Want to have control over your child’s Nintendo Account? You can make one especially for them!

Nintendo has always prided itself on being a family-friendly gaming company, and in today’s connected world of gaming that can be hard. Our very own Russell Holly was impressed by how kid-friendly and how in-depth the parental controls on the Nintendo Switch — Nintendo’s newest console.

While systems like the Switch and the Nintendo 3DS have parentals controls you can set up on each device, Nintendo also offers you the ability to create and supervise a child’s Nintendo account. If you’re looking for even more security for your child, and capacity to supervise the activity on their Nintendo Account, I’ll show you how to set it all up.

You can use your Amazon Echo as a Bluetooth speaker, and guess what? You can even ask Alexa to help you get things set up!

The Amazon Echo might not be the best speaker money can buy but when you consider all the other features and benefits that come with owning an Echo, your music starts to sound a little sweeter. On top of offering several integrated music streaming services — Amazon Music, Spotify, Pandora, iHeartRadio, and TuneIn — the Amazon Echo can serve as a regular Bluetooth speaker.

If you’re an Apple Music subscriber, for example, and want to play your iPhone’s tunes on Echo’s more powerful speakers, you just need to link up your Echo and your iPhone over Bluetooth and you’re good to go! Same goes for podcasts, audio books, and whatever else you might want to stream over your Amazon Echo.

How to pair your iOS device with the Amazon Echo

Given that most of your interactions with the Echo require communicating with Alexa, it’s not surprise the Bluetooth setup…

Whether or not you should get a streaming music subscription really depends on your listening habits.

Streaming music services are all the rage right now, and I don’t mean that they’re merely trends to be blown away by the winds of change — they’re the future of music. My favorite CD store, HMV, just closed up shop in Canada. Now there’s nowhere to buy physical CDs, aside from the dwindling and tasteless selection that Walmart peddles.

I’ve always resisted streaming music services in favor of more ”purist” listening practices, like burning my CDs onto my laptop and then having them on my iPhone, rather than relying on Apple Music and the internet so I can stream. But gone are the CD drives and quickly dwindling is my patience for connecting, burning, waiting, transferring, and so on.

My sister recently added me to her Spotify Premium family, and I must say that I’m falling in love with streaming music. Here are some pros and cons to help you decide.
