10 Hacks Every YouTube Music User Should Know

YouTube Music isn't the most feature-rich of all the music streaming services, but it is a great option for those who love music videos, user-generated content, and the YouTube ecosystem overall. If you have YouTube Music, or are considering switching from another platform, these are the best tips and tricks to get the most out of your listening experience. If you're moving to YouTube Music from another app, you don't have to start from scratch. YouTube has a direct integration with Apple Music for playlist transfers.

To move data from Apple Music to YouTube Music, sign in to Apple Music and choose Request...

Despite flaws, Nagabhushana-starrer offers an engaging narrative with a fresh superpower

After his film Blink (2024), Srinidhi Bengaluru returns with yet another novel concept—this time in a mini-series format. Titled Jerax (an accented take on “Xerox”), the web series presents a quirky spin on a sci-fi idea. Set in the fictional small town of Rayadurga, the story revolves around Prakasha (Nagabhushana), an orphan who runs his uncle’s photocopy shop. The store houses a single, barely functional machine. However, one night—owing to a peculiar planetary alignment and Prakasha’s childhood connection—the machine begins to do more than just copy documents. It gains the ability to create real-life duplicates of people whose photographs are placed inside it. Source link

The Xteink S4 Might Be the Pocket E-Reader of My Dreams

We may earn a commission from links on this page. Though I've spent years evangelizing for the Boox Palma 2, a phone-sized Chinese e-reader with an open Android operating system, my allegiances have shifted in recent months.

The $79 X3 (which is currently only available in the U.S. direct from Xteink) is largely the same device, but even smaller—about the size of a credit card. Either one is a great cho...
