you discovered the importance of multiple non-associated fact checking institutions holding one another accountable :)

fiduciary duty requires that directors of corporations protect the interests of shareholders’ investments—including maximizing profits where reasonable and within the bounds of the law.

even if technically illegal on paper (which i’m not sure it is), so long as there is no enforcement or accountability, t-mobile and similar entities have literally no reason do do better. they are literally just holding up their end of the law.

in other words, this unfair treatment isn’t just one of many unfortunate flukes. it is literally baked into the system as a requirement.

thanks, genuinely lmao. the trolls have discovered they can throw around the word “troll” for fun now i guess 😭

genuinely huh? why must you be so unkind i just shared my thoughts based on knowledge of the past :/ this site is so nasty sometimes

it will be interesting to see how apple tries to instill consumer trust for doing something technally less secure than microsoft’s on-device copilot garbage (which was kind of a PR failure as we all know). as always, apple knows when to innovate and knows when to follow the leader

don’t get me wrong, both companies are profit seeking entities but it’s always impressive how apple uses marketing to pull off parallel implementations with 99% less uproar. in my view, articles like this are a grassroots of what it’s planning to maximize support

edit: to be more clear this is an apple enthusiast comment; i am inspired/in awe by apple’s marketing talent and product strategy. i am just highly critical of the AI trend going around

only works on purpose built “Copilot” devices and looks to be disabled by default

definitely funky but not as bad as other AI moves that users didn’t get to chose whether it showed up

nobody else has adopted RCS

hm? genuinely does the following not contradict your statement?

Chinese carriers have been proponents of RCS for years, and last year, the Chinese government began the process of codifying into law that to achieve certification, new 5G devices will be required to support RCS. src

like maybe im misunderstanding but seems fairly clear that significant people groups are turning toward RCS.

sad! the world once again fell for google’s propaganda and deception just because they were able to muster up a good-guy attitude and a winning smile.

is not rcs simply another locked down standard under the thumb of google, which they have decided to limit and block on rooted devices in the past?

correct me if im wrong ? but this all seems like a freight train of no good barelling in. google propoganda has won out and we’re swapping one gatekept standard for another.

reading these comments i didn’t realize there was a whole subculture around teslas and how pervasive and trending toward toxic it was. wild.

thank ya!

genuine question: why call the police anyway? say the tesla driver was right and there was no compatibility. what were they thinking the rivian driver is gonna do? worst case scenario is they are gonna realize their mistake and… leave?

like how is this different from me seeing someone accidentally filling a minivan with diesel and calling the fucken cops about it? i feel there is something more malicious going on here than “a need for education” unless i am missing something.

this format of headline needs to die.

“coming to your appliances” no the hell it’s not it’s coming to appliances on the market. which you can choose to buy, or install the app onto.

feels like fatalist manipulation tactics to subconsciously get you to accept that replacing appliances every two years is normal.

okay

absolutely fair

thanks haha this is the first time ive brought up the mindset behind it without being called a shill or something 😭

i personally do like the magic mouse i like the lil touchpad on top but i can definitely see how it would suck weeeeeener for gaming or perhaps design applications, probably a lot more than those examples too

i was getting close to -10 points for a second 😭 i guess the sane people that don’t just knee jerk vote were asleep

idk about the widgets lore i literally don’t follow apple at all i just happen to know about marketing and design stuff

we actually agree on this point. i don’t argue they look more orderly i argue they look uniform across the ecosystem which was central to my thesis :)

i count at least three but thanks lol

i could definitely see that happening
