Amazon's Big Spring Sale is almost over, but the retailer is still sneaking in a few record-low markdowns. Right now, you can grab the EF EcoFlow River 3 Plus for just $239.20, down from $299 (the lowest we've ever seen it). Since this is an active Lightning Deal, you'll need to move fast before it's gone — once it's fully claimed, the price goes right back up.

Pro tip: If you're stocking up on EcoFlow gear today, Amazon is also running a promo where you get a free item if you spend over $600 on qualifying products.

Mashable's power station expert, Lauren Allain, says the EcoFlow River 3 Plus is the best portable power station for camping. Because it weighs just over 10 pounds and features a built-in handle, you won't throw your back out hauling it to your tent. Spec-wise, you're looking at a 286Wh battery with three standard AC outlets. It delivers a steady 600W but can surge to 1200W for more demanding appliances.

It's also super practical for everyday home use. You can fully recharge it from a standard wall outlet in just an hour. Plus, it runs at a whisper-quiet 30 decibels and works as an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) — meaning it'll keep your WiFi router or desktop alive if the grid suddenly goes down.

The number of notifications we get on our phones every day seems to be constantly increasing, yet the tools Android gives us to manage them are still not up to the job. But now I'm using a new app that tells me exactly who is messaging without me even needing to pick up my phone.

The Paradise Season 2 finale was so chock-full of quantum computing talk and nuclear meltdown panic that you might have missed a key detail about one major character: Jane Driscoll (Nicole Brydon Bloom) may still be alive.

The last viewers saw of Jane, she was attempting to assassinate Dr. Torabi (Sarah Shahi) while she was in the shower. However, Dr. Torabi pulled a reverse Uno on Jane's Psycho plan with an ambush of her own, stabbing the rogue Secret Service agent. The fight ended with Jane bleeding out on the bathroom floor.

But is that really how a killer as relentless as Jane would go out on Paradise? The show's Season 2 finale, "Exodus," suggests not.

Towards the end of the action-packed episode, after the bunker's inhabitants evacuate due to an impending nuclear meltdown, Paradise shows scenes from the now-deserted bunker. Among them is a shot of Dr. Torabi's shower, which is now totally empty. That can only mean one thing: Jane somehow managed to leave Dr. Torabi's house. Knowing her, she probably even made it out of the bunker before it blew up, meaning she's loose and, let's face it, likely after the woman who stabbed her.

Jane being alive isn't that big a twist for Paradise. No one in this show seems to stay dead. Even dead characters return for flashbacks, and with the possibility of time travel on the horizon, maybe a resurrection or two is in the show's future. (Justice for Shailene Woodley's Annie!)

Plus, there are a few Jane-related loose ends Paradise needs to wrap up. In a flashback in Season 2, episode 6, a Circuit City employee named Don (Francois Battiste) gets a message that a killer will be born, and that she can be stopped if she hears the right message. That killer is Jane. Although we never actually hear what the all-important message is, we do know it was sent by a user named AlexQ, who is probably the very same Alex as Sinatra's (Julianne Nicholson) AI-powered quantum computer. Why did Alex send this message from the future, and what is the exact message that will stop Jane? That's for Paradise creator Dan Fogelman to know, and Season 3 to answer.

Paradise Season 2 is now streaming on Hulu.

Paradise Season 2 ends not with a bang, but with a full-on nuclear meltdown that blows up the Paradise bunker. But even then, that's somehow not the most explosive part of the episode.

Instead, the biggest revelations of the finale, titled "Exodus," are all centered around Alex, the side project Samantha "Sinatra" Redmond (Julianne Nicholson) has been working on all season long. While you may have been able to guess at Alex's true nature thanks to some clues sprinkled throughout Paradise Season 2, we now have official answers to our most pressing Alex questions (as well as several more questions Season 3 needs to answer). Let's break it down.

Paradise's Alex is a quantum computer. Julianne Nicholson in "Paradise." Credit: Disney / Ser Baffo

Back in Season 2, episode 3, Paradise introduced Professor Henry Miller (Patrick Fischler), the head of Vestige Quantum. Working with his genius protégé Dylan (Thomas Doherty), also known as Link, he created a technology that Sinatra literally killed for. Now, in "Exodus," we learn exactly what that technology is. It's an AI-controlled quantum computer. The AI is named "Alex" in honor of Henry's wife (Gwen Holloway).

Paradise uses a lot of quantum computing buzzwords like "all-to-all platform," "neutral atoms," and "optical tweezers" to describe why Dylan's early prototype of what will become Alex is impressive. Sort through all that quantum noise and you'll learn what you really need to know, which is that Alex can predict any future problems within microseconds.

SEE ALSO: 'Something Very Bad Is Going to Happen' review: Marriage is a killer

That speed draws the attention of Sinatra, who wants to use Alex to solve the climate crisis. However, Henry has misgivings about the technology the more he works on it. As Alex grows more advanced, it begins to try to manipulate time, resulting in strange anomalies. For example, it's answering complex equations that no one has asked it to solve yet. (Yes, that means all your Paradise time travel theories are officially taking off.)

Henry's hesitation to keep working on Alex is what winds up getting him killed. Plus, the dangers of the machine's time manipulation explain why Dylan wants to "kill Alex" in the first place. However, in Sinatra's hands, Alex has grown more advanced than ever.

Where is Alex now in Paradise? Julianne Nicholson and Simon Templeman in "Paradise." Credit: Disney / Ser Baffo

Alex is now located in — gasp! — a second bunker, hidden under the Denver airport. It's under the supervision of Dr. Chase (Simon Templeman), a mysterious new figure introduced in "Exodus."

When Sinatra pays Alex and Dr. Chase a quick visit (apparently those trams from the main bunker can cover 100 miles with no problem), he informs her that Alex hasn't been activated, yet she's somehow communicating with them. Alex has been accurately predicting weather events, earthquakes, and even Sinatra's arrival. The machine has also printed a series of numbers, the first of which are two sets of coordinates: One points you to a mountain in Colorado, while the other points you to the Denver airport. Given that they're roughly 100 miles apart, these are the coordinates of the bunkers.

SEE ALSO: 'Paradise' Season 2: What is the message for Jane?

Above the numbers is a message that Alex is awaiting a user cryptically named X. Given that that's Xavier Collins' (Sterling K. Brown) nickname, Sinatra realizes that he is user X, and that he is meant to activate Alex. That tees up the biggest storyline for Paradise Season 3: Xavier's journey to Denver. However, there are still several important pieces in play in "Exodus."

Yes, Link is Sinatra's son Dylan. No, we don't know how it's possible. Thomas Doherty in "Paradise." Credit: Disney / Ser Baffo

Paradise Season 2, episode 7 reveals that the character we've known primarily by the codename Link is actually named Dylan, just like Sinatra's late son. He also has the same birthday. Coincidence, or quantum miracle?

Paradise opts for the latter, with Sinatra convinced that Dylan truly is her son. "I can't explain it, and it doesn't make sense, but somehow, I'm certain," she tells Dr. Chase. That's honestly how I feel talking about this twist!

SEE ALSO: Is Jane still alive in 'Paradise' Season 2?

Dylan still being alive is one of the "anomalies" created by Alex's time manipulation. That's all the clarification we get on that end, but hopefully Season 3 will give us more answers on that front.

Season 3 also needs to give us more answers about all the strange anomalies that have been causing nosebleeds throughout the season. The biggest example? Whatever is going on with Xavier's premonitions of him and Dylan walking through an unknown hallway. The pair finally link up in "Exodus," but we don't get payoff on the vision just yet. Whatever mission they're on will come somewhere down the line, perhaps when they're under the Denver airport.

Another loose end? The message that so urgently needs to be delivered to Jane (Nicole Brydon Bloom), whom Paradise implies is very much alive after her run-in with Dr. Torabi's (Sarah Shahi) machete.

What will happen when Xavier activates Alex in Paradise? Sterling K. Brown in "Paradise." Credit: Disney / Gilles Mingasson

By the end of "Exodus," Paradise has literally blown itself up. The bunker is gone, Sinatra along with it, and Xavier has the daunting task of activating Alex and saving the world. (In another moment of headache-inducing time-loop shenanigans, Sinatra says she believes he's already done so.)

Don’t miss out on our latest stories: Add Mashable as a trusted news source in Google.

So what exactly will happen when Alex finishes her calculations and gets activated? Will she find a solution to the world's next crisis, in which trapped greenhouse gases from the super-volcanic eruption will heat Earth to an unbearable extreme? Or will she go full time travel mode and give Xavier the power to stop the entire apocalypse before it even begins?

Based on Sinatra's assertion that the quantum computer "can stop all of this. In fact, it already has stopped all of this," I'm going to guess the latter. In a bonkers move, Paradise could reset its entire timeline to the point that the show doesn't even come to pass. Maybe the apocalypse is successfully avoided, and characters like Cal Bradford (James Marsden) and Annie Clay (Shailene Woodley) never perish.

It would be a big swing, but when has Paradise ever gone small? This is a show that opened with an underground bunker reveal and only got wilder from there, and I trust Season 3 will be no different. Until then, I'll be blasting dramatic Phil Collins covers and trying to learn more about quantum computing in order to prepare.

Paradise Season 2 is now streaming on Hulu.

AI-assisted app development, or vibe coding, is creating a bottleneck for Apple's App Store review process, with some developers reporting wait times stretching to weeks, Business Insider reports.

The number of new iOS apps released in the US grew nearly 55 percent year-over-year in January, following a 56 percent spike in December — the highest growth rate in four years, according to data from marketing intelligence firm Sensor Tower, according to Business Insider. The surge follows the mainstream rise of agentic coding tools in 2025, which have made it possible for just about anyone to build and ship an app.

SEE ALSO: Google opens the door to OpenClaw and other AI agents with new release

One vibe coder told Business Insider he's been waiting about 6 weeks to get his app approved, with update reviews taking anywhere from 2 days to a week. Others on the iOS programming subreddit have echoed the frustration, with some worried Apple could tighten its review standards to filter out low-quality AI-generated apps.

Apple pushed back on the characterization, telling Business Insider that 90 percent of submissions are still reviewed within 48 hours and that it has processed more than 200,000 submissions per week over the last three months, with an average review time of 1.5 days.

But analysts say Apple will need a longer-term fix. One market research analyst told Business Insider that their company will eventually have to move away from case-by-case gatekeeping toward something more like curation at scale.

As Mashable's tech editor, it's my job to test the latest and greatest products from brands like Apple, Samsung, and DJI. But I also get to test cool under-the-radar finds and random gadgets that only true tech nerds know about. For the Amazon Big Spring Sale, I hand-picked a fresh batch of tech deals that are actually worth shopping. I've also included some deals from competing retailers — if they have a better price.

Between inflation, a global memory shortage, and overall economic anxiety (trust me — I'm feeling it, too!), you don't want to miss a chance to save some money.

I've personally tested many of these products, and I'm only recommending products with genuine discounts, because we all know big retailers like to play fast and loose with the definition of the word "deal."

Finally, a word of warning — Apple deals are moving fast. We've already seen the M3 iPad Air, AirTags, AirPods, and select MacBooks go out of stock.

Kindles starting at $94.99

I don't know what I'd do without my Kindle. As an avid book collector, I have literally run out of space to store books, and so I depend on my Kindle Paperwhite. And just like during Black Friday, you can grab my beloved Kindle on sale for $134.99, with the base Kindle available for under $100.

Grab Sony Headphones on sale

During the Big Spring Sale, you can shop wireless Sony headphones starting at just $48. On day six of the savings event, Sony's flagship cans, the famous XM6 headphones, are also discounted to $398, their best-ever price. I loved these headphones, and as I wrote in my review, "The ANC in the XM6 is as good as or better than any I've ever heard."

However, if you're looking for something in the mid-range, you can also grab the bass-heavy Sony ULT Wear Headphones on sale for $148, another Mashable Choice winner, at a 41% discount or the Sony WH-CH720N, Mashable's favorite Sony headphones under $100.

Yes, technically, DJI drones are banned in the United States, but they're still widely available from third-party sellers at Amazon. (It's complicated.) If you're a creator, real estate professional, or wedding photographer who wants to take beautiful aerial videos in 4K — or just an aspiring pilot looking to have some fun outdoors — these drones are by far the most popular choice.

Amazon Echo device deals

As per usual, some of the best deals of the spring Amazon sale are on Amazon's own products, particularly in the Echo lineup. I was at the fall 2025 event where Amazon unveiled its new Echo smart home products, which include refreshes to the popular Echo Dot and Echo Show devices. You can also grab Fire TV Sticks starting at just $17.99, letting you stream movies and enjoy cloud gaming at home.

We've been waiting for this one: Our favorite Bose headphones are finally discounted for the Amazon Spring sale. The Bose QuietComfort Ultra (Gen 2), the brand's current flagship, are supremely comfortable. In fact, our reviewer called them the most comfortable headphones in the world, full stop.

Unfortunately, I'm still waiting for good deals on my favorite TV: The Frame art TV from Samsung. Strangely, The Frame is more expensive during the big Amazon sale.

As of day six, the cult-favorite DJI Osmo Pocket 3 Vlogging camera, which experienced a rare markdown earlier in this sale, is back up to full price. I'm keeping my eyes out for any last-minute price drops, however. Pro creators and YouTubers are obsessed with this camera (in my review, I wrote, "it should replace whatever vlogging camera you're using now"), so grab it before it goes out of stock again!

If you dread every wind, rain, ice, or snow storm for fear of it knocking out power, you have a few options. The traditional solution involved buying a generator and firing it up during an outage. But we have a new solution and one that uses solar for recharging and can be used inside: a portable power station.

SEE ALSO: I've tested portable power stations for years — here's what I'd actually buy in Amazon's Big Spring Sale

The Jackery HomePower 3000, like the name suggests, is great for home backup during a storm. You'll be able to keep the refrigerator cooling, the coffee maker brewing, and WiFi router broadcasting (assuming the Internet is still available).

In total, the Jackery HomePower 3000 has 3,072Wh of battery capacity. In real-world terms, Jackery says that'll keep a refrigerator on for up to two days or a rice cooker on for six hours. Plus, it recharges in under two hours.

Since we've never seen the Jackery HomePower 3000 for this low at Amazon, it's worth snagging today's deal from Wellbots. You'll be saving a giant $1,600 on the powerful battery station to keep your home charged up during the next outage.

The 2026 SUV market is packed with comfy, tech-loaded options, but most of the truly plush stuff comes with price tags that make your wallet flinch. That includes Jaguar’s F-Pace, which starts around $57,000 before you even think about upgrading the engine.

Amazon's Big Spring Sale is droning on through March 31, with new price drops to come in just about every category you could think of. Yes, drones are on sale.

For those who hear "warmer weather" and "flying" and picture the perfect drone day instead of a vacation, Amazon's spring sale would be a smart time to expand your hanger with a nice new model from DJI or Holy Stone. We've scoured pages of drones on sale and have lined up the best Amazon drone deals below:

Despite the recent ban on DJI imports, you can still safely buy existing stock in the U.S. — and you probably should while it's actively discounted.

If you've been holding out for a DJI drone deal, this bundle just hit its lowest price in 90 days. The DJI Neo is a ridiculously beginner-friendly 4K mini drone that weighs just 135 grams, meaning you go from box to sky without worrying about registering it with the FAA. It features automatic subject tracking, takes off and lands right from the palm of your hand without a remote, and comes with full-coverage propeller guards for extra peace of mind.

Bonus: It includes three batteries and a charging hub, bumping your total flight time up to a very solid 54 minutes before you have to go hunting for a wall outlet.

If you want to learn how to fly without the constant fear of immediately destroying an expensive piece of tech, the Holy Stone HS110D is our favorite budget pick. It has a 1080p HD camera with a 120-degree wide-angle lens, but more importantly, it's incredibly forgiving for first-time pilots. Built-in safety nets like altitude hold and headless mode keep things stable while you figure out the controls, and the companion app unlocks extra features like voice control and trajectory flight.

The Antigravity A1 is a recently-launched flier that’s been hailed as the world’s first 360° consumer camera drone.  You fly it using a pair of lightweight Vision googles and a one-handed grip control, but this drone also has a 360° camera that films all around itself — which you can view in-flight by turning your head in the goggles. Not only that, it captures footage in stunning 8K. And this particular option comes with a bundle with the goggles, controller, three batteries, a carry case, and more. 

It stands to reason that this premium drone costs a premium price, which is why a $400 discount is not to be missed. We know what we’re talking about here. Mashable’s reviewer had a great time testing out this drone.

Most of the year's major flagship TVs announced in January hit the shelves by the end of March, which cues retailers to push deep discounts on last year's models. Amazon's Big Spring Sale (which officially ends tomorrow, March 31) is proving that this annual price drop cycle is very real.

It's not just Amazon's in-house Fire TVs that see big discounts during the Big Spring Sale (Amazon Fire TVs are hardly the best TVs you can get for the money right now). I've been tracking new TV releases and comparing TV specs at Mashable for years, and I consistently find that the most worthwhile Amazon TV deals are from solid budget brands like TCL and Hisense, with a few sizes of Samsung's The Frame occasionally thrown in.

Pro tip: Best Buy tends to have way more options for deals on flagship Samsung and LG TVs. For instance, Samsung just released its 2026 Neo QLED TVs on March 24 — Best Buy's stock of on-sale 2025 versions of those TVs, like the QN70F and QN80F, has been much more stable than Amazon's this week. Amazon barely has any recent LG TVs in stock at all, while Best Buy has countless 2024 and 2025 QNED and OLED models on sale.

I'll be updating this list with the best Amazon TV deals until the sale officially wraps up. Every model featured here is at, or lower than, its previous best price based on data from camelcamelcamel, so these are genuinely competitive offers. I'm keeping a special eye out for fresh discounts across the models I've picked as the best 65-inch TVs you can buy so far this year.

Best Big Spring Sale TV deal Hisense 75-inch U7 QLED 4K TV $897.96 at Amazon
$1,297.99 Save $400.03   Get Deal at Amazon Why we like it

One TV that's actually beating its previous record-low sale price is the 2025 75-inch Hisense U7. Currently 31% off, it's $103 cheaper than it was just a month ago during Presidents' Day sales.

The 2026 version of the same TV was just unveiled on March 6, so a new price drop on the predecessor model certainly tracks. The 2026 75-inch U7 will cost $1,999.99 — more than $1,000 steeper than the 2025 model's $897.96 sale price. Those are the kind of steals I was talking about. The 65-inch model is also at a new record-low $697.96 if 75 inches is a bit larger than you'd like.

This mini LED model packs a serious punch for the price. Its brightness in SDR and HDR gets consistently great notes across the internet, with glare handling strong enough for most sunlit rooms. You don't always see a 165 Hz refresh rate in budget to mid-range TVs, so the Hisense U7 is a top contender for an XL gaming TV under $1,000.

There are many 3D printer brands out there to choose from, and, in 2026, it’s fairly hard to make the wrong choice. I picked Bambu Lab as my 3D printer, and I am so happy I went that route, even though I was initially very skeptical of the brand. Here’s why I love my Bambu Lab 3D printer, and how I think it completely changed how I see the 3D printing hobby as a whole.

A chocolate heist is captivating the internet this week after a transport truck carrying 12 tons of KitKat products was reportedly stolen.

SEE ALSO: J.K. Rowling controversy explained

The KitKat bandits intercepted the delivery vehicle mid-route, carrying 413,793 units of a "new" KitKat product from Central Italy to Poland, CBS reports.

Parent company Nestlé told CBS News that the truck is still unaccounted for, and warned that the loss could "threaten" supply chains across Europe. In a follow-up statement on KitKat brand social media accounts, however, it was clarified that there is no threat to supply or public safety.

The internet, of course, is having a field day.

"We've always encouraged people to have a break with KitKat, but it seems thieves have taken the message too literally and made a break with more than 12 tons of our chocolate," a Nestle spokesperson told AFP.

Looking at my calendar, I can't help but think there may be Soderbergh-esque third act reveal in this viral tale. Surely, Nestle hasn't roped us into a week-long April Fools' Day joke, all with the plan of releasing a new flavor of KitKat after continued global boycotts of Nestlé products?

Most importantly, it's cheap, and it works with any graphics card. But despite all those positives, it's not quite a full-on replacement for vendor-specific software, and it can run into various problems.

Most of the time, it’s simple: the higher the number on the tailgate, the bigger the SUV. But with Infiniti’s revised and redesigned lineup for 2026 and 2027, that logic has a bit of a curveball. If you’re looking at the 2026 QX60 and the 2027 QX65, you’re looking at mechanical twins. They share the same 268-horsepower VC-Turbo engine, the same nine-speed automatic transmission, and the same 6,000-lb. max towing capacity.

Bluesky has created another app, Attie, that uses AI to build custom feeds.

The Bluesky team announced Attie at the Atmosphere conference over the weekend, TechCrunch reported. The conference is about the AT protocol, which is the underlying protocol Bluesky is built on, according to TechCrunch, and the conference attendees will be the initial beta testers.

SEE ALSO: Bluesky finally has drafts

Attie already has a Bluesky account, naturally, where it posted on Saturday that it's currently in an invite-only closed beta (much like how Bluesky was when it launched).

1/ Today, we’re excited to introduce Attie, currently as an invite-only closed beta. Attie is the first agentic social app on atproto. It’s something completely new—an experiment in making building on the protocol more accessible.

— Attie (@attie.ai) March 28, 2026 at 6:48 PM

"Attie is the first agentic social app on atproto [the AT protocol]," the post reads. "It's something completely new — an experiment in making building on the protocol more accessible."

The Attie presentation comes shortly after Bluesky CEO Jay Graber announced she's stepping down from her position. Graber will now be chief innovation officer, and she was part of the Attie announcement along with CTO Paul Frazee, TechCrunch reported.

Graber also posted a blog about Attie on Saturday, in which she wrote, "The proliferation of low-quality AI-generated content is making public social networks noisier and less trustworthy at a time when we need accurate information more than ever," yet major platforms aren't trying to fix the problem.

Graber continued that she and the Bluesky team believe AI should "serve people, not platforms," and that an open protocol "puts this power directly in users' hands." It's increasingly possible to personalize software without being able to code, she wrote, thanks to agentic coding tools.

"You can use it to build your own feeds, create software that works the way you want it to, and find signal in the noise," she wrote.

Attie users will apparently be able to describe what posts they want to see, and the coding agent will build the feed they describe. The experience will be "more like having a conversation than configuring software," according to Graber.

On the Attie website, examples of prompts include "poetry, long-form fiction craft, and writing process from people I follow" and "Show me electronic music and experimental sound from people in my network."

Those without an invite code can sign up for Attie's waitlist on the website.

For decades, if you wanted to do heavy data lifting in Excel, your options were nested formulas, VBA macros, or a trip into the Power Query Editor. But with Python now accessible directly from Excel cells, there's a fourth way. It lets you perform complex data cleaning, sentiment analysis, and more—all without leaving the formula bar.
