Samsung messages was using RCS since 2012… Years before Google messages adopted it.

There are others out there that use it but call it by different names like “advanced messaging”, “SMS+” etc

Google was the first to add e2e encryption and push it hard though, but if you send a RCS message from Google messages to Samsungs messages app, it won’t have e2e, and most likely will be the same with messaging Apple.

But given how much Apple have fought to make it hard (or at least inconvenient) to message between them, and shut down any apps that made messaging between Apple and Android better, this is a big step for Apple

Given the company is worth over $100b I don’t even think something this value would be mentioned to the board, let alone concern them when they just bought a potential president for cheap

They didn’t need to dig very far on Trump to get enough dirt for charges though

Oh… I misunderstood that part then, I thought that part of the order was still in place. That’s not as bad for him. My hope is that the monitor digs up a lot more dirt in that time and hands it over, like they did a month or so back

I’m no expert by any means but I think once he’s kicked out of NY, it’s going to be pretty difficult for him to get back in.

He also has the court appointed monitor for the next 3 years which he already complained is costing him money (by stopping him from committing more fraud).

On top of that, banks will think twice before doing business with him in the future making it very difficult for him to make money without risking what he already has

While I agree that it should have been much more, I think (well more of a hope) that the long term damage this will do will cost him and his family far more than if he never committed fraud in the first place… Then again, he’s shown an amazing ability to avoid consequences this far

And all this time I thought it was just the surgeons that had God complexes

Sorry, I’ve had like 2 hours sleep in the last 2 days so I’m tired and grumpy lol, just ignore me

I specifically said it’s negligible if you bothered to read past that line

Ethereum did approximately 1.1m transactions a day. Visa did approximately 660m a day.

Small difference lol

Just to expand on this, While eth is 99.99% less energy use than Bitcoin, it still added 2.8 kilotonnes of co2 last year which is equal to about 2000 average houses for a year.

It’s a negligible amount in the scheme of things, but a lot for a virtual currency especially when you add up all the various cryptocurrencies out there.

It wouldn’t hurt to make all the POS ones use green energy, but probably wouldn’t impact anything by itself.

Changing Bitcoin to green energy alone probably would however.

It even says it in the article op linked

The Apple Music app provides access to the iTunes library, alongside song and album purchases. Apple TV also lets Windows users watch movies and TV shows from their iTunes library

Wouldn’t last… you’d end up like Australia where they just form coalitions and it’s the same result as if they never split

That’s what they changed it to after I had already left… At first they only gave you 2 weeks at other locations for the year

The Netflix one screwed me… I go to hospital 3 times a week for 5 hours of dialysis. But Netflix viewed that as a second household and wanted me to pay for a second account to use my own account in 2 locations

Now I pay for zero accounts and still get any Netflix shows I want through alternative methods

But then we might not know if he means Haley or Pelosi

Yeah I think you misread it, they are specifically saying you CAN’T compare because Taiwan is such a complex issue

Ukraine was very black and white compared to it

Especially in a trial where he’s already been found liable and is in the penalty phase

You forget that all this is playing for his base who he keeps telling that he’s innocent and will ultimately be found innocent… They still think there’s a chance he can win this and completely ignore the fact that the ruling has been made already against him

Or black

The US isn’t the only country giving aid and weapons… other countries have provided extra stuff in the meantime
