YouTube Music has reportedly started nudging its free listeners toward a paid subscription by, you guessed it, limiting access to full song lyrics. Free users seemed to be capped at five complete song lyrics per month, post which, only the first few lines of a song’s lyrics are visible, while the rest are blurred. Full access, as far as I can tell, is only available if you cough up for the YouTube Music Premium ($10.99 per month) or YouTube Premium ($13.99 per month) subscriptions. Dear @youtubemusic,I recently noticed that the lyrics feature is now only available for Premium users. This…

In October, Oura announced a simple but game-changing accessory: a portable charging case. It took the smart ring company long enough, especially since battery life is a bone Oura Ring users have been picking with the wellness giant for years. The Oura Ring 4 promises up to 5-8 days of power, but all Oura Rings are famous for their quick battery degradation. Before I had a fourth-gen ring, I wore a third-gen for two years, which I’d have to charge every 48 hours. It made traveling a pain if your trip was any longer than a three-day excursion. But even…

Getty / Don Arnold / WireImage For years, Bitcoin evangelists have grasped at straws trying to explain what their digital currency is actually good for. Is it a hedge against inflation, or maybe a decentralized alternative to corrupt banking systems? Perhaps it’s the future of digital commerce? As it turns out, none of those really stuck, as extreme price swings and fees make the crypto a bad fit for most practical commercial purposes. The horrifying abduction of Nancy Guthrie, however, highlights perhaps the one persistent utility Bitcoin has been able to maintain: its place as the de facto global currency…

Although the Marvel Cinematic Universe has run into some problems lately, it still turns out solid movies and TV shows now and again. Case in point: Wonder Man, a series about a struggling actor named Simon Williams who just so happens to have ionic superpowers (Yahya Abdul-Mateen II) went over really well when it dropped on Disney+ in late January. There’s no official word on whether Wonder Man will have a second season, although it’s definitely possible; in the MCU, nothing ever really ends. While fans wait for news, there are a lot of other shows out there that may…

Various analysis of the cost of AI Data Centers in space describe crossover points for AI data centers in space as $500/kg in launch or $250/kg in launch. The difference in costs for launch that SpaceX charges itself versus clients and SpaceX being the clear leader in mass production of cost efficient satellites gives SpaceX a 3-4X cost advantage versus all competitors for AI in space. SpaceX will be able to make affordable Space AI data centers at massive scale by mid-2028 while it will take others til around 2035. SpaceX Falcon 9 marginal costs are about $10 million per…

I’ve been reviewing monitors for a long time, and I think we may be officially in the era of 4K monitors being standard or near-standard, given how popular they are now. It’s hard to find monitors that aren’t 4K these days; however, that also means companies have been chasing the 4K badge for a while now, and in that race, some have lost focus on color accuracy.For business users…

Musicboard, an app for music discovery and recommendations, has been struggling, according to its users. Over the past several months, users said the app experienced outages, the website went offline, and the Android app disappeared from the Play Store. This has concerned its devoted, if small, user base. (The app has been downloaded around 462,000 times to date, according to market intelligence provider Appfigures.) On Reddit, users have been recommending alternatives and offering each other support as they wait for any update. While it’s not surprising for an app to shut down, when there’s still an active user base, apps…
