ExpressVPN two-year subscriptions are 61 percent off right now

If you're looking for a VPN to use on your next trip, or even just at home while you're streaming or gaming, <a class="rapid-with-clickid" href="https://shopping.yahoo.com/rdlw?merchantId=4255ebf1-6185-403e-9be2-91ab47ad1ac3&siteId=us-engadget&pageId=1p-autolink&contentUuid=842bda85-b5cf-4292-8d3c-395e1787cf06&featureId=text-link&merchantName=ExpressVPN&custData=eyJzb3VyY2VOYW1lIjoiV2ViLURlc2t0b3AtVmVyaXpvbiIsImxhbmRpbmdVcmwiOiJodHRwczovL3d3dy5leHByZXNzdnBuLmNvbS9vcmRlciIsImNvbnRlbnRVdWlkIjoiODQyYmRhODUtYjVjZi00MjkyLThkM2MtMzk1ZTE3ODdjZjA2Iiwib3JpZ2luYWxVcmwiOiJodHRwczovL3d3dy5leHByZXNzdnBuLmNvbS9vcmRlciJ9&signature=AQAAAUy47K_SlBvOIiolVNsF3UOnZ4gvGwA4HstTW-OawMBM&gcReferrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.expressvpn.com%2Forder">ExpressVPN</a> is one of <a href="https://www.engadget.com/cybersecurity/vpn/best-vpn-130004396.html">our favorites</a> and you can subscribe at a discount right now. ExpressVPN is offering a two-year plan plus an extra four free months for a total of $140. That's 61 percent off the typical price, and it comes out to $5 per month. Even though you have to pay the $140 upfront, it's a solid deal — especially considering having access to a good VPN service into late 2027 sounds pretty dang nice. ExpressVPN earned a top spot on our <a href="https://www.engadget.com/cybersecurity/vpn/best-vpn-130004396.html">best VPN</a> list thanks to its speedy connections, Network Lock kill-switch feature and its support on a variety of devices including smart TVs and game consoles. It works on a variety of devices, so this isn’t just for the living room desktop. ExpressVPN integrates with mobile gadgets, smart TVs and game consoles, among other items. It’s really the best solution for gamers who travel a lot. It also comes with an in-house password manager, which would eliminate the need for a standalone subscription. Truly the only real downside of this service is the price. The regular cost is $13 per month, which is mighty steep. This sale alleviates this concern, at least for 28 months. Spending $5 per month for a VPN of this caliber is something of a no-brainer.

Engadget Podcast: NY Auto Show 2025 and a chat with the director of The Legend of Ochi

This week, we're diving into Engadget's coverage from the 2025 New York Auto Show. There are tons of EVs, as we expected, as well as some surprising disappointments (what the heck did Subaru do to the Outback?!). Also, we once again try to make sense of the Trump administration's tariff mess. Stay tuned to the end of this episode for a chat with Isaiah Saxon, the director of A24’s The Legend of Ochi, about his puppet-filled kid’s adventure. <div id="99049fa3c44f40b181c6928ea43ee6a3"></div> <h2 id="jump-link-subscribe">Subscribe!</h2> <ul> <li><a class="rapid-with-clickid" href="https://shopping.yahoo.com/rdlw?merchantId=9b2a3988-c5c9-4640-8e2b-1de7b2717343&siteId=us-engadget&pageId=1p-autolink&contentUuid=50bcb6da-646e-47c6-8c3f-35c81a634082&featureId=text-link&merchantName=iTunes&custData=eyJzb3VyY2VOYW1lIjoiV2ViLURlc2t0b3AtVmVyaXpvbiIsImxhbmRpbmdVcmwiOiJodHRwczovL2l0dW5lcy5hcHBsZS5jb20vdXMvcG9kY2FzdC90aGUtZW5nYWRnZXQtcG9kY2FzdC9pZDExNDI3OTA1MzA_bXQ9MiIsImNvbnRlbnRVdWlkIjoiNTBiY2I2ZGEtNjQ2ZS00N2M2LThjM2YtMzVjODFhNjM0MDgyIiwib3JpZ2luYWxVcmwiOiJodHRwczovL2l0dW5lcy5hcHBsZS5jb20vdXMvcG9kY2FzdC90aGUtZW5nYWRnZXQtcG9kY2FzdC9pZDExNDI3OTA1MzA_bXQ9MiJ9&signature=AQAAAWCVN1dSrh8Y3NyX0xo7Fq3T6ZDsB_76qPBPih1CHfi8&gcReferrer=https%3A%2F%2Fitunes.apple.com%2Fus%2Fpodcast%2Fthe-engadget-podcast%2Fid1142790530%3Fmt%3D2">iTunes</a></li> <li><a class="rapid-with-clickid" href="https://shopping.yahoo.com/rdlw?siteId=us-engadget&pageId=1p-autolink&contentUuid=50bcb6da-646e-47c6-8c3f-35c81a634082&featureId=text-link&custData=eyJzb3VyY2VOYW1lIjoiV2ViLURlc2t0b3AtVmVyaXpvbiIsImxhbmRpbmdVcmwiOiJodHRwczovL29wZW4uc3BvdGlmeS5jb20vc2hvdy8zRUMzZE1JUkI5OWRrdm9TQmVTTzdHP3NpPWY3VUFMR0ttUkRXdE9yVThaNC11aVEiLCJjb250ZW50VXVpZCI6IjUwYmNiNmRhLTY0NmUtNDdjNi04YzNmLTM1YzgxYTYzNDA4MiIsIm9yaWdpbmFsVXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9vcGVuLnNwb3RpZnkuY29tL3Nob3cvM0VDM2RNSVJCOTlka3ZvU0JlU083Rz9zaT1mN1VBTEdLbVJEV3RPclU4WjQtdWlRIn0&signature=AQAAAS2_rdtGz3zyysOTKlvkIY-4cp1t_I2oT_Ix5UGd8Vks&gcReferrer=https%3A%2F%2Fopen.spotify.com%2Fshow%2F3EC3dMIRB99dkvoSBeSO7G%3Fsi%3Df7UALGKmRDWtOrU8Z4-uiQ">Spotify</a></li> <li><a href="http://pca.st/mlY3">Pocket Casts</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.stitcher.com/podcast/engadget/the-engadget-podcast">Stitcher</a></li> <li><a href="https://podcasts.google.com/?feed=aHR0cDovL2ZlZWRzLnNvdW5kY2xvdWQuY29tL3VzZXJzL3NvdW5kY2xvdWQ6dXNlcnM6MjQ1MjIwOTU4L3NvdW5kcy5yc3M&ep=14">Google Podcasts</a></li> </ul> <h2 id="jump-link-credits">Topics</h2> <ul> <li>What’s hot in EVs from New York Auto Show 2025 – 1:56</li> <li>Federal Judge rules that Google has a monopoly on U.S. digital ads – 17:42</li> <li>Facebook antitrust trial begins after several attempts to scuttle the case – 22:18</li> <li>Tariff Watch: tariffs on semiconductors and electronics to be announced later – 31:16</li> <li>PS5 prices are rising around the world – 34:22</li> <li>NPR: Whistleblower shows evidence DOGE took sensitive data from federal labor board – 42:35</li> <li>Sidewalk alerts in Seattle and Palo Alto hacked to play AI-generated messages – 47:18</li> <li>New details for Mario Kart World – 48:43</li> <li>Around Engadget / Working On – 51:42</li> <li>Picks – 54:31</li> <li>Interview with Legend of Ochi director Isaiah Saxon – 59:59</li> </ul> <h2 id="jump-link-credits">Credits </h2> Hosts: Devindra Hardawar and Nathan Ingraham Producer: Ben Ellman Music: Dale North and Terrence O'Brien This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/mobile/smartphones/engadget-podcast-ny-auto-show-2025-and-a-chat-with-the-director-of-the-legend-of-ochi-140014709.html?src=rss

We've recommended Sonos' refurbished program for a while, namely because each product goes through testing to make sure it's working good as new, and the company includes all of the original manuals, accessories and documentation, necessary replacement parts, quality packaging and the same one-year warranty that you'd get buying a brand new device. And with this promotion, Sonos is upping the environmental impact by donating a portion of refurbished item sales to conservation nonprofits.

This is a hybrid unit, so it vacuums and mops. However, the model goes even further and can actually wash and dry the mopping pad. This is something that had to be done manually with previous hybrid vacuums. It also automatically refills the mopping solution tank and can dump dirt from the dock into an enclosed bag for easy disposal. There’s an affiliated app that lets folks know when it’s time for a manual maintenance task. The mopping tank holds enough water for seven continuous days of use. The vacuum portion boosts suction power when on top of a carpet, which is nice, and it automatically retracts the mopping system to avoid accidental spillage. It can vacuum and mop simultaneously on hard floors. This is a near-perfect robovac with all kinds of bells and whistles, but there’s one major drawback. As previously mentioned, the regular price of this thing is a whopping $1,400.

Proton also has more than 8,600 servers to choose from across 110 countries, so you shouldn't have any problem finding one that best suits your preferences. ProtonVPN is our pick for the <a href="https://www.engadget.com/cybersecurity/vpn/best-vpn-130004396.html">best VPN overall</a> due to a blend of its security, usability and privacy. ProtonVPN has a no-logs policy. That means it doesn't keep any records of information that passes through its network. In other words, it doesn't track your internet activity while you're using it, helping to protect you and your anonymity. Other features of ProtonVPN Plus include ad-, malware- and tracker-blocking, as well as fast performance. In our testing, ProtonVPN had a minimal impact on connection speeds in our geoblock, streaming and gaming tests. ProtonVPN is also open source, meaning that anyone with enough knowhow can take a look under the hood and validate Proton's technical claims.

Ryan Gosling's Star Wars movie is titled 'Starfighter' and will be released in 2027

Earlier this year, reports came out that Ryan Gosling was in talks for the lead role in Shawn Levy's Star Wars movie. Now, Gosling has confirmed that he will star in Levy's film, which the Deadpool & Wolverine director has been working on since 2022, at the Star Wars Celebration event in Tokyo. Levy's movie will be called Star Wars: Starfighter, according to <a href="https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-news/star-wars-starfighter-shawn-levy-ryan-gosling-1236193749/">The Hollywood Reporter</a>, and is scheduled for release on May 28, 2027, a few weeks after Avengers: Secret Wars debuts in cinemas.  Starfighter, most likely named after the universe's small combat spacecraft, is a standalone movie set five years after the events in <a href="https://www.engadget.com/2019-12-18-star-wars-rise-of-skywalker-review.html">Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker</a> and will not be connected to the Skywalker family. "It’s not a prequel, not sequel. It’s a new adventure. It’s set in a period of time that we haven’t seen explored yet," Levy said during the event. Neither Levy nor Gosling discussed the plot of the movie, and it's not even clear what character Gosling is playing. Production seems to be looking for a teenage actor and a male and female actor to play as villains alongside Gosling's character. The movie will start production this fall.  A year before Starfighter hits the theaters, however, <a href="https://www.engadget.com/the-mandalorian-and-grogu-are-coming-to-theaters-with-series-creator-jon-favreau-directing-174732996.html">The Mandalorian and Grogu</a> is taking center stage. A spinoff based on The Mandalorian series, it will premiere on May 22, 2026, with Jon Favreau serving as its director. This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/entertainment/tv-movies/ryan-goslings-star-wars-movie-is-titled-starfighter-and-will-be-released-in-2027-123049184.html?src=rss

The first uses virtual and mixed to reality to follow Volo, "an aspiring podracer whose life gets flipped upside down under the mentorship of the infamous Sebulba [from Star Wars Episode I]." Arcade offers podracing in mixed reality on a virtual holotable, and Playset lets players create "Star Wars moments in mixed reality with a collection of unlockable virtual action figures and vehicles."  <div id="af8e20e7de7f4da6bec5cbb7b3d6b76e"><div style="width: 100%; height: 0; padding-bottom: 56.25%;"></div></div> <blockquote>We're calling this a Playset because it isn't just a game; it's an entirely new way to experience the Star Wars galaxy and the worlds we create at ILM.

The Morning After: Crosswalks are being hacked to imitate tech billionaires

Welcome to your Friday edition of TMA. It’s a public holiday where I’m from, so it’s a shorter briefing than usual. Barring a barrage of <a href="https://www.engadget.com/transportation/evs/the-coolest-cars-at-the-2025-new-york-international-auto-show-144832805.html">new cars</a> (tariffs? shh!) revealed at the New York International Auto Show, it’s been a relatively quiet week, but not without a bit of drama. <a href="https://www.engadget.com/transportation/evs/the-coolest-cars-at-the-2025-new-york-international-auto-show-144832805.html"><figure><img alt="TMA" src="https://s.yimg.com/os/creatr-uploaded-images/2025-04/540316c0-1c2d-11f0-b9f5-4c1b3f934892" style="height: 384px; width: 640px;" /><figcaption></figcaption><div class="photo-credit">Engadget</div></figure></a> “You know, they say money can’t buy happiness. And… yeah, OK… I guess that’s true. God knows I’ve tried. But it can buy a Cybertruck, and that’s pretty sick, right? …Right?? Fuck, I’m so alone.” That’s what a pretty realistic AI voice clone of Elon Musk was saying to pedestrians at crosswalks in Palo Alto. An AI Mark Zuckerberg joined him, with both billionaires’ voices mimicked to say, well, the things a lot of us are thinking, whether it’s the invasive AI push, billionaires wielding power over government or other bleak, beige real-world versions of Black Mirror premises. They were in operation at downtown intersections in Redwood City, Menlo Park and Palo Alto but were gone, sadly, by Saturday.

Ask Engadget: How do I keep my electronics from dying when I travel?

Q: I’m traveling soon and plan to bring all the devices I usually use, including my smartphone, tablet and laptop. What should I buy to keep everything charged? A: If you’re traveling domestically, one large and one small power bank plus a foldable charging station (in addition to your usual cables and wall adapters) should keep your devices reliably powered. If you’re heading to another country, you should also include an outlet adapter. And if you’re flying, there are a few TSA rules you should know about that apply to electronics and external batteries. <h2 id="jump-link-how-to-pick-a-power-bank-for-travel">How to pick a power bank for travel</h2> Over the past few years, I’ve tested dozens of portable batteries for Engadget’s guide to the <a href="https://www.engadget.com/computing/accessories/best-power-bank-143048526.html">best power banks</a> and I’ve brought a bunch with me on planes, trains and interminable automobile rides.

I also have a couple of smaller banks to grab when I don’t need quite so much charge. The three important features to look for when picking a portable charger to take on your travels are its capacity, weight and connections. <h3 id="jump-link-capacity">Capacity</h3> Most portable chargers list their capacity in milliamp hours (mAh). Anything less than 5,000mAh is pretty useless — it won’t even get a smartphone up to fifty percent. I recommend looking for a power bank with 10,000mAh or higher capacity. One thing to note is that there’s not a one-to-one correlation on capacity: a 10,000mAh power bank will not refill your smartphone’s 5,000mAh battery twice. Voltage conversions, heat loss and the operation of the battery all cut down on the amount of charge delivered. <h3 id="jump-link-weight">Weight</h3> This is directly related to capacity. Just about every 20,000mAh battery will be heavier than a 10,000mAh battery. If you’re really concerned with keeping down the pounds and ounces in your luggage, you might want to pick the smallest capacity you think you’ll need. That said, the largest TSA-compliant batteries are 27,000mAh models, which weigh between two and 2.5 pounds. That may or may not make a huge difference in your packing scheme. <h3 id="jump-link-connections">Connections</h3> The last thing to look for is the right connections. Every power bank I’ve tested has at least one USB-C port. Since you can get a USB-C cable with just about any connector at the other end, that should cover what you need. But if, for example, you have an older smartwatch charger with a USB Type-A connector, you’ll want to make sure your power bank has that slot. You’ll also want to remember to pack the right cables for each device. I’m seeing more banks with built-in cables, which is convenient, but you’ll probably still want to bring a couple extra cords just in case. <h2 id="jump-link-how-to-fly-with-charging-accessories">How to fly with charging accessories</h2> Current <a href="https://www.tsa.gov/travel/security-screening/whatcanibring/all?combine=batteries&page=1">TSA</a> and <a href="https://www.faa.gov/hazmat/packsafe/lithium-batteries">FAA</a> rules say that all spare batteries, including power banks, can only go in your carry-on luggage, not your checked bags. They must be rated at 100 watt-hours or lower, which in most batteries translates to roughly a 27,000mAh capacity. That capacity range covers most portable power chargers out there, since most manufacturers want their banks to fit within travel recommendations (larger batteries are often marketed as <a href="https://tech.yahoo.com/general/article/best-portable-power-station-under-250-154253015.html">portable power stations</a>). There’s no limit on the number of batteries you can carry, but they should be for your personal use and must be protected from damage. Items like fast chargers, wall adapters, cables and regular alkaline batteries (ie. AA and AAA cells) can fly in either your checked or carry-on luggage. Of course, as with all TSA regulations, the final determination of what you can and can’t bring with you lies with the agents themselves, but this advice follows the agency’s current guidelines. If you’re flying internationally, you’ll want to check the baggage policies of the airline and airport you’ll use for your return flight.
