Who knew, 5G has nothing to do with COVID-19 and is actually totally safe…

The internet in recent weeks has been awash with harrowing reports of 5G conspiracy theories making the rounds. Whilst there has always been some kind of 5G skepticism lurking in less-savory parts of Facebook and Twitter, the recent COVID-19 epidemic has compounded many people’s fears and pushed the narrative into the mainstream media, both in the US and across the pond in the UK.

We’ve heard quite enough about these theories and the tragic material consequences that have unfortunately followed (workers and engineers threatened, the burning of masts, people being cut off from loved ones). Rather than give any more airtime to the nonsense, we sat down with two 5G experts to debunk these myths once and for all. Strap in.

The experts

Our two heroes are Iqbal Bedi and Saul Friedner. Iqbal is the Director of Intelligens Consulting Ltd, and has worked as a digital and telecoms advisor in both the UK’s public a…

Your phone needs RAM to operate, but why? And how much?

You can buy a Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra with 16 GB of RAM. That’s almost as much as many gaming PCs, and about 8 GB more than most phones. It has a lot of folks scratching their heads and asking why in the world does it need 16GB of RAM, and does that mean my phone with 4GB needs more?

This wouldn’t be the first time we’ve seen phones come with oodles of RAM. Vivo and OnePlus offer phones with plenty under the hood, and seeing 6 or more GB inside is becoming fairly common. Let’s talk about what RAM is, how your phone uses RAM, and why a phone would have so much more of it than what’s “necessary”.

The Galaxy S20 Ultra can have up to 16GB of RAM — but why?

What is RAM

RAM (Random Access Memory) is short-term digital storage. Computers (and yes, your phone is a computer) use RAM mostly to hold data that active applications — along with the CPU and operating system’s kernel — are using because RAM is very fast when it come…

In this new decade, you’re only going to spend yet more of your life online which means a VPN is quite important. You can try and avoid it but, honestly, it’s pretty much impossible to do. It’s important that you have security and privacy at the front of your mind as you traverse the online world, especially with the amount of sensitive data we out on our devices and send via the internet. If you use public Wi-Fi networks while out and about, that’s even more important.

Pixar animated films are some of the best movies in the world, able to entertain kids and adults alike with their heartfelt stories and unforgettable characters. Films like Up, Toy Story, and more recent fare like Inside Out have only become more renowned as the years pass, and now with Disney+ available, the entire lineup of Pixar films is available to stream at a moment’s notice.

Disney is striving to make Disney+ the #1 place for families to stream content this year, and with recent releases to the service like Pixar’s Onward and Frozen 2, as well as upcoming movies like Artemis Fowl which is skipping theaters and going straight to Disney+ on June 12, they might just accomplish that. Additional content like Marvel movies, The Simpsons series, and National Geographic documentaries make the service tempting even for those without children at home, and luckily, the Disney+ 7-day trial lets you start streaming for free.

We live in quite an interesting time right now, it’s something that people have never really experienced before. Everyone is being ordered to stay at home, sporting events, concerts, and everything else out there is being cancelled, and sometimes you just need to find a way to escape it all.

The One Wor…

Smartphones are slowly but surely getting rid of the 3.5mm audio jack from smartphones and tablets, so users are turning to wireless as the next viable option. The Jabra Elite 75t are currently the best overall true wireless earbuds you can buy. They feature solid sound, long battery life, and they’re incredibly comfortable and portable.

Best Overall: Jabra Elite 75t

The Jabra Elite 75t features a very bass-heavy sound out of the box, which is surprising. The bass is boosted quite a bit to the point where some may dislike the bass overall. For bass heads, this will be the earbud for you. Fortunately, you can adjust the Elite 75t’s sound signature with their smartphone companion app.

Battery life is excellent here as well with up to 7.5 hours of listening on a single charge. The included charging case gets you roughly 20 additional hours of listening, totaling around 28 hours of listening time with the charging case. Unfortunately, they still don’t feature wireless charging for t…
