What's new in Android and high-tech news at the end of 2024 on Phonandroid? This Friday, December 29, 2023, we finally discussed Sony's release plan for the PS5 next year. As 2024 approaches, the Japanese manufacturer wanted to provide an overview of the titles planned for its console, including The Last of Us Part II: Remastered, Tekken 8, Helldivers 2 and Rise of the Ronin.
In a completely different area, we discussed the umpteenth postponement of the V12 update of FSD, Tesla's autonomous driving technology. Originally expected for December, the manufacturer preferred to postpone the deployment of the V12 version of Full Self Driving due to a lack of data, especially in regions where heavy precipitation (snow and rain) regularly occurs.
This time it's more practical: Orange has just implemented a new feature for owners of new iPhones. This will allow them to convert their traditional SIM card into an eSIM by going directly through the settings of their smartphone and not through one of the operator's applications. But without further ado, let's look together at the three pieces of information that should be remembered in the news for this Friday, December 29, 2023.
Meta wants to join the Fediverse, but what exactly is that?
On the occasion of the launch of Threads in Europe, Meta announced that it intends to integrate its new social network with Fédivers. This name actually hides a number of services and platforms that communicate with each other using a common protocol. For many defenders of this giga system, the introduction of meta is viewed very negatively.
