If they take out Ukraine and only talk between Trump and Putin, then the war continues, the US just won't be their shop... Plenty of countries need to update their weapons on Ukrainian money.

Why Biden? He's not in this war except as a multi service shop. It would have been Zelinsky/Putin.

Except he can't rule over all of Europe...

Sms was from a time communications weren't done over IP, RCS or iMessage use the IP protocol, RCS could be implemented by the telcos but isn't because , unlike SMS, it can also be implemented by anyone with a server with a connection to the internet but as RCS is an open GSMA telecom standard, it is implemented within all modem chips by phone makers, even Apple has a Qualcomm modem chip with RCS management included. I reckon it needs a few extra features in the basic standard such as E2E encryption, chatbot capabilities, malware and spoofing protection, maybe Google could help there as they have introduced those into their Message app and could disclose their code, but they are obviously trying hard to create a walled garden too... The solution could come from Meta as they seem pretty keen to advance on open communications (Threads interoperability with Mastodon is a demonstration of that policy)

Android users get to use the default messages app, with the whole e2e encryption, reactions, full sized photos etc... SMS is used for advertisements, and sending messages to iphone users... SMS is only used by old people for 2fa as 2fa apps usualy have superior security and are now systematically prefered by companies.

Both iphone users and android users need to download an extra app if they want E2E, full graphic images and videos, reactions etc...

Just as people aren't content with iWork and usually download Office because it works the same and can be read with the same formatting everywhere.

There was a YT video from mrwhosetheboss recently whith him showing off harmony OS and it's ecosystem... Looks like it could please a lot of people who aren't into tech for a pile of reasons.

Well, that title aged fast. I guess that's what happens when funds might get totally drawn back.

Well, I guess the US has to choose since they refused to manage all three in one swoop: Help protect your biggest economic partner from Russian threats, manage your second biggest partner out of south-east asia colonialism or manage your border (and in the process make meat and veg more expensive)....

Decisions decisions decisions

The answer should be pretty simple: make a parallel more stringent deal inviting signatories to some open market for goods to European and American markets, Put in some control measures so that everyone stands by their word and state preconditions to join for countries who owe fossil fuel extraction and steel or cement production over 30% of their gross national income.

I've got another gripe with the bluetooth stack on android: there is no order of device to send telephony to. I never want to listen to music or answer the phone calls on my smartwatch whenever the car or the earbuds are switched off. But i still want to be able to pick up an emergency call from it whenever both are not connected. Puting in a priority order, within which the phone would be, could allow me to make and pick calls from any devices while automatically switching to the phone when the two other forementioned devices switch off.

They couldn't make a Limited Edition Ultra Premium Pro Design, so they went with the cheaper stuff.

The question, as always is which sony/canon DSLR they used to actually take the photos.

Sorry realme but on that specific point: there has been too much gaslighting from big and small manufacturers. I'll wait until the reviews are out.
