  • It was honestly surprising to learn that SMS/RCS/iMessage is the most common way to send messages in the US, as it hasn’t been that way in the UK for over a decade now.

    For better or worse, folks in the UK & EU all switched to apps like WhatsApp, Messenger, Viber, etc. due to better features and free international calls.

    It seems like RCS is finally mature enough to compete, but good luck getting folks to move back.


  • If anyone else is wondering, I’ve not found a verbatim quote of the steps but I did see an article that mentioned the consequences. It seems like you will be able to turn this off but it will disable Voice ID:

    anyone with their Echo device set to “Don’t save recordings” will see their already-purchased devices’ Voice ID feature bricked. Voice ID enables Alexa to do things like share user-specified calendar events, reminders, music, and more. Previously, Amazon has said that “if you choose not to save any voice recordings, Voice ID may not work.” As of March 28, broken Voice ID is a guarantee for people who don’t let Amazon store their voice recordings.

  • On one hand, it always feels like a guaranteed first down or touchdown when the Eagles do it. On the other hand, other teams have tried to replicate it but with far less success.

    If most teams were running this type of play with a crazy success % then sure, let’s talk about why that’s happening. Until then, it just feels like sore losers complaining about a play they’re not good enough to stop or use themselves.
