Are there any wishlist apps that sync with Amazon and Target?

etpjlighmj — Thu, 09 Apr 2026 17:15:34 +0000

Are there any wishlist apps that actually sync live with Amazon and Target? Im trying to set up my daughters birthday list and its a mess. I saw GiftHero and Thing To Get but people say they dont actually sync the stock levels in real time which is basically pointless for me. I just need one spot for my family to look at...

What is currently the best budget Intel CPU for office work?

rgqsnkdoqx — Thu, 09 Apr 2026 15:15:24 +0000

Ive been building high-end gaming rigs for years and usually just throw an i7 or i9 into everything without even thinking about it but now Im helping this small local non-profit set up their new admin office and my usual picks are way too expensive for them. Im looking at the LGA1700 stuff and honestly Im kinda overwhelmed by the refresh cycles lately like is the i3-12100 still the king for just spreadsheets and chrome or should I jump to the 13th/14th gen stuff for the extra efficiency? I need to buy 8 of these by Friday for under $110 each and I really wanna get this right. What is currently the best budget Intel CPU for office work?

What is the fastest way to share an Amazon cart with someone?

yquihwwwht — Thu, 09 Apr 2026 09:17:41 +0000

Seriously how is this still so hard in 2024? I am trying to coordinate this 30th anniversary surprise party for my parents and I have like 45 items in my cart right now—decorations, streamers, those weird photo booth props, even some catering supplies. I need my sister to see the whole thing and approve the budget because we are splitting the $500 cost down the middle but she is in Chicago and I am over here in Seattle. I am losing my mind trying to figure out how to just send the contents to her.

So I was thinking okay just send her my login but then I remembered my credit card is saved and honestly she is a bit of a spender haha so that is a hard no. My logic was maybe there is a simple share button like on a YouTube video or something? Nope. Nothing. I did some digging online and saw people mentioning this Share-A-Cart browser extension for Chrome but I am usually shopping on my phone while I am on the bus or at work and I am also kinda wary of giving a random third-party plugin access to my whole shopping history anyway. It feels a bit sketchy right?

Then I read that I should use the Wish List feature but man that is so tedious. I have to go into every single item and click add to list then go back and delete it from my cart then send the list link then she has to go through and add them all back to her own cart? It feels like I am doing busy work for a computer. It is super frustrating because we need to get this stuff ordered by Friday so it arrives in time for the party next weekend. I also looked into the Amazon Household thing but we dont live together and I dont want to mess with my Prime settings or link our bank accounts just for one party order. Is there a hidden link or a trick I am missing? I just want her to click something, see the list, and tell me if she thinks the gold balloons look tacky or not. If I have to copy and paste 45 individual product links into a text message I think I might actually scream...

Best PSU for an RTX 4090 and i9-14900K build?

qpwhepmiul — Thu, 09 Apr 2026 09:15:20 +0000

I'm finally building my dream gaming rig next month but I have no idea where to start with the power box part... my logic was just buy the biggest number but now I'm scared I'll get the wrong wires for the 4090. Is a 1000w unit okay or is that gonna blow up the i9-14900k?

What is the best budget AMD CPU for a home office build?

zpougifnns — Thu, 09 Apr 2026 03:15:39 +0000

So I am finally putting together a dedicated home office rig because my old laptop is literally dying lol and I am so stoked to actually have a real desk setup! I am mostly doing heavy multitasking with spreadsheets and video calls all day. I am torn between the Ryzen 5 5600G and the Ryzen 5 5500. The 5600G is like $125 and has the built in graphics which would be so easy but then I saw the 5500 is way cheaper but I'd need a separate card. I have about $150 max for the CPU and I want to order everything by Tuesday. Which one makes more sense for just a fast office experience?

Are there any wishlist sites that track price drops for gifts?

michaelwashington331 — Thu, 09 Apr 2026 01:15:44 +0000

is there a website where I can make a list of things I want and it actually tells me when they go on sale? I am so lost with this stuff lol. I am trying to get my sisters birthday presents together for next month and my budget is only like 150 dollars so I really need to find some good deals if possible. I keep hearing about price trackers but I have no idea where to even start looking or if they even work with lists. Is there something super simple for someone who isnt great with tech? I just want to put items from different stores in one spot and get a ping if the price goes down...

Can I collaborate on a Walmart grocery cart with my spouse?

zqvpwmpeqt — Wed, 08 Apr 2026 21:17:01 +0000

So Ive been using Walmart+ for like three years now and honestly its usually pretty seamless for my weekly runs. I know my way around the app and the whole checkout flow pretty well but I hit a weird wall today. We are hosting a massive family reunion next weekend here in suburban Ohio and the grocery list is getting out of hand—probably looking at a $300-$400 haul just for the snacks and grill stuff.

I tried to have my husband log into my account on his phone so we could both just add things as we thought of them throughout the day but its acting super glitchy. Like Ill add a 24-pack of burgers and then he refreshes his screen and its not there or it doubles the count randomly. Its like the session isnt syncing properly across two devices even though its the same login and I dont want to accidentally order six gallons of milk. I thought maybe there was a specific collaborative cart feature or a way to share the list that Im just totally missing?

I really dont want to have to copy-paste a notes app list into the search bar fifty times right before the delivery cutoff on Friday night. Is there an actual way to have two people building the same cart in real-time without it bugging out or do we just have to pass one phone back and forth like its 2010?

Which AMD processor is recommended for professional video editing tasks?

fmzmziqyls — Wed, 08 Apr 2026 21:15:47 +0000

So Ive been an Intel guy basically forever mostly because of quicksync and how stable it felt but I'm finally looking to jump ship to AMD for my next build. My current i9 rig is just choking on these 6K BRAW files from my new Blackmagic and the render times are honestly getting pathetic. I do heavy color grading in Resolve and some occasional After Effects stuff and everyone keeps telling me the multicore performance on the Ryzen 9 stuff is where its at now.

I got about 900 bucks set aside just for the processor and maybe the board since I'm near a Microcenter in Houston and want to get this built before my October wedding season kicks off. I was looking at the 7950X because of the core count but then I saw some stuff about the 3D V-cache models and now Im just confused if those are just for gamers or if they actually help with scrub speed in the timeline? Is it worth going for the Threadripper instead if I can find a deal or is that just overkill for a single-seat studio? Which AMD chip is actually the sweet spot for professional editing right now without burning a hole in my pocket...

Which browser extensions help find the best coupons for Walmart.com?

princerainbow — Wed, 08 Apr 2026 17:16:24 +0000

I'm trying to save some serious cash on a nursery setup I'm ordering from Walmart.com. Being in a rural area in Ohio, Walmart is basically my only option for fast shipping without paying a fortune, so I'm doing a massive haul next week. I've been looking at a few different extensions because I am tired of manually searching for codes that never actually work when I get to the checkout page.

I'm currently torn between Honey and Capital One Shopping, but I also see Rakuten mentioned everywhere. Here is what I am looking for:

actually works with Walmarts weird internal coupon system

doesnt slow down my browser because my laptop is already struggling

offers some kind of cash back or rewards points since Im spending about $600

simple UI because I dont want to deal with popups every five seconds

Honey seems to be the most popular but I've heard Capital One might have better exclusive deals for Walmart specifically. Then there is Rakuten which is great for cash back but I'm not sure if their actual coupon finding is any good compared to the others. I'm leaning toward Honey just because I've used it before but I really want the one that is going to save me the most money on this specific order before the baby arrives next month. Which one actually delivers the best results for Walmart specifically?

What is the best AMD CPU for high-end 1440p gaming?

xsyjooepdw — Wed, 08 Apr 2026 15:15:35 +0000

I'm building my first gaming PC and honestly I have no idea where to start with the parts. I got a 1440p monitor and now I need a brain for the computer. My friend said go with AMD but there are so many numbers. Is the 7600 fine or do I need that X3D one everyone talks about?

I have $400 for the CPU and I'm in Chicago hoping to build this next month. My logic was that a more expensive one lasts longer but maybe that's wrong? I just want my games to look smooth. Sorry if this is a dumb question I'm just super confused by the names...
