Haptic trackpads are only in a tiny number of Windows laptops, most notably the newer Surface devices. But they’re pretty neat if you get a chance to try them out, enhancing the experience in the same way haptic feedback on phones does. According to some features spotted in a pre-release version of Windows, it’s coming to more interactions in the operating system. PhantomofEarth, a tireless and spot-on investigator of Windows builds, spotted it hidden in the newest developer/beta build of Windows 11, 26220.7070. Though it’s hidden by default, they were able to explore a setting for “Haptic signals” under the main Mouse settings menu. “Feel subtle vibrations when you snap windows, align objects, and more” says the setting, along with a slider for the intensity. phantomofearth Presumably this will mean a little buzz of feedback when you use Windows’ Snap feature, the way to quickly set a specific window to take up half the screen, a quadrant, et cetera. (Incidentally, if you use this often, you simply must download PowerToys and use FancyZones to customize your layouts.) Similar user interface tricks are found on phones and tablets — I get something like this when I open side-by-side apps on an Android phone or tablet, for example. Right now haptic feedback for Windows elements is pretty limited, though it’s expanding since Apple added it as a default on MacBooks, characteristically branded as “Force Touch.” But Logitech recently added haptic feedback to the brand new MX Master Mouse 4, so it looks like it’s definitely a trend. It’s not clear when or if this new option will make its way to general users, considering that it’s got to be a pretty low priority. Read...

Google is now making it possible to set expiration dates on shared files and folders in Google Drive, reports Digital Trends. The feature applies to both shared drives and “My Drive,” where users can grant temporary access to a file or folder that’s automatically revoked after a certain date. This also means that temporary editing rights in “My Drive” no longer disappear completely when the period expires. Instead, it’ll revert to the basic authorization applicable to the folder (usually view mode). Expiry dates can be set directly in the regular sharing menu on the web and in the Drive app on Android. Currently, there’s no support for iOS. The feature is currently being rolled out to users in phases. Read...
