Forced by EU! Thanks again, EU.

Thanks EU for chat control 😁

That didn't pass as far as I am aware.

No but they should have not this idea

It was not an EU thing, it was a China thing.

It’s quite obvious as well looking back at it; if course China will mandate one of the weakest protocol with no end to end encryption.

Avoid RCS like the plague and use something more secure!

I was talking about usb-c, and I don't care about RCS, but it is still better in everyway than SMS.

I hate the timing of that EU decision, because we’ll never know if Apple did the switch because of it, or because 10 years had passed since they promised 10 years of Lightning anyway.

Someone doesn't read articles

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

You aren’t wrong, I just read the headline and the comments. However, my comment isn’t about anything in this article.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

Oh yeah i know, I'm talking about articles in general. When the EU gave Apple the command to either comply or pack up, they initially expressed disdain before eventually succumbing.

I cannot find anything related to "the promised 10 years of lightening". Do you min providing a source?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

Might not be true, I read it back when they first announced USB-C, and I can’t find anything about it right now.
