The Windows Task Manager is a fairly powerful resource monitoring tool that's more than enough for most people, but it's a bit too limiting for power users. While you can use it in combination with Process Explorer, a component of Microsoft's Sysinternals suite, you can also opt for a third-party alternative that offers both basic and advanced features in one package.

The biggest story in the streaming world over the past 12 months (besides the confusing Warner Bros. situation)? Price hikes. So many price hikes. So, we could all benefit from some streaming deals right about now.

Black Friday is the best time of year to score discounts on streaming apps, but any major sale or shopping holiday tends to deliver a few discounts. And Amazon's Big Spring Sale (officially running until March 31) is holding true to that trend. While the overall number of deals is no match for Black Friday, we'll certainly take any discounts we can get.

As Mashable's go-to streaming expert, I'll be keeping a close eye out for streaming deals throughout the Big Spring Sale. For now, here are the best streaming offers live during the sale. I've also included deals on streaming devices like Fire TV Sticks, as well as some evergreen streaming deals I think are worth grabbing.

Best streaming deal overall Opens in a new window Credit: Paramount+ Paramount+ Premium $2.99/month for 2 months (save $22) Get Deal Why we like it

On the surface, this is the same offer as the streamer's Black Friday deal. However, because Paramount Plus hiked its prices in January, this Big Spring Sale discount actually saves you more money. It now costs $13.99 per month for the ad-free Premium plan and $8.99 per month for the ad-supported Essential plan.

Through March 31, you can lock in two months of either plan for only $2.99 per month. That saves you $22 if you choose the Premium plan (why wouldn't you?). Both new and ex-subscribers are eligible for this deal, and it's valid on Paramount+ as a standalone service or on the Prime Video add-on.

Psst. It's also worth mentioning that an extra discount code is floating around that could potentially knock the price down to just 99 cents per month for two months. However, it appears to work for some folks and not others. Try adding the additional promo code BG2L7M at checkout to see if you're one of the lucky ones.

Best music streaming deal Opens in a new window Credit: Spotify Spotify Premium free for 3 months (save $38.97) Get Deal Why we like it

If you've never tried Spotify Premium before, you can snag three free months of the music streaming service through March 31. Typically, it costs $12.99 per month, so you'll keep nearly $40 in your pocket with this deal. A Premium account unlocks ad-free listening, the ability to download music for offline listening and collaborate with friends in real time, 15 hours of audiobook time, and lossless audio. Plus, you'll get weekly listening stats and, should you choose to keep your subscription, access to the famous Wrapped stats.

Already tried Spotify Premium? Amazon Music Unlimited is also offering three free months of its streaming service through March 31. It regularly goes for $11.99/month for Prime members and $12.99/month for non-Prime members, so you can save up to $38.97 with this streaming deal. Besides unlimited music streaming, you'll also get access to one audiobook per month.

Best streaming device deal Opens in a new window Credit: Amazon Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Select $14.99 at Amazon
$39.99 Save $25 Redeem the code FTVSELECT Get Deal Why we like it

The newest Fire TV Stick, the 4K Select, is the first streaming device in Amazon's lineup to shake things up in awhile. While it still offers the same plug-and-play design you know and love, it features a brand-new operating system called Vega. Given how laggy the previous operating system could be on Fire TV Sticks, we're pretty excited about this change. It also offers support for Alexa+, Amazon Kids+, Amazon Luna, Xbox Game Pass, and NordVPN, and delivers 4K quality with HDR10+ support.

As part of the Big Spring Sale, it's now down to just $14.99 instead of $39.99. Redeem the code FTVSELECT to access this discount.

Welcome to your guide to Pips, the latest game in the New York Times catalogue.

Released in August 2025, the Pips puts a unique spin on dominoes, creating a fun single-player experience that could become your next daily gaming habit.

Currently, if you're stuck, the game only offers to reveal the entire puzzle, forcing you to move onto the next difficulty level and start over. However, we have you covered! Below are piecemeal answers that will serve as hints so that you can find your way through each difficulty level.

How to play Pips

If you've ever played dominoes, you'll have a passing familiarity for how Pips is played. As we've shared in our previous hints stories for Pips, the tiles, like dominoes, are placed vertically or horizontally and connect with each other. The main difference between a traditional game of dominoes and Pips is the color-coded conditions you have to address. The touching tiles don't necessarily have to match.

SEE ALSO: Wordle today: Answer, hints for March 27, 2026

The conditions you have to meet are specific to the color-coded spaces. For example, if it provides a single number, every side of a tile in that space must add up to the number provided. It is possible – and common – for only half a tile to be within a color-coded space.

Here are common examples you'll run into across the difficulty levels:

• Number: All the pips in this space must add up to the number.

• Equal: Every domino half in this space must be the same number of pips.

• Not Equal: Every domino half in this space must have a completely different number of pips.

• Less than: Every domino half in this space must add up to less than the number.

• Greater than: Every domino half in this space must add up to more than the number.

If an area does not have any color coding, it means there are no conditions on the portions of dominoes within those spaces.

Amazon’s Big Spring Sale, which runs through March 31, has plenty of deals for creators looking for a bargain. None are better than the offers on the DJI Osmo Pocket 3, a 4K gimbal camera. Mashable’s tech editor hailed this camera as “close to perfect” in his review.

All content creators reach a point where they need to stop using their phone and start investing in pro gear — microphones, video cameras, portable lights, everything. And the DJI Osmo Pocket 3 Gimbal Camera has emerged as a popular all-in-one solution, which is why it has a cult following among vloggers, creators, and videographers.

Why we love the DJI Osmo Pocket 3

Every time our reporters attend a conference or event with a lot of creators, this camera is everywhere. It's often hard to find in stock, let alone at a record price.

The DJI Osmo Pocket 3 Creator Combo, which includes a DJI microphone, is currently marked down to $569. (Just a few hours ago, this camera was marked down to $531, so prices are changing fast.) That’s a $60 saving on the regular list price of $629. You can also buy the camera on its own for $439, a new record low price for this popular gimbal camera, according to camelcamelcamel.

DJI is best known for awesome drones, but the tech brand makes premium devices in the content creation category. This camera is small but hugely impressive, with a 3-axis gimbal for steady video and face tracking. Other helpful features include face detection, vertical video mode, 180-degree Spinshot motion, and wireless connectivity to DJI microphones (which are also on sale).

Mashable tech editor Timothy Beck Werth reviewed the DJI Osmo Pocket 3 back in 2023 and said, “It really is hard for me to imagine a better camera for video content creators. Because it can connect wirelessly to your devices, you can use this for both recording video and livestreaming.” Three years later, it's still the best in its category.

The DJI Osmo Pocket 3 rarely goes on sale, so grab the DJI Osmo Pocket 3 Creator Combo for $569 in the Amazon Big Spring Sale. You can also grab the camera on its own for $439.

I'll let you in on a little secret about portable power stations — they're almost always on some type of discount. It's rare that I see any of my favorite models listed at full price, which is not a bad thing. But it makes it harder to discern a good deal from a meh deal. To help out, I've scrolled the pages of the Amazon Big Spring Sale to find the deals I think are actually worth buying.

A portable power station has become a must-have tech item. It's like your favorite noise-cancelling earbuds — no idea how we survived without them. They've been my savior during power outages to keep the refrigerator running, my phone charged up, and the WiFi router connected. They're also well worth packing along on upcoming camping trips. Think of movie nights under the stars with a powered-up portable projector and fresh popcorn.

The one snag here is that batteries aren't cheap, and that's especially true of high-tech and long-lasting batteries found in portable power stations. Because of this, I recommend shopping for a power station during major sales like the Amazon Big Spring Sale is a wise move. Here are some of my favorite models seeing steep discounts during the sale. I'll keep this page updated as the sale rolls in and we see new deals pop up.

It's also capable of recharging your phones and keeping the WiFi router on for an extended period of time.

After testing dozens of portable power stations, one of my go-to models for taking along on a weekend of camping is the Anker Solix C1000 Gen 2. Sure, you can go lighter and even more portable models, but I love the Solix C1000's combination of 1,024Wh, three USB-C ports, and the excellent Anker Solix app. It's also incredibly easy to carry around the campground, weighing under 25 pounds. Plus, Anker won a Guinness World Record for the power station's ability to recharge in just 49 minutes.

So, when a tricky clue disrupts a player's flow, it can be frustrating! If you find yourself stumped playing The Mini — much like with Wordle and Connections — we have you covered.

We have seen the future of AI via Large Language Models. And it's smaller than you think.

That much was clear in 2025, when we first saw China's DeepSeek — a slimmer, lighter LLM that required way less data center energy to do its job and performed surprisingly well on benchmark tests against heftier American AI models. (Ironically, it was built atop an open source U.S. model, Meta's Llama).

DeepSeek may have foundered on privacy concerns, but the trend towards smaller and smarter AI isn't going away. The evolution is on display again in TurboQuant, a compression algorithm that Google quietly unveiled this week via a Google Research paper.

The paper itself is pretty impenetrable if you're not an AI nerd who talks tokens and high-dimensional vectors. We'll get into a more detailed explanation below. But here's the TL;DR: The TurboQuant algorithm can make LLMs' memory usage six times smaller.

What does that mean? Less energy usage, perhaps to the point where running a powerful AI model on your powerful smartphone becomes possible. Less RAM usage, right on time for the ongoing RAM shortage.

Certainly, algorithms like this can help LLMs make more efficient use of the data centers they're hosted in — either by using the extra space to run more complex models, or, hear me out, by allowing us not to rush into building so many unpopular new data centers in the first place.

And that, paradoxically, could be a problem for the AI economy, at least as it's currently structured.

Why smaller and smarter will mess up NVIDIA

For the past three years, tech stocks have been riding ever higher on the back of one company alone: NVIDIA. And NVIDIA has been riding ever higher on the assumption that we're in the middle of what CEO Jensen Huang called this month "the largest infrastructure buildout in history" — an explosion of data centers, for which NVIDIA will be the chief provider of chips.

But that infrastructure build-out, if you look at data centers actually built versus data centers promised, is already stumbling, as a fresh New York Times investigation just made clear. What's the holdup? Not just opposition from concerned citizens across the U.S., now including the NAACP. It's also permits, applications, inspections, and the other unsexy but often necessary parts of the local government machinery.

Not least of the problems: A dearth of power generation and transmission, which doesn't sit well with the AI industry's unquantifiable ability to soak up electricity and suck up water.

What happens when the desire for more AI runs into a lack of infrastructure? Well, then necessity becomes the mother of invention. We learn to do more with less. And that's exactly what TurboQuant does.

Middle-out compression

Here's that explanation — although since TurboQuant is a compression algorithm, you'd be forgiven for imagining Google had the same NSFW "middle out" compression algorithm inspiration that drove the plot of the HBO comedy Silicon Valley.

So there's a couple of energy "bottlenecks" when AI models reach for something they really want and frequently use. One is called the key-value cache, which is like a really hot library that stores the most-used information. The other is the vector search, which matches things that look the same. TurboQuant effectively lubricates both at once, making memory grabs faster, smoother, and less fraught.

TurboQuant "helps unclog key-value cache bottlenecks by reducing the size of key-value pairs," Google's paper says, in part by the "clever" move of "randomly rotating the data vectors."

Got that? No? Well, it doesn't really matter. All you need to know is that there's a promising new field of extremely complex computational mathematics, and it works the way compression algorithms have long worked — making new technology faster, lighter, easier to run.

First, it was ZIP file downloads, then the video compression that enabled the streaming revolution, and now it's AI. The result could allow a more powerful LLM to run entirely on your phone, or it could crash the global economy, or both at the same time. Isn't life in 2026 wild?

NASA will shelve its plan for a small lunar space station in favor of building a base directly on the moon.

For years, the U.S. space agency talked up Gateway, a station that would circle the moon and act as both a lab and pit stop for lunar missions. Now, after another hard look at time, money, and logistics, officials say executing that project would only slow them down on the way to the main event: getting astronauts back on the moon — before China beats them to it. 

As NASA prepares to launch Artemis II, a 10-day crewed flight around the moon that could lift off as early as Wednesday, April 1, agency leaders are overhauling the moon-landing missions that will follow it, trying to ensure the first boots in the dust since 1972 are American. That means sticking a landing during the Artemis IV mission in 2028. 

But as for NASA's time crunch for the moon base, that part is largely self-inflicted. A target of 2030 for installing the first pieces of the astronaut habitat stemmed from Gateway plans the agency sold to stakeholders years ago. To keep the date, the agency says it must skip the space station — the project that helped establish the timeline in the first place. 

President Donald Trump signed an executive order in December that mandated some kind of lunar outpost by 2030, but there's a catch: The directive can only set the policy deadline and has no control over the funding. So while NASA wants $20 billion over seven years to build the newly envisioned base, it lacks a financial guarantee from Congress to cover the full cost. Meanwhile, many U.S. lawmakers are focused on trying to save other space and Earth science initiatives Trump wants to cut. 

"I can't imagine anyone would rather their astronauts be above the moon looking down where all the action is, as opposed to being on the surface itself," said NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman.

The sweeping change to NASA's lunar ambitions came during an agency-hosted meeting in Washington this week dubbed Ignition, which sought to galvanize support from contractors, international space partners, and lawmakers. 

Astronauts would build the moon base at the lunar south pole, a region about the size of Virginia. The area has deep, shadowed craters that may hold ancient ice and other frozen material. If NASA can mine those resources, crews could use them for living and working on the surface without needing constant resupply from Earth.

The new plan rolls out in three phases. Over the next two years, NASA wants to prove it can hit the lunar surface often and reliably, using roughly two-dozen launches and more than 20 mostly commercial landings to drop off robots at the south pole, scout for water, and test nuclear-powered heaters that can maintain hardware in long stretches of darkness and cold. 

Around 2029, heftier landers would bring in power and communications gear, and rugged rovers would start leveling the ground for living quarters, assisted by a pressurized rover that would double as a mobile home. Then, in the 2030s, crews would get several habitat modules to support longer stays, as well as a steady stream of cargo flights carrying supplies and returning lunar samples to Earth.

A major goal of this final phase is learning how to use the moon's own soil, called regolith, said Carlos Garcia-Galan, the moon base program executive. NASA plans to test 3D printing and other methods to turn the material into bricks, and to extract oxygen, water, and other elements that could be useful for supporting the base.

NASA argues that learning to live on the moon is a necessary step toward getting humans to Mars. If something were to break, a Martian crew would be stuck for months in a distant, hostile world. 

By running a base on the moon, the agency hopes to work through the challenges of keeping people alive, especially during the long lunar nights of extreme cold, fixing critical gear without quick resupply and using local resources while astronauts are still only a three‑day trip away from home.

"Clearly, when we get to Mars, we're going to need some of this capability," Garcia-Galan said, "and when we get there, it's going to be tried and true."

As for the sidelined Gateway project, NASA says the space station hasn't been canceled and could be reprioritized later. But given the agency intends to repurpose some of the hardware for the moon base, its future is uncertain. 

Test labs and other equipment that were built for the space station would shift to serving surface missions. By scrapping Gateway for parts, officials think they can pay for the base without a massive top-line increase.

"It does look like science fiction, but guess what," Garcia-Galan said, "we're planning to turn that into reality."
