The ULT Wears have Sony's impressive sound quality and noise cancellation, and are made even more impressive by the addition of the ULT button, which punches up the bass two additional levels. These headphones are booming, and the best part is they're relatively budget-friendly.

It can also hold two Moscow mules, according to Yeti, if that's more your speed. The Rambler is available in an array of fun and neutral colors. Plus, you can customize it with an etched design or monogram. For just $6 to $10, you can choose designs from Yeti's library or upload your own file.

This Baked by Melissa offering comes with 25 cupcakes and the flavors vary depending on your sign — though there are some fan-favorites that show up in each zodiac variation. These also make for a great last-minute ask if you're in Manhattan or Boston, as there's same-day delivery for select locations.

It's designed to be smokeless and portable, making it great for balconies, backyards, beach hangs, or camping trips. Mashable Senior Shopping Reporter Haley Henschel reviewed the larger Solo Stove Bonfire and wrote that it burns "beautiful, clean fires when conditions are right." The best part? The Ranger is typically on sale for $199.99, so whoever gifts it has 30 extra dollars to spend on your birthday.

The Verve chair is a prime example of that. It's super comfy and ergonomic, and it comes in really cute colors, but it's definitely on the luxury end of pricing. If you work from home or just spend a lot of time sitting at a desk, put this at the top of your wish list.

The design is super low-profile, making it easy to slip into your purse or pocket on a night out. Plus, there are a bunch of cute designs to choose from for the outside case.

And that's why the new AirPods Pro (Gen 2) earbuds are an ideal birthday present. For people still using lightning cables (gross), the new USB-C version will be a welcome upgrade. Apple stepped up its audio game with these buds, which feature improved sound quality and active noise cancellation. For a cheaper alternative, ask for the latest 3rd Gen AirPods, which start at $169.

It's something you probably want, but don't particularly want to spend the money on. Lodge has different sizes depending on what you're wanting to cook.

Impress guests with your culinary skills (that are in fact just throwing all the ingredients listed in the recipe into this thing and then waiting a few hours).

Having a clean and tidy home is a joy. Cleaning and tidying said home is less of a joy. Though there are some elevated beings among us who find scrubbing their stovetop a meditative experience, most people consider such tasks exhausting, reviled chores only undertaken with reluctance.
Fortunately, the steady march of technological advancement continues to lighten the burden of domestic labour. The popularisation of washing machines and dishwashers revolutionised everyday chores in the '50s, freeing up precious time for millions of people. New devices are now furthering the cause, seeking to become the next ubiquitous household cleaning essential.
Here are four gadgets to help keep your home clean with minimal effort.
SEE ALSO: How to clean your laptop screen Dremel Versa electric scrubber Scrubbing made way easier. Credit: DremelKeeping a home clean unfortunately often necessitates scrubbing for hours on end until your fingers are permanently, painfully stuck in a clawed position. The Dremel Versa is an electric scrubbing device designed to make this chore much easier, replacing your elbow grease with 2,200 RPM.
The Versa has a slew of attachments available to suit a variety of scrubbing needs, whether you want to clean steel, grout, or glass. While its brushes screw in, the sponges adhere to the Versa via a Velcro-like pad, keeping them firmly attached while also making them ridiculously easy to swap out.
Dremel has a handy chart to help you determine the appropriate sponge for a variety of tasks, though it's still fairly nerve-wracking at first. As someone who has inadvertently scratched shower glass with a drill-powered scrubbing brush, you don't want to be applying such power unless you're absolutely sure you have the right attachment. You should consider wearing hearing protection as well, especially if you're using the Dremel Versa in an enclosed space such as a shower. After all, it is essentially a drill.
Though once you've figured it out, the Dremel Versa can go a long way to making home upkeep less taxing.

They've developed significantly in the years since, evolving to the point where having a robot vacuum is actually a reasonable proposition. Roborock's S8 MaxV Ultra is the result of those years of technological advancement.
Boasting 10,000 Pa of suction power, Roborock's flagship model does practically everything you could ask of a robot vacuum within the bounds of current technology — as well as a few things you probably wouldn't have thought to request. In addition to vacuuming and mopping, the S8 MaxV Ultra's docking station allows it to automatically wash its own microfibre mop pad, empty its dust bin, refill its water tank, and even top up its detergent. Using LiDAR and AI to identify obstacles and navigate your home, the S8 MaxV Ultra can respond to voice commands and even has a novel in-app feature for tracking down your pet, letting you observe your furry friend via its onboard camera.

The robot vacuum's stand out feature is it FlexiArm Design side brush, which reaches out to sweep up corners as well as areas under low furniture that might otherwise be missed. Its edge mop also ensures that you get a close clean along walls.
One caveat is that this handy robotic friend will set you back a pretty penny. The Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra is one of the most expensive robot vacuums currently on the market, meaning it will primarily appeal to those with a couple of thousand dollars to spend. But if you're sick of vacuuming and want a set-and-forget solution to keeping your floors clean, investing in a S8 MaxV Ultra might very well be worth it.

Having now been through several dire bushfire seasons which smothered my home in smoke, I now know better.
Whether you're dealing with wildfire smoke or city smog, a good air purifier can be vital to the comfort of a home. After all, it's difficult to relax if you can't even get a lungful of good, clean air. The Coway Airmega 200M is a relatively unobtrusive workhorse that can maintain clean air in a 361 square foot area, whether you're binge-watching Netflix in your living room or optimising your sleep in your bedroom. The result is an environment that feels undeniably fresher and more peaceful.
The Airmega 200M has four stages of filtration: a pre-filter for larger particles such as hair and dust; a deodorisation filter to capture smells; a True HEPA filter for ultra fine particles like pollen, viruses, and germs; and a vital ioniser to catch any ultra fine particles the previous filters missed.
Operating at a whisper-quiet volume, Conway's air purifier has a timer which can be set to one, four, or eight hours, as well as three different fan speeds. It also has an Eco Mode, which will save you energy by turning the fan off if the Airmega 200M doesn't detect pollution for half an hour, then turning it back on when it does.

Unfortunately, these benefits are significantly diminished if you can't keep said windows clean.
Bosch's GlassVAC Solo Plus window vacuum aims to simplify this chore, squeegeeing and sucking up liquids for a tidy, streak-free finish. Bundled with a spray bottle affixed to a microfibre cloth head, this handheld gadget is designed to clean windows, mirrors, shower screens, tiles, and other such surfaces. Just turn it on, squeegee as usual, and watch as dirty water collects in its 100mL tank instead of on your window sill.
The vacuum isn't quite as effective when running the GlassVAC Solo Plus horizontally across surfaces as opposed to vertically, and it may not get every last drop. Depending on how wet your window was, you may still need to give the sill a quick wipe. Even so, the GlassVAC Solo Plus does an excellent job of substantially minimising mess, and is particularly handy when dealing with morning condensation on bedroom windows.
The Bosch's GlassVAC Solo Plus also doesn't make that grating squeaking sound that most standard squeegees do, which is an undeniable bonus.

Connections is the latest New York Times word game that's captured the public's attention. The game is all about finding the "common threads between words." And just like Wordle, Connections resets after midnight and each new set of words gets trickier and trickier—so we've served up some hints and tips to get you over the hurdle.
If you just want to be told today's puzzle, you can jump to the end of this article for July 1's Connections solution. But if you'd rather solve it yourself, keep reading for some clues, tips, and strategies to assist you.
What is Connections?The NYT's latest daily word game has become a social media hit. The Times credits associate puzzle editor Wyna Liu with helping to create the new word game and bringing it to the publications' Games section. Connections can be played on both web browsers and mobile devices and require players to group four words that share something in common.
Tweet may have been deletedEach puzzle features 16 words and each grouping of words is split into four categories. These sets could comprise of anything from book titles, software, country names, etc. Even though multiple words will seem like they fit together, there's only one correct answer. If a player gets all four words in a set correct, those words are removed from the board. Guess wrong and it counts as a mistake—players get up to four mistakes until the game ends.
Tweet may have been deletedPlayers can also rearrange and shuffle the board to make spotting connections easier. Additionally, each group is color-coded with yellow being the easiest, followed by green, blue, and purple. Like Wordle, you can share the results with your friends on social media.

Is Google Maps is testing a new feature that may drive — no pun intended — you up a wall? Anthony Higman, a Google Maps user, posted on X about it, pointing out that he spotted a "never-before-seen" pop-up ad while driving with the navigation app near Atlantic City, New Jersey.
"Yo Check Out This Wild New Ad Format On The Google Maps App," Higman wrote. "I Put In Directions Down The Shore And Then When I Passed This Gas Station This Royal Farms Ad Popped Up With 'Add Stop.'"
Higman added that he didn't input anything regarding gas or food into the app. "Anyone Know What Kind OF Ad Format This Is?!?!?!" he asked.

Google Maps experimenting with new pop-up ads?It appears that Google Maps is testing a new feature that, without being prompted, launches a sponsored pop-up ad for a nearby business with the buttons "Cancel" and "Add Stop."
Calling it "aggressive," 9to5Google pointed out that this is an ad format that Google has used for its Waze app. Of course, Google Maps is no stranger to sponsored content. For example, per Neowin, Google highlights sponsored businesses on maps and search results, particularly when people search for adjacent locations (e.g., "pizza near me").
According to AndroidPolice, this so-called "intrusive" ad may be based on a recent memo Google sent to advertisers that says, in part, "We're launching ads on Google Maps to help advertisers like you get more leads. The current launch is limited to the iOS version of the Google Maps mobile app."
However, when Mashable reached out to Google for comment, a spokesperson told us the following:
"Promoted pins in navigation are not new - they let people see relevant ads for businesses like gas stations, restaurants, and stores along their route. To avoid driver distraction, these ads do not pop up, expand only if they’re tapped on, and disappear quickly after a short time."
In other words, this isn't a new practice. You probably have seen these ads already, and if you haven't, it's only a matter of time.
Multihypenate talent Donald Glover, who just dropped his new single "Lithonia," can add another accomplishment to his resume: a major collaboration on TikTok. OK, so it's not necessarily the same as the award-winning series Atlanta, but Glover teamed up with TikTokker @Jordan_The_Stallion8 to film a video joking about the fact that many folks seem to think they look alike.
If you're unfamiliar with Glover, well, where have you been? He's a movie and TV star, an accomplished musician under the moniker Childish Gambino, and a brilliant writer and creator. If you're unfamiliar with Jordan The Stallion, his real name is Jordan Howlett, and, well, that's a bit more understandable. But he's a very popular TikTokker, known for his hot takes, bringing awareness to food "secrets," and ranting in front of his bathroom mirror.
And folks seem to think these two men look alike. I don't see it, but the TikTok playing off that fact on Howlett's account has already racked up some 11 million views.
The TikTok itself is pretty funny. It starts with Glover copying Howlett's signature style and then both revealing themselves on frame in the same outfit. The video features a couple of playful jokes like "Grownish Gambino" and Glover lamenting the fact that people ask him for ridiculous recipes. It's a funny TikTok, and it's obviously gone wildly viral.
However, it just goes to show how powerful a platform TikTok has become. Consider the fact that a major Hollywood star is teaming up to make jokes with a popular TikTokker. Sure, it probably has a lot to do with the fact that Glover is promoting his upcoming album, Bando Stone & The New World, but promoting that album on TikTok is as powerful a tool as anything else.
OpenAI released a ChatGPT app for Mac less than two weeks ago – and there's already been a security issue.
It turns out the ChatGPT for Mac app had been storing users' conversations with the AI chatbot in plain text.
OpenAI has since fixed the issue with an update, so its important to download the latest ChatGPT for Mac version from the OpenAI website.
SEE ALSO: It’s not just ChatGPT. A new AI chatbot is coming to iPhone, according to new report. ChatGPT for Mac security flawLast week, Threads user @pvieito discovered that the recently released ChatGPT for Mac application was storing user conversations with the AI chatbot in plain text in a non-encrypted location.
These conversations were stored locally, so a bad actor would've needed to access the user's computer to utilize these conversations for nefarious purposes. However, as Mashable and other outlets have recently reported, due to Microsoft's own issues with its Recall feature, bad actors are increasingly gaining access to unsuspecting victims' computers via malicious remote methods.
Post by @pvieito View on ThreadsAs @pvieito pointed out, OpenAI distributes its ChatGPT Mac app from its own website — not through Apple's own Mac App Store. Apple is notorious for its strict guidelines for developers who choose to distribute apps through their official app stores. However, third-parties who distribute through their own platforms are not held to the same security standards.
“We are aware of this issue and have shipped a new version of the application which encrypts these conversations,” an OpenAI spokesperson told The Verge in a statement last week. “We’re committed to providing a helpful user experience while maintaining our high security standards as our technology evolves.”
While the issue has since been fixed, it could not have come at a worse time for OpenAI. The ChatGPT creator and Apple just announced a partnership last month and Apple is notorious for prioritizing users' privacy. In fact, Apple's inability to trust Meta regarding privacy concerns has reportedly led to the iPhone maker passing on using Meta's AI models for its Apple Intelligence ambitions.
OpenAI will need to be more proactive about privacy and security issues in the future so its credibility doesn't come into question from its partners.
YouTube Music is stepping up its game with an exciting new AI feature that lets users create custom radio stations just by asking. Spotted by an eagle-eyed Reddit user, kater_pro, this experimental feature is currently rolling out to a lucky few.
SEE ALSO: YouTube has delivered an important update to its audio eraser toolWhen fully launched, the new feature will introduce an "Ask for music any way you like" card on the Home feed. This card, displayed in vibrant purple and pink hues, is similar in appearance to the existing "Create a radio: Your music tuner" card in the Library tab. Selecting this card will create a chat-based interface where users can request music via voice or keyboard.
RedditFor instance, a request for "Queer Hip Hop Beats" produced a station the AI described as "Rhymes and flows from the heart, a celebration of queer pride in hip hop's art." The interface also offers a variety of suggested prompts such as "Catchy pop choruses," "Epic soundtracks," and "Upbeat pop anthems," with a "Surprise me!" option for a randomly generated station.
After a prompt is entered, the AI generates a radio station, which appears in the familiar playlist card format. The station is named after the prompt and marked "Created for you," with a description to match. YouTube Music has added a note cautioning users that "AI-generated responses are experimental," indicating that the quality and accuracy of responses may vary. It also advises against sharing personal or confidential information.
While it's still being tested by a few lucky users, it'll be interesting to see how well YouTube Music's foray into generative AI playlist-making stacks up against Spotify's own endeavors.
GET $300 OFF: As of July 8, Target Circle members can snag a Shark Matrix Plus 2-in-1 robot vacuum and mop for just $399.99, down from $699.99.
Opens in a new window Credit: Shark Our pick: Shark Matrix Plus 2-in-1 robot vacuum and mop $399.99 at TargetIf you’re looking for a new robot vacuum that can handle mopping duties, the Shark Matrix Plus 2-in-1 robot vacuum and mop (previously known as the Sharl AI Ultra 2-in-1) might be your best option.
SEE ALSO: Target's Circle Week is here and runs through July 13As of July 8, Target Circle members can get this amped-up robot vacuum hybrid (and self-emptying base) for $399.99, down from $699.99. That’s $300 off the listing price and the lowest price we’ve seen on this model since April. (If you don’t want to sign up for Target Circle, Amazon matches this price.)
The Shark Matrix Plus 2-in-1 robot vacuum and mop is the real deal. According to Mashable contributor Timothy Beck Werth, this little robot is “actually good at mopping, a rarity in this market, and it cleans just as well as flagship robot vacuums that cost two or three times as much.” He even dubbed it the best robot vacuum mop combo you could buy in 2023.
With Matrix Clean technology, this robo-vac is built to clean floors more thoroughly than most. The matrix grid system uses multiple passes to hit every inch of your floors, and the self-emptying base means you won't have to empty the dustbin as often. You can set no-go zones and control it via the SharkClean app.
It also features true HEPA filtration to capture allergens, and the Sonic Mopping feature works on hardwood, tile, and laminate floors.
In the same way that Black Friday has become more of a season than a singular day, the entire month of July could aptly be called Prime Day season at this point. Past the sheer deal count at the behemoth that started it all, it's become tradition for other huge retailers like Best Buy respond to Amazon with a major sale event of their own — lining up on or near Prime Day, of course.
SEE ALSO: Just in time for Prime Day, Target's Circle Week is back July 7 through 13Hot on the heels of Best Buy's 4th of July sale, Best Buy is surely set to release dates for another summer sale any day now. We can use context clues like the official dates for Amazon's Prime Day, which runs July 16 and 17, to predict the dates Best Buy is eyeing. For instance, during the fall version of Prime Day in 2023, Best Buy ran a 48-hour Flash Sale on Oct. 11 and 12 — the same days Amazon chose.
Where Best Buy beats AmazonIt's true that there are a ton of overlapping deals at both Best Buy and Amazon during these events. But both stores also have their own unique strong points, and there are also plenty of opportunities to shop strategically within certain product categories.
While Amazon's discounts typically extend to a wider variety of product categories from a huge crop of stores and sellers, Best Buy has a history of beating Amazon's deals in several major tech categories. Best Buy tends to have a much more reliable slew of TVs and laptops on sale, compared to Amazon's shorter lists composed of a smaller variety of brands (and which are also more likely to be bogged down by iffy third-party sellers). Meanwhile, Amazon typically wins when it comes to home stuff, like robot vacuum deals and kitchen deals.
Best Buy doesn't gatekeep its deals quite like Amazon does, generally leaving most discounts available to the public and reserving a handful of exclusive discounts on premium brands like Samsung or Dyson for paid My Best Buy Plus or My Best Buy Total members. Amazon does, however, surprise some shoppers with access to invite-only deals, which features some pretty jaw-dropping price cuts on items like headphones or Fire TVs that you definitely won't find anywhere else.
SEE ALSO: Walmart vs. Amazon: Which retail giant has the best deals?Throughout the entire year, Best Buy also does this thing called Best Buy Drops: a feature found only on the Best Buy mobile app that gives shoppers a heads-up about upcoming "drops" of high-profile items and deals in categories like gaming, cheap TVs, fan-favorite pop culture merch, high-profile hair tools, kitchen gadgets, and more. As long as you have the Best Buy mobile app, you can preview what's coming on what day that week so that you're ready to click "add to cart" when the item or deal goes live.
Similar to many Prime deals, only a certain number of Drop items can be claimed while the offer is live, and then they sell out. Unlike Prime deals, Best Buy does drops about three times a week throughout the entire year.

Best TV deal at Best Buy Opens in a new window Credit: Toshiba Toshiba 75-inch C350 4K Fire TV $449.99 at Best BuyIf you're eyeing a Fire TV this Prime Day season, don't automatically opt for the Omni on name recognition alone. While Amazon's own in-house Fire TVs are on sale, you definitely won't be seeing one of those 75-inch bad boys go on sale for less than $500. Toshiba's well-reviewed C35- Fire TV, however, is a different story. The C350 admittedly is a basic 4K TV that's definitely decent enough for casual living room watching or light gaming, especially if you care more about getting the biggest screen for your buck over specs.

Best Apple AirPods (2nd Generation) deal Opens in a new window Credit: Apple Our pick: Apple AirPods (2nd Generation) $79.99 at TargetThe 2nd generation Apple AirPods aren't the most sophisticated model on the market, but that doesn't mean they're not a great buy. With a list price of $129.99, they're more price-conscious than newer models. With a Target Circle Week sale price of $79.99, these everyday earbuds are even more budget-friendly. Like all AirPods, they're known for their comfortable fit, hands-free connectivity, and reliable battery life that provides more than 24 hours of listening time thanks to their handy charging case.
Best Apple AirPods (3rd Generation) deal Opens in a new window Credit: Apple Our pick: Best Apple AirPods (3rd Generation) $139.99 at TargetSweat and water-resistant, Apple AirPods (3rd Generation) are a great pick if you're looking for a new pair of earbuds to accompany you during your workouts.

Best Apple AirPods Max deal Opens in a new window Credit: Apple Our pick: Apple AirPods Max with two free months of Apple Music $549.00 at TargetWhile the splurge-worthy Apple AirPods Max are not technically on sale, Target Circle members do get some perks if they buy the over-ear headphones this week. As part of Circle Week, members receive two free months of Apple Music when they buy a pair of Apple AirPods Max. An individual subscription to Apple Music costs $10.99 a month, so that's a total value of $21.98. While that's not much in the grand scheme of things, every penny counts when you're making a big purchase like this. It's worth noting that over at Amazon, the same headphones are listed for $529. However, Amazon shoppers do not get the same Apple Music deal.
