  • Not just that, but they are actively hostile and hypocritical about it. Every 1-3 months they prevent RCS from working on rooted phones or phones running alternate ROMs. The fact that they spent so much time complaining that Apple wouldn’t comply with the “open” standard while limiting users’ options on their own platform is very frustrating.




  • My employer does have a process for requesting software, but it’s a very large company and requires that it go through a whole vetting process and security audits before having it added to the approved software list. I’m already applying some pressure to have some more important software added and am trying not to burn up all the good will I may have 😅.

    I am actually able to connect to the VIA web app, but I don’t have any compatible devices currently. It’s very possible though that we may have some software or policy that will block it when I attempt to do so though (it’s not unusual to be able to connect to a website and do certain things only to have specific actions trigger some piece of our security suite). Knowing what the average user is like I can’t really fault them for it, but it is annoying.

    All that said, would you have a recommendation for the cheapest VIA pad on Aliexpress that I could buy to test with?






  • Their whole thing is to do this stuff with Linus. It’s a constant friendly back and forth. Linus will make fun of and trash Dbrand in videos they sponsor, while Dbrand makes fun of him. In a vacuum, this looks really weird/bad, but if you are familiar with the back and forth it very much comes across as two really good friends taking the piss and just having fun.

    There is basically no piece of content Dbrand isn’t willing to sponsor with LMG because they don’t give a fuck.
