I love Google Messages, but I think it has room to grow. Here are five features it should steal from Apple and Samsung.

 

Following adding the functionality for new app installs earlier this year, the Google Play Store is once rolling out support...

 

The YouTube mobile app now supports sharing video timestamps automatically, sparing users the need to manually edit links.

 

The implications could be significantly worse, actually.

 

Attacker then emulates the card and makes withdrawals or payments from victim's account.

Just like, pre-installed Edge and Onedrive, completely opt in and one day a windows update (automatically) reboots your pc and you just got opted in.

Had the same idea, but it won't work:

  1. There's a 15 min edit window from the time message was sent.
  2. Edited message tag is visible

On the flip side, they can read your group chat messages. Many(me included) will prefer that it isn't a possibility.

Ok, made an account(used a temp email). Nothing exquisite, just being able to switch between light and dark mode. I expected an option to set the toggle to follow device default after making an account and signing in.

Doesn't even remember which mode was toggled during the previous sign in.

I just want them to follow system default for guest user(s).

they probably require an account because they have a system set up in a way where it's mostly a server-side app and ui settings are only stored on the server

This makes more sense for signed in user(s).

No dark mode unless you register, is what I consider to be a asshole design choice.

Sorry I didn't mean any negatively towards you there.

I took your previous comment to be a critic of Dexerto.Not towards me. No apology needed.

Thanks for warning me about their quality, its now on my blocklist too.

Not a regular visitor, so can't say anything about there content.There was a discussion in the piracy community about the article, so went there to read it: https://www.dexerto.com/tv-movies/godzilla-minus-one-most-pirated-movie-2696285/

Ars dark mode switching is infuriating, not an asshole design choice like Dexerto here

Be me,

  • Click on an article link in rss feed.Open in browser(in dark mode)

  • Ars technica doesn't change its theme.

  • Open the menu to switch theme, click on dark mode.

  • Goes to the homepage in dark mode.

  • Go back to rss reader click that link again.

Probably a ban evasion measure linked to your IP. Try changing your IP address and then comment, might work.

People on metered connection and low connectivity areas are probably going to more inconvenienced by this force update banner. Unable to use your message app because you forgot to update and now cannot connect to the internet.
