The sound is improved at both high and low frequencies more than what is technically considered neutral, but The effect is the light treble supported by a deep and deep bass base.Many similarly tuned headphones confuse the bass or make the treble so irregular that they become painful.But the 565C prevents penetrating, sizzling or blurry sounds. I would expect at this price, which is particularly evident in classical concert music or other live recorded music. ”

Earlier this week, we noticed how Rich Communication Services was enabled in the United States after a Carrier Services update. Google announced today that RCS is now fully available in Messages for Android in the United States.

Google’s communication products chief, Sanaz Ahari, announced this morning that “RCS is now available to all users in the United States since Monday.” He advised users to “update messages and support services”.

A little less than a month ago, the company revealed how RCS Chat is taking all Android users in the United States. As in the United Kingdom, France and Mexico, Google is “updating messages” directly instead of waiting for managers. This occurs before AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile and Verizon in the United States are preparing their own Inter-operator Messaging Initiative (CCMI). Scheduled for 2020, it will require a new application instead of the default Android client.

The SMS / MMS replacement allows you to write in real time at the end of the conversations and read the receipts, although both can be deactivated. There are also higher resolution photos and videos thanks to a cloud back-end, larger group conversations and corporate messages with airlines and stores. It works through Wi-Fi or data connections, with SMS / MMS that would otherwise be used as backup.

During the announcement last month, Google expected full availability by the end of the year and exceeded the goal with a few weeks remaining. After downloading or updating the latest version of Messaggi (currently 5.2) and back-end support services (32.0.283645144) from the Play Store, you will be asked to update to RCS. You can also visit Settings> Chat functions to configure and control.

Messages sent via SMS are called texts, with Google trying to encourage the adoption of the “chat” language for RCS. The application detects contacts with the new standard enabled and the conversation field will say “Chat messages” in this case. Otherwise, it will continue saying “SMS”.

Google concluded last month’s announcement by pointing out how “it will continue to work to bring [RCS] to all messages worldwide.”

I am an inveterate charlatan. I miss the days of AIM and Gchat; I regularly reread the fantastic essay n + 1 on the history and emergence of the chats. Then, when I saw Yap, a new chat application developed by Postlight, a digital product studio, I was immediately curious. When I started it, I immediately connected.

Yap is quite simple. It is a six-person chat room (“Why seven is annoying,” says the official blog), where every message you post deletes what you previously posted; You can only say one thing at a time.

There is a place where the room owner can insert a link to discuss it as an argument (such as a Twitch transmission). If you decide to make your Yap room public by sharing the link somewhere, other people can see what you are saying in real time.

Basically, there is no story; Actually, you should pay attention to what people write when they write it in real time. It’s weird, nowadays, since almost everything else (other than Signal, maybe and Snapchat) is asynchronous. You can enter at any time, which means you can recover. Not so in Yap. It’s about being present in the moment, whatever it is for you.

Yap was a wandering idea that one day I had for all the reasons one would expect, “says Paul Ford, co-founder and CEO of Postlight, in addition to DM. His original presentation to the Labs group of the study, which realized the product, was I was referring to the creation of a chat room to decide where to have lunch.

“That was my use case, but I was probably thinking it would have been nice not to have a lot of nonsense that would follow you in your records.”

And it is beautiful! It looks light and ephemeral in the old school way. Here, your story does not follow you, as happens anywhere else. Adam Pash, head of the Postlight Labs team, said Yap chat rooms die if nobody posts messages for a day and the messages disappear with them.

“When the room is gone, the messages leave. We never write any of the messages on the disk,” he tells The Verge. It is an application to chat together, depending on the tone, as in real life. (You can’t scroll through your friends’ conversations when you join them at the bar).

In addition, Postlight does not expect to earn money. “What is the business model? Who cares! We make business models all day. The Web can have something simply fun,” co-founder Rich Ziade wrote on the company’s blog. And that’s it

Imagine it! Fun is very rare these days, at least online. Between the humorless reproaches on Twitter and the omnossity of the advertisers who aspire to collect each fragment of their personal data, it is difficult to remember what the website looked like and what its original purpose was. The point was to walk with your friends. It turns out it’s still fun!
