Donald Trump’s image will soon be used to sell smartphones, the Trump Organization confirmed after unveiling a new wireless service, Trump Mobile, on Monday.
According to the press release, Trump Mobile’s “flagship” wireless plan will be “The 47 Plan,” which references Trump’s current term as the United States’ 47th president.
The Trump Organization says the plan offers an “unbeatable value”—costing $47.45 per month—and “transformational” cellular service. But the price seems to be on par with other major carriers’ “best phone plans,” according to a recent CNET roundup, and the service simply plugs into the 5G network through “all three major carriers,” the press release noted.
The highly anticipated Android 16 update, which freshly rolled out to Google Pixel phones last week, has quickly become a source of frustration for a growing number of users. Reports are flooding in across social media platforms like Reddit and X, detailing debilitating bugs that render gesture navigation and traditional on-screen buttons
I test a lot of batteries and I find myself drawn to the ones that do a little extra, like offering built-in cables, magnetic charging, onboard displays or, in this case, a handy kickstand that lets you view your phone as it recharges. Anker’s MagGo 10,000mAh power bank is the one we recommend for iPhones in our guide to the best power banks. Right now, it’s 20 percent off, bringing the $90 brick down to $72. That’s not the lowest price we’ve seen — it dipped below $60 for Black Friday last year — but this is the best deal we’ve seen since then.
In my test with an iPhone 15, the bank’s 10,000mAh capacity charged the handset from near-dead to full and had enough juice left over for an additional 70 percent refill. It was fairly speedy too, getting the phone up to 85 percent in about 90 minutes. The kickstand is sturdy and the magnets hold the phone firmly. Though that compatibility is restricted to MagSafe iPhones (iPhone 12 and newer), the USB-C port on the side means you can charge other devices with a wired connection. It even comes with a USB-C to C cable.
A digital display on the side tells you how much charge the battery has left as well as how much wattage is funneling to your device as you charge. It comes in five colors: white, black, blue, green and pink, all of which are on sale. You can get the same deal directly from Anker with an auto-applied code. Of course, the battery may dip lower for Amazon’s Prime Day sale that’s expected in July, but even without a further discount, this is still a good deal on a capable portable charger.

Whether it’s from work, caregiving, emotional overload, or just trying to keep up with the pace of life, sometimes we all hit a wall. Fortunately, there are podcasts out there that can offer real help—not just quick fixes, but the tools, insight, and compassion you need to recover, recharge, and protect your mental health.
Here are 10 of the podcasts I turn to when I need to go from overwhelmed to just whelmed.
Mental Health Rewritten

A constant cycle of shame can be one of the many reasons for feeling burnout, especially social burnout. On Mental Health Rewritten, Dominic Lawson is great at creating a cohesive and scientific narrative to help you combat shame with empathy, especially when that shame stems from elements of identity like race and gender. This season of the show hopes to help you rewrite your internal and external dialogues around sex, suicide, and cultural identity, from desire to dysfunction. At the very least, it might make you feel less alone and more heard.
10% Happier

The prospect of living mindfully can be daunting, but on 10% Happier, Dan Harris makes it feel accessible. With a focus on meditation, neuroscience, and emotional balance, this show is a powerful antidote to burnout. Harris, who got interested in the topic after experiencing his own on-air panic attacks, interviews a wide range of experts, blending science with personal experience. He is a skeptical, funny, and refreshingly honest host, sharing his own struggles with anxiety, stress, and overwork, giving the show totally relatable, approachable vibe. (We can all make tiny changes, right?)
Therapy for Black Girls

On Therapy for Black Girls, Dr. Joy Harden Bradford offers accessible, culturally sensitive conversations about mental health, boundaries, and navigating burnout aimed especially at Black women—but her advice resonates universally. She interviews experts on topics like people-pleasing, toxic workplaces, and self-care strategies. This show will both inform you and make you feel cared for.
The Happiness Lab

The Happiness Lab, hosted by Yale psychology professor Dr. Laurie Santos, is a science-based, myth-busting deep dive into what truly makes us happy—and how modern life often sets us up for burnout instead. The show draws directly from Dr. Santos’ wildly popular Yale course “The Science of Well-Being,” which has helped millions rethink their approach to stress, work, and daily life. Dr. Santos blends storytelling with cutting-edge research to address stuff like toxic productivity, perfectionism, emotional exhaustion, and how our brains often trick us into habits that fuel burnout rather than prevent it.
Everything Happens with Kate Bowler

On Everything Happens, Kate Bowler brings heartfelt honesty to difficult conversations about navigating the most challenging seasons in life, offering perspective and grace for those feeling overwhelmed or exhausted. A historian who recently faced down her own cancer diagnosis, Bowler excels at exploring the intersections of grief, loss, and resilience.
WorkLife With Adam Grant

On WorkLife, organizational psychologist Adam Grant dives into what we can do to make work better and less draining. His episodes on toxic workplaces, resilience, and remaining productive without burnout are essential listening. His expertise helps listeners reimagine work culture and personal habits, and not many people can blend academic research with engaging storytelling like Adam can.
The Ezra Klein Show

While The Ezra Klein Show isn’t exclusively about burnout, many of his in-depth interviews tackle the cultural, economic, and psychological forces that drive modern exhaustion. Ezra interviews top thinkers, from psychologists to sociologists to economists, who help listeners understand not just how burnout happens, but why our systems often make it inevitable. As host, Ezra asks thoughtful, compassionate questions that get to the heart of work culture, attention scarcity, rest, and the pressures of modern life.
We Can Do Hard Things

On We Can Do Hard Things, Glennon Doyle, Abby Wambach, and Amanda Doyle offer honest conversations about boundaries, feeling overwhelmed, and navigating emotional labor. With vulnerability and humor, these three share their own struggles and insecurities, making the show feel like a safe space. Topics range from dealing with parenting burnout to navigating exhausting relationship dynamics.
Feminist Survival Project

Based on their bestselling book Burnout, on Feminist Survival Project, sisters Emily Nagoski and Amelia Nagoski offer science-backed strategies for women dealing with chronic stress. (Don’t miss “Polyvagal 101,” about your nervous system can screw you over.) If you’re neurodivergent and looking for a podcast that acknowledges the exhaustion of living in systems not designed for humans to thrive in, it’s especially helpful; Emily is on the autism spectrum and is open about her experiences with ADHD. This one is more academic than other shows on the list, but it’s weirdly also the funniest.
The Blindboy Podcast

The Blindboy Podcast, hosted by Blindboy of the Rubberbandits, isn’t strictly about stress, but Blindboy’s gentle conversations and openness make theshow feel like a big hug when you’re stressed. With a mixture of cultural commentary, history, observations, and magical storytelling, Blindboy manages to normalize the therapy process and the experience of living as an autistic person. In free-flowing episodes that cover everything from Irish and Greek mythology, to what’s inside of a tennis ball, to a discussion with the late Sinéad O’Connor, he helps listeners discover something they might need to hear about the world and themselves.
After August 4, creators setting up a paid membership page on Patreon will have to pay a 10 percent fee on their earnings under the platform’s new standard plan. While Patreon currently offers Pro and Premium plans, which carry fees of 8 percent and 12 percent of creators’ income, respectively, it’s merging the two into a single option moving forward. The price increase only applies to creators publishing a new page; Patreon says it will continue to honor the lower Pro rate for anyone who has locked it in by August 4.
Once the change is in place, things will also get a bit cheaper for creators who were operating under the Premium (12 percent) plan. Rather than continuing to pay 12 percent, Premium creators will be shifted to a custom “Pro + merch” plan that will come with an 11 percent fee. If they remove the merch option, the fee will drop to 8 percent.
Patreon also says it’s increasing the amount of free storage it’ll provide for creators using Patreon Video. While it previously said it would provide storage for up to 100 hours of video across the account’s lifetime and charge for anything beyond that, Patreon now says it will begin offering 100 hours of video per month for free later this summer. The move comes shortly after the platform teased new tools including a built-in livestreaming feature, Live Video. Patreon began tests of Live Video among select creators this spring, with plans for a summer rollout.

The Circuit Gilles Villeneuve on the Île Notre-Dame in Montreal has long been home to the Canadian Grand Prix. The artificial island was originally built for Expo 67 but was later remodeled for the 1976 Olympics; a race track was then constructed out of the roads on the island in 1978. F1 has come and gone in the US and Mexico in that time, but Canada has been a near-constant, missing just 2009.
Many of those races have been classics. 2007 saw Lewis Hamilton’s first win, when he was a rookie with McLaren. (Takuma Sato’s sixth place in the Super Aguri made that day even better.) 2010 had such extreme tire degradation that then-F1 boss Bernie Ecclestone had Pirelli build that into its tires from 2011 as a feature, one that at times had a highly deleterious effect on racing.
Yesterday’s race in Montreal will not be remembered as one of the all-time great Canadian F1 races. Well, perhaps it will by the Mercedes team, which scored its first win of the year with George Russell, and rookie Kimi Antonelli finished third, claiming his first podium. Montreal lacks the long-duration corners that overheat the Mercedes’ tires past their best. Instead, it rewards good traction and good braking, both attributes that the silver arrows’ car possesses.
For the first time, an Apple executive has shown themselves using their visionOS Persona.
Greg “Joz” Joswiak, Apple’s SVP of Worldwide Marketing, shared a short clip on X in response to YouTuber iJustine, who posted a similar clip raving about the all-new Personas in visionOS 26.

visionOS 26 was announced last week at WWDC25, and the significantly more realistic Personas are one of the many improvements the update is set to bring.
Apple says the new Personas leverage “industry-leading volumetric rendering and machine learning technology”, and have “striking expressivity and sharpness, offering a full side profile view, and remarkably accurate hair, lashes, and complexion”. The company has also expanded the eyewear options for your Persona to include over 1000 variations of glasses.
Despite the improvements, the new Personas are still generated in a matter of seconds via holding the headset up to let it scan your face.

Apple Vision Pro’s original Personas were harshly criticized, and even ridiculed, at the headset’s launch last year, with many feeling they fell into the uncanny valley and calling them “cursed”. Apple has improved their realism over time, but the visionOS 26 update represents a step-change in quality.
That Joswiak has shared a clip of himself using his visionOS 26 Persona suggests an important quality threshold has been crossed in the mind of Apple executives, and the feature is no longer described as beta.
Tim Cook remains the only Apple executive to be publicly seen wearing the Vision Pro headset itself, in a Vanity Fair piece one day before it launched.
The Trump Organization on Monday unveiled a mobile phone plan and a $499 smartphone that is set to launch in September. CNBC: The new service, Trump Mobile, will offer a $47.45-per-month plan that includes “unlimited” talk, text and data, as well as roadside assistance and a “Telehealth and Pharmacy Benefit,” according to its website. The company, owned by President Donald Trump, also announced it will sell a “T1” smartphone, which appears to feature a gold-colored metal case etched with an American flag.
Connect the dots takes on a whole new dimension of color, scale, and fluidity in virtual reality with Connectome on Quest.
Who among us didn’t play connect the dots at some point in their childhood? Connectome aims to bring this simple game of creating shapes to VR by drawing lines between points in space using hand tracking on Quest. In this game, though, connecting the dots takes on a new approach since it’s now played out across your room versus drawing on a flat piece of paper.

Gameplay captured by UploadVR
The game begins with a short tutorial to orient you with using your hands and the proper position to place them in to use the ray-cast beam now shooting from their virtual palms. This is thanks to the Meta Interaction SDK used in creating the game, and playing Connectome is a hands-only experience. Controllers are not supported.

Once you have a sense of how to pinch and drag, the game begins with having you create a few simple shapes. One of these forms is a rectangle that then becomes a doorway to the next area. At the center of that door is an interaction point with no instruction. I intuitively pinched it and pulled myself forward, which felt like the logical thing to do here. When I asked Grant Hinkson, the developer of Connectome, he mentioned that this was somewhat intentional, as he wants players to find their own way through these spaces.
The deeper down this rabbit hole of connecting dots I went, the more interesting it becomes. After clearing the more basic levels, Connectome presents you with rooms that play with the concepts of color, lighting, and scale. The effect of completing a puzzle and then being dragged inside of the form you just made and seeing it at a different size is mesmerizing. Movement fluidity also shines here, as the transitions and hand movements are all very smooth. There is also a nice ambient musical backtrack that changes to fit the tone of each new area you visit. All of this came together to provide some welcome stress relief at the end of a very long day of walking the showfloor at this year’s Augmented World Expo.

Hinkson commented that others had described the experience as meditative. After trying it for myself, I can see how this would be an excellent way to unwind and lose yourself in this world of geometric forms and light that are building upon themselves all around you. He also said the intent is to create a sense of wonder, and the app does this nicely.
Connectome launched on May 27th on the Meta Store and is currently available for Quest 2, 3, 3S, and Pro. Hinkson also has aspirations to bring Connectome to the Apple Vision Pro at a later date, saying he’s excited to see how the headset’s eye tracking might provide a new way for players to interact and connect the dots. He’s floating a few ideas for possible future updates, but nothing is confirmed at the time of this writing, so we will be keeping an eye on this app for future updates.
If you’re having trouble swiping around your Pixel, or using the on-screen navigation buttons, you’re not alone. It seems with last week’s Android 16 update, Google inadvertently introduced a bug for some Pixel users, which now makes it difficult to get around their brand-new version of Android—no matter which navigation method they’re using.
As Android Headlines reports, the complaints have been rolling onto social media sites and forums, like X and Reddit. Some claim navigation buttons on their Pixels have become totally unresponsive, while others experience delays around 30 seconds (if not longer) any time they try to hit a button. Still others have issues with navigation gestures—Android Police founder Artem Russakovskii highlights how swiping back, which should take the user back to the previous page or app, will just randomly do nothing.
To be clear, it doesn’t appear that this is a bug affecting most Pixel users running Android 16. In fact, some users in these Reddit threads confirm their Pixels running Android 16 are working as expected. One user even says they’ve had the opposite experience, that their Pixel 9 Pro XL feels “super smooth,” in response to a Pixel 6 owner who says their device is now unusable.
Still, this is a huge pain for anyone who owns a phone with the glitch. Don’t get me wrong: There was a time when we were primed to wait 30 seconds or more after asking our computers to perform a function. But those days have long passed. Modern smartphones especially are designed to be fast, fluid, and responsive. Even a short delay between an input and its corresponding action feels like a bad user experience, so painfully slow delays, not to mention a totally unresponsive UI, is unacceptable in 2025.
Troubleshooting navigation issues on Pixel
There’s no official fix for this issue at this time. However, after scrolling through forum posts, I see some workarounds to troubleshoot the issue and get your Pixel working again.
The original poster of this Reddit thread, for example, later commented to share that switching their Android launcher fixed the glitches. The OP moved back to the Pixel launcher from Nova, which surprised them, since they had been using Nova for the past decade without issue. One reply says they have a similar problem when using Nova.
While this could be a compatibility issue with Nova and Android 16, it does seem to go beyond Nova itself. Another Pixel owner using Pixel Launcher has the same problems, and shared their workaround: First, pull down on the navigation bar twice to access the settings button in the bottom right. Then, head to Apps > All apps > Pixel Launcher, then choose “Force stop.”
Could this be a general issue with launchers on Android 16? Possibly, but we won’t know for sure until Google officially addresses the issue. The official PixelCommunity Reddit account did reach out to one OP about the problem, so hopefully the company pushes a patch out quickly.
The Outdoor Trade Show 2025 was held in Liverpool this year, bringing together brands and organisations from around the industry.
While searching for the best bikepacking kit on display, we came across some interesting lifestyle products that complement cycling and could make your life easier when you’re out in the wilds.
Here’s what we found when walking the halls of the Exhibition Centre Liverpool.

This power pack from Nebo Tools is perfect for leaving in your car or van, whether you’re camping on race weekend or heading to the trailhead.
The pack is designed primarily as a jump starter, with the Nebo Ultimate using 1,500 amps to power your starter motor and get your engine running again.
There’s also a torch on the end of the power pack. Nick Clark / Our Media
However, it’s the other features of the Ultimate that stand out, with a 3-pin 220-240V AC outlet featuring on the topside of the pack, enabling you to use large appliances such as laptops when you’re away from home.
Alongside this, there are USB-C and USB-A charging ports that should help keep all your devices charged when you’re on a riding weekend.
The Nebo Ultimate packs a lot of features into its slim design. Nick Clark / Our Media
The party piece for riders is the digital compressor, which is said to be able to inflate tyres to 130psi.
All of this is powered by a 15,000mAh Li-ion battery, which can be recharged in under four hours.
The price of the Ultimate is £249.99, and Nebo claims the weight comes in at 1,150g.

If you’re heading to the trails for a camping holiday, bringing the right provisions is key to having a good time.
The CFX5 looks perfect for those longer trips and has been designed with two cooling zones, enabling you to set individual cooling for your recovery drinks and beers.
The cooler uses vacuum-insulated panels, which are said to provide better cooling while reducing the amount of energy required.
The Dometic CFX5 cooler has two compartments. Nick Clark / Our Media
Power comes from AC or DC, or it can be run from Dometic’s range of portable batteries and solar panels.
Cleverly, the cooler has a three-stage dynamic battery protection system that is said to actively monitor inbound power and avoid draining your vehicle’s battery.
There are lights built into the interior so you can tell between beer and soft drinks. Nick Clark / Our Media
There’s also a Mobile Cooling smartphone app that enables you to monitor power consumption and will send you notifications should you leave the lid open.
On the right side of the cooler, there’s a weatherproof control module that enables you to set the temperature. There’s also an 18W USB port for charging your devices.
Dometic says the temperature range can be set between +20°C and -22°C.
The CFX5 is available in two sizes: 75L and 94L, priced at £999 / $999 and £1,179 / $1,179.

The Tepui Foothill is designed so you can still carry items on your roof rack. Nick Clark / Our Media
Camping can be a chore, especially with bikes. Roof tents take some of the pain away, while enabling you to keep your bikes locked safely in your vehicle below.
This Tepui Foothill roof tent from Thule features a compact design that’s said to be able to accommodate two adults comfortably.
The tent is made from a thick canvas. Nick Clark / Our Media
By slimming down the proportions, Thule says it leaves room on the roof bars to store bikes, kayaks or other cargo.
There are plenty of vents and windows on the tent, with two skylights on the roof when the tarp isn’t installed. Nick Clark / Our Media
The tent folds open, with telescopic poles used to keep the fabric in place.
When folded away, Thule says the tent sits only 24cm above the roof rack, meaning you shouldn’t have too much trouble sneaking under height barriers, depending on the vehicle you have.
The tent comes with a 4cm foam mattress and machine-washable cover, meaning you only have to decide whether to use a sleeping bag or duvet.
The Inside looks cosy and breathable, depending on what you do with the vents. Nick Clark / Our Media
There are internal pockets on the walls of the tent to organise bedtime essentials, and there are exterior attachment points for lamps, storage and other gear.
A telescopic ladder is used to get into the tent, which can be stored in the tent case when not in use.
The Tepui Foothill is priced at £1,499.99 and requires roof bars for installation.

The El Campo Fire Pit is a neat and tidy way of having a fire when camping. Nick Clark / Our Media
Camping and fires go hand in hand, with dancing flames making every evening under the stars a magical experience.
The wax is said to be odourless, meaning your clothes won’t smell of smoke in the morning. Nick Clark / Our Media
Eco Fuego claims to have reinvented the campfire, using vegetable wax instead of firewood for the flame.
The design is said to produce minimal carbon emissions and deliver a consistent, odourless flame for hours.
Candle refills can be bought for £26.99. Nick Clark / Our Media
Similar to your Live, Laugh, Love candles, Eco Fuego’s design needs a wick for the wax to melt, and for this, it uses cardboard running the length of the candle.
The candle is said to last for eight hours, which should give you a few nights of scary stories while camping.
The whole thing packs away easily, leaving no trace of the fire. Nick Clark / Our Media
The El Campo Fire Pit, priced at £124.99, includes the burner, lid, pit drum insert, refill candle and a carry case.
Donald Trump is launching a cellular brand called Trump Mobile. The newly formed company, which was announced today by Donald Trump Jr., will sell a single wireless plan called “The 47 Plan,” which offers unlimited talk and texting, as well as unlimited data that throttles speeds after the first 20GB each month. The Trump Mobile plan is a white-label plan built on an existing mobile virtual network operator (MVNO) called Liberty Mobile. The company also plans to sell “The T1 Phone,” a gold-accented smartphone that it says will be manufactured in the United States.
During the announcement event for Trump Mobile held at Trump Tower in New York City, Donald Trump Jr. said they were building something for “people who have been underserved,” and to “make sure that real Americans could get true value from their mobile carriers.” Trump Mobile’s only plan will cost $47.45 per month, which is roughly double that of equivalent offerings at other low-cost carriers like Mint Mobile and Boost Mobile. Liberty Mobile, the MVNO behind Trump Mobile, offers plans starting at $20 per month. Customers will be able to use their own devices with a Trump Mobile SIM card.
The plan will supposedly include a telemedicine service powered by Doctegrity, which will allow subscribers to access medical and behavioral health services through the third-party provider. The plan is also said to include roadside assistance provided by Drive America and mobile device protection by Omega Mobile Care.
Details on The T1 Phone are sparse, though some specs are listed on the website. The phone is said to sport a 6.8” AMOLED screen with a 120 Hz refresh rate, a rear three-camera setup with a 50MP main camera, and 2MP “depth sensor” and macro cameras, a fingerprint sensor and “AI Face Unlock,” and a “5000mAh long life camera,” which we presume was intended to describe the battery. The phone is said to run on Android 15. Oh, and it costs $499, which is both more than what it’s likely worth, and casts doubt on its manufacturing claims. Recall that estimates for American-made iPhone were in the ballpark of $1,500. Who knows if it will ever see the light of day, but if it does, maybe this piece of Trump-branded merch will be free of obvious spelling errors.
Donald Trump’s various licensing ventures have proved lucrative for the sitting president. In his latest financial disclosure, Trump disclosed over $50 million in income from token sales related to his crypto venture with World Liberty Financial. The disclosure also listed incomes of $2.8 million from Trump Watches, $2.5 million from Trump Sneakers and Fragrances, $1.3 million from the Greenwood Bible and $1.16 million from his NFTs.

Playing an infamous, blood-sucking character? Chances are you’ve been forced out of every major city in Cyrodiil by overzealous guards who see your fangs and red eyes and want to slaughter your vampire butt, right?

After weeks of online discourse, drama, apologies, and bad posts, the price tag for the next major Borderlands game has finally been revealed by publisher 2K Games. Turns out, Borderlands 4 won’t cost $80 after all. Instead, the looter shooter sequel is launching with a $70 label.
It’ll stream live via Nintendo’s official YouTube account. We’ve put an embed below, so feel free to keep this page bookmarked for Wednesday morning. We’ll be watching and will pull out all of the juicy banana-shaped nuggets.
Nintendo promises “roughly 15 minutes of information about the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 game.” That matches the length of the recent Direct that was dedicated to Mario Kart World.
We still don’t know too much about this game, other than the basics. It stars Donkey Kong and he wants to collect gigantic gold bananas because of course he does. The game worlds are destructible, so the goofball gorilla can get his Minecraft on and dig through just about anything.
It has been suggested that any ape-related destruction remains as a permanent part of the map, thanks to the increased power of the Switch 2. The initial trailer also shows some sidescrolling sections inspired by Donkey Kong Country.
This seems like the perfect video game to tide us over until Mario gets his lazy butt away from the racing tracks and back into saving kingdoms. Donkey Kong Bananza will be available on July 17 for Switch 2.

Because there’s nothing aliens love more than flat-footed dancing to bluegrass (don’t quote me on that, I’ve only met a few and there was a language barrier), this is a bluegrass cover of the Star Trek:The Next Generation theme by musicians Gordon Lustig (banjo, mandolin, guitar), Kevin Axt (bass) and Evan Price (fiddle). It’s a tasty jam, although they should have called it Star Trek: Peepaw’s Generation. Now, pass me a banjo and that rocket fuel and let’s party. “You mean actual rocket fuel, or the moonshine?” Doesn’t matter, we’re going blind either way.
The Nintendo Switch 2 is the latest next-generation console to release into the wild, continuing the success of its predecessor. The big difference between the Switch 2 and other consoles like Sony’s PlayStation 5 is in its portable nature. This spells many potential issues with durability, since the likelihood of taking the console on-the-go
Nexus Mods is changing hands. The vast database for free mods of PC games ranging from The Witcher 3 to Stardew Valley has been sold for the first time since it was created 24 years ago. “The strain of being responsible for the behemoth I created has taken its toll,” previous owner Dark0ne wrote in an update on…
Microsoft’s latest Windows 11 preview builds contain a bug that replaces the operating system’s startup sound with Windows Vista’s iconic boot chime from 2006. Microsoft acknowledged the bug in its release notes — describing it as a “delightful blast from the past” — and said it was working on a fix.
