Soli is such cool technology. I'm glad to see it make a return in the new Nest Hub as an alternative to having a camera for sleep tracking (with Google Fit integration!) and gestures. Although maybe a gesture to snooze your alarm is a bit too convenient...https://t.co/mTO5bvSBpV

Google's latest home hubs have integrated radar that monitors your movements in the night, tracking your quality of sleep "down to your breathing patterns" - totally normal, cheery stuffhttps://t.co/PUAqN5oVOb

Sleep experts: avoid putting screens by your bed, it's bad for you in every way.

Google: Yo put this thing by your bed for sleep tracking because we need to validate Soli's existence.https://t.co/doQ7BxbCeq

Soli radar sensors are back for sleep tracking on the newest Google Nest Hub. Reminds me of a phone app I tried a while ago. Curious to know how in-depth this could theoretically get https://t.co/Ax9Z8xKKSu

the new Nest Hub will be able to track your sleep ... with no need to wear anything on your wrist ... just go to sleep and it will do the "rest," so to say... can't wait to test this out!https://t.co/SrUQwdVM9X

It's time for a transparent, open-source alternative to Google Nest and its evil imitators.

Yes to smart appliances and energy efficiency. A hard no to letting evil tech companies control and monitor every aspect of our home lives.https://t.co/JXtqWIgjOP

I sort of expected Google to add a camera to the 2nd-gen Nest Hub, given its aggressive push to make Meet happen. Instead, the company added radar.

Senior PM Ashton Udall told me there wasn't much of a fight over the camera. https://t.co/Z1TGMNMAY9 pic.twitter.com/VD39v6cSHU

Great, because Google isn’t tracking enough in my life already. https://t.co/ZofYZUetKW

All the headlines are about the new sleep tracking feature but imo the most important thing is the processor bump, the old ones were starting to get slow with all the stuff Google has added to the platform https://t.co/sqO8gnhHiy
