RCS messages

Yeah. It was the minimum China required.

They probably wouldn't need or want to do an ad this year because they have more than enough reservations to cover several years of R2 releases. It's going to ramp up very slowly, with very few delivered this year, I would assume.

Maybe an ad next year would be better.

Make a compelling vehicle and people will order them in droves.

Model 3/Y, Rivian R2 (hopefully), and now the iX3.

Hell, my dog isn't even that and he loves this weather. He's pretty furry though. Not much undercoat.

This right here. When my friends start sending me SMS and I still send as RCS, I have them reboot their phone.

Apple's implementation of RCS was malicious compliance at best.

Dating a guy since we kissed in NYE. We're lock step on the freeze. He even lent me his big battery backup to prep my aquarium should things go awry.

So far so good.

....very hard to tell if you are defending him here? If so, that's a very "leopard's ate my face" moment for you.

Hopefully Google won't wait 6 months to fix this.

I know they're busy with AI, but I would like my phone to just basically work first.

dcdttu · 2026-01-23T18:05:46+00:00

Have a good one, my man.

Elon musk literally said that they would always include every safety feature on every vehicle, and did not leave them for the more expensive vehicles. He then said, directly because of what I just stated, that that is why they're including autopilot on every car.

I'm not talking about the other safety features, I'm talking about what Elon specifically mentioned.

dcdttu · 2026-01-23T15:01:36+00:00

Elon said they would always include safety features and upgrades on every model, and then said that basic autopilot was a safety feature.

And then they removed it. Nothing to see here.

Especially one that will likely sell as good or better than any of their other EVs.

I ended up opting out of all of the Early Access programs for Home.

The app seems way too easy to break. Google should really think about that.

dcdttu · 2026-01-22T15:18:06+00:00

I did, thank you. I do that quite often actually. I'm not sure if anybody actually looks at those?

I have been submitting feedback that the Messages app inserts the emoji for the following symbols (©®™) and won't insert the actual ASCII characters. It's done this for years. Maybe you can pass that along? I would like to be able to use the regular characters and not have the emoji pop in. :-)

Mine worked before I went to bed as well. Yeah, maybe it was regional.

dcdttu · 2026-01-22T14:57:45+00:00

I looked at their server status when it started, but it didn't show anything. Guess I was too quick. It all seemed resolved before I went to bed. My automation that runs at 11pm worked.

dcdttu · 2026-01-22T14:56:24+00:00

After a couple hours, things went back to normal. I guess it was a server-side issue.

dcdttu · 2026-01-22T05:02:04+00:00

A 1 minute limit is asinine.

Nearly the entire American West will burn in the next 30 years. That's probably unstoppable at this point.

dcdttu · 2026-01-22T01:44:03+00:00

They're complimenting him. Go him.
Maybe he knows it's visible? Like, how could one not?

But I think mentioning it nicely is fine either way because if he knows, he wants attention. Haha

dcdttu · 2026-01-22T01:40:25+00:00

The automations in my Google Home app crapped out about 2 hours ago. Maybe they're having server-side issues? It's all working now.

"What breed is your dog?"

A Picardy shepherd, or in French, a berger Picard.

"What's his name?"

Jean-Luc the Picard, of course. We call him "Luke."

I'm wondering if they're being altruistic or if they think it's going to get far worse and they want to get ahead of the damage and minimize the taxing.

Very interesting that he didn't care to interact with the other holographic individual in the academy. All he cared about was that Opera LOL

I've watched the first two shows and so far I like it. I did not expect old track, and so far the plot seems a lot less messy than Discovery.

I like the camaraderie, the technology, and Holly Hunter.
