Adobe’s plan to stick AI assistants into all of its Creative Cloud suite is now fully underway, with new chatbots now rolling out to its biggest editing and design apps. As part of a public beta launching today, Photoshop, Premiere, Illustrator, InDesign, and Frame.io now each have a bespoke AI Assistant that can be used to organize your work and automate app-specific tasks.While the AI assistants are all powered by Adobe’s “conversational creative agent,” they work independently and operate “as a specialist” within each Creative Cloud app, according to Adobe’s announcement. That means the Premiere AI assistant is fine-tuned for…
What do you call a disposable camera that you can reuse? Er, just a camera. Or in the case of this reusable disposable, the Camp Snap 2. While it looks like something you’d send off to Quicky Pix to be developed once you’d fired off your 30-odd photos, the Camp Snap 2 actually takes SD cards for you to fill with its 8MP photos. There’s no screen on the back, though, so you’ll have to frame them the old-fashioned way using the optical viewfinder. So far, so point-and-shoot, but it also has a button that lets you select one of…
Adobe is introducing some new capabilities for its Firefly AI assistant, alongside a “reimagined” AI studio that lets you edit and generate new designs from a single interface. The new Firefly experience launching today in private beta is designed to give you “persistent context, reusable assets, and organized workflows” across your projects, according to Adobe, making it easier to go from ideation to production-ready designs without switching between apps.This is the latest of several design overhauls to Adobe’s all-in-one Firefly AI hub since it was first launched in September 2023. In addition to the UI updates, the new Firefly AI…
Lego has made a frankly absurd life-size, driveable version of the Koenigsegg Sadair’s Spear from Technic parts. What’s more, Lego sent the Swedish hypercar – as well as Koenigsegg Test Driver Markus Lundh to the iconic Goodwood hill climb course in West Sussex, UK where Lundh managed to get it to 70mph/111km/h… well you didn’t expect megacar type speeds did you? It is made of Lego… The real Sadair’s Spear hypercar currently holds the Goodwood production car record with a time of 47.14 seconds up the 1.16-mile hillclimb, set last year. Made of 327,906 elements, the car weighs 1.8 tonnes including…
Anime collaborations are everywhere, from Gundam watches and Naruto nights at Major League ballparks to just about anything Evangelion. But these Ghost in the Shell keyboards from Iqunix are some of the coolest examples I’ve seen of anime-inspired everyday tech. They look sick and they type and play great. At $249 they’re a hefty upcharge over the regular $169 version, but that’s still a decent price for such excellent build quality and unique designs.The standard Iqunix EV63 that the Ghost in the Shell Edition is based on is a 65-percent Hall effect keyboard aimed at gamers. It’s got a compact…
Productivity might be front of mind for most of Stuff’s top tablet picks, but the Lenovo Tab Plus Gen 2 is all about entertainment during your down time. The 12in Android tablet is literally bulging with a whopping nine-driver speaker system and has a handy built-in kickstand for go-anywhere streaming sessions. I was a big fan of the original Lenovo Tab Plus, which found room for eight speakers inside a fairly svelte shell – but it wasn’t really much of a looker. This second generation has much more of a lifestyle vibe, with smoother lines and a white colour scheme.…
If you’ve ever wondered what you’d get if you crossed a Rubik’s Cube with a webcam there’s no need to start Frankensteining stuff together in the shed, just have a look at a Nex Playground ($250/£269). Its similarities to Ernő Rubik’s iconic tactile puzzle actually begin and end with the shape, and you won’t have much luck using it for a Zoom call, but if you want to test your goalkeeping skills or chop up virtual pineapples with your bare hands this little box has you covered. It’s essentially a repackaged Xbox Kinect that works without a console, so you…
Amazon’s Prime Day sale kicks off on June 23rd, but already we’re seeing some notable Apple deals trickle in. Whether you’re looking for a new pair of wireless earbuds or a smartwatch, many retailers are offering notable discounts ahead of the shopping event. Walmart and Amazon recently surprised us with a new all-time low on the AirPods Pro 3, bringing the earbuds down to $169, though the deal has been volatile, going in and out of stock. Meanwhile, the Apple Watch Series 11 has returned to one of its best prices to date.Of course, there’s a good chance some Apple…
We’re doing our best to mitigate the huge increases that are being passed to us, and we’ve been trying to shield our customers from the increases, but the situation has become unsustainable.Cook doesn’t say when Apple plans on raising prices or which products will be affected. The company has already stopped selling the Mac Studio with 512GB of RAM in March and later raised the starting price of the Mac Mini to $799 after dropping the cheaper $599 option from its lineup. Analyst Tim Culpan also suggested that Apple could discontinue the base configuration of the MacBook Neo, while keeping…

Though Toy Story 5 is a continuation of Woody and Buzz’s adventures in humanland, it is also a poignant exploration of what it’s like for kids to grow up in a world where they’re often encouraged to experience life through screens. The movie frames tech as an almost inescapable element of our reality that can hurt us in ways that outweigh its potential benefits. But its story highlights how — for all of tech’s potential to do harm — we still have the ability to choose when and how we let newfangled devices into our personal lives.Set a few years…
