It stands for Intense Pulsed Light and is a hair removal process that uses light pulses to target hair follicles, so it reduces hair growth over time. It's not a laser, but works similarly by focusing on the pigment in hair. It's a relatively painless, long-term solution for hair removal.
Laser hair removal uses a concentrated single wavelength of light, making it more precise and powerful. IPL, on the other hand, uses a broad spectrum of light, covering a larger area but with less intensity. IPL is slightly less effective than laser but is much gentler on the skin, and can be done from home, which is always a bonus.
This Braun device also benefits from skin tone sensors, a handy tool that optimizes the power of every flash to your skin tone.

If you haven't seen Oscars contender The Brutalist yet, you'll soon be able to watch all three-and-a-half hours of it at home from your couch — where you have the ability to pause and return to it as you see fit. Mashable's reviewer Siddhant Adlakha called it a "modern American masterpiece," and we named it one of the best films of 2024.
Set in the aftermath of World War II, director Brady Corbet crafts a deeply moving film about immigrants, architecture, and Jewish identity. It stars Adrien Brody — who already nabbed the Golden Globe for his role as László Tóth — as well as Felicity Jones, Guy Pearce, and Raffey Cassidy. It's one of the most nominated films at the Academy Awards, and we wouldn't be surprised if it took home a bundle of them.
You'll be able to watch it for yourself soon enough, as its digital on-demand release is set. Here's everything you need to know.
What is The Brutalist about?Clocking in at three-and-a-half hours long, The Brutalist tells the tale of László Tóth (Brody), a fictitious Jewish Hungarian architect and survivor of the Holocaust, over several decades as he arrives in America post-World War II. "It embodies the kind of American epics no longer really made by Hollywood studios. All the while, the film also explores the fraught corners of post-World War II Jewish identity in the West," Adlakha writes.
Check out the official trailer:
Is The Brutalist worth watching?The Brutalist clocked in at No. 17 on our list of the best films of 2024. It's also one of the most prominently featured films this awards season. It already nabbed the Golden Globe for Best Motion Picture – Drama, Best Actor in a Motion Picture – Drama for Brody, and Best Director for Corbet. Additionally, it's nominated for 10 Oscars, including Best Picture, Best Director, Lead Actor, Supporting Actor, and Supporting Actress. It's a favorite to take home the biggest awards of the night, despite igniting fresh conversation around the use of AI in film.
Currently, the A24 film has a 93 percent critic rating and an 80 percent audience rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Mashable's own reviewer writes, "The Brutalist is a towering paean to the American dream, in all its force and folly. Set over several decades, Brady Corbet's post-World War II immigrant saga is — like the architectural achievements of its protagonist — constructed with meticulous consideration, resulting in a work of multifaceted technique and piercing humanity."
Read our full review of The Brutalist.
How to watch The Brutalist at home Credit: A24The Brutalist is set to make its digital debut just shy of two months after its theatrical release.

It's already available to preorder at video-on-demand platforms like Prime Video and Apple TV if you want to get on top of it.

Prime Video — preorder for $19.99

Opens in a new window Credit: Prime Video Pre-order 'The Brutalist' at Prime Video $19.99 at Prime VideoThere's no official streaming date yet for The Brutalist. However, thanks to a multi-year output deal between A24 and Warner Bros. Discovery, we know that it will eventually make its streaming debut on Max alongside other recent A24 theatrical hits like Civil War and MaXXXine. The usual window between a digital and streaming release for A24 is about around two-and-a-half months. So, it is likely The Brutalist will join the others on Max at the end of April.
If you want to be prepared for when the film does eventually land on the streamer — or want to catch up on other A24 films — we recommend signing up for a Max subscription. Subscriptions start at $9.99 per month, but there are a few ways to save money on your plan. We've rounded up the best Max streaming deals for you below.

Apple's iOS and iPadOS have been updated to new versions, and you should update your iPhone and iPad as soon as possible.
The new versions – iOS 18.3.1 and iPadOS 18.3.1, respectively – have a security fix for a flaw that's actively exploited in the wild.
The good news is that this isn't one of those attacks that can be done remotely. Instead, the hacker would have to obtain physical access to your device. From Apple's release notes for iOS 18.3.1: "A physical attack may disable USB Restricted Mode on a locked device." This means that someone with access to your iPhone or iPad could bypass Apple's security and grab all your data.
Apple didn't share a lot of details about how the flaw is being exploited, but the company's wording is interesting. "Apple is aware of a report that this issue may have been exploited in an extremely sophisticated attack against specific targeted individuals," the release notes say.
SEE ALSO: Apple's new iPhone SE is coming very soon, report claimsThe new iOS version is available for iPhone XS and later, iPad Pro 13-inch, iPad Pro 12.9-inch 3rd generation and later, iPad Pro 11-inch 1st generation and later, iPad Air 3rd generation and later, iPad 7th generation and later, and iPad mini 5th generation and later.

New York has banned DeepSeek's AI app from government devices, citing security concerns about the Chinese-owned company. It's the TikTok ban discourse all over again.
Governor Kathy Hochul announced the statewide DeepSeek ban on Monday, stating that "New York will continue fighting to combat cyber threats, ensure the privacy and safety of our data, and safeguard against state-sponsored censorship."
SEE ALSO: Bill threatens to make using DeepSeek a crime for AmericansThough DeepSeek has been around for a while, the company made a huge splash in January when it released a chatbot app based on its DeepSeek R-1 model. DeepSeek's new AI assistant swiftly shot to the top of Apple's App Store, impressing users with its superiority over rival OpenAI's ChatGPT when it comes to technical tasks. It's also free, unlike ChatGPT.
Unsurprisingly, DeepSeek's meteoric success alarmed the U.S. tech industry, particularly as it claimed its AI chatbot was developed at a fraction of the cost of OpenAI's models. Nvidia's stock plummeted in response, with investors realising that future development of AI technology may not require as many GPUs as U.S. companies have been using.
Questions also quickly arose regarding DeepSeek's security, and what the company might do with users' inputted data. U.S. officials have expressed concerns about whether the Chinese government might censor content or use the app to surveil users. Some users have reported censorship on DeepSeek, particularly regarding criticism of the Chinese government.
"Serious concerns have been raised concerning DeepSeek AI’s connection to foreign government surveillance and censorship, including how DeepSeek can be used to harvest user data and steal technology secrets," read Hochul's announcement.
New York isn't the only U.S. state which has prohibited government employees from downloading DeepSeek. In late January, Texas Governor Greg Abbott banned Chinese social media and AI apps on government devices, including DeepSeek, RedNote, and Lemon8. Reps. Josh Gottheimer and Darin LaHood also introduced the unambiguous bipartisan bill "No DeepSeek on Government Devices Act" to the U.S. House of Representatives on Thursday, which would impact all federal employees.
Though DeepSeek is only prohibited on U.S. government devices for now, and only in a few states, such bans may be a precursor to wider restrictions. Last Monday, Missouri Senator Josh Hawley introduced a bill that would "prohibit the import from or export to China of artificial intelligence technology," regardless of whether the user is a government employee or not. While the proposed "Decoupling America’s Artificial Intelligence Capabilities from China Act" doesn't specifically single out DeepSeek by name, it's clear that the AI company is of significant concern to the U.S. government.
The U.S. government's concern about DeepSeek mirrors its attention toward TikTok, the video sharing app having also been accused of surveilling users and spreading propaganda at the behest of the Chinese government. Though TikTok was prohibited on all U.S. government devices in early 2023, by Jan. 2025 the app was legally banned across the entire country. President Donald Trump temporarily delayed the ban so he can "negotiate a resolution" to officials' national security concerns, however TikTok could very well exit the U.S. entirely if one is not agreed to by April.
Google has officially updated Maps to label the Gulf of Mexico as the "Gulf of America," following U.S. President Donald Trump's executive order renaming the sea. Fortunately, the tech giant is also retaining the gulf's internationally recognised name which it has held since at least 1552 — at least, for non-American users.
Late last month, Google confirmed that it would update Maps to reflect Trump's directive, renaming the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America, as well as Denali to Mount McKinley. The tech giant stated that it was only holding off on the changes because of its "longstanding practice of applying name changes when they have been updated in official government sources."
The relevant government source in this case is the U.S. Geographic Names Information System (GNIS), which hadn't yet been updated with the gulf's new American name. Trump's executive order gave a 30-day deadline for name changes to be made, including removing all references to the Gulf of Mexico from the GNIS.
SEE ALSO: Google Maps will rename Gulf of Mexico to America following Trump's orderNow the GNIS has executed at least one of Trump's name changes, labelling the Gulf of Mexico as the "Gulf of America." As such, Google Maps has followed suit.
People within the U.S. who search Google for "Gulf of Mexico" will now be presented with bold text reading "Gulf of America" instead. Searching Google Maps for the phrase will do the same, changing the search term to "Gulf of America" and directing them to the body of water now completely relabelled "Gulf of America."
U.S. Google Search results for "Gulf of Mexico," showing text reading "Gulf of America." Credit: Mashable screenshot / GoogleIn contrast, inputting "Gulf of Mexico" into Google from Australia results in text reading "Gulf of Mexico (Gulf of America)." Similarly, Google Maps retains the name Gulf of Mexico, but adds Gulf of America in parenthesis to both the search term and the map's labelling. Searching "Gulf of America" does bring up the relevant sea as the first result (labelled as such with no mention of Mexico), however the map is not centered on it, and several American businesses are suggested as well.

Credit: Mashable screenshot / Google Australian Google Maps results for "Gulf of America," including the relevant gulf as well as several American businesses featuring the word "gulf." Credit: Mashable screenshot / GoogleLast Sunday, Trump proclaimed Feb. 9 the "first ever Gulf of America Day" to commemorate his renaming of the gulf. The president further called upon "public officials and all the people of the United States to observe this day with appropriate programs, ceremonies, and activities." It isn't clear exactly what activities Trump might think are appropriate for this occasion, but it probably won't be a public holiday.
Interestingly, Denali has still retained its name on Google Maps for now, rather than its new Trump-mandated label of Mount McKinley. The GNIS hasn't changed the mountain's name yet, so it appears that Google is still waiting for it to be official.
