Google Pixel 10 design leaked: expect a 6.3 inch display and camera bar with three rear cameras. Basically it looks like a Pixel 9 with an extra camera - maybe telephoto is coming to the non-Pro model? https://www.androidheadlines.com/google-pixel-10 #Pixel10 #Google #Smartphones

NC Newsline: NC House committee approves measure to limit student cellphone use. “A bill that would require North Carolina school boards to adopt policies that either eliminate or severely limit student use of cell phones during the school day is moving in the state House of Representatives. The House Committee on Education voted to advance House Bill 87 on Tuesday.”
My Pixel 6a has no jack so I bought 3 usb-c/jack adaptators last year. They have been really unreliable since then and now are pretty useless. I mostly listen to #music (connected to wired earphones/headphones or my old car radio).
I'm disgusted and have no idea what to buy now. I don't like the idea of another disposable battery equipment but don't see any other solution.
Any idea? Any recommandation for wireless #earphones or portable adapters, both with quality sound?

“#Apps have burrowed their way into seemingly every aspect of our lives and there are lots of reasons why companies are pushing us to use them”
Above all, to #collect massive amounts of personal #data on users, thanks to their ability to constantly #monitor, use the phone's sensors and leak existing data stored on the phone. Something no website can do. Apps are full of spywares.

Researchers have found taking a break from our smartphones for a certain time period decreases depressive symptoms. And it appears to be doing a better job than antidepressants. @npr explains exactly how long we need to stay off of our phones to feel the benefits.
‘The tyranny of apps’: those without smartphones are unfairly penalised, say campaigners
I really hate this trend forcing us to rely on #smartphones for all sorts of #tickets.
Here's why 
:
I like to have a safety plan in case my phone gets stolen, lost, malfunctions or simply doesn't get a network connection. I have travelled a lot in my life and all of these situations happened to me.
I refuse to pull out my phone everywhere and have random people or cameras look at it. Not because of the phone model, but because I value my #privacy, my unlock code or any other

Apple is calling the $599 iPhone 16e (formerly SE) a budget phone.
It's almost PhP 40,000. Explains why only 10% of Filipinos own an iPhone.
In rich countries, it's a "phone that just works." For the rest of the world, it is a status symbol that shows how "elite" and "successful" you are.
Apple is truly an aspirational brand: Everyone wants an iPhone but few can afford it. Apple is proving the "walled garden" allegations.

Apple drops the 4.7-inch iPhone SE, now offering only larger models in 6.1-inch, 6.7-inch, and 6.9-inch sizes. 
Is this the end of the compact iPhone?

Seeing the price of the #iPhone16e, how much you think the starting price of the upcoming #iPhone17 will be?
@Beggarmidas @Em0nM4stodon personally, I do consider #Smartphones an attack vector and recommend everyone to use @tails_live / @tails / #Tails or at least @torproject / #Tor via @guardianproject / #Orbot and ideally open, #PublicWiFi like @freifunk / #freifunk.
Fortunately, @monocles / #monoclesChat integrates Orbot Support so it's just a few taps to get everything tunned through Tor!

If @signalapp cared, they would've #decentralized and put their backend on Tor and not demand #PII like a #PhoneNumber.
