I bought the new kindle yesterday and I'm so excited about ya O this black Friday week.
I''ve been seeking a nice price to get it. The last kindle I had was the 1st version!, broke it a year ago :(.

Now my wishlist is about a nice case for it or a support base for my Macbook.
And a new job.

Survive Black Friday/Cyber Monday without buying tech I don't really need because I already have noise-canceling headphones. 😅

  • I'm looking at you airpods pro! 👀

I wish I could buy tech that wasn’t built with military contracts or slave labor but that excludes, Microsoft, Amazon and virtually every other large tech conglomerate

I've been thinking about getting some AfterShokz, although I hadn't considered the advantages of noise cancellation.... 🤔

For me, a nice, ergonomic mouse.
None of that gamer stuff, I'm looking at just comfortable mice and hopefully one that has a scroll wheel toggle to quickly scroll through huge files.

Bose QuietComfort headphones have been invaluable to me during my long commutes on BART.

Nothing else I've tried has been able to reduce BART's banshee screech.

Me and my BF have a shared list.

  • Ring cam for the backyard. Preferably the floodlight combo.
  • Wink home automation system
  • Smartwatch for me (maybe)
  • TV for the basement

The first two are things we've been meaning to get for a while, so if there's a good deal we'll jump on them. The later two are nice to haves if there is a good deal.

Have you looked for previously-owned turntables? Maybe find an estate sale/garage sale and look for one? You can usually find great deals on used turntables.

I really need to put a moratorium on spending leading up to this time of year. I've got nothing in the queue.

Oops, I lied. If these go on sale I'd be hard-pressed not to give them a try.

A replacement to my Plasma TV. Upgrading to 4k and trying to figure out if TVs really last 8+ years anymore.

Tech-wise ... been contemplating letting go of the 12.9" iPad Pro for a 10" with Pen support and officially replacing my work notebooks. Not sure I can quite justify the costs though.

The way prices are headed downward, I don't think we're far from the day that a TV joins the ever-growing list of "disposable" tech. (...at least for entry-level and mid-grade units.)

This summer, I picked up a 50" 4K TCL 4-Series TV for less than $375 (CAD). Between Roku streaming, satellite receiver, Blueray/DVD, and light XBox One play; so far so good! A friend bought the 65" model from the same series and uses it exclusively for gaming--no complaints from him either.
