Hulu plans $10 price increase for Live TV subscribers

If you are a Hulu + Live TV customer and felt lucky that your provider hadn’t raised their prices as others have, well, that comes to an end next month. Hulu has announced that they will raise their price by ten dollars for subscribers of their Hulu + Live TV service effective December 18, 2020. Their live TV streaming service will now cost you $65/month. Hulu has followed suit with other live TV streaming providers who have increased their prices this past year. Many of these streaming providers that offer live TV programming are approaching cable TV package prices. Remember when YouTube TV was $30/month? Those were the days.
#WindowsUglySweater is back!

It’s back again for the holiday season, and this year it shows-off everybody’s favorite 8-bit drawing app – MS Paint! The previous years’ releases included sweaters for Windows 95 and Windows XP, and although they were available this morning, they have since sold out. If the MS Paint version of the sweater isn’t your jam, you can add it to your wish list or share your email, and they’re let you know when some become available. And not only does your sweater purchase cloak you in some sweet nostalgia, but it also helps a great cause. $20 from every sweater purchase goes to GirlsWhoCode, a non-profit whose mission is to close the gender gap in technology and to change the image of what a programmer looks like and does. And on top of that, Microsoft will contribute a minimum of $50,000. That’s goodness, all-around. So, go get your sweater here!
