I hadn’t played a folding mobile for four years and I have flipped with Samsung’s new

by

Due to the circumstances of the work (and of life), since the end of the summer of 2021 did not have a folding mobile at my analysis table. It was then that I analyzed the Samsung Galaxy Z fold3 and the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip3two models that already seemed to me that they had improved a lot with respect to their predecessors. For a couple of days I am in New York on the occasion of the Galaxy Unpacked and confirmed it: I have flipped with the new Galaxy Fold7 and Flip7. So much, that They have changed my mind. This fold yes Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3 and Galaxy Z Fold7 Although with fold3 they had already refined the design, it still seems quite brick. When I folded it, The feeling was to have two mobiles in the handNot one. In fact, this was what least convinced me of this format. In the end we are not going to display the mobile every time we want to look at it and the folding thickness was very uncomfortable. In addition, the exterior screen was too elongated and the format was strange. For all this I liked the concept of flip much more: fold to transport it, but when we want to use it we open it and we have a normal mobile. When I saw the fold7 galaxy, I had to look twice to make sure, but the best came when folding it and checking that already It feels like a normal smartphonewithout strange format or impossible thickness. In fact, being folded, I could go through any galaxy s if we don’t look at the edge. Fold7 has a thickness of 8.9 millimeters when it is folded, only 0.7 millimeters more than the Ultra Galaxy S25. If we compare it with the latest model he had tried, the jump is brutal: fold3 had a thickness of 16 millimeters folded and weighed 271 grams. Has lost 7 millimeters and 56 gramswhich is said soon. The external screen that Flip deserved Samsung Galaxy Z Flip3 and the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip7 When I tried flip3, the format convinced me much more than that of fold; He had not been able to put a mobile in his pocket without stood out almost half. However, although it was very comfortable to transport it, I had a problem: With the closed mobile we could not do almost anything. That model had already expanded the screen of the first generations, but it was still a small window where we could see the notifications and little else. The jump with Flip7 is brutal, both in size and quality. The screen occupies the entire front and has been drilled to place the cameras, reaching 4.1 inches diagonally and a 1.048×948 resolution. In addition, the refreshment rate is 120Hz. For its part, the FLIP3 had a small 1.9 -inch screen with 260×512 resolution. The bad thing is that the functions are still limited, that is, we cannot use any app from here. The jump with Flip7 is brutal, both in size and quality. The screen occupies the entire front. The design has also improved and is thinner and light, but here the difference is not as abysmal as with fold. Deployed has a thickness of 6.5 millimeters and in Flip3 it was 6.9 millimeters, where it shows the most is when closing it, going from the 17 millimeters of the flip3 to only 13.7 millimeters. The secret is in the hinge that Finally, the screen folds totally without leaving a space. As I said, Flip was my favorite, but seeing the evolution of both models in these four years, I have changed my mind. My fold complaints have been solved, while Flip has not improved so much and has been a little stagnant. If I had to choose a folding today, it would be the fold without a doubt. The competition has spurred Samsung It would not be fair to compare Samsung only with herself and with the advantage that four years of evolution give her. Although they were pioneers, other brands entered the folding market later and managed to improve those negative aspects of those that Samsung has cost to part. An example is the outer screen of the flip, which finally occupies the entire front but it is something we already saw a year ago in the Motorola Razr 50 Ultra. As for the thickness, if we only compare it with fold3, the difference is abysmal, but the reality is that there have been marks that have advanced to Samsung. Honor surprised us more than a year ago with the Magic V2 Honor and its 9.9 millimeters thick (folding). We also have the OPPO N5 announcerohace just a few days, honor announced the Honor Magic V5 that goes down to 8.8 millimeters and The possibility of advertising as a finer folding in the world has stolen to Fold7. Instead, it is “the thinnest fold to date.” Something is something. The bad of renewing every year The surprise effect on the releases of new mobiles has long abandoned us. More and more continuous mobiles that barely change Regarding the previous generation already often We wonder if it makes sense to maintain this frequency of launches. It makes sense from the point of view of business strategy, but what we are looking for is that there are substantial changes, it does not have it. What happened to me after these four years away from folding is the perfect example. He spoke with colleagues that have followed all the presentations of Samsung’s folding and It didn’t seem so innovative. The thinness of fold7 was the most commented, but little else. In the end it will turn out that the secret for us to freak out with the new mobiles is to spend a few years “in a coma.” Images | Amparo Babyloni, Xataka In Xataka | 10 years ago, Samsung was the ugly duckling of Android software.

This is how Perplexity’s browser bets on the ‘fluidity of thought’

by

We open dozens of eyelashes when we need to compare a price, read the news, send an email and consult the time you are going to do this week. Browsers are useful, yes, but not always friendly. You have to look for, read, copy, hit, go back, cross data, remember where we came from. Often, when we managed to do what we wanted, we no longer know how we got there. Perplexity wants to change all that. Your new browser, Comet, He has just left the incubator With a different proposal: less clicks, less eyelashes and more thought aloud. A different proposal. At first glance, Comet does not impose. It looks like any modern browser: an upper bar with tabs, navigation buttons, fast access to open a new page and a clean design. On the left side, yes, a fixed panel appears where his assistant of AI lives. Can remember to COPILOTbut what promises is something else. Comet In one of the examples shown by Perplexity herself, the user has a map of London. He asks the assistant, in natural language, to generate a walking route to visit the five main tourist places. Comet interprets the order, select the initial location – the Torre de London – and begins to build the point by point by point, directly on the map. Chrome That, that until now we did with clicks and more clicks, the browser executes it as if he knew what he has to do. And it is not limited to maps. He is also able to summarize a Reddit love, find a specific video or cross information between open tabs. All without the need to change window or install accessories. Wants to “think” like us. What Perplexity proposes with Comet goes beyond conversational search. Its commitment is to convert navigation into a kind of continuous mental flow, where tasks are chained by natural language orders. If we want me to summarize a text, it does. If we need to compare a product with similar ones, too. If we ask you to find something we read days ago, remember it. Everything happens without leaving the browser. It is as if each tab knew what we need and commissioned on their own. In one of the shared examples, you are asked to buy a forgotten product or write an email from the information present on the screen. Less noise, better decisions. Perplexity insists that Comet’s base is not only artificial intelligence, but precision. It presents it as a browser designed to answer well, not just fast. That is not limited to generating text, but provides reliable, verifiable, useful information. Because, According to the companymany of the decisions we make – especially what to read, what to buy, in what to invest or how to interpret a technology – depend on the quality of the answers we receive. Curiosity as an engine. Perplexity not only seeks to commit questions, but understand how we ask them. What interests us, how we think, at what moments we usually deviate. The idea is that the browser learn from our cognitive style to offer a more refined experience. Comet It works like this: we can highlight any text fragment and ask for an explanation on the march. It is also possible to explore related concepts without abandoning what we were reading. Ask for counterarguments, cross references, nuances. The problem, of course, is that every tool that adapts to us needs to know us very well. And that opens another conversation: that of privacy, tracking and limits of a browser that intends to think with us. Comet is already underway. Comet is now availablealthough not for everyone. Access has begun limitedly for subscribers of Perplexity Max (200 dollars a month), and will be expanded by invitation throughout the summer. Is it a threat to Chrome? What will happen when Google Integre ia browser? We will know it over time. Images | Perplexity In Xataka | Tim Cook’s right hand retires after 27 years in Apple.

is in an auction house

by

The largest fragment of Mars found on Earth is not exposed in the room of a Natural History Museum, but in an auction house waiting to sell to the highest bidder. NWA 16788. The Marcian meteor of 24.67 kilograms, the largest and most recent of those found on Earth, will go to auction in New York on July 16, with an exit price of 1.6 million dollars. The Sotheby’s auction house Wait for a value of 4 million dollars. Not only for its extraordinary size, but also because of its rarity. Of the more than 77,000 officially documented meteorites, only about 400 comes from Mars. The largest piece on Mars. NWA 16788 was discovered on November 16, 2023, when a meteor hunter found the rock in the desert region of Agadez, in Niger. It was an unusual finding. 70% larger than previous record holder of the largest Martian meteorite, represents 6.5% of the entire Mars mass known on our planet. In addition to confirming its origin, the scientists who analyzed him concluded that he was expelled from the surface of Mars for the impact of a large asteroid. The test is in its composition: 21.2% is Maskelynita, a type of glass that is formed when the Martian rock feldspar is transformed by the intense heat and the pressure of a great impact. Little used, just 225 million kilometers. After being thrown into space, this piece of Mars traveled about 225 million kilometers before being caught by the severity of the earth and precipitating through the atmosphere. He barely eroded during his stay on our planet, indicating that he is a newcomer to the Sahara desert. Of reddish colors, the Shanghai Astronomy Museum classified it as a “Shergottita de Olivino-Microgabro”a rock formed by the slow cooling of Martian magma and composed mainly of pyroxen, Maskelynite and Olivino. It is such an unique copy that its study has questioned the classification system of Martian meteorites. The usual debate. The sale of this unique specimen has unleashed the controversy. Scientists regret that a piece of so much value for science and dissemination can end in a private collection. “It would be a pity to disappear in the vault of an oligarch,” summarizes the paleontologist Steve Brusattefrom the University of Edinburgh. “It belongs to a museum, where it can be studied and enjoyed by children, families and the general public.” Although it ends in private hands, a fragment of the meteorite is preserved in China. This sample probably contains all the information that contains the whole rock, so if the scientific interest prevails, science can still be done with part of it.

A rapper wanted to build a futuristic city of 6,000 million dollars in Senegal: a wakanda inspired

by

The American rapper Alioune Badara Thiam, better known as AKON, announced in 2020 his goal of building a Megation of 6,000 million dollars In Senegal. This city would be inspired by wakanda, The Central African country invented by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby to locate the kingdom of the Superhero Black Panther. The proposal promised to change the urban and economic landscape of the African country, serving as a magnet To attract investments and tourism to Senegal. In the same way that happened to them To other pharaonic projectsAkon’s “Wakanda” went from estimating its investment of 6,000 million to a sixth part and, finally, summarizing just a couple of buildings in a remote rural population southeast of the capital of Senegal. Akon City: Wakanda in real life Akon was A success rapper During the early 2000s. Although he spent most of his life in the United States, his origin is Senegalés. That is why it is not strange that he dreamed with taking Senegal the project of his life. The artist dreamed of building a futuristic megaciudad inspired by the wakanda I had seen in Marvel’s comics and movies. To anyone’s surprise, the rapper baptized the project as Akon City. Although the idea could have remained as An artistic eccentricitythe close ties that joined Senegal made the then Minister of Tourism of Senegal, Alioune Sarr, give institutional support to the project, such and As reported The avant -garde In 2020. “For all those who come from America, Europe or anywhere wanting to visit Africa, we want Senegal to be his first stop,” said the rapper in the presentation of the project. Akon City The rapper said “I want buildings to seem authentic African sculptures that make in the villages”, collected he Washington Post. That spirit was collected in the architecture that the artist imagined in the form of great skyscrapers in sinuous ways. As can be seen on the project website, the city was going to be divided into different thematic areas: educational, health, technological, entertainment, etc., etc., equipped with hospitals, football stadiums, filming studies or research laboratories and universities. And how is that paid? Financing, in addition to state investments and private investment, was going to be supported by a cryptocurrency that the rapper wanted to link to the development of the city: the Akoin. The Senegalese government fulfilled its part and contributed 800 coastal hectares without building to develop the new urban project. The chosen location was Mbodiène, an agricultural village about 100 kilometers southeast of Dakar. Akon City entertainment district However, like It has already happened With projects that start from Much more solvent pockets That Akon’s, Like NeomThe rapper soon realized that 6,000 million was a lot of money. Therefore, in 2024 investment expectations They were reduced from 6,000 million dollars to a much more modest plan, valued at 1,000 million dollars. For its part, Akoin began its price on the Bitget exchange platform at $ 0.15 on November 19, 2020. For December 11, its last available price had already fallen to $ 0.003 confirming the little support that the project had received and hurting it. Such and as he collected Bloomberg, At present, there are still no roads, homes or electricity grid on those land. The only constructions that the rapper has financed are a youth center, a basketball court in the nearby population of Mbodiène and a building reception still half building. Nor is there a trace of futuristic buildings They imagined for Akon City. The end of Akon City and the future of the land The outcome of the project came from the hand of Serigne Mamadou Mboup, director of Sapco, the Senegal Tourism Development Agency that in statements to the BBChe said: “The Akon City project no longer exists, fortunately, an agreement has been reached between Sapco and the businessman Alioune Badara Thiam. What is preparing with us is a realistic project, which Sapco will fully support” The artist himself acknowledged that the project was great and admitted that “it was not properly managing; I assume all responsibility.” Senegal has recovered 90% of the land that had yielded for the development of the city and plans to continue collaborating with the artist to build sports and civil equipment for 2026 Youth Olympic Games that are celebrated in Dakar. However, Senegal Wakanda will have to wait save in a drawer. Yibambe!

If interpreting a magnetic resonance it seems difficult it is because it is. That is why we are developing help: an AI

by

The expectations are high: Artificial Intelligence (AI) has been promising for some time to be the next great revolution in medicine. Even aware of this revolution, the tools based on this concept are gaining step step by step in the area of ​​medical sciences. One of the most recent steps has been given by a team of researchers in Malaga. Improve images. The step in question has to do with the techniques used to take medical images. The new tool Improve automatic segmentation Of medical images, which in turn allows us to reduce errors in the analysis of complex images, says the team itself. Segmentation. But what exactly is that automatic medical image segmentation? According to Explain the team itselfmedical segmentation consists in “delimiting anatomical structures or lesions in medical images.” Thus it is possible not only to diagnose certain diseases more effectively, but also to more easily locate injuries and improve precision in certain treatments. However, this task is not always easy due to the limitations of the techniques used to take these images, such as magnetic resonances and tomographs. “The precision in the segmentation of medical images is essential to improve diagnoses and treatments,” detailed in a press release Ezequiel López Rubio, who led the study. Our approach demonstrates that it is possible to optimize the reliability of AI models by applying trial time increase techniques, which opens new possibilities in the field of computational medical image. ” In Xataka The Chinese company Alibaba has an AI to detect pancreatic cancer. It is so good that the US has accelerated its approval Medsam. For the development of the tool, the team started from a New Model of AI called Medsam, a model that combined with the TTA technique (Test-Time Augmentation). This combination allows, the team itself points out, introduce small transformations in the images at the time of being analyzed. Thus it is possible to achieve a “more robust system against variations”, with better precision in segmented contours. Promising results. With Regarding the resultsThe team stressed that the new tool “significantly improves precision” if we compare it with traditional segmentation methods, achieving greater reliability. This greater reliability would be key in images with noise or with little quality, something that, stand out, is common in clinical practice. Another relevant point for those who have formulated this new tool is flexibility of the methodology and its ability to adapt to different image taking technologies. The details of the study were published In an article In the magazine Mathematics. {“videoid”: “x8px49v”, “autoplay”: fals, “title”: “Antibiotics are no longer effective and the problem is superbacteria”, “Tag”: “Webedia-prod”, “Duration”: “327”} The new border. Artificial intelligence continues to see rapid expansion. An expansion that It covers medical disciplines. A good example of this are the diagnostic tools, whose precision would have managed to overcome the “clinical eye” of health personnel, according to They hold their developers. We still cannot trust our health at AI, but of course the potential of these tools when assisting health professionals and patients themselves grows day by day. These tools are a promising future, but at least for now they are just that.

Fruit fear fattening. Reality is more complicated

by

We are in full summer and the heat is not giving us truce, despite the Dana that is touring the Mediterranean. Above, at night, the high temperatures is not that Dén a lot of truceso turning on the fire to cook becomes somewhat difficult. And in Spain, where we had dinner later than anyone in Europethe idea of ​​a heavy dinner at 22:00 can be almost offensive to the stomach. Therefore, there are people who are opting for the easy: Fruit dinner, but is it really a good idea? A tempting combination. Between the heat and the effervescent idea of ​​the “bikini operation” – which charges strength with the arrival of fashions on social networks, Like the obsession with flat belly– Some people see in the fruit a kind of dietary lifeguard. Refreshing, quick to prepare and with a light reputation, it seems the ideal option for dinner without adding calories. In fact, publications like Vogue They have pointed out that this practice has become popular as a detox strategy or to lose weight, while Men’s Health He has pointed out that those who seek to control their caloric intake usually resort to fruit at night. But, like almost everything in nutrition, things are not as simple as they seem. An easy solution. The fruit is healthy, nobody doubts. It is a food that provides vitamins, water, fiber and antioxidant compounds. Eating only fruit for dinner is not a dangerous practice by itself, but it is not a magical solution either. In a report for Telvaseveral nutritionists have warned that many fruits have a high glycemic index (such as very mature banana, grapes or chaqui). This means that they can raise blood sugar quickly, something that is not convenient if you are going to sleep later without moving a muscle. In addition, the point is that fruit has no healthy proteins or fats, which generates less satiety and can cause hunger the next day. This situation can cause a cycle of excess for food anxiety, such as have pointed out in Vogue. And what can be done with this heat? Nutritionist Jerlyn Jones has pointed out in Heathline that the fruit is Perfectly compatible with a healthy dinner, provided that it is not the only thing on the plate. Combine it with proteins (such as natural yogurt, cooked egg or white fish) and healthy fats (avocado, nuts, olive oil …) helps stabilize blood sugar levels and feel more satiated. For his part, dietitian Rocío Práxedes has insisted on an interview for Infosalud that the fruit does not fat at night: the relevant is not the time, but the daily caloric total and the balance of the diet. However, remember that excessive consumption of fruit can displace other essential nutrients, especially if dinner becomes regularly into a bowl of melon and little else. If you are determined by the fruit … Some fruits are more suitable than others for dinner. The low glycemic index – as apple, pear, kiwi or red fruits – are good allies. On the other hand, others such as mango, mature pineapple or watermelon raise glycemia faster, something that does not interest just before sleeping. As have pointed out in the voice of Galiciayou have to be careful with the juices and the dehydrated fruit. Although they seem healthy, when fiber is eliminated, its effect on blood sugar is faster and less satiating. Most recommended. It may sound to Cliché, but the key is in variety and balance. A healthy dinner in summer can be light, yes, but it must be complete. A yogurt with fruits and nuts, a salad with fresh cheese and fruits of the forest, or a cold cream of vegetables with a hard egg and a piece of fruit at the end can be simple, fresh and very healthy options, According to Vogue. Not everything is the fault of the fruit. The fact of late dinner and in large quantities can alter rest and favor Fat storage, since the body does not spend energy while we sleep. The general recommendation of experts: dinner at least three hours before going to sleep, and that dinner does not exceed 20% of the daily caloric daily. And while dinnering fruit may seem like a way to compensate, it is not worth any fruit or any amount. In Men’s HealthNutritionist Tiziana Stallone has pointed out that, in cases of diabetes, insulin resistance or digestive problems such as dysbiosis or Sibo, it is convenient to limit high glucemic index fruits, such as watermelon or grapes, especially at night. Neither myth, nor miracle. No, the fruit does not get fat at night. But it is not an infallible plan to lose weight. Eating well is somewhat more complex than opening the fridge and chopping watermelon with the light of the refrigerator. The fruit is an ally, but not the only one. And taking care of yourself does not suppress food, but to learn to combine them. So this summer, before skipping dinner or limiting it to a peach: it’s not about eating less, but eating better.

If Europe is beating solar energy records this summer, why has the price of light shot?

by

Summer is a paradox season for the energy sector. On the one hand, renewables are reaching historical figures. June marked the month of greater production of solar energy ever registered in the European Union: Friolera of 45 twh22% more than the previous year. On the other, many Europeans saw how their light of the light doubled or even tripled. The question is inevitable: if we swim in solar energy, why do we pay more for electricity? The demand is triggered. The heat waves that run Europe They have put the thermometers around 40 ºC in numerous points in Spain, France and Germany. With air conditioning systems, working at maximum power, the electrical demand has shot. According to him Last Ember reportdaily demand grew by 14% in Spain, 9% in France and 6% in Germany during the month of June. A greater electrical demand, alone, already presses the prices of upward light. But the heat brought with it a second problem, this time on the offer side. Thermal plants are suffocated. The same heat that drives the demand for air conditioning puts traditional energy plants, especially nuclear. These facilities need huge amounts of river water to refrigerate their reactors. When the water temperature rises too much, its refrigeration capacity decreases, forcing to reduce production and, in extreme cases, to stop it completely. France It has been the most affected country. Its fleet of nuclear centrals, one of the pillars of the European interconnected network, is suffering capacity reductions in almost all its facilities. But it is not an exclusively nuclear problem. In Poland, the cooling of coal centrals is being a constant concern, and in Italy, the overheating of the network cables was the most likely cause of the blackout of July 1. At the time of maximum need, a crucial part of the generation of traditional energy is not available. Missing storage for the solar. The saving of this crisis is photovoltaic solar energy. In Germany, the Solar came to generate 50 GW peaks, covering between 33% and 39% of the entire electricity of the country. With a marginal cost close to zero, solar panels are doing exactly what is expected of them: maintain the stability of the network during the day with abundant and cheap energy, despite their Performance problems under extreme heat. The night is another song. At sunset, solar production falls to zero, but the refrigeration demand remains high. When the high temperatures persist until well into the night, Insufficient storage capacity (either in batteries or With pumping hydroelectric) forces to resort to gas and other fossil sources to cover the hole, shooting prices. The damn “Spred”. This temporal mismatch caused by the abundance of variable energy and the lack of resources to store it is what causes madness in prices. A daily price differential (the “spred”) of up to € 400/MWh in Germany and € 470/MWh in Poland. This night peak, and not the average price, is what triggers the final bill and makes the light through the clouds when more cheap energy is producing. The lesson is clear: the challenge is not only to generate cheap renewable energy, but manage it. More storage is needed to buy energy at low prices at noon and sell it at high prices in the afternoon. But also More European interconnections. The heat wave did not affect all of Europe with the same intensity and the same day. The biggest June peaks arrived in Madrid on Domingo, Paris on Tuesday and Berlin on Wednesday. The reinforcement of the interconnections will allow to distribute the cheap energy more and better.

This summer’s surprise success in Netflix combines superheroes and k-pop

by

‘The K-Pop Warriors’ is the undisputed surprise success of the summer: an animated film inspired by the K-Pop music that has been submitted to the top of Netflix’s success lists. One more proof that sometimes it is not necessary to have great names by supporting a production: strangely that it seems, sometimes it is enough to exhibit enough quality and originality. What happens to ‘The K-Pop Warriors’: Also known as ‘KPOP DEMON HUNERS’, the movie’s premise is pure fantasy: a group of idols of K-Pop They lead a secret life as demon jackets, in an absurd and highly stylized mixture of ‘Buffy Hunting’ and ‘Hannah Montana’. In this adventure, facing a band of villains, a group of boys who are also music stars, their responsibilities as Salvadoras of the world and more or less run over their massive success are quoted. Sweeping ‘The K-Pop Warriors’ arrived on the platform on June 20 and quickly reached the post number 1 in Netflix worldwideleading the most watched lists in 26 countries and entering The Top 10 in 93 territories. In its first two weeks, he accumulated more than 33 million views, being placed as the most watched film of the platform in that period. In fact, in the second week, he doubled his initial figures, from 9.2 million views in the first three days to 24.2 million and more than 40 million hours reproduced. That is, a phenomenon of pure mouth mouth. And be careful, that there is also critical and public impact: In Rotten Tomatoesthe film has 95% criticism and 90% of the public, which makes it the best combination of scores for an animated production output of the platform. Impact on multiple aspects. It is not just that the series is reaching unusual success thanks to the quality of its history or its impressive animation, but has transcended its initial success in streaming to become a global phenomenon that also dominates the musical field. Your soundtrack has also achieved a Notable impact: two of their songs entered the 200 Billboard and in their second week the streams In the US, they exceeded 42 million, with a 44% increase in digital downloads, an unusual achievement for an animated film. Who is behind. This success must to the participation of a couple of producers from the K-Pop industry, Teddy Park and Lindgren. The first is one of the most influential producers of the genre, and has written successes for Blackpink2Ne1 and Bigbang. The second is an international producer and composer of international scope, and has worked with artists such as Dua Lipa and BTS. Park took care that the songs sounded to Genuino K-Pop, not a low quality glow for a movie. And Lindgren, on the other hand, is responsible for the cabins to possess enough pop hook to impact the lists of successes. To round the product, in the songs you can hear voices of idols Reales such as Jeongyeon, Jihyo and Chaeyoung from Twice. The fandom can be satisfied. And now what. The overwhelming success of ‘The K-Pop warriors’ can leave an important mark in the industry, or at least advance some future trends. For example, it eliminates from Disney’s hands the monopoly of animated musical productions, introducing other genres and themes that are proven that they are interested in the Fandom: the K-Pop sells, and is a practically virgin material in the world of success animation. We are facing unstoppable force within the tastes of thousands of spectators. Lie groups. And linked to the latter, we must not forget that Hentr/X and Saja Boys, the leading groups of ‘The K-Pop Warriors’ are entirely virtual. Its sales and their achievements (for example, have reached number one of platforms such as Spotify) rival those of authentic groups, which opens the doors to more experiments of this type. The creation of fictitious artists, whose life was modeled by marketing departments, was common note in the K-Pop, but with this confirmation of the success of the idols Virtualthe genre continues to widen borders towards unknown limits.

Save the price or save power. And he has chosen the path of self -destruction

In just ten minutes of video call, eight OPEC+ countries made a decision with the potential to alter the balance of the global energy market. Behind this new movement, that could be expectedthere is something else: a carefully calibrated strategy, with economic and geopolitical implications that could spread far beyond the barrel. Opening the tap. Saudi Arabia, Russia, Iraq, United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Kazakhstan, Algeria and Oman – the eight OPEC+ countries that They applied volunteer cuts In 2023— they have been gradually increasing Your production. Now they have decided to accelerate this process: from August they will add 548,000 additional daily barrels, and do not rule out another similar increase in September. According to the official notethis could be completed before planning the total reversal of 2.2 million barrels per day that stopped pumping last year. Do you enjoy good health? It seems that yes, or at least that the reason declared by the OPEC+. From the organization They have expressed that there is a “good health of the oil market”, with low inventories and a global demand that remains stable. Giovanni Staunovo, UBS analyst cited by BloombergHe explained that “the market remains adjusted, suggesting that it can absorb additional barrels.” However, there are more reasons behind the scenes. According to Goldman Sachs bank has pointed out for Reuters that the measure is part of a broader strategy to normalize idle capacity and discipline the schist sector in the US. In this way, the entity provides that the eight countries will increase its collective production by 1.67 million BPD between March and September, with Saudi Arabia leading more than 60% of the increase. The threat of oversupply. In the short term, the market seems receptive. The same day of the ad, the price of crude rose slightly, challenging the most pessimistic predictions about the fall in demand. However, medium -term consequences are uncertain. The reality is that the market is currently “adjusted”, commercial tensions and The “Peak Oil” Chinese They could translate into a significant oversupply for the end of the year, especially in winter. The International Energy Agency It foresees a surplus of up to 1.5% of world consumption for the fourth quarter of 2025. In addition, some experts like Doug King, from RCMA Capital, They have remembered in Bloomberg that the “official” increase of the offer does not always equals real availability, since countries like Kazakhstan They keep breaking installments while Saudi Arabia presses for compensation to those who have overcome in the past. A possible domino effect. The OPEC+ decision impacts unevenly. For importing countries such as India or the European Union, the lowest prices of oil relieve internal economic tensions. But for producers outside the poster, the stage is more uncertain. The pressure on the American shale sector, highly dependent on prices above $ 60-65 per barrel, intensifies. Here enters the United States. Interestingly, this measure is also aligned with the political interests of Donald Trump, who has promised to reduce fuel costs to relieve the crisis of the cost of living. Your pressure on OPEC to increase production is well known, and its insistence on Apply tariffs and interest rate cuts could be tilting the balance in its favor. But there is another face: the American oil industry, one of Trump’s main economic and political bastions, It is also the most exposed. If prices fall below 60 dollars, many shale companies could see their profitability compromised. As Oilprice has pointed outdespite the current difficulties of companies such as Exxon and Shell, demand remains more robust than expected, challenging the collapse narrative for electric vehicles. However, the risk is clear: a new price drop could put in check to the United States’s own energy, which has already announced less perforations for this year due to the uncertainty of the market. Can Riad hold it? This is one of the big questions. Despite its apparent confidence, Saudi Arabia also faces internal pressures. According to the International Monetary Fundyou need prices above $ 90 per barrel to cover your budget. The economic reforms of the heir prince Mohammed Bin Salman, which include ambitious national projectsThey require sustained investments. According to Bloombergif prices collapse, Riad could be forced to cut public spending or even withdraw oil from the market to defend their income. A cyclical dynamic. This episode reveals a change in the OPEC+strategy: less emphasis on high prices and more focus on recovering market share, even at the expense of lower prices. As Oilprice has detailedoil remains a market subject to temporary swings, and large oil companies are better prepared to resist. But volatility remains the sign of time. The next chapter will be written on August 3, when the OPEC+ decides if it continues with the last stage of the planned increase, the oil market faces a key question: will the OPEC+ short -term pricing stability work in long -term influence?
