Which streaming services do you still find enjoyable?

In my house, we aren't afraid to swap from one streaming service to the next for a few months at a time. Sometimes, it's to save money, but other times, it's because we feel burnt out and haven't clicked on a particular streaming service for quite some time. Our most consistent streaming services are Disney+ and Hulu. Having a little one means Disney+ is probably going to be a staple for an extended period of time, but Hulu can't help but stick around. We'll occasionally find a series on Amazon Prime or Paramount+, but I can't tell you the last time we paid for Netflix. Are we missing out? Do you have a preferred streaming service that's always in your rotation?

Are you looking forward to the return of super-slim smartphones in 2025?

Over the past several weeks and months, rumors have been swirling of a super-slim smartphone renaissance set to take place next year. These devices will apparently ship with chassis that are significantly thinner than the average flagship handsets of today. It's unclear what sort of hardware sacrifices might need to be taken in order to achieve these slimmed-down form factors, but a downscale in camera optics and smaller battery capacities are all but certain. Initially, we heard rumors of an 'iPhone 17 Slim' or an 'iPhone 17 Air', which Apple will reportedly ship alongside the standard iPhone 17 lineup in fall 2025. More recently, we've been hearing reports of Samsung jumping on the bandwagon with a Galaxy S25 Slim, set to be released in the second quarter of 2025. It's now looking increasingly likely that a full-blown slim phone arms race is in the works for next year. If this sounds familiar, it's because we've seen this exact hardware race play out before. In the mid 2010s, hardw

Should Spotify let us customize more 'specific' Wrapped data insights?

Spotify wrapped season is upon us -- just a week ago, Spotify stopped collecting the data it's going to use to give us our "Wrapped." As someone who knows no bounds when it comes to genre, my Wrapped has never made it onto social media, no matter how cute or cool the pre-populated graphics Spotify makes for me are. Last year, the background music (so Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3) I play at work dominated my top song chart. Have I ever played that game? Nope.  To make matters more confusing, the following four songs were by Zach Bryan, Lindsey Stirling, The Band CAMINO, and John Summit. Sometimes, I want to join the droves of people that are posting their (somewhat) consistent music tastes to their social platforms. But, I wish I could get more narrow reports from Spotify -- such as "Kelsey's 2024 Country Wrapped" or even "Kelsey's 2024 Instrumental Wrapped." Comparing Bailey Zimmerman to Audiomachine isn't even comparing apples to oranges -- it's pitting zebras against dolphins. Do y
