With the release of Jessica Jones’ third and final season, a TV experiment four years in the making is over.

‘The Office’ Will Be Leaving Netflix In 2021

If there is a reason why Netflix is investing so heavily into its own content, it is because we imagine that they’d rather not be at the mercy of other studios who may or may not decide to renew their licensing deals with the company. A good example of that happening would be with “The Office” TV series.

In a tweet by Netflix, the company has announced that the series will be officially leaving their platform in 2021. According to Netflix, it sounds like NBC has decided that they won’t be renewing their licensing deal with Netflix and will be taking back the show where it will be available to stream on its own streaming platform. The show will be leaving in January, 2021 so that means that Netflix users will still have plenty of time to enjoy the show before it is gone for good.

That being said, there are plenty of shows that have since left Netflix’s platform, although admittedly The Office is one of the bigger series around. It was also previously reported that “Friends” could also be leaving the platform in the future, so that’s something to take not off as well.

Disney has also since ended its licensing deal with Netflix where we will no longer see newer Disney content for the platform. This is because the company has announced its own Disney+ streaming service that will be debuting later this year.

The Apple Watch’s ECG Feature Is Already Saving Lives In The UK

Due to the Apple Watch’s ECG feature being seen as a medical tool, it needs to be properly licensed before it can be used. Given that different countries have different laws, this means that it could take a while before the feature found its way to other countries around the world.

However, the feature has managed to find its way to the UK recently and it seems that it has already saved its first life. According to a post on Reddit, user Phil Harrison claims that he was training for the Brighton Marathon when he started to experience heart palpitations that wouldn’t stop and decided to use the Apple Watch’s ECG feature to find out what’s going on.

According to Harrison, “With a series of events which ended up with me in accident and emergency that evening to being told that I shouldn’t do the marathon which was only 10 days away just on a precaution, to now 2 and a half months later after a series of tests being told I need to have a valve repair surgery via open heart surgery sooner rather than later which is currently booked for Wednesday 3rd of July.”

This is not the first time that we have heard how the Apple Watch has saved lives. While the heart rate monitoring feature and ECG feature shouldn’t be used to diagnose your condition, the fact that it alerts its wearers to any anomalies can save lives by letting patients seek out treatment earlier.
