TL;DR: Sign up for a 7-day free trial of Apple TV+ through Prime Video Channels to watch select F1 races for free. Watch the Mexico GP for free with the Prime Video app.
Opens in a new window Credit: Amazon Apple TV Prime Video Channel Watch the Mexico GP for free with a 7-day trial Shop NowKimi Antonelli had a slim chance of winning the title last weekend in Austin. He did his part by winning the Grand Prix, but Hamilton and Russell stayed in the game. Now the action heads to Mexico, where Antonelli's victory seems all but certain.
Antonelli needs to finish in ninth place or higher in Mexico to be crowned champion, even if Russell takes the race win. Surely it's time. I'd be shocked if Antonelli doesn't secure his place as the youngest champion in F1 history.

When is the Mexico GP?The Mexico GP is the 19th race of the 2026 F1 season. Here's the full schedule from the Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez:
Practice 1 — 2:30-3:30 p.m. ET on Oct. 30
Practice 2 — 6-7 p.m. ET on Oct. 30
Practice 3 — 1:30-2:30 p.m. ET on Oct. 31
Qualifying — 5-6 p.m. ET on Oct. 31
Race — 3 p.m. ET on Nov. 1
Fans can follow all the action from this race weekend without spending anything.
How to watch the Mexico GP for freeApple TV holds exclusive U.S. broadcasting rights for F1, and you can now sign up for a seven-day free trial of Apple TV directly through Prime Video Channels.
That trial gives you access to select races for free, including this weekend's Mexican Grand Prix. The subscription rolls over to $12.99 per month after the seven-day trial, but you can disable the automatic renewal and still stream the entire race weekend for free.
If you're already paying for Amazon Prime, calling it "completely free" is a stretch. But if you don't have an active membership, Amazon offers a 30-day free trial for new users. Stacking that Prime trial with the seven-day Apple TV channel trial means you're truly spending nothing to stream this weekend's race.
If you've already made use of this method, you still have a few workarounds:
Apple TV: New standalone subscribers qualify for a direct seven-day free trial through Apple's app.
Apple One: If you want more than just streaming, the Apple One tier packages Apple TV alongside Apple Music, Apple Arcade, Apple Fitness+, Apple News+, and 50GB of iCloud storage — and it comes with a full one-month free trial ($19.95 per month after the promotional period).
Apple: The most generous Apple TV offer is tied to new hardware purchases. Buying an eligible iPhone, iPad, Mac, or Apple TV grants new subscribers three months of free service. You obviously have to spend money on hardware, but if you were already planning an upgrade, it effectively unlocks a massive chunk of the F1 season for free.
The first question that comes to mind after hearing that Binance, the world's largest cryptocurrency exchange, was hacked to the tune of $6.2 billion is: How the heck can this even happen?
The hack, which lasted several hours, saw the attacker drain Binance's wallets, with hundreds of millions of dollars in BTC, ETH, USDC, USDT, and other cryptocurrencies.
The total tally, according to Binance co-CEO Richard Tang, was $6.3 bililon. Crypto sleuth Wazz put it at $6.17 billion by following crypto wallets, and Binance founder Changpeng 'CZ' Zhao didn't share the actual number, but he did confirm the ballpark.
This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.The first news from Binance about the nature of the hack revealed that the company's wallet private keys had not been leaked. Instead, it was a compromised DevOps engineer's laptop that the hacker used to "gain access to a service container and submit unauthorized withdrawal transactions."
If you're a Binance user, this doesn't sound comforting. If a single compromised laptop can result in billions being stolen, Binance had better rethink its security practices.
Now, however, Tang shared some additional details about the incident. While reiterating that customer funds are "safe," he said that the hack was a bit more involved than what the statement above implies.
This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed."Our initial investigation suggests this security incident may have started with a compromised DevOps engineer's laptop. That gave an attacker access to a service container, where they submitted unauthorized withdrawal transactions," wrote Tang.
"To be clear: the attacker did not simply use one engineer's permissions, and this was not a single 'one-click' action. It involved a more complex attack process. Our investigation has not attributed responsibility to any individual. So far, we have found no evidence of any wallet private key leak," he wrote, adding that the company will share a "detailed technical post-mortem once the investigation is complete and every fact is verified - and publish an updated Proof of Reserves once remediation is complete."
Furthermore, according to the BBC, Binance has uncovered "additional points of breach," so it may not be just the one laptop that was compromised.
This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.Fortunately for Binance and its users, a substantial portion of the stolen funds has been frozen by the issuers. In response to Elon Musk's snarky comments about the incident, CZ said that roughly $3 billion in funds has been frozen. The company also has a SAFU fund worth more than $1 billion, and CZ pointed out that the company holds more than $1 billion in SpaceX shares, in an obvious jab at Musk.

Opens in a new window Credit: Nintendo Nintendo Switch 2 Choose Your Game Bundle $459 at WootIf you've been considering upgrading your gaming setup, there's a new Nintendo deal at Woot that'll save you $90.
The retailer is currently offering the Nintendo Switch 2 Choose Your Game bundle not only at a sale price but also with an extra discount available at checkout. The bundle currently has a list price of $549, already reduced to $519, but entering the code SAVETOBER at checkout brings the total down to just $459. That's a $90 saving on the original price, including a console and your choice of one of three digital games.
The bundle includes the Nintendo Switch 2 console, alongside a digital download of either Mario Kart World, Donkey Kong Bananza, or Pokémon Pokopia. Rather than buying your console and first game separately, you can get both together for less.
The Switch 2 has many upgrades over the previous model, including a larger 7.9-inch LCD touchscreen with HDR support and up to 120 fps. The updated dock also supports up to 4K resolution when paired with a compatible TV and game. Plus, it has a whopping 256GB of internal storage, with the option to expand it using a microSD Express card, so there is plenty of space for games and downloads.
Head to Woot to grab this deal before it's too late.
TL;DR: The Pokémon TCG 30th Celebration Ultra-Premium Collection Day (Espeon) and Pokémon TCG 30th Celebration Ultra-Premium Collection Night (Umbreon) are available to preorder now on Walmart.
Opens in a new window Credit: The Pokemon Company Pokémon TCG 30th Celebration Ultra-Premium Collection Day (Espeon) $495 at WalmartNext week is going to be absolutely huge for Pokémon TCG collectors. We've had a wave of announcements in recent weeks, so it's hardly been quiet lately, but the Day and Night Ultra-Premium Collections and the Delta Reign Expansion are set to release on Nov. 6. Now that's big news.
With the launch day fast approaching, preorder offers are getting competitive. Amazon listings went live weeks ago but have since vanished. That has left Walmart offering the best rate on the Pokémon TCG 30th Celebration Ultra-Premium Collection Day (Espeon) and Pokémon TCG 30th Celebration Ultra-Premium Collection Night (Umbreon).
Both high-end boxes are currently available to preorder at Walmart for way under market price. That's a rare deal that will sell quickly.
TCGplayer's market price for the Day Box is currently $531.48, compared to Walmart's $495. The market price for the Night Box is $567.59, compared with Walmart's $509.99.
Both Ultra-Premium Collections come packed with 29 30th Celebration booster packs, one Classic Collection booster pack, custom metal coins, deck boxes, card sleeves, and damage-counter dice. Of course, a lot of the hype comes from the exclusive promo cards.
The Day collection includes the exclusive Espeon ex promo card with a Daytime Pikachu ex promo card and an Espeon playmat. The Night box includes the exclusive Umbreon ex promo card with a Futuristic-rarity Pikachu ex promo card and an Umbreon playmat.
It's not easy finding real value for money in the trading card market, so scoring preorders for way under market value is pretty special. And that goes double for a collection like this.
It’s been a chaotic, hardware-heavy week in Cupertino. Following a surprise wave of drops, Apple capped off its private "Pro and Tell" event in Los Angeles by finally giving fans the holy grail: a touchscreen MacBook Pro equipped with a tandem OLED "PROLED" display.
If you followed our breakdown of everything Apple announced, you already know this wasn't just a one-laptop show. We also got a massively upgraded OLED iPad mini packed with an A20 Pro chip, along with M6 processor leaps for both the 24-inch iMac and the entry-level 14-inch MacBook Pro.
Preorders went live on Apple's site right after the event, and now the new batch has surfaced on Amazon. You can lock in your order with Prime delivery perks ahead of the official Nov. 6 ship date.
From a fingerprint-friendly MacBook Pro to a waterproof OLED iPad mini, here is every new Apple device you can add to your cart right now.
Apple iPad mini Opens in a new window Credit: Apple Apple iPad mini (OLED, A20 Pro) Starts at $699 Preorder at AmazonThe iPad mini has always been the tablet you actually toss in a backpack, but this refresh turns it into a pocket powerhouse. The main upgrade is the screen. Apple squeezed in a larger 8.5-inch OLED display by trimming the borders by 24%, so you get more screen space in the same compact build. It hits 1,200 nits of peak brightness with deep black levels that make movies, games, and comics look incredible.
If you work outside, the 256GB and 512GB models even offer a matte nano-texture glass option to kill glare.
It runs on the new A20 Pro processor, so heavy apps and on-device Siri AI features fly without stuttering. You also get an IP67 rating for real water and dust resistance, so a spilled drink or a rain shower won't ruin your day. Apple also finally shifted the 12MP front camera to the landscape edge, so you will no longer look off-center on video calls.
Apple 24-inch iMac (M6) Opens in a new window Credit: Apple Apple 24-inch iMac (M6) Starts at $1,499 Preorder at AmazonThe iMac is basically the antidote to ugly desk clutter. One power cord, three minutes of setup, and you have a sharp 24-inch 4.5K screen that looks great in any room, especially in colors like Green or Pink. The big change is inside: Apple skipped an entire generation and jumped straight to the M6 chip.
So apps open instantly, photo editing is buttery smooth, and graphics run twice as fast as the old M4. You also get WiFi 7, way faster storage speeds, and the ability to hook up two 6K external monitors if you need a multi-screen setup.
The base model starts at $1,499, but pay the $1,699 for the 12-core version if you can swing it. The extra $200 gets you four ports instead of two, a 2.5Gb Ethernet jack for fast wired internet, and a Touch ID keyboard so you never have to type your password again. Plus, if you work by a sunny window, this is the only tier that lets you add the matte nano-texture glass.
Apple 14-inch MacBook Pro (M6) Opens in a new window Credit: Apple Apple 14-inch MacBook Pro (M6) Starts at $1,999 Preorder at AmazonNot everyone wants a touchscreen laptop or wants to spend nearly three grand to get one. If you want a traditional, bulletproof pro machine, the entry 14-inch MacBook Pro with the base M6 chip is where the money goes. Apple packed in a 12-core CPU and 12-core GPU, giving it a huge boost for photo editing, code compiling, and local Siri AI workflows.
More importantly, Apple finally bumped the base storage to a generous 1TB, so you don't have to carry an external drive just to hold your basic files. Battery life also reaches an absurd 24 hours — the longest ever in a Mac — and it doesn't throttle power when unplugged. You get a super-bright 14.2-inch Liquid Retina XDR screen, three Thunderbolt ports, an HDMI port, an SD card slot, and WiFi 7.
Apple 14-inch MacBook Pro (PROLED XDR Display) Opens in a new window Credit: Apple Apple 14-inch MacBook Pro (M5 Pro/Max with PROLED Touchscreen Display) Starts at $2,899 Preorder at AmazonAfter over a decade of Apple insisting touchscreens belong exclusively on iPads, it finally caved. The new 14-inch MacBook Pro brings touch directly to macOS, letting you tap, pinch, zoom, and scrub timelines right on the glass.
The screen itself is the real showstopper. Apple used tandem OLED tech (dubbed PROLED) that cranks out 2,000 nits of peak brightness for both HDR and SDR content, backed by a wild 10,000,000:1 contrast ratio. Color coverage hits both P3 and Adobe RGB, making it a dream for photo and video work. Apple also ported the iPhone’s Dynamic Island over to house Spotlight search, timers, and Live Activities at the top of your screen.
It runs on Apple's heavy-duty M5 Pro or M5 Max chips, paired with 24GB of memory and a 1TB SSD out of the gate. Even with the touch layer, it dropped by half a pound to an even 3 pounds, while maintaining up to 22 hours of battery life and three Thunderbolt 5 ports.
Apple 16-inch MacBook Pro (PROLED XDR Display) Opens in a new window Credit: Apple Apple 16-inch MacBook Pro (PROLED XDR Display) Starts at $3,399 Preorder at AmazonIf the 14-inch model is built for portability, the 16.3-inch version is basically a studio-grade monitor you can fold shut. You get the same double-stacked OLED panel and responsive touch glass, but with a massive canvas for editing timelines, grading color, and zooming into high-res photos.
It also runs on Apple's heavy-duty M5 Pro or M5 Max silicon, giving power users more than enough muscle to handle brutal creative workloads and heavy multitasking without breaking a sweat. Apple also shaved 0.7 pounds off the chassis — dropping it down to an even 4 pounds — and gave it upgraded speakers with noticeably punchier bass. You get up to 24 hours of battery life alongside three fast Thunderbolt 5 ports.
If your current tech is feeling a little dusty, head over to Amazon to grab the new releases right now.

As of Oct. 30, one great internal storage option is on sale at Amazon: the Samsung SSD 990 PRO 4TB. Normally $1,099.99, it's currently on sale for $799.90.

The 990 PRO is also available in 1TB and 2TB capacities, both of which are reduced at Amazon. The 1TB version is down from $319.99 to $259.99, and the 2TB model has fallen from $639.99 to $406.39.
The 4TB model is designed for seriously fast performance, delivering read speeds up to 7,450 MB/s and write speeds up to 6,900 MB/s. According to Samsung, random performance is improved by over 55% compared to the previous 980 PRO, alongside up to 50% greater performance per watt.

Gaming is an expensive hobby (especially in the age of RAMageddon), so any time you can save some money on hardware is a good day. If you're looking to boost your refresh rate or enhance your visual experience, Black Friday is the perfect opportunity to snag gaming monitors at steep discounts.
While we don't expect the absolute best discounts to arrive until closer to Black Friday, there are several live deals worth shouting out early. If you'd rather get some holiday shopping out of the way early or you want to upgrade your gaming setup before the official release of GTA 6, we've gathered the best gaming monitor deals worth adding to your cart.
If you don't quite see what you're looking for yet, stay tuned as we dive deeper into the Black Friday season. We'll be updating this list as things heat up.

Black Friday sales are dropping early this year, and shopping now comes with benefits. You're less likely to run into shipping delays, and the selection might be better if you're on board with shopping weeks before turkey dinner.
Since everything feels more expensive these days, shopping sales can help ease the pain. Apple products (including the iPad lineup) saw price increases this summer, in part thanks to RAMageddon, but some deals bring iPads back into a range we're used to seeing.
Comparing these early Black Friday deals to what we saw during October Prime Day helps us decide what's actually worth buying. We have the green light on the standard iPad with the A16 chip, which is sitting at the same sale price we saw during Prime Day. But if you're shopping for the iPad Air or iPad Pro, you might want to hold off.
We saw a $100 discount on the Air and a $200 price cut on the iPad Pro during Prime Day, and neither of those is showing up right now. It's possible waiting a few more weeks will see larger discounts, but nothing is promised with tech in 2026.
We'll keep this page updated if we see better price drops in iPads.
Best budget iPad deal Opens in a new window Credit: Apple Apple iPad (A16, WiFi, 128GB) $399 at AmazonMashable's favorite iPad for budget shoppers is the iPad with an A16 chip, which is on sale for $399, matching the same discount we saw during October Prime Day. Mashable Senior Shopping Reporter Samantha Mangino wrote, "It's great for someone who wants a portable screen for streaming, playing games, and reading." Given its lower price point, it's also a nice option for kids.
Best iPad mini deal Opens in a new window Credit: Apple Apple iPad mini (A17 Pro, WiFi, 128GB) $545 at AmazonApple just announced the 8th Gen iPad mini with big upgrades, but if you're interested in an older (and less expensive) model, the iPad mini with the A17 Pro chip is already on sale. The 7th Gen iPad mini is a great option if you're looking for a versatile tablet that's great for streaming shows and catching up on emails. It's also the best iPad if you're looking for a model that'll double as an e-reader, thanks to its compact size.
It's worth mentioning we saw this model drop to $499 during October Prime Day. But with tech price hikes, it's possible this is the lowest we'll see during the 2026 holidays.
TL;DR: The Magic: The Gathering The Hobbit Gift Bundle is on sale for $93.99 at Amazon, down from its $109.86 typical price.
Opens in a new window Credit: Magic: The Gathering Magic: The Gathering The Hobbit Gift Bundle $93.99 at AmazonIt wasn't that long ago that Magic: The Gathering's The Hobbit Gift Bundle was struggling to drop below $150, but Amazon has now brought the Middle-earth collection under $100, the lowest price since the summer.
As of Oct. 30, the Magic: The Gathering The Hobbit Gift Bundle is available for just $93.99 at Amazon, cutting $15.87 off its typical $109.86 price. It has dropped considerably since the bundle dropped to $158 in September.

As of Oct. 30, the Magic: The Gathering Avatar The Last Airbender Jumpstart Booster Box has dropped to $90.16 at Amazon. Compared to its typical $98.99 price, you're getting a 9% discount of $8.83, bringing each of the 24 boosters down to $3.76.

According to the price tracker camelcamelcamel, this is the first time the Jumpstart Box for the Avatar expansion has dropped into the $90 range since August. While it may not be its lowest-ever price, it's still a better price than you'll find at other go-to trading card sites right now.
SEE ALSO: The Magic: The Gathering Marvel's Spider-Man Play Booster Box is close to market price — save $15 at AmazonTCGplayer, for instance, against its estimated market price of $93.20, has its cheapest sealed listings starting at $94.22, including shipping. Walmart, meanwhile, is asking for even more at $102.49, putting Amazon's offer over $12 ahead.
Inside the box are 24 Jumpstart Boosters, each packing 20 Avatar-themed Magic cards. Unlike traditional deckbuilding, Jumpstart keeps things simple by letting you shuffle any two boosters together to form an instant playable deck, complete with the necessary Land cards.
With 46 different themes featuring familiar characters, moments, and elemental powers from the animated series, there's a good variety of combinations to try. You can even mix these with boosters from other Jumpstart sets if you're after more ways to play.
TL;DR: The Pokémon TCG 30th Celebration Tech Sticker Collection (Lucario) is on sale for $49.95 at Amazon, down from its typical price of $61.95.
Opens in a new window Credit: The Pokémon Company Pokémon TCG 30th Celebration Tech Sticker Collection $49.95 at AmazonAmazon's prices for the Pokémon TCG's 30th Celebration collections have been jumping around throughout October, but the triple pack with a promo card and bonus stickers has slipped to the lowest price we’ve ever seen at the retailer.
As of Oct. 30, the Pokémon TCG 30th Celebration Tech Sticker Collection (Lucario) costs just $49.95 at Amazon, cutting $12 from its typical $61.95 price with a 19% discount. That's also three cents cheaper than the $49.98 offer we spotted at the beginning of October, bringing this particular box to the cheapest we’ve ever covered from Amazon.
Although third-party seller Bigg Time Sales is handling the sale directly, it’s still Amazon handling the shipping, with free delivery landing between Nov. 11-21 at the time of writing.

The cheapest listings there only go as low as $35.99 after shipping.
The Tech Sticker Collection contains three 30th Celebration booster packs, a foil Lucario promo card, and a themed sticker sheet featuring Lucario alongside Pikachu and Mewtwo.
Every booster holds five foil cards, a foil Basic Energy, and a Pokémon TCG Live code card. There's also a guaranteed Pikachu rare card in each pack, with 30 different versions to collect across the expansion.
SAVE $400: As of Oct. 30, the Eufy E25 robot vacuum is on sale for $599.98 at Amazon. That's a 40% discount on the list price.
Opens in a new window Credit: eufy Eufy E25 Robot Vacuum $599.98 at AmazonImagine putting your feet up while someone else takes care of the vacuuming and mopping. That's the appeal of a robot vacuum that handles both jobs and even takes care of much of its own maintenance. And that's exactly what you get with the Eufy E25 robot vacuum. This impressive vacuum does it all, and as of Oct. 30, it's on sale at Amazon for 40% off the list price.
It has 20,000 Pa of suction, so the E25 is really designed to tackle everything from everyday dust and dirt to pet hair. Its DuoSpiral brushes help prevent hair from getting tangled, and the CornerRover arm extends its reach along edges and into awkward corners where dust tends to build up. It can also clean across different floor types, so it's a great choice if you have carpets, hard floors, or rugs.
Mopping is handled by Eufy's HydroJet system, which uses self-washing roller mops that clean themselves every two seconds while in use. Then the all-in-one docking station takes care of the rest, automatically emptying dust, washing the mops, refilling the water tank, and drying the rollers with hot air. There's basically nothing for you to do.
If you're sold on the idea, this robot vacuum is currently down from $999.99 to $599.98. Not only is that a $400 savings, but it's the best-ever price for this vacuum. Get this deal from Amazon now.
TL;DR: Through Nov. 1, fans dressing as historical American Girl dolls for Harry Styles' "Harryween" shows can get $40 off a Historical Character doll at the American Girl NYC flagship by showing photo proof of their costume.
When Harry Styles dropped his track "American Girls," he was probably singing about classic romance. His fans took the title dead literally anyway, showing up to his shows dressed from head to toe as actual historical American Girl characters.
Naturally, the trend exploded on TikTok. Fans traded cowboy hats for Samantha Parkington’s Edwardian velvet coats, Kirsten Larson’s prairie aprons, and Kit Kittredge’s Great Depression-era newsboy caps.
Now, with two massive (and very costume-heavy) "Harryween" concerts hitting New York City this weekend, American Girl is leaning all the way into the bit by giving fans a very real discount for their efforts.
If you dress up as a historical American Girl character for the concerts, you can score $40 off any Historical Character doll at the brand's NYC flagship store. Considering full-size historical dolls rarely see steep discounts and normally cost up to $175, knocking $40 off is a nice break for collectors and nostalgic fans.
How to claim the $40 discountYou don't need a voucher code, but you will need to head into Manhattan in person. Here is what to know:
Where — In-store only at the American Girl New York City flagship store (located at 75 Rockefeller Plaza).
When — Valid only on Friday, Oct. 31 and Saturday, Nov. 1.
How to redeem: Just show an employee photo proof of your historical American Girl costume at checkout.
The fine print — The $40 discount applies exclusively to Historical Character dolls, is limited to one per customer, and runs only while supplies last.
Whether your look channels Victorian tea parties or frontier pioneer grit, your concert fit can finally pay for itself. Just snap your photo at the arena, hit Rockefeller Plaza before Saturday ends, and grab your doll before stock runs dry.
SAVE $70: As of Oct. 30, Beats Solo 4 are on sale for $129.95 at Amazon. That's a 35% discount on the list price.

The Beats Solo 4 are currently reduced to $129.95 at Amazon, saving you $70 on the list price. The deal covers all colorways, so you can choose from black and gold, cloud pink, slate blue, and more.
These headphones have updated drivers and custom acoustic architecture, which are designed to produce fuller, more detailed sound. They also support Personalized Spatial Audio with dynamic head tracking for a more immersive experience.
They're designed to be comfortable. The headphones have a lightweight design, a flex-grip headband, and adjustable, angled ear cups to help give you a secure fit. The UltraPlush ear cushions also give additional padding for longer listening sessions.

For three seasons of Adam Ruins Everything, comedian Adam Conover educated audiences on everything from Facebook and fatbergs to the justice system to how children's toys became gendered. But did educating through comedy heal the world? It did not, and in his new comedy special Big Divorce Energy he digs into that and much more.
Sitting down in the Say More studio with Mashable Entertainment Editor Kristy Puchko, Conover shared how his comedy has changed from the heady Obama era of Adam Ruins Everything to the Trump era we find ourselves in now. The two talk about millennial disillusionment, how to operate on social media while being well aware of its pitfalls, and how Conover is rediscovering himself through sex and dating.
If you loved Adam Ruins Everything, you won't want to miss Big Divorce Energy, where Conover sheds his cartoony persona for a franker and more fierce approach to comedy and political commentary.
We all have a phone that we rely on to survive. Most of us also have a laptop, whether we use it for work, school, or booking flights. But a tablet is the perfect middle ground between the two. It's larger than a phone but usually more portable than a laptop. Plus, many can double as a great e-reader.
Well ahead of the official Black Friday date, we're already seeing tablets on sale. They range from budget Amazon models to top-tier Apple iPads.
If you're shopping for a new tablet before the holidays, check out our favorite deals below.
Best Apple iPad deal Opens in a new window Credit: Apple Apple iPad (A16, WiFi, 128GB) $399 at AmazonMashable's favorite budget iPad is already on sale well before Black Friday. And in even better news, it's down to the same sale price of $399 that we saw during October Prime Day. The 11-inch Apple iPad is powered by the A16 chip and has 12MP cameras on the back and front, which is great news if you'll be using the tablet for FaceTime over the holidays.
Best Amazon tablet deal Opens in a new window Credit: Amazon Amazon Fire HD 8 $79.99 at AmazonMashable's rating of the best tablets lists the Amazon Fire HD 8 as the top pick for an Amazon Fire tablet. Between the compact display size of eight inches, clear resolution, and incredible sale price, it's hard to go wrong with the Amazon tablet. The $79.99 sale price applies to the model with 64GB storage, which gives you space to download movies, shows, and music for upcoming holiday travel.
Best Samsung tablet deal Opens in a new window Credit: Samsung Samsung Galaxy Tab S11 $999.99 at AmazonIt's not the newest model, but the Samsung Galaxy Tab S11 is still well worth considering. The generous 11-inch display size could be awesome for watching movies in bed, and the AMOLED display offers impressive crispness. If you'll be out in the sun with the tablet, rest assured it can reach up to 1,600 nits of brightness. Plus, there's a microSD slot for increasing onboard storage. Samsung also includes the S Pen with the tablet.
Having good taste is expensive. Alas, it has always been thus.
But $200 for a clock is pushing it, even for a snob like me.
Opens in a new window Credit: Amazon Amazon Echo Time smart alarm $199.99 at AmazonThat's unfortunate, because I love the design of Amazon's new Echo Time smart alarm.
The new Echo Time is really sleek looking. Credit: AmazonEarlier this week, Amazon launched a bunch of new Echo smart home devices, and Mashable was there for the unveiling. The new Echo devices have less of a Death Star vibe, and the Echo Time stands out to me for its friendly design. It's exactly the kind of product I can imagine installing on my nightstand.
I really do love the design of this smart alarm. It doesn't have quite the same appeal as the new Apple HomeView for me (I'm not a huge fan of the knitted fabric cover on Amazon smart devices), but the round shape and pleasant, customizable clock faces work extremely well together. I even like the optional stand.

Credit: AmazonWhy does everything have to be so expensive right now? Whether you're booking a hotel, ordering food, buying a phone, or looking for an alarm clock to break your morning phone habits, prices are painful. Amazon's last smart alarm, the Echo Spot, was priced at a much more reasonable $79.99. That is, until Amazon raised prices on the Echo Spot to $109.99 in August. Now, the company is asking us to pay even more.
The Echo Time isn't even the only pricey alarm clock I'm lusting after in 2026. Stylish, Instagram-famous analog alarms like the Nanu Arc Alarm Clock cost even more, at $299.

The Echo Time: What you get for the moneyThe Echo Time does work really hard to justify the price tag. And, for the record, I really wouldn't be mad about getting this as a Christmas gift this year. I just don't know that I can justify the money myself.
Billed as "your Alexa smart clock," the Echo Time has hundreds of clock faces for its 3.2-inch circular touchscreen, and with the AI-powered Alexa+, you can even use it to control smart lights, set the perfect sleep temperature, or open your blinds. The Echo Time also doubles as a noise machine, playing soothing sounds as you fall asleep at night or meditate in the morning. Amazon says its built-in speaker offers lossless high-definition audio for listening to music.

More importantly, your privacy is also considered with the Echo Time, which is "built with multiple layers of privacy controls, including a microphones enable/disable button."

This, despite the fact that President Donald Trump promised to bring down prices at the pump, grocery stores, and beyond, telling crowds, "Starting on day one, we will end inflation and make America affordable again." Obviously, that's not what happened. Tech companies, in particular, keep raising prices as they pass along the higher costs of the memory squeeze spurred by the AI industry.
So, you'll have to decide if your budget can bear a $199.99 smart alarm.
My verdict: Wait for Black Friday and see how much the Echo Time is going to cost when it inevitably goes on sale.

NASA's farthest spacecraft gave mission control a scare when it inexplicably went silent and missed two days of planned check-ins.
The nail-biting incident happened just two weeks ago, when the Deep Space Network didn't receive a call from Voyager 1 on either Oct. 18 or 19. But before the agency could send repair commands, the spacecraft, now outside the solar system, signaled back on Oct. 20. No communication outages have happened since.
Engineers still don't know what caused the problem. So far, the team has discovered that one set of thrusters shut down, leaving a backup set to take over. The thrusters are small engines that point and steady the spacecraft. Voyager 1's computers do this automatically whenever they detect an issue with the active thrusters to ensure the spacecraft is in a safe mode.
"This is the first time we've seen the spacecraft do something like this, but we are also at a point in the mission where we have to expect the unexpected," said Kareem Badaruddin, Voyager mission manager at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, in a statement. "We're relieved to be back in contact with Voyager 1 and are eager to understand what happened."
Voyager 1's trouble adds to a growing list of signs that NASA's longest-running mission is winding down. Its plutonium power source loses about four watts every year, forcing engineers to turn off two science instruments to conserve power. On Nov. 18, the spacecraft is expected to reach a historic milestone of one "light-day" from Earth. That distance, roughly 16.09 billion miles away, measures how far light travels over 24 hours.
SEE ALSO: Scientists think they've just discovered a new dwarf planet like PlutoVoyager 1 has traveled farther than any other human-made object and is racing through space at 38,000 mph.
Launched in 1977 to survey the outer planets, the spacecraft and its twin Voyager 2 have explored four planets — Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune, and Uranus — 48 moons, and a host of planetary magnetic fields and rings.
In August 2012, Voyager 1 was the first to enter interstellar space. The two remain the only spacecraft ever to leave the solar system, though New Horizons is trying to make its escape as well.
Both Voyagers run on radioisotope thermoelectric generators, which are power units that turn heat from decaying plutonium into electricity. In September, NASA engineers stretched their shrinking power supplies by turning off three instruments on each and replacing them with three lower-powered alternatives — a plan they nicknamed "the Big Bang." The devices involved in the swap also help keep the spacecraft warm enough to work in the freezing cold of space, so the swaps had to happen at the same moment to spread heat evenly.
That strategy should keep their Cosmic Ray Subsystems, Magnetometers, and Plasma Wave Subsystems running for at least one more year, according to NASA. The devices measure high‑energy particles, the local magnetic field, and ripples in charged gas around the spacecraft.
Once Voyager 1 passes one light day, a radio message from Earth will take 24 hours to reach it, and its reply will take another 24 hours to come back.
"If you want to say 'hello' to Voyager, you send your message and then you go home and you wait two days before you finally get a response," said Suzanne Dodd, Voyager project manager.

TL;DR: Windows 11 Pro is only $9.97 (reg. $199) through Nov. 1 for a lifetime, non-transferable license on one compatible PC.
Opens in a new window Credit: Microsoft Microsoft Windows 11 Pro $9.97Your PC already has a job. Give it the tools to do more with Microsoft Windows 11 Pro, now $9.97 (reg. $199) through Nov. 1. That’s a one-time purchase for a lifetime license on one compatible PC, with no subscription or recurring fees.
The reason to go Pro comes down to what you actually need from your computer. Beyond the core Windows experience, this version adds tools for business, development, and IT work.
BitLocker provides full-disk encryption to help protect your data. Hyper-V lets you run virtual machines, while Windows Sandbox gives you an isolated environment for testing apps without affecting your main operating system. Azure AD support handles business identity and access management. For professionals who need those capabilities, that’s a practical reason to choose Pro.
The everyday features get their moment, too. Snap layouts help organize your multitasking, so your screen can keep up when your workload gets busy. Biometric login supports facial recognition or fingerprint sign-in, backed by TPM 2.0 hardware security. And when the workday ends, DirectX 12 Ultimate supports gaming graphics.
Before buying, though, give compatibility a proper check using Microsoft’s PC Health Check app. This version is intended for PCs that need a new Windows license and meet Windows 11’s minimum requirements. A Windows 10 PC that cannot receive the free Windows 11 upgrade through Windows Update will not be able to install this version.
The license is non-transferable, and delivery is digital. For a compatible PC that needs a license — and a user who’ll put those Pro features to work — Windows 11 Pro for just $9.97 makes this a well-timed purchase through Nov. 1.
