Spotify available in Trinidad and Tobago and my review

Earlier in the day, for the Spotify app, the app store said your device is not compatible with this version. For Spotify Lite and spotify.com, I was greeted with not available in your country.

When I tried again in the afternoon I was able to sign up at spotify.com and install the Spotify app from the Google Play store. Before this rollout trinis would have to use a VPN to get access to spotify.

The free tier of spotify is limited in features, contains ads and audio quality is less. Premium plan costs US 5.99 per month.

I enjoyed using the Spotify app. Clean and simple UI and intuitive UX. I am not bothered by the lesser audio quality in the free tier. I am a light user and I can see how a heavy user would be compelled to go premium. In the future I could compare Spotify to some of the alternatives.

Some comments from searching "spotify trinidad" on twitter

Seeing Spotify is officially in Trinidad I hope the HiFi subscription would be available here as well @reganten

How can you make money online in Trinidad and Tobago?

This is a common question. Maybe you are now out of school. Maybe you are looking for a side hustle. Trinidad and Tobago has good internet infrastructure and good options for high speed broadband internet and mobile internet. We have cheap electricity. We have free education. We have no taxes on computer equipment. We have an enabling environment for persons who want to make money. One question that will arise as you make plans for your hustle is how do you accept payments online? Services like Paypal are not officially supported in Trinidad. Wipay is an alternative that was started in Trinidad. If you are getting paid through Youtube and adsense you can have a check mailed to you. If you are working for a remote employer you can have them wire transfer your salary. If you are advertising your services online, it helps to have a strong online presence. Make it easy for potential clients to find you and interact with you. There are freelance services marketplaces like Fiverr. There are ...

Forty five

They say age is just a number. And it certainly feels that way for me. I will be 45 years old this year and I still feel like I am in my twenties. 45 squared is 2025. All the digits from 1 to 9 add up to 45. 4 + 5 equals 9. The digits of 2025 add to 9 also. This has me thinking. What else is special about the number 45. 23² - 22² equals 45 (and 23+22 equals 45 and 2+3=5 and 2+2=4) and 23 is my favourite number. The reverse of 45 is 54 and 54 is 9 away from 45 and brings me to this The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy quote "What do you get if you multiply six by nine?" "Six by nine. Forty two." "That's it. That's all there is." "I always thought something was fundamentally wrong with the universe" The internet points out that 6 by 9 is actually 54 but 54 is 42 in base 13. When I wrote my love letters book I had discovered a code within it. https://trinbagotechie.blogspot.com/2023/11/coding.html If I count the occurence of the letters of L...

MDTs Engagement Platform

I have not done a tech blog post in a while even though I have been keeping up somewhat with the local tech space. I was looking for the BOLD plan/document that Mark Lyndersay mentioned in his column and I was directed to this new looking and fancy website. https://engage.gov.tt/en/ It is the engagement front for MDT where they share updates and we can interact and give feedback. I love the idea. The first thing I did was sign up and the first thing I would want to do is share the devs.tt project with them. Also I see that there are 5 weeks left to comment on the BOLD plan. When signing up to access the website I noticed that the email confirmation came from citizenlab.co (Now "go vocal") which is a third party community engagement platform. I like the idea and I think it is much needed and I hope it bears fruit. BOLD stands for Building Our Lives Digitally. This has me thinking about the long lines of traffic that we experience locally. Where is the promised work from home ...
