The week of February 13, 2023 was marked by several interesting news items: the huge lithium deposit discovered in India to begin with, followed by the deployment of One UI 5.1 on new Samsung smartphones, and finally, the integration of ChatGPT in a new browser.
Lithium: 5.9 million tonnes discovered in India
The sacred find of India. The second most populous country in the world has got its hands on a gigantic lithium deposit on its territory: 5.9 million tonnes in total. To put this figure into perspective, it is worth recalling the estimate of global deposits calculated in 2018: 14 million. Clearly, electric car batteries still have a bright future ahead of them.
One UI 5.1 comes to three flagship Samsung smartphones
The Galaxy S23, S23 Plus and S23 Ultra landed in Europe with One UI 5.1, based on Android 13. It didn’t take long for the Samsung Galaxy S22, S21 and S20 to get it too. These three ranges therefore benefit from new features relating to this interface, which in particular gives pride of place to customization and Modes/Routines inspired by iOS.
A small dose of ChatGPT on Opera
Since the buzz of ChatGPT, artificial intelligence has been the subject of immense interest from large multinationals. The Opera browser has also decided to take it over, by integrating ChatGPT into its system. For the moment, only one functionality is offered: by pressing a button, the AI is able to generate a short summary of any web page or article in the form of a bulleted list.
