There’s a new iMessage for Android app — and it actually works
The question is how long Apple will let it.
• A new Android app called Beeper Mini allows users to send iMessages as blue bubbles from non-Apple devices.
• Beeper Mini bypasses traditional iMessage hacks by directly sending iMessages from Android devices.
• The app has been praised for its smooth functionality, sending messages seamlessly between Android and iPhone users.

Fucking insane a 16 year old kid figured it out.
It's always wild to me thinking how good kids are with tech these days to be able to crack something like this (assuming it's true).
Maybe it’s because I’m getting older, but it always seems to me that kids are living in a world where they need to as present in their digital realities as much, if not more than, their actual ones. At work it seems like they are trying to be in two places at once sometimes.
I wonder how much of that is down to their real world sucking and their digital world being pretty cool.
It's what naturally happens when smart people have free time. And teenagers have a lot of that.

Most kids are clueless with tech to be honest. Yes they know how to use it, but they have no idea how it works behind the scenes. This has pretty scary consequences on how they are easily manipulated or scammed.
Some of them are very smart, sure, but on average I'd say they are less tech savvy than Gen X and millennials who grew up at a time you couldn't use computers without some kind of knowledge of how it works (and smartphones didn't exist).
Right, I have to teach shortcuts to our young intern the exact same way as i had to do with my grandma. All the ui's are so smooth now that even a context menu is too much.
