WhatsApp the privacy seemed pump proof. Until a state prosecutor tried to erase incriminating messages

by

The State Attorney General, Álvaro García Ortiz, thought he had eliminated messages that could help incriminate him in a crime of revelation of the secrets. It really wasn’t like that, because It doesn’t matter if you delete your messages on WhatsApp: Google keeps them the same. Now we have known that these messages seem to have been successfully recovered, and the question is: how have you managed to read those messages? Metadata to compare other data. During the investigation, the UCO also registered the electronic devices of the provincial chief prosecutor of Madrid, Pilar Rodríguez, they point out In 20 minutes. The content of the Zip folder held by the magistrate could also have been sent by goal/WhatsApp, which would not have sent the messages – it can not theoretically have no access to them – but the metadata of those conversations of García Ortiz. These metadata could serve to compare and contrast Rodríguez’s messages – which did retain those conversations – thus providing evidence for the attribution of the Attorney General. Of deleted, nothing. As they point out in the confidentialthe magistrate of the Supreme Court, Ángel Luis Hurtado, has indicated that the effort to try to recover the messages deleted by the State Attorney General, Álvaro García Ortiz, seems to have been “successful.” The latter It is charged for an alleged crime of revelation of secrets. Google and WhatsApp lend their help. The Central Operating Unit (UCO) of the Civil Guard will be responsible for making an expert report on the messages. The Supreme Court indicated In the country In January, he made a request to the Irish delegations of Google and WhatsApp (Meta) through Eurojustan agency for judicial cooperation in criminal cases. It is not specified which has responded, but the magistrate has received documentation in a Zip folder that seems to contain the messages deleted by García Ortiz in October 2024. How have you managed to read? The essential question is, of course, how it is possible that justice has ended up having access to those messages. The UCO already proved that García Ortiz erased his WhatsApp messages not one if not twice on October 16, 2024, when he was charged. He even changed telephone and reached the factory that he had been using until that moment. The alleged reason was to prevent such messages from incriminating him, but it turned out that this was not enough. The theory of metadata is a strong option, but there are others. End -to -end encryption is there. To begin with, we must clarify that WhatsApp has been using a protocol for years end -to -end encryption For all conversations. Only who sends the message and who (or who receives it can read them, but no other person or entity can decipher those messages. Not even goalthrough whose servers they send and forward texts, images, video or any other type of content. The key was not there, and there are other ways to access those messages. Option 1: physical access to the device. The most obvious way to access a user’s WhatsApp messages is to have physical access to your mobile device. In that case, forensic experts can, with the appropriate tools, obtain the key to decipher the messages from the WhatsApp database, even if they have been deleted. Here García Ortiz erased the messages and restored the terminal to his factory status, which probably made it impossible to recover them from the device even having physically access. But there was another way. Option 2: Surely Backing Copies. This is probably the key to the success of having recovered the messages of the Attorney General. In WhatsApp users can back up their messages in cloud services such as Google Drive or Apple Iloud, but attention: by default those backup copies are not encrypted. It is the users who must proactively enable encryption in backupsand maybe García Ortiz did not. That would have caused Google, to which help was requested, could access that data to send them to the case magistrate. If you want to delete your messages, be careful with backups. WhatsApp users cannot do anything with metadata, which does keep a finish line, but with the messages if they want to erase them effectively. As this case teaches us, it is not enough to delete them from our phone: if we make backup copies of our messages, it is important to activate the encryption of said backup copies. But special notice about backup copies. Special care with the encryption of backup copies, because it does not work as extreme encryption. The copies are encrypted with a password/password that you only know, and therefore it is convenient that it is strong not to be broken with brute force attacks, for example. WhatsApp in fact gives the option to create a 64 -digit key, but … she does it. Here are suspicions about how they manage that encryption password in Google/Apple/Meta, and if they can decipher it in some way for potential judicial requests. Be that as it may, the other solution, of course, is not to back up the messages of the messages unless you consider it absolutely essential.

Wine and beer have been moving tourists from all over the world for years. Now also the bread

by

It doesn’t matter if we talk about Madrid, Barcelona, ​​Zaragoza, Oviedo or Vigo. In any moderately large city in Spain (as in many other countries) it is difficult to go out and not find a place to buy A bread barbuns or a cross at a reasonable distance. They sell it in the neighborhood pastries, but also in supermarkets (grades and small) and of course in chains such as Starbucks or Dunkin. That does not mean that there are people willing to take the car or even get on a plane to try a special bread. In a world in which more and more travel And it is no longer surprising to speak oenological tourism and gastronomic excursions or dedicated to handmade beer (Craft Beer-Tourism) A new modality opens up: the Bakery tourism. Traveling with the palate. There is nothing written about trips. Nor about tourism or vacations. There are those who plan their getaways thinking about Paradisiac beacheswho prefers to spend their days free climbing mountainswho opts for cities, who prioritizes Quiet places To rest … and who directly decides his destination “listening” to his palate and the belly. It is nothing new. He wine tourismhe Beer-Tourism and the Gastronomic Tourism In general, it has been practicing for years and has become a business that moves billions of euros. According to Turespaña, only in 2022 (an exercise still marked by the pandemic) the tourists who visited Spain 22.7 billion of euros in en-gastronomic activities, which makes them one of the main sources of income for the sector. And of those that grow the most. @Nat.Majira Is called #LANNAN And it is in Edinburgh, it always has a tail and the #Croissant and #Painauchocolat They are your specialty 💖 #Edinburgh ♬ Original Sound – Nat.Maquirira Objective: Good bakeries. Not all travelers (and that includes from visitors from other countries to locals who plan small escapes) are looking for wineries, breweries or Michelin star restaurants. There are those who prefer sweet flavors and what they demand are handmade cupcakes or bakeries. A special bread. A brioche with its cream filling. A Babka particularly appetizing. A honey croissant. A Pain Au Chocolat. A cinnamon bun. The list adds and continues with pastry that travelers are looking for guided by Instagram or Tiktokspecialized forums or guides such as ‘Britain’s Best Bakeries’. Welcome to “Bakery Tourism”. The trend is extended enough to The Guardian I just dedicated A wide report in which he speaks of the “extraordinary boom of the Bakery Tourism“, a term that could be translated as” bakery tourism “or” pastry. As an example, he quotes an Edinburgh bakery, Lannan Bakerythat despite carrying open only a couple of years has managed to become a mecca of Bakery Tourism. “We had just received a person who came from Canada. And last year there was another from New Zealand who booked his trip to come,” says his pastry. Your Instagram profile adds around 103,000 followers And in Tiktok they can be found A good handful of publications about their buns and tartlets. @kimchiarepa Most famous bakery of Korea🇰🇷. #korea #Korea #성심당 #koreanbakery #Bakery ♬ Magnetic – Illit Does it happen only in the United Kingdom? Not at all. Arrives A quick search In Google to see how Pan and Bun tourism has its space share in other countries, including Morocco, Japan, the United States, Portugal, Türkiye, Germany or Argentina, such as I quoted recently The specialized website Travel and Tour World. Its logic is simple: cities take advantage of the attractiveness of pastry and traditional sweets to boost as a tourist destination. Nothing that did not have been doing wine warehouses, breweries and localities with Michelin star restaurants or culinary fairs for years. In the case of Portugal, for example, he quotes the popular ones Nata or Belem pasteswhich have already inspired several Guides and Routes By Lisbon focused right on that: show tourists where they can try them. Another word: “bbangjisullae”. Another country in which bread and tourism have marinated well is South Korea. Recently Korea Joongang Dailyk It echoed How there are Koreans traveling hundreds of kilometers, taking trains or spending the night away from home, in Airbnbs, to enjoy the best local refuel. There the trend has its own name: bbangjisullaea mixture of words BBANG (“bread”) and Seongjisullae (“pilgrimage”). And that does in some way those who practice it: a kind of “pilgrimage of bread.” The phenomenon also connects with an upward business in the country, that of the bakery, valued in around 5,500 million dollars and that according to the forecasts handled by the sector in mid -2024 faces a growth horizon. The data The food statistical information system also shows that the number of bakeries has grown clearly in the country: from 24,777 in 2020 to 28,070 in 2022. The franchisee premises however stagnated. Promoting the economy. That last nuance is interesting. Bread, buns and crosss can be bought in many businesses, from large pastmarkets baking chains; But the “bread pilgrims” look for a certain type of product. And how it reveals The report of The Guardian, They often resort to local businesses that can be far from the big cities. In Daejeon, the fifth largest metropolitan area of ​​Korea, stands out for example Sungsimdagfounded as a small bakery specialized in buns In 1956 and that has expanded since then until becoming a local icon. So much so that, according to the local tourism office, it was The most visited place by tourists who arrived in the city throughout 2022 and 2023. A good part of the surveyed travelers say that the pastry was one of the reasons that led them to know Daejeon. It is not a unique case. Something similar has happened in other locations of the US or of Australia. Images | Mark Ramsay (Flickr) and WEI (UNSPLASH) In Xataka | More and more people are going on vacation simply to sleep

A French people have to deal with an surprising incidence of ALS. The main suspect is a fungus

by

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, also known as ELA (ALS in English) is a disease capable of wreaking havoc in our nervous system. Today It has no cure And what we know about its origin is quite limited. Throughout decades of study, we have been discovering risk factors related to the appearance of this disorder but perhaps the strangest was detected a few years ago in a town in the French Alps. The unique case of Montchavin. A few years ago, a group of researchers discovered that the French people of Montchavin, located near the Alpine border with Italy, has a high incidence of ELA. After investigating the case, the team pointed out as possible culprit To a very concrete element of local gastronomy, the fungus Gyromitra gigasa type of false colmenilla or false morilla. ELA. The Amyotrophic lateral sclerosisknown among other names as Lou Gehrig’s disease, is a disease that affects neurons, both in our brain and spinal cord. It is a disease that is progressing until it ends the life of who suffers it. Today we do not know a cure, although there are treatments that relieve Some symptoms and increase the life expectancy of patients. The symptoms of this disease usually appear from the age of 50, although there are earlier cases, and They can start With problems walking, writing or speaking. The disease It generates the loss of muscle strength and coordination capacity, problems that extend to different muscle groups. Unknown cause. Today we have no accurate record of what mechanisms unleash this ailment, although we know Some risk factors correlated with their appearance. What we do know is that about 10% of cases are related to a genetic variant, and that the disease is more common among men than among women. Among the known risk factors are tobacco and exposure to certain environmental toxins. A higher prevalence has also been detected among people who did military service. The incidence of this disease It is between one and 2.6 annual cases per 100,000 inhabitants; with an approximate prevalence of about six cases per 100,000 per 100,000 people. An enigma in the French Alps. A few years ago, the cases of Montchavin unleashed the curiosity of the French neurologist Emmeline Lagrange. The health and its team accounted for 14 cases of ELA diagnosed between 1990 and 2018 linked to residents in this town, including migrants and people who had their second residence in Montchavin. Examining the case, the team did not find genetic factors that could justify the high incidence in the town. Although they found cases of smokers, they also ran into healthy habits in the group. Nor did they find clues of possible pollutants in land, air or water, or radon traces, a pollutant that could also be linked to this disease. From Pacific to France. As the journalist Terence Monmany narrates In an article For the medium Knowablethe team found a thread to throw on the remote island of Guam. On this island located in the archipelago of the Mariana Islands, in the Western Pacific, another team had detected a possible relationship between the consumption of potentially toxic seeds and the prevalence of neurological diseases (including ELA) among the natives. Although science is not settled in the causes of this epidemic, this hypothesis placed the consumption of food in the center of the debate. According to Detaine Monmanythe native chamorros treated these seeds with water to reduce their toxicity before their culinary preparation. This process would not be able to eliminate all toxins, giving rise to subsequent neurological damage. Gyromitra gigas. Something similar could be happening in Montchavin, not with seeds but with a mushroom. As the team observed, the cases could be drawn up to people linked to the collection and consumption of the fungus Gyromitra gigasa type of false morilla. It is a fungus in a toxic principle, but that, as in the case of Guam, can be treated to reduce its toxicity. In spite of this, the team maintains in its work that the incidence of the ELA in the town can be linked to its toxins and DNA lesions caused by these in the long term. The details of that study were published in 2021 In an article In the magazine Journal of the Neurological Sciences. A spurious relationship?

Its formula goes beyond a huge power

by

Irobot returns to the load with a new incorporation to its most advanced range. THE MAX 705 VAC ROOM arrives by muscle: nothing less than 13,000 suction pathe highest figure ever reached by a brand model. To get an idea, it is 180 times more powerful than the models of the 600 seriesa line that has been in the market for years and has been one of the most popular of the Irobot catalog. The American manufacturer, that was in conversations with Amazon for a possible purchase that finally did not come to fruitionHe wants to highlight this power as his great asset, although in the market there are equally ambitious rivals. He Roborock Qrevo Curv reaches 18,500 pa, and the DREame X50 Ultra Complete Raise the rod to some imposing 20,000 pa. More power implies better cleaning? If we talk about carpets or deal with the hairs of our pets, more power should guarantee greater cleaning. According to Irobotthis model is thought precisely for this type of households: it combines powerful suction with Two anti -re -gum brushesthat adapt to the type of soil and are designed to maintain constant contact with the surface. To this is added a corner and edges brush, and Carpet Boost technology, which automatically detects carpets to intensify the power. The Max 705 empty Roomba has also evolved in navigation and detection. It incorporates an artificial intelligence camera that allows to avoid common obstacles such as cables or socks, and has the Clearview Pro lidar technology, which maps the home with precision even at night. Thanks to the Dirt Detet system, it is also able to identify the areas with greater accumulation of dirt and repeat passes in those areas automatically. Of course, who looks for a scrubbing model must look at other catalog options. This model does not include a mop or system for cleaning wet spots. Where it does stand out is in connectivity. It can be controlled from the new Home Romba application, which allows you to schedule cleaning By room or specific areasadjust between four power levels and activate additional passs. It can also start from the robot itself or through voice commands. It is compatible with Alexa, Google Home and, at the end of the year, also with Apple Home through the Matter standard. As a good high -end model, the Max 705 vacu Roomba arrives based on AutoMpty highway. This system collects and stores dirt automatically up to 75 days in a closed bag that prevents the dust from returning to the air. As for the design, Irobot has opted for its well -known elegant lines and modern finishes. Price and availability of the new Max 705 empty The new Max 705 empty 699 euroswith shipments planned for “within a week.” In the United States, curiously, the price rises to $ 899.99. As of May 11, 2025, it will also be available in selected online stores. Images | Irobot In Xataka | The 2025 vacuum robots arrive with something we never saw: arms and legs have come out

Meanwhile, some players have been dealing with problems in their graphics for months

by

More than three decades ago, three engineers sat down to talk in Silicon Valley with an idea that would end up transforming the video game industry. Jensen Huang, Chris Malachowsky and Curtis Priem wanted to create a chip that would improve PC graphics. From that meeting Nvidia was born, and with it, the GPU as we know it. For years, the name of Nvidia has been synonymous with gaming experience in PC. If you have ever set up a computer to play, it is very likely that your graphics card will carry its logo. The brand has achieved something more difficult than technological innovation: build a faithful community that continues with enthusiasm every new release. Lately, however, something has changed in that relationship From the arrival of the RTX 50 series, with models such as The RTX 5090 and the RTX 5080complaints have been increasing. Many users have detected Failures in the controllersand the solutions do not finish arriving. In some cases it is possible to return to an earlier version to overcome errors, but those who have the most recent graphs do not have that possibility, since RTX 50 models are not compatible with the most stable previous versions, such as the 566.36. Reddit has become the center of complaintswith threads that accumulate testimonies of frustrated users. YouTube has also collected the echo of the problem With videos that document the problems. And we don’t talk only about noise on social networks: Nvidia herself has recognized Dozens of mistakes present in their latest drivers, which promises to solve in upcoming updates. Beyond the officially recognized problems, complaints about stability failures are frequent even among users of previous generations. Several players have reported black screens, unexpected reset, flickering, visual artifacts, load errors and forced closures in titles such as’Cyberpunk 2077‘ either ‘Star Wars Outlaws‘. The headquarters of Nvidia in Santa Clara, California Certain failures are related to specific configurations, for example, when using monitors with high soda rates, G-SNC activated or determined Displayport outputs, which complicates its diagnosis. All this comes after a premiere with stupy. Some RTX 5090 feed cables They have presented overheating. In addition, shortly after launch, some users detected that certain graphics cards of the RTX 50 series They had a lower number of rop units Regarding official specifications. Nvidia has confirmed that it is a manufacturing defect that affects less than 0.5% of models such as RTX 5090, 5090d, 5080 and 5070 TI. According to the company, the average impact on performance is 4% and does not affect artificial intelligence or calculation tasks. Nvidia main page in April 2025 (left) and in September 2018 (right) Meanwhile, the role of graphics in the Nvidia ecosystem is changing. They are still important, but they have stopped occupying the center of the stage. The company’s focus is now in artificial intelligenceand that shows not only in its public statements, but in the design of its website, which is far from what it was in 2012 or even in 2018. It is not the first time that a great technological is reconfigured. Microsoft, for example, had its nucleus in Windows for years, But it has diversified its portfolio of products and business units. That decision has been one of the keys that They have allowed him to stay competitive over time. Something similar happens with Nvidia. Founded in 1993, it continues to grow, it is still present and part of its solidity is due to the strategic decisions it has taken. With mistakes, with successes, but always in motion.

The company wants the name of the Pokémon filter and goes with all its legal arsenal

by

On the video game industry board, few pieces move as forceful as those of Nintendo when it comes to protecting what you consider. This time, the Japanese firm responsible for icons such as Mario, Zelda and Pikachu has launched a legal operation of surgical precision. Its objective is not a competitor, but an anonymous user of discord, indicated for having filtered Pokémon confidential content last summer. The episode of “Teraleak”. Baptized by the community as “Teraleak”, the incident meant one of the greatest content leaks in the saga in recent years. We do not talk only about loose data or minor details: among the filtered files there were preliminary versions of titles in developing and unpublished conceptual art, all related to the Pokémon franchise. An extremely sensitive material that, once outside, spread as a gunpowder in an environment where virality is the norm. The Nintendo Judicial Movement. According to documents published by Polygonon April 18, Nintendo submitted a citation request before the Federal Court of the Northern District of California. In it, he requires Discord to provide the user’s personal data identified as “Gamefreakout”: full name, physical address, telephone number and email address. The legal documentation also includes a capture of the “Freakleak” server, where that user shared the file in question. According to the company, after that initial publication there was a rapid diffusion of the content, although Discord received multiple DMCA applications for withdrawal. The damage was already done. A known strategy, a clear message. It is not the first time that Nintendo resorts to the courts to defend their intellectual property. In recent years He has managed to close portals like Romuniverse and Loveroms or Loveretro; And, in 2024, reached an extrajudicial agreement of 2.4 million dollars which forced the developers of emulators Yuzu and Citra to cease their activity. Github also withdrew 8 535 forks related to Yuzu. Each of those movements has left a trail: immediate closures, millionaire compensation and a warning that now resonates with renewed force. Filtering Nintendo material is not just risky: it is legally dangerous. Game Freak, the true target of the attack. Paradoxically, the gap did not open in Nintendo systems, but in those of Game Freak, the Japanese study responsible for the development of Pokémon games. As they recognized in a statementfiltration was the result of unauthorized access that left more than 2,600 personal records exposed. Game Freak claims to have rebuilt the affected and reinforced server its security measures, although the episode showed the fragility of certain infrastructure in the middle of 2024. The immediate future: And now what? The next play depends on the court. If he grants the citation and discord cooperates, Nintendo will be in a position to act with names and surnames. From there, the legal path could include different types of demands, although there is still no concrete information about the steps to follow by the company. For the user after “Gamefreakout”, anonymity could have the days counted. An industry on alert. What is at stake is not only an identity, but a precedent. Nintendo, with its relentless history, re -marks the path that other giants in the sector could follow. At a time when leaks are gestated and spread on community servers and social networks, the question is not whether it will happen again, but how those who have something to lose will answer.

LaLiga has in her hand to prevent people from stopping seeing illegal IPTV. You just have to imitate Netflix

by

The nightmare of IPS blocks by LaLiga continues. Not only that: it seems to increase. Soccer is becoming a problem For Internet users in our country, and are (we are) paying fair for sinners. Why is this happening? This is what we try to find out analyzing one of the potential root problems – the cost of seeing football – and stating those prices with what has happened on other streaming platforms. Why what works for Netflix or Spotify does not do so for football? Let’s see it. How much does football cost in Spain and Europe Today in Spain football fans depend on telephone operators to enjoy these broadcasts. If the objective is to be able to access all the First Division Soccer matches of LaLiga and those of competitions such as the Champions League, The options are two: Movistar+ and Orange. They told it a few months ago Our mobile Xataka companionswhich explained what were the disputes available plans, in which fiber, mobile and television are always combined in different versions. In those two cases Prices start from 115 euros per month of Movistar or the 80.95 euros per month of Orange (although without mobile data). O2 and Jazztel also offer some games, but much more limited: each day we have access to a LaLiga EA Sports (First Division) match, a Champions League match (if celebrated day) and three games of LaLiga Hypermotion (Second Division). That exclusivity of Movistar and Orange, however, They could change: Yoigo and Masmoble plan a television service with Orange TV infrastructure and in which 90 channels and all football will be included. At the moment there are no prices or defined availability date for this project. And in Europe? Other European countries have different costs, but it is important here to emphasize that the prices we will talk about are access to football without further ad I would go apart. Thus, we have: France: Dazn has a package to see all the link 1 for 35 euros per month (25 euros/month if you are under 26 years). Canal+ has a plan that also includes European competitions and costs 29.99 euros per month. Germany: In Dazn Unlimited All Bundesliga and Champions League matches for 34.99 euros per month are available. There are some optional platforms such as Sky with similar prices. Italy: DAZN offers all the A series A for 30 euros per month, while they can see the Champions League, it must be combined with Sky Italy, which has a cost of 25 euros per month. The total cost is therefore 55 euros per month. England: Sky Sports has all the rights to convey the matches, and the package costs about 22 pounds per month (26 euros/month). BT Sport broadcasts the Champions League, and the cost in that case is 25 euros per month, so the combined cost is about 51 euros per month. What is also true is that these amounts and these plans vary constantly and both operators and platforms offer constant promotions in order to capture more users. When Netflix taught us the way There was a time when music downloads or films on P2P networks were especially popular. That was cumbersome and illegal, but there were not many more options either. Or none. This was what was seen in Netflix in 2015, when he arrived in Spain. Everything would change with the arrival of Netflix, Spotify and its competitors, who showed that we could have streaming services of fantastic content, accessible, with a great catalog and with a more than reasonable price. Suddenly I was no longer compensated to be looking for other places: The legal alternative was really remarkable. The subscription model settled and became the norm, and thanks to a good balance, content companies realized something striking: the best way to fight illegal content was to offer a good service at an acceptable price. This principle has been corrupted in recent years: Servcios like Netflix have Uploaded prices Notably, they have stopped allowing Share accounts And they have also put ads, Like all its competitors. Users can protest (we protest), but time has proved those responsible for these services, who have not stopped growing and They are in record figures. How have things come out to Netflix? We can see it in two quite representative graphics of the situation. Since 2012, when the service began to be available in the US (arrived in Spain Something later), Netflix was raising prices more and more frequent. With each climb protests, yes, but … Sooner or later most return. Netflix price evolution in the US. These changes have been analogous in the rest of the world, and Spain is no exception. Source: The Verge. In fact, growth in users is apparently unstoppable in Netflix. The plan with advertisements, which we can criticize so much, It has been a resounding success And today more than half of the new subscribers arrive at the service thanks to this plan. Evolution of Netflix subscribers globally from 2011 to 2024. Source: Business of Apps. At present, the platform has More than 300 million subscriberswhen a decade ago The figure was five times lower (62.71, According to Business of Apps). There have been hardly two semester throughout its history in which there had The shared accounts or the plan with ads. That seems to make it clear that despite everything to millions of users They are still compensated by paying those subscriptions And not to go to illegal content distribution services, so if it works for them, what is happening with football in Spain? The Netflix of Sports Today the standard plan with Netflix ads costs 7 euros per month. Not bad, especially considering what football costs. Even considering the cost of the most affordable plans to see all football in Spain (with many asterisks, about 29 euros in Orange), the price both here and in other countries in Europe seems elevated. Seeing football in Spain costs about 30 euros a month with Orange … Read more

get on a peak and lower it skiing

by

The common of mortals we settle for spending the Holy Holidays trying to catch the first spring sun rays In some Mediterranean beach, In the Canary Islands Or, the most selfless, enjoying the tranquility of empty cities. However, when Mark Zuckerberg and you have the Third Major Fortuna in the Worldplans for those party days They are much more ambitious. The Founder of Meta has thrown of economic power Sent to its fleet of two superyates of 330 million dollars to make a journey of 8,500 km, just so that Mark Zuckerberg can lower skiing the slope of a mountain. Ski Vacation to another level. According to The published by LuxurylaunchesMark Zuckerberg has shown again his adventurous spirit organizing a Holy Week vacation in style, in which skiing was going to be the main ingredient. Therefore, he has sent his surgeate fleet valued at 330 million dollars to Norway. He Launchpad And its support boat, the Wingman, have had to travel a distance of about 8,500 km bordering the Arctic Circle to anchor in the Norwegian waters and wait for the Zuckerberg family there. The Plan: Practice Heliesquí or, in other words, climb by helicopter to the top of a mountain and Lower it skiing. To ski by boat. Although it may sound strange, expensive and extremely polluting, Mark Zuckerberg has its reasons for such deployment, as published the Swedish media NRK . THE LAUNCHPAD, A SUPPLY valued at 300 million dollars And with 118 meters of length, it served as a floating lijo residence for the millionaire, while the Wingmana support ship valued at 30 million dollars, made the support and heliport functions for the helicopter that would accompany them throughout the journey. During this vacation, Zuckerberg has taken full advantage of the possibilities offered by his fleet. Anchored in the Norwegian fjords, one of the more impressive landscapes And little traveled from the planet, the tycoon has deployed his helicopter since the helipad of his superyte to practice Heliesquí in the Norwegian mountains. Heliesquí with trick. As its name already indicates, this discipline consists of climbing a helicopter mountain and Descend skiing By pending virgin snow, an experience reserved only for the most adventurers and, in this case, for those who can afford such logistics deployment. Heliesquí’s practice requires special landing permits for the helicopter and, given the strict environmental measures in the areathey are not very supportive to give them for tourist reasons, as confirmed by NRK Børre Johansen, mayor of Hamarøy a population of northern Norway. However, Zuckerberg has found an ingenious solution: he does not need permits if the helicopter lands directly on his yacht and does not touch the mainland. Thanks to this legal lagoon, the billionaire has been able to descend down the slopes of the Norwegian mountains without bureaucratic restrictions, using the helipad of its yacht as the basis of operations to reach peaks in Norway or even cross to Sweden, skiing by unattainable slopes for most skiers and returning to their luxurious boat, everything without having to ask for authorization from the local authorities. Long distance fleet. It is not the first time that Mark Zuckerberg displays his fleet thousands of kilometers away from his base in San Francisco just to enjoy a luxury getaway. In 2024, the Launchpad navigated more than 7,700 kilometers From San Francisco to Tahitiwhere he remained anchored for more than two months waiting for the arrival of its owner. On that occasion, Zuckerberg never appeared, but the fleet was ready to receive it whenever.

The air fryers They had a small problem: they were small. Its capacity was (and is, in certain models) something scarce, which made it difficult to cook several foods at the same time. In response to this situation, brands bet on offering more capable and more powerful models with much more capacity thanks to larger baskets or directly putting two baskets next to the other. That solved the problem, but created another: the Airfryer became huge. And that, in a world in which the floors with large kitchens are subject to legend, is an inconvenience. Well, Cosori has found an ingenious solution. A bunk. The name, really, is tower design, but the reality is that its new air fryer reminds the concept of bunk. The Cosori Turbo Tower Pro Smart Chef Edition, which is what this new model is called, is a fryer with two independent baskets with ceramic coating and capacity to cook up to three dishes at the same time. It is a fairly ingenious idea whose goal is simply saving some space at home. Cosori Turbo Tower Pro Smart Chef Edition | Image: Cosori Large fryers. Cosori It is one of the great exponents of this sector and one of its most curious models is the Dual Blaze Twinfryan airfryer that measures the whopping almost 38 centimeters long. That makes it put in the kitchen a challenge, especially if we are short of space. A conventional air fryer, such as the popular CP158-AF of Cosori or that of 4.5 liters of Xiaomi, measures approximately 30 centimeters. The reality is impeccable: more capacity, larger size. But if we talk about fryers, it may grow in several directions. What if instead of growing to the side they did it up? Two vertical baskets. That is what Cosori has done. Its new fryer has two baskets, three resistances (one above and two in the lower basket) and two DC engines. The upper basket has a capacity of 4.3 liters and the lower one amounts to 6.5 liters. 10.8 liters in total. We can put a food below, a grid with a second food and, in the upper basket, a third food. In addition, it has a technology called Sync & Match that allows you to synchronize the baskets so that the cooked food ends at the same time. In that sense, it has a timer for up to 24 hours and a temperature range between 30 and 230ºC. Cosori Turbo Tower Pro Smart Chef Edition | Image: Cosori A matter of size. What do we have then? An air fryer with a width of 30 centimeters, as a basic model, but with a high of 40.5 centimeters. It occupies the same space in the countertop and does not bother. It is easier to make hollow to a high device than to a very wide one. In any case, it should be remembered that the fryer must have enough space on the sides and above to be able to ventilate. Between 15 and 20 centimeters is ideal. Price and availability. The Cosori Turbo Tower Pro Smart Chef Edition can be bought from now through the manufacturer’s website and on platforms such as Amazon or the English Court. Its price is 279.99 euros.
