UPDATE: among the Woot daily deals there’s a scratch-n-dent 11.6″ Samsung Chromebook (model XE303C12) going for $90 with a 90-day Woot warranty. Note that this does not get automatic Chrome OS updates (expired July 2018) and has 2GB RAM and 16GB on-board (and microSD) and Exynos processor and full-size USB ports. This was my first Chromebook, and as of three years ago it was already struggling with some of the busier and more demanding websites especially when using multiple tabs. So this can be useful for uni-taskers, eg tech-averse person using it for email and one-page-at-a-time browsing, but anything more demanding, you are better off with newer models…

The latest incarnation of the Adorama daily deals (changes Monday 10am ET or earlier if sold out) is the new condition Hubsan ZINO Pro Plus Standard Version Ultra HD 4K Quadcopter going for $299 with free US shipping…

I love how Hubsan managed to stick in all the buzzwords in the product name, “Ultra”, “Pro”, “Plus” but despite all the buzzwords it is also Standard 😉

An Intel i5, a couple of ASUS Vivobooks, a 2TB Toshiba Canvio for $54, and more can be found at the NewEgg daily deals…

Among the Sunday Kindle daily deals of the Amazon USA Gold Box there are potentially two books of quasi-related interest:

+ Chasing the Light: Writing, Directing, and Surviving Platoon, Midnight Express, Scarface, Salvador, and the Movie Game from Oliver Stone for $5

+ Process: The Writing Lives of Great Authors for $1
+ if you are a member of Kindle Unlimited, you can read this for free

Also inside the Amazon Gold Box is the most exciting sale ever, RX Bars on sale, all kinds, variety packs and single-flavor, minis and regular size, old flavors and new! As a minimum you must needs try the Chocolate-Sea-Salt and the Maple… The Minis are great for portion control IF you can stop at one a time 🙂

Note however that I haven’t tried any of their Oat/Oatmeal products, I have no clue how they taste, YMMV on those 🙂

Sunday is here and at the B&H Photo daily deals there is a 7-pack of offerings good until Sunday at 11:59pm ET or earlier if sold out:

+ SetWear Reusable 2-Layer Cotton Face Mask for $5

+ Tamrac Quick Release Paracord Shoulder Strap (Charcoal) for $13

The current Adorama daily deal (changes Sunday 10am ET nuTime) is the new condition WiseLift WLT400 Rolling work station Swivel Table with USB Ports and Drink Holder going for $300 with free US shipping… Of course there’s a drink holder, not sure though if it fits the 64oz 711 99c Pseudo-Colas 🙂

Last but not least at the Meh daily deal you get a 2-pack of Gabba Goods 1080p webcams for $29 with free US shipping for MEh-meh-ME-members…

UPDATE: if you want a touchless thermometer to add your “COVIDalia Collection”, as part of the Amazon “Savings and Sales” they have this new condition Touchless Thermometer going for $10, fulfilled by Amazon, with up to two per customer at the sale price… It averages 4.4 out of 5 based on over 8000 customer ratings as of the time of writing of this blog post… Per the customer reviews and the Q&A, this uses two AAA batteries, so a big plus for those with a mountain of rechargeables 🙂

UPDATE #2: in a rarity for the Woot daily deals the headliner is an Apple sale that is new condition, not refurbished! The sale featured 17 items, mostly Macbooks with a couple of MacMinis. The price range of the sale is $470 to $1730… They come with a 1-year Apple warranty…

Speaking of Apple, there’s also a Beats headphones sale ($60 to $190) and a 14″ portable monitor for $238…

They have two flavor options for your freebie, Dark or Caramel… As you may recall, a few months ago Coca Cola paid $5 billion to buy British coffee chain Costa Coffee, so of course there’s a union of the two towers… Wait until they come up with Coca Cola Cappuccino and Coca Cola Latte 😉 It will make you crave Crystal Pepsi 😉
