Mark your calendars for April 11, because that’s when Verizon switches on its “real” 5G network in two U.S. cities.
Verizon’s “5G Ultra Wideband Network” is the real deal — it works with phones and other mobile devices just like 4G LTE — and isn’t to be confused with the company’s “home” 5G network, which launched last year in select cities.
This is great news because it means there will actually be a working 5G network to use the handful of new 5G smartphones launching this year on.
But there is some fine print to be aware of. Because, of course, there is! Read more…

If you’re into gaming, there’s never been a better time to maximise your gaming experience and upgrade to a 4K TV. The PS4 Pro and Xbox One X output gameplay to a 4K TV, so you can see the stunning detail in 4K-optimised games like Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 or Gran Turismo Sport. You said you wanted an immersive gaming experience? You’ll get it with these perfect pairings.
Of course, size and price are two factors to consider when shopping for a new 4K TV, but there is so much more to these screens. Since you will be using your TV primarily for games, look for gaming modes, which put the emphasis on speed. Also, consider a unit’s input lag, the time delay between pressing a button on your controller or keyboard and seeing its effects on screen. TVs with low input lag provide the quickest response for high-level gaming. Read more…

Ever picked up your phone to find yourself speaking with a robot?
You’re very much not alone. Everyone’s least favourite form of communication increased by 60 percent last year, per CNBC, and the fact hasn’t gone unnoticed by John Oliver.
In his latest monologue for Last Week Tonight Oliver is on his usual top, angry form — casually slamming mailboxes and AT&T before setting his sights firmly on the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), who he clearly doesn’t think are doing enough to stop call-happy robots.
His solution? A message delivered right to the heart of the FCC itself — via robocall. Read more…
