Oct 5 2024

Maria Farrugia netted her first goal for Sheffield United during Thursday’s League Cup match.

The goal was a beautiful curling shot which quickly found it’s way in the top right corner of Sunderland’s goal.

The Blades faced off against Sunderland, one of Farrugia’s former teams, in the opening game of the women’s cup competition.

Despite Farrugia’s equalizing goal, which canceled out Sunderland’s early lead, Sheffield United couldn’t secure a point, ultimately suffering a 2-1 defeat.

Farrugia and her Sheffield United squad will be back in action this Sunday as they host Bristol City in the Barclays Women’s Championship.

Spotify Can Now Automatically Create An Airplane Mode Playlist

Oct 5 2024

Spotify has introduced a new Offline Backup feature for iOS and Android, aimed at ensuring uninterrupted music access even when users lose their internet connection. This feature automatically generates a playlist of recently played and queued tracks, making it ideal for flights or off-the-grid adventures. Currently, it is exclusively available for Spotify Premium subscribers.

Unlike the existing offline mode that requires manual downloads, the Offline Backup playlist operates seamlessly in the background, providing a more convenient listening experience. Spotify indicates that this playlist will adapt to users’ listening habits over time and will include songs already cached on the device.

Once offline, the Offline Backup playlist will automatically appear in the Home feed, allowing users to filter and sort tracks by artist, genre, or mood. Users can also add the playlist to their library for easier access.

To activate this feature, users must manually enable it in the app’s settings under Data Saving and Offline or Storage. The Offline Backup feature is available now, but users must have listened to at least five songs recently to utilize it. If it doesn’t appear, Spotify recommends checking for app updates.
