Lol so he had to get an iPhone for family chat, then I’ll bet still had to install WhatsApp for all his friend’s group chats.

The strangest thing was when I learned that American teenagers bully the ones who have Android because they mess up with the iMessage chats. So weird.

FTFY. In the rest of the world no one uses either SMS or iMessage.

Lol I really doubt that.

Yeah because them killing the cat is going to play sooo well for their reputation.

Sync is a one time payment for ad-free. It’s ultra that is subscription which has a load of bumph you don’t need and ad-free as well.

I got one this year and just can’t love it. It’s fine, but I definitely miss my pixel 5.

It’s just not big enough in the EU. Everyone uses WhatsApp. If Google wants to push a regulator to do this then they need to find one in a market where iMessage is actually used.

Couldn’t replace.

When I try adding a photo in messages I get a grid with a viewfinder (which is really cool and clever) and a few recent photos. Tapping folders brings up all the photos on my phone in chronological order. I can’t see though how to open Google photos from this screen to get non local photos.

Also in typical android I’ve never seen this set up on any other app.

That’s a pretty big if. I’ve seen sites with banners at the top that say something along the lines of, “by dismissing this banner or continuing to use the site you’re consenting to cookies”

UK is the same shit offer. £100 play credit

Oh absolutely. I just think that there’s a danger that people will think if the Tories are out of power all of these kinds of proposals will just disappear.

I want off Mr Gove’s wild ride.

Oh yeah, because authoritarianism doesn’t give large chunks of the labour party massive hard ons too.

If they’d had their way all our biometrics would be on a database and we’d have to have our id cards with us at all times.

It’s usually younger drivers (17-20) that would have it. It used to be so you could get your insurance cheaper, but companies being companies has meant that a lot won’t even insure younger drivers without it now, and charge double what they used to.

If the fine was 4% of global revenue every month, sure

Lol oh yeah, good point.

The profit they’d need to make off EU users would need to increase by over $4.66 billion to make a 4% fine on of global revenue.

Even if every single person in the EU (including babies and anyone who doesn’t have a meta account) took up the paid tier it wouldn’t offset a 4% fine on global revenue. They’d need it make $10 profit extra per person per month. Their price is €10 (just over 10 USD) a month. Subtract from that 20% tax and another let’s say 5% for card handling fees and their general costs gives them €7.50. The you need to subtract from that what they were making off users before as we’re looking at increase.

GDPR caps out at 4% of global turnover. Which is still a monumental amount of money.

It’s just about usability. Top of phones are hard to reach nowadays, so the more UI elements that are towards the bottom the better!

Why?

It’s because it’s the data protection act which is the UK implementation of GDPR.
