1 Share
Following the acquisition of e vibe-coded gaming platform Gizmo earlier this year, Meta has released its own-brand version of the original app. Called Pocket, the app is described as a “creative platform for making and sharing gizmos”.

Unlike most phones, the T1 still ships with a charger. Trump Mobile seemingly isn’t too worried about e-waste.

Where's the Trump phone? We're going to keep talking about it every week. One year on, our phones have finally arrived.

12 months, 16 days, 21 hours, and 54 minutes after I first heard about Trump Mobile's T1 Phone 8002 (gold version), I'm finally holding one in my own hands.

That's right, The Verge's Trump phones have arrived. And yes, I do mean phones - we have three of them: We ordered two, paid for two, and received three, all of which were sent to the wrong address. You can't beat service like that.

My phone came with a free Trump Mobile SIM card, even though I've not signed up to the company's mobile plan, plus an A4 quick start gui …

IoT Coffee Talk: Episode 320 - "Happy 250th, America!" (The Sestercentennial Celebration)

1 Share
From: Iot Coffee Talk
Duration: 1:02:41
Views: 80

Welcome to IoT Coffee Talk, where hype comes to die a terrible death. We have a fireside chat about all things #IoT over a cup of coffee or two with some of the industry's leading business minds, thought leaders and technologists in a totally unscripted, organic format.

Happy 250th birthday, U.S.A.!

This week Rob, Bill, Pete, Marc, Olivier, and Leonard jump on Web3 for a discussion about:

🎶 🎙️ BAD KARAOKE! 🎸 🥁 "US National Anthem", Leonard Lee (original)
🐣 Celebrating 250 years of America!
🐣 Pete gives an update on the Edge AI London event! Is the EU innovating in Edge AI?
🐣 Is it getting hot in here? Do we need to take off all our clothes?
🐣 What is old is new, but not as new as you thought.
🐣 Never let budget get in the way of success! Formula for innovation slop?
🐣 Do we really need a mass of bad (not-so-great) ideas for one good one?
🐣 Is innovation some times a mistake? Bill makes a case for Viagra.
🐣 Do the British celebrate the 4th of July?
🐣 What is the deal with all the investment in Forward Deployed Engineers? Is AI in trouble?
🐣 Meta is selling capacity and going neocloud. Has the AI play jumped the shark?
🐣 Rob searches for the Zune headstone.
🐣 Would IoT ended up different if we had Forward Deployed Engineers?
🐣 What do developers want?
🐣 We are free because of the brave. Happy 250, Americans!
