Oh my GOSH! I hate the Bucs, but that look would almost make me root for them. They look glorious!

As a musician, most scenes with characters "playing" an instrument are ridiculous. I mean, they do all this research for rolls, but they can't be bothered to figure how to put their mouth on the instrument and some basic things that make it look like they're really playing?

What I want is for all of the companies to, use a common (preferably open) standard for messaging as a default. I don’t give a shit which it is. Ideally they would all do so voluntarily because it’s the right thing to do for their users. Since Apple refuses to let anyone else use iMessage, RCS was created, and made available to be used, even by Apple.

So Apple came up with a great system that encourages people to stay in the ecosystem, and Google is mad about it. So Google comes up with an iMessage clone, and now they're pitching a fit that everybody won't jump onto their implementation. Which, while RCS is open, Google's implementation is not. "Apple is locking everyone into their system! Make them stop so we can get them locked into ours!"

But apparently Apple can’t be bothered to play nice with others no matter what because all they care about is squeezing every possible dollar they can out of their suckers, I mean users.

Wait... wait... you think Apple (or any other company for that matter) should do what's best for those that aren't they're customers?? So I'm going to say this again a little louder for the people in the back - Apple is under no obligation to modify the way their products work to promote the competition, which will lose them sales. And as an Apple stockholder, I'm beyond fine with that.

at which point Apple fanboys/girls start bitching because the text bubbles are 'the wrong color' which it's seriously the most ridiculous first-world problem I've ever heard of.

Wait….. isn’t this the whole point of the article? Samsung and Google are bitching because they don’t want to be green bubbles. Don’t make it out like this is all iPhone users. Google has had I can’t count how many substandard messaging apps, but now they’ve developed their own proprietary format and are crying for Apple to support it.

So let me get this straight, Google & Samsung want Apple to be forced to do something that will cost Apple sales and increase sales for their competitors. Good luck with that.

I have a cheap CarPlay unit mounted on the dash of my work vehicle that I drive all day during the week. It had a problem and quit working for half a day, and I didn't realize how much I use and depend on that thing until it wasn't working! (I was able to fix it when I got home that evening - just a plug issue.) It has been one of my best purchases, and I've got my money's worth out of it multiple times over.

The sad part is that, I think this is fake, but I’m not 100% sure. 🤷🏻‍♂️
