#technology Using a snow blower may be easier than shovelling, even pushing a blower around can be tiring if you have a large area to clear. That's where the Snowbot S1 comes in – it's a snow-blowing robot that's designed to do the job all on its own.
Snowbot S1 is a battery-powered, rubber-tracked autonomous vehicle which is about to enter the beta testing phase. Although you could use it on your sidewalk, it's intended more for large spaces such as parking lots.

Researchers in China say they have achieved a world first by developing a machine that can charge people with crimes using artificial intelligence. The AI “prosecutor” can file a charge with more than 97 per cent accuracy based on a verbal description of the case, according to the researchers. The machine was built and tested by the Shanghai Pudong People’s Procuratorate, the country’s largest and busiest district prosecution office. The technology could reduce prosecutors’ daily workload, allowing them to focus on more difficult tasks, according to Professor Shi Yong, director of the Chinese Academy of Sciences’ big data and knowledge management laboratory, who is the project’s lead scientist.

Happy New Year, Earth!
Now it's officially 2022 all around our little but precious planet.
Two hours ago people from the west of Alaska, Hawaii, French Polynesia and Cook Islands celebrated the new 2022 year.
Officially the last to meet the new year are small uninhabited islands in the Pacific Ocean - Baker Island and Howland Island.
But technically Tonga, Wallis and Futuna and Chatham Islands as well as parts of Chukotka Autonomous Okrug of Russia, the US state of Alaska, Fiji, Tokelau and Samoa) all lie within that time zone. They all chose a different zone - the same as the nearest other territory - out of convenience. Most celebrated the new year full 24 hours ago!
Let the next year be great for everyone!
