Usually this happens when a device has a major update which requires a change in permissions. You may have to relink the accounts between Amazon and Philips hue.

Bought Affinity Designer and a couple of online courses from Udemy.com whilst reduced.
Really want to have a go at digital drawing and designing, so should give me a good start over Christmas!

Mmm, I had wondered that as they ‘extended’ the ‘sale’.
They were £10 each so worth the risk either way. Tried Youtube first but most seem to be timelapse of drawings, or really basic to the point of worthless.

We used to be able to control our living room TV with Google home, then one day it simply stopped. Relinked the Chromecast etc but nothing works.

Balck Friday is a recent occurrence, and even if you look to the US, the term wasn't coined until the 70's. Thanksgiving and Boxing day has existed for hundreds of years.
It is purely coincidental.
so it precedes the usa exported halloween festival and the original movie
need to watch the new onecan we have thanksgiving in the uk soon ?
but - i guess brexit day will be the next one for the calender that will become the real black friday ?

Some people say it is the first day the retailers go into black (account) in the year.
If you read the reports on places like Which? They say most products are cheaper earlier in the year or within 3 months following Black Friday.
Most of the deep discounts is on old stock anyway that retailers need to shift or current gen stuff that is EOL and due to be replaced in Jan/Feb.
Hence the deeper discounds within 3 months (Jan sales).

Don't get me wrong, I like Udemy, have about 30 courses on there, but I don't think I've ever paid more than £15 for a '£200 video course'.

Didn't really buy anything other than a couple of Xmas gifts.

Bought another 8TB drive

Just added something to my Amazon wishlist, then when checking over the wishlist I've noticed about 40% of the items are now way cheaper than when I added them. A set of pans I added 2 weeks ago have dropped from £205 to £114.
Seems like appropriate timing.

This is true for many of my cases,
*Looks at 2700x purchased at £279 and Samsung Evo 1tb NVME purchase at £175 one week before BF*
Same. I have multiple accounts with them. If the course you want isn't heavily discounted clear your cookies and recheck, still no joy the register with another email for introductory offer. If all else failf wait a few days, it won't be long.
Interesting, I would not pay for a single Udemy course unless it was heavily recommended or required for some qualification. I grabbed some free courses earlier in the year and could not understand half of what the Indian lady was saying, and the code that I could work with was error-laden. Those courses 'used to be' similar in price to the others, apparently.
If they reduced these to zero because of their quality, it's a bad way to pull in interest in your services by giving the worst away for free. Shoulda pulled them, didn't, now I think the rest of their products are of similar quality.
Yes the quality varies greatly. Udemy is a platform where people.can make and sell their own courses. Udemy does not provide the content itself.
As such there are good and bad ones. I've used them to supplement learning for a number of IT industry qualifications but I've always researched the course and tutor elsewhere first.
A lot are Indians who sound like they're in a toilet cubicle trying to deepthroat a microphone but the good ones are decent value under the £20 mark. Assuming they suit your learning style. If you're good reading books then just stick to that
Edit- yes you're right, giving away the bottom of the barrel for free is not going to bring repeat business. If they're truly no good they should delete them. Not sure what, of any, quality control they have.

Agreed, I've bought some really good courses from them and have learnt a lot. I find if you stick to the popular and we'll rated courses you're normally fairly safe. I didn't get on with one course and it was easy enough to get a refund on it.
Tbf, the amount I bought, I probably should have used a subscription based site, but at the same time, now I'm on down time from learning, I'm not wasting money each month.

Cheers, creepyoldvulpine!I ended up getting the Behringer 1202FX.
It wasn't in a sale but the shop owed me £25 so I got it for £38.
I need it to get 2 synths, guitar and mandolin to go to 2x powered Mackie SRM450s.
