Memoirs of Amorous Gentlemen review: Duncan Sheiks musical adaptation gets kink right, but falters elsewhere

Mashable - 9 hours 50 min ago

Memoirs of Amorous Gentlemen is a tale of sex, love, loss, and perseverance. And ahead of the show's Off-Broadway debut on Oct. 15, 2026, the cast and crew of this production were hit with the loss of Duncan Sheik, who wrote the music and lyrics for this musical. The American singer/songwriter, who previously wrote the music for Spring Awakening, died one week before his new musical began preview performances. And the loss of him certainly hangs over the production for fans.

However, the message of this musical might well be a balm for all those who grieve, be it the loss of a great love or the death of a great musician.

Of course, set mostly in a brothel, where Parisian sex workers cater to a variety of kinky clientele, there's much more than heartache here. Busting with verve, sex appeal, and cheeky humor, Memoirs of Amorous Gentlemen is a downtown show well worth its ticket price. Set on a round stage, with mirrored satellite posts for added flair, director/choreographer Rob Ashford creates an immersive theatrical experience that welcomes audiences into the hot and vibrant world of a brothel known as the Night Egg.

This English-language musical is based on the Japanese manga series of the same name, written and illustrated by Moyoco Anno. While Sheik wrote the music and lyrics, Leah Nanako Winkler wrote the musical's book. Its story centers on a young French sex worker named Colette (Sophia Anne Caruso), who romanticizes the brothel she calls home.

This comes as a surprise to a Japanese tourist named Sakae (Marc Delacruz), who fancies himself a writer. Eager to exploit what he assumes will be the squalid details of her life, he pays Colette to write her thoughts in a journal, which he wants to turn into a novel of his own. Amused by the idea, Colette initially believes she's writing a love story. She paints fond portraits of the other girls and her madame (Jenny Powers), and speaks with compassion for the men who come to act out their fantasies. But her greatest passion is for her roguish beau, Leon (Cory Jeacoma).

They fell in love in a humble farming village, but dreamed of more. He was to be a great artist, and she to be his muse and wife. But the reality is he's become a degenerate gambler who's pushed her into prostitution, and she can't see all the ways he takes advantage of her big heart. No matter how many of her friends tell her in song ("Obvious")! But Colette's vision of love will be shattered when Leon falls for Nana (Nkeki Obi-Melekwe), an escort with high class and a price to match.

With her blunt bob, Colette exudes joy, sex appeal, and naivete, and so feels very reminiscent of Cabaret's Sally Bowles. However, she is the hero here, and as such, she gets more of a chance to grapple with the contradictions around her. Her voice swerves from delicate to belting without quaver, terrifically building Colette's emotional journey through tone.

Petite in frame, Caruso displays the fragility of this young woman without even trying. When she flings herself upon a strong and towering Jeacoma for a fervent embrace, he lifts her as if she's as light as a feather.

Later, her size and strength of voice comes into play in the choreography of "Immured," when a sensational staging detail places Colette on a park bench that elevates from the stage, high above the audience. Her feelings essentially allow her to fly above the audience. And in a brilliant move, the slats of the bench create striped shadows that recall the harsh contrast lighting of noir, reflecting a gripping low point for her character.

And Caruso is surrounded by a sensational supporting cast. Jeacoma is infuriating yet undeniably sexy as the cad Leon. Powers is curious and compelling as the mysterious Madame, while Leanne Antonio, Elsa Keefe, and Jaedynn Latter are, in turn, stirring and funny as her colleagues. But Obi-Melekwe is a showstopper as Nana, a terrific foil to Colette.

Where the waif heroine imagines sex work as a place to impactfully employ her compassion and joie de vivre, Nana knows the profession's darker side, and it has hardened her. Where Colette is girlish, naive, and carefree, Nana is mature, manipulative, and complex in a way few characters here are allowed to be. At first, she's a rival, but through her song "On Any Given Night," she becomes an unexpected path forward for Colette. In some actresses' hands, Nana might come off a bit baffling or ambiguous. But Obi-Melekwe infuses every strut and song lyric with an emotional depth that speaks to experiences the musical doesn't dare dive into.

Memoirs of Amorous Gentlemen doesn't go dark enough. Cory Jeacoma and Sophia Anne Caruso as Leon and Colette in "Memoirs of Amorous Gentlemen." Credit: Andy Henderson

As you might expect, Colette's cheery vision of her situation is eventually tarnished. However, while this musical production is gleeful about getting kinky onstage, with some cheeky nudity, simulated sex positions, and lurid scenarios playing out, it refuses to show the dark side of the Night Egg. Through Carmen, Colette learns the horrors that await a sex worker who can't play nice anymore. But the show allows only a glancing look at this harrowing element.

Now, because the story is from Colette's perspective, you could argue this light touch on such darkness is intentional. But a similarly shallow approach is offered to her friends, who become caricatures — the lesbian bestie fawning over a straight girl, the hardened working girl, and the crazy one. This too might be excused by Colette's need to believe everything around her is good or at least okay. However, as the third act involves a lot of characters declaring her an insightful writer, these flimsy depictions become a problem, which is echoed in Sheik's music. While playful and fun in a '90s club way, the lyrics reflect this same surface-level awareness of the world, even through the finale.

Memoirs of Amorous Gentlemen does right by kink (mostly). Austin Lesch as Emile in "Memoirs of Amorous Gentlemen." Credit: Andy Henderson

Surprisingly, while the girls around Colette get little love in terms of complexity, the amorous gentlemen get plenty. One song number introduces a male-presenting mustachioed client named Willy (Caleb Marshall), who desires to be shaved while being regarded as a naughty lamb. The women surround him dressed as shepherdesses, and gamely play along, gleefully scolding Willy while caressing those legs with a straight razor. After the scene concludes, Colette observes that Willy must go home and play the man that the family demands. But she addresses Willy with feminine pronouns, recognizing the trans identity this client only feels comfortable revealing in the Night Egg.

Other scenes involve Ulysse (Michael Starr), a man who wishes to be seen and treated as a dog; Emile (Austin Lesch), who yearns to play voyeur as female clowns disrobe; and Henry (Michael Everett), who likes to dress as a bird during sex. In most of these scenarios, the sex scene is played with joy, embracing the desire of the client without judgment. And in some cases, the client will share an intellectual or psychological intimacy with Colette, offering life advice or observation with matched compassion. The actors in these scenes shed not only their clothes, but also the toxic masculinity that would shove them into a narrow box of sexual acceptability.

Except for Henry. His number ("Your Perversion is Our Pleasure") is at the start of the show, and in a flustering choice, Colette writes off his desires as "he wants to fuck birds."

However, even with these fumbles, Memoirs of Amorous Gentlemen is a terrific experience. The scenic design by Scott Pask is minimal, relying on a bench here and a bed there, but used impactfully. The satellite platforms that flank the stage allow for the ensemble to enhance a moment through dance, reaction, or lurid provocation. Then, the lighting design of Brian Tovar smoothly accents mood with color and shadow. The costume designs by Catherine Zuber build character in an instant, expressing class or lack thereof, and giving the suggestion of nudity in playful ways, yet not shying away from the titillation of a well-displayed rear.

All this craftsmanship combined with a crackling cast makes for an Off-Broadway show that's saucy fun and solidly moving.

Memoirs of Amorous Gentlemen is now playing through Jan. 3, 2027.

Pop-ups, video ads, and trackers show up on every screen in a household, from a parent’s laptop to a kid’s tablet. Paying for ad blocking on each of those devices every year works, but it’s expensive. Instead, try AdGuard, an ad blocker that includes privacy tools and parental controls. A Family lifetime subscription is on sale for $14.97 (reg. $169.99).

AdGuard blocks banners, pop-ups, and video ads on every website you visit, so pages load without the clutter. Trackers and activity analyzers are blocked too, which keeps more of your browsing data away from advertisers.

Parental controls are the main reason to pick the Family Plan. Parents can restrict access to adult and inappropriate content on a child’s device, and AdGuard may also help protect everyone in the house from phishing sites and malware. Device count is the other big difference. AdGuard’s Personal Plan works on three devices, while the Family Plan works on up to nine, enough for several phones, tablets, and computers.

This deal is for new AdGuard users only, so existing customers can’t apply it to an account they already have. You’ll also need to redeem your code within 30 days of purchase. After that, you can use the internet freely without worrying that one random misclick will lead you to some sketchy page.

Stop paying every year to block ads on every device in your house.

How to date anonymously in 2026: Our guide to Pures privacy tools

Mashable - 9 hours 50 min ago

Online privacy is getting harder and harder to come by, and that's perhaps especially true in the world of online dating. Whether apps are collecting your data to feed you personalized ads or carelessly handling your personal information, resulting in damaging leaks, the end result is the same: less privacy for you. 

If you want to date or hook up anonymously in 2026, there's one app that stands above the competition: Pure. It gives its users greater peace of mind and much more control over what personal information they share, both with the app and with other users.

Opens in a new window Credit: Pure Pure   Learn More

Here are five key features that make Pure the standout option for anonymous dating in 2026:

Minimal account creation requirements

The first hurdle to anonymity in online dating comes long before you've ever swiped on a profile or talked to a match. Account creation often asks a great deal from would-be users, from phone numbers and email addresses to birthdays and education history, but even when that data isn't public-facing, the mere fact that it exists on a server somewhere means you're vulnerable to a data leak. 

Pure takes a minimalist approach to account creation, allowing you to sign up with minimal information about yourself (age and sexual orientation, plus turn-ons/kinks), or expedite the process by signing in with a Google, Facebook, or Apple account. 

Dating ads rather than profiles

Another major innovation of Pure, setting it apart from its competitors, is its eschewal of traditional dating profiles. Instead of having a permanent, public-facing dating profile with the usual information and photos, users post "ads" that disappear after a set amount of time. If someone clicks your ad, they get temporary viewing access to your profile, which may include photos but doesn't require them. 

In other words, you can curate what people see, and when they can see it, so nobody has 24/7 access to your photos or profile details. While this isn't particularly useful on a normal dating app, it makes a ton of sense on a hookup app, where you may be in the mood for some short-term fun late on a Friday night but not in the middle of the day on a Tuesday. 

From a privacy perspective, the ads are also very customizable. For example, you can choose to share your age in the ad, or choose not to, just as you can choose to share your location (and therefore your distance from potential matches) or choose not to. You can include a photo if you like, but photos are optional, and if you spend any amount of time using the app, you'll discover all kinds of novel ways people use anonymous photos to convey their hookup interests, from suggestive foot pictures to darkened silhouettes of bodies or faces. 

Self-deleting chat logs

Pure's banner feature is its self-deleting chat history. By default, every communication on the app is set to self-delete after 24 hours, which not only erases any evidence of the conversation but also encourages people to actually meet up in person. From a hookup perspective, Pure incentivizes real-world meetups rather than never-ending online back-and-forth. 

There's a catch, though: if both parties agree to pause the timer, the self-deleting function can be turned off, so if you do happen to find a spark with someone and don't want it to be short-lived, Pure allows you to extend the conversation and save its history, provided you both agree to it. 

You can also manually delete the chat history, either by leaving the chat (Pure will automatically erase the logs), blocking the person you were talking to or choosing the "Clear history" option in the chat menu, which not only deletes the chat log from your end but from your partner's end as well. You should also know that, once a chat history has been deleted from your phone, it is also deleted from Pure's servers, so it's gone for good.

Screenshot blocking

Because Pure is a hookup app, it's pretty common for users to exchange personal photos, often suggestive or nude ones, but even here, Pure has upped the safety factor by incorporating screenshot blocking and notifications. Per their FAQ: "Photos, videos and chats cannot be copied, saved or screenshotted. You will receive a notification that the chat partner tried to take a screenshot."

For technical reasons, though, it should be noted that it's still possible for another person to capture a screenshot of anything you send them using third-party software or a separate camera, so you still have to be careful about what you choose to share and who you choose to share it with, but Pure goes farther than most dating apps by not only actively discouraging the practice of screenshotting but making it a bannable offense ("We will block your account forever").

Taking things even further, Pure allows users to send self-destructing photos and videos, so you can tease or titillate with greater peace of mind. 

Incognito mode

If you're really privacy-conscious, you can also opt to browse Pure in Incognito mode, which makes it impossible for other users to know when you're online and even disables read receipts, so you can read chat messages from other users without them knowing you have read them. 

There are two catches, though: Incognito mode is available only to paying users, and you're allowed up to 24 hours of incognito browsing at a time, so you do have to budget this time carefully.

How to protect yourself from falling for a deepfake

Mashable - 9 hours 50 min ago

Mitch McConnell's hospital jeans were real. But the image of a crying Nekima Levy Armstrong, an ICE protestor held up as a symbol of "far-left agitators" by the Trump administration, was faked. 

President Trump's recent outing with Mike Tyson was legitimate. The viral photo of an adulterous Georgia city mayor was not. 

In the grand scheme of things, it has never been easy to detect AI-generated content. But it used to have its tells: a few extra fingers, or a strange texture, or an uncanny gaze. 

Now, "those tells are mostly gone, and whatever replaces them will be gone in a year too," said Marijus Briedis, chief technology officer at online security company NordVPN. "Any guide built on visual artifacts has a short shelf life."

The risk of spreading misinformation is not the only reason for questioning what you see and hear online. Digital scams, including deepfakes, led to losses of over $148 billion in 2025, an increase of more than 25 percent from the year before.

So if the visual Turing Test isn't the failsafe against fraud, scams, and manipulation we once thought it was, what do we do? We focus on the human things we can vet: Our emotions, our brains, and the digital tools available to us.

Deepfake or real? Check the source, not the content.

Instead of trying to spot AI mistakes, users are now encouraged by cybersecurity experts to verify sources rather than content. 

When it comes to video, don't hunt for glitches, which are being patched out of generative models fast, explains Roei Sherman, senior director of research at cloud security firm Mitiga. "Every detection tip we publish eventually becomes a line in someone's prompt."

Instead, try to find the larger context from which it originates. If you see a clip of a political candidate making rounds, look for the full speech or interview. Find broader news coverage of the event, from multiple outlets.

"Short clips cut out of context are where most of the manipulation lives," Sherman said.

Sourcing images may be trickier without robust authentication systems in place. While a reverse image search on Google can still prove helpful, the search engine's new AI features may churn out their own misinformation or reaffirm the original hoax, explained Sofia Rubinson, senior editor at misinformation watchdog NewsGuard.

"Fact-checkers used to depend on traditional search platforms like Google to help research the origins of photos and videos," she told Mashable, "but at NewsGuard we’ve found that the AI-powered Google Search often misattributes imagery as depicting what misinformers claim."

And now there's a chance that the source you trace an image or video to looks completely legit, even if it's not. 

When evaluating the source itself, Briedis recommends asking questions such as:

  • Has this account existed for more than a month? 

  • Does this information appear anywhere else, from anyone with a familiar, credible name attached? 

  • Is this person asking me to act right now, and, if so, why?

"None of that requires you to analyze a pixel or a waveform," he explained. "That is exactly why it still works."

Is it an AI hoax? Think logically. 

Go with your gut, experts told Mashable. 

Always consider plausibility. How likely is it that this could happen? If it's an account that appears to be owned by a public figure, would this person likely say such a thing on a public platform? 

Rubinson emphasizes the importance of seeing multiple angles of an event or crisis before deciding it's legitimate. "Keep an eye out for corroborating information," she urges. 

And the logic test doesn't just apply to fantastically novel events, like those bunnies hopping on a trampoline. A lot of social media is fake, said Rubinson, and incendiary comments from politicians or controversial actions from celebrities deserve to be double-checked — even if a lot of them turn out to be true. 

Am I being ragebaited? Monitor your reaction.

It's also essential that you remain aware of how the image or video makes you feel, Sherman says.

If you have a visceral response to a post — maybe it enrages you or stirs a sense of desperation to engage — it may be doing that on purpose. 

"If you see one wild video appearing repeatedly in your feed that seems designed to evoke an emotional response, there’s reason to be suspicious," Rubinson said.

Can I use detection tools? Yes, but with caution.

So you've taken a good look at the post itself, checked its sources, and still aren't sure? Turn to the professionals.  

Keep up with organizations tracking viral deepfakes. Newsguard, for example, publishes an AI monitor and a newsletter on trending deepfakes and misinformation. Cybersecurity company McAfee flags popular AI-powered scams on its AI news blog. Deepfake detector company AI or Not maintains a searchable database of known deepfakes and manipulated images. 

As federal oversight lags, state-level regulation and industry-wide content provenance measures are also aiding the battle against deepfakes. And cybersecurity experts are building increasingly robust countermeasures to combat deepfakes, including advancements to AI deepfake detectors. 

But no detection tool is reliable enough to issue a definitive verdict on whether or not something is AI. If you're still not certain an image is real, don't share it, experts urged.

"What [detection tools] are good for is the moment something feels off," Briedis said. "The tool agrees with you, and now you go and verify it properly."

Is AdultFriendFinder legit? Only if you can follow these 4 rules.

Mashable - 9 hours 50 min ago

There's always a nervousness when signing up for a new dating site. If you're not that tech-savvy, it can be a daunting thing to do. Especially on a site such as AdultFriendFinder, which has been around for so long (it's one of the true OGs of online dating). The site comes across as dated and counterintuitive, with a myriad of menus and submenus to navigate. It's easy to assume it's unsafe or just too difficult to use. But trust us when we say it's worth the effort due to its sizable community of singles and non-monogamous users looking for steamy fun.

Making the most of AFF means a certain amount of trial and error, or at least some guidance from someone with an intimate knowledge of the spicy hookup platform.

We've come to the rescue by outlining four essential tips to get you started on AFF and help you connect with like-minded people for kink-based fun.

We also recommend keeping an open mind when delving into AFF. If you charge in with a narrow idea of what it is you want, you'll almost certainly be disappointed. But if you start searching AFF with an open-minded curiosity and let yourself just go along for the ride, you might even discover new things about yourself — and find never-before-explored pleasure points — while you have some fun.

Opens in a new window Credit: AdultFriendFinder AdultFriendFinder   Learn More

Here are four essential steps for getting the most out of your AdultFriendFinder experience:

Fill out your full AFF profile 

Sure, this is a given on any online dating service, but it’s particularly important on AFF because the site doesn’t rely on the carousel-style, swipe-left formula of dating profiles that you get on other apps. With AFF, you specify everything from your age and gender to your sexuality and personal kinks. All of this makes it easier for potential connections to find you in their searches. In other words, the more you fill out, the easier it is for someone else to find you; the less you fill out, the harder it is.

We recommend doing this even if your personal kink list is fairly conventional, and even more so if it leans towards the exotic. Trust us when we say there are people out there looking for the very same experience, so it's worth taking the time to be specific and detailed. It will pay off in the end.

SEE ALSO: Is Hinge really 'designed to be deleted'? I tested it to find out.

Also, don’t sleep on the importance of videos. Unlike many dating sites that only have profile pictures, AFF allows you to upload short videos to your profile. It's a super helpful way of showing other users that you’re an actual human being — as opposed to a bot, of which you'll find many on AFF — and it helps you show off a little personality in the process. Just be wary of posting nude content upfront in your profile. It's perfectly within the rules of AFF — the site's culture encourages it, in fact — but putting that kind of content online carries privacy risks.

Verify your AFF account as soon as possible

AdultFriendFinder throws up very few barriers when you're creating your account. That makes it very easy for anyone to join, but it also means there is a huge amount of spam and bots clogging up the platform. To combat this, they’ve also created a profile verification system using the Confirm ID service. 

It requires you to share your government ID for cast-iron verification, but the benefits to your profile will give you major peace of mind. It means photo authentication, age confirmation, and location verification, all of which help others trust that your profile is authentic. When the process is complete, you'll see a blue checkmark beneath your profile photo, just to the right of your username, which helps people identify your profile at a glance and boosts your visibility in search results, as search results prioritize verified users.

Be selective with your search criteria

If you use the site’s search function, you’ll find that you can be extremely specific and selective. And if you know exactly who and what you want, by all means, narrow your search, but if you’re on AFF to be surprised, it’s also worth being less selective from time to time.

For example, if you know you want an in-person date for next week, it obviously makes sense to narrow your location search to people who live near you. But what if you don’t know exactly what you want, or if you’re open to a sultry chat with a stranger half a world away? In that case, distance is irrelevant, and you should consider turning that filter off.

SEE ALSO: All your Tinder questions, answered

On the other hand, there are quite a few filters that are turned off by default that we actually recommend you turn on. For example, the default profile filter shows you all people who have bothered to upload photos, but while that’s a good start, it’s not enough to help you wade through the huge number of users. We strongly recommend narrowing it down to Verified/Confirmed users, since those people all proved their identity the same way you did (see above). That way, you can trust that your search results and potential connections are 100 percent legit. It's another means of filtering out the spam.

Another useful filter is the Last Visit, which by default is set to "All." We recommend specifying accounts that have been active within the last month. That's because lots of people sign up to AFF then never bother checking back in. Other users go inactive for weeks or even months at a time. If you stick with the default "All" setting, you risk messaging accounts that you might never get a reply from.

Explore the live-chat communities

AdultFriendFinder isn’t a traditional dating website, so don't use it like one. The search-and-swipe dating app method is tried and true, but it’s also a bit played out, and one of AFF’s biggest strengths is its larger community offerings. There's more to it than swiping — or should we say swinging? — left or right.

There are lots of forums to explore, all based around common interests (though you should know that some of these interests — or kinks — are not so common), or you can venture into a user’s livestream and interact with them and others there. AFF even has a dedicated Stories section, where users can share their memories or try their hand at writing erotica. That's all well and good for anyone with a knack for the written word, but if you're more visual, you can set up a webcam stream and invite others to tune in. 

For all of the above, AFF tracks not only which stories/streams/group chats are new but also which are trending, making it very easy to jump into a popular discussion or keep up with the latest site news.

Upgrade your AFF membership tier

As with other dating sites and apps, you only get the most out of AFF when you sign up for a paid membership. It is entirely possible to use AFF and interact without handing over your credit card information, but the site’s best features and functions are paywalled. And it has to be said that the advantages — visibility, communication options, and site functionality are all just too good to ignore.

Gold and VIP members receive special icons on their profiles, and these profiles are given priority in every search, regardless of the criteria. Because there are thousands of potential profile options for almost every search criterion that isn’t location-based, it’s very difficult to stand out from the crowd on AFF as a free user.

Additionally, if you fork out for the upgraded VIP membership, you’ll unlock an entire section dedicated exclusively to VIPs. It's the dating site equivalent of entering the velvet-roped area of a night club; you'll find the most glamorous people hiding there. VIP members even get additional points to spend on digital gifts or lavish on live streamers who catch your eye. This is another great way of standing out from the crowd. 

The learning curve on AdultFriendFinder is steeper than most other dating sites, and much steeper than most dating apps, but if you follow the above tips and you're willing to experiment, you’ll encounter more than a few fun and sexy surprises along the way.

The iPhone Duo launched last week, and naturally, there was a lot of fuss made about Apple's first-ever foldable. Not all of the chatter was positive, but the iPhone Duo did dominate the conversation at least. Now that the dust has settled, something truly wonderful has happened for Apple fans.

No, we're not talking about resolutions to any of the issues surrounding the launch. We're talking about the triumphant return of T-Mobile's free iPhone deals. For the last few weeks, T-Mobile pulled back on the free deals for the iPhone 17 and iPhone 18 Pro. Times were tough, but we made it through.

For a limited time, you can get your hands on the Apple iPhone 18 Pro for free with T-Mobile. To qualify for this deal, you simply need to switch to T-Mobile and bring your number to the Experience Beyond plan. Alternatively, you can save $1,200 on the Apple iPhone 18 Pro Max by doing the same.

The full savings are distributed as monthly credits over a 36-month payment plan. If you leave T-Mobile before the end of the three-year contract, you will be charged the remaining balance. You also need to pay local sales tax on the phone's full retail value upfront, plus a standard $35 device connection fee per line at checkout.

You're making a commitment to T-Mobile and getting a flagship phone for free in return. That sounds like a pretty good deal to us.

Get the Apple iPhone 18 Pro for free this weekend with T-Mobile.

November hasn't even hit the calendar yet, but Lowe’s has officially decided waiting around is overrated.

The retailer just rolled out its early holiday savings, and the official Lowe’s Black Friday ad scans show major discounts hitting the floor weeks before Thanksgiving. Whether your laundry room has been begging for mercy, your patio needs some heat, or you're just looking for an excuse to expand your power tool hoard, the first wave of markdowns covers serious ground. You can already score $200 off workhorse laundry machines, or snag a steel fire pit for under $80.

Don't burn your evening clicking through pages of bulk hardware; we sorted through the clutter to find the steals you should jump on right now

Square fire pits are noticeably easier to arrange patio chairs around than circular bowls, and the Master Forge Steel Square Wood-Burning Fire Pit hits the sweet spot between a permanent backyard centerpiece and a portable setup you can shift around the yard.

Its angular, all-metal frame is treated with a high-temperature, rust-resistant powder coat so it won't crumble after a season in damp weather, while the included mesh spark screen keeps runaway embers from drifting into your crowd. The design details also make keeping a fire alive much less of a chore. Built-in log grates lift your firewood off the base, pulling in fresh airflow underneath so flames roar faster with less babysitting.

Few tools save a DIY project from going off the rails quite like the DeWalt 20V Max Brushless Oscillating Multi-Tool, whether you're flush-cutting baseboards, slicing through stuck plumbing pipes, or scraping away stubborn grout. This kit features a brushless motor and a 3-speed selector, letting you back off for delicate trimming or crank it up to 20,000 OPM for aggressive demo work.

Its tool-free clamp lets you swap blades in seconds without hunting down a hex wrench, an onboard LED lights up cramped undersink spaces, and the whole 13-piece setup comes ready to work with a 2.0Ah battery, charger, and essential accessories right out of the box.

The Char-Broil FlavorMax 4-Burner Gas Grill offers 435 square inches of primary grilling space, plus a 130-square-inch swing-away warming rack for buns and sides. The main feature is the dedicated sear burner, which delivers high-intensity heat to create a steakhouse crust on chops and steaks while the rest of the grill stays steady.

Char-Broil’s FlavorMax setup also uses porcelain-coated grates engineered to hold onto heat, deliver crisp grill marks, and tame sudden flare-ups. Plus, the system can expand into a full 3-in-1 cooker down the line if you want to add drop-in griddle or charcoal inserts.

If you're fed up with modern impeller machines that barely get your clothes damp, the Maytag 4.5 cu. ft. High-Efficiency Top-Load Washer brings back the old-school cleaning power families actually rely on. Its Power agitator uses a 360-degree wash action to churn clothes up, down, and around, muscling through caked-on dirt instead of just letting fabrics float in place.

The Deep Fill toggle lets you add extra water whenever you're dealing with heavily soiled gear, while built-in auto-sensing keeps utility bills in check on regular laundry days. Add two extra rinse options to ensure detergent residue washes away completely, plus a 30-minute quick-wash cycle for last-minute emergencies, and you've got a rugged, dependable workhorse.

If you’re going to put up a nine-foot Christmas tree, subtle probably isn’t the goal. This snow-flocked Glitzhome fir comes with 650 warm white lights, so you can get the winter-wonderland look without spending your evening untangling strands and figuring out which bulb ruined Christmas. At $382.40, it’s $95.90 off its regular price.

The tree assembles in four sections with hinged branches, and the lights connect through the trunk rather than leaving you hunting for plugs between layers. A folding metal stand is included, too. Just measure before committing: it’s approximately five feet wide, so this isn’t a tree you’re casually squeezing between the couch and the TV.

The Nintendo Switch 2 remake of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is less than a week away, with the highly anticipated game scheduled to officially drop on Nov. 5. That means there's limited time to take advantage of Amazon's deal on physical copy preorders.

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time was initially priced at $69.99, but the preorder price has since dropped to $59.88 (roughly the same price as the digital version). If you're undecided, check out the gameplay preview footage that's had Zelda fans pumped for almost two months. Trust us, this is one of the key releases for the Switch 2.

Nintendo is also releasing special packaging with textured foil cover art as part of the first print run on the physical edition — another reason this is a must-own game for collectors and Zelda diehards.

The other bonus of the Amazon price drop is that the retailer is also offering a price guarantee on these preorders. If the price changes between now and when you receive your copy on or around Nov. 5 — when your card will actually be charged — you'll only pay the lowest price point from that period (if it drops to $57 before you receive the game, for instance, that's the price you'll pay).

Don't miss your chance to get $10 off The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time before the official release on Nov.5.

This Week 9 game won't have any impact on the college football rankings — neither the Clemson Tigers nor the Florida State Seminoles have made the top 25 — but it's a big game for the Seminoles, who now have a run of games that could see them climb the Atlantic Coast Conference.

At this point in the season, with just four weeks of regular season to go, everyone in reach is making a play for the conference championship — which makes this another must-watch game for college football fans.

The Wisconsin Badgers are looking to make it two wins in two games after turning over USC last week and entering the rankings at 25 — their first time on the AP rankings so far this season. They now face the Iowa Hawkeyes.

At 5-2, they're on equal pegging with the Hawkeyes' win-loss record, but the Badgers have fared better in conference play. A win for Iowa could see them start to climb the ranks of the Big 10 and keep any playoff hopes alive. Whatever happens, this should be a tough Week 9 game from two similarly matched teams.

Why my monitor's USB-C port replaced half the cables on my desk

Amazon has cut $50 off the DJI Mini 3 drone this weekend — shop for $369

Mashable - 11 hours 50 min ago

Save $50: The DJI Mini 3 drone is down to $369 at Amazon. It's usually priced at $419, giving you a saving of $50.

$419 Save $50   Get Deal at Amazon

We can't help but get excited for deals at this time of year. Black Friday is just around the corner, and retailers jump on the excitement by dropping prices earlier and earlier every holiday shopping season. If you're specifically in the market for a deal on a drone, we've spotted an excellent price drop on one of the most popular drones around, the DJI Mini 3.

We can understand why you might be looking for a discount on a DJI drone. Following changes in U.S. law last year, there's a ban on future imports of the Chinese-made DJI drones. We fully expect prices to skyrocket as the existing U.S. stocks of these drones become increasingly scarce.

As of Oct. 31, the DJI Mini 3 drone is down to $369 on Amazon, saving you $50 off the regular list price of $419.

The DJI Mini 3 is lots of fun to fly, which is the bare minimum you want from a drone. It takes off from the palm of your hand and boasts a GPS-enabled auto-return function.

But we also recommend it for content creators and aerial photographers. It shoots 4K footage and boasts a selection of creative QuickShots features, including True Vertical, Helix, and Boomerang shots. It also offers one-tap editing, letting you edit your footage right there and then.

Don't miss your chance to save $50 on the DJI Mini 3 drone at Amazon.

Hurdle hints and answers for October 31, 2026

Mashable - 14 hours 50 min ago

If you like playing daily word games like Wordle, then Hurdle is a great game to add to your routine.

There are five rounds to the game. The first round sees you trying to guess the word, with correct, misplaced, and incorrect letters shown in each guess. If you guess the correct answer, it'll take you to the next hurdle, providing the answer to the last hurdle as your first guess. This can give you several clues or none, depending on the words. For the final hurdle, every correct answer from previous hurdles is shown, with correct and misplaced letters clearly shown.

An important note is that the number of times a letter is highlighted from previous guesses does necessarily indicate the number of times that letter appears in the final hurdle.
