The Black Friday streaming deals bonanza is over. But holiday streaming deals continue in December, and some of the December deals are better than the one I signed up for in November. Buyer’s remorse is eternal, but this time it’s also reversible.The best December streaming deals are ad-free. It’s not an eye-poppingly low number, but you can get a 4K-streaming, ad-free bundle of HBO Max, Disney+, and Hulu for $33. That’s more than 40 percent off—or $23 less than list price. But most important: no ads.In fact, I plan to upgrade to the no-ad bundle. Because it turns out I…
‘Tis the season for gift-giving, family feasts and companies turning their harvested user data into lighthearted recaps. Valve’s take on the year-end rewind, Steam Replay, is now available. It follows similar offerings from Spotify, Apple Music, PlayStation and, increasingly, just about every service you use. Hell, even Uber and The New York Times somehow justified getting in on the action this year.This is the fourth edition of Valve’s wrap-up, which looks back on the titles you spent the most time with in 2025. You’ll find your top games, the number of titles you played, achievements unlocked and longest streaks. You…
Today, Bloomberg posted an interview with Larian Studios CEO Swen Vincke in which he explained that the Baldur’s Gate 3 and Divinity developer has started integrating generative AI into its workflow. This is being used for PowerPoint presentations, placeholder text, and concept art, and according to Vincke, “everyone at the company is more or less OK with the way [Larian is] using it.” Despite Vincke’s best efforts to contextualize the ways in which the technology is being used and his promise that no genAI would make its way into the finished product, many fans are not happy, and the statements…
With a second Trump Administration at the helm in 2025, NASA marked significant progress toward the Artemis II test flight early next year, which is the first crewed mission around the Moon in more than 50 years, as well as built upon its momentum toward a human return to the lunar surface in preparation to send the first astronauts — Americans — to Mars. As part of the agency’s Golden Age of innovation and exploration, NASA and its partners landed two robotic science missions on the Moon; garnered more signatories for the Artemis Accords with 59 nations now agreeing to…
Samsung’s first tri-fold smartphone is making headlines—but not just for its ambitious design. New repair pricing details suggest that fixing the Galaxy Z TriFold’s main display could cost nearly as much as buying a brand-new Galaxy S25 Ultra outright. The Galaxy Z TriFold launched last month as Samsung’s boldest foldable yet, introducing a complex tri-folding screen that expands into a tablet-like canvas. Interest has been intense: the device reportedly sold out within minutes of becoming available, despite extremely limited stock. But that flexible inner screen comes with a downside if anything goes wrong. According to a recent report, replacing the…
Grindr is not in the business of politics at all. I don’t comment on politics, which has been my policy since I have been here, so I’m not going to comment on that. Gay people have very different views, and it’s not something that I think should impact how I run a company. My job is to ensure that users have a fun and sexy place to enjoy their lives outside of politics. People come to Grindr not for politics but for other things. Unless it is fundamentally connected to our core business, we don’t make political comments.But users do…
Behold: Ken Paxton will now demonstrate that broken clocks are indeed right twice a day. The Texas Attorney General is notorious for, well, a very long list of reasons. But in this case, he at least appears to be doing consumers a solid: He sued five television companies for using ad-targeting spyware on their TVs.Texas sued Sony, Samsung, LG, Hisense and TCL for allegedly recording what viewers watch without their consent. The predatory technology, Automated Content Recognition (ACR), identifies the content being played on a device by matching short content fingerprints to a database.ACR is essentially a Shazam for video.…
I was nearly 30 hours into The Outer Worlds 2 when I lied to a character during a conversation. A few moments later, a message popped up on my screen. I had lied enough times, apparently, that I was offered the chance to take a new secret trait that would force me to lie whenever possible, but I could do so perfectly. This is the Flaws System, and it’s one of my favorite features in a game I’ve played this year. Released earlier this year, The Outer Worlds 2 is Obsidian’s bigger and better open-world RPG sequel to 2019’s The…
Mesas and dunes stand out in the view snapped by HiRISE, one of the imagers aboard the agency’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter. After nearly 20 years at the Red Planet, NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) has snapped its 100,000th image of the surface with its HiRISE camera. Short for High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment, HiRISE is the instrument the mission relies on for high-resolution images of features ranging from impact craters, sand dunes, and ice deposits to potential landing sites. Those images, in turn, help improve our understanding of Mars and prepare for NASA’s future human missions there. Captured Oct. 7,…
If 2024 was a year of incremental updates, 2025 was the year the foldable form factor truly matured. We moved past the era of engineering curiosity and fragility into a time where these devices stood confidently alongside and often surpassed traditional flagship phones. From Samsung’s meticulous refinement of its ecosystem to Huawei and Oppo pushing the physical limits of camera optics and hinge mechanics, this year’s lineup proved that foldables are no longer just experiments. They are now among the very best smartphones money can buy.Here are our picks for the best foldable smartphones of 2025.1. Samsung Galaxy Z Fold…
