minimum age to ride a scooter, cyclists in the opposite direction and motorcycles on the shoulders

June 23, 2026 by usatoday24

It’s been a while since it was rumored but it was not until today when the Government has announced the modification of the General Traffic Regulations to implement important changes for the most vulnerable users. From scooter users to pedestrians, but there are also changes for taxi professionals. As the Government made known in a press conference after the Council of Ministers, the Ministry of the Interior thus welcomes the changes that have been taking place on the streets and highways of our country where the use of electric scooters has exploded. But in addition, it also modernizes some rules that were believed to be obsolete. All changes will come into effect on October 1. Now, in one fell swoop, changes are coming for users of personal mobility vehicles (PMV) but also for motorcyclists, taxi professionals and even pedestrians. Updating the standard Although the cities and the DGT itself have been including some patches to assimilate the explosion of electric scooter users on our streets, the truth is that we had been hearing rumors for some time that the Government was looking for a more in-depth review that entailed changes for different users. Today they have confirmed it and they are the following: Electric scooters Users will have to be at least 15 years old to drive an electric scooter At night or in low visibility conditions, users will be required to wear reflective vests, a helmet and lights. Professionals who use electric scooters will have to comply with this rule both day and night. They must always go on the road and outside of town they can only move on segregated routes, such as bike lanes. It is important to remember that scooters must comply with the technical demands imposed from Europe such as not exceeding 25 km/h maximum. Failure to comply with the rules will result in a fine of 200 euros. Bikers Motorcyclists must always use gloves, both the driver and the passenger. The motorcyclist at the controls will be required to wear closed-toed shoes, so flip-flops are prohibited. Motorists will be able to use the shoulder in the event of a traffic jam, as long as they do not exceed 30 km/h. The helmets will have to be approved and not just certified. Professionals who use motorcycles as a means of transportation in their work must wear a reflective vest. The fines for failing to comply with these provisions are 200 euros. Cyclists They will have to have mandatory lighting whenever they travel on interurban roads. Professionals who use bicycles as a means of transportation will have to wear a vest on both urban and interurban roads. On urban roads, the cyclist will circulate in the center of the lane to improve visibility. Cyclists will be able to travel in the opposite direction on one-way streets limited to a maximum of 30 km/h. Failure to comply with the rules will result in a fine of 200 euros. Drivers When a driver overtakes a cyclist on interurban roads, they will have to reduce their speed by 20 km/h with respect to the maximum speed of the road. On roads with only one lane in each direction, you must occupy the entire adjacent lane and never leave less than 1.5 meters of distance from the cyclist. Drivers must leave a safety distance of at least five meters within the city. Drivers will also have to leave the minimum separation of 1.5 meters and reduce their speed by 20 km/h when overtaking vehicles immobilized due to an accident, breakdown, assistance work and those involved in maintenance work or traffic regulation. In the event of snowfall, overtaking will be prohibited and the left lane will have to be left free for the circulation of emergency services. In traffic jams, when traveling at very low speed, it will be mandatory to turn left or right to leave a central fast lane in which emergency services can circulate. Professional drivers Professionals in taxis, goods vehicles and driving schools will be required to wear their seat belts fastened in any case, both inside and outside the town. The only exception contemplated is for the person who travels as co-pilot in an ambulance, assistance equipped for technical-health assistance as long as it is circulating in emergency service. Motorhomes Specific changes are established for your parking. They will be prohibited from extending objects that exceed the perimeter of the vehicle (such as awnings), from allowing the vehicle to rest on its tires, and from pouring fluids from the interior.

this startup has just shown that there is another way

June 23, 2026 by usatoday24

Still It is unclear whether humanoid robots will be the next big revolution of consumer technology, but there are certainly more and more companies competing to sneak one of these robots into our homes. They all have something in common: they are a lot like us, maybe too much. They have a face, torso, arms and legs. What if there is another better solution than that? That is what the startup Genesis AI believes, which has just presented its new generalist robot Genesis Eno, whose design is far from what we are used to seeing lately. In the words of the company itself: “Instead of imitating a fully human appearance, we have designed Eno based on human capabilities, prioritizing mobility, dexterity and functionality in the real world.” Genesis AI is a French-American startup, founded in 2025 and based in Palo Alto, California. They count in Forbes that the company raised $105 million in its latest financing round, which included investors such as Koshla Ventures and Eric Schmidt. Goodbye legs, hello wheels The Genesis Eno looks like a cross between a minimalist appliance and a humanoid robot. The first thing that stands out about its design is that it does not have legs, but rather moves on a base with wheels which allows you to move through space without needing so many joints. This gives it greater stability, although in environments with steps it is a limitation. On top of this base are a series of articulated panels that allow it to “stand up” and also fold down for storage when not in use. It also does not have a head, but instead has a kind of black piece where we assume that the sensors are housed so that it interacts with the environment. Genesis also offers another version with a screen mounted on the panel that would be the chest of the robot (you can see it in the main image). The key is in the hands What is very human are his arms, especially his hands. Genesis says the design of the hands has been copied so that it can handle objects that have been “designed with people in mind.” As they say in Humanoids Dailythe hands were developed in collaboration with Wuji Techa Chinese company that is exclusively dedicated to the design of robotic hands. The hands of the Genesis Eno have a movement angle of 22 degrees and look practically the same as a human hand. To control them with skill there is the brain GENEwhich the company says is the first AI brain to give robots “physical manipulation capabilities comparable to those of humans.” GENE allows the robot to interact with its environment freely, unlike other robots that have pre-programmed movements. It is also capable of remembering, can adapt if the environment changes, and is able to schedule multi-step tasks, as if it were a fleshed-out AI agent. The company assures that they plan to begin production of the Genesis Eno at the end of 2026. First it will reach industrial clients, then the service sector (such as hotels or hospitals) and finally to private clients. At the moment They haven’t said anything about the price.

This week the bootidae arrive, the slowest and most unpredictable meteor shower that exists

June 23, 2026 by usatoday24

If we think about meteor showers and the summer of the northern hemisphere, possibly the only one that comes to mind is the perseids. Without a doubt, it is the most famous of all, that is indisputable. But it’s not the only one. Right at the beginning of the summer period we can also enjoy the bootidas, a very special meteor shower for being, possibly, the most unpredictable of all. Don’t stop looking at the sky this week. The Booties can be seen crossing the sky between June 22 and July 2, although its peak takes place between June 22 and 30, normally the 27th. That is why it is recommended that this week we look at the sky, especially during Saturday night, when the peak is most likely to occur. And hopefully also an explosion. A variable number of meteors. We usually know how many meteors per hour we will see with a meteor shower. For example, the Perseids usually leave between 50 and 100 meteors per hour. It is quite a spectacle, which still pales in comparison to the December Geminidswhich can reach 120-150 meteors per hour. The bootidae, on the other hand, only give us 1 or 2 meteors every hour. We should be very focused on the sky to be able to see them. However, from time to time they experience outbursts in which a number of meteors comparable to those of the Perseids can be reached. The last of these outbreaks took place in 2004 and it is not known when the next one will be. That’s why it’s such a special occasion. The explanation. When comets and asteroids pass near the Sun, they often leave behind a cloud of debris caused by various reasons, but especially by the sublimation of the ice that they usually have on their surface or their core (in the case of comets). That cloud floats in space, usually in a defined place. Therefore, when the Earth revolves around the Sun, it always encounters these clouds at the same time of year. As it crosses our atmosphere, debris burns, giving rise to small fireballs streaking through the sky. Those are meteors or, as we know them colloquially, shooting stars. If there is a planet near the orbit of a comet or asteroid, can exert a gravitational effect on its debris, preventing it from being distributed homogeneously. That’s what happens with booties. They come from the debris of comet 7P/Pons-Winnecke, strongly influenced by Jupiter. In their case, instead of leaving a homogeneous cloud of debris, these are formed into dense threads, so that the Earth each year encounters a point of different density. Some of those threads are well studied. For example, it is known that the thread that led to outbursts in 1916, 1998 and 2004 could leave another outburst in 2037. However, there may be other unidentified threads that leave outbursts in other years. Maybe this 2026? Other information that makes it special. Another reason why bootida rain is so special is the meteor speed. While the Perseids fly across the sky at 59 km/s and the Geminids do the same at 35 km/s, the Bootids They move at 18 km/s. They are much slower, so if we manage to see them, we will enjoy them much better. We’ll have more time to make a wish! Yes, scientifically it is useless, but we have all caught ourselves trying to do it at some point. How to see them. To see the meteor showers, you basically have to follow the same steps as to see any meteor shower. It is best not to use telescopes or binoculars, since we will not know where to point. The ideal option is Find a place well away from light pollution and fix our eyes on a point in the sky until our eyes get used to the darkness. The radiant of the Bootes is, as its name indicates, the constellation of Bootes. That means that this is the place in the sky where shooting stars seem to be born. However, they can come from any point. The important thing is that: fix your eyes and get your eyes used to it. As for the time, the ideal is to start searching after midnight, at least in latitudes close to the Spanish one, since that will be when they will be seen high enough in the sky. If there is no explosion, there won’t be much to see, but what if there is one and we don’t try to go out and look? Better to be bored than to regret not having tried.

It’s called Starfall and it points to the future of space mining

June 23, 2026 by usatoday24

At 6:53 AM EDT (12:53 in Madrid) today, Tuesday, took off a Falcon 9 rocket from Cape Canaveral in Florida (USA). He did so with a very special mission: a technical demonstration of his new and mysterious re-entry capsule, called Starfall. This is not about missions to the Moon or Mars. What’s up? It goes from manufacturing products in space to then taking them to Earth. Musk Space Transport, SA. As they point out at Ars Technica, published documents by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) give more information. This document indicates that the purpose of Starfall is the “transport and delivery of goods through space.” We are therefore faced with a new and interesting business avenue for SpaceX, which once again – as is the case with Starlink – moves away from pure space exploration to propose alternative solutions to “terrestrial” operational problems. SpaceX does not release any pledge. The company has detailed some of the phases of the mission on their official websitebut he has not given much information about the burden of said mission, and his message is confusing. According to those responsible: “today’s mission includes a demo of a new vehicle that will allow affordable and routine access to the microgravity environment for scientific research and for manufacturing in the same space.” The vehicle will make its re-entry to end up in the Pacific Ocean about 1,300 km west of California. Space pharmacies. The FAA report reveals that Starfall will enable “point-to-point delivery of critical payloads through space in rapid times,” in addition to ushering in an era in which make products in space thanks to the absence of gravity or in microgravity environments. There are companies already involved in this objective, and the purpose at the moment seems to be to manufacture pharmaceutical products. Once manufactured, vehicles like Starfall could be used to deliver these products to Earth. One ton of cargo. Existing documentation shows how Starfall is shaped like a cylindrical disk. Its diameter is 3.1 m, its height is 0.75 m and its weight is 2.1 tons. The current design contemplates that the load capacity of this capsule is about one metric ton. SpaceX wants to eat the competition. Companies such as Varda Space Industries or Atmos Space Cargo had already launched reentry vehicles on missions with Falcon 9 rockets. With Starfall, SpaceX precisely enters this market to provide not only the rocket in which the cargo is launched, but also the reentry capsule that will bring the manufactured product to Earth. It will be very difficult to compete with its costs and vertical integration. Space mining in sight. The short-term focus seems to be the production of drugs in microgravity conditions, but SpaceX could have another objective in the medium and long term. Specifically, the asteroid miningwhich could end up being commercially viable and will require a cheap and massive way to bring metals and rare earths mined in space to Earth. Destination Mars. Starfall can also be part of the Elon Musk’s ambitious plan to colonize Mars. While the Starship will be tasked with moving massive 100-ton loads, Starfall can be very useful for precise delivery of smaller supplies and delicate equipment. A Starlink-like pattern. SpaceX’s plan seems to propose a strategy similar to that followed with Starlink. The satellite constellation It has become an increasingly important alternative to traditional communications systems, and with Starfall the idea is not to explore space, but to control the supply routes to exploit it.

Spain has standardized a small trick to avoid rear-end accidents. The DGT is not very satisfied

June 23, 2026 by usatoday24

Emergency braking and emergency lights are words that, by pure common sense, we could understand that one always goes together with the other. So much so that not only in Spain have we assimilated that the way to act in a traffic jam is to activate them almost immediately, manufacturers have also been incorporating it into the latest models. However, the DGT through the General Traffic Regulations It continues to ask us to act in a slightly different way and that, directly, has become somewhat obsolete. better than the warning…with your hand? Rear-end accidents are one of the most common types of crashes on Spanish roads, especially now that summer is coming and trips are multiplying. Although there is no official data that segments this type of accident, claims and insurance experts estimate in 5% of total crashes those that occur by reach. These are usually accidents with low mortality rates but those who suffer them can be seriously injured. whiplash that usually causes problems over time if they do not heal well. Rear-end accidents are not usually a big problem in terms of mortality rates, but they can cause serious damage to our cars. And although without sufficient safety distance it is difficult to avoid them, drivers have assimilated a way of acting to reduce them. The most common thing in this type of situation in which we find a traffic jam in front of us is that we brake with a certain force and immediately the hand goes to the emergency button (a problem in cars where the emergency button warning is on the ceiling). That is, we activate the signal while braking. However, in the General Traffic Regulations, article 109 c) reads the following: “The intention to immobilize the vehicle or to brake its progress significantly, even when such events are imposed by traffic circumstances, must be warned, whenever possible, by repeatedly using the brake lights or by moving the arm alternately up and down with short and rapid movements.” And then it is pointed out that: When the immobilization takes place on a highway or highway, or in places or circumstances that significantly reduce visibility, the presence of the vehicle must be signaled by using the emergency light, if available, and, where appropriate, with the position lights. That is, according to the DGT we must issue warnings using the brake lights or by putting our hand out the window (less advisable if we have to make an unexpected dodging movement). And we will only turn on the emergency lights if we are immobilized. Colleagues explain Motorpassion that technically the DGT cannot fine us for using the emergency lights to signal a traffic jam before stopping and, in truth, it is difficult for us to think that a traffic officer would fine us for it in those circumstances. The wording made in the General Traffic Regulations is marked by the type of vehicle that was driven many years ago and it has no meaning since ABS (invented in 1978 by Mercedes and mandatory in every European car since 2004, although most already had it) is the norm. If a driver drives a car without ABS, the car will lock the wheels under heavy braking and it is easy to lose control. ABS prevents this from happening by relieving the brake pressure slightly even if we press it fully to allow the wheels to turn slightly and not lock. The only way to act emergency braking in a car without ABS is to do this same thing. You press the brake hard and then lift it very slightly and press it again. The action is repeated as many times as necessary, hence the wording of article 109 of the General Traffic Regulations. Since cars have this system, this way of acting is unnecessary and even dangerous because it will be the car that acts for us. But in addition, many of today’s cars already automatically activate the warning if we apply enough force on the brake pedal. This function is also deactivated if our intervention when the foot is lifted from the brake.

features, price and technical sheet

June 23, 2026 by usatoday24

Meta has just announced the launch of several new pairs of smart glasses that it calls simply Meta Glasses (“Meta Glasses”), but what is really striking about the launch is not the specifications of the glasses – which hardly change – but who is behind it. Because for the first time, Meta gets rid of branding and the alliance with Ray-Ban to launch these glasses. The new range consists of the Fury, Adventurer and Starfire Kylie Edition models, each of which has a different design. Let’s get to know them. Meta Glasses technical sheet META GLASSES (2026) dimensions and weight 151 x 49 x 22mm (standard) 156 x 52 x 22 (large) 24.5 grams (frame, standard) 25.9 grams (frame, large) image capture 3024 x 4032 pixels 12 MP, ultra wide angle, 100° FOV video capture 3K at 30fps 1440p at 30fps 1200p at 60fps audio system 2x micro speakers 6x microphones voice assistant Meta AI (Muse Spark) controls Touch by voice memory 32 GB flash (+500 photos or 100 30-second videos) battery “More than eight hours” on one charge and mixed use. 5 hours of continuous audio playback Up to 48 hours accumulating charges with the case fully charged connectivity Wi-Fi 6 Bluetooth 5.4/BLE USB-C charging (case) compatibility iOS 17 or Android 10 onwards price From 309 euros Three designs, one influencer While the Fury are somewhat larger, more rectangular and with somewhat thicker temples, the Adventurer are more stylized and “compact”. In both cases we have these designs in both standard and large sizes. But in addition to it comes the Starfire Kylie Edition, the “premium” version of these new models, which according to Meta have been developed in collaboration with the influencer Kylie Jenner. Its design is totally different and differential, much more ovalbut they also have a special voice for Meta AI that apparently sounds similar to Jenner’s voice. All glasses can be used with prescription lenses, and all have a case that in turn recharges the glasses when they are inside. In the case of Kylie Jenner’s, the case has an interior mirror. for the first time the logo disappears and any traces of Ray-Ban on Meta’s connected glasses. Andrew Bosworth, CTO of the company, pointed out that the alliance with EssilorLuxottica is still in force, and that the idea here was to expand the catalog and offer more price options for users. Because that is the great argument of these models: They start at 309 euros when, for example, Ray-Ban Meta (Gen 2) Launched in September 2025, they started at 419 euros. The price of the Kylie Jenner edition, yes, is also 419 euros. The new models are practically identical in specifications, and have, for example, the same camera and recording formats, but they also add a sixth microphone compared to the previous version. The connectivity, storage space and support for iOS and Android is almost identical (minimum iOS 17), and what does change is a special detail: the AI model. In fact, the glasses have a new physical button to activate the AI, and by pressing it we can start conversing with the Meta AI model, which for the first time in these glasses It’s Muse Spark. This action button is however customizable, which will allow us to use it for other tasks. Among the options offered by this new AI model is a more versatile real-time translation mode (accepts Mandarin Chinese, South Korean, or Japanese). Theoretically we are facing an AI that improves significantly in the conversational mode and also in the recognition of places and objects.

review with features, price and specifications

The specifications sheet of the Realme P4x suggests that something is missing, but here is the twist: when you do without what is not essential, you discover that what matters works surprisingly well. In our tests, we have been able to verify that the P4x is better than it seems. And that is what makes it interesting for an audience that does not want to pay for specifications that they will never use. ✅ Buy it if… You have a tight budget of around 200 euros. Do you want a mobile phone enough to answer whatsapps and browse social networks. You want to have a battery with which you can forget about the charger for days. ❌ Don’t buy it if… You want a mobile phone to play demanding games. You give high importance to the photography section. You are looking for a compact phone. The essentials in 30 seconds The Realme P4x is a entry-level mobilewhich already rules it out as an option for those looking for maximum performance and an ultra-versatile set of cameras. But just because it’s a “cheap” phone doesn’t make it a bad device. In fact, he balances his forces very well. The strongest point of this mobile is in its huge 7,500 mAh battery which, as I tell you, will serve to provide two days of use (and even more). It combines it with an LCD screen that at a technological level is far from the best, but is nourished by 120 Hz refresh rate and a very good calibration. It is also a good mobile for take photosalthough without great results. It is a compliant device if there is one and whose price factor It will be essential to unbalance the balance. And it starts at 220 euros, although in its first days of launch it has an offer that makes it even more affordable. 6.6 Design 6.5 Screen 6.5 Performance 5.0 Camera 5.0 Software 7.0 Battery 9.5 in favor Autonomy is a scandal.

We earn commission from these links Our experience with the Realme P4x Image: Xataka Big, but manageable. The Realme P4x is a big phone, but it doesn’t feel slippery and it’s easy to reach its entire button panel (on the right side) even with one hand. It doesn’t feel like it has premium material, but it is still comfortable in hand and, although its camera module stands out, it doesn’t “dance” when placed on a table. Approved screen and sound. The Realme P4x makes it clear from the first glance that it is an entry-level mobile, with large frames and a front camera in waterdrop format. Its IPS screen does not stand out for its excellent calibration, but it offers a balanced experience with good viewing angles, sufficient brightness indoors and a refresh rate of 120 Hz. Where it is weakest is in the sound, with a single speaker that offers somewhat canned and not very powerful audio, although it maintains good connection options by allowing Bluetooth headphones, USB-C and a 3.5 mm jack. Adjusted performance. The phone has a Unisoc T250, a much lower profile processor than the ones we usually find in other Android phones. On a day-to-day basis it does not present any major problems and moves applications such as WhatsApp, Google Maps, YouTube, Instagram or the browser, and even some casual games, with ease, although it takes time to load and open them. It is not a processor designed to play demanding titles and has an important limitation: it is not compatible with 5G networks. No battery surprises (and that’s a good thing). The battery is one of its strong points thanks to the 7,500 mAh capacity. With normal use, that is, social networks, messaging and some casual games, you can easily exceed two days and even get close to three. The fast charging system has a power of 45W and takes an hour and a quarter to fully charge, although it is possible to achieve a few extra hours of autonomy with occasional charges of 15-20 minutes. Needless to say, the charger is not included in the box. Enough camera. This device has on the back a 50 megapixel sensor and another 2 megapixel monochrome sensor, which I already told you is purely testimonial, since it is not used for any special photo mode, but is a support for the main one that is barely noticeable. The results are acceptable, although with a certain tendency to over-saturate the colors. The portraits usually have a good level of cropping, although in some examples like the previous one there are some errors when focusing on part of the background when it shouldn’t. Daytime rear camera | Image: Xataka Rear camera with night mode | Image: Xataka The front camera is the section with the most room for improvement, with lower color quality and naturalness, as well as a portrait mode that tends to fail when it comes to separating the subject from the background. Overall, the Realme P4x has a solvent main camera for daily use, although it is not a mobile phone designed for those looking for a more complete photography experience.

Experts agree that opening windows at night and closing them during the day is no longer the best strategy against heat.

June 23, 2026 by usatoday24

For decades, long before air conditioners and the fans will take Every corner of its geography, Spain knew how to handle the heat: during the day, everything was closed tight; at night, everything open and ventilate. It sounds rudimentary, but in 2026 that is still the strategy we recommends the Ministry of Health. And yet, there is a problem. The Spain of the blinds game did not sleep in cities at 26 degrees at four in the morning. Not 26, not 28, not more than 30, as has been happening these days in Almería. The arrival of the ‘hellish nights’ challenges everything we thought we knew about domestic heat management. Therefore, we have asked ourselves… and now what? What we were doing until now. That popular knowledge I was talking about goes viral every time the heat makes an appearance. And, like I say, it makes sense. In a world where it cools down at night, the winning strategy is night cooling and daytime insulation. What he says Health Plan against high temperatures. The central issue here is that that world has ceased to exist. Because the key is not the time, it is the thermometer. In reality, what we are looking for is to open when it is cool and close when it is hot. It’s usually cool at night, but… What if he stops doing it? Summer has stretched on for five weeks and Spain is about two degrees warmer than at the beginning of the eighties. The torrid nights (with minimums of 25 degrees or more) have multiplied by ten since 1984 in the ten most populated capitals and, according to AEMET data, this affects about nine million people. Even the tropical ones (minimums of 20 or more) today add a dozen more a year than decades ago. We can’t sleep… although researchers have not agreed on the ideal temperature for sleeping (some point which is about 18.3ºC, but there is no consensus), they have done so on a fundamental idea: sleeping in the heat is objectively a bad idea. For whatever reason, it is true that our temperature changes between wakefulness and sleep. In fact, “thermal regulation is a significant factor” in sleep control, explained the teacher Cameron Van Den Heuvelfrom the University of Adelaide. “About an hour to thirty minutes before sleep, the body begins to lose body heat. This increases feelings of tiredness in normal healthy adults.” People with insomnia, without going any further, “show that they have a higher basal temperature just before sleeping than people who do not have sleep problems.” Ambient heat does not help this thermal reduction and it seems to be proven that when the temperature is very high, it is more difficult to fall asleep and, when it is achieved, it is of very poor quality. And then what do we do? In the interior of the peninsula, as the thermal amplitude remains high, opening at dawn works. There is nothing to change. The problem is for those who live on the coast or in the big city. When the night exceeds 20 degrees, the strategy is reversed. Ventilating at night is no longer the main technique and the battle is won during the day: you have to seal the house as soon as the street heats up, squeeze out the thermal inertia and use the air conditioning wisely. However, as the nights get warmer the household tricks come to an end. If the trend is confirmed, we will have to assume that the housing stock must be transformed: sun protection, rehabilitation and climate shelters will be the buzzwords in a few years.
