Ask HN: Any (tech) black friday deals you'd recommend?
Doing post-thanksgiving shopping and thought the HN folk might have some cool gift ideas and deal-hunting strategies to share.
Preferably tech-related since this is HN, but really anything that improves your life / others would be great to hear about.
- knobli 7y agoShodan.io and PentesterLab deals if you are into Cyber Security
- fyp 7y agoIf you're building a PC, I suggest pcpartpicker.com for comparisons and checking historical prices. The really good deals (along comments about caveats that aren't apparent from specs) will usually show up on https://www.reddit.com/r/buildapcsales https://www.reddit.com/r/buildapcsales or https://www.reddit.com/r/buildapc https://www.reddit.com/r/buildapc
- rwol 7y agoI've been watching /r/buildapcsales like a hawk for graphics card deals. Can't decide if I'll pull the trigger on a sub $300 5700 or 5700 xt, or wait until ~summer 2020 for the Navi 2.0 release since I barely game anyway.
- dynamicdox 7y agoI just bought a pc that has a 5700xt and I love it so far. Handles all games flawlessly on high settings
- rwol 7y agoI'm tempted. Do you know which model of the 5700 xt? Is it noisy or not too bad?
