Starting immediately for new subscribers, Nest Aware will cost $10 a month, a $2-a-month increase, while a year's worth of the plan will cost $100, a $20 annual price hike.
Meanwhile, the step-up Nest Aware Plus plan now goes for $20 a month, versus the previous $15-a-month rate, while the annual Nest Aware Plus plan is going up to $200, a $50-a-year increase.
Current Nest Aware subscribers will get hit with the price hikes on their first bill after August 15, or after their promotional period expire.
If Google's price hikes for its Nest Aware Plus plans look steep, they are—think a 33-percent increase for both the monthly and annual plans, while cheaper Nest Aware plans are only (only?) going up 25 percent.
In an email shared on Reddit, Google told customers that it "remain[s] committed to helping you get the most out of your Nest devices and will continue to bring new features and innovations over time."
The last time Google raised prices on Nest Aware users was back in September 2023, when it hiked monthly Nest Aware prices to $8 a month, a $2-a-month increase, while monthly Nest Aware Plus plans went up to $15 a month, up $3 a month.

The votes are in and residents of a small swath of southern Texas are in favor of Starbase becoming a real city. The newly-designated city is home to SpaceX and many of its employees, and it's where Elon Musk's company builds rocket engines, launches spacecraft and manufactures other space-related tech. According to the final vote tally, 212 residents voted in favor of incorporating as Starbase, while six voted against the measure — but, it's worth noting that most of the eligible voters in the locale are SpaceX employees and only 143 votes were needed to make Starbase a city.
Musk celebrated on X, while the city also made its first post, stating that "becoming a city will help us continue building the best community possible for the men and women building the future of humanity's place in space." The idea for Starbase dates back to March 2021, when Musk first teased the idea on what was then Twitter. Now that the vote has taken place, Starbase will be separated from Cameron County as its own roughly 1.5-square mile city. This designation is particularly important considering SpaceX may be able to circumvent governmental red tape when it comes to scheduling rocket launches. Previously, Musk's company had to get permission from county authorities to close a nearby highway or restrict public access to Boca Chica Beach and Boca Chica State Park for rocket launches.
While the vote to designate Starbase as an official Texas city passed, county commissioners and judges still need to declare the election results official, according to Remi Garza, the elections admin

Your enterprise security does not live in isolation — the threat environment extends across all your colleagues, partners, and friends.
That's why it's very concerning that so many businesses continue to fail to meet basic security hygiene standards, according to the latest Security 360 report from Jamf.
Data is gold, which attackers recognize — even many in business don't. Every stolen address, email, phone number, name, or even passport number is an ID attack waiting to happen, a path to enable a more complex phishing scam, or just an opportunity to call someone up and claim the target has a problem with their computer that they can help them with.
