Hulu buys AT&T’s stake, leaving Comcast and Disney as owners
[ad_1] AT&T said it would use the money to “reduce its debt.” Between this and Disney’s acquisition of key Fox assets, Hulu’s joint venture is down to just two companies, Disney and Comcast. It’s not yet certain just how this affects the ownership ratios, but Disney already had majority control with 60 percent while Comcast […]

AT&T is the first 5G carrier in the US to reach gigabit speeds
[ad_1] On launch, AT&T’s 5G service could only make use of a lone 100MHz carrier for your connection, limiting speeds that were frequently not much better (or potentially worse) than LTE. The new approach aggregated four of those carriers, giving it that much more headroom even in real-world conditions. It should get faster still later […]
LG G8 ThinQ will be available in the US April 11th
[ad_1] Whether or not it’s worth the savings over the S10 will likely depend on just how much you like LG’s rather unusual priorities.

Leaked Galaxy Fold pops up in a video with a significant seam
[ad_1] A rumor from Bloomberg suggested a visible crease is bound to form once the Fold’s screen is flexed more than 10,000 times — a far cry from the 200,000 figure Samsung touted — and might cause the company to offer free replacement screens. It’s obviously unclear what this device has been through so far, […]
