Walmart is selling the 42mm GPS and cellular configuration for just $250, perfect for the gift-giving season.
We’re almost in the throes of Black Friday, and plenty of early deals are available now, including at Walmart. The retailer is lowering prices on coveted Apple gear and we’ve spotted the 42mm Apple Watch Series 10 cellular model at a massive 50% off.
This brings the Apple Watch Series 10 down to just $249, which is both cheaper than its original price and the newer Apple Watch Series 11. Considering this major discount, we don’t expect this deal to last for long.
Walmart currently has the 42mm Apple Watch Series 10 GPS and cellular configurations for this price with a jet black aluminum case and black sport band or a silver aluminum case and denim sport band.
The Apple Watch Series 10 is a great fit for fitness enthusiasts who want to keep better track of their metrics. Some of the health and wellness measures you can monitor include oxygen, heart rate, sleep patters, menstrual cycle patterns and physical activity.
Along with this, you can sync this smartwatch to your phone and receive calls or texts. With a battery life of up to 18 hours with a single charge, you won’t have to worry about looking for an outlet through the day.

Formula 1 Fans Can Now Explore Race Circuits With Apple’s New Maps Guide
F1 fans can get revved up for the approaching season with a tech boost from Apple Maps.
If you’re a Formula 1 fan and have your iPhone handy, you might want to check out Apple Maps. Apple on Wednesday added a new guide for its Maps app showcasing the race tracks for next month’s Australian Grand Prix.
Users can explore a detailed, 3D version of Melbourne’s Albert Park Grand Prix Circuit directly in Apple Maps and find details for all 24 tracks of the season with the Formula 1 Tracks From Around The World guide. It can also be found on the Apple TV Formula 1 Channel.
Currently, the only location done up in 3D is the Albert Park map, where you can explore the F1 Pit Garage, stadiums and more. Apple will continue to add more 3D tracks throughout the year.
The updated maps include:
- Grand Prix Elements: Kerbs are shown on the maps to match the real-life experience, along with grandstands and pedestrian footbridges, all in 3D and labeled. All 14 of the circuit’s turns are also labeled.
- Pop-Up Locations: Attendees will easily find entrance gates, restrooms, water stations, first aid and merchandise stands. Walking paths are shown directly on the maps, with walking directions available for grandstands.
- 3D Grand Prix Circuit Landmarks: The Pit Building, Lakeside Stadium (Bob Jane Stadium), Melbourne Sports & Aquatic Center, and the Finish Line are all prominently highlighted and showcased.
- 3D Melbourne Landmarks: Attendees looking to explore further can find several of Melbourne’s landmarks detailed in 3D in Maps.
Last year, Apple paid $140 million for exclusive F1 streaming rights in the US.

Instagram Will Alert Parents if Teens Repeatedly Search for Self-Harm and Suicide Terms
The change applies to accounts using parental supervision tools.
Instagram will soon alert some parents if their teen repeatedly tries to search for terms related to suicide or self-harm within a short period. Instagram owner Meta said on Thursday that it’s rolling out the new notifications to parents in the US, UK, Australia and Canada, with other regions to follow later this year.
Thursday’s update follows the 2024 introduction of teen accounts. It applies to parents using the platform’s optional parental supervision setting, which requires consent from both teens and their parents to participate. Parental supervision allows parents to see the accounts their teen follows, set a time limit for how long their teen can use the app and more.
If teens repeatedly make suicide-related searches, parents will receive alerts via in-app notifications and email, text or WhatsApp, depending on available contact information. In addition to informing parents of their teen’s searches, notifications will allow them to «view expert resources designed to help them approach potentially sensitive conversations with their teen,» according to Meta.
Meta said it would prompt an alert if a teen attempted to search for phrases promoting suicide or self-harm and phrases that suggest a teen wants to harm themselves. The company said its policy is to block searches for self-harm and suicide content and direct people to resources and helplines.

Hint for today’s Strands puzzle
Today’s Strands theme is: It’s a little much
If that doesn’t help you, here’s a clue: Whoa, that’s plenty!
Clue words to unlock in-game hints
Your goal is to find hidden words that fit the puzzle’s theme. If you’re stuck, find any words you can. Every time you find three words of four letters or more, Strands will reveal one of the theme words. These are the words I used to get those hints, but any words of four or more letters that you find will work:
- LURE, HARK, HARKEN, LATE, SORE, ROSE, TEAL, LATER, GLUE, GLUED, PLUS, LESS, GLARE
Answers for today’s Strands puzzle
These are the answers that tie into the theme. The goal of the puzzle is to find them all, including the spangram, a theme word that reaches from one side of the puzzle to the other. When you have all of them (I originally thought there were always eight but learned that the number can vary), every letter on the board will be used. Here are the nonspangram answers:
- GLUT, EXCESS, SURPLUS, OVERKILL, REDUNDANCY
Today’s Strands spangram
Today’s Strands spangram is ENOUGHALREADY. To find it, start with the E that’s four letters to the right on the top row, and wind down and around.
