5 security cameras you should buy instead of Google Nest ones

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-08-10 03:00:09

C. Scott Brown / Android Authority It’s hard to blame anyone for feeling fed up with Google Nest cameras right now. The latest Nest Aware price hike means users will soon be paying up to $200 a year, with zero new features to show for it. That’s on top of already pricey hardware, limited local storage options, and a system that some feel might actually be getting worse rather than better. Maybe you’re already planning to cancel like some of these angry Redditors. Maybe you’re just Nest-curious

Paul Jones / Android Authority TL;DR Huawei’s flagship Pura 80 Ultra features 3D interactive lock screens that move in sync with the phone’s physical movement. The interactive lock screens also function as games, utilizing hand and eye-tracking features to manipulate objects. While the hand and eye-tracking gestures likely utilize the phone’s front camera, there is no usage indicator, which raises privacy concerns.

No More Waiting: New Crypto Law Unlocks Cheaper, Faster Money for Everyone

gizmodo.com Luc Olinga 2025-08-10 04:52:16

For more than a decade, cryptocurrency lived in legal limbo. It was too weird to regulate, too volatile to trust, and too new for Washington to take seriously. That just changed. The U.S. House of Representatives has passed the GENIUS Act, the first major federal law regulating stablecoins, digital currencies backed by the U.S. dollar. The bill now heads to President Trump’s desk, where it’s expected to become law. Here’s what it means for you, your money, and the financial system around you.

Ordering wine at a restaurant shouldn't be a stressful occasion, but there is plenty of language and ritual associated with wine that can feel foreign to the casual drinker. One such practice is the obligatory tasting after the bottle is opened and before it's poured for you and your guests. Despite what you -- and many others -- might think, this is not really to determine if you like the wine, but rather, to ensure the wine is not spoiled or "corked."
