    Let’s enhance it.

    Microsoft Photos is getting a new “super resolution” feature that lets you enlarge and enhance low-quality photos using AI on Copilot Plus PCs, and it’s now available for Windows Insiders.

    The app is also getting a new OCR function to make it easier to grab text from photos. There will also be a new single-click navigation option so you don’t have to double-click to open pics.

    The $249,000 car wins.

    Edmunds conducted one of its U-Drag down-and-back drag races between Lucid’s most expensive car, the 1,234 horsepower Air Sapphire, and a 1,020 horsepower Tesla Model S Plaid ($89,990 today) with the $20k Track Pack upgrade that includes carbon ceramic brakes.

    The Lucid won both races. Edmund’s Alistair Weaver concludes that the Lucid feels “faster” and “just feels nicer.”
