When you plug a USB drive into your Windows PC, it should automatically appear in File Explorer. If it does not, follow this exact troubleshooting hierarchy to diagnose the issue without risking your data.

Microsoft is making its long-running Sysinternals troubleshooting toolkit more useful outside of Windows, and the latest releases are a good reason to pay attention. After bringing tools like Sysmon, ProcDump, and Process Monitor to Linux, the company is now adding Autoruns to Linux, giving users access to more of the diagnostic tools Windows administrators have relied on for years.

Microsoft Excel isn't just for work. In fact, by leveraging just three single, powerful formulas, I use the popular spreadsheet software at home to track warranties, manage my budget, and ensure I never forget a birthday. Thanks to Excel, I've ditched my chaotic life for one that's highly organized.

I’m not one to enjoy gaming in front of a monitor at my desk, and I don't want to be anchored to my TV or couch either. As a married man and a parent, I prefer a gaming setup that can travel with me to the places and times when gaming is actually an option — so I was excited by the prospect of PC gaming handhelds, back before they shot up in price.

TL;DR: November delivers nine new Pokémon TCG drops, led by the Mega Evolution Delta Reign expansion and multiple 30th Celebration collector sets.

November is shaping up to be massive for Pokémon TCG fans, headlined by the worldwide arrival of the Mega Evolution Delta Reign expansion. The new set brings powerful Mega Evolution Pokémon ex into the mix, with over 35 special illustration Trainer and Pokémon cards for art collectors.

Pokémon is also rolling out a brand-new trio of nostalgic 30th Celebration boxes — including a monster 30-pack Ultra-Premium Collection — plus a tournament-ready Mega Greninja ex battle deck built for jumping straight into competitive play.

From massive booster displays to ready-to-play decks, here is every single set arriving this month.

The Pokémon TCG 30th Celebration Ditto Premium Collection includes a colorful acrylic display stand made specifically to show off cards on a desk or shelf. It fits the exclusive foil Ditto promo card right away, or you can swap in your favorite chase card from your pulls.

Packing eight 30th Celebration booster packs, the Ditto Premium Collection is an easy, budget-friendly way to rip anniversary packs without shelling out for an Ultra-Premium Collection.

The Pokémon TCG 30th Celebration Figure Collection pairs two of Kanto's most iconic legends with detailed, sculpted desk figures that outshine typical cardboard and plastic promos. Paired with a matching foil promo and an oversize showcase card, the set gives Mew and Mewtwo fans a complete display piece right out of the box.

The box also bundles five booster packs of the milestone 30th Celebration expansion. Because anniversary packs are exclusive to collection boxes rather than individual retail blisters, the 30th Celebration Figure Collection serves as an easy, mid-tier entry point for pack-cracking without requiring a full booster bundle or a premium collection budget.

The Pokémon TCG 30th Celebration Ultra-Premium Collection is the centerpiece of the entire anniversary lineup. Available in Day or Night versions starring Pikachu alongside Espeon ex or Umbreon ex, it trades junk filler for high-end gear like a custom playmat, matching deck box, standard sleeves, an acrylic display, and metal dice.

The pack count is the real draw. Stuffed with 29 30th Celebration booster packs plus an exclusive pack with three etched vintage reprints, the 30th Celebration Ultra-Premium Collection offers your best single shot at pulling the anniversary's top chase cards.

It’s an easy grab if you want a casual pack-cracking session or a few quick chances at pulling Mega Rayquaza ex without investing in a full 36-pack booster box.

The Pokémon TCG Mega Greninja ex League Battle Deck is for anyone looking to bypass the grind of deck-building and dive straight into competitive tournament play. Centered around Mega Greninja ex, this 60-card deck delivers an engine optimized for tactical versatility and offensive pressure straight out of the box.

Rather than just serving as a starter deck, it comes fully loaded with tournament-ready accessories — including damage-counter dice, condition markers, a matching deck box, and a play sheet to master its combo lines.

OpenAI has launched GPT-6, a cybersecurity AI model that delivers "major gains" on key cybersecurity benchmarks over its predecessor, GPT-5.6 Cyber.

In an introductory blog post published on Thursday, OpenAI said that GPT-6 Cyber delivers a 51% improvement over GPT-5.6 Cyber on the ExploitGym cybersecurity benchmark.

GPT-6 Cyber is "already helping to secure real-world software, uncovering and validating thousands of exploits in security-critical codebases such as Linux and Firefox," said the post.

The news comes days after it was revealed that OpenAI's upcoming model (now confirmed to be GPT-6 Cyber by OpenAI) had found and patched 948 local privilege-escalation vulnerabilities in Linux. The model was also used to identify 81 previously unknown "high-severity" vulnerabilities in Firefox, "despite extensive prior testing with frontier models."

If this all sounds a little dangerous to be available to just anyone, you're right. This is why access to GPT-6 Cyber is part of Daybreak, OpenAI's cybersecurity program, which is only available to verified individuals and organizations.

In its blog post, however, OpenAI said its goal is to "dramatically" expand Daybreak, and bring "advanced security research to organizations of every size, independent researchers, and open-source maintainers."

SEE ALSO: OpenAI launching election 'war room'

Initially, GPT-6 Cyber is only available to a "select group" of approved Daybreak Red customers (Daybreak access is divided into two tiers: Daybreak Blue is for defensive work, while Daybreak Red is for advanced penetration testing and security research). Access will be progressively expanded to all Daybreak Red customers "soon."

Dropout has built its brand on a string of sensational improvisational television shows, like Game Changer, Dimension 20, and Very Important People. Their latest, MP3, breaks from this formula, as it's the first scripted show the streaming platform has debuted in seven years.

Playing like a parody of MTV's long-canceled Total Request Live, MP3 — short for Music Presentation 3 — offers quirky VJs and three new music videos each episode. Saturday Night Live's Jeremy Culhane plays former boy bander/current MP3 host Dane Cartel, who's joined by newly minted VJs Dr. Muse-Tina (Skye Townsend) and Chia (Aparna Nancherla). And if he's got beef about sharing the spotlight, he'll have to take it up with his director/daddy, Thomas Cartel (Paul F. Tompkins)

As teased in the show's trailer, these music videos feature songs written by MP3 creators Zach Reino and Jess McKenna, and fictional bands like Truth Summons, Boys Who Read, Sheepish, and Every Place I Cry. Each band features familiar faces from Dropout's growing web of comedy stars, like Anna Garcia, Lily Du, Jacob Wysocki, Katie Marovitch, Sam Reich, and more.

This week on Say More, Entertainment Editor Kristy Puchko sat down with Townsend, Nancherla, and Tompkins to learn how MP3 came together, how much improv does come into play, and if there's a chance for more Very Important People crossover. After all, Fanoli got a mention in episode 1, and the trailer teases the return of Princess Emily of Maroon 5? Could Tompkins reprise the role of midnight louse David Hoyle Jr.? The cast considers how!

How to watch: The first episode of MP3 is now streaming on Dropout. New episodes will roll out every two weeks through the season finale on Dec. 2.

It's time to start hatching a plan for Black Friday 2026. Most major retailers treat the entire month like one drawn-out holiday sale, and Best Buy is no exception. The electronics retailer has announced plans to roll out two waves of early Black Friday deals before a 10-day savings extravaganza around Black Friday proper (Nov. 27).

Having covered Black Friday sales for nearly a decade, Mashable's reporters and editors agree that Best Buy is the place to shop if you're looking for Black Friday deals on big-ticket items like large TVs, Windows laptops, gaming consoles, and espresso machines. This year, the pressure is on for it to combat price hikes related to the global memory crisis, which has made many popular tech gifts way more expensive than usual.

Here's everything you need to know about Best Buy's Black Friday sale before you start shopping.

When is Best Buy's Black Friday sale? Credit: Best Buy

Best Buy's Black Friday sale will run from Thursday, Nov. 19 through Saturday, Nov. 28. Paid members of the My Best Buy program (Plus and Total tiers) will earn double points on their purchases from Nov. 19 to Dec. 6, the Sunday after Cyber Monday. Those points are redeemable for reward certificates.

Some of Best Buy's Black Friday deals will be available ahead of time. The retailer is releasing batches of Early Black Friday Deals and Doorbusters on Friday, Nov. 6 and Nov. 13 as a way of "giving shoppers an early jump on some of the season’s best offers," per a Best Buy blog post.

Should you wait until Black Friday to shop Best Buy's deals?

It's smart to shop Best Buy's Black Friday deals as early as possible: According to a company FAQ page, items marked with its "Black Friday Deal" badge are available in limited quantities and do not offer rainchecks. "When they are sold out, they may be sold out through Black Friday," it notes.

We expect high-demand, highly giftable items like Pokémon cards and gaming consoles (especially special-edition variants) to sell out the fastest.

What are Best Buy's Black Friday hours?

Best Buy hasn't announced its store hours for Black Friday 2026 yet, but last year it opened at 6 a.m. local time.

Will Best Buy be open on Thanksgiving?

No, Best Buy stores will be closed on Thanksgiving Day, which falls on Thursday, Nov. 26 this year. This has been its policy since 2020. (Same with Target, Walmart, and other major retailers.)

Is it worth going to Best Buy on Black Friday?

It might be worth trekking to your local Best Buy on Black Friday. According to some fine print on the company's Black Friday landing page, "there are usually a small handful of Black Friday deals that are only available for shoppers in a physical Best Buy store." We don't know exactly what those are yet, but we'll update Mashable readers as soon as we find out.

If you'd rather avoid the stress of navigating crowds and lines, you won't miss out on much by staying home. Most of Best Buy's Black Friday deals will be available on its website, it said.

Does Best Buy price match?

Best Buy normally price-matches competing retailers such as Amazon, Costco, The Home Depot, Target, and Walmart. However, it changes this policy during the holidays. It will not price-match any official Black Friday deals at other retailers, nor any items on sale elsewhere from the Thursday before Thanksgiving through Cyber Monday (whether they're called Black Friday deals or not).

So, if another retailer offers a better Black Friday deal on an item you've already purchased from Best Buy, you'll just have to return it and buy it again.

The only deals Best Buy will price-match on Black Friday are its own. If you buy something there sometime between now and Dec. 31, and it gets cheaper later on in the season, Best Buy will refund the difference. You can request price matches online and in stores.

Some items are excluded from Best Buy's Holiday Price Match Guarantee, including holiday decorations, "activatable" devices purchased under a third-party contract (such as phones), and non-returnable products like trading cards, gift cards, and e-bikes. Items sold by third-party sellers, aka "Marketplace Sellers," are also ineligible for price matches.

What is Best Buy's holiday return policy?

Almost anything you purchase at Best Buy now through Dec. 31 can be returned or exchanged until Jan. 15, 2027. (If you're a My Best Buy Plus or Total member, you've got until Jan. 31, 2027.)

Again, the main exceptions here are holiday decor and activatable devices. They have 14- and 15-day return windows, respectively.

When is Best Buy's Cyber Monday sale?

Best Buy is having a Cyber Sunday and Monday Sale Event on Nov. 29 and 30. It will then offer Cyber Week Deals from Dec. 1 to 6. 

To wrap up the holidays, Best Buy will have a Last-Minute Savings Event from Dec. 18 to 24.

TL;DR: As of Nov. 6, both the 55-inch and 65-inch Roku Pro Series LX OLED TVs are back in stock at Amazon.

In exciting news for those shopping for a new TV this holiday season: Roku's new Pro Series LX OLED TVs are officially back in stock at Amazon after a very popular launch in late October.

Both the 55-inch and 65-inch models are up for grabs right now at the retailer, priced at $1,299.99 and $1,599.99, respectively. If these shiny new OLED displays have caught your attention, now is the time to make a move on them. There's every chance they could sell out again, so you'll want to be quick to click that 'add to cart' button.

There's a lot to love about Roku's latest launch. Its screen is a feast for the eyes, with a 4K OLED display that boosts colors, contrast, and brightness for a richer picture quality. It even has a system called Roku Smart Picture Max, which automatically adjusts your TV settings to fit what you're watching, plus Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos tech to further enhance picture and sound quality. On top of that, the screen features advanced glare reduction to keep reflections and lights at bay while you're using it.

Gamers can also enjoy a 144Hz refresh rate on this TV, which keeps gameplay smooth and responsive while you're immersed in the action. Even its rechargeable Roku Voice Remote Pro comes with helpful features: if you lose it, there's a remote finder button on the side of the TV that can help you track it down, even if it's lodged itself in between the couch cushions.

If you've had your eyes on the 55-inch or 65-inch Roku Pro Series LX OLED TVs, now is the time to grab them while they're still in stock at Amazon.

I've been a GNOME user for more than a decade, and I have a complicated relationship with it. I love its clean interface and workflow, but I wish it did a few things differently. I've tried several other desktop environments over the years, enjoyed some of them, and somehow always found my way back to GNOME. So when KDE celebrated its 30th birthday, I decided to revisit Plasma and see what it offers today.

If you're looking at starting a homelab, then you could be looking at using the free hardware you have in your house, whether that's an old mini PC, old desktop, or old laptop. If you need to rely on these services, that old system might not be the best idea. Old machines are great for tinkering, but they can be a bad foundation for things you need to depend on daily.

I keep running into the same annoying habit when a company announces a new model, calls it open source, and developers cheer. Then someone reads the license and finds a pile of conditions nobody mentioned in the press release that are the opposite of open source. Open source has a pretty clear history, but AI made it really blurry.

TL;DR: The Pokémon TCG 30th Celebration Elite Trainer Box is available for $59.99 at Amazon. That's under TCGplayer's $108.42 market price.

After weeks of building excitement and preorder wars, the Pokémon TCG 30th Celebration Elite Trainer Box is out in the wild. And Amazon has marked the occasion by bringing back its stunning $59.99 deal.

As of Nov. 6, the Pokémon TCG 30th Celebration Elite Trainer Box is on sale for just $59.99 on Amazon. Everything is handled directly by Amazon, but Amazon is still routing orders through its "request invite" system. We can see these are selling fast, so it's clearly a system that's working for many shoppers. Don't be discouraged by the invitation process.

Amazon’s deal is way under TCGplayer’s $108 market price. We rarely see deals this far below market price, so we understand the hype.

The 30th Celebration Elite Trainer Box contains nine 30th Celebration booster packs, an exclusive full-art foil Nidorina promo card, 16 foil Basic Energy cards, 65 custom card sleeves, damage-counter dice, a condition marker, card dividers, a collector’s player guide, and a code card for Pokémon TCG Live.

In the wake of midterm elections that were catastrophic for Republicans, do those on the right agree with Donald Trump refusing to take any of the blame?

Apparently not. In the Daily Show monologue above, host Jordan Klepper plays some clips of key figures appearing to criticise or distance themselves from the president.

"This is your guy. This is your brand. You have a decade of merch and idolatry behind him. You don't want to turn on him just because of one, little generational collapse," Klepper says. "So, time to lock in. Right-wing media, hit that reframe!"

SEE ALSO: Why Jordan Klepper thinks we're living in "dumb McCarthyism"

Cue a clip of pundits like Matt Walsh and Ben Shapiro also criticising Trump, followed by Megyn Kelly saying "eh" after talking about Trump sharing a post to remind America he's still president.

"Eh? Eh?" says Klepper. "Is she sassing the president? You don't sass the president unless you're Benjamin Netanyahu or Vladimir Putin!"

It won't shock you that there's a superabundance of interview podcasts and internet series out there.

But your time is precious, so we've rounded up the best on the internet this week.

Whether you're into deadpan showdowns, niche hot takes, or simply wholesome interviews between creative minds, here's what we reckon is worth your time (and of course, we'd never leave out Mashable's own Say More, what are you, nuts?).

Watching the pair connect while sharing and deconstructing songs from Madonna, Kelela, Groove Armada, The Avalanches, Cornelius, and more is the active listening I crave.

In one of the most moving podcast interviews of the week, Keke Palmer's interview with Lil Jon is worth watching. In the episode, the rapper unpacks grief and faith in relation to his 27-year-old son Nathan's drowning in Feb. 2026, in a conversation that Palmer treats with space and respect.

Comedians Mae Martin, Tig Notaro, and Fortune Feimster welcomed the iconic musician to their podcast studio for a chat about her latest concert residency Butterfly with a Machete, but also got deep about hard-to-access emotions, "wholeness" vs "wellness", and the power of community when it comes to tuning into who you are. Honestly, maybe Morissette could be the fourth Handsome host?

5. Mythical Kitchen: Josh Scherer x Uncle Roger

If there's one thing Uncle Roger can't abide, it's subpar egg fried rice (Jamie Oliver would know). Same goes for the man behind the beloved internet character, creator Nigel Ng, whose own restaurants across Malaysia and London serve it up daily — and yes, Uncle Roger himself has "tested" it.

On Tuesday, Ng joined Mythical Kitchen's Josh Scherer — both as himself and as Uncle Roger in a fitting judge role — to test expensive and cheap versions of fried rice, from Panda Express ("it kind of tastes like the box," Ng says) to the pricey lobster fried rice from Tao (a "rip-off according to Uncle Roger). And there's cooking afoot, as the two put their own spins on the dish — Ng's cookbook is quite literally titled Don't Mess Up Your Rice, so pay attention.*
