What a time to be alive! Ordering pizza used to be such an arduous chore. Think about it: You had to pick up a phone, punch in the pizzeria's number, wait for the call to dial through, and then talk to a human being to place your order. Worse, sometimes you'd have to leave your house (maybe even in the snow or rain) and pick up the pizza by yourself. Ugh. Walking! In 2017, getting pizza delivered to your door requires far less human interaction.

"Fake news" is the crisis du jour for online media in 2017, and now, two tech giants are working together to stop it from wrecking a pivotal election. Facebook and Google, along with newsrooms in France (including France 24, the partner for Mashable's French-language edition), are joining forces on a new project that will help verify or debunk viral information online. It's called CrossCheck, and it'll focus on the 2017 French presidential election.

In one fell swoop last October, Google launched its new Pixel phones and killed off its beloved Nexus devices. If you own a Nexus and still feel betrayed, there might be some good news on the horizon. 9to5Google's Stephen Hall says he was recently told Google might bring the Pixel's Assistant to the Nexus 5X and 6P in a future update. It wouldn't be the first Pixel feature to find its way to the Nexus.

You've seen the memes: President Trump proudly displaying the latest Executive Order, only the text has been replaced with a kid's drawing. Or a proclamation that anime is now illegal. Or something equally silly and fun.

Telstra probably hoped the hashtag #TelstraOutage would be left behind in 2016. Sorry honey, no such luck. On Thursday afternoon, Australia's largest phone network went down for some users following a fire at a Chatswood exchange, which impacted mobile and fixed services. While the outage was genuinely disruptive, many could not resist making the joke of the day. And what a joke it was.

Soon, you may be able to take back your drunk or needlessly angry texts on WhatsApp. The Facebook-owned messaging service is reportedly testing the ability to edit or recall messages that have already been sent. This means you can delete or revise a message even after your friend's phone has technically received it. The feature only works if the recipient has not read the message yet. On WhatsApp, this is signified by a blue tick mark.

Most of us know well enough not to check our smartphones in a movie theater, but what do you do when your smart watch lights up when you raise your hand to scratch your nose. You can do the panicked wrist grab, covering your Apple Watch before anyone notices the tiny beacon of light beaming from your seat. Android smart watch owners already have a solution: It's called Theatre Mode and it basically turns off the screen and notifications (including haptics).

President Trump apparently doesn't care about the security risks of using his old, unsecured Android phone. Though it can't be confirmed which Android phone Trump is actually using — and presumably firing off his temper tweets from — widespread speculation and amateur analysis strongly suggests it's a Samsung Galaxy S3. Yes, an Android phone that was released in 2012. Trump's a billionaire, but he likes using a phone older than Orange Is the New Black.

President Trump has taken control of Twitter, wrenching the wheel, leading the dialogue, and steering it into almost certain disaster. And he won’t let go. For someone who supposedly doesn’t like Twitter very much Trump's obsessed with it. So are plenty of other people, but they’re not the president of the United States. Most of their tweets don’t matter. At least, not like his.

Have you ever looked at your Nerf guns and wished they could shoot something other than foam darts? If you have, this is your lucky year. Designed to cater to a younger crowd — 5 years old and up as opposed to Nerf's traditional 8 and up — the new Nerf Nitro series basically mixes the company's signature blasters with Hot Wheels. Instead of foam darts, the blasters shoot foam cars, which can be launched right into obstacles and into the air off plastic ramps.
