April 5, 20196 yr Way too many . I’ve talked my wife into canceling at least one of Netflix or prime so that’s a start.
April 5, 20196 yr None for my personal stuff. I mooch off my mom’s Netflix. I’m 31 years old. Living the dream.
April 5, 20196 yr NetflixAmazon PrimeApple iCloud (200 gig)...I should get rid of this. I have the unlimited google drive given to Texas alumni. I am old school when it comes to music, prefer to have songs on my phone (currently 2,784). And I also use a “borrowed” copy of photoshop rather than pay for subscription.

April 5, 20196 yr Netflix is one I’ll not give up. Their original productions are better than all the major networks combined. Hulu Live TV. It’s glitchy, so we might dump it, and their cloud dvr doesn’t let you FF through commercials (usually, so this is where glitchy is good). We might just get Hulu + and see how soon the programs we currently record appear in their catalog. Apple iCloud Prime, although I use Bezos less and less these days. HBO Edited April 5, 20196 yr by ImissWallyPryor
April 5, 20196 yr Too many to count. But I’m canceling HBO and other movie channels after Game of Thrones ends.
April 5, 20196 yr I have 6 that I can remember. I think that’s all of them. NetflixSpotifyMotor Trend on Demand (lots of good original video content and TV syndication content from Velocity/Discovery. I have Youtube TV and this adds some stuff that it doesn’t have and is only $5 a month so its good value)Adobe Photography Plan (Photoshop and Lightroom Classic/CC). iCloud 200GB (I think) Xbox Game Pass
April 5, 20196 yr Netflix Prime Multiple Patreon subs (also several yearly subs to a few podcasts) YouTube Premium Just cancelled Audible and Kindle Unlimited

We switch between HBO, Showtime, and sometimes Starz, depending on what we want to binge watch. Not that anyone really cares. Edited April 5, 20196 yr by ImissWallyPryor
April 5, 20196 yr in addition to Netflix and all that shit-- Wife has a monthly wine subscription (2 bottles per month- she drinks the white, I drink the red) and a weekly desert subscription (1 desert per week). I hate the desert one because they'll send 4 cupcakes (or whatever) inside 10 pounds of packaging, including a styrofoam cooler. I don't hate it, but the wine subscription seems a little extravagant. They send expensive wines, but I like chilled, shitty red wine as much as the expensive stuff.

April 5, 20196 yr Prime & Google Play Music. Will do HBO for Game of Thrones then cancel. I think my wife does some workout videos thing. That's it for now. Been thinking about news but haven't decided on one.
April 5, 20196 yr Netflix, Prime (Included w/ membership), Hulu (Free through my son's college) and HBO through GOT finale. I use an HD antenna for local channels and have a Slingbox 500 hooked up to my parent's cable box in Dallas for cable and use their account for streaming. (ESPN/LHN mostly)

April 6, 20196 yr Does it also apply to grad students from the late 90s who no longer have their old UT ID card?Not sure. But as long as you had a UTEID I think you can get one.
April 6, 20196 yr 3 minutes ago, Patricio Swayze said: Not sure. But as long as you had a UTEID I think you can get one. I'm guessing EID stands for electronic ID. If so, I don't rightly know if I was ever given something like that, but I did have a utexas email at one time. Anyway, thanks for the tip. I'll follow up on this.

You can probably go reset your EID and what not. Then get the services.

You can probably go reset your EID and what not. Then get the services. 1 Yeah, I don't recall what that old email address was. I think it was some variation of my name with some numbers and ending in @utexas.edu but rarely, rarely used it. The system certainly predated the Gmail platform and maybe even Microsoft Office and I have ZERO recollection about getting a "new" email address some years later. Come to think of it, I don't even remember what software was used to check that email. Edit: I'm not entirely convinced I was ever issued an EID. Just checked their website for tracking this down, and it looks like I'm going to have to do this the old fashioned way: make a phone call to some administrative backwater office. Dear God, I hope Tex doesn't answer. Edited April 6, 20196 yr by bolverk

April 6, 20196 yr Also, if you haven't cancelled a credit card just to get rid of whatever subs you may or may not have, then you're not really trying.
