Prego's Connection Keeper: A Limited-Run Tabletop Recorder for Family Dinners

Prego, in partnership with StoryCorps, has launched the Connection Keeper—a limited-edition, puck-shaped recording device that sits on the table to capture smartphone-free family chats. It records locally to a 16GB microSD card (up to eight hours), charges via USB-C, and offers prompts to spark conversation; there’s no screen or internet connectivity. Priced at $20, fewer than 100 units went on sale April 27. Recordings can be kept private in the StoryCorps portal or uploaded to the public archive starting May 4, but sharing should follow consent as anything uploaded becomes accessible online. The device draws inspiration from pasta sauce lids and remains a niche, novelty product.

"AI-Powered Wearable Pendant: Your Personal Memory Assistant"

The new AI-powered Limitless pendant, available for pre-order at $99, clips onto clothing and records conversations throughout the day, serving as a memory aid and personal assistant. It features a "Consent Mode" to only capture the voices of those who have given consent, but questions remain about how it handles multiple voices and the legality of recording in different states. The pendant offers unlimited audio storage and AI functionality for $20 a month, with the first units expected to ship in August.

Hidden Camera Scandal: Hospital Staff Recorded in Restrooms by Doctor and Intruder

A man named Andrew Matthews, a former resident trainee at Ochsner Medical Center in Jefferson Parish, Louisiana, was arrested after a recording device was found concealed in a "staff only" bathroom. The device contained dozens of videos taken inside the restroom, and Matthews has been charged with 10 counts of video voyeurism. The investigation is ongoing, and more charges are expected.
