⚡ The Hidden Cost of Convenience
Windows is pushing users toward the cloud—without asking. Your files, your settings, your digital life moved and managed remotely, often without your explicit consent. Add to that the constant stream of forced updates, and you’ve got a system that prioritizes control over user rights. Convenience might feel smooth, but it comes with serious risks when corporations decide what happens to your data.

Again...the air gap with Elon and PDJT was necessary....
Yes, Starlink phones—or more accurately, Starlink’s direct-to-cell service—are coming soon. Here's the latest:
📅 Timeline & Rollout
1. Text-only beta, using standard LTE phones, launched in 2024:
SpaceX deployed the first six “direct-to-cell” satellites in January 2024, capable of basic SMS texting directly to unmodified smartphones .
Text messaging via satellite began rolling out in that same year .
2. Voice & Data services expected in 2025:
Starlink’s roadmap indicates text in 2024, voice and data in 2025 .
🚀 Current Availability
T-Mobile is actively running a free beta through July 2025 in the U.S.:
Initially limited to text messaging, with voice and data on the roadmap .
Works on most phones from the past four years, though there are some exceptions (like OnePlus, Xiaomi, and older Motorola models) .
Supports iPhone 14+, Pixel 9, and recent Samsung devices .
🌐 What to Expect
Coverage expands beyond the U.S. with partnerships underway in Canada, Japan, Australia, and more .
Beta extensions:
iPhone 13 and newer (including Mini, Pro, Pro Max) can now access the service in the U.S. .
Speed & performance:
Limited to around 2–4 Mbps total per “cell” area—enough for texting now; voice and data coming later .
✅ Summary
Text-messaging via Starlink is available now in beta on newer phones.
Voice and data functionalities should arrive in 2025.
Broad rollout likely by late 2025 into 2026, as more satellites reach orbit and the service gains FCC approvals—and more carriers join globally.

🗨Your Android phone may soon recommend you use an 'optimized' voice assistant over other options
Google has added a new feature in Android that lets OEMs highlight specific digital assistants as “optimized” for their Android devices.
The timing of this addition is certainly interesting given Google's legal issues over its deals that make its own assistant the default on Android. However, the company told me this feature will be optional for OEMs, and that it won't be using it on its own devices.
More details👇🏾
