I see Android Messages has a web interface now... I'm still pretty loyal to Textra.
I might give it a try soon, though.
I'm still mad Swype support has been discontinued. Swiftkey gesture typing could never match and Gboard is bunz.
Android Messages web interface is solid
can it be used on Mac?Android Messages web interface is solid

Over the past few months, the wildest rumors in video game industry circles haven’t involved the PlayStation 5 or Xbox Two. The most interesting chatter has centered on a tech company that’s been quietly making moves to tackle video games in a big way: Google, the conglomerate that operates our email, our internet browsers, and much more.
We haven’t heard many specifics about Google’s video game plans, but what we have heard is that it’s a three-pronged approach: 1) Some sort of streaming platform, 2) some sort of hardware, and 3) an attempt to bring game developers under the Google umbrella, whether through aggressive recruiting or even major acquisitions. That’s the word from five people who have either been briefed on Google’s plans or heard about them secondhand.
Google has been exploring video game initiatives for most of the decade. In 2014, the company was reportedly poised to acquire Twitch before Amazon swooped in. Rumors percolated for years that Google was also attempting to launch an Android-based console, similar to Amazon’s Fire TV, but that didn’t happen. In 2016, the Google-incubated studio Niantic scored one of the biggest gaming successes of the last decade with Pokémon Go, but it had spun out into an independent company the year before. And Google has a long history of hiring game developers for projects that never quite materialize.
In recent months, however, the chatter about Google has gotten louder. At the Game Developers Conference in March of this year, Google representatives met with several big video game companies to gauge interest in its streaming platform, which is code-named Yeti, sources said. (The existence of Google’s Yeti was first reported by the website The Information earlier this year.) Google also took meetings at E3 in Los Angeles a few weeks ago, those sources said, and from what we’ve heard, the company is looking not just to woo game developers to the Yeti service but to buy development studios entirely. (Google did not respond to a request for comment.)
So what is this streaming platform, exactly? Like Nvidia’s GeForce Now, the Google service would offload the work of rendering graphics to beefy computers elsewhere, allowing even the cheapest PCs to play high-end games. The biggest advantage of streaming, as opposed to physical discs or downloads, is that it removes hardware barriers for games. Games like Call of Duty can reach a significantly bigger audience if players don’t need an expensive graphics card or console to play them. As one person familiar with Yeti described it: Imagine playing The Witcher 3 within a tab on Google Chrome.
Any budget friendly Androids one can recommend? Want to "upgrade" from the S7 soon but don't want to pay monthly installments.
Still going strong, but feel like I have a year or so of good usage before it's outdated.
Pixel 2 XL might be the move. Seems like it hits all the key points I would want in a phone with a respectable price to boot.If software updates are of top priority, then maybe putting some cash aside for a little longer and grabbing a Pixel 2/Pixel 2 XL is the better move (both are around 5-550 on that same site.)
anybody know a good budget phone below 200? Or should I just get the used Iphone6 from my cousin lol.
Right now my choices are:
Xioami Redmi 5 plus
Xioami mi a1
Huawei Honor 7x
Huawei Y6
Iphone6 used

The only downside of the OnePlus 6 is the 1080p screen, everything else spec-wise looks great.
