androidauthority.com Unknown 2026-01-24 22:18:45

Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority TL;DR T-Mobile has added two new privacy toggles: one for sharing certain financial information and another for fraud/identity theft protection. The first toggle allows T-Mobile to share your financial data with affiliates and marketers, while the second is meant to help detect fraud. You can disable both toggles in the T-Life app, and for most people, turning off the first is strongly recommended. T-Mobile and the other big carriers have a certain reputat

What is the best internet provider in Indianapolis? CNET recommends AT&T Fiber as the best choice for internet in Indianapolis due to its fast speeds and overall availability. With speeds up to 5,000Mbps for $245 per month, residents looking for the best speeds shouldn't look elsewhere. However, if you end up outside the internet service provider's area, we recommend Spectrum's cable service as a fantastic alternative.

Rita El Khoury / Android Authority It’s been 20 years to the day since Google made what you might consider its “best deal ever” by acquiring a small, unknown startup called Android, Inc. The founders, Andy Rubin and Chris White, had first set out to build an operating system for digital cameras, but when they failed to attract investors in 2004, they pivoted to creating a mobile operating system, and went pitching their new project looking for investor support.

Albuquerque, New Mexico: home of green chiles, 300 days of sunshine, the International Balloon Fiesta... and achingly slow internet. Of the top 100 cities in the US, Albuquerque ranks 85th, according to data from Ookla. (Disclaimer: Ookla is owned by Ziff Davis, the same company that owns CNET.)

T-Mobile has abandoned all of its programs for diversity, equity and inclusion. In a letter to the Federal Communications Commission, the telecom said that it "is ending its DEI-related policies [...] not just in name, but in substance." T-Mobile conveniently waited to dismantle its DEI efforts until it was awaiting FCC approval for two major deals.
