One of the best things about owning a 3D printer is the massive variety of materials you can use to print objects. PLA is the most common and easiest to work with, ABS has its (literal) strengths, and you can do interesting things with PETG and carbon fiber filaments.

Hatchbacks aren’t usually the first thing that comes to mind when you think luxury, but one model quietly delivers upscale features at a price that’s easier on the wallet than many premium alternatives. While mainstream buyers often overlook it in favor of larger vehicles or more familiar nameplates, this hatch offers a surprising mix of refinement, style, and modern tech that feels more upscale than its compact footprint suggests.

Something special is taking place at Levi's Stadium this weekend. No, we're not talking about Bad Bunny's halftime show. It's the small matter of New England Patriots vs. Seattle Seahawks in the Big Game. Yes, the NFL season ends here with a dramatic showdown between these two juggernauts.

The Seattle Seahawks are strong favorites going into this game. They clinched the NFC's top seed with a regular season record of 14-3, before beating the 49ers and Rams in the playoffs. Sam Darnold will be looking to lead Seattle to their first title since 2014. Standing in his way is a rejuvenated Patriots led by Drake Maye. Last year's 4-13 record is long forgotten.

Some people watch the Super Bowl for football. Some people watch it for the halftime show. But for many of us, the significantly more expensive-than-usual commercials are the star of the show.

With Super Bowl LX on everyone's minds, it's time to take stock of the best commercials that aired during the game. Some of them went online as much as a week ahead of time, while others waited until the game to strut their stuff. Here are the best Super Bowl LX commercials as far as we're concerned.

Anthropic made fun of ChatGPT

Anthropic has launched a series of Super Bowl ads to make fun of OpenAI for leaning into ads on ChatGPT.

Guy Fieri gets a makeover for Bosch

Beloved internet chef Guy Fieri is teaming up with power tool maker Bosch for its "Like a Bosch" campaign. The spot opens on a surprisingly restrained version of Fieri, clean-shaven and sans frosted tips, doing mundane everyday tasks. Once Bosch tools enter the picture, he snaps back into his full Flavortown persona, flames and all.

The Budweiser horses are at it again Google tries to humanize Gemini AI

Google’s "New Home" spot centers on a mother walking her son through the empty rooms of a house she’s just purchased for them. The ad then pivots to showcase the capabilities of Gemini AI, which fills each room with furniture and objects tailored to what the boy wants.

It’s meant to be warm and aspirational, framing AI as a helpful collaborator rather than something cold or abstract — a fear that some ChatGPT users have been freaking out over.

Amazon Alexa wants to kill Chris Hemsworth

One of several ads the tech giant is rolling out, this spot stars Chris Hemsworth spiraling over just how advanced Amazon’s Alexa has become, to the point where he’s convinced it might be capable of killing him.

The premise is played entirely for laughs, with the Avengers actor dramatically preparing for the worst, including squaring up against a bear, while Alexa calmly reassures him that it harbors no ill will.

HR tech firm Rippling has Tim Robinson going mad

Capitalizing on the critical success of The Chair Company, HR software firm Rippling released a 30-second spot starring Tim Robinson in full spiral mode. The ad finds Robinson growing increasingly unhinged after realizing he still hasn’t been paid, only to discover his company is inexplicably juggling multiple global payroll platforms.

More vibe coding from Base44

This spot is more straightforward, depicting a group of office workers reacting in awe as an AI-powered program seemingly codes an entire app on demand. The pitch is clear: effortless creation at the push of a button.

Whether the software actually works out of the box or avoids the security and stability issues that plague most vibe coding projects remains an open question, but that uncertainty isn’t something the ad lingers on.

Backstreet Boys are back with T-Mobile, popping up at the carrier’s Times Square store to serenade unsuspecting customers about why they should switch providers.

Neil Diamond cover singers are having a moment. Hellmann’s continues its Super Bowl nostalgia streak by leaning hard into ’80s vibes, this time with Andy Samberg playing Meal Diamond, crooning passionately about his love for mayonnaise on sandwiches.

The Benito Bowl is only a few days away, and the hype is real.

As Bad Bunny prepares to headline the Super Bowl halftime show, fans are already speculating about possible surprise guests.

SEE ALSO: Bad Bunny slams ICE during Grammys speech

When the Puerto Rican superstar headlined Coachella in 2023, he filled his set with collaborators tied directly to his biggest songs — from Jhayco and Ñengo Flow to Jowell & Randy, Post Malone, and José Feliciano. And he's seen firsthand how powerful the Super Bowl stage can be: In 2020, he appeared as a guest during the Super Bowl LIV halftime show, joining headliners Jennifer Lopez and Shakira at a pivotal moment in his global rise.

Now, in position to offer that same spotlight to others, his guest list is likely to be just as intentional. From Cardi B to Young Miko and longtime collaborators like Jhayco, several artists stand out as realistic contenders.

Here's who might appear alongside him.

Cardi B

If there's one guest who feels most likely, it's Cardi B. Their 2018 smash "I Like It" remains one of Bad Bunny’s biggest U.S. crossovers (and his first no. 1 in the U.S.), and her arrival would instantly electrify the stadium and social feeds. A Cardi cameo would underline the moment he fully broke into American pop and add undeniable star power to an already massive set.

As for fellow "I Like It" collaborator J Balvin, their rift has been well documented. Balvin has said that while they no longer talk, there's no bad blood between him and Benito — leaving the door technically open, if emotionally complicated.

That said, there’s also a strong case for Bad Bunny keeping English entirely out of his set. In doing so, he could turn the halftime show into a rare, unapologetic showcase of Spanish-language dominance.

Jhayco

Jhayco is one of Bad Bunny's most consistent creative partners and a major part of his biggest hits, including "DÁKITI," "Tarot," and "No Me Conoce." He also appeared both weekends for Bad Bunny's Coachella set.

That loyalty matters. If "DÁKITI" makes the setlist, Jhayco is the natural co-star (though recent legal issues could complicate a potential appearance).

Young Miko

Bringing out Young Miko would signal investment in Puerto Rico's next generation. As one of the most visible queer voices in Latin pop right now, she represents the future of the scene Bad Bunny has consistently supported. A cameo from Young Miko would position him as both superstar in the know and cultural bridge.

Los Pleneros de la Cresta

If Bad Bunny wants to make his strongest cultural statement, this is it. The group's appearance on "CAFé CON RON" brings plena — Afro–Puerto Rican street music rooted in protest and community — to the mainstream.

On the Super Bowl stage, their presence would highlight the people of Puerto Rico and the island's rich culture.

Jowell & Randy

"Safaera" doesn’t work without Jowell & Randy. As veterans of reggaetón's golden era, they bring history, credibility, and pure chaos. Their return — like at Coachella — would reinforce Bad Bunny’s connection to the genre's foundations.

Ricky Martin

A Ricky Martin appearance would connect Bad Bunny's generation to Puerto Rico's first wave of global pop exports: the late-'90s and early-2000s Latin artists who first dominated U.S. charts and mainstream media. If paired with "Caro," the collaboration could double as a statement about self-expression across generations.

More than nostalgia, it would read as a recognition of shared history: one artist who helped open the door, and another who blew it wide open.

Marc Anthony

If Bad Bunny wants to tap into an even deeper well of Latin music history, Marc Anthony would be a powerful choice. As one of the most influential salsa artists of the past three decades, Anthony represents a lineage that predates reggaetón's global takeover and helped establish Latin music as a commercial force in the U.S.

Last year, Bad Bunny wrapped his history-making residency at Coliseo de Puerto Rico José Miguel Agrelot, better known as El Choli, alongside the salsa legend. A Super Bowl cameo from Anthony would bridge generations and genres: salsa and reggaetón, old-school romanticism and modern swagger, tradition and reinvention. Together, they'd carry the spirit of the island from San Juan to the U.S.'s biggest broadcast.

Rosalía

Bad Bunny and Spanish artist Rosalía have risen on parallel, seismic trajectories. As two of the most influential Spanish-language artists of the past decade, they've grown alongside each other. When Bad Bunny made his Saturday Night Live debut in 2021, he invited Rosalía to share the moment with him with a sultry, atmosheric rendition of "La Noche de Anoche."

Together, they occupy a creative space where Spanish-language pop, art-pop, and experimental sounds overlap, and their chemistry makes that overlap feel effortless.

Karol G

Karol G and Bad Bunny share a history that predates their current superstar status, dating back to early collaborations like "Ahora Me Llama." Since then, both have grown into global forces — she as one of Latin pop's most dominant crossover stars, he as its most influential architect.

A Karol G appearance would also reinforce Bad Bunny's long-standing commitment to elevating women in a genre that has often sidelined them. On the Super Bowl stage, the pairing would feel less like a throwback and more like a full-circle moment: two artists who came up together, now meeting again at the peak of their reach.

Motion sensors are great for turning on lights when you enter a room, but they're pretty bad at knowing how long to keep them on if people are sitting still. Presence sensors are a great solution, as they detect occupancy rather than motion. There's a whole lot more you can use them for than just controlling your lights.

Wonder Man is proving to be a massive series success, and fans can’t get enough. Yet, the incredible new show is far from the only hit franchise available on Disney+.

Super Bowl LX halftime show performer and Grammy winner Bad Bunny appears to be the latest target of a right-wing hoax, as a widely circulating AI-generated image falsely depicts the Puerto Rican singer burning an American flag while wearing a pink, white, and blue dress.

The image appears to have originated from a Facebook post claiming, "Bad Bunny caught on stage last night preparing for his Super Bowl halftime show."

SEE ALSO: What songs will Bad Bunny perform at the Super Bowl? Here's our dream setlist.

The post quickly falls apart under even minimal scrutiny. The image itself is riddled with obvious AI artifacts, including flames that don’t interact with the flag in any realistic way. More importantly, Bad Bunny is not currently touring. He has been on a brief break since Jan. 25 and isn’t scheduled to resume performances until Feb. 13.

None of that has slowed the image’s spread. The fake photo continues to circulate on Facebook and X, where right-wing accounts have seized on it to attack the singer, largely over his outspoken criticism of ICE.

The power tool market is crowded, with passionate owners who prefer a specific color of tool over others for performance or perceived value. We all have a tool brand we avoid or love to trash on, but did you know that only three companies own and make the majority of cordless power tools?

When you read about Linux, you probably see a lot of talk about commands to use in the terminal. The command line can seem intimidating if you aren't used to it, which is understandable. But what if we told you you don't have to worry about that?

It's Bad Bunny's world, and we're all just living in it. Or at least that's how pop culture feels right now. After winning Album of the Year at the 2026 Grammys — a milestone moment for Latin music — and topping Spotify's global charts for a fourth time in 2025 with 19.8 billion streams, Benito now heads to the biggest stage of all as the Super Bowl LX halftime show headliner on Feb. 8, 2026.

With that level of cultural gravity, every move feels intentional. Throughout his rise, the 31-year-old rapper has centered his Puerto Rican identity even as his audience went global. In a moment when immigration is once again a flashpoint in American culture — underscored by his recent anti-ICE remarks at the Grammys — that commitment feels sharper than ever.

So, as Bad Bunny heads to the Super Bowl stage, the obvious question is simple: What does he choose to perform when the entire world is watching? With a catalog that spans reggaetón, trap, pop, and traditional island sounds, the possibilities for this 13ish-minute set are vast.

Here are some of our picks.

"NUEVAYoL"

Kicking things off with the standout opening track from his Grammy-winning album Debí Tirar Más Fotos feels like the obvious move. "NUEVAYoL" sets the tone immediately: confident, nostalgic, and rooted in his story.

The track opens with a nod to Puerto Rican salsa history, sampling El Gran Combo de Puerto Rico’s 1975 song "Un Verano en Nueva York," before snapping into Bad Bunny’s modern, dembow-driven sound. It's a celebratory collision of island roots, Nuyorican legacy, and Benito's global pop ambition — the perfect bridge between Latin America and the U.S.

"BAILE INoLVIDABLE"

Translated to "unforgettable dance," this six-minute salsa centerpiece frames life as a fleeting party — one that must eventually end, so you might as well make it memorable. Built on rich piano lines, trumpet flourishes, and layered vocals, the track pays tribute to classic salsa with a big-band feel.

Its inclusion in the Super Bowl halftime show teaser, set to him dancing alongside others beneath a vibrant Flamboyán tree, signals that this moment will be as much about cultural celebration as it is about perreo: heritage and spectacle folded into one stadium-sized performance.

"Tití Me Preguntó"

Built around a frantic dembow beat and rapid-fire name-checking of fictional girlfriends, "Tití Me Preguntó" finds Bad Bunny leaning fully into his bravado. It's playful without feeling disposable, absurd without losing precision, and it's a dancefloor burner.

The track is also one of the defining hits from his 2022 album Un Verano Sin Ti, which made history as the first all-Spanish album to become the most-streamed project globally. More than just a viral moment, "Tití Me Preguntó" captures his ability to turn internet energy into stadium-sized bangers. It's loud, fast, and designed to send a crowd into instant motion.

"Callaíta"

"Callaíta" is Bad Bunny in soft-focus mode. Built on breezy production by Tainy, the song captures the tension between public composure and private desire. On the Super Bowl stage, it would offer a rare breather: a moment of intimacy and atmosphere amid the noise. Not every halftime set needs to sprint. Sometimes, control is the flex.

"DÁKITI"

“DÁKITI” remains one of Bad Bunny’s most effortlessly cool records. It's a slow burn anchored by its hypnotic beat, understated synths, and his chemistry with Puerto Rican rapper Jhayco. The track is an electro-fused blend of house and reggaetón that pulses like a hazy club track and moves like a reggaetón anthem.

It’s a crossover without compromise: Spanish-language, minimalist, and globally dominant. In a halftime context, “DÁKITI” would read as a reminder that he rewrote the rules of what mainstream could look and sound like.

"Safaera"

A fan-favorite for a reason, “Safaera” is chaotic in the best way. It's a five-minute genre-hopping monster that ricochets between reggaetón, old-school samples, chant-alongs, and club mayhem. Featuring Puerto Rican reggaeton duo Jowell & Randy and Puerto Rican rapper Ñengo Flow, it plays like a DJ set compressed into one track, with a surprise Jaws sample lurking in the mix.

While past legal disputes over its samples (especially its heavy use of Missy Elliott's "Get Ur Freak On") once made the track difficult to perform, those issues have since been resolved — clearing the way for its full, glorious chaos on the Super Bowl stage. If Bad Bunny wants a moment that breaks the internet in real time, this is it.

"I Like It"

Perhaps his most visible U.S. crossover to date, "I Like It" introduced millions of listeners to Bad Bunny's voice and charisma alongside American rapper Cardi B and Colombian singer J Balvin. It also topped the Billboard Hot 100, becoming Bad Bunny's first number one song in the U.S.

Built on a boogaloo sample and bursting with personality, the track bridges generations and geographies: Latin old-school, Bronx energy, and modern pop in one package. A guest appearance, particularly from Cardi B, would add another layer of star power to an already massive set.

"La Romana"

OK, this is a bit of a wildcard, but if Bad Bunny wants to throw it all the way back to his first studio album, 2018's X 100pre, then "La Romana" would be a fuego choice. The song finds him trading verses with Dominican dembow titan El Alfa, flitting between Latin trap and straight-up dembow energy. This song would go crazy with some pyrotechnics.

"Caro"

Alternatively, he could pivot to "Caro" and bring out Ricky Martin, who featured on the track, for good measure. The pairing would instantly register with U.S. audiences (and elder millennials), linking Bad Bunny's generation to one of Puerto Rico's most recognizable global exports.

More importantly, "Caro" remains one of his boldest early statements: a playful, defiant anthem about self-worth, gender expression, and the refusal of respectability politics. Alongside Ricky Martin — one of the most visible queer Latino pop stars in history — the moment could become a powerful celebration of unapologetic self-definition on the most mainstream stage in American entertainment.

"EoO"

"EoO" is pure, unfiltered reggaetón, a Grammy-winning banger for Best Global Music Performance that leans into the roots of perreo itself. The title plays off the last syllables of perreo, and the track's dirty beat and relentless groove make it an anthem for any crowd ready to dance.

With its effortless swagger and club-ready energy, it's exactly the kind of song that could give the halftime show a kinetic high point.

"CAFé CON RON"

Is this wishful thinking? Maybe. But the plena ensemble Los Pleneros de la Cresta would be an excellent addition to the Super Bowl stage.

With Afro-Puerto Rican plena rhythm and call-and-response energy, the track feels communal and jubilant, like a street block party brought to life. With its title literally meaning "coffee and rum," it evokes simple, everyday morning rituals and the island's rich musical heritage as much as it does a good time. Its presence on the set would be a full-on cultural assertion, threading century-old rhythms into the halftime frame.

"DtMF"

For the sentimental types, you probably heard "DtMF" all over your TikTok FYP last summer. (Bad Bunny's emotional reaction to the trend racked up a cool 189 million views on the app.) Short for Debí Tirar Más Fotos (“I should have taken more photos”), the track is equal parts introspective and uplifting — a meditation on cherishing the time you have with people and, in some cases, places.

It's also built to be sung out loud. Through its lively interplay of rhythm and chant, Bad Bunny turns remembrance into celebration, transforming nostalgia into something communal. After all, it's a sentiment we all can relate to. On a Super Bowl stage, it would land with the force of a mass singalong, turning private memories into a shared, stadium-wide release.

"La Borinqueña"

Not a Bad Bunny song, but including the Puerto Rican national anthem "La Borinqueña" in his set would be a powerful statement and a nod to where he comes from and why representation at this scale matters.

Super Bowl LX is just a few days away. Do you have a plan for how you're going to watch it without cable?

If you're reading this, we're guessing the answer is no. That's why we're here today. People who subscribe to cable or satellite TV or use an antenna don't have to worry about this, but cord cutters around the United States need answers. Let's find them.

Whether you're watching for the intriguing on-field matchup between the Seahawks and Patriots, the Bad Bunny halftime show, or the Pokémon 30th anniversary commercial, cord-cutters need a way to see all that stuff.

The good news is that the game is airing on NBC this year, meaning all of the festivities will livestream on Peacock. The bad news is that Peacock no longer offers a free trial, and the cheapest service tier doesn't offer live sporting events. At minimum, you'll need to pay $10.99 for a month of the service. Or, you know, get a password from a friend.

The game is scheduled to kick off at 6:30 p.m. ET.

After the game is over, you can just cancel it and go on with your life, or you can use it to watch all of Yellowstone or whatever before the month is up. The world is your oyster.

There are some other slightly more complicated options, but none of them are free without caveats. Streaming cable alternatives like YouTube TV, Fubo, Hulu with Live TV, and any others should work as long as they carry your local NBC affiliate. Some of those, such as YouTube TV, do offer free trials for those who have never taken advantage of that before, but be warned: The monthly charge for these services is significantly higher than Peacock because they're meant to replace cable. If you forget to cancel after the game is over, you could be out nearly $100.

So yeah, in summary, biting the bullet and buying a month of Peacock is probably the simplest solution here if you want to host a Super Bowl party without paying for cable.

We all have a bunch of old cables that work just fine, so there's no apparent pressure to get rid of them or replace them right away. A good quality cable won't have any sort of physical failure during normal home use ever.
