Because the built in sms is easy to use and built into the phone and contacts app.

Now, wait a minute, there, pal! The new iOS 26 has Windows Aero theme! Now, that's innovation! You don't get Windows Aero anywhere else, these days! And you know what Apple calls it? Liquid Glass... to show you exactly how fragile their product is...

unfairly shuts out rivals

Well., yeah... That's that ""magical, innovative experience” that makes the firm unique" that Apple was talking about.

I have an iPhone for work. iMessage is turned off, because fuck that shit. You don't like the green? Either suck it up or use our corporate messenger.

Use no-drill drywall anchors. The plastic ones generally expand when you screw in the screw. The metal ones don't, since they're metal and hold better than plastic. I've used both, and usually prefer the metal, because they're easier to remove is I need to.

Plastic:

Or metal (usually zink):

From a legal perspective, this is copyright infringement.

From a PR perspective, if Nintendo did nothing, they are siding with this type of use and with those who used it in such a fashion. This may be good or bad, depending on how Nintendo actually sides. If they did something about it, they may he making enemies with the court systems, but they may be making friends with them, depending on how the court system sides.

Basically, they have precedence to sue, but whether or not they do, and what the outcome would be, is anybody's guess. But if this goes live, I would appreciate a heads up, because popcorn takes a few minutes to prepare.

But a phone farm doesn't necessarily use whole cellphones. All it really needs is the network chip and a sim unit for network authentication, and the hub would then power and control it all. The pictures in the article look like a phone farm of this sort, and I believe they're correct in their assessment of its danger.

The U.S. Secret Service’s Advanced Threat Interdiction Unit, a new section of the agency dedicated to disrupting the most significant and imminent threats to our protectees

I wonder who those protectees are...

Yeah, it was bonkers!

Lol yes. Technically they could, couldn't they

So, basically a Librem 5 with /e/OS and cloned as an iphone 14 lookalike for €1200... I wouldn't call that flagship, except for the price.

Edit: typed the price wrong.

Edit 2: I'm not negating the benefits of this phone or even of having this phone in the available market. Only that calling it a flagship is, imo, false advertising.
