Are you in the market for some AI-powered motivation without the usual fitness price tag? This Black Friday, the Peloton Guide is just $45 at Amazon — a massive 77% off its usual $195 price. Think of it as a pocket trainer that lives on your TV, tracking your moves, counting your reps, and gently reminding you that you can probably lift heavier.

The Peloton Guide combines AI smarts with the brand’s signature vibe, making it feel like you’ve got a whole crew of Peloton’s best trainers on speed dial. This AI-powered device has a built-in camera to monitor your reps, analyze your form, and offer personalized class recommendations based on your last tormented muscle groups. A Guide Membership is required to access Peloton’s entire library of strength training classes, but at $24 per month for up to five profiles, it’s still cheaper than a week’s worth of studio classes.

The Guide’s Self Mode lets you see yourself on screen alongside your Peloton trainers. So, you get to compare your bicep curl form with the pros, know where you’re nailing it (or not), and enjoy a bit of friendly rivalry without leaving the living room. Just plug it into an HDMI port on your TV, carve out enough space for two yoga mats, and you’re ready to flex.

With AI-driven tracking for EMOM (every minute on the minute) and AMRAP (as many reps as possible) workouts, this device lets you take on a challenge without needing a room full of weights — though you can add dumbbells for an extra push. All of this at a killer Black Friday price? If you want to start a home workout habit or level up your setup, grab the Peloton Guide before it’s gone.

If you’re ready to upgrade your video game (and we mean actually steady your shots), this Black Friday deal on the DJI Ronin-SC stabilizer is here to help you shake off those shaky shots. Usually going for $229, this stabilizer is now $179 at Amazon, meaning you can finally capture smooth, pro-level video without feeling the missed Black Friday deal blues.

The Ronin-SC is a stabilizer powerhouse in a lightweight frame, perfect for everything from high-energy action shots to the subtle art of vlogging. With a maximum load capacity of up to 2 kg (4.4 lbs), it’s compatible with a range of mirrorless cameras, from Canon to Sony to Panasonic, so you’re set no matter what you’re shooting with. Even better, its three-axis stabilization system means you can stop holding your breath every time you try to get a steady shot — it’s got you covered even through unexpected spins, fast follows, and that one friend who insists on sprinting into frame.

Plus, this stabilizer comes packed with extras to make your shots shine, including features like motion time-lapse, ActiveTrack 3.0 (perfect for keeping up with that hyperactive dog or active kiddos), and a panorama mode to capture the entire scene. Controlled through the DJI Ronin app, it’s surprisingly easy to get the shots you want without a Hollywood-level budget.

Weighing only 1.24 kg (2.7 lbs), the Ronin-SC is a lightweight choice that’s easy to tote around and even easier to handle. And right now, it’s an early Black Friday deal. If you’ve been waiting to up your video content game, now’s the time to snap it up.

Connections: Sports Edition is a new version of the popular New York Times word game that seeks to test the knowledge of sports fans.

Like the original Connections, the game is all about finding the "common threads between words." And just like Wordle, Connections resets after midnight and each new set of words gets trickier and trickier—so we've served up some hints and tips to get you over the hurdle.

If you just want to be told today's puzzle, you can jump to the end of this article for Nov. 11's Connections solution. But if you'd rather solve it yourself, keep reading for some clues, tips, and strategies to assist you.

SEE ALSO: Mahjong, Sudoku, free crossword, and more: Play games on Mashable What is Connections Sports Edition?

The NYT's latest daily word game has launched in association with The Athletic, the New York Times property that provides the publication's sports coverage. Connections can be played on both web browsers and mobile devices and require players to group four words that share something in common.

Tweet may have been deleted

Each puzzle features 16 words and each grouping of words is split into four categories. These sets could comprise of anything from book titles, software, country names, etc. Even though multiple words will seem like they fit together, there's only one correct answer.

If a player gets all four words in a set correct, those words are removed from the board. Guess wrong and it counts as a mistake—players get up to four mistakes until the game ends.

Players can also rearrange and shuffle the board to make spotting connections easier. Additionally, each group is color-coded with yellow being the easiest, followed by green, blue, and purple. Like Wordle, you can share the results with your friends on social media.

Not the day you're after? Here's the solution to yesterday's Mini Crossword.

If you're reading this, you're looking for a little help playing Strands, the New York Times' elevated word-search game.

Strands requires the player to perform a twist on the classic word search. Words can be made from linked letters — up, down, left, right, or diagonal, but words can also change direction, resulting in quirky shapes and patterns. Every single letter in the grid will be part of an answer. There's always a theme linking every solution, along with the "spangram," a special, word or phrase that sums up that day's theme, and spans the entire grid horizontally or vertically.

By providing an opaque hint and not providing the word list, Strands creates a brain-teasing game that takes a little longer to play than its other games, like Wordle and Connections.

Alternate Wordle versions created by fans also sprang up, including battle royale Squabble, music identification game Heardle, and variations like Dordle and Quordle that make you guess multiple words at once. 

Wordle eventually became so popular that it was purchased by the New York Times, and TikTok creators even livestream themselves playing.

The NYT's latest daily word game has become a social media hit. The Times credits associate puzzle editor Wyna Liu with helping to create the new word game and bringing it to the publications' Games section. Connections can be played on both web browsers and mobile devices and require players to group four words that share something in common.

Each puzzle features 16 words and each grouping of words is split into four categories. These sets could comprise of anything from book titles, software, country names, etc. Even though multiple words will seem like they fit together, there's only one correct answer.

If a player gets all four words in a set correct, those words are removed from the board. Guess wrong and it counts as a mistake—players get up to four mistakes until the game ends.

Players can also rearrange and shuffle the board to make spotting connections easier. Additionally, each group is color-coded with yellow being the easiest, followed by green, blue, and purple. Like Wordle, you can share the results with your friends on social media.

Not the day you're after? Here's the solution to yesterday's Connections.

The search involving Shayne Coplan, the founder of Polymarket, known for its presidential election odds, was part of a criminal investigation, three people said.

The hardest thing about picking a gift card may seem like choosing just one retailer from the many choices.

After all, which gift card will truly delight your tech-loving best friend—Amazon or Apple? What about the co-worker who loves to dine out? Should you go with DoorDash or a national chain like Olive Garden?

While you may be focused on personalizing your pick, there's something you may have overlooked entirely: the possibility that someone has already collected the data they need from the back of that card to steal the money you're about to put on it.

The problem with this very real nationwide scam is that it sounds improbable.

But thieves, who are often members of organized criminal networks, go into stores with gift card displays, pocket numerous cards, and tamper with the packaging in order to steal the barcode and PIN that recipients use to activate their card. Sometimes the fraud happens within the store itself, when a cashier swaps out your paid card for a dud during the activation process.

Either way, when the recipient attempts to access their gifted funds, the balance is confusingly zero.

The exact amount of gift card fraud is unclear, but if even one percent of the annual $570 billion Americans load on to gift cards each year is scammed, that could put consumer losses at more than $5 billion, according to an estimate provided to ProPublica.

Aside from purchasing a digital or electronic gift card directly from the retailer or brand, there is no guaranteed way to avoid becoming a victim of gift card draining. But practicing these expert tips can add layers of protection:

1. Inspect the gift card before buying it.

Some scammers have gotten so good at tampering with gift cards that consumers don't know the difference. While legislation passed in Maryland this year could ultimately improve gift card security nationwide, the products are still vulnerable to tampering.

That's why the Federal Trade Commission recommends making sure that a card still has its protective sticker, and that it doesn't appear to have been manipulated. The PIN number on the back also should not be visible. If you suspect a card has been tampered with, give it to a store employee and choose a different one.

2. Keep a copy of the gift card and the store receipt.

The FTC recommends taking a picture of both the gift card and your purchase receipt. The card information, plus the transaction data on the receipt, can help you report fraud to both the gift card company and the store.

The FTC maintains contact information for major gift card companies. If you don't see contact information for your card on the FTC's list, try using the details provided on the card itself. Report it to the FTC if the card issuer cannot be reached or refuses to speak with you.

3. Buy gift cards from trustworthy merchants.

You might be tempted to buy a gift card from an online auction site or other third party, but their offerings may be fake or stolen. For extra peace of mind, Jory MacKay, head of editorial content for the online safety product Aura, recommends buying gift cards directly from the brand's website.

4. Purchase a gift card using a credit card with fraud protection.

If you have a credit card with fraud-protection benefits, MacKay suggests using it for a gift card purchase. That's because credit cards typically offer better security for unauthorized charges and may come with $0 fraud liability if you've been deceived by a scam. Be sure to keep the receipt as it will have details you may need to share with the credit card company.

5. Consider buying multiple gift cards instead of one card for a large amount.

Sure it can be satisfying to hand a loved one a gift card for an eye-popping value, but purchasing a number of smaller cards instead may be the wiser move, says MacKay. This way, your loss may be minimal if you unknowingly bought a drained card.

6. Register the card online, if possible.

You can register some gift cards online, which typically offers more protection and options to freeze the card or track the balance, says MacKay. It's also easier to report a drained card when it's been registered.

7. Quickly use the card's balance.

When you hand the card to the recipient, you might gently encourage them to spend the balance sooner than later, and register it if that's not already been done.

MacKay says unused cards are more vulnerable to potential theft and hacking.

If the card you gifted has a balance of zero, MacKay recommends first checking to make sure you have the receipt.

Then, contact the retailer or card issuer. They can help you determine whether the card was drained or tampered with prior to purchase. MacKay says that trusted stores and brands are likely to replace or refund the card, especially if you're quick to report the problem.

"The key is to act fast—getting on top of the issue early can help make sure your recipient gets the full value of their gift," MacKay says.
