    Ford is scaling back F-150 Lightning production even more.

    The automaker says it’s reducing production of the F-150 Lightning as expected EV sales in 2024 are “less than anticipated.” It’s shifting workers to its facilities working on the gas-powered Ranger and Bronco instead.

    Last month, Ford said it would cut production of its EV pickup from 3,200 per week to around 1,600 amidst slowing demand.

    Will you let Bard write a text to friends?

    9to5Google found code within the Google Messages app that suggests it’s going to add Bard to “help you write messages, translate languages, identify images, and explore interests.” The feature, codenamed “penpal,” will reportedly put Bard in a standalone chat where you can ask it to generate ideas, identify images, and make suggestions.

    Samsung’s new AI photo editing tools will automatically place a watermark in the corner of your image to indicate AI was involved. However, one user found that you can get rid of the watermark by using Samsung’s object erase tool — which also uses AI.

    Instagram is working to expand HDR photo support to more devices.

    Samsung announced yesterday that its new Galaxy S24 would become the first device to be able to post and view photos in HDR on Instagram. But this feature may be arriving on more devices soon, according to Meta spokesperson Cullen Heaney:

    Samsung is the first manufacturer we’ve worked with to make this feature available, meaning SG24 users are the first to be able to post and view HDR photos in Feed. We are working with additional Android partners (and iOS) to expand the availability of the feature (and thus ability to view in HDR as well).
