What did everyone buy during BlackFriday, that you didn't need in the first place. Did anyone wait in line for hours or days for a blackfriday sale?

No such thing as Black Fridays anymore, its all marketing crap and no real deals anymore, maybe a few bucks. They spend their budget on marketing vs giving us a great deal, think of it as DLC and Miro-transactions for the stupid consumer...

Picked up an EVGA 1000w G2 PSU for a very good price from their B.F. sale . Also EVGA GTX1070Ti Hybrid at Newegg since I can not get it into my cart here on their site. Looking at picking up a new bass guitar and amp. Lots of sales going on. Sold some of my hardware collection, time to downsize.

Love to hear a report back on the Pixel 2 XL.. I have the Pixel XL and Google are still offering me $400 rebate if I upgrade to the Pixel 2 XL. The original XL is a great phone, although it could do with a bit more memory, but having free unlimited (and full size RAW) image etc backups to Google certainly helps. One of the more important functions for me (besides being a phone) is the camera. The one thing that is really putting me off the Pixel 2 XL is having no headphone plug. I suppose that helps to keep it more water resistant, but replacing my Bose headphones with the bluetooth version is another near $200, and I'm still dubious about wearing bluetooth headphones as my wife worked with someone who was always wearing a bluetooth headset (the ones that just loop around one ear for speech, not music) - dude ended up with some form of bone cancer exactly where the bluetooth device sat, and apparently no history of cancer in his family. :( I think I just talked myself out of it again, lol.

I got a netgear orbi from amazon, and a vortex HD2 scope for my AR. Almost got $2k worth of WC stuff from EK but decided to cancel at the last minute consider i'm not building anything new that I don't already have parts for until next year, so it can wait for next year deal =D.

Its good so far! Dont worry about the lack of headphone jack. It comes with a USB adapter that plugs into the phone so you can use headphones. Its a headphone jack to usb thingy. It doesnt use a regular USB though. So all of my car chargers and stuff dont work. Its like an omni directional plug thats similar to usb. So youll never plug it in upside down, it can go in either way. Frustrating that all my extra chargers from previous phones no longer work. The icons bother me a bit. My Galaxy Note 4 would turn something green if it was on (Bluetooth, location, etc) but this one just does black/white making it more difficult to know if its on or not. Location is always on. You can turn it off through the settings but its not a widget like all other android phones. Google phone spies on me, which is weird but its the future I guess. It will just randomly give me updates on things like football games and ask me to review restaurants Ive been to in the last couple days. Like, how does it know where I was 7 days ago BEFORE i even got this phone? How does it know that I was watching that football game? I dont post or google the game if im watching it. Is it linked up with my ISP? I just dont know. Overall its a good phone it will just take some time getting used to because the options are in different spots than regular android phones. Every android since my Droid X has been basically the same from a usability standpoint, but this one is different.

It's called USB Type-C, it is a USB standard, and it should eventually become the new "regular" to replace a majority of the USB Mini-* and USB Micro-* ports in products which currently exist. Type-C can be plugged in either direction, is a faster connection, and can sustain greater power throughtput.

I got a Kitchenaid stand mixer on Black Friday but it really wasn't something I spur of the moment. I had an older hand me down mixer that broke while making dough for Thanksgiving dinner so I bought a new mixer.

Can't remember all the crap that I bought, but my Christmas shopping is now done. Some of the things I do remember or are tech. Router and modem for the GF's new house. 3 EVGA Powerlinks Monster sized Razer mousepad. Rechargeable screwdriver Thrustmaster HOTAS that I absolutely don't need. Add an EVGA G3 1000w to that list. Forgot that I wanted to grab one of those for a backup powersupply.
