In less than two weeks, Google Wallet users in the U.S. will no longer be able to directly link their PayPal account. So, if you're currently using PayPal for contactless payments on your Android device, you'll need to find an alternative solution.

In an update to the Google Wallet support page first spotted by Android Authority, Google's digital wallet service is losing support for PayPal integration. Starting June 13, "linked PayPal accounts will be automatically deleted and no longer supported," the page read. Google had already started phasing this integration out by blocking new users from linking their PayPal accounts as of April 13.

Google Wallet will still have the option of making purchases through a PayPal debit card. However, they can no longer directly link their PayPal account itself. "At this time, customers looking to use PayPal as a payment method in their Google and Samsung Wallets will need to add their PayPal Debit Mastercard," said a PayPal spokesperson. PayPal announced this update last July, but Google is putting these changes into effect now.

In February, executives introduced a new strategy to transform PayPal from "a payments company to a commerce platform," or what they're calling "PayPal 2.0," according to PYMNTS. This includes expanding its reach beyond online transactions and more ways for merchants to connect with customers. That could include some type of competitor to Google and Apple Wallet, which would let PayPal customers make contactless mobile payments directly through PayPal.

Recently, PayPal announced an update to Android and iOS apps in Germany to enable contactless payments, an early example of this new direction.

It's like reading with your ears; listening to a book triggers the same parts of your brain and feeds your imagination the same way as traditional reading. The difference is it gives you the freedom to multitask as you absorb the stories.

Video game developer CD Projekt Red stopped by the State of Unreal 2025 event to show off new footage from The Witcher 4, the upcoming release in its popular series. The cinematic trailer shown to attendees features a group of traveling merchants ambushed in the dark by a Manticore, a familiar winged beast to longtime fans. We then see our new protagonist and Witcher, Ciri, stepping in to take it down.

That’s where the trailer ends. But for those curious about how CD Projekt is leveraging Unreal Engine 5, there's a tech demo that was shown off immediately after, which you can also watch online.

It’s not a full gameplay reveal, and there’s no release date yet. Still, the studio says the goal is to hit 60 fps with ray tracing enabled on the base PlayStation 5. An ambitious promise, especially after the disastrous Cyberpunk 2077 launch.

Trudging through tasks with an old laptop is not a nice experience. They tend to slow down, get glitchy, and refuse to operate when not plugged into the wall. If you've been dealing with an old(er) MacBook on account of shuddering at a price of a new laptop, Amazon has your back today.

As of June 3, the 15-inch MacBook Air M4 (16GB RAM, 256GB SSD) is on sale for $986.95, marked down from the normal price of $1,199. That means you'll be getting an 18% discount and saving $212.05. And as a bonus, you'll be scoring the laptop for the lowest price we've ever spotted at Amazon.

Dropping over $1,000 on a new laptop can feel a bit upsetting which is why today's deal is a sigh of relief. Equipped with the new M4 chip, the 15-inch MacBook Air also comes with Apple's upgrade to 16GB RAM.

Mashable Senior Editor Stan Schroeder's hands-on testing mentioned the MacBook Air M4 is an overall upgrade in tons of areas. "It's powerful, silent, and comes with a couple of much-needed upgrades. It's also cheaper than before, making it the best-buy Apple laptop, period," wrote Schroeder.

In Mashable's ranking of the best MacBooks, the MacBook Air M4 earns the top spot. One of the only downsides Mashable noted was the refresh rate which is capped at 60Hz. But overall, it's a still a great machine that comes in at an even more affordable price with today's deal.

If you've been dreaming of the day you can snag a new MacBook, today is a great day. While the 15-inch MacBook Air M4 is under $1,000 at Amazon, upgrade to the latest model that comes with plenty of improvements. While we continue to see prices rise, now's your chance to snag a great deal.

We love the wallet-friendly Bose Smart Soundbar, but the Smart Ultra Soundbar takes things up a notch or two. And a 22% price drop makes it a more approachable purchase.

You can grab the Bose Smart Ultra Soundbar at Amazon in black for just $699, down from $899. That's $200 off. While the white colorway has been cheaper once before, this is the lowest-ever price on record for the black option.

SEE ALSO: I've tried every model of Bose headphones and my favorite pair is now $100 off

While we haven't had a chance to test the Smart Ultra Soundbar, our sister site PCMag (also owned by publisher Ziff Davis) spent some time with it and called it "a powerful one-piece soundbar that delivers big sound with plenty of spatial audio detail, and ample audio streaming features." It earned their coveted Editors' Choice award and a glowing 4.5 out of 5 stars.

Its minimal aesthetic can slip into any home theater setup seamlessly without taking up much real estate. But don't mistake its simple looks for a simple soundbar. This thing is packed with features like AdaptiQ, which allows the soundbar to measure your room's acoustics and adjust the balance for optimal sound and spatial imaging based on where you sit. Amazon Alexa is built-in for your convenience, along with Apple AirPlay and Google Cast. And when you open the Bose Music app, you can connect the soundbar to your WiFi network, toggle on features like AI Dialogue Mode, group the soundbar with other Bose speakers, or directly pair it with other Bose accessories. While there's no EQ modes, the app does offer individual controls for bass, treble, center channel, and height channel.

It's a bit steep at full price, but with a $200 discount, it's certainly a worthy option for a one-piece home theater solution.

SWITCH INTERNET, GET A FREE SWITCH: Through June 4, new Verizon home internet customers will get a free Nintendo Switch after the first 65 days of their plan. That's a value of $299.99.

It's officially Nintendo Switch 2 release week, and we're continually being reminded of the chaos this little console is stirring up. As presale stock dwindles, so do your options: If you definitely want to upgrade from your old Switch, you may be brawling in person at your local Target or Best Buy.

If you never owned a Switch at all, maybe settling for a first gen Switch doesn't sound that bad — especially if it were, say, completely free? Verizon has brought back its free Nintendo Switch promo through June 4. It requires switching to Verizon Home Internet and maintaining your plan for at least 65 days. Plans start at $35 per month.

SEE ALSO: I tried the Nintendo Switch 2 GameChat feature, and so far I'm impressed

So this is essentially a total savings of $299.99, though it sounds like even more of a steal compared to the Switch 2's $449.99 price tag — and that's before any games are added to the bill. Unless you'd be buying the Switch 2 specifically to play Mario Kart World on day one (and you'd be valid for that), it might be worthwhile to snag the free Switch to at least hold you over until more Switch 2 games come out.

The main differences between the Switch and Switch 2 include a larger, more high-res screen on the Switch 2, plus HDR and 120Hz support. Obviously, the Switch 2 can handle a shit ton of new games that won't be available on the original Switch. You can also use a Joy-Con as a mouse. The first Switch has lasted people for nearly a decade, so if the Switch 2 possesses similar longevity, splurging on this steep new console now isn't a horrible investment. But until more games are released, it may not be at its best value just yet.

The last two years saw the launches of the Meta Quest 3 and Quest 3S VR headsets, but it sounds like we'll have to wait a bit for the next one. It also sounds like the next one will be something a little different.

UploadVR reported that Meta's next head-worn VR device might launch in 2026, but it likely won't be a big, bulky VR headset like we're used to seeing from Quest devices. Instead, the new report claims it will be a more open, lightweight headset with a tethered puck for processing power, rather than putting all the hardware in the headset itself. That's not dissimilar to the Apple Vision Pro, but there is at least one big difference worth noting.

SEE ALSO: Meta reportedly replacing human risk assessors with AI

According to an older report by The Information that originally shed light on this new Meta device, codenamed "Puffin," it looks more like a pair of big glasses than a headset and weighs less than 100g. That would be significantly lighter than the Vision Pro, which by Apple's own admission is about a 600g device. Puffin would also allegedly not include controllers, instead opting for control via hand gestures. That would limit its viability as a gaming device, but the existence of Puffin may not necessarily preclude the existence of another, more traditional Quest headset somewhere down the line.

Whatever ends up happening, it seems pretty clear that VR companies are finally discovering what the rest of us figured out years ago: Most people just don't want to wear a big, bulky computer on their faces that much.

Plus, with Zuckerberg's focus on AR glasses as the next big frontier in tech, we're not surprised to see Meta shift away from headsets and toward more glasses-like wearables.

I've tested my fair share of headphones and among the models I've tested, Bose always stands out. I've tested every pair of headphones and earbuds from the brand, and honestly, there's not a pair that disappoints. That being said, I do have a favorite: the Bose QuietComfort headphones.

As of June 3, shop the Bose QuietComfort headphones for just $249. That saves you $100 off of its $349 price tag for 29% off.

Bose makes two tiers of their QuietComfort line: the basic and Ultra. The Ultra line is fantastic and includes the most comfortable pair of headphones I've ever tested, but that shouldn't over shadow the affordable basic options. The Bose QuietComfort headphones start $60 less than the Ultras but deliver much of the same benefits.

They offer phenomenal noise cancellation. Having worn them on a plane, they let me keep my peace whether I'm watching a movie in-flight or drifting off to some music. Plus, they life up to their name and are truly comfortable, able to be worn for hours at a time without ear fatigue.

Samsung is urging some Galaxy owners to activate a theft-protection feature.

The company wrote in a statement that it was "encouraging smartphone users across the UK to enable and update the latest anti-theft features available on Samsung Galaxy devices" as a part of the "Home Office's ongoing work to drive new nationwide action to tackle mobile phone thefts."

Samsung wrote it would be sending an alert urging folks to update and enable these features to some 40 million U.K. account holders, though the features could also benefit users worldwide. The company has rolled out a number of security measures in its recent One UI 7 update, which includes biometric security, remote lock, and a theft detection lock tool, among others. While these features were already available with the newest Galaxy S25 models, they're now available on older devices as well.

"These features have now also been rolled out into a range of models across our devices and further updates will follow," Annika Bizon, mobile experience VP of product and marketing at Samsung, said in a statement. "We must do everything we can to ensure the safety and security of our customers when they are using their mobile devices and we will continue to work hard to ensure our customers are aware of the wide range of security features available to them."

To protect customers whose phones are stolen, One UI 7 includes anti-theft features such as instantly locking when theft is suspected, offline device locking, remote device locking, and new identity check safeguards.

Samsung also urged folks to update to its latest software, One UI 7. For further information on anti-theft tools and what to do if your phone is stolen, you can check Samsung's website.

Gamers will appreciate four HDMI inputs (two of which support 120Hz), an automatic gaming mode, and compatibility with Freesync Premium Pro. CNET's Ty Pendlebury particularly shouted out the low input lag on the Pro Series, noting that it has some of the best response times that CNET's team has seen in competing TVs recently.

Picture quality-wise, the Roku Pro Series is pretty mid — this just isn't the punchiest combination of vibrant colors and deep blacks you'll find on a TV in this price range. However, the full array of local dimming zones and mini quantum dots at least promise to provide snappier color than any old LED TV you may be trying to get rid of.
