My purse used to resemble a tech graveyard: A tumbleweed of charging cords and a hefty power bank that weighed me down like an anchor. But the other day, my shoulder was so sore from carrying around my bag, and my cord was so frayed my phone wouldn’t even charge, so I ordered this wireless iPhone charger.
If you remember Apple’s MagSafe Battery Pack (they discontinued it), it’s almost identical to that, except it’s way cheaper. You can get one for only $34.97 (reg. $119.95) through September 3 in white, black, or light blue.
This gadget keeps my phone alive no matter whatInstead of digging through my purse to find my brick of a power bank, I just grab this small battery pack and stick it to the back of my phone. When I’m on the subway after work, using my car mount, or sitting at a restaurant, it's so nice not to worry about my ugly, frayed cord getting in the way.
I have the iPhone 13, but my friends with Androids can also use it as a portable wireless charging pad since it supports Qi-enabled devices. I’m everyone’s favorite friend when their phone is about to die.
Something important to note, though, is that if your case isn’t MagSafe-compatible, it won’t magnetically stick. So, if that’s important to you, you’ll have to get one, grab one of those sticky magnetic rings to make your case compatible (which is what I did), or pop your case off when you charge.
While I love this sleek, minimal wireless charger, my old clunker wins in terms of battery capacity. With 5,000mAh on board, I get about one and a half iPhone charges before I have to recharge this battery, but it’s so incredibly lightweight that I think it’s worth the effort.

Your binoculars, but better (and cooler)Picture this: You’re venturing down a new trail, and you hear a twig snap. Is it Bigfoot? A deer? Guess you’ll never know — unless you pull out your new binoculars and take a closer look. With 10x optical zoom, you can see almost 1,000 feet away.
Better yet, when something inevitably catches your eye, you can freeze the moment in time by clicking the shutter. Your 1080p photos or videos are saved to the included 32GB TF card, so you can easily share them online.
When night rolls around, your view won’t be compromised. Since you have night vision, you’re basically an owl now. You can use the infrared illuminator during dusk or in complete darkness and see almost as far away as you would in the daylight. Imagine everything you’ll spot — like an owl hunting for prey, scavenging porcupines, or Bigfoot. Okay, probably not that last one, but it's fun to hope.

TL;DR: Save 76% on a Babbel lifetime subscription through September 3 and learn up to 14 new languages.
Babbel didn’t just teach me French…it helped me meet the love of my life. I was in a little café in Paris, and a beautiful man came up and introduced himself to me — in French.
Thankfully, I had downloaded the language-learning app before my friend's bachelorette trip to Paris. So I understood him. Mostly. The sparks flew instantly. I was so lucky to have stumbled across that Babbel lifetime deal when I had. It was only $139.97, compared to $599, and I couldn’t find a better price anywhere else.
How French lessons became a love storyAfter Louis and I met at the café, my friend kept calling Babbel the cupid of language-learning apps. I didn’t know how fluent I could become from an app, but with Louis’s phone number in my pocket, I was determined to give it a chance.
I set a goal on Babbel to practice for 20 minutes daily and become as fluent as possible. Babbel has more than just the basic greetings — I learned to talk about my job, order in a bar, discuss environmental issues, and buy theater tickets.
But I was more than a little nervous for my date with Louis. What if I couldn’t understand him? Or worse, what if he couldn’t understand me? Babbel’s speech-recognition technology helped ease my anxiety (a little) by assuring me I was somewhat on the right track. Louis just told me I had an American accent.
When I got home, Louis and I promised to keep in touch. I took some live lessons through Babbel. While these are an additional cost, you get two free ones with this lifetime deal, which were tremendously helpful in boosting my confidence before Louis visited me in New York.
I’ve been using Babbel for about a year now, and when I saw that the lifetime subscription price was back down I had to encourage you to try it for yourself. You never know what doors it could open.

Then, the drone flies itself in altitude hold mode, which keeps the drone steady. Take pictures or record videos from the 4K 90-degree front camera with the remote control. You could get some insane aerial shots of sunset landscapes or city views. Or try the 120-degree wide-angle bottom camera and gesture controls. This lets you make palm gestures or fists to take photos and videos, like group pictures of the whole family or action shots for TikTok.

If you're watching Kaos closely, you'll have the whole thing spoiled for you in five minutes. And if you're reading this article, you'll have the whole thing spoiled for you all over again.
In the first episode of Charlie Covell's Netflix series about the Greek myths, Eurydice (Aurora Perrineau) meets Cassandra (Billie Piper) at a supermarket, exchanging a few words with her in the cereal aisle. Moments later outside, Riddy sees Cassandra being apprehended by a security guard for shoplifting, a situation Riddy deescalates by paying for Cassandra's stolen cat food. But if you listen to what Cassandra says at this moment, she basically spoils the whole show.
"Everyone steals," she hisses. "Even the gods. Especially the gods. They're stealing our souls."
Problem is, no one ever listens to Cassandra. It's her whole thing.
SEE ALSO: 'Kaos' review: Can Netflix’s Greek myth series go the distance?The prophet and Trojan princess of Greek mythology is said to have been pursued by Apollo, the sun god. He granted Cassandra the gift of prophecy, but when she didn't want to go on a date with him (ugh, entitled men), he added a cursed proviso to her talent. Though Cassandra would be able to warn people of what was coming, no one would believe her prophecies. "She shrieked and shouted out through all the city," Homer writes in The Iliad of Cassandra warning the Trojans about the coming sacking of their city. Turns out, the Ancient Greeks already knew the agony of women not being believed.
In this moment in Kaos, when Cassandra tells Eurydice the gods are stealing human souls, it's absolutely accurate, as the series reveals later. Hades' all-important Frame in the Underworld doesn't generate Renewal (reincarnation) as people on Earth are told it does; instead, their souls are sucked up into Olympus' water supply, to be drunk by the greedy gods for their restorative powers.
And though it takes the entire series for Riddy and her newfound fav Caeneus (Misia Butler) to figure it out, Cassandra tried to tell us all along. "Nobody wants to know!" she cries. "Why won't anyone listen?"
How to watch: Kaos is now streaming on Netflix.
Some 480 million miles away, an ocean — harboring perhaps twice the water of Earth's seas — sloshes beneath the icy surface of Europa. NASA's going there.
This moon of Jupiter has long intrigued planetary scientists, as a number of missions have swooped by the world's cracked, icy crust. Now, for the first time, a spacecraft is dedicated to investigating the moon. It's slated to launch in October.
"Almost time to spread our wings!" NASA posted online this week. "At @NASAKennedy, our spacecraft has been outfitted with its solar array 'wings.' They're not only huge, but strong enough to withstand the harsh conditions around Jupiter's intriguing moon Europa."
SEE ALSO: NASA scientist viewed first Voyager images. What he saw gave him chills.What's more, the space agency has confirmed that a crucial part of Europa Clipper's infrastructure — the transistors that regulate the craft's electricity — just passed tests. Earlier this year, an agency evaluation raised concerns that intense levels of radiation around Jupiter could impair the mission.
"The Europa Clipper mission team recently conducted extensive testing and analysis of transistors that help control the flow of electricity on the spacecraft. Analysis of the results suggests the transistors can support the baseline mission," NASA wrote on Aug. 28. (The baseline mission means flying by Europa nearly 50 times between 2031 and 2034, which will provide almost complete reconnaissance of the Jovian moon.)
Europa's cracked, icy surface as captured by the Juno spacecraft in 2022. Credit: Image data: NASA / JPL-Caltech / SwRI / MSSS // Image processing: Kevin M. Gill CC BY 3.0 Tweet may have been deletedThe spacecraft is giant. It's "the largest spacecraft NASA has ever developed for a planetary mission," the agency explained. When its solar-array wings fold out in space, the over 110-foot (30.5-meter) craft will be longer than an NBA basketball court. The large panels are necessary because the distant Jovian region only receives three to four percent of the sunlight that Earth receives.
"At Jupiter, Europa Clipper’s arrays will together provide roughly 700 watts of electricity, about what a small microwave oven or a coffee maker needs to operate," NASA explained. "On the spacecraft, batteries will store the power to run all of the electronics, a full payload of science instruments, communications equipment, the computer, and an entire propulsion system that includes 24 engines."
A bevy of cameras, ground-penetrating radar, spectrometers, and beyond will scan the world below for water, eruptions of water, and the composition of Europa's ice. Beneath the ice, for example, there might be evidence that Europa hosts hydrothermal vents on its seafloor. On our planet, life teems around these deep-ocean vents.
"Beyond Earth, Europa is considered one of the most promising places where we might find currently habitable environments in our solar system," NASA said.
The huge spacecraft's launch opportunities open on Oct. 10, 2024, and after looping through the inner solar system, will arrive at Jupiter in 2030.
The observations will be unprecedented. But even more exploration could follow: A potential follow-up mission, called Europa Lander, will settle down on this extraterrestrial world and drill into the still-mysterious ice.

GrotesquerieRyan Murphy. Niecy Nash-Betts. Travis Kelce. Three names we didn't predict being in the same project, but Grotesquerie threatens to shake up more than that. The American Horror Story and Pose creator's upcoming series is a grisly 10-episode crime drama that digs into a series of religious horror happenings in a small town.

She's helped by nun and journalist Sister Megan, played by Micaela Diamond, who also has her secrets. And it's not clear who Travis Kelce is playing at this point, but he'll inevitably bring a few more Taylor Swift fans into the Murphyverse. Written and created by Murphy, Jon Robin Baitz, and Joe Baken, Grotesquerie is inevitably going to be all kinds of fucked up, so ready yourselves. — S.C.

Her sibling/co-host (Succession's Justine Lupe) isn't thrilled about him and his gawky older brother (Veep's Timothy Simons) whole vibe — especially when the sisters are on the brink of a big development deal.

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.
