Amazon's super cheap refurbished gadgets get a further 20% discount this Black Friday

Image
Buying refurbished tech is a way to get the best tech for less all year round - but Amazon has made select items even cheaper thanks to its Black Friday deals . Right now you can get an additional 20% off used items from Amazon Warehouse - and that's on top of the discount these electronics already come with compared to their brand-new counterparts. Refurbished tech obviously comes with a caveat - it has some wear and tear already. However, Amazon guarantees that these devices are fit for purpose and offers a one-year warranty.

ChatGPT use declines as users complain about ‘dumber’ answers, and the reason might be AI’s biggest threat for the future

  Is ChatGPT old news already? It seems impossible, with the explosion of AI popularity seeping into every aspect of our lives - whether it’s digital masterpieces forged with the best AI art generators or helping us with our online shopping .

As reported by Insider , paying users of the more powerful GPT-4 model (access to which is included in ChatGPT Plus ) have been complaining on social media and OpenAI’s own forums about a dip in output quality from the chatbot. A common consensus was that GPT-4 was able to generate outputs faster, but at a lower level of quality. Peter Yang , a product lead for Roblox, took to Twitter to decry the bot’...

Who needs OLED when this budget 4K TV is such a good Black Friday deal?

Image
As you skim through this year’s best Black Friday TV deals it's easy to have your eyes drawn to £500+ savings that can be had on the best (and most expensive) televisions available today. Compared to these massive deals, a measly £80 saving against a budget LCD doesn’t seem anywhere near as impressive – though that doesn't mean you should dismiss it right away. We've been testing out Toshiba's UK31 smart TV – one of the best the brand has released in 2021 – and while it may not be as visually stunning as the latest LG OLED, it offers a great 4K picture quality with some impressive TRU picture software for enhancing whatever you’re watching. If you’re still stuck with an older HD TV and finally want to upgrade to 4K or are after a second TV to put in your bedroom or kid’s playroom then this 2021 TV is a fantastic choice – especially with this year’s Black Friday deals that have knocked the price down even further.
