RCS was a dumpster fire for years. Only in the past couple of years has Google stepped up to be the centralized force in making it work as envisioned.

quick edit to say I agree this could’ve been avoided if Apple had made iMessage for Android, but I just wanted to point out the blame is shared by poor implementation across the board.

Indeed, the article was written with Backblaze B2 as the S3-compatible storage used.

The manufacturer can save money by not including grills and if the speaker gets damaged they will make more money when you buy a replacement speaker.

Do I need to wear some sort of special technical fabric fanny pack? I don’t want to inhibit the progress of the pioneers.

If I may ask as an edc lurker, I love the idea of edc, but how do you carry so many useful gadgets? If I put stuff in my phone pocket then it scratches up my phone. If I put stuff in my key/wallet pocket then it unlocks my car randomly. I would carry my lathe in my pocket if it was feasible.

Requires an iPhone 15 Pro or an iPad

Some sort of chemical reaction. My best guess would be a drop of CA glue that degraded the material over time.

Glad you bounced back. Fargo S5 was my favorite story since S1. John Hamm was fantastic.

Not a lawyer, but there are lots of intricacies to this. You can own a trademark without having it be a registered trademark. Registration is expensive and then you are expected to actively defend use of your trademark. Be prepared to pay lawyers to send cease-and-desist letters to parties using your trademark for financial profit. Not to mention you have to be/become a business engaging in interstate commerce using this trademark.

dedsec doesn’t appear to be a registered trademark in the US at this time.

The instructions for my smoke detector recommend spraying the openings with compressed air regularly.
