I'm doing a 50% off sale for my app Recut, https://getrecut.com

It's a simplified video editor that removes pauses and dead air, and creates a cut list you can then import into a "real" editor.

Saves a bunch of time if you're doing talking-head videos, vlogging, podcasts, screencasts... the sorts of content where the first step of editing is to chop out the long pauses and mistakes. I originally built it because I was doing screencasts and wanted the process to go faster :D

Some apps I really like are on sale. Here are some suggestions: Web Development: - ProxyMan - https://proxyman.io/ — web debugging proxy (30% off the first year) - Tower - https://www.git-tower.com/ — powerful Git Client (50% off the first year) - DevUtils - https://devutils.com/ — set of small developer tools (50% off) For overall productivity: - BetterTouchTool - https://folivora.ai/ — customize input devices (50%…

I just tried three times to buy Trickster on their website and failed each time. The checkout UX is horrendous not letting you go back or telling you why it failed.

I put off buying a new gaming laptop for my daughter until I could find one with decent specs for under US$1000. I'd check every week or so. Finally, thanks to Black Friday, I found two yesterday that had just crept under.

Asus TUF F15 at B&H: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1702433-REG/asus_fx50...

Acer Predator Helios at Best Buy: https://www.bestbuy.com/site/acer-predator-helios-300-15-6-f...

They're really almost identical; I ended up buying the TUF (which has since gone up but only by $20) because it had a larger SSD. I'm sure somebody else can do better - please comment here if you do! - but this seems to set a pretty good benchmark.

An Anker Power Bank (24,000mAh) has a £40 discount right now on Amazon UK. This is a really nice piece of tech that has helped me to work outside the house with peace of mind. Can keep my phone charged (which I use for tethering) for over a week, no problem. Drains way quicker when charging my M1, but that one has far less battery issues when compared to my phone. The discount is real, as well. I know because I bough…

Anyone else bothered that they do not specify the energy in watt-hour? Back when USB was 5V it was pretty easy to do the conversion from Ah, how does it work now that USB can negotiate voltage dynamically?

Not sure if it's available in other countries, but in France you have Dealabs which allows you to vote on deal and offers a bit like on reddit, allowing the community to highlight the best bargains. It's also used as a commercial device by companies directly nowadays but the good deals there are usually worth checking out. https://www.dealabs.com/

https://hukd.com for the UK equivalent.

Ooh, that's a great app idea! I hate having to do this in my own videos - it takes so long.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

If anyone is thinking of buying a power bank, I strongly recommend those ones that can also start a car. Way less hassle than jumper cables

Can you give an example of one? It blows my mind that this is possible - I mean not the technology exactly, that makes sense, but just that something reasonably portable that I would carry around in case my phone dies can also have the level of utility of jumping my vehicle in a pinch. The future is pretty cool.

I’ve used some of the NoCo ones for years and happy with them. The Drive has conveniently listed the Black Friday deals!

AMD slashed the price of the Ryzen 9 series CPUs this week. A 7950X now goes for $550, down from $700. That said I'm not sure if this is a Black Friday deal or a permanent reduction to be price-competitive with Intel Raptor Lake.

It's a trap. Notoriously, electronics bought for Black Friday are the worst batch available. You can expect higher error rates and technical issues for CPUs and GPUs bought during BF.

Then you just RMA them. Problem solved.
