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

It's been a while since I used my resin printer, but I had a similar problem at one point and it came down to the support connection to the print... No matter how many supports I put, it didn't change the outcome, but when I made the support thicker and made the connection point thicker, suddenly I had no more problems... It just meant a little extra post processing on some parts

I don't think people realise how generous steam is by allowing Devs to sell steam keys on other platforms and still handle all the distribution and updates and everything for a key they didn't get paid for, and all they ask is you give the same or better deal to customers who purchase direct through steam

Given that steam let's you sell keys on other platforms (like gog, gmg, etc) and activate them on steam, and have steam handle all the heavy work of file distribution and stuff, it makes sense that steam wouldn't want you to sell steam keys cheaper on other platforms and make them wear all the cost of distribution... Otherwise they'd get no sales and end up with all the expense

The only other choice would be to no longer allow you to get steam keys to sell on other platforms or even to give away for review purposes or things like that.

My guess is similar to Intel XeSS where that's pretty much what it does, runs the game at lower resolution and uses the npu to upscale it in real-time

The biggest difference that this might bring is IF it can work with any game rather than just specific ones

If you ever dive into the filth that is r/conservative, you'll see that this has just reenforced their views that he needs to win and they need to do anything to make that happen...I don't think there's anything that could snap that cult out of it at this point

I was recently asked to make a small Android app using flutter, which I had never touched before

I used chatgpt at first and it was so painful to get correct answers, but then made an agent or whatever it's called where I gave it instructions saying it was a flutter Dev and gave it a bunch of specifics about what I was working on

Suddenly it became really useful..I could throw it chunks of code and it would just straight away tell me where the error was and what I needed to change

I could ask it to write me an example method for something that I could then easily adapt for my use

One thing I would do would be ask it to write a method to do X, while I was writing the part that would use that method.

This wasn't a big project and the whole thing took less than 40 hours, but for me to pick up a new language, setup the development environment, and make a working app for a specific task in 40 hours was a huge deal to me... I think without chatgpt, just learning all the basics and debugging would have taken more than 40 hours alone

He's had to shell out for both to appeal them... The first I believe he put up cash, the second he used properly as a bond

In other words, a big customer finally got effected

This has a similar feel to those cheap "international call cards" that uses hacked PBX systems through their own proxy so their users don't know it's going through random hacked systems

Can't have bad customer service if you don't offer ANY customer service
