The $100 Aqara Smart Pet Feeder C1 lets your pet get in on the smart home fun

| Computer, Computers

Smart home company Aqara is bringing some connected fun to your pets. The new $99.99 Aqara Smart Pet Feeder C1 can feed your cat or dog on a schedule, remotely using its app, by a voice command with Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, and Apple’s Siri, or based on motion when connected with an Aqara motion sensor.

There are plenty of automatic pet feeders out there, but very few can integrate with smart home devices to create useful automation for feeding your pet. The C1 uses Zigbee 3.0 and requires an Aqara smart home hub (starting at $30) to connect to the internet and Aqara’s app to set up those automations.

For example, you can have an Aqara indoor camera start recording when the food is dispensed so you can check and see if your pet is eating, or a pair Aqara motion sensor to dispense food whenever your pet approaches, or send you an alert when they go to the feeder. You could even put an Aqara vibration sensor under the bowl and teach your pet to tap the bowl to get food on demand.

The Aqara pet feeder is designed for small to medium-sized pets and holds around 3.7 pounds of food.

Telegram rolls out video-to-text transcription for premium users

Telegram has updated its app with new features and visual updatesincluding the addition of voice-to-text transcription for videos, separate topics in large group chats, and “Collectible Usernames.”

Video messaging transcription can be accessed by tapping the “→A” button on the bottom-right of a video, but won’t be available for everyone — much like Telegram’s existing voice message transcription, the feature is restricted to Telegram Premium users. A Telegram Premium subscription costs $4.99 a month and comes with additional benefits such as faster downloads, no ads, and a larger file upload limit of 4GB.

Telegram has also introduced new features for free users, starting with Topics in Groups. This allows groups with over 200 members to create separate spaces that function like individual chats, with their own notifications independent from the larger Group. The set-up is similar to Discord servers that have a single overarching focus but also side channels for more specific conversations. You can test out the feature yourself in Telegram’s own public group.

Next up is Collectible Usernames, an NFT-like asset secured by the TONS of blockchain networks that can be purchased and sold via Fragment. Telegram says these vanity names can be less than five characters long and function just like regular usernames, appearing in Global Search results and generating ‘username.t.me’ and ‘t.me/username’ links that can be used outside of Telegram.

No Comments
| Computer, Computers

If you have an Apple device, your Apple ID is likely used for a lot of important things, like accessing your App Store purchases and iCloud content, locating a lost device, and more. That’s why it’s important to have a strong password that’s stored in a safe place, such as a password manager.

However, accidents happen, and you may wind up locked out of your Apple account because of a forgotten password or some other mishap. If you find yourself in this situation, don’t panic — here’s how to get back in.

Reset your Apple ID password from your iPhone, iPad, or Mac

If you’re lucky and are already logged in to an Apple device with your Apple ID, it’s relatively easy to reset your Apple ID password.

On an iPhone or iPad device:

  • Go to Settingsthen tap on the button with your name and profile picture.
  • Go to Passwords & Security Change Password.
  • You’ll be prompted to enter your passcode, and once you do, you can enter a new password for your Apple ID. (Note that this option won’t be available if you don’t have a passcode set up for your device.)

After entering your passcode, you’ll be prompted to enter a new password.

The process is very similar on a Mac.

  • Go to System Preferences Apple ID Passwords & Security.
  • Click Change Password and enter your computer’s password.
