@Spr1g@mastodon.socialTexting Through Bluetooth 
If you are ever in need to get in contact with friends and family in your area without the use of cell towers, one way you could do it is through Bluetooth.
While this tech might seem odd to need when you can message someone over the internet or cell signal, there are situations where having this set up could help keep you and those you care about safe.

I reregistered my old iPhone (it has its own line and SIM) and it completely blew up my primary iPhone. No idea why, just won’t “register” with iMessage and now I can’t send texts or iMessage on my main line.
Kablooey.

@techhelpkb@mastodon.socialApple has indirectly confirmed that it will adopt the RCS Universal Profile 3.0 specification, which includes not only end-to-end encryption, but also several other iMessage-like enhancements. Here are 5 of them.

I have stopped using SMS. I stopped about a decade ago. It's only centralised banks and online shopping sites still using this technology that dates back to the 70s. Yeesh!

As a grammar prescriptivist, I take writing and proper use of words very seriously. I recently saw a post about ending text messages with full stops. Apparently, some think this is a bad idea. No. It's called using punctuation correctly! Perhaps, they should read a few grammars instead of playing their silly video games! The same is true of netspeak, textspeak, corporate spaek, and abbreviating everything. Likewise, I have no use for political correctness. I refuse to use words such as visually-challenged, vertically-challenged, etc. I will say blind (or visually impaired if the person has some vision), short, fat, etc. Unless I'm writing poetry and am seeking flowery words for things, I call them what they are. I also have no time for so-called gender-neutral words, unless they honestly make sense and are actually descriptive, such as firefighter or police officer. But I'm just as likely to say fireman, policeman, waiter, steward, actor, chairman, etc. and change the gender when necessary. I also refuse to use the singular they. There are two sexes (gender is for grammar). You're either one or the other. This absolutely doesn't mean that you can't change your sex. If, for example, I meet you as a woman and you change to a man or are a drag king/queen, I will certainly change my use of pronouns when discussing you or talking about you, either permenantly or temporarily, as the case requires. But unless you literally have multiple personalities or are a machine or an inanimate object, you are neither a they nor an it, and you're certainly not some made-up pronoun such as xe. I would never cause harm to those who use such words. I would just consider them to be silly or confused.

@techhelpkb@mastodon.socialIn 2024, though, Apple finally brought RCS messaging to iOS 18. It has made messaging much easier for non-iPhone-using friends and family. Here’s why RCS has been a game-changer.
