    How can I “bcc” a group of users via text?

    I want to send the same text to a list of people but not as a group. I don’t want the other people to see replies, etc. I assume this will require an app but I don’t know for sure. It would be nice if there was a way to do it via standard iOS applications. If macOS has this ability, that...

    When editing text files in Monterey outside of your home folder (or /usr/local), all TAB occurrences are magically replaced with two-spaces. For example, anything inside /Library/WebServer or the /opt directory. However files saved in a home folder or /usr/local edit correctly. This is driving...

    Automatically Load Rich SMS Links?

    When receiving a link in an SMS text, I need to manually tap on it to generate the thumbnail/load the content. Is there a setting that will allow these to be loaded automatically, or do I need to do it manually every time?
