    I get not defending the use of DVD over Blu-Ray at this point, but the downsides of streaming and digital “ownership” have been a sizeable portion of tech news for a while.

    And honestly? US/Canada using the standardized protocol and Europe using the walled garden developed by an eviler-than-normal corporation sounds kinda backwards from the cultural differences between US and Europe we usually hear.

      iMessage is the same though… It only falls back to sms when required (like everything else) and people hate it when it does.

        RCS has with all the major reasons that iMessage became preferred, and Apple is adding RCS support to iOS. It’ll take some time, but I do think there’ll be a cultural shift.
