Who had Trump Takes Gaza on their 2025 bingo card? Wierd news day.
Certainly #Trump will claim #tariffs work today.
Over the weekend I read shock pieces in both US and Canadian news from the experts warning of the dire impact of tariffs that were about to bring North America to it's knees... overnight skyrocketing fuel costs, hundreds of thousands just in Ontario to become unemployed.
Reports today are that before the Canadian and Mexican tariffs even kicked in (scheduled for tomorrow), both Mexico and Canada have committed significant funds and action to secure the borders?

Anyone else impressed that air traffic controllers have been working from home and may accept the package rather than return to work?
Or maybe we're lacking some application of critical thinking...

Donald Trump has offered buyout packages to almost all federal workers who do not want to return to the office, a major move designed to shrink the US government. The employees would have to decide by 6 Feb whether they wanted to be part of a "deferred resignation program" with an 8 months worth severance package

#PreEmptive #Pardons phenomenon examined by #Democrats & the mainstream media.
They seem to have come to a concensus on the issue, no question about it.

I haven't been following the news to closely, but it sounds like Syria just had their own January 6.
Day 2 with Samsung #watch7 LTE - battery is at 92% after 4 hours. Way better than yesterday.
The difference? Yesterday I was trying to actually use the LTE functionality and today I have my phone with me. Is this effectively using the watch as if it's the cheaper Bluetooth-only device? Is the LTE functionality the thing that just kills the watch?
IF that proves to be the case, I'd recommend the watch for those who want it in addition to their smartphone. But my use case is I want to to ditch my smartphone most of the time. I'll stop carrying my phone after the next hour meeting and see if power plummets like yesterday.
Watch7 battery died before 8 hours in battery saver mode. Samsung wouldn't offer a replacement for the same price I paid last week, only a return.
I'm reading this is a fundamental design flaw that the newest #Samsung flagship #watch7 can't even last 8 hours, rather than mine having an abnormal issue.
If this repeats by this time tomorrow, I'm going to return this and try a refurbished Watch5 Pro which apparently has a double battery.
Brand new Samsung Watch7, in power saving mode is down to 30% batter before 6 hours of use. Not looking good here.
Going to see how close to replacing my smart phone I can get, with just a smart watch. Smatch watch with an eSIM so it gets data, calls, SMS, GPS as needed... only catch so far... MFA apps don't seem to be compatible.
