3 great Prime Video documentaries to watch this weekend (March 6 - 8)
Prime Video might not have the ever-rotating roster of documentaries and docuseries that Netflix has, but with a little digging, you can find some unique and quirky options that are worth your time without feeling like homework, like some docs can.
Google opens the door to OpenClaw and other AI agents with new release
OpenClaw has taken the AI industry by storm over the past few months, inspiring a new AI term for personal AI agents — claws. It's now so popular that even Google can't ignore it.
If you're a Google Workspace user, Google has now released a command-line interface (CLI) that officially gives developers a way to integrate third-party AI agents like OpenClaw into the Workspace platform. This means that OpenClaw and other AI assistants can connect to a user's Google Workspace services such as Gmail and Google Drive.
Google published the Google Workspace CLI on Github just days ago alongside specific documentation on how to integrate OpenClaw. The documentation also includes guidance on how to connect MCP (Model Context Protocol) compatible apps such as the Claude Desktop app and the Gemini CLI.
As PCWorld noted, OpenClaw and similar claws could already connect to Google Workspace. However, this involved workarounds and the use of multiple APIs to integrate AI assistants into Google's services and platforms.
While the Google CLI is an official Google release, the company shared that it's “not an officially supported Google product" and is more for developer use than the average Google user.
Still, this is a notable move from Google. It's a first step in Google basically embracing claws and giving developers a legitimate way to integrate them into their Google Workspace account.
OpenClaw went viral earlier this year and basically became the standard-bearer for agentic AI tools. Last month, OpenAI hired OpenClaw's founder Peter Steinberger, who joined the company with a goal "to build an agent that even my mum can use."

This book taught me 6 must-know facts about Linux
The Art of Unix Programming (TAoUP), by Eric S. Raymond, is not a tutorial or how-to book. Instead, it is a book about the history and philosophy of Unix. But no other book has had a greater influence on my approach to Linux and macOS, or my everyday use of it. Here are just a few of the things it has taught me.
OpenWrt’s latest update adds a piece of Alpine Linux
The popular open-source firmware for routers and other networking equipment, OpenWrt, just released a new major update. OpenWrt 25.12 is now available after “over one year” of development, with new features and more supported devices.
3 Netflix documentaries to watch this weekend (March 6 - 8)
By the end of the week, my brain is usually running on fumes, and I need some stimulation to fill it up again. Something cool and interesting I can use to spark a conversation with my friends or someone in line at the supermarket. Netflix's documentary shelf is basically a library for that.

One of my toxic traits is that I can't stand "ruining" the overall feel of my living space with ugly tech (big black boxes, long soundbars, etc.). Cords and all their friends can eff right off. Fortunately, there are some brands that cater to my specific strain of weird, like Marshall. It's been making audio equipment that doubles as decor for years, and right now you can get one of its most ~aesthetic~ Bluetooth speakers for $80 off.
As of March 6, you can get the Marshall Woburn III Bluetooth Home Speaker for $499.99, down from $579.99, at Amazon. That's a 14% discount or $80 savings. This isn't the absolute lowest we've seen it go for, but it is the lowest price it's been in 90 days.
SEE ALSO: Samsung debuts smart home speaker that looks like a giant eyeWhile we've historically named the slightly smaller Marshall Emberton III the speaker with the "Best Design" on the market, the Woburn III takes that iconic, stripped-back vintage-amp look and scales it up for your home. (I actually play guitar, so I LOVE this look.) It features next-generation Bluetooth technology and is built sustainably using 70 percent recycled plastics and vegan materials.
It's a plug-in unit that delivers 150 watts to produce what Marshall calls a "home-shaking" signature sound. Plus, it's incredibly versatile — you can connect directly via Bluetooth, or hook it up to your TV or record player using the HDMI, RCA, or 3.5 mm inputs.
Ridiculous TV deals to shop this weekend: Save up to $5,000 on Samsung, LG, and Sony
Not all TVs are created equal. If you've decided to go all in on a fancy TV, we've found a few options that will ease the blow to your bank account. That's not to say they're cheap — these TVs carry steep (dare I say ridiculous) price tags. But a deal is a deal, right?
Whether you're looking for a TV you can watch outdoors, a truly massive screen, or a gorgeous display that's great for gaming, we've rounded up the top three TV deals heading into this weekend. Several other sizes of each of these TVs are also on sale, so be sure to click through on the product pages for more details.

A specialized TV designed for outdoor viewing, Samsung's The Terrace is in a class of its own. Even in bright daylight, this 75-inch QLED 4K TV will look sharp and cut through the glare. So you can watch sports while tending to your garden or catch up on your favorite shows while enjoying some sunshine. It also boasts an IP56 weatherproof rating to protect it from rain and dust. It's truly the ultimate patio upgrade. There's only a few left in stock, so if you're in the market and can afford it, we recommend adding it to your cart ASAP.
Opens in a new window Credit: Sony Sony 83-inch Bravia XR A80L QLED 4K TV $3,498 at Amazon$4,999.99 Save $1,501.99 Get Deal Why we like it
Sony's 83-inch Bravia XR A80L is an older model from 2023, but it's still a great pick — especially since it's currently over $1,500 off. Mashable's UK team named it one of the best TVs for gaming, particularly for PS5. It boasts features like Auto HDR Tone Mapping, Auto Genre Picture Mode, Variable Refresh Rate, Auto Low Latency Mode, and a dedicated gaming menu for customization. It's also selling out quick, with only a few left in stock at Amazon at the time of writing. In other words, act fast if you want to secure the deal.
Opens in a new window Credit: LG LG 97-inch G5 evo AI OLED 4K TV $19,996.99 at Amazon$24,996.99 Save $5,000 Get Deal Why we like it
Mashable's sister site PCMag has tested hundreds of TVs with highly specialized equipment and named the LG G5 evo "one of the most gorgeous TVs you can buy." It's incredibly bright, with the wide and accurate colors, and a "phenomenal picture." It easily took home their Editors' Choice award for the best OLED TV last year. The one downfall? It's wildly expensive. This massive 97-inch LG G5 OLED TV is basically the price of a new car, but if you can afford it, it's actually on sale for its best price to date (believe it or not). We don't usually recommend buying from a third-party seller at Amazon, but it's technically $3 cheaper than Best Buy and LG's website, making it the best deal.
Before touchscreens became the standard, BMW, Saab, and Lexus got it right
According to the J.D. Power 2025 U.S. Initial Quality Study, infotainment touchscreens are the study's most problematic category, with consumers expressing a general dislike for what is sometimes described as “infotainment creep.” JD Power’s annual study, released in June 2025, analyzed responses from nearly 93,000 purchasers and lessees of new 2025 model-year vehicles who were surveyed after 90 days of ownership.
GPT 5.4 arrives on ChatGPT: 5 improvements to know
OpenAI dropped GPT‑5.4 this week, and the company said ChatGPT power users should notice improvements right away. The launch comes just days after the launch of GPT-5.3 Instant, a more conversational model geared toward everyday users.
OpenAI wrote that GPT-5.4 is the "most capable and efficient frontier model for professional work." So, obviously, GPT-5.4 is designed for professionals and developers. The company also announced the launch of GPT-5.4 Thinking and GPT‑5.4 Pro, aimed at people who want peak performance.
Here are three improvements that OpenAI made.
Improved efficiencyOpenAI said that GPT-5.4 operates more efficiently than ever.
It wrote that it was the company's "most token-efficient reasoning model yet, using significantly fewer tokens to solve problems when compared to GPT‑5.2, translating to reduced token usage and faster speeds." Basically, that means GPT-5.4 can solve problems and deliver answers with fewer tokens.
Better at doing real-world tasksOpenAI said that the new model was far more capable of completing real-world tasks related to knowledge work.
Wrote OpenAI: "On GDPval, which tests agents’ abilities to produce well-specified knowledge work across 44 occupations, GPT‑5.4 achieves a new state of the art, matching or exceeding industry professionals in 83.0% of comparisons, compared to 70.9% for GPT‑5.2."
In other words, it's capable of doing a lot of people's jobs reasonably well.
Improved accuracyOpenAI claimed that GPT-5.4 cut down on mistakes. Compared with GPT-5.2, OpenAI said the model is 33 percent less likely to make false claims and its claims were 18 percent less likely to contain any errors, according to OpenAI.
More flexible approach to thinking
Instead of simply giving GPT-5.4 a prompt and letting it do its thing, you can course-correct the model as it goes.
"In ChatGPT, GPT‑5.4 Thinking can now provide an upfront plan of its thinking, so you can adjust course mid-response while it’s working, and arrive at a final output that’s more closely aligned with what you need without additional turns."
ChatGPT for Excel add-inEnterprise customers can also use GPT-5.4 with a new OpenAI plugin, the ChatGPT for Excel add-in. per OpenAI, the latest models will be more capable of creating and analyzing spreadsheets.
How to try GPT-5.4As per usual, the new model starts rolling out today. It will be available in ChatGPT, Codex, and via the API. For this release, you'll need a paid ChatGPT subscription to use the new models, at least, for now.
You can read OpenAI's full blog post about the launch at the company's website.
Disclosure: Ziff Davis, Mashable’s parent company, in April 2025 filed a lawsuit against OpenAI, alleging it infringed Ziff Davis copyrights in training and operating its AI systems.
LELO quietly launched a new genderless butt plug today, and it looks absolutely delicious
LELO, the super luxe sex toy brand known for its designer vibrators, just released a unisex butt plug called the Surfer 2. (The OG Surfer is a prostate massager designed specifically for P-spot stimulation, and you can still buy it.) This reimagined anal plug is designed for all bodies and skill levels.
The new LELO Surfer 2 is a gorgeous, genderless vibrating butt plug designed to take your backdoor play from "OK" to "Oh, OK!" Credit: LELOIf you’ve yet to experience just how transformative a vibrating butt plug (or honestly, any butt plug) can feel while you’re getting saucy with a partner or yourself, I highly recommend changing that ASAP. According to data shared by LELO, 44 percent of people who don’t currently practice anal play would actually like to, but their concerns outweigh their curiosity. I get the hesitation, but a good butt plug can take a session from "OK" to "Oh, OK!" in a matter of seconds. Quick warning, though: If you’re having P-in-V intercourse while wearing this, your partner may come a lot quicker than expected.
SEE ALSO: I've tested 100+ sex toys. Here are the 15 most mind-blowing toys I've ever owned.The Surfer 2 is medium-sized and features eight intensities and four modes, plus two exclusive app modes if you’re feeling adventurous and want to let your partner take over. Of course, it’s waterproof and USB-rechargeable. You’ll get two hours on a single charge (it also auto-shuts off every 20 minutes, so things don't get too intense), and it comes in cyber purple or black.
At $119, it's a bit of an investment, but a high-end silicone butt plug from a luxury brand never loses its worth. If you can’t quite stomach the price right now, LELO is still offering up to 40% off select toys across its site, and you’ll also score a free LELO Dot Travel on any order over $199.

Stop trusting a fresh Windows install: Why you must manually verify TRIM and SSD write-caching
Reinstalling Windows is a clean slate for your PC. Most of us only do it when we have to, but some friends of mine just treat it as regular PC maintenance. One way or another, it is one of the most common steps in troubleshooting a PC that doesn't seem to be doing so well.
Tinder must pay $60.5 million in class-action settlement. Are you eligible?
If you purchased a Tinder subscription in California around 10 years ago, you might be eligible for settlement money.
In 2015, Tinder user Allan Candelore sued the dating app, claiming that it charged older users more than younger users for the premium subscriptions Tinder Plus and Tinder Gold. The complaint alleged that Tinder violated California's Unruh Civil Rights Act and Unfair Competition Law.
SEE ALSO: All your Tinder questions, answeredTinder denies any wrongdoing or violation of the law. But now, over ten years later, Tinder has agreed to settle Candelore v. Tinder, Inc. and pay eligible users $60.5 million in the class-action settlement.
Here's who is eligible for this money, according to the class action notice: Purchasers of Tinder Plus or Tinder Gold in California at any time on or after March 2, 2015, who were over the age of 29. Or, purchasers of Plus or Gold in California at any time after March 2, 2016, who were over the age of 28. Those who paid more for the subscriptions will get a bigger payout.
The deadline to opt out of the settlement or object to it is April 8, and the deadline to choose a payment method is August 18. In the meantime, the final approval hearing will be on May 20.
According to ClassAction.org, around 268,000 California Tinder users are covered by the settlement. You can learn more about the settlement and whether you're entitled to money at the settlement website.
A Tinder spokesperson told Mashable:
After careful consideration, we determined that resolving this matter was the best path forward to remove uncertainty, reduce management distraction, and protect Tinder from financial risks associated with ongoing litigation. To be clear: this settlement is not an admission of guilt or liability. User trust remains foundational to our long-term success. We are committed to operating with transparency as we put this 11-year-old matter behind us and return our focus to executing on our mission.
UPDATE: Mar. 6, 2026, 1:03 p.m. EST This article was updated with a statement from a Tinder spokesperson.

If you're tired of shooting on your smartphone and want to start taking your video production a little more seriously, Panasonic just dropped a deal on one of the best mirrorless cameras out there.
SEE ALSO: The best camera drones for aerial photographyAs of March 6, you can get the Panasonic LUMIX GH7 Mirrorless Camera for $1,797.99, down from $2,199.99, at Amazon. That's an 18% discount or $402 savings. It's also the best price we've tracked on this model (and the lowest price Amazon's listed it for in 30 days). Fair warning: As of writing, Amazon shows five left in stock, so you'll want to move fast.
Over on the r/Lumix subreddit, videographers say the GH7 is an "Underrated Cinema Camera Champion." Camera snobs love to get hung up on the fact that it uses a Micro Four Thirds sensor instead of a massive full-frame one, but real professionals couldn't care less. One user, who owns a high-end Sony Venice 2 alongside their GH7, pointed out that if you use the same lens and lighting, "you would not be able to tell the difference" between the two.
As for the actual specs, the GH7 features Apple ProRes RAW internal recording and supports 32-bit float recording (if you use the DMW-XLR2 adaptor), which is a fancy way of saying you won't have to stress about adjusting your audio levels while you're rolling. And if you're making content for TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube all at once, you will love the Open Gate feature — it lets you shoot in multiple aspect ratios for all platforms in a single shot.
