gizmodo.com James Pero 2025-09-20 07:45:14

For years, it’s always been nine more measly minutes. If you don’t know what the hell I’m talking about, you’ve probably never owned an iPhone, or you’re one of those freaks who wakes up without a device screaming in your face to do so. If you are in one of those camps, let me explain: for 18 years, Apple has maintained a vice grip on its alarm snooze feature, which grants nine more minutes to your alarm. No more, no less.

If you're thinking about installing a new security camera in your home, a legal question appears: Is it legal for you to record audio and video anywhere you want in your home? Are there limitations or the possibility of lawsuits from your neighbors? This is something I've thought about a lot as I've tested security cameras in all parts of my home for years.
