WhatsApp is testing message reminders

If you’re like me and often read a message, tell yourself you’ll reply later, and then instantly forget about it, a new WhatsApp experiment might bring the solution. New feature has presets and custom options According to recent findings by WABetaInfo (via Tecnoblog), WhatsApp is now testing a feature that lets users set reminders for specific messages. So rather than pinning chats, starring messages, or simply hoping to remember to check back later, users can schedule an actual notification

Messages on iOS 26 will make it harder to fall for phishing scams

9to5mac.com Marcus Mendes 2026-01-04 08:03:15

While even tech-savvy users can fall for elaborate phishing scams, most attacks are designed to target less technically inclined people. With that in mind, the new Messages app in iOS 26 introduces (or better yet, removes) two things that could make a pretty big difference in keeping users safe, regardless of how familiar they may be with phishing tactics. The new Messages app splits conversations into a few categories, accessible via the filter button in the top right: Messages, Unknown Sende

Extending Emacs with Fennel (2024)

Sure, Guile isn’t just a Scheme implementation, thanks to its compiler-tower-based design. Other languages exist for Guile VM, such as Emacs Lisp, and Guile manual lists the following languages with various stages of completeness: ECMAScript Brainfuck Lua Ruby Python Sure, it would be nice, if Emacs could natively run all of these, but we have to understand, tha

How to Spot and Guard Against Wrong Number Scams

wired.com David Nield 2026-01-09 04:00:00

Something you can be sure of when it comes to scams and swindles is that the methods used to try to part you from your data, your money, or both are constantly changing—which of course makes it more difficult to spot scenarios where someone is attempting to trick you. One simple scam that's continuing to get more common starts off with text from someone who has apparently messaged the wrong number.
