It might feel like a curveball to compare a Toyota to the likes of BMW or Mercedes-Benz. Usually, these brands exist in different worlds. However, the 2026 Toyota Crown Signia is not a typical SUV. It replaces the traditional (and dare we say boring) mainstream feel with a luxurious cabin, a quiet ride, and a standard feature list that rivals the best from legacy European brands.

Tesla has reported its earnings for the first quarter of 2026. The automaker is reporting $22.4 billion in total revenue, a 16 percent year-over-year increase, and $0.41 earnings per share (non-GAAP).

Google's landing page for an Earth Day-related search brings up some relatable frequently asked questions: What should we do on Earth Day? If you'd like to do more than go outside and post a pretty tree on your Instagram story for Earth Day this year, consider making some eco-friendly swaps at home.

A quick look at the best Earth Day 2026 deals Best kitchen deal Reencle Prime Electric Composter $429.00 at Amazon (save $70) Get Deal Best cleaning deal Blueland Laundry Detergent Tablets (60 count) $23.99 at Amazon (save $6) Get Deal Best tech deal Pela biodegradable compostable phone cases buy one, get one free Get Deal Best entertainment deal "Planet Earth II" (4K UHD) $34.65 at Amazon (save $25.34) Get Deal

Like Prime Day, Earth Day sales are a great opportunity to stock up on home products that you already use every day — these versions just create way less waste. Swap plastic cleaning spray bottles for dissolvable cleaning tablets, swap tree-destroying toilet paper for bamboo toilet paper, or splurge on a countertop composter to shrink your household's food waste. We'll be keeping track of the best Earth Day deals through the end of Earth Week:

I've tried a lot of sustainable swaps for my home in the past five years, and Reel's bamboo toilet paper is easily one that's been repurchased the most. Not only is it three-ply and super soft — to the point where multiple guests in my apartment have inquired about the brand — but no trees were harmed in the making of this TP. Bamboo is considered the fastest-growing plant on earth, and making toilet paper out of it requires significantly less water and energy than your typical tree toilet paper. When it feels like there's news about new cuts to national parks and forests on a daily basis, I'll take my bamboo toilet paper usage as a W.

In 2025, content creator Gigi Bello (@okaycoolgigi) took her audience on a journey. She was determined to fix the “landlord special” — a peephole on the door of her New York City apartment that had long been painted shut. The video (and its subsequent follow-ups) went viral, landing the 28-year-old CPA a feature in People and a slew of new followers.

“Content creation kind of happened by accident after a few videos went viral, but I fell in love with it,” Bello says.

Please use these two blurbs in the weeks ahead, thank you!

Bello's account has otherwise been dedicated to her adventures in sourdough breadmaking and her beloved starter, Eloise. But Bello says the peephole video made her realize that "no matter what I post, if I actually care about it, other people will too."

Bello adds, "Sometimes I feel like I don't want to be stuck making sourdough all the time (so sorry Eloise, I love you), but it made me feel better about posting other things I’m interested in and trusting that people will still care."

When it comes to capturing content, Bello uses a relatively low-tech setup in her apartment kitchen. We caught up with the creator about her favorite gear, her love of sourdough, and what it took to remove all those layers of paint.

TikTok 

This is Bello's platform of choice and her editing software all rolled up into one. Bello says she uses TikTok for both the recording and editing of her videos.

"I find that editing in TikTok is just super convenient for me. It makes my life easier than having a bunch of random small clips in my camera roll, because I get to pause and resume recording in the same clip," she says. "And editing in TikTok is so user-friendly that I don't feel the need to use anything else if I don't have to."

CapCut 

For the times that she needs an editing program with a little more oomph, she turns to CapCut.

"I mainly use CapCut when I have to edit a video for a brand, since it makes me feel 'safer' that my video won't randomly be deleted. (Yes, TikTok has done this to me before)."

"Sometimes (especially in the winter months) my kitchen doesn't have the greatest lighting, so the portable lights help a ton," Bello says. "I find that having the LED lights directly on me looks a little unnatural, so bouncing it feels more real."

What was the magic goop that got all the paint off the peephole?

Bello: CitriStrip! It's a paint and varnish stripping gel that I noticed a lot of restoration people using when trying to scrape old paint off door frames. I probably should've used a mask though; I had a headache for days after using it and accidentally breathing it in.

Mashable: Talk to us about the journey there and any tools someone might need.

Bello: Honestly, the whole "in my sourdough era" thing makes me cringe (I'm sorry!!!). I've just always been someone who loves carbs. In 2024, I was scrolling and saw a lot of people talking about how hard it was to make sourdough bread; they also mentioned how much better it was for you. I decided [that] if I can successfully make sourdough, then I must be a genius. It was honestly just a test [of] my own capabilities and a way for me to have a hobby at home.

I don't think you need much to get started with making sourdough, and you probably already have the ingredients at home. Maybe the biggest thing you'd need to get started is patience.

What is your favorite loaf pan? 

Bello: My current favorite loaf pan is made by Nordic Ware. It’s super light, unlike a Dutch oven, and my recent loaves have been made using it, and they’ve come out really good.

  Shop Now at Amazon What do you love about what you do? 

Bello: I love that I'm able to do whatever passion project I want at the moment (Eloise being a big part of that) and share my experience with it, whether it fails or succeeds. My favorite thing is creating something from an idea, even if it seems kind of silly, and being able to make something and show it off is really gratifying.

I feel like I have a bit of a double life — my day job is more analytical and composed, but my natural personality comes out in my videos, where I get to be more creative.

Who is your ideal audience? 

Bello: My ideal audience is people who are just normal about things in the best way. Like, kind, a little nosy, and actually invested. People who enjoy the process, not just the final result, and who are okay with things not being perfect. Also, people who get my humor and aren't taking everything too seriously. I like when it feels more like we're all just hanging out versus me "posting content."

Any noteworthy achievements over the past year?

Bello: Being in People magazine for my peephole was definitely up there and something I never expected. Also, Eloise's second birthday — I can't believe I've been making sourdough for two years; it really puts it into perspective. And going to FoodiCon was something I feel really grateful for. I got to meet so many people I interact with online, and hearing that people went there to see me felt really wholesome, unreal, and a little crazy. I usually film by myself in my kitchen convincing myself none of this is real, so seeing it in real life was really fulfilling.

Does Eloise have anything she'd like to add? 

Eloise: I confess, I shoved Ophelia in the junk drawer.

Netflix is cleaning house this year and making some sweeping cuts to its library of content. The streaming giant has confirmed numerous shows that are either canceled altogether or are concluding with their final seasons.

If you're primed to fear AI-driven robots replacing human workers at complex physical tasks, consider this your trigger warning.

A robot arm built by Sony, and named Ace, has just been dubbed "the first autonomous system to be competitive with elite human table tennis players." That's a quote from the study splashed across the front page of Nature, the world's most venerable peer-reviewed science journal.

SEE ALSO: A robot runner just beat a half-marathon record

The Ace researchers brought receipts. As you can see in the video above, the eight-jointed robot arm is able to make split-second decisions via an AI that's being fed real-time data from nine cameras. It scored a lot of points and won a few games against some of the world's top ping-pong players at Sony HQ in Tokyo.

But here's the good news buried in all the data. Yes, within the confines of this study, Ace was competitive. That doesn't mean Ace could figure out how to win every time; it's nothing like the half marathon-running robot that simply has to master one speed. And, crucially, the human players started to spot flaws in Ace's ping-pong strategy.

Ace isn't the first ping-pong playing robot. Researchers have long been interested in the sport because of its speed and real-time decision-making, which is a major frontier in robotics. In this respect, Ace marks a milestone for the AI system and for the highly reliable arm.

That arm was able to track a ping pong ball with 10 milliseconds of latency — more than 10 times faster than the human brain can manage.

"Ace’s striking skills are trained entirely in simulation using reinforcement learning, then transferred directly to the real robot," Sony explained in a blog post. "This is analogous to a player who practices endlessly in a virtual training hall and then walks onto a real court without needing to relearn anything."

The human players fight back

But that's just the thing — ping-pong players learn on the go, and they're looking at more than just the ball.

Mayuka Taira, who lost a match to Ace last December, told Sony the robot effectively intimidated her at first. "Because you can't read its reactions, it's impossible to sense what kind of shots it dislikes or struggles with, and that makes it even more difficult to play against," she said.

But then Rui Takenaka, who has both lost and won against Ace, went that crucial human step further. Here's what he told the company, emphasis ours:

If I used a serve with complex spin, Ace also returned the ball with complex spin, which made ​it difficult for me. But ⁠when I used a simple serve, what we call a knuckle serve, Ace returned a simpler ball. That made it easier for me to attack on the third shot, and I think that was the key reason why I was able to win.

Got that? Ace, a profoundly smart system, was suckered by a knuckle serve.

"Professional human athletes are very good at adapting to their opponent and finding weaknesses, which is an area that we are working on," Ace project leader Peter Dürr told Reuters.

So we shouldn't exactly hang up our ping pong rackets just yet. But we should certainly be very concerned about the mentions of security applications through the various reports and blogs about Ace.

Because the most lucrative real-world application of speedy systems like this isn't at the Olympics. It's on the battlefield — where being faster than the human eye may mean game over for human soldiers.

Walking through BookCon was a sort of literary haven. As I approached the exhibition floor, a string ensemble filled the Javits Center as if we'd been dropped into an episode of Bridgerton. The show floor was packed with exhibits from the big five to indie publishers, as attendees hoped to get their hands on a sought-after advanced copy. Before the event even began, as I approached the convention center nearly two hours before its start, the line stretched around several city blocks.

Attendees were ready and waiting for the show floor to open right at 9 a.m. and the lines started early. Credit: Samantha Mangino / Mashable

Yet on the show floor, despite the long lines, there was a sense of camaraderie among attendees. There was an immediate rush to the HarperCollins booth as the publisher was giving away tickets to author signings, but attendees were respectful, asking and answering each other's questions, and excitedly sharing which author's signing they were hoping to score. This is a convention for fans, celebrating the shared passion of reading, and it felt like people came ready to bask in that community.

BookCon's return to New York City comes after a six-year hiatus. From last BookCon, which took place in 2019, to 2026, the book industry has undergone seismic shifts, no doubt due to the effects of BookTok, which has helped revive print book sales. Romance and fantasy, the two most popular genres, have enthusiastic fandoms, and all of it came alive at BookCon.

In the past six months, books have been having a big moment, with the success and excitement around Rachel Reid's Heated Rivalry following its HBO Max adaptation. It's hard not to compare it to the fervor of the Harry Potter fandom. At the opening panel of BookCon, Reid was joined by Jacob Tierney, the creator of the adaptation, for their first public conversation about the show, and the room was packed with 3,000 fans — you could have thought it was for a ComicCon panel for Marvel's Avengers. Reid put it best, saying that this level of fame for an author feels like an anomaly, and that "authors don't get recognized."

BookCon was a place for uninhibited, pure book joy. A place for fans to connect with other fans and be book nerds together — I even spotted authors fanning out over each other. There were hoards in every type of Heated Rivalry hockey jersey or T-shirt. If you weren't familiar with Connor Storie and Hudson Williams's faces before BookCon, you sure would be after. But in equal amounts, people were sporting gear to celebrate all their favorite authors, especially Andy Weir and Sarah J. Maas. Attendees came for the free books, too, rolling up with foldable shopping carts that they toted around with their loot.

The two-day event was a marathon, and even covering the event, I didn't feel like I could get to all of it. But with the first BookCon in six years in the rearview and next year's on the horizon, these are my takeaways.

Amazon noticeably absent

The most popular e-reader is by far Amazon's Kindle. Yet Amazon was mostly absent from the event, which is odd given that it is the largest bookseller in the United States. But at BookCon, other retailers were front and center, including Barnes and Noble and New York-based stores Greenlight Books and The Ripped Bodice. The main stage was presented by Thrift Books, and before each event, a reel of the event's sponsors rolled, including Binc, the Book Industry Charitable Foundation, a non-profit that helps struggling independent bookstores. Having these businesses centered at the event felt like a statement against Amazon, which has a history of working against independent bookstores.

Amazon wasn't totally absent, though; it was represented by its subsidiary Audible, which hosted the "Audible Story House."

As a reporter covering e-readers, I anticipated seeing them in attendees' hands and on display on the show floor. Rakuten Kobo was the only e-reader maker at BookCon 2026.

It turned out, BookCon was a surprisingly analog event. At any convention, you'll find attendees taking breaks along the long hallways, and when people were reading, it was always with a physical book. So while I may have gone into the event planning to ask what e-readers attendees brought, I ended up witnessing the joy of print being celebrated.

While attending BookCon 2026 as a member of the press, I had an overwhelmingly positive experience, but as always, fans will let you know where things fell short. In the comments on BookCon's Instagram, fans are sharing disappointment about the long lines and not getting reservations for author signings. Crowds were packed at the event, which was a common complaint, though many noted that the crowds thinned out on Sunday for a more enjoyable experience.

Negative voices are often the loudest, and there has still been positive feedback about the event, which I spotted on the BookCon subreddit. It's unrealistic to expect a perfect event after a near-seven-year hiatus, and with next year's dates already on the books for April 10 and 11, 2027, BookCon's organizers, ReedPop, have a year to listen to attendees' feedback for an improved event.

Your next favorite rock star isn't an indie heartthrob or a heavy metal thrasher. He's a centuries-old French vampire with some serious baggage to unpack.

SEE ALSO: 'The Vampire Lestat' clip sees him find out about Louis' interview

That vampire is none other than Lestat de Lioncourt (Sam Reid), who's been a reliable scene-stealer throughout the first two seasons of AMC's rapturous Interview with the Vampire adaptation. However, we've never actually been seeing him, only his former lover Louis de Pointe du Lac's (Jacob Anderson) retelling of their turbulent relationship.

That's all about to change in The Vampire Lestat. Based on the second novel in Anne Rice's Vampire Chronicles, The Vampire Lestat lets the Brat Prince take center stage — literally. He's moved out of the shadows and into the spotlight as a rock god. (Need proof? You can listen to his singles "Long Face" and "All Fall Down" now.)

Lestat has taken his newfound stardom as an opportunity to tell his side of the story Louis told journalist Daniel Molloy (Eric Bogosian). As he brings his act from city to city, he's haunted by "muses" from his troubled past. Here's hoping they don't ruin the tour.

SEE ALSO: The Vampire Lestat's fang-tastic single 'Long Face' is now streaming on major music platforms

While The Vampire Lestat is, naturally, focused on Lestat, that doesn't mean the series is turning away from Louis. He is highly present in The Vampire Lestat's trailer, alongside Daniel and Armand (Assad Zaman).

Also spotted in the trailer? Lestat bringing the house down at his rock shows, drenching himself in blood, and even sharing a passionate kiss with his mother Gabriella (Jennifer Ehle). It's a lot, but when has Lestat ever been anything less?

The Vampire Lestat premieres June 7 at 9 p.m. ET/PT on AMC and AMC+.

Thunderbolt and USB4 have an equally capable alternative, Oculink. Although it can ensure external peripherals work as if they were installed on the motherboard, adoption has remained a challenge. After announcing the first ever modular laptop with a touchscreen, Framework has confirmed it will support Oculink. This will allow laptop users to connect eGPUs, NVMe drives, and other high-speed peripherals at speeds exceeding 120Gbps.

An anonymous group of Discord users says it hacked its way into accessing Claude Mythos Preview, the new AI model Anthropic claims is too powerful for a public release.

Anthropic says Claude Mythos "is capable of identifying and then exploiting zero-day vulnerabilities in every major operating system and every major web browser," and has granted access to the model to a select group of partners via an initiative called Project Glasswing.

The AI company said this invite-only approach would let tech leaders "secure the world's most critical software." But it might need to pay more attention to its own software security.

As Bloomberg reports, the Discord users didn't gain access through a sophisticated hack, but by guessing the online location for the model based on past Anthropic naming conventions — as found in the recent data breach at Mercor, an AI startup, earlier this month.

SEE ALSO: Is Anthropic's Claude Mythos a big stunt, or a real security threat? What the experts say.

Once they identified where to access Claude Mythos, the group had to employ additional tactics. One member of the group already had privileged access as a worker at a third-party contractor for Anthropic, Bloomberg reports.

The group was part of a private Discord channel that focuses on hunting information about unreleased models.

A member of the group told Bloomberg that they were not using Claude Mythos for nefarious purposes, but for tasks like building simple websites. However, they also claimed to have access to even more unreleased Anthropic models.

The group provided enough evidence to convince Bloomberg they had indeed breached Anthropic's security. Anthropic confirmed in a statement to Bloomberg it was aware of the claim and investigating.

At this time, there is no indication that Claude Mythos has been breached by other unauthorized parties. Still, given that Anthropic described Claude Mythos as a paradigm-shifting security threat that could "reshape cybersecurity" as we know it, any unauthorized access is —to say the least — concerning.

Retailers always put Lego Star Wars sets on sale around May 4 (aka May the 4th, aka Star Wars Day) — and this year, Amazon is getting a head start. As of April 22, over a dozen Star Wars-themed Lego builds for kids and adults are marked down there by at least 20%, starting from just $15.98.

A quick look at Amazon's best deals on Star Wars Lego sets: Save 29% Lego Star Wars Home One Starcruiser (75405) $49.99 (save $20) Get Deal Save 23% Lego Star Wars Tantive IV (75376) $61.86 (save $18.13) Get Deal Save 20% Lego Star Wars Millennium Falcon (75375) $67.99 (save $17) Get Deal Save 20% Lego Star Wars R2-D2 (75379) $79.99 (save $20) Get Deal Save 20% Lego Star Wars 501st Clone Troopers Battle Pack (75345) $15.98 (save $4.01) Get Deal

The very best deals are going to Home One Starcruiser and Tantive IV sets, which are 29% and 23% off, respectively. The other sets that are sitting at a flat 20% off include a 921-piece Millennium Falcon, a 1,050-piece R2-D2, and a 1,138-piece C-3PO that were released in 2024 for the 25th anniversary of Lego's Star Wars collection. (The first two are chilling at their lowest prices on record.) There are also a couple of bestselling battle packs for kids ages 6 and up.

Target and Walmart were matching most, but not all of Amazon's Lego Star Wars deals (I cross-checked everything), and none of them were available directly through Lego at the time of writing (if they were still in stock on its website — some are sold out or retired). Walmart only managed to beat Amazon's pricing on one kid-friendly build of Ahsoka's Jedi Interceptor... by two cents.

I haven't spotted any discounts on the new Star Wars sets Lego is releasing later this week, nor its Star Wars Smart Play sets, but that could change closer to May the 4th. In the meantime, read on to see what's up for grabs. Again, with everything on sale for at least 20% off, these are the deals you're looking for:

Purple is my all-time favorite mattress brand. I've had two Purple mattresses in my lifetime, and both were super comfy (heavy AF, but comfy nonetheless).

Right now, Purple is running a Spring Savings event with Queen mattresses starting at $999. The brand's also offering up to 20% off mattress bundles.

Pro tip: If you can hold off just a few more days, Purple's official Memorial Day Sale kicks off early on April 28, offering up to $700 off mattresses.

Since it is Earth Day, it only makes sense to include Essentia. The brand is running its Beyond Organic Sleep Sale where you can take 20% off its full collection of certified organic mattresses.

Essentia's beds are crafted using a patented Beyond Latex organic foam, which is designed to support your body without the harsh toxins typically found in conventional mattresses. On top of the clean materials, every mattress comes with a generous 120-night sleep trial, a 20-year warranty, and free shipping straight to your door. (Plus, if you have an HSA or FSA account, you can use those funds toward your purchase!).

You have a little bit of time to decide on this one — the sale runs through May 11, 2026.

Best luxury mattress deal Opens in a new window Credit: Saatva Saatva Earth Day Sale Get 15% off any order of $1,000 or more. Shop Now Why we like it

If you want a premium, hotel-style sleep experience, Saatva is the way to go. Right now, you can get 15% off any order of $1,000 or more.

Saatva mattresses are made to order and assembled in the U.S. using globally sourced, high-quality materials. Because you're investing in a luxury build, the company treats you to a full 365-night home trial and a lifetime warranty. You'll also get free delivery, setup, and mattress removal (which, if you've ever moved a mattress before, you know is a big deal).

But you'd better hurry: this Earth Day sale officially ends on April 23.

Bundling isn't always the best way to save, but at DreamCloud, the bundles are where you really get your money's worth. Right now, the brand's offering 67% off its Premier Adjustable Bundle.

For $1,398 (a $4,219 total value), you'll get a DreamCloud mattress of your choice, plus a high-tech adjustable base that features independent head and foot elevation, zero-gravity settings, under-bed LED lighting, USB charging ports, and a whisper-quiet massage mode (bougie).

The bundle also includes a luxury sheet set, pillows, a mattress protector, and 10 years of extra insurance. Like Saatva, DreamCloud also offers a full 365-night trial and free shipping and returns.

After days of teasing, BMW has revealed the 2027 7 Series. It's a major overhaul for the luxury sedan, particularly for eco-conscious drivers buying the i7 EV.

Like many technical users, I tend to gravitate toward the terminal. The reason is that there are a lot of tools that help me be productive, or in the case of games, unproductive. Here are some of my favorite tools that help me live in the Linux terminal.

Whether you're looking to get into flying drones or just want to add another to your collection, DJI is the brand to shop. Despite news of DJI drones being banned in the United States, there are still ways to get around the ban if you look hard enough. You can still keep the drones you own, and you can still shop those on sale at retailers like Amazon. And we've got one that you can snap up right now for an excellent price.

As of April 22, get the DJI Neo Fly More Combo for $259 at Amazon, down from its usual price of $349 with an on-page coupon. That's $90 off and a discount of 26%.

This bundle includes the DJI Neo drone, a remote controller, RC cable, flight battery, two-way charging hub, propeller guards, spare propellers, spare propeller screws, a screwdriver, gimbal protector, and a Type-C to Type-C cable.

The DJI Neo Fly More Combo is a lightweight and simple to fly option for users of any skill level. It's lighter than your phone, in fact, and small enough that you don't need to register with the FAA to fly it. You can use your phone to operate it, and it can take off from your hand with a single button push, so it's already simple to use right out of the box.

You can just fly the drone around, or you can take photos from a bird's eye point of view with smart subject tracking and quickshots that your drone can take all on its own. You can also control it via voice or RC depending on your preference.

With 4K ultra stabilized video, you can also stack plenty of crisp, high definition video while flying, all without complex setups that confuse and potentially frustrate.

if you're ready to get into drone photography or just want a chance to fly one without breaking the bank, this combo is well worth splurging on.

Google just made life a tiny bit easier for Android users who love to travel.

9to5google spotted a new lock screen widget for Android 16 that gives you persistent progress updates on your flights. It's very simple and straightforward: It shows your departing airport, your destination airport, your estimated arrival time, and a progress bar measuring how deep into the flight you are.

As 9to5google noted, this is on top of some already-existing features for travelers who add their boarding passes to the Google Wallet app. Those include push notifications about flight changes, but the flight progress widget is brand-new, having been promised by Google last year.

If you want to try it, well, you'd better have a flight lined up first. Add the boarding pass to Google Wallet, and the widget should appear shortly before takeoff. In other words, you don't really have to do anything other than put your boarding pass in your phone.

This marks another step forward for Google Wallet, which replaced Google Pay in 2024 as the go-to destination for credit cards and other important kinds of digital documentation on Android devices. By all accounts, it's been a successful transition for Android users, and if Google keeps adding neat little conveniences like this flight tracker widget, it'll only get better.

Ask any binge-watcher, and they'll be quick to rattle off the name of their favorite cult-classic show. In recent years, my go-to answer is The OA, a mysterious Netflix drama that ran for two seasons before its cancellation.
