Popular food truck not returning to Brimfield Flea Market’s July show


A staple at the Brimfield Flea Market will be missing from the July show, which begins Tuesday.

The food truck that serves the famous Pilgrim Sandwich isn’t at the show this summer, the owners announced on Facebook. But for a good reason.

“That is because they are celebrating their 35 wedding anniversary in France,” a Facebook post states.

Stephen Renaud, owner of Pilgrim Sandwich, stopped at Brimfield in 1996 with his wife to shop. He left with antiques and an idea to open his own food stand.

“At the time, all there was was carnival food like hamburgers, hot dogs and cotton candy. I don’t eat that so my wife said, ‘Well, you’re a chef, why don’t you come up with something healthy, an alternative?’” Renaud, from Northborough, told MassLive in 2014.

“We had humble beginnings in a pop-up tent and eventually graduated to this stand. We added the wraps and the breakfast and, the next thing you know, we’re a staple here.”

The Pilgrim Sandwich has turkey, stuffing and cranberry sauce on a bun with mayonnaise.

“We’ve been coming here for years and I always get a Pilgrim Sandwich. It’s kind of like Thanksgiving in a sandwich,” said Carolyn Kidd of West Virginia.

Others commented on Facebook that it’s their favorite food truck.

“The Pilgrim sandwich is a highlight of every Brimfield trip,” Janet Lambert wrote on Facebook.

More than 65 years after the first show, thousands of dealers and show-goers shop on 20 fields on more than a mile stretch in Brimfield, which help contribute millions of dollars in tourism to Massachusetts.

The flea market‘s July show is open until July 13.

It returns one more time this year from Sept. 2-7. And when it does, Pilgrim Sandwich will be back.

“Please don’t worry they will be back in September,” the Facebook post read. “Happy hunting!!”

UAE proptech Huspy raises $59M to scale in Europe

UAE proptech Huspy raises $59M to scale in Europe


If you walked into a Dubai bank to apply for a mortgage in 2020, chances are you’d spend months buried in paperwork or face a huge price discrepancy when it came to listings. Such experiences led Jad Antoun to start Huspy, a startup streamlining how people in the UAE buy homes digitally.

Over the past five years, the company has grown into one of the largest proptechs in the UAE, and has expanded into Spain, by providing digital tools for finding homes and obtaining mortgages.

Huspy just closed a $59 million Series B to double down on operations across the Middle East and expand its European presence, led by existing investor Balderton Capital and Peak XV.

In 2022, Huspy raised over $40 million in Series A and an extension from a who’s who of global investors, including Balderton Capital, Founders Fund, and Peak XV Partners (formerly Sequoia Capital India & SEA). 

Other investors include Exor Ventures, Turmeric Capital, BY Ventures, Dara Management, and KE Partners. The new capital will fuel Huspy’s continued growth in the UAE and Spain and support its launch in Saudi Arabia, Antoun told TechCrunch in an interview.

This investment is significant because proptech has been a tough sector over the past couple of years. Companies like Opendoor and Compass have struggled to maintain valuations and profitability amid higher U.S. interest rates. Many startups have also burned through cash and struggled.

Huspy has “built a repeatable and efficient playbook for city launches, and their pace of innovation — especially around AI tools for brokers and agents — continues to raise the bar for the entire industry,” said Rana Yared, general partner at Balderton Capital.

Antoun said Huspy he learned through his first market in the UAE how to target pain points in a country’s mortgage process. He struck partnerships with leading banks and introduced digital pre-approvals on a platform connecting brokers and borrowers.

Within three years, the company says it captured 30% of the UAE mortgage market (25% in Dubai, one of the world’s most active real estate markets). That traction, and the exclusive banking relationships it built as a result, became a springboard for expansion.

In 2022, it began scaling into Spain, a fragmented real estate market with over 100,000 registered agents, according to Antoun.

Rather than owning inventory like iBuyer models or operating as a traditional brokerage, Huspy runs a network-based model across the UAE and Spain. Freelance agents use the platform to access property leads from marketplaces like Property Finder and Idealista, while Huspy provides CRM tools, transaction support, and integrated mortgage products through its banking partners.

It’s a low-overhead approach that resembles Uber for real estate more than Zillow.

Antoun, previously on the investment team at Dubai-based early-stage VC Beco Capital, and deputy CEO Ziad Nassar, who leads Huspy’s European expansion, believe the company has found a repeatable model that will be hard to replicate: enter mid-sized cities with high transaction volume and low agent efficiency, build supply through marketplace partnerships, onboard top-performing agents onto the platform, and layer in mortgage distribution.

In under a year, Huspy claims to be one of the top three real estate companies in Valencia by transaction volume. It already operates in six cities across Spain, where it claims over 20x year-on-year growth.

“I think it’s going to be difficult for someone to compete on the mortgage product specifically across both markets,” said Antoun. “We’ve just been here longer, and in Spain, we have better efficiency.”

Antoun says the startup has helped over 25,000 people buy homes across its markets and has grown revenue more than 10x since 2022. The platform, which earns revenue through commissions and success fees, usually from real estate agents and banks, facilitates over $7 billion in transactions.

Over the next four years, the company plans to launch in most major cities across Europe and the Middle East, a region currently having its proptech moment, with another major player, Nawy, also raising a significant round this year. Huspy plans to operate in over 10 cities by the end of 2025.

Walmart Deals 2025 are live with a bunch of anti-Prime Day sales to shop now


Amazon Prime Day is usually met with competing sales from other retailers, and this year is no different. Walmart’s summer sale is back this year, competing with Prime Day and running for an extra two days. You can shop the sale at Walmart from July 8 through July 13, snagging discounts on all sorts of things including tech.

While Engadget covers all of the best Prime Day deals we can find, we also recognize that not everyone has a Prime membership — and many simply do not want to shop at Amazon. If you fall into either of those camps, you will be able to find some of the best Prime Day deals matched at Walmart. Most of these deals are available to everyone, too — no Walmart Plus membership required as of July 8. Here, we’ve collected the best Walmart Deals savings we could find, and we’ll continue to update this post throughout the event as we discover new discounts.

Also, we’d be remiss if we didn’t mention the Nintendo Switch 2. Not because it’s discounted at Walmart (that’s too good to be true, unfortunately), but Walmart+ members get exclusive access to a new drop of Switch 2 consoles for purchase at 7pm ET on July 7.

Apple MacBook Air (13-inch, M1) for $599 ($50 off): The M1 Air has been long gone from Apple’s own site, but it’s still a more than capable laptop for anyone looking for a solid, all-purpose machine. We still recommend springing for an M3 or M4 machine instead, but if you’re on a budget, this deal will be hard to beat.

Roku Express HD streaming device for $17 ($12 off): If you’re simply looking for an affordable streamer to upgrade an aging TV, the Roku Express HD could fit the bill. It plays HD-quality content and gives you access to every major streaming platform including HBO Max, Disney+, Prime Video and others. It’ll tuck away behind your set nicely and it supports headphone mode, which lets you connect headphones to the Roku mobile app for private listening and viewing from your TV.

Sony WH-1000XM5 headphones for $298 ($101 off): While the XM6 headphones are the latest and greatest, they only make small changes to the already stellar XM5. These were our top pick for the best wireless headphones for a long time before the XM6 launched earlier this year, and we still like them for their excellent sound quality, strong ANC, multi-device connectivity and good battery life.

Google TV Streamer 4K for $84 ($16 off): Our top favorite streaming device, the Google TV Streamer 4K is basically a souped-up Chromecast with 4K content support, an easy to use interface and a great remote control.

Hisense 75-inch U6H ULED 4K smart TV for $448 (36 percent off): This Quantum Dot TV can reach 600 nits at peak brightness across its 48 local dimming zones. It supports Dolby Vision and Atmos, HDMI 2.1 inputs for a better gaming experience and it has the Google Assistant built in for voice control.

Samsung 32-inch Smart Monitor M5 for $199 ($100 off): Not only will this be a good monitor for your home office setup, but it also acts as a full smart TV, too. Its interface gives you access to platforms like Netflix, Prime Video, YouTube and others, and it also comes with a SmartThings IoT hub built in so you can connect and control things like smart lights directly from the monitor.

Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 for $129 (47 percent off): While it’s an older model, we generally like Samsung Galaxy Watches and they’re arguably the best smartwatches for Samsung phone users. The Galaxy Watch 6 has good all-day activity tracking and sleep monitoring, plus heart rate tracking, personalized health insights and more.

Razer Kraken Hello Kitty & Friends Bluetooth headset for $47 (47 percent off): Razer makes excellent gaming accessories and this Hello Kitty & Friends version of the popular Kraken headset might be just what you were looking for to add more personality into your Twitch stream outfits. Aside from the cute design, it supports Bluetooth 5.0, comes with 40mm drivers and sports a beamforming microphone.

MSI Thin A15 gaming laptop (15.6-inch, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD) for $649 (37 percent off): Along with a Ryzen processor, this MSI gaming laptop sports a NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 GPU and a 144Hz screen, and it comes in at just about 4 pounds in weight.

PlayStation 5 Slim Astro Bot bundle for $453 ($106 off): This version of the console has a disc drive and comes with 1TB of storage, plus the ever-popular Astro Bot game.

Pixel 10 storage options and colors revealed in new leak

Pixel 10 storage options and colors revealed in new leak


“Pro” smartphones always seem to draw the short straw when it comes to colors, but Google is apparently making matters worse on the upcoming Pixel 10 Pro series by restricting the only actual color variant to only supporting 256GB of storage, and interestingly still also starting with 128GB of storage.

Droid-Life reports that, per “distributor data,” the Pixel 10 series will have some limitations when it comes to color choices and storage. The base Pixel 10 will support 128GB or 256GB of storage across all four of its colors, “Obsidian,” “Frost,” “Indigo,” and “Lemongrass,” but the Pixel 10 Pro series won’t.

Apparently, Pixel 10 Pro will still start at 128GB of storage and go on to offer 256GB, 512GB, and 1TB storage options. This alone is interesting, and also implies that Google isn’t upgrading to a faster storage tier from the existing UFS 3.1. Typically, anything higher (like UFS 4.0) will start at 256GB of storage.

Beyond that, Google will also be limiting color choices based on storage, and vice versa. “Obsidian,” “Porcelain,” and “Moonstone” will get 128GB, 256GB, and 512GB of storage, while “Obsidian” will also get access to the 1TB option. But the “Jade” color, i.e. the only real color in the whole lineup, will apparently be available solely in a 256GB tier.

Similarly, the “Jade” Pixel 9 Pro Fold only gets the 256GB and 512GB options where “Moonstone” adds a 1TB option.

This leak also potentially disproves the “Sterling” color name that was floating around earlier this year, but “Moonstone” still sounds like gray.

The full storage/color breakdown from Droid-Life follows:

Pixel 10

  • Obsidian: 128G / 256GB
  • Frost: 128G / 256GB
  • Indigo: 128G / 256GB
  • Lemongrass: 128G / 256GB

Pixel 10 Pro

  • Obsidian: 128GB / 256GB / 512GB / 1TB
  • Porcelain: 128GB / 256GB / 512GB
  • Moonstone: 128GB / 256GB / 512GB
  • Jade: 256GB

Pixel 10 Pro XL

  • Obsidian: 128GB / 256GB / 512GB / 1TB
  • Porcelain: 256GB / 512GB
  • Moonstone: 256GB / 512GB
  • Jade: 256GB

Pixel 10 Pro Fold

  • Moonstone: 256GB / 512GB / 1TB
  • Jade: 256GB / 512GB

Google’s Pixel 10 series is expected to launch in August.

Man killed in Worcester shooting remembered for being ‘the best dad to his boys’

Man killed in Worcester shooting remembered for being ‘the best dad to his boys’



A Worcester man who was shot and killed during an argument in an apartment complex in the city last month is being remembered for his devotion to family.

Jason Mayhew, 36, was killed by 26-year-old Enrique Antonio Canales-Martinez at their Southgate Street apartment building the evening of June 21, authorities said previously. Canales-Martinez pleaded not guilty to charges including armed assault with intent to murder in connection with Mayhew’s death during his arraignment in Worcester District Court.

Officers responded to the shooting at the apartment complex around 7:40 p.m. and found Mayhew lying on the sidewalk, Worcester police said previously. He was taken to a hospital and declared dead, and Canales-Martinez — who admitted to shooting Mayhew and cooperated with police — was arrested a short time later.

Jason L. Mayhew was born in Framingham on July 20, 1988, to Richard and Betsy Mayhew, according to his obituary. A former Wrentham resident, he was a graduate of King Philip High School.

Mayhew was a skilled heavy equipment operator who worked for several companies throughout his career, according to his obituary. He had a passion for trucks and machinery and took great pride in his work.

Mayhew also had “an adventurous spirit,” and “found joy in all outdoor activities,” according to his obituary. He and his fiancé, Ashley Durling, had just purchased a camper that they were working on restoring with the help of her sons when he died.

“Whether he was skydiving, scuba diving or simply fishing, he enjoyed the freedom and thrill that nature had to offer. He found great joy sharing his love of fishing with his two sons and his future stepsons,” his obituary reads.

Mayhew also enjoyed playing soccer with his two sons, Declan and Sawyer, according to his obituary. A lover of life in general, his interests were endless, but among them were big trucks, Jeeps, motorcycles, karaoke, Prudent Island zucchini muffins, outer space, puzzles, unicorns, the paranormal, true crime podcasts and animals — especially dogs.

“Jason was the most patient, compassionate, kind, accepting, adventure loving person there ever was. He was the best dad to his boys, and they knew he loved them endlessly,” his obituary reads. “All Jay ever wanted to do in life was be with Declan and Sawyer. There is no doubt that that is where he is spending all of his time now, watching over his two babies.”

Mayhew leaves behind his sons, fiancee, parents, sister, stepbrother, maternal and paternal grandparents and many other beloved relatives and friends, according to his obituary. In lieu of flowers, his family asks that donations be made to support his sons and fiancee via Venmo @InLovingMemoryofJay or that a check made out to the “Mayhew Boys” and sent to Dean Bank on Main Street in Franklin.

A celebration of Mayhew’s life is planned for Sunday, Sept. 21, from 12 p.m. to 4 p.m. at Novatos Bar and Grill in Norfolk, according to his obituary. Guests are encouraged to wear pink — his favorite color — to honor him.

ChatGPT is testing a mysterious new feature called ‘study together’


Some ChatGPT subscribers are reporting a new feature appearing in their drop-down list of available tools called “Study Together.”

The mode is apparently the chatbot’s way of becoming a better educational tool. Rather than providing answers to prompts, some say it asks more questions and requires the human to answer, like OpenAI’s answer to Google’s LearnLM. Some also wonder whether it will have a mode where more than one human can join the chat in a study group mode. OpenAI did not respond to our request for comment but, for what it’s worth, ChatGPT told us, “OpenAI hasn’t officially announced when or if Study Together will be available to all users — or if it will require ChatGPT Plus.”

The feature is interesting because ChatGPT has quickly become a mainstay in education in both helpful and not-so-helpful ways. Teachers are using it for things like lesson plans; students can use it like a tutor — or they can use it to write their papers for them. Some have even suggested that ChatGPT could be “killing” higher education. This could be a way for ChatGPT to encourage the good uses while discouraging “cheating.”

Galaxy Z Fold 7 will reportedly be the thinnest one yet


Thanks to new reporting from WinFuture‘s Roland Quandt, we have a slew of presumptive details and specs for the next generation of Samsung’s foldable phones. Reportedly lifted from official Samsung promotional materials, Quandt is reporting that the Galaxy Z Fold 7 will be the thinnest iteration yet, measuring just 8.9mm when folded and 4.2mm unfolded. He also claims it will be the lightest Z Fold so far, weighing just 216g.

Details reported by Quandy on the battery size, storage options and camera for the Z Flip 7 and Flip 7 FE line up confirmed much of what we are expecting Samsung to announce. Among the more interesting morsels of information is Quandt’s claim that the Flip 7 will feature a 4.1-inch cover screen, which is a fairly substantial bump from the 3.4-inch cover screen on the Flip 6. The Flip 7 is also reported to be 70 percent thinner than its predecessor while carrying a larger battery.

Not included in the leaks was any information about the Galaxy Z Fold Ultra that Samsung teased back in June. In a press release alluding to the new device, Samsung waxed poetic about AI integration into Galaxy hardware. With just a couple of days to go, it seems we’ll have to wait until the event to learn more.

Engadget will be liveblogging the Galaxy Unpacked event, which starts at 10AM ET on July 9.

Samsung’s smartwatch sales are falling ahead of Galaxy Watch 8

Samsung’s smartwatch sales are falling ahead of Galaxy Watch 8


As Samsung fans prepare for the launch of the Galaxy Watch 8 series, overall trends indicate that the company is failing to keep up with competing OEMs as they release new smartwatches.

A report by Counterpoint broke down a few aspects of the global smartwatch market in 2025. According to those findings, Samsung’s smartwatch sales have taken an 18% dive in Q1. That data represents a YoY loss in “previous-generation” smartwatch sales.

This comes as the company is preparing to launch its Galaxy Watch 8 smartwatch series, consisting of the Galaxy Watch 8 and Galaxy Watch 8 Classic. The launch also includes a new Galaxy Watch Ultra model, though little information is available.

The report also noted that Huawei and Xiaomi saw growth in smartwatch shipments. This would indicate that this isn’t a global decline in smartwatch sales and seems to be specific to Samsung. Global sales only dropped 2% YoY, with China seeing a 37% increase in Q1 2025.

There could be several reasons for the smartwatch sales drop leading up to the Galaxy Watch 8 series. Increasing prices can drive users away from purchasing new models, while the spec sheet for new devices doesn’t always offer massive jumps in performance. The Galaxy Watch 8 series, for instance, uses the same processor as the upcoming Galaxy Watch 8 models. Still, Samsung is continuously updating One UI with new features, even if they may not be free forever.

Samsung has also taken a strong hold for several watch generations as the ecosystem gets stronger and stronger, and Wear OS gets better. Still, there is a bit of an unknown as to what the release of the Galaxy Watch 8 sales will look like as the design isn’t quite hitting for some.

Samsung has reservations open now for the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Flip 7 series, with a $50 credit when you pre-order and a free entry for a chance to win $5,000. Samsung notes reservations are free, and there’s no obligation to actually buy a device if you sign up, but there’s no other time you can get that $50 credit.

Mass. State Police Sgt. who investigated Karen Read transferred out of district attorney’s office

Mass. State Police Sgt. who investigated Karen Read transferred out of district attorney’s office



Massachusetts State Police Sgt. Yuriy Bukhenik, one of the lead investigators in the Karen Read case, was transferred out of the Norfolk district attorney’s office on Sunday, the agency confirmed.

Bukhenik was transferred to the Division of Field Services at the South Boston barracks, Tim McGurik, a spokesman for state police, confirmed to MassLive.

The decision to transfer Bukhenik comes just weeks after Read was acquitted on all charges connected to the death of her boyfriend, Boston Police officer John O’Keefe. He is the second trooper involved in the case to be transferred out of the district attorney’s office: Det. Lt. Brian Tully, who supervised the investigative unit, was moved last November.

In September, Bukhenik forfeited five vacation days after state police found he violated two rules and regulations related to his supervision of Michael Proctor, the now-fired trooper who was the other lead investigator in the case. Bukhenik was on a text message conversation where Proctor joked about going through Read’s cell phone for nudes.

Bukhenik was found to have failed to “properly supervise and/or counsel a subordinate for sending inappropriate correspondence regarding an ongoing investigation.” State police also determined Bukhenik failed to properly utilize the department’s Employee Evaluation System by failing to “properly document the inefficiencies of a subordinate.”

At both Read trials, Bukhenik was subject to withering cross-examination about the quality of the investigation into O’Keefe’s death. Read’s defense criticized the police investigation throughout both trials and claimed Proctor planted evidence as part of an effort to frame her.

Bukhenik defended the integrity of the investigation and of Proctor’s conduct on the stand.

State police did not immediately explain the decision to transfer Bukhenik.
