Paranormal investigators and sceptics never have a great time of it in horror films, and A24's undertone looks like it will be absolutely no exception.

Director Ian Tuason follows podcast host Evy Babic (Nina Kiri) who debunks supposedly haunted audio records, only to find herself — you guessed it — becoming haunted by one.

One for fans of Lucy Campbell and Matt Vesely's 2024 micro-budget Australian sci-fi horror Monolith, Adam DiMarco, Michèle Duquet, Keana Lyn Bastidas, Jeff Yung also star.

undertone is in theatres March 13.

Heated Rivalry actor Hudson Williams has made his late night TV debut, chatting to Jimmy Fallon about the hit hockey romance series. Many paying attention to Williams' shenanigans on Heated Rivalry's press tour hoped he would bring the same unhinged, slightly feral energy to this appearance. Fortunately, he didn't disappoint.

Though seemingly on his best behaviour, apparently Williams cannot be entirely contained, swiftly veering into a description of the intimacy garment he wore while filming the series' sex scenes. He also incorporated hand gestures and miming, to really give the full picture.

"They call it a modesty garment, but by the end they just gave up on any of it," said Williams, barrelling on to detail its mechanics entirely unprompted. "It kind of grabs the berries... and then the whole backside, you know, is out."

Williams further dropped hints about what to expect from Heated Rivalry Season 2, showed Fallon a questionable stretch he allegedly picked up while learning a few hockey basics, and discussed how the show has prompted some fans to take an interest in hockey (aka the "boy aquarium").

"I would assume it would be very disappointing, because there's so little gay sex when I watch hockey," quipped Williams.

Heated Rivalry is available to stream on HBO Max.

Dell's latest Ultrasharp monitor is ludicrously capacious. The American tech giant debuted its new UltraSharp 52 Thunderbolt Hub Monitor at CES this week, plugging it as "the world's first 52-inch ultrawide curved 6K monitor." Mashable saw it in person in Dell's showroom, and it almost dwarfed the desk it sat on.

The UltraSharp 52 Thunderbolt Hub Monitor is designed to be a sleeker alternative to a two- or three-monitor setup for the fiercest multitaskers among us, specifically those who put in long hours. It has an ambient light sensor that adjusts its brightness as the day progresses, and Dell says it emits 60 percent less blue light than competing monitors, making it easy on the eyes in more way than one. It has a 21:9 aspect ratio, an anti-glare finish, and IPS Black panel technology for deep contrast and accurate colors.

In its press release, Dell recommends the UltraSharp 52 Thunderbolt Hub Monitor for "financial traders, data scientists, engineers, and executives who manage multiple applications simultaneously," but its 120Hz refresh rate means it's also good for gaming once you're off work. (Imagine playing Stardew Valley on this thing.) It works with up to four PCs at once, so go nuts.

The UltraSharp 52 Thunderbolt Hub Monitor isn't the biggest curved desktop monitor on the market. (Hello, Samsung's 57-inch Odyssey Neo G9.) It isn't the only 6K monitor out there, either. (The Apple Pro Display XDR and the Asus ProArt Display 6K PA32QCV are just two examples.) But no other model combines its titanic size with an impossibly crisp 6K resolution.

The UltraSharp 52 Thunderbolt Hub Monitor is available now on Dell's website. It costs $2,899.99 with its height-adjustable stand and $2,799.99 without.

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.

The Moon looks a little different each night as it moves through its cycle. Tonight, it’s in the waning gibbous phase, meaning it's more than half lit up, so there’s plenty to see in the sky.

What is today’s Moon phase?

As of Thursday, Jan. 8, the Moon phase is Waning Gibbous. According to NASA's Daily Moon Guide, 71% of the Moon will be lit up tonight.

If you don't have any visual aids, not to worry, there's still lots to see tonight, including the you'll be able to spot the Mares Serenitatis and Vaporum as well as the Tycho Crater. With binoculars you'll also see the the Gassendi and Alphonsus Craters, and the Mare Nectaris. Add a telescope to your lineup if you want to spot even more, including the as the Apollo 15 landing spot, the Caucasus Mountains, and the Descartes Highlands.

When is the next Full Moon?

The next Full Moon will be on Feb. 1. The last full moon was on Jan. 3.

What are Moon phases?

NASA explains that the Moon takes about 29.5 days to complete a full orbit, a period known as the lunar cycle. As it moves around Earth, the Moon goes through a series of distinct phases. While the same side of the Moon always faces our planet, the sunlight hitting it changes depending on its position in orbit. This is why the Moon can appear fully lit, partially lit, or completely dark at different times. The lunar cycle includes eight main phases:

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. (Northern Hemisphere)

Third Quarter (or Last 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.

Sony Honda Mobility showed off the AFEELA 1 electric vehicle again at CES this year. If, like me, you saw it last year, the experience will feel very familiar. However, this isn't necessarily a bad thing. The AFEELA 1 still looks polished, still leans hard into its identity as a rolling entertainment hub, and still feels more like a Sony product than a traditional car. What’s different is that this year is less about flashy new features and more about refinement.

SEE ALSO: Best of CES 2026 awards announced: See all the winners and nominees

Sony Honda Mobility used its CES keynote to reiterate its vision of "mobility as a creative entertainment space," positioning AFEELA 1 as a car built around time spent inside it, not just getting from point A to point B. Sitting inside the EV again, that philosophy is obvious. The panoramic dashboard display remains the centerpiece, spanning the entire cabin and serving as the primary interface for navigation, media, and apps.

Alongside the AFEELA 1, Sony Honda Mobility also showed off a SUV-style prototype, dubbed AFEELA Prototype 2026. Despite its name, the company says this prototype will likely reach production in 2028 at the earliest. It appeared to be essentially the same as the AFEELA 1, only in SUV form, though Sony Honda Mobility is remaining tight-lipped on further details at this stage. We'll just have to wait to find out more information on AFEELA 1's younger sibling as it gets closer to production.

In the meantime, the AFEELA 1 has plenty to keep us entertained — literally. One of my personal favorite features of the AFEELA 1 is its PlayStation Remote Play. If you already own a PS5, you can stream games to the rear seat displays using a DualSense controller. I got to test it for the first time after it was teased last year, and the connection wasn't too bad. Obviously, it was unable to stream in 4K, but there was no noticeable input lag and it held up reliably even in a crowded demo environment. It’s still very much a "you already need to be bought into the PlayStation ecosystem" feature, but it works more consistently now than it did before.

The AI assistant, AFEELA, is also back, and it’s still best described as competent but unremarkable. Sony Honda Mobility frames it as a “personal agent” powered by Microsoft Azure OpenAI, meant to support natural conversation and personalization over time. In practice, it behaves like a standard in-car assistant. It can open apps, set destinations, adjust settings, and respond to basic contextual prompts. It complemented my shirt using the cameras in the car, so that was nice.

Where the AFEELA 1 does feel improved is in the fundamentals. The interior runs more smoothly overall, with faster screen responses and fewer hiccups when switching between apps. The cabin feels quieter and more composed, and it's clear Sony Honda Mobility is prioritizing comfort and stability over experimental features.

That sense of polish also extends to how Sony Honda Mobility is positioning the AFEELA 1 as a productivity space. Beyond entertainment, the car supports apps like Zoom, letting you take video calls from inside the cabin. The camera angle is a bit off, so be aware that you may not look your best when it's on. They demoed it for us, and the camera was wide enough to capture the entirety of the car, rather than framing you like a laptop webcam.

All of this refinement comes at a premium. The AFEELA 1 is priced starting at $89,900, with higher trims exceeding $100,000, firmly placing it in the luxury EV territory. At that price, one's expectation should be higher than just being able to function properly. However, this year’s demo suggests Sony Honda Mobility is focusing on getting the fundamentals right before hitting California's roads later this year.

Jimmy Donaldson, known as MrBeast, has almost become synonymous with YouTube. With almost 460 million subscribers, MrBeast has the largest following on the platform. Last year, he launched his reality competition series, Beast Games, on Prime Video. With the show's second season about to premiere, Donaldson sat down with Mashable's Executive Producer, Mark Stetson, to discuss his rise to stardom, how he built his YouTube empire, and what we can all expect from the new season of Beast Games.

Early in his career, Donaldson saw the value in leaning into YouTube as the main outlet for his content. "Right now, 2 percent of humanity's time is spent on YouTube. When I was 11 years old, I didn't know YouTube would grow this big. Accident? Yes. The luckiest thing that ever happened to me was I fell in love with making YouTube videos. Over the last 16 years, certain mediums have died and YouTube has grown exponentially. I got very lucky that the thing I fell in love with, that I devoted my life to, happens to be growing endlessly."

Donaldson has grown his love of making videos into a major content empire. Not only does he have the most subscribed channel on Youtube, he is also the third most-followed creator on TikTok. Jimmy has launched multiple brands, founded non-profits, and now has his own reality competition series on Prime Video.

The second season of Beast Games premiered on Jan. 7, with a hundred of the world's smartest people versus a hundred of the word's strongest people battling for a $5 million prize. The show set multiple Guinness World Records such as: the largest physical cash prize on set ($5 million) and the most money won in a single episode of a competitive reality TV show ($2.02 million).

One major adjustment Donaldson was passionate about implementing between seasons of Beast Games was to focus more on the emotional drama contestants were facing between challenges. "A lot of people wanted to know the contestants more. In season 2, the first three episodes, there are a lot of shots in the city where it's just them hanging out. It's the contestants being normal. Which is funny because we have all this footage of these big, multi-million dollar sets, doing these crazy things. People aren't asking me to build more giants sets. They are not asking me to do more crazy games. They're actually asking for, in between those, just show the contestants talking."

Donaldson has built his career on creating experiences people have never seen on screen. Even when Donaldson was starting out, at the young age of 11 years old, he wanted to do things no one else has done. "That's always been my goal: to make content you can't find anywhere else. If someone else has done it and you're just slightly making it different than it doesn't feel as special. But if every video we make, you can't find anywhere else in the world, that's stuff people notice. And I think that's why we get the views we get and why people really resonate with the videos." Donaldson feels a responsibility to his audience to deliver on that ethos.

"I feel like I owe it to the audience to try to always mix it up and give them something they've never seen."

The first three episodes of Beast Games Season 2 are currently streaming on Prime Video. The following episodes will be released weekly on Wednesdays.

The free and open-source smart home platform, Home Assistant, just released another major update. Home Assistant 2026.1 has some helpful improvements to the dashboards, new service integrations, and a pile of bug fixes to enjoy.

The first trailer for Stray Kids: The dominATE Experience is here, and as someone who saw this tour four times across four different cities, including the Los Angeles stop at SoFi Stadium, it immediately dropped me back into the controlled chaos that defines a Stray Kids concert.

Speaking from personal experience, the trailer captures what made the world tour such a defining moment for Stray Kids: momentum. These weren't shows that eased you in. They hit hard from the jump, stacking explosive choreography, blistering rap verses, and emotional pivots into a set designed to never let the energy dip. Bang Chan anchoring the chaos, Changbin and Han trading rapid-fire intensity, Hyunjin and Felix commanding the stage with physicality and presence, Lee Know's razor-sharp movement, Seungmin delivering steady vocals while casually instigating chaos, and I.N grounding it all with sincerity — every member played a specific role in keeping that engine running.

And now, fans will get a behind-the-scenes glimpse into how they brought it all together.

SEE ALSO: Want to match Stray Kids' Hyunjin's floral phone case aesthetic? We found this K-pop idol's fave.

Anchored by footage from the sold-out SoFi Stadium performances in Los Angeles, the film documents a turning point for the K-pop act. Seeing Stray Kids command a venue of that size on their first global stadium tour made clear just how far they've grown not only as performers, but as artists confident enough to trust their own vision on the biggest possible stage.

Directed by Paul Dugdale (Taylor Swift: Reputation Stadium Tour) and featuring documentary segments directed by Farah X (The Remix: Hip Hop x Fashion), The Dominant Experience is built for scale. The film opens globally on Feb. 6, 2026, screening in IMAX®, SCREENX, 4DX, and ULTRA 4DX where available. (Do I want to be physically pelted in the back every time the bass drops or Changbin spits a verse? Honestly...maybe.)

Tickets are already on sale at STRAYKIDSMOVIE.COM, and if the trailer is any indication, this concert film is a snapshot of Stray Kids at full force.

When I asked Lenovo CEO Yang Yuanqing what he'd say to AI skeptics at CES 2026, where AI has been a constant topic of conversation, he summed it up simply: "Nobody can avoid it."

Last night, at a live keynote event at The Sphere in Las Vegas, Lenovo leaders announced a personal AI assistant called Qira designed to work across Lenovo and Motorola devices, along with a new line of futuristic AI laptops and devices. Unsurprisingly, artificial intelligence has been the dominant theme at CES 2026, with companies like Lenovo and Samsung outlining a vision of a future in which AI is integrated into every aspect of our lives, from sunrise to sunset.

AI wearables, like the concept Project Maxwell AI wearable Lenovo announced at CES, will see and hear everything you see and hear to better assist you. Meanwhile, AI will be integrated across every device. CES has brought us AI smartphones, AI laptops, AI TVs, AI washing machines — AI, essentially, everything.

The morning after the Lenovo Tech World Event at The Sphere, I got the chance to participate in a question-and-answer session with Yang and Lenovo’s Chief Technology Officer, Tolga Kurtoglu. So, I asked them what they would say to AI skeptics. 

What about the consumers who don't want AI to see and hear everything they do? Who don't want an AI washing machine or refrigerator?

"I strongly believe AI will be the trend," Yang said. "Nobody can avoid it. But AI will not replace you; it will only empower you, empower each of us, so that is why we think utilization will help you so that you can do more, be more creative. So that will be the trend that you cannot avoid."

Kurtoglu also had a blunt answer: "I don’t see a world without AI."

However, Kurtoglu also emphasized the importance of responsible AI development in Lenovo’s approach.

“One of the fundamental principles with which we develop AI is our belief in responsible AI. Of course, there are guardrails and very strict processes that we follow as a company as we build our own AI. And then globally and locally, there are regulations and compliance requirements about privacy and security and other things that we follow very strictly,” Kurtoglu said.

Likewise, Lenovo stressed the opt-in nature of Qira and its AI tools repeatedly during its keynote at The Sphere, and Kurtoglu echoed this sentiment to Mashable. "If you want to participate and get the value-add[ed] that AI brings to you, you opt in, and you give your permission, and then you get what the AI enables for you. Otherwise, if you don’t want to participate, of course, it’s all up to you. We’re going to continue to follow our strong belief in responsible AI development.”

However, as AI gets integrated into virtually all types of hardware, opting out isn’t so simple. Lenovo itself states that AI PCs will account for 70 percent of the global market by 2028. Laptops and smartphones are following a similar trend, although not all consumers share the same enthusiasm for AI as industry leaders. In a recent survey, CNET found that just 11 percent of smartphone users upgrade their devices because they want to take advantage of new AI tools. (Disclosure: CNET and Mashable are both owned by Ziff Davis.)

During the media Q&A, Yang also addressed concerns that we’re approaching an AI bubble, downplaying these concerns.

"We believe AI is not a bubble," Yang said. “The demand will be booming, so everybody will have their personal AI, and every enterprise will need to leverage their data to generate intelligence. So, the demand is just beginning. It’s not a bubble at all."
