Add as a preferred source on Google

Black Friday is less than two days away but that doesn’t mean you have to wait until November 27 for the best Black Friday deals on external hard drives. In fact, let’s take a look at one of the best Amazon Black Friday deals around for an external hard drive: A 2TB Seagate Backup Plus Slim that costs just $53.

If you need spacious amounts of storage and portability at a price that’s easy on your wallet, then look no further than this external hard drive from Seagate. (And if you still want to shop around for other external hard drives, be sure and check out our guide to the best Black Friday external hard drive deals.)

Generally, it can be difficult to find a lightweight external hard drive that also boasts a massive storage capacity. Especially if you need one that’s less than $100. But thanks to Black Friday and Amazon, you really can have it all because the Seagate Backup Plus Slim is only 4.6 ounces and still offers 2TB of storage. And since you’d only be paying $53 for a hard drive that normally sells for nearly twice that at $100, you’d be getting 2TB for a steal!

But there’s more to the Seagate Backup Plus Slim than just its storage capacity. With this deal you would also be getting an external hard drive that is compatible with both MacOS and Windows, has an easy-to-use plug and play connectivity with its support for USB 3.0, and native tools like customizable backups and folder mirroring. If this is your first external drive, this deal from Seagate is a great way to start getting into the habit of backing up your work at a very affordable price.

However, if this external hard drive still doesn’t fit your needs, you may want to take a look at another comparable deal: the 1TB Western Digital Easystore. You’ll get an 1TB of storage space and the same easy-to-use connectivity with USB 3.0. With this deal, you’ll still get quite a bit of storage at an even lower price: just $48.

Moonshot tells Kimi AI to code away, but leave the hacking alone
Moonshot is clipping Kimi AI’s hacking wings before letting it loose
Moonshot AI

Chinese AI startup Moonshot AI is deliberately limiting the hacking capabilities of its latest artificial intelligence model, highlighting a growing dilemma for the industry: how do companies make AI more powerful without making cyberattacks easier to carry out?

The company introduced Kimi K3.1 Pro on October 24, describing it as a highly capable, open-weight model with around 3 trillion parameters. Unlike conventional AI services that operate entirely through a provider's servers, open-weight models allow developers to download the underlying model files, run them on their own systems, and modify how they work.

AI mode in Google Search

There’s no such thing as a free recommendation. Google’s latest policy tweak is a clear reminder. Google has long promised that your Gmail, Drive, and Google Photos content never helps it personalize ads. 

However, since October 16, 2026, its privacy policy adds a catch. The promise lapses if you let other ad-showing Google services use that content. That means using Personal Intelligence, an opt-in tool that lets Google’s AI search read your connected apps, does exactly that (via Google).

Part of me is relieved that an AI lab is hitting the brakes. The other part wishes it hadn’t taken real incidents to get there.

OpenAI said Friday that its most advanced models will now train without live internet access. Instead, they’ll practice on a cached, simulated copy of the web.
