I've never owned an iPhone, and its limited features are part of the reason why. Samsung Galaxy phones are some of the most capable and flexible phones you can buy—powerful in areas where Apple doesn't even try to compete.

Whenever a movie starring Tom Cruise arrives on streaming, it's an exciting development, especially if it involves Ethan Hunt and the IMF. Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning is now available to watch on Netflix.

The ability to accommodate up to seven, plenty of cargo space, especially with the third row folded, tons of creature comforts, and a more commanding view of the road to really take advantage of that powerful engine. Driving a large luxury SUV has a number of benefits like this, and a gently used Infinit QX80 offers all of them without runaway maintenance costs and a max towing capacity of 8,500 lbs.

Are you tired of people recommending Ubuntu when it never quite feels right on your desktop? Well, the problem might not be Ubuntu—it might be your hardware. Here’s why Ubuntu can be an excellent distro for laptops, but not ideal for desktop users.

Donald Trump's one hour 47 minute State of the Union has proven unsurprisingly unpopular with the late night hosts.

In the monologue above, Stephen Colbert gives his live reaction to the address, from the U.S. president rambling about food prices to rambling about the upcoming World Cup and Summer Olympics ("Is he just doing this year's community calendar for all of America?" asks Colbert).

Ultimately, the host has a fairly grim summary of Trump's address. "It was a dark speech," says Colbert, "filled with divisive lies, and it's unlikely to win him much support with the voters who've grown disenchanted with the chaos and dysfunction of his second administration."

Elsewhere, Jimmy Kimmel had a similarly damning response.

Walmart is going hard this week by dropping exclusive Pokémon TCG collectibles for Pokémon Day 2026. These drops take place at 10 a.m. ET every day from Feb. 23-26 in the build up to the big day.

Collectors have already had the opportunity to pick up Ascended Heroes ETBs and Mega Evolution Ascended Heroes Mini Tin Displays this week. On Feb. 25, you should expect to see a heavy discount on the Pokémon TCG Scarlet and Violet Journey Together Booster Bundle at 10 a.m. ET. This is not confirmed yet, but speculation of what's going to be released this week has been correct thus far.

It is reportedly extremely tough to actually get your hands on these products. You need to be signed up to Walmart+ to shop these exclusive deals, but even that is no guarantee of coming through with an order. We're well versed in the competitive and fast-paced nature of trading card collecting right now, but this week of exclusive drops has been on another level of brutal.

All we can say is make sure your membership is active before the next deal goes live, and keep refreshing the page if you don't see the product listing go live immediately.

Want to score the best Pokémon Day deals ahead of Pokémon Day? It's rough out there, but Walmart might be your best bet.

Using a 3D printer can be misleading at times. While we’re closer than ever to the “plug-and-print” future, we still can’t completely trust these machines and the software they rely on.

TL:DR: Walmart is dropping exclusive Pokémon TCG collectibles over four consecutive days before Pokémon Day 2026. New products drop at 10 a.m. ET on Feb. 23-26 for Walmart+ members.

Pokémon Day is an annual celebration of all things Pokémon. It is held every year on Feb. 27 to mark the release of the original game in Japan. You can expect a lot of exciting announcements and product launches to go live on the big day, but there's actually no need to wait.

Walmart is dropping exclusive Pokémon TCG collectibles over four consecutive days before Pokémon Day 2026. These new products will drop at 10 a.m. ET on each day:

• Feb. 23 — Ascended Heroes ETB

• Feb. 24 — Ascended Heroes Mini Tin Displays

• Feb. 25 — Journey Together Booster Bundle (TBC)

• Feb. 26 — Destined Rivals Booster Bundle (TBC)

The first drop on Feb. 23 featured Ascended Heroes ETBs. Walmart+ members could score these boxes for $59.99 — way below the $120 price point on TCGplayer. Next came Ascended Heroes Mini Tin Displays for under $130 on Feb. 24. There's a lot of speculation about what products are going to featured in the coming days. If rumours are to be believed, Pokémon fans can expect Journey Together Booster Bundle and Destined Rivals Booster Bundles to go live this week.

You do need to be a Walmart+ member to shop these exclusive drops — it's easy to sign up and this should hopefully limit the impact of bots and scalpers. These products will likely sell fast, so if you're interested in shopping, we recommend signing up well before the next drop. You don't want to be going through the sign-up process when stock is disappearing before your eyes.

Make sure your Walmart+ subscription is live, clear your schedule, and stock up ahead of Pokémon Day 2026.

Unlike their pricier siblings, these AirPods 4 don't come with noise-canceling features, but they still boast great sound quality for listening to music, audiobooks, or podcasts. They even feature Personalized Spatial Audio with dynamic head tracking, which makes the sound feel as if its coming from all around you, rather than just the little speakers in your ears. On top of that, you can push their battery life to up to 30 hours when you're using the charging case, which makes them perfect for taking on long commutes or while traveling.

If you're hoping to use these AirPods 4 when working out, it's also worth mentioning that they're dust, sweat, and water resistant with an IP54 rating. Rain or shine, these earbuds are built to handle it.

Nothing just can't stop leaking more details about its upcoming Nothing Phone 4a ahead of time.

So far, we've seen the phone, which is scheduled for a full reveal on March 5, in Nothing's standard black-and-white, semi-transparent color.

Now, the company unveiled the phone in a somewhat surprising color for the brand – pink.

It's still a Nothing phone, meaning the pink is very subtle, and the phone still has Nothing's trademark semi-transparent look.

SEE ALSO: Nothing shows us the Nothing Phone 4a ahead of time

Lucy Birley, Colour Material Finish Design Lead at Nothing, has a fun explanation for the phone's look. "Pink is actually just desaturated red (...) when we put the tint inside the transparency, because of how the light interacts with the resin underneath you get this incredible sense of depth which makes our products look really lively," she said in a statement.

Sure, but we'll just call it pink-ish.

The company also shared a 12-minute video, giving us a very detailed look into the phone's design, including that new Glyph bar on the back.

Nothing still hasn't revealed all of the phone's specs, nor has it said anything about the (possible) more powerful variant, the Nothing Phone 4a Pro. We'll get all the details at the official reveal, which is happening on March 5, at 10:30 a.m. GMT (5:30 a.m. ET).

Donald Trump gave his State of the Union address 2026 on Tuesday, and at one hour and 47 minutes it was just as rambling as you'd expect.

In the clip above, Jimmy Kimmel recaps some of the U.S. president's main talking points before giving his own, slightly less rosy version of how things are in the country.

"Here's the real State of the Union, OK?" Kimmel says. "We have a nutjob wannabe king who's doing everything he can to censor opinions he doesn't want to hear, he has his goons arresting, incarcerating and killing American citizens, he's cut funding for cancer research at children's hospitals, while he rakes in literally billions of dollars for himself and his family; he's coming after our right to vote; he's protecting paedophiles and won't explain it; he's lining the pockets of billionaires; all while neglecting the sick, the poor, the hungry, in the name of Jesus, by the way, who you can read all about in a Donald Trump edition of the God Bless the USA bible, that is made in China and available for $99.99. That is the State of the Union."
