What's so exciting about all this? Oh boy, another IM server is up; at least maybe wait for the Google IM Client, maybe it'll be something special (although I highly doubt it'll feature anything that will make me switch to it). Some people are making too much of this for no reason.

Jabber supports multiple protocols (MSN, AIM, IRC, YAHOO) all at the server level, so users could just switch.

And the respective companies could very easily block Google's servers from communicating with their network. Way back in the beginning of MSN Messenger, it interoperated with AIM. Microsoft played a cat and mouse game with AOL for a while, and then just gave up. If Google tries for interoperability, I can see the exact same thing happening. Which is exactly why I don't think they'll support it.

Making it work in Miranda:

First, get the OpenSSL dll files from here:

http://jabber.au.edu/miranda/

Extract them to your Miranda folder

NOT YOUR PLUGINS FOLDER.

Then start Miranda.

Some of these settings may not be required to connect, but they worked for me.

You can probably uncheck the box for "Manually specify" whatever.

    • iPhone Overheating While Gaming

      By Jamie Smith · Posted

      Hey folks, I've recently noticed my iPhone (13 Pro) getting insanely hot while playing certain games — especially ones with high graphics like COD Mobile or even during long FaceTime calls. Battery drops fast, the back heats up, and the phone starts lagging a bit too. It honestly reminds me of that GTA San Andreas mission where CJ runs through a burning building with the fire extinguisher — except I don’t have one for my phone 😂 Jokes aside, I’ve: Turned off background app refresh Reduced brightness Closed unnecessary apps Updated to the latest iOS But the issue still pops up during intense tasks. 👉 Anyone else facing this? 👉 Is this normal with newer iPhones or something I should worry about long term? 👉 Could using a MagSafe charger regularly have anything to do with it? Would love to hear your experience or if you’ve got tips to cool things down (besides playing San Andreas. on low graphics haha). Cheers!

      It's funny how easy he is to emulate because of such a limited verbal vocabulary.
    • Ignore/Block Moderators/Staff

      By Barney T. · Posted

      No, moderators and staff can not be blocked for obvious reasons. Individuals with bad intent could block moderators from doing their jobs. We have lots of spam/ users who sign up with bad intent and we are constantly cleaning the board of these troublemakers. The ability to block us would severely hamper us from doing our job. If any member has an issue with a staff member or moderator, you may PM a Supervisor, Steven P. or me to look into the matter.  Best, Barney

      Would you be open to allowing users to ignore/block staff/moderators here? When trying to do so now, you cannot add a mod/global mod to your ignore/block list. Curious why this is setup this way, is there any way around this?
