  • How RCS on iPhone Will Make Texting Better for Everyone

    Jump

  • Samsung signed a deal so that they can use the Jibe API to be a part of E2E when using RCS.

    Since I'm sure there's Internet where you're at, you can take a look from Verizon's RCS roll out on messages+ in 2021 to Samsung's S9, prior to relying on Google Jibe. Verizon did eventually switch to use Jibe for their entire RCS implementation now instead of relying on their own infrastructure as did T-Mobile.

  • Well sure. You've got to trust that Jibe isn't man in the middling the key exchanges but regardless, it doesn't change what I said.

  • Not true. Both Samsung and Verizon messages uses RCS, so long as your carrier has implemented RCS.

  • They are also the only RCS supplier on Android. A random messaging app can’t simply add RCS messaging functionality.

    You are correct that an app can't directly implement RCS but it can support it. RCS is implemented by the carrier, not by Google or any other text application.

    RCS is an open standard that any carrier can implement to replace SMS/MMS. The only thing special that Google does is on top of RCS is provides E2E via its own servers for handling messaging. The E2E isn't a part of RCS, though it should be IMO. Regardless, Google doesn't 'own' the Android implementation because it isn't a part of Android, other than it can support the carrier's implementation of RCS.

  • It looks like to me that its set up purposefully to obfuscate its structure. I'd also assume the reason for the loan for 15% of shares was so the parent essentially isn't really just a sole owner to protect them from liability.

  • Meta’s “set it and forget it” AI ad tools are misfiring and blowing through cash

    Jump

  • The best part is when the business customers had to use an AI chatbot for support which was as helpful as the AI Adbot.

  • The walls of Apple’s garden are tumbling down

    Jump

  • Right now the closest we have to that is running ampere clusters. I'm saying that because it is going to be some years before any phone GPU/CPU is going to be able to effectively run a decent AI model. I don't doubt there will be some sort of marketing for 'boosting' AI via your phone CPU/GPU but it isn't going to do much more than be a marketing ploy.

    It is far more likely that it will still continue to be offloaded to the cloud. There is going to be much more market motivation to continue to put your data on the cloud instead of off of it.

  • The walls of Apple’s garden are tumbling down

    Jump

  • It's already here. I run AI models via my GPU with training data from various sources for both searching/GPT-like chat and images. You can basically point-and-click and do this with GPT4All which integrates a chat client and let's you just select some popular AI models without knowing how to really do anything or use the CLI. It basically gives you a ChatGPT experience offline using your GPU if it has enough VRAM or CPU if it doesn't for whatever particular model you're using. It doesn't do images I don't think but there are other projects out there that simplify doing it using your own stuff.

    what do you think about my tier list of distros

    Jump

  • This list is so bad, it has to be a troll.

  • U.S. bans noncompete agreements for nearly all jobs

    Jump

  • That's just so they can treat you like crap and under pay you, so that you can't just go be a handy many somewhere else. If you lived in California it would have already been unenforceable anyway though.

  • What're some of the dumbest things you've done to yourself in Linux?

    Jump

  • I accidentally overwrote /etc/passwd once and I allowed /boot to run out of space during a kernal update and I created a local user with the same user that was also on the realm/domain that I had joined and various bash script issues.Some stuff I've had to fix that someone else did:

    • named a file rm -rf
    • rm -rf /bin instead of ./bin -- Also the fact that they had sudo was crazy and also I guess this was the second time
    • chmod -R 777 /
    • Various software bugs running swap out of space or hitting the inode limit by creating files over and over again with a timestamp in the filename and having to remove all of them because there was no backup to the OS
    • Someone disabled SELinux because something wasn't working but didn't tell anyone -- ugh
    • Compiled java because they googled some issue and followed some old tutorial without understanding anything instead of using alternatives and symlinked the old java from /bin to /home/theiruser/java -- had sudo because he was a Windows domain admin.
    • Cybersecurity guy didn't know what some VMs did so he turned them off and figured he'd find out if/when someone complained. Caused a massive core services outage.
    • Same Cybersecurity guy deleted a bunch of data because he wanted to see how the sysadmins would respond and witness backup restorations. He did not inform anyone.
    • Cybersecurity guy above still has Domain Admin and sudo everywhere. I would have personally removed his privileged access regardless of what 'CyberSecurity' management thought but I was leaving for a new job by then anyway so I figured I'd just let them eventually lie in the bed they made.

    There's more but I don't want to keep going because it is Sunday and I don't want to ruin it.

  • Why is folder sharing between host and guest in KVM so hard?

    Jump

  • You can use Gnome Boxes to give you a front-end for KVM/qemu like VB. With the spice-webdavd package, you can share files similarly to the guest or send files directly to it.

    As far as Samba goes, it is just a FOSS implementation of Microsoft's SMB. Just like with Windows, you'll have to open Explorer to the IP/Hostname of your Samba server or I guess have both join the same workgroup with the same name on the same subnet.

    If you’ve got an EV, Google Maps is about to become much more valuable | New updates address one of Americans’ top concerns about owning an electric car: finding a place to charge

    Jump

  • Maybe they'll replace it with a few of the features of Waze but without ads, adds stuff that have been asked for by people for years and the Google Maps look, call it Google Ways and act like it's going to be continued to be developed as Google Maps 2.0. Then Google Maps goes away but Google Ways never gets updated with anymore features.

    All the competitors on the market lose a large part of their customer base now.

    Then one day Google Maps makes a reappearance to replace Google Ways. You can now select an icon to represent your car but otherwise, it has no Waze features and has less features than the original Google Maps but they promise they'll be porting those features over. They never do.

    That's pretty much the kind of thing I expect from Google.

  • How about adding speed limit without a destination, showing house/building numbers around you, traffic overlay without a destination, allow voice response to if reported hazards/speed traps/whatever is still there, better lane assistance, turn or which side the destination is on preview on the turn before so you know which lane to be in? Maybe a Recents list that doesn't seem like it's just a shuffle of a few random locations you've been to maybe once in the last 6 months?

    Maybe some of that has been added somewhat recently?

  • Linus Torvalds Injects Tabs To Thwart Kconfig Parsers Not Correctly Handling Them

    Jump

  • I apologize. I didn't know I had replies when I deleted my post. Yeah I know you can set that behavior in some editors. And other than what I just replied with on another comment, I like tabs because I also don't have to worry about styling guides that some set down as '2 spaces' or '3 spaces' or '5 spaces' or whatever. It is basically just universally a horizontal tab.

    Jump

  • Sorry I didn't realize I had replied with I deleted my comment. I understand some editors allow you to set tab and you can set actual spaces, like in vi. However, personally I feel like hitting tab gives me the whitespace I want for readability already.

    For programmatic parsing it is simple because it's just looking for an HT.
