Despite all the ridicule and negative press AT&T received for deceiving customers with its “5G Evolution” service, the mobile carrier has stood its ground. The “5G E” symbol that indicates an AT&T subscriber is in range of a network that supports that fastest LTE technologies is still in tact, but a new report from Opensignal this Friday is about as damning an indictment of the misleading practice as we’ve seen since its introduction.

According to Opensignal, while AT&T users with 5G E-capable devices are receiving “a better experience than AT&T users with less capable smartphone models,” T-Mobile and Verizon users are getting better speeds on average with the same devices. 5G E isn’t just equivalent to 4G on other networks — it’s slightly worse.

Remember back in January when Perdue was forced to recall a whole bunch of chicken because there was wood in it, and then Tyson one-upped the company by recalling 36,000 pounds of chicken because there was *checks notes* rubber in it? What a week that was!

You might imagine that after defeating Perdue in The Battle of Bad Chicken, Tyson would take the rest of the year off from hilariously bad recalls, but you’d be wrong. To close out March, Tyson is back at it again, this time recalling nearly 70,000 pounds of ready-to-eat chicken strips that has not wood, not rubber, but metal in it. This is one heck of a sequel.

If, for whatever reason, you’ve been waiting for the right time to rewatch all of the James Bond 007 movies currently available on Netflix, now is the time to embark on that endeavor. On April 1st, Netflix is losing a huge chunk of them — eleven, to be exact — including some of the best movies in the franchise, such as Casino Royale and Goldfinger. There will still be several Bond films left, but you’ll have to go elsewhere for a full marathon.

Other highlights include Heat, Seven, Silver Linings Playbook, and I Love You, Man. And if you want to try to cram an entire TV series into the next week or so, both Luther and Disney’s Star Wars: The Clone Wars are departing in April as well. Try to make some time between NCAA Tournament games this weekend.

Marvel released a second full trailer for Avengers: Endgame last week, and we’ve already analyzed it shot by shot as we sought out details about the upcoming Avengers adventure. Even still, it turns out we watched the trailer the wrong way and missed a big spoiler because of the way the video was formatted. There were different aspect ratios for the YouTube and Instagram versions of the trailer, and the latter showed us that Ant-Man will be rolling around with the miniaturized Hank Pym lab once he comes out of the Quantum Realm. On top of all that, we have two more huge Endgame spoilers for you that were hiding in plain sight in the second trailer.

If you’re like us and pretty much everyone else in the country who pays for cable internet, you hate paying for cable internet. Well, we would happily pay for internet access if it wasn’t to a monopoly that lobbied for exclusive access to each region and then overcharged us as much as possible. There are plenty of bogus fees from your cable company that you can’t do anything about, and it stinks. But there’s one charge of a whopping $10 per month that you’re going to eliminate right now.

Cable companies charge you $10 a month to use their modems. You might not even realize it, but if you look at your bill right now you’ll find a modem rental fee. If you buy your own modem and return theirs, however, you won’t have to pay that fee any longer. Amazon is running a one-day Gold Box sale on cable modems with prices starting at just $55.99. Buy a modem of your choosing, activate it with your cable company using the instructions in the box, and then return the modem you rented from them. Presto, we just saved you $120 a year!

Check out all of the discounted modems below, and remember this sale is only good on Friday.

When Google unveiled its Stadia cloud gaming platform at GDC 2019 earlier this week, it managed to generate both excitement and apprehension from gamers, in roughly equal doses. On one hand, being able to play high-end games like Assassin’s Creed and Tomb Raider and Doom on virtually any connected device is a thrilling prospect. But on the other, Google left us with more questions than answers, despite packing a ton of detail into its keynote.

The biggest hurdle for any cloud gaming service is, obviously, access. While anyone with an internet connection can theoretically connect to Stadia (or OnLive, or Project xCloud, or any of the other services currently in development or already discontinued), how fast does their connection need for solid performance?
