Speaking with Netflix CEO Reed Hastings last week, Bloomberg learned that the company was considering testing a lower-priced tier of its streaming service in Asian territories. It apparently didn’t take long for the company to reach its decision, as Malaysia’s The Star reported on Wednesday that Netflix has introduced a mobile-only plan in the Asian country, charging just RM17 for a subscription (which translates to around $4 USD).

The “Mobile” plan, which costs half as much as the Basic plan, only allows users to watch Netflix on one smartphone or tablet at a time, and only in standard definition. If you want to watch on a laptop or TV, you’ll have to upgrade to at least the Basic plan, and if you want HD video, you’ll need the Standard or Premium plan.

The Nest Learning Thermostat is a best-seller each and every year during the Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales event. This year, however, you don’t even have to wait for Black Friday to score a killer deal on this awesome smart thermostat. Amazon is running a sale right now that drops the Nest to its lowest price of the year, and we’re confident that it won’t get any lower on Black Friday or Cyber Monday. In other words, grab one right now so you don’t have to worry about it next week.

Nest (T3007ES) Learning Thermostat, Easy Temperature Control for Every Room in Your House, Stai…: $199.00

Here are the bullet points from the product page:

• Works with Alexa for voice control (Alexa device sold separately).
• SAVE ENERGY WITH NEST: Nest introduces the 3rd generation Nest Learning Thermostat. With four beautiful colors to choose from and an easy to read display, this thermostat will help make your home not only smart but energy efficient. With just a few manual adjustments, the Nest Thermostat can learn your habits and start to save you money by automatically adjusting the temperature.
• READ THE DISPLAY FROM ACROSS THE ROOM: The Nest Thermostat does something new. It’s called Farsight, and it lights up to show you the temperature, weather or time. You can even choose a digital or analog clock face. Farsight is big and bright on the beautiful display – you can see it from across the room.
• A STYLE FOR EVERY HOME: The Nest Learning Thermostat now comes in four fantastic colors; Copper, Stainless Steel, Black, and White. Choose copper to add a warm touch. Stainless steel is perfect for a classic, versatile look. Black blends in with dark walls and stylish decor. And white looks great in simple, modern homes.
• WORKS WITH NEST: Nest has worked hard to design thoughtful devices to help keep you safe and secure. Nest devices not only communicate with each other but also with the other smart devices around your home. Your Nest Secure can use your smart light bulbs to help get your attention in the event of an emergency; your smart washer and dryer can take the data from Nest and run the next load of laundry when energy demand is low. Look for the Works with Nest badge and let Nest handle the rest.
• THERE’S NO PLACE LIKE A NEST HOME: We love home. It’s the best place in the world. But not everything inside our homes is lovable. Some things beep at us; fail without warning; keep us in the dark. There are things we’ve learned to ignore. We think these things should do more. Nest is focused on making simple, human, delightful things. That’s how we’re creating the thoughtful home: A home that takes care of the people inside it and the world around it.
• Works with Amazon Alexa for voice control (Alexa device sold separately)

Black Friday 2018 is just a little over a week away, and at this point in the game we already have a pretty good idea of what to expect from retailers when it comes to tech sales this season. We saw most of the Black Friday ads that we care about either leaked or announced well ahead of the shopping event, and there are few surprises left ahead Black Friday. In fact, some Black Friday discounts are available early from various stores, and Best Buy is one of them. The electronics retailer will host a special pre-Black Friday sale this Sunday, but not everyone will qualify.

Well, Apple fans, it looks like your favorite gadget maker has one more surprise up its sleeve ahead of the holidays this year. Earlier this week, one of the most prolific leakers who covers mobile tech said that Apple “definitely” still plans to release next-generation AirPods this year. The leaker in question typically focuses his efforts on Samsung products, but he has been known to set his sights on Apple gear every now and then. His information is almost always accurate these days, so Apple fans had plenty to be excited about following his revelation.

If you were among the people who got excited when you first learned that Apple will launch its long-awaited second-generation true wireless earbuds before the end of the year, then we have even more good news for you on Wednesday: A new leak appears to confirm the news, leaving precious little doubt that Apple’s new cord-free “AirPods 2” earbuds will hit store shelves in the coming weeks.

If you thought you were going to have to wait until Black Friday to find killer deals on the latest flagship smartphones, you’re in for a pleasant surprise on Wednesday morning. Why? Because it turns out that an early deal launching later this week will get you a brand new OnePlus 6T from T-Mobile for free. As you’ll undoubtedly recall from our in-depth OnePlus 6T review, this new flagship phone has a lot going for it. OnePlus’ just-released handset is the most powerful Android phone you can buy in the United States, and it also happens to be the first phone in the US with a hotly anticipated feature that people can’t stop talking about: an in-screen fingerprint scanner. That means no big ugly home button below the display and no annoying rear-mounted fingerprint sensor to fish around for.

There are obviously a bunch of caveats with this T-Mobile deal, as there are with all deals that get you a free smartphone. But it’s still one of the best deals you’ll find this holiday shopping season on what we believe to be the best new Android flagship in the US right now.
