If you’re watching Super Bowl LX live right now, you’re in for another epic run of ads. Besides seeing the Seahawks vs. Patriots matchup, we are taking in movie teasers, funny app promos (looking at you, Ben Stiller) and food commercials on our TVs (or phone). The night isn’t done yet, so be ready for more companies to crank out their campaigns.
We’ve gathered a small roundup for you — including those featuring artificial intelligence and Supergirl’s pop-up for Puppy Bowl. While some of these are full-length commercials meant to make you laugh, feel inspired or question what’s creepy, some are short teasers that will pique your curiosity (hey there, Jigglypuff).
Get into The Mandalorian and Grogu, Ken (without Barbie), 50 Cent and much more, and stick with us all night for even more Big Game ad reveals.

Of the 16 sports that will be featured at the Winter Olympics, there will be 15 returning favorites, including figure skating, Alpine skiing, curling, ice hockey, speedskating, snowboarding, freestyle skiing and ski jumping, and one entirely new sport, snow mountaineering.

The often-rumored budget MacBook is still expected to arrive at some point in the first half of 2026, as Apple prepares to compete directly with Chromebooks.
The MacBook should be cheaper than the MacBook Air at launch
Rumors have repeatedly insisted that Apple will bring out a MacBook with an iPhone chip running the show instead of an M-series chip. As more forecasts come in, it seems the rumor mill is more insistent than ever that it will launch this year. The latest volley, coming from Mark Gurman’s “Power On” newsletter for Bloomberg on Sunday, the MacBook will be the centerpiece Mac launch for early 2026. Gurman doesn’t offer much new about the model, recapping previous claims about it, but he also doesn’t narrow down the timing to beyond the first six months of the year.

A march supporting California’s billionaires didn’t exactly attract a huge crowd on Saturday — the San Francisco Chronicle counted around three dozen attendees, along with another dozen tongue-in-cheek counter-protesters.
To be fair, organizer Derik Kauffman had predicted attendance of only “a few dozen” beforehand. But the incongruous idea of the “March for Billionaires” has provoked an outsized response on social media. And according to Mission Local, journalists nearly outnumbered demonstrators at the event itself, where marchers carried signs with messages like “We ❤️ You Jeffrey Bezos” and “It’s very difficult to write a nuanced argument on a sign.”
The ostensible reason for the demonstration was to protest the Billionaire Tax Act, a proposed state ballot measure that would require Californians worth more than $1 billion to pay a one-time, 5% tax on their total wealth. If the measure actually passes, Governor Gavin Newsom said he will veto it.
Kauffman, who founded the AI startup RunRL and is not a billionaire himself, told reporters, “California is, I believe, the only state to give health insurance to people who come into the country illegally. I think we probably should not be providing that.” (Fourteen states offer health care to undocumented immigrants.)
One of the constants in consumer electronics is that designers will try to put as many features into a single device as possible, whether it’s a Walkman with a radio tuner or a new class of devices that crams a photo and video camera in the same enclosure as a music player. At the time that the Kodak MC3 was released this made it a rather unique device, with it in hindsight being basically a smartphone without the phone, as [Tech Tangents] aptly notes in his recent video on the device.
Six years before Apple’s iPhone would be announced, and eight years before the first iPod with a video camera, the Kodak MC3 was in many respects bleeding edge technology targeted straight at tech enthusiasts. For less than $300 you got VGA-quality images, CompactFlash storage, and MP3 playback capability. The videos it produced were 320×240 resolution, h.263 encoded MOVs with a maximum length of 4 seconds at 20 FPS, or 4 minutes with a 64 MB CF card.
The unit that [Tech Tangents] got used came with a 128 MB CF card, but couldn’t use a 2 GB CF card, which is a shame. The screen on it got a lot of flak for not not having a backlight, but this was common for the era, as were the poor viewing angles. Ditto for the poor video quality, as anyone who invested in consumer digital cameras in the early 2000s can attest to. In that respect this Kodak device was probably a bit too ambitious with its features for the era, maybe to compensate for it completely missing the boat on the rise of digital camera technology around the time.
The Super Bowl gifted us a new trailer for the upcoming Star Wars movie, The Mandalorian and Grogu, and for that fact alone, we’re truly thankful. Pedro Pascal is back as Din Djarin (aka the Mandalorian), along with Grogu — or I suppose you could still call him Baby Yoda or The Child.
It’s been three years since season 3 of The Mandalorian ended on Disney Plus, so Mando’s return is a welcome one. The Mandalorian and Grogu will find the duo doing what they do best: Being best buds while traveling the galaxy. There’s a catch, though. They’ve been enlisted to protect the New Republic. The Galactic Empire may have fallen, but there are insidious evil-doers out there who threaten this new era of peace.
Sigourney Weaver also stars alongside The Bear’s Jeremy Allen White, who plays Rotta the Hutt (the son of Jabba), and Jonny Coyne, who plays an Imperial Warlord who leads a crew of those looking to keep the evil glory of the Galactic Empire alive.

Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu was directed by Jon Favreau, who co-wrote the script with Dave Filoni. It’ll premiere in theaters on Friday, May 22.
The Mophie 3-in-1 Travel Charger with MagSafe, priced at $40 (was $150), sits quietly on your nightstand, desk, or kitchen counter, charging three devices simultaneously without taking up too much space. People who use this charger frequently reach for it, even when they are not on a trip. A few days in, it’s easy to see why: it just makes sense to have one compact accessory that can handle all of your gadgets rather than a mess of cables and individual pads scattered about.
When folded up, the charger is incredibly compact, measuring 3.3 by 3.1 by 1 inches and weighing less than half a pound, allowing it to nestle neatly in a drawer or backpack without being noticed. When you open it, you’ll find three small spaces waiting to be filled: one magnetic pad for your iPhone, a flip-up module for your Apple Watch, and a flat bit for your AirPods or AirPods Pro.
Mophie developed the entire thing with MagSafe in mind, and it’s also Qi2 certified, so any iPhone 12 series and up will just snap into place securely. That connection provides up to 15 watts of wireless power, quickly charging your phone from dead to “good enough to get through breakfast or a quick meeting.” The Apple Watch spot supports fast charging and even allows you to put it up in nightstand mode if desired. AirPods simply sit on the third pad and deliver up to 5 watts; it’s not rocket science, but it’s consistent and reliable.
The package includes a 40-watt wall converter, a USB-C cable, and a set of international plug heads for outlets in the United States, United Kingdom, Europe, and Australia. People who travel will undoubtedly appreciate the global coverage, but the converter also works well for powering the charger at home. The entire package folds flat into a small travel pouch that keeps everything neat and safe.
Just set it on the bedside table, drop your iPhone on the MagSafe pad, flip up the Watch charger and pop the AirPods case below. By morning, everything is charged and you can just pick up your phone and go, with no miles of cables strewn across the bed to tangle in. Plus, the elevated iPhone pad is nicely oriented, allowing you to view your phone screen in landscape mode, which is a great small convenience.
VMware Workstation Pro 25H2 focuses on platform updates, adding USB 3.2 support, newer virtual hardware, improved Hyper-V detection, and compatibility with recent Linux releases like Debian 13, Fedora 42, and RHEL 10, plus a new dictTool utility for working with configuration files.
A very inexpensive and highly effective small modification you can make to your car, at least from a visual standpoint, is to debadge it. As the name implies, this involves removing the factory badging, typically on the rear hatch or trunk lid. You can either remove all the badging or just the trim level and model designations. As well as cleaning up the rear end and making it look nicer, you can also potentially mask up if you have one of the lower-end powertrains or trim levels for your particular car model, although you shouldn’t be embarrassed about that.
On occasion, some car owners also completely remove the front badging. Whether that means simply removing the badge or installing an aftermarket grille insert without it, a completely badgeless car is not uncommon. For the most part, debadging your car is 100% legal — you won’t face any repercussions for removing the SEL badge from your stock Jetta with GLI bumpers.

Why is it actually legal to debadge a car?
Because the badging on a car’s exterior is purely for marketing and identification, it is completely legal to remove it. Only intentionally removing — or in some cases, adding — badging to make your car look like a different car because of various shady reasons can get you in trouble, but if you’re doing it for cosmetic purposes, you’re totally fine.
Advertisement
Depending on what you drive, it might be a more or less involved process to remove the badges. Most older cars had screwed-in badges, which would require you to unscrew them, but then you’d be left with a cutout for a badge and two screw holes in the bodywork, which would have to be patched up.
Mercifully, most modern cars have glued-on badging; a little bit of heat and a very careful use of a plastic wedge or a string, then another wipe-down should give you that clean, debadged look. Just be careful when removing it, as it’s easy to damage the paint. Some people wax the area after the badging is removed, and you should err on the side of caution with that as well, since it might eat into the clearcoat. If you do decide on the car wax, make sure you get the right one.
Also, don’t get them confused — shaving the bodywork is different from debadging. While debadging simply involves removing all the exterior markings, shaving is often a much more involved process that requires smoothing out areas of the bodywork — often door handles and molding strips — to make them look as if they were never there. In any case, if you do decide to hide the fact that your Civic Si is an Si, you definitely won’t get in trouble with the law.
