Luckily, if you're reading this, you probably know TechRadar is one of the best places online to find a discount, especially considering we have journalists all over the world looking for the best ways to save you money.

ChatGPT shopping research is a new tool that uses AI to take out the work of doing your own deal hunting, and I decided to try it out to see just…...

We haven't tested it yet but on paper at least Walmart stands a chance to compete shoulder to shoulder against bigger storage rivals. I just wished bigger capacities were available What makes the Onn so special is its performance. 2GBps on read and 1.9GBps on write, thanks to the USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 connection that it provides. I applaud Onn's decision to include a useful case and a pair of relatively long (400mm) USB cables. Its design reminds me a lot of the Sandisk Extreme portable SSD especially as it also features a bright orange carabiner hole and a textured chassis surface. Unfortunately, it has a 1-year warranty (its rivals…...

More than 30 add-on streaming services are currently discounted, and one of the best deals I've seen is on my favorite of the bunch: Starz. This week, you can get Starz via Prime Video for 75% off for two months, meaning your monthly total comes from from $10.99 to $2.75. Talk about a bargain! Hurry though, because this deal only lasts until December 1. When it comes to Starz content, you're basically spoilt for choice. We've already had hits like Outlander: Blood of My Blood, Raising Kanan and The Couple Next Door this year, with the highly-anticipated Outlander season 8 on its way early next year. However, the biggest reason you'll want Starz is so you can stream the gore-fest charging onto the service next week. Amazingly, after…...

51+ min ago (284+ words) Like a glimpse of alternate universes Most editors let you brighten, darken, or tweak the temperature. Nano Banana Pro lets you tell the model to pretend the lighting setup was entirely different from the start. Because it rebuilds the scene's illumination rather than simply nudging pixels around, you can turn a flat snapshot into a shot that looks intentionally staged. I then asked Nano Banana Pro to make the lighting a late-afternoon golden hour with warm directional sunlight from the right, but keep facial features unchanged." This instruction doesn't ask the AI to simply paste in new scenery. Instead, it instructs the model to rethink where the ambient light is coming from, how bright it should be, how that should affect the suit fabric, and how shadows should fall. Nano Banana Pro then reconstructs the new environment in perspective, positions…...

VPNs are a great way to boost your privacy and security when browsing the internet " but they shouldn't be your only line of defense. An important step is also breaking free from all data-grabbing applications you may still use.

The good news is that Proton offers the perfect privacy-first alternative to the Gmail suite, and it's now discounted by 50% for Black Friday. After slashing…...

3+ hour, 51+ min ago (211+ words) This massive deal is too good to miss With Black Friday streaming deals coming thick and fast, it's easy to miss some of the best " but this Hulu with Starz deal is the sort of bargain you'll want to snap up before the limited window ends. It's still a deal that's absolutely worth pulling the trigger on though, with not one but two of the best streaming services on offer for less than three bucks a month. Considering Hulu saw a price increase this Fall that set the new base plan at $11.99, and that adding Starz to your package currently costs an additional $10.99, you're looking at phenomenal savings of nearly 90% each month. In terms of movies, Starz is the place to catch up on the Now You See Me franchise before heading to theaters for the third installment, and also…...

There are still record-low prices on Kindles, air fryers and vacuum cleaners, while the best discounts on game consoles disappeared real quickly. " Shop all Amazon Black Friday deals We still haven't even gotten to the official Cyber Weekend sale period though " which is November 28 to December 1. I've covered every single Amazon Black Friday sale in Australia so far and I know there'll be some price drops and some new offers to highlight during that four-day period. However, keep in mind that stocks could be low and there are never any guarantees that the item you've had your eye on will actually see a price drop. And with just six days left for this sale to end, you might as well pick up what you need if the current…...

6+ hour, 9+ min ago (294+ words) An upgraded version of a classic at a lower price is always a good thing The Dyson V8 is definitely long in the tooth now, but every time it's been discounted deeply, it gets sucked up by shoppers (pardon the pun). This popularity led to the British brand releasing a new and upgraded version called the Dyson V8 Cyclone. Not only is it an upgraded version, it doesn't cost more than the older model at full price. At AU$649 without a discount, I think the V8 Cyclone is good value, more so because one of my colleagues has reviewed it and she thinks the small upgrades make it the better machine. Why pay full price, though, when there's a small discount to be had at the official Dyson eBay store? It's only a AU$65 saving but, honestly, if it's bang for buck in…...
