we'll wait for you Microsoft is changing Windows so that it complies with the
digital markets acts and many of those changes sound like things users have
only wanted for years starting in a release preview for Windows 11 before
expanding to Windows 10 all apps and Windows can be uninstalled this will now
include camera photos and even Cortana the app that's been dead for 3 months
you can even uninstall Microsoft Edge as long as you're in certain European
countries those countries can also set Windows search and widgets to use
non-edge browsers and choose if they want their Microsoft account to sync
data across products and devices something I can't believe wasn't already
possible but the creme Dela creme is that Windows will respect app defaults
in Europe which also includes the default chosen by the app you see apps
choose how to open content on Windows Windows and some first party apps simply
prefer Edge because Microsoft believes in a app's right to choose to send you
to a shitty browser if all these changes make you sad you don't live in Europe

Millions on ads to convince Apple that all the cool kids are doing RCS couldn't
be happier stating they look forward to working with apple to help them
implement the messaging protocol of course Apple insists iMessage is more
private than RCS and that may be true at least for iPhone users the RCs standard
the company's adopting does not include endtoend encryption that's something
Google adds to their messages app capital M messages and because of
Google's deals with phone carriers iPhone RCS messages May travel through
Google's servers even worse the green bubble it's not
going away the only blue for Android users is the sadness they feel when they
can't get a date for prom sorry Timmy buy your son an
