Rolling right into October and the end of the year is in already in sight (hopefully with a trip to Japan somewhere inbetween). I could have sworn that we were just at the beginning of the year…
Without further ado, the changes plus the detailed list are below (a few of the links are Amazon Affiliate links to help defray the hosting costs):
Added:
- Headset – Beats 360 – Black – I was able to get these at $198 (usually $349.99) at Target on release day. So far, they are comfortable, love the swappable ear cups, yet I miss being able to hardwire the device in via USB-C or a 3.5mm jack.
Removed:
- Screenshots – Shottr – Moved back to the built in screenshot application.
- Storage – LincStation S1 – Falling back on the Mac Mini with the OWC Thunderbay and the UNAS Pro. This device became redundant and wasn’t needed.
- Pressure Cooker – Ninja Foodi Pressure Cooker – This device finally broke and wouldn’t turn on anymore. I am debating if I will purchase another pressure cooker as I have been primarily using it for curry and I just do that on the stove top now.
