A couple of major TV brands are now at the center of a class-action lawsuit.

A plaintiff named Terri Else proposed a class-action suit in California against TCL and Roku, per CNET. The specific accusation here is that Roku and TCL push software updates to their TVs that make the devices defective without any kind of a fix.

Roku has denied the claims in Else's complaint.

While Roku is primarily known as a manufacturer of streaming devices, it does manufacture its own TVs under the Roku Select and Roku Plus names, while also providing the underlying smart TV operating system for several models of TCL TVs. This lawsuit calls out Roku Select, Roku Plus, and any TCL TV in the 3, 4, 5, or 6 series running Roku OS.

Else accused TCL of selling her a TV that became defective a few years after purchase in 2018, before it eventually stopped working entirely in 2023. According to Else, TCL would not cover whatever was happening to the TV under its warranty. What's worse, Else says, is that the next TV she bought also allegedly stopped working within a year.

The complaint claims that "Roku's software updates are repetitively defective, materially impairing the functionality of Roku Products, rendering many consumers' televisions either entirely unusable ("bricked"), blacked out, or otherwise substantially degraded in terms of device performance." The complaint specifically accuses Roku software updates of causing "screen black outs, loss of video, [and] the screen flashing on and off," among other problems.

Roku is a very popular brand in the U.S., and you don't have to look far on places like Reddit to find complaints about TVs from either Roku or TCL being bricked after software updates.

That said, a Roku spokesperson said to CNET that these claims are "meritless." Given that this is still just a proposed class-action lawsuit, there's still a chance that this complaint doesn't go anywhere.

Top brands are emptying out their 2025 TV reserves to make room for the latest and greatest models, which means it's the perfect time to score a great TV deal. And if you're specifically seeking a TV with Art Mode, your search ends here. The Hisense Canvas TV — Samsung The Frame's arch nemesis — is on sale for over $350 off.

As of May 6, the 55-inch version of the Hisense Canvas S7N QLED 4K TV is down to just $647.99 at Amazon for a savings of 35%. That's its second-best price ever and only $48 away from its all-time low. Best Buy also has the same TV on sale for just $2 more for anyone who prefers not to shop at Amazon.

Like Samsung The Frame, Hisense's Canvas TV is a QLED display treated with an anti-glare, hi-matte finish to display curated artwork (or your own pictures). It comes with a teak wood magnetic frame (more options sold separately) and an ultra-slim wall mount that lies flush to make the TV itself look as close as possible to framed artwork.

"Despite often being minimized to a Frame dupe, the Hisense Canvas is actually a better value than The Frame in a lot of ways," Mashable TV expert Leah Stodart writes, noting its higher refresh rate (144Hz versus 120Hz) and two HDMI 2.1 ports (versus one). It features Google TV's interface, which is much more intuitive and responsive than the Samsung interface. Not to mention, Samsung charges a monthly fee to access artwork, whereas Hisense's digital art library is free.

If an art TV is on your wishlist, this is the one to buy. While the 55-inch model offers the biggest discount, other sizes are also on sale to suit your space.

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're a gamer, like a serious gamer, then you're probably well aware that *real* gaming equipment comes with a hefty price tag. The good news? Amazon randomly discounts monitors, keyboards, and other accessories almost every day. The hard part is finding the good stuff, which is exactly why I'm here.

As of May 6, you can get the Asus ROG Strix 32-inch 4K OLED gaming monitor for $996.25 at Amazon, down from $1,099. That's a 9% discount, or $102.75 in savings. And while a measly 9% doesn't sound like much, that's still a Benjamin back in your pocket. Also, to put things in perspective, the all-time low for this monitor is $909, which it hit just two weeks ago.

It has a 32-inch TrueBlack Glossy WOLED display, which is basically two monitors in one thanks to a dual-mode feature that lets you switch between 4K at 240Hz and FHD at 480Hz. It also features a 0.03ms response time, G-SYNC compatibility for smooth gameplay, and a built-in OLED Care Pro system with a proximity sensor that auto-dims the screen when you step away to prevent burn-in.

Tinder's revenue and paying users have been trending down in recent years, but the most recent earnings report suggests that it could be making a comeback.

Tinder's parent company, Match Group, released its Q1 2026 earnings report yesterday, and for the first time in several quarters, there's good news for the dating app — kinda. Monthly average user trends were down seven percent year-over-year, which doesn't sound stellar, but it was the slowest rate of decline in 31 months, according to Match Group's press release.

SEE ALSO: Tinder responds to viral video about tricking facial scan

The supplemental materials also show that Tinder's direct revenue is up in Q1 2026 compared to Q1 2025, but it's down compared to the rest of 2025.

New user registrations returned to year-over-year growth for Tinder, which may be due to the app's push for something new. In March, Tinder rolled out a host of new features, including AI matchmaking service Chemistry, and Astrology and Music Modes.

"Tinder works better today than it did before. Our product changes are resonating with Gen Z and driving improvements in leading indicators, which is a clear signal that Tinder's ecosystem is strengthening," Match Group and Tinder CEO Spencer Rascoff said in the press release.

SEE ALSO: The best dating apps of 2026

Last month, Rascoff told the Financial Times that Tinder wants more women on the app, which is currently skewed male. He's also more interested in increasing the total number of people on the app, rather than just paid users.

Hinge, meanwhile, continues to make money for Match Group, with a 28 percent increase in year-over-year direct revenue growth. Paying users are also up 15 percent compared to this time last year. Looking at the supplemental materials of Match Group's earnings, Hinge is only trending upward.

"Hinge delivered another strong quarter and launched category-first features for highly intentioned daters that are improving outcomes," said Rascoff.

The earnings report comes a week after Match announced a $100 million investment in Sniffies, a gay hookup app, signaling Match's interest in diversifying its offerings while dominating the dating app space.

When you put your car into reverse, it's important that the rearview camera displays what's happening behind you right now, not a while ago. Sadly, a pretty high number of Teslas are at danger of failing on that simple task.

The National ​Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) said on Wednesday that Tesla is recalling 218,868 vehicles ​in the U.S. (via Reuters). The issue is as follows: when the car is put into reverse, the rearview camera display might be delayed "for up to 11 seconds."

SEE ALSO: Tesla says FSD Lite is coming to older cars globally, but timing is uncertain

The recall covers a number of Model 3, Model Y, Model ‌S, ⁠and Model X vehicles.

Tesla has already fixed the issue via an over-the-air software update, so owners needn't do anything aside from accepting the update.

Interestingly, this is not the first time Tesla has recalled vehicles over rearview camera issues. In 2024, the company recalled nearly 200,000 Model S, Model Y, and Model X vehicles over a bug that could prevent the rearview camera image from displaying at all.

Focusing on a flock determined to crack the case of their slain shepherd, Sheep Detectives is a new movie that's a ton of fun. To celebrate its theatrical release, Entertainment Editor Kristy Puchko sat down with three of the film's stars, Hugh Jackman, Chris O'Dowd, and Nicholas Braun, to play Mashable's Pop Mash.

SEE ALSO: 'The Sheep Detectives' review: Deeply silly sleuth story is much smarter than it needed to be

Puchko provides Jackman, O'Dowd, and Braun with a movie description that actually pulls details from two separate films. What these two movies have in common is one word in their titles; when the movies are combined, you get a new mash-up title.

For example: Nicolas Cage plays a lovestruck heavenly creature in this drama, wherein he helps an L.A. baseball team to victory. 

The answer: City of Angels in the Outfield.

For Sheep Detectives, Puchko customized the clues so that at least one title in each description stars Jackman, O'Dowd, or Braun.

Here's the Pop Mash puzzles they faced:

• This Wallace & Gromit spinoff focuses on a fluffy farm animal who leads a murder investigation when his beloved shepherd turns up dead. 

• In this wild comedy, Steve Martin stars as the titular patriarch, who's going mad as his daughter — played by Kristen Wiig — grapples with how to be the maid of honor at her best friend's wedding. Chris O'Dowd co-stars as a kindly cop. 

• Nicolas Braun plays Jim Henson and Andy Kaufman in this showbiz dramedy about what happens when zombies invade a comedy sketch show. George Romero directs. 

• Featuring songs like "This Is Me," this rousing musical stars Hugh Jackman as a circus founder who wears a red cape as he battles for Metropolis as a superhero. Michael Shannon co-stars as the villainous General Zod.

• Ben Stiller and Cameron Diaz fall in love in this wacky rom-com about a magical English nanny who comes back to visit a family that once saw her fly away with her umbrella. 

• Hugh Jackman and Kate Hudson play a Neil Diamond cover band in this David Lynch neo-noir, where Dennis Hopper is a deranged gangster who huffs poppers. 

• A school for superpowered teenagers could be where teen Will Stronghold finds his inner hero. But how will he handle it when a vengeance-seeking cowboy challenges him to a shoot-out at 12 PM? 

• In this comedy anthology, Hugh Jackman plays a man who has balls hanging below his chin, while Tom Selleck, Steve Guttenberg, and Ted Danson play a trio of eligible bachelors who are overwhelmed by the duties of caring for an infant. 

• The god of Thunder returned for this critically panned sequel, which earned an Oscar nomination for John Lithgow's performance of a transgender ex-footballer. 

• This Pixar movie about a young girl who can transform into a big fluffy animal surprised audiences and critics with its mature subject matter. Written and directed by Kevin Smith, this film veers into the story of a Christian cult, armed with hot girls and lots of guns.

How many of these did you get right? Were you faster than the sharp minds of Sheep Detectives?

Sheep Detectives opens in theaters on May 8.

Donald Trump hosted a group of children in the Oval Office for a physical fitness event on Tuesday, reviving the Presidential Physical Fitness Award, and the result was as ridiculous as you'd expect.

In the Daily Show clip above, host Desi Lydic plays footage of the president telling the assembled kids about "the power of a nuclear weapon" before adding "you might be too young for this."

"No, they're not too young, I'm sure they've already seen the Paw Patrol episode where they drop a ballistic missile on Humdinger," says Lydic. "How are you talking about nuclear war in front of children? You kids have seen Oppenheimer, right?"

Lydic goes on to play a montage of some of the other topics Trump discussed with the young cohort, including the "rigged election", "open borders", and "the Dow".

"Mom, could you pick me up from the White House?" says Lydic. "The president's trauma dumping on me again."

Interrupting an actor's vocal warm-up is a risky move, especially when they're about to host SNL UK.

Ted Lasso star and West End icon Hannah Waddingham knows a thing or two about pre-show exercises, schooling cast members Annabel Marlow and George Fouracres in the video above.

Set to host the UK version of Saturday Night Live on May 9 with musical guest Myles Smith, Waddingham takes her warm-up extremely seriously, even if it's just throwing words together and dramatically sounding them out like "big beefy boys need big beefy toys."

It's the penultimate episode of SNL UK Season 1, the finale of which will be hosted by Doctor Who‘s Ncuti Gatwa on May 16, with musical guest Holly Humberstone. The first run of the spinoff has seen previous hosts Tina Fey, Jamie Dornan, Riz Ahmed, Jack Whitehall, Nicola Coughlan, and Aimee Lou Wood.

Season 2 is yet to be announced.

AMD FreeSync Premium Pro support is also included for smoother performance during fast-moving scenes, while DisplayHDR 1000, 1000-nit peak brightness, and a 1,000,000:1 contrast ratio help bring extra depth to bright highlights and dark corners.

Two business days after the monitor ships, you’ll receive an email with a redeemable code for the hit Capcom horror game Resident Evil Requiem. If you’re a fan of the long-running horror franchise, this a great first test for your visual upgrade. 

For any other games you feel like playing — be it a round of Fortnite or trying out Crimson Desert — the Odyssey G9 monitor’s setup-focused touches are worth noting. CoreSync and Core Lighting+ add reactive lighting behind the display, while the ergonomic stand lets you swivel, tilt, and adjust the height. Picture-by-Picture, Picture-in-Picture, Eye Saver Mode, and Auto Source Switch+ round out this unit for anyone using this as both a gaming screen and productivity hub. 

If you’re open to spending a bit less on a monitor that’s slightly smaller, the 34-inch Alienware curved gaming monitor is on sale for just under $300. What’s more, the LG 27-inch UltraGear GX7 is over $300 off. 

Back in 2020, in what's still one of the most shocking sporting upsets of the decade so far, Stephen Colbert managed to claim victory over Barack Obama in a game of "wastepaper basketball" — and now they're having a rematch.

In the clip above, after a tour and interview in the Obama Presidential Center in Chicago, the two talk smack while throwing their little crumpled balls of paper at a distant trash can. The end result? A match that's not all that closely fought.

We won't tell you who wins, but we will say there's a trophy involved.

The Magic: The Gathering trading card game is heading back to Middle-Earth, and this time Bilbo Baggins is getting his own turn at the table. The Hobbit crossover doesn’t launch until Aug. 14, but preorders are already live and Amazon has the most sensible price right now. 

As of May 6, the Magic: The Gathering The Hobbit Bundle is up for preorder at Amazon for $69.99, which lines up exactly with the official bundle MSRP. It’s also being sold and shipped by Amazon, with Amazon’s preorder price guarantee attached. That means you won't pay more if the price shifts before launch. 

TCGplayer, meanwhile, seems to be preparing for official stock to sell out with higher listing prices. Its lowest listing is currently $117.73 with shipping included, while the listed median is hovering around $117.76. That makes Amazon the obvious first stop if you’re trying to lock in the new set without paying nearly $50 over retail price.

An icy world, perhaps just 300 miles wide and far beyond Pluto, may have air, challenging the assumption that small space objects can't hold onto an atmosphere.

This world, known as 2002 XV93, orbits in a distant region sprinkled with leftover rubble from our solar system's early planet-building days. Astronomers often study this ancient detritus, referred to as Trans-Neptunian Objects, by waiting for remnants to pass in front of stars. During rare alignments, researchers can measure how the starlight changes to learn about an object's size and features, such as rings or debris.

What scientists saw instead for this object was startling. On Jan. 10, 2024, the little object eclipsed a faint star — a star so anonymous it doesn't even have a common name. But that event, seen from East Asia, revealed thin air on 2002 XV93.

Typically, if an object has no atmosphere, the background starlight disappears abruptly as the object blocks it. Instead, telescopes recorded a gradual fading out and in of the light at the beginning and end of the event — a sign that an atmosphere had bent or scattered it.

"Our findings suggest that a fraction of distant icy minor planets can exhibit atmospheres," the researchers wrote in a new paper published in Nature Astronomy.

The researchers estimated that an extremely thin atmosphere, with a surface pressure between about 100 and 200 nanobars, surrounds the object. That level is far thinner than Pluto's atmosphere but stronger than anything previously measured around similar small bodies in the outer solar system.

In a post on X, lead author Ko Arimatsu said this is the first detection of an atmosphere for a Trans-Neptunian Object beyond Pluto. It's not known yet what gases are in the world's air, but methane, nitrogen, or carbon monoxide are the team's best guesses, based on their observations.

The discovery shocked scientists because astronomical models indicate small, distant objects should not be able to maintain an atmosphere — at least not for very long. Under weak gravity, gases tend to escape into space, meaning any atmosphere would likely dissipate within a few hundred to a few thousand years.

That may suggest the researchers caught a temporary atmosphere for the object at just the right time. 

The authors proffer a few scenarios for how 2002 XV93's atmosphere could have formed. One possibility is that a comet or asteroid could have crashed into the world recently, releasing trapped gases. Another possibility is that cold volcanoes could have vented gases instead of lava, or internal heat or chemistry could have pushed gases to the surface. 

If the air fades over time, it likely came from a collision. If it continues or changes in cycles, that may mean internal mechanisms are responsible. The team favors the former explanation over the latter.

Scientists say they'll need to study the object more to solve the mystery. They already have James Webb Space Telescope observations of the target that show no indication of frozen material that could have turned into gas.
