RCS (Rich Communication Services) will bring a number of iMessage-style features to texts between Android and iPhone users. This includes things such as read receipts, typing indicators, and higher-quality images and videos.
The one thing that won't be changing, however, is the color of the messaging bubbles.

Short primer.
RCS is something that Apple initial help fund the development of. As is usual, when a bunch of companies get to gather to create a protocol it gets bogged down my too many cooks in the kitchen. This was the case with USB 3 or USB C or whatever and why Apple developed lightning cables. It is shittier than iMessage and currently encryption only works by sending everything through Google servers lmao. It basically does everything iMessage does that normies need but came out much later and is bulkier and the roll out sucks because it is based on carrier and Google support and there's a laundry list that I don't care to type up and if you're still reading this what the frick is wrong with you.
Q & A
Why is bubble color important?
It helps us in the dating world know who is capable of making smart purchases as well as an idea on how much they will be able to contribute in the relationship. I don't mind paying for dinner but if she expects for me to provide her gum after she blows me sorry girl

Call me a chud, there's no way I believe this
About 2% of the total went to alcohol, cigarettes and drug expenses
Any homeless camp on the sidewalk with open drug use definitely has more than $15/mo spend on drugs, alchy, and cigs. Isn't a pack of cigs in the west coast like $10 for a single pack alone?
I think a lot of productive hardworking people's money has been spent on propaganda whose sole intention is to ensure that people equate homeless people to "mentally ill drug addicts" rather than, say, "private equity real estate buyup refugees"
Is private equity in the fentalnyl business and are we really back pedaling so hard we are going to ignore mental health issues and homelessness?

Rivian blames “fat finger” for infotainment-bricking software update
Some affected Rivian EVs may require physical servicing to fix the problem.
The more innovation-minded people in the auto industry have heralded the advent of the software-defined car. It's been spun as a big benefit for consumers, too—witness the excitement among Tesla owners when that company adds a new video game or childish noise to see why the rest of the industry joined the hype train. But sometimes there are downsides, as some Rivian owners are finding out this week.
The EV startup, which makes well-regarded pickup trucks and SUVs, as well as delivery vans for Amazon, pushed out a new over-the-air software update on Monday. But all is not well with 2023.42; the update stalls before it completes installing, taking out both infotainment and main instrument display screens.
Rivian VP of software engineering Wassym Bensaid explained the problem in a post on Rivian's subreddit:
Hi All,
We made an error with the 2023.42 OTA update - a fat finger where the wrong build with the wrong security certificates was sent out. We cancelled the campaign and we will restart it with the proper software that went through the different campaigns of beta testing.
Service will be contacting impacted customers and will go through the resolution options. That may require physical repair in some cases.
This is on us - we messed up. Thanks for your support and your patience as we go through this.
Update 1 (11/13, 10:45 PM PT): The issue impacts the infotainment system. In most cases, the rest of the vehicle systems are still operational. A vehicle reset or sleep cycle will not solve the issue. We are validating the best options to address the issue for the impacted vehicles. Our customer support team is prioritizing support for our customers related to this issue. Thank you.
Rivian is still working on a fix. And perhaps regretting this gif on its website:

In the last decade there has been a rise in bug bounty programs where people report bugs they find for money. Along with that though, comes beg bounties, usually 'bug' reports sent by third worlders (mostly from india) who report bugs, like minor misconfigurations in DMARC or a missing CSP which have no impact on sercurity, or just something as low effort as saying they can view the source code of your website...
A typical beg bounty email will look something like this

And all these low effort bug reports to website owners demanding money end up drowning out any which might be legitimate.
