If you like the idea of using an AI-powered system with technology similar to ChatGPT to pressure-test your investment ideas or keep tabs on a portfolio, this discounted price lowers the barrier to trying it out. The Sterling Stock Picker is on sale for $55.19 (reg. $486) until Feb. 22 at 11:59 p.m. PT.

Biopics aren't the only way to honor an artist's music, and Craig Brewer's (Hustle & Flow, Dolemite Is My Name) Song Sung Blue is living proof. It stars Kate Hudson and Hugh Jackman as a married couple and Neil Diamond cover band out of Milwaukee. Mashable's entertainment editor calls it "uplifting, heart-wrenching, and wondrous all at once." And, yes, there are plenty of Diamond songs to enjoy throughout the film.

Song Sung Blue also stars Michael Imperioli, Ella Anderson, King Princess, Mustafa Shakir, Jayson Warner Smith, Hudson Hensley, Fisher Stevens, and Jim Belushi.

If you can't wait to watch it from your couch, here are all the streaming details you need to know.

What is Song Sung Blue about?

Based on the incredible true story of Lightning and Thunder, a Neil Diamond cover band, Song Sung Blue follows Mike and Claire Sardina (Jackman and Hudson) as the musical married couple. "Together they craft electric chemistry, rousing song numbers, and a love story that hits with the force of a runaway car," writes Mashable's Kristy Puchko. Ultimately, it tells the story of how love and music can help us overcome tragedy and trauma. Bring tissues.

Check out the official trailer below:

Is Song Sung Blue worth watching?

If you're a lover of Neil Diamond, then of course Song Sung Blue is worth watching. If not, you'll still probably love it. It currently has a solid 78 percent critic rating and a super impressive 97 percent audience rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

"All this makes for a feel-good movie that can be jarringly intense, because the bad times can come out of nowhere. (C'est la vie!) But like a great Neil Diamond song, Song Sung Blue will find its way into your heart, where it will linger," Puchko writes in her review.

We named it one of our favorite movies of 2025, crediting its thoughtful storytelling, wonderful cast, and "smartly chosen soundtrack that places the performances of Diamond's songs thematically." Hudson earned a nod at the Golden Globes for Best Performance by a Female Actor in a Motion Picture and is nominated for Best Actress in a Leading Role at the 2026 Oscars.

Bad Bunny's Super Bowl LX halftime show may have been brimming with popular music, Easter eggs, and celebrity cameos, but not everyone was a fan.

In The Daily Show clip above, Jon Stewart discusses the right's reaction to the show, from the Kid Rock-fronted alternative event to right-wing pundits complaining that they could have found someone "more uniting".

"Why the f*** is it the Super Bowl halftime entertainer's job to unify the country?" asks Stewart. "In what world is that their job? Oh, isn't there another person whose job description is much more along those lines?"

Stewart goes on to share Donald Trump's Truth Social reaction to the performance, in which he called Bad Bunny "absolutely terrible".

"You know, the right has a lot of balls, complaining that Bad Bunny didn't do enough to unify this country, when you only found out a few days ago that Puerto Rico's a part of it," says Stewart. "And before you get your panties in una torsión, a unifying pro tip might be to tell your guy to stop tweeting out racist slop during, I don't know, Black History Month."

It's hard to escape Timothée Chalamet in film these days. First, he was Wonka, then he conquered Bob Dylan, and now he's taking audiences into the high-stakes world of 1950s table tennis as ping pong star Marty Mauser.

Directed by Josh Safdie and distributed by A24, Marty Supreme is a major contender this awards season. Chalamet has already won the Golden Globe for his performance as Marty, and we wouldn't be surprised if he took home the Oscar (finally). The sports dramedy also has a fantastic ensemble cast that includes Gwyneth Paltrow, Odessa A'zion, Kevin O'Leary, Tyler Okonma (aka Tyler, the Creator), Abel Ferrara, and Fran Drescher.

While it's still floating around in theaters, you don't have to battle the cold to watch it. Here's everything you need to know to catch it from your couch.

What is Marty Supreme about?

Inspired by the real-life story of table tennis champion Marty Reisman, Marty Mauser (Chalamet) is a man with a big dream — to achieve greatness and bring ping pong to the masses. Already a legend in his own mind, though he's barely scraping by, Marty just needs to pay his way to the championship overseas first. And he'll do anything to get there.

"Exploding with chaos, character, and kinetic energy, Marty Supreme is a movie about the city's scoundrels, their sins, and why we love them anyway," writes Mashable's entertainment editor Kristy Puchko.

Check out the official trailer for a glimpse at Marty Supreme:

Is Marty Supreme worth watching?

Now the highest-grossing A24 film domestically, Marty Supreme has surpassed Everything Everywhere All at Once in North America with over $80 million. Audiences aren't just showing up for it; they're loving it. Currently, the sports comedy holds an 82 percent audience rating and an impressive 93 percent critic rating on Rotten Tomatoes — with most cheering on Chalamet's performance. He's already won the Golden Globe and is nominated for an Oscar. That's not all, though; the film is also nominated for Best Picture, Best Production Design, Best Film Editing, Best Directing, Best Cinematography, Best Casting, Best Costume Design, and Best Original Screenplay.

"This zinging dialogue, racing score, and electric cast collide to create cinema that celebrates New York, while recognizing its warts with a bleeding grin. All of this makes Marty Supreme an unusual crowdpleaser," Mashable's Puchko writes in her review. "Full of wild humor and shocking turns, it has its audience in a chokehold of tension and surprise, rarely letting up for us to breathe. And yet, what a thrill to be breathless."

While we haven't got word on a specific streaming release date yet for Marty Supreme, we do know that it will make its debut on HBO Max.

A24 just renewed its output deal with Warner Bros. Discovery, so new A24 theatrical releases will still exclusively stream on HBO Max before anywhere else. If Marty Supreme follows a similar theater-to-streaming trajectory as other recently released A24 movies — like Sorry, Baby, Bring Her Back, and The Smashing Machine — we estimate that it will hit HBO Max sometime in April 2026.

HBO Max subscriptions start at $10.99 per month (thanks to its most recent price hike), but there are some ways to save some money on your plan. Check out the best HBO Max streaming deals below.

The best way to save on HBO Max on any given day is to sign up for the annual plan over the monthly plan. The HBO Max Basic plan with ads typically costs $10.99 per month, but if you pay for an entire year upfront, that price drops down to just $9.17. You'll pay $109.99 total for the year, which saves you about 16% compared to paying each month.

Rather go ad-free? The annual HBO Max Standard or Premium plans will also save you about 16% over their monthly counterparts. The Standard tier costs either $18.49 per month or $184.99 per year (about $15.42 per month), while the Premium tier costs either $22.99 per month or $229.99 per year (about $19.17 per month). Both tiers unlock ad-free viewing, but the Premium tier also adds 4K Ultra HD video quality, Dolby Atmos immersive audio, and the ability to download more offline content.

You'll get the most bang for your buck if you opt for the Disney+ bundle deal that includes Disney+, Hulu, and HBO Max for just $19.99 per month with ads. That lineup of streamers would usually cost you $34.97 per month if you paid separately for each, so you'll keep an extra $15 in your pocket monthly. If you prefer to watch without ads, the bundle will run you $32.99 per month as opposed to $56.47. That's up to 42% in savings for unlimited access to all three streaming libraries.

UPDATE: Feb. 10, 2026, 3:00 a.m. EST This article has been updated with the latest streaming information for "Marty Supreme."

Bluesky has added drafts, allowing you to park your posts and properly think them through before getting messy on main.

Rolling out from Monday, Bluesky's new drafts feature comes as part of its v1.116 update. This update also includes new welcome screen artwork in Bluesky's mobile app, and makes GIFs autoplay rather than function similarly to videos. However, the ability to save your Bluesky post drafts for later is by far the biggest change in the new update.

v1.116 is rolling out now! For all the overthinkers and perfectionists out there, we're launching Drafts.

— Bluesky (@bsky.app) February 10, 2026 at 7:21 AM

To save a post as a draft on Bluesky, simply compose it as you normally would, then select "Cancel" in the top left corner. A popup will then appear asking whether you'd like to save the post as a draft for later. Alternatively, you can also save a post as a draft by tapping the new "Drafts" button next to the "Post" button in the top right corner, which will prompt a similar popup asking if you want to save your post before viewing your drafts. If you're unable to see the button, check that your app is up to date.

When you want to view your Bluesky drafts, open the composition window as though you are writing a new post, then tap the "Drafts" button. You'll then see a list of your drafts, which you can tap to resume editing or delete as you desire. 

Drafts is a feature that Bluesky users have been requesting for a while, with competitors X and Threads already having it available. Bluesky previously acknowledged that it was still missing basic features such as drafts in a January blog post on its future plans, indicating that it's working to address this. The post also listed faster video uploads, longer clips, and allowing more than four photos to a post as other updates it aims to tackle this year.

Even so, Bluesky's comparatively slow implementation of basic features doesn't appear to have been fatal to its growth. Its recent Transparency Report stated that Bluesky's user base increased significantly in 2025, almost doubling from 25 million to 41 million over the past year.

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.

Welcome to your guide to Pips, the latest game in the New York Times catalogue.

Released in August 2025, the Pips puts a unique spin on dominoes, creating a fun single-player experience that could become your next daily gaming habit.

Currently, if you're stuck, the game only offers to reveal the entire puzzle, forcing you to move onto the next difficulty level and start over. However, we have you covered! Below are piecemeal answers that will serve as hints so that you can find your way through each difficulty level.

How to play Pips

If you've ever played dominoes, you'll have a passing familiarity for how Pips is played. As we've shared in our previous hints stories for Pips, the tiles, like dominoes, are placed vertically or horizontally and connect with each other. The main difference between a traditional game of dominoes and Pips is the color-coded conditions you have to address. The touching tiles don't necessarily have to match.

SEE ALSO: Wordle today: Answer, hints for February 10, 2026

The conditions you have to meet are specific to the color-coded spaces. For example, if it provides a single number, every side of a tile in that space must add up to the number provided. It is possible – and common – for only half a tile to be within a color-coded space.

Here are common examples you'll run into across the difficulty levels:

• Number: All the pips in this space must add up to the number.

• Equal: Every domino half in this space must be the same number of pips.

• Not Equal: Every domino half in this space must have a completely different number of pips.

• Less than: Every domino half in this space must add up to less than the number.

• Greater than: Every domino half in this space must add up to more than the number.

If an area does not have any color coding, it means there are no conditions on the portions of dominoes within those spaces.

Today's Connections: Sports Edition is for the Winter Olympics enthusiasts.

As we've shared in previous hints stories, this is a version of the popular New York Times word game that seeks to test the knowledge of sports fans.

Like the original Connections, the game is all about finding the "common threads between words." And just like Wordle, Connections resets after midnight and each new set of words gets trickier and trickier — so we've served up some hints and tips to get you over the hurdle.

If you just want to be told today's puzzle, you can jump to the end of this article for the latest Connections solution. But if you'd rather solve it yourself, keep reading for some clues, tips, and strategies to assist you.

The NYT's latest daily word game has launched in association with The Athletic, the New York Times property that provides the publication's sports coverage. 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.

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

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.

Android devices, iPhones, iPads, and many websites might have the latest emoji, but Windows 11 still hasn't caught up. Thankfully, that might finally change soon, as Microsoft is once again testing Emoji 16.0 support.

OpenAI has begun rolling out ads inside ChatGPT, marking a major shift for a product that has largely operated without traditional advertising since its launch in 2022.

In a blog post published this week, the company confirmed it is testing ads for logged-in users on its Free and Go plans in the U.S., while keeping paid tiers like Pro, Business, Enterprise, and Education ad-free. OpenAI said the move will help fund broader access to advanced AI tools without requiring every user to pay a subscription.

SEE ALSO: ChatGPT GPT-4o users are raging at OpenAI on Reddit right now

"Our focus with this test is learning," OpenAI's blog post read. "We’re paying close attention to feedback so we can make sure ads feel useful and fit naturally into the ChatGPT experience before expanding."

The ads appear outside of ChatGPT’s responses and are clearly labeled as sponsored content. OpenAI says ads do not influence how the chatbot answers questions and that user conversations are not shared with advertisers. Instead, ads are selected based on broad conversation topics and how users interact with ads, with restrictions in place to prevent sponsored content from appearing alongside sensitive topics such as health, mental health, or politics.

Those who use ChatGPT's free service can opt out of the ads, with a caveat.

"If you prefer not to see ads, you can upgrade to our Plus or Pro plans, or opt out of ads in the Free tier in exchange for fewer daily free messages," according to the company.

The opt-out options on ChatGPT found in the user settings Credit: Mashable screengrab via OpenAI

Users who do consent to ads will also have the option to opt out of ad personalization, limiting how sponsored content is selected. There are also options to stop ChatGPT from utilizing past AI chats to tailor ads, as well as deleting "all ads history and data" the company has compiled on a user.

At the time of publication, Mashable attempted to surface ads during regular use of ChatGPT but were unable to trigger any sponsored content, which aligns with OpenAI’s description of the rollout as a limited test rather than a full launch.

The rollout follows months of user confusion and frustration after widely circulated screenshots appeared to show promotional content embedded in ChatGPT responses. OpenAI previously dismissed those incidents as poorly timed "suggestions," but the distinction did little to calm concerns. As Mashable reported earlier this year, OpenAI has been quietly experimenting with ad formats internally while signaling that monetization would eventually be necessary to support the platform’s massive infrastructure costs.

With ChatGPT now testing ads and offering opt-out controls, OpenAI appears to be betting that transparency and choice will soften the transition to a more familiar, ad-supported internet model. However, that shift hasn’t gone unnoticed by competitors. Anthropic, one of OpenAI’s biggest rivals, used its Super Bowl LX ad buys to openly mock the idea of advertising inside AI chatbots.

The ads promote Anthropic’s chatbot, Claude, by staging scenarios where seemingly helpful conversations suddenly pivot into awkward sales pitches, ending with the tagline, "Ads are coming to AI. But not to Claude."

Disclosure: Ziff Davis, Mashable’s parent company, in April filed a lawsuit against OpenAI, alleging it infringed Ziff Davis copyrights in training and operating its AI systems.

The days of ChatGPT being an ad-free experience are coming to an end. OpenAI is starting to roll out advertisements to free ChatGPT accounts, and people on the cheaper Go subscription plan will also see them.

Gen Alpha kids raised on iPads and streaming services may not get it, but Super Bowl ads used to mean something in this country.

I'm talking about frogs that say "Bud," "Weis," "Er." I'm talking about handsome, shirtless men on horses. And let's not forget the absolute stranglehold those "Wassup?!" guys had on American culture circa 1999.

So, if you were one of the many people who were largely disappointed with this year's crop of Super Bowl ads, then join me in looking back on the best Super Bowl commercials from yesteryear — a time before generative AI and legal sports gambling.

Though, I do have to give it up to the "Relax Your Tight End" prostate exam ad featuring Rob Gronkowski.

Doritos "Finger Cleaner"

I feel like this ad should come with a trigger warning, but you really have to see it for yourself. I still see this commercial go viral on TikTok every once in a while.

Now, technically, this Super Bowl ad didn't actually air during the Super Bowl. Let me explain.

Frito-Lay used to host an annual Crash the Super Bowl contest, which let fans submit their own commercials for a cash prize. The winners would get their ads played during the game. While the unforgettable Finger Cleaner ad was one of the finalists in 2014, it didn't actually air, which is a damn shame.

Still, it lives on in commercial infamy.

Old Spice and "The Man Your Man Could Smell Like"

This 2010 classic introduced the world to Isaiah Mustafa, aka "the Man Your Man Could Smell Like," aka that guy on the horse. (Fun fact: Mustafa would go on to star in It: Chapter Two.)

Pringles "Stuck In"

According to very serious scientific research conducted by Pringles scientists, 43 percent of American Pringles customers have had their hands stuck in a tube of Pringles. Who among us hasn't wondered if there isn't a better shape for these potato snacks?

This Super Bowl ad dates back to 2022, a time before ChatGPT.

Pepsi and "The Joy of Pepsi"

So, you think you love all things Y2K, do you? Well, is the pre-9/11 Britney Spears "The Joy of Pepsi" ad seared into your brain forever?

Sure, it's less funny than it is iconic, but we had to include it.

Snickers, Betty White, and The Brady Bunch

Snack food brands really bring out the big guns for the Big Game. Or, at least, they used to. You may remember the late Betty White starring in this Snickers commercial, also for the 2010 Super Bowl.

But that's not the only Snickers ad worth remembering. The candy bar returned in 2015 for a Brady Bunch-themed commercial that's also a lot of fun.

Say it with us now: Marcia, Marcia, Marcia.

General Motors hates Norway

There was a time when you could put Will Ferrell in anything, and he could make you laugh. This 2021 electric vehicle ad sees the Saturday Night Live legend taking aim at those bastards in Norway.

Reebok and Terry Tate, Office Linebacker

This classic Reebok Super Bowl ad sees Terry Tate tearing through an office. And while that certainly looks like Oscar from The Office, this ad was made two years before we were introduced to the Dunder-Mifflin accounting department.

Wendy's "Where's the Beef?"

The infamous "Where's the Beef?" ad debuted in 1984 and launched actress Clara Peller to worldwide fame.

E*Trade Dancing Monkey

Who doesn't love a dancing monkey? This E*Trade commercial was instantly famous for its clever tagline, “Well, we just wasted $2,000,000. What are you doing with your money?”

Volkswagen "The Force"

German car company Volkswagen is famous for iconic ads, dating back to its "Lemon" magazine ad, which even earned a shoutout in Mad Men. But modern audiences may best remember this adorable and hilarious Star Wars-themed ad instead.

Why is everyone so mad about the Ring Super Bowl ad? The short TV spot "Search Party" should pull at the heartstrings — it's got a puppy, lost dogs, a father and daughter, and a happy ending. It even promises viewers they can "Be a hero in your neighborhood.”

What more could you want?

Privacy.

Many viewers on both the right and left were disturbed by the privacy implications of the advertised "Search Party" feature. This AI tool is designed to reunite lost dogs with their owners, and the Super Bowl ad claims that one lost pet is found every day thanks to the technology.

Here's how Search Party works: When a dog is lost, pet owners can upload a picture of their pet, at which point their neighbors' Ring video doorbells and security cameras will start looking for the lost pup. Of course, as viewers quickly realized, if Ring can do this for lost dogs, there's no reason it couldn't identify a human face just as easily.

I was at the November 2025 Amazon event where Search Party was first announced, and the AI detection feature seemed problematic from the jump. As I reported at the time, privacy advocates warned that some of Amazon's new AI features could even violate state privacy laws.

Of course, those privacy laws don't apply to dogs, which is why critics are calling Search Party a Trojan horse for mass surveillance technology.

For progressive Americans on alert because of increased ICE activity, the ad seemed especially poorly timed.

Ring's history is also working against it. In the past, progressives have criticized Ring for sharing footage with law enforcement, which the company has said it only does in rare emergencies, with customers' permission, or when required to do so by a subpoena or warrant. On top of that, back in 2023, the Federal Trade Commission accused Ring employees and contractors of accessing customers' private videos.
