Samsung zaczyna wygaszać swoją aplikację do SMS-ów
Jeśli korzystacie ze smartfonów z rodziny Galaxy, przygotujcie się na nadchodzące zmiany w codziennych nawykach.
Koreański gigant oficjalnie ogłosił proces wygaszania (End of Service) dla swojej wbudowanej aplikacji Samsung Messages. Na pierwszy ogień idzie rynek amerykański, co zwiastuje powolną, acz nieuniknioną przesiadkę na komunikator od Google.
Aplikacja Samsung Messages przez lata była domyślnym narzędziem do wysyłania wiadomości na smartfonach południowokoreańskiego producenta. Firma ogłosiła jednak w USA, że od lipca 2026 roku aplikacja zacznie znikać z nowo konfigurowanych urządzeń oraz sklepu Galaxy Store. Zmiana dotyczy wyłącznie użytkowników smartfonów z systemem Android 12 lub nowszym – posiadacze starszych modeli na razie nie odczują różnicy i zachowają pełen dostęp do programu.
Koreańczycy aktywnie popychają teraz swoich klientów w ramiona Google Messages. Użytkownicy z nowszym oprogramowaniem (od Androida 14) zauważą, że po zmianie domyślnej aplikacji ikonka Google (biała na niebieskim tle) automatycznie zastąpi stary program na pasku domowym smartfona. Zmiany dotkną także marginalnej już grupy posiadaczy starszych smartwatchy z systemem Tizen, które stracą możliwość wyświetlania pełnej historii konwersacji.
Dlaczego Samsung powoli rezygnuje ze swojego produktu? Google Messages oferuje obecnie nieporównywalnie więcej zintegrowanych nowości. Chodzi przede wszystkim o wsparcie dla standardu RCS (który stawia coraz pewniejsze kroki w łączeniu ekosystemów Androida i iOS), ulepszone filtry antyspamowe bazujące na sztucznej inteligencji, a także integrację z funkcjami asystenta Gemini. To pragmatyczny krok – zamiast rozwijać autorski, starzejący się komunikator, Samsung woli wesprzeć się na nowocześniejszym i rozwijanym globalnie systemie od Google.

A 0-click #exploit chain for the #Google #Pixel9
AI features have been added to phones that allow users to better search and understand messages. This increased 0-click attack surface, as efficient analysis often requires message media to be decoded before the message is opened by user. Incoming SMS and RCS audio received by #GoogleMessages are now automatically decoded with no user interaction. Result: audio decoders are now 0-click attack surface of most #Android phones

I am looking for a FOSS alternative to Google Messages.
The main feature I want to keep is "device pairing:" I should be able to link it to my computer and type out messages with a physical keyboard. This is important because I don't want to write a long message on my phone, and some people I communicate with are unable to use another messaging system that works on desktops out-of-the-box.
I've tried several SMS apps on F-Droid, but none of them seem to have this feature.
I do not need all the advanced features of RCS, nor do I need E2EE (because most of the people I use Google Messages to talk to are on iPhones).

Lilbits: Google Messages blocks RCS on rooted phones, HDMI Forum blocks AMD’s open source high-res/refresh rate drivers
Google has spent the last few years pushing RCS as the future of instant messaging, thanks to support for features that are missing from SMS such as typing notifications, read receipts, high-res photo sharing, and support for sending messages over WiFi as well as cellular networks.
But… many Google Messages users recently noticed that they could no longer […]https://liliputing.com/?p=167130

I closed out November with a flurry of published stories, some filed weeks ago. I like finishing strong in November, since that’s the last month that freelancers can reasonably expect to write something and get paid for it that year.
One of the posts published in the closing hours of last month but not listed below was an extra for Patreon readers: a Web Summit recap covering things that didn’t show up in stories for my other clients.
11/27/2023: What part of ‘get rid of my data’ don’t companies get?, Fast Company
I pitched this piece months ago, then took far more time than I expected to report it out and finally write the damn thing.
11/28/2023: The 3 best international tech innovations of 2023, Fast Company
I helped judge this competition for the second year in a row.
11/28/2023: The 4 next big things in robotics and automation for 2023, Fast Company
My second batch of “NBTT” value judgments covered this high-tech sector.
11/28/2023: The 5 next big things in space and telecom for 2023, Fast Company
Of course I was going to accept a story assignment from my editor that would let write about space.
11/28/2023: Researchers: Maybe the Internet Isn’t Making Us Miserable After All, PCMag
I wrote up a study questioning the widely-held belief that social media and the Internet in general are making everybody stressed, lonely and resentful.
11/29/2023: The Best Cell Phone Plans, Wirecutter
This minor update covered new high-end plans at T-Mobile and Verizon and updated readers about AT&T and Verizon’s C-band deployment, among other things.
11/30/2023: OpenAI At A Crossroads: Can AI Threaten Humanity?, Al Jazeera
I joined AJ’s The Take podcast, hosted by Malika Bilal, to disucss OpenAI’s recent calamities and the prospects for AI to live up to the hopes (or fears) of some of its bigger supporters.
11/30/2023: Ex-EVgo CEO: It Can Take 6 to 18 Months to Put a Charging Station Into Service, PCMag
Recently-retired EVgo CEO Cathy Zoi taught me a few things about the state of the EV-charging business in the panel hosted by Resources for the Future in D.C. that I watched from home via Zoom.
11/30/2023: Google Celebrates RCS Hitting the Billion-User Mark With Multiple Feature Drops, PCMag
I got advance copies of Google’s blog posts about RCS topping a billion users and the software feature drops the company staged to celebrate the occasion, then made sure to remind readers of Google’s most recent announcement of the total number of Android devices–more than 3 billion, announced in 2022, which suggests that most Android users have yet to benefit from this upgrade to SMS and MMS.
12/1/2023: Facebook Whistleblower: Want to Help Kids? Keep Them Off Social Media, PCMag
I bikeshared into D.C. to watch a different tech-policy panel, this one at the Brookings Institution and featuring Melanie Dawes, chief executive of the U.K. telecom regulator Ofcom, and Facebook whistleblower Frances Haugen.
Updated 12/11/2023 to add the Wirecutter guide that I had missed before.
