Prime Day deals include $50 off one of our favorite Ninja air fryers

For many, summer means it's time to grill outdoors. But cooking inside does at least mean you’re likely to deal with fewer bugs. It also makes it easier to try out new kitchen equipment, such as a Ninja air fryer that’s on sale ahead of Prime Day. The <a class="rapid-with-clickid" href="https://shopping.yahoo.com/rdlw?merchantId=66ea567a-c987-4c2e-a2ff-02904efde6ea&itemId=amazon_B096X9LGJ1&siteId=us-engadget&pageId=1p-autolink&contentUuid=3032a101-3141-436a-b948-214919ecf681&featureId=text-link&merchantName=Amazon&linkText=Ninja+Foodi+Dual-Zone+10-quart+air+fryer&custData=eyJzb3VyY2VOYW1lIjoiV2ViLURlc2t0b3AtVmVyaXpvbiIsImxhbmRpbmdVcmwiOiJodHRwczovL3d3dy5hbWF6b24uY29tL2RwL0IwOTZYOUxHSjE_dGFnPWdkZ3QwYy0yMCIsImNvbnRlbnRVdWlkIjoiMzAzMmExMDEtMzE0MS00MzZhLWI5NDgtMjE0OTE5ZWNmNjgxIiwib3JpZ2luYWxVcmwiOiJodHRwczovL3d3dy5hbWF6b24uY29tL2RwL0IwOTZYOUxHSjEiLCJkeW5hbWljQ2VudHJhbFRyYWNraW5nSWQiOnRydWUsInNpdGVJZCI6InVzLWVuZ2FkZ2V0IiwicGFnZUlkIjoiMXAtYXV0b2xpbmsiLCJmZWF0dXJlSWQiOiJ0ZXh0LWxpbmsifQ&signature=AQAAAYwVLhTtxcFdssoboThEFajTzB6fsnU3vVQP3RZKrhk7&gcReferrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Fdp%2FB096X9LGJ1">Ninja Foodi Dual-Zone 10-quart air fryer</a> is $50 off and down to $180. This is not a record low price for this model. However, it’s still a good price for this time of year, some five months away from Black Friday. The DZ401 is one of our favorite air fryers. In fact, it's our pick for the <a href="http://engadget.com/home/kitchen-tech/best-air-fryers-133047180.html">best dual-zone air fryer</a>. It heats up quickly and runs quietly, but the real selling point here is the dual-basket setup. If you cook a lot or make meals for several people on a regular basis, the Ninja Foodi DZ401 could be a game changer. It's possible to use the two baskets to prepare entirely different foods at the same time with distinct cooking modes — you can't do that on a grill. You can also prepare food in both baskets in the same way with the Match Cook feature.  A very useful feature called Smart Finish can adjust cooking times automatically so that the food in both baskets (perhaps you have a protein in one and vegetables in the other) will be ready at the same time. That should help you avoid waiting for one basket to be down while the other gets cold. On the downside, this is a machine that will take up a considerable proportion of counter space, so it won't be ideal for small kitchens. If you can make room for it, though, the Ninja Foodi DZ401 could be a valuable addition to your setup.This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/deals/prime-day-deals-include-50-off-one-of-our-favorite-ninja-air-fryers-131214723.html?src=rss

The best iPad for 2025: How to pick the best Apple tablet for you

We’ve long considered Apple’s iPads to be <a href="https://www.engadget.com/mobile/tablets/best-tablets-150026056.html">the best tablets</a> on the market, but determining exactly which model you should buy isn’t always straightforward. Do you just want a big screen for streaming and web browsing? Do you want to use it like a pseudo-laptop? Do you care about <a href="https://www.engadget.com/ai/apple-intelligence-starts-rolling-out-with-ios-181-and-macos-151-151023619.html">Apple Intelligence</a> at all? If you’re not sure, allow us to help. We’ve tested every Apple tablet available today and broken down the best iPads for different needs below. Editor’s note (7/7/25): Apple <a href="https://www.engadget.com/mobile/tablets/ipados-26-makes-apples-tablets-more-like-macs-174904597.html">previewed iPadOS 26</a>, its next major iPad software update, during its <a href="https://www.engadget.com/big-tech/wwdc-2025-everything-apple-announced-including-ios-26-liquid-glass-design-and-more-171718030.html">WWDC keynote</a>. It looks to be a major overhaul, one that brings iPadOS closer to macOS than it’s ever been. New <a class="rapid-with-clickid" href="https://shopping.yahoo.com/rdlw?merchantId=4130e2f0-a14f-4c5e-bdab-cd52ac7d8e79&siteId=us-engadget&pageId=1p-autolink&contentUuid=ebb3a818-66b3-46bf-98e3-16639ad8698a&featureId=text-link&merchantName=Apple&linkText=features+include&custData=eyJzb3VyY2VOYW1lIjoiV2ViLURlc2t0b3AtVmVyaXpvbiIsImxhbmRpbmdVcmwiOiJodHRwczovL3d3dy5hcHBsZS5jb20vb3MvaXBhZG9zLyIsImNvbnRlbnRVdWlkIjoiZWJiM2E4MTgtNjZiMy00NmJmLTk4ZTMtMTY2MzlhZDg2OThhIiwib3JpZ2luYWxVcmwiOiJodHRwczovL3d3dy5hcHBsZS5jb20vb3MvaXBhZG9zLyJ9&signature=AQAAAW2HtIJfkd56gWTbSsH0WfTaAHVpxZcEvRQCekO3dwIa&gcReferrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.apple.com%2Fos%2Fipados%2F">features include</a> the ability to open more windows simultaneously and resize or tile them more freely, a Mac-style Menu bar, a dedicated <a href="https://www.engadget.com/mobile/smartphones/apple-is-bringing-preview-to-ipados-175643371.html">Preview app</a>, an upgraded Files app, an improved ability to export or download large files in the background and much more. It’ll also use the new “<a href="https://www.engadget.com/mobile/smartphones/apples-new-liquid-glass-design-is-its-biggest-visual-update-in-years-172158766.html">liquid glass</a>” design language Apple is rolling out across all of its platforms. Importantly, Apple says these features will be available across its tablet lineup, from the iPad Pro to the entry-level iPad.

A greater level of feature parity could make the base iPad a more enticing value in particular, though we’ll need to see how well all of this works when iPadOS 26 exits its developer beta period.

To better measure performance specifically, we use benchmarking tests like <a class="rapid-with-clickid" href="https://shopping.yahoo.com/rdlw?siteId=us-engadget&pageId=1p-autolink&contentUuid=ebb3a818-66b3-46bf-98e3-16639ad8698a&featureId=text-link&linkText=Geekbench+6&custData=eyJzb3VyY2VOYW1lIjoiV2ViLURlc2t0b3AtVmVyaXpvbiIsImxhbmRpbmdVcmwiOiJodHRwczovL2FwcHMuYXBwbGUuY29tL3VzL2FwcC9nZWVrYmVuY2gtNi9pZDE1NjU3Mjg4OTUiLCJjb250ZW50VXVpZCI6ImViYjNhODE4LTY2YjMtNDZiZi05OGUzLTE2NjM5YWQ4Njk4YSIsIm9yaWdpbmFsVXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9hcHBzLmFwcGxlLmNvbS91cy9hcHAvZ2Vla2JlbmNoLTYvaWQxNTY1NzI4ODk1In0&signature=AQAAAXLw1CqK2-DJCUdZ10z8y3y5zoaT1DIRM0hVETVdaXCR&gcReferrer=https%3A%2F%2Fapps.apple.com%2Fus%2Fapp%2Fgeekbench-6%2Fid1565728895">Geekbench 6</a>, <a class="rapid-with-clickid" href="https://shopping.yahoo.com/rdlw?siteId=us-engadget&pageId=1p-autolink&contentUuid=ebb3a818-66b3-46bf-98e3-16639ad8698a&featureId=text-link&linkText=3DMark&custData=eyJzb3VyY2VOYW1lIjoiV2ViLURlc2t0b3AtVmVyaXpvbiIsImxhbmRpbmdVcmwiOiJodHRwczovL2FwcHMuYXBwbGUuY29tL3VzL2FwcC8zZG1hcmsvaWQxNTEyMzcyMjkzIiwiY29udGVudFV1aWQiOiJlYmIzYTgxOC02NmIzLTQ2YmYtOThlMy0xNjYzOWFkODY5OGEiLCJvcmlnaW5hbFVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vYXBwcy5hcHBsZS5jb20vdXMvYXBwLzNkbWFyay9pZDE1MTIzNzIyOTMifQ&signature=AQAAAUlFo5xbxpX14gaLPTNphOWPyRGmEcb45197gjO2djrT&gcReferrer=https%3A%2F%2Fapps.apple.com%2Fus%2Fapp%2F3dmark%2Fid1512372293">3DMark</a> and <a class="rapid-with-clickid" href="https://shopping.yahoo.com/rdlw?siteId=us-engadget&pageId=1p-autolink&contentUuid=ebb3a818-66b3-46bf-98e3-16639ad8698a&featureId=text-link&linkText=GFXBench+Metal&custData=eyJzb3VyY2VOYW1lIjoiV2ViLURlc2t0b3AtVmVyaXpvbiIsImxhbmRpbmdVcmwiOiJodHRwczovL2FwcHMuYXBwbGUuY29tL3VzL2FwcC9nZnhiZW5jaC1tZXRhbC9pZDk4OTA4MDkwMiIsImNvbnRlbnRVdWlkIjoiZWJiM2E4MTgtNjZiMy00NmJmLTk4ZTMtMTY2MzlhZDg2OThhIiwib3JpZ2luYWxVcmwiOiJodHRwczovL2FwcHMuYXBwbGUuY29tL3VzL2FwcC9nZnhiZW5jaC1tZXRhbC9pZDk4OTA4MDkwMiJ9&signature=AQAAAesW5iaopzqBQpoqZbGWmdYhSuM8pSGLxJSrwaFqxW3W&gcReferrer=https%3A%2F%2Fapps.apple.com%2Fus%2Fapp%2Fgfxbench-metal%2Fid989080902">GFXBench Metal</a>, plus we measure how long it takes for each tablet to boot up and open various apps. We also check how well each tablet holds up long-term, whether it’s with a review unit provided by Apple or an iPad model that’s owned by a member of the Engadget staff. To help compare the color performance and brightness of the displays, we play the same videos on different iPads, side-by-side, at equal brightness levels. We use each tablet in direct sunlight outdoors to see how well they hold up to glare, and we play a handful of the same musical tracks to evaluate speaker performance. For battery life, we keep track of how long each tablet generally lasts before it needs a recharge, but we also play a 1080p movie on a loop at roughly 70 percent brightness with power-sapping background processes off. We also test each device with an Apple Pencil and note how responsive the stylus feels. Finally, we carefully pore over spec sheets and software updates to keep track of which features are available on certain iPads but not others. <h2 id="jump-link-ipad-faqs">iPad FAQs</h2> <figure> <img alt="A pink 11-inch Apple iPad rests on top of a silver 13-inch iPad Air.

How long your iPad’s hardware will last depends on which model you buy and how well you maintain it. (If you’re particularly clumsy, consider an <a href="https://www.engadget.com/best-ipad-cases-to-protect-your-tablet-130033533.html">iPad case</a>.) A more powerful iPad Pro will feel fast for a longer time than an entry-level iPad, but each model should remain at least serviceable until Apple stops updating it, at minimum. <h3 id="jump-link-whats-the-difference-between-the-ipad-and-the-ipad-air">What’s the difference between the iPad and the iPad Air?</h3> Compared to the 11th-gen iPad, the iPad Air runs on a stronger M3 chip (instead of the A16 Bionic) and has 2GB more RAM (8GB total). Both come with 128GB of storage by default. The Air is also available in two sizes, 11 and 13 inches, whereas the 11th-gen iPad doesn't offer the larger screen option. The M-series SoC gives the Air better long-term performance, plus access to certain iPadOS features such as <a href="https://www.engadget.com/tag/apple-intelligence/">Apple Intelligence</a> and <a href="https://www.engadget.com/ipad-os-16-public-beta-preview-193037237.html">Stage Manager</a>. Its display supports a wider <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DCI-P3">P3</a> color gamut, has an antireflective coating and is fully laminated. The latter means there’s no “air gap” between the display and the glass covering it, so it feels more like you’re directly touching what’s on screen instead of interacting with an image below the glass. The Air also works with the newer Pencil Pro stylus and more comfortable Magic Keyboards, and its USB-C port supports faster data transfer speeds. It technically supports <a href="https://www.engadget.com/best-mesh-wifi-system-130028701.html">faster Wi-Fi 6E</a>, too, while the lower-cost iPad uses Wi-Fi 6.   Starting at $349, the 11th-gen iPad is $250 less expensive than the iPad Air. It has a similarly elegant design with flat edges, thin bezels, USB-C port, and a Touch ID reader. Battery life is rated at the same 10 hours, and both devices have their front-facing camera on their long edge, which is a more natural position for video calls. The cheaper iPad works with the first-gen and <a href="https://www.engadget.com/the-new-79-apple-pencil-has-a-usb-c-charging-port-141732710.html">USB-C</a> Apple Pencils – which are <a href="https://www.engadget.com/apple-ipad-10th-generation-review-160014897.html">more convoluted</a> to charge – and a unique keyboard accessory called the <a class="rapid-with-clickid" href="https://shopping.yahoo.com/rdlw?merchantId=4130e2f0-a14f-4c5e-bdab-cd52ac7d8e79&siteId=us-engadget&pageId=1p-autolink&contentUuid=ebb3a818-66b3-46bf-98e3-16639ad8698a&featureId=text-link&merchantName=Apple&linkText=Magic+Keyboard+Folio&custData=eyJzb3VyY2VOYW1lIjoiV2ViLURlc2t0b3AtVmVyaXpvbiIsImxhbmRpbmdVcmwiOiJodHRwczovL3d3dy5hcHBsZS5jb20vc2hvcC9zZWxlY3QtaXBhZC1rZXlib2FyZHMiLCJjb250ZW50VXVpZCI6ImViYjNhODE4LTY2YjMtNDZiZi05OGUzLTE2NjM5YWQ4Njk4YSIsIm9yaWdpbmFsVXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuYXBwbGUuY29tL3Nob3Avc2VsZWN0LWlwYWQta2V5Ym9hcmRzIn0&signature=AQAAAaXdYRY-ix39wbG7s9mrj2Kn0AUJuI_i_EC3onSQrOH2&gcReferrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.apple.com%2Fshop%2Fselect-ipad-keyboards">Magic Keyboard Folio</a>. <h3 id="jump-link-how-do-i-take-a-screenshot-on-an-ipad">How do I take a screenshot on an iPad?</h3> As we note in our <a href="https://www.engadget.com/how-to-take-a-screenshot-on-any-device-163053556.html">screenshot how-to guide</a>, you can take a screenshot on your iPad by pressing the top button and either volume button at the same time.

All of our picks are still available at normal prices today, but we’ll update this guide if that changes. March 2025: We've reviewed the iPad (A16) and named it our new budget pick, removing the discontinued 10th-gen iPad in the process.  March 2025: The recently-launched iPad Air M3 has replaced its predecessor as our top overall recommendation. We’ve also made a note regarding the new iPad (A16), which we plan to test in the near future and expect to become our new budget pick. We’ve made a handful of edits elsewhere in the guide to reflect Apple’s latest hardware. January 2025: We’ve lightly edited this guide for clarity. Our recommendations remain the same.

The best streaming deals: Get three months of Audible for only $3, plus save on Paramount+, Disney+ and more

Streaming services<a href="https://www.engadget.com/entertainment/streaming/disney-is-increasing-prices-again-for-standalone-streaming-plans-183518837.html"> keep</a><a href="https://www.engadget.com/entertainment/streaming/discovery-is-raising-prices-for-all-customers-160646636.html"> raising</a><a href="https://www.engadget.com/entertainment/streaming/netflix-raises-subscription-praises-again-with-its-standard-plan-now-costing-18-per-month-234344714.html"> prices</a>. At this point, if you subscribe to all the major services out there, you're basically paying the same price as cable — those antiquated local monopolies that streaming was supposed to save us from. But streaming still has one big advantage over the old ways: no contracts. That means you can grab a good streaming deal and then cancel without penalty. Our advice is to sign up for a service when you see a good streaming deal (or the latest season of, say,<a href="https://www.engadget.com/entertainment/tv-movies/doctor-who-the-well-review-signing-makes-you-feel-heard-200528202.html"> Doctor Who</a>,<a href="https://www.engadget.com/entertainment/tv-movies/severance-season-two-review-even-before-the-finale-innie-rights-and-humanity-made-for-a-stronger-show-100003889.html"> Severance</a>,<a href="https://www.engadget.com/entertainment/tv-movies/andor-season-2-review-a-star-wars-miracle-an-ode-to-rebellion-190057159.html"> Andor</a> and/or<a href="https://www.engadget.com/entertainment/tv-movies/the-last-of-us-season-two-premiere-future-days-highlights-the-fracture-between-ellie-and-joel-020029565.html"> The Last of Us</a>). Then, when the deal ends or you've binged whatever it is you want to watch, cancel as needed. But streaming deals don't come around all that often and, when they do, it's easy to miss them thanks to...everything. So we're keeping eyes out for the best streaming deals out there and we update this guide often — so check it out the next time you have a hankering to watch<a href="https://www.engadget.com/entertainment/tv-movies/black-mirror-is-now-a-delightful-escape-from-reality-070019017.html"> something new</a>. <h2 id="jump-link-best-streaming-deals">Best streaming deals</h2> True streaming deals can be hard to come by. Most often, they’ll pop up during the Black Friday shopping period. On occasion, we’ll see them sparingly throughout the year and they usually take the form of a discounted monthly or annual rate for a limited period of time. Also, true streaming deals are typically on the ad-supported versions of a service, but once in a while you’ll find a unicorn of a deal on a tier that has ad-free viewing. If you’re able to wait for a deal before subscribing to a streaming service, we recommend doing so. You’ll save money upfront and in the long run, and you also have the option to cancel your subscription before the price goes back up to the normal rate. Maybe you find you like the service so much that you’re fine paying full price for it — that’s the ideal situation. But if you’re not compelled to keep that app on rotation in your smart TV, most streaming services make it easy for you to <a href="https://www.engadget.com/apps/how-to-find-and-cancel-your-unused-subscriptions-130036314.html">cancel</a> at any time.

These bundles offer you access to more content with one subscription price, but those prices are typically higher than paying for a single service by itself (obviously). It may be tempting to just get the bundle, but if only one of those services in the bundle speaks to you, you’ll spend less overall by just paying for the single service. Speaking of a deep love for a single streaming service: if all of your favorite shows are on Peacock or the latest releases on Max consistently bring you joy, consider paying for one year upfront. Subscribing with an annual plan usually saves you money in the long term over paying on a monthly basis. Unfortunately, not all streaming services (looking at you, Netflix) have an annual subscription option. Here are some of the best streaming bundles you can get right now. <a class="rapid-with-clickid" href="https://shopping.yahoo.com/rdlw?merchantId=9c431828-c2cf-402b-a23c-df7fba43d348&siteId=us-engadget&pageId=1p-autolink&contentUuid=026fe1b5-ea22-49f6-8016-fd8686928f5c&featureId=text-link&merchantName=Disney+Store&linkText=Disney%2B%2C+Hulu%2C+Max+bundle+with+ads+for+%2417%2Fmonth&custData=eyJzb3VyY2VOYW1lIjoiV2ViLURlc2t0b3AtVmVyaXpvbiIsImxhbmRpbmdVcmwiOiJodHRwczovL3d3dy5kaXNuZXlwbHVzLmNvbS93ZWxjb21lL2Rpc25leS1odWx1LW1heC1idW5kbGUiLCJjb250ZW50VXVpZCI6IjAyNmZlMWI1LWVhMjItNDlmNi04MDE2LWZkODY4NjkyOGY1YyIsIm9yaWdpbmFsVXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZGlzbmV5cGx1cy5jb20vd2VsY29tZS9kaXNuZXktaHVsdS1tYXgtYnVuZGxlIn0&signature=AQAAAduD_oqRyynLYkzWzDFLK1tpl2rJVpZNu-qVQ1XrfSaQ&gcReferrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.disneyplus.com%2Fwelcome%2Fdisney-hulu-max-bundle">Disney+, Hulu, Max bundle with ads for $17/month</a>: Ad-supported Max is included here, along with full, ad-supported access to Disney+ and Hulu.

Playdate Season 2 review: Taria & Como and Black Hole Havoc

We've officially made it to the end of Playdate Season Two, and what a season it's been. Despite having half the number of titles as Season One, this latest round of weekly game releases has made a much stronger impression (on me, at least). If nothing else, it's just been cool to experience the new games in real time with other Playdate owners all at once, which the staggered rollout of the console didn't really allow for with the first season. In an email ahead of the final release, the team at Panic noted that Season Two has sold 12,000 units. It ends on a high note with <a href="https://play.date/games/taria-and-como/">Taria & Como</a> and <a href="https://play.date/games/black-hole-havoc/">Black Hole Havoc</a>, the former an emotional physics-based platformer and the latter an action-puzzle game about blasting black holes with black holes. While the weekly game drops may be over, we still have several weeks left of new <a class="no-affiliate-link" href="https://www.engadget.com/gaming/playdate-season-2s-blippo-tv-simulator-is-coming-to-nintendo-switch-and-pc-in-color-this-fall-230149046.html">Blippo+</a> content to help fill the void (not to mention the reruns, once it all wraps up). <h2 id="jump-link-taria--como">Taria & Como</h2> <figure><img alt="A still from the Playdate game Taria & Como showing a girl swinging from a rope between platforms in a crumbling building" src="https://s.yimg.com/os/creatr-uploaded-images/2025-07/f7539bf0-5aa9-11f0-afe7-3a6c72da04e6" style="height: 1284px; width: 2150px;" /><figcaption></figcaption><div class="photo-credit">Popseed Studio Inc/JuVee Productions</div></figure> Taria & Como would surely resonate no matter when it were released, but at a time in the US when <a class="no-affiliate-link" href="https://www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnbc-opinion/trump-immigration-family-separation-deportation-rcna215386">families are being forcibly separated</a> and <a class="no-affiliate-link" href="https://www.reuters.com/legal/litigation/healthcare-groups-blast-passing-trumps-tax-bill-warn-it-will-harm-millions-2025-07-03/">access to adequate healthcare for millions of people is under threat</a> — an issue that comes on top of the <a class="no-affiliate-link" href="https://www.propublica.org/article/evicore-health-insurance-denials-cigna-unitedhealthcare-aetna-prior-authorizations">many existing flaws of the system</a> — it hits particularly hard. The pace of this puzzle platformer is relatively chill, but the journey it takes you on is really moving. You play as Taria, a girl whose parents have been kidnapped by the medtech company and apparent authoritarian overlord, Toxtum Inc. Taria uses a couple of mobility aids to get around, including a prosthetic leg that allows her to jump and a flying health robot, Kit, that has a tether so she can swing. But after a disaster one day, Taria wakes up in a Toxtum facility to find that her younger sister Como is gone, her prosthetic leg has been taken and replaced with one that cannot jump (the Toxtum-approved design), and her healthbot has been swapped with one that's programmed to do everything in its power to restrict her freedom. The subsequent adventure is Taria's quest to find her sister, no matter what it takes. There is a lot to love about this game, but there's one silly little thing at the beginning that needs a shoutout: an unexpected folder in Kit's files labeled "Ferrets." Inside that folder? Two pictures of ferrets wearing bonnets. As a longtime ferret owner, all I have to say is hell yeah. Anyway, the game. Taria & Como is a wonderful experience from start to finish. Each chapter is preceded by a beautifully illustrated crank-to-scroll comic that moves the story forward, and the game's unique mechanics overall made this a really compelling play for me. Since Taria can't jump post-disaster, most of the game is spent swinging (and arguing with the new, not-cool healthbot). Moving around this way requires some planning, as the platforms Taria can stand on are often separated by walls and other obstacles, and some surfaces aren't safe for landing. You use the crank to aim the bot at a grabbing point, and you can crank forward/backward to reel Taria in and out. Swinging left and right will give you momentum to launch yourself farther so you can cross bigger gaps, and you can kick off of walls. I had so much fun with this, and loved how the design of it all slowed me down and made me think a little harder. As you progress, you'll collect pieces from Como's diary as well as Tuxtum files and codes to hijack the healthbot in your favor. The means by which you access these files is one of my favorite parts of the game. There are kiosks scattered throughout the map and they all contain a single minigame, which features a turtle wearing a top hat. Crank to make the turtle dance — and crank really fast, so he can't keep up, and the whole thing will glitch out and bring you to the system files. I was perhaps too excited the first time I encountered that, and enjoyed it every time after that too. Over the course of her adventure, Taria runs into other people who have also been failed by the system: someone who can no longer take the medication they need because it isn't "company approved," someone whose has been waiting in vain to be reunited with their wheelchair, etc. All the while, the healthbot talks down to Taria with the most painfully infantilizing rhetoric. The commentary here is pretty blatant, and I can't say I didn't appreciate it as someone who has been burned by the healthcare system many times over my lifetime of trying to manage chronic illnesses. There were a few hiccups in my playthrough. The game seemed to lag a lot with every chapter change, briefly making me worry each time that it was going to crash. And my Playdate didn't always respond properly to certain actions, like when you want to just look around to survey Taria's environment. You need to dock the crank to do that, which in itself felt a little disruptive, and I often found myself just launching Taria into the unknown to find out what was down there the hard way instead. On several occasions when I did dock the crank, my Playdate didn't register that I'd done so, especially toward the end of the game, so I had to repeatedly dock and undock it until it eventually worked. These things ultimately didn't detract much from my enjoyment of the game, though. Taria & Como is definitely one of my favorites from this season. It's a beautiful story, and it couldn't have come at a better time. <h2 id="jump-link-black-hole-havoc">Black Hole Havoc</h2> <figure><img alt="A still from the game Black Hole Havoc showing a scene with space tourists in spacesuits surrounded by small black holes, while a cannon at the bottom fires more black holes at them" src="https://s.yimg.com/os/creatr-uploaded-images/2025-07/1d1793f0-5aaa-11f0-beff-c24ae9a7dcd2" style="height: 1426px; width: 2384px;" /><figcaption></figcaption><div class="photo-credit">Cosmic Bros</div></figure> Years of playing the Neopets game <a class="no-affiliate-link" href="https://www.neopets.com/games/game.phtml?game_id=358">Faerie Bubbles</a> has prepared me for this moment. The story behind Black Hole Havoc is pretty easy to glean from the title — black holes are popping up everywhere and threatening civilization, and you have to stop them. Thankfully, you and your pal are equipped with just the right equipment to generate black holes of your own, which you can fire from a cannon at the evil black holes to cancel them out. But they have to be the right size or they won't effectively vanquish their targets. You aim using the D-pad and pump with the crank (or A/B) to adjust the size of your own black holes before shooting them out. Hit a black hole with another of the wrong size and you'll take damage. Initially, it all seems fairly easy. You'll have aim assist for the first few levels, which provides a clear visual indicator of the path and size of your black holes. But after that, you're on your own to line everything up right (you can turn aim assist back on in the settings, if need be). The further you get, the more obstacles are thrown your way. The black holes start growing in numbers; space tourists show up and get in the way of everything; the ceiling starts collapsing, pushing the black holes down onto you; blocks of ice will send black holes bouncing back your way if you hit them; weird giant bugs. It all goes from chill to extremely unchill pretty fast. The Story Mode is great, with 80 levels and fun cutscenes (which are skippable if you're impatient, but they really are worth watching) to introduce the new areas you'll have to clear. That sounds like a lot of levels, but I was absolutely flying through them and was 40 levels deep before I knew what was happening. There have been a few games this season that I've found to be super addicting, but Black Hole Havoc kind of takes the cake for me in that category. It just ticks all the right boxes. There's also an Arcade Mode if you want to just jump right in and chase after higher and higher scores. From the art and animations to the music, developer Cosmic Bros really knocked it out of the park with this one. Not a bad way to finish a fantastic season.This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/gaming/playdate-season-2-review-taria--como-and-black-hole-havoc-210042109.html?src=rss

The Stop Killing Games initiative has hit a major milestone, but the fight's just begun

A <a class="no-affiliate-link" href="https://www.stopkillinggames.com/">petition</a> to preserve video game access recently achieved an important milestone of one million signatures, but it has two more challenges to overcome before reaching the final level. The "Stop Killing Games" movement reached a million votes earlier this month, meaning the <a class="no-affiliate-link" href="https://eci.ec.europa.eu/045/public/#/screen/home">European Union</a> will have to consider adopting legislation addressing this issue. However, the petition first has to deal with the threat of potentially fake signatures and the resistance from major game studios and publishers. The Stop Killing Games initiative, created by Ross Scott, aims to pass new laws to ensure that video games still run even when developer support ends. The petition was a direct response to when Ubisoft delisted <a href="https://www.engadget.com/ubisoft-is-deleting-the-crew-from-players-libraries-reminding-us-we-own-nothing-165328083.html">The Crew</a> from online stores, shut down the game's servers in 2024, and revoked licenses from players who bought the game. Scott and other critics felt Ubisoft's actions set a dangerous precedent for gamers who may lose access to their purchased games at a developer's whim. Even though there are enough signatures to move to the next step, Scott explained in a <a class="no-affiliate-link" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cmkCQJrc9n4">YouTube video</a> that many of these may have been incorrectly filled out, while others could have been falsely submitted. The movement's founder said, "This is not a change.org petition, this is a government process," adding that "spoofing signatures on it is a crime." To ensure enough legitimate signatures are collected, Scott said that there needs to be at least 10 percent more to cover the potentially invalid ones. As of July 6, the petition has earned more than 1.2 million signatures. Beyond the signatures, a European advocacy group that includes major gaming studios and publishers like Electronic Arts, Microsoft and Nintendo released a statement opposing the movement. "Private servers are not always a viable alternative option for players as the protections we put in place to secure players’ data, remove illegal content, and combat unsafe community content would not exist and would leave rights holders liable," the statement read. "In addition, many titles are designed from the ground-up to be online-only; in effect, these proposals would curtail developer choice by making these video games prohibitively expensive to create." In a <a class="no-affiliate-link" href="https://www.videogameseurope.eu/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/VGE-Position-Discontinuation-of-Support-to-Online-Games-04072025.pdf">longer report</a>, the Video Games Europe group said that this initiative would "raise the costs and risks of developing such games," create a "chilling effect on game design" and "act as a disincentive to making such games available in Europe."

The Levoit Core 400S is our current pick for the <a href="https://www.engadget.com/home/smart-home/best-air-purifier-120040002.html">best air purifier overall</a>. Sure, it might not have the prettiest design of all the options we have tested and the companion app might have a little too much going on. But the Core 400S does its job and does it well.

The Core 400S has a cylindrical shape with vents at the top and a touch display that shows air quality readings. You'll be able to get a sense of the current air quality in your space at a glance with a color-changing ring that will light up in blue, green, orange or red. The 360-degree filtration system is said to be capable of capturing over 99.9 percent of pollutants as small as 0.3 microns, such as dust, pet dander and pollen. There is an auto mode that should suffice for maintaining air quality, but the Core 400S is compatible with Alexa and Google Assistant voice controls too.

Elon Musk's proposed America Party is already attracting the attention of the ultra-rich

Just a day after former White House advisor Elon Musk claimed on X that he's creating a <a class="no-affiliate-link" href="https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1941584569523732930">new political party</a> in the US, some deep-pocketed figures have offered support and potential interest. Replying to an X post that said the America Party would offer "independence from the two-party system," billionaire <a class="no-affiliate-link" href="https://x.com/mcuban/status/1941612269051240470">Mark Cuban</a> and investment banker <a class="no-affiliate-link" href="https://x.com/Scaramucci/status/1941604620947579060">Anthony Scaramucci</a> both replied to Musk, providing some possible next steps. After celebrating the America Party announcement post with emojis, Cuban said that he works with the Center for Competitive Democracy and could help get Musk's party on ballots. Scaramucci also responded on X, saying he would "like to meet to discuss." <div id="a6da7c68de3743ebbabf9e16eb81773e"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet">I work with <a href="https://twitter.com/voterchoice?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@voterchoice</a> . They will help you get on ballots. That is their mission. <a href="https://t.co/o4ERVGwQNH">https://t.co/o4ERVGwQNH</a>— Mark Cuban (@mcuban) <a href="https://twitter.com/mcuban/status/1941613414461174071?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">July 5, 2025</a></blockquote> </div> Scaramucci previously served as the White House communications director in 2017 during Trump's first term before being dismissed 10 days in. The former Trump ally has since crossed to the other side of the political aisle and supported both Joe Biden and Kamala Harris in the 2024 presidential campaigns. Similarly, Cuban previously supported Harris and was even tied to the Democratic candidate as a potential running mate. While there are still plenty of questions about Musk's proposed political party that comes after a <a href="https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/musk-appears-delete-posts-claiming-trump-epstein-files/story?id=122609304">hostile fallout</a> with Trump, the Tesla CEO's post on X indicated that it would focus on taking over "two or three Senate seats and eight to 10 House districts." It's unclear if Musk has already filed the necessary paperwork to officially establish the America Party. The <a href="https://www.fec.gov/data/filings/?data_type=efiling">latest filings</a> with the Federal Election Commission show several documents that reference Musk's new party, but the veracity of these is questionable, and they sit alongside a slew of apparent joke filings, including the "American Meme Party," "The Diddy Party" and "The DOGE Party."This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/big-tech/elon-musks-proposed-america-party-is-already-attracting-the-attention-of-the-ultra-rich-170030496.html?src=rss

The best Prime Day laptop deals: Save on MacBooks, Windows 11 machines, Chromebooks and more

Regardless of if you need a new laptop for the upcoming semester or for general use at home, <a href="https://www.engadget.com/amazon-prime-day/">Amazon Prime Day 2025</a> may have just what you’re looking for at a good price. Amongst the clothing, shoes, household essentials and other tech gear are some decent laptop deals that you can snag if you’re a Prime member — and even some that you can grab without a Prime subscription. But deciphering what constitutes a “good deal” on a laptop during Prime Day can be a bit challenging. That’s due in part to the manic nature of laptop prices on Amazon in particular: they fluctuate often depending on model, brand, configuration, seller and more. But Engadget can help by collecting all of the best Prime Day laptop deals here so you don’t have to go searching for them. <h2 id="jump-link-prime-day-laptop-deals-macbooks">Prime Day laptop deals: MacBooks</h2> Apple’s latest laptops are the MacBook Air M4 and the MacBook Pro M4, but the M3-powered machines are still available and great values when you can get them at steep discounts. But for the most future-proof options, we recommend going with the M4 MacBooks. Amazon actually has decent MacBook deals throughout the year, most of the time on the base configurations of any given model. In a welcomed update, Apple recently made all base models of the MacBook Air M4 have 16GB of RAM by default (which is the same as you’ll find on the base-level Pros). <ul> <li><a class="rapid-with-clickid" href="https://shopping.yahoo.com/rdlw?merchantId=66ea567a-c987-4c2e-a2ff-02904efde6ea&itemId=amazon_B0DZDBWM5B&siteId=us-engadget&pageId=1p-autolink&contentUuid=a3e8fc7d-d1ed-4d0c-be65-2a9a6472a02e&featureId=text-link&merchantName=Amazon&linkText=MacBook+Air+%2815-inch%2C+M4%2C+16GB+RAM%2C+256GB+SSD%29+for+%241%2C049+%28%24150+off%29&custData=eyJzb3VyY2VOYW1lIjoiV2ViLURlc2t0b3AtVmVyaXpvbiIsImxhbmRpbmdVcmwiOiJodHRwczovL3d3dy5hbWF6b24uY29tL2RwL0IwRFpEQldNNUIvcmVmPWZzX2FfbWJ0Ml91czI_dGFnPWdkZ3QwYy0yMCIsImNvbnRlbnRVdWlkIjoiYTNlOGZjN2QtZDFlZC00ZDBjLWJlNjUtMmE5YTY0NzJhMDJlIiwib3JpZ2luYWxVcmwiOiJodHRwczovL3d3dy5hbWF6b24uY29tL2RwL0IwRFpEQldNNUIvcmVmPWZzX2FfbWJ0Ml91czIiLCJkeW5hbWljQ2VudHJhbFRyYWNraW5nSWQiOnRydWUsInNpdGVJZCI6InVzLWVuZ2FkZ2V0IiwicGFnZUlkIjoiMXAtYXV0b2xpbmsiLCJmZWF0dXJlSWQiOiJ0ZXh0LWxpbmsifQ&signature=AQAAAX4SZkPTDLXjZZ1P3AXhQ3t4DS_yhyCWJH7i2_QOBpJB&gcReferrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Fdp%2FB0DZDBWM5B%2Fref%3Dfs_a_mbt2_us2">MacBook Air (15-inch, M4, 16GB RAM, 256GB SSD) for $1,049 ($150 off)</a></li> <li><a class="rapid-with-clickid" href="https://shopping.yahoo.com/rdlw?merchantId=66ea567a-c987-4c2e-a2ff-02904efde6ea&itemId=amazon_B0DLHB9X2G&siteId=us-engadget&pageId=1p-autolink&contentUuid=a3e8fc7d-d1ed-4d0c-be65-2a9a6472a02e&featureId=text-link&merchantName=Amazon&linkText=MacBook+Air+%2815-inch%2C+M3%2C+24GB+RAM%2C+512GB+SSD%29+for+%241%2C249+%2826+percent+off%29&custData=eyJzb3VyY2VOYW1lIjoiV2ViLURlc2t0b3AtVmVyaXpvbiIsImxhbmRpbmdVcmwiOiJodHRwczovL3d3dy5hbWF6b24uY29tL2RwL0IwRExIQjlYMkc_dGFnPWdkZ3QwYy0yMCIsImNvbnRlbnRVdWlkIjoiYTNlOGZjN2QtZDFlZC00ZDBjLWJlNjUtMmE5YTY0NzJhMDJlIiwib3JpZ2luYWxVcmwiOiJodHRwczovL3d3dy5hbWF6b24uY29tL2RwL0IwRExIQjlYMkciLCJkeW5hbWljQ2VudHJhbFRyYWNraW5nSWQiOnRydWUsInNpdGVJZCI6InVzLWVuZ2FkZ2V0IiwicGFnZUlkIjoiMXAtYXV0b2xpbmsiLCJmZWF0dXJlSWQiOiJ0ZXh0LWxpbmsifQ&signature=AQAAAZthAR4OArGJXezmSqgd50eoh1jrUTyTllp84bWHsK-Y&gcReferrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Fdp%2FB0DLHB9X2G">MacBook Air (15-inch, M3, 24GB RAM, 512GB SSD) for $1,249 (26 percent off)</a></li> <li><a class="rapid-with-clickid" href="https://shopping.yahoo.com/rdlw?merchantId=66ea567a-c987-4c2e-a2ff-02904efde6ea&itemId=amazon_B0DLHBYRPS&siteId=us-engadget&pageId=1p-autolink&contentUuid=a3e8fc7d-d1ed-4d0c-be65-2a9a6472a02e&featureId=text-link&merchantName=Amazon&linkText=MacBook+Pro+%2814-inch%2C+M4%2C+16GB+RAM%2C+512GB+SSD%29+for+%241%2C429+%2811+percent+off%29&custData=eyJzb3VyY2VOYW1lIjoiV2ViLURlc2t0b3AtVmVyaXpvbiIsImxhbmRpbmdVcmwiOiJodHRwczovL3d3dy5hbWF6b24uY29tL2RwL0IwRExIQllSUFMvcmVmPWZzX2FfbWJ0Ml91czE_dGFnPWdkZ3QwYy0yMCIsImNvbnRlbnRVdWlkIjoiYTNlOGZjN2QtZDFlZC00ZDBjLWJlNjUtMmE5YTY0NzJhMDJlIiwib3JpZ2luYWxVcmwiOiJodHRwczovL3d3dy5hbWF6b24uY29tL2RwL0IwRExIQllSUFMvcmVmPWZzX2FfbWJ0Ml91czEiLCJkeW5hbWljQ2VudHJhbFRyYWNraW5nSWQiOnRydWUsInNpdGVJZCI6InVzLWVuZ2FkZ2V0IiwicGFnZUlkIjoiMXAtYXV0b2xpbmsiLCJmZWF0dXJlSWQiOiJ0ZXh0LWxpbmsifQ&signature=AQAAAQM8oSt0TJp2H3GcRQYKPKB_qtjm8GqhDw65h3-8dFOf&gcReferrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Fdp%2FB0DLHBYRPS%2Fref%3Dfs_a_mbt2_us1">MacBook Pro (14-inch, M4, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD) for $1,429 (11 percent off)</a></li> </ul> <h2 id="jump-link-prime-day-laptop-deals-windows-laptops">Prime day laptop deals: Windows laptops</h2> You’ve got a lot of variety to choose from when it comes to Windows laptops, and that can be a blessing or a curse.
