Mesh Wi-Fi systems are marketed as the ultimate solution for seamless wireless coverage. By letting multiple intelligent nodes work together, they promise to eliminate dead zones while maintaining incredible speeds across a home. However, in a small apartment, this added complexity can actually hurt performance rather than improve it. Allow me to explain.

Steven Spielberg is likely the most iconic American filmmaker living today. He's gifted audiences with the Indiana Jones movies, E.T., Close Encounters of the Third Kind, Jaws, and Jurassic Park. Now, with Disclosure Day, he may have made his most Spielberg movie yet — yes, even more Spielberg than his thinly veiled autobiography The Fabelmans. 

With Disclosure Day, I experienced the distinctive thrill of watching a master filmmaker do what he does best. The film, which focuses on a band of people's struggle to release secret information about extraterrestrial contact on Earth, is a dizzying mix of action, humor, adventure, sci-fi, and wonder. Naturally, I laughed, cried, and gasped. But more than that, Disclosure Day made me feel like I better understand the whole of Spielberg's work, and him as a person.

The answer might sound dry: a power struggle at a military-industrial corporation called Wardex risks exposing the truth about extraterrestrial life to the wide world, which is on the brink of nuclear war (again). However, in the hands of Spielberg and screenwriter David Koepp (Jurassic Park, Death Becomes Her, Presence) this is not a dry tale of corporate espionage and stiff whistleblowers. For one thing, it begins with us, their audience, getting stomped in the face. 

Disclosure Day unexpectedly opens in the middle of a vicious grudge match between two bulky pro-wrestlers. And the POV-shot that kicks things off is under the foot of one as he trounces on the face of another. From the start, Disclosure Day is about conflict.

However, as the view of this arena pulls back — exiting the thrashed fighter's perspective — we see our hero in the stands. A meek figure sitting among roaring fans, American mathematician Daniel Kellner (Challengers' Josh O'Connor) is silent and stressed.

Swiftly, Disclosure Day reveals he's on the run from Noah Scanlon (Colin Firth) the head of Wardex, because Daniel's backpack contains 78 years of documentation of UFO sightings, alien crash landings, and testing on live survivors. He and a small group of defectors led by a dashing Colman Domingo, wish to reveal this news to the world, believing that the truth is our right. But Scanlon and his army of gun-toting minions believe the world can't handle the truth. 

Into this struggle, others will be pulled in, by fate or chance. Daniel's Catholic girlfriend Jane (a wide-eyed Eve Hewson) is used as an emotional pawn by Scanlon, forcing the couple to go to unusual lengths to ensure their safety. Meanwhile, far off in Kansas City, Missouri, a weather presenter named Margaret Fairchild (a multi-faceted Emily Blunt) has begun speaking in other languages and psychically understanding those around her, all because a bird flew into her exposed-brick loft apartment. Her musician boyfriend Jackson (Thunderbolts*' Wyatt Russell) is understandably perplexed. Especially as she insists — in an urgent whisper — they must evade the men in suits who claim they're from the FBI. 

In a rollicking road trip full of action set pieces, sci-fi spookiness, and deeply humane bits of comedy, Margaret and Daniel will come together and fight for not just the future of humanity, but also humanity's understanding of the universe.

Disclosure Day is about the battle between fear and empathy.  Daniel (Josh O'Connor) and Margaret (Emily Blunt) are on the side of empathy. Credit: Niko Tavernise / Universal Pictures and Amblin Entertainment

Snarling and deeply British, Firth feels almost a vintage villain, dusted off from so many '80s action movies. Cheers to the actor best-known for romances like Pride and Prejudice, Bridget Jones's Diary, and Love Actually, he's pretty damn intimidating as a man who has little faith in mankind. In sneering speeches, Scanlon demands that Daniel understand that people are ruled by fear. Secrets are essential to maintaining societal peace. 

Other arguments are offered across Disclosure Day about why humans might not be ready to understand we're not the center of the universe or even God's creation. But Koepp's dialogue — always rooted in a place of earnest understanding — pushes back with compassion. Daniel, Margaret, and their band of rebels believe in empathy over fear. 

And through this lens, every character's motivations become clear. And frankly, a clear distinction across heroes and villains in Spielberg's filmography. Villains choose fear; heroes choose empathy. In Disclosure Day, Scanlon fears a world where he cannot be in control, in this case of the secrets of the universe. He argues that others will fear these aliens, who do not look like us or speak our language. But their first message to us? "Don't be afraid of what you don't know."

This becomes the plea of Disclosure Day. Not just as we consider what could (and likely does) exist beyond our planet, but in how we consider each other. Empathy is presented not just as a virtue but also as a crucial tool of evolution. If we can overcome our own fears and dare to empathize with those we don't see as like us, what might we achieve? 

The final act explores this in a way that bristled with my suspension of disbelief. Bear with me.

Disclosure Day functions like a companion piece to Close Encounters of the Third Kind. Like Spielberg's 1977 film, the story of alien life's existence focuses on how two average white Americans, one male and one female, comprehend it. But more importantly, the production design and creature design of that classic film carry over here, suggesting a narrative continuum without any characters in common. 

What sets Disclosure Day apart is that Spielberg embraces action here. While Daniel and Margaret aren't soldiers, they face off against plenty. That means car chase scenes, fleeing gunfire, stand-offs over alien tech, and one particular chase scene involving a train. The latter was so tense I held my breath, only letting it out to scream in excitement. 

All of this to say, Spielberg had me deeply hooked. I believed in this world, and in these people. In particular because Disclosure Day — in its runtime of two hours and 25 minutes — remembers to take time to establish its heroes through simple, almost mundane actions. In Jaws, it's the scene where Chief Brody plays a simple game of mimicry with his young son over the dinner table. We understand him not as some invincible action star, but a dad who has to do something outrageously risky to protect his family and his home.

In Disclosure Day, this scene is about smashing a cellphone for security. It's a trope in a bunch of espionage movies, typically executed with a casualness that befits a smooth secret agent. But when Margaret gets a call from a stranger who warns her to destroy her cell, she reacts to it with the expertise of a weather reporter. She tosses her phone out the window and directs her baffled boyfriend (Russell is hilarious in this role) to run it over. He tries and fails, leading to some couples bickering that is relatable, but also brilliantly funny because they are fumbling their escape in this awkwardness! 

Which brings me back to the film's final act. Like with Jaws, I wanted to be so hooked by Spielberg's storytelling that I never questioned if a shark even can be blown up that way. But the final act of Disclosure Day isn't asking me to excuse movie science silliness. It's asking me to trust that in a time of crisis, humanity will choose empathy over fear. And while I relished watching Margaret and Daniel's collaboration toward their hard-fought disclosure day, I realized to my own ache that my suspension of disbelief rattled because I don't trust that things would play out as they did. I wish I did. I wish life were like a Spielberg movie. 

On its surface, Disclosure Day is about aliens. But beneath that, it's about us — or more specifically, how Spielberg sees humanity itself. And while he has more faith in us than I do, I hope he's right. 

Disclosure Day opens in theaters June 12.

Google is going all in on AI for the search engine. The company recently announced that it's going to soon replace the "ten blue links" with AI Overviews and AI Mode. I was already on the fence, but this pivot finally pushed me to self-host a search engine. And I'm glad I made the switch.

Amazon Prime Day 2026 lands June 23 through 26, which means Walmart's competing sale is also on its way. Walmart announced its anti-Prime Day Deals Event will overlap Amazon's (shocker) and run a full week from 12:01 a.m. ET on Monday, June 22 through 11:59 p.m. ET on Sunday, June 28. You can peruse all the deals both in stores and online, whichever you prefer.

Nintendo just concluded a very beefy Nintendo Direct livestream. Without wasting any more time, let's dig into all the biggest announcements from the show, including the long-rumored The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake.

A new 2D turn-based Final Fantasy based on a previously existing mobile game is out on Oct. 22.

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time

And finally, the Ocarina of Time remake is real, and it's coming this year, though the trailer doesn't show off much.

Nintendo saved the best for last. The company closed out its latest Nintendo Direct with the first look at a full remake of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time — and it's coming in 2026, right in time for the holidays.

SEE ALSO: 4 things I really want from the rumored 'Zelda: Ocarina of Time' remake (and a couple I don't)

The reveal caps off months of speculation. Prominent voices in the gaming rumor community had been pointing to an Ocarina remake since April, and Nintendo delivered exactly what fans were hoping for.

If you somehow haven't played the original, Ocarina of Time is widely considered one of the greatest video games ever made. Released for the Nintendo 64 in 1998, it was the first Zelda game to make the leap to 3D and set a template for action-adventure games that still holds up nearly 28 years later.

With the Switch 2 now out in the world and bringing a bold new visual direction with it, this is without a doubt the perfect time to revisit one of gaming's greatest stories. And it'll keep you more than warm until the previously announced Zelda movie adaptation eventually arrives.

I love experimenting with different audio software, but I'm going to be totally honest here: I really do not like PlexAmp, especially when I'm using Android Auto. I've tried to get along with it. I really have. But there are, in my opinion, far better apps for Android Auto out there.

TL;DR: The Walmart Summer Deals event spans June 22 to 28 this year. The seven-day event will offer savings of up to 50% on home goods, toys, and tech. Walmart+ members are in for special savings and early access to deals.

Now that Amazon moved Prime Day to the end of June, every major retailer is following suit. Walmart just announced the annual Walmart Summer Deals event will run from June 22 to 28, beginning an entire day ahead of Amazon's sale.

While Prime Day doesn't kick off until June 23, Walmart's Summer Deals gives shoppers access to discounts of up to 50% off beginning at 12am ET on June 22. Walmart+ members get special access to early deals online, so it might be worth signing up before the deals drop.

A 30-day trial of Walmart+ costs just $1 or you can sign on for a yearly membership for $98.

Looking for Apple tech? Walmart might be your best option

Checking out the offerings from last year's Walmart Summer event, Apple sales were excellent, especially in the wearables and accessories categories. We saw AirPods sink to record low prices, as well as the USB-C Apple Pencil. Some of Walmart's Apple deals beat the sales offered from both Amazon and Best Buy.

We'll keep this page updated as we get more details about Walmart's Summer Deals event.

When Amazon introduced its Alexa smart speakers, it seemed like it was going to change the way we would control our smart homes. I bought several Echo devices for my home, but the reality never lived up to expectations. There are plenty of reasons why I stopped using Alexa.

If you've been manually copy-pasting prompts, jumping between Projects, or settling for inconsistent Claude output, you're doing it the hard way. Skills—Claude's modular, loadable prompt system—are specifically designed to solve this problem. That's evident in the skills catalog growing past 1.5 million entries.

If you own a laser cutter, you've probably run into the same problem: the machine itself is straightforward enough, but creating a good design file can feel like a separate, much more complicated project. Between juggling design software, manually prepping images, and preventing the snapping or burning of materials can bury anyone in technical busywork.

Home Assistant apps are software containers that are deployed by Home Assistant OS. This additional software runs alongside Home Assistant, rather than within it. They’re different to integrations (which only affect Home Assistant by adding new services and devices) and altogether more powerful.

Samsung makes excellent phones, and I've been buying and reviewing them for the last 14 years. A prime example is the fancy new Galaxy S26 Ultra, which is arguably the best Android you can buy. But after getting the Ultra and using it for a while, not only do I regret it, but I inevitably returned it and kept my older, smaller model.

Nintendo has some big announcements to make, and you can watch comfortably from your own home.

The video game giant has a Nintendo Direct livestream on Tuesday morning, its first since last September. Nintendo says this Direct will be 50 minutes long, with an additional 95 minutes of live game demos from its Treehouse team. We're expecting plenty of new Switch and Switch 2 game announcements. That's pretty beefy for one of these Nintendo livestreams.

You can watch the Nintendo Direct live on June 9 at 10 a.m. ET on Nintendo's YouTube channel.

We don't know exactly what to expect from this one. The rumored The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake could show up here, but aside from that and other known quantities like Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave and The Duskbloods, there's a real air of mystery around this particular Direct.

And that's what makes it exciting. You probably won't want to miss it.

All of Apple's devices will have a new layer of AI this year. Here's what it could mean for devices to come.

It's 2026. A lot of us have given a whole lot of thought to our network setups. We've gone over settings that might make the network feel slow, addressed dead zones, and probably invested in things like a VPN to make sure the connection stays private and secure.

Back in the 1990s, comedian Conan O'Brien set the bar for deepfaking celebrities the old-fashioned way: by putting his lips on their face.

The popular gag got lots of laughs, but little did O'Brien know the skit would set him up to cash checks in 2026 as a spokesperson for U.S. cybersecurity company Adaptive Security.

SEE ALSO: What's new to streaming this week? (June 5, 2026)

O'Brien made a series of 15 training videos on cybersecurity awareness for Adaptive Security's employees and clients, launched Tuesday, with previews available on the company's website.

"I creeped out an entire nation," says O'Brien in the series intro video. "Back then, making a deepfake took hours. But today, AI can clone a person's voice and face in seconds."

O'Brien covers the pitfalls of AI-powered attacks, including deepfakes, voice cloning, and AI impersonation. He also reviews the bread and butter of corporate security training: email and SMS phishing, QR code scams, passwords, and in-office and remote work risks.

Featured Video For You Moltbook's real risk isn't AI. It's your data

Adaptive Security wisely let O'Brien co-write the scripts and improvise on set, with the comedian using a fake mustache, dark lighting, and different camera angles to play "Joe," a nefarious scammer posing as an IT colleague.

Just hearing O'Brien say "Linux server" in a raspy voice is a reminder of how he's exactly the right man for the job.
