See the 163 new emoji available in iOS 26.4 beta 4

Mashable - 2 hours 51 min ago

Apple's latest iOS beta — 26.4 beta 4 — rolled out this week and came with a serious upgrade in emoji.

Your mileage may vary on what's technically new, but iOS 26.4 beta 4 brings a total of 163 new emoji designs. There are 13 truly new emoji concepts (which we've seen before), and then 150 new skin tone variations for the existing wrestling and people with bunny ears emoji.

The emoji-focused resource, Emojipedia, helpfully published a first look at all the new emoji. They appear to be variations on the new emojis introduced by Unicode — the nonprofit that standardizes digital characters — last year.

The new concepts, as shown above, include a distorted face, a so-called fight cloud, a bigfoot-esque creature (technically, it's known as the "hairy creature"), an orca, a landslide, a treasure chest, and a ballerina in various skin tones. These are long-expected updates to emoji, as we covered back in 2025, but now they're starting to roll out.

Hairy creature, aka Bigfoot, appears to be the most anticipated of the new emoji. Personally, I think the fight cloud emoji has a bright future, especially for anyone who loved Saturday morning cartoons back in the day.

Scarpetta review: Nicole Kidman leads a killer cast in Patricia Cornwell series

Mashable - 3 hours 13 min ago

Patricia Cornwell's Kay Scarpetta has never led her own TV series or movie in 35 years, not since Postmortem hit shelves in 1990. Finally, the famed forensic crime writer's iconic protagonist has made her screen debut, with Nicole Kidman and Rosy McEwen taking on the chief medical examiner in Scarpetta.

Written by Liz Sarnoff (Lost, Deadwood, Barry) and directed by David Gordon Green (the modern Halloween trilogy) and Charlotte Brändström (The Rings of Power), the Prime Video series leans on its '90s and '00s roots to show off Cornwell's legacy in the forensic thriller genre.

SEE ALSO: 'The Walsh Sisters' review: Marian Keyes' iconic sisters finally have the TV series they deserve

Like Mare of Easttown and to an extent True Detective, Scarpetta is a crime procedural that blends murder investigation with complicated family drama, with this impeccable cast — Kidman, McEwen, Jamie Lee Curtis, Bobby Cannavale, Ariana DeBose, Simon Baker — bringing out the best in the latter. If you're a fan of forensic thrillers with familial feuds, dive into the Scarpetta files.

If Scarpetta feels like it hits the notes of many a modern forensic crime thriller, just remember Patricia Cornwell changed the game for the genre in the '90s and '00s, making her mark amid contemporaries like Kathy Reichs and Jeffery Deaver. Without Cornwell's early '90s books like Postmortem or Body of Evidence, there's no CSI, no Bones, no Cold Case, no Dexter. And Sarnoff knows it; her script has a young Scarpetta directly quoting from Postmortem in an early scene — "Out there, somewhere, is a man..." — and Cornwell herself makes a cameo in the first episode.

Revolving around Dr. Kay Scarpetta (Kidman/McEwen), the series bounces between three time periods — the '70s, '90s, and the present — charting moments from Scarpetta's tragedy-marked childhood, through her first case as Virginia's first female chief medical examiner, and her return to the job in the present. When murder victims turn up bearing the same hallmarks as Scarpetta's big career-defining case from 28 years ago, the possibility that she might have pinned the wrong suspect becomes very real.

In both Kidman and McEwen's talented hands, Scarpetta is a methodical, smart, and sangfroid chainsmoker, highly skilled as chief medical examiner, scrutinising causes of death and throwing the book at chauvinist colleagues. She's not a hard boiled detective who flies off the handle and cuts corners — that's her charming but combustible partner Pete Marino (Cannavale Sr. in the present, Cannavale Jr. in the past). Instead, she's a by-the-book forensic pathologist urging her colleagues to wear sanitary equipment and refrain from using slurs. The comparisons between her and another scrupulous '90s investigator, The X-Files' Dana Scully, are not subtle, from the suits and tees Kay dons to a literal collation of the two's similarities in episode 6.

When Scarpetta and Marino walk through crime scenes, the series leans on the 2000s blue-toned flashback technique favoured by shows like CSI and Cold Case, which can feel a little dated. The same goes for the series' lack of real background for half of the serial killers' victims — we only get to know small details about women recently murdered, the rest relegated to mere Post-Its and photos on a red yarn wall, while the search for the killer's identity is foregrounded. At one point Scarpetta even insists "we don't know them" when a lab technician indicates humanising the victims, however she often corrects sexist victim-blaming language from her colleagues.

The series also leans slightly into the psychological cat-and-mouse game that defined '90s forensic fiction and the flurry of '00s crime adaptations that came with it: The Bone Collector, Kiss the Girls, Red Dragon. Fittingly, Scarpetta's 1998 storyline feels the most aligned to this specific trend, with the medical examiner finding herself in increasingly dangerous waters.

Scarpetta also hits every note in the genre Alexis Nedd described for Mashable as "curmudgeonly detective solves a dead girl case while their personal/romantic life falls apart". We're talking the near-constant presence of enormous glasses of wine, requisite pondering-in-the-shower scenes, and open disdain for the press (especially Sosie Bacon's Abby). The fact that Scarpetta doesn't go for early morning runs is one of the few hallmarks of the subgenre missing from her characterisation.

Being a Blumhouse production, the detail in Scarpetta's autopsy scenes can be gruesome, so squeamish viewers may want to look away. However, it's this level of detail that makes it the Patricia Cornwell adaptation it is, with the author's inclusion of forensic detail her signature stamp on the genre.

Featured Video For You 'Crime 101's Chris Hemsworth and Halle Berry play our new mash-up game Scarpetta's cast is criminally talented Bobby Cannavale as Marino and Ariana DeBose as Lucy Scarpetta. Credit: Connie Chornuk / Prime

Brimming with top tier talent, the Scarpetta cast is the show's sharpest weapon, led by Kidman in full, glorious, intellectual-internalised-rage mode. The physicality shared between Kidman and her '90s era counterpart, played by McEwen, is wildly convincing; the same goes for the always compelling Cannavale as Pete Marino and his '90s self, played by the actor's son, Jake Cannavale. And though this casting might be a little on the nepo baby nose, you can't argue it's not effective, especially when the Cannavales take full advantage of their lion's share of one-liners like, "Looks like our very own Ted Bundy just bought himself a polygraph."

While Bobby Cannavale almost steals the spotlight himself as the wise-cracking, deeply loyal Marino, he's battling with two fellow castmates for it: Jamie Lee Curtis and Ariana DeBose.

If there's a scene with Curtis in it, pray for her scene partners. As Kay's polar opposite, her rambunctious, flamboyant, and unfiltered sister Dorothy, Curtis is incredibly fun to watch, clad in sequins, leopard print, and dropping red hot home truths. Though they both crave control, Kay's disdainful composure clashes with Dorothy's provocative combativeness. Honestly, break out the popcorn for Kidman and Curtis (who somehow have never starred together in anything?) arguing like only sisters can, with Curtis' Dorothy demanding attention like a town crier and earnestly dropping dialogue like, "My own stallion-like spirit feels diminished by her."

DeBose, meanwhile, is superb as Lucy, Dorothy's tech savvy daughter who basically grew up parented by Kay. She's mourning her late wife (Janet Montgomery) by turning her into an AI companion. This light eyeroll of a plot device would feel like product placement for artificial intelligence's "good side" if DeBose wasn't such a talent, with her performance (as well as Curtis and Kidman's) actually making me believe this Black Mirror-style connection.

Like its protagonist, Scarpetta isn't perfect, but it's steeped in nostalgia and respect for the author who drove forensic fiction through the hallmarks we now take for granted as commonplace. With a cast this brilliant and a cliffhanger ending, Scarpetta's first season feels like the beginning of a series, Cornwell-style.

Scarpetta is streaming on Prime Video March 11.

Apples iMac could get fun Neo-like colors this year

Mashable - 3 hours 14 min ago

Silver, Blush, Citrus, and Indigo — those are the four colors that Apple's brand new affordable laptop, the MacBook Neo, now comes in.

And according to a report from Bloomberg's Apple insider Mark Gurman, Apple may also be looking into bringing a new color palette to the iMac. Gurman says that Apple plans on launching a new iMac later this year.

Apple first upgraded the iMac to its Silicon chipset in 2021 with the M1 iMacs. The company then skipped the M2 chips altogether in the iMac, and the desktop went without an upgrade in 2022. Apple then released the M3 iMac in 2024. 

Apple last upgraded its popular desktop line of computers in 2024 with the release of the iMacs with the M4 chip.

The current M4 iMac lineup is currently available in seven different colors: Green, Yellow, Orange, Pink, Purple, Blue, and Silver. 

According to Gurman, Apple is looking at a "refreshed color palette" for the iMac, which was historically known for its signature aquamarine blue.

As you can see, the current iMacs offerings come in the classic base colors, whereas Apple has opted to offer specific color shades with the MacBook Neo line. It's unclear, though, if Apple is looking to offer the exact same Neo color options for iMac as well. 

Not much is known about the iMac refresh quite yet. It is more than likely that the new iMac will come with Apple's new M5 chipset. 

Color options aside, it will be interesting to see where Apple goes in regards to pricing for the new iMacs. The all-in-one display and computer has traditionally targeted a more affordable price point. Apple raised its M5 MacBook Pro prices across the board when it launched the devices last week. The current base iMac retails for $1,299.

It's no secret that streamflation has priced out tons of subscribers. Streaming services really went overboard with their price hikes over the past few years, but every once in awhile you can still score a sweet discount. I'm always on the hunt for good streaming deals and as of March 10, this Mubi Prime Video add-on is 50% off.

Through March 21, Prime Video subscribers can add Mubi to their streaming lineup for just $7.49 per month for three months. It typically costs $14.99 per month, so over three months you'll save about $22.50.

Rather than subscribing to yet another streaming service separately, getting Mubi as a Prime Video add-on means you'll be charged for it in the same monthly streaming bill as your Prime Video or Amazon Prime membership. Plus, Mubi's content will appear within your Prime Video account. No need to download or open the Mubi app. Prime Video add-ons basically just expand your existing library.

If you've never heard of Mubi, it's a streaming service designed for cinephiles. It prides itself as the place to "discover ambitious films and series by visionary filmmakers — from iconic directors to emerging auteurs." You'll find some classics and mainstream movies, but also plenty of independent and obscure films. Mubi even has its own originals, including two of our favorites from 2025, Die My Love and The Mastermind, as well as one of our favorites from 2024, The Substance. It's also the place where you can watch Twin Peaks in its entirety, and Lili Reinhart's series Hal & Harper.

Streaming deals don't come around often. If you want to diversify your streaming lineup for less, be sure to secure this half-priced Mubi deal by March 21. And remember to cancel before your three-month promo period ends if you want to avoid paying full price.

Viral anti-masturbation app exposed sensitive user data

Mashable - 3 hours 53 min ago

A viral app to help men stop masturbating exposed thousands of users' data, 404 Media reports.

The app, Quittr, claims to be the "#1 Porn Addiction App to Quit Porn Forever" on its website. It apparently blocks porn websites on one's device, as well as tracks one's "abstinence" from porn. Quittr also has community features like groups, a "panic button" for "emergency nofap help" and even an AI therapist. ("Nofap" began as a Reddit community to stop masturbating, and experts warn against using AI for therapy.)

SEE ALSO: How to unblock Pornhub for free

"Porn addiction," like "sex addiction," isn't recognized by the DSM-5, which classifies mental disorders. While porn-viewing can be compulsive, like other behaviors, research suggests that perceived porn addiction predicted distress over actual porn use itself. Yet, the idea of "porn addiction" persists in the U.S., which lacks comprehensive sex education requirements in many states; only 37 percent of states require sex education to be medically accurate, according to Boston University.

"Porn addiction," like "sex addiction," isn't recognized by the DSM-5, which classifies mental disorders.

Meanwhile, for years, the "nofap" community on Reddit and elsewhere has purported the benefits of not ejaculating, from physical to mental boons, but there is limited research on the veracity of this.

In this environment, Quittr has thrived, with a 4.7 out of 5 rating based on around 29,000 ratings on Apple App Store, and a 4.8 out of 5 rating based on 8,400 ratings on Google Play. Its founders, Alex Slater and Connor McLaren, recently told New York Magazine that the app has been downloaded 1.5 million times and brings in $500,000 per month. (It costs users $30 per year.)

Now, 404 Media reports that Quittr leaked data about hundreds of thousands of users' masturbation habits as well as lied about its security issues.

A researcher told 404 Media that they scanned apps for a misconfiguration in apps that use the development platform Google Firebase, as that same issue was seen in the Tea app. The researcher found that Quittr had the same problem and contacted the founders about the issue, and while they said it would be fixed in an hour, it wasn't fixed for months.

Apparently, the researcher could access data for more than 600,000 users on Quittr, including 100,000 who identified as minors.

When 404 Media's Emanuel Maiberg called them, they denied there was an issue. But the misconfiguration has since been fixed, according to the report.

In Mashable's roundup of the best party speakers, the Sony ULT Tower 9 earns a honorable mention.

Plus, a 10-minute charge gives you 180 minutes of party time.

One of the downsides the Mashable lists about the speaker is its high price. But thanks to today's deal, the battery-powered model is down to the same price as the plug-in version.

"It has two built-in slots for holding wireless microphones and a karaoke feature in the Sony Sound Connect app," according to the Mashable review. "On top of that, it was top-to-bottom lights, which can be controlled with touch controls or via the app. Typically, we find that bass-boost features throw off the overall sound balance, but that's less of a problem with this behemoth than with other speakers in the ULT line."

Before the perfect spring days begin and you break out the barbecue and invite the neighbors over, upgrade your parties with the Sony ULT Tower 9 Bluetooth Karaoke Party Speaker. It's currently sitting at the lowest price we've seen in 2026 and snagging it now means you can get some practice karaoke rounds in before the first party.

Curious about curved monitors, but don't want to break the bank making the switch? Amazon's deal on the Samsung Odyssey G5 can totally transform your gaming experience for less than $300.

As of March 10, the Samsung 32-inch Odyssey G55C curved gaming monitor is down to only $249.99 at Amazon and Samsung's own website. That's 28% or $100 off its original list price of $349.99.

The 32-inch 2560x1440 QHD display features a 1000R curvature and 16:9 aspect ratio, which means the screen will wrap around your field of view. A 1000R curve is considered the ideal curve for a monitor, as it's the closest match to the human field of view, according to MSI. This helps reduce eye strain, enhances depth, and makes for a more immersive gaming experience overall. That being said, it does take some getting used to.

The Odyssey G55C monitor also features a 165Hz refresh rate, 1ms response time, AMD Radeon FreeSync, HDR10, and an eye-saver mode that reduce screen flickering and keep your eyes relaxed during extended gaming periods. It's not the most premium monitor on the market, but Samsung monitors have a solid reputation. If you're looking to upgrade to a curved monitor that can handle gaming, work, and everyday scrolling and streaming, but you're balling on a budget, this is an option well worth your consideration — especially now that it's $100 cheaper.

Sonos launches new portable speaker called Sonos Play

Mashable - 5 hours 33 min ago

Sonos, a brand known for pricy but good speakers (and other audio equipment), has mostly been in the spotlight recently due to its botched mobile app, which came out in July 2024 and was so bad that it took the company many months to fix.

Now, finally, Sonos is back to what it does best: Producing high quality speakers (amazingly, the company hasn't launched any speakers since May 2024, if you don't count the Sonos Arc Ultra soundbar). Even better, Sonos' new speakers won't burn too big of a hole in your pocket.

The first one on the menu is Sonos Play, a portable speaker that sits in between Sonos' ultra-portable Roam 2, and the hefty Move 2. Having reviewed the Move 2, I can tell you that something like Play was sorely needed; as great as it sounds, the Move 2 isn't all that portable.

Sonos Play is a portable, waterproof speaker with 24-hour battery life, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi support, a line-in jack, button controls, and a voice assistant. It offers stereo sound thanks to its dual, angled tweeters, and two bass radiators taking care of the lower sound frequencies. It also weighs 1.3 kilograms; this doesn't make it the lightest portable speaker out there, but it's a lot better than Move 2's 3 kilograms.

The other new Sonos speaker is called the Sonos Era 100 SL, and it's almost the new entry-level device in Sonos' lineup. I say almost, because at $189 it's still $10 pricier than the portable Sonos Roam 2, but it should technically offer more in terms of sound.

The Era 100 SL is a cheaper version of the Sonos Era 100, which remains a part of Sonos' lineup. It also has stereo sound, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth support, a line-in connector, and on speaker controls, but it lacks voice control. Both speakers look very similar and have dual tweeters and a woofer, so you can expect pretty much the same performance. The Era 100 SL is, simply put, the Era 100 for people who don't need voice control.

Sonos Play will become available on March 31 with a price tag of $299 (€349 in Europe). The Sonos Era 100 SL is coming on March 26 for $189 (€199 in Europe).
