I spent a year trying to figure out if the Trump phone is a scam

It’s still unclear what the T1 Phone even is, or if it will ever ship.

Nimble’s shareable power bank that splits into two batteries is now available.

After first debuting at CES 2026, the Champ Stack 10K, renamed to the Sharepower, is now available through Apple and Nimble’s online store for $79.95. The 10,000mAh power bank magnetically bifurcates to become a pair of 20W 5,000mAh batteries. One features a short lanyard-stye USB-C cable while the other uses a folding USB-C connector.

<em>An LCD battery percentage showing remaining battery life is only included on one side of the Sharepower.</em>
<em>One half connects directly to devices using a folding USB-C connector, while the other half has a USB-C port on a 7-inch cable.</em>
<em>The Sharepower is available in white but later this summer it will be available with an additional liquid crystal blue or liquid crystal pink shell.</em>

Snazzy Labs got their Trump Phone preorder and it’s a disaster.

Quinn Nelson is one of the lucky (?) few to actually get their hands on the T1. The Trump Mobile emails kept going to spam, the site is broken, and a customer service agent asked for his password over the phone. Spoiler: Things didn’t get better once he turned it on.

Siri is better, but its limitations are much more obvious on a Mac than an iPhone.

My mayor’s Muslim, my bagel’s Jewish, my heart rate’s fried, KNICKS IN FIVE!

Oura says New Yorkers’ hearts were palpitating on Wednesday night during Game 4. Turns out, baseline heart rates increased by 3.7 beats on average at the final buzzer. Heart rates were also elevated for the entirety of the game, and nobody seemed to get a peaceful night of sleep. Guessing we’re in for more of the same on Saturday.
