The new MacBook Pro with PROLED XDR Display has a section in System Settings for Touch Display controls. Much of it is for toggling similar gestures to the trackpad: Mission Control, Show Apps, Show Desktop, etc. You can turn off touchscreen funcions entirely, but that’s buried in Accessibility settings.

FTC demands info from Uber, Lyft, DoorDash, and others in a personalized pricing probe.

It also asked airlines and retailers for detailed descriptions of how they use customer information to determine what prices to show.

Google is “looking into” a vague AI search response about who won the 2020 US election.

“The Gemini app answers this question more fully but this isn’t the most helpful response on Search,” Google says in a response to the Bluesky user who posted the unhelpful search answer. “We’re looking into this and working to address it.” A few of us at The Verge weren’t able to recreate it, but Ars Technica has a good rundown of the situation with some of its own testing.
