I let Gemini watch my family for the weekend — it got weird

Google’s Nest cams now use AI to tell you what they see, not just show you. Only sometimes it tells me about things that aren’t there.

I had a bad weekend with Xbox Full Screen Experience preview on MSI Claw — but I’ll need to retest.

Correction: I originally wrote there was no way to bring up the task switcher on Claw — the best part of FSE — but that’s because MSI Center claimed I was on the latest BIOS when I wasn’t! With BIOS 10F, I can long-press Quick Settings to task-switch. Because that BIOS may have fixed other things too, I also need to re-test sleep (which wasn’t working for me).

I tested 30 smart locks, and these are the best

Never get locked out again with a smart lock you can control from your phone, with your face, or with a fingerprint.

The Bose Ultra gen 2 earbuds are still chunky, but their ANC is incredible

While the noise-canceling improvements are great, there’s not much to set them apart from the first gen.

Apple’s Vision Pro with M5 is better than the first, but still awfully lonely

Turns out, only marginally more than a $3,000 one. But the MSI Titan 18 is a unique beast.

I bought Hallmark’s light-and-sound Xbox 360 Christmas ornament and here it is.

That was fast! I slapped down my $29 the day we wrote about Hallmark’s new ornament and it’s already here. Watch when I press the power button — and see how it compares to my Sega Genesis one Hallmark released in 2022! There’s an NES, SNES and OG Xbox too.

Does the gummy bear battery bank truly reign supreme?

When Liz wrote that an officially licensed Haribo gummy bear battery was taking over the ultralight backpacking world, I just knew I’d have to toy with it for you. What else am I supposed to do with my shiny new USB-C power meter, after all? Links: Haribo, Iniu, Nitecore.

Google is trying to commit, okay?

The company has... let’s just say a rep for killing its products off. So I’m going to celebrate the fourth Pixel Watch turning out to be the best Android smartwatch around, and hope Google learns that there are upsides to seeing something through.

Amazing what happens when you actually stick with a product, isn’t it?
