One of the newest additions to the Amazon Echo family, the Echo Spot serves as a fancy alarm clock to help you wake up and wind down each day with smart features. If your morning routine could use a boost, now's a great time to grab one, as it's down to its lowest price this year.

As of June 2, the Echo Spot is on sale for just $59.99 at Amazon. That's $20 or 25% off the list price of $79.99 and the first time it's dropped this low without a coupon code since Black Friday 2024. Plus, when you purchase the Echo Spot, you'll unlock this deal on a WiZ smart bulb for $1.99 (reg. $10.99).

While it doesn't have an integrated camera like other Echo devices, as that would be very creepy, it does most of the things you'd expect from an Alexa-enabled gadget. It'll wake you up with your favorite tunes or a custom alarm, lull you to sleep with white noise, check the weather, stream music, set reminders, and even control your other smart devices – including the WiZ smart bulb you can snag with this deal. You can have it gradually brighten your smart bulb as you wake up to your morning playlist for a full-blown wake-up routine.

The Spot is a little bigger than the Echo Pop and Echo Dot at 4.5 inches by 4.4 inches, but it's just the right size for a nightstand. It also comes in three color options to suit your palette — and all three are on sale.

The best tech deals to shop this week

This 20-year-old earns $50K a month from TikTok Shop. Heres how she did it.

Mashable - Mon, 06/02/2025 - 11:43

Every weekday, like clockwork, Grayson Finks sits down at her desk in Charleston, South Carolina, and enters the digital hustle. From 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., the 20-year-old TikTok creator records, edits, and posts at least 10 videos a day, each one crafted to promote products on TikTok Shop. It’s a demanding schedule, but the payoff is massive.

Finks says she earns between $35,000 and $50,000 every month, and over the past two years, she says she's made more than $3 million in product revenue — all from the comfort of her home, with her golden retriever, Beau, often curled up nearby. With over 176,000 followers, her presence on TikTok is her primary engine of success, and remarkably, it's the only social platform she actively uses to make money.

"I'm trying to move my fashion presence over to Instagram, but as of right now, those aren't really like helping me do anything," Finks told Mashable. 

"It's a great learning tool, even if it does disappear."

For now, she's keeping her Instagram personal, but that doesn't mean keeping all her eggs in one basket doesn't scare her.

"It's terrifying," Finks said about the potential TikTok ban. "December through February was excruciating. Sales were crazy. The app was going in and out of the App Store. It's fun to say that this is my job, but my job could be taken away from me tomorrow, and I've still got bills that I've committed to that I'm going to have to pay. I take a risk every single day by choosing to use [TikTok] as my full economic stability. But it's worth it. So far, I can't predict the future, and I don't know what's going to happen, but I know that the marketing tools and the things that I've learned on this app, I'd be able to recreate it on another platform in order to grow again. It's a great learning tool, even if it does disappear."

Mashable sat down with Finks over Zoom to talk about how she makes money, how she separates her real life from her life online, how she built her TikTok Shop empire — and how you can, too.

It depends. I do different kinds of videos. TikTok sometimes rewards no effort at all. You can make really quick videos, and if they have the right hook, the right marketing tactic, people will go for it, and you'll get a bunch of sales. But other times it takes hours of editing. Maybe it's a product that people have already promoted over and over and over again, and you've got to give it something new. That takes a while for me to set up because I'm also setting up all the lighting, background editing, and doing everything by myself. So if you put all the time together, it adds up. 

I usually start around 9 a.m. and finish around 4 p.m., but it's pretty relaxed throughout the day. I'm not go, go, go. I can eat lunch and take my dog on a walk.

Can you walk me through your workflow from your ideation to posting something?

I get new packages usually every other day. I give myself a package session where I get to open things up in the morning and plan out what I want to film for the day. A lot of opening the packaging also has to do with choosing what's good to be promoted and what's not. Because the truth is TikTok Shop has a lot of really cheap, not-great stuff that you, as the marketer, have to go through and you have to say, "I can make a couple of dollars off this, but when people get this in the mail, they're going to give me really bad reviews. So I really shouldn't do that." You have to go through that, choose what you want to prioritize, and then I usually start from whatever outfit I'm most excited about.

After that, I immediately go to my phone, I edit that video, post it, and then while that video is posting, I start the next one, and I just post them back to back to back to back. A lot of influencers schedule their posts, but I have never gotten into that.

And before this starts, how do you get the products?

I have a recommended page where I can go in on my own profile and shop for free samples. TikTok makes it really easy. All you have to do is click "get sample," commit to filming for it, sign a couple of things, and then they mail it straight to you, and it gets to you within two days.

What if you get a sample that's trash, but you've already agreed to film it?

So it's a little tricky. TikTok has a lot of hidden rules. One of those rules is that you have to film the samples or you're going to be penalized. People approach this differently. Some people will post these samples and be like, "Hey guys, I got these, these are all trash. Don't buy them, but I have to link them." I don't usually do that because I don't want to rub brands the wrong way. Maybe they come out with something later that's really good, and I've talked bad about them prior. I try to be as polite as possible. So, what you can do on TikTok is post things as UGC content, so that it doesn't go directly onto your profile page.

SEE ALSO: How Aden Wang makes viral DIY content without quitting his day job

Let's say I have 10 samples from this week that I don't think are very good. I'm going to film a short video with all of those 10 samples. I'm going to link the samples, and then I'm going to post it as UGC content so it goes into the world of TikTok somewhere, but it's probably not going to get that many views because it's not actually on my profile page and I'm not promoting it personally. So you get to pick and choose what you want to stick on your page. I wouldn't recommend doing that a lot, and I don't think a lot of people do that, but that's how I get around it.

There's also a new thing called a "product selection score." If we get sales on products that are now rated lower than 4.3 stars, TikTok takes away our views and will completely redirect traffic. So I don't want to get any sales on those bad things. And now I'm going back to a point where I'm really trying to request only samples that I can 100 percent post. But it's always a risk because you don't know if it's going to look like the picture.

Where do you find inspiration or ideas for your videos?

My main inspiration, honestly, comes from the app itself. TikTok doesn't get enough credit for how much influence it actually has over fashion today. My For You page is a constant inspiration. I've trained it to be that way. You can manipulate your For You page to give you what you want, depending on what you interact with and what you share, like, and comment on. So right now, my For You page is basically my dream Pinterest board of everything I want to share. 

How do you train your For You page?

I have been specific with it. At the beginning [of my TikTok journey], I started promoting a health journal. That's what I started with because I was going through my own health journey, and at that time, my entire TikTok was giving me [videos about] vitamins, journals, workouts, things like that. And I was able to work with that for a couple of months, but I only wanted to take my health journey so far. I didn't want my entire page to be about the way my body looked or how my face looked. So by moving over from those products into fashion, the app wrapped its head around that for me and started giving me the inspiration for that. It does a great job.

How long did it take before you saw significant growth in followers?

Honestly, my follower count really hasn't had that much of an effect on my sales. My audience has morphed into exactly what it needs to do, but my follower account has never really skyrocketed. On TikTok, you don't have to have a big following if you have a regular group of people that come to your page and trust you for advice when it comes to clothing or health products, anything like that, that's an influence enough to have them buy the products. You don't have to be this crazy day in my life every single day, have a bunch of followers, in order for people to say, "Hey, that works and I'm gonna try the same thing."

What strategies have you used to gain the trust of that group of followers?

I wouldn't call myself a very typical content creator because I don't give a lot of "day in my life" videos. I don't give a lot of my personal routine because it's very personal to me. And coming from where I was at the beginning of this journey, I knew that what I wanted to create was a platform that I could earn money from, but that didn't put more stress on me and like or make me start acting in a certain way because that's a slippery slope. You can end up really transforming yourself into someone that you don't want to be, but someone that your followers want you to be.

They trust me because I show up every single day and post the same number of videos with new products every single day. That's how I show my commitment to them and connect with them, and people recognize that. 

When I wake up in the morning, I get ready, I film the videos, and when it's time to clock out, I'm done with social media. How do you delineate between what you're willing to share online versus what you keep private?

It has been a learning process. It's always been something that I'm like, "You guys, this has nothing to do with you, so you don't need to know about it." [My personal life] doesn't influence how I act online. It has made me treat this more like a job than anything because when I wake up in the morning, I get ready, I film the videos, and when it's time to clock out, I'm done with social media. I'm ready to go to the dog park. I'm ready to walk around the beach. I live in this beautiful place for a reason. I'm trying to get stuff done during the day so that I can enjoy this place. Treating it like a job has been the best thing for me to not let it creep into all of the different aspects of my life and take over.

That seems pretty healthy.

Yes, because honestly, my mental health is one of the main reasons I started this job. To have the freedom to work from home and the ability to travel. But if you let it get to you and start thinking about follower count all the time, it becomes way more stressful than a 9-to-5 that you show up for every single day. You have to control it.

At what point did you know that you could turn your content creation into a full-time career and actually generate income from it?

It all happened very quickly. I was a freshman [in college], and I had literally never earned money to my name other than painting [artwork] and selling it. That's how I was buying the groceries. I had a couple of thousand followers on my account at the time. And my friend came to me and he was like, "Hey, can I buy your TikTok account?" And I was like, "Why would you buy my TikTok account?" And he was like, "I think that I could start selling things on there, and you already have enough followers to be in the program." So I was like, "Wait, if you're gonna do this, let me do this." 

Do you remember the first few items that you started trying to sell on TikTok? 

TikTok rewards you if you have already produced a lot of sales. So, today, I could go on TikTok and request 20 samples. They'll come in the mail completely free to me, and I promote those samples. In the beginning, I had to spend all of my own money. I reinvested everything that I made on TikTok into new samples. And I would scroll and scroll on the For You Shopping page, trying to find things that could go viral or that a lot of people could buy. I just spent my own money, the last money that I really had, paying for my apartment to buy these things that I thought had potential in them.

Once those sales happened, brands started to trust me and send me things of their own to do the same thing. I'm lucky enough to have been able to copy and paste the template and do it over and over again.

How'd you create that template?

You have to play with it a little bit, and I think that's why consistency and not caring what people think matter. You have to let go and try everything because this algorithm is a robot that I promise, if you get the right combination, it'll work. But you have to post these videos of you wearing things, and maybe you look silly. You're embarrassed, you're talking about things that you've never talked about. You're uncomfortable, but you just have to post it anyway. And you have to take the risk.

I had so many people text me at the beginning of this, and they were like, "What the hell are you posting on TikTok? This is so weird. Are you in some marketing scheme? What's going on?" And I was just like, "Don't worry about it. I'm just trying something. I'm just gonna keep going." And now obviously people are like, "How'd you do that?"

How did you deal with that sort of feedback?

I was in a unique situation. When I was in high school, I was a super normal, good kid, with great grades. And then I went to college and very quickly slipped into alcoholism. I was sent to a couple of rehabs, and I wrecked my car. Just a lot of embarrassing things happened to me that I didn't really recognize who I was anymore. And I didn't really [care], to be honest. So many things had shaken me to my core that I basically just left everything behind. I left Memphis, I moved to Charleston, and those people weren't here to face me and question what I was doing anymore. I was all alone in a new city, and I was able to really bloom and thrive.

If people are questioning you, pay attention to those people. Why are they not supporting you in something that you believe is going to be good for yourself? Those people who are bringing you down aren't your people in the first place. And that was a process that I had to learn, too.

Consistency is really the only key that I can give you. What advice would you give someone who's starting out in content creation and looking to build a career similar to yours?

I would say that it's important to know that it doesn't happen overnight, but these small victories are going to get you there. One good day is a stepping stone to you becoming the influencer that you want to be. You can't be hard on yourself. Everything's going to ebb and flow. But consistency is really the only key that I can give you. Be yourself, be consistent, be kind to your audience, and promote good things. 

Bluesky use doubled after Trump election but is still dwarfed by X, report says

Mashable - Mon, 06/02/2025 - 11:39

When Elon Musk took over Twitter and renamed it X in 2023, he also got rid of features that many users, and, particularly, news influencers, loved about the platform. Enter: a whole host of Twitter replacements. Instagram's answer was Threads. Some users migrated to an open-source, decentralized alternative with Mastodon. But by far the most popular Twitter replacement was Bluesky. A new report shows that while news influencers on Bluesky doubled after President Donald Trump's 2024 election, there are still way more news influencers remaining on X.

"The share of news influencers in our sample with a Bluesky account roughly doubled in the four months after Election Day 2024, from 21 [percent] beforehand to 43 [percent] by March 2025. Most of these influencers – including left-leaning ones – are also on X and post there frequently," a new report from Pew Research Center reads. In this case, "news influencers" can be journalists or independent content creators, and don't necessarily have to be connected to a specific news organization. Pew defines them as "individuals who regularly post about current events and civic issues on social media and have at least 100,000 followers on any of Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, X (formerly Twitter) or YouTube."

SEE ALSO: Bluesky ramps up content moderation as millions join the platform

Pew previously sampled the same cohort for its 2024 news influencers project, but didn't include an analysis of Bluesky activity, because there weren't enough users and news influencers on the platform at that time. In their current analysis, Pew found that about half of the news influencers they sampled joined Bluesky after the 2024 election. And, despite Bluesky's growth, it appears most news influencers aren't letting go of their X accounts. As of early 2025, the report shows, 82 percent of news influencers still have their account on X.

"And most of these news influencers with a Bluesky account also have an X account. Only 6 [percent] of the influencers we studied have a Bluesky account but not an X account, while 37 [percent] have both. The largest share (46 [percent]) have an X account but not a Bluesky account," the report reads.

News influencers on X are much more active than news influencers on Bluesky, the report shows. While 83 percent of news influencers on X posted on average four or more days each week, just 21 percent of news influencers on Bluesky post one to three days each week, while 48 percent did not post regularly at all.

The news influencers who flocked to Bluesky are "largely people on the political left," the report found. That shouldn't come as a surprise if you've ever scrolled through a Bluesky timeline.

On the list of Mashable's recommended noise-cancelling headphones for travel, the Bose QuietComfort Ultra earn the coveted number one spot.

Mashable Shopping Reporter Samantha Mangino also loves the Bose QuietComfort Ultras. In her review, she mentioned a fit that wasn't ever uncomfortable, even with hoop earrings.

If you're wearing headphones from the beginning of your commute, all throughout the workday, and until the moment you get back home, these are a worthy investment for comfort, not to mention battery life."

The battery life is also commendable, getting about 24 hours of playtime per charge on Quiet or Aware mode and 18 hours with Immersive Audio. That'll be perfect for summer travel plans.

The M4 MacBook Air is back down to its lowest price ever

Save $161.89: Grab the M4 Apple MacBook Air (13-inch, 16GB RAM, 256GB SSD) at its record low price of $837.19, available at Amazon as of June 2. In total, you'll net a 16% savings on the laptop's $999 list price, but you'll need to opt for the sky blue model to take advantage of the deal.

$999 Save $161.81 Get Deal

Apple products, even MacBooks, go on sale more often than you think, but it's not too often we get to feature that they've hit their lowest price ever.

Just last week, we saw the 13-inch MacBook Air drop down to $849 on Memorial Day, but it wasn't quite the lowest price of the month — earlier in May, the sky blue model on the laptop briefly fell to a record low price of $837.19. As of June 2, the deal is back: you can now grab the 13-inch M4 MacBook Air with 256GB of storage for just $837.19 at Amazon, saving you $161.81 off its list price. Considering Mashable deems this laptop "a really good deal" at full price, this is a markdown worth jumping on.

Beyond being available for a great price, what does the M4 Air bring to the table? For starters, its incredibly lightweight at just 2.7 pounds, making it a great machine for taking on the go. The M4 chip brings plenty of power to the table, even providing enough juice to be one of our top picks for the best laptops for video editing (though if you're doing that regularly, you might want to go for the 15-inch model). All this to say, the M4 MacBook Air is a great all-around laptop. And our testing backs this up — out of all the available MacBooks on the market, we found the M4 Air to be the best MacBook for most people.

In addition the the portability and chipset, the laptop comes with a 12MP camera and is basically silent. It can heat up under heavier workloads, tops out at a 60Hz refresh rate, and limited ports — one MagSafe port for charging, one headphone jack, and two Thunderbolt ports. However, you can connect up to two displays without being in clamshell mode and enjoy 18 hour battery life.

The Samsung Galaxy S25+ just dipped to a record-low price at Amazon

SAVE $250: The Samsung Galaxy S25+ (512GB, Silver Shadow) is on sale at Amazon for $869.99, down from the list price of $1,199.99. That's a 22% discount and the lowest we've ever seen at Amazon.

Welcome to June—it's time for the joys of summer. Long weekends with friends, attending the family reunion, and maybe finally getting good at paddleboarding are all on the to-do list. If you plan on doing all of that with your old smartphone that barely lasts 12 hours, there's a better option up for grabs today.

As of June 2, the Samsung Galaxy S25+ (512GB, Silver Shadow) is on sale at Amazon for $869.99, marked down from the normal price of $1,199.99. That's a savings of $250 from a 22% discount, which is the lowest we've ever seen at Amazon. Be sure to stick with the Silver Shadow colorway and the 512GB storage size to snag this sale price.

Last week, we spotted the Samsung S25 on sale for its lowest price ever of $624.99, and that's still holding true, but if you want an upgraded pick, the S25+ might be the option for you. For starters, the S25+ that's on sale for a record-low comes with a whopping 512GB of storage. That's an asset if you'll be recording video of your summer vacation to share on TikTok. The S25+ is also an upgrade in terms of screen size, measuring 6.7 inches compared to the 6.2 inch display on the S25.

In terms of precious battery life, Samsung says the S25+ should get up to 30 hours of video playback time thanks to the 4,900 mAh battery. That's pretty impressive given the S25 Ultra's miniscule upgrade to 5,000 mAh especially considering the S25 Ultra with 512GB storage is on sale for $1,119.99. Going with the S25+ saves you $250.

In other important stats, the S25+ uses Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy and it weighs 190 grams. If you want thinner and lighter, check out the recently released Samsung Galaxy Edge. Otherwise, now is a great time to snag the Samsung Galaxy S25+ while it's down to just $869.99 at Amazon. Summer activities with a brand new phone that comes with all-day battery life will be a huge relief.

Love it or hate it, the stem-style earbuds design a la AirPods Pro is here to stay. Even Samsung adopted the aesthetic for its newest rendition of the Galaxy Buds Pro. According to Samsung, the switch marks an improvement to comfort and weight distribution — and our friends at PCMag (also owned by Ziff Davis) confirmed the Galaxy Buds 3 Pro much more comfortable than their predecessors. Want to try them for yourself? They're currently on sale for their best price ever.

As of June 2, the Galaxy Buds 3 Pro are down to just $184.99 at Amazon. That's a $65, or 26%, price drop from their usual cost of $249.99 and a new record-low for the buds. That's also $5 cheaper than the current price on Samsung's own website.

Aesthetic isn't the only big change for Samsung's Galaxy Buds 3 Pro. Leaning heavily into AI (shocking, right?), the Buds 3 Pro are Samsung's smartest buds yet. The feature adaptive noise cancellation that can filter out distractions when it's time to focus, or let in ambient sounds and voices when you need to stay in touch with your surroundings. Their adaptive equalizer feature also auto-adjusts your audio in real time based on your fit. The real game-changer, though, is the interpreter feature. You can get real-time translations of foreign languages in Listening Mode, whether during a phone call, TV show, or IRL. You'll need a Galaxy phone to unlock this feature, of course.

The stems aren't just for looks, although they do look sleek and futuristic. They also feature pinch-able and swipe-able Blade Lights that let you control things like volume and song selection. And thanks to a new planar tweeter and dual amplifiers, the buds sound great. PCMag's reviewer praised the "nuanced sound quality with exceptional clarity."

For Samsung users, upgrading to the Galaxy Buds 3 Pro is a no-brainer — especially while they're down to their best price ever.

Fresh iPhone 17 leak gives first close-up look at next-gen Apple smartphones

Mashable - Mon, 06/02/2025 - 10:20

How would you like to see Apple's iPhone 17 Pro Max ahead of time? Well, maybe you can.

Leaker Majin Bu just posted a short video with the caption "iPhone 17 Pro is beautiful." In the video, we see a hand holding a device that matches the rumored look of the iPhone 17 Pro Max; the device isn't working, but it is shown from all sides. It has a big, rectangular, see-through camera bump that extends throughout the phone's width. We also see that the phone's metallic frame has slightly rounded, soft edges.

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

So what's up? Is it the actual iPhone 17 Pro Max?

Probably not. More likely, it's a very elaborate and convincing 3D model based on previous rumors and reports about the upcoming phone.

Bu's got a similarly well-crafted dummy model of the regular iPhone 17, and he posted a comparison between the two models in a pic.

Finally, he also posted a comparison between the iPhone 16 Pro and the (rumored) iPhone 17 Pro camera modules, which implies that the difference, really, is in the camera bump size, with everything else looking roughly the same (aside from the flash and the LiDAR scanner being moved to the side).

Of course, the real difference, according to the rumors, will be inside: The iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max are rumored to have a 48-megapixel telephoto camera, and improved, 24-megapixel front camera, as well as 12GB of RAM, among other upgrades.

We'll find out if any of this is real come September, when Apple will probably launch the iPhone 17 series phones.

One of the best purchases you can make for yourself is a robot vacuum or, even better, a robot vacuum-mop combo. These little gadgets make cleaning your house so much easier, especially if you have pets or children. (Believe me, I have two beagles, so I vacuum a minimum of twice per day.)

Right now, Amazon’s got quite a few robot vacuum deals going on. As of June 2, you can get the MOVA P10 Pro Ultra robot vacuum and mop for $499, down from $799. That's a 38% discount and a $300 savings. It's also the lowest price we've seen on this model so far. (Note: We noticed that MOVA's list price for this model is $599, so we have a small suspicion Amazon is inflating the original price to make the deal look better — but it’s still a good deal.)

The MOVA P10 Pro Ultra has 13,000Pa suction power, which is more than enough to tackle crumbs, pet hair, and other messes. It also comes with an all-in-one docking station that automatically empties dust, washes and dries the mop, refills water, and self-cleans the base. According to the manufacturer, you can go a full 75 days without touching the dust bag.

One of the coolest things about this gadget is that it lets you video call your pets while you’re away from home. You can talk to them and see them on your phone. While we haven’t tested the MOVA P10 Pro Ultra ourselves (we’ve tested tons of others), Reddit users say this robo vac-mop is definitely worth the price. And you know Redditors tell it like it is.

“It's only been a day, but so far I couldn't be more pleased,” one user writes. “Mapping is top notch, visuals through the app aren't disoriented, the camera feature is really cool,” writes another.

Released last July, this is one of the best Hulu bundles available at the moment. Starting at $16.99 per month, this bundle grants you access to Hulu, Disney+, and Max's streaming services for a much lower price than what you'd pay for the three of them separately. It's an incredible deal to take advantage of, especially if you've already got Disney+ and Max subscriptions. There are two plans to choose from with this bundle, and they are:

Best Disney+ Add-On Opens in a new window Credit: Hulu Disney+, Hulu Bundle Basic Disney+ and Hulu with ads for $10.99 per month Get Deal Why we like it

If you don't want to splash out on the full Hulu, Disney+, and Max bundle, the next best thing is the Disney+, Hulu Bundle Basic plan. This comes with just Disney+ alongside Hulu, giving you access to each of their ad-supported streaming platforms for as low as $10.99 per month. If you're already subscribed to Disney+ or have been hoping to jump into its library, this is well worth investing in.

This isn't the only Disney+ plan available with Hulu, though. For those looking to jump into an ad-free tier for the Disney+ and Hulu bundle, there's the Disney+, Hulu Bundle Premium plan that'll cost you $19.99 per month instead. And if you're a sports fan and want to throw in ESPN+, there are also Disney+, Hulu, ESPN+ Bundle Basic and Premium plans, which run for $16.99 per month and $26.99 per month, respectively.

Best Student Deal Opens in a new window Credit: Hulu Hulu Student Deal Hulu (with ads) for $1.99 per month Get Deal Why we like it

If you're a student enrolled at a university, you can score a Hulu (with ads) plan for even lower than the above bundles. Hulu's Student Deal gives eligible college students the ability to buy a Hulu (with ads) plan for just $1.99 per month. Hulu notes that the deal lasts "so long as student enrollment status remains verified," then it goes back up to the standard monthly price.

Hulu's monthly plans

If you're just looking to jump straight into Hulu's library without any fancy bundles, there are a couple of subscription options to consider. The ad-supported tier comes in at $9.99 per month, but you'll get your first month free, which is a great way to test the waters and see if it's the right fit for you. If you want to go ad free, that'll cost you $18.99 per month. Unfortunately, this plan does not offer a free trial like its ad-supported sibling.

If you really want to go big on a streaming investment, there's the Hulu + Live TV plan. This costs a whopping $82.99 per month for its ad-supported plan, but comes with plenty to keep you busy. Hulu + Live TV (with ads) gets you access to 95+ channels, unlimited DVR, Disney+ (with ads), ESPN+ (with ads), and Hulu (with ads). If you want to go even bigger with the ad-free plan — which offers Hulu (No Ads), Disney+ (no ads), and ESPN+ (with ads) alongside Live TV — it'll cost you $95.99 per month. The ad-supported plan also offers a free trial, but for just three days instead.

This is a great way to gain access to both of their libraries for only $1 more than what you'd pay for their ad-supported plans on their own.

If you'd rather spring for the ad-free version of that bundle, Disney+, Hulu Bundle Premium is what you need. This offers both Disney+ and Hulu without ads for $19.99 per month instead. Disney+ also has bundles that throw in ESPN+. The Disney+, Hulu, ESPN+ Bundle Basic plan, which has ads, runs for $16.99 per month, and the Disney+, Hulu, ESPN+ Bundle Premium plan without ads costs $26.99 per month.

Disney+ monthly plans

Disney+ offers two standard plans if you just want the service on its own. The Disney+ Basic ad-supported plan comes to $9.99 per month while the ad-free Disney+ Premium plan will set you back $15.99 per month or $159.99 per year if you'd rather pay annually.

Disney+ has also created an "extra member" plan for people using your account that live outside of your household as they crack down on password sharing. If you're looking to add another person onto your account, you're only allowed one extra profile and can choose from the following add-on plans:

So, why these earbuds? Well, these earbuds boast Qualcomm’s QCC3072 chip and support Snapdragon Sound and aptX Adaptive, meaning they are capable of hi-res audio up to 24-bit/96kHz (iOS is not compatible with aptX).

Noise cancellation is seriously impressive, too. These earbuds benefit from EarFun’s QuietSmart 2.0 tech, which promises to reduce sound by up to 43 dB. Depending on your surroundings, you can choose between different modes: ANC, ambient, and normal modes. For phone calls and voicenotes, both earbuds have three built-in mics and use Qualcomm’s cVc 8.0 to make your voice come through crystal clear. They also come with five sizes of silicone tips and three types of ear hooks, so chances are you'll get an excellent fit.

For battery life, you’ll get about 7.5 hours of listening time per charge (with ANC off), and the USB-C case increases that up to 33 hours. Plenty to get you through long days and even longer playlists.

Elon Musk says X is getting new XChat with Bitcoin style encryption

Mashable - Mon, 06/02/2025 - 05:28

Elon Musk's X is getting a new version of XChat with several privacy-oriented features, including what Musk calls 'Bitcoin style' encryption.

If you're wondering what the heck "XChat" is, it's just a new name for the platform’s direct messages feature, which is now turning into something much closer to WhatsApp or Signal.

We heard that the change to X's DMs were coming back in April, with X pausing encrypted DMs last week. But now it's official, with Musk listing some features in a post on X.

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

According to Musk, the new XChat will have "Bitcoin style" encryption, and will be built with programming language Rust using a "whole new architecture." Besides encryption, XChat will also have vanishing messages, the ability to send "any kind" of file, and audio as well as video calls.

In comparison, direct messages on X currently let you send media files only, and encrypted messages are available only to subscribers, and come with many drawbacks.

It's unclear what Musk means with "Bitcoin style" encryption. Bitcoin uses several encryption mechanisms, including the Elliptical Curve Digital Signature Algorithm for public/private key generation, and the Secure Hash Algorithm 256 (SHA-256) for transaction verification. But a messaging app would require a system for end-to-end encryption of messages passed between participants, and Bitcoin doesn't really have that.

In any case, XChat appears to already be available to some users as a beta feature. TechCrunch recently reported that it's been rolling out to beta testers, with some X subscribers being able to access it.

For under $70, this tablet really can't go wrong. It has a 10.1-inch 1080p Full HD display screen, so it's perfect for streaming your favorite shows, reading, and searching the web. Like most Amazon devices, it comes with built-in Alexa for hands-free control and searching. It also has a 5 MP front-facing camera so you can video chat, take selfies or even film TikToks.

It's not the latest in the Fire range, so if you want something more advanced, we recommend the Fire 11 Max. This option has even more advanced tools and features an 11-inch display, plus faster performance with 4GB of RAM.
