Heads up: Users are reporting that the Google Messages app won't let them send or receive RCS messages if the OS is rooted or hasn't passed GMS certification (like most custom ROMs). It seems that Google Messages has implemented Play Integrity API attestation checks, so be aware if you...

I said it once and I'm saying it again, Google is slowly taking away every good reason why most enthusiasts chose Android. If this continues there will be very few reasons to not switch to IOS.

Anyone with a rooted phone and custom ROM should know how to pass play integrity attestation

the absolute circus, there's no reason for them to do this (except stopping users from actually owning their devices 🤡)

I don't understand, this platform is lacking users, there are basic Android functions that require root, for example sharing an internet with VPN activated and Google has such an attitude.What a disappointment!!

Gemini for Android is here! This new app makes it easier to access Google's chatbot, powered by the Gemini Pro LLM, right from your Android device. You can ask Gemini a question by tapping the launcher icon or long-pressing the power button. Once invoked, the Gemini overlay lets you enter a text or text+image prompt. You can tap the camera icon to snap a photo or press the "add this screen" button to take a screenshot of the current page to include in your prompt. The Gemini app for Android is available on Google Play with support for English, but support for Korean and Japanese will be coming next week. While there won't be an app for iOS, iPhone users can access Gemini by opening the Google App and tapping the "Gemini" button up top. How can you long-press the power button to invoke Gemini if that gesture is handled by Google Assistant? The answer is that the Gemini Android app can replace Google Assistant as your default assistant if you want, meaning all the ways you'd normally invoke Google Assistant on your phone can instead invoke Gemini. Unfortunately, Gemini currently doesn't offer ALL the same functionality as Google Assistant and requires an active data connection, but more features will be added over time. There's also now a Gemini Advanced tier, which offers access to Google's most powerful Ultra 1.0 LLM. Access to Gemini Advanced requires a subscription to the new $20/month "AI Premium" Google One plan, which offers the same benefits as the 2TB plan but adds access to Gemini Advanced and soon Gemini features in Gmail, Docs, & other Workspace apps (formerly under the Duet AI umbrella). Gemini Advanced is available in English on the web.

WOW 🚨 Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass now claiming her messages from the Pacific Palisades fire DON’T EXIST Spencer Pratt “Why did Karen Bass violate the law and delete her text messages from January 7th — This is diabolical” “The Los Angeles Times asked Mayor Karen Bass to produce her text messages from January 7th and 8th, the days the Palisades fire tore through LA while the mayor was in Africa. The mayor's office told the LA Times no responsive records exist. Why? Because the mayor's phone auto-deletes text messages after 30 days, but here's the thing, the LA Times made the request on January 10th, only 3 days after the messages were sent. That means the mayor's office either purposefully deleted the messages or allowed the messages to auto-delete knowing that there was pending records requests. This is diabolical. Those texts were sent during a major emergency while the mayor was out of the country and now they're gone. Now, if you did everything right, you'd probably say maybe I should save those messages. But if you have something to hide or cover up, you probably be going let those messages vanish like Karen Bass did. The city attorney claims the text messages are just fleeting thoughts, that's a quote, that do not need to be saved. But it's 2025, we all know business gets done over texts and California law requires all writings related to public business, including texts, be preserved. In fact, LA's own administrative code requires such writings to be preserved for 2 years. So why the heck is Mayor Karen Bass' phone set to auto-delete after 30 days? This isn't just carelessness or sloppy or negligent, they're destroying evidence. Deleting records after you know they've been requested and a litigation is for sure imminent, that is willful misconduct and it should pierce whatever immunity Mayor Karen Bass in her personal capacity. Karen Bass should be held personally responsible for choosing to protect herself while failing to protect the city.”

Google has a Gemini Problem, and Chamath has a plan to fix it 📈 On E225, the besties discussed how Google can cut ChatGPT's lead over Gemini without killing its $200B/year search ads business. David Sacks: "I think the problem that Google has with respect to ChatGPT, is Gemini is not getting the usage, and ChatGPT is just growing like crazy." "If you look at how these models perform according to the benchmarks, Gemini is actually really good, but they have not caught up on the usage side." david friedberg: "Chamath, you're the CEO of Google, you've got a $200B run rate search ad business." "What's the right integration of Gemini such that you don't massively disrupt the search ad business overnight?" "Or do you not care and you're just gonna do it? I think that's the conundrum (Google) is dealing with." Chamath Palihapitiya: " The more difficult question is, what does the integration look like?" "They're already inserting Gemini in all kinds of uncomfortable ways." "So for example, if you use Gmail, or if you use Google Workspace, what happens today is all these random Gemini pop-ups come up all over the place." "That is an implementation that happened at way too junior a level by people that have no product taste." "And if you use the products every day, it would be hard for you to disagree with me." David Sacks: " The Google homepage, would you replace that with an AI chatbot?" Chamath Palihapitiya: " No. Here's what I would do: I would first go to the critical other points that are around, that today do not cannibalize the blue links." "If you look at the traffic patterns, almost as a Sankey diagram, the real thing you should be looking at here is where are the entry points into Google that then result in a clickable link." "And what it would show you is that there are certain places that are highly de-optimized today for revenue generating events." "They happen as a byproduct, but they don't happen as the use case." "So in that example, you would put Gmail as a critical place, the Google one subscription, and there's like five or six other places." "That's where I would put Gemini as the front door and start to habituate 300 to 500 million people a week in using that." "I think then you can figure out over time how much money you can make from all of that, or how it directs derivative revenue, and figure out what to do with Google dot com last." "But my point is, the experience in Gmail should be done today." "The experience in YouTube should be done today." "The experience in Google one should be done today."
