Opens in a new window Credit: KeySmart KeySmart SmartCard - Works with Apple Find My Network $34.99 at the Mashable ShopWhat do you get for the person who has everything but can't keep track of anything? AirTags can only take you so far, and they don't exactly help you find a lost wallet. Instead, try a gift that can fit in a greeting card. The KeySmart SmartCard is a razor-thin tracker that works just like an AirTag, looks like a credit card, and barely makes a dent in your gift budget. Plus, you don't have to leave the Apple Find My network.
Pick up a KeySmart Tracker while they're still $34.99 (reg. $39.99).
No more lost walletsUnlike other tracking devices, the KeySmart SmartCard is super discreet. It’s just 2mm thick, about the size of two credit cards, and fits into a wallet without adding any bulk. Let's see your AirTag do that.
They can also attach to an ID or security badge using the built-in lanyard slot, a small touch that’s especially handy for anyone who needs quick access to work or building entry cards.
One of the major benefits of this card is how seamlessly it integrates with the Apple ecosystem. By using the Find My app, users can play a sound on their KeySmart Card to locate it when it’s nearby, or track it within Apple’s global network if it’s lost for real. You can even set up notifications when you accidentally leave it behind and a "Lost Mode" to help retrieve it.
Compact doesn't mean fragile. This tracker card has an IPX8 waterproof rating, so you can hunt down your wallet even if it's lost in the rain.
And with a five-month battery life and Qi wireless charging, this little tracker is a serious set-it-and-forget-it solution.

They also boast an eight-hour battery life, with an additional 16 hours provided by the charging case. And if you take your earbuds on the go, these are IPX4-rated sweat- and water-resistant earbuds, so there's more protection for strenuous use or any accidental mishaps.
The package includes the earbuds, a charging case, ear tips in three sizes, a USB-C to USB-C cable, a Quick Start Guide, and a warranty card. Head to Amazon now to grab this impressive Black Friday deal.

While we wait for Apple to launch its smart home display, Amazon is already delivering the goods.
On Wednesday, the company launched two new versions of its Echo Show smart display, one with a 15-inch, and the other with a 21-inch, display.
Just like the previous Echo Shows, these are smart, Alexa-enabled devices which can display your photos, the weather, a calendar, and the latest news.
Flatter than ever. Credit: AmazonAmazon's previous Echo Shows vary from bulky little standalone displays and displays perched upon an oval or circular base, to the flat 15-inch version that's meant to be mounted on a wall.
And while the 15-incher has been upgraded, the star of the show is the new, equally flat, 21-inch version.
It has a 21-inch display with a 1080p resolution, a built-in, 13-megapixel wide angle camera with auto-framing, and four speakers (two woofers and two tweeters). The new version of the 15-inch Echo Show has essentially the same specs, only with a smaller, 15.6-inch Full HD display. Both devices are equipped with Bluetooth and Wi-Fi 6E connectivity.
You get the wall mount equipment with the device, but the stand has to be purchased separately. Credit: AmazonAs for why you'd want to have the Echo Show in your home, Amazon suggests using it as a smart kitchen TV, an audio and video entertainment hub, a smart home control hub, a picture frame, or a video call device.
SEE ALSO: Finally live: Amazon's official Black Friday sale and a ton of new deals are hereAmazon Echo Show 15 costs $299.99, while the Echo Show 21 costs $399.99. Both devices are available now, and they ship with an Alexa Voice Remote, as well as everything you need to mount them on a wall.

As you would guess, the 15-inch is the same but in more ways than just screen size, bigger. For sound, the 15-inch features a six-speaker sound system with force-canceling woofers, while the 13-inch comes with a four-speaker sound system.
Both 2024 models of the MacBook Air benefit from the new and improved M3 chip, which, according to extensive Mashable testing, means the M3 is around 20% faster than the previous generation M2 chip.
Both boast an impressive 18-hour battery life, perfect for working or studying away from home when you don't have access to a charging outlet. They also both include all the essential MacBook Air features, such as a backlit keyboard, Touch ID, Wi-Fi 6E, and Bluetooth 5.3 for faster wireless connections.

When it’s time for a call, Voice Isolation ensures your voice comes through clearly, even if you’re in the middle of a bustling café — or dodging street performers in Times Square.
Comfortable enough to forget you’re wearing them, the AirPods Pro 2 come with four silicone tip sizes and an IP54 rating, meaning they can handle sweaty workouts and unexpected rain. With up to six hours of listening time per charge and 30 hours total via the USB-C MagSafe case, they’re in it for the long haul.
This deal is for the classic white model — because sometimes, sticking with the original look is the boldest choice. Don’t wait too long; these earbuds are a Black Friday favorite and might vanish faster than your favorite track on repeat.

Opens in a new window Credit: Apple Apple Airpods Max $499.99 at AmazonApple Airpods Max are one of the best sets of headphones on the market, and their standard pricing reflects that. As part of Amazon’s Black Friday deals, Apple’s premium over-ear headphones are now $499.99, down from their typical $549 price tag. While this isn’t the deepest discount, it’s rare to find Apple’s fanciest cans on sale, so don’t let this chance slip through your (metaphorical) fingers.
These aren’t just headphones; they’re an audio experience. With custom dynamic drivers and Apple’s H1 chip running the show, the AirPods Max delivers crisp, high-fidelity sound that’ll make your Spotify playlist feel like performing live in your living room. Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) lets you block out distractions, whether it’s the hum of your neighbor’s leaf blower or the chatter at your local coffee shop. And when you actually need to hear what’s happening around you, Transparency Mode has your back.
SEE ALSO: Save over 80% and get a free £10 voucher with the best Black Friday Audible dealThe real magic happens with Personalized Spatial Audio, which uses dynamic head tracking to make every song, show, or podcast feel like it’s tailored specifically for you. Pair that with Dolby Atmos support, and suddenly, your weekend binge-watch feels like a movie premiere (minus the sticky theater seats).
Comfort isn’t an afterthought, either. The AirPods Max features a knit-mesh canopy that evenly distributes weight and memory foam ear cushions that feel like pillows for your ears. Plus, with up to 20 hours of battery life, they’ll outlast your most ambitious Netflix marathons.
The space gray model is the star of this deal. Still, other colors could also be discounted — because your headphones should match your vibe, obviously. Black Friday deals on Apple gear don’t last long, so snag these while you can and let your ears live their best life.

The Series 10 features a redesigned, thinner, and lighter build, making it more comfortable for everyday wear. Its always-on Retina display is up to 30% larger than previous models. It gives you plenty of screen real estate to check your heart rate, track your workouts, or sneakily read texts during meetings.

And yes, it’s water-resistant up to 50 meters, so cannonballs are fair game.
On the connectivity front, the Series 10 lets you send texts, take calls, use Siri, and stream music — all without constantly grabbing your iPhone. Add safety features like fall and crash detection, and this device becomes a reliable companion for life’s unexpected moments.
This deal is for the 46mm GPS model with the jet black aluminum case and black sport band, but other stylish configurations and sizes are also discounted during Amazon’s Black Friday sale.
Black Friday deals on Apple products don’t last long, so if you’ve been eyeing an upgrade, now’s the time to grab one. This is the lowest-ever price on Amazon, so this might not stick arund for long.

It's not every day that Apple products join the discount party, so this Black Friday deal feels like finding gold in your couch cushions.
This version of the iPad is no slouch. With its A14 Bionic chip — borrowed straight from the iPhone 12 — it's ready to tackle everything from doom-scrolling to hardcore multitasking. Think of it as your tech sidekick, capable of streaming Netflix while you "work" on that presentation.
SEE ALSO: Save over 80% and get a free £10 voucher with the best Black Friday Audible dealThe 10.9-inch Liquid Retina display is as delightful as it sounds. Whether you're doodling with the Apple Pencil (sold separately, because, of course), watching YouTube tutorials, or pretending to read emails, the screen delivers vibrant colors and sharp visuals. Actual Tone tech adjusts to your room's lighting so you can scroll TikTok through the night in optimal comfort.
Its cameras mean business, too. The 12MP front camera makes your video calls look professional. In contrast, the 12MP back camera lets you snap high-quality photos — just don't be that person taking pictures at a concert with an iPad. Add WiFi 6 connectivity and all-day battery life, and you have a powerful yet practical device.
This deal applies to the 64GB WiFi model in blue, but you might find other configurations on sale if you poke around. Apple doesn't tend to offer big discounts, so snag these $70 savings while you can — before the "out of stock" heartbreak sets in.
If you like playing daily word games like Wordle, then Hurdle is a great game to add to your routine.
There are five rounds to the game. The first round sees you trying to guess the word, with correct, misplaced, and incorrect letters shown in each guess. If you guess the correct answer, it'll take you to the next hurdle, providing the answer to the last hurdle as your first guess. This can give you several clues or none, depending on the words. For the final hurdle, every correct answer from previous hurdles is shown, with correct and misplaced letters clearly shown.
An important note is that the number of times a letter is highlighted from previous guesses does necessarily indicate the number of times that letter appears in the final hurdle.
If you find yourself stuck at any step of today's Hurdle, don't worry! We have you covered.

Not the day you're after? Here's the solution to yesterday's Mini Crossword.
If you had to sum up the driving force behind any Mike Schur show in one word, it's "community." Whether they're set in the workplace (like The Office, Parks and Recreation, or Brooklyn Nine-Nine) or in the afterlife (like The Good Place), the shows Schur has created or co-created always center on ensembles who grow from mere acquaintances into the fastest of friends.
A constant within that transition is community's power of break down the walls we've built up to shut other people out. Take how Parks and Recreation and Brooklyn Nine-Nine's resident toughies Ron Swanson (Nick Offerman) and Rosa Diaz (Stephanie Beatriz) show up for their coworkers. Or how The Good Place's Michael (Ted Danson) — a literal demon — ends the show working side by side with the humans he'd initially wanted to torture.
SEE ALSO: The best Netflix TV shows of 2024Schur's latest offering, A Man on the Inside, once again sees the ways community can bring us out of our shells. This time, the focus is on a retirement home, and its latest arrival, retired professor Charles (Danson). With Danson in the picture, A Man on the Inside serves as a wonderful The Good Place reunion, one that's just as sweet and silly as Danson and Schur's first team-up.
What is A Man on the Inside about? Lilah Richcreek Estrada, Kerry O'Malley, and Ted Danson in "A Man on the Inside." Credit: Courtesy of NetflixAs A Man on the Inside kicks off, Charles is a bit of a recluse. His wife passed away a year prior, and since then he's distanced himself from most people, including his concerned daughter Emily (Mary Elizabeth Ellis), and thrown himself into an unbreakable routine. Emily takes it upon herself to get Charles back into the world, issuing him a challenge to find something new that excites him. What he chooses is... out of the ordinary, to put it mildly.
Instead of, say, taking an art class or joining a book club, Charles becomes the assistant to private investigator Julie (Lilah Richcreek Estrada). His mission? To go undercover at Pacific View Retirement Home and recover stolen jewelry. Sounds unlikely? Well, there's some truth to this tale. A Man on the Inside is actually based on the 2020 documentary The Mole Agent, about a man who goes undercover at a retirement home to investigate elder abuse.
Of course, there are several roadblocks on Charles's quest to becoming a spy extraordinaire. First, he'll have to learn how to use covert recording equipment, a process that sparks a delightful montage of an overwhelmed Charles messing up (much to no-nonsense Julie's annoyance). Then, once he gets into Pacific View, he'll have to weather his most daunting task yet: fitting in with a new crowd.
SEE ALSO: 'A Man on the Inside' trailer: Mike Schur and Ted Danson reunite for an undercover comedyEarly scenes at Pacific View play out almost like a high school comedy, with Charles struggling to find a table to sit at or a clique to hang out with. He also garners the romantic attention of sunny Virginia (Sally Struthers), which makes him a target for her belligerent ex Elliot (John Getz). It's too much drama for him to handle in addition to the investigation!
Speaking of the investigation, that gets off to a rocky start too. Between social distractions and the occasional threatening note, it's clear that Charles is in over his head. And that's before Emily crosses paths with Julie, who's posing as Charles's daughter for the investigation. Their meeting sparks a crisis of mixed identities and launches A Man on the Inside into hysterical screwball territory.
Yet despite all the gizmos, gadgets, and setbacks that come with Julie's investigation, it's not long before it fades into the background to focus on what really matters to A Man on the Inside: how Charles's mission opens him back up to the world.
A Man on the Inside is a sweet reminder to put yourself out there. Ted Danson and Mary Elizabeth Ellis in "A Man on the Inside." Credit: Courtesy of NetflixCharles, while timid, is a sweet man with boundless enthusiasm for things he loves. He can barely hide his excitement from Julie while starting his initial observations, and he'll geek out about the Golden Gate Bridge for hours if you let him. Danson plays Charles's eagerness with a slight reserve to start — after grieving the loss of his wife, it might be too soon to let anyone else in. Yet by the end of A Man on the Inside's first season, he's experienced a signature Schur transformation thanks to the power of community. No longer content to hide within his carefully curated routine, he'll fight for his fellow Pacific View residents and give impassioned speeches about how much they mean to him.
But Charles's change doesn't just apply to his relationship with the people he meets at Pacific View. It also extends to his relationship with Emily, who is always trying to figure out where exactly she and her father stand. As Emily contends with the ups and downs of raising three rambunctious boys, her involvement in Charles and Julie's investigation proves to be an unlikely outlet for her parenting frustrations and an ideal way to connect with Charles. Watching A Man on the Inside turn from unlikely spy caper to father-daughter bonding time is one of the show's greatest joys.
A Man on the Inside offers up meaningful stories about aging. Margaret Avery and Sally Struthers in "A Man on the Inside." Credit: Courtesy of NetflixThe other great joy of A Man on the Inside is seeing the simultaneous gravity and levity with which it treats its aging characters. We get to see the residents of Pacific View live life to the fullest, whether that means smoking a joint together, sniping at each other like catty high schoolers, or making new romantic connections late in life. In one of the show's most moving, yet still disarmingly funny scenes, Virginia convinces her best friend Florence (Margaret Avery) to buy the massage chair she's wanted for her entire life but was always too scared to buy.
However, A Man on the Inside also dives into the challenges that come with aging and moving into a retirement home. Charles's close Pacific View friend Calbert (Stephen McKinley Henderson) struggles with his workaholic son visiting him less and less. Characters face heartbreaking diagnoses and lose their friends. Saddest of all, some residents struggle with dementia, leading them to be shunned by other members of the community in A Man on the Inside's most heartbreaking scenes. Thankfully, care from Charles, who's witnessed firsthand the effects of dementia, and Pacific View head Didi (a wonderfully sweet Stephanie Beatriz) prove that there's hope in the darkness.
Still, that sense of abandonment from other residents rings truer to a broader shunting aside of the elderly in real life. Earlier this year, the June Squibb-led film Thelma examined how older people can be discounted or babied, and the anxiety that that can cause. A Man on the Inside continues this discussion with empathy, giving the Pacific View residents space to express their frustrations while also acknowledging how painful it can be to watch someone you love age and gradually lose some of their physical or mental faculties. Chances are, you'll see a lot of your parents and grandparents in Charles and his compatriots, and those suggestions are bound to make you shed a tear. (You've been warned: This show made me cry buckets.)
A Man on the Inside tempers this heavier material with its sharp humor, never leaning too far into schmaltz or lecturing. Its ensemble also boasts incredible chemistry right off the bat, with Danson proving a rock-solid ringleader. These are things you'd expect from a Schur show, and they build A Man on the Inside's wonderful foundation. But again, it's the show's thoughtful portrayal of aging that really makes it stand out, and turns A Man on the Inside into something remarkable.
