Back in 1998, four of the biggest names in enterprise computing agreed on something wild. IBM, the Santa Cruz Operation (SCO), Sequent, and Intel would merge their separate UNIX systems into one OS for Intel's upcoming 64-bit chips. They called it Project Monterey.

Spending time with the iPhone Duo and iPhone 18 Pro has Bridget Carey rethinking what’s important in an iPhone upgrade. Following Apple's big September iPhone event, Carey breaks down the standout Duo features, what the crease is really like, and the questions she has for the future of Apple Watch and the next era of Apple.

"No kings."

What the phrase means in 2026 America might be different to what it meant to England during the 1381 Peasants' Revolt, but it's a powerful declaration in either context.

Connecting these words across time, Paul Greengrass' The Uprising tracks one of the defining moments of radicalism in British history. We meet Andrew Garfield as John Ploughman, a farmer who plays a key role in the resistance. In the 14th century, farmers, artisans, priests, and more common folk took on the tyranny of King Richard III, as the impact of the Black Death hung heavy, the Poll Tax ruined lives, and the Hundred Years’ War between England and France raged.

And in the film, Ploughman indeed says aloud, "No kings."

"It was a line that Paul thought he should cut because he had written it before all of the "No Kings" protests that were happening in the United States against Trump," said Garfield. "He was worried that it would feel like we are trying to say something specific in response to something that's just happening. But in fact, it predated any of that stuff happening in real time.

"It felt the right thing just to go, no, this is something universal. This is something that is unfortunately timeless. And it's a beautiful sentiment. The idea of hierarchy that is preordained being deconstructed feels very important."

"This is something universal. This is something that is unfortunately timeless." - Andrew Garfielf

Mashable Senior Editor Shannon Connellan sat down with Garfield, in the historic Charterhouse in London, a medieval monastery built before the revolt, just around the corner from St Johns Priory and Smithfield, where major events in the uprising happened (you'll see them in the film).

Watch the interview above, in which Garfield unpacks The Uprising, including working with co-stars Cosmo Jarvis and Jamie Bell, the choreography involved with Greengrass' handheld, documentary-style action, and wielding farm tools against steel and armour.

The Uprising opens in theaters in the U.S. on Sept. 10; a UK release will follow on Oct. 9.

TL;DR: Narwal unveiled three new floor cleaners across three categories: the Freo 20 Edge robot vacuum ($799 for 31,000 Pa suction), the 3.1-lb V50 Cube self-emptying stick vac, and a next-gen wet & dry vacuum powered by 752°F steam cleaning.

Narwal just expanded its home-cleaning lineup with three new devices across three core categories: a feature-packed robot vacuum, an ultralight self-emptying stick vacuum, and a heavy-duty steam wet-and-dry vacuum.

Built to deliver premium floor care without high-end compromises, the Freo 20 Edge packs flagship-grade 31,000 Pa suction for deep carpet cleaning. It features real-time self-cleaning mopping at room temperature, so it never drags dirt back across your floors, alongside 150+ object recognition powered by hidden dToF LiDAR navigation and structured light sensors to avoid household obstacles.

It automatically empties the robot's dustbin into a 2.5L self-sealing dust bag (good for up to 120 days) and uses 45°C (113°F) hot air to dry the mop track after every run. The Freo 20 Edge is available on Amazon for $799.

The V50 Cube is Narwal’s first stick vacuum in the US, also its most compact model yet, with a handheld body weighing just 3.1 lbs. It combines AI-optimized suction technology and carpet-focused vacuuming with a compact 5-in-1 dock that handles automatic dust emptying, brush self-cleaning, and tool storage.

The base station takes up less floor space than an iPad Air while doing all the heavy lifting. Slide the vacuum in, and the dock takes over — emptying the dustbin into a 100-day UV-sterilized bag, scraping the cyclone mesh, detangling the brush roll, charging the battery, and hiding all your attachments inside.

The vacuum uses a certified ZeroWrap 4-stage detangling brush roll with a wide-angle aqua LED light that exposes micro-dust and pet hair hiding in dark corners. Rollouts for the V50 Cube begin in Europe in September 2026. Official U.S. pricing and launch dates will be announced soon.

Designed to conquer greasy kitchen messes and sticky, dried-on spills, the next-gen wet & dry vacuum turns up the heat with extreme sanitization. It combines a high-temp 752°F steam function at the source with 203°F hot-water floor mopping to instantly dissolve stubborn grime and kill floor bacteria without harsh chemical sprays.

It features 25,000 Pa of suction power paired with 33N of downward mopping pressure to force dirty water into the recovery tank in a single pass. When docked, the base station flushes the internal pipes and roller with hot water and steam, followed by a quiet hot-air drying cycle to prevent mold and unpleasant odors.

Narwal has this high-temp steam series slated for an official European rollout in 2027, with U.S. availability and exact price tags to follow closer to launch.

Lego's massive 4,154-piece Tropical Aquarium set has received a huge $56 discount on Amazon, hitting its lowest price yet at the retailer. If you've been on the lookout for a big new build to put together this fall, or over the cooler months to come when you're spending more time inside, this set is well worth a look.

While this Lego set is usually priced at $479.99, Amazon's knocked it down to $423.99. This marks its lowest price yet there, so it's a perfect time to grab it if its delightfully vibrant underwater display has caught your eye.

SEE ALSO: First look: Lego’s 1,911-piece PlayStation set is the ultimate retro gaming flex

While the Lego Icons Tropical Aquarium set's colors are certainly eye-catching, its 4,154-piece build is quite detailed as well. Within the aquarium, you'll find four fish, an oyster shell with a pearl, plants and coral, sea worms, sea snails, and more. It even features dials and cranks you can rotate to make the fish swim or coral sway, which is an incredibly cool way to breathe a bit of life into it.

You'll also want to make sure you have plenty of space available for it, as the store page says it measures over 14 inches high, 20.5 inches wide, and 11 inches deep. It's also worth noting that this set is recommended for adults to assemble, likely due to its high piece count and more complex functional elements.

There's no telling how long this deal will be live for, so act fast to save on the Lego Icons Tropical Aquarium at Amazon.

As a Magic: The Gathering expansion, Marvel Super Heroes has been one of the biggest examples of major price fluctuations in trading card products since its release in June. While stocks last, though, you can score over $60 off the 30-pack Play Booster Box.

As of Sept. 11, the Magic: The Gathering Marvel Super Heroes Play Booster Box is $147.98 at Amazon through third-party seller Industrial Resolution. Altogether, that cuts $61.72 from the $209.70 list price — bringing the cost of each Play Booster down to approximately $4.93.

Delivery is set for Sept. 18 on this one in particular at the time of writing, but also a $148.88 Amazon listing sold by The Game Capital and fulfilled by Amazon itself, with delivery estimated for Sept. 16, if you don’t mind spending slightly more.

That said, you can save even more by shopping elsewhere. Walmart has the same Play Booster Box for $119.95 via ForgeAndFireGaming.com, with Walmart handling fulfillment and free shipping; meanwhile, TCGplayer has listings going for as low as $116.73 (including shipping) — only 91 cents above its estimated $115.82 market price. 

Whichever retailer you choose, the box contains 30 Play Boosters, each with 14 cards from the Marvel hero-themed collection. Every pack has one Traditional Foil, alongside one to four cards of rare or higher rarity, three to five uncommons, six to nine commons, and one land. There’s also a sub-1% chance of finding a Foil Borderless Mythic Rare.

Didn't manage watch Trump's midterm convention? You weren't the only one.

The good news is Daily Show host Michael Kosta has recapped the whole thing. In the clip above Kosta goes through the lowlights, from Senate hopeful Ken Paxton's jokes falling a little flat ("Oh no he didn't...make anyone laugh," says Kosta after a clip of Paxton's jokes getting a tumbleweed response) to Trump offering Americans $5,000 if the Republicans win both the House and the Senate.

"$5,000? That's two trips to the grocery store!" says Kosta. "Or one if you buy raspberries. I like how Trump calls this a dividend. Do you know when businesses hand out dividends, when they're raking in money? The last time I checked, we, as a country, have negative $40 trillion of money."

Kosta wasn't the only one to poke fun at the convention. Elsewhere, Jimmy Kimmel also had some thoughts about the empty seats.

It's the New Moon tonight, which means the side we see is completely dark. This is because the Moon is positioned between Earth and the Sun, with the sunlit side facing away from us.

What is today’s Moon phase?

As of Friday, Sept. 11, NASA's Daily Moon Guide tracker tells us the Moon is in the New Moon phase, with 0% of its surface visible.

When is the next Full Moon?

The next Full Moon will take place on September 26.

What are Moon phases?

The Moon's appearance gradually changes as it travels around Earth, completing a full lunar cycle in approximately 29.5 days, NASA tells us. What we see from Earth depends on the Moon's position in relation to the Sun, which affects how much of its illuminated side is visible. As the cycle progresses, the Moon passes through a series of phases, from a thin crescent to a half Moon and then a Full Moon, before starting over.

The eight phases are:

New Moon - The Moon is between Earth and the sun, so the side we see is dark (in other words, it's invisible to the eye).

Waxing Crescent - A small sliver of light appears on the right side (Northern Hemisphere).

First Quarter - Half of the Moon is lit on the right side. It looks like a half-Moon.

Waxing Gibbous - More than half is lit up, but it’s not quite full yet.

Full Moon - The whole face of the Moon is illuminated and fully visible.

Waning Gibbous - The Moon starts losing light on the right side. (Northern Hemisphere)

Third Quarter (or Last Quarter) - Another half-Moon, but now the left side is lit.

Waning Crescent - A thin sliver of light remains on the left side before going dark again.

TL; DR: At IFA 2026 in Berlin, TCL officially unveiled a massive hardware showcase spanning smartphones, tablets, and TVs. Highlights include the TCL P80 Ultra and P80 Pro, the versatile TAB A1 tablet series, and the absurdly bright X11L SQD-Mini LED TV, which packs up to 10,000 nits of peak brightness.

TCL took the stage at IFA 2026 to reveal a massive wave of upcoming gear. Instead of just throwing tech specs at us, they focused on solving two real-world problems: stopping screen glare from frying your eyeballs, and building TVs so ridiculously bright your living room feels like a movie theater. Here is a quick breakdown of what’s coming down the pipe.

Smartphones: Vibrant colors that don't blind you

Leading the phone pack are the TCL P80 Ultra and P80 Pro. They're the first phones ever to mix AMOLED screen colors with TCL's matte, paper-like display tech. So you get rich, vivid colors without feeling like you're staring into a mirror under sunlight.

Both pack huge 6.83-inch screens, big batteries meant to last all day, and a physical button on the side that flips the screen into a muted reading mode or monochrome e-ink style. If you want serious zoom, the Ultra adds a periscope lens for long-range shots, while the base-model P80 keeps things simple with a super-thin profile.

Pricing and availability

European rollouts kick off Sept. 11, while US carrier and retail launches are still pending, so stateside buyers will have to hold tight a bit longer.

SEE ALSO: TCL just launched two ultra-slim 'art' TVs at IFA — and they are officially chasing Samsung’s crown Tablets: One for your bag, one for your couch

TCL also dropped four new tablets in its TAB A1 Series, split into two sizes. The 11-inch models (TAB A1 and TAB A1 NXTPAPER) are super light and easy to throw in a backpack for quick browsing or reading on a flight.

If you want something bigger to binge TV shows or doodle with a stylus, the 12.2-inch "Plus" models give you way more screen space, smoother scrolling, and a massive 10,000mAh battery so you aren't hunting for an outlet every five minutes.

Pricing and availability

The TAB A1 series is already rolling out globally, with prices hovering around $190 to $299 depending on screen size and configuration.

TVs: Absurdly bright screens and framed art

On the TV front, TCL is pushing Mini LED tech to its absolute limits. The standout TCL X11L comes in massive 75-, 85-, and 98-inch sizes and hits 110,000-nit peak brightness. That is tech-speak for "this TV is bright enough to cut through direct sunlight in your living room while keeping dark scenes ink-black." It even has high-end Bang & Olufsen sound built right in.

For living rooms where a giant black mirror ruins the aesthetic, TCL also introduced the A400 Pro NXTVISION TV. It uses a matte, anti-reflective display wrapped in a light walnut woodgrain frame, allowing it to seamlessly blend into your wall as a digital art display when you aren't binge-watching your favorite shows.

SEE ALSO: Best Labor Day TV deals: Our favorite deals on TCL, LG, Samsung, and more Pricing and availability

The flagship is already rolling out in Europe, and US listings for the X11L are already live, priced between $3,499 (discounted) for the 75-inch screen and $9,999 for the 98-inch model. Meanwhile, TCL has yet to confirm the exact release dates for the art-focused A400 Pro.

If your wallet can handle the hit, your eyes — and your living room setup — are definitely in for an upgrade. Learn more at TCL.

Trump held a midterm convention in Texas on Wednesday, and attendance levels were already looking a bit shaky based on the number of Republicans making excuses about why they wouldn't be able to go.

In the clip above, Jimmy Kimmel gleefully analyses the number of empty seats in the room, first playing a clip of Trump maintaining that the room was packed despite video footage to the contrary

"Could there be a better metaphor for this presidency than him bragging about the size of his crowd to a bunch of empty seats? I don't think so. When does the kid come out and inform the emperor that he has no clothes? That arena was as empty as a Waymo," Kimmel says. "This is what happens in North Korea. It is really terrifying that this is the news that some people are getting exclusively."
