As a child, I was a bookworm, but somewhere along the way I fell into a slump in the reading department. In 2024, I finally got back into reading. Besides the ultra-low priced books at the local thrift store, I owe a big part of my rekindled love for books to subscriptions like Kindle Unlimited. If you're in a slump, Kindle Unlimited puts thousands of books in nearly every genre imaginable at your fingertips. And for Cyber Monday, you can score it for an absolutely outrageous price.

Usually $11.99 per month, new subscribers can sign up for three months of Kindle Unlimited for only 99 cents. Not $0.99 per month, but $0.99 total. That ends up being a total savings of $34.98 or 97%. There's currently no date listed as to when this deal ends, but we suggest snagging it ASAP, as it could be gone as soon as Cyber Monday ends.

Kindle Unlimited gives you access to over 4 million digital book titles, from classics to recent bestsellers, thousands of audiobooks, and even magazine subscriptions like People Magazine, Travel + Leisure, and Runner's World. And the best part? You don't even need a Kindle device to access Kindle Unlimited, although we highly suggest snagging one of the new Kindles while they're down to record-low prices for Cyber Monday. You can download the Kindle app on an iPad or even on your phone to enjoy a seamless reading experience anywhere.

Your subscription will automatically renew at full price — $11.99 per month — once your promotional period ends, so be sure to set a reminder to cancel if you want to avoid those charges. Although, you might be sold after seeing your TBR list finally start to shrink.

Since its founding, the gaming platform Roblox had a considerable drawback: Friends who wanted to play the same game together couldn't do so easily. Typically, they'd have to use a third-party app, like Discord, to coordinate a session. Then landing together in the same game server required tiresome logistical planning.

Roblox announced Monday that those days are in the past with the launch of its new Party feature, which allows friends to gather, select a game, and arrive in the server together. Users 13 and older can also chat with each other while playing.

SEE ALSO: Roblox launches numerous new safety features

Garima Sinha, Roblox's vice president of product, told Mashable ahead of Party's debut that the feature is a "huge step" toward the company's vision of reimagining the way people come together.

"It's a seamless way for people to connect, coordinate, and co-experience with their friends, all within Roblox," Sinha said.

Party, which rolls out Monday globally on desktop and iOS and Android devices, appears to be a major win for the platform's nearly 90 million daily users. The feature makes it easy to join the same instance of a game or experience. If someone needs to stop playing momentarily, they can rejoin the Party. A group of players can also travel together across Roblox's different games and experiences.

Roblox's data shows that Party boosts engagement, too. When friends play together, their sessions are an average of 1.9 times longer than sessions of users playing by themselves.

Sinha said that a Party-specific Application Programming Interface (API) launching early next year will give developers the opportunity to create custom experiences for groups playing together. A developer, for example, might give a Party a custom magic power or a secret space in their game's universe. Roblox hopes these extras will make the Party feature particularly attractive to users.

Importantly, Party is only available to use between players who are already friends, which may help address longstanding safety concerns regarding Roblox's youngest and most vulnerable leaving the platform for Discord or other communication apps and encountering predators or bad actors.

Players who are younger than 13 will not be able to chat in a Party, for now. Sinha said that the company is exploring ways to safely let young players communicate in the future. Parents can use Roblox's new parental controls to turn off the Party feature altogether, if they wish.

Those who are 13 and older can text chat with each other via Party. Eventually, the product will include voice chat as well. All chats are moderated by Roblox.

If a Party wants to play a game or experience that exceeds an individual user's maturity label — a setting selected by a minor's parent — that player will have to get permission to change the setting to participate.

Players can turn off Party, block users, edit their friend list, and leave a Party chat.

Sinha said that, partly for safety reasons, the company wanted to make sure users weren't leaving Roblox to coordinate their playtime.

"This will give them a really structured, contained way of playing on Roblox," she said.

Way back in 2013, Google acquired the map startup Waze. Fast forward just 11 years and one of Waze's stand-out features is finally being rolled out to Google Maps.

As first noticed by 9to5Google, users are reporting that community reports from Waze are starting to roll out within Google Maps as well. The feature has long-earned Waze a specific fanbase that preferred this smaller startup directions and maps app over products from its much larger competitors like Google and Apple.

SEE ALSO: Apple Maps finally comes to the web

Basically, this Waze feature allows users to share when they come across new or temporary incidents that have occurred, warning other users of potential issues that may arise in their similar travels.

Credit: Truckin_18 on Reddit

For example, a Google Maps user has shared an alert it received from within the Google Maps app that warned about "Police reported ahead." The alert included a "From Waze drivers" addendum in the notification. The alert within Google Maps asks "Are they still there?" and the user can tap "Yes" or "No' to share whether the police are still located where other Waze drivers reported seeing them.

Google has been more closely integrating Google Maps and Waze specific features in recent months. As 9to5Google points out, Google shared that Google Maps would utilize Waze community reports within its app in a future update.

"Google Maps will surface reports from our drivers with attribution to Waze directly in the app," Waze announced on its website in July.

As of now, the update appears to be in the midst of rolling out, so some Google Maps users just might not seem them just yet. But soon, all Google Maps users will have access to a beloved feature that keeps many Waze users on Waze.

Tesla dropped a number of new features, among them was quite useful Apple Watch compatibility. Also among the features — because Elon Musk seemingly runs Tesla with a juvenile edgelord's sensibilities — was a "fart on contact" feature that effectively turns any seat into a whoopee cushion.

SEE ALSO: Here's all the ways you can make your Tesla fart

Tesla announced its over-the-air holiday update, which made a number of improvements and added a bunch of features. Perhaps the biggest update is an app for Apple Watch that'll let you control a number of Tesla features via your wrist. For instance, an Apple Watch can be used as a key, view the car's battery level, set a temperature, and open the frunk.

A look at the Apple Watch Tesla app. Credit: Screenshot: X / @Tesla

While the Apple Watch updated will likely prove useful for many folks, the "fart on contact" feature will likely get a bit of use, too. It allows you to set any seat to "fart on contact," which means a fart sound will play when someone sits on that seat. It's a digital whoopee cushion and the third such fart feature from Tesla, which also has "fart on demand" and "fart on turn signal" settings.

Fart jokes. Credit: X / @Tesla

Those are far from the only new features announced by Tesla. A post on X — Elon Musk's version of Twitter — has the full details. Among the notable updates include the ability to set a preferred battery level upon arrival at your destination, a new alert for cross-traffic while in reverse, and Cybertruck's "Santa Mode" that turns your car's avatar into a sleigh.

Santa Mode is a neat little feature but it might not ease the sting of the Cybertruck's many recent recalls. Let's just hope those recalls don't stop Old Saint Nick from getting presents out to kids on Christmas.

Investigative journalist Ronan Farrow has one tip for those worried about their devices being hacked: Turn your phone off more often.

Appearing on the Daily Show a week after the release of his new documentary feature, Surveilled, Farrow argued that the general public should be "freaking out" more about the insidious use of government sanctioned surveillance technology on citizen's personal devices. And, as part of that awareness, more of us should be safeguarding our tech.

"Restart your phone everyday," he advises Daily Show correspondent Desi Lydic and the show's viewers. "That's one practical piece of advice. A lot of forms of this kind of spyware will be foiled by a reboot... Keep everything updated, is the other thing."

SEE ALSO: Zoom lied about encryption in 2020. Now it wants to pay $18 million to make that go away.

Farrow's personal and professional dive into government-led tech surveillance is documented in the hour-long HBO Max exposé, a visual tour through the journalist's 2022 New Yorker investigation uncovering a web of governments using the internationally-traded spyware Pegasus.

In the feature, Farrow narrows in on the work of Catalonian activists and their families, friends, and coworkers targeted by the Israeli-owned NSO Group. Farrow and his sources explain how they were able to discover and trace back their hacked devices—some journalists and activists got around the invasions using DIY aluminum foil Faraday cages. The documentary, through interviews with the tech's anonymous buyers and sellers, as well as government officials themselves, makes the case that no one is safe from Big Brother's eyes.

"I keep getting told, by experts in this technology, that if our government doesn't curtail the use of thisand there's a lot of skepticism that the incoming administration will—you won't know if you're on some target list," Farrow told Lydic. "You won't know if your phone is being hacked or how that data is being used. It's easy to see this as a distant issue... but it can come for anyone."

There’s also no fee to pause your subscription, and you can cancel anytime.

Each month, you’ll get to choose one of five new book selections hand-picked by a team of experts. If you prefer audiobooks, you can also add an audiobook subscription. (The best subscription plan for this is the “2 credits per month” plan for $14.99 per credit.)

Jaguar, the car company equivalent of a three piece suit, seems determined to ruffle some feathers. A few days ago, Jaguar revealed a new, "fearless" and "exuberant" visual identity that seems to have divided the brand's fans into those who hate it and those who...well, we've seen a few positive takes, we just can't find them right now.

Now, hours ahead of the official unveiling at Miami Art Week, the company's new concept car has leaked, and we bet it's going to be equally divisive.

Well, at least it has a steering wheel of sorts. Credit: Coche Spias

The concept car, leaked at Coche Spias, is called the Design Vision Concept, and it's far more pink than any Jaguar we've seen. It also appears to be incredibly unfinished, with a very sparse interior and an exterior that somehow seems to lack polygons (yes, Tesla's Cybertruck and it's low-resolution look does come to mind).

Tweet may have been deleted

Things that stand out are the gargantuan grilles, both on front and back, super-slim headlights, wheels that would fit a semi, and the complete lack of a rear window.

Jaguar previously teased a few details from the Design Vision Concept, but now we get to see the car in full, and from all sides.

Tweet may have been deleted

Check out the full gallery over at Coche Spias, and make sure you scroll down to see the rest of the pics.

Jaguar actually has a new, electric production car in the works, and it does look a tiny bit like the Vision Concept, but we can't shake the feeling that the Jaguar of new is (currently) primarily interested in generating heated discussions on car forums.

AI may have its detractors, but never let it be said that the technology isn't at least helping us predict our own demise.

Death Clock is a fun (!) AI app from San Francisco developer Brent Franson, founder of habit tracker Most Days, which broadly analyses health and behaviour to make a guess at a) the exact date of your death, and b) what's most likely to finally do you in.

SEE ALSO: Intel's 20-year-old AI ethics prodigy on the future of artificial intelligence

"Death Clock AI analyzes your life choices to determine when you will die, and how you can improve your habits to live even longer," reads the site. (The prediction bit is free, but if you want to unlock the ways you can supposedly lengthen your mortal years, you have to stump up for the $79.98 annual subscription.)

Needless to say, curiosity got the better of me. Would I live to the ripe old age of 90, or be mown down in my prime? I had to know!

Less of a horror movie situation involving cursed countdowns induced by malevolent spirits, the app itself is basically a series of health-related questions, ranging from age and lifestyle to eating and drinking habits.

Once you've completed the questionnaire, you're greeted with a cheery series of grim reaper-illustrated tiles telling you the exact date you're going to die, and the things most likely to kill you. I got cardiovascular disease as my number one!

So, how accurate is this thing?

On the one hand, the company claims the AI model draws on stats from over 1,200 studies, including those carried out by universities like Stanford, Berkeley, and UCLA. On the other hand, the questionnaire feels a touch narrow. Although I was asked about the average age of my grandparents, for instance, I wasn't asked many details about family health in general. The app also didn't ask about my daily travel habits, or whether or not I have any particularly risky hobbies.

Ultimately, it said I'd die at 83, but with some tweaking — and that's where the annual fee comes in — I could draw things out until I hit 96. Rather than a harbinger of doom, it's probably better to view the app (at least the paid version) as a way of tweaking your daily habits to maximise your own health and longevity.

Spotify users look forward to their Wrapped all year long. And for those who can hardly wait, don't fret: Spotify Wrapped 2024 is nearly here.

What is Spotify Wrapped?

Started in 2016, Spotify Wrapped is exactly what it sounds like: your year in Spotify, neatly wrapped up in a colorful — and uniquely shareable — interactive experience.

Spotify combs through your data and tells you your top artists, songs, albums, and more. For instance, you might find out you were in the Top 1 percent of Selena Gomez listeners. Spotify also creates a playlist of your Top 100 songs of the year.

The short answer: The exact date is a surprise. Spotify has never confirmed it, and let's face it — they probably never will. But we do know Spotify Wrapped will likely arrive quite soon.

It'll certainly come out the week after Thanksgiving. In 2023, it came out the Wednesday after Thanksgiving. So keep that in mind.

Tweet may have been deleted How to view your Spotify Wrapped

It's pretty simple to look at your Wrapped once it is released. All you have to do is open the app on your phone and click on the correct "Wrapped" icon. Typically speaking, it'll be a little button across a hard-to-miss banner. You can also go to the Wrapped section of the Spotify website.

And, of course, once you do view your Wrapped there's only one thing to do: share it with the internet, as has become obligatory.

Moana 2 just smashed a Thanksgiving box office record, answering an eight-year-old question of how far the Disney favourite will go.

The sequel to 2016's Moana picked up a whopping $221 million domestic over the five days of the holiday (Wednesday to Sunday), which trounces the records set by fellow sequels Frozen 2 ($125 million) and Hunger Games: Catching Fire ($109 million).

There's a lot of records smashed here, as The Hollywood Reporter has neatly chronicled— it's the best opening result for a Disney film at the box office ever, a record previously held by Frozen 2 in 2019. It's also reportedly the biggest takings for a film on the day of Thanksgiving; Moana 2 took home $28 million on the day while Frozen 2 made $15 million.

In addition, Moana 2 is now the top box office five-day debut ever, surpassing last year's The Super Mario Bros. Movie which made $205.6 million in the same amount of time (it's still the highest grossing movie adapted from a video game ever).

Audiences appear to love the return to the island of Motunui, with Auli'i Cravalho and Dwayne Johnson returning for the much awaited sequel. Rotten Tomatoes shows critics didn't love Moana 2, with a 65 percent Tomatometer score; Mashable's Belen Edwards described the film in her review as "almost as great as the original, except for one big thing." But audiences have the film at an 85 percent approval rating — and they're really showing up at the cinema.

Moana 2's global takings are sitting at $386 million after its opening weekend; Frozen 2 made a total of $1.4 billion globally by the end of its run. The big, thematically-charged question is, can it go beyond its fellow Disney sequel?
