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 three 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 de la 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 and some first-party apps simply prefer edge
Because microsoft believes in an 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 there is a solution
Lie if you reset your pc and change your region you'll get access to Windows but good Windows pero bueno
Apple surprised announced that they'll be adding rcs support to iphone's next year. This is so sick
Soon videos texted between iphone's and androids won't look like they made a stopover in the year 1995
I mean just a year ago tim kook said buy your mom an iphone
And now he's saying you're right barbara. You can have whatever phone you want. Let's get out of here grab a burger
This is likely also in response to the e use digital markets act which requires companies like apple to be more interoperable
And while tim kook hasn't given up the war against the dma
This is one battle where he seems to have surrendered google after spending
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 is adopting does not include end-to-end 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 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 iphone
