#1. Nokia launches DIY repairable budget Android phone
Nokia has announced one of the first budget Android smartphones designed to be repaired at home allowing users to swap out the battery in under five minutes in partnership with iFixit.

#3. Disgraced FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried has another big problem: He won’t shut up
Sam Bankman-Fried, the disgraced founder of the cryptocurrency exchange FTX, isn’t doing himself any favors. Despite being charged with orchestrating one of the largest financial frauds in history and facing the prospect of spending his life in prison, he has been tweeting and giving interviews with media — all in an attempt to defend himself in the court of public opinion.
It’s an unusual strategy for a high-profile criminal defendant who oversaw a company that lost billions of dollars of customer money. And it has left lawyers not involved in the case aghast, since each quotation and tweet from Bankman-Fried is effectively a gift to prosecutors, who can use that material to build their case against him. « I think every white-collar lawyer you could ask would say, ‘Shut up: Keep your mouth shut, and let us do the talking,' » says Rebecca Mermelstein, a partner at the law firm O’Melveny.

#4. Twitter shut off its internal Slack, and now ‘everyone is barely working’
Today, let’s check in on Elon Musk’s Twitter, where sudden software outages and another dubious transparency effort have left the company’s remaining workers more beleaguered than usual.
On Wednesday, Twitter employees had the tech equivalent of a snow day: the company’s Slack instance was down for “routine maintenance,” they were told, and the company was implementing a deployment freeze as a result. That same day, Jira — a tool Twitter uses to track everything from progress on feature updates to regulatory compliance — also stopped working. With no way to chat and no code to ship, most engineers took the day off.

#5 Amazon union leader flies in to help UK strikers ‘kick down the door’
The leader of Amazon’s first union has made his first trip outside the United States to support striking workers at the online retail giant’s Coventry warehouse.
Chris Smalls, who helped coordinate a successful unionisation drive at an Amazon warehouse in Staten Island, New York, in April 2022, travelled to the UK last week to provide advice to British workers as they try to gain recognition from the company.
