It's called Handy, and it uses AI models to accurately convert your speaking voice into text--all for free. If old sci-fi shows are anything to go by, we're all using our computers wrong. We're still typing with our fingers, like cave people, instead of talking out loud the way the future was supposed to be. Have you ever seen Picard touch a keyboard?

Gear News of the Week: Matter 1.5 Adds Smart Home Camera Support, and Gemini Comes to Android Auto Plus: Omega debuts a new Seamaster Planet Ocean, and DJI has a new action camera. The promise of interoperability for your smart home gadgets that Matter was supposed to bring has been a slow process, but it is starting to deliver, and the addition of cameras in the 1.5 release may be its biggest win yet. The Connectivity Standards Alliance (CSA) says the latest release supports all kinds of cameras, so we're talking indoor security cameras, outdoor security cameras, video doorbells, baby monitors, and pet cameras . This could vastly improve a seriously fractured landscape, enabling you to easily add and access your cameras on whatever platform you choose.

It was called Swatch x You, and it let you tweak Swatch's standard New Gent 41-mm model by selecting one of the (surprisingly limited) preset designs, which you could then move, zoom, and rotate to fit over the watch and strap.

The automaker has taken the covers off its Cayenne Electric and Cayenne Turbo Electric, the most powerful production Porsches ever. But it won't confirm a key AI feature of its first fully electric SUV. In the first nine months of 2025, Porsche's operating profit plummeted by 99 percent compared to the same stint the year before.

If done right, the AI revolution will free us from their merciless tyranny. Instead, you activate various wearables embedded in your body and have a series of conversations with inanimate objects.
