No, they’re not, but Google won’t get them (unless, as you state, they use google’s messaging app) Less Google, more better, in my opinion.
MMS hasn’t been a thing at my provider for years now, so want to send me an image? Use Signal or whatsapp (begrudgingly). I already rarely receive or send SMS, so not enabling RCS isn’t a big loss for me, I don’t get added to Google’s statistics (which they are so very proud off), and I won’t really miss any of its features.
IIRC, Apple implemented the original spec for RCS too, so none of the Google features like e2e will even work.
I’m disabling that shit day 1, I don’t need my messages sent over Google servers - not even if they were encrypted.
I don’t even know why telecoms in Europe even bothered, and neither do they. (I asked the RCS lead at one of them, and they agreed it was kind of pointless with signal, whatsapp, …. existing)
IIRC MySql inherits that behaviour when running on windows (or at least older versions do)
That was a real fun time when switching OS
I looked into distros using plasma 6 for a bit, but decided it wasn’t worth the hassle. It’s also a not trivial boot setup (dual boot with w11 and bitlocker + LUKS + secureboot) and the (k)ubuntu installer just handled it flawlessly (meaning not having to enter my bitlocker key on every boot)
Works fine for me (except some weird locale issue, but I knew that in advance)
I’m curious - if you want to listen high quality audio, why not get an actual audio player for that? Surely the DAC in some random android phone can’t be that good?
Also, the 1TB version is really only meant so they are actually somewhat usable for recording proRes or taking pictures in RAW
iDEAL sounds a lot like Bancontact/Payconic in Belgium.
Which doesn’t do everything Paypal does either. Others have mentioned the buyer protection, but there’s also multiple payment methods you can link to it, subscription management, and one-click payments (where it also enters your address for shipping) - and crucially: available worldwide.
