  • Android users get to use the default messages app, with the whole e2e encryption, reactions, full sized photos etc… SMS is used for advertisements, and sending messages to iphone users… SMS is only used by old people for 2fa as 2fa apps usualy have superior security and are now systematically prefered by companies.

    Both iphone users and android users need to download an extra app if they want E2E, full graphic images and videos, reactions etc…

    Just as people aren’t content with iWork and usually download Office because it works the same and can be read with the same formatting everywhere.






  • I’ve got another gripe with the bluetooth stack on android: there is no order of device to send telephony to. I never want to listen to music or answer the phone calls on my smartwatch whenever the car or the earbuds are switched off. But i still want to be able to pick up an emergency call from it whenever both are not connected. Puting in a priority order, within which the phone would be, could allow me to make and pick calls from any devices while automatically switching to the phone when the two other forementioned devices switch off.




  • Yeah, it’s alright. it might have cost 2$ more per phone to get some cybersecurity firm to audit all their services, fix them before launch and provide continuous monitoring. Who can afford 2$ on a 700 phone?.. /S

    How on earth would anybody launch a tech product without being serious on encryption and data protection in 2023?

    I consider those flaws to be purposefull. Carl Pei cannot invoque the inexperience card anymore.

    At least Google, Apple and Samsung protects the data they collect on their users, they know it’s value and they don’t want to share that money making data.



  • But would astroturfing on VKontact or telegram be a reason to nuke? Would paying nice crypto to Russian politicians be a motive to launch nukes? Bring the same mayhem, using sores in russian society, that they regularly bring to western countries using their sores and operating on both sides of the aisle. Use the same “the water makes the frogs gay” rethoric they have their allies use against the west.

    Let’s play this game too. At least we might have some fun till we all go the way of Slovakia or Hungary.
