Is nothing sacred?? Now, you can’t even escape Black Friday shopping madness by watching football.

Amazon Prime Video plans to inject “shoppable” ads into the first-ever Black Friday NFL game.

According to the WSJ, the Friday afternoon game between the New York Jets and the Miami Dolphins will feature “exclusive” online shopping deals advertised with on-screen QR codes throughout the action.

Yeah, ‘cos that’s just the incentive I need to tune into a football game on my day off — more ads.

The first robot vacuum to promise Matter support arrives.

SwitchBot’s K10 Plus is one of the smallest robot vacuums you can buy and the first to come with the promise of support for Matter. The company says it will be compatible with the new standard by the end of January through the SwitchBot Hub 2.

Launching today, the K10 Plus costs $499.99 with a special launch price of $399.99. It can also mop, has 2500Pa of suction, and comes with a teeny, tiny auto-empty/charging station.

I saw it in person at the IFA tech show in Berlin, along with SwitchBot’s more advanced S10 robot vac, and loved its compact size, which can get into tight spaces better than most full-sized bots. I’ve been testing it and will have a review soon.
