SAVE UP TO $20: As of Nov. 25, Apple AirTags are on sale for Black Friday. Grab a single AirTag for $24.98 (14% off) or a 4 pack of AirTags for $79.98 (19% off).


If you're the type of person who continually misplaces important things, Apple's AirTags were made for you. Whether you toss them in your bag so your purse is never a lost and found casualty, or you attach them to your dog's collar to track Rover down, these trackers can be lifesavers.

Right now, Amazon is offering a single AirTag for just $24.98, 14% off its retail price. You can also opt for the AirTag 4 Pack for $79.98, which is 19% off the regular price. That makes each AirTag about $20 apiece, so if you need to buy multiple for you or your family, that's your best bet right now.

Do they actually work, though? According to Mashable reviewer Brenda Stolyar, the answer is a resounding yes. By leveraging Apple's Find My network, iOS users can track down all manner of missing devices. As Stolyar points out, that means "hundreds of millions of Apple devices" make up this network, which means your chances of finding your lost item are pretty good. With seamless Bluetooth pairing, reliable alerts (complete with sound), and precision finding, the AirTag is a must-have for anyone who routinely misplaces things.

While AirTags do have the capacity for misuse by bad actors, there are privacy features and safety alerts in place meant to help keep you safe, such as Safety Alerts that help inform you of who can see your location and your AirTag. Snag a few today so you can stop stressing over anything that goes missing and start using your iPhone to find it.

The Shortcut AI Excel agent could one-shot spreadsheet jobs. Heres how to try it.

Navigate to Shortcut AI's website , and you'll find a page that looks almost exactly like an empty Microsoft Excel spreadsheet. The main difference is a sidebar chatbot that can be tasked with taking on the tedious legwork of building, say, complex financial models or competitive analyses. Because Shortcut is agentic , meaning it can handle multi-step tasks on the user's behalf, the tool can do more than just generate Excel formulas or analyze spreadsheet data. In a demo on X, Nico Christie, founder and CEO of the Shortcut AI agent, showed how the tool swapped out the data from a Microsoft distributed cash flow analysis (DCF) for Google data by looking up Google's SEC filings and populating the data in the same template. This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed. Shortcut launched on Monday with a rather ominous tagline: "Try...

When the clocks change for Daylight Saving Time, and why we do it at all

The clocks on our smartphones do something bizarre twice a year: One day in the spring, they jump ahead an hour, and our alarms go off an hour sooner. We wake up bleary-eyed and confused until we remember what just happened. Afterward, "Daylight Saving Time" becomes the norm for about eight months (And yes, it's called "Daylight Saving" not "Daylight Savings." I don't make the rules). Then, in the fall, the opposite happens. Our clocks set themselves back an hour, and we wake up refreshed, if a little uneasy.  Mild chaos ensues at both annual clock changes. What feels like an abrupt and drastic lengthening or shortening of the day causes time itself to seem fictional. Babies and dogs demand that their old sleep and feeding habits remain unchanged. And more consequential effects — for better or worse — may be involved as well (more on which in a minute). Changing our clocks is an all-out attack on our perception of time as an immutable law of ...

Mystery Pixel smartphones detailed in code references

The devices also pack 12GB of RAM apiece. Shiba is said to feature a screen with a resolution of 2,268 x 1,080 pixels while Husky could be a bit larger at 2,822 x 1,344 pixels. Given the amount of RAM, however, both would likely qualify as premium devices. from TechSpot https://ift.tt/cefMDJW via
