T-Mobile has a new unlimited plan coming this week that is cheaper than its other offerings. Just be prepared to drop some perks.
The new plan, called Base Essentials, launches on April 21 and runs $45 per month for a single line or a $15 savings compared to its current cheapest Essentials unlimited plan which is $60 per month. The new option is also $25 cheaper than the Magenta option and $40 less than a single line on its priciest Magenta Max offering.
With this plan, you'll get 20GB of high-speed data and access to T-Mobile's 5G network, but you will lose out on high-speed data after that allotment has been used up. Instead, your download speeds will slow to 1.5Mbps for the remainder of your billing cycle.

Pc games become more and more popular in this time. I found recently new game valorant.it’s helped me to get rid of some stress.

Also you can get some help for getting more achievements overboostpro

Elden Ring developer FromSoftware on Tuesday released patch 1.04 for the game. Along with a slew of bug fixes, weapons and spell improvements, and balance changes, it also added a fitting ending to one beloved character.

In the latest update, Colossal weapons received much-needed attention, as the big two-handed weapons weren't up to par when compared with other weapon types. Some of the changes include increased damage, faster attack speeds and improved guard boost when blocking with the weapons.
Many incantations also saw improvements, from faster cast speeds, larger areas of effect, decreased recovery time and increased damage/effect. One incantation that was toned down was Swarm of Flies, which summoned a group of bloodflies to attack enemies. With the new update, the insects will do less blood damage, lowering the incantation's overall effectiveness.

There are few things you can do these days without being subjected to ads. Soon, playing console games will no longer be one of them.Sony is working with marketing partners to design in-game ads, according to sources for Business Insider. Similar to how free mobile games tend to display ads at the bottom of the screen (or, frustratingly, in between levels), Sony’s goal is to incentivize developers to create games that are free to play but still monetizable. Each ad placement will be available for sale in a private marketplace, where businesses will be able to purchase slots in a similar fashion to other forms of advertising.

Sony’s console customers have been waiting patiently since the Playstation 5’s launch for the company to add support for variable refresh rate (VRR) gaming. Now, after a year and a half of waiting, the company has announced it will finally deliver on its promise. This week Sony wrote on its blog that it will be rolling out support for VRR this week for a collection of popular games.
In its blog the company didn’t specify how quickly the rollout would take place, or if it would start in certain regions. It simply noted it would be available globally in near future. Variable refresh rate gaming has been available on PC for many years now — ahem — and it allows the game’s refresh rate to change in sync with the display. Previously this wasn’t possible as most displays were set to run at 60Hz or even 30Hz.

The USS Enterprise is back and boldly returning to its original-series roots in Star Trek: Strange New Worlds. Beaming down to planets! Weird illnesses! Submarines in space! Shirts coming off!
Strange New Worlds premieres on Paramount Plus on May 5, with new episodes streaming every Thursday. Right from the off, it's a rollicking return to the traditional Trek that longtime fans may've missed in the recent wave of mold-breaking Star Trek shows like Discovery, Lower Decks, Prodigy and Picard. From its stirring new take on the original series theme tune and chunky bridge consoles to its square-jawed captain and weekly episodic adventures, the series is a playfully retro romp.
That said, Strange New Worlds takes the traditional Trek formula and stirs in more-modern elements, like deeper character backstories and overarching storylines. But that's far looser than in Discovery and Picard, which were powered almost entirely by ongoing plotlines.

There haven’t been a lot of rumors floating around about AMD’s revised RDNA2 GPUs. We figured they’d arrive before summer, but we didn’t have a ton of info on what was changed aside from the usual suspects: higher clocks and faster memory. New reports say the GPUs are quite close, and should be launching next week. Their specs are confirmed as well, and AMD apparently wasn’t afraid to add some extra juice to the entire lineup.

Inside the svelte understated body of the new Sony Xperia 1 IV phone is a telephoto camera lens with tiny elements that can freely move back and forth to zoom in and out. No other phone can do this. Last year's Xperia 1 III had a similar lens, but those tiny lens elements were restricted to one of two positions. And as insanely innovative as the Xperia 1 III's dual-telephoto lens was, in use it didn't provide any real advantage over other phones like the Galaxy S22 Ultra that uses two separate telephoto cameras to achieve something similar.

The Xperia 1 IV is the world's first phone to have a true optical zoom lens. And yet, most people would be surprised to learn that Sony still makes phones. If you're a creative type, photographer, filmmaker, gamer or audiophile, Sony and its Xperia line of phones are after your heart, creativity and wallet.
