Black Friday is generally a great time of the year to score discounted video game consoles, but 2020 could still turn out to be an exception. This year, stores have had trouble keeping consoles like the PlayStation 4 and the PlayStation 4 Pro in stock at their regular prices.

Banning Huawei from being used at carriers globally was the only way to stop them.You've read a million different articles about how the ban on Huawei has more to do with the company's 5G network equipment than it does with 5G phones. The U.S. — and by its reckoning, the rest of the "free" world — just can't have Huawei controlling the flow of information across the planet in the near future because it wants to control the flow of information. Really, it's that simple. Much has been said about the U.S.-led ban on Huawei, but it all comes down to 5G equipment.While this makes some of us rise up and salute a flag and makes others completely frustrated that phones got caught up in some 5G infrastructure fight, it does make perfect sense. No country wants to get left out when it comes to the trillions of dollars of revenue 5G networks are going to create, never mind the idea that communist China would have too much control over information networks. If you've been paying att...

Firstly, I wish it had a wide-angle camera, and second, I wish it wasn't boring Just Black.

One such NPC is Yuria the Witch, who can take the souls of powerful bosses you've beaten and turn them into strong magic spells for you to use.

The Patriots in 2020 are not the Patriots of years past, for a lot of reasons. But, as everyone learned from week nine, the teams should never be counted out. So as they gear up to take on Baltimore on Sunday Night Football it's safe to say anything can happen.The Ravens are by far the favorites in this matchup. Even New England coach Bill Belichick has recently praised the Baltimore team saying, "they're good at everything." While the Raven's offensive production has seen a drop compared to last season, it still remains eighth overall this year.Lamar Jackson is having a year and remains part of the Raven's winning formula. He has helped the team achieve 30+ consecutive games scoring at least 20 or more points. Does New England have a prayer or is Belichick offering up flattering words in some kind of sneaky strategy?Baltimore Ravens vs. New England Patriots: Where and when?Sunday Night Football between the Baltimore Ravens and New England Patriots takes place at the normal t...

Grief is a snake. It slithers up and down your body, first winding itself around your heart before briefly relenting and moving to your head, where it shakes loose memories at random intervals. It meanders down to your feet, wrapping its body around your legs so tightly it makes walking difficult. It snakes its way to your stomach, releasing battery acid that kills appetite. It moves to your eyes and shuts them, infecting you with fatigue. It manipulates your tear ducts, so you find yourself crying without warning.After some time, the snake starts to feel familiar enough that you don't fight it the next time you feel your heart beating fast, your stomach tightening, your legs dragging, your eyes closing. There's a comfort to its abuse; facing the silence of absence is too difficult. And so it goes, until one day you realize you don't need to hold onto railings, or bring tissues with you; you can eat a full meal again. The snake is still there, but its attention is elsewhere, as is ...

If you like Verizon's service but hate the contract, there are some great MVNOs that use Verizon's network. The three big wireless service providers in the U.S. are AT&T, T-Mobile, and Verizon. Each one has its own unique set of deals and features, but these aren't the only options you have to choose from. Mobile Virtual Network Operators (or MVNOs for short) are other carriers that harness the network of the Big Three carriers, so you can still choose the one that has the best coverage in your area while having more flexibility over what you spend. When it comes to carriers powered by Verizon's network, Visible stands out as the best overall choice. However, it's far from the only one out there.Best Overall: VisibleVisible is the first and one of the most unique prepaid carriers on this list. Rather than going into a store to get started with your new phone service, everything with Visible is handled through its mobile app. This includes creating an account and paying your...

The second half of the season starts now and it's a chance for teams to improve where they fell short the first time around. For the Cincinnati Bengals, a few pieces will need to lock into place, but it can happen. Joe Burrow is looking decent at QB and he's even on track to break some rookie records if he can keep up his touchdown passes. Speaking of records, Tyler Boyd could break a Bengals record for most receptions. Burrow's and Boyd's remainder of the season will likely go hand-in-hand, but considering they have been geling with each week, there's a good chance they both happen.In terms of what to expect from the Bengals and Steelers meeting, it's hard to see anything but a Steelers win in week 10. The Bengals have not had good luck against rivals in the AFC North and the Steelers are on a roll with an 8-0 record.The Bengals don't have a run game and can't stop the run game. Their overall defense isn't great, but in the last meeting the Steelers ran all over them.Cincinnat...

Many thermostats require a C wire ("common" wire) to power it due to their LED displays and Wi-Fi-powered advanced functions, leading homeowners with older heating systems to look for smart thermostats without a C wire requirement.

What was initially conceived of as a TV series by Academy Award, Bafta and Golden Globe-winning filmmaker Steve McQueen has turned into a five-part anthology film series called Small Axe and we have all the details on how you can watch it online or on TV.Set from the late 1960s to the mid-1980s, McQueen's Small Axe films each tell a story involving London's West Indian community which faced rampant racism and discrimination. While the stories depicted in the films are set decades ago, each one remains as timely today as they were for the West Indian community living in London at the time.The first film titled "Mangrove" tells the story of Frank Chriclow, played by Shaun Parkes, who owned a Carribean restaurant in Notting Hill that served as a community base for locals, intellectuals and activists. However, when the police raided the Mangrove restaurant, Chriclow and the local community took to the streets in a peaceful protest in 1970. Nine men and women who participated includin...

If the Chargers didn't find new and unique ways to lose each week, the Broncos would be sitting in last place in the AFC West. The last Chargers loss was thanks to the Raiders, though it wasn't because the Raiders had them beat from the start.The Broncos are 3-5 with the Raiders sitting opposite at 5-3. At this point in the season second place is still up for grabs. The Kansas City Chiefs are pulling away with a record of 8-1, and deservedly so. The Raiders have a lot of promise and are playing decent, but they will still need to work for a playoff spot.Most analysts peg the Raiders as the favorites to win, but most also wouldn't be surprised if the Broncos pulled off a win. The Raiders will need Derek Carr to show up and throw for more than his averaged 160 yards and remain consistent with not giving up many interceptions.Denver Broncos vs. Las Vegas Raiders: Where and when?Division rivals the Raiders and Broncos meet at Allegiant Stadium on November 15, at 4:05 PM ET.
