Windows 11 has a cool, useful feature that you may not know about. The Microsoft software has a new tool that will allow users to link their PC clipboard to their Android phone. In other words, you can have something copied on your computer and immediately access it on your phone. This could prove super useful for sending links, images, big blocks of text, or whatever else you might discover on your PC. The feature works from the Link to Windows app, Tech Radar noted, which means you'll have to have that installed to turn on the feature in Windows 11 settings. Windows Latest spotted the feature in a preview build, writing "the sync was instantaneous" and that it worked across different keyboard apps. Users just need to be logged in to the same Microsoft account on their PC and phone, while also allowing access to the keyboard via settings in their cellphone. Then presto, the clipboard should be right there on your phone. The feature is only in test builds right now, but it would make sense if it eventually made its way to all users. Windows 11, meanwhile, has been in the news recently for less than ideal reasons. Microsoft had to issue a statement denying that a recent security update was causing SSD failures. The denial came after internet rumors that the update was to blame.

SAVE $1,000: Through Sept. 4, the Roborock Saros Z70 robot vacuum with an arm is $1,000 off for Roborock's anniversary sale, bringing the cost down to $1,599. Opens in a new window Credit: Roborock Roborock Saros Z70 $1,599 at Roborock $2,599 Save $1,000 Get Deal The Roborock Saros Z70 has been the last robot vacuum I've been telling people to buy since it came out in May. The allure of the arm alone (and its quirks, as I found out in testing) just couldn't justify the $2,599 price tag. But Roborock is having an anniversary sale through Sept. 4, and during it, I might judge you a little less hard for taking the plunge on the robot vacuum with an arm — because it's a whole $1,000 off. Yes, the Saros Z70 is on sale for $1,599, which is a much more digestible amount that we're used to seeing from Roborock. $1,599 is the normal asking price for the rest of the Saros trilogy, the Saros 10 and Saros 10R, that I've been vouching for hard after testing and comparing them both. They're both $300 cheaper for the sale, now both $1,299 each. Oddly enough, the Saros Z70 is the only of the three deals that's strictly available at Roborock's website, not at Amazon. SEE ALSO: Dreame's summer vacuum launch is the biggest vacuum drop of 2025 so far To give credit where it's due, the Roborock Saros Z70 is actually a good robot vacuum and mop combo. (It was just overpriced, especially with erratic arm functionality.) With 22,000 Pa of suction power and hinged spinning mopping pads that scrub right up against edges and corners, it's a real cleaning powerhouse that competes with (or beats) most other premium robot vacuums on the market. Everything gets dumped into the sleek automatic self-empty dock. The Saros Z70's mops can flex out past the circular edge of the vacuum. Credit: Leah Stodart / Mashable The Saros Z70 washes and dries its own mopping pads automatically. Credit: Leah Stodart / Mashable Its smart mapping room to room is highly accurate, just as I've grown to expect from Roborock. It's the accuracy of the obstacle-dodging capabilities within those rooms that isn't so spot on. Yes, the arm can successfully pick select items up from time to time, but its consistency is a little iffy, and so is the vacuum's small obstacle avoidance tech. (Don't worry, it was spot on with fake pet waste.) Still, the livestream camera is an awesome tool for pet parents to have, even if it's not super helpful when trying to pick up a sock or pet toy claw machine style. I documented my experience at home on video, so you can see for yourself before buying.

From wedding week karaoke machines to speakers that double as chargers, JBL makes speakers for nearly every situation. Even so, with its latest portable Bluetooth speaker, the brand is expanding its range of options.As of Sept. 2, the JBL Grip is officially up for preorder for $99.95, and will become widely available on Sept. 28. At the size of a tall can and a price sitting firmly in the low to middle portion of JBL's portable speaker lineup, the Grip offers a good degree of flexibility in portability and pricing. Opens in a new window Credit: JBL JBL Grip $99.95 at JBL Pre-order Here So what should you expect out of the new speaker? Here's what you need to know. The new JBL Grip comes in an array of colors. Credit: JBL JBL Grip speaker specsAt Mashable, we've tested several speakers from the JBL lineup, from the $879.95 PartyBox 520 to the $49.95 Go 4. Across the board, JBL speakers produce well-rounded sound, are durable, have decent battery life, and offer options for amplifying your experience. With the JBL Grip, you get:JBL Pro Sound with AI Sound Boost that optimizes speaker drivers for clearest possible sound, even at higher volumes43 x 80 mm full range transducer12 hours of battery life, plus two hours with PlayTime BoostSix colorways: black, white, purple, red, blue, and camoJBL companion app compatibilityAmbient light on the back panel you can adjust with the JBL app IP68 water- and dust-proof ratingMulti-speaker connectivity with AuracastRope hook for taking on the go Its small size makes it ultra-portable. Credit: JBL The most immediate comparisons that spring to mind for the JBL Grip are the JBL Flip 7 speaker and the Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 4. The Wonderboom 4 is Mashable's current favorite Bluetooth speaker under $100, sitting at the same price point as the JBL Grip. Its rating is slightly less, at IP67 (meaning it can't withstand immersion in water as well as the Grip), and it comes without a companion app. It's shorter and wider, where the Grip is tall, has 14 hours of battery life, and often goes on sale for $79 or less. The Flip 7, on the other hand, is a step up from the Grip, and its price reflects that at $149.95. You'll get 16 total hours of playtime, a 45 by 60 mm woofer and 16mm tweeter, interchangeable carrying accessories, and lossless audio playback, as well as the same IP68 rating, JBL Pro Sound with AI Sound Boost, Auracast multi-speaker connections, and companion app as the Grip speaker.

SAVE $100: Snag the Samsung Galaxy Ring at Amazon for $299.99, down from the normal price of of $399.99. That's a 25% discount that matches the record-low. Opens in a new window Credit: Samsung Samsung Galaxy Ring $299.99 at Amazon $399.99 Save $100 Get Deal Smart trackers are some of the best health tech we have these days. Sure, they’re not medically approved devices, but they can give us insight into everyday health and fitness unlike anything we’ve had before. Many people go with a smartwatch, but if you don’t love the feeling of something on your wrist all the time (especially while sleeping) a smart ring can be a perfect alternative. Thankfully, the Samsung model is on a big discount today at Amazon.As of Sept. 2, the Samsung Galaxy Ring is on sale at Amazon for $299.99, marked down from the standard price of $399.99. That’s a 25% discount which saves you $100. It also matches the lowest price we’ve ever seen at Amazon.Coming in silver, gold, or black, the Samsung Galaxy Ring is a powerhouse of a fitness tracker. Mashable’s review scale runs from 1 to 5, and anything over a 4.5 earns a prestigious Mashable Choice Award. The Samsung Galaxy Ring earned a stunning 4.9 out of 5 in East Coast Tech Editor Kimberly Gedeon’s review. “The Samsung Galaxy Ring is so good, it has made me consider the unthinkable: dropping my beloved Apple Watch Series 9 for the Korea-based tech giant's new wearable,” she wrote in the review.One of the huge benefits of the Samsung Galaxy Ring, especially compared to smartwatches, is its massive battery life. Samsung says that can last for up to seven days. In Gedeon’s testing, that landed at closer to six days, which is still massively impressive. Most people need to recharge an Apple Watch every day which can be a pain to find the best time to charge if you’re trying to track fitness, steps, and sleep. The Samsung Galaxy Watch frees up some of that inconvenience by lasting much longer. Of course, you forgo the Apple Watch’s display by opting for the Galaxy Ring, but some people prefer to not get text messages on their wrist. SEE ALSO: The CMF Watch 3 Pro is down to its best-ever price for Labor Day, but you'll need to act fast The Galaxy Ring does everything you’d expect from a smart tracker like monitoring heart rate, tracking steps, exercise, and sleep. The stress monitoring is also highly accurate and useful. “The stress detector on the Galaxy Ring is the best feature on this wearable. Looking back at the Samsung Health chart that indicated when my stress was highest, it was always during work hours or moments when I couldn't quite figure something out,” noted Gedeon. If you’re worried about ring sizing, go ahead and order the Samsung Galaxy Ring Sizing Kit for $10. This order gives you a $10 Amazon credit to use toward the purchase of the Galaxy Ring, essentially making the sizing kit free. Samsung also designed the Galaxy Ring with durability in mind, making it resistant to everyday wear and water. You’re safe to wear it while swimming, showering, or washing dishes.While it’s on sale for $100 off, snag the Samsung Galaxy Ring for under $300 at Amazon. It’s great for those who aren’t so thrilled about wearing a watch but want the benefits of better health tracking.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk has a new Master Plan, and we're never been less sure on what's it really about. The first "Master Plan" – a broad stroke company strategy penned by Elon Musk back in 2006 – was simple enough: Build a quick, fancy electric sports car, use the proceeds (and the attention) to build a more affordable electric car, then follow up with an electric car that'll be affordable enough to sell en masse and kickstart an electric vehicle revolution. The follow-up to that plan was mostly about the advent of self-driving tech, which could transform your Tesla into an autonomous taxi that could earn you money; we're seeing the first steps towards that happening now with Tesla's Robotaxi service. The third Master Plan was a bit harder to process, as it was a much longer document that mostly steered away from cars and focused on renewable energy. Finally, the fourth Master Plan, revealed on Monday by Tesla's official account on X, once again shifts focus, this time onto robotics and AI. This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed. The key word, used several times in the text, is "sustainable abundance." "We are combining our manufacturing capabilities with our autonomous prowess to deliver new products and services that will accelerate global prosperity and human thriving driven by economic growth shared by all," says the article. Unfortunately, there's very little tangible explanation on how, exactly, Tesla aims to achieve this. Optimus, the company's humanoid robot, is mentioned as being able to accomplish monotonous and dangerous tasks. But in reality, Optimus isn't available to the public yet, and its supposedly high level of autonomy, based on what we've seen so far, is dubious at best. And that, aside from a quick repeat of previous claims about autonomous vehicles "dramatically improving the affordability, availability and safety of transportation," is pretty much it. The final part of the text explains just how hard it'll be to eliminate scarcity. SEE ALSO: New Tesla Model Y Performance: Lightning quick acceleration, great range, and more While the idea of eliminating scarcity to make a world where everyone lives in abundance sounds great, it's hard to glean from this text how Tesla plans to achieve that. The Robotaxis are here, but given how slow Tesla's progress on Full Self-Driving has been so far, it might take a while before they're widely available, let alone disrupting industries as Musk would have you believe. As for Optimus, we don't know how capable it will be, or how much it will cost. Tesla might have a plan to scale it to a level where every household has one or three (Musk said it will be 10 times bigger than the next biggest product ever made), but the latest Master Plan doesn't explain that bit. We guess we'll just have to wait and see.

Stephen King has long been a vocal critic of Donald Trump, but he's really ramped things up recently.At the end of last week, following Trump's controversial comments about dictators during a cabinet meeting, the horror author accused the president of "turning America into a fascist, authoritarian state." SEE ALSO: Stephen King weighs in on Gavin Newsom trolling Trump Now King has shared his thoughts on X once again, this time making a prediction for the 2026 election."Trump and his greedhead cronies may get a big surprise in spite of their efforts to rig the 2026 election," wrote King. "They could find themselves swamped by a blue wave. Americans are wising up to the fact that Trump is turning the American dream into a nightmare." This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed. Trump placed Washington D.C. under federal control and brought in the national guard in a supposed crackdown on crime which drew widespread criticism, as did his recent plans to extend this scheme to cities like New York and Chicago.

AMAZON PRICE CHECK: As of Sept. 2, the Pokémon TCG White Flare Binder Collection is $47.99 at both Amazon and TCGPlayer. A rare opportunity to buy Pokémon TCG at Amazon for a fair market price. Opens in a new window Credit: The Pokémon Company Pokémon TCG White Flare Binder Collection Shop Now I’ve been watching the White Flare Binder Collection since release, and it’s nice to finally see Amazon stop inflating the price. Right now, it’s sitting at $47.99, the same as TCGPlayer’s market value. No savings here, but at least you’re not paying over MSRP anymore.Normally, I’d tell you to skip Amazon because TCGPlayer almost always beats them on sealed product. But in this case, the two prices match exactly, so it comes down to where you’d rather shop. If you’ve got Prime shipping or an Amazon gift card lying around, it might be the easier pickup there. SEE ALSO: Where to buy Pokémon cards in 2025 — avoid overpaying or missing out on new sets The Binder Collection itself is a neat product. You get a sturdy nine-pocket binder featuring White Flare artwork plus four booster packs from the set. That’s fewer packs than a Booster Bundle, but the binder makes this a nice hybrid between practical storage and cracking open some packs.From a player’s perspective, I like having an extra binder around for sorting pulls and building trade pages for league nights.

Opens in a new window Credit: The Pokémon Company Pokémon TCG White Flare Booster Bundle $39 at TCGPlayer $45.90 Save $6.90 Shop Now White Flare is one of those sets that feels like it has something for everyone. On the player side, we’re seeing tournament chatter around cards like Jellicent ex, which locks opponents out of using both Item and Tool cards while still swinging for solid damage. On the collector side, the Illustration Rares cover every Unova Pokémon, and the art styles are gorgeous. I’ve been keeping an eye on this set since launch, and right now the White Flare Booster Bundle is only $39 on TCGPlayer. Amazon is charging $45.90 for the same thing, so you’re saving over 16% just by buying in the right place.Amazon’s discount isn’t bad on paper, but when you compare it directly, you’re still paying almost $7 more. That’s a pack and a half worth of value you’re missing out on. Personally, I’d rather put that extra cash toward a single card I’m chasing than hand it over to Amazon. SEE ALSO: Where to buy Pokémon cards in 2025 — avoid overpaying or missing out on new sets Each Booster Bundle comes with six packs, and that’s six shots at pulling some really exciting cards. I’d love to see Hilda show up in one of mine — she tutors both an Evolution Pokémon and an Energy card, which is exactly the kind of consistency boost I like for deck building. Genesect ex (Black Bolt) looks fun for Steel builds too, while Reshiram ex and Zekrom ex (Black Bolt) are bringing serious firepower (literally).If you’re more into collecting, White Flare is a treat. Victini ex is shaping up to be the big chase, and the Hydreigon ex Illustration Rare has already caught my eye with its moody dragon artwork. Jellicent ex and Hilda both got epic special illustrations too, so even the competitive cards are collectible. Every time I scroll through card scans from this set, I see something new I’d want in my binder.That’s why I think this is a deal worth jumping on now.
