This is it, Galaxy Note fans, this is the week you’ve been waiting for. The Note 10 will be shown to the world on Wednesday, a phone that doesn’t really have any meaningful surprises left. We saw everything leak in the past few months, and we know everything there is to know about the handset. The Note 10 will look a lot better than its predecessor, featuring a design that’s nearly identical to the Galaxy S10.

We’re looking at a slightly updated Infinity-O screen with the hole-punch camera placed centrally rather than on the side, curved edges and thin top and bottom bezels. On the back, there’s a triple-lens camera or better, featuring a vertical alignment. The specs, meanwhile, are almost on par with other 2019 Android flagships, although the phone will get you a new Exynos chip, more storage and RAM, and better battery tech. When it comes to the latter, both the Note 10 and Note 10+ should deliver faster wired and wireless charging speeds, with the emphasis on wired. And Samsung has already confirmed the feature in anticipation of its August 7th press event.

At a Television Critics Association event in Beverly Hills, Showtime president Gary Levine unveiled the network’s new addition to the growing plethora of subscription streaming services, named Showtime Maxi+ Plus.

It was a joke, of course, as well as a dig against rivals like HBO and Disney and their forthcoming HBO Max and Disney+ streamers that the Showtime boss ripped apart while speaking to attendees gathered in a Beverly Hilton ballroom. For that matter, you can also lump Netflix — to a degree — into the targets of his ire, and in his insistence that amid all of that change and those new players, Showtime represents “an island of stability.”

Although the latest month of Netflix releases technically kicked off a few days ago, this feels like the first real week of August, as we are getting a brand new season of GLOW, which is one of the most underrated original series on the entire streaming platform. It’s clearly popular enough to have lasted this long (unlike Tuca and Bertie, RIP), but no matter how many people are watching, more should be. So if you haven’t, catch up already!

Other highlights include the fifth season of iZombie (which kind of went off the rails a couple seasons ago, but was a stellar procedural in its prime), the fifth season of Jane the Virgin, and a Rocko’s Modern Life movie, because ’90s nostalgia will literally never die, no matter how hard anyone tries to kill it.

You read that headline correctly, boys and girls: the Hyquadio Waterproof Hydro-Powered Bluetooth 4.0 Shower Speaker doesn’t use any batteries and it never needs to be charged. Instead, this brilliant shower speaker installs behind your shower head and it’s powered by the water that runs through it on the way to the shower head.

Hyquadio Water Hydro-Powered Bluetooth 4.0 Shower Speaker Waterproof – No Recharging Required: $44.99

Here’s the key info from the product page:

• Never has to be recharged – Hyquadio has a micro hydroelectric generator that powers the speaker whenever you are showering.

Considering we can’t actually see the Milky Way from the outside — since, you know, we’re in it — astronomers know a surprising amount about our home galaxy. They know its overall structure, where we are in it, and what likely lies deep in its heart (spoiler: it’s probably a supermassive black hole).

Now, researchers from the University of Warsaw have created what they believe is the most accurate 3D model of our galaxy to date, and it shows that the Milky Way isn’t nearly as flat as we might imagine it to be. In fact, it’s a warped, weird, wonderful mess.

Huawei chairman Liang Hua at a press conference a few days ago deftly avoided giving a direct answer when asked by a reporter whether the Mate 30, expected in October, will launch with a Huawei-designed mobile operating system if the current US ban stays in place. The ban whose effects have included Google not being allowed to provide Android updates to Huawei going forward, once a temporary reprieve expires later this month.

The newest installment in the Fast & Furious franchise — Hobbs & Shaw, topped by Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and Jason Statham — looks headed to a $57 million opening weekend in North America, according to early estimates.

More specifically — how a movie like this can get audiences off the sofa and into a theater seat in an age of convenience-driven streaming dominance.
