Now when an Android user reacts to an RCS message from an iOS user, the selected emoji will appear in line with the message bubble on iOS — instead of archaically appearing as a separate line like this: “ to ‘that wasn’t supposed to happen.’”

The New York Times Tech Guild is striking for a contract—which they’ve been negotiating for more than two years.
New York Times tech workers are still on strike after walking out one day before the presidential election. That means they’re still asking people to skip their usual Crossword, Wordle, or Connections routines. But now, the union has released its own offerings for games lovers that keep them from crossing the digital picket line.
They may have been more right this time around, but experts say there may be little to learn from it.
Election Day has come and gone, and once again, millions of people are sifting through the data and trying to make sense of it all.

Sega is planning to delist a lot of its classic games from digital storefronts as of December 6th at 11:59PM PT.

Sega is pulling 12 titles from the Xbox store. The Nintendo eShop and the PlayStation Store will “just” lose SEGA Genesis Classics — but that title includes more than 50 old Genesis games, so it...
