It's hard to overstate how good a price this is on Nest's combo smoke/carbon monoxide detector.One of the smartest, most important pieces of tech in my home doesn't have a screen.

Cyber Monday brings loads of great deals on the hottest tech devices of 2019, but you shouldn't forget about discounts on valuable tools that will serve you for years to come. I'm talking about Surfshark VPN, which will provide privacy and anonymity while you traverse the online world. Instead of paying the full $323 price for a 27-month subscription, you can instead get it for just $47.76. That's an 85% discount, and it brings the monthly price down to $1.77.Virtual private networks (VPN) are powerful tools that preserve privacy and anonymity while online. Any data sent from your computer, phone, or other device is shuttled through an encrypted tunnel where it's delivered to the VPN server you're connected to. This server has its own IP address and is shared with other users, so anyone watching will have a very hard time determining who is doing what. The encryption also helps protect against anyone attempting to take advantage of unprotected Wi-Fi; if you travel a lot and deal wi...
