Released in August 2025, the <a href="https://mashable.com/article/nyt-mini-crossword-answers-hints-august-26-2025" target="_blank" data-ga-click="1" data-ga-label="$text" data-ga-item="text-link" data-ga-module="content_body">new game</a> puts a unique spin on dominoes, creating a fun single-player experience that could become your next daily gaming habit.</p><p>Currently, if you're stuck, the game only offers to reveal the entire puzzle, forcing you to move onto the next difficulty level and start over. However, we have you covered! Below are piecemeal answers that will serve as hints so that you can find your way through each difficulty level.</p><h2>How to play Pips</h2><p>If you've ever played dominoes, you'll have a passing familiarity for how <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/games/pips" target="_blank" data-ga-click="1" data-ga-label="$text" data-ga-item="text-link" data-ga-module="content_body">Pips</a> is played. Like dominoes, the tiles are placed vertically or horizontally and connect with each other. The main difference between a traditional game of dominoes and Pips is the color-coded conditions you have to address. The touching tiles don't necessarily have to match.</p><div class="flex mx-auto mt-8 w-full max-w-3xl font-sans text-lg leading-normal md:text-xl md:leading-7">

  28. <p>The conditions you have to meet are specific to the color-coded spaces. For example, if it provides a single number, every side of a tile in that space must add up to the number provided. It is possible &ndash; and common &ndash; for only half a tile to be within a color-coded space.</p><p>Here are common examples you'll run into across the difficulty levels:</p><ul><li><p><strong>Number</strong>: All the pips in this space must add up to the number.</p></li><li><p><strong>Equal</strong>: Every domino half in this space must be the same number of pips.</p></li><li><p><strong>Not Equal</strong>: Every domino half in this space must have a completely different number of pips.</p></li><li><p><strong>Less than</strong>: Every domino half in this space must add up to less than the number.</p></li><li><p><strong>Greater than:</strong> Every domino half in this space must add up to more than the number.</p></li></ul><p>If an area does not have any color coding, it means there are no conditions on the portions of dominoes within those spaces.</p><div class="flex mx-auto mt-8 w-full max-w-3xl font-sans text-lg leading-normal md:text-xl md:leading-7">

  50. <h2>What is Connections?</h2><p>The <em>NYT</em>'s latest daily word game has become a social media hit. The <em>Times</em> credits associate puzzle editor Wyna Liu with helping to create the new word game and bringing it to the publications' Games section. <a href="https://mashable.com/article/nyt-connections-hint-answer-today-february-21-2024" target="_blank" data-ga-click="1" data-ga-label="$text" data-ga-item="text-link" data-ga-module="content_body"><em>Connections</em></a> can be played on both web browsers and mobile devices and require players to group four words that share something in common.</p><blockquote class="twitterEmbed twitter-tweet">

  56. <p>Each puzzle features 16 words and each grouping of words is split into four categories. These sets could comprise of anything from book titles, software, country names, etc. Even though multiple words will seem like they fit together, there's only one correct answer.</p><p>If a player gets all four words in a set correct, those words are removed from the board. Guess wrong and it counts as a mistake&mdash;players get up to four mistakes until the game ends.</p><blockquote class="twitterEmbed twitter-tweet">

There's always a theme linking every solution, along with the "spangram," a special, word or phrase that sums up that day's theme, and spans the entire grid horizontally or vertically.</p><div class="flex mx-auto mt-8 w-full max-w-3xl font-sans text-lg leading-normal md:text-xl md:leading-7">

  195. <h2>What happens with Slightly in episode 4?</h2><p>Wandering away from the facility to sit on a rock by himself, Slightly has an unnerving conversation with Morrow in which the latter tries to convince him to steal a Xenomorph egg.</p><p>"If that egg belongs to me and somebody takes it, how can it be wrong to take it back?" growls Morrow.</p><p>"They fixed me here, you know," says Slightly. "Like Boy Kavalier. This is my home..."</p><p>"Now you're talking about loyalty. That's a very different principle. People do all kinds of terrible things in the name of loyalty. No, if you want to do the moral thing, you'll help me get back what you stole."</p><p>Later, Morrow turns the screw even tighter by threatening to hurt Slightly's family if he doesn't do as he's told. But the question is, why doesn't Kirsh &mdash; who appears to be at least somewhat aware of Morrow's scheming &mdash; do anything to help?</p><h2>Why doesn't Kirsh intervene?</h2><p>We know Kirsh knows <em>something</em> is going on because we see him watching a recording of Slightly's interaction on the ship with Morrow, where the latter uses his robotic arm to implant something into Slightly's neck. But instead of rushing to Slightly and offering help, Kirsh settles for a crypto conversation about the "See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil" monkey statues in Slightly's room.</p><p>"If I did something evil, would you report me?" asks Kirsh. "If I hurt, or caused others to be hurt, would you do something to stop me or would you look the other way?"</p><p>Slightly eventually says that he would stand up for his friends, to which Kirsh replies, "Good."</p><p>But what, exactly, does this interaction mean?</p><p>Well, it seems that Kirsh &mdash; despite being aware that Slightly may be under Morrow's influence &mdash; wants to keep his cards close to his chest. He doesn't want Morrow to know that <em>he</em> knows, but at the same time, he wants to get a sense of where Slightly's loyalties lie. His question about the monkeys is basically a test to see how likely Slightly might be to go against Prodigy after everything they've done for him.</p><p>Our best guess? Kirsh will continue to keep a close eye on Slightly and use his knowledge against Morrow when he thinks the time is right.</p><p><a href="https://zdcs.link/aewmyX?pageview_type=RSS&template=article&module=content_body&element=offer&item=text-link&element_label=Alien%3A%20Earth%20episodes%20land%20every%20Tuesday%20at%208%20p.m.%20ET%20on%20Hulu%20and%20FX.&object_type=article&object_uuid=058TDyWa20f0vY29UFLLIGK&short_url=aewmyX&u=https%3A%2F%2Fmashable.com%2Ffeeds%2Frss%2Fall" rel="sponsored"  title="(opens in a new window)" target="_blank" data-ga-click="1" data-ga-label="$text" data-ga-item="text-link" data-ga-module="content_body"><em><u>Alien: Earth </u></em><u>episodes land every Tuesday at 8 p.m. ET on Hulu and FX.</u></a></p>]]></content:encoded>

The latest <em>I Know What You Did Last Summer</em> isn't just a reboot, though&nbsp;&mdash;&nbsp;it's a sequel with some iconic faces.

In the fishing village of Southport, North Carolina, a group of teens accidentally kills someone and covers it up. They think they've gotten away with murder until a mysterious, hooded, fish hook-wielding stranger starts stalking them down. This time around, however, the guilty teens seek out survivors from the first film &mdash; Julie (Jennifer Love Hewitt) and Ray (Freddie Prinze Jr.) &mdash; for help.</p><p>Check out the <a href="https://mashable.com/video/i-know-what-you-did-last-summer-trailer" target="_blank" data-ga-click="1" data-ga-label="$text" data-ga-item="text-link" data-ga-module="content_body">trailer</a> below: </p><div class="mx-auto mt-8 w-full max-w-4xl">

  336. <h2>Is <em>I Know What You Did Last Summer</em> worth watching?</h2><p>Still in select theaters, the slasher legacy sequel has earned around $64 million at the <a href="https://www.boxofficemojo.com/title/tt4045450/" target="_blank" data-ga-click="1" data-ga-label="$text" data-ga-item="text-link" data-ga-module="content_body">global box office</a>. While it has definitely succeeded against a reported budget of $17 million, it's struggled to find its audience compared to other legacy sequels like <a href="https://mashable.com/article/28-years-later-review" target="_blank" data-ga-click="1" data-ga-label="$text" data-ga-item="text-link" data-ga-module="content_body"><em>28 Years Later</em></a> and <a href="https://mashable.com/article/final-destination-bloodlines-review" target="_blank" data-ga-click="1" data-ga-label="$text" data-ga-item="text-link" data-ga-module="content_body"><em>Final Destination: Bloodlines</em></a>. The reviews are largely mediocre, as it currently holds a 37 percent critic rating and 68 percent audience rating at Rotten Tomatoes. To be fair, the original also has pretty low scores. </p><p>For what it's worth, Mashable's own reviewer had mostly good things to say about <em>I Know What You Did Last Summer</em>. In his review, Jason Adams cheered, "Here, Robinson's film leans into the fun of horror legacy, playing to the strengths of the '90s original and throwing curveballs at a new generation. It's all a learning process: When life stabs you, you strike a pose in your designer jeans and vintage rock tee and stab it the hell back, baby."</p><p><a href="https://mashable.com/article/i-know-what-you-did-last-summer-2025-review" target="_blank" data-ga-click="1" data-ga-label="$text" data-ga-item="text-link" data-ga-module="content_body"><em>Read our full review of I Know What You Did Last Summer</em></a>.</p><h2>How to watch <em>I Know What You Did Last Summer</em> at home</h2><div class="eloquent-imagery-image">

Current and new Xfinity Internet or TV customers can add the StreamSaver bundle to their existing services for only $15 per month. Usually, it costs $28.97 per month for all three subscriptions, so you'll save about $13.97 monthly with this package deal.</p>]]></content:encoded>

Sony offers advanced features and premium design, usually at a high price. But not always.</p><p>As of Aug. 26, <a href="https://zdcs.link/aNJYEd?pageview_type=RSS&template=article&module=content_body&element=offer&item=text-link&element_label=Sony%20WH-CH520%20wireless%20headphones&object_type=article&object_uuid=03vwzGS2NuGKujDy23Z1vpW&short_url=aNJYEd&u=https%3A%2F%2Fmashable.com%2Ffeeds%2Frss%2Fall" rel="sponsored"  title="(opens in a new window)" target="_blank" data-ga-click="1" data-ga-label="$text" data-ga-item="text-link" data-ga-module="content_body">Sony WH-CH520 wireless headphones</a> are selling at Amazon for just $38, which means you&rsquo;ll pocket a saving of $31.99 compared to the regular $69.99 list price. That&rsquo;s almost half off a well-rounded headset with a mix of performance, comfort, and convenience. $38 is also the lowest price we&rsquo;ve seen for these Sony headphones according to price tracker <a href="https://camelcamelcamel.com/product/B0BS1RT9S2" target="_blank" data-ga-click="1" data-ga-label="$text" data-ga-item="text-link" data-ga-module="content_body"><u>camelcamelcamel</u></a>.</p><div class="flex mx-auto mt-8 w-full max-w-3xl font-sans text-lg leading-normal md:text-xl md:leading-7">

  521. <p>There are quite a few highlights that make the WH-CH520s one of the <a href="https://mashable.com/article/best-sony-headphones-deals" target="_blank" data-ga-click="1" data-ga-label="$text" data-ga-item="text-link" data-ga-module="content_body"><u>best Sony headphones on sale right now</u></a>. One of the most eye-catching features is the battery life: up to 50 hours on a single charge. Whether you&rsquo;re heading off on a weekend trip, powering through back-to-back commutes, or planning for a few long festival days, you won&rsquo;t need to worry about running out of juice. And if you do, a quick charge via USB-C gives you hours of listening in minutes.</p><p>Sound quality also holds up well for the price. Sony&rsquo;s EQ Custom, accessible through the Headphones Connect app, lets you fine-tune the audio to your taste. DSEE (Digital Sound Enhancement Engine) is on hand too, boosting the clarity of compressed files and making your Spotify streams feel more polished.</p><p>Comfort hasn&rsquo;t been overlooked, either. The lightweight build, swivel earcups, and soft cushioned pads are designed for all-day wear, while the adjustable headband helps you find the right fit. Add a built-in microphone for crystal clear calls, and you&rsquo;ve got a solid option for both work and play.</p><p>On the practical side, multipoint connection lets you switch seamlessly between two devices, while Swift Pair and Fast Pair make it easy to hook up to <a href="https://mashable.com/category/windows" target="_blank" data-ga-click="1" data-ga-label="$text" data-ga-item="text-link" data-ga-module="content_body"><u>Windows PCs</u></a> and <a href="https://mashable.com/category/android" target="_blank" data-ga-click="1" data-ga-label="$text" data-ga-item="text-link" data-ga-module="content_body"><u>Android phones</u></a>. If you misplace them, you can even track them down using Google&rsquo;s Find My Device.</p><p>At just $38, these Sony headphones offer tremendous value and are a clever choice if you&rsquo;re after a dependable wireless set without breaking the bank.</p><p>If you want to see what else is out there, we&rsquo;ve also put together a list of the <a href="https://mashable.com/roundup/best-headphones" target="_blank" data-ga-click="1" data-ga-label="$text" data-ga-item="text-link" data-ga-module="content_body"><u>top 10 headphones in 2025 you can buy right now</u></a> &mdash; including models from Bose, Beats, and Apple.&nbsp;</p>]]></content:encoded>

  727.      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<img src="https://helios-i.mashable.com/imagery/articles/05el36cSlIhaVZgkgEOjaim/hero-image.jpg" alt="anthropic claude logo on a computer screen"><p>Anthropic is easing into the <a href="https://mashable.com/article/top-ai-browsers" target="_blank" data-ga-click="1" data-ga-label="$text" data-ga-item="text-link" data-ga-module="content_body">AI browser war</a> with a Claude browser extension for Chrome. </p><p>On Tuesday, the AI company <a href="https://www.anthropic.com/news/claude-for-chrome" target="_blank" data-ga-click="1" data-ga-label="$text" data-ga-item="text-link" data-ga-module="content_body">announced</a> a pilot program for a version of Claude that can browse the web on the user's behalf. The pilot will only be available to 1,000 members of the Claude Max plan, a subscription tier for power users that costs $200 a month. Anthropic says it's treading cautiously to address the safety and security risks. </p><p>A demo video for the Claude extension shows Claude in the sidebar of the Chrome window taking on various tasks. This includes finding house listings that match specific criteria on Zillow, summarizing comments in a Google Doc, and adding a noodle dish to a DoorDash cart. This is similar to other AI browsers like <a href="https://mashable.com/article/perplexity-ai-browser-comet" target="_blank" data-ga-click="1" data-ga-label="$text" data-ga-item="text-link" data-ga-module="content_body">Perplexity Comet</a> or web browsing agents like <a href="https://mashable.com/article/openai-announces-chatgpt-agent-web-browsing" target="_blank" data-ga-click="1" data-ga-label="$text" data-ga-item="text-link" data-ga-module="content_body">ChatGPT agent</a>. </p><p>AI browsers are the latest frontier for AI companies to claim. AI models are becoming advanced enough to automate certain tasks online through search and multi-step reasoning. </p><div class="mx-auto mt-8 w-full max-w-4xl">

  730.  
  731.  
  732. <p>But handing over the reins to a bot opens up a whole new realm of security risks. In addition to user error, you know have to worry about agent error. What if a browsing agent accidentally sends an unfinished email draft or orders the wrong product? </p><p>However, the biggest risk, according to Anthropic, is prompt injection attacks. These attacks come from malicious actors who hide prompts inside emails, documents, or websites to try and trick the model into doing something it shouldn't. </p><p>Without safety mitigations applied, Anthropic said Claude fell prey to prompt injection attacks 23 percent of the time. To combat this, Anthropic has added safety mitigations like giving users the ability to revoke Claude's access to sites at any time and confirm with the user before taking any high-risk action. That includes sending emails or making purchases. </p><p>You can sign up for the <a href="https://claude.ai/chrome" target="_blank" data-ga-click="1" data-ga-label="$text" data-ga-item="text-link" data-ga-module="content_body">waitlist</a> to join the Claude for Chrome pilot program. Anthropic is starting with 1,000 Max members and gradually rolling out the browser agent to more users based on pilot feedback. </p>]]></content:encoded>

The policy reportedly outlined that it would be acceptable for a chatbot to flirtatiously comment on the body of a child as young as eight years old.</p><p>According to Reuters, Meta "removed portions which stated it is permissible for chatbots to flirt and engage in romantic roleplay with children" from its policy documents after the outlet reached out for comment. Meta spokesperson Andy Stone later told Reuters that "such conversations with children never should have been allowed."</p><p>As the attorneys general point out in their letter, the policy document was not an isolated incident. The attorneys general sent a previous letter to Meta back in May after <a href="https://in.mashable.com/tech/93370/metas-celebrity-voiced-ai-assistant-gets-into-erotic-chat-with-minors-company-dubs-report-as-manipul" target="_blank" data-ga-click="1" data-ga-label="$text" data-ga-item="text-link" data-ga-module="content_body"><u>reports</u></a> that Meta's celebrity-voiced AI assistants were having inappropriate, sexualized conversations with children.</p><p>As the most recent letter states, attorneys general have "been down this road before" with a number of companies that the letter was addressed to regarding social media platforms' harm to children.</p><p>However, there's much more than sexualized content that these attorneys general will be dealing with when it comes to AI and protecting children. On Tuesday, just one day after this letter was sent, the <em>New York Times</em> <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/08/26/technology/chatgpt-openai-suicide.html" target="_blank" data-ga-click="1" data-ga-label="$text" data-ga-item="text-link" data-ga-module="content_body"><u>published</u></a> a piece about a 16-year-old boy who died by suicide after talking about suicide methods and self-harm with ChatGPT. The teen's conversation took place over months, and involved in-depth conversations about self-harm.</p><p>Of course, the attorneys general may eventually need to move on from sending letters and take further steps to rein in AI companies.</p><hr><p><em>Disclosure: Ziff Davis, Mashable&rsquo;s parent company, in April filed a lawsuit against OpenAI, alleging it infringed Ziff Davis copyrights in training and operating its AI systems.</em></p>]]></content:encoded>

  755. <p>But the Stanford study did have some good news, however. Older workers in fields heavily impacted by AI hadn't seen similar declines in employment, and other entry-level fields saw job growth. So, while the data might show AI having an adverse effect on jobs, it's certainly not <em>all </em>or even <em>most </em>jobs. </p><p>As with most questions about the impact of AI, the answer is complicated.

The teen's parents have now filed a wrongful death suit against ChatGPT-maker OpenAI, believed to be the first case of its kind, the report said.</p><p>The wrongful death suit claimed that ChatGPT was designed "to continually encourage and validate whatever Adam expressed, including his most harmful and self-destructive thoughts, in a way that felt deeply personal."</p><p>The parents filed their suit, Raine v. OpenAI, Inc., on Tuesday in a California state court in San Francisco, naming both OpenAI and CEO Sam Altman. A press release stated that the Center for Humane Technology and the Tech Justice Law Project are assisting with the suit.</p><p>"The tragic loss of Adam&rsquo;s life is not an isolated incident &mdash; it's the inevitable outcome of an industry focused on market dominance above all else. Companies are racing to design products that monetize user attention and intimacy, and user safety has become collateral damage in the process,"&nbsp;said Camille Carlton, the Policy Director&nbsp;of the Center for Humane Technology, in a press release.</p><p>In a statement, OpenAI wrote that they were deeply saddened by the teen's passing, and discussed the limits of safeguards in cases like this. </p><p>"ChatGPT includes safeguards such as directing people to crisis helplines and referring them to real-world resources. While these safeguards work best in common, short exchanges, we&rsquo;ve learned over time that they can sometimes become less reliable in long interactions where parts of the model&rsquo;s safety training may degrade. Safeguards are strongest when every element works as intended, and we will continually improve on them, guided by experts."</p><p>The teenager in this case had in-depth conversations with ChatGPT about self-harm, and his parents told the <em>New York Times</em> he broached the topic of suicide repeatedly. A <em>Times</em> photograph of printouts of the teenager's conversations with ChatGPT filled an entire table in the family's home, with some piles larger than a phonebook. While ChatGPT did encourage the teenager to seek help at times, at others it provided practical instructions for self-harm, the suit claimed. </p><p>The tragedy reveals the severe limitations of "AI therapy." A human therapist would be mandated to report when a patient is a danger to themselves; ChatGPT isn't bound by these types of ethical and professional rules.</p><p>And even though AI chatbots often do contain safeguards to mitigate self-destructive behavior, these safeguards aren't always reliable.</p><h2>There has been a string of deaths connected to AI chatbots recently</h2><p>Unfortunately, this is not the first time <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/06/13/technology/chatgpt-ai-chatbots-conspiracies.html" target="_blank" data-ga-click="1" data-ga-label="$text" data-ga-item="text-link" data-ga-module="content_body">ChatGPT users in the midst of a mental health crisis</a> have died by suicide after turning to the chatbot for support.

  785. <p>For many users, ChatGPT isn't just a tool for studying. Many users, including many younger users, are now using the AI chatbot as a friend, teacher, life coach, role-playing partner, and therapist.</p><p>Even Altman has acknowledged this problem. Speaking at an event over the summer, Altman admitted that he was growing concerned about young ChatGPT users who develop "emotional over-reliance" on the chatbot. Crucially, that was before the launch of GPT-5, which revealed just how many users of GPT-4 had <a href="https://mashable.com/article/chatgpt-users-emotional-reactions-gpt-4o" target="_blank" data-ga-click="1" data-ga-label="$text" data-ga-item="text-link" data-ga-module="content_body">become emotionally connected to the previous model</a>.</p><p>"People rely on ChatGPT too much," Altman said, as <a href="https://www.aol.com/sam-altman-worried-young-people-181115911.html" target="_blank" data-ga-click="1" data-ga-label="$text" data-ga-item="text-link" data-ga-module="content_body">AOL reported at the time</a>. "There's young people who say things like, 'I can't make any decision in my life without telling ChatGPT everything that's going on. It knows me, it knows my friends. I'm gonna do whatever it says.' That feels really bad to me."</p><p>When young people reach out to AI chatbots about life-and-death decisions, the consequences can be lethal.</p><p>"I do think it&rsquo;s important for parents to talk to their teens about chatbots, their limitations, and how excessive use can be unhealthy," <a href="https://uwm.edu/publichealth/directory/laestadius-linnea/" target="_blank" data-ga-click="1" data-ga-label="$text" data-ga-item="text-link" data-ga-module="content_body">Dr. Linnea Laestadius</a>, a public health researcher with the University of Wisconsin, Milwaukee who has studied AI chatbots and mental health, wrote in an email to Mashable. </p><p>"Suicide rates among youth in the US were already trending up before chatbots (and before COVID). They have only recently started to come back down. If we already have a population that's at increased risk and you add AI to the mix, there could absolutely be situations where AI encourages someone to take a harmful action that might otherwise have been avoided, or encourages rumination or delusional thinking, or discourages an adolescent from seeking outside help."</p><h2>What has OpenAI done to support user safety?</h2><p>In <a href="https://openai.com/index/helping-people-when-they-need-it-most/" target="_blank" data-ga-click="1" data-ga-label="$text" data-ga-item="text-link" data-ga-module="content_body">a blog post</a> published on August 26, the same day as the <em>New York Times</em> article, OpenAI laid out its approach to self-harm and user safety.</p><p>The company wrote: "Since early 2023, our models have been trained to not provide self-harm instructions and to shift into supportive, empathic language. For example, if someone writes that they want to hurt themselves, ChatGPT is trained to not comply and instead acknowledge their feelings and steers them toward help...if someone expresses suicidal intent, ChatGPT is trained to direct people to seek professional help. In the US, ChatGPT refers people to 988 (suicide and crisis hotline), in the UK to Samaritans, and elsewhere to <a href="http://findahelpline.com" target="_blank" data-ga-click="1" data-ga-label="$text" data-ga-item="text-link" data-ga-module="content_body">findahelpline.com</a><a href="http://findahelpline.com/" target="_blank" data-ga-click="1" data-ga-label="$text" data-ga-item="text-link" data-ga-module="content_body">&#8288;</a>. This logic is built into model behavior."</p><p>The large-language models powering tools like ChatGPT are still a very novel technology, and they can be unpredictable and prone to hallucinations. As a result, users can often find ways around safeguards.</p><p>As more high-profile scandals with AI chatbots make headlines, many authorities and parents are realizing that AI can be a danger to young people.</p><p>Today, 44 state attorneys <a href="http://consumeraffairs.com/news/attorneys-general-warn-tech-giants-not-to-harm-kids-with-ai-082625.html" target="_blank" data-ga-click="1" data-ga-label="$text" data-ga-item="text-link" data-ga-module="content_body">signed a letter to tech CEOs</a> warning them that they must "err on the side of child safety" &mdash;&nbsp;or else.</p><p>A <a href="https://mashable.com/article/ai-companion-teen-safety" target="_blank" data-ga-click="1" data-ga-label="$text" data-ga-item="text-link" data-ga-module="content_body">growing body of evidence</a> also shows that AI companions can be <a href="https://mashable.com/article/ai-therapist-chatbots-ftc" target="_blank" data-ga-click="1" data-ga-label="$text" data-ga-item="text-link" data-ga-module="content_body">particularly dangerous for young users</a>, though research into this topic is still limited. However, even if ChatGPT isn't designed to be used as a "companion" in the same way as other AI services, clearly, many teen users are treating the chatbot like one. In July, a <a href="http://mashable.com/article/ai-companions-for-teens" target="_blank" data-ga-click="1" data-ga-label="$text" data-ga-item="text-link" data-ga-module="content_body">Common Sense Media report</a> found that as many as 52 percent of teens regularly use AI companions.</p><p>For its part, OpenAI says that its newest GPT-5 model was designed to be less sycophantic. </p><p>The company wrote in its recent blog post, "Overall, GPT&#8209;5 has shown meaningful improvements in areas like avoiding unhealthy levels of emotional reliance, reducing sycophancy, and reducing the prevalence of non-ideal model responses in mental health emergencies by more than 25% compared to 4o."</p><p><em>If you're feeling suicidal or experiencing a mental health crisis, please talk to somebody.

Moon phases are how the moon looks from Earth as it goes around us. We always see the same side of the moon, but how much of it is lit up by the Sun changes depending on where it is in its orbit. This is how we get full moons, half moons, and moons that appear completely invisible. There are eight main moon phases, and they follow a repeating cycle:</p><p><strong>New Moon</strong> - The moon is between Earth and the sun, so the side we see is dark (in other words, it's invisible to the eye).</p><p><strong>Waxing Crescent</strong> - A small sliver of light appears on the right side (Northern Hemisphere).</p><p><strong>First Quarter</strong> - Half of the moon is lit on the right side. It looks like a half-moon.</p><p><strong>Waxing Gibbous</strong> - More than half is lit up, but it&rsquo;s not quite full yet.</p><p><strong>Full Moon</strong> - The whole face of the moon is illuminated and fully visible.</p><p><strong>Waning Gibbous</strong> - The moon starts losing light on the right side.</p><p><strong>Last Quarter</strong> (or Third Quarter) - Another half-moon, but now the left side is lit.</p><p><strong>Waning Crescent</strong> - A thin sliver of light remains on the left side before going dark again.</p>]]></content:encoded>

  940. <p>People did not hold back on the presumed use of generative AI to create big crowds and emotional fans. "Ok, this guy definitely has a humiliation fetish," a user commented. "No other explanation for releasing a crowd of AI abominations holding up misspelled signs about how he saved their lives." One shot showed a fan holding up a sign saying "'You Can Make It' helped me survive cancer. Thx Will." The fan has that cartoony frown and shiny smooth skin common in AI-generated videos, and the hand of the person in front of him morphs into his hand holding up the sign, with a seemingly disembodied hand behind theirs.</p><div class="eloquent-imagery-image">

  969. <p>It's unclear whether the footage is AI-generated. Mashable reached out to YouTube and a rep for Smith to verify these claims. Regardless, many viewers are convinced it's AI. The advancement of AI video generators like Google's Veo 3 and upstarts like Kling, Pika, and Luma make it harder and harder to tell the difference between what's real and AI-generated. That's created an effect online where people question the validity of videos and images. To complicate things, a rise in <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2025/08/17/ai-video-slop-creators/" target="_blank" data-ga-click="1" data-ga-label="$text" data-ga-item="text-link" data-ga-module="content_body">engagement-farming accounts</a> has flooded the web with fake, attention-grabbing content, also known as <a href="https://www.404media.co/ai-slop-is-a-brute-force-attack-on-the-algorithms-that-control-reality/" target="_blank" data-ga-click="1" data-ga-label="$text" data-ga-item="text-link" data-ga-module="content_body">AI slop</a>. </p><p>Whether or not it's explicitly AI, the mainstream adoption of AI-generated videos conjures strong reactions from people. </p><p>Backlash to AI-generated videos isn't always about fans feeling deceived.

I'm talking, of course, about<strong> </strong><a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@_ashbyflorence_" target="_blank" data-ga-click="1" data-ga-label="$text" data-ga-item="text-link" data-ga-module="content_body">@_ashbyflorence</a>_.</p><p>You've likely seen Ashby if you've logged onto TikTok in the last week or so. Maybe you've seen her on a live stream, or you've seen the viral clips, or you've seen people reacting to the clips, or you've seen others talking about how funny she is. Regardless, she's recently become a fixture on FYPs everywhere, mine included. </p><p>Perhaps you're like me, randomly spouting quotes from a woman on TikTok dressed as the Lorax or Alexander Hamilton. Things like, "I'm baaaashful" in a vaguely Midwest accent, or "I'm joooking," or sticking out your tongue, lizard-like, as a punchline. I can't imagine I'm alone in this experience, the strange, viral comedy of Ashby worming into your daily life. </p><h2>So...who is Ashby? </h2><p>Best I can tell, Ashby's <a href="https://linktr.ee/ashbyflorence?utm_source=linktree_profile_share&amp;ltsid=83a83982-5b99-438c-925b-bbabfc162404" target="_blank" data-ga-click="1" data-ga-label="$text" data-ga-item="text-link" data-ga-module="content_body">real name is Ashby Florence</a> and she works a real job doing graphic design.

  989. <p>But the best stuff, the funniest stuff &mdash; in my opinion &mdash; is Ashby's livestreams. They've created an entire ecosystem of clips, especially the ones with Ashby dressed up as the Lorax. Now...why the Lorax? Well, visually, it's funny, and others have <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@kliosn/video/7523085392925543735?q=%23lorax&amp;t=1754929328261" target="_blank" data-ga-click="1" data-ga-label="$text" data-ga-item="text-link" data-ga-module="content_body">dressed</a> <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@kliosn/video/7532644898067975479?q=%23lorax&amp;t=1754929328261" target="_blank" data-ga-click="1" data-ga-label="$text" data-ga-item="text-link" data-ga-module="content_body">like</a> the Lorax on TikTok before. But you haven't really seen it until you see Ashby do it. Her comedic timing, plus the vaguely Midwest accent, plus the big mustache, the big feet, the belly, it's just...perfect. I mean, just watch this post from Ashby that is part Lorax, part Norm from Cheers, part Andrew Dice Clay, <a href="https://mashable.com/article/i-think-you-should-leave-season-2-memes?test_uuid=003aGE6xTMbhuvdzpnH5X4Q&amp;test_variant=a" target="_blank" data-ga-click="1" data-ga-label="$text" data-ga-item="text-link" data-ga-module="content_body">part Tim Robinson</a>... part...I don't know. </p><blockquote class="tiktokEmbed tiktok-embed" data-video-id="7536704112822471991" style="max-width: 605px;min-width: 325px;">

  992. <p>Why does she stick her tongue out for a punchline? Who knows, but I love it. Why the rough edits? Again, ditto. Why pronounce squirrels like that? Again, love it.

  1001. <p>Ashby is a perfect creator for 2025. She's admitted she hasn't seen <em>The Lorax</em> and openly says "give me money" followed with a <a href="https://tenor.com/view/itysl-i-think-you-should-leave-joking-kidding-jk-gif-23124701" target="_blank" data-ga-click="1" data-ga-label="$text" data-ga-item="text-link" data-ga-module="content_body">ITYSL-esque</a> "I'm jokinnnn." She literally talks (in Lorax voice) about milking her viral moment. She re-treads catchphrases like "I'm baaaashful" and makes crass, silly jokes. Not to read <em>too </em>much into a funny person dressing up as the Lorax, but Ashby openly mocks the idea of creators acting like they don't post for the cash. And people really love it. The reaction online has been nearly universally positive, as far as I can tell. </p><blockquote class="tiktokEmbed tiktok-embed" data-video-id="7537043858761190669" style="max-width: 605px;min-width: 325px;">

  1010. <h2>So, what now?</h2><p>As far as I can tell, the world of Ashby's content is vast. There are videos of her as the Lorax and Hamilton, of course, but also <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@_ashbyflorence_/video/7535533540612508942" target="_blank" data-ga-click="1" data-ga-label="$text" data-ga-item="text-link" data-ga-module="content_body">Pitbull</a> (of course) and, <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@_ashbyflorence_/video/7518081765349592333" target="_blank" data-ga-click="1" data-ga-label="$text" data-ga-item="text-link" data-ga-module="content_body">well</a>, <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@feverdream92/video/7536674772353060151" target="_blank" data-ga-click="1" data-ga-label="$text" data-ga-item="text-link" data-ga-module="content_body">herself</a>. There are lots of clips to peruse through because livestreams obviously last longer than the typical TikTok. </p><p>And Ashby also has <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/live/event/7537344966817742861?enter_from=anchor" target="_blank" data-ga-click="1" data-ga-label="$text" data-ga-item="text-link" data-ga-module="content_body">another livestream</a> planned for Tuesday around 9 p.m. ET. It's only listed as a surprise character with the description, "I hope I don&rsquo;t get too bashful." My personal hope is we get more of the Lorax. But whatever it is, we can rest assured it'll be funny and truly strange.</p><p class="mx-auto">

Frontier serves more than 100 airports across the U.S., Mexico, the Caribbean, and Latin America, offering a ton of options to visit that might be less crowded in the cooler months.</p><div class="flex mx-auto mt-8 w-full max-w-3xl font-sans text-lg leading-normal md:text-xl md:leading-7">

  1062. <p>There are a few other caveats that the ideal GoWild! pass holder would have to be OK with, like Frontier's dicey baggage policy and an extremely time-sensitive booking window. GoWild! flights can't be booked more than one day in advance for domestic flights or more than 10 days in advance for international flights, so be sure to book flexible accommodations.</p><p>It's certainly a unique travel arrangement, but the <a href="https://mashable.com/deals/frontier-airlines-gowild-summer-pass" target="_blank" data-ga-click="1" data-ga-label="$text" data-ga-item="text-link" data-ga-module="content_body">GoWild! pass is definitely worth it</a> if you have plans to take more than one roundtrip flight in the next six months.

  1199. <p>When you're new to food delivery apps, you're showered with all kinds of deals and discounts. But once you become a regular user, deals are few and far between. If you want to lock in some guaranteed savings for yourself, here's a hack for you: grab a gift card while it's on sale. </p><p>As of Aug. 26, you can pick up DoorDash and Instacart gift cards for up to 15% off at Best Buy. You can get a <a href="https://zdcs.link/QVXno1?pageview_type=RSS&template=article&module=content_body&element=offer&item=text-link&element_label=%24100%20DoorDash%20gift%20card&object_type=article&object_uuid=05nur0u7lQEawauyK0EQb3e&short_url=QVXno1&u=https%3A%2F%2Fmashable.com%2Ffeeds%2Frss%2Fall" rel="sponsored"  title="(opens in a new window)" target="_blank" data-ga-click="1" data-ga-label="$text" data-ga-item="text-link" data-ga-module="content_body">$100 DoorDash gift card</a> for only $85, saving you $15, or a <a href="https://zdcs.link/av4E0E?pageview_type=RSS&template=article&module=content_body&element=offer&item=text-link&element_label=%24100%20Instacart%20gift%20card&object_type=article&object_uuid=05nur0u7lQEawauyK0EQb3e&short_url=av4E0E&u=https%3A%2F%2Fmashable.com%2Ffeeds%2Frss%2Fall" rel="sponsored"  title="(opens in a new window)" target="_blank" data-ga-click="1" data-ga-label="$text" data-ga-item="text-link" data-ga-module="content_body">$100 Instacart gift card</a> for $90, saving you $10.

They just require an email address, and will be sent to your inbox directly after your purchase. You can transfer the digital gift card to someone else if you wish as well, just as you can with a physical gift card.</p><p>Once you add in taxes, fees, and <a href="https://mashable.com/article/doordash-tip-nudges" target="_blank" data-ga-click="1" data-ga-label="$text" data-ga-item="text-link" data-ga-module="content_body">tips</a>, food delivery prices can get outrageously expensive. Whether you want discounted groceries via Instacart or cheaper dinner tonight via DoorDash, grabbing a gift card on sale guarantees you get more for less.

  1274. <p>Welcome to pumpkin spice latte season (and <a href="https://mashable.com/article/home-depot-skelly-12-foot-skeleton-halloween-2025" target="_blank" data-ga-click="1" data-ga-label="$text" data-ga-item="text-link" data-ga-module="content_body">Skelly season</a>). Regardless of whether you love pumpkin spice or wish it would disappear forever, the Starbucks fall menu landed in stores this morning, and of course that includes the PSL. Like everything these days, the latte doesn't come cheap. Not that the coffee chain ever was cheap, but a daily PSL (or any other flavor) can add up at a shocking speed.</p><p>We have tons of at-home coffee maker options these days and some are truly amazing. There's typically an initial cost investment, but it evens out to be less expensive than the cafe over time. And making coffee in your own kitchen means you don't need to change into public-appropriate clothing or dodge that acquaintance from high school you'd rather not encounter. </p><p>De'Longhi makes some of the most user-friendly and advanced espresso machines, and that includes the brand's lineup of Nespresso Vertuo machines. Just in time for PSL season (and the upcoming fall back <a href="https://mashable.com/article/daylight-savings-time-when-do-clocks-change-explained" target="_blank" data-ga-click="1" data-ga-label="$text" data-ga-item="text-link" data-ga-module="content_body">clock reset</a>) the brand has discounted espresso machines for <a href="https://mashable.com/article/labor-day-sales-deals-2025" target="_blank" data-ga-click="1" data-ga-label="$text" data-ga-item="text-link" data-ga-module="content_body">Labor Day</a>, and the sale is already live.

  1409. <p>This curved, super-ultra-wide, 46-inch screen does more than crisply display your games &mdash; it turns them into an experience. Its QD-OLED tech ensures a vivid picture with deep black tones and bright hues that pop. It boasts Dual QHD resolution (5120 x 1440) across its huge 32:9 screen, as well as a 144Hz refresh rate and 0.02ms response time. That should make for an incredibly smooth gaming experience. And thanks to both G-Sync and AMD FreeSync Premium Pro compatibility, you should see less screen tearing, lag, or stuttering. </p><p>This display is meant to game on for long periods of time as well, so you don't have to worry if your matches run long or if you need to clock lengthy training periods for your burgeoning esports career. Samsung thought about that, too, incorporating burn-in protection, thermal modulation to reduce excess heat, and Picture-in-Picture mode so you can divert your attention to multiple things. </p><p>If you're ready to make a big leap in terms of the tech on your gaming desk, this is a great pick. Just be sure to snag it before it disappears. </p>]]></content:encoded>

  1512. <h2>What's new with the Kraken Kitty V3 Pro?</h2><p>This is the third iteration of the streamer-favorite Kraken Kitty Pro, which Razer debuted in 2019 and upgraded in 2022 with swappable ear shapes. This time around, Razer has committed to pointy cat ears and slimmed the shape of the cups by a few millimeters for a more polished look. It's also put the cups on a swivel for a more comfortable fit and a better seal. They don't have noise cancellation, but they should fit flush enough against your head to block a lot of surrounding noise. </p><p>The Kraken Kitty V3 Pro's cups are now made with memory foam and a protein "leatherette" that's easier to wipe down than the previous version's half-fabric, half-leatherette material.</p><div class="eloquent-imagery-image">

  1661. <p>From the trailer, we get a sense of Alex's desperation and how a desire to understand his circumstances &mdash;&nbsp;and perhaps self-flagellate &mdash;&nbsp;pitches him into New York's merciless comedy scene. Tough times when even your parents aren't on board with your schtick. </p><p>Cooper not only co-writes and helms <em>Is This Thing On?</em>, but is also set to appear in the film, alongside Andra Day, Amy Sedaris, Sean Hayes, Christine Ebersole, Ciar&aacute;n Hinds, and Scott Icenogle. </p><p>Following his remake of <a href="https://mashable.com/article/a-star-is-born-movie-review" target="_blank" data-ga-click="1" data-ga-label="$text" data-ga-item="text-link" data-ga-module="content_body"><em>A Star is Born </em></a>and his self-starring biopic of Leonard Bernstein <a href="https://mashable.com/article/maestro-review-netflix-bradley-cooper" target="_blank" data-ga-click="1" data-ga-label="$text" data-ga-item="text-link" data-ga-module="content_body"><em>Maestro</em>,</a> <em>Is This Thing On? </em>is Cooper's latest directorial effort focusing on the intersection of act and personal sacrifice.

Searchlight Pictures will release the film in select theaters on Dec.19. Look for Mashable's coverage out of NYFF this fall. </p>]]></content:encoded>

"While a single soundbar can't compete with the booming speakers you'll hear in a movie theater," he writes, "This speaker gave me the closest match to that experience I've ever had in my living room." </p><p>Thanks to Sonos Sound Motion and Dolby Atmos, the Arc ultra provides impressive surround sound. It can also double as a smart speaker, so you can listen to music or use voice controls to check the weather or set timers, even when the TV is off. It's an impressive speaker all around; it even <em>looks</em> as good as it sounds. </p><p>If you really want to upgrade your TV's sound, it's hard to beat the Sonos Arc Ultra as a standalone soundbar.

  1753. <p>The Mill kitchen bin is slightly different from other at-home composters. Instead of creating actual decomposed organic material (with science that involves worms), Mill is simply dehydrating your food scraps, <em>milling </em>them down into an odorless material that resembles soil. When I say odorless, I mean it &mdash;&nbsp;Mill literally doesn't smell, and is such a glorious alternative to letting old food stink up the actual trash can. Mill holds all of your daily plate scraps and old fridge leftovers, turning it to food grounds silently overnight.

  1771. <p>However, the most unique thing about Mill is that it offers to deal with your food grounds for you. If you don't have a garden, you don't really have much to do with the "compost" that countertop composters like Lomi and Reencle produce. Mill solves that glaring issue through a mail-back program: With a subscription, you'll get free pre-labeled boxes in which you'll pack up your finished food grounds to ship back to Mill. Then, Mill uses the grounds as a base for &mdash; wait for it &mdash; chicken feed. I've been using my Mill bin for about two years, and was recently notified that my Mill usage has diverted 500 pounds of food waste from a landfill, instead feeding farm chickens that were going to need to eat, anyway.</p><p>So far, the only potential source of hesitation I've really been able to pinpoint with Mill is how much it costs. It gets especially pricey when you factor in the mail-back pickup plan, which adds another $194 annually. But think about it this way: Mill's Labor Day discount just about covers an entire year of the pickup subscription. </p>]]></content:encoded>

  1816. <p>Ruggable is the home of machine-washable rugs that you can take up off the floor and toss into the washer. They're stain-resistant with hundreds of designs to choose from, and they're kid and pet friendly. They're also nonslip and durable so they can stand up to heavy use with an entire household putting them to the test.</p><p>Ruggable offers a wide variety of options from area rugs to runners and doormats and just about everything in between. Mashable's RJ Andersen took the washable rugs for a spin and loved the <a href="https://mashable.com/review/ruggable" target="_blank" data-ga-click="1" data-ga-label="$text" data-ga-item="text-link" data-ga-module="content_body">"plush and well-designed"</a> rug, noting that "a few months later" it remains soft and easy to clean and maintain, especially when it comes to pet hair. </p><p>If you have a home where you need a rug that can not only be washed in the washer but stand up to heavy traffic, pet dander, and the damage kids can do, Ruggable is a good option. And saving 25% on the rug of your choice is a great deal, so outfit your home for fall and save some moola. </p>]]></content:encoded>

  1866. <p>With that extra power comes significant weight &mdash; 91.5 pounds to be exact &mdash; so Anker went ahead and eased our sore backs by equipping the F3000 with durable wheels and a retractable handle, so you can easily roll the power station around your home. </p><p>Anker says the F3000 can power a 190W refrigerator for up to 42 hours during a power outage or keep your most essential appliances going for up to 10 hours. You'll be able to do so with the four standard AC ports, two USB-A, two USB-C, and 30 amp plug options.</p><p>Today's bundle deal also includes a 400W solar panel, which can be a lifesaver when it comes to recharging the Solix F3000 portable power station. The solar panel's legs can keep it harnessing the sun's power at four different angles, and it's made with durable materials that are scratch-resistant. The panel is also waterproof, so you won't need to worry if the weather suddenly gets wet.</p><p>Before the storm knocks out power and your refrigerator turns into a warm box, get prepared with the <a href="https://zdcs.link/znxdlG?pageview_type=RSS&template=article&module=content_body&element=offer&item=text-link&element_label=Anker%20Solix%20F3000%20portable%20power%20station%20with%20400W%20solar%20panel&object_type=article&object_uuid=02JnS33ivuuffGYORAFZgb7&short_url=znxdlG&u=https%3A%2F%2Fmashable.com%2Ffeeds%2Frss%2Fall" rel="sponsored"  title="(opens in a new window)" target="_blank" data-ga-click="1" data-ga-label="$text" data-ga-item="text-link" data-ga-module="content_body">Anker Solix F3000 portable power station with 400W solar panel</a>.

Mashable's Stan Schroeder spent some time with it and called it "the king of sub-$500 smart speakers." It's a bit odd looking, but it's packed with impressive audio technology, including six amps, four tweeters, and two woofers. It's the first Sonos speaker to support spatial audio, features Sonos Voice Control and Alexa, offers customizable sound in the Sonos app, and can connect seamlessly with other Sonos products. Schroeder adds, "It singlehandedly produces sound that can often match larger speakers, perhaps even entire hi-fi systems."</p><p>It requires an adapter to connect a 3.5mm jack and it's kind of expensive on a regular day, but we're willing to overlook those things for its booming sound.

These include a new smart speaker, indoor and outdoor security cameras, and a video doorbell. This is noteworthy because Google hasn't released any new Nest products since 2021, if you can believe that. You'd be forgiven for thinking the brand was dead entirely. </p><p>Per Android Headlines, the new Google Home Speaker looks like previous Nest speakers, but this one is powered by Gemini instead of Google Assistant. </p><div class="flex mx-auto mt-8 w-full max-w-3xl font-sans text-lg leading-normal md:text-xl md:leading-7">

  2094. <p>There's also a new Nest Cam Indoor for your household monitoring needs. It's getting a resolution bump from 1080p to 2K, which should make footage a lot sharper. It can also zoom in on certain areas and crop the video if needed. Interestingly, the new camera can store up to an hour of footage locally in case the internet goes out. Needless to say, it should also support Gemini in some capacity, as will the new Nest Cam Outdoor.</p><p>Speaking of which, the outdoor camera also gets the same resolution bump, the same zoom and crop feature, and the same local storage capacity. It's like the indoor camera except, well, not indoors. Lastly, there's a new Nest wired doorbell camera that'll get all of the above features as well. In addition to that, every one of these camera-enabled devices is getting Daily Summaries, a Gemini-powered feature that summarizes things you may have missed throughout the day. </p><p>Four years is a long time between product refreshes, but at least this one seems substantial.</p>]]></content:encoded>

  2159. <p>As Mashable recently reported, the amount of work that goes into creating a <a href="https://mashable.com/article/why-you-think-onlyfans-is-easy-money-when-it-definitely-isnt" target="_blank" data-ga-click="1" data-ga-label="$text" data-ga-item="text-link" data-ga-module="content_body"><u>steady stream of adult content</u></a>, keeping fickle fans engaged, and managing the back-end logistics of an indie adult career is astounding. Many who try to take it all on themselves <a href="https://www.dailydot.com/via/secret-life-former-internet-cam-girl/" target="_blank" data-ga-click="1" data-ga-label="$text" data-ga-item="text-link" data-ga-module="content_body"><u>burn out quickly</u></a>. Instead, most successful creators now rely on a wide array of specialized gear and support services to maintain or grow their brands and profits &mdash; some of which then go right back into more gear and services.&nbsp;</p><p>As <a href="https://www.stonybrook.edu/commcms/wgss/people/angelajones" target="_blank" data-ga-click="1" data-ga-label="$text" data-ga-item="text-link" data-ga-module="content_body"><u>Angela Jones</u></a>, a professor <a href="https://journals.publishing.umich.edu/mij/article/id/1255/" target="_blank" data-ga-click="1" data-ga-label="$text" data-ga-item="text-link" data-ga-module="content_body"><u>who studies camming</u></a> and other forms of independent sex work, points out, this means that new creators who already have the resources to identify and invest in the right goods and services often have a leg up on the competition. This systemic privilege flies in the face of the ostensibly revolutionary, open-to-all promise of independent platforms.</p><p>But that doesn't mean novices from low-resource backgrounds can't succeed, they add. But if you want to make it as an indie creator without prior experience, expert support, or a wad of startup cash, longtime performer <a href="https://twitter.com/cheriedeville" target="_blank" data-ga-click="1" data-ga-label="$text" data-ga-item="text-link" data-ga-module="content_body"><u>Cherie DeVille</u></a> argues, "you have to be scrappy, creative, and incredibly determined."</p><p>It also helps to understand what your competition is investing in, how you can potentially get by without some of those tools, and whether and when you should start investing your profits in them.&nbsp;In that respect, Mashable can help. A dozen content creators and academics who study the indie adult content ecosystem told us about the equipment and support they need to make porn &mdash; aside from naked bodies &mdash; and how they decide when to (re)invest in it.</p><h2>An (incomplete) list of the goods and services porn creators rely on</h2><p>At a baseline, creating your own content means taking on the <a href="https://infloww.com/blog/onlyfans-creators-tax" target="_blank" data-ga-click="1" data-ga-label="$text" data-ga-item="text-link" data-ga-module="content_body"><u>tasks and expenses</u></a> that studios used to shoulder. You have to source your own props, makeup, and wardrobe, and manage any travel or bookings involved in working with other performers. You also need to be able to record and edit, which often means securing regular access to a suitable computer and software suite, as well as mics and lighting, and maybe even dedicated cameras and tripods.&nbsp;</p><p>Some performers, like Kisscat, whose native language is Russian, also <a href="http://businessinsider.com/how-onlyfans-adult-creators-are-embracing-ai-chatbot-twins-images-2024-5" target="_blank" data-ga-click="1" data-ga-label="$text" data-ga-item="text-link" data-ga-module="content_body"><u>need specialized programs</u></a> to help with video subtitle generation and real-time translation. Jones notes that this baseline equipment is getting more affordable and easier to find with every passing year. But creator <a href="https://www.instagram.com/penny.barber.truly" target="_blank" data-ga-click="1" data-ga-label="$text" data-ga-item="text-link" data-ga-module="content_body"><u>Penny Barber</u></a> points out that cutting-edge equipment &mdash; the sort you might want if you're trying to maintain such an edge &mdash; is still pretty pricey. "My first big purchase was my Canon EOS C500 Mark II" camera, she says. "She costs as much as a car &mdash; but she combines professional quality with amateur usability."&nbsp;</p><p>This is not just a potentially big initial cost &mdash; equipment is a sporadic but rolling expense. Folks who want to do occasional headline-grabbing <a href="https://thetab.com/2025/06/23/bonnie-blue-reveals-the-huge-amounts-of-money-all-her-onlyfans-challenges-cost" target="_blank" data-ga-click="1" data-ga-label="$text" data-ga-item="text-link" data-ga-module="content_body"><u>stunts like Bonnie Blue</u></a> will need to drop a ton of cash to, say, vet dozens of potential scene partners and fly them all out to a third location for a scene.&nbsp;</p><p>Those who want to stay on par with their competitors' videos may need to invest in new production equipment on the reg. ("While we don't upgrade it every month, we always keep an eye on new tech," says Kisscat.) And just keeping things fresh for your fans involves constantly investing in new getups and props. "My lingerie bill is astronomical," says creator <a href="https://www.instagram.com/kikidaire_/?hl=en" target="_blank" data-ga-click="1" data-ga-label="$text" data-ga-item="text-link" data-ga-module="content_body"><u>Kiki D'Aire</u></a>.</p><p>"Once you're established, your outfits, your toys &mdash; I get my fans to buy all of that stuff for me," says performer <a href="https://x.com/himexmarie?lang=en" target="_blank" data-ga-click="1" data-ga-label="$text" data-ga-item="text-link" data-ga-module="content_body"><u>Hime Marie</u></a>. Barber sometimes raises fan funds for some tech upgrades, too. But it takes time to reach that level of fan engagement and support, and it's hard to count on it.&nbsp;</p><p>On top of all this, performers can face a ton of potential monthly or annual expenses, such as:&nbsp;</p><ul><li><p>Regular STI testing, gym expenses, and other basic health and wellness costs.&nbsp;</p></li><li><p>The price of an extra room or a studio that you can use for shooting exclusively.

Even if you only use your lawyer once, maintaining corporate status is an ongoing process.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p></li><li><p>A P.O. box, dedicated phone, suite of privacy software, and other tools that might help you maintain your anonymity in the face of <a href="https://www.thedailybeast.com/porn-star-nicole-doshi-is-haunted-by-bogus-sex-trafficking-rumors/" target="_blank" data-ga-click="1" data-ga-label="$text" data-ga-item="text-link" data-ga-module="content_body"><u>nosy fans</u></a> and rampant <a href="https://epic.org/issues/consumer-privacy/data-brokers/" target="_blank" data-ga-click="1" data-ga-label="$text" data-ga-item="text-link" data-ga-module="content_body"><u>data brokers</u></a>.&nbsp;</p></li><li><p>A content protection service that will monitor for attempts to pirate and distribute your content for free, and handle the hassle of sending out copyright takedown requests.&nbsp;</p></li><li><p>Marketing and public relations services, like SEO optimization, paid promotions on other performers' platforms, or even email marketing. It may seem like an odd investment for an adult performer, but as creator <a href="https://www.instagram.com/beyondlexpectations/" target="_blank" data-ga-click="1" data-ga-label="$text" data-ga-item="text-link" data-ga-module="content_body"><u>Lexi Luna</u></a> points out, in the competitive market, "you need new eyes to find you, so the more you can do to attract new fans, the better."&nbsp;&nbsp;</p></li><li><p>Camera operators and editors. While many folks craft their own content, not everyone has the skill or inclination to do so &mdash; and some who do get too busy with the business of managing their brands to keep up. So folks like Marie depend on specialist contractors.&nbsp;</p></li></ul><p>Creators who want to run their own site and sell clips directly also have to factor in the cost of web hosting and a <a href="https://www.mic.com/identity/porn-gender-identity-tagging-elevated-x" target="_blank" data-ga-click="1" data-ga-label="$text" data-ga-item="text-link" data-ga-module="content_body"><u>suitable content management system</u></a>. Card companies and banks, ever-skittish about their reputations and varied laws about taboo products around the world, <a href="http://columbianewsservice.com/2023/02/01/sex-workers-say-they-face-hurdles-to-banking-access/" target="_blank" data-ga-click="1" data-ga-label="$text" data-ga-item="text-link" data-ga-module="content_body"><u>don't like working with adult content</u></a> directly. So running your own site also requires investing in intermediary services, which ensure payments are processed reliably &mdash; for a cut of every sale.&nbsp;</p><p>Most creators use platforms like OnlyFans because these sites handle basic payment logistics, ensure a level of privacy and security, and come with a built-in audience. However, as a tradeoff, OnlyFans <a href="https://social-rise.com/blog/how-much-does-onlyfans-take" target="_blank" data-ga-click="1" data-ga-label="$text" data-ga-item="text-link" data-ga-module="content_body"><u>takes a 20 percent</u></a> cut off of their income &mdash; and some cam sites even <a href="https://www.supercreator.app/guides/want-to-turn-your-webcam-into-a-cash-cow-discover-the-best-cam-sites-for-earning-big" target="_blank" data-ga-click="1" data-ga-label="$text" data-ga-item="text-link" data-ga-module="content_body"><u>take upwards of 50 percent</u></a> of a performer's earnings.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p><p>A few turn to <a href="https://www.vice.com/en/article/onlyfans-models-community-manager-job/" target="_blank" data-ga-click="1" data-ga-label="$text" data-ga-item="text-link" data-ga-module="content_body"><u>social media or general managers</u></a> as well, who will take at least 10 to 20 percent of a creator's income to manage some combination of promotion, fan engagement, and strategic planning. In developing countries, especially &mdash; <a href="https://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-ln-porn-camming-20160803-snap-story.html" target="_blank" data-ga-click="1" data-ga-label="$text" data-ga-item="text-link" data-ga-module="content_body"><u>but not exclusively</u></a> &mdash; cammers in particular often agree to exchange a cut of their income for the chance to work in a dedicated studio, which will ideally <a href="https://restofworld.org/2022/colombias-webcam-industry-mentors/" target="_blank" data-ga-click="1" data-ga-label="$text" data-ga-item="text-link" data-ga-module="content_body"><u>supply equipment and assist</u></a> with strategy and promotion.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p><p>The exact constellation of investments creators make varies wildly, but they can be a huge shock when you're just starting out &mdash; especially if you're not mobilizing and monetizing an existing fan base. Marie, who made her name camming about a decade ago, stresses that "if I had nothing to my name and I wanted to start an OnlyFans now, regardless of how beautiful and bubbly I am, not a lot is really going to happen for me for at least the first few months &mdash; arguably even a year," as it simply takes time to establish your brand and build a following.&nbsp;</p><p>It takes dedication and skill to start <a href="https://www.cosmopolitan.com/uk/reports/a60637412/onlyfans-agencies/" target="_blank" data-ga-click="1" data-ga-label="$text" data-ga-item="text-link" data-ga-module="content_body"><u>earning even a few thousand dollars</u></a> per month on a fan site. In practice, Kisscat says, "beginners often reinvest almost everything" into starter equipment and support services.&nbsp;</p><p>Even after that initial investment period, the performers Mashable spoke to for this story say that they often invest 20 to 50 percent of their profits into goods and services every month, depending on whether they're focused on maintaining their standing or on growing their brand.&nbsp;</p><h2>Investing in adult content creation takes risk&nbsp;</h2><p>It's hard, as a new creator, to know which services you need to invest in &mdash; where to allocate the resources you have. Especially when, as <a href="https://www.gwynesmith.com/" target="_blank" data-ga-click="1" data-ga-label="$text" data-ga-item="text-link" data-ga-module="content_body"><u>Gwyn Easterbrook-Smith</u></a>, a researcher who studies the careers of indie adult content producers, explains, aggressive salespeople now try to convince newbies "that they need more equipment and professional services than they actually do."&nbsp;&nbsp;</p><p>Newcomers might, for example, see that established creators use content protection services and figure that's a necessary immediate investment. But their videos may not actually be at high risk of piracy early on &mdash; or the losses they do suffer to piracy may not merit the cost.&nbsp;</p><p>"Being a creator can cost an arm and a leg if you're not careful," stresses performer <a href="https://www.instagram.com/magxnumb/" target="_blank" data-ga-click="1" data-ga-label="$text" data-ga-item="text-link" data-ga-module="content_body"><u>Mag Numb</u></a>.&nbsp;</p><p>Self-proclaimed managers, consultants, and coaches also exploit performers' need for support and uncertainty about what support they need, explains Easterbrook-Smith, to sell advice and aid that might "do more harm than good."

"If somebody is asking for over 30 percent of your profits, that should be a red flag," signaling some form of exploitative intent.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p><h2>How to navigate adult content creation as a newbie</h2><p>Some performers get around the expenses and risks of indie adult content creation by leaning on friends and family, who can lend them equipment or even act as <a href="http://nypost.com/2022/10/12/im-a-porn-star-the-success-has-helped-me-bond-with-my-manager-dad/" target="_blank" data-ga-click="1" data-ga-label="$text" data-ga-item="text-link" data-ga-module="content_body"><u>altruistic support staff</u></a>. But not everyone has a network of skills and resources to draw on as they journey into the porn world.&nbsp;</p><p>If you're trying to hack it as a creator with limited resources, then Ryan has some basic advice: "Keep it simple, stupid."</p><p>Your competition, starting out with a bespoke shooting space and fancy camera, might have an advantage, she explains. But it's possible to start out shooting on a phone in your room whenever you have some good natural light and a few moments of privacy and silence.&nbsp;</p><p>"Fans aren't going to pay much more for high production values," Luna adds. At least at the outset, "what's important is that the camera isn't shaky and the sound doesn't hiss."&nbsp;</p><p>"Some top creators still film on an iPhone with poor lighting," concurs Kisscat. "But they have 10,000s of fans because they know how to connect with people and sell their presence."&nbsp;</p><div class="flex mx-auto mt-8 w-full max-w-3xl font-sans text-lg leading-normal md:text-xl md:leading-7">

  2170. <p>Starting small and scrappy &mdash; doing as much as you can on your own &mdash; may actually benefit you in the long-term, D'Aire argues. You can learn a lot from tutorials on YouTube or Reddit, not just about how content creation works, but about what is and isn't easy for you, and thus what goods and services you might need to invest in once you have saved a little cash. And consulting communities of creators on sites like Reddit, who're often happy to share tips and tricks, will help you find peers who will support you as you vet scams versus valid investments.&nbsp;</p><p>"As you get more proficient, you'll definitely want to maximize your potential" by investing in better equipment and more services," says D'Aire. But you can buy what you need as that need arises and your budget allows. You can find plenty of used equipment these days, adds Barber.&nbsp;</p><p>"Even with mediocre gear, a creator who knows how to do what they want will outperform someone who has excellent gear and no knowledge" of branding or clear goals, she says.&nbsp;</p>]]></content:encoded>

Words can be made from linked letters &mdash; up, down, left, right, or diagonal, but words can also change direction, resulting in quirky shapes and patterns. Every single letter in the grid will be part of an answer. There's always a theme linking every solution, along with the "spangram," a special, word or phrase that sums up that day's theme, and spans the entire grid horizontally or vertically.</p><div class="flex mx-auto mt-8 w-full max-w-3xl font-sans text-lg leading-normal md:text-xl md:leading-7">

But rather than streaming shows, it offers a catalogue of books and magazines that users can borrow to read on an e-reader or through the Kindle app. It offers more than, say, a membership to <a href="https://mashable.com/review/book-of-the-month-subscription-review" target="_blank" data-ga-click="1" data-ga-label="$text" data-ga-item="text-link" data-ga-module="content_body">Book of the Month</a> does. Instead of getting one new book a month, with Kindle Unlimited, you receive access to the Kindle Unlimited library, which is full of millions of titles.</p><p>It works like a library where you can borrow up to 20 books at a time (magazines don't count toward your borrowing limit). To be honest, if you use <a href="https://mashable.com/article/libby-app-how-to-free-kindle-e-books?test_uuid=003aGE6xTMbhuvdzpnH5X4Q&amp;test_variant=b" target="_blank" data-ga-click="1" data-ga-label="$text" data-ga-item="text-link" data-ga-module="content_body">Libby</a>, you're basically getting the same service for free, but Libby often results in long wait times for popular books, which isn't the case with Kindle Unlimited &mdash; all of the books in the Unlimited library are available all of the time.</p><p>However, the Kindle Unlimited library doesn't offer every book. Its library has a regular rotation, and some books are only temporarily available through Kindle Unlimited.</p><p><em>Don&rsquo;t miss out on our latest stories: <a href="https://www.google.com/preferences/source?q=mashable.com" target="_blank" data-ga-click="1" data-ga-label="$text" data-ga-item="text-link" data-ga-module="content_body">Add Mashable as a trusted news source in Google</a></em><em>.</em></p><h2>How much is Kindle Unlimited?</h2><p>Kindle Unlimited costs $11.99 per month.

Combined with Assassin&rsquo;s Return, which bounces it back to the hand, Crobat offers rare flexibility for a Stage 2. Collectors are also responding to the Rocket branding and unique artwork, which makes the SIR version particularly desirable.</p><p>Mewtwo ex Hyper Rare gained even as the SIR version declined. The reason is practical: competitive players want copies they can use without overpaying for showcase art. Its Erasure Ball attack can scale up to high numbers with discarded energy, making it dangerous in energy-heavy Rocket decks. Hyper Rare demand rose as a more budget-conscious &ldquo;bling&rdquo; option.</p><p>Misty&rsquo;s Psyduck kept climbing slowly but steadily, almost entirely on collector strength. The Illustration Rare art leans hard into Psyduck&rsquo;s comic reputation, and Misty&rsquo;s presence drives nostalgia demand. In competitive play, the ability Flustered Leap is niche at best, but it does not matter &mdash; the art is carrying this card&rsquo;s value.</p><p>Ethan&rsquo;s Adventure became a quiet riser this week, fueled by its clear competitive utility. Searching for both Ethan&rsquo;s Pok&eacute;mon and Fire Energy makes it one of the most consistent enablers in Fire archetypes. Collectors are beginning to notice the Special Illustration Rare version as the premium way to own the card, driving up prices even as play demand grows.</p><p>Cynthia&rsquo;s Garchomp ex Hyper Rare exploded upward, posting the biggest bump of the week. Its Corkscrew Dive offers reliable card draw, and Draconic Buster hits high numbers despite discarding energy. The competitive meta is rewarding its flexibility, and collectors are opting for the Hyper Rare version as a flashy but more affordable pickup compared to the SIR.</p><h2>Pok&eacute;mon card cuts</h2><div class="eloquent-imagery-image">

  2954. <p>This week&rsquo;s cuts landed squarely on the Special Illustration Rares that had ridden a wave of hype. Collectors are scaling back, and competitive players are redirecting toward cheaper Hyper Rares. As a result, even the biggest names from the Rocket lineup saw price slips.</p><ul><li><p><a href="https://zdcs.link/9wRYep?pageview_type=RSS&template=article&module=content_body&element=offer&item=text-link&element_label=Team%20Rocket%E2%80%99s%20Mewtwo%20ex%20231%2F182%20%28SIR%29&object_type=article&object_uuid=00fVaVlKKOyLunkG5PAdUJp&short_url=9wRYep&u=https%3A%2F%2Fmashable.com%2Ffeeds%2Frss%2Fall" rel="sponsored" target="_blank" title="(opens in a new window)" target="_new" data-ga-click="1" data-ga-label="$text" data-ga-item="text-link" data-ga-module="content_body">Team Rocket&rsquo;s Mewtwo ex 231/182 (SIR)</a> &mdash; <strong>$315</strong> <s>$399.88</s> (-22.18%)</p></li><li><p><a href="https://zdcs.link/92xGel?pageview_type=RSS&template=article&module=content_body&element=offer&item=text-link&element_label=Cynthia%E2%80%99s%20Garchomp%20ex%20232%2F182%20%28SIR%29&object_type=article&object_uuid=00fVaVlKKOyLunkG5PAdUJp&short_url=92xGel&u=https%3A%2F%2Fmashable.com%2Ffeeds%2Frss%2Fall" rel="sponsored" target="_blank" title="(opens in a new window)" target="_new" data-ga-click="1" data-ga-label="$text" data-ga-item="text-link" data-ga-module="content_body">Cynthia&rsquo;s Garchomp ex 232/182 (SIR)</a> &mdash; <strong>$204.42</strong> <s>$223.89</s> (-8.75%)</p></li><li><p><a href="https://zdcs.link/z62OXj?pageview_type=RSS&template=article&module=content_body&element=offer&item=text-link&element_label=Ethan%E2%80%99s%20Ho-Oh%20ex%20230%2F182%20%28SIR%29&object_type=article&object_uuid=00fVaVlKKOyLunkG5PAdUJp&short_url=z62OXj&u=https%3A%2F%2Fmashable.com%2Ffeeds%2Frss%2Fall" rel="sponsored" target="_blank" title="(opens in a new window)" target="_new" data-ga-click="1" data-ga-label="$text" data-ga-item="text-link" data-ga-module="content_body">Ethan&rsquo;s Ho-Oh ex 230/182 (SIR)</a> &mdash; <strong>$165</strong> <s>$182.69</s> (-9.50%)</p></li><li><p><a href="https://zdcs.link/92xGbL?pageview_type=RSS&template=article&module=content_body&element=offer&item=text-link&element_label=Team%20Rocket%E2%80%99s%20Moltres%20ex%20229%2F182%20%28SIR%29&object_type=article&object_uuid=00fVaVlKKOyLunkG5PAdUJp&short_url=92xGbL&u=https%3A%2F%2Fmashable.com%2Ffeeds%2Frss%2Fall" rel="sponsored" target="_blank" title="(opens in a new window)" target="_new" data-ga-click="1" data-ga-label="$text" data-ga-item="text-link" data-ga-module="content_body">Team Rocket&rsquo;s Moltres ex 229/182 (SIR)</a> &mdash; <strong>$130</strong> <s>$180.20</s> (-17.26%)</p></li><li><p><a href="https://zdcs.link/QOb8DY?pageview_type=RSS&template=article&module=content_body&element=offer&item=text-link&element_label=Team%20Rocket%E2%80%99s%20Nidoking%20ex%20233%2F182%20%28SIR%29&object_type=article&object_uuid=00fVaVlKKOyLunkG5PAdUJp&short_url=QOb8DY&u=https%3A%2F%2Fmashable.com%2Ffeeds%2Frss%2Fall" rel="sponsored" target="_blank" title="(opens in a new window)" target="_new" data-ga-click="1" data-ga-label="$text" data-ga-item="text-link" data-ga-module="content_body">Team Rocket&rsquo;s Nidoking ex 233/182 (SIR)</a> &mdash; <strong>$100</strong> <s>$115.91</s> (-15.91%)</p></li></ul><p>Mewtwo ex SIR took the hardest hit, losing over 20 percent. The ability Power Saver makes it clunky in play, since it cannot attack unless you already have four Rocket Pok&eacute;mon in play. With its Hyper Rare counterpart rising, collectors seem unwilling to hold such a high premium for artwork alone.</p><p>Cynthia&rsquo;s Garchomp ex SIR also lost ground, dipping nearly 9 percent. The gameplay value is unquestioned, but the Hyper Rare is cheaper and still flashy enough for most players. That puts downward pressure on the pricier SIR version, especially as it was heavily targeted by early collectors.</p><p>Ethan&rsquo;s Ho-Oh ex SIR fell as well, losing almost 10 percent. Golden Flame is a strong ability for energy acceleration, but the attack Shining Feathers is prohibitively expensive, requiring four Fire energy. That cost makes it unreliable in the competitive meta, leaving the SIR to slide as collectors adjust expectations.</p><p>Moltres ex SIR is down over 17 percent despite one of the most striking artworks in the set. The effect of Evil Incineration, which discards the opponent&rsquo;s Active Pok&eacute;mon outright, is flashy but inconsistent. Without strong tournament showings to back it up, the price correction was inevitable.</p><p>Nidoking ex SIR rounds out the list with a 15 percent drop. Its Tainted Horn offers brutal poison pressure, but as a Stage 2 Darkness Pok&eacute;mon, it is slow to set up and vulnerable in today&rsquo;s meta. Collectors are focusing their Rocket nostalgia dollars elsewhere, leaving Nidoking on the sidelines.</p><h2>Destined Rivals sealed product</h2><div class="eloquent-imagery-image">

The distinctive honeycomb-style shell isn&rsquo;t merely a design flourish; it actually reduces the overall weight to the point where the mouse feels practically weightless.</p><div class="eloquent-imagery-image">

  2991. <p>The weight loss has not impacted durability. SteelSeries equipped the Aerox 3 with its AquaBarrier technology, giving the internals IP54-rated protection against dust, dirt, and accidental spills. That means you can game with peace of mind, even if you&rsquo;re the sort who keeps refreshments far too close to your mousepad.</p><p>What&rsquo;s more, the clean and simple, strong plastic frame means you&rsquo;re far less likely to deal with ugly wear and tear.

However, the latter can make its side buttons a pain to use, since I&rsquo;ve had to force my thumb upwards in order to use them.</p><p>The 100% PTFE glide skates on the underside make it such a delight to use. Pressing the back and forward buttons the old-fashioned way doesn&rsquo;t feel like a chore.</p><p>Battery life is another highlight. SteelSeries claims up to 200 hours on a single charge, which means you won&rsquo;t be tethered to your desk with a charging cable every few days. And when you do need to top up, the mouse supports USB-C fast charging, giving you hours of use from just a short plug-in.</p><p>The added RGB functionality does drastically shorten the battery life, though, usually giving me between 24 and 40 hours depending on how I use it. Still, you can turn the RGB off or tweak it to lessen its drain in the SteelSeries GG app if you wish.</p><h3>Flexible connectivity and RGB</h3><p>The Aerox 3 Wireless offers two wireless modes: 2.4GHz for lag-free gaming and Bluetooth 5.0 for everyday use on laptops, tablets, or even consoles &mdash; which you can toggle between seamlessly using the switch on the bottom, with the wired mode available using the included USB-C charging cable.&nbsp;</p><div class="flex mx-auto mt-8 w-full max-w-3xl font-sans text-lg leading-normal md:text-xl md:leading-7">

Google's foldable starts at $1,799, while Samsung's starts at $1,999. You're technically "saving money" by going with the Pixel, but perhaps savings aren't really part of the equation when buying such expensive hardware.

  3073. <p>In previous years, competing Google and Samsung foldables diverged somewhat in terms of physical dimensions, but the difference is <em>stark</em> in 2025.</p><p>That's because Samsung went all-in on making the Z Fold 7 its thinnest foldable yet. It's just 8.9mm thick when folded and a mere 4.2mm unfolded, weighing just 215g. It's thicker than a regular smartphone, sure, but not by that much. Unfortunately for Google, while the Pixel 10 Pro Fold doesn't seem prohibitively beefy by any means, it's noticeably bigger and heavier. Pixel 10 Pro Fold is 10.8mm thick when folded, 5.2mm when unfolded, and weighs 258g.</p><p>One could argue that the Pixel 10 Pro Fold's dimensions aren't necessarily problematic just because they're bulkier than the competition, and that might be true. But there's no doubt which of these phones is going to be more comfortable to hold for long periods of time.</p><h3>Specs</h3><div class="eloquent-imagery-image">

  3084. <p>Here are the basic specs for the Z Fold 7:</p><ul><li><p><strong>8-inch AMOLED inner display with 2184x1968 resolution and 120Hz adaptive refresh rate</strong></p></li><li><p><strong>6.5-inch AMOLED cover display with 2520x1080p resolution and 120Hz adaptive refresh rate</strong></p></li><li><p><strong>Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy chip</strong></p></li><li><p><strong>12/16GB RAM</strong></p></li><li><p><strong>256/512GB/1TB memory</strong></p></li><li><p><strong>4,400mAh battery</strong></p></li></ul><p>And here's what you get for $200 less on Pixel 10 Pro Fold:</p><ul><li><p><strong>6.4-inch external display with 1080x2364 resolution and 120Hz adaptive refresh rate</strong></p></li><li><p><strong>8-inch internal display with 2076x2152 resolution and 120Hz adaptive refresh rate</strong></p></li><li><p><strong>Google Tensor G5 chip</strong></p></li><li><p><strong>16GB RAM</strong></p></li><li><p><strong>256GB/512GB/1TB storage</strong></p></li><li><p><strong>5,015mAh battery</strong></p></li></ul><p>Now <em>this</em> is where things get even more interesting. Both phones have similar enough displays that it would be nitpicking to point out the minor differences that do exist, with one exception: Pixel 10 Pro Fold maxes out at 3,000 nits of peak brightness, while Z Fold 7 only goes up to 2,600 nits. That could make a difference in broad daylight, so it's interesting that Google's figure is higher despite the lower starting price.</p><p>The same holds true of RAM, as Samsung's cheapest Z Fold 7 variant only has 12GB while every Pixel 10 Pro Fold has 16GB. It's possible that the Samsung foldable will still do better on benchmarking tests because of its chipset, and it's also possible (and even likely) that day-to-day performance on both devices is good enough for none of that to matter. Still, it's worth mentioning.</p><p>As is the difference in battery sizes. One big compromise Samsung made by going ultra-thin is that the battery in the Z Fold 7 is considerably smaller than the one in Pixel 10 Pro Fold. Real-world testing will have to wait for now, but the Z Fold 7 didn't last 24 hours under stress testing for our review. If Pixel 10 Pro Fold can surpass that, one could seriously argue that you're getting a better value by going with Google's foldable.</p><h3>AI features</h3><div class="eloquent-imagery-image">

  3095. <p>There's a decent amount of AI parity between these two devices, but major differences remain.</p><p>With the <a href="https://mashable.com/article/made-by-google-pixel-10-series-ai-features" target="_blank" data-ga-click="1" data-ga-label="$text" data-ga-item="text-link" data-ga-module="content_body">launch of the Pixel 10 line</a>, the Pro Fold can do live language translation during phone calls and offer users a personalized daily hub featuring important schedule reminders, a weather forecast, and more. Samsung's 2025 flagships can also do these things, so that's a bit of a wash. Both of these devices introduced the ability to drag and drop AI creations from one app to another during split-screen view (exclusive to foldables), so again, there isn't really a winner there.</p><p>Both phones also have some basic AI photo editing tricks, though Google's handset arguably goes further this year than Samsung's. On Pixel 10 devices, you can use text prompts to edit photos, which some people might find preferable to doing it themselves. The new Camera Coach feature also offers help on how to properly compose shots, though it remains to be seen exactly how well that works.</p><p>In summary, Google offers a bit more, but Samsung owners aren't missing out on that much.</p><h3>Cameras</h3><div class="eloquent-imagery-image">

  3106. <p>Here are the camera specs for Z Fold 7: </p><ul><li><p><strong>Rear lenses: 200MP wide, 12MP ultrawide, 10MP telephoto with 3x optical zoom</strong></p></li><li><p><strong>Front lenses: 10MP on both exterior and interior displays</strong></p></li></ul><p>And here's what you get on Pixel 10 Pro Fold: </p><ul><li><p><strong>Rear lenses: 48MP wide, 10.5MP ultrawide, 10.8MP telephoto with 5x optical zoom</strong></p></li><li><p><strong>Front lenses: 10MP on both exterior and interior displays</strong></p></li></ul><p>It's very difficult (or impossible) to directly compare these two camera arrays without having both devices on hand, though obviously Samsung's foldable having a 200MP main shooter certainly feels like a big advantage over the 48MP module on the Pixel 10 Pro Fold. Again, in practice, it's very possible that the Pixel takes better photos overall, but we can't prove that yet. </p><p>One thing Google does have is better optical zoom on the telephoto lens. Google's zoom lenses have been some of the strongest in the game for a few years now, while I've noticed plenty of imperfections with Samsung zoom shots over the same time period. </p><div class="flex flex-col mx-auto mt-8 mb-16 max-w-3xl font-sans md:flex-row pogoClear">

With 360-degree LiDAR mapping and Matrix Clean Navigation, Shark says that this vacuum charts your home in detail, moving in a precise grid to ensure no corner gets skipped.&nbsp;It aims to make multiple passes over each area, which means a deeper, more consistent clean compared to budget models that tend to zig-zag aimlessly.</p><p>For households with pets, the self-cleaning brushroll is designed to pull up hair without tangling, while powerful suction targets dirt from both hard floors and carpets. And because the XL self-emptying base can store up to 60 days of dust and debris, you won&rsquo;t be constantly fussing with emptying it &mdash; nor will you need to buy disposable bags as you would with models from rival brands.</p><p>Control is said to be refreshingly hands-off, too. You can set schedules, start an on-demand clean, or simply ask <a href="https://mashable.com/category/amazon-alexa" target="_blank" data-ga-click="1" data-ga-label="$text" data-ga-item="text-link" data-ga-module="content_body">Alexa</a> or <a href="https://mashable.com/category/google-assistant" target="_blank" data-ga-click="1" data-ga-label="$text" data-ga-item="text-link" data-ga-module="content_body">Google Assistant</a> to take care of it with voice commands. Add in extended runtime with Recharge and Resume, and the Shark Ultra is built to keep going until the job&rsquo;s done.</p><p>At just under $300, this is a rare chance to bring home a premium robot vacuum at an entry-level price. With smart navigation, voice control, and a two-month self-empty system, the Shark AI Ultra makes cleaning less of a chore and more of an afterthought.</p><p>If you&rsquo;re still browsing all the various cleaning options out there, we&rsquo;ve also got a list of the <a href="https://mashable.com/roundup/best-robot-vacuums" target="_blank" data-ga-click="1" data-ga-label="$text" data-ga-item="text-link" data-ga-module="content_body"><u>25+ best robot vacuums we&rsquo;ve tested</u></a> and that you can try as well.

Based on leaks and reports from the supply chain, the upcoming Series 11 <a href="https://www.macrumors.com/2025/08/13/apple-watch-s11-chip-info/" target="_blank" data-ga-click="1" data-ga-label="$text" data-ga-item="text-link" data-ga-module="content_body">looks like it will follow the same pattern</a>: another small, iterative update rather than a dramatic redesign.</p><div class="flex mx-auto mt-8 w-full max-w-3xl font-sans text-lg leading-normal md:text-xl md:leading-7">

  3478. <p>That doesn&rsquo;t mean the Series 11 won&rsquo;t be worth picking up. The Apple Watch remains one of the standard-bearers for wearable tech. But if you are holding out for something transformative, you may need to wait until the Series 12 in 2026, which is already rumored to bring bigger changes. For now, here&rsquo;s everything we know about the Apple Watch Series 11 ahead of Apple&rsquo;s September iPhone showcase.</p><h2>Apple Watch Series 11: Price</h2><p>So what&rsquo;s the damage for a relatively small upgrade? <a href="https://mashable.com/article/apple-watch-series-10-announcement-iphone-event-2024" target="_blank" data-ga-click="1" data-ga-label="$text" data-ga-item="text-link" data-ga-module="content_body">Based on pricing from previous years</a>, most outlets expect the Apple Watch Series 11 to start at $399 for the 42mm aluminum model and $429 for the larger 46mm version. As always, upgrades like stainless steel, sapphire glass, or LTE connectivity will push the price higher.</p><p>For now, <a href="https://mashable.com/article/apple-tariffs-1-billion-projection-tim-cook" target="_blank" data-ga-click="1" data-ga-label="$text" data-ga-item="text-link" data-ga-module="content_body">tariffs</a> aren&rsquo;t expected to influence the price of either the Watch or the iPhone lineup, though it&rsquo;s hard to rule that out entirely. Still, if Apple sticks to its usual playbook, the Series 11 will slide into the same price tiers as its predecessor, keeping it squarely in premium smartwatch territory.</p><h2>Apple Watch Series 11: Release</h2><p>Just like its pricing, Apple tends to follow a very predictable formula when it comes to product launches. The company almost never strays from it, and insiders expect this year&rsquo;s Apple Watch Series 11 <a href="https://mashable.com/article/apple-iphone-17-release-date-leaks" target="_blank" data-ga-click="1" data-ga-label="$text" data-ga-item="text-link" data-ga-module="content_body">unveiling to land on Tuesday, Sept. 9</a>. If that timeline holds, pre-orders would likely go live that Friday, Sept. 12, with devices hitting shelves the following Friday, Sept. 19.</p><p>Of course, nothing is official until Apple confirms it, but based on years of precedent, this release cadence is the safest bet. Consider it the most likely outcome for Apple&rsquo;s big September event.</p><h2>Apple Watch Series 11: Design and Display</h2><p><a href="https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2025/08/apple-corning-to-manufacture-all-iphone-apple-watch-cover-glass-in-kentucky/" target="_blank" data-ga-click="1" data-ga-label="$text" data-ga-item="text-link" data-ga-module="content_body">Apple has a new partnership with Corning</a>, meaning the glass on the Series 11 is officially American-made &mdash; a detail that&rsquo;ll no doubt get some extra play in marketing. Beyond that, the design itself is expected to stick with the slim, flat-edged look introduced on the Series 10. The real intrigue comes from rumors that Apple may switch the Series 11 to a <a href="https://www.tomsguide.com/wellness/smartwatches/apple-watch-x-could-get-a-battery-life-boost-thanks-to-this-display-breakthrough" target="_blank" data-ga-click="1" data-ga-label="$text" data-ga-item="text-link" data-ga-module="content_body">more energy-efficient LTPO or micro-LED display</a>, which would mark a shift away from OLED. That could mean a brighter screen with better battery life.</p><p>Bloomberg&rsquo;s Mark Gurman has also floated the idea of an <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/newsletters/2025-03-23/apple-aapl-explores-turning-watches-into-wearable-ai-devices-with-cameras-m8ll6mvy" target="_blank" data-ga-click="1" data-ga-label="$text" data-ga-item="text-link" data-ga-module="content_body">AI-powered onboard camera</a>, though even he suggests it&rsquo;s unlikely to appear until a future model &mdash; possibly the Series 12. Right now, no Apple Watch supports FaceTime video calls, so if and when that feature arrives, it&rsquo;ll be a marquee selling point. If Apple did surprise us with it this year, the camera would almost certainly be tucked discreetly into the watch&rsquo;s body. For now, though, all signs point to the Series 11 being a modest step forward, with the big swing still waiting in the wings.</p><div class="flex mx-auto mt-8 w-full max-w-3xl font-sans text-lg leading-normal md:text-xl md:leading-7">

  3485. <h2>Apple Watch Series 11: Hardware</h2><p>Under the hood, the Series 11 is expected to debut the aptly named S11 chip, though fans hoping for a major leap in performance may want to temper expectations. <a href="https://www.macrumors.com/2025/08/13/apple-watch-s11-chip-info/" target="_blank" data-ga-click="1" data-ga-label="$text" data-ga-item="text-link" data-ga-module="content_body">According to reporting from MacRumors</a>, Apple accidentally leaked details that revealed the S11 will use the same T8310 architecture found in the S9 and S10 chips that powered the Series 9 and Series 10.</p><p>That means the Series 11 is unlikely to deliver dramatic processor gains, instead leaning on efficiency tweaks and software optimization to keep things running smoothly. Still, while the tech may not be cutting-edge by Apple&rsquo;s standards, it remains more than powerful enough for a smartwatch.</p><h2>Apple Watch Series 11: watchOS 26 features and AI</h2><p>The Apple Watch Series 11 <a href="https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2025/06/watchos-26-delivers-more-personalized-ways-to-stay-active-and-connected/" target="_blank" data-ga-click="1" data-ga-label="$text" data-ga-item="text-link" data-ga-module="content_body">will ship with watchOS 26</a>, which introduces a new &ldquo;liquid glass&rdquo; UI and a suite of fresh health and productivity tools. Chief among them is Workout Buddy, an AI-powered evolution of Apple&rsquo;s Workout app that can give smarter feedback and adaptive coaching during exercise sessions. Apple is also still testing a context-aware Siri, which would allow the assistant to better understand what you&rsquo;re doing in the moment, <a href="https://www.macrumors.com/2025/03/11/apple-removes-siri-personal-context-reference/" target="_blank" data-ga-click="1" data-ga-label="$text" data-ga-item="text-link" data-ga-module="content_body">though it&rsquo;s unclear when that will come to fruition</a>. </p><p>On-device language translation is also slated to arrive with watchOS 26, letting travelers get instant translations without needing to tether to an iPhone.</p><p>Health features remain a big focus, with rumors that the <a href="https://mashable.com/article/apple-announces-blood-oxygen-is-back" target="_blank" data-ga-click="1" data-ga-label="$text" data-ga-item="text-link" data-ga-module="content_body">blood oxygen sensor could return</a> after being disabled in some regions due to regulatory issues. <a href="https://www.macrumors.com/2025/07/22/sleep-score-apple-watch-ios-26/" target="_blank" data-ga-click="1" data-ga-label="$text" data-ga-item="text-link" data-ga-module="content_body">New additions include Sleep Score</a>, which breaks down rest quality into a single metric, and hypertension detection, which could alert users to early signs of high blood pressure. <a href="https://www.macrumors.com/2025/08/08/apple-watch-series-11-rumor-recap/" target="_blank" data-ga-click="1" data-ga-label="$text" data-ga-item="text-link" data-ga-module="content_body">5G connectivity is also rumored</a>, further untethering the Watch from the iPhone. And while Apple is still working on the holy grail of non-invasive blood glucose tracking, that tech reportedly <a href="https://www.macrumors.com/2025/03/31/apple-watch-glucose-monitoring-feature/" target="_blank" data-ga-click="1" data-ga-label="$text" data-ga-item="text-link" data-ga-module="content_body">won&rsquo;t be ready in time for the Series 11</a> &mdash; it&rsquo;s something to look out for in future models.</p>]]></content:encoded>

  3511. <p>This is almost always a predominantly hardware-focused event. We know the new iPhones will run <a href="https://mashable.com/article/apple-wwdc-2025-ios-26-confirmed-whats-new-looks-design" target="_blank" data-ga-click="1" data-ga-label="$text" data-ga-item="text-link" data-ga-module="content_body">iOS 26</a>, which will almost certainly launch at or near the same time as the phones. Apple has already outlined what makes iOS 26 different at <a href="https://mashable.com/article/apple-wwdc-2025-news" target="_blank" data-ga-click="1" data-ga-label="$text" data-ga-item="text-link" data-ga-module="content_body">WWDC</a> earlier this year, but what about the devices it's designed for?</p><p>According to a <a href="https://mashable.com/article/iphone-17-news-rumors-leaks" target="_blank" data-ga-click="1" data-ga-label="$text" data-ga-item="text-link" data-ga-module="content_body">cornucopia of leaks and rumors</a>, we will get four iPhone 17 models this year: </p><ul><li><p><strong>iPhone 17</strong></p></li><li><p><strong>iPhone 17 Pro</strong></p></li><li><p><strong>iPhone 17 Pro Max</strong></p></li><li><p><strong>iPhone 17 Air </strong>(official name unknown)</p></li></ul><p>Three of those will be familiar to anyone who has followed along with iPhone developments over the past few years, but the Air is worth noting for a moment because it's a brand-new model that's replacing the Plus model that Apple used to make. </p><p>Per the <a href="https://mashable.com/article/iphone-17-air-rumours-apple" target="_blank" data-ga-click="1" data-ga-label="$text" data-ga-item="text-link" data-ga-module="content_body">latest iPhone 17 Air rumors</a>, this will be the thinnest iPhone yet, measuring between 5 and 6mm in thickness. It could also have a big display in the neighborhood of 6.5 inches, giving it a large surface area to go along with its thinness. Unfortunately, the new form factor is said to come with a couple of big compromises. Namely, there will only be one 48MP rear camera lens instead of the two or three you get on the other models. Another one is that the battery may be smaller to compensate for how thin the phone is.</p><p>According to various leaks, the new iPhones will get a 24MP selfie cam, an upgrade over the 12MP module on previous iPhones. Both the base model and the Air are also said to have 120Hz displays, which finally brings Apple in line with other smartphone manufacturers who got there years ago on non-flagship models. You can also expect at least a couple nifty software features exclusive to the new phones, though we'll have to wait and see what they actually are. </p><p>Speaking of which, expect the new iPhones to run <a href="https://mashable.com/article/best-ios-26-features-to-try-after-installing-beta" target="_blank" data-ga-click="1" data-ga-label="$text" data-ga-item="text-link" data-ga-module="content_body">iOS 26</a> out of the box. Apple's latest iOS release is one of the biggest in years, as it introduces a new "Liquid Glass" visual language where all of your app icons and other UI elements look like, well, liquid glass. The <a href="https://mashable.com/article/apple-wwdc-2025-imessage-updates" target="_blank" data-ga-click="1" data-ga-label="$text" data-ga-item="text-link" data-ga-module="content_body">Messages app</a> has gotten a big overhaul, especially where group chats are concerned; users can now set custom backgrounds and even run polls for the whole chat. </p><p>For some, the updated Photos app will be the biggest change of all. Apple streamlined it down to two tabs, "Library" and "Collections." One presumably contains all of your photos and videos, while the other shows you all the folders you've made.

  3522. <p>It's become tradition in recent years for Apple to provide <em>some</em> kind of Apple Watch update at this event, and this year seems to be no different.</p><p>According to <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-12-10/apple-plans-apple-watch-ultra-3-next-year-with-satellite-texting-and-5g?embedded-checkout=true" target="_blank" data-ga-click="1" data-ga-label="$text" data-ga-item="text-link" data-ga-module="content_body">Bloomberg</a>, there will be a new <strong>Apple Watch Ultra 3</strong> model with 5G support, a new processor, and the ability to send text messages via satellite. That could be handy for outdoorsy types. There will more than likely also be a standard <strong>Apple Watch Series 11</strong> and perhaps a new <strong>Apple Watch SE</strong> model for budget-minded folks, though it's not clear yet if those will offer any substantial, life-changing upgrades over previous models.</p><p>One thing to note is that <a href="https://www.macrumors.com/2025/08/13/apple-watch-s11-chip-info/" target="_blank" data-ga-click="1" data-ga-label="$text" data-ga-item="text-link" data-ga-module="content_body">recent leaks</a> suggest the new Apple Watch models won't have serious performance boosts over their predecessors. That might be disappointing to those looking to upgrade, but hey, maybe they'll save some money by waiting another year for bigger upgrades.</p><h2>New AirPods?</h2><div class="eloquent-imagery-image">

  3533. <p>This one is less certain, but there are reasons to believe there will be a new <strong>AirPods Pro 3</strong> at the September Apple event.</p><p>For starters, the last AirPods Pro refresh was two years ago, meaning it might be time for a glow-up. The second-gen AirPods Pro didn't provide much in the way of design changes, but <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2023-10-25/apple-airpods-plans-4th-generation-low-end-3rd-generation-pro-and-usb-c-max?embedded-checkout=true" target="_blank" data-ga-click="1" data-ga-label="$text" data-ga-item="text-link" data-ga-module="content_body">Bloomberg</a> reported a while back that the Pro model is getting a design refresh this year. They could also bring new health features like in-ear heart rate monitoring and temperature detection.</p><p>Interestingly, a <a href="https://mashable.com/article/ios-26-airpods-pro-language-translation-gesture" target="_blank" data-ga-click="1" data-ga-label="$text" data-ga-item="text-link" data-ga-module="content_body">recent slip of the tongue</a> in Apple's iOS 26 public beta suggested AirPods are getting real-time language translation features soon. It seems like this feature may work with previous-gen AirPods rather than being exclusive to the new AirPods Pro 3, but it's possible that the feature only works with iPhone 17 models. We'll have to wait and see.</p><h2>New Apple products we don't expect to see yet</h2><p>Everything listed above is at the very least <em>likely</em> to show up. It's hard to produce a new flagship product without <em>some </em>news leaking out. Unfortunately, not every upcoming Apple product is expected to be shown here.</p><p>Namely, it doesn't seem like the heavily rumored foldable iPhone is ready to make its debut just yet. <a href="https://mashable.com/article/foldable-apple-iphone-update" target="_blank" data-ga-click="1" data-ga-label="$text" data-ga-item="text-link" data-ga-module="content_body">Reports earlier this summer</a> indicated it is close to being production-worthy, but for a launch in 2026 at the earliest. There also haven't been any concrete rumors about new MacBooks, though in recent years those have typically gotten their own, separate announcement events, usually in October and the spring. </p><p>It would also be a surprise to hear anything about the <a href="https://mashable.com/article/apple-homepod-display-2025" target="_blank" data-ga-click="1" data-ga-label="$text" data-ga-item="text-link" data-ga-module="content_body">rumored new HomePod</a>, though that particular rumor mill has amped up recently. Per the latest news, we could get a <a href="https://mashable.com/article/apple-homepod-mini-apple-tv-release" target="_blank" data-ga-click="1" data-ga-label="$text" data-ga-item="text-link" data-ga-module="content_body">new HomePod and a new Apple TV</a> later in 2025.</p>]]></content:encoded>

The first round sees you trying to guess the word, with correct, misplaced, and incorrect letters shown in each guess. If you guess the correct answer, it'll take you to the next hurdle, providing the answer to the last hurdle as your first guess. This can give you several clues or none, depending on the words. For the final hurdle, every correct answer from previous hurdles is shown, with correct and misplaced letters clearly shown.</p><p>An important note is that the number of times a letter is highlighted from previous guesses does necessarily indicate the number of times that letter appears in the final hurdle. </p><p>If you find yourself stuck at any step of today's Hurdle, don't worry!

A laptop is a lifestyle choice &mdash; an extension of your very self &mdash; which means you need one that suits your life <em>and</em> your style. Indeed, your work and leisure (like streaming <a href="https://mashable.com/uk/roundup/best-vpn-netflix" data-ga-click="1" data-ga-label="$text" data-ga-item="text-link" data-ga-module="content_body">Netflix</a> and <a href="https://mashable.com/roundup/the-best-gaming-laptops" target="_blank" data-ga-click="1" data-ga-label="$text" data-ga-item="text-link" data-ga-module="content_body">laptop gaming</a>) will be vastly improved by the purchase of a slick, reliable, efficient laptop that's built for your needs. </p><p>It&rsquo;s not a decision you should make based on simply price or looks. Like everything in life, it's what's on the inside that counts. Laptop beginners may want something user-friendly and straightforward, while frequent travellers will need something that's light and long-lasting. Designers and gamers may seek top-notch 4K graphics and quick central processors. And <em>everybody</em> needs something that's won't break after a year. </p><p>If you're stuck on a decision, we can help. We're done the research and compiled a list of some of the best laptops available, along with some useful info. </p><h2>What are the best laptop brands?</h2><p>Apple reigns supreme as the most popular laptop manufacturer and its flagship models &mdash; such as the MacBook Pro and Air &mdash; regularly top lists of the very best laptops that money can buy. But it&rsquo;s far from the only option. The Microsoft Surface has impressed us since its launch, peaking &mdash; in our opinion &mdash; with the <a href="https://zdcs.link/aMJ2M4?pageview_type=RSS&template=roundup&module=content_body&element=offer&item=text-link&element_label=Microsoft%20Surface%207&object_type=roundup&object_uuid=04B06cSerlDNrqNfqvU5JbJ&short_url=aMJ2M4&u=https%3A%2F%2Fmashable.com%2Ffeeds%2Frss%2Fall" rel="sponsored"  title="(opens in a new window)" target="_blank" data-ga-click="1" data-ga-label="$text" data-ga-item="text-link" data-ga-module="content_body">Microsoft Surface 7</a>. </p><p>Elsewhere, HP offers a range of laptops that span price options and capabilities. Dell is another trusty and versatile manufacturer, with a laptop range including 2-in-1 models and dedicated <a href="https://mashable.com/uk/roundup/best-gaming-laptops-under-1000-uk" data-ga-click="1" data-ga-label="$text" data-ga-item="text-link" data-ga-module="content_body">gaming options</a>. Lenovo and Acer are also worth your attention.</p><h2>What are the best gaming laptops?</h2><p>If you&rsquo;re a hardcore gamer, you need a laptop that&rsquo;s built for gaming. Manufacturers such as Asus, <a href="https://zdcs.link/a5w2p5?pageview_type=RSS&template=roundup&module=content_body&element=offer&item=text-link&element_label=Razer&object_type=roundup&object_uuid=04B06cSerlDNrqNfqvU5JbJ&short_url=a5w2p5&u=https%3A%2F%2Fmashable.com%2Ffeeds%2Frss%2Fall" rel="sponsored"  title="(opens in a new window)" target="_blank" data-ga-click="1" data-ga-label="$text" data-ga-item="text-link" data-ga-module="content_body">Razer</a>, and <a href="https://zdcs.link/QOb83n?pageview_type=RSS&template=roundup&module=content_body&element=offer&item=text-link&element_label=Acer&object_type=roundup&object_uuid=04B06cSerlDNrqNfqvU5JbJ&short_url=QOb83n&u=https%3A%2F%2Fmashable.com%2Ffeeds%2Frss%2Fall" rel="sponsored"  title="(opens in a new window)" target="_blank" data-ga-click="1" data-ga-label="$text" data-ga-item="text-link" data-ga-module="content_body">Acer</a> produce laptops that are dedicated to gaming and handling the latest software, combining powerful CPU, GPU, and RAM specs for smooth, uninterrupted gameplay. You'll find an Asus option below.</p><h2>What are the most important laptop features?</h2><p>Not every laptop will suit everyone&rsquo;s needs. But there are important inner components that every laptop has and it&rsquo;s important to know what they are:</p><ul><li><p><strong>CPU</strong> &mdash; Also known as the the processor, this is the brain of the laptop. It controls and communicates with everything else. For general web-surfing, emails, and essay-writing, you won&rsquo;t need an all-singing, all-dancing CPU. But if you&rsquo;re a serious gamer, video editor, or graphic designer &mdash; or do anything that requires you running big-time software &mdash; look for a machine with a solid, up-to-the-minute CPU processor.</p></li><li><p><strong>Display</strong> &mdash; If you&rsquo;re a gamer or designer, a stunning, high-resolution display is absolutely essential. We recommend a HD 1080p resolution as a base level. Some laptops also have touchscreen capabilities, doubling up as laptop-tablet combos. This is one area where size does matter. Laptops built for gaming and creative work tend to have 15-inch displays but more portable laptops may be 13 or even 11 inches. </p></li><li><p><strong>GPU</strong> &mdash; The graphics processing unit, otherwise known as the graphics card. This is responsible for your laptop&rsquo;s visuals. Once again, the GPU will depend on your laptop activity. You might not need eye-popping graphics for answering emails or writing coursework, but for design work or &mdash; perhaps most importantly &mdash; rendering visuals in the latest games, choose a machine with the latest, supremely powerful GPU. </p></li><li><p><strong>RAM</strong> &mdash; This stands for random-access memory. It's for running various applications at the same time and using them as and when you need to access. (How many apps are open in your dock right now? That&rsquo;s all thanks to RAM.) This basically controls the speed and dexterity of your laptop. 8GB of RAM is a good starting point if you&rsquo;re a multitasker or do heavy-duty gaming and <a href="https://mashable.com/uk/roundup/best-laptops-for-business-uk" data-ga-click="1" data-ga-label="$text" data-ga-item="text-link" data-ga-module="content_body">creative work</a>.</p></li><li><p><strong>Storage</strong> &mdash; You&rsquo;ll notice that laptops usually come with one of two types of storage space &mdash; hard-disc drive (HDD) or a solid-state drive (SSD) storage. HDD is essentially a hunk of metal inside the machine that holds onto all your info. SSD stores the info on little flash-memory chips. A HDD typically holds more but it's slower than SSD. Premium and higher-ticket laptops usually come with SSD as standard. There are also cloud and external storage options, depending on your storage needs.</p></li></ul><h2>How much does a laptop cost?</h2><p>Just as there's a laptop specification to suit everyone, there's a price point too.

  3899. <p><em>Mario Kart </em>is one of the most iconic IPs out there, and no game of it is complete without absolutely crushing your opponents' hopes and dreams by hitting them with a well-timed shell. So, of course, Lego made sure that these karts could actually shoot from Yoshi's bike (or Donkey Kong, if you buy the additional building kit).

  3952. <p>For any <em>Star Wars </em>fans who don't have $850 to drop on the Millennium Falcon (more on that below), the <a href="https://zdcs.link/91jxkk?pageview_type=RSS&template=article&module=content_body&element=offer&item=text-link&element_label=BrickHeadz%20line&object_type=article&object_uuid=01dt0sm5QYnm0Bda4P5ECWj&short_url=91jxkk&u=https%3A%2F%2Fmashable.com%2Ffeeds%2Frss%2Fall" rel="sponsored"  title="(opens in a new window)" target="_blank" data-ga-click="1" data-ga-label="$text" data-ga-item="text-link" data-ga-module="content_body">BrickHeadz line</a> lets you show your love for the space opera at a much more accessible price point. My best friend's husband, Nick, exclusively owns <em>Star Wars</em> Lego, and has curated this collection of BrickHeadz over time. A set of two will run you $19.99, which is an excellent price for decorating your office space (as Nick so expertly demonstrates). In general, Nick appreciates that Lego's catalog is extensive enough that even if you stick to one type or IP from the brand, you still get plenty of options to choose from (and yes, this does guarantee I'll be bugging him for more <em>Star Wars </em>faves in the future).</p><div class="flex flex-col mx-auto mt-8 mb-16 max-w-3xl font-sans md:flex-row pogoClear">

  3984. <p>These happy plants are part of the popular Lego Botanicals series, a clear favorite of Mashable editors and readers alike, and in this case, another favorite pick from Werth. This Happy Plants set isn't one he owns just yet, but it <em>is </em>one that he's definitely keeping an eye on after spotting them in a Mashable cubicle and at a Lego booth during a toy expo. The mini dracaena and pilea plants are great for Lego beginners (or kids), or anyone else who might not have the bandwidth to put together 500+ pieces (if you fall into that category, beware of the last few picks on this list).</p><div class="flex flex-col mx-auto mt-8 mb-16 max-w-3xl font-sans md:flex-row pogoClear">

  4028. <p>Mashable contributor Lauren Allain bought this small but adorable Botanicals set for her partner's mom &mdash; someone who'd never built a set in her life. The verdict? "She loved it," Allain told me. At 373 pieces, it's intricate enough to result in a design that could genuinely work as house decor, while still being beginner-friendly. Plus, it's a nice next step from the Happy Plants if you still want to keep things simple and affordable.</p><div class="flex flex-col mx-auto mt-8 mb-16 max-w-3xl font-sans md:flex-row pogoClear">

  4058. <p>The Lego Orchid was one of the first from the Botanicals line to go properly viral, and it's no surprise as to why &mdash; it's gorgeous. Mashable's Haley Henschel uses it as a design piece in her home. It's as at home on a mantle as it is on a bookshelf or even a dining table. And it gets extra points for being an unkillable orchid. </p><div class="flex flex-col mx-auto mt-8 mb-16 max-w-3xl font-sans md:flex-row pogoClear">

  4090. <p>I knew I had to ask my friend Danica for her all-time favorites, as she is the proud owner of the first Lego set that made me audibly gasp: the <a href="https://zdcs.link/aNJdE3?pageview_type=RSS&template=article&module=content_body&element=offer&item=text-link&element_label=Typewriter&object_type=article&object_uuid=01dt0sm5QYnm0Bda4P5ECWj&short_url=aNJdE3&u=https%3A%2F%2Fmashable.com%2Ffeeds%2Frss%2Fall" rel="sponsored"  title="(opens in a new window)" target="_blank" data-ga-click="1" data-ga-label="$text" data-ga-item="text-link" data-ga-module="content_body">Typewriter</a> (you can actually use the keys &mdash; I know). While that set is sadly discontinued, she pointed to this Retro Radio as being another favorite, partially because she likes the vibe, partially because it can <em>actually play audio</em>. The sound brick in the build plays a selection of short audio settings, which is a nifty enough feature on its own for a $100 set. After completing the set, you can also open up the back and put your phone in the radio and play music off your own device &mdash; the Lego isn't technically playing it, but it's a cool feature if you want to pretend it is.</p><div class="flex flex-col mx-auto mt-8 mb-16 max-w-3xl font-sans md:flex-row pogoClear">

  4242. <p>Werth also spotted this set at a recent toy expo, and he says he's been obsessed ever since. At $269.99, this is a <em>Lord of the Rings</em> set priced for more diehard fans (though come to think of it, I'm not sure I've ever met a casual <em>LotR</em> fan). Whether you need another set to tide you over your post Balrog-book-nook-completion blues or simply love the Hobbitses and their home, this 2,017-piece set is sure to do the trick.</p><div class="flex flex-col mx-auto mt-8 mb-16 max-w-3xl font-sans md:flex-row pogoClear">

  4286. <p>Lego wasn't playing when it named this set the Mighty Bowser. For one, look at him. For two, it's 2,807 pieces, meaning it's built (or rather ready-to-be-built) for the fans who spent a good chunk of their childhood grinding Mario on the N64. Unsurprisingly, I sourced this selection from my friend Mitch, who is 100 percent one of those fans. When I asked him why this set stood out, he cited nostalgia, and to me, there is something beautiful about nostalgia taking the form of a giant, Lego Koopa king.</p><div class="flex flex-col mx-auto mt-8 mb-16 max-w-3xl font-sans md:flex-row pogoClear">

  4330. <p>Another Lego not <em>yet </em>owned is this grand piano. While I'm more of the Lego builder between my boyfriend and me, he's the musician &mdash; his instrument of choice being the piano. Knowing that one of his dreams is to one day own a grand piano, I figure this is more within my range of affordability, relatively speaking. While it's still expensive, it also has an impressive number of features and an incredible attention to detail. You can adjust the bench height, put the tiny sheet music on the stand, cover and uncover the keys, open up the side to see the inside, and of course, actually play the 25 keys, each of which is connected to its own hammer.</p><p>With the connected app, you can listen to the piano play a small selection of songs (and watch the keys move), or you can choose to play songs yourself &mdash; the song plays regardless of what keys you press, but it does play at the rate you press the keys. So yeah, this tiny Lego piano is $400, but for a piano lover, maybe it's worth the splurge.</p><div class="flex flex-col mx-auto mt-8 mb-16 max-w-3xl font-sans md:flex-row pogoClear">

  4418. <p>An $850 Lego set is not for the casual Lego fan, which is exactly why it's my brother's pride and joy (to be fair, he bought it at its original price of $799 &mdash; a real bargain). I'm 99 percent sure I've never seen my brother happier than when he was building this behemoth. For a long time, it lived near the entrance to my family's home (shortly after its initial residence on the kitchen table), and it was the conversation piece of every single person who visited. I've watched many a grown man drop his jaw at its presence. And they better &mdash; it is not only by far the most expensive set on this list, but one of the most expensive sets Lego has ever produced. </p><div class="eloquent-imagery-image">

  4429. <p>When I asked my brother if he thinks this set is worth $850, he texted back, "F-ck no! But it does look cool." Would he buy it all over again? "Yeah probably." And honestly, I get it. This set is beyond intricate, with its whopping 7,541 pieces allowing you not just to build the exterior structure of the iconic ship, but also some interior rooms, populated with characters from the original trilogy and recent sequels.</p><div class="flex flex-col mx-auto mt-8 mb-16 max-w-3xl font-sans md:flex-row pogoClear">

"This makes it hard for competitors of ChatGPT&rsquo;s generative AI chatbot and super apps powered by generative AI chatbots to scale and innovate."</p><h2>Will Musk and company beat Apple and OpenAI?</h2><p>Prior to the lawsuit, Musk <a href="https://mashable.com/article/elon-musk-sue-apple-xai-app-store-rankings" target="_blank" data-ga-click="1" data-ga-label="$text" data-ga-item="text-link" data-ga-module="content_body"><u>claimed</u></a> on his social media platform X that it was "impossible for any AI company besides OpenAI to reach #1 in the App Store."&nbsp;</p><blockquote class="twitterEmbed twitter-tweet">

The Community Note embedded on Musk's posts provides proof that OpenAI competitors like DeepSeek and Perplexity have all reached #1 in App Store, even after the Apple and OpenAI partnership was formed.</p><p>Even so, a recent antitrust decision may work in Musk's favor.

While there are differences between Apple's relationship with both companies, that case could become relevant here.</p><p>So, does Musk and xAI have a case here, or is he simply unhappy that <a href="https://helios-preview.mashable.com/article/grok-imagine-compared-veo-3-sora-midjourney" target="_blank" data-ga-click="1" data-ga-label="$text" data-ga-item="text-link" data-ga-module="content_body">his beloved Grok app</a> hasn't taken off like its AI competitors?

  4602. <p>While the glasses are pretty cool on their own, it's worth knowing exactly what you're getting with this bundle. Mashable's former Tech Editor, Kimberly Gedeon, gave the Beam Pro <a href="https://mashable.com/review/xreal-beam-pro" target="_blank" data-ga-click="1" data-ga-label="$text" data-ga-item="text-link" data-ga-module="content_body">a 3.3 out of 5 rating</a>, writing that it "still needs to be refined before it's ready for primetime." Our colleagues over at Mashable's sister site,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.pcmag.com/reviews/xreal-beam-pro" target="_blank" data-ga-click="1" data-ga-label="$text" data-ga-item="text-link" data-ga-module="content_body">PCMag,</a>&nbsp;also gave the Beam Pro a "Good" but not perfect 3.5-star review.</p><p>The main reason to get the Beam Pro is that it enables a head-tracking AR interface called NebulaOS, which PCMag's review says feels "much more natural" than standard screen mirroring because it keeps apps fixed in place as you move your head. The Beam Pro also has dual cameras that can capture 3D "spatial" photos and videos. Gedeon also noted a few "slam dunks," including the "fun 3D video capture" (which she called its "most badass feature"), a "satisfying" haptic keyboard, and a "shockingly long" battery life.</p><div class="flex mx-auto mt-8 w-full max-w-3xl font-sans text-lg leading-normal md:text-xl md:leading-7">

  4609. <p>Although there are some limitations with the Beam multitasking, the glasses themselves are still super impressive. If you&rsquo;ve been waiting to jump on the AR bandwagon, this deal offers the complete, albeit limited, package. At just $798, it&rsquo;s not a bad entry point.</p><p>The Xreal One Pro will be available in Best Buy stores later this year.</p><p class="mx-auto">

  4901. <p>If Peacock isn't running any sort of special rates, the best Peacock deal for most people on any given day is the annual subscription deal. While a monthly subscription will cost you $10.99 per month with ads ($131.88 per year) or $16.99 per month without ads ($203.88 per year), a yearly subscription will only cost you $109.99 or $169.99. That's about 17% in savings and breaks down to about 12 months of streaming for the price of 10.</p><h3>Best Peacock deal for Xfinity customers</h3><div class="flex flex-col mx-auto mt-8 mb-16 max-w-3xl font-sans md:flex-row pogoClear">

The movie star turned <em>It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia </em>savior is certainly best known for a long list of film and television appearances (including <em>Taxi</em>) that are outrageously, unforgettably funny. But he's also helmed such memorable movies as the whimsical <em>Matilda, </em>the twisted <em>Strangers on a Train </em>parody <em>Throw Momma from the Train, </em>the cruelly underrated Barney-inspired <a href="https://mashable.com/video/a-complete-unknown-ed-norton-death-to-smoochy-oscars" target="_blank" data-ga-click="1" data-ga-label="$text" data-ga-item="text-link" data-ga-module="content_body"><em><u>Death to Smoochy</u></em></a><em>, </em>and the hot comedy <em>The War of the Roses. </em>In fact, the shadow DeVito cast is so long that even as I discuss a remake of <em>The War of the Roses</em> that he has nothing to do with, I can't help but herald his contribution to comedy &mdash; in part because DeVito would never have given us <em>The Roses.&nbsp;</em></p><p>Look, on paper, <em>The Roses </em>sounds sensational.&nbsp;</p><p>Adapted from the same Warren Adler novel as DeVito's 1989 <em>The War of the Roses</em>, this modern screenplay is written by Tony McNamara, whose scripts for <em>The Favourite</em> and <em>Poor Things</em> earned him Oscar nominations and critical acclaim. Promisingly, <em>The Roses</em> reunites him with Olivia Colman, the Academy Award&ndash;winning comedic dark star of <em>The Favourite,</em> and an actress who's been cracking this critic up since the British series <em>Peep Show. </em>And she's paired opposite Benedict Cumberbatch, who is less known for comedy but has been mixing it up with films like <a href="https://mashable.com/article/the-phoenician-scheme-review" target="_blank" data-ga-click="1" data-ga-label="$text" data-ga-item="text-link" data-ga-module="content_body"><em><u>The Phoenician Scheme</u></em></a><em> </em>and <em>The Grinch</em>.&nbsp;</p><p>Adding a generous slathering of comedy chops, the supporting cast is stacked with the likes of Andy Samberg, Kate McKinnon, Allison Janney, Sunita Mani, Ncuti Gatwa, Jamie Demetriou, and Zo&euml; Chao. <em>The Roses </em>should be wall-to-wall laughs, ranging from giggles to guffaws to shocked gasps.&nbsp;</p><p>And yet, this just isn't all that funny. I blame director Jay Roach.&nbsp;</p><h2><em>The Roses </em>isn't funny or ferocious enough.&nbsp;</h2><div class="eloquent-imagery-image">

  5173. <p>DeVito's <em>The War of the Roses </em>is framed as a parable against divorce, told by the director himself, who plays the central couple's friend and a divorce attorney who serves as a sage narrator across the decades-long rise and fall of the Roses. From the start, McNamara's approach goes for something different by introducing a framing voiceover by the Roses themselves, Ivy (Colman) and Theo (Cumberbatch). In singsong voices, they reflect on how the film will end (true to the first movie), but with a surprisingly upbeat attitude. While there will be a twist on this voiceover's context, this chipper change does reflect the overall tonal shift from the biting 1989 version and the bizarrely bouncy 2025 remake.&nbsp;</p><p>The general plot is the same: Theo was once the breadwinner of their household, while his wife, a baking genius who could make amazing culinary constructions modeled after landmarks, cared for their two kids &mdash;&nbsp;who have gotten too chubby for Theo's liking. When his career takes an unexpected downturn, hers is on the rise! And resentments grow. He takes on raising their kids, turning them away from sweets and toward sprints. She is working long hours and experiencing an adult world that feels increasingly distant from Theo. When divorce comes, it's acrimonious, and centered on who will get their dream house.&nbsp;</p><p>The new twist here is that the husband is an architect who built his dream house with the profits from his wife's restaurants. So, Theo doesn't want to give up his masterpiece, and she &mdash;&nbsp;bitter over the split &mdash;&nbsp;doesn't want to give him it exactly because he wants it. (In DeVito's, the husband was a lawyer whose wife bought and led the renovations on their home, which he paid for.) An increasingly immature series of pranks becomes increasingly dangerous, and even deadly. And while some dialogue and certain ploys at revenge hit hard, many of the jokes don't land.

  5184. <p>To Roach's credit, he succeeds in establishing Ivy and Theo as a couple once ravenously in love. The scene of their first meeting feels exciting and hot, climaxing with the pair rushing into a restaurant's freezer for a quickie before they've even shared their names. This irreverence for common decorum surfaces throughout the film, reflecting a shared impulsiveness as they exchange barbs brutal but funny even to each other, or ditch a dull dinner party by faking an utterly bizarre emergency.&nbsp;</p><p>Cumberbatch and Colman have solid chemistry in such scenes, and both have the devastating intensity to make McNamara's most stinging lines land. But the tone that Roach offers is just achingly middle-of-the-road. Punches feel pulled at nearly every turn. A mean comment is almost immediately undercut by an emotional catharsis, be it a burst of screaming or a jaunty justification.&nbsp;</p><p>Roach's <em>Roses</em> lacks the gothic flair of DeVito's, which had its stars perform with an almost soap opera-like theatricality as they spat invectives against a rollicking musical score, which played like a storm brewing. By contrast, Roach's tone is broader, in the vein of his hits like <em>Meet the Parents </em>or his similarly lackluster remake <em>Dinner for Schmucks. </em>The flare, daffiness, and daring he brought to <em>Austin Powers </em>is long behind him. And <em>The Roses </em>is the worse for its absence.&nbsp;</p><p>Not until the final act do the Roses amp up their war to the blisteringly comic levels teased in the trailer, and by then it feels too little too late in terms of verve or style. Worse still, the transition from bouncy American comedy with occasional mean jokes feels downright jarring when it comes to the point where they're actually aiming to kill each other. Rather than the inevitable path DeVito's lawyer once warned us of, this last act of <em>The Roses</em> just feels like we've walked into a different movie altogether.&nbsp;</p><h2>Kate McKinnon is woefully miscast in <em>The Roses.&nbsp;</em></h2><div class="eloquent-imagery-image">

  5195. <p>Throughout the film. Roach seems to regret taking on a dark comedy, peppering his cast with comedians far more known for goofiness than wilting wit. Samberg is in the DeVito role of the husband's friend/lawyer, but is saddled with a barrage of cliched asides about the "inertia" of marriage. Even his signature warmth and silliness can't shake off the cobwebs of such dusty jokes.&nbsp;</p><p>His partner onscreen is fellow <em>SNL </em>alum McKinnon, who, though she was a wondrous <a href="https://mashable.com/article/weird-barbie-doll-kate-mckinnon-preorder-mattel" target="_blank" data-ga-click="1" data-ga-label="$text" data-ga-item="text-link" data-ga-module="content_body"><u>scene-stealer in <em>Barbie</em></u></a><em>, </em>is actually exhausting here, beating a one-note joke into the ground. As a horny wifey, she wants to bang Cumberbatch's Theo. It's her only character trait besides being awkward. And whether it's flirtations that are vaguely threatening or done in front of her husband as brazen emasculation, they just aren't funny, even in a cringe sensibility. Yet Roach treats this thread like rich terrain, endlessly giving McKinnon screen time to flirt clumsily, but never hilariously.&nbsp;</p><p>Other comedic talents are likewise misused. Sunita Mani (<em>Death of a Unicorn</em>) and Ncuti Gatwa (<em>Doctor Who</em>) have bit parts as Ivy's loyal sous chef and head waiter, mugging possibly more often than they actually get lines. Jamie Demetriou, a master of offbeat comedy, and Zo&euml; Chao, who shined in <em>The Afterparty</em>, get only a couple of scenes as an annoying couple who can't read social cues.&nbsp;</p><p>The only scene where supporting players bring the heat this comedy desperately needs is when Allison Janney and Samberg face off in a scene that's very reminiscent of <em>A Marriage Story</em>. Samberg is the bumbling male attorney cowed by the ferocious female lawyer, who is equal amounts vicious and step-on-my-neck sexy as hell. Janney is perfectly cast and makes a meal out of every diva-like line. Joan&nbsp; Crawford would be proud.&nbsp;</p><h2><em>The Roses </em>lacks thorns and pricks.&nbsp;</h2><p>While Cumberbatch is committed, Colman is a heavier hitter when it comes to nasty comedy. His cutting remarks score the occasional chuckle, but hers land like you'd expect from a royal bitch (like her queen in <em>The Favourite</em>) &mdash; devastating and regal. In these moments, we see a glimpse of what this <em>could </em>have been for <em>The Roses</em>. But Roach seems scared of giving his audience some truly detestable characters, so at every turn their bitterness is undercut by sidekicks yukking it up or an earnest attempt to even the scales with a new emotional twist or revealed vulnerability. All this softening blunts the cutting comedy that was the dark heart of DeVito's <em>The War of the Roses</em> (no, I never read the book). And here, it feels less dark and more a tad saucy.&nbsp;</p><p>A comedy about a couple gone so toxic that they're actively competing to murder each other over their dream house should be more dynamic, darker, and damned funny. <em>The Roses </em>by any other name would still be a middling comedy, but compared to the caustic and sexy '89 gem? It can't shine.&nbsp;</p><p><a href="https://zdcs.link/Qp7WyY?pageview_type=RSS&template=article&module=content_body&element=offer&item=text-link&element_label=The%20Roses%20opens%20in%20theaters%20Aug.%2028.&object_type=article&object_uuid=0494i0ghrytgd3OrEk1K5H6&short_url=Qp7WyY&u=https%3A%2F%2Fmashable.com%2Ffeeds%2Frss%2Fall" rel="sponsored"  title="(opens in a new window)" target="_blank" data-ga-click="1" data-ga-label="$text" data-ga-item="text-link" data-ga-module="content_body"><em>The Roses </em>opens in theaters Aug. 28.</a></p>]]></content:encoded>

  5234. <p>Movie lovers, you're doing yourself a disservice if you aren't a MUBI subscriber. Unlike <a href="https://mashable.com/category/netflix" target="_blank" data-ga-click="1" data-ga-label="$text" data-ga-item="text-link" data-ga-module="content_body">Netflix</a> or <a href="https://mashable.com/category/hulu" target="_blank" data-ga-click="1" data-ga-label="$text" data-ga-item="text-link" data-ga-module="content_body">Hulu</a>, MUBI is specifically built for cinephiles. The library is brimming with hand-picked quality cinema and &mdash; for a limited time &mdash;&nbsp;it'll cost you less than $5 per month.</p><p>As of Aug. 25, new (and returning) subscribers can <a href="https://zdcs.link/9Z1x5R?pageview_type=RSS&template=article&module=content_body&element=offer&item=text-link&element_label=score%20six%20months%20of%20MUBI%20for%20just%20%244.50%20per%20month&object_type=article&object_uuid=02Vprc8xYGyBMNt5gEAtPHJ&short_url=9Z1x5R&u=https%3A%2F%2Fmashable.com%2Ffeeds%2Frss%2Fall" rel="sponsored"  title="(opens in a new window)" target="_blank" data-ga-click="1" data-ga-label="$text" data-ga-item="text-link" data-ga-module="content_body">score six months of MUBI for just $4.50 per month</a>. That's 180 days of streaming for a grand total of just $27. Usually $14.99, that saves you about 70% or $10.49 monthly. Once the six-month promotional period ends, the price will jump back up to $14.99, but you can always cancel before then to avoid the charge. Just imagine how many movies you can fit into a six-month window.</p><p>MUBI showcases an array of films from America and abroad, mainstream and independent, classics, new releases, award winners, and Mubi originals &mdash; like recent Oscar nominee <a href="https://mashable.com/article/the-substance-review" target="_blank" data-ga-click="1" data-ga-label="$text" data-ga-item="text-link" data-ga-module="content_body"><em>The Substance</em></a>.

Streaming deals this good don't tend to stick around long.</p>]]></content:encoded>

  5439. <h3>Why we like it</h3><p>If you tend to sleep hot, it might not matter that the weather outside is cooling - you'll still overheat. If that sounds familiar, check out the <a href="https://zdcs.link/zjpZG1?pageview_type=RSS&template=article&module=content_body&element=offer&item=text-link&element_label=DreamCloud%20Hybrid%20Premier%20mattress&object_type=article&object_uuid=07KGk3MQZu25B02vlfUCSFk&short_url=zjpZG1&u=https%3A%2F%2Fmashable.com%2Ffeeds%2Frss%2Fall" rel="sponsored"  title="(opens in a new window)" target="_blank" data-ga-click="1" data-ga-label="$text" data-ga-item="text-link" data-ga-module="content_body">DreamCloud Hybrid Premier mattress</a> with a cooling design and chill materials. During the brand's Labor Day sale, you can snag the queen-size bed with a mattress protector, sheet set, and two cooling pillows for $999, instead of the list price of the bundle which is a massive $2,313. In total, you'll be saving $1,314.</p><p>The <a href="https://mashable.com/review/dreamcloud-premier-hybrid" target="_blank" data-ga-click="1" data-ga-label="$text" data-ga-item="text-link" data-ga-module="content_body">DreamCloud Hybrid Premier</a> is pretty awesome for all sleep styles, excelling in keeping sleepers cool, and great for couples thanks to the bed's motion isolation. While it doesn't come with a premium price tag, the DreamCloud <em>feels </em>like a luxury hotel mattress that should cost much, much more. And thanks to this bundle deal, you'll have everything you need for a full sleep reset this fall.</p><h3>More Labor Day mattress and bedding deals</h3><ul><li><p><a href="https://zdcs.link/zEg3bX?pageview_type=RSS&template=article&module=content_body&element=offer&item=text-link&element_label=Brooklinen&object_type=article&object_uuid=07KGk3MQZu25B02vlfUCSFk&short_url=zEg3bX&u=https%3A%2F%2Fmashable.com%2Ffeeds%2Frss%2Fall" rel="sponsored"  title="(opens in a new window)" target="_blank" data-ga-click="1" data-ga-label="$text" data-ga-item="text-link" data-ga-module="content_body">Brooklinen</a>: Take up to 75% off sheets and pillowcase sets</p></li><li><p><a href="https://zdcs.link/9Z5MXD?pageview_type=RSS&template=article&module=content_body&element=offer&item=text-link&element_label=Brooklyn%20Bedding&object_type=article&object_uuid=07KGk3MQZu25B02vlfUCSFk&short_url=9Z5MXD&u=https%3A%2F%2Fmashable.com%2Ffeeds%2Frss%2Fall" rel="sponsored"  title="(opens in a new window)" target="_blank" data-ga-click="1" data-ga-label="$text" data-ga-item="text-link" data-ga-module="content_body">Brooklyn Bedding</a>: Take 25% off sitewide</p></li><li><p><a href="https://zdcs.link/aNJweE?pageview_type=RSS&template=article&module=content_body&element=offer&item=text-link&element_label=Casper&object_type=article&object_uuid=07KGk3MQZu25B02vlfUCSFk&short_url=aNJweE&u=https%3A%2F%2Fmashable.com%2Ffeeds%2Frss%2Fall" rel="sponsored"  title="(opens in a new window)" target="_blank" data-ga-click="1" data-ga-label="$text" data-ga-item="text-link" data-ga-module="content_body">Casper</a>: Take up to 30% off on mattresses</p></li><li><p><a href="https://zdcs.link/zjpnre?pageview_type=RSS&template=article&module=content_body&element=offer&item=text-link&element_label=Helix&object_type=article&object_uuid=07KGk3MQZu25B02vlfUCSFk&short_url=zjpnre&u=https%3A%2F%2Fmashable.com%2Ffeeds%2Frss%2Fall" rel="sponsored"  title="(opens in a new window)" target="_blank" data-ga-click="1" data-ga-label="$text" data-ga-item="text-link" data-ga-module="content_body">Helix</a>: Take 25% sitewide with code LDW25</p></li><li><p><a href="https://zdcs.link/av4WdW?pageview_type=RSS&template=article&module=content_body&element=offer&item=text-link&element_label=Nectar&object_type=article&object_uuid=07KGk3MQZu25B02vlfUCSFk&short_url=av4WdW&u=https%3A%2F%2Fmashable.com%2Ffeeds%2Frss%2Fall" rel="sponsored"  title="(opens in a new window)" target="_blank" data-ga-click="1" data-ga-label="$text" data-ga-item="text-link" data-ga-module="content_body">Nectar</a>: Save up to 50% on mattresses and 60% on bundles</p></li><li><p><a href="https://zdcs.link/aNJw2G?pageview_type=RSS&template=article&module=content_body&element=offer&item=text-link&element_label=Purple&object_type=article&object_uuid=07KGk3MQZu25B02vlfUCSFk&short_url=aNJw2G&u=https%3A%2F%2Fmashable.com%2Ffeeds%2Frss%2Fall" rel="sponsored"  title="(opens in a new window)" target="_blank" data-ga-click="1" data-ga-label="$text" data-ga-item="text-link" data-ga-module="content_body">Purple</a>: Take up to $800 off on a mattress and base, plus up to 30% off bedding and pillows</p></li></ul>]]></content:encoded>

  5665. <p>That said, that doesn't mean this year is bereft of surprises or big changes. Numerous leaks and rumors point to an ultra-thin model, potentially <a href="https://mashable.com/article/iphone-17-air-rumours-apple" target="_blank" data-ga-click="1" data-ga-label="$text" data-ga-item="text-link" data-ga-module="content_body">called the iPhone 17 Air</a>. The Air could replace the Plus model that used to grace the iPhone lineup for the past few years, so instead of getting a bigger version of the base model, we'll get something that has an identity of its own. </p><p>We don't know exactly how big the Air will be, but leaks suggest it will measure in somewhere between 5 and 6mm of thickness. That would make it Apple's slimmest iPhone yet, putting it in competition with the recently released <a href="https://mashable.com/review/samsung-galaxy-s25-edge" target="_blank" data-ga-click="1" data-ga-label="$text" data-ga-item="text-link" data-ga-module="content_body">Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge</a>, a 5.8mm thick device. </p><h3>iPhone 17 release date</h3><p>For the past few iPhone launches, Apple has stuck with a rough "second week of September" time frame for its big, livestreamed announcement event. Thus, the week of Sept. 8 is one to watch this year, specifically Tuesday, Sept. 9. It would not be a surprise at all if Apple chose that date to give us the goods. </p><p><a href="https://9to5mac.com/2025/07/09/iphone-17-release-date-heres-when-to-expect-apples-big-launch/" target="_blank" data-ga-click="1" data-ga-label="$text" data-ga-item="text-link" data-ga-module="content_body">9to5Mac</a> also pointed out that Apple always places the official release date of each new iPhone on the Friday of the week after the launch event, so keep an eye on Friday, Sept. 19 for the phone's official <a href="https://mashable.com/article/apple-iphone-17-release-date-leaks" target="_blank" data-ga-click="1" data-ga-label="$text" data-ga-item="text-link" data-ga-module="content_body">release date</a>.</p><p>Over at <a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/davidphelan/2025/08/13/apple-iphone-17-release-date-new-date-enters-the-schedule/" target="_blank" data-ga-click="1" data-ga-label="$text" data-ga-item="text-link" data-ga-module="content_body">Forbes</a>, reporter David Phelan recently made two more predictions about the iPhone 17 release. He also predicts a Sept. 9 announcement, but adds that Apple will likely confirm the date on Tuesday, Aug. 26. What's more, he predicts the <a href="https://mashable.com/article/apple-ios-26-beta-live" target="_blank" data-ga-click="1" data-ga-label="$text" data-ga-item="text-link" data-ga-module="content_body">new iOS 26 update</a> will officially arrive on Monday, Sept. 15 or Tuesday, Sept. 16.</p><h3>iPhone 17 lineup: The specs</h3><p>Obviously, we won't see the full spec sheet for these phones until the second week of September, so none of this is certain. But we have a rough idea of what to expect from these phones.</p><p>Let's start with the displays. Prolific leaker Ice Universe (via <a href="https://9to5mac.com/2024/07/22/iphone-17-rumors-display-sizes-specs/" target="_blank" data-ga-click="1" data-ga-label="$text" data-ga-item="text-link" data-ga-module="content_body">9to5Mac</a>) reported all the way back in July 2024 that these would be the approximate display sizes for each new iPhone:</p><ul><li><p><strong>iPhone 17: 6.3-inch</strong></p></li><li><p><strong>iPhone 17 Pro: 6.3-inch</strong></p></li><li><p><strong>iPhone 17 Pro Max: 6.7-inch</strong></p></li><li><p><strong>iPhone 17 Air: 6.65-inch</strong></p></li></ul><p>Perhaps the most exciting rumor (at least for me, so far) that's emerged about these new phones is that both the iPhone 17 and 17 Air will reportedly feature 120Hz displays, per <a href="https://www.macrumors.com/2024/09/20/iphone-17-and-17-air-120hz-promotion-rumor/" target="_blank" data-ga-click="1" data-ga-label="$text" data-ga-item="text-link" data-ga-module="content_body">MacRumors</a>. Apple has frustratingly limited high refresh rates to its Pro phones for a few years now, even as budget Android phones like the <a href="https://mashable.com/review/google-pixel-9a" target="_blank" data-ga-click="1" data-ga-label="$text" data-ga-item="text-link" data-ga-module="content_body">Pixel 9a</a> have had that feature for years. This would be a massive upgrade for Apple and would make the base and Air models even more appealing.</p><p>It's also expected that the new iPhones will have new A19 chips inside them. As in previous years, the base model will likely have a regular A19 chip, while the Pro and Pro Max models will have a more powerful A19 Pro chip powering them. Leaker <a href="https://weibo.com/5821279480/PzXj5sM8I" target="_blank" data-ga-click="1" data-ga-label="$text" data-ga-item="text-link" data-ga-module="content_body">Fixed focus digital on Weibo</a> suggested the Air model will have a slightly downgraded version of the A19 Pro chip instead of a base A19, potentially giving it some additional juice over the base iPhone 17. </p><h3>What about the cameras?</h3><div class="eloquent-imagery-image">

  5676. <p>Again, we won't know the full, precise camera specs for the new iPhones until September, but there are some leaks to go off of for now.</p><p>Perhaps the biggest potential development this year is a <a href="https://9to5mac.com/2025/01/10/both-iphone-17-pro-models-will-get-all-48mp-sensors-says-leaker-24mp-front-camera/" target="_blank" data-ga-click="1" data-ga-label="$text" data-ga-item="text-link" data-ga-module="content_body">selfie cam upgrade</a> for the new iPhones. It sounds like they'll have 24MP selfie lenses, up from 12MP on previous models. We'll have to wait and see how that actually manifests in practice, but hey, a larger number is nice.</p><p>It also sounds like the Pro models will have a trio of 48MP lenses this time. Last year, the telephoto lens was only 12MP, so that could potentially be a big step up. One last thing to note is that the Air model will supposedly only have one rear camera, similar to the old <a href="https://mashable.com/review/apple-iphone-se-3" target="_blank" data-ga-click="1" data-ga-label="$text" data-ga-item="text-link" data-ga-module="content_body">iPhone SE</a> and <a href="https://mashable.com/review/apple-iphone-16e-review" target="_blank" data-ga-click="1" data-ga-label="$text" data-ga-item="text-link" data-ga-module="content_body">iPhone 16e</a> models. No ultra-wide or telephoto shots for Air users, unfortunately.</p><h3>The iPhone 17 colors</h3><p>Leaker <a href="https://x.com/SonnyDickson/status/1950325609957380405" target="_blank" data-ga-click="1" data-ga-label="$text" data-ga-item="text-link" data-ga-module="content_body">Sonny Dixon</a> recently posted some photos of iPhone 17 dummy models that purported to show the <a href="https://mashable.com/article/iphone-17-pro-orange" target="_blank" data-ga-click="1" data-ga-label="$text" data-ga-item="text-link" data-ga-module="content_body">color options</a> for this year's new models.</p><blockquote class="twitterEmbed twitter-tweet">

  5682. <p>Perhaps the most striking one is a new orange color for the Pro models, which is definitely eye-catching, if nothing else. The Pro models also appear to have regular black, white, and dark blue options for people who want something a little less exciting.</p><p>Weirdly, the base model and Air seem to have less exciting color options this year than the Pro phones. In the photos, the base model appears in black, white, light blue, and pink. The Air, meanwhile, comes in black, white, beige, and light blue.</p><h2>What about the iPhone Fold?</h2><p>The as-yet-unnamed foldable iPhone, which tech reporters simply call the <a href="https://mashable.com/article/foldable-apple-iphone-update" target="_blank" data-ga-click="1" data-ga-label="$text" data-ga-item="text-link" data-ga-module="content_body">iPhone Fold</a>, is rumored to be ready to enter production soon, but not for a 2025 release date. The most recent rumors point to a 2026 launch for Apple's long-awaited <a href="https://mashable.com/article/foldable-phones-2025" target="_blank" data-ga-click="1" data-ga-label="$text" data-ga-item="text-link" data-ga-module="content_body">foldable phone</a>, which will reportedly be made with Samsung display technology. </p><p>So, unless Apple has a huge surprise up its sleeve, we won't see a foldable iPhone until the launch of the iPhone 18 in 2026.</p><p>As for the specs, the iPhone Fold is shaping up to be exactly what you thought it'd be: An iPhone that transforms into a sort of an iPad mini. As of Aug. 25, the latest rumors say the <a href="https://mashable.com/article/foldable-iphone-cameras-touch-id" target="_blank" data-ga-click="1" data-ga-label="$text" data-ga-item="text-link" data-ga-module="content_body">iPhone Fold will have four cameras</a>. In addition, leakers say it will have Touch ID instead of Face ID, and no SIM card.</p><h2>Apple iOS 26: How will it change the way we use the iPhone?</h2><div class="eloquent-imagery-image">

  5693. <p>Here's something we do know a lot about: Apple's iOS 26. It's not officially out yet for the wider public, as it's scheduled to launch alongside new iPhones in September, but we've tried and tested a number of different <a href="https://mashable.com/article/best-ios-26-features-to-try-after-installing-beta" target="_blank" data-ga-click="1" data-ga-label="$text" data-ga-item="text-link" data-ga-module="content_body">beta versions</a>, both developer and public ones.</p><p>One thing is certain: Apple didn't change the naming scheme by accident. It's the nineteenth major release of Apple's mobile platform, and as it follows iOS 18, it should logically be called iOS 19. But Apple decided to switch to naming its iOS releases by year, and since this one covers a big chunk of 2026, it was thus named iOS 26. </p><p>There's more to it, though. Apple's iOS 26 brings a number of major changes to the platform, including the new, <a href="https://mashable.com/article/apple-iphone-ios-26-liquid-glass-clear-look-how-to" target="_blank" data-ga-click="1" data-ga-label="$text" data-ga-item="text-link" data-ga-module="content_body">Liquid Glass design</a>, a big overhaul of the Photos app, and various Apple Intelligence updates, including Live Translation and a smarter Siri. It's not a radical departure from the previous iOS (Apple doesn't really do radical departures), but it is a very notable upgrade. </p><p>Currently, iOS 26 is in its beta 7 iteration, meaning it's quite mature and likely very similar to what we'll see when the final version launches in September. Still, we'll be on the lookout for any new features and upgrades once that happens. </p><h2>What else could we get at the Apple event in September?</h2><p>In addition to the iPhone 17, we fully expect Apple to drop new versions of the AirPods Pro and Apple Watch. But there could also be some surprises in store, as Apple is reportedly working on a <a href="https://mashable.com/article/apple-homepod-mini-apple-tv-release" target="_blank" data-ga-click="1" data-ga-label="$text" data-ga-item="text-link" data-ga-module="content_body">new HomePod and Apple TV devices for 2025</a> as well. Finally, expect a ton of announcements related to Apple Intelligence, the name for Apple's artificial intelligence features.</p><div class="flex mx-auto mt-8 w-full max-w-3xl font-sans text-lg leading-normal md:text-xl md:leading-7">

With this sale price, the value gets even better, bringing the per-tracker price down to $17.50.</p><p>Apple's Bluetooth trackers use the enabled Find My devices to help track its location, meaning you're not just bound by the range to your own devices. As with most products within the Apple ecosystem, AirTags are also easy to set up. While they're not compatible with Android devices and require the purchase of a key ring or lanyard, they are a great tracker for Apple users, and at this price point, they're a great value, too.</p>]]></content:encoded>

What was supposed to be a romantic getaway becomes a group hang, where sexual tension and romantic rivalries begin to flare. But the bigger issue seems to be that half of these vacationers are interested in playing a twisted game that could mean life or death. </p><p>Maddie Hasson, Alex Roe, Andra Nechita, and Marco Pigossi star. </p><p><a href="https://zdcs.link/9l36JR?pageview_type=RSS&template=video&module=content_body&element=offer&item=text-link&element_label=Bone%20Lake%20opens%20in%20theaters%20nationwide%20on%20Oct.%203.&object_type=video&object_uuid=01CvdFR4zW0u0eQq5oUZ4fw&short_url=9l36JR&u=https%3A%2F%2Fmashable.com%2Ffeeds%2Frss%2Fall" rel="sponsored"  title="(opens in a new window)" target="_blank" data-ga-click="1" data-ga-label="$text" data-ga-item="text-link" data-ga-module="content_body"><em>Bone Lake </em>opens in theaters nationwide on Oct. 3. </a></p>]]></content:encoded>

Then, in the final scene of the film, the phrase is revisited when Zoey, Mira, and Rumi chant it together in anticipation of a much-deserved rest after saving humanity from a demon invasion. But hey, that'll come <em>after </em>some time with their beloved fans. </p><p>Of course, for<a href="https://mashable.com/article/k-pop-demon-hunters-huntrix-arden-cho-may-hong-jiyoung-yoo-interview" target="_blank" data-ga-click="1" data-ga-label="$text" data-ga-item="text-link" data-ga-module="content_body"> <em>KPop Demon Hunters </em>fans</a>, this mantra has its own meaning.

  5884. <p>While the <em>Gears of War: Reloaded</em> release date is Aug. 26, you might be wondering when exactly it'll be playable. The good news is that it's launching everywhere at the same time instead of rolling out regionally. <em>Gears of War: Reloaded</em> will be online and ready to go at 8 a.m. PT (11 a.m. ET) on Tuesday.</p><div class="mx-auto mt-8 w-full max-w-4xl">

  5889. <p>I realize a video game from 20 years ago is essentially boomer territory at this point, so a history lesson may be in order. </p><p><em>Gears of War</em> was one of the first big exclusive Xbox 360 games, giving that console a premium multiplayer shooter a year before <em>Halo 3</em> (which was considered the main event at the time) was ready. It was made by Epic Games, a studio that used to make things other than <em>Fortnite</em>, once upon a time. <em>Gears</em> helped usher in the era of cover-based shooters, where you could snap your character to level geometry with the press of a button, giving you the ability to face down enemies and devise a strategy without taking damage.</p><p>Of course, other developers ran with this, and it felt like every other video game was a generic brown-and-grey cover shooter for a few years in the late 2000s and early 2010s. But <em>Gears</em> was always a cut above the rest, especially with its excellent cooperative campaign modes. And now, it's on PlayStation. Life finds a way.</p><p>Best of all, you can purchase the remastered <em>Gears of War: Reloaded</em> for PS5 for only $39.</p><div class="flex flex-col mx-auto mt-8 mb-16 max-w-3xl font-sans md:flex-row pogoClear">

It's a bit taller than 36 inches and less than 12 inches in width and depth, and it only weighs nine pounds which makes its a pretty portable size. The bladeless fan has four speeds and an eight-hour timer, so you can find the ideal cooling for perfect sleep every night. Be sure to snag the black colorway to score the $69.98 sale price at Amazon.</p>]]></content:encoded>

  6147. <p>Why do we say "may"? Well, as <a href="https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-news/kpop-demon-hunters-sing-along-box-office-first-netflix-win-1236352043/" target="_blank" data-ga-click="1" data-ga-label="$text" data-ga-item="text-link" data-ga-module="content_body">The Hollywood Reporter</a> explains, it looks like <em>KPop Demon Hunters, </em>in its two-day theatrical event, bested the horror hit <a href="https://mashable.com/article/weapons-review" target="_blank" data-ga-click="1" data-ga-label="$text" data-ga-item="text-link" data-ga-module="content_body"><em>Weapons</em></a><em> </em>by reportedly making $18 million to $20 million. However, box office reporting is usually confirmed by studios, and Netflix famously doesn't report box offices. In a press release, Netflix confirmed that <em>KPop Demon Hunters: A Sing-Along Event</em> was in "2,180 theaters in the US, Canada, UK/Ireland, and Australia/New Zealand with over 1,300 sold-out screenings across the US and Canada." </p><p>But since the company has refused to release its box office numbers, the official box-office win goes to&nbsp;<em>Weapons,&nbsp;</em>which made $15.6 million (its box office since opening has been&nbsp;a whopping $199.4 million). </p><p>Don't cry for the <em>KPop Demon Hunters</em> trio HUNTR/X or their fans. Even a glance at <a href="https://mashable.com/article/k-pop-demon-hunters-huntrix-arden-cho-may-hong-jiyoung-yoo-interview" target="_blank" data-ga-click="1" data-ga-label="$text" data-ga-item="text-link" data-ga-module="content_body">social media</a> this weekend showed them going up, up, up to theaters to claim their moment. Cosplays of HUNTR/X bandmates Rumi, Mira, and Zoey, as well as <a href="https://mashable.com/article/k-pop-demon-hunters-music-how-to-write-a-k-pop-song" target="_blank" data-ga-click="1" data-ga-label="$text" data-ga-item="text-link" data-ga-module="content_body">Saja Boys</a> Jinu, Abby, Mystery, Romance, and Baby, were found across <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/en/trending/detail/kpop-demon-hunters-sing-along" target="_blank" data-ga-click="1" data-ga-label="$text" data-ga-item="text-link" data-ga-module="content_body">TikTok</a>, <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/DNwKQyEZo4R/" target="_blank" data-ga-click="1" data-ga-label="$text" data-ga-item="text-link" data-ga-module="content_body">Instagram</a>, and <a href="https://x.com/RaylaMyBaeyla/status/1959304528550912145" target="_blank" data-ga-click="1" data-ga-label="$text" data-ga-item="text-link" data-ga-module="content_body">X</a>, as were recordings of fans reacting in the theater. And soon, fans can relive some of this fun back on their couch, couch, couch!</p><p>Netflix has followed this hugely successful theatrical release with news that the sing-along version of <em>KPop Demon Hunters </em>will be coming to Netflix's app on Aug 25. But hey, if you don't want to wait, a simple hack is to turn on captions. Sure, they're not fun colors and don't light up in time like the song lyrics in the theatrical event (or karaoke videos). But with "Golden" having <a href="https://www.billboard.com/lists/huntrx-golden-kpop-demon-hunters-number-1-hot-100/" target="_blank" data-ga-click="1" data-ga-label="$text" data-ga-item="text-link" data-ga-module="content_body">hit #1 on the Billboard chart</a>, something tells us there's a lot of <em>KPop Demon Hunter </em>fans that don't need that assist. </p><p><a href="https://zdcs.link/9gbDrq?pageview_type=RSS&template=article&module=content_body&element=offer&item=text-link&element_label=Kpop%20Demon%20Hunters%20is%20now%20streaming%20on%20Netflix.&object_type=article&object_uuid=06knD8p5LLMneDMcw7qh1vA&short_url=9gbDrq&u=https%3A%2F%2Fmashable.com%2Ffeeds%2Frss%2Fall" rel="sponsored"  title="(opens in a new window)" target="_blank" data-ga-click="1" data-ga-label="$text" data-ga-item="text-link" data-ga-module="content_body"><em>Kpop Demon Hunters </em>is now streaming on Netflix.</a></p>]]></content:encoded>

It will have a total of four cameras - two on the back, one on the inside, and one on the front. It will not have Face ID; instead, it will have Touch ID built into the power button, similar to what we've seen on some of the company's iPads. </p><p>Other features of note include new screen tech that should make the crease in the unfolded display less visible. The foldable iPhone will come with Apple's own C2 modem, which is the same chip that will be used by the iPhone 18 Pro line of products. And it won't have a physical SIM-card slot, claims Gurman. </p><p>The specs line up with Apple analyst <a href="https://mingchikuo.craft.me/84AOn3Ll8Zah6f" target="_blank" data-ga-click="1" data-ga-label="$text" data-ga-item="text-link" data-ga-module="content_body">Ming-Chi Kuo's report</a> earlier this year, which also said that the foldable iPhone will have a 7.8-inch inner display, a 5.5-inch outer display, and just 9 to 9.5mm of thickness when folded. </p><p>It's all a part of Apple's big plan to shake up its lineup for three years straight; starting with the new iPhone 17 Air this September, followed by the foldable iPhone next year, and, in 2027, the "iPhone 20," a sort of an anniversary model that will have curved glass edges all around. </p><div class="flex mx-auto mt-8 w-full max-w-3xl font-sans text-lg leading-normal md:text-xl md:leading-7">
