The shopping holiday has started and there are some great Black Friday deals around, with one such highlight being Samsung’s sale. Right now, you can buy the Samsung Galaxy Watch FE for just $160, meaning you’re saving $40 off the regular price of $200. Even better, if you have an old smartwatch to trade in, you can get an extra $50 off so you could potentially pay just $110.

The recent protest against OpenAI by its unpaid beta testers has once again demonstrated that the goals of well-funded AI companies are often at odds with the goals of the artists whose time is used in testing or whose work has been used to train the AI in the first place.

As Black Friday expands to become Black Week, we’re already seeing more and more stunning discounts for cool tech. Case in point? This gaming-capable Acemagician AMR5 mini PC for just $309 on Amazon. That’s a gigantic drop from its original $499 price tag, and a killer price for the hardware it’s packing inside.

I’m in the market for a new iPhone right now. But which one should I pick? The iPhone 15 and iPhone 16 are both appealing options, and there are currently some pretty good deals. Still… it’s not going to be cheap. If money’s the issue, what about Apple’s budget-focused iPhone SE? The current model is two and a half years old and got poor reviews when it was new. But a new 4th-gen model is expected to hit the market next spring, with updated components and design, and a price tag under $500.

The buzz around the web is that Nvidia’s next-gen graphics cards will be coming sometime in early 2025. We don’t know how much they’ll cost, but “a whole helluva lot” seems like a safe bet. And apparently that’ll be true even if you’re buying them in a massive industrial server, which is the first place where we’ve seen a price attached.

I’m talking about things like a surge protector, screen cleaning kit, and USB hub. Getting the right cable for your monitor (HDMI or DisplayPort 1.4) is a big consideration too.
