Rob PegoraroBARCELONA–Hola desde <a href="https://robpegoraro.com/tag/mwc/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">MWC</a>! I’m here for my 10th time to cover the giant tech event formerly known as <a href="https://robpegoraro.com/2013/03/02/my-mwc-mileage-as-quantified-by-a-jawbone-up/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Mobile World Congress</a>. I’m here through Thursday morning, which the past nine years of covering MWC have taught me will be barely enough time to take in the show and probably not enough time for Barcelona tourism.Before I left, I wrote an extra post for Patreon readers sharing <a href="https://www.patreon.com/posts/notes-on-two-and-99063462" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">my notes on two potential alternatives to Intuit’s Mint</a>: Quicken Simplifi and Monarch Money.2/20/2024: <a href="https://www.aarp.org/home-family/personal-technology/info-2024/lifeline-low-income-broadband-program.html" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">A Lifeline for Low-Income Households Is Available After the ACP</a>, AARPI had been meaning to pitch my editor at AARP after catching up with her at <a href="https://robpegoraro.com/tag/ces" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">CES</a>, but she e-mailed me first to ask if I could bang out an explainer of the government broadband subsidy still taking applicants now that money is running out on the Affordable Connectivity Program. Since I’m writing this from Spain, I’ll also note that AARP published <a href="https://www.aarp.org/espanol/hogar-familia/tecnologia/info-2024/programa-de-banda-ancha-para-bajos-ingresos.html" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">a Spanish version of my post</a> (fortunately, without relying on <a href="https://robpegoraro.com/2019/08/23/three-years-in-thrall-to-duolingo/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">my own Duolingo Spanish</a>).2/22/2024: <a href="https://www.pcmag.com/news/most-tiktok-users-even-younger-ones-rarely-post-videos" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Most TikTok Users, Even Younger Ones, Rarely Post Videos</a>, PCMagI got an advance look at yet another Pew Research Center study of social-media usage, and this one surfaced some surprising trends about TikTok use that I thought worth highlighting.2/23/2024: <a href="https://www.pcmag.com/news/google-pay-to-be-replaced-by-google-wallet-in-another-payment-app-reorg" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Google Pay to Be Replaced by Google Wallet in Another Payment App Reorg</a>, PCMagI had to set aside packing for MWC Thursday when I saw that Google had once again reshuffled its mobile-payments app lineup. Writing this post took me down a memory lane lined by the wrecks of bad corporate judgment, and not just from Google–in retrospect, it remains dumbfounding that carriers thought they could sell their customers on a payment platform they controlled, and that they then named it “Isis” just in time for that word to become indelibly associated with a terrorist death cult.<a href="https://robpegoraro.com/2024/02/25/weekly-output-lifeline-explainer-tiktok-trends-google-kills-google-pay/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://robpegoraro.com/2024/02/25/weekly-output-lifeline-explainer-tiktok-trends-google-kills-google-pay/</a><a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://robpegoraro.com/tag/acp/" target="_blank">#ACP</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://robpegoraro.com/tag/barcelona/" target="_blank">#Barcelona</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://robpegoraro.com/tag/catalunya/" target="_blank">#Catalunya</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://robpegoraro.com/tag/google-pay/" target="_blank">#GooglePay</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://robpegoraro.com/tag/google-wallet/" target="_blank">#GoogleWallet</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://robpegoraro.com/tag/gpay/" target="_blank">#GPay</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://robpegoraro.com/tag/lifeline/" target="_blank">#Lifeline</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://robpegoraro.com/tag/mobile-payments/" target="_blank">#mobilePayments</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://robpegoraro.com/tag/mobile-world-congress/" target="_blank">#MobileWorldCongress</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://robpegoraro.com/tag/mwc/" target="_blank">#MWC</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://robpegoraro.com/tag/nfc-payments/" target="_blank">#NFCPayments</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://robpegoraro.com/tag/pew-research-center/" target="_blank">#PewResearchCenter</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://robpegoraro.com/tag/spain/" target="_blank">#Spain</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://robpegoraro.com/tag/tap-to-pay/" target="_blank">#tapToPay</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://robpegoraro.com/tag/tiktok/" target="_blank">#TikTok</a>
