It’s not. Series X and series S use native Bluetooth and work with xpadneo. Older controllers use their own proprietary receiver that needs to be plugged into the machine and work with regular xpad.

Probably a better idea would be to leave it archived. Whoever wants to take over can fork it and prove themselves by showing their work.

The xz debacle has shown that there are risk involved in an established developer endorsing an unknown one.

It will go through Google servers if you want to talk to an Android user… If Apple implemented RCS only for its own users there wouldn’t be much point to it. 🙂

You just need an app that does this transparently.

Oh wait, that’s why Google isn’t letting anybody else use RCS. 😄

I’d be more interested to know what they think iMessage is, if not a messaging app…

I’m fairly sure the only reason for which Apple is using RCS is to circumvent the EU DSA, which requires them to make iMessage interoperable with other chat systems. So instead of opening access to iMessage they’re using a completely different system as a distraction.

I mean, they could’ve said that iMessage is already interoperable via SMS but the feature disparity is too large. RCS will serve nicely to confuse the issue.

There’s otherwise nothing to gain for Apple by adopting RCS. iMessage already does everything RCS does and more.

They could also kill RCS tomorrow if they wanted to, by simply releasing iMessage for Android. But then they wouldn’t have a red herring to show the EU — if anything they’d be in an even worse position as per DSA. It would also antagonize Google although I’m not sure how much they care about that.

optical media doesn’t last that long (5-10 years) and is easily damaged

I beg to differ. I’ve been backing things up to optical for 25 years now with minimal issues. CDs could be easily scratched but it hasn’t been the case for DVD and BR.

M-DISK uses in-organic substances that make the discs mostly immune to exposure but it’s a more recent invention. Proper storage and handling still goes a long way towards protecting discs even if they’re not in-organic.

I really don’t see the issue. If the work account uses Google or Microsoft I use their respective web apps and export an ICS link to see the blocked slots in my own personal calendar.

For my own personal calendar I use CalDAV, which is widely supported, and an app that can import ICS links. (Self-hosted Radicale server and the Calengoo app for mobile and desktop, for the curious.)

A good overview of the circumstances of the recent Chevron decision.

Please note the final paragraph. Koch’s goal is exactly this: bringing cases in front of the Supreme Court that, if won, would cause grave disturbances.

They’re a very common form of personal backup. A few discs and an USB writer and you get a very long lasting medium for passwords, personal files, family photos etc.

Can also archive multimedia of course, the smallest discs are 25 GB and can pack a few films, a season of a series, or a lot of music.

• What does “authentication” mean if there’s no server?
• How do browsers behind NAT connect to each other?
• How does it verify that the other chat partner is who they say they are?
• Why use this and not Simplex?

Hence the controversy! 🙂

Also, Graphene tend to act superior about it and it pisses people off.

They claim their security measures are better then other custom ROMs.

Just a note, the US military completed the phase-out of floppy disks in 2019.

Bold of you to assume Ubuntu was a recent version.

Don’t worry, Ubuntu was probably Lucid. 🤭

Medical environments are notorious for inept tech skills and slow technology adoption.

There are muxing apps that can do that.

I won’t believe until I see it. They can still pull out at the last moment. There’s just no way Trump comes out looking good.

Contact support and tell them how many you need and they’ll try to accommodate you. There were a lot of people abusing the service and hosting hundreds of domains so now they’re making everybody request them explicitly unfortunately. They’ve also had to suspend their .dedyn.io DDNS service indefinitely because of the abuse.

That’s why we can’t have nice things.

Please read up on DNSSEC because you will be required to turn it on for every domain you host with them.
