If you don’t need Alexa, definitely get this $199 Bose sound bar instead of the $400 Sonos Beam

Most people think everything Bose makes is wildly expensive. That’s true for many of the company’s products, though we would argue they’re almost always worth those high price tags. In the case of the Bose Solo 5 TV Sound System, however, you’ll be surprised at what kind of value Bose offers compared to similar compact sound bars from top brands. For example, the Sonos Beam costs $400 while the Bose Solo 5 is only $199 right now on Amazon.

India shot a missile at a satellite and now the debris might hit the International Space Station

You can’t exactly see it from down here on Earth, but there’s a whole lot of junk floating around in the space around our planet. The vast majority of it is man-made, including pieces of satellites, entire defunct spacecraft, and bits and pieces of past space missions. Now, thanks to a hilariously bad decision by India, there’s even more of it.

In a new test of its growing space might, India decided to launch a missile to shoot down one of its own satellites. The country’s thinking was that the demonstration would be a message to the world that India is now “a major space power.” In reality the test created hundreds of pieces of space debris that now threaten the safety of future missions, and might even pose a danger to astronauts aboard the International Space Station.

Nice one.

The Galaxy S10 5G is coming soon, but a cheaper 5G phone is also on the way

%name Articles of Interest by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

Announced in late February, Samsung’s first 5G phone is almost ready to hit store shelves in South Korea where it’ll cost either $1,231 or $1,366 depending on your storage needs. Pricing for the US and other regions hasn’t been made official just yet, but it’s likely that the phone will be more expensive than the three 4G versions once it reaches North America and other big markets. Now, a report says there will be a cheaper 5G flagship for you soon, assuming you’re willing to skip this Galaxy S generation and wait a little while longer.

Lenovo’s design for a foldable smartphone is one of the more unique we’ve seen

%name Articles of Interest by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

However, plenty of other manufacturers likewise have foldable handset designs of their own under consideration — with such designs having leaked from companies like Xiaomi and Oppo. And now it seems Lenovo is working on a design of its own, separate from the forthcoming Motorola RAZR expected this summer from Lenovo-owned subsidiary Motorola.

%name Articles of Interest by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

In a somewhat surprising turn of events, Marvel Studios unleashed an Avengers: Endgame “special look” packed with new footage to coincide with tickets going on sale on Tuesday. We assumed that with the movie just weeks away, the official trailer released in March would be the last glimpse of Endgame we saw until we sat down in theaters, but with a three-hour runtime, there were apparently a few more scenes Marvel could spoil.

The gist of the trailer is the same as all of the others: The remaining Avengers are willing to do anything to save their friends (and the trillions of living beings that were wiped out by Thanos). We see the survivors gathered at Avengers HQ, where Bruce Banner points out that they will be “shorthanded” if they attempt to battle Thanos.
