I asked it to do the same and it drew a nutsack:

The battery is the most expensive part of the phone

Lol no it's not? This is easy to disprove just by looking at the price of replacement parts. You can't tell me that the battery is more expensive than the processor of the phone.

This is like closing a shop to prevent robbers.

Surely the solution is to make the grid they charge off of sustainable then????

A useless comment by a useless person who's never touched code in their life.

Similar experience from a European.

I own a 2015 Vauxhall Adam. It's a brilliant little petrol car, 3 doors, very small and very reliable.

GM canned the model in 2019. It makes no sense to me, if they had stuck a battery in it for an electric version I'd have been sold in a heartbeat.

But no, GM wants to focus on big cars that I don't want. I don't want anything bigger than a 3 door hatchback, I'm only 20 and have no kids, why do I need some massive fuckoff SUV????

I feel a way to combat suburban hellholes is to at least make it more cycle-friendly in those areas. Big stroads kill any chance of people being able to cycle to stores, I feel a lot of people don't want to have to drive to get to a Walmart, especially in hot months and would probably prefer to bike it instead. There's obviously also the health benefits of people cycling too. For those more lazy individuals, e-bikes and e-scooters are a good idea that can help them rely less on their car too, and are far cheaper to run than a full car.

Eliminating huge sprawling suburbs is a monumental task, but we can at least apply patch fixes for some things at the moment.

It's surprisingly good at making nonsense

I can see why Google doesn't allow swapping out specific "core" apps such as settings. Giving a foreign app access to your system settings sounds ripe for abuse, which is why a lot of permissions are focused on changing them.

RCS does function over a data connection (and WiFi!), however unless you're sending large files over the wire it's probably not going to have any effect on your data bill. Text messages are a handful of kilobytes large at worst. SMS/MMS have lots of issues to do with security and capability, and most handsets support it in some form already.

No, it's just

  • not encrypted
  • harvested by your carrier (but at least it's not Google !1!1!1!1!1!1!)
  • interceptable by the government

If Google could prove that messages are E2EE then I don't give a shit who it routes through, they can't read it.
