Thanksgiving is around the corner. Happy Thanksgiving to folks in the USA.
It is also the time for Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals.
While there are discount campaigns offered on a range of products, I am listing some that should be of interest for a Linux user and tech enthusiast.
Take a look and see if something interests you.
Do keep in mind that these deals are for a limited time only, and they have been duly mentioned.
Most, if not all, services have a money-back policy. It helps in getting your money back if you don't like the product or service. Please get those details before you decide to buy.
Of course, buy what you need or what you want (if it's affordable). Don't burn your pocket. Furthermore, read the terms and conditions of the deals. Make an intelligent buying decision.
Cloud Storage Deals
Black Friday deals are the best time to extend your cloud storage. You will find some insane lifetime deals, some long-term, and some subscriptions. For some services, you can stack up the deals to increase the storage.
