Chatting with the AC forums.Following a long and dragged-out process, Google Play Music is finally no more. At a little under nine years old, Google's first attempt at a major music streaming service has since been replaced in its entirety by YouTube Music. As you might expect, this is a transition that has come with a lot of mixed feelings.YouTube Music was kind of a mess when it went through its major re-launch in 2018, but over two years later, it's seen countless improvements that have fleshed-out the service considerably. Even so, not everyone is thrilled about being forced to switch.Taking a look through the AC forums, here's what some of our members have to say about the whole situation: L0n3N1nja 11-02-2020 11:58 PM “ So knowing YouTube Music was going to replace Google Play I downloaded it and gave it a try a few months ago, didn't care for it but it worked.

The sale is part of Best Buy's deals of the day, but you can also find it price matched on Amazon if you prefer to shop from there. The price matches the non-touch version of Samsung's portable SSD so you're essentially getting the extra security for free in that way.

Lenovo won't be giving the 2021 Moto G Stylus much of a fighting chance.What you need to knowEvan Blass has received details of the Moto G Stylus for 2021.The specs point to an almost unchanged smartphone from the 2020 model.The smartphone is known internally by the codename "Minsk".When it comes to stylus-equipped smartphones, Samsung's Galaxy Note is usually first to come to mind. LG's Stylo series is fairly popular as a low-cost alternative, and Lenovo has joined the fun with its own Moto G Stylus (pictured above). Released earlier this year, the G Stylus was more of a low-cost contender to LG's Stylo offering than any reputable competition for Samsung. And while it may not have been among the best cheap smartphones out on the market right now, apparently Lenovo is gearing up for its sequel.Tipster Evan Blass shared some details on what will be the 2021 model Moto G Stylus (XT2115), although they don't point to any significant upgrades.

The Buccaneers and Saints sit within a few percentage points of each other atop the NFC South division. The Panthers and Falcons are well in the rear view mirror at this point so this head-to-head matchup could be a momentum shift in determining whether Brady and the Bucs pull ahead or if Brees and the Saints will keep things interesting for the remainder of the season.Wide receiver Antonio Brown is slated to be available for this week nine game as his eight week suspension comes to an end. It looked like Brown might be signed by the Seahawks and provide Russell Wilson with another weapon in Seattle, but Tampa Bay swooped in and picked up the receiver for Tom Brady instead. As of mid-week it was unclear how much Brown would be used in his first game back, but it should make the Saints a little nervous regardless.While both quarterbacks are over the age of 40, they each remain highly competitive. Brees has been more shaky at times, especially compared to other younger QBs, but he ...

With a solid team and a new Rookie QB, the LA Chargers have played some excellent games thus far in 2020. However, most of those great games ended in a loss after finding a weird way to lose. Can they stop the bleeding on Sunday for the Raiders vs Chargers? Here's how you can watch it live from anywhere in the world to find out.The LA Chargers have scored 20-plus points in the last four meetings vs the Raiders, so this game could get out of hand early. However, these are two new teams in new cities, with new stadiums, and new fans to help put them over the edge.Again, the location doesn't count as much as usual, but the chargers are 12 out of 17 at home against the Raiders lately. That said, the chargers trail all-time when facing the Raiders by a score of 54-64-2. Vegas is only giving the Chargers a 1-point spread, so the margin for victory is very small here and this game could go either way.Will the veteran QB Derek Carr lead his team to victory, or fall to the rookie QB, Ju...

The Kansas City Chiefs continue to look like the best team in Football. They're playing jjust as good as last year, not to mention added a few key additions. Being a 10-point favorite means the Panthers have a tough matchup ahead of them. Either way, here's how to watch the Panthers vs Chiefs live anywhere in the world.IMAGELast week the Carolina Panthers fought hard but lost to one of the worst teams in the NFL this year. As a result, we're expecting a big bounce-back game against the Chiefs here in week 9.After a strong start to the season the Panthers are having a difficult time finding success, as they've lost three out of their last four games. Keep in mind that a huge part of that offense is Christian McCaffrey, who might finally see the field for the first time in several weeks after suffering a brutal injury earlier this year.Basically, if the Carolina Panthers want any chance at taking down the Super Bowl-defending Kansas City Chiefs, they'll need to play some of their...

Bears fans have to be frustrated this year after having such a great start to the season, only to see it disappear over the last few weeks. The offense is at a stand-still, and the defense can only keep things close for so long. This week, they'll have their work cut out for them taking on the potent Titans. Here's how to watch the game live from anywhere.Make no mistake about it, the Chicago Bears have a great team and a solid defense. However, the biggest task in week 9 will be slowing down RB Derrick Henry which has a way of just taking over entire football games. And unfortunately for Bears fans, he'll likely do it again on Sunday as the Tennessee Titans are favored by 6 points.This past week the Titans put up a dud against the Cincinnati Bengals and rookie QB Joe Burrow, so they'll look to get things back on track too. They've consistently been one of the best teams in football for the past two years, so we're expecting them to be victorious.Keep in mind that while some Be...

In yet another NFC East game, the expectations have sunk to a new low. Nine weeks into the 2020 season and it's clear that any team has the ability to lead the division with merely two good weeks. It's also clear that none of the NFC East teams deserve to head to the playoffs for topping the others. If Washington can put together another win, the race will start to look more like it's between them and the 3-4-1 Eagles.The Giants are the underdogs here, but this is truly a game that could go either way. Daniel Jones has shown those glimpses of a star, but as he did against the Bucs, he's just been too unreliable to count on this season. The Giants usually start well, but have a habit of blowing leads. Washington really just has to stay steady and build off the successes they had against Dallas two weeks ago.At this point, NFC East games are spectacles that are hard to look away from. It's becoming a little fun to tune in and see all the craziness unfold in real-time. Of course, if y...

This year the Buffalo Bills are no joke and continue to show that this year might be different from prior seasons. They're playing hard, tough football and even beat the Patriots last week. However, they'll have to face a vastly better offense in the Seattle Seahawks for Week 9.Honestly, I don't really know what to think about the Seahawks this year. Russell Wilson is having another MVP-type season, which is nothing new, but the team is just weird to watch. They have an insanely potent offense, but a defense that can't stop anyone. Scoring 30+ points each week isn't ideal, either.This week Russell Wilson revealed he spends over $1 million a year to recover his mind and body after each season, and that he wants to play until he's 45 years old. However, if he keeps having to put up massive points because the defense struggles, that might be impossible.Enough about the Seahawks, and how about those Bills? They look tough this year and could have the defense to finally slow down th...

Black Friday is generally a great time of the year to score discounted video game consoles, but 2020 could still turn out to be an exception. This year, stores have had trouble keeping consoles like the PlayStation 4 and the PlayStation 4 Pro in stock at their regular prices. However, with the all-new PlayStation 5 models finally released in mid-November, retailers may take this opportunity to offer customers the PS4 or PS4 Pro at a low, discounted price one last time — if there's any stock left, that is.PlayStation 4 Black Friday deals are generally available each year, so there's still a good chance we may see a discount on the Slim or Pro console at retailers like GameStop or Kohl's. The likelihood that we'll see a deal on a refurbished PlayStation 4 console from GameStop is even higher — one such offer is even available right now. Below we're gathering all the best PS4 Black Friday deals as they go live to make shopping for your next console even easier. Plus, we'll be includ...

But while the likes of Nathaniel Phillips and Joe Gomez have stepped up well, Klopp's makeshift backline look set for a tougher challenge on Sunday.City striker Gabriel Jesus is set to return from injury to the starting line up with fellow frontman Sergio Aguero likely to be fit again to be an option from the bench for Guardiola.It all loo...

Why do features we see from phone makers take so long to make it into Android itself?Google likes to tell everyone that Android is all about choice. We have hundreds of great phones that all run on Android, and you'll probably be able to find exactly what you want when it comes to things like color or size or price. From the top phone makers, you also find a little extra. Sometimes, you find that same "extra" in every great phone except Google's Pixels.There's a reason this happens. Google Pixel phones do not run bare-bones Android built using only the open-source version. Like Samsung or LG or OnePlus, it takes that code and adds a little to it. But the system itself only uses the standard set of APIs (Application Programming Interfaces) that Google has built for Android while companies like OnePlus or Samsung use those to add in some of their own for their apps to use.That doesn't mean that the Pixel doesn't have its own features — the great call screening comes to mind, ...

We use our phones for everything from keeping in touch to keeping entertained when we have a few quiet moments. It's pretty great that we have such powerful machines in our pockets and nobody is happy when their service lets them down. That's why it's worth taking your time and checking out a few things before you switch carriers.This can be especially important when switching to a prepaid alternative carrier, sometimes called an MVNO. Because they aren't the ones installing new facilities and building out the physical networks they operate on, they sometimes have to do things a little differently. These differences usually mean the service is cheaper every month, but it can also pose a few problems if you haven't done your homework before you made the switch.That's what we're here for!...
