It is not always easy to cancel your subscriptions. The Federal Trade Commission is trying to change that, but it's not going over without a fight.
As Reuters reported, a group representing companies like Comcast and Charter, sued the FTC on Wednesday over a rule it recently made called the "click-to-cancel" rule. The rule, which was announced earlier this month and ratified on Oct. 16, would ensure that customers know what they're actually signing up for before paying and that they'll be able to cancel a subscription just as easily as they made it.
SEE ALSO: Canceling subscriptions with one click just got way easier"Too often, businesses make people jump through endless hoops just to cancel a subscription. The FTC’s rule will end these tricks and traps, saving Americans time and money. Nobody should be stuck paying for a service they no longer want," commission chair Lina M. Khan wrote at the time of the rule's announcement.
It took the NCTA, formerly known as the National Cable and Telecommunications Association, less than a month to go to the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans and file a suit against the FTC, saying the click-to-cancel rule oversteps the Commission's authority.
What happens next is up to the court, but for now, you might want to read the fine print.

Social media's giants must face lawsuits brought forth by school districts nationwide, U.S. District Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers ruled this week, which claim that the platforms are addictive and harming the country's youth.
Meta, Google, TikTok, and Snap will indeed head to court to face the high-dollar damage cases, which will proceed under a more narrow scope, Rogers decided. This comes despite a contrary decision by a Los Angeles Superior Court judge this summer, Bloomberg reported. As a result, the companies won't face hundreds of Los Angeles-based claims, but will be liable for more than 150 additional cases.
In the ruling, Rogers agreed that the companies "deliberately fostered compulsive use of their platforms" by students that placed a burden on school districts. Other claims would be thrown out under Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, which shields internet use and providers from most civil suits.
SEE ALSO: TikTok execs know exactly how many videos it takes to get addicted to its platformMeta, Google, and Snap have denied the allegations brought forth in the lawsuit. TikTok has not commented on this decision specifically, but has been vocal about its teen safety efforts in the past. Last week, the same California judge ruled that Meta has to face joint lawsuits from 34 district attorneys who allege the company's social media platforms are exacerbating the youth mental health crisis. Earlier this month, a similar coalition of district attorneys filed lawsuits against TikTok for its "addictive algorithm" and false safety marketing — internal documents revealed in the case found that TikTok's executives were aware of the addictive nature of its For You Page.
Rogers has overseen dozens of such cases, including a major class action filing against Meta, Google parent company Alphabet, and several other social media companies brought forth by parents and their children. In a 2023 decision related to the case, Rogers said that the social media platforms could be sued over negligence related to "defective products," but wouldn't move forward on claims that private messaging tools, notifications, and algorithmic recommendations were connecting minors to adults and causing harm, citing Section 230 once again.

Best gaming handheld deal Opens in a new window Credit: Amazon Lenovo Legion Go Gaming Handheld $599.99 at Best BuyThis solid Steam Deck competitor is a handheld that can take Valve's heavy-hitter on with gusto. It boasts "great specs" and "solid performance" according to Mashable reviewer Alex Perry, plus a "huge display." It has an AMD Ryzen Z1 Extreme GPU, 16GB of RAM, and can run all the PC titles you've probably had your eye on over the past few months, all at a 2560 x 1600 setting. It's comfortable, beefy, and capable, so if you want an alternative to the Steam Deck that isn't locked to Steam, this is a great pick.
Best gaming monitor deal Opens in a new window Credit: Amazon Samsung Odyssey OLED 69 Gaming Monitor $1,079.99 at Best BuyA massive gaming monitor is one thing, but one with curvature can keep you immersed in your favorite games.

It's certainly large and in charge, but it actually does look great and performs well too. At $700 off, you might want to pounce on this deal soon — it's a monitor splurge that's actually worth it.

Our top pick Opens in a new window Credit: Blink Blink Outdoor 4 6-camera system $179.99 at AmazonPet owners, frequent travelers, or any homeowner (or renter) seeking affordable peace of mind should check out this deal on Blink Outdoor 4 cameras. The Blink Outdoor 4 is tough to beat when it comes to budget-friendly security cameras. It works seamlessly with other Alexa-enabled devices, comes with customizable motion-detection zones, offers infrared night vision and two-way audio, and has a battery life of two years. That's why it's one of our top overall picks. As of Oct. 25, you can grab a six-pack of these easy to setup cameras for only $179.99. That's 62% in savings and a new record low. You essentially get six cameras for the price of two.
Opens in a new window Credit: Apple Apple iPad 10th generation (64GB, WiFi) ¤299.00 at AmazonWhen it debuted in late 2022, the 10th generation iPad retailed for $449, but it got a permanent price drop to $349 when the 2024 iPad Air and iPad Pro dropped in May. Now, as of Oct. 25, you can pick up the base model (64GB, WiFi) for only $299 — the same price drop it received on October Prime Day. It's not the most advanced iPad in the Apple ecosystem, but it's the most affordable current model (aside from the 9th generation iPad). It offers a powerful A14 Bionic chip, a Liquid Retina display, and comes in a variety of fun pastel colors. In our best iPad roundup, Mashable shopping reporter Sam Mangino writes, "It's perfect for someone who wants a portable screen for streaming, playing games, and reading. It's also a nice choice if you're interested in using your tablet as a laptop but don't want to spend a ton of money."
Opens in a new window Credit: Samsung Samsung Galaxy Book4 Pro (Intel Core 7 Ultra, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD) $1,109.99 at SamsungReleased at the beginning of 2024, the Galaxy Book4 Pro is a specced out Samsung laptop with all the bells and whistles. It packs an Intel Core Ultra 7 155H CPU with Intel Arc Graphics, a 3K AMOLED touchscreen, AKG Quad speakers, a new Knox security chip, and 18 hours of battery life. The 14-inch model with 16GB RAM and 512GB SSD is on sale for just $1,109.99 at Amazon as of Oct. 25 — that's $340 in savings and its lowest price on record.
Opens in a new window Credit: Apple Apple AirTags (4-pack) ¤79.98 at AmazonFor iPhone users who like to travel, AirTags are a must. You can stick one on your suitcase, keys, purse, guitar case, and anything else you don't want to lose and keep track of its location as long as there's an Apple device with Find My nearby. You'll be able to see where you are in proximity to an item with an accuracy of just a few feet away. A single AirTag typically costs $29, which means it would cost you about $116 to buy four separately. With this four-pack deal, you'll pay just $79.98. That's almost like getting one and a half for free.

Best pet tech deal Opens in a new window Credit: Furbo Furbo 360 Dog Camera + Nanny Bundle $54.00 at AmazonSpeaking of my beagles, fellow pet parents won’t want to miss this deal: The Furbo 360 Dog Camera + Nanny Bundle is $54. That’s a whopping $45 off the list price, bringing it to its lowest price since September.
This little security camera gives you a 360-degree view of your pets, pushes treats to them via the app, features home emergency alerts (like smoke and intruder detection), and even tells you when they're barking. It’s a great gift idea for anyone working an in-office job, or fur-parents who travel a lot.
The only caveat is that it requires a paid subscription at setup. It’s $6.99 per month (there’s a three-month minimum). If you want to save money in the long run, you can also purchase a yearly or two-year plan.
Best Lego deal Opens in a new window Credit: Lego Lego Creator 3-in-1 Retro Roller Skate Building Kit $23.95 at AmazonLegos are notoriously expensive. (I buy my dad the racecar sets every year, and those things cost nearly $300.) If you’re trying to score a deal on Legos this holiday season, Amazon’s got the Lego Creator 3-in-1 Retro Roller Skate Building Kit for just $23.95.
SEE ALSO: Finding a gift that kids actually like is tricky. This guide will make it easier.This Lego building kit includes three designs: a roller skate, a radio, and a mini skateboard. It’s essentially three toys in one for less than $25.
Best hardcover book deal Opens in a new window Credit: Mattel 'Barbie: The World Tour' $31.35 at AmazonLast year, Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling starred in what many people, including Mashable’s Film Editor Kristy Puchko, consider “a miracle for a studio movie.” The Barbie movie gave today’s generation something other than “perfect” to aspire to — it gave them the option to choose themselves.
And now you can buy Barbie: The World Tour, a hardcover book filled with iconic looks and accessories from the movie, for just $31.35. If any Barbie fans are on your shopping list, this coffee table book is a must.

The mug features an auto sleep mode that only wakes up when hot liquid is poured in to prevent unwanted accidents. It also has an LED light that lets you know when your drink is ready.
Right now, you can nab the Ember Smart Mug 2 for $119.99, which is $29.96 off the original price.
Not every artificial intelligence application sounds useful in everyday life, but Anthropic just unveiled one that could be.
Anthropic announced on its website that its "Claude" large language model has gotten an intriguing new feature: computer use. Put simply, this AI can take over your mouse cursor and perform basic computing tasks like clicking and typing. This feature is available now on the Claude 3.5 Sonnet public beta.
SEE ALSO: Anthropic is testing AI’s capacity for sabotageThe feature, which Anthropic itself described as "at times cumbersome and error-prone," has apparently been embraced by companies like Asana and DoorDash. According to Anthropic, Claude's computer use capabilities can perform tasks "that require dozens, and sometimes even hundreds, of steps to complete," presumably without human intervention. For something like Asana, which is software for managing work projects, this could actually be pretty useful and save time.
Of course, all of that sounds great until Claude messes something up and you don't notice until it's too late.
Watching sports keeps getting more complicated. The 2024-2025 NBA season just kicked off and if you cut cable along with the majority of the country, you're going to need a streaming service or two to catch the action live.
Between regional sports networks, blackout games, and national broadcasts, we have a lot to cover. Buckle up, basketball fans. We've got your guide to watching the 2024-2025 NBA season, including all of the best streaming deals.
When does the 2024-2025 NBA season start?The NBA season officially kicked off on Oct. 22 with the New York Knicks taking on the Boston Celtics at TD Garden in Boston. The 82-game regular season wraps up April 13, 2025.
What channels do I need to watch live NBA games this season?During the 2024-2025 NBA season, games will air live on ABC, ESPN and ESPN2, TNT, NBA TV, and of course, regional sports networks. Each team has a regional sports network that broadcasts games live for viewers within that region. If a game isn't on ABC, ESPN, TNT, or NBA TV, it's on a team's regional sports network (more on that below). The NBA playoffs in 2025 will be broadcast on ABC, ESPN, and TNT, while the NBA finals will be live on ABC.
Things are set to get even more complicated next season, as the NBA's new media deals with Prime Video and Peacock will replace TNT. But we'll cross that bridge when we get to it.
If you have cable, you can tune in through your TV provider or on the mobile apps with your cable TV account login for the main networks. Not a cable subscriber? No worries — in 2024, there are plenty of other options. Live TV streaming services serve as cable alternatives with no strings attached, giving you live access to a well-rounded channel selection through your internet connection (rather than a cable connection). With no contract required, you can cancel whenever you wish. Below, we've rounded up our top picks, including the best streaming deals currently available for each.
What is an RSN and which one do I need?Unlike the NFL, which offers national broadcasts of most games with specific in-market choice games, the NBA complicates things with regional sports networks (RSNs). These are essentially sports-specific TV channels dedicated to a local market or geographic area. If you live in the same region as your favorite team, you'll need to know which RSN broadcasts your team's games. Some examples of RSNs are FanDuel Sports Network (which replaced Bally Sports), NBC Sports, and Altitude Sports. Head over to the NBA schedule if you aren't sure which network your team plays on. For a complete list of each team's RSN, see the FAQs below.
If you really only care about your local team, many RSNs offer subscriptions for you to tune in without cable. For example, Fan Duel Sports Network Southeast (which includes Atlanta Hawks and Memphis Grizzlies games) is $19.99 per month or $124.99 for the whole NBA season. Monumental Sports Network (which includes the Washington Wizards) is $19.99 per month or $199.99 per year. A quick Google search for your team's RSN will let you know if there's a separate subscription available. Of course, these RSN subscriptions will not include nationally broadcast games on ABC, ESPN, TNT, or NBA TV.
If you want to watch a team outside of your region, you don't necessarily need to know which RSN said team plays on; instead, you'll want to get NBA League Pass for out-of-network games (more on that below). You'll probably be blacked out from watching a team in a different city anyway (in which case, you can try a VPN).
The best live TV streaming deals for NBA gamesYouTube TV Opens in a new window Credit: YouTube TV YouTube TV Free 10-day trial, then $49.99/mo for your first 2 months (save $46) Get DealBest for: Sweet introductory deal for new subscribers, well-rounded channel lineup
Channels: ABC, ESPN (and ESPN2), TNT, NBA TV, some RSNs
Pricing: Free 10-day trial, then $49.99 per month for your first two months (save $46). $72.99 per month thereafter for YouTube TV Base Plan.
YouTube is one of our favorite live TV streaming services for watching NBA games. It offers every channel you need to watch as many nationally broadcast games (in network) as possible, with over 100 in total. It also offers access to some RSNs depending on your region. Plus, if you're new to the streamer, you can kick things off with a free trial, then a two-month introductory price of $49.99 per month. Afterward, the price will jump back up to $72.99 per month.
Sling Opens in a new window Credit: Sling Sling (Orange + Sports Extra) $31 for first month, then $51/month thereafter for Orange + Sports Extra packages Get DealBest for: Affordability, a la carte channel selection
Channels: ABC (in select networks), ESPN (and ESPN2), ESPN3 (simulcast ABC games) TNT, NBA TV
Pricing: $40 per month (half off first month) for Orange package + $11 per month for Sports Extra = $31 for first month, then $51 per month thereafter
Sling is the best way to watch the most nationally broadcast NBA games for the least amount of money. You'll get access to ESPN, ESPN2, TNT, and NBA TV, as well as ABC in select networks. For those who don't get access to ABC in their region, ESPN3 simulcasts ABC games, so you can still watch live. You'll need the Orange package, which costs $40 per month, plus the $11 per month Sports Extra add-on to access all of these networks through Sling. That brings your monthly total to $51 per month. However, you can slash $20 off your first month to get started. You can also add NBA League Pass to your package for $16.99 per month if you want to watch out-of-market games.
Hulu + Live TV Opens in a new window Credit: Hulu + Live TV Hulu + Live TV (includes Hulu, ESPN+, and Disney+) $59.99/month for 3 months, then $82.99/month Get DealBest for: More than just live sports streaming, more bang for your buck
Channels: ABC, ESPN (and ESPN2), TNT, limited RSNs
Pricing: $59.99 per month for three months, then $82.99 per month
While Hulu + Live TV doesn't include access to NBA TV, it does offer ESPN, ESPN2, ABC, and TNT in its 90+ channel lineup. Not to mention, a subscription also gives you unlimited access to the streaming libraries of Hulu, ESPN+, and Disney+. That's a lot of bang for your buck. Typically $82.99 per month, you can sign up for just $59.99 per month for your first three months through Nov. 19. Plus, new subscribers get a three-day free trial. There are limited RSNs included in the base plan, but you can add on Fan Duel Network for an additional $9.99 per month.
FuboTV Opens in a new window Credit: FuboTV FuboTV 7-day free trial, then $59.99 for the first month (save $20) Get DealBest for: Fans of sports beyond NBA, the most comprehensive channel lineup
Channels: ABC, ESPN (and ESPN2), NBA TV, most RSNs
Pricing: 7-day free trial, then $59.99 for the first month. $79.99 per month thereafter for Fubo Pro plan.
Ideal for sports fanatics of all shapes and sizes (beyond just NBA), FuboTV has the most comprehensive channel lineup of any live TV streaming provider with over 185 channels in its base plan. The downside is it doesn't include TNT, which is set to broadcast 66 games this season. For that reason alone, it's not our top pick for watching NBA games this year, but it's still a solid choice overall. After a seven-day free trial, your first month of the Pro plan is just $59.99 ($79.99 per month thereafter).
DirecTV Stream Opens in a new window Credit: DirecTV DirecTV Stream Starting at $89.99 per month for the Choice package Get DealBest for: Fans who live in same region as their team, more than just watching sports
Channels: ABC, ESPN, ESPN2, TNT, NBA TV, most RSNs
Pricing: $89.99 per month for the Choice package + RSN fee
If you mostly care about your home team, but like to check in with other teams as well, DirecTV Stream's Choice package is a solid option, albeit expensive. The Choice package starts at $89.99 per month (with a $10 discount per month if you sign up for two years) and gives you access to almost every team's RSN (for a fee). The Choice package also includes ESPN, ABC, NBA TV, and TNT. With the hidden fees, it'll likely cost you over $100 per month, which is why it's not our favorite option.
NBA League Pass Opens in a new window Credit: NBA League Pass NBA League Pass Starting at $16.99/month Get DealBest for: Out-of-market games, analysis, highlights, and more
Channels: Everything except national broadcasts on ABC, TNT, and ESPN.
Pricing:
$109.99 for the season (with ads) or $16.99 per month
$159.99 for the season (no ads) or $24.99 per month
$89.99 for just one team for the season
$9.99 per month for students
Similar to NFL's Sunday Ticket, minus the outrageous fee, NBA League Pass gives fans access to live out-of-market games. Plus, you'll get to enjoy games from the NBA's archive, analysis, documentaries, highlights, and more. Local games on NBA TV, as well as nationally broadcast games on ESPN, TNT, and ABC will be blacked out live. You can tune into locally blacked-out games three days after the live broadcast and nationally broadcast games three hours after.
For example: As a Nashville resident, live Memphis Grizzlies and Atlanta Hawks games are blacked out for me.
Max Opens in a new window Credit: Max Max Starting at $9.99/month Get DealBest for: Casual fans, catching games on TNT
Channels: TNT
Pricing:
$9.99 per month With Ads or $99.99 per year (save $19)
$16.99 per month Ad-Free or $169.99 per year (save $33)
$20.99 per month Ultimate Ad-Free or $209.99 per year (save $41)
Max subscribers get access to live NBA games on TNT through the new B/R Sports add-on. It's currently free with your Max subscription for an unspecified limited time. So, casual fans looking to tune into a few NBA games here and there could get by with a Max subscription only.
