Weekly output: Consumer Cellular’s SpeakEasy brand, Uber’s take rate, Google Play Store fees, Pixel 9 Pro screen replacement, Qualcomm’s data-center ambitions, Meta scrapping “Off-Meta Activity” privacy setting, Feds poleaxe Polestar
It’s been a while–years, I think–since I had four stories published on one day by one client. But I only wrote two of Friday’s total on Friday, so don’t draw too many conclusions about my potential productivity.
Patreon readers got an extra post this week in which I unpacked an unfortunately botched bit of business development.
6/22/2026: Consumer Cellular Adds SpeakEasy Mobile Sub-Brand For the 75-and-Up Set, PCMag
The interesting part of this announcement was the two simplified phones that Consumer Cellular’s new brand is bringing to the market.
6/23/2026: Uber driver pay is falling as the company’s take rate rises, new research finds, Fast Company
I didn’t have this report about Uber driver pay on my to-do list as I made my way to Web Summit Rio three weeks ago. But once I got there, a notice about a press conference featuring study author Len Sherman of Columbia University’s business school got my attention, and I’m glad that it did.
6/25/2026: Google Details Reduced Play Store Fees That Trim Its Take to 10% in Many Cases, PCMag
Almost six years after Epic Games’ lawsuit challenged Google’s Android app-store rules, the tech giant finally broke down the changes forced by that litigation. I needed much less time to get this post written and filed Thursday morning; it feels good when that happens.
6/26/2026: I Needed to Replace My Pixel 9 Pro’s Screen. It Was Easy, With One Big Caveat, PCMag
I waited a couple of weeks after this successful screen repair to make sure that my phone wouldn’t fall apart in my pocket–and then worried after publication that I would then choose that moment to drop it onto a sidewalk.
6/26/2026: Qualcomm Darts Into the Data Center Business With Dragonfly, PCMag
I had assumed that somebody on staff would cover Qualcomm’s investor day Wednesday in New York but watched it remotely anyway, and then one of my editors asked if I could do a writeup of that event. Of course I said yes.
6/26/2026: Meta to Scrap ‘Off-Facebook Activity’ Feature That Curbed Web Tracking, PCMag
I could have written this post weeks ago, but getting an e-mail from Meta Thursday morning to the account I use for Facebook that reminded me of this impending privacy downgrade was the nudge I needed. Electronic Frontier Foundation staff technologist Lena Cohen’s comments were then the excuse I needed to remind readers of how this privacy problem is made worse by continued Congressional inaction on privacy.
6/26/2026: Feds Poleaxe Polestar, Banning Future US Sales of Its EVs, PCMag
I wasn’t originally going to jump on this, but once that headline popped into my head I had to write the post. Then I made sure to include three essential bits of context: how the connected-car rule that Polestar ran afoul of dates to the closing days of the Biden administration, how few cars Polestar has sold, and what a mess connected-car privacy remains even if you look only at American manufacturers–thanks in large part to continued Congressional inaction on privacy.

Google presenta oficialmente el Pixel 10a – Potencia de gama alta a un precio de 499 $
Google ha revelado hoy de forma oficial el nuevo Pixel 10a, el smartphone que redefine lo que un teléfono de gama media puede hacer en 2026. Equipado con el mismo procesador Tensor G4 que la serie Pixel 9 y una batería diseñada para durar más de 24 horas, el Pixel 10a llega para democratizar la Inteligencia Artificial de Google (Gemini) y ofrecer el mejor soporte de software de su categoría (Fuente Google).
El Pixel 10a no es solo una actualización menor; es un cambio en la estrategia de Google para dominar la gama media. Con un diseño renovado que apuesta por la comodidad y la durabilidad, el dispositivo incorpora por primera vez la tecnología de pantalla Actua Display de 6,3 pulgadas, capaz de alcanzar un brillo pico de 2.700 nits, lo que garantiza una visibilidad perfecta incluso bajo la luz directa del sol.
Lo mejor de la IA de Google en tu bolsillo
Al integrar el chip Tensor G4, el Pixel 10a desbloquea funciones de inteligencia artificial que antes eran exclusivas de los modelos Pro:
- Gemini Integrado: Acceso directo al asistente de IA de Google para redactar correos, planificar viajes o analizar fotos.
- Fotografía computacional: El sistema de cámara trasera dual (48 MP principal + 13 MP ultra gran angular) incluye herramientas como el Editor Mágico, Mejor Versión y el Borrador Mágico de Audio, permitiendo ediciones profesionales en segundos.
- Seguridad Avanzada: El chip Titan M2 y el nuevo centro de seguridad de Android 16 protegen tus datos personales contra ataques cibernéticos y malware.
Sostenibilidad y Longevidad
Fiel a su compromiso con el medio ambiente, Google ha fabricado el Pixel 10a con un 20% de materiales reciclados en peso. Además, es un teléfono diseñado para durar: Google garantiza 7 años de actualizaciones de sistema operativo, seguridad y las famosas «Feature Drops», lo que significa que el teléfono recibirá novedades hasta mayo de 2033.
Precio, Colores y Disponibilidad
El Pixel 10a ya está disponible para reserva a partir de hoy, 18 de febrero, en cuatro colores inspirados en la naturaleza: Obsidiana, Porcelana, Bahía (azul) y el nuevo Aloe (verde suave).
- Precio: Desde 499 $ (o 549 € en España).
- Lanzamiento: Las unidades comenzarán a enviarse y estarán disponibles en tiendas físicas a partir del 5 de marzo de 2026.
Como oferta especial de lanzamiento en la Google Store, los usuarios que reserven el dispositivo recibirán un crédito de 100 $ para su próxima compra o un descuento significativo al entregar su teléfono actual.

I'm clumsy... the previous #CaseMate #screenprotector on my #Pixel9 had several cracks across it and chipped corners/sides after < 1 year. So I got a #Zagg one (which costs twice as much) and had it professionally installed at the #GoogleStore in #Boston. Let's see how long this one lasts...

"Google Pixel 8a just got a...discount during Amazon Prime Day... $50 discount on the Pixel 8a."
draft -
I love and own pixel 8. It's a great device, a solid upgrade over pixel 6a. Love the tensor g3, the 256gb storage, the multiple user profiles part of stock android for completely separate user spaces.
One thing that the pixel brand could use is more physical brick and mortar retail stores. Like, google should commit to opening more physical brick and mortar stores. If there's an issue with a pixel phone, people should have a sort of "spectacle" "apple-esque" like shop to bring it to to diagnose and fix the issues.
Google had 3 stores. 2 are in new york city and one is in Boston.
What would it take for them to open 50 stores - at least one in each state?
What would it take for them to open 20 stores? - at least one in each of the 20 biggest us cities?

"Google Wallet adds 25 new US banks to its support list...This brings the total to more than 140 new banks added in 2024 alone"
https://www.androidpolice.com/google-wallet-25-new-us-banks/
draft - Great. What we also need now is a few more physical brick and mortar Google Store retail locations. Where should they be? Washington DC / DC/MD/VA? South Florida? Texas? California?

Ordered a Pixel Fold (Google Fi version) got a Pixel Fold (Verizon version). Google Fi support thinks I'm looking at pictures of phones online and sending it to the. When I'm asking if there is any difference in the images initially flashed to Verizon a d Google Fi versions that I need to worry about. I even said if they can point me to the Fi or unlocked image, I would be more than willing to flash it myself.
Google's tech support on all sides feels abysmal.

CW: $50 Google Play voucher if buying a Pixel 7a phone
If anyone is planning on buying a #Pixel7a, here's a coupon code (first come, first served) that gets you a $50 #GoogleStore voucher within 4wks after it ships (I also get $50).
4F1TBRKBAG3WF3INJYP6D1W
(You have to login for it to work. https://store.google.com/product/pixel_7a)
Assume it's like the previous similar promotion: Have to use on a single order (and it invalidates sale pricing). Nice if you want a free $50 item.

Whelp. I guess Google doesn't want to sell me a Pixel Fold. Didn't see a sales term that I violated, so I'm assuming that this is ass-covering for their inability to manufacture and distribute the device at scale.
