Or the one that made it into an Australian TV advert. Guy walks into a service station. “Got a windscreen wiper for my Lada?” “Yeah, mate. Sounds like a good deal to me.”

Residents might, but the huge number of international visitors who rely on Google Maps wherever they go won't need to go hunting for alternatives when arriving in South Korea. And the other parts of the Google ecosystem that rely on Maps will start to function in South Korea again.

Apple finally got the green light to enable Find My in South Korea back in April. Before that, you disappeared off the map when in South Korea, at least as far as Find My is concerned.

I’m seeing a square favicon/app icon, not really an official company logo. Should there not be an option for the actual logo?

Same for credit cards that offer travel insurance as long as the flights/rental cars etc. are booked through them. They'd most likely need to see the charge from the airline in order for the coverage to be effective.

The fact that the credit reporting agencies can (and do, when not prohibited by state law) charge a fee for each freeze and unfreeze event is what prevents me from doing this. While the fee isn't expensive compared to dealing with the ramifications of ID theft, it's the principle of paying the data guardians to guard my data better that I object to. Especially when I have no choice (assuming I want to live a modern life) but to have them manage my data.

The headline seems sensationalized. The article doesn't mention a recommendation not to use, it simply was the absence of a recommendation at all.

"...asked the group to raise their hands if they would recommend private American citizens use products or services made by Apple competitor Huawei or smartphone maker ZTE."

The US Government is not in the business of recommending device brands or services to private individuals, and not making a recommendation is not the same as recommending against.

This is the way that mobile data roaming works - the Internet egress point is your home carrier's, not the carrier on which you are roaming. Nothing special about T-Mobile here.

...and way behind in others. Try finding a pre-paid voice & data SIM in Japan (hint: it doesn't exist due to arcane regulations - non-residents can only get data-only SIMs). Most WiFi spots require registration that require you to confirm identity via a verification email (think chicken and egg).
