Amazon's October Prime Big Deal Days event runs October 6-7, 2026, with early deals already live on popular brands including Hanes, Yeti, Apple, Shark, and Ring. The article highlights discounted products across categories like apparel, home appliances, and security devices, with savings up to 65% off select items.
Apple has launched Apple Intelligence for HomeKit Secure Video, adding AI-powered text descriptions to security camera notifications. The feature, which competitors like Ring and Google Nest already offer, uses Vision Language Models to describe activity at a glance, though Apple charges significantly more for the capability.
Amazon's new Ring camera encryption feature called TAKE (Throw Away the Key Encryption) temporarily stores encryption keys on Ring's servers for 24 hours to enable features like video search and smart alerts, but security researchers argue it falls far short of true end-to-end encryption and still leaves footage vulnerable to law enforcement access and mass surveillance.
