Telegram has updated its app with new features and visual updatesincluding the addition of voice-to-text transcription for videos, separate topics in large group chats, and “Collectible Usernames.”

Video messaging transcription can be accessed by tapping the “→A” button on the bottom-right of a video, but won’t be available for everyone — much like Telegram’s existing voice message transcription, the feature is restricted to Telegram Premium users. A Telegram Premium subscription costs $4.99 a month and comes with additional benefits such as faster downloads, no ads, and a larger file upload limit of 4GB.

Telegram has also introduced new features for free users, starting with Topics in Groups. This allows groups with over 200 members to create separate spaces that function like individual chats, with their own notifications independent from the larger Group. The set-up is similar to Discord servers that have a single overarching focus but also side channels for more specific conversations. You can test out the feature yourself in Telegram’s own public group.

Next up is Collectible Usernames, an NFT-like asset secured by the TONS of blockchain networks that can be purchased and sold via Fragment. Telegram says these vanity names can be less than five characters long and function just like regular usernames, appearing in Global Search results and generating ‘username.t.me’ and ‘t.me/username’ links that can be used outside of Telegram.

Ford renews its claim as the king of the heavy-hauler hill, releasing more details this week regarding the capabilities of the 2023 Ford F-Series Super Duty. With a new high-output 1,200 pound-foot diesel engine and revisions to its gasoline options, the big pickup now boasts a class-leading 40,000-pound tow rating and up to 8,000 pounds of payload, depending on the configuration.

The Super Doots’ optional 6.7-liter Power Stroke V8 turbo diesel engine returns for 2023 model year service with its 475 horsepower and 1,050 lb.-ft. of torque at the ready. However, it’s now joined by a new High Output variant that cranks the volume up to 500 hp and 1,200 lb.-ft. torque, good enough to claim a best-in-class performance node for Ford.

The 6.7-liter HO diesel powers Ford’s class-leading 40,000-pound maximum gooseneck tow rating for the F-450 Dual Rear-Wheel Regular Cab configuration with the Max Towing Package and the 30,000-pound conventional tow rating for the F-450 Crew Cab . It also brings home the best-in-subclass bacon for F-350/3500-segment gooseneck and conventional towing (38,000 and 28,000 pounds, respectively), as well as the F-250’s 23,000-pound gooseneck crown.

Big changes can also be found on the gasoline-powered side of the F-Series’ options sheet. The old 6.2-liter base V8 has been replaced by a new 6.8-liter block that makes an estimated 405 hp (20 ponies more than before) and 445 lb.-ft. of torque (a gain of 15 lb.-ft.) Meanwhile, the 7.3-liter overhead valve gas V8 gets a 10-lb.-ft. bump, now rated at 430
