$999.99 Save $283.60 Get Deal

The initial sticker shock can be hard to get past, but rest assured, the LG CordZero All-in-One's $1,000 price tag is justified, according to Mashable's resident vacuum connoisseur Leah Stodart. She credits "its streamlining of multi-step cleaning routines and game-changing auto-empty station" for its overall value. The All-in-One includes the the CordZero A939KBGS stick vacuum, an auto-emptying charging tower, a power mop nozzle, a multitude of other accessories, and two rechargeable batteries you can swap out mid-cleaning if the one dies. As of June 17, Amazon has it on sale for the lowest price we've seen to date: $716.39. That's 28% in savings and $83 cheaper than it currently is on LG's own website.

These "excellent" earbuds deliver "quality active noise cancellation and balanced, detailed audio for a modest price," according to our friends at PCMag (which is owned by Mashable's publisher, Ziff Davis). With 50 hours of audio playback, a fast-charging feature that gives you four extra hours of battery from 10 minutes of charging, and adaptive noise cancellation you can customize in the app, it's hard to beat these affordable buds. As of June 17, they're even back on sale for $49.99 — the same all-time low we saw during the Big Spring Sale.

$429.99 Save $190.00 Get Deal

If you're looking for a hands-free hybrid robot to do your floor cleaning, the eufy G40 Hybrid+ is one of our top picks. It may not offer smart mapping, but it does recharge itself when the battery gets low, then resumes where it left off. Plus, it auto-empties up to 60 days worth of dust and debris into a triple-filtered, auto-locking dust bag. Usually it retails for $429.99, but you can get it on sale at Amazon for just $239.99 as of June 17. That's a savings of 44% and its lowest price to date. If you don't need the mopping feature, you can also save $20 and snag the non-hybrid model for $219.99.

It's designed specifically for gamers, so it may not be your best option for everyday work from home tasks. As of June 17, you can snag it on sale for only $749.99 instead of the usual $1,299.99 — that's 42% in savings.

It's that time of year again: Walmart is hosting its annual Walmart+ Week just one month ahead of Prime Day (what a clap-back) from June 17 to 23, 2024. While the official Walmart+ Week deals aren't set to drop until 12 PM EST, we're already seeing some of the savings pour in, including some hefty discounts on laptops, gaming consoles, and TVs.

In fact, you can score $50 off an onn. 75-inch Class 4K frameless Roku smart TV right now before the official sale begins. (This deal is a Walmart rollback and doesn't require a Walmart+ membership.)

This Roku smart TV is packed with features and has a 60hz refresh rate, so you can watch your favorite teams, challenge fellow gamers to a friendly match, or binge-watch classics that'll make you ugly cry all weekend long without dealing with an annoying lag. With a 4K resolution, a 75-inch screen, and more than 500,000 movies and TV episodes to browse, there's a little something for everyone on this TV.

Sure, 75 inches may sound like a lot (and, honestly, it is), but how cool would it be to have a weekly movie night with your friends or family? You'd be the only one with an in-home theatre, which means you can ask them to bring snacks in exchange for a wicked viewing experience — and you can't beat that!

Remember all that fancy AI stuff apple announced at WWDC recently? You may have to wait longer than expected for some of it.

According to Mark Gurman's Power On newsletter at Bloomberg, Apple is taking a careful approach with its rollout of Apple Intelligence. Many of its features will launch roughly alongside iOS 18 in the fall, but this is considered a beta release by Apple. They will only be available for iPhone 15 Pro models — and their language capabilities will max out at American English for now.

SEE ALSO: Apple Watch Series 10 will reportedly be a huge upgrade Apple Intelligence Siri features possibly delayed to 2025

As part of that, a subset of features related to Siri's AI-fueled glow-up are being held back to 2025, per Gurman:

• Semantic indexing: A feature that allows the iPhone to collect data from images, emails, and websites and apps you use

• Personal context: A feature that lets Siri take in information from calendar entries, text conversations, emails, and other sources and use that context to respond to personal queries

• On-screen awareness: A feature that gives Siri the ability to grab information from what is currently on-screen to use as context for responses

• Precise app control: A feature that lets Siri do things like show you edit specific photos or summarize articles using voice commands from within an app

Apple Intelligence evangelists should fear not, as many of the other advertised features at WWDC should be ready for use either right when iOS 18 launches or before the end of 2024, at worst. Prioritized notifications, website summaries, Genmoji, and others should hopefully be there to play around with to your heart's content.

You'll just have to wait for Siri to reach its full AI potential.

Back in May, TikTok announced the launch of TikTok Symphony, a creative suite designed to help brands put together AI-generated ads. Now, the social media giant is expanding these tools, announcing generative AI avatars for brands and creators.

It's an interesting move, allowing Symphony users to use digital avatars for creative and branded content. TikTok is offering both "stock avatars", which are pre-built with paid actors and licensed for commercial use, and "custom avatars", which are crafted to represent a creator's likeness or a brand's spokesperson or figurehead.

Brands can choose between stock or custom avatars within the creative suite. Credit: TikTok

With this new tool, the content you may on your FYP will likely be more regularly AI-generated. TikTok, like other big social media platforms, has implemented ways to label AI content and let users know that what they're seeing has been made with the help of artificial intelligence.

SEE ALSO: TikTok's AI-generated content is getting watermarked

Andy Yang, head of creative product at TikTok, said that the avatars will "unlock a new avenue for creators to scale their opportunities with brands globally."

"We aim to fuel the creator economy by investing in creative solutions that spark joy, imagination and action," continued Yang in a statement.

TikTok also revealed additional features attached to Symphony, including AI-dubbing, which will allow creators and marketers to translate content into over 10 languages and dialects, in order to connect with bigger audiences globally. According to TikTok, the tool will automatically detect the original language in a video, later transcribing, translating, and producing a dubbed video in the selected languages offered.

It seems TikTok is slowly rolling out more AI-related tools, and we can assume there's more to come. The wildly-popular app has been playing around with several other new features of late, including ChatGPT-generated search results.
