Map your data your way with dynamic state selection
A user's macro for a secondary state highlight on their map chart broke, and they're stuck recreating it. That's a frustrating place to be, especially when the rest of the dynamic state selection still works.

For anyone watching how tech giants operate, this is a moment worth understanding.
Meta sets daily time limits for teens, empowering parents with control.
Meta's new settlement with states brings a practical shift: teens will face a daily two-hour app limit unless parents step in.

For more on how Meta is adjusting its policies, our piece on the reversal of ads for the Musk documentary offers useful context. This decision, though, is about direct impact on families, and that's worth watching closely.
