If the internet has taught us anything, it's that every few months, a new front opens in the quiet cultural skirmish between millennials and Gen Z. First, it was side parts versus middle parts. Then skinny jeans versus baggy denim. Then came the millennial pause and the Gen Z stare. Now the latest battlefield is… the top of your head.

Specifically, how much space you leave above it in a video.

SEE ALSO: Is Gen Z driving a return to the cinema?

The debate began with Gen Z creator @taylormknott joking that you can instantly tell how old someone is by how they film a TikTok, because millennials leave "a ton of space between the top of their head and the top of the screen."

The observation resonated with younger viewers accustomed to TikTok's tight, face-forward framing. But it also triggered an immediate response from millennials. One such creator, screenwriter Andrew Briedis, posted a stitched rebuttal on Instagram Reels.

"Gen Z, you know I love you," he began, before launching into a lightly exasperated defense of millennial filmmaking instincts. His argument was simple: millennials aren't leaving that space by accident. They're doing it on purpose.

View this post on Instagram

"It's called the Rule of Thirds," he said, referring to the classic photography and cinematography principle that divides a frame into three sections and positions subjects along those lines for visual balance. Leaving space above the head, he argued, draws the viewer's eye intentionally rather than cramming a face into the center of the frame.

In other words, what Gen Z sees as awkward framing, millennials see as composition.

But beneath the technical explanation lay one rooted in generational experience with technology. "Any of us millennials, we didn't have phones to record on," he said. "You know what I had in high school? A digital camera that recorded like 20 seconds, and then I had to plug it into a computer and download it."

For millennials, visual storytelling was something learned deliberately: photography classes, film studies, and early YouTube tutorials about composition and lighting. The grammar of images, like the rule of thirds, was taught as a skill.

Gen Z, by contrast, grew up with front-facing cameras in their pockets. Video wasn't just something you learned in a class. It was something you did constantly, from a very young age. The result is a different visual language: closer framing, direct eye contact with the camera, and compositions optimized for a vertical phone screen rather than cinematic balance.

As a millennial myself, I don't think either approach is necessarily wrong. They’re just products of different media ecosystems.

Millennials were raised on cameras and camcorders that adhered to traditional photography rules. Video felt closer to filmmaking. Gen Z was raised on smartphones and social media platforms where immediacy and intimacy matter more than textbook composition. The goal isn't to frame a shot like a director — it's to feel like you're FaceTiming a friend.

Even the creator who started the "millennial space" debate eventually responded with another video that zoomed out from the joke (but, notably, kept the camera angle tight).

"All these things that we tease each other for," @taylormknott said in a follow-up TikTok, "are indicators of a larger truth that exposes how we interact with technology differently based on when we were given access to it during our childhood development."

In other words, the debate about how much space you leave above your head in a video isn't really about framing at all. It's about how two generations learned to see themselves on camera and how the tools they grew up with shaped what "normal" looks like on screen.

So when Gen Z jokes about the "millennial space," they’re not just roasting millennial camera angles. They're pointing at a visual style shaped by an earlier internet. And when millennials defend it, they're defending something else entirely — the idea that framing a shot is a craft.

Like most generational internet debates, the argument is less about who's right and more about how quickly media habits evolve. What looks correct to one generation can look completely off to another.

Even when it's just the space above your head.

The Champions League playoff round was truly fantastic. We had loads of goals, moments of real drama, and surprise results. Is there more to come from the knockout rounds? We can dream.

Newcastle United vs. Barcelona is one of the most interesting matchups from this round. Can Eddie Howe's team deliver a couple of massive performances and progress against the might of Barça? They are going to need huge efforts from the likes of Tonali and Woltemade if they stand any chance of advancing.

Barcelona will be looking to Lamine Yamal to continue his fine form of late. Yamal’s superb goal earned Barcelona a 1-0 win at Athletic Bilbao at the weekend. That restored Barcelona's lead at the top of La Liga. Now the focus for Hansi Flick's team is squarely on St. James Park.

If you're stumped by an abstract math problem or a complicated physics concept, ChatGPT can help.

Announced today, OpenAI's chatbot can now generate interactive visuals in response to prompts on math and science questions, including dynamic, customizable graphs, diagrams, and geometric renderings. Once generated, users can adjust variables and manipulate formulas directly in the chat and watch the visuals change in real-time.

For now, visual explanations are available for 70 "core concepts" in science and math, including specific physics and geometric formulas like the Pythagorean theorem, Charles’ and Ohm's laws, kinetic and potential energy, and more. The subjects are curated for high school and college-age learners, OpenAI says, and the company plans to expand the feature with additional subjects in the future.

ChatGPT fields math and science questions from 140 million users each week, according to parent company OpenAI. Last year, the company launched Study Mode, a toggle-on ChatGPT experience designed to act more like an AI tutor rather than an all-around helper. With Study Mode on, ChatGPT is instructed not to give direct solutions but to encourage a more socratic style of learning. In Mashable's tests, however, the chatbot still provided answers, even when unprompted.

Dynamic visuals aren't a Study Mode-only feature, however, and the company told Mashable that the experience was designed and tested using the standard ChatGPT mode. Math and science visuals will appear across all ChatGPT experiences and plans, and are available now.

Apple's latest iOS beta — 26.4 beta 4 — rolled out this week and came with a serious upgrade in emoji.

Your mileage may vary on what's technically new, but iOS 26.4 beta 4 brings a total of 163 new emoji designs. There are 13 truly new emoji concepts (which we've seen before), and then 150 new skin tone variations for the existing wrestling and people with bunny ears emoji.

The emoji-focused resource, Emojipedia, helpfully published a first look at all the new emoji. They appear to be variations on the new emojis introduced by Unicode — the nonprofit that standardizes digital characters — last year.

The new concepts, as shown above, include a distorted face, a so-called fight cloud, a bigfoot-esque creature (technically, it's known as the "hairy creature"), an orca, a landslide, a treasure chest, and a ballerina in various skin tones. These are long-expected updates to emoji, as we covered back in 2025, but now they're starting to roll out.

Hairy creature, aka Bigfoot, appears to be the most anticipated of the new emoji. Personally, I think the fight cloud emoji has a bright future, especially for anyone who loved Saturday morning cartoons back in the day.

Patricia Cornwell's Kay Scarpetta has never led her own TV series or movie in 35 years, not since Postmortem hit shelves in 1990. Finally, the famed forensic crime writer's iconic protagonist has made her screen debut, with Nicole Kidman and Rosy McEwen taking on the chief medical examiner in Scarpetta.

Written by Liz Sarnoff (Lost, Deadwood, Barry) and directed by David Gordon Green (the modern Halloween trilogy) and Charlotte Brändström (The Rings of Power), the Prime Video series leans on its '90s and '00s roots to show off Cornwell's legacy in the forensic thriller genre.

Like Mare of Easttown and to an extent True Detective, Scarpetta is a crime procedural that blends murder investigation with complicated family drama, with this impeccable cast — Kidman, McEwen, Jamie Lee Curtis, Bobby Cannavale, Ariana DeBose, and Simon Baker — bringing out the best in the latter. If you're a fan of forensic thrillers with familial feuds, dive into the Scarpetta files.

If Scarpetta feels like it hits the notes of many a modern forensic crime thriller, just remember Patricia Cornwell changed the game for the genre in the '90s and '00s, making her mark amid contemporaries like Kathy Reichs and Jeffery Deaver. Without Cornwell's early '90s books like Postmortem or Body of Evidence, there's no CSI, no Bones, no Cold Case, no Dexter. And Sarnoff knows it; her script has a young Scarpetta directly quoting from Postmortem in an early scene — "Out there, somewhere, is a man..." — and Cornwell herself makes a cameo in the first episode.

Revolving around Dr. Kay Scarpetta (Kidman/McEwen), the series bounces between three time periods — the '70s, '90s, and the present — charting moments from Scarpetta's tragedy-marked childhood, through her first case as Virginia's first female chief medical examiner, and her return to the job in the present. When murder victims turn up bearing the same hallmarks as Scarpetta's big career-defining case from 28 years ago, the possibility that she might have pinned the wrong suspect becomes very real.

In both Kidman and McEwen's talented hands, Scarpetta is a methodical, smart, and sangfroid chainsmoker, highly skilled as chief medical examiner, scrutinising causes of death and throwing the book at chauvinist colleagues. She's not a hard-boiled detective who flies off the handle and cuts corners — that's her charming but combustible partner Pete Marino (Cannavale Sr. in the present, Cannavale Jr. in the past). Instead, she's a by-the-book forensic pathologist urging her colleagues to wear sanitary equipment and refrain from using slurs. The comparisons between her and another scrupulous '90s investigator, The X-Files' Dana Scully, are not subtle, from the suits and tees Kay dons to a literal collation of the two's similarities in episode 6.

When Scarpetta and Marino walk through crime scenes, the series leans on the 2000s-style blue-toned flashback technique favoured by shows like CSI and Cold Case, which can feel a little dated. The same goes for the series' lack of real background for half of the serial killers' victims — we only get to know small details about women recently murdered, the rest relegated to mere Post-Its and photos on a red yarn wall, while the search for the killer's identity is foregrounded. At one point Scarpetta insists, "We don't know them," when a lab technician suggests humanising the victims — even though Scarpetta often corrects sexist, victim-blaming language from her colleagues.

The series also leans slightly into the psychological cat-and-mouse game that defined '90s forensic fiction and the flurry of '00s crime adaptations that came with it: The Bone Collector, Kiss the Girls, Red Dragon. Fittingly, Scarpetta's 1998 storyline feels the most aligned to this specific trend, with the medical examiner finding herself in increasingly dangerous waters.

Scarpetta also hits every note in the genre Alexis Nedd described for Mashable as "curmudgeonly detective solves a dead girl case while their personal/romantic life falls apart." We're talking the near-constant presence of enormous glasses of wine, requisite pondering-in-the-shower scenes, and open disdain for the press (especially Sosie Bacon's Abby). The fact that Scarpetta doesn't go for early morning runs is one of the few hallmarks of the subgenre missing from her characterisation.

Being a Blumhouse production, the detail in Scarpetta's autopsy scenes can be gruesome, so squeamish viewers may want to look away. However, it's this level of detail that makes it the Patricia Cornwell adaptation it is, with the author's inclusion of forensic detail her signature stamp on the genre.

Brimming with top-tier talent, the Scarpetta cast is the show's sharpest weapon, led by Kidman in full, glorious, intellectual-internalised-rage mode. The physicality shared between Kidman and her '90s-era counterpart, played by McEwen, is wildly convincing; the same goes for the always compelling Cannavale as Pete Marino and his '90s self, played by the actor's son, Jake Cannavale. And though this casting might be a little on the nepo baby nose, you can't argue it's not effective, especially when the Cannavales take full advantage of their lion's share of one-liners like, "Looks like our very own Ted Bundy just bought himself a polygraph."

While Bobby Cannavale almost steals the spotlight himself as the wise-cracking, deeply loyal Marino, he's battling with two fellow castmates for it: Jamie Lee Curtis and Ariana DeBose.

If there's a scene with Curtis in it, pray for her scene partners. As Kay's polar opposite, her rambunctious, flamboyant, and unfiltered sister Dorothy, Curtis is incredibly fun to watch, clad in sequins, leopard print, and dropping red hot home truths. Though they both crave control, Kay's disdainful composure clashes with Dorothy's provocative combativeness. Honestly, break out the popcorn for Kidman and Curtis (who somehow have never starred together in anything?) arguing like only sisters can, with Curtis' Dorothy demanding attention like a town crier and earnestly dropping dialogue like, "My own stallion-like spirit feels diminished by her."

DeBose, meanwhile, is superb as Lucy, Dorothy's tech-savvy daughter who basically grew up parented by Kay. She's mourning her late wife (Janet Montgomery) by turning her into an AI companion. This light eye-roll of a plot device would feel like product placement for artificial intelligence's "good side" if DeBose wasn't such a talent, with her performance (as well as Curtis and Kidman's) actually making me believe this Black Mirror-style connection.

Like its protagonist, Scarpetta isn't perfect, but it's steeped in nostalgia and respect for the author who drove forensic fiction through the hallmarks we now take for granted as commonplace. With a cast this brilliant and a cliffhanger ending, Scarpetta's first season feels like the beginning of a series, Cornwell-style.

Scarpetta is streaming on Prime Video March 11.

Silver, Blush, Citrus, and Indigo — those are the four colors that Apple's brand new affordable laptop, the MacBook Neo, now comes in.

And according to a report from Bloomberg's Apple insider Mark Gurman, Apple may also be looking into bringing a new color palette to the iMac. Gurman says that Apple plans on launching a new iMac later this year.

Apple first upgraded the iMac to its Silicon chipset in 2021 with the M1 iMacs. The company then skipped the M2 chips altogether in the iMac, and the desktop went without an upgrade in 2022. Apple then released the M3 iMac in 2024. 

Apple last upgraded its popular desktop line of computers in 2024 with the release of the iMacs with the M4 chip.

The current M4 iMac lineup is currently available in seven different colors: Green, Yellow, Orange, Pink, Purple, Blue, and Silver. 

According to Gurman, Apple is looking at a "refreshed color palette" for the iMac, which was historically known for its signature aquamarine blue.

As you can see, the current iMacs offerings come in the classic base colors, whereas Apple has opted to offer specific color shades with the MacBook Neo line. It's unclear, though, if Apple is looking to offer the exact same Neo color options for iMac as well. 

Not much is known about the iMac refresh quite yet. It is more than likely that the new iMac will come with Apple's new M5 chipset. 

Color options aside, it will be interesting to see where Apple goes in regards to pricing for the new iMacs. The all-in-one display and computer has traditionally targeted a more affordable price point. Apple raised its M5 MacBook Pro prices across the board when it launched the devices last week. The current base iMac retails for $1,299.

A viral app to help men stop masturbating exposed thousands of users' data, 404 Media reports.

The app, Quittr, claims to be the "#1 Porn Addiction App to Quit Porn Forever" on its website. It apparently blocks porn websites on one's device, as well as tracks one's "abstinence" from porn. Quittr also has community features like groups, a "panic button" for "emergency nofap help" and even an AI therapist. (Experts warn against using AI for therapy.)

"Nofap" began as a Reddit community to stop masturbating — though Quittr isn't affiliated with NoFap LLC, and the app received notice to stop using its trademark for marketing. The label has since been removed.

"Porn addiction," like "sex addiction," isn't recognized by the DSM-5, which classifies mental disorders. While porn-viewing can be compulsive, like other behaviors, research suggests that perceived porn addiction predicted distress over actual porn use itself. Yet, the idea of "porn addiction" persists in the U.S., which lacks comprehensive sex education requirements in many states; only 37 percent of states require sex education to be medically accurate, according to Boston University.

"Porn addiction," like "sex addiction," isn't recognized by the DSM-5, which classifies mental disorders.

Meanwhile, for years, the "nofap" community on Reddit and elsewhere has purported the benefits of not ejaculating, from physical to mental boons, but there is limited research on the veracity of this. (NoFap LLC told Mashable that it's a "behavioral addiction peer support website" and believes masturbation and ejaculation are generally healthy activities.)

In this environment, Quittr has thrived, with a 4.7 out of 5 rating based on around 29,000 ratings on Apple App Store, and a 4.8 out of 5 rating based on 8,400 ratings on Google Play. Its founders, Alex Slater and Connor McLaren, recently told New York Magazine that the app has been downloaded 1.5 million times and brings in $500,000 per month. (It costs users $30 per year.)

Now, 404 Media reports that Quittr leaked data about hundreds of thousands of users' masturbation habits as well as lied about its security issues.

A researcher told 404 Media that they scanned apps for a misconfiguration in apps that use the development platform Google Firebase, as that same issue was seen in the Tea app. The researcher found that Quittr had the same problem and contacted the founders about the issue, and while they said it would be fixed in an hour, it wasn't fixed for months.

Apparently, the researcher could access data for more than 600,000 users on Quittr, including 100,000 who identified as minors.

When 404 Media's Emanuel Maiberg called them, they denied there was an issue. But the misconfiguration has since been fixed, according to the report.

As of March 10, the Sony ULT Tower 9 Bluetooth Karaoke Party Speaker is on sale at Amazon for $748, marked down from the list price of $899.99. That works out to a 17% discount that shaves $151.99 off the price. So far, this is lowest price we've seen this year at Amazon.

If you love house parties, you could probably make great use of a party speaker. These steroid-ridden portable speakers will roll around your home, yard, or down the road to become the life of the party. The Sony ULT Tower 9 Bluetooth Karaoke Party Speaker comes with plenty of features that make it perfect for parties all year long. With 360-degree lighting, this speaker really can bring life to any event.

In Mashable's roundup of the best party speakers, the Sony ULT Tower 9 earns a honorable mention. Today's sale of $748 applies to the battery-powered model of this massive speaker which gets up to 25 hours of battery life before it'll need to recharge. Plus, a 10-minute charge gives you 180 minutes of party time.

One of the downsides the Mashable lists about the speaker is its high price. But thanks to today's deal, the battery-powered model is down to the same price as the plug-in version.

"It has two built-in slots for holding wireless microphones and a karaoke feature in the Sony Sound Connect app," according to the Mashable review. "On top of that, it was top-to-bottom lights, which can be controlled with touch controls or via the app. Typically, we find that bass-boost features throw off the overall sound balance, but that's less of a problem with this behemoth than with other speakers in the ULT line."

Before the perfect spring days begin and you break out the barbecue and invite the neighbors over, upgrade your parties with the Sony ULT Tower 9 Bluetooth Karaoke Party Speaker. It's currently sitting at the lowest price we've seen in 2026 and snagging it now means you can get some practice karaoke rounds in before the first party.

Curious about curved monitors, but don't want to break the bank making the switch? Amazon's deal on the Samsung Odyssey G5 can totally transform your gaming experience for less than $300.

As of March 10, the Samsung 32-inch Odyssey G55C curved gaming monitor is down to only $249.99 at Amazon and Samsung's own website. That's 28% or $100 off its original list price of $349.99.

The 32-inch 2560x1440 QHD display features a 1000R curvature and 16:9 aspect ratio, which means the screen will wrap around your field of view. A 1000R curve is considered the ideal curve for a monitor, as it's the closest match to the human field of view, according to MSI. This helps reduce eye strain, enhances depth, and makes for a more immersive gaming experience overall. That being said, it does take some getting used to.

The Odyssey G55C monitor also features a 165Hz refresh rate, 1ms response time, AMD Radeon FreeSync, HDR10, and an eye-saver mode that reduce screen flickering and keep your eyes relaxed during extended gaming periods. It's not the most premium monitor on the market, but Samsung monitors have a solid reputation. If you're looking to upgrade to a curved monitor that can handle gaming, work, and everyday scrolling and streaming, but you're balling on a budget, this is an option well worth your consideration — especially now that it's $100 cheaper.
