Weekly output: Feds okay T-Mobile-UScellular deal, Rivian adds Google Maps, GENIUS Act becomes law, Mark Vena podcast

July so far is feeling like a traditional August in terms of how under-scheduled it’s been: So far, this month has featured all of three work events to drag me away from my home office. I also left home Thursday to catch that evening’s Fort Reno concert.

7/14/2025: T-Mobile Secures Government Blessing of UScellular Purchase After Ritual Sacrifice of DEI Policies, PCMag

This was yet another case of a post starting with an idea for its headline materializing in my brain. Writing it took a bit longer because I needed to explain the gap between the Department of Justice’s ambivalent thumbs-up and the Federal Communications Commission’s more enthusiastic approval of this deal.

7/15/2025: Rivian Switches to Google Maps for Its EVs’ Navigation, PCMag

Rivian switching from a Mapbox-based navigation app to one built on Google Maps is a bigger deal than might be immediately apparent: That EV manufacturer does not support Apple’s CarPlay or Google’s Android Auto, so the car’s built-in software represents the only way to get driving directions on the biggest screen in the dashboard.

7/18/2025: Trump Signs the GENIUS Act, Creating a Regulatory Framework for Stablecoins, PCMag

I took a little time to look up some useful posts explaining what a stablecoin is and why people and businesses might find a cryptocurrency tied to the value of a real-world asset more useful than a more volatile digital currency. And to point out how President Trump stands to benefit from government regulation of stablecoins.

7/18/2025: Ep 113 SmartTechCheck Podcast — Nvidia and China, chaos at Xbox and Meta “AI superintelligence”, Mark Vena

I suggested we talk about Mark Zuckerberg’s AI ambitions, which remind me of the Facebook founder’s earlier fervor for the metaverse. A normal company might hold its CEO accountable for being so wrong about one tech trend before green-lighting hundreds of millions of dollars in hiring incentives to chase another tech trend–but Zuck’s control of a majority of shareholder votes ensures that Meta cannot be a normal company.

The end of May coinciding with the end of a four-day workweek was a pleasant bonus of Memorial Day’s spot on the calendar this year. Another bonus: I had my last client-paid copy for the month filed by 2:09 p.m. Friday.

Patreon readers got one other post, a rant about the woeful UX of a Hilton offer for double points on upcoming hotel stays. That didn’t get published until almost 9 p.m. on Friday–which is still a lot better than the filing frenzy I’ve exhibited in the final minutes of the final days of other months.

5/28/2024: T-Mobile to Buy Regional Carrier UScellular, PCMag

I didn’t notice the name on the credit of the photo of a T-Mobile flag on a golf course that I’d selected from Getty Images to illustrate this post until I copied that metadata to paste into PCMag’s CMS. That’s when I realized that my Georgetown Voice friend Darren Carroll, a seriously talented photographer, had taken that shot during an idle moment at a golf tournament sponsored by the carrier.

5/28/2024: A Lot of Websites Ask You About Cookies. How Should You Answer?, AARP

My editor at AARP asked if I could write an explainer about those dialogs you see on so many pages that suggest, ask, implore or assume that you’re okay with the site–and, in most cases, advertising networks–writing information about your visit to small text files saved on your device. After talking to numerous experts, I continue to think that your best response to those dialogs, should you not want to be tracked by advertisers, is to use a browser like Apple’s Safari, Microsoft’s Edge and Mozilla’s Firefox that will block ad-network trackers by default.

5/29/2024: Verizon Enlists AST SpaceMobile to Kill Off Its US Dead Zones, PCMag

Verizon’s apparent disinterest in using low-Earth-orbit satellites to provide at least emergency-level coverage in dead zones was looking increasingly weird. Then the carrier signed up the same satellite operator as AT&T to provide that backup connectivity, although it seems to be more conservative in its sales pitch than AT&T.

5/30/2024: Android Update Will Let You Fix Dumb Texting Typos (to Other Android Users), PCMag

I’ve yet to get the update to Google’s Messages app that enables this editing of sent RCS messages–assuming the recipients also have the same update installed–so I cannot yet report on how satisfying it might feel to fix a text typo.

5/30/2024: IRS Direct File App to Return for 2025, Welcome Taxpayers in More States, PCMag

This was one bit of news that I didn’t expect to see coming this week, but with the information-security conference I was attending not yielding any obvious breaking news, I jumped on the chance to write this up instead. And to point out to readers that while the IRS may call this rollout of its free tax-prep app “permanent,” you have to expect that voters returning convicted felon Donald Trump to the White House would soon be followed by Trump scrapping this program.

5/31/2024: FCC: It’s Game Over for Affordable Broadband Connectivity Program, PCMag

The official end of the ACP and the $30 monthly discounts on broadband it provided for more than 20 million American households led to my editors asking me to cover this program one more time.
