It's April 8, 2021. It's National Empanada Day! Grab some of these pastries, kick back, and congratulate yourself on making it to Thursday.  ⏰ Today's Big Stories... in 30 Seconds Today We Watched, Read, and Listened to (so you don't have to): 299 articles, 12 podcasts, 13 press releases, 374 tweets, and 14 YouTube videos 1. Pixel Buds A Accidentally Leaked Via Marketing Email The Pixel Buds A have been discovered in a marketing email sent from Google. The email reveals a new dark green model, with the color applied to the earbuds and interior of the charging case. This isn't the first Pixel Buds A leak, but an official announcement must be coming soon, right? Right? 2. Samsung's Low-Cost 5G Phones Start at $279 in the US Samsung has shared details on their upcoming Galaxy A series smartphones coming to the US: the Galaxy A52 5G, A42 5G, and A32 5G. All three will release later this week, with the A32 5G debuting as its cheapest 5G model so far at $279. Sounds like an impulse purchase price to us. 3. T-Mobile Launches 5G Home Internet Service T-Mobile is rolling out its 5G internet service, which is $60/month. There are no contracts or additional fees for the T-Mobile modem/router rental, and users can expect average download speeds of around 100 Mbps. One catch? Things might slow down during times of network congestion. Ouch. 🦑 Go Deeper Facebook's recent leak may have only contained two-year old data, but it's still a problem for its users. Allison Matyus has the deep dive on the leak itself, and how people can protect themselves from future security breaches. 🎱 By the Numbers New galaxies to explore  Data: Samsung Samsung fans have a decent selection of phones to choose from this month. At the lower end are the A12 and A02s at $180 and $110, respectively, while the $500 A52 5G occupies the high-end with its 5G-capabilities and FHD+ Super AMOLED display. Will they perform and sell well? Check back in May.  🔥 Today's Hot Deal

So, he made his own that's roughly 6 times larger than the original, then gifted it to St. Jude's Children's Hospital for kids to play with. (Share on Twitter) 💎 You Know You Want It Say hi to Ariel for us  Image: PowerVision Want to explore underwater, but don't want to physically dive? PowerRay's robot may be for you. The $899 PowerRay Explorer gets you the robot, base station, and controller, but for $999, you'll also get a pair of VR goggles to watch through the robot's cameras. We think the latter is more exciting. 🎮 Up-Down-A-B-Start Knowing why doesn't make it feel better Controller input drift is terrible for games that require precise movements and aiming, but what, exactly, is it?
