Disney Plus allows you to create up to seven different profiles on your account.

It is worth noting, too, that this process will actually work on both mobile platforms such as Android or iOS and on desktop platforms. So whatever platform you happen to be using Spotify on, you don’t have to move individual songs to combine playlists. Or, at the very least, not one at a time. Although it is also a possibility, using the three-dot overflow menu on any single song in a playlist, that’s a hassle....

Georgia enters the SEC Championship game undefeated in 2022. And having only lost one game in the past two seasons. That one game – last year’s SEC Championship against Alabama. LSU, on the other hand, has some pretty strong wins, including beating Alabama in Overtime. However, LSU also has some pretty bad losses like losing to Texas A&M last week 38-23. So can LSU beat Georgia? Probably not. And that’s why Georgia is a 17-point favorite right now....

It turns out the Huawei Mate 50 Pro is one of the best camera smartphones of the year. I was blown away by its performance in that area. Huawei obviously gave a lot of thought to its XMAGE camera imaging branding, and worked really hard this time around. The main camera on the phone is especially interesting. That’s not the only upside to this phone, though. I have a lot to say about it, so let’s get started....

Spotted by Dutch publication LetsGoDigital, the World Intellectual Property Office (WIPO) recently published a patent from Huawei for “an electronic device having a rolling display comprising magnetic means for flattening the display when extracted”.

Australians can get up to $70AUD off In Australia, you can buy anything from Google this weekend using a 15% promo code, which does work on almost everything....

In the case study iFixit presents, they pierce various batteries with metal materials. The metal in question breaks through the various insulating layers of the battery, hence breaking the barrier between the positive and negative layers.

Was this all for fun, or is there a vital takeaway for smartphone users around the world?...

People can use Instagram to post on desktop, but there’s one catch At the behest of a lot of Instagram users, the company is finally giving people the ability to post straight from their computers. Instagram started testing out this feature back in spring this year, and it seems that it’s time for it to hit the big time. Users on the desktop site will be able to post Instagram pictures and videos to their feed, but there is one caveat....

The word comes from Instagram chief Adam Mosseri, who shared the news on Twitter. The “take a break” feature functions exactly like it sounds, allowing users to set time intervals before receiving a notification to step aside from the app (via). Users can seemingly choose between 10, 20, and 30 minutes as the time intervals for the notification to pop up. When the timer runs out, a notification will appear on the users’ screens to close the app....

However, no actual flying car has yet come out for public use. Kitty Hawk is one of those startups now shutting down without any achievement. The startup was founded in 2010 by Google co-founder Larry Page. In 2020, Kitty Hawk canceled its original flying car project, Flyer, and said it wanted to focus on a Heaviside VTOL aircraft....
