Netflix, Disney Plus, HBO Max: Save on Streaming With One Clever Trick
There are lots of great shows and movies across dozens of streaming services, but even subscribing to five of them could cost you more than $50 per month. (Just look at the latest pricing news for Disney Plus.) We’re going to show you a trick that can help save you money.
Think about this: You subscribe to one or more services like Netflix, Hulu, Disney Plus or HBO Max, stream until your favorite series ends its season run, then look for the next thing to watch. But is it worth keeping multiple subscriptions active if you’re not actively watching anything on them? I don’t think so.
Here’s a breakdown on our money-saving strategy and some tips on how to become a master at it.
For cord-cutters, leaving pricey cable packages behind in favor of streaming is a win for the wallet. Because we’re able to sign up for monthly plans, it’s easy to jump into a streaming service and jump out when prices increase or content dries up. According to Deloitte’s 2022 Media Trends report, the biggest reasons people cancel their streaming subscriptions are because of pricing and lack of fresh content. Media companies call this behavior “churn.” We’re calling this the rotation method.
The benefits? You save cash and avoid content droughts. Let’s say a hot title like House of the Dragon or The Real Housewives is set to premiere on a service. Note the total episode count and wait until they’re all available at once on a platform. You cancel HBO Max, Disney Plus or other service and then, once the episodes are available, resubscribe to catch up on your faves. My monthly guide on which streaming services to cancel can help you keep up.
The downside? You won’t have immediate access to every show you want to watch and will have to wait until the full season airs. And since many streaming services release new episodes weekly, rather than all at once, you might not be caught up at the same time as your friends. If you’re someone who prefers to watch episodes immediately when they drop, you may decide it’s worth it to have multiple subscriptions at a time. If you have patience, however, you can save some money.
The Latest iOS 16 Beta Update Brings Back This Much-Missed Feature to the iPhone
Apple’s release of iOS 16 this fall won’t only introduce new features, but also bring back an old one. You’ll once again be able to check out your iPhone’s battery percentage in the status bar — from anywhere on your device.
After the release of the iPhone X, which introduced the notch — the black bar at the top of your device that houses a speaker and camera — there wasn’t enough screen real estate left to keep the battery percentage up there, so Apple nixed the feature from iOS.
Sure, you can swipe down from the top right of your iPhone to view the exact percentage in the Control Center, but it just isn’t the same. You can’t glance at the battery percentage from within any apps or the home screen. And it’s nearly impossible to gauge the exact percentage from just the battery icon, which is not good if your iPhone is close to dying.
Thankfully, the latest developer beta (5th) and public beta (3rd) releases of iOS 16 reintroduce the battery percentage number back in the status bar, inside of the existing battery icon. Here’s what you need to know about the new feature.
And if you want to get your hands on iOS 16 right now, here’s how to download the third public beta, which features the new battery percentage feature. The fifth developer beta also has the feature, but we don’t quite recommend downloading it, unless you’re an Apple developer.
5G Mobile Services To Be Rolled in a Month, Says Centre
The country is likely to witness the roll out of the much awaited high speed 5G mobile services in about a month’s time. Talking about the Centre’s initiatives to address the issues concerning digital divide, the minister said that the steps include taking optical fibers to all 6 lakh villages of the country, and also cover all these villages with 4G mobile communications.”In about a month, 5G mobile services will roll out in the country, which will have multiplier effects on the development of all sectors. A 6G Technology Innovations Group, has also been set up, which is working towards the development of indigenous 6G stack,” said Devusinh Chauhan, Minister of State for Communications, while addressing the inaugural event of International Telecommunication Union’s Regional Standardisation Forum (RSF) for Asia and Oceania region on Monday.
He said that the government is promoting the indigenously designed, developed and manufactured advanced telecom technology, and as a result, India today has a strong home-grown 5G mobile communications ecosystem.
“By the end of this year, we are likely to see indigenously developed, and manufactured 5G stack, getting deployed, in rolling out 5G network in India. Our engineers have developed a set of 5G standards, which will facilitate the spread of the 5G network in rural areas,” he said.
Yes, Your Pet Deserves Its Own Music Playlist. Here’s Where to Find Them
After spending nearly two years following quarantine rules, pet parentsmay have noticed hints of extra clinginess with your pawed — or feathered — friends. It’s not uncommon for them to follow you everywhere around the house, sleep in your bed or stare at you out of love. But now that we’re leaving the house for work, errands, vacation and other activities, separation anxiety may be kicking in. Music may be the remedy they need.
Besides being left home alone, pets are often in other situations where relaxing sounds could help. They may have trouble coping with fireworks, riding in the car, thunderstorms, illness, trips to the vet or grooming sessions. And some animals may just be a bit hyperactive at times.
While it’s fairly known that classical music can soothe a savage breast, it’s not the only soundtrack that works. A 2017 study conducted by the University of Glasgow and Scottish SPCA highlighted how kenneled dogs’ stress levels drop when they listen to reggae or soft rock. Over the years, other studies have examined how music affects boredom, stress and emotional responses in felines, dogs, pigs and other animals. Whether you have a pet puppy, cat, pig, parakeet or iguana, why not set them up with their own music streaming playlist? These apps will turn little Bella or Duke into relaxed — or party-ready — musical savants.
Spotify’s Pet Playlists launched in 2020, but have you taken advantage of this feature yet? The lists are curated based on your pet’s personality and your personal music tastes. Choose your animal type, then share your pet’s name and Spotify walks you through a series of questions so its algorithm can tailor a custom listening experience with music pulled from your own streaming habits.
You can also stream its This is Pets Music playlist — which has 50 tracks — or press play on Pets Music Radio. Each song is geared toward helping animals relax. Additionally, there are full albums devoted to the genre, and all you need to do is search for something like “puppy music” or “bird music” under albums and add them to your library. Of course, you can always handpick songs for your pet according to their temperament, needs or species. We’re not sure if your pet snake would appreciate Nicki Minaj’s Anaconda, however.
YouTube is home to millions of hours of free content, and when it comes to streaming music for your cat or dog, there are plenty of options. Tune in for a 24-hour livestream from a channel like Relax My Dog, which plays music along with a video to help your pup calm down — or stay entertained. If you prefer to skip the livestream, this channel also features soothing music videos that run anywhere from eight to 15 hours, or you can choose one of its themed playlists. And there’s a sister channel called Relax My Cat, not to be confused with the uber-popular video game, Stray.
You’ll also find other YouTube pet music channels such as PetTunes or Calm Your Cat, and a few that cater to rabbits, hamsters and even ferrets. But you can also go the classical music route and play hours of songs from Beethoven, Mozart, Chopin or Bach. After you dig around YouTube to find your selections, you can always create special playlists for your pets, or stream music on your TV, iPhone, iPad or Android.
Amazon Music offers curated playlists with music that eases your dog or cat into a chill state. You can check out the Calming Music for Dogs playlist, a nearly three-hour session that’s compiled by Amazon staff. The company’s music division prepared a seven-hour collection titled “Classical for Pets” for its playlist lineup.
Outside of Amazon Music’s own roster, there are also songs, albums and artists that fall squarely into the pet music category. Shape your own playlist. Comb through tunes from Pet Care Club or Pet Music Academy that feature bells, pianos and sounds of nature for pooches, kitties, birds and more. Or tap into white noise or pink noise if it works better for your dog or cat. If you search Amazon Music by typing in terms like “dog anxiety” or “pet relaxation,” an abundance of songs and albums will pop up for you to draw from for a special playlist. You can also take a shortcut by using voice commands with an Alexa-enabled device like Echo to tee up playlists for your pet.
Like Spotify and Amazon Music, Apple Music has full albums that you can add to your playlists from artists such as Pet Music Worldand Pet Therapy. Most of the pet-centric music on the service is geared toward either cats or dogs, but if you want to lean toward genres like classical, ambient music, Hz frequency or jazz, it’s all available on the platform.
Apple Music also has white noise and animal reiki selections to choose from to help your pet feel blissed out. Make your playlists stand apart by naming them after your furbaby or according to your pet’s mood, character or need (like sleep).
