Apple store employees demand at least $30 an hour and many other improvements
Apple retail employees at New York City’s Grand Central store have begun a unionization process. Along with better working conditions, more vacation time, and better retirement options, the group is aiming for a $30 an hour minimum wage.
The group launched Fruit Stand Workers United, which highlights unionization efforts for Apple Store Grand Central employees. A new video has been added to the Fruit Stand Workers United website showing the union process, as well as a new section on the specific improvements the group wants to see through the union.
In terms of wages, we want a minimum of $30 for all employees, based on title, tenure, and performance. In terms of benefits, we are demanding more robust changes, such as increased tuition reimbursement, faster accrual and increased leave, and better retirement options, including higher matching rates.

In their mission statement, Fruit Stand Workers United explains the problem they see: “Year by year, our paychecks have not kept up with the rising cost of living. Meanwhile, Apple has become the most valuable company in the world.”
Through unionization efforts, the group seeks to gain “a legal right to representation in all matters of employment, leave, working conditions and compensation.”

Everything ingenious is simple. Samsung Galaxy S23 gets a charging system that can bypass the battery and power the phone directly
Samsung has implemented an ingeniously simple solution in its latest flagship Galaxy S23. There is an item in the menu called Pause USB Power Delivery. When activated, the phone’s battery will not be charged, instead the device will be powered directly from the power supply.
This battery bypass system has an advantage in cases where the phone is used for a long time under load. For example, in games. If you power the device and simultaneously charge the battery, then you need high power, which is accompanied by significant heating of the phone.
The experiment showed that in the game, when the phone is powered in the usual way (through the battery), the consumption is 17 W, and if the battery bypass system is enabled, the consumption will be only 6 W – three times less. Naturally, the phone will heat up minimally. Moreover, this technology allows you to extend the life of the battery, as the number of full charge and discharge cycles is reduced.
It is important to note that the technology works with a battery charge of more than 20%. That is, if the mains power is interrupted unexpectedly, no data in the game or application will be lost, as the phone will automatically switch to battery power.
The VimpelCom operator (known under the Beeline trademark) announced the launch of a new service that expands the capabilities of the proprietary anti-fraud platform.
As the press service notes, “Cloud verification” of calls will allow partner operators to protect their numbering from being used for illegal purposes, as well as protect subscribers. In addition, interaction with the state system for ensuring compliance by telecom operators with the requirements for the provision of communication services and traffic transmission services is provided.
Now the operator provides “Cloud Verification” in a test mode, the service is available for test participants free of charge. At the end of the pilot period, the service will be provided on a commercial basis.
According to VimpelCom, more than ten partners are already connected to the service, and from October to December 2022, they managed to process 24.5 million calls and block 6.8 million calls with number spoofing.
