Samsung Introduces New Premium Smartphone Family: Galaxy S24 Ultra, S24, S24+ and Galaxy AI
Samsung recently introduced a new family of premium smartphones: the Galaxy S24 Ultra, S24, and S24+. Alongside new processors and design changes, the company has put a lot of emphasis on innovation, including real-time voice calls, advanced photo editing, and automatic transcription, among other features. However, some are wondering where Bixby, Samsung's voice assistant, is. Bixby has lost some prominence in Samsung's devices, but it will continue to function in the new models, according to Samsung. However, the company has not yet confirmed whether Bixby will be replaced by Google's Bard. Microsoft's Cortana also went through a similar history, and was replaced by Copilot. As for Bixby's future, the answer is no; Bixby will be a feature of Galaxy AI. Samsung has been working with Google on many of its functions, including some AI features, and it is expected that they will work together to boost Bixby.

Elon Musk's Plans for X/Twitter: Superapp Features Arrive on Android, Here's What You Need to Know
Elon Musk's plans for integrating X/Twitter features into a superapp are no longer a secret. After announcing the intention to add voice and video calls to the Twitter platform for iOS users several months ago, these features have now arrived on Android. Previously, Android users lacked applications for making voice and video calls directly from their phones. Now, with Elon Musk's implementation on devices running Google's operating system, X payment is a requirement. Here's how X/Twitter voice and video calls work. Although Musk has not officially confirmed the X app, an employee recently mentioned in a tweet that the progressive rollout of voice and video calls on Android invites users to update the main application, although we anticipate that messages will not be animated as they are in reality. While the functionality is not particularly mysterious, anyone who has updated their phone can now make voice and video calls through the platform, and read messages. Specifically, those within the relevant configuration settings for messages will have the option. However, there is a problem with payment. If you want to call, you need an X Premium subscription, which translates to paying 8 euros per month at a minimum (16 euros for Premium +). In the case of annual payment, the prices are reduced to 841 euros respectively. However, anyone who pays does not receive unwanted calls: only the person who initiates the call pays. The ability to call someone through Twitter/X is currently limited, as there is no other form of contact information available to facilitate it. However, it's important to note that there have been serious issues with Elon Musk's social media spam, and the platform could also become an unwanted entrance for inappropriate conduct. Ultimately, if you want to talk to someone through these new features, it's rare that they won't have another form of contact to reach out to.

The Exceptional Case of Cicadas: A New Generation Emerges Every 17 or 13 Years
Cicadas, those normal-looking insects with varying sizes from around a grain of rice to a few inches, have a lifecycle of 17 to 4 years for some species and 13 years for others. Despite their size and varied maturation times, they all emerge from the ground at roughly the same time, every few years. These insects climb trees, grow from a seed in the ground, and start the festival of millions of hungry creatures. A few days after the night they emerge, the males begin to sing while the females remain silent. In ten days, they will have mated and started laying eggs. There will be about 500 offspring per female, but the process will be chaotic and frenzied. The cicadas fly, but they are not agile and collide with objects, converting themselves into fantastic food for some birds that can hardly believe what they are seeing. But... for a moment. Are they really so exceptional? If we look at the maps carefully, we can see that the Generation XII of 17-year-olds and the Generation XIX of 13-year-olds do not only represent large generations but are also very close, sometimes in the same territory in the midwest and southeast. Why does it matter? Besides being an event that has not occurred since Napoleon invaded Spain, it is also fascinating. At first, cicadas were considered harmless to humans. However, they produce sounds that can be heard for miles, especially around the noisy conditions in Illinois. This is just the tip of the iceberg, though. It's not just interesting, but also significant: studying these biological clocks on a grand scale and observing different generations can help us understand how the world is changing with climate change.

Huawei's P60 Pro Surprises with a Granular Camera, What to Expect from P70
Huawei's P60 Pro has impressed with its granular camera. The upcoming P70 is rumored to feature an advanced processor and camera, as well as a 1-inch sensor for the granular camera. The Kirin 9010, a 3nm chip, is said to be included in the P70. Additionally, the P70 is predicted to have a new 1-inch sensor for the granular camera, which could significantly improve image quality for photos and videos, especially in low light. The changes in the P70's camera are not limited to size. A new sensor type, 1G6P, is also rumored, made of a 6-layer plastic cap, similar to the one used in the main camera. However, other rumors suggest a 7-layer plastic sensor for the granular camera, which could be more economical. We will have to wait for the official presentation of the new P70 to confirm this intriguing change in the granular camera of Huawei's next flagship.

Solar Cars: The El Dorado for Electric Vehicles
Solar cars are becoming the El Dorado for electric vehicles, offering a solution to charging our cars daily with solar power instead of relying on fossil fuels. Companies like Toyota, Mercedes, and Porsche have experimented with solar cars, using their own models to enhance the electric components. However, the autonomous driving range has not been impressive, with the longest distance covered, by the Mercedes Vision EQXX, only reaching less than 50 kilometers. The Energizer Bunny, or Tesla Model, is reportedly owned by a Reddit user who claims to have designed a foldable solar roof system that allows charging between 30 and 100 daily kilometers. In the project presentation, the user explains that the foldable solar panels are installed on the roof of the vehicle, with the panels opening up to approximately 27 centimeters above the car's body. In the new version, they will reportedly be able to reduce the height to only 15 centimeters. Overall, the Tesla Model could potentially save up to 4,000W in the future, as long as the user confirms. However, many questions remain, such as whether the solar panels are used to charge the battery directly or to transform the solar energy into electric energy to charge the vehicle while it's parked. The effectiveness of the entire system is being debated. In 2019, Toyota created a prototype Prius with a solar roof that generated 860W. However, due to regulations, Toyota was only able to place 75kg of solar panels on the car's roof, which would significantly affect the vehicle's aerodynamics. The creator of the Tesla Model estimates that the consumption would be improved by only 10%. Some critics argue that the car may not be able to travel more than 40 kilometers in real-world conditions due to the impact of the solar panels on the vehicle's aerodynamics and the discomfort of the ride caused by the noise generated.

A Rollercoaster Ride of Artificial Intelligence: The Winter and Summer Seasons
The terminology of artificial intelligence (AI) has evolved significantly over the years, with experts sometimes referring to 'winters' and 'summers'. However, it is not about the seasons of the year, but rather the cycles of growth and decline in the development of this field. In the last few decades, we have witnessed several 'winters of AI', periods where enthusiasm for the technology waned, dragging along the slower advancements and economic downturns in the same field. However, in recent years, the scene seems to be changing: since the mid-2020s, thanks to AI generative technology, artificial intelligence is once again at the forefront of technology, with Silicon Valley investing millions of dollars in AI projects, attracting some of the best talents of the moment. However, some experts are beginning to express concerns about the sustainability of this growth and the increasing complexity of technical problems.
