I'm one of those longtime Netflix subscribers who pays for the streaming service via Apple's App Store. Too bad for me: Netflix has announced that it is eliminating this billing option, and the company has begun informing people that they'll have to start paying the streaming giant directly. As first reported first by The Streamable , this move affects people in the U.S. and Canada, as well as other territories. Even though I haven't received this email from Netflix yet, it's probably only a matter of time before it comes in and I'm forced to make the switch. Why Netflix is cutting off App Store billing For years now, large companies have had issues selling in-app purchases and subscriptions via Apple's App Store. This is because Apple takes a 30% commission from every in-app purchase you make via the App Store. If you've subscribed for over a year, Apple reduces its cut to 15%, but companies such as Netflix and Spotify are unwilling to pay even that. ...

If you've ever owned a dedicated e-reader with a grayscale e-ink screen (as opposed to a tablet with a backlit LCD screen), chances are good it was one of the many varieties of the Amazon Kindle . Barnes & Noble is still making Nooks, but few people buy them, and you have to have done your research to have even heard of wannabe Kindle killers from the likes of Kobo (a Canadian company owned by the Japanese retail giant Rakuten). But if you're going no farther than the latest iteration of Amazon's e-reader, you're missing out on some of the best devices on the market—even if they're from companies you've never heard of, like Onyx International, a Chinese tech company that's been making e-ink devices since 2011. I still remember the first time I saw someone reading an Onyx Boox tablet on the subway; my assumption was that it was a cheap knockoff (c'mon... Boox ?). I was wrong. Not only are companies like Kobo and Onyx regularly trumping Amazon when i...

There are certainly fewer viruses around targeting Macs—partly because it makes more sense for bad actors to target Windows, which has a significantly bigger user base—but macOS is certainly not immune to viruses . Don't think that just because you own an Apple computer, you don't have to worry about malware. Your Mac comes with some impressive security features built right in, including XProtect and Gatekeeper , but there's no harm in installing extra protection for extra peace of mind—the right antivirus tool is only going to improve your Mac's defenses, and some of the best anti-malware software developers out there offer packages for macOS. What's more, they often come with extras besides the virus-fighting capabilities, including web tracker blocking and junk file removal. Here we've picked out our current favorites, weighing up everything from the ease-of-use of the interface to the range of features. Malwarebytes for Mac ...

Modern technology has produced some cool cleaning gadgets that will get your bathroom sparkling fast—and with less work from you.  Tools for cleaning the bathroom floor Cleaning the bathroom floor is a pain because you have to scrunch down and scrub in a tiny little space.

A solid router is a key part of a reliable gaming setup, but with so many options to choose from, it can be hard to sort through the noise. Luckily, there are a few options that stand out above the rest. Why you should consider a gaming router But why do you need to purchase a gaming router? Surely, a regular wifi router will do the trick, right? Of course, the answer there is that, yeah, the regular router is going to be more than enough for most gaming needs. However, gaming routers often have high bandwidth support, and they often come with additional features that can help make your gaming experience better. These features can range from easier port forwarding functionality (which you'll need to get the best connection to game servers) to lag optimization settings that can help cut down on the number of bandwidth issues and jitters you might see during gameplay—a very important feature for those of us that like to play competitive games online. TP-Link Archer C5400X ...

Current job seekers have access to an unprecedented array of programs, platforms, and other online tools designed to make the tedious and time-consuming task of finding employment a little easier. Unfortunately, knowing how and when to use them isn't always straightforward. Take LinkedIn's "Open to Work" feature , for example. Starting in 2020 , the platform's users have been able to add a green frame to their profile photo reading "#OPENTOWORK," and are given the option of either making it visible to anyone who looks at their profile, or only to recruiters. In the years since, some big opinions have emerged about what is, at least appearance-wise, a relatively small aspect of a job-seeker's LinkedIn profile—including from career experts who encourage people to use it , and others who advise against it, claiming it makes people look desperate . Of course, it's more complicated than always embracing or avoiding the optional profile photo frame. ...

When it comes to the best noise-canceling earbuds , none do it better than the Bose QuietComfort Ultra , which you can get right now for $249 (originally $299). I can say this is the best price they've been after checking my usual price tracking tools .

The Bose QuietComfort Ultra earbuds are great at tuning out low and high frequencies alike. The included ear tip options make it easier to ensure a snug fit, which is crucial for noise canceling.

The active noise cancellation (ANC) technology is the same, but Bose added spatial audio (they call it immersive audio), which is a way of hearing the world around you with your earbuds on. They also added AptX Adaptive codec, so that yo...

Reducing energy costs is a top priority for homeowners these days—not to mention having an efficient and reliable home energy system. Home heating is often a high energy user, so having an efficient system for that can reduce your energy costs significantly. Imagine if you could combine efficient heating with power production. You can: it's called a micro combined heat and power (mCHP) generator. Where did mCHP generators come from? Originally designed for use in manufacturing, combined heat and power generators are single appliances that can generate power from propane at the same time as they generate heat and hot water. The system can be self-contained so that it doesn’t rely on electricity from the grid and can include solar and battery storage, making it resilient during power outages as well. A micro CHP or mCHP generator is the same idea, but scaled for individual homes. Micro CHP generators are extremely efficient A mCHP generator captures excess heat produced by i...

Solar energy is magic, really. You place a bulky panel in the sun and electricity is created from thin air, ready to power anything you need. It’s cheap, pays for itself in a relatively short period of time, and it’s absolutely renewable. Of course, the cost of installing a solar panel system at your home can be kind of terrifying—on average, it’ll cost you about $25,000 . A lot of that cost is labor and other materials, but the solar panels themselves aren’t exactly cheap, ranging in price from around $200 to $300 depending on wattage and the type of panel. Those prices might lead you to wonder if you can’t just make your own solar panels. The answer is, you sure can. If you’re moderately handy, have ever used a soldering iron, and understand basic electricity principles, you can definitely whip up your own solar panels. All the stuff you need can be ordered online or found at your local hardware store, and the process isn’t very diff...
