The GoPro Hero 12 Black is a formidable action camera that you'll love to take with you to capture all the moments you encounter while out and about.

Video games based on movies can be excellent, but they rarely push the envelope when it comes to gameplay, graphics, or even the storyline. However, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle breaks that mold by capturing the essence of the films while also being a fun game.

The iMac has always had a particular appeal—an all-in-one machine that looks great on a desk and works right out of the box. I’ve been using the M4 iMac for the better part of a month, and while it has its place, it’s definitely not for everyone.

The new iPhone 16e repackages many features of the standard iPhone 16 while skimping on others to achieve its $200 cheaper price. If you're considering upgrading, here are the high-end camera features from dual-lens iPhones that are missing from the iPhone 16e.

Based on the title of A24's Death of a Unicorn, you know a gorgeous unicorn is going to bite the dust. The film's first trailer revealed not just how said unicorn would die (a tragic hit-and-run) but also who was responsible: father-daughter pair Elliot (Paul Rudd) and Ridley (Jenna Ortega).

SEE ALSO: 'Death of a Unicorn' trailer: Jenna Ortega and Paul Rudd run over a unicorn. Chaos ensues.

But in the film's second trailer, it becomes clear that there are multiple unicorns in the picture — and they're on the hunt for revenge.

The trailer opens on Elliot and Ridley driving through a massive nature reserve donated by the billionaire Leopold family, played by Richard E. Grant, Téa Leoni, and Will Poulter. Apparently, it's been untouched by man, meaning it's the perfect place for magical creatures to flourish, unnoticed. At least, until someone hits them with a car. After that, it's all downhill.

That's because the discovery of Elliot and Ridley's dead unicorn has the Leopolds seeing dollar signs. If they can harness the unicorn's curative properties — especially its capacity for immortality — then they could make a killing.

"We have a moral imperative to harvest every last one," Poulter's character proclaims.

Not so fast, Leopolds! There are more unicorns out there, including a very scary dark unicorn. And they are bloodthirsty. Check out the beginnings of the unicorn gorefest in the trailer above.

Death of a Unicorn premieres March 8 at SXSW. It hits theaters March 28.

Toxic Town, a new four-part Netflix drama out today, is a based on a sadly true story. Written by Jack Thorne (Enola Holmes, His Dark Materials), the limited series traces the child poisonings of Corby, Northamptonshire, and the long legal battle led by the families, primarily mothers, of children born with deformities caused by toxic dust from the former British Steel factory, closed in 1979.

In a heartbreaking video by Netflix, Toxic Town stars Jodie Whittaker and Aimee Lou Wood spoke to mothers Susan McIntyre, Tracey Taylor, and Maggie Mahon about their experiences, growing up in Corby, and the seemingly endless fight for their day in court — as well as how their story was represented in the Netflix series.

"All the years of fighting then finding out that, yes, that the judge believed us mums and we were right, was such a big sense of relief because we didn't do anything and it wasn't our fault," says Taylor. In 2010, Corby Borough Council was found negligent for waste management at the steelworks.

In the show, Whittaker plays McIntyre, Wood plays Taylor, and Bridgerton's Claudia Jessie plays Mahon. There's a deeply moving moment between Taylor and Wood, which honours Taylor's daughter Shelby Anne, who died at just four days old. "What you have done for her I am in debt to you, because you have done her justice, and you have done us justice and we will be forever grateful," says Taylor.

Whittaker described being part of Toxic Town as "a huge honour," and championed the women who lived through the series' very real events.

"For me and Aimee Lou, we had lots of scenes together that were within the hospitals, so we could appreciate without ever knowing what you've been through, what it must’ve have been like to go day in day out in those environments. And then for someone to question the validity of your claims is unimaginable, and completely unacceptable," she said.

"This will bring attention to something incredibly shocking, incredibly heartbreaking and totally avoidable."

Toxic Town is now streaming on Netflix.

If you're reading this, you're looking for a little help playing Strands, the New York Times' elevated word-search game.

Strands 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.

The NYT's latest daily word game has become a social media hit.

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.

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.

Wordle eventually became so popular that it was purchased by the New York Times, and TikTok creators even livestream themselves playing.
