Somehow, the list of household chores grows during the spring and summer. While we're mostly in hibernation over the winter, the warm weather means heading back into the yard. Unfortunately, there's maintenance to be done out there. If you're not excited about another season of mowing the lawn, consider jumping on this Amazon deal today.

As of April 29, the Mova Lidax Ultra 2000 robot lawn mower is on sale at Amazon for $1,399, marked down from the standard price of $1,799. That works out to a $400 savings from a 22% discount. It's the lowest price we've ever seen at Amazon. As a bonus, Amazon is throwing in a free Mova Robotic Lawn Mower Garage which ordinarily costs $169.

Like the robot vacuum and mops we have inside to keep the floors clean, the Mova Lidax Ultra 2000 robot lawn mower will map your desired mowing area. After that, you can use the app to customize preferences like cutting lengths and the mowing schedule. You can also create zones within your yard and base schedules off those zones. The Mova is even capable of managing two separate maps, a feature that's ideal for homes with a front and back yard that are disconnected. This also works for anyone who owns two properties.

Mova incorporated the ability to choose between grass heights of 1.2 inches up to 3.9 inches. It's designed to mow the lawn in a "U" shaped path, and it'll return to its charging base should the battery run low. Once it's charged up, it can resume mowing where it left off. It's even designed to be capable of mowing in low-light situations.

In case you're worried, the Mova Ultra 2000 has built-in theft protection and will send an alert if it moves outside of the mapped area. You can also check in on real-time tracking for the mower in the app.

In addition to the robot mower itself, Amazon is throwing in a free garage for the robot that covers both the mower and its recharging base. The garage provides protection from harsh conditions like sun or rain, and Mova noted this addition can help extend the robot's life. Ordinarily, the garage costs $169, but it's free today with purchase of the Mova Lidax Ultra 2000 robot lawn mower.

Before the grass gets out of control this spring, enlist the help of the Mova Lidax Ultra 2000 robot lawn mower. It's on sale for the best price we've ever spotted at Amazon and it comes with the free garage today. You'll be able to cross one more item off the chore list while earning the title of the most tech-savvy house on the block.

Jimmy Kimmel has a brutal response to Rudy Giuliani calling him distasteful and incompetent

Mashable - Wed, 04/29/2026 - 06:38

Jimmy Kimmel has been under attack from the right over the past few days, with Melania Trump calling for him to be fired after a joke he made during an "alternative" White House Correspondents' Dinner he hosted the week before the event itself was called after after an armed man attempted to breach security.

And now, even after issuing a response on Monday, Rudy Giuliani is having a pop too, calling Kimmel "one of the most distasteful human beings in this country."

"I have to be say it hurst to be called distasteful by a man who farted his own pants off in front of Borat's daughter," says Kimmel, before playing another clip of Giuliani calling him an "incompetent jackass."

"I have to say it's confusing to be called an incompetent jackass by a man who accidentally held a press conference outside a dildo store."

The Daily Show calls out Trumps exorbitant $400 million ballroom

Mashable - Wed, 04/29/2026 - 06:12

Yes, the U.S. is still in the middle of a war with Iran, which is increasing consumer prices. And yes, America's affordability crisis remains serious. And yes, the President of the United States still wants his $400 million ballroom.

As The Daily Show's Josh Johnson unpacked on Tuesday night, Donald Trump's controversial White House building project remains a major point of conversation in the Capitol. In particular, a group of Senate Republicans led by Sen. Lindsey Graham are pushing a bill to fund the president's ballroom with taxpayer money, citing security needs.

"$400 million is way too much. Why is this ballroom so expensive? Is the roof going to be made of Coachella tickets?" asked Johnson during Tuesday night's show. "What could possibly make this thing cost so much? Be specific."

Cut to footage of Graham telling reporters, "Underneath, there will be a lot of military stuff."

"'Military stuff?' What military stuff? Name 10 military stuffs. I'll wait," said Johnson. "Lindsey Graham sounds like me in fifth grade trying to convince my mom to get me an Xbox: 'You know, they make educational games too!'"

SEE ALSO: 'The Daily Show' reacts to judge halting Trump's White House ballroom

Notably, Johnson brings a sense of perspective to the whole ballroom debacle: "This is not what a president is supposed to be focused on, unless that president is seven years old. You know, they're writing a list like, 'I'm going to have a slide that goes right from my bed to the pool, and I want a suit made out of candy, so whenever I get hungry, I can just eat my shirt."

Aimee Lou Woods addresses SNL beef in in SNL UK promo

Mashable - Wed, 04/29/2026 - 05:19

The White Lotus Season 3 star Aimee Lou Wood has had a rocky relationship with SNL in the past, famously calling the show out last year for a sketch in which Sarah Sherman impersonated her character using large false teeth — but ahead of hosting the UK version of the show this weekend, she's keen to wipe the slate clean.

"I cannot wait to get started, you know especially after the whole thing in America with my teeth," says Wood in the promo skit above, addressing the cast as they cover their mouths with their hands. "Wait, why are you all covering your mouths? Oh my God, have you guys got fake teeth in? Wow, this is all one big setup to humiliate me then? I thought SNL UK would be different."

The twist? Everyone is actually wearing fake moustaches, trying to capture some of the love "Weekend Update" star Paddy Young has been getting for his facial hair online.

Tesla says FSD Lite is coming to older cars globally, but timing is uncertain

Mashable - Wed, 04/29/2026 - 05:12

Tesla is in a pickle.

Company CEO Elon Musk has been promising fully autonomous driving via Tesla's Full Self-Driving (FSD) package for years. However, in January, it turned out that older Teslas — those with HW3 hardware, as opposed to newer, HW4 hardware inside — don't really support it, and never will.

This wouldn't be such a big deal if numerous HW3 Tesla owners hadn't already purchased the FSD package, which cost thousands of dollars (the price changed a lot over the years).

SEE ALSO: Elon Musk says Tesla's Cybercab has started production

To appease these owners, Tesla previously promised a stripped-down version of the software, called FSD V14 Lite, that will run on Teslas with HW3 hardware, but only in the U.S. On Wednesday, the company expanded that globally, but with caveats. Many, many caveats.

This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.

"Following future rollout of FSD V14 Lite for HW3 vehicles in the US, we plan on expanding V14 Lite to additional international markets. This update ensures that HW3 vehicle owners will continue to benefit from ongoing software updates," the company wrote in a tweet. "Since international rollout is subject to several factors (completion of technical verification, regional adaptation & relevant regulatory approvals), we can't provide definitive dates at the moment, but will provide updates on a rolling basis."

The news coincides with recent approval of FSD in the Netherlands, which will likely open the door to the software being allowed in the rest of the European Union. Tesla has been running supervised FSD tests across Europe; having tried it out in Croatia, I can say that it works reasonably well. But HW3 owners who have purchased FSD aren't particularly happy to be left behind; some have already banded together and launched a claims site, asking for their money back.

Featured Video For You I took a ride in a robotaxi: How close are we to a driverless future?

Tesla's FSD Lite is likely a way to appease HW3 owners. It's worth pointing out, however, that FSD and FSD Lite are not the same, and in some ways, they aren't even close. FSD should ultimately provide a truly autonomous driving experience, while FSD Lite gets some FSD features but will likely always remain just a driving assistance package. And no, true FSD is never coming to HW3 vehicles; during Tesla's Q1 2026 earnings call, Musk said that "Hardware 3 simply does not have the capability to achieve unsupervised FSD," due to memory bandwidth, lower camera resolution, and processing power constraints.

Now, about those caveats. We don't really know much about FSD V14 Lite, except, as Tesla's VP of AI Ashok Elluswamy said during the call, it's a "distilled version of the same V14 software that we released for Hardware 4." Furthermore, he said FSD V14 Lite would be coming to the U.S. by "end of June." International rollout will start sometime after that, and is subject to regulatory approvals, technical verification, and regional adaptation. Add to that Musk's propensity to set unrealistic timelines, and it could be a long wait for HW3 Tesla owners in Europe and elsewhere.

During that same earnings call, Musk also said Tesla will at some point be offering the ability to retrofit an older car with HW4 hardware, but it's unclear when that will start, who will be eligible, or whether it would incur additional costs to owners.
