I'm on Facebook* because other people I care about are on Facebook. Sony PSN was the only other I service I've used where that was a critical factor. Not the same as Amazon or T-Mobile or anyone else abusing AI.

* I'm unaware of FB having a paid subscription, even if it exists nobody I know has mentioned it. If that was a reference to the blue check I only have one friend who has done that and it was for professional reasons.

"TI already produces huge amounts of ICs in Texas"

The QC in Texas must be absolute ass. One customer of mine uses a 10-pin LED driver IC from TI on the BOM. The piece of shit blows itself out fresh off the reel one out of every roughly 20 times. You aren't even pulling a full fucking amp at 48V and this thing rockets off the board, taking traces and pads with it.

No, there isn't a short. On the boards where the pads and traces survive, replacing the IC (usually) fixes the issue.

Heck I'm paying like $32/mo which includes tethering and a line for my Apple Watch with Visible. It wasn't even a sale or promotion. I guess MAAAYBE if they included the phone it'd be roughly equivalent? But I'm not interested in reading the article again to find out if that's the case. Frankly it's bad enough that they're making claims of it being American manufactured when there aren't manufacturers in the USA that make some of the components that phone is using.

The Trump Mobile site boasts that its plan offers the âoesame coverage as the 3 nationwide phone service carriersâ and that it supports a U.S.-based customer service call center.

A representative who answered the Trump Mobile customer service line Monday morning declined to tell CNBC where the call center was based, citing security reasons.

Security reasons?
