Alright, let’s talk about this “Ucan Netflix” thing. I ain’t no fancy tech person, but I’ll tell ya what I know, same way I’d tell ya how to make a good ol’ pot of stew.
First things first, what is this Netflix anyhow? Well, it’s like a picture show, but it comes right into your house, through that there… internet thingy. My grandkids, they watch it all the time. Says it’s got all sorts of movies and TV shows, more than you can shake a stick at.
- Watchin’ them shows: You wanna watch something? Well, you gotta sign in. That’s like showin’ your ticket at the movie theater. You got your name, or what they call a “username,” and a secret word, a “password.” Keep that password safe, like your grandma’s biscuit recipe! Don’t go sharin’ it with just anybody.
- Where can you watch this Netflix? Seems like everywhere these days! On that computer box, on your phone, even on that big fancy TV they got now. My grandboy, he watches it on his game thingy too. Kids these days, I tell ya. They say you can watch it on Mac, Windows, smart TV, game console, PC, mobile. All them fancy words, but it just means you can watch it on a lotta different things.
So how do you get this Netflix thing goin’? Well, first you gotta sign up. That means you gotta tell ’em who you are and give ’em some money. It ain’t free, ya know. Nothin’ good in life is free, ‘cept maybe sunshine and fresh air. But they say it ain’t too much money, and you get to watch all them shows you want. You can sign up on the computer or that little phone you carry around, they call it Android device I think. They make it sound complicated, but it ain’t. Just follow the steps, they say. My grandaughter, she’s good at that stuff.
Now, sometimes things go wrong. Can’t get signed in? Forgot your password? Don’t you fret none. It happens to the best of us. They got folks to help ya. You can restart your Netflix account if things get really messed up. And if someone changed your email without askin’, well, that ain’t right! But they can help you fix that too. Just gotta find the right place to ask for help. They say you can get help with account issues and they can teach you how to sign up and use Netflix.
They also say you can watch Netflix on the web at *. That’s like going to the store, but on the computer. You just type in that “*” and there it is, all them movies and shows, just waitin’ for ya. You can watch it on your personal computer or on any internet-connected device that offers the Netflix app, including smart TVs.
My neighbor, she told me somethin’ about Netflix secret codes. Said it’s like a secret menu at the diner. You type in some numbers and you get different kinds of shows. She said something like */browse/genre/ then you add some numbers. Sounded like a bunch of hooey to me, but she swears by it. Says she finds all sorts of old westerns that way. She types things like 90-minute horror movies or other stuff.
And get this, some folks even buy something called “shares” in Netflix. Sounds like buyin’ a piece of the pie to me. My nephew, he’s always talkin’ ’bout investments and such. He said if you bought Netflix shares a long time ago, you’d be sittin’ pretty now. Said a $1000 investment made in November 2014 would be worth $14,248.59, or a 1,324.86% gain, as of November 7, 2024. Land sakes, that’s a lotta money! More than I ever seen in my life.
So, there ya have it. That’s what I know ’bout this “Ucan Netflix.” It’s a way to watch them picture shows, on all sorts of contraptions. You gotta sign up, sign in, and if you get stuck, there’s folks to help ya. And maybe, just maybe, you can even make some money off it, if you’re smart like my nephew. But me? I’m happy just watchin’ the birds and the bees. That’s entertainment enough for this old lady.
