The latest entrant in this space is Bee, and it has raised $7 million in a round led by Exor to build out its wearable AI assistant that listens to you to learn more about you, take notes, surface contextual reminders, and build lists.” [// TechCrunch »]( [/innovation] [Adobe - Finally, creative AI integrations that just *get it* | [Partner]](1011lAmJz/pubref:FUT-AGENCY-EML-080124/destination:) [Finally, creative AI integrations that just *get it*](1011lAmJz/pubref:FUT-AGENCY-EML-080124/destination:) Imagine a beautiful future where you don’t have to spend as much time explaining things to AI as you would’ve spent just doing it yourself.

But for some workers — perhaps more than ever in our always-on, always-connected world — the drive to send one more email, clip one more poodle, sink one more shot becomes all-consuming. Workaholism is a common feature of the modern workplace. A recent review gauging its pervasiveness across occupational fields and cultures found that roughly 15% of workers qualify as workaholics. That adds up to millions of overextended employees around the world who don’t know when — or how, or why — to quit.” [// Knowable Magazine »]( [/travel] [StackSocial - How to use your own earbuds or headphones on your next flight | [Partner] ]( [Want to use your own headphones on your next flight? Yeah, you do]( Raise your hand if you like shoddy airplane headphones. Oh, no one’s raising their hands? Yeah, that’s because they suck.

Plug this Bluetooth transmitter into your seat’s Aux jack, and boom, now you can use your own earbuds on the plane.

Even if you just stick to the canon stuff, it can be overwhelming, especially if you’re trying to figure out how to watch Star Wars in order. But before we dive in, we’ll emphasize that there really isn’t a ‘correct’ viewing order. There are several ways to enjoy the Star Wars universe as you proceed along your Jedi journey, and you may even be able to create your own method.” [// Popular Science »]( [/bites] [// With more and more multiplayer Switch games coming out, you’re gonna need more controllers.
