Trump signs off on new law that toughens the penalties for making robocalls

With a few strokes from his pen, on Monday President Donald Trump signed a piece of legislation called the TRACED Act. The law hikes the fine imposed on the person or organization behind a spam or robocall to as much as $10,000 for each call and does not require the government to issue a warning first. And to prevent consumers from being tricked by spammers manipulating the phone number seen on caller ID (a practice known as spoofing), the bill requires the carriers to authenticate the phone numbers of incoming calls.

But revenue growth in the first half of this year was 23% indicating that the U.S. supply chain ban that was instituted in May is having a negative effect.

This is one reason why the unlocked version of an Android phone tops the carrier-locked model

Back in September, the unlocked version of the was updated to Android 10. But three months later, those who purchased the phone from T-Mobile still had not received it, leaving their handset running Android 9 Pie. That meant that they were forced to use the three-button navigation system (back, home, multitask) familiar to Android users or the half-assed gesture system that turned out to be a stop-gap before Android 10's improvements.

You'll notice that we used the past tense in the above paragraph because this past weekend, the T-Mobile version of the OnePlus 7 Pro ...

Forget foldable phones, LG wants foldable display cases

In 2019, LG had a spinoff answer to the new "foldable smartphones" that popped up.
