Tile trackers are among the many, many products that are on sale this Black Friday, and some of the bundles have hit all-time-low prices. The Performance Pack, which includes one Tile Pro and one Tile Slim (the credit-card sized one), has dropped from $60 to $42.
The Pro Essentials bundle is also currently at the lowest price we’ve seen for it. For $70 (regularly $100), you’ll get two Tile Pros, a Tile Slim and a Tile Sticker.
It’s worth noting that the packs include the 2020 versions of the products, not the latest, more powerful versions Tile announced in October. The 2020 Sticker has a 150-foot range. Slim has a 200-foot range, and Pro has double that. Sticker and Slim are waterproof, and Pro is water resistant (and has the loudest ring). Each has a three-year battery life, though the Pro’s battery is replaceable.
Some of the latest Tiles are on sale too. A two-pack of the 2022 Tile Mate is down from $48 to $35, while you can save $15 on a two-pack of the 2022 Tile Sticker. That bundle is currently $40.
Tile devices are Bluetooth trackers designed to help you find misplaced items. There’s a crowdsourcing function that lets Tile other users ping the location of a tracker that’s out of your own Bluetooth range, a setup that’s become more commonplace in other trackers, like Apple AirTags.
If you’re interested in picking up these products at these prices, you might need to move swiftly. These are one-day-only deals.

If there’s one thing we’ve come to learn, it’s that you cannot trust the British Government to get anything right about popular culture (or anythingelse, really). But the latest bit of genre farce from the halls of Westminster in the UK might just be taking the biscuit for its most ludicrous entry into the culture…
There has been a lot of speculation as of late when it comes to Intel’s upcoming Arc Alchemist GPU. But a tweet from Intel’s own Community Advocate and driver guru has some thinking ahead to the GPU’s fourth generation called Druid.

Your friends and family may not have microSD cards and portable hard drives on their wish lists, but they are some of the most useful gadgets you can give someone. With so much of our lives stored on our devices, anyone could use a little more digital space for photos, documents, games and more. Black Friday has brought a ton of sales on storage devices, knocking hundreds off some of the most expensive models and bringing even the most budget-friendly accessories down to dirt-cheap prices. We gathered the best deals we could find here so you don’t have to go searching for them.
Crucial MX500
One of our favorite SSDs, the Crucial MX500, is on sale for $85, or just a few dollars more than its record-low price. It’s a standard 2.5-inch drive that works with both laptops and desktops, making it a good option if you need more space or just want to upgrade from a slow HDD. It also has AES-256 bit hardware encryption and integrated power loss immunity.
Samsung’s EVO Select microSDXC card in 128GB is down to $16, or 20 percent off its normal price. This is the latest model and while you can find microSD cards for less, EVO is a reliable brand and you’re getting a full-sized adapter with this one.
Patriot’s Viper VP4300 internal SSD in 2TB is 14 percent off right now, knocking it down to $370. This is our favorite SSD for the PS5 thanks to its sequential read speeds of 7,400MB/s and preinstalled heatsink.
The Samsung T7 SSD in 1TB is down to a record low of $110, which is 35 percent off and the best price we’ve seen. You can also get the 1TB T7 Touch with a built-in fingerprint reader for 21 percent off, or $150. It has reads speeds up to 1,050 MB/s and write speeds up to 1,000 MB/s, plus it has a shock-resistant unibody and support for Dynamic Thermal Guard to control heat levels.
Samsung’s 980 Pro is one of the best internal SSDs you can get right now and it’s on sale for $170. It has sequential read speeds up to 7,000MB/s and it’ll work with the PS5 as long as you have a heatsink attached.
SanDisk’s tough and tiny Extreme portable SSD in 1TB is half off for Black Friday, bringing it down to $120. This model remains a bit more expensive than others, but you’re paying for added physical protections. Not only is it small enough to fit in the palm of your hand, but it’s also IP55 water- and dust-resistant and it can withstand drops from up to two meters. It also has password protection and 256‐bit AES hardware encryption.
PNY’s XLR8 CS3040 SSD in 1TB is 31 percent off, bringing it down to a record low of $125. It has sequential read speeds up to 5,600MB/s, and while it’s compatible with the PS5, you will need to add your own cooling solution.
Sabrent’s Rocket 4 Plus internal SSD has dropped to $160. In addition to already being more affordable than many competitors, it provides read speeds up to 7,000 MB/s and write speeds up to 5,300 MB/s when connected to a PCIe Gen4 motherboard.
Crucial’s P5 NAND NVMe SSD in 1TB is on sale for $145 right now, or 19 percent off its regular rate. This drive can reach sequential read speeds of up to 3,400MB/s and its M.2 format makes it a good option for both desktop and laptop users.
The Crucial X6 portable drive in 1TB is on sale for $80, or 38 percent off its normal price. We like it for its fast 540 MB/s read speeds, durable design that’s shock, drop, vibration and temperature resistant and its compatibility with a wide range of devices — including the PS5.
Lexar’s Professional SD cards are on sale for $60 for a 64GB card and $100 for a 128GB card. These are good options for photographers and videographers and most capacities have been discounted right now, so you should be able to find precisely the right model you need.

We’ve seen the second-gen Amazon Echo Show 8’s price rise and fall over the past few months, but the e-commerce giant waited until Black Friday to list it for its lowest price yet. You can now get the smart display for $90, $40 less than its original price of $130. The Echo Show 8 listing that comes with six months of free Amazon Music Unlimited also costs $90 at the moment, while the Blink Mini camera bundle that was originally being sold for $165 now only costs $95.
In addition, you can get the bundle that comes with a battery base for $40 less at $140, while the bundle with an adjustable stand now only costs $112. The latter is currently $43 less than its original price. We praised the second-gen Echo Show 8 for its minimalist design and features that make it great for video calls in our review. It has a digital pan-and-zoom face-tracking feature that can follow you while you move around and ensure you’re in the frame. The tool works on every video calling platform available for the device, including Skype and Zoom.
We also praised the device’s beautiful display with a resolution of 1,280 x 800 pixels and its sound quality that’s better than the Echo Show 5. Unlike its smaller sibling, the bigger device has two speakers instead of one, giving it the capability to deliver surprisingly powerful bass and an impressive volume. Amazon’s Echo Show 8 can serve as a great digital photo frame, alarm clock and kitchen tool to display recipes while cooking. But in case you’re looking for something else, a bunch of other Amazon Echo devices went on sale a few days ago. They include the Echo speaker at $60, the smaller Echo Show 5 at $45 and the 1st-gen Echo Show 8 for $65.

Game installs are not exactly shrinking, and even game updates can sometimes require an enormous amount of storage space. There’s good news, though—Black Friday is here and it brought with it some delightful discounts on solid state drives. We’re talking about savings of up to 60% off the MSRP, with some drives falling to their all-time low.
As Apple continues to struggle to keep its new product announcements secret until it’s ready for a big on-stage reveal, a new report has revealed some interesting details about the company’s long-rumored AR headset, including the fact that it may be a standalone product and not dependent on an iPhone.
Black Friday, Cyber Monday and likely the end-of-the year holiday shopping season all have a more prosaic tinge to them this year. Those lusting after electronic gadgets — and even cars — have learned to settle more for what they can get than what they want. The reason, of course: shortages of electronic components. From a report: Everyone has a story like my dentist, who told me that he’d given up trying to buy a new Audi after his car was totaled in an accident. The car he’d wanted to replace it with wasn’t available, and even if it was, the dealers were adding $5,000 to the sticker price of new vehicles, he told me. He settled for a used model. Meanwhile at home, I’m several months into the wait for a docking station for my wife’s work laptop.
The consensus from the industry executives I speak to as a chip reporter is that at some point, most likely toward the middle of 2022, supply and demand will come into balance. Why has it taken so long? Building chip plants is very hard and very slow. Even if every chipmaker in the world started building a plant this time last year in response to rising demand, that effort would likely not have resulted in the manufacture of a single chip in time for Black Friday. It simply costs too much and takes too long to build manufacturing infrastructure, and then when you do, it takes three months for silicon to be made into the brains of your iPhone, or the sensor for your SUV that stops you from closing the tailgate on your head. Earlier this year Advanced Micro Devices Chief Executive Officer Lisa Su told Bloomberg’s Emily Chang that the chip shortage wasn’t a catastrophe and that the industry, which has seen boom and bust cycles before, would adjust output soon enough.
When everything is working the way it’s supposed to, you might assume that tap water is pretty consistent across the board in terms of what’s in it, and how it can affect your home and your body. But in reality, that’s not the case. There are multiple ways tap water can differ depending on the community, but today…
As the probe Solar Orbiter skims by Earth on its way toward the Sun, debris from the Russian anti-satellite missile test (ASAT) could endanger its mission.

Bitcoin price drops below $55,000 for the first time in the past 30 days.
Bitcoin, ETH, XRP and XRP prices have dropped over 6 since news of a new Covid strain broke out.
The strain was identified in South Africa and global markets, and equities have tanked.
Over $265 billion was wiped off the overall crypto market within an hour of the news; cryptocurrencies are now trading at a steep discount on Black Friday.
If fear and uncertainty grow, governments may likely reintroduce lockdown restrictions that stress the economy, analysts say. If that happens, it would be a sign that the economy will be in a state of instability.
The decline implies that cryptocurrencies are yet to be accepted as a safe haven during unprecedented times, says an investment director at AJ Bell’s Russ Mould. Mould, a cryptocurrency analyst, believes that traders are currently pricing in higher odds of low liquidity. If there is a shortage of liquidity, it will be difficult to rely on low-security measures to protect investors, he says. If it continues to grow, it is possible that governments may need to crack down on Bitcoin, he said.
Bitcoin enters bear market territory as risk assets plunge on new Covid variant
The cryptocurrency is down 20% from an all-time high of nearly $69,000 which it hit earlier this month.
Earlier this year, Anker unveiled its second-gen gallium-nitride (GaN) chargers that are smaller than ever, but offer up to 65W of power — enough to charge an M1 MacBook Pro at full speed. Now, you can pick up the Nano II 65W charger today only for just $31.50, a savings of 43 percent over the regular $55 price. It’s also selling the Nano II 45W model for $28, or $12 off the regular price. On top of the Nano II products, Anker has all-time low deals on its external battery chargers, too.
Anker’s next-gen GaN chargers are more efficient, smaller and better at regulating temperatures than the first generation of devices, thanks to a new design and chips. They come with a USB-C port and intelligently allocate the optimal wattage to whichever device is plugged in. If you don’t need quite that much power, Anker is also selling the original Nano in a two-pack for $20.29, or 35 percent off the normal price.
The company also has some stellar deals on its external batteries, for today only. The Anker Power Bank is a 10,000 mAh portabe USB-C charger with 20 watts of power delivery, letting you charge up your iOS or Android smartphone at a rapid rate. If the normal price of $35 gave you pause, you can now grab one in black for just $20.
For more capacity and ports, Anker’s PowerCore 268800 Portable Charger offers 26,800mAh with 20W charger, and three ports for iPhone, Android and other smart devices. It’s now on sale for $40 instead of $66, for a savings of $26 or 39 percent. Again, the sale is on today only for Black Friday.

After a year of development, a new stable branch of the Wireshark 3.6 network analyzer has been released. Recall that initially the project developed under the name Ethereal, but in 2006, due to a conflict with the owner of the Ethereal trademark, the developers were forced to rename the project to Wireshark. The project code is distributed under the GPLv2 license.
It’s kind of mind-blowing to think about just how much of an impact the 2004 film Shaun of the Dead had on modern film history. To start, though the trio had worked together before on a show called Spaced, the film, for the most part, introduced us to director Edgar Wright and actors Simon Pegg and Nick Frost. Wright…

Cleaning up plastic in the ocean might seem indisputably like a good idea. After all, the oceans make up more than 70% of our planet, and we have basically trashed them. The world dumps a jaw-dropping 17.6 billion pounds (8 billion kilograms) of new plastic into the oceans each year.
