You might want to update the firmware on your HP laser printer, pronto.
HP published a security update on its website confirming that there are three separate security flaws affecting several models of laser printers. According to HP, certain LaserJet printers "may potentially be vulnerable to Remote Code Execution and Elevation of Privilege when processing a PostScript print job." The company didn't reveal any other details, but that certainly sounds bad. Fortunately, there are firmware updates for affected printers that you can download to resolve the issue.
SEE ALSO: Cybersecurity researchers discovered a scary security flaw with YouTube and GoogleThe three security vulnerabilities affect different models, which are listed on the security update page. There are simply too many to list here, so you should probably look at the list to see if your printer is affected. If it's any consolation, they mostly appear to be enterprise-grade printers.
HP rated the security flaws by severity, with one of them coming in as Critical, one as High, and the last one as Medium. In other words, anyone who owns one of these printers should prioritize getting the new firmware installed ASAP.
It would probably be kind of embarrassing if you were seriously compromised by a printer, so don't let that happen.

President Donald Trump is floating another taxpayer payout under his second presidential term, funded this time by the proposed savings achieved by his controversial "Department of Government Efficiency," or "DOGE."
Appearing at the Future Investment Initiative Institute Priority Summit on Feb. 19, Trump told attendees: "There’s even a... under consideration, a new concept where we give 20 percent of the DOGE savings to American citizens and 20 percent goes to paying down debt."
The genesis of the idea was not a discerning fiscal move out of Trump's government spending overhaul, but — par for the course under the current administration — a social media post. One day earlier, Elon Musk, leader of the de-facto government department, replied to an X post from James Fishback, CEO of investment firm Azoria and Trump ally, proposing the administration send out tax refund checks to every taxpayer to be known as "DOGE Dividends" and offering to meet with Trump and Musk in Washington, D.C. this week.
SEE ALSO: Robot, take the wheel: What you need to know about autonomous vehicles rolling out across the U.S.Musk's answer: "Will check with the President." One day later, Trump proposed the idea to summit attendees, and only a handful of hours passed before the suggested "stimulus checks round 2" were being discussed as a potential, if not probable, taxpayer benefit — fuel for the DOGE fire.
Tweet may have been deleted Are DOGE dividend checks real?The short answer? No. DOGE Dividend checks are based on an unofficial proposal by an American businessman and not a federal act or executive order. The checks themselves are based on expected (not yet realized) federal spending cuts.
But that doesn't mean Trump and Musk-led DOGE won't try to make something like it happen as they seek to tackle inflation and balance the federal budget.
"Few in America knew precisely what to expect from DOGE. The early perceived turbulence around leadership, the uncertainty around legal structure, and the lack of precedent for such a bold initiative created a sense of 'show me' with DOGE. Just a month into President Trump’s second term, DOGE is delivering. Full stop," wrote Fishback in his full proposal.
DOGE Dividend checks, according to Fishback's reasoning, would incentivize American taxpayers "to report instances of waste, fraud, and abuse to DOGE, which increases the total amount DOGE saves and increases the size of their DOGE Dividend check. This is appealing to both Musk and Trump, who have led the charge against what they deem "unethical" or "corrupt" spending in a sweeping and what some deem unconstitutional takeover of federal agencies.
But others, including DOGE's proponents, were skeptical. "Love what DOGE is doing, but this is a bad idea. There’s no need to send 'dividend checks.' The dividend we get from slashing spending is that it brings inflation into check. But if the government sends out stimmy checks, inflation will come back with a vengeance," wrote Preston Brashers, a tax policy researcher for the Heritage Foundation.
Rather than seeing dividend checks as another "handout," Fishback argued they would be a form of restitution. "We are returning the peoples' money to them, enabling them to save and pay down debt rather than see it wasted and abused," Fishback said in a reply to another skeptical X user.
SEE ALSO: What Elon Musk could do with the digital keys to the kingdom How much would you get from a DOGE dividend check?DOGE has set a goal of eliminating $2 trillion from the federal budget by July 4, 2026. According to Fishback's proposed plan, the Trump administration will take 20 percent of that expected $2 trillion (approximately $400 billion) and split it up by the expected amount of federal tax payers in 2025 (around 79 million U.S. residents).
Based on that rough math, Trump, parroting Fishback's plan, proposed a future $5,000 check per individual taxpayer, a number that would eclipse the $1,400 Economic Impact Payments (also known as stimulus checks) sent out to individuals in 2021.
The real life numbers aren't making it clear if that could even happen. So far, DOGE has reported that it's already uncovered and cut back $16 billion in federal contracts. It's supporters, including Fishback, claim the agency has slashed $1 billion in spending per day. Those numbers are widely disputed.
With no shopping holidays or savings events on the immediate horizon, you may think you're out of luck for scoring a deal. Fortunately, that's not the case — especially at Amazon. You just have to do some digging. As of Feb. 20, we've found a few discounts we think are worth grabbing at the mega retailer.
Here are our top picks for the best Amazon deals of the day. If none of these are your cup of tea, be sure to check out our picks from Feb. 18 and Feb. 19. Many of those are still live, including the best price ever on the Garmin Forerunner 955 and Eufy Omni C20 robot vacuum and mop.
Our top pick: Ultimate Ears Megaboom 4 Opens in a new window Credit: Ultimate Ears Ultimate Ears Megaboom 4 $135.44 at AmazonIf you're looking for a portable speaker that actually sounds good, check out the Ultimate Ears Megaboom 4. We haven't tested it ourselves, but we have spent some time with its pint-sized sibling (the Wonderboom 4) and it's one of our absolute favorites. We expect that the Megaboom offers similar features, but stepped up into a bigger package. It can pump out tunes for up to 20 hours on a full charge, is virtually indestructible thanks to IP67 waterproofing, and packs a full range driver for powerful 360-degree sound with balance, clarity, and impressive bass. As of Feb. 20, you can pick up the Megaboom 4 in black at its best price ever, just $135.44 at Amazon. That's 32% in savings.
Apple Studio Display Opens in a new window Credit: Apple Apple Studio Display $1,299.99 at AmazonThe Apple Studio Display is a premium monitor built for content creators.

It also has a built-in A13 chip that helps with image processing for the 8-megapixel camera, Spatial Audio, and Dolby Atmos support. "For Mac-centric content creators, the Studio Display is a stunning, plug-and-go 5K companion for a late-model Mac (especially the 2022 Mac Studio), but the pricing for the panel and its options is hard to swallow," our friends at PCMag (also owned by Ziff Davis) write in their review. Fortunately, if you've been eyeing it for awhile, it's on sale for $1,299.99 or 19% off its usual cost as of Feb. 20. That's still pretty hefty, but certainly beats the usual $1,599 price tag.

Oppo's Find N5, the world's thinnest book-style foldable phone, is now official.
The company teased the device back in January, but now it's officially launched globally. However, we currently only know the pricing in Singapore, where it starts at $2,499 SGD ($1,868).
That's 8.12 inches of screen real estate. Credit: OppoThat's a lot of money for a smartphone, but the value proposition here is simple and probably resonates with a lot of people: The Oppo Find N5 is a powerful phone with a large battery, a huge, foldable display, and yet it's basically as thin as a regular phone when folded. At just 8.93 millimeters, it's just slightly thicker than the Apple iPhone 16 Pro Max, which is 8.25 millimeters thick (despite, as you've probably noticed, not being foldable). And at 229 grams, the Oppo Find N5 is not the lightest phone around but it's definitely manageable.
SEE ALSO: Apple iPhone 16e doesn't have MagSafe, but there's a fixIt would all be in vain if the other specs didn't follow, but they do. Oppo Find N5 has an 8.12-inch main OLED display, and a 6.62-inch OLED cover display, both with a 120Hz refresh rate. Inside there's a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite, paired with 12/16GB of RAM and 256/512/1,024GB of storage. On the back there's a triple camera system, with a 50-megapixel main shooter, a 50-megapixel periscope telephoto camera, and an 8-megapixel ultrawide camera; on the front, there's an 8-megapixel selfie camera. Finally, it's all powered by a massive, 5,600mAh battery with 80W wired charging and 50W wireless charging.
You can tell friends it's not really a phone, but a very small laptop. Credit: OppoOther details of note include stereo speakers and IPX8/IPX9 water resistance (Oppo says it's the first foldable phone that has been tested to withstand water jets at extreme temperatures).
Oppo Find N5 is launching with Android 15, paired with Oppo's ColorOS 15.
The Oppo Find N5 becomes available for pre-order on Feb. 21, with global availability starting on Feb. 28.
In less than two weeks, Mobile World Congress will kick off in Barcelona, and remind us all that phones can still be exciting. Well, hopefully.
The world's premier mobile industry event, MWC was hurt pretty badly during the COVID pandemic, and it even went away entirely in 2020. But it's been slowly returning to form ever since, and this year is poised to be pretty interesting.
MWC 2025: What, where and whenThe MWC, or Mobile World Congress, is a large mobile industry event held annually in Barcelona, typically with more than a hundred thousand visitors. It's essentially an enormous business meeting for mobile industry folks, but a lot of mobile phone makers and consumer electronics companies take the stage in Barcelona's massive Fira Gran Via venue to announce new products, and this is where we come in.
Here at Mashable, we've been covering MWC for 15 years, and we'll be there in person once again to sift through all of the new phones and gadgets and report back on the most interesting ones.
This year, MWC is held from March 3 to March 6 (Monday to Thursday). But some announcements typically come one or two days ahead of the actual event, so stay tuned for news on Saturday and Sunday.
By the way, if you're in Barcelona and want to attend the MWC as a regular visitor, you can do so: Tickets for the event start from 989 euros ($1,028), and can be bought here.
In the past couple of years, Xiaomi has taken the lead at MWC, being one of the largest smartphone makers to launch their flagship devices during the event. This year, the company's got an event scheduled for Sunday, and we strongly suspect we'll see the company's new flagship for Europe. This will likely be the Xiaomi 15, which has already launched in China, but it's possible that we see a more powerful variant, too.
Xiaomi 15 (pictured) is already out in China, and now it's probably going global. Credit: XiaomiIf the Xiaomi 15 Ultra does make an appearance, you can expect it to be more camera than phone, with monster specs all around and a different design from the regular Xiaomi 15.
NothingThere are no huge surprises here, as Nothing has already sent out invites for the Phone (3a) (that's Nothing's more affordable series of phones). We can once again expect to see a partially see-through, cleverly designed Android phone that's good value for the money.
Tweet may have been deletedThe only mystery here is whether the company will also launch something else during the event; the official invite is for "Phone (3a) Series," so perhaps we'll see more than variant?
SamsungWill Samsung have people in Barcelona for the MWC? Absolutely. But will the company have a big event there? Probably not, as we haven't seen much in way of invites, announcements, teasers, or leaks.
It's going to be thin. Credit: SamsungStill, the company always makes sure it brings something new to the MWC. Last year, we've got our first glimpse of the Samsung Galaxy Ring. This year, the gadget everyone wants to see is the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge, the super slim new flagship which was teased back in January; we're not holding our breath for that one, but it's a possibility.
HonorHonor has an event scheduled for Sunday, March 2, and we presume the company's going to show new gadgets in Barcelona.
Last year, Honor launched the Magic6 Pro and the Honor MagicBook Pro 16 laptop.
Tweet may have been deletedThis year, however, the company is about to unveil something called the Honor Alpha Plan, and whatever it is, it'll have a lot to do with AI.
TCL TCL's NXTPAPER phones are due for an upgrade. Credit: Stan Schroeder/MashableChina's TCL always has a presence in Barcelona, and it typically brings a ton of new phones and tablets to the show. We expect to see more of those snazzy NXTPAPER phones, which are as easy on the eyes as e-readers, but as capable as regular phones.
Nokia (HMD Global)Ever since the Nokia brand was acquired by HMD Global, the company keeps returning to MWC to scratch our nostalgia itch with a legendary Nokia do-over, and launch a couple of affordable phones on the side as well. We're not sure what HMD's got cooking for 2025, but we'll be there in Barcelona to find out.
HMD Global is hosting an event on Sunday, March 2. Credit: HMD GlobalThe company has an event scheduled for March 2, so expect to see some new Nokias on the date.
LenovoLenovo is the king of weird laptops. Last year, the company brought a transparent laptop to Barcelona, and while we weren't quite convinced that the see-through bit was useful, it sure as heck was cool to look at.
Is this the new Lenovo laptop? We sure hope it is. Credit: Evan BlassThis year, rumors say Lenovo will unveil the ThinkBook Flip AI, a laptop with a gigantic, foldable display. Now that's something we could put to good use.
Lenovo's subsidiary Motorola also tends to bring cool stuff to Barcelona every year. In 2024, it was this bendy phone-that's-also-a-bracelet thingie, so we're pretty hyped to see what that company's been working on since.
MWC 2025: Anything else?Oh, yes. The MWC is a high-tech event with tons of stuff like robots, cars, and AI-related announcements. In fact, we bet that every single company that's exhibiting will mention the words "artificial intelligence" at least once, if not seventy hundred times. Last year, we've seen some really cool stuff, including Xiaomi's CyberDog 2 that can do backflips, a bendy Motorola phone, and MediaTek's seriously impressive AI image generation demo. We expect to see more cool gadgets like these this year, too.

12. The Crow30 years ago, director Alex Proyas and leading man Brandon Lee teamed up for a scorching adaptation of James O'Barr's comic book series The Crow, with a face-melting soundtrack to match. Maybe if you've never seen that seminal movie, Rupert Sanders' grubby, ultra-violent, but uninspired reboot wouldn't feel like such a galling disappointment. But as a longtime lover of the 1994 movie, I dubbed its 2024 remake as "repulsive and abysmal."
The plotline is familiar. Eric Draven (Bill Skarsgård) and his girlfriend (FKA twigs) are murdered by malevolent criminals, only for him to become risen again for vengeance. But screenwriters Zach Baylin and William Josef Schneider make some notable changes — though not for the better.
As I wrote in my review, "In the end, 2024's The Crow is only an echo of an echo of the original, sometimes literally repeating the 1994 film's best lines, but in a new context that makes them more cringe than compelling...Ugly, incoherent, and ultimately cynical, The Crow evokes the words of wisdom from another horror movie about resurrected corpses on a rampage: Sometimes dead is better." —K.P.
Starring: Bill Skarsgård, FKA twigs, and Danny Huston
How to watch: The Crow is now streaming on Starz.
11. Sonic the Hedgehog 3Teethgate aside, the latest batch of Sonic the Hedgehog films are completely fine movies with absolutely and shockingly killer cast performances. Jim Carrey's Dr. Robotnik is one of his most gloriously ridiculous and underrated roles to date. The second film saw Idris Elba crushing it as Knuckles. And for the third, Keanu Reeves joins the cast as Shadow the Hedgehog.
SEE ALSO: 'Sonic the Hedgehog 3' review: Two times the Jim Carrey in this third movieDirected by Jeff Fowler and written by Pat Casey, Josh Miller, and John Whittington, Sonic The Hedgehog 3 sees Ben Schwartz back as Sonic, Colleen O'Shaughnessey voicing Tails again, and Carrey making a triumphant return this time playing both Dr. Ivo "Eggman" Robotnik and his grandfather Gerald, Shadow's creator. That's a lot of villain firepower.* — Shannon Connellan, UK Editor

10. Grosse Pointe Garden SocietyIf you miss Big Little Lies or Desperate Housewives, you may well relish Gross Pointe Garden Society. Created by Bill Krebs (Good Girls) and Jenna Bans (Desperate Housewives), this mystery series kicks off with a motley crew of murderers burying a body in their prized community garden.
Who are these curious killers? A garden club made up of a sugary sweet high school teacher, a put-upon divorced dad, a picture-perfect real estate agent with a sultry secret, and a sharp-witted socialite. Who'd they kill? Well, White Lotus-style, that's not for us to know right out the gate. Instead, the series will leap back to six months before the apparent homicide, setting up its quirky anti-heroes — and the could-be victims in their life. Even from episode 1, juicy twists and cheeky turns will pop up. But how will this murder mystery bloom? You'll have to tune in to find out. —K.P.
Starring: Melissa Fumero, Aja Naomi King, Ben Rappaport, and AnnaSophia Robb
How to watch: Grosse Pointe Garden Society premieres Feb. 23 at 10p ET/PT on NBC, and will stream on Peacock on Feb. 24.
9. Things Will Be DifferentIf you like your sci-fi slight and sly, you'll relish director Michael Felker's unusual family drama, which first entranced us at SXSW 2024.
Things Will Be Different begins with a bank-robbing brother and sister duo, Joseph and Sidney (Adam David Thompson and Riley Dandy), who are planning to flee not only the scene of the crime but their current timeline altogether. A mysterious safe house on a remote farm transports them and their bags of cash to the past, where they can lie low as their former present ticks by. But their plan hits a snag when their way out is blocked, and a masked stranger shows up guns blazing. Marooned on this farm in the past, the siblings will learn whether family bonds will keep them together or tear them apart. —K.P.
Starring: Adam David Thompson and Riley Dandy
How to watch: Things Will Be Different begins streaming on Hulu on Feb. 21.
8. A Thousand BlowsPeaky Blinders creator Steven Knight returns with an energetic new show inspired by real figures of 1880s London — where the fist fights are bare-knuckled and the thieves long-gloved. Two friends Hezekiah (Black Mirror's Malachi Kirby) and Alec (Small Axe's Francis Lovehall) emigrate to the UK from Jamaica, the former being a talented boxer. This draws the attention of the best fighter on the Thames, Sugar Goodson (screen icon Stephen Graham), and their rivalry promises to draw more than a crowd. Beyond the ring, however, an all-women gang of thieves run by Mary Carr (The Crown's Erin Doherty) are looking for their own piece of the action. — S.C.
Starring: Malachi Kirby, Stephen Graham, Erin Doherty, Francis Lovehall, Ziggy Heath, and Jason Tobin
How to watch: A Thousand Blows begins streaming on Disney+ and Hulu on Feb. 21.
7. Zero DayRobert De Niro takes on his first lead TV role in Zero Day, a political thriller also starring Lizzy Caplan, Jesse Plemons, and Angela Bassett. De Niro plays former U.S. president George Mullen, who finds himself back in the political fray after a nationwide cyberattack causes fear and discord across the country. Now heading a commission meant to root out wrongdoers, George must sort through a vast conspiracy and battle personal demons in order to find the truth.
Zero Day is a serviceable thriller, boasting some slick twists and a stacked cast. But it falters when it comes to its examination of American politics and division, both of which are at the heart of the show. Wishy-washy discussions about reaching across the aisle mean less when we don't which side of the aisle people are on. That same reticence to classify people by party indirectly places blame for division on the American public, when most of it is stoked by those in power for their own gain. The frustrating approach means that Zero Day can't meet or speak to this current political moment. Instead, it turns away. — Belen Edwards, Entertainment Reporter
Starring: Robert De Niro, Lizzy Caplan, Jesse Plemons, Joan Allen, Connie Britton, Bill Camp, Dan Stevens, McKinley Belcher III, and Angela Bassett
How to watch: Zero Day begins streaming on Netflix on Feb. 20.
6. Win or LosePixar's first original TV series follows the Pickles youth softball team in the week leading up to their championship game, with each episode focusing on a related character. Anxious players, a lovesick umpire, parents getting too invested in the game; each get their moment in the spotlight.
In typical Pixar fashion, Win or Lose brilliantly uses animation to externalize the characters' emotional states. Pickles player Laurie's (voiced by Rosie Foss) worst fears materialize as an ever-growing ball of sweat (Jo Firestone) that eggs on her anxiety, while umpire Frank (Josh Thomson) suits up in imaginary armor to deflect the ire of critical spectators. Thanks to this fanciful visual storytelling, Win or Lose highlights that everyone has a story worth exploring.
It's unfortunate, then, that Win or Lose can't even follow that ethos. In Dec. 2024, The Hollywood Reporter broke the story that Win or Lose would be cutting a plot about a transgender character on the team. Instead of being trans, the Pickles' star player Kai (Chanel Stewart) is now cisgender. The move is disappointing and disheartening, especially when the U.S. government is working overtime to erase trans and queer stories and rights. With Pixar similarly erasing a trans storyline from its own work, Win or Lose's many charms suffer by comparison, and the show's message of empathy feels hollow. — B.E.
Starring: Will Forte, Rosie Foss, Josh Thomson, Milan Elizabeth Ray, Rosa Salazar, Dorien Watson, Izaac Wang, Chanel Stewart, Lil Rel Howery, Melissa Villaseñor, Jo Firestone, Flula Borg, Kyleigh Curran, Jaylin Fletcher, Erin Keif, Tom Law, Beck Nolan, Orion Tran, and Rhea Seehorn
How to watch: The first two episodes of Win or Lose are now streaming on Disney+, with new episodes every Wednesday.
5. The World According to Allee WillisOne of the gems out of SXSW 2024, The World According to Allee Willis welcomes you into the life and times of an extraordinary and influential musician — whose name may not ring bells.
Ever got down to Earth Wind and Fire's "September" or "Boogie Wonderland?" Did you love The Color Purple Musical? Do you know the Friends' theme by heart? Then you've had a brush with the incredible creativity of the American singer-songwriter, who not only penned a barrage of hits but also inspired countless artists and colleagues. Documentarian Alexis Spraic sits down with a slew of them to explore the weird and wonderful world of Allee Willis. Enlightening, engaging, and entertaining, this fun bio-doc offers food for thought.—K.P.
Starring: Paul Reubens, Julie Brown, Paul Feig, Michael Patrick King, and Cyndi Lauper
How to watch: The World According to Allie Willis is now available for rental or purchase on Prime Video.
4. American Murder: Gabby PetitoIn the fall of 2021, the disappearance of Gabby Petito, a 22-year-old aspiring vanlife influencer, made headlines nationwide, as police, her loved ones, and the public quested to find her — or her the last person she was seen with, her fiancé Brian Christopher Laundrie. As widely covered as this true crime tragedy was, you might think you know everything about this case. But this documentary mini-series speaks to her friends and family, revealing not only new details but also a warning for those in abusive relationships.
Over the course of three episodes, American Murder: Gabby Petito reveals the young woman behind the headlines, through family photos and warm recollections from her loved ones. But also, they recount the red flags about Laundrie's controlling behavior and that of his mother ahead of Pepito's death. The careful conversation around the topic of abuse and domestic violence doesn't shame the dead, but rather urges the audience to investigate their own lives for warning signs. From there, the series even explores how social media played a role in cracking the case, and even how Pepito's story is one of many.
There's a seemingly endless flood of true crime content on streaming to choose from. But American Murder: Gabby Petito is rare, in that it's mindfully done, keeping the victim and her survivors in focus, and doesn't feel like it was stretched thin to feed demand of more episodes. —K.P.
How to watch: American Murder: Gabby Petito is now streaming on Netflix.
3. Nosferatu (2024)From The Witch to The Lighthouse to The Northman, writer/director Robert Eggers has carved out a series of stories dark, lusty, and brutally violent. His remake of F.W. Murnau's 1922 horror classic Nosferatu pulled no punches, unfurling a story of infernal love between a haunted young bride (Lily-Rose Depp) and an ancient, ravenous vampire (Bill Skarsgård).
Studded with stars and gruesome spectacle, Eggers' Nosferatu thrilled audiences, becoming a box office hit, inspiring cosplays, fan art, and thirst traps on Tiktok, and scoring four Academy Award nominations for its lusciously realized costumes, decadent design, and putrid make-up looks. Whether you've missed out on all this twisted fun, or are hungry for more, this horror offering is now on digital, easier to bite into than ever before. —K.P.
SEE ALSO: Willem Dafoe and Robert Eggers reveal their inspirations for 'Nosferatu'. It goes deeper than you may think.Starring: Bill Skarsgård, Nicholas Hoult, Lily-Rose Depp, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Emma Corrin, Ralph Ineson, Simon McBurney, and Willem Dafoe
How to watch: Nosferatu is now available for digital purchase on Prime Video.
2. The BrutalistNominated for 10 Academy Awards and winning four BAFTAs, Brady Corbet's epic drama has been awing critics and artists alike. However, a runtime of three hours and 43 minutes — including a 15 minute intermission — might have been a bit much for some cinephiles to handle in theaters. Good news for them — or anyone who wants to see The Brutalist again — this heralded drama about an immigrant architect's struggles in post-World War II Pennsylvania is now available to view at home.
One of the best films of 2024, The Brutalist awed our reviewer, Siddhant Adlakha, who wrote in his review for Mashable, "Comparisons to The Godfather have abounded since its Venice International Film Festival premiere (though as a vast immigrant saga, a more fitting analogy might be The Godfather Part II). Time will tell whether these are hyperbole, but while watching The Brutalist, it's hard not to think of the truly great American stories of the 20th century, like Once Upon a Time in America, and, on occasion, even Citizen Kane...The Brutalist is, deep in its bones, a collectivist film that not only places immense emotional value on people and their history, but creates and embodies that value too." —K.P.
Starring: Adrien Brody, Felicity Jones, Guy Pearce, Joe Alwyn, and Alessandro Nivola
How to watch: The Brutalist is available for digital purchase on Prime Video.
1. Love MeKristen Stewart and Steven Yeun star as will-they-won't-they lovers on a post-apocalyptic Earth in Love Me. But not like you might expect, considering these actors.
Written and directed by Sam Zuchero and Andy Zuchero, Love Me is a romance not between two impossibly beautiful humans, but between two AI robots who cross paths long after humanity's left the chat. One is a buoy programmed to learn. The other is a satellite equipped with a deep vault of information about mankind — including the cached videos of a couple of influencers who relish silly onesies, date night, Friends, and Blue Apron.
SEE ALSO: 'Love Me' review: Kristen Stewart and Steven Yeun explore love at the end of the worldNaturally, these long-dead lovers become the model upon which robots try to understand relationships. It may sound bonkers or even cynical. But, incredibly, Love Me is warm, funny, and occasionally shocking, finding not only the humanity in its AI bots, but also what's real in the virtual.* —K.P.
Starring: Kristen Stewart and Steven Yeun
How to watch: Love Me is now available for rental or purchase on Prime Video.

A moon of Jupiter about the size of Mercury likely has a several-miles-deep ocean under its icy shell, according to a new study.
This Jovian moon, Callisto, is the outermost of 95 circling the gas giant planet. Back in the 1990s, NASA's Galileo spacecraft discovered something strange about it: The moon seemed to react to Jupiter’s changing magnetic field. Knowing that saltwater can conduct electricity, scientists suspected the world might have a layer of liquid ocean deep down.
But it wasn't an open-and-shut case. Callisto also seemed to have an ionosphere, a layer of electrically charged particles high in its atmosphere. That meant scientists couldn't rule out the possibility it was the ionosphere — not a subsurface ocean — causing the magnetic reactions.
Now researchers are more optimistic than ever that Callisto is among the pantheon of water worlds in the solar system. And where there's water, there's the chance for life as we know it.
SEE ALSO: NASA spacecraft saw something incredible near Jupiter's Great Red Spot From left, moons Ganymede, Callisto, and Io are seen orbiting Jupiter in a Hubble Space Telescope image. Credit: NASA / ESA / Hubble Heritage Team (STScI / AURA)Callisto, the third largest moon in the entire solar system, orbits Jupiter from about 1.2 million miles away. The rocky world, discovered in 1610 by Italian Renaissance man Galileo Galilei, has earned a reputation as the most heavily cratered moon in our solar system.
The new evidence regarding Callisto comes from a somewhat surprising place: old data. NASA's Galileo mission, which launched into space in 1989, was designed to study Jupiter, its moons, and its surrounding invisible magnetic bubble, called the magnetosphere. The spacecraft had 35 encounters with Jupiter's major moons, including eight with Callisto, before the mission ended in 2003.
Recently, a team of scientists took another look at Galileo's data, using advanced computer models and statistical techniques. Unlike prior studies, the team analyzed all the magnetic measurements from the close flybys of Callisto. Their findings revealed that Callisto’s ionosphere alone could not explain the magnetic reactions — and when they factored in an underground ocean, the data made more sense. The research, published in the journal AGU Advances, helps substantiate the ocean theory.
The team predicts the ocean is locked beneath a solid ice shell that could be tens to hundreds of miles thick. The flowing water likely wraps around a solid rocky core. If true, that would make Callisto a close sibling to Europa, another moon of Jupiter.
Though the existence of an ocean remains inconclusive, future spacecraft measurements should be able to confirm once and for all whether Callisto is hiding liquid water. NASA's Europa Clipper and the European Space Agency's JUICE, a wonky acronym for Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer, are expected to capture data when they make flybys. China's planned Tianwen-4 mission may also observe Callisto.
After a successful October 2024 launch, Europa Clipper has been hurtling through space. It's on schedule to make its first flyby of Mars on Feb. 27, where it will get a gravity assist to continue its journey. The craft won't arrive at Europa until 2030. JUICE, which launched in 2023, will have a Venus flyby this August. The spacecraft isn't expected to reach Jupiter to begin its science mission until 2031.
Whether the moon could harbor life is unknown, but it's "on the list" of possible places NASA would like to look. Not only does it probably have a salty ocean, but a layer of rocks more than 150 miles beneath the surface. Both are key conditions known for leading to life on Earth. Oxygen and hydrogen have also been detected in Callisto's extremely thin atmosphere.
SAVE OVER $30: As of Feb. 20, the Apple iPhone 15 Silicone Case is just $9.99 at Amazon, down from $49. That’s 80% off, making it the cheapest official MagSafe case I’ve ever seen.
Opens in a new window Credit: Apple Apple iPhone 15 Silicone Case $9.99 at AmazonI’ve always liked Apple’s Silicone Cases, but I’ve never been able to justify paying $49 for one. That’s borderline ridiculous for a phone case, especially when there are solid third-party options for less. But at $9.99 via Amazon, this is an instant buy if you’ve got an iPhone 15. You’re getting Apple’s fit and finish, MagSafe compatibility, and solid protection for your phone for the price of a fancy coffee.
I’ve used these silicone cases in the past, and they always feel great to hold. The soft-touch silicone finish has this slightly grippy texture, which makes it feel secure in the hand while still sliding into pockets easily. It also helps with accidental drops, since it’s not slippery like some hard-shell cases.
SEE ALSO: I can’t believe this 85-inch Hisense U7 4K TV is $900 offAnd speaking of drops, this case actually does a decent job of absorbing impact. The microfiber lining on the inside helps cushion the phone, while the raised edges around the camera and screen give extra protection where it matters most. If you’ve ever set your phone down on a table and cringed at the thought of tiny scratches forming, those raised edges will save you from that stress.
Another underrated feature is how well it keeps dust and lint away. With some cheaper cases, I’ve noticed dust collecting around the side buttons and inside the camera cutout, which is annoying to clean. Apple’s precise fit prevents that from happening, keeping the phone looking clean and polished for longer.
Of course, MagSafe compatibility is a big win here. The built-in magnets make wireless charging effortless, whether you’re using Apple’s MagSafe charger or a third-party Qi pad. It also works perfectly with MagSafe wallets, car mounts, and stands, so you’re not sacrificing any of the iPhone 15’s best features.
The only downside? This price won’t last. Apple rarely discounts their accessories, and an 80% Amazon price cut like this is unheard of. If you’ve been meaning to get a case, now’s the time — before this deal disappears.
SAVE $24: As of Feb. 20, the Samsung Galaxy Buds 3 Pro are on sale for $125.99 at Amazon, down from $149.99. That’s 16% off, making them an excellent pick for anyone who wants AI-enhanced sound, active noise cancellation, and real-time translation.
Opens in a new window Credit: Samsung Samsung Galaxy Buds 3 Pro $125.99 at AmazonI’ve gone through my fair share of wireless earbuds, and Samsung Galaxy Buds 3 Pro are easily one of the best I’ve tried. They deliver top-tier sound quality, smart noise cancellation, and actual AI-powered features that make a difference. Right now, they’re only $125.99 at Amazon, which is $24 off the usual price.
The sound quality is fantastic. Samsung’s SSC HiFi and UHQ audio codecs ensure clear highs, deep bass, and crisp vocals. Thanks to the 24bit/96KHz support, listening to music, watching a movie, or taking a call sounds amazing. The 360 Audio feature even creates a surround sound effect that works especially well with Samsung Galaxy devices.
SEE ALSO: I can’t believe this 85-inch Hisense U7 4K TV is $900 offThe Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) is next-level. It adapts in real time to block unwanted noise while letting in voices when needed. If I’m in a noisy café, it drowns out background chatter without making everything sound unnatural. AI-powered voice enhancement also makes calls crystal clear, even in busy environments.
One of the most surprising features is the real-time translation. Using Samsung’s Galaxy AI, these buds can translate conversations on the fly, which is incredibly useful for travel. I tested it with a friend speaking Spanish, and the live translation was surprisingly accurate.
Battery life is solid, too. You get five to eight hours of playback on a single charge, with the case providing up to 18 hours total. It supports wired and wireless charging, so a quick top-up is always easy.
Samsung Galaxy Buds 3 Pro is a steal at $125.99 on Amazon. If you want great audio, next-level noise cancellation, and AI-powered features, grab this deal while it lasts.
SAVE OVER $100: As of Feb. 20, the Garmin Instinct 2 is on sale for $194.83 at Amazon, down from $299.99. That’s 35% off, making it a steal for anyone who loves hiking, running, or outdoor adventures.
Opens in a new window Credit: Garmin Garmin Instinct 2 $194.83 at AmazonI’ve put my Garmin Instinct 2 through serious wear and tear, and it has never disappointed me. If you need a GPS smartwatch that can actually handle the outdoors, this is the one to get. Right now, it’s only $194.83 at Amazon, which is $105 off the usual price.
This thing is built like a tank. It’s water-rated to 100 meters, shock-resistant, and made with fiber-reinforced polymer. I’ve banged it against rocks, dunked it in water, and taken it on freezing winter hikes. It still works perfectly. The scratch-resistant Gorilla Glass means the screen doesn’t end up a scratched-up mess like other fitness watches I’ve owned.
SEE ALSO: I can’t believe this 85-inch Hisense U7 4K TV is $900 offThe battery life is incredible. It lasts up to 28 days in smartwatch mode and 30 hours with GPS tracking. That means I can go on multi-day hikes without constantly worrying about charging. The built-in GPS, GLONASS, and Galileo tracking make it easy to follow trails and find my way back with TracBack routing.
The health tracking is solid too. It monitors heart rate, sleep, Pulse Ox, stress, and even respiration. I’ve used it to track my runs, hikes, and swims, and the built-in sports apps are surprisingly helpful. The VO2 Max feature is great for anyone who likes pushing their fitness limits.
If you’ve been looking for a reliable, tough-as-nails smartwatch that won’t die on your mid-adventure, now’s the time to grab the Garmin Instinct 2. It’s rarely this cheap, and $194.83 via Amazon is an absolute steal.
