While there are no big shopping events this week, it feels like there may as well be with how good these deals are. This week, Apple AirPods Max are down to $399.99, just $5 more than their lowest price ever, and now the MacBook Air with M3 chip has hit its lowest price ever at $849.98.

The MacBook Air with M3 chip is currently our favorite MacBook. Mashable's Tech Editor, Kimberly Gedeon, found that the latest M3 MacBook Air performed 15% faster in our Blender test and 20% faster in our Geekbench 6 test than the previous MacBook Air with M2 chip. While we usually recommend the MacBook Pro for creators, these tests signal that the M3 MacBook Air is a worthy alternative.

Ahead of back-to-school season, the 13-inch MacBook Air with M3 chip is conveniently down to $849.98. That gives you $249.02 off for 23% savings. It comes loaded with 8GB RAM and 256SSD, perfectly suitable for the student in your life.

The software company said in a letter that Delta Air Lines had falsely blamed Microsoft for its decision to cancel thousands of flights after a tech outage.

The company claimed that members of the Global Alliance for Responsible Media coordinated to dissuade brands from advertising on X.

SAVE 27%: Apple AirPods Max are on sale for $399.99 (reg. $549) at Amazon, putting $149.01 back in your pocket.

As September approaches, so does the school year. Back-to-school season means shopping for freshly sharpened pencils, new notebooks, and any tech a thriving student needs. While big summer sales like Prime Day have passed, deals are popping up to give a little extra savings on big ticket items like headphones, tablets, and more.

The latest deal to catch our eye is a sale on the super popular Apple AirPods Max. Typically priced at $549, these headphones are easily some of the most expensive we've tested, making their excellent audio quality and chic look out of reach for many. However, now that they've dipped below $400, we're all in on the AirPods Max.

Like their earbuds counterpart, the Apple AirPods Max easily connect to iOS devices, making these a great purchase for those living in the Apple ecosystem. These over-the-ear headphones are stylish with a modern, oversize design, however, our reviewer noted that they might even be too big for those with smaller heads. They deliver top-notch audio, including spatial audio for those seeking surround sound on the go, and great active noise cancellation.

Right now, you can purchase the Apple AirPods Max for $399.99 at Amazon, just $5 shy of their lowest price ever. This gets you $149.01 off for 27% in savings.

You're nice and comfortable on the couch. You've got your snacks, you've got your ice cold drink. Maybe your pet is curled up beside you. Then the unthinkable happens: someone knocks on your door. Not only do you have no clue who it could be, but now you've got to get up, disrupt your plans, and see who it is.

That's just one dilemma a home security camera or a video doorbell could solve. If you haven't yet hooked up your home with one of these gadgets, it's always a good idea to do so. You never quite know what's lurking around out there, after all. And beyond the laziness factor, you want to make sure you're keeping abreast of everything going on outside your door. Home security cameras and video doorbells are a great way to accomplish that.

There are a few great deals on security essentials going on this week, and if you're looking to outfit your home with them so you can feel a bit better about being on your own or just being able to see what's going on outside your window, you might want to scoop a few of them up now before they're no longer available. From a great home security camera to an affordable option that you can put anywhere in your home, these deals are some of the best we've found. Don't miss out!

The Arlo Pro 5S 2K Spotlight Camera is the perfect solution for keeping an eye out on the world around you both day and night. It captures video in 2K HDR with 12x zoom, so you won't miss anything. It also has a 160-degree field of view so even if the area you have to mount it with isn't ideal, you can still see more of your surroundings. It has color night vision and an integrated spotlight for when you need additional light to work with, and it's all set up easily and wirelessly, no need for cords. You will have to play for the Arlo Secure plan if you want additional features, though this cam does come with a free trial with 30-day video cloud storage, 24/7 emergency response, and other options, so keep in mind you'll need to pony up a bit more per month to use this camera despite its hefty discount.

The end of summer isn't one of our top three times of year to buy a TV on sale, but that doesn't mean it's a complete ghost town when it comes to TV deals. Regardless of what the calendar says, it's always a good time to finally ditch that glitchy 2017 LED that has become the bane of your existence.

We've pulled the TV deals worth jumping on during the first week of August, including a better version of our absolute favorite Prime Day TV deal (plus several other cheap QLED TVs), as well as new record-low pricing on 2024 OLED and QLED models from Samsung and LG.

We did not have "best Prime Day TV deal still on sale weeks later" on our August bingo card, but here we are. The deal has simply moved from Amazon to Walmart, and it's technically a better deal: You can now score the 65-inch TCL Q6 QLED for $348 versus $389.99 during Prime Day.

No, TCL's Q6 series aren't the most premium QLED TVs on the market, or even from TCL — but they're also not the most basic QLED TVs out there. The Q6 gets brighter than the Q5, making HDR worthwhile by boosting color accuracy with that extra layer of quantum dots sandwiched between the screen and LED backlights. If you're looking for an affordable way to level up your football watching experience this season, this is it.

A laptop is a lifeline for many of us. Whether you work from home, own your own business, or are heading back to school, a laptop is probably necessary. Some tasks are so much easier to accomplish on a laptop like making a spreadsheet, checking financial info, or booking your next vacation.

Although Prime Day was last month and we're waiting on the announcement of the next Prime Day, you can still get a sweet deal on a new laptop.

During the week of Aug. 6, you can score some serious savings on laptops from brands like Apple, HP, Lenovo, Acer, and more. Here are some of our top picks this week.

The MacBook Air 15-inch is our current top overall pick for most people who are looking for a MacBook. Apple introduced several upgrades with this newest model including support for Wi-Fi 6 and support for two external monitors, but only when the lid is shut.

Thanks to today's deal, Amazon has this 15-inch model on sale for $1,049.98 which is a 19% discount off the list price of $1,299. This price also makes it the lowest we've ever seen at Amazon, so if you've been considering the MacBook Air 15-inch, today is a great time to snag it.

For starters, this HP Chromebook Plus can support Wi-Fi 6 while offering dual hinges so you can use it in tent or tablet mode. It's also travel friendly, weighing just a bit over three pounds.

Once again, the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra — aka "the best Android phone," according to Mashable Tech Editor Kim Gedeon — has hit a new record-low price. Beating out its Prime Day price, the 256GB, unlocked version is down to just $949 as of Aug. 6. That's 27% in savings. The phone was just released earlier this year and it packs a bunch of neat AI features, a durable titanium design, and a rear telephoto lens with truly insane zoom capabilities. It's also a close rival to the iPhone 15 Pro Max (and maybe even better in certain categories) if you're in the market for a new phone.

Apple is at it again. The "stupidly comfy" AirPods Max are back on sale for just $399.99 — that's just $5 shy of their Prime Day price. While definitely overpriced on a regular day, Mashable Senior Editor Stan Schroeder insists that they "sound amazing, look good, and play nice with Apple gadgetry." With a 27% discount, we're much more likely to grab a pair.

Launched last summer, the Shark SmoothStyle is essentially a fancier version of the Revlon One-Step. It serves as a round hot air brush at its core, but also packs some extra features. You can use it wet or dry to style your hair in one go without frying it. And the ceramic-coated plates will prevent it from damaging your precious strands. Usually, it goes for $100, but you can get the device itself and a storage bag (a $119.99 value) for just $79.99 as of Aug. 6.

Need an extra hand in the cleaning department? The Roborock Q Revo offers both vacuuming and mopping, making it one helluva companion for your home. Plus, it's back on sale for its all-time low Prime Day pricing. While it may not be the top robovac in the brand's lineup, it still packs 5500Pa extreme suction, dual spinning mops, reactive tech obstacle avoidance, smart suggestions, no-go zones, voice-commands and shortcuts, self-washing, drying, emptying, and refilling features, and more. As of Aug. 6, it's on sale for just $659.99 — that's about 27% in savings.

$424.99 Save $195.00 Get Deal

While our friends at PCMag (which is owned by Mashable's publisher, Ziff Davis) called Samsung's T5 EVO portable SSD a "tough sell" at full price, we're much more inclined to recommend it with its current discount. "The T5 EVO is a good (though not cost-effective) upgrade to a spinning hard drive, giving users a boost in both speed and capacity," PCMag's review states, but "you may want to hold off on buying it until it goes on sale." The 4TB option is usually $424.99, but you can scoop it up for only $229.99 as of Aug. 6 — that's 46% in savings and its lowest price on record.

Twitch is officially adding a DJ category, following the launch of its DJ program to tackle a string of copyright hurdles for streamers, artists, and record labels.

On Thursday, the streaming platform will launch the new category, which will sit alongside Twitch's existing categories like Just Chatting, Fortnite, Counter-Strike, League of Legends, and more. Twitch already has a Music category, but DJ will be its own thing.

DJs within Twitch's DJ program have access to a catalogue of copyright-approved music to use in their livestreams — there's also a restricted artist list you can check. Plus, Twitch says it splits the cost of music rights with streaming DJs who monetise their streams (more on that below). Streamers in the DJ category will also have access to promo opportunities on the Twitch homepage as well as enabling sponsorship.

Twitch will mark the addition of the new DJ category with a 24-hour livestream on Aug. 8 beginning 8 a.m. BST / 3 a.m. ET, featuring performances by Zedd, Aluna, Sofi Tukker, BAYNK, Sam Feldt, and more, which you can join through the Twitch homepage.

"Today's DJ category launch is a major moment for Twitch, the music industry, and our creators," Twitch CEO Dan Clancy said in a statement. "There is something special in the way DJs on Twitch introduce music to their listeners. It’s personal and it’s community-oriented, so we've built a stable, long-term home where they can invest in building their brand and community."

Twitch announced its DJ program in June this year as a partnership with major labels including Universal Music Group, Warner Music Group, Sony Music, and independent labels, and other rights holders. In a blog post, the company said the number of DJs on Twitch "has more than quadrupled" since 2020 and the pandemic lockdowns — drag shows also saw a rise on Twitch during this time.

DJs streaming their sets online, whether on Twitch or other platforms, have a tough time keeping their sets intact; they often face bans, muted streams, and takedowns for using copyrighted music. With its DJ program crafted in partnership with labels, Twitch seems to be making things more official to ensure compensation for artists, help DJs keep their sets live, and avoid a plethora of silent streams sitting on its platform.

In June, Twitch detailed how it will be managing revenue between DJs, labels and artists, and itself as the hosting company. What's not detailed is exactly how big a cut the labels will take. Here's what appears on Twitch's blog:

When DJs use music created by others, it’s important that any revenue generated on Twitch also be shared with those musicians...

To cover the cost of the music used in DJ live-streams, we will set aside a portion of earnings generated by DJ channels to be paid to musicians via music companies that represent them. These costs will vary based on how a channel monetizes.

For most streamers, Twitch will be splitting these costs 50/50 with the streamer, although initially Twitch will absorb more of the cost. Twitch is covering the costs for DJs who aren’t yet monetizing. Non monetizing streamers will not be financially impacted.

Twitch also has a one-year subsidy for DJs wanting to monetise but easing into the platform — you can read more about this on Twitch's website.

How much do DJs actually make on Twitch? It's hard to get real numbers, but Twitch streamer and YouTuber Nick Spinelli detailed a few earnings for the top earners from 2019 to 2021, drawing from the leak site TwitchPayouts — and it ranges from $70,000 to $400,000. Take that with a grain of salt, but that's quite the number.

In case you somehow haven't heard, the Olympics are in Paris this year, and it seems like everyone's using the games to level up their dating game and hopefully find a new (athletic) partner in the city of love.

Tinder's launched an ad campaign for the Olympics, encouraging users to "connect with pro athletes" via the Passport Mode feature. Apparently, the terms "Olympian" and "athlete" have seen a significant increase in mentions on the app too.

But Grindr's taking a different approach: Instead of promoting hookups with athletes, Grindr's focusing on creating a safe digital space for LGBTQ+ athletes, especially those from countries where their identity could put them at risk. This isn't new for Grindr either; they implemented similar safety measures during the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics.

SEE ALSO: How to unblock Grindr

For users within the Olympic Village, Grindr is disabling location-based features like "Explore" and "Roam," and making the "show distance" feature opt-in. The company has also implemented safeguards like blocking screenshots to prevent unintentional outings.

Other privacy controls include the ability to send unlimited disappearing messages and unsend messages after they've been sent (even for free users). Grindr's also disabling private videos within the Olympic Village and sending out weekly reminders about potential risks, just to keep everyone safe and informed.

The app also noted that the only ads that will appear on Grindr within the village will be from Grindr for Equality, which promotes health and safety resources.

"You won't see third-party advertisements — only Grindr for Equality public service announcements to help keep users informed and safe," Grindr announced.

It's unfortunate that we’d even need these types of safety measures, but the reality is that in some parts of the world, LGBTQ+ individuals still face severe discrimination, persecution, and even the threat of violence. Hopefully, with Grindr taking these proactive steps, LGBTQ+ athletes can connect without fear of being outed or targeted.

House of the Dragon Season 2 may have felt a bit on the short side, but at least we know they won't be delaying the action forever.

During a post-finale press conference on Monday, showrunner Ryan Condal confirmed that the show will be finishing with Season 4 — and that Season 3 is starting up production early next year.

In terms of length, it also sounds as though eight-episode seasons may also be the new norm.

“I haven’t had discussions with HBO about it," said Condal, per Variety. "I would just anticipate the cadence of the show, from a dramatic storytelling perspective, will continue to be the same from Season 2 on.”

Speaking on the way Season 2 ended — basically a whole lot of setup for battles to come, and not much action — Condal said that they're trying to give the upcoming Battle of the Gullet plenty of breathing space, and that the action won't be too far away.

"We we were trying to give the Gullet, which is arguably the most anticipated — well, I would say maybe the second-most-anticipated — action event of Fire & Blood, trying to give it the time and the space that it deserves. Obviously, as anybody that’s seen the finale, we're building to that event. That event will happen very shortly in terms of the storytelling of House of the Dragon," Condal said.

"Based on what we know now, it should be the biggest thing to date that we've pulled off," he continued. "And we just wanted to have the time, the space to do that at a level that is going to excite and satisfy the fans and in the way it’s deserved."

House of the Dragon Season 2 is now streaming on Max.

If you're looking to switch to Safari but just need that one special feature to give you a push, we might have just the thing: Distraction Control.

It's a new feature for Safari that went live in the latest iOS 18, iPadOS 18, and macOS Sequoia developer betas (via MacRumors) — somewhat surprisingly, we might add, as Apple hasn't previously announced it.

The idea is simple: With Distraction Control, you can hide "distracting" parts of web pages. It's not an ad blocker, meaning it will not remove dynamic ads from a page. Think of it more as a way to get rid of some really annoying part of a web page that you frequent, like a login prompt. It is persistent, though; if the item you hid didn't change, it will remain hidden even if you reload the page.

SEE ALSO: Apple will upgrade every Mac model to M4

To try it out, open a web page in Safari, tap on the Page Menu icon (the one in the upper left corner), and then tap on "Hide Distracting Items". You then have to manually choose the part of the page you want to hide. As you do so, Apple will warn you that "hiding distracting items will not permanently remove ads and other content that update frequently."

Bonus: applying the feature does not only remove it from sight, but blows it away with a pretty cool animation. Well done, Apple.

Hiding parts of webpages manually might sound like a tall order, and it probably is in many cases, but I can imagine this feature being useful to someone who has a fairly small number of websites they really love, and just wants to have the best possible experience there.

Distraction Control is currently only live in the latest developer betas, which are rolling out to eligible users now; the feature is not available in the public beta yet, though I imagine it will happen pretty soon.
