These Pixel models won’t be getting monthly updates anymore

Published by skeptic

Summary The Pixel 6 and Pixel 7 series are being moved to a quarterly update schedule. Affected devices include the Pixel 6, 6 Pro, 6a, 7, and 7 Pro. All newer Pixel devices will remain on the monthly update schedule — at least, for now. Google has released the February update for Pixel devices, but some devices are conspicuously not receiving it. This continues a pattern that’s been taking shape since late last year — some older devices seem to be missing Google’s monthly security updates. It’s become increasingly clear that Google is moving the Pixel 6 and Pixel 7 series to a quarterly schedule. Now, it’s important to note that Google has not yet publicly confirmed this new schedule. However, it hasn’t denied it, either. Additionally, some Pixel owners are reaching out to customer support and receiving responses that state that the company is moving “legacy hardware” to a “more sustainable” quarterly schedule. According to this correspondence, the next major system update for the Pixel 7 will be the March Feature Drop. What devices …

Monthly Chinese Horoscopes For Each Animal Sign For February 2026

Monthly Chinese Horoscopes For Each Animal Sign For February 2026

Published by Jenni Sidey

The monthly Chinese horoscope is here for each animal sign in February 2026. This month starts with Rat energy entering Ox energy. The Lunar New Year falls on February 17th. From February 1st to 16th, we have Yin’s feminine energy, and then from the 17th to the 28th, we begin Yang’s masculine energy. It’s time to find the sweet balance between knowing when to give and when to take. Each Sunday has a particular theme. There are four weeks in February. Week one, February 1, begins with the initiation of a new project. Starting new projects requires preparation, and that is what February is all about. This is the time to start something that allows you to connect with your Yin and Yang intuitive energy. The second week, starting on February 8, focuses on closing the door on the past and moving forward with new initiatives. The energy increases, but you will still feel there is a lot to complete. You’re creating a foundation for the future.  Productivity and success are strongest in the third …

Ditch monthly cloud fees with this secure Dropbox alternative for .97

Ditch monthly cloud fees with this secure Dropbox alternative for $99.97

Published by skeptic

TL;DR: Internxt is a secure, privacy-first Dropbox alternative offering 2TB of end-to-end encrypted cloud storage for a one-time payment of $99.97 (reg. $900). It’s easy to forget about cloud storage until you get the dreaded “insufficient storage” notification. What’s harder to forget is the monthly fee that comes with it. For many of us, cloud storage stopped being a convenience and quietly turned into a recurring expense we just accept. Internxt makes the case for doing things differently, offering secure, end-to-end encrypted cloud storage as a one-time, lifetime purchase rather than a subscription. Right now, its 2TB lifetime plan is on sale for $99.97 (reg. $900). Most cloud services prioritize speed and convenience first, then layer security on afterward. Internxt is the reverse of that model, built from the ground up around privacy, using end-to-end encryption and decentralized storage to offer a more secure alternative to mainstream options like Dropbox — and it does so without locking you into monthly payments. What makes Internxt different? Private by design: You retain full control over your files …

Published by Jenni Sidey

Your zodiac sign’s monthly tarot horoscope is here for February 2026. This month starts with a bang, beginning with a Full Leo Moon.

This .97 Microsoft Office deal skips the monthly bill entirely

This $49.97 Microsoft Office deal skips the monthly bill entirely

Published by skeptic

TL;DR: Microsoft Office Home & Business 2021 is on sale for $49.97 (reg. $219), offering a lifetime license with Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, Teams, and OneNote. Subscriptions have their place, but productivity software doesn’t really need to be one of them — especially when it’s something as familiar and widely used as Microsoft Office. Somewhere along the way, there must have been a glitch in the matrix, because buying software quietly turned into renting it forever. Thankfully, Microsoft Office Home & Business 2021 skips that model entirely. Its lifetime license is currently on sale for $49.97 (regularly $219), whether you’re using a Mac or a Windows PC. There’s no need to explain why an Office license still matters. Most people have been using Microsoft Office long before cloud apps and browser-based alternatives became the norm. With this deal, you can install the full Office suite on a single device for lifetime use — at home or at work — without worrying about monthly renewals, annual price hikes, or surprise charges down the line.

Pisces, 2026 is a year that you put a stop to replaying old choices and start living a life that makes you feel proud of what you do and who you are.

Published by Jenni Sidey

The Aquarius 2026 tarot horoscope is about being honest with yourself and knowing what needs to change. Your tarot card for the year is The Devil, Aquarius, which is about attachment and patterns that keep you stuck, even when you know better. Instead of ignoring your problems this year, address and solve them one small step at a time. By replacing them with better habits, you align more authentically with your integrity and character. Your planetary ruler, Uranus, starts the year retrograde in Taurus before stationing direct on February 4. At the start of the year, focus on refining your home life and bringing peace to chaotic situations.
