I have spent too much time searching for my keys, wallet, and TV remote, so I have learned the hard way that Bluetooth trackers are a must-have. Right now, you can grab a four-pack of Tile Mate trackers for $55.99 on Amazon, which is 30% off the usual price of $79.99. That is a solid deal if you want to keep track of your essentials without tearing your house apart every time something goes missing.

Each Tile Mate attaches to things like keys, bags, or even a water bottle, making them easy to find if they ever disappear. You can ring the tracker from your phone if you misplace something nearby. If your phone is the thing that has gone missing, you can press a button on the Tile Mate to make it ring, even when it is on silent.

These trackers have a 350-foot Bluetooth range and are IP68 water-resistant, which means they can handle rain or the occasional accidental drop in the sink. The built-in battery lasts up to three years, so you will not have to worry about recharging them.

The Tile Mate also works with Life360, so you can see your Tiles on the same map as your family members. If you are using it for personal safety, the SOS feature lets you discreetly send an alert to loved ones when you are in an unsafe situation.

This deal is for the black four-pack, but other colors and pack sizes are available if you prefer something different. If you constantly lose your things, do yourself a favor and grab this Amazon deal while they are on sale. It will save you from a lot of stress later.

SAVE OVER $14: As of Feb. 25, the Samsung Galaxy SmartTag2 is on sale for $15.96 at Amazon, down from $29.99. If you’re always misplacing your keys, wallet, or luggage, this tiny Bluetooth tracker will save you some serious stress.

I have a bad habit of losing literally everything, so when Bluetooth trackers first hit the market, they felt like they were designed specifically for me. Now, Samsung’s Galaxy SmartTag2 is on sale for just $15.96 on Amazon, which is the lowest price in the past 30 days. This deal is a no-brainer if you’re on Team Android and need a reliable way to track your stuff.

The SmartTag2 works with Samsung’s SmartThings Find, making it easy to track down your keys, wallet, or pet if you attach it to their collar. If you’ve misplaced something nearby, you can use Search Nearby mode to get a Compass View on your phone, giving you directions to its exact location. If you still can’t find it, ring the tag to make it beep like a lost phone.

Battery life lasts up to 500 days out of the box, which is ridiculous. Switching to Power Saving Mode can stretch that to nearly two years before replacing the battery. It’s also IP67-rated for water and dust resistance, so it won’t die on you if it gets a little wet.

Unlike some other trackers, the SmartTag2 also works as a remote for Samsung SmartThings devices. That means you can use it to turn on lights, activate smart home routines, or even control appliances with a press of a button. It’s a small bonus feature that makes it even more useful if you’re in the Samsung ecosystem.

This deal is on the white SmartTag2, but you can also grab the black one for $22.69 on Amazon too. If you constantly lose your stuff or want security while traveling, this is the cheapest way to prevent your things from disappearing.

AVAILABLE TODAY: As of Feb. 25, Pokémon TCG: Scarlet & Violet — Obsidian Flames six-pack booster bundle is available for $26.94 at Best Buy. This set includes some of the most sought-after Charizard ex cards, and it’s typically hard to find in stock.

I don’t know about you, but trying to find Obsidian Flames packs at retail price has been a nightmare. Best Buy is making it a little easier today by restocking this six-pack booster bundle for $26.94, but there’s a catch (get it?). You’ll need to grab it through the Best Buy app. It’s part of Best Buy Drops, which is their way of fighting off scalpers and bots that wipe out stock in seconds. As long as you have the app and notifications turned on, you’ll get access to the drop before it’s gone again.

If you’re into Charizard, this set is stacked. The Special Illustration Rare Charizard ex has been sitting at over $70 on the secondary market, making it the top chase card of the set. And then there’s the Hyper Rare Charizard ex, which is basically the same card but dipped in gold foil for extra bragging rights. Even the regular Ultra Rare Charizard ex holds value because, well, it’s Charizard.

Pidgeot ex is also popular for being super playable. Its Quick Search Ability lets you pull any card from your deck every turn, which is ridiculously good in competitive play. This is why Pidgeot ex keeps creeping up in price and why collectors and players are after it.

And let’s talk about Illustration Rares because this set has some absolute gems. The Scizor Illustration Rare is easily one of the best-looking Scizor cards ever printed, drenched in deep red that makes it look straight-up deadly. The Ninetales Illustration Rare has this surreal, glowing forest background that makes it feel almost mythical. And for the first time ever, Gloom gets a full-art card, and it’s actually a masterpiece. The explosion of colors and nature surrounding it make it feel alive in a way that most Pokémon cards don’t.

The thing about Obsidian Flames is that it doesn’t have a ton of Secret Rares, so your odds of pulling something good are way better compared to sets like Paldea Evolved. If you’re looking for a shot at Charizard ex, this is one of the best ways to get your hands on some packs at retail price. But these Best Buy Drops go fast, so if you want in, make sure you’re set up in the app before it disappears again.

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.

A convincing majority of Americans remain “afraid” to ride in self-driving vehicles, according to a survey released today by AAA.

A January survey of 1,095 people found that 61 percent do not trust self-driving vehicles (that survey question didn’t differentiate between semi-autonomous cars, like some Tesla models, and fully autonomous cars, like Waymo robotaxis). Conversely, 13 percent trust self-driving vehicles and 26 percent are unsure of their safety.

SEE ALSO: Robot, take the wheel: What you need to know about autonomous vehicles rolling out across the U.S.

While the percentage of those who remain scared of self-driving vehicles dropped from last year’s findings, which was 66 percent, 2025’s results represent a 7 percent increase in those frightened of using the technology from when AAA’s first self-driving survey was conducted in 2021. 

AAA also queried its panel specifically on robotaxis, finding that 74 percent knew that self-driving rideshare cars were available in certain cities, yet 53 percent said they would not ride in one. While Millennial and Generation X drivers were more receptive to robotaxis than Baby Boomers, majorities of the younger generations still said they wouldn’t ride in such a vehicle.

The development of self-driving vehicles was not a priority for respondents; more people wanted investments in vehicle safety systems rather than expanding access to autonomous vehicles. According to AAA’s survey, the public’s interest in self-driving vehicles has decreased from 18 percent in 2022 to 13 percent this year.

"Most drivers want automakers to focus on advanced safety technology," Greg Brannon, the automotive engineering director at AAA, said in a statement. "Though opinions on fully self-driving cars vary widely, its evident that today's drivers value features that enhance their safety."

While drivers remain skeptical of autonomous vehicles, many expressed a desire for self-driving technology like automatic emergency braking, reverse automatic emergency braking, and lane keeping assistance. In its announcement on the survey results, AAA reiterated its call for less confusing naming of the aforementioned autonomous technology.

Last week, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) launched a request for information from members of the public whose ability to post or be seen on tech platforms has been limited by said platforms — aka, those who are shadowbanned.

Shadowbanning may refer to different things, but usually, it refers to a user's posts or account having limited visibility. This can range from someone's posts not being included in followers' feeds or an app's "Explore" page to someone's account not showing up in Search.

SEE ALSO: Why pro-Palestinian content is at the center of the TikTok ban

Social media platforms typically deny that shadowbanning exists, but it's a well-documented occurrence. Now, the FTC, the independent agency that investigates unfair business practices, has called it tech censorship and asked people experiencing it to submit a comment. They also encouraged users who have been banned or demonetized from platforms to submit comments, too.

Platform governance researcher at Northumbria University's Center for Digital Citizens, Dr. Carolina Are, believes it's important for shadowbanned members of the public to submit their comments.

"Users are experts of their own experience, and particularly marginalized users that are targeted by censorship could provide responses and examples anonymously," said Are, who has commented about shadowbanning to Mashable previously.

Are believes it's also important that researchers who have data and proof of how shadowbanning largely affects marginalized communities take part in submitting a comment. Are herself has been shadowbanned before, and has written papers about the subject.

She continued that the timing for the request is interesting "given that the government itself has been censoring quite a lot of things." She referred to the Trump administration erasing language about trans and queer people from government websites and deleting pages about LGBTQ and reproductive rights, as well as calling for the removal of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion language in the sciences.

SEE ALSO: Is Instagram shadowbanning LGBTQ and sex ed accounts?

Are wondered if this call-out is intended for conservatives who claim to be shadowbanned from major platforms. When Elon Musk took over X, then Twitter, some prominent right-wingers claimed the platform shadowbanned them, for example.

The most likely targets for shadowbanning aren't Republicans, according to Are; it's LGBTQ people, sex workers, those who discuss sex on their accounts (like sex educators), and other marginalized content creators.

Recently, creators who post about Palestine online have said they've been shadowbanned as well. The TikTok ban has been linked to pro-Palestine content.

The effectiveness of this new public comment initiative is debatable, though, said Are. She pointed to consultations about the Online Safety Act in the UK when experts said the law threatened privacy. The act passed anyway.

"But I think it's quite important to answer these consultations because then it creates a backlog of evidence, or…precedent that can then be cited in research [that] can be used as an argument to break up platform power," Are said.

She said the questions the FTC posed were interesting, such as about how one's income was impacted and whether these actions were made possible due to a lack of competition for major social media platforms. 

FTC chairman Andrew N. Ferguson said in the agency's announcement, "Tech firms should not be bullying their users…This inquiry will help the FTC better understand how these firms may have violated the law by silencing and intimidating Americans for speaking their minds."

Members of the public can submit a comment until May 21. You can also file a private report by going to ReportFraud.ftc.gov and clicking "Report Now."

$1.5 billion.

That's the amount of money that has just been stolen by hackers from one of the world's biggest crypto exchanges.

On Friday, Ben Zhou, cofounder and CEO of the crypto exchange Bybit, shared that hackers had gained control of Bybit's ETH (Ethereum) wallet and transferred all of its holdings to an unknown crypto wallet address.

Tweet may have been deleted

According to Bybit's holdings, that amounts to $1.5 billion in cryptocurrency that was stolen from Bybit and its customers, making this the largest ever cryptocurrency theft. However, as Molly White of Web3IsGoingGreat points out, the hacker can't exactly cash out $1.5 billion in Ethereum, because an amount that high would crash the value of ETH.

Still, valued at $1.5 billion, the Bybit heist would make up more than half of the total amount of crypto stolen in 2024, according to a report from Chainalysis last year. The Chainalysis report found that $2.2 billion was stolen off of crypto platforms in 2024.

While Zhou seems to hope that the crypto lost in the heist will be recovered, he promised Bybit would cover the losses and let customers know they would receive a refund of any lost holdings.

Tweet may have been deleted

"Bybit is solvent even if this hack loss is not recovered, all of clients assets are 1 to 1 backed, we can cover the loss," Zhou posted on X.

Regardless, news of the hack rattled customers who started to withdraw their crypto holdings from the platform. According to GovInfoSecurity, a peak of $5.3 billion was withdrawn from the platform on Saturday night.

Bybit says it holds $20 billion in crypto assets.

In a post on Sunday, Bybit CEO Zhou said that the company has already closed the gap created by the heist from "loans, whale deposits, and ETH purchases."

It remains to be seen whether the stolen $1.5 billion in crypto will be recovered. Bybit has launched a bounty program that will reward 10 percent or as much as $140 million for the return of the stolen funds.

"Bybit, the world’s second-largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, is calling on the brightest minds in cyber security and crypto analytics to join the global hunt for the perpetrators of crypto’s largest heist in history," the company said in a statement.

Three years into this terrible conflict, an infographic data story revealing some of the harsh, often hard-to-find numbers around casualties, military budgets and foreign aid in the Russia-Ukraine war.

In times of war, data is difficult to validate, information hard to find. We polled a variety of sources – institutes, traditional media, independent media, civic groups – to find credible estimates and answers to key questions.

How many combatants have been killed and wounded?
What % of territory has been won or lost?
How much money is being spent on the war – and where does it come from?
How important is the USA’s continued support for Ukraine? (Short answer: very).

We hope this data brings a little clarity and shows, at the least, how ongoing international support for Ukraine against the Russian war machine is essential.

If there were an award for taking a series of grim clips from a grim show and making them seem absolutely joyous, then the trailer for Andor season 2 — coming to Disney+ on April 22 — would be a lock to win this year.

As fans of season 1 know, Andor can be many things (prison break drama, political intrigue, pulse-pounding spy thriller), but light and fluffy it ain't. According to creator and showrunner Tony Gilroy, Andor is really a Charles Dickens-like tale: an orphan tries to escape his circumstances, finding friends and foes who expose the dark heart of a cruel era.

That orphan is of course Cassian Andor (Diego Luna), one of the rebel spies who (spoiler alert for a 9 year old movie) dies after transmitting the Death Star plans to the Rebel Alliance in Rogue One. Gilroy is clear about the fact that the show finishes where the movie starts.

So we already how Season 2 will end: with Cassian perfectly willing to kill a colleague who would slow down his escape, and perfectly ready to die fighting the Empire.

SEE ALSO: 'We're making four Star Wars films': The 'Andor' master plan

Cassian's fate — indeed, the fate of all the rebel figures we see in this trailer, including future rebel leader Mon Mothma (Genevieve O'Reilly) — is to be haunted by all the suffering in service of that cause. (That's precisely the point of Mon Mothma's most famous line, the first time we met the character, in Return of the Jedi.)

You can see it here in their worried faces, Cassian's brief smile and fun 1950's-style disguise notwithstanding.

You can certainly see it in the hardened gaze of Saw Gerrera (Forest Whitaker), also returning in season 2. Saw, as we know from Rogue One, Clone Wars and Star Wars Rebels, is the most morally-compromised rebel in the galaxy — so much so that Mothma and her shadowy contact Luthen Rael (Stellan Skarsgård) shun his methods.

SEE ALSO: 'Andor': more, more! Burning questions for Season 2 of the best Star Wars.

Rael, also seen looking sad in the trailer, already summed up where all his fellow rebels are heading in Andor season 2. "I've given up all chance at inner peace," Rael said in season 1's most critically-acclaimed performance. "I made my mind a sunless place, I share my dreams with ghosts, I wake up every day to an equation I wrote 15 years ago from which there's only one conclusion: I'm damned for what I do."

What is that trailer music trying to say?

At first blush, then, it may seem out of sync that a 2004 rock anthem by Steve Earle, "The Revolution Starts Now," plays over these images. The music draws our attention to the colorful party Mon Mothma is attending, the latest in a series of elite gatherings for the Senator, rather than her anguished look.

Meanwhile, the editing makes it seem like Cassian and his hooded colleague are detonating a bomb in a building behind them with the coolness of action movie heroes, not the hardened mask of reluctant rebels.

Still, Earle's lyrics speak to another powerful story thread in Andor. The song implores listeners to make a stand, to "rise above your fear and tear the walls around you down" no matter where you are. That recalls the Season 1 speech by Kino Loy (Andy Serkis), who overcame his fear and helped his fellow prisoners to escape by working together.

It also fits with the "fight the Empire" speech delivered by Cassian's adopted mother Maarva (Fiona Shaw) via posthumous hologram in the season 1 finale. According to the director, Gilroy's original line for Maarva was "fuck the Empire" — evidently a much more rock-and-roll statement than Disney+ would allow.

SEE ALSO: How 'Andor' fulfills George Lucas' plan for 'Star Wars'

The Season 2 trailer contains another, potentially more troubling song lyric, however. It's delivered by Orson Krennic (Ben Mendelsohn, returning to the franchise for the first time since Rogue One). "What a swell party this is," we hear Krennic say, over an image of him gazing lovingly at his pet project, the Death Star.

That's clearly taken from the Cole Porter song "Well Did You Evah," most famously performed by Bing Crosby and Frank Sinatra in the 1956 movie High Society. The song is a satire of two drunk, gossiping party guests, who treat even the potential destruction of Earth lightly, and repeatedly return to the scene around them with the same line: What a swell party this is!

You might expect that Krennic says this line at the same shindig where we see Mon Mothma. It would fit Coruscant's political elite, the people we've already seen wilfully ignoring the rise of the Empire all around them, with a wink at the audience.

But it would also breach one of the ground rules of the franchise as laid down by George Lucas. Star Wars, historically, doesn't wink at the audience. There may be a lot of fun to be had in it, but the galaxy far, far away takes itself very seriously when it comes to making itself immersive and believable.

SEE ALSO: That time 'Rogue One' almost brought its villain back from the dead

You may find reminders of Earth culture in the distant future (remember, this is all happening "a long time ago"), but they are all deliberately mashed up with each other, creating something that feels new and alien.

The cantina band in A New Hope may be playing something that sounds like swing music, but they're also weird insectoid aliens using unusual instruments. (Actual Earth musicians were thrown into the much-reviled Star Wars Holiday Special, proving the point.)

So Krennic directly quoting Cole Porter? This ain't it, chief. We've never heard the word "swell" in a Star Wars story for the same reason we've never heard "groovy": it's too clearly connected to a time and place on Earth.

We can only hope that Tony Gilroy is doing the same here as he did when he stepped in to reshoot Rogue One: cutting a controversial trailer that contains moments never seen in the final cut.

Because hey, even Charles Dickens needed to add some layers of fluff and fun so the public could swallow his grimmest stories.

Horses in video games are far more than just another digital vehicle. They are characters in their own right, and in many cases you'll form a bond or at least some fondness for your steed.
