Deadpool 2 is expected to be released in a couple of months, but it seems that there will be some last minute reshoots. According to a report from Collider, it appears that the movie will be getting some reshoots, but the report also refutes some of the rumors swirling about that the movie is getting reshot due to poor testing.

For those hearing about this for the first time, the rumors are claiming that testing for Deadpool 2 went poorly, which is why the studio has decided to order reshoots in hopes that it will screen better upon its release. However Collider claims that isn’t the case, and that apparently the movie tested around 90-91 out of a possible score of a 100.

Instead it seems that some of the comments made during the screening was that there wasn’t enough of Cable or Domino in the movie, who for those unfamiliar are new additions to the Deadpool movie and are played by Josh Brolin and Zazie Beetz respectively. It seems that audiences wanted to see more of those characters, and so the reshoots are to accommodate for that.

Of course we will never know how different the original movie is compared to the version that will be released, but we suppose it’s not necessarily a bad thing to see more different types of characters in the movie. Deadpool 2 is currently set for a release on the 18th of May, right between Avengers: Infinity War and Solo: A Star Wars Story.

Back in September of last year, Nest announced its first smart doorbell. When it would actually ship, however, was left sort of up in the air; all the company said at the time was to expect it sometime in Q1 of 2018.

Turns out, that means today. The Nest doorbell — or the Nest Hello, as it’s known — is now shipping for $229.

Nest also mentioned a few other bits of news:

• The front door lock/touchpad they built in partnership with Yale, also announced back in September of last year, is now shipping
• They’re now making external, wireless, battery-powered temperature sensors for the Nest Thermostat (previously, the thermostat only really cared about the temperature of whichever room it was in). You can add up to six sensors. One sensor will cost $39, or a three pack goes for $99. The sensor (pictured at the bottom of this post) is a simple white puck, just a bit over an inch wide.

Not unlike the now Amazon-owned Ring, the Hello’s primary purpose is to let you know when someone rings the doorbell, and to let you see and communicate with them by way of the built-in camera/microphone/speaker rig. Out of the box, sans subscriptions, Nest will store the video of who rang your doorbell for 3 hours; if you want to access it beyond that, you’ll need a monthly Nest Aware subscription.

In most cases, hooking up the Hello should be a matter of popping out your old doorbell and wiring up the new one; it pulls its power from the same wiring setup that most doorbells use, and it should play friendly with any in-door chimes you probably already have in place.

Its got a 3-megapixel camera (with infrared night vision) for 1600×1200 video at 30 frames per second, a 160º field of view, and 802.11 a/b/g/n WiFi. Unlike some competitors, it doesn’t have a battery — so you’ll need that aforementioned power line.

With that said, it’s got a few tricks I haven’t seen with others in the space, like a “Quiet time” mode for when you (or, say, your baby) are sleeping. It’ll still buzz your phone, but in-door chimes won’t go ringin’ away. Pre-recorded messages, meanwhile, let you communicate with delivery people and anyone else who might be hanging around your porch during those times when shouting “PLEASE LEAVE THE PACKAGE ON THE PORCH I’LL GRAB IT SHORTLY” might feel a bit weird.

We should have one to check out before too long, so expect a review as soon as we’ve put it through the paces.

Thanks for sharing, Armie.

They’re filling out a different kind of bracket.

The smart home security market is about to heat up. Amazon just recently acquired Ring, undoubtedly in direct opposition to Google who of course owns Nest. Not too long after the latter launched the Nest Hello, it is coming out with a complement to its smart doorbell camera. Partnering with famed lock maker Yale, the Google subsidiary has just revealed … Continue reading
