Black Friday & Cyber Monday 2026

[Placebo]

Anyone looking out for any exciting deals or purchases?

Personally I have a couple of things I'm looking for:

Frugal Usenet - Going to sign up to their deal, I switched Usenet providers last year and wasn't impressed.

Office 365 - I've been using a shared one but going to return to the fold if they do a good deal.

Fiber Broadband - Moving apartment in the next week or two and will be ordering gigabit fiber (currently in a rental with only 250Mbit so missing the fast speeds!).

Where I live we're lucky that we get xDSL with 100-ish Mbps downstream and 20 Mbps upstream. 🤣

Yeah that's way too slow for me! Most apartments in Sweden get basic internet/tv in their monthly fee but that's usually 250Mbit like the current one.

I was lucky to get a new PC built for me around Singles day, I say lucky because ram has skyrocketed - the one I got has gone up almost 100%. I know the seller personally and he promised to repay any possible Black Friday discounts that went further, but the ram and SSD both went up, rest stayed the same.
I got a fairly beefy PC for video editing and have been hunting for BF deals on monitors, that stuff has been driving me mental to a point of dreaming about them. There are too many types!
I had a dirt cheap one lined up to tide me over for a bit but it was one of the few ones actually on display in store and they managed to unsell me on it.
