In a joint effort between Minnesota lawmakers, local law enforcement, and the Department of Commerce, legislation has been introduced to ban crypto ATMs across the state in response to widespread fraud and financial abuse, particularly of the elderly. 

Bill HF3642, sponsored by Rep. Erin Koegel, would prohibit the use of virtual currency kiosks or "crypto ATMs," that also accept cash and debit cards, in response to 70 official complaints of financial fraud totalling over $540,000 in 2025.

The catalyst for the legislation was a single incident in which police officers responded to a call about a senior citizen who appeared confused at a gas station cryptocurrency kiosk. Upon further investigation, police discovered that she had been giving 50 percent of her monthly income to scammers, leaving her on the verge of having to live out of her car.  

According to law enforcement, the scammers often target the elderly, using false identities and emotional stories to gain power over them and coerce them into parting with their pensions or retirement savings. 

For scammers, the appeal of cryptocurrency is obvious, since converting digital currency into cryptocurrency makes it all but impossible for law enforcement to trace the money and make an arrest. But cryptocurrency platforms are opposing the ban, arguing that they’re being unfairly punished.

Larry Lipka, in-house counsel at digital currency platform CoinFlip, acknowledges the problem but opposes the proposed legislation.

"The scammers are vigilant. They’re terrible, and they’re stealing from Americans," he told Gizmodo before arguing that their existing safety protocols, which include transaction limits and a holding period, were sufficient protection. "I know that these tools work because we’ve got 8,000 customers in the state, we have 12,000 transactions that happened in the last year and less than 1% of those were refundable by customers."

The Commerce Department, however, disagrees. Sam Smith, government relations director at the Department of Commerce, points to the fact that just 48% of consumer complaints resulted in a refund, while those refunds averaged just 16% of the total fraud amount, as evidence that additional legislation is necessary.

As of now, approximately 350 licensed cryptocurrency kiosks operate in Minnesota, but digital currency companies across the United States could be affected by the legal precedent this bill sets. 

Welcome to your guide to Pips, the latest game in the New York Times catalogue.

Released in August 2025, the Pips puts a unique spin on dominoes, creating a fun single-player experience that could become your next daily gaming habit.

Currently, if you're stuck, the game only offers to reveal the entire puzzle, forcing you to move onto the next difficulty level and start over. However, we have you covered! Below are piecemeal answers that will serve as hints so that you can find your way through each difficulty level.

How to play Pips

If you've ever played dominoes, you'll have a passing familiarity for how Pips is played. As we've shared in our previous hints stories for Pips, the tiles, like dominoes, are placed vertically or horizontally and connect with each other. The main difference between a traditional game of dominoes and Pips is the color-coded conditions you have to address. The touching tiles don't necessarily have to match.

SEE ALSO: Wordle today: Answer, hints for March 1, 2026

The conditions you have to meet are specific to the color-coded spaces. For example, if it provides a single number, every side of a tile in that space must add up to the number provided. It is possible – and common – for only half a tile to be within a color-coded space.

Here are common examples you'll run into across the difficulty levels:

• Number: All the pips in this space must add up to the number.

• Equal: Every domino half in this space must be the same number of pips.

• Not Equal: Every domino half in this space must have a completely different number of pips.

• Less than: Every domino half in this space must add up to less than the number.

• Greater than: Every domino half in this space must add up to more than the number.

If an area does not have any color coding, it means there are no conditions on the portions of dominoes within those spaces.

Each puzzle features 16 words and each grouping of words is split into four categories. These sets could comprise of anything from book titles, software, country names, etc. Even though multiple words will seem like they fit together, there's only one correct answer.

If a player gets all four words in a set correct, those words are removed from the board. Guess wrong and it counts as a mistake — players get up to four mistakes until the game ends.

In the battle for AI supremacy, Anthropic’s Claude has just managed to dethrone OpenAI’s ChatGPT in Apple’s App Store, claiming the #1 spot as the most-downloaded free app in the United States, leaving ChatGPT in second and Google’s Gemini a distant fourth.

This sudden surge in the rankings is almost certainly due to public backlash at a recent announcement by OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, released on X, that they would work with the Department of Defense (unofficially titled the Department of War) to deploy artificial intelligence through its classified networks.

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

This announcement comes on the heels of a public stand by Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei against the unrestricted use of AI by governments, in which he specifically highlighted the dangers of both "mass domestic surveillance" and "fully autonomous weapons" powered by AI.

While much of the general public, nervous about the speed and scope of AI’s sudden prominence, viewed this as a principled stand, President Donald Trump saw it as a rebuke of government policy: "The Leftwing nut jobs at Anthropic have made a DISASTROUS MISTAKE trying to STRONG-ARM the Department of War, and force them to obey their Terms of Service instead of our Constitution," he wrote in a Truth Social post.  

SEE ALSO: Trump orders Pentagon to stop using 'woke' Anthropic in fiery Truth social post

The Trump administration, acting through Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, has since sought to designate Anthropic as a "supply-chain risk to national security," an unprecedented label for an American company and a move that would make it impossible for them to secure government contracts in the future.

In a cross-company show of support for Anthropic’s stance, more than 700 employees of both Google and OpenAI have signed an open letter, "We Will Not Be Divided," that concludes forcefully:

"We hope our leaders will put aside their differences and stand together to continue to refuse the Department of War's current demands for permission to use our models for domestic mass surveillance and autonomously killing people without human oversight."

More recently, and as proof that the average person is sensitive to these ethical issues, the general public is weighing in as well, shifting their loyalty from ChatGPT to Claude. To put this shift into perspective, an Anthropic spokesperson told Mashable over email that free users up 60%+ since January, daily signups tripled since November (breaking the all-time record every day this week), and paid subscribers more than doubled this year." Per the spokesperson, Anthropic ranked #42 before Super Bowl LX and has since ranked in the top 10 in the US app charts.

With the AI revolution still in full swing, the battle for its soul is still being fought, and this latest flare-up proves that the average person still has leverage.

Disclosure: Ziff Davis, Mashable’s parent company, in April filed a lawsuit against OpenAI, alleging it infringed Ziff Davis copyrights in training and operating its AI systems.

At this year's MWC in Barcelona, Honor showcased its first-ever AI-powered humanoid robot. And how do you know a robot is any good these days? Of course, by its ability do dance!

This being Honor's first robot, and having seen numerous botched robot launches recently, I wasn't sure what to expect. Honor's robot managed to surprise by being quite a dancer, performing a live act next to actual human dancers on stage in Barcelona.

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

After a short chat with Honor's Robot phone, which didn't feel weird at all, the robot walked out just as elegantly as it walked in. Pretty impressive for Honor's first try.

Of course, we don't know if the robot was acting autonomously or whether it was remotely controlled by a human. We also don't know any of its specs, or when it might turn into a real product.

The thing about robots, though, that it's pretty hard to fake them; one little mistake and it could stumble off stage. Honor's did a great job today; we'll see how it develops over time.

At this point, anything President Donald Trump does feels like it’s already been workshopped in the Saturday Night Live writers’ room. The line between satire and reality is practically gone at this point.

This week, with global tensions spiking, the Cold Open returned to familiar territory: James Austin Johnson behind a podium, doing his uncanny Trump, explaining why the United States launched attacks on Iran.

“What is war good for?" Johnson’s Trump begins. "Distracting from the Epstein files."

Subtle, it is not.

The broadcast aired just hours after the United States, in coordination with Israel, launched strikes on Iranian military targets. This then prompted retaliatory attacks, and what Vox describes as the start to a "far-reaching and open-ended war."

Colin Jost’s Pete Hegseth then entered the Cold Open to blaring patriotic rock, brimming with Fox News bravado. "Don’t let my confident demeanor fool you,” Jost’s Hegseth declared. “I’m scared and don’t know what I’m doing."

Saturday Night Live host Connor Storrie and cast member Mikey Day get off to a deeply improper start in this delightfully dramatic, Victorian-era, Bridgerton-coded sketch.

The offense starts with Storrie casually implying — in front of Day’s beau and a gathering of tightly wound aristocrats — that Day is, in fact, quite bad at croquet. Naturally, this grave insult can only be resolved the way gentlemen of the era intended: by slapping each other senseless with gloves.

What begins as a dainty challenge quickly devolves into an increasingly unhinged exchange of theatrical glove-smacks, escalating in both volume and pettiness. But the real fun arrives in the form of Kenan Thompson, who makes it abundantly clear that while Regency-era nobles may tolerate a light face tap, he absolutely does not.

After several people catch an unexpected right hook for their troubles, the dispute ends with honor restored and Storrie "beshatting" himself and conceding defeat.

A very good time all around — and bonus points to the makeup department for those aggressively committed sideburns. Good lord.

Honor brought its Robot Phone concept to Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, giving us a first close look at the device.

Honor calls the Robot Phone a "new species" of smartphone that combines "embodied AI interaction with robot-grade motion and cinematic imaging capabilities." No, that doesn't make the concept any clearer.

Having seen it in person, I can tell you that it is, indeed, still a smartphone. It has a robotic arm that springs out of the back, carrying a 200-megapixel camera with it. Once it's out, the arm functions as a gimbal, allowing the camera eye to move around freely in all three dimensions.

This could be useful for certain types of tasks in photography and videography, but Honor seems to be equally as interested in using the camera/eye to give the phone personality. Yeah, it can nod at you, or perform other gestures that really do turn the entire thing into a robot of sorts.

The gimbal arm required the world's smallest micro motor. Credit: Stan Schroeder/Mashable

Some actual use cases, besides it looking pretty darn cool, include video calls in which the camera eye follows you around as you move, baby monitoring, and yes, dancing to the music.

Some of the units I've seen up close were asleep, with the robotic eye gently nodding, as if it were breathing. One was tracking the crowd and answering questions, responding either with a nod or a shake.

On stage, during a demonstration of Honor's first-ever humanoid robot, the Robot Phone had a simple interaction with its human-sized counterpart, in accordance with Honor's vision of connecting its gadget ecosystem via AI.

We weren't allowed to touch the device, but it did seem pretty close to a finished product. Honor says it created the world's smallest micro motor for that robotic arm, and I can attest that it seemed quite lively, though we weren't shown how long it takes for it to unfold.

There's no word on when the Robot Phone will be available as an actual product you can buy. For now, it's an interesting take on a smartphone, though we'd really need to spend more time with it to see how useful the robotic part really is.

If you’ve ever wondered what hell looks like, apparently it’s getting your marriage proposal rejected while three grown men behind you at an ice rink are having the absolute time of their lives.

That’s the premise of this week’s Saturday Night Live sketch, which features Heated Rivalry heartthrob Connor Storrie as one-third of a blissed-out trio living their best frozen-water fantasy. The only person not vibing was Tommy Brennan’s character, who’s just been publicly denied and cannot — cannot — stop watching the dudes behind him.

"I’ve never seen grown men have such genuine, pure fun," Brennan laments, staring past his crumbling relationship and directly into what appears to be the world’s most euphoric bro-bonding session. Things spiral further when the trio shouts that this is the "best bachelor party ever," which is... not the energy you want wafting over your failed proposal.

It was only a matter of time before SNL found a way to get Storrie on skates, but the loudest reaction of the night didn’t come from the rink. It came from a surprise guest appearance from co-star Hudson Williams, who had the crowd losing it.

A free tuna melt to anyone who guessed that one correctly.

TCL has finally released its RayNeo Air 4 Pro smart glasses, alongside two limited-edition Batman-themed models. These AR glasses are the world's first smart glasses with an HDR display, and they're designed for watching movies and playing video games. While most smart glasses are priced at $500 or more, the new RayNeo AR glasses are priced at $299, which could shake up this emerging market.

On top of that, early buyers can also save $50 when they purchase the glasses from TCL or Amazon, bringing the price to $249 for a limited time.

When TCL showed off its RayNeo Air 4 Pro smart glasses at CES 2026, I was impressed, and I wrote at the time that competitors like Xreal should be worried. Despite the relatively affordable price tag, the glasses have super-bright OLED displays that support HDR10, something never seen before in smart glasses. TCL describes them as "head-mounted TVs," and that's what they feel like.

I've been testing the glasses over the past few weeks, and overall, I'm still impressed, despite their quirks. Like other AR glasses, you connect them to a compatible laptop, smartphone, or gaming device via the included USB-C cable.

The RayNeo Air 4 Pro smart glasses launched today. The base version is priced at $299, but TCL also released two limited-edition, Batman versions of the glasses, the Limited Justice and Limited Chaos Editions. The Batman glasses come with additional accessories like a Batman cowl that attaches to the frames; they have an MSRP of $319, though they're also discounted at launch to $269.

Using a Vision 4000 processor and dual OLED displays, the Air 4 Pro glasses can create a virtual screen up to 201 inches in size. I wore them to watch Mad Max: Fury Road and The Hobbit (not to mention countless YouTube videos), and the display is gorgeous.

The RayNeo Air 4 Pro smart glasses have an impressive list of specs. While they're priced like a pair of budget smart glasses, they have a premium display.

• Style: Augmented reality smart glasses

• Display: 0.6-inch micro-OLED display

• Screen size: 201 inches

• Brightness: Up to 1,200 nits

• Resolution: 1920x1080 (3840x1080 for 3D)

• Refresh rate: Up to 120 Hz

• Color accuracy: ΔE

• Sound: Bang & Olufsen surround sound (4 speakers)

If you're an early adopter looking to try out AR glasses, it's hard to argue with the $299 price tag. For reference, Xreal recently launched a more affordable version of its glasses called the Xreal 1S, priced at $449.

There's no doubt that the RayNeo Air 4 Pro smart glasses have a better display. The Xreal 1S has a peak brightness of 700 nits, compared to 1,200 with the RayNeo. In addition, the micro-OLED displays on the Air 4 Pro are noticeably more vibrant, ideal for watching movies and gaming.

However, before you get too excited, Xreal glasses still have some big advantages. First off, Xreal can project much larger virtual screens. You can also control the screen distance and angle for optimum viewing, and set the display to anchor in a specific spot in your eyeline or move with your head. There's no anchor feature with the RayNeo glasses.

If you're looking for AR glasses that can be used as a productivity tool, giving you an extra screen while you work, then Xreal is by far the better choice. But for entertainment, the Air 4 Pros are going to be hard to beat, especially for the price. If money is no object, then check out the ROG Xreal R1 AR Gaming Glasses.

I got to try a ton of awesome smart glasses at CES 2026, and one of the most exciting pairs is finally available. On Friday, TCL launched the new RayNeo Air 4 Pro AR/XR glasses for $299 (early shoppers can save $50 at launch), which boast dual Micro-OLED displays for watching movies and playing games.

These smart glasses are the world's first to offer support for HDR10, and they can create a virtual screen up to 201 inches in size. They're also noticeably brighter and more vivid than other smart glasses I've tried, including the popular Xreal One Pro AR glasses, which I've tested and enjoyed. The Xreal One Pro glasses cost $650, and the cheapest competitors have a starting price of $499. As I wrote at the time, with a boundary-breaking display and a $299 price tag, the RayNeo Air 4 Pro seemed all set to completely disrupt this emerging market.

But there's a reason we don't write reviews after a short demo at CES. After spending more time with the RayNeo Air 4 Pro, they're not quite as big a threat to Xreal as I first thought.

Still, it's hard to argue with $299 smart glasses that feature a gorgeous micro-OLED display. For gaming and watching movies, the RayNeo Air 4 Pro are currently the best smart glasses on the market.

The Air 4 Pro are augmented reality glasses that connect to a smartphone, laptop, gaming handheld, or other device. Simply plug them into any compatible device, and they should start to work immediately — no setup required. You do have to stay connected at all times via the included USB-C cable, but you don't have to worry about battery life, which is nice.

Using dual micro-OLED displays, smart glasses like this create a virtual screen that floats in the space in front of you. If you're plugged into a laptop, it will act as a second monitor. On a smartphone, it mirrors your display. While spatial computing gadgets like this are often designed for enhanced productivity, the RayNeo Air 4 Pro were specifically designed for entertainment.

As TCL puts it in a press release, "RayNeo Air 4 Pro is like a television you can wear on your head...With Air 4 Pro, you can enjoy an IMAX-level private cinema in a crowded subway, a large-screen working environment during business trips, or an immersive gaming experience during breaks — this is the revolutionary experience brought by RayNeo Air 4 Pro."

The OLED displays support HDR10 and have two refresh rate options, 60 Hz or 120 Hz.

Let's break down the specs before diving deeper into my full RayNeo Air 4 Pro review.

• Style: Augmented reality smart glasses

• Display: 0.6-inch micro-OLED display

• Screen size: 201 inches

• Brightness: Up to 1,200 nits

• Resolution: 1920x1080

• Refresh rate: 60 Hz, 120 Hz

• Color accuracy: ΔE

• Sound: Bang & Olufsen surround sound (4 speakers)

• Weight: 76 grams

In terms of fit and comfort, they're slightly lighter than Viture and Xreal glasses (though they're much heavier than display glasses like Even Realities G2). I haven't had any problems with comfort, though, because of my larger face size, the fit is a bit awkward. I have to fiddle to keep the whole virtual screen in sight.

I've spent quite a bit of time testing the Xreal One Pro smart glasses, widely regarded to be the best AR glasses on the market right now. However, in my experience, the One Pro are most useful when working on the go, such as at a coffee shop or airplane, when you need an extra display. But with the new RayNeo AR/XR glasses, TCL is prioritizing an advanced display and audio.

The sound is high quality for smart glasses, though obviously they compare poorly to the best wireless earbuds. I found they have minimal (but not non-existent) sound leakage. When watching movies, TV shows, and YouTube videos, I was happy with the sound. I did experience some technical issues, however. When connected to my MacBook, I could not get the RayNeo Air 4 Pro to play audio instead of the MacBook speakers. That could be an Apple problem, of course.

The display is still impressive. If you've tried other AR glasses, you should notice an immediate difference. Color accuracy, motion blur, sharpness, and brightness are noticeably better here, particularly brightness. While the new Xreal 1S AR glasses max out at 700 nits, the RayNeo offer 1,200 nits. They also provide built-in eye protection (3840Hz PWM dimming) so your eyes don't tire out.

However, it's not all rosy. I noticed a regular flicker effect when using the glasses, which was distracting. It wasn't so bad to render the glasses unusable, but it was a big pain point. I also found it difficult to get the entire display in my field of view, likely because I have a much larger head than the average person. You can adjust the angle of the lens to the frames and change out the nose guard, but sometimes the bottom of the screen would blur or disappear.

On the whole, you get a 201-inch virtual screen you can use to watch movies while traveling, lying in bed, or anytime you don't have access to a TV. It really is like having an OLED TV you can wear on your head.

Of course, that's also the $299 question: Do you want to wear an OLED TV on your face?

A beautiful display, but at a cost The TCL RayNeo Air 4 Pro glasses are missing some key features. Credit: Timothy Werth / Mashable

It wasn't apparent in my initial demo, but the new RayNeo glasses are missing some very important features. With my Xreal glasses, I can easily adjust the size of the virtual screen, the angle of the virtual screen, and the distance. I can also activate a curved, ultra-wide display mode. Most importantly, I can anchor the display so that it freezes in a particular part of my eyeline, no matter how much I turn my head.

This spatial computing trick is especially handy when working, as I can anchor the screen just above or to the side of my laptop. RayNeo's virtual display moves with you. You may also be distracted by some reflection on the back of the glasses, which hasn't been a problem with Xreal to date.

In its press materials and on its website, TCL also talks about an immersive 3D feature, which can turn 2D photos and videos into 3D. This doesn't appear to be available yet, however.

Xreal's 3D conversion feature is live, and it's pretty damn cool.

For early adopters eager to try AR glasses for entertainment, I think this is the best option on the market in 2026, at least, for now. But as I already discussed, they come with tradeoffs, and Xreal has a large advantage for productivity and advanced features like 3D conversion. (If money is no object, wait for the ROG Xreal R1 Gaming Glasses coming later this year.)

I should also note that smart glasses are a very new product category. The average customer is an early adopter and a techie who's OK with some bugs and quirks if it means they're on the cutting edge. I think it's an open question whether the market will ultimately settle on AR headsets like the Vision Pro and Galaxy XR, or on AR smart glasses (like the ones Google is releasing later this year, and that Apple is rumored to be building for 2027).

I guess what I'm trying to tell you is this: We're grading smart glasses on a curve. If you're not an early adopter, they may not be for you.

Honor's got a new foldable phone, and it's even thinner than the last one.

The company had its big unveiling in Barcelona, one day before the official start of this year's Mobile World Congress, and the key word was "slim." Oh, and also "AI," but you already knew that.

As part of MWC, which officially runs from March 2-5, Honor has revealed its Magic V6 phone, the MagicPad 4, and MagicBook Pro. We've gotten an up-close look at all of them, and there is a lot to like.

Honor Magic V6

The Honor Magic V6 is a foldable smartphone that's just 8.75mm thick when closed (for comparison, Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold 7 is slightly thicker at 8.9mm). It has a 7.95-inch, 2,352x2,172 pixel inner display, as well as a 6.52-inch, 2,420x1,080 pixel exterior display, both with a refresh rate of up to 120Hz. Yeah, that's a lot of pixels for your eyes to feast on. Thankfully, the phone comes with a bunch of Honor technologies to make both displays easier on the eyes, including anti-glare coating, dynamic dimming, and motion sickness relief.

The Magic V6 should be pretty durable thanks to a "super-strong" steel structure, as well as a nano-crystal shield protecting the displays (and also giving them anti-reflective properties). In fact, to prove how sturdy the phone is, Honor had a guy use it as a zipline link; check out the video below.

Inside, there's a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chip, 16GB of RAM, 512GB of storage, and a 6,660mAh silicon-carbon battery with 80W wired and 66W wireless charging.

The camera system on this one is pretty bonkers, too. The phone has a triple camera array, with a 50-megapixel main camera, a 64-megapixel periscope telephoto camera, and a 50-megapixel ultra-wide camera. You also get two 20-megapixel selfie cameras, one for each display.

Other features of note include stereo speakers and IP68/69 dust- and water-resistance rating.

On the AI side, you get Google Gemini, which should be embedded into numerous aspects of the phone. One interesting software aspects of this phone, which is a trend we're seeing a lot from Chinese manufacturers recently, is that it integrates well with Apple devices; you should, for example, be able to use an Apple Watch alongside this phone.

The Honor Magic V6 will be available in "select markets" in the second half of 2026. It will be available in four colors: Gold, Red, White, and Black; pricing will be determined later.

Honor MagicPad 4

Honor also brought the MagicPad 4, an impressively thin 12.3-inch tablet that measures just 4.8mm in thickness (for comparison, Apple's 13-inch iPad Pro is 5.1mm thick).

Do we need our tablets to be even thinner? Honor definitely thinks so. Credit: Honor

It's powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 chip, 12/16GB of RAM, 256/512GB of storage, and a massive 10,100mAh battery with 66W wired charging. Other highlights include refresh rate going up to 165Hz, eight speakers with spatial audio, and a 13-megapixel rear camera coupled with a 9-megapixel selfie camera.

Software-wise, the MagicPad 4 is powered by Honor's MagicOS 10 on top of Android 16.

There's no word on pricing or exact availability date for the Honor MagicPad 4. It will be available in two colors: Gray and White.

Honor MagicBook Pro 14

Finally, the company also unveiled the new Honor MagicBook Pro 14, a 14.6-inch laptop with a 120Hz, OLED touch display, a battery that should last 15.5 hours in normal office work, 100W fast charging, stereo speakers, and a 1,080p front camera.

It can be configured with a range of Intel chips, from Intel Core Ultra 5 to Intel Core Ultra X9, as well as several GPUs, including Intel Arc B370 and B390. It comes with either 24GB or 32GB of RAM and 1TB of storage.

In terms of connectivity, you get one USB-C port, two USB-A ports, a HDMI port, a memory card slot, and a 3.5mm headphone jack.

The Honor MagicBook Pro 14 will come with Windows 11 Home out of the box; there's no word on pricing and availability yet.

Oh, and Honor also brought a bunch of robotic gadgets which we cover in a separate article, including its first-ever humanoid robot, and the Honor Robot phone.

The NYT Connections puzzle today is not too difficult to solve if you're a frequent flyer.

Connections is the one of the most popular New York Times word games that's captured the public's attention. The game is all about finding the "common threads between words." And just like Wordle, Connections resets after midnight and each new set of words gets trickier and trickier—so we've served up some hints and tips to get you over the hurdle.

If you just want to be told today's puzzle, you can jump to the end of this article for today's Connections solution. But if you'd rather solve it yourself, keep reading for some clues, tips, and strategies to assist you.

The NYT's latest daily word game has become a social media hit. The Times credits associate puzzle editor Wyna Liu with helping to create the new word game and bringing it to the publications' Games section. Connections can be played on both web browsers and mobile devices and require players to group four words that share something in common.

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

Each puzzle features 16 words and each grouping of words is split into four categories. These sets could comprise of anything from book titles, software, country names, etc. Even though multiple words will seem like they fit together, there's only one correct answer.

If a player gets all four words in a set correct, those words are removed from the board. Guess wrong and it counts as a mistake—players get up to four mistakes until the game ends.

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

Players can also rearrange and shuffle the board to make spotting connections easier. Additionally, each group is color-coded with yellow being the easiest, followed by green, blue, and purple. Like Wordle, you can share the results with your friends on social media.

Today's NYT Strands hints are easy if you're not on. your best behavior.

Strands, the New York Times' elevated word-search game, requires the player to perform a twist on the classic word search. Words can be made from linked letters — up, down, left, right, or diagonal, but words can also change direction, resulting in quirky shapes and patterns. Every single letter in the grid will be part of an answer. There's always a theme linking every solution, along with the "spangram," a special, word or phrase that sums up that day's theme, and spans the entire grid horizontally or vertically.

By providing an opaque hint and not providing the word list, Strands creates a brain-teasing game that takes a little longer to play than its other games, like Wordle and Connections.

Originally created by engineer Josh Wardle as a gift for his partner, Wordle rapidly spread to become an international phenomenon, with thousands of people around the globe playing every day. Alternate Wordle versions created by fans also sprang up, including battle royale Squabble, music identification game Heardle, and variations like Dordle and Quordle that make you guess multiple words at once. 

Wordle eventually became so popular that it was purchased by the New York Times, and TikTok creators even livestream themselves playing.

The best Wordle starting word is the one that speaks to you. But if you prefer to be strategic in your approach, we have a few ideas to help you pick a word that might help you find the solution faster.

What happened to the Wordle archive?

The entire archive of past Wordle puzzles was originally available for anyone to enjoy whenever they felt like it, but it was later taken down, with the website's creator stating it was done at the request of the New York Times.

Xiaomi likes to bring cars to Barcelona; the company gave us the first glimpse of its SU7 Ultra supercar during last year's MWC in March.

This year, however, Xiaomi has unveiled something that's pretty far out there, even by its own standards. Called the Xiaomi Vision Gran Turismo, it's a hypercar that was designed to go really fast while slicing through the air in a way not many cars (or race cars, for that matter) can (Xiaomi says it's been "sculpted by the wind").

It feels kinda empty in there. Credit: Stan Schroeder/Mashable

The company will bring the concept car to its MWC show floor in Barcelona on March 2, presumably when we'll learn more about its powertrain, acceleration, battery, and other trivialities. Today, however, Xiaomi was mostly focused on how the air flows through the car, using a variety of wind tunnels and channels (and even a moving part on the car's bottom) to make it more efficient.

The wheels and wheel covers are special, too. Credit: Stan Schroeder/Mashable

Even the car's wheels have special covers that are (somehow) magnetically set in place so they don't rotate while the car moves, as that would also increase drag.

I bet your car doesn't have a cocoon-shaped sofa. Credit: Stan Schroeder/Mashable

Inside, it gets even nuttier. The seats are out; instead, you sit in a "cocoon-shaped sofa" with an x-wing steering wheel with five tiny displays, some of which apparently double as (contextual?) buttons. Most of the things you associate with a traditional car are gone; instead, it's you in that sofa-shaped cockpit, that steering wheel, and the road. The car's a two-seater, so don't expect to bring your family on a trip in this one.

Fortunately, you might be able to get a cocoon-shaped sofa/cockpit for your home. Credit: Stan Schroeder/Mashable

In fact, most people probably won't be able to afford a car like this, but Xiaomi's got you covered, as it plans to release a gaming console/cockpit shaped just like the car's cockpit, so you can race around in your own little cocoon in the relative safety of your home.

SEE ALSO: Xiaomi 17 Ultra hands-on: The cameraphone with a monstrous zoom

We don't know how fast it goes. We don't know where the batteries are, given that the car appears to be mostly wind tunnels under that cockpit. We don't know if it's ever going to make it to market. But boy, does it all look cool.

We'll hopefully find out more on March 2 when that show floor opens, so stay tuned for pics and videos.

We knew that Honor is about to bring its oddball Robot Phone to this year's Mobile World Congress in Barcelona.

What we didn't know, however, that the company is also bringing its first-ever AI-powered humanoid robot to the show.

SEE ALSO: MWC 2026: What to expect at the world's largest phone show

Honor announced the news on Monday via a teaser video on X, featuring both the Robot Phone and its robotic camera, and the unnamed humanoid robot.

"Something revolutionary is about to step out of the shadows. We’ve combined cutting-edge robotics with the ultimate mobile experience. The result? Something you have to see to believe," the company wrote in a tweet.

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

The video actually gives us a decent glimpse of the robot, which looks just like you'd expect: a humanoid clad in matte black with a glass face, and a light bar where its eyes should be (the robot also appears to have a single camera on its forehead). In another image (below), sent to Mashable by Honor, the robot is seen from the side.

Slightly odd head shape on this one, but we'll let it slide for now. Credit: Honor

Honor shared some details about the upcoming robot with Bloomberg. Apparently, the robot will be a "service robot" which should be able to help you out with shopping, among other tasks.

Other details are scarce, except that the robot will somehow be connected with Honor's Robot Phone, which will also be shown in Barcelona.

Mashable will be there to cover Honor's event in Barcelona, which kicks off at 7 a.m. ET on March 1, 2026, so stay tuned for more updates on the company's fast-expanding robotics portfolio of products.
