BTW, you can get a reasonable idea of network coverage and contribute your own data by installing the #OpenSignal app. Readings are sparser in Scotland than in England, so you'll be doing a disproportionate amount of good. 🙂
#Opensignal
We've recently changed from #Giffgaff to #Smarty and got much better signal coverage — but that's no indication that Smarty would be better for you. You can get an estimate of coverage from each network, and contribute your own experience, by installing the #Opensignal app.

After two weeks at home–which included a highly entertaining baseball game Wednesday in which a hilarious lack of basepath situational awareness led the Nationals to run into a phone number of a double play and yet beat the Yankees anyway–I’m headed across the Atlantic tonight to cover the IFA tech trade show in Berlin. As before, the organizers are covering most of my travel costs and those of an invited group of U.S. journalists and analysts.
Beyond the work below, I also wrote a post Friday for Patreon subscribers detailing the settings I changed on my mother-in-law’s new LG TV to make it easier for her start watching TV and have the set itself be less of a marketing mechanism.
8/26/2024: 3 Lessons From a Hacker Conference That Can Keep You Safe Online, AARP
I thought of this idea too late after covering Black Hat last year to have any hope of pitching it, much less writing it in between a schedule stuffed with both personal and work travel. This year, I remembered to pitch it in advance, got a prompt thumbs-up from my editor, and filed it the week after the conference.
8/29/2024: Cable Providers Top Telecom Rivals for Internet Reliability, PCMag
After Opensignal offered an embargoed copy of this study, I had some questions about its findings that the research firm couldn’t answer until Tuesday evening, resulting in my filing it too late for my editor to get to it until after the embargo had passed. Which nobody at PCMag blinked about, to their credit.
8/29/2024: Brazil’s Supreme Court to Elon Musk: Name a Legal Rep or X Is Banned, PCMag
I wrote a new top for this post Friday after Brazil’s Supreme Federal Court made good on its threat–and not only banned X but directed Apple and Google to block its app from their app stores and imposed a fine of about $8,900 a day for people who used “technological subterfuges” (as in, VPNs) to evade this restriction. Judge Alexandre de Moraes since seems to have relented slightly on those last two measures, but even compared to the impending commercial ban on TikTok they seem extreme in a democracy–not that Elon Musk deserves sympathy for his descent into conspiracy lies about the 2022 election that President Lula da Silva won.

I had a long-ish holiday weekend–I did work on Friday but not too hard. Then I spent most of Saturday indoors to avoid the day’s near-triple-digit temperatures, while I got out Sunday for a bike ride and then the Nats game. (Exciting, I know.)
7/1/2024: T-Mobile Still Tops Rivals for 5G Availability, Download and Upload Speeds, PCMag
One of Opensignal’s PR reps had provided me with an advance copy of their report on Thursday of the previous week, but because I was busy at VidCon the next two days I didn’t write this post until Sunday morning.
7/1/2024: Supreme Court Suggests Social-Media Laws Flunk First Amendment Scrutiny, PCMag
I had expected to have to cover this case challenging the absurd forced-carriage laws of Florida and Texas last week as well, but instead the Court waited until Monday morning to post it–right before its grotesque U.S. v. Trump opinion inventing a king-like level of immunity for presidents.
7/2/2024: Facebook’s Newest Monetization Experiment: Ads in Your Notifications, PCMag
If you follow me on Bluesky, you might have seen me post about seeing a “sponsored” notification two weeks ago. After I saw a few more of these pop up, I sent in a query to Facebook PR that I was able to follow up on in person at a Meta-hosted VidCon reception. It still cracks me up that Facebook opted me into a marketing test, and that I still seem to be in it–my most recent sponsored notification popped up Wednesday.
7/3/2024: Sorry, Frequent Flyers: ‘New Windows App Experience’ for Netflix Ditches Downloads, PCMag
Other users of Netflix’s Windows had started seeing dialogs touting the “new Windows app experience” without support for downloads back in May, but somehow PCMag had somehow not covered that topic at the time. My takeaway after seeing how many other video services fail to support downloads in their Windows apps: Looks like I’m going to get a lot more use out of Amazon’s Prime Video app.
