I was rooting for that tomato to escape.
So sad.

Apple has already announced that it is going to adopt the RCS messaging standard next year as reported here on Slashdot back on November 16th.
This will provide cross-platform support and render these concerns moot.

I literally said this would happen 5 days ago.

Since this is talking about Saudi Arabia you probably should have just dropped the part about getting voted out of a democracy. They're a hereditary monarchy.
Saudi Arabia has seen reduced GDP from oil ever since it peaked at 87.1% in 1979. It's somewhere around 24% today and will continue to drop.
Saudi Arabia has been trying to reduce their dependence on oil revenue for two decades or more but they are a desert nation with few other national resources.
They're wealthy but desperate as their economics are guided by the knowledge that the future currently looks grim for them.

This has nothing to do with reversing time, just reflecting microwaves in unusual ways with novel waveguides.

How many days do you think it will take before Apple releases point releases that renders the Beeper hack useless?

Two years for a nationwide infrastructure project is nothing.
It's not just a bunch of chargers...it's the whole enchilada. Standards have to be drafted and agreed upon, power systems need to be built out, payment methods need to be worked out.
BMW, Ford, Genesis, General Motors, Honda, Hyundai, Jaguar, Kia, Lucid, Mini, Nissan, Mercedes-Benz, Polestar, Rivian, Toyota, and Volvo only gained access to charge on the Tesla Supercharger system last month.

...I will never purchase any HP printer for my personal use.
And if I were to ever again spec a business printer for a client I'd look for any reasonable HP alternative.

The primary correlation for smaller family size is women's education.
But women's education tends to correlate quite strongly with wealth.

...finally...

Emigration: the act of leaving one's own country to settle permanently in another; moving abroad.
The article is about leaving a state--California--not a country.

But EVERYONE knows the sun doesn't shine at night and the wind doesn't always blow, so you've created a stick man argument.
Moreover this is a discussion about batteries that literally are used to store power for use when the sun doesn't shine and the wind doesn't blow.
You simply install a surplus of photovoltaic cells and wind turbines and store the current for use "when the sun don't shine and the wind don't blow."
Keep a few additional fueled power plants for the rare times the batteries run out.
Another benefit of the battery storage--you can know ahead of time when to start to fire those generators up due to the known discharge rates of the battery storage.

By the time existing in-use lithium battery capacities start to drop due to cell aging we should have a few new varieties of batteries become available with longer lifespans, higher energy densities and improved recyclability. And perhaps even some new varieties of high capacity super-capacitor will be developed that could be useful too.

Targeting unwanted cells like cancer cells is a separate challenge. This discovery provides a very elegant and effective way to destroy those targeted cells once they are encountered and characterized.
