The Kevin Costner-led original ended its run after a relatively compact five seasons, but that doesn't reckon with the three official spin-offs, the three others in development, nor with the Sheridan shows (Landman, The Madison, Bass Reeves) that feel like they could extensions of the Yellowstone universe, even if they technically aren't. But given that success only feeds our appetite for more, here are 15 other shows that play with the themes and tones that have made Yellowstone such a phenomenon. The Madison (2026 – ) …

If the cost of signing up for a Spartan Race or Tough Mudder has ever given you pause, good news: You can now use your Health Savings Account (HSA) or Flexible Spending Account (FSA) funds to cover race registration fees. Spartan has partnered with Flex, a platform that enables HSA/FSA payments across fitness and wellness brands, to make this possible. How using your FSA to pay for a race worksA quick refresher on how HSA and FSA accounts work: Both are funded with pre-tax dollars, meaning the money goes into them before the IRS takes its cut. When you spend those funds on a qualifying purchase, you're effectively getting a discount equal to your tax rate. For most people…

In a post on its community blog today, Meta announced the timeline for the shutdown of Horizon Worlds for VR users. The Horizon Worlds app and related Events will disappear from Quest headsets by March 31, and VR users will no longer be able to use the social hub at all after June 15, 2026. Horizon Worlds will continue, Meta says, but only for mobile users. “We are separating the two platforms so each can grow with greater focus, and the Horizon Worlds platform will become a mobile-only experience,” the company explained in the post. “This separation will extend across our ecosystem, including our mobile app.” Horizon Worlds launched in 2021 as a VR-only platform where u…

Apple's next big update, iOS 26.4, is nearly here. While it won't include the company's long-awaited AI Siri upgrade, you will find new emojis, AI-generated playlists in Apple Music, and support for end-to-end encryption for RCS. But perhaps most welcome of all, to at least some iOS users, is one key patch: Apple is finally fixing the iPhone's buggy keyboard. iOS 26.4 patches this iPhone keyboard glitchIn the release notes for iOS 26.4's Release Candidate, Apple lists many of the new additions we've already seen in previous beta updates. But buried at the bottom of Apple's list of "enhancements" is the following: "Improved keyboard accuracy when typing quickly." That's..…

We may earn a commission from links on this page. When digital music first started popping off, the vast majority of us didn't care all that much about audio quality. Some of the less, erm, legal methods of downloading music offered horrific quality audio, while even the best options at the same (i.e., iTunes) only supported MP3, a relatively low-quality codec. Times have changed: While most of us still aren't necessarily audiophiles, we do expect high-quality tracks from the streaming services we use—especially if we pay for them. It might not be the "gold standard," but streaming sounds great, even with wireless headphones. But there is a clear ceiling in audio qualit…

Whether you love to garden or take pride in an immaculately landscaped space ideal for entertaining (or both), creating and maintaining a beautiful outdoor area for you and your family to enjoy adds immeasurable value to your property and quality of life. If your family includes some beloved pets who also enjoy your outdoor spaces, however, you have to be careful when it comes to the plants you choose for your garden or landscaping. There are a lot of plants that are safe for humans that can poison our furry friends, so being deliberate in your choices when planning out the garden or laying out your landscaping is a must if pets are going to be allowed outside. Here are s…

Security updates aren't as flashy or fun as feature updates, but they're just as important—if not more—to install. They include patches for vulnerabilities in your device's OS that could leave you open to hacking. By patching these weak points as quickly as possible, you reduce the risk to your device and its data. Traditionally, Apple has largely kept its security updates tied to its general software releases, both big and small. Rather than release iOS 26 and a subsequent security patch, Apple just couples the two. Even if you don't (or can't) update to the latest iOS, Apple will add the most important patches to new updates of older iOS versions (e.g. iOS 18.7.6, or i…

Samsung’s 32-inch Smart Monitor M9 (M90SF) is down to $1,299.99 on Amazon, a drop from $1,599.99 and its lowest price so far, according to price trackers. It is still expensive for a 32-inch display, but this is not a typical monitor. Samsung is positioning it somewhere between a premium display, a smart TV, and a casual gaming setup. PCMag rated it “excellent,” noting how well it balances work and play. Samsung 32'' Smart Monitor M9 (M90SF) …

We may earn a commission from links on this page. Peloton bikes are best known for their video classes, which feature a social leaderboard, chatty instructors, and handpicked music. But from a fitness perspective, my favorite feature is “power zone” training, which works with specific classes or you can enable the power zone bar for any workout. Let me tell you why I love it, and how you can get started with it, too. What is power zone training? Cyclists measure their effort in terms of power: how much energy you transmit through the pedals in a given length of time. It’s often measured in watts. On an outdoor bike, you need a power meter to measure this; on Peloton, thi…

We may earn a commission from links on this page. Remember when two-day shipping seemed novel? "Wow—I can order this item on Amazon on Monday, and get it Wednesday? That's amazing!" Now, orders are coming next day, sometimes as early as 4 a.m. I'm all for convenience, but how much faster do deliveries really need to get? The answer, apparently, is much faster. On Tuesday, Amazon announced two new delivery options for customers in "a growing number of cities and towns:" For over 90,000 products on Amazon's store, the company will let you choose to get the item in three hours or less. For those in select areas, you'll even have the option to get it as soon as one hour. Fo…

Samsung’s new Galaxy S26 Ultra launches with the usual Ultra series promise: the biggest screen, the most capable cameras, and the most features in the company’s lineup. It also launches with prices that reflects that ambition ($1,299.99 to $1,799.99). That said, Samsung is running an early promotion from March 16 through April 20 that can soften the blow. Buyers can save up to $720 with an eligible instant trade-in credit, or get $150 in credit without a trade-in to use toward other eligible Samsung devices. The deal applies directly through Samsun…

While RSS readers are still worth using to this day, they're far from perfect. Most have a sidebar showing you your article sources and how many unread articles you have in them, leaving you feeling like you have to read everything in your list. If you're like me, you may have hundreds of unread articles at a time. Maybe you power through a bunch of news articles, hoping to make that number go down, or you send long-form essays to Instapaper so that you can (forget to) read them later. I'm exaggerating how big a deal this is, but I think anyone who uses RSS regularly has come up against something like this. That's what intrigues me about Current, a new RSS reader for iPho…

I write frequently about the threat of malware and how threat actors are using it to do everything from steal personal information to fully take over users' devices or add them to botnets. These malicious programs spread through various forms of phishing, ClickFix attacks, malvertising, and even apps that have been vetted and approved by Apple and Google. However, as users (and security tools) have gotten better at identifying the signs of a malware infection and savvy enough to avoid them in the first place, some cybercriminals have changed tactics: Living Off the Land (LOTL) attacks exploit built-in system utilities and tools that may be less likely to raise red flags.…

Sony’s WH-1000XM5 headphones are no longer the newest model in the company’s lineup, but they remain one of the easiest recommendations if you want strong noise canceling without paying flagship prices.

These are sold as Amazon Certified Refurbished units, meaning they’ve been tested and certified by the manufacturer to work like new. They also come with the original accessories and a 90-day limited hardware warranty. …

As a tech journalist who uses Google Docs a lot, I'm used to clicking past various AI prompts and offers of assistance whenever I want to write something with my own human brain. Now, I'm going to have to use up even more clicks to hide the AI integrations on a blank page—though, this time, some of them actually seem genuinely useful. Google is further upgrading Gemini's capabilities in Google Drive and its online office apps: Docs, Slides, and Sheets. You can now produce entire documents and spreadsheets with a prompt, create text that matches a particular style, and pull in relevant information from your Google Drive files, Gmail, Google Chat, and the web.

Galaxy phone owners have been able to use Samsung DeX to access a desktop mode for years at this point, and now Google Pixel users have a similar feature to call their own. The latest Android 16 QPR3 release, pushed out at the start of March 2026, lets you plug a Pixel phone into a monitor and access a desktop-like interface. If you're completely new to these desktop modes, they let you operate your phone as if it's a Windows or macOS computer (sort of). The Android software and the apps don't change, but you get a taskbar at the bottom of the display, the ability to run apps in windows alongside each other, and a few other helpful tweaks. In theory, this can be a real bo…

This week, the young people on TikTok have uncovered a new way to prepare breakfast and an evocative way to describe the feeling that something bad is coming. That's a pretty good week, but they've also taken to LARPing as artificial intelligence, and finding something interesting about Staples stores. Here's what all of that means. What are "frambled eggs"?I can't believe I never thought of this. "Frambled" is a portmanteau of "fried" and "scrambled." It's eggs prepared partly scrambled, but with the yolk intact. The culinary breakthrough seems to have been invented by TikToker @bussyrelate in this video: Although their commenters are calling it a "sunny scramble," as…
