The AirPods Max dropped 28% to their lowest price on record during Prime Day, making them one of our favorite tech purchases during the two-day shopping event. A week later, they're now even cheaper at $382.70. That's a new record-low price for the fancy Apple headset. "The AirPods Max are stupidly comfy, they sound amazing, look good, and play nice with Apple gadgetry," Senior Editor Stan Schroeder writes. There's just one catch: only the pink pair are down to the all-time low price.

It features Hisense's version of QLED technology, which incorporates a blend of LED backlighting, local dimming, and quantum dot color enhancement for a richer visual appearance that's still budget friendly.

Its analog design features just two knobs — one for temperature and one for time. Just select both, pop in your food, and you're good to go. This 2.6-quart version is pretty small, but if you're only cooking for one or two people, it should get the job done. And at only $34.99, it won't set you back too much. That's a savings of 30% with Prime and its lowest price on record.

Pixel 9 leaks hint at a new 'Pro XL' device: Is a third model in the works?

Mashable - Mon, 07/22/2024 - 12:18

It appears that Google is aiming to further expand the Pixel family.

At least, that's if a post from XDA Forums (as spotted by 9to5Google) is to be believed. The post contains leaked photos of what is purported to be a Google Pixel 9 Pro XL, which would be a new addition to the Pixel portfolio. Google plans to show off its latest line of Pixels at an event on Aug. 13.

SEE ALSO: Google reveals Pixel 9 Pro and Pixel 9 Pro Fold in new videos

In the past year or so, Google has released four Pixel phones: The Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro, the Pixel Fold, and the Pixel 8a. We already know for a fact that Google will show off the Pixel 9 Pro and a new Pro version of the Pixel Fold on Aug. 13. That would normally leave just the regular Pixel 9 (a theoretical Pixel 9a wouldn't launch until next year), but if this leak is true, there will also be a Pixel 9 Pro XL for Google to show off.

There isn't a lot else to glean from this leak, unfortunately. The model posted in the leak apparently has 16GB of RAM and 256GB of storage, as well as a new internal modem courtesy of Samsung, per 9to5Google. It's difficult to tell from the photos without a direct comparison how much bigger it is than the Pixel 9 Pro — or if there are any noteworthy tech spec differences on the inside.

But still, if you've been wanting a bigger Pro Pixel, this might be your year.

Sure, you could argue that everything’s digital now, but I never had a syllabus that didn’t require at least a few pages of printing, and I’m sure there are plenty of other documents students need to get on paper — no matter their field or level of study. And having your own printer is way better than running down to the student center or library every time you need something printed.

Right now, tons of HP printers are on sale at Amazon. You can get up to 41% off, and with prices as low as $49.99, these deals are hard to pass up.

Here are our top picks from the sale:

Grab a Hisense 50-inch QLED 4K TV for an all-time low price

Prime Day is long gone, but that doesn't mean the deals are over. You can still get some of the best TV deals right now, if you've somehow missed the shopping holiday and want to find a TV deal now. 4K TV deals are available year-round, but not all are worth getting, and if you're on a budget, you might want to get this one.

As of July 22, the Hisense 50-inch Class U6HF Series QLED 4K TV is on sale for $279.99 at Amazon. That's a discount of 23%, or $84 off.

We've seen 55-inch TVs from Hisense at a lower price than this 50-inch TV deal. However, smaller TV sizes are not too common today, so a 50-inch TV at this price isn't bad, especially if you have a smaller room. This is also the lowest price we've seen on this particular model, which makes it a good time to buy it.

In addition to the smaller size, which means sharper picture at the same resolution, this TV also has QLED technology. What that means is that you get smaller lighting zones with the backlight, leading to better local contrast. So, the dark scenes will look better on this TV.

QLED, or Quantum dot LED TVs are a step up from LED and OLED models. They give a stellar price-to-performance ratio currently, so you're getting better value than an OLED TV. QLED TVs also give you the best picture quality without significant risk of burn-in. This particular model also comes pre-loaded with Amazon's Fire TV, which is an excellent smart TV platform, so you don't have to worry about the UI and app support.

'House of the Dragon' Season 2, episode 6: Did Alys Rivers kill Grover Tully?

Mashable - Mon, 07/22/2024 - 10:58

Who are the most powerful characters in House of the Dragon?

Of course you've got your obvious ones like the rulers and dragon riders, but there's another MVP in Season 2 who seems to be getting more important by the day: Alys Rivers (Gayle Ranking), the witch messing with Daemon's (Matt Smith's) head in Harrenhal.

Up until recently her mystique has been confined to the castle walls, but in episode 6 Daemon finally asks for her help outright. A few days later Grover Tully, Lord of Riverrun and thorn in the side of Daemon's attempted Riverlands conquest, is dead.

So: did Alys kill him?

SEE ALSO: 'House of the Dragon' Season 2, episode 6: Who is Seasmoke's new rider? What happened to Grover Tully in episode 6?

Lord of Riverrun, and the most important figure in swaying the allegiances of the ever-crucial Riverlands, Grover Tully, has been sick throughout Season 2. But in episode 6, we finally get word that he's passed away.

"Lord Grover is dead," Castellan Simon Strong (Simon Russell Beale) tells Daemon at the episode's end. "He'd been ill, of course. Riverrun's maesters have been at their wits' end. Our own healer, Alys Rivers, volunteered her renowned skills — she plied her craft, but there was naught more to be done."

At this, Daemon smiles, as if he suspects there was more to it than that. So was there?

Did Alys Rivers kill Lord Tully?

The short answer? Almost certainly yes. Lord Tully was a thorn in Daemon's side because his condition meant that Daemon was unable to approach him directly to ask for his allegiance.

Earlier in the episode, Daemon asks Alys Rivers for her counsel on how to keep the Riverlords in line. In response, she reminds him of how important Lord Tully is.

"Lord Tully is their Lord Paramount," she says. "Without him they will never raise their banners as one."

"Then I can do nothing," responds Daemon.

"You...no," replies Alys.

Moments later, when Daemon finally asks for her help directly, she tells him to do nothing for now.

"In three days' time," she says, "the winds will shift."

The implication? Alys accepted Daemon's request for help, travelled to Riverrun under the guise of trying to help heal Lord Tully, and then finished him off.

New episodes of House of the Dragon air Sundays at 9 p.m. ET on HBO and Max.

If you didn’t get the chance to splurge during Prime Day, you might be in luck — Apple’s most-coveted and most expensive noise-cancelling headphones, the Airpods Max, have hit a new record low price on Amazon.

Just in time for back-to-school season, the AirPods Max are currently on sale for $382.70, down from $549. That’s $166.30 off the regular price, making this the lowest price we've ever seen for Apple's premium over-the-ear headphones. During Prime Day, the AirPods Max were discounted to $394.99, but this deal beats that by over $12.

While the AirPods Max may not be everyone’s cup of tea, given their high price tag, they are some of the best noise-cancelling headphones on the market. They have remarkable sound quality, effective active noise cancellation, and a sleek design in a variety of color options. According to Mashable’s review, the AirPods Max “check off almost all the boxes for what makes an excellent pair of headphones: great sound quality, ideal battery life, easy controls, and a stylish design."

'House of the Dragon' Season 2, episode 6: Who is Daeron, Alicent's other son?

Mashable - Mon, 07/22/2024 - 09:29

It's easy to forget, but Alicent Hightower (Olivia Cooke) actually has four children in House of the Dragon. Just take a look at the Targaryen family tree: We have Aegon II (Tom Glynn-Carney), Aemond (Ewan Mitchell) and Helaena (Phia Saban), of course, but there's also another son who's never appeared in the show: Daeron.

You could be forgiven for thinking this spare kid was all but cut out, but after episode 6 it looks like he might finally be getting a look in.

So who exactly is Daeron, where is he, and how might he feature in the rest of Season 2?

SEE ALSO: 'House of the Dragon' cinematographer talks dragons, 'Succession' inspiration, and more Who is Daeron?

Alicent's third son isn't in the show because, unlike his brothers and sister, he doesn't reside in the Red Keep. Daeron was sent to ward at Old Town when he was young, where he's been raised with the rest of the Hightower clan.

He's been mentioned in passing before – and he features in the book, Fire & Blood – but it's not until episode 6 that we really learn all that much about him.

What do we learn about Daeron in episode 6?

When Alicent says goodbye to her brother, Ser Gwayne (Freddie Fox), she asks him about Daeron. We learn from Gwayne that he's sixteen years old, before the knight gives Alicent's third son the following, fairly glowing review.

Credit: Ollie Upton/HBO

"He's stalwart," Gwayne says. "Clever. As adept with his lute as he is with his sword. And a feature in the fancies of many a young lady, I'd wager. He's kind."

This final tidbit is the one Alicent latches onto. "That's good," she replies. "Kindness is a quality I've found lacking in his brothers."

Could Daeron be important later on in Season 2?

Judging by the trailer that's just been released for episode 7, it seems the answer might be yes. He only gets a brief mention, but it's a significant one.

"Prince Daeron's dragon has taken to wing," says a voice in the preview, while we see shots of Aemond looking concerned at a Small Council meeting. "The Hightower host will be unstoppable."

So we know Daeron has a dragon, which already makes him kind of a big deal — but why does a mention of the Hightowers have the Small Council looking worried? They're on the same side after all, aren't they?

On paper, yes, but don't forget Aegon II recently banished his grandfather and former Hand, Otto Hightower (Rhys Ifans), from the Red Keep — and that Otto hasn't been returning Alicent's letters. Is it possible that he and his other grandson, Daeron, have been plotting something from Old Town?

We'll have to wait and see, but it is worth noting that Daeron definitely won't be appearing on screen this season. As showrunner Ryan Condal confirmed to Variety, he hasn't been cast yet.

New episodes of House of the Dragon air Sundays at 9 p.m. ET on HBO and Max.

CrowdStrike outage is still causing hundreds of flight cancellations daily

Mashable - Mon, 07/22/2024 - 08:17

Three days after a faulty update in cybersecurity company CrowdStrike's software caused a global IT outage, thousands of flights are still being cancelled or delayed.

The CrowdStrike outage may feel like distant history as so many things happened in the last couple of days, including President Biden announcing he's dropping out of the 2024 presidential race.

But the issue, which impacted an estimated 8.5 million Windows computers, is still causing disruptions in numerous sectors, with airlines being among the most impacted.

According to Reuters, Delta Air Lines had to cancel 1,250 flights on Sunday, and an additional 305 flights on Monday, with the total number of canceled flights being at more than 5,000.

Tweet may have been deleted

"As we continue operational recovery, we apologize for the disruptions many customers are experiencing. Canceling a flight is always a last resort & not taken lightly," Delta wrote in a post on X. "We’re notifying customers about delays & cancellations in their itinerary via the Fly Delta app & text message & offering re-booking options that can be managed online."

United Airlines is another airline who was hit hard by the CrowdStrike outage, but it recovered better, having cancelled 266 flights on Sunday, Reuters reported.

Tweet may have been deleted

According to FlightAware, there has been a total of 771 flight delays globally on Monday, and a total of 1,084 cancellations today, 745 of which are within, into, or out of the United States.

Take Apple CarPlay wireless with this adapter for 44% off

Mashable - Mon, 07/22/2024 - 05:00

TL;DR: Go wireless with this adapter for cars that have a wired Apple CarPlay connection — on sale for $49.99 (reg. $89.99).

If you have CarPlay in your car, chances are you're already interested in modernizing your gadgets. But you may have gone with the wired version, either because the wireless one hadn't been invented yet, or you preferred it at the time. But what if you could have the option to do either one whenever you feel like it?

The Ottocast Wireless CarPlay Adapter is an open-box model (which is still a new item, it just means it was returned, repackaged, or was leftover inventory) that automatically connects to your iPhone within seven seconds of ignition, and it also supports WiFi, voice control, steering wheel buttons, the touchscreen, and knob controls. For a limited time, it's on sale for $49.99.

You can connect this adapter to your car via the USB Type-A to C or Type-C to C cables that are included, and then have your phone free of wires. You don't even have to take your iPhone out of your pocket or purse. It works on car models from 2016-2024 and is compatible with iOS 10 and above. (Check out this video to see how it works.)

This adapter connects your iPhone to 5G WiFi for fast performance, as well as Bluetooth, all without the need for a cord connecting your phone to the car. Once it connects, CarPlay takes care of all of the display, voice controls, and hands-free operation for you. 

And if you wanted to switch back to using your regular wired version (let's say you wanted to plug it in to charge it), you could just unplug your adapter. The beauty of this product is having the choice.

Easy and convenient to use, this handy Ottocast Wireless CarPlay Adapter (Open Box) is available on sale for $49.99, down 44% from its regular price of $89.99.

With the Maxfree S2 monitor extender — available for $179.99 for an open-box model — you can extend your laptop display across three 13- to17-inch screens.

Each monitor provides vibrant colors and crisp details, making your workflow smoother and your Netflix binge-watching sessions even better. With adjustable settings, you can customize the display to your liking, ensuring a comfortable viewing experience all day long. This extender's compact design doesn’t add bulk to your laptop, so you can still slide it into your bag easily.

The "open-box" status of this product just means it was returned by a customer and repackaged, or was excess inventory, but it is a brand-new item with zero cosmetic flaws.
