Snap just launched a new Quick Cut video editing tool right inside Snapchat that "helps Snapchatters turn their favorite Memories into beat-synced, ready-to-share videos in seconds."With Quick Cut, you can select multiple photos or clips and then "instantly preview a rendered video," and the feature is accessible from multiple places in the app, including from Memories and your camera roll.

On Wednesday evening, OpenAI launched an App Directory to browse all the tools currently available and opened its SDK for developers to build new interactive experiences that operate within the bot's UI. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said last month that "We are planning to build the obvious features that you would expect for a robust platform over time," and opening an app store is certainly a huge step in that direction.Another change is that OpenAI has renamed the "connectors" that helped users pull data from other services (like Google Drive or Dropbox) into ChatGPT, and is now calling those apps too.

The 10,000mAh Kuxiu S3 uses the same solid-liquid mixed electrolyte found in the S2, making it less prone to thermal runaway than the all-liquid Lithium-ion batteries found in most power banks. Kuxiu says its unique semi-solid state chemistry also lasts twice as long, making it good f …Read the full story at The Verge.

I test a lot of productivity tools, and while a handful are impressive enough to stick around, it’s rare for one to replace my long-time go-tos — let alone stay in my workflow years later.

I really enjoy learning about different materials that you can 3D print with. Sure, we're all familiar with resin and filament, but would you eat a steak that was created with a 3D meat printer? That's the kind of stuff I'm really interested in, especially if they have the potential to change how we live and how things get made.
