Get Pizza Hut or Domino's delivered using just your voice

Any day you’re craving some pie, getting it fast is a must. If you have Alexa or Google Assistant, ordering your favorite pizza is just a few commands away. Here’s how to order two of the top brands using just your voice and a smart speaker, like Google Home or Echo Dot.

How to order Pizza Hut with a smart speaker

If Pizza Hut is your choice for hot slices, you can order using Alexa or Google Assistant. To order Pizza Hut using Alexa, you’ll first need to get the Pizza Hut skill. Click on Enable, then you’ll be taken to a screen to link your Pizza Hut account to your Alexa account. Once everything is linked, you can create a new order using Alexa, or reorder one of your previous orders. You can say, “Alexa, open Pizza Hut,” and “Alexa, ask Pizza Hut to place an order,” or “Alexa, ask Pizza Hut to reorder.”

Echo Show 21 vs. Echo Show 15 (2nd Gen): which is best for your smart home?
Amazon's new Echo Show 21 and updated Echo Show 15.

Amazon just released two new smart displays -- the completely new Echo Show 21 and the updated Echo Show 15 (2nd Gen). Both are premium options for your home, offering powerful speakers, Full HD displays, and heaps of useful apps so you can stream videos or check your schedule. But which is the better option? The gigantic Echo Show 21, or the updated Echo Show 15 (2nd Gen)? Here’s a closer look at both to help you decide.
Pricing and design

The Echo Show 21 is the biggest member of the Echo Show family, and it’s got the price tag to prove it. Clocking in at $400, it’s a hefty investment. Its design is pretty premium, however, and it can be either mounted on a wall or placed on a table with an adjustable stand (sold separately). The Echo Show 15 looks much the same, though it’s quite a bit smaller. But from a design standpoint, it’s essentially a shrunken version of the Echo Show 21. It too can be mounted on a wall or placed on a table with an optional adjustable stand. But at $300, it’s much easier on the wallet.

Your Google TV can now control smart home devices
The Home Panel on Google TV Streamer.

In late September, Google announced a new feature for Google TV called the Home Panel that would make it easier to control all of your (compatible) smart home devices from a single location. The feature first appeared on the Google TV Streamer and then later on Chromecast, but it has now rolled out to Google TVs from other companies including Hisense, TCL, and others.

The Home Panel offers a lot of utility. It shows your lights' current brightness level, the volume level of speakers, and even live streams from security cameras. The demo video Google has on its blog shows that the user can even adjust the thermostat. All of this is done through the remote, so you don't even have to get up off the couch.

Ring’s new Smart Video Search uses AI to quickly scour your motion history
Ring Smart Video Search on the mobile app.

Ring has revealed a new AI-powered feature called Smart Video Search that’s currently being tested in public beta. The goal is to make it easier than ever to find specific moments in your video history by allowing you to enter a text description of an event, which will then be used to scour your motion events for a clip that matches your input.

Smart Video Search uses a combination of Ring AI and Visual Language Modeling (VLM) to quickly search your video history based on a text description. For example, if you search for “red bicycle in the driveway,” your Ring app will automatically pull up any clips that feature -- you guessed it -- a red bike in your driveway.
