One of the best things about Home Assistant is how it can be expanded to incorporate a wide array of devices, add-ons, and remote services. But not all of these have to be directly related to your smart home.

Creators are expected to constantly be coming up with new content. But what to do when your well of ideas runs dry?

That was the topic at the Vidcon 2026 panel, Never Running Out of Ideas: How to Build a Content Strategy That Keeps Your Audience Hooked.

Moderated by television personality Shira Lazar, this panel brought together professional creators Anthpo and Siow Wei to discuss how they ideate, pick what to work on next, and whether what they've made is good enough to post online. (Alex Ojeda was billed, but did not ultimately attend.)

The American influencer is best known for concocting the viral Timothee Chalamet look-a-like contest and creating characters like Cheeseball Man and Kid with Crocs.

During the panel, he shared that he has a Google Doc filled with ideas, and also uses his phone's Notes app to scribble down any inspirations that come to mind while on the go. "I'd say ideation is a muscle," he mused. "The more you do it, the more your mind is constantly racing."

To that end, Anthpo said he uses flights as a space to create, working the ideation muscle. "I'll do [it] every plane ride I take," he explained. "I don't do anything other than write in my Notes app."

How do creators pick which idea is worth doing?

Siow Wei is a Malaysian content creator who was featured on Forbes 30 under 30 last year for the massive success she's had under the handle im_siowei. By creating an array of characters for family-friendly comedy videos, she's become one of Asia's biggest content creators.

However, she told the panel at VidCon she didn't set out to make kid-friendly comedy. When evaluating the data of how her videos were doing, it was that demographic where she was most thriving. Data is what drives her decisions as she builds her library and brand.

Anthpo noted he and Siow Wei come from different schools of thought on what to prioritize. For him, it's more about a gut feeling. "Once you have an idea, there's like two litmus tests," he said. "There's, like, the data side, which is super powerful. And then there's also, like, the emotional side." For him, he's excited when he comes up with something "very experimental," or that "feels [magical] and also executable."

He emphasized the importance of following your passion for an idea. Referencing the Rick Rubin book, The Creative Act, Anthpo paraphrased a piece of the author's advice, saying, "If you have a really great idea and you don't execute it, somebody else in the zeitgeist will do it. And I found that to be 100% true. If I'm like, 'That's a great idea,' and I don't do within the first six months, someone does it."

Siow Wei uses WhatsApp to communicate with her team and test out jokes. Anthpo uses a group of friends whom he knows won't lie to spare his feelings.

"The meanest people in my life are by far my most valuable assets," he explained, "like the people that are just like, 'Yo, this video sucks, bro.' Those people are so valuable to me. I've got probably seven of them. If I send a video or an idea to them, and all seven of them are like 'that's good,' it always rips."

What do content creators do when they're running out of ideas?

Siow Wei has a collection of comedy characters, like Swaggy, Randy, Besty, Richy, and Billy. But she's always happy to expand her menagerie. "Okay, we have run out of content," she said, considering the scenario. "Okay, what's next? Let's create another character, there's more possibility that we can bring it into our content."

For Anthpo, he finds new ideas by trying something new.

"I've reinvented myself many times on the internet," he said. "I've been doing this for like 12 years now. I used to do sketch comedy. Then I was in a TikTok house. And then I made skits. And then I made college content, and then I [worked for Mr. Beast]. Then the past two years I've been doing these like anonymous stunts." He noted what he's doing recently is being called performance art, while he's been dubbed "dumb internet Banksy," and he's cool with that.

Anthpo champions not only taking risks, but also learning from your failures.

"I failed many, many, many, many, many times," he said, noting that failure can be a great teacher, providing "data" for how to improve.

What every creator should know — according to Anthpo and Siow Wei

Both agreed you should know about the purple horse (or cow). Anthpo explained this marketing concept to the audience. Essentially, if you see a horse along the side of the road, you might notice it. But you won't stop your trip to see it. However, if you see a purple horse, you'll stop your car to take a closer look.

Translated to the creator economy, you want to be the purple horse, the something special in the landscape that makes people stop and pay attention.

For Anthpo, he does that by chasing what excites him. "[What] I like to chop it down to is I like to delight people," he said. "Give them something they haven't seen before, or give them a feeling they want to consistently feel."

Siow Wei added: "Put that purple horse in the first three seconds [of your video]."

She explained how the unique way she drinks boba tea has hooked viewers, "so you're catching the attention," rather than getting lost in an endless scroll online.

Last but not least, both creators emphasized the importance of building a team you can trust. Anthpo put it succinctly, saying, "Be surrounded by people who are joyous and don't drag you down and are going to be kind, but also aren't afraid to be like, 'Yo, this video is trash.'"

SAVE $500: As of June 27, the DJI Mini 5 Pro Fly More Combo is listed for $1,099 at Amazon. Although not listed as on sale, this beginner-friendly drone has been sat at $1,599 for much of 2026.

We were treated to a wave of impressive deals on DJI drones over Prime Day. Seriously, almost every model was down to its best-ever price.

By now most content creators will be aware of the restrictions on DJI products in the U.S.. But it's important to note that buyers can still purchase and use drones that are already available through normal retailers. The new rules only impact future imports. Devices that are already in stock can still be sold, including the DJI Mini 5 Pro.

This was one of the few drones to not get a discount over Prime Day. And you could argue that it still hasn't, but we've been tracking the price of this drone for some time, and we can tell you with confidence that $1,099 is a decent deal. It has been listed for $1,599 for much of 2026, so you're getting good value for money with this list price.

This model is an ultra-light, palm-sized foldable drone that can fit into your pocket. It's small but mighty, delivering 42GB of internal storage, a 1-inch CMOS sensor that records 4K/60fps HDR video, and a 225° flexible gimbal that lets you take vertical shots and video from multiple angles.

That's not all: The nightscape omnidirectional obstacle sensor with forward-facing LiDAR helps detect obstacles, so you're investment shouldn't smash into the nearest tree. It also has an upgraded ActiveTrack 360° which keeps the subjects of your shot in frame. It's a content creators dream.

Forget Prime Day — get this DJI drone deal from Amazon this weekend.

Conditional formatting and PivotTables are two of Excel's most powerful features, but they don't always play nicely together. Apply a standard color scale or data bar to a PivotTable, and a refresh, filter, or layout change can quickly throw things off. Fortunately, Excel includes a lesser-known PivotTable-aware mode that scopes formatting rules to fields rather than fixed worksheet ranges.

This season of F1 is unlike any other. Every season of F1 has a number of fascinating storylines to follow, but due to a major set of regulation changes, there's so much uncertainty right now. And uncertainty can lead to exciting racing.

Lando Norris secured an incredible title victory on the final day of last season. Now the pressure is on McLaren to defend that title against a long list of talented drivers and motivated teams. Expect the likes of George Russell, Kimi Antonelli, Lando Norris, and Lewis Hamilton to challenge for race wins this season. Mercedes look like the team to beat this season, but Ferrari are not far behind.

As the 2026 FIFA World Cup moves across the United States, traveling fans have been filling their off days with a very American tourist activity: going to an MLB game.

From Fenway Park to Yankee Stadium, MLB stadiums are suddenly filling with bagpipes, kilts, Viking hats, flags, singing, and a new crop of baseball fans learning the game in real-time.

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

It all started on June 14, the day after Scotland beat Haiti 1-0 in Foxborough for its first World Cup win since 1990, when a pack of Scottish fans marched through Boston and into Fenway Park for a Red Sox-Rangers game that had already been planned as Scottish Heritage Night. Kismet!

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

Flocks of fans in kilts and Scotland jerseys packed sections of the ballpark, sang through the game, and brought such electric energy that Red Sox president Sam Kennedy later wrote to the Scottish Football Association, thanking the Tartan Army for turning Fenway into “a meeting point between two sporting cultures."

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

From there, the ballpark tour continued. With several days between Scotland’s World Cup matches, fans also made their way to Yankee Stadium on June 16, taking over part of the upper deck as the Yankees played the White Sox.

But, no, they didn't stop there.

June 22, ahead of Scotland’s World Cup match against Brazil, thousands of Scotland fans marched from Ball & Chain in Little Havana to loanDepot park for the Marlins’ game against the Texas Rangers.

Inside the ballpark, roughly 8,000 members of the Tartan Army were part of an announced crowd of 20,008. Starter Tyler Phillips called the atmosphere “unbelievable” in a post-game press conference and said, “I would have us paying those people to show up to the games.” (He may have been joking, but the Marlins ticket office should at least hear him out.) Cody Freeman was also awestruck.

Scotland is not the only fanbase bringing World Cup energy to MLB. On June 24, a group of Norway fans showed up at Citi Field for the Mets’ doubleheader against the Cubs, shortly after Norway’s 3-2 win over Senegal at MetLife Stadium helped send the team to the knockout stage for the first time since 1998.

The Norwegian fans turned part of the outfield seats red, wore Viking hats, waved flags, danced in the stands, and performed the now-viral “Viking Row” celebration in the bleachers. Mr. and Mrs. Met even joined in. We love the commitment.

Some World Cup teams are even leaning in. On June 18, England’s national team visited Kauffman Stadium during its World Cup stay in Kansas City, where manager Thomas Tuchel threw out the ceremonial first pitch before a Royals game. According to social media, it was a strike, for sure.

The Rangers, meanwhile, have capitalized on this new fanbase, building World Cup-themed promotions around the tournament, including fútbol-style jerseys, a global scarf giveaway, country flag patches, and a “Guide to Texas Baseball” for international visitors heading to Globe Life Field.

Baseball may not have been on every World Cup fan’s itinerary, but it has become one of the tournament’s best off-day surprises. It's awesome to see everyone having a good time at regular-season baseball games again, even if half the crowd is still figuring out what counts as a strike.

The 2026 World Cup has come to the final day of the group stage, and there are major star names taking to the pitch. Both Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo want to add more goals to their career totals as Argentina and Portugal aim to win their respective groups.

Today, June 27, showcases a total of six matches, including action from England and Croatia.

It all kicks off today at 5 p.m. ET, with respective group games scheduled to take place simultaneously. Here's everything you need to know to tune in live today.

FIFA World Cup schedule today: June 27

• Group L: Panama vs. England (New York New Jersey Stadium) — kickoff at 5 p.m. ET

• Group L: Croatia vs. Ghana (Philadelphia Stadium) — kickoff at 5 p.m. ET

• Group K: Colombia vs. Portugal (Miami Stadium) — kickoff at 7.30 p.m. ET

• Group K: DR Congo vs. Uzbekistan (Atlanta Stadium) — kickoff at 7.30 p.m. ET

• Group J: Jordan vs. Argentina (Dallas Stadium) — kickoff at 10 p.m. ET

• Group J: Algeria vs. Austria (Kansas City Stadium) — kickoff at 10 p.m. ET

How to watch FIFA World Cup games todayWatch Panama vs. England

England scored an opening win against Croatia, which cast the Three Lions as serious contenders. But a frustrating draw against Ghana felt like a step back, so England are aiming to decisively beat Panama and get their World Cup dream back on track.

Live coverage will be on Fox and Fox One. Peacock will carry the live Spanish-language coverage.

Watch Croatia vs. Ghana

Croatia bounced back from the England loss to beat Panama 1-0 in their last game. A win against Ghana in this last group game would secure them second place in Group L and an automatic spot in the knockout stage. Can Luka Modric lead them to success? Or will Ghana hold firm as they did against England?

Live coverage will be on FS1 and Fox One. Peacock will carry the live Spanish-language coverage.

Watch Colombia vs. Portugal

Cristiano Ronaldo rediscovered his form in a 5-0 win over Uzbekistan, scoring two goals. Now Portugal must beat group leaders Colombia to win Group K overall. Ronaldo will also want to match GOAT rival Lionel Messi for number of goals scored at the tournament.

Live coverage will be on Fox and Fox One. Peacock will carry the live Spanish-language coverage.

Watch DR Congo vs. Uzbekistan

On paper this game should be a straightforward win for DR Congo, with the Central African squad hoping to advance to the knockout stage. But there are no guarantees at this level, and struggling Uzbekistan want to exit the tournament with a win.

Live coverage will be on FS1 and Fox One. Peacock will carry the live Spanish-language coverage.

Watch Jordan vs. Argentina

Few fans would predict Jordan to win over defending champions Argentina, particularly with Lionel Messi in goal-scoring form. Messi has scored five in two games and has already beaten the all-time World Cup goal scorer record. How many more will he add to his total against Jordan?

Live coverage will be on Fox and Fox One. Peacock will carry the live Spanish-language coverage.

Watch Algeria vs. Austria

There's not much between these teams. Both have won one, lost one so far, and they'e now battling for second place in Group J. Austria are probably the favorites here but anything can happen with the knockouts on the horizon.

Live coverage will be on FS1 and Fox One. Peacock will carry the live Spanish-language coverage.

• Apple iPhone 17 — free when you trade in your eligible phone on an Experience More or Experience Beyond plan.

• Apple iPhone 17 Pro — free when you switch to T-Mobile and bring your number on an Experience More or Experience Beyond plan.

T-Mobile isn't handing over these sleek devices out of the goodness of its heart. The retail cost of your new phone is offset by 24 consecutive monthly bill credits. Your monthly statement will show a standard charge for financing the phone, which is immediately balanced out by an equal credit to bring that charge to nothing.

You are signing up for a 24-month commitment with the network. If you decide to cancel your service, switch to another carrier, or try to upgrade to the iPhone 18 before those 24 months are up, the remaining unpaid balance on the phone's retail value will become due immediately.

You'll also have to cover the standard upfront taxes and a one-time $35 activation fee. But with Apple's prices actively trending upward, paying a small fee upfront to lock down the latest iPhone 17 for the next two years is one of the smartest financial moves you can make in the current tech landscape.
