Learn a new skill: Save 40% on a MasterClass membership today

MasterClass memberships are 40% off in the streaming platform's New Year Offer. Learn from trusted instructors in online classes, any time and on any device.

If you’ve got enough free time to learn a new skill or to pick up a new hobby, but you prefer to do so without leaving your home, then a MasterClass subscription is for you. If you’re interested, it’s highly recommended that you sign up immediately because there’s a New Year Offer that slashes 40% off the subscription fees. The monthly fee of the individual membership is down to $6 from $10, the duo membership is down to $9 from $15, while the family membership is down to $12 from $20. The promotion ends on Jan. 7 at 11:59 PM PT though, so you better hurry.

MasterClass is a streaming platform offers online classes across a wide variety of subjects, including arts and entertainment, business, design and style, food, music, science and tech, and sports and gaming, so there’s surely something for everyone. You’ll get unlimited access to more than 180 instructors, which includes celebrities such as Gordon Ramsay, Lewis Hamilton, Neil Gaiman, and Bill Nye, and you can watch or listen to their lessons anytime on your preferred device — computer, TV, smartphone, or tablet.

An individual membership to MasterClass will let you use the subscription on one device at a time, while a duo membership grants access to two simultaneous devices and a family membership expands that to six devices. Duo and family memberships will also allow you to download lessons for offline viewing, so you can keep learning even when there’s no internet connection.

If any of the courses offered by MasterClass catch your interest, you’re going to want to sign up for a subscription as soon as possible as fees are 40% off in the service’s New Year Offer. While the promotion is ongoing, monthly fees are just $6 for an individual membership instead of $10, $9 for the duo membership instead of $15, and $12 for the family membership instead of $20. You’ll be paying for the full year upfront, but the MasterClass free trial offers a 30-day money-back guarantee if you’re unsatisfied with the service, so that’s one more reason to take advantage of this deal. You need to act fast though, as the discounts end on Jan. 7 at 11:59 PM PT.

A virtual private network (VPN) encrypts your internet traffic and routes it through a server run by the VPN provider. Websites see the VPN server’s IP address instead of yours, and you can get around geo-blocks, censorship, and ISP throttling. The best VPN services are paid, but there are still a handful of free options that do the job well. 

Most free VPNs come with a hidden cost, because running servers isn’t cheap and a company that doesn’t charge you has to make its money somewhere else. Many do so by logging your browsing activity and selling it to advertisers, while others flood you with ads and track you across apps. 

A stocked computer cache may be convenient for logging into and out of go-to sites in seconds flat, but a major buildup of these tracking codes could significantly impact your PC’s performance. If you’ve noticed that your PC has been running rather slow of late, or you’re using a new browser and don’t know how to clear its cache, we’ve got you covered with the following guide.

If you’re looking to clean up your Gmail inbox, but you don’t want to delete anything permanently, then choosing the archive option is your best bet.
