Samsung could considerably boost the autonomy of our smartphones
Samsung has a plan to revolutionize the smartphone battery market. Rather than a liquid electrolyte, the Korean manufacturer is currently working on a battery with a solid electrolyte. Called ASD, for All Solid State, this model would benefit from a much higher energy density than current lithium batteries, in addition to presenting less risk of explosion and better resistance to wear.

Say goodbye to the little green sticker
From April 1, 2024, you will no longer need to put the small green sticker on your windshield. Two years after the official announcement from the authorities, the insurance paper is finally preparing to be dematerialized. In this way, the police will only have to consult the Insured vehicle file during a check to verify that you are properly insured. So no more fines of €35 for forgetting the green sticker.
