A desk for life?

There’s no Singles’ Day discount, but here are some products worthy of singles

Translation: Veronica Bielawski
If you were hoping to do some Singles’ Day bargain hunting here on 11 November – sorry to disappoint, I don’t have any discounts for you. But I do have a few intriguing single-worthy products instead.
Go ahead and let out your anger and rage in the comments below. If you need some inspiration to kickstart your typing, try: «Why even publish an article to begin with if there are no discounts?!» Alternatively: «What a load of bull! We demand better prices!1!!!11!!»
1. Bye-bye, cable clutter
Ever thought your cable clutter might be the cause of your unwitting singletude? If so, I’m just letting you know that someone here has left the cable channel by Steffen a five-star rating. Cover your cables, and perhaps you’ll find someone who’ll get nice and comfortable in your home . . .
2. Sound over silence
Nord’s single pedal allows you to get maximum music out of your keyboard. With its help, you can – literally – put on the act that you are, in fact, not alone. And make sure the entire neighbourhood knows it.
3. The next big lonesome lyricist
4. Laptop lock
I resent finding this product. Although I briefly researched what in the world is up with these lock systems, I still frankly don’t get it. And I’ve given up trying to. Why should I? But if you’re interested in a detailed review of the various anti-notebook-theft systems out there, please drop us a comment. I’d be more than happy to pass on that mission to one of my colleagues in the editorial team.
5. Have Microsoft all to yourself
One computer, one user – that seems to be the principle of this Office 365 licence from Microsoft. Perfect for singletons. But if you look at the fine print, you’ll be happy to learn that you can, in fact, use this licence on a tablet in addition to the one Mac or PC. How generous of you, Microsoft!
6. Single or double floof?
Aw, aren’t these fluffy little thangs adorable? This collar mic pop shield comes in several colours. The fir green one ended up winning me over. Unfortunately, I don’t know if these plumed companions should be kept alone or in pairs. Should anyone know the answer – and it turn out to be «in pairs» – you’ll find those in our shop, too, prepackaged for your convenience.
7. A criminally good LED?
You’ll find discounts in the sale section
