This Battery-Powered Doorbell Now Costs Peanuts, Amazon Is Clearing Out Google's Stock

When it comes to home security and convenience, the battery-powered Google Nest Doorbell is a top choice for many and for good reason. This device offers the flexibility of battery power which makes it perfect for those who want a smart doorbell without the hassle of wiring—something especially appealing if you're not comfortable working with electrical systems.
With this model, installation is as simple as mounting the device to your door frame and you're set. No drilling holes, no complicated wiring: just immediate, reliable access to (Wi-Fi) live video and smart alerts. It's this ease of use that has helped the Google Nest Doorbell consistently rank among the top 10 best-selling doorbells on Amazon, a testament to its popularity and effectiveness.
Now, Amazon has cut the price of the battery-powered Google Nest Doorbell down to as little as $129 from the original launch price of $179. This battery model is especially attractive because it's for renters or whoever doesn't want to make any such permanent changes to their home. The battery life is amazing, typically months between recharging depending on usage, so you're not continually removing and plugging in the device.

Easy to Use Doorbell
The Google Nest Doorbell features that make it one of the smartest and simplest-to-use doorbells on the market. It has live HD video with HDR and night vision so you can watch what's happening at your door at any time. The camera's high vertical field of view makes it easy to capture individuals from head to foot or packages fallen on the floor and eliminates blind spots and not letting you miss anything. Doorbell is equipped with intelligence that enables it to detect people, packages, pets, and vehicles and send you customized notifications in the Google Home app – no subscription required.
The device works with any door and you can even install it yourself in just minutes. If your Wi-Fi goes out or you lose electricity, the doorbell will buffer an hour of recorded events so you can always know what you missed. For additional needs, you can pay for a Nest Aware subscription (bought separately) to see as much as 60 days' worth of event video history, though note that the battery model doesn't come with constant 24/7 recording even in the event of a subscription.
At its current price, it's one of the best deals you'll find for a smart doorbell.

Here are 10 stocks Goldman Sachs expects to be winners after a wild first half for the market

Goldman Sachs just updated one of its stock baskets with its picks for the highest risk-adjusted returns. The basket has outperformed the S&P 500 so far this year, gaining 3% year-to-date. The S&P 500's overall risk-adjusted return has been lower than usual so far this year, strategists said. It's been a volatile year for stock traders, but there are a handful of new winners in the S&P 500 that could be poised for big gains over the next 12 months, according to Goldman Sachs. In a note to clients on Friday, the bank said it updated its Sharpe Ratio basket, a list of 50 stocks with the highest expected risk-adjusted returns. So far, the basket has gained 3% year-to-date, edging past the S&P 500's 1.7% gain. The S&P 500's overall risk-adjusted return has been "lower than usual" so far in 2025, the strategists said, pointing to increased volatility and lower-than-average returns stemming from fears around tariffs. The bank rebalanced its portfolio by choosing stocks with a high prospective Sharpe Ratio, a gauge for risk-adjusted returns calculated by dividing a percentage return to a stock's consensus 12-month price target by its six-month option-implied volatility. "Currently, the median S&P 500 stock is expected to post an 11% return to its 12-month consensus price target with a 6-month implied volatility of 28, yielding a prospective risk-adjusted return of 0.4," the bank wrote. Here are the top 10 newest additions to Goldman's Sharpe basket. Ticker: MRNA Return to consensus price target: 88% Expected return over implied volatility: 1.3 Ticker: VTRS Return to consensus price target: 61% Expected return over implied volatility: 1.5 Ticker: ENPH Return from consensus price target: 45% Expected return over implied volatility: 0.6 Ticker: PCG Return to consensus price target: 45% Expected return over implied volatility: 1.1 Ticker: TMO Return to consensus price target: 42% Expected return over implied volatility: 1.2 Ticker: FI Return to consensus price target: 37% Expected return over implied volatility: 1.2 Ticker: COO Return to consensus price target: 37% Expected return over implied volatility: 1.2 Ticker: CRM Return to consensus price target: 37% Expected return over implied volatility: 1.1 Ticker: LEN Return to consensus price target: 34% Expected return over implied volatility: 0.9 Ticker: EPAM Return to consensus price target: 33% Expected return over implied volatility: 0.8 Read the original article on Business Insider

Meta's CTO says OpenAI's Sam Altman countered Meta's massive AI signing bonuses

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said Meta was trying to poach AI talent with $100M signing bonuses. Meta CTO Andrew Bosworth told CNBC that Altman didn't mention how OpenAI was countering offers. Bosworth said the market rate he's seeing for AI talent has been "unprecedented." OpenAI's Sam Altman recently called Meta's attempts to poach top AI talent from his company with $100 million signing bonuses "crazy." Andrew Bosworth, Meta's chief technology officer, says OpenAI has been countering those crazy offers. Bosworth said in an interview with CNBC's "Closing Bell: Overtime" on Friday that Altman "neglected to mention that he's countering those offers." The OpenAI CEO recently disclosed how Meta was offering massive signing bonuses to his employees during an interview on his brother's podcast, "Uncapped with Jack Altman." The executive said "none of our best people" had taken Meta's offers, but he didn't say whether OpenAI countered the signing bonuses to retain those top employees. OpenAI and Meta did not respond to requests for comment. The Meta CTO said these large signing bonuses are a sign of the market setting a rate for top AI talent. "The market is setting a rate here for a level of talent which is really incredible and kind of unprecedented in my 20-year career as a technology executive," Bosworth said. "But that is a great credit to these individuals who, five or six years ago, put their head down and decided to spend their time on a then-unproven technology which they pioneered and have established themselves as a relatively small pool of people who can command incredible market premium for the talent they've raised." Meta, on June 12, announced that it had bought a 49% stake in Scale AI, a data company, for $14.8 billion as the social media company continues its artificial intelligence development. Business Insider's chief media and tech correspondent Peter Kafka noted that the move appears to be an expensive acquihire of Scale AI's CEO, Alexandr Wang, and some of the data company's top executives. Bosworth told CNBC that the large offers for AI talent will encourage others to build their expertise and, as a result, the numbers will look different in a couple of years. "But today, it's a relatively small number and I think they've earned it," he said. Read the original article on Business Insider
