Some pre- Black Friday deals are just too good to pass up, even if they take place before Black Friday. This Chromebook deal is one: no compromises. www.pcworld.com/article/2984...
I think the best Black Friday Chromebook deal just launched early
I always look for no-compromise Black Friday Chromebooks at the lowest price, and this $149 Lenovo IdeaPad 3i deal at Amazon is at or close to the best Chromebook deal you'll find for 2025.

Fox announced a massive new podcast on the life of Jesus starring Kristen Bell as the voice of Mary Magdalene.
Bell was blindsided by the announcement saying she recorded the audio for a separate project 15 years ago.

PCWorld normally recommends that you buy new hardware. But with tariffs and supply uncertainties, 2025 might be the year that you should be looking at used components and PCs. And no, not eBay. www.pcworld.com/article/2971...
Is 2025 the year that used hardware goes mainstream?
Move over, eBay: Jawa.gg, and competing sites are here. Take a page from the used car market and consider used hardware to fight tariffs and drive prices down during Black Friday

This is worth watching just to see how the sausage is made.
This clip from the documentary Art of the Surge gives some insight into how Trump's tweets are made.
Trump can be seen dictating to his aide Natalie Harp. We also see the entire room brainstorming, with Matt Gaetz and Stephen Miller contributing ideas.
