  • the T1 closely resembles the T-Mobile REVVL 7 Pro 5G

    No it fucking doesn’t. Will people please stop spreading this.

    The phone is just a shit photoshop job. All three cameras depicted are identical down to the pixel. Here’s one camera overlaid on another with a difference filter:

    The lighting in the “render” doesn’t even make sense.

    The shadows imply that the camera “bump” is actually recessed since the shadows are along the top edge. Also where are the side buttons on the reverse?


  • Not so much overheating as dropout. Batteries lose both energy capacity and power capacity over time. If you draw too much current from an older battery, its voltage will drop significantly and possibly prematurely shut down the phone.

    Lowering peak current (by slowing down the phone), can prevent your phone from shutting off while it still has like 20% capacity left.

    Considering Apple was doing battery replacements for like $60 (before bumping to $100), and this was a setting that could be turned off, I think the only real crime was enabling it by default and not properly informing users.





  • In an attempt to answer your question, there tends to be a lot of misinformation following events like this. Often footage doesn’t even need to be AI or altered, it can just be footage from other events that looks similar that’s posted in good faith by people trying to spread the news. I assure you some of the clips flying around at the moment are from the George Floyd protests, or even a sports hooligan riot, or from events that didn’t even occur in this country.

    At least in theory (and theory is doing a lot of heavy lifting with my attempt at answering your question), a news publication has an obligation to in some way determine the veracity of what they’re publishing.
