Last year I started a Bluray collection after watching a Linus Tech Tips video about it. I’m frustrated about the rapidly rising cost of streaming services. For 4K ad-free service, between 2019 and 2026, Disney+ went from $7/mo to $19/mo, and Netflix went from $14/mo to $25/mo. On my “ad-free” subscriptions, sometimes I see ads anyway. I’ve read...
I love traveling light and the one bag concept, but had never actually fit everything into a single bag. I’m picky about certain items - I want my iPad setup, ice water in a vacuum bottle, and my Sonicare toothbrush.

The Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 recently came out, and it inspired me to try going phone-free, carrying only the watch.
