New models of smartphones get released on a constant churn, and even if you don't upgrade every year, it's a safe bet that your current phone is not your first. The chances are that you have some old phones lying around your home. The same is probably true of other devices such as tablets and e-readers.

If you’ve been wanting to upgrade your aerial photography setup, this weekend might be a great chance to do so. Amazon has DJI’s Mini 5 Pro on sale for almost a third off its list price, which is a pretty good deal. The Mini 5 Pro is an excellent sidekick for outdoor adventurers, aerial photography hobbyists, and professionals who want a compact, portable device.

The drone is palm-sized when folded and fits easily into a pocket. This model comes replete with 42GB of internal storage, so you can film your adventure or venture entirely uninterrupted. Its portability and compactness do not compromise its ability to capture high-quality video, either. As previously mentioned, the drone records 4k footage with a 60fps (frames per second) frame rate. DJI claims this drone will render your content in crisp, clear, highly defined detail.

The drone also comes with the DJI RC 2 (the remote control) that has a large screen in the center to see what you’re filming in real time.

For years, I used a gas generator as backup power during outages, whether they were expected or unexpected blackouts. I recently replaced the gas generator with a battery-powered one. While both serve the same purpose, the battery-powered generator proved to be a true upgrade.

Ignoring the Applied Steps pane in the Power Query editor means you're stuck in a loop of trial and error. That's how you end up with a bloated workflow that turns a five-minute cleanup into an afternoon chore. You don't need to learn any code to fix this—you just need to learn how to manipulate your existing steps.

Luxury buyers usually expect a calm, cushy ride as part of the deal. For years, European SUVs have set the benchmark, leaning on sophisticated suspension setups to deliver that smooth, planted feel.

The high-value MTG Collector Booster Boxes don’t usually drop in price by massive amounts, but Walmart has subtly become the best place to pre-order the TMNT version.

As of March 3, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Collector Booster Box (12 packs) is listed for $399.99 at Walmart. That’s not only $9.57 cheaper than Amazon’s current $409.56 preorder price, but also lands below TCGplayer’s $400.01 market price at the time of writing — and is much cheaper than any listings on the dedicated trading card selling platform.

The current lowest presale price there is $447.99 before shipping, which makes Walmart the most-budget-friendly option if you’re trying to lock in a fair preorder price.

For collectors, the appeal is the usual Collector Booster assortment — plus a TMNT twist. Each box includes 12 Collector Boosters, and each pack has 15 cards with 0-3 Surge Foils, 9-12 Traditional Foils, five rares or mythics, and a Full-Art land. There’s even a Borderless signature Kevin Eastman headliner card in under 1% of boosters.

Among other MTG deals, the Magic: The Gathering Bloomburrow Play Booster Box is still available for under $138 at Amazon. As for additional expansions, you can get three packs of Magic: The Gathering Final Fantasy Play Boosters for only $24.97.

TL;DR: The Pokémon TCG Mega Evolution Perfect Order Elite Trainer Box is listed for $95.81 at TCGplayer (plus shipping), edging just above market price and beating Amazon’s $114.95 listing by about $9.

If you’re a Pokémon TCG fan who has been holding out for a Perfect Order ETB that isn’t priced like a $200+ chase card, TCGplayer is currently the go-to option. As of March 3, preorders for the Perfect Order Elite Trainer Box are only $95.81 — a hair above the current market price of $95.68. Just keep in mind that shipping is added at checkout.

Even with shipping factored in, it still undercuts Amazon’s current $114.95 price, which is a rare win for a sealed Mega Evolution product this close to launch. Like other retailers, TCGplayer also notes this is a presale item with an estimated shipping date of March 27, 2026 (from the expansion’s official release date). So you’ll be locking in the price now and waiting for release-day fulfillment, offsetting any future price hikes that might come up in the next few weeks.

The Perfect Order ETB offers the same range you get from other Elite Trainer Boxes: nine booster packs of trading cards, 65 card sleeves, a player’s guide, dice/condition markers, a collector’s storage box with dividers, and a code card for Pokémon TCG Live.

Compared to how Ascended Heroes Elite Trainer Boxes are now selling for at least $120, getting this box for just over $105 is a solid deal by comparison. As we get closer to the expansion’s official release on March 27, we expect prices to go up once retailer stock sells out. 

For even lower-priced ETBs, you can also buy the Pokémon TCG’s Mega Evolution Elite Trainer Boxes for just under $90 at Walmart.

Google has announced a string of updates for Gemini for Home, including "Live Search" for Nest cameras.

Rolled out to U.S. devices in October and November and expanded globally in early 2026, Google's big AI-powered upgrade to Google Assistant has experienced ups and downs — namely, backlash around previously free features that are now paywalled behind a Google Home Premium subscription. However, it seems like Google is listening to feedback on at least the technical side of Gemini for Home, with another batch of improvements hitting the company's competitor to Amazon's Alexa.

On Monday, head of product for Google Home and Nest, Anish Kattukaran, posted on X about the latest updates coming to Google's AI voice assistant and Nest devices, from voice command fixes to location accuracy.

This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed. "Live Search" for Nest cameras Google's latest Nest cameras: the Nest Cam Indoor (3rd gen), Nest Cam Outdoor (2nd gen) and Nest Doorbell (3rd gen). Credit: Google

This is probably the most notable update that Kattukaran announced: A feature available only to Premium subscribers ($10 per month or $100 per year), "Live Search" will be added to Google's Nest cameras. This is different to Google's AI-powered "Search Live" feature, which lets smartphone users request real-time information with their phone camera.

With "Live Search," Kattukaran said you'll be able to "ask Gemini to understand the current state of your home" with questions like "Hey Google, is there a car in the driveway?" and if you have Nest cameras installed you'll get an update from Gemini. Exactly what this means for privacy and security remains to be seen, but honestly, it's been a rocky time for Big Tech and AI-powered cameras.

In another Nest upgrade, Google Home's integration with Yale Lock smart locks — where you can manage security measures like passcodes and guest access in the Home app — is out of beta and into general release. And Nest Wifi Pro, Google's mesh WiFi system, has upped performance and security.

Fixes to voice commands including cut-offs The Google Home Speaker, launched in Oct. 2025. Credit: Google

Several updates relate to how users communicate with Google devices, with context improvements promised for asking Gemini general questions and giving everyday commands. A common complaint with Google Home users, getting cut-off while speaking, has also been addressed, with Kattukaran saying that the team has "significantly reduced these premature cut-offs to ensure Gemini correctly understands you, enabling smoother and more fluid turn-taking during live conversations."

There's also been an update to how Gemini understands the nuances of smart devices within the same room (like kitchen lights vs kitchen devices) and those with alternative names (you know you've named your lights something dumb). "Got a device uniquely named 'Table Glow'?" Kattukaran wrote. "Gemini now automatically knows it's a light based on manufacturer data, meaning it will correctly respond to 'turn on the lights' even without the word 'light' in its name."

Gemini for Home will apparently go harder on customising responses based on your home address, which you can set in the Google Home app as usual. This means when you're asking Google about the news and weather, it'll be more specific to your area (this is beneficial to people who share a Home account but might not always be under the same roof — people work, socialise, and travel).

According to Kattukaran, Google has also fixed command targeting so if you ask your device to turn off lights, for example, it will only do so in the location you're currently in (if you're a fancy pants with several houses and one Google Home account, this will be helpful to you).

SAVE UP TO $900: As of March 3, Samsung is offering those who pre-order the new Galaxy S26 Ultra the chance to save up to $900 with an eligible instant trade-in or get $150 Samsung Credit without trade-in.

Samsung's latest Galaxy Unpacked event was filled with plenty of announcements, including news of the brand new Galaxy S26 Ultra phone. If this sleek device has caught your eye, Samsung's treating customers who pre-order the phone to a bonus when they trade-in an eligible device.

Those interested in pre-ordering the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra from Samsung's online store can save up to $900 with an eligible trade-in, which will be credited from your final price. That's a pretty nice offer for a preorder, which starts at $1,299.99 for the 256GB model.

You'll want to be quick to take advantage of this limited-time offer. This offer only lasts for a week (Samsung has a timer already going on the store page), so you don't want to wait too long to make a move on it.

As with many of these trade-in offers, your device needs to be eligible to qualify. Thankfully, scrolling down to the "Samsung Trade-in" section on the page and clicking "Yes, trade-in" opens up a window where you can check your device's eligibility. The criteria includes its condition, which needs to be "Good" in order to get the full trade-in value. Here are those requirements:

• Device turns on and screen works normally

• Activation Locks are disabled, accounts are removed, and device is factory reset

• Charging port works and battery holds a charge

• Screen, body (front and back), and camera lens are free of cracks

• The device is not on a banned list

Alternatively, if you don't have a device to trade in, you can get $150 worth of Samsung Credit to use towards add-ons when you pre-order. These include earbuds, watches, tablets, select accessories, and select Samsung Care+ packages.

Mashable's Amanda Yeo was able to get hands-on with the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra and highlighted its new privacy display. She stated that she, "Found it remarkably effective — particularly its Maximum mode. Activating the Privacy display made the S26 Ultra's screen appear noticeably darker when viewed from wide angles, rendering it more difficult to read if not facing it head-on."

If you can't wait to get your hands on it, why not save a little cash when pre-ordering? Don't miss out on this great offer to save up to $900 with an eligible instant trade-in Credit when pre-ordering the Galaxy S26 Ultra at Samsung.

The one handy thing about having a president who spent years as a celebrity is that there's no shortage of old footage to draw on when you need a clip of them contradicting themselves after they start a war.

This is exactly what Jimmy Kimmel does in the clip above, digging out some footage of Donald Trump in 2011 saying he thinks Obama "will start a war with Iran because he has absolutely no ability to negotiate" and calling him "weak and ineffective."

"Well, look at that: another prediction he got right," says Kimmel, before sharing a 2012 tweet from Trump on the same topic: "Now that Obama's poll numbers are in tailspin — watch for him to launch a strike in Libya or Iran," Trump wrote. "He is desperate."

"Well, I guess at least we know why he did this," says Kimmel.

The NYT's latest daily word game has become a social media hit. The Times credits associate puzzle editor Wyna Liu with helping to create the new word game and bringing it to the publications' Games section. Connections can be played on both web browsers and mobile devices and require players to group four words that share something in common.

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

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.

Today's NYT Strands hints are easy if you're a neat freak.

Strands, the New York Times' elevated word-search game, 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.
