One Battle After Another trailer: Leonardo DiCaprio and Paul Thomas Anderson team up for a wacky tale of revolution

Mashable - Thu, 03/27/2025 - 16:02

Leonardo DiCaprio is on a quest to save his daughter in the trailer for One Battle After Another, directed by Paul Thomas Anderson (Licorice Pizza).

Inspired by Thomas Pynchon's novel Vineland, One Battle After Another stars DiCaprio as Bob Ferguson, an ex-revolutionary who's been out of the game for a while. Case in point? His failure to remember a series of (admittedly convoluted) codes.

"Let's just not nitpick over the passwords," he says during the trailer's chaotic opening phone call.

However, as the trailer continues, it becomes understandable that Bob is so frazzled when asked for a password. He's searching for his daughter (Chase Infiniti) in the wake of an attack on his home by an old enemy. Now, he'll have to band together with his fellow former revolutionaries in order to find her.

One Battle After Another also stars Sean Penn, Benicio Del Toro, Regina Hall, and Teyana Taylor.

One Battle After Another hits theaters Sept. 26.

Is Reddit down? Site experiences March 27 outage

Mashable - Thu, 03/27/2025 - 15:59

Reddit ran into some problems on Thursday.

A Reddit outage started roughly between 3 and 4 p.m. ET on Thursday and is currently ongoing at the time of publication. Tens of thousands of users reported the outage on Down Detector (Note: Ziff Davis owns both Mashable and Down Detector), and this reporter can personally confirm the outage. Reddit is not working for me on either a web browser or the mobile app at the time of writing.

The outage occurred around the same time as a similar outage on X, though that one appears to have been fixed already.

Samsung Frame TV at Black Friday pricing, plus dupes on sale during Amazons spring sale

Mashable - Thu, 03/27/2025 - 15:47
A quick look at the best Frame TV and Frame dupes on sale Best Samsung Frame deal Samsung 65-inch The Frame 4K QLED TV (LS03D) $1,297.99 at Walmart (save $700) Get Deal Best Frame dupe deal TCL 75-inch NXTVISION 4K QLED Frame TV (A300W) $1,299.99 at Best Buy (save $500) Get Deal

Of all of the TVs that go on sale during major shopping holidays, Samsung Frame TV deals are consistently heavily sought out — and the big retailers consistently deliver.

The current window to grab a Frame TV on sale is Amazon's Big Spring Sale, where multiple sizes of The Frame are actually back down to Black Friday and Cyber Monday pricing. It's pretty sweet timing for those who've been wanting to get a new TV, but couldn't squeeze it into the budget during the holidays.

SEE ALSO: As a pro robot vacuum reviewer, this is easily my favorite deal from Amazon's spring sale

Even with discounts, though, Frame TVs aren't cheap TVs. But naturally, deals on Frame dupes from TCL and Hisense are also floating around at Amazon as well as Best Buy. Opting for one of these could allow you to go up a screen size or two for the same amount of money as a Frame TV of a certain size. FWIW, more Mashable readers actually opted for the Hisense dupe over the original Frame TV during Cyber Weekend 2024.

The QLED-TV-turned-wall-art-turned-back-to-QLED-TV is an elegant upgrade for any room where a giant slab of technology doesn't exactly blend with the decor. Rather than a glossy screen and a plasticky black outline, the Frame has a matte screen and customizable thin-bezel frames to give the illusion of framed wall art or photos. Rather than merely putting an 8-hour YouTube still of a painting on a regular TV, the Samsung Art Store offers over 2,500 pieces from major museums like The Met and MoMA.

If you're looking to take the wall-mounted route, 65-inch TVs are a sweet spot for most living room walls. The 65-inch Frame TV happens to be one of the sizes back down to its Black Friday price.

The best investment I ever made was this Miele vacuum — and Amazon has it on sale

$469 Save $93.80 Get Deal

When people learn I'm a shopping reporter their first question is always — what should I buy? I could tell them about any of the stellar tech I test daily, from headphones to e-readers, but the first thing that comes to mind, the product I'm most enthusiastic about, is one I bought myself. I love my Miele vacuum. The Miele C1 Turbo Team came into my life last year, and not to be dramatic, but it is the best purchase I ever made.

After struggling with a cordless stick vacuum for a few years, me and my partner were in agreement that we needed a replacement. Sure, it was convenient to not have to deal with cords but its suction was weak and the head was always getting tangled with dust and hair. After months of doing research, perusing r/BuyItForLife, I was finally sold on the Miele vacuum, with many users endorsing its powerful performance and longevity. While I can't testify to the latter, I can say that it's an astounding vacuum.

With a canister design, the Miele boasts insane suction that gets every little thing. In the months I've been using it, we've had no issue with tangled hair in the vacuum head. Plus it comes with a load of attachments to get at upholstery or small crevices. We have a white wool rug in our living room that stands no chance against our household traffic and cat. It sucks up every single bit of debris until our rug looks like it's been professionally cleaned.

While I'd tell you it's worth every penny, even at full price, it's down to its lowest price this year. During Amazon's Big Spring Sale, find the Miele C1 Turbo Team vacuum for $375.20, 20% off from its usual $469. That's a nice $93.80 in savings.

If I were to mention any downside to the Miele vacuum is that it's a little old school with bags that need to be replaced, which can get expensive. Luckily, there are some good deals on replacement bags during the spring sale too — see below.

Hurdle hints and answers for March 27, 2025

Mashable - Thu, 03/27/2025 - 14:18

If you like playing daily word games like Wordle, then Hurdle is a great game to add to your routine.

There are five rounds to the game. The first round sees you trying to guess the word, with correct, misplaced, and incorrect letters shown in each guess. If you guess the correct answer, it'll take you to the next hurdle, providing the answer to the last hurdle as your first guess. This can give you several clues or none, depending on the words. For the final hurdle, every correct answer from previous hurdles is shown, with correct and misplaced letters clearly shown.

An important note is that the number of times a letter is highlighted from previous guesses does necessarily indicate the number of times that letter appears in the final hurdle.

If you find yourself stuck at any step of today's Hurdle, don't worry! We have you covered.

How Xbox president Sarah Bond became a major player in gaming

Mashable - Thu, 03/27/2025 - 13:58

Sarah Bond's resume may look unconventional, but the president of Xbox believes she's in exactly the right place.

Bond started as a McKinsey consultant, spent several years at T-Mobile, including as a chief of staff to former CEO John Legere, and joined Xbox in 2017.

A quick summary of her decades-long career doesn't suggest someone who'd eventually lead a major video game brand. But Bond gets the joy and creativity of gaming — and the business of it, too.

She played a key role in Microsoft's 2022 acquisition of video game publisher Activision Blizzard, which was unsuccessfully challenged by government regulators. Bond has also spoken about the importance of making gaming more accessible and winning new customers at a time when industry growth is stagnant.

Her track record is undeniably impressive. Yet it's particularly compelling to consider during Women's History Month, with its invitation to reflect on gender inequality in industries traditionally dominated by men.

A love of gaming begins

Bond started gaming at age 6. She fondly remembers playing the PC-based Kings Quest II alongside her father. Other favorites from childhood and young adulthood included Sonic the Hedgehog and GoldenEye 007.

Now she's the parent playing with her children. Family game night with Bond's husband and their two kids frequently involves Xbox's Minecraft Dungeons.

When Bond arrived at Xbox, a division of Microsoft Gaming, she thought of the company's product as consumer tech. While she still believes that's true, her aperture has widened through years leading teams that build Xbox's platform and bring independent developers to it.

"It's this beautiful mixture of art and science in the creativity...that I find deeply energizing," Bond says of gaming.

SEE ALSO: The end of remote work doesn't work for women A big-picture perspective

Bond, who is Black, clearly belongs in the space. But gaming hasn't always welcomed women and people of color.

The 2015 Gamergate controversy, for example, became a battle over representation in gaming — and ultimately a proxy for broader cultural disagreement over diversity and equality in industries traditionally dominated by white men. That overarching conflict is now the backdrop against which the Trump administration has vowed to eradicate diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives from the government, education, and the private sector.

When Bond joined Xbox in 2017, the head of Xbox Gaming, Phil Spencer, gave her a candid warning about working in gaming. She recalled the moment in a Harvard Business Alumni publication, describing her response thusly: "Phil, my aunt died yesterday. She was a colonel in the Army in the era of segregation. That was hard.”

This big-picture perspective has helped Bond survive — and thrive — in different corporate environments. She says that understanding her ancestors' struggles helps her think of progress holistically.

"It starts for me with the fundamental truth that there is no individual achievement, that we are all a product of the people who made us, invested in us, raised us," Bond told Mashable.

Bond says that just as she's able to do "amazing things" now because of her aunt's modeled determination and she hopes others will find inspiration in her own example.

Bond doesn't subscribe to a philosophy of working until exhaustion. Instead, she practices meditation and mindfulness, taking physical and mental breaks as necessary so that she can perform at a consistently high level.

"This is absolutely me performance optimizing," Bond says. "It's just I figured out sometimes for me to deliver the very best, I've got to stop."

Bond also values risk-taking over perfection. She learned that lesson as a Yale undergraduate, when she memorized the answers to questions she thought would appear on her Spanish exam. She got an "A" in the class, but realized after traveling to Spain that she actually couldn't speak the language proficiently.

The experience taught Bond that memorizing a test or operating within a rigid framework leads to a much different outcome than pushing herself to be at "max learning capacity."

"The way I studied for Spanish was the greatest lesson of my life," Bond says.

At a time when tech is embracing more "masculine energy," in Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg's words, Bond has one piece of advice for girls and women who want to pursue a career in a male-dominated STEM field — find mentors who will hold you to a "high bar of performance."

This, she says, is because some people may decide for girls and women what they can do, or falsely believe they're delicate and treat them differently. She believes girls and women will thrive when they find people who are truthful about their abilities and then give them the feedback they need to achieve their goals.

"[S]eek out the people who are going to do that investment in you, because those people are liquid gold," Bond says.

I bought this power bank for my first trip to Europe — now its 50% off in Amazons Big Spring Sale

Mashable - Thu, 03/27/2025 - 13:53

SAVE $13.05: The Anker Zolo power bank is down to just $12.94 at Amazon in the Big Spring Sale. That's 50% off its usual $25.99 price tag and matches its best price ever. It comes in four different colors, all of which are on sale.

$25.99 Save $13.05 Get Deal

Over the past few years, my travel itinerary has grown exponentially. Between living about 11 hours away from family and dating a touring musician, I'm away almost as much as I'm home. And as any wanderer knows, one of the biggest challenges of constantly being on the go is keeping your phone charged. Whether you're using it for directions, communication, or entertainment, it's a lifeline when traveling.

Next month, I'm heading to Europe for the first time, where I will heavily rely on my phone for navigation. That's why I finally caved and bought a power bank — the Anker Zolo 10,000mAh power bank, to be specific. I'm kind of bummed, though, because now it's on sale for way cheaper.

During Amazon's Big Spring Sale (which runs through March 31), you can grab the Anker Zolo power bank (10,000mAh) for only $12.94 instead of the usual $25.99. That's 50% off and matches its best price ever. Plus, it comes in four different color options — I have the blue and it's a gorgeous pastel shade.

The Zolo power bank features a built-in USB-C cable to juice up newer phones and devices, plus USB-C and USB-A ports to plug in charging cables for other devices. That means for my iPhone 16 Pro, I don't have to worry about searching my luggage for another cable. My favorite thing about it, however, is that it's equipped with 30W two-way fast-charging. In other words: it won't take a million years to bring your device back to life like other power banks. There's also a digital display that clearly shows you the battery percentage at any given time.

It does have a little bit of weight to it, but ultimately, it shouldn't add much bulk to your carry-on. If you're looking for the best power bank for travel, I can't recommend the Zolo enough.

Best Buy Canada says Nintendo Switch 2 preorders will start on April 2

Mashable - Thu, 03/27/2025 - 13:37

Preorders for the Nintendo Switch 2 will begin on April 2, the same day as the forthcoming console's Nintendo Direct livestream, according to a since-deleted post on Best Buy Canada's blog.

"Pre-orders for the Nintendo Switch 2 will open on April 2nd at Best Buy Canada, giving you the chance to secure your console early," reads an archived version of the March 27 post, which linked out to a live page where shoppers could sign up for preorder news alerts (h/t IGN). The post did not mention a price or release date for the Switch 2, nor did it specify what time preorders would start.

The Switch 2 preorder post briefly appeared on Best Buy Canada's blog the morning of Thursday, March 27. Credit: Screenshot via Best Buy Canada / Wayback Machine

Nintendo will will likely confirm these details during next week's Direct; the company hasn't shared any Switch 2 preorder information itself yet. The stream will kick off at 9 a.m. ET/6 a.m. PT on April 2 and air on Nintendo's YouTube channel.

To date, Best Buy hasn't posed any information about U.S. Switch 2 preorders on its regional press site.

SEE ALSO: Switch 2 release date, price and everything else we expect from Nintendo Direct

Nintendo first announced the Switch 2 in mid-January, showcasing a bigger display, an improved kickstand, and some magnetically attached Joy-Con that appear to function like computer mice. The first-look trailer also teased a new Mario Kart game, its first since 2017 (or 2014, if you don't count Mario Kart 8's Deluxe re-release).

Thursday's leak coincided with an unrelated Direct during which Nintendo announced more than a dozen upcoming Switch games, a new mobile app, and a new "Virtual Game Cards" feature that lets Switch owners share games.

My beloved color smart bulbs are on sale for a record-low price during Amazons Big Spring Sale

Mashable - Thu, 03/27/2025 - 12:43

SAVE $7.50: Amazon has a three-pack of WiZ 60W A19 LED Smart Light Bulbs on sale for just $17.49 (normally $24.99) during its Big Spring Sale. Thatt's a 30% savings and their lowest price to date.

I was admittedly very late to the game when it comes to smart home adaptation. It's mostly because I've never loved the idea of my devices listening to me, but also because the benefits never felt worth the extra spend. Buying a new speaker or a bunch of plugs just because they featured app and voice control seemed superfluous. And then I got my orb.

Last Christmas, the Ikea FADO spherical table lamp was at the top of my wish list for a family gift exchange. I needed an alternative to The Big Light in my living room, and the FADO kept popping up in aesthetic home decor videos on my TikTok For You Page. It looked the coziest when it was glowing a warm amber, and I figured creators were achieving that with color-changing smart bulbs. So I added a WiZ A19 Color LED Smart Bulb to my wish list, too: It was rated highly for easy setup, brightness, and a wide range of color options, including dynamic presets. Most importantly, it didn't push me over the $50 gift exchange budget.

SEE ALSO: The best home deals in Amazon's Big Spring Sale

Shoutout to the brother-in-law who drew my name. After setting up my new FADO with the WiZ bulb this past winter, I'm now officially on the smart light bandwagon — nay, I'm driving that thing. Having a colorful light that I can adjust or dim from my phone is the one thing that's made the biggest different in my home decor. Is it superfluous? Probably, yeah. But the vibes in here are too immaculate for me to care anymore.

I've since added another WiZ bulb to a tripod floor lamp in the same room, and I'll probably grab a couple more of them for other lights around the house sometime this week: There's a three-pack marked down to just $17.49 on Amazon during its Big Spring Sale, which runs through Tuesday, March 31. That's 30% off its $24.99 MSRP and an exact match of its all-time low from last Black Friday, according to the Amazon price-tracking site CamelCamelCamel. (You're basically getting three bulbs for less than the price of two: They retail for $10.99 individually.)

Through the end of Target Circle Week on March 29, the Beats Solo Buds are just $49.99 instead of $79.99 in the Target-exclusive arctic purple shade. That's 38% in savings and beats the Amazon Big Spring Sale price by $10.

Like most Beats products, the Solo Buds offer impressive sound quality, with sculpted highs and deep lows. They'll last you up to 18 hours per charge, plus a five-minute Fast Fuel charge gives you an extra hour of playback. Thanks to a handful of included eartips, the Solo Buds also fit snugly and comfortably in most ears. We're kind of bummed that they don't offer noise cancellation or a charging case like most competitors, but the discounted price balances out our list of pros and cons.

At full price, the Beats Solo Buds are the most affordable wireless earbuds in the brand's lineup. At nearly 40% off, they're practically a steal. Grab a pair before Circle Week ends on March 29 to maximize savings.

Looking for a new addition to your home workspace? Short on physical desk space to bring home a new desktop? Apple has a solution with the Mac Mini, its small-but-mighty desktop computer that takes up a tiny footprint. During Amazon's Big Spring Sale, going on now, the explosive powerhouse that is the M4 version is on sale now at its lowest price yet. That means a significant upgrade in a small package.

As of March 27, get the Apple Mac Mini (M4, 16GB RAM, 256GB SSD) for $499, down from its usual price of $599. That's a discount of 17% and its lowest price yet.

This iteration of the Mac Mini features the powerful M4 chip, a 10-core CPU with a 10-core GPU to match, and built to work with Apple Intelligence AI. It has 16GB of RAM so it can perform all the tasks you need simultaneously, great for multitasking your way through the day, as well as 256GB of storage on an unshakeable SSD. Need more space? Use the Thunderbolt ports to add storage.

But one of the greatest draws here is the portability factor. This tiny computer is much smaller than any desktop, and smaller than any laptop at that. So if space is at a premium at home or you need to take your entire setup with you quickly, this is a fantastic option.

You can get a great setup going here with just a monitor, keyboard, and mouse, all for much cheaper than usual thanks to this sale. If you're ready to supercharge your home computer setup, this is an optimal way to do it.
