The best "deal" in the holidays, to me, are the extended return policies that give you ample time to better test and decide on the products, Apple ones in particular.

Vision Pro, for instance --- if one were so inclined, the holiday period would be a perfect time to trial that and really get a sense of if you want to keep it and will use it and the value to you, etc.

Their normal return policy is too short to really "know" about that with something like VP.

It’s time to re-think Black Friday. A stockpile of M2 machines with borderline impulse buy prices would be more exciting than these $50 off deals that essentially run year round anyway.
 
Most people here will own an Apple TV or another kind of streaming box, but still here is just a reminder to never connect your smart TV to the internet. The TV are so cheap because the manufacturers sell you out to data brokers for hundreds of Dollars per TV set. And I don't mean the ads you see on the TVs start screen.

Smart TVs run Automatic Content Recognition (ACR) software, this is the core of the tracking. ACR literally “looks" at what’s on your screen, frame by frame. That can include what TV shows, movies, and channels you watch. When and how long you watch. What streaming apps you use (Netflix, YouTube, Disney+...) Which ads appear on your screen and whether you watched or skipped them. If you use built-in apps (like Spotify, YouTube Music, or Pandora) that activity can be tracked the same way as video content.

Some models can even see content from connected HDMI devices (like game consoles, Blu-ray players, laptops or streaming sticks). In some cases they match what’s on your screen to a giant fingerprint database of shows and ads and then sell the viewing data to advertisers and data brokers for audience targeting. ACR can analyze video signals from HDMI sources and it looks for recognizable visual patterns.

Just never connect the TV. Use a streaming box instead.

So Black Friday used to be a day, then a week and now it’s basically black November? The day itself has lost its meaning.
