January 15, 2019 at 10:23 AM We all knew it was bound to happen sooner or later, but for the first time since 2017, Netflix is bumping the cost of all its plans. The price increase will raise prices by 13-18%.
The current base plan, which is $8, will jump to $9. The $11 middle-tier will be $13, while the high-end $14 plan will move to $16. Again, this should come as a surprise to no one—as the company produces more original content, it’s spending more and more money. At least the majority of its original content is really ...

The question of the month seems to be, “Are you watching the Marie Kondo show?” Although most of the people who have asked me don’t quite get the name right. They call it the tidying show, the Netflix organizing series, or my favorite, the Kondo-ing thing.
My answer is, “Yes!”

11h ago ( January 16, 2019 at 3:40 PM ) In the upcoming release of Windows 10, codenamed 19H1, Cortana and the search bar are breaking up and moving into separate houses. Unfortunately, the search bar won custody of Bing. Windows 10 19H1 is expected for release around April 2019.
The separation was announced by Microsoft in a blog post unveiling Windows Insider build 18317.

January 15, 2019 at 2:00 PM To keep all your cables, chargers, SD cards, batteries, and assorted extras from getting lost in the bottom of your bag, you need some sort of system to keep them organized. Let’s look at our favorites.
Over the last few years, I’ve noticed a kind of cable creep happen to me. I used to be able to travel with my Nokia charger and that was about it. Now, it’s not surprising to see someone lugging around a plethora of USB cables, three charging bricks, an external battery pack, a computer charger,...

16h ago ( January 16, 2019 at 10:24 AM ) If you’re buying a used camera or lens, it’s a good idea to give it a thorough going over to make sure everything works before handing over your cold, hard cash. Here’s what to check for.
Checking That a Camera Works
For all their technical complexity, there’s not a huge amount that can go wrong with a digital camera: if it works, it works; if it doesn’t work, it doesn’t work. There’s not much middle ground. With that said, here’s what to do to check a camera out.

21h ago ( January 16, 2019 at 5:02 AM ) Throwing
Hand-forming a mass of soft plastic clay on a rotating wheel head is called throwing, and the technique can be traced back beyond 2000bc. Although both the technique and potters’ wheels have been refined over the years, the essential methods remain unaltered.
No other forming technique tests clay as much as throwing, so take particular care when preparing clay. It must be soft, pliable and sensitive enough to be shaped quickly, but firm enough to retain its shape when wet.

Companies like Dropbox offer some extensive solutions for restoring deleted files for months after their deletion, and while iCloud comes close to that, it falls short in many ways.
