The Korean SUV that's making BMW and Audi owners question their choices

How-To Geek - Tue, 03/31/2026 - 19:30

Luxury SUVs from German brands have long defined the benchmark for premium design, technology, and prestige. But that reputation often comes with steep pricing, expensive option packages, and ownership costs that quickly add up. In today’s market, one Korean luxury SUV is challenging that formula by delivering the same sense of refinement and presence for significantly less money.

Samsung TV deals are selling out fast in Amazon Spring Sale — save up to $1,100 on top models while you can

Mashable - Tue, 03/31/2026 - 19:13
The best Spring Sale Samsung TV deals at a glance: best overall Samsung 65-inch QN90F Neo QLED 4K TV $1,399.99 (save $1,100) Get Deal best big screen TV deal Samsung 85-Inch Q7F QLED 4K TV $997.99 (save $400) Get Deal best small TV deal Samsung 43-inch Q8F QLED 4K TV $397.99 (save $150) Get Deal Best OLED Tv deal Samsung 55-inch S90F OLED 4K TV $1,097.99 (save $500) Get Deal

Samsung just released its 2026 Neo QLED TVs on March 24, which means plenty of older TV models got the deal treatment for Amazon's Big Spring Sale. Now wrapping up its final day, there are still some deals live on top models like the Q8F, S90F, and QN90F if you're in the market for a new TV.

Samsung TVs in particular have been selling out quick at Amazon, so if you see a deal you want, jump on it. If it sells out, be sure to check out Best Buy's stock. While the prices are a few bucks more at Best Buy, you might have better luck over there on models like the QN70F and QN80F.

We've rounded up the best Samsung TV deals still live in the Spring Sale below. There are an abundance of third-party deals on Amazon currently, but those aren't always trustworthy. We only included deals sold and shipped by Amazon itself.

If you're looking for other brands, check out Mashable's hub for Big Spring Sale TV deals.

Officially over $1,000 off during the Big Spring Sale, the 65-inch Samsung QN90F Neo QLED TV is finally at a palatable cost (and its lowest price on record). "Neo QLED is really just Samsung's proprietary term for QLED paired with Mini LED," as Mashable's shopping reporter Leah Stodart explains. It features a panel of quantum dots over a bunch of tiny LED bulbs, rather than a basic LED panel, which results in a stunning display with stellar color accuracy, deep black levels, and highly impressive contrast that holds up in all types of lighting conditions. Our sister site PCMag called it "visually stunning and packed with features," but it failed to secure the title of their favorite LED TV due to its steep price tag. Now only $1,399.99, it's a no-brainer to recommend. Stock is running out, so claim yours while you can.

FTC doesnt fine OkCupid for sharing millions of users personal data

Mashable - Tue, 03/31/2026 - 19:04

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) is taking action against OkCupid and Match Group Americas (both owned by Match Group, Inc.), following OkCupid's alleged sharing of user data. But the agency isn't fining the popular dating app.

The FTC alleged that OkCupid disclosed the personal information of nearly 3 million users, including their photos and locations, to an unauthorized third party, the AI company Clarifai.

SEE ALSO: Match vs. eharmony: Which dating app is worth your money?

According to the FTC's complaint, in Sept. 2014, Clarifai asked Humor Rainbow, OkCupid's former owner and current Match Group Inc. subsidiary, for large datasets of OkCupid photos. There wasn't a business relationship with Clarifai and Humor Rainbow, but the OkCupid founders were financial investors in Clarifai.

Humor Rainbow then gave Clarifai access not just to photos, but also to users' demographic and location information.

This apparently violated OkCupid's Privacy Policy, which stated that the app wouldn't share personal information with parties not listed in the policy (service providers, business partners, or family affiliates), or it would inform users and give them a chance to opt out.

Not only that, but the FTC also claimed that OkCupid and Match extensively concealed these actions since Sept. 2014, including attempting to obstruct the FTC investigation.

"The FTC enforces the privacy promises that companies make," FTC Bureau of Consumer Protection Director Christopher Mufarrige stated in a press release. "We will investigate, and where appropriate, take action against companies that promise to safeguard your data but fail to follow through — even if that means we have to enforce our Civil Investigative Demands in court."

According to the FTC's press release, the agency has enforced its Civil Investigative Demand in federal court, and OkCupid had to hand over the information the FTC requested.

The proposed settlement, filed yesterday, states that OkCupid, Match Group Americas, and Humor Rainbow will be permanently prohibited from misrepresenting how they handle (collect, maintain, use, disclose, delete, or protect) user information, the purposes for doing so, and the functions and operations of their privacy controls. The order will remain in effect for 20 years.

A financial settlement isn't mentioned in the press release.

Best Buy’s Tech Fest is over, but these deals are still worth your cash

Amazon's Big Spring Sale is winding down, wrapping up today, March 31 at 11:59 PM PST. With the sale wrapping up, it means that all the other retailers who joined in on the savings are also wrapping up their sales.

Best Buy threw its hat in the ring with Tech Fest, which technically wrapped up before the Big Spring Sale, however the deals hung out for far longer than expected. In fact, there's still plenty that are live. In fact, we're noticing that some prices are still dropping at Best Buy, like on the Beats Studio Pro, which just dropped $20 to $179.99.

There are literally hundreds of leftover deals still floating around Best Buy's site right now, and we'll be updating this piece as we dig through more of them. But if we had to single out a discount to jump on right this second, it's this one. Scoring a 65-inch Samsung OLED for under $900 is basically unheard of outside of Black Friday. If you've been waiting for an excuse to finally upgrade your living room setup, saving over a grand on a premium display beats paying full price for whatever shiny new model drops next month.

T-Mobile closes popular $35 fee loophole when purchasing through Apple

Mashable - Tue, 03/31/2026 - 18:42

When T-Mobile customers upgrade their smartphone or add a new line, they're typically hit with a $35 Device Connection Charge (DCC).

However, there are a few loopholes. If the device a customer was buying was an iPhone, a popular loophole was simply to purchase the smartphone through Apple. This would avoid the $35 DCC fee at T-Mobile.

Until now.

According to a document shared with The Mobile Report, T-Mobile has now closed this loophole. As of March 27, T-Mobile has begun charging the $35 fee directly to customers' phone bills, removing the loophole.

SEE ALSO: T-Mobile is giving away the Apple iPhone 17 for free — last chance to claim yours

The T-Mobile fee has existed since 2022; however, many iPhone users found they could avoid the $35 charge by purchasing either in-store or online with Apple. The loophole existed because Apple lacked a mechanism to charge users T-Mobile's specific fee in its system. Now, T-Mobile has decided to charge the fee directly to customers by adding it to their bill for the following month's service.

T-Mobile users who insist on avoiding the $35 DCC fee still have at least one loophole intact, though. As a paid membership perk, Costco and Sam’s Club still waive the $35 fee for purchases made through their stores. However, there is one catch. An iPhone purchased through Costco or Sam’s Club will be locked to T-Mobile and not an unlocked version that can be used with any carrier.

With Apple looking to unveil the new iPhone 18 lineup and the rumored foldable iPhone by the end of the year, perhaps T-Mobile realized that many customers may plan to upgrade, which could result in a significant sum in DCC fees.

Ive tested portable power stations for years — heres what Id actually buy in the last hours of the Amazon Big Spring Sale

I'll let you in on a little secret about portable power stations — they're almost always on some type of discount. It's rare that I see any of my favorite models listed at full price, which is not a bad thing. But it makes it harder to discern a good deal from a meh deal. To help out, I've scrolled the pages of the Amazon Big Spring Sale to find the deals I think are actually worth buying. Since we won't have another major Amazon sale until Prime Day in June or July, this could be your best sale to shop ahead of camping season.

A portable power station has become a must-have tech item. It's like your favorite noise-cancelling earbuds — no idea how we survived without them. They've been my savior during power outages to keep the refrigerator running, my phone charged up, and the WiFi router connected. They're also well worth packing along on upcoming camping trips. Think of movie nights under the stars with a powered-up portable projector and fresh popcorn.

The one snag here is that batteries aren't cheap, and that's especially true of high-tech and long-lasting batteries found in portable power stations. Because of this, shopping for a power station during major sales like the Amazon Big Spring Sale is a wise move. Here are some of my favorite models seeing steep discounts during the sale. Be sure to lock in these prices before they disappear tonight.

If you need a large and in charge power solution, whether in an emergency or going off-grid, the Bluetti Elite 200 V2 is a fantastic option. It comes with 2,600Wh of battery power, which is more than enough to charge larger items like laptops and small appliances. It's also capable of recharging your phones and keeping the WiFi router on for an extended period of time. If you find that you routinely lose power, this unit is something you'll want to keep on hand to make sure you can charge things up when you need them.

The Solix F3800 comes bundled with a BP3800 Expansion Battery and a 400W solar panel. The extra battery brings the total capacity up to 7,680Wh while the addition of a solar panel puts you in line for recharging off-grid.

This Jackery model comes with 1,070Wh for recharging your phones while camping, keeping the speaker ready to go, and powering up the projector for movie nights.

Plus, Anker won a Guinness World Record for the power station's ability to recharge in just 49 minutes.

Everything Apple stopped selling in March. See the list.

Mashable - Tue, 03/31/2026 - 18:35

March was a busy month for Apple. The company introduced a wave of new hardware, quietly pulled a long list of older products from its store, and — in two cases — killed off entire product lines without a direct replacement.

It was the kind of housecleaning that Apple does periodically and with minimal fanfare, but this round carried more weight than usual.

So here's what's been discontinued by Apple:

What's gone

  • iPhone 16e

  • 11-inch and 13-inch M3 iPad Air

  • 13-inch and 15-inch M4 MacBook Air

  • 14-inch and 16-inch M4 MacBook Pro (Pro and Max configurations)

  • Apple Studio Display (2022)

  • AirPods Max (USB-C)

  • Pro Display XDR (no direct replacement)

  • Mac Pro (entire product line retired)

Apple discontinued the Pro Display XDR, its 32-inch 6K reference monitor that had been a fixture of professional workstations since 2019. The new Studio Display XDR is the closest thing to a successor — but it tops out at 27 inches and 5K resolution, a step back on both counts despite its mini-LED technology and higher refresh rates.

Additionally, according to 9to5Mac, Apple has retired the entire Mac Pro product line — ending what was once the flagship machine for creative and scientific professionals. The writing had been on the wall for some time: the Mac Studio had already outpaced the M2 Ultra Mac Pro in raw performance before Apple even got around to updating it. So, the Mac Pro's death was inevitable.

What does 'discontinued' actually mean for your device?

Discontinued and obsolete are not the same thing, and the gap between them is worth understanding. When Apple pulls a product from its store, that hardware enters a kind of purgatory — it may still be serviceable through Apple and authorized repair shops for years, depending on where you live. Eventually, after five years, it graduates to Apple's Vintage list, and then, further down the road, to the Obsolete designation. Once a device hits Obsolete, Apple and its repair network are under no obligation to fix it.

Apple moves products through that pipeline on its own timeline, with little notice. The original iPhone SE landed on the Obsolete list late last year — nearly a decade after it launched as Apple's first serious attempt at an affordable iPhone. It was not alone: several second-generation iPad Pro models and a pair of Apple Watch Series 4 variants made the same journey around the same time. The devices Apple stopped selling this month are just beginning that process.

Backrooms trailer teases a nightmarish journey into an eerie liminal space

Mashable - Tue, 03/31/2026 - 18:01

It's time to "no clip out of reality" and into...somewhere else.

Following on from a very eerie teaser we now have a full trailer for A24's Backrooms, Kane Parsons' feature length adaptation of his viral YouTube series which was in turn inspired by a 4chan creepypasta.

In the video above we see a man (Chiwetel Ejiofor) discovering a doorway to what appears to be another dimension in the basement of a store. Cue an exploration of a horrifying yellow liminal space where the rooms are either cavernously large or nightmarishly small — and possibly not unoccupied.

Backrooms stars Chiwetel Ejiofor, Renate Reinsve, Mark Duplass, Finn Bennett, and Lukita Maxwell.

Backrooms is in theaters May 29.

UPDATE: Mar. 31, 2026, 11:34 a.m. EDT We've updated this quide with the latest products and deals. Please note that prices on Pokémon collections change quickly.

Amazon’s Big Spring Sale ends today (March 31 at 11:59 p.m. PT), but there are still plenty of deals for Pokémon fans to hunt down. It's a good time to shop if your wishlist includes sealed TCG products, collector boxes, gaming gear, or even Pokémon-themed phone accessories.

Here are the best Pokémon deals we're seeing as the Big Spring Sale draws to a close. (Spoiler: Pokémon Pokopia isn't on sale, but we're keeping a close eye on Amazon's listing in case that changes in the eleventh hour. Check out our review in the meantime.)

Best Pokémon collector's set deal Opens in a new window Credit: The Pokémon Company Pokémon TCG Mega Charizard X ex Ultra-Premium Collection $189.42 at Amazon
$249.99 Save $60.57   Get Deal

Amazon has the Pokémon TCG Mega Charizard X ex Ultra-Premium Collection marked down to $189.42 (normally $249.99), saving you over $60 on a fancy collector's set. It's now five bucks under TCGplayer's market price value of $195. This set includes 18 booster packs, two foil promo cards, 65 card sleeves, a metal coin, six damage-counter dice, a playmat, and a deck box.

Best Pokémon booster box deal Opens in a new window Credit: The Pokémon Company Pokémon TCG Mega Evolution Perfect Order Booster Display Box $219.75 at Amazon
$279.99 Save $60.24   Get Deal

With a price cut of over $60, snagging the Pokémon TCG Mega Evolution Perfect Order Booster Display Box (36 booster packs) on sale for $219.75 means you're only paying roughly $6.10 per booster pack. That's almost $6 off compared to buying on-sale Perfect Order boosters individually.

Unlike an Elite Trainer Box, you are not getting sleeves, dice, or storage extras here. This is more of a straight pack-heavy buy for collectors who want to open a full box at once or chase cards from the new Perfect Order expansion without paying for the added accessories.

The best boring (but essential) deals to shop in Amazons Big Spring Sale

Mashable - Tue, 03/31/2026 - 17:32
Best boring but essential deals: Best trash bag deal Hefty Ultra Strong Tall Kitchen Trash Bags, Lavender & Sweet Vanilla Scent (80 count) $11.97 (save $4.02) Get Deal Best laundry deal Cleancult Ultra Concentrated Liquid Laundry Detergent Soap, Juniper Sandalwood Scent (192 loads) $24 (save $11.99) Get Deal Best toilet paper deal Quilted Northern Ultra Soft & Strong Toilet Paper (24 count) $20.19 (save $7.60) Get Deal Best health and wellness deal Breathe Right Nasal Strips (44 count) $12.40 (save $8.59) Get Deal

We all know the drill by now. Amazon's Big Spring Sale is ending today, and suddenly everyone is trying to justify buying another air fryer or a new TV (which, I mean, fair). But if you want to outsmart the algorithm and save money where it counts, you need to refrain from your wants and focus on your needs.

Which means the absolute smartest way to shop this sale: the boring stuff.

You know, the everyday, unsexy household essentials we are literally forced to buy anyway. Why pay full price for trash bags, laundry detergent, dishwasher pods, or paper towels? You're just going to throw them in the garbage or flush them down the toilet eventually.

SEE ALSO: I'm trying the Dyson Spot+Scrub Ai at home — one minute I'm cheering it on, the next I'm cursing it out

Amazon is dropping prices on a ton of these pantry and closet staples. Just a quick reminder: while anyone can shop the sale, Prime members are the ones who'll get those exclusive "Best Deals." So if you're borrowing an account, now's the time to log in. And you might want to hop to it, since we're in the final few hours of the sale. Noticeably missing from the Amazon Big Spring Sale are Crest Whitestrips. These are a staple for every major Amazon sale, so it's odd to see them left out. Here's hoping to restock during Prime Day.

Here are the best boring (but entirely essential) deals you can add to your cart before the sale ends tonight.

Trash bags and other kitchen essentialsLaundry sheets, detergent, and pods Toilet paper and paper towelsHealth and wellness
