The Kindle Paperwhite Kids is essentially the same as the regular Kindle Paperwhite but with some kid-friendly extras. For example, it includes six months of Amazon Kids+ (once the six months are up, it’ll cost you $5.99 per month), a durable kid-friendly cover, and a two-year worry-free warranty.

Winter can be a rough time for keeping hair healthy. Dry, cold air outside paired with dry, hot air inside when trying to get warm isn't the best combination for our scalp or locks. If your hair is calling out for help while counting down the day until warmth and moisture return, check out this Presidents' Day sale deal at Amazon.

As of Feb. 17, the Shark FlexStyle air styling and drying system is on sale at Amazon for $209.99 with the on-page coupon, discounted from the normal price of $299.99. That's a savings of $90 from a 30% discount. Currently, a refurbished model at Amazon is selling for $223.56 which means this deal for a brand new Shark FlexStyle is better than buying a used model.

We've come a long way in terms of hair dryers in the last decade. While we used to struggle with heat damage and hair getting sucked into the back of the dryer, modern hair dryers offer so much more.

The frontrunner was the Dyson Airwrap but since it typically costs about $600, not everyone was sold. Thankfully we have some great Dyson Airwrap dupes on the market these days and the Shark FlexStyle is the Mashable favorite.

Mashable Shopping Reporter Bethany Allard reviewed the Shark FlexStyle, noting it's a nearly identical experience to the Dyson Airwrap but with a much friendlier price tag. One of the only things Allard prefers with the Dyson is its included case. But when we compare prices, the Shark clearly wins.

This Amazon bundle includes the hair dryer brush, multi-styler with auto-wrap curlers, paddle brush, oval brush, and concentrator attachment.

Be sure to clip the on-page coupon to bring the Shark FlexStyle down to just $209.99 during Amazon's Presidents' Day sale.

The new iPhone SE expected to launch this week might not be called the iPhone SE 4, as reports have taken to calling it.

Bloomberg's Mark Gurman believes the newest version of the budget-friendly iPhone will be rebranded to fit with the iPhone 16 series, instead of continuing with the "SE" naming convention. This fits with leaker Majin Bu's claim in late December, 2024 (via MacRumors) that it will be called the iPhone 16E, or some variation with "16" and "E" in the name.

Apple CEO Tim Cook may have hinted at this when he announced the Feb. 19 launch on X, saying, "get ready to meet the newest member of the family." This suggests the new iPhone SE will be marketed as a lower-cost addition to the iPhone 16 lineup.

Based on rumors from Apple insiders, the new device is equipped with the same A18 chip that powers the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus. "Given how drastic the overhaul is to the iPhone SE, a new name makes complete sense," said Gurman in his newsletter.

With the same chip as the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus models, the new device (let's call it the iPhone 16E) will have Apple Intelligence features. Exactly, which features are unclear at this point, but the iPhone 16 and 16 Plus have AI-summarized notifications, AI writing tools for generating and summarizing messages and emails, and the new Genmoji feature for creating your own emojis with AI. Apple Intelligence also has the new and improved Siri, and access to ChatGPT through a partnership with OpenAI. So, it's safe to expect at least some, if not all of these features for what's to come on Wednesday.

The iPhone 16E will also reportedly have a 6.1 inch display, up from the 2022 iPhone SE 3's 4.7 inch display which was the last time this model was released. While it is rumored to have an updated design, the iPhone 16E will reportedly still have the camera notch instead of the Dynamic Island, and a single rear-facing camera. Gurman says it will costs around $500, compared to the iPhone 16 which starts at $799.

Whatever the name and specs end up being, we only have to wait until Wednesday for the official confirmation.

A more emotionally charged song than his ode to his car or Thanksgiving, Adam Sandler's SNL 50th anniversary song was a moving moment dedicated to the show and its cast.

During Sunday's show, the comedian and SNL cast member during the '90s played a tribute to the general shenanigans of being on the show, from cue card mess-ups to prank-calling a New York Magazine critic. But despite the jokes, it's a generally heartfelt nod to 50 years of a show that gave Sandler (and so many more stars) his break.

A piece of shit car, this is not.

SNL's 50th anniversary special is a time for celebration, right? Not on Debbie Downer's watch.

On Sunday, Rachel Dratch brought back her iconic SNL character who loves to ruin occasions with home truths nobody wants to hear — and this time, the audience was Ayo Edebiri, Drew Barrymore, Robert De Niro, and Jimmy Fallon.

Attempting to get a drink at Debbie's bar, the celebrities were regaled with the realities of alcohol, endangered rhinos, and gout. Classic.

SNL's 50th anniversary show was absolutely full of stars and musical numbers, but none more stacked than the clip above.

Former cast members Pete Davidson and David Spade are taken through time by hot dog salesman (John Mulaney) for a Broadway-inspired scan of the city's signature characteristics — and it's a wild ride.

Maya Rudolph and Adam Driver sing a Fame-inspired song dressed as a syringe and a hot dog; Nathan Lane rehashes his own "Hakuna Matata" as a song about cocaine; Jason Sudeikis and Will Forte belt out a spin on Les Misérables "Look Down" over Jenna Ortega and Kevin Costner while Kristen Wiig dreams a dream as the green M&M.

Kate McKinnon dances as disgraced New York mayor Rudy Giuliani, performing a Hamilton number with Lin-Manuel Miranda; and Scarlett Johansson channels Audrey from "Little Shop of Horrors" to roast her SNL star husband Colin Jost.

That "One Day More" style finale? Absolute chaos.
