One of the best things my smart home does is help me care for my pets, and security cameras are particularly useful for keeping track of my many critters. But the barrage of notifications they send often means I miss important ones. So, when Google announced its new Pet Memory feature for Gemini for Home, […]

The company will most likely manufacture its Pixel devices in Vietnam and India starting in 2027, Nikkei Asia says. Sam Rutherford for Engadget Google will no longer manufacture any Pixel device in China starting next year, according to Nikkei Asia.

It’s just a hook, sewn into a bag, but I really, really like it. Peak Design is so proud of its clever integration that the San Francisco-based maker of camera gear gave it a name: BagLev, for its ability to keep its new City Line of bags levitated above the dirty ground. How many of

Denser NAND has made yesterday’s tiny capacities increasingly hard to justify. Valeriy Lushchikov/Getty Images Once upon a time, 1GB of flash memory was serious capacity (and it wasn’t cheap either). In early 2002, the industry was abuzz about JMTek’s USBDrive and its up-to-1GB capacity. Today, that same capacity is tiny by consumer standards. Most

The greatest invention in pet tech in recent years is the litter robot. A machine that scoops your kitties’ poop so you don’t have to — what else could a cat owner possibly want? How about insights into your kitty’s litter box usage that could flag health issues? Sign me up. But I have two

It wasn’t long ago that shooting with a super high-resolution camera meant making serious sacrifices for the sake of all those megapixels. Enter the A7R VI. Sony’s latest flagship high-res camera is a 66.8-megapixel spec monster. In addition to its modest bump in resolution from the last-gen A7R V, it uses a new sensor and

Google has added some smart theft-detection features to Android in recent years. Alejandro J. Vivas/Shutterstock For years, Android anti-theft protection was more reactionary than proactive. Users are all too familiar with traditional warnings and protocols, like shielding your phone when entering your PIN, utilizing location services and avoiding easily guessed passwords. Fortunately, anti-theft

One of the big tradeoffs with Xteink’s pocket-friendly e-readers is a lack of easy access to ebooks. On a Kindle or Kobo you can download tens of thousands of titles through each device’s respective online bookstores, but with Xteink’s devices you have to source DRM-free ebooks on your own. That’s about to change, as the

We think it’s kind of neat. Wongsakorn 2468/Shutterstock Samsung’s Galaxy Watch 8 can already track your heart rate, sleep and workouts. But that’s not enough information about you, apparently. Its Antioxidant Index turns a five-second thumb scan into a score from 0 to 100. The watch isn’t measuring all of the antioxidants in
