The first computers I used in my life had nothing but floppy drives. One for the operating system and one for the software you wanted to run. Even as hard drives and CD-ROM drives appeared on the scene, the humble floppy stuck around for most of that time until USB flash drives finally filled that need.

Let's face it: no one likes vacuuming their floors. If that's a task you're thoroughly fed up with and don't want to deal with any longer, you're in luck. You can outsource it to a robot vacuum. You don't have to spend an arm and a leg on doing so either, especially when this particular model is on sale for a great price at Amazon.

This particular model boasts 22,000 Pa of suction with a zero tangling system, ultra-slm build, and a special arm to reach out and clean nooks and crannies. It can empty its own reservoir, and it specializes in both corner and edge cleaning, areas you might have difficulty reaching yourself with a normal vacuum. Plus, it can more than handle itself with its navigation system that helps it avoid obstacles while mapping out your home.

Mashable's Leah Stodart praised the vacuum for its ability to "never get lost" while claning as well as its quiet operation, livestream pet camera, and "impeccable" corner sweeping and mopping.

"[...] the Saros 10R is a wickedly well-rounded robot vacuum that would be a totally satisfactory upgrade in a lot of homes, especially ones with a lot of hard floors," Stodart wrote. "Its suction power and mopping work together in tandem to achieve results more reliable than what I've ever experienced, even if its work on low pile rugs hasn't been as exceptional as I'd expect for a premium vac."

If that sounds like your type of robot vacuum, get yours fast before the price goes back up to normal.

We all have plenty on our plates right now. On top of normal life, we're now required to watch several hours of 2026 Olympic streams everyday while questioning how one gets into luge as a sport.

Let the robot map your home, set a cleaning schedule in the Shark app, and forget about floor cleaning for up to one month. Plus it comes with the reassurance of HEPA filtration, so you know once that dust gets sucked up, it won't end up back in the air.

Shark mentions this model is ideal for those with pets since the suction combined with brush roll is capable of tackling hair without getting tangled. Shark also says it'll rid your floors of dander and allergens like pollen come spring.

Not only does this model get up to 120 minutes of run time per charge, it uses Shark's Matrix Clean Navigation. While many robot vacuums take a once-over dirty areas, the Shark cleans in a matrix pattern, ensuring each area is spotless.

I don't know about you, but I have Olympic fever. It's inspiring to watch the world's best athletes compete at the 2026 Winter Olympics in the Italian regions of Milan and Cortina d'Ampezzo.

It's no secret that Ryobi gets a lot of hate online. You've probably seen videos on social media poking fun at the bright lime-green tools, and asking for advice in a Reddit tool forum will quickly get responses about just how "bad" they are.

Eating fast food may not be the fanciest way to spend date night, but McDonald's is upping the ante for Valentine's Day.

In a first-of-its-kind luxury collab, McDonald's is teaming up with Paramount Caviar to offer customers McNugget Caviar kits for the most romantic weekend of the year. Each kit includes a one-ounce tin of Baerii Sturgeon caviar, a $25 McDonald's gift card (to buy plenty of McNuggets), creme fraiche, and a Mother of Pearl caviar spoon, according to a press release. And the best part is it's completely free.

Why McNugget Caviar?

While it might feel incredibly random to some folks (including me), the chicken nugget and caviar combo is actually a fine dining trend. Korean-inspired fried chicken restaurant COQODAQ served up a dish of nuggets topped with Petrossian caviar, creme fraiche, and chives at the U.S. Open last year in New York City. Despite the outlandish cost ($100 for chicken nuggets!), it was a hit. The combo has been an ironic luxury treat for years, though. Trendsetter Rihanna even posted about it back in December 2024.

"What makes this pairing so iconic? The crispy, golden goodness of our signature McNuggets and the salty, savory, black pearls of Paramount’s Baerii Sturgeon caviar make for a true match made in heaven for the special occasions in life," the fast food chain said in the announcement.

McDonald's McNugget Caviar kits will be available exclusively at McNuggetCaviar.com (not available in stores) starting Tuesday, Feb. 10 at 11 a.m. ET. Mark your calendars. The company has not said how many kits will be available, only that supplies are limited. So you'll want to act quickly.

As noted above, the kits are completely free of charge. Considering a single ounce of Paramount’s Baerii Sturgeon caviar typically costs $95, this is one helluva deal. Looks like fast food can be fancy after all.

The 2026 Sundance Film Festival has come to an end, but our excitement over the movies we saw there burns hot even in these frigid times! So, what are the best films of Sundance 2026?

Entertainment Editor Kristy Puchko watched a slew of movies through Sundance's online streaming platform. Then, she sat down on our Say More couch to share her five favorites.

5. Mum, I'm Alien Pregnant

This New Zealand comedy from the directing duo THUNDERLIPS (aka Sean Wallace and Jordan Mark Windsor) centers on a surly millennial underachiever (Hannah Lynch) whose hasty hook-up with an awkward neighbor (Arlo Green) leads to — well — getting alien pregnant. See, he's part alien, which explains why his junk is pretty otherworldly. But from this unintended pregnancy spirals a comedy about motherhood that's hilarious, subversive, pretty gross, and surprisingly heartwarming.*

SEE ALSO: 'Mum, I'm Alien Pregnant' review: Body horror meets Kiwi comedy in this absolutely outrageous sci-fi gem 4. Everybody to Kenmure Street

If you're in need of a sign that a single act of solidarity can make a big difference, you'll relish the documentary Everybody to Kenmure Street. Documentarian Felipe Bustos Sierra looks back on at a spontaneous protest that arose in Glasgow, Scotland, in May of 2021. There, the UK Home Office conducted a raid that targeted two Muslim men, whose capture and possible deportation were stopped by the non-violent intervention of their neighbors. How did it go down? And what does Emma Thompson have to do with it? Watch the video above to find out.

Notably, Kenmure Street earned a special prize at Sundance: World Cinema Documentary Special Jury Award for Civil Resistance.

SEE ALSO: 10 movies out of Sundance 2026 you should know about right now 3. Run Amok

Sundance comedies got dark this year. A great example is writer/director NB Mager's Run Amok, which focuses on a group of high schoolers who try to process the trauma of a school shooting through song and dance. The story centers on nerdy harp enthusiast Meg (Alyssa Marvin), whose mother was killed in a school shooting ten years before — at the very high school she's now attending. Offered a chance to perform to create a group catharsis for the tragedy, Meg turns to a motley crew of theater kids to develop the perfect presentation. But as they bounce through acting exercises and problematic uses of pop songs, they get pushback from grown-ups on the appropriate way to process pain. A compelling and oddball coming-of-age comedy, Run Amok is a gem.

2. The Incomer

Winner of the NEXT Innovator Award, The Incomer is a curious tale of folklore, culture conflict, and burgeoning attraction. Written and directed by Louis Paxton, the comedy begins with a grown brother (Grant O’Rourke) and sister (Gayle Rankin), who've spent the past 30 years on a Scottish island alone. Then the "incomer" arrives. He (Domhnall Gleeson) is a timid office drone tasked with serving them an eviction notice and a ride back to mainland Scotland. Little can he predict the dramatic (and hilarious) response such a pronouncement will spark. Comic violence, awkward rituals, and animated stories come into play as these three find shaky common ground, and ultimately a perfectly offbeat happy ending.

1. Josephine

Among critics, Josephine is easily the most buzzed-about title out of Sundance. Written and directed by Beth de Araújo, this drama focuses on an 8-year-old girl named Josephine (Mason Reeves) who witnesses a sexual assault in a local park. From there, de Araújo explores how a child copes with such trauma through showing Josephine recreating what she saw through play, acting out at school, and imagining the rapist casually invading her home. Beyond exploring her experience through cinematography that frequently binds us to the child's visual perspective, the filmmaker also exposes how her parents (Gemma Chan and Channing Tatum) struggle to explain rape culture to their little girl. Not a tear-jerker but a nuanced family drama that's ripe in emotional intelligence and thought-provoking sequences, Josephine is a hard watch and a must-see.

Waymo's robotaxis are almost ready to launch in Nashville.

The company has been testing its autonomous vehicles in the city for a while, having announced the launch in Nashville back in September 2025. Now, Waymo announced that it's testing its robotaxis without a human safety driver, which is typically the last step before the service launches for everyone.

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

Waymo plans to initially offer rides in Nashville through its Waymo One app. The company partnered with Lyft for the launch in Nashville, and Waymo's autonomous robotaxis should become available through Lyft's app down the line, too.

Waymo plans to rapidly expand its robotaxi service throughout 2026, both in the U.S. and abroad. The Alphabet-owned company recently took a monster, $16 billion financing round and announced plans to expand to more than 20 new cities in 2026.

Mario Tennis Fever makes a good argument that less can be more in the context of family-friendly sports games.

The Nintendo Switch 2-exclusive title from Nintendo and longtime series developer Camelot Software feels like the product of everyone taking a good, long look at Mario Tennis Aces for the Switch and realizing it had too much going on. While I enjoyed the audacity of that game's fighting game-esque complexities, it ultimately felt alienating to me (and presumably other people of my disposition) because the skill ceiling was too high to realistically enjoy online play once you ran out of solo experiences.

Fever, seemingly as a response to that, gives the player a little bit less to worry about over the course of a match, which lets the still-very-fun basic tennis mechanics shine more. All of that works in tandem with a fun story mode that does a great job of tutorializing Fever's intricacies and enough secondary modes to keep Fever fun at almost any level of engagement.

Mario Tennis Fever is, to its credit, not particularly ambitious in terms of what it offers out of the box. There's a single-player adventure mode that most people will probably finish in fewer than 10 hours, a challenge tower mode that provides a series of matches with unique conditions that escalate in difficulty, and a respectable selection of multiplayer options for both traditional tennis matches and wacky party game nonsense.

I imagine the adventure mode will be of great interest to many readers, given that the series has a history of quality solo offerings (particularly in handheld entries) with RPG-like character development and bespoke challenges that creatively make use of tennis mechanics and rules. That's more or less what Camelot put in Fever. Its paper-thin story involves Mario and friends being turned into babies by a mysterious evil force, at which point they have to learn how to play tennis again so they can defeat their adversary and become adults. Mario (the main playable character in this mode) gains experience levels after each challenge, though admittedly, your growing skill as a player feels more meaningful than any quantitative changes gained from leveling.

It's not an extraordinarily long story mode by any stretch of the imagination. The pacing can feel a little odd at the start, given that you're at a tennis academy learning the basics for at least an hour to kick things off. This turns out to be necessary, though, because everything afterward is a further test of your skill. Puzzles and boss fights regularly require the player to hit the ball to certain areas of the court to succeed, making the adventure mode as a whole feel like an extended learning experience, even after you get out of the academy.

It isn't the most mind-blowing story mode in a sports game I've ever seen, but it is fun, and I recommend playing as much of it as you can before jumping into anything else because it is a genuinely useful tool for getting better at Mario Tennis Fever. I also dig the core concept of the adventure mode: that tennis is the main way to solve any problems, big or small, in this world. That's a funny conceit.

Less fighting game, more tennis Video game tennis is still fun. Credit: Nintendo

As for the tennis itself, as I mentioned previously, it's been pared down in complexity from what was present in Aces. That game had a special move meter you had to manage, alongside rackets having their own HP bar and other contrivances that made it surprisingly sweaty and skillful for a children's tennis game. I don't think that was bad, necessarily, but it did put a hard ceiling on how enjoyable it was to play against other human beings, especially over the internet.

Fever makes what I would say is the right call by putting the player's focus almost solely on tennis. Different characters have different archetypes (speedy, defensive, etc.), and there are new Fever Rackets that have special abilities that I'll get to in a second, but for the most part, Fever is a game about hitting a ball back and forth. Each of the four face buttons does a different type of hit, and certain button combinations or types of timing will perform more advances shots like lobs and drop shots. It's very easy to wrap your head around once you've played for an hour or so.

There is still a meter to manage here, though it's exceptionally simple. It's used for Fever Shots, a new type of shot that, when performed, briefly slows down time, giving the player a chance to aim a very fast-moving shot. When using Fever Rackets, this shot will take on whatever effect is attached to whichever racket you've chosen. One of them creates a field of damaging fire (you can run out of HP, which makes you move slower for a while), another makes you briefly faster and invincible, yet another creates a shadow clone that hits back shots you can't, and so on. These add a good amount of strategy and variety to the proceedings, and I think it's crucial that they're all activated the same way, using a meter that doesn't require any kind of advanced management techniques. You either have the ability to do a Fever Shot, or you don't, at which point you probably will soon because the meter fills up automatically.

I find that this is about the correct level of mechanical depth for a Mario Tennis game. Aces was ambitious, but it quickly became kind of overwhelming if you didn't want to be hardcore about it. Fever, on the other hand, has a learning curve that can be overcome fairly quickly, so you can reasonably expect newcomers to have a good time in casual multiplayer settings.

You might run out of things to do fairly quickly Adventure mode is fun, but it's not especially long. Credit: Nintendo

As I said earlier, the adventure mode is over pretty quickly. The challenge tower mode adds some more single-player meat to the bone, but that too seems like something you can clear out within a week or two of purchase if you feel up to it. As a solo experience, Fever probably won't keep you engaged for dozens or hundreds of hours. You'll either need people to play with locally, or enough bravery to duke it out with others online. I did play a bit of the game online during the review period and can confirm that it works as expected, so this seems like a totally viable way to enjoy Fever, especially now that Nintendo offers comprehensive voice chat.

My only real complaint about the multiplayer is that some of the modes are gimmicky. In particular, there are some more party game-esque modes that are fun to do only once or twice. One of them, inspired by Super Mario Bros. Wonder, adds ridiculous and random conditions to the match, like asking players to hit floating animals back and forth at each other. Another replaces traditional tennis scoring with rings that you have to hit the ball through for points. These are decent ideas that work OK in practice, but I can't see myself playing them over the actual tennis modes on a regular basis.

Still, when it comes to regular tennis, the variety of characters, Fever Rackets, and even courts that offer variable surfaces that change up ball speed means that there's plenty to experiment with. I should also take a moment to mention that Fever, like other first-party Switch 2 games, is gorgeous to look at. It also performs flawlessly.

Ultimately, Mario Tennis Fever may not be remarkable, but that's fine. I appreciate what previous Mario sports games like Aces did to stand out, but ultimately, I just want to play tennis. If you dig tennis video games, this is a pretty good one, and that's really all you can ask for.

The digital world is messy, noisy, and occasionally hostile, and I've tried to stay at least a little security-conscious as more of my life has moved online. For a long time, that meant using a password manager and calling it a day. Strong, unique passwords everywhere felt like the finish line. The problem is that threats have changed, and habits haven't always kept up. These days, relying on a password manager alone is a lot like locking your front door while leaving the windows open.
