It’s one of my favorite sites on the internet-- they do a ton of research and recommend the best choices in well, pretty much every category imaginable. Whenever I buy anything, I buy their recommendation and haven’t been disappointed yet.
They do a ton of work staying on top of deals around Thanksgiving and on other deal days like Amazon Prime day. I just refreshed the site and they uploaded within the past minute.
Speaking of good deals, I was looking through the crap we got in the local free paper that gets delivered on Tuesdays. I told my wife Target had a great deal on a Vegetable Spiralizer, but for some unknown reason she was not interested. Some people!
Harmony hub + button remote is $58, cheapest I’ve ever seen it new. I got a second one for my bedroom, replacing my old busted-ass harmony 650. Works with Alexa and controls devices via bluetooth, wifi, or IR. The remote batteries last forever with no screen, and it connects to the hub via RF so you don’t need line of sight. Best in class.
I got a little worked up when I received an email from Amazon saying that you could voice order echo dots for only $30. But only for a few hours on Wednesday evening. Special for Alexa owners! I tried ordering two but the deal didn’t work when you tried to buy two at once. So I just got one.
Then I wake up this morning and see an ad from Newegg where $30 is their sale price for Thanksgiving. So I guess the special voice ordering was not as special as I was led to believe. Live and learn.
At any rate, $30 for any Echo Dot is still a pretty good price regardless who you purchase it from.
By the way, Siri translated Echo Dot as pickle God. Google voice recognition is miles ahead of Apple’s.
Most will, but it depends on the studio in question. There are a a few holdouts. That may change in the future, expanding coverage. Current participants are Disney, Sony, Fox, Universal, and WB. I’ve found the spottiest coverage with little indie things like It Stains the Sands Red or It Comes at Night. Also note that TV shows aren’t covered.
Awesome - and that’s even if I just buy the ordinary blu-ray, not the 4K blu ray?
I don’t have a 4k TV right now and don’t want to pay extra for 4K blu-rays, but I figure the 4K digital versions will be nice to have once I do eventually get one.
