Going Mobile

Donald’s never-ending product announcements. At best they fail. It’s just as likely they never appear, as I suspect will happen with the Trump Phone.

The Trump Mobile phone is nowhere to be found

A small-time family business like Trump’s, lacking any sort of technical proficiency, has zero ability to develop and deploy smartphones and mobile services. So, this is just another exercise in branding, with Trump’s name slapped on somebody else’s product. But Who?

Speaking of technology… I disabled WiFi on my phone, placing it on the LTE/5G network. When I opened the Verizon Home app, I shouldn’t have been able to log onto my router and see the devices on my home network. Except I can.

WAN Remote Administration is always enabled, at least when using Verizon Home. While I’m in the process of dealing with Verizon about this serious security vulnerability, I’m looking into options from replacing the router to installing a filtering bridge.
