Would you consider going a day without the internet? I did and I'll tell you why. Better yet, let me paint the picture for you. I stood on a ridge in the Sandia Mountains near Albuquerque, New Mexico, surrounded by pinyon trees and red-barked pines, listening to the trill of dark-eyed juncos jostling through the underbrush. Amid all this beauty, my phone chimed. And chimed again. And buzzed and beeped. A friend sent an Instagram link. Uber Eats offered a discount deal. Target had a coupon for

Ring camera alerts are about to get a lot smarter

theverge.com Jennifer Pattison Tuohy 2026-03-01 03:00:00

Ring cameras are getting an AI upgrade that can tell you what’s happening at your front door, as well as show you.
