Apple spokesperson Emily Ewing told The Verge that preorders will launch for “select” accessories in the Apple Home Collection — which includes security cameras, thermostats, a video doorbell, and a door lock — but didn’t specify which ones.

The $1,695 Blackmagic Ambisonic Microphone will be available in December. It features 108 digital MEMS mics, a built-in spatial encoder, uses Apple’s array geometry and ambisonic encoding filters, and doesn’t require any drivers or plug-ins — you just connect it directly into an iPhone, computer, or Blackmagic URSA Cine Immersive camera to start recording three-dimensional audio.

Before a New York Times report claimed there’s evidence of a second affair by Jensen Huang and reports surfaced that Nvidia’s board could meet today to determine his fate, US Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez spoke to TMZ last night, focusing on asking why our economy depends on “five guys in tuxedos” being able to keep it in their pants.

With reports that the company’s board is meeting to oust Huang from the company he co-founded, Bloomberg reports the board has been working with an unnamed outside firm to identify candidates and is considering naming a temporary chief executive while continuing to look for a permanent replacement.

We still haven’t seen a cash discount on Matic’s excellent robot vacuum — or the newer, quieter Serene model — but the company is currently throwing in an extended two-year warranty and a year’s worth of HEPA bags with each purchase, which amounts to $300 in savings. That’s something, right? Read our review.

iFixit posted this teardown video of the new MacBook Pro with PROLED XDR Display, showing the similarities to other current Apple laptops, as well as how much they struggled pulling the new screen apart, and how it uses four edge LEDs to light the logo on the back.

The H3 Pro Hybrid was one of my favorite wireless gaming headsets back in 2021. $279 was a lot to ask for the Sennheiser spinoff’s then-flagship headset, which has active noise cancellation plus concurrent 2.4GHz and Bluetooth audio. But $32? That’s a steal, and how much it currently costs at Woot when you use the code WOOTEPOS through November 10th.

Following the similar Baseus U2 Pro, Anker announced its own outdoor security camera with a target-tracking light that serves as a deterrent. The $299.99 Eufy TrackLight Cam S1 is available now and also features a 4K camera with digital zoom and night vision, a loud 105-decibel siren, and a large 15,000mAh battery connected to a solar panel.

By integrating the fingerprint reader into the end of the handle where your thumb naturally rests, Wyze claims you can unlock and unlatch its new smart door lock in under half a second with one quick motion.

The two companies are introducing an opt-in integration designed to increase cyclist safety by sharing real-time cycling alerts directly with drivers. Cyclists using Garmin LiveTrack on a compatible Garmin Edge bike computer or smartwatch can broadcast a dynamic, moving icon to nearby Waze drivers. The hope is that drivers using Waze will see the notice about a nearby cyclist and slow down. The feature is rolling out now to iOS and Android users.

Meta’s AI agent now works on Apple Watch and Wear OS, the company announced today.

While any apps or faces already installed will keep working, after November 28th, owners won’t be able to download them from the Fitbit App Gallery anymore, even to replace deleted ones or following a device reset.

Soundcore’s surprisingly excellent noise-canceling cans are down to $54.99 ($45 off) on eBay (via Anker) through November 15th when you use offer code SAVE20TECH. They remain some of the best budget ANC headphones you can buy, even now, namely because they deliver great sound and comfort for the price.

Less than a month after introducing its Ultimate 3C Plus controller with wireless PC and Android support, 8BitDo announced a wired version that’s Xbox compatible. At $39.99, it will be the same price as the wireless version when it launches on November 16th and features a pair of TMR thumbsticks with adjustable tension, switchable Hall effect triggers, an extra pair of shoulder buttons, and Windows support.
