I've owned Pixel phones for 8 years. The Pixel 11 really isn't as bad as it seems

How-To Geek - 1 hour 5 min ago

The Pixel 11 series’ reception has been less than stellar. Google is taking it on the chin for iterative changes, half-baked ideas, and increased prices. As a long-time Pixel owner, I somewhat agree, but much of the outrage is overblown. These phones are not bad.

Mazda proved big screens were a mistake — then ruined its best SUV with one

How-To Geek - 1 hour 20 min ago

Mazda spent years proving that modern car interiors didn't need to revolve around giant touchscreens. The outgoing CX-5 was the perfect example, pairing a neatly integrated display with physical climate controls, a rotary controller, and a cabin that felt far more upscale than its mainstream price suggested. It was modern without being distracting, and technology complemented the driving experience rather than dominating it.

GTA 6 Cyberleek: Fans float leak conspiracy theories about marketing, possible in-game character

Mashable - 2 hours 58 min ago

Are the Grand Theft Auto VI leaks an inside job?

As the anonymous online group known as Cyberleek continues to drop new GTA 6 footage on a near-daily basis, some gamers are starting to speculate that these leaks were orchestrated by Rockstar Games itself.

On social media platforms like Reddit, fans have begun to concoct various theories suggesting that Cyberleek could be part of an elaborate marketing campaign by the GTA developer. Could they be right?

GTA 6 leak conspiracy theories

To be fair, the conspiracy theorists have done a good job of explaining themselves. Fans have pointed out that Cyberleek appears to be following a marketing campaign-esque style schedule by releasing one or two videos per day. They have also noted that the leaked footage consistently focuses on game mechanics and never seems to reveal much about the GTA 6 story, which could genuinely spoil the game’s November launch.

Based on Cyberleek’s footage, it appears that the group may have access to a playable build of the game. If so, the leakers could theoretically produce almost any footage they wanted, provided the content was included in whichever version of the game they possess. 

SEE ALSO: What is CyberLeek? Everything we know about the alleged GTA 6 leakers.

As some have pointed out, even the gameplay footage that Cyberleeks has released doesn't reveal too much. Whoever is playing the game doesn't seem to explore the world as the character passes things by, instead passing potentially interesting locations without investigating them. The footage has also largely avoided action. No car crashes, no widespread destruction, no explosions — none of the things that make GTA, well, GTA.

Another interesting theory posed by gamers is that Cyberleek may be an actual character from the game. The group has used an animated Cyberleek mascot to watermark some of the footage and screenshots it has shared. Some fans believe that the Cyberleek name and art style feel like something Rockstar Games would create for an in-game GTA 6 persona. Could there be a leaker or hacker group named Cyberleek within the world of the game?

While some of these theories are surprisingly well thought out, the available evidence strongly suggests that Rockstar Games is not behind the GTA 6 leaks.

Why the fan theories fall apart

There are two major reasons the marketing-stunt theory doesn’t hold up.

First, there’s the memecoin factor. Throughout the daily leaks, Cyberleek has consistently promoted a cryptocurrency bearing the same name. When the group publishes polls asking viewers what type of GTA 6 footage they want to see next, users are required to use Cyberleek’s memecoin to participate.

It seems very, very extremely unlikely that a major company — especially one as big as Rockstar Games — would promote a memecoin as part of a marketing campaign. Alternative cryptocurrencies are frequently associated with pump-and-dump schemes and other financial scams. The potential legal and reputational headaches would almost certainly outweigh any promotional benefit.

Then there’s the much bigger piece of evidence: Take-Two Interactive filed subpoenas in federal court last week over the GTA 6 leaks., and here's the big one that seemingly debunks the conspiracies, Rockstar Games filed subpoenas in federal court last week related to the GTA 6 leaks.

"The reported post contains unauthorized, leaked gameplay footage from the unreleased game Grand Theft Auto VI," reads a takedown request sent to Discord and included with the subpoena. "This material reproduces our Client’s copyrighted, unreleased game assets and was published and distributed without any authorization from the copyright holder. The content is presented as genuine leaked Grand Theft Auto VI gameplay from Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc., and its distribution constitutes unauthorized reproduction and public disclosure of our Client’s copyrighted work."

Again, this is a legal document filed in federal court in which Rockstar Games attests that at least one specific post is "unauthorized, leaked gameplay footage." Filing subpoenas to identify the people behind your supposedly orchestrated marketing campaign would be an extraordinarily risky stunt. The daily release schedule may feel suspiciously polished, but the legal filings — and all that memecoin promotion — make a Rockstar inside job extraordinarily unlikely.

GTA 6 Cyberleek update: Everything leaked so far, what might be next

Mashable - 2 hours 59 min ago

With just a few days to go before Grand Theft Auto VI makes its big official debut (of sorts) on Netflix, the leaker known as Cyberleek is still on a tear.

Over the past week, someone (or perhaps a group of people) called Cyberleek has been busy sharing short gameplay clips of GTA VI left and right. On Aug. 20, Take-Two Interactive, the parent company of GTA-maker Rockstar Games, filed subpoenas against Microsoft and Discord to try to unmask the leaker. Those filings specifically cited "stolen content," seemingly confirming that at least some of the Cyberleek videos are legitimate.

The GTA 6 leaks represent the first glimpse of gameplay from the hotly anticipated title. In addition, countless AI-generated videos posing as "leaks" are also circulating widely on social media. So, we've put together a quick list of everything Cyberleek has released so far. We're not going to embed or link to any of these clips, and we can't verify their authenticity. However, they're easy enough to find on X or Reddit if you look hard enough.

SEE ALSO: What is Cyberleek? Everything we know about the alleged GTA 6 leakers. Every GTA 6 leak from Cyberleek so far

At the time of publication, several clips and screenshots have been posted by Cyberleek that purportedly show different aspects of GTA 6, from the game's map to glimpses of cut scenes. The leaker has avoided posting major plot spoilers, at least so far.

Here are the GTA 6 leaks Cyberleek has shared:

  • Map sneak peek 1: A small, cropped portion of the in-game world map, showing a location called Dalton Island.

  • Map sneak peek 2: Another cropped portion of the map showing locations called Tequesta Retreat, Gloriana Key, and Catalan Key.

  • Basketball video: A clip of protagonist Jason Duval throwing a basketball into a hoop in a mini-game.

  • Full map: An alleged view of the entire in-game map.

  • Random video 1: A clip of Jason driving around for a little bit before beating up a truck driver.

  • Taser video: A clip of Jason driving at night, stealing a security guard's taser, and using it on him. Jason then repeatedly kicks the guard while he is on the ground.

  • Junkies video: A clip that appears to show a healing drug called Zombix. A tooltip indicates that Zombix's effects will weaken over time if the player uses it too much.

  • Plane video: A clip of Jason flying a plane over Vice City, with much of the game world visible below. At the end, whoever is playing the game in the clip shoots the word "LEEK" into a wall with bullets, suggesting the leaker has a playable build of the game.

  • Hypercar part 1: A clip of Jason driving a high-end sports car around Vice City.

  • Hypercar part 2: A clip of Jason driving the sports car some more, before committing armed robbery.

  • Strip club: Jason wanders around a strip club, then a short clip of an in-game cutscene is shown.

  • Gas station: Jason causes trouble at a gas station, steals a truck with a bed full of gasoline, and crashes and dies; more of the previous cutscene is shown.

  • Nudist colony: Jason explores a nudist hangout spot (where the NPCs are, obviously, nude) and attacks NPCs

Again, we can't authenticate any of the Cyberleek videos. That said, as someone who has played nearly every GTA game, I found them fairly convincing. GTA games all move in a certain way, and that movement appears to be recreated remarkably well in these videos. Everything from character movement to NPC interactions looks relatively on-brand for a modern Rockstar game. That said, we live in a world where it's easy to generate convincing AI videos.

As for what's next, we can't say. But Cyberleek is actively running polls on its website that allow people to pay in cryptocurrency to vote on what should be leaked next. You can also wait for real, official gameplay footage, which is set to debut on Netflix on Aug. 27.

So far, Rockstar and Take-Two have said nothing about the leaks outside of the subpoenas filed last week. Mashable has contacted the companies repeatedly with questions about the leaks, and we'll update this story if we receive a response.

Updated on Monday, Aug. 24 at 1:30 p.m. ET — We've updated this story to reflect the latest Cyberleek leaks.

Updated on Friday, Aug. 21 at 3:00 p.m. ET — Take-Two Interactive Software Inc., the parent company of Grand Theft Auto-maker Rockstar Games, has filed two subpoenas naming Microsoft and Discord as it hunts the leaker known as Cyberleek. The legal filings specifically cite "stolen content," seemingly confirming that the leaks are legitimate. Take-Two is also requesting the removal of leaked material that violates its copyrights, as well as information that could unmask the leakers.

Diamonds are TikTok Shops best friend

Mashable - 3 hours 12 min ago

TikTok Shop has already convinced users to buy everything from pickle kits to questionable supplements. Its latest obsession is considerably shinier.

Livestream auctions for loose, lab-grown diamonds are suddenly everywhere on the app, turning stones that once required an intimidating trip to a jeweler into something users can buy from bed in about 15 seconds.

The streams, largely produced by lab-grown diamond company Royale Diamonds, feel like QVC after several espressos. An auctioneer holds a stone beneath bright lights, briefly flashes its specifications or grading report, and starts a countdown that may last only 10 to 30 seconds. Bids fly across the screen while the host urges viewers to keep tapping. Then the clock runs out, a winner is announced, and the next diamond appears before anyone has time to reconsider what just happened.

Naturally, people are getting hooked.

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

Users across TikTok are showing off their auction finds, comparing collections, planning custom jewelry, and admitting that they keep returning to the streams, finding themselves "addicted," despite having no particular need for another loose gemstone. In recent weeks, buyers have begun comparing notes about how they stumbled into the diamond-auction rabbit hole — and how quickly one purchase became five, 10, or several dozen.

TikTok creator Ryan Roth is one of them. After accidentally winning his first lab-grown diamond for $700, he bought another for $94 while scrolling in an Uber and soon had roughly 10 more stones on the way.

"I don’t know what to do with them or about it, but it's addicting," Roth said in one video. His justification for the expensive hobby? Simple: "I have adult money and free will."

Users like Roth who have purchased from Royale Diamonds say every stone they bought came with a grading report from the International Gemological Institute, or IGI. Royale Diamonds has clearly recognized its newfound virality and is capitalizing on it. The company connected with Roth for what it called a "mega live" on Sunday, Aug. 23. The account streamed for nine hours, from 1 to 10 p.m., turning diamond sales into something closer to an all-day telethon.

Roth is hardly the biggest collector. One frequent bidder interviewed by Rolling Stone said she accumulated around 50 diamonds and other gemstones in one month. Having assembled her own sparkling collection, she compared herself to "Thanos gathering Infinity Stones." Another woman told The Guardian that the streams had become her nightly viewing ritual. She has reportedly purchased more than 30 diamonds since discovering them in June, including pink and blue stones.

You don’t even have to bid to get invested. One 21-year-old said her family sometimes projects the livestreams onto a larger screen and watches them together, turning an online jewelry sale into appointment television. That is part of the appeal: There is always another stone coming. If one doesn’t interest you, the next might be bigger, cheaper, pinker, or shaped like the pear-cut diamond you’ve suddenly decided would make an excellent necklace.

Why are the diamonds so inexpensive? Credit: Screenshot: TikTok @royalediamondslive

Those prices aren’t magic. Most of the stones are lab-grown diamonds, which have essentially the same chemical and physical properties as natural diamonds but cost much less to produce. As manufacturing has expanded, prices have fallen: Smaller stones can sell for under $100, while many go for roughly $100 to $200 per carat.

That affordability has changed what buying a diamond can mean. Instead of reserving them for engagements or anniversaries, TikTok users are collecting colorful stones, planning custom jewelry, or simply enjoying their tiny piles of gems.

The loose stone, however, may be the cheapest part. One buyer reportedly spent about $500 on a 3.78-carat diamond, then another $1,100 to set it in a 14-karat gold ring.

A low price also doesn’t guarantee a bargain. TikTok requires some jewelry sellers to provide authenticity documents or test results, and its policy prohibits fraudulent, low-quality, and inaccurately described products. Still, bright lighting can conceal imperfections, and a grading report can’t fully convey how a stone will look or sparkle in person.

Before bidding, buyers should verify the report with the issuing laboratory and check the diamond’s measurements, carat weight, origin, cut, color, clarity, and treatments. The FTC also requires sellers to clearly disclose when a diamond was created in a laboratory rather than mined.

Finally, TikTok says livestream auction purchases are generally final sale. Buyers may have recourse if a stone is damaged, missing, or not as described. Realizing the next morning that you have no use for a three-carat oval diamond may not be enough.

Diamond auctions are part of TikTok Shop's much bigger takeover

The ease with which idle scrolling can become a credit card charge is the bigger story here. Customers spent an estimated $50.3 billion globally through TikTok Shop during the first half of 2026. That was a 92 percent increase from the same period in 2025, with U.S. shoppers accounting for $11.8 billion of the total.

SEE ALSO: TikTok shoppers spent $50 billion in six months on the platform

By July, TikTok Shop represented approximately 2 percent of U.S. online retail spending, up from 1.2 percent one year earlier, according to Consumer Edge data reported by Business Insider. For the month, spending on the platform reportedly surpassed the individual online businesses of Target, Costco, and Home Depot, though TikTok still trails far behind Amazon and Walmart.

A relatively small group of enthusiastic customers is helping fuel that growth. Shoppers who made at least 20 TikTok Shop purchases during the second quarter accounted for only 5 percent of buyers but generated around 30 percent of spending. Meanwhile, consumers over 35 were the platform's fastest-growing age group.

The diamond craze makes it easy to understand why. TikTok hasn't invented livestream shopping, impulse buying, or fast-talking auctioneers. It has simply squeezed all three into a personalized feed where entertainment and checkout happen on the same screen.

You don’t need to open TikTok looking for a diamond. You only need to pause long enough to watch one sparkle.

GTA 6 Cyberleek update: All leaks released Monday and over the weekend

Mashable - 3 hours 18 min ago

With less than a week to go until Rockstar Games shows us official Grand Theft Auto VI gameplay on Netflix, there's even more unofficial gameplay footage leaking online.

Cyberleek, the anonymous leaker who has hit the big time in the last week or so by leaking a steady stream of GTA VI gameplay clips, posted a few more over the weekend and into Monday morning. Mashable is not linking to any of the leaked clips or map images, but they can be pretty easily found on various social networks if you look hard enough.

SEE ALSO: GTA 6 map: Community mapping project resembles what CyberLeek revealed

Anyway, here are descriptions of the four clips that have gone out since last Friday:

  • More supercar footage: shows the protagonist Jason driving a high-end sports car and then engaging in an armed robbery

  • Strip club: Protagonist wanders around an in-game strip club before a snippet of a cutscene is shown

  • Gas station: Protagonist wreaks havoc at a gas station and steals a truck; the truck bed is filled with gasoline, and it crashes and explodes. Another clip of the same cutscene is shown.

  • Nudist colony: Protagonist wanders around some sort of nudist hangout spot and attacks NPCs

The nudist colony video appeared to be the winner of the latest poll on CyberLeek's website. Users can vote in the poll by spending cryptocurrency, because, of course, that's how this works. At the time of publication, it's unclear exactly how much of the game CyberLeek has access to, or how they came to access it. While we can't authenticate any of the videos, subpoenas recently filed by Take Two Interactive (the parent company of Rockstar Games), specifically reference stolen material, seemingly confirming the leaks are legit.

In all likelihood, the leaker has access to an older build of the game that's not up to par with what Rockstar will show later this week.

Kindles just got more expensive, but the Kobo Clara Colour is on sale for under $160

Mashable - 4 hours 43 min ago

SAVE $20: The Kobo Clara Colour e-reader is on sale at Amazon for $159.99, down from the list price of $179.99. That's an 11% discount.

Over the weekend, Amazon hiked prices on tons of their in-house tech, including Kindles. The basic Kindle (16GB) jumped from $109.99 to $149.99, and the Kindle Paperwhite (16GB) went from $159.99 to $199.99. Those are painful increases. But there's no need to fret because there's another e-reader that's on sale, and it happens to be a model we love at Mashable.

As of Aug. 24, the Kobo Clara Colour e-reader (16GB) is on sale at Amazon for $159.99, down from the list price of $179.99. That's an 11% discount.

I'm not sure where my Kindle Paperwhite lives anymore. It's probably in a box in the closet. But I do know where my Kobo Clara is located because I use it almost everyday. I prefer the Kobo over my Kindle for a few reasons, and one of the major ones is that it's smaller. Instead of the seven-inch display on the Kindle Paperwhite, the Kobo Clara Colour is a petite six-inches that I find more comfortable to hold.

SEE ALSO: Hydrow's Labor Day sale is live — save up to $450 and score free gifts worth $300

The basic Kindle measures six inches, but it comes with ads, doesn't have an e-ink display, and it's only $10 less expensive compared to the sale price on the Kobo Clara Colour. Plus, like the name suggests, you get a color display on the Kobo Clara.

Mashable Lead Shopping Reporter Samantha Mangino reviewed the Kobo Clara Colour and wrote, "The Clara took me by surprise, a perfectly handheld e-reader that's an incredible value considering its color display." Kindles win when it comes to battery life, but I'm not upset to recharge my Kobo every six weeks or so.

Another unique feature on team Kobo is the Kobo remote, serving as the only e-reader brand with a native remote. While it might seem like a silly or unnecessary accessory, I adore using the Kobo remote and recommend it to anyone with a Kobo.

If you've been thinking about a new e-reader and are feeling letdown by Amazon's price increase, go with the Kobo Clara Colour while it's on sale for under $160. It comes with plenty of great features and zero ads.
