Digital Rights Management. Usually DRM agreements are imbedded in the terms and conditions no one reads when they install software. It usually gives the software vendor the right to monitor your use of the software in real time via the internet.

Within the context of Chrome and other Chromium based web browsers, this means that Google will be able to monitor your web browsing in a new way any time you’re using a browser based on Chrome/Chromium.

Thanks for answering. Sounds like in this case Android would work for you, if you were comfortable using Signal or showing up as a green dot on your family’s iPhones. Not that I am recommending you change or anything.

I just wish* Apple would be more willing to integrate with standardized technologies, like MMS and USB-C. I get that they want to develop as much as possible inside the house, but some things are just inconvenient for their users when they have such a hardline stance.

This makes me legitimately curious. If you’re having this limitation on iPhone, would you consider switching to Android, as the standard MMS protocol supported by Android (and every non Apple vendor) works on wifi/data just fine? iPhone not integrating iMessage with the MMS standard is what causes the issue here.

It’s not the same as aged steak. OP’s post is simply about patting your meat dry with a paper towel or similar prior to cooking.
