  • Inside or outside the US? That's the trick. In my experience, the US uses a lot of SMS but also usually have unlimited plans. Most other places don't use SMS, pay for it...but have cheaper and less capped data.

  • Don’t even get me started on the money and time taken to recruit, hire, and train new employees.

    For delivery drivers?

    Know how to drive? If not, next. Here's the pizza. Put it on a flat surface in the vehicle, don't throw or flip it. Use Google maps to get to the house. Hand it to the customer. Come back. Done.

  • I have like 5 years using Niagara and paying for it...

    If you would've paid for the lifetime, you only pay once and it's cheaper than annual once you hit 3+ years.

    Yearly subscription: $9.99/9.99€/₹120 a year Lifetime purchase: $29.99/29.99€/₹360 (once)

  • basically means "unable to serve". This includes dead, injured, captured, deserted etc.

    Ah, I didn't know that. I now envision it sometimes going like:
    "Poor Steve, a casualty of war."
    "What do you mean, he snuck back home and is watching TV in his mom's basement!"

  • I get that, but the person I replied to said "digital trespassing." In my mind, that's like physical trespassing in that they can't enter your house (or collect data) without your consent. But if the EULA has the consent backed in it, the user agrees...then it'll probably be legal.

  • Except the device is already in your home, and most people leave their account logged in. That's basically like you inviting someone into your house, they hang out in your spare bedroom...and they're still there. So no need to re-grant consent to a situation that hasn't changed. Unless you mean it auto-logs out (or you log out) and have to re-grant consent then? Most do require consent on logging in, and the average consumer would hate having to log in every time and would probably use weak passwords because of this.

    But, you can at least kick them out (revoke consent).

    I just don't see how a proper law/regulation would fix/restrict this, except to make certain personalization attempts (targeted ads) illegal.

  • Members of our community are excited to try out Beeper Mini, an "iMessage for Android" platform which actually works natively on your device, unlike Nothing's ill-fated cloud iMessage offering.

    Welp, that didn't last long.

  • You need to dream bigger. That should be the companies (Google, Apple, carriers, etc) working together and using a non-proprietary standard (an open RCS). Mini Beeper, to me, was just a proof of concept to show something akin to what Apple could do.

  • I can't answer in detail as I haven't used it in years. I'm sure "it just works" in the sense does it send SMS. However, if a bug crops up or a substantial change in Android happens, either breaking or limiting it...or worse, a security vulnerability is discovered, how long till it's fixed/patched?

    As a rule of thumb, I don't use applications/software that sees such infrequent updates due to mostly security concerns.

  • But Android is worst.

    Depends on what you're looking for...and what you mean by "Android." As in solely AOSP? Or any of the derivatives to include OEM ones? If done right, Android can be more secure than desktop OS, so it actually might be the best distro, depending on what you're looking for.
