%name Articles of Interest by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

When it rains it pours, and right now the downpour is absolutely torrential when it comes to movies and TV shows on TV and streaming services. Between Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime Video, Disney+, Apple TV+, and traditional TV, there simply aren’t enough hours in the day or days in the week to cram it all in. On top of that, there are exciting new streaming services that are starting to sprout up that take a different approach to streaming. For example, there’s an awesome new service that lets you stream movies and TV shows on demand without paying a dime, and another new streamer we told you about just yesterday provides live streaming TV channels for free!

If you try to find great content to watch on your own, you’ll never last. There’s just too much to sift through these days and it quickly gets overwhelming, leaving many people frustrated. Why do you think Friends was so popular for so long on Netflix? Tons of people probably got so tired of looking for new movies and shows to watch that they just gave up and went with a popular classic instead. Luckily, there are some very useful tools out there to help you decide what to stream or watch on TV, so you can skip the part where you search and agonize for half an hour and go straight to binge-watching great new content.

%name Articles of Interest by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

Apple’s AirPods Pro have been the hottest headphones we’ve been covering latest thanks to a deal on Amazon that slashed them back down to Black Friday’s all-time low price. Well, the bad news is that the deal is now done and Apple’s noise cancelling earbuds are back up to $249 now. But the good news is there are a bunch of new deals on AirPods right now, including one that offers the lowest price we’ve ever seen!

First-generation and second-generation AirPods are practically the same. The biggest difference between them is the ability to use “Hey Siri” on the second-gen model. If you don’t care about Hey Siri, you can save a ton of cash by picking up a pair of renewed first-gen Apple AirPods while they’re in stock on Amazon for just $111.99! They’re guaranteed by Amazon so if you don’t like anything about them, you have a full 90 days to return them for a full refund.

You can also score a $30 discount on AirPods 2 with Wireless Charging Case, which means you’ll only pay $169 if you grab them today. That’s just $10 more than Apple charges for the base model without the wireless charging case!

Samsung has grossly exaggerated the fix for one of the Galaxy Fold’s biggest flaws

%name Articles of Interest by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

“We pushed mobile engineering to its limits to create,” the Galaxy Z Flip said Samsung’s head of UK product marketing Rebecca Hirst on stage last week during the Z Flip and S20 launch event. “And none of it would have been possible without our new one-of-a-kind, hideaway hinge,” she continued as the video behind her showed the hinge in action. “The hinge is the backbone of any folding phone. It quite literally holds the whole thing together, and it also prevents particles like dust and sand from getting into the phone and damaging the display,” the exec continued, as the animation shifted to a video showing Samsung’s innovative brush that should prevent said particles from getting inside the phone. “That’s because folding phones have a tiny gap between the hinge and the device,” Hirst continued, which was an interesting thing to remark given that it perfectly described one of the Galaxy Fold’s main problems. “We created a layer of fibers inside that tiny gap to keep those particles out,” she said. “This secure fiber shield protects your phone, so you can make the most of this revolutionary technology.” Unless it doesn’t really hold dust out, and this is just a gross exaggeration of the Flip’s ability to prevent dust ingress.

Motorola responds to Razr’s peeling display without really explaining anything at all

%name Articles of Interest by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

You should have exactly zero reasons to buy the Motorola Razr now that the Galaxy Z Flip is out. Samsung has a cheaper, faster, more durable foldable clamshell than Motorola, and while the Flip is not the perfect foldable, it’s still a much reasonable choice than the Razr. If you’re still interested in the Razr over the Flip, then you should be aware of Motorola’s most recent update on the phone, which followed an unusual accident. A reviewer’s Razr’s display started peeling at the hinge, a phenomenon that rendered the display under the peeled-off area useless. Motorola has addressed the matter, saying the screen shouldn’t peel under normal usage conditions.

BGR has partnered with The Points Guy for our coverage of credit card products. BGR and The Points Guy may receive a commission from card issuers.

Please note: the offers mentioned below are subject to change at any time and some may no longer be available.

  • Southwest’s business credit card has an elevated sign-up bonus.
  • If you sign up now for the card, you can earn up to 100,000 Southwest Rapid Rewards points.
  • Other perks include upgraded boardings and anniversary bonus points.

Relying on plastic is pretty much a way of life for businesses that need to charge expenses, often big expenses, on a regular basis, and the same way individual consumers have a dizzying array of personal cards to choose from, many issuers likewise offer variants of their card products tailored specifically to businesspeople. They all feature varying incentives, perks, and bonus rewards, and depending on your personal circumstances there are some it makes sense to take a closer look at and others to ignore altogether. For example, if you’re a business owner who also regularly flies Southwest, it might be time to consider the budget airline’s Southwest Rapid Rewards Performance Business Credit Card, if you haven’t already, given that it’s running a pretty generous elevated welcome offer right now.

Dinosaur print mystery finally solved after half century

Finding dinosaur footprints can be exciting for any scientist. Finding them in a unique place just adds to the fun, but when a set of fossilized footprints was spotted on the ceiling of a cave in Australia, it sparked a decades-long mystery that was only just recently solved.

As HeritageDaily reports, the fossilized footprints were discovered on the ceiling of a cave near the town of Mount Morgan. It’s a dinosaur footprint fossil hot spot, but when some of the tracks seemed to indicate dinosaurs walking upside down, researchers were left shaking their heads and searching for answers.

While it may seem a bit trite to say that the Apple Watch saves lives, that’s exactly what Apple’s increasingly popular wearable does. Over the past few years, we’ve seen a number of stories involving the device’s heart rate monitor alerting users to potentially life-threatening conditions.

Here’s why foldable phone displays can be scratched so easily

%name Articles of Interest by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

As exciting as foldable devices might be, the hard truth right now is that smartphone makers are in no position to manufacture glass that can bend over and over without breaking. The Galaxy Fold, Huawei Mate X, Motorola Razr, and Galaxy Z Flip feature fragile screens that break easier than traditional smartphone displays.

The Z Flip is causing a stir, as it happens to be the world’s only foldable phone to feature a foldable screen made of glass rather than a transparent polymer. Yet, durability tests suggest that Samsung may have been generous with its Ultra Thin Glass (UTG) claims. It turns out that the Galaxy Z Flip does have a glass screen, but that display is covered by a plastic film that’s meant to protect the glass. And such contraptions won’t go away anytime soon.
