Hey #AskFedi / #HiveMind,

Anyone got any pointers for setting up #VisualVoicemail on #Android #AOSP or #LineageOS-derived dialers with #MintMobile, or #TMobile or other T-mobile #MVNOs?

I called the number, set up my PIN and greeting, but I just keep getting "Can't activate visual voicemail" in the dialer, even after going to Voicemail in the settings, turning off Visual voicemail, and turning it on again.

When I was on AT&T, it would occasionally be able to fetch the VMs, but often fail. I'm hoping it might work better with Mint/Tmo. XD

I'm on #IodéOS (based on Lineage).

Oh how disgusting, T-Mobile is testing an NVIDIA TX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server Edition GPU attached to one of their cell towers to create something called, "Physical AI". They are also working with Nokia on attempting to execute this nightmare...Apparently, it's supposed to supercharge LLM systems, by increasing responsiveness and make them generally faster at performing tasks.

I really don't see the appeal because it would allow this malignant tumor given birth to by Silicon Valley and Peter Thiel's machinations access to critical infrastructure. Which is honestly terrifying, giving how bad LLMs are at doing basically everything, save for compromising anonymity of people online.

Once I pay off my device, I will be calling it quits with T-Mobile because I want no part of a company messing with shit like this.

The last remaining subscription for unlimited Google Photos storage is dead [U]

Unlimited Google Photos storage was the biggest selling point of what quickly became the most popular photo storage service, but as it became hard to sustain with scale, Google pulled the plug. For a while, though, T-Mobile customers have had access to a special Google One subscription that included unlimited Google Photos storage, but it’s now dead.

Weekly output: T-Mobile’s 5G progress, Trump cybersecurity strategy, T-Mobile’s MLB.tv bonus, IRL experiences in an AI age

AUSTIN–After a year off, I’m back at SXSW for my 12th visit as a journalist but only my third as a speaker, courtesy of a panel I’m moderating about gaming culture Tuesday. I picked up that gig when the original moderator couldn’t make the trip, after which panel organizer Nika Nour, a friend from tech-policy circles, asked if I could step in.

Patreon readers got a much longer bonus post than usual this week–the SXSW feature that GQ China never paid me for in 2023 or even, as far as I could tell, published.

My show-floor appointments at MWC Barcelona concluded with my meeting Skylo CEO Parthsarathi Trivedi to talk about that satellite-to-device firm’s plans to move beyond messaging.

3/9/2026: T-Mobile: Network Slices Are Nice, But Not Necessarily a Consumer Service, PCMag

I sat down with T-Mobile’s network head on the afternoon of my last day at MWC, then needed to confirm some details with T-Mobile PR, then did not think to check one additional detail that then subsequently required a correction. That oversight, in turn, happened because I ignored my thought to self “that looks weird” in favor of congratulating myself on seeing something that nobody else had picked up.

This three-page document posted at news-dump time on the previous Friday was so brief that I knew I’d have to get some outside perspectives on it, and two of the experts whom I’ve come to rely on obliged my belated requests for comment.

I briefly hoped that this freebie would also come with a discount for the Nats’ long-overdue, MASN-liberated direct-to-consumer streaming option, but T-Mobile PR disabused me of that notion quickly.

I took part in this panel hosted by this Vancouver, B.C.-based group at Canada’s SXSW setup with author and researcher Kasley Killam, a.Kartel founder and CEO Vy Lem, and Goodword co-founder Chris Fischer. My major contribution to the discussion: observing how healthy online communities spark IRL gatherings like my excuse to fly to L.A. last September, Cranky Dorkfest.
