When the Trump family announced its debut into the glitzy world of phone carriers with Trump Mobile, it came with a phone, too: a not-gold slab called the T1. The biggest heady claim (beyond the fact that its sole $47.25 plan would be ‘true value”) is: how can any modern smartphone claim to be made in the US?
Alex Cranz takes Trump Mobile’s sales pitch to task. While we know a lot of the specs, there’s no reference to a processor — and that’s because practically all smartphone processors are not made in the US. That’s just the start.

SpaceX's Starship explodes again during a routine test
It was the 10th test flight in Starbase, Texas.
A SpaceX Starship vehicle has exploded yet again, and this time, the incident occurred before it even took off. NASASpaceflight captured the event in a livestream, wherein you can see the spacecraft (Ship 36) suddenly explode into a fireball after the company tested its forward flap and just before it was supposed to conduct a static fire test. The company said it was due to a “major anomaly”. Yeah, I’d agree.

Framework Laptop 12 review
Doing the right thing comes at a cost.
Framework’s latest repairable laptop is a smaller 12-inch model, with the same modular features of its predecessors. With a bright plastic build, it’s aimed at students, and there’s a lot to like. According to Engadget’s Daniel Cooper, it’s a little too expensive, especially in the face of the cheap (and disposable) laptops it’s looking to supplant.
Garmin’s newest wearable is a sleep tracker with a week of battery life
It’s meant to work with your Garmin smartwatch.
It doesn’t look like the usual Garmin affair. The fitness tracking company is getting into bed. Literally. The Index Sleep Monitor offers week-long battery life with continuous pulse ox tracking for monitoring your blood oxygen saturation while you sleep. Garmin’s tracker is worn on the upper arm and tracks multiple metrics, including skin temperature, light, deep, and REM sleep stages as well as variations in heart rate and breathing.
Skin temperature tracking provides a clearer understanding of how your sleep environment impacts the quality of your sleep, even identifying potential illnesses based on your body temperature. It also features menstrual health tracking, with skin temperature changes useful for tracking cycles.
