Prime Video is a one-stop shop for the best video streaming subscriptions
When I hear the name Prime Video, I immediately think about what the subscription streamer has to offer in the way of original content. Hit shows like Fallout and The Boys spring to mind, as well as quick access to new movies that I can rent or buy and then watch at my own leisure. Prime Video has so much more to offer, though.
My friends keep telling me I should check out Yellowjackets, available on Showtime. With the Prime Video app, I can search for the series and watch teasers for the show or even an entire episode for free. If I want to keep watching, I can simply subscribe to Paramount+ within the Prime Video app and continue my binge-watching spree — all without ever needing to download and launch another app or visit a second website. I might even get lucky and find a 7-day free trial waiting for me.
If Yellowjackets isn't scratching the itch, I can decide instead to check out the wholesome Emmy-winning series Ted Lasso on Apple TV+. I can subscribe to Apple TV+ right inside Prime Video (and get a good deal with a 2-month trial run at $4.99 a month, then just $9.99 a month after that.)
Prime Video subscriptions provide a unique opportunity to mix and match your content to your specific tastes. Maybe you're looking for your comfort anime and just want to binge Fruits Basket on Crunchyroll (available for just 99 cents the first two months, then $11.99 a month thereafter) or maybe you want to expand your options with a blast from the past like Vampire Hunter D on HiDive.
Sometimes chilling out with a PBS Documentary or BBC Select documentary can help you wind down for the night, or you can spice up your evenings with a new romance from Passionflix or Hallmark+.
Regardless of where your entertainment interests lie, you can add your subscription (or subscriptions, we don't judge!) of choice to your Prime Video viewing lineup and have even more access to the best movies and shows streaming has to offer.
Subscriptions on Prime Video prove you really can have it all in today's digital entertainment and streaming landscape. A simple search in the Prime Video app brings up a near-endless supply of new and classic movies, documentaries, reality TV, and award-winning series that I can't wait to tell all my friends to watch next. It's all available in one neat little hub that is easy to manage, allowing me to subscribe and unsubscribe as my tastes and viewing preferences change.
The Prime Video hub makes it easy to keep track of how much I'm spending on my subscriptions so that I'm not surprised by unexpected renewals. With all these great deals on add-on subscriptions, I can feel free to try out new series and movies without any obligation for a long-term subscription. If you're tired of downloading and juggling a new app for every show you want to watch, give Prime Video subscriptions a try.

Bill Maher says he was wrong about Trump's tariffs — why the comedian is suddenly walking back his calls for catastrophe
Moneywise and Yahoo Finance LLC may earn commission or revenue through links in the content below. Love him or hate him, Bill Maher isn't shy about eating his own words. On an episode of his Club Random podcast, the comedian says he was wrong about President Donald Trump's sweeping tariffs. 'Tariffs. Now, I remember, I, along with probably most people, were saying at the beginning, 'Oh, you know, by the 4th of July the economy was going to be tanked by then.' And I was kind of, like, 'Well, that seems right to me.' But that didn't happen,' Maher said in a clip posted July 28. 'The truth is, I don't know what [Trump's] strategy is. But look, the stock market is at record highs. I know not everybody lives by the stock market, but I also drive around, I don't see a country in a depression at all — I see people out there just living their lives. And I would have thought — and I've got to own it — that these tariffs were going to sink this economy by this time. And they didn't.' Don't miss Thanks to Jeff Bezos, you can now become a landlord for as little as $100 — and no, you don't have to deal with tenants or fix freezers. Here's how I'm 49 years old and have nothing saved for retirement — what should I do? Don't panic. Here are 5 of the easiest ways you can catch up (and fast) Want an extra $1,300,000 when you retire? Dave Ramsey says this 7-step plan 'works every single time' to kill debt, get rich in America — and that 'anyone' can do it Many experts were — and several remain — critical of Trump's trade policies. Former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers called Trump's tariffs 'a self-inflicted wound on the American economy,' while Nobel Prize-winning economist Paul Krugman said they 'create an impossible environment for business.' To be sure, the uncertainty surrounding tariffs did rattle Wall Street. Trump's first 100 days were the worst start for stocks under a president since the Nixon era. But they've since bounced back, and as Maher alluded to, major indices like the S&P 500 and Nasdaq have hit new all-time highs. The blunt reality? While Trump's tariffs may have consequences — particularly on consumer prices — the U.S. economy remains a global powerhouse. That enduring strength is why investing legend Warren Buffett has long urged investors to stay optimistic about America's future. As Buffett wrote in his 2022 letter to Berkshire Hathaway shareholders: 'I have yet to see a time when it made sense to make a long-term bet against America. And I doubt very much that any reader of this letter will have a different experience in the future.' Here's a look at two simple ways to bet on America. Own a slice of America — the Buffett way For Buffett, betting on the U.S. is a no-brainer — thanks to his unwavering faith in the resilience and growth of American businesses. 'American business — and consequently a basket of stocks — is virtually certain to be worth far more in the years ahead,' Buffett wrote in his 2016 letter to shareholders. You don't need to be a stock-picking expert to follow Buffett's playbook. His advice to individual investors is as simple as it is enduring: 'In my view, for most people, the best thing to do is own the S&P 500 index fund,' he famously stated. This straightforward approach gives investors exposure to 500 of America's largest companies across various industries, providing diversified exposure without the need for constant monitoring or active trading. The beauty of this approach is its accessibility — anyone, regardless of wealth, can take advantage of it. Even small amounts can grow over time with tools like Acorns, a popular app that automatically invests your spare change. Signing up for Acorns takes just minutes: link your cards, and Acorns will round up each purchase to the nearest dollar, investing the difference — your spare change — into a diversified portfolio. With Acorns, you can invest in an S&P 500 ETF with as little as $5 — and, if you sign up today, Acorns will add a $20 bonus to help you begin your investment journey.

A recent Zillow analysis estimated the housing shortage to be 4.7 million homes. Even Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell has acknowledged the severity of the issue. 'The real issue with housing is that we have had, and are on track to continue to have, not enough housing,' he stated in September 2024. For investors, the housing supply gap presents a unique opportunity to invest in America. Housing demand isn't going away — regardless of who's in the White House, people will always need a place to live. In fact, Buffett has often pointed to U.S. real estate as a prime example of a productive, income-generating asset. In 2022, Buffett stated that if you offered him '1% of all the apartment houses in the country' for $25 billion, he would 'write you a check.' Of course, you don't need billions to benefit from real estate investing. Crowdfunding platforms like Arrived offer an easier way to get exposure to this income-generating asset class. Backed by world-class investors like Jeff Bezos, Arrived allows you to invest in shares of rental homes with as little as $100, all without the hassle of mowing lawns, fixing leaky faucets or handling difficult tenants. The process is simple: browse a curated selection of homes that have been vetted for their appreciation and income potential. Once you find a property you like, select the number of shares you'd like to purchase, and then sit back as you start receiving any positive rental income distributions from your investment. Another option is First National Realty Partners (FNRP), which allows accredited investors to diversify their portfolio through grocery-anchored commercial properties without taking on the responsibilities of being a landlord. With a minimum investment of $50,000, investors can own a share of properties leased by national brands like Whole Foods, Kroger and Walmart, which provide essential goods to their communities. Thanks to Triple Net (NNN) leases, accredited investors are able to invest in these properties without worrying about tenant costs cutting into their potential returns. Simply answer a few questions — including how much you would like to invest — to start browsing their full list of available properties.

Is Apple getting ready to launch a PlayStation and Xbox competitor?
The Apple TV is probably my favorite device that Apple makes. While the Apple TV app is in dire need of some basic improvements, the hardware box itself is a standout—especially compared to competitors like Amazon's Fire TV and Roku's streaming devices. This is largely thanks to the stellar Siri Remote, which makes navigating the device with your fingers or voice a cinch, and the powerful Apple silicon chip inside that makes the Apple TV's operating system, tvOS, run buttery smooth. However, when it comes to being a device meant to sit at the center of your living room as an all-encompassing entertainment hub, the Apple TV is lacking in one big department: gaming. The Apple TV is technically a gaming console, since it can play rudimentary games and supports third-party console controllers. But no one is likely to replace their PlayStation or Xbox with one any time soon, because the current Apple TV lacks the processing power to run console-quality games. Yet perhaps that could be changing. Recently, I've noticed that Apple has been making moves that suggest the company may be on the cusp of turning the Apple TV into a full-blown PlayStation and Xbox competitor. Doing so would open up another potential billion-dollar revenue stream for the company. The new Apple Games app is currently MIA from tvOS 26 At Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) this year, the company unveiled a new cross-device app called Apple Games. The app acts as a central hub and launcher for all the games you've ever bought on Apple's App Store or have access to via the company's Apple Arcade subscription service. The Apple Games app also gives you quick access to game events and challenges, and helps you discover new games to play and see what games your friends are playing. In other words, the new Apple Games app is similar to the PlayStation 5 Game Hub and the Xbox Dashboard —the interfaces on the consoles that significantly differentiate the living room gaming experience from PCs. Apple announced that Apple Games is coming to the iPhone, iPad, and Mac with iOS 26, iPadOS 26, and macOS 26 this fall. But the new app is conspicuously absent from the Apple TV's next operating system, tvOS 26, which also ships this fall. This is a notable omission, especially considering that Apple markets its Apple Arcade gaming service as a core feature of the Apple TV experience. It also offers thousands of mobile-level games through the tvOS App Store. The more I think about the Apple Games omission from tvOS 26, the more it makes sense—if Apple is set to turn the Apple TV into a true gaming console but doesn't want anyone to know it yet. The next Apple TV is rumored to have two key hardware improvements essential to top-line gaming consoles Apple doesn't update the Apple TV as often as it does iPhones or even its iPads. Typically, years pass between Apple TV updates. The most recent Apple TV, the Apple TV 4K, was last updated in November 2022, nearly three years ago. That means it's ripe for an update this year. Rumors suggest that a new Apple TV is indeed coming later this year and that it will feature two significant hardware upgrades—ones that would enable it to become a true gaming console. The first is an updated chipset. The current Apple TV 4K features the Apple A15 Bionic chip, the same one found in the iPhone 13 from 2021. Most people expect the next Apple TV to get a significant upgrade—perhaps to the A18 or A18 Pro, found in the current iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Pro series, or perhaps even the unreleased A19 chip, which will go into this year's iPhone 17 series. It's also possible Apple could put the M1 or M2 chip, previously found in Macs and iPads, into the new Apple TV. This jump from the A15 to the A18, A19, M1, or M2 would give the Apple TV the performance boost it needs to run AAA console games, such as the Resident Evil series from Capcom, which are currently capable of running (with controller support, no less) on the iPhone 15 Pro, thanks to its A17 Pro chip. Another upgrade the next Apple TV is expected to get is a new Apple-designed Wi-Fi and Bluetooth chipset that will support the Wi-Fi 7 standard (via MacRumors). This standard offers lower latency and faster Wi-Fi speeds than the current Wi-Fi 6 standard—something critical for gaming consoles and the bandwidth-hungry games that stream to them. The leading games console, the PlayStation 5 Pro, currently offers Wi-Fi 7 support. In other words, the hardware components Apple needs to turn the next Apple TV into a PlayStation and Xbox competitor are all in the pipeline. And, increasingly, so is something else the Apple TV would need to become a true gaming console: increasing commitment to Apple's platforms from major games studios. More AAA games are hitting the Mac—and iPhone—than ever before In the video game industry, the top games are known as AAA (triple-A) titles. These are the games with the most advanced graphics and the biggest budgets, and are frequently the highlights of the console gaming experience. Historically, AAA game developers have shied away from releasing their major titles on the Mac (the Apple device with the hardware power most comparable to professional gaming consoles). But in the past year, that's changed a lot, thanks to Apple's move to make game development on the Mac easier and more cost-effective than ever, thanks to tools like the company's Game Porting Toolkit 3 and the hardware-accelerated graphics API, Metal 4, which makes graphics-intensive games look better on Mac and iPhone. Considering Apple devices are more popular than ever, game studios stand to financially benefit by bringing their biggest titles to Apple's platforms and their millions of users. In July alone, two major AAA titles made their debut on the Mac: CD Projekt Red's Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate and Deep Silver's Dead Island 2. Other major AAA titles have also been released on the Mac over the past few years, including Ubisoft's Assassin's Creed: Shadows and Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown, Remedy's Control Ultimate Edition, Kojima Productions' Death Stranding Director's Cut, Round 8 Studio's Lies of P, 11 Bit Studios' Frostpunk 2, and Capcom's Resident Evil series remastered editions. Additionally, more AAA titles are coming to the Mac this year, including IO Interactive's Hitman World of Assassination, InZOI Studio's InZOI, and Pearl Abyss' Crimson Desert. Most of these games require an M1 series chip or later, found in the company's Apple Silicon Macs released since 2020. Some, like the Resident Evil series, can even run on the A17 Pro and later, first introduced in 2023. Apple's current A18 Pro is roughly equivalent to the M1 in terms of performance, and if Apple puts it, the M1 or M2, or the upcoming A19 Pro, inside the next Apple TV, as expected, there is no reason these AAA games that currently run on the Mac couldn't run on the new Apple TV. And if that happens, the Apple TV becomes a professional-level gaming console. Turning the Apple TV into a gaming console makes sense for Apple's ecosystem and the company's bottom line When Apple announced the upcoming Apple Games app for all its devices except the Apple TV, it stood out as a glaring hole in the company's lineup, especially since Apple Games is a natural fit for the Apple TV. But when you take in the odd omission, along with recent rumors that the next Apple TV is set to get powerful new CPU and wireless chipsets, and the flood of new AAA titles hitting the Mac and iPhone this year, things start to look a lot clearer. Yet something else leads me to believe that Apple could be turning the Apple TV into a gaming console this year: the company's history of being unwilling to let software announcements spoil new hardware features. In the past, Apple has withheld software announcements at WWDC to avoid revealing upcoming hardware improvements to its devices. The AAA titles available on the Mac appear in Apple Games on the macOS 26 beta. If Apple had previewed Apple Games on the tvOS 26 beta, Mac games that run on the new unreleased Apple TV, including these AAA titles, might have also shown there. That would spoil a major, as-yet-unannounced feature for the as-yet-unannounced Apple TV. Of course, all this is just conjecture on my part. Still, all the signs seem to be pointing to Apple TV becoming a true gaming console. This would make a lot of business sense for Apple. At price points of $129 or $149, depending on whether you want more storage and an ethernet connection, the current Apple TV 4K is much more expensive than such competitors as the Roku Streaming Stick 4K ($49), the Roku Ultra ($99), and the Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K ($49). However, if Apple gives the new Apple TV gaming console capabilities, the current $129/$149 price suddenly looks like a bargain. A triple-A gaming experience on the Apple TV would be a unique selling point that Roku or Amazon couldn't compete with. It could also give Apple a major new revenue stream in the form of 30% App Store commissions on AAA titles sold through the tvOS App Store. As of 2024, the global AAA gaming market is valued at approximately $75 billion annually, according to a July 2025 Business Research Insights report. It's expected to grow to nearly $108 billion by 2033. But most of all, a new Apple TV with console gaming capabilities would further solidify the device as the digital heart of the living room and smart home, giving users another reason to stay within Apple's ecosystem, both inside and outside the house—an ancillary benefit Apple likely finds invaluable.

Actors, writers, and studios earn money when you pay to watch legally. YesMovies ag probably does & #39;t have permission from these owners. It shares their work without paying them. This is like taking something that isn't yours. It's against the law in most places. 2. It's Full of Risks: o Tricky Ads & Pop-ups: The site floods you with ads. These pop up constantly, play loud sounds, and try to trick you into clicking.

These are denies designed to make you download powerful software or give away personal information. o Unsafe Links: It's easy to accidentally click dangerous links hidden among the ads and fake buttons. ".ag" is just the website's address ending (like .com or .net). It stands for Antigua and any other country. o Sites like this often use unusual addresses (like .ag, .to, .rs) to try and hide or make it harder for police to shut them down. It doesn't make them legal or safe. 4. Poor Quality & Annoyance: o Videos might be blurry, jumpy, or stop working. o You waste lots of time closing annoying ads just to try and watch. o Finding the real "Play" button can be like solving a puzzle.

The Simple Truth About YesMovies ag (2026): It's a free movie website with a name that changes (like adding "2026"). It likely breaks the law by showing content without permission. Using it is risky – full of bad ads, viruses, and scams. The ".ag" address is often a red flag for unsafe sites. Safer, legal options exist, including free ones with ads. In the short term, YesMovies (ag) offers free movies and TV shows, but it is not a safe or legal choice. While the huge free library seems handy, using sites like this carries real risks. Yesmovie AG is free for non-paid content. You must be watching anything, top-ups, mail, powerful malware, or even legal trouble, because it does not have permission to share the content. Free streaming can be approved, but protecting your powerful device and respecting the maker is more important. For peace of mind, it is always better to use official streaming services you trust.
