Premium headphones and speakers brand JBL released five new pairs of open earbuds of all shapes and sizes earlier this year after debuting them at CES 2026. I find them all to be a little too expensive for my liking, TBH, so I've been eyeing them and waiting for a notable price drop. Finally, two months after their debut, the most affordable of the ear hook-style options, the Sense Lite, have their first ever discount.
As of Memorial Day on May 25, the JBL Sense Lite open earbuds are on sale for just $119.95 at Amazon. That's a $30 or 20% price drop from their $149.95 list price and the lowest price on record.
Part of JBL's new audio-first OpenSound Series, the Sense Lite are designed to maintain high-quality audio without obstructing the ear canal. They offer a more simplified design than the more advanced Sense Pro, but they'll also cost you $50 less. You'll get an Adaptive Bass Boost feature for powerful sound, a sleek and comfortable ear hook design, four mics for crisp calls, and customizable touch controls and 10-band EQ. They deliver eight hours of battery life, plus an extra 24 in the charging case.
While I haven't tested the Sense Lite earbuds myself, I can definitely vouch for JBL as a brand. I've owned the JBL Endurance Peak earhook-style earbuds for a few years now (as well as the JBL Clip and Flip speakers) and they're still going strong. If you've been curious about open earbuds or are simply looking for a new pair of earbuds for working out or commuting, give the JBL Sense Lite open earbuds a shot. At just $119.95, they're a pretty great value compared to other popular options.
I install this open-source app store on every Android device (even my TVs)
One of the first apps I install on a new Android device isn't from the Play Store; it's an alternative to the Play Store. F-Droid is an open-source app store packed with useful apps that often have no ads, tracking, or subscriptions. It's perfect as a companion to the Play Store, and what's more, it works on just about any Android device.
Survey says 99% of executives are prepared for AI layoffs in next two years
Corporate execs are prepped and ready to cut their workforces down due to AI in the next two years, according to a new corporate survey of the job market.
Conducted by the Mercer consulting firm, the global report surveyed 12,000 respondents across upper-level management, human resources, and lower-level employees.

SEE ALSO: 3 key takeaways from Pope Leo's 42,000-word AI encyclicalMore than 99 percent of executives surveyed for the report said they expect AI "to lead to at least some headcount reduction in the next two years." In addition, fully 98 percent of executives said they were "planning organization design changes in the next two years." And, when compared to other employees, C-Suite-level execs were much more focused on figuring out how to incorporate AI and automation.
So far this year, Amazon, Atlassian, Block, Fiverr, Pinterest, and Snap have announced layoffs related to AI, and an estimated 50,000 AI layoffs occurred in 2025.
Not every exec believes the shifting job market is cause for alarm. Goldman Sachs CEO David Solomon recently penned a New York Times opinion piece calling the "AI job apocalypse" overblown. "The United States has a long track record of creating new jobs in response to disruption," Solomon wrote. "The historical pattern is clear: The U.S. economy can and will adapt to major advances in technology."
A recent study conducted by the Harvard Business School found that generative AI is actually increasing demand for jobs in "augmentation-prone" roles in the short term, and that workforce reductions are primarily hitting finance and tech sectors.
But only a third of execs told the consulting firm they believe human and machine capabilities can be effectively combined in workforces at large. Employee satisfaction is still a concern, as well. Amid worsening workforce and economic anxiety, more than a third of employees said they would consider leaving their jobs if they felt disadvantaged when it came to AI, according to the trend report.
According to a September Pew Research Center survey, 21 percent of Americans said their work is partially done with AI. While the larger majority of American workers (65 percent) still say AI hasn't encroached on their jobs, AI integration is increasingly affecting younger, early-career employees and college graduates.

Now that we're wrapping up the long Memorial Day weekend, it's time to do some scrolling. If you're not in the mood to doomscroll, consider scrolling some deals. Memorial Day has proven to be a great time to score some savings across categories like tech, portable power stations, robot lawn mowers, and even mattresses.

Best Dyson vacuum deal Opens in a new window Credit: Dyson Dyson PencilVac $449.99 at Dyson$599.99 Save $150 Get Deal Why we like it
Mashable's resident vacuum tester and Senior Shopping Reporter Leah Stodart hasn't been this excited about a Dyson vacuum in years. In her initial review of the Dyson PencilVac, she notes it weighs under four pounds and measures less than 1.5 inches around, which is impressive considering the battery, motor, and dust bin are all housed in the wand. Its weight and size make it excellent for vacuuming awkward places like the corners of the ceiling where cobwebs love to accumulate.
"The PencilVac also has two of my favorite Dyson feature ever, the dust-illuminating laser: One that lights the cleaning path ahead and one that lights the trail directly behind the cleaning head," wrote Stodart.
For those looking to make summer floor cleaning easier, consider today's sale price on the Dyson PencilVac. It's down to $449.99 at Dyson and Amazon.

Read Mashable's full review of the Anker Solix C1000 portable power station here.
I've tested dozens of portable power stations, and the Anker Solix C1000 remains one of the best models for taking along to the campground. Sure, Anker has already launched the Solix C1000 Gen 2 but the original C1000 comes with some features that are excellent for camping. For one, the built-in LED lightbar is fantastic for using around the campsite, which is missing from the new Gen 2.
The Solix C1000 has six AC ports, an impressive amount for a power station with 1,056Wh capacity. There's also the dual USB-A and USB-C ports for plenty of options while camping.

Red alert: The M5 MacBook Air finally dropped below $900 for Memorial Day
SAVE $200: As of May 25, the 13-inch Apple MacBook Air (M5, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD) is down to $899.99 at Amazon. That's 18% off its list price and the first time it's dropped below the $900 mark.

Just a few days ago, we were cheering about the Apple M5 MacBook Air dropping to $949 for Memorial Day Weekend. Now we're practically shouting because the almost perfect machine (according to Mashable's tech editor) just dipped below the $900 price barrier for the first time on Memorial Day itself.
As of May 25, the base model Apple M5 MacBook Air with 16GB of RAM and 512GB of solid-state storage is on sale for just $899.99. That's 18% off its list price and its best price ever.
"There's no denying that this laptop justifies its price," Mashable Tech Editor Timothy Werth writes in his review of the latest MacBook Air, noting its impressive performance and speed, sizable storage, and support for WiFi 7 and Bluetooth 6 technology. Still, he suggested waiting for it to go on sale for $899 to pull the trigger, calling it "irresistible" at that price.
The starting price for the M5 Air is technically higher than its predecessor, though you're getting more starting storage. So, when you do the math, you'll actually be saving even more by grabbing this deal. Not to mention, this discount puts the M5 Air within a $200 striking distance of Apple's budget laptop with the same amount of storage.
Aside from the speedier processor, more base storage, and new wireless chip, it's worth noting that the M5 Air is pretty dang similar to the M4 Air. So if you're already rocking an M4 or even an M3 model, it's not an essential upgrade. For those with older MacBooks or just joining the Apple world, however, this is the MacBook to get.
5 new movies to watch this week across Netflix, Prime Video, and more (May 25-31)

3 key takeaways from Pope Leos 42,000-word AI encyclical
Pope Leo XIV has issued his first official piece of religious guidance to billions of Catholics. And it's all about AI.
It came in the form of a 42,300-word papal encyclical titled "Magnifica Humanitas" ("Magnificent Humanity"). Encyclicals aren't papal law, exactly, but act as authoritative guidance on social and moral issues for members of the Catholic Church. This one, the first since Leo was chosen, came with even more pomp and circumstance than usual, with the leader himself attending its presentation alongside Anthropic founder Chris Olah.
Mashable 101 Fan Fave: Vote for your favorite creator today!
SEE ALSO: AI's new cottage industry: Lawyers defending students accused of cheatingThe Pope has spoken previously about regulating AI, imploring industry leaders to more carefully consider the ethical implications of AI in their work. Last May, when explaining why he chose the name Leo, the pope specifically cited AI as one of his primary reasons.
"There are different reasons for this, but mainly because Pope Leo XIII in his historic Encyclical Rerum Novarum addressed the social question in the context of the first great industrial revolution. In our own day, the Church offers to everyone the treasury of her social teaching in response to another industrial revolution and to developments in the field of artificial intelligence that pose new challenges for the defence of human dignity, justice and labour."
The encyclical goes further, diving into AI's impact on jobs, education, and child safety in a message to leaders around the world.
"We need moral voices that the incentives cannot bend," Olah said. "Today is just the beginning — the start of a long collaboration between those of us who are building this and those who can see what we, from the inside, cannot."
Here are the main takeaways from the Holy See:
AI is a threat to workersThe Catholic Church is worried about AI taking over jobs, too. Tying "Magnifica Humanitas" to other labor-related encyclicals throughout the Church's history, Pope Leo calls the automation of jobs a threat to workers, citing widespread deskilling and greater labor surveillance with AI systems in place.
"Today, the convergence of automation, robotics and AI is rapidly transforming the very structure of work. It is said that this will bring great improvements for everyone. In reality, however, the 'new ways' of working are not necessarily better."
Don't believe the AI hypeThe leader warned that current AI hype is akin to a modern Tower of Babel, comparing the pursuit of advanced technology to the biblical story of a group of humans trying to reach heaven. He called on leaders to temper their ambition and recenter humanity.
He also joined a growing number of child safety advocates and regulators who want to address screen time and its effect on children: "Psychological and psychiatric literature has documented with growing insistence how early and unsupervised exposure to digital devices and social media can negatively impact sleep, attention span, control of emotions and relationships, especially during the most vulnerable stages of life, at times with tragic consequences."
In addition, Leo called out AI's role in exacerbating misinformation and devaluing critical thinking, especially in schools, saying the technology has a dehumanizing force in the classroom.
Big Tech has created a "new form of slavery"While simultaneously issuing the first formal condemnation of the transatlantic slave trade, Pope Leo called exploitative tech manufacturing processes and global AI training a "new form of slavery."
"In some regions of the world, children and adolescents work in dangerous conditions, crushing the materials from which rare earth elements are extracted...The bodies of these people are scarred, injured and worn down so that computational flow may continue uninterruptedly," he said. "This reality deeply challenges the moral conscience of our time."
The Pope also connected the rise of artificial intelligence to ongoing global warfare, calling out private incentives and warning against entrusting AI systems with "lethal decisions." He called for placing "the most rigorous ethical constraints" on weapons developed using AI.
"A subtle temptation may emerge, namely the thought that the problems are too big and we are too small, and that our choices, therefore, cannot make a difference," the Pope wrote. "Certainly, not everyone has the same power to make a difference. Yet, no one is without responsibility. We all have our own areas for action."

I stopped using Raspberry Pis for my homelab, and you should too

Megalodon cyberattack infects 5,500 GitHub open-source repositories with malware, researchers say
A new report in Security Week warns about a cyberattack that infected 5,561 GitHub open-source repositories with malware.
Cybersecurity researchers at SafeDep detailed how the May 18 supply chain attack, dubbed Megalodon, took advantage of GitHub Actions workflows to ultimately harvest user credentials and other data. A full list of the compromised GitHub repositories is available in the SafeDep security report.
The report also details how the hackers pulled off the attack:
On May 18, 2026, an automated campaign codenamed megalodon pushed 5,718 malicious commits to 5,561 GitHub repositories in a six-hour window. Using throwaway accounts and forged author identities (build-bot, auto-ci, ci-bot, pipeline-bot), the attacker injected GitHub Actions workflows containing base64-encoded bash payloads that exfiltrate CI secrets, cloud credentials, SSH keys, OIDC tokens, and source code secrets to a C2 server at 216.126.225.129:8443.
A blog post at StepSecurity also documented the details of the attack.
"Megalodon is a textbook direct Poisoned Pipeline Execution (d-PPE) attack, a class of CI/CD attack where an adversary with write access to a repository injects malicious code directly into workflow definition files, causing the CI system to execute attacker-controlled commands on the next pipeline run," the blog post reads. (Emphasis in original.)
SafeDep researchers warned GitHub users affected by the attack to revert their repositories and audit all workflow files.
On May 20, GitHub published a blog post about unauthorized access to GitHub-owned repositories via a compromised employee device, but the company hasn't said anything about the alleged Megalodon attack.
However, on April 1, the company published a blog post detailing a new trend of cyberattacks on the open-source supply chain, which often begin by compromising GitHub Actions workflows, as in the Megalodon attack. The blog post includes tips for open-source projects on how "to secure your GitHub Actions workflows" to prevent exactly these types of attacks in the future.
