Trump Mobile execs showcase the T1 Phone's new design and specs, and say the phones go through "final assembly" in Miami and full assembly in the US is a "goal" (Dominic Preston/The Verge)

If you're packing for a trip to the U.S. then don't forget your toothbrush and a burner phone. A stripped down cell phone is no longer the tool of criminals and spies. Now you too can smugly hand over your phone to a customs agent and say, "Knock yourself out...". Unless you're non-white because then you are going to get disappeared anyway....

Screenshot of a mobile phone displaying a message in a language that appears to be German, discussing a word puzzle with playful and apologetic tone: „Okay, I'll tell you! 😊

The solution was: KREEE

Wait... that wouldn't be a valid word! 🤔

Let me check again - I think I made a mistake. With ERSTE, I said that both E's are in the word, but not in the correct positions...

A dark-themed chat window with German text discussing correcting a typo, suggesting solutions, and asking for possible alternatives: „Touché! You're absolutely right - "ETUIT" is not a real German word. That was a fail on my part! Thanks for the humor.

With the previous hints (_ _ _ TT, contains an E, no R/S/N/B), the correct word is GEWITT...

Wait, no, that doesn't exist either.

#Samsung phones are such a pain.
I had a friend over and we had to put a SIM card in a Samsung phone to receive text. Turns out you can't do anything with the damn phone (except emergency calls) until you provide Wi-Fi and allow it to install all kinds of scamware on behest of the mobile network. What a waste of time and resources.

Netflix has removed the ability to cast shows and movies from phones to TVs,
unless subscribers are using older casting devices.
An updated help page on Netflix’s website, first reported by Android Authority, says that
the streaming service “no longer supports casting shows from a mobile device to most TVs and TV-streaming devices,”
and instead directs users to navigate Netflix using the remote that came with their TV hardware.
The change seems to have rolled ou…

The image captures a playful scene in what appears to be a European town square. The primary focus is a large, mobile phone charger, cleverly designed to resemble a tractor. This contraption features a massive black tire, a beige wheel hub, and a rectangular housing that holds a large, mock-up smartphone with a charging cable plugged in. The phrase "Push N Go" is prominently displayed on the side of the device.

The problem I have with the Telegraph's "China hacked the mobile phones of senior officials in Downing Street" is that it implies that mobile phone handsets had been compromised, but only gives statements about the networks. In terms of compromise, those pose two different sets of risk.

When I moved out of London over a decade ago, there was some move towards having wifi availability in the deep tube lines, but there were still plenty of places where smartphones became dumbphones when you were in the tunnels.
This article is a very interesting and non-technical run through of how over the last few years they finally solved the problem of putting 21st-century wifi technology into 19th-century train tunnels.
