I'm a firm believer that a good smart home should work mostly like magic; when you walk into a room, the lights should turn on, and they should only turn off again when you leave. Sometimes you still need manual control, but I could never make a dashboard that really worked. I finally cracked the problem and now my dashboard is actually useful.

Hot Ones Versus episodes tend to be more chaotic than regular Hot Ones, and Ali Wong going head-to-head with Nikki Glaser is of course no exception.

In the clip above the two comedians take part in what is essentially a game of truth or dare, where the punishment for refusing to answer a question is a spicy wing.

Highlights include a passionate Taylor Swift discussion (Glaser refused to roast her) and a final challenge in which the pair have to draw one another without laughing.

Mashable's Samantha Mangino says there's "no better emotional support water bottle than Owala's FreeSip" in her hands-on review, writing that it "lives up to its promise of both a sippable and chuggable water bottle."

GTA 6 is finally arriving next week, and the heavily in-demand limited-edition PS5 DualSense controllers have been making a surprising comeback with select restocks before Rockstar’s long-awaited sequel launches. 

Sony’s collaboration with Rockstar Games delivered two distinctive blue-and-purple, neon-infused designs inspired by the streets of Vice City, each available in black and white for $84.99. However, as preorders opened on Sept. 10, stock allocations sold out everywhere — especially the black version, which is sold exclusively via PlayStation Direct. 

With both GTA 6 DualSense controllers scheduled for release on Nov. 19, several major stores still have preorder listings for the white edition, with intermittent restocks expected over the next week.

Be sure to keep this page bookmarked as we’ve checked across go-to retailers, confirmed where you can buy DualSense right now, and provided the full list of links you’ll need to check for the best chance of grabbing GTA 6’s limited edition controllers going forward.

Where to check for GTA 6 DualSense controller stock

Before GTA 6's launch on Nov. 19, these are the main retailers in the U.S. to bookmark and check for preorders:

• PlayStation Direct (Black): Your only official U.S. retailer for the black controller. Sony has imposed a one-per-order limit, so don’t try to grab more than one if you’re lucky to get through.

• PlayStation Direct (White): Also listed through Sony's storefront, the white version isn't exclusive. With that, there are several alternatives if PlayStation Direct runs out.

• Amazon: A live listing for the white DualSense is available to buy now.

• Walmart: The GTA 6 limited-edition PS5 DualSense controller is in stock at the time of writing. Shipping’s estimated to arrive on the game’s Nov. 19 release day.

• Target: The white GTA 6 controller is in stock at the time of writing, though at the standard $84.99 price. The shipping date’s a little later than Walmart.

• GameStop: Currently available to preorder online at $84.99. However, the delivery date is estimated for Nov. 20-25.

• Best Buy: The white edition controller at $84.99 is out of stock online, but is currently marked as “Coming Soon."

Why are the GTA 6 DualSense controllers selling out so quickly?

GTA 6’s massive hype has undoubtedly led shoppers directly to the game’s dedicated PS5 DualSense controllers. It's the natural way of things.

As reported by IGN, 100 million PS5s have now been sold, including 2.1 million in the last quarter. It feels like a lot of recent sales have been driven by GTA 6. PC players need to wait, and the Xbox Series X|S’s install base pales in comparison to PlayStation, making the PS5 the default way to play GTA 6.

Not every one of the 100 million PS5 owners in the world will be playing GTA 6 or would even want the controller, but it does mean that the pool of potential buyers who’d want a dedicated GTA-themed DualSense controller is significant.

  Shop Now at Amazon What's special about the GTA 6 Limited-Edition DualSense controllers?

Both controllers draw inspiration from GTA 6's fictional Vice City setting, though each represents a different side of the game's Florida-inspired location.

The white DualSense adopts a brighter appearance influenced by Vice City's beaches, pastel colors, and a sunny daytime atmosphere. The black alternative draws on the city's neon-lit nightlife, with darker tones surrounding its colorful accents — representing the long nights in Vice City.

Alongside the prominent VI branding on the touchpad, each has textured palm tree detailing across the grips and a shimmering, color-shifting finish that changes appearance as the light catches it. Underneath those cosmetic changes, they're effectively standard PS5 DualSense wireless controllers. That means you're still getting haptic feedback, adaptive triggers, a built-in microphone, motion controls, and the familiar touchpad while you revel in Jason and Lucia's Leonida adventures.

Both controllers can also be used with compatible PCs, Macs, and mobile devices.

How can you improve your chances of finding stock?

If the GTA 6 DualSense is unavailable, there are a few ways to make the search less frustrating:

• Get your retailer accounts ready: Sign in to Amazon, Walmart, Target, Best Buy, and PlayStation Direct ahead of time, with your payment and delivery information saved. That way, you won't have to scramble through checkout if new stock appears.

• Remember PlayStation Direct’s exclusivity for the black controller: Since it's the only official U.S. retailer carrying this version, there's little benefit in searching elsewhere unless you're considering resale listings.

• Use stock alerts where available: Retailer notifications and independent trackers can help flag when inventory is returning without requiring you to manually check every product page throughout the day.

• Check local stores around launch: Best Buy, Target, and GameStop could be worth contacting starting Nov. 19. In-store inventory isn't guaranteed, but it offers another option if online orders become unavailable entirely.

• Avoid paying collector prices too early: Both controllers have an official $84.99 recommended retail price. Listings substantially above that are not worthwhile while there's still a chance of additional stock reaching major stores.

Will the GTA 6 DualSense controllers be restocked for Black Friday?

It's possible, although Sony hasn't confirmed a dedicated Black Friday restock.

With GTA 6 launching on Nov. 19 and Black Friday 2026 taking place on Nov. 27, there's a relatively short gap between the release date and the biggest shopping event of the year. With that, retailers could receive more inventory around launch or hold additional units for the holiday shopping period. However, neither possibility is guaranteed, especially for the black controller, which remains exclusive to PlayStation Direct in the U.S.

Even if there were more stock in time for Black Friday, it doesn't necessarily mean these special editions will be discounted. Given their limited availability and high demand, retailers have no reason to knock anything off the price just yet. At this stage, selling out at MSRP is already almost a guarantee.

For now, the safest approach is to keep checking the retailer pages above and secure your preferred design if it becomes available at a reasonable price. Waiting until Black Friday might pay off, but there's a slim chance that either controller will still be available to buy after Nov. 19.

The Moon is now a little further into its Waxing Crescent phase, with a small amount of its surface illuminated by the Sun. It should be slightly easier to spot tonight, although there's still not much to see in the way of lunar features.

What is today's Moon phase?

As of Wednesday, Nov. 11, the NASA's Daily Moon Guide tracker tells us the Moon is in the Waxing Crescent phase, with 4% of its surface visible.

When is the next Full Moon?

The next Full Moon will take place on November 24.

What are Moon phases?

The Moon takes approximately 29.5 days to complete one full cycle. As it orbits Earth, the amount of sunlight reflecting off its surface that we can see changes, creating the different phases. This takes us from the New Moon to the Full Moon and back again, before the cycle begins once more, according to NASA.

The eight phases are:

New Moon - The Moon is between Earth and the sun, so the side we see is dark (in other words, it's invisible to the eye).

Waxing Crescent - A small sliver of light appears on the right side (Northern Hemisphere).

First Quarter - Half of the Moon is lit on the right side. It looks like a half-Moon.

Waxing Gibbous - More than half is lit up, but it's not quite full yet.

Full Moon - The whole face of the Moon is illuminated and fully visible.

Waning Gibbous - The Moon starts losing light on the right side. (Northern Hemisphere)

Third Quarter (or Last Quarter) - Another half-Moon, but now the left side is lit.

Waning Crescent - A thin sliver of light remains on the left side before going dark again.

When I upgraded my Wi-Fi router, I stored the old one away in the box it originally came in. I could have easily thrown it away, but I didn’t — since technically nothing was wrong with it — so it stayed where it was, collecting dust.

If you’ve been following our stock trackers for the Zelda 40th Anniversary Switch 2 and the elusive gold-trimmed Pro Controller, you know what true retail chaos looks like.

The good news is picking up The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time on Switch 2 is nowhere near that hard.

While the hardware remains locked in a battle with scalpers, the actual game is readily floating around retail ecosystems. You won’t need to set 3 a.m. alarms or camp out in parking lots — you just need a clear map of which storefronts have carts ready for pickup, which ones offer quiet member markdowns, and when it makes total sense to skip the physical box and save ten bucks.

Here’s where you can buy it today.

Where to Buy 'The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time' on Switch 2

Before you start jumping between tabs, here is where physical cartridge stock stands across the primary retailers and the smartest way to check each:

• Nintendo Store — Direct physical orders are active, with first-run physical copies shipping with the collectible textured foil sleeve while supplies last.

• Amazon — Stock is live, but keep an eye on fulfillment windows. Amazon was hit with widespread shipping delays right around launch, pushing many delivery dates out by days or even weeks. If you decide to order here, check the estimated delivery date on the product page before checking out, and verify that the seller is Amazon directly.

• Target — Stocked across physical aisles and online. Local Drive Up and in-store pickup windows refresh early in the morning; paying with a Target Circle Card saves an extra 5%.

• Best Buy — Solid availability online and in stores. Set your filter to "Pick up at store" to grab same-day counter holds before local inventory sells through.

• Walmart — Rolling inventory in physical electronics cases and online. Just make sure online orders explicitly state "Sold and shipped by Walmart" to bypass third-party marketplace scalpers.

• GameStop — Available for standard orders. A solid option for physical walk-ins and trading in older Switch games, with extra savings for Pro members.

The case for going digital (and saving $10)

If you don't need a cartridge on your shelf, the digital version saves you $10 right out of the gate. Nintendo sets digital copies at $59.99 while physical boxed editions sit at $69.99. Skipping the plastic case also makes jumping between games seamless when playing in handheld mode.

Your entire adventure lives directly on the console’s internal storage, so you never have to carry, swap, or misplace tiny plastic cards when jumping between games. You bypass stock shortages, postal waitlists, and store runs, all while benefiting from faster asset streaming and quicker load times running directly off the Switch 2's high-speed flash storage.

How to get the digital version right now:

• Directly on your Switch 2: Open the Nintendo eShop, search for The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, and purchase it to start the background download immediately.

• Digital code via retailers (Amazon): If you prefer keeping your credit card off your Nintendo console, you can buy a digital game code directly on Amazon. The 16-character download code arrives in your email inbox within minutes and can be typed straight into the eShop’s "Redeem" tab.

Built exclusively for Nintendo Switch 2, this remake gives the N64 classic a full modern overhaul. You get high-definition visuals, an orchestrated symphonic soundtrack, voiced cutscenes, and modern quality-of-life upgrades like free camera movement and gyro-aiming for the bow and hookshot.

Nintendo also made clever use of the Switch 2 hardware. You can still play the ocarina with standard controller buttons, or you can hum, whistle, or play an instrument directly into the console’s built-in microphone to cast spells and warp.

The game connects to the free Nintendo Switch mobile app via Zelda Notes, adding an interactive collectible tracker, map guides, and trivia quizzes. Tapping existing Zelda amiibo drops helpful in-game supplies, while the new 40th-anniversary figures unlock retro-style cosmetic masks.

Is Ocarina of Time included in the Zelda 40th Anniversary Switch 2 bundle?

No. The limited-edition $519.99 console does not include a pack-in game or digital download code. If you scored the special-edition hardware, you'll still need to grab a physical cartridge or digital version on your own.

Can I play this remake on an original Nintendo Switch, Switch OLED, or Switch Lite?

No. This release is built exclusively for the Nintendo Switch 2 hardware architecture. It uses the new console's enhanced graphical pipeline, modern lighting engine, reworked audio processing, and faster storage speeds, so it will not boot on older first-generation Switch hardware.

Should you wait for Black Friday deals?

In short: no. First-party Nintendo launch games almost never see sticker-price drops during their first Black Friday. The best deals you're likely to find will be indirect perks — like bundled store gift cards or buy-two-get-one promotions on broader software catalogs. If you want to play now, don’t bother waiting — Black Friday won't save you much.

Unlike the consoles and controllers, this is one 40th Anniversary drop that has stayed in stock long enough to buy. Pick your preferred format, grab it at MSRP, and enjoy your return trip through time.

Netflix and Riot have teamed up to capture the attention of League of Legends fans, adding a host of music videos to the platform.

Ahead of Worlds (the League of Legends World Championship) taking over New York's Barclays Center this weekend, the streaming platform is adding a collection of videos from Riot's virtual artists, including K/DA, True Damage, and HEARTSTEEL.

SEE ALSO: Netflix's AI-powered search lets you search by your mood

A continued collaboration between Riot and Netflix, the League of Legends hub will go live Nov. 12 and will include music videos animated by Fortiche, the animation studio behind Netflix and Riot's critically lauded, Emmy-winning series Arcane.

You'll find six of K/DA's videos on there, including their Fortiche-made "FIRESTARTER" comeback single released in October, and True Damage's official 2026 Worlds anthem "Know My Name," produced with WIZZ, with animation direction by CRCR. Both will likely be performed at the Worlds opening ceremony on Saturday.

Of course, you can watch all these videos on YouTube, Netflix's longtime rival.

It seems Netflix is leaning into custom content hubs for specific titles and partnerships of late, with short-form videos the focus. The news comes days after Netflix added a KPop Demon Hunters hub to the platform, collating the film, a sing-a-long version, lyric videos for songs including "Golden," HUNTR/X choreography videos, featurettes, and more.

It's the last call for your "we got X before GTA 6" memes. Preorders for Grand Theft Auto 6 are live ahead of its Nov. 19 release. The highly anticipated game is available in two editions for PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series X/S: an $80 standard edition and a $100 Ultimate Edition. Both come with a slew of preorder bonuses if you purchase them before launch.

Physical copies of GTA 6 are available for preorder at Amazon, Best Buy, GameStop, Target, and Walmart. Digital copies are available through the PlayStation Store, Microsoft Store, and Rockstar Games Store.

What does the GTA 6 Ultimate Edition include?

The $100 GTA 6 Ultimate Edition features "an exclusive collection of premium vehicles, weapons, apparel, and action," according to a press release from developer Rockstar Games. It's previewing these extras on its website, which include:

• A ’95 Grotti Cheetah vehicle

• Hawk & Little Morgan Revolvers

• Personalized sidearm variants

• Exclusive outfits and tattoos

• Exclusive hairstyles, makeup, and nail art

• Jason's Safehouse vehicles

• A Vapid Ganado modkit

The GTA 6 Ultimate Edition is only available for preorder on digital through the PlayStation Store, Microsoft Store, and Rockstar Games Store.

  Preorder at PlayStation Store Preorder at Xbox Preorder at Rockstar Games What are the benefits of preordering GTA 6?

All players who buy GTA 6 before Nov. 20 will get a bonus Vintage Vice City Pack, which Rockstar describes as "a collection of items that flash back to when the neon burned brightest." There's a yellow ’55 Vapid Stanier vehicle with its own garage; special outfits and hairstyles for Jason and Lucia, the game's two protagonists; and a palm tree weapon pattern.

Those who preorder digital copies will also get a free month of GTA+, a membership service that unlocks GTA Online bonuses and a library of older Rockstar titles. It normally costs $7.99 per month.

Here's a look at the exclusive outfits included in "GTA 6's" preorder-exclusive Vintage Vice City Pack. Credit: Rockstar Games Is it better to buy GTA 6 on digital or physical?

You'll only get the free month of GTA+ if you preorder the digital version of GTA 6. Physical copies of the game just come with a download code in the case instead of an actual disc, so the biggest reason to buy that version instead is if you want to collect the box art.

When will GTA 6 preorders arrive?

Players who preorder a digital copy of GTA 6 will be able to preload the game on their consoles starting Nov. 12. All major retailers plan to ship physical copies, which will also arrive on Nov. 12 and can be preloaded ahead of launch day.

When is GTA 6 coming out?

GTA 6 is set for release on Thursday, Nov. 19. Don't forget to submit your PTO request.

Why was GTA 6 delayed?

The game was announced in December 2023 and was originally supposed to launch in late 2025, but Rockstar delayed it to May 2026 and then again to this fall. Both times, the company said more time was needed in order to deliver "the level of quality" and "polish" that players "expect and deserve." Hey, what's a couple more months after 13 years?

This boat is exclusive to the "GTA 6" Ultimate Edition. Credit: Rockstar Games Is GTA 6 a multiplayer game?

Rockstar told IGN that GTA 6 will be "a single-player experience," but it seems likely that the game will eventually get a multiplayer mode given the massive success of GTA Online. (That's the multiplayer side of 2013's GTA 5, the most recent installment of the Grand Theft Auto franchise.) It could come in the form of a free update or a separate purchase; Rockstar added GTA Online to GTA 5 two weeks after its release, then made it available as a $20 standalone title in 2022.

Twitch CEO Dan Clancy told Bloomberg in September that he expects Rockstar to add multiplayer to GTA 6 next year, but Rockstar itself has yet to confirm that.

When is GTA 6 coming to PC?

GTA 6 is reportedly launching on PC in early 2027, according to the gaming business site GamesBeat.

TL;DR: Both the digital and disc versions of the PlayStation 5 are in stock at Amazon, making now a perfect time to pick one up ahead of GTA 6 launch day.

Rockstar wrote in a statement that the game targets "30 frames per second" across both platforms, but PS5 users can enjoy "high-fidelity haptic feedback fully integrated across the game on DualSense controllers and adjustable via accessibility settings, improved spatial audio rendering so all in-game sounds take full advantage of Tempest 3D Audio, and improved load times". What better way to enjoy the wild world of Leonida, right?

It's been a few days now since Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang admitted to having an affair with an alleged Chinese spy, and Daily Show host Desi Lydic is here to unpack the entire debacle.

"All right, look, I don't want to be sexist, but this is why I always say men shouldn't be CEOs. I'm sorry but they get all hormonal and horny when it's that time of the month — usually the first through the 30th," says Lydic in the monologue above. The host then recaps the many photos of the pair together at social functions, adding, "You guys were really flaunting it. Even the Coldplay couple ducked from the camera."

Lastly, Lydic shows a clip of Donald Trump defending Huang, with the president saying the CEO is "definitely suffering."

"He had an affair, not a terminal illness," says Lydic. "Why is this the one thing you can muster up empathy for?"

Last week was pretty huge for Pokémon TCG collectors. The Day and Night Ultra-Premium Collections launched alongside the Delta Reign expansion, leaving shoppers scrambling for the best deals.

Nothing has really changed this week. We're all still desperately seeking deals for anywhere close to market price.

Amazon's stock for the Ultra-Premium Collections has been coming and going, and mostly at above-market prices. Right now, Walmart is the best place to pick up the Pokémon TCG 30th Celebration Ultra-Premium Collection Day (Espeon) and Pokémon TCG 30th Celebration Ultra-Premium Collection Night (Umbreon).

Both boxes are available at Walmart for close to the market price. TCGplayer's market price for the Day Box is currently $360.60, compared to Walmart's $394.95. The market price for the Night Box is $384.30, compared with Walmart's $409.99.

With Amazon struggling for stock, we expect these boxes to sell quickly.

The Ultra-Premium Collection comes with 29 30th Celebration booster packs, one Classic Collection booster pack, custom metal coins, deck boxes, card sleeves, and damage-counter dice. The Day collection includes the exclusive Espeon ex promo card with a Daytime Pikachu ex promo card and an Espeon playmat. The Night box features the exclusive Umbreon ex promo card with a Futuristic-rarity Pikachu ex promo card and an Umbreon playmat.

If you’re still rocking an iPhone 12 or 13, you’re missing out on some genuinely game-changing features. The iPhone 17 is the first base model built specifically to handle Apple’s most advanced AI features. Mashable's Stan Schroeder said it's an "excellent phone that matches the iPhone Pro models in many ways that matter."

Of course, the iPhone 18 Pro takes things to another level. The iPhone 18 Pro features a new A20 Pro chip to better support AI features and Siri AI. This latest model also has major camera upgrades, including a physical variable aperture, smart focus tracking, cinematic video effects, and improved low-light photography.
