    How to get Google Search results without AI Overviews.

    Tedium has a tip for opting out of Google’s AI summarized answers: add “udm=14” to your default search URL, so it reads as “https://www.google.com/search?q=%s&udm=14” instead of Google dot com.

    To set this up in Chrome, go into Settings, then Search engine > Manage search engines> Site search. In Arc, go to Arc > Settings > Profiles > Search settings > Add (Site search).

    A screenshot showing three fields, filled out as follows: Name is “Google Web Search”; Shortcut is “gw”; and URL is “https://www.google.com/search?q=%s&udm=14”
    Here’s how your new default search should look, at least in the Arc browser.

    A rose (iPhone) by any other name.

    Apple supply chain analyst Ming-Chi Kuo posted that the company plans to release the iPhone 16 Pro in “black, white (or silver), grey (I think it’s natural titanium), rose.”

    The non-Pro models, he predicts, will come in the same hues as the iPhone 15 and 15 Plus, though he notes the colors could “look different,” despite having the same name.
