At least with Google messages, you can still send normal SMS if your RCS chat can't go through. I think there's an option for it to automatically resend as SMS if RCS fails, too.
I guess there's no way of knowing if SMS will eventually drop out of fashion, but it would be good to keep around so it probably will stay around as a back up
Edit: well, I didn't see the other response say basically what I said, oops
Generally you can pretty accurately estimate the years (and make) of cars, due to the design preferences of the time
A 2003 Toyota Tacoma is very recognizable because of the simple and bubbly design a lot of late 90's and early 2000's cars had (coincidentally my least favorite time period of car design)
Of course there's also just a lot of stuff you pick up by seeing a car you don't recognize, researching it, and mentally noting the differences for the next time you see one!
East Coast cities have people swerving into the other side of the road because they're texting and driving, and unfortunately I don't have a button on my car to tell them to put their phones down in English, only car!
Hey! As a person who used to use reddit but got tired of how terrible it was then moved to the first Lemmy instance I could find, I... Agree? I'm not really sure.
Absolutely, I was pretty upset when Google added Gemini to their Messages app, then excited when the button (that you can't remove) was removed! Now I've updated Messages again and they brought the button back. Why would you ever need an LLM in a texting app?
Edit: and also Snapchat, Instagram, and any other social media app they're shoveling an AI chat bot into for no reason
Edit 2: AND GOOGLE TELLING ME "Try out Gemini!" EVERY TIME I USE GOOGLE ASSISTANT ON MY PHONE!!!!!
As a kid who went to school in a mildly rural school in Tennessee, I can confirm that our teachers said out loud they did not believe in evolution but "it's on the curriculum so I have to teach it"
