There are several reasons why you might prefer using web apps over desktop apps. You don't need to install anything, you can access the apps from anywhere, and it doesn't matter which operating system you're using. Many web apps offer a very similar experience to the desktop versions, but here are some desktop apps that are simply better.

Google Maps on iOS has a new feature that could save you a few minutes of aimlessly walking through a parking lot.

The feature, announced by Google Maps senior product manager Rio Akasaka and reported by MacRumors, is available on iOS — and it's very simple to use.

Connect your iPhone's Google Maps app to your car via CarPlay, Bluetooth, and USB. Once you're done driving, Google Maps will remember where you parked by dropping a pin on the map with a label "You parked here." The pin will disappear once you drive away.

The feature essentially automates Google Maps' old "Save where you parked" feature, which is still available, along with the tool that shows you where you can find a park.

The ability to remember parking spots was added to Google Maps about a month ago, but it was slightly visually enhanced last week. Now, if you have a custom vehicle icon set in Google Maps, you'll see it on your parking spot on the map (instead of the somewhat boring "P" icon).

If you're wondering where you can set that custom vehicle icon, here are the instructions: Open Google Maps, start Navigation, tap the blue arrow (or the car icon if you've previously changed it), and select your preferred driving avatar (icon) by swiping left or right).

Paramount is currently trying to overtop Netflix's bid to buy Warner Bros., and Stephen Colbert — who works for Paramount-owned CBS, and whose show is due to end next April due to its controversial cancellation — has something to say about the big figures being thrown around.

"Friday we learned that Netflix put in a bid to acquire Warner Brothers for $82.7 billion," the Late Show host says in the clip above. "That's a lot of cash. You know what that means? Someone, somewhere, must be paying for their own Netflix account. But just yesterday morning my beloved parent company, Paramount, reportedly launched a hostile takeover bid for Warner Brothers valued at $108 billion. Wow. I gotta say, if my company's got that kind of green, I'm sure they can afford to uncancel one of their best shows."

The Late Show-loaded comment leads to cheers and a growing chant of "Stephen, Stephen!"

"CBS, you heard the people!" cries Colbert. "Bring back The Equalizer!"

Porn has taken a hit in the UK in the wake of the introduction of compulsory age verification this year, according to communications regulator Ofcom.

VPN usage more than doubled, while porn viewership plummeted following the enforcement of age checks, per Ofcom's Online Nation report, released Wednesday.

Prior to July 25, when age verification became mandatory in the UK, VPNs had around 650K daily users. By mid-August, 1.5 million users were accessing VPNs, and by November that number had declined to 900K.

Porn sites, meanwhile, saw a sharp drop in users in the immediate aftermath of the law coming into effect, according to the report. Pornhub, the largest UK porn service, saw a dramatic decrease in traffic in the month after age checks came into play. In August, Pornhub's total website visitors was down by 1.5 million compared to August 2024 (11.3 million in Aug. 2024 compared to 9.8 million in Aug. 2025). Since then, traffic to the top 10 most-visited porn services has stayed at a "lower level" than prior to July.

SEE ALSO: What would ethical age verification look like online?

The UK's new Online Safety Act states that websites with explicit content are legally required to install age-checks for all users, so minors don't access the content. Any websites or apps that fail to comply will be liable for fines of £18 million or 10 percent of worldwide revenue.

Five million age checks are now completed on a daily basis in the UK, according to the Age Verification Providers Association (AVPA). And, per Ofcom's report, 7.8 million visitors from the UK are accessing adult sites which have rolled out age checks.

Age checks are not only impacting those accessing pornography online. Newsletter platform Substack announced in Nov. 2025 that it would require UK users to complete age checks in order to comply with the law. Dating apps including Feeld, Tinder, Hinge, and Bumble also announced that they would comply with the country's requirements.

Child safety is at the core of the Online Safety Act. That being said, research shows that age verification laws do not succeed in keeping minors away from adult content.

SEE ALSO: Porn censorship is going to destroy the entire internet

As Mashable associate editor Anna Iovine has reported, "Experts have long told Mashable that these laws won't work for their intended purpose of keeping minors off pornographic websites." Experts have also expressed serious concerns about the broader impact of these laws on the way adults access the entire internet, not just porn.

Donald Trump's transportation secretary Sean Duffy wants to improve airports, announcing $1 billion in funding for grant programs on Monday. In a press conference for his "Make Travel Family Friendly Again" initiative, Duffy suggested possible additions for airports, all of which The Daily Show's Ronny Chieng went through with a fine-toothed comb.

For starters, Duffy suggested, "Maybe you want to have a different lane for families to get through TSA."

"How are you the transportation secretary?" Chieng said. "Your big idea is the same one every annoyed dad has at the airport. 'Hey, just open another lane!'"

Next, Duffy proposed expanding play areas for kids at airports.

"Yeah, expand the airport play areas. Those things are basically pandemic laboratories," said Chieng. "Hey, I have an idea, how about every kid from around the world gets together and swaps viruses before they get on a new flight?"

Finally, Duffy recommended "a workout area where people might get some blood flow and doing some pull ups or some step ups in the airport."

"You think people want to work out in transit at the airport?" asked Chieng. "Everyone at the airport is already exhausted from traveling, alright? We can't even walk to the gate, you had to invent floors that walk for us. Also, this is the same guy who wants us to dress up when we fly. So what, now I'm doing pull ups in a tuxedo before I jump on a 12-hour flight to Hawaii? Why don't you just throw in a hot yoga room in the terminal so everyone really smells like shit when they board the plane?"

Donald Trump has been making negative comments about the various late night hosts for a long time now, but he seems to have a particular grudge against Jimmy Kimmel — something the late night host's guest David Letterman raised on Tuesday night's Jimmy Kimmel Live! show.

"People are aware of the fact that you are the leader of the resistance?" asks Letterman in the video above, before lending his support to Kimmel.

"Speaking of leaders, let me just say one thing here. I'm going to suck up to you, because I feel like if I kind of tag along with you I'll be glorified in retrospect. Now this is irrespective of party or political ideology. If the leader of the free world is a fool, the leader of the free world then should expect and examine every bit of ridicule he receives."

Elsewhere, Amber Ruffin also stuck up for Seth Meyers over the comments Trump has made about the Late Night host.

The NYT's latest daily word game has become a social media hit. The Times credits associate puzzle editor Wyna Liu with helping to create the new word game and bringing it to the publications' Games section. Connections can be played on both web browsers and mobile devices and require players to group four words that share something in common.

This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.

Each puzzle features 16 words and each grouping of words is split into four categories. These sets could comprise of anything from book titles, software, country names, etc. Even though multiple words will seem like they fit together, there's only one correct answer.

If a player gets all four words in a set correct, those words are removed from the board. Guess wrong and it counts as a mistake—players get up to four mistakes until the game ends.

This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.

Players can also rearrange and shuffle the board to make spotting connections easier. Additionally, each group is color-coded with yellow being the easiest, followed by green, blue, and purple. Like Wordle, you can share the results with your friends on social media.

Today's NYT Strands hints are easy if you love to be recognized.

Strands, the New York Times' elevated word-search game, requires the player to perform a twist on the classic word search. Words can be made from linked letters — up, down, left, right, or diagonal, but words can also change direction, resulting in quirky shapes and patterns. Every single letter in the grid will be part of an answer. There's always a theme linking every solution, along with the "spangram," a special, word or phrase that sums up that day's theme, and spans the entire grid horizontally or vertically.
