Brother Compact Monochrome Laser Printer, HL-L2350DW, Wireless Printing, Duplex Two-Sided Printing, Amazon Dash Replenishment Enabled - $79.99

Since your post hasn't been taken down, I want to thank you for potentially saving me $20 - 30 bucks.

I bought a Brother printer, with slightly better specs, from Amazon the other day; I haven't received it yet. After seeing your post, and out of curiosity, I checked to see what the price was now on the printer that I purchased. It had gone down about $20--maybe a little more.

I wrote the third party seller to see if they would refund the difference, or if I could return the printer and buy one at the lower price.

Netflix raises prices on all streaming plans in US

New customers will be impacted immediately

Netflix subscribers in the United States are about to see a price hike across all subscription tiers.

The service’s most popular plan will increase from $11 to $13 per month for HD streaming. Netflix’s most expensive plan, which offers 4K content and up to four simultaneous streams on different devices, will increase from $14 to $16. And the service’s basic plan, which doesn’t offer HD, will raise from $8 to $9.

These price hikes will affect all new subscribers immediately, according to AP, with current subscribers set to experience the hike over the next three months.

Netflix Plans

• Basic ------- $8.99 --- was $7.99
• Standard -- $12.99 -- was $10.99
• Premium -- $15.99 -- was $13.99

Hulu drops to just $5.99 per month after Netflix’s price hikes

The core service is getting cheaper, but live TV now costs more

Hulu just announced that it will lower the price of its base, ad-supported subscription plan to $5.99 per month — down from the current $7.99 — beginning on February 26th. Hulu has offered its service at $5.99 previously on a promotional basis, and it clearly makes enough of a difference at pulling in subscribers to justify a price drop for the standard rate. In case you were concerned, customers will not see an increase in ad volume because of the reduced pricing. The $11.99-per-month “no commercials” plan will stay at its current price, as will the $12.99 Hulu/Spotify combo subscription, which Spotify handles billing for.

The price drop comes only days after rival Netflix announced increased subscription fees across all of its plans. The most popular plan (with HD streaming) is now $13 per month. Netflix’s content is, of course, ad-free, but Hulu is now creating enough of a cost divide that consumers might find its commercials easier to put up with. Hulu revealed earlier this month that it ended 2018 with over 25 million subscribers. That’s less than half of Netflix’s 58 million US-based customers, but it represents an impressive 48 percent increase in subscribers compared to where its subscriber count stood at the end of 2017.

However, Hulu does have one price hike of its own: the company is increasing the cost of its Hulu with Live TV service, which will jump to $44.99 instead of the current $39.99. As a result, the gulf between the standard service and Hulu’s internet TV offering is growing wider and a dollar shy of $40. The justification for the uptick in price is an increased channel selection — Hulu reached an agreement with Discovery, Inc. in September — and improvements to reliability and usability of the live TV experience. But this is also just the hard reality of these streaming TV services: they face the same hurdles as cable providers in reaching deals with networks and broadcast affiliates, and the major ones are all money losers. It’s inevitable that prices will continue to climb. You've also got to factor in that Hulu with Live TV includes the full on-demand product, which is relatively unique as these services go.

“We are all ignorant; just about different things.”--Mark Twain.

I am not into media, so I don't know the answer to this question . . . . is the fact that the Netflix is a free app at the Microsoft App Store
(https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/p/netflix/9wzdncrfj3tj?activetab=pivotverviewtab) of any help?

[The URL still works, despite the embedded smilie: my computer has some kind of problem. The computer's headed to the shop later this morning.]

The apps are free everywhere, but you always have to pay for service.

Thanks for the tip. I used to have Unlimited but canceled about a year ago, and this offer worked for me too.

Nice. Thanks!

There are only two new tracks, but what with them being from The Rembrandts, I'll gladly take these freebies.

If the name of this rock/power pop band doesn't ring a bell, you surely might recognize some of their hits. They had a great hit with "Just the Way It Is, Baby," for example. Another hit was the #1 selling, "I'll Be There For You," the theme song from the TV show "Friends."

The Rembrandts are one of those "whatever happened to . . . . ?" great artists. You know the ones that I'm talking about. They crank out some great hits--maybe a string of them--and then . . . seem to disappear.

Well, the Rembrandts didn't disappear; however, it has been 18 years since they produced a studio album! They've just recently released a new one. The giveaway of the two tracks from the album obviously is timed to coincide with this auspicious occasion.

To get the two free tracks, go to this website and click on the prominent "Listen Now" button.

I've listened to both tracks. They've got "catchy" tunes. I like them--but don't let that deter you from grabbing them.

I thought that that title would get your attention.

If you're not accustomed to it, check your inbox today. You may have an offer from Google Play for $1 off of an app, game, or in-app item.

Sure, $1 is small potatoes. However, the upside is that that $1 is good for a purchase of just $3 or more.

On the other hand, I rarely see any apps (that's the only category that I'm familiar with) for $3 or more.

If you don't have the offer in an email message, and you're interested in this deal, you might want to check the Google Play website, anyway, to see if you've been targeted by that avenue to receive the deal. Alernatively, you might wish to try promo code VALENTINE2019.

I challenge any MobileReader to find a less valuable deal today.
