How to download offline content from Netflix

How do I watch my favorite Netflix content offline?

Commuters rejoice! Netflix has added the option to download their content to your phone or tablet via the Netflix app. Not everything on Netflix is currently available for offline viewing, but there's a decent selection available for download right now.

Once downloaded, you'll be able to avoid using your data to play shows while using public transit, and also able to watch your favorite Netflix shows or movies when you're outside your carrier's coverage area and away from Wi-Fi.

Fortunately, Netflix has made things real easy. Here's how to get started!

How to find shows and movies to download

Tap to launch Netflix from your home screen or app drawer.
Tap the Menu button in the top left corner.
Tap Available for Download.
Browse through the content that's available to download, then tap on whatever you want to download.
Tap the Download button.If it's your first time, Netflix will highlight where the new download button is.
If your phone is not connected via Wi-Fi, you'll get a notification to turn it on.

Once you've started downloading a show or movie from Netflix, you will get a blue notification with the download progress at the bottom of your screen. You are able to browse and add for more shows to your download queue. You're also able to go directly to the My Downloads section by tapping the notification once your downloads are complete.

How to find and watch your Netflix downloads

Tap to launch Netflix from your home screen or app drawer.
Tap the Menu button in the top left corner.
Tap My Downloads.
Tap to watch a downloaded movie or episode.

My Downloads is the home for all the content you've downloaded. Netflix provides the storage information right under the title, so it's quick to see how much space each download is taking up You'll need to tap a show to expand to see the downloaded episodes, while movies and comedy specials will simply be organized alphabetically.

How to manage your downloaded Netflix content

Tap to launch Netflix from your home screen or app drawer.
Tap the Menu button in the top left corner.
Tap My Downloads.
Tap the Edit icon in the top right corner.
Tap the movies, specials, or shows you wish to remove.
Tap the Trash icon in the top right corner to delete the content.

If you select a show from the main My Downloads page, you will be deleting all episodes of that show from your phone. If you only wish to remove some episodes, you'll have to expand the show first, then tap the edit icon to select individual episodes.

Get some cityscape on your home screen with these wallpapers

Not all of us get to zip around the world seeing amazing cities.

That doesn't mean we can't witness and savor the beauty of other cities and their lovely skylines around the world. Cityscapes have been popular wallpapers for a reason: they're gorgeous, and they add sophistication to a home screen. They inspire us to expand our horizons. They let us escape our own drab little corners of the world for somewhere new, fun, and exotic. Let's go around the world, shall we?

This wonderful view of Budapest's Chain Bridge is all about connections, as the lights tie everything in the image together. From the cars scurrying back and forth across the bridge itself to the erratic strands of fairy light that bounce about the bridge, the rooftops, and the lampposts, this is a cityscape that beckons you the come into the light and connect to this lovely world.

Cityscape recolored by simen91

Cityscape wallpapers give us glimpses into worlds we will never see, and there are few places that is more true of than the gleaming metropolis of Doha, capital city of Qatar. The shining city gleams like a jewel as it sit upon Doha Bay, and looking like this, you would never guess this was in the Middle East rather than some bustling Asian hub. The city lights reflect on the calm waters of the bay, giving with the mesmerizing display.

Doha

Not all cityscapes are brilliant and crisp, and this rendition by VonSchlippe could tell a hundred different stories, from the sparse Christmas lights slung up between the streets and the mish-mash of architectural styles and awnings of the shops far below. This is a city bustling with life and with culture, and I can't wait to explore it.

Cityscape by VonSclippe

This crisp, monochromatic take on a city skyline adds depth as it plays in shades of simple cerulean. It's breathtaking, but the true brilliance comes as it mixes the minimalistic look of the cityscape with the ripples of the water and the stars above. Also, take this wallpaper, add Whicons: instant theme.

"He figured she'd gone back to Austin, 'cause she talking about it all the time…"

Blake Shelton's dream girl in Austin has the right idea, because no matter how far you wander, there'll always be something about Austin. SXSW. Austin City Limits. Circuit of the Americas. Austin has a bit of everything, and that includes a lot of nerds. Austin is a bit of a tech town and a bit of an arts town, but the whole town is authentically Texan and authentically AWESOME. Besides, at the end of every whirlwind trip, the important thing is to come home, and I am proud to call this city home.

Sketchable review: drawing on the Surface Book becomes a pure joy

Sketchable often features in Microsoft's Surface marketing, but is it actually any good?

Yes. In fact, it's rather amazing.

As a long-time Surface user and part-time doodler, I've always wondered how easily I could transition from pencil and paper to digital ink when it comes to sketching. I'm by no means a hardcore artist. I use Adobe CC for work, but I've found Photoshop's professional-grade complexity to be a tad inaccessible. Simpler, but powerful apps like Clip Studio Paint are good, but they can also be pretty expensive if you're only looking to draw occasionally for fun.

Say hello to Sketchable. Accessible and cheap enough for a part-time hobbyist, yet powerful enough for hardcore artists.

Android Pay now available in New Zealand

Android Pay has arrived in New Zealand!

New Zealand is the latest country to receive support for Android Pay. New Zealanders who bank through the Bank of New Zealand can add their Flexi Debit Visa to their phone via the Android Pay app, then pay for gas, food and more at a number of popular businesses using just their phone.

There are several New Zealand businesses that support Android Pay — whether you're looking to grab a bite to eat at McDonald's, Burger Fuel, or Domino's, do some shopping at Noel Leeming or Torpedo7, or make payments at mobile carriers 2degrees or Spark.

Currently, the Bank of New Zealand is the only financial institution supported, and the BNZ Flexi Debit Visa is the only card you're able to add. Time will tell if other New Zealand banks will hop on the Android Pay bandwagon, or whether other BNZ cards will be added to the service.

Moto Z may get a Google Tango Moto Mod in 2017

Let's Tango, Moto.

Right now, Google Tango is a great idea trapped inside mediocre hardware. As we saw in Lenovo's Phab 2 Pro, there is a lot of potential in the camera-reliant augmented reality technology, but right now there's really no reason for a consumer to invest in it.

Motorola, Lenovo's mobile-focused subsidiary, plans to change that in 2017 with a Google Tango Moto Mod, according to company president Aymar de Lencquesaing, speaking to a group of reporters at a meeting in Chicago. "We're likely to to have a Tango module to basically enable the Z to have Tango functionality," noting that "augmented reality on a phone is a technology that's likely to stick." There is tons of potential there, he continued. "We'll follow, or lead, the market in this area."

Lenovo, Motorola's parent company, worked directly with Google on the Tango-powered Phab 2 Pro, which happens to be the first consumer product to work with the nascent technology. de Lencquesaing wouldn't go as far as to confirm the existence of a Tango Moto Mod, but hinted that it would be a natural progression for Motorola's modular platform, which currently works on the Moto Z, Moto Z Force and Moto Z Play.

How to set up multiple time zone clocks on Windows 10

Windows 10 lets you view up to three different time zone clocks — here's how to set up and keep track of even more.

Displaying multiple time zone clocks comes in handy when you're dealing with work, friends, or family across the world. Heck, it can even be useful in figuring out when a live event (like a Microsoft Build keynote) is when it's in a different time zone.

Windows 10 allows you to configure up to three different clocks: the primary clock set to your local time, plus two additional clocks with different time zones. You can view all three by clicking or hovering over the clock in the system tray.

In this Windows 10 guide, we'll show how to set up time zone clocks, and also how you can track even more time zones using the Alarms & Clock app.

FaceTime App: The Ultimate Guide

How do you use FaceTime to make audio and video calls to anyone with an iPhone or iPad? Easily!

FaceTime is Apple's video and audio calling service. Think of it as a phone that uses your Wi-Fi or cellular data connection instead of traditional phone lines. You can use it from any iPhone, iPad, iPod touch or Mac, to call anyone else using any one of those devices. That's what makes FaceTime perfect for seeing and hearing family during the holidays, when you're on the road, keeping grandparents connected to grandkids, making international calls when you have no long-distance plan, getting a second opinion on that jacket while you're out shopping, sharing a show, making a meeting, and much, much more.

How to make a FaceTime call from your iPhone or iPad

Placing FaceTime video or audio calls is ridiculously easy to do. There's a built-in FaceTime app on every iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Mac, and FaceTime is also integrated into the Phone app on iPhone, As long as you're on Wi-Fi or cellular data, you can stay in touch with family and friends, even while traveling, connect with anyone in the world, even without a long distance plan, and not only hear but see the people you're talking to.

How to manage numbers, addresses, and caller ID on FaceTime for iPhone and iPad

FaceTime starts off using your iPhone phone number and Apple ID email address as the way for other people to reach you. You can add new addresses — for example, a work or school address —and remove them at any time, though, and set any active number or address as your Caller ID. That way, no matter which Apple device you're using to make a FaceTime call, no one will ever be confused about who's calling them.

How to block contacts on FaceTime for iPhone and iPad

You can block a contact from trying to FaceTime you — and phone you and iMessage you — at any time. Whether it's a former significant other, friend, relative, or associate you've fallen out with, or a spammer or prank caller harshening your mellow, block them once and they're silenced forever. (Or at least until you decide to unblock them.)

How to turn on, off, and restrict FaceTime on iPhone or iPad

FaceTime is automatically activated as part of the overall setup process you go through the first time you turn on a new iPhone, iPod touch, iPad, or Mac. If, for some reason, it isn't activated, or if you want to restrict access for your children, or even turn it off entirely, you can do that too.

OnePlus 3 gets its first beta Android 7.0 Nougat build

Manually jump to the latest software right now.

As we tip over to December we're still waiting for an official OTA update to Android 7.0 Nougat on the OnePlus 3, but the most anxious among us can now be the first to see what OnePlus has done with Nougat by installing the latest Open Beta 8 software. Because of the big jump this latest beta will not arrive over the air for current Open Beta users — you'll have to manually apply this update.

The quick changelog from OnePlus:

Upgraded to Android 7.0 Nougat
New Notifications Design
New Settings Menu Design
Multi-Window View
Notification Direct Reply
Custom DPI Support
Added Status Bar Icon Options
Added Quick Launch For 3rd Party Applications
Improved Shelf Customization

As is always the case with beta software — particularly the first release of a new platform version — we want to give the proper amount of caution here to let you know this will be unstable and potentially have issues. OnePlus notes that right off the bat Android Pay may not work properly, and there are general stability and performance problems.

You get the latest software, but be ready for potential bugs.

More importantly for some, you won't be able to simply downgrade back to Android Marshmallow if you're unhappy with this beta Nougat experience. The only way to go back to Marshmallow requires a special Open Beta build (available from OnePlus customer service) that will format your device, so proceed with caution here as it's a one-way street unless you want to lose your data.

For those who are aware of the risks and willing to give Nougat a try on their OnePlus 3, head to the OnePlus forums and grab a download of the 1.3GB .zip file containing the new update. Hook up to your computer and use the "adb sideload" command to apply the update as you would any other update, or if you are already on an Open Beta build you can simply put the file on your phone and manually update through the system settings.

Best Cases for Shooting Underwater iPhone Photography

How do you take amazing underwater photographs with your iPhone? With an amazing waterproof case!

Why stick to shooting on land when you can get some amazing photographs underwater? Well, the iPhone isn't waterproof, for starters, and it's not like there are any awesome, specialized cases made specifically for underwater iPhoneography, are there?

Oh, wait, there are! And they can take you — and your iPhone — out of your comfort zone and into deep blue!

SPARIN iPhone 7 Plus Waterproof Case
iThrough Underwater Case
Vansky Waterproof dry bag
Optrix Pro
Watershot PRO

SPARIN iPhone 7 Plus Waterproof Case

If you're looking for a waterproof case for your iPhone 7 Plus that pairs well with your photography itch, then we recommend checking out the SPARIN iPhone 7 Plus Waterproof Case.

Designed to keep snapping photos at up to 6.6 feet (or around 2 meters), the SPARIN case can survive underwater for nearly one hour. The case keeps your iPhone protected and sealed against not only H2O, but also dirt, dust, and ice when you go skiing or skating.

The SPARIN gives users full access to your iPhone's camera and flash while still providing protection to all buttons and ports, so you can easily use your volume button as a shutter button while underwater!

You can pick up the SPARIN iPhone 7 Plus Waterproof Case in two colors, including a bright baby blue and black.

See at Amazon

iThrough Underwater Case

Built to be slim enough as a day-to-day case, but protective enough to survive a plunge deeper than a meter in a pool, the iThrough Underwater Case is a great option for those looking to snap some pictures and video underwater!

With some cases, you can't do deeper than 2 or so meters, but the iThrough makes it easy to dive to 20 feet in order to capture that perfect picture. Not only that, but the case sports a crystal-clear silicone membrane that's guaranteed not to distort and warp your underwater footage.

The case did not let any water in just pressure out! I then installed my phone and the Touch ID still works! ... next I tested the camera which looks just as good as with no case. (Amazon user @Naomi Woods)

The iThrough comes in a couple of fun or more traditional colors, like lake blue and pink, or black and white.

Vansky Waterproof dry bag

If you're looking for an all-purpose photography accessory for your iPhone SE, 6, or 7 Plus, look no further than the Vansky Waterproof dry bag.

Designed from a premium grade TPU, the Vansky dry bag can handle a ton of wet conditions — whether that's jogging in the rain or playing by the pool — but it's also great for snapping photos and video underwater.

The thin layer that protects your iPhone is crystal clear enough to allow distortion-free photos, while the armband and wrist strap that come with the case actually make a decent grips for holding your iPhone underwater.

See at Amazon

Optrix Pro

Though not yet compatible with the iPhone 7 line, if you have an iPhone 6 or 6s you can shoot nearly anything, anywhere, with the Optix Pro waterproof case and lens kit. Engineered to transform your iPhone into a rugged and waterproof adventure camera, the Optrix Pro is the perfect companion for curious iPhoneographers who are looking to burst the bubble on boring and basic iPhoneography!

This mountable case and professional, interchangeable lens system works swimmingly even when trying to capture the most difficult snapshots. With the Optrix Pro Kit, you get not only the case, but four high-quality, interchangeable lenses – a normal lens, a wide-angle 165 degree lens, a 2x telephoto lens, and a macro lens. You also get a protective lens case.

[See at Amazon]http://ift.tt/29k0iNY){.cta .shop.nofollow}

Watershot PRO

Forget jumping in head-first — jump in phone-first with the Watershot PRO underwater camera housing for your iPhone 6s! While technically a waterproof housing and not a case, the Watershot PRO completely covers and protecting your iPhone. An ergonomic right hand grip and a wrist lanyard provides some peace of mind while shooting underwater. A simple, integrated metal mounting plate allows the Watershot to work seamlessly with most GoPro mounting options.

The most amazing thing about the Watershot PRO is the extreme depths it allows you work at. You can dive up to 195 feet with the Watershot Pro, since the iPhone is fully suspended within the housing, ensuring the phone and screen are effectively shielded from impact and external pressure.

Best CPU Coolers for 2016

When looking at what's available on the market for both air and liquid cooling, we've awarded the H110i by Corsair as the best cooling solution for your CPU. Here's why.

Best Overall

Corsair H110i

See at Amazon

Corsair all-in-one looped water coolers are great options for those moving from air cooling to utilizing some form of liquid. The H110i unlocks great performance and allows for some degree of overclocking, though you'll certainly need to ensure your case and other cooling components are up to the task.

Bottom line: Should you be looking up liquid cooling but don't wish to risk custom loops, the H110i is a superb place to start.

One more thing: The fans included with the cooler can be rather loud, especially if you unlock increased CPU performance.

Why the Corsair H110i is the best

We found the H110i from Corsair to offer great levels of cooling performance for the price, allowing for a neater setup with less space inside the chassis dedicated to massive heat sinks and fans.
