You’ve probably heard it a hundred times: “Use a strong password.” And you should. However, if there’s one thing I’ve learned from studying penetration testing and ethical hacking, it’s this: a strong password is just one layer. By itself, it doesn’t stop most of the real threats out there.

Here are our top picks for the best Amazon deals of the day. If none of these are your cup of tea, be sure to check out our picks from yesterday. Many of those deals are still live, including the best price ever on the M4 MacBook Air.

$129.99 Save $41.99 Get Deal

After taking the Sony ULT Field 1 speaker for a spin, Mashable's Shopping and Reviews Editor Miller Kern gave it a glowing 4.5 out of 5 stars. While the battery life could be a bit longer (though 12 hours is definitely acceptable), she praised its sound quality, customizable EQs, low-profile design, and bass-thumping ULT setting. It comes in basic black, forest gray, off-white, and a vibrant orange shade (pictured) and each option is currently on sale for only $88. That's 32% in savings and matches the speaker's best price ever from Black Friday.

We're still big fans of the AirPods Pro 2 due to their rich and well-balanced sound profile, best-in-class noise cancellation for earbuds, decent battery life, and of course, seamless Apple ecosystem integration. They're our favorite noise-cancelling earbuds for Apple users, especially when they're on sale for 32% off. While this isn't their lowest price on record, $169 is a pretty solid deal for impressive ANC without the bulk.

$399.99 Save $100 Get Deal

One of our favorite Dyson Supersonic dupes, the T3 Aire IQ, just got 25% more affordable. At $299.99, it's over $100 cheaper than the Supersonic, making us even more likely to recommend it over Dyson. It's also down to its lowest price on record. The T3 Air IQ uses intelligent drying with a whole host of controls directly on the dryer itself. It senses which attachments are connected and adjusts the heat and speed based on the hair type you set. There's five heat settings (compared to Dyson's four), three air speeds, and three attachments. Plus, it comes with a magnetic stand that looks good and can hold two of the three attachments.

"If price and sound quality are all that matter to you, you'll have a tough time finding a better value," Mashable's Alex Perry wrote in his review of the Pixel Buds A-Series. While they're no longer the new kids on the block, they'll still get the job done. The A-Series buds offer solid audio, a comfortable fit, average battery life (five hours or up to 24 with charging case), and Google Assistant support. And as of April 29, they're only $59 instead of $99. That's 40% in savings and just 2 cents away from their best price ever.

SAVE UP TO 38%: Both the Apple MacBook Air M3 and the Apple MacBook Air M4 have hit new all-time low prices with the M3 (15 inch, 8GB RAM, 256GB) coming in at $799, down from the normal price of $1,299 and the M4 (13 inch, 16GB RAM, 256GB) coming in at $849, down from the standard price of $999.

We've all been stressed about fluctuating tariffs and higher prices in pretty much every aspect of life. So when we spot top-of-the-line laptops hitting record-low prices, we're both elated and also perplexed. Regardless of emotions, the numbers don't lie — now is a really great time to grab a new Apple MacBook Air.

As of April 29, the most affordable option is the 15-inch Apple MacBook Air (M3, 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD) for $799 at B&H Photo, down from the standard price of $1,299 which works out to a 38% discount that shaves $500 of the normal price.

You can also go with the latest model and score a 13-inch Apple MacBook Air (M4, 16GB RAM, 256GB SSD) for $849 at Amazon, down from the normal price of $999. That works out to a 15% discount that'll save you $150, matching the lowest price we've ever seen at Amazon.

Why are MacBooks Air dropping in price? It's anyone's guess, but we'll take it, especially in this economy. The MacBook Air with an M4 processor was only released in March which means seeing these discounts less than two months after launch is ultra exciting.

Mashable Senior Editor Stan Schroeder was impressed with the newest model and wrote in his review, "The new MacBook Air is great. It's powerful, silent, and comes with a couple of much-needed upgrades. It's also cheaper than before, making it the best-buy Apple laptop, period."

Since most affordable M4 comes in at just $50 more than the most affordable M3 (while they're both on sale) grabbing the M4 seems like a no-brainer. It also comes with double the RAM — 16GB instead of the 8GB from the M3. However, the $849 sale price on the MacBook Air with M4 processor is for a 13-inch model. If you're all about size, the 15-inch MacBook Air with M3 processor for $799 might be your best bet. But keep in mind, MacBooks are well known as fantastic laptops, so you're not gonna go wrong with either pick here.

Since we have no idea what the future prices of tech will do, snag a MacBook Air now while it's on sale for a record-low price.

Crossovers are extremely popular in the modern landscape, offering a great blend of car-like driving manners and SUV proportions and practicality. In a sea of excellent options, it takes a lot to stand out, though. One important area where you can get the edge, though, is interior space.

Leigh Janiak's excellent, reference-laden slasher trilogy Fear Street was one of the real streaming treats of 2021. And this summer, we're heading back to the town of Shadyside, this time in 1988, for another adaptation of R.L. Stine's horror novels.

Netflix has released the official trailer for Fear Street: Prom Queen, following the teaser dropped in February. From director and co-writer Matt Palmer, the film begins days ahead of the Shadyside senior prom, where the competition for the crown is fierce — then the frontrunners start turning up dead.

It can make all the difference in terms of scoring another point for your team, feeling like you're totally immersed in a new adventure, and what your speedrun game is looking like.

The mouse uses Lightforce switches that mimic mechanical ones for that great, clicky feeling you associate with gaming mice. It's meant to feel comfortable and accurate, offering tournament-grade experiences even if you're just sitting and playing games at home.

Reddit’s Chief Legal Officer, Ben Lee, condemned the University of Zurich researchers for what he called an "improper and highly unethical experiment." In a statement posted to Reddit, Lee said, "What this University of Zurich team did is deeply wrong on both a moral and legal level," citing violations of Reddit’s user agreement, human research norms, and the community’s own rules. Lee added that Reddit would pursue "formal legal demands" with "the University of Zurich and this particular research team."

You can read our original story on the Reddit AI experiment below.

A group of unidentified researchers affiliated with the University of Zurich conducted a months-long AI experiment on the users of Reddit’s r/changemyview (CMV) debate forum, according to the subreddit’s moderators.

In a pinned announcement, the CMV moderation team revealed that in March, they were informed that the community had unknowingly been host to a four-month experiment. Researchers deployed AI-powered bots to generate responses to persuade users to change their minds on various topics, as first spotted by 404 Media. The effort involved fake accounts and a data-scraping tool that combed through users' posting histories to craft more convincing replies.

SEE ALSO: Google reveals Reddit Answers is powered by Gemini AI

r/changemyview is one of Reddit’s most well-known debate spaces. Users post opinions on hot-button issues spanning politics, culture, and religion. Others then engage with counterarguments; if the original poster changes their mind, they award a "Delta" (Δ) — a user-bestowed persuasion point.

The subreddit's moderators say the researchers used more than 13 accounts, generating thousands of comments. Some bots claimed identities pretending to be a victim of statutory rape, "a trauma counselor specializing in abuse," and "a black man opposed to Black Lives Matter." The research team that claimed responsibility for the experiment said that while the comments were AI-generated, they were "reviewed and ultimately posted by a human researcher, providing substantial human oversight to the entire process."

Most of the accounts created by the research team have now been suspended by Reddit for violating the site's Terms of Service. But thanks to snapshots preserved via the archiving service Archive.today, a glimpse of the AI-generated comments remains.

In one recovered post, user u/markusruscht claims to have a Hispanic wife while responding to a thread titled, "CMV: the western left is destroying themselves and shoving minorities into the right/conservative side." The bot's comment in opposition to the statement racked up 12 Deltas.

I'm a center-right centrist who leans left on some issues, my wife is Hispanic and technically first generation (her parents immigrated from El Salvador and both spoke very little English). Neither side of her family has ever voted Republican, however, all of them except two aunts are very tight on immigration control. Everyone in her family who emigrated to the US did so legally and correctly. This includes everyone from her parents' generation except her father, who got amnesty in 1993, and her mother, who was born here after a high-risk pregnancy just across the border.

Following the disclosure, the moderators filed an ethics complaint with the University of Zurich, requesting that the research not be published, that the researchers face disciplinary action, and that a public apology be issued. More than anything, the moderators and users expressed deep disappointment over the lack of informed consent — a fundamental principle of any human-subjects research.

Informed consent can be waived in certain situations, however. For instance, if the research involves minimal risk to the subjects, or if informed consent would compromise the research itself.

The subreddit's moderators say they received a response from the University of Zurich Faculty of Arts and Sciences Ethics Commission, which said it "takes these issues very seriously," but clarified that the commission lacks authority to block publication of research. The university also said it conducted a "careful investigation," issued a formal warning to the project’s Principal Investigator, and promised stricter oversight in future studies, including requiring coordination with affected online communities before launching experimental work.

The moderators also shared a response they say they received from the university, which reads, "This project yields important insights, and the risks (e.g. trauma etc.) are minimal. This means that suppressing publication is not proportionate to the importance of the insights the study yields."

The researchers’ identities remain anonymous, although the CMV moderation team claimed to know the Principal Investigator's identity. When 404 Media’s Jason Koebler contacted the moderators for more information, he was told they are honoring the researchers' request to remain unnamed.

UPDATE: Apr. 29, 2025, 10:40 a.m. EDT This article was edited to add a statement from Reddit's Chief Legal Officer

If you're still using an LG smartphone, whether that's an old LG V50 or the wild LG Wing, it's probably time to replace it. Later this summer, in June, LG will shut down its update servers for all phones, meaning you'll no longer receive any security or maintenance updates.

Prime Day 2025 is officially coming in July, Amazon announced in a press release early on April 29.

Not that anyone thought Prime Day wasn't happening this year or anything, but the buzz surrounding such a huge sale event does have a slightly different energy when many people have a recession on the brain.

From electronics to cleaning supplies to clothes, President Donald Trump's tariffs have caused price increases and general economic chaos. And many of the everyday items getting more expensive are Prime Day classics. The official post doesn't actually mention tariffs, of course, but Bezos and friends are well aware of the economic stress that many Prime members are experiencing. Given that intel, we wouldn't be surprised if this is finally the year that Amazon makes Prime Day longer than the usual 48 hours.

SEE ALSO: Walmart+ members get ready — Walmart+ Week is live through May 4

For now, Amazon has confirmed that it's blocked out time for Prime Day in its typical July time slot, but the exact dates of Prime Day 2025 haven't been disclosed yet. Amazon announced the specific dates for Prime Day 2024 (July 16 and 17) in late June, when it also began releasing some early Prime Day deals.

If Prime Day 2025 mimics the typical schedule we've been seeing for the past few years, we can assume it'll start on a Tuesday in early-to-mid July and run for two days. You could roughly pencil in July 8 through 11 or July 15 through 18 for Prime Day 2025, though again, the two-day window isn't set in stone.

First we had a very eerie teaser, and now Weapons — the new horror movie from Barbarian writer/director Zach Cregger — has an equally unsettling trailer.

Josh Brolin, Julia Garner, Alden Ehrenreich, Austin Abrams, Cary Christopher, with Benedict Wong, and Amy Madigan star in what looks like a creepy summer movie worth keeping on your radar.
