Samsung Reveals the New Galaxy Tab A8 Samsung has officially revealed the Galaxy Tab A8. It comes in three models, each with different RAM and storage sizes, but all models sport a 10.5-inch display, 8MP rear camera, 5MP front camera, and more. Want one?

Amazon Web Services Outage Hits DoorDash, Twitch, and More Another Amazon Web Services (AWS) outage affected multiple websites, including Twitch and DoorDash.
