We know upgrading your PC hasn't been exactly cheap lately. Between RAMageddon and electronics price hikes across the board, everything from SSDs to laptops have become more expensive in 2026. But if you're looking to add more storage, Samsung has a new option on the table.

Samsung has officially launched the Samsung 990 SSD, a PCIe Gen 4 NVMe drive built for everyday users who want fast, responsive storage for gaming, creative work, and daily computing. Available now in 1TB ($269.99) and 2TB ($529.99) capacities, the new drive focuses on delivering high performance while using less power than Samsung's flagship 990 Pro.

What does the Samsung 990 SSD offer?

The Samsung 990 SSD is designed to speed up everyday tasks, whether you're loading games, moving large files, or managing creative projects. It delivers sequential read speeds of up to 7,250 MB/s and write speeds of up to 6,450 MB/s, helping reduce load times, speed up installations, and transfer high-resolution photos and videos quickly.

Samsung says the drive reaches random read and write speeds of up to 850K and 1,200K IOPS, which can help keep everyday workloads running smoothly and responsively. The new drive is positioned as an easy upgrade for existing PCs or a dependable option for new desktop builds.

More speed without the price tag

Beyond raw speed, Samsung is putting a big emphasis on efficiency. Samsung says the 990 SSD offers up to 38% better performance per watt than the 990 Pro, making it its most power-efficient SSD so far. That efficiency helps the drive deliver fast speeds while keeping power consumption lower, which is useful for laptops and everyday computing.

Samsung also bundles its Magician software, which lets you monitor drive health, install firmware updates, and manage security features from one dashboard.

Grab the Samsung 990 SSD starting at $279 and give your setup a much-needed upgrade.

BTS and IShowSpeed met each other in the hallway at the 2026 FIFA World Cup final and the video is pure glee with added backflip.

The South Korean superstars performed in the first ever World Cup halftime show on Sunday, during the final match between victors Spain and runners up Argentina. In a delightful exchange on the day, BTS members RM, Jin, SUGA, j-hope, Jimin, V, and Jung Kook ran into the YouTube megastar (and Mashable 101 alumnus) in the halls of MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey.

In a video posted to Instagram by IShowSpeed, it's hard to tell who is fanning out harder.

Speed's backflip? So casual. And there's a lot of "big fan" exclamations exchanged all round. It's extremely sweet.

"We were just as amazed to meet you🙌" wrote BTS' V in the comments. J-Hope and RM also added emoji under the video.

During the World Cup halftime show, BTS performed their 2020 Grammy nominated, chart-topping, YouTube-smashing single "Dynamite," the group's first number one in America. In a performance curated by Coldplay's Chris Martin and Global Citizen, BTS shared the lineup with Madonna, Justin Bieber, Shakira, Burna Boy, the Muppets, and more, including appearances from football legends Ronaldo and Ronaldinho and Ted Lasso's Jason Sudeikis and Brendan Hunt in character.

BTS will perform again at the MetLife Stadium in a few weeks' time, returning to the U.S. for more dates on their ARIRANG World Tour.

Featured Video For You How F1 became a global obsession

It's been a major World Cup for Speed (aka Darren Watkins Jr.) as he's become one of the biggest U.S. names during the tournament off the field. The 21-year-old football-loving creator has been livestreaming matches to his millions of followers through his official partnership with FIFA, YouTube and Fox Sports.

Speed also hosted the inaugural YouTube FIFA Creator Cup, a creator-led exhibition match in New York City's Central Park, last Sunday. Mashable chatted to the host at the event, with Culture Editor Crystal Bell specifically asking him to build a dream World Cup squad from One Piece characters.

Early in the tournament, the streamer went viral for not recognising New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani sitting right beside him in MetLife Stadium, during the first World Cup 2026 game between Brazil and Morocco. However, in more serious news, FIFA investigated after alleged racist abuse aimed at Speed was captured in one of his YouTube livestreams for the World Cup.

Sweet moments of wholesome fandom between superstars, after all that, are pure gold.

I used to spend far too much time building and debugging complex Excel formulas. Now, I can describe a problem to AI and get a working answer in seconds. But when I asked ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini for the "best" Excel formula, they all gave me different answers.

The Mini is a bite-sized version of The New York Times' revered daily crossword. While the crossword is a lengthier experience that requires both knowledge and patience to complete, The Mini is an entirely different vibe.

It recognizes accents, technical terminology, and conversational speech, making it just as useful for brainstorming an article as it is for documenting a meeting, replying to emails, or dictating comments.

Because everything runs locally on your device, your voice recordings stay private instead of being routed through the cloud. That also means you can keep using Voibe even without an internet connection, making it handy on flights, during commutes, or anywhere Wi-Fi is unreliable.

The biggest advantage, though, is the time savings. Whether you’re a writer trying to capture ideas before they disappear, a student taking notes, a developer talking through code, or a professional answering emails, dictation can dramatically speed up everyday computer work. If typing has always been the bottleneck in your workflow, Voibe offers a simple way to get your thoughts from your head onto the page.

The Avatar: The Last Airbender series’ dedicated MTG starter box has seen price drops before, but Amazon has now knocked this fun entry kit down to below-market value.

As of July 20, the Magic: The Gathering Avatar The Last Airbender Beginner Box is available at Amazon for $22.94. With $12.05 taken off its $34.99 list price, that's a 34% discount on the complete two-player set.

This listing is shipped and sold directly by Amazon, with free delivery currently showing for July 25 on qualifying orders, while Prime members can have it arrive as early as July 22 at the time of writing. One important detail is that Amazon marks the item as a final sale, meaning it cannot be returned after purchase. 

Amazon’s price even sits below the latest TCGplayer figures. The dedicated trading card marketplace lists the Beginner Box at a $24.87 market price, while its cheapest unopened listing is $25.80, including shipping.

As for the box itself, the Beginner Box is designed to teach two people Magic together rather than to hand new players a stack of cards and leave them to decipher the rules. It opens with a guided Aang-versus-Zuko game using two 20-card tutorial decks, with separate step-by-step guides taking both players through the first match.

After that introduction, there are eight more 20-card half-decks built around Firebending, Earthbending, Waterbending, Allies, Big Creatures, Counters, Spells, and Attacking. Pair any two together, and you have a 40-card deck, letting you switch themes and try different combinations without needing to build from scratch.

The box also includes two playboards, two Spindown life counters, five double-sided tokens, two learn-to-play guides, and a rules reference booklet. In total, that gives you everything needed to start playing straight away, while the mix-and-match decks offer more staying power than a single-use tutorial kit.

If you haven’t had the chance to grab any packs from the Pokémon TCG’s new Pitch Black expansion just yet, you can score a new low price on preorders for its hotly anticipated blister pack. 

As of July 20, the Pokémon TCG Mega Evolution Pitch Black 3-Booster Pack Blister is available to preorder at Amazon for $19.99 through third-party seller Glaceon Island. Shipping adds $4.99, bringing the order to $24.98 before tax. This is the lowest price we’ve seen, confirmed with price tracker camelcamelcamel.

The blister is releasing on July 24, though the actual delivery date at the time of writing is between July 30 and Aug. 13. 

At $24.98, each of the three Pitch Black booster packs effectively costs about $8.33, with the included Binacle foil promo card adding a little more value than buying loose packs, which you can currently buy on Amazon for $12.99.

Amazon is not the absolute cheapest option, however. As has been the case in the trading card game lately, TCGplayer has been the cheapest, with unopened listings starting at $21.89, including shipping, narrowly above its $21.65 market price. Walmart is also under $25 at $23.99, down from $34.99 — which is a nice backup if you’re open to shopping beyond Amazon, but aren’t keen on a dedicated trading card platform like TCGplayer. 

As for what you can pull from these three packs in the blister, Pitch Black has plenty of high-priced chase cards you can find (or buy individually on TCGplayer) — including SIR Mega Darkrai ex, MHR Mega Darkrai ex, SIR Morpeko ex, SIR Mega Zeraora ex, SIR Mega Chandelure ex. 

For even more boosters, the six-pack Pitch Black Booster Bundle is also on sale at Amazon for around $50. You can also get an even lower cost-per-pack with the 36-pack Pitch Black Display Booster Display Box on sale for $50 off. 

TL;DR: The Pokémon TCG Pitch Black Sleeved Booster Pack is on sale for $12.99 at Amazon, down from its $14.99 typical price.

Pitch Black has only just joined the Pokémon TCG’s Mega Evolution lineup, but Amazon has already made opening a single pack a little cheaper for anyone who doesn’t want to commit to a full box. 

As of July 20, the Pokémon TCG Mega Evolution Pitch Black Sleeved Booster Pack is available at Amazon for $12.99. That takes $2 off its typical $14.99 price, representing a 13% discount on these single boosters for the highly sought-after new expansion. 

Although it is shipped by third-party seller “MEGACARDS!!!”, this still comes with Amazon’s 30-day refund or replacement window, and free delivery is showing for July 27 at the time of writing.

If you want to save as much as possible, however, TCGplayer is the cheapest option for readily available Pitch Black Booster Packs by a mile — from $7.89 with shipping included. That price is $1.49 below the product’s $9.38 market value and about $5.10 below Amazon's price. Standard unsleeved Pitch Black Booster Packs are cheaper again, with listings from $6.19 delivered, compared to a $6.29 market price.

As usual with these sorts of packs, each sleeved booster includes one sealed Pitch Black pack containing 10 random trading cards, along with the cardboard outer packaging designed to give it extra protection. 

The Pitch Black expansion contains more than 115 cards, including over 20 Trainer cards and more than 35 Pokémon and Trainer cards with special illustrations. 

This collection also has some expensive chase cards waiting inside (which you can also buy individually on TCGplayer), including Special Illustration Rare and Mega Hyper Rare versions of Mega Darkrai ex, alongside SIR cards for Mega Zeraora ex and Morpeko ex.

For an even lower cost per pack, you can grab the Pokémon TCG’s six-pack Pitch Black Booster Bundle on sale for around $50. Meanwhile, you can also score up to $50 off the 36-pack Pitch Black Booster Display Box. 

Apple has increased the subscription price of Apple Music in the U.S., but that's not where the price hikes end.

An Apple Music Individual plan now costs $11.99 per month, up from $10.99. Student plans now cost $6.99, up from $5.99. And if you want to get a Family plan, that'll be $19.99, up from $16.99.

Europeans get the exact same numbers, only in euros: Individual plans are now €11.99, Student plans are €6.99, and a Family plan is €19.99. In the UK, the Individual plan now costs £11.99, while the Family plan is £19.99.

New subscribers will have to pay the new prices right away; existing subscribers will get a notification soon and will be billed the new prices at their next billing cycle.

In a statement to Music Business Worldwide, Apple said the price hikes are a result of "rising licensing costs."

Apple One plans have also gotten pricier. While the basic plan still has the same price, the Family plan now costs $27.95 (up from $25.95), while the Premier plan costs $39.95 (up from $37.95).

There's more bad news for consumers, although it's scattered throughout different markets. As MacRumors noticed, iPhone prices have gone up roughly 8-10 percent in Japan, and iCloud+ prices have gone up quite a bit (from 11 to 55 percent) in 8 countries: Nigeria, Turkey, Vietnam, Japan, Egypt, New Zealand, the Philippines, and Indonesia.

The news comes about a month after Apple increased the prices of numerous products in its lineup, mostly due to the memory chip supply crunch.

The 2026 FIFA World Cup final kicked off on Sunday evening at MetLife Stadium, New Jersey, with Argentina and Spain battling it out for the championship title. This year's tournament was a little different though, with FIFA staging its first halftime show in the competition's 96-year history.

Curated by Coldplay's Chris Martin, the FIFA World Cup halftime show was an 11-minute gauntlet of musicians from across the globe, including Shakira, BTS, Justin Bieber, and Burna Boy. The Muppets also played an instrumental rendition of The White Stripes' "Seven Nation Army" with the New York Philharmonic orchestra.

Madonna opened the show with a mashup of "Music" and "Danceteria," with Brazilian soccer greats Ronaldo and Ronaldinho appearing alongside her, while K-pop phenomenon BTS performed a truncated version of their English-language hit "Dynamite." Ted Lasso actors Jason Sudeikis and Brendan Hunt then made cameos, respectively playing the title character and Coach Beard from the feel-good football series, and giving Justin Bieber a pep talk before he slowed things down with an acoustic performance of "Everything Hallelujah." 

Shakira and Burna Boy followed with the 2026 FIFA World Cup's official anthem "Dai Dai," delivering a jarring change of mood, before before Coldplay, the Muppets, and the PS22 Chorus children's choir closed out the halftime show by debuting the band's new song "We Dance."

The full performance is available now on FIFA's official YouTube channel.

Unfortunately, despite the star-studded lineup, online reactions to the FIFA World Cup's first ever halftime show were largely underwhelmed. On the bright side, it's substantial feedback for organisers to consider when putting together the next World Cup tournament in 2030.

If you like playing daily word games like Wordle, then Hurdle is a great game to add to your routine.

There are five rounds to the game. The first round sees you trying to guess the word, with correct, misplaced, and incorrect letters shown in each guess. If you guess the correct answer, it'll take you to the next hurdle, providing the answer to the last hurdle as your first guess. This can give you several clues or none, depending on the words. For the final hurdle, every correct answer from previous hurdles is shown, with correct and misplaced letters clearly shown.

An important note is that the number of times a letter is highlighted from previous guesses does necessarily indicate the number of times that letter appears in the final hurdle.
