See the Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra in all its glory
It has been some time since Apple's direct competitor, Samsung, introduced its flagship called the Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra 5G. If you are at least slightly familiar with mobile devices from Samsung, then you certainly know that in addition to the Galaxy S family, Samsung also has the Note family. The Note product family is quite popular among users of the Android operating system, despite the faux pas of one of the older models, which had to be recalled due to bad and "exploding" batteries. It has been obvious for a long time that Samsung is preparing a new Note. However, now the first ever official photos of this device are available - leaked by the Russian representative office of Samsung. Similar leaks are quite normal even at Apple, to the point where we sometimes have the feeling that they are not leaks, but a classic targeted release of information. You can view the Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra in the gallery I have attached below.

WhatsApp is releasing a new update for macOS
With almost 2 billion users, WhatsApp is one of the most popular communication applications in the world. In addition to the fact that WhatsApp is available on mobile devices, you can also download it on your Mac or PC without any problems. Facebook, which manages WhatsApp, releases various updates from time to time that add some new features. That time came just today when a new update of WhatsApp for macOS was released. If you're wondering what's new in the update, we can mention, following the example of the app for iPhones and iPads, a dark mode (finally). In addition, users saw the addition of animated stickers, integration of QR codes for quickly adding contacts, improvements for video calls (up to 8 people) and more. Of course, WhatsApp is available for free and you can easily update directly in the app. In addition to the app itself, dark mode is also available on the website.
T-Mobile outage for several days
It's been a few weeks since the operator Vodafone faced significant problems with its network. The tables have turned and T-Mobile has been having problems for the last two days. However, it should be noted that T-Mobile customers will practically not notice the problems at all. These are not network outages, but support or internal system outages. So if you have a problem and need advice from support, you will most likely not get an answer for some time. In addition, unfortunately, the customer systems at the branches do not work either - unfortunately, you simply cannot help yourself by visiting a T-Mobile branch in person. The first complications appeared in the early hours of Tuesday, and T-Mobile still hasn't solved its problems. The entire outage was supposed to be fixed by 15:00 p.m., but it didn't happen. According to the latest information, T-Mobile has already managed to repair some systems, but others will require another ten-hour repair.

Czechs spend a fortune on cryptocurrencies
Cryptocurrencies have already successfully completed their boom in the world. Even if it seems to you now that nothing interesting is happening in the world of cryptocurrencies, and that cryptocurrencies are in a way declining, the opposite is true. Cryptocurrencies are not only one of the investment goals for many Czechs, and it must be noted that interest in them is constantly growing. Of course, the greatest interest is in Bitcoins, which make up 90% of all purchased cryptocurrencies in the Czech Republic. If you are interested in the specific amount that Czechs spent on cryptocurrencies this year (ie, how much they invested in them), it is already almost over two billion crowns. This data comes from a domestic cryptocurrency trader, Bitstock.
