Is HBO Max Worth $14.99/Month? | SlickDeals

Is HBO Max Worth it?

HBO has always been the top name in premium television. But a lot has changed in the last 20 years. Now it is consumed as a subscription streaming service more than it is as a cable add-on. Now people have the opportunity to pick and choose streaming services, subscribe for a month or two at a time, cancel, and be more selective.

In this video, we take a look at HBO Max’s offerings, compare its service to competitors, and decide whether the average consumer should pay $14.99 per month to get the HBO Max content library without ads.

Do you have any tips for maximizing one month of HBO max service? Any watching schedules? Tell us in the comments!

Velotric Nomad 1 Fat Tire E-Bike: Is it a Good Road Bike? (Part 2)

Velotric Nomad 1 road test!

I’m getting up to speed on ebikes, but what’s the deal with these HUGE TIRES? The Nomad is a beefy fat tire bike with a POWERFUL motor. I’m test driving some Velotric ebikes, and I’m trying to lose some pandemic weight. After using their road bike (the Discover 1), I have a choice to make.

Would I keep the road bike, or would I use the fat tire bike? One seems better for traditional commuting, but the other seems more fun for off-roading.

Which bike would be the right fit for your needs? Which bike do you think would be more fun?

Let’s take this Nomad 1 for a spin! Continue reading “Velotric Nomad 1 Fat Tire E-Bike: Is it a Good Road Bike? (Part 2)”

Smartphone Video Editing: Why Supporting LumaFusion on Android is SUCH a Big Deal

Hello.

I edit video on my phones. I edit A LOT of video on my phones.

We keep selling people on the idea of increasingly powerful pocket computers, but we also do a poor job of showcasing apps that will USE that extra power.

Developers like to make apps for the Apple ecosystem. It’s easier to support the smaller number of phones and processors. When we have an opportunity to support a developer bringing an iOS-only app to Android, we enthusiasts need to step up and act.

The smartphone landscape is looking a little bleak…
