    Roku cameras now have picture-in-picture mode.

    The new feature allows users to pin the feeds of Roku indoor and outdoor wired cameras to the TV screen while watching other content. This is supported on most 4K Roku Players and TVs, and is rolling out alongside a motion-activated rotating security camera carousel feature that was teased in October.

    The new PIP feature seems pretty useful as a giant baby monitor for your TV.

    YouTube’s new AI tool yaps nonsense.

    We can now see what the “editable AI-enhanced reply suggestions” feature that was announced in September looks like thanks to YouTuber Clint Basinger (seen via 404 Media), and it’s pretty half-baked.

    The AI seems to understand that Basinger’s channel focuses on gaming and gadget reviews, but that just means it throws completely out-of-context tech jargon into most reply suggestions.
