Seriously? *This* is news?

Right, so Google’s decided to add a shortcut button in Drive for video editing. A shortcut button. Groundbreaking. Apparently, you used to have to… wait for it… open the videos in another app or something equally horrific. Now, they’ve graced us with “Vids,” a little pop-up window where you can trim clips and do some basic color correction. Like every other video editor ever made, but now it’s *in* Drive. Fantastic.

It uses Google’s AI to suggest moments for cuts – because apparently we’re all too stupid to decide when a video gets boring on our own. It also lets you add music and text. Oh joy. And it works with videos up to 120 minutes long, which is… fine? I guess if you have really, *really* long home movies of your cat sleeping.

It’s rolling out “in the coming weeks” to Workspace users and then eventually everyone else. Prepare to be mildly inconvenienced less when editing videos. Or not. Honestly, who cares?

The whole thing feels like they finally realized Drive was missing a feature that literally every other cloud storage service has had for years. It’s not innovation; it’s catching up. And doing it with the usual Google flair of “we’re using AI to solve a problem nobody asked us to solve.”

Look, I once had to debug a routing issue caused by someone accidentally setting the MTU on a gigabit link to 1400 bytes. Fourteen hundred. They thought it would “make things faster.” This is about the same level of competence. Just… ugh.
