Black Friday doesn't officially start until Nov. 28, but most retailers have been dropping deals throughout the month. Best Buy and Amazon are leading the charge at this early stage, and that includes some of the most popular TVs from the biggest brands.

In particular, some of Samsung's The Frame TVs have dropped to seriously low prices. If you're unfamiliar with these TVs, they double as an art display when you're not watching, so you can throw up some nice artwork or photos to display when the TV isn't being used.

NYT Connections hints today: Clues, answers for November 21, 2025

Mashable - Fri, 11/21/2025 - 12:10

The NYT Connections puzzle today is not too difficult to solve if you're a big eater.

Connections is the one of the most popular New York Times word games that's captured the public's attention. The game is all about finding the "common threads between words." And just like Wordle, Connections resets after midnight and each new set of words gets trickier and trickier—so we've served up some hints and tips to get you over the hurdle.

If you just want to be told today's puzzle, you can jump to the end of this article for today's Connections solution. But if you'd rather solve it yourself, keep reading for some clues, tips, and strategies to assist you.

SEE ALSO: Mahjong, Sudoku, free crossword, and more: Play games on Mashable What is Connections?

The NYT's latest daily word game has become a social media hit. The Times credits associate puzzle editor Wyna Liu with helping to create the new word game and bringing it to the publications' Games section. Connections can be played on both web browsers and mobile devices and require players to group four words that share something in common.

This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.

Each puzzle features 16 words and each grouping of words is split into four categories. These sets could comprise of anything from book titles, software, country names, etc. Even though multiple words will seem like they fit together, there's only one correct answer.

If a player gets all four words in a set correct, those words are removed from the board. Guess wrong and it counts as a mistake—players get up to four mistakes until the game ends.

This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.

Players can also rearrange and shuffle the board to make spotting connections easier. Additionally, each group is color-coded with yellow being the easiest, followed by green, blue, and purple. Like Wordle, you can share the results with your friends on social media.

NYT Strands hints, answers for November 21, 2025

Mashable - Fri, 11/21/2025 - 12:10

Today's NYT Strands hints are easy if you work a 9 to 5.

Strands, the New York Times' elevated word-search game, requires the player to perform a twist on the classic word search. Words can be made from linked letters — up, down, left, right, or diagonal, but words can also change direction, resulting in quirky shapes and patterns. Every single letter in the grid will be part of an answer. There's always a theme linking every solution, along with the "spangram," a special, word or phrase that sums up that day's theme, and spans the entire grid horizontally or vertically.

By providing an opaque hint and not providing the word list, Strands creates a brain-teasing game that takes a little longer to play than its other games, like Wordle and Connections.

If you're feeling stuck or just don't have 10 or more minutes to figure out today's puzzle, we've got all the NYT Strands hints for today's puzzle you need to progress at your preferred pace.

SEE ALSO: Mahjong, Sudoku, free crossword, and more: Play games on Mashable SEE ALSO: NYT Connections hints today: Clues, answers for November 21, 2025 Where did Wordle come from?

Originally created by engineer Josh Wardle as a gift for his partner, Wordle rapidly spread to become an international phenomenon, with thousands of people around the globe playing every day. Alternate Wordle versions created by fans also sprang up, including battle royale Squabble, music identification game Heardle, and variations like Dordle and Quordle that make you guess multiple words at once. 

Wordle eventually became so popular that it was purchased by the New York Times, and TikTok creators even livestream themselves playing.

What's the best Wordle starting word?

The best Wordle starting word is the one that speaks to you. But if you prefer to be strategic in your approach, we have a few ideas to help you pick a word that might help you find the solution faster. One tip is to select a word that includes at least two different vowels, plus some common consonants like S, T, R, or N.

What happened to the Wordle archive?

The entire archive of past Wordle puzzles was originally available for anyone to enjoy whenever they felt like it, but it was later taken down, with the website's creator stating it was done at the request of the New York Times. However, the New York Times then rolled out its own Wordle Archive, available only to NYT Games subscribers.

The 5 best noise-cancelling earbuds include the most comfortable buds weve ever tested

Mashable - Fri, 11/21/2025 - 12:00

Every top brand has its own take on ANC earbuds, each with a unique style and a plethora of features. Since you can't possibly try all the latest earbuds, the Mashable team has taken on the task of reviewing the best ANC earbuds for you.

We've recently updated this guide with our new favorite picks, including the Apple AirPods Pro 3 and second-generation Bose QuietComfort Ultra earbuds. The latter have already gone on sale ahead of Black Friday, but don't worry if the others haven't just yet — our team will be tracking the best headphones and earbuds deals all the way up to and through the shopping holiday.

SEE ALSO: I found 30+ early Black Friday tech deals I'd recommend to friends and family: Save on Apple, Samsung, DJI What are the best noise-cancelling earbuds? Not all earbuds are created equal — some are far more comfortable than others. Credit: Samantha Mangino / Mashable

While there are plenty of audio brands that provide good sound quality and noise cancellation, audio leaders Bose and Sony are in a league of their own. Not only do they offer phenomenal ANC, but they also make music and podcasts sound better. On a good pair of headphones, "Espresso" by Sabrina Carpenter sounds even catchier, somehow.

Earbuds usually aren't as comfortable as over-the-ear headphones. I know this well, as I've found many pairs of earbuds that just plain don't fit in my ear. Others are downright uncomfortable. Once again, Bose offers the most comfortable headphones and earbuds. However, Bose and Sony aren't the only brands out there. That's why we set out to test the best the market offers and see what makes a great pair of wireless earbuds.

How do noise-cancelling earbuds work? Noise-cancelling earbuds are small enough to slip in your pocket. Credit: Samantha Mangino / Mashable

All noise-cancelling headphones, including earbuds, have some passive noise cancellation. While over-the-ear headphones naturally block out noise by wrapping around the ears, earbuds don't block sound as effectively. Instead of covering your ears, wireless earbuds deliver sound directly into the ear canal to drown out other noises. They rely more on active noise cancellation (ANC) to reduce environmental noise.

ANC is an electronic process within the headphones. Internal microphones listen to your surroundings and then invert the sound, effectively canceling it. Sometimes, with noise-cancelling headphones and earbuds, you'll hear a slight buzzing or humming in the background, and that's the ANC at work. The best ANC earbuds shouldn't have this buzzing, however.

20+ early Black Friday gaming laptop deals: Score record lows on Alienware, ASUS, MSI, and more

Mashable - Fri, 11/21/2025 - 11:42
Best early Black Friday gaming laptop deals at a glance: Best Budget Gaming Laptop Deal Acer Nitro V Gaming Laptop $579.99 (save $170) Get Deal Best mid-range gaming laptop deal Acer Nitro V 16S AI Gaming Laptop $1,099.99 (save $200) Get Deal Best high-end gaming laptop deal ASUS ROG Strix G18 $2,109.99 (save $390) Get Deal

There's no better way to celebrate the holidays than getting an awesome Black Friday deal on a gaming laptop and ignoring the entire family. I'm only half joking, but Black Friday really is the best time of year to upgrade your gaming setup. And if you don't fancy having a big gaming PC dominating the corner of your front room, a gaming laptop is a perfect alternative.

Not only is it a space saver, but it can still work alongside gaming monitors, keyboards, mice, and all the other essentials you'll need if you decide you prefer a desktop setup down the line. You can even extend your laptop display for some dual screen action, because two screens is always better than one. How else will you watch YouTube whilst working?

SEE ALSO: The 17 best Advent calendars to buy in November. Take advantage of early Black Friday sales.

I've had both gaming laptops and gaming PC setups, so I know a thing or twelve about a decent setup. Here's my breakdown of the best gaming laptop deals I've found for Black Friday so far:

Best early Black Friday budget gaming laptop deal Opens in a new window Credit: Acer Acer Nitro V Gaming Laptop: Nvidia GeForce RTX 4050, Intel Core i5-13420H, 8GB DDR5 $579.99 at Amazon
$749.99 Save $170   Get Deal Why we like it

So you're not getting a 5000 series RTX card, but DLSS 3 is still brilliant at generating frames, and there's some great workarounds out there to run DLSS 4 on 4000 series GPUs if you surf github. 8GB DDR5 RAM is enough for 1080p gaming and so is the i5 processor. In all honesty, a gaming laptop for $579.99 isn't going to run Cyberpunk 2077 at full settings with ray tracing, but who cares at this price point. It's more than capable and you can simply upgrade the RAM down the line if you fancy.

More budget Black Friday gaming laptop dealsBest early Black Friday mid-range gaming laptop deal Opens in a new window Credit: Acer Acer Nitro V 16S AI Gaming Laptop: Nvidia GeForce RTX 5060, AMD Ryzen 7 260, 32GB DDR5, 1TB SSD $1,099.99 at Amazon
$1,299.99 Save $200   Get Deal Why we like it

It looks like an RTX 5060 is the sweet spot for mid-range gaming laptops, which is absolutley fine. You're always going to get less performance from a gaming laptop GPU compared to it's full-fat desktop alternative, but you have the power of native DLSS 4 to generate those extra frames you're looking for and best-in-class image upscaling. That simply means you can set your games to a lower resolution, then RTX 5060 pumps up the resolution artificially so you're getting more performance. The AI side of this laptop will help with that, too. The Ryzen 7 260 is built to handle the extra load and a massive 32GB DDR5 RAM is overkill. This is a cracking Black Friday deal for a gaming laptop that won't break the bank (much).

More mid-range Black Friday gaming laptop dealsBest early Black Friday high-end gaming laptop deals Opens in a new window Credit: ASUS ASUS ROG Strix G18 (2025): Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070, Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX, 32GB DDR5, 2TB SSD $2,109.99 at Amazon
$2,499.99 Save $390   Get Deal Why we like it

I picked this deal as the extra you'll be paying to get into RTX 5080 territory simply isn't worth it. This is a perfect 1440p gaming machine, which if we're being honest is the sweet spot for PC gaming right now. If you're looking for 4k 60 FPS+ gaming, you're going to save a fortune just buying or building a gaming PC. The 3ms response time and 240Hz refresh rate on this 2.5k screen means you can push well over 200 FPS at 1440p for most games, and RTX 5070 alongside the Ultra 9 275HX processor will get you there. With DLSS 4 tech baked in, there's no reason why you can't play the biggest and best games on max settings at 1440p with this setup, with possible headroom left over for decent ray tracing performance on some titles.

The 8 best budget headphones weve tested under $100

Mashable - Fri, 11/21/2025 - 11:30

If you want to cheat the system a bit and get your hands on incredible, crisp sound from a pair of headphones under $100, we've got you. You no longer need to choose between a cheap pair of headphones and incredible features like active noise cancellation, Hi-Res Audio certification, and multi-device pairing.

SEE ALSO: Mashable will send the best Black Friday deals directly to your phone — how it works

Sure, you might be doing an IRL side eye emoji regarding the class-leading Sony WH-1000xM6 headphones — unveiled at the start of summer — but those things will cost you $450. Don't bother dishing out that much money when you can get headphones for a fraction of the price (with much of the same functionality) or, better yet, noise-cancelling headphones that carry longer battery life and a stronger sonic punch than the AirPods Max. Speaking of which, did you know that users were previously reporting that their Apple headphones suffered "condensation death" after being exposed to moisture buildup? Fortunately, our wireless headphones suggestions are all models you can wear for lengthy stretches — without stressing about their impending expiration date.

What are the best budget headphones?

If you're still an Apple loyalist when it comes to headphones, stick with us for a sec. You'll soon discover that these top picks from popular budget audio brands like 1More, Anker, and JBL are giving the market’s best a run for their money. We even have a bargain entry from Sony that’s well worth a look.

Don't believe it? You'll want to see for yourself by reading our reviews of the best headphones under $100 below — especially as Black Friday approaches, and your odds of scoring an even better deal on our picks go up.

What differentiates budget vs. higher-end headphones?

In case we weren't clear enough before, cheaper does not mean worse by any means (and vice versa) when it comes to headphones. Not always, at least.

Yet, the general trend still stands that the "higher-end" a pair of headphones is, the more likely you are to get better sound quality (aka undistorted bass), more playtime, and state-of-the-art features like adaptive ANC.

Budget headphones are known to leak sound more often than their pricier alternatives, and they'll likely have fewer extras, like spatial audio for immersive 3D sound and TalkThru technology (which amplifies your convo buddy's voice while reducing music volume instantly) featured in some of JBL’s flagship headphones.

Nonetheless, we made it our mission to find headphones — both on-ear and over-ear models — that aren't "higher-end" in price and borrow a lot of standout functionality from their more expensive counterparts.

As we get closer to Black Friday, it’s time to start thinking about all those products you’ve always wanted but never quite had the cash to splurge on. For us, that includes new kitchen essentials such as the air fryer. It’s an increasingly popular (not to mention healthier) way of cooking, but not every kitchen is stocked just yet. It’s one of those countertop appliances that feels like a luxury purchase — but once you’ve got one, you’ll wonder why it took you so long to invest.

SEE ALSO: The 17 best Advent calendars to buy in November. Take advantage of early Black Friday sales.

That’s exactly what Black Friday is all about. And even though there’s still a week to go until the year’s biggest sale event begins for real, there are plenty of early Black Friday deals already live. So, if you are in the market for your first air fryer — or perhaps you need to upgrade from one that’s already served you well — here’s a deliciously priced selection of air fryers for everyone.

When it comes to air fryer technology, there’s one name that cooks the competition — not to mention fries, wings, meat, fish, vegetables, baked treats, and pretty much anything else you can think of. That name, of course, is Ninja. There are several Ninja air fryer models included in the early Black Friday deals, but the Ninja XL is the best all-rounder for most households: A 5.5 quart multifunctional fryer that offers five cooking — Air​ Fry, Air Roast, Bake, Reheat, and Dehydrate. It’s easy to control the settings and temperature, with plenty of room for healthily frying hefty meals.

The Chefman TurboTouch Fry isn’t the only budget air fryer included in the early Black Friday deals — there are even cheaper models available — but this gets our pick for overall brand quality at such a brilliantly low price. It has a 4 quart capacity, which is plenty for regular households, plus a selection of preset cooking modes. It’s already good value at the list price of $99.99, but with a full 50% off ahead of Black Friday, this is a bargain at just $49.99 — perfect if you’re looking to try healthier air frying for the first time.

It’s another brilliant air fryer from the always impressive Ninja, but this one is made for larger households and big hungry families. It costs more than the above Ninja, but it’s packing almost twice the capacity with two cooking baskets and DualZone cooking — which essentially means you can fry up two different foods with different modes and temperatures. It intelligently syncs the cooking so both foods finish cooking at the same time, and each basket is big enough for a whole chicken. This one has six cooking modes, throwing an Air Broiling option into the mix.

Jimmy Kimmel has the perfect response to Trump calling for him to be fired again

Mashable - Fri, 11/21/2025 - 11:23

Trump ranting about Jimmy Kimmel online has become so common that the host barely bats an eyelid.

"I woke up this morning, I'm in bed, my wife comes out of the bathroom. She's got her phone, she goes, 'Um, Trump tweeted you should be fired again.' I was like 'Oh', then I went downstairs and made bagels for the kids," says Jimmy Kimmel in the clip above, referring to a Truth Social post in which the president wrote "Get the bum off the air!!!"

"And he posted this, this is interesting, at 12:49am, 11 minutes after the show ended on the East coast," says Kimmel. "Which is nice, he watches us live. Hi Mr President! How are you? Thanks for watching us on TV instead of on YouTube, we appreciate that, and I'll tell ya, it's viewers like you that keep us on the air, ironically."

I found 5 Dyson Supersonic dupes that are almost as good as the real thing

Mashable - Fri, 11/21/2025 - 11:10

It's a simple truth: Where there’s a Dyson product, there’s a dupe, and that holds especially true for Dyson beauty products. For the past several years, I've been on the hunt for the best Dyson Supersonic dupes.

The brand entered the beauty sphere in 2016 when it released the now-iconic Dyson Supersonic hair dryer, which introduced an innovative design that maximized airflow and minimized hair damage. Nine years later, it remains the most coveted hair dryer on the market, making it clear that Dyson's beauty tech bet was a huge success. While it’s an impressive product, the standard model also retails for $519 (an increase from its previous $429).

The often-imitated hair dryer has a lot of copycats that dupe Dyson's signature look but skimp on quality. A good rule of thumb: Avoid the $40 Amazon knockoffs that copy Dyson's signature fuchsia and nickel design. I promise they won't perform the same, and you'll be lucky if they last six months. However, in recent years, a handful of competitors have released Dyson Supersonic alternatives that truly offer similar results.

$449.99 Save $120   Get Deal SEE ALSO: I tested the best Dyson Airwrap dupes under $300: The Shark FlexStyle is no longer your only option So, what's the best Dyson Supersonic dupe?

To answer that question, I tested a bunch of hair dryers. Some look similar to the Supersonic, and some look nothing like it. I wanted to find the best alternatives to the Dyson Supersonic that replicate the experience: That is to say, they dry your hair in a way that feels quick, easy, and at least a little luxurious.

My top recommendation as of November 2025? The Laifen Swift. Not only does it look like the real thing, but it utilizes ions to minimize damage and has a powerful 110,000 RPM high-speed motor. Plus, it's affordable, which is why it's held the top spot in this guide for nearly a year.

The Laifen Swift, along with many of the other dupes on this guide, often go on sale during Black Friday, allowing you to get even more bang for your buck (especially with the increased prices of the Supersonic line).

What makes the Dyson Supersonic special? 

The Supersonic has stood the test of time because with it, Dyson reimagined the hair dryer. Instead of a bulky, loud dryer, the Supersonic is sleek and compact yet more powerful than other dryers on the market (and a little less loud, too).

Dyson is known for this futuristic aesthetic on its products, but the look of this dryer also has a function. The ring-shaped head ditches the vented and coiled model of the traditional hair dryer and houses the tiny V9 motor in the handle. The combination of the V9 motor and the Air Multiplier technology makes for a dryer that clocks in at only 1.8 pounds yet still delivers a powerful airflow that’s notably quieter than the roar of a traditional dryer. That extra strong airflow also makes this dryer less reliant on heat and keeps hair damage to a minimum.

SEE ALSO: All the best Dyson beauty dupes we've tested

To further mitigate any heat damage, the Supersonic also measures the air temperature up to 20 times per second and uses a built-in ionizer to minimize static and give hair a sleek finish, which brings us to a quick ionizer science lesson.

Ionizers are pretty common in higher-end air dryers. Why? They blow negative ions at wet hair to reduce static electricity by sealing the hair cuticle and taking down the power of that positive ionic charge (aka what's causing that annoying frizz). As negative ions make contact with hair, they're also dispersing the positive ions of water, therefore cutting down on your drying time and reducing damage in the process.

SEE ALSO: All the best skincare tech that we tested and loved, and some that we didn’t

Basically, it's one of the reasons the Dyson Supersonic provides such quick and excellent results and why hair dryers with ionizers cost more money — they do more than simply dry hair.

Magnetic attachments designed to easily snap onto the blow dryer round out the futuristic feel of the Supersonic. Five are included: a styling concentrator, a flyaway attachment, a diffuser, a gentle air attachment, and a wide-tooth comb. It's a nice array of included nozzles, even for high-end dryers, which might typically include three or four attachments at the most.

Why is the Dyson Supersonic so expensive?

At $519, the Supersonic is definitely an investment. However, you're paying for a high-end motor that's built to last, multiple heat settings to protect hair, an innovative design, and of course, the ionic tech. Other dryers from popular hot tool brands like T3, ghd, and Harry Josh boast some similar features and run you anywhere from $150 to $350, but none quite capture the magic of the Supersonic.

SEE ALSO: Honest review of Ruggable: Are the washable rugs worth the price?

When I tested the Supersonic, I found that it had a luxe feel that stands out from other hair dryers. But don't forget: the Dyson Supersonic is now almost 10 years old.

Last year, Dyson released the updated Supersonic Nural (which you can find more info on in the FAQ section of this article), but it's not a drastically different product, with the main upgrade coming in the form of smart features, including improved temperature regulation and attachment detection. I tested it for a few weeks and found the upgrades nice, but by no means game-changing, especially for a $549 hair dryer. I also tested it against other smart hair dryers and found that the T3 Aire IQ offered the best intelligent features for the price point (more on that below, too).

Even with the original Supersonic being an older model, there is something to be said about it standing the test of time, and for providing a luxurious (yet efficient) drying experience, especially for folks with thick hair. On the other hand, Dyson competitors have had plenty of time to develop alternatives, all at a fraction of the price.

Recent testing updates

I'm in the process of testing newer hair dryers from Dreame, including the Dreame Miracle Pro.

The newest addition is the Supersonic Nural dupe, the T3 Aire IQ dryer, which I added in April 2025. Prior to that, I added the Dreame Gleam hair dryer, the Dreame Pocket, and the Shark SpeedStyle Pro Flex in November 2024. In the same month, I removed the Shark HyperAIR from my recommendations as it's largely been phased out from store shelves after Shark discontinued it. If you're still especially keen to get it, a version with just one attachment is available at Walmart.

I also replaced the BaBylissPRO with the Dreame Gleam as the best pick under $100 — though the BaByliss is still a solid hair dryer, it felt more like a standard blow dryer than a Supersonic dupe. Plus, it's less widely available these days.

In February 2025, I tested the L'Oréal Airlight Pro, which at $475 costs even more than the original Supersonic and almost as much as the Supersonic Nural. The Airlight Pro looked and functioned very similar to the Zuvi Halo, which makes sense — the hair dryer was developed in partnership with Zuvi. At the time, I didn't include it as it wasn't that different than the Zuvi Halo, and cost significantly more. However, since then, the Zuvi Halo appears to be discontinued — it's been sold out for months on Zuvi's website after a drastic price hike to $634. I reached out to a representative from Zuvi to confirm the discontinuation, but didn't hear back. As I result, I've decided to remove the Zuvi Halo from our list of recommendations, and am reconsidering the inclusion of the Airlight Pro.

Finally, Dreame recently released the Dreame Pocket Ultra, an upgrade to one of our current recommendations, as well as the Dreame Miracle Pro, another Supersonic dupe contender. I'll be testing both for potential inclusion in this guide.

Train Dreams review: Joel Edgerton brings Denis Johnsons novella to life

Mashable - Fri, 11/21/2025 - 11:00

By no means a fast-paced film but one rich with detail and strong performances, Train Dreams weaves one man's life through a rapidly changing American West in the early 20th century.

Based on Denis Johnson’s 2011 novella of the same name, it's a steady, meditative, and at times devastating journey with many a conversation around the fire. Train Dreams sees Sing Sing collaborators Greg Kwedar and Clint Bentley reunite — this time with Bentley in the director's chair — to explore delicate themes of love and loss amid this fading frontier, sitting on the cusp of industrialisation. It's a slow-going, sombre film at times, an historical essay at others, and it won't be everyone's cup of sarsaparilla.

SEE ALSO: 'Hamnet' review: Paul Mescal and Jessie Buckley burn in William Shakespeare tragedy

However, the true heart of this moving film is a subtle, sensitive performance by Joel Edgerton, one immersed in Bryce Dessner's meticulous score and Adolpho Veloso's lush cinematography, and concluded with the unmistakable spirit of Nick Cave.

Beginning in 1917 and running through to 1968, Train Dreams follows a man's search for meaning as the 20th century arrives. The Wild West days are over. The American frontier is transforming. And Edgerton leads as devoted family man and stoic railroad worker Robert Grainier, who works for the Spokane International Railway in Idaho. He builds transient bonds with his fellow lumberjacks and pines for home. He's also a man riddled by guilt for his complicity watching the racist murder of Chinese immigrant worker Fu Sheng (Alfred Hsing) during a railroad job, perpetually haunted by the memory. Here, the script diverges from the novella: In the latter, Robert physically helps in hauling the worker to a tall bridge, but in the film, Robert simply doesn't intervene.

Despite this shockingly casual event, the film spends most of its time tracing Robert's life. After a brief courtship with his soon-to-be wife Gladys Olding (Felicity Jones), in the small village of Meadow Creek, Robert builds a simple, idyllic home with her among fields of wildflowers and beside a babbling brook. The pair map out their single-room cabin with river boulders and soon welcome the arrival of their daughter Kate. It's an almost overwhelmingly romantic existence, hammered home in near-saccharine montages and Dessner's tender score, and one Robert yearns for when torn away for months on dangerous railroad-building projects. The job's perils are emphasised in both Johnson's novella and Bentley's film, with injury or death from the felling of colossal trees a common workplace risk for 20th-century lumberjacks. Veloso's POV shots of these ancient giants falling prove the point, and several scenes show how risky this business of pillaging the natural landscape was.

At one tragic point, in a devastatingly shot and enacted sequence, Robert's world is upturned forever. He's left desperately searching for meaning in it all, feeling obsolete and expecting "a great revelation to arrive about his life." Edgerton delivers a solemn, raw performance — and with everything that happens, we're not mad that he's surrounded by fluffy stray puppies for a large chunk of the film. Giving Edgerton's character room for deep conversation and reflection, Bentley and Kwedar expand characters from Johnson's book, including Robert's friend Ignatius Jack (a wonderful Nathaniel Arcand), a Kootenai store owner who helps him rebuild, and forest service worker Claire (Kerry Condon), who bonds with Robert down the track.

Train Dreams is a journey of solitude and American history. Joel Edgerton in "Train Dreams." Credit: Courtesy of Netflix

Though it's not necessarily a history lesson, Train Dreams subtly meanders through stories of the American West and where these unsung railroad workers fit within it. Through an omniscient narrator (voiced by Will Patton) and conversations between characters, the script pieces together fragments of the past. As in Johnson's novella, mentions of the American Civil War, American Indian Wars, and World War I arise organically. In particular here, William H. Macy is a highlight as Arn Peeples, a harmonica-playing explosives expert and "gadabout of unknown origin" who befriends Robert. As in the novella, Arn's the character most reflective on American history, lamenting his younger peers' disconnection to it.

Like Arn, Patton's narration lends a certain grandfatherly energy, describing locomotive mechanics, the construction of the Robinson Gorge Bridge, and "the cost of progress" in the same tone as he describes Robert's existential crisis. Nonetheless, it gives the film a steadfast emotional consistency. Additionally, his narration gives the film's present an awareness of the future, as we learn what will become of things.

Train Dreams also takes pains to capture a specific tension between tradition and modernity through the work of production designer Alexandra Schaller. From the handcrafted elements of the Graniers' cabin to the changing technology of the logging sites from rudimentary tools to machinery, Schaller's team craft a detailed picture of life in the American West from early to mid century. But there's one crucial element that pulls all the elements of Train Dreams together.

The simmering engine of Train Dreams is Bryce Dessner's score. Joel Edgerton and Kerry Condon in "Train Dreams." Credit: Courtesy of Netflix

Adding to his lauded catalogue of modern film scores from The Revenant to We Live In Time, The National's Bryce Dessner once again flexes his atmospheric composer skills in Train Dreams. At once a whimsical, romantic ode to potential and a hypnotic, reflective accompaniment to loss, Dessner's score drives the emotional engine of Train Dreams. Edgerton's Robert is characteristically stoic and interior in his emotions, allowing Dessner to draw out the brilliant subtleties of his performance. Meanwhile, it's the perfect partner to Veloso's gorgeous shots of Robert engulfed by the Idaho landscape, immersed in the beauty and history of the American wilderness.

Worth staying through the film's end credits for, Dessner teams up with the ever-iconic Nick Cave (no stranger to a lyrical exploration of love and loss) for the haunting original song "Train Dreams." This brooding ballad essentially encapsulates the film's narrative and emotional tone in a few minutes, marking a sublime conclusion to the film.

Train Dreams takes its time, relishing in conversations about grief, loss, feeling obsolete and overwhelmed by both nature and modernity. This slower pace can feel a little engulfing at times, but Edgerton's performance, Dessner's score, and Veloso's balance of handheld and static photography kept me hitched on the ride.

Train Dreams was reviewed out of BFI London Film Festival. The film will hit select U.S. cinemas on Nov. 7 before streaming on Netflix worldwide on Nov. 21.

The Conjuring: Last Rites review: Can the series deliver one last scare?

Mashable - Fri, 11/21/2025 - 11:00

The Conjuring universe has quite literally administered its Last Rites, the ninth and (apparently) final installment in the religious horror franchise. It's been 12 years since James Wan scared the Valak out of audiences with the first film, when Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga first took on controversial real-life paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren. 

With director Michael Chaves (The Conjuring 3: The Devil Made Me Do It, The Nun II) at the helm, and a storyline based on the alleged demonic haunting of the Smurl family in the late '80s, The Conjuring: Last Rites intentionally plays to every trick in the Conjuring book. Fan service in horror franchises comes with the territory, and Last Rites' cup runneth over with series cameos, familiar production design, and characteristic jump scares aplenty.

SEE ALSO: Fact vs. fiction: 'The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It'

However, it's the film's reverence for the real Ed and Lorraine Warren and the Conjuring universe at large that could be its undoing. With the majority of the film spent delivering referential nods and unbridled adulation for its leading duo, we're left waiting long stretches for what we came for: one hell of a final scare.

What is The Conjuring: Last Rites about? A young Lorraine and Ed Warren (Madison Lawlor and Orion Smith). Credit: Giles Keyte

The Conjuring: Last Rites plunges us back into familiar territory. Like The Conjuring 2, there are parallel hauntings afoot: the alleged demonic disturbance of the Smurl family in West Pittston, Pennsylvania in the late '80s, and chilling visions experienced by the clairvoyant Lorraine Warren (Farmiga) and her now-grown daughter Judy (Mia Tomlinson), who is attempting to silence her burgeoning psychic powers.

To open the film, we're sent back to 1964, where a young Lorraine and Ed (Madison Lawlor and Orion Smith) investigate a spooky storeroom full of clocks (sure!), where a creepy mirror adorned with wooden angels screams "do not touch." Disregarding this of course, Lorraine's contact with said mirror propels one of the film's most disturbing sequences, in which our paranormal communicator is sent into early labour in the company of a demonic presence. As if giving birth wasn't intense enough, Last Rites plunges Lorraine into an experience of terrifying vulnerability. From here, however, Last Rites spends an outlandish amount of time on the Warrens' family life, in a saccharine montage of Judy's childhood, carousels, and running through flower fields, all the way up to their demon-shunning retirement in Connecticut.

Featured Video For You Weapons, and the comedian turned horror director

It's this overt admiration for the Warrens that feels extremely stretched out in Last Rites, despite the couple's real-life controversies. From the film's beginning to end, Wilson and Farmiga's Ed and Lorraine are portrayed as reluctant heroes of paranormal valiance and fiercely pious and devoted family members. The film spends almost half its run time following the Warrens in their barbecue-throwing, post-investigation era bliss and through a particularly tedious meet-the-parents sequence with Judy's boyfriend, Tony (Ben Hardy). Whatever you think of the real Warrens, Wilson and Farmiga have long imbued the screen Warrens with overwhelming credibility; Farmiga has always channelled Lorraine with understated believability, and Wilson's commitment to Ed's character is the only thing that makes a scene where characters need to move a mirror genuinely compelling.

For those tapping their watch for the Warrens to get back to investigating, there's the other storyline, described by the series' signature bright yellow Courier New font declaring the subsequent events as "based on a true story" and loosely adapted from the Warrens' reported haunting cases — following the Perron family of Rhode Island in 1971 (The Conjuring), the Amityville murders and the "Enfield Poltergeist" case in the late '70s (The Conjuring 2), the murder trial of Arne Cheyenne Johnson (The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It).  This time, it's a notorious case from 1986 in Pennsylvania, where we're introduced to characters based on the real Janet and Jack Smurl (played by Rebecca Calder and Elliot Cowan), who claimed that their family was plagued by a demonic presence.

And it's this storyline that sees the film slotting into classic Conjuring style.

Director Michael Chaves is well-versed in the Conjuring universe, having directed the third Conjuring film as well as the sequel to The Nun and the thinly connected The Curse of La Llorona. However, despite its solid scares, the film feels somewhat trapped in fan service, ticking off signature Conjuring boxes and delivering two passable but undeniably well-soundtracked (hell yes, The Cult) storylines at once.

Everything you'd expect from a Conjuring film is here. Real footage of the Warrens spliced with that of Wilson and Farmiga. Eerie music boxes and cursed dolls from yesteryear. A happy family being terrorised in the night, often by way of their favourite games or in a creepy-ass basement. A family dog who makes the audience nervous for its safety. Menacing notes scrawled with the words "Miss me?"

There's a copious amount of references to previous Conjuring films in Last Rites, including The Nun and Annabelle movies. Fans might delight in hearing Ed warn his guests yet again not to touch anything in the basement of the Warrens' Connecticut home where cursed objects like the Annabelle doll dwell — the film even has Wilson repeat his lines from the first Conjuring movie: "Nothing's a toy, not even the toys." And as for the cameos? Just wait to see for yourself (though seeing Officer Brad Hamilton rocking his bite mark from The Conjuring in a barbecue scene is a frankly hilarious heads-up).

But the real Conjuring style comes out in the scares — of which there are many.

Never fear, Conjuring-style scares are present in both storylines, with the Smurls beset by more than bumps in the night in Pennsylvania, and poor Lorraine unable to order linguini or do the dishes in Connecticut without being interrupted by a malicious presence. Last Rites' parallel narratives follow the Warrens' constantly cited "three stages of demonic activity" to the letter: "infestation, oppression, and possession," from those early ghostly whisperings to the dreaded takeover, with ample scares along the way.

The Conjuring universe, established by Wan's brilliant 2013 original, has become synonymous with that classic horror weapon of the misdirected jump scare. Cameras pan back and forth building up dread with fake-outs. Characters are consistently forced to use torches with limited lighting. Audiences frantically search for faces in dark corners, plunge their fingers into their ears, and wait for the drop. Though without as much unexpected innovation as the original (but with Wan in a producing role), Last Rites is brimming with these jump scares, with Eli Born's audacious cinematography, nail-biting sound design by Harry Cohen, a particularly effective scene involving a phone cord disappearing into a pantry, and savvy use of VHS footage for solid creeps.

Last Rites feels like a Conjuring film in every sense of the franchise, but it's slightly disappointing the film doesn't pull out all the stops to bid adieu to Wilson and Farmiga's now iconic characters. Fan service, it has in spades. But truly memorable scares and compelling storylines that push the Conjuring series as far as it could go? Less so. However, if you want to take one more trip into the Warrens' basement of cursed curiosities, it's worth a watch, for old terrifying time's sake.

The Conjuring: Last Rites is streaming on HBO Max.

Black Friday vs. Cyber Monday: Which day is better for shopping?

Mashable - Fri, 11/21/2025 - 10:50

Once two distinct deal shopping days, Black Friday and Cyber Monday, have basically merged into one massive shopping extravaganza. The lines really began to blur when the world shut down in 2020 and brick-and-mortar stores hosted online sales in lieu of in-person Black Friday events. In 2025, those lines are practically nonexistent. We certainly can't see them.

While major retailers have been running holiday sales throughout all of November, savvy shoppers know that Black Friday, Cyber Monday, (and the few days surrounding them) still remain two of the absolute biggest shopping days of the year for their ability to reliably trigger record-low prices on big-ticket items (like TVs, Apple devices, smartwatches, gaming consoles, and of course, Amazon's own devices). That includes discounts that beat Amazon's massively-hyped October Prime Day deals.

Way back in the age of MySpace and AIM — aka 2005 — the National Retail Federation debuted the term "Cyber Monday" after realizing that the Monday after Thanksgiving saw a flood of online sales. This was likely due to shoppers using their faster internet connections at work on Monday morning to snag deals, or at least that's what they credited it to. That, of course, and the fact that online retailers wanted some of that holiday shopping bread, too. Thus, two distinct deal shopping days were born: Black Friday, for those who wanted to shop in stores the day after Thanksgiving, and Cyber Monday, for those who liked shopping from the comfort of their homes.

These days, there's little — if any — real difference between the two due to the alleged "death of retail." Everyone and everything is online, so why wouldn't Black Friday be? Based on our years of experience covering both, we can truly say neither is a "better" day to shop. It really comes down to what you're looking for and how much demand there is for it.

Are there better deals on Black Friday or Cyber Monday?

If you see a solid deal, grab it, no matter which sale title it falls under. There's not a tremendous amount of distinction anymore in terms of discounts on particular products as there has been in previous years. However, there are still rules to follow in some product categories: TV deals tend to be more dramatic and widespread for Black Friday with a higher likelihood of selling out before the clock even turns to Cyber Monday, while waiting for Cyber Monday to double-check that there's not a new, better laptop deal is often wise.

But with the blurred lines of Cyber Week, many of these deals will cross over. As noted at BlackFriday.com, "Some TV deals will feature flashy discounts during Black Friday and Cyber Monday, but they might not have the specs you're after." TL;DR: The deals will be great for both shopping days, but it all depends on what you're looking for. If you see the specs you like listed under a product sitting at a price that you like, grab it to be safe. Also, as a best practice, check camelcamelcamel.com for price history details from Amazon.

How long is Black Friday?

It's honestly silly at this point to even call it Black Friday. It's no longer just on Friday — it's a month-long affair. In 2025, Best Buy kicked off the holiday shopping season on Halloween (scary, I know). Walmart and Target followed close behind, with their first Black Friday sales events kicking off in early November. Amazon and Best Buy's official Black Friday sales will run from Nov. 20 through Black Friday proper, which falls on Nov. 28 this year.

Once the clock strikes midnight at the close of Friday, it's officially Cyber Monday (yes, even though it's actually Saturday). We don't make the rules. The deals won't change too much, but the search terms and official site banners will.

When do Cyber Monday deals start?

Officially, Cyber Monday starts on Monday, Dec. 1 in 2025. Unofficially, it basically starts the second Black Friday ends, with retailers coining sales as "Cyber Monday" deals as early as Saturday, Nov. 29. So basically, semantics — and it's easier to just think of the Cyber Week language as interchangeable.

I compared the Bose QC Ultra Earbuds (Gen 2) to my AirPods Pro 3 and Sony WF-1000xM5 earbuds

Mashable - Fri, 11/21/2025 - 10:45

Rather than launch a completely new model of earbuds, Bose decided to re-release its flagship buds with smarter algorithms and stronger specs. The result is the QC Ultra Earbuds (Gen 2).

This update sees improvements in active noise cancellation, connectivity, and voice calling. Whether that’s enough to compete with the market’s two most popular entries — the AirPods Pro 3 and Sony WF-1000xM5 — is up for debate.

I’ve spent the past three weeks testing the second-gen QC Ultra Earbuds and have some thoughts. Do they rank higher or lower than Apple and Sony’s true wireless gems? Read our in-depth comparison to find out.

Apple surprised everyone when it debuted the AirPods Pro 3, which carry a $249 MSRP and welcome various enhancements. The $299 QC Ultra Earbuds have their work cut out for them.

Battery life: A full charge nets the QC Ultra Earbuds a max of 6 hours. That drops to four hours when using spatial audio. The wireless charging case is capped at 24 hours. A 20-minute quick charge gets you two hours of listening time.

Apple increased the AirPods Pro 3’s battery life to 10 hours (eight hours with ANC on). Quick charging was left untouched: a five-minute charge equals one hour of use. The MagSafe charging case sees a six-hour decrease from the previous version. Essentially, you’re left with the same number of charges as the Bose case.

Noise cancellation: Bose updated its AI-driven algorithms for stronger noise neutralization. High-frequency sounds were less distracting this time around; emergency vehicle sirens and my loud toddler never broke my concentration. Daily disruptors like chatty pedestrians, household appliances, and thunder (how I loathe hurricane season in Florida) were muted. Aware mode was also exceptional, thanks to an eight-mic array that made ambient noise and vocals sound more natural.

Apple isn’t beating Bose on the noise-canceling front. However, its new ANC technology is incredibly effective at minimizing unwanted noises. Low- and mid-frequency sounds go unnoticed, and very few high-frequency sounds enter the soundscape. Transparency mode is top-notch for increasing ambient awareness. Other real-time listening modes (e.g., Conversation Mode, Live Translation) come in handy for certain situations.

Sound performance: Audio is equally great. The AirPods Pro 3 have a dynamic soundstage with deep bass response. You can only adjust their frequency range when using Apple Music. Personalized Spatial Audio makes Dolby Atmos content immersive. Apple’s headtracking technology places effects and vocals accurately on the soundscape, creating a sense of realism that no other spatial-audio-enabled buds can duplicate…except the QC Ultra Earbuds.

Bose’s wide soundstage lets you hear more detail on music tracks. CustomTune technology is employed to auto-adjust sound on the go, and it works better than the AirPods Pro 3’s adaptive EQ. In the companion app is a three-band EQ with presets to tweak frequencies. Immersive Audio is the best spatial audio format for wireless earbuds and headphones, and delivers convincing 3D sound on all stereo content. You can listen to anything from Limewire-ripped MP3s to Netflix movies and enjoy high-quality surround sound. The feature isn’t tied to just one audio technology (cough Dolby Atmos cough).

Usability: Apple’s buds seamlessly connect to all brand devices and will be updated frequently with new features via iOS updates. The stem inputs produce solid tactility when pressed. Touch controls operate smoothly for easy volume adjustment. Voice activation works flawlessly (“Hey Siri” is always on point). Heart rate monitoring and IP57 dust/water resistance make the buds a better fitness companion than the IPX4 sweat-resistant QC Ultra Earbuds. Just know that most of the AirPods Pro 3’s features are exclusive to iOS.

Expect a better multiplatform experience from the QC Ultra Earbuds. Bose makes it simple to pair these buds with iOS/macOS and Android devices. The latter offers Google Fast Pair for one-tap pairing. Bluetooth multipoint can pair the buds to two devices simultaneously, no matter the platforms. There are multiple listening profiles that optimize ANC performance based on different environments or scenarios. The Bose app also lets you personalize the buds in various ways. Responsive touch controls and voice commands round things out.

Should you buy the Bose QC Ultra Earbuds (Gen 2) or AirPods Pro 3?

I can’t recommend the QC Ultra Earbuds over the AirPods Pro 3 for one reason: price. The amount of functionality Apple gives you for $50 less is too good to pass up, though this applies mainly to iPhone owners (read my AirPods Pro 3 review as an Android user). Those who own a Google-operated machine will benefit from the QC Ultra Earbuds’ tenacious noise cancellation and versatile connectivity. It’s just going to cost more.

The WF-1000xM5 have held the title of best overall wireless earbuds for two years straight, while the latest QC Ultra Earbuds take the best noise-canceling earbuds crown from their predecessor. One would think that Bose’s hardware and software advancements seal the deal.

Battery life: A single charge gives the WF-1000xM5 up to 12 hours of listening time (eight hours with ANC on). The QC Ultra Earbuds max out at six hours. Both wireless charging cases hold up to 24 hours. Sony’s buds can generate 1 hour of listening time on a 3-minute charge, whereas Bose’s buds require 20 minutes for two hours.

Noise cancellation: The QC Ultra Earbuds are better at handling high-frequency sounds. It is relieving to walk outside and not be bothered by bird chirping or emergency vehicle sirens. The same goes for talkative shoppers at the grocery store. Background interference is minimized during phone calls. Ambient noises and vocals sound clear in Aware mode.

The WF-1000xM5 aren’t far behind. They eliminate close to 85% of noise, which is about 5% less than the QC Ultra Earbuds. High-frequency sounds are more noticeable, especially on calls. Sony’s 20-level transparency mode is fantastic for eavesdropping on conversations and keeping tabs on surroundings.

Sound performance: The QC Ultra Earbuds’ soundstage delivers rich bass and midrange. Qualcomm’s aptX Adaptive codec creates faster bitrate transmission to balance audio quality and lower latency when streaming music on an Android device. Immersive Audio steals the show by creating a 3D listening environment with realistic sound that complements all media formats. The technology works with all content, in both wired and wireless mode.

Trademark sound technologies push the WF-1000xM5 to another sonic level. The fine-tuned 8.5mm drivers dish out punchy bass, striking mids, and transparent highs, culminating in vibrant mixes. My favorite feature for optimizing sound on Sony headphones, DSEE, upscales fidelity on compressed low-quality audio files. LDAC grants higher resolution over Bluetooth than aptX Adaptive. Sony’s 360 Reality Audio format is fine for 3D audio, but it only works with select DSPs (Amazon Music Unlimited, Deezer). Lastly, there’s the 10-band EQ to create your own sound profile.

Usability: Both are terrific multiplatform buds that come with dual-device and Fast Pair integration. Their companion apps (iOS/Android) extend functionality in various areas. This includes control customization, listening mode activation, and sound personalization. The WF-1000xM5 has a wider selection of perks. Touch and volume controls go to the QC Ultra Earbuds.

Should you buy the Bose QC Ultra Earbuds (Gen 2) or Sony WF-1000xM5 earbuds?

The WF-1000xM5 get you more bang for your buck. We’re talking robust noise cancellation and signature audio powered by Sony’s proprietary sound technologies. Not to mention a broader feature set and higher playtimes. Yes, these buds are more expensive at $329, but they are frequently on sale (I’ve seen them for as low as $180).

So, should you buy the Bose QC Ultra Earbuds (Gen 2)? Credit: Alex Bracetti / Mashable

Yes… if you can wait for a price drop.

At $299, the newest QC Ultra Earbuds don’t come cheap. Boosts in call quality and noise cancellation are greatly appreciated. At the same time, they seem incremental compared to the previous model, which were previously on sale for $219. That’s certainly the better value.

It all comes down to preference and priority. There’s no denying that the QC Ultra Earbuds are an excellent option and a worthy pickup for anyone seeking unbeatable ANC. All other hallmarks are either equal or superior on the AirPods Pro 3 and Sony WF-1000xM5.

The best Black Friday Kindle deals are finally here: Record-low prices on almost everything

Mashable - Fri, 11/21/2025 - 10:44

When the big shopping events like Prime Day and Black Friday come around, our sights are set on our favorite tech. It's often the only time when they're guaranteed to get a discount. My favorite gadgets? Kindles. It's part of my job to test e-readers, but outside of work hours, you'll still find me and my Kindle attached at the hip.

But the thing with Kindles is that they rarely go on sale. Sure, there's the occasional random discount throughout the year, but the best guaranteed price is almost always going to be during Prime Day or Black Friday. So as we look forward to Black Friday, which falls on Friday, Nov. 28, we're already hunting down the best Kindle deals.

As of Nov. 20, Amazon has officially kicked off its Black Friday sales, and the deals rock. All Kindle models are now on sale and down to their lowest prices ever. The Kindle Colorsoft is now down to $169.99, while the basic Kindle reached a new low of $79.99. So if you've been waiting to buy a Kindle, now's the time. Here are the best Kindle deals — on devices and accessories — to shop during Amazon's Black Friday sale.

I didn't know what to expect from Amazon's Black Friday Kindle Deals, but I'm blown away. Every device has dropped to its lowest price ever, and there are some major standouts. The Kindle e-reader with the best discount is the Kindle Colorsoft. It's down to $169.99, saving an astounding $80 off its $249.99 price tag. While I wouldn't recommend buying the device at full price, I think it's an exceptional deal ahead of Black Friday.

The Colorsoft has all the perks of a Paperwhite; it's waterproof, has adjustable warmth and brightness, and has an extremely long battery life of eight weeks. But the bonus? It has full color displays so you can enjoy graphic novels and book covers in full detail.

However, if you're not into the Colorsoft, there are plenty of other stellar deals to shop, including the basic Kindle down to its lowest price ever.

I let the TikTok girlies convince me that I needed a remote control page turner and... they were right. This page turner works by gently tapping the screen of your Kindle when you click on the remote. Paired with a gooseneck stand, it's created the coziest possible setup so I can keep my hands warm under the blankets but still get to the next page in my book. I don't usually like recommending products from random Amazon brands, but the Datafy remote control page turner has worked great for me over the past few months. Ahead of Black Friday, it's just $15.99 — that's $4 off its $19.99 price tag.

If you want to use your remote control page turner, then you'll need a way to prop up your Kindle. I use this gooseneck stand by Magipea. It's super easy to use, able to clamp onto tables of any thickness. It holds Kindles securely, too, no budging if you move or bump into it. It's down to $16.12 ahead of Black Friday, saving you 46% off and $13.87.

I found plenty more Kindle stands on sale, including one that doubles as a snack tray.

My favorite Kindle case is one paired with a PopSockets phone grip. If you're using a grip on your phone, you should definitely be using one on your e-reader. A clear case is suitable for both the minimalists or the creatives who want to customize it themselves. Right now, you can grab each on sale, and while I had to hunt to find these savings, as we get closer to Black Friday, I expect savings on Kindle cases to explode.

Most of the time, I prefer not to buy books for my Kindle and instead borrow books through Libby. But if I do buy a Kindle book, it's usually because it's under $2. Amazon is always dropping prices on books, and you can often find prize-winning and bestselling titles for $2 or less. Last week, the book deals were a little better, but there are still some hidden gems like Writers & Lovers by Lily King for just $1.99.
