tidied up my site a bit https://t.co/46xVPxYka0

@imikerussell I'm not talking about their model, but their platform (confusingly named, I know).

Technically been available from their apps and firefly directly for a while. But it's not really designed well so barely anyone uses their credits

[Keith Hawkins @kph_practice]

One of the better implementations of AI from Adobe, as they really dropped the ball on GenAI.

Firefly is pants, no node tools are available and to be honest, everyone is waiting for the day they can stop subscribing. So this is very much needed

Adobe MAX today - MCP for the whole creative suite.

Auto-preparing Illustrator files by color layers for screen printing, full premiere editing, Lightroom batch editing

Removing all the painful parts of the workflow

Rockstar are going to have the office party of the century

[Keith Hawkins @kph_practice]

Well this is a shame. The @Apple WebKit back-end for all the Figma apps out there keep hitting some sort of RAM limitation, so the pages just completely refresh mere seconds into using them.

Native @figma on iPadOS pleeeease

[Keith Hawkins @kph_practice]

My MacBook has been sent off for repair, so now my iPad M4 is the new main.

Seems… OK so far?

[Keith Hawkins @kph_practice]

@efficientlab1 @funkentechno Thank you, I'm going to give that a look - seems to use SMB instead of Navidrome or Subsonic from what I can see?

I've been using Arpeggi and Navibeat lately but always keeping the options open

[Keith Hawkins @kph_practice]

@funkentechno Ah right, it looks great - Windows only though!
Navidrome has been super as it means your library (incl. playlist, favs, recently played) are all synced and accessible on any device. Closest thing to your private streaming service, but apps are still yet to mature for it

truly a shattering blow for the labour government https://t.co/dYOQerXyDo

how agencies see me when I'm giving feedback on their retail design creatives

[Keith Hawkins @kph_practice]

Mad how we're in this era of user-customisable software.

People remixing their video games.
Replacing cursed TV OS with what we should have.
Creating apps for any need or pain point.
Cloned multi-billion moated software suites.

Weird and wacky days ahead.

Been an absolute joy to be working in-house at @Nike again, this time with the amazing training team for the launch of the Hybrid RN.

Loads more on their Instagram page!

@ssamat Because I have data retention turned off, it's broken all the voice commands in my @PolestarCars P2. It's dangerous — I can't type info into the car while I'm driving.

Great on paper but actually really damaged a critical daily use-case

[Keith Hawkins @kph_practice]

did you know if you don't allow data retention in @GeminiApp, all the @Android Auto OS services don't work. Try it with Maps. My @PolestarCars infotainment became functionally useless all day today 😔

[Keith Hawkins @kph_practice]

Every year I have to speak up about ESCC neglect. Street gullies are forbidden too. So what else is someone supposed to do?

[Keith Hawkins @kph_practice]

7:30am: @TeslaCharging Flimwell full. MFG Bexhill constantly rammed. Hastings & St L still have ZERO council on-street chargers.

@EastSussexCC took £4.4m in Feb 2024 promising 2024/25 delivery. It’s Oct 2026. Where are the chargers? @helenadollimore @TransportGovUK @OZEVgovuk

On starting to catch-up with the big boys on the amount of inventory hitting the sales racks...

[Keith Hawkins @kph_practice]

every day @eBay_UK becomes more bloated and awful to use.

and to make it worse, you cannot remove or opt out of @eBay live...

[Keith Hawkins @kph_practice]

my Nathan For You pitch to Burberry: capture the East London market.
