I feel 5.1 effect on Sony IV300 speakers.

I have plugged Jio STB to speakers directly and then Speaker to TV

But no dolby Atmos

Any suggestions on how to get some benefits on Netflix (non-sharing) standard plan(1080p).

Currently bundled with Tata Play but they say that the benefit of 15 days cashback on 6 months recharge will not be given on the bundled ott plan but I will have to recharge the total monthly amount(tata play dth+any ott subscription)

I don't have Jio or act fiber or any airtel postpaid to bundle. Suggestions to optimize cost.

airtel postpaid

Don't need postpaid some prepaid recharge plans offer Netflix too

I would not recommend it , instead I would suggest you buy from Airtel Xstream play present price 279 pm (afaik it's mobile only plans)

Netflix std with Airtel postpaid is only available with 1799 plan (2063/mth for 5 SIM). You with get Xtsream normal (without netflix/hotstar/Zee5) + Netfix std + Apple TV free and 320 GB shared data with rollover upto 200 GB. Not exactly a plan for all people.

Thanks for all your suggestions. I took a risk and recharged for the full 6 months(dth+netfix) and got half a month(15 days) cashback. Clearly the useless customer care misguided me.

Streaming:

• MUBI

Storage:

• iCloud+ (I just use storage - everything else is shit; even iCloud storage is shit but well there are not many better options)
• Ente (for photo backup and iCloud fallback - but I don't like it and will find an alt)
• Borgbase (Vorta/borg)
• Backblaze b2 (Backrest/restic)
• Tarsnap

Software/etc:

• Bitwarden (free is enough but I support it so that it remains available for free for others; a password manager is like a basic service on the Internet today)
• PrimeInvestor (not renewing it - not of any use since they got rid of MF only plan)
• Mail host (using a DE one currently which is stiff ar5eholes and very racist/dismissive towards users of certain geographies - won't name; moving to Fastmail or some other soon)

Print magazines:

• Hans
• Caravan
• Granta
• Biblio
• <wont' renew>: New Yorker, Paris Review. LRB - delivery in India has been a nightmare and their support teams ineffective and antiquated. I really really like LRB though.

Health/etc:

• Gym trainer: in free society gym. One of the best investment in life. Started slightly over a year ago and I am beating myself why didn't I begin earlier.
• Urban Company: For my bimonthly sports massage (it is anything but luxury or soothing, but since I run and play a lot I need it). I also use their bathroom cleaning subscription (they use machines etc and result is awesome!). Our flat's help's cleaning is on top of it.

This is all I remember right now 🙂

I guess you all won't wanna know utilities and likes of Swiggyy and Zomato (I only subscribe when they show me 29 or 1 rupee for 3 months kinda offer which they often do).
