2. Comcast’s New Streaming Store Features A Cast Of Hundreds

Comcast launched something called SteamStore this week, which is essentially its version of Amazon’s Channels store, or, more directly, Verizon’s +play: a way for customers to add streaming services from a convenient hub and to also purchase bundles of their most watched services.

It is, depending on your POV, either an admission that streaming is the future or a way to meet your customers where they are. Either way you look at it though, it’s a smart move, one that is likely to be appreciated by the mass of Xfinity subscribers who are not in the Early Adopter cohort.

But that’s not what is interesting to me about the announcement.

What’s interesting is that there are 450 apps in the offering, including some 100 niche subscription services who clearly have enough runway for Comcast to include them in its offering.

That is a lot of niche subscription services.

Why It Matters

I suspect many of them are low-priced enough that their subscribers don’t bother to cancel, either because they want to support that type of content, forget they have that particular $3.99/month subscription or keep thinking they’ll find the time to watch something on there.

That said, they all also likely have passionate and sizeable fan bases who turn to Reddit and Discord to discuss the content and the overall direction of the service. They are part of what we’ve been calling “Feudal Media”–small unconnected islands of content, each with its own culture, in-jokes and celebrities.

Now what’s notable here is that there are over 100 of these services. Not 10 or 15, but 100. That’s a lot of little bubbles.

Comcast’s plan makes a lot of sense in that people generally like bundles, or the smaller and simpler bundles offered around streaming, anyway..

It’s one less thing to worry about.

Plus they get a single interface, with all the services they subscribe to included, which is much better experience than the industry seems to realize—if there’s one complaint I hear most often, it’s that it is far too difficult to find anything in streaming, even if you go in knowing what you want to watch. 

And that if you don’t, going back and forth from app to app to see what they recommend is way too much effort.

Hence the bundle and the popularity of companies like Bango and MyBundle.

One more note on Comcast’s SteamStore: many of the bundles on offer—take the $15/month StreamSaver, for instance— feature the ad-supported versions of the apps that are being bundled, in this case, Peacock and Netflix. 

This is notable in that it is a thinly veiled secret that the big SVOD apps are all struggling to build up their ad-supported subscriber base in the US.

The “why” on that is not much of a mystery: the price gap between ad-free and ad-supported remains relatively small—maybe $10/month. And many of their new subs go in thinking they’ll only subscribe for three months or so—just long enough to watch whatever series got them to subscribe in the first place—and so $30 to watch it without ads is not that big a deal.

Especially given that “watch all your favorite shows without ads” has been Netflix’s main selling proposition for the past decade and it’s a hard behavior to change.

So there’s that and the fact that there are people who’d happily pay large sums of money to avoid ads, and I wonder whether the greater savings provided by this type of bundling will lead to a noticeable bump in the size of their ad-supported audiences.

Let’s just say I am skeptical.

What You Need To Do About It

If you are Comcast, well done. This is a smart move and given that you do own a goodly share of the broadband market in the US, giving your customers what they want is a wise decision.

If you are one of the streaming services looking to grow your ad-supported subscriber base, remember that word-of-mouth is still a powerful driver, and so making the experience a good one is key. That means resisting the urge to jam more ads into every break and making sure the same three ads don’t run all the time either.

Something to keep in mind.

If you are an Xfinity subscriber, this is definitely something worth checking out especially if you’ve been looking for a more unified interface.

You’re welcome.

Forget Whoop: I found a worthy fitness tracker alternative with none of the subscription fees

ZDNET’s key takeaways

  • The Amazfit Helio Strap is available now for $99.
  • As a smartwatch alternative, the strap offers virtually all the same health tracking features via the robust Zepp app, with over a week of battery life.
  • The fabric strap isn’t made of exceedingly high quality materials, but luckily can be easily replaced.

Amazfit, makers of such smartwatches as the Bip 5 and the new Balance 2, recently released its Helio Strap, a fitness tracker that has all the core functions of a smartwatch, but in an ultra-minimal form: no watch face, no decorative elements (and no subscription). 

The strap is about as simple as you can get — just a solid black band with the tracking component below it. Unlike other popular straps like the Whoop 4.0 (or new 5.0), there’s no buckle, making the whole thing incredibly light at just 20 grams without the strap. 

Also: I swapped my Apple Watch Ultra for this big-screen Garmin that’s easier to read

This results in a device that’s not only affordable at $99, but also extremely battery efficient — lasting over 10 days on one charge for normal use and up to 25 days in battery saver mode. 

I’ve been wearing the Helio strap for the past month now, and one of the main reasons why it works so well is because the app that Amazfit’s smartwatches work with — Zepp, for Android and iOS — is good enough to carry, providing all the useful health and fitness metrics you could want, including workout tracking, heart health, and sleep stats. 

Also: The Apple Watch Ultra 2 is the premium smartwatch I prefer (especially at $150 off)

The lack of a watchface also eliminates the inherent distraction of looking at it in the middle of a workout — something I find myself constantly doing any time I wear a smartwatch. By relegating everything to the app, you can put your phone away and not worry about checking it until afterwards.

The app also has its share of unique metrics intended to provide deeper insights into health behavior. For example, the BioCharge feature generates a number for you in the morning (a score out of 100) that tells you what kind of shape you’re in for the coming day, with the score changing as you progress through the day. 

This number is generated from the quality of sleep you got, what kind of day you had yesterday, your resting heart rate, your activity level, and your stress. For example, if you had a stressful day previously and didn’t sleep well, your BioCharge will start out low, putting you at 60 at the start of the day. A great night of rest, however, and you might start the day out at 100.

The app mentions that it needs at least seven days of data to project an accurate assessment, and I found this to be more or less accurate, not just with BioCharge but also with sleep data and PAI, Zepp’s other proprietary health score. 

Also: Why Whoop’s policy change has fans fuming – and what it’s doing about it

PAI, or “personal activity indicator,” awards you points every day based on your cardiorespiratory measurements. The intent is to get a weekly score of 100 or greater. This can be hard to do, as the better shape you’re in, the fewer points your workouts generate, pushing you to work harder. 

The algorithm here is successful not in that it gives you absolutely perfect data, but because it’s so good at pushing you with just the right amount of what’s realistically achievable. If you’re someone who just needs a nudge to keep your fitness in check, this metric alone is a good way to keep tabs on your activity level for the week.  

The app also gives you the option to track what you eat by snapping photos of your food and letting the AI break down caloric values based on the photo. My first thought when hearing this was, ok, a photo of an apple it can do, but what about something more complicated?

So, I put it to the test. I made a big salad with a handful of ingredients, and snapped a photo. After a few seconds, the AI broke down the contents of the salad with surprising accuracy, even spotting the few pickled jalapenos that were thoroughly mixed in. 

Also: Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 vs Pixel Watch 3: Which Android smartwatch should you buy?

Personally, I don’t need to track my food this way since I’m already aware of my current macros, but if this is something you’re looking for, I found it to be very easy and surprisingly accurate. 

Even if it’s not to the letter (it can identify food very well, but it can’t always accurately determine volume or portions) the ball park number can be incredibly helpful, showing you if there’s an imbalance in your fat, protein, or carb macros. 

Amazfit Helio Strap

Other features in the app include a plethora of sleep insight stats, including sleep apnea risk, stress, skin temperature, exertion load, steps, weight, and BMI, and support for dozens of training modes.

I’m talking a lot about the app here because ultimately, that’s what matters most to the Helio strap, as a window into fitness tracking through Zepp. Of course, you don’t have to use the strap as a standalone device; in fact, Amazfit’s current marketing positions it as a complementary component to the Balance 2, its latest smartwatch. 

Since both devices access the same app, swapping between them ideally provides a seamless tracking experience, allowing one to pick up where the other one left off. (Plus, if you can’t sleep with a watch on, the Helio strap is a legit alternative.)

Also: Finally, a budget smartwatch that’s just as durable as my Garmin (and it’s on sale)

Lastly, I’ll mention that the Helio strap works just fine without a subscription, but if you want deeper insights and access to more personalized metrics, you can subscribe to Zepp’s Aura Premium. 

This part of the app resembles the VIP lounge, with weekly reports, monthly health analyses, sleep assessments, and a host of audio and guided mediation features. 

As for things Amazfit could improve, one of the most obvious is the strap’s physical form, which, to be expected, is pretty basic. My continual wear after a few weeks resulted in some slight fraying of the fabric band around the velcro end, and I’d imagine after a certain amount of sweaty workouts, you’ll want to replace it anyway.

ZDNET’s buying advice

If you’re interested in fitness tracking but want something minimal or only want to wear a device during workouts, the Amazfit Helio Strap is a solid option. At $99, it comes with the full suite of features in the Zepp app, which is the real secret sauce here.

I actually like the look of the ultra-minimal black strap, and it couldn’t be more distraction-free. If you want a smartwatch, but also like the idea of the strap for certain activities, you can get both the Balance 2 and Helio strap in a bundle deal for $379.

A sprinter is aware of their stride. The sleeve of a goalkeeper records pressure. It is not science fiction, but a game of today. Wearable technology is not only monitoring data; it is rewriting the way athletes train, recuperate, and conquer. To fans, bettors, and analysts, this entails an additional level of knowledge. Performance is not only about talent anymore; it is about data on the skin.

Smart Clothing for Enhanced Performance

Sports clothing is not inert anymore. The sensors are being incorporated into bright fabrics that can measure muscle activation, breathing rhythm, and posture shifts. Platforms like Melbet Mongolia are already paying attention to how this kind of data might shape betting odds and predictions. This clothing provides real-time information about the body’s condition, without taking away the ability to take action.

The equipment also gets adapted. Some prototypes change temperature or compression according to the intensity. Trainers no longer have to guess how an athlete is feeling; they have numbers. It is no longer a matter of looking out at the signs; it is reading the story off the body. This is not a sexy tech; it is practical. And it is becoming a necessity.

Biometric Monitoring in Real Time

Wristbands and skin patches are becoming a 24-hour health companion. They are not merely measuring heartbeats; they are putting physiology into practical measures.

This is what wearable monitors of the highest quality track now:

  • Heart rate variability: Can be used to identify fatigue or overtraining before a performance decline.
  • Sweat analysis: Indicates water and electrolyte status during play.
  • Respiration rate: It detects changes in endurance or stress in times of high pressure.
  • Skin temperature: Signals a possible overheat or sickness before symptoms occur.

These figures are gold to the bettors: they provide hints about the state of an athlete that were not visible before.

Data-Driven Coaching and Feedback

It is not only that wearables are providing athletes with insights, but they are also giving coaches an entirely new perspective. Decisions on training are no longer based on hunches and instincts. It is algorithms, body data, and updates second by second: strategy has become a matter of numbers. And those figures are transforming the construction of skills and risk management.

AI Integration in Training Devices

No more stopwatch drills; now AI is assisting athletes in optimizing every move to achieve peak performance. Smart devices, such as smart insoles or arm sensors, gather data and learn. They pick up on trends in fatigue, quality of repetitions, and timing gaps that even elite coaches can overlook—the consequence: more individualized and predictive training.

This represents an additional level of trustworthiness for bettors. An athlete with an AI analysis is less prone to perform poorly unexpectedly. There are also long-term benefits being realized by coaches. Players who used to stagnate during the season are now performing at their best at the end of the season, as their training is adapting in real time. It is not a matter of working harder, but working sharper.

Virtual Reality for Skill Simulation

VR has shifted out of the realm of video game novelty into a serious preparatory tool. Teams no longer have to step onto a field to simulate full match conditions, including crowd noise, lighting, and pressure. Quarterbacks train decision trees. Combatants train in noncontact timing. And all the time with sensors on to measure the speed and accuracy of the reaction.

This is different for recovery athletes. They can rehearse mentally and be physically healed at the same time. The mind remains active, and the body takes a break. This technology not only sustains performance, but it also creates it in ways that are unexpected. And as to bettors? What you are seeing is a whole new method of evaluating the readiness before game day.

Fan Experience Through Athlete Wearables

Fans no longer only watch games; they watch the athletes’ bodies speak. As wearables produce real-time data, fans can see internal metrics that were previously only available to coaches and medical teams. Heart rate in a penalty shot. Sprint speed in front of a goal. The final turn acceleration. It adds an extra dimension of drama, and numbers appear live on screen.

This technology is a goldmine for the bettors. You don’t see performance; you see preparedness, exhaustion, and strain under stress. This feed is already being incorporated into live betting interfaces through apps. It makes each second a point of data that either proves or kills your bet. It is all-absorbing, emotional, and dangerously addictive.

The Future of Regulation and Ethics

The additional data implies additional questions: who is the owner, who benefits, and who is the defender of the athlete? Wearables are becoming increasingly sophisticated, and privacy concerns are looming ahead. Leagues, unions, and regulators will battle it out. The body now is satisfied–satisfied must have regulations.

Alphabet and AI stocks nudge Wall Street to more records | News, Sports, Jobs

NEW YORK (AP) — Wall Street inched to more records on Thursday as gains for Alphabet and artificial-intelligence stocks helped make up for Tesla ‘s steep tumble.

NEW YORK (AP) — Wall Street inched to more records on Thursday as gains for Alphabet and artificial-intelligence stocks helped make up for Tesla ‘s steep tumble.

The S&P 500 added 0.1% to its all-time high set the day before. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 316 points, or 0.7%, while the Nasdaq composite rose 0.2% to its own record.

Alphabet climbed 1% after the company behind Google and YouTube delivered a fatter profit for the latest quarter than analysts expected. It’s leaning more into artificial-intelligence technology and said it’s increasing its budget to spend on AI chips and other investments this year by $10 billion to $85 billion.

That helped push up other stocks in the AI industry, including a 1.7% rise for Nvidia. The chip company was the strongest single force lifting the S&P 500 because it’s the largest on Wall Street in terms of value.

But an 8.2% drop for Tesla kept the market in check. Elon Musk’s electric-vehicle company reported results for the spring that were roughly in line with or above analysts’ expectations, and Musk is trying to highlight Tesla’s moves into AI and robotaxis.

The focus, though, remains on how Musk’s foray into politics is turning off potential customers, and he said several rough quarters may be ahead as “we’re in this weird transition period where we’ll lose a lot of incentives in the U.S.”

Stocks have broadly been rallying for weeks on hopes that President Donald Trump will reach trade deals with other countries that will lower his stiff proposed tariffs, along with the risk that they could cause a recession and drive up inflation. The record-setting gains have been so strong that criticism is rising about how expensive stock prices have become. That in turn puts pressure on companies to deliver solid growth in profits in order to justify their gains.

Chipotle Mexican Grill also helped weigh on the market despite delivering a profit for the spring that topped analysts’ expectations. The restaurant chain’s growth in revenue came up short of expectations, and its stock fell 13.3%.

IBM dropped 7.6% even though it likewise reported a stronger profit than expected. Analysts pointed to slowing growth in its software business, among other things underneath the surface.

American Airlines lost 9.6% despite reporting a stronger profit than expected. The company said it expects to report a loss for the summer quarter. It also gave a forecast for full-year results that had a wide range: between a loss of 20 cents per share and a profit of 80 cents per share, depending on how the economy performs.

Reactions in the stock market have generally been stronger than usual when companies beat or miss their profit targets by a wide margin, according to Julian Emanuel at Evercore.

Other extreme moves have also been roaring underneath the market’s surface, including huge swings for “meme stocks.” Those are stocks where traders are looking to jump in amid online cheerleading and ride it higher, before a halt in momentum leaves some investors holding the bag.

Opendoor Technologies rose 5.7% following a manic stretch where it swung by at least 10%, up or down, in 10 straight days.

Such swings, though, haven’t been showing up in overall market indexes, which have been gliding recently. The S&P 500 hasn’t had a day where it moved by at least 1% in a month.

All told, the S&P 500 rose 4.44 points to 6,363.35. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 316.38 to 44,693.91, and the Nasdaq composite rose 37.94 to 21,057.96.

In the bond market, Treasury yields held relatively steady following the latest signals that the U.S. economy seems to be holding up OK despite pressures from tariffs and elsewhere.

One report said that fewer U.S. workers applied for unemployment benefits last week, a potential signal of easing layoffs. A separate report from S&P Global suggested growth in U.S. business activity accelerated in July, and the preliminary results easily topped economists’ expectations.

That helped solidify expectations on Wall Street that the Federal Reserve will hold interest rates steady at its next meeting next week, even though Trump has been agitating angrily for cuts. The European Central Bank, which had earlier been cutting its rates, also held steady on Thursday as it waits to see how Trump’s tariffs affect the economy.

The yield on the 10-year U.S. Treasury note briefly approached 4.44% in the morning before pulling back to 4.40%, where it was late Wednesday.

In stock markets abroad, indexes rose across much of Asia and Europe. Tokyo’s jump of 1.6% and London’s rise of 0.8% were two of the bigger gains.
