There’s a fine line between being understood and being misunderstood. They can’t just talk however they like if they don’t wanna increase the risk of the latter.

It’s gonna help. There’s not an all out 1 solution.

To be fair, alcohol is a poison.

Take out

Wood pulp is also found in pre-shredded cheese. Most don’t really find it a big deal.

Have you ever heard of capitalization?

The GSMA is not Google. Nice try though.

Do people forget about SMS? Apple’s solution uses that too. It’s shit. This is about replacing SMS with RCS. It’s hard to argue that Apple’s solution is better if you can only use it within Apple’s ecosystem.

Do you think burning fossil fuels somehow helps the atmosphere?

It might be a density thing. I often notice that the left lane being full in dense city populations. Get a tad outside and it’s back to normal.

There’s a chance that it previously was filled with water so they have an idea. Looks crazy heavy tho. Probably a 75L tank and most can’t support 75kg of weight like that.

Google One is the marketing people are probably referring to for privacy.

The pixel has the default function for DNS over HTTPS and their Google One offering has a VPN to “protect” your data. Both of those are sold as privacy measures.

I see a lot of responses here seem kinda out of touch with the actual functionality of the phone and what marketing pushes Google does.

Both are still pretty terrible coffee compared to any cafe though.

So maybe a hot take, but being at a bar to not drink alcohol is not really that fun.

Your client hardware wouldn’t matter tho. State of the art or whatnot of a gaming rig would be fairly low. In sure most modern mobile phones create more DNS requests these days compared to a Windows machine and steam. It’s the configured software on the hosts that will dictate how much traffic your devices will get. A lot also cache by listening to the TTL. There will be some form of additional latency but your average Joe won’t probably notice.

For home use, they barely do much. At an enterprise level, then it’s another story.

Gotomeeting, WebEx, bluejeans.

I was using WebEx for the longest time and our company switched to zoom. I recall that it was only for price and that there was a lot of missing functions that our team was used to.

YMMV with all these examples. There have been multiple times where I have emailed a utility bill or signed lease. My insurance has an online portal to change my car or house insurance (sorry I don’t have health insurance).

I get it though. This basically comes down to companies that suck and still use fax machines.
