8TB Seagate External for $170 shipped with code EMCRFBJ24, ends 5/21:

https://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...82E16822178951

You can also find them on Ebay for $175 shipped almost anytime, but not sure they are an authorized reseller.

I've noticed that happens a lot. But the warranty will void if you have the brilliant idea of popping that drive out and use it in your computer.

If you have American Express card login to the Amex website to see if you have this deal available. It's good for up to $30 savings.

Big PSU sale (up to 54% off + free shipping) at https://www.evga.com/BF2017/ until 11/27/2017 @ 11:59 PM

Better prices than Newegg, Microcenter, Fry's, and Amazon, and no rebates to deal with either.

2TB Intel NVMe M.2 SSD for $249... :wow:

https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/produ...-660P-NVMe-M.2

EDIT: there seems to be some issue with this drive not having the fastest sustained write speeds, readsshould be on par with other NVMe SSDs.

I have wanted a Google Assistant display for in our kitchen for a while but refused to pay the prices for one based on what they really were for a long time. There is a deal right now for the Nest Home Hub for $61 shipped with coupon code SAVE15 https://www.rakuten.com/shop/altatac...cJUx4J7nnsZeHA

I think it will be useful for recipes and to see what is playing in the kitchen while cooking. I will have the sound from it played on my kitchen speakers instead of its speakers so the crapy built-in speakers will only be used for Assistance responses.

Free Apple Watch and up to an additional $260 in gift cards

https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT05058950

https://www.intuitionstudy.com/

Wear an Apple Watch. Perform study activities on your iPhone. It’s that easy to participate in Intuition: a virtual brain health study.

Be part of Intuition: a brain health study

Intuition is a virtual research study sponsored by Biogen, in collaboration with Apple, for participants between the ages of 21 and 86. By joining us, you can help researchers investigate the role an Apple Watch and iPhone could play in:
.
  • Measuring changes in thinking and memory in adults
  • Studying longer-term changes in brain health – some of which may occur normally as we age, while others could be an early indicator of certain forms of dementia, such as Alzheimer’s disease

This study, therefore, may be an important step toward better understanding overall brain health.


To be eligible, you must:
.
  • Be 21 to 86 years of age
  • Have and use an iPhone 8 (released in fall 2017) or later
  • Have access to Wi-Fi or hardwired internet
  • Have an active email address
  • Have a compatible computer (Mac or Windows) or iPad
  • Live in the United States
  • Be willing to wear an Apple Watch, which will be provided, on a daily basis
