For the first time ever, the Super Bowl is being streamed for free today. Here's why it's happening and how you can watch the big game.

ZDNET's key takeaways HP's OmniStudio X 31.5 is on sale now at Best Buy for $1,799.It's a big-screen all-in-one with a solid suite of hardware that makes both powerful and flexible.However, some users will want to upgrade the peripherals and speakers. $1,799.99 at Best Buy When I reviewed the Apple iMac M4 last year, I praised it for being a powerful computer straight out of the box, while looking good on your desk. But even though it's a good-looking machine, the 24-inch display isn't big enough for everyone.If you're looking for a beefier desktop, the HP OmniStudio X 31.5 brings a gorgeous 4K 32-inch display to the game while retaining everything we love about all-in-ones. Also: I tested the latest iMac M4, and one of the standout upgrades is also the least flashyThe display on HP's OmniStudio X 31.5 isn't just big; it looks fantastic. The 4K UHD (3840 x 2160) resolution IPS screen with 550 nits of brightness is crisp and smooth. Video playback looks great, and the Nvidia 4050 GPU powers the vibrant picture. details View at Best Buy Although the OmniStudio can certainly handle some gaming, the 60Hz refresh rate isn't designed for top-tier titles, and it's not exactly designed to deal with extreme levels of heat (the device's fans kick in even with light-to-moderate gaming).Instead, the OmniStudio stays true to its intended use case as a home or office all-in-one PC that can do a little bit of everything with enough power under the hood to handle that diversity and still keep things accessible. In that vein, HP's OmniStudio X 31.5 nails it, balancing an approachable price point with a respectable hardware profile.Also: Can phones replace laptops? This underrated Samsung feature settled that debate for meOut of the box, the OmniStudio X couldn't be easier to set up. All you have to do is join the two pieces of the stand together, connect the display to the stand, plug in the single power cord, and you're good to go. Kyle Kucharski/ZDNETThe mouse and keyboard are powered by two AA batteries, and the device comes with four, so you can hit the ground running. The full-sized keyboard is non-adjustable and rather basic, with nice grips on the bottom to keep it from sliding on the desk. The keys are evenly spaced with a nice travel distance, making them easy to type on, especially for long periods of time.Also: How to clear the cache on your Windows 11 PC (and how it helps your system run better)The mouse, on the other hand, is on the cheap side, made of the same brushed metal plastic that's on the front of the keyboard. I think a more premium mouse with this device would have elevated the product as a whole, but HP probably assumes most consumers will be replacing it anyway.The display is unsurprisingly the best part of this computer. The 31.5-inch matte IPS screen has a commanding presence on the deskspace and, despite its heft, is easy to adjust and position.Out of the box, the display's color on my review unit was overly saturated, but playing with the settings resulted in a much better picture. On the back, you'll find a full selection of ports: two HDMIs, two USB-As, a DisplayPort, an ethernet port, and an audio jack.Also: How to clear the cache on your Windows 11 PC (and how it helps your system run better)The stand attached to the display features two more USB-As and another USB-C 3.2 port -- slower than the one on the back of the display. Like the cheap mouse, it would have made the OmniStudio X more premium if this port supported Thunderbolt 4.In that vein, the OmniStudio X only supports Wi-Fi 6, meaning its connectivity is good but not the fastest. As a device that isn't going to be moving around a lot, however, I can overlook this by utilizing the ethernet port instead. Kyle Kucharski/ZDNETThe top of the display houses the 1440p webcam, which represents some thoughtful design by HP. When activated, it pops up from a hidden panel and can be pushed back down when not in use, which is great for privacy and maintaining a streamlined look.Continuing with the rest of the device's hardware, there are a few different configurations here. The OmniStudio X comes in a 27-inch FHD touch or 4K UHD display and a 31.5-inch 4K UHD display. I tested the latter and recommend it, as the big 4K screen sets this device apart.Also:The best HP laptops: Expert testedIt's powered by an Intel Core Ultra 7 155H processor, 32GB of RAM, a 1TB SSD, and the previously-mentioned Nvidia GeForce RTX 4050 graphics card to keep things looking smooth. This is a well-rounded, nicely powered setup that is diverse enough to handle a variety of workflows.As a home computer, it's well-suited to being a jack-of-all-trades device and managing different user profiles, each for a different use case and program lineup. Despite its rather corporate-looking design, it works well as a TV or entertainment device. The downward-firing speakers are fine, but a soundbar or pair of desktop speakers would drastically improve the experience. Kyle Kucharski/ZDNETThat being said, the OmniStudio X is ready to go out of the box, and none of these issues are dealbreakers. I'd happily use this device as both a work machine and home entertainment device, and the streamlined design makes it a modern, capable centerpiece for a home office workspace.ZDNET's buying adviceThe HP OmniStudio X 31.5 is well-equipped at its core to be a solid all-in-one PC. It has a solid build, a respectable suite of hardware, and lots of connectivity. Once you go further out from this foundation, however, many users will want to opt for some improvements for a more premium experience. For example, upgrading the included peripherals (especially the mouse), better speakers, and calibrating the display.Priced at $1,799, the OmniStudio X 31.5 is not particularly cheap, but it's a fair ask for this device, especially as a home computer hub for multiple users. I recommend the 31.5 configuration as a big-screen alternative to the iMac M4. If you're looking for a smaller device, I'd suggest the Dell Inspiron 5420.Featured reviews

The iPhone SE is the most affordable iPhone. You can buy the third-generation model right now for $429 (unless you live in the EU, Switzerland or Northern Ireland, where it was removed from sale last year because it has a Lightning connector on board). A new model is coming, it seems. Heres your guide to whats happening when.Apple iPhone 14will the next iPhone SE look the same as this?AppleiPhone SE 4th Generation First Contact: Any Minute NowApple announces the new iPhone SE this week, according to Bloombergs Mark Gurman in his latest Power On newsletter. If that seems awful early to you, I agree. Id have expected the next iPhone SE to go on sale in March or April, so next week is too soon for it to be unveiled. Mind you, thats not what Gurman said. Perhaps theres some wiggle room in the word announces.And the lack of an iPhone SE in the European Union countries and more may have encouraged Apple to step on the gas and get the new model (which will swap Lightning for USB-C and so can be sold in the EU) ready for market sooner.iPhone SE 4th Generation Unveiling: This Week Or NextLets work backwards to get a better idea of the schedule. The company expects to announce the device as early as next week, ahead of it going on sale later in the month, according to people with knowledge of the matter, Gurman said in a separate report.MORE FOR YOUA February onsale date means a Friday and there are three of those: Feb. 14, Feb. 21 and Feb. 28. Theres no way it could be the first of those as Apple likes to open pre-sales a week before (and that didnt happen).My gut tells me Feb. 28 is the onsale date, pre-sales a week before. Which means the reveal is likely set for the week before that, perhaps Tuesday, Feb. 18 or Wednesday, Feb. 19. Gurmans suggestion of w/c Feb. 10 is possible, it really seems too soon.iPhone SE 4th Generation Pre-Sales Open: Friday, Feb. 14 or Friday, Feb. 21.Apple doesnt like to be predictable, but it also likes to offer customers time to buy in advance. If theres an early reveal, it could mean pre-sales opening on Valentines Day (and what a lovely thing to buy your secret love).However, Im thinking Friday, Feb. 21 is more likely.iPhone SE 4th Generation Release Date: Friday, Feb. 21 or Friday, Feb. 28It could be either of the above, but Im overwhelmingly plumping for the second of these: Friday, Feb. 28.Ill be updating this post as soon as theres more information.

Super Bowl Movie TrailersCredit: Warner Bros / Universal / DisneyThe big game is almost here. Super Bowl LIX kicks off at 6:30pm ET / 3:30pm PT in New Orleans with the Kansas City Chiefs aiming to snag their third Super Bowl win in a row, and the Philadelphia Eagles looking to stop them, and get payback for their 38 - 35 loss back in 2023.Of course, the championship game is just one part of the fun. Theres also a halftime show featuring hip-hop megastar, Kendrick Lamar, and a plethora of ads and movie trailers to watch. You can watch some of those movie trailers before the big game. Here are nine TV spots you can enjoy before the game begins. 30-second ad spots reportedly cost $8 million per this year, so these dont come cheap.You can also check out my weekend streaming guide for other shows and movies to watch this weekend after the Super Bowl.Captain America: Brave New WorldMORE FOR YOUThe highly-anticipated new Captain America movie hits theaters this coming weekend (I have my tickets to the Thursday night preview show) and is the second-to-last Phase 5 MCU film. After this we have Thunderbolts and then Phase 6 kicks off this summer with Fantastic Four: First Steps. Anthony Mackie stars as Sam Wilson/Captain America and Harrison Ford takes on the role of president Thaddeus Thunderbolt Ross, who also happens to be Red Hulk. The film hits theaters February 14th. Its the perfect Valentines Day date movie!SinnersRyan Coogler and Michael B. Jordan team up on this supernatural horror-thriller about twin brothers (both played by Jordan) who return to their hometown only to find that trouble awaits, and a terrifying evil. This is a great trailer, and Im excited to see the blending of period drama and horror. Sinners hits theaters on April 18th.Fantastic Four: First StepsOverall, I think this is a pretty good trailer and Im excited to see the Fantastic Four join the MCU. I dig the retro-futuristic vibe. But as I noted in this post, something is a little off about it to me, and Im not sure if its the casting or if the aesthetic doesnt quite work or what. The film kicks off Phase 6 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe on July 25th.M3GAN 2.0I liked the first M3GAN but called it too bloodless in my review. It was certainly funny, but it never quite reached its potential and I ended up finding all of it a bit too predictable and safe. Well see if the sequel can up the ante when it hits theaters on June 27th.Jurassic World RebirthJurassic Park remains one of my favorite movies of all time, but none of its sequels have really stuck the landing, and that includes Jurassic World, which was certainly fun but proves, once again, that bigger isnt always better. I admit, I didnt watch any other Jurassic World films after the first one, so Im a bit out of touch when it comes to Jurassic World Rebirth. The cast for this one might win me over, however. Scarlett Johansson and Mahershala Ali? Sign me up. The Gareth Edwards film sends an extraction team to the dangerous island research facility for the original Jurassic Park, where massive dino-monsters await. It hits theaters on July 2nd.SupermanThis summer is really shaping up to be a summer of big, bombastic blockbusters. James Gunns first film in the new DCU lands on July 11th, with David Corenswet taking over as the Man of Steel (much to the dismay of hardcore Henry Cavill fans). Rachel Brosnahan plays Lois Lane and Nicholas Hoult will play a young Lex Luthor. I think it looks pretty good, but I remain skeptical about DC movies.Final Destination: BloodlinesSpeaking of movie franchises that I have not kept up with, Final Destinations: Bloodlines is the latest in the long-running, and long-dormant, horror series. I saw the first one when it came out in 2000 but never went back for any of the sequels despite enjoying the premise (avoiding your scheduled death just means death will keep coming for you in increasingly outrageous ways). I have to admit, this is a pretty great trailer that really sets the tone. What a way to go! Bloodlines hits theaters on May 16th.NovocaineJack Quaid of The Boys stars in this action-comedy superhero movie about a guy named Nate who cant feel pain and uses this superpower to rescue the girl of his dream from kidnappers. I cant really tell from the trailer if this is going to be good or not, but Im intrigued. Novocaine hits theaters on March 14th.SmurfsI think Ive definitely become a grumpy old man, because whenever I see a new trailer for movies like Smurfs or Trolls I just roll my eyes. I know these are kids movies but Im just not interested in the animation or the pop music or the fact that Rihanna is in it. But hey, thats just me. This could be a fun family movie for you and your kids to go to when it lands on July 18th.There will be other TV spots and hopefully at least a few funny commercials during Super Bowl LIX. I suspect well get some real duds as well, and the worst of the worst, the dreaded corporate social justice spots, where big companies like Airbnb or Microsoft or P&G preach some kind of cause because they care, dont you know, and you can too if you buy their products. Or something. All I can think of when I see these is Bo Burnhams brilliant Social Brand Consultant sketch from his Netflix special, Inside.In any case, the Super Bowl touches down soon. What movies are you looking forward to this year? Also, go Eagles!

Key TakeawaysThe UK government demands backdoor access to all iCloud data (not just UK users data) under the Investigatory Powers Act 2016.Apple hasnt officially responded, and under the Snoopers Charter terms, it wont be allowed to notify users if encryption is compromised.Experts warn this could set a dangerous precedent, making user data vulnerable to hackers and government overreach.Privacy. Thats iPhone. Well, it looks like thatll no longer be the case.The UK government just demanded that Apple give it backdoor access to all the data stored on the cloud. Even more bizarre is the fact that theyre not just seeking access to the data of UK users, but of every single Apple user worldwide.Apple wont even be permitted to alert its users about this, so youll probably have zero clue that your phones encryption has been compromised should you not follow the news closely.The secret order was posted last month, as confirmed by a former White House security adviser, and is backed by the UKs Investigatory Power Act of 2016, otherwise called the Snoopers Charter, which works to address and take action on the threats posed by new technologies.The current Apple policy encrypts the data end-to-end, meaning even Apple doesnt have access to that data. UK officials demanding blanket access to files in this scenario looks like an impossible request.While Apple hasnt yet issued an official statement in response to the UKs request, its expected that Apple will simply stop offering cloud services in the UK because user privacy is considered a fundamental human right by the company, as stated on its website.Read More: Ex-employee accuses Apple of illegal surveillance in a lawsuitApples Future in the UK Looks a Little BleakThings couldve been slightly more hopeful for the UKs future with Apple if it had just demanded data for its countrys users, but doing that wont fulfill the conditions of the Investigatory Powers Act.While Apple can still appeal to a secret technical panel regarding the proportionality of the countrys security requirement and the demand made, it still wont delay the implementation of the original order.The UK has been against the end-to-end encryption policy since the day of its announcement in 2022. The governments argument is that end-to-end encryption services make it easier for terrorists and criminals to hide and protect their conversations from the government.Several tech companies have pushed back this argument of the UK by stressing the need for privacy in personal communication, leading to an increasing use of end-to-end encryption in tech developments.Metas Whatsapp is an example of another tech platform that uses end-to-end encryption. A spokesperson denied any requests to comment on government requests but highlighted that theres a transparency statement on Metas website that mentions no weakened architecture would be implemented against users privacy. They assured that this statement holds true.Cybersecurity experts are also against the UKs request because putting an entry point into user data will make it easier for hackers and other unauthorized users to trace the gate and exploit it.This overreach sets a hugely damaging precedent and will embolden abusive regimes the world over. Charitys legal director Caroline Wilson PalowSince Apple is barred from revealing its decision, we can only hope that Apple wouldnt compromise its reputation for having the most trustworthy privacy by giving in to the UKs demand.

A hot potato: A widespread scandal involving used Seagate hard drives fraudulently sold as new has continued to escalate, with new evidence suggesting that the drives originated from Chinese cryptocurrency mining farms. The drives, many of which had logged 15,000 to 50,000 hours of prior use, were reportedly altered to appear unused before re-entering the retail supply chain. The first reports of affected drives surfaced in January, when consumers noticed inconsistencies in supposedly new Seagate Exos disk drives used in data centers. The issue has since expanded globally, with over 200 confirmed cases across Europe, Australia, Thailand, and Japan. While Seagate maintains that these products did not come from its official distribution channels, the scandal raises serious concerns about unauthorized resellers and supply chain security.An investigation by Heise suggests that the fraudulent HDDs were sourced from mining operations in China to mine Chia, a cryptocurrency that caused a surge in HDD demand before becoming economically unviable.During the Chia mining boom, demand for high-capacity hard drives skyrocketed, leading to shortages and price surges. However, as the profitability of Chia mining declined, many operations shut down, flooding the market with used hardware. It now appears that some of these used drives were relabeled and resold as new, deceiving both retailers and consumers.Although standard SMART parameters track HDD usage, these values were reset to obscure the actual wear and tear. However, a more in-depth check using FARM (Field-Accessible Reliability Metrics) values can reveal a drive's true operational history. Consumers concerned about their purchases can verify their drives using Smartmontools version 7.4+ (use command: smartctl -l farm /dev/sda) or Seagate's SeaTools software.Retailers impacted by the scandal have taken different approaches to address customer complaints. Some have acknowledged that they unknowingly sold these manipulated drives and are offering refunds or exchanges. // Related StoriesOthers have set up dedicated customer service portals to handle the issue, while a few insist on verifying the affected drives before providing compensation. Many retailers stress that they purchased these HDDs from suppliers they trusted, and they were unaware of any tampering before selling them to consumers.Seagate has distanced itself from the fraudulent sales, saying that it did not distribute the affected drives. It urges affected buyers to report their cases via fraud@seagate.com. The company has launched an internal investigation and is collaborating with retailers and law enforcement to track the fraudulent resellers.

Trolling 101 Snap CEO Evan Spiegel has taken a public jab at Mark Zuckerberg and Meta, updating his LinkedIn profile with an unexpected addition to his job titles. Alongside "loving husband and father of four boys," he now lists himself as "VP Product @ Meta." This tongue-in-cheek update clearly references Meta's history of replicating features that Snapchat first introduced. The rivalry between Snap and Meta is long-standing, dating back to 2013 when Spiegel famously rejected Facebook's $3 billion acquisition offer. Since then, Meta's platforms, including Facebook and Instagram, have consistently rolled out features that closely resemble Snapchat's innovations.Perhaps the most notable example of this imitation is Instagram Stories, launched in 2016. The feature, which allows users to post ephemeral photos and videos, was a direct copy of Snapchat's core functionality, introduced three years earlier. Meta didn't stop there, later expanding the Stories feature to Facebook and WhatsApp.Other Snapchat innovations that found their way to Instagram include disappearing direct messages and face-altering filters, further blurring the lines between the two platforms.Meta's aggressive copying of Snapchat's features has significantly impacted Snap's market share and growth trajectory. After its launch, Instagram Stories quickly outpaced Snapchat in daily active users, surpassing 400 million by 2018 more than double Snapchat's total user base.This disparity led to stagnation and even a decline in Snapchat's user growth, as many users migrated to Instagram for its larger network and integrated features. // Related StoriesInterestingly, Spiegel's attitude toward Meta's copycat behavior has been somewhat ambivalent. In 2018, he expressed a sense of pride, stating that it was the "best feeling" to create something so simple and elegant that competitors could only replicate it exactly. However, he also quipped that he wished Meta would copy Snapchat's data protection practices as well.Meta and Instagram executives have shown little remorse for their imitative practices. Kevin Weil, former Instagram VP of product, defended the approach in 2017, arguing that it would be foolish to ignore good ideas simply because they originated elsewhere. He framed it as a natural part of the tech industry's evolution, where innovative concepts spread across the entire sector.Despite this justification, some acknowledgment of Snapchat's influence has been made. Former Instagram CEO Kevin Systrom once conceded that Snapchat "deserved all the credit" for the Stories feature.

Full of high-stakes emergencies mixed with deeply personal stories, these shows often deliver intense and emotional episodes week after week. As fans become familiar with the chaos of the trauma bay and even departmental issues, they inevitably learn to love and root for the medical professionals who are often going through a rollercoaster of emotions.From the beloved classic ER to the darkly humorous House, the best medical drama shows shaped the genre and kept fans coming back for more. These shows took fans along for the ride, with each triumph and tragedy showing how compelling life-and-death narratives can be. Get ready to scrub in for the best of the best of the medical genre!Recommended VideosABC StudiosLove it or hate it, theres no denying that Greys Anatomy is synonymous with the medical drama genre. Since its 2005 debut, this Shonda Rhimes creation has become a juggernaut of the small screen. It primarily followed Meredith Grey (Ellen Pompeo) and her experiences in Seattle Grace (later Grey Sloan Memorial) Hospital first as a surgical intern up until her days as a world-class surgeon. Alongside her are iconic characters like Cristina Yang (Sandra Oh), Derek Shepherd (Patrick Dempsey) aka McDreamy, and so many others.RelatedGreys Anatomy became a cultural phenomenon thanks to its perfect mix of high-stakes cases and messy relationships. It admittedly leans more towards the emotional connections between characters, with each season presenting more cheesy scenarios and love stories. While its definitely not known for consistent quality, fans adore the long-running series as a comfort show or guilty pleasure, with Merediths voiceover and its music montages familiar to many viewers around the globe.Stream Greys Anatomy on Netflix and Hulu.NBCScrubs is a medical sitcom that follows the journey of the eager young doctor John J.D. Dorian (Zach Braff), who begins his path in the Sacred Heart Hospital alongside other inexperienced medical professionals. Here, they learn from more skilled veterans like their mentor Dr. Cox (John C. McGinley), and the Chief of Medicine, Dr. Kelso (Ken Jenkins). J.D.s surreal escapist daydreams highlight most episodes, with moments of laugh-out-loud absurdity woven into the central characters vignettes.The shows strongest point is its sharp comedy, with it relying on the entertaining dynamic that forms between the doctors. This lighthearted approach also makes it easy to take audiences by surprise when the sitcom explores more serious topics, delivering some truly gut-wrenching scenes in episodes like My Screw Up. Scrubs is certainly not known for its medical accuracy, but its remembered for its warm comedy, making it easy to revisit today.Stream Scrubs on Hulu.CBSThe first original spin-off of the eponymous 1970 film, M*A*S*H revolves around the staff of the 4077th Mobile Army Surgical Hospital during the Korean War. Led by the surgeon Hawkeye Pierce (Alan Alda), its rotating cast of doctors and misfits included fan favorites like Radar OReilly (Gary Burghoff) and Hot Lips Houlihan (Loretta Swit). The group would use their friendship and humor to cope with the horrors of war and their situation in the poorly equipped hospital.While M*A*S*Hs earlier seasons leaned more into its slapstick comedy, later years (and a constantly changing writing staff) would see it focus on the more tragic aspects of warfare. The series would embrace a blend of humor and tragic drama, never losing its anti-war message, which was especially relevant at the time. Some of its outdated elements sexism, casual racism, and the romanticization of the military are certainly a product of its time, but theres no denying its cultural impact. Its legendary series finale, Goodbye, Farewell and Amen, remains one of the most-watched television events in history, underscoring its popularity and role in helping shape the genre as fans know it today.Stream M*A*S*H on Hulu.NBCCreated by Michael Crichton based on the real Cook County Hospital, ER plunges fans into the chaotic emergency room of Chicagos County General Hospital. Audiences are introduced to Dr. Doug Ross (George Clooney), Dr. Susan Lewis (Sherry Stringfield), and Dr. Mark Greene (Anthony Edwards), who are just a few of the medical staff who go through the highs and lows of life in the hospital. Many of the shows best episodes feature its signature breakneck pacing with emotionally intense arcs.Aside from being among the most award-winning shows in the genre, ER is also the second longest-running primetime medical drama, just a spot behind Greys Anatomy. It revolutionized the genre with its documentary-style cinematography and long single-take shots, which made its narratives feel more intense. Perhaps most importantly, ER didnt just use its medical cases as a backdrop for personal dramathe two were linked, with cases often mirroring the struggles of the doctors themselves. This formula would become familiar among medical dramas, with only a few reaching the same heights that ERs greatest stories delivered.Stream ER on Hulu.FoxHouse redefined the medical drama with its unconventional protagonist, who served as a bold break with the genres formulaic norms. At the center of it all is Dr. Gregory House (Hugh Laurie), a misanthropic medical genius who solves baffling cases seemingly without empathy for patients and his staff. As the most talented diagnostician at Princeton-Plainsboro Teaching Hospital, House gets to pick his own team members, which include Dr. Foreman (Omar Epps), Dr. Cameron (Jennifer Morrison), and Dr. Chase (Jesse Spencer). Over time, they alongside audiences learn that House has worrying issues, most prominently his Vicodin addiction induced by a traumatic illness that led to chronic pain.The series soars thanks to an incredible performance by Hugh Laurie, who anchors each mystery-driven episode with his role as a brilliant yet self-destructive doctor. House struck the perfect balance of offering genuinely intriguing cases, messy and often changing relationships, and a complicated protagonist with an arc that just keeps giving. Its both a psychological character study and a thrilling medical mystery that had fans looking forward to all of its compelling aspects.Stream House on Prime Video.Editors Recommendations
