3 real-world uses for the SEQUENCE function in Excel

How-To Geek - Mon, 04/20/2026 - 16:30

If you're clicking and dragging in Excel to create long lists of data, you're still in old-school mode. The SEQUENCE function is a modern dynamic array tool that generates entire series of values from a single formula, making it a powerful tool for automated headers and complex grids.

This Korean sleeper sedan embarrasses cars that costs twice as much

How-To Geek - Mon, 04/20/2026 - 16:15

Performance and refinement are usually expected to come with a premium price tag, especially in the midsize sedan world where European badges often dominate the conversation. But every so often, a car arrives that quietly delivers far more than its price suggests—offering the kind of speed, comfort, and road presence that makes far more expensive rivals feel difficult to justify.

Tariff refund site: What it is, how to use it

Mashable - Mon, 04/20/2026 - 16:15

U.S. Customs and Border Protection will be launching a tariff refund site for international importers on Monday, April 20.

The current tariff situation is, frankly, confusing. First, the Supreme Court ruled 6-3 in February that President Donald Trump does not have the power to unilaterally impose tariffs under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act of 1977 (IEEPA), striking down one of the president's signature policies. After the ruling, Trump called the justices "fools" and "lapdogs" and pledged to implement a 10-percent global tariff.

As a result of the ruling, many importers will be eligible for refunds for the unconstitutional tariff fees levied against them.

What is the new tariff refund site?

The tariff refund site will be administered through U.S. Customs and Border Protection and is scheduled to launch on Monday, April 20.

The new Consolidated Administration and Processing of Entries (CAPE) portal will be available through the Automated Commercial Environment (ACE) website. More information can be found in a regularly updated CBP blog post.

"CAPE is designed to consolidate refunds of IEEPA duties including interest rather than processing refunds on an entry-by-entry basis," the website states.

Want to learn more about getting the best out of your tech? Sign up for Mashable's Top Stories and Deals newsletters today.

Who is eligible for refunds?

The CAPE portal is designed for companies who paid tariff fees, importers of record, and authorized customs brokers. These entities will need to submit a declaration through the CAPE portal.

"Importers and authorized brokers should anticipate that valid IEEPA refunds will generally be issued within 60-90 days following acceptance of the CAPE Declaration, unless a compliance concern requires further CBP review," the CBP writes.

Can American consumers get refunds, too?

While the CAPE portal is designed for importers, companies like Costco and FedEx have pledged to pass along refunds to affected customers, according to Axios.

If you're hoping for prices to come down as a result of the Supreme Court ruling, as we reported at the time, this is unlikely.

"Consumers shouldn’t see meaningful price relief soon," Ravin Gandhi, CEO of GMM Nonstick Coatings and an expert on tariffs, told Mashable in February.

"Tariffs were just one piece in the overall pricing structure — and businesses don’t typically lower prices immediately when a cost input disappears — especially with so much inflationary pressure," Gandhi said. "Even though the ruling is legally significant, the short-term economic impact may not happen as fast as the headlines are suggesting."

$299 Save $74.75   Get Deal at Amazon

If you're tired of your earbuds falling out during calls or reaching for your phone every time it dings, you might want to consider a smart wearable like the Ray-Ban Meta Smart Glasses.

SEE ALSO: Apple is reportedly working on an AI pin wearable that is AirTag-sized

Right now, you can get 'em for $224.25, down from $299, at Amazon. That's a 25% discount, or $74.75 in savings, and the lowest price we've seen these smart glasses go for yet.

You wouldn't know it just by looking at them, but these frames have a lot going on. Mashable's former East Coast Tech Editor, Kimberly Gedeon, tested them out on her commute and called the open-ear audio "crisp, full, and rich — total ear candy." They also feature an ultra-wide 12MP camera for hands-free photos and 60-second videos, plus a built-in Meta AI that can answer questions or translate languages in real-time.

And, if wearing a microphone and camera on your face sounds a little intimidating, you can easily tweak the privacy settings or turn off voice commands whenever you want.

The NBA is a unique sport. There's nothing else in which incredibly tall athletes can be made to look absolutely tiny by aliens who can dunk without leaving the ground. And almost all of these shockingly tall athletes display a skillset that mere mortals can't even fathom.

The NBA could make a legitimate argument that it hosts the very best athletes in the world. Sure, the NFL might disagree. And rugby definitely attracts some special specimens. But the NBA has a bunch of seven footers dunking on each other. That's tough to beat.

NYT Connections Sports Edition today: Hints and answers for April 20, 2026

Mashable - Mon, 04/20/2026 - 14:50

Today's Connections: Sports Edition will be a little easier if you know your sports teams.

As we've shared in previous hints stories, this is a version of the popular New York Times word game that seeks to test the knowledge of sports fans.

Like the original Connections, the game is all about finding the "common threads between words." And just like Wordle, Connections resets after midnight and each new set of words gets trickier and trickier — so we've served up some hints and tips to get you over the hurdle.

If you just want to be told today's puzzle, you can jump to the end of this article for the latest Connections solution. But if you'd rather solve it yourself, keep reading for some clues, tips, and strategies to assist you.

SEE ALSO: Mahjong, Sudoku, free crossword, and more: Play games on Mashable What is Connections: Sports Edition?

The NYT's latest daily word game has launched in association with The Athletic, the New York Times property that provides the publication's sports coverage. The sports 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 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 before 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.

Marvel at Earthset video from Artemis II, shot on iPhone

Mashable - Mon, 04/20/2026 - 13:57

The staggering visuals from the Artemis II mission just keep coming.

On Sunday, Commander Reid Wiseman shared an extraordinary video he shot on an iPhone 17 Pro Max from inside NASA's Orion spacecraft, and it's a stunner.

"Like watching sunset at the beach from the most foreign seat in the cosmos, I couldn’t resist a cell phone video of Earthset," Wiseman wrote in an X post. The moment when Earth appears to sink below the moon's horizon, Earthset was captured by the Artemis II crew from Orion on April 6, 2026, during the historic lunar flyby.

This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.

"I could barely see the Moon through the docking hatch window but the iPhone was the perfect size to catch the view," Wiseman added.

For this "uncropped, uncut" video, the commander used an iPhone 17 Pro Max, which has a 48 megapixel triple rear camera array with 8x optical-quality zoom (which Apple claims is "the longest iPhone Telephoto ever"). When Mashable's Stan Schroeder reviewed the iPhone 17 Pro Max, he praised the zoom as "not just a parlor trick" and recommended "you should use the zoom feature on this phone, and use it often." Turns out shooting Earthset from space was an optimal opportunity to put said zoom to the test, one few of us will ever get.

SEE ALSO: This historic photo tells the Artemis II story in a single shot

Latest model iPhones aren't the only gadgets the Artemis II team had onboard. The shutter sound you can hear in the video, Wiseman noted, is mission specialist Christina Koch snapping away with her Nikon D5 (7731.T) camera, ​a digital single-lens reflex (DSLR) model with a 400-millimetre lens, using three-shot bracketing (triggering rapid automatic shots to capture the same image multiple times). Two Nikon cameras (the D5 and a Z9), alongside four modified GoPros (reportedly Hero 11s), allowed the astronauts to document the visual delights of their mission.

Koch's resulting Earthset images, just like Wiseman's video, are nothing short of marvellous — as NASA writes, "is reminiscent of the iconic Earthrise image taken by astronaut Bill Anders 58 years earlier as the Apollo 8 crew flew around the Moon."

Earthset, captured Apr. 6, 2026, by Christina Koch. Credit: NASA

Where were the other two Artemis II astronauts during this glorious Earthset? Reid said pilot Victor Glover "was in window 3 watching," with Canadian astronaut Jeremy Hansen "next to him." As Mashable space reporter Elisha Sauers explains, "They spent about seven hours rotating through observation shifts on the sixth day of the mission, swapping lenses, calling out features, and firing off photos as the spacecraft arced around the far side of the moon."

The historic Artemis II mission has seen the internet fiercely glued to their social media feeds, with the crew beaming home content during the 10-day flight around the moon. Just because they're back on Earth doesn't mean the content stops.

John Oliver takes an eye-opening deep dive into predictions markets

Mashable - Mon, 04/20/2026 - 12:51

Prediction markets, which essentially allow users to gamble on almost anything, are on the rise. But what are the ethics of companies that allow people to bet on the possibility of nuclear war?

In the latest episode of Last Week Tonight John Oliver unpacks that exact question, while also digging into other issues — like the possibility of insider trading — faced by leading platforms Kalshi and Polymarket.

"It sure seems like right now we've effectively got gambling sites operating even in states where gambling is illegal, and offering bets on things that there have been laws against for over a decade now," Oliver says in the clip above. "There are a bunch of cases making their way through the courts right now, but it's not clear how they'll resolve, and it's probably going to be in front of the Supreme Court. Meanwhile, Congress is considering a number of proposals tackling aspects of this issue, although given that the President of the United States has a kid currently advising both major companies, I wouldn't hold your breath."

SEE ALSO: How online prediction markets got people betting on nuclear war

Meaningful policy change in the near future, Oliver says, seems unlikely.

"But at some point we do need to put in place some basic guardrails here. And until then, if we can't change how these sites operate, we should at least try and change how we individually see them. One thing that would frankly help is if news organisations stopped laundering these companies' reputations for them by putting their odds on screen like they are actual news," the host continues.

"Look, on a personal level, if you're considering using these markets to gamble, try and remember that you are statistically likely to lose money. And while I am not against gambling per se, there is something so grim about these sites turning every aspect of our lives into a bet. Because sure, money can be won on them. But in that happening, something also gets lost. Specifically a society where things aren't only weighed in financial terms and where people engage with news for what it means to human beings, not just because they have $50 riding on it. And when something unexpected happens in the world, it would be really nice not to have to automatically question whether it's only because someone is trying to move a market."

Tesla is rolling out Robotaxis in 2 more cities

Mashable - Mon, 04/20/2026 - 12:46

Tesla's Robotaxis will hit the streets in two more cities: Dallas and Houston.

Announced by the Elon Musk-owned company on X over the weekend, Tesla is rolling out its autonomous rideshare vehicles in additional Texas locations, after launching in Austin in June 2025.

This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.

Tesla also shared maps of where Robotaxis will be available in Houston and Dallas, which are much less initially penis-shaped maps than its Austin release. In Houston, Robotaxis will be available in the northwest around Jersey Village and Willowbrook; in Dallas, the service will cover a central/north area around Highland Park.

This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.

The service, which has come with its fair share of teething issues, lets passengers be chauffeured around town by autonomous Tesla Model Y cars. In the video shared by Tesla on Saturday (above), there is no human driver or safety monitor in the passenger seat — exactly how "unsupervised" the Robotaxi rides technically are has made a few headlines about remote human oversight.

"We began testing driverless Robotaxis in Austin in December and began removing the safety monitor from customer rides in January on a limited basis, which will unlock further expansion of our Robotaxi fleet and coverage area in the Austin-metro," reads Tesla's Q4 earnings deck from Jan. 2025. Tesla has also been testing Robotaxi pickups from San José Mineta International Airport in the San Francisco Bay Area, "with plans to expand to other major airports in the Bay Area upon receiving required permitting."

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

Tesla's main competitor, Waymo, already operates for select riders in Dallas, Houston, and San Antonio in Texas, as well as being open to the general public in Austin and major U.S. cities including Nashville, Atlanta, Los Angeles, Phoenix, the San Francisco Bay Area, and most recently, Miami and Orlando — though it hasn't been a smooth rollout by any means.

In 2026, following a $16 billion financing round, Waymo is eyeing the likes of over 20 more cities including New York, Chicago, Charlotte, and many more; beyond the U.S., London and Tokyo are up next.

Uber, meanwhile, also has its sights set on Dallas, recently committing $10 billion to robotaxis in ​at least 28 cities by 2028.
