How to remove the pesky 'Continue Watching' prompt on Netflix
Best answer: Yes. If you're not actively engaging with Netflix's video player, the easiest way to remove the prompt is to turn off autoplay. If you don't want to turn autoplay off, many browser extensions also remove the prompt.Yes, I'm still watching: Netflix (From $9/month at Netflix)Why you get the promptIf you've been subscribing to Netflix for a reasonable amount of time, you'll notice that the streaming platform gives the prompt, "Are you still watching...?" if you've watched two episodes of a TV show in a row without using any video player controls.Netflix has previously revealed that it asks this question to prevent users from wasting bandwidth on a show they're not watching and to prevent users from losing their place in an episode. While you can choose to dismiss the message each time it pops up, that can get annoying. Thankfully, you have other options for streaming things more smoothly on Netflix.Autoplay no moreThe easiest solution for removing the "Continu...

Do you use third-party launchers on Pixel phones?
Chatting with the AC forums.Third-party launchers are fantastic tools. Whether you want to mess around with custom icon packs, home screen grid sizes, or anything else in between, they typically allow for much greater control compared to the stock launcher devices ship with.That said, first-party launchers have gotten much better over the years. From Google's Pixel phones to Samsung handsets running One UI, lots of progress has been made on that front.Some of our AC forum members recently started talking about some of the quirks when using a third-party launcher with Pixel phones these days, saying: Nodnerb 01-08-2021 05:39 PM “ Anyone else using Nova notice whenever you close an app there is a second where your homescreen is blank before Nova refreshes the icons etc?

Google's as much to blame for lousy Android update policies as phone makers
Google could fix this if it really wanted to.The debate around Android updates is far from a new one. Everyone likes getting updates, every phone would benefit from years of guaranteed support, and most companies still drop the ball in this regard in one way or another. It's no secret that there's a lot of work to be done on this front, but as we begin 2021, the ugly face of lacking software support is rearing its head in a particularly nasty way.In one corner, we have Motorola's latest batch of budget Android phones — the Moto G Play, Moto G Power, Moto G Stylus, and Motorola One 5G Ace. All of them ship with Android 10 out of the box and are promised just one OS update to Android 11. Motorola's long-held this single update policy for its budget devices, but it feels especially damning this year seeing as how the one update is being used to get the phones off of now-outdated software.We see an identical situation with OnePlus's foray into the cheap Android niche with the One...

Review: OnePlus Band is just not worth your time (or money)
OnePlus' first wearable has a lot of features, but it is nowhere as polished as Xiaomi's offering in this segment.OnePlus makes some of the best Android phones you can buy today.

OnePlus followed the Q1 with the U1 and budget-focused Y1 series, and it has carved out a niche for itself in India in this category.In 2021, OnePlus is making its foray into the wearable segment.

Motorola's phone strategy is nonsensical but it'll still come out a winner
How weird is it when the best phone from Motorola is one that was released last year?Android enthusiasts have a long and storied love/hate affair with Motorola. In the beginning, Motorola released very underpowered phones with convoluted changes to Android (remember MotoBLUR?) that morphed the company into what looked like a Verizon Wireless subsidiary in the United States.Then Google swept in and bought the important bits that make up a Motorola phone and we loved the company. Phones like the Moto X looked great, had great hardware (for the time), and were quick to get both important and feature updates because Google was basically in control. That's the exact recipe for success if you want to cater to the hardcore Android crowd, and it worked.Apparently, Google didn't love owning the Moto brand as much as we loved Google owning the Moto brand, though. Welcome to the Lenovo era, sometimes known as Motonovo or Lenoverola. Now, we really don't know what to think because Moto mak...

How to watch Ravens vs. Titans NFL Wild Card live stream
The Titans and Ravens are fairly evenly matched on paper. Both even have solid 11-5 records going into this Sunday's game. The question is whether the actual game will playout as evenly matched as it seems like it might. Luckily, there are past games this season between the two to get a sense of what might happen.Baltimore is the overall favorite with a slight advantage, but look at the last two times the Titans have met the Ravens it would probably prove savvy to pick the Titans. In last year's playoff game between the two Tennessee shocked everyone with the win.

Clean up your mess with a Yeedi robot vacuum cleaner for as little as $90
One of Amazon's daily deals includes a selection of Yeedi robot vacuum cleaners all on sale for low prices. The three models range from $89.99 to $189.99. The K600 is the least expensive option and it normally sells for as much as $150. Even when it does go on sale it only drops to $100. Today's drop to $90 matches a low it has only hit twice before, with both sales only lasting for a day. This one is much the same as these prices are set to expire by tomorrow.The K600 is the most basic robot vacuum discounted in this sale and it's still loaded with pretty good features. For one thing it uses an advanced brushless motor that runs up to 20,000 rpm and generates suction as powerful as 1500Pa. Use the Turbo Mode, activated with the double click of the auto button, to get some extra strength in there and pick up the dirt that's dug down deep.You also don't have to worry about the robot vacuum disturbing you while it works since it is designed to be super quiet, not much louder than a...
Is the Galaxy S21 doomed by high prices and a January launch?
The first month of the year, during a pandemic, isn't a great time to be launching some of the year's most expensive phones.Will a combination of bad launch timing and excessive pricing sink the Samsung Galaxy S21 series before it ever gets started? That was among my first thoughts when European pricing for the three S21 phones leaked this past week — showing that, despite rumors that the best Android phones of 2021 could be cheaper, we're once again looking at some pretty pricey Galaxies.Here's how the pricing reportedly breaks down:Samsung Galaxy S21 128GB: €849Samsung Galaxy S21+ 128GB: €1,049Samsung Galaxy S21+ 256GB: €1,099Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra 128GB: €1,399 Even in a normal January, these prices would be a tough sell.These are European prices, so tax should be included. Also, because the dollar-euro exchange rate is pretty close to the sales tax rate in most EU countries (around 1:1.22 and 20% respectively), you can probably just change the curren...
How to watch Bucs vs Washington live stream online anywhere
For the 2021 NFL Wildcard weekend, we have several great games, but one of the most surprising could be the Bucs vs Washington. We say that because Washington and its defense is playing at a high level and could give Tom Brady a run for his money. Here's how to watch the game live from anywhere.Honestly, the Buccaneers are probably the last team the Washington Football team wanted to face. They barely made wildcard weekend, have an iffy (7-9) record, but have won 5 of its last 7 games. Basically, they're really hot right now, confident, and aren't afraid to play anyone. Ever since they beat the previously undefeated Steelers, they've looked like a completely different team. Still, no one wants to face Tom Brady in the playoffs, no one.On the flip side, we have Tom Brady and the Buccaneers. They have an (11-5) record, are an 8-point favorite, and have also won 5 of the last 7 games. Basically, these two teams have played at a similar level in the second half of the year, which mak...

What is the best 5G network in 2021?
The best 5G network will have a good balance of speed and coverage with room to grow and add capacity as 5G adoption increases. 5G connectivity is now available to millions of people in the U.S. thanks to improved support from phone makers and sub-6 5G networks. AT&T, T-Mobile, and Verizon all now offer 5G coverage with sub-6 and mmWave. However, T-Mobile has the best overall 5G network thanks to its wide sub-6 at both 600MHz and 2.5GHz coverage with room to grow with mmWave spectrum.Best Overall: T-MobileT-Mobile's 5G network covers millions of people in the U.S. and if you live in an urban or suburban area, there's a good chance you have coverage. This is mostly thanks to T-Mobile's low-band 600Mhz spectrum, which offers excellent coverage and speeds comparable to fast LTE. T-Mobile is also continuing to improve its 5G network with Sprint's mid-band 2.5GHz spectrum in addition to its own mmWave spectrum.Millimeter Wave, or mmWave spectrum, refers to frequencies in exces...

Here's how to watch the Rams vs Seahawks Wild Card game online
The Los Angeles Rams have had a respectable season, most of the time the team to be feared, but going into this wildcard weekend, they are on the other end of the stick. The Rams will have to battle back Russell Wilson and the Seahawks to advance to the next stage.Making things tougher for the Rams is the fact that QB Jared Goff has a thumb injury that might keep him from performing at 100%. It's unclear whether backup quarterback John Wolford will make an appearance in the game or possibly even start for Goff. While Wolford played well during his single start this season, it is just a single instance and the experience is not there.While past performance is no guarantee for future games, it is at least an indicator. So the stat that Seattle has never lost a home playoff game under head coach Pete Carroll does not mean they won't lose here, but it's a solid track record to build on moving forward. Seattle should have all its starters ready to go.Los Angeles Rams vs. Seattle Sea...

AMD is about to upend the Chromebook market just like it did for PCs
Acer is doing Ryzen right with its new Chromebook Spin 514.It's the middle of the afternoon on a Friday and I'm typing this out on my back deck using a Chromebook. I love the darn things and any time I can get away from a desk during the workday I try to do it, and always with a Chromebook in tow. To me, a really well-built mid-range Chromebook with plenty of power and plenty of storage is just right. No one Chromebook is perfect for everyone.Of course, the best Chromebook for me might not be the best Chromebook for you. But if you're like me and want a modestly priced Chromebook that outperforms and out delivers, I think Acer has just what you're looking for in 2021 with the new Chromebook Spin 514.It's not sleek and light as a feather. Not all of them have a backlit keyboard, nor do any have a glass-covered trackpad. But what it does have makes up for it — a beautiful 14-inch display, a very tough build of anodized aluminum, the best hinge system you'll find on any mo...
