We all have a router, and we all neglect them. You've probably heard the tall tales of how heat affects performance, and you may not buy into it. However, the effects on electronic components are very real. Knowing the dangers could save you money, not only on routers but on all your expensive equipment.

Whether it’s finding your next train or taking a flight across the ocean, travel can be incredibly stressful. Google Wallet is already an essential travel app, but it’s getting a nice update that will make it even more useful on the go.

If you are shopping for a different vehicle these days, you have likely noticed how prominent hybrid options have become. What used to be a niche alternative is now a mainstream choice for almost every vehicle, from compact sedans and midsize SUVs to full-size pickups.

You've just unboxed and powered up your shiny new Windows laptop and once you've gone through the needlessly complicated OOBE (Out-of-Box Experience), you're good to go, right?

After seeing The Super Mario Galaxy Movie (stinky! not good!), I could really use a more positive piece of media to associate with Yoshi right now. It's fortuitous timing, then, that Yoshi and the Mysterious Book is right around the corner.

Nintendo's next upcoming Switch 2-exclusive (and, at this point in time, one of the only announced Switch 2 games with a release date) is out May 21, and I got to play a couple of hours of it at a preview event in NYC. While I'm still not entirely sure that this eminently lightweight, kid-friendly adventure is what I want out of a Yoshi game, it's got a really neat take on creative sandbox experimentation and an absolutely gorgeous visual style.

To put it simply, if you like throwing things at other things just to see what will happen — or if you need a new game your young kids can play without getting frustrated — then Yoshi and the Mysterious Book should be on your radar.

I will admit that before I got my hands on it, I had a bit of a hard time grasping the core concept of Yoshi's first starring adventure since 2019.

Mysterious Book simultaneously feels like it has a lot going on when you're flutter-jumping around one of its many vibrant, literary worlds. But on a macro level, it's really a game about just doing stuff until you don't feel like doing stuff anymore, without much in the way of time pressure (or any other kind of pressure) to stress the player out.

Its premise finds a group of colorful Yoshi dinosaurs hanging out with a, well, mysterious book called Mr. E. He's a cool, leatherbound encyclopedia with a mustache, but he also seems to have misplaced the contents of his pages, and it's up to Yoshi to jump inside the book and figure out as much information as possible about the fantastical creatures it documents.

Each chapter is a gorgeously illustrated tableau of various creatures hangin' out in their natural habitats, and zooming in on a creature will enter a level based around it.

Once you're in a level, the idea is to simply discover as many weird little systemic interactions between creatures and their environments as you can, primarily by either trying to eat them (as Yoshi is wont to do) or by stashing them on Yoshi's saddle and throwing them at different animals or objects. Discovering different types of interactions rewards the player with stars, which can be used to unlock more levels.

For example, the first level I played involved multi-colored flowers. When I tried to eat one, I got a star for discovering that you can convert them into eggs. When I carried one on my back and passed by a patch of grass, a field of flowers in the same color as the one I had on my back sprouted, giving me another star. The rest of the level mostly revolved around growing flowers in specific places to solve puzzles, and within a few minutes, I'd collected a bunch of stars and was able to leave whenever I wanted to.

Mysterious Book's flow sounds a bit basic and honestly boring when written out like that, but a couple of things keep it from feeling that way in practice.

For starters, simply moving Yoshi around these 2D side-scrolling sandboxes is a delight thanks to sharp platforming and egg-throwing mechanics that have worked for 30 years. Beyond that, Mysterious Book has a fairly jaw-dropping art style that evokes stop-motion animation in a 2D setting.

Some animations purposely have a lower frame rate to create that effect, and between that and the simply outstanding character and environmental art on display, Mysterious Book has one of the coolest looks for any Yoshi game ever.

It also helps that the levels progressively get more involved as they go. One of my favorites involved a certain type of bug that, for lack of a better term, body-snatched various objects in the environment to menace Yoshi. The level happened to be full of watermelons, which the bug could inhabit to turn into a flying seed-spitting machine gun, but luckily, Yoshi could also rapid-fire seeds by eating one.

After a while, the main objective of the level was to quickly eat watermelons before the bugs could get to them, and if they did get to one, the game briefly turned into a fun little side-scrolling shootout between Yoshi and a flying watermelon.

Of course, there were also lots of other goofy things going on in the environment, so if I wanted to, I could ignore the watermelon bugs and just poke and prod at other things to collect discovery stars.

Yoshi and the Mysterious Book is a very safe space

I'm very into the idea of little 2D sandboxes where everything can interact with everything else, and Yoshi and the Mysterious Book seems to be thoroughly constructed around that idea. My one and only potential hangup with it after the demo I played is that, as a demo attendant told me, Yoshi cannot take damage or die in this game. When the watermelon bugs spit seeds at Yoshi, the worst thing that can happen is that the player just gets a little annoyed.

This looks like a great time! I wish I was doing this instead of typing words on a computer. Credit: Nintendo

I'm not dense enough to misunderstand the target audience for Mysterious Book — young gamers.

I think kids will enjoy this Yoshi title even more than I did

This upcoming title is overtly kid-forward in a way that not every Nintendo game does, and that's broadly a good thing. The uncomplicated gameplay is ideal for young button mashers who just want to run around and try stuff.

I think it kicks ass that Nintendo is producing high-quality software that can be enjoyed by players young and old, especially in a world where seemingly every other game marketed to kids is some kind of Roblox nightmare. Having said that, removing any sense of risk from Mysterious Book made portions of the demo feel a bit aimless and not super exciting.

However, I'm open to the possibility that over the course of the full game, I'll be able to settle into Yoshi and the Mysterious Book's distinctly and, at times, delightfully lackadaisical rhythm. We'll find out together next month.

RebeccaBlackOS is a fan-made Linux distribution (the title is a reference to the singer of the viral song "Friday," which I'm listening to for the first time as I write this). It sounds like a meme distro, but unlike actual meme distributions (Hannah Montana and Justin Bieber Linux come to mind), RebeccaBlackOS wasn't abandoned within months. Its developers have regularly released updates for the past 14 years, with the latest upgrade rolling out on February 22, 2026. Surprisingly, it's actually a useful and practical distro for Linux users.

Today, dating app Hinge is launching a new feature to skip over the talking phase: Date Ideas.

With Date Ideas, users can share their intention to go out and meet in-person. When updating one's profile, a user can select three Date Idea options, including writing their own. Think: drinks, seeing a movie, taking a walk, going on a picnic, and the like.

SEE ALSO: Is Hinge really 'designed to be deleted'? I tested it to find out.

Then, if a potential match is viewing a profile with set Date Ideas, they can pick one and select when they're free from a drop-down menu. This doesn't automatically schedule a date (there's no integration with Hinge and Google Calendar...yet, anyway), but the intention of getting off the app is already there if they match.

Credit: Hinge

Date Ideas is the latest feature Hinge added to make it a little easier to meet and chat with someone instead of "liking" endlessly. In Dec., Hinge added AI-driven Convo Starters to avoid a lackluster first message. And last Feb., Hinge added Match Note, a private way daters can let someone know something intimate about them that may be difficult to bring up but they want them to know right away (f.e., that they're sober).

Every feature Hinge designs is built around the metric of getting people to meet in real life, Hinge's Chief Product and Technology Officer, Ben Celebicic, told Mashable. So, every feature starts with a challenge that daters feel.

"In this specific case, the core challenge we heard was that they match, they feel super excited about matching with someone, but then they get stuck in a messaging state and never make a plan," he said. The dreaded pen pal trap.

The app's research team, Hinge Labs, found that 79 percent of daters want to skip small talk and just plan a date, according to a March 2026 survey of 700 respondents. "So that's how this idea was born," Celebicic said.

Looking broadly at Hinge's plan for 2026, Celebicic said the team wants to stay attuned with what Gen Z wants. It seems that whatever Hinge is doing is working, seeing as its direct revenue and paying users have soared year-over-year both last year and the year before.

Tinder, meanwhile, is declining in both metrics. In a recent interview with the Financial Times, Spencer Rascoff — CEO of both Tinder and Match Group, Tinder and Hinge's parent company — said they want more women to use Tinder, and to increase the overall user base of the app.

Luxury SUVs from German brands have long set the standard for performance, prestige, and premium design. But for buyers who want sharper handling and more personality without paying the usual premium, one Italian contender makes a surprisingly strong case. It delivers the kind of driving engagement typically associated with a sports sedan, while still offering the space and practicality expected from an SUV.

I clearly remember the first time I walked into someone's house in the 1990s and saw a rear-projection TV. At the time, we had just upgraded to a 20-inch Panasonic TV, which was a big step up from the 11-inch TV we'd had up to that point.

Bridgerton star Nicola Coughlan is hosting SNL UK this week, four weeks after she had a cameo appearance in the first episode during Tina Fey's monologue — but you'd think she'd been away for years.

In the clip above Coughlan enters the stage with exaggerated nostalgia, greeting cast members Hammed Animashaun and Annabel Marlow as if she hasn't seen them in years.

"I don't even know if you guys remember me," she says. "It's Nicola Coughlan. I was actually here for the first ever episode of SNL UK."

A few moments later, after she's dismissed everyone, the host takes some time to yell at the empty theater.

"I'm back!" Coughlan cries. "Finally! Take that, Tina Fey! I'm the captain now."

In the online dating world, AdultFriendFinder and Plenty of Fish are certified OGs. These veteran dating sites were first established more than two decades ago, before both the social media era and the smartphone era. Yet both sites have continued to stay relevant, attracting millions of visitors from all over the world searching for connection. 

That, however, is just about where the similarities end. In fact, you’d have a hard time finding two online dating sites less alike. Plenty of Fish operates like a conventional dating site, even adopting the smartphone-like “yes-or-no” carousel approach. AdultFriendFinder feels more like an X-rated site with a social media system built in. 

Of course, rather than treating them as alternatives, you can choose to view them as complementary, with one offering a personality-first approach to dating more likely to deliver long-term connection and the other adopting a sexuality-first method that makes finding short-term, salacious fun easier than ever.

Intrigued to learn more? We put these two giants of the online dating world to the test to discover their respective strengths and weaknesses.

As both dating sites have been around forever, AdultFriendFinder and Plenty of Fish clearly deliver the goods for their users, but it’s striking to see just how different their respective approaches can be.

Site design

The contrast between the two sites is immediately evident from the aesthetic choices. Plenty of Fish uses softer, pastel colors and a clean, minimalist aesthetic to focus your attention on a single part of the website: your user profile, for example, or the profile of a prospective match. AdultFriendFinder, on the other hand, has a crowded site layout with ads, live streams, and user-generated content all sharing space and vying for your attention.

The AFF approach gives the impression that there’s a lot going on, like you just stumbled into a massive party, while the PoF approach is simultaneously less intimidating and less exciting. There’s another major difference that’s quickly apparent: AFF is an “adult” dating site, with nudity enabled by default in your profile settings, meaning a lot of what you will see on site is indistinguishable from an X-rated tube site, while Plenty of Fish curates their content much more heavily: no risqué live streams or genital-only photos in sight.

SEE ALSO: All your Hinge questions, answered

And speaking of that X-rated content: because AFF allows nudity on its site, it’s ineligible for inclusion on the most popular app stores, so you’re mostly confined to the on-site experience, while Plenty of Fish has an app in both the Google Play and Apple App stores, so you can swipe on the go as well. 

By the numbers

While both sites are tight-lipped about their user information, independent reporting from Business of Apps suggests that Plenty of Fish has approximately 10 million active users at any one time, compared to AdultFriendFinder’s two million active users, with both sites having a roughly 60-40 male-female skew in their gender ratio, though more recent reporting suggests AFF may be closer to 65-35 today. 

In either case, there’s no shortage of people for you to discover and talk to, though the farther you live from an urban hub, the more generous you’ll have to be in your search parameters. 

The typical dating profile

Another obvious difference between the two sites is their approach to profile creation. With AFF, you can set up a profile in seconds, with no verification steps and minimal required data entry. Plenty of Fish, on the other hand, asks you a bevy of personal questions, from your level of education and whether or not you own a car to if your parents are divorced or still together and if you want kids or not. PoF also requires that you verify the phone number tied to your account using a six-digit verification code, while AFF only requires email verification.

AFF has its share of personal questions as well, but they’re not so much related to your religion or smoking habit as they are to your kinks and sexual preferences. Their popular My Kinks tab allows users to fly their freak flags freely, and then re-incorporates that information into one of their search options, so if, for example, you have a foot fetish, you can search for other people who share your fetish or they can search you out based on that fetish. 

User experience

One thing you’ll quickly realize when using both sites is that PoF is a lot more generous in what they allow non-paying users to do. With AFF, you can basically only engage with other people in public spaces like the chat rooms and discussion forums. In fact, you can’t so much as view someone’s full profile without purchasing a Gold membership.

With PoF, by contrast, you can actually use the site, view user profiles, like user profiles, and even speak to other singles, all without spending a dime. That being said, a Premium or Prestige membership on Plenty of Fish still represents a massive quality-of-life upgrade, giving you unlimited likes, read receipts on messages, an ad-free site experience, and some pretty cool bonus features like the ability to see who has liked your profile or a Rewind button for when you accidentally skip over a profile that caught your eye. 

SEE ALSO: All your Tinder questions, answered

From a purely aesthetic perspective, the PoF site is much cleaner and less distracting, even in the way it serves you ads, while the AFF site makes up for its busy design by offering a much wider variety of potential activities, including live streams, chat forums, blogs and sexy stories.

Success rates

The major difference between the two sites boils down to the users and what they’re looking for online. In general, Plenty of Fish users seem to be more dedicated daters, aspiring to long-term relationships and meaningful connections, while AdultFriendFinder’s users are much more obviously content with short-term connections, whether that’s a sexy chat or live stream or an in-person meetup. 

In practice, that means that you’ll find AFF a much easier place to start a conversation or find a fling, while PoF users are clearly more selective in who they talk to, but that doesn’t necessarily mean that “success” is easier on one site than another. It also helps that AFF offers more venues for interaction: you can try to message a single person, sure, but you can also search out people who share your hobbies, interests or kinks and speak to them in a more public context like a forum or a live chat, which removes a lot of the stakes of one-on-one communication. 

On the other hand, if you’re after something more long-term and high-stakes, Plenty of Fish users appear to be much more aware of what they want and what they don’t want in a partner. They’re at a stage of life when they’re taking dating seriously and PoF caters to this crowd, putting critical life information (are you a smoker? do you have kids?) front and center. 

In other words, you’ll find the most success by being honest with yourself about what you’re looking for and choosing the appropriate dating site. Can you find love on AFF or a fling on PoF? Most definitely. But it will also be an uphill battle, given how the two sites are set up.

X has added the ability to sort your feed into multiple topic feeds, if you're still on the platform. And yes, it sounds exactly like TweetDeck (RIP).

Announced Wednesday, the Elon Musk-owned platform now lets users build "Custom Timelines," that collate up to 75 feeds on the home tab.

SEE ALSO: Elon Musk found liable for defrauding Twitter investors

In an X post, Nikita Bier, the company's head of product, revealed the Grok-powered feature, which is available in early access to those paying $8 per month ($84 per year) for X Premium, and only on iOS (Android promised "soon").

"It's powered by Grok's understanding of every post with the algorithm's personalization — meaning every timeline is made just for you," wrote Bier. "And it works even better when it's a topic you already engage with."

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

If you're a TweetDeck mourner, this might sting. The social media dashboard, which let users organise their feed across topics and accounts, was rebranded as XPro in 2023 and moved behind the X Premium (formerly Twitter Blue) subscription.

Giving X users the ability to organise their own timeline topics might also address the For You feed algorithm's lurch to the far right, though that remains to be seen.
