@mrbenhurt @drakeslayer100 @MattWallace888 Most merchant vessels are flagged under Morocco and Panama for insurance purposes. Most of the time it has nothing to do with politics.

@drakeslayer100 @MattWallace888 Maritime law says that the larger ship has the right of way. The Besiktas-M is 680ft, whereas the Harry S. Truman is over 1000ft, and much heavier as well. Fascinating to me is that the Besiktas-M sails under a Panamanian flag… Wonder if this is related to the canal debate.

🚨JUST IN: Pentagon reports Nimitz-class aircraft carrier USS Harry S. Truman (CVN 75) collided with the bulk carrier Besiktas-M off the coast of Egypt ⚠️ What is going on?

@William_Dillon_ @sentdefender Easy since cartels will be considered terrorist organizations they (anyone supporting their operations) will be aiding and abetting terrorists. Bad news for any illegal drug trade of any kind.

@sentdefender How does he plan to stop the flow of drugs by only focusing on illegal immigration, when the vast majority of drugs that come across the border are possessed by US citizens moving it?

List of notable planned initiatives, frameworks, and programs highlighted by U.S. President Donald J. Trump during his Inauguration Speech. (Thread)   Immigration/Southern Border: President Trump has said that he will declare a national emergency at the southern border and reinstate the “Remain in Mexico” and “Catch and Release” policies. Another planned action, first mentioned by the president on the campaign trail last year, was his plan to invoke the Alien Enemies Act of the wider Alien and Sedition Acts of 1798 to use state and federal law enforcement to target and eliminate foreign gangs across the U.S., halt all illegal entry into the United States, and return criminal aliens back to their home countries. President Trump has also pledged to send troops to stabilize and stop the flow of illegal immigrants and drugs across the border and confirms his commitment to designate the cartels as foreign terrorist organizations. 1/5

@babymemexx Me either

@realDonaldTrump Am I the only one who can’t see this?

@Mirandamig23 @elonmusk The EULA for driving a Tesla is probably hundreds of pages. I am sure most scroll down, tap and go!

Elon, regarding this situation, is your team permitted to access telemetry without a warrant, or was a warrant provided? I comprehend the urgency of the situation, and the sooner we have the details, the better. However, I’m curious to know if your team can access and access vehicle telemetry at any time remotely?

We have now confirmed that the explosion was caused by very large fireworks and/or a bomb carried in the bed of the rented Cybertruck and is unrelated to the vehicle itself. All vehicle telemetry was positive at the time of the explosion.

Took advantage of AT&T wireless‘s new 30 day trial download their app and they give you a month long eSIM with 100 GB of data. So far at least in the San Diego metropolitan area. It’s fucking terrible. 😁 and that’s with a factory unlocked iPhone 16 Pro Max 🤷🏻‍♂️

Hearing test on iOS 18.1 a few days and not far off from my official audiogram I received just a few months ago. This feature has the opportunity to be disruptive in the hearing aid space as clinical models run in the $$$$ and offer little to no integration (unless MFI certified)

@MFrye111 @thethrill57 @SpaceX @Starlink @TMobile @FCC @ATT This has nothing to do with Apple or Google’s global star capability on newer phones this literally works with any 5G phone on the T-Mobile network.

@thethrill57 @SpaceX @Starlink @TMobile @FCC @ATT Why not all of them during storms. Plus I believe you have to have a newer phone. I sent something to my daughter and it didn’t work because she has an older iPhone.

In addition to the thousands (>10k) of Starlink kits we are delivering in response to Hurricane Helene, the @Starlink team and @TMobile activated our Direct to Cell satellites to provide emergency alerts for all phones and carriers of those in affected areas. The @FCC has also rapidly approved emergency special temporary authority for coverage in Florida ahead of Hurricane Milton. We have now enabled basic texting (SMS) for those on T-Mobile phones in hurricane affected areas. Text messages have already been sent and received. You can text loved ones, text 911 and continue to receive emergency alerts. If a phone connects to a Starlink satellite, it will have 1 to 2 bars of signal and show "T-Mobile SpaceX" in the network name. Users may have to manually retry text messages if they don't go through at first, as this is being delivered on a best-effort basis. The service works best outdoors, and occasionally works indoors near a window.

@jael_was_here @matt_vanswol @Apple Globalstar satellites and ground stations

I’ve never been more thankful to be an iPhone user. Due to the lack of cell service, EVERYONE in Asheville NC right now on iOS 18 has been able to get messages out and in with the Satellite messaging feature. This is literally saving lives @Apple.

@TesCalendar1 GM selling Chinese products now who paid for what 🤔

I spoke to a guy this week that absolutely COULD NOT believe that Tesla paid for their Supercharger network with almost all of their own money. Me: No seriously, they knew they couldn’t sell EVs without it so they started building them. Guy: Yeah, because the government paid for it! Me: No, Tesla paid for it. And it’s actually a profit center for them so they have the motivation of selling more EVs and also making money on the charging. Guy: Ok, but the government still paid for it! We went round and round 😐 Some people just can’t be convinced.

@tslecomte @TailosiveTech Right? WTF else does the “neural engine” do? 🤣

@TailosiveTech I mean really... “iPhone 13/14 - Some of the latest AI features” 🤦‍♂️

"iOS 18 is compatible with all the same devices as iOS 17!" iPhone 15 - All the latest AI features iPhone 13/14 - Some of the latest AI features iPhone 11/12 - The New Control Center iPhone XS/Xr - New Wallpaper

@Monokoma88 @xtrasexcy Actually EU, US, and ROW legislation led to a requirement for less packaging, and standardized connectors etc. How many of these are sitting in a landfill or your junk drawer right now?

@xtrasexcy Apple chose greed after Steve Jobs passed away

y’all remember when apple used to take care of us?

@Filip_G_Loco @GoldenBobby @MKBHD Probably 80% of “smartwatch” wearers still pickup their phone before they check their watch each and every time. Therefore they perform less functions than any mid to high end Garmin. Just my HO.

@GoldenBobby @MKBHD Not a real smartwatch. More like a fitness watch.

@Dagnum_PI @elonmusk What percentage of buyers of any traditional truck plan to actually use it as a “truck?” Let’s ask most jacked up Toyota Tacoma drivers 🤣

@elonmusk Gonna be hard to sell people on a truck that can't tow very far

Beats a Porsche 911 while towing a 911

@GeoffreyMBCrowe @WCM3247 @StarTrekOnPPlus @ansonmount @christinachongx @melissaCnavia @jesssbush @jonathansfrakes They could make it happen via a Short Trek. They should honestly film them constantly. Nice little plot/canon boosters!

@WCM3247 @StarTrekOnPPlus @ansonmount @christinachongx @melissaCnavia @jesssbush @jonathansfrakes If you aren't pushing the boundaries further and further...then what's the point? :) This is the perfect crew to do it! #MuppetTrek #WhereNoTrekHasGoneBefore

Anyone from @StarTrekOnPPlus #StrangeNewWorlds listening? Figure that's the best shot for this amazing idea!! Come on @ansonmount @christinachongx @melissaCnavia @jesssbush @jonathansfrakes you're our only hope (wrong franchise, I know...)

How much do you pay for internet only with and without a data cap? And what speeds do you get?

@mintmobile #mintmobile #mvno #tmobile #5GNSA #iphone13promax Gigabit speeds are a thing without UWB or Standalone 5G.

@OtterBox @rsgnl 👏🏼

@rsgnl we still sell these, I wonder if the kids know what they were used for 🤔

Apple still sells this. I bet some kids don't even know what it is.

@pankajkanal @theapplehub The latest dev beta helps the battery issue. Also check on your background app processes and turn off any you don’t particularly care about.

@theapplehub Battery. Within 9 months the battery health down to 97% and started dropping like anything since loaded ios17 beta version

What would you change about the iPhone?

@TheBrofucius @skidawgkc22 @jillsville7 @GarrettRWang Oh for sure!

So, seriously, how old is Beckett Mariner? Her school chum is already a captain, and she served on DS9 in the early-mid 2370's, at least 6 years before the series premiere. Boimler assumes in ep 1 that they are the same age, but it just can't be! #StarTrekLowerDecks

@skidawgkc22 @jillsville7 I wish the timelines matched up so they get @GarrettRWang to come on as Harry Kim and provide some mentorship 🤣

@jillsville7 You have to keep in mind that Mariner is a massive screw-up and slacker. As a result, she's still an ensign.
