People only just learning what the 'E' signal symbol means on your cell phone

People only just learning what the 'E' signal symbol means on your cell phone A puzzled Quora user queried: "What does an 'E' mean on my cellphone signal? " Some folks think it means 'emergency', but that's a myth. Enviofone clears up the confusion, explaining that the 'E' stands for Enhanced Data Rates for GMS Evolution, also known as Enhanced GPRS. Their statement clarifies: "This is the second slowest mobile network, and it's usually the last network a modern smartphone will connect to. You'll typically see speeds around 400 Kbit/s, which is significantly faster than GPRS but still isn't fast enough to browse the internet. Texts will send slightly quicker and calls are more likely to connect though." As your signal gets stronger, your phone will level up to 3G, then 4G and 5G if it's up to date with the latest tech. But keep an eye out for the 'H' symbol too as it means you're on High-Speed Packe...

Rebel Wilson's memoir and the trap for plus-sized stars

  Rebel Wilson's memoir and the trap for plus-sized stars The "fat funny friend" trope, and why being a larger actor or musical artist is so complicated and fraught with difficulty. For several weeks now, Rebel Wilson's new memoir has been dominating the headlines. From serious allegations of sexual harassment against former co-star Sacha Baron Cohen (which he has denied, calling them "demonstrably false claims"), to details of losing her virginity at 35, her fertility journey, having a baby via a surrogate, her sexuality, and even an apparent beef with Adele – the actress has not held back. Rebel Rising, which is out in the US this week – but delayed until later this month in the UK – is one of the most candid celebrity memoirs to emerge in some time. And one of the subjects she is most open about is her body, and the role it has played in her career. Wilson lost 80lb (36kg) after making 2020 her "year of health". She decided to lose weight after...

Trump gag order expanded after he slams New York judge's daughter The judge overseeing Donald Trump's criminal hush money case has expanded a gag order on the former president after his online attacks against his daughter. Justice Juan Merchan has banned Mr Trump from criticising his family members or those of Manhattan prosecutor Alvin Bragg.The Trump campaign has called the gag order unconstitutional. In the case,   Mr Trump denies concealing hush money payments to an adult film actress ahead of the 2016 election. The original order last week barred Mr Trump from attacking court staff, potential jurors and witnesses. But Mr Bragg, the district attorney, argued on Monday that the restriction should be widened following Mr Trump's singling out of the judge's daughter. On 28 March, Mr Trump posted on his Truth Social platform that Justice Merchan's daughter was a "Rabid Trump Hater" who "admitted to having conversations with her father about me, and ...

  Netanyahu spurns Biden plea to call off Rafah assault in Gaza Netanyahu, Biden, Rafah assault, Gaza Netanyahu spurns Biden plea to call off Rafah assault in Gaza Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu spurned a plea from Joe Biden to call off a planned ground assault of Rafah, the last refuge in Gaza for more than a million displaced people, where Israel believes Hamas militants are holed up. Netanyahu told lawmakers on Tuesday he had made it “supremely clear” to the U.S. president “that we are determined to complete the elimination of these battalions in Rafah, and there’s no way to do that except by going in on the ground”. The two leaders spoke by phone on Monday. White House National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan said Washington believed that storming Rafah would be a “mistake” and that Israel could achieve its military aims by other means. U.S. and Israeli officials will likely meet early next week in Washington to discuss Israel’s military operation in Rafah, White Hous...

  Pakistan remained one of world’s three smoggiest countries in 2023 SINGAPORE: Pakistan remained one of the world’s three smoggiest countries in 2023, as Bangladesh and India replaced Chad and Iran, with particulate matter about 15 times the level recommended by the World Health Organization, data published on Tuesday showed. Average concentrations of PM2.5 – small airborne particles that damage the lungs – reached 79.9 micrograms per cubic metre in Bangladesh in 2023, and 73.7 micrograms in Pakistan. The WHO recommends no more than 5 micrograms. “Because of the climate conditions and the geography (in South Asia), you get this streak of PM2.5 concentrations that just skyrocket because the pollution has nowhere to go,” said Christi Chester Schroeder, air quality science manager at IQAir, a Swiss air-monitoring organisation. “On top of that are factors such as agricultural practices, industry and population density,” she added. “Unfortunately, it really does look like it will get w...
