androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-09-19 15:30:04

On June 16, 2025, I pre-ordered an Android smartphone. I’ve done this dozens of times before in my life, but this time was a little different. On that day, I was pre-ordering a phone that I didn’t want and had every reason to believe I would never actually see. The device in question was the T1 Phone, the first phone from a brand new company called Trump Mobile. Trump Mobile is both a new carrier and phone company started by President Donald Trump’s sons, Donald Trump, Jr. and Eric Trump. The T

Russia’s Space Chief Touts ‘Rapid’ Development of Starlink Rival

gizmodo.com Ellyn Lapointe 2025-09-20 17:00:47

With more than 6 million active users, SpaceX’s Starlink has become the world’s leading provider of high-speed satellite internet. That prominence has sparked some rivalry, and not least with other world powers—including Russia. In a televised interview on Wednesday, the head of Russia’s Roscosmos space agency said it is pushing full steam ahead on an alternative to Starlink, Reuters reported. Dmitry Bakanov said that Roscosmos has partnered with Bureau 1440, a Russian aerospace company, to dev

In addition to new hardware announcements, Meta had software news to share during its Meta Connect 2025 conference today.

James Martin/CNET NordVPN and Surfshark are two of the best virtual private network providers on the market, and while they share some similarities -- including the same parent company -- each packs unique offerings. NordVPN is our pick for the fastest VPN, based on our hands-on testing, while Surfshark earns our vote for the best value VPN.

PSA: The Starbucks app is broken, but here’s how to use it anyway

A slew of people are reporting that the Starbucks app is completely broken. With too-perfect irony, the thing that is breaking it is an app satisfaction survey … Multiple users are reporting that the app forces you to complete the survey before you can use the app to do anything radical like, oh, I don’t know, ordering a cup of coffee. The problem is that even after you have completed the survey, it still doesn’t let you in: it just loops back to the survey. Twitter user Ike found a workaround
