I think this is very clever, a great idea. I also think someone is going to figure out how to turn on iphones via NFC and upload malware of some kind.

I felt the same way after making a Shooter’s sandwich.

I’ve actually thought for a while now that a big software company should come out and say they support ReactOS for whatever their product is and advertise it like “Full, Oracle 23c DB support on ReactOS - but without the Microsoft tax.”

Yes, that’s not realistic between Oracle and MS, but it would be such a boon to ReactOS.

That meat doesn’t look cooked properly

I’ll make it spin my desktop cube, force every window to move slightly so they wobble and play Louis Theroux’s lyric Jiggle Jiggle.

Why? Just because Windows uses can’t.

creating an app that essentially copped their proprietary OS

The OS hasn’t been ‘copped’. They emulated the protocol, and your lack of understanding and confusing the two has led us to having this conversation.

Because you’re confusing the difference between an OS, an application and a protocol.

This is nothing to do with the OS.

He has a point though, you haven’t refuted that.

Why? As the article states this actually lessens security for everyone (including iPhone users).

The wifi worked fine for me on Fedora Asahi, macbook air m2.

If you have MFA enabled, and getting these alerts it would suggest MFA has been bypassed. I would contact Apple immediately.

It’s a bit more complicated than that unfortunately. RCS wasn’t made by Google, but they did join the GSMA that manages it. They are pushing it as an alt/war against iMessage, but it doesn’t go through their servers as far as i know, it’s still a Mobile Operator service (like SMS), so it goes through your provider (and I guess Google’s if you use Google Fi).

I kinda think the smart thing for Apple to do is to implement RCS support (make the bubbles orange/purple or something) and then they’ve done it and can continue working on iMessage if they like.

You went with Excel files as your database??? Are you Satan?

I think people get worried about concepts like pre-crime with this.

Great story, thank you!
