The Disney+ Subscription Card is the ultimate last-minute Christmas gift

By Lucas Coll Published April 21, 2022

Christmas is only a few days away now, and with retailers and delivery partners overloaded due to the increase in online shopping this year, it’s most likely too late to order physical gifts online and have them arrive in time (unless you’re willing to shell out the extra cash for express shipping, although even that window is rapidly closing). Thankfully, digital subscriptions make for excellent last-minute Christmas gifts, so if you’re frantically shopping around online for something you can give on the 25th, then the Disney+ Subscription Card might be just the ticket. Read on to find out more.

In an increasingly crowded field of online streaming services, Disney+ is a relative newcomer to the scene. It quickly caught on a big way, however, and now serves as an all-in-one streaming hub for everything Disney. That huge (and growing) content library includes Disney and Pixar films along with everything else that exists in the House of Mouse, such as Marvel movies, National Geographic productions, exclusive Disney+ shows, and Star Wars films and series like The Mandalorian. Disney+ even has the complete 30-year catalog of The Simpsons now, including holiday specials.

All that makes the Disney+ Subscription Card is the perfect last-minute Christmas gift for Disney, Marvel, and Star Wars fans. Disney+ is compatible with virtually all modern devices capable of streaming as well. That covers PC web browsers, mobile devices, smart TVs, and even Xbox and PlayStation gaming consoles. Even if you’re thinking of getting the Disney+ Subscription Card as a last-minute Christmas gift for someone who isn’t an avid streamer, you can rest assured that they’ll still be able to enjoy full access to the entire Disney+ catalog of shows and movies.

Gifting a Disney+ Subscription Card could not be easier. You simply pay $70 for a year’s worth of Disney+ to be emailed to the recipient on a day of your choosing — most likely Christmas Day, if that’s what you’re shopping for. The subscription will be activated when it’s sent out so not a day is missed. Note, however, that the one-year Disney+ Subscription Card can only be redeemed by new members; current members cannot use the card for their existing subscription.

YouTube is reworking the Home page with Custom Feeds and quicker access to Subscriptions

Saved Custom Feeds are rolling out as YouTube also experiments with a redesigned Home navigation bar.

YouTube is changing how its Home page works, giving viewers more control over what shows up there and making some of the app’s most-used sections easier to reach. Custom Feeds are now replacing the existing topic chips for eligible users, while YouTube is also testing a redesigned top bar on mobile that moves Subscriptions closer to the Home feed.

YouTube first started experimenting with Custom Feeds earlier this year, letting you type out what you wanted to watch and turning that request into its own stream of recommendations. Now, the feature is starting to look less like a side experiment and more like something YouTube actually wants people to use as part of their everyday Home page.

EXCLUSIVE: How Klara and the Sun warns of a future where humans compete with AI

What Does Klara and the Sun Say About the Dangers of AI?

Jenna Ortega stars in Klara and the Sun.

Artificial intelligence has already changed people's lives, both at home and at work, but what happens when people start treating AI as a replacement for their loved ones? Filmmaker Taika Waititi explores this terrifying idea with his new sci-fi movie, Klara and the Sun. Based on the novel by Kazuo Ishiguro, the film follows Klara, a solar-powered "Artificial Friend" played by Jenna Ortega, as she bonds with Josie, a sick teenager.

Klara and the Sun paints an unusual, unsettling portrait of a world with AI. Essentially The Wizard of Oz meets Blade Runner, Waititi's dystopian film is filled with his brand of vibrant visuals and quirky humor. But beneath all that, the film tells a deeper, more serious story about AI and whether it can cause the downfall of society and human connection.

Spotify has kicked 50 million AI slop tracks out of your recommendations

Spotify is cleaning up your music recommendations, and AI-generated spam is finally getting the boot.

Spotify on iPhone

Finding new music on Spotify is one of those little joys that can turn an ordinary day around. You play a song you love, let the recommendations take over, and occasionally stumble upon an artist you wish you’d discovered sooner. But with AI making it ridiculously easy to produce music in bulk, not everything landing in your recommendations deserves a listen.

Spotify knows this is becoming a problem, and it’s acting on it. The streaming giant has revealed it filtered more than 50 million spammy, low-quality tracks from its recommendations this year. That’s on top of another 75 million tracks it has completely removed from the platform for repeatedly or seriously breaking its rules. And Spotify isn’t stopping there — it wants to make sure actual artists aren’t buried under an endless stream of AI-generated content.
