David Leavitt and Greg Rhodes look at Ring's new indoor flying security camera, a self-charging, camera-equipped device priced around $250 that can patrol more of a home than a handful of fixed cameras, plus Ring's wheeled rover robot (about $1,000 and available now) with a 4K periscope camera, siren, light tower, two-way audio, and a dock that turns the cameras and microphones off while it charges. They talk through how these could work with existing alarms, especially in a warehouse or business, and why you would want control over what wakes them up.
Next we cover Google bringing Gemini to Apple CarPlay, announced November 11, so you can get directions and help on the car screen, plus Google's new Pixel Tag, built to compete with AirTag 2 and usable across Android phones, not just Pixel. For Pixel 10 owners, Gemini adds Rambler, a tool that cleans up voice-to-text before you hit send, along with other Pixel software upgrades. We also point to early Black Friday price drops already underway at Refresh Computers, including crossed-out original prices and extra markdowns on quality refurbished machines.
We close with a holiday PC checkup tip: if a slow computer freezes while you are trying to grab a limited deal, bring it to Refresh Computers in Longwood for a free diagnostic. The shop also checks your Windows version, helps you turn on automatic updates, and handles repairs from screens and power jacks to software glitches and even phone or CarPlay confusion. Call the free tech support hotline at 407-478-8200. Subscribe, share this with someone whose PC is slowing down before the holidays, and tell us which gadget you would actually deploy at home.
