Charli XCX has released a new song that's only available on Instagram and vinyl, in a very internet move from the brat artist.Days after releasing her latest single "Rock Music," Charli XCX released another new track, a B-side called "I Keep On Thinking Bout You Every Single Day and Night." The artist posted the song on her secondary Instagram account b.sides, with a video shot in Kyoto, Japan, by The Moment director Aidan Zamiri.Mashable 101 Fan Fave: Vote for your favorite creator today."i went to kyoto for six weeks to shoot a film. while we were there, i made this video with aidan," she captioned the post, noting the track is only available on Instagram and the "Rock Music" 7" vinyl, "so rip the audio if you want it xx."The very idea of ripping audio from an artist's page seems a) shocking and b) like some '00s Limewire Y2K energy to me, which, yeah, is extremely Charli XCX.

Apple's macOS Tahoe came with a new, Liquid Glass-infused design when it launched last September, but not all of it worked as well as it does on the iPhone and iPad. Now, Bloomberg's Mark Gurman claims Apple is about to make some design changes in the upcoming macOS 27 to address some of the most glaring issues. Mashable 101 Fan Fave: Vote for your favorite creator today.The new macOS 27 won't be a complete overhaul of Tahoe; internally, Gurman's sources are talking about a "slight redesign," and the Liquid Glass design language will remain a big part of the new OS. Mostly, these will be small tweaks that make certain parts of the user interface more legible and less confusing. The report doesn't offer many details about what, exactly, is about to change, but it does mention the legibility issues in Tahoe's Control Center, Finder, as well as apps with sidebars and dense lists. Featured Video For You Slow internet on your iPhone? Try clearing your cache Furthermore, the advent of MacBooks with OLED displays (current Macs all have LCD displays) should further improve the look of the Liquid Glass interfaces in macOS. Apple is expected to launch several MacBooks with OLED displays over the next year or so. Gurman also said that macOS 27 should bring bug fixes, battery life upgrades, and performance improvements, as well as more AI features, mostly reflected in Apple's smart assistant Siri. Apple is expected to unveil macOS 27 during its WWDC conference, which kicks off on June 8 this year.

Welcome to your guide to Pips, the latest game in the New York Times catalogue.Released in August 2025, 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 on to 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 with 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 May 11, 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.

When my wife and I rescued our dog, Milly, this winter, we registered her microchip right away, but we wanted another level of protection. From the rescue, we knew Milly was a runner, which meant taking extra precautions, like double-leashing and working with a dog trainer right away. But I'd also scooped up a four-pack of AirTags when they were at an all-time low during Black Friday so that I could attach one to Milly's collar.But was an AirTag really the best solution? It's certainly affordable, but since owning a dog, I'm inundated with targeted ads for GPS dog collars. While GPS collars are the more expensive option, they promise greater reliability. Since I'm still fairly new to dog ownership, I turned to experts to find out whether there's a clear choice between an AirTag and a GPS tracker for a dog.While AirTags are gaining popularity among pet owners, that doesn't mean they're the best option. "AirTags are flying off the shelves for dogs, and there is a big market for collars and harnesses that house them. Unfortunately, they are misunderstood and are providing a false sense of security," says Chris Edge, founder of K9 Edge Dog Training."For a working dog handler or trainer, the question isn't really AirTag vs. GPS collar — it's passive location vs. active monitoring. One tells you where your dog was. The other tells you where your dog currently is," says Jonathan Bensamoun, the founder and CEO of Fi, a company that makes GPS dog collars. But which is which? Here's what you need to know about AirTags versus GPS dog collars.How do AirTags and GPS collars work for dogs? Is a GPS collar more effect than an AirTag? That depends. Credit: Halo / Awoo AirTags, commonly used to track keys, wallets, and luggage, are not necessarily made for moving objects, like a dog. They work via a Bluetooth signal detected by iOS devices on the Find My network. AirTags feature a lost mode, so when a lost object is detected, you'll get a notification. Plus, NFC-capable iPhones can tap the AirTag to receive your information. But the key piece of information here is that AirTags require proximity to other Bluetooth devices to locate. Bensamoun says, "Your dog's location only updates when another Apple device passes nearby. In a suburban neighborhood, that might mean a delay of minutes. In a park, a trail, or a rural area, it could be hours — or never."Mashable 101 Fan Fave: Vote for your favorite creator today!A GPS collar works differently as it provides real-time info. These collars typically let you draw GPS maps in their apps so you can create boundaries for your dogs and receive notifications if they cross them. They provide real-time tracking, regardless of proximity to other smartphones, so you can still see live tracking information even in rural, sparsely populated areas.AirTags vs. GPS trackers — it depends on where you liveThe decision between an AirTag and a GPS tracker comes down to where you live. As a city dweller, an AirTag is a pretty good option, considering the more densely populated the area, the more likely an iPhone will be nearby. For those living in the suburbs or rural areas, though, it means a runaway dog will be less likely to encounter people; therefore, the AirTag won't be effective. Even if you live in a city, if you're frequently going on hikes or traveling into isolated areas, an AirTag won't be effective then either.But a GPS tracker will work anywhere, regardless of cell service availability. So if you're considering which is best for you, I like to think of it this way. If your dog escapes the house, are there nearby woods or a bustling main street they're going to run to?AirTags vs. GPS trackers for dogs: Which is cheaper?AirTags are extremely popular and accessible. An AirTag four-pack puts the individual trackers at $24.75. Plus, you need something to attach it to a collar, which will run you less than $20. So all in all, the investment is under $50. Opens in a new window Credit: Apple Apple AirTag $29 at Amazon   Shop Now Opens in a new window Credit: Awoo Awoo AirTag Holder, 2-pack $16 at Chewy   Shop Now A GPS collar is much more expensive. A collar itself starts at around $99. Fi's payment structure is similar to that of the fitness tracker, Whoop, where, rather than purchasing the collar outright, you pay for the membership. While another GPS collar, Halo, costs $599 outright — and you also need to pay a monthly membership fee.

The more usage the GPS collars get, the more battery power they require. Halo collars last up to two days, and Fi collars technically have a longer battery life of up to three months. However, when in Lost Mode, which provides live tracking, the battery life lasts about two days.AirTags on the other end, which require a CR2032 coin battery, last about one year. Battery life varies depending on usage and movement, so for a dog that moves more frequently, it could be just six months.AirTag vs. GPS trackers for dogs: Which is better?There's no definitive answer to whether an AirTag or a GPS tracker is better for a dog — it really depends on what you need and where you live. As a city dweller, I still feel comfortable using an AirTag for my dog. However, for trips into the woods, I'd consider getting a GPS collar to use then.But if you live in a sparsely populated area or are hiking in the woods with your dog, then a GPS collar could be an actual lifesaver. But Edge says, regardless of which you choose, behavioral training is just as important: "Ultimately, both can be useful if used within their capacity. All dogs should be microchipped as a fail-safe, and of course, coming from a dog trainer, the real answer is a very solid recall."

The sports Connections can be played on both web browsers and mobile devices and require players to group four words that share something in common. This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed. Each puzzle features 16 words, and each grouping of words is split into four categories. These sets could comprise anything from book titles, software, country names, etc. Even though multiple words will seem like they fit together, there's only one correct answer.If a player gets all four words in a set correct, those words are removed from the board. Guess wrong and it counts as a mistake — players get up to four mistakes before the game ends. This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed. Players can also rearrange and shuffle the board to make spotting connections easier. Additionally, each group is color-coded with yellow being the easiest, followed by green, blue, and purple.

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.
