Let’s start by taking a closer look at the standouts, before diving into the seemingly bottomless list of deals available right now. Just keep in mind that none of the retailers featured have specified how much stock has been set aside for each offer and when they will expire, so if you like the look of something you had best start punching in your credit card details (go on — grab it now if you don’t have it in hand!) to avoid disappointment.
Apple’s AirPods with Charging Case have spent more time in the discount bin these last few weeks than we’ve had hot dinners — and that’s saying something because Christmas is only just in the rear-view. Don’t let that deter you, though. If you’re looking to dip your foot into the wonderful world of true wireless earbuds, these are among the best in the business (for iPhones and iPads, at least) and at $139 you really can’t go wrong.
We’ve long said you haven’t lived until you’ve eaten a hearty, slow-cooked meal from an Instant Pot, and we maintain that opinion in 2020. Just throw in some ingredients in the morning, season, then leave them to simmer until dinner time. The result? No doubt the tastiest, tenderest meat and most flavorsome vegetables you’ve ever tasted. Best of all, the leading model is on sale at Amazon right now for $79 — down $21 from the usual $100.
There’s never been a better time to retire your aging HDTV in favor of a modern 4K TV. Why? Because we’re drowning in 4K Ultra HD content, as well as reduced 4K TVs. Just look at this 65-inch Samsung NU6900. Usually $800, the massive, high-resolution monster of a television is on sale for $480. It’s not discounted because it’s old hat, either — the NU6900 has everything you could ever need, including smart software for one-click streaming.
This one may seem a little dull because it doesn’t come as part of a bundle, but if you’re in the market for a PlayStation 4 Pro (1TB), Walmart has it for $299 — a total discount of $100. Just consider that $100 that you saved a budget to start stocking up on games. You may want to act fast, though — there are several must-have titles on sale at the moment, including Devil May Cry 5 and NBA 2K20, so you can probably squeeze a fair few out of it.
Now, let’s take a look at all the deals available:
A virtual private network (VPN) encrypts your internet traffic and routes it through a server run by the VPN provider. Websites see the VPN server’s IP address instead of yours, and you can get around geo-blocks, censorship, and ISP throttling. The best VPN services are paid, but there are still a handful of free options that do the job well.
Most free VPNs come with a hidden cost, because running servers isn’t cheap and a company that doesn’t charge you has to make its money somewhere else. Many do so by logging your browsing activity and selling it to advertisers, while others flood you with ads and track you across apps.
Choosing a note-taking app is not easy. What note-taking app you choose depends on your needs, the platform you use, and of course, the cost. The process becomes even more complicated as it seems that there’s a new shiny app released every other week.
That’s why I always suggest choosing a note-taking app that has all the features you need and can last you for a long time. Also, don’t chase new apps. The real power of a note-taking app comes when all your notes live in one place, making it easy to spot connections between them.
There's no shortage of messaging apps out there. The past decade has given us more options than we know what to do with, largely because smartphones demanded something better than plain old SMS.
Both the App Store and the Play Store are packed with apps that promise to revolutionize the way we communicate. Most of them didn't make it. The truth is, a messaging app is only as good as the number of people using it, and most apps never cross that threshold.
