The radios aren't even digital, or even FM. They are AM so multiple can talk at once. Such an entrenched technology that would take decades to replace across the planet. Buffering could reduce some cross talk, but at the expense of possibly dangerous delays.

Use Signal note to self and send it to yourself. Strips all metadata. Does resize larger images though.
Passable and stupid, just to work around their over-engineered walled garden full of overlapping security certificate messes. All controlled by Apple infrastructure.
Very far from genius.
Google is a sellout hypocrite of the highest order and has been for...15, 18 years?
If you read the alleged protection, Google's only blocks against 2G networks. The same of which many carriers allow, enable, or enforce blocking, and if not *#*#info#*#* let's you do it yourself.
Muskrat blows up 50 rockets for sport and puts air travel at risk for the lulz. SpaceX was initially interesting in that small vacuum of NASA activity, but nowhere in the same wheelhouse. All flash and no substance, like the rest of the tech bro industry.
Use 1984 rules, reverse everything they say, that is the actual goal.
Instead, all that money is being used to accelerate our doom. AI datacenters unnecessarily consuming power and drinking water in small towns everywhere. Many just dumping humidity into the air and letting that water literally blow away via lazy evaporative cooling. Most "normal" water consuming processes consume, treat, and return water to the downstream-traveling aquifer.
Now, couple that with an overall warming climate. When air is warmer, the more moisture the air can hold. So we end up with more water vapor in the air than normal. With the weirding factor of climate change, this means more water energy for more powerful and destructive storms the likes of which humanity has never seen. Which feeds back into more ice melting, oceans rising, permafrost melting, cycle, accelerate, cycle, accelerate.
Also, real curious to see how millions of warehouses belching humidity and heat into the air across the surface of the globe can affect the general weather patterns, but that sadly won't be known until after the damage is done.
And every fake-friendly long-winded response consumes more electricity and water than it should, while also being useless.
This is also why the AI datacenter race is so asinine. All the datacenters drinking all the water and power will end up being even more pointless wastes of resources in short order.
Obviously the tech bros are just doing the datacenter land-grab as a pissing match because they're bored billionaires that need to get a life, and love creating nonsense contests. It is just terrible that so many naive communities will be bilked out of resources (or made sick and die from the pollution) as a result.
They stopped coincidentally around the same time Google announced that no third party messaging apps would be allowed to use RCS.
Samsung phones include McAfee, oddly.
