The holiday season brings a festive dose of gift-giving, party hosting, and much-needed vacations. If you are traveling at the end of the year or around New Year's, I recommend getting on board with my obsession: real-time flight tracking.

If your Christmas present this year is watching Stranger Things Season 5, Volume 2 right when it drops, you're in luck. Netflix has dropped a trailer for the show's next three episodes, making for a pre-Christmas gift you can watch (and theorize over) for the next 10 days.

The trailer picks up in the aftermath of Vecna's (Jamie Campbell Bower) attack on the Hawkins MAC-Z. Despite Will (Noah Schnapp) going full sorcerer on a Demogorgon army and saving his friends' lives, our Hawkins heroes still failed to rescue the children Vecna planned to kidnap. Now, they're trapped in Vecna's lair, and their minds will be stuck in his mindscape alongside Max (Sadie Sink) and Holly (Nell Fisher).

Obviously, this failure is demoralizing for everyone involved. But will the Hawkins crew give up? Never! On top of Will's new powers, the squad also has Eleven's (Millie Bobby Brown) sister Kali (Linnea Berthelsen) on their side. Plus, based on the trailer, it looks like Max and Holly will be making a mad dash to escape the Camazotz-esque prison of Vecna's mind. With their escape on the horizon, things could be looking up. Right?

Well, trust the Duffer Brothers to throw more curveballs at us. Case in point: the massive ball of roiling red energy Steve (Joe Keery) and Dustin (Gaten Matarazzo) discover in the Upside Down. What new fresh hell is this? Notably, the trailer also teases a much-needed reconciliation between these two. Steve and Dustin have been at odds since the start of the season, with Eddie's (Joseph Quinn) death hanging heavy between them. However, that reconciliation also resurrects one of the best Steve and Dustin exchanges from the show: Season 3's, "I die, you die."

Look, I get where the two are coming from, as they're surely about to embark on some perilous mission. But hear me out: How about neither of you die? Sound good? Great, glad we're all on the same page.

Volume 1 of Stranger Things Season 5 is now streaming on Netflix. Volume 2 premieres Dec. 25, and the series finale premieres Dec. 31, both at 8 p.m. ET.

The newest streaming stick in the Fire TV lineup and also the most affordable 4K option, the 4K Select offers vibrant 4K quality with HDR10+ support and an ultra-responsive and fast new operating system called Vega. We haven't tested it yet ourselves, but we weren't thrilled with the old operating system, so we're totally on board with the upgrade. The plug-and-play design mirrors all other Fire TV Sticks and it will instantly put all of your favorite apps in one place — with Prime Video at the forefront, of course. It offers support for Xbox Game Pass, Amazon Luna, NordVPN, and IPVanish, and Alexa+ and Amazon Kids+ are also coming soon.

It doesn't offer Dolby Atmos or Vision and it can't turn your TV into an art TV like the 4K Max, but for everyday streaming, it's a pretty hard deal to beat for 10 bucks.

People buy Apple products for many reasons, but they stick around because of the ecosystem. Thing is, Android has an ecosystem that is just as complete and just as good. One could even say there is a vast galaxy of Android-powered Samsung devices that provide the same kind of integration we've come to expect from Apple products.

SAVE $600: The DJI Power 2000 is on sale at Amazon for $699, down from the list price of $1,299. That's a 46% discount that matches the lowest we've ever seen at Amazon.

We're in the thick of unstable weather these days. Our social media and news feeds are filled with weather warnings of atmospheric rivers, wind advisories, and cold snaps. That means power outages are plentiful. If you're not interested in dealing with the inconvenience that entails, a portable power station could be the best solution, and there's a major sale in store today.

As of Dec. 15, the DJI Power 2000 is on sale for $699 at Amazon, marked down from the usual price of $1,299. That works out to a savings of $600 from a 46% discount. It also matches the lowest we've ever seen at Amazon.

DJI is a favorite brand among content creators, making a phenomenal lineup of drones, cameras, and mics. But it's worth paying attention to the DJI power station lineup, too. In my testing of portable power stations, the DJI Power 2000 is the perfect model for creators.

Thanks to the dual SDC ports, drone owners can utilize DJI's fast charging. Other port options include two 140W USB-C, two 65W USB-C, four 24W USB-A, three AC, and even a 30amp.

In real-life situations, the DJI Power 2000's 2,048Wh can keep a WiFi router powered on for over 150 hours or a refrigerator for about 40 hours. Both of those will sure come in handy during the next power cut. Of course, you'll also be able to keep phones charged up.

Keep in mind, DJI is facing issues with getting products into the U.S., and it's nearly impossible to purchase directly from DJI right now. Instead, this Amazon deal is sold by a third-party seller. Mashable generally advises against buying from these sellers on Amazon, but DJI products have proven to be an exception since third-party is often the only way to snag a DJI product right now (and this one has positive ratings). Due to the nature of shipping portable power stations, the DJI Power 2000 is listed as non-returnable at Amazon, which is something to keep in mind before buying.

If this doesn't sound appealing, consider the DJI Power 1000, which is currently on sale for $349 or 50% off its normal price of $699. This sale price on Amazon is offered directly by DJI. You'll be halving the power offered from the DJI Power 2000, but it's also half the price.

In either case, DJI makes solid portable power stations. If you're looking for better protection during the next storm, the DJI Power 2000 is down to the record-low price of $699 today.

SAVE OVER $10: As of Dec. 15, the Lego Icons Dried Flower Centerpiece is on sale for $31.99 at Amazon. This is $18 off its list price of $49.99.

Lego is a great gift to give over the holidays. If you're shopping for an adult fan right now, there are quite a few deals worth checking out at places like Amazon. Among them is the Lego Icons Dried Flower Centerpiece (10314), which has dropped to $31.99 for a limited time.

This deal saves you $18 on the Lego Icons Dried Flower Centerpiece. Not to mention, it's also very close to its lowest-ever price of $27.99. What's even better is Amazon states on its sale page that it'll arrive before Christmas if you buy it now, so there's truly no better time to grab it if you're getting last-minute shopping done.

It's even a great build to work on with someone else, thanks to its split design, though keep in mind that it's angled towards adults.

It's not been long since the news broke that director Rob Reiner and his wife Michele were found dead at their home in LA, but the tributes from Hollywood have already started to pour in.

SEE ALSO: 'This Is Spinal Tap' re-release trailer cranks it up to 11

Reiner had a long career in Hollywood, starting as an actor before moving on to direct some of the best known films of all time. Stand By Me, When Harry Met Sally, The Princess Bride, Misery, This is Spinal Tap and A Few Good Men are among his many movies. His most recent was Spinal Tap II: The End Continues, which came out earlier this year.

In the hours since his death, actors and politicians have taken to social media to share their tributes and memories of a Hollywood legend.

Jamie Lee Curtis and Christopher Guest released the following statement, per Variety:

“Christopher and I are numb and sad and shocked about the violent, tragic deaths of our dear friends Rob and Michelle Singer Reiner and our ONLY focus and care right now is for their children and immediate families and we will offer all support possible to help them. There will be plenty of time later to discuss the creative lives we shared and the great political and social impact they both had on the entertainment industry, early childhood development, the fight for gay marriage and their global care for a world in crisis. We have lost great friends. Please give us time to grieve.”

Well, Carol, you did it.

Apple TV has announced that Pluribus is its most watched series ever, reportedly surpassing the company's wildly popular shows like Severance and Ted Lasso.

Breaking Bad creator Vince Gilligan's dystopian mystery series, which sees Earth's humans united as a hive mind excepting 12 people, is now Apple's streaming service's top show — an announcement you should take with a grain of salt considering Apple does not release viewership numbers on specific shows (Ben Stiller reportedly doesn't know how many people watched Severance.)

SEE ALSO: 'Pluribus' episode 6: What did Carol find in the warehouse?

However, Apple's announcement was deeply on-theme, posting on X a scene from Pluribus showing non-Joined human Carol Sturka (Rhea Seehorn) celebrating solo in her driveway with a sparkler and a six-pack. Go off, Carol.

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

Pluribus' penultimate episode will air on Friday, Dec. 19 before its Season 1 finale the week after, so let's raise a tiny carton of milk to the show that fills us with existential questions and drops horrific twists into our weekly viewing.

Pluribus is now streaming on Apple TV+ with new episodes Friday.

Tesla Robotaxis in Austin are finally doing what they were always supposed to do: drive themselves without a human at the wheel.

A Tesla Model Y was recently spotted driving on one of Austin's public roads with absolutely no one at the wheel, or at the passenger seat.

This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed. SEE ALSO: Tesla Optimus robot falls over, goes viral

While that may be a scary sight to some, it's basically the same thing Alphabet's Waymo's been doing in Austin for years now. The biggest difference, however, is that Tesla is using seemingly unmodified Model Y cars, the same ones you can buy as your own personal car, while Waymo is relying on heavily modified Jaguar I-Pace vehicles.

So far, Tesla's Robotaxi fleet in Austin has been operating with a human safety monitor in the driver's seat, but this is seemingly changing soon.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk confirmed that the company is testing fully driverless Robotaxis, writing on X, "Testing is underway with no occupants in the car."

In November, Musk said that he expects "Robotaxis to to operate without safety drivers in large parts of Austin this year." The year is almost at its end, but judging by this latest development, the company might just make the deadline.

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.

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 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.

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.

Today's NYT Strands hints are easy if you're a TV fanatic.

Strands, the New York Times' elevated word-search game, 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.
