You’re not alone if you’re consistently aghast at the rising cost of streaming services. This year in particular has been bleak, with Disney+ and HBO Max being just a couple of the services that have increased prices as of late. If you’re like any of us at Engadget, you probably subscribe to more than a few of these services, and costs quickly add up even without the period price increases. While you can find the occasional streaming deal throughout the year, Black Friday is the time when they

Earlier this year, I reviewed the Fractal Scape, a wireless gaming headset made for PC (also compatible with Switch 2) that really wowed me.

Fujifilm’s unusual X Half elicited a lot of feelings from photographers when it came out earlier this year — from “That looks like so much fun,” to “Wait, it costs how much?“ Its $849.95 list price felt way too high for what is, by all accounts, a fun, unserious little point-and-shoot.

Last year, I wrote that you do not need a black Apple Watch Ultra 2. It was simply a color refresh, I said. The original Apple Watch Ultra on your wrist was still perfectly fine.

Hello, dear readers. Happy belated Thanksgiving and Black Friday! This year has felt like living inside a permanent DevDay. Every week, some lab drops a new model, a new agent framework, or a new “this changes everything” demo. It’s overwhelming. But it’s also the first year I’ve felt like AI is finally diversifying — not just one or two frontier models in the cloud, but a whole ecosystem: open and closed, giant and tiny, Western and Chinese, cloud and local. So for this Thanksgiving edition,
