If you’re starting to struggle with all the subscription fees from streaming deals, you may want to check out Plex. After building a Plex Media Server, sign up for a Lifetime Plex Pass to unlock loads of extra features — and you’re going to want to do that right now, as membership is currently 20% off. You’ll only have to make a one-time payment of $96, for savings of $24 on the usual price of $120, as part of the Plex Inside Season Sale. Just use the promo code RELAX24 on the link below to access the offer — hurry though, as it ends on December 31.
Before you sign up for a Lifetime Plex Pass, you need to know that Plex is all about. It’s an all-in-one entertainment solution that hosts and streams your media content, which begins with setting up a Plex Media Server. Once that’s up and running, you’ll be able to blend your personal media collection with popular streaming services for a unified platform to watch movies, TV shows, podcasts, and more. Plex also has its own ad-supported, free streaming video service named Plex Free Movies and TV.
With a Plex Media Server, signing up for a Lifetime Plex Pass gives you access to features such as Live TV plus DVR so you can watch and record live TV programs from within Plex, mobile sync that copies media to your phone for offline playback, skip credits that uses advanced monitoring tools to let you bypass credits, and Webhooks that triggers Plex Media Server actions when interacting with smart home devices, among many others.
The Plex Inside Season Sale is here, offering a 20% discount on a Lifetime Plex Pass until December 31. If you use the promo code RELAX24, the price will go down to only $96 from $120, and that’s all that you’ll ever have to pay to access the long list of benefits. There are a few days before the sale ends, but you’re going to want to sign up for the Lifetime Plex Pass right now to make sure that you don’t forget. It would be a shame to miss out on the $24 in savings!
Some of the best shots in Grok Imagine’s AI-made Odyssey don’t contain actors. Ancient landscapes stretch into the distance. Close-ups of grimy hands suggest people who have touched something rougher than a keyboard. For a few seconds, the illusion holds.

YouTube videos could soon look better without eating quite so much data, right? Thankfully, the platform plans to introduce a new video format called AV2 on its web player in early 2027, promising more efficient streaming and potentially fewer playback hiccups on slower internet connections. The big headline is a roughly 30% improvement in compression efficiency over AV1, YouTube's existing video format. That doesn't guarantee every video will use 30% less data, but it could make streaming a little easier on both internet connections and data allowances.
What is AV2, and why should viewers care?
YouTube is changing how its Home page works, giving viewers more control over what shows up there and making some of the app’s most-used sections easier to reach. Custom Feeds are now replacing the existing topic chips for eligible users, while YouTube is also testing a redesigned top bar on mobile that moves Subscriptions closer to the Home feed.
YouTube first started experimenting with Custom Feeds earlier this year, letting you type out what you wanted to watch and turning that request into its own stream of recommendations. Now, the feature is starting to look less like a side experiment and more like something YouTube actually wants people to use as part of their everyday Home page.
