Three months after Canary officially debuted in retail stores, the home surveillance monitor today receives a major update to help it accurately identity minor motion events, such as lighting changes or television flickers. As I noted in my Canary review, I found the device to be overly sensitive; it often sent me a flood of notifications for what appeared to be nothing going on in my apartment. Today’s update hopes to better recognize small motions to alert you only when something significant is occurring.

3D Printed houses
It takes six months on average to build a house in the US. In India, where brick and cement are favored over wood, build times are usually double that, if not more. Meanwhile, a Chinese construction company assembled a 3D-printed house in just three hours. In India, constructing a house over months at a time means extended periods of noise and dust pollution, unsafe working conditions and the high costs of keeping contractors, security staff and laborers on duty. By employing 3D-printing to pre-fabricate homes, these issues can be tackled in one fell swoop. Zhouda Group, the Chinese firm behind…
