Amazon announced its big Black Friday plans earlier this month and according to those details, the retailer’s week-long Black Friday blowout is set to start this coming Friday, November 22nd. That leaves us confused, however, because the sales running today in Amazon’s HoliDeals hub are even better than some of the best Black Friday deals we’ve ever seen. Case in point: Amazon is blowing out renewed MacBook and MacBook Pro laptops today at some of the best prices we’ve found all year. Apple’s 12-inch MacBook starts at just $699.99 while the 13-inch MacBook Pro starts at $799.99 on Monday. These are refurbs and many of them will sell out, so you had definitely better hurry if you want one!

Is live streaming part of your everyday routine? Are you trying to become one of the next big Internet personalities or do you just simply need to produce quality video content for work? Whether you’re in the conference room or the classroom, there are plenty of opportunities for video calls or chats. However, no matter what you need to capture or broadcast video for, there can always be problems when it comes to setting up a live stream. Attempting to handle all of the setup anywhere but a studio can be really difficult. But with the latest breakthrough from j5create, worrying about a live stream will be a thing of the past.

The Live Capture Adapter (JVA02) is exactly what you need for handling video recording and playback, as it is a powerful HDMI capture card. It allows you to capture 60 frames per second of uncompressed 1080p video under USB 3.0, providing you with a remarkably clear picture and video playback. The JVA02 connects easily to the cold shoe adapter of your camera so you can live stream without any visual hiccups. You’ll be recording full HD video and audio, thanks to the USB-C 3.1 connection.

Speaking of HD audio, while you’re consistently broadcasting, you can use three audio mixing modes to produce the sound that you want. There’s a microphone input option that will give your video the levels it needs and you’ll be able to clearly hear exactly what was recorded. There’s also a HDMI mode as well as a Mix mode for professional listening and recording.

This adapter is made out of super lightweight aluminum, so it’s built to last and keeping it in your computer or camera bag is perfectly viable. One of the amazing features of the JVA02 is that it consumes a low amount of power but has Power Delivery 3.0, so you can charge your devices while you’re using it to live stream. It’s also fully compatible with OBS and other third-party software.

Now if you’re wondering how exactly you get it to hook up to your camera, j5create has you covered! With the purchase of this adapter, you’ll receive a USB-C to USB-C cable, a USB-C to USB Type-A cable, a Quick Installation Guide and two screws to attach to the cold shoe adapter. It also comes backed by a two-year limited warranty.

The best way to pick up one of these fantastic adapters is to stop by your local Best Buy between 11/18 and 11/24, as the store is hosting a huge blowout sale for them. So if you want to be on your way to becoming the next YouTube star, think about adding the JVA02 to your recording repertoire. If you’re going to be at CES 2020, visit j5create at LVCC, South Hall 3 Booth 30359 to see more of their latest innovations.

Apple’s iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro, and iPhone 11 Pro Max are impressive smartphones and every indication is that they’re selling quite well after a dicey year for Apple’s iPhone business last year. They’re the most powerful phones on the market right now — especially since iOS 13.3 fixed the RAM management bug that was holding them back — and the Pro models in particular have what is arguably the best smartphone camera system the world has ever seen. That’s right, after falling behind Huawei and Google for several phone generations, Apple’s latest iPhones have reclaimed the camera crown. They capture photos and videos in stunning clarity, and Apple’s new Night mode takes the idea behind Google’s “Night Sight” nighttime photography feature and turbocharges it. They’re incredible flagship phones for sure, but there’s one area where some users think Apple has fallen short in 2019: Design.

Starting with the iPhone 6, Apple shifted to a new design cycle that sees the company update its flagship iPhone design every three years instead of every two. Considering most people these days hold onto their smartphones for three years or even longer, it’s certainly not the end of the world for Apple. Hardcore gadget fans who upgrade to the latest and greatest phone each year are certainly annoyed though, and they’ll finally get the big iPhone design overhaul they’ve been waiting for next year. Unfortunately for Samsung, however, it looks like Apple’s major iPhone 12 redesign is coming in a year when Samsung’s own Galaxy S series is set to be pretty boring.

We found out only a few days ago that Google’s game streaming service will only support 12 games at launch, which isn’t necessarily the great news early buyers expected. However, the first games expansion is already here, as 10 more titles were added to the list of Stadia-ready list of games. That means early Stadia subscribers will have 22 games at their disposal at launch.

One of the main Google Black Friday 2019 deals leaked a few days ago when some people saw ads advertising a $200 price drop for the Pixel 4 and Pixel 4 XL phones. The ad said the prices will be valid through Cyber Monday, matching the newly unveiled Best Buy deal for the handset. In the meantime, Google has made it all official, giving its customers a sneak peek at the upcoming Black Friday sales. The good news is that the Pixel 4 will be $200 cheaper, just as the leaked ad said. And that’s not all, as the Pixel 3a starts at just $299.

Google Maps is already an incredible tool to navigate your surroundings, whether it’s the city you already know or your next vacation destination. But Google is increasingly looking to expand the app’s scope beyond directions and navigations. The latest addition to Maps is such an example, as Google wants to help Maps users make the most of their next travel destination with the help of actual people, Local Guides, whose content will be featured prominently within the app. That sounds like an extra layer of bulky, unwanted content, hitting the app, but tourists might appreciate the feature nonetheless.

Earth has just one Moon, which makes it pretty simple for it to avoid collisions with other large objects since, well, there’s nothing for it to collide with. Other moons don’t have it nearly so good. Neptune, for example, has over a dozen moons, and for all those tiny worlds to coexist, some interesting patterns have emerged.

In a new post, NASA highlights one relationship in particular. the moons Naiad and Thalassa travel in very similar orbital neighborhoods, only separated by some 1,150 miles. That’s a hair’s width in planetary terms, so why don’t the two moons cause problems for one another? The short answer is that they dance.
