USB ports are pretty confusing by default, in the sense that they all look the same, but they are very far from the same. I already knew that, and yet, testing the ports on my PC case definitely gave me pause.

If your TikTok feed is not giving you Unsighted on the regular, you're missing out. The Mashable 101 honoree has been channeling his incredible energy and contagious glee into his music, transit karaoke, and, of course, white girl dancing.

The Toronto native has been bringing joy to fans online and in person as he's traveled near and far, ready to bust a move to bouncy pop songs. So when he came to Anaheim for VidCon 2026, Mashable Entertainment Editor Kristy Puchko was giddy to sit down with the poet himself to talk about his approach to content creation, meeting his fans IRL, and what it meant to him to be selected for Mash 101.

For more from our interview with Unsighted, look to Mashable's Creator Playbook and social channels. Because, of course, we celebrated the end of VidCon by white girl dancing with this Tiktok icon.

The French author Antoine de Saint-Exupéry said that "perfection is achieved, not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing left to take away.” I wanted to see how close I could get to perfection with a minimal Linux desktop running just the Openbox window manager.

Nintendo is closing out the Switch 1 era in style.

For the past couple of weeks, I've been leisurely digging my way through Rhythm Heaven Groove. At the time of publication, it's the only announced upcoming first-party game for the original Nintendo Switch console, which could potentially give it a unique place in history. To be clear, I'm fairly confident that Nintendo will release at least a couple more games for the OG Switch before too long, but for now, Rhythm Heaven is all that's left.

And what a way for the Switch to go out, if this is indeed its swan song. The latest entry in one of Nintendo's most eclectic franchises is also one of the most eminently approachable games for the platform. All you need is a basic sense of rhythm and the ability to hit one, maybe two buttons now and then. Between that, its low $40 price, and its sublime sense of style, anyone who has yet to pick up a Switch 2 really ought to give Rhythm Heaven Groove a shot.

If you've never played a Rhythm Heaven game (and I suspect there's a good chance that's true), they're made up of dozens of little unique musical minigames that each take only a couple of minutes to complete. Each one has its own premise, visual style, and music, but at the end of the day, you're doing the same thing in all of them: trying to adhere to a beat and press one or two buttons when the rhythm calls for it.

A big part of what makes Rhythm Heaven work, both in Groove and in the games before it, is that each minigame has an attractive, somewhat low-fi 2D visual style to it. Characters and backgrounds are all eminently endearing to the eye, and rather charmingly, no part of it looks like a mega-budget GTA VI-style production. Of course, the music is fantastic, too, with beats that are simple enough for even the non-musicians among us to keep up with, and melodies that'll stick in your head for at least a few minutes after you're done.

If you want to get a quick idea of what Rhythm Heaven's whole vibe is, I will direct you towards Monkey Watch, a minigame from Rhythm Heaven Fever for Wii. I promise the series has not changed much since then, to its benefit.

Look at these freaks! Credit: Nintendo

I also dig the structure here. Minigames are divided into groups of four, and once you've completed all four in a group, you're treated to a playable remix level that mashes all of them together into one song. These are generally the highlight of the experience, as it's fun to see (and hear) how four different musical minigames can come together into something that actually feels coherent.

Groove, of course, has a little more going for it than just a series of single-player minigames. One of the big side modes here is Beatspell, a rhythm-based RPG where you mash out little musical combos to cast spells in fights against monsters, complete with experience points and leveling up. I need to spend more time with this to make a proper judgment, but at the very least, this is a really cool thing to include alongside the main event.

Similarly, the multiplayer offerings here should be a good time for living room hangout sessions. I am particularly partial to the four-player game where each person tries to grab a slice of cake at just the right moment, and whoever comes closest to nailing the timing wins. It's a fun game, but I mostly love it because each character has a stupid color-coded pompadour haircut that grows longer each time they win a round. That's the kind of spirit that Rhythm Heaven has always had.

It also represents what made the Switch era so great

You should play Rhythm Heaven Groove because it's charming, cool, and, again, only $40. But beyond its quality as a game, I really like what it represents about the Switch era for Nintendo.

Namely, the past nine years have been great for exposing Nintendo fans to franchises beyond the safe confines of Mario and Zelda. The Switch era made me a fan of Fire Emblem, Xenoblade Chronicles, Luigi's Mansion, Tomodachi Life, and now Rhythm Heaven, and those are just the ones I can remember off the top of my head right now. Heck, even Metroid got revived in both 2D and Prime form.

Yes, a handful of important (or important-to-me) series missed out on the OG Switch, with F-Zero probably topping that list. But for the most part, if you're the kind of person who maybe didn't spend as much time playing the DS or 3DS as they should have (subtweeting myself here), the Switch has been a great excuse to learn about a bunch of different, cool games that used to live primarily on handheld platforms.

Given that Rhythm Heaven fits that description perfectly, maybe it is the best way to close out the Switch era. For now, anyway.

All the main power tool brands make a ton of excellent tools and accessories, and you probably own several. And while each brand has its fair share of fans, they're all somewhat similar in their offerings. That said, the tool lineups are different, and what gives Milwaukee an advantage isn't what you think.

When foldable phones were first introduced, they felt both groundbreaking and nostalgic. However, the category has started to feel stale, with few truly groundbreaking upgrades in recent years. That is why I am waiting until 2027 to buy a foldable phone, as the competition appears likely to become much more intense by then.

Much of the country is enduring what could become a historic heat wave as we approach the July 4th holiday weekend. Although many of us can escape the heat in our cars during our daily commute, not every luxury feature is helpful when the mercury soars.

Netflix's lineup of new movies in July includes entertaining sequels, riveting documentaries, and tons of star power. The streamer is releasing the third installment in its popular Enola Holmes franchise on July 1. The movie marks the return of Millie Bobby Brown as the youngest sleuth in an iconic literary family.

Being so famous you could send your friends a meme that's actually you is the ultimate flex, according to Mindy Kaling.

Interviewed by pal Amy Poehler on her podcast Good Hang, the star talks about her latest comedy Not Suitable for Work (with a guest question from the Hulu series' star Avantika), and the pair chat about their shared rise to fame through improv, interning on Late Night with Conan O'Brien, their love for Saturday Night Live, and not agreeing on a capella.

Best bit?

Kaling and Poehler really get into all things The Office, of which Kaling wrote more episodes of than any other writer, and was the only woman in the writers room. Kaling talks about how she ended up playing the iconic Kelly Kapoor, and as promised, they chat about the fact that they're both memes.

"I love being a meme. It makes me feel young," says Kaling.

"Are you kidding me? It's my dream," responds Pohler. "I've actually been like, can I send people my own memes?"

"Oh, do it. It's such a mic drop," says Kaling.

"It's such a weird...but there's no higher compliment," says Poehler.

"I send people memes of Kelly saying, 'This day is bananas,' all day long," says Kaling.

One of the most common reasons for switching to Linux is to breathe some life into older hardware, which often struggles with Windows' increasingly bloated demands. While that is a great reason to switch, the performance boost isn't actually what I've enjoyed the most about switching to Linux—the user-first approach is.

De’Longhi has expanded its Classic Espresso Machine lineup with two new finishes: Matte Black and Stainless Steel. Both models build on last year’s launch, continuing the brand’s push to make café-style espresso more approachable for everyday home setups.

At the core, they’re designed around the same idea — simple, compact machines that aim to bring espresso, lattes, cappuccinos, and more into reach without a steep learning curve.

The De’Longhi Classic Espresso Machine in Matte Black is the more affordable way into making café-style coffee at home. Priced at $149.95 in the U.S., it has a matte black finish and a steam wand that froths milk or plant-based alternatives.

It uses 9-bar pressure to pull espresso shots and heats up quickly with thermoblock technology so it’s ready to brew fast. You can choose single or double shots with preset buttons, and save your preferred drink size. With an adjustable tray, 57 oz water tank, and included tamper and filter baskets, it’s an easy, no-fuss setup.

The De’Longhi Classic Espresso Machine in Stainless Steel is designed as a step-up option for anyone who wants café-style drinks with a bit more control. It’s priced at $179.95 in the U.S. and $229.95 in Canada. The classic espresso machine pairs a premium stainless steel finish with versatile 2-setting steam wand for milk-based drinks like cappuccinos, lattes, and iced americanos.

Inside, it uses a 15-bar pump that delivers consistent 9-bar extraction with auto-stop for repeatable espresso shots, along with a thermoblock system that heats quickly and maintains stable temperature. You can pull single or double shots at the press of a button, then adjust drinks using the steam wand, which produces everything from steamed milk to microfoam — and also dispenses hot water for americanos and tea.

If you're looking for a brilliant interview between two icons at the top of their game, watch Keke Palmer interviewing Michelle Buteau.

On the latest episode of Baby, This is Keke Palmer, the podcast host (and Mashable 101 alumnus) chats with the Survival of the Thickest and Babes star and it's simply glorious to watch. The pair talk about the latest and final season of Buteau's Netflix show, her history-making Radio City Music Hall show, motherhood, growing up in Central Jersey with Caribbean heritage, the worst interview questions ("What would you ask your younger self?"), and they play a chaotic game of Password.

Best bit?

Palmer and Buteau's conversation about body confidence and the exhausting shaming comments Buteau's been told about by people in her life, from her family to producers.

"I always say representation is so important, because if you don't see yourself, how do you ever know that you could be it? And how do you learn about anybody else, if you're just seeing the same type of people all the time, the same type of bodies?" says Buteau, explaining how she found her now-signature sense of self love and confidence despite these negative comments.

"I was angry for a while, and comedy really saved me because I was able to talk about it, make it funny, yell, and eventually go the therapy," Buteau later adds. "But I'm thankful for those experiences, because when people say we fight for joy, I fight for it, within myself, for everybody else. And now I know how to love my children and how to raise them. Because I'm like, it ain't about even me, it's you, this is your body. The most important relationship you will ever have is the one you have with yourself.

"So I am actually thankful for those experiences because they really have taught me how to live in an unbridled, joyful way where nobody can fucking touch it."

Daters are a bit fickle with their feelings on AI, with some saying companion AI is a dealbreaker but still using it to conjure up messages to a potential date. But a new survey from the dating app Hily suggests that it's sexy to be a Luddite.

Sixty percent of Gen Z and 54 percent of millennials would find someone extremely attractive if they admitted to never using AI to make personal decisions, according to a Hily survey of 3,500 American Gen Z and millennial daters.

SEE ALSO: What's dating in 2026 like? Single women tell all.

Meanwhile, 64 percent of Gen Z and 56 percent of millennial daters wouldn't date someone who does. Even more (75 percent of Gen Z and 68 percent of millennials) would be immediately turned off if a date used AI to decide whether they should go on a second date.

Among Gen Zers who wouldn't date someone who regularly used AI to make decisions, the top three dealbreakers are using AI to analyze a relationship conflict (75 percent), processing emotions like a therapist (69 percent), and seeking career advice (56 percent).

Asking AI about private matters is also a red flag, this survey suggests. Sixty-two percent of Gen Z and 53 percent of millennial daters in the U.S. wouldn't date someone who asks AI whether something in their sex life is healthy. The numbers jump up slightly (66 percent of Gen Z and 54 percent of millennials) when it comes to being uncomfortable if a date discusses their sex life with AI.

If you look at the full survey responses, you'll see that respondents were made to respond on a gradient of "completely agree" to "completely disagree" on sentences like, "I wouldn't feel comfortable if someone I was dating discussed our sex life with AI."

So it's not as if all the respondents came to these conclusions totally on their own, but the results are still telling. As people, including singles, continue to adopt AI, there's a growing contingent opposed to its use — so much so that it's a red flag.
