zdnet.com Lance Whitney 2025-08-20 19:13:00

Elyse Betters Picaro / ZDNET I've been anxiously expecting a package from UPS. That's why a text I received the other day caught my eye. Claiming to be from UPS, the message said that the carrier attempted to deliver the package on June 27, but the delivery couldn't be completed. The date was one when my wife and I were away, so this seemed legitimate at first glance. Also: Got a suspicious E-ZPass text? Don't click the link (and what to do if you already did) However, I've written plenty of

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-08-21 09:29:14

New code suggests Gemini will soon support RCS through Google Messages, potentially enabling image sharing. Gemini on Android can be used like a good old digital assistant to send text messages to one of your contacts. Once Gemini accepts the command, i

The Nissan Leaf Is Back and Looking to Make Up Lost Ground
