Your Google Play Music library will be deleted on Feb. 24

If you still have songs uploaded to Google Play Music, you'll lose these permanently if you don't export them before February 24. Google has sent out its last email reminder to Play Music users. According to the email, "On February 24, 2021, we will delete all of your Google Play Music data. This includes your music library with any uploads, purchases and anything you've added from Google Play Music. After this date, there will be no way to recover it."

For those who already used the transfer tool, you still have the option to use it one last time. According to Google, "You've already transferred to YouTube Music. But, if you've made any changes, you still have the option to transfer again so your music library is up to date. If you would like to download your Google Play Music library and data, you can do so with Google Takeout before February 24, 2021." You can also check out this link to find out your export options.

'The Falcon and The Winter Soldier' will come to Disney+ on Mar. 19

After many delays because of the pandemic, Disney and Marvel are ready to release The Falcon and The Winter Soldier next month on March 19. The show will be a six-episode series on the Disney+ streaming service. We finally get an extended look at the show at a new trailer released during the Super Bowl.

The show takes place after the events of Avengers: Endgame. Steve Rogers has already retired as Captain America and passed his shield on to Sam Wilson, a.k.a. Falcon (played by Anthony Mackie). Sam is joined by Steve's best friend and fellow superhero Bucky Barnes, a.k.a. The Winter Soldier (Sebastian Stan), to save the world from the baddies. We're counting down the days until we get to see these two kick ass and get on each other's nerves.
