I Love Boosters review: Keke Palmer goes wild in Boots Rileys new sci-fi satire

Fri, 03/13/2026 - 18:52

No one is making movies like Boots Riley. The audacious American filmmaker who had critics raving about his mind-bending 2018 directorial debut Sorry to Bother You is back with I Love Boosters, an unreservedly anti-capitalist satire with a deluge of bonkers spectacle and fierce fashion. 

While filmmakers out of February's Berlin Film Festival aimed to avoid politics in promoting their work, SXSW kicked off with an opening night film that uses car chases, teleportation, stop-motion animated monsters, and a sprawling story about shoplifters to raise a big, bedazzled middle finger in protest to a capitalist society that treats workers' rights and self-expression like a luxury item. 

With a dynamic cast that includes Keke Palmer, Naomi Ackie, Taylour Paige, Poppy Liu, Eiza González, Will Poulter, Demi Moore, Don Cheadle, and LaKeith Stanfield, Riley delivers a sophomore effort that's outrageous, provocative, and really fucking fun. 

What's I Love Boosters all about?  Credit: SXSW

Written and directed by Boots Riley, I Love Boosters centers on a trio of "boosters," known as the Velvet Gang, who shoplift designer clothing from chic stores and resell them at discount prices. But each of these boosters has their own motivations for this risky version of entrepreneurship. For single-mom Sade (Ackie), it's all about the money, be it through boosting or a pyramid scheme called Friends Being Friendly. She's determined to buy her kids a better life, whatever the cost. 

Meanwhile, chipper Mariah (Paige) sees their group as "fashion-forward filanthropists [sic]" who give back to their community by making awesome gear affordable. (Yes, she knows philanthropy isn't spelled with an "f" — but "branding, though.") Then there's Corvette (Palmer), a fashionista who dreams of being a top designer like her idol, Christie Smith (Moore). This cunty-bobbed executive owns a series of shops that only sell one color of clothing per month, which creates an eye-popping production design of violently hued shops that early on give I Love Boosters a cartoonish impishness. 

Irate over the boosters hitting her stores, Smith declares war on the shoplifters that she calls "low-class urban bitches — all due respect to urban bitches." From there, the Velvet Gang steps up their game with the help of some new allies, who are less interested in reselling designer duds than in kick-starting a workers' rights movement against Smith's sweatshop industry. 

Along the way, they'll fold in not only a dizzying barrage of eye-popping outfits and fabulous wigs, but also an ultra sci-fi device that can deconstruct, transform, or teleport anything from clothes to people with a sloppy splurt of glimmering goo. And without spoilers, I can say that if you thought horse people in the climax of Sorry to Bother You were a weird treat, you'll be pleased with how supporting players like Don Cheadle, Jermaine Fowler, and Jason Ritter come into play in the chaotic climax. 

Keke Palmer is a shining star in I Love Boosters

Don't get it twisted. Palmer's had a storied career with scads of terrific performances that display her irresistible charisma and kinetic screen presence. But often in movies, she's the love interest (Good Fortune, The Pickup) or half of a double act (Nope, One Them Days). While I Love Boosters is about the Velvet Gang, there's no question Corvette is its protagonist, and Palmer is its star. 

Riley gives this dynamo room to move. From the opening frames, cinematographer Natasha Braier follows Corvette as she swans across a dance floor, cool and confident. Braier frames her close for shots of longing, like when Corvette crosses paths with a mystery man (Stanfield) who's so hot that his POV close-up from Corvette's perspective rattles in the frame. It's as if we can see her brain short-circuit as she takes in the Prince-like curls dangling down his face to his sexy, smudged eyeliner, his husky voice, and the smoldering expression that make this man a dangerous distraction to her booster mission.

But comedy lives in the wide shot. So in scenes of goofy physical stunts — like when Corvette tries to sneak out of Christie's penthouse, where the floor is at a 45-degree angle — Palmer full-body commits to the bit. Whether she's prat-falling on her face, running like a cartoon roadrunner, or escaping a boosting trip with a velvet tracksuit so stuffed with stolen goods it makes her look like a pink Stay Puft marshmallow man, she's giving comedy on the level of Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton, landing the physical business without a wink to the camera.

From there, costume designer Shirley Kurata builds Corvette's ambition to be a fashion designer through every single look. Palmer is alternatively wrapped in turquoise vinyl, Harajuku streetwear, '90s club kid gear, and highlighter yellow menswear. Some actors might be swallowed by so much look, but Palmer wears it all with ease, expressing Corvette's passion in each step. 

And it might go without saying, but no one hits a punchline like Palmer. It's not just that her take on Riley's wacky dialogue gets laughs. A one-liner in the film's final sequence earned roars of laughter that erupted into cheers and scattered applause. It's thrilling to see a movie give Palmer such a well-earned showcase — especially one that pits her onscreen against Moore, whose own weirdo showcase The Substance became a surprise award season contender. Could I Love Boosters have a similar rise? I'd like to live in that world. 

I Love Boosters is stuffed with laughs, twists, and a killer supporting cast. 

Palmer drives this wild ride, but every actor around her is fully on board for Riley's radical vision. Ackie has been on a tear of late, playing everything from an earnest cop (The Thursday Murder Club) to a kinky soldier (Mickey 17) to a caring best friend (Sorry, Baby) to a vengeance-seeking party girl (Blink Twice). Here, she's the tough love in the Velvet Gang, bringing intensity and determination that crackles opposite Palmer's dreaminess and Paige's comically consistent awe. Watching Paige playfully pluck at plush nipples on a big fluffy nude suit while the rest of the crew gets into a heated argument is a lesson in low-key comedy brilliance. 

A kinetic Poppy Liu gets in on the fun with a side quest full of color, real-world horror, and high-energy action. Eiza González seethes and sizzles as a union-minded shop girl, while Will Poulter is a pitch-perfect bastard as her posh, merciless manager. Stanfield thrives as the sultry eye candy, but he's at his best when that subplot gets utterly devilish. Then there's Moore, who gives a scathingly hilarious portrait of American wealth and entitlement. 

Moore spits monologues about art over commerce with such conviction that you might be tempted to believe Christie Smith's sales pitch. But Moore also delivers snarls that send a shiver. And numerous scenes in her preposterously slanted penthouse (perhaps inspired by actual ultra-expensive high rises that aren't on the level) expose her fashion exec as ridiculous. 

There are similarly sharp visual critiques of wage-gap politics, like Corvette and Sade prepping for their insanely short lunch break by placing their feet in starter's blocks, ready to literally race for sustenance. And with each over-the-top sight gag, Riley whips his audience into an elated surprise. He presents our world with its worst and best bits exaggerated — just like a certain MacGuffin in this movie. And through that, he urges us to reflect not only on the absurdities of our own society, but also on how we might dream up something better and bolder. 

I Love Boosters plays like a fever dream. Its narrative veers into tangents, with subplots buried under sensational set pieces and big ideas. It's undeniably messy, tossing in new characters, weird conspiracies, and an astonishing avalanche of unhinged imagery. But I wouldn't have it any other way. 

Riley isn't just rejecting the status quo of American capitalism with his films. He's rejecting the tidy boxes filmmakers are urged to put their stories into to make them more marketable, be they boxes of form or genre. Like the fashion in the film, Riley blends whatever fits his vision without apology. By delivering something this messy and marvelous, Riley makes a statement about the glory to be found outside the box. And make no mistake: I Love Boosters is glorious.

I Love Boosters was reviewed at SXSW. The film opens in theaters May 22.

I googled my name and found thousands of strangers tearing me apart

Fri, 03/13/2026 - 17:29

The following article contains an extract from Beyond Belief: A Defence of Gossip and the Women Who Do It by Katie Baskerville.

Tattle Life is an internet forum dedicated to gossiping negatively about people. Here, you’ll find a deluge of posts, all dedicated to ripping chunks out of people in the public eye, from A-listers to micro influencers, where slut-shaming, victim-blaming and body-shaming proliferate. It’s the ultimate mean-girl platform, built for tearing other women down – although the platform has in the past disputed this reputation. 

While it’s believed that the majority of the users on the site are female, the anonymous nature of it makes it near impossible to discern the gender split. Originally, on the site’s ‘About’ section a moderator, identified only by her username ‘Helen’, had created a lengthy statement about what Tattle Life is for: "Tattle Life is a commentary website on public business social media accounts. We allow commentary and critiques of people that choose to monetise their personal life as a business and release it into the public domain."

SEE ALSO: Inside the deep, dark world of influencer gossip forums

Helen’s post goes on to explain that Tattle Life has a 24/7 moderation service that seeks to remove "abusive, hateful and harmful" content. Helen states that the purpose of the forum is to allow people to have their opinions as part of a "healthy and free society."  

Any brush with fame, no matter how fleeting, is enough for someone to find themselves in the firing line of Tattle Life users. This is something that Lauren (not her real name), a UK-based influencer and writer, has experienced first-hand. In 2020, while searching for something she’d written online, Lauren noticed that a Tattle Life sub-thread had been published about her. She explains that, in many ways, it felt like an inevitability, having sensed that it would only be a matter of time before she found herself there. "I was like, Oh, God – here we go," she remembers. But as she read on, the language used against Lauren became more and more personal. "I was absolutely heartbroken, because I know so many of my content-creator friends and acquaintances who are also on that website [as victims], and it’s some of the most soul-destroying content you could ever come across."

"It got to the point where I had to shield the screen when I googled my name."

"They will just make up really weird scenarios and run with it as if it’s fact," says Lauren. "They talk about my partner, my body, my clothes, my parents … It got to the point where I had to shield the screen when I googled my name; it was detrimental to my mental health, seeing new things written about me, sometimes on a weekly basis."

The comments on Tattle Life took such a toll that they started to impact how Lauren worked. "I noticed that I was beginning to tailor my content based on what they were saying. So, for instance, if I had gone in there and I had noticed that they said, 'She’s doing too many Instagram stories where she’s talking to camera and she looks ugly,' or something like that, I would stop," she recounts, before continuing. "If they said something about the way I was dressed, I would stop buying from that specific store in order to appease them and not have them talk about me. It got to a point where it just felt like it was dictating my everyday life."

This desire to conform went against Lauren’s character, and she describes herself as having developed a resilience to people discussing her body. "Existing in the body that I do … has always attracted trolls, specifically fatphobic men who don’t like listening to a larger, plus-sized, dark-skinned woman being very vocal about body image and desirability," she explains. Despite this, it was comments about Lauren’s personality that chipped away at her self-esteem the most: "I really try to pride myself on being a nice person and being kind to people and being very honest as an influencer as well," she says. "And when they started calling me annoying, or that I seemed like a nasty person, and when they began talking about my parents – that’s when I became defensive." Lauren realised that one of the people writing about her on Tattle Life must have been someone she knew, further deepening the betrayal. "I have had to put a lot of distance between me and a lot of people, because it’s really shown me that I can’t trust anybody."

Tattle Life has been labelled a "troll’s paradise" by the Guardian, and the site has been linked to doxxing, cyberbullying, and other antisocial online behaviours – so much so that research into the motivations behind the site show that this online community "legitimizes itself by deploying a feminine gender identity in three overlapping and internally contradictory ways": to "minimise the power of their community to do harm," to "provide moral justification for their actions’ and ‘to claim the status of persecuted victims." There are hundreds of thousands of posts and threads that exist for the sole purpose of tearing other women down. The idea that this brand of bitchiness is an inherently female trait, or that threads scrutinising and harassing celebrities and influencers should be shrugged off as nothing more than ‘mean-girl’ behaviour seems absurd.

For years, Tattle Life was believed to be a site made by women, for women. In 2025, however, it was revealed that the site had been founded by Sebastian Bond, a 42-year-old vegan food influencer, who had been using the false name "Helen McDougal" – the moderator behind the ‘About’ page. In a landmark case that saw Neil and Donna Sands, two of the site’s victims, sue Tattle Life for defamation and harassment, anonymity would no longer shield people from culpability. The couple were awarded £300,000 in damages and Bond was named as a result.

Former DOGE employees give an inside look at the Elon Musk-led agency

Fri, 03/13/2026 - 16:54

Thanks to a lawsuit against DOGE, we are now getting an inside look at what happened at the government agency formerly led by Elon Musk and the type of people Musk hired to run it.

In May of last year, the American Council of Learned Societies (ACLS), the American Historical Association (AHA), and the Modern Language Association (MLA) filed a lawsuit in federal district court in an attempt to reverse DOGE's cuts to the the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH). These cuts eliminated entire divisions and programs, which included grants.

As a result of the lawsuit, two employees at DOGE, Justin Fox and Nate Cavanaugh were deposed. Videos of those hours-long depositions with Musk's DOGE employees have just been uploaded to YouTube.

So, how did Elon Musk's government agency determine what to cut? They asked ChatGPT.

“Does the following relate at all to DEI?” is the prompt DOGE regularly used, giving the AI chatbot further direction to make things as simple for them as possible, the employees revealed.

SEE ALSO: Former DOGE hire still has 'god level' Social Security data, whistleblower says

The DOGE employees inducted ChatGPT to provide a "yes" or "no" answer with an explanation that was shorter than 120 characters.

Most notably, but perhaps unsurprising, is just how uniformed the two DOGE employees appear to be. The two admit to being inexperienced, having zero experience in government before joining DOGE. Clips from the deposition uploaded by 404 Media have already gone viral on the internet showcasing how Fox struggles for some time in trying to define what DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) is yet they were tasked with defunding any programs that they deemed to be DEI.

Fox claimed that documentaries concerning Black civil rights or a film that focused on Jewish women in the Holocaust would be defunded by DOGE because both would be considered DEI.

SEE ALSO: DOGE has an AI tool to help decide which federal regulations to 'delete'

Fox reasoned that these should be defunded because they focused on a "specific group or a specific race" and were "not for the benefit of humankind."

During the deposition, Fox provides a stunning omission that DOGE made in weeding out programs it decided were DEI.

DOGE would search programs and grants to cut using terms such as “Black," "gender," “LGBTQ+," and "equality."  However, DOGE would not search for cuts from anything involving terms like "caucasian” and “heterosexual.”

In his deposition, Cavanaugh shared the labeling system he had for grants that DOGE was looking to cut such as "craziest." The DOGE worker labeled dozens of LGBTQ+ related grants with that designation.

Fox, Cavanaugh, and other DOGE workers were tasked with cutting trillions of dollars from the U.S. deficit by Elon Musk. DOGE managed to cut hundreds of billions of dollars. However, despite DOGE's cuts, the deficit increased. DOGE was disbanded in November 2025.

Investigations are now underway involving DOGE and its inexperienced employees hired by Musk. In one such new case, one DOGE employee allegedly lifted social security records, stored them on a USB drive, and took them to his next job in the private sector.

Fox made $150,000 while working with DOGE. Cavanaugh made $120,000.

TCL's T7 lineup, released in late 2025, is quite the enigma. It's loaded with flagship-tier features, yet it comes with a price tag that won't scare you away. Even better, the 55-inch model is on sale for over $200 off — just one cent away from its all-time low price from Black Friday.

In other words, it's a remarkably vibrant and colorful TV — a great choice for watching sports, getting lost in movies, and even immersing yourself in games. It packs a 165Hz native refresh rate, 5000 nits peak brightness, up to 5,600 local dimming zones, smart features and a streamlined interface through Google TV, and support for HDR in Dolby Vision, HDR10, HDR10+, and HLG. Usually the 65-inch model retails for a steep $2,199, but you can grab it this weekend for under $900.

Best Samsung TV deal Opens in a new window Credit: Samsung Samsung 65-inch Q8F QLED 4K TV $697.99 at Amazon
$999.99 Save $302   Get Deal

Samsung's TV lineup is vast, but on the budget-friendly side of its QLED models stands the Q8F. It may not be the fanciest QLED, but its features are still pretty impressive. It combines a vibrant quantum dot display with a Q4 AI processor to upscale your content and integrated sensors to monitor ambient sound and auto-adjust for a top-notch listening experience. There's also a dedicated gaming dashboard featuring a 144Hz refresh rate, AMD FreeSync Premium VRR, and Motion Xcelerator Turbo+ for a buttery smooth, stutter-free performance. The 65-inch model typically hovers the $1,000 threshold, but it's currently down to its best price ever at Amazon — grab it for only $697.99 this weekend.

Cordless stick vacuums are convenient, right until the battery dies halfway through cleaning your living room. If you're tired of dealing with limited runtimes and just want a reliable clean, you need a corded stick vacuum.

As of March 13, you can get the Shark Rocket Ultra-Light Vacuum (HV301) for $99, down from $199.99, at Amazon. That's a 50% discount or $100.99 savings. While this isn't the cheapest we've seen it go for, it's pretty close. It was $84.99 back in 2019, and this is the closest it's gotten to that price since.

SEE ALSO: The best vacuums we've tested at home, from robots to Dyson stick vacs

Weighing in at just under nine pounds, this vac is super easy to maneuver. It uses swivel steering to easily navigate tight corners and around furniture, while its low-profile design allows you to reach under couches and beds without a struggle. Yes, it has a cord (which I know is a dealbreaker for some), but this also means you'll never have to pause for a recharge.

For versatile, floor-to-ceiling cleaning, the stick quickly converts into a handheld vacuum. It also comes with both an upholstery tool and a crevice tool to help you tackle pet hair or dust in awkward spaces. When you're done, just empty the dust cup and hang the hand portion from the hook on the wand for compact storage.

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 8 leak makes surprising battery reveal

Fri, 03/13/2026 - 15:39

Samsung's upcoming Galaxy Z Flip 8 may not get as many upgrades as users are expecting, if a new leaks turns out to be true.

Alleged spec leaks suggest that the new entry into Samsung's Razr-style flip phone line won't be reinventing the battery, according to the blog GalaxyClub. The leak links two EB-BF776 and EB-BF777 batteries to the Z Flip 8 model, which Android Authority explains have a total rated capacity of 4,174mAh — the same capacity as the previous Galaxy Z Flip 7.

SEE ALSO: Apple's iPhone Fold will let you run apps side by side, report claims

Other Android phones have upgraded their battery set ups with silicon-carbon batteries, but the Z Flip has remained on a more standard 4,300mAh capacity battery, around 100 mAh smaller than the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7.

Still, the Galaxy Z Flip 7 scored high marks in Mashable's initial review, including the AI phone's seamless cover screen, solid processing power, and all day battery life. "I wouldn't call this a multi-day phone, but it's very not bad, and you'll get a lot more mileage out of it if you use the cover screen as often as possible," wrote our reviewer Adam Doud.

TL;DR: Live stream the NBA for free with a 30-day free trial of Amazon Prime. Live stream the NBA for free from anywhere in the world with ExpressVPN.

The NBA is a unique sport. There's nothing else in which incredibly tall athletes can be made to look absolutely tiny by aliens who can dunk without leaving the ground. And almost all of these shockingly tall athletes display a skillset that mere mortals can't even fathom.

The NBA could make a legitimate argument that it hosts the very best athletes in the world. Sure, the NFL might disagree. And rugby definitely attracts some special specimens. But the NBA has a bunch of seven footers dunking on each other. That's tough to beat.

If you are interested in watching the NBA for free from anywhere in the world, we've got all the information you need.

What is the NBA?

How to watch the NBA for free

Select NBA games are available to live stream for free with a 30-day trial of Amazon Prime.

86 regular-season games, the Emirates Cup Championship, the play-in tournament, one third of first and second round games of the Playoffs, a Conference Finals series, and the NBA Finals are available to Prime members in the UK. The full schedule can be found here.

You can officially buy the $1,199.99 Dyson Spot+Scrub Ai. Will it solve Dysons robot vacuum problem?

Fri, 03/13/2026 - 15:30

UPDATE: Mar. 13, 2026, 10:30 a.m. EDT The Dyson Spot+Scrub Ai robot vacuum costs $1,199.99 and is officially available to buy as of March 12. This story was originally written when the Spot+Scrub Ai was announced in September.

Opens in a new window Credit: Dyson Dyson Spot+Scrub Ai robot vacuum and mop combo $1,199.99 at Dyson
  Shop Now

Between being the blueprint for cordless stick vacuums and for heated hair tools, it never felt right that Dyson couldn't figure out how to be relevant in the world of robot vacuums. But less than two years after its last failed attempt, Dyson is releasing another new robot vacuum — and it actually feels promising this time. The Dyson Spot+Scrub Ai was announced on Sept. 4 and again in the Sept. 5 Dyson Unveiled event on YouTube.

SEE ALSO: I tried Dyson's new PencilVac, a stick vacuum with half the weight, double the lasers. No, I will not 'chill.'

Frankly, it wouldn't have taken much for Dyson to eclipse the (lack of) prestige of its 2024 360 Vis Nav robot vacuum. It wasn't a self-emptying, small obstacle-avoiding, or even mopping robot vacuum, but was confidently priced like one. The new Spot+Scrub Ai robot vacuum is all three of those things, complete with a few secret weapons that could help Dyson claim its stake in the saturated robot vacuum market. Yet, Dyson isn't charging extra — the Spot+Scrub Ai costs the same $1,199.99 that the 360 Vis Nav originally did.

Most exciting to me personally, the new Dyson robot vacuum has a laser. Dyson's technically calling it "green LED illumination," but the product images show it highlighting dust and debris just like the laser heads do on Dyson's stick vacuums.

My beloved Dyson laser, now in a robot vacuum. Credit: Dyson You can see how well the new Dyson robot vacuum cleans your floors. Credit: Dyson

A few months ago, whilst ruminating on overly ambitious robot vacuum innovations like the Roborock Saros Z70's robotic arm, I was also brainstorming some dream new robot vacuum features that would actually be practical. And guess what I verbatim manifested in that story? For the next Dyson robot vacuum to have a green laser, that's what. I've been laser-or-bust since I first experienced it with my beloved Dyson V12 Detect Slim stick vacuum. The ability to so plainly see the status of dust and debris on the floor before and after the vacuum hits it is such undeniable proof of a thorough clean. Not even the best robot vacuums from Roborock or Dreame offer that yet. The Shark UV Reveal 2-in-1's UV light is the only feature that comes close.

Here's where the "AI" part comes in. The Spot+Scrub Ai assesses the cleaning path ahead of it in real time, using AI stain detection and an AI-powered camera to determine the best way to clean different types of messes. If a liquid stain on a hard floor is detected, before and after photos are taken of the area to ensure that the robot doesn't stop mopping until the stain is fully gone. The scrubbing is done with a wet roller instead of spinning or flat mopping pads. (The new Dreame X60 Max Ultra Complete and Roborock Qrevo Curv 2 Flow use AI cameras in similar ways, but don't take photos for proof.)

SEE ALSO: 'Why does my robot vacuum suck now?' Well, when's the last time you cleaned it?

Dyson noted that the roller mop rinses itself with fresh water as it rotates, but the tank refilling situation in the dock is still unclear. Dyson hasn't revealed numbers for the Spot+Scrub Ai's suction power, though it probably won't be in Pascals (Pa) to easily compare to other robot vacuums, anyway. The 360 Vis Nav was actually quite powerful during my testing, so I expect the Spot+Scub Ai to be a good robot vacuum for carpets.

So yes, it seems that Dyson has read the room and addressed the critical features missing from the 360 Vis Nav. But the ultimate test of self-awareness lies in price. We don't know how much the Spot+Scrub Ai will cost, but it would be bold of Dyson to pass the $1,500 threshold. The 360 Vis Nav debuted at $1,199.99 when it had no business in such a premium price range (though it conveniently dropped to $499.99 the same week as this announcement dropped).

Got ink? Chipotle is giving tattooed fans free food today — how to claim

Fri, 03/13/2026 - 14:50

TL;DR: On March 13, dine in at Chipotle from 3-4 p.m. local time and show off your tattoo to qualify for a special BOGO deal.

We do our best to track all the those free food deals that pop up from time to time, and the going has been pretty good recently. Dairy Queen announced the date of its Free Cone Day, Ben & Jerry's did the same, and there's a load of Pi Day deals going live this weekend. With all this competition for your business, how can the likes of Chipotle stand out from the crowd?

By offering free food to anyone with a tattoo, that's how.

Yes, that's right. Your tattoo can get you a special deal at Chipotle on March 13. And you don't even need a real tattoo. Visit Chipotle with any temporary tattoo or drawn-on tattoo from 3-4 p.m. local time to qualify for a BOGO deal on entrées.

The BOGO promotion is limited to five free menu items per order, and each free item must be matched by a purchased item of equal or greater value. The catch is that each free item needs to be collected by someone with a tattoo. That means an order with five free items needs to be picked up by five people with tattoos.

You know what to do. Gather all your inked pals and head to Chipotle today for a feast.

Apple MacBook Neo is not only cheaper than other Macs, its also easier to repair

Fri, 03/13/2026 - 13:14

Apple's MacBook Neo is the company's cheapest laptop by far, but according to a new report, it may also be both easier and cheaper to repair than other Macs.

Ars Technica dug into Apple's official Neo repair documentation, and came away with good news: The MacBook Neo is more modular, and easier to repair than other modern MacBooks.

For example, the battery should be easy to replace, with just some shielding and cables in the way. The keyboard is a separate component, meaning it should be possible to replace it independently.

In contrast, a new MacBook Air has the keyboard integrated into the top part of the laptop, making it near-impossible to replace independently. As a result, fixing the keyboard on a MacBook Air or a Pro will likely be far more expensive than on a MacBook Neo.

Ars Technica's findings are supported by actual teardowns of the MacBook Neo. YouTube channel Tech Re-Nu has disassembled the MacBook Neo and found that it has an extremely simple internal design with a removable battery and lots of modular parts, including the USB-C ports, speakers, and headphone jack.

SEE ALSO: MacBook Neo: Here's everything reviewers didn’t like

This is great news for MacBook Neo customers, who are likely to be very cost-sensitive when it comes to repairs. If you purchase a laptop for $599, you definitely don't want to spend half the amount or more to fix its keyboard.

Peaky Blinders: An Immortal Man is the ending Cillian Murphy and Steven Knight always wanted

Fri, 03/13/2026 - 13:10

For 13 years, Peaky Blinders has been quietly building a massive fandom. It's one of the best shows you've probably never seen. As Proma Khosla put it in her Mashable article, "Everyone I’ve ever talked to about the BBC period drama has either never even heard the name, or is obsessed with it."

Even the creator of the show, Steven Knight, is astonished at the "Peaky Blinders" fandom. When Knight visited our Say More studio to speak with Executive Producer Mark Stetson about the new film Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man, he told stories of rap stars Snoop Dogg and A$AP Rocky demanding to meet him to tell them how much they loved the show. His meeting with A$AP Rocky ended up leading to a once-in-a-lifetime Christmas dinner at Knight's house!

Bringing an epic and beloved story like Peaky Blinders to a close had to be done in a manner that not only honored the characters but also the loyal audience. Luckily, Knight knew from the very beginning how this story would end: "I always wanted to finish this part of the 'Peaky' story with a film in the Second World War." He wanted the full story to span from post-World War 1 to World War 2 to show how those wars affected the often forgotten working class in England.

Don’t miss out on our latest stories: Add Mashable as a trusted news source in Google.

Tommy Shelby (played by Cillian Murphy) is the head of the Peaky Blinders, the pivotal character of the series with a fashion sense rivaled only by the American gangsters of the 1900s. We find him at the start of Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man having separated himself from the family and the life he once knew. In the conversation with Stetson, Murphy, Knight and co-star Barry Keoghan talk about the incredible moment in the film where Tommy dusts off his legendary suit and becomes the superhero we all remember from the first six seasons of the series.

"He's like Batman," Knight exclaimed.

"Even I was cheering, and you were coming to get me," said Keoghan.

Murphy talks about figuring out the right moment to get Tommy back into his Peaky Blinders kit: "It's like drawing back the bow, and how long do you keep it taut before you let it go? And then when we let it off, the audience loved it."

(Watch the full Steven Knight interview on Mashable's YouTube channel.)

Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man will stream on Netflix starting March 20.

Since it’s also an OLED display, you’re getting the deeper blacks and punchier contrasts that help pricier panels stand apart from standard LCD options.

LG boasts that this monitor has VESA DisplayHDR True Black 400 support, a 1.5M:1 contrast ratio, and up to 98.5% DCI-P3 color coverage, which should translate to richer visuals across both games and streaming content.

In its standard mode, it can run 4K at up to 165Hz, but LG also includes a Dual Mode option that lets you switch to Full HD at up to 330Hz when you want a faster edge in competitive shooters like Fortnite or MOBAs like League of Legends. With a 0.03ms response time, NVIDIA G-SYNC compatibility, and AMD FreeSync Premium Pro, it’s clearly designed to keep motion smooth when the gameplay action starts getting hectic.

If you’re willing to spend a bit more on an LG monitor, the 39-inch curved version of the UltraGear is on sale for under $900. As for other brands, Amazon has also knocked $300 off the 32-inch Samsung OLED M9 smart monitor
