Global superstar Rihanna enters "her blue era" in the trailer for the upcoming Smurfs, which sees her playing Smurfette. She's the latest in a string of pop stars to take on the role, with Katy Perry voicing her in 2011's The Smurfs and 2013's The Smurfs 2, and Demi Lovato taking on the role in 2017's Smurfs: The Lost Village.

Inspired by the comics of Belgian artist Peyo, 2025's Smurfs once again sees the titular blue creatures leaving their idyllic village for our real world. This time, they're on the hunt for Papa Smurf (voiced by John Goodman, The Righteous Gemstones), who's been kidnapped by the evil wizards Gargamel and Razamel. They find themselves in Paris, where they ally themselves with Papa Smurf's brother (Parks and Recreation's Nick Offerman).

Watch the trailer above to meet Rihanna's Smurfette, a bizarre influencer Smurf, and more. Bonus points if you can count how many times they say "smurf." (Warning: It's a lot.)

Smurfs hits theaters July 18.

At the top of each Apple Cider Vinegar episode, characters break the fourth wall and tell us, "This is a true story based on a lie."

The true story in question? The rise and fall of Australian influencer Belle Gibson (Booksmart's Kaitlyn Dever), who used her brain cancer diagnosis to build a wellness empire. The lie? That she ever had cancer in the first place.

Netflix's Apple Cider Vinegar examines how Belle's lie came to be, placing it in the context of the rise of Instagram and influencer stardom. The limited series also dramatizes the lives of key people in her orbit, from a rival wellness influencer to a cancer patient who hangs onto Belle's every word. These story threads should help flesh out the full impact of Belle's actions, but in reality, they turn Apple Cider Vinegar into a strange paradox. The show is a flashy examination of so-called wellness influencers, but it's also a very upsetting cancer story — and neither side gets quite the depth it deserves.

Apple Cider Vinegar takes a nonlinear approach to Belle's story, beginning with her 2015 meeting with a crisis management PR firm following the exposure of her lies. Then, the show jumps back in time to show us how she first lied about having brain cancer, how she claimed she had mitigated the cancer through healthy eating and a natural lifestyle, and how these fabrications spiraled into the popular app The Whole Pantry. The show's jumbled chronology has little impact though, seeming more like a tool to give Apple Cider Vinegar the guise of prestige TV sheen than an actual meaningful narrative device.

Belle's isn't the only story at the heart of Apple Cider Vinegar. The show also introduces us to Milla Blake (Alycia Debnam-Carey, It's What's Inside), a fictionalized version of "wellness warrior" Jessica Ainscough. Unlike Belle, though, Milla actually has cancer. At age 22, she was diagnosed with undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma in her arm. But instead of amputating her arm, as recommended by her team of doctors, she chose to pursue a "natural" treatment path involving juicing and coffee enemas. Her blog on the subject earns her quite the following, including an obsessive Belle, who sees Milla as the blueprint for who she wants to be.

Rounding out the main cast of Apple Cider Vinegar are breast cancer patient Lucy (Tilda Cobham-Hervey), who hopes to follow in Belle's footsteps and stop medical treatment, and Milla's close friend Chanelle (Aisha Dee), who becomes entangled in Belle's business. Each represents a different kind of victim. Lucy's belief in Belle's lies results in great physical harm. Chanelle, on the other, realizes she's been caught up in a predatory financial scam.

Based on the scam-heavy nature of Apple Cider Vinegar, it's hard not to draw comparisons to another Netflix true crime show: Inventing Anna. Like Anna Delvey, Belle has her fair share of horrendous girlboss moments that boggle the mind and will keep viewers pressing play on further episodes. But her scam also involves cancer, a deeply painful subject matter that is at odds to Apple Cider Vinegar's frothy approach to elements of Belle's story.

Apple Cider Vinegar is bursting with stylized sequences. In a jam-packed opening, Britney Spears's "Toxic" blares while Dever, Debnam-Carey, Cobham-Hervey, and Dee perform a choreographed dance in gold sparkly dresses. Throughout the show, during scenes involving social media, comments and posts pop up on screen, while glowing thumbs up and heart emojis swirl around Belle as she gets the attention she so craves. With all these elements, as well as a nonstop parade of big-name needle drops and gorgeous stars, Apple Cider Vinegar co-opts the aesthetics of aspirational social media posts in order to highlight just how big a role these platforms played in Belle's rise. But in making use of this visual language, is it really commenting on how shallow and artificial influencers' posts can be? Or is it falling prey to that very same artificiality?

Both things can be true. Apple Cider Vinegar's flashiness is undoubtedly an effort to critique Milla and Belle's approach to social media. Several scenes show them painstakingly drafting their posts in the hopes of walking that perfect line between relatable and unattainable. After all, it takes a lot of effort to appear effortless.

Yet Apple Cider Vinegar barely dives into how social media can actually perpetuate harmful messaging around health. We don't understand what led Milla or Belle to be so "naturally" focused in the first place beyond some nods to vague "research," so their strict adherence to their lifestyles feels hollow and somewhat unmotivated. Meanwhile, Lucy's character becomes the stand-in for Apple Cider Vinegar to explain how what Belle and Milla are doing is harmful, but she's so often sidelined that that messaging just falls away.

Belle's manipulation is what most viewers will be familiar with, and what spawns the most cringeworthy sequences of the show, all at her expense. But it's Milla's storyline that is the hardest to watch. Her refusal to treat her cancer — along with forcing her family members to partake in her "all-natural" lifestyle — is some of the most upsetting TV I have seen in a while. It borders on body horror, not in the sense that Apple Cider Vinegar is showing us gore, but in the sense that Milla is violating her own body in order to try to uphold an impossible standard of health. To watch anyone buy into it in the show is nothing short of nauseating.

Yet how much of this reaction comes from what Apple Cider Vinegar is actually showing us, versus audience members bringing their own emotional experiences with cancer to the show? Despite strong performance by Dever and Debnam-Carey, I know that my main reaction to Apple Cider Vinegar was less tied to Belle and Milla as characters, and more due to projecting my own family members and friends onto the cancer patients in the series.

On top of juggling complex topics about the beginnings of social media, wellness grifters, and the emotional weight of cancer, Apple Cider Vinegar also gets meta about its own status as a true crime show.

Not only does each episode begin with the aforementioned warning, they often come with another reminder, either spoken or written, that Belle Gibson was not paid for the recreation of her story.

These moments showcase Apple Cider Vinegar's efforts to distance itself from claims that it's glorifying its true crime story, claims which have impacted other Netflix series like Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story. But in drawing attention to Apple Cider Vinegar's roots in reality, the series feeds the fire of awed disbelief that makes people want to keep watching true crime in the first place.

SEE ALSO: Untangling true crime: Inside the ethics of Hollywood's greatest guilty pleasure

Apple Cider Vinegar chides the audience for that instinct too, at one point asking whether we even care about whether some names and characters were fictionalized. (At another point, we're told we can just Google what happened next, as if the series won't be held responsible for our continued interest in the subject it informed us on.) That scolding attitude is a double-edged sword. Yes, your audience may want to keep watching, but who made the series in the first place? Who brought more notoriety to Belle Gibson and glammed up her story with Instagram filters?

Apple Cider Vinegar's reflection on the true crime genre is still somewhat fascinating, but in the end, like so much of the show, it just lacks the depth or focus to get at the root of the issue.

Apple Cider Vinegar is now streaming on Netflix.

UPDATE: Feb. 6, 2025, 7:41 a.m. EST This article has been updated to reflect current streaming options.

There are two kinds of Super Bowl watchers: the ones that watch for the game and the ones that watch for the halftime show.

But, every now and then, a halftime show comes along that is so electrifying, it definitively overshadows the actual sporting event. A good halftime show has the power to transcend barriers, unite viewers all over the world, and make, break, or revitalize a career. These shows also light up the internet with memes and takes (see: left shark).

SEE ALSO: The 8 songs Rihanna should perform at the Super Bowl halftime show

This is by no means a comprehensive list. But below, in no particular order, are some of the most memorable performances to grace the football field. Actual football performances not included.

Rihanna and her baby bump (2023)

This writer found Rihanna's halftime show to be underwhelming and lacking energy. But since I am in the very small minority here, I will begrudgingly add RiRi's name to the list, since it was the most watched halftime show of all time with 121 million views and her relaxed delivery and lack of special guests was praised for letting Rihanna's iconic zero-fucks attitude and banger hits shine.

Rihanna hasn't released an album since 2016, so expectations about her setlist and who her "surprise guest" would be were all over the place. It turns out the surprise guest was her second child in utero, which she casually revealed by not directly calling attention to her pregnancy, but strutting on a suspended platform in an unzipped red jumpsuit. The anti-reveal reveal was so quintessentially Rihanna that the internet promptly lost its mind.

Effectively, Rihanna reminded everyone what we were missing and left us wanting more, which is just about as successful an outcome as any halftime performer could ask for. Here's hoping for new Rihanna music in 2025.

Prince (2007)

For Super Bowl XLI, the Indianapolis Colts and the Chicago Bears braved the pouring rain and driving winds (Colts won 29-17). But Prince fought those same elements while playing a live electric guitar, a pretty metal move considering water and electricity are a dangerous combination.

Unfazed, Prince set a high bar for halftime shows. He started with Queen's "We Will Rock You," and transitioned into his own "Let's Go Crazy," eventually bringing the stadium down with "Purple Rain." Watching him shred on his signature Prince symbol guitar in the pouring rain instantly became an iconic sight and solidified Prince's status as one of the best performers of all time. 

Coldplay, Bruno Mars, and Beyoncé but really just Beyoncé (2016)

Wait, the 2016 halftime show was headlined by Coldplay? We forgot because Beyoncé's special guest appearance completely stole the show. First Bruno Mars crashed the stage with "Uptown Funk," to which Beyoncé responded by storming the field with her perfectly synchronized backup dancers, performing "Formation." 

Wearing a military-style getup, a nod to Michael Jackson's halftime show outfit, Bey strutted to the stage and slayed (sorry) in a dance-off with Bruno Mars. By the time Coldplay's Chris Martin came back to the front, even he seemed to realize this was Beyoncé's moment.

Katy Perry (2015)

(Stefon voice) This show had everything: a giant lion puppet, a historic viral moment, inspired guest appearances, ample costume changes, and a shooting star. The 2015 halftime show may be best remembered for the left shark, but Katy Perry also put on a hell of a show. Perry came riding in the lion, then passed it off to Lenny Kravitz singing "I Kissed a Girl."

Then the left shark captivated the internet with its blasé dance moves. Through it all, Perry brought strong energy and impressively sang live. By the time Perry brought on Missy Elliot who performed "Work It" and "Lose Control," we knew this halftime show was one for the record books. Perry capped it all off by singing "Firework" as she was lifted up onto a shooting star. Bravo.

Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Eminem, Mary J. Blige, Kendrick Lamar and 50 Cent (2022)

In the comments of the official recording, one YouTuber said, "This is not just a concert, this is also a history class," which sums it up pretty well. Rapper and producer Dr. Dre's influence on hip hop can't be overstated. He's credited with launching the careers of Snoop Dogg, Eminem, Mary J. Blige, 50 Cent, Anderson .Paak, Kendrick Lamar, and many others. And during the 2022 halftime show he brought his famous friends to the stage for a legendary performance. 

The "history lesson" started with Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg performing "The Next Episode" and "California Love." The show played off the West Coast vs. East Coast rivalry with New York native 50 Cent rapping "In Da Club," while hanging upside down. Then Mary J. Blige belted out "Family Affair" and "No More Pain," followed by Kendrick Lamar delivering powerful renditions of "m.A.A.d City" and "Alright," and Eminem giving everyone goosebumps with "Lose Yourself." Dre even fit in a tribute to 2Pac. The show closed out with everyone on stage performing "Still D.R.E." A perfect close to a celebration of Dre and historic hip hop moments.

Diana Ross (1996) 

Pyrotechnics, mass-coordinated dance routines, and costume changes are de rigeur for halftime shows these days. But not only was Diana Ross the first to do it, her performance still holds up today. Ross performed a medley of some of her biggest hits including "Baby Love" and "Stop in the Name of Love" with her signature smile. Then, in the middle of singing "Ain't No Mountain High Enough," her gold cape spread across the entire stage as she rose on a scarily high platform. Then, the platform descended and she covered a banger version of Gloria Gaynor's "I Will Survive." 

Up until this point, Ross's performance was solid, but what happened next proves she is the ultimate diva queen. Ross casually said "Oh, here comes my ride," as a helicopter literally came to pick up. She sat on the edge of the chopper and waved to the crowd as it ferried her away, legs still dangling from the open helicopter door. That's how you make an exit.

Apple's got a new app. Launched seemingly out of nowhere earlier this week, Apple Invites is a free app, available on the App Store, that lets you create colorful invites to events that you can share with friends and family.

The app is very simple to use. Choose a background, set a title and location for your event, and you can start sending it to potential guests.

You can use your own photos, or choose from Apple's predefined backgrounds. Credit: Stan Schroeder / Mashable

While the app is free to use and anyone can freely receive invites, one caveat is that you can only send invites if you have a paid iCloud+ account. This is a bummer, but it makes some sense as storing the invites in the cloud does consume storage space. Apple iCloud+ accounts start at $0.99 per month, and Apple now lists Invites as one of the benefits of subscribing to iCloud+ (others include Hide My Email, HomeKit Secure Video, and iCloud Private Relay, as well as more storage for your data).

Apple Invites: How it works

To create a new invite, hit the "+" button in the upper right corner of the Apple Invites app. Start with adding a background; Apple lets you choose from pre-defined options which include emoji-themed, photographic, and colorful backgrounds, but you can also use a photo from your iPhone's library or take a photo with your camera, using the buttons in the top left of the "Add Background" menu.

Next, set a title for your event, choose date and time, and pick a location, which you can do by searching real world locations — and you can add an optional name for your location, which is useful if it's your house.

You can also add an event description with a 1,000 character limit, and the host's name. Finally, you can create a photo album, as well as an Apple Music playlist, and share it with participants.

Once you're done, you can invite guests by creating a shareable link. And if you need to send an update related to the event to your guests — such as detailed entry instructions or the fact that all the shrimp cocktails are sadly, already gone — you can do that via the "Send a Note" button.

Apple Invites: Tips and tricks

All of the above is pretty straightforward, and I'm sure you won't have any issues creating and sharing your event. But the app does have a couple of additional features that are easy to miss.

For example, tap on an existing event in the app, and then tap on the three dots menu in the upper right corner. From there, you can duplicate the event, which is handy when you're hosting repeating events, for example a Pokémon-themed pub quiz in your basement every Wednesday.

Some advanced options are hidden in Event Settings. Credit: Stan Schroeder / Mashable

For more options, hit Event Settings from the same menu. There, you can choose whether guests need your approval before they can join the event. You can also choose to only show the background image to guests after they've opened the invitation with a verified email address (maybe you don't just want anyone to see how great your basement is). For people who use a screen reader, you can provide a description of your invitation's background.

Finally, you can also cancel and delete the event, as well as pause replies (for the last time, there won't be free beer, folks, and I will not entertain any further inquiries).

There are a few other, somewhat hidden privacy options in the app, too. For example, once there's a group of guests coming, you can grant some of them the ability to invite their own guests to the event. Handy.

Sorry folks, this event is not for everyone. Credit: Stan Schroeder / Mashable

Also, when you invite guests, you can create a public link that allows anyone to join the event, but you can also just invite individual people with one-off links.

Apple Invites: Customizing your notifications

When you're hosting events — especially if they're big, and if you're hosting more than one — things can get messy fast. Apple Invites allows you to get push notifications about events, but fortunately, it also lets you be quite granular when it comes to choosing which types of notifications you want to see.

You might want to fine tune these. Credit: Stan Schroeder / Mashable

Tap on your profile image in the Invites app, and hit Push Notifications. From here, you can choose whether you only want to see notifications for events you're hosting, or events you're invited to.

You can also choose whether you want to see Apple's updates with recommendations, new features and tips, and offers related to the app.

Go a step back, and you'll be able to set whether you want to receive email updates about events you're hosting, or are invited to. This is unrelated to push notifications, and you can have both on or off at the same time.

Apple Invites: How to get it

This one is simple. Apple Invites is a free download at Apple's App Store. It requires iOS 18 or later, and you do need an iCloud+ account in order to send invites.

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.

Tweet may have been deleted

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.

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.

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.

What's the best Wordle starting word?

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. One tip is to select a word that includes at least two different vowels, plus some common consonants like S, T, R, or N.

What happened to the Wordle archive?

The entire archive of past Wordle puzzles was originally available for anyone to enjoy whenever they felt like it, but it was later taken down, with the website's creator stating it was done at the request of the New York Times. However, the New York Times then rolled out its own Wordle Archive, available only to NYT Games subscribers.

Is Wordle getting harder?

It might feel like Wordle is getting harder, but it actually isn't any more difficult than when it first began. You can turn on Wordle's Hard Mode if you're after more of a challenge, though.

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. Connections can be played on both web browsers and mobile devices and require players to group four words that share something in common.

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.

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.

Not the day you're after? Here's the solution to today's Connections.

If you're reading this, you're looking for a little help playing Strands, the New York Times' elevated word-search game.

Strands 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.

If you're feeling stuck or just don't have 10 or more minutes to figure out today's puzzle, we've got all the NYT Strands hints for today's puzzle you need to progress at your preferred pace.

While you should let your lover know you care every single day, Valentine's Day is a chance to go above and beyond to make that special someone feel extra special.

Flowers and chocolate will always have their place as Valentine's Day gifts, and are certainly nothing to sneeze at. However, if you're looking for a gift to properly spoil your significant other, give them something to brag about. Is your partner addicted to their Apple Watch? Could they use an elegant option to carry around their Kindle, wallet, and keys? Do they deserve an optimised, luxurious night's sleep?

If you want to ensure that they remember this Valentine's Day for years to come, you may want to think a bit bigger. Here are four luxurious yet affordable Valentine's Day gifts to help show your partner that they're priceless.

A watch is a classic gift, however practicality has prompted many to turn away from traditional timepieces in favour of multifunctional smartwatches. This doesn't mean these devices can't still look and feel luxurious, though. If your partner is addicted to their Apple Watch, consider gifting them a well-made leather strap to elevate their look. 

Bellroy's Classic Watch Strap is made from smooth, water-resistant leather, and distinguishes itself with its tuck-away strap. The end slides through the stainless steel buckle to comfortably hide between the wearer's wrist and strap, keeping it neatly in place. This means there isn't any fiddling around with band keepers which inevitably slide off, leaving the end of the strap sticking out in an unsightly manner. The leather is also unobtrusively embossed with Bellroy's attractive owl logo right by the buckle, which is a lovely little detail. 

The Classic Watch Strap is available in four different colours and two different sizes, so be sure to double check which option will fit your loved one's Apple Watch model. If you're unsure, try sneaking a peek at the back of the device when they take it off to charge.

Boasting a structured, boxy shape, MAISON de SABRÉ Medium Flap Bag will compliment practically any outfit, offering enough room for daily essentials like e-readers, smartphones, and earbuds while still remaining compact and stylish. This beautifully constructed yet practical handbag comes with two interchangeable straps, allowing your loved one to carry it on their shoulder or across their body according to their own preference, and has a magnetic enclosure for convenience. There's even a handy external slip pocket, which is useful for when your partner wants quick and easy access to their phone.

The Medium Flap Bag is also made of deliciously supple European leather which feels so satisfying to touch that it may entice your loved one to just keep stroking it like a cat.

If you want to give your gift an extra personal touch, you can have the Medium Flap Bag monogrammed. MAISON de SABRÉ will emboss up to two English letters or numbers on the detachable key bell free of charge, including the symbols "." "&" and "♡". You could fill the bag with your lover's favourite chocolates as well for an even more extravagant surprise — just make sure they're properly wrapped so they don't stain the blue twill interior.

If your loved one loves tea, an elegant yet practical teapot is unlikely to go wrong. A well-made teapot can distinctly elevate the daily ritual of drinking tea, helping to ensure it's a meditative moment of calm away from their screens.

The Isshin Teapot is a quality piece of teaware that pays beautiful attention to detail. Created in Tokoname, one of Japan's six most distinguished sites of ceramic production, the Isshin Teapot's well-fitted lid helps it to retain heat for much longer than you'd expect. Its carefully placed spout is resistant to overflowing, while the inbuilt ceramic strainer eliminates the danger of rust, deftly keeping tea leaves out of your cup without blocking your pour.

You can also pair the Isshin Teapot with a couple of teacups, its relatively neutral red and brown colour matching well with any you might choose. The gorgeous blue Moist Chrysanthemum Shape Yunomi Japanese Teacup has an inviting matte finish complimenting its smooth ridges, while the hand painted Tosen Kiln Sakura Kiyomizu Ware Japanese Tea Cup's white base allows the colour of the tea to shine through, encouraging drinkers to slow down and enjoy each sip.

This gift can also act as the promise of quality time together, where you and your loved one can sit and enjoy each other's company while enjoying a soothing cup of sencha.

Silk sheets certainly sound sumptuous for an elevated night's sleep. Unfortunately, their luxury is often offset by their lack of practicality, as they can stain easily and require delicate care. As such, gifting someone silk sheets is a bit like giving them a puppy: lovely in theory, but you may just be burdening the recipient with a lot more work. 

Linen is a far more durable option, yet still equally as luxurious as silk. Breathable and hypoallergenic, linen sheets are also suitable for people with sensitive skin, and regulate temperature so they can be used all year round. You never have to worry about ironing them either, as the natural, crumpled look simply adds to their charm.

Sheet Society's Eve Linen collection is made from 100 percent linen, and while it will only get softer with wear, it's already comfortable straight out of the box. The sheets are pre washed so you can start using them straight away, with quilt covers, fitted sheets, flat sheets, pillowcases, and European pillowcases all available separately so you can mix and match colours to style the perfect bed. The website even has a bed builder tool that you'll probably spend way too long playing with. 

Sewn with durable yet lightweight linen, Sheet Society's pillowcases have a deep lip that is around twice as wide as standard, preventing your pillow from sliding out while you sleep. The thick elastic and deep sides on the fitted sheets keep the fabric firmly in place, while the quilt covers' invisible zip ensures there's no unsightly gaping.

And for those hard-to-reach corners and edges, the Edge-Sweeping Brush won't miss any dust build-up.

Controlled from the iRobot Home App, you can do things like schedule cleans while you're away from home, check to see where it has cleaned, and more. And with up to 120 minutes of cleaning on one charge, if it doesn't manage your whole house, it'll return itself to the charging station to reboot.
