No, NASA's Artemis II astronauts did not make contact with extraterrestrial life on the far side of the moon — but they did get a call from Donald Trump.As the crew traveled farther from Earth than any humans have in decades, the U.S. president phoned commander Reid Wiseman, pilot Victor Glover, mission specialist Christina Koch, and mission specialist Jeremy Hansen on Monday to congratulate them on the historic mission. The exchange was captured on the Artemis II livestream. SEE ALSO: Artemis II proposed a name for a crater. It left everyone in tears. "You've made history and made all of America really proud," Trump told the crew during the roughly 12-minute call, which took place just hours after they soared past the far side of the moon. The president called the astronauts "modern-day pioneers" and asked what it felt like to lose contact with Earth during the lunar flyby. "I said a little prayer, and then I had to keep rolling," Glover replied, adding that the crew worked on their detailed lunar observations during that time. "It was actually quite nice." Trump acknowledged Hansen's role as the mission's Canadian astronaut, referring to him as a "neighbor." The president also referenced conversations with Canadian ice hockey legend Wayne Gretzky, spoke optimistically about future trips to Mars, and claimed, "America is the hottest country in the world right now." The Artemis II crew seemed more fascinated by the floating microphone drifting through the cabin, repeatedly grabbing for it as it bobbed weightlessly between them.At one point, both sides of the call briefly wondered whether the connection had dropped, leading to several awkward seconds of silence. This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed. Within minutes, clips of the exchange spread across social media, while the dead air became its own meme. One viral post described the moment simply: "Awkward scenes aboard Artemis II as Trump stops ranting and none of the astronauts have anything left to say to him, leading to extended dead air." This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed. But the online reaction quickly shifted from the novelty of the call itself to the politics surrounding it.Just days before the conversation, the White House proposed cutting NASA's overall budget by 23 percent for fiscal year 2027 while reducing NASA's science division by nearly half. At the same time, the proposal would increase funding for the Artemis mission, including $8.5 billion for the moon program and additional money for plans to establish a permanent lunar base camp. (Notably, NASA administrator Jared Isaacman supports the administration's proposed budget cuts.) That contradiction became central to much of the internet's response. Posts juxtaposed Trump's praise for the astronauts and their scientific achievements with headlines about the proposed cuts. This Tweet is currently unavailable.

Scientists and advocacy groups have warned that cutting astrophysics, heliophysics, and planetary science budgets could ultimately undermine long-term human exploration. The Planetary Society called it the NASA cuts an "existential threat" to U.S. space science and exploration, claiming it could result in at least 40 missions being canceled.The call between Trump and the Artemis II crew is more of a snapshot of the larger debate surrounding NASA itself, one that asks whether America can pursue historic human milestones even as it scales back the science that makes them possible.

Apple is expected to release the first foldable iPhone later this year (or potentially in 2027), and this week, a leaker claims to have a close-up look at the device.Leaker Sonny Dickson shared photos on his X account purporting to show dummy models for the iPhone 18 Pro, iPhone 18 Pro Max, and the iPhone Fold. The first two devices, as you'd expect, look like other iPhone Pro models, with three camera lenses in a rectangular bump on the back. One of them, presumably the Pro Max, looks a little bigger than the other. However, the real juice here is the alleged iPhone Fold model, representing one of the first looks at what could be a real representation of the upcoming, still unannounced phone. SEE ALSO: iPhone Fold leaks, rumors, and renders: Everything we know This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed. While Dickson didn't share exact size dimensions in his post, it's clear just from using your eyes that the iPhone Fold is both very wide and significantly more squat than its brethren. In fact, it looks even more wide and short than something like the Google Pixel 10 Pro Fold. The leaked iPhone Fold model also has two rear camera lens cut-outs in a smaller raised bump than the ones found on the iPhone 18 Pro models. These dummy models largely match what we've seen from previous leaks and renders of the device. According to prior reports, the iPhone Fold's outer display will only be 5.5 inches, a big downsizing compared to regular iPhone models. However, once opened up, users will have access to 7.8 inches of screen space. The iPhone Fold is also rumored to cost more than $2,000, though, so it will likely come with a steep price tag.While we expect the iPhone Fold to launch later in 2026, a new report coinciding with Dickson's latest leak suggests the launch could be pushed into 2027. At any rate, this is a lot of information to digest about a device Apple hasn't even confirmed yet.

Waymo is now offering fully autonomous, driverless taxi rides in Nashville. We knew this was coming.

On Tuesday, Google shared for the first time details about how its AI chatbot Gemini is designed not to act like a companion or claim to be human when interacting with minors. The information, published by the company in a blog post, was announced among changes to better support the mental health of users engaging with Gemini. Child safety and mental health experts have long worried that companion-like chatbots are too dangerous for teens to use. Last year, the advocacy group Common Sense Media rated the teen and under-13 versions of Gemini as "high risk" after its researchers determined that the chatbot exposed kids to inappropriate content, including sex, drugs, alcohol, and unsafe mental health "advice." SEE ALSO: How teens really feel about AI and their future The group recommended that no one under 18 turn to an AI chatbot for companionship or mental health support. Google said that Gemini has "persona protections" when engaging with under-18 users. The longstanding constraints are designed to prevent emotional dependence and avoid "language that simulates intimacy or expresses needs," according to Google. Other safeguards should help discourage the chatbot from bullying and other types of harassment. "Our safety efforts continue to evolve and reflect our ongoing commitment to creating a healthy and positive digital environment where young people can explore and learn with confidence," Google said in the company's blog post. Google also announced that it updated Gemini to streamline resources for users who may seek or need mental health resources. A new "one-touch" interface will offer varied connections to crisis hotline resources, including via chat, call, and text. That interface will appear throughout a conversation with Gemini once it's activated. Google said that it is trying to prioritize helping users receive human support. Additionally, Gemini's responses are supposed to encourage help-seeking instead of validating harmful behaviors and confirming false beliefs. SEE ALSO: Explaining the phenomenon known as 'AI psychosis' In March, Google and its parent company Alphabet, were sued by the family of an adult man who allege he killed himself at Gemini's urging. "Gemini is designed not to encourage real-world violence or suggest self-harm," Google said in a statement at the time. "Our models generally perform well in these types of challenging conversations and we devote significant resources to this, but unfortunately AI models are not perfect."If you're feeling suicidal or experiencing a mental health crisis, please talk to somebody. You can call or text the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline at 988, or chat at 988lifeline.org. You can reach the Trans Lifeline by calling 877-565-8860 or the Trevor Project at 866-488-7386.

I think we can all agree that headphone prices have gotten out of hand. Even if the Sony WH-1000XM6 and Bose QuietComfort Ultra are worth their price tags, the average person can't spend $400 to $500 on a pair of headphones. Affordable noise-cancelling headphones are widely available, but are they any good? Previously, we've loved the JLab Lux headphones, but what about Soundcore's lineup?Soundcore's Space One and Space One Pro offer affordable and midrange options to the headphone game. And both are wildly popular: the Soundcore headphones have over 14,000 reviews on Amazon, and I see them everywhere. As a product reviewer, I'm always eyeing what people are wearing at the gym or coffee shop, and quickly, I noticed how many folks were wearing the Space One and Space One Pro headphones.

Credit: Samantha Mangino / Mashable Soundcore's Space One and Space One Pro headphones are similar to Bose's headphone tiers, with the Bose QuietComfort and QuietComfort Ultra. While that means they exist at two different price points, it also means the headphones are similar with a few key differences.The Soundcore Space One headphones are priced at $99.99 with the following features:Noise cancellation: Adaptive active noise cancellationSound: Hi-ResBattery life: 40 hours with ANC or 55 hours without ANCFast charging: 5 minutes of charging for 4 hours of playbackMics: 3 MicsWeight: 265 gramsColors: Cloud pink, latte cream, sky blue, and abyss blackThe Soundcore Space One Pro headphones are priced at $199.99 with the following features:Noise cancellation: Adaptive active noise cancellation 3.0Sound: Hi-Res with lossless audio supportBattery life: 40 hours with ANC or 60 hours without ANCFast charging: 5 minutes of charging for 8 hours of playbackMics: 4 MicsWeight: 286.2 gramsColors: Cream white and jet blackThe Soundcore Space One looks like Beats and Bose had a baby The Soundcore logo resembles the Beats logo, no? Credit: Samantha Mangino / Mashable The Soundcore Space One and Space One Pro both have a great look, especially for budget headphones. When I first spotted them out in the wild, I thought they were a pair of Beats because they looked like the Studio Pros. Turns out, the Soundcore and Beats logos just look remarkably similar.The Soundcore Space One and Space One Pro headphones stand on their own, with sleek, shiny design elements and rounded features. Both are made from lightweight plastic, so while they look expensive, they do feel noticeably cheaper than higher-end brands. The Space One Pros have a little more heft, so they feel more expensive, earning their higher price tag.The controls are the exact same. On the left ear cup is the power button and a button to control noise cancellation. On the right ear cup is the play/pause button and the volume controls. All the buttons work great, and I prefer them far more than the touch controls of higher-end headphones.One pair is surprising more comfortable than the other Both the Space One and Space One Pro headphones have intuitive button controls. Credit: Samantha Mangino / Mashable One odd design choice separating the Space One and Space One Pro is that the ear cups on the Space Ones have a slight eight-degree tilt for an adjustable fit.Generally, the Space One headphones weren't as snug a fit as the Space One Pros. That being said, I preferred the comfort of the Space One headphones. I wear glasses and earrings daily, and while wearing the Space Ones, I was always comfortable with no pinching on my ears.The Space One Pros have a tighter fit, which, on the one hand, means better passive noise cancellation. On the other hand, it is harder to get comfortable with the Space One Pro headphones. The tight fit on the headphones meant I was constantly adjusting to get them comfortable, and wearing them for an hour started to give me a headache.So, on comfort alone, I prefer the Space Ones.Middling audio quality and noise cancellationI wasn't blown away by either the Soundcore Space One or Space One pro headphones — both were good but not great. On specs alone, the Space One and Space One Pro are incredibly similar, both with active noise cancellation and hi-res sound. Where the Pros have a leg up is a more advanced version of ANC and lossless audio. In my experience, the sound is virtually the same.What it ultimately came down to was the headphones' fit. Since the Space One Pro headphones have a tighter fit, it created more passive noise cancellation. When I wore both out at a coffee shop to work, the Space One Pros were better at blocking out the cafe's buzz.Battery life to last for daysDespite the $100 price difference between the two pairs of headphones, their battery life is fairly similar. The Space One headphones have 40 hours of battery life with ANC and 55 hours without, while the Space One Pro headphones have the same battery life with ANC but 60 hours without.In my time testing the two pairs of headphones, I found similar results. When using the headphones for a couple of hours a day, I could go about two weeks before needing to recharge them — and that's with active noise cancellation on.Unless you don't plan to use active noise cancellation on the headphones, the Pros aren't worth it given the battery life.Go for the cheaper pair: The Soundcore Space One Having tested both, we prefer the Soundcore Space One headphones over the Pros. Credit: Samantha Mangino / Mashable Testing the Soundcore Space One and Space One Pro headphones side by side, the biggest difference is their price tags. Since that's the case, I say go for the cheaper option, the Soundcore Space One. The battery life is essentially the same as the Pros, plus, they're the more comfortable pair of headphones.If you want to splurge and prioritize noise cancellation, go for the Soundcore Space One Pro headphones. They have a tighter fit, resulting in better noise cancellation. However, we're big fans of saving money where you can, and in this case, the cheaper Soundcore Space One are our preferred headphones.

If you've chatted with any single friend lately or scrolled through social media, you know the general consensus: People are exhausted by online dating. App fatigue is real, it's excruciating, and it makes finding a genuine connection online feel impossible. As someone who's been testing and reviewing dating apps for years, I get asked one question constantly: Which dating apps work?My answer is always the same: The only "hack" is choosing the right app for what you actually want. Someone on eharmony is looking for a ring, while users on hookup apps like Tinder are... well, you know what they're looking for."Dating apps can feel overwhelming because there are so many of them, but the truth is the platform matters a lot less than the mindset you bring to it," Davide De Pierro, author of The Letters I Never Sent, tells Mashable. "You can download all of them if you want, but eventually you still have to show up as yourself, which is the scary part, but also the freeing part. Because once you do that, you don’t have to keep track of which version of yourself you’re pretending to be. If you’re honest about who you are and what you want, the right connection can happen anywhere."I always follow up this advice with one more piece of wisdom: Don't give up! Despite burnout, the best dating apps remain among the most reliable ways to meet a partner. A 2025 SSRS Opinion Panel Omnibus found that 65 percent of people aged 18 to 29 have used a dating app, and a 2023 Pew Research Center report found that one in five young people met their significant other on one.You just need the right tool. That's why I've put in the hours, the swipes, and the subscription fees to find the best dating app for every kind of single person. To help you find your match, these are all of the top dating apps worth downloading in 2026. If you need even more personalized advice, check out our guides to the best dating apps for men, women, and the LGBTQ community.The dating apps I'd skip (and why)You'll probably notice a few popular apps are missing from my list. That’s intentional. Part of my job is to filter out the platforms that aren't worth your time, money, or sanity. An app doesn't get my recommendation just because it's well-known — it has to be effective and safe. Here are a few popular dating apps I'd skip:Plenty of Fish (POF): I know this one shows up on a lot of lists, but in my opinion, it's a dating app ghost town. POF launched as a dating site back in 2003, and it shows. In my experience (and based on widespread user feedback), the platform is filled with bots and scams, and the odds of finding a quality connection are stacked against you. Unless you enjoy sifting through fake profiles, I think your time is better spent elsewhere.Raya: Raya is basically the Soho House of dating apps. It's exclusive, expensive, and not for the average person. You have to fill out an application to use it, and the vetting process can take anywhere from a few days to a few years. While it might be great for networking or bagging an influencer, it's just not a practical recommendation for most people who are simply looking for a date. (See also: The League.)Niche "hookup" sites (like BeNaughty, Fling, etc.): There's a chance you've seen ads for sites like these, which promise quick, no-strings-attached fun. Based on my research and countless user reviews, I'd advise you to steer clear. These platforms are notorious for being overrun with bots and having questionable billing practices, with users reporting unexpected and hard-to-cancel subscription charges.

Stephen Colbert has reacted to President Donald Trump's threats to destroy Iran's power plants and bridges. Posting to Truth Social on Easter Sunday, Trump announced that the U.S. would attack Iran on Tuesday, stating that "There will be nothing like it!!!" As Colbert noted, Trump going "100 percent cage-free crazy on the internet" didn't make for a very festive Easter atmosphere."Open the Fuckin' Strait [of Hormuz], you crazy bastards, or you'll be living in Hell — JUST WATCH!" Trump wrote (emphasis original). "Praise be to Allah.""You know, it is not often that a network has to bleep the words of a sitting president," Colbert quipped. "Hasn't happened since [President Harry S.] Truman put that famous sign on his desk: The bleep stops bleep." SEE ALSO: Watch a jar of Nutella make space history alongside Artemis II astronauts Quickly running through Trump's recent history regarding his messaging on Iran, Colbert noted that just last week the president said reopening the Strait of Hormuz was not an issue the U.S. was interested in being involved in. Despite this, The U.S. president has since issued multiple deadlines for Iran to reopen the strait, threatening military strikes on the country's power plants if they do not comply. Thus far, Trump has moved these deadlines back each time they've arrived."At this point he's tried every tactic except passive aggressive parental guilt trip," joked Colbert. "'Well, I guess you won't open the Strait of Hormuz before I die. But that's fine. I mean, who needs oil when I'm clearly never going to have grandchildren? I don't need them. I have canasta, which would be a beautiful name for a girl.'"Colbert also continued to follow NASA's historic Artemis II mission to the moon, which began experiencing various problems with its onboard toilet not long after launch."Luckily, the astronauts have trained extensively on NASA's broken toilet simulator: a Greyhound bus," Colbert quipped. "Apparently the problem was caused by a frozen waste plug in the toilet pipeline, which the crew solved by rotating the spacecraft so sunlight could warm the frozen pipe. Turns out the solution to their problem was to point it where the sun do shine."

Jimmy Kimmel has returned from a one-week break, diving straight back into our ongoing hellscape by addressing President Donald Trump's behaviour during the Easter holiday. On Easter Sunday, Trump published a post on Truth Social threatening a large-scale attack on Iran's power plants and bridges this Tuesday. He subsequently followed it up with a post that simply read, "Tuesday, 8 P.M. Eastern Time!""He's the only president who teases a bombing the same way ABC promotes new episodes of Will Trent," quipped Kimmel.Trump was also his usual verbose self at the White House's annual Easter Egg Roll. In a moment Kimmel considered among the "most preposterous" in the event's history, Trump gave a speech about the U.S.' war with Iran while standing next to a person in an Easter Bunny costume. The president then griped about former president Joe Biden to a group of literal children."I want to assure you the words you are about to hear coming out of the president's mouth were not altered," said Kimmel. "We did not script this. This is not AI or a Donald Trump impersonator."Specifically, Trump complained to the children about Joe Biden's use of an autopen, a machine that can sign documents on an individual's behalf. Though it is legal for presidents to sign bills with an autopen, last March Trump cited its use as justification for voiding pardons that Biden had issued. Under the U.S. Constitution, a pardon does not need to be written or signed to be effective."It's hard to believe it was only a week off," said Kimmel. "It seems like we've been gone for a year. So much stuff happened while we were off."

Welcome to your guide to Pips, the latest game in the New York Times catalogue.Released in August 2025, the Pips puts a unique spin on dominoes, creating a fun single-player experience that could become your next daily gaming habit.Currently, if you're stuck, the game only offers to reveal the entire puzzle, forcing you to move onto the next difficulty level and start over. However, we have you covered! Below are piecemeal answers that will serve as hints so that you can find your way through each difficulty level.How to play PipsIf you've ever played dominoes, you'll have a passing familiarity for how Pips is played. As we've shared in our previous hints stories for Pips, the tiles, like dominoes, are placed vertically or horizontally and connect with each other. The main difference between a traditional game of dominoes and Pips is the color-coded conditions you have to address. The touching tiles don't necessarily have to match. SEE ALSO: Wordle today: Answer, hints for April 7, 2026 The conditions you have to meet are specific to the color-coded spaces. For example, if it provides a single number, every side of a tile in that space must add up to the number provided. It is possible – and common – for only half a tile to be within a color-coded space.Here are common examples you'll run into across the difficulty levels:Number: All the pips in this space must add up to the number.Equal: Every domino half in this space must be the same number of pips.Not Equal: Every domino half in this space must have a completely different number of pips.Less than: Every domino half in this space must add up to less than the number.Greater than: Every domino half in this space must add up to more than the number.If an area does not have any color coding, it means there are no conditions on the portions of dominoes within those spaces.
