Hey! @LaurenGoode review videos are back! And I’m almost as happy as her cat, Nougat. — PolitiTweet.org

Another really smart thread by @stevesi about how seemingly small iOS updates aren’t really incremental. — PolitiTweet.org

NO: The actor Chris Evans did not wear a shirt that says “Keep America Trumpless.” YES: This is a doctored photo with text on Evans’ shirt that was changed. The design was actually the emblem from the Oregon state flag. Fact-check: https://t.co/LfueeQr52H https://t.co/Piii48ys0j — PolitiTweet.org

I know they’re rivals, But why does the ⁦@nytimes⁩ describe the ⁦@washingtonpost⁩ by mentioning its owner? Even if they had to change the layout of the story? The Post doesn’t call the Times “Sulzberger’s Times” and this story barely mentions Bezos. https://t.co/A56qMmPRaP — PolitiTweet.org

@karaswisher Huge congrats to you and @katzish! — PolitiTweet.org

Another really helpful @JoannaStern video. If you have an iPhone, watch it to get smarter about the new version of iOS. — PolitiTweet.org

@allen099 @reckless Alex is a great addition! — PolitiTweet.org

@MikeSievert @ATT @TMobile @art_lucero Mike, thanks for the greeting and the referral. This is only on one iPad. But if there are problems, I’ll definitely be in touch. — PolitiTweet.org

Walt Mossberg @waltmossberg

@TMobileHelp I already switched to @TMobile . — PolitiTweet.org

@sandy_matuschak @ATT @TMobile Not on my phone. — PolitiTweet.org

Finally, let me stress that there was no outreach before this sudden email and no warning. It just came out of the blue as a unilateral decision. Terrible customer service, after I’ve been with them for years, not only on the iPad but in the early years of the iPhone. — PolitiTweet.org

Walt Mossberg @waltmossberg

And you’d think they’d make allowances for the pandemic, which has kept people home and using Wi-Fi vs cellular much more. — PolitiTweet.org

Walt Mossberg @waltmossberg

You’d think they’d be glad to get paid for much reduced use of the service. But giant carriers do what they want. A small example of why we need better antitrust. — PolitiTweet.org

Walt Mossberg @waltmossberg

Goodbye, ⁦@ATT⁩, hello ⁦@TMobile⁩! I’ve had an AT&T account for years on my cellular-equipped iPad Mini. I’ve paid faithfully every month. But the pandemic has cut way back on my traveling and other iPad cellular usage. So what does AT&T do? They cancel my account! https://t.co/HHUPi2S858 — PolitiTweet.org

@patricknward As you know, the Declaration of Independence was also adopted in that same room. — PolitiTweet.org

Walt Mossberg @waltmossberg

@patricknward Wonderful! I consider that room hallowed ground. I have been there a few times. — PolitiTweet.org

Walt Mossberg @waltmossberg

The U.S. Constitution was adopted on this date 234 years ago, in 1787. It was ratified a year later. Including the amendments, it is a remarkable document. But it is under stress and that stress will soar as the 2022 elections near. Let’s work to defend it. One way is to VOTE. https://t.co/UPgMkQliFy — PolitiTweet.org

R.I.P. to Sir Clive Sinclair, the British personal computer pioneer who has died at 81. He changed my life because my first computer was a slightly modified $99 Sinclair sold in the U.S. by Timex. It led to my long career covering tech. https://t.co/KaNGv3D2gg — PolitiTweet.org

@newtechpress @JohnLMacFarlane @Sammy_Roth The word renewable in no way suggests non-polluting. Obviously, I favor that. But the word itself simply means that whatever it describes renews itself. — PolitiTweet.org

Walt Mossberg @waltmossberg

@JohnLMacFarlane @Sammy_Roth Why don’t they count hydro as a renewable? I know there has been a long-running drought, but are they saying it will never rain enough again to refill the water sources, even in the neighboring states from which the hydro-generated power might be imported? — PolitiTweet.org

@markmurray98119 @Mariners @RedSox @reckel @AnnmarieLevins With @RedSox team, which was supposed to be in a rebuilding year, you never know from game to game what’s going to happen. They won the World Series just three years ago, and now have dismantled that squad. — PolitiTweet.org

@mudzsri @LaurenGoode @reckless @backlon @JoannaStern @MKBHD @reckless aspires to only write about gin, pickup trucks, humongous speakers, and headphone jacks. But I believe his contract requires him to write as well about tech products and issues. — PolitiTweet.org

This excellent short video was posted 5 years ago, but it’s worth a watch, because the situation it highlights still exists. — PolitiTweet.org

Walt Mossberg @waltmossberg

@backlon I’m pretty sure I still have one of these. As you know, I was a Treo man until the iPhone came out. — PolitiTweet.org

Walt Mossberg @waltmossberg

@heridfan @LaurenGoode @reckless @backlon @JoannaStern @MKBHD Usually Apple lends review units a few days or a week before it lifts an embargo on reviews. Most quality reviewers want to thoroughly test the products anyway before publishing a review. I don’t know the dates this time. — PolitiTweet.org

Walt Mossberg @waltmossberg

@AirWaterSnow @LaurenGoode @reckless @backlon @JoannaStern @MKBHD I don’t know of a single major reviewer who is unaware of those things or who hasn’t said them. — PolitiTweet.org
