cnet.com See Full Bio 2025-11-18 12:00:00

For the past year, reports have made it clear that Apple is planning to release its own line of devices for smart home and home security. The only question is when. With Apple's big "awe-dropping" fall event only days away, it's time to start hoping. On Sept. 9, we'll see the new iPhone 17, a new Apple Watch and probably new AirPods, too. But Apple may also make a surprise announcement about a security camera, smart display and more home tech. Could it be too early for the rumors to come true?

engadget.com Unknown 2025-11-18 18:00:48

Google must pay $425 million to the plaintiffs of a class action lawsuit that accused the company of collecting users' data even after they've turned off a tracking feature, a federal jury has decided. The lead plaintiff sued Google back in July 2020, arguing that the company still harvested data even though it tells users they can disable tracking under Web & App Activity through its connection with other apps, such as Uber and Instagram.

Roborock’s Washer and Dryer Combo Also Doubles as a Robot Vacuum Dock

Eufy's MarsWalker allows its robot vacuums to climb stairs

Eufy just introduced a couple of new devices at the IFA conference in Germany, including something called the MarsWalker. This little doodad picks up robot vacuums and carries them up and down stairs. That's pretty neat, considering stairs are the bane of any robovac's existence. The company says the MarsWalker automatically recognizes common stair types, including straight, L-shaped and U-shaped. It transports the vacuum between floors and drops it off at the base station when needed. Eufy boa
