The rest of the lineup:

Los Angeles – October 15, 2026 -- Homeowners hit by a house fire do not need a full inventory of losses or a repair estimate before calling their insurer, according to Mercury Insurance, which has published a six-step guide for the first 24 hours after a fire.

Bonnie Lee, Vice President of Property Claims at Mercury Insurance, says the goal is to protect the family, preserve information and get recovery moving, and that homeowners do not need every answer right away.

Stay out until officials say the home is safe

Homeowners should not enter a fire-damaged structure until emergency officials confirm it is safe. Fire can weaken floors, walls, ceilings and electrical systems even when damage is not visible, and smoke, soot and contaminated water can remain hazards after the flames are out. If the home is unsafe, families should find a secure place for people and pets to stay and should not try to retrieve belongings from an unstable building.

Houston – – October 15, 2026 -- Lawn sweepers and chainsaws are the busiest categories at VEVOR's Houston store this fall, as homeowners prepare for Homeowner Association (HOA) requirements, year-end yard maintenance and the tail end of hurricane season.

Store manager Jalal says customers arrive knowing the job they need to finish, and the team's role is to help them pick the right tool. Other recent interest has included sprayers, trimming tools, fans and weed barriers for outdoor work, plus pool pumps and filters for seasonal upkeep.

Hurricane season drives branch trimming and yard clearing

With hurricane season continuing into the fall, some residents are trimming trees and branches and clearing their yards to help reduce potential risks from strong winds.

Chicago – October 15, 2026 -- United Airlines travelers can now check whether their upcoming flight has Starlink Wi-Fi using a new online tracker, and the airline has extended its "Switch to Better Wi-Fi" status match offer to October 22.

The tracker shows Starlink status flight by flight

The tool, called StarlinkTracker.United.com, was built in response to customer demand. Travelers enter their travel dates and flight numbers within three days of departure, and the site updates in real time for last-minute aircraft changes. Aircraft assignments are typically confirmed within 24 hours of departure and remain subject to change.

The site also shows how many regional, narrowbody and widebody aircraft have Starlink. It lists the share of Starlink flights at seven hubs: Chicago, Newark, Washington, D.C., San Francisco, Los Angeles, Houston and Denver. The statistics refresh daily.

Aspen – October 15, 2026 -- The Little Nell, Aspen's only Five-Star, Five-Diamond ski-in/ski-out hotel, has unveiled its Winter 2026-2027 lineup, including a Sydney cocktail bar residency from January 22 to March 30 and the return of celebrity facialist Georgia Louise. It is the hotel's last full season before a renovation begins in April 2027.

The hotel will close longer than first planned

The closure was originally set to end in early winter 2028. It will now run through early summer 2028 so the work can be completed in full. This winter's programming is built around the hotel's traditions from more than three decades.

Ontario, Calif. – October 15, 2026 -- Travelers passing through Ontario International Airport (ONT) can now order a breakfast-inspired Brekki Burger or Steak Frites with chimichurri and truffle fries at Tap & Pour in Terminal 2, while the airport's two Aspire Lounges serve three cocktails marking a decade of local control.

Tap & Pour debuts two new headliners

The Brekki Burger stacks a premium beef patty with American cheese, bacon, a fried egg, lettuce and sriracha ketchup. The Steak Frites pairs flank steak with chimichurri and truffle fries. Both dishes close out a round of menu updates at ONT restaurants managed by SSP America.

Seattle – October 15, 2026 -- Alaska Airlines and Hawaiian Airlines have refreshed their international Suites menus on flights to Asia, Europe and Oceania. The new dishes come from named chefs and are paired with a new premium wine selection. Guests can pre-order up to five entrée options on eligible domestic and international flights.

Seattle chef Brady Ishiwata Williams adds Tokyo and Seoul dishes

James Beard Award-winning Chef Brady Ishiwata Williams has worked with Alaska since 2025. His signature beef entrée is already a guest favorite on flights from Seattle to Tokyo, Seoul and London.

His new Suites dishes are Miso Glazed Black Cod with kimchi fried rice and traditional banchan on flights to Tokyo-Narita, and Galbi-Glazed Chicken with fried rice and banchan on flights to Seoul-Incheon. His menu is open for pre-order now.

Purchase, N.Y. – October 15, 2026 -- Pepsi cans now have their own gameday outfit: a miniature NFL puffer jacket sized for a 12-ounce can, designed to keep the soda cold and hands comfortable at the tailgate, in the stadium or at a home watch party.

The jackets come from the first collaboration between Pepsi and Off Season, the sports-fashion brand founded by Kristin Juszczyk and Emma Grede. Off Season shrank its viral NFL puffer to fit the can.

Frankfurt – October 15, 2026 -- Creality has added two printers to its Ender-3 series: the large-format Ender-3 V3 Mega, with early-bird pricing of $669 for the Combo, and the entry-level Ender-3 V3 Neo, at $329 for the Combo. Both are available to order from October 15 through Creality's official stores.

The series is nine years old and has shipped more than 4 million units. The Mega is aimed at batch production and flexible materials, while the Neo targets first-time buyers.

Mega prints 420 mm objects in one piece

The Ender-3 V3 Mega has a 420 × 420 × 420 mm build volume. Large models can be printed whole, which cuts down on splitting, assembly and visible seams. For batch work, multiple objects fit on one build plate, so print farms and design studios can finish more jobs in fewer runs. Creality names large cosplay props, furniture components and batches of functional prototypes as suitable uses.

Boston – October 15, 2026 -- MacPaw's new AI assistant Eney is available now for Mac and iPhone, free to try for 14 days with 10,000 AI credits. It watches your apps, files and calendar, prepares the next step and waits for your approval before it acts.

Eney is built for people whose days fill up with chasing documents, catching up on threads or prepping for calls. According to MacPaw, it needs no complicated setup or AI know-how.

Eney asks before it sends, changes or moves anything

MacPaw's own research of US Mac users (July–August 2026) found that 81% had used an AI tool in the previous three months, but only 39% said AI was embedded in how they work. Eney is designed around that gap: proactive, never autonomous. By default it asks before sending a message, changing an event or moving a file, and users decide how much it can do alone.

MacPaw founder and CEO Oleksandr Kosovan describes it as "a careful colleague" rather than a chatbot.
