Google Maps recently launched its biggest upgrade in years, filled to the brim with Gemini-powered features like Ask Maps and immersive, 3D navigation — it can recommend the best parking spots and suggest the top spots to check out while you travel around the world.

But even with all of AI's help, the digital map still lacks in one area: Outdoor navigation.

A group of teenagers hiking Canada's Howe Sound Crest Trail in British Columbia recently found that out the hard way. The group, made up of 17-year-old novice hikers, was evacuated by local search-and-rescue teams after trusting a five-hour walk estimate from Google Maps.

Experienced hikers would have caught the app's mistake and come more prepared than the teens — Howe Sound Crest is an 18-mile hike with a 6,000-foot elevation gain, and is considered a two-day trip for beginners. But the novice hiker, relying solely on the map estimate, may not know its limitations.

Why is Google Maps not recommended for hiking?

On city roads, Google Maps combines live traffic estimates with historic averages, posted speed limits, tolls, and other street data to generate the most accurate travel time for a standard vehicle. With integrations across the transportation landscape, it's fairly accurate. For walking, the process is a little more complex — humans and natural landscapes, obviously, are hard to standardize into an algorithm. The app uses an average human walking speed that might not match your own, and while it will adjust that time based on elevation, it won't account for important things like trail terrain or type.

Satellite imagery and machine learning come in handy for urban areas, but labyrinthine trails cutting through woods and forests are often left out, and an area's topography is usually only shown with basic details and minimalist renderings.

In 2024, competitor Apple Maps launched a new hiking upgrade in iOS 18, providing access to U.S. national park hike information and topographical maps to help plan custom hiking routes. But many seasoned hikers still discourage using mainstream navigation platforms, especially if you're climbing in the mountains or traversing potentially hazardous routes.

What can I use instead of Google or Apple maps?

Instead of Google or Apple, try hobby-specific apps. Users on Reddit recommend resources such as Mapy and komoot. The free Open Street Map app and AllTrails have been popular among the adventurous set for years. A recent review by The Great Outdoors named Hiiker its number one hiking app. And hikers can get topographical data directly from local surveying agencies online.

Ultimately, each map offers different information, and most hikers use a combination of them for inspiration, topography, and safety planning.

It also never hurts to have analog resources as a backup. Keep a guide to local hiking trails and a recent topographical map of the area on hand (and know how to read it). Brush up on your compass skills, and connect with fellow experienced hikers to find the safest — but still awe-inspiring — routes beyond your phone.

If you thought K-pop comeback promotions had reached their limit, Hearts2Hearts would like a word.

Ahead of the release of its second mini album, Lemon Tang, the rookie SM Entertainment girl group introduced fans to Tangy, an adorable lemon mascot who quickly became the unlikely face of the comeback. What started as a series of mysterious social media posts asking fans to keep an eye out for the citrus character soon evolved into one of the strangest album promotions in recent memory: Tangy was launched more than 30 kilometers above Earth aboard a custom-built high-altitude balloon.

Yes, really.

The launch served as the grand finale of Hearts2Hearts' "Missing Tangy" campaign, a weeks-long social media mystery that treated the smiling citrus like a missing celebrity. Fans were encouraged to report sightings, piece together clues, and speculate about Tangy's whereabouts before the group finally revealed the mascot's improbable destination.

According to aerospace marketing company Sent Into Space, which partnered on the campaign, the mission required considerably more planning than simply tying a lemon to a weather balloon.

The engineering team designed a custom-molded flight seat built specifically for Tangy's "lemon-shaped posterior," complete with a concealed safety harness to keep the mascot secure during the journey. They also 3D-printed a miniature pair of heart-shaped sunglasses so Tangy could travel in style.

On launch day, the hydrogen-filled balloon carried Tangy into what Sent Into Space describes as near space, ascending for roughly 90 minutes to an altitude of more than 33 kilometers — above 99.5 percent of Earth's atmosphere. At that height, the curvature of the Earth becomes visible while the sky fades into the deep black associated with space.

The balloon itself expanded to nearly 30 meters in diameter — roughly the height of the White House — before bursting as planned. Tangy's spacecraft then descended beneath a parachute, completing a flight that lasted about three hours from launch to landing.

"Collaborating with Hearts2Hearts to celebrate their latest album release was an absolute pleasure, and the entire Sent Into Space team had a fantastic time launching everyone's favourite lemon to over 30km above the Earth," Dr. Chris Rose, head of project at Sent Into Space, said in a statement shared with Mashable. "Tangy did prove to be a bit of a slippery customer, though, managing to escape before we could bring him in for a post-flight debrief…"

A post shared by Hearts2Hearts H2H (@hearts2hearts)

The joke fit neatly into the campaign itself. Rather than ending with the launch, the story continued with Tangy's playful "escape," extending the mascot's narrative beyond the mission and giving fans one last chapter in the adventure.

The entire journey was documented on video, including exclusive behind-the-scenes footage shared with Mashable that shows engineers preparing Tangy's tiny spacecraft, fitting the mascot with its custom sunglasses, and completing final checks before liftoff.

It's the kind of rollout that's becoming increasingly common in K-pop, where comeback promotions have evolved into multimedia experiences designed to fuel fan conversation long before an album arrives. Whether it's alternate reality games, fictional universes, interactive websites, or elaborate real-world stunts, agencies are increasingly treating album campaigns as immersive stories rather than traditional marketing.

Sending a lemon 33 kilometers above Earth may be one of the more delightfully absurd examples.

But that's precisely why it worked. Fans weren't just anticipating "Lemon Tang" — they were following a little lemon's journey from internet mystery to near-space traveler.

If your T-Mobile service was disrupted on Monday, you may be able to get some compensation for your troubles.

Multiple outlets, including KTLA in Los Angeles, have reported that some T-Mobile customers have been able to get at least $20 off their next bill because of the outage. One Reddit user said they were able to save as much as $80 (spread out over multiple billing cycles) by telling customer service that they missed out on a work opportunity because of the outage.

SEE ALSO: T-Mobile is giving away the Apple iPhone 17 for free — how to qualify

Generally, it seems that these credits are not automatic, and you may have to personally contact T-Mobile customer service to be compensated for your troubles.

After a major Verizon mobile outage in January, Verizon offered all affected customers a $20 credit.

Millions of T-Mobile users found their phones stuck in SOS mode on Monday afternoon, which led to plenty of criticism of the brand on social media. T-Mobile did acknowledge and apologize for the outage, though it has not explained what happened.

This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.

Mashable contacted T-Mobile repeatedly to ask about the outage and its causes, but so far, the company has been silent. The most recent post at the T-Mobile news page is the company's Q2 2026 earnings report, in which the company saw growing revenue and profits, with total revenue for the quarter of $22.7 billion.

If you've ever used a handheld gimbal camera and wished it could just float into the air to grab a wide shot, HOVERAir built something specifically for you. The company just announced the VERSA, a pocket camera designed to work both on the ground and in the air.

Most of the time, it functions as a standard handheld camera with a 3-axis gimbal to keep your video steady. It uses an AI framing feature to analyze your shot, suggest where to place the camera, and automatically crop the frame. HOVERAir also says it handles low-light and high-contrast scenes without blowing out the highlights or losing shadow detail.

When you want an overhead perspective, you snap on a set of lightweight propeller wings. You don't need a controller or piloting experience — you launch it right out of your hand and let the AI tracking follow you around. It comes with more than 10 automatic flight modes, including a "3D Worlds" setting that flies a 360-degree circle around you to create a three-dimensional image.

The VERSA is set to launch on Indiegogo in mid-August. The official site is live with these initial details, but HOVERAir hasn't shared pricing or the full spec sheet yet.

It can shoot 6K/60fps HDR video on the main camera and 4K/120fps HDR video across the three cameras combined. Another added bonus is the infinity gimbal, which offers 360 degrees of rotation for magical shots from virtually any angle.

You'll get about 51 minutes of flight time with the Mavic 4 Pro's battery, but you can swap it for one of the extra batteries included for longer sessions. You'll also get a fast-charging hub with the Fly More Combo, helping you get back up in the air faster.

While it's certainly a major investment, our friends at CNET (also owned by Mashable's publisher, Ziff Davis) raved about it. "The Mavic 4 Pro is a superb option for video professionals who want to add some truly cinematic drone footage to their image-making arsenal."

It’s still a spendy upgrade, but this is one of the fastest drives on the market. It delivers read speeds up to 14,800 MB/s and write speeds up to 14,000 MB/s, so game load times and large file transfers happen almost instantly. And because Gen 5 drives are known for running hot when pushed, Kingston designed this one with a specialized thermal layout (a 6nm controller and a 12-layer PCB) to help manage heat and prevent the drive from throttling under heavy workloads.

That said, there is one thing you should know before buying: it uses the standard M.2 2280 form factor and works with older Gen 3 and Gen 4 systems, but you need a motherboard that supports PCIe 5.0 to reach the advertised 14,000 MB/s speeds.

OLED screens are notorious for being expensive, but they're also genuinely worth it if you care about picture quality.

It also has a 240Hz refresh rate and a 0.03ms response time, which is just a fancy way of saying your games will run super fast without tearing or lag.

A few other nice-to-have features: the screen is anti-glare, and the stand lets you adjust the height, tilt, and pivot to match your setup. Plus, LG includes a two-year warranty that covers the OLED panel itself.

The M80H is a step up from your basic LED TV, featuring a Mini LED display that uses loads of tiny LEDs for brighter, more accurate colors and more cinematic contrast.

These added perks let you elevate specific parts of the sound or add more depth to certain scenes.

For gamers, the M80H is a solid pick, as it features the Motion Xcelerator 144Hz for supporting PC gaming, DLG 240Hz for smoother motion and response times, AMD FreeSync Premium, and an in-game menu that lets you control FPS, input lag, and more.

Away from Amazon, TCGplayer remains slightly cheaper if you’re open to shopping elsewhere. A single unopened English box is available for $75.98 plus $2 shipping, making the total $77.98 and undercutting Amazon by exactly $4. That even undercuts the Pitch Black ETB’s current market price of $77.79 by a cent.

Inside the box are nine Pitch Black booster packs, one full-art foil Zarude promo card, 65 card sleeves, 40 Energy cards, and a player’s guide. The remaining extras include six damage-counter dice, a competition-legal coin-flip die, a plastic coin, six dividers, a collector’s box, and a Pokémon TCG Live code card.

Pitch Black is led by some valuable chase cards (which you can also buy individually on TCGplayer) — including Mega Darkrai ex and Mega Zeraora ex, with Mega Chandelure ex, and Morpeko ex also appearing across the expansion. At $81.98, the ETB comes to roughly $9.11 per booster before accounting for the promo card and accessories.

This week saw the launch of Furious, a new crime drama from Elizabeth Meriwether (New Girl and Dying for Sex) that focuses on the cat-and-mouse tale of traumatized FBI agent Alice Black (Emmy Rossum), who's tracking a female serial killer (Lola Petticrew) on a deadly quest for vengeance.

In my review of the series, I cheered Meriwether's masterful blend of dark subject matter with resilient humor. In particular, I praised the way she managed to make a show that addresses child trafficking and sexual assault without making a spectacle of either.

As Americans struggle to afford groceries and gas, Donald Trump threw his "Make America Affordable Again" promise in the trash at a recent campaign rally, with the president mocking "affordability" during his speech — even saying aloud, "What's affordability?"

On Late Night, Seth Meyers reacted to Trump's comments with a new segment he likes to call "I Feel F***ing Crazy." And, yeah.

"Can I tell you guys a secret? I feel f***ing crazy," said Meyers. "What do you mean, 'what's affordability?' You're the one who said it! You said we were going to 'make America affordable again.' Affordability is the noun form of the adjective affordable, you f***ing dropout. This is like if, after chanting 'build that wall' for four years, he admitted he didn't know what a wall was. Build that wall so I can finally lay eyes on one. You hear a lot about them. You never see walls. Someone told me I see walls every day, but then they pointed to one. I said, 'That's not a wall. That's a side roof.'"

SEE ALSO: Seth Meyers reacts to Trump being called a 'pedophile protector'

Meyers pointed out that during the rally, Trump also mocked reporters for asking him why prices were so high in a press conference.

"You're the president, of course they're asking you why prices are so high," said Meyers. "Who do you want them to ask, Jimothy? By the way, let's be clear: Do not let Jimothy anywhere near the White House. RFK will just assume his Uber Eats showed up early."

Meyers noted that while Americans are "struggling to afford food while Trump and his family line their pockets," Trump's job approval has again hit a record low — it's currently at -25, with 60 percent of Americans disapproving of the president, according to The Economist.

"The president's job approval rating is at a new all-time low, and the reason is simple," concluded Meyers. "He promised to bring down prices and keep us out of wars. And in both cases, he's done the opposite. He's good at enriching himself."

New parenthood becomes a nightmare right out of Finnish folklore in Hanna Bergholm's Nightborn.

The Hatching director once again pulls us into a disturbing, visceral tale of maternity, leaning on lore to explore, as Bergholm says in the film's press notes, "the messy, difficult, and sometimes 'ugly' side of parental love." Compartment No. 6's Seidi Haarla and Harry Potter star Rupert Grint are pushed to the limit in this body horror, with a word of caution, perhaps, for viewers who've recently become parents.

But what about that wild ending? What does it all mean? If you haven't watched the Shudder film, beware the spoilers ahead — and really, go and watch it. It'll mess you up.

SEE ALSO: Horrific 'Nightborn' trailer looks like one for new parents to avoid What is Nightborn about? Seidi Haarla and Rupert Grint in "Nightborn." Credit: Pietari Peltola

Saga (Haarla) and Jon (Grint) are deliriously happy newlyweds, who have moved from London to start a family in Saga's childhood home. Set deep in the Finnish woods, the house is more than a fixer-upper, with the floorboards rotting, wallpaper peeling, and actual trees growing through its crumbling structure.

Not wasting any time, Saga and Jon get right to conceiving a child, deciding the best place for it is in a grove of twisted trees that appear rather... person-like. Twiggy hands reach out for them, deep moans echo through the trunks, and it's clear the woods have a vested interest in making sure life, uh, finds a way.

When their child Kuura (a Finnish name meaning "frost" Saga hears from the forest) is born, strange things begin. Saga knows there's something inhuman about her gremlin-like baby (and it's not just the full body of hair and tiny tail sprout). Kuura burns in sunlight, hates clothes, and only wants to drink blood, and more than a few relatives suffer violent attacks from the increasingly creepy youngster. Saga refuses to call Kuura "him," instead leaning into "it," "that thing," or "little monster," and finding herself driven to primal outbursts.

Saga and Jon's opinions about what's "best" for their child begin to wildly differ — and things get out of hand.

After a stream of disturbing events, Nightborn reaches a moment of pure chaos as Saga and Jon wrestle viciously with each other over Kuura. Jon intends to take the child from Saga, brutally declaring her "unfit" to be his mother, as they try to tear each other apart. If we didn't think Kuura possessed otherworldly powers before, we get to see them in furious action here, as the child calls to the forest to stop this madness. Unfortunately for Jon, he's impaled by one of the assisting trees.

Did Kuura mean to skewer his father, to avoid his insistence on table manners? Probably, as Kuura then feasts on his father, joined by Saga, who wrenches out Jon's heart and shares it with her son in a quiet little banquet.

As the sun rises, Saga stumbles out of her now Evil Dead-looking house, to see Kuura waddling unclothed toward the woods. Then, we see the trees come to life, confirming those face-like forms as magical beings, and they beckon to the child in a welcoming gesture. Saga and Kuura share a moment of acknowledgment before she sends him off into the woods with a weary smile.

Essentially, trolls are afoot — mythological beings of Nordic folklore. The beings that welcome Kuura at the end of the film are trolls, confirmed through their listing in the credits as such. And it's clear Saga's family has been connected to the trolls surrounding their home for generations.

"In the Nordic countries, there’s a longstanding mythology of trolls living in the forests. In ancient times, people truly believed that trolls inhabited the woods and had a kind of control over nature. And in Nightborn, the forest reflects Saga's emotions and the animalistic, primitive physical side of humankind," says Bergholm in the film's press notes.

"But I also wanted to create my own interpretation of this mythology. In this film’s logic some humans and trolls have interacted for generations, so perhaps all of us carry a bit of troll's blood. That troll's blood might make some of us feel different, awkward in social situations, or out of step with social norms."

Jon's mother (Rebecca Lacey), earlier in the film, tells Saga she "read local tales here say that if you don't bless a child the trolls will take them," and speaks of "some families [that] still have troll blood running through their veins." It's clear Saga does, as she physically takes on the same hairy attributes as Kuura, finds her pregnant belly replicating a troll-like tree trunk, and joins Kuura in a diet of raw meat. By conceiving Kuura among them in the trolls' woods, Saga reconnects with their magic and gives birth to a little baby troll that can't be "raised."

It's also clear Saga's grandmother had experiences with the trolls. Saga tells Jon she was forbidden by to visit the forest as a child, though she used to sneak out there. Saga's mother (Pirkko Saisio) says her grandmother "believed there were some... whatever," during a phone call, and her sister Taru (Pamela Tola) says their she'd filled the yard with cold iron junk to "keep them away." When Kuura is burned by the cold iron of a gift from Jon's father (John Thomson), Saga bursts into laughter, later saying aloud to her son, "I know what you are."

Saga's own history, whether physically or metaphorically, as a "troll" is also recalled by her mother and Taru. Saga's mother not-so-subtly tells her she was a "terrible child" and that "Saga always liked more trees than people." Taru lambasts her sister for being "shitty" to grow up with, and the actual "monster" in the room.

Ultimately, Bergholm uses these mythological creatures as a means to explore the animalistic, brutal side of motherhood, with Saga struggling with her little troll before she embraces her inner ferality.

"The story really grew out of my own feelings and experiences as a mother: those complex, sometimes difficult emotions, and how challenging love for your child can be," the director said in the film's press notes. "Parenting is not always easy, and when a child isn’t quite what you expected — a happy, easy-going baby — you begin to question how to be a parent to them."

We also don't see Kuura's face until the final frame, a decision that keeps us wondering whether the child has fangs or the like. Bergholm deliberately kept the child's face offscreen, saying in press notes, "I really wanted to keep the mystery regarding the baby's face. This way, the viewer shares the feeling the protagonist has all the way through: There is something very wrong with the child, but it is impossible to say what."

Essentially, trolls!

Nightborn is now streaming on Shudder.

Former chief medical advisor Anthony Fauci's diary from the time of Covid has been made available to the press, and Daily Show host Desi Lydic is just as outraged by his entries as the people on Fox News.

"This guy is completely obsessed with himself," Lydic says. "I bet he'd put his name on random buildings if you let him. I mean, who writes a diary about themselves? What a lunatic."

Lydic goes on to play clips of various Fox News hosts contradicting each other over why exactly they're so angry with Fauci.

"It couldn't be clearer," says Lydic. "Covid killed a million Americans and also wasn't really that deadly, so we shouldn't have shut down. Remember, Fauci made this fatal virus in a lab, but he did a bad job because the virus wasn't even that fatal. Fauci's real crime is being a shitty deadly virus maker."
