It's fair to say that content discovery on Netflix isn't as good as it should be—we've all scrolled the homepage in a desperate hunt for something to watch. That said, you shouldn't overlook Netflix's search tool. It's not flawless, but it's more powerful than you likely realize.

I've always loved taking things apart, ever since I was a kid. One gadget that has always intrigued me more than it probably should is the humble Wi-Fi router. I've heard people say that they're basically tiny computers, with a CPU, RAM, and even flash storage. Eventually, curiosity got the better of me, so I decided to take mine apart and see what was really inside.

Admit it, you laughed at the sock. Well, we certainly did. But Apple seems to be having the last laugh once again.

The iPhone Pocket was one of those Apple gadgets that invites jokes: A sock-like bag for the iPhone with an Issey Miyake brand tag on it, and a hefty price tag. Who's gonna buy this thing?

Apparently, a lot of people. Even though the iPhone Pocket started at $149.95 ($229.95 if you wanted a longer strap), it's currently completely, fully, totally sold out.

It didn't take long for the Pocket to sell out at Apple's online store in the U.S. But as MacRumors noted on Tuesday, the Pocket is now sold out in every country it's been offered in: The United States, France, China, Italy, Japan, Singapore, South Korea, and the United Kingdom. We haven't checked retail stores, though; you might find one there if you look hard enough.

We're not sure if Apple plans to make more of the iPhone Pocket, but it appears that it should. The people, they yearn for the sock.

The best Black Friday Bluetti power station deals at a glance: Best Budget Power Station Deal Bluetti Elite 30 V2 $189 (save $110) Get Deal Best Mid-Range Power Station Deal Bluetti Elite 100 V2 $394.99 (save $404.01) Get Deal Best Premium Power Station Deal Bluetti Elite 200 V2 $699 (save $600) Get Deal

Black Friday isn’t just for luxury goods and entertainment devices. It’s also a chance to stock up on practical items that you might ordinarily put off buying because of the price. Items such as portable power stations, for instance. 

Having a portable power station on standby for emergencies is just common sense. If you’re a camping and outdoors enthusiast, it’s a must-have piece of kit. If you’re not, it’s still good to have one for emergencies and unexpected power outages. The problem is that they can go well into the $1,000s. But not for Black Friday. A number of power stations from leading brand Bluetti are heavily discounted in the Amazon Black Friday sale. 

Bluetti power stations are among the best-reviewed, best-selling models available, so you know you can rely on performance and rest assured that it’s money well spent. Here’s a quick selection of the best Black Friday deals on Bluetti power stations.

BEST-EVER PRICE: Apple AirPods 4 are on sale for $69 in the Amazon Black Friday sale. That's the lowest-ever price for these earbuds, by some margin.

Deals on Apple AirPods have been going extremely hard this Black Friday, but we were still stunned to see the latest price drop on AirPods 4. We were thrilled to see these popular earbuds for $79.99, but that low price has been completely destroyed by Amazon's latest offering. Seriously, what is going on?

Apple AirPods 4 are on sale for $69 in the Amazon Black Friday sale, saving you $60 on list price. That's almost 50% off and the lowest-ever price for these earbuds by a long way. There are so many impressive deals live right now over Black Friday, but this is easily one of the best. It's honestly going to be very hard for Amazon to top this. Have we already peaked?

The only problem we can see with this deal is limited stock. We expect these $69 AirPods to sell very quickly, so if you're planning to pounce on this low price, we recommend acting fast to avoid disappointment. The Apple AirPods with ANC for under $100 deal has already sold out, and we can only see this deal going the same way. Consider yourself warned.

SAVE UP TO $1,899: Until Dec. 3, T-Mobile has dropped an Apple bundle for Black Friday that's offering new and existing customers, including businesses, the chance to get the iPhone 17 Pro, iPad (A16), and Apple Watch SE 3 for free.

It's been an incredibly strong start to Black Friday, and T-Mobile is joining in on the seasonal fun with an excellent bundle offer for customers. As of Nov. 26, T-Mobile has dropped an Apple bundle that offers new and existing customers (including businesses) the opportunity to get the iPhone 17 Pro, iPad (A16), and Apple Watch SE 3 for free.

That's not all, though. T-Mobile is also offering a little treat for new 5G Home Internet customers — one month on them via a one-time bill credit. On top of that, you'll get a $300 virtual prepaid Mastercard when you sign up for the All-In plan. This is quite a lot to take in, but it's worth keeping in mind that for each of the Apple devices listed, there's a few prerequisites that we've broken down below per the press release.

• iPhone 17 Pro: If you're interested in the iPhone 17 Pro, it's on T-Mobile when you trade in an eligible device in any condition and sign up for the Experience Beyond plan, which is $215 per month. Existing customers on Go5G Next can get the new iPhone via 24 monthly bill credits plus tax. Businesses can also get the iPhone 17 Pro on T-Mobile without a trade-in when switching a line to T-Mobile on the SuperMobile plan, or trading in an eligible device and switching a line to the ProMobile or SuperMobile plan, via 24 monthly bill credits plus tax.

• iPad (A16): You can score the iPad on T-Mobile by adding a tablet line on a qualifying plan, via 36 monthly bill credits including tax.

• Apple Watch SE 3: Similar to the iPad, you can score the Apple Watch SE 3 on T-Mobile by adding a watch line to a plan, via 36 monthly bill credits plus tax.

Automakers love to advertise horsepower, but for most drivers, it’s not the number that actually shapes day-to-day ownership. Efficiency has quietly become the real deciding factor, especially as fuel prices fluctuate and hybrid technology becomes more accessible. Whether you’re commuting, road-tripping, or just trying to stretch your budget further, miles per gallon now matters more than raw output.

This really is a low price to pay for such an impressive model. Mashable's robot vacuum expert, Leah Stodart, said the "hinged pad design has been a game changer for me, especially near the kitchen counters."

The price beats what we saw over October Prime Day, so we would be surprised to see any further price drops on this clever device. If you've been scouting for a robot vacuum deal worth your time and cash this Black Friday, this could be it.

Great love can echo across centuries. This seems to be the heart-wrenching truth of Hamnet, the latest film from Academy Award-winning director Chloé Zhao. Adapted from Maggie O'Farrell's novel of the same name, Hamnet unfolds the little known story of William Shakespeare, his wife, and the love that saw them through times of joy and agony. Beyond that, this critically heralded drama — starring Academy Award nominees Paul Mescal and Jessie Buckley — reveals how their story went on to inform one of Shakespeare's most well-known tragedies, Hamlet.

Mashable's UK Editor Shannon Connellan sat down with Hamnet stars Jessie Buckley and Paul Mescal to delve into what it meant to make a movie with such rich history and profound emotion. For starters, she asked Mescal what it was like to tackle the always intimidating "To be or not to be" soliloquy.

Mescal admitted this scene caused him "great anxiety," expanding that "to be Shakespeare but also say Shakespeare and also say that speech, that was always one of the big, more technical challenges." Hamnet gave the acclaimed actor new understanding of Shakespeare's writing. "Whenever I've approached Shakespeare before, it's like this sacred text. And to me, subjectively playing Shakespeare within [Hamnet]," he explained, "Oh no. These are words that have cost parts of his life to write. They're not words on a page. They come from him. So there's a slight freedom in that, where I leant into that so I felt like I could survive the spiders in my mind when I was speaking it all. So I feel very proud of that."

For her part, Buckley plays Agnes true of O'Farrell's novel, a woman who is "too wild for any man." She reveled in the part, telling Mashable, "She's elemental. Every ounce of her is full. And she has such a kind of uncompromising sense of herself and who she is."

But of course, Hamnet is about more than Agnes and Will. Asked about performing with the three children who play the Shakespeare brood, Mescal revealed that he, Jacobi Jupe, Olivia Lynes, and Bodhi Rae Breathnach cleverly conspired to prepare a scene in which their characters surprise Agnes with a bit of Macbeth — specifically, the witches' entrance. "We didn't let Jessie know that we were gonna do that," Mescal said, "So that was an actual surprise. I'd rehearsed the kids...so that shot on Jessie — "

"It was real," Buckley said, picking up the sentence before praising Jupe's terrific performance as a deeply committed witch. The stars treasured their time on the film and playing family. And you see the cinematic magic of this in Hamnet, which is now playing in select theaters. A wide theatrical release will follow on Dec. 12.

A look at the best Black Friday deals on robot vacuums Best budget robot vacuum deal Eufy E20 3-in-1 $297.49 at Amazon (Save $202.50 at Amazon) Get Deal Best mid-range robot vacuum deal Narwal Freo Z10 Ultra $799.99 at Amazon (Save $500 at Amazon) Get Deal Best premium robot vacuum deal Dreame Aqua10 Ultra Roller $999.99 (Save $600 at Dreame) Get Deal

I test robot vacuums for a living and have been keeping tabs on robot vacuum deals trends for over half a decade — and I'd say Black Friday's count of robot vacuums on sale beats spring cleaning sales and even both Prime Days. It makes sense: Many brands release their new vacuums for the year at CES in January (or at least near the CES time frame), so Black Friday is often an eleventh hour push to sell the "old" but still great robot vacuums from the past year.

After a slow start last week, Black Friday robot vacuum deals are out in full force as of Nov. 25. Most deals are even sealed with a "Black Friday deal" tag at their respective retailer, as Black Friday sales at Amazon, Best Buy, Walmart, and Target are all officially underway. You can be confident that those prices won't drop any further if you wait a few days, so why not snag your dream robot vacuum mop combo before the chaotic weekend? Take a day to read up on what to look for in a robot vacuum and assess the features that are non-negotiables in your home, then make your move.

Below, I've pulled the Black Friday deals on robot vacuums that are actually worth your money. (Read up on why to think twice about buying a Roomba this Black Friday). I'll be updating this post with new drops, price updates, or stock changes through Cyber Monday.

$1,599.99 Save $600   Get Deal Why I like it

The Dreame Aqua10 Ultra Roller is the most powerful robot vacuum on the mainstream market, and it's less than $1,000 for the first time ever for Black Friday. Spending that much on a vacuum probably sounds like brain rot to budget shoppers, but think of it this way: The Dreame's 30,000 Pa of suction power is more than 10,000 Pa stronger than the most powerful robot vacuums we saw on sale last Black Friday, and they were still hovering around the $1,000 mark. With the addition of a robust self-rinsing roller mop, this is a real bang for your buck.

I've been testing the Aqua10 Ultra Roller at home for over a month and can personally confirm its efficacy. Its pet hair pickup on rugs has impressed me the most: It has had about a 99 percent pickup rate for large clumps of cat hair that I put in its path and smoosh down into various pile heights. On patterned rugs that camouflage the layer of fur to the naked eye, I've ChomChom-ed the area after the Aqua10 Ultra Roller has done a few passes — and there's barely anything left over to get rolled into the ChomChom compartment. This carpet performance plus a livestream pet camera make the Aqua10 Ultra one of the best vacuums a pet owner could have on hand (robot or not).

If you've been involved with programming communities, you've probably come across many myths that haunt both new and experienced coders. Some are funny, some are intimidating, and some quietly convince people they’re not “cut out” for coding long before they’ve even begun. So let's take a closer look at the myths that refuse to die and why they don't hold up.

Everyone has a retailer they're loyal to, and often it depends on what's closest to home.
