Your Ring doorbell may be doing more than watching porch pirates. This week, we break down how home cameras became part of a giant surveillance web, why smart glasses keep trying to make “face cameras” happen and how AI tools can now drop you into someone else’s YouTube video. Normal stuff.

Also this week: Iranian hackers targeting water systems, Snap’s pricey new smart glasses, robot beggars, and the phrases that get you past customer-service bots.

Plus, a caller asks how to save old Betamax tapes, and a granddaughter goes viral teaching her 102-year-old grandpa how to order Uber Eats.
