If you are experiencing unstable Internet (or a complete outage), please note that there is ANOTHER Amazon Web Services outage today.

FYI - If you are unaware, Amazon Web Services (Cloud Computing Services) had been experiencing a global outage. Amazon is reporting that the issue affecting AWS has been "fully mitigated."

iOS 18 finally brings RCS messages to iPhone — here's how to send them RCS on iOS 18 — bridging the bubble divide

Apples (once again) late to the party, is supposed to start supporting RCS Messaging Standard on iPhone(s) next year.
