Battery life, sure, but functionality, nah. Apple is all about appearances, and a black/white screen running at 1fps isn't a good appearance.

Honestly even I wouldn't want an e-ink watch when there are other watches out there that get good battery life and have so much more functionality. My OnePlus Watch 2 gets me a few days. I only charge it when I shower and basically never have to worry about battery even on my frequent weekend camping trips.

I'm very confused about your setup tbh. Can you get a data plan that doesn't come with a phone number for your phone? Is that what's going on?

I do believe I've heard that Google messages (and therefor RCS) doesn't support dual Sim, which is absolutely bullshit. It's currently the same as a closed standard with empty promises for being open.

Yeah. I used Textra for years, and was confused why it was taking so long to get RCS. Finally decided to look it up and learning that it wasn't an open protocol yet. It's frustrating.

I have switched to Google messages, and it's been nice to text people who don't know enough about messaging to use a different app. It's only nice because Google's Messaging app is so commonly the default though.

It needs to be open and available in all apps that support SMS.

Doesn't Tesla usually look at the logs for a situation like this, so we'll know shortly?

And the 2016 election (for many of us)

I'm a 20-30 something (26) and, generally, I think it's younger people who are starting to struggle with this (<21 maybe?). All of my classmates seemed to be OK at handling files. From what I saw in highschool and college it was more to do with computer hygiene than incapability.

If you're texting an iPhone user it'll make a difference

I straight up wouldn't buy it, but, if I did, I'd love it.

I could be wrong, as I'm no expert, but cloud flare's proxy limits file uploads to about 1GB. I had to disable it to upload larger videos to immich. For other services, probably decent advice.

Just wanna say thanks for posting something OC and interesting here. All of the other things I've seen have been shitty "memes" that should've stayed on Facebook.

I used the wrong lugs on the OEM winter wheels on my RSX. At first I didn't know any better (conical vs ball seat), but once the damage had been done I kept using them. The OEM wheels were already fairly rough when I bought the car. Oops, but at least I know better now, and at least I was doin' better than this guy.
