Amazon wants to monitor your sleep with radar, too

Google's latest Nest Hub can track your sleep with the help of radar. It looks like Amazon wants in on this tech. The company received an FCC waiver that allows it to use 60GHz radar for sleep tracking. The company isn't shy about drawing comparisons to Google, citing the Pixel 4's radar as an example when asking for the waiver.

As Engadget noted, the tech can be used for gesture navigation, which can be helpful for people with speech or mobility impairments that prevents them from using conventional commands.

Amazon hasn't specified much about what products will use radar tracking. But it described the devices as "non-mobile," suggesting they could be placed permanently on, say, your nightstand like its Echo devices. We're going to watch for any updates from the company on this front.

Twitter reportedly testing out Sign in With Apple feature

App researcher Jane Manchun Wong has discovered that Twitter is trying to let you sign into the app with your Apple ID. An evidence Wong has included a new "Connected accounts" option with Apple listed as a signing-in option. Twitter explains, "These are the social accounts you connected to your Twitter account to log in. You can disable access here."

Apple does offer this option to apps and sites, but it isn't a requirement. To use Sign in with Apple, you need to use two-factor authentication and be signed in to iCloud with that Apple ID on your device. Twitter has been using its own sign-in systems so far, but perhaps that might change in the future.
