Electronics gadgets: Amazon Music Just Got Way More Enticing

November 2, 2022

November 2, 2022. National Stress Awareness Day. We've hit the middle of the week, which seems like a good time for all of us to check in with ourselves and figure out what's stressing us out. Whatever it is, we think we can all handle it.

⏰ Today's Big Stories... in 30 Seconds

Today We Watched, Read, and Listened to (so you don't have to):

377 articles, 10 podcasts, 11 press releases, 393 tweets, and 23 YouTube videos

1. Amazon Music Gets 98 Million More Songs, More Ad-Free Podcasts

If you use Amazon Music or have been thinking of signing up, you'll now have a much bigger library to enjoy. The service is getting a significant expansion that brings its two million songs list up to 100 million, along with more podcasts. The catch? You need to be a Prime member, but who isn't one these days?

2. Want Internet in Your RV While Traveling? Starlink's Got You

Satellite Internet provider Starlink now supports vehicles, but not in the way you think. This new $135/month plan isn't for cars or SUVs, but is largely aimed at RVs. And don't try to sneak one past them, either, as Starlink must approve your vehicle before proceeding with installation. Sorry, boat owners.

3. YouTube Adds Showtime, Starz, and More Primetime Networks

As if YouTube didn't have enough, the platform is now adding shows and movies from Showtime, Starz, AMC+, Paramount+, and more to its roster. It's similar to how you can add channels to your Prime Video or Hulu account, and hopefully it'll be just as smooth to keep up with the competition.

Phone companies have been advertising the benefits of 5G for years, but the technology may not be living up to its potential in everyday use. Sascha Brodsky has the full story.

🎱 By the Numbers

Music streaming favors the young

Data: IFPI.org

Everyone streams music, but based on the info above from IFPI.org, those between the ages of 16 and 34 stream music more than everyone else. Why? Who knows! Maybe these are just the groups who owns less physical media? Show a CD to a teenager and see if they know what it is.

🤓 Nerd Out

"I'm waiting for the robot that loves golf." —Bob Schulties, Senior Editor

Robotics now has its eyes set on soccer, as researchers from the University of California, Berkeley are in the midst of teaching a robot how to be a goalie. Surely, it can't be that good at it, right? Right? (Share on Twitter)

💎 You Know You Want It

Load faster than ever

Hard drives? Boring. Solid state drives? Great. NVMe SSDs? Even better, which is why we think you should put one in your PC asap (provided there's a slot for it). Samsung's 980 PRO is a good one to start with, especially if you intend to play a lot of games. Get ready for load times to disappear!

🚀 Facing the Future

Mobile gaming isn't just about phones

You know what cars needed? More distractions. This time it'll involve video games, as companies work out ways to add more of them to future cars. We can't wait to have to download updates for our car's games after startup.
