Subscriptions which are worth it?

Please share good Tech related subscriptions

Bro that's around 6k per month total. My brain won't let me spend this much even though I can financially support it.

What is different in the chatGPT subscription?

Chatgpt4 model, code interpreter, plugins (🔥)

Planning to take a cult subscription soon

Overly crowded these days, enquire about your nearest cult before taking membership

Note - Have not ever had all of these together (not that rich), just at different points of time

The ken?

Yes, agreed! Apple music is lit for those who like to hear lossless music

But it does not have a lot of creator uploads right? I like listening to covers, mix and stuff. For that Apple music wasn’t good till 2021, when I switched to spotify. Is it better now?

Two questions:

What kinda tennis courts do you go to? Is Medium still helpful?

Is educative.io worth it? I see yearly cost is 8k+

Costs 800 per month. $10 to be exact.

Basically what Netflix used to cost for their ultra plan.

Look up plexshare on reddit (I think the original subreddit went private, but other small subs took over, you should be able to find them). You'll get tons of owners posting ads of their servers. Find one you like with the content that you want to watch and join their discord.

Some tips:

• Never pay for a multi month sub. Period. You never know when the owner will pack up and leave (or gets banned). Pay month by month even if it's a little bit more expensive. It's better to not regret later.
• Get a trial for a server if you can. Also, try various servers before committing to one.
• Make sure to sort by bitrate and stream the most bandwidth hungry movie before you commit. That way you know that the server and your home connection can stream whatever the server throws at it. Use the native PC app for this, not Android or Web (you don't wanna transcode, see below).
• Have at least 200mbps of bandwidth if you plan to stream 4K HDR remuxes. 1080p will require much less, of course.
• Make sure your settings on Plex are set to not transcode stuff (it shouldn't convert media from one format to another, to be very basic). Transcoding taxes the server a lot and is mostly never permitted. Your server owner should have some recommendations on the best settings. Ask them for it.
• If you like what you see and plan to stream anything above 1080p, you'll either need a Nvidia Shield Pro or the new Amazon FireTV Cube (or a PC with the native app, of course). Web apps and other platforms don't direct play certain formats, which will result in transcoding, which brings us to the point above where video transcoding is rarely ever allowed (especially above 1080p).

All of this might seem like a hassle at first, but it has made media consumption very easy for me. Essentially, the old netflix never died.

Have you looked into Stremio with Torrentio addon and Real debrid subscription? RD costs me only 350-400/month and has basically got me covered for all the media I would ever need to watch.

9k is a huge amount. How is it different from other money management apps?

So I'll tell you my money management app journey.
During college I started out with an app called Money Manager. I logged all my expenses there and then put these expenses into individual categories so at the end of the month I know how much I spent in what category (food, stationary, fees etc). Money manager didn't update their UI for the longest time so I moved to an app called Money Lover. Similar concept of logging daily transactions and giving them a category so that you can see how much you are spending in a category. These apps started being a bottleneck for me after I started earning. During college my expenses were hardly 5k a month because hostel and tution was taken care of by my edu loan. But once I moved to blr for work and needed to pay off loan, rent, maid, transport, other expenses, I could no longer rely on just spending and looking back at spends at the end of the month. More often than not I had to do a lot of mental math to see how my savings for future goals was going and how much I could spend on say eating out when I am out with friends. So I wanted to make a budget. Since I was already in the app world, Excel sheet wasn't it. I could have created my own budget and every time I make a transaction I may have been able to keep a check on how much money is left in that budget category (e.g. eating out). I needed a better solution. That's when I came across this app called ynab. It's hard to explain how it's different from other apps because it has its own way of doing things. One rule you have to follow is 'Give each dollar (rupee) a job'. Which means whenever you get any money in your account, you assign it to all of the budget categories you have made based on individual target spending for that category. There should be no dollar that is not assigned to a budget category. So when you get paid on 31st, you go to ybab, add the income to ynab and then you assign money to the different categories that you have created.

Depends on the perspective and usage behaviour of the user. I use them pretty regularly and benefited a lot.

Try using lintcode

What is X premium😅? Did you mean X blue?
