If you've ever looked into buying a smart TV, you've probably noticed that some models are advertised as being AI-enhanced. This label isn't just a marketing gimmick; recent AI-enhanced smart TVs have multiple advantages over ordinary screens, but there are some things you should know before you decide to buy one.

Bad Bunny hosted SNL this weekend for its first week back on air and his monologue didn't disappoint.

He started off talking about his 30-show, three-month residency in San Juan, Puerto Rico featuring his incredible dance moves and Jon Hamm aka Juan Jamón, who was in the audience. Then, he brought up the fact that he'll be headlining the Super Bowl 60 halftime show.

"I am very happy. I am very happy and I think everyone is happy about it," he joked, nodding towards the mixed responses some people had online. Some fans were ecstatic to see him on the main stage; other people complained it might be hypocritical of him to play the show after refusing to add U.S. dates to his upcoming world tour; and other people were upset that the show would likely be predominately in Spanish.

He added a few sentences in Spanish to convey how excited he was to play the Super Bowl halftime show for all the Latinos and Latinas in the U.S. and around the world.

"And if you didn't understand what I just said," he joked, "you have four months to learn."

Annabelle has nothing on the murderous doll Chucky. Debuting in the late 1980s, the serial killer possessing a toy has become as much of a slasher icon as Freddy Krueger or Jason Vorhees. He might be small, but he’s got a filthy mouth, maniacal laugh, and brutal methods of taking out people three times his size.

Sometimes, choosing the exemplary streaming service has less to do with taste than budget. There are so many options for streaming movies and television, even the abundance of selection isn’t a factor. Of course, plenty of free streaming services exist, but sometimes you want to splurge for something a little without ads.

SAVE $20: As of Oct. 5, the Fitbit Inspire 3 is on sale for just $79.95 instead of $99.95 as an early October Prime Day deal. That's a savings of 20%.

Looking to gain some insights into your health and wellness routine without breaking the bank? Skip the Apple Watch and go with the simple, yet intuitive Fitbit Inspire 3. It's our favorite fitness tracker under $100, and you can get it for even cheaper than usual ahead of Amazon's Prime Big Deal Days event.

As of Oct. 5, the Fitbit Inspire 3 is on sale for just $79.95 at Amazon in all three color varieties (pink, yellow, and black). That's $20 or 20% off its list price of $99.95. We've seen it drop to $69.95 in the past, but with the latest tech price hikes across the board, we'd be surprised if the budget-friendly fitness tracker hits that all-time low price on October Prime Day. FWIW, on Prime Day proper in July, it only dropped an extra $5 to $74.95. There's a chance you could save a few more bucks if you wait, but you're still getting a good deal if you shop now.

We're big fans of the Fitbit Inspire 3's intuitive design, impressive app suite, workout insights, and sleek and slim aesthetic. It offers a comprehensive suite of tracking features — from sleep and steps to stress levels and blood oxygen — and a decent battery that'll last you a week or more. "For anyone new to fitness or any dedicated gym rat, the Fitbit Inspire 3 gets you more than you pay for," our reviewer writes, giving it the Mashable Choice award honor.

It seems hyperbolic to say that nobody answers the phone anymore, but with spam calls reaching unprecedented levels and younger generations who prefer to communicate by text and audio messages, it’s not exactly a false statement.

GEEKOM's IT15 is one of the most powerful mini PCs available today. Packed with an Intel Core Ultra 9 285H processor and priced at $1,200, it should be an absolute winner, but I don't think it makes sense beyond some specific professional or hobbyist use cases.

We're now several weeks into the 2025-26 NFL season, and it's been nothing short of electric. Watching from regular TV stations is still possible, but things are changing. The NFL recently cut the cord and gave YouTube the Sunday Ticket, and several upcoming games will air exclusively on streaming platforms. It's a mess.

Monster movies are entertaining, but there are times when those old monstrosities look a little basic. While it’s essential to pay respect to such classics as Boris Karloff’s Frankenstein’s monster and Bela Lugosi’s Dracula, not all of their scary nature has stood the test of time. Some padded makeup and stuck-on appendages might’ve been enough to scare audiences of the 1930s, but times change, and you need a little more.

Python’s open function should be your first port of call when you’re looking to read the contents of a file. Give it a filename and you’ll get back a versatile object, letting you read and write data, both in plain text and binary formats.

CarPlay lets you control your iPhone using your car’s dashboard or entertainment unit, but did you know you can also use it to control your smart home?

Amazon's October Prime Day (aka Prime Big Deal Days) event is here to unleash massive savings as we head into the holiday shopping season. Officially kicking off on Oct. 7, the shopping event promises millions of deals across categories. There will be plenty of hefty discounts floating around — many of which are already live — but the savings won't last forever. If you're looking to score the deepest of discounts, then you need to mark your calendars now.

We've got what you need to know on how long you have to shop as well as a few deals to get you started on your way. Plus, you can check out our Prime Day hub for in-depth coverage on what products are worth grabbing and which ones are worth passing on.

Amazon Prime Big Deal Days will officially come to a close at 11:59 p.m. PT on Wednesday, Oct. 8, which means around 3 a.m. on Oct. 9 for people living on the East Coast. Of course, just as deals pop up weeks ahead of the main event, many are also likely to linger past that deadline.

Best early Prime Big Deal Days deals to shop

As most Prime-centric events go, Amazon's already dishing out deals left and right ahead of the main event. The best early Prime Day deals are mostly on Amazon's own devices and services, books, earbuds, and TVs — including up to 65% off books, three free months of Kindle Unlimited, and the first discount on the Bose QuietComfort Ultra earbuds (2nd gen).

The NYT Connections puzzle today shouldn't be hard to solve if you're an '80s pop fan.

Connections is the one of the most popular New York Times word games that's captured the public's attention. The game is all about finding the "common threads between words." And just like Wordle, Connections resets after midnight and each new set of words gets trickier and trickier—so we've served up some hints and tips to get you over the hurdle.

If you just want to be told today's puzzle, you can jump to the end of this article for today's Connections solution. But if you'd rather solve it yourself, keep reading for some clues, tips, and strategies to assist you.

The NYT's latest daily word game has become a social media hit. The Times credits associate puzzle editor Wyna Liu with helping to create the new word game and bringing it to the publications' Games section. Connections can be played on both web browsers and mobile devices and require players to group four words that share something in common.

This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.

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.

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—players get up to four mistakes until the game ends.

This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.

Players can also rearrange and shuffle the board to make spotting connections easier. Additionally, each group is color-coded with yellow being the easiest, followed by green, blue, and purple. Like Wordle, you can share the results with your friends on social media.

Today's NYT Strands hints are a bit of a misdirect.

Strands, the New York Times' elevated word-search game, requires the player to perform a twist on the classic word search. Words can be made from linked letters — 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.

By providing an opaque hint and not providing the word list, Strands creates a brain-teasing game that takes a little longer to play than its other games, like Wordle and Connections.

If you're feeling stuck or just don't have 10 or more minutes to figure out today's puzzle, we've got all the NYT Strands hints for today's puzzle you need to progress at your preferred pace.

Originally created by engineer Josh Wardle as a gift for his partner, Wordle rapidly spread to become an international phenomenon, with thousands of people around the globe playing every day. Alternate Wordle versions created by fans also sprang up, including battle royale Squabble, music identification game Heardle, and variations like Dordle and Quordle that make you guess multiple words at once. 

Wordle eventually became so popular that it was purchased by the New York Times, and TikTok creators even livestream themselves playing.

Not the day you're after? Here's the solution to the latest Mini Crossword.

Amazon provides a pretty irresistible shopping experience through its speedy shipping (among other Prime member perks), vast range of products, and unbeatable prices. Prime Day (formally called Prime Big Deal Days in October), in particular, can often lead to some regretful impulse buys. Psst: Just because something is down to its lowest price ever doesn't mean you need it.

With another Amazon shopping holiday on the horizon, officially kicking off on Oct. 7, you may be wondering how to return unwanted items purchased at Amazon. Whether you fall victim to the inevitable Prime Day impulse buys, end up with a broken item, or accidentally order two of something, it's actually pretty simple to make returns in 2025.

Here's the step-by-step process to return your Amazon packages:

1. Go to Amazon's website and click on Returns and Orders in the top-right corner of the screen. If you want to make a return on your Amazon app, the process is similar. On the app, click on the three horizontal lines at the bottom right of the screen. Then click on Orders and follow the same steps.

2. A new page displaying your latest orders will appear. Scroll down to the item you want to return and click on the Return or replace items right next to the item listing.

3. The next page that opens up will have a drop-down menu with a list of reasons for returning the item. Select whichever option applies to your purchase and then click the yellow Continue button.

4. Then you will get the option to refund the balance to your Amazon account or debit/credit card. Pick what you prefer — refunds to bank cards usually take a week or so, while refunds to your Amazon account wallet are pretty immediate.

5. The last part of the online return process is choosing where you'll drop your return off. Amazon is pretty flexible with return methods: You can drop off the item for free at your nearest UPS Store, Kohl's, Whole Foods, Staples, or Amazon Store. You can also schedule a UPS pick-up for $7.99. Once you select a method, you'll receive a QR code that can be used to return the package at the drop-off location. If you choose UPS or Kohl's, no original packaging, tape, or shipping label is necessary — just bring the item and scan it.

Though Amazon touts "free returns" on many products, you may see a mystery $1 fee on your account if you did your return at a UPS store. As of April 2023, Amazon has been charging a $1 fee for items returned to UPS when there is a Whole Foods, Amazon Fresh store, or Kohl’s closer to their delivery address.

While the return process is fairly intuitive, Amazon's return policy can be tricky for some purchases. While the website states that most items can be returned in their original packaging with no missing parts within 30 days of receipt, regardless of whether they've been opened, there are some notable exceptions. Some luxury items cannot be returned once opened, for instance. And if you purchased an item on Amazon from a third-party seller, that seller might have their own return policy that differs from Amazon's. Meanwhile, not all items can be returned, such as digital orders, gift cards, and groceries purchased through Amazon Fresh.

TL;DR: Get a feature-packed MacBook Pro for only $279.97 (reg. $1,499) through October 12.

Want a laptop that can keep up with all your multitasking? Whether you’re in need of a laptop for work or school, it’s pretty tough to beat the MacBook Pro. This device is Apple’s most powerful portable option, but there’s usually one big drawback — it comes with a sky-high price tag.

Right now, you can snag this 13-inch MacBook Pro model for only $279.97 (reg. $1,499) until October 12.

This MacBook Pro deal too good to pass up

If you’ve always wanted to get your hands on a MacBook Pro, but haven’t had thousands of dollars set aside to snag one, you’ll want to act fast. This MacBook Pro comes packed with an impressive 3.1GHz dual-core Intel Core i5 processor, and Turbo Boost capabilities that enable processing speeds up to 3.5GHz.

All that power doesn’t come with a lot of weight — this device weighs in at just 3.02 pounds. You can get everything done on the 13.3-inch retina display, which features 2560×1600 pixels and 500 nits brightness. With 512GB of storage, you have plenty of room to save important files right on the device, too.

This particular model includes some of Apple’s coolest features — like the Touch Bar, which offers customization and shortcuts right at the top of your keyboard. Speaking of that keyboard, it’s backlit and includes a butterfly mechanism for responsive typing. And a Force Touch trackpad offers precise cursor control.

The 10-hour battery life can last through the workday, and if you need to connect and charge, four Thunderbolt 3 ports are available.

You’re saving more than $1,200 thanks to this model’s grade A refurbished status. That means it will arrive in near-mint condition, with virtually no signs of prior use, while you enjoy a deep discount.

This petite phone comes with 4G, Bluetooth, and WiFi connectivity, and works with your existing SIM card — no extra data plan required. You can make calls, download apps, and video chat. It even includes a 5MP front camera and 2MP rear camera, so you can take photos and capture memories just like your usual phone.

A long battery life lets you use this smartphone all day. The NanoPhone is also super durable, made to withstand everyday wear and tear. It’s a great option for when you want to travel light — from nights out to gym sessions or a late-night run. It’s also a great emergency backup option.
