Ubuntu Server 25.10 Performance On AMD EPYC With "amd64v3" Optimized Packages

Get a Brand New Apple Watch Series 10 with LTE for Less Than a Base Model Series 11

With the recent Apple Watch Series 11 release, it's not surprising that the previous generation Apple Watch Series 10 is seeing its biggest price drop ever ahead of Black Friday. Walmart is currently offering a 42mm Apple Watch Series 10 with LTE cellular connectivity for just $299. Alternatively Amazon has the same watch in the larger 46mm case size for $359 shipped. Both models are considerably less expensive than the base model Apple Watch Series 11.

Apple Watch Series 10 with LTE Starting at $299

If you own an iPhone, the Apple Watch is indisputably the best smartwatch for you. It's stylish, boasts excellent build quality, excels as both a fitness tracker and smartwatch, and seamlessly integrates with your iPhone. The Apple Watch Series 10 is no longer the most current model, but it's still a relevant watch since the Series 11's upgrades are incremental. The Series 11 improvements include a longer battery life, more scratch resistant watch face, 5G support on the cellular models, and that's about it. Performance wise the two watches are pretty much identical. An Apple Watch Series 11 with the same specs currently costs $490-$520. It's for you to decide whether that $160-$190 upcharge is worth it.

Can you use an Apple Watch with Android phones?

Although it's technically possible to use an Apple Watch with an Android phone, we wouldn't recommend it. Apple made it so that a lot of the functionality of the Apple Watch requires a smartphone with an iOS operating system. There are some workarounds to implement some of the features, but for the average person, the hassle isn't worth it. If you're absolutely intent on getting an Apple Watch, then getting an iPhone first would be the best option.

Save $150 Off the Latest Sony WH-1000XM6 Wireless Noise Canceling Headphone Ahead of Black Friday

Sony's newest flagship wireless noise cancelling headphone has dropped in price ahead of Black Friday. Secondipity via eBay (an authorized Sony reseller) is selling a certified refurbished Sony WH-1000XM6 wireless noise canceling headphone in Black, Midnight Blue, or Platinum Silver for just $299.99 with free shipping after a $150 (33%) off instant discount. Better yet, it comes with an extended 2 year AllState warranty plus Secondipity's own 30-day return policy.

Sony WH-1000XM6 Headphones for $299.99

Certified refurbished with 2 year warranty

The Sony WH-1000XM6 headphones is the 2025 successor to the WH-1000XM5 that was released way back in 2022. Both sound quality and noise cancelation have been noticeably improved on the XM6 thanks to a more powerful QN3 audio processor and a total of 12 beam-forming microphones that do a great job of picking up and cancelling out unwanted noise. The XM6 is also more comfortable to wear because of the hinged earcups. The same design also allows the XM6 to be more easily stowed away since the earcups can be folded inwards to fit in a smaller carrying case. It can last up to 30 hours on a single charge, and a quick 3 minute top-up over USB Type-C will give you up to 3 hours of continuous playback. You can save some money by going with an older generation XM5 or even the XM4, but as long as it is within your budget, the XM6's improvements in sound quality, noise cancelation, and ergonomics makes the new model worth it.

This $15 Cordless Tire Inflator and Air Compressor Belongs in Your Car Emergency Kit

Every car absolutely needs a tire inflator as part of an emergency kit to be readily available at any time. If the only reason stopping you is the cost, then this deal should give you no more excuse. Ahead of Black Friday, Amazon is offering Prime members the Aneson cordless tire inflator and air compressor for just $14.99 after you apply $15 off coupon code "QVWFJ6XS" during checkout. Any brand of tire inflator you find on Amazon at around this price point was probably made from the one of few overseas factories. They might not have as many fancy features as other more expensive models, but they get the job done and that's what matters.

Aneson Cordless Tire Inflator and Air Compressor for $15

The Aneson tire inflator and air compressor features an internal lithium-ion battery. Cordless inflators are much more convenient to use because they don't need to be plugged in and can be charged with a standard USB Type-C cable. The compressor is rated for a maximum pressure of 150 PSI and can refill a 195/65 R15 tire from 29 to 36 PSI in about one minute. It also has an essential auto-stop feature to prevent you from dangerously overfilling your tires.

Like most tire inflators, this model can also be used as a cordless compressor to inflate other things as well, like bicycle tires, balls, inflatables, and more. The digital display is easy to read and can switch among four different units of measurements: psi, kpa, bar and kg/cm². It's also equipped with a USB Type-C output so that it can also be used as a power bank to charger your phone or mobile electronics in a pinch.

Most people will get this tire inflator to keep their tires toppoed up, however it will come in handy during the real emergencies when you get a flat. Keep in mind though that If your tire has a puncture, there's no point filling it back up if it's going to leak again. So make sure you also have a tire patch kit on hand.
