you can't see the tech news directly but don't worry it sees you through the
walls google is once again trying to convince apple to adopt support for rich
chat services or rcs a term that only Android people know they're using good
old-fashioned public shaming to do it rcs would allow Android and iOS users to
send messages using most of the features found in imessage which apple staunchly
refuses to bring to Android you you're a green bubble google's argument therefore
is that it's on apple to fix texting which they are now proclaiming with a
whole website dedicated to calling out cupertino and tweets with the hashtag
get the message yeah no google they get the message
that's not the problem they want the experience of being an Android user in a
group chat to suck this is like trying to explain to the opposing basketball
team that if you work together you could make more baskets come on guys it's
unlikely apple is going to listen to or be affected in any way by google's
whining anytime soon i mean they've been pretty busy working on adding the
battery percentage back into iOS they forge their own paths they're
making things better for us they listen to apple users samsung unpacked some new
phones smart watches and earbuds at an event this morning but if you are hoping
for devices of the ridgid variety buddy
you can flip the flip off flipper
flip your mother the galaxy z fold 4 comes with upgraded cameras better
durability multitasking improvements and wider displays so it actually looks like
a phone when it's folded up and not a car gps from 2006. design changes on the
z flip 4 are less noticeable with a slimmer hinge and a straighter edge it
does have the new snapdragon 8 plus gen 1 a larger battery and faster 25 watt
charging but none of that probably matters to the bubble gum punk cotton
candy people that they're marketing to samsung also announced the galaxy watch
5 and watch 5 pro confirming design leaks from last month with new infrared
temperature sensors longer battery life and better durability the pro is bigger
and more rugged like me lastly the galaxy buds 2 pro have
improved anc a sleeker design and support for hi-fi 24-bit audio using
what else a proprietary samsung codec that will only work on select galaxy
devices but the best part they come in purple
that'll play great on tick tock that's an unusual color
burple that's a little bit of a blue tinge and u.s president joe biden has
officially signed the chips and science act promising 52.7 billion dollars in
funding over the next 10 years for semiconductor production after much
ballyhooing from some industry players worried that Intel would get too much of
it you guys are worried about pat he's a great guy give him some money let the
good guys win it's hoped that the package will allow the us to compete
with china who are investing big time in their own ship making capability but the
act also sets aside 200 billion for scientific research so even if china
ends up winning on the processor front the us still has a chance to beat them
to building the first dinosaur theme park science can do it
we'll do it good this time not like the movie now it's time for the quick bits

after all this game copied 7 kimi has

lg has taken a page of sony's book specifically one about building tvs that
vibrate the display to produce audio instead of dedicated speakers but unlike
sony's vibrating models lg says their 97-inch OLED ex tv can produce 5.1
channel sound for a cinematic level of immersion
it's a bold claim and probably only partially true but i would have said the
same thing a few years ago if you told me my tv panel would directly be giving
me good vibrations science is amazing
