Trump Mobile T1 phone reappears, still no release date
The Trump Mobile T1 smartphone is the gift that keeps on giving, at least in terms of consistently generating headlines without actually releasing a product.
As spotted by The Verge (which has been consistently on top of this), Trump Mobile overhauled its website this week, refreshing it with new photos that look completely different from the device teased last year. The website now reflects the phone redesign that Trump Mobile executives showed to publisher back in February, which still includes a signature Trump gold finish, like the company always promised it would.

A recent FCC listing indicates the device does actually exist in some form, but we have no idea when customers will actually have one in their hands.
There it is, allegedly. Credit: Trump MobileThe new website, where the phones are available for preorder, also includes some updated specs. The device is purported to have a 6.78-inch AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate, a triple lens rear camera array that includes both 50MP wide and telephoto lenses, and a vague promise of a non-specific Qualcomm Snapdragon 7 chip. Some of these specs are very different from previous iterations of the phone; at one point, it was listed with a 6.25-inch display, but that has ballooned for no apparent reason in the past year.
As for the Trump Mobile T1's price, there's a time-limited promotional window where it costs $499 with a $100 pre-order deposit, but we don't know how much it will cost after that window closes. This device was also originally marketed as being "made in America," but that seems to no longer be the case.
You can do whatever you want with your money, but it might be prudent to wait a bit before plopping down $100 on this thing.
Closets are killing your NAS performance, even the fanless ones
Your NAS is, a lot of the time, the kind of device that you normally keep out of sight as you only hook up to it over a network. Whatever you do, though, don't think the perfect "out of sight" place is a closet. Let me explain.
Obsession commercial debuts a helpline for anyone who needs a wish granted
Since its debut at the Toronto International Film Festival, Obsession has been gathering buzz from critics and horror fans who fell hard for the movie's gnarly vision of bad romance. Now, ahead of this freaky thriller's theatrical release, you can get your hands on the menacing MacGuffin at its center: the One Wish Willow.
Written and directed by YouTuber Curry Barker, Obsession centers on Bear (Michael Johnson), a shy and shiftless young man who's crushing hard on the dynamic and beautiful Nikki (Inde Navarrette). But she only seems interested in him as a friend. That is until Bear uses a One Wish Willow, wishing for her to love him "more than anyone in the entire world." Like the saying goes, be careful what you wish for.

But hey, listen closely to that disclaimer section. And if you need any help, the One Wish Willow website offers a FAQ and a helpline: 1-323-747-7118
However, having called the number, I'm not sure how helpful you'll really find it.
Obsession opens only in theater May 15.

If a new TV is on your wist list and you want an upgrade that makes a noticeable difference, an OLED model is your best bet. And when it comes to OLED TVs, LG is our favorite brand. The entry-level LG B5 model is a good place to start — especially since it's on sale for nearly half off.
As of April 15, you can get the LG 55-inch B5 OLED 4K TV for only $799.99 instead of $1,499.99 at either Amazon or Best Buy. Not only is that 46% in savings, but also its best price ever, which is reached just once before.
Whether you're upgrading to watch sports, new theatrical releases, or just the latest season of Euphoria or Malcolm in the Middle, you'll be impressed by the difference an OLED TV makes. OLEDs have the most advanced lighting system and are noticeably more vibrant and detailed than QLEDs, particularly while watching dim scenes or in dark rooms. The B5 model also features Dolby Vision, HDR10 Pro, Dolby Atmos, Filmmaker Mode, 120Hz gaming support, and NVIDIA G-Sync and AMD FreeSync Premium compatibility. There's also plenty of AI features if you're into that, like Concierge for content recommendations and the Personalized Picture and Sound Wizard to customize your viewing experience.
The B5 is LG's cheapest OLED from 2025, offering the best picture quality for the best price. And now that it's nearly half off its list price, it practically falls into budget TV territory.

Portable power stations are everywhere these days. Your friends are using them for camping, the neighbors have one to run a backyard projector for movie nights, and your parents have one to keep the refrigerator running during a power outage. But there are a few models that cater specifically to content creators, and one of them is on a major discount today.
As of April 15, the DJI Power 2000 portable power station is on sale at Amazon for $749, marked down from the usual price of $1,299. That's a 42% discount that takes a major $550 off the price.
DJI knows how to keep content creators happy. From the viral Mic Mini to the user-friendly Osmo Pocket 3, the brand is a go-to for creators. These days, DJI has several portable power stations to keep creators charged up while working. The largest of them is the DJI Power 2000, which offers 2,048Wh of capacity from a long-lasting LFP battery.

But unlike other power stations, the DJI Power 2000 includes two SDC ports which have the ability to quick-charge DJI drone batteries. Two of the USB-C ports are capable of 140W output which will be ideal for recharging laptops.
Another benefit for creators is the quiet operation of the Power 2000. That'll be ideal if recording content in the same room as the Power 2000. There's also the 10 millisecond UPS switch time that'll keep devices running seamlessly during a power cut. Plus, the DJI power station can recharge to 80% in just 50 minutes with standard wall charging.
While it's sitting at a 42% discount, upgrade your content creation setup with the DJI Power 2000. It's great for content creators, camping, using during power outages, and for backyard movie nights this summer.

I'm still using 3-button navigation on Android—Here’s why
For years, Android smartphones have offered users two main navigation methods: gestures or the old 3-button system. If your phone doesn't default to the newer gesture controls, it's likely an option when you set up a new phone. I'm still using 3-button navigation, and according to all my co-workers, I'm a monster that's stuck in the past.

Windows isn't the best operating system anymore

Spotify now sells physical books
Spotify is now a physical book store, y'all.
On Wednesday, the (primarily) music streaming company announced the launch of printed book sales in the U.S. and UK. In these two markets, Spotify users can now order physical books, though only on the Android version of the app, with iOS support starting next week.
Spotify, which announced the move in February, partnered with Bookshop.org for physical book sales. Bookshop.org is an online book marketplace that focuses on local, independent bookstores, selling both physical books and e-books.
SEE ALSO: How to use Spotify's Page Match feature while readingSpotify launched audiobooks in Sept. 2022 in the U.S., and has since steadily expanded its catalog and availability in other markets, including the UK, Canada, Australia, and several European countries. The company currently offers audiobooks in 22 markets, and has a catalog of 700,000 titles.
As for why is Spotify, initially a purely digital platform, moving into physical books, hear it from Owen Smith, Spotify’s Global Head of Audiobooks. "We believe the future of reading or listening needs to be flexible and fit more seamlessly into people’s lives, he said in February when the feature was originally announced. "We’re extending Spotify’s discovery and engagement strengths across both audio and physical formats, so authors can build deeper connections with their audiences and books can follow readers wherever they go."
On Wednesday, Spotify also launched several other features. One is the expansion of Page Match, a feature that allows listeners to seamlessly move between ebooks, physical books, and audiobooks, to 30 additional languages. The company also expanded Audiobook Recaps on Android, launched Audiobook Charts in Germany, and introduced a dedicated Audiobook Chart for kids in the U.S. and the UK.
