Good for you. I am waiting for my rig on geforcenow again. :(

It does not work for me. It downloads the update, but still starts CS2. There are no launch options.

That explains it, then. Here it costs around 11 US cents per message. So if you are messaging a lot, they will add up at the end of the billing period.

I could not wait to end university, so that I can stop using big tech products. Unfortunately people only use products they are familiar with. If they are always on facebook, they use that for groups. Good luck finding a local community uses anything but facebook groups.

Edit: at university, many pieces of info reaches you informally. If you are not talking to classmates, you might miss important news as well.

Don't you get charged for every SMS message? Here in Europe I'm grumpy everytime I need to send an SMS, because I'm being charged for something that is completely free through the internet. Not to mention that due to our local characters, an SMS is only 70 chars long.

No silent treatment or rude comments afterwards?

True. And there seems to be nothing in between big corporations that want to squeeze out every last cent profit and un-/underpaid open source developers trying to figure out how to maintain something requiring more and more resources over time as the user base gets bigger. I am fortunate to have a Samsung S9 passed down to me, on which I can run e/ os, but comes with compromises (e.g. can't rent e-scooters from a company), plus they did something with the last update that messed up the colours of the screen. When it's time to replace it, I am seriously considering a used iPhone.

They don't have an adsense banner on almost every single website or mobile app that tries to sell me something based on the data they have collected from me. This is already an indicator. They even made zuckerberg mad by making it possible to opt out of sharing certain data with them. I am not saying apple is privacy example, but I would definitely put them higher on a list compared to google.
