  • AirPods work great on Android. Just make sure you have them configured how you want (like the touch and squeeze actions) because you can’t change them.

    An alternative to AirDrop is LocalSend, but it has a massive asterisk: you must be on the same WiFi network. But I think you can start a hotspot on your phone and connect your other device to that and it should work.

    Other than that, I’m not sure I’m qualified to answer for other stuff. In general I stick to cross platform apps and in general find continuity features more annoying than helpful.















  • You’re still using Google’s servers even if you’re on iPhone, though now Google shouldn’t be able to read your messages.

    It’s just that Apple didn’t want to support Google’s proprietary encryption protocol. So they worked to make end to end encryption part of the RCS standard, and now that it is, Apple is willing to support it.

    Edit: Small correction. It seem’s like RCS on iPhone does not always use Google servers. It’s just that US carriers have partnered with Google to provide their RCS support.


  • There are plenty of Windows on ARM laptiops available from major manufacturers, including Microsoft, Samsung, Acer, Asus, Dell, etc. Microsoft notably sells their ARM laptops for less than the Intel version; not sure about the other brands.

    The iGPUs obviously don’t compare to dedicated GPUs, even those that are a few generations old, but it has enough power for gaming in lighter games and even heavier games if you’re willing to turn the graphics to low and lower the resolution.

    Last I saw, there were a lot of game incompatibility issues, but I haven’t been paying attention since launch. But this thread is literally about Epic improving their support on ARM, albeit with a “they hate Linux!” spin on it.
