The streaming war is on, and relevance will be a battle fought over and over; however, this is still ultimately a tussle for the most eyeballs, not the most discerning ones. What streaming platform has the most captivating content?

If we missed your favorite, comment below.
The WIRED team has been working on several features around streaming, let's start with...
As streaming platforms like HBO Max and Disney+ become more popular, Netflix is losing its power. wired.trib.al/q7ETcMk
Amazon has continued to create science-fiction programming over the years, and it ranges, on the smell-o-meter, from the merely obnoxious to the just plain noxious. wired.trib.al/KgATlhr
Although, streaming isn’t Amazon’s core business. The company uses a very old-school business strategy: Always keep them coming back for more. wired.trib.al/XxCnBSx

Struggling to remember important things? You may not get as good as multi-time Memory Champion Nelson Dellis, but even a little bit of the strategies the pros use can go a long way. Here's a step-by-step guide to improving your memory: wired.trib.al/oF9mNZm [THREAD] 1/6
1. Start With Strong Images
Attach what you want to remember to a particularly strong image. The best are the ones you can almost feel, smell, and see to engage multiple senses and encourage your brain to store the memories. 2/6
2. Put Those Images in a Location
Now place those strong images throughout a location you know well—like your house. The weirder the better. This is called a memory palace, and how you place them can help you memorize things in order. 3/6

Browser extensions are extremely useful and generally just make life on the web more convenient, but they have the potential to be a serious security risk. wired.trib.al/Mmn3yZd 1/
But don’t let that discourage you from using your favorite extensions. To help you make sure your browser extensions are safe, here's how to run an effective audit. 2/
Always do your research before installing an add-on—check the reviews from other users and reviews on the web. See when the extension was last updated and be sure to look for indications that the add-on has changed hands recently. 3/

But now a spy swims among them: Mesobot. 2/
In the journal Science Robotics, a team of engineers and oceanographers share how they got a new autonomous underwater vehicle to lock onto movements of organisms and follow them around the ocean’s “twilight zone.” 3/

On February 6, Jeffrey Fang became the ire of the internet when he left his kids in a van to chase a thief who stole his phone.

It never would have been a story if the van hadn’t then been carjacked. wired.trib.al/L7t68zZ 1/5
Fang was a DoorDash delivery driver, but even a top earner like him would have his profits washed out by a babysitter. So on this particular night, his kids were along for the ride. 2/5
On one such delivery, a thief stole his phone and dove into a getaway car. His phone was his moneymaking tool. So he chased after it. 3/5
