The point is not that there's anything inherently wrong with a Chinese phone, but that they're lying by saying it's designed and manufactured in the USA. It is neither.

Yes, I wouldn't assume the picture has anything to do with the phone (if any) people will actually receive.

He ripped off the font, and some are saying it's a slightly tweaked REVVL 7 Pro 5G, which is a midrange Chinese phone T-Mobile already sells for $170 with a T on the back. Trump's T is a bit bigger. Would be fun to see T-Mobile take legal action...

Yep, apparently it's a cosmetically tweaked Wingtech REVVL 7 Pro 5G, which goes for $170 under the T-Mobile brand on Amazon.

Eric Trump admitted it was going to be made in China, so the press release's description, "designed and built in the United States," is just a lie, or actually two lies.

'Eventually': Eric Trump admits new mobile phone isn't being made in the USA

And happier people are less downtrodden, which is why corporations don't want us working from home.

I thought he was saying the killer was a Marxist. Which is obviously false but aligns with the Republicans' utter refusal to understand words.

If by "everyone" you mean the people stupid enough to buy a made-in-China Trump phone.

The projection.

This will show the fascists that they have a means to shut down all protest.

Apple's "find my" network can find your phone when it's turned off, because the phone continues to transmit low-energy Bluetooth which other devices in that network receive and report. So if you're in a crowd with a switched-off iPhone and other people have their devices on, it's still possible for your location to be tracked. There may be other modern phones that do this too, continuing to transmit low power signals to nearby devices. If you really don't want to be tracked, you can't be sure Airplane Mode or turning the phone off will be sufficient.

You don't get the same feeling of suspicion about what the machine is up to. Windows 11 feels like the computer spends just enough time doing what you want that you don't walk away forever in frustration, but most of the resources are spent doing unspecified things in the background for people you don't know, who are very interested in what you're doing. My Windows XP machine's CPU scores 75 on Passmark, while my Windows 11 machine scores about 46,000. But the speed at which they do many ordinary things isn't so different, because Windows 11 does so much heavy stuff in the background. My Linux machines (scoring between 8,000 and 28,000) all feel tangibly faster than Win 11.

One possible motive is that the Minnesota legislature had a one-seat majority for the Democrats. Shooting two Democratic representatives might have been an attempt to change the math.

It's worth noting that Democrats had a majority of one seat in the Minnesota legislature, until this person killed one Democratic representative and tried to kill another.

At least one of them (Hortman) has died.

Democratic politicians in a legislature where Democrats had a one-seat majority. Fascists will do anything to seize power.

It actually wasn't.

It's weakness. The whole world sees it as weakness.
