November 23, 2025, 1:22 AM EST. Black Friday deals alert: the Google Pixel 9 Pro is $350 off, bringing the price to $649. The Pixel 9 Pro stands out among Android phones for its clean, skin-free Android experience, with no manufacturer overlays or duplicate apps. By contrast, rivals like Samsung add their own browsers, email clients, and calendars, which can feel cluttered. The Pixel's AI features are built into the core experience, without needing third-party sign-ins, and its camera app stays streamlined. Other brands add AI tools such as Gemini Advanced or Circle to Search, but Google keeps things simple. This makes the Pixel feel fast, intuitive, and easy to customize without overwhelming menus. If you want a flagship Android with pure software and long-term updates, the Pixel 9 Pro is a strong Black Friday pick.

November 23, 2025, 1:20 AM EST. Microsoft is expanding the Xbox Full Screen Experience (FSE) beyond its handhelds to laptops, desktops, and tablets. The feature, which adds a console-like UI to your game library, originally launched with the Xbox Ally and is now rolling out via Windows Insider Preview builds on the Dev and Beta channels. To enable it, hover over the Task View icon and choose Xbox full screen experience, open it in Game Bar > Settings, or press Win + F11. Availability is gradual, and you'll need the Xbox app from the Microsoft Store and enrollment in the Xbox Insider Program. As of now, FSE is expanding to all Windows handhelds as part of Microsoft's push to unify the Xbox experience across devices.

November 23, 2025, 1:16 AM EST. Quantum stocks have been hammered during this tech pullback, with speculative names giving back big gains after a blistering rally. While the AI trade has cooled, there may still be entry points for risk-tolerant investors. Nvidia's blowout helped spark the moment, and its NVQLink could offer exposure to quantum gains without the deepest plunge. For pure-play quantum names, D-Wave QBTS could test support around $18-20, but a break below could signal further downside. For those seeking less volatility, IBM offers a more mature path with a clear quantum roadmap and recent launches like Quantum Nighthawk and Quantum Loom, appealing to investors seeking a quantum advantage with steadier exposure. Overall, expect 50%+ drawdowns in this space; size risk accordingly.

November 23, 2025, 1:14 AM EST. Gmail's latest update brings AI-powered tools to the inbox, but users are being warned to opt out of data collection that could train AI models. A viral post on X claimed users are automatically opted in to allow Gmail to access private messages and attachments for training, with a two-step opt-out in Settings. Google has not publicly commented, but reports note that features like Smart Compose, Smart Reply, enhanced search, and stronger spam detection rely on analyzing inbox content and metadata. Users can decline the update, though doing so may reduce functionality. The controversy highlights the ongoing privacy debate as tech firms balance convenience against data usage for AI training.
