I don’t understand why you need a MacBook to google — a Chromebook, or any laptop/desktop, runs browsers... and when you give up an iPhone, you have to go all the way to the Nokia? If you started off with Android, I think you’ll have a much easier time. Android, at least, is open-source; there are custom ROMs for most…

Yeah, it felt really uneven compared to her efforts to cut out MS and Google. 

I’ve generally enjoyed this series, but this one is ridiculous. Apple should be the easiest tech giant to cut out your life, since it has the smallest ownership of the internet backbone. There’s no reason to dive into Linux, when a Windows laptop is the most obvious non-Apple alternative. Why would you choose to go…

While I understand not wanting to buy an Android phone only to abandon it couple weeks later, not doing so makes this less of an apples-to-apples experiment, wouldn’t you say?

Awful... you cut Google and MS to start with, then when you cut Apple everything is suddenly a problem. Of course, it is, because you’re unfairly cutting not-only Apple, but MS and Google as well. Everyone knows we have a duopoly (or triopoly in this example)... so it’s to be expected that cutting out all 3 would be…

Nearly every single complaint on this list could be solved by basic technical competency or the foresight to understand her professional and personal needs. The writer failed to take the basic precautionary step of signing out of iMessage, something that dozens of tech blogs counsel those who switch away from Apple do …

Because the people at Gizmodo arent actualy tech nerds that like to learn about new things, they are people like that electronic gadgets and whatever the latest and greatest tech thing is.

And this is why we don’t give one company total authority over your computing life, kids.

Not to mention how much data bandwidth is being wasted.

About once a week in some embarrassingly-public scenario I will flip out trying to swat the spider on the back of my neck only to immediately realize it was the tag on my shirt or jacket or whatever. I'm not proud. 

If it’s the sixth year of the Kitten Bowl, shouldn’t the Roman numeral be VI (6), not IV (4)?

Not the “O face” that I planned on showing her...

No standout features?

why is something that wanted to gain international attention (and did) selling us something that is only available in one country?

A ministry representative requested all customers to please gather round and look directly at the “key fob”, later explaining that the whole thing was caused by swamp gas

Actually, Telegram supports playing back voice messages at two times speed; something not offered by WhatsApp. It also supports multiple devices; something not supported by WhatsApp. It has standalone apps for Windows; something not supported by WhatsApp. It supports autoplay of next voice message; something not…

Ok, that’s the weird part, because at least in Europe SMS is outdated, almost deprecated: no one uses it, just government bodies to notify you about taxes, appointments, etc. But people? No one, really. So no support for SMS is not a thing here.

its not owned by google, apple of facebook and its not even based in the us so serving papers wont get you knowere

I’d say telegram i considerably better than all those mentioned in this article including iMessage.
