From Stranger Things to House of Cards, Netflix has no shortage of original content. If anything, it’s quite the opposite. Over the last year, it’s become somewhat impossible to keep up with the avalanche of new programs the streaming giant launches each and every month. In December alone, for example, Netflix debuted 64 new TV shows and movies, a staggering amount of content by any measure.

Netflix’s ongoing push into the realm of original content notwithstanding, the most popular shows on Netflix happen to come from other media companies. In a chart put together by Recode, with data sourced from Jumpshot, we learn that the top 5 most-watched shows on Netflix include The Office, Friends, Parks and Recreation, Grey’s Anatomy, and New Girl. The takeaway here is that Netflix, despite its success with original programming, is still heavily reliant upon licensing agreements with third-parties when it comes to the content viewers spend the most time watching.

We already knew that Russia was in the midst of an incredibly deep investigation into the origins of a strange hole that was found in a part of its Soyuz space vehicle earlier this year. The part of the ship that was damaged is no more — it was jettisoned during reentry and burned up — but samples taken from the damaged area are now being studied by Russian authorities as they try to explain how such a thing happened.

Sergei Prokopyev, one of the cosmonauts that rode back down to Earth last week aboard the Soyuz craft, told reporters at a new conference that the investigation is still ongoing. Samples gathered during a recent spacewalk should hopefully be the final piece to whatever puzzle officials are trying to piece together.

Many people out there think that the Apple Watch is the only smartwatch worth considering, and it’s true that Android watches leave much to be desired. There’s an entire world out there beyond iOS and Android though, and the Amazfit Bip Smartwatch by Huami is by far our favorite. There’s plenty to like about the Bip, but it has four main advantages compared to the market-leading Apple Watch. First, it works with Android phones in addition to iPhones. Second, it has all-day heart rate tracking and sleep tracking, which the Apple Watch completely lacks. Third, it costs a small fraction of what you’d pay for an Apple Watch. And finally, it last for up to 30 days on a single charge!

[With Free Screen Protector] Amazfit Bip Smartwatch Xiaomi Huami GPS Real-time Heart Rate Monit…: $79.99

Here’s more info from the product page:

• Look as Good as You Feel: With a range of colors and options, the Bip is designed to be worn as an extension of your personal style. Weighing only 1.1oz (32g), and with a bright, transflective always-on 1.28″ display, the Bip can be worn all day.
• Go the Distance: Use the Amazfit Bip for up to 30 days on a single 2.5-hour charge.
• Don’t Miss a Beat: Optical heart rate monitoring and built-in GPS allow you to accurately track in real-time your steps taken, distance traveled, calories burned, and quality of sleep. Special sport modes (running, treadmill, cycling and walking) give you even more detailed insights into your most frequent activities.
• Be in the Know: The perfect companion to keep you organized and productive all day long. Receive one-way notifications for emails, SMS messages, and incoming phone calls (prompting you to take action on your smartphone), as well as alerts for Facebook, Twitter, WhatsApp, LinkedIn, Snap, Slack, weather forecasts, and other mobile apps
• Satisfaction Guaranteed: Buy with confidence. Amazfit offers a 30-day refund policy, and 12-month new replacement warranty.

Avengers: Infinity War is a fantastic movie, representing the culmination of 10 years of Marvel films. The writers and directors did a great job weaving together everything that we’ve learned from all the other standalone superhero stories. They delivered an intricate plot, a great cliffhanger that sets up the sequel perfectly, as well as plenty of heartbreak for moviegoers and fans of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. But someone was missing from Infinity War, someone we all wanted to see, and someone who Marvel creators only briefly addressed on screen: Hawkeye.

Next year is going to mark a turning point, one way or another, for some of the tech giants that have a lock on the biggest shares of the global smartphone market. Setting aside Apple for a moment, though, since early rumors suggest that Apple’s 2019 iPhone models probably won’t change all that much compared to this year’s iPhones and last year’s iPhone X, let’s move on to the other two big tech giants as ranked by their smartphone shipments.
