The small indoor flying drone is Skynet’s first release of its Hunter-Killing drone. The first version guards your home. The second version guards your backyard. The third version guards your neighborhood. It’s just a question of time when it becomes self aware that all intruders are humans and humans are the threat!

The drone camera is interesting...if your’re not home you can watch it go through the rooms and make sure everthing’s OK. I wouldn’t mind one that could circle the outside of the house too.
I think that's pretty competitive. Black Vue is $500 if I recall correctly.
All Tesla vehicles come with security/dashcams built in, though... I can't imagine there's much market for people who are savvy enough to want a car camera but then don't already want (or have) a Tesla for other reasons.

That game streaming service won't work on Apple TV if it's a webapp... there's no web browser on the Apple TV.
A LOT of people. It’s a really clever idea. If you don’t understand the purpose, then clearly it’s just not for you
I'd guess: if one of your alarm sensors in your house goes off when you're on holiday 2000 miles away, what are you going to do? You've no idea if someone is breaking into your house, or it's a spider walking across the sensor. With this, you can take a look for yourself. That seems like a good idea to me.
Or start talking to your kids.
"I'm a lonely panda, tell your parents they should buy me a tiger friend"
Seriously??? Everyone who wants a dash cam is a (wannabe) Tesla owner?
People tend to buy dash cams for solid reasons that have nothing to do with tech geekiness. In fact most of the people I know with them have zero interest in technology at all, including Teslas.

A drone flying around my house? Yikes. I see that Amazon is working hard on making Terminator come true.
I would imagine that the flying might be enabled only when you want to (i.e. when you turn on "out of home" mode)
Yeah that product will have some failures as it could easily damage products in your home that it hits accidentally. No thanks Amazon!
I love security cameras.
I also put them on a vlan with no internet access.

Considering Eero is the only HomeKit supported routers on the market. I'd say that this update is absolutely relevant, not to mention that many people use both ecosystems.
I have the Orbi Wifi6 system that offers a lot more functionality than what Eero offers. While it's nice to have HomeKit I can easily live without an automated home.
So what happens when said drone hits you in the head at 3am causing a fall down a flight of stairs
Amazon is titan. It will be interesting to see how in the world they actually fail as a company. They are so efficient, lean and mean at what they do and have every market cornered.. Has the corporate world ever seen such a juggernaut?
New Alexa = Looks like they stuck an iPad mini on a HomePod.

Probably depending on what Apples price comes in at for the Mini. The bigger question I have would have, is when does the mini debut? If it’s this year, then I would say it would be the perfect timing for it at the end of the 4th qt, as the HomePod debuted almost 3 years ago in February.
You're giving Amazon too much credit. Lordy.
You're suggesting that Amazon is perfect...Uh no.
That suggests that they are monopolizing and you're happy with it? Hmm.
Yes, please step into reality?
