| AUGUST 5, 2021
It's August 5, 2021. It's National Work Like A Dog Day! So we can just hang out and sleep all day? Not exactly. Today is meant to encourage everyone to tackle every challenge head on. Let's give it a shot.  ⏰ Today's Big Stories... in 30 Seconds Today We Watched, Read, and Listened to (so you don't have to): 409 articles, 9 podcasts, 19 press releases, 359 tweets, and 17 YouTube videos 1. T-Mobile to Shut Down Sprint's Network by June 2022 T-Mobile is shutting down Sprint's LTE network next year, following the 2020 merger between the two companies. The shut down will occur by June 30, 2022, with T-Mobile saying it's retiring the network to free up resources that will help strengthen the entire network. We'll see, T-Mobile. We'll see. 2. Xiaomi Will Reveal New Products August 10 Xiaomi has announced it will reveal its Mi Pad 5 tablets and launch the Mi Mix 4 smartphone at an event on August 10. There's little official information about the hardware, but since the event celebrates the company's 10th anniversary, maybe we can expect Xiaomi to really spoil its fans with details. 3. FandangoNOW and Vudu Merge, Keep Vudu Name FandangoNOW and Vudu have merged into a single streaming service that will serve as Roku TV's official streaming service. While it will now simply be known as Vudu, FandangoNOW customers won't lose access to their purchases, as it'll automatically be transferred from the old service. Phew! Thank goodness. 🦑 Go Deeper Google's Pixel 6 will use the company's very own Tensor chip, but what does that really mean? Charlie Sorrel digs into Google's new chip, and explains how it's a glimpse into the future of custom chips in smartphones. 🎱 By the Numbers That's... a lot of TV  Data: Roku Never let it be said that Roku doesn't have enough for people to watch. Over the years, more and more hours have been streamed through the service, amounting to nearly 60 billion hours by the end of 2020. Expect 2021 to be even higher; we'll try to ignore how many days that converts to.  🔥 Today's Hot Deal

The result? A real time broadcast that shows what two cities 300+ miles apart are up to. Very cool.

Maybe this 20-ft tall, inflatable projector screen is for you. Sure, the actual white screen is only 12.6-ft by 7.1-ft, but you're really going for the outdoor spectacle and ease-of-use than a true theater-sized screen. One day, though. 🎮 Up-Down-A-B-Start Save twice, just to be sure Saving your progress is a pretty basic component of video games, but some players revert to minutes-old saves just to fix minor mistakes.
