As always, you'll need to be a Prime member to partake of the deals. Prime is Amazon's $139-per-year (or $14.99-per-month) subscription that provides free two-day shipping on all orders, as well as a ton of extras like the Kindle lending library and Prime Video streaming. See our rundown of the top Amazon Prime benefits to learn more.
The good news is that you may not need to pay for membership at all if you only want it long enough to take advantage of Amazon's big shopping extravaganza. Here are a few ways to score a short-term Prime membership and cash in on the savings.
Method 1: The standard 30-day free trial
If you've never tried Amazon Prime before, or if it's been a long time since you last tried it, then you may be eligible for a free 30-day trial. After the 30 days, Amazon will charge you for the membership—either $14.99 per month or $139 per year—so don't forget to cancel before the trial is up. (Set a calendar reminder if you have to!)
Figuring out if you're eligible is simple. Just sign in to your Amazon account and visit the Prime membership

In the Chrome Releases blog post, Krishna Govind provided the scant details that Google revealed about the zero-day vulnerability (CVE-2025-6554), which Google classifies as high risk. It's a classic issue that crops up practically every month: a type mix-up in the V8 JavaScript engine. The discoverer of the vulnerability is also no stranger: Clément Lecigne from Google's Threat Analysis Group (TAG), who has discovered zero-day vulnerabilities in Chrome several times before.
Lecigne discovered the problem on June 25th. Then, on June 26th, Google sent a configuration change to all Chrome installations on the Stable Channel of all platforms to mitigate the problem. The update now available should take care of the rest. A week ago, Google released the new major version of Chrome 138, which addressed 11 security flaws.
As a rule, Chrome updates itself automatically when a new version is available. You can manually initiate the update check using the menu and navigating to Help About Google Chrome. Go

In a note regarding the new update, Microsoft wrote: "We're introducing a new detection capability in Microsoft Defender for Office 365 to help protect your organization from a growing threat known as email bombing. This form of abuse floods mailboxes with high volumes of email to obscure important messages or overwhelm systems. The new ‘Mail Bombing' detection will automatically identify and block these attacks, helping security teams maintain visibility into real threats."
Mail Bombing Detection will be available via Microsoft Defender for Office 365 soon, with the update starting to roll out in late June and completing its rollout by late July. The new feature will be enabled by default, so email bombing should start going straight to the trash.

According to Windows Latest, the issues don't just stop at the popular productivity shortcut either. Other issues include mouse cursor lag, screen resolution issues, and difficulties adjusting volume.
KB5060829 is a preview update, which means it's optional to install and allows you to try out new features and improvements ahead of the general release. However, preview updates can have problems like this, so you shouldn't blindly install them on mission-critical PCs.
The update is supposed to be rolled out to all users in two weeks, so hopefully Microsoft fixes these issues in time. Until then, you should hold off on installing update KB5060829 to avoid these issues. Meanwhile, if you're affected, try rolling back the problematic update.
