At lease with Apple stepping into RCS it will get better. Having them contribute research would add more features or at lease actual End to End encryption to the GSM Universal profile. Not just Google and Google Messages.
I think initially RCS features were determined by what Server was hosting it. Google of course wanted everyone to use their profile on their servers… With a great reputation on data retention and privacy Google was of course getting Apples approval.
With how convoluted RCS was in the beginning. Where literally US carriers had their own versions, then some manufactures had their own RCS profiles. You and your Friend could have the same phone, but different carrier and it wouldn’t work. Or two carriers would agree to support each others RCS profile, but the same phone model on either carrier had different OS versions so it wouldn’t work.
It was a mess.
Get Steam to support the Game Port tool and SteamVR. You’ll have Mac gaming be on par or dam near close to PC.
Steams Proton and Apples Game Porting Tool are basically the same Wine engine/code.
Or get rid of that front display and I’d consider it.
LLM, emphasis on the Large. A standard LLM will take up A LOT of storage space to the point where the user won’t have much left. Let alone the continuous processing power needed.
Siri + local “Small” Language Model. It could have full access to on device data, but more generalized quires are done remotely.
Didn’t they resort to Intel modems because Qualcomm wasn’t producing them fast enough to meet demand?
And Qualcomm would no longer have a nice cash cow
Goes to show, say what you will about Apple keeping a lock on iMessage. However at lease iMessage hasn’t been blatantly exposed to the internet by careless actions from Apple.
iCloud/AppleId has never been “hacked”. Only users with shitty passwords that someone guessed.
- Xbox App
It worked just fine for me a few weeks ago testing out a Backbone.
- Safari
The Xbox.com streaming works fine and a couple decent emulator websites run too.
- Steam
I never bothered trying. Even their website they say it’s possible.
I wan’t to know who is actually fighting for this feature? Not just asking for it, but has an actual catalog of apps that are so unique and can’t be found on the App Store. While also having the actual app package file reading to load.
Only nerds want side loading. The majority of iPhone/Apple users don’t know anything outside of the Facebook App. In fact, the majority of smartphone users in general don’t know what side loading is or would even care to know.
I thought RCS only works with a server present to act as the host. Having things pass through a Google controlled server was the privacy concern. Since they can easily retain that data in its encrypted form. Which they could likely just as easily unencrypt.
While Apple relies on AWS and Azure for their cloud services. I’m sure they have some sort of agreement or control over the data that limits what Amazon and Microsoft could potentially access.
Apple however can’t guarantee the security or privacy of the Apple user when interacting with an Android phone via RCS. I wonder how they will twist a false sense of privacy
