Spotify is one of the world’s main streaming services. With over 400 million active users, the music app helped define the end of CDs. On top of that, it’s attractive to every kind of listener, even gamers, as many games have their soundtracks listed on Spotify’s collection. But how do you cancel Spotify Premium? Even though it provides free features, Spotify is a freemium service. Users who pay for Premium enjoy more content, such as adless songs that can be […]

How To Cancel Amazon Prime https://culturedvultures.com/cancel-amazon-prime/ https://culturedvultures.com/cancel-amazon-prime/#disqus_thread Mon, 25 Apr 2022 14:04:11 +0000 https://culturedvultures.com/?p=178261

Amazon Prime is a subscription service with unique perks. To some people, the amount of advantages it offers is worth the pay. But what if you want to cancel Amazon Prime? If you’re a regular online shopper, then you’re probably aware of what Prime subscribers get. A few worth mentioning are early access to flash sales, streaming services (including Luna, a cloud gaming platform), Prime Video, faster shipping options, and reading perks, such as Kindle audible narration. Still, even with […]

How To Cancel Apple TV Plus https://culturedvultures.com/cancel-apple-tv-plus/ https://culturedvultures.com/cancel-apple-tv-plus/#disqus_thread Sun, 24 Apr 2022 08:14:14 +0000 https://culturedvultures.com/?p=178127 Apple TV+

While most people are aware of Netflix originals and Disney Plus, very few places talk about a certain streaming service, with its own original movies and shows: Apple TV Plus. But how do you cancel Apple TV Plus if you’re a subscriber? Not to be confused with the Apple TV device, Apple TV Plus works a lot like Netflix, being a service that is cheaper than cable TV. The content it provides, though, may look limited to some binge-watchers, especially […]

Can You Use The Pebble Watch in 2020? https://culturedvultures.com/use-pebble-watch-2020/ https://culturedvultures.com/use-pebble-watch-2020/#disqus_thread Tue, 17 Nov 2020 15:00:30 +0000 https://culturedvultures.com/?p=145570 Pebble Watch 2020

Smartwatches aren’t a new thing — you can even trace their use back to the 1980s. But it’s only within the last decade that they’ve come into many people’s spheres of daily use. Both Google and Apple, as expected, are major players in this market, with their WearOS and Apple Watch respectively. But they don’t totally control the market as they do with their smartphone operating systems, with companies like Samsung, Fitbit and Huawei all having solid offerings in this […]

Drown Tactile Earphones REVIEW – The Next Audio Revolution? https://culturedvultures.com/drown-earphones-review/ https://culturedvultures.com/drown-earphones-review/#disqus_thread Fri, 14 Aug 2020 11:42:06 +0000 https://culturedvultures.com/?p=138627 Drown earphones review

I’m always cubical when a company declares their new product as being the Next Big Thing. It sets a standard too early, an expectation that they may never be able to realistically match. Drown, a new audio company who found success on Indiegogo, are promising a brand new way of experiencing audio with their tactile earphones. But is it as big a deal as they suggest? The technology behind these new earphones is complex, perhaps too complex to boil down […]

BraZen Sentinel Elite PC Gaming Chair REVIEW https://culturedvultures.com/brazen-sentinel-elite-pc-gaming-chair-review/ https://culturedvultures.com/brazen-sentinel-elite-pc-gaming-chair-review/#disqus_thread Wed, 24 Jun 2020 10:00:33 +0000 https://culturedvultures.com/?p=135230 Brazen Elite Gaming Chair

There are a lot of gaming chair brands out there. Like a lot lot. It’s impossible to keep up with them all, and also quite the task to afford some of them — so many chairs cost more than your gaming setup. With the BraZen Sentinel Elite PC Gaming Chair, though, you have a decent, if certainly still flawed, cheaper option. Costing £159.95 at this time of writing, the BraZen Sentinel Elite PC Gaming Chair has all the hallmarks of […]

Is The Xperia 10 Plus A Good Fit For SailfishOS? https://culturedvultures.com/is-the-xperia-10-plus-a-good-fit-for-sailfishos/ https://culturedvultures.com/is-the-xperia-10-plus-a-good-fit-for-sailfishos/#disqus_thread Wed, 22 Jan 2020 09:50:16 +0000 https://culturedvultures.com/?p=124668 Xperia SailfishOS

There’s little choice outside of the duopoly that Google and Apple hold over the smartphone market. Apart from Android and iOS, choices are hard to come by, and buying new handsets preinstalled with anything but the big two is nigh on impossible. However, there has been a small Finnish company plowing away at the alternative smartphone operating system market since 2011. Jolla is a company founded by ex-Nokia employees, many of whom worked on a defunct OS called MeeGo. MeeGo […]

In Memoriam: Farewell, Windows Mobile https://culturedvultures.com/in-memoriam-farewell-windows-mobile/ https://culturedvultures.com/in-memoriam-farewell-windows-mobile/#disqus_thread Wed, 08 Jan 2020 11:43:13 +0000 https://culturedvultures.com/?p=123935 Windows Phone

This past December saw the end of what was, at one stage, the third most used smartphone operating system, behind iOS and Android. While it was considered by many to be the black sheep of the smartphone OS market, I actually found it to be pretty darn good, which is why I am mourning the loss of Windows Mobile. I must admit I have not used Windows Mobile for some time. I owned one of the first Nokia smartphones to […]

3 New Private Smartphones For If You Like Your Personal Data https://culturedvultures.com/new-private-smartphones/ https://culturedvultures.com/new-private-smartphones/#disqus_thread Fri, 22 Nov 2019 12:47:11 +0000 https://culturedvultures.com/?p=122112 Phone

The ‘smartphone generation’ could also be called the ‘data generation’. With the days of the ‘Wild West Internet’ drawing to a close, we’ve seen more and more people drawn to a number of particular services. There aren’t many of us that don’t use the likes of Facebook, Twitter, Spotify, YouTube or others on a daily basis, and I am sure there are people out there who rarely rely on websites outside of the few dozen main websites. The culture of […]

This Chrome Extension Turns World Leaders Into Lovecraftian Nightmares https://culturedvultures.com/this-chrome-extension-turns-world-leaders-into-lovecraftian-nightmares/ https://culturedvultures.com/this-chrome-extension-turns-world-leaders-into-lovecraftian-nightmares/#disqus_thread Fri, 29 Mar 2019 12:24:05 +0000 https://culturedvultures.com/?p=101428 The Sinking City

We don’t get political often here at Cultured Vultures, but when we do, you better believe it’s for a wholly silly Chrome extension that turns world Great Old Ones into Elder Gods. “We are all living in a Lovecraft story” is a Chrome extension made by the same guys who are making the upcoming The Sinking City: a Lovecraftian detective game. While that looks like a fascinatingly grim time, this extension is not. The description: Replace the world’s Great Old […]

Second Generation Google Glass Leaked https://culturedvultures.com/second-generation-google-glass-leaked/ https://culturedvultures.com/second-generation-google-glass-leaked/#disqus_thread Wed, 06 Mar 2019 14:59:30 +0000 https://culturedvultures.com/?p=96173 Google

Thanks to a new report from industry insider 9to5Google, the second iteration of 2017’s not-so-great Google Glass Enterprise Edition is in the works. The report claims that the hardware would include updated specs and a USB-C port. The leaks also include some previously unseen early production pictures of the 2017 follow-up that have begun to surface on the web. “The device apparently has a Snapdragon 710, an integrated LTE modem, support for Bluetooth 5.0 and 802.11ac Wi-Fi,” says Stephen Hall […]

Bionik Mantis PSVR Headset REVIEW https://culturedvultures.com/bionik-mantis-psvr-headset-review/ https://culturedvultures.com/bionik-mantis-psvr-headset-review/#disqus_thread Tue, 29 Jan 2019 08:37:31 +0000 https://culturedvultures.com/?p=92301 Bionik Mantis

Cable management is not something that could ever be listed on my C.V. under key skills. Despite being reprimanded for it at a young age, my cabling still resembles a jungle in a post-apocalyptic world. It was bad before I picked up a PSVR, but now it’s even worse — I was too scared to even look behind my television and unearth my headset for months, so it just ended up collecting dust. The Mantis from Bionik, a pair of […]

Turtle Beach Elite Pro 2 For Xbox One REVIEW – The Expense Of Excellence https://culturedvultures.com/turtle-beach-elite-pro-2-review/ https://culturedvultures.com/turtle-beach-elite-pro-2-review/#disqus_thread Tue, 20 Nov 2018 09:18:41 +0000 https://culturedvultures.com/?p=87348 Elite Pro 2

Gaming headsets can be a costly investment, as they’ve gone from simply being the means to talk online with your friends to offering enhanced and immersive auditory experiences that can further engage with a game’s world or give you that competitive edge in online games. Turtle Beach have always offered the best headsets for both communication and game sound and the Elite Pro 2 + SuperAmp package is no exception. Working with prominent competitive eSports teams like OpTic Gaming and […]

Google Plus Is Shutting Down (And Not Just Because It’s Terrible) https://culturedvultures.com/google-plus-is-shutting-down/ https://culturedvultures.com/google-plus-is-shutting-down/#disqus_thread Tue, 09 Oct 2018 10:43:29 +0000 https://culturedvultures.com/?p=83502 Google Plus

Sad news for the four people who still use Google Plus (or Google+, if you fancy): the social media platform will be shutting down in August 2019. Google confirmed the news in a blog post after revealing that they had found some security flaws in Google Plus that potentially put users’ data at risk, though they did not report it at all, which is a bit questionable. The euthanisation will be as part of Google Strobe, which is an initiative […]

Talk about someone’s ears burning: just after we were discussing the rise of game streaming, Google have today confirmed their plans to become a part of the, ahem, game with Project Stream. The initiative will allow you to play games directly through the Chrome browser, and they’re going all out on their trial run. Those who are accepted to the beta (sign-ups here) will be able to play Assassin’s Creed Odyssey this Friday, October 5th through their browser at no […]
