This Linux distro updates Tor Browser and kernel for safer anonymous browsing

How-To Geek - 2 hours 19 min ago

Privacy-focused operating systems have a tricky job, as they need to protect users from online tracking but keep the tools that make that protection possible up to date. That’s a constant battle for Tails, the Linux distribution built around anonymous browsing and leaving as few traces as possible on the computer it runs on. The latest release continues that effort with an updated Tor Browser and a newer Linux kernel.

Mini PCs beat the Raspberry Pi at almost everything now, except these five jobs

How-To Geek - 2 hours 20 min ago

At one point in time, the Raspberry Pi was a go-to system for homelabbing and DIY hobby projects. I really wish that was still the case. These days, mini PCs reign supreme in many areas. However, the Raspberry Pi is still the best choice for these five reasons, and a mini PC doesn't even come close.

Nvidia stock plunges as CEO Jensen Huang resigns: How low it might go

Mashable - 2 hours 35 min ago

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has just resigned from the company he co-founded amid reports of two alleged affairs, including one with a woman that U.S. intelligence believes is a Chinese spy, according to a bombshell New York Times report.

Thanks to the AI boom, Nvidia has become one of the most valuable companies in the world. And, as a result, Huang had seemingly become the de facto head of the AI industry. Huang's resignation will not only send reverberations through the tech world, but the broader global economy as well.

As one could assume, Wall Street didn't take the news well.

As of Thursday morning, Nvidia stock had plunged on the news of the affairs and rumors about a possible resignation from Huang. So far, the stock has struggled to rebound after Nvidia's board of directors announced the official CEO transition.

Nvidia stock hit as low as $152 per share when the stock market opened. It's currently trading around $162 per share as of publication time, showing some recovery now that the resignation is official.

Nvidia's Wall Street woes began on Nov. 8 when Jensen Huang confirmed the reports that he had been having an affair. Outlets including the New York Times and Financial Times identified the woman involved as Alice Huang (no relation), an executive at a Singapore-based company, Megaspeed. U.S. intelligence strongly believes that Huang has been working with China's top intelligence agency as a spy, according to the Times.

Since then, Nvidia has lost more than $450 billion in market value. The stock has dropped by more than 27 percent over the past five days of trading.

Nvidia stock is currently trading at its lowest price in over a year. How much lower will the stock go? That's unclear. 

As previously mentioned, the stock is up a bit as of publication. With Nvidia announcing a new interim CEO in Colette Kress, Nvidia stock price could stabilize. Or the current price-per-share rebound could be a temporary bump from traders buying the dip.

Nvidia live updates: Jensen Huang is out as CEO

Mashable - 2 hours 36 min ago

Jensen Huang officially resigned as Nvidia CEO on Thursday morning, a seismic event in the tech industry.

Nvidia is one of the most valuable companies in the world, with a nearly $4 trillion valuation, and Huang was the company's original CEO and co-founder. The company's board of directors shared a CEO transition plan on its website, saying Huang has also resigned as president and as a member of the board, effective immediately.

The company's CFO, Colette Kress, will serve as interim CEO, while also maintaining her CFO responsibilities. The board has begun searching for a new CEO, looking both inside and outside the company.

The tech industry has been closely watching Nvidia and its stock ever since news first broke by the New York Times that Huang had not one, but two affairs, including one with an accused Chinese spy. Nvidia chips provide much of the compute that powers the fast-growing AI industry, and so Huang's alleged entanglement with a possible Chinese spy wasn't just a typical executive PR scandal, but a national security issue.

The story is still developing, so keep checking back for the latest Nvidia news and live updates.

The Jensen Huang affair: What happened

Last Friday, New York Times and Financial Times reported dropped a bomb on the tech industry. The publications reported that Huang had an affair with a woman the U.S. intelligence community believed to be a Chinese spy. China disputed these accusations, of course, but the Times reported that Secretary of State Marco Rubio personally wrote a memo alerting President Donald Trump to the situation in the spring.

On Nov. 8, Huang posted a personal message to the Nvidia website, admitting to and apologizing for the affair.

"I owe my family and all of you an apology," Huang wrote. "I was unfaithful to my wife. My actions hurt her and our children. There is no excuse for what I did. I am deeply sorry."

It was unclear whether Huang would be able to hold on to his position as CEO, and the Nvidia board of directors announced it had opened an investigation into the incident.

But on Wednesday, news of a second affair may have sealed Huang's fate. The New York Times reported that Huang had another extramarital affair with another Nvidia executive who reported to him. The Times identified that executive as Kimberly Powell, Nvidia's vice president of healthcare.

This is a developing story. The latest Nvidia news will be posted live on this page...

But for Mashable's shopping team, it means only one thing: It's time to prep for Black Friday sales.

Google launches Intelligent Eyewear collection with smart glasses from Gentle Monster and Warby Parker

Mashable - 3 hours 34 min ago

Google's Gemini-powered smart glasses are here.

On Thursday morning, Google lifted the veil off the specs it announced in collaboration with Samsung over the summer. The glasses, which come in several different designs and colors courtesy of both Gentle Monster and Warby Parker, are part of a collection dubbed "Intelligent Eyewear." Perhaps most importantly, we now have price points for these glasses: Gentle Monster's start at $449, while Warby Parker's start at $395.

These glasses are available for preorder now, and will ship on Dec. 10.

Before we get into the particulars of what you can expect from the different manufacturers, all of these glasses have Gemini built in, which works with open-ear speakers that can also be used to play music, podcasts, and audiobooks. They can also pair with both Android and iOS. Naturally, there's also a 12MP camera for shooting videos and taking photos, as well as showing Gemini what the user is seeing.

SEE ALSO: Xreal Aura: Preorders open for smart glasses powered by Google Android XR

Google also included an on/off switch that allegedly just turns them into normal glasses when switched to off. A small LED will also alert anyone nearby that you're shooting or recording with the camera, and those functions will not work if the LED is covered. Google is rating the battery for nine hours on a charge, but the glasses also come with charging cases to give them more juice when not in use.

On the Warby Parker side of things, you can choose from the Wren, Reid, and Alden styles, with optical and sun variants. You also get three color choices: jet black, saddle, and pine.

Meanwhile, Gentle Monster is offering six different frames in colors like pink, gray, yellow, and dark red. You can also get clear, blue, brown, or tinted lenses if you want.

Jensen Huang leaves Nvidia after taking the company to unprecedented heights

How-To Geek - 3 hours 47 min ago

Nvidia has spent the last few years becoming one of the most powerful companies in the technology industry. And the man who built it, Jensen Huang, the leather-jacketed face of the AI boom, has just announced his resignation as President, CEO, and board member with immediate effect after 33 years at the helm. Nvidia is handing the keys to its CFO, Colette Kress, in the interim. This has triggered one of the biggest leadership changes in the semiconductor industry.

Don't toss that old power bank in the trash — here's where it actually goes

How-To Geek - 3 hours 50 min ago

Batteries have a finite lifespan, even rechargeable ones. Unlike dry-cell batteries, though, you can't just chuck your old power bank in the garbage bin. Most power banks are made of lithium-ion. They have a liquid electrolyte, which makes them highly flammable from the get-go, so tossing them in a bin could potentially cause a fire. There are several safe ways to dispose of an old power bank that you should follow.

The Apple Watch Series 11 is $100 off in Walmarts early Black Friday sale

SAVE $100: As of Nov. 12, the Apple Watch Series 11 is on sale for up to 25% off during Walmart's Black Friday sale. Get a GPS-only model for only $299 (normally $399) or the cellular-enabled version for $399 (typically $499).

Walmart's first Black Friday event just kicked off, and with it comes one of the best smartwatch deals of the holiday season (so far).

Last year's Apple Watch Series 11 is now $100 off at Walmart. Shoppers can snag a GPS-only base model with a jet black aluminum case and a black Sport Band for only $299, or 25% off. If you need one with a cellular connection, it'll cost you $399 (normally $499 — a 20% savings), and you can take your pick from four case and band combinations:

  • Jet black aluminum case with black Sport Band

  • Rose gold aluminum case with light blush Sport Band

  • Silver aluminum case with purple fog Sport Band

  • Space gray aluminum case with black Sport Band

The Series 11 earned a Mashable Choice Award for its big battery life upgrade. Compared to the Series 10 from 2024, it lasts up to six hours longer for a total of 24 hours. The brand-new Apple Watch Series 12 has the same battery life, though it charges a bit faster.

The Series 11 doesn't have the same upgraded optical and electrical sensors as the Series 12, and its processor is a generation behind. So, it doesn't support consistent heart rate readings or features like Readiness and Siri Recap. But their designs and core feature sets (via watchOS 27) are identical; the Series 11 offers hypertension notifications, a Sleep Score metric, and Workout Buddy support. It remains a good option for folks who aren't interested in the most cutting-edge health tracking tools — and those who are a little sketched out by Audio Intelligence.

Nintendo reveals Black Friday 2026 deals: Save $50 on the Switch 2 and select games start at $39.99

Mashable - 4 hours 9 min ago

TL;DR: Nintendo has announced plans for Black Friday in 2026: From Nov. 22 through Dec. 5, the Nintendo Switch 2 + Mario Kart World bundle will be available for $499.99 ($50 off).

Have you been holding off on upgrading your handheld setup after Nintendo’s painful September hardware price hikes? You're not alone. Times are tough right now in the world of tech, but Black Friday is finally giving you a clean window to strike back.

Nintendo has officially revealed its 2026 Black Friday lineup, locking in bundle discounts and $20 price cuts across flagship games. The headline deal is undoubtedly the Nintendo Switch 2 and Mario Kart World bundle. You can pick up this popular bundle for $499.99 from Nov. 22 through Dec. 5, saving you $50 on list price.

Opens in a new window Credit: Nintendo Nintendo Switch 2 and Mario Kart World   Shop Now

Early digital game deals kick off on Nintendo starting Nov. 19, followed by physical game discounts at major retailers including Amazon, Best Buy, Target, Walmart, and GameStop from Nov. 22-29.

Should you wait for Black Friday to shop?

The short answer is yes.

After raising the standalone Switch 2 base price to $499.99 in September, Nintendo’s Black Friday promotion effectively gives you a launch title and online access for free. Buying the console, Mario Kart World ($79.99 value), and a three-month Nintendo Switch Online membership separately would easily push your cart close to $600. That makes this $499.99 bundle deal pretty appealing.

Nintendo is also knocking $20 off some of the year’s biggest first-party physical releases, including Super Mario Galaxy + Super Mario Galaxy 2, Donkey Kong Bananza, Metroid Prime 4: Beyond (both Switch 2 and original Switch editions), and Kirby Air Riders.

Patience, gamers. The time to shop is coming.
