Futo repo for Futo Voice Input App. Totally free open-source offline speech to text engine. Works better than I expected (for English).
I registered with a VoIP number that a free app gave me. I doubt they're blocking all the freely available "temp sms" numbers out there.
With how US and Israel carry out their strikes as "affiliated", it just comes off as "I felt like it". Did we forget how they just bombed civs for fun in Iraq/Afghanistan with no repercussions at all.

This is essentially some good PR to lower the bad PR they're getting. The damage is already done, whatever narrative they were pushing worked. Now they get to say "We did bad things and we're aware of it. We have an oversight board and we have a system in place. We pinky promise we will continue to improve how we handle these things in future."
Until next time it happens again.
Sorry about what happened to your friend.
In fact news circulating lately suggest that some of those killed in October 7, might been killed by IDF.
what news?
With how often Google drops messaging apps, they were probably having internal conflicts with another messaging app in the pipeline.
Google messages won this round of rock, paper, and scissors and lives to see another day. lol
Below, I’ve embedded some graphics created by display analyst Dylan Raga that illustrate how Ultra HDR works. Using version 9.1.098 of the Google Camera app extracted from a Pixel 8, I took various Ultra HDR photos in a nearby park. These photos were captured on a Pixel 6 Pro, which surprisingly supports saving photos in Ultra HDR just by sideloading the latest version of Google Camera.
So maybe. or maybe just pro devices. not sure
Or they just want to keep the attention to Pixel product, any pixel. These little leaks doing rounds and rounds in tech sites mean more exposure to Pixels.
tldr; Zuck cares about engagement, not people.
They say it’s to stop people from stealing iPhones to sell for parts.
There's an easy fix to this. Allow users to mark their devices as broken/dead in their (icloud?) system, so its parts can be extracted and used for genuine repair. Put it behind 2FA, email confirmation, and require purchase invoice, or whatever to make it happen. To counter edge cases, give a month for appeal, only then mark it safe for usage of its parts on other phones. A trillion dollar company should be able to implement this, but they're trillion dollar company for a reason, so yea...
Thiefs don't have access to the accounts inside a locked phone, let alone the invoice of purchase.
I bought Designer last year as a one off. But there's no point in mastering it anymore. That's just going to suck you more into their ecosystem, then a subscription, then raising price, and then whatever they want.
