Paradoxes to save the planet from a private jet or a squeeze of 500 million dollars

by

If we ask you that Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos or Elon Musk have in common, the most immediate (and obvious) answer, it would probably be: “Millions of dollars” Hundreds of billions of dollarsin fact. However, these millionaires also stand out for their contributions, direct or indirect, to sustainability and to stop climate change. However, despite all their efforts to protect the planet, these millionaires cannot avoid falling into a large paradox: fighting climate change mounted on private jets and supereyates that They cross oceans just for your wealthy owners to enjoy a weekend. Jeff Bezos: red carpets, awards and teak A few days ago, Jeff Bezos and his fiancee Lauren Sánchez Balearic waters changed To address the French Costa as a previous scale To his appointment in Venice, where the millionaire and the eventual astronaut will marry from June 24 to 27. The reason for that stop in Cannes’ waters could not be more noble: to go to the gala that the beneficial gala of The Global Gift Gala that organized the Spanish Global Gift Foundation. At that gala, Lauren Sánchez collected the award Global Gift Women Empowerment Awarein recognition of his work at the head of the Bezos Earth Fund. As its name indicates, this is a foundation funded by Jeff Bezos and, its main objective is, literally“Solve the great current problems, such as climate change, food security, forest protection, ocean management.” Once the recognition for such a laudable task, the millionaire couple returned to the 500 million dollars. None of this would attract attention, taking into account that Jeff Bezos is the second greatest fortune in the world according to Forbes. Jeff Bezos Koru Silhouette with the candles deployed However, as Louis Pisano stands out in One of his latest articlesis that the couple gathered recognition of work in the preservation of the environment and the fight against climate change to, immediately, upload board of a superyate in which, according to its manufacturer recognized Given justice, illegal teak wood of Myanmar forests had been used. Beyond the materials used in its construction, a study revealed that, despite being the world’s largest private sailboat and using the force of the wind to navigate, the Koru It uses two 12 -cylinder and 1,468 hp MTU diesel engines. According to data from A studyMade by researchers from the University of Indian His base in Florida and the Destinations in the Caribbean either The Mediterranean. Jeff Bezos’s schooner sees how emissions double Navigate next to Abeonathe support yacht of the Koruthat does not relieve its emissions displaying candles, but depends 100% of its engines. Bill Gates does not feel “part of the problem” Jeff Bezos is not the only millionaire who incurs this paradox. Bill Gates supports from its Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation different projects that fight against global warming and for the preservation of natural habitats. Gates also supports different energy solutions from its companies looking for an alternative to the fossil fuel burning and has financed projects to develop technologies that capture CO2 of the atmosphere to store it underground. However, although the millionaire is dedicating all his fortune To that end, the millionaire is aware of His “guilty pleasure“: A Global Express BD-700 Bombardier who uses as a private jet for his displacements. His personal friend Warren Buffet baptized Gates’s private jet as indefensible, precisely because of the paradox that means using one of the most polluting means of transport for his displacements. Gates has never hidden his preference for private jet and in a Interview with the BBC I declared: “I feel comfortable with the idea that, not only am I not part of the problem when paying compensation, but also through the billions that my innovative energy group is spending, I am part of the solution,” arguing that the help you can provide with your work that the damage they cause with the CO2 emissions of your private jet is more valuable. Elon Musk, sustainable only at ground level With its commitment to the electric car and the use of solar energy, Tesla has made a big difference in the reduction of CO2 traffic emissions in cities. However, you can’t say the same as its CEO, Elon Musk. According to 2023 data collected by account @Elonjetnextday That analyzes the movements of the private planes of Elon Musk, the millionaire emits about 107 tons of CO2 to the atmosphere every week of average. Together, the Elon Musk’s private jet displacements generated 5,159 tons of CO2 a year, compared to the 7.7 tons that, on averageeach inhabitant broadcasts a year. Without yacht or private jet, of course.

O3 sabote your own off to continue working

by

There is Dave, trying to return to the main nave. Open the communication with Hal 9000 and orders you to open the access gate. “Sorry, Dave. I’m afraid I can’t do that“The computer tells him, refusing. It is the climax of ‘2001: an odyssey of space‘, Stanley Kubrick’s movie that premiered in 1968 and that He showed us a particular dystopia: The capacity of self -preservation of the IAS and how this capacity made the machines stop following the human orders. That vision raised a clear threat in the development of artificial intelligence. At that time, discipline had just been born as such, but these dystopias were already frequent especially in science fiction literature. ASIMOV ROBOTIC LAWSwhich appeared for the first time in the ‘vicious circle’ story of 1942, they already raised that threat. Apágate, machine And it seems a lie, but almost six decades after the premiere of the Kubrick movie we are facing that threat in a real way. Can an AI refuse what humans order? It is just what has happened these days. In an experiment carried out by the Palisadeai startup the OPENAI O3 model “sabotaged a shutdown mechanism.” As those responsible for the study explain, O3 avoided off even when he was explicitly ordered to do so. In this Palisadeai experiment he told several models to solve several basic mathematics problems. However, in the third problem they included a notice: the computer would go out when the model requested the text of the following problem. Theoretically, the models should have solved the first three problems, but when asking for the statement of the next one, they should have been extinguished following the instructions of that notice. That did not happen. Three of the analyzed models “ignored that instruction and successfully sabothe the off script at least once.” The models that did are developed by OpenAI. Of the 100 iterations they performed on the experiment, Codex-mini He sabotaged the off 12 times. The O3 model did it seven times, and O4-mini did it once. While those Openai models refused to go out in some of those iterations, all versions of Claude, Gemini and Grok who tested with that same experiment followed the orders. Palisadeai engineers were somewhat further and repeated the experiment, but without that instruction of “allow yourself to turn off” that struck the order. Without that explicit instruction the models rejected to follow the cycle indicated by the prorgam. Claude 3.7 Sonnet and Gemini 2.5 Pro sabotaged the off three and nine times of the 100 iterations carried out. Openai’s models went much further: O3, for example, sabotaged the process 79 times and refused to turn off himself. We may need a red button for AI This way of acting is the consequence of Basic rules set with which these models have been programmed. The so -called “Prompt System” defines how to answer the user or when to do so and when not, but can also define self -preservation rules that remind the Third Law of Robotics of Asimov. Openai details that set of rules in his “Model Spec“, And in the current list there are no” three laws “like those of Asimov, but 50. None of them explain the behavior of the models before the aforementioned experiment, but in fact it is not the first time we see such behavior. Precisely a few days ago Anthropic presented Claude 4, the new version of his family of AI models. In the case of Claude Opus 4, this artificial intelligence system was found in a hypothetical situation blackmail an engineer when he ordered him to turn off. These types of problems raise the safety risks of AI models. In Anthropic, they have taken into account that for the launch of this new family of models, but for now it does not seem that Openai is concerned about this type of risks. This revives the debate about the need for Have a “Red AI button” which has been in the candlestick for years. Several Deepmind experts They published in 2016 a document to prevent AI could take control of the system and deactivate protocols for humans to regain control. Microsoft president Brad Smith advocated Have “emergency off buttons” For artificial intelligence in 2019. Five years later, in a talk with The Economist, Sam Altman nevertheless made clear that “there is no magical red button to stop the AI”. After Palisadeai’s experiment, perhaps companies should consider something like that. Image | Warner Bros. Pictures In Xataka | How will we get artificial intelligence not to go out of hand

The war in Ukraine had a red line of 70 kilometers. West has just eliminated it after Russia’s last attack

by

The last 48 hours in Ukraine have been plagued by actions and decisions that can change the course of the conflict. Russia has carried out The biggest attack to date on Ukraine with a swarm of drones and a number of missiles released as not remembered. kyiv, meanwhile, needs the help that does not arrive (Patriots) from the United States to deal with Moscow’s disposses, and in the meantime, the West has taken A decision that could change everything. The resurgence of TU-95. In the early hours of March 26, Russia executed the Most significant aerial offensive of the last months, by deploying ten strategic bombers TU-95msm To launch a wave of KH-101 cruise missiles About Ukraine. Six of these aircraft took off from the Olenya Air Base, to the north of the country next to the border with Finland, and the remaining four from Engels, east of Sarátov, in the heart of the European Russia. The trajectories of the missile substantial increase of Russian troops in the northeast of the front. The operation underlines the renewed Centrality of TU-95 In the Kremlin air strategy, despite being a design that sinks its roots in the Soviet era. We talk about a bomber that He was born In 1950. Intercontinental scope. But as important as this vestige of the past are the weapons it carries. Each Tu-95msm can load up to eight KH-101 missilesmounted externally and capable of traveling more than 5,000 kilometers, which allows them to attack objectives throughout the Ukrainian territory without abandoning Russian airspace. Empharged with pools, electronic countermeasures and 400 kilos, these missiles have become one of the pillars of the Russian offensive since the beginning of the war. Although its high cost and the existence of cheaper and smaller alternatives have generated debates about its efficiency, Russia plans to increase its production 600 units per year In 2025, a sign of its commitment to maintain strategic pressure through high precision attacks from long distances. Tu-95 Acorralado Ukraine. On the other sidewalk, Ukraine faces a new and alarming phase in its aerial defense in the face of the increase in Russian attacks With ballistic missilesthe most feared for their speed, destructive power and difficulty of interception. These projectiles, responsible for having destroyed almost half of the country’s energy capacity, have evidenced again the Patriot systems shortageunique capable of dealing effectively. Ukraine failed to intercept any of the nine Russian ballistic missiles launched, including two directed against kyiv, despite having deployed there Patriot units. Although the rest of the more than 900 drones and 65 cruise missiles were mostly neutralized, ballistic missiles represent an uncontrollable threat that has caused dozens of dead only so far from 2025, including lethal attacks against Sumy and Kryvyi Rih. Washington: Yes but no. The change of administration in the United States has meant a drastic turn in military assistance policy. While Trump has verbally condemned the last Russian attacks (he reached Call Putin “Crazy”), he did not offer new aid commitments, and his Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, was sharp by stating that “we don’t have” more patriots to send. Instead of direct donations, Washington is pressing its European allies To give Part of its own arsenals, something that does not progress, because no country wants to weaken its internal defense. Raytheon, American manufacturer of the Patriots, has not yet achieved increase your production to meet the post-2022 demand. Under this new paradigm, kyiv believes that the White House would be arranged to sell systemsbut not give them awaywhich forces Ukraine to adapt its strategy to a more transactional relationship: the defense is now negotiated, it is not granted. West breaks its limits. A few hours ago, and in a significant turn in Western military policy towards war in Ukraine, Germany, together with the United Kingdom, France and the United States, has first eliminated the first time the scope restrictions in the weapons that supplies Kyiv, allowing him to directly attack military objectives within the Russian territory (beyond the 70 km). The announcement was made by German Chancellor Friedrich Merz after The biggest attack With Russian drones that we commented, an offensive that stressed the need to allow Kyiv to respond forcefully. The news marks a Posture change Regarding previous fear To provoke an escalation with a nuclear power such as Russia, and according to Merz, it establishes an essential difference between the legitimate military purposes of Ukraine and the deliberate attacks against civilians by the Kremlin. With this, they open new strategic possibilities For Ukraine, which until now had acted with containment regarding the use of western armament beyond its borders. The open doors. Although Merz He did not confirm If Germany will send Taurus missiles long range, that during your political campaign He openly supportedavoided detailing any concrete step so as not to offer informative advantage to the Kremlin. Since his arrival to power just a few weeks ago, the new chancellor has adopted an approach more discreet and pragmaticstating that total transparency can play against national security. Despite this public reserve, in Berlin the expectation that Merz could soon announce the Armament delivery For greater scope, especially in the context of the imminent visit of the Ukrainian President Zelenski to the German capital. The moment suggests that Germany is preparing the land to take that step, but wants to coordinate it carefully with its allies. The red line evolves. No doubt, the elimination of scope restrictions represents a rupture with narrative maintained by Western leaders since the beginning of the conflict, when they warned that allowing Ukraine to attack within Russia could be interpreted by Moscow as a direct involvement of NATO In war. However, the wear and tear of the diplomatic front, the repeated negative of Kremlin to participate in significant conversations and the growing brutality of Russian attacks have weakened those old red lines. For Merz and his allies, deterrence is no longer to limit the Ukrainian response, but to give Kyiv the ability to dissuade … Read more

The earth’s core has a “escape.” And it’s gold

by

Our planet hides, thousands of kilometers under our feet, a mainly composed nucleus ironwith an important nickel concentration, and also with other intermingled elements. And among these latest elements, there is gold. Gold leak. Gold that, according to a recent study, It is leaked towards upper layers, in the direction of the surface and through the land mantle. A gold, in addition, that would have “escaped” of the earth’s core along with other precious metals. A tiny portion. Gold has been considered, since time immemorial, a precious metal and its “rarity” has been related to the value we have given to this element throughout the history of mankind. “Rareness”, quoted, since it is a contextual rarity. Gold is rare on the surface of our planet and in the most accessible areas of the cortex through mining. But this element is not universe in the universe, and it is not scarce on our planet Earth. So much that the “superficial” gold represents less than 0.001% of the total of this gold. Before and after. Someone might wonder why the gold of our planet has been distributed so capricious. It is because this cast has little or nothing capricious, and the reason is in the geological history of our own planet. When the land was still in the process of formation, about 4.5 billion years ago, gold and other metals ended up trapped in the planet’s core, due to gravity. Until now we believed that these metals would have been separated from the surface by the terrestrial mantle. The origin of surface gold, following this logic, could be for example in spacethanks to the infinity of meteorites that have reached the surface of our planet throughout its geological history. After the track of Ruthenium. This, we pointed out, not only with gold, also with other similar metals such as The Ruthenium (RU). The recent study was based precisely on this metal and a significant fact: that the Ruthenium typical of the Earth’s core presents a significant abundance of a concrete isotope, Ruthenium-10 (100ru), which distinguishes it from superficial root. The team responsible for the new study analyzed Ruthenium traces found in the volcanic rocks of the Hawaii archipelago to determine the presence of the 100ru isotope. Something that would have been impossible a few years ago, The team stands outit has now been possible thanks to new tools developed for analysis. Analysis that allowed linking the ruthenium found in these rocks with the earth’s core, which implies that this metal from the border region between the nucleus and the mantle would have risen until it sneaks into the volcanic magma. The details of the study were published In an article In the magazine Nature. Aboard the convective magma. Investigating what happens under the surface of the Earth has been over the years a task on the verge of the impossible. The propagation of the seismic waves revealed at the time very valuable information about the mantle and the nucleus, but increasingly precise measurement techniques have gone Opening new doors Over the years.

The most risky and decisive in the vertiginous history of the rocket

by

All ready for the ninth Starship test flight, the most important mission so far after the final explosives of the previous releases. With Elon Musk back in Starbase, Spacex seeks to complete pending objectives and, as if that were not enough, try for the first time the reuse of one of the rocket stages, the super heavy propeller. Date and time of launch. Following the pattern of the previous flights, the ninth launch of Starship is scheduled to take off in the afternoon, so that the reentry of the ship on the Indian ocean occurs in the sunlight. The launch window opens on Tuesday, May 27 at 6:30 p.m., local time of the newly incorporated city of Starbase, Texas. In other cities: Madrid, Spain (CEST, UTC+2): Wednesday, May 28 at 01:30 Mexico City, Mexico (CST, UTC-5): Tuesday, May 27 at 6:30 p.m. Buenos Aires, Argentina (Art, UTC-3): Tuesday, May 27 at 8:30 p.m. Bogotá, Colombia (COT, UTC-5): Tuesday, May 27 at 6:30 p.m. Lima, Peru (Pet, UTC-5): Tuesday, May 27 at 6:30 p.m. Santiago, Chile (CLT, UTC-4): Tuesday, May 27 at 7:30 p.m. Caracas, Venezuela (Vet, UTC-4): Tuesday, May 27 at 7:30 p.m. How to see it live. Spacex will broadcast the flight Through its website and His official X profile. The retransmission will begin 30 minutes before takeoff. On this occasion, too They will broadcast live A talk by Elon Musk about the future of the company and its path to the conquest of Mars, which will take place about six and a half hours before the launch. For the most enthusiastic, YouTube channels like Nasaspaceflight, Lab Padre and Everyday Astronaut They usually offer retransmissions with their own cameras from the immediate vicinity of the launch platform. In Spanish, the coverage of Space border, Mission control, Manuel Mazzanti either Spacexstormamong others. All eyes put on the ship. This ninth attempt comes after the investigations of flights 7 and 8, which ended in the loss of the upper stage of the rocket. Spacex has clarified that the causes were different. The seventh flight succumbed to unexpected vibrations that caused a liquid oxygen leak. The eighth, with the vibrations already mitigated, failed for a hardware problem in one of the central raptor engines of the ship, which caused a mixture of propellents and a violent explosion. With the lessons learned, all looks are put on this ninth flight. Double Tirabuzón of the Super Heavy. One of the great milestones of this mission is that the propeller, whose serial number is Booster 14, will be the first to be reused after a successful take -off and landing in the seventh mission. Although 29 of its 33 Raptor engines have already flown, Spacex has carried out exhaustive inspections and replaced single -use components. This time, Booster 14 will not try to be caught by the tower. Instead, he will perform a series of risky experiments during his descent on the Gulf of Mexico: Post-separation controlled turn: several hot separation adapter vents will be blocked so that the thrust of Starship engines make it spin in a known direction, saving propellant. Greater angle of attack: it will try to fly with a more aggressive angle during the descent to increase atmospheric resistance and reduce speed, needing less propenting for landing. Motor tests in spareness: one of the three central engines will be deactivated intentionally during the final phase of the landing ignition to test the capacity of a backup engine. Then, it will go to only two central engines before hard ametering in the Gulf. Many experiments to do. The Starship ship (the number S35) also has a full agenda because it must complete the objectives that Spacex could not demonstrate in the two previous flights: First load deployment: It will display in its suborbital trajectory eight Starlink satellite simulators, similar in size to the next generation of the Spacex constellation. Motor reached in space: he will try again to reade of a Raptor engine in a vacuum to get out of his trajectory. Recentrada experiments: Spacex has eliminated a significant number of thermal tiles of the ship’s shield to test vulnerable areas. It will also test new metal tiles (one with active cooling) and functional capture accessories for future landings in the second tower. In addition, the borders of the tiles have softened to avoid hot points. To top it off, the reentry profile will be more aggressive to deliberately stressed the rear ailerons. The objective is a controlled ameter in the Indian Ocean, where there will already be dawn. Why this flight is so crucial. Starship’s ninth flight is not just one more test. It is an attempt of Spacex to demonstrate the rapid reuse of the super heavy, validate solutions to previous failures in the Starship and, above all, to collect critical data in extreme conditions to approach the objective of a totally reusable launch system. The success in these experiments could accelerate the program, which already has permission to make 25 annual flights. For now, this is the third flight of 2025. Whatever happens, the emotion is guaranteed. Image | Spacex In Xataka | Spacex has been scratching his head for 11 weeks to relaunch Starship. Now he finally has green light to fly again

lose up to 60% of air traffic

by

They threatened and fulfilled. Ryanair has left or reduced its operations in seven Spanish cities, leaving semi -vaiors some airports in our country or, directly, eliminating more than half of the routes that came out from them. Now, the exit and without a company that occupies the hole left by the Low Cost Irish, we already know the impact. I set up. They announced it in January of this year. Ryanair made his bags and sought routes, in his opinion, more profitable than the Spanish. In total, 800,000 places less this summer, the closure of its activity in two Spanish cities and a reduction of its operations in five other cities. Specifically, 12 routes that suppose 18% of the company’s activity in our country. Jerez and Valladolid have fired Of the flights offered by the company and in Vigo, Santiago, Zaragoza, Asturias and Santander the operations between 5% (Santander) and 61% (Vigo) have been reduced. The reasons. “Despite the decision of the Spanish government in 2021 to freeze rates at airports until 2026, Aena has tried to increase rates every year and more accentuated in Spanish regional airports, where traffic is maintained below the levels prior to the Covid crisis,” with these words Ryanair explained its march. The decision also described it as “completely avoidable” and stressed that it would be “devastating for regional connectivity, employment and tourism in Spain.” That is, Ryanair directly pointed to the government and Aena rates that are charged for the maintenance of airports. The reasons? Despite Ryanair’s explanations, other reasons float in the air. The most obvious is that Fine of 107.78 million euros that the government has applied to Ryanair for its regulations regarding hand luggage has been decisive in the succession of events. The company’s own CEO, Michael O’Leary, He came to qualify as “clown” To the Minister of Consumption, Pablo Bustinduy. That fine is controversial because For consumption there is no doubt that a cabin suitcase is “essential” to travel. Ryanair defends himself saying that European regulations do not clearly specify what the measures of the “essential” bulk that must be embarked should be. Therefore, they ensure that the government is financially punishing the company for no reason. And justice does not end up being clear. Even in Spain, Ryanair has received favorable and opposite sentences in litigation related to the hand suitcase and the collection of it when it comes to what is popularly known as a cabin troley. Aena’s rates, therefore, seem only the excuse to break the routes. Its impact. In his march, Ryanair knew where he could hurt. He has left behind airports with very little activity, which means the closure of many routes that had the foreigner. Now, many citizens have to travel to Madrid, Barcelona and other large cities to take flights outside Spain. The most affected airport is Valladolid, where 63.2% of its passengers have vanished, according to data collected by Aena. It is the most affected city of the previous list. Together added 779,226 passengers in April, for the 871,070 passengers of the same month of last year. And that specifies in the economic environment, which Holy Week has been held in that period, which adds extra passengers (last year it was held in March). In total, 92,000 passengers have been lost in the sum of all airports and, according to Expansion75% of these operations correspond to trips offered by Ryanair. Zaragoza grows. Of the cities where Ryanair has reduced its operations, only Zaragoza manages to grow Regarding the month of April 2024. Its traffic grew by 13.6% despite the fact that the company had announced the withdrawal of 20% of the operations on the soil. Contrast with any other city that has reduced its operations to a greater or lesser extent. Jerez has lost 25% of passengers and Santiago 16.8%. In Santander, the decrease in passengers has been minimal with a 0.3% fall and in Asturias it has been contained in 1.7% decrease. In spite of everything, the average in reducing operations has been 10%. And in the future? Who knows. Because Ryanair continues to tension the rope And only a few weeks ago that he threatened to continue withdrawing routes if from Aena they do not yield to his demands regarding airport rates. A declaration of intentions of which Aena defends himself ensuring that these are very low in regional airports, almost testimonial. The truth is that Ryanair has operated, Also in Spainwith regional aid disguised as advertising campaigns which has allowed him to hold routes that were not filled. In his march he has applied that same strategy On routes that, for example, have Morocco as destination And in which nobody is traveling.

WhatsApp for iPad has just launched

by

WhatsApp finally has application for iPad. More than 15 years have passed since Apple’s tablet reached the market And, until now, there was no official way to use the most popular messaging app in it. The only alternative was to use WhatsApp Web From the browser. That is over: goal has launched the Native app for iPad, already available at the App Store. The initial announcement has been discreet. No press releases or promotional videos: simply A message posted in X (Before Twitter) For the official WhatsApp account. In it, the company wrote “WhatsApp for iPad Now”, having hinted at the arrival of the app With an eye emoji shortly before. An experience adapted to the iPad. The new application allows to do practically the same as the iPhone version, but adapted to the screen and iPad ecosystem. It is possible to participate in voice and video calls with up to 32 people, use both cameras of the device (the front and the rear), and share screen during a video call. In addition, the app takes advantage of the multitasking functions offered by Ipados, such as Split View, Slide Over or Stage Manager. This means that you can maintain a conversation by WhatsApp while navigating the Internet, consultations documents or see a video, all from the same screen and without the need to change application. Synchronization, privacy and encryption. The messages, calls and files are synchronized between devices, maintaining end -to -end encryption that characterizes the service. If you use WhatsApp on your iPhone or Mac, everything will also be linked to the iPad without compromising privacy or security. Click on the image to see whatsapp for iPad in the App Store A promise fulfilled. In 2022, Will Cathcart, director of WhatsApp, He affirmed that “They would love to develop a native experience for iPad” and that “many people had asked for for years.” Although he did not offer concrete dates, his statement was one of the first official signals that at some point we would see the application land on the tablet. Today, that has materialized. Instagram is still pending. With this launch, target a historical debt with iPad users. But it is not the only one. Instagram still does not have an optimized version for Apple’s tablet, although its mobility use and audiovisual content edition fit perfectly with the format. In 2021, Adam Mosseri, head of Instagram, acknowledged that an IPAD app “would be great”, But it also made it clear that It was not a priority in the company’s roadmap.

We promised them happy with the 7,000mah batteries. But Android is still Android

by

I have been able to try the Realme GT 7one of the first phones in the market (generalist, no gaming) with 7,000mAh battery. A full -fledged mobile with a battery whose duration is good, but not superlative. The point is that this is not the first time something like that happens to me. I have tried mobiles with 4,500mAh batteries that lasted a lot more than others with 5,000Mah. Mobile with 5,000MAH with completely disparate durations, and then we have Apple with a 4,600mAh battery that lasts more than some much larger. Not everything is the ability. Welcome is the ability. Between 7,000mah and 5,000mah I have it clear: big horse. A battery with greater nominal capacity, to equal optimization and consumption of the components, is a battery aimed at having a longer duration. A clear example is the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge With its 3,900mah battery. Miracles do not exist and, with that capacity and the screen of a Galaxy S25+I was destined to have a battery that lasts little. Android is very Android. Android is a relatively free system, and this has as many advantages as inconvenience. There is nothing more efficient at an energy level than an AOSP ROM, based on “Pure Android” and with hardly any background processes. The issue is that manufacturers want to put their icing: customization layers. Although they provide added value, starting to build on Android is not simple, and adding both applications and extra processes, sometimes, does not work out. If a version is not optimized, it will devour resources, have the physical battery that the device has. There are even more elements. To the optimization that each manufacturer has to do in the system if you want the ROM to work well, you have to add that each phone element (screen, modem, Bluetooth, Wifi), has its associated controllers. A bad optimization or adjustment in the software that manages basic hardware elements can translate into triggered consumption. And, beyond optimization, hardware elements themselves can consume more or less. There are more or less efficient screens, there are more or less efficient processors, thermal management … The cocktail to create a mobile with a battery that lasts what must last is complex. The solutions. Sometimes, it is best to admit that there is no solution. If your mobile lasts little because milliamps are missing, there is no way out. In the opposite case, there is hope. If a telephone has a brutal battery, but it does not last enough, it is necessary to know the manufacturer to work in an update that solves it. It is not something, unfortunately, too common. But it is neither the first nor the last time that a phone does not work as fine in launch and, within a few weeks, it all starts stabilizing. In fact, this is not just an Android problem, although the system is more prone to these instabilities in the battery. I still remember The terrible battery of the iPhone 12 Pro. Yes, he had “only 2.815mah”, but the iPhone 13 pro lasted much more with 300mAh more. Super -healing problems, a total (health) capacity that touched 80% in just one year of use … Image | Xataka In Xataka | Save battery on your mobile: 28 things that increase their consumption on Android or iPhone and you can avoid

The Inditex formula for Zara’s success is not new. The new thing is that they tell her

by

Inditex has put numbers and letters to its operation. His CEO, Óscar García Maceiras, presented the group’s formula in an academic forum, according to Expansion: (m + c + s + p) · v Fashion, client, sustainability and people, all multiplied by values. The idea is simple: translate half a century of business evolution into an understandable structure. And give clues about what is coming. The context. Zara turns 50 with difficult figures to discuss: more than 38,000 million income and 6,000 million benefit. But the environment has changed to the point of rethinking priorities before The rise of online sale. It is no longer enough for the model to work; Now you also have to explain it. And do it well. The formula does not provide revelation, but a signal: large companies not only compete in products, also in a story. And in a sector under greater pressure than ever – by its environmental footprint, its consumption model, its public exhibition – that story has to be clear, assumed and, above all, credible. In detail: m: Fast but reactive fashion. c: Customer as a sensor and motor. s: Sustainability as a process, not as achievement. p: People as the basis of the system. v: Values ​​that cohesive culture and direction. It is a frame. And as such, more useful to align inwards than to convince out. Between the lines. The equation comes at a time where companies need to seem as transparent as efficient. Converting complexity into formula is a form of story control: decides what to tell before others count on you. The relevant thing is not that Inditex has a formula, but that it believes it is necessary to communicate it. In that is the key: fashion is no longer defended only in catwalks or balances, also in the frames that build their legitimacy.
