Travelers to the U.S. must pay a new $250 'visa integrity fee' – what to know

news.ycombinator.com Monica Pitrelli 2025-07-20 05:50:47

Visitors to the United States will need to pay a "visa integrity fee," according to a provision of the Trump administration's recently enacted One Big Beautiful Bill Act. The fee applies to all visitors who need nonimmigrant visas to enter, and cannot be waived. However travelers may also be able to get the fees reimbursed, according to the provision. Details about the new requirement are scant, which has resulted in "significant challenges and unanswered questions regarding implementation,"

Don’t be duped: Verizon, AT&T, and T-Mobile’s cheapest plans aren’t worth it

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-07-23 06:00:22

Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority Recently, my cousin asked me whether Verizon’s myPlan Unlimited Welcome was better than his legacy plan, prompted by a promotional email he received. At first glance, the new plan looked cheaper and similar in features. But upon closer examination, his legacy plan had notable advantages, especially higher-priority data and a few other perks. Truthfully, none of the entry-level postpaid plans from Verizon, T-Mobile, or AT&T offer great value in 2025. There ar

The best free VPNs of 2025: Secure, safe, and fast VPNs

zdnet.com Charlie Osborne 2025-07-24 22:32:00

My top pick for free VPNs available in 2025 is Proton VPN, which, despite its limits, will suit many users who do not want to subscribe. Why we like it: The free version of Proton VPN offers many useful features that are paid for through other services and VPN subscribers. This is important when it comes to free VPN services, as it provides a measure of security and data protection that some shady services do not. After all, if your information is being sold in return for a VPN connection, this

Need a good alternative to the big three? These carriers are my top 3 recommendations

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-08-21 15:00:44

Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority For years, many of us have gone directly to the big carriers for phone service. But with rising costs and the gradual disappearance of extras like streaming perks, is it time to consider an alternative? While it’s true that Verizon, AT&T, and T-Mobile control the only three mobile networks with wide national coverage, there are plenty of other carriers that piggyback off this same infrastructure. These providers can offer much cheaper alternatives to traditi

Few Americans pay for news when they encounter paywalls

news.ycombinator.com Emily Tomasik 2025-08-28 16:46:38

Compilation of major news outlets’ paywalls prompting readers to become paid subscribers to view their content. (Pew Research Center collage) Newspaper revenue has been in decline for decades, and most Americans now prefer to get news from digital devices. In this environment, many news organizations – and not just newspapers – put paywalls on their websites or apps, blocking access to articles or other content unless news consumers pay or subscribe. The vast majority of Americans (83%) say th

Trump Mobile promise telehealth and roadside perks, but is it worth the cost?

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-09-02 00:00:43

From businessman to politician, and now to wireless service provider? Coming way out of left field, it seems the Trump Organization is now looking to leverage the Trump name to bring phone service to its fan base. According to the Trump Organization, the company won’t directly operate Trump Mobile and is instead licensing the rights to an unnamed third party. Trump Mobile will offer just one plan, dubbed the 47 Plan, as a not-so-subtle nod to Trump’s current presidential term. The company will

ChatGPT Free vs. ChatGPT Plus: The $20 Per Month Is Worth It

cnet.com See Full Bio 2025-09-06 06:00:09

Last year when I first reviewed ChatGPT, the most well-known AI chatbot in the world, I felt that most people shouldn't pay for it. A year later, I still believe that casual users are fine using the free version. However, OpenAI, the creator of ChatGPT, has rolled out a slew of updates and improvements making it the $20 per month. That's especially true if you're increasingly using it for research or for parsing through large amounts of data. OpenAI now gives paid ChatGPT users access to the o1

cnet.com See Full Bio 2025-09-07 01:25:21

T-Mobile has debuted new prepaid plans with a bump in data for its cheapest month-to-month plans, but the big upgrade is T-Mobile's guarantee that its prices won't change for the next five years, a feature on some of the best phone plans. T-Mobile introduced its five-year price guarantee on its premium plans back in April to appeal to subscribers wary of rising costs. As consumers worry about tariff-related price increases and the potential of a recession, it's a savvy move for the carrier to e

T-Mobile’s new prepaid plans look great on paper, but is there a catch?

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-09-07 21:42:39

Joe Maring / Android Authority TL;DR T‑Mobile is shaking up its prepaid offerings with three plans, ranging from $40 to $60 per month for one line. The new plans largely look like an upgrade, but there are a few possible catches around prioritization and family discounts. The new plans look similar to what you’ll find from other prepaid plans based on T-Mobile’s network, though whether they are better or not remains unseen until we know a bit more. Earlier this year, T-Mobile unveiled its ne

Trump Mobile is a bad deal

is The Verge’s executive editor. He has covered tech, policy, and online creators for over a decade. Trump Mobile launched this morning with a single prepaid wireless plan and the promise of nationwide coverage for $47.45 per month. For that price, you get unlimited talk and texting, international calling, plus 20GB of “high-speed” cell and hotspot data, which a customer support representative told me is 5G.

Paid proxy servers vs free proxies: Is paying for a proxy service worth it?

zdnet.com Charlie Osborne 2025-09-14 14:01:08

marian / Getty Images Proxy servers are the middlemen of cyberspace. Acting as gateways between our devices and the Internet, proxy servers are used by businesses and individuals worldwide for a variety of tasks. While proxy servers were once almost exclusively used by companies to redistribute traffic and load or for caching purposes, they now offer a degree of online anonymity for individuals. Requests you make are first sent to the proxy and then forwarded -- and this process assigns you a

An honest and in-depth look at how Mint Mobile really compares to the big three carriers

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-06-02 14:43:35

Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority Mint Mobile is arguably one of the most well-known prepaid brands, thanks in large part to a massive marketing campaign featuring actor and former partial owner Ryan Reynolds. You’ve probably heard about how you can save big by paying upfront, with plans starting as low as $15 a month. But is Mint Mobile too good to be true? Are prepaid carriers really worth it compared to the major postpaid networks? The answer depends on your needs, level of tech knowledge,
