How often do you find yourself losing important things around the house? Maybe you get in for the day and you toss your keys somewhere and have no idea where to find them the next day. Or maybe you have a favorite bag that you use all the time that somehow seems to be misplaced half the times you go to use it. Whatever the case may be, an Apple AirTag is the easiest way to stop losing things, but it doesn't have a way to be attached to anything without an accessory. A clip can make it super easy to add an AirTag to just about anything, and you can get a great one at Amazon right now.

As of May 16, get the Belkin Apple AirTag Secure Holder with Clip for $9.87 at Amazon, down from its usual price of $12.99. That's $3.12 off and a discount of 24%.

This simple clip is easy to lock your AirTag into with its heavy-duty plastic and snap-and-lock design. You just drop the AirTag in, close the clip around it, and you're good to go. It effectively gives you a way to attach the tag to anything with a secure hold that won't suddenly pop open and lose the tag plus your item.

Usually, if you have a keyring to put an AirTag in, you're left at the mercy of needing something to attach that to. A clip makes it so that you can just attach your AirTag directly to a bag, a pouch, a shirt, or whatever it is that you can't lose. Maybe luggage? That's always a good idea to track.

If you're tired of losing things and need an easier way to find them, grab a clip or two and see how it might just change the way you approach organizing your life.

If you ever wished you could clean your pool as easily as you vacuum your living room, now’s your chance.

As of May 16, you can get the Beatbot AquaSense 2 cordless robotic pool vacuum cleaner for just $1,099, down from $1,599, at Amazon. That’s a 31% discount and a $500 savings. It’s also the lowest price we’ve ever seen on this model.

The AquaSense 2 scoots around your pool floor, up the walls, and along the waterline to suck up debris. But unlike most pool vacuums, this little gadget scrubs the waterline twice per pass and doesn’t need to be connected to any hoses or cords.

The CleverNav advanced navigation system maps out the most efficient cleaning route. It’s got 16 sensors (two of which are ultrasonic) and a powerful 10,000mAh battery, so it’ll run for up to four hours on a single charge (three-and-a-half hours of wall and waterline scrubbing). When you’re ready, you can call it to the surface with the app or let it return to the edge on its own when its battery is low.

Yesterday, we reported on a bizarre glitch from xAI's chatbot Grok, which began adding commentary about "white genocide" in South Africa into random conversations about baseball and HBO Max.

And last night, xAI — the artificial intelligence arm of Elon Musk's X — finally admitted it had a problem. In a post on X, the company promised to conduct a full investigation into the glitch, blaming it on "an unauthorized modification" that directed Grok "to provide a specific response on a political topic."

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

Coincidentally, Musk, the leader of xAI and a Grok power user, has a known interest in the subject. In fact, he spent yesterday tweeting about white genocide in South Africa, his home country. In right-wing circles, the "white genocide" theory is a common talking point, although a South African court recently called the issue "clearly imagined."

After outlets like Mashable reported on the glitch, many of Grok's replies about the topic were deleted en masse. And in Mashable's tests, the chatbot stopped answering questions about the controversy in X posts discussing the glitch. (Normally, Grok will respond to users who tag @grok in X posts.)

As news of the glitch went viral on May 15, users on X began roasting xAI and Musk, and even OpenAI CEO Sam Altman piled on.

“Go Mama, go Mama, go!” My two-year-old was cheering from the back of the bike as I huffed and puffed up a steep hill, his six-month-old brother strapped into a front seat and a backpack full of our gear for the day — computer, diapers, lunches — pulling me down. My thighs were burning, my heart pounding, and yet I had to laugh. This was motherhood and bicycle commuting colliding. That moment was both hilarious and humbling.

I had been commuting by bike for years, proudly pedaling my steel-framed road bike through rain, wind, and traffic. But with two kids and a full load, I was hitting my physical limit. Something had to give.

Cycling has long been part of my identity. I met my husband volunteering with Bike East Bay (then the East Bay Bicycle Coalition), and biking wasn’t just how we got from A to B — it was a lifestyle. Riding brought us joy, health, and a deep sense of community. It gave us freedom. But those early parenting years were physically intense, and the logistics of hauling two tiny humans, their gear, and the day’s essentials started to make my beloved road bike feel like an anchor. We wanted to remain a one-car family, but our setup wasn’t sustainable.

That Christmas, Santa delivered a miracle: a beautiful Xtracycle E-Swoop, which I quickly dubbed the “minivan of bikes.” It was sleek, sturdy, and — most importantly — electric. (It also fit both me at 5 feet tall and my husband at 6 feet.) From the very first ride, I felt the difference. I could now carry both kids, a full week’s groceries, and yes, even 12 rolls of toilet paper without breaking a sweat. The steepest hills in Berkeley and Oakland no longer intimidated me. Suddenly, what had felt like a daily challenge became a joyride.

The Xtracycle transformed our routines. Morning drop-offs were smoother, errands quicker, commuting times slashed — and we no longer had to play Tetris with car seats and boosters. We’d zip to the park as a family, often picking up friends or extra kids along the way. On weekends, we started participating in a monthly kids’ bike parade. It's one of my favorite traditions: We strap our children’s bikes onto ours, ride over as a family, and join a sea of young cyclists wobbling joyfully through the neighborhood. With the e-bike’s power boost, I could ride ahead and block intersections, keeping the route safe for our youngest riders. Our youngest — child number three — who had been sitting on the back of my bike for the past four years, recently made her maiden ride at the kids’ bike parade, and I couldn’t have been prouder.

Now that we have three children and they’ve grown (and gotten heavier!), our biking setup has evolved. I now ride a Tern HSD, a slightly more compact but still powerful e-bike. My husband and I each take a bike and split the kid load. We’ve found our rhythm again — our daily lives revolve around zipping from school to errands to judo, all without touching the gas pedal. On most days, our car just sits in the driveway, unused.

SEE ALSO: We’re geeking out over this actually affordable e-bike

Of course, there are trade-offs. I sometimes miss the simplicity of hopping on a regular bike without worrying about battery life or remembering to charge it. And yes, the upfront cost of an e-bike can be daunting. But mostly, I feel lucky that these bikes exist — and that there are now so many models to fit different needs and budgets. When I think about how much we've saved on gas, car maintenance, insurance, and time — not to mention the reduced stress — it’s worth every penny. Plus, the benefits to my mental and physical health are huge. I’m outside, moving my body (e-biking can still be hard if you resist riding in Turbo mode all the time), spending time with my kids, and staying connected to my community.

E-bikes break down so many barriers. Whether it’s climbing hills, carrying cargo, recovering from an injury, or simply keeping up with a busy family life, they make biking accessible to more people. I’ve seen older adults, parents with toddlers, and folks who never thought they could bike start riding again because of the confidence an electric boost provides.

There’s also something empowering about choosing a bike over a car. It’s a small rebellion against traffic, pollution, and the idea that life has to be rushed and noisy. On a bike, life slows down just enough — you notice things. You make a spontaneous stop for ice cream. You talk to your kids. You never get a parking ticket. You feel the wind shift before the rain comes.

Now, when I pull up to the grocery store and snag the prime “parking spot” right by the door, I can’t help but smile — it’s one of the quiet perks of traveling by bike. People often ask about my ride, and I love how quickly curiosity turns into excitement when they see how easy and fun commuting this way can be.

We’re still riding strong — two e-bikes, three kids, and one (mostly) happy family navigating the ups and downs of life with an electric boost. To anyone considering the switch: get curious. Test ride. Ask questions. You don’t need to be an athlete or a gearhead to make it work. You just need to be willing to try.

And if you hear a tiny voice behind you yelling, “Go Mama go!” — you’ll know exactly how I got here.

That pile of unsold Cybertrucks in a Tesla parking lot? It's getting bigger by the day.

Despite its controversial styling and the fact that it gets recalled nearly every other month, Tesla Cybertruck was still the best-selling fully electric pick-up truck in America — until now.

According to data from S&P Global Mobility (via InsideEVs), in the first three months of 2025, there were 7,126 Cybertruck registrations in the U.S. That was only good enough for second place, behind Ford's F-150 Lightning which had 7,913 registrations. Next in line was the Chevrolet Silverado EV, followed by GMC Sierra EV, Rivian R1T, and the GMC Hummer EV.

SEE ALSO: Womp, womp: Tesla kills the $16,000 Cybertruck Range Extender

Tesla doesn't officially share sales figures per each model. Another source reports Ford sold 7,181 F-150 Lightning units in Q1 2025, but that's still ahead of Cybertruck.

Wait, you're saying that this is not the best-selling EV truck in the U.S.? How is that even possible? Credit: Anadolu/Getty Images

The numbers look even worse for Tesla if you compare them with the last quarter of 2024, when Cybertruck had 12,991 registrations. The quarter before that, Tesla sold 16,692 Cybertrucks, meaning that sales have now been on the decline for two consecutive quarters. Tesla recently introduced a more affordable Long Range model; whether that will be enough to increase sales remains to be seen.

Ford can celebrate this small victory, but the F-150 Lightning sales figures aren't that great given that the company sold 183,202 F-series trucks total in the first quarter of 2025. It appears that electric pick-up trucks aren't as lucrative as manufacturers once thought they'd be, especially if the CEO keeps antagonizing potential customers.

The Cybertruck is only available in the U.S., but Tesla sales are plummeting globally, too. The company is hoping that a redesigned Model Y — the company's best-selling model — will make things better, but so far the signs point to no.

Originally created by engineer Josh Wardle as a gift for his partner, Wordle rapidly spread to become an international phenomenon, with thousands of people around the globe playing every day. Alternate Wordle versions created by fans also sprang up, including battle royale Squabble, music identification game Heardle, and variations like Dordle and Quordle that make you guess multiple words at once. 

Wordle eventually became so popular that it was purchased by the New York Times, and TikTok creators even livestream themselves playing.

The best Wordle starting word is the one that speaks to you.

If you're reading this, you're looking for a little help playing Strands, the New York Times' elevated word-search game.

Strands requires the player to perform a twist on the classic word search. Words can be made from linked letters — up, down, left, right, or diagonal, but words can also change direction, resulting in quirky shapes and patterns. Every single letter in the grid will be part of an answer. There's always a theme linking every solution, along with the "spangram," a special, word or phrase that sums up that day's theme, and spans the entire grid horizontally or vertically.

By providing an opaque hint and not providing the word list, Strands creates a brain-teasing game that takes a little longer to play than its other games, like Wordle and Connections.

The NYT's latest daily word game has become a social media hit. The Times credits associate puzzle editor Wyna Liu with helping to create the new word game and bringing it to the publications' Games section. Connections can be played on both web browsers and mobile devices and require players to group four words that share something in common.

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

Each puzzle features 16 words and each grouping of words is split into four categories. These sets could comprise of anything from book titles, software, country names, etc. Even though multiple words will seem like they fit together, there's only one correct answer.

If a player gets all four words in a set correct, those words are removed from the board. Guess wrong and it counts as a mistake—players get up to four mistakes until the game ends.

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

Players can also rearrange and shuffle the board to make spotting connections easier. Additionally, each group is color-coded with yellow being the easiest, followed by green, blue, and purple. Like Wordle, you can share the results with your friends on social media.

If you're a TikTok user under 18 and scrolling after 10 p.m., the app will interrupt your feed with a meditation exercise.

Announced in a blog post on Thursday, the social media company's "Meditation in Sleep Hours" feature will be available to all users, but turned on by default for anyone under 18 (meaning users aged 13-17, as anyone younger can't make an account).

"If a teen decides to use TikTok after 10 p.m., their For You feed will be interrupted by a guided meditation exercise, helping them wind down for the night," TikTok's announcement reads. "If a teen decides to spend additional time on TikTok after the first reminder, we show a second, harder to dismiss, full-screen prompt."

SEE ALSO: How 'cozy gaming' is taking mindfulness mainstream

If you're over 18, you can turn on Sleep Hours in TikTok's settings under "Screen Time."

Whether teens will actually engage with the meditations remains to be seen. In the feature's testing phase, TikTok said "98 percent of the teens kept the meditation experience switched on." That doesn't mean these users necessarily participated in the meditation. It's a rarely asked question, exactly what teens want to boost their mental health.

The feature comes as TikTok scrambles to address the impact of its app on teen mental health and "encourage young people to switch off at night." TikTok has been under pressure to actually prioritise teen safety and health, especially amid an ongoing lawsuit alleging the platform chose profit over protecting young users by falsely advertising its "addictive algorithm". TikTok launched parental monitoring tools and app limits for teens in March 2025, enabling parents more control over screen time and the ability to see followers on children's accounts.

Featured Video For You Tips and tricks for practicing mindfulness

A 2024 survey of U.S. teens ages 13 to 17 by the Pew Research centre found "four in 10 or more teens say social media platforms hurt the amount of sleep they get (45 percent), as well as their productivity (40 percent)." Another 2024 Pew study found nearly half of U.S. teens are “almost constantly” online, with TikTok used by about six in 10 teens.

It's not just teens, either. A 2022 study by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine found "80 percent of Americans said they have lost sleep because they stayed up 'past their bedtime' to view or participate in social media." But this rises to 93 percent for Gen Z Americans.

Alongside Thursday's announcement, TikTok also said it was donating $2.3 million of its Mental Health Education Fund in ad credits to 31 mental health organizations including the Crisis Text Line, Alliance for Eating Disorders, and Active Minds.

Ironically, TikTok itself actually holds a wealth of mindfulness experts, including those who point to meditation.

Young Mazino is such a cool customer that even dropping a (sort of) spoiler for The Last of Us Season 2 while on The Tonight Show barely phases him.

In the clip above Jimmy Fallon asks the actor to set up what's happening on the HBO adaptation this season, to which he responds: "Well, the two main characters, Ellie and Dina, are in a war zone trying to enact their revenge, because Pedro Pascal's character Joel got viciously murdered by somebody from the WLF..."

That's about as far as he gets before Fallon cuts in with a "spoiler alert", and Mazino is forced to sheepishly apologise to the audience.

"Sorry I'm new to this whole thing, I assumed everybody here had watched the show," he grins. "Let me take that back. I'm just kidding. None of that happens."

In his defence, it's been a good few weeks now since that episode.

The Daily Show's Jon Stewart has already taken a deep dive into Donald Trump's airplane gift from Qatar, but in the video above Desi Lydic takes on right wing media's reaction to it.

"So why is the left trying to cockpit block our favorite president? Well I've been watching Fox News for 747 hours straight, and I'm ready to Foxsplain why it would be more scandalous not to accept a free jet from Qatar," says Lydic, embodying the energy of the pundits she shares clips of.

"How about instead of focussing on whether the plane is objectively illegal, you focus on the fact that it's objectively badass," she says. "The current Air Force One is 40 years old. All it does is nag nag nag nag nag nag nag. The new plane does pilates."

In Apple TV+'s sci-fi adventure Murderbot, a security cyborg (Alexander Skarsgård) frees itself from human command and devotes itself to watching thousands of hours of its favorite shows. Yes, it still provides security for human clients, but it also thinks that "humans are fucking stupid."

SEE ALSO: 'Murderbot' review: Alexander Skarsgård leads a charming adaptation of a sci-fi favorite

Despite its disdain for humans, Murderbot has a lot in common with us. Even the show's cast agrees!

Mashable entertainment reporter Belen Edwards sat down with Murderbot's ensemble — Alexander Skarsgård (Murderbot), Noma Dumezweni (Mensah), David Dastmalchian (Gurathin), Sabrina Wu (Pin-Lee), Tattiawna Jones (Arada), Akshay Khanna (Ratthi), and Tamara Podemski (Bharadwaj) — to see which characteristics they share with Murderbot itself.

"All of them?" Skarsgård quipped. "Maybe that's something I need to talk to my psychiatrist about."

He continued: "I really related to Murderbot. There's a lot of humanity there, and that was just super fun to explore over the course of the season."

"Buckle up everyone, the man's been up for four days, this is a jet lag weave. This could get bumpy."

That's Daily Show host Jordan Klepper's warning as he plays a clip of Donald Trump talking at a roundtable of defense contractors during his Middle East tour, starting off with military drones before going off on a truly hard-to-follow tangent about lumberjacks, and then Joe Biden, and then Pete Buttigieg riding a bike to work.

"At this point everyone in the room was probably like, 'Can we just give you our bribe and go home?'" says Klepper.

"We went from drones, to lumberjacks, to Sean Duffy, to Pete Buttigieg, back to Sean Duffy as a sexy lumberjack, and I won't play the rest for you because he went on for 13 more minutes, with mentions — and this is all true — of the stock market, he got into there for a little bit, Lee Greenwood obviously, and the 2020 election being rigged. And in case you're wondering when he weaved his way back to the drones, he never f***ing did."

This week, President Donald Trump's Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent announced a temporary trade deal between the U.S. and China. For 90 days while negotiations continue, U.S. tariffs on China will be slashed from 145 percent to 30 percent, while China's reciprocal tariffs on U.S. goods will go down from 125 to 10 percent.

For many industries that rely on China to manufacture goods, this is an (interim) relief. As Mashable previously reported, the vast majority of vibrators sold in the U.S. are made in China, so the trade war could kill their buzz.

In April, the sex toy company Dame announced a "Trump tariff surcharge" for its customers: $5 when Trump set the tariff rate at 54 percent and $15 when the rate surged to 145 percent. Now, Dame has removed the surcharge due to the deal.

"We made the point," Dame co-founder and CEO Alexandra Fine told Mashable. "[The tariffs are] not as high, and the surcharge is a terrible customer experience and confusing. People were kind of confused by it." Fine also posted on LinkedIn about the change.

The surcharge initially showed up when customers checked out. 

"I was giving people the experience that I was having," Fine continued. When shipping products from China, she received a higher bill than expected, and she passed that on to customers. She compared it to telling employees they weren't getting Columbus Day (now sometimes known as Indigenous Peoples' Day) off.

"Then I realized, 'Oh, now I'm like Columbus, because I'm making everybody work on a day that everybody else has off," Fine said.

So Dame stopped charging people the surcharge but said the product was $15 more (though the customer wasn't paying it) to be transparent about how tariffs are impacting the company. But that was still confusing. 

With the surcharge now removed, Dame will absorb the additional costs of the 30 percent tariff rate. "In this case, it doesn't make sense to drop your prices all the way back down, because it's still 30 percent," she said. "That being said, we are going to be dropping our prices pretty much back to normal. So that's really exciting."

Asked whether she foresees Dame increasing prices, Fine said, "Mostly no…We're going to eat most of it." Dame wants to be competitive in the market and offer quality products at reasonable prices.

When preparing for the 145 percent tariffs, Dame decided to aggressively plan. The company held more inventory in China ("splitting" orders) and opened a warehouse there, too. Now that tariffs are down, Dame isn't doing the former — instead bringing all of the orders to the U.S. — but it'll keep the warehouse. 

While the online customer reaction to the surcharge was overall positive due to the company's transparency, it didn't translate into sales. The rate of completing a charge on Dame's checkout page dropped 33 percent on the first day it implemented the surcharge compared to the week before, Fine said.

The tariffs also caused instability when selling to retailers who distribute Dame products. Shifting prices is more complicated when selling through third-party companies than when selling only on the company's own website.

Even though the surcharge is removed, Fine plans on continuing to advocate for freer trade agreements. "I am definitely relieved from a cash perspective, but from an operational perspective, or a general [perspective], am I happy? No," said Fine. "This is still not ideal."
