As a practical point, saying it in English will almost certainly communicate what you need to communicate. Almost everyone who makes international calls will recognize that you’re speaking English even if they don’t understand what you’re saying, which suggests that the Russian or Korean speaking person they’re trying to reach is not at that number.
We had several years of Android that mostly wasn’t. Now it’s hard work to get Android that isn’t.
The whole tech world saw Microsoft Palladium as a nightmare scenario, but was quiet ten years later when Apple and Google did the same thing to our phones. That was a mistake.
I haven’t been following the RCS story closely. My impression is it’s a standard core on which each provider can tack on nonstandard extensions, and somehow carriers are involved even though it’s internet-based. It sounds like people who won’t adopt third-party internet messaging apps are going to continue to have a bad time.
So many people asking me to have my wife do something different on her end. Beloved, she is on iPhone because she doesn’t want to do anything “weird.”
Assuming using a third-party messaging app is “weird”, then she can’t send you video with acceptable quality. That’s how it is.
She can’t fix that. You can’t fix that. None of the readers here can fix that unless they work at Apple. This may improve in the future when Apple adopts RCS, but there’s a lot that real-world implementations of RCS do that isn’t in the standard, so the full details of interoperability are uncertain until we see it in the wild.
Now, why can’t I get iMessage on my android phone?
Because Apple doesn’t want you to. Apple wants situations like this one to pressure people to buy iPhones because that’s apparently easier for some people than agreeing on a messaging app.
I’d hope that’s not terribly hard when the people in question are married to each other.
RCS from what I can tell still has some significant limitations, like the version common on Android having some Google proprietary extensions it’s not clear if other vendors will fully support. I’d still recommend something like Signal to most people, though RCS improves the experience for those not using that.
SMS/MMS has really low file size limits, and iPhones may downscale a little more aggressively than required.
Just pick an internet based messaging service. I like Signal, but they all work.
I suspect bad faith any time a company doesn’t do it the Pixel way (dev settings and fastboot unlock).
HMD also doesn’t provide any mechanism for unlocking the bootloader
This is the part that’s inexcusable.
I’m pretty satisfied with my 4a. Are there any downgrades between the two generations?
Is it? Android already disables sideloading by default, requires each source to ask for permission, and prompts the user before each install. How does Samsung’s additional setting improve security?
There seems to be a lot of misunderstanding about how federated services work. Everything you do on Lemmy is broadcast to the world. Anybody who wants to can follow/subscribe to any account or community on Lemmy and the server hosting that account or community will send every post and every comment to the subscriber’s server as soon as it’s posted.
The software they’re running doesn’t have to be Lemmy and doesn’t need to be very visible to end users. Admins who are looking for that kind of behavior might notice if the data harvester wasn’t trying to hide their activity, but even a modicum of effort would be sufficient to go unnoticed. They’d just look like any other self-hosted or single-user server running Mastodon, Pleroma, Misskey, etc…
It is not, and it’s also unlikely to work based on my recent test.
First of all, I hope you have root. File recovery requires direct access to storage, and that’s not possible without root. Unlocking the bootloader to gain root erases encryption keys, which will make previously deleted files unrecoverable.
I’m a little surprised a quick web search doesn’t find an Android port of PhotoRec.
I just tested DiskDigger on a device running LineageOS 20 (Android 13), and it did not find any recoverable files with a full storage scan even though I deleted several jpegs immediately before running it. The non-root deleted photos scan did find some images, but that won’t help you with audio files.
I like Arch, but a first-time install of Arch for a beginner who doesn’t have a lot of patience for reading documentation and troubleshooting is not good advice.
Emacs has several templating/snippet packages available, such as YASnippet.
I mainly use Kwrite and Kate
Since 2014, but Android had already been out for six years at that point.
