The Champions League group stage was a delight. We know not everyone loves the new format, but we get more top games between the best teams, and that's not a bad thing. The group stage is over, but we're not yet at the knockout rounds for real. First, we've got a bunch of two-legged playoffs to enjoy.

Club Brugge take on Atletico Madrid in one of the most interesting matchups from this round. Atletico Madrid are fresh from beating Barcelona 4-0 in the Copa del Rey semi final, but they'll need to be at their best to overcome a talented Club Brugge side. These teams were only separated by three points in the group stage, so we're expecting a tough battle at the Jan Breydel Stadium.

How to watch Qarabag vs. Newcastle online for free

Tue, 02/17/2026 - 09:30

TL;DR: Live stream Qarabag vs. Newcastle in the Champions League for free on Virgin Media Player. Access this free streaming platform from anywhere in the world with ExpressVPN.

The Champions League group stage is particularly challenging since it moved to its current format. You could argue that it's easier to qualify for the knockout rounds, but you end up playing a lot of top teams and placing in the top eight is tough. Just ask Newcastle United.

Eddie Howe's team won four out of eight group-stage games, but that was only enough to secure a place in the playoff round. They face a trip to Azerbaijan to play Qarabag, a team that finished four points behind Newcastle in the group stage. Newcastle will be expected to progress to the next round, but anything can happen at this late stage. They'll need to be at their best to secure a first-leg result to bring back to St. James' Park.

Individual booster packs for trading card games like Magic: The Gathering can cost less when part of a bundled lot. As Feb. 17, a six-pack lot of Final Fantasy Play Boosters is down to $48.69 on Amazon, marking the lowest price we’ve seen for this bundle — as confirmed with price tracker camelcamelcamel.

A collaboration with the Final Fantasy franchise, this expansion pulls together characters, summons, and locations from all sixteen mainline games, letting players build decks around key moments from the iconic RPGs. Play Boosters are designed with Limited formats in mind, but they’re just as appealing if you’re cracking packs for collection value or hunting flashy pulls.

Like other MTG packs, each booster includes 14 cards, with a typical spread of 1-4 rares or higher, 3-6 uncommons, and 6-9 commons. Every pack also guarantees at least one Traditional Foil card, while foil borderless mythic rares show up in roughly 1% of boosters — a nice incentive for collectors chasing something special.

The Final Fantasy expansion is one of those Magic: The Gathering sets where prices on boosters have stayed fairly high due to larger demand vs. supply, with individual booster packs costing $11.02 each on Amazon at the time of writing. This lot would have saved you nearly $10 before Amazon’s latest price cut. With the added 15% discount, you’re now saving $17.43 compared to buying individually.

For more savings on MTG, you can still preorder the Magic: The Gathering Marvel Super Heroes Play Booster Box on Amazon at $20 off. What’s more, you can also get at least $10 off the Magic: The Gathering Aetherdrift Bundle on Amazon.

Now is a great time to save on the Lego Star Wars Home One Starcruiser at Amazon. It's not the only Lego set on sale at Amazon right now. Have a look at our breakdown of Amazon's Presidents' Day sale to see some other sets that are still discounted.

Moon phase today: What the Moon will look like on February 17

Tue, 02/17/2026 - 08:36

Tonight, the Moon has vanished completely, meaning we've reached the New Moon phase of the lunar cycle. With no features visible, the sky is completely dark tonight, but it also happens to be an annular solar eclipse, which occurs when the Moon passes between the Sun and Earth at its farthest point, too small to fully cover the Sun. The full eclipse will only be visible from Antartica, where parts of South Africa will be able to see a partial eclipse.

What is today’s Moon phase?

As of Tuesday, Feb. 17, the Moon phase is New Moon. According to NASA's Daily Moon Guide, 0% of the Moon will be lit up tonight.

When is the next Full Moon?

The next Full Moon will be on March 3. The last Full Moon was on Feb. 1.

What are Moon phases?

According to NASA, the Moon takes around 29.5 days to complete one orbit around the Earth. Throughout that time, it goes through eight different phases of visibility. Even though we always see the same side of the Moon, the part that’s lit up changes as it moves along its orbit. The amount of sunlight reflecting off the surface is what changes the Moon's appearance, and why sometimes it looks full, partly lit, or almost dark. 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.

Stephen Colbert trolls Barack Obama over viral aliens interview

Tue, 02/17/2026 - 07:16

Barack Obama's interview with the Associated Press has gone viral this week, after the former U.S. president engaged in a quickfire chat about alien life. "Are aliens real?" podcast host Brian Tyler Cohen asked. "They’re real," Obama answered. "But I haven’t seen them. And, they’re not being kept in Area 51."

You'd better believe Stephen Colbert noticed.

"That's it. We've got aliens!" the Late Show host said during his monologue on Monday night, before shunning Obama's attempt to clarify his statement on Instagram the next day.

"Booooooo! What happened to hope, buddy? This is why everyone likes Michelle better," joked Colbert. "Oh, you've seen the polls. Don't tell me you haven't seen the polling. I know you've seen the polling."

SEE ALSO: CBS refused to broadcast this Stephen Colbert interview. Here's how to watch it anyway

Then, it was time to get the tin-foil hats out.

"Now hear me out, ladies and gentlemen, I smell a big fat cover up," Colbert said. "Because Obama posted that clarification yesterday at 5:59 p.m. Eastern, when he was at the NBA All Star game. So Obama reveals aliens exist, then goes to a basketball game and suddenly changes his story? Who got to him? Could it be aliens? Because I'm calling it right now, they're making Space Jam 3."

The Pokémon TCG: Mega Evolution Elite Trainer Box is over $10 off at Amazon

Tue, 02/17/2026 - 06:55

TL;DR: The Pokémon TCG: Mega Evolution Elite Trainer Box has dropped to $99.45 at Amazon — about $10 off its usual $109.99 list price.

$109.99 Save $10.54 Get Deal

Elite Trainer Boxes tied to newer Pokémon TCG expansions don’t often fall in price, but Amazon has cut a decent amount off one of 2025’s most popular ETBs. As of Feb. 17, the Mega Lucario version of the Pokémon TCG: Mega Evolution Elite Trainer Box is now down to $99.45 on Amazon, cutting its usual $109.99 list price. 

For this lower price, you’ll get the same type of content Pokémon fans can expect from other ETBs: 

  • Nine Mega Evolution booster packs

  • Full-art foil promo card featuring Riolu

  • 65 card sleeves

  • 40 Energy cards

  • Six damage counter dice

  • Collector’s storage box with dividers (to help keep everything organized)

If you’ve been keeping an eye on Mega Evolution pricing lately, you’ll already know how rare it is to see these boxes dip below the $100 mark. For months, fluctuating stock levels and inflated reseller listings have kept prices higher than many collectors would like. Thankfully, things are starting to shift again as newer supply settles and discounts begin appearing more frequently on Amazon.

While prices across trading card marketplaces can vary depending on demand, Amazon remains one of the easier places to pick up Mega Evolution products that are readily available without overly breaking the bank. Dedicated trading card platform TCGplayer is completely out of stock for this version of the Mega Evolution ETB right now, so Amazon is the place to buy.

For more Pokémon TCG deals at Amazon, Ascended Heroes Tech Sticker Collections are still available for around $45. You can also pick up the Pokémon TCG’s Mega Evolution 3-Pack Blister for only $34.99.

Performance-wise, you’re looking at a speedy 165Hz refresh rate paired with an ultra-fast 0.1ms response time, which should keep fast-paced action feeling smooth and responsive. What’s more, support for AMD FreeSync Premium Pro and VESA DisplayHDR True Black 400 also helps reduce screen tearing and enhance darker scenes; this makes it especially great for both longer gaming sessions or when you’re playing in a well-lit room, which could normally make darker gameplay moments or cutscenes harder to see.

Beyond gaming, Alienware also has its Creator Mode and extensive connectivity options, which make it a flexible pick for content creation or multitasking workflows. Along with customizable AlienFX lighting and a sleek Legend 2.0 design, there’s lots of added value with this record deal.

We knew Nothing would be up to something (sorry) during this year's Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, but the company just made it official by sending us an invite for the launch of its next smartphone, the Nothing 4a.

The event is technically happening during MWC, which is held from March 2 to 5, 2026, but it will take place in London, UK. It starts at 10:30 a.m. GMT (5:30 a.m. ET), and it will be livestreamed on Nothing's website.

The invite's tagline is "something new is coming," though there's not a lot of mystery here, as the invite also says that the event is about the Nothing Phone 4a series.

During last year's MWC, Nothing launched two smartphones, the Nothing 3a and Nothing 3a Pro. Both were slick-looking, fairly affordable mid-rangers with big displays, big batteries, and a couple of Nothing-specific software features.

There's no official world on what, exactly, is coming, but we're probably going to see Nothing Phone 4a and Phone 4a Pro, both featuring Snapdragon 7-series chips. While Nothing is best known for its monochromatic designs, the new phones will probably be available in several colors.

Fun fact: Nothing's launch event will be held just one day after Apple's 'special experience' event, where the company is expected to launch a multitude of new products (as referenced by Nothing CEO Carl Pei's cheeky tweet). As we've said in our recent MWC overview, it's going to be a busy couple of weeks for gadget lovers.

The internet mourns civil rights icon Jesse Jackson

Tue, 02/17/2026 - 06:25

Tributes are pouring in for Reverend Jesse Jackson, Sr., who died on Tuesday aged 84.

The civil rights leader, Baptist minister, and founder of Chicago nonprofit Rainbow PUSH Coalition was a lifelong champion for social justice, human rights, and equality.

A key figure in the civil rights movement alongside Martin Luther King Jr., Jackson began with college sit-ins and demonstrations, and later ran as a Democratic candidate for president twice. He campaigned for equality and justice up to his eighties, demanding more equitability and diversity across society, including tech.

According to a statement issued by his family, Jackson died peacefully surrounded by loved ones, saying:

His unwavering commitment to justice, equality, and human rights helped shape a global movement for freedom and dignity. A tireless change agent, he elevated the voices of the voiceless from his Presidential campaigns in the 1980s to mobilising millions to register to vote - leaving an indelible mark on history.

Our father was a servant leader - not only to our family, but to the oppressed, the voiceless, and the overlooked around the world. We shared him with the world, and in return, the world became part of our extended family. His unwavering belief in justice, equality, and love uplifted millions, and we ask you to honour his memory by continuing the fight for the values he lived by.

According to the family statement, Jackson is survived by his wife, Jacqueline, children Santita, Jesse Jr., Jonathan, Yusef, Jacqueline, daughter Ashley Jackson, and their grandchildren.

The internet has also begun mourning Jackson's passing, with civil rights campaigners, politicians, and more posting tributes.

People have also been celebrating one of Jackson's most influential and famed skills, oration, by sharing some of his memorable speeches and appearances.

Many have begun posting videos of Jackson's iconic "I Am – Somebody" chant which became synonymous with his speeches in the '70s.

Jesse Jackson adapted his “I am Somebody” speech many times, never more memorably than this moving 1971 Sesame Street appearance. RIP. youtu.be/iTB1h18bHlY
