Action is a genre that never goes out of style. The 1970s action movies relied on grit and realism, while the 1980s ushered in the era of muscular lone wolves and antiheroes. The 1990s leaned more into sci-fi and spectacle, and the 2000s turned to superheroes. The genre continues to evolve, even though the predominant themes have remained the same.

In season 1 of Community, there's a scene where Donald Glover's Troy Barnes learns a valuable lesson while eating a giant cookie. The more Troy eats the cookie, the worse he feels. Troy pondered, "How can something that's delicious make me sick?" It's at this exact moment that the light goes off in his head. "Unless too much of a good thing ... is actually a bad thing," Troy said. Unfortunately, I'm not eating a cookie right now. However, the cookie represents my relationship with streaming, in particular, the binge model.

Nissan revealed the next phase of its U.S. hybrid and electrification strategy during the 2026 New York International Auto Show, debuting the 2027 Rogue Hybrid e-POWER. With the e-POWER variant, Nissan will introduce a unique series-hybrid powertrain into its North American lineup, a technology that sets it apart from the parallel-hybrid systems used by its primary competitors.

Orion is in space, the Artemis II crew will head to the moon, and you can follow their journey without leaving Earth.

NASA's Artemis Real-time Orbit Website, or AROW, allows the public to track the moonship. During the roughly 10-day test flight, anyone with a phone or computer can see how far the crew — Commander Reid Wiseman, pilot Victor Glover, and mission specialists Christina Koch and Jeremy Hansen — are from Earth.

The tracker turns a complex deep space mission into something easier to understand at a glance. With data from sensors on the spacecraft, AROW takes information already flowing to mission control in Houston and interprets it into simple visuals for the layperson. Instead of trying to picture where the crew might be, you can actually see their path, distances, and major milestones as they happen.

People can download the NASA app or go to the website to give the tracker a spin. 

AROW began updating about a minute after liftoff on Wednesday, April 1, and will keep feeding live information until Orion dives back into Earth's atmosphere for a splashdown at the end of the mission. Online, users can see where the spacecraft sits in space and trace its figure-eight route.

NASA designed the website to show more than a dot on a map. It highlights key moments in the mission and points out features on the moon, including landing sites from the Apollo program. That lets viewers connect what they’re seeing today through Artemis — named after Apollo's twin sister in Greek mythology — with the first era of human exploration on the lunar surface.

The NASA app includes similar features, plus an augmented reality tracker. After calibration, the app uses phone sensors to tell you how to move your device so on‑screen markers line up with where Orion is relative to your position on Earth.

For people who love to pore through the numbers, AROW also shares precise data describing Orion's location and motion.

Since launch, the crew has been in a high-Earth orbit, allowing them time to check out the systems aboard the spacecraft before pushing into a moon-bound trajectory.

Artemis II is NASA's first crewed mission in the Artemis campaign and a major step toward landing on the moon and learning how to live there. By sending astronauts around the moon and bringing them home safely, NASA is attempting to prove the systems needed for future lunar landings — and, perhaps down the road, the first human mission to Mars.

You might hop into your car to escape work, but now you can act like you're productive while on the road. Google Meet calls are now available through Apple CarPlay on iPhones connected to supporting vehicles.

You might not know this, but AirDrop isn't exclusive to Apple devices.

So, if you've grown tired of hearing your Apple friends say, "Just AirDrop it to me," there may be a solution.

The over-the-air file sharing feature is synonymous with iPhones (as well as iPads and Mac devices), but Google recently made it available on select Pixel devices, too. All you need to do is tap the Quick Share button on the content you want to send to a nearby Apple device, and as long as their AirDrop settings are open for business, you'll be able to AirDrop the photo or document to them.

However, not all Pixel phones support AirDrop.

Here is the full list of every Pixel phone that can AirDrop content with Apple devices:

• Pixel 9

• Pixel 9 Pro

• Pixel 9 Pro XL

• Pixel 9 Pro Fold

• Pixel 10

• Pixel 10 Pro

• Pixel 10 Pro XL

• Pixel 10 Pro Fold

• Pixel 10a

In other words, it's only compatible with the Pixel 9 and Pixel 10 families. There is one notable exception, however: The Pixel 9a does not support AirDrop via Quick Share. Anyone with Google's mid-range Pixel 9 device will need to upgrade to take advantage of this feature.

And hopefully Google can keep this useful feature around for future Pixel releases, too.

Lincoln has been Ford’s luxury wing for more than a century, turning out some truly legendary cars along the way. Think of the early ’60s Continental, the sleek Zephyr, or the old-school Town Car that ruled the ’90s.

Routers are easily forgotten, placed once and only remembered when they stop working. In doing this, a lot of people overlook the antennas, often leaving them pointing in random directions or arranged on a whim. It's a waste: you need to arrange them properly to maximize your network efficiency.

Samsung's 2026 OLED and The Frame Pro TVs are now available a few months after their CES debut, and the pricing may be more reasonable than you think. There are some missing offerings at this stage, however.

For the first time in 50 years, human beings are more than 1,000 miles away from Earth as the historic Artemis II mission continues.

The four astronauts aboard NASA’s Orion spacecraft — Commander Reid Wiseman, Pilot Victor Glover, Mission Specialist Christina Koch, and Mission Specialist Jeremy Hansen — are currently circling the Earth and preparing for a potential translunar injection later today.

As they look toward the moon, NASA also shared a picture looking back at the Earth, which appears as a crescent in the black of space.

The picture shared by NASA is a screenshot from the Orion livestream, available via YouTube. It shows part of the Orion spacecraft as it travels around the Earth.

The picture calls to mind another iconic NASA photograph, known as "Earthrise."

Taken by Apollo 8 astronaut Bill Anders on Dec. 24, 1968, the famous "Earthrise" photograph depicts the Earth rising above the ghostly lunar horizon.

"Earthrise" is one of the most famous space photographs ever taken. Apollo 8 astronauts were the first to orbit the moon, and thus the first-ever humans to witness Earthrise in person. And like the Apollo 8 astronauts before them, the crew of Orion is aiming for a lunar orbit.

Artemis II astronauts will not set foot on the moon during the planned 10-day lunar mission. However, they could travel further away from home than any human being in history, reaching a distance of 248,700 miles, breaking a record set by Apollo 13 astronauts in 1970.

For now, the four-person Orion crew is still in orbit around the Earth, where they reached a maximum height of 46,000 miles. Later today, mission control will decide whether the historic lunar mission is a go or no-go. Should the mission proceed, Orion will leave Earth's orbit and head toward the moon.

If Orion forges ahead, they're scheduled to slingshot around the moon on April 6 before returning to Earth on April 10 or 11.

The Artemis II mission is part of a larger plan to establish a crewed lunar base, and potentially even a Martian base in the future.

You can track the progress of the Orion crew via the NASA website or app.

If you've bought a new Raspberry Pi, or just got your hands on an older model that someone else didn't want, there are many ways to put that little computer to good use, and here are six of them.

Grab your Raspberry Pi out of the drawer it’s sat in for far too long, dust it off, and get ready to tackle some fun projects this weekend. Today, I’m going to show you how to build your own addressable LED strip, an AI failure detection system for your 3D printer, and even how to access your Calibre server from anywhere in the world.

Kia has opened 2026 on a high note, posting the strongest first-quarter sales performance in its history. Strong demand for core SUVs, hybrids, and family-focused models has helped push the brand to a new milestone, proving its mainstream lineup continues to resonate with buyers.

The iPhone may have more in common with Android than ever—the reverse is true, too. However, iOS still lacks several basic features that have been a core part of Android for years. While some of these may never make the jump, a few could be coming sooner than you think.

Ever since its release in 2012, Dolby Atmos has built a history of being the solid, industry-standard name for the very best in cinematic audio. This level of precision naturally turned the technology into a fancy marketing term for high-end quality, leading many, including myself, to actively look for the Dolby Atmos logo when buying equipment for a home theater.

It’s that time of the week again—time to break out the terminal and upgrade your homelab with some new projects! This weekend, I’ll show you how to deploy a self-hosted certificate authority, a recursive DNS platform, and a Notion replacement with real-time collaboration.

Open-source apps can have a mixed reputation. They're often seen as being very powerful but lack the polish of their closed-source counterparts. But it doesn't have to be like that. Some of the best apps I use every day on my Android phone are open-source.

I'm getting tired of the narrative that paints AMD as this forever underdog. It used to be true, and in some ways, it still is true, but AMD isn't the weak non-entity some people keep treating it as, and it's important that we let go of that mindset completely.
