Netflix shared its latest [earnings report]( last night, and it's not good. Why does it matter? Still seen as the king of the streaming market, Netflix reported it has lost subscribers for the first time in a decade as price hikes, cost of living, and streaming fatigue have all started to take their toll on streaming services. What's my take? Netflix has a number of battles it's now fighting on a number of fronts as it tries to ensure the billions of dollars that it ploughed into content has been worth it. The company claims one of the biggest problems has been password sharing, the idea that you pay for an account and then share the details with everyone and anyone you've ever known (100m of us supposedly) to either spread the cost or to simply be seen as super generous. It's likely to be one of the company's biggest headaches in the near future and could force the company, as suggested by the co-founder and co-CEO Reed Hastings, to look to implement a cheaper [ad-supported tier]( in the future. Drastic measures indeed. But it's also worth noting that the landscape Netflix has operated in over the last 10 years has hugely changed too, it's gone from being the only viable streaming player to now one of many, and without another business to back it up - like Disney, Amazon, Apple and others have, the struggle to retain that crown is going to be tough. Companies embrace Earth Day encouraging us to recycle more Apple What's happened? A range of companies have announced new initiatives ahead of Earth Day (22 April). [Apple]( has released new details on the increased use of recycled content across its products, while [Resideo]( is pushing users to understand that when they upgrade to a smart thermostat, they shouldn't forget to recycling their old system. Why does it matter? The climate crisis isn't something that is going to go away anytime soon. What's my take? Earth Day has quickly become a thing that many companies are now getting behind as a way to show their green credentials, and it's good to see that now many are actually starting to put their money where their mouth is after what seems like years of flag waving. Take [Resideo]( for example, it has announced that it will donate $1 for every like / share / RT of its Earth Day social post, or donate $100 if people post a pic of themselves with one of their smart thermostats. Apple, going for the long-term win, has confirmed it will be using more recycled materials in its products - something that will be welcomed I'm sure. But while companies are doing their bit, we shouldn't forget that we need to do our bit too and make sure that when we upgrade our gadgets we ensure the old ones find a new home, be that someone else, or the recycling centre, rather than just heading to landfill.

The Surface Laptop Studio sees Microsoft try to cram all the special features of the Studio 2 all-in-one PC into a laptop. Our quick verdict The Microsoft Surface Laptop Studio hides its special skills using smart and careful design, making it the best portable Surface for designers and artists. However, there are still clear ways to improve it in a second-generation model - not least because the price is rather high for the better-specced versions.
