Oooh this setup just got installed on a highway in my town, I've been wondering what it was since it was installed just past one of the vehicle counting strips they use

So are caves, yet humans can very easily cause damage to them accidentally, let alone deliberately

Apple announced RCS with a whimper when it should have been a bang in c/technology@lemmy.world

[–] tristan@aussie.zone 19 points 5 months ago

Samsung messages was using RCS since 2012... Years before Google messages adopted it.

There are others out there that use it but call it by different names like "advanced messaging", "SMS+" etc

Google was the first to add e2e encryption and push it hard though, but if you send a RCS message from Google messages to Samsungs messages app, it won't have e2e, and most likely will be the same with messaging Apple.

But given how much Apple have fought to make it hard (or at least inconvenient) to message between them, and shut down any apps that made messaging between Apple and Android better, this is a big step for Apple

It's been a while since I used my resin printer, but I had a similar problem at one point and it came down to the support connection to the print... No matter how many supports I put, it didn't change the outcome, but when I made the support thicker and made the connection point thicker, suddenly I had no more problems... It just meant a little extra post processing on some parts

Valve faces a £656 million lawsuit in the UK for 'overcharging 14 million PC gamers' in c/steam@lemmy.ml

I don't think people realise how generous steam is by allowing Devs to sell steam keys on other platforms and still handle all the distribution and updates and everything for a key they didn't get paid for, and all they ask is you give the same or better deal to customers who purchase direct through steam

Given that steam let's you sell keys on other platforms (like gog, gmg, etc) and activate them on steam, and have steam handle all the heavy work of file distribution and stuff, it makes sense that steam wouldn't want you to sell steam keys cheaper on other platforms and make them wear all the cost of distribution... Otherwise they'd get no sales and end up with all the expense

The only other choice would be to no longer allow you to get steam keys to sell on other platforms or even to give away for review purposes or things like that.
