If you reside in the UK and have been waiting for Disney Plus to become officially available, the wait is nearly over. Starting March 24, customers across the UK, Italy, Spain, and more will have access to all the content, and signing up before then scores you a nice extra discount on the annual subscription. Normally, Disney would charge £59.99 for the yearly subscription, but right now you can save £10 on that price, making it just £49.99 for 12 months.

This breaks down to just £4.17 per month, which is around the same price as a single cup of coffee. The offer is available through the end of March 23, and if you sign up on March 24 you’ll be stuck paying the full £59.99 price. Given the recent Coronavirus concerns, odds are that you’ll be spending much more time indoors, whether you planned for it or not. Streaming services like Disney Plus are a great way to help pass that time.

Tablet keyboards suck, and a fresh way might be the right way.

Happy Saturday-ing at home, peeps! Today we’re going to talk about tablets!

It seems like most people on the Android side of tech aren’t really into tablets, not even the ones who run things at Google. I fall into that category, but a big reason why is that they really aren’t that great when you try to get any work done with one. You need an external keyboard (and maybe even a mouse) to type more than a few words and tablet keyboards have a long history of being giant pieces of crap that you only used because there was no better alternative.

I get it. A tablet is designed to be light and portable and if you attach a substantial keyboard to one like ASUS did with the old Transformer series you end up with a laptop, so you might as well be using a Chromebook or a MacBook Air. Samsung must know this because it tried to address the situation with the Galaxy Tab S6’s first-party keyboard that was stiff and sturdy in some of…

The feature is currently only available on the Photos web app, unfortunately.

What you need to know

Google is adding new ‘uploaded from’ and ‘shared by’ categories to images’ metadata in Photos.
As the names suggest, these bits of information can help you more quickly identify where an image comes from.
The change is only live in the Photos web app, however, with no word on when/if the iOS and Android apps will also get the feature.

If you’ve got an extensive photo library — and who doesn’t these days? — it might be hard to keep track of exactly where everything’s coming from. To help with that dilemma, Google has updated the ‘Info’ panel in Photos to show more two bits of information about each file.

These are ‘uploaded from’ and ‘shared by.’ As their names suggest, both pieces of metadata are designed to help you narrow down an image’s provenance with greater specificity.

The ‘uploaded from’ field shows whether the image was uploaded via an Android or iOS device, the web…
