Netflix Has Devised Special Socks That Pause Your Show When You Fall Asleep

Leaders with Netflix introduce Netflix Socks, the perfect addition to your next Netflix marathon. Netflix Socks is another DIY project devised by Netflix, which automatically pauses the show when the user falls asleep. So now, spoilers and trying to remember where you dozed off will be a thing of the past. For this DIY project, you will need some knitting skills and technology skills. You can get around the knitting component by using a pair of socks you already own, however Netflix offers a variety of sock patterns inspired by popular shows. They include a pair featuring a glass of pinot noir for fans of Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt (or fans of sipping this wine during Netflix marathons), a sushi roll for fans of Chef's Table, and a slice of pie for Orange Is the New Black fans.

That's today's Daily Dish, thanks for watching. Stop by tomorrow for another helping.
