Netflix said Tuesday it’s now rolling out its updated policy on account-sharing in the US. It began sending emails on May 23 to customers who are sharing passwords with anyone outside of their household, Netflix said in a blog post.
If you’re sharing your streaming account with friends and family who live at a different address, you may opt to pay a fee for the extra user or to remove them from your account.Subscribers with either a standard or premium plan can choose to pay an additional $8 per month for each extra member. At this time, the extra member option is only available for those who are billed directly by Netflix.
There are limits to how many extra users are allowed on accounts. Only those with a premium membership can add two extra people to their account; the standard price plan allows for only one extra member. Netflix defines a household as one where everyone lives under the same roof. Members of that household are still able to watch content while traveling, and the extra fee will not apply.
When you open the Netflix app and navigate to your account page, you’ll see an Extra Members option. From there, subscribers can purchase a slot for the person outside their household. If they accept the invitation, the extra member will receive their own separate account, profile and password, and the fee is paid for by the main subscribing household.
The rules? Extra member accounts can only stream on one device at a time and are only permitted to have one profile. The extra member must also be located in the same country as the account holder.
Subscribers can also opt to remove users outside of their households from their account, and urge them to sign up for their own Netflix subscriptions. In this case, anyone who is removed from an account can transfer existing profiles to a new membership they pay for themselves.
Here’s a look at the monthly cost for each subscription plan:

The streaming service rolled out its new policy in February for Canada, Spain, Portugal and New Zealand. Netflix first announced its intention to crack down on password-sharing last year. In April, Netflix said it would implement a fee for US customers by the end of the second quarter.
Apple’s WWDC is set to kick off in less than two weeks. The big developer-focused event has traditionally been where we get our first looks at new software for iPhones, iPads, Apple Watches and Macs. But occasionally we get some new hardware, too.
This year seems set to be the latter. With plenty of rumors circulating around the tech giant’s mysterious augmented reality headset, a new 15-inch MacBook Air and the long-teased Apple Silicon-powered Mac Pro, it’s certainly possible there could be some physical products on stage alongside all the software improvements.
Although there’s still some time until Tim Cook pops up on stage and makes things official, here’s what we expect at the keynote address June 5.
When is WWDC?
This year’s WWDC runs June 5 to 9. The opening keynote speech is set for 1 p.m. ET (10 a.m. PT) on June 5.
The biggest rumor heading into this year’s WWDC is of course the Apple headset. Rumored to be running on a new “xrOS,” the device could utilize mixed reality, a combination of virtual reality and augmented reality. There may be eye and hand tracking, high-resolution displays and… a potential $3,000 price tag.
Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman recently detailed how Apple plans to incorporate sports, gaming, workouts and iPad apps into the headset to show off what the new platform can do. Whether that’s enough to excite consumers and persuade them to drop three grand or for developers to commit to building apps for it remains to be seen.
MacBook Air 15
The MacBook Air has long been one of Apple’s most popular laptops. Frequently sold with a 13-inch screen, Apple has experimented with different sizes of Airs in the past, including offering an 11-inch model for years. Rumors these days, however, suggest that the company has a larger, 15-inch M2-powered Air raring to go. That once again comes from Bloomberg’s Gurman, who expects the new laptop to be announced at this year’s event. It’s about time.
While rumors point to an imminent announcement, it’s unclear how much Apple might charge for the new Air or how it might fit into the company’s existing MacBook lineup. The 2020 M1-powered 13.3-inch MacBook Air is still sold for $999, while the updated M2-powered 2022 13.6-inch MacBook Air starts at $1,199. A 16-inch MacBook Pro, meanwhile, starts at $2,499. Might the 15-inch Air fit somewhere in the middle?
Apple M-Series Mac Pro
Oh, the Mac Pro. Apple last updated the Mac Pro at WWDC in 2019. Despite some teases that confirmed it’s working on a new one powered by its Apple Silicon chips, the company has largely been quiet about the super powerful computer. Might the “another day” be June 5? It’s possible and Mac Pro fans may want to tune in, but with tempered expectations.
In an April appearance on The MacRumors Show, Gurman, the Apple savant, suggests that it still may arrive this year but not at WWDC.
New software
In addition to all the hardware rumors, we can expect Apple to detail the latest updates coming this year to its iOS, iPadOS, WatchOS and TVOS platforms.

The Galaxy S23 launch may be far behind us, but Samsung likely has plenty more to announce in 2023. That’s if history repeats itself. Should Samsung stick to its annual routine, we can expect to see new foldable phones and wearable devices in August. The company also previewed new designs for bendable phones and tablets earlier this year, hinting that the company may be planning to expand beyond the Z Fold and Z Flip in the near future.
Though Samsung regularly releases new products across many categories, including TVs, home appliances and monitors, I’m most interested in where its mobile devices are headed. Samsung is one of the world’s largest smartphone manufacturers by market share, meaning it has more influence than most other tech companies on the devices we carry in our pockets each day. Wearables have also become a large part of how Samsung intends to differentiate its phones from those of other Android device makers. It’s a strategy to create a web of products that keep people hooked, much like Apple’s range of devices.
Here are the rumored Samsung products I’m most excited to see this year, based on rumors, leaks and the company’s usual product launch schedule.
Galaxy Z Fold 5
Samsung’s next phone-tablet hybrid will likely support the S Pen just like the current version. But the question is whether the S Pen will be included with the device, or if Samsung will continue to sell it separately.
A report from The Elec suggested the Galaxy Z Fold 5 could be the first to have an embedded S Pen. That not only means the stylus would be included free of charge, but the phone would also include a slot for storing it, just like on the Galaxy S23 Ultra and S22 Ultra. If you want to use an S Pen with the Galaxy Z Fold 4, you have to purchase it separately, and there’s no mechanism for attaching it to or storing it in the phone without buying a case.
It’s a seemingly small addition, but one that could make the Galaxy Z Fold 5 much more useful as a productivity device. It would also give the Galaxy Z Fold 5 a clearer purpose and could boost its appeal among early adopters, artists and notetakers. Samsung could target the same audience of shoppers that’s usually interested in the Galaxy Ultra or its previous Galaxy Note devices.
But a more recent report from ET News indicates the Galaxy Z Fold 5 will not include a storage slot for the S Pen.
Among the biggest changes, however, is expected to be a new hinge that could result in a thinner design. Korean news outlets The Elec and ET News, as well as prolific leaker Ice Universe, have reported that Samsung will implement a new water-drop-shaped hinge for the Galaxy Z Fold 5.
Samsung typically releases new foldable phones in August, so we expect to hear more around that time frame. In addition to the rumors around an included S Pen, the Z Fold 5 will likely have the routine upgrades to the processor and camera. What I’m really hoping for, however, is new software that makes better use of the phone’s giant screen, along with a foldable display with a less noticeable crease. That’s especially true now that Google has announced the Pixel Fold, giving the Galaxy Z Fold some fresh competition.
Galaxy Z Flip 5
Samsung’s pocket-friendly foldable will also likely get an upgrade around August, just like the expected Z Fold 5. The Galaxy Z Flip 4 already gets a lot of things right, and it’s one of the most practical and affordable foldable phones available. Yet there are plenty of ways Samsung can and should improve the Z Flip. Samsung’s flip phone could benefit from a larger cover screen, longer battery life and an upgraded camera that brings it closer to those found on the Galaxy S series, for example.
But the biggest reason I’m interested in seeing what’s next for the Z Flip is because of its price. The phone starts at $1,000 and is often available for less with an eligible trade-in, making the price similar to that of a standard, non-foldable premium phone. Samsung also kept the Galaxy Z Flip 3 in its lineup and dropped its price by $100 following the Z Flip 4’s launch. That further suggests the Z Flip is shaping up to be Samsung’s more affordable foldable phone option.
A Galaxy Z Flip 5 with a newer processor, better camera and larger cover screen for the same price as the Z Flip 4 (or perhaps a little cheaper) could be one of the most compelling foldables yet.
Galaxy Buds 3
If Samsung’s history is any indication, the Galaxy Buds 3 could arrive this August. Samsung released the Galaxy Buds 2 Pro in August 2022 while the standard Galaxy Buds 2 launched in August 2021. That timeline suggests Samsung’s regular, non-Pro earbuds may be due for an upgrade.
We haven’t seen many leaks about upcoming Galaxy Buds yet. However, given that the regular Galaxy Buds are meant to be a more affordable alternative to the Pro model, we can probably expect them to cost significantly less than the Galaxy Buds 2 Pro. Those earbuds are usually priced at $229 compared to the $150 Galaxy Buds 2. Although we don’t know what to expect, the Buds 3 could benefit from better water resistance and noise cancellation.
Galaxy VR headset
It’s already shaping up to be a big year for virtual and augmented reality headsets. Apple is expected to introduce a VR headset, and the PlayStation VR 2 just arrived in February. Samsung has been surprisingly absent from the VR space in recent years, but that could change soon.
Samsung announced in February that it’s working with Qualcomm and Google on a new mixed-reality platform. The company did not mention whether any specific products are in development, nor did it provide a timeline for future mixed-reality hardware or services.
“It’s more of a declarative announcement about how we are going to get it right in trying to build the XR ecosystem,” TM Roh, president of Samsung’s mobile division, said through a translator in an interview with CNET ahead of the announcement.
The reveal comes after a report from ETNews suggested Samsung would release an extended-reality headset for developers in 2023, according to an English translation of the story.
Since there aren’t many details, it’s difficult to know what to expect. But Sameer Samat, Google’s vice president of product management for Android, said during Google I/O 2023 that the company will share more about its “immersive XR” partnership later this year.
A new type of Galaxy foldable
Samsung hasn’t mentioned plans for future foldables beyond the Galaxy Z Fold and Galaxy Z Flip series, but it certainly has plenty of ideas to choose from. At CES 2023, Samsung showcased its line of “Flex” display concepts, including the appropriately named Flex Hybrid. That device has a foldable, tablet-size screen that extends by sliding out when opened to provide even more screen space.
The Flex Hybrid caught my eye, though, because I can understand the potential behind foldable tablets. Tablets are inherently larger than phones, so the ability to make them more portable by folding them in half seems more necessary. Tablets are also usually used as secondary devices for tasks like watching movies, reading, or getting work done. Having a display that could morph to fit different circumstances seems interesting.
Samsung also showed off some concepts as part of SID Display Week in May, including the Rollable Flex, which expands up to five times its length when unfolded.
It’s unclear whether any of these will graduate into real products. But it’s important to remember the Galaxy Z Fold started as a concept, too.
Galaxy Watch 6
Samsung hasn’t said much about its future smartwatch plans, aside from revealing that its new One UI 5 Watch software will debut on new watches later this year. There also haven’t been many leaks or rumors about the Galaxy Watch 6 yet. But if the company follows its usual schedule, we should see new Galaxy Watches in August.
One of the few leaks to have surfaced so far comes from a well-known leaker who goes by the Twitter avatar Ice Universe, who says the beloved rotating bezel will return to the high-end version of the Galaxy Watch 6. Otherwise, the upcoming watches will likely have the same health sensors found in the Galaxy Watch 5 and 5 Pro, which include those for measuring body composition, blood oxygen and taking an ECG among others. There’s also a skin temperature sensor that still isn’t active yet in the Galaxy Watch 5 and Watch 5 Pro.
Samsung’s Exynos W920 chip that powers the Galaxy Watch 5, enabled better performance for 3D graphics like emoji avatars and faster app launches. It’s unclear whether Samsung will develop a new chip for the Galaxy Watch 6, but I hope to see longer battery life regardless. Since Apple and Qualcomm have both made efforts to expand the functionality of smartwatches in low-power mode, it wouldn’t be surprising to see Samsung take this route, too.
Samsung is already experimenting with different opportunities for its wearables and phones to work together in new ways. For example, it recently announced a software update for the Galaxy Buds 2 Pro that will enable the buds to capture 360-degree audio when recording video with a Galaxy phone. It also expanded the Camera Controller app for the Galaxy Watch 4 and 5 to include zooming support. Hopefully we’ll see more of this with the Galaxy Watch 6.
We’ll know more about Samsung’s future plans as August gets closer. But if Samsung’s 2023 launch cycle is anything like last year’s, we can expect to see new foldables and more.
Twister Air is bringing an augmented reality spin to the color-matching game, replacing the mat with wristbands and an app that tracks how you move.
Revealed Wednesday by Hasbro, the $20 game uses the camera on a phone or tablet to track as players match wrist and ankle bands with colored spots on the screen.
Though Twister Air is unlikely to make players get into yogalike positions to hit all the spots, like the traditional game sometimes requires, it does prompt players to reach, clap, swipe or pose to earn points.
Twister Air can be played in teams, one-on-one or by yourself, and it includes 16 songs that play during games. The set comes with an adjustable stand for holding a phone or tablet, and you can play the game on a television using AirPlay for iOS devices or Chromecast when using Android.
Twister Air is the latest game to reinvent itself by taking advantage of augmented reality. March saw the release of Hot Wheels Rift Rally featuring a remote control car that races around on your floor while appearing to shoot along an AR racetrack that appears on your phone or TV.
Twister Air goes on preorder starting today at Amazon, and it’ll hit most retail stores on Aug. 1.
It seems like graphics card prices are dropping daily, especially for the budget 1080p gaming end of the market: No sooner had Nvidia announced its RTX 4060 at $300 when Intel decreased the price of its competing Arc A750 by about $70 to $200. And shortly before AMD even announced its new Radeon RX 7600, the company reacted to Nvidia’s pricing by shaving $30 off it to come in at a starting price of $270.
These types of recalibrations in prices aren’t unusual — it’s an “Uh oh. We don’t think our card will perform as well for the same money” response. It’s actually quite refreshing, a return to normal after the years of cryptomining- and pandemic-driven price insanity. And $269 feels about where this card should fall, delivering solid 1080p frame rates. But if you’ve got any interest in taking quality up a notch with raytracing or growing into 1440p, it may fall a bit short. And at $200, the Arc A750 looks surprisingly attractive in comparison.

AMD’s raytracing performance still not up to par
You’ll be able to buy the RX 7600 starting this week; there’s an AMD version (which we tested) as well as versions from its usual board partners, such as ASRock, Asus, MSI, Gigabyte, PowerColor and more.
It’s not the cheapest AMD option, just the cheapest one based on AMD’s current RDNA 3 architecture. The last-gen RDNA 2 models, RX 6600 and 6650 XT remain in the line starting as low as $229. Above the RX 7600, there are no RX 7800 or RX 7700-class models as yet, so above the RX 7600 are the older 12GB 6700 XT and 6750 XT and the 16GB RX 6800, 6800 XT and 6950 XT, covering a price range from about $370 to about $900.
With 8GB of VRAM, small size — it’s two slots wide, but it’s quite short at under 9 inches — and relatively modest power and slot requirements, it’s a perfect fit for a new budget gaming PC build or for upgrading a 3-year-old low-end GPU in an older system.

Unlike Nvidia, all of AMDs graphics cards have DisplayPort 2.1 connectors (Nvidia’s still on 1.4a), but its somewhat moot for this class of GPU — it doesn’t have enough power to require the extra bandwidth that connection affords, like running 4K at high refresh rates.
Performance
In testing, the card generally delivered 1080p in the 80 to 120fps range at high quality depending upon the game, but you’ll have to scale back quality if you want to jump to 1440p.
The company’s FidelityFX Super Resolution 2.0 technology for upscaling theoretically offers a substantial performance bump: On the new 3DMark FSR 2 test, it boosted frame rates at least 75% and up to 190% with a variety of settings. (I didn’t test every permutation of resolution and quality because testing is an abyss I may never crawl out of.) But in many cases that just boosted 1440p frame rates from unplayable to borderline.
There aren’t a lot of games with FSR 2/2.1 — just about 50 at my last count, some of which haven’t shipped yet — and I wasn’t really happy with earlier versions. Still need to do more testing on this, especially versus Nvidia’s DLSS 3 and Intel’s XeSS. Data accumulation in progress.
The automatic overclocking of the GPU and memory via the driver didn’t seem to have much of an effect, though it remained stable in stress tests; you can manually tune them, but see above regarding testing abyss.
But one thing I consistently see is subpar raytracing performance compared with other GPUs. AMD seems to lag Nvidia and even relative newcomer Intel by a generation, even with the higher end RX 7900 XTX and XT. However, raytracing isn’t a hugely popular feature priority compared with the desire for better performance at higher resolutions; if you fall into that camp, don’t sweat it.
AMD does seem to excel at certain types of pro graphics tasks, notably those represented by the types of applications SpecViewPerf tests. It’s not exceptionally fast (it is a low end card, after all) and only at about 1440p and below, but for the money it seems like a good value.
I did experience a few screen redraw glitches and one system hang, but I couldn’t isolate the causes or replicate them, so for the moment I’ll consider them rub of the green.
I wouldn’t be surprised if we saw more new models to replace AMD’s existing 6000-series cards around the same time as Nvidia ships the RTX 4060 — July — and unless your current GPU is making you crazy with the slow, I’d wait to see what AMD’s planning and how the RTX 4060 shapes up.

There are plenty of handheld consoles out there that let you enjoy your games on the go. If you don’t want to sacrifice power for portability, however, you’ll probably want to opt for a gaming laptop. That kind of convenience doesn’t come cheap, which is why it’s important to take advantage of discounts where you can find them. And today only, Best Buy is offering a whopping $700 off this powerful Acer Predator Triton 300 SE, which drops the price down to $900. This deal is only available until 9:59 p.m. PT (12:59 a.m. ET) tonight, so be sure to get your order in before then if you don’t want to miss out on these savings.
The Acer Predator Triton 300 SE packs a lot of hardware into a pretty tiny package. Internally, it’s equipped with a 12th-gen Intel Core i7 processor with 14 cores, as well as 16GB of RAM and a 512GB solid-state drive, for lightning-fast performance. It also features an Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060 graphics card and a 14-inch, full HD screen with a 165Hz refresh rate for smooth graphics. And with a state-of-the-art cooling system built-in and a 76Wh battery, it’s designed for all-day gaming sessions. All of this in a package that’s less than 20mm thick, making it easy to slip in your bag or backpack and take with you on the go.
CNET’s Lori Grunin reviewed an earlier version of this model with similar specs, and found it a good balance of power and portability, with some neat design touches, like a backlit keyboard with configurable colors. Read her Acer Predator Triton 300 SE review for more.

Long before the rise of the Netflix true crime documentary, Forensic Files was setting the standard for documentary programming. Originally running from 1996 through 2011, each episode of the show’s 15 seasons revealed how forensic science was used to aid the solving of violent crimes, resolve mystifying accidents, and determine how spates of widespread illness occurred.
While the show hasn’t aired new episodes in over a decade, it can be easily streamed online for those wanting a true crime fix. Better yet, it’s available to watch completely free in a number of places. Note that we’re not including the rebooted Forensic Files II series in the service recommendations below, though you can catch that show in places like Discovery Plus, Max and Sling (though not for free).
Sling’s recently revamped Sling Freestream service offers all 15 seasons of Forensic Files to watch for free. One of the best aspects of Freestream is the ability to watch content for free without the need to add a payment card or even create an account, though signing up with a Sling Freestream account has some benefits like watchlists, remembering where you left off and parental controls.
Similarly, Pluto TV has Forensic Files available to stream for free without the need to sign up for an account. The first 14 seasons are available there.
The Roku Channel also offers ad-supported access to Forensic Files for free with 14 seasons available to stream on-demand. You might already have easy access to The Roku Channel if you have a Roku streaming device or a Roku-powered smart TV.
Amazon free streaming service Freevee has 14 seasons of Forensic Files to stream plus some additional best-of compilation content. It’s free to use with an Amazon account.
How to watch Forensic Files for free from anywhere using a VPN
If you find yourself unable to watch Forensic Files in your region, a VPN can come in handy. With a VPN, you’re able to virtually change the location of your phone, tablet or laptop to a US server and gain access to the above free services from anywhere in the world. Most VPNs, like our Editors’ Choice, ExpressVPN, make it really easy to do this.

Apple released iOS 16.6 beta 1 to public beta testers Monday, less than a week after the release of iOS 16.5. We don’t expect many new features with iOS 16.6 since Apple is expected to announce iOS 17 at its Worldwide Developers Conference in June, but the 16.6 beta sets the groundwork for a new iPhone security tool.
New iOS features can be fun, but we recommend only downloading a beta on something other than your primary phone just in case the new software causes issues. Apple also provides beta testers with an app called Feedback. Testers can notify Apple of any issues in the new software with the app, that way the problem can be addressed before general release.
Here’s what could be coming to your iPhone with iOS 16.6.
iMessage Contact Key Verification
Apple announced iMessage Contact Key Verification in December 2022, and the first iOS 16.6 beta appears to include some of the framework for the tool.
“With iMessage Contact Key Verification, users who face extraordinary digital threats … can choose to further verify that they are messaging only with the people they intend,” Apple wrote in a news release at the time.
The feature doesn’t appear to be operational, but if you go to Settings and search for “Contact Key Verification” in iOS 16.6, you should see an option for the feature. Tapping the feature just opens your Apple ID settings at this time.
Apple hasn’t announced a release date for iOS 16.6. Apple might include more features in iOS 16.6, and there’s no guarantee that Contact Key Verification will be released in the update.
You don’t have to spend a fortune for a decent set of noise-canceling earbuds. And with solid sound quality, active noise cancellation and a transparency mode, the Beats Studio Buds are a great option to consider. Right now, they’re back on sale, this time at Woot where they’re seeing a 35% discount. At $98, this is the lowest we’ve seen them go in 2023 and just $8 more than we saw during holiday sales late last year.
Beats Studio Buds are small, lightweight, comfortable to wear and fit most ears securely. Despite being made by Apple these days, Beats products work great with both iPhones and Android phones and there are plenty of features to love, including quick pairing and sound quality that CNET’s David Carnoy said beats out AirPods Pro and Powerbeats Pro in his review.
Unlike some other Apple-made Beats products, the Studio Buds lack a few of the fanciest features like in-ear detection and the ability to pair to all of your Apple devices via iCloud and switch between them automatically. That probably won’t be a deal-breaker for most folks, especially given the price differential between the Studio Buds and something like the AirPods Pro.
The Beats Studio Buds provide up to 8 hours of listening time on a single charge, with up to 24 hours when combined with the charging case. They are also IPX4-rated sweat and water-resistant, so they’re a solid option to use on your commute or at the gym.
And if the Studio Buds aren’t quite the right fit for you, check out the other Beats headphones deals currently available.
You can never have too much external storage space, whether it’s for backing up important files or transferring data from one PC to another. Samsung’s USB-C flash drive makes it super easy and convenient to tote plenty of files around with a super compact design and a 128GB capacity. Right now, it’s discounted to just $16 at Amazon, 30% off its retail price, dropping it down to a new all-time low.
Most modern laptops have moved to USB-C ports, so this Samsung drive is a future-proof option. It offers USB 3.1 read speeds of up to 400MBps meaning you can move around large amounts of data in seconds. Its 128GB capacity is enough space for tens of thousands of photos and up to 12 hours of 4K video making ideal for backing up your family photo library. And despite its sleek looks, it’s also pretty rugged with resistance to water, shocks, magnets, extreme temperatures and more.
The current sale on this Samsung flash drive forms a part of Amazon’s huge Gaming Week sale, which includes tons of PCs, accessories and games, so we anticipate the price will rise on May 28 when that sale ends, though it’s best to grab one sooner than that to avoid missing out.
