    In December, Google Translate started using Gemini AI to improve translations for colloquial phrases and idioms that might not make sense in other languages, and now the Translate app also offers alternative phrasings on iOS or Android.

    Walmart is paying $100 million to settle a lawsuit for deceiving its Spark delivery service drivers.

    The FTC and 11 states accused Walmart of showing “drivers in its Spark Driver delivery program inflated base pay and tip amounts,” resulting in millions of dollars of lost earnings. Walmart also allegedly deceived customers by claiming that 100 percent of tips went to drivers.

    The settlement also requires Walmart to implement an earnings verification program for drivers, as well as other changes. A separate lawsuit from the CFPB over driver bank accounts was dropped last year in the first weeks of the Trump administration.
