Visible on both Google Earth and Google Maps, the updated satellite images of Gaza show destruction mostly in the area around the Beit Hanoun neighborhood in the north. Though recently added, the images date back to October and November 2023, meaning Google still doesn't have current satellite mapping of Gaza.

The lack of up-to-date visuals on Google Earth is not unique to views of Gaza. From war-torn countries such as Ukraine to the central parts of busy mega cities like New York and London, satellite imagery is usually around two years old. Still, satellite companies have reportedly been delaying the release of their images from Gaza, with a Semafor investigation from late 2024 describing restricted access to visuals of the Gaza Strip from satellite imagery company Planet Labs, which supplies Google.

Up until 2020, the 1997 Kyl-Bingaman Amendment to the U.S. National Defense Authorization Act restricted American companies from publishing satellite images from over Israel and occupied Palestine with resolution higher than two meters per pixel. In June 2020, the U.S. Commercial Remote Sensing Regulatory Affairs Office began allowing commercial satellite companies to produce higher quality images, but the current satellite photos don't come close to communicating the realities on the ground.

Not knowing what remains of their lives in northern Gaza, displaced Palestinians are now returning to their homes and searching fort their loved ones for the first time after the start of the 15-month war. As part of the first phase of the ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas, Israel allowed the first crossing point in central Gaza to open after Hamas agreed to release Israeli civilian Arbel Yehoud. The temporary truce is meant to last for 42 days, and it is still uncertain whether there will be a deal permanently ending hostilities. Recently Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who has been issued an arrest warning from the International Criminal Court for alleged war crimes, became the first foreign leader to visit the White House since the start of Donald Trump's second term as U.S. president. During a joint press conference, Trump proposed a U.S. takeover of Gaza, suggesting that Palestinians should flee Gaza to "countries of interest with a humanitarian heart."

Since Oct. 7, 2023, the death toll in Gaza has surpassed 46,000, according to Gaza's Health Ministry, though these numbers only account for people killed by bombs and bullets, and research published in The Lancet medical journal estimates that the actual death toll could be up to 40 percent higher. The report also says that 59.1 percent of those who died from dramatic injuries were women, children, and elderly people.

Consider YouTube TV a one-stop streaming platform when it comes to live TV. It includes over 100 live channels that you can either watch live or record with unlimited DVR privileges. It's a bit like standard cable used to be, but with a better selection.

YouTube TV includes channels like ESPN, ABC, NBC, HGTV, AMC, bravo, National Geographic, NFL network, and many more. The exact selection will depend on your location, and you can browse the full list of channels here.

YouTube TV is also pretty generous when it comes to sharing passwords. Unlike some streaming platforms, YouTube allows up to six individual accounts with unlimited DVR for all. You'll be able to stream on three devices at the same time with the base plan, which means three family members or housemates can be watching their own streams at the same time.

You're free to tune into YouTube TV from your phone, tablet, TV, gaming console, or computer, which gives you nice flexibility since we're almost always around at least one of these devices.

If you're in the mood for upping your viewing options for the next three weeks, jump on the free 21-day trial of YouTube TV. While the plan usually costs $82.99 per month, you might very well decide it's well worth it since it adds over 100 live channels to your viewing selection.

With the Uber and Waymo robotaxi launch next month, users in Austin can sign up now for priority access to the new AVs.

On Wednesday, Uber announced the addition of an Interest List on the app. This feature lets users indicate whether they'd like to receive updates from Uber and "increase their chances of being matched with a Waymo autonomous vehicle at launch by opting into the AV preference." The ride-hailing app also unveiled a co-branded Uber x Waymo vehicle, signaling their partnership, which brings Waymo autonomous vehicles exclusively to the Uber fleet.

In its Q4 2024 earnings call on Wednesday morning, CEO Dara Khosrowshahi said Uber plans to launch with Waymo "in Austin next month and Atlanta this summer." Uber has been investing heavily in the robotaxi market in the past few years. "I am more confident than ever that Uber is uniquely positioned to capture the $1 trillion+ opportunity that autonomy will unlock in the US alone," said Khosrowshahi about Uber's opportunities in the AV industry.

To date, Uber has partnered with 14 AV companies, which include manufacturers of consumer-facing AVs, sidewalk delivery robots, and autonomous freight trucks.

Austin residents: prepare to start seeing this everywhere. Credit: Uber

Soon, Austin residents calling an Uber might see a driverless car pulling up to greet them. Waymo Ubers will initially cover 37 square miles within Austin and expand coverage in the future. Pricing for Waymo AVs is the same rate as a traditional Uber (UberX, Uber Green, Uber Comfort, or Uber Comfort Electric), and when it arrives, you can unlock the vehicle with the Uber app and hop in.

To sign up for the Interest List, make sure you have the most up-to-date version of the Uber app. Then, go to Account > Settings > Ride Preferences > Autonomous vehicles > Join interest list.

Some Google Maps users can now access more ways to customize their car's icon while using the app.

As it stands, Google Maps only lets you choose one of four icons: an arrow, a red car, a yellow SUV, or a green truck. But, as 9to5Google spotted, some Android users are now prompted about "early access to customize your vehicle icon's style [and] color." When inputting driving directions, they get a notice about setting up "your ride, your way." 

There are a lot more options rolling out. There are five new cars: an off-road pickup, a sports car, a sedan, a hatchback, and an SUV. The are eight new colors, too: white, black, gray, red, blue, yellow, green, and purple.

SEE ALSO: Google Maps is adding new color options for your virtual vehicle icon

We at Mashable covered planned icon additions to Google Maps for iOS in November, but now the changes appear to be rolling out for Android. The new icons are available for Android users running Google Maps beta version 25.06.x.

If you're someone who uses their iPad a lot to work on your commute, or you use it as your main command center instead of a laptop or desktop, you know the struggle of typing onscreen. If you add a mouse or keyboard to the mix, however, you can use your iPad just like a MacBook, and it's easy to outfit your tablet with everything you need. You just need to wait for the right sale — and it's here.

As of Feb. 5, get an Apple Magic Keyboard for $79 at Amazon, which is $20 off its usual price of $99. That's a 20% discount. This price applies to the Lightning version of the keyboard, and not the newer USB-C version, but it's still very much worth the purchase as it connects to your iPad via Bluetooth.

You can use this keyboard with your iPad, Mac, or iPhone, so you can have a physical keyboard to write out everything you need to without having to rely on lightning fast fingers on a touchscreen. It comes with a long-lasting battery as well, so you get about a month's worth of long-term usage without having to charge.

It's made to feel like "magic" in how easy it is to connect, so you'll be off to the races when you turn it on in no time. It's a full-size keyboard without a numpad, so it's everything you need to communicate, write, or just get things done faster. If you need a little bit of an enhancement for your Mac or your iPhone or iPad, this is a good option.

Microsoft's next big event is officially on the calendar.

The 2025 edition of Microsoft Build was confirmed by the company this week, or more specifically, the dates when it will happen were confirmed. According to Microsoft's website, the developer-focused conference kicks off on May 19 and ends on May 22. It will take place in Seattle.

While Microsoft could and might announce new hardware at its Build keynote, you should really expect a heavy emphasis on artificial intelligence.

At Build 2024, AI integrations for apps like Teams were the primary focus, with hardware decidedly taking a backseat. There's no guarantee Build 2025 will be exactly the same, but given everything we've seen from other tech companies recently, don't be shocked if this is a very AI-centric event.

Our favorite iPad for most people, the M2 iPad Air can serve as a daily driver for streaming and scrolling or double as a laptop, thanks to the M2 chip's insane processing power. In our Geekbench 6 tests, it actually scored on par with the M2 MacBook Air. Aesthetically, not much changed from the previous generation, but internally it's a powerhouse that "delivers impressive performance and noteworthy battery life that will keep creatives, students, and on-the-go busy bees away from the imprisonment of charging cables and wall outlets," according to Mashable's former Tech Editor Kim Gedeon. As of Feb. 5, you can score the base model with 128GB of storage and WiFi connectivity for a new record low price of $689 (down from $799). That price only applies to the space gray model, though; if you prefer a different color, it'll cost you $699.99.

As of Feb. 5, the 13-inch M2 Apple iPad Air (128GB, Space Gray) is on sale for $689 at Amazon, down from the usual price of $799. That's a 14% discount that takes $110 off the list price. It's also the lowest price we've ever spotted at Amazon. Beware this tablet might come with delayed shipped, with dates going into the beginning of March for some areas.

When it comes to shopping for the best iPads, Mashable ranks the M2 iPad Air as the best option for most people. "It will be your new go-to device for streaming, reading, or creative projects. And if you plan on using your tablet as a substitute for a laptop, it'll work for that, too," explains Mashable Shopping Reporter Samantha Mangino.

While the M2 version the iPad Air is no longer the thinnest (that award now goes to the M4 iPad Pro), it still packs in the features for the price. In Mashable's testing, the M2 iPad Air got over 13 hours of battery life.

The 13-display uses Liquid Retina for an impressive screen experience, meaning it'll be great for streaming your shows while cozy on the couch.

But since it's compatible with both the Magic Keyboard and the Apple Pencil, you'll be able to use the iPad Air as a mobile work station instead of carting your laptop around. That means your carry-on bag with likely weigh much less and have much more space for important stuff like an extra sweater.

Since it's down to its lowest price ever of $689, consider snagging the M2 Apple iPad Air as gift to yourself for making it through January. Since there's no telling when the price will head back to the normal $799, it's best to jump on this one as soon as possible.

The child poisonings of Corby, Northamptonshire, described by the Guardian as "the worst child-poisoning case since thalidomide," lie at the heart of Toxic Town, a new four-part Netflix drama with a first look trailer out today.

Starring Doctor Who's Jodie Whittaker, Sex Education's Aimee Lou Wood, The Diplomat's Rory Kinnear, Bridgerton's Claudia Jessie, and Trainspotting screen legend Robert Carlyle, Toxic Town traces the discovery and long legal battle led by the families, primarily mothers, of children born with deformities caused by toxic dust from Corby's former steelworks. In 2010, Corby Borough Council was found negligent for its botched removal of waste from the British Steel factory, closed in 1979.

Written by Jack Thorne (Enola Holmes, His Dark Materials, Stranger Things: The First Shadow), the limited series is a co-production between Netflix and Broke & Bones — owned by Black Mirror creators Charlie Brooker and Annabel Jones.

Toxic Town is streaming on Netflix from Feb. 27.

It's been three years since we've had a Jurassic movie, when the Jurassic World trilogy concluded with the reunion of the original cast and the long-awaited (I said LONG-AWAITED) arrival of Dimetrodon in the franchise.

Set five years after Jurassic World Dominion, Jurassic World Rebirth sees an extraction team (Scarlett Johansson, Jonathan Bailey, Mahershala Ali, and Rupert Friend) sent to the original research facility for Jurassic Park to get that all-important dino DNA.

Directed by Gareth Edwards (Godzilla, Rogue One) and written by Jurassic Park's original screenwriter David Koepp, Jurassic World Rebirth looks to the dinosaurs who "were too dangerous for the original park." Hell yeah.

Jurassic World Rebirth hits cinemas July 2.

We rank these headphones as the best for bass lovers in our roundup of the best noise-canceling headphones. This is because, "The headphones have a dedicated ULT button that lets you bump up the bass on demand. The 40-millimeter driver keeps it sounding clear and not crispy, making these headphones a worthy competitor to the WH-1000XM5s."
