Oh, the irony! 🚀 A thrilling journey into the future of tech—if you can just manage to turn on #JavaScript and #cookies first. 🍪🔧 Who knew #eSIMs required such ancient rites? 🤦♂️

I would like to sincerely thank all the beta testers for #eSIMs, an obviously inferior way to manage one's phone number, over the physical security and modularity of a SIM card.

See you in 20 years. I am never giving up my SIM card phones. -

"Como gente descapacitada alrededor del mundo y como asiaticos queeres de la diaspora, hemos estado en un luto profundo y buscando todas las formas posibles para estar en solidaridad con el pueblo palestino durante los ultimos 80 dias de #genocidio sufrido por la gente de #Palestina.
Queremos hacer llegar dinero y recurso de manera directa a los palestinos en Gaza, sin embargo, como muchos ya saben, el bloqueo ha hecho casi imposible entregar contado y recursos a #Gaza. Una manera que si se puede es conseguir #eSims para personas allá. "

Weekly output: IOWN, eSIMs, Android sneak peek, Ranking Digital Rights, Web3, data ownership in Brazil, Elon Musk’s DOGE detour, blanding, passkey adoption, Google’s AI Mode, Read AI bundles two more AI platforms
Even subtracting the posts written in previous weeks (the first and second links below) and the time I spent moderating panels at Web Summit Rio (the fifth, sixth and eighth links below), this was a busy week. And yet I wish I’d had time to write about one more thing: the brutal ruling that Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers handed down Wednesday against Apple in the long-running Epic v. Apple case. In that opinion, which essentially destroys a large part of Apple’s rent-seeking App Store strategy, the judge condemned multiple levels of Apple duplicity that included one vice president lying under oath and concluded that Apple thinking “this Court would tolerate such insubordination was a gross miscalculation.”
Patreon readers got an extra post from me this week: a recap of how Web Summit Rio highlighted the useful and cringe-inducing-to-outright-offensive sides of cryptocurrency advocacy.
4/28/2025: NTT’s IOWN pitch: long on possibilities, sometimes short on metrics, Light Reading
I wanted to get an outside perspective on the sales pitch I got from NTT at its Upgrade 2025 conference in San Francisco in mid-April (for which the Japanese telco covered my travel expenses), and the one I got from my tech-analyst pal Mark Vena pointed out some non-trivial gaps in NTT’s presentation.
4/28/2025: Why You Should Use eSIMs When Traveling Internationally, AARP
Most of the research for this happened during MWC Barcelona in early March, but various hangups in AARP’s story-assignment machinery held up the piece for a while.
4/28/2025: Why Wait? Google Teases Android 16 Sneak Peek Ahead of I/O, PCMag
This was one of the shortest posts I’ve ever filed for PCMag, owing to the lack of details in this Google announcement.
4/28/2025: More Breakdowns Than Breakthroughs in Latest Big Tech Digital Rights Scorecard, PCMag
The Ranking Digital Rights project posted its first assessment in about two and a half years of the commitments tech companies make to uphold human rights. Spoiler alert: This survey found no heroes.
4/28/2025: Does Web3 represent an opportunity or a risk?, Web Summit Rio
The last panel this conference asked me to moderate came first on the schedule–and then I went from having two fintech investors to quiz to having one, Kaszek partner Santiago Fossatti. My worries that I’d have to improvise at length to fill this timeslot evaporated once I saw how he’d answer my questions at length.
4/29/2025: Owning your own data, Web Summit Rio
I’ve been watching and moderating Web Summit panels about data ownership and privacy for years, but this one–featuring Brittany Kaiser, co-founder of the Own Your Data Foundation; Rodrigo Assumpção, CEO of Brazil’s social-security firm Dataprev; and Gustavo Franco, former governor of Brazil’s central bank–outlined some real-world steps happening in Brazil to make that vision a working reality that might yield some modest extra income for citizens who opt in.
4/30/2025: 100 Days of DOGE: Is Elon Musk’s Protective Layer of Sycophants Thinning?, PCMag
I wrote up a very good panel featuring New York Times tech reporters Kate Conger and Ryan Mac, in which the authors of the book Character Limit: How Elon Musk Destroyed Twitter unpacked how Musk has given the federal government the same treatment he inflicted on Twitter.
4/30/2025: AI and the rise of blanding, Web Summit Rio
Title notwithstanding, this panel with Camila Moletta, CEO of More Grls, and Lisa Smith, global executive creative director of Jones Knowles Ritchie, was less about AI than about graphic design in advertising.
5/1/2025: 75% of People Are ‘Aware’ of Passkeys, But Are They Actually Using Them?, PCMag
I wrote up an embargoed copy of a survey about passkey adoption that had some stats that confused me, so I e-mailed the publicist to get more context and then quoted his explanation in the post. After publication, the PR guy asked if we could take his name out of the story because he works for an outside PR firm; I replied that my editor would probably be fine with that (which was true), but that he needed to make that request upfront instead of incorrectly assuming some default setting of anonymity for PR types.
5/1/2025: Google Drops AI Mode Waitlist, Adds Shopping Tools: Here’s How to Try, PCMag
I filed my last copy for April from my hotel room in Rio a little before midnight on April 30. Being able to put one last bit of work on a monthly invoice can be a powerful motivation.
5/2/2025: Why Have One AI Service When You Can Have 3? Read Bundles GPT-4.1, Claude, PCMag
I didn’t have this on my story-possibilities list for Web Summit, but I got into a conversation with the CEO and publicist of the AI service Read on a shuttle from the convention center back to the hotel, which led to the publicist asking if I’d like cover Read’s imminent announcement of it bundling two other AI services, which led to my quizzing Read CEO David Shim in the speaker lounge Wednesday.

Hey, I found a link for a free Travel eSIM (1GB worldwide) with coupon ET-REDDIT1GB on reddit.
I don't know about how #eSIMs work, but could these be sent to ppl overseas who need help? Like #Palestine , #Sudan , etc? Serious question.

With #Gaza deliberately being cut off, and sealed off, by #Israel, just about any form of #internet access, no matter how shaky and temporary, has become vital for
With most of the infrastructure in Gaza destroyed, mobile phone accounts in the shape of #eSIMs [*] are one of the last remaining means to communicate. They log into neighboring Egypt and Israeli mobile networks, wherever possible (mostly in the South of Gaza).
#ConnectingHumanity is providing eSIMs to the groups mentioned above. They're reliable and legit [**]. Consider donating to them.
https://connecting-humanity.org/
[*] An eSIM is a virtual SIM that can be sent as a QR code, rather than a physical SIM that is next to impossible to get into Gaza, at the moment.
[**] More context:

Also diese #esims sind auch ein Quatsch. Jedes mal zahlen wenn man das Gerät wechselt.

Today marks day 306 since we1 began distributing eSIMs, with a total of 380,000 eSIMs sent (an average of 1,241 every single day for the past 10 months).
These numbers remind us that the genocide has been ongoing for 328 days, nearly a year, with more than 40,602 martyrs — an average of 123 people killed every single day. Each of these 123 individuals had family, friends, and a life.
We don't know when the genocide will stop, but for now, we urgently need eSIMs to continue reaching those in need as we are running out of:
- Nomad Regional Middle East (promocode: NOMADCNG)
- Simly Palestine (promocode: MADI9NP2)
Please consider sending one now to [email protected] to help keep Gaza connected.

Well, it’s been two weeks now, and the old eSIM I had topped up for #Gaza is still not being used. I really hope something happened to the phone, and not the person. 😞
I did buy another eSIM and sent it in to #eSIMsForGaza, and I’m waiting for that one to be activated now.
Last I saw on Instagram, they are critically low on #eSIMs, so please if you can afford it, go to https://gazaesims.com and follow the directions for buying a Nomad eSIM!
