Threads, Meta's alternative to X, formerly Twitter, had almost everything it needed to succeed. It's backed by one of the biggest of the Big Tech companies. It's directly integrated with Instagram, the mega popular photo sharing app. With all its powers combined, Threads was able to grow to 100 million users in just 5 days.
However, there was one crucial element that the platform was missing: A 'dot com' domain name.
But, as of April 24, Meta has solved Threads' URL problem. Threads.com now officially points users to the web version of the Threads platform.
"Today, we’re moving from Threads.net to Threads.com," Meta said in an announcement posted on the company blog alongside feature updates to the platform.
As Elon Musk continues to put his unique stamp on X, many liberal users are seeking out new social media homes. X competitors like Bluesky and Threads appear to have won out as the official Twitter replacements, although neither have come close to achieving critical mass.
Threads finally using Threads.com as its official URL won't beat out X alone, but studies have shown that internet users still use and trust .com domain names more than any other domain extension. This move from Threads.net to Threads.com will only help the platform.
Threads originally launched in July 2023 strictly as a mobile app. One month later, Threads rolled out the web version of the social media platform. However, Threads on the web was previously located at Threads.net.
Why? At the time, Meta simply did not own the dot-com domain. Plenty of users went to Threads.com when Meta launched the platform. However, users who visited the URL were then directed to a website for a startup company that was building a Slack alternative called Threads — not exactly an ideal user experience.
Unsurprisingly, the Slack alternative unfortunately named Threads later noted that it received acquisition interest from Meta. The following year, the startup announced that Shopify had acquired the company. Then, in September 2024, tech outlets noticed that the ownership information listed in the Whois domain records for Threads.com pointed to a new owner — Meta.
It's unclear how much Meta paid for the domain name, but on Thursday, the company made Threads.com official.
Motorola finally shut off all the leaks surrounding its new Razr phones on Thursday by just announcing them officially.
The American tech firm announced its latest batch of foldable phones, which consists of three new Razr devices: The Razr (2025), Razr Plus (2025), and Razr Ultra. You can see a full rundown of specs and features in Motorola's company blog post, but suffice it to say, the Ultra with the wood finish is probably the star of the show here.
Motorola claims that thanks to its Snapdragon processor, the new Motorola Razr Ultra will be the world's most powerful flip phone, as well as the fastest-charging flip phone.
The new Motorola Razr comes in a sick wood finish. Credit: Motorola SEE ALSO: Everything we know about the new Motorola Razr: Leaks, launch date, price The Motorola Razr Ultra: Flagship specs and a Snapdragon processorIt's the most expensive phone of the bunch at $1,300, but you get what you pay for, specs-wise. The Razr Ultra has a 4-inch cover display on the exterior and a 7-inch display on the interior, with a beefy 16GB of RAM and 512GB of storage. You'll also get a big 4,700mAh battery on top of a new Snapdragon 8 Elite processor, plus a trio of 50MP camera lenses to play with. It also comes in a swaggy new faux-wood finish as an option, which is definitely one of the coolest-looking phones I've seen in a minute.
Here are the key specs:
Displays: 4-inch external screen, 7-inch internal screen
Processor: Snapdragon 8 Elite processor
RAM: 16GB
Storage options: 512GB, 1TB
Battery: 4,700mAh
Cameras: 50MP wide, 50MP ultrawide, 50MP selfie
Colorways: Pantone Cabaret, Pantone Scarab, Pantone Rio Red, Pantone Mountain Trail (wood finish)
The Motorola Razr Ultra also has a dedicated AI button, though the features you can access with it as a shortcut are also available on the other new Razr devices.
The Motorola Razr 2025 lineup comes with Moto AI"Moto AI," as it's called, can do interesting things like keep a pin in items you specifically ask it to remember for you to bring up later. There's also a "Group Shot" photo feature similar to what's been on recent Google Pixel phones, which lets you put multiple group photos together into one, giving you a "perfect" shot where no one is making a funny face.
AI features like this are becoming standard now in the smartphone market, with each successive launch bringing new AI features to the market. Moto AI gets a boost from Google Gemini, including Google Gemini Live mode.
Credit: Motorola SEE ALSO: The Google Pixel 9a is available now: How to buy The new Motorola Razr and Razr PlusThe other two new Razr phones aren't quite as fancy as the Ultra, but as a consolation, they're also considerably cheaper. The base model starts at $699 and comes with a smaller 3.6-inch cover screen and a slightly smaller 6.9-inch interior display. You only get an older MediaTek Dimensity 7400X processor to go along with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage, and the camera array isn't as impressive, but if you want an affordable foldable, this is an affordable foldable.
Here are the base model's specs:
Displays: 3.6-inch external screen, 6.9-inch internal screen
Processor: MediaTek Dimensity 7400X
RAM: 8GB
Storage: 256GB of storage
Battery: 4,500mAh battery
Cameras: 50MP wide, 13MP ultrawide, 32MP selfie
The $999 Razr Plus is an interesting middle-ground. It retains the 4-inch cover screen from the Ultra and the 6.9-inch display from the base model. It uses a slightly newer Snapdragon 8S Gen 3 processor than what's in the base model, but it still probably won't be as performant as the Ultra. You get 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage here, as well as a 50MP wide lens and 50MP telephoto lens to play with on the back.
And here are the key specs for the Razr Plus, with our colleagues at CNET filling in some details on the processor and battery:
Displays: 4-inch external screen, 6.9-inch internal screen
Processor: Snapdragon 8S Gen 3
RAM: 12GB
Storage: 256GB of storage
Battery: 4,500mAh battery
Cameras: 50MP wide, 13MP ultrawide, 32MP selfie
One thing is clear: Motorola has come a long way since the first, very disappointing attempt at bringing back the Razr as a foldable five years ago.
The 2025 editions of the Motorola Razr, Razr+, and Razr Ultra will be available for pre-order for U.S. customers starting May 7 at Motorola, Best Buy, and Amazon. For now, you can register for updates at the Motorola website.
We'll update this post with additional purchase details when we have them, and we're hoping to have a full hands-on review of the new phones soon.
The first round of the 2025 NFL Draft kicks off Thursday in Green Bay, Wisconsin, as teams look to land their next big star from a deep pool of collegiate talent.
If the draft feels overwhelming, you're not alone. With hundreds of college prospects, complex draft mechanics, and constant speculation about which teams are eyeing whom, it can be a lot to take in. Thankfully, draft coverage is practically its own industry. The NFL reigns supreme in American sports, and that means there’s no shortage of expert analysis, tools, and resources widely available online.
SEE ALSO: How much would it really cost to watch every NFL game on TV?We’ve rounded up a few to help you navigate it all.
NFL mock draftsEveryone and their second cousin has a mock draft these days, so knowing where to start can be overwhelming. But my personal favorite resource is The Ringer's NFL Draft Guide, for a few reasons. First, I listen to their NFL podcasts and trust their coverage. Second, the guide is comprehensive. They have four different mock drafts from four of their experts (Danny Kelly, Diante Lee, Danny Heifetz, and Todd McShay), a big board, and a team need guide. And, finally, the Ringer's NFL Draft page is wildly easy to use. It's simple to navigate and allows you to dive deeper into every pick or player.
You can also find mock drafts at ESPN, CBS, Yahoo, or pretty much anywhere else online.

If you want to try your hand at a mock draft or a draft simulator, you can do that, too. ESPN has a simulator tool that'll let you play out the dream of being your favorite team's GM — so you watch the other teams pick and then make your selections for one franchise.
If you want to control every team — aka make your own mock draft — you can do so at NFL Mock Draft Database, which also has a comprehensive list of expert mock drafts.
What's one more mock draft for the road, eh?

Let me be clear: There are so, so, so many draft experts, and there is no way I know them all. But I do consider myself a bit of an NFL draft sicko and, thus, have my favorites. So here is a quick list, with their social media account linked, of some of my favorite follows for NFL Draft content:

The draft's first round is scheduled to begin on Thursday at 8 p.m. ET, broadcast on ABC, ESPN, and the NFL Network. It seems certain that Miami QB Cam Ward will go first overall to the Tennessee Titans. After that, who knows? But at least now you'll be informed and prepared.
Google is currently in the midst of a major antitrust trial (make that two antitrust trials, actually), which may result in the company being forced to sell off its popular web browser, Google Chrome. However, the search giant made a major, unrelated Chrome announcement earlier this week:
Google is abandoning its plans to drop third-party cookies from Chrome.
Back in January 2020, Google made a big announcement that was welcomed by privacy advocates. The company said it planned to completely eliminate third-party cookies within its Chrome web browser over the next two years. Now, more than five years later, those plans have been scrapped entirely. Last year, Google hinted it might keep the cookies but make it easier for users to opt out, but now the company has even backtracked from this middle ground option.
"We’ve made the decision to maintain our current approach to offering users third-party cookie choice in Chrome, and will not be rolling out a new standalone prompt for third-party cookies," wrote Google Privacy Sandbox VP Anthony Chavez in a blog post on Tuesday. "Users can continue to choose the best option for themselves in Chrome’s Privacy and Security Settings."
The verdict is clear: third-party cookies are here to stay for most Chrome users.
What is an internet cookie?An internet cookie is basically a small file that is saved to your computer when you visit a website. Cookies store relevant user information in order to enhance a users' experience. When a website remembers your login details or an e-commerce store already has your last shopping cart saved, that's thanks to the cookie stored in your web browser.
Third-party cookies, however, are internet cookies that share this user data with a party separate from the website the user is actually visiting. Third-party cookies are commonly used by advertisers. For example, when a user searches for a product online and then finds ads for that product on Instagram, that's due to a third-party cookie.
"Third-party cookies allow companies to build detailed profiles of your online activities, which can be used for targeted advertising or sold to the highest bidder," digital rights group Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) explained in a post last year. "The consequences are far-reaching and deeply concerning. Your browsing history can reveal sensitive information, including your financial status, sexual orientation, and medical conditions. Data brokers collect and sell this information without your knowledge or consent."
Google already signaled it was heading in this direction in 2024. The company said that it would find a middle ground in its internet cookie strategy so as to avoid disrupting third-party advertising. And don't forget that Google itself is a massive advertising technology company. Too big, in fact, a judge recently ruled.
Back in 2024, Google said it would provide new features that would provide users with more transparency and the ability to make informed opt-out choices about third-party cookies.
Now, Google has scrapped those plans and will keep third-party cookies without any changes.
How does this affect the rest of the web?Web browsers like Mozilla's Firefox and Apple's Safari already block third-party cookies by default, so Google Chrome would have just been playing catch-up. However, Chrome makes up a whopping 66 percent of the global web browser market share, so most internet users are still exposed to third-party cookies thanks to Google.
Previously, Google set up its Privacy Sandbox initiative specifically to offer alternative solutions to third-party cookies for developers and online advertisers. However, even this was met with criticism, as Google would continue to track users in Chrome for its own advertising purposes. (Just this week, Google was found to be "engaged in a series of anticompetitive acts" with its ad products.)
Google's decision to reverse course on third-party cookies will likely be welcomed by online advertising companies, though some have already been looking for alternatives.
"While we expect to see marketers continue to rely on third-party cookies indefinitely for reach, we also expect an increased emphasis on tools that can incorporate the third-party cookie alongside newer destinations and experiences," said Travis Clinger of data platform LiveRamp in a statement to Mashable. “Consumer preferences for privacy and personalization, and marketers’ demand for better performance, have already lessened the popularity of third-party cookies."
But Google clearly heard enough support for third-party cookies from the digital ad industry to change its mind.
"As we’ve engaged with the ecosystem, including publishers, developers, regulators, and the ads industry, it remains clear that there are divergent perspectives on making changes that could impact the availability of third-party cookies," Chavez said in the post announcing the decision.
So, it seems third-party cookies are here to stay in Google Chrome. That is, unless the judge in Google's antitrust trial decides Google must sell off Chrome. Then, a new potential owner (like, say, ChatGPT-maker OpenAI) could follow Firefox and Safari's lead and rid Chrome of third-party cookies once and for all.
You've heard of AI models taking the bar exam, but this time, AI also helped write the questions.
The State Bar of California revealed on Monday that it used AI to develop a portion of its exam questions, according to the LA Times. The AI-generated exam questions were created by an independent psychometrician called ACS Ventures hired by the State Bar. The questions were "developed with the assistance of AI and subsequently reviewed by content validation panels and a subject matter expert in advance of the exam," announced the State Bar in a statement addressing technical glitches and question errors that test takers had previously complained about.
The LA Times reported that 23 out of the 171 multiple choice questions were made by ACS Ventures. The majority of the multiple choice questions were developed by Kaplan, and a "small subset" were taken from the First-Year Law Students' Exam. This past year, the bar was offered remotely to California-based test takers. Students and educators alike were already outraged about the remote test platform crashing and being riddled with bugs. But now, the discovery that some of the exam questions were created with AI has further fueled that outrage.
"I'm almost speechless. Having the questions drafted by non-lawyers using artificial intelligence is just unbelievable," Mary Basick, assistant dean of academic skills at UC Irvine School of Law told the Times. "It's a staggering admission," Katie Moran, an associate professor at the University of San Francisco School of Law told the outlet.
Moran also pointed out the fact that ACS Ventures, the firm used to craft the AI questions, was the same firm to approve the questions.
Alex Chan, who chairs the State Bar's Committee of Bar Examiners, told the outlet that the California Supreme Court had pressured the State Bar to look into "new technologies, such as artificial intelligence" as a means of improving reliability or cost-efficiency.
Automating tasks with AI has surged since the rise of generative AI — and not just simple tasks or low-stakes work, but critical work that has very real consequences. Some suspect that the formula used to calculate the Trump Administration's tariff rates was created by ChatGPT or something similar. In 2023, two New York lawyers were sanctioned for using ChatGPT in a legal brief, which cited fake cases. And academic journals are flooded with papers that include AI-generated text.
And those are just a few examples of the ones that got caught. Generative AI's ability to rapidly write, summarize, and source information has been an irresistible way for workers to save time and effort. But it has innate hallucination problems and poses ethical issues by outsourcing work to a bot — especially when it comes to law students whose entire career rests on passing the bar.
A generic cops-and-drug-dealers saga infused with occasional chaos, Gareth Evans' Havoc is a decent time, despite its plateauing excess. The long-delayed Tom Hardy vehicle — it completed production in 2021 — has just enough by way of visual panache to set it apart from the usual crop of forgettable, straight-to-streaming action.
With a story that's nothing to write home about, Evans relies on the action chops he brought to modern Indonesian martial arts classics The Raid and its sequel, The Raid 2: Berandal. However, he does so without even the semblance of soul that made those movies tick. At the center of Havoc is Tom Hardy's Walker, a gruff, grunting, down-on-his-luck American lunk — a delightful stock type in which the English actor specializes — an outcast cop in the pocket of a crooked politician.
The film gestures towards an inner life we never really see, rendering Walker a physical presence first and foremost. Then again, given how Hardy zigzags between a sad-sack lowlife and a Terminator-esque destroyer at the drop of a hat, the resultant performance is often delightful, despite containing little depth. It's also just functional enough to support the movie's sudden bursts of energy during its action set pieces — the thing Evans is best known for, and the element of Havoc that makes it watchable.
What is Havoc about? Credit: NetflixUsing introductory voiceover from Hardy's Walker, Havoc attempts to frame itself as a film about choices and their consequences, albeit without elaborating on what the hell he's talking about. Walker is a homicide detective who once worked a drug beat, and he's now on the outs with his former squadmates, led by Timothy Olyphant's no-nonsense Vincent. Flashes of Walker's past clue us in on the fact that… something happened, and the brief image of a bloodied hoodlum hints that this “something” was violent in nature. However, the details and ripple effects of this incident don't come to light until well into the movie's 105-minute runtime.
Thankfully, this vague character introduction is swiftly interrupted by a high-octane truck chase in the dead of night, during which Vincent and his crew try to hunt down a troupe of drug dealers. The who's-who is, once again, only clarified in retrospect — a running theme throughout Havoc, making it hard to get invested — but it features a surprising amount of blood and violence for a straightforward car chase. If you've ever wondered what a washing machine could do to a human torso, well, wonder no more.
This high-speed pursuit dovetails into a larger inciting incident, when the absconding hoodlums — young couple Charlie (Justin Cornwell) and Mia (Quelin Sepulveda) — escape just in time to rendezvous with their Chinese Triad boss. However, a shootout ensues, leaving Charlie and Mia's employer dead, and sending the duo on the run as prime suspects.
It just so happens that Charlie is connected to a powerful mayoral candidate, Lawrence Beaumont (Forest Whitaker), who has some mysterious leverage over Walker and puts him to work to solve the case — extra-legally, if necessary — causing Walker to seek the help of his straight-laced, rookie partner Ellie (Jessie Mei Li). Meanwhile, the aforementioned Triad Boss is laid to rest by his fearsome mother (Yeo Yann Yann) who flies in from China to cause chaos of her own. Her presence is commanding, though it's also meant to introduce subtext about difficult parenthood that never really goes anywhere. Walker is a careless father who leaves his Christmas shopping too late, but beyond a fleeting mention of his daughter, we're never really made privy to his family life. Similarly, Beaumont's status as a father is brought up numerous times as well, though none of these nominal connections yields anything resembling a thematic undercurrent.
If it sounds like these numerous spinning plates add up to a Hollywood crime drama pastiche, that may not be an accident. For better or worse, Havoc doesn't feel overly concerned with replicating reality as it truly exists. Rather, it unfolds within a specific and often stylized cinematic reality that features familiar genre hallmarks, forming a solid enough foundation for the action to ensue.
Where exactly does Havoc take place? Credit: NetflixFrom a distance, you'd be forgiven if you confused Havoc with a parody of a Hollywood procedural. The film was largely shot in Evans' native Wales, and features a number of British actors (starting with co-leads Li and Hardy) playing American cops with flimsy American accents. Then again, there's a lack of specificity as to where the movie is actually set.
It unfolds in what appears to be an archetypal American city — not unlike Batman's fictitious Gotham — where crime and law enforcement roam the streets in equal measure, and everyone talks like they've watched one too many gangster pictures from the 1940s. Hardy's usually unplaceable American accent is an oddly perfect fit for a story seemingly set in Generica. However, a major downside is that no one really has a sense of identity, or a relationship to the spaces around them. They enter scenes as if walking onto a set. They speak their lines, and exeunt.
However, this fictional metropolis is rendered in eye-popping style, despite its rote and familiar façade. It may be a stereotype of an American city, just real enough to be convincing, but Evans and cinematographer Matt Flannery render its shapes and shades akin to a toned-down Sin City. Much of the film unfolds in the dead of night, with dark surfaces interrupted by bright light sources that are visible, but which barely seem to illuminate anything but the characters themselves.
The constant downpour of rain enhances the movie's grainy texture, making it a treat to look at, even though it's a movie you can seldom connect with. This visual tapestry also helps enhance the action choreography, not only by disguising its contours but by giving it the feel of a moving comic book.
The action in Havoc works, even if little else does. Credit: NetflixHavoc is not The Raid, nor is trying to be, so viewers shouldn't go in expecting lengthy hand-to-hand fight scenes. Instead, it's a film of comical gunfire (even pistols have the infinite rat-tat-tat of submachine guns), copious blood squibs, and broken bones.
Rather than the dance-like choreography of The Raid, when Havoc does switch into action mode — albeit far too rarely — the fights often involve people wailing on each other, throwing things at each other, and turning enemies into Swiss cheese using endless streams of bullets. Evans knows exactly when to (and when not to) cut away, so each lengthy action scene is meticulously carved and has a rhythmic flow. The camera charges in and out to capture lumbering bodies in motion and vehicles about to crash into one another. It's incredibly fun when it decides to be.
Unfortunately, it's also a film with little sense of escalation. Once you've seen a handful of its action beats unfold, you may as well have seen them all. Not every genre movie needs to be inventive, but Havoc rarely feels born of the same cinematic mischief that gave us the jaw-dropping adrenaline spikes of The Raid and The Raid 2, films that started at an 11 and skyrocketed from there. In Havoc, the explosive initial truck chase has the same energy as each subsequent, long-take fistfight. There’s a lack of stylistic evolution, of rising physical and emotional stakes, and of increasingly testing endurance thresholds — both the characters' and the audiences' — leading to a repetitive feeling, despite no two scenes being alike.
If some of the movie is purposefully generic, other parts are less intentionally so. This ensures that Havoc ends up in an experiential no-man's-land, where Hardy is the biggest reason to watch the movie, but even he feels short-changed by the material.

We know this because folks online have noticed you can ask Google about any faux idiom — any random, nonsense saying you make up — and Google AI Overviews will often prescribe its meaning. That's not exactly surprising, as AI has shown a penchant for either hallucinating or inventing stuff in an effort to provide answers with insufficient data.
In the case of made-up idioms, it's kind of funny to see how Google's AI responds to idiotic sayings like "You can't lick a badger twice." On X, SEO expert Lily Ray dubbed the phenomenon "AI-splaining."
Someone on Threads noticed you can type any random sentence into Google, then add “meaning” afterwards, and you’ll get an AI explanation of a famous idiom or phrase you just made up. Here is mine

I tested the "make up an idiom" trend, too. One phrase — "don't give me homemade ketchup and tell me it's the good stuff" — got the response "AI Overview is not available for this search." However, my next made up phrase — "you can't shake hands with an old bear" — got a response. Apparently Google's AI thinks this phrase suggests the "old bear" is an untrustworthy person.
Credit: Screenshot: GoogleIn this instance, Google AI Overview's penchant for making stuff up is kind of funny. In other instances — say, getting the NFL's overtime rules wrong — it can be relatively harmless. And when it first launched, it was telling folks to eat rocks and put glue on pizza. Other examples of AI hallucinations are less amusing. Keep in mind that Google warns users that AI Overviews can get facts wrong, though it remains at the top of many search results.
So, as the old, time-honored idiom goes: Be wary of search with AI, what you see may be a lie.

If you want to get the most out of it, you might want to secure a camera to use with it. This new feature lets up to 12 people join group chats while gaming with video features that you can use while playing and even streaming to your buddies.
It's facilitated by the official Nintendo Switch 2 Camera, which you'll have to buy separately if you want to use it. But if you want something a little more fun, there's another option: the officially licensed Hori Nintendo Switch 2 Piranha Plant Camera.
As of April 24, you can preorder the Hori Nintendo Switch 2 Piranha Plant Camera for $59.99 at Target. It's also available at Best Buy right now, but it's out of stock at Walmart. It's $5 more than you'd spend on the Nintendo Switch 2 Camera, so keep that in mind when budgeting for your Switch 2 setup.
This camera connects to your Switch 2 via USB and is compatible with TV mode, portable mode, and tabletop mode. It lets you video chat with friends or use the other camera-based features in the Switch 2 games coming to the system. Like the official Nintendo Switch 2 Camera, just plug it in and place it wherever you get the best angle. It's a bit larger than the Switch 2 Camera, but hey, it's also a Piranha Plant.
If you plan on using it with Switch 2's GameChat feature, you'll need to make sure you have a Nintendo Switch Online membership. That's available as two different tiers: individuals can pay $19.99 per year for basic service, while the Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack costs $49.99 a year. For family memberships, the basic tier costs $34.99, while the NSO + Expansion Pack option is $79.99.
There's more to the Switch 2's GameChat feature than just talking in-game and across games, though. Several games offer unique functionality with the camera, including Mario Kart World and Super Mario Party Jamboree + Jamboree TV. And those are just to start, likely with several more games on the way with camera-based features.
If you're interested in getting the most out of GameChat (and your Switch 2), this is a fun addition to your Switch 2 (if you managed to get one). You don't have to splurge with the extra $5, but hey, it's a Piranha Plant.
President Donald Trump signed a new executive order on Wednesday aimed at fostering AI education in K-12 schools and preparing students for an increasingly AI-centric workforce.
The new directive's overarching goal is to "ensure the United States remains a global leader in this technological revolution," according to the press release. The policy seeks to "promote AI literacy and proficiency of K-12 students" while also training educators so they can integrate AI education into their curriculums.
The move could be a response to recent developments in China. In March, the Beijing Municipal Education Commission announced that it would be making AI lessons mandatory for primary and secondary school students. Starting in September, Chinese students will be required to take eight hours of AI classes a year. And last week, Reuters reported that China's education ministry's plans to "integrate artificial intelligence (AI) applications into teaching efforts, textbooks and the school curriculum."
The president's executive order establishes an Artificial Intelligence Education Task Force comprising members of various federal agencies, including the secretaries of Agriculture, Labor, Energy, Education, the Director of the National Science Foundation, and the Special Advisor for AI & Crypto.
China's rapid advancements in AI have threatened the previously comfortable position of the U.S. at the top of the AI industry, largely due to the introduction of DeepSeek. The Chinese company produced an AI model with capabilities comparable to OpenAI's reasoning models, and reportedly trained its R1 model for a fraction of the cost. DeepSeek rattled U.S. tech stocks and prompted President Trump to say at the time, "the release of DeepSeek, AI from a Chinese company should be a wake-up call for our industries that we need to be laser-focused on competing to win."
The executive order is broken down into four buckets: prioritizing the AI education of students, providing AI professional development for educators, growing and developing "AI-related Registered Apprenticeships" for relevant occupations and industries, and a "Presidential Artificial Intelligence Challenge."
The Challenge will highlight "student and educator achievements in AI" from a variety of age groups and across geographic regions. Keep an eye out for that within the next 90 days, as the executive order mandates.
After five seasons, Joe Goldberg's run of mayhem, murder, and much problematic romancing has come to an end. Star/producer Penn Badgley warned that Season 5 of their hit show, based on Caroline Kepnes' psychological thriller book series, would be the big finale. And with ten episodes full of kinky sex, twisted turns, and more homicides than a Law and Order episode, You delivers with a shocking and largely satisfying final chapter.
For a series as truly winding as You, a finale that'll sate all fans was surely impossible. But props to showrunner Sera Gamble, who kept all the plates spinning in a season that included a Succession-like business plotline, Anna Camp as deliciously devious twins, a new lit-obsessed love interest for Joe to drool over, and lots and lots of ties to his past crimes, sparking the return of familiar faces (along with some who've been recast or downright forgotten).
However, with that final monologue, Joe delivers one last crushing blow to fans who've stuck by him since Season 1. So let's get into it.
What happens to Bronte in You Season 5's finale? Penn Badgley and Madeline Brewer in "You." Credit: NetflixEarly on in the season, it looked like Bronte (aka Louise) was going to be doomed to go the way of her old pal Beck (Elizabeth Lail) — meaning death by Joe. Not only had a series of very smart women fatally fallen for Joe's white knight schtick before, but also Bronte's erotica about wanting to "drown" in her partner seemed like it could be foreshadowing, especially when they arrive at a lake house (emphasis on lake).
And for a moment, it does seem like the bottom of that lake is precisely where the series is going to leave her. But like Jason Voorhees, she dramatically resurfaces and gets her revenge. Not just by shooting Joe as cops swarm closer, but by shooting him in the genitals, an arguably poetic justice for the man led by his libido into a series of homicides.
Bronte uses Joe's book-centered confession to get a new version of Beck's book published, without Joe's additions. "It was more praised, more cutting, more imperfect." To Bronte, this is part of getting justice for Beck. Now, she can move on. "Eventually, he'll just be some asshole I dated," she says.
Meanwhile, Bronte's friends, Dom and Phoenix, take their online sleuthing victory to podcast appearances, advocating for justice and community outreach to tackle cold cases. (Though, while we're talking about the finale, it seems a missed opportunity for You to reconnect Bronte with her friends, whom she repeatedly said was her family! Those hers is a happy ending, it feels like a dropped thread that she never reconnects with Dom and Phoenix.)
What is Joe Goldberg ultimately convicted of? Penn Badgley in "You." Credit: NetflixAfter crotch-shooting Joel, Bronte takes over his voiceover to lead the epilogue. Elton John's "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road" plays as a handcuffed Joe is led by police through a courthouse to his "messy" trial for the murders of Beck and his first wife, Love (Victoria Pedretti).
In this sequence, we learn Joe is convicted of murdering both Beck and Love. First-degree murder convictions would also follow for Beck's boyfriend, Benjamin Ashby III (Lou Taylor Pucci), and her bestie, Peach Salinger (Shay Mitchell). That all leads to Dr. Nicky's (John Stamos) false conviction for Beck's murder being vacated.
In a voiceover, Bronte says, "One thing's clear: Joe Goldberg will never be free again."
Does Kate Lockwood die in You? Charlotte Ritchie as Kate Lockwood in "You." Credit: Clifton Prescod / NetflixAt first, it certainly seems likely! After grappling over a gun with Joe, she's left shot and unconscious in the basement of Mooney's bookstore, which is on fire thanks to Maddie's impulsive thinking. While Bronte gets Joe out of the burning bookstore, Kate's fate is left up in the air. Even when Joe calls his son Henry on the phone, all that's known is that Joe did something bad to Kate — but her death is not confirmed.
This epilogue reveals that Kate did not die, escaping with burn scars on her arm that she sees as "badges" of penance. She's handed the company over to her half-brother, Teddy (Griffin Matthews), who has turned the Lockwood Corporation from a villainous greed machine into 100% nonprofit. Turns out Kate was not all talk. She surrendered a big chunk of her power, realizing Teddy could do better things with it.
As for Kate, she's focusing on raising Henry, and she's returned to her Season 4 passion for art by backing Marienne Bellamy (Tati Gabrielle), the painter whom Joe fell for in Season 3 and was assumed to have killed in Season 4! Marienne is not only alive, but she — and her 14-year-old daughter — seem to be thriving.
What happens to Nadia in You? Brad Alexander as Edward and Amy-Leigh Hickman as Nadia Farran in "You." Credit: NetflixAs a student of Joe's when he was teaching English Lit under a false identity in Season 4, Nadia (Amy-Leigh Hickman) was framed for killing Edward (Brad Alexander), who was framed by Joe as being the Eat The Rich Killer (who was actually Joe operating with a split personality). Season 5 doesn't get into all of that, focusing instead on Kate owning up to Nadia about her part in the student's unearned downfall.
Kate gets Nadia out of prison and her name is cleared, basically with a shrug of "money makes the world go 'round." Once freed, Nadia conspires with Kate to bring Joe down. She also is partially blamed for Kate being shot, since she brought a gun to Mooney's. But on the other hand, they were going to trap a killer. It's wild more people aren't armed when they confront Joe!
While their plan went tits up, Nadia has found some peace in the epilogue. Bronte tells us through voiceover that Nadia "returned to writing and teaching." What's shown is Nadia walking into what seems to be a prison's cafeteria, carrying books for an assembled group of women. She's giving back by embracing her passion and her past to create a better future.
What happens to Maddie and Harrison on You? Anna Camp as Reagan Lockwood, Pete Ploszek as Harrison, and Anna Camp as Maddie Lockwood in "You." Credit: NetflixThese self-proclaimed "piece(s) of shit" find their happy ending. Yes, Maddie murdered her twin Reagan (while under intense pressure from Joe). Yes, Harrison agreed to cover it up so he might embrace the twin he was cheating on his late wife with. But if we've learned nothing else about the Lockwoods, it's that money lets them get away with a lot, including murder and "arson." (Real talk: It should have been attempted murder as she was trying to kill Joe in the fire and nearly killed Kate!)
Anyhow, Bronte tells us Maddie "went to rehab for her pill addiction," and now is not only raising the daughter she birthed for Reagan as a surrogate, but is also pregnant by Harrison. And in a bit of seemingly happy symmetry, they're expecting twins. These two could inspire a lot of trashy true crime shows. But in a show where plenty of good and bad people get taken down by Joe, there's something incongruently wholesome in seeing them frolic in Central Park as a happy family. That's something Reagan could never have accomplished.
What happens to Joe in You's finale? Penn Badgley as Joe Goldberg in "You." Credit: Clifton Prescod / NetflixAfter trying to flee the country, Joe is caught thanks to Bronte's risky plan to get him to confess to Beck's murder. Ultimately, he is comically wounded, both by a gun and then by the internet that relished mocking his physical wound. (Imagine Joe doomscrolling to find Cardi B tweeting, "He WAS a 10 now he's a 2…inches #JoeGoldberg.")
Locked up in a prison cell, Joe is far from the world, where the women he loved and tortured are alive and thriving. The Elton John track is cut off so that only the echo-y ambient sound of the prison surrounds Joe. The vibrant color palette of Bronte's voiceover sequence is left behind for a murky, suffocating green-gray, enhancing the bleakness of the setting. In his cell, he has been robbed of his classically good haircut. But he has plenty of time to read, as he's shown with a copy of Norman Mailer's The Executioner's Song.
This Pulitzer Prize–winning true crime novel ignited a national debate about capital punishment when its subject, convicted killer Gary Gilmore, chose to be executed by firing squad. Could it be Joe — who begged Bronte to fatally shoot him before the cops could catch him — sees a bit of himself in Gilmore? That's a mystery You leaves for us to figure out.
The other reading materials Joe has in lock-up are letters from lovelorn fans. Reflecting the response to You, fans of Joe relish the illicit thrills of lusting after a madman who would kill for you. While Joe fed into this fantasy as he wrote his own vampire smut to please himself and Bronte, now he's critical of such fandom. (Notably, this reflects Badgley's real-life response to women who crush on Joe on social media, as he responded on then-Twitter to thirst tweets.)
What does Joe's final speech mean? Charlotte Ritchie as Kate Lockwood, Penn Badgley as Joe Goldberg, and Frankie Demaio as Henry Goldberg in "You." Credit: Clifton Prescod/NetflixThe final moments of You are wickedly clever. For one thing, Joe was never going to let any of his lovers have the final word, be it Beck's book or Bronte's narration. Yet in this final moment, his voiceover doesn't rush in. Instead, episode 10 allows us to soak in the silence of Joe's cell. Perhaps this is a reminder that while the audience could hear his inner monologue across all five seasons of events, he always remained eerily quiet as he stalked, stared, socialized, and serial killed. (Props to Kate's siblings for calling this creepiness out early on in the season!)
When he does speak, he is self-pitying, proclaiming, "My punishment is even worse than I imagined." He is lonely and "knowing this is forever." He opines, "It's unfair, putting all of this on me. Aren't we all just products of our environment? Hurt people hurt people. I never stood a chance."
Joe leans on cliches to push away the blame for his body count, meaning the actual amount of corpses he caused and not the number of people he's bedded. But then a fan letter arrives, and he finds someone else to blame: us.
In voiceover, he pronounces it's unjust that he's "in a cage" while these "crazies" write to him about their sexual fantasies, where violence and lust collide. Now, "Creep (Very 2021 Rmx)" by Thom Yorke begins to play in the background as Joe looks at the letter.
"Maybe we have a problem as a society," he muses. "Maybe we should fix what's broken in us. Maybe the problem isn't me." Behind his voiced inner thoughts, Yorke's electronically distorted voice squalls, "You're so very special." Then, Joe concludes, looking right into camera, "Maybe it's you."
Yorke sings, "I'm a creep," and the episode cuts to credits. So, what does it mean?
Since its start, You tapped into two genres that appeal distinctly to women: true crime and romance. The grim reality of the worst that can happen to our bodies collides with the steamy fantasies of the best that might.
As dreamed up by Kepnes, Joe is the monkey's paw version of a dream man. He is absolutely obsessed with his love interest, devoted to knowing her intimately and protecting her fiercely. But there is a dark side to such obsession, as Joe's entire identity and happiness depends on being loved back just that intensely. He — like real-world abusers — aims to isolate his girlfriends (and wives) by killing off those who might come between them. Endlessly, he'd argue that he was not the problem, because his motives are purely love. And this season, that evolves into demanding that his lover accept him warts and all — warts meaning killing people and liking it.
As a fiction, Joe's story is compelling precisely because it's repulsive and alluring. It's an enticing taboo to lust after a fictional villain, be he Joe Goldberg, Loki, or Draco Malfoy. However, there are many incidents in the real world of women swooning over actual serial killers. So, maybe Joe has a point when he argues there's something "broken in us," perhaps not being able to separate fantasy from reality. But isn't that the way he operates?
He's a master manipulator who can find that hook to lure you into his perspective, and next thing you know, you're making excuses for his volatility or possessiveness. You're helping him frame someone for murder, then marrying him to protect him from retaliation. You're ditching your crime-solving friends to curl up in his bed. It's a slippery slope listening to Joe Goldberg, who in the end blames his crimes — and by extension the very existence and popularity of this series — on you, the viewer. Our obsession is what allowed his to go on and on and on. Are we complicit?
In the end, Joe may be trapped in his cage. But these letters suggest his reach continues. More than that, his last look right into the camera, right at us, his audience, demands we reflect upon ourselves. Why are we watching You? Who are we rooting for? Not just in the show, but in the many real-world crimes and issues it reflects.
Joe may be gone. But with his final word, he assures us that he'll linger in our minds (and darkest fantasies) for years to come.

The Nintendo Switch 2 is officially up for preorder. Whether you were able to snag one of your own through all the website errors, sold out notifications, and canceled preorder emails at midnight on April 24 or you're waiting until later, you'll need something to play when you get yours. Or at least something to get you through your first week with the system.
While you can play most of your old Nintendo Switch games on your new system, you're likely going to want some new releases to enjoy too. Lucky for you, there are several options available right now that you can pick up ahead of the console's debut on June 5.
Below, you can find all of the Nintendo Switch 2 games currently up for preorder.
Where to preorder Nintendo Switch 2 gamesMost retailers are offering Nintendo Switch 2 games for preorder, so your first stop for picking up a new title is one of these retailers. Below, find links to each online storefront where you can shop a repository of Switch 2 games available right now.
While some games will be available to pick up on June 5 alongside your new Switch 2, some are not debuting with the system itself. However, you can still preorder the console and then grab the titles you're interested in after its launch later. Given the state of the Switch 2's preorder chaos, it's a good idea to snag the games you want sooner than later so you can make sure you get what you want.

While it's available as part of a Nintendo Switch 2 bundle, it's also available on its own if you missed out preordering the system with it.
Donkey Kong Bananza Opens in a new window Credit: Target Donkey Kong Bananza $69.99 at TargetDonkey Kong is back in an all-new adventure. It's your job to help him swing through the Underground World as he smashes his way through, collecting bananas along the way. It's full of destructible environments, with almost everything able to be destroyed, making this a less linear platformer with multiple paths and hidden items to find sprinkled throughout. This isn't a launch title for the Switch 2, but it'll be available soon after the system debuts.
The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom (Switch 2 Edition) Opens in a new window Credit: Target The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom (Switch 2 Edition) $79.99 at TargetThe sequel to The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild returns with a new version created especially for the Switch 2.

It also adds the new Zelda Notes app, which offers voice-assisted navigation via GPS from Princess Zelda herself, as well as the ability to create and share creations with QR codes.
Other Nintendo Switch 2 games available for preorder nowNintendo Switch 2 preorders went up on Thursday at midnight, and rather predictably, every retailer website subsequently exploded. Now, GameSop is down as well.
While most retailers put preorders live at midnight, GameStop waited until 11 a.m. ET on Thursday, at which point their website promptly crashed.
Last night, the Switch 2 preorder feeding frenzy led to widespread problems with the web infrastructure for major retail chains, as first spotted by The New York Post. All one has to do is look at the Down Detector pages for Walmart, Best Buy, and Target to see that each of those retailers had significant problems around midnight, which led to some users having trouble securing their Switch 2s. (Disclosure: Ziff Davis owns both Mashable and Down Detector.)
SEE ALSO: How to track Switch 2 preorder availability in case it sells outWalmart users were sent into a digital queue that worked for some and never ended for others, while Target gave users error screens throughout the process, per IGN. Best Buy's preorders went live half an hour later than they should have, with some users reporting errors on that end, too.
So, how do you get your preorder in while supplies are still available?
If you didn't manage to snag one last night and GameStop doesn't work out for you, you still have options. I recommend monitoring restock alerts on social media, but you can also preorder directly through Nintendo starting on May 8...if you're a true enough gamer. So many hoops to jump through just for a chance to play Mario Kart World.
PREORDERS ARE LIVE: Hurry to reserve your Nintendo Switch 2 from GameStop for $449.99. The console comes with a June 5 release date, and GameStop is offering an attractive trade-in deal.
Opens in a new window Credit: Nintendo Nintendo Switch 2 $449.99 at GameStopAmid the chaos of tariffs and price fluctuations, we finally have some clarity. The Nintendo Switch 2 will launch on June 5 and preorders went live this morning. If you're hoping to reserve a console to keep you busy for the summer and beyond, here's how to preorder at GameStop.
As of April 24 at 11 a.m., GameStop preorders for the Nintendo Switch 2 are live. The console sells for $449.99 or you can go with the Nintendo Switch 2 with Mario Kart World bundle for $499.99. GameStop is offering a trade-in credit of up to $175 toward a new Nintendo Switch 2 through April 30. Trade-in a Switch OLED to get the maximum credit or hand over your old Switch V1 or V2 to get up to $125 in credit.
After waiting patiently, today is the day we finally get to preorder the Nintendo Switch 2. Orders went live at Target and Best Buy at midnight, and those are currently sold out. If you're hoping to grab a preorder at GameStop, it's best to get on that ASAP.
SEE ALSO: Nintendo Switch 2 hands-on: 3 things that make it a must-buyOf course, we're all quietly sobbing about the price of the new Nintendo Switch 2, but you can dry some of those tears if you're in the mood to trade in your old(er) Switch. GameStop leads the way as offering the best trade-in offers, but you'll need to get that done before the April 30 deadline. By comparison, Best Buy will take a Switch OLED in exchange for $90 of credit and a skimpy $20 for a regular Switch. Keep in mind the best trade in results come from offering up a console in good condition will all components like the dock, HDMI cable, and both Joy-Cons.
Your new Nintendo Switch 2 will come with all the accessories needed to have a summer of gaming like Joy-Con Grips, the dock, and an Ultra High-Speed HDMI cable.
If you preorder today with GameStop, you won't have to wait around for the device to ship on June 5 with a delivery date some days after that. GameStop has said all stores will open at 12 a.m. ET on June 5 for pre-order pickups. That means if you live on the West Coast, you'll be able to grab your console at 9 p.m. PT June 4.
Get those clicks in quickly because preorders for the Nintendo Switch 2 are now live at GameStop, and they're likely to sell out quickly. You'll want to grab your new console here if you're trading in an older console since GameStop has the best trade-in value, by far.
