T-Mobile’s latest 5G network upgrades mean smoother video calls and online games

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-08-02 09:27:58

Joe Maring / Android Authority TL;DR T-Mobile is the first US-based carrier to upgrade to a new “L4S” network technology, which reduces latency in its 5G networks. L4S improves upon existing technologies by decongesting networks in real-time, prioritizing applications that require faster internet. Thankfully, you don’t need to upgrade to newer hardware to use T-Mobile’s new low-latency tech. Choppy video calls or online games are among the most wicked ways to ruin someone’s mood. Every carri

The Morning After: This is the Pixel 10 (or maybe the Pixel 10 Pro)

engadget.com Unknown 2025-08-02 12:16:48

While I wasn’t expecting a major design shakeup, Google revealed the design of its new Pixel phone, almost a month before the official launch event. You can take a look for yourself on the front page of the Google Store. A short video teaser reveals one of the upcoming Pixel 10 smartphones. The device bears a similar appearance to the Pixel 9, with a back design that makes the camera unit protrude from the frame, similar to the Pixel 9 Pro. Oh, and an additional camera — if this is the base Pix

The best VPN services for iPhone in 2025: Expert tested and reviewed

zdnet.com Charlie Osborne 2025-08-02 10:00:20

Whether you've invested in the iPhone 16 or have a legacy device, it's important to consider using a virtual private network (VPN) to improve your online privacy. While all Apple iPhone models tend to have excellent connectivity, I always recommend using a VPN to keep your data safe. Trustworthy VPNs encrypt your online traffic when you access email, social media, and online services. If you have to rely on public Wi-Fi hotspots, they are excellent tools for protecting your data from digital ea

Is Your Iced Coffee Making You Dehydrated in the Summer Heat? I Asked the Experts

cnet.com See Full Bio 2025-08-02 08:51:03

As the summer sun beats down, we should all stay hydrated, as dehydration can increase our risk of heat exhaustion and heat stroke. However, when I saw the National Weather Service in Las Vegas advising residents across parts of California, Nevada and Arizona to stop drinking caffeine in extreme heat to prevent dehydration, I wondered if that was taking things too far. To find out whether caffeine actually causes dehydration to the point where you need to put your iced coffee down, I consulted

Want a Fiber Internet Connection? Read This First

We write a lot about fiber internet at CNET. It's often touted as the "gold standard" of broadband by policymakers, experts and internet users alike. The Fiber Broadband Association estimates that a little over 76 million homes have made the switch to a fiber internet connection, representing a growth of 13% in the past year. If you've ever struggled with slow speeds or outages while using cable, 5G, satellite or (God forbid) DSL internet, you've probably considered switching internet providers

This $20 Item Is the Thing I Buy First for My Kitchen When I Move

As a former girl scout I believe in always leaving a place better than I found it. As a food writer and former culinary school student, this entails always leaving behind a certain feature in any kitchen where I've lived. (As a former NYC resident, yes, there were numerous kitchens.) It's the first thing I buy for a new kitchen, without even needing to take measurements.

DOCSIS 3.0 vs. 3.1 vs. 4.0: How Are They Different?

If you have cable internet, then you're using DOCSIS technology. DOCSIS stands for Data Over Cable Service Interface Specifications, and it's a standard that defines how your modem relays cable internet signals to and from your home. If you have cable internet from Cox, Spectrum, Xfinity or a regional cable internet provider like Armstrong, you're using a DOCSIS-compliant modem. The DOCSIS 4.0 cable modem is ideal since it produces faster upload speeds. But while specifications for DOCSIS 4.0 h

What will become of the CIA?

In December, 1988, as the Soviet Union was beginning to come apart, Senator Bill Bradley, a member of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, convened a closed-door hearing with several of the C.I.A.’s top Soviet experts. These were analysts, not operatives. They did not run spies or weapons, or shoot poisoned darts at people; mostly, they sat at their desks at Langley, reading Pravda or studying photographs of Soviet military parades.

The surprising geography of American left-handedness (2015)

A pre-K teacher in Oklahoma is making news this week after forcing a left-handed 4-year-old boy to write with his right hand. The boy was sent home from school with an article discussing left- and right-handedness. The article mentions historic attitudes toward left-handedness that associate it with evil and the devil. It's written carelessly enough that it isn't clear whether the writer believes left-handedness is still seen as evil or whether that was only the case in the past. Regardless, it
