EDIT: You know, after some time to cool off, Google Authenticator 2FA can still be enabled and isn’t being phased out like the less secure SMS 2FA, so it’s really not the end of the world here. The chance of permanent lockout is avoided, even if the whole Google Prompt system is still wack.
Samsung has released a new video in support of Google’s #GetTheMessage campaign which calls for Apple to adopt RCS or “Rich Communication Services,” the cross-platform protocol pitched as a successor to SMS that adopts many of the features found in modern messaging apps… like Apple’s own iMessage.
Context; So… Just bought a brand new TV and life is good, but I should have done more research before buying it. I primarily want to use PLEX for watching media on the TV.

Not his first attempt, but I want to do whatever I can to encourage him to stay on the wagon this time. I don’t have any experience of this, so I’d appreciate any tips from those who have been there already.
Same. My best mate has got with a lass who smokes (not a lot, like 5 rollies on a stressful day), and he started vaping, presumably from FOMO or whatever.
He’s stopped vaping now, which is great! He’s started smoking rollies now though, so that isn’t so great.
But how could Valve have made $6.5b off of their own games? They haven’t released anything in yonks have they?! Plus EA have the gacha-fication of FIFA/every other sports game franchise they own with Ultimate Team, etc.
Always like the idea of the Fairphone but I always find the chip to be a bit lacking.
Like if it had (at least) last years flagship chip then I feel like it’d be less of a compromise and the switch to a more sustainable phone would be a much easier sell.
Can’t imagine using a chip that’s deemed ‘lacking’ now is going to feel any better 4 years down the line.
IIRC this used to be a thing on older versions of Android (Ice Cream Sandwich, etc.) but they restricted it to media only in later versions for security reasons.

It’s a shame because out of all the WearOS watches available the TicWatches seem to be the best bang for buck (personally a massive fan of the dual screen thing), but they just don’t support their products.
Was looking for my first ‘proper’ smartwatch and was considering whatever the newest TicWatch, but was put off from Reddit comments and YouTube comments saying that they hope Mobvoi support this watch better than the last ones.
I was lucky, someone else who doesn’t land on the same pages and see the same things I did might not be, and will be suckered into buying something that will be a paperweight in a couple of years (tops).
