Brick just updated its app to highlight a feature that makes me love this little gadget even more.

Imagine this nightmare: You've done your evening skincare, brushed your teeth, and tucked yourself into bed only to realize you left on a lamp across the room. That's the horror I feel when I forget to Brick my phone before bed and have to get up, walk to the kitchen, and tap it against my Brick in another room.

But when this happened last night, I noticed a change in the Brick app. Now, the button on the home page of the Brick app says "Tap or hold to Brick." So, I held the button and my phone was Bricked — I didn't even need to get out of bed.

Brick, the screen-time device that uses a physical NFC tag to block apps on your phone, cut my screen time in half. Plus, multiple people can use it, meaning my wife and I can share one. The Brick has become so popular that "Bricking" is now a verb.

Hold to lock: What's changed with the Brick? Now, you have the choice Brick your phone remotely. Credit: Samantha Mangino / Mashable

Previously, you had to tap your phone against the Brick to lock it. Now, you have a second option. You can still tap to lock, or you can just hold the button down within the app, and it will lock. This means when you're on the go and need to focus, you can remotely Brick your phone.

I reached out to Brick, and a spokesperson said that while this feature has always been available, the company updated the app to make this functionality more obvious to users. The change was necessary, I think. Several Mashable staffers are devoted Brick users, and we weren't aware of this feature previously.

Now you can Brick your phone without physically tapping it against a Brick. Credit: Samantha Mangino / Mashable

However, this doesn't change how you unlock your phone when it's Bricked. To Unbrick your phone, you still have to physically tap it against your Brick. Not surprising because the alternative would make Brick no different from any other screen time app out there.

So with this update, the only thing to be careful of is locking your phone when you're away from it and getting locked out of an important app. Luckily, you can always use one of your five emergency unbricks.

Airline prices are high, and if you're not planning to fly this summer, that's understandable. But there's a different option to take to the skies, and it probably costs much less than those domestic flights you were considering. Check out this drone deal at Amazon that'll be a fun summer hobby.

As of May 14, the DJI Mini 4K drone is on sale at Amazon for $209 with the on-page coupon, down from the list price of $299. That's a 30% discount and the lowest we've seen from Amazon.

The DJI Mini 4K drone is a great option for both beginners and expert drone pilots who are looking for something lightweight and exceptionally portable. The drone can easily fold up and fit into the palm of your hand and it weighs under 249 grams.

Like the name indicates, this DJI model captures 4K UHD footage and it can fly for up to 31 minutes before needing to recharge. Video transmission is still possible from a distance of up to 10 kilometers away, or about six miles.

Since summer weather can be unpredictable, the DJI Mini 4K comes with a reassuring level 5 wind-resistance which measures out to winds up to about 24 miles per hour. DJI also mentions the brushless motors help with power and the drone can take off from altitudes as high as 4,000 meters which is over 13,000 feet.

For beginners, this DJI model has one-tap takeoff and landing, stable hovering, and a GPS-powered return-to-home command.

Before this on-page coupon at Amazon disappears, snag the DJI Mini 4K on sale for $209. Since this is the lowest we've seen, there's not much reason to wait.

Apple AirDrop enables users to quickly share photos, videos, and other files to nearby users. Android has Quick Share to provide similar functionality to its users.

Last year, Google announced during the Pixel 10 series launch that its latest Android smartphones would be able to work with AirDrop through Quick Share. This basically allowed users to take advantage of these file-sharing features cross-platform. Android phones, for example, could now share photos and videos to iPhones in the same way iPhones were able to share between each other via AirDrop.

Since then, Google has been slowly rolling out AirDrop through Quick Share to even more Android devices — even Android smartphones by third parties such as Samsung. And, just this week, Google launched the feature on a slew of new devices.

Here's the current list of every device that currently has AirDrop enabled.

If you have a tech-forward household, you probably have a few items that make household chores much easier: A robot vacuum, a smart composter, and a smart litter box for the cat are all items that do the chores for you. But until fairly recently, we've been stuck with the task of manually mowing the lawn. This is changing, and we now have powerful robot lawn mowers that can take care of this chore.

If you're looking to offload the task, check out today's deal at Amazon.

As of May 14, the Segway Navimow i110N robot lawn mower is on sale for $849 at Amazon, down from the list price at Segway of $1,099. That's a 23% discount that takes $250 off the price. It's a new record-low price at Amazon, according to camelcamelcamel.

If the lawn gets out of control with spring and summer growth, there's an easy way to keep it under control. The Segway Navimow robot lawn mower is like a robot vacuum but for your lawn. It'll map the area and then set off on a mowing adventure according to your desired schedule. You can also select the length you'd like between 2 and 3.6 inches.

There's no need to worry about the robot lawn mower bumping into the fence or running over the dog toys left in the yard. The Segway uses obstacle avoidance for over 150 common items it could encounter while mowing.

From the app, you can also set a multi-zone schedule. This will allow you to keep the area near the barbecue cut more frequently than the side yard which gets less use. It comes with an IP66 dust and waterproof rating protecting it from summer splashes. Segway recommends this model for lawns that measure about 0.25 acres.

If you're not in the mood to spend the summer mowing the lawn, get the help of the Segway Navimow i110N robot lawn mower. It's on sale at Amazon for under $850 for a limited time.

You can easily track who your kids are talking to and block any unwanted contacts, schedule reminders for chores and other tasks, set timers for playtime and screen time, input emergency information, and much more. It even comes with a one-year battery life, so you won't need to constantly worry about plugging it in. Once the battery dies, it can simply be replaced.

On Elon Musk's X, Bookmarks are a popular way for users to keep track of posts they want to refer back to at a later time.

However, the Bookmarks feature requires users to actively pick what posts they want to bookmark when they come across it. Then, those posts are saved to the Bookmarks tab.

In a new update that's slowly rolling out to users, X is renaming the Bookmarks tab to History. With that change, users will not only see what posts they've bookmarked, but they'll also see an archive of articles and videos that they've read and watched on the platform.

X head of product Nikita Bier announced the product change this week in a post. 

Mashable 101 Fan Fave: Vote for your favorite creator today!

"We're rolling out a new History tab on iOS to help you keep track of all your favorite content on X," Bier said. "Bookmarks, Long Videos, Articles and Likes will live here — so you can always come back and continue watching or reading. The Timeline moves fast, so we hope this creates a better place for catching up on long-form content."

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

The History feature is currently only available on X for iOS. History appears to work much like a web browser's history feature does. As Bier said, users will be able to see bookmarks, likes, and their article and video history within the History tab. 

With the closure of popular read-later apps like last year's sunsetting of Pocket, it does seem like such a move makes sense for specific platforms to implement. Facebook, for example, has long let users view their activity within the mobile app. This includes videos watched and links clicked through the platform and viewed within the Facebook app.

Some X users have reportedly seen their Bookmarks tab updated to History already. Others are still waiting for the update to roll out to their account.

SAVE $1,102: As of May 14, the Samsung 65-inch S90F OLED 4K TV is on sale for $1,397.99 at Amazon. That's over $1,000 off its list price of $2,499.99.

Whether you're upgrading to a bigger TV or replacing an existing model, opting for a 2025 model over a brand-new 2026 model can save you over $1,000. And because tech upgrades are mostly iterative these days, you won't be missing out on much. For instance, you can now get the excellent Samsung S90F — the TV Mashable's sister site CNET dubbed "the best OLED TV for most users" — for a literal fraction of its original cost.

The 65-inch Samsung S90F OLED TV originally retailed for $2,499.99 (as seen on Samsung), but now that the 2026 models have hit shelves, the price is down to only $1,397.99. That's just over 44% or $1,102 in savings. To put it another way: you'll be getting a 65-inch model for less than what folks paid for the 48-inch S90F TV last year (which is originally $1,499.99).

We find that 65 inches is the sweet spot for most people and homes and the Samsung 65-inch S90F will really crank things up a notch. The OLED panel features deep black levels and rich colors, making it a stellar option for watching movies or live sports. The AI processor can even upscale older content to make it sparkle in 2026. There's also support for 144Hz VRR and lag times under 10ms, which CNET's reviewer says is "about as fast as a TV with this level of picture quality can get."

It's not quite as feature-packed as the step-up S95F (there's no glare-free coating or Dolby Vision HDR), but its excellent picture, high brightness levels, and quick response times make the S90F a better value in 2026 — particularly now that it's only $1,397.99.

Summer fun is nearly here. Soon, we'll be outside at the park until sunset, spending weekends at the beach, and relaxing with the best summer reads. With all that relaxation, there's simply no time for household chores. Instead of dealing with dust bunnies under the furniture, enlist the help of a robot vacuum to take care of the chore this summer. There's a great model on sale today at Amazon.

As of May 14, the Roborock Qrevo CurvX robot vacuum and mop is on sale for $899.98 at Amazon, marked down from the normal price of $1,499.99. That works out to a giant 40% discount and a saving of $600.01. This marks the lowest we've ever seen at Amazon.

What's better than a robot vacuum? A model that also mops. The Roborock Qrevo CurvX does both and with features that make it stand out in a sea of endless competitors. Roborock equipped this model with 22,000Pa suction to tackle dirt, hair, and other debris on carpet and hard flooring.

It comes with a 360-degree scanner to efficiently map your home and it has the brains the recognize 108 potential obstacles like the toys left behind or shoes. Plus, it can handle getting over thresholds that are up to four centimeters in height. Speaking of height, the robot vacuum itself it just a bit taller than three inches, so it's likely to fit well under furniture to tackle a whole-home cleaning session.

The Qrevo CurvX uses hot-water mopping to rid the kitchen floor of the toughest messes. It also uses hot water for cleaning the mop pads and hot air to get them dry as quickly as possible.

Since this is the lowest price we've ever spotted at Amazon for the Roborock Qrevo CurvX robot vacuum and mop, this might be your sign to make the upgrade. Your summer schedule will enjoy the extra free time.

OLED gaming monitors are becoming more affordable across top brands, and that includes Samsung’s popular Odyssey range .

As of May 14, Amazon has the Samsung 27-inch Odyssey OLED G6 (G61SH) gaming monitor on sale for $479.99, knocked down from its $599.99 list price. Now at its lowest-ever price (confirmed via price tracker camelcamelcamel), that’s 20% off and over $100 in savings on a screen built for players who care about speed just as much as picture quality.

With the 27-inch QD-OLED panel (QHD 2560 x 1440 resolution), you unlock some middle ground with sharper detail than 1080p without needing to splurge into the 4K price bracket. Samsung also gives this model a matte glare-free finish, so you’re not constantly fighting desk lamps, sunny windows, or whatever else is trying to ruin a late-night match.

For faster games like Fortnite, Rocket League, or Star Wars Battlefront II, the Odyssey OLED G6 reaches up to a 240Hz refresh rate with a seriously quick 0.03ms response time. That combination of specs should make shooters, racers, and competitive multiplayer titles feel much smoother as part of your new PC setup.

The added AMD FreeSync Premium helps reduce screen tearing and choppiness when said fast-paced gameplay is trying to balance too many on-screen assets at the same time.

Samsung also packs in HDR10, a 1,000,000:1 contrast ratio, and Pantone Validation, with support for more than 2,100 colors and over 110 skin tone shades. In layman’s terms, games should look vivid, shadowy scenes should actually have depth, and character details shouldn’t look washed out.

For anyone worried about OLED burn-in, this model includes Samsung OLED Safeguard features like a dynamic cooling system, thermal modulation, logo and taskbar detection, and a screen saver — with the three-year manufacturer warranty adding another level of reassurance.

The stand supporting your shiny new monitor features height adjustment, tilt, swivel, and pivot support, making it versatile for whatever sort of gaming night you have planned, be it ranked matches, cinematic single-player games, or even watching movies and TV shows on Netflix or Disney+.

If you’re browsing offers on all the big gaming brands right now, LG’s 27-inch OLED UltraGear is on sale for over $300 off — also its lowest-ever price. For more deals on Samsung monitors, the QHD Odyssey G5 is now only $159.99.

Bumble has announced a massive overhaul lately, but online daters aren't beelining to it.

On Monday, Axios posted its full interview with the dating app's founder and CEO, Whitney Wolfe Herd, where she discussed the already-announced news that Bumble is killing the swipe feature by the end of 2026. However, she also talked about Bumble's in-development AI dating assistant called Bee, also set for an end of year launch, which was announced back in the company's Q4 2025 earnings call.

Bumble's lean into an AI-powered product seems to be a long time coming, as Wolfe Herd commented back in May 2024 that she saw AI personas as the future of dating.

Mashable 101 Fan Fave: Vote for your favorite creator today.

However, people across social media got wind of Bumble's AI-forward plan, and they're not impressed. One TikTok user who met her partner on Bumble nearly two years ago said the app has "lost the plot" with its focus on AI. Another TikTokker said she gives up. Another still, a single woman, said she "cannot spend another moment in this f*cking hellscape."

Wolfe Herd posted a statement on her Instagram account on Tuesday to clarify a few things.

"A growing part of the tech world seems to believe human connection can be replicated, automated, or engineered," she wrote. "I believe the opposite, and at Bumble, we are building the opposite."

View this post on Instagram

Wolfe Herd said Bumble has "used AI for years to improve safety, reduce bad actors, and help people make better, more meaningful connections. But the next chapter of AI should not be about replacing human connection. It should be about strengthening it."

Clarifying that the future of Bumble is "not about automating love," the CEO stated that "the best AI should work quietly in the background so real people can show up fully in the foreground." She also promised "no AI openers, no AI-generated bios."

Bumble's approach is that AI should support people in showing up more authentically, not replace or speak for them, the company told Mashable. The team believes it's important that women have a seat at the table in how AI is applied, and ethical and responsible use is paramount to Wolfe Herd and Bumble.

SEE ALSO: All your Bumble questions, answered

Most commenters on Wolfe Herd's post weren't convinced by Bumble's AI-focused "future of connection." The top comment asked what the company is doing about combating deepfakes. Wolfe Herd responded, saying that Bumble has supported legislation to fight deepfakes and invests in safety across its product and policies. Bumble works with nonprofit Partnership on AI, a coalition committed to building a framework for the "responsible use of AI-generated media."

"From detection tools and identity protections to partnerships and legal reform, we believe protecting women online must evolve as quickly as the technology itself," she wrote.

Featured Video For You Is ChatGPT Changing the Way We Write?

Another commenter brought up Wolfe Herd's aforementioned comments about AI personas being the future of dating — at a Bloomberg Tech Summit in 2024, she said onstage, "There is a world where your dating concierge could go and date for you with other dating concierge...and then you don’t have to talk to 600 people." On Tuesday's Instagram post, Wolfe Herd called the years-old comment a "sound bite" where "people took a speculative thought experiment and turned it into a product announcement for some reason (click bait)."

"I was talking about the far outer edges of what AI could theoretically do someday, not saying Bumble planned to replace human dating with bots," she added. "In fact, the entire point was the opposite: using AI to reduce noise and help people get to real human connection faster."

Despite the outcry, Bumble is far from the only dating app to add AI features. Both Tinder and Hinge have, as well, with the former introducing an AI-powered matchmaker, Chemistry, and the latter adding AI features to help write better prompt responses and initial messages.

And at the same time, Bumble is also investing more into IRL events, suggesting that it knows there's an appetite for tech-free dating.

TL;DR: The Magic: The Gathering Foundations Play Booster Box is down to $129.99 at Amazon. This deals saves you 12% off its usual $146.95 list price.

The Foundations expansion is one of the most fun ways to get into Magic: The Gathering, and Amazon has now dropped the best deal to help you dive in for less.

As of May 14, Amazon has the Magic: The Gathering Foundations Play Booster Box on sale for $129.99, dropping it under both its usual Amazon price and the wider market rate. By comparison, TCGplayer currently lists the Foundations Play Booster Display with a market price of $135.80, and listings starting at $137.95 with shipping included. Walmart has the same box listed at $146.45 from a third-party seller.

The Foundations expansion is essentially designed to help you build a bigger Foundation with the Magic trading card game, as the name implies. The box includes 36 Play Boosters, with each pack containing 14 Magic trading cards and either a Token/Ad card or Art card. That all-around makes it great for drafting with friends, building out a collection, or just spending an evening ripping packs and hoping for something shiny.

Each Play Booster includes between one and four cards of Rare or higher rarity, plus a mix of Uncommons, Commons, and a Land card. There’s also one Traditional Foil card in every pack, with a Traditional Foil Land showing up in 20% of boosters. Borderless cards and Special Guest Mythic Rare cards are also possible pulls, which gives the box a bit more chase-card energy than a beginner-friendly set might suggest.

This probably isn’t as simple a starting point as a Jumpstart box, where you can shuffle two packs together and play immediately. Still, for players who want more flexibility, more packs, and better draft potential, Foundations Play Boosters are the better long-term buy.

Among other MTG expansions, there's also a price reduction on the Lorwyn Exclipsed Play Booster Box to only $119.95. Magic: The Gathering’s Marvel Spider-Man Gift Bundle is also on sale at Amazon.

It's hard to believe that foldables have been around for long enough (and gotten good enough) that I can use one that's totally fine and think to myself, "Eh, you can do better."

That's been my experience during early testing for the new Motorola Razr Fold. The $1,900 device has pretty much everything you'd want in a book-style foldable: it's reasonably comfortable in the hands, the displays are high quality, and it's got a battery that dwarfs the competition. But in actually using it, I've still found myself preferring the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 from a year ago, while also considering the upcoming, heavily rumored iPhone Fold.

Here's my takeaway from early testing: the foldable market is getting really crowded, and with such a high price, I'm not sure the Razr Fold has done enough to stand out against the competition just yet.

What I liked: It feels great in the hand, is easy to use, has killer displays, and boasts strong performance from the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 chipset.

What I didn't like: Not as thin as the Galaxy Z Fold 7, and like the competition, it has a steep price tag; my testing unit also experienced a battery issue.

Key specs:

• Processor: Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 chipset

• Battery: 6,000mAh

• Displays: 6.6-inch pOLED cover display (up to 165Hz refresh rate) / 8.1-inch LTPO OLED (up to 120Hz variable refresh rate) with HDR10+

• Cameras: 50MP wide, 50MP ultrawide, 50MP telephoto, 20MP inner camera, 32MP cover camera

• Charging: 80W charging, 50W wireless, reverse wireless charging

• AI tools: Google Gemini, Perplexity, Moto AI, Microsoft Copilot

• Brightness: 6,200 nits

• Price: $1,899.99

Last year, I fell in love with the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 primarily because of its form factor. It was easily the thinnest and lightest book-style foldable I'd used at the time, and now. It's a new measuring stick for this type of phone in my mind, and that's also the first place where the Razr Fold comes up just short.

To be more specific, Samsung's foldable last year weighed just 215g and measured in at a mere 4.2mm when unfolded and 8.9mm when folded. Motorola's device, on the other hand, weighs 243g and measures in at 4.5mm when unfolded and 9.89mm when folded. In the grand scheme of things, those aren't huge disparities, but having used both devices, you can definitely feel the difference.

The Razr Fold is noticeably heavier and a little more bulky, and in a world where Samsung has shown how thin book-style foldables can be, I'm not sure I can ever go back.

Having said all of that, this is still a reasonably comfortable phone to hold and use, especially compared to older, meatier foldables. Razr Fold's Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 chipset keeps everything running smoothly, with social media and streaming apps working pretty much flawlessly in my limited testing so far.

The 8.1-inch AMOLED inner display with a 120Hz refresh rate is also crisp and clear, as is the 6.6-inch outer display, which has a blistering fast 165Hz refresh rate. As with pretty much every other book-style foldable on the market, this is the best way to watch videos and read things on a phone right now.

While I haven't done a ton of stress testing with the multitasking features yet, they do work pretty intuitively. Like some other foldables in this category, there's a horizontal app toolbar along the bottom of the inner display. While running one app, you can simply drag another one from the toolbar up into the main display itself, choosing where you want it to go. You can go halfsies or you can even turn one app into a free-floating window that you can resize and reposition to your heart's content, while the other one stays open behind it.

This isn't especially groundbreaking, but it is useful and works well.

I still need more time with the Razr Fold before writing a full review, and part of that has to do with the phone's biggest potential edge over the competition: its battery.

The Razr Fold has a huge 6,000mAh battery inside it, significantly larger than the 4,400mAh cell inside my beloved Z Fold 7. If the Razr Fold can deliver notably longer battery life than other foldables, that could be a huge feather in its cap. Unfortunately, I am not in a position right now to judge that, as the review unit Motorola sent us has an issue where it will not charge correctly. I've been told this is not a common problem and Motorola is sending us a replacement, but this does mean that I simply can't analyze the battery right now.

One other potential advantage this phone has over something like the Z Fold 7 is that it natively supports the Moto Pen Ultra stylus accessory. I am not a stylus user by nature, and I haven't spent enough time using the Moto Pen Ultra on the Razr Fold yet to see if it's a game-changer, but Samsung sacrificed official S Pen stylus support on the Z Fold 7 last year in order to make the phone thinner. You can still use third-party pens, but Motorola having an official option that should work nicely with the phone is a big leg up for a lot of folks.

After a handful of days testing the Razr Fold, it's clear that this is a solid foldable phone that doesn't have anything catastrophically wrong with it, at least as long as the charging issue I encountered is an isolated incident. I'll have more to say on this soon.

Motorola just happens to be in an unlucky position here, with other major phone manufacturers having already matured in this space over the past several years, all while Apple takes its sweet time cooking up something that will almost certainly be very good, too.

The Motorola Razr Fold is available for pre-order starting May 14 and will be released May 21 for $1,899.99. You can order the foldable from Motorola and Best Buy.

Windows laptops aren't the only computers getting more expensive amid the global RAM shortage. Two PC makers have quietly raised the prices of their premium Chromebooks.

As of mid-May, two configurations of the Lenovo Chromebook Plus 14 and one variant of the Acer Chromebook Plus Spin 514 were up to $250 pricier than they were at launch last year:

• Lenovo Chromebook Plus 14 (MediaTek Kompanio Ultra 910, 16GB RAM, 256GB UFS) — was $749.99, now $999

• Lenovo Chromebook Plus 14 (MediaTek Kompanio Ultra 910, 12GB RAM, 128GB UFS) — was $649.99, now $829.99 (but sold out)

• Acer Chromebook Plus Spin 514 (MediaTek Kompanio Ultra 910, 12GB RAM, 256GB UFS) — was $699.99, now $749

A second configuration of the Acer model has remained steady at $799.99 since its release in September 2025, though it was out of stock at the time of writing.

Lenovo and Acer haven't formally announced these price hikes, which were first reported by the tech site Chrome Unboxed.

When reached for comment, an Acer spokesperson issued the following statement to Mashable:

Acer is adopting flexible pricing and promotional strategies to support demand and stabilize product availability as component costs increase. With any given model, as existing inventory sells out and new product is manufactured, there may be increases beyond Acer’s original MSRP guidance. This pricing will change based on demand, supply, as well as component costs at the time of manufacture.

A representative for Lenovo acknowledged Mashable's request for comment and said they'll follow up soon. We'll update this story once we hear back.

Both Chromebooks are best-in-class machines (we've tested them), but they were already costly at their original MSRPs. The now-$999 Lenovo Chromebook Plus 14, in particular, is impossible for me to recommend at full price despite its beautiful OLED display and peppy processor. An on-sale M5 MacBook Air is a vastly smarter buy.

If nothing else, these Chromebooks make Apple's new budget laptop, the Mashable Choice Award-winning MacBook Neo, look like even more of a bargain at $599 (or $499 for education buyers). But it might not be available at that price for much longer.

A surge in RAM and SSD demand for AI data center construction has led to a shortage of those components, driving up prices for the chips themselves and, by effect, the consumer electronics that require them. The RAM crisis has gotten so dire lately that scammers have started selling fake RAM modules, and it's expected to get worse next year.

In April, Microsoft announced price hikes of up to $500 for its Surface Laptops and Surface Pro convertibles, blaming "recent increases in memory and component costs" in a statement to Windows Central. Meanwhile, the modular PC maker Framework has adjusted its RAM and SSD prices every month since December. Most recently, it told customers that it's seen some stability this spring, but cautioned that it's likely just "a temporary reprieve."

For its part, Apple has been largely immune to "RAMageddon" so far, though it discontinued the cheapest configuration of its Mac mini desktop computer earlier this month. The base MacBook Neo might soon suffer the same fate, according to tech analyst Tim Culpan.

UPDATE: May. 14, 2026, 7:37 a.m. EDT This story has been updated with a statement from Acer.

Stephen Colbert has really put Barack Obama through the wringer. As well as challenging him to a rematch of wastepaper basketball and taking him on in a Wordle head-to-head, the Late Show host also gave the former U.S. president his famous "Colbert Questionert".

In the clip above Obama answers quickfire questions on everything from "favorite smell" to "earliest memory".

The sweetest answer? Probably his response to "Describe the rest of your life in five words", for which Obama uses three for his wife Michelle and daughters Malia and Sasha.

Ncuti Gatwa is set to host the final episode of SNL UK Season 1 on May 16 and the regeneration jokes are out.

The Doctor Who star will join musical guest Holly Humberstone to close out first run of the UK version of Saturday Night Live, and the above teaser suggests it's going to be a delightful last ep.

Joining cast members Emma Sidi and Larry Dean, Gatwa appears on the SNL UK stage as a regeneration of last week's host, Ted Lasso star Hannah Waddingham, in full Fifteenth Doctor style (though for apparent copyright reasons, they can't mention the BBC show).

SNL UK has had a successful run in its first season with previous hosts Tina Fey, Jamie Dornan, Riz Ahmed, Jack Whitehall, Nicola Coughlan, and Aimee Lou Wood.

The show has been renewed for a second season, coming this September.

These days, chances are you're learning about new experiences, attractions, and hotels through a social app, so why not book all those things directly through that app?

That appears to have been the line of reasoning for TikTok, which just announced TikTok Go, a new feature that lets you book local travel and tourism services in the TikTok app.

Mashable 101 Fan Fave: Vote for your favorite creator today.

TikTok Go allows you to book hotels (via partners such as Booking.com, Expedia, and Viator), as well as tours and various attractions. In an example provided by TikTok, a user sees someone posting a video from a hotel in San Francisco; a couple of taps later, the user is booking a room in that very hotel, all without leaving the TikTok app.

“Every day on TikTok, millions of people discover where to eat, where to stay, and what to do next. TikTok GO connects that moment of inspiration directly to the businesses behind it," Adam Presser, CEO of TikTok USDS Joint Venture (the American company established to oversee TikTok's U.S. operations), said in a statement.

There are benefits for content creators here, too, as they can earn commissions by featuring hotels, attractions, and other local services in their posts.

There are certain caveats, though. Users must be 18 or over to use the feature, and it's only available to users in the U.S. (for now).
