Emmys opening skit has Nate Bargatze foretell the future of television

Mashable - Mon, 09/15/2025 - 09:28

The 77th Primetime Emmy Awards took place on Sunday, with host Nate Bargatze kicking off the ceremony with a hilarious television-themed variation on his popular "Washington's Dream" Saturday Night Live skit.

Playing the all-electronic television's inventor Philo T. Fansworth, Bargatze rallied his disheartened assistants Mikey Day, Bowen Yang, and James Austin Johnson with bold visions of what TV would offer in the future. This included channels for every culture, like Telmundo for Spanish speakers, BET for Black viewers, and even a television network for white people: CBS

"And will there be a network for Asian people, sir?" asked Yang.

"What's that? You asked about streaming?" said Bargatze, launching into an explanation of how streaming companies will make their own shows about real murderers.

"Who would watch shows about murderers for entertainment?" asked Day.

"Your wife, my wife, everyone's wife," Bargatze replied. "And that is why we will pay the streaming subscription fees."

"Ah, I see," said Yang. "With streaming the viewer pays a fee, so there are no ads."

"If only it were so simple," Bargatze responded.

Hurdle hints and answers for September 15, 2025

Mashable - Mon, 09/15/2025 - 06:00

If you like playing daily word games like Wordle, then Hurdle is a great game to add to your routine.

There are five rounds to the game. The first round sees you trying to guess the word, with correct, misplaced, and incorrect letters shown in each guess. If you guess the correct answer, it'll take you to the next hurdle, providing the answer to the last hurdle as your first guess. This can give you several clues or none, depending on the words. For the final hurdle, every correct answer from previous hurdles is shown, with correct and misplaced letters clearly shown.

An important note is that the number of times a letter is highlighted from previous guesses does necessarily indicate the number of times that letter appears in the final hurdle.

If you find yourself stuck at any step of today's Hurdle, don't worry! We have you covered.

Moon phase today: What the moon will look like on September 15

Mashable - Mon, 09/15/2025 - 06:00

We're moving towards the New Moon, and each night the moon is becoming less and less visible.

It's day 23 of the lunar cycle, a series of eight unique phases of the moon's visibility. The whole cycle takes about 29.5 days, according to NASA, and these different phases happen as the Sun lights up different parts of the moon whilst it orbits Earth, so let's see what's happening with the moon tonight, Sept. 15.

What is today’s moon phase?

As of Monday, Sept. 15, the moon phase is Waning Crescent, and it is 38% lit up to us on Earth, according to NASA's Daily Moon Observation.

So, what can we see tonight. Well, with just your naked eye you'll be able to spot the Kepler Crater and the Tycho Crater when you look up. If you want to see more, track down some binoculars and you'll also be able to see the Grimaldi Basin, the Gassendi Crater, and the Clavius Crater.

If you also have a telescope, point it upwards to add the Reiner Gamma, Schiller Crater, and the Fra Mauro Highlands to your list.

When is the next full moon?

The next full moon will be on Oct. 6. The last full moon was on Sept. 7.

What are moon phases?

According to NASA, moon phases are caused by the 29.5-day cycle of the moon’s orbit, which changes the angles between the Sun, Moon, and Earth. Moon phases are how the moon looks from Earth as it goes around us. We always see the same side of the moon, but how much of it is lit up by the Sun changes depending on where it is in its orbit. This is how we get full moons, half moons, and moons that appear completely invisible. There are eight main moon phases, and they follow a repeating cycle:

New Moon - The moon is between Earth and the sun, so the side we see is dark (in other words, it's invisible to the eye).

Waxing Crescent - A small sliver of light appears on the right side (Northern Hemisphere).

First Quarter - Half of the moon is lit on the right side. It looks like a half-moon.

Waxing Gibbous - More than half is lit up, but it’s not quite full yet.

Full Moon - The whole face of the moon is illuminated and fully visible.

Waning Gibbous - The moon starts losing light on the right side.

Last Quarter (or Third Quarter) - Another half-moon, but now the left side is lit.

Waning Crescent - A thin sliver of light remains on the left side before going dark again.

The best digital DAB radios for every listener

Mashable - Mon, 09/15/2025 - 06:00

Tune out the naysayers because radio is alive and well. The likes of Amazon Music and Spotify were supposed to bring about a revolution in how we listen to music, but radio refuses to go quietly. Millions of people still tuning in to their favourite shows and stations, despite all of the podcasts and streaming platforms now available.

This is partly because of the growing popularity of DAB (digital audio broadcasting) radio, which is an upgrade itself on the very concept of radio. It promises less interference, a bigger choice of stations, and a stronger signal. Sounds good, right?

In other words, you need a DAB radio. After all, most DAB radios double up as a Bluetooth speaker, so you’re getting a 2-in-1 device. Before you part with your hard-earned cash, it’s worth knowing more about DAB radios and what they can do. Here's some useful information and a round-up of the best DAB radios right now.

What is DAB radio?

DAB stands for digital audio broadcasting — a nifty term for digital technology that transmits radio stations in excellent audio quality. DAB technology combines numerous stations into a group called a multiplex.

What is a DAB radio multiplex?

There are several national multiplexes in the UK. What this means is that multiple stations are broadcast together using a single frequency, as opposed to FM radio, where each station needs its own specific frequency. Your DAB radio receives the multiplex and picks out each individual station.

Do DAB radios pick up FM too?

Most DAB radios also have the option for FM, but make sure before purchasing — especially if having FM as well as DAB is a deal breaker.

What stations are available on DAB?

There are currently more than 50 national stations broadcasting in DAB. These include all the big hitters — BBC Radio 1, Capital, Classic FM, Heart, LBC, Magic, Radio X, talkRADIO, TalkSport, Virgin, and lots more. That’s not counting all the local and regional DAB stations too, which total 500-plus. These can also be listened to via compatible smart speakers, or over the internet via a desktop or smart device.

Do DAB radios have good sound quality?

Digital signals are generally more reliable than analogue signals, and DAB reception now stretches across almost all of the UK. This means that digital radios should be able to pick up a better quality of sound. More information can also be sent through digital signals, meaning stations can provide details like the name of the song or the artist.

Can you get DAB radio in your area?

Unlike regular radio, you won’t get an annoying hiss if you’re in a weak area. You either get DAB radio, or you don’t. For UK listeners, there’s a postcode checker. Unless you’re way out in the sticks, you should be fine. Experts recommend re-tuning your DAB every now and then to make sure you’re getting all available stations.

What is DAB+?

DAB+ is an upgraded version of DAB. It allows even more stations to be broadcast and has the capacity for even higher audio quality. Not all DAB radios have DAB+ so be sure to check. You’ll generally find that premium DAB radios are equipped with DAB+. Some DAB-only models are upgradeable to DAB+ with a firmware download.

What is internet radio?

This differs slightly from DAB radio. It's radio broadcast online, which means you'll need a radio with WiFi capability to listen to it. Some of the radios listed below have WiFi, though not all of them — so be sure you check the specifications before making a purchase. The benefit of internet radio is that you can listen to stations from all around the globe, meaning you have lots more choice. All you need is WiFi.

What is the best DAB radio?

It's no surprise that some of the most popular audio brands have released digital radios, and we’ve tracked down a selection of the very best options. All you need to do is pick a favourite and tune in. There's something here for every listener.

These are the best digital radios for 2025.

All the winners from the 2025 Emmys

Mashable - Mon, 09/15/2025 - 02:11

The 77th Primetime Emmy Awards took place on Sunday night, honouring some of the biggest names and best shows in television over the past year. 

Hosted by comedian Nate Bargatze, this year's Emmy ceremony was once again held at L.A. Live's Peacock Theater in Los Angeles. Fortunately, those in the U.S. who weren't blessed with an invitation were still able to watch the 2025 Emmy Awards live on CBS.

Severance seemed practically guaranteed to walk away with a trophy, boasting an impressive 27 nominations across both the Primetime and Creative Arts Emmy Awards. Having picked up eight Emmys in last week's ceremony, Severance rounded it out to 10 on Sunday with two more trophies which saw Tramell Tillman making history and Britt Lower dropping a cheeky Easter egg.

The popular Apple TV+ show was trailed in nominations by crime drama The Penguin's 24, while The Studio and The White Lotus both scored 23 nominations each. However, it was the The Studio that walked away with 13 awards (breaking The Bear's 2024 comedy win record), The Penguin taking nine, and The White Lotus winning only one for the theme song. Meanwhile, The Last of Us and Hacks received 16 and 14 nominations, respectively, with Hacks stars Jean Smart and Hannah Einbinder winning awards — The Last of Us only won for Outstanding Sound Editing.

Plus, HBO Max's The Pitt took home five Emmys after 13 nominations, including Outstanding Drama Series and acting wins for Noah Wyle and Katherine LaNasa.

However, it was Adolescence which ultimately took home the most trophies on Sunday, picking up six Primetime Emmy Awards. This included Outstanding Limited Series as well as writing, directing, and acting awards for Stephen Graham, Erin Doherty, and 15-year-old Owen Cooper.

Shockingly, Andor received only three Primetime nominations, with none of its cast up for contention in any of the acting categories. As such, the Outstanding Drama Series, Outstanding Directing for a Drama Series, and Outstanding Writing for a Drama Series categories were the highly praised Star Wars series' only hope of taking home an Emmy. Fortunately, Andor's Dan Gilroy did ultimately win the Emmy for Outstanding Writing for a Drama Series.
