The Pixel 8 Pro is a powerhouse of a phone, with a 6.7-inch 120Hz display powered by the Google Tensor G2 processor under the hood, as well as 12GB of RAM. It has a 50MP camera and a 5,050mAh battery, so you can use it for lengthy periods of time without having to stop and recharge.

Mashable's Alex Perry found it to be a great performer and praised its "good battery life" as well as its options in terms of AI features, particularly for anyone who loves to take photos (and has fun editing them, too). It doesn't feature a wide variety of upgrades from the previous Google Pixel 7 Pro phone model, but that doesn't mean it isn't worth putting the cash down on.

If you're ready to give a new phone a try, you should capitalize on this discount soon, before like the last time it appeared for this price, it went away in the blink of an eye.

Scientists poring over a sample brought back from the asteroid Bennu have detected amino acids and complex mineral compounds, some of which have never been found in space rocks.

A team at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of Natural History discovered a salty residue left over from an ancient brine. Through evaporation, it formed minerals rich in sodium, carbon, sulfur, phosphorus, chlorine, and fluorine. Finding these ingredients shows that the conditions to make them existed earlier and more widely in the solar system than previously thought.

Another study led by NASA scientists identified several different types of amino acids — tiny building blocks that make up proteins essential for life — in the asteroid material. Those findings included 14 of the 20 amino acids that Earth life uses to build proteins. These same amino acids have also been found in meteorites.

The new research helps build the case that space rocks brought chemicals necessary for life to emerge on this planet through collisions in ancient cosmic history. The pair of papers were published separately in Nature and Nature Astronomy on Wednesday. 

"If water-rich asteroids were commonly producing these elements, and we know that asteroids bombarded the surfaces of planets and moons early in their history," Tim McCoy, one of the Smithsonian paper's lead authors, told Mashable, "these primitive asteroids almost certainly delivered both water and prebiotic organics to Earth, Mars, and other planets and moons in our solar system."

NASA's $800 million OSIRIS-Rex mission, short for Origins, Spectral Interpretation, Resource Identification, and Security Regolith Explorer, launched in 2016. The robotic spacecraft completed its 4-billion-mile trip when it dropped the capsule from 63,000 miles above Earth onto a patch of Utah desert seven years later. It's the first U.S. mission to grab a sample of an asteroid. 

These are the most precious space souvenirs NASA has obtained since the Apollo moon rocks, gathered between 1969 and 1972. The mission succeeded in bringing home about a half-cup of crushed Bennu rocks and dirt. So far researchers haven't been disappointed with their bounty. 

All forms of Earth life have specific chemicals in their makeup, such as amino acids and sugars. Scientists have known that asteroids hold molecules believed to be the precursors to these chemicals. By studying the Bennu samples, they hope to gain more insight into how these ingredients could have evolved. 

An important reason NASA selected Bennu for the sample return mission is because of its relatively close proximity, making the endeavor achievable. It also has a very remote chance of hitting Earth in the coming centuries. Learning about the asteroid could be helpful in future efforts to redirect it.

But the team also chose Bennu to investigate the chemical origins of life. Some of its mineral fragments could be older than the 4.6 billion-year-old solar system. These grains of stardust could have come from dying stars or supernovas that eventually led to the formation of the sun and planets.

The museum team was especially surprised to find traces of water-bearing sodium carbonate compounds, commonly known as soda ash, in the Bennu sample. These chemicals have never been found in asteroids or meteorites before. They naturally crust in dried lake beds, such as Searles Lake in the Mojave Desert.

But a key difference between the brine and soda lakes is an abundance of phosphorus in the former, and scientists have been keen to follow the phosphates for more clues on the genesis of life. These compounds are crucial, forming the backbone of DNA, yet they're relatively rare compared to the other five main elements — hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, and sulfur — in biology. 

Scientists propose that similar brines probably still exist in other distant worlds, including Saturn’s icy moon Enceladus, where spacecraft have detected sodium carbonate.

"From a biological perspective, phosphate is one of the essential building blocks – along with sugar – of the single and double helix that make up RNA and DNA," McCoy said. "Without a phosphate-rich system, these complex molecules that make up living things simply could have never formed."

In the NASA-led study, scientists detected multiple protein-building amino acids and five nucleobases that make up RNA and DNA. 

The researchers think Bennu may have come from a larger icy source, perhaps like the dwarf planet Ceres. This is because Bennu contains chemicals like ammonium and carbonate salts, as well as organic carbon, suggesting liquid water once ran through it, even in the asteroid's extremely cold conditions.

The paper posits that minerals found in the rocks formed in stages as water carried dissolved substances: first calcium and magnesium carbonates, phosphates, then sodium carbonates, followed by salts like table salt and sulfates. High amounts of ammonium salts in Bennu may have kept the water flowing, even at temperatures as low as -143 degrees Fahrenheit. This means important chemical reactions for life could have continued long after the asteroid’s heat faded. 

Previously, Dante Lauretta, OSIRIS-Rex's principal investigator, said his dream discovery from the Bennu rocks would be evidence of peptides, signaling protein evolution.

"While the detection of amino acids in the Bennu samples is an important discovery," he told Mashable, "we have not yet detected peptides — amino acids linking together — within the samples." 

But scientists say this is only the beginning, with the Bennu rocks likely yielding decades of more discoveries.

The first trailer for director Dito Montiel's Riff Raff promises heaps of dark gangster comedy — and a highly uncomfortable family reunion.

SEE ALSO: 2025 movie preview: All the films you'll want to know about

Riff Raff, which premiered at the 2024 Toronto International Film Festival, centers on ex-criminal Vincent (Ed Harris, Love Lies Bleeding), who's established a new, loving life with his wife Sandy (Gabrielle Union, The Perfect Find) and son DJ (Miles J. Harvey). But their peaceful winter break takes a turn when Vincent's ex-wife Ruth (Jennifer Coolidge, The White Lotus), his disowned son Rocco (Lewis Pullman, Salem's Lot), and Rocco's girlfriend Marina (Emanuela Postacchini) crash the party. They've got some bad news for Vincent: Gangsters Leftie (Bill Murray, Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire) and Lonnie (Pete Davidson, Bupkis) are on their way to take out the family.

Watch the full trailer above to see Murray and Davidson's bickering odd-couple gangsters in action, along with Coolidge's Ruth's misguided attempts to seduce Vincent in the face of danger.

Riff Raff hits theaters March 7.

Until MacBooks get better for gaming, at least we have the Asus ROG Zephyrus G14. The 2024 model was one of the best gaming laptops we tested last year, largely in part because it looks a lot like an Apple computer (while packing enough power for Triple-A games): thin, light, and sleek in aluminum. "[It] has a MacBook Pro-esque design, allowing it into blend into office spaces for work," wrote former Tech Editor Kim Gedeon, "but it transforms into a gaming beast by night."

As of Jan. 29, one configuration of the ROG Zephyrus G14 is on sale at its best price to date. The Platinum White model with an AMD Ryzen 8945HS processor, Nvidia GeForce RTX 4060 graphics, 16GB of memory, and 1TB of storage is marked down to just $1,099.99 at Best Buy — a 31% discount on its $1,599.99 sticker price, and a $100 one-up of its Cyber Monday deal from December.

SEE ALSO: The best gaming laptops in 2025 for every budget

Design aesthetics aside, Gedeon was also impressed by the ROG Zephyrus G14's ample port selection, detailed 3K OLED display, springy RGB keyboard, great speakers, and solid mid-range performance. Overall, she rated it at 4.3/5, knocking it down a few tenths of a point for its slightly dim screen and tendency to get hot underneath. (That's your main trade-off for such a slim machine.) Its battery life also kind of sucks — it lasted an hour and 17 minutes in our testing — but that's hardly abnormal for a gaming laptop.

For those who want slightly better graphics and more memory, an RTX 4070 model with 32GB of RAM was on sale for $1,649.99 at Best Buy, or 18% off. (We haven't tested that one.)

A quick FYI that a newer ROG Zephyrus G14 with a next-gen AMD CPU, GeForce RTX 50-series graphics, and a new cooling setup is set to launch sometime later this year, having debuted at CES 2025. It'll probably be a really nice machine, but it also probably won't cost anywhere near $1,100: At the time of writing, two configurations were "coming soon" to Best Buy for $2,199.99 and $2,999.99.

The only downfall of this vacuum is that it’s corded, so you'll need to be close to an outlet to use it.

Starlink connectivity is coming to Apple's iPhone.

On Wednesday, Bloomberg reported that Apple has been secretly working with SpaceX and T-Mobile US to add support for Starlink in Apple's iOS 18.3.

T-Mobile partnered with SpaceX last year and launched a beta program for Starlink connectivity last December. However, the company originally only offered the option on Samsung phones. Now, this has been expanded to the iPhone as well.

The service is still only available as a (very limited) beta. T-Mobile users with iPhones who have signed up for the beta started seeing text messages from T-Mobile telling them to update to iOS 18.3 to get Starlink connectivity.

SEE ALSO: Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra vs Apple iPhone 16 Pro Max: Which one should you buy?

Apple iPhone users have already had a chance to try out satellite connectivity via Apple's Emergency SOS feature. That feature, however, was quite limited as it could only send some emergency data out, and it required users to point the phone at the sky.

Starlink connectivity is different, as it won't require users to point the phone upwards; instead, it should work like other mobile networks, even when the device is in the user's pocket. The initial version, however, will only allow texting.

Tweet may have been deleted

SpaceX CEO Elon Musk commented on the news, saying that "medium resolution images, music & audio podcasts should work with the current generation Starlink direct-to-phone constellation." He also announced that the next generation Starlink constellation will do "medium resolution" video.

The feature should be available on "most current iPhone models," Bloomberg's report said. It's also coming to Apple's Ultra smartwatch later in 2025.

WhatsApp has a feature for those moments when you want to share something, but don't want it to stick around. Called "View Once," the feature lets you send a photo or a video to someone; after they've seen it, the content is gone forever.

That, at least, is how the feature should work, but a recently discovered bug — fixed in the last version of iOS — allowed users to see "View Once" content as many times as they wanted.

SEE ALSO: Are Instagram, Facebook, WhatsApp all down? Meta companies experience serious issues.

First publicly described in a blog post last week by cybersecurity researcher Ramshath, the bug was extremely easy to exploit as it required no technical knowledge to do so. If someone had sent you a "View Once" image or video, all you had to do to access it again was go to Settings > Storage and Data > Manage Storage. If you then found the sender's chat and sorted the storage by "Newest," the "View Once" content was still accessible.

The bug only affected iPhone users, which is still a huge demographic, making this issue a pretty big privacy mishap by WhatsApp and its parent company, Meta.

Ramshath claims he reported the issue to Meta through the company's bug bounty program, to which Meta replied that it was already aware of the issue and working on a fix.

Indeed, the fix arrived fairly quickly, with WhatsApp version 25.2.3 on iOS. Users are advised to update to the latest version — especially if they want their "View Once" content to keep working as it should.

This is not the first time WhatsApp has had issues with the "View Once" feature. In September 2024, security researchers found that the disappeared content was still available by entering the exact URL of the media file, as it was still insecurely stored on WhatsApp's servers. This issue (which was followed by another, similar problem with the "View Once feature) was since fixed by WhatsApp.
