When iOS 26 first dropped, there was one pretty huge group chat bug. Some users complained that their messages to existing group chats were sent as individual chats instead of chats to the entire group, and didn't show in the group chat at all. A user on Reddit said the bug was particularly stark with chats that included numbers that weren't tied to iPhones.But in the few weeks since, that bug seems to be fixed, and users have begun to shift their focus away from the frustrations of a

When it first hit Broadway in 1981, Stephen Sondheim and George Furth's decades-spanning musical Merrily We Roll Along was a total flop. The original run of the show ran for 16 performances and 44 previews before closing.But in the years since, Merrily We Roll Along has enjoyed much bigger critical and commercial success, and no production exemplifies that more than the show's 2023 Broadway revival. Directed by Maria Friedman, the revival starred Jonathan Groff, Daniel Radcliffe, and Lindsay Men

If you've ever found searching through your folders on Google Drive to be a chore, the company has good news. There's a catch, however — and naturally it involves your wallet.

What are the best noise-cancelling headphones of 2025?Even the best value headphones will feel lacking if they don't come equipped with halfway decent noise cancellation. Besides, there are simply too many headphones on the market (our testing pool gets bigger by the month) for you to pay hundreds only to get subpar ANC. So, which brand comes out on top?For most people, we think the new Bose QuietComfort Ultra Headphones (2nd Gen) offer the best overall value, with the ideal blend of comfort, so

Remember DeepSeek, the large language model (LLM) out of China that was released for free earlier this year and upended the AI industry? Without the funding and infrastructure of leaders in the space like Google and OpenAI, the team behind the DeepSeek R1 model was able to create a viable competitor to Gemini and ChatGPT.This week, the DeepSeek team released two powerful new models, DeepSeek-V3.2 and DeepSeek-V3.2-Speciale — and once again they are totally free to use.This Tweet is current

How to choose the best headphonesWe won't beat around the bush: There's no definitive "best" product here.

The comet called Clarke isn't done with Earth yet. And the new clip from Greenland 2: Migration gives us a terrifying taste of what is yet to come. In the nerve-shredding post-apocalyptic thriller Greenland, a comet big enough to kill a planet sent family man John Garrity (Gerard Butler), his wife (Morena Baccarin), and their child to flee everything they knew and most everyone they loved, in search of safety in a bunker in the titular country.
