I'm still using my Pixel 3. It's been a great phone. I'll be replacing it with whatever Pixel is around when the 3 gives up the ghost.

Arrg! I hate Black Friday and I hate shopping for things online. There are so many offerings and eventually you just turn the computer off.
My current desktop monitor is not bad (23" 1920 x 1080). But it is 10 years old and the viewing angles are not great. When you get to a website where text boxes are differentiated by white vs. slightly off-white I have to move my head to see any contrast. Nowadays monitors have viewing angles > 180° (i.e. you can see them perfectly clearly from behind ). So, I wanted a 29" ultrawide 2560 x 1080, which gives me exactly the same height physically and pixelally. I like to look over the top of my monitor to see coyotes skulking by and kit foxes playing. 90% of 29" are made by LG. I had finally decided to buy a specific model, went to BestBuy.com and clicked. I was happily surprised to see that the price had been marked down $60 to $170. https://www.bestbuy.com/site/lg-29-i...?skuId=6506319 @tubemonkey I have a Moto E6 and I think it's a piece of junk. It's much inferior to my last E5 (which broke). Of course with model names now I don't know if my E6 has anything to do with your E6. Optical disk drives and 5-1/4" bays seem to be unpopular. It's hard to get a small PC chassis with one bay. Sure, you can get some washing machine sized beast with five bays. I built a custom enclosure out of aluminum. This was supposed to be just a prototype, but I kept it. |

Kobo has several e-readers on sale in Canada for various discounts.
As usual, the price is matched at other Canadian Kobo retailers like Chapters-Indigo and Best Buy. |

Since I know that you've all become fixated on my saga, I provide closure.
The main problem in choosing was that it had to mount on a custom mount. LG put the connections in a strange place. There is a connector for HDMI and one for DisplayPort. The DP connector would mostly be occluded by the mount. I thought, "That won't matter, I can just use the HDMI". I connected the new monitor up with HDMI. Windows insists that it's 1920 x 1080. I bought a new DP to DP cable. I modified the end that went into the monitor. I sawed through the metal shell on the connector and stripped it off. I stripped off the molding under that. I removed the metal shell under that. Using a heat gun I softened and removed the molding under that. I softened some more and bent the cable. In the end I didn't have a right angle connector, but at least it was 45° and fit. The monitor looks nice. BestBuy sent me a code for 3 free months of YouTube premium. I'm not sure what the worth of this is as YouTube gives one month free trial anyway. Hmm, that's a $12/month service, so $24 worth. Worth more to Google if they hook you. The deal is that you're defacto subscribed. They warn you in your last week and you can cancel. Last edited by Renate; 11-23-2022 at 09:26 AM. |
