Bad Bunny's halftime show at the Super Bowl made waves even among porn watchers. During the game, Pornhub's traffic crashed the hardest not during the (admittedly snoozy) four quarters, but during the Benito Bowl.

Compared to an average Sunday, Pornhub's traffic dropped 46 percent at 8:31 p.m. ET — right around the ending of Bad Bunny's performance. The big dip began between 8:11 and 8:19, and according to Men's Journal, the halftime show started at 8:12. Football and non-football fans alike turned off explicit content for a few minutes to tune in.

Despite the Patriots' performance, Massachusetts fans had a bigger drop-off on Pornhub around halftime than fans in the Seahawks' home state of Washington: Massachusetts traffic was 44 percent below average at that time, while Washington's was only 14 percent below average. Once the game was over, though, Pornhub traffic in The Bay State crept up to 15 percent above average — maybe they were soothing their loss. Washington fans were celebrating, with traffic at a one percent below average at the same time.

Surprisingly, Pornhub traffic in Bad Bunny's home of Puerto Rico had a smaller dip below average during halftime (29 percent below an average Sunday).

Overall, the decline in Pornhub traffic during the Big Game was pretty typical. According to this graph from the tube site, it usually sees a 15 to 28 drop in traffic during those times. This year's game was somewhere in the middle (24 percent). Considering it wasn't the most exciting game of football, it's no wonder that most locked in to see Bad Bunny.

If you want a glimpse at how far AI video generation has come since 2023, look no further than the "Will Smith eating spaghetti" test, which has basically become the Hello World of generative AI.

In a video from a Reddit user on the r/OpenAI subreddit, the post shows the evolution of the test — from its humble beginnings as a monstrous, pixelated mess to something far more cinematic, even if you can still tell it’s AI. This version was made using the Kling 3.0 video generator, developed by Chinese tech company Kuaishou Technology. In it, Will Smith is seen at a dinner table not just eating spaghetti, but actually talking with a younger man seated across from him.

Reddit Reddit

They discuss the capabilities of Kling AI to create videos like the one you’re watching, making it pretty clear that this is an ad. Still, it offers a striking look at just how much generative video has matured in a remarkably short period of time. Three years isn’t that long — though, in AI terms, it kind of is.

If you recall, the very first version of AI Will Smith eating spaghetti was made with ModelScope and could barely keep the actor’s face consistent from one frame to the next. By the following year, the video — and countless variations of it — had taken off as a meme, to the point that Smith himself poked fun at it, before later being caught using generative AI for a TikTok video of his own. Here's an example of the test in Veo 3.1 from last year.

Among today’s major players in video generation, like Grok and OpenAI, passing the spaghetti test has become much harder. These companies have put extremely strict guardrails in place around third-party likenesses and copyrighted material, especially as Hollywood continues to crack down on AI models trained on its IP.

Mashable attempted to recreate the test using OpenAI’s Sora and Google Gemini’s Veo 3.1, but both attempts were denied on copyright grounds. For now, it seems that as more AI generators — particularly U.S.-based ones — pull back on the use of third-party likenesses, the spaghetti test may finally be nearing the end of the line.

TikTok loves labeling food. Remember Girl Dinner, which was basically a snacky meal? Or Slop Bowls, which effectively amount to the offerings at places like Cava or Sweetgreen? Well, guess what? Now we have Boy Kibble.

Yes, it is another silly name for relatively normal food. If there's anything TikTok loves, it's branding.

What is Boy Kibble?

In short: Boy Kibble is mostly ground beef over rice. Typically speaking, a kibble recipe involves lean ground beef over white rice. And, to be fair to the name, that pretty much is kibble. It's basic, lean protein and some carbs, as simple as could be, but effective. Naturally, folks mix in veggies or other nutritious additions — others go really wild and substitute chicken or turkey for beef — but the idea is to create a simple, easily repeatable, healthy meal. It should feel as easy as pouring kibble into your dog's bowl.

To be clear, Boy Kibble isn't just for men, just as Girl Dinner wasn't only for women. It's really just a clever branding for a meal that Gym People have been eating for ages. It's a simple meal with very little cooking experience needed. Though even an accomplished chef like Matty Matheson made his version of kibble.

So that's it, really: Boy Kibble or Human Kibble is just a protein-filled, no-fuss meal. It's diet food for gym-goers. But hey, there far worse meals than beef, veggies, and rice.

During Bad Bunny's Super Bowl Halftime Show, millions of viewers experienced the performance together — cheering in living rooms, filming on their phones, and reacting in real time. But for those of Latin American descent, hearing their home countries named out loud during Benito's grand finale made the moment especially meaningful.

In his closing act, Bad Bunny transformed the stage into a celebration of the Americas. Dancers carried flags from countries across North, Central, and South America, while a massive screen behind him flashed messages like "The only thing more powerful than hate is love." He capped the roll call of nations with a declaration that "together, we are America," framing the finale as a moment of shared identity and joy.

For those watching at home, the emotion didn't end when the music stopped. Viewers immediately took to social media to document their reactions, sharing clips of their friends and families cheering, hugging, and erupting with pride when their countries were named — turning a televised performance into a collective celebration.

Together, these clips formed a digital mosaic of diaspora, stitched from small, intimate moments across phone screens and time zones. Each video captured the same feeling: that for a few minutes, home — wherever it was — didn't feel so far away.

Mashable's shopping team has spent quite a bit of time with Ultimate Ears Bluetooth speakers and we're big fans. We love the Hyperboom and Epicboom, but the itty bitty Wonderboom is one of our absolute favorites. If you're in the market for a portable Bluetooth speaker, we highly recommend this tiny powerhouse — especially when it's on sale.

As of Feb. 10, the Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 4 is down to just $69.99 at Amazon. That's 30% off its list price of $99.99 and just 10 bucks shy of its best-ever price from Black Friday.

Our favorite sub-$100 Bluetooth speaker, the Wonderboom 4 fits in the palm of your hand but offers surprisingly balanced and powerful sound. As Shopping Reporter Bethany Allard noted in our roundup, "the sound profile is well-rounded and can get loud."

It can last up to 14 hours on a full charge, handles drops from up to five feet like a champ, and can be submerged in water for up to half an hour. We do wish it offered a companion app to customize the sound profile, but for a ultra-portable no-frills speaker, it's an excellent value.

If you're in the market for a new pair of expensive earbuds, Sony may have some good news for you.

A new leak published by Dealabs (courtesy of Android Authority) revealed some alleged details of Sony's upcoming XM6 earbuds, which are supposed to get the grand rollout this week. Following a retailer leak that provided the first images of the headphones, this new leak gives us an idea of what the specs and price will look like.

We'll start with the latter: These headphones will reportedly cost $329.99 in the United States. That's a lot of money, but the specs might help justify it.

This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed. SEE ALSO: Sony ULT Wear headphones are over $100 off at Amazon — score these stellar headphones for under $150

For instance, the new QN3e processor is said to be three times faster than the previous WF-1000XM5 model, released almost three years ago. The speaker and amplifier have also gotten upgrades, while Sony has added two more adaptive microphones for a total of eight. On top of that, 360-degree audio with head tracking, better air flow, and more equalizer bands are also said to be part of the deal.

Sony has been on a little bit of a hot streak with headphones lately, as our reviewer Tim Werth really dug the XM6 over-ear headphones last year. Mashable reviewers have also been impressed by the newly launched Sony LinkBuds Clip open earbuds. Here's hoping the XM6 earbuds reach the same level of quality.

First, the EU's Digital Markets Act (DMA) regulations forced Apple and Google to make their platforms fairer. Now, it appears that the UK's Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) will be extracting similar changes from Apple and Google too.

The CMA designated Apple and Google with "strategic market status" or SMS in mobile platforms last year, saying that the companies had an "effective duopoly" over the market in the UK. Under this designation, the CMA is allowed to introduce measures to demand changes to the platforms to ensure "fair dealing, open choices or trust and transparency."

Now, the CMA says it has "secured commitments" from both Apple and Google regarding their app stores.

According to the CMA, Apple and Google have agreed to make sure their app review processes for Apple's App Store and the Google Play store do not discriminate against mobile applications that compete with their own apps.

The CMA's commitments that the two Big Tech companies have agreed to include "fair, objective, and transparent" review of apps submitted to the app stores, and fair app rankings that do not give the company's own apps an unfair advantage. Apple and Google have also agreed to not use the data it collects for an unfair advantage. In addition, Apple has agreed to consider providing app developers with "interoperable access to features and functionality within Apple’s mobile operating systems."

These commitments will come into effect in April, according to the CMA.

Most interestingly, however, for developers around the world will be the data Apple and Google said it will provide to the CMA, which the CMA will make public. This data includes the "proportion of apps submitted for review, approved, rejected and appealed" and the time taken for app review. Some app developers have complained about the long wait times for the app store review process over the years, so this data should be valuable to them. Apple and Google will also provide the CMA with the number of complaints received and what the outcome of those are, as well as interoperability requests received and the outcome of those requests.

“Following designation of Apple and Google’s mobile platforms in October last year, the CMA has moved swiftly to secure a package of commitments from Apple and Google that will boost the UK’s app economy, giving developers the opportunity and confidence they need to invest and innovate," CMA Chief Executive Sarah Cardell.

Apple and Google both welcomed the changes in statements provided to the BBC.

Let's face it: no one likes vacuuming their floors. If that's a task you're thoroughly fed up with and don't want to deal with any longer, you're in luck. You can outsource it to a robot vacuum. You don't have to spend an arm and a leg on doing so either, especially when this particular model is on sale for a great price at Amazon.

This particular model boasts 22,000 Pa of suction with a zero tangling system, ultra-slm build, and a special arm to reach out and clean nooks and crannies. It can empty its own reservoir, and it specializes in both corner and edge cleaning, areas you might have difficulty reaching yourself with a normal vacuum. Plus, it can more than handle itself with its navigation system that helps it avoid obstacles while mapping out your home.

Mashable's Leah Stodart praised the vacuum for its ability to "never get lost" while claning as well as its quiet operation, livestream pet camera, and "impeccable" corner sweeping and mopping.

"[...] the Saros 10R is a wickedly well-rounded robot vacuum that would be a totally satisfactory upgrade in a lot of homes, especially ones with a lot of hard floors," Stodart wrote. "Its suction power and mopping work together in tandem to achieve results more reliable than what I've ever experienced, even if its work on low pile rugs hasn't been as exceptional as I'd expect for a premium vac."

If that sounds like your type of robot vacuum, get yours fast before the price goes back up to normal.

The 2026 Sundance Film Festival has come to an end, but our excitement over the movies we saw there burns hot even in these frigid times! So, what are the best films of Sundance 2026?

Entertainment Editor Kristy Puchko watched a slew of movies through Sundance's online streaming platform. Then, she sat down on our Say More couch to share her five favorites.

5. Mum, I'm Alien Pregnant

This New Zealand comedy from the directing duo THUNDERLIPS (aka Sean Wallace and Jordan Mark Windsor) centers on a surly millennial underachiever (Hannah Lynch) whose hasty hook-up with an awkward neighbor (Arlo Green) leads to — well — getting alien pregnant. See, he's part alien, which explains why his junk is pretty otherworldly. But from this unintended pregnancy spirals a comedy about motherhood that's hilarious, subversive, pretty gross, and surprisingly heartwarming.*

SEE ALSO: 'Mum, I'm Alien Pregnant' review: Body horror meets Kiwi comedy in this absolutely outrageous sci-fi gem 4. Everybody to Kenmure Street

If you're in need of a sign that a single act of solidarity can make a big difference, you'll relish the documentary Everybody to Kenmure Street. Documentarian Felipe Bustos Sierra looks back on at a spontaneous protest that arose in Glasgow, Scotland, in May of 2021. There, the UK Home Office conducted a raid that targeted two Muslim men, whose capture and possible deportation were stopped by the non-violent intervention of their neighbors. How did it go down? And what does Emma Thompson have to do with it? Watch the video above to find out.

Notably, Kenmure Street earned a special prize at Sundance: World Cinema Documentary Special Jury Award for Civil Resistance.

SEE ALSO: 10 movies out of Sundance 2026 you should know about right now 3. Run Amok

Sundance comedies got dark this year. A great example is writer/director NB Mager's Run Amok, which focuses on a group of high schoolers who try to process the trauma of a school shooting through song and dance. The story centers on nerdy harp enthusiast Meg (Alyssa Marvin), whose mother was killed in a school shooting ten years before — at the very high school she's now attending. Offered a chance to perform to create a group catharsis for the tragedy, Meg turns to a motley crew of theater kids to develop the perfect presentation. But as they bounce through acting exercises and problematic uses of pop songs, they get pushback from grown-ups on the appropriate way to process pain. A compelling and oddball coming-of-age comedy, Run Amok is a gem.

2. The Incomer

Winner of the NEXT Innovator Award, The Incomer is a curious tale of folklore, culture conflict, and burgeoning attraction. Written and directed by Louis Paxton, the comedy begins with a grown brother (Grant O’Rourke) and sister (Gayle Rankin), who've spent the past 30 years on a Scottish island alone. Then the "incomer" arrives. He (Domhnall Gleeson) is a timid office drone tasked with serving them an eviction notice and a ride back to mainland Scotland. Little can he predict the dramatic (and hilarious) response such a pronouncement will spark. Comic violence, awkward rituals, and animated stories come into play as these three find shaky common ground, and ultimately a perfectly offbeat happy ending.

1. Josephine

Among critics, Josephine is easily the most buzzed-about title out of Sundance. Written and directed by Beth de Araújo, this drama focuses on an 8-year-old girl named Josephine (Mason Reeves) who witnesses a sexual assault in a local park. From there, de Araújo explores how a child copes with such trauma through showing Josephine recreating what she saw through play, acting out at school, and imagining the rapist casually invading her home. Beyond exploring her experience through cinematography that frequently binds us to the child's visual perspective, the filmmaker also exposes how her parents (Gemma Chan and Channing Tatum) struggle to explain rape culture to their little girl. Not a tear-jerker but a nuanced family drama that's ripe in emotional intelligence and thought-provoking sequences, Josephine is a hard watch and a must-see.

The company has been testing its autonomous vehicles in the city for a while, having announced the launch in Nashville back in September 2025. Now, Waymo announced that it's testing its robotaxis without a human safety driver, which is typically the last step before the service launches for everyone.

Waymo plans to initially offer rides in Nashville through its Waymo One app. The company partnered with Lyft for the launch in Nashville, and Waymo's autonomous robotaxis should become available through Lyft's app down the line, too.

Waymo plans to rapidly expand its robotaxi service throughout 2026, both in the U.S. and abroad. The Alphabet-owned company recently took a monster, $16 billion financing round and announced plans to expand to more than 20 new cities in 2026.

Waymo most recently launched in Miami, and was also spotted testing its service in London.

Mario Tennis Fever makes a good argument that less can be more in the context of family-friendly sports games.

The Nintendo Switch 2-exclusive title from Nintendo and longtime series developer Camelot Software feels like the product of everyone taking a good, long look at Mario Tennis Aces for the Switch and realizing it had too much going on. While I enjoyed the audacity of that game's fighting game-esque complexities, it ultimately felt alienating to me (and presumably other people of my disposition) because the skill ceiling was too high to realistically enjoy online play once you ran out of solo experiences.

Fever, seemingly as a response to that, gives the player a little bit less to worry about over the course of a match, which lets the still-very-fun basic tennis mechanics shine more. All of that works in tandem with a fun story mode that does a great job of tutorializing Fever's intricacies and enough secondary modes to keep Fever fun at almost any level of engagement.

Mario Tennis Fever is, to its credit, not particularly ambitious in terms of what it offers out of the box. There's a single-player adventure mode that most people will probably finish in fewer than 10 hours, a challenge tower mode that provides a series of matches with unique conditions that escalate in difficulty, and a respectable selection of multiplayer options for both traditional tennis matches and wacky party game nonsense.

I imagine the adventure mode will be of great interest to many readers, given that the series has a history of quality solo offerings (particularly in handheld entries) with RPG-like character development and bespoke challenges that creatively make use of tennis mechanics and rules. That's more or less what Camelot put in Fever. Its paper-thin story involves Mario and friends being turned into babies by a mysterious evil force, at which point they have to learn how to play tennis again so they can defeat their adversary and become adults. Mario (the main playable character in this mode) gains experience levels after each challenge, though admittedly, your growing skill as a player feels more meaningful than any quantitative changes gained from leveling.

It's not an extraordinarily long story mode by any stretch of the imagination. The pacing can feel a little odd at the start, given that you're at a tennis academy learning the basics for at least an hour to kick things off. This turns out to be necessary, though, because everything afterward is a further test of your skill. Puzzles and boss fights regularly require the player to hit the ball to certain areas of the court to succeed, making the adventure mode as a whole feel like an extended learning experience, even after you get out of the academy.

It isn't the most mind-blowing story mode in a sports game I've ever seen, but it is fun, and I recommend playing as much of it as you can before jumping into anything else because it is a genuinely useful tool for getting better at Mario Tennis Fever. I also dig the core concept of the adventure mode: that tennis is the main way to solve any problems, big or small, in this world. That's a funny conceit.

As for the tennis itself, as I mentioned previously, it's been pared down in complexity from what was present in Aces. That game had a special move meter you had to manage, alongside rackets having their own HP bar and other contrivances that made it surprisingly sweaty and skillful for a children's tennis game. I don't think that was bad, necessarily, but it did put a hard ceiling on how enjoyable it was to play against other human beings, especially over the internet.

Fever makes what I would say is the right call by putting the player's focus almost solely on tennis. Different characters have different archetypes (speedy, defensive, etc.), and there are new Fever Rackets that have special abilities that I'll get to in a second, but for the most part, Fever is a game about hitting a ball back and forth. Each of the four face buttons does a different type of hit, and certain button combinations or types of timing will perform more advances shots like lobs and drop shots. It's very easy to wrap your head around once you've played for an hour or so.

There is still a meter to manage here, though it's exceptionally simple. It's used for Fever Shots, a new type of shot that, when performed, briefly slows down time, giving the player a chance to aim a very fast-moving shot. When using Fever Rackets, this shot will take on whatever effect is attached to whichever racket you've chosen. One of them creates a field of damaging fire (you can run out of HP, which makes you move slower for a while), another makes you briefly faster and invincible, yet another creates a shadow clone that hits back shots you can't, and so on. These add a good amount of strategy and variety to the proceedings, and I think it's crucial that they're all activated the same way, using a meter that doesn't require any kind of advanced management techniques. You either have the ability to do a Fever Shot, or you don't, at which point you probably will soon because the meter fills up automatically.

I find that this is about the correct level of mechanical depth for a Mario Tennis game. Aces was ambitious, but it quickly became kind of overwhelming if you didn't want to be hardcore about it. Fever, on the other hand, has a learning curve that can be overcome fairly quickly, so you can reasonably expect newcomers to have a good time in casual multiplayer settings.

As I said earlier, the adventure mode is over pretty quickly. The challenge tower mode adds some more single-player meat to the bone, but that too seems like something you can clear out within a week or two of purchase if you feel up to it. As a solo experience, Fever probably won't keep you engaged for dozens or hundreds of hours. You'll either need people to play with locally, or enough bravery to duke it out with others online. I did play a bit of the game online during the review period and can confirm that it works as expected, so this seems like a totally viable way to enjoy Fever, especially now that Nintendo offers comprehensive voice chat.

My only real complaint about the multiplayer is that some of the modes are gimmicky. In particular, there are some more party game-esque modes that are fun to do only once or twice. One of them, inspired by Super Mario Bros. Wonder, adds ridiculous and random conditions to the match, like asking players to hit floating animals back and forth at each other. Another replaces traditional tennis scoring with rings that you have to hit the ball through for points. These are decent ideas that work OK in practice, but I can't see myself playing them over the actual tennis modes on a regular basis.

Still, when it comes to regular tennis, the variety of characters, Fever Rackets, and even courts that offer variable surfaces that change up ball speed means that there's plenty to experiment with. I should also take a moment to mention that Fever, like other first-party Switch 2 games, is gorgeous to look at. It also performs flawlessly.

Ultimately, Mario Tennis Fever may not be remarkable, but that's fine. I appreciate what previous Mario sports games like Aces did to stand out, but ultimately, I just want to play tennis. If you dig tennis video games, this is a pretty good one, and that's really all you can ask for.
