Printers are one of the great necessary evils in our modern world, much to the chagrin of consumers. Now a federal judge has ruled that HP must face a class action lawsuit, in which the plaintiffs argue that the company’s all-in-one printers brick themselves when the ink runs low.
This week, DC Studios starts anew with Blue Beetle, officially kicking off the James Gunn and Peter Safran-led superhero slate in earnest with the studio’s strongest film in quite a while.
Who’s ready for some (bad opinions from the internet while you watch) football? YouTube has revealed some more NFL Sunday Ticket features for the upcoming season. As you watch games, you’ll be able to view a live chat and read what other people think about a certain play or call. Live chat and polls will be available on both mobile and TVs.
YouTube users will be able to watch real-time NFL highlights on Shorts. On Sunday afternoons, these highlights will include a red Live ring around the channel’s avatar, and clicking on this will take users to the NFL channel’s Live tab. There, Sunday Ticket subscribers can decide which game (or games, thanks to the multiview options) to start watching.
One other thing that could be helpful for viewers is key plays, a handy YouTube TV feature that the platform is bringing over to Sunday Ticket. You’ll be able to catch up on a game that you couldn’t watch or check out big plays before joining the live action. This feature will only be available on TVs this season, which is the first under a multibillion-dollar, seven-year pact that YouTube has with the NFL for Sunday Ticket rights.
Naturally, YouTube is looking to recoup its investment on Sunday Ticket and it’s now offering fans more ways to sign up. Starting today, there will be a monthly payment plan option for Sunday Ticket in most states to help fans spread the cost of a subscription over a longer period. It may take a few days before the option is available on YouTube and YouTube TV in your area.
However, the monthly plan won’t be available to folks in Georgia, New York, Minnesota, Nevada, Missouri, Tennessee or New Jersey. Residents of those states will need to pay for a season-long Sunday Ticket subscription (which now starts at $349) up front. Meanwhile, YouTube says student plans will be available sometime in the next week.

Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds is staying neutral in the presidential race — for now. But in Trump’s GOP, even sitting on the sidelines can be an act of defiance.
Coca-Cola: it’s an American institution. An institution I’m not allowed to drink anymore because my doctor says all that sugar isn’t good for me. Sure, I still have the occasional Coke Zero, but it isn’t the same. Well, to celebrate the classic, timeless charm of Coca-Cola, the company teamed up with Casio to release two limited edition G-STOCK watches inspired by the brand. Great, now I want a real Coke.
The watches are available in two models: a classic Coca-Cola red one with a red face and a transparent green one inspired by the glass of a Coke bottle. Personally, that’s the one I want. Both are shock and water-resistant to 200 meters and are available on the Casio website for $160 apiece. Sure, your phone keeps the time just fine by regularly syncing to ensure it’s accurate, but it doesn’t look like a Coke bottle, now does it?
I’ve always been a watch person, but even now, I find myself wearing one less and less. Mostly because, in my life, it doesn’t really matter what time it is. I wake up and work when it’s light out, I go to bed a little after it gets dark, and… what day of the week is it today, anyways?

As part of a larger Anker sale at Amazon, the 622 MagGo portable charger is down to a record low of $40. That’s a 43 percent discount off its usual $70 MSRP. We’ve tried and liked this portable battery pack and recommend it in our gift guide to travel tech. The MagSafe-compatible, 5,000mAh unit will give an empty iPhone a partial charge, filling it between 50 and 75 percent, depending on the model and age of your phone. And while it charges, the fold out stand holds your screen at an angle for viewing (though of course, using your phone while it charge will slow down the process).
A few more Anker accessories are worth calling out from the sale, including the 11-in-1 USB-C hub, which is $55 after a 45 percent discount off its $100 price tag. The hub connects to a laptop via USB-C and features eleven ports in total, including Ethernet, HDMI, SD card readers and multiple USB-C and USB-A slots. That should let you use just about any peripheral you might need.
A cable with a high wattage rating, like the Anker 140W USB-C to USB-C cord, will let you take advantage of the speed offered by fast charging bricks. While this one doesn’t support media display, the exterior sheathing is made from plant based materials like corn and sugar cane. Right now it’s $13 after a 29 percent discount.
Another charging accessory, Anker’s 511 30W Nano 3 charger is one of our favorite accessories for Apple Watches and it’s down to $17 instead of its usual $23. If you’re thinking of getting the upcoming Series 9 smartwatch, you’ll need a power brick since the new wearables don’t come with one. The 511 is compact, foldable and has built-in safeguards to protect against overheating. It’s even powerful enough to juice up an iPhone.
