This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
eventually it will be illegal to use anything but Trump products
and at some point Trump to want to be the calendar, too.
edit: and that phone will prolly turn off if you record the police; and I can't imagine the amount of spying on users that that phone must do.
Top features:
PATRIOTIC bloatware with Mahjong
Lee Greenwood and Kid Rock ringtones
“Starlink GPS” on the box but it’s hastily scratched out in tear-stained whiteboard marker
I think this is a great idea. Will make it easy to identify which people I should never speak to again.
Trump really is trying to be hitler. He even invented his own “star of David” in the form of a phone.
The first 100 customers will be added to the next war plans group chat.
“a sleek, gold smartphone engineered for performance and proudly designed and built in the United States.”
Alright, so clearly this is a bald-face lie? How the hell can they claim this? What kind of made in america SOC are they using?
It depends on how they define "built."
The Moto X was touted as being built in the US, it was assembled in Texas with parts made in Asia.
I believe the Made in USA Labeling Act passed 2021 would prevent following the Moto X approach of just final assembly, but I suppose it's up to trump's FTC to make the final call regardless, easy enough for them to issue an exception.
Specifically:
it is an unfair or deceptive act or practice within the meaning to label any product as Made in the United States unless the final assembly or processing of the product occurs in the United States, all significant processing that goes into the product occurs in the United States, and all or virtually all ingredients or components of the product are made and sourced in the United States.
They don't need to issue an exception, they can just turn a blind eye. And considering Trump appointed the chair of the FTC with one of his loyalists (like every other branch) that seems likely.
🤦
No discussion in the article about fraud or conflict of interest.
Why mention it? We all know it, and for his supporters it's a feature, not a bug.
Why should there be? Everything this administration does is fraudulent and has conflict of interest. It's ok because they say it's okay. You are thinking more like when things were democratic perhaps?
There's no way this isn't an attempt to wiretap people
The 'smart' phones in everybody's pockets already are. Kind of, more or less.
Well perhaps the intention wasn't to wiretap everybody, but it has ended up that way.
Anyone who pays for this deserves to get scammed
Feels like the Escobar phone
It's definitely going to be the Escobar Phone all over again. Anyone who accidentally receives one will get a foil-wrapped $150 Huawei handset with a preinstalled background image.
It amazes me the sane half (third?) of the US hasn't overthrown this government yet. Or have they fled to North Korea where things are much better?
There are numerous errors on the page, from a processor section that doesn’t list a processor
Shit-tier Mediatek. Calling it now.
This a is the funniest shit I’ve seen all year. Holy hell, how is this not the onion?!
At least this will make it easier to identify douchebags
Easier than spotting the Cybertrucks?
Bets its not made in America? lol
100% guaranteed. The US does not have the manufacturing infrastructure for such products as a result of half a century of off-shoring to avoid organized labor.
I'll bet every dollar I have. Literally no one makes phones in America. It would take a giant company like Apple or Google billions of dollars and a decade of construction and education/recruiting, then they'd have to sell them for a competitive price out of the kindness of their hearts, because there's no financial motivation.
It's going to be utter shite
Never gonna happen. Its a grift. See how you have to give them 100 dollars down now, get phone at later date,( to be announced) It's a scam. Says phones are made in America. We don't make phones here and all experts say it would take years to do so if we tried.
Insert parody of Raffi’s banana phone here
Hahahahahahaha wow this is real
Yet another way for Russian daddy to send him money without anyone knowing.
