The American rover Perseverance will soon be joined by the Chinese “god of fire”. The first rover from China was named Zhurong
The American Mars rover Perseverance is soon to be joined by its Chinese counterpart. The Tianwen-1 mission was launched last summer, and already in May, the descent module with the rover should detach from the orbital station.
As it turned out, the rover only now, when it is already in the orbit of Mars, received a name. He was named Zhurong (“Chzhurong”) in honor of the fire god from Chinese mythology. The name was chosen from 10 options through an open vote. For China, Zhurong is a very important project, as it is their first rover.
A wide range of various scientific instruments is installed on board the rover, including a magnetic field detector, a multispectral camera, a topographic camera and even a georadar capable of exploring the interior of Mars at a depth of 100 m.

You can turn off “Recommendations” in mobile Chrome

Google is preparing to introduce an innovation that will delight many users of the mobile version of the proprietary Chrome browser.
We are talking about the ability to remove the Discover ribbon (Recommendations) from the Chrome New Tab page. On mobile versions of the Google Chrome browser, the new tab page currently hosts a search bar, most viewed websites, and two content feeds. One of them is the traditional Google Discover channel (Google Recommendations), which shows a list of articles recommended for the user by Google algorithms.
Soon, the browser should be able to remove this feed – using a special flag #feed-ablation, which will appear on the chrome://flags page. It’s already available in an early test build of Chrome Canary, and is expected to be released with the release of stable Chrome 103 next month.

Google TV finally has support for user profiles

Google has finally begun rolling out an update to Google TV that brings support for multiple profiles to smart TVs and set-top boxes.
Recall that Google TV is not an independent operating system and not renamed Android TV, but an additional shell for Android TV. It debuted on the Chromecast media player in October 2020. Since launch, Google TV users have been complaining about the lack of full support for multiple profiles on the device. The feature was announced in October last year and was scheduled to begin rolling out to devices by the end of the year. However, two months later, Google delayed the launch indefinitely.
Now Google has announced the start of rolling out support for multiple profiles on the same device with Google TV. The feature will not appear instantly for all users, but gradually over the next few weeks.
It will allow you to create a personalized space on one TV for several users with different Google accounts. Each of them can access personalized recommendations, quick access to their watch list, and so on.
