T-Mobile Cracks Down on Samsung Store Upgrades by Adding $35 Device Fee
Device connection charges or upgrade fees are not new to the US wireless industry. If you head to AT&T or T-Mobile and upgrade to a new device, they are going to charge you a fee for doing so, on top of the price of your new phone. Of course, Verizon recently ended upgrade fees and should be praised for doing so, but they were previously a part of this scheme. A device connection charge or upgrade fee is at least $35 at AT&T and T-Mobile.

Opinion: COP27 failed, so why continue with these UN climate summits?
Climate change is an existential threat to human civilization and planetary ecosystems. Yet despite 27 UN Conference of the Parties (COP) meetings that have taken place so far, the international community has been unable to ward off imminent disaster. A number of expert commentators have already declared COP27—the recent UN climate summit in Egypt—to be a failure.

Climate change denial 2.0 was on full display at COP26, but there was also pushback
As several analysts have shown, organized climate change denial has played a major role in shaping media coverage, public opinion and thwarting progress on climate change policy for the past three decades. Some of the key players include: corporations, conservative think tanks and foundations; wealthy individuals (such as Charles and David Koch), who help fund key organizations involved in climate change denial; lobbying firms and conservative media.
Climate change denial 2.0 was on full display at CoP26, but there was also pushback
COP26 was yet another win for the fossil-fuel sector, but a loss for the planet. And as Greta Thunberg said, it’s simply more “Blah, blah, blah.” By David Tindall, Mark CJ Stoddart, Riley E Dunlap Published: Friday 19 November 2021 The COP26 summit in Glasgow, Scotland, saw incremental progress on addressing climate change. But even if countries meet their current commitments to reduce emissions, the planet is on course to heat up 2.4 C by the end of the century.

The COP26 summit in Glasgow, Scotland, saw incremental progress on addressing climate change. But even if countries meet their current commitments to reduce emissions, the planet is on course to heat up 2.4 C by the end of the century. This warming will submerge low-lying islands and coastal regions and lead to climate disasters globally. Despite knowing this, it remains difficult for governments to address the climate crisis.
