At This Point, It’s Impossible to Know What the Trump Phone Looks Like

It's been over two months since Trump Mobile announced the T1 Phone was being “Made in the USA” designed “with American values in mind,” and it seems that anyone deciding to preorder it still can’t be sure exactly what phone they might receive. In posts on X and Instagram on Wednesday, the Trump Mobile account encouraged followers to place their preorder, promising them that “the wait is almost over.” This was joined by an image that looks nothing like the one of the T1 phone that's currently o

YC-backed Oway raises $4M to build a decentralized ‘Uber for freight’

Thousands of semi trucks that cut across the U.S. highway system each day are harboring a secret: they’re only about half full. That inefficiency represents a multi-billion dollar opportunity.

San Francisco-based startup Oway is seeking out a narrower business model that more closely resembles Uber for freight, especially

5 of the best Pixel 10 chargers you should buy instead of Google’s 67W brick

Google has a new charger for the Pixel 10 series, offering 67W of peak power spread across two USB-C ports. As an official product, this is the safe bet for guaranteed fast charging, but it’s also more power than you might need, and it’s not exactly the most affordable plug on the market either. Likewise, perhaps you’re after just a single-port plug or maybe want something that can power your laptop and tablet as well as your new Pixel?

Everything is correlated (2014–23)

“Why summaries of research on psychological theories are often uninterpretable”, Meehl (also discussed in Cohen’s paper “The Earth is Round (p < 0.05)”): Problem 6.
