I'm sure Amazon Prime shipping is great, but as someone who's never had it, whenever I get something with free shipping (and I hardly ever make a purchase without it), it always comes within a few days anyway and often beats the timeline I am given.

All these streaming services sound great, but I can’t “cut the cord” until faster internet comes to our neck of the woods.

I used quotes because we technically have no cord to cut (DirecTV which I don’t recommend unless you have no other choice.)

My buddy had a huge DVD/Blu Ray collection that he uploaded to his plex account. You can stream their stuff or upload your own library from your media.

Disney, in its infinite benevolence, is offering customers a chance to put a more specific price on the precious time remaining in their lives in the coming months, announcing that it’s raising the cost for it subscription streaming service Disney+ this December—while also introducing an ad-supported tier operating at the current price of $7.99 a month.

Dubbed Disney+ Basic—as in, “we’re basically going to get more revenue out of you here one way or the other”—the ad-supported plan would reportedly launch with a requirement of making users consume four minutes of ad time per hour of content watched. (Initially in half-minute or minute-long slots, although it sounds like they have some ambitious plans for expanding their offerings out.) Meanwhile, if you’d like to stay out of ad-land, you’ll need to up your monthly price to $10.99 a month, which will knock you up into Disney+ Premium.

Look, Star Wars 25 isn't going to pay for itself.

Wait... Yes it is. It absolutely is. My Star Wars branded Greedo barometer told me.
