Samsung messages was using RCS since 2012... Years before Google messages adopted it.

There are others out there that use it but call it by different names like "advanced messaging", "SMS+" etc

Google was the first to add e2e encryption and push it hard though, but if you send a RCS message from Google messages to Samsungs messages app, it won't have e2e, and most likely will be the same with messaging Apple.

But given how much Apple have fought to make it hard (or at least inconvenient) to message between them, and shut down any apps that made messaging between Apple and Android better, this is a big step for Apple

Just to expand on this, While eth is 99.99% less energy use than Bitcoin, it still added 2.8 kilotonnes of co2 last year which is equal to about 2000 average houses for a year.

It's a negligible amount in the scheme of things, but a lot for a virtual currency especially when you add up all the various cryptocurrencies out there.

It wouldn't hurt to make all the POS ones use green energy, but probably wouldn't impact anything by itself.

Changing Bitcoin to green energy alone probably would however.

It even says it in the article op linked

The Apple Music app provides access to the iTunes library, alongside song and album purchases. Apple TV also lets Windows users watch movies and TV shows from their iTunes library

A) it's not always safe to sleep outside when travelling

B) it's not always legal to sleep where you are

So by taking your own bed in the pocket dimension, you'll always have a safe, comfortable and legal place to stay without any cost

They are still doing it. I'm still waiting for dead island 2 to come to steam because it's a 1 year timed exclusive on epic

It was the IT crowd, a TV show, not real life

Hamas allegedly used paragliders to attack Israel

So what? We are meant to assume every recreational paraglider in the world is now part of Hamas?

Russia used trains to transport soldiers, do we report that some crazy lady thinks the local UK train is part of a Russian invasion?
