Black Friday deals have discounted the DJI Osmo Pocket 3 by a ton. The vlogging camera is down to $510 right now, which is 36 percent off its usual price. While that's off the earlier low of $502, it's probably the best deal you'll find on the Pocket 3 for some time, considering US tariffs recently forced DJI to jack up prices . When DJI's Osmo Pocket 3 came out I said it was maybe the only vlogging camera you need. To start with, it has a big one-inch sensor that boosts image quality considerab

Were you a Lego-set kid or a giant-bucket-of-Legos kid? I was a sets kid all the way I loved, and still love, the zen feeling of building something incredible a little bit at a time.

Most people think of vacuums or viral hair styling devices when they think of Dyson, but I think of heaters and fans. That's because one of my favorite pieces of tech in my home is this Dyson AM09 heater and fan , and now it's on sale for $300 for Black Friday. That's one of the best prices I've seen, and we last saw it so low during October Prime Day earlier this year. My love for the AM09 is well documented . I picked it up over five years ago for $280 on super-sale at QVC. I'll get into what

Welcome to our latest roundup of what's going on in the indie game space. Even though it's a truncated week in the US with the long holiday weekend, there's still been a spate of new releases and news on upcoming games.

In the spirit of the season, one thing I'm thankful for is indie studios being able to make the games they want despite external pressures

The following contains mild spoilers for The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy. Following its birth as a 1978 BBC Radio sitcom through its many and varied adaptations , Douglas Adams The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy has become an enduring part of our culture. Despite the fact its satire centers on the anxieties of Britain at the tail end of the 70s, its unique wit and surrealism have brought it worldwide fame.

I sat down to write this story hoping to point people to deals on RAM kits for their gaming PC builds, but after an extensive search, I'm sorry to say there aren't any promotions worth even considering.

Take this 32GB kit of 6,000MHz DDR5 RAM from G.Skill I found on Newegg. It's one of t

Welcome back! I hope you had a great Thanksgiving. Meanwhile, were facing the annual torrent of Black Friday deals (and non-deals).
