Now you can securely link multiple #phones to one #Signal account. When you link a device on Signal, you can check and respond to new messages across all of your linked devices

I just cannot believe how awful the smartphone market has become. It’s like “we’ve created a world where you have to live indoors with a skunk. But our skunk comes in Ibiza Orange and includes one month of free rabies!” #tech #phones #apple #google

Ugh. I complained about the orange.pl mobile site before, but their desktop page feels almost malicious. You try to get a new phone on there, and unless you really watch out all the settings are for the most expensive options, for the longest contracts. And if you click the wrong place anything you changed will be reset to the most expensive option yet again. Feels like a classic dark pattern: at one point most people will just say "fuck it" and choose the more expensive plan. #phones

This week's comic: Mangled Messaging Mayhem #technology #phones #texting #communication #tech #cartoon #comic #humor

Just tried to reboot my Pixel 6 into #Android 16, and…the #phone is stone-cold dead. Black screen, no response to buttons, power+volume doesn't work. This is not acceptable! When a PC operating system gets bricked, you can still boot into BIOS, enable booting from USB, and use a rescue/installer USB stick to repair or reinstall the OS. Can we please have #phones that are similarly fail-safe? Not this unreliable nonsense? Thanks. 😡

🚨 U.S. folks. There is one day left to comment on the FCC proposed rule to eradicate anonymity on all phone lines!

If they pass this rule government ID, physical address, and alternative phone number will be required for every new phone line. Anonymous phone lines and burner phones will cease to exist. That means no connected privacy via cellular at protests.

** Please add your comment! **

I'm just old enough to remember that my grandparents had rotary dial only service at their house outside of town, up to sometime in the 90's. I always wondered if their rural phone service had a stepper switch instead of ESS... #phones

I cannot wait for European countries to impose a mandatory law for phone corporations to unlock the bootloader for their phones. I think this step will pave the way for mobile OS to thrive as #Linux did. #OS #Graphene #mobile #phones #bootloader
