The federal government is taking Amazon to task over the difficulty of canceling a Prime subscription.

It's a particularly modern problem: You sign up for a service, perhaps intending to run out the clock on a free trial, then forget to cancel the subscription — or can't even figure out how to cancel in the first place. This issue is so common that there are services that help you cancel unwanted subscriptions — and yes, these services themselves often require a subscription.

This particular case was brought by the Federal Trade Commission, which alleges that the tech giant's Prime subscription may rope in some unsuspecting customers and also proves especially difficult to cancel. The FTC claims that as many as 40 million users have been affected by these practices.

The jury trial begins this week, and as The Wall Street Journal reported, the FTC first sued Amazon in 2023, under the Biden administration:

"The FTC, which sued Amazon in 2023, alleges the company tricked people into signing up for the service without their knowledge or consent, including by obscuring details about billing and the terms of free trials. It says Amazon created a labyrinth to make it hard to cancel, which the company dubbed 'Iliad,' a reference to Homer’s epic about the long, arduous Trojan War. Several individual Amazon executives are also named as defendants."

Jury selection was set to begin Monday, with opening arguments following not long after. The trial should last about a month, The Verge noted.

The FTC alleges that, at one point, Amazon required users to navigate four webpages and 15 options to cancel a Prime subscription. An Amazon spokesperson denied any wrongdoing, telling the Journal that "the bottom line is that neither Amazon nor the individual defendants did anything wrong."

The FTC brought a similar case against Uber earlier this year. In that suit, the FTC claimed that Uber signed up some customers for an Uber One membership without their knowledge, while also making it unnecessarily difficult to cancel the monthly subscription.

So, take this as a reminder to be wary of free trials — that auto-renew really can sneak up on you.

SAVE $330.02: The Jackery Explorer 500 portable power station with a 100W solar panel is on sale at Amazon for $468.98, down from the list price of $799. That's a 41% discount that matches the record-low at Amazon.

Welcome to the official beginning of fall. The season packs in plenty of fun with Halloween (and Skelly's return,) Amazon's October Prime Day sale, a holiday centered around eating, and Black Friday. But while these are usually fun events, fall also comes with some tumultuous weather. Autumn storms tend to come with power outages, and if you're not up for dealing with the fear of a dead phone every time to wind kicks up, check out this deal at Amazon.

As of Sept. 22, the Jackery Explorer 500 portable power station with a 100W solar panel is on sale for $468.98 at Amazon, marked down from the list price of $799. That works out to a 41% discount, slashing $330.02 off the normal price. Today's deal matches the record-low at Amazon.

Before the winds and rain arrive, it's smart to have a plan in place should the power go out. Instead of relying on weather reports and keeping your phone plugged in 24/7, a portable power station gives you the reassurance that you can stay connected without grid power.

The Jackery Explorer 500 gives you 518Wh of portable power. In real life terms, that will recharge a phone about 23 times or keep a TV on for about 7.5 hours. It'll also allow you to use the coffee maker in the morning, get some toast for breakfast, or whip up a smoothie.

Today's deal also comes with a Jackery SolarSaga 100W portable solar panel that will be great for recharging the Explorer 500. Plus, you can charge devices while recharging the Explorer 500 with the solar panel.

Keep in mind the Jackery Explorer 500 uses lithium ion battery cells which is an older technology compared to the battery in every model on Mashable's list of the best portable power stations. That's not to say a lithium ion Jackery isn't a good option, but it does mean it'll have a shorter lifespan before the batteries start losing power.

Jackery says the Explorer 500 should have about 800 cycles before it'll recharge to about 80 percent capacity. The latest technology in portable power stations involves using LiFePO4 (lithium iron phosphate) batteries. Those get about 3,000 to 4,000 cycles before they'll only recharge to 80 percent capacity.

The Jackery Explorer 500 with the 100W solar panel, however, could be great for those who plan to use the portable power station for recharging phones during a power outage or weekend camping trips. Realistically, 800 cycles from a lithium ion battery is still over two years of using all battery capacity in the power power station everyday.

While it's back at a record-low price, get the Jackery Explorer 500 ahead of fall storms. You entire household will benefit from keep phones charged and the ability to make coffee in the morning.

The AC200L has a 2,048Wh capacity and a 2,400W output (with a 3,600W Power Lifting mode) that can run 99 percent of home appliances, including refrigerators, window AC units, and microwaves. It's even expandable up to 8,192Wh with extra batteries if you're looking to build out a more robust system.

One of the most impressive features is its charging speed. You can get it from 0 to 80 percent in just 45 minutes when plugged into a wall outlet, or in under two hours using the included solar panels. It also has a lightning-fast UPS mode that switches over in under 20 milliseconds, so if the power goes out, your computer and other devices won't even flicker.

SAVE $10: As of Sept. 22, Amazon dropped the list price of Apple's brand-new AirPods Pro 3 to $239 instead of $249. That's the first-ever discount for the earbuds, which hit shelves just a few days ago.

Apple's AirPods Pro 3 have only officially been on shelves for three days, but thanks to Amazon, you can already find them at a discount.

As of Sept. 22, the AirPods Pro 3 are on sale for $239 at Amazon. Although it's not listed as a deal on the product page, that's $10 off their actual list price and cheaper than you'll find them at any other retailer. Sure, it's not the biggest discount in the world, but it's their first discount ever. And $10 is $10 — especially in this economy.

One of the biggest announcements from Apple's annual September event, the AirPods Pro 3 are a much-needed upgrade. The last time the Pros got an update was in 2023 and it wasn't much to write home about, with Apple only adding a USB-C port to the 2022 rendition. This time around, Apple delivered the goods. The Pro 3s feature better noise cancellation that's supposedly twice as effective as the second-generation earbuds, as well as better battery life (eight hours with ANC, 10 hours in transparency mode). They also added the heart rate monitoring tech from the Powerbeats Pro 2, Fitness app compatibility, and new foam-infused eartips that fit more snugly in your ears, making the new AirPods Pro a solid contender to overtake our favorite workout earbuds. Apple also finally jumped on board the live translation train (Samsung Galaxy Buds and Google Pixel Buds already have this feature).

In a world where everything is getting more expensive, the most surprising aspect of the AirPods Pro 3 is the price tag. The new earbuds retail for the same price as the previous earbuds: just $249. And for some reason, Amazon already has them on sale for $10 off.

It’s officially that time of year when watching The Holiday on a Sunday huddled under a blanket on the sofa is not only acceptable but compulsory. There's a chill in the air, which means one thing: cuffing season is here. Your Instagram feed will soon be awash with couples cosying up at festive markets, and festive soirées together, it can feel like everyone apart from you has done the unthinkable and found someone to love. 

What is cuffing season?

So, what exactly is cuffing season? And is it a real thing, or merely a marketing slogan designed to get singletons swiping while they lie under a blanket watching Gilmore Girls for the 10th time? If you, like me, reside in the camp of single, flirty and (mostly) thriving, you may find this time of year either overwhelming or mentally strenuous. Cuffing season typically starts in mid-October and ends after Valentine’s Day, with the term originally coined in 2011 when it began appearing in college newspapers. The term comes from African-American Vernacular English (AAVE), stemming from the term "cuffed" which means you’re dating someone. This was around the time it was entered into the Urban Dictionary, too. 

Dating app Bumble told Mashable that this time of year sees an influx of users logging in and swiping to find a match. So if your dating app profile is suddenly popping off, this could be why. 

What's behind this sudden surge in swiping? This need to couple up and find a mate in the colder months comes down to our biology, too, with a drop in serotonin levels causing us to seek out connection. In the northern hemisphere, our days are getting shorter, nights are longer, and temperatures are dropping. Historically, the colder seasons are when humans would be looking for an additional mate or people to spend that time with, as strength came in numbers to forage for food and get through the tough months with. 

SEE ALSO: Welcome to the 'Lover Girl' dating era. It's time to embrace romance.

The shift in seasons can also trigger Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) for some people, a type of depression people experience when the seasons change due to the colder, darker weather. This change in weather and temperature can influence how we feel, due to the fact that our serotonin and melatonin levels change. Serotonin is the ‘happy’ chemical our body produces, so a lack of this could mean we feel lonelier and thus pursue more companionship or physical touch from others. Researchers think that this drop in serotonin could be linked to why we go in search of a mate, and why cuffing season has become commonplace in modern dating. 

Whilst using apps to date and find a match has become the most common method of meeting someone, that doesn’t mean it’s made it any simpler. Eimar Draper is a dating coach and believes this time of year can see us run the risk of settling for situations that don’t serve our true needs and desires. 

"If you're looking for something serious, don’t deviate from that path," Draper says. "It's tempting to agree to just hook up with someone new for the sake of getting to know them, but if you know it’s not what you want long term, then your emotional and mental capacity for handling something casual potentially isn’t quite there."

SEE ALSO: Is Seasonal Affective Disorder impacting your sex life? Here's how to cope. Avoiding situationships during cuffing season

If you’ve been in the dating sphere for the last few years, you’ll know all too well either through lived experience or watching friends go through it that it’s very easy to find yourself a situationship — whether that's what you're looking for or not. With the language of heartbreak more focused on that of people coming out of long-term relationships, the pain of post-situationship heartache is something that doesn't get the validation it deserves. 

In fact, almost 65 percent of singles surveyed by the dating app eharmony admitted to having their heart broken from a short-term relationship or situationship, with 56 percent sharing that their situationship heartbreak was equally or more painful than what they experienced after ending a longer, committed relationship.

SEE ALSO: How to move on after a situationship ends

Draper believes this is due to the fact that we allow things on our deal-breaker list to fall by the wayside when we enter dynamics that lack clear boundaries and expectations. "Sometimes if you're entering into a situationship with the hope of it turning into commitment, you’re not really living in alignment with your values," she says. "I think going against what our needs and wants are from a relationship creates quite a bit of shame for us, which is a difficult emotion to process and one we’re reluctant to honestly share."

Why do we seek connection during the colder months?

So, why does this time of year cause us to seek out and form attachments that perhaps don’t fully serve our needs emotionally? "It's ingrained in us to seek that human connection, but there’s also loads of different societal pressures in the world of dating now, too," Draper explains. "I feel like there's a lot of pressure on women especially now to stand strong in their independence and claim they don't need anybody, and at the same time, there’s an equal pressure for them to be okay with something casual and surface level. Yet, we’re still slut-shamed and judged for doing so."

"It's ingrained in us to seek that human connection, but there’s also loads of different societal pressures in the world of dating now, too."

Open communication and spending time with yourself, she believes, is key to making a healthy and happy relationship dynamic come to fruition. "Spend some time with yourself to figure out and get clear on what it is that you expect out of a relationship," she says. "Unpacking that will naturally give you the boundaries that you are going to need or want to achieve."  

Boundaries also go beyond what you expect from someone face-to-face. Placing digital boundaries is also key to forming a healthy connection. Caitlin Begg is a sociology researcher, with a vested interest in how our communication and digital lives impact our relationships. 

"The way we communicate now is over-saturated and blurs the lines between real life and hyperreality," she says. "Hypercommunication is the notion that the amount of excess inbound and outbound comms we consume is impacting our brains and social behaviours. Which in turn, impacts how we navigate our relationships, too."

SEE ALSO: It's time to reclaim singledom as a symbol of power

Begg’s work has led her to believe that the excessive way we connect now has put our dating timelines in reverse. "Take dating in the '60s, let's say. You had maybe two channels maximum to communicate with someone — the telephone, or through a letter," she says. "Now, there are so many different channels to do so that we’ve fallen into cycles of overcommunication. This causes us to form attachments and ideas of a person before we even meet them, rather than getting to know them in person first and then figuring out their digital communication pattern."

Cuffing season, Begg believes, is a time of year where we collectively focus on the expectations, thinking ahead to how the relationship we form will end up, rather than staying focused on the connection with the individual.

"The way we speak to one another when it comes to dating has changed so much thanks to the advancement of technology," she says. "We need to be careful about how much we let our online presence and perceptions intercede our relationships in real life. Don’t let notification culture force you to project something private that you’re still figuring out into the public sphere just to be seen as successful."

Dating with intention

Cuffing season isn’t just for flings and surface-level connection, though. There’s still an opportunity to seek out a match who’s looking for the same thing as you. Dr. Caroline West, Bumble's sex and relationships expert, believes the low pressure and focus on the fun of the season could see us ending up with a genuine connection, no matter how long it lasts. 

"If you’re dating with intentionality, this time of year is a great opportunity to date and meet new people without the pressure of making it a long-term thing," she says. "Even short-term relationships can be a fulfilling and positive experience, so if you can, I’d recommend trying to see breakups in a new light."

Whilst short-term flings can be fun and serve a purpose, this time of year also brings with it a suddenly very heavily laden social calendar. From family events to work Christmas parties, sometimes the time to date and pursue multiple people is actually hard to find. 

"The pressure to not be seen alone at these events can lead people to enter into situationships, just so they don’t feel embarrassed in front of loved ones."

"People can feel pressured around this time to have a plus one, and having a consistent partner — no matter how long they’ve been on the scene — can make them easier to navigate," West says. "The pressure to not be seen alone at these events can lead people to enter into situationships, just so they don’t feel embarrassed in front of loved ones."

But being alone doesn’t hold the same negative connotations the romcoms would lead you to believe. Recent research from Bumble reveals that many people are now embracing a "Consciously Single" mindset when it comes to dating, with over half of them (53 percent) realizing that it can be empowering to be alone after a breakup.

Regardless of what your goals are for dating right now, the most important thing is to remember that nobody will see you as "less than" if you rock up to the pub solo for festive drinks. Your great aunt at the family Christmas party is only asking if you’ve met someone because she’s curious about your life away from home, and your friends who are coupled up and in love aren’t showing off, they’re just happy. So don’t let the green-eyed monster or fear of being alone lead you down the path of forced connections and half-baked intimacy with someone new for the sake of getting cuffed.

Amazon’s second Prime Day is just around the corner, and this year the retail giant isn’t holding back on the early deals (you can literally find “Early Prime Deals” in the main shopping menu right now). One of the craziest pre-Prime Day deals I’ve found so far is on the Eufy Omni S1 Pro robot vacuum and mop combo.

What makes this robovac worth the splurge is its advanced cleaning system. The S1 Pro has an "Always-Clean Mop" feature that continuously washes its roller mop with purified water while it's cleaning your floors. It keeps the clean and dirty water in separate tanks on the robot itself, so it's not just dragging a dirty pad around your house. The all-in-one base station handles everything from emptying the dustbin to refilling the water take and uses ozone to purify the water and sterilize the mop, which is some next-level stuff (especially for under $500).

With a powerful 8,000Pa of suction and an advanced obstacle avoidance system, it’s a top-tier cleaning machine for anyone ready to make a serious upgrade without spending a fortune.

Star Wars series The Mandalorian makes the leap from the small screen to movie theaters in the upcoming film Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu. The movie marks the first Star Wars theatrical release since 2019's The Rise of Skywalker.

Directed by The Mandalorian creator Jon Favreau, The Mandalorian and Grogu continues the adventures of Mandalorian bounty hunter Din Djarin (Pedro Pascal) and his apprentice (and adopted son) Grogu, aka Baby Yoda. According to the film's official logline, the fan-favorite pair have been recruited by the fledgling New Republic in order to hunt down the last Imperial warlords scattered around the galaxy following the fall of the Empire. Favreau co-wrote the film with Lucasfilm chief creative officer Dave Filoni.

The film's teaser trailer doesn't reveal too much more about Mando and Grogu's extra important mission, but it does offer up some pretty tantalizing glimpses of what's to come, starting with the casting of science fiction icon Sigourney Weaver, who plays New Republic pilot and colonel Ward. The Mandalorian and Grogu's teaser sees Grogu trying (and failing) to use the Force to steal some of Ward's snack. You're going to have to do better than that if you're going to one-up Ripley, Grogu!

The Mandalorian and Grogu also stars The Bear's Jeremy Allen White as Rotta the Hutt, son of Jabba the Hutt himself. The teaser shows off a glimpse of Rotta celebrating a victory in a fighting pit, which even Din deems, "impressive."

Other moments of note in the trailer include the return of Star Wars Rebels character Garazeb “Zeb” Orellios (voiced by Steven Blum), who made his live-action debut in The Mandalorian Season 3, and some high-octane space battles. Check out the full trailer above.
