Less than 4 months ago, Australia banned social media for kids under 16, sparking a wave of similar proposals from governments around the world. The latest effort to ban social media for children now comes from Austria. In a press release, the Austrian government announced that a bill will be introduced by the end of June to ban social media use for children under 14.

According to the press release, a mandatory minimum age of 14 for social media would only be one part of the bill seeking to address child safety online. The bill would also introduce media literacy in schools to help young people "recognize disinformation and radicalization."

The Austrian government said these measures would be taken in order to address the issues children have faced as a result of social media, such as cyberbullying, addiction, and mental health problems.

While the press release doesn't provide many details, it does mention that any bill introduced would address data privacy concerns related to age verification methods, ensuring that users' information is protected.

Many social media platforms have policies requiring users to be a certain age to join. However, these rules are implemented by companies themselves, with little to no incentive to uphold them. At the government level, however, as in Australia's first such bill, these bills slap social media companies with hefty fines for allowing users under age to join their platforms. The U.S. may be joining soon, as a bipartisan group of Senators proposed a bill earlier this year that would ban social media for children under 13.

The U.S. also recently saw social media companies like Meta and YouTube lose two separate trials regarding social platforms harming young people's mental health. It will be interesting to see how U.S. lawmakers go forward with their age limit proposals following those verdicts.

Even if you're the biggest Windows fan out there, you'd have to admit that Microsoft left lots of gaps in Windows functionality for third-party software makers to exploit. Or did they?

Modern televisions don't have space for the large, front-firing speakers that you used to find on CRT TVs. If you're lucky, you'll get halfway decent speakers pointing down or out of the back of the TV. None of the arrangements make for a good listening experience, especially if you need to hear dialogue.

When you're chasing those perfect 3D prints, you probably focus a lot on dialing in slicer settings, getting your flow rates just right, and picking out cool filaments. But you might be overlooking a really fundamental, and possibly dangerous, part of your machine: the hotend.

When a file is no longer serving a purpose, it’s time to delete it, and you probably know at least one way of doing so. But there may be more ways than you realize, and each has its own advantages, quirks, and things to teach us.

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 March 29, 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.

Amazon's Big Spring Sale is now well underway and will run all the way through March 31.

So, if you've been hoping to get your hands on a brand-new smartwatch but refuse to pay full price, several Apple Watch models are on sale right now, with savings of up to $300.

While Apple's Series 11 and SE 3 are getting attention for being the newest models, a few last-generation models deserve a spotlight during this Big Spring Sale. This is because you can pick up the Apple Watch SE 2 for just $189 (save $60), or the Apple Watch Ultra 2 for $499 (save $300). If you don't mind an older model, they might be the way to go.

We're keeping this page updates with the live deals all weekend and through March 31. The following models are the best Apple Watch deals you can shop today (and they're all still in stock). However, we're seeing low stock alerts on a few models, so it's best to hop on these soon.

We've got you covered for the best Apple Watch deals through the Big Spring Sale.

A $100 discount on the 42mm GPS Apple Watch Series 11 drops it to a record-low price, making it the perfect time to grab what our Tech Editor, Timothy Beck Werth, calls the "Best Apple Upgrade." Mashable's Stan Schroeder agrees, noting the battery life alone is worth the jump. "Even if you already have a Series 10, which has nearly all the same features, the new Apple Watch Series 11 doesn’t require you to charge it mid-day in order to keep it going through the night," he writes.

If you just want a reliable smartwatch without paying for features you won't use, the Apple Watch SE 3 is the way to go. We named it the "Best for Most People" in our smartwatch guide because it packs the exact same S10 chip as the Ultra 3 and the same water resistance as the Series 11 — "all for $150 less than the Series 11."

Now that the Big Spring Sale is in full swing, the 40mm model is down to $219, saving you $30. It’s also not the only configuration on sale right now. We've rounded up a few other discounted SE 3 models below so you can pick your preferred setup and still save some cash.

SAVE $56: As of March 29, the Our Place Wonder Oven is on sale at Amazon for only $129 instead of its usual $185. That's a savings of 30% and its lowest price ever.

$185 Save $56   Get Deal

My air fryer bit the bullet at the end of 2025, which led me on the surprisingly overwhelming journey of choosing a new one. The market is overflowing with options, but I had a few priorities in mind on my search: non-toxic materials, a compact build that won't waste counter space, and an aesthetically pleasing design that matches my colorful kitchen. One of the only air fryers that checked all the boxes was the Our Place Wonder Oven.

I received the Wonder Oven as a gift, but honestly, it's one of the few appliances I'd gladly spend my own money on. Especially now that it's dropped to a new record-low price during the Big Spring Sale. It typically retails for $185, but you can pick it up in any color for just $129. That's a total steal for an air fryer that can also toast, reheat, roast, bake, and broil.

The Wonder Oven comes with three different trays you can swap out depending on what you're cooking — a chromed steel air fryer basket and wire rack, and an aluminum bake pan with non-toxic ceramic coating. There's also a chromed steel crumb tray to slide in at the bottom to keep the oven from getting too messy. You can also easily slip all three inside for storage when you're not using the oven.

It takes up just a sliver of counter space compared to other air fryers, yet it can fit a whole chicken up to 4.5 pounds. I was honestly concerned with how tiny it is when I opened it for the first time, but it's actually a perfect size to feed two people.

Did I mention this air fryer oven is actually cute? Its retro-inspired design features manual knobs instead of digital controls. So it doesn't just look like a hunk of tech on my counter; it looks like a tiny oven from the '70s.

With Amazon's Big Spring Sale running through March 31, you still have a few days to snag the Our Place Wonder Oven for its best price ever. If you're in the market for an air fryer, I urge you to consider this one.

Today's Connections: Sports Edition is for people who watch women's soccer.

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.

A quick look at the best MacBook deals from Amazon's Big Spring Sale: Best MacBook Air deal Apple MacBook Air, 15-inch (M4, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD) $1,099 (save $300) Get Deal Best MacBook Pro deal Apple MacBook Pro, 14-inch (M5, 24GB RAM, 1TB SSD) $1,799 (save $100) Get Deal Best MacBook Neo deal (that's barely a deal) Apple MacBook Neo (A18 Pro, 8GB RAM, 512GB SSD) $689.99 (save $9.01) Get Deal Best New Release Apple MacBook Air, 13-inch (M5, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD) $1,049 (save $50) Get Deal

Amazon's third annual Big Spring Sale is live through March 31. The event mainly revolves around seasonal essentials like cleaning supplies and outdoor gear, but it's also hosting some very attractive deals on must-have tech — including flagship Apple products like MacBooks. As Mashable's resident laptop expert, I'm on the case.

Apple actually just refreshed its MacBook lineup earlier this month, announcing updated MacBook Airs and Pros in addition to an all-new budget MacBook Neo. Most configurations of these new releases are seeing their very first (tiny) discounts during the Big Spring Sale, while their predecessors are priced to move at up to $300 off.

SEE ALSO: Amazon's Big Spring Sale is surprisingly good: We found 111+ deals on Apple, DJI, Sony, and Dyson

Keep in mind that Apple has discontinued its last-gen MacBooks, which means they'll only be available on the refurbished market once third-party retailers' inventories dry up. If you see a good deal on an M4 MacBook Air or Pro at Amazon this week, don't wait too long to add it to your cart. A few configurations are starting to go in and out of stock, and I think they'll sell out long before this summer's Prime Day sale. As of Sunday morning, we're seeing a few steeper price drops on MacBook Pro models compared to the first part of the Amazon Big Spring Sale. That means today could be a great day to buy.

I'll continue to monitor Amazon's Big Spring Sale MacBook deals as the sale continues into next week, so check back if nothing catches your eye just yet. Note: Deals marked with a 🔥 have dropped to a record-low price. Deals with a strikethrough are no longer available at the time of writing.

The M4 MacBook Air may be a last-gen laptop, but it's still an incredibly capable ultraportable. (In our testing, it proved much faster than much pricier Windows laptops.) It has the same 12MP Center Stage webcam, Liquid Retina display, and 18-hour battery life as its new M5 counterpart, which just offers slightly faster performance and newer wireless connectivity. This 15-inch configuration with 16GB of memory and 512GB of storage has never been cheaper.

Nine bucks off barely counts as a discount, but this is the best MacBook Neo deal I've seen outside of the Apple Store itself. (You can get $100 off there, but only if you're a college student, a parent of one, or school faculty.) This colorful little laptop has the same premium aluminum build as any other MacBook, and it boasts incredibly impressive single-core performance; in basic everyday tasks like web browsing, it's just as fast as an M4 MacBook Air. This particular model comes with Touch ID.

A MacBook Pro has more ports and a brighter, smoother display than a MacBook Air. It's also better at handling heavier workloads (like video editing) over a long period of time since it has fans. I recommend it as an upgrade pick for power users like content creators and developers. This current-gen M5 model is well future-proofed with 24GB of RAM and 1TB of storage. It's only $50 away from its record-low price from December.

Another configuration with an older, but more powerful M4 Pro chip is still in stock at the same price, though it comes with half the storage.

Every Excel spreadsheet eventually starts to rot. If your workbook relies on ancient file formats, hard-coded values, and formulas that look like massive, multi-line blocks of text, you're running legacy code that's slowing you down. And if you don't future-proof it, it's a ticking time bomb. Here's how to spot the rot and modernize your datasets.

Samsung leads the world in making phones with screens that fold. Long before that, there was a time Samsung made a phone shaped like a point-and-shoot camera. There was also an even weirder time, when Samsung made a phone that was a projector—the Galaxy Beam. The early 2010s were not quite the right time for this phone. 2026 is.

Navigating the launch of Perfect Order has been tricky for Pokémon TCG collectors, with prices fluctuating wildly. With that in mind, we're delighted to see Perfect Order Booster Bundles back in stock at a competitive price on Amazon.

It's important to note that this Amazon price is not down to market price. That has been falling steadily over the last few weeks. Does this mean the Amazon price will continue to drop? It doesn't work like that. Anything close to market value is a good deal on Amazon.

The Perfect Order expansion features fan-favorites like Mega Zygarde ex, Mega Clefable ex, and Mega Starmie ex. Now that the set has officially released, we expect prices to finally stabilize.

The best thing about working with the terminal is just how efficient it can be. Imagine if someone gave you a thousand documents and told you to replace specific patterns of text inside those files. You could spend days opening those files in an editor and manually replacing the text inside them. Or you could run a single "sed" command and be done in a few seconds. It genuinely feels like a superpower the more I learn about it and practice it. Here are 6 things I learned that made the terminal less frustrating for me and sped things up at the same time.

The settings you use in your 3D printer’s slicer can massively influence the quality of your print. If you’re having trouble with failed prints, underwhelming print quality, or prints that are weaker than you expected, you should consider changing a few of these settings.

When Amazon drops its latest sale event — such as the Big Spring Sale, which is live through March 31 — it's the perfect time to upgrade your gaming setup.

Gaming is a pricey hobby but there’s no substitute for high-spec, high-performance hardware. It takes the gaming experience to a whole other level and could make the marginal difference between success and failure. Arguably, the monitor is the most crucial of all hardware. So if you’re upgrading, you want the right model — and for the right price. That being the case, we’re recommending this deal on the Samsung 40-inch G7.

Thanks to the Big Spring Sale, the Samsung 40-inch G7 Gaming Monitor is currently priced at $699.99, a massive drop of 42%. This curved monitor is usually priced at $1,199.99, so you’re saving $500 in total.

Samsung are one of the very best when it comes to TVs and monitors, and this model is no exception. A mid-sized monitor, it has an impressively fast refresh rate on 180Hz and a 1ms response time — that means silky smooth gameplay — plus built in gaming spec such as AMD FreeSync Premium Pro. The real star of the show, however, is its ultrawide curved display, which delivers a WUHD resolution (5120 x 2160). Even at a modest 40 inches — ideal for more compact gaming stations — it’s fully immersive.

Don't miss your chance to save $500 on the Samsung 40-inch G7 Gaming Monitor as part of the Amazon Big Spring Sale. Now just $699.99 for a limited time.

A sentiment long repeated in the computing space is that you should have a separate SSD for your OS and important apps, and a second drive for, well, everything else. But many people don't stop to think about why, and what the exact role of that secondary drive should even be.

Even though most Linux distros don't require as much time in the terminal as they used to, eventually, it is going to come up. If you're doing anything remotely, executing a long task, or even just multitasking, the default tools may not be enough. That is where tmux comes in.

We can’t recommend the Samsung S95F 65-Inch OLED TV enough. Samsung is among the very best names when it comes to dazzling smart TVs, and this one’s an absolute whopper — 65 inches of OLED 4K magnificence with access to all your favorite streaming platforms via an easy-to-navigate Tizen operating system and AI upscaling.

It’s also stacked with spec for gamers — including a 165Hz refresh rate — and boasts Object Tracking Sound+, a smart audio technology that emits sound from where the action is happening on the screen. So the sound actually travels with the action. Elsewhere in the features package, there’s an AI motion enhancer that smooths out finer details — particularly good for watching fast-paced sports.

Check out the Samsung S95F 65-Inch OLED TV while it's on offer at $2,197.99 — a saving of $800 in the Amazon Big Spring Sale.
