It isn't. As far as I know, iMessage is irrelevant in Europe.

They patched HWID, but looks like a new version dropped shortly afterwards

Don't understand the hate though. I find ChromeOS a good environment to do small programming tasks with its Linux VM.

Then there is always the fact that ChromeOS comes from Google.....

I don't know if it's the worst, but I am very disappointed with the movie adaptation of Mortal Engines. The series has such a rich world to explore and very good plot points that would have been amazing to see on the big screen.

The movie ruined any possibility to see a sequel or even a reboot in a very long time (similar to what happened with His Dark Materials), although the fandom now prefers that if there is another attempt at an adaptation it has to be a TV series and animated.
