Reviewers describe Google as a fast, reliable default for search, research, navigation, email, storage, and collaboration, with many saying its services work smoothly together across devices. Search accuracy, quick answers, Maps, Drive, Gmail, and Docs come up repeatedly as everyday strengths, while AI features are seen as making results smarter. The main complaints are consistent too: privacy, data collection, ads, and weak direct support. Some also mention dated or awkward interfaces in places and occasional gaps in maps or search personalization.
Google's Nest Doorbell just got a lot easier to own: battery-powered, no wiring required, and smarter than anything else at the door.
Most video doorbells either need an electrician to install or send you a flood of useless motion alerts every time a leaf blows past. Nest Doorbell runs on a built-in rechargeable battery and uses on-device AI to tell the difference between what actually matters and what doesn't.

Is there a way to disable it from sending my neighbours behaviour to a tech company, the US government and local law enforcement, so only I can access the data?

Cool, because it's difficult to get wiring done sometimes outside of home. A battery-operated doorbell with a camera and audio essentially can help prevent the wiring.
