The Futurist is your daily tech, cosmic, and science (both weird or otherwise) newsletter with articles and content curated just for you. | | “During football season, millions of Americans glue their eyeballs to their television screens to catch hard-hitting NFL matchups on a weekly basis. However, there’s something extra special about watching the big Thanksgiving football games. Surrounded by food and family, with absolutely no reason to leave the couch, you can lazily absorb all the pigskin action. It’s a classic tradition, one made even more convenient by modern technology. So forget watching via cable. Here’s how to catch the NFL's Thanksgiving football games using a streaming TV service.” | Stuck using that same old computer you’ve had for years? As tempting as it is to ditch it for something shiny and new, that’s not the only way to achieve a fresh and updated feel. Windows 11 is Microsoft’s latest operating system, and it’s now on sale for $22.97, its lowest price to date. It has more tools for productivity and accessibility than its predecessors, and it’s got better security (we’re assuming) than whatever you’re currently working with. Download it to your PC, keep it for life with a one-time payment, and let that modernized interface fool you into thinking your computer is brand-spankin’-new.

The Webb telescope's extraordinary resolution and infrared sensitivity have allowed astronomers to investigate the galaxy's dense center like never before. The region is often characterized by the presence of dense concentrations of stellar dust and gas, primarily hydrogen and helium, which are the raw materials from which stars are born.” | “It’s not your imagination: Airlines are piling on more fees and extra charges, driving up the cost of air travel. Across the industry, revenue from what’s known as ancillary sales — fees for selecting seats, checking bags, and buying food, to name a few — will reach a record $117.9 billion in 2023. That’s a 7.7% increase from pre-pandemic records, according to a recent study from airline consultancy firm IdeaWorks and B2B car rental company CarTrawler.” | Get unlimited data, talk, text, and hotspot with Visible.

Could they possibly beat the iPhone 15 Pro Max in astrophotography?’ That's when I whipped out the Google Pixel 8 Pro and the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra.” | Interested in having one of your social posts featured in The Futurist? | P.S. — We're going to be too busy stuffing our faces to send our newsletter tomorrow, but we'll be back Friday with more futuristic fun and maybe a Black Friday deal or two. 👀 To hold you over until then, here are a few of our favorite Thanksgiving memes: | | | | | | | | | |
