Take a few days off and take advantage of them to make a trip or an escape is fantastic. If we go to a hotel or an accommodation, most likely we have available a Wi -Fi network to connect and continue sailing, either to look for things on the Internet or to kill dead time watching some movies. The problem is that These unknown networks can become dangerous. These or the public wifi networks that we are in shopping centers can have behind scammers or criminals willing to intercept traffic. With this, it is not difficult to steal passwords or personal data. The best way to protect ourselves goes through Get us with a good VPN And, among all the payment options, one of the cheapest has surfshark: it goes out for 2.19 euros a month. Surfshark Starter Subscription – Monthly * Some price may have changed from the last review Use a VPN to protect yourself when you leave home If we search on the Internet, it is not difficult find free VPN. These are fine to get out of trouble, although they offer a limited service and, in most cases, slow. An investment in a payment VPN is very worth it if we usually connect in unknown or out of home, especially when it comes to an investment as surfshark. This VPN is also very useful, if we usually use several devices connected to the Internet. Surfshark admits all the devices we want with a single accountwhich is ideal to carry it installed everywhere. Thus, we can protect ourselves in an unknown network, whether we are going to make a purchase with the laptop and if we are going to use our bank’s app on the mobile. Surfshark includes its VPN in its most economical subscription, called Starter. This also includes another tool called ALTERNATIVE ID. Thanks to this, we can create a series of fictitious data to be able to use them on web pages in which we do not want to enter personal information. The Starter Plan comes out of 2.19 euros A month, so two full years of the service would come out for only 55.56 euros. If we take into account that the normal price of this subscription for two years is 439 euros, the truth is that it is a real discount.

Blue Origin now has a golden opportunity to advance Spacex on trips to the moon. And he is taking advantage of it

by

The Lunar exploration panorama has changed with the new US administration. Blue Origin, the Jeff Bezos space company, is strategically positioning to capitalize on the recent turbulence of the NASA Artemis program. Short. With Boeing and Lockheed Martin outside the future lunar missions after the Cancellation of the SLS Rocket and the Orion shiptwo companies are the clear favorite to reconfigure the NASA Artemis program. Although Spacex has led the commercial narrative so far, its focus centered on Mars and the Technological developments of competition They could offer Blue originated a window to, if not advance, at least equate forces in the race towards our natural satellite. First flight this year. John Couluris, the leader of Blue Origin’s lunar efforts, has revealed New details about architecture and The road map From the company’s missions to the moon. In a presentation of the Lunar Surface Innovation Initiative Conference, Couluris said Blue Origin planned to do A demonstration flight without crew from its lunar module Blue Moon Mark I to the South Pole of the Moon before the end of the year. Blue Moon Mark I. Blue Origin’s first lunar module was designed to launch aboard the new Glenn rocket. Driven by a single be-7 engine of liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen, can transport up to 3.9 tons of load anywhere in the lunar surface with a precision in the alun of less than 100 meters, according to Blue Origin. The Mark I will not only serve as a test bench for technologies of the future Blue Moon Mark II ship, Yes with the ability to carry astronautsbut it will transport commercial and NASA useful charges to the Moon, including an experiment to measure the impact of the BE-7 engine on the lunar surface. Blue Moon Mark II. Blue’s true bet for dominating trips to the Moon is its Blue Moon Mark II, capable of taking four astronauts or between 20 and 30 tons of load to the Moon, depending on whether it is the reusable or disposable version. Here the newly announced Cislunar Transporter comes into play, a key piece that improves Blue Origin’s strategy with that of Spacex and its gigantic Starship ship. This vehicle, also driven by BE-7 engines, is designed to transport up to 100 tons of load from the low terrestrial orbit to a lunar orbit. Cislunar Transporter. Blue Origin’s lunar architecture begins with a New Glenn rocket by placing the transport in the low terrestrial orbit. Additional rocket launches would take advantage of the upper stage of the New Glenn to fill the liquid hydrogen and oxygen tug tanks. Once full, the Transporter southern would travel to an almost rectilinear halo (NRHO) next to the moon. The Blue Moon Mark II lunar module, thrown into another New Glenn, would go to that same orbit, where it would be attached to the transport to recharge its tanks, obtaining the necessary fuel to alunize and return to the NRHO. Simpler than Starship. Blue Origin’s architecture is easier than the HLS system of Spacex, in which a starship stays in terrestrial orbit and has to be coupled with several starship-cysterna (a maximum of eight, a maximum of eight, a maximum of eight, According to Elon Musk) Before recovering enough fuel to travel to the moon. On the other hand, Blue Origin is moving forward in the storage technology of cryogenic propellants without evaporation (“Zero Boil-Off”) that he hopes to demonstrate in June 2025 to solve one of the main problems of liquid fuels in long-term missions. An opportunity. These Blue Origin advances charge special relevance to the drastic cuts proposed for NASA. The 2026 budgets propose the cancellation of the SLS rocket and the Orion ship after the Artemis III mission, scheduled for 2027, which will use a Spacex starship to transport astronauts from the lunar orbit to the satellite surface. This dismantling of the Artemisa program As we know it leaves a vacuum that the White House intends to fill with rockets and commercial ships that allow more ambitious subsequent lunar missions. Although Spacex with Starship is an obvious candidate, Blue Origin is making it difficult.

May 22, 2025. A little over a year ago that Xiaomi announced its first electric car, the Xiaomi Su7. Since then, the company has generated a flood of news related to its recent incursion into the electric car market. From the positive with reservations that were exhausted in minutes And the launch of A sports version that removes the hypo even the most negative related to its quality and an alleged misinformation campaign. Now, the company presents its Second electric car. An electric SUV that powerfully remembers Ferrari Purosangue ahead and Aston Martin’s models from behind, just like Su7 remembered Porsche Taycan. We must remember that what we see here as a copy there looks like a compliment, the intention of sitting at the table with the best. That said, we review everything that has given the presentation of the new Xiaomi Yu7. Why does an electric car have less autonomy than the announcing Everything that has already been confirmed by the new Xiaomi Yu7 When revealing the new Xiaomi Yu7 it has been known that we are facing a car 4.99 meters long, 1,996 wide and 1,608 meters high. The battle is three exact meters so we can expect a huge interior space. Although the exterior forms of the Xioami Yu7 already knew them because Lei Jun himself, CEO of the company, had made them public, today we have known that the electric SUV will arrive with an extension of the color palette, with new Green and Gray With aluminum finish. It has insisted that the new car maintains the same design language. The body also highlights the use of active aerodynamics to improve car consumption data. The company ensures that on the front they have an adjustable air input in 100 positions. We had already been able to see some images of the new electric car of the company. One day before the presentation it was revealed that The Xiaomi Yu7 will display a Head-Up Display Huge that crosses all the width of the vehicle. This is what the brand calls Hypervision Hud (HUD). The screens and data game is one of the great purchase incentives of this car against Xiaomi Su7. The HUD has a miniled technology, a brightness of 1,200 nits and distributes the information to driver and passenger. To the first, for example, it shows the functions of instrument chart and in the center the reference information is maintained. Graphics available for the Xiaomi Yu7 Hud The graphics are configurable and will adopt different patterns depending on whether the car is underway, the chosen mode or if it is stopped and wants to navigate the music applications. The latter powerfully remembered the library of an iPod. The brand has taken special care in the Interior environment. The front seats are designed to be comfortable while driving but also to rest and turn them into little less than a bed when the car is detained. The same goes for the rear seats, which can be reclined in 135. In addition, special effort has been made to highlight the wide habitability of the interior in front of those who consider direct rivals: Tesla Model and and Porsche Cayenne. That luxury approach has taken many other details of the car. Lei Jun already mentioned in his social networks publications that the approach was that of “luxury car.” Details such as automatic doors should delve into it. Also in the treatment of painting that is double cape and has a job of different tones to give it a pearly appearance. As for its connectivity with other Xiaomi devices, during the presentation it has been shown how the company’s mobile phones will communicate with the electric SUV. Thus, three seconds standing in front of the car will cause the front hood to be released and the driver has direct access to a huge 141 -liter flaretero. Also some connectivity functions, such as the opening of the doors, will be available from their smart watches. Already in the mechanic section, the car will be sold with three versions, the Xiaomi Yu7, a Pro version and a third Max that we put to break down: Benefits Xiaomi Yu7 Xiaomi Yu7 Pro Xiaomi Yu7 Max Engine V6 plus V6 plus V6 plus POWER 315 hp 489 hp 680 hp Motor torque 528 Nm 690 nm 866 Nm 0 to 100 km/h 5.88 seconds 4.27 seconds 3.3 seconds Point speed 240 km/h 240 km/h 253 km/h Loading power 235 kW 365 kW 508 kW Autonomy (Chinese approval) 835 km 770 km 760 Focusing on autonomy, Xiaomi wanted to make it clear that they get better figures than the Porsche Macan Electric and the Mercedes EQS SUV despite having less battery. The Xioami Yu7 mounts an energy accumulator with a 96.3 kWh battery, while the Xiaomi Yu7 Max stretches up to 101.7 kWh. Using an 800 volt platform, he says that in 12 minutes they can go from 10 to 80% of the battery capacity in 12 minutes, which corresponds to 670 kilometers. The comparisons with the Tesla Model and the Porsche Macan are blushing. The former need 27 minutes to move from 10 to 80% of the recovered battery and the latter spend 21 minutes. Chip designed to improve autonomous security and driving. Especially important considering that just a few days ago that Three people died aboard an Xiaomi Su7 and it is believed that the driver had active semi -automatized driving functions.

Dua Lipa closed the meadow and came out with a video. Mrbeast entered the Mayan pyramids and has come out with a demand under his arm

by

The visits of Influencers With millions of followers to cultural places it has become a controversial trend. A few days ago, Dua Lipa closed the Prado Museum. A few weeks before, Mrbeast accessed to restricted stays only to researchers in some of the Most important Mayan enclaves from Mexico. None of those events has gone unnoticed For the public debatebut in the case of Mrbeast, the issue is about to take him before the courts, as he pointed out The New York Times. Mrbeast discovers the Mayan culture. What was going to be a video of Disclosure on Mayan culture of the youtuber with more followers of the platform, it has signs of becoming In a legal maze With the Mexican government. In it Video in question The popular YouTuber is shown accompanied by its usual collaborators exploring different Mayan archaeological places in Mexico. During the video, visitors access, accompanied by a guideto areas restricted to the public From Chichen Itzá and Calakmul, two of the most protected enclaves in the country. At certain moments of the video, Mrbeast himself is surprised by the visit. The youtuber assured in the video: “I cannot believe that the government allows us to do this.” During your visit to the interior of A camera in a Mayan pyramidthe guide took a Mayan funeral mask out of his ditch that delivered Mrbeast, who responded with eloquent “Why is this not in a museum? Why does a YouTuber hold this?” The controversy: the permits and nature of the recording. In a published statement In his X profileMrbeast, confirmed that the producer had all the necessary permits to record in the archaeological sites and that all measures had been met to protect the archaeological heritage. In addition, in A statement issued by the National Institute of Anthropology and History (INAH) it was confirmed that the visit and filming were carried out under supervision and with the corresponding authorizations. The INAH explained that the formal request for the recording was submitted by the Federal Tourism Secretariat and the governments of Yucatán and Campeche, and that Institute personnel accompanied the MRBASTI team throughout the recording to guarantee the protection of the heritage. In addition, INAH clarified that the mask shown in the video is a contemporary replica and not a pre -Hispanic piece. Controversial special effects. Despite the permits, the video generated discomfort between part of Mexican society and experts in historical heritage, especially for scenes in which Mrbeast seems to descend by helicopter on the pyramid of Chichén Itzá or fly a drone inside the temple located on the cusp of the structure. In that sense, INAH replied that these sequences are false and are part of the video edition and assembly, ensuring that such a descent was never made on the monument or a drone was introduced inside the pyramid. In the words of INAH: “It was clearly undergoing an extensive audiovisual postproduction and refers to events that did not occur.” The problem: the Maya do not advertise. Beyond denials and recording permits, the controversy by the video has climbed into intensity until it becomes a demand filed by the National Institute of Anthropology and History that had authorized the recording of the video. The demand has its origin in which, at a time of the video, Mrbeast and his team are shown in a camp tasting a dinner with Mayan food and dishes. At the end of dinner, Mrbeast presented one of his Feastable chocolate bars as “the only dessert approved by the Maya.” This act was interpreted as an undue commercial link between the private brand and the Mexican archaeological heritage. Touch the image to access the original message As published in Your X profile“The permit issued to the company Full Circle Media, representative of MR Beast, did not authorize the publication of false information or the use of the image of the archaeological sites for the advertising of commercial brands for private profit purposes.” The Institute stressed that the permission granted did not contemplate the commercial exploitation of the images or the promotion of private brands in these protected spaces. Argument that the content creator refuted saying: “They knew that we mentioned festable in the video, but out of respect for the sites, he filmed away from any national monument. The scene of the dinner where I made the feastable joke was not close to any Mayan temple.” She has reached the president’s ears. The impact of the Mrbeast video and the Maya has reached the political sphere and President Claudia Sheinbaum has requested an investigation About the facts. “You have to see exactly the content, but it is not that it has entered without the permission of the INAH,” said the president during Your press conference in the morning of the town. On the other hand, the governor of the state of Campeche, Layda Sansores, in which some of Mayan excavations who visited Mrbeast, He showed his full support to the creator of content and thanked his support for the Mayan culture and his contribution to improve living conditions of the population of Campeche. “We deeply move us to know that in Campeche you are not only leaving a mark on the communities that will now have water thanks to you, but you are also helping to promote archaeological exploration,” Sansores wrote.

The new generation of Toyota Rav4 is official. And arrives with important changes to Europe. Last year, in 2024, Toyota packed in Spain More than 12,000 units of this hybrid SUV And although it was behind other smaller, affordable and modern models, it added a very good figure if we take into account that this new generation was already underway. In fact, it sneaked into the 10 non -plug -for hybrids in our country, the most purchased technology at the moment. But to understand the dimension of TOYOTA RAV4 You have to open your eyes to the rest of the world. With a new generation already appearing through the door, the Toyota Rav4 put on the market More than one million enrollments. It was only overcome within the company by the Toyota Corolla. Now, this new generation comes with important novelties because it is decidedly bet on plug -in hybridization in Europe. Toyota Rav4 Technical Card TOYOTA RAV4 Body type. Five -seater SUV Measures and weight. Dimensions to be confirmed. TRUNK. To be confirmed Maximum power. 304 hp. WLTP consumption. Confirm consumption. 100 km autonomy for plug -in hybrid versions. Environmental Distinctive. Zero emissions Driving aids (ADAS). Mandatory by the European Union. Rear traffic approach, adaptive cruise control with lane change assistance, automated parking and mobile phone. OTHERS. Own software called Arene. Electric hybrid. Yeah. 183 CV version of front -wheel drive Total traction 191 CV version Plug -in hybrid. Yes. Both with 100 km of autonomy: Front traction 286 CV version Total traction 304 hp version electric No. price and launch Price and launch to be confirmed. A for the plug -in The plug -in hybrid promises to be, in Europe, one of the great short -term battles. With the extension that has been given to the manufacturers so that They pay accounts in 2027this technology is the bridge for reduce medium emissions of vehicle fleets. Technology is the natural step for many buyers who do not dare to make the leap directly to the electric car. To fight in a land where The Chinese car has a lot to sayToyota is committed to continuing to conquer for his reliability. Will put in the market two plug -in hybrid versions, both with 100 kilometers of electric autonomyand two other hybrid versions to complete the range. In aesthetic, Toyota renews the image of the SUV and although it maintains the forceful design lines of the past generation adapts the entire front to the new design language and also opts for rear optical groups that cover the entire width of the vehicle. Inside, there are no major changes in form but in the background. The design language remains relatively sober and very square. The physical buttons of the steering wheel are maintained with others under the central screen for the most elementary functions of air conditioning and volume. The infotainment system is distributed on a 12.3 -inch screen for the instrument box and a 12.9 -inch central. This is where it is the great change because it uses a own software called Arene (developed by the Woven subsidiary who works for mobility technology in Toyota). At the moment we know that it is the first launch of a new infotainment platform for the brand. It is “the first step towards vehicles fully defined by software”, in the words of the company. The work in voice commands and parking management stand out when maneuvering autonomously (which can now be done from outside the car using the mobile phone) or a three -dimensional view of the vehicle. This software will centralize all work for better efficiency. He will be in charge of managing a new safety equipment package that is improved in the launch of the new Toyota RAV4 but will also have an own browser with Google’s interest points and real -time traffic data or alerts due to the entrance in low emissions areas. They promise that Information will flow dynamically From the central screen to the instrument frame to reduce distractions. The menus have also been redesigned to make them more intuitive and has updates via Ota. As for security technology, the Toyota RAV4 arrives with everything required by the European Union but also some interesting details such as an approach indicator of another vehicle to the rear, a more advanced maintenance system with automated lane change. It has also worked on improving the systems prior to collision with better detection of obstacles, cyclists and pedestrians or in the second detention brake when the clash has already occurred. As for its mechanical characteristics, the Toyota Rav4 arrives with two hybrid motorizations and two other plug -in hybrids. The first two are formed by a set that adds 183 hp with front -wheel drive or 191 hp with total traction. The pluggers start from 286 hp (front) and 304 hp (total), both with a 23 kWh battery that promise 100 km of electrical autonomy according to WLTP cycle. The battery can be loaded by alternating current to a maximum of 11 kW and continuous current to a maximum of 50 kW so it can go from 10 to 80% of the capacity in 30 minutes. At the moment, Toyota has not revealed the exact dimensions of the model, the size of the trunk or the price it will have in Spain.

In Malaga, the megachiringuitos are taking over the city’s bathing areas

by

Chiringuitos are usually synonymous with relaxation, vacations and pleasant times to the heat of the sun, with a cane and a good skewer in front. In Malaga, however, they have begun to raise something different: a controversial sound that It has mobilized to the neighbors and unleashed a rifirrafe between administrations on the distribution of competences, legislation and urbanism. All with the everlasting debate about the privatization of the coasts As a backdrop. The reason is simple. There, in full Malagueta, residents They denounce that you want to expand several picnius to turn them into megachiringuitos. “The beach is going to run out of horizon,” They warn. Malagueta earrings. Last year the hotels of Malaga hosted 6.3 million of travelers. And it is not unreasonable to think that the vast majority (at least among those who came to tourism) went through La Malagueta, one of the most popular neighborhoods in Andalusia, famous for their beach, their restaurants, stores … and beach bar. In recent months, however, some of these food and drink stalls have unleashed Criticism from neighbors. The reason: your remodeling plans. The focus is centered on several beach bars between Antonio Martín restaurant and the military residence. As revealed Already in September the newspaper SOUTH, The Junta de Andalucía and the City of Malaga have processed an in -depth reform of three chiringuitos to gain height and volume. In one of the cases there was even the demolition of the original beach bar to change it. The complaints of the neighbors. The idea has not convinced the neighbors of the neighborhood, who have been on a war stand for months. The reason? They denounce that the locals will give a considerable stretch, going from being simple beach picnic to large chiringuitos, which will “eat” Arenal. “La Malagueta Beach is going to run out of horizon (…). Three beach bars will be built to renew those that already exist that triple the space of occupation on the beach and duplicate in volume,” lamented in December The president of the Association in the SER. “A very important volume is being built that leaves the stretch of the walk, and with the project of two more similar.” Will they change so much? In the case of the most advanced reform, that of the beach bar that will move slightly west of the beach, the change is evident. Being a modest picnary, with a small construction, bar and awning has become a broader structure With glass, wood and a dark roof with wavy shape. As needed SOUTHthe new construction reaches 4.1 meters high from the sand and measures 24 m long, following the promenade. According to The Andalusian newspaperwill occupy in total 286 square meters, including both the 216 m3 of the main block, with kitchen, bar, bathrooms and terrace covered and the 70 m2 of the open and removable terrace. Click on the image to go to Tweet. And the controversy arrived. The works in La Malagueta started months ago and have advanced under the watchful eye of SOS Malagueta, which regrets that they are building “True Armatetes” in “an already saturated area”. The neighborhood association He has collected signatures To protest the expansion of the pixtures of the Paseo Marítimo, they have taken advantage of topographs, architects and lawyers to study the case and have even claimed the stoppage of the works. “It cannot be expanded and these projects have triple space and double volume”, He insisted on autumn its president, Mari Ángeles Ramírez in statements to Malaga’s opinion. And since then? The situation has not broken down. At the end of April the Malagueta neighborhood platform critical In the municipal plenary, the “systematic privatization of the beach for the exclusive benefit of tourism and the hoteliers” and the issue has also been present in municipal policy: in February the municipal Vox group demanded explanations to the Councilor for Urban Planning for the construction of the beach bars, which, which, which, which, which, which, which, which, which, which He denounced“They have disproportionately occupied the beach.” From the Malaga town hall It insists In the legality of permits and it is remembered that concessions can reach the 300 m2. To complete the mess, it makes A few weeks It was ordered to withdraw an access for beach trucks related to the work. The background debate. Although the focus has been put in the Malagueta beach bars, the background debate actually goes beyond and connects with a key debate, such as I recently remembered Toni Morillas, with Malaga: the “privatization” of the beach. It’s not Something exclusive From the Andalusian city and the same theme has also generated discussion in other parts of Spain, but in the case of Malaga coincides with a second crucial debate: the Tourist. The City Council itself He has recognized in A report That the town supports “unprecedented tourist saturation levels”, and warns: “This phenomenon causes certain areas to exceed its load capacity, negatively affecting both residents and visitors”, which ultimately can lead to “expulsion” from local trade.

China is drowning rare earth supply and in six weeks there will be a victim: European electric cars

by

China has completely stopped The export of rare criticisms. In fact, during the last year and a half this Asian country has used its dominance over rare earths as A pressure tool on your rivals. On December 21, 2023, the administration led by Xi Jinping decided to restrict the export of some of its rare earth processing technologies, and this was only the tip of the iceberg. The last kick linked to these important metals was given by China to the US on April 4. Just 24 hours after Donald Trump announced the taxes that he was going to apply to the importation of most products from abroad, the administration led by Xi Jinping replied. And he did it with forcefulness. In early December 2024 He chose to prohibit The export of some critical minerals to the US, among which were three essential metals: gallium, Germanio and antimony. The European electric car can suffer if China continues with the hand brake This story does not end here. At the beginning of last April the Chinese government added two more critical metals to its list of export restrictions: Scandio and Disposio. These chemical elements are probably less known than metals prohibited by China previously, such as Gallium or Germanio, but are at least as important as the latter because they have a fundamental role in the industries of integrated circuits, telecommunications and the manufacture of storage devices. And just two weeks later, in mid -April, the administration led by Xi Jinping did not hesitate to take another step forward with the purpose of putting in check, in addition to the industries that I just mentioned, those of electric cars, aeronautics and advanced armament. And is that, according to The New York Times, has effectively suspendedin addition to the export of the most valuable rare earths, that of the elements involved in the manufacture of high -power magnets that have a critical role in the industries that I have cited in this same paragraph. Chinese authorities are taking the high -power magnets acquired by electric cars manufacturers throughout the country Chinese authorities are retaining in ports throughout the country not only rare earths, but also high -power magnets acquired by electric cars manufacturers throughout the planet, aerospace companies, chip factories and armament companies. Many of these organizations have high -power magnet reserves made with rare earths, but possibly only allow them to subsist a few months. For many years China has produced More than 90% of rare earths. Australia, Vietnam, Myanmar, Canada, Brazil, Tanzania or the US, among other countries, also produce these metals, but the largest deposits located so far of these elements reside in China. And, curiously, the country led by Xi Jinping too The processing industry dominates to which it is necessary to submit rare earth so that they can be used. So much so that its quota if we stick to the global processing industry amounts to 90%. China’s export controls are directed mainly to the US, but Europe is not unscathed. At least for the moment. In fact, in Germany, which as we all know is the heart of the European car industry, There are already experts who assure that if China continues to retain rare earths and electric motors some essential parts of the electric cars production chain They will stop in no more than six weeks. For the European car industry this blow would be very difficult to fit. However, while still having some reservations Europe has the opportunity to negotiate with China to avoid this very difficult situation. Everything is not lost yet.

It is a cold war relic

by

In the month of March, the United States announced a strategic turn for Boeing’s military arm to Boomo and saucer: they gave him the device contract that must replace Washington in the highest drawer of military technologies. It was called F-47aspiring to replace the F-22 and overcome its scope. In other words: since then, if someone wanted to face the United States should have the new hunt among their thoughts. China does not have it so clear. What infuses them “fear” is more than 70 years old. Technological hierarchy. The result comes through an analysis prepared by researchers from the Early Alert Academy of the Air Force of the Popular Liberation Army (EPL) in Wuhan, where they have identified the strategic bomber B-52 Stratofortress (A relic of The cold war With more than 70 years of service) as the nuclear attack platform most threatening in the United Stateseven surpassing modern poachers like The F-35a and invisible bombers such as B-2 Spirit. The study, published in the magazine Modern Defense Technologywas based on simulations of a penetrating air operation against naval or land objectives in China, within the conceptual framework of an American air counterattack campaign (PCA). Against all forecast, the analysis concluded that the B-52H represents the greatest danger in the phases of deployment, penetration and attack. The key? Your ability to carry four nuclear bombs Tactics B61-12 already its constant modernizations in radar and electronic war. Obsolete only in appearance. There are more, of course, since the study highlights that B61-12 bombswith a power equivalent to 300 tons of TNT, they are designed mainly for deterrence, but could be used to neutralize critical nodes and access denial systems (A2/AD) In case of conflict. Despite its longevity, the B-52H stands out in front of more modern platforms for its load capacity, its operational scope and the robustness of its updated systems. Consequently, Chinese researchers conclude that, in a limited nuclear attack scenario, this veteran bomber would offer the greater “strategic value” For Washington. Moreover. The report even refers to a motion from the US Congress to restore the nuclear capacity of about 30 units of the B-52H, which reinforces its tactical relevance in the current context. B61 bombs on a portabombas Deterrence from the air. The EPL team was not limited to identifying threats: proposed concrete response measures, such as strengthening surveillance, interception and air defense capabilities along strategic routes. In addition, he stressed the need for INtensify military intelligence To discern if air attacks are conventional or nuclear, given the dual nature of many American platforms. In front of poachers such as the F-35A or bombers such as B-2, the researchers recommended the intensive use of Electronic War and Cyber ​​attacks as tools to disturb your navigation and communications. A list of priority objectives was also established based on their relative threat, being the plane of Early alert E-3 Sentry considered key in conventional scenarios, while airplanes as the C-17 or the B-1b Strategic Bombarder They were classified as minor threats for their limited roles and outdated systems. Tactical precision. Finally, the work tells that he avoided predictive models Based on artificial intelligence. He did, as they explain, for the concerns about their opacity (“Black Box”), opting for methods based on games and human judgment assisted by objective data. The assessment of threats was developed from sensitive technical information on US and Chinese systems, although at this point the sources were not specified. For example, it is mentioned that furtive aircraft such as B-2 and F-22 have transverse radar sections of only 0.1 m², this means that, a priori, it would allow its detection by Chinese radars at 400 km. This technical precision is framed in the context of the rapid development Chinese of Hypersonic missiles Antiacereos, which could intercept white to more than 1,000 km away, and reflects a regional denial strategy that Beijing has expanded in sensitive areas Like Taiwan and the sea of South China. Nuclear and Taiwan. In fact, the report does not seem that it has been commissioned just becauseof course. In a recent essay, former Undersecretary of Defense of the United States, James Anderson, already He warned That any future crisis in Taiwan would probably imply nuclear threats (implicit or explicit) by China, despite its official “not first use.” Under that prism, and in this framework of growing tension and bilateral technological sophistication, the recognition of B-52 such as the more serious nuclear threat Not only redefines strategic perceptions about the military balance between great powers, but also underlines how, in the era of drones (Ukraine) and the Cybernetic wara colossus From the twentieth century it can continue, even today, the biggest carrier of the Apocalypse.

Virtually everyone has stopped using Windows XP. The problem is that ATMs do not

by

Most mortals have one of the latest versions of Windows, Macos, Android or iOS on our PCs, laptops or mobiles installed and it seems inconceivable to use obsolete operating systems. Well, we are using them directly to indirectly constantly, because there are various critical systems that continue using old Windows versions. Anchored in the past. In BBC They have recovered a striking debate: how we continue to depend on old operating systems for certain critical systems. The problem not only affects companies, but also to end users who are forced to use those old systems not for hobby, but by obligation. ATMs. One of the classic examples is that of ATMs, many of which are still based on obsolete operating systems. We know that in 2014 89% of ATMs in Europe They were based on Windows XPand there were some even using Windows NT. The latter was released in 1993, more than 30 years ago. Elvis Monteiro, expert in these systems, explained the cause: “The problem to update these machines lies in the high cost associated with hardware compatibility, the approval of regulators and the need to rewrite the software owner of the ATMs.” Security problems. The situation has undoubtedly improving and today the ATMs are usually governed by Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSCwhich has guaranteed security updates seven more years. However, there are a good number of Windows 7 Embedded systems and previous versions such as those mentioned, and that supposes great danger in the field of security: Vulnerabilities discovered in these obsolete systems may end up making them victims of sophisticated attacks. Windows 95 trains. Various control systems of Trains in Sweden work with Windows XP —That was launched in 2001 – but there are also some that depend totally on Windows 95. Inherited systems (“Legacy”) here represent another clear example of how the dependence of these systems makes it very difficult to update them to adapt to the new times. We usually complain about Renfe, but Deutsche Bahn, his analogue in Germany, published a job offer looking for a systems administrator With experience in Windows 3.11 and MS-DOS. There is nothing. And the same thing happens with some San Francisco trains: If a flop is not inserted every morningThey do not work. Japan You know a little about that too. Airports love the old Windows versions. The dependence of these ancient systems is actually seen everywhere and in all types of infrastructure. There are messages on social networks that show examples of the use of Windows XP on the screens of various airports and in the terminals of their Boarding doorsbut also somewhat more recent systems such as Windows 7. But there were even more spectacular cases: in 2015 it was discovered how the French Decor system for aerial drivers It was based on Windows 3.1. Public hospitals and organizations. The problem also affects critical public infrastructure such as The hospitals. A decade ago, I still used 8 -inch and computers floppos from 70s To manage your nuclear weapons. Spain is also affected. In Spain we saw how in 2014, when the official Windows XP, several public administrations ended They faced the problem What to do with your systems. The same or more serious is the fact that Internet Explorer has stopped receiving support and public administration continue depending on its operation In some procedures. And companies. Not only does it happen in these public systems, but also in private companies that are anchored by old Windows versions to continue using certain applications or peripherals. John Watts, who has a Professional printing pressIt depends on Windows 2000 to control two gigantic printers with Lightjet technology. We better not update. Psychiatrist Eric Zabriskie reached his consultation 15 always before because his computer took 15 minutes to start. That is another problem of many companies: they do not apply updates due to lack of resources or time, and that makes obsolete systems use, with all the risks that this entails. In the case of Zabriskie, he works in the Department of Veterans Affairs. This organism, indicate in BBC, makes use of a system called Computerized Patient Record System (CPRS) that is based on ms-dos. That happens to be so versatile. That this almost always happens with Windows – also occurs With Linux systems– It has easy explanation: Microsoft has always been the clear alternative in all types of public companies and organizations, especially for its ability to adapt to all types of hardware systems. A problem with a difficult solution. The problem is that the support for that hardware is not maintained indefinitely: each new version of Windows usually means saying goodbye to old standards, protocols or devices, and that makes those who depend on those hardware elements cannot be updated if they want to continue taking advantage of them. The cost of doing so is normally very high, and in doubt, the answer is clear: if you work, do not touch it.

Without absolutely no complex, Xiaomi has presented its Xring 01 chip. It promises to be a squeak for Apple and Qualcomm

by

Xiaomi Xring 01. This is the name that receives the first Xiaomi processor. One that, despite assuming an important milestone for China, has not been manufactured in the home country of the manufacturer. This beast is pure muscle, and behind it is the giant behind the Qualcomm and MediaTek chips: TSMC. The first devices with this chip are the new Xiaomi 15s Pro and the Xiaomi Tab 7 Ultra. We are going to tell you everything about this chip, and how are the devices that start this new stage for the company. This is how Xiaomi money earns – they attract you and catch you Xiaomi is seriously with its processor Has rained enough since Xiaomi implemented his C1 arises in the Xiaomi Mi 5C. It was an experiment to compete against the 600 range of Qualcomm, but it was in a simple anecdote, since the company did not launch its own chipset. Xring 01 is manufactured in the second generation TSCM nanometers process, which we find in processors such as the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite. But it is not like at all: it is a chip with a unique architecture of ten nuclei. The main cluster is composed of two X925 nuclei to 3.9 GHz. It is followed by a four -core cluster A725 to 3.4 GHz, next to another with two of these nuclei at 1.9 GHz. To finish the low consumption tasks, there are two last 520 to 1.8 GHz nuclei. The GPU comes is the Immortalis G925, presented at the end of 2024 by ARM. Summarizing: 2 x 3.9GHZ Cortex-X925 4 x 3.4GHZ Cortex-A725 2 x 1.9GHZ Cortex-A725 2 x 1.8GHZ Cortex-A520. GPU ARM IMMORTIALIS G925 According to Xiaomi, the performance of this chip is higher than that of the Apple A18 Pro, Not only in gross terms, but also in thermal efficiency (at least mounted in the Xiaomi 15s Pro), one of the keys for sustained performance can be high. According to the data they have given, its chip exceeds 3,000,000 points in the test. Slightly above what Qualcomm elite usually achieves. Xiaomi 15s Pro The new high range of Xiaomi lands with the Xring 01 chip, a design practically identical to that of the Xiaomi 15 Pro, and a triple camera configuration. Its battery, at least in China, will be 6,100MAH with fast charge of 90W and 50W wireless. The screen is 6.73 inches, with Quad HD resolution (2K), AMOLED technology and a peak shine of 3,200 nits. His cameras, with Lenses signed by Leicaare 50 megapixels for the main sensor, another 50 for the ultra wide angle and … Guess (yes, 50 megapixels) for teleobjective. The price of the device in China? From 675.07 euros for the version with 16 GB of RAM and 512 GB of internal storage. At the moment, there is no news about his possible arrival in Spain. Xiaomi Pad 7 Ultra Next to the Xiaomi 15S Pro, the company has presented the first tablet with its new star processor, Pad 7 Ultra. It is a dart that points directly to iPad Pro with M4 Chip Already the best Samsung tablets. It arrives with 14.2k panel of 14 inches, Amoled, and with a battery of no less than 12,000mAh that carries 120W. Equipa the same Xiaomi 15s Pro chip, Xiaomi Tab 7 Ultra 12/256 GB: 5,699 yuan, about 700 euros to change Xiaomi Tab 7 Ultra 12/512 GB: 5,999 yuan, about 735 euros to change. Xiaomi Tab 7 Ultra 16 GB/1 TB: 6,799 yuan, about 834 euros to change Xiaomi Watch S4 As a surprise and complement to his watch and his tablet, Xiaomi has also told us about the Xiaomi Watch S4 Xring, the first watch to equip THE NEW CHIP Xring T1 (not 01). It has its own 4G modem, and is designed to be used with ESIM cards. It is the first time that Xiaomi presents its own chip for smart watches, although it has not detailed its architecture as in the case of the smartphones processor. In development …
