1. The photos and videos of Amazon’s new home robot emerge:
Amazon’s new home robot that goes by Astro is seen for the first time in the real world. The robot is in its early stages of development, and it is being given only on an invite basis. The gadget was sent last November, and about a couple of images and videos have been shared just recently.
Those who have received the smart home gadget have begun posting images and videos of the robot fulfilling the commands given to it by the owners. One such owner is Bob Rekieta, whose video of the robot can be seen fetching a can of beer for him.
Someone would have kept the beer in Astro’s onboard cargo holder as it doesn’t have advanced physical or technological abilities to do such a thing just yet. In another video by Matthew Nereim, Astro is seen following Nereim around, who has said that he likes that the robot can be controlled from his phone.
There are quite a few features that make the robot a delightful addition to any house. It can be used for home security apart from making video calls, playing music, answering questions, and showing the weather. Amazon has said that it is ideal for taking care of ageing people. Astro is currently priced at $1499. This latest Technology News is indeed worth knowing.
2. Apple introduces anti-stalking measured for its new AirTags:
Apple launched the updates to iOS 15.4 that aimed to prevent the misuse of AirTags as stalking devices and a warning that the AirTags are linked to Apple IDs.
Earlier, news reports informed how individuals were tracked without their consent using the AirTags. The new safety features were added soon after. The new features include an alerting system that would inform a user of an unknown AirTag in its vicinity. Earlier, this same system was confusing, and the ability to preemptively disable safety alerts has also been removed. The airbag will also be able to make an alert noise to be brought to attention.
Another feature added to the iOS 15.4 is that it has an American Siri voice so that is more gender ambiguous. There is also the feature of using Face ID while wearing a mask and the new Universal Control feature. The new iOS 15.4 will be released sometime next month.
