We should all be seeking as little drama as possible in our private lives. There's a lot of joy to be found in a peaceful existence. That being said, there's also a great deal of joy to be found in watching other people's messy lives play out. And that's exactly what Love Island provides.

The hit show delivers weeks of flirting, breakups, and passionate debate between fame-hungry singles. It's exactly what we all need to get through these bleak winter months. And the only thing better than Love Island is Love Island: All Stars.

Mashable - Fri, 02/06/2026 - 17:55

SAVE $1,500: Amazon and Best Buy have the 98-inch TCL QM6K Mini LED TV on sale for just $1,499.99 as of Feb. 6. That's 50% off its $2,999 MSRP, which is its biggest discount ever. Delivery times vary by retailer.

February is one of the best times to buy a new TV because retailers love tying promos to the Big Game. Big-screen QLEDs are especially easy to find on sale right now because they're primo for watching sports, according to Mashable's Leah Stodart. "The vibrant lighting supplied by a QLED panel is ideal for following small details like a ball or tiny score box," she writes.

If you're looking to upgrade your TV to a nice QLED model before the Seahawks take on the Patriots this Sunday, and you've got a large wall to fill, allow me to present the best "go big or go home" deal I could scrounge up. As of Feb. 6, the 98-inch TCL QM6K Mini LED QLED 4K TV is on sale for just $1,499.99 at Amazon and Best Buy — that's half off its usual retail price of $2,999.99 and a new all-time low. (Ignore Amazon's deflated list price of $2,299.99. The TCL website says it's a $3,000 value.)

According to data on camelcamelcamel, an Amazon price-tracking site, this exact TV has never been on sale for less than $1,599.99 prior to today.

Here's the 55-inch TCL QM6K up on my colleague's wall. The LED light strip illuminating its edges is not included. Credit: Leah Stodart / Mashable

Amazon was listing a delivery range of Feb. 12 to 16 for me at the time of writing, so if you need the 98-inch TCL QM6K sooner, go through Best Buy. It was offering free delivery as soon as Feb. 7 (tomorrow) the last time I checked — though if I needed someone to help me install it, I'd have to wait until Feb. 11 at the earliest. Enter your zip code on the Best Buy website to see what delivery times look like at your local stores.

Stodart is fresh off reviewing the 55-inch version of the QM6K, which she rated a 4.5/5 and deemed a Mashable Choice Award winner for its nice brightness, deep blacks, detailed shadows, and exceptional value.

"The TCL QM6K is an excellent budget mini LED TV for casual home theater purposes," Stodart said. "It's palpably brighter than a regular LED TV in broad daylight. In dark rooms, the deep black levels handle dark scenes way better than you'd expect for the price." Yes, it even makes Games of Thrones' "The Long Night" episode watchable.

Dr. Squatch’s Briccd Up soap is back (and on sale)

Mashable - Fri, 02/06/2026 - 17:30

Valentine’s Day is officially next weekend, which means we are in the final stretch of gifting panic. Right on cue, Dr. Squatch and Trojan have teamed up again to bring back their viral collaboration.

SEE ALSO: 30+ unique Valentine's Day gifts for men: Smart, cute, and practical ideas he'll be psyched about

Yes, the name is ridiculous — it’s called "Bricc'd Up," a pun I definitely don't need to explain to you. But people legitimately go crazy for this stuff; I’ve even seen bars from last year’s drop being resold on eBay. If you can look past the aggressive "Alpha" marketing, this is a solid buy (I keep Dr. Squatch in my own shower rotation).

I usually swear by the brand's heavy grit bars for exfoliation, but this specific limited-edition block is a "Zero Grit" formula designed for a much smoother lather using silk peptides and horny goat weed. It's also comically huge: The Magnum Bricc weighs nearly 14 ounces, which is roughly three times the size of a standard bar.

But the real reason we're talking about this is the deal. We love a freebie, and right now, you can score the massive Magnum Bricc (plus the free box of Trojan Magnum XL condoms) for just $15. Or, if you want to stock up, the 3-Pack Bundle of standard bars is down to $24. Honestly, for a gift that’s funny, genuinely useful, and saves you an awkward trip to the drugstore later, that's money well spent.

I’m done pretending open-source software is free

How-To Geek - Fri, 02/06/2026 - 17:30

I discovered Linux in high school and fell in love with the OS in college. I dreamed of getting a job writing about free software and making others aware of the amazing things they can do with their computer. But despite this dream coming true, I’m no longer the open source purist I once was. Now I prefer not really having to think of software at all.

Crypto prices on Friday: Bitcoin, Ethereum and more tick upward

Mashable - Fri, 02/06/2026 - 17:30

Bitcoin and the rest of the crypto market took a shellacking on Thursday, with prices dropping to their lowest levels since before the boom that occurred after Donald Trump's election. The hit that Bitcoin and the biggest altcoins took was the worst since the crypto crash of 2022.

As of Friday, however, Bitcoin has started to bounce back. As of the publication of this piece, Bitcoin is trading above $68,000.

Bitcoin dropped as low as $60,000 yesterday as institutional investors sold their holdings. But, Bitcoin was able to hold on to that $60k range, which was a key level according to some crypto analysts.

Ethereum, the second-most-popular cryptocurrency, plunged to $1,700 over the past 24 hours. It currently sits around $1,950 but has yet to make a recovery back into the $2,000 range.

Altcoins like Dogecoin and Solana also fell to lows that had not been experienced in years. Dogecoin fell to $0.08, which it last saw in September 2024. Solana dropped into the $70 range, a price point last seen in January 2024. 

The crypto market as a whole has been trending upward as of Friday morning; however, prices have yet to return to their pre-crash levels, and it's too soon to say if the latest trend will hold through the weekend.

3 overrated car features to avoid and 3 worth every penny

How-To Geek - Fri, 02/06/2026 - 17:15

Buying a car always reminds me how strange the whole process is. I’ve done it several times now, and every trip to the dealership still manages to surprise me. Not because of the cars themselves, but because of how much effort goes into nudging buyers toward features they didn’t walk in asking for. Some of it is subtle, some of it is straight-up upsell, and a lot of it hides behind words like premium, smart, or advanced. By the time you’re sitting at the salesperson’s desk signing paperwork, it’s easy to lose track of what you actually wanted versus what sounded good in the moment.

Googling Heated Rivalry triggers this cheeky exchange between Shane and Ilya

Mashable - Fri, 02/06/2026 - 17:14

Heated Rivalry fans have a new reason to keep refreshing their browsers.

Searching "Heated Rivalry" on Google now unlocks a delightful little Easter egg, one that lovingly calls fans out for being extremely normal about their favorite hockey rivals. The feature sparks a digital back-and-forth between Shane and Ilya, appearing under their text-message aliases, Jane and Lily. It offers just enough content to tide devotees over until the next season.

SEE ALSO: A new 'Heated Rivalry' book is on the way — preorder 'Unrivaled' by Rachel Reid now

Naturally, Ilya isn't letting Shane or the fans off easy. Underneath the search bar and above the results, you'll see this cheeky text exchange between the two scrolling from the right, reading:

Lily: "Still obsessed with us?"

Jane: "I'm not obsessed with anything!"

Lily: "How many times have you looked us up?"

And that's only part of their conversation. It's part love letter to the fandom, part online humiliation ritual.

Hockey fever is officially spilling off the ice and into the search bar, and Google is leaning into it.

Google reports that search interest in ice hockey is surging, especially during the 2026 Winter Olympics. Searches for "olympic hockey schedule" are trending alongside figure skating's perennial popularity, while curiosity around hockey rosters, goalie warm-ups, and even the basics of the sport has climbed to multi-year highs. Interest in "hockey players" is at a 10-year peak, and questions about representation — like "are there any gay hockey players" — are reaching all-time highs, signaling a fandom that's both deeply invested and increasingly hockey-curious.

And then there's my personal favorite stat: search interest in "boy aquarium" is also at an all-time high. The tongue-in-cheek term refers to ice hockey rinks themselves, where fans gather behind the glass to watch and admire the male players skating past like handsome fish in a tank.

If I can't go to the cottage, then I'll take one ticket to the boy aquarium, please.

How to get Peacock for free to watch the Seahawks take on the Patriots

Mashable - Fri, 02/06/2026 - 17:08

GET PEACOCK FOR FREE: You can score a free 30-day trial to Peacock Premium by signing up for a Walmart+ subscription. That gives you access to every moment of Sunday's Big Game — including the halftime show — on Feb. 8.

Opens in a new window Credit: Walmart Walmart+ subscription free 30-day trial (includes Peacock Premium), then $98/year Get Deal

Besides hefty price hikes, the most annoying trend in the streaming world is the removal of free trials. Fortunately, though, there are still ways to watch major events — like the Big Game on Sunday — without paying a cent. We've got you covered.

You can score a Peacock Premium subscription for free to watch the Seahawks take on the Patriots this weekend (and catch Bad Bunny's halftime show) by signing up for a Walmart+ subscription. Originally, a Walmart+ subscription gave you access to Paramount+, but as of Fall 2025, the retailer added Peacock to its perks as well. Now, members can select from either Peacock Premium or Paramount+ Essential every 90 days. The best part? When you sign up, you'll get a free 30-day trial. And yes, as noted on the Walmart+ sign-up page, trial members can access the streaming perks. TL;DR: you can easily watch the game on Sunday for free during your trial by selecting Peacock as your Video Streaming Benefit.

Credit: Walmart

A full Walmart+ membership will cost you $98 per year after a 30-day free trial, though you can cancel before you're charged. Since Peacock Premium typically costs $109.99 per year (or $10.99 per month), the $98 Walmart+ subscription is already a better deal. Plus, it comes with a ton of extra perks, like access to free shipping at Walmart.com with no order minimums, same-day delivery, fuel discounts, a Scan & Go checkout tool, and early access to deals during major shopping events. At the very least, if you choose to cancel before the month is up, you'll save $10.99.

Starbucks is giving out free coffee on Monday, Feb. 9 — heres how it works

Mashable - Fri, 02/06/2026 - 16:48

Need a pick-me-up after Sunday's Big Game? Head to your local Starbucks: The coffee chain is giving out free drinks to its Starbucks Rewards members this Monday, Feb. 9.

Members of the loyalty program can score a free tall (12-ounce) iced or brewed coffee with the purchase of any other beverage, so bring a friend — or your very tired, possibly hungover self. Note that any customizations you make to the free drink might cost extra, per a press release.

Opens in a new window Credit: Starbucks Starbucks Rewards Join for free Learn More

Starbucks will be debuting special-edition green paper cups and launching a new 1971 Roast coffee blend the same day, according to the release. The cups will be available at participating U.S. Starbucks stores through February while supplies last.

This is the second year in a row that Starbucks has poured free coffee after the Big Game, marking what it's calling "Starbucks Monday."

View this post on Instagram

Last month, Starbucks announced that it was updating its Starbucks Rewards program with a new tiered membership structure — which isn't going over well with customers, judging by some Reddit threads. The changes won't go into effect until Tuesday, March 10.

How to sign up for Starbucks Rewards

If you're not a Starbucks Rewards member yet, you can join for free online or in the Starbucks app. Every purchase earns you "Stars" that you can redeem for free drinks, snacks, merch, and drink customizations. (Registering a gift card or preloading money on the app will earn you double the Stars per dollar.) Additionally, you'll get a free drink or food item on your birthday.

Some fine print: You have to be signed up for Starbucks Rewards before Monday in order to be eligible for your free tall coffee. You'll also need the Starbucks app on your phone. A coupon for the free coffee will appear in the "Offers" tab.

If you don't see the coupon, the company recommends ordering in-store and letting your barista know that you're a Starbucks Rewards member.

A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms episode 4: The prophecy about Dunk and the dragon, explained

Mashable - Fri, 02/06/2026 - 16:31

Another Knight of the Seven Kingdoms episode, another prophecy.

Episode 4 sees Dunk (Peter Claffey) coming face-to-face once again with the mysterious drunk man who swore at him in the tavern back in episode 1 — a man that we now know is actually Daeron Targaryen (Henry Ashton), brother of Aegon/Egg (Dexter Sol Ansell).

So what does Daeron, who was wary of Dunk when he first saw him, say this time? And what could it mean?

SEE ALSO: 'A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms' Targaryen family tree: How everyone connects What's the prophecy about Dunk and the dragon?

Asking Dunk for a private word, Daeron stands outside the tent with our favorite hedge knight and tells of a dream he had about him. We've transcribed their exchange below, in full:

Daeron Targaryen: I dreamed of you.

Dunk: You said that. Back at the inn.

Daeron: Did I? Well my dreams are not like yours. Mine come true. An impressive talent for an unimpressive man. Another one of life's little ironies. But I have seen you, ser. And a fire. And a dead dragon. A great beast with wings so large they could cover this meadow. It had fallen on top of you. But you were alive, and the dragon was dead.

Dunk: Did I kill it?

Daeron: That I could not say.

Intriguing. But what exactly does it mean?

What does the prophecy mean?

As we mentioned when Dunk received his first prophecy in episode 3, some characters are capable of predicting the future in the Game of Thrones universe. Targaryens, in particular, have a proven track record (hello Helaena). All of this means we shouldn't take the words of Daeron — a self-proclaimed seer — lightly. How we decipher them, though, is another matter.

First of all, it's worth noting that there are no dragons left in Westeros at the time of Dunk and Egg. The beast in Daeron's dream is, therefore, most likely a metaphor for a Targaryen. The obvious interpretation would be the upcoming trial of seven. Dunk being trapped below a slain dragon could be taken to mean that he'll defeat Prince Aerion Targaryen (Finn Bennett) on the field, but maybe get injured in the process?

On the other hand, that may be too obvious. Perhaps Daeron's prophecy reaches further into Dunk's future? If last week's prophecy is to be believed, and Egg is indeed to sit on the Iron Throne one day, then maybe Dunk will be forced to slay other dragons/Targaryens in order to keep his tiny squire safe?

A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms is now streaming on HBO Max, with new episodes Sundays at 10 p.m. ET.

Everything we know about HBOs Baldurs Gate show

Mashable - Fri, 02/06/2026 - 16:25

A TV series based on Larian Studios' award-winning Baldur's Gate 3 is in development at HBO.

As reported by Deadline, The Last of Us co-creator and showrunner Craig Mazin will be helming the series, further cementing his role as HBO's go-to lead for acclaimed video game adaptations.

SEE ALSO: Everything we know about 'Severance' Season 3

"After putting nearly 1,000 hours into the incredible world of Baldur’s Gate 3, it is a dream come true to be able to continue the story that Larian and Wizards of the Coast created," Mazin said in a statement to press. "I am a devoted fan of D&D and the brilliant way that Swen Vincke and his gifted team adapted it. I can’t wait to help bring Baldur’s Gate and all of its incredible characters to life with as much respect and love as we can, and I’m deeply grateful to Gabe Marano and his team at Hasbro for entrusting me with this incredibly important property."

Credit: Larian Studios

Since the show has only just entered development, details on its plot and cast are currently sparse. However, here's everything we do know about the upcoming show, from its plot to a possible release date.

What will HBO's Baldur's Gate series be about?

Baldur's Gate 3 takes place in the Forgotten Realms, a Dungeons & Dragons setting. Like Dungeons & Dragons, players can build their own characters to set out on an adventure. But it's dice roll mechanics to move the game along. Between player's choices and virtual dice rolls, there's a wide variety of results for how the game's story will unfold. That makes creating a near one-to-one adaptation like Mazin's The Last of Us series seemingly impossible.

Instead of going down that route, HBO's series will take place immediately after Baldur's Gate 3, picking up with the game's characters, like Astarion, Karlach, Gale, and Shadowheart. However, with different endings possible in the game, HBO and Mazin have yet to announce which ending — or endings? — they'll be engaging with.

Featured Video For You 'The Last of Us' stars Bella Ramsey and Kaitlyn Dever break down Ellie and Abby's quests for revenge Who is in HBO's Baldur's Gate show?

No cast has been announced for the Baldur's Gate series yet. However, with The Last of Us, Mazin proved a fan of bringing the source game's actors into TV adaptations. Both Ashley Johnson and Troy Baker appeared in The Last of Us TV show, though in different roles than those they played in the game. Plus, Merle Dandridge and Jeffrey Wright reprised their roles as Marlene and Isaac in The Last of Us. So there's a chance that certain Baldur's Gate 3 actors, like Jennifer English, Neil Newbon, Rim Downie, and Matthew Mercer, may make an appearance, either as cameos or in the roles they originated.

When is HBO's Baldur's Gate show coming out?

HBO has not yet announced when the Baldur's Gate series would air.

However, if the show follows a similar path to The Last of Us, we could expect the series in about three years. Development on The Last of Us was officially announced in March of 2020, and Season 1 premiered in January of 2023. Of course, every show is different, so there's no guarantee that it will take Baldur's Gate the same amount of time. But hey, think of all the playthroughs you can knock out between now and the show's eventual release.

Apple recently debuted the new 2nd Gen AirTag, so you can get the upgraded version right now while saving a few bucks to boot.

As of Feb. 6, get the Apple AirTag (2nd Gen) - 4-Pack for $99 at Amazon, down from its usual price of $114.99. That's $15.99 off and a discount of 14%. It'a also the lowest price we've seen. Alternatively, pick up a 4-pack of last-gen AirTags for just $64 right now to save even more cash.

The AirTag needs you to only remove its label and put it near your iPhone to set it up in minutes. You'll need to name it and wait for it to sync, and you're finished. From there, drop it into a purse or bag, leave it in your car, put it on a keychain tag, and place it wherever you need to make sure you don't lose something.

It uses the Apple Find My app to help you locate items by playing a sound (a louder one with the newest model) or assigns directions so you can find it using your phone. The new version even has an expanded range so you have even more of a chance of coming across your item, with a battery that can last up to a year before you need to swap it out or buy another AirTag.

If you're prone to losing things or just want some peace of mind, this is a great deal to pick up while you can. Use up all your tags or hand them out to your family and see if you can stop some lost-item chaos early.
