I was hoping more people would use RCS but I guess SMS will probably be the old fax machine in the future.

Yet people say that city people are always in a rush.

Google One is the marketing people are probably referring to for privacy.

The pixel has the default function for DNS over HTTPS and their Google One offering has a VPN to “protect” your data. Both of those are sold as privacy measures.

I see a lot of responses here seem kinda out of touch with the actual functionality of the phone and what marketing pushes Google does.

Good point. Can’t win them all. If life was perfect then a simple communication could be used if need be. If only people didn’t wanna hit other people all the time or something.

I don’t get this. You slow down if you don’t want to hit people. You also have a set of eyes. Are people not able to go “person walking in front, let’s slow down and go behind them”. If it’s a wall of people, then of course you stop.

Both are still pretty terrible coffee compared to any cafe though.

So maybe a hot take, but being at a bar to not drink alcohol is not really that fun.

Your client hardware wouldn’t matter tho. State of the art or whatnot of a gaming rig would be fairly low. In sure most modern mobile phones create more DNS requests these days compared to a Windows machine and steam. It’s the configured software on the hosts that will dictate how much traffic your devices will get. A lot also cache by listening to the TTL. There will be some form of additional latency but your average Joe won’t probably notice.

For home use, they barely do much. At an enterprise level, then it’s another story.

Gotomeeting, WebEx, bluejeans.

I was using WebEx for the longest time and our company switched to zoom. I recall that it was only for price and that there was a lot of missing functions that our team was used to.
