for 8k sure

4k60fps is consumer now, at least on an iphone and go pro

the 6p and pixel can both shoot 4k, despite this i have never felt the need to shoot a cell phone video, edit it, color correct it, and render it as 4k. if im doing 4k video thats getting farmed out to a pro who has some kind of giant NAS in their edit bay or whatever to work with that kind of poo poo.

your insane checklist feature post reads like the most broke-brained IYG style post possible. You've hoisted your own petard, dude.

forums poster duTrieux sits in a cluttered literary office, books and loosely collated drafts cover his desk. he holds up a musty tome of ancient text, opens it to a dog eared page and points to some incomprehensible, archaic phrase "see look at this, this is the 1700s version of the modern day colloquialism "gently caress me hard with a broomstick." it's fascinating, to watch language evolve. it's living, breathing, just like Mr. Fluffelboots, here. Isn't that right? Boots?"

my spare phone is the perfectly functional iPhone 5 I upgraded from 4 years ago. it sits in one of my spare bedrooms plugged into the wall.

Why do you need a spare phone? my Nexus 6P lasts all day, from the time I wake up, until the time I go to bed. It doesn't lag or bug and works perfectly. It's in perfect condition despite never using a case and living an active lifestyle. I have no need for a spare.

google RCS is what brought me back to this fetid forum in the first place.. and now.. here is an article on it.

someone please tell me what telecom exec needs to be get their guts replaced with dynamite and nitroglycerin to give all cell phones feature parity with aim (1997)

need to "send a message" lol.

Full Article on THE VERGE: https://www.theverge.com/2019/6/17/18681573/google-rcs-chat-android-texting-carriers-imessage-encryption

quote:

e�ve been hearing about RCS, the replacement for SMS texting, for over a year now, but actually using the next-generation service has been nearly impossible due to complicated carrier and phone maker politics. But now Google is taking over: later this month, Android users in the UK and France will be able to opt in to RCS Chat services provided directly by Google instead of waiting for their carrier to support it.

That seems like yet another minor status check-in on the service meant to replace SMS, but in fact it�s a huge shift in strategy: as Google rolls this offering out to more countries, it should eventually mean that RCS will become universally available for all Android users.

For the first time in years, Google will directly offer a better default texting experience to Android users instead of waiting for cellphone carriers to do it. It�s not quite the Google equivalent of an iMessage service for Android users, but it�s close. Not knowing when or if RCS Chat would be available for your phone was RCS�s second biggest problem, and Google is fixing it.[

RCS�s biggest problem is that messages are still not end-to-end encrypted. iMessage, WhatsApp, and Signal are secured in that way, and even Facebook has said it will make all its apps encrypted by default. Google�s chat solution is increasingly looking out of touch � even immoral.

blahblah

quote:

For most users, this is all you really need to know:

If you see the Chat prompt, click yes to enable RCS services from Google. Then if you see �Chat� in the app, you�re talking to somebody else who has RCS.
It�s encrypted in transit, but it�s not fully end-to-end encrypted, so your RCS provider can potentially see the contents of your messages, and turn them over to the government if properly asked. Google says it will delete them from its servers as soon as they�re delivered to your phone � more on this below.
It will work with any other phone that supports the RCS Universal Profile, regardless of whether Google or the carrier provides the service.
Finally, unless you�re in the UK or France, there�s no official timeline for when Google will flip the switch in your country.

quote:

That option isn�t available for RCS, because it uses a �federated model� where different carriers are in charge of the servers that deliver messages to their users. That makes it more complicated, but it�s important that whatever replaces SMS not be solely controlled by a single company.

Because it can�t rely on a central database, Android Messages sends a query directly to the other phone. Drew Rowny, product lead for Messages, tells me when you open a texting window in Android Messages, it pings everybody on that chat with an invisible message (sort of like a push notification) asking if they support RCS Chat, and Android Messages silently responds �Yes� if it does. Those messages are a �capability exchange,� and Rowny calls it a �point-driven� model, as opposed to Apple�s server-based system for iMessage.

Because the phone itself is responsible for telling others that it has Chat, it�s still tied to a phone number. It also means you won�t be able to have messages come in to multiple devices at once, like iMessage allows. You can still use a web interface by scanning a QR code with your phone, but it still depends on your phone for sending and receiving.

blah blah blah

quote:

he fact that Google is finally taking responsibility for fixing the RCS rollout is heartening. It took some gumption to face potential carrier ire and a greater chance of antitrust investigations. It�s going to take even more for the next step: end-to-end encryption.

Technically, there�s nothing in the RCS spec that would prevent building in end-to-end encryption. Google just has to get the GSMA to agree to a standard to add on to the Universal Profile (the spec that lets RCS services interoperate). That�s easier said than done, but again, it�s technically possible. It�s not just carriers, however: plenty of governments would be unhappy to see the default texting method on 75 percent of the world�s phones �go dark,� as the FBI likes to refer to it.

I can�t tell you if Google has the leverage � or the courage � to bring encryption to RCS. I can only tell you that it should.

it is a long article but its pretty good if you havent been Balls Deep in reading about RCS for the past year. it bring read receips and poo poo and sends your poo poo over data instead of the ghetto carrier piggyback horse poo poo sms has done since like the 80s or w/e.

will it work this time? will it suffer the fate of allo? only time will tell.

PERSONALLY, i was a google voice man from a long time ago and even used grand central before it. then i switched all my poo poo over the hangouts which owned but ppl who didnt have it u got the bad sms fallback. but it had good clients on all ur things. anyways google has been slowly deprecating hangouts and it got sick on my telephone and started lagging bad for some reason and not like sending messages for some reason sometimes which DOesnt Pass Muster. i switched to the android messages DEFAULT APP and its cool i guess but nobody i know can RCS with me..................... maybe they will in the future. Maybe they will.

Another Big Question is will Tim Cock in his genius galaxy brain allow for RCS interoperability with imessage? only time will tell...

it would be COnvenient if it was encryped also because using signal for my Crime Chats is cool but it would be cool if all my chats could also be crime chats. would be easier.

wanna flame me? feel free.

google clod prnt wrked pretty good but not great. if you could install like a desktop daemon on any platform and it would clod print to the printer you have added to your server it would epic and seemless. set the clod print watever as the default and let people send jobs to it. but then again printer drivers are so hosed up and bespoke with 1000000 different settings idk. printing is just a loving nightmare. cloud print loving OWNS for printering likr normal documents where the most advanced thing is like double sides and the binding edge. but you get into the stock weight and nonstandard sizes and poo poo and it's like so hosed up. let alone like advanced toner options and poo poo gently caress. gently caress printers and gently caress desktop printing. my decent canon printer in the printer optiosn with the proprietary drivers have 99999999999 pages of options and even as the office Printer Master i don't know the gently caress most of tat poo poo is
