Why Is iMessage or RCS Texting Broken? Here's How to Fix It on Your iPhone

If you're an iPhone owner, you might be familiar with this experience. You're having a back-and-forth conversation with your friend over iMessage, when suddenly there's a lull and your blue bubbles are now green. Or perhaps you're texting someone over RCS (which was introduced last year with iOS 18), but something happened, and now all your messages are regular SMS, you can't see typing indicators, and your read receipts are gone.

9 Best Smart Shades, Blinds, and Curtains (2025), Tested and Reviewed

Tailor-Made vs. Off-the-Shelf: Few things look smarter than perfectly fitted shades in a window frame, and few things look worse than shades that don’t quite fit.

Asana is a project and task management SaaS platform used by organizations to plan, track, and manage work,

Satechi’s new SSD enclosure matches the Mac Mini

is a senior reporter who’s been covering and reviewing the latest gadgets and tech since 2006, but has loved all things electronic since he was a kid. Satechi has announced a new SSD enclosure with an aluminum design that matches the black and silver finish and dimensions of Apple’s Mac Mini M4, but thinner so it can perch atop the tiny desktop computer or be used as a matching stand. But since it connects using an included braided USB-C cable, the enclosure is compatible with any device that s

NASA Moves Ahead With Private ISS Mission After Air Leak Repairs

NASA is looking to launch Axiom Space’s fourth private mission to the International Space Station (ISS) this week, after recent attempts to repair air leaks in the Russian module appear to have been successful. Last week, the space agency abruptly postponed the launch of Axiom Mission 4, which was set to launch on June 11. NASA cited a new pressure signal in a segment of the Zvezda service module that’s been leaking air, very slowly, for nearly six years. In a follow-up statement on Saturday, N

Apple emerges as likely buyer for UFO disclosure film from ‘Top Gun’ producer

If aliens exist, Apple may be about to tell the origin story of how we found out… Deadline exclusively reports that Apple Original Films is the likely suitor for an upcoming movie centered around UFO disclosure. The untitled sci-fi (fiction, debatable) film is expected to focus on events in recent years around the U.S. government’s disclosure of previously classified footage of what is now called a UAP (unidentified aerial phenomena or unidentified anomalous phenomena). For years, the stigma su

See a garbage truck’s CNG cylinders explode after lithium-ion battery fire

Garbage truck fires are never ideal, but they are usually not catastrophic. When a fire broke out on December 6 in the back of a garbage truck making its Friday rounds through the Chicago suburb of Arlington Heights, the fire department responded within five minutes.

Four minutes after their arrival on scene, however, the garbage truck exploded in rather
