Netflix now allows extra members on third‑party billed plans Netflix appears to have updated its terms so that subscribers can add additional members to existing accounts even when the subscription is billed through another provider. Previously, the option to add extra members was not available for plans managed or billed by third parties; reports now indicate this restriction may have been relaxed. There is a small inconsistency in the currently published terms: some wording still notes that "additional members cannot be added to package deals," yet users are reporting the option is now available in account settings. That suggests the rollout may be partial or that Netflix updated functionality before fully revising the written terms. What changed: Ability to add extra members on accounts billed via third parties (e.g., telecom…

Apple reportedly planning a touchscreen MacBook Pro with M6 chip Recent reports indicate Apple is conducting advanced planning to introduce a MacBook Pro with a touchscreen, likely powered by a next-generation M6 processor. Sources cited by Bloomberg suggest a potential launch window in late 2026 or early 2027, marking a notable strategic shift for the company. Key points: Target release: late 2026 to early 2027. Possible chipset: Apple M6 family (expected successor to current M-series chips). UI implications: This would be a significant departure from Apple’s long-standing resistance to touch interfaces on macOS devices. Background: Apple historically resisted adding touchscreen displays to MacBooks — a stance famously associated with Steve Jobs, who argued macOS wasn’t suited to touch. While Apple has experimented with touch on the Touch Bar and continues…

Reddit Answers Flagged for Dangerous Medical Advice; Moderators Call for AI Controls Moderators across Reddit have raised alarms after the platform's AI feature, Reddit Answers, reportedly suggested dangerous medical advice in response to users' queries. One moderator said the tool recommended that people with chronic pain stop their prescriptions and take high-dose kratom — an unregulated substance that is illegal in some states — and even suggested heroin as a pain-relief option. Other concerning responses included potentially harmful guidance for neonatal fever. Community moderators, especially from health-focused subreddits, say they currently have no way to disable Reddit Answers or hide problematic responses from view. That lack of moderation controls has amplified concerns about the AI tool’s suitability for sensitive topics. Reported recommendations included high-dose kratom and heroin for chronic pain.…

Waymo partners with DoorDash to pilot autonomous deliveries in Phoenix Waymo has announced a partnership with DoorDash to offer autonomous vehicle deliveries in Phoenix, Arizona. Initially, deliveries will be limited to items ordered through DashMart, DoorDash's convenience and grocery storefront, with plans to expand to more local merchants and a wider variety of offerings over time. To use the service, DoorDash customers in Phoenix must place an order and opt in to "autonomous delivery" during checkout. When the Waymo vehicle arrives, customers will need to step outside and collect their order from the car's trunk to complete the delivery — unlike standard DoorDash orders that are handed to you at your door. Location: Phoenix, Arizona (Waymo's existing service area) Initial inventory: DashMart convenience and grocery items How it works: Opt-in…

The Crew 2 Gets Hybrid Mode: Play Offline (With Limits) Ubisoft has updated The Crew 2 with a new Hybrid Mode that lets players run the game offline. The offline mode uses a separate save file from the online game, giving players a way to keep playing without relying on live servers. There are important limitations to note: offline saves are distinct from online saves, multiplayer content and user-generated content (LIVE Summits, Crew Credits purchases, etc.) are not available in offline mode, and exporting your online save to offline will overwrite any existing offline-only progress. Separate saves: online and offline progress do not merge automatically. Export option: you can overwrite your offline save with an online one, but this will erase offline-only progress. Unavailable features offline: multiplayer, UGC, LIVE Summits,…

Apple Reportedly Adding Touchscreens to MacBook Pro (M6, OLED) Apple is reportedly planning to introduce touchscreen MacBook Pro models in late 2026 or early 2027. Sources cited by Bloomberg suggest internal codenames K114 and K116, and indicate the machines will run on Apple’s next‑generation M6 chips. The displays are said to be OLED, and Apple is redesigning the hinge and screen hardware so the display won’t move when used as a touchscreen. Key reported details include: M6-powered MacBook Pro models (internal codenames K114 and K116) OLED displays with reinforced hinge and screen hardware Hole-punch camera instead of the current notch, keeping more usable display area Trackpad and keyboard retained; thinner, lighter chassis expected Apple historically resisted bringing touch to macOS devices, favoring the iPad as the touchscreen option. This shift…

Meta to Shut Down Messenger Desktop Apps on macOS and Windows Meta has confirmed it will shut down its Messenger desktop apps for macOS and Windows on December 15. After that date, users will no longer be able to access the standalone Messenger apps and will be directed to the Facebook app on Windows or the Facebook and Messenger websites to use the service. The company hasn’t provided an official reason for discontinuing the desktop apps. This move likely reflects usage patterns — many users already rely on mobile apps or web interfaces — but Meta did not offer a detailed explanation in its announcement. What you need to do to preserve your chats If you want to ensure your chats are saved going forward, Meta says you must enable…

Google's Gemini Photo Features Blocked in Texas and Illinois Amid Privacy Concerns Google has confirmed that two Gemini-powered Google Photos features — Ask Photos (which lets you query your photo library) and Conversational Editing (which lets you edit images via natural language) — are currently unavailable to users in Texas and Illinois. The company did not give a detailed explanation, saying only that it's "working to determine how to make Ask Photos available to more users." Reporting points to recent legal settlements as a likely cause: Google settled an Illinois class-action over Google Photos privacy in 2022 for $200M, and earlier this year reached a $1.4B settlement with Texas over unauthorized data collection. Both cases involved concerns around biometric data and facial recognition, and the missing features require the Photos…
