TL;DR: Get 14% off hundreds of Dell laptops and desktops, or save up to £310 on limited-time deals.

Dell is one of the biggest names in the consumer technology game, and that’s because it has a strong reputation for making products that deliver. They’re not always good news for your wallet, though.

You might be able to find plenty of impressive laptops and desktops from Dell, but you’re going to have to pay big to get the best. This does make sense, especially when you consider the features and specs on offer. It just means you need to grab a good deal when the opportunity presents itself.

It might have started as a novelty idea, but a Twitter pitch for “Face ID compatible respirator masks” went to some unexpectedly cool places.

It started on Saturday when Danielle Baskin — “a product designer, situation designer, visual artist, and the CEO of Dialup.com,” according to her website — floated the idea of printing faces onto respirator masks. You know, like the kind you’d use to ward off illness, prevent people nearby from catching whatever you’ve got, or protect from air pollution.

Colorado drivers are currently commuting down what must be some of the most lit and spotless highways in the country. And it’s all thanks to some clever cannabis companies.

The cannabis industry has been in a perpetual arms race against the strict and ever-evolving regulations that govern their substance, which is still illegal in the United States at the federal level. But the 51 Colorado weed businesses reportedly using the Adopt-a-Highway program to circumvent the state’s strict advertising rules surely take the cake (or flowers).

On Friday, Feb. 14, the Denver Post reported that the cannabis industry had become an unexpected top patron of the state highway infrastructure, “accounting for cleanup on two-thirds of the roads maintained by Clean Colorado,” an official program from the Department of Transportation. Read more…

An alleged copy of Tesla’s self-titled “Anti-Handbook Handbook” for new employees leaked and, like Elon Musk himself, it’s absolutely desperate to sound cooler than it actually is.

Reading like the worst – or best? – of Musk’s Twitter feed, the four-page document (published by Business Insider on Thursday) is ostensibly standard workplace culture policies, only those policies are described in overly familiar, self-aggrandizing, and unnecessarily aggro tones. 

“We’re Tesla. We’re changing the world. We’re willing to rethink everything,” it starts. “We’re different and we like it that way. Being different allows us to do what no one else is doing; to do what others tell us is impossible.” Read more…

Herman the pigeon welcomed a canine newcomer at the animal sanctuary he calls home with more affection than many millennials get in a year, and the adorable pictures are proof that friendship has no species. 

Herman and his chihuahua friend Lundy live at The Mia Foundation, an animal rescue in Rochester, New York that specializes in pets born with birth defects.

Lundy came to The Mia Foundation in mid-January and can’t use his back legs due to potential hydrocephalus. Herman has been at the foundation since Nov. 2018, and has been their resident bird ambassador ever since.

This year Mashable is celebrating the season of love with Horny on Main, an exploration of the many ways that thirsting for sex affects our lives.

Millennials have been blamed for killing porn, but will they actually be the ones to save the industry in the end?

“A few years ago,” says Alex Hawkins of the porn tube site xHamster, “there were predictions that [millennials] would be the death of the industry.” It is easy to scoff at such grim analyses, given the number of times millennials have been falsely blamed for killing off industries. But there was a compelling logic to the porn world’s fears: While older generations grew up accustomed to paying for porn, millennials have grown up with easy access to an endless stream of free amateur or promo or pirated professional content.  Read more…

Kidding is making a splash that should be a tsunami.

The dark comedy — perhaps the pinnacle of dark comedies — from creator Dave Holstein premiered in 2018, starring Jim Carrey as a Mr. Rogers-esque children’s TV host mourning the recent loss of his teenage son.

“If you ask me in an elevator ‘What’s the show about?’ I really don’t know how to answer that question,” Holstein tells Mashable in a phone interview after Season 2’s debut. “It’s hard to explain, because the tone doesn’t come across in a pitch about a guy who loses his son.”

That tone is everything from crushing loss to unfiltered rage, punctuated strategically with magical realism and cathartic humor.  Read more…
