Joe Maring / Android AuthorityTL;DR On February 3, 2026, T-Mobile stores will give away football-shaped food platters. Only corporate-owned stores are participating; third-party outlets won’t have the freebies. The platter features a T-Mobile logo and appears to have moderate capacity for snacks or party treats. T-Mobile Tuesdays is T-Mobile’s wildly popular loyalty program, and the occasional freebies pair very well with T-Mobile’s deals and plans. T-Mobile gave away a cozy magenta blanket in December, and for February, the company plans to give away a football-shaped food platter. Don’t want to miss the best from Android Authority?

This animation of NASA’s Perseverance was created with the Caspian visualization tool using data acquired during an 807-foot (246-meter) drive on the rim of Jezero Crater made by the rover on Dec. 10, 2025, the 1,709th Martian day, or sol, of the mission. The mission’s “drivers,” or rover planners, use the information to understand the Perseverance’s autonomous decision-making process during its drive by showing why it chose one specific path over other options.  This was one of two drives, the first being on Dec. 8, in which generative artificial intelligence provided the route planning. The AI analyzed high-resolution orbital imagery from the HiRISE (High Resolution…

I’ve always been drawn to brands that do more with less. One of the reasons OnePlus smartphones became my absolute favorite is the fact that the company still manages to deliver solid value for its products, even though the future looks a little shaky for the brand right now. Another brand that fits this ethos perfectly is Nothing’s CMF. CMF is Nothing’s budget-focused sub-brand that doubles down on Carl Pei’s original OnePlus vision of delivering great value. The CMF Phone 2 Pro was one of the best budget smartphones we tested last year, and now the company has stepped into…

We’ve come across video after video of humanoid robots performing backflips, delivering punches — and even a clip of a robot kicking the CEO of its maker squarely in the chest. Don’t get us wrong, the aerobatics on display are impressive — but it’s not hugely practical, since it’s not like we’re being swarmed by waves of armed bad guys on a daily basis. Fortunately, not every robotics maker is doubling down on martial arts. Case in point, California-based company Figure recently introduced the second iteration of its humanoid robot AI software, called Helix 02. In a video released this…

For a while now, we’ve known that streaming was becoming the dominant way people watch TV; in 2025, streaming accounted for almost 45% of streaming, more than broadcast and cable viewership combined, according to Nielsen. And among streaming platforms, the most popular isn’t Netflix or HBO Max: it’s YouTube, the everything-streaming platform that’s been around for over 20 years now. And despite the existence of other video platforms, it looks like YouTube’s dominance is only going to keep growing, especially if their newest strategy bears fruit. YouTube teams up with BBC Today: Doctor Who. Tomorrow: the world. Credit: BBC In January,…
