If you find yourself reliably scrambling for travel-size containers the night before a trip, investing in a dedicated set can help ease pre-travel stress.

That's one of the appeals of the Instagram-viral Cadence capsules, which are most recognizable as the magnetic little hexagons with the interchangeable lids for labeling your toiletries. With wide mouths for easy filling and capacities within TSA regulations, they're designed to be simple to use and to take anywhere. They're also the source of many cases of sticker shock — but as of June 29, you can grab the seven-piece Capsule daily routine set for $103, saving you 25% on the usually $138 set.

Yes, that's still a good deal more expensive than grabbing a set of a few plastic bottles at CVS. The idea behind the capsule set, though, is that you're much more likely to hang on to them than those plastic CVS bottles, due to how easy they are to fill, keep track of, and use until the very last drop. It's an upfront investment — not unlike a pair of sleep earbuds — but one that frequent travels would be likely to appreciate.

This specific set includes three small containers at 0.56 ounces, and four medium containers at 1.32 ounces. On Cadence's website, one small capsule runs for $15, while one medium capsule runs for $24. That would but the individual price of buying at $45 for three small capsules, and $96 for four medium capsules (aka, nearly the cost of this entire set), putting the total price of buying this set piecemeal at $141. At Amazon, you have your choice of five difference colorways, including eucalyptus, charcoal, pacific (blue), petal (light pink), and sand.

Samsung’s long and slow transition to Google Messages is finally coming to an end. On July 6—exactly one week from today—the Samsung Messages app on Galaxy phones will officially be discontinued. It’s time to make the switch.

Tonight is the Full Moon, which as we all know, means the Moon shining at its fullest in the sky. This marks the peak of the lunar cycle before it gradually begins to wane again and head towards the New Moon.

What is today’s Moon phase?

As of Monday, June 29, the Moon phase is Full Moon. Tonight, 99% of the moon will be be lit up, according to NASA's Daily Moon Guide.

You don't need any visual aids tonight to see features on the Moon's surface. In fact, without anything you'll see the Mare Fecunditatis, Mare Crisium, and the Kepler Crater. With binoculars you'll also be able to catch a glimpse of the Clavius Crater, Alps Mountains, and the Apennine Mountains. For keen astronomy fans with a telescope, you'll also be able to spot the Apollo 12 and 16 landing spots, as well as the Rima Hyginus.

When is the next Full Moon?

The next Full Moon will take place on June 29.

What are Moon phases?

NASA explains that the Moon takes roughly 29.5 days to circle Earth once, passing through eight distinct phases during that time. Even though we always see the same side of the Moon, the portion illuminated by the Sun shifts as it moves in its orbit. This changing angle of sunlight is what makes the Moon look different throughout the month, from thin crescents to half-lit shapes and eventually a fully illuminated Full Moon. The continual progression through these stages is called the lunar cycle.

New Moon - The Moon is between Earth and the sun, so the side we see is dark (in other words, it's invisible to the eye).

Waxing Crescent - A small sliver of light appears on the right side (Northern Hemisphere).

First Quarter - Half of the Moon is lit on the right side. It looks like a half-Moon.

Waxing Gibbous - More than half is lit up, but it’s not quite full yet.

Full Moon - The whole face of the Moon is illuminated and fully visible.

Waning Gibbous - The Moon starts losing light on the right side. (Northern Hemisphere)

Third Quarter (or Last Quarter) - Another half-Moon, but now the left side is lit.

Waning Crescent - A thin sliver of light remains on the left side before going dark again.

It's almost the Full Moon, and in June it's called the Strawberry Moon. Like many of the Moon's names, this doesn't have anything to do with the visuals of the Moon (kind of like how last month's moon wasn't actually blue), but more to do with the seasonal and cultural traditions associated with June.

When is the June full moon?

The Full Moon will occur on Monday, June 29. Time and Date estimates it will peak at 7:56 p.m. ET.

What is the June full moon called?

The June Full Moon is known as the Strawberry Moon.

According to NASA, this name originated with the Algonquin tribes of the northeastern United States. It marked the time in June when strawberries were ripe and ready to harvest.

So, it's no surprise it ties in with peak strawberry season, when the fruit is at its best and you start seeing punnets everywhere. Another little reminder that summer is finally kicking in.

When is the next full moon?

The next Full Moon will take place on July 29.

What are the lunar phases?

The Moon completes a full cycle of eight phases as it orbits Earth in about 29 and a half days. As it moves around our planet, sunlight falls on different parts of it from our point of view, even though we always see the same side. This changing angle of light makes the illuminated portion appear to grow and shrink, moving from full brightness to a thin glow and back again. The phases are:

• New Moon — The moon is between Earth and the sun, so the side we see is dark (so, we don't see anything).

• Waxing Crescent — A small sliver of light appears on the right side

• First Quarter — Half of the moon is lit on the right side. It looks like a half-moon.

• Waxing Gibbous — More than half is lit up, but it’s not quite full yet.

• Full Moon — The whole face of the moon is illuminated and fully visible.

• Waning Gibbous — The moon starts losing light on the right side

• Third Quarter (or Last Quarter) — Another half-moon, but now the left side is lit.

• Waning Crescent — A thin sliver of light remains on the left side before going dark again.

SAVE $294: As of June 29, the Samsung 49-inch Odyssey G93SC OLED curved gaming monitor is on sale at Amazon for just $854.99 instead of its list price of $1,149. That's 26% in savings.

If you've been wanting to upgrade to a premium gaming setup, now's a good time to make the jump, as the Samsung 49-inch Odyssey OLED G9 monitor is the cheapest it's ever been.

As of June 29, the Samsung 49-inch Odyssey G93SC OLED curved gaming monitor is on sale at Amazon for $854.99. That's 26% or $294 off its recent list price of $1,149 (originally $1,599) and its lowest price on record. Most ultra-wide OLED curved gaming monitors of this size clock in at over $1,000, so while this still seems expensive, $854.99 is actually a pretty sweet deal.

Beyond a massive amount of screen real estate at 49 inches, the Odyssey G93SC also features a steep 1800R curve, which completely envelops you as a gamer. It is worth noting that its 32:9 aspect ratio isn't compatible with every game, so you may want to double check that your favorites will work on this display before pulling the trigger. As you can imagine, it also takes up quite a bit of desktop space and takes some getting used to. Still, many Redditors have boasted that once they jumped on board the OLED ultrawide train, they've never gone back.

The G93SC packs a 240Hz refresh rate, 0.03ms response time, DisplayHDR True Black 400, and G-Sync and FreeSync Premium Pro compatibility. There's also plenty of ports on board for connectivity, including HDMI 2.1, DisplayPort, and USB Hub.

If you're ready to invest in some unforgettable gaming experiences, the Samsung Odyssey OLED G93SC is definitely a fantastic first step. And if you add it to your cart ASAP, you'll save nearly $300.

The 2026 FIFA World Cup has entered the knockout stage. Canada are already through to the next round after scoring a late winner against South Africa, and there's more to come through the week.

Next up, Brazil are facing Japan in a match that has all the makings of a classic. Brazil can beat any team on their best day — though we still haven't seen them hit top form in this tournament. Japan have performed brilliantly in some of their group games and come into this clash unbeaten.

If you want to watch Brazil vs. Japan in the 2026 FIFA World Cup from anywhere in the world, we have all the information you need.

The best VPNs for streaming are not free, but most do offer free-trials or money-back guarantees. By leveraging these offers, you can access free live streams of the 2026 World Cup without actually spending anything. This obviously isn't a long-term solution, but it does give you enough time to stream Brazil vs. Japan (plus more World Cup fixtures) before recovering your investment.

ExpressVPN's regular 30-day money-back guarantee is not available for any subscriptions purchased during the FIFA World Cup between June 10 and July 11. ExpressVPN remains our top pick for sport, but you will need to pay the monthly rate. Alternatively, Proton VPN still offers that all-important money-back guarantee.

I didn't realize Android Auto replaced Google Assistant with Gemini until I tried to make a phone call. What should have been a simple experience made me switch back to Google Assistant. It wasn't exactly horrible, but something hilarious and kind of weird happened the first time I tried calling a contact.

If you're dying to get your hands on Naomi Osaka's custom Wimbledon dress, I have some good news and some bad news. The good news is that Nike has finally released it to the public, and for a brief, shining moment this morning, it was in stock. The bad news? By the time I sat down to write this, almost every size was sold out (right now, you can only get it in an extra small).

The dress, which Nike is charging $185 for, features seven little 3-D flowers as a nod to Kirigami (a timeless Japanese art form). It looks delicate, but it's built for actual tennis — the fabric is stretchy and sweat-wicking, and the floral details are "carefully placed" specifically so they "don't interfere with her play."

Even Osaka herself was shocked by how fast the dress flew off the virtual shelves. "You guys selling out my Wimby dress before I even had the opportunity to wear it on court is really gagging me," she posted to Threads. "Okay fashionistas, I see you! (I got you for the walk on though)."

Osaka has been having a solid run leading up to the major, too. She just beat Elise Mertens in straight sets to reach the quarterfinals at the Bad Homburg Open. With Wimbledon officially kicking off today, we're going to see her wear this exact look on the grass courts very soon.

If you happen to wear an extra small, run over to Nike's site right now. For the rest of us, it's either wait and hope for another random restock, or bite the bullet and check resale sites like eBay (just prepare yourself for a markup).

As summer gets underway with its suffocating heat patterns, there’s no better time to sit in the air conditioning and indulge in movies with a casual, crowd-pleasing atmosphere full of adventurous escapist vibes, summer romance, and decade-specific nostalgia.

2021 doesn't seem like that long ago, but in the world of computer technology it might as well have been a century. If you bought your storage back then, the prevailing advice was to get something between 500GB and 1TB, and that SATA was still perfectly fine, with most apps and games seeing no real benefit from the faster (but much more expensive) NVMe drives.

Throughout his career, director Robert Eggers has put his spin on countless creatures from myth and legend: witches in The VVitch, vampires in Nosferatu, and even mermaids in The Lighthouse. In his next project, Werwulf, he moves on to yet another famed folkloric being: werewolves.

Written by Eggers and Sjón, who co-wrote The Northman, the film takes place in 13th-century England and stars Aaron Taylor-Johnson as a farmer burdened by a terrible, beastly curse. (Spoiler alert! It's lycanthropy.) The film's first trailer offers up a glimpse at how he came by that curse. When he was young, he followed a man into a cave, and a devilish ritual ensued. Note to self: Don't follow strange men into caves, even if they're accompanied by an adorable bird like Werwulf's strange man is.

Now, the farmer is all grown up, and his curse is wreaking havoc on his village. Werwulf's trailer doesn't showcase too much of co-star Anya Taylor-Joy's transformation — what, and spoil all the fun? — but it does offer up frightening shots of writhing bodies, corpses, and blood splatters. Plus, this being an Eggers film, it's chock-full of what are sure to be historically accurate 13th-century farmhouses and naturalistic lighting. (Unfortunately for the farmer, I'm going to guess a good chunk of that lighting will be coming from the full moon.)

Werwulf also stars Eggers regulars Willem Dafoe, Lily Rose-Depp, and Ralph Ineson.

Werwulf hits theaters December 25.

TL;DR: The Samsung 27-inch Odyssey G5 gaming monitor is on sale for $149.99 at Amazon, down from its $249.99 list price.

Finding a gaming monitor for under $150 usually means cutting back on at least a couple of major features, but Amazon’s latest Samsung deal is a rare record-low exception. 

As of June 29, the Samsung 27-inch Odyssey G5 (G51F) QHD gaming monitor is on sale at Amazon for only $149.99, down from its usual $249.99 list price — now knocked down to its lowest-ever price (as confirmed with price tracker, camelcamelcamel).

That saves you $100 in total and knocks 40% off a Samsung display that covers the main things most PC and console players need: sharper resolution, fast refresh rates, and properly adjustable stand. 

For a cent under $150, the Odyssey G5 gives you a 27-inch QHD 2560x1440 display, which has 1.7 times the pixel density of Full HD. That should make the latest games — like the upcoming Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced, or the recent 007: First Light — look much cleaner and more detailed without pushing you into the much higher prices attached to 4K monitors. 

The G51F also comes with an 180Hz refresh rate and 1ms response time, giving you top-tier speed for the usual fast-paced multiplayer games, like Fortnite, Overwatch, or League of Legends.

AMD FreeSync is included to help reduce choppiness, screen lag, and image tearing when gameplay gets hectic with lots of images appearing and shifting at once, while HDR10 should add brighter highlights and more nuanced shadows.

Samsung has added a few extra gaming-focused features as well, including Black Equalizer for adjusting darker areas of the screen and Virtual Aim Point for another competitive-minded touch. Auto Source Switch+ is also included, which should make swapping between connected devices a little less annoying.

The height-adjustable stand is another useful bonus at this price, with tilt and pivot support helping you set up the screen more comfortably for longer sessions. 

If you’re a gamer who’s open to making the jump to OLED, the 49-inch Samsung OLED G9 gaming monitor is still on sale for $799.99. For those who want a slightly bigger display, the 32-inch Samsung Odyssey G5 (G50F) is on offer for $189.99 at Amazon.
