Last year’s biggest mobile software story was Apple’s divisive new “Liquid Glass” design style. Then, this year started with hints of Google bringing a similar look to Android 17 on Pixel phones. Google has directly denied any inspiration, but the latest beta tells a different story.

Buying a first car for a teenager is one of the more important decisions a family makes. The vehicle has to be affordable, reliable, and safe. Traffic crashes remain one of the leading causes of death for teens between 15 and 18, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, with novice teen drivers twice as likely as adults to be involved in a fatal crash.

Pi-hole might be the simplest Raspberry Pi project of them all, while at the same time being one of the most impactful in terms of everyday usage. Once you’ve set Pi-hole up, leave your Raspberry Pi plugged in and it will quietly do its job without the need for a display, mouse, keyboard, or anything else.

The Raspberry Pi is one of the most popular single-board computers out there among tinkerers, self-hosting enthusiasts, and homelabbers. However, if you're looking to get the best homelab performance for your dollar, the Pi isn't a great option—it just isn't designed for that use. There are better options out there at the same price.

Are you ready for another set of homelab projects? It's all about backups and optimizations this weekend, as I show you how important game server and GitHub backups are, as well as how to optimize the downloading of updates and apps across Windows, macOS, and Linux.

Yes, that's still expensive, but for the cost, you're getting what LG calls "the world's largest 5K2K gaming monitor." It packs a a 5120x2160 WUHD resolution across a massive 52-inch curved VA panel with an impressive 240Hz refresh rate and 1ms response rate. The steep 1,000R curvature is designed to bring more of the details of the screen into your natural field of view. This makes for particularly expansive and clearer open-world games.

Other specs include VESA DisplayHDR 600 for striking contrast and boosted brightness, up to 95% DCI-P3 color gamut, AMD FreeSync Premium, plenty of connectivity options (DisplayPort 2.1, dual HDMI 2.1 ports, and USB-C with 90W power delivery), and a matte screen surface.

If you have the budget and desktop real estate, the LG UltraGear Evo G9 is a beast of a monitor offering an extremely immersive gaming experience. And at $1,699.99, it's the cheapest you'll find.

Samsung has never been scared to include as many options as possible in its devices. That includes the Galaxy Watch as well, of course, but not all of the best features are enabled fresh out of the box. Let's make sure you haven't overlooked some grayed-out toggles.

Like all good tech geeks, I am a terrible hoarder. I have drawers full of old cables for phones I no longer own, and empty boxes from devices I sold years ago. I also have several old routers gathering dust, and decided to put one of them to good use.

A couple of years ago, the Oura Ring 4 impressed us with its health tracking capabilities. Now, the Oura Ring 5 looks to do the same, but in a much smaller form factor.

Oura officially unveiled Ring 5 on Thursday, bringing news that the device is 40 percent smaller than the previous model, making it Oura's smallest health wearable yet. It launches on June 4, starting at $399 for basic finishes like silver and black. You can pay an extra $100 to get it in the Gold, Stealth, Brushed Silver, or Deep Rose finishes, too. There's also a standalone charging case available for $99, but you'll need to get that separately.

If the smaller size of the ring wasn't enough of a selling point, Oura is also packaging it with a bundle of new software features that sound pretty useful for health tracking. You can use the ring to track live activity in the Oura app (for things like running and workouts), and there's a new Health Radar system that constantly monitors certain metrics in the background in case anything troubling comes up. Those metrics to start with are blood pressure monitoring and a measurement of your nighttime breathing habits.

Other odds and ends include an AI health assistant available in the Oura app, as well as new insights into GLP-1 treatments. In general, it sounds like the software offerings here are even more compelling than the size of the device itself.

You can pre-order one at Oura's site now.

My favorite thing about owning a 3D printer is being able to invent solutions for my everyday life. Those small annoyances or inefficiencies that store-bought products can’t fix. One recent example is my custom desktop water tracker. Come along with me on this problem-solving journey.

Are you pondering learning how to script on Linux? Perhaps you wanted to create a service or automate something, but thought Bash was too much. The if-statement represents a huge chunk of how a script functions, yet you can learn it in an hour. That knowledge opens up many new, strong options on Linux, so it's worth taking the time to learn.

Intel finally has a clear answer to the AMD Ryzen Z chips powering handheld gaming PCs like Valve's Steam Deck and Lenovo's Legion Go. The company has introduced Arc G3 and G3 Extreme processors that are meant to deliver "PC-class" performance in Windows handhelds without compromising on battery life.

Now that we're just a few days away from June, it's time to kick back and enjoy the summer. If you have a pool in your yard, you probably have plans to stay home and take advantage of the nice weather. But one major issue stands between you and a daily morning swim — cleaning the pool. If you're tired of skimming and scrubbing before a swim, check out this deal that'll ease the pain.

As of May 28, the Aiper Scuba X1 cordless pool robot is on sale at Amazon for $999.99 with the on-page coupon. That takes $500 off the normal list price of $1,499.99 for a 33% discount. It's the best price we've ever spotted at Amazon on this Aiper model.

When it comes to waterline cleaning, the Aiper Scuba X1 can clean the horizontal line, covering 98% with a cross pattern, according to Aiper. When cleaning the pool floor, the Aiper can either take an "s" shaped path for flat-bottomed pools or take an adaptive path for bowl-shaped or complex pool bottoms.

No worries about your pool's composition material because the Scuba X1 can handle ceramic tile, concrete, fiberglass, or a vinyl liner. It has five cleaning modes with easy retrieval to place it on the included charging base after it cleans.

Before you start scheduling pool cleaning session this summer, consider the upgraded convenience of having a robot clean instead. Thanks to today's coupon at Amazon, you can snag the Aiper Scuba X1 for under $1,000.

Despite having a twist in Season 1 so unexpected it was borderline criminal, Sugar is coming back for Season 2.

In the trailer above we see the titular John Sugar (Colin Farrell) back in sun-drenched LA for more neo noir-style missing persons investigations, this time going up against a sinister sherriff's deputy (Tony Dalton) in a race to find a man's vanished brother.

Of course, as anyone who's seen Season 1 will know, there's much, much more to Sugar than just a run-of-the-mill crime detective story.

Sugar Season 2 streams on Apple TV from June 19. Season 1 is streaming now.

I'm a bit of a Garmin fangirl. Now only have I been rocking a Garmin watch for six years, but I also bought one for both of my parents and my boyfriend. I'll always recommend them, but especially so when they're on sale. If you're in the market for a high-performance smartwatch built for fitness, one of Garmin's most impressive smartwatches is the cheapest it's ever been.

As of May 28, the Garmin Epix Pro (Gen 2, 47mm) is down to just $499.99 at Amazon. That's 50% off its list price of $999.99 and, according to our favorite price-tracking tool, its best price on record. While it's not the first time we've seen the price drop this low, it is the first time this year.

Not all Garmin watches are created equal and the Epix Pro is at the higher end of the spectrum.

It features a shiny AMOLED display with a scratch-resistant sapphire lens and titanium bezel and it goes far beyond just tracking your heart rate and caloric burn. It's packed with advanced features that track everything you can imagine: pulse oxygen levels, stress, body battery, respiration, recovery time, real-time stamina, running pace, heart rate variability, running strength during ascents, endurance over time, and lots more.

You can also follow along with animated workouts or personalized training plans for your next race right from your wrist. There's even a built-in flashlight for late-night and early-morning training.

One thing about Garmin smartwatches that sets them above the rest is the battery life. The Epix Pro Sapphire Edition delivers up to 16 days in smartwatch mode and up to 30 hours in GPS mode — something Apple could only dream of.

If you want a smartwatch that can actually keep up with your fitness journey, the Garmin Epix Pro is for you. And I highly recommend grabbing it while it's half price.

The weekend is almost here, and the weather is getting warmer outside. That means you're probably want a way to cool off this weekend with a fun new Raspberry Pi project or two. So, here are three Raspberry Pi projects you can try this weekend.

Reading a technical report or a dense academic paper sometimes feels like a chore. You tend to need a quiet desk and hours of uninterrupted time. I used to let important documents pile up in my downloads folder because the mental effort required to go through complex charts and over sophisticated wording felt like a battle of attrition. Google Illuminate ended up being better than NotebookLM, and I pay for the latter monthly.

Looking for something great to watch at home? Streaming subscribers are spoiled for choice between Hulu, Netflix, HBO Max, Disney+, Apple TV, Prime Video, Shudder, Paramount+, Peacock, and more. And that's before you even look at the vast libraries of movies and television programs within each streamer!

Don't be overwhelmed or waste an hour scrolling through your services to determine what to watch. We've got your back, whatever your mood. Mashable offers watch guides for all of the above, broken down by genre: comedy, thriller, horror, documentary, and animation, among others. But if you're seeking something brand new (or just new to streaming), we've got you covered there, too.

15. Psycho Killer

If you love gnarly horror, you might want to check out Psycho Killer, which boasts a script by Andrew Kevin Walker (who wrote Se7en) and comes from the producers of Barbarian and Weapons.

Barbarian's final girl Georgina Campbell stars as a Kansas highway patrol officer on the hunt for the person who murdered her husband. So begins a dark spiral of an investigation that leads her to a serial killer (James Preston Rogers) and carnage. —Kristy Puchko, Entertainment Editor

Starring: Georgina Campbell, James Preston Rogers, Grace Dove, Logan Miller, and Malcolm McDowell

How to watch: Psycho Killer debuts on Hulu on May 29.

14. A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder, Season 2

Wednesday's Emma Myers returns as Pip Fitz-Amobi for another chapter of A Good Girls Guide to Murder, dealing with the fallout from Season 1's Andie Bell investigation. Based on Holly Jackson's popular novels and adapted by the author with Poppy Cogan, Season 2 of the teen mystery series will see another case for Pip and Ravi Singh (Zain Iqbal) to solve in Little Kilton, involving a disappearance and a race against time, as well as a very important court date. — Shannon Connellan, Senior Editor

Starring: Emma Myers, Zain Iqbal, Misia Butler, Eden H. Davies, Jack Rowan, Henry Ashton, and Jude Morgan-Collie

How to watch: A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder Season 2 is streaming on Netflix and BBC iPlayer May 27.

13. Room to Move

Dancer, choreographer, and educator Jenn Freeman is the focus of Room to Move, a documentary from Alexander Hammer (Expecting Amy), which premiered at Tribeca Film Festival last year. Hitting Netflix this week, the film follows a five-year period in Freeman's dance career, through her diagnosis with autism spectrum disorder at 33, and the preparation of her first evening-length solo performance, Is It Thursday Yet?, with choreographer Sonya Tayeh. Executive produced by Amy Schumer and Sarah Sarandos, Room to Move aims to destigmatize autism and not just in the world of dance. — S.C.

How to watch: Room to Move is now streaming on Netflix.

12. Calabasas Confidential

Netflix's new reality series is all about the rich kids of Calabasas, returning to L.A.'s celebrity-inhabited zip code after college and keen to forge their own nepo baby legacies. Calabasas Confidential follows Preston Pippen, Hercy Miller, Raine Michaels, Suede Brooks, and more as they reconnect with friends and exes from Calabasas High School, Sierra Canyon School, Oaks Christian School, and East River High School. But there's also next steps to figure out from their famous parents' sprawling mansions, as they look to build their careers as content creators and influencers, models, fashion designers, sports broadcasters, and cowboys. — S.C.

Starring: Preston Pippen, Hercy Miller, Raine Michaels, Suede Brooks, Alexie Olivo, Ben Favaedi, Dylan Wolf, Emilie Nelson, Emma Medrano, Jemma Durrant, Jodie Woods, Kimora Lewis, Nicole Sahebi, and Sterling Retzlaff

How to watch: Calabasas Confidential begins streaming on Netflix May 29.

11. Smothered

Horror and thriller films about motherhood run the gamut from thematically subtle to bizarrely overt, and we can't get enough of them. Directed by Kevin Rahardjo and Rafki Hidayat, Indonesian film Smothered leans into the folk horror side of the subgenre by reinterpreting the West Sumatran legend of Malin Kundang. In this cautionary tale of filial piety, a man who becomes a wealthy merchant is turned to stone for shunning his mother on his return home.

In Smothered, Rio Dewanto plays Alif, a man who left home as a child to earn money for his mother but didn't return, instead establishing his family and success elsewhere. Then, an accident splinters his memories. When an elderly woman shows up claiming to be his mother, Alif doesn't recognise her. But if he turns her away, will a terrible curse will be unleashed? — S.C.

Starring: Rio Dewanto, Faradina Mufti, Vonny Anggraini, Jordan Omar, Sulthan Hamonangan, Gambit Saifullah, Nova Eliza, and Tony Merle

How to watch: Smothered begins streaming on Shudder May 29.

10. Star City

Apple TV's For All Mankind presents an alternate history of the Space Race, one where the Soviet Union became the first country to send a man to the moon. The show's upcoming spin-off, Star City, rewinds the clock to examine the early days of the Soviet Union's space program. Behind the Iron Curtain unfolds a thriller steeped in paranoia, as the program's cosmonauts, engineers, and more weather moles and leaks in their efforts to push humanity farther than it's ever been before.* — Belen Edwards, Entertainment Reporter

Starring: Rhys Ifans, Anna Maxwell Martin, Agnes O’Casey, Alice Englert, Solly McLeod, Adam Nagaitis, Ruby Ashbourne Serkis, Josef Davies, and Priya Kansara

How to watch: Star City premieres May 29 on Apple TV.

9. The Four Seasons, Season 2

Celebrate the start of summer with some televised vacations thanks to the return of The Four Seasons. Tina Fey, Lang Fisher, and Tracey Wigfield's spin on the 1981 Alan Alda film follows a friend group — played by Fey, Will Forte, Colman Domingo, Marco Calvani, Steve Carell, and Kerri Kenney-Silver — over the course of four vacations. Season 1 ended with the loss of Carell's Nick and the dramatic news that his younger girlfriend Ginny (Erika Henningsen) is pregnant. How will Nick's friends come together to help Ginny, and what gorgeous new locales will they visit next? All will be revealed in Season 2.* — B.E.

Starring: Tina Fey, Will Forte, Colman Domingo, Marco Calvani, Kerri Kenney-Silver, and Erika Henningsen

How to watch: The Four Seasons Season 2 premieres May 28 on Netflix.

8. Deli Boys, Season 2

What happens when your multimillionaire father's death unveils a secret drug empire? That's the problem Mir and Raj Dar (Asif Ali and Saagar Shaikh) face in Season 1 of Hulu's delightful crime comedy Deli Boys. In Season 2, the stakes are even higher: The Dar brothers are swamped with dirty cash, which draws the attention of the shadiest characters in Philadelphia. Among them is Max Sugar (Fred Armisen), who catches the attention of Deli Boys scene stealer Lucky (Poorna Jagannathan). If the fun of the first season somehow isn't enough to draw you back, then surely the promise of the pairing of Armisen and Jagannathan will do the trick.* — B.E.

Starring: Asif Ali, Saagar Shaikh, Poorna Jagannathan, Fred Armisen, Andrew Rannells, Kumail Nanjiani, Lilly Singh, Robin Thede, and Tan France

How to watch: Deli Boys Season 2 premieres May 28 on Hulu and Disney+.

7. Heel

This twisted dark comedy from 2025 centers on a dysfunctional family with a deep love of discipline. Adolescence's Stephen Graham stars as the mild-manned father named Chris, who seems polite to his new housekeeper Rina (Monika Frajczyk) — that is, until she finds the teenage boy shackled up in the basement. But wait, it's not what you might think.

Chris and his quiet wife Kathryn (Andrea Riseborough) and their 10-year-old son Jonathan (Kit Rakusen) are dedicated to making this teen called Tommy into a better person, through extreme measures. While Tommy (Anson Boon) might initially resist, a begrudging familial bond begins to build with his captors.

In my review out of TIFF, I wrote, "If you're seeking funky and fucked-up entertainment, Heel should scratch that late-night movie itch." —K.P.

Starring: Stephen Graham, Andrea Riseborough, Anson Boon, Monika Frajczyk, and Kit Rakusen

How to watch: Heel is now available for rent or purchase on Prime Video.

6. Iron Lung

Markiplier's feature film debut Iron Lung is heading home to the creator's go-to platform: YouTube. In the last few years, 36-year-old creator and streamer Mark Fischbach pivoted to filmmaking, with his first horror movie released in January to colossal theatrical success.

Written, directed, edited, and starring Fischbach, and based on David Szymanski's 2022 post-apocalyptic horror game, Iron Lung follows a space convict tasked with the mission of traversing a sea of blood, within which terror awaits. — S.C.

Starring: Mark "Markiplier" Fischbach, Caroline Kaplan, Troy Baker, Elsie Lovelock, Elle LaMont, Seán "Jacksepticeye" McLoughlin, and Isaac McKee

How to watch: Iron Lung will be available to rent or purchase on YouTube May 31.

5. Over Your Dead Body

The Lonely Island's Jorma Taccone has previously helmed such side-splitting comedies as MacGruber and Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping. Now, he's back with Over Your Dead Body, an American remake of Tommy Wirkola's 2021 horror-comedy The Trip.

Samara Weaving and Jason Segel co-star as a couple who travel to a remote cabin, theoretically to reconnect. But their dark hearts are separately planning a drastic breakup tactic: murdering their mate.*

In my review out of SXSW, I wrote, "If you're looking for a twisted good time, Over Your Dead Body will deliver. It's not radically different from its source material yet charts its own course in some compelling ways. And if your humor leans toward the dark side, you won't want to miss this." — K.P.

Starring: Samara Weaving, Jason Segel, Timothy Olyphant, Juliette Lewis, Paul Guilfoyle, and Keith Jardine

How to watch: Over Your Dead Body is available to rent or purchase on Prime Video.

4. Bring Me the Beauties

If you're ready to feel deeply uncomfortable, HBO documentary Bring Me the Beauties promises to rattle, perplex, or enrage you. Directed by Chris Smith (Fyre), the three-part series delves into the Eternal Values cult run by exploitative New York socialite Frederick von Mierers, through the experience of supermodel Hoyt Richards. In 1978, as a 16-year-old, Richards was recruited into the beauty-obsessed group by its wealthy leader, then rose to global fame in the '80s.

However, the darker side of Eternal Values would see Richards and other young professional models financially and psychologically ensnared in von Mierers' web of bogus New Age (and alien-based) dogma. But what actually happened within the Eternal Values cult? There's much to reflect on in this doc. — S.C.

How to watch: Bring Me the Beauties begins streaming on HBO Max June 1.

3. Scream 7

Neve Campbell, Courteney Cox, and Matthew Lillard reunited for Scream 7, marking the highest-grossing sequel this franchise has seen. But if you somehow missed how exactly Lillard is returning to the slasher film series after his character Stu Macher was killed off by a TV in Scream, we'd recommend the video below. Visiting our Say More studio, he gave the only kind of spoilers he was allowed, through telepathy.

Shenanigans aside, Scream 7 brought Scream screenwriter Kevin Williamson back to the franchise and on as director. The results were a wild ride that had Sydney Prescott (Campbell) defending her teen daughter Tatum (Isabel May) from Ghostface. In my review, I cheered, "As someone who has long counted Scream as the best of the batch, I yearned for a sequel that recaptured that feeling of discovery but also shared in my affection for the first film. Scream 7 does that, paying homage without being beholden to audience expectation or constrictive lore. Incredibly, Williams gives us a hearty dose of nostalgia and Easter eggs while providing new ideas, weird reveals, and fresh chills."* — K.P.

Starring: Neve Campbell, Courteney Cox, Matthew Lillard, Isabel May, Jasmin Savoy Brown, Mason Gooding, Anna Camp, Joel McHale, Mckenna Grace, Michelle Randolph, Asa Germann, Celeste O'Connor, Sam Rechner, Ethan Embry, Timothy Simons, and Mark Consuelos

How to watch: Scream 7 begins streaming on Paramount+ May 28.

2. The Moment

Charli XCX offers a mockumentary that explores her Brat Summer moment through a thin, crackling sheen of neon-green comedy. The plot follows Charli from promo demands to tour prep to ultra-exclusive spas and shattering personal meltdowns. While she and her trusted creative director, Celeste (Hailey Benton Gates), have a pulsing nightclub vision for the Brat tour, a ever-smiling documentarian named Johannes (Alexander Skarsgård) pressures for a more mainstream vision that'll appeal to "dads."

In my review out of Sundance, I cheered, "Rather than broadly skewering the rich and famous, The Moment shrewdly targets the corporate side of making art for a living. Through celebrity cameos, a succinct yet riveting story, earnest emotion, and biting humor, Charli XCX's mockumentary captures something real about the battle of art versus commerce. How does one hold onto themselves when hit by an avalanche of more, more, more, for better or worse? The Moment shows one answer, urging audiences to find their own."* — K.P.

Starring: Charli XCX, Rosanna Arquette, Kate Berlant, Jamie Demetriou, Hailey Benton Gates, Isaac Powell, and Alexander Skarsgård

How to watch: The Moment begins streaming on HBO Max May 29.

Best of streaming this week: Spider-Noir

It's impossible to single out just one highlight in the Academy Award–winning Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, but hearing Nicolas Cage voice the ultra-broody Spider-Man Noir is certainly up there. This year, Cage takes that portrayal into live action with Spider-Noir, which audiences can watch in black and white or color.

SEE ALSO: I watched 'Spider-Noir' in black and white and color, and there's a clear winner

The series takes place in 1930s New York, where Cage's Ben Reilly is a grizzled private investigator who also happens to be the city's only superhero. Here's hoping he gets to drink all the egg creams and punch all the Nazis he wants. If it's even half as fun as Spider-Man Noir's appearance in Into the Spider-Verse, I'm all for it.* — B.E.

Starring: Nicolas Cage, Lamorne Morris, Brendan Gleeson, Abraham Popoola, Li Jun Li, Karen Rodriguez, and Jack Huston

How to watch: Spider-Noir is streaming on Prime Video May 27.
