While Google should open source it, it's important to note that Google never actually wanted to run or implement RCS. It was supposed to be the carriers, but they never did and even Google spent years pushing them to get off their ass and they still didn't. It was years before Google finally went "Fine, I'll just fucking do it myself"

Shoeshiners are for "nice" shoes that use primarily "hard" materials for the outer layer that can be, well, shined. They don't typically take care of the inner parts where more standard fabrics are nor do they do sneakers.

Sneakers you can toss in the washer and call it a day

Yet another Linux phone with subpar specs. That processor is quite underwhelming even compared to Google's Tensor G1, a proc that many regard as crap as is and it beats this Dimensity 900 handily.

Confirmed, Domino's is a sith company!

I think he was meaning more "run them out of town" and less "vote them out of office"

So anyways, I'm bringing the popcorn, who was supposed to bring the drinks?

Like, how do you even screw this up? Sony...the ones who have access to all the super secret technical documents, full source codes, CAD drawings, prototypes, probably even people still working there who worked on it originally etc. Things that many who work on the open source emulators can only dream of seeing.

Made a shit emulator.

Nowadays, they are boring.

Fr, the foldy phones have been the biggest good innovation in like a decade. Unfortunately, now I'm stuck, I've had a taste and I can't go back now. It's like moving up to multiple monitors and then trying to go back to a single monitor setup after awhile

main competative advantage is just breaking the law

If you're talking employment law, then yea for sure

If you're taking laws like those that cap taxis licenses arbitrarily that the Taxi industry pushed for so that bigger companies could buy them all up and establish a monopoly, then I can look the other way on those

That's a ride hailing app, it's just another Uber/Lyft. It's not a taxi.

Fuck Taxis and Uber

An entire industry that's playing the victim. Stop falling for it and stop romanticizing taxis, the shit they pulled was just as bad, if not worse than what Uber does.

Biggest difference is their drivers were complicit in the shenanigans and primarily targeted their customers. Taking LONG routes because their customer "wasn't local", saying a route will "probably be 10$" and then it's 50 and "the meter says what it says man".

They literally used strict regulations as a shield to hold local monopolies for decades which resulted in terrible downright scammy service, cash only for an unacceptable amount of time, 0 innovations, dirty ancient barely running cars, a dispatch who would constantly say a car "was just around the corner" for 2 hours

The taxi industry doesn't give a fuck about you, they're just mad because they didn't think to do what Uber is doing and now they're dying. When/If Uber/Lyft dies, I guarantee the Taxi industry will resurge for the worst and take pages out of Ubers playbook. It's just going to go back to the wait it was before.

Fuck Uber AND Taxis, they both can rot in hell, but I don't mind seeing taxis get there first.

What mythical app does your local taxis have.

Every single taxi "app" I've ever used have been shit. Just last year I tried one out, and the best it did (besides looking like it walked straight outta 2013 UI's in 2023) was give me an "estimated price range" which again left too much room for the cabbie to fuck with the meter/routes.

Hi everyone, looking for some NVR software to run a bunch of Cisco 6630 cameras I picked up (I know I know, but at <20$/camera....)

I looked at a few like ZoneMinder and Frigate but they all seem to only support basic HTTP auth and I spent a lot of time and effort getting Authentik working nice and smooth and dammit I want to use it for everything I can lol

Just "classic" LDAP is fine too, at least it's still using some part of my central authentication infra lmao
