A wild week of political news. Trump and China agree to pause tariffs for 90 days. Trump kills a broadband initiative meant to help connect people and train people in tech jobs. The FTC will not enforce “click to cancel” rule. Republicans kill WiFi options for low income students.

Plus, Philips intros 3D printing repair kits for their products. Microsoft extends some support for Windows 10. And, the XPERIA 1 VII leaks look like Sony will charge even more for their flagship phone.

Let’s get our tech week started right!
