It's December 16, 2021, and National Chocolate Covered Anything Day! This one is pretty straightforward, and we hope you indulge as much as you're allowed to today. Just don't cover any computer chips in it, okay?  ⏰ Today's Big Stories... in 30 Seconds Today We Watched, Read, and Listened to (so you don't have to): 408 articles, 12 podcasts, 13 press releases, 389 tweets, and 18 YouTube videos 1. Samsung Reveals the New Galaxy Tab A8 Samsung has officially revealed the Galaxy Tab A8. It comes in three models, each with different RAM and storage sizes, but all models sport a 10.5-inch display, 8MP rear camera, 5MP front camera, and more. Want one? It arrives in Europe in late December, and the rest of the world January 2022. 2. Amazon Web Services Outage Hits DoorDash, Twitch, and More Another Amazon Web Services (AWS) outage affected multiple websites, including Twitch and DoorDash. Reports of the outage first appeared early Weds morning, especially on social media. While it was quickly fixed, it's yet another example of how many services rely on AWS to function. 3. Apple's SharePlay Comes to Disney+ Apple's FaceTime SharePlay feature is now supported by the Disney+ app on iPhone, iPad, or Apple TV+. With SharePlay, you can co-watch movies and shows with up to 32 people on a FaceTime call. Very cool. You'll need tvOS 15.1, iOS 15.1, or iPadOS 15.1 or later to take advantage of it, though. 🦑 Go Deeper Big fan of remote start features in cars?
