The Fire TV Stick 4K Max is rife with features, improving on its predecessor in several ways. First, as its name implies, it offers 4K Ultra HD streaming with Dolby Vision, Dolby Atmos, and HDR10+ compatibility. It also supports WiFi 6E for smoother, faster streaming and includes a new Ambient mode that lets you use your TV to display artwork and photos when not in use. The unit comes with 16GB of storage to keep all your photos and artwork handy.

You can also use this Fire TV Stick to play your favorite Xbox games without a console. Just connect with the Xbox app and play games via your Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscription.

You'll definitely have plenty to entertain yourself with.

We love our TVs, we need our TVs. But for the aesthetically-minded among us, incorporating a TV into our home décor can be...a challenge. Samsung answered this dilemma with The Frame TV. The brand's line seamlessly turns TVs into works of art when turned off, plus, this spring, Samsung launched a Frame speaker that looks just another picture frame on your gallery wall.

Until this year, Samsung didn't have much competition since it launched The Frame in 2017. Back in 2022, Amazon embraced aesthetic multitasking with its line of Omni Fire TVs. Now, TV leaders Hisense and TCL are entering the field with new lifestyle TVs.

Launched in July 2024, the Hisense CanvasTV offers an immersive Art Mode. Right on par with The Frame, Art Mode on the CanvasTV shows a collection of pre-loaded artwork as well as personalized photographs when not in use. So rather than the boring black screen you're used to, the CanvasTV shows beautiful images of your choosing.

While the immersive Art Mode is the big draw of The Frame-style TVs, they're also really good at their main function. The CanvasTV is 4K QLED and features Hisense's Hi-Matte tech for anti-glare viewing. Plus, it's loaded with surround sound — no extra sound system needed. It's a Google TV as well, providing access to your favorite streaming apps.

It's available in both 55- and 65-inch models. The CanvasTV comes with a teak frame, with additional frames available for purchase. The best part of the Hisense CanvasTV is that it is significantly cheaper than Samsung's The Frame. The 65-inch Hisense CanvasTV costs just $1,299.99, while Samsung's same-sized model is $1,999.99.

And just this week, TCL announced its NXTFRAME TV. Like The Frame and the CanvasTV, it's all about merging décor with the functionality of a TV. The NXTFRAME TV boasts an exceptionally thin design (apparently the thinnest TV ever), just 1.1-inch deep (1.2-inches on the 85-inch model). It mounts flush to the wall to blend into your gallery and comes with a curated Art Library. It also features a personal photo gallery mode and has AI Art capabilities, an interesting choice considering how controversial AI art has been.

TCL has also entered a licensing partnership with Bang & Olufsen, giving NXTFRAME TV Pro models audio by Bang & Olufsen. Like the other art TVs available, it's 4K QLED with a matte anti-glare screen. It comes in four sizes: 55-, 65-, 75-, and 85-inches. Like Samsung and Hisense's TVs, it comes with a swappable wooden frame.

The 55-inch and 65-inch NXTFRAME TVs are supposed to be available now but still listed as coming soon on TCL's website. The 75- and 85-inch models are coming in September. Models start at $1,499.99 for the 55-inch model, the exact same price as Samsung's 55-inch The Frame. However, TCL's NXTFRAME TVs are cheaper than Samsung's as the models increase in size, saving you several hundred dollars.

The Umbrella Academy is over, friends. And in the very last moments of Season 4, we got to briefly reunite with some of the series' characters beyond the core Hargreeves.

In the final scene of the series forever, we find ourselves in a utopian park, listening to the sounds of Tommy James and the Shondells' original 1967 version of "I Think We're Alone Now" — a perfect final song for The Umbrella Academy. We see a family blowing bubbles, a group of blonde men playing frisbee, and two people playing backgammon while being sketched. It's all very lovely and meant to show the results of the Hargreeves' final act.

SEE ALSO: 'The Umbrella Academy' Season 4 ending, explained

"We wanted to make the final moment really special and say that in this final timeline, things have all come back to normal. All the other timelines don’t exist and it’s just a normal life," series creator Steve Blackman told Netflix's Tudum blog. "So we brought back in as many of the returning cast as we could."

But who was that guy? And why do I remember that face? We're here to help identify every familiar face in the final scene, and there's some spoilers in here so beware.

The family on the lawn

Blowing bubbles and having tea parties on the lawn, Lila (Ritu Arya) and Diego's (David Castañeda) family have made it, including Lila's parents (Geet Arora and Shiva Safari), Uncle Inny (Sylvan Valladares), Aunt Banu (Gurbir Bal), Cousin Ronnie (Devanshu Narang), and their daughter Grace (Ciara Rose Feeney). They're joined by Allison's daughter Claire (Millie Davis). They were all put on a time-travelling subway train by Lila to ensure their safety before the Hargreeves made their final sacrifice — so, it worked.

The three guys playing frisbee

Remember the Swedes? The assassins from Season 2? They're not dead, nor will they be as they don't foolishly try to kill the Hargreeves siblings in the future! Triplets Otto (Jason Bryden), Axel (Kris Holden-Ried), and Oscar (Tom Sinclair) were assigned to kill the Umbrella Academy members by the Handler of the Temps Commission, and they all died instead.

The two people walking their bikes

That's Griddy's Doughnuts owner Agnes Rofa (Sheila McCarthy) and time-travelling assassin Hazel (Cameron Britton) who fell in love in Season 1.

The lady pushing the pram

No longer a Kugelblitz worshipping android, the Hargreeves' robot mother Grace (Jordan Claire Robbins) pushes a pram holding a baby presumably without powers.

The jogger

Stopping to stretch, that jogger is The Handler (Kate Walsh), Lila's adoptive mother and a big cheese at the Temps Commission in Season 2. She's the main villain in that season, so it's nice to see her more centred.

The sketcher

That's none other that The Umbrella Academy's comic book co-creator, illustrator by Gabriel Bá. "I hope people scream a little if they catch me there because it was fun for me," Bá told Tudum.

The backgammon players

Being sketched by Bá is Herb (Ken Hall) and Dot (Patrice Goodman) from the Temps Commission. Hall also did the motion capture for chimpanzee caretaker Pogo in earlier seasons.

Can you see more characters in the scene? Blackman told Tudum that Five's beloved mannequin, Dolores, from Season 1 is somewhere in there, but I can't see her. Maybe you'll have more luck.

The Umbrella Academy Season 4 is now streaming on Netflix.

SAVE $2,300: For August 8 only, the 2022 85-inch Samsung The Frame QLED TV is on sale for $1,499.99 as the Best Buy Drop of the day. That's more than 50% in savings and can only be accessed through the Best Buy mobile app.

High profile items are the name of the game with Best Buy Drops, and there's no higher profile TV than Samsung's The Frame. The gigantic 85-inch version of The Frame is the Best Buy Drop of the day for August 8, where you can snag it for $1,499.99 — a jaw-dropping $2,300 price cut that's way more intense than what we expected.

The fine print is that you'll only get access to that price if you click on it through the Drops tab in the Best Buy mobile app, which is the only version of Best Buy where Drops exists. Once you find the TV in Drops, be sure to peek at the status bar showing how many items are left — Drops items are released in limited quantities, so when they're gone, they're gone.

SEE ALSO: The best time to buy a TV: A guide to the times of year that you'll find the best TV deals

To be clear, the model featured as the Drop is the 2022 version of The Frame. Several sizes of the 2024 version are also on sale at Best Buy, but obviously, aren't nearly as heavily discounted. For reference, you could almost buy three 2022 85-inch Frames at this price before hitting the $4,299.99 price tag of the 2024 85-inch Frame.

Of the good TV deals popping up in early August, The Frame is definitely one of our favorites. If you clicked on this story, you probably already know why The Frame has such name recognition. If not, let's quickly unpack the overarching question asked by Google users when "the frame" is searched: What does Samsung's The Frame actually do?

When it's on and being watched, The Frame is just a solid QLED TV: It has stellar peak brightness and punchy quantum dot-fueled colors that make it great for watching sports in bright rooms. (This Drop happens to be right before football season gets into full swing. Coincidence? Doubt it.) The matte screen does quite well with reflection handling as well, though the whole "matte" thing comes way more into play when the TV's not being watched.

SEE ALSO: The 20 best action movies on Netflix right now

When it's off and just chilling on your wall, The Frame uses ambient light sensors to dim itself and sort of melt into the wall. The non-shiny screen can display the fine art of your choice, photos of loved ones you've uploaded, or photos you've uploaded of the wall around the TV to mimic the design and fully blend in. The concept is seriously cool for folks who aren't psyched on the idea of this giant hunk of technology cramping the style of their carefully-curated accent wall.

The Umbrella Academy has finished forever, and to end it all, the Netflix series blasts a musical throwback to the very first episode.

In the final moments of Season 4, we find ourselves in a utopian park filled with characters we've met across the series (some are missing for spoilery reasons). But as we're careening through this verdant picnic ground, the sounds of Tommy James and the Shondells' original 1967 version of "I Think We're Alone Now" will be an instant delight for longtime fans.

SEE ALSO: 'The Umbrella Academy' finale: A guide to everyone in that last scene

It's a perfect nod to the 1987 synthpop cover by Tiffany that won hearts in Season 1. If you'll cast your memory back to 2019, when we first met the Hargreeves in the series, there's a moment in the first episode when the siblings need a timeout.

Luther (Tom Hopper), the leader of the bunch, decides to play the song in his room loud enough for the rest of the Hargreeves manor to hear, and Diego (David Castañeda), Allison (Emmy Raver-Lampman), Klaus (Robert Sheehan), and Viktor (Elliot Page) all can't resist the temptation to dance. The scene cuts between the siblings, eventually panning out to reveal the whole house throwing down a move, unbeknownst to each other.

It's the dance scene that would ensure an Umbrella Academy dance scene every season, including Season 4. Viktor, Klaus, and Alison muck around to Sam Cooke's "Twistin' The Night Away" in Season 2, and the season-opening "Footloose" dance-off from Season 3 is a series highlight.

The Season 1 "I Think We're Alone Now" moment proved such a hit with fans the cast recreated the scene during lockdown — including Number Five (Aidan Gallagher) and Ben (Justin H. Min), who weren't in the original. The video was used to promote Season 2's date announcement, and it's brilliant:

So, to finish the entire series with the song that started it all? 11/10. Yes, there's a different song for Season 4's end credits (Talking Heads' "This Must Be The Place"), but this is the real finisher. Crank it up.

The Umbrella Academy Season 4 is now streaming on Netflix.

Compared with the calls for cat ladies, white dudes and others, the group of venture capitalists was small at around 600.

The very promise of real life lovers Nick Offerman and Megan Mullally starring as a dastardly dream team of conspiracy theorists and cult leaders in The Umbrella Academy's fourth and final season is exquisite enough.

And then they hit you with a choreographed dance to Cher.

In one of the very best scenes of Season 4, in episode 3, the Fargo-like villains and kidnappers throw down some folk-rock boot-scootin' stylings to the icon's 1971 classic "Gypsies, Tramps and Thieves," wearing matching aviator spectacles, western shirts, bolo ties, and their hair in braids. Honestly, I can't tell you whether Offerman and Mullally had this routine ready to go, show or not, but it absolutely slaps.

The Umbrella Academy has long championed the dance scene, whether the Hargreeves are blissing out privately to Tiffany's cover of "I Think We're Alone Now" in Season 1, Viktor, Klaus, and Alison "Twistin' The Night Away" in Season 2, or the season-opening "Footloose" dance-off from Season 3, brilliant work from stage choreographer John Heginbotham.

But in the final season, the Hargreeves are benched from the dancefloor for the series' villains, Gene and Jean Thibedeau.

Gene and Jean, you beautiful, problematic weirdos. Credit: Netflix

In a sequence that involves a daring rescue, the show needs a legitimate reason why Gene and Jean aren't surveilling their kidnapping victim for three minutes or so. And because we've spent the last few episodes watching this dynamic duo team up for everything from Euchre tournaments to casual carpark murder, it's not out of character to have them practicing a little somethin' somethin' for their own amusement: a dance routine.

During the rescue sequence, the camera alternates between henchmen getting brutally owned and Gene and Jean absolutely tearing up their home's floorboards with sweet moves. Their chosen tune, Cher's "Gypsies, Tramps and Thieves," could only be an old favourite of this conspiracy theory loving pair, who perhaps listen less to the lyrics about teen pregnancy and sex work, and concentrate more on that sick beat.

It's not the first time Offerman and Mullally have appeared on screen together by any means: Offerman appeared in Mullally's realm Will and Grace back in the day; Mullally played the only weakness of Offerman's Ron Swanson, his ex-wife Tammy, in Parks and Recreation; they've voiced animated characters in Bob's Burgers, Axe Cop, Hotel Transylvania 2, and the English dub of Ernest and Celestine together; and co-starred in You, Me and the Apocalypse, Speaking of Sex, Smashed, and The Kings of Summer. So we can add this glorious dance scene, and their run on The Umbrella Academy, to the pile.

Luckily for us, The Umbrella Academy saves its last dance for Mullally and Offerman, and it's one of the highlights of the season. Get it, Gene and Jean.

If you've spent your summer getaways hauling around both a laptop and a stack of books — cut that out. There's better tech out there that takes up a fraction of the space in your carry-on. If you've been jealously side-eyeing your fellow travelers with tablets, it's time to join the crowd. And for readers especially, we have just the thing.

Apple's iPad Mini is the smallest in the brand's line of tablets. At 8.3-inches, it has a nice hand feel, which is why we think it's the best iPad for reading. Whether you use Apple Books, the Kindle app, or Libby, the iPad Mini holds all your vacation reads. While it does have a smaller screen than other iPads, we found that it's still satisfactory for streaming on-the-go. It comes with the A15 Bionic chip, which isn't as advanced as Apple's latest M-series of chips, however, it's still speedy and won't get stuck buffering between apps.

This small but mighty iPad is an even better value than usual. It's knocked down to its lowest price ever of $379.99. That provides a nice $119.01 off the price to give you 24% savings.

A24 has released its trailer for Lana Wilson's new documentary "Look Into My Eyes", which follows psychics at work in New York.

The number of tweaks Apple has added to the next big update appears to be countless, so we’ve narrowed it down to the most useful features.

Want to fully get rid of ads on X? Now, there's a way (sort of), but it will cost you.

The company's official account just announced that its Premium+ subscription tier is now "fully ad-free."

Premium+ costs $20 per month or $210 per year, and it comes with a number of perks, including the ability to write rich-text articles on X, as well as the largest reply boost, which means you get the largest possible boost for your replies. It also includes everything you get in the cheaper, Basic and Premium tiers, including stuff like checkmark and early access to X's AI assistant Grok.

Tweet may have been deleted

When the company introduced the Premium+ tier in October 2023, it (maddeningly) did not come with the ability to fully get rid of ads, which were only gone from the For You and Following timelines. Now, ads should be completely gone, though it once again comes with a small caveat: According to X, users will still see "occasional branded content in less common areas."

Read the small print. Credit: X

Occasional branded content aside, this is now the tier to get if you love X, hate ads, and are willing to pay the price for Premium+.

SEE ALSO: Disney+ and Hulu have just gotten pricier. Yes, even with ads.

For those users who don't like ads but don't hate them all that much, there's still the regular, $10 per month Premium subscription tier, which will reduce the amount of ads you see in the For You and Following timelines by half.

Elon Musk once famously tweeted that he hates advertising, so it's nice to see that those who share his disdain for ads can have an (almost) ad-free experience on Twitter. But Musk's relationship with advertising is a complicated one. Earlier this week, X sued advertisers claiming that they conspired to withhold billions of dollars in advertising revenue after Musk took over X (then Twitter) in 2022.

It's hard to say goodbye to the Hargreeves, but with the fourth and last season of The Umbrella Academy, they've taken a final bow.

In a short and bonkers six-episode season, Netflix's truly undefinable, superpowered adaptation of Gerard Way and Gabriel Bá's comic book series has ended. But not ones to live a regular ol' human life, Luther (Tom Hopper), Diego (David Castañeda), Allison (Emmy Raver-Lampman), Klaus (Robert Sheehan), Number Five (Aidan Gallagher), Ben (Justin H. Min), Viktor (Elliot Page), and honorary Hargreeves Lila (Ritu Arya) spend this season trying to save the world — yep, again.

The series takes a look at some of the show's biggest unsolved mysteries — though it leaves most behind — with the most prominent being what exactly happened to Ben all those years ago. And what exactly are the plans of Gene and Jean Thibedeau (Nick Offerman and Megan Mullally), Umbrellaphiles and leaders of extremist conspiracy theorist organization The Keepers? And where do we leave the Hargreeves?

We're about to dive into the ending of the finale of The Umbrella Academy, so brace yourself for extreme spoilers.

What doesn't happen in the finale?

At the end of episode 5, Jean and Gene (actually Abigail (Liisa Repo-Martell), alien Reginald's alien wife, revealed to have been wearing Sy Grossman (David Cross) like a suit, now wearing Gene, keep up), put out the call to begin The Keepers' major plan. This is to ensure the apocalyptic event known as "The Cleanse" happens. In the finale, that call comes in the form of a broadcast of Muse's "Map of the Problematique", which snaps the organisation's followers into armed mob-like ranks. The Keepers converge on the dilapidated department store where kindred apocalyptic spirits and lovers Ben and Jennifer (Victoria Sawal) are holed up having been taken over by The Cleanse, actually an oozing virus that threatens to envelop them and subsequently the world.

Remember, we learn this season that Ben and Jennifer were actually murdered by Reginald in the original timeline, shot when Ben rescued Jennifer from her cage as teens — Reginald says he was trying to stop their combustible connection which would destroy the world (brutal but kind of accurate?). But he meddled with their memories so they'd never know.

We also learn that Abigail thwarted all Reginald's plans to keep Ben and Jennifer apart, in order to enable The Cleanse and destroy everything Reginald created.

Meanwhile, in one of the biggest curveballs of the season, Lila and Five, who fell in love during their seven years lost in a time-travelling subway system, have returned to the real timeline to face the music — and it all comes out at Christmas at Diego and Lila's place (honestly, Luther, Alison, and Klaus on the couch in this scene are all of us).

Back to the big storyline, Viktor tries to save Ben and Jennifer by using his power to extract their marigold (more on that below), but before he can finish, Ben is shot by Reginald's sniper. So, the Umbrella Academy must fight the Ben/Jen monster together, but they eventually retreat to the Hargreeves manor.

What's the deal with the scene with Five in Max's Delicatessen?

During the battle with The Ben/Jen Cleanse, Lila makes it clear to Five "it's over." So, he returns to the subway solo, to live out his days presumably either travelling mindlessly or to return to the strawberry-filled greenhouse he and Lila spent their happiest days in. But glimpsing another Five on the platform, he finds his way to a subterranean diner called Max's Delicatessen, filled with alternate versions of Five from different timelines, all of whom have ended up in the delicatessen trying to solve the problem like Five is right now.

In a conversation over pastrami sandwiches and coffee with himself, Five realises that there's only supposed to be one timeline after all, and that the only thing that shattered the original timeline was...the Umbrella Academy itself.

Yup, the Hargreeves siblings, who have both caused the end of the world and saved it multiple times over four seasons, broke the original timeline by being born. Five finds out from himself that their births — remember, when 43 women around the world simultaneously gave birth on Oct. 1, 1989 — started an infinite loop of them trying to save the world while being the cause of its destruction.

"The family is the problem. We're doomed to save or destroy the world over and over again, ad infinitum," Five realises gazing around at all the deli's photos of apocalypses past.

"The family is the problem. We're doomed to save or destroy the world over and over again, ad infinitum."

Five takes this knowledge to his siblings, who have converged on the original Hargreeves manor, and he goes multiverse-explainer on them all.

"We are the reason that this is happening," says Five. "The marigold that infected our mothers, bringing forth our births, had an unexpected side effect. It shattered the timeline, and it broke it in to an infinite number of alternate timelines. The timelines are bleeding into each other."

Five explains that's how The Keepers were able to find the artefacts (Umbrella Academy merchandise, news clippings, paraphernalia from the first three seasons) which led them to realise there were multiple timelines and start their cult — again, they were...right?

"So we need to go back to the original timeline before any of the other ones were created," Five explains. How? The Umbrella Academy needs to let the marigold in their bodies merge with the durango in The Jen/Ben Cleanse monster.

Wait, what the hell is the marigold and the durango?

That glowing substance Ben spiked everyone's drink at the teppanyaki restaurant with in episodes 1 and 2? The stuff that gave them back their talents? That's marigold, a particle that gives the Hargreeves their powers in the first place. All the women who gave birth to the Hargreeves siblings were infected with it, then passed it to their instant babies. Durango is another particle, one that lives inside Jennifer, and the physical reaction between Ben's marigold and Jen's durango created the monster that is "The Cleanse."

SO, to undo The Cleanse, save the world and stop the extinction of humanity, the Hargreeves make a decision — they need to cancel out the monster by letting their marigold merge with the durango inside it. "They should cancel each other out," is the idea. But it will erase them too.

Why do the Umbrella Academy know their sacrifice will save their loved ones?

In the finale, the Hargreeves have more than each other to worry about — namely Diego and Lila and their family, and Alison and her daughter Grace. They're not sure whether their loved ones will be safe in the timeline with their monster-merging sacrifice, but Viktor remembers he had a vision when trying to save Ben, showing a park where their families (without the Hargreeves siblings) were living happily. So, they make it?

In a heartbreaking scene, Lila puts her family and Grace on a train back to the original timeline and stays behind, ensuring that the Umbrella Academy's sacrifice won't erase the existence of their children.

By sacrificing themselves to The Cleanse, the Hargreeves cease to exist at all. In fact, they never did — everything we just watched, done. Gone. "We'll be erased from history," Five explains, saying that no one in any other timeline will have a memory of them at all.

Gathering in a circle as the oozing Cleanse seeps into the Hargreeves manor, and powering up their marigold, ready for engulfment, the family say some pretty hilariously crap final words to each other. Alison genuinely saying "I'm sorry you left Canada for this," to Viktor gets an 11/10 from me.

"Fuck you" are literally the last words anyone says to each other. And it's perfect.

Then, in the final scene, we're in the park that Viktor saw, with basically every character from the show's four seasons having a lovely time, as Tommy James and the Shondells' original version of "I Think We're Alone Now," the iconic song from The Umbrella Academy Season 1. Even the Swedish assassins from Season 2 are here! And of course, thanks to Lila's train delivery, all the Hargreeves' loved ones are here too.

So yes, the Hargreeves are dead, but thanks to their sacrifice, they were never actually born in this, now the original and only timeline.

Essentially, the Umbrella Academy never existed. OK, I'm going to go stare at a wall now.
