Joe Maring / Android Authority With over 131 million subscribers as of Q1 2025, T-Mobile is the second-largest telecom carrier in the US. However, recent decisions like retiring the Go5G lineup of plans in favor of the new Experience plans and unbundling taxes and fees from monthly prices have caused many users to start looking for alternatives in case they want to jump ship. We asked users what carrier they would choose as a T-Mobile alternative, and Google Fi and Visible turned up as the top

More than a year after Netflix added the award-winning game Hades to its gaming service, the streaming giant will remove the game from its service on July 1. No, I'm not crying, I just have something in my eye. Supergiant Games released Hades in 2018 to near-universal acclaim before releasing the game on Netflix. It won numerous awards, including Game of the Year and Action Game of the Year at the 24th Annual D.I.C.E. Awards. It also made history as the first (and so far only) game to win a Hug

Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority TL;DR Google is notifying users that, starting July 7, 2025, Gemini will be able to assist with apps like Phone, Messages, and WhatsApp, regardless of whether Gemini Apps Activity is turned on or off.

'Ironheart' Review: Marvel Series Is Not Too Heavy, but It's Not Too Light, Either

cnet.com See Full Bio 2026-04-08 17:00:03

The first time Riri Williams' solo TV show was mentioned was in 2020 when Kevin Feige announced Ironheart and Secret Invasion along with a few other Marvel Phase 5 releases. He said both series would tie in with Marvel's feature films. It's true: Ironheart is connected to the larger MCU -- aside from Black Panther: Wakanda Forever -- and for that reason alone, you should watch all six episodes of the series to the end. All the way to the very end. Ironheart is streaming its first three episodes

‘Witcher’ Author Understands Why George R.R. Martin Is Taking So Long on ‘Winds of Winter’

It’s been over a decade since the last Witcher book was released—2013’s Season of Storms, which got an English translation in 2018—but there’s a new title coming very soon from Andrzej Sapkowski: September’s Crossroads of Ravens. In between books, Netflix launched its hit Witcher series, which still has a fourth and fifth season yet to share. That puts Sapkowski on a different sort of timeline from another author whose fans have been waiting awhile for a new book to arrive in his adapted-for-TV

Starting Tuesday, Chrome for Android users can now place the address bar at the bottom of their phone screens, a move that finally comes nearly 17 years after the first Android phone hit the market in 2008.
