  • The issue isnt really the color, it’s that all images and video are degraded in quality. That means android users are excluded from iphone group chats. This is a bug deal in America where iphones are incredibly popular.

    I think it’s fair to be excited that people are working on ways to bridge the divide. Especially when the technical aspects of the reverse engineering is pretty cool. Not to mention the proof of concept was originally made by a high school student!



  • I’ve certainly seen and heard of Google modifying results or puting punishments on users because they broach topics that violate their terms of service.

    I will absolutely agree that the rules of their ToS are heavily determined by the desires of advertisers and written laws.

    But just because they may restrict the content based off of advertiser’s wishes or because they are legally required to do so doesn’t mean that Google is in bed with the government and willing to do anything to prop up the government’s power so they can keep making money from them.

    That’s a really big and important jump you can’t just hand wave away just because a company as large as Google works with the government on some things. That’s just conspiracy theory and detracts from the very real, evidence based criticisms we can and should be focusing on.

    I’ve always been suspicious of these Chinese homage brands, but admittedly I know next to nothing about them. How does your watch wear from day to day? Is it comfortable? Does it feel good and sturdy? How long have you had it?


  • Thank you for linking the text. For anyone wondering, here is Ch. 2, Article 11 regarding portable battery replacement:

    Article 11 Removability and replaceability of portable batteries

    1. Portable batteries incorporated in appliances shall be readily removable and replaceable by the end-user or by independent operators during the lifetime of the appliance, if the batteries have a shorter lifetime than the appliance, or at the latest at the end of the lifetime of the appliance. A battery is readily replaceable where, after its removal from an appliance, it can be substituted by a similar battery, without affecting the functioning or the performance of that appliance.
    2. The obligations set out in paragraph 1 shall not apply where (a) continuity of power supply is necessary and a permanent connection between the appliance and the portable battery is required for safety, performance, medical or data integrity reasons; or (b) the functioning of the battery is only possible when the battery is integrated into the structure of the appliance.
    3. The Commission shall adopt guidance to facilitate harmonised application of the derogations set out in paragraph 2

  • If this was a way mods would actually protest, wouldn’t it make sense to say who is saying it? They removed all attribution, all indication of votes, or any example of a subreddit actually doing it. Maybe I’m jaded from my many years on reddit, but I always get suspicious when I see a post like this that it could be a fake post or something.

    With that said, if moderators actually did set their subs, like /r/aww to nsfw, that would be pretty funny.
