A good streaming deal is hard to come by in 2026. Subscription prices are rising across the board, but AMC+ isn't playing by the same rules, apparently.

Through May 25, new, returning, and upgraded Annual Premium subscribers can get an entire year of streaming on AMC+ for only $29.99 instead of the typical cost of $109.99. That's $80 or over 70% in savings, which knocks down the monthly fee to just $2.50. After a year, your subscription will revert back to full cost unless you cancel before then. But just think of all of the things you can watch within a 12-month span.

It may not be the most popular streaming service out there, but AMC+ is actually pretty stacked when it comes to content. It's where you can watch the entire Shudder library, making it a must-have for horror lovers. The Lili Reinhart and Lola Tung-led witchy horror Forbidden Fruits will make its debut on the streamer next month. It's also where you can watch AMC original series like the Silicon Valley satire The Audacity and the latest season of the brilliant Interview with the Vampire, now titled The Vampire Lestat, which premieres June 7. You can use this now affordable streaming subscription to catch up on or rewatch the first two seasons before Season 3's premiere. (And while you're at it, you can listen to Lestat's singles "Long Face" and "All Fall Down" on Spotify).

Whether you're looking to broaden your streaming horizons this year or you just love a good streaming deal, a year of AMC+ for just $29.99 is hard to pass up.

UPDATE: May. 6, 2026, 9:40 a.m. EDT This piece was updated to include a statement from Microsoft.

Password managers are supposed to make life easier for users by remembering their passwords and keeping them secure.

However, one cybersecurity researcher has discovered a quite concerning development regarding Microsoft Edge and how the web browser's password manager behaves.

According to researcher Tom Jøran Sønstebyseter Rønning, Microsoft Edge loads every saved password into memory at startup — in plaintext.

In a thread on X, Rønning detailed how the credentials are decrypted even if a user doesn't visit a site that uses the password manager during the user session.

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

"If an attacker gains administrative access on a terminal server, they can access the memory of all logged‑on user processes," ​​Rønning writes.

Edge is Microsoft's proprietary web browser based on the Chromium open-source project, the code base developed and maintained by Google. However, as Rønning shared, this issue involving plain text credentials does not appear in other Chromium-based browsers like Google Chrome.

"Edge is the only Chromium‑based browser I’ve tested that behaves this way," says ​​Rønning. "By contrast, Chrome uses a design that makes it far harder for attackers to extract saved passwords by simply reading process memory."

​​Rønning says he first reached out to Microsoft regarding his findings before publicly disclosing the issue. According to the cybersecurity researcher, Microsoft responded by saying this behavior in Microsoft Edge was "by design."

Mashable reached out to Microsoft for more information about Rønning's findings and received a similar response.

"Safety and security are foundational to Microsoft Edge," a Microsoft spokesperson said in a statement provided to Mashable. "Access to browser data as described in the reported scenario would require the device to already be compromised. Design choices in this area involve balancing performance, usability, and security, and we continue to review it against evolving threats. Browsers access password data in memory to help users sign in quickly and securely — this is an expected feature of the application. We recommend users install the latest security updates and antivirus software to help protect against security threats."

The German tech website Heise Online replicated the password issue. The site also noted that, according to well-established cybersecurity best practices, "passwords should only be decrypted at the time of use and deleted from memory very shortly thereafter."

Given Microsoft's response to Rønning, users concerned about the potential issue should consider alternative password managers and/or make sure their browser and device are set up with the latest security updates.

The latest trailer for Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey has everything: Matt Damon trying to get home (again). The cyclops Polyphemus. Robert Pattinson beefing with Tom Holland. It's truly an embarrassment of riches — and that's before we get into the whirlpool Charybdis or the flashes of the Trojan War.

SEE ALSO: 2026 Summer movie preview: Every film you need to know about now

Adapted from Homer's epic, The Odyssey follows Odysseus's (Damon) decades-long quest to return home to Ithaca following the fall of Troy. He may be the wiliest of strategists, but are those wiles enough to face down the wrath of the gods?

While Odysseus weathers encounters with monsters like Polyphemus and Scylla and Charybdis, his wife Penelope (Anne Hathaway) and son Telemachus (Tom Holland) await his return to Ithaca. They've been overrun with potential suitors for Penelope, including the slimy Antinous (Pattinson). And when I say slimy, I mean rotten lettuce levels of slimy. Seriously, the trailer is worth the watch for Pattinson's nasty threats alone.

Damon, Hathaway, Holland, and Pattinson are only the tip of the iceberg of The Odyssey's extensive, star-studded cast. Zendaya stars the as the goddess Athena, Charlize Theron plays nymph Calypso, and Jon Bernthal and Benny Safdie play kingly brothers Menelaus and Agamemnon.

The film also stars Lupita Nyong’o, John Leguizamo, Himesh Patel, Mia Goth, Will Yun Lee, Jimmy Gonzalez, Elliot Page, and more.

To catch these stars (and get some serious chills from The Odyssey's IMAX-shot visuals), check out the full trailer above.

The Odyssey hits theaters July 17.

Crypto exchange Coinbase is laying off 14 percent of its workforce.

The decision has been made public by CEO Brian Armstrong. In a post on X, he explained that the layoffs are mainly due to two concerns: Bear market, and AI.

"Coinbase is well-capitalized, has diversified revenue streams, and is well-positioned to weather any storm," he wrote. "However, our business is still volatile from quarter to quarter [...] we’re currently in a down market and need to adjust our cost structure."

Cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin and Ethereum, are currently recovering after a sharp downturn that started late last year. The price of Bitcoin is currently at about $81,400, down from its highs of about $127,000 in August 2025.

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

Armstrong also explained that AI is changing how the company works. "Over the past year, I’ve watched engineers use AI to ship in days what used to take a team weeks (...) all of this has led us to an inflection point, not just for Coinbase, but for every company. The biggest risk now is not taking action," he wrote.

SEE ALSO: Was Bitcoin's creator unmasked by the New York Times? Don't bet on it.

Affected workers will get a "comprehensive package" which includes a minimum of 16 weeks base pay for U.S. workers (plus 2 weeks per year worked), their next equity vest, and 6 months of COBRA, wrote Armstrong.

Coinbase is scheduled to release its Q1 2026 earnings report on May 7. The company reported a big revenue decline last quarter, and analysts, for the most part, expect another weak quarter.

The "We were on a break!" argument between Ross (David Schwimmer) and Rachel (Jennifer Aniston) has to be one of the most famous moments in Friends — but, now, over two decades on, Lisa Kudrow sees it in a different light.

"He was a bad boyfriend," she tells Jimmy Fallon in the Tonight Show clip above. "She shouldn't have gotten back with him because he was horrible. To me it's like, I don't care if he slept with three other women or no other women. You had a crisis at work so you weren't available for a few nights and he flipped out, and you're like, 'Wow'."

Take that, Ross.

A24 is bringing Anthony Bourdain back to theaters with the coming-of-age drama, Tony.

It's hard to believe it's been nearly eight years since the death of Anthony Bourdain. The outspoken American chef made a massive imprint on the world, not only through his love of food but also his work as an author and documentarian. He shared cuisine, curiosity, and culture from all over the world through his rich and riveting docu-series like No Reservations and Parts Unknown.

Beyond that, his life and writing inspired the 2006 TV series Kitchen Confidential, starring Bradley Cooper; the 2015 drama Bone in the Throat; and the 2021 biographical documentary Roadrunner, which sparked controversy for its use of AI. Now, Tony will explore the early days of Bourdain's career, featuring The Holdovers' Dominic Sessa playing the man himself.

SEE ALSO: Anthony Bourdain's first time at Waffle House is a spiritual, unpretentious must-watch

Directed by Matt Johnson (Nirvanna: The Band - The Show - The Movie), Tony begins with a 19-year-old Bourdain, spinning out after his ambition to become a writer hits a speed bump. But a job in a kitchen — working under a beguiling Antonio Banderas — will change everything.

Emilia Jones, Dagmara Dominczyk, Rich Sommers, Stavros Halkias, and Leo Woodall co-star in Tony, which will open in theaters this August. But are audiences ready to see someone else play Bourdain this soon after his death?

We'll see.

The soundbar, speaker, and subwoofer, when paired, created room-filling sound sure to wow anyone who takes their Letterboxd account very seriously. And on top of that, the Lifestyle Collection looks sleek and doesn't scream "tech product."

The Lifestyle Ultra Speaker is decently compact while still packing huge sound. It features three drivers — two front-facing and one up-firing — that allow the audio to truly fill a space, so you get powerful, clear sound no matter where you are in the room. It also features CleanBass technology, supported by a proprietary QuietPort acoustic opening, that delivers bass that doesn't sound echoey or blown-out.

Two Lifestyle Ultra speakers can be paired for a surround-sound stereo setup. And you can play music to as many Lifestyle speakers as you have directly from your preferred music app — no need to connect via Bluetooth. The Lifestyle Ultra Speaker is compatible with Google Cast, Apple AirPlay, and Spotify Connect, and can be grouped with other compatible smart speakers on your network. Additionally, it features a 3.5mm aux port, which is awesome for connecting a turntable. It's also the first to market speaker outside of Amazon's own devices to offer full Alexa+ capabilities.

Price and specs

• Price: $299 or $349 for driftwood sand color

• Available speaker configurations: 1.0, 2.0, 7.0.4, 7.1.4

This marks the first major soundbar redesign from Bose in over a decade. The Lifestyle Ultra Soundbar features a new acoustic architecture with six full-range drivers (four front-facing and two up-firing), a center tweeter, and two Bose proprietary PhaseGuide drivers. It can play Dolby Atmos content and has SpeechClarity technology that ensures dialogue stands out at any volume, with three adjustable dialogue levels. CustomTune uses your phone's microphone to analyze the acoustics of your room to optimize audio output performance. Like the speaker, the soundbar features CleanBass technology.

While showing off the Lifestyle Ultra Soundbar, a Bose rep toggled on and off the SpeechClarity setting, and I was instantly sold. I sometimes struggle to hear dialogue, but I hate using subtitles, and this technology feels like it was made for me specifically. It pushed the dialogue of a noisy scene without distorting any of the background sound.

The Lifestyle Ultra Soundbar also looks incredibly sleek and sports a tactile dial that allows users to control volume levels without picking up their TV remote or phone.

To illustrate just how truly bizarre a place the president's Truth Social feed is, Jimmy Kimmel spent a couple of minutes breaking down what Trump posted between 11pm and midnight last Friday.

"At 11:13 he posted a thinly veiled, but definitely racist note about House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, followed two minutes later with a warning to Iran that said 'I have all the cards', holding a bunch of Uno cards — which is a game you win by having no cards," says Kimmel in the clip above. "This is what happens when you don't play with your children."

Summarising the president's posting habits, Kimmel goes on to reference a recent Daily Beast article that claimed Trump could only have gotten a full night's sleep five days in April, based on his feed.

"Last month he posted an average of 18 times a day," says Kimmel. "If you had a relative who was posting 18 times a day, you'd be worried about him, right?"

Amid the second phase of a high-profile child safety trial in New Mexico, Meta is announcing new measures designed to ensure teens on its platforms are subject to age-related protections.

Meta announced in a blog post Tuesday that parents in the U.S. on two of its social media platforms, Facebook and Instagram, will receive a notification with details about how to check and confirm their teens' ages on the company's apps.

All users that Meta has identified as a parent, not just adults who supervise a Teen Account, will receive the notification. The notification will include a link to a blog post Meta published a year ago on how to talk to teens about the importance of providing their correct age.

Meta also announced that age-detection technology will roll out to 27 countries in the European Union and Brazil. Additionally, the technology will apply to U.S. Facebook users for the first time.

In April 2025, Meta began using AI to identify teen users who listed an adult age in their account. The technology re-assigns those users to Meta's Teen Account product, which the company says has more stringent safety protections.

In the fall, independent experts who tested Teen Accounts published a report alleging that the product doesn't work as advertised. Among their findings, the researchers documented instances in which the guardrails failed to prevent inappropriate contact with strangers.

SEE ALSO: EU says Meta hasn't done enough to prevent minors under 13 from using Instagram and Facebook

On Tuesday, Meta said that its AI technology would begin to analyze user profiles for "contextual clues" of their age, simplify the process for reporting suspected underage accounts, and strengthen its ability to stop underage users from opening new accounts.

Meta noted in its blog post that it believes lawmakers should require app stores to verify user age and provide that information to apps and developers.

Meta back on trial

Meta lost the first phase of the New Mexico trial in March when a jury found the company liable for misleading consumers about the safety of its platforms and endangering children. The suit was filed by the state's attorney general.

Meta has been ordered to pay the maximum penalties for each violation of New Mexico’s consumer protection laws, amounting to $375 million. The company has said it plans to appeal the decision.

In the bench trial, New Mexico's Department of Justice is seeking injunctive relief requiring Meta to pay additional damages of $3.75 billion and implement specific changes to protect children.

The proposed policies include effective age verification, blocking children under 13, limits on end-to-end messaging encryption for minors, and permanent bans for adult users who engage in or facilitate child exploitation.

Last week, Meta threatened to shut its platforms down in New Mexico in response to the state's demands.

"Many of the requests are technologically or practically infeasible and would essentially force Meta to build entirely separate apps for use only in New Mexico," the company said in its court filing, according to The Guardian. "Therefore, granting onerous relief could compel Meta to entirely withdraw Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp from the state as the only feasible means of compliance."

In court on Monday, Meta's counsel Alex Parkinson reiterated that stance, arguing that granting the state's injunctive relief in full would "genuinely make it untenable to continue offering Meta's products" in New Mexico.

State Attorney General Raul Torrez said that Meta is putting advertising revenue and profit ahead of the "safety of children."

"We know Meta has the ability to make these changes," Torrez said in a statement. "This is not about technological capability."

Samsung's upcoming foldable phones have been revealed in a leak again, but this leak is different, because it comes directly from Samsung.

Android Authority dug through Samsung's new One UI 9 software and discovered images of Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8, as well as the entirely new foldable phone which will probably be called Samsung Wide Fold.

Don't expect photographs; the images are just simple graphics, but they do tell us a lot about these new phones. In particular, the Samsung Wide Fold looks significantly wider than the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8, which looks really skinny in comparison.

That's a large cover display. Credit: Samsung/Android Authority

The images also reveal that the Galaxy Z Fold 8 will have a triple rear camera, while the Wide Fold will only have a dual camera on the back.

Hello, skinny. Credit: Samsung/Android Authority

The designs are in line with previous leaks, renders, and mockups, including the dummy units that surfaced in late April.

Samsung's Wide Fold is widely (no pun intended) expected to clash with Apple's rumored, upcoming foldable iPhone, which will likely have a similar, wide design. This design might make the phone feel a little clunkier in the hand, but should pay off when you unfold it, as you'll get something akin to a small tablet.

As for the Galaxy Z Fold 8, it looks more or less unchanged compared to its predecessor, the Galaxy Z Fold 7.

SEE ALSO: Samsung Galaxy A57 5G falls short of other mid-range options

The rumored specs for the Samsung Wide Fold include a dual, 200/50-megapixel camera, a 10-megapixel selfie camera, a 5.4-inch cover display, a 7.6-inch foldable display, a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chip, and 12/16GB of RAM.

The Galaxy Z Fold 8 will probably have similar specs as the Z Fold 7, but it should get a larger, 5,000mAh battery, as well as 45W charging.

Samsung is likely to unveil its new foldable phones in July.

I spend a lot of time trawling through the depths of the online world to find deals that are genuinely worth your time and money. And no, I'm not talking about those heavily discounted products that have actually been stuck at that "low price" for months. I'm talking about limited-time discounts on the products that I'd actually recommend to a friend.

That's the aim of the game for Mashable's team of shopping experts. We're constantly scanning leading retailers like Amazon, Walmart, and Best Buy to bring you new opportunities to save your precious cash. But we're not satisfied with the current state of affairs. We don't want you to miss a thing, and that's why we landed on the Mashable Deals text group.

Become a subscriber of the Mashable Deals text group and I'll send you the very best deals directly to your phone. You don't need to pay anything to get access to these deals. Simply sign up above and you'll be the first to know about huge savings on MacBooks, limited-time discounts on AirPods, price cuts on items under $50, and all of those other deals that drop throughout the week.

I'll send a Deal of the Day most days. During major shopping events like Prime Day and Black Friday, we may bump this up to a couple of sends per day. But that's only if we come across multiple offers that are truly worth the send. If we track down a bunch of impressively low prices during a busy shopping event, we'll drop those in a single text.

We're not going to spam you. The daily deals that we send to the Mashable Deals text group will have been researched and assessed by the team with the same level of care that we dedicate to the rest of our shopping content.

Signing up for the Mashable Deals text group is quick, safe, and totally free. You can also opt out anytime you like. I hope you give it a try.

We already know that the cognitive test Trump keeps banging on about isn't actually meant to be hard, but nonetheless the president won't stop bragging about it — recently boasting that he's "the only president to take a cognitive test."

"You're the only president to take the cognitive test?" asks Jon Stewart in the Daily Show clip above. "Let me ask you a question: Why do you think that is? Why do you think that you're the only president that that happens to? That for some reason every time you go to the doctor, which is a lot, the doctor's always like, 'Hey while you're here...'"

Stewart then plays another clip of Trump talking about a complex mental arithmetic question that they apparently also asked him, and which he claims to have answered correctly.

"No, Trump is a regular Stephen Hawking," says Stewart. "That's what it is. Although I thought the only thing they had in common was being in the Epstein files."
