We used to celebrate Black Friday as just a single day after Thanksgiving, and now it's turned into much more. This year, Amazon is running a Black Friday Week promo, which starts today and runs all the way through Black Friday. There will be tons of deals to be had, and the first wave includes a bunch of the company's own hardware like the Fire Tablet, Kindle, Echo Link Amp, and even bundles with Ring Doorbell Cameras. This is not all of the company's devices, though Amazon has stated previously that more discounts would drop throughout the whole week. Whether you are looking to get started on holiday shopping for someone on your list, or happen to be in the market for some new gadgets for yourself, you won't want to miss out on these deals. Let's take a look at everything available at a discount right now.

The Galaxy A71 is likely to be launched sometime early next year. What you need to know Popular leaker @OnLeaks has collaborated with CashKaro to release the first CAD-based renders of the Samsung Galaxy A71. The renders reveal an Infinity-O display and an L-shaped quad camera array on the back. It is rumored that the upcoming mid-range smartphone will sport a 6.7-inch FHD+ display and Qualcomm's Snapdragon 675 chipset. Earlier this month, we got our first look at Samsung's upcoming Galaxy A51 mid-range smartphone, courtesy of leaker @OnLeaks. The reliable leaker has now teamed up with CashKaro to give us our first clear look at another upcoming A-series smartphone from Samsung, the Galaxy A71. The renders suggest the Galaxy A71 will not be very different from the Galaxy A51 in terms of design. It will have a single hole-punch cutout at the top of the display, similar to the Galaxy Note 10 series. The phone will also have minimal bezels on all sides. On the back of th... […]

The licenses relate to 'non-essential' goods. What you need to know The Commerce Department started issuing its responses to over 290 requests from U.S. firms for licenses to trade with Huawei this Wednesday. A day later, a group of senators has written to President Trump to stop the issuance of these licenses. The group includes Chuck Schumer, Tom Cotton, Elizabeth Warren, Cory Booker, and Rick Scott, among others. Just as it seemed Huawei execs had finally claimed a victory in the company's ongoing spat with the U.S. government, dark clouds hang over its fate again. A day after the Commerce Department began issuing American companies licenses to start supplying Huawei with 'non-essential' goods — things crucial to its success, like Google's mobile services — a team of Republican and Democratic senators has now called on the Trump administration to stop issuing said licenses. The 14 senators include Senate Minority leader Chuck Schumer, democratic presidential nomi... […]

With Disney+, we can now watch all of our favorite classic Disney films, as well as other content from Pixar, Lucasfilm, Marvel, National Geographic, and Fox, all in one place. Disney+ is still in its infancy though, so it's not uncommon to see playback issues, such as buffering, while watching your shows and movies. Luckily there's something you can do about it. Make sure your Internet speeds meet the minimum requirements Quality of video played through Disney+ will depend entirely on your Internet connection speed. The quality automatically adjusts itself based on the speed available at the moment, so if it's fluctuating a lot, then it'll be very noticeable as you watch. For best video quality, Disney+ recommends the following: 5.0 Mbps for High Definition content 25.0 Mbps for 4K UHD content Maintaining a consistent connection with those speeds will guarantee good playback quality. You should also check on how many simultaneous video streams or other high-bandwidth activiti... […]

The game may not look as vibrant, but it works. Google Stadia launched a few days ago and it's safe to say that the launch didn't go as planned. A lot of gamers who preordered still don't have their devices, and there are reports of a number of other problems. However, the biggest issue we've seen on social media is the picture quality. Many reviewers even noted that "4K doesn't look like 4K." Well, you'll be happy to know that we have a quick way to fix image quality. If you're one of the users who's seeing blurry visuals when you're playing Stadia through the Chromecast Ultra, you should think about turning off high dynamic range lighting (HDR). On many games, it appears to dramatically increase the resolution. Below, you can see a table of the improvements to image quality we witnessed after turning off HDR from the Stadia app on Android. We tested a number of games that users are likely to pick up at launch. Game With HDR Resolution Without HDR Resolution Frame Ra... […]

Android has its own special variant of the Linux kernel and that's not a good thing. But, for now, at least, it's a necessity. Why can't it be more like everything else? Google once again had a major presence at the yearly gathering of top Linux developers known as the Linux Plumbers Conference. This is where all the smart people who work hard to make the framework that most of the world's computers run on gather so they can iron out all the problems that any project this big is bound to have. Since Android is by far the most popular operating system that runs atop of Linux, having it be more "standard" and comparable to the rest is really important. Regrettably, it's not even close because of the way vendors support components and manufacturers put them all together. Much has been done and Google has some plans to make things even better. Ron Amadeo at Ars Technica has done a great job at trying to make sense of it all in a way everyone can understand, so if reading about forking... […]

Half-Life finally returns, though in a way most players probably weren't expecting. It's been 12 years since an official Half-Life game release, so many fans simply gave up hope that Valve would return to the franchise. However, prayers have been answered, and Valve has announced Half-Life is making a return — though not in a way that most people were expecting.
