Love going to concerts? Then these apps are musts!

Music is a way of life, especially for some. I mean, who doesn’t like to just sit down and relax with an hour of songs by their favorite artists while tuning everything else out? But you know what’s better? Going to concerts! You’ll see your favorite musicians and bands perform, while meeting others who love the music just as much as you do (or even more!).

If you love going to concerts and other live music events, then these apps are must-haves for your collection.

Songkick Concerts

Songkick is a definite must for concert fans. It integrates with your music library, Apple Music, Spotify, and even Facebook to find out who your favorite artists are. With this information, Songkick then notifies you when your favorites announce tour dates near you, and you can even buy the tickets right from the app itself. You’re able to see all ticket options and prices, ever…

DirecTV Now and AT&T Wireless accounts aren’t affected, though.

Here’s a decently big heads up to anyone looking to cancel DirecTV and switch to … well, pretty much anything else. (That includes, of course, any of the number of flavors of streaming video.) Starting Jan. 14, 2019, AT&T no longer will prorate your bill if you cancel one of several services before the end of your billing cycle. The good news is that you’ll still keep the service through the end of the billing cycle — you just won’t be saving any money.

The new policy affects those canceling service from DirecTV, U-Verse TV, AT&T Phone, AT&T Internet, and Fixed Wireless Internet. Do note that the new policy does not affect AT&T Wireless — your cell phone — or DirecTV Now, the streaming TV arm of things. (The new policy also brings AT&T’s in line with some of its competitors.)

Here’s the not-so-fine print:

We bill in advance for DIRECTV, U-verse® TV, AT…

Did you know you can track flights directly in iMessage? You need only the airline name and flight number.

When I was a kid, we’d fly one or two times a year to Canada to visit my relatives; one trip, during a particularly eventful snow delay, I got a chance to look at flight path estimators and was completely hooked.

These days, you can preview flight paths right from your iPhone or Mac — no cumbersome CRT monitor or terribly-designed FAA flight graph required. Apple built flight tracking directly into the Messages app: You need only the airline name and number to find out the status of the flight.

In the flight tracking window, you’ll be able to see the plane’s current status on an interactive map (which you can pan and zoom), flight number, current status, terminal departure and arrival gates, and times of departure/estimated arrival along with any delays.

Note: Messages’ flight tracking is primarily designed for flights taking off within 24 hours; as such, you can’…

Get everything on tape. Or SD card, I guess.

The Yi Compact 1080p dashboard camera is down to $25 on Amazon once you clip the $15 off on-page coupon. We’ve seen this dash cam go on sale a couple times but not for a while now, and the last deal only dropped it to $26. It regularly sells for $40.

The Yi Compact came out around the end of last year, but it’s right in line with the other Yi dash cameras as great budget alternatives to far-more-expensive options like the Garmin 65W. With this camera, you get 1080p at 30 frames per second, a 130-degree wide angle lens, and night vision. It has a 2.7-inch LCD screen with easy-to-use navigation. The built-in Wi-Fi lets you connect to the smartphone app that lets you download and share videos. Users give it 3.7 stars based on 383 reviews.

You will need an SD card to record your footage onto, so it’s a good thing Samsung’s Evo Select microSD cards are still down to crazy low prices.

If you’re using Safari, you probably already know that it’s the fastest web browser for the Mac. Even with all that speed, it’s worthwhile to slow down a bit and make your web surfing experience safer.

Apple continues to add new features to Safari on a regular basis to try to make our web browsing experience faster, easier, and—above all—more secure.

You can open up a private browser window anytime you want in Safari’s file menu and Safari won’t save your browsing history and will ask websites you visit not to track you. But there are a few more steps you might want to consider taking.

The place to go for most of these things is in Safari’s preferences window, accessed from the Safari menu.

Toki’s been turned into a chimp, and it’s up to you to help him save his girlfriend and change back to a human in this remake of an arcade classic.

The Nintendo Switch has been great for retro arcade revivals, and now an unexpected simian contender is adding to that excellence. No, it’s not Donkey Kong, it’s Toki! Toki is a goofy run-and-gun game that was highly popular in arcades in the early 90s and has been reincarnated on a number of systems since. This time, a number of the original creators have gotten together to remake Toki anew for the Switch.

Here’s everything we know so far about Toki:

What is Toki?

Toki is a 1989 arcade game featuring the titular jungle man, who is transformed into an monkey/ape of some sort by an evil magician, and has his girlfriend kidnapped! In order to save her and restore his form, he must travel through the jungle and defeat the magician using his newfound abilities as a chimp.

This edition of Toki is a remake of the origin…

The Anker Roav 800A 8000mAh Jump Starter Pro is down to $74.99 with code ROAVR320 on Amazon. This normally sells for $100 and this beats our previous posted discount by $5. This deal puts it at the same price as the much smaller Anker PowerCore mini jump starter.

Anker’s device combines an emergency jump starter with an emergency battery charger. If your car dies on you, you won’t have to worry about being stranded in the middle of nowhere. You can get up to 15 jump starts from a single charge of this device. Hopefully you won’t need to use them all. If it happens at night, the device has a built-in high-intensity LED lamp. Plus, there are two USB ports for charging your mobile devices in a pinch with the 8000mAh battery. Anker backs it up with an 18-month warranty, and the 57 users who have reviewed it give it 4.6 stars out of 5.

Whether its bottlecaps, Lego figures, or m.u.s.c.l.e.s, any collector of small things will tell you that one of the challenging and fun aspects about that collecting life is finding effective storage solutions.

4K, HDR, Spotlight, Sirens… talk about home security.

Netgear has announced the Arlo Ultra, a 4K HDR wireless security camera that looks to be a serious upgrade over the Arlo Pro 2. The biggest upgrade is in the resolution. This is Netgear’s first Arlo security camera to have 4K resolution and HDR image processing. Netgear believes users will be able to use the resolution to pick up on critical details they may have otherwise missed, like license plate numbers or clothing, when identifying suspicious activity.

The camera will also come with a 180-degree field of view, automatic zoom and tracking, dual microphones, and more. The Ultra finally has a spotlight integrated into it. Previously, you had to buy the Arlo Smart Home Security Light and sync it with your system. Other features include color night vision and custom activity zones you can set yourself. The two-way audio includes advanced noise cancellation to minimize background noise and allow clear, natural conversations from…
