In the absence of generally appealing new films and TV series (No. Oscar hopefuls I’m afraid Netflix seems to be looking to the podcast market this month to see how to keep its massive subscriber base happy. New offers in March include a number of documentary series and specials that I would absolutely love to listen to on podcasts. I’ll watch Well I won’t. (I haven’t even seen Ted Lasso.) But you could.

Operation: Varsity Blues (March 17th) is sure to eyeballs, mesmerized as we all are by the college admissions scandal that toppled cultural titans like Felicity Huffman, Aunt Becky of Full House, and the fashion mogul who once designed a paper towel holder I bought from has a goal. Everyone is still pissed off how they already tampered with Hads a system that was already weighted in their favor to get their kids into “good” colleges, and for good reason.

Murder among the Mormons (March 3rd) is a slightly exploitative true crime story that apparently was already a podcast you subscribed to last year but forgot to listen. It deals with a spate of bombings that terrorized Salt Lake City in the mid-1980s.

Last Chance U: Basketball (March 10), an inspirational story of perseverance in the form of Hoop Dreams, is a spin-off of Netflix’s longtime Last Chance U. It shifts the focus from soccer to college basketball players who are in have had problems in their lives and are studying and must play at the junior college level if they hope to get back into the division.

If you have more fiction in your television diet, I personally am curious to see how well the Pacific Rim film series translates into anime in Pacific Rim: The Black, which launches on March 4th (Giant robots in the anime? It just might work!). The Irregulars (March 26th) has great potential for Buffy / Sabrina: a series about young paranormal crime fighters based on Sherlock Holmes’ famous “Baker Street Irregulars”. And then there’s Moxie (March 3), a dramatic film about a girl starting a movie, ‘Zine to Expose the Sexism in Her High School, which sounds pretty culturally relevant and is also the directorial debut of an Amy Poehler.

Here’s everything else that will come and go from Netflix in March 2021.

Screenshots are very useful whether you’re sending them to a friend, converting them to a meme, inserting them into a Lifehacker article, or remembering something later. If you use a lot of these in iOS then you are no doubt familiar with the preview that appears in the lower left corner after you take one. Sometimes it’s just what you want – one tap and you can crop, annotate, or message this screenshot. However, if you just want to take screenshot by screenshot by screenshot by screenshot, you can delete this preview for tapping to edit.

Or it will – you can’t remove it in any current, stable version of iOS (the latest is iOS 14.4, at this point) – but you should be able to do it in iOS 14.5. If you’d like to install the developer beta to try it out now, we have it previously covered how does it work.

Gadget hacks has the full workaround details. The short version is that you no longer use your phone’s physical buttons to take a screenshot. Instead, you want to create a new shortcut (via the connections App) this marks the action Media> Device> Take Screenshot, as well as the action Apps> Photos> Save to Photo Album. That’s it.

The only problem with this approach is that you have to tap your shortcut or activate it through Siri to take a screenshot. This doesn’t make it so useful to simply hold your phone’s physical buttons to achieve the same effect – with a preview window of course. To fix this, Gadget Hacks suggests assigning the screenshot shortcut to your phone Back tips Feature. That way, you can just tap your iPhone on the buttocks to take a screenshot anytime.

I enjoyed typing back, but I also envision a future where your photo library suddenly has a bunch of screenshots that you didn’t really need or want due to accidental typing. Since you can’t prevent this from happening (unless you are very careful handling and setting your device down), you will likely want to choose a photo album to save your screenshots in, which is not your default camera role.

Consider creating a new photo album, giving it a clever name, and sending all of your typed screenshots there. That way, if it ever gets too bulky, you can simply delete a bunch of photos at once instead of going through your photo library and finding them all. (Screenshots captured with your link will not be displayed in the convenient “Screenshots” media type photos App.)

That little quirk aside, Gadget Hacks’ workaround is surprisingly useful for taking screenshots. In fact, I think tapping the back of your phone is faster than moving your hand to hit that Page + increase volume Button. But maybe it’s just me; I take a lot of screenshots.

Though Punxsutawney Phil predicted six more weeks In winter, spring will come faster than we think. And since it was a long quarantine winter, with most of us staying indoors longer than ever, it is likely past us cleaning things like the vents of our homes thoroughly.

There are some pretty complicated ways of doing this yourself leaf blower and Make-shift drill attachmentsbut they’re more of a hassle than it’s worth. To save money and a headache, there are three easy ways to clean your vents and ducts with regular household items.

When to clean

If you’re lucky enough to have central air, you probably don’t think about the vents unless something goes wrong or the filter needs to be replaced. However, changing the filters once a month only solves half the problem if the vent itself just circulates dust and flakes of skin directly into your home. House maintenance center Check home warranties recommends cleaning the vents once or twice a year to keep the paths clean.

Cleaning the vents early in spring and fall helps keep airflow cleaner all year round. However, even more often – two or three times a year – if you have pets or anyone in the household with respiratory conditions such as asthma or chronic obstructive diseases, consider lung disease.

Three ways to clean your air ducts

You don’t need your own cleaning kit to clean your air ducts (this may be an exciting DIY project for you, but pretty much unnecessary). You can clean them with a few simple household items – especially your vacuum cleaner, a butter knife. a washcloth, a tub of soapy water, and a sponge.

Clean with a vacuum cleaner, butter knife and rag

First, take your vacuum cleaner with the hose extension (or Handivac) and vacuum the visible dust outside of the ventilation opening. (You can also use a Can of air to blast stubborn dust from the vent registers.) Then remove the Vent register, this is the grille over the canal entrance. Some registers are removed with a firm pull, while others are secured with screws and require a screwdriver. Make sure the screws are stored in a safe place so that they can be reinstalled afterwards. Then dampen your skewer with a small amount of water (the rag should be wet but not enough to soak the vent), wrap it over a butter knife, and insert it between the vent blades to remove any dust stuck in it . Home Advisor provides useful tips and instructions for performing this technique on your website.

In the tub

For a more thorough cleaning of your ventilation coils, you can take them to the sink or tub. Soak them in soapy water for three to five minutes to loosen the dirt. Then take a sponge and remove any remaining dirt. Rinse with the faucet or detachable shower head and lay out the registers to dry. This should take between 5 and 10 minutes. If you’re lying around, you can use Turtle Wax or a similar product to prevent future dust from clinging to your air vents.

Go with a vacuum in the vent passages

Use a regular vacuum cleaner or a standard one Shop Vac To vacuum the outside of your vent first, then insert the long hose or arm of your vacuum cleaner into the open duct to vacuum the accumulated dust in the duct path. Repeat for every air vent throughout the house. This may take some time depending on the number of vents. However, it pays to minimize the circulation of dust and allergens in your home.

When to call a professional

If you feel unable to clean them yourself or if you have more serious work to do, consider hiring a professional. The EPA offers a selection list of situations that require professional attention when it comes to cleaning your sewer system, including:

• Significant visible mold growth occurs in hard surface ducts (e.g. sheet metal ducts) or on other components of your heating and cooling system.
• The channels are infested with vermin (e.g. rodents or insects).
• The ducts are clogged with inordinate amounts of dust and debris and / or particles are actually being released into the house from your utility registers.

While mold and rodent infestation are bigger problems for your home, some small components of your HVAC system require professional attention for regular maintenance and cleaning. Hiring a professional is also best for more sensitive parts of your system such as fan motors, heat exchangers, and cooling coils that may be covered in dust. These require a little more experience than your standard homeowner can provide with a vacuum and butter knife.

Personal checks are always falling into it Disuse. They are like fax machines – outdated, slow, and only a hardened group of people still using them, even if they are less practical. Is there a good reason to keep using checks? In some cases, yes – although you still need to be careful about identity theft.

What is a personal check?

Unlike the glowing rectangles on phones or debit terminal displays that we typically use for shopping, checks are paper rectangles that take a long time to process in the mail – usually days or weeks later. During this time, you need to make sure that the money is available until the check is cleared. Otherwise, the check will bounce and you will be charged approximately $ 35 average. Worse, if you want to use checks, you have to pay them often –up to 30 cents per check, depending on your bank (some offer them for free).

Despite all of these negatives, there are some instances where you have no choice but to use personal checks or where you can save money by using these checks.

When would I even use a personal check?

As many renters can attest, not all companies or organizations accept credit cards or debits, especially for large purchases. This is because some companies have low margins and want to avoid transaction costs, or because they are large companies like utilities or government agencies that are slow to accept plastic. And if they accept debits or credits, these are often processed by third-party payment processing companies that charge a fee every time they are used. This makes checks a more convenient option when you’re looking to save money.

Another overlooked reason people use checks is this 10% of adults in the US do not use the Internet. In this case, it is easier to pay bills with a check than to pay in person with cash. And some people simply prefer the traceability of checks, as you can access a canceled check through your bank once it’s cleared, making it easier to resolve a dispute with a creditor or company later.

If you’ve ever received a check from your grandma stuck in a birthday card, you know that checks are also a preferred way to send someone a cash gift.

Are Personal Checks Safe?

Not quite. The problem with checks is that they contain your banking information (sometimes your address) and are processed by many different people before they are actually cashed, making them a target for identity thieves. One of the reasons debit and credit cards became increasingly popular is because they were seen as a safer way to buy.

When using checks, avoid adding additional personal information (such as your date of birth, phone number, or driver’s license number) in the note field of the check. If you can avoid having checks printed with your address on them, do this. You should also keep your checkbook in a safe place, ideally in a locked drawer at home.
