Google Vids is the company's web-based video editor, and you can now use it for free. Up until now, Vids was available only for paying Google Workspace subscribers, but this move makes it accessible to everyone. The pitch here is quite simple: Vids is a simple video editing tool that integrates extremely well with Google Drive. You can use basic editing tools and templates for free, and if you're a paying Google subscriber, then you can use its AI features, too. Before you get too excited about Google Vids, though, you should know that it's not a replacement for professional editing software. It's more intended as a good place to get started, a bit like what Windows Movie Maker used to be about 15 years ago. You can do a lot with Google Vids, but if you're a professional, you'll hit the li...

Did you know you can customize Google to filter out garbage? Take these steps for better search results, including adding my work at Lifehacker as a preferred source.Apple has big plans for the next few years. That's according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, who has a good track record for covering Apple leaks and rumors. Gurman's most substantial details right now concern a three-year plan to upgrade the iPhone line, but there are rumors to explore that cover almost the entirety of the company's product line. As with any coverage of leaks and rumors, this is not meant to be definitive. Apple could end up doing all, some, or none of these things. While some predictions here are likelier than others, we just won't know what Apple's plans are until the company makes them official over the comin...

If you want to get anything done around the house—whether it’s basic maintenance or ambitious DIY renovations—you’re going to need some good-quality tools to do it.

Google’s Pixel 10 phones made their official debut this week, and with them, a bunch of generative AI features baked directly into the camera app. It’s normal for phones to use “computational photography” these days, a fancy term for all those lighting and post-processing effects they add to your pics as you snap them. But AI makes computational photography into another beast entirely, and it's one I’m not sure we’re ready for.Tech nerds love to ask ourselves “what is a photo?” kind of joking that the more post-processing gets added to a picture, the less it resembles anything that actually happened in real life. Night skies being too bright, faces having fewer blemishes than a mirror would show, that sort of thing. Generative AI in the camera app is like the final boss of that moral conun...
