...Beeper CEO Eric Migicovsky responded to TechCrunch’s inquiry about Beeper Mini’s status by pointing us to the X post acknowledging the outage, and providing more detail. Asked if possibly Apple found a way to cut off Beeper Mini’s ability to function, he replied, “Yes, all data indicates that.”

Unpopular opinion - sure, it's fair to point out the privileges that offsprings of Hollywood elites enjoy, but let's not pretend the term "nepo baby" is not a backhanded sound bite to demean this particular group and devalue them in some way.
Personally if I'm a Hollywood elite, I'd be less offended if my kid is called "privileged" rather than "nepo baby", but people choose the latter for this exact reason.
What size?
Galaxy Tab A series are budget tablets that can do the job. If you want more powerful and bigger you can go with the S7/8 FE series. S6 lite is another option but it's running out of Android updates.
PSA: this feature requires you to opt-in to sending the names of apps on your phone to the developer. You cannot enable the feature without agreeing to send this data.
But this article is in fact completely, irrevocably, tastelessly flat.
WhatsApp is E2EE but it is run by Meta, so YMMV.
This tells me Nothing really doesn't understand the human nature behind the whole "blue bubble / green bubble" deal - it's stupid, don't get me wrong, but it's about status and exclusivity.
Trying to "fake it" stinks of desperation and will just bring the user more ridicule. Just embrace the green bubble and move on.
I'm kinda surprised another company hasn't made something to legit compete with iMessage yet
WhatsApp, FB Messager, Telegram? RCS is also a legitimate competitor.
The blocker isn't the tech, it's Apple's control of the ecosystem and iMessage's integration to SMS on iOS / macOS. I'd imagine if Apple provides an option for user to "switch default SMS app" to a 3rd party one, there'd be no reason why any one of the above wouldn't see a huge uplift.
By the way, the iMessage domination thing only really applies to North America. Rest of the world lives and breathes WhatsApp, WeChat, FB Messager etc.
Saving is optional - you don't have to save a photo to be able to browse it. And yes, browsing it will take some storage space as well since the app has to download, cache and render the image somehow but that's true for any device and just the way it works.
if you upload one from phone+tablet+computer or some other combo of devices,
How and when does that even happen?
Google Files app has a feature to identify and delete duplicates from the same device. Very handy.
Return of Obra Dinn. Such an incredible experience.
The tech is pretty interesting but the business is sus...It's kind of like selling fake admissions to a club and calling that a startup.
