Is Reddit down? Why Reddit is not showing images, saying ‘no internet connection’

Mashable - Mon, 05/18/2026 - 14:26

Reddit services are disrupted, and the company says it has identified the problem and is working on a fix.

According to Reddit's status page, the platform began investigating elevated site errors and issues accessing media around 1:39 p.m. ET Monday.

By 2:06 p.m. ET, Reddit confirmed it had identified the issue, warning users they may encounter errors and general loading issues across feeds, posts, and search in the meantime. Recently uploaded images and videos are also affected and may not appear as expected. Desktop web, mobile web, and native mobile apps are all showing degraded performance.

The most commonly reported issues are app-related, followed by website problems, and then feed and timeline issues, according to DownDetecto (formerly owned by Mashable's parent company, Ziff Davis).

No timetable has been given for a full resolution. We'll update this story as more information becomes available.

How to watch Google I/O 2026

Mashable - Mon, 05/18/2026 - 14:13

Google I/O 2026 kicks off tomorrow, May 19, and you won't need a ticket to catch any of it. The entire two-day event is livestreamed, and you can register to watch for free at io.google/2026.

How to watch Google I/O 2026

The main Google keynote starts at 10 a.m. PT / 1 p.m ET on May 19. The focus will be big-picture announcements, product reveals, and whatever CEO Sundar Pichai wants the world to walk away talking about (mostly Gemini, Google's AI product). You can find an embed to the YouTube stream of the keynote below:

In addition, our sister site CNET will be hosting a Google I/O live viewing party, also on YouTube, with live updates from reporters on the ground in Mountain View, California and a pre- and post-show. You can also ask questions and participate in the live chat.

A developer-focused keynote follows the same day at 1:30 p.m. PT / 4:30 p.m ET, which tends to get into the weeds on APIs, tools, and what's actually coming for builders. From there, breakout sessions run through May 20, covering Google AI, Android, Chrome, and cloud infrastructure, including one billed around agent-first workflows.

Based on everything that's leaked and quietly rolled out in the days leading up to the show — new Gemini Live models, a mysterious video generation tool called Gemini Omni, expanded thinking controls, and fresh third-party app integrations — Gemini is going to be at the center of almost everything. The smart glasses situation should get some stage time, too.

Everything we know about Android XR smart glasses

Mashable - Mon, 05/18/2026 - 13:52

Google I/O 2026 is just around the corner and all eyes are on what Google has in store for the year. One big expectation at the annual event are some major announcements involving the company's planned smart glasses.

What we know about Android XR smart glasses

Google debuted a concept of its upcoming smart glasses at last year's I/O. The AI-powered smart glasses featured a full augmented reality in-glass interface with cameras, microphones, and speakers built in. Google also said it would be working with well-known brands like Warby Parker and Gentle Monster to produce an array of styles.

However, since Google showed off that concept, there have been some new developments with the Android XR smart glasses — emphases on glasses.

Google is, in fact, working on more than one Android XR smart glass model.

The first model of Google's Android XR smart glasses has been compared to Meta's Ray-Ban glasses. These smart glasses are equipped with a camera, speakers, and a microphone, and can interact with Google's AI assistant Gemini. There is no display with this model.

The second model notably does have an in-glasses display in order to show the user visual information, such as captions for translations and map directions.

Both smart glass models run on Android XR, Google's smart glass operating system that debuted with the Samsung Galaxy XR headset.

Google previously confirmed that the no-dispay model of Android XR smart glasses will launch this year, so we should get a nice preview of what they will offer at Google I/O. 

The big question is how much more Google will unveil about the Android XR smart glasses with in-glasses display as the company has not yet shared a timeframe for the release of that model. Will we find out at Google I/O 2026? 

Here’s the latest.

The 45+ best Memorial Day deals on TVs, mattresses, tech, and more

Mashable - Mon, 05/18/2026 - 12:57
Best early Memorial Day 2026 deals Best Amazon deal Ninja Slushi $259 (save $90.99) Get Deal Best TV deal Toshiba 65-inch C350 LED 4K Fire TV $264.99 (save $265) Get Deal Best tech deal Bose QuietComfort headphones $229 (save $120) Get Deal

The unofficial start to summer is one week away, but anyone looking to shop Memorial Day deals doesn't have to wait until May 25.

Deals are already live at Amazon, where you can save as much as 40%. There are also plenty of savings from the mega-retailer and across the online shopping sphere on the usual suspects, like mattresses, TVs, furniture, and outdoor patio deals. However, plenty of other brands are getting in on early MDW sales — you can grab the Dyson Airwrap i.d. for $150 off and the Bose QuietComfort headphones for $120 off.

We'll be updating all the best Memorial Day deals throughout the week, so if you don't see anything that catches your eye just yet, be sure to check back soon.

What says start of the summer better than slushies on-demand? When Mashable's Leah Stodart reviewed the Ninja Slushi, pointed out the merits of the Slushi over a regular blender: no ice is required, and it keeps drinks frozen while in its cooling cylinder. From cola slushies to frosé, this might just be the ultimate summer drink machine. It has some downsides (sugar-free beverages are a no-go), but if you're a frozen drink enthusiast, this deal is worth a closer look.

This Fire TV $75 cheaper at Best Buy than the sale price you can find it at on Amazon, but that's only a piece of the picture demonstrating just how good this deal is. Our resident TV expert Leah Stodart pointed out this $264.99 price point is so good that it's less than the sale price of the 43-inch version of Amazon's most basic ember 4K Fire TV. In other words, if you're looking to score a solid deal on a smart TV this Memorial Day, so far, Amazon may not actually be your best bet.

Replacing a busted laptop or losing your favorite earbuds is painful enough without having to pay full retail price to replace them. Memorial Day is historically a great weekend to score discounts on big-ticket electronics (and mattresses!), but finding a real deal among all the manufactured holiday markdowns can be confusing, and a little insulting (looking at you, inflated list prices!).

To help you find the biggest discounts, I sifted through the sales to round up the best tech deals happening this weekend. I prioritized Mashable's favorite tech — so you get genuinely good, vetted gear, not just whatever inventory retailers are trying to clear out of their warehouses.

Read our full review of the Sony ULT Wear headphones.

The Sony ULT Wear headphones are a Mashable Choice Award winner, and they're on sale for $148 at Amazon, which is exactly how much they were during the Amazon Big Spring Sale. While this isn't the lowest we've seen them go for (they were $128 in December of 2024), it's still a great deal considering Amazon is matching the price of one of its biggest sales of the year. If you want something a little fancier, the Sony WH-1000XM6s are on sale for their Big Spring Sale price, too (which is their lowest price to date).

The MacBook Neo isn't on sale yet (it probably never will be because it's already at such an affordable price point), but the brand-new 13-inch MacBook Air (M5, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD) is $100 off on Amazon right now, meaning you can get it for just $999. This isn't the lowest price we've seen the M5 at, but it's close: It was $949 April 6. In our review, Mashable Tech Editor Timothy Werth said the new MacBook Air "takes everything good about the MacBook Air and adds the faster M5 chip."

Plug into savings this Memorial Day by saving hundreds on a portable power station

According to the calendar, summer begins on June 21. But we all know the unofficial beginning is the long Memorial Day weekend, which is coming up this weekend. As we turn to summer activities outdoors, it's time to consider if you need any upgrades for the season.

If you've yet to jump on the hype of portable power stations, now's the time. As camping season ramps up, snagging a powerful model will be great for packing along. It'll keep phones charged up, portable speakers, and earbuds ready for use throughout the camping trip. You'll also be able to use the electric air pump for the inflatables before heading out on the water.

Now that we're seeing Memorial Day sales pop up, it's a great time to get a portable power station. Here are some of the best early deals to shop today. Some might even arrive before you leave for the long weekend trip.

Read Mashable's full review of the Anker Solix C1000 here.

For weekends at the campground, it's impossible to go wrong with the Anker Solix C1000. It has 1,056Wh of capacity for keeping your phones charged up and for plugging in the string lights. If you're feeling like more of a glamping experience, pack along the coffee maker and air fryer for comforts from home and easy camping meals. Unlike plenty of models, the Anker Solix C1000 has a built-in LED light which is excellent for both visibility for getting your devices plugged into the ports but also for illuminating the campsite.

If your summer camping trips might involve wet weather, head out with the waterproof Jackery Explorer 1500 Ultra. Rare for portable power stations, it comes with an IP65 waterproof and dust-proof rating. That means it'll hold up to light splashes or sitting near a pile of sawdust in the work shed.

Read Mashable's full review of the DJI Power 1000 V2 here.

We're all familiar with DJI cameras, drones, and mics, but the brand has been building its lineup of portable power stations in the recent years. The DJI Power 1000 V2 comes with great features for creators, especially those who use DJI drones. The quick-charging SDC ports means super quick recharging of drone batteries.

Even if you're not a creator, the sale price of $386.10 is excellent for a portable power station that offers 1,024Wh of capacity. It also focuses on quiet operation which is great if you'll be using this at home during an outage in a bedroom at night.
