SAVE 28%: As of March 31, you can get the 75-inch TCL Class QM8K Series 4K Mini-LED TV (2025 Model) for $1,447.99, down from $1,999.99 at Amazon. That's a 28% discount or $552 off.

No one actually needs a 75-inch TV, but if you're someone who lives for sports, hosts a lot of movie marathons with friends and family, or has a partner who insists the living room needs a screen the size of a billboard (or maybe you are that partner), Amazon's Big Spring Sale is making it a lot easier to justify.

As of March 31, you can get the 75-inch TCL Class QM8K Series 4K Mini-LED TV (2025 Model) for $1,447.99 at Amazon, down from $1,999.99. That's a 28% discount or $552 in savings. And while it's not the lowest price we've seen it go for (it was about $100 less last November), this is still a pretty good deal for a TV with a 4.4-star rating.

This specific model uses QD-Mini LED paired with TCL's Halo Control System. In everyday viewing, this means you get better contrast without the distracting light bleed (or "halo" effect) around bright objects on dark backgrounds. It also includes an anti-reflective, edge-to-edge panel, which is helpful if you're putting the TV in a room that gets a lot of natural light.

Home Assistant can help you to do useful things, such as turning lights on and off or controlling your heating, but not every automation has to be completely practical. These are some of the coolest things I've done using Home Assistant.

As a headphones reviewer who's also covered the past two years of Amazon's Big Spring Sale, I knew that the seasonally themed sale could bring some decent tech savings, even if they weren't quite Prime Day-worthy.

Still, I didn't expect the noise-cancelling headphones and earbuds deals to be as good as they are. On the final day of the weeklong Amazon sale, a new markdown on the last-gen Sony WH-1000XM5s has joined existing deals on Bose QuietComfort headphones, the Apple AirPods Pro 3, and the JLab JBuds Lux ANC, our favorite budget cans. (Plus, Amazon has revived its preorder discount on the new AirPods Max 2.) If you haven't added anything to your cart just yet, you still have plenty of options.

That said: The Big Spring Sale ends at 11:59 p.m. PT tonight (March 31), so time is running out. For some buying guidance, I've rounded up my absolute favorite noise-cancelling headphone and earbud deals below.

They may not be the flashiest headphones from the brand, but the regular QuietComforts feel like quintessential Bose. They're comfortable, have sound quality on par with more expensive headphones, and excellent ANC. They lack the spatial audio features or fancier design of their Ultra counterparts, but at $249 on sale, they're also about $200 less, making them an excellent option if you want something nicer than budget headphones, but don't want to drop $400 or more. When Mashable's Sam Mangino tested them for our guide of Bose headphones, she wrote, "I was pleasantly surprised at just how incredible they are." As a bonus, they have replaceable ear cups, making them great for future proofing.

The Home Depot doesn't hold competition sales for any of Amazon's seasonal sales as reliably as Target or Walmart do. That doesn't mean that there aren't any good spring deals to be found at the Home Depot during Amazon's Big Spring Sale. You just have to scroll a little bit.

So far, the Home Depot is once again giving away some free power tools with select purchases — reminiscent of the BOGO cordless tool promo we saw during Black Friday. (But hurry, some of the free DeWalt deals have sold out already.) The Home Depot is also quietly competing with Wayfair's Big Outdoor Sale with discounts on outdoor furniture, as well as up to 40% off in other home categories, from mattresses to wallpaper to area rugs from big brands like Safavieh.

The midnight and starlight variants are both marked down to $529, which is $20 off their normal retail price of $549. (Suffice to say, they've never been cheaper.) They were still stuck at full price at other major retailers like Best Buy, Target, and Walmart.

Apple surprise-announced the AirPods Max 2 last week, a small but long-awaited update to its supremely stylish over-ear headphones; they're set for release on April 1. We have yet to test them, but Apple promises that they offer better noise cancellation than the original AirPods Max, which it launched in 2020 and updated with USB-C charging in 2024.

The new AirPods Max 2 also support more smart features, including Adaptive Audio, Conversation Awareness, Voice Isolation, Live Translation, Siri head gestures, and a camera remote. (If you have your camera app pulled up on a paired iPhone or iPad, pressing the AirPods Max 2's Digital Crown takes a picture.) They run on the H2 chip like the AirPods Pro 3.

This is the first-ever discount for the new AirPods Max 2 headphones, and you can only find this preorder offer at Amazon

Best Amazon Big Spring Sale vacuum deal Eufy C28 $499.99 at Amazon
$799.99 Save $300   Get Deal at Amazon Get Deal at Eufy

Read Mashable's review of the Eufy C28.

Mashable's robot vacuum expert, Leah Stodart, tested and loved the Eufy C28 when it came out last month. At $499.99 for the Big Spring Sale, the Eufy C28 is not only the most affordable roller mop robot vacuum you'll find this season, but the best budget robot vacuum and mop combo period.

If you're jaded from a bad mopping robot vacuum experience in the past, it's probably because it smeared dirty water more than it scrubbed. Stodart thinks that this Eufy's self-rinsing roller mop will change your mind. Its fluffy material is already more absorbent than the typical thin mopping pad — but just to ensure liquid spills aren't being smeared around, the C28's roller gets rinsed with clean water multiple times per second. Its self-emptying dock also washes and dries the mop after each cleaning.

Airbnb will now let you book private car pickups, mirroring longtime offerings from competitors like Expedia, Tripadvisor-owned Viator, and Booking.com.

Announced Tuesday in a blog post, the travel company has paired up with Greek company Welcome Pickups to allow Airbnb users to pre-book airport and station transfers through the app.

It's not a groundbreaking, earth-shattering update, just pretty unwelcome news for Airbnb's competitors.

SEE ALSO: The 'Heated Rivalry' cottage is available to rent on Airbnb

If you book accommodation with Airbnb, you'll be prompted with the option to pre-book transfers, in a similar manner to other travel sites that throw add-ons at you after you've dropped the big budget allocation on your bed for the night.

For arrivals, you'll supply your flight number in the app for drivers to monitor delays and sync the pickup time, then you'll need to look for the driver waiting with your name on it at the airport or station. For departures, you can add your accommodation details and preferred time through the app just like a ridesharing platform like Uber, Lyft, etc. — the process will just be more streamlined as your address will already be in the Airbnb app.

According to the company blog post, the private car service was successfully tested in early 2026 to positive reviews. Pickups will be rolled out in 125 cities in Latin America, Asia, and Europe — North America has not yet been added, although Welcome Pickups has operated in U.S. cities including New York, Los Angeles, and Chicago since 2021.

Airbnb said there will be "more cities to come in these regions throughout 2026," but for Heated Rivalry fans going to the cottage, Canada's not on the list yet.

It can only get better for USA. They are looking to bounce back after losing 5-2 to Belgium in their last fixture, but facing off against Portugal is going to be a tough task. Portugal tied 1-1 with Mexico last week, but they possess the talent to beat any team. Expect the likes of Vitinha and Bruno Fernandes to give the USA problems at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium.

Amazon's Big Spring Sale ends tonight (March 31 at 11:59 p.m. PT), and the deals on Apple AirPods are still hanging around, for the most part. The AirPods Pro 3 are still on sale for under $200, while the first-generation AirPods Max are still marked down to $449.99 — though if you venture beyond Amazon, you can find them for even cheaper.

The standard AirPods 4 (both with and without ANC) have gotten slightly more expensive since dipping by $30 at the start of the Big Spring Sale last week, but they're not back up to full price just yet. And Amazon still has the best prices on them anywhere; they're matched at Walmart and B&H Photo, but more expensive at Target and Best Buy.

If you're not looking to drop a ton of cash on new earbuds, the AirPods 4 without active noise cancellation have dropped to $114.95 at Amazon, saving you $14.05 on list price. (They were $99.99 earlier in the sale, FYI.) We think these are the best budget earbuds for Apple users. They sound nice, fit well in most people's ears, and offer up to five hours of listening per charge.

The AirPods Pro 3 are some of our favorite earbuds for Apple users, earning spots on both our lists of the best headphones and best earbuds. Our review had high praise for them, with writer Adam Doud calling them, "a remarkable upgrade in functionality over their predecessors, with better battery life and ANC, as well as a new heart rate sensor."

Boasting great sound quality and noise-cancelling features, alongside a hefty battery life that can last up to eight hours (with ANC) on a single charge, these AirPods are a nice upgrade indeed. During Amazon's Big Spring Sale, they're marked down to $199.

Premium noise-canceling headphones from brands like Sony and Bose are much better value, but AirPods Max are a popular pick nonetheless. (If nothing else, they're super stylish.) Apple announced the AirPods Max 2 with better ANC and smart features earlier this month, and now the first-gen models with USB-C charging are on sale on Amazon for $449.99, or $100 off. But don't buy them there: We spotted them on sale for just $399.99 at Woot, Amazon's daily deals site. That matches their record-low price on Amazon itself.

A quick look at the best Amazon Spring Sale robot vacuum deals: Best robot vacuum on sale overall Dreame X60 Max Ultra Complete $1,359.90 at Amazon (save $340.09) Get Deal Best roller mop robot vacuum deal Eufy C28 $499.99 at Amazon (save $300) Get Deal Best budget robot vacuum deal 3i G10+ $199.99 at Amazon (save $50) Get Deal

I have seven robot vacuums in my apartment right at this moment, and those are all just models that have come out in 2026. Perhaps that gives you an idea of how many robot vacuums I test at home on a yearly basis — and why I'm always super confident in telling readers which robot vacuum deals are worth it during any Amazon sale event.

So, I'm back with an updated list of robot vacuum recommendations for Amazon's 2026 Big Spring Sale, which ends today. A good robot vacuum is a staple in my general spring cleaning starter kit because automating your floor care quite literally frees up some time to focus on the chores you don't do as often.

SEE ALSO: The Shark UV Reveal robot vacuum came out less than a month ago. It's already on sale for Amazon's spring sale.

A ton of solid robovacs across all price points are up to 50% off, significantly expanding the number of options that fall within your ideal budget. Even the fanciest flagship Dreame, Roborock, and Shark robot vacuums that just came out are already seeing discounts. But this is your last chance to snag a robovac at these prices, with the clock now ticking on Amazon's Big Spring Sale.

(Looking for the best cordless vacuum deals or the best spring cleaning deals to restock kitchen, bathroom, and laundry products? We've kept tabs on those, too.)

Best robot vacuum on sale overall Eufy C28 $499.99 at Amazon
$799.99 Save $300   Get Deal at Amazon Get Deal at Eufy

Read Mashable's review of the Eufy C28.

While I'm stoked that the most powerful robot vacuums of the year are actually seeing decent discounts, they still cost more than $1,000 on sale. So the more realistic route for my "best robot vacuum deal overall" pick is the Eufy C28, now under $500 (compared to its usual $799). It's still a 2026 premium robot vacuum and mop combo that rocked during my testing, and it's likely the most affordable mainstream roller mop robot vacuum you'll find this season.

If you're jaded from a bad mopping robot vacuum experience in the past, it's probably because it smeared dirty water more than it scrubbed. I think that this Eufy's self-rinsing roller mop will change your mind. Its fluffy material is already more absorbent than the typical thin mopping pad — but just to ensure liquid spills aren't being smeared around, the C28's roller gets rinsed with clean water multiple times per second. Its self-emptying dock also washes and dries the mop after each cleaning.

Best budget robot vacuum deal 3i G10+ $199.99 at Amazon
$249.99 Save $50   Get Deal at Amazon

Read Mashable's review of the 3i G10+.

In search of a cheap robot vacuum that doesn't suck? The $149.99 Shark Ion robot vacuum that probably popped up first at Amazon is far from the best robot vacuum under $200 during this sale. Instead, I'd point you to a more niche budget pick that wowed me during testing. Last year, I said that the 3i G10+ was "the most impressive robot vacuum under $500" (and that you've probably never heard of it). Now, it's on sale for a record-low $199.99.

The G10+ uses a unique dust compression system to keep you off dustbin emptying duty for 60 days, but without requiring space for a traditional self-empty dock. This means that the G10+ can live under relatively low-clearance furniture like a couch or TV stand. In this price range, I was blown away by its small obstacle avoidance capabilities and livestream pet camera. The Shark Ion doesn't even have smart mapping for cleaning specific rooms on command.

If you don't want to shell out that extra $50, you can spend the same $149.99 on the Roborock Q7 M5. That still secures mopping, room or zone cleaning through LiDAR smart mapping, and 10,000 Pa of suction power, beating the Shark Ion by a long shot.

If you are reading this, there is a 90% chance you have VS Code installed. It is the industry standard for a reason. It has an extension for everything from Kubernetes management to a pet cat that walks across your status bar, but as we move through 2026, many of us have started to notice the "Electron Creep" and the lag it brings. The reality is that VS Code is essentially a web browser pretending to be a text editor.

RAM prices have soared in the last year, and what used to be an inexpensive component to upgrade now can cost as much as a GPU used to. If your PC is running low on RAM, there are a few things you can do to mitigate the problem.

TL;DR: For the final day of the Amazon Big Spring Sale, the Dreame X60 Max Ultra Complete Robot Vacuum is marked down to $1,359.90, a record-low price on this flagship robovac. That's 20% off the list price of $1,699.99.

It's your last chance to clean up in Amazon's Big Spring Sale. And we mean that quite literally with some of the deals on robot vacuum cleaners, which have been going strong since the beginning of the sale last week. With just hours to go before the seasonal sale wraps up for another year, we've spotted an elite robovac enter the fray at the last minute: The Dreame X60 Max Ultra Complete, a robot vacuum and mop combo that boasts the strongest suction power you can buy right now and AI-assisted navigation, as we noted in our first impressions review last month.

On the final day of the Big Spring Sale, the Dreame X60 Max Ultra Complete Robot Vacuum is priced at $1,359.90. That's a total saving of $340.09 from the list price of $1,699.99 — a super discount for such a new model and its lowest price so far.

SEE ALSO: Review: Is the Antigravity A1 drone the DJI replacement we've been hoping for?

The big sell of the Dreame X60 Max Ultra Complete is its immense 35,000 Pa suction, but there's more to it than power. Our reviewer said it was "outstanding" on capret. It also has advanced small-obstacle avoidance capabilities, using AI cameras that can recognise and navigate around more than 280 objects on your floor. It can climb up obstacles of 3.4in, such as rugs and door tracks, and gets deep into corners with dual flex arms.

Our reviewer also rated its mopping performance and relatively quiet operation, especially considering the power this robo-vac is packing. It comes with a charging and emptying dock that holds up to 100 days of dust. All you need to do is program it via the Dreame app and let it do your dirty work.

Don't miss your last chance to get the Dreame X60 Max Ultra Complete Robot Vacuum at its lowest ever price of $1,359.90 — a $340.09 discount for the final day of the Amazon Big Spring Sale.

As a shopping reporter, trust me when I say I understand better than most that Amazon's sale schedule can feel fatiguing. However, as a headphones reviewer, I also can't deny that this year's Big Spring Sale offers a great opportunity to upgrade your audio game on the cheap.

Having spent the last few years testing the latest in noise-cancelling tech, open earbuds, and even sleep earbuds, I was curious to see what this week's sale would bring. Honestly, Amazon isn't messing around this time.

Now that it's the final day of the sale, some deals are expiring. Sony's latest flagship headphones are no longer marked down, but luckily, Bose finally dropped prices on its QuietComfort headphones, QuietComfort Ultra 2 headphones, and Ultra Open earbuds.

The Big Spring Sale officially wraps up today, March 31, at 11:59 p.m. PT. If you see a pair you've been eyeing, now's the time to grab them.

Just a heads up: If you see a deal crossed out below, it means it has either sold out or the price has gone back up.

The gulf between budget headphones and premium headphones feels like it gets smaller with every new release, and nowhere does that feel more apparent than with the mid-tier Bose QuietComfort headphones. (To be clear, that's not a knock against premium headphones — the cheaper models are just getting that good). Though they don't have the absolute best comfort or spatial audio of their $449 QuietComfort Ultra 2 counterparts, they do come awfully close in that first category. And if you're not big on spatial audio anyway, it's not worth shelling out the extra cash for the flagship option.

The QuietComfort headphones live up to their name, and for $249, do it at a much more accessible price point than other options on our list (even with sale prices taken into consideration). While this isn't their lowest price ever — that would be $179 — this is still a solid get for the Spring Sale.

Best earbuds deal Technics EAH-AZ100 $247.99 at Amazon
$299.99 Save $52   Get Deal at Amazon Get Deal at Technics Why we like it

If you're chasing the absolute best audio fidelity in a wireless package, the Technics EAH-AZ100 are the new buds to beat. Right now, they're down to $247.99 at Amazon, saving you a solid $52 off their usual price.

Our tech editor, Timothy Beck Werth, says these buds deliver "richer, fuller, and more detailed sound" than any other earbuds he's ever tested. Thanks to their proprietary Magnetic Fluid Driver, you get incredibly clear bass and can distinctly hear individual layers in complex tracks without the notes blurring into each other.

You're also getting adaptive active noise cancellation, seamless switching between three devices, and clever AI tech that blocks out background noise for both you and whoever you're talking to on the phone. Just keep in mind that they might make your ears a little sore if you keep them in for more than a few hours at a time. Still, if you're an audio nerd looking for reference-class sound, this is a pretty good deal.

Check out our full review of the Panasonic Technics EAH-AZ100 earbuds.

Best open earbuds deal Opens in a new window Credit: EarFun EarFun Clip $48.98 at Amazon
$69.99 Save $21.01   Get Deal Why we like it

Open earbuds are convenient — they let you have the best of both worlds experience of enjoying your music privately while still getting to stay aware of the world around you. Where they may lose some convenience points, however, is in the fact that most people probably already own a pair of earbuds, and won't be too jazzed at the idea of dropping $100 or more on new ones just for some extra awareness.

Enter: the EarFun Clip. No, the sound quality won't quite match up to that of the Bose or Sony options, but at $48.98, they're also about one-sixth and one-fourth the price of those buds, respectively. I've spent time using them, and for their price point, they have well-rounded sound and minimal noise leakage compared to other open earbuds. If you've been open earbud-curious but less inclined to drop a ton of cash, this is the deal for you.

The NYT Connections puzzle today is not too difficult if you like sea raiders.

Connections is the one of the most popular New York Times word games that's captured the public's attention. The game is all about finding the "common threads between words." And just like Wordle, Connections resets after midnight and each new set of words gets trickier and trickier—so we've served up some hints and tips to get you over the hurdle.

If you just want to be told today's puzzle, you can jump to the end of this article for today's Connections solution. But if you'd rather solve it yourself, keep reading for some clues, tips, and strategies to assist you.

The NYT's latest daily word game has become a social media hit. The Times credits associate puzzle editor Wyna Liu with helping to create the new word game and bringing it to the publications' Games section. Connections can be played on both web browsers and mobile devices and require players to group four words that share something in common.

This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.

Each puzzle features 16 words and each grouping of words is split into four categories. These sets could comprise of anything from book titles, software, country names, etc. Even though multiple words will seem like they fit together, there's only one correct answer.

If a player gets all four words in a set correct, those words are removed from the board. Guess wrong and it counts as a mistake—players get up to four mistakes until the game ends.

Players can also rearrange and shuffle the board to make spotting connections easier. Additionally, each group is color-coded with yellow being the easiest, followed by green, blue, and purple. Like Wordle, you can share the results with your friends on social media.

Today's NYT Strands hints are easy if you believe in magic.

Strands, the New York Times' elevated word-search game, requires the player to perform a twist on the classic word search. Words can be made from linked letters — up, down, left, right, or diagonal, but words can also change direction, resulting in quirky shapes and patterns. Every single letter in the grid will be part of an answer. There's always a theme linking every solution, along with the "spangram," a special, word or phrase that sums up that day's theme, and spans the entire grid horizontally or vertically.

By providing an opaque hint and not providing the word list, Strands creates a brain-teasing game that takes a little longer to play than its other games, like Wordle and Connections.

If you're feeling stuck or just don't have 10 or more minutes to figure out today's puzzle, we've got all the NYT Strands hints for today's puzzle you need to progress at your preferred pace.
