- Google now lets you manage all of your old Nest Cams from the Home appby Jay Peters
Google now lets you manage Nest Cam IQ indoor and outdoor cameras — which were both released in 2017 — through a public preview in the Google Home app, meaning that you can now technically manage all Nest cams from as early as 2015 from the Home app instead of the Nest app. Google has been slowly making it possible to bring Nest cams into Home over the past year and change. When you transfer your Nest Cam IQ cameras over to Home, you’ll be able to “review video history in event and timeline views, access camera settings, and more without switching between the Nest and Google Home apps,” Google says. From Home, Google also lets you view live streams from cameras in your favorites tab and set up automations. You can join the public preview... Continue reading…
- The best deals on MacBooks right nowby Quentyn Kennemer
You can already save more than $200 on an M4 MacBook Pro. | Photo by Antonio G. Di Benedetto / The Verge Apple currently sells MacBooks equipped with its own M-series chips in a wide range of sizes and price points. It discontinued the M1 MacBook Air to make room for the latest models, but some retailers are still selling the last-gen laptop starting at $649 — a far cry from the $2,499 starting price of the latest 16-inch MacBook Pro with M4 Pro. Purchasing a new MacBook can certainly be a pricey endeavor, but thankfully, finding a deal on more recent models is actually not that difficult. Apple has recently shaken up the starting RAM for several models, creating more options than ever before and resulting in steeper discounts on older models. Although Macs may not experience perpetual discounts, it’s not uncommon to see various models... Continue reading…

The updated V4 stalls include new physical payment terminals, longer cords that can reach the charge ports of other manufacturers’ EVs without... Continue reading…
- Dozens of states ask Congress to un-doom the Kids Online Safety Actby Adi Robertson
Image: Cath Virginia / The Verge A group of state attorneys general are pushing Congress to pass the Kids Online Safety Act (KOSA), which has stalled in the House of Representatives thanks to concerns over online censorship. An open letter published today is signed by 32 attorneys general, including those of 31 states and the District of Columbia.

- US lawyers will reportedly try to force Google to sell Chrome and unbundle Androidby Wes Davis
Illustration by Cath Virginia / The Verge The Department of Justice is planning to ask for Google’s antitrust trial judge to force the company to sell off its Chrome browser after the judge ruled the company has maintained an illegal search monopoly, reports Bloomberg. Chrome is the world’s most widely used browser, and the government’s lawyers have argued that its use in cross-promoting Google’s products is one of the things limiting available channels and incentives for competition to grow. Requirements that officials are preparing to propose include that Google separate Android from Search and Google Play, but without trying to force Google to sell off Android. Another requirement would say it has to share more information with advertisers and that it “give them more control... Continue reading…
