Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority TL;DR Ring is rolling out AI-powered Video Descriptions that summarize camera footage in plain text. The feature helps users quickly distinguish urgent events from routine activity. It’s currently in beta for Ring Home Premium users in the US and Canada. Smart home cameras have long sent vague alerts, which can be a double-edged sword.

10 Common Foods That Contain Microplastics and How to Avoid Them

cnet.com See Full Bio 2026-03-01 17:32:00

Microplastics are the latest hidden hazard worry for the world -- they've even been found in chewing gum. UCLA researchers have found that every time we chew gum, microplastics are released directly into our mouths. In addition to that, a new study published in Chemistry for Life tested 10 chewing gum brands and found every single one contained microplastics. This was found to be the case with both natural and synthetic varieties. A gram of gum releases around 100 microplastics on average, with

Automate tasks on Android and never forget a birthday text again - here's how

zdnet.com Jack Wallen 2026-03-01 22:44:15

Sabrina Ortiz/ZDNET One of Android's best qualities is its flexibility. If there's something you want to achieve on your Android phone, chances are pretty good you can accomplish it. As far as task automation, you can use the built-in Rules feature, but that's fairly limited. There's also Modes, but (again) that's fairly limited. That's why I generally turn to an automation app to make the feature even more powerful on Android. One such app is called MacroDroid. You can read about what this ap

Show HN: Scream to Unlock – Blocks social media until you scream “I'm a loser”

Hi all, I kept wasting time on social media, even though I’d promised myself I’d stay focused. Regular site blockers didn’t help. I needed something that felt annoying enough to break the habit. That’s how the idea came up: make the blocker ask me to say something embarrassing out loud before it lets me back in. If I actually have to yell “I’m a loser” into my mic.

Ring's AI video descriptions tell you who's doing what

Here's a use of artificial intelligence that could be handy. Ring is adding AI-generated text descriptions of alerts. If it works well, a glance will be all it takes to tell whether something requires your attention. Ring founder Jamie Siminoff gave some examples of the new notifications. "A person is walking up the steps with a black dog" could tell you it's just the dog walker returning. Or, "Two people are peering into a white car in the driveway" could indicate it's time to call the fuzz.
