Tired of paying for Microsoft Word? These open-source alternatives get the job done

How-To Geek - Mon, 11/17/2025 - 12:31

I’ve been deeply entrenched in the Microsoft ecosystem for most of my career. From PowerPoint and Word to Excel and Teams, I’ve relied on them for everything from writing and editing to collaboration and file management. But over the years, the software has grown heavier, slower, and more expensive. Every new version seems to bring more features I don’t need and more nudges toward cloud subscriptions I never asked for. At some point, I began to think that I was spending more time managing licenses and updates than actually getting work done.

Pluribus episode 3: Can you actually stay at that ice hotel?

Mashable - Mon, 11/17/2025 - 11:18

Vince Gilligan's Pluribus is a show that raises many ethical dilemmas — but in episode 3, there’s a question that’s far easier to answer.

Can you actually stay at that cool ice hotel?

We've done some digging to find out.

What happens with the ice hotel in Pluribus episode 3? Credit: Apple TV

Episode 3 of the Apple TV series opens with a flashback to around seven years before the virus spreads across Earth. Celebrating the launch of a new book in The Winds of Wycaro series, author Carol Sturka (Rhea Seehorn) and her partner Helen (Miriam Shor) arrive for their stay at an ice hotel in Norway. Their guide, Bjorn, tells them the hotel was built using 300 tons of ice and over 10,000 tons of snow. He says it melts every summer and is rebuilt every year. Their room, which is a few degrees below zero and features an ice bed, is filled with sculptures and a window that gives the perfect view of the Northern Lights.

SEE ALSO: Carol's books in 'Pluribus' aren't real, but I need them to be

Helen loves it, while Carol is clearly a bit less keen — but if you wanted to, could you actually go and stay there yourself?

Featured Video For You 'Adults' creators Rebecca Shaw and Ben Kronengold react to fan fiction about the show Can you actually stay at that ice hotel?

The first point to make is that the ice hotel in Pluribus isn't actually named in the episode — because it's not a real hotel.

In the show, we learn the fictional hotel is in Norway and the room was sculpted by a winner of the Harbin Ice Sculpting Competition (which is real, even if the sculptor themself isn't). "Do we absolutely have to go to every wacky place Rick Steves recommends?" asks Carol at one point, referring to the American travel writer — but a quick search doesn't seem to bring up any specific recommendations from Steves.

The hotel in Pluribus was actually designed by production designer Denise Pizzini, who told Apple TV's official Pluribus podcast the set was made out of plastics and styrofoam, carved by sculptors.

"These ice hotels are seasonal, so they have different artists that come in and design these hotels. So we took that role on. It's like, well, if we were asked to design an ice hotel, what would we do?" she said.

"The way it read, [Carol and Helen] had to walk down a hall, so we had to have other hotel rooms. Our room was in the round, and it had to have a big skylight so they could see the Northern Lights. So we did a lot of research, first, with different plastics and stuff that would look like ice, because, again, we didn't want it to look like a set. We ended up getting these plastic cubes from Germany that looked the best.

"Then we hired some sculptors to come in, and our theme for that particular room, I thought having waves and Japanese koi would be kind of interesting, because it was round and the movement of the waves, and these guys, they sculpted it so beautifully."

So while you can't stay where Carol and Helen do in the show, you can definitely go and stay somewhere pretty close to that. Ice hotels in Norway do exist. Of these, the Sorrisniva Igloo Hotel — the country's northernmost igloo hotel — seems like a fairly close match, given it's also filled with ice sculptures and also melts away each Spring.

Pluribus is streaming on Apple TV, with a new episode every Friday.

IT: Welcome to Derry mid-season trailer teases a key event in the book

Mashable - Mon, 11/17/2025 - 11:01

We're halfway through IT: Welcome to Derry, and the second half of the season looks more clown-filled than ever.

In the footage above we see Dick Hallorann struggling with his visions, plenty more of Pennywise, and a shot of a burning building that looks like it may well be the fire at the Black Spot that takes place in the novels. This is one of several horrifying events that Mike Hanlon writes about in his history of Derry, upon which the show is based — it's also an event that marks the end of the creature's cycle.

IT: Welcome to Derry airs Sundays at 9 p.m. ET on HBO and HBO Max.

It's the season for great deals and discounts, and even though Black Friday is still a couple of weeks away, many retailers are bringing out great offers a little early. And one early deal that has caught our eye is on the JBL Tune Buds, currently at their best-ever price at Amazon. As of Nov. 17, these earbuds are priced at just $39.95. That's over half off, and a saving of $60 on list price.

They come in three colors (all available at the reduced price), so take your pick from black, blue, and white. For a price this low, you might not think you're getting all that much. But you'd be wrong to think that, very wrong.

SEE ALSO: We tested every pair of Bose headphones and earbuds. We found 5 we love, and 1 to buy on sale.

These earbuds use 10mm drivers to deliver JBL’s Pure Bass sound, so you get a deeper, more intense sound. They also benefit from active noise cancelling, with different modes with varying levels of sound blocking. Switch to Ambient Aware if you want to stay aware of what’s happening around you, or use TalkThru for quick conversations without having to take the buds out.

And it's not just the audio that's great, calls and voice notes stay clear thanks to the four-microphone setup. The VoiceAware feature also lets you tweak how much of your own voice you hear while talking. For battery life, enjoy up to 48 hours in total, or 40 hours if you keep noise cancelling on. When you're running low, just give them a quick 15-minute charge to get four hours of listening. Perfect for when you're heading out the door.

Amazon's Black Friday event officially kicks off on Nov. 20, but there's already some deals trickling in. And if you're trying to rush through your yearly reading challenge, maybe this Kindle Paperwhite deal will give you the motivation you need. As of Nov. 17, you can get a refurbished Kindle Paperwhite at Amazon for just $106.99. This is the best-ever price for this model, and a saving of $37 on list price.

This model is refurbished to a "like new" standard. This just means that it has been tested and certified to look and work like a new device, and it still comes with the same limited warranty as a new device. It might come in a generic Amazon box as opposed to Kindle packaging, but otherwise it's as if it's a brand new device.

SEE ALSO: I test Kindles for a living. These are the only e-reader deals I'd recommend shopping early.

This is a really advanced Kindle, and Amazon's fastest in the range. You'll feel this most significantly during faster page turns. It has a seven-inch display and its ultra-thin, glare-free design makes it easy to read wherever you are, no matter the lighting. You can shift the screen tone from white to amber for comfortable reading in bright sun or at night, and it’s waterproof so you can use it by the pool or in the bath.

The battery life is seriously impressive, promising to last up to 12 weeks on a single USB-C charge. And with this device you'll also get access to a huge library of over 15 million titles, with the option to add Kindle Unlimited if you want even more choices.

Pick up this Kindle deal from Amazon now.
