TL;DR: Hurry and grab lifetime access to Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and more with a Microsoft Office 2019 license for Windows at A$46 for a limited time.
Opens in a new window Credit: Retail King Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2019 for Windows AU$46Your credit card is exhausted from all of today’s subscription fees. While you probably don’t want to cancel Peacock and never see the ending of Yellowstone or say goodbye to two-day shipping with Prime, you could swap your Microsoft 365 subscription for a Microsoft Office lifetime license.
Instead of spending A$10 monthly (or A$120 yearly), you can pay once and use the apps as much as you’d like. For a little while longer, the Windows software suite is on sale for A$46.
What apps are included?Microsoft Office 2019 isn’t the newest version available, but it’s the cheaper one for people who just need to use the apps and don’t care about what they look like inside. However, it does have a classic, timeless design.
Here's a list of the apps you get:
Word
Excel
PowerPoint
Outlook
OneNote
Publisher
Access
This purchase is a no-brainer if you aren’t taking full advantage of Microsoft 365’s OneDrive storage, mobile app access, and cloud-based backups. Those just wanting the apps should be more than comfortable with a Microsoft Office download.
You might actually like this license more than the subscription. The apps are downloaded directly onto your PC instead of hosted on the cloud. While this does mean there are no built-in cloud backups, you don’t have to worry about the hassle of trying to work offline.
Plus, now that Microsoft added Copilot’s AI features to Microsoft 365, you might be looking for a way to escape them. Not everyone is crazy about having a virtual robot interfere with their work, and these classic apps won’t ever bug you about it.
The price drop on this lifetime license to Microsoft Office 2019 for Windows runs for a limited time, so get your download for A$46 while supplies are available.

SAVE $40: As of June 4, the Kindle Paperwhite Kids is on sale at Amazon once again for just $139.99, down from $179.99. That's a savings of 22% and matches its best price on record.
Opens in a new window Credit: Kindle Kindle Paperwhite Kids (16GB) $139.99 at AmazonSchool's out for summer (or it's about to be), which means the kids are about to be reaching for their screens more often than usual. Swap the tablet or gaming console for screen time you can feel good about with the Kindle Paperwhite Kids. It's packed with kid-friendly books only — no notifications, apps, videos, or other distractions — and it's back on sale for its best-ever price at Amazon.
As of June 4, the Kindle Paperwhite Kids is on sale at Amazon for only $139.99, down from $179.99. That's a savings of 22% and matches its lowest price on record.
SEE ALSO: From the basic to the Paperwhite, these are Amazon's best KindlesThe Paperwhite Kids is our favorite Kindle for young readers, particularly because it has a waterproof build, unlike the regular Kindle Kids. Kids are unhinged, so a waterproof screen is a necessity. The Paperwhite Kids is also heftier than the adult Kindle Paperwhite, which makes it sturdier and able to withstand just about anything kids throw at it. If anything does manage to break it, however, Amazon will replace it within the first two years.
The newest rendition of the device was released last fall and comes in its thinnest, fastest form yet, as well as a variety of new designs. It features a seven-inch display with a higher contrast ratio and 25 percent faster page turns than its predecessor, which both help to keep kids engaged in the content.
We love that it comes with built-in parental controls and a free six-month subscription to Amazon Kids+, which is loaded with tons of age-appropriate books. That's plenty of time to get them through the lazy summer months. After the six-month trial period, it'll cost $5.99 per month. It's a good thing you'll be saving $40 on the device itself.

Otherwise, this model comes paired with a 10-core Snapdragon X Plus processor, a 4K webcam, and Windows 11, so it's a great contender for working on the go or just chilling at home with your favorite shows and movies. This price is the lowest you'll get this model for, so you should snap it up while it's still here.
President Donald Trump's directive to rebrand the U.S AI Safety Institute will eliminate "safety" from its name. Instead, the AISI, which worked with private tech companies to asses the safety risks of AI, will be renamed the Center for AI Standards and Innovation (CAISI).
According to Axios, which broke the news on May 29, the new CAISI will retain much of the same function, with an added focus on international coordination.
SEE ALSO: What is Palantir? The secretive tech company behind Trump's data collection effortsLaunched in 2023 by President Joe Biden, AISI was housed under the Commerce Department’s National Institute of Standards and Technology. Its original mandate was to assess the risks posed by systems like ChatGPT and Claude. Then, after Trump came back into office, and Elon Musk's “DOGE” team added to the mix, insiders expected the institute to be dissolved entirely.
In February, AISI was excluded from the Paris AI Summit hosted by Trump’s team. By March, researchers were told to prioritize audits that reduced "ideological bias" in the systems they reviewed.
What exactly CAISI will do now remains unclear. Per Axios, the former AISI's responsibilities won't deviate that much, but judging from its new name and comments from Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, the focus appears to be tilting toward acceleration, not caution.
"For far too long, censorship and regulations have been used under the guise of national security," Lutnick said in a statement. "Innovators will no longer be limited by these standards. CAISI will evaluate and enhance U.S. innovation of these rapidly developing commercial AI systems while ensuring they remain secure to our national security standards."

The lightweight and compact Garmin inReach gives you access to two-way messaging as well as global SOS should you find yourself in need of help. On a lighter note, the inReach is great for finding your route back to the starting point, and you can share your location. Plus, there's a digital compass.

In terms of battery life, expect to get about 14 days when using the inReach on the default 10-minuted tracking mode. If you switch that to the 30-minute tracking mode, you can get up to 30 days of battery life before a recharge.
Keep in mind that many of these features require a satellite subscription plan, which comes in at about $15 per month through Garmin.
Before you head out into the wilderness, snag the Garmin inReach Mini 2 while it's $100 off. It gives you essential information like routing and weather, while also giving your loved ones peace of mind.

A federal judge blocked Florida officials from enforcing a law that would bar social media for kids under the age of 14.
In the ruling, U.S. District Judge Mark Walker wrote that "Florida’s challenged law is likely unconstitutional" but added the court "does not doubt that parents and legislators in the state have sincere concerns about the effects that social media use may have on youth."
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signed the bill in March of 2024 that would bar kids under 14 years old from social media and require parental permission for those who are 14 or 15. Facebook, Instagram, and Snapchat already require users to be at least 13 years old, while TikTok has a curated, watch-only version for kids under 13. It's worth noting these restrictions are in-line with an existing federal law that restricts data collection on users under the age of 13.
SEE ALSO: Social media now unlawful for kids under 14 in FloridaIn the judge's order granting the preliminary injunction, he wrote the law "directly burdens those youths’ rights to engage in and access speech." Internet trade group NetChoice challenged the law over free speech concerns as well as the burden and risk of requiring mass identity verification.
Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier defended the state law and said the state intended to appeal the decision. Lawmakers felt the law could help curb the potential harm from young people using social media.
"These platforms do not have a constitutional right to addict kids to their products,” Uthmeier’s press secretary Jae Williams said in a statement, via the Associated Press. “We disagree with the court’s order and will immediately seek relief in the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals.”
So it seems despite the judge's decision, this saga is far from over.

TL;DR: The highly anticipated Nintendo Switch 2 launches on June 5. If you missed out on preorders, you might want to try your luck in person at the following retailers: Best Buy, Target, Staples, GameStop, Costco, Sam's Club, and Walmart.
The entire lead-up to the release of the Nintendo Switch 2 has been a mess. President Trump's tariffs delayed the initial preorder, then all the major retailers' websites crashed (shocker) once preorders opened. Even if you did manage to secure a preorder, there's a good chance it was canceled with no explanation. Demand is high, and it seems that many retailers may have oversold their stock and then were forced to backtrack. So, how the heck can you get your hands on the Nintendo Switch 2? Try heading to a local chain retailer like the good old days.
Here's where you can buy the Nintendo Switch 2 in person on launch day (June 5). We recommend arriving early and bringing a camping chair (at the very least).
Best BuyOpening time: 12:01 a.m. ET
Most Best Buy stores will have a limited stock of consoles available for in-person purchase, starting at midnight ET on June 5. Stores will be open for two hours and will be giving away a limited-edition collectible coin. Check out the retailer's Switch 2 landing page to see if your local store is participating in the late-night launch.
TargetOpening time: 8:00 a.m. local time
Rather than doing a late-night event, Target stores will open at their usual time on June 5 (typically 8 a.m.). Switch 2 hopefuls can line up as early as they please "in the designated queuing location" near the store entrance. Target employees will hand out a limited number of reservation tickets to the first in line, so be sure to get there well before the store opens. If you're lucky enough to receive a reservation ticket, you'll be directed to the electronics department once it opens, where you'll be able to purchase one Switch 2 or Switch 2 bundle. For more information, check out Target's press release.
StaplesOpening time: 8:00 a.m. local time
Select Staples stores will have the Switch 2 and an unspecified Switch game bundle on a first-come, first-served basis starting on June 5. Most locations open at 8:00 a.m. and there's a limit of one console per customer. See the Staples Switch 2 landing page for participating retailers.
SEE ALSO: 10 Nintendo Switch 2 launch titles I can't wait to play (besides 'Mario Kart World') GameStopOpening time: 3:00 p.m. local time (June 4)
Head to your local GameStop location for a midnight launch party of the Nintendo Switch 2. The event starts at 3 p.m. local time on June 4, so be sure to plan accordingly. Some store locations will be giving away a free can of Red Bull to GameStop Pro members. Head to the GameStop events page for participating retailers.
Sam's ClubOpening time: 10:00 a.m. local time
The Walmart-owned warehouse club will have limited Nintendo Switch 2 Mario Kart World Bundles available on June 5. You must be a Sam's Club member to purchase, and stock is first-come, first-served. Not a member? There's still time to sign up and get 50% off your first year.
CostcoOpening time: 10:00 a.m. local time
Similar to Sam's Club, Costco will have the Nintendo Switch 2 Mario Kart Bundle with a 12-month Switch Online + Expansion Pack membership available on June 5 for Costco members only on a first-come, first-served basis. The retailer will also have the Switch 2 Pro controller on launch day.
WalmartOpening time: 12:00 a.m. ET for Supercenters across PST/MST/Hawaii/Alaska, 6:00 a.m. ET for CT/ET
Walmart said in an Instagram post that it will have consoles for purchase at midnight ET on June 5 in Supercenters across Pacific, Mountain, Hawaii, and Alaska regions of the U.S. and at 6:00 a.m. local time for stores in Central and Eastern regions. However, stock is limited and inventory will vary by location.
Wherever you decide to go, be sure to check in with the store ahead of time to ensure it has Switch 2s in stock and to see what time you can start lining up. Be prepared to arrive early and wait in line if you don't have a preorder. It'll be like waiting in line to buy concert tickets in the ’90s, aka the good old days. Just remember that stocks are very limited, so don't get your hopes too high. If you're 100th in line, you might want to check a different retailer.

The cast of Dimension 20 is already skilled at building their own characters, but what happens when they have to come up with one together?
SEE ALSO: The 'Dimension 20' cast chooses their ultimate Intrepid Heroes squadThat's the challenge Mashable Entertainment Reporter Belen Edwards laid out to Dimension 20: Cloudward, Ho! cast members Brennan Lee Mulligan, Ally Beardsley, Lou Wilson, Siobhan Thompson, and Zac Oyama when they came to the Mashable studio. With a few rolls of the dice, the cast determined their mystery character's class, species, and ability scores. Based on that information alone, they improvised what this new character would look like, how they'd dress, what weapon they'd wield, and more. From there, Mashable Illustrator Ian Moore and Mashable Animator Zain bin Awais brought their creation to life.
Without spoiling anything, let's just say the results of this game are... chaotic. But with the Intrepid Heroes in play, would you expect anything less? Get ready to meet the one and only Treye Snappes.
Watch the full video above to witness Treye in all his glory. (Although really, it's more like mayhem.) Which Dimension 20 campaign do you think he'd fit best in? Could he hang with Fantasy High's Bad Kids or A Starstruck Odyssey's Gunner Channel? Or would he be more of an adversary for the Intrepid Heroes to take down?

Things are heating up in Apple TV+'s sci-fi comedy Murderbot.
At the end of episode 4, Murderbot (Alexander Skarsgård) realized that hostile SecUnits from an unknown enemy had hijacked it with a combat override module that would have forced it to kill the PresAux research team. In order to prevent this, it shot itself. But don't worry, Murderbot is still alive and well — OK, maybe just alive.
SEE ALSO: Does the 'Murderbot' cast relate to Murderbot?In an exclusive clip from the upcoming episode 5, titled "Rogue War Tracker Infinite," Murderbot finds itself under the care of the PresAux team. That includes the ever-suspicious Gurathin (David Dastmalchian), who appears to have had access to Murderbot's internal data while it was unconscious from its injury. Could he have discovered that Murderbot has hacked its governor module?
He's certainly discovered one of Murderbot's other secrets: its obsession with the space soap opera The Rise and Fall of Sanctuary Moon. In the clip above, PresAux's Ratthi (Akshay Khanna) tests Murderbot on its knowledge of the show's deepest cuts, much to Gurathin's disdain. (He thinks the show is "crap," but it might not be a good idea to say that in front of Murderbot.)
With their new knowledge of Murderbot's binging habits, how long will it take for PresAux to learn the rest of Murderbot's secrets?
Murderbot is now streaming on Apple TV+, with new episodes every Friday.

Also present are flashes of The Fantastic Four: First Steps' dual bad guys: Silver Surfer (Julia Garner) and the planet-eating Galactus (Ralph Ineson). He's marked Earth as the next dish in his interplanetary buffet, and it's up to the Fantastic Four to save the world — as a family.
If these stakes have you worried about the Fantastic Four's survival, don't be too alarmed (yet). All four members of the main cast are slated to star in Avengers: Doomsday. Plus, the end-credits scene of Thunderbolts* teased their arrival in the MCU from another dimension. Now, the biggest question The Fantastic Four: First Steps needs to answer is what led these heroes to leave their dimension in the first place.

Opens in a new window Credit: eero Amazon eero 6+ mesh WiFi system $224.99 at AmazonI’m a pretty patient person, but one thing that makes me irrationally angry is a poor WiFi connection, especially when I’m presenting in a meeting or trying to connect to Slack.

SAVE $21.99: As of June 4, the Sony WH-CH520 wireless headphones are on sale for just $38 at Amazon. That's 37% off their list price of $59.99.
Opens in a new window Credit: Sony Sony WH-CH520 wireless headphones $38 at AmazonShopping for new headphones? Be sure to get your priorities straight. Do you want a fancy pair that cancels noise, but costs an arm and a leg, or would you rather have a simple, reliable pair for under $50? While the Sony WH-CH520s may not win any awards for their tech specs, they get the job done. And they're currently 37% off.
As of June 4, the Sony WH-CH520s are just $38 at Amazon — that's $21.99 off their list price of $59.99 and just $2 shy of the record-low price they reached as a Prime Day invite-only deal in July. Grab a pair in black, white, pink, or blue for the discounted rate.
SEE ALSO: The 9 best headphones of 2025 — how do the new Sony XM6 compare?Even thought they're the most basic headphones in Sony's current lineup, the WH-CH520s still offer decent perks. They'll last an impressive 50 hours on a single charge, which is 10 hours longer than the brand-new $450 Sony WH-1000XM6s. Plus, a three-minute fast-charge feature gets you another hour and a half of listening time. They're also lightweight and cozy, plus offer multipoint connection, hands-free calling, and customizable sound quality and profiles on the app. You can pick a preset to match the genre you're listening to, or create your own from scratch.
Obviously the sound quality won't be on par with the WH-1000XM6 headphones, but the WH-CH520s are still from Sony. And if we know anything about Sony, it's that their audio products won't disappoint. To be honest, at only $38, it's hard to have any complaints.

Uber is rolling out an update for senior riders this week, offering a more accessible ride share experience for individuals and families.
Part of Uber's Family profile, the new Senior Accounts can be connected to other riders' accounts for additional safety and payment features. Connected family members can book rides and change account settings on behalf of the rider, and contact the driver while a ride is underway.
SEE ALSO: Digital detox for the next generation, from pouches to phone-free promsThe app will get a smart redesign, too: Riders with Senior Accounts will see larger text, fewer buttons and ride options, and easy-to-follow prompts on screens, the company explained, and family members can track rides in real time. Called Simple Mode, the app experience can be turned on even without adding a Senior Account to a family profile, directly in the user's settings.
"Senior accounts and Simple mode represent an important milestone in Uber’s ongoing commitment to accessible transportation,” said Ashu Manohar, director of product management at Uber. “These features reflect our dedication to designing technology that meets people where they are and supports mobility at every stage of life.”
Credit: UberUber is also adding more payment options to Senior Accounts, including the option to pay with a connected family member’s card or Medicare Flex cards, prepaid debit cards offered under the Medicare Advantage (Part C) plan.
The company's new Senior Accounts are the latest in a series of new upgrades to the company's fleet of drivers, including a recent pilot with the U.S. Army and an expansion of its autonomous vehicle partnership with Waymo.
In May, Uber competitor Lyft launched Lyft Silver, a similar simplified app experience for older riders featuring enlarged text, streamlined ride options, and 24/7 live phone support. Lyft Silver can be added to family accounts and joint wallets, as well as the courtesy ride program Lyft Concierge, which lets others schedule rides on behalf of the rider.
