The T1 Phone comes with 512GB of storage for $499 (promotional pricing). For that price, you get the Truth Social app pre-installed on your phone. Given its HTC U24 Pro-shared roots, there’s also a 3.5mm headphone jack. The box notes that the T1 Phone is “Proudly Assembled in the USA,” rather than the previous claim of being “Made in USA.”

Headphone jack?!?!? brrrrrrrrrrrr

    Lego legit makes “gold” colored bricks that look better/more like gold.

    Not the shiny ones, the ones that are matte and a weird swirly mix of goldish yellow and a clearer mix. It looks “bad” for gold but 10000x better. And its like 50c a piece at most.

      If you have admin capabilities on your home router, look into ad blocking DNS servers. Not kidding, with 5 minutes of work, you and everyone else’s devices in the entire home will no longer see this trash.

      Easy as:

      • Opening your router config (should be on the bottom of your router, or just go to your wifi settings and paste the “Gateway” IP into your web browser)
      • Find an option that mentions your DHCP server
      • There should be a box that says “DNS Server” that’s likely blank
      • Paste in an IP address of a public ad-blocking DNS server (such as AdGuard’s; 94.140.14.14)
      • Save and restart

      Done. You can go even crazier with a Pi-Hole and manage your own lists of domains you want to entirely block.

    ultimate example of white label expensive conservative merchslop. based on “HTC U24 Pro-shared roots” i cannot assume it is anything but exactly HTC U24 Pro, so did they ship all the individual parts that make a U24 and assembled it in the US or did they disassemble it in taiwan and re-assemble it in the US? either way it’s hilarious.

    also no shade on people who have HTC, but it sucks ass if you want a cheaper phone get xiaomi or samsung mid ranges.
