In 2026, antivirus software is an absolute must. In fact, we’ll go one step further and say you need to be thinking beyond just regular antivirus software. This is the age of AI-powered scamming, and every day internet users — that means pretty much all of us — are vulnerable to all kinds of bad faith actors and online conmen.

Indeed, AI has raised the game with deepfakes, phishing, and other tricks designed to target your personal and financial details. Fortunately, there’s a solution to protecting yourself in 2026 — and one that will actually save you money. 

McAfee, one of the top names in online protection, has launched an AI-powered scam-protection feature called Scam Detector, which integrates with McAfee’s award-winning antivirus, identity monitoring, privacy tools, VPN, and financial protection as part of the straightforward, easy-to-use McAfee+ Individual and Family plans. 

You can save up to $110 on a yearly individual plan when you sign up for the McAfee+ Advanced tier, which costs just $89.99 for the first year, down from $199.99. You can also save up to $150 when you opt for the family plan, which covers six family members for $119.99 — down from $269.99. As an added bonus, all plans are covered by a 30-day money-back guarantee.

Your protection plan will pay off in the long run. McAfee research found that Americans are bombarded with an average of 14 scam messages every day, resulting in almost 114 hours per year spent trying to determine what’s real and what’s fake online. The research also found that one in three Americans has lost money to online scammers, losing an average of $1,160.

McAfee’s Scam Detector is the antivirus equivalent of fighting fire with fire. In the battle against sophisticated AI scams, it uses its own AI to identify scams before they have a chance to impact you. It does by automatically identifying suspicious texts, emails, deepfake videos, and social media DMs — as well as identifying risky sites — and providing you with warnings.

It also includes a QR code safety check. This combats one of the new ways scammers are targeting unsuspecting people: QR codes that send an increasing number of people to untrustworthy sites.

The great news is that Scam Detector is included across McAfee’s core plans at no extra cost. Whatever plan you sign up for, McAfee Scam Detector has your back.

Sign up for McAfee+ with Scam Detector and save up to $110 on a yearly individual plan.

TL;DR: The Motorola Razr+ is available for free with T-Mobile. To qualify for this promotion, simply activate a new line on an Experience Beyond plan.

Everyone needs to breathe. We know that Apple's event was a lot. We got announcements of new iPhones, Apple Watches, AirPods, and much more. There was a lot to take in, but now that the dust has settled, we can all get back to normality. And by normality, we mean free deals on foldables (no, not the iPhone Duo).

We're talking Motorola, specifically the new Motorola Razr+. This foldable phone is available for free right now with T-Mobile, and you don't even need to trade in anything to qualify. The process of claiming is actually pretty straightforward.

To get the new Motorola Razr+ for free with T-Mobile, simply activate a new line on its Experience Beyond plan. The total cost is covered via 36 monthly bill credits. If you cancel or switch carriers before the two-year mark, you’ll owe the remaining balance on the phone’s full retail price. You will need to pay taxes and a one-time $35 connection charge, but that's a small price to pay for a "damn fine phone."

If you really do need to get your hands on the latest tech from Apple, you have choices. The new Apple iPhone 18 Pro is available for free when you trade in a qualifying device and activate a new line on T-Mobile’s Experience Beyond plan. New customers who switch to T-Mobile and keep their existing number can also qualify.

Earlier this year, Sharge released its original Disk Pro portable SSD and docking station. Now, we have the Disk Pro 2, which is upgraded in every way. Sharge really listened to its users and fixed some of the biggest complaints of the Disk Pro, and that makes this the portable SSD and docking station to beat, I think.

TL;DR: EA Sports NHL 27 is out now on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. The newest entry brings 32 rebuilt arena atmospheres, real-world data playbooks, a fresh broadcast duo featuring John Buccigross and Darren Pang, and the long-awaited return of the 32-team online Connected Franchise.

If you've been waiting for a reason to jump back into virtual hockey, EA Sports just dropped NHL 27 worldwide on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. The game is available in two editions: a $69.99 Standard Edition for the base game, and a $99.99 Deluxe Edition that adds 4,600 NHL Points, HUT Packs, and day-one digital bonuses.

Whether you're a casual player looking to throw hits on the weekend or a strategist eager to run a 32-team online league with your friends, this year’s entry comes with serious upgrades.

Who’s on the mic?

Out with the old, in with the new. ESPN’s John Buccigross takes over play-by-play duties alongside former NHL goalie and TNT analyst Darren Pang. That means every big save or missed open-netter comes with Pang's signature color analysis and high-energy breakdowns in crisp digital surround sound.

Real-world NHL EDGE data powers every team's AI behavior. That means every squad executes its real-life tactics — from high-speed rush plays to aggressive forechecking — instead of sharing generic strategies. You can even grab real-world NHL coaches in Hockey Ultimate Team (HUT) to boost your squad’s chemistry based on authentic coaching systems.

The big upgrades on and off the ice

EA completely overhauled all 32 home venues from the ice up. Expect authentic goal songs, unique crowd chants, team-specific jumbotrons, and dynamic arena lighting that matches real-world game-night energy. Upgraded broadcast graphics, sharper camera angles, and dynamic crowd reactions give every matchup a cleaner, modern feel from puck drop to the final horn.

Beyond the visual overhaul, the most requested feature in community history is finally back. Connected Franchise lets you build an online league with up to 31 of your friends, complete with 32 human-controlled teams, full-season schedules, custom trade rules, flexible roster management, and deep commissioner tools.

If you're an EA Play member, you can also test the waters with a 10-hour free trial before buying. Subscriptions knock 10% off digital orders, bringing the Deluxe price down to $89.99, and toss in 3,000 bonus Chel Coins with Season Pass XP multipliers.

Ready to take your couch rivalry online? Pick up NHL 27 today and start building your 32-team franchise.

The iPhone Duo delivers top-tier craftsmanship and clever crease-hiding tech. Look closer, though, and you’ll find basic two-app windowing, delayed stylus support without pressure controls, and an upgrade cycle designed to keep your wallet on permanent lease.

If your current home setup involves balancing your phone against a salt shaker while following a recipe, or hauling a laptop into bed to binge Netflix, Hisense just built something specifically for you.

The company officially launched the RoamView — a 32-inch 4K touchscreen display mounted on a rolling stand that is designed to wander freely around your living space. Priced at $1,199.99, it is part smart TV, part oversized tablet, and entirely built around the idea that you shouldn't have to mount a display on a wall just to enjoy a big-screen experience.

You can roll it directly from your kitchen counter to your bed, or detach it from its wheels completely and set it up on a counter using the included tabletop easel. You also get bright, razor-sharp picture quality with multi-touch gesture controls that let you swipe, tap, and pinch through apps like a phone. If you don't feel like wheeling the base around, you can pop the display off entirely and set it up on a counter using the included tabletop easel.

Powering the screen is an impressive 10-hour built-in battery, giving you cordless freedom to binge movies in bed, follow recipes in the kitchen counter, or stream music on the patio. It runs on Android OS backed by an AI engine and a generous 8GB of RAM with 128GB of storage, making app navigation feel smooth and snappy. It even features hands-free voice controls and an AI light sensor that automatically adjusts brightness so you aren't blinded during late-night viewing.

Hisense also packed in productivity perks, including an auto-framing wide-angle camera for video calls that keeps you centered while you move around the room. Add in dual speaker drivers, built-in wireless screen mirroring, and standard HDMI and USB-C ports, and the RoamView easily bridges the gap between a portable smart display, a video-conferencing hub, and a mobile entertainment center.

Each year, the Emmys' tribute to stars who've passed away is always a moving moment, however this year's "In Memoriam" segment seemed especially sombre.

As well as paying tribute to the late Catherine O'Hara, Rob Reiner, Tim Curry, Robert Duvall, Isiah Whitlock Jr., James Van Der Beek, Anthony Head, Hayden Panetierre, and sadly many more, the 78th Primetime Emmy Awards honoured a bright light missing from this year's ceremony: Dolly Parton.

Following the screen and music icon's death in August, the Emmys saw two of Parton's friends honouring her on stage: her Steel Magnolias co-star Sally Field and country music star Reba McEntire performing Parton's 1983 ballad "Appalachian Memories."

SEE ALSO: The complete list of 2026 Emmy winners

"If there are truly angels on earth, then we just lost one: Dolly Parton," said Field in her speech, seen in the video above. "Over the years, I never stopped loving her. Though we lived very far apart, I adored her from day one. How could you not? She was genuine and humble, supportive and blisteringly funny, with a bawdy sense of humor that would send any rude guy looking for a place to hide. I couldn't see then what a real giant Dolly was — not just as an artist, but as a human."

For everything that happened at the 2026 Emmys, we've got you covered.

The NYT Connections puzzle today is not too difficult if you're a tea drinker.

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."

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 will be easy if you're handy.

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.

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.

This robot vacuum features powerful suction that picks up dirt and pet hair on both carpets and hard floors. It even has a self-cleaning brushroll that helps prevent hair wrap.

Its Matrix Clean technology uses a precision grid pattern to make multiple passes over messes, and the 360° LiDAR navigation maps your home and detects objects, even in the dark.

When the battery runs low during a clean, the vacuum will return to the dock to recharge before picking up where it left off. However, with up to 90 minutes of runtime, you'll get a good amount of cleaning done in one go. The bagless self-emptying base can also hold up to 60 days of dirt and debris, so there's no need for disposal bags.

Drones can be intimidating when you're just getting started, but the DJI Neo is a great option if you want to keep things relatively simple. It's a small, lightweight drone designed for beginners, and it's currently on sale on Amazon.

Normally $199, this drone is now $139. Not only are you saving $60, but according to camelcamelcamel, that's the best-ever price for this drone.

There's been plenty of discussion around the new U.S. restrictions affecting DJI drones, but you can still buy (for now). The changes apply to future imports, while DJI drones already in stock with U.S. retailers can still be purchased and used. If you've been considering the DJI Neo, you've still got time.

This drone comes packed with a range of beginner-friendly features and tools. It has eight QuickShots modes for capturing different types of footage, which is handy if you don't want to manually control every shot. You can also fly it using voice commands, the DJI mobile app, an RC controller, or without a controller at all.

For video, the Neo captures 4K footage with DJI's stabilization technology and has level 4 wind resistance for flying in less-than-perfect conditions. Full-coverage propeller guards also add another layer of protection when you're navigating around obstacles.

With Law & Order SVU star Mariska Hargitay hosting the 2026 Emmys, rumours had been swirling about the possible appearance of Taylor Swift — a famous fan of the show, who even named her cat after Hargitay's character Olivia Benson and included Hargitay in her 2015 "Bad Blood" video.

Fortunately, the Emmys did not disappoint. In the sketch above, Hargitay stars in a Law & Order SVU-style parody in which she tries to "Think like a Swiftie" and put clues together on a crime board. The whole thing is basically one Swift pun after another, during which the artist herself appears to help them solve the case.

We also get the joy of seeing two Olivia Bensons on screen at the same time!

Each year, the Emmys pays tribute to stars who've passed away within the last year, and this year's "In Memoriam" segment was especially moving.

Presented by Macaulay Culkin, Annie Murphy, and Dan Levy, the tribute began with the Home Alone and Schitt's Creek stars honouring the late Catherine O'Hara, who died in January.

"She always showed up when I asked her to, because that was Catherine," said Culkin. "That's what she did. She showed up, and this is the best that we can do for her tonight. We're showing up for her. So she may have forgotten me...twice, but we will always remember her. "

"The greatest lesson I learned from Catherine, both professionally and personally, was to always say yes," said Levy. "Say yes to her instincts, all of them, as radical as they may sometimes seem. She is miles ahead of you, and you will learn to catch up. Say yes to helping her build a TV character over the age of 60 that wears leather miniskirts and eight-inch heels and speaks in a strange, sometimes unintelligible transatlantic accent, and know that she will not scare an audience away. Say yes to that rewrite she emails you sometimes the night before, 'Dear Dan, some thoughts.' It will always improve the story. Say yes to the concept of a wig wall. Say yes to her asking to wear a wig as a hat. Say yes to her naming that wig. Say yes to giving her space to experiment and create. It will amaze you on a daily basis, and it will change your life."

With Noah Kahan performing Simon & Garfunkel's "Bridge Over Troubled Water," a song covered by the late Dolly Parton, the Emmys paid tribute to the music icon and O'Hara, as well as James Van Der Beek, Tim Curry, Bob Mackie, Robert Duvall, Isiah Whitlock Jr., Anthony Head, Hayden Panetierre, Kiki Shepard, Eric Dane, Vincent Pastore, Maria Riva, Hal Williams, and sadly many more.

To conclude this year's segment, Jamie Lee Curtis also paid deeply moving tribute to directors James Burrows and Rob Reiner.

"He was generous and kind, and funny as hell, and a friend to all," she said of Reiner. "We all miss Rob and Michele, and all those we lost this year."
