It is easier to buy a souvenir than bread

by

If in 1994 you had a return through the center of Santiago de Compostela, you will most likely meet tourists, pilgrims (some with limp), students and university professors. More or less the same as today. What has changed is The backdrop. Three decades ago in the historic center there were hundreds of business -oriented businesses: shoe stores, clothing stores, kiosks, bakeries, overseas, bookstores … today the Tourist of the city has devoured them to reduce them to the third part. In fact there is already More stores For travelers than for compostelans. Hence your City Council has said “enough”. Santiago, more tourist. In 1999 the hotels, hostels and residences of Santiago de Compostela housed around 488,800 travelers. In 2023 they were more than 926,100. That tourist boom, encouraged by The popularity of the roadhe growth of his airport and his own impulse from Spain As an international destination, he has left his mark in the city. In their homes and especially in your trade, such as I recognized this week The Santiago City Council with figures on the table that show that business -oriented businesses have been giving ground to tourism centered. From 645 to 202 businesses. The figures are resounding. According to the official data that the City Council handles (and Public consultation), In 1990 in the historical area there were 645 stores oriented to residents, a wide label that are included from food, clothing and furniture stores to kiosks, drug stores, pharmacies, jewelry stores or hardware stores. Today are 202. The descent has been especially pronounced among the premises dedicated to food (They dropped from 125 to 35) or clothing and lingerie (121 passed to only 44). The “sorpasso” of tourism. The data is striking in itself, but there is another even more curious. The number of neighbors -oriented shops has descended so much in the last decades that there are more local tourism centered today. The City Council has accounted for 92 stores of memories and souvenirs, 72 specialized in crafts, jewelry and design and another 43 businesses of typical or delicatessen products. In total 207 businesses “with some tourist orientation”, half dozen more than those focused on neighbors. A analysis Of the spaces located in the low floors of the historic complex of Santiago, it also shows that 45% are dedicated to trade, 31% to leisure and restoration, 8% to lodging (the same percentage as to tertiary equipment) and 7% to offices. Curiously, between 1996 and 2025 the population of the historic city increased 26%although with sensitive falls in half a dozen streets located near or within the monumental area and pilgrim passages. The City Council moves file. With that data on the table, the City of Santiago has decided move token and put limits to the Tourist of your trade. On Wednesday his Urban Planning Council presented a change in the Special Plan for the Protection and Rehabilitation of the Historical City that basically seeks to “maintain and reinforce the residential use” of the old town and “promote the preservation” of the proximity trade. In summary: “Ensure the balance between uses oriented to residents and tourists oriented.” The normative change has already received the approval of the local government, but it still has been traveled to move into practice. Before you must undergo public exposure, receive the Consistory OK again and overcome the Plenary exam. If it achieves it, a process will culminate that the city began a year ago. And what planet exactly? “Put Coto” to Three types of businesses In the historic center of Santiago, all with a clear tourist approach: memories and souvenirs stores, typical products and automated establishments, such as vending stores, The slogans or laundries without dependents. Another of its most forceful measures is to veto the game stores, such as casinos, bingos or bets, in the monumental area. “In addition, the prohibition of opening new lodging establishments in any of its modalities,” Precise The City Council. Reflating trade. Although the above is the summary of thick stroke, The Santiago plan It is actually more complex and has more legs. For example, Lestegás He advanced That the City Council is looking for a way to recover a line of aid to rehabilitate and conserve historical, emblematic or special value, a commitment that has already been bet in the late 1990s. The plan drawn by the City Council also provides housing oriented measures. Santiago is not the only city that has seen how its neighborhoods, commerce and hospitality Tourist little by little. A few months ago It transcended A report of the City of Malaga in which it was alerted that the city “is experiencing unprecedented tourist saturation levels,” and warned: “The pressure can cause the expulsion of native business and added value, being replaced by souvenir stores and tourist -oriented shops.” Images | Juan Antonio Segal (Flickr) and Ánxela Pérez (Flickr) In Xataka | Spanish tourism faces the real risk of dying of success.

17 functions and some trick of the Google mobile operating system

by

We bring you a list with 16 android functions 16 That you will be able to try, including some tricks to make the most of them. This version of Android has already reached Pixel mobiles, so we can start exploring the functions it brings. In this article We are going to focus on the novelties and new functionsleaving a little aside those that were already in another system. Therefore, the intention is that if you have received this update or when you receive it, you can know what is new. Only a small warning before starting, and when Android 16 begins to arrive to other manufacturers it is possible to do it modified. Each manufacturer uses their own customization layer, so they can modify Android. With this, some functions may not be, and it is possible that others were already before. The main novelty is an absence The main surprise with which the first to receive this update in their pixel is that The main novelty of Android 16 has not been included. This new version has almost no new functions, and its main trick is the complete redesign of the appearance with Material 3 Expressivethat has not yet arrived and it seems that he will have to wait. Android live updates The first major novelty are the Android live updateswhich have arrived with the new version. These are special notifications that will show you in real time the status of the process of an app, such as how much is missing for the food you have requested through the Internet. The point is that This function is not available for all applicationsbut it must be the developers who adapt their apps to take advantage of. Notifications with live updates will appear in the notification panel, on the lock screen and on the screen always on. More notifications control Android 16 Forces the notifications that come from the same application. In this way, when you are in the notification panel, above the right You will see the number of notifications of each app In the event that there are more than one. You can click on this issue to expand and see all notifications better. And speaking of notifications, when you receive a lot of them from the same application in a short time of time, Android 16 automatically reduces the alert volume for a minute. Come on, instead of sounding a waterfall of notifications, they will be silenced a bit temporarily. Unified PHOTO SELECTOR for apps Android has added a function for Use a unified photo selector in apps. This means that, when you are going to load a photo in an app, instead of having each one a unified selector that opens your mobile photo gallery in a pop-up. The good news is that this will do everything more aesthetic and simple, and that access to the gallery is improved considerably. The bad news is that it is an API and It depends on developers Integrate this function into your applications. Language adjustment with more options Using the mobile in one country or in another is not always a matter of language, there are also other aspects to take into account. Therefore, on Android 16 in the options of Language and region You can change several regional preferences such as Temperature units, the measurement systemor the first day of the week. For example, in some countries the week begins on Sunday instead of Monday, and the temperature can be measured in Fahrenheit instead of Celsius, while the system of measures can be metric, American and British. You will be able to change all this. Tricks for the Viewer of apps in the background When you slide the finger down the screen on the screen, go to the visitor of execution applications. Here, When you click on an app icon A menu appears with several options, such as dividing the screen. In Android 16 The option to get a screen capture has been added to the app without entering it, directly from this viewfinder. It has also been included one option of Selectwhich serves to choose a concrete part of the screen of this app where to get the screenshot instead of removing it from the entire screen. You will even be able select the screen text of an app and copy it Without having to enter it, only with the preview that appears on this screen. Without a doubt something that at specific times can save you some time. Configure double touch When you press twice in the ignition button, the camera opens. However, in many Android 16 mobiles it allows you to choose between the camera or Google Wallet in the event that you have it configured. So, You will have two options for this gestureand you can choose the one that best suits you from the section of Gestures In the section System of the configuration. Protect your device Android 16 integrates the function of Advanced protection of Google, which allows you to block applications, malicious pages or harmful applications, in addition to non -safe connections and other threats. It is like together with several security options in asome already existing and others that do not. This is a fairly aggressive protection, but totally optional that you can activate or deactivate whenever you want. These protections also detect by the movement if your mobile has been stolen and blocks it automatically, in addition to protecting you against spam calls. Squeeze gesture navigation When you enter the screen of choosing a navigation mode for Android, you can decide between the classic three buttons at the bottom of the screen or gesture navigation. You also have A button to configure gesture navigationand determine aspects such as the sensitivity of gestures. In addition, on this Android 16 configuration screen has added a button Try one demowhich serves to test the navigation by gestures with the changes you have made. So you can learn to use it for the … Read more

create a shorter airspace

China with drones is an obsession that comes from afar. They have used them in Night showsthey have created giant QR codes in heaven To promote a video game, such as Vigilantes during pandemicso that Selectivity students do not copy or as allies to drought. Until Chinese mafia has found use. China really likes drones, it is clear. They have been making them non -stop and they want to continue finding new uses. Your last idea: create an economy that works in a air space below 1,000 meters altitude. Drones for everything. In addition to the uses that we have already mentioned, drones are used in China for many more things. In the industry, most are focused on the agriculture sector, where they are used to fumigate and fertilize large crops. They also use drones to fight natural disasters and security. In cities, especially in Shenzhen, you can see drones watching the streets, delivering food orders or even transporting blood between hospitals. According to the Civil Aviation Administration of ChinaAt the end of 2024 there were more than 2.2 million registered drones, there is nothing. Low altitude economy. The Chinese government has been promoting the drone industry through subsidies and incentives with the aim of continuing to lead the market. They count on Financial Times How are they promoting a new concept, what they call “low altitude economy“With drones as a growth engine. The idea is to exploit new commercials that operate in a lower airspace and fill the cities of drones as is happening with Shenzhen. In the near future, perhaps also of Taxis and flying cars. A lot of potential. Although until recently a concept was rather, the Chinese government is very serious with the creation of this new aerial economy. It is clear that they see potential in this new market, they even have the ‘Low-Altitude Economy Development Division’created at the end of 2024 with the aim of supervising the growth of the sector. They expect the sector to multiply their growth and reach 490,000 million dollars in 2035. A market where they are already leaders. According to data from Drone Industry Insights China manufactures 80% of commercial drones, with DJI being the most selling brand worldwide and reference in the sector. In addition, they also go to the development of new technologies and, of all patents related to drones that were recorded in 2024, A overwhelming 79% were from Chinese companies. However, outside China, this leadership has described as global security problem After Chinese drones, including DJI, were Used in the Ukraine War.

It did not depend on humanity

by

There is still the second half of the year, but at this point we can affirm (and without fear of being wrong) that 2025 is not being easy. Commercial wars. War in Ukraine. War in Gaza. War In Iran. For not leaving us, 2025 does not even leave us the comfort to relieve penalties with chocolates or good coffee, both subject to a inflationist spiral. With everything and no matter how bad face that has 2025, something is clear: it will hardly be worse than the 536 AD, the worst year in history. Never in attractive already a bloody history of humanity has been worse to be alive. And that is something that there is enough consensus. The worst year in history? There are titles for those who do not lack applicants. And the “worst year of history” is undoubtedly a clear example. If we look back, we find a few candidates of infamous memory: 1347, when the plague epidemic (“Death megra”) began to expand through Europe; 1914, the year in which the World War I; 1918, marked by the beginning of The flu pandemic or 1939, when the world went back to war. You don’t even have to go back so back in time. In March Of 2022, WHO declared that COVID-19 had become a pandemic that, throughout the following years, would lead to entire countries to the edge of paralysis and would charge millions of lives. According to the UN, only between January of that year and late 2021 died 14.9 million people for causes related to the virus. What has been the worst then? A few years ago the magazine Science He asked that question To the historian Michael McCormickHarvard’s professor, and his response was as forceful as it is necessary: ​​the worst year to be alive was the 536 of our era. Your answer is interesting for several reasons. The first, because beyond its academic prestige, McCormik is has dedicated to study In detail what happened that infamous year of the seventh century. Second, because is not the only one That believes it. “It was the beginning of one of the worst periods to be alive, if not the worst year,” McCormik insistsat the head of the university initiative for the science of the human past in Harvard (Sohp). The most curious thing is that unlike what happened in 1914 and 1939 (when both world wars exploded) or even during the pandemics of Spanish flu and Covid-19, largely propagated thanks to people, in what happened in 536 AD Humanity played a minor role. What happened that year? A natural catastrophe that affected sunlight and temperature of much of the world. As Remember em Sciencethat summer the average values ​​in Europe 2.5ºC descendedwhich marked the beginning of the most cold decade in a period of 2,300 years. It is said that China even saw how it snowed in summer. That sudden change resulted in ruined crops, famine and testimonies that even account for the astonishment of the contemporaries. “The sun seems to have lost its usual light and has a bluish tone. We are marveling not to see the shadows of our bodies at noon and feel that the powerful vigor of its heat has weakened,” I wrote In 538, Roman senator Casodoro. Even more mysterious was the historian Procopio, who that same year He spoke From “a fearsome omen”: “The Sun emitted its light without brightness, just like the moon, all year.” And what was the cause? That the second third of the sixth century DC was unusually cold is no novelty. The experts had been suspected for a long time, and not only for testimonies such as those of Casodoro or Procopio. In the 90s the Rings studies of trees (Dendrocronology) They already suggested to the experts an unusual drop in temperatures towards the 540s. The big question is … why? The study of the polar ice cores of Greenland and Antarctica threw a fundamental clue: the phenomenon could be related to massive volcanic eruptions. When a volcano erupts, it throws large amounts of sulfur and bismuth into the atmosphere, among other particles that act as a gigantic veil that reflects sunlight, which in turn derives in less time of clarity and a decrease in temperatures. In fact, remember in Sciencethe study of glaciers and tree growth rings suggests that a good part of the most “icy” summers recorded in recent centuries have been preceded by eruptions. But what happened in 536? Years ago, researchers concluded that what happened fifteen centuries may be related to a massive eruption registered between the end of 535 or early 536 in North America and which years later (540) followed another. The wind and meteorology were responsible for making the rest and extending the particles to Europe and Asia. Over time that explanation has been profiling and In 2018 A quip directed among others by McCormick already spoke of a cataclysmic eruption recorded in Iceland in early 536 to which, throughout the following decade, another two were followed, in 540 547. It is not the only theory. There are those who speak of the effect of the dust of the comets or an unknown underwater eruption, a conclusion to which a group of experts arrived Not long ago After studying the ice of Greenland. How serious was it? Yes. Let it clear Thousands patternhistorian of the University of Oxford, in An article Posted in The conversation: “Wherever it was, the eruption precipitated a ‘volcanic winter’ of a decade in which China suffered summer snows and the average temperatures in Europe fell 2.5ºC. The crops did not prosper. People went hungry. And they rose in arms against each other.” A year and a half marked by a mysterious fog that extended in Europe, the Middle East and part of Asia and whose impact soon was aggravated by other factors. In 541 the bubonic plague arrived at the port of Pelusio and marked the beginning of the Justinian plaguedevastating for … Read more

This is what I would choose after trying both

A week has passed since we publish the Nintendo Switch 2 analysis 2. These days I have received many questions as How far does your Nvidia chip gethow are the Mouse mode And my experience with ‘Mario Kart World‘. But if there is one that takes the palm, it is whether it is worth buying a nintendo switch 2 or better something type Steam Deck. The short answer is that there is no correct answer. A ball. Nintendo Switch 2 is being a success. At least, your official sales data And what do you walk exhausted in half the world They show it. The system Do not innovate at all Because even their great contribution, the joy-with that work as a mouse, had already been seen in the Lenovo Legion Go. The key is that Nintendo has focused on offering more than what worked for Switch to sell 152 million consoles -And counting-, and has enhanced it with a better hardware. The assumption. I speak of consoles sold because it is something that will directly imply that there are anyone who wants to launch their games in it. The more switch on the street, the more companies and developers will want to launch their games on it. It’s something we saw with the huge Indies explosion In the first switch and that, on PC, it is another of the great points in favor thanks to the fact that everyone has at least Steam. That said, and to answer the question we ask, I will try to answer someone who only has a console as PlayStation either Xbox… or a laptop so old that the new games come very large. For ordering things, this assumption that is between a Steam Deck or a switch 2 has these characteristics: It has a desktop console. It does not have an original switch. It does not have a PC to play. He wants that desktop and portable hybrid format. Switch 2 versatility is total Buy a Switch 2. I will start with the Nintendo console. My experience these weeks with her is being very positive because it is precisely what I was looking for. It is a more powerful switch and, as a user who came from the Switch 2017the jump on the screen is considerable. But if you arrive from new, and after two weeks with it, these are the points that I highlight the most of the console: Large screen and controls, but size and weight weight. Switch 2 is very portable and ideal to play in public transport or in bed. The hybrid format is very comfortable and is its great advantage: that the dock is included facilitates being playing in laptop and, suddenly, starting to play on TV. The HDR also works very well and expresses extra power to increase the resolution in this mode. Brutal catalog with a multitude of physical titles. We not only have practically the entire switch catalog (with improvements even if they do not have performance patch) in digital format, but also in physical for a better preservation of the video game. In addition, Nintendo games are wonderful and we have insured the ‘Zelda’, ‘Mario’, ‘Metroid’, ‘Donkey Kong’, ‘Kirby’ and what they get out of the hat. Pay for Nintendo switch online It is an annoyance, but we have the classic consoles such as NES, SNES, Game Boy, Game Cube or Nintendo 64 to which Nintendo is adding titles. Multiplayer without buying more controls. Thanks to the integrated joy-with, there are certain titles that we can play cooperatively with another player, emulating those sofa afternoons when we were kids. Or something Steam Deck. Here the thing is complicated for a very clear reason: there is too much to choose from. That if Lenovo Legion Go, that if Steam Deck, what if MSI Claw 8 AI+yes Asus Rog Ally… There are many proposals and, although the concept is the same, they offer important differences. For example, the Lenovo machine has separable controls and with a mouse mode and Steam Deck a very video game oriented system. What they compare are the following arguments: They are a PC, with all that this implies at the personalization and amplitude level of catalog, streaming game included. You can natively connect a keyboard and a mouse. This can also be done in some Switch 2 games, but on PC it works on all titles and there are a variety of non -existent strategy games in consoles. Total customization of the visual section to prioritize better graphics or better performance. Free online multiplayer. You don’t have to explain much more. Offers every few weeks in the different stores we have on PC. In the world of consolidated PCs there is much to choose from, depending on your characteristics and tastes They are not perfect. Not much less. I have focused on the positive points and the main reasons that would take me to buy one system or another, but it is impossible not to ignore the controversies and faster points. The battery is not wonderful in either of the two cases and, although it depends a lot on the type of game and what ‘Chupe’ of the SOC, for the most demanding it is not a good idea to get away from the plug. In addition, Switch 2 has physical games, but also digital that occupy a lot and we need microSD Express cards, more expensive than we used so far. Steam Deck and the like are compatible with conventional microSD, but forget about physical games. In a Consolidated PCthe dock or cable for the TV bought separately, but the numerous offers on platforms such as Steam, GOG or free Epic Games games compensate. Both. In the end, I consider that it is a fight that is meaningless because they are two devices that have similarities, but in the end they are two totally different things. One remains a console and the other systems, although they have console format, are … Read more

The first processor without a single silicon atom is ready. It is a prototype and still its benefits are a dream

by

Integrated circuits of 2 nm They will disembark in the market in style for 2025. Users know that nanometers have lost a good part of their usefulness, and that, in reality, They represent a category of semiconductors. In fact, they no longer faithfully reflect the length of logical doors or other physical parameter, such as the distance between transistors. However, the very quick development of the chips reminds us that every step we take place a little closer of the physical limit of silicon technologyalthough, in reality, this challenge is not new. The main manufacturers of integrated circuits and numerous research groups linked to some of the most important universities on the planet have been working on a solution to this challenge. Decades, even. There are currently several open research lines, and possibly the solution will require betting on one of them, but it is even more likely that the way to follow invites us to allow several of the proposals to be working on. The first 2D computer in the world is here A team of researchers from the University of Pennsylvania (USA) has published in Nature An interesting article in which he explains the procedure that has followed to manufacture the first functional CMOS processor using two -dimensional materials (2D) of a single thick atom. The really revolutionary thing is that they have used molybdenum disulfide and tungsten dyslelenex with the purpose of producing more than 2,000 transistors capable of executing logical operations. They have not used a single silicon atom. “We have first demonstrated a CMOS processor built completely with 2D materials” However, it is also important that we do not overlook that the materials they have used, which, as I have mentioned, have only one thick atom, maintain their properties at that scaleunlike silicon. The leader of this project, Professor Saptarshi Das, has pointed out that “silicon has promoted notable advances in electronics for decades by allowing continuous miniaturization of field effect transistors (FET or Field-Effect Transistors) “. “However, as silicon devices miniaturize their performance begins to degrade. 2D materials, however, maintain exceptional electronic properties at the atomic level, placing a promising path before us,” Explain das. “We have demonstrated for the first time a CMOS processor built completely with 2D materials combining molybdenum disulfide transistors and tungsten tungsten dysleeniuro cultivated in large areas.” All this sounds very good, but there is no doubt that for users the most relevant is to know what impact this technology will have in our experience if it becomes popular. “Our 2D CMOS processor operates with low power voltages, Minimum energy consumption and can execute simple logical operations at frequencies up to 25 kHz “, He has specified Ghoshone of those responsible for the project. This is the heart of the matter. We are only at the dawn of the technology known beyond silicon, but presumably the chips with molybdenum disulfide transistors and tungsten dislendiuro will allow the manufacture of much faster and more compact computers than the current ones, as well as perceptibly more efficient from an energy point of view.

China is flooding from devices without a trace of Android. Huawei is the main responsible

by

Huawei’s ability to respond to the numerous restrictions imposed by the United States government is being the best example. The company is in the process of continuing to it to go beyond the Kirin 9020marking rhythm of launches with The Pure 80 Ultra and its Advanced Chamber Systemand achieving what no other manufacturer had achieved to date: create a real alternative to Android. Huawei is working for the plan. Harmonyos It is a strategic turn towards the technological self -sufficiency that China has been chasing for decades. An own operating system, with national code and without a trace of Android, the platform that Huawei used in the initial phases of the system. At the end of 2024, Huawei’s Annual Results Report He presumed that more than one billion devices had Harmonyos. In this first half of 2025, we have some more specific data. At all rag. According to Canals, Huawei has sent a total 103 million smartphones with Harmonyos and 21 million tablets from 2021 at the end of 2024. Of those 103 million, almost half (46 million) were sent last year, showing how the last two years are being key to the growth of the company. The data, without context, are only data. To understand at what point Huawei is located to know that, in 2021, the estimates of sale of smartphones gave Huawei 10 million. The figure is important and shows an upward trend: Huawei has gone from the free fall that suffered between 2021 and 2022 to a sustained recovery process in the last two years. In 2022 the figure doubled to almost 20, to end up arriving at 2025 at 46 million. More prohibitions, more shipments. The United States Plan to isolate Huawei in the world has a double edge. The company has collapsed in Europe and left its position to its sister honorbut the efforts to grow nationwide are clearer than ever. Huawei is triumphing in China, and the consultants point out that it will be one of the mobile companies that will grow the most global in 2025 (growth marked by the path they are following in China). A plan that will accelerate with the license restrictions that affect its PCs. Huawei can no longer sell Windows computers: the first solution is Patch existing ones with Linuxthe second, Sell ​​your own computers with Harmonyos. The dream, getting closer. Huawei has made restrictions the greatest opportunity for growth in its history. An approach towards A device with 100% national components, A universal software ecosystem (mobile, tablet, pc, car, wearables) and, most importantly, The only possible and alternative rival to Android out of Apple and his proposal with iOS. Huawei is drawing an alternative scenario in which every Chinese manufacturer who wants to disconnect from the United States can have Harmonyos alternative. It is something that begins to be seen in industries such as that of automotive: manufacturers like Toyota are so far back in software that The only possible solution is to bet on alternatives such as Huawei or Xiaomi. For the moment, Xiaomi, Vivo, Oppo and even honor continue to see in Europe one of its main sales pillars. But China prepares to lead the technological worldand Harmonyos will play a fundamental role in their conquest. Image | Xataka In Xataka | Harmonyos shoots in China and already surpasses iOS.

I have tried day, the browser that replaces ARC and bets everything to AI. It hasn’t come out as expected

by

This story begins almost three years ago, in July 2022. That day I discovered ARC When it was little more than a beautiful idea with exclusive invitations. I tried it, it didn’t convince me. It was too different, too pretentious perhaps. I safari again without looking back. A year later, second chance. Same conclusion. Arc was still looking like that application that I wanted to teach me to navigate when I already knew how to do it perfectly. But The summer of 2024 was different. ARC not only convinced me, fascinated me. It became more than a browser. It was my productivity tool. Vertical eyelashes. The divided eyelashes. The spaces. The versatile elegance of your interface. The way I organized my digital day. ARC did not sail web pages. I built my workflow. The record date appears in the ARC adjustments. Almost three years since the first test. Image: Xataka. And then December arrived. Six months ago. Josh Miller uploaded a video to YouTube. “We are building something new,” he said. His name was day And it was the future of navigation. Arc, of course, would continue to exist, but with “minimum maintenance.” The typical business phrase that means gradual abandonment without saying it explicitly. The Arc community It exploded. Justly. They had built something beautiful, had achieved a passionate user base, and decided to start from scratch. To pursue the chimera of AI. A week ago I managed to try it. It is not yet in its final version, but I wanted to prove its foundations. My expectations were low, but not my curiosity. You open day and see Chrome. Chrome Bonito, Chrome Pulido, Chrome with better animations, but Chrome after all. EITHER ChromiumOh. The traditional horizontal interface. The address bar above. The eyelashes where they have always been. No trace of divided eyelashes. This is day. Tabs, address bar, etc., where they were always before ARC. The differential proposals of ARC, absent. Image: Xataka. Everything that Arc had revolutionized, back to conventional design. The difference is in the right sidebar. An integrated chatbot. A conversation interface that can see what you are seeing, that you can read your eyelashes, which supposedly understands your context. Is chatgpt, but with access to your browser. The idea is seductive. Imagine being able to ask your browser what that complex graphic that you are seeing, or ask you to summarize the five articles you have open, or help you write an answer based on all the information you have been reading. The perfect context for perfect assistance. What we have seen in other browsers, but from the roots, not as later patch. Image: Xataka. Reality is more mundane. I asked Dia Dia about the content of the in front of the tab. He made me a suggestion that made no sense. I spent a screenshot to refine your context. He gave me a meaningless advice. I tried to summarize articles that, praxis – had text integrated into images. He couldn’t read them. He invented answers that were feasible, but not true. And did what any Llm He does when he doesn’t know something: pretend he knows and build a very convincing lie. Dia chatbot uses an OpenAi API after all. It is the problem of these tools: when they do not know, They don’t say “I don’t know.” They improvise. When you are an expert in the field, the fighter on the fly. When not, they can strain it to you. AND Then there is the worst: what is missing. There are no vertical eyelashes, no spaces to organize projects, or almost nothing that made Arc great. I wish they include it. But the first glance is a jug of cold water. Day is what Arc was never: conventional. Business logic is understandable: ARC was too sophisticated for the average user. He had a pronounced learning curve. His best functions were used by a minority within another minority. The mass market continues to use Chrome because it is simple, familiar, predictable. Convenient. Día tries to be a browser that anyone can use from day one, but with integrated. The plan must be to capture users who would never have bothered to learn arcbut they would use an improved chrome with the native. The problem is that it already exists. Or it will exist soon. Is called Chrome and is integrating Gemini. Is called Edge and has co -driver. Is called Operates and integrates ia tools own and others. Day is late for a party already started and without a proposal as differentiating as Arc. Day responding well a consultation.

In the Holy Trinidad Crossfitera, a supplement makes its way to elbows next to creatine and protein: Ashwagandha

by

Get an increase in muscle mass is complicated and, contrary to what we can think, much of the “training” is not done in the gym: we do it In CamOh In the kitchen. A good diet that Cover our needs When training is vital, and when the food does not arrive, supplements come into play. And inside the gym, especially in Activities such as CrossFitthe holy grail of supplementation is the one composed of proteins, creatine and an unpronounceable compound. The Ashwagandha. Cocktail. If there are two supplements studied and backed by scientific evidence, those are the Powder proteins and creatine. Proteins are one of the three basic macronutrients and, although, Sometimeswe can consume more proteins than we need, it is also being observed a lack of them in certain people for disease or diet reasons. To create muscleproteins are essential and we look for it in milkshakes and Even in coffee. Supplementation with milk whey or plant compounds such as soy or peas It favors muscle gain and muscle repair. On the other hand, creatine is a supplement that focuses on increasing muscle phosphocreatine deposits, allowing faster regeneration of the energy molecule that is used in intense and short -term activities, such as weightlifting. Evidence. The taking of both supplements in athletes is recommended, almost essential in cases such as those of people with vegan diets (Because there are proteins of plant originbut creatine is found in meats and fish), but still, and As with caffeine, they are surrounded by myths. There are those who think they are like Anabolizing steroidsthat damage the kidneys, which causes the hair to fall and that, if we train, take them and gain muscle mass, we have made “trap”. The truth is that the two supplements, especially creatine, are widely Backed for scientific evidence. Over the years they have been put under the magnifying glass in numerous investigations, without find Myths They have penetrated many people. In fact, thanks to these investigations, every time They discover more creatine benefits, such as its Neuroprotective effects on the brain. Ashwagandha. Within the sports scene, there are not so many doubts about the effectiveness of these supplements (provided we carry a Good dieta proper rest and a Correct trainingof course), but in recent years there is another name that is gaining weight, placing with creatine and protein shakes such as the ‘trinity’ of supplementation. We talk about Ashwagandha, another supplement that is gaining popularity in the world of fitness due to a very interesting potential: reduce general stress, improve physical performance and also recovery. Inter alia benefits how can it be Improvement in sex quality. But … what is this? SOMNIFERA WITHANIA. As protein and creatine, Ashwagandha does not come out of nowhere, and it really is something that has a long journey. It is an adaptogen, which is still a substance of plant origin that helps the body to balance. Its use comes from traditional medicine and is a plant known as SOMNIFERA WITHANIA That, as we say, it is gaining popularity outside that world of traditional medicine thanks to the studies that are supporting its benefits when training. Among its effects, it has observed which reduces cortisol, or stress hormone. This favors Recovery and has positive effects on sleep quality, so it affects that important moment in which muscle regeneration occurs. Has anti -inflammatory effects and have also studied Its effects on muscle strength and physical resistance, also observing improvements in cognitive function, male fertility and improvements in glucose control and blood pressure. Synergy. This interest in adaptogens responds to the search for more natural solutions for stress in a society in which it has become a first -order problembut it is also sneaking into the gym, with several important brands of sports supplementation offering their products. Currently, I know indicates That the benefits are consumed at intervals of six to eight weeks in doses of about 600 mg daily, but it is also indicated that long -term studies and more types of populations are required to confirm both benefits and to rule out adverse effects. In the end, Ashwagandha is not a supplement as studied as protein powders or creatine, but these incipient analyzes are positive, accumulating favorable evidence. And, precisely, among the three supplements we have a cocktail that works in protein synthesis, adaptation and muscle recovery. And, of course Influencers of the fitness world They are also creating content on the benefits of Ashwagandha, helps more people interested in use. At least, on this occasion, science seems to be supporting those recommendations, and something important is that (especially in the case of powdered protein), they are supplements, not substitutes and the essential thing is to carry a balanced diet.
