You know, one of the most interesting criticisms I heard of #KDramas this year was that it's becoming too "Westernised". (This was in some forums I've been in.) TBH, I didn't understand what they mean, but when I watched #TheVigilante, I got an inkling. It felt unnecessarily violent, gory & had little heart. It was well-executed but I just didn't feel moved by the main lead's murderous motivations.
Don't know, something feels off with Kdramas lately but I can't put my finger on it.
Thanks to @jillithd@whoosh@kdrama I'm going to try this. End of the Year Drama Challenge Day 1: Since when have you been watching dramas? I joined a Discord watchparty group 2023/04/15, started slowly with 1-2 episodes week of It's Okay to Not Be Okay. After I returned from a road trip in late June, I started watched more and more shows as well as taking Duolingo #hangeul lessons. Now, #kdrama is a major, full-time obsession and my Korean listening comprehension is growing exponentially.
I've not been able to find much info about how the RCS standard works and whether it's end-to-end encryption; Apple seems to think that its encryption needs to be improved to bring it up to iMessage's encryption standard.
Google's support for older devices makes Apple's look like the Linux kernel (that is only recently dropping ISA and took until 2012 to drop the 386 processor). My four year old Pixel no longer receives security updates even though Android 13 still does. WTH? Meanwhile a iPhone 11 that I had at the same time can still get the latest iOS. What's more the security updates for previous iOS versions supports devices going back to 2015. Google doesn't even have the excuse about OEMs etc. This is their phone, bought to run on their cellular bundled service (Google Fi), purchased through them. It is 100% vertically integrated. The only word that comes to mind to me is "pathetic". #rant#Android#Apple#CyberSecurity#AppleVsGoogle9to5google.com/2023/02/06/pixe…
