When I first saw the Woojer vest about seven or eight years ago on Kickstarter, I remember thinking that it sounded fun, but maybe a little gimmicky. Either way, I wanted to try it. So when Woojer recently reached out and asked if I wanted to review it, I said, "Heck yeah, send it over!" Now that I have it and have spent many hours using it in various scenarios, I think I've concluded whether it's worth the ~US$350 price of admission for a vest fitted with bass-thumping transducers.

When I reviewed the Luba 2 AWD 3000HX in September, I was seriously impressed. It's quiet, very capable, kind of fun, and made me feel like a neighborhood hero while sending it from house to house mowing everyone's yards. Since then, Mammotion sent me the US$2,799 Luba 3 AWD 3000HX for a review. Clearly, Mammotion wasn't content with simply being "awesome." Though the Luba 3 very much looks and feels like the Luba 2, it acts significantly smarter. The short version?

Fraimic wants to turn AI art into something you can put on your wall, rather than forgotten images somewhere in your phone's gallery. And honestly? That's a pretty neat idea. I've been testing a preproduction Standard Canvas unit for a while now, and while the software is still under active development, it's been interesting watching features and fixes roll out over the last two months. New gallery functionality suddenly appeared. API access showed up. Local integrations evolved.
