He was pissed to find out Ceaser has his own entire month.
Caesar not only got a month Caesar rewrote the calendar. It was called the Julian Calendar and used for like a 1500 years.
Trump will try to do the same.

Looking at the webpage, it's obviously a 100% Chinese product licensing the Trump name.
There are numerous errors on the page, from a processor section that doesn’t list a processor, RAM that’s described as storage, and the boast of a “5000mAh long life camera,” when it presumably means the battery.
If you ever thought the Trumps weren't grifters, this should clear it up:
“Trump Mobile is going to revolutionize cellphones, mobile calling,” Eric Trump told Fox News
There's absolutely nothing revolutionary here. It's a cheap Chinese phone in a tacky case and an overpriced very-not-new MVNO phone service.
I'm other words, it's just another example of how not to do business that all the rubes will throw money at.
Awesome.

You are not joking. Comparing a $2000 Purism Liberty with eg. a $200 HMD Fusion. The Fusion has somewhat better screen and battery; much better processor and camera. More RAM, the option of more storage, has NFC. It's also designed to be easy-to-maintain, but is somewhat thinner and lighter despite having a larger screen area. Are 'made in USA' and 'open-source drivers' worth paying 10x as much for a noticeably worse phone? (It's not really 'made in USA' either - it's a mix of US, Chinese and Indian parts assembled in the USA.)
I think that the people who believe a US-made iPhone will also cost $2k are kidding themselves - economy of scale and all that, but it must be substantially more.
3 years of security updates, ships with Android 14 and gets two version upgrades, to Android 16, which is the version being released right now. I feel that isn't the solution either.

Open source drivers means the manufacturers might not backdoor rootkit. Imagine how much money they're leaving on the table not being able to sell spying on you?

Next: Watch the Trump administration try to force the big national carriers to give preferential treatment to Trump Mobile on their radio hardware
I think he'll try bigger and simply try to nationalize or end licensing for the big 4.

Is this
Phone service under the direct control of the President of the United States of America
Small government?
small government
I think they want to aerosolize it. I swear you can't understand the ruling class without reading 'snow crash'.

Looking forward to a map produced next year by some thinly veiled US-supported NGO that shows corruption in the world and America will still be not corrupt but America's enemies will be very corrupt.
Hungary already kind of did that.

Not only am I aware but I worked for Omaha Steaks when he kicked that off.
I wish you a speedy and affordable recovery

the whole spec list and image was probably an ai prompt output
Oh for sure. If it does actually exist though, it's definitely gonna be a $40 Chinese whitelabel model.

Make gold gross again.
Biometals are way cooler anyways. Copper? Zinc? Cobalt? Molybdenum? Iron? Tin? Manganese?
All these are essential to our life and provide actual use compared to the utter lifeless and obsolete gold that only serves greed among the ghouls chasing it.

Is $47 considered a good deal in the states nowadays? Before I left (2015) I was paying about $80/month.
Now I'm in the Netherlands and I pay $7/month
I don't remember what my plan is but it's something like 8gb data and more minutes/SMS than I could ever use.Cell/internet/TV plans are a total racket in the US.

Not really. I'm on Visible Wireless prepay and pay $25/month for unlimited data, including unlimited hotspot (rate limited at 5 mb/s on the hotspot).
If it's a post-pay plan, then it might be competitive, as the rates are around what you remember for those. Since they're talking about a $500 phone instead of "free with plan," I'm assuming it's prepaid where you have to buy the phone separately.
Edit: okay, read the article and it's prepaid. It's not a good value and is easily beat my several existing services.

Why do we need celebrity owned cell carriers? This article makes it sound like a bad thing Ryan Reynolds’s exited Mint, but at least the stars of arrested development still have a cell provider.
I mean WTF, I like that there is competition but what the fuck is wrong with us that we prefer celebrity endorsement to actual features, value, longevity, etc.
I know it’s a bigger question than what I’m asking but this is all part of the rot that our economy is experiencing. All vibes, all promises, all scams, this country runs on nothing but grift.
