Sony dropped its newest flagship headphones last month, the WH-1000XM6s, and we're loving them. And so are our readers; the noise-cancelling headphones are one of Mashable readers' top purchases in May 2025. They're expensive (shocker), but our reviewer Timothy Beck-Werth says they mostly justify their cost, thanks to phenomenal noise cancellation, a comfortable fit, improved audio quality, and a travel-friendly design.

If you're in the market for a pair of elite headphones and want to be among the first adopters of the newest Sony technology, Amazon will give you a free $30 gift card with your purchase of the Sony WH-1000XM6s. This deal is only available at Amazon, which also has the best price on the headphones. They're $448 at Amazon, while they're listed at $449.99 (full price) at Sony, Best Buy, and Target. Sure, $1.99 isn't much as far as savings go, but paired with a free $30 gift card, it's the best deal you'll find on the headphones right now.

The listing doesn't specify how you'll receive your $30 gift card, but we can assume the information will be emailed to the account you have on file at Amazon after your purchase. The deal is only available until 2:59 a.m. ET on June 23, so if you want to score a free gift card with your purchase, you have about a week and a half to decide.

The school year might be winding down, but it's already time to consider the next round of classes. If you could use with a shiny, new, and speedy laptop, there's a great Apple deal at Amazon today that's well worth a look.

As of June 12, every colorway option of the M4 Apple MacBook Air (13-inch, 16GB RAM, 256GB SSD) is on sale for $849 at Amazon, marked down from the normal price of $999. That's a 15% discount that shaves $150 off the list price.

If we're being honest, a lot of us look at our laptop as much (or more) than our phones, the dog, or even a partner. Because of that, you deserve a laptop that comes in a colorway that brings you joy. Apple gifted us with options on the M4 Apple MacBook Air and with today's deal, you can choose what suits you best. Go with the bright Sky Blue, stick with a classic Silver, go all-drama with Midnight, or stick with the cheery Starlight. While we've been in a flurry of discounts on the M4 Air this spring, it's rare to see every color option included in the sale.

In terms of performance, you're in good hands with the M4 Air. Mashable considers it the best MacBook to buy in 2025, largely thanks to the upgraded M4 chip and better cameras. There's also the near-silent operation which is also welcomed.

Mashable Senior Editor Stan Schroeder also points out the upgrade to internal memory in his review. Last year's model topped out at 8GB but the new M4 Air comes with 16GB of starting memory. Plus, you get the option to use two external displays. Apple mentions this model can get up to 18 hours of battery life, so you're in for all-day use before you'll need to recharge.

If you've been considering a MacBook upgrade, today's deal on every colorway on the M4 Air means this is a great time to snag the 13-inch model for $849. You'll be so thankful of the speedy new chip come next semester.

Wikipedia halts AI plans as editors revolt

Mashable - Thu, 06/12/2025 - 12:10

An experiment adding AI-generated summaries to the top of Wikipedia pages has been paused, following fierce backlash from its community editors.

The Wikimedia Foundation, the nonprofit behind Wikipedia, confirmed this to 404 Media, which spotted the discussion on a page detailing the project. Introduced as "Simple Article Summaries" by the Web Team at Wikimedia, the project proposed AI-generated summaries as way "to make the wikis more accessible to readers globally." The team intended to launch a two-week experiment to 10 percent of readers on mobile pages to gauge interest and engagement. They emphasized that the summaries would involve editor moderation, but editors still responded with outrage.

"I sincerely beg you not to test this, on mobile or anywhere else. This would do immediate and irreversible harm to our readers and to our reputation as a decently trustworthy and serious source," one editor responded (emphasis theirs). "Wikipedia has in some ways become a byword for sober boringness, which is excellent. Let's not insult our readers' intelligence and join the stampede to roll out flashy AI summaries."

Others simply responded, "yuck" and called it a "truly ghastly idea."

Several editors called Wikipedia "the last bastion" of the web that's held out against integrating AI-generated summaries. Behind the scenes, it has proactively offered up datasets to offset AI bots vacuuming up the content of its pages and overloading its servers. Editors have been working hard to clean up the deluge of AI-generated content posted on Wikipedia pages.

"Haven’t we been getting good press for being a more reliable alternative to AI summaries in search engines? If they’re getting the wrong answers, let’s not copy their homework," said one editor.

Another pointed out that the human-powered Wikipedia has been so good that search engines like Google rely on them. "I see little good that can come from mixing in hallucinated AI summaries next to our high quality summaries, when we can just have our high quality summaries by themselves."

Wikipedia was created as a crowdsourced, neutral point of view, providing a reliable and informative source for anyone with internet access. Editors responding on the discussion page noted that Generative AI has an inherent hallucination problem, which not only could undermine that credibility, but provide inaccurate information on topics that require nuance and context that could be missing from simple summaries.

Some of the editors checked how the AI model (Aya by Cohere) summarized certain topics like dopamine and Zionism and found inaccuracies.

One editor even accused Wikimedia Foundation staffers of "looking to pad their resumes with AI-related projects."

Eventually, the product manager who introduced the summary feature chimed in and said they will "pause the launch of the experiment so that we can focus on this discussion first and determine next steps together."

AI-free Wikipedia lives to fight another day.

Instagram rolls out long-awaited grid customization and more creative features

Mashable - Thu, 06/12/2025 - 12:00

Instagram is giving users more control over how they express themselves, starting with one of the app’s most highly requested features: grid customization.

Beginning today, users will be able to rearrange the posts on their profile grid, editing how their content is presented to followers. Whether you’re going for a clean aesthetic, curating a personal portfolio, or just hiding that one post that’s been throwing off your vibe, you’re now in control of how your content shows up on your profile.

Instagram rolls out its most expressive update yet. Credit: Instagram

The update headlines a wave of new features unveiled as part of Instagram’s push to inspire more creativity across the platform. As part of the rollout, Instagram is introducing several new tools to enhance self-expression, including more seamless integration between Instagram Notes and Spotify.

Users can now share what they’re listening to on Spotify directly into Instagram Notes. This echoes the golden era of MySpace profiles, when your favorite song was a key part of your online identity. It’s an easy way to set the mood or show off your current obsession. And if that obsession happens to be Tyler, the Creator? You’ll unlock a limited-time secret visual effect in your Notes just by streaming his music.

An absurd TikTok trend lets AI finish your photo

Mashable - Thu, 06/12/2025 - 11:38

A new trend on TikTok uses a CapCut template and AI to animate your photo — and it's so absurd.

The trend morphs a regular photo into something out of your most illogical dream, turning a moment from your real life into something that quickly falls off the deep end. In one photo, a man is sitting with his dog in his lap. AI turns that dog into a human wearing a dog suit (for some reason?) and a cop arrests him as the man screams on with three (?) arms.

"To early to be laughin wakin the whole house up🤣🤣🤣🤣," one user commented under the video.

"Well that’s my nightmare sorted tonight," another user said.

In another photo, a woman lays fully clothed in an empty bath tub. When the photo comes to life using AI, water immediately fills the tub, she stands up and miraculously walks through a porcelain-enameled tub, and flings herself back into the tub when she notices a robber is coming through the bathroom door.

The edits are often nonsensical. Still, a few patterns have emerged. These videos usually end up having someone kick the air and someone else with a few too many hands. There's often a cop or a robber somehow involved.

To try the trend for yourself, you have to download CapCut, TikTok's editing app, and use the trend's template. As with most CapCut trends, there are multiple templates, each of which are linked on the specific TikTok videos themselves. One specifically asks the question "who will be taken by the police?" while others simply promise that "AI will guess what will happen next." With most versions of the template, CapCut will have you pick a photo — I chose a photo of my cat at the dinner table — and then will automatically apply the AI effects. In the AI version of the video, my cat put on a purple blazer and white dress shirt, had him do a kick in the air, turned him into an old Asian person, and then rained vegetables down across the screen.

SEE ALSO: Report: Creating a 5-second AI video is like running a microwave for an hour

People trying the trend say it shows how ridiculous AI is; always adding a hand, walking through solid objects, or depicting the true chaos of dreams. In one video, where a dog is turned into a truly horrifying human, a commenter shared, "You know what, it’s my own fault for having the internet."

Beyond the relative silliness of the trend, very few users are questioning the ethics of participating in it at all.

Using AI has lasting effects on the environment. A group of more than 130 civil society organizations including Amnesty International and Defend Democracy published an open letter asking the AI industry and its regulators to mitigate the environmental impacts of this tech, TechCrunch reported in February. While we don't know exactly how much energy it takes to try out this specific TikTok trend, an investigation from MIT Technology Review found that a newer AI model uses "about 3.4 million joules, more than 700 times the energy required to generate a high-quality image" to create a five-second video.

Take $450 off the DJI Power 1000 portable power station at Amazon and go off-grid

Camping used to be confined to designated campgrounds, but times have changed. We now have water purification systems and coolers that can chill for weeks, so there's no real reason to stay on-grid this summer. That's especially true if you're packing along a portable power station. If you're in the market for one, check out today's deal at Amazon.

As of June 12, the DJI Power 1000 portable power station is on sale for $549, down from $999, at Amazon, thanks to the on-page coupon. That's $450 off, or 45% in savings.

If you'll be camping off-grid this summer, packing along a portable power station is a must. It's just as important as the cooler, if not more. The DJI Power 1000 portable power station will allow you to recharge all your essential devices like your phones, lanterns, rechargeable mosquito repellers, and plenty more.

Two USB-C 140W ports means you'll be repowering phones and laptops in no time, and the DJI focuses on quiet operation. If you'll be using it while you're asleep, rest well thanks to the 23 decibel noise level, which is as low as many air purifiers and fans.

SEE ALSO: The Anker Solix C1000 portable power station is nearly half off at Amazon

When it comes time to recharge the DJI Power 1000 itself, expect to go from zero to full charge in just 70 minutes. If you only have 50 minutes, you'll be able to get back up to 80% charge.

Once summer camping season is over, the DJI Power 1000 is perfect for bringing out into the yard for projects before winter sets in. It's also essential for power outages since it can keep your home's refrigerator cooling and gives you the ability to stay up to date on the power restoration timeline with your fully-charged phone.

Instead of assuming you have to camp with dead batteries, snag the DJI Power 1000 while it's on sale for $549 at Amazon. That $450 discount can then be reinvested into camping toys like stand-up paddleboards, warmer sleeping bags, or fun lights.

The Diplomat Season 3 teaser: All hail President Allison Janney and First Gentleman Bradley Whitford

Mashable - Thu, 06/12/2025 - 11:13

The Diplomat Season 2 ended with bombshell after bombshell.

Turns out that Vice President Grace Penn (Allison Janney) was behind the attack on the British warship HMS Courageous. Upon learning this catastrophic news, President William Ryaburn (Michael McKean) straight-up died, leaving Grace to become President of the United States.

So where does that leave Kate Wyler (Keri Russell) and her husband Hal (Rufus Sewell)?

By the looks of The Diplomat Season 3's first teaser, still very much in the thick of the show's international intrigue. According to Netflix's official Season 3 synopsis:

In season three of The Diplomat, Ambassador Kate Wyler lives the particular nightmare that is getting what you want. She just accused Vice President Grace Penn of hatching a terrorist plot and admitted she’s after the VP’s job. But now the president is dead, Kate’s husband Hal may have inadvertently killed him, and Grace Penn is leader of the free world. None of this slows Hal’s campaign to land Kate the vice presidency. Kate steps into a role she never wanted, with a freedom she never expected, an increasingly complicated friendship with Foreign Secretary Austin Dennison (David Gyasi) and an unnerving bond with first gentleman Todd Penn.

Todd Penn is played by none other than Bradley Whitford, marking a major West Wing reunion between him, Janney, and The Diplomat creator Debora Cahn, who worked on The West Wing's later seasons.

To catch Janney and Whitford in action again, and to see what's next for Kate, check out the full teaser above.

The Diplomat also stars Ali Ahn, Rory Kinnear, and Ato Essandoh.

The Diplomat Season 3 premieres this Fall on Netflix.

The buzz around the Nintendo Switch 2 has been exciting, heartbreaking, and chaotic all at the same time. First, we had an announcement, then a tariff delay, and then pandemonium during pre-orders.

We commend your valiant efforts if you've been able to secure a Switch 2 pre-order that wasn't cancelled. If you're still searching for the Switch 2, check our guide on where to buy the Switch 2 online now that it's officially out in the wild.

Worried about blue light from playing the Switch 2 all day and into the night? Some studies have shown that exposure to blue light, especially later in the day, can cause our bodies to delay producing melatonin, a hormone that helps us fall asleep each night. Unfortunately, screens emit blue light and the Switch 2 is no exception. However, if you pick up the Belkin TemperedGlass screen protector, you'll be getting a 60% reduction in blue light exposure. Belkin designed this patented Eyesafe technology with ophthalmologists to help with eye strain and make longer gaming sessions more comfortable.

Google to force Pixel 6a update that will reduce battery capacity

Mashable - Thu, 06/12/2025 - 10:02

Typically, when a smartphone maker announces a software upgrade, you expect improvements. But a new update to Google's Pixel 6a devices will actually reduce the phone's battery capacity. The kicker: The software update will be mandatory, meaning some Pixel 6a owners will have to install it.

Google, of course, isn't doing this for fun. The problem, according to the company, is the risk of the Pixel 6a battery overheating.

The silver lining is that not all Pixel 6a owners are affected; those that are will be contacted by Google in July.

SEE ALSO: Everything we know about Google Pixel 10: Rumored August launch date leaked

"A subset of Pixel 6a phones will require a mandatory software update to reduce the risk of potential battery overheating. The update will enable battery management features that will reduce capacity and charging performance after the battery reaches 400 charge cycles. We’ll contact impacted customers next month, with all the information they need to address the issue," said the company (via 9to5Google).

Reduced charging speed and battery capacity isn't ideal, but it's certainly better than the phone catching fire, which has happened to several Pixel 6a owners in the past couple of weeks.

In Your Dreams trailer: Netflix animation guides us through a world of dreams and nightmares

Mashable - Thu, 06/12/2025 - 09:00

Over the past few years, Netflix has cemented itself as a strong contender in the animated feature space, releasing Academy Award–nominated movies like The Sea Beast, Nimona, and Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl. Could the upcoming film In Your Dreams join their ranks?

SEE ALSO: Summer Movie Preview: What's coming to theaters and streaming?

In Your Dreams is the first feature from Kuku Studios, which was founded by the film's director and co-writer, Alex Woo. Woo is both the creator of the Emmy–winning series Go! Go! Cory Carson and a Pixar alum, having worked on movies like Ratatouille and WALL-E. In Your Dreams marks his feature directorial debut.

The film transports us to a magical place where anything is possible: the dreams of siblings Stevie (voiced by Jolie Hoang-Rappaport) and Elliot (voiced by Elias Janssen). The pair discover a mysterious book titled The Legend of the Sandman, which turns their dreams into a reality. In their own personal dreamlands, they'll encounter enchanting new landscapes, talking food, and Elliot's snarky stuffed giraffe, Baloney Tony (voiced by Craig Robinson).

In Your Dreams isn't just an adventurous romp through dreams, though. It's also a tale of two kids trying to reunite their family. Stevie and Elliot hope to find the Sandman (voiced by Omid Djalili) so that he can grant their deepest wish: to save their parents' (voiced by Cristin Milioti and Simu Liu) marriage. But to get to the legendary ruler of dreams, they'll have to brave monstrous hot dogs, terrifying storms at sea, and the queen of nightmares.

Get a sneak peek at In Your Dreams' fanciful dreams — and nightmares — in the trailer above.

In Your Dreams also features the voices of Gia Carides, SungWon Cho, and Zachary Noah Piser.

In Your Dreams hits Netflix Nov. 14.

Bose introduces new QuietComfort earbuds, SoundLink speakers, and a summery yellow colorway

Mashable - Thu, 06/12/2025 - 09:00

Bose is kicking off the summer with new product launches in the QuietComfort and SoundLink lines. On June 12, the brand announced the QuietComfort Ultra earbuds (2nd Gen), SoundLink Plus portable speaker, and SoundLink Micro Bluetooth speaker (2nd Gen). The SoundLink Plus speaker is available for preorder now, and the QC Ultras and Micro are scheduled to arrive later in the summer.

Sitting between the SoundLink Flex and SoundLink Max, the Plus is a new mid-range speaker from Bose. It features one subwoofer, one tweeter, and four passive radiators. The speaker has the signature SoundLink look with the powder-coated steel grille and soft-touch silicone that comes in three colors: black, blue dusk, and a new citrus yellow (which I'm personally excited about).

You can pair the Plus with another Plus through Stereo Mode, where one acts as the left channel and the other as the right, or use the on-unit shortcut button to sync in Party Mode with other current SoundLink speakers, including the Max, Micro (2nd Gen), and Flex (2nd Gen).

The SoundLink Plus retails for $269, and preorders begin June 12 (June 18 for the citrus yellow color). General availability begins June 26.

Here's a look at the SoundLink Plus's specs:

  • Up to 20 hours of playback time

  • Full battery charge within five hours

  • USB-C charge-out

  • IP67-rated waterproof and dustproof

  • Shock- and rust-resistant

  • Adjustable three-band equalizer

  • Bluetooth Core 5.4 with multipoint connectivity up to 30 feet

  • Size: 9.1 inches W x 3.94 inches H x 3.4 inches D

  • Weight: 3.29 pounds

The original Bose QuietComfort Ultras are our favorite noise-cancelling earbuds and earned a Mashable Choice award, so we're excited to see them get an upgrade. The new flagship model brings enhanced adaptive noise cancellation, improved call quality, and wireless case charging.

Like almost all new tech this year, the QC Ultras have an AI component. On top of Bose's proprietary CustomTune sound calibration technology that personalizes audio and noise cancellation based on the shape of the wearer's ear and the environment around them, Bose is using an updated AI algorithm to help improve Aware Mode. The noise cancellation should be smoother when adjusting to sudden spikes of noise, meaning audio won't be drowned out by a passing train or siren. There's also a new AI-powered noise suppression system designed to improve call quality on the QC Ultras and reduce background noise like wind or passing conversations.

The Bose QuietComfort Ultra earbuds (2nd Gen) come in black, white smoke, and a limited-edition deep plum, and will retail for $299 with a release date later this summer.

A look at the Bose QuietComfort Ultra earbuds (2nd Gen)'s specs:

  • Up to six hours of playback, up to 18 additional hours with charging case

  • 20-minute quick charge provides up to two hours of playback

  • Immersive Audio mode

  • Eight microphones

  • Adjustable three-band equalizer

  • IPx4 water- and sweat-resistant

  • Small, medium, and large ear tips and stability bands

  • Bluetooth Core 5.4 with multipoint connectivity up to 30 feet

On the most portable end of the SoundLink spectrum lies the Micro — a mini speaker that brings Bose's signature sound to a pocket-sized casing. The updated second-generation Micro introduces improved audio performance, USB-C connectivity, a removable nylon strap for carrying or attachment, and Bose app compatibility. It houses one driver and dual passive radiators for improved performance at higher frequencies without sacrificing bass. Like the new SoundLink Plus, the SoundLink Micro features Stereo Mode and Party Mode, allowing it to sync with other SoundLink speakers.

The Micro comes in black or blue dusk and will retail for $129 with a release date later this summer. This is a $10 price increase compared to the first-gen Micro, which retails for $119.

Here's a look at the Bose SoundLink Micro Bluetooth speaker (2nd Gen)'s specs:

  • Up to 12 hours of playback time

  • Full charge in four hours

  • IP67-rated waterproof and dustproof

  • Shock- and rust-resistant

  • Adjustable three-band equalizer

  • Bluetooth Core 5.4 with multipoint connectivity up to 30 feet

  • Size: 4.06 inches W x 4.06 inches H x 1.54 inches D

  • Weight: 0.7 pounds

We're planning to get our hands on the new earbuds and speakers, so stay tuned for our thoughts.

Seth Meyers interviewing Conan OBrien is a chaotic trip down Late Night memory lane

Mashable - Thu, 06/12/2025 - 07:32

Conan O'Brien is back in 30 Rock again, this time appearing on Late Night — the very show he hosted himself for 16 years.

But unlike his comically explosive appearance on The Tonight Show in 2024, his interview with Seth Meyers feels like more of a light-hearted – and occasionally chaotic – trip down memory lane, with O'Brien recounting his own experiences on the show (which he at one pointed wanted to rename Nighty Night) and all of the more bizarre sketches that came with it.
