FREE LEARNINGS
And now to something that doesn’t have anything to do with World Backup Day 🙂

If you like to learn new things without paying, Amazon is offering a number of FREE AWS courses. There’s a variety of courses. You “buy” them for $0, similar to how you get free Kindle e-books or free videos or mp3s at the Amazon website.

As of the time of writing these only work on desktops and laptops per the Amazon page (including Chromebooks). The course “runs” on Amazon’s website. I haven’t tried running it on a tablet with the browser in desktop mode to see if it works in such a configuration. Chromebooks are the new tablets, at least in the non-iOS world 🙂

AWS is Amazon Web Services. A good starting point might be their Cloud Essentials course…

500GB Sandisk Extreme Portable USB 3.1 Type-C External SSD for $80

I think the time is right to demand USB-C from everything. Although if you are like me and you have a mix of USB-C and micro-USB (and even a couple of leftover mini-USB) devices and your Charging Points are already configured for both USB-C and micro-USB, you have more flexibility. Unless you want to go full USB-C.

There’s also a sale of action cameras and drones…

Next up we have the Storage Sale that includes Sandisk SD and microSD, Samsung, Lexar, Axe and more, three pages of them! There’s even some CompactFlash UDMA7 of the Lexar kind!

But you won’t get the free shipping benefits or any of the other DRM-restricted benefits (video, ebooks, etc)…

The importance of the Pixel 3 is that it is the oldest (aka cheapest) Pixel phone to be getting Android 12 (Developer Preview already available) per the Google Support page. The cut-off point for the Pixel 3 models is October 2021. For a quick refresher on the Pixel phones, try the Wikipedia page…

And for those of you participating in the Lucky’s Rewards program, this weekend’s B&M freebie is “BodyArmor Edge”, a caffeine + electrolytes type of a drink. I haven’t tried it and from the looks of the bottle, this looks more like something you’d put in an automobile engine 😉

Meanwhile at the Amazon USA Gold Box for Saturday they have a couple of selfie-rings and a square lighting panel among the NexiGo webcam sales… Also part of the dailies is a JBL Flip 4 speaker and various AmazFit fitness trackers and smartwatches (over 25 options)…
