Xiaomi 17, Xiaomi 17 Pro, Xiaomi 17 Pro max, characteristics, price and technical file

by

Xiaomi has taken the first step at home with the launch of the 17, 17 pro and 17 pro max. Three models that, apart from its power and specifications, reveal a difficult intention to hide: Competerate frontal with Apple. Parallelism with iPhone 17 and 17 pro Not only is it in the name, but also in the way the brand has structured the range. The common denominator is a shared technical platform, but the differences arrive with concrete decisions in design, battery and photography. In the PRO, the great novelty is a back screen that seeks to recover the “Wow effect” on the Android scene.

Two years ago, an asteroid exploded over France with unusual violence. What saved the French was their size

by

February 13, 2023. It was 4:59 in the morning when a violent explosion illuminated the skies of Normandynorth of France. It was not a ray, nor a missile. It was the end of a travel of millions of kilometers for a small asteroid called 2023 Cx1. Seven hours of notice. The 650 -kilogram rock had just a meter in diameter, so it had been detected only seven hours before impact. But the most disturbing thing was not his surprise arrival, but his behavior when entering the earth’s atmosphere. An exhaustive analysis published two and a half years later in Nature Astronomy He has revealed that, if the asteroid had been larger, the consequences of his extraordinary explosion could have been devastating. A high -risk meteor. Most meteorites are fragmenting as they descend through the atmosphere, but 2023 CX1 endured intact until it reached a distance to the ground of only 28 kilometers. At that point, the pressure made it explode like a pump. After traveling through space for about 30 million years, the asteroid released 98% of all its kinetic energy in a second fraction. And in a very concentrated region of the atmosphere, when it reached a dynamic pressure of 4 megapascal. It does not compare with Cheliábinsk. The 2023 CX1 behavior was radically different from that of the car whose explosion of 500 kilotons He broke windows and caused hundreds of injured in Russia in 2013. The one in France generated a spherical shock wave instead of cylindrical, concentrating much more energy and greatly increasing the area of ​​soil affected by overpressure. According to researchers, this type of abrupt fragmentation could cause much more damage than the progressive fragmentations of similar size bodies. The French were lucky that it was so small. More firewood for planetary defense. The analysis was based on an unprecedented number of observations after mobilizing the scientific and citizen community in those seven hours of margin. The prediction of the fall by ESA and NASA had a margin of error of less than 20 meters between the planned and observed trajectory, which in turn facilitated the recovery of more than one hundred fragments of the meteorite in the commune of Saint-Pierre-Le Viger. According to the CSICwhich participated in the investigation, this event confirms the existence of a new population of asteroids, type L chondrites, capable of these violent explosions. “These asteroids must be taken into account in the Planetary Defense Strategiessince they represent a higher risk for populated areas, “says Auriane Egal, first author of the study. With what we know today, perhaps the authorities activate evacuation plans the next time an asteroid of this type threatens us. Provided that detection systems do not fail, and detect the threat in time.

The competition in the AVE has killed its bus line

by

Something is moving on the Spanish bus map. That something is the government’s intentions to reform the concessions that make up current photography. On the way there has been talk of reforming the entire system but also how many concessions already where they should be delivered. And that directly attacks very specific lines. In coma. Among all the concessions that Spain has awarded for bus service, The Madrid-Valencia line is one of those that agonizes. In fact, nobody wants to get that concession because with the high -speed line next to him does not come out profitable. After the concession, Alsa (the company that was exploiting this line) resigned to continue with it given its null profitability. Then a contest was convened to exploit a line that crosses all the Spanish width, from Badajoz to Valencia, passing through Madrid. That contest was completely deserted. Concessions? Yes, concessions. Bus lines In Spain they compete for concessions that are then exploited exclusively. These concessions last for years and, obviously, the company has to face the possible changes in the flows of movements that can occur between its passengers. In the system, therefore, it is competed before putting the buses on the road. A line is taken to competition and awarded the best bidder. In high railway speed, companies that demonstrate that they can technically operate on the road come to compete directly. On buses, that does not happen because the chosen company has exclusivity for a certain time. A deep change. What the government raises is that Spain needs a deep change in the concession system. In recent years, the market has been completely opened and that it is the companies that rival on the road at a price. However, the final intention is to take out a great contest maintaining the current concession system. Of course, given the large number of lines whose competitions are empty or companies that do not want to maintain their concessions, from the government advocate drastically reducing the number of runners. The intention is to pass Of the current 77 concessions to a total of 22. From the government they point out that this decision goes through the difficulty of placing these concessions but also because the way of moving of the Spaniards has changed in recent years. The cities have atomized (even more) the exits and arrivals but, in addition, the high -speed train and the competition have completely transformed the panorama. It is not competitive. What happens? When high speed has affordable prices, the bus is not competitive. In the Galician corridor The train has managed to eliminate travelerseven to the plane that is faster. In the case of the bus, the situation is even more complicated because, in addition, it is slower and uncomfortable. That leaves lines like that Badajoz-Madrid-Valencia without interested companies. With such a low volume of customers and a faster and more cheap alternative, prices have to be much more expensive to compensate. It is obviously the worst option. Whenever you travel to Badajoz, Madrid, Valencia or any of the stops where the train stops. What about us? All this directly impacts the paths of those who do not live in those cities or larger populations where there is a high -speed rail stop. The bus is in charge of generating a capillary network of paths among small populations where the only alternative is private transport. This is what they defend from Travel more by busan association that defends a competitive alternative so that this means of transport can survive. They bet on a complete liberalization in these lines that have to fight with high -speed lines. They point out that with the rates raised, The bus trip between Madrid and Valencia would entail an expense of between 40 and 50 euros for the client and a duration of more than four hours. With Renfe, Iryo and Ouigo fighting on the train, it is possible to make that same trip in the middle of time in half of the money. According to the CNMCthe average price of traveling with these companies in a Madrid-Valencia is 27.46 euros. What solution is there? According to this platform in defense of these less profitable bus lines, open them to direct competition. They point out that with the current layout, it is contemplated that the rates for operating will be recalculated with inflation and that, therefore, in 2035 the average price of the ticket will return to around 50 euros despite the fact that at the time of the new award a price of about 40 euros is established. In the other side of the currency we find associations like Confebus They point out that these concessions allow companies to better study the market and their profitability but, they defend, the traveler is protected because once the service has been awarded, the company has not to leave the line overnight.

If the question is how much salary you would be willing to give up for keeping teleworking, Europeans are clear: zero

by

Teleworking has been one of the Great changes in the organization of the labor market in Europe, although its objective has changed as normality was restored and companies returned to its offices. It was no longer an obligation imposed by COVID-19, but a benefit that It contributed time flexibility For conciliation and, above all, an effective weapon to attract and retain talent. In this context of “labor benefit”, the question of whether workers would be willing to sacrifice part of their salary to maintain the option of working from home has gained relevance between companies. The European Central Bank (ECB) has asked European employees to what percentage of salary would be willing to give up in exchange for maintaining teleworking. Their answers leave no doubt. Nor for all the money in the world. According to data extracted from the Consumer expectations survey (CES) From the European Central Bank, 70% of European workers are not willing to give up any part of their salary in exchange for Teleworking. On the other hand, 13% of the respondents would accept a reduction that would range between 1% and 5%, while only 8% would consent to a more significant salary reduction between 6% and 10%. This data is especially precious to companies since it allows quantifying the value that employees give to the possibility of teleworking, especially when this flexibility is offered as part of an emotional salary for the worker. Percentage of workers who would accept a salary cut and cutting percentage More and more teleworking … but hybrid. So much The data of Eurostat, like those of the Active Population Survey From the first quarter of 2025, they point out that teleworking levels They are maintainedboth European and nationally, well above the prepazed levels recorded in 2019. That means that there is more and more active population working from home. The greatest change that has occurred is that, while before 2019 the most common option was 100% remote work, now the most imposed modality is hybrid work in which work days and teleworking days are combined. That condition of hybrid day too Condition the salary percentage to which employees are willing to give up to keep teleworking. More teleworking, greater sacrifice. The data of the European Central Bank indicate that the most widespread option is to work two or three days a week from home and the rest from the office. For this formula, European workers would be willing to reduce their salary by an average of 2.6% to maintain that regime. The more teleworking days are offered, the greater the salary proportion than some would be willing to sacrifice. An employee who works his entire work week would accept a reduction of 4.6% of his salary, while those who only telework one day a week would barely contemplate 1.6% of cuts. The return to the office increases its pressure. In Europe, companies are not pressing their employees so much To return to your offices as the US companies are doing. This lower pressure is also reflected in the salary cuts that employees are willing to accept. In it Teleworking Study Study That researchers from Stanford and Chicago University have been doing for more than five years, it is noted that the average salary reduction accepted by remote work in the US is around 7%. This difference suggests that in Europe teleworking is no longer considered An exceptional privilegebut part of the basic working conditions in numerous sectors. The problem of eliminating teleworking. Given these data, some companies could be tempted to eliminate teleworking, or take advantage of the attachment of employees for this day model to reduce salaries. However, that plan that seems attractive in the short term, becomes a bad idea in the medium and long term. Telework has become a tool of the Human Resources Department for attract and retain a qualified personnel increasingly scarce. Just observe the waves of resignations and internal conflicts that have generated return policies to the office of Amazon Or, at a closer level, the Holaluz energy. However, offering some teleworking modality makes vacancies take less to cover themselves Because there are more candidates calling companies that maintain these models, and employees who already work on them have better levels of satisfaction.

Byd promised that his Yangwang U8 ‘floated’ and complies. The problem is when used in a street in the middle of a super -for

by

A byd vehicle has starred in a controversial incident during the floods of the Supertifón Ragasa in Zhuhai, Guangdong province. The driver of a luxurious Yangwang U8known for being the car ‘float’, repeatedly crossed a completely flooded street. So far, if it was not because the action ended up causing a good swell in the street, which caused several windows and damage to local shops to break. What happened. During the night of September 24, while the Supertifón Ragasa whipped Zhuhai with heavy rains that flooded several roads in the Doumen District, a Yangwang U8 byd several times on Jinwan Middle Road in Jing’an street. The images captured by the neighbors and shared by the medium CarnewschinaThey show how the SUV generated great waves when passing through the stagnant water, impacting the facades of nearby stores. Severe damage. The videos that circulated through social networks They showed Broken crystals and metal blinds deformed by the force of water. An affected merchant explained to the local media that “after passing the vehicle, the entire electrical circuit collapsed”, adding that the surveillance and other systems were unused. The owner thanked the residents who recorded the incident, since the images will serve as proof to claim the damage. The official answer. According to Share The media, Zhuhai police later confirmed that he had summoned the driver to interrogate him. The authorities asked the affected merchants to document all the damages and provide video surveillance material by submitting the corresponding complaints. The case is still under investigation. A vehicle designed for water. The case is ironic at least, since Yangwang U8, launched in China in 2023 for about 153,000 euros to the change, has amphibious capabilities specifically designed for emergency situations. Its intelligent individual traction system (IWD), with four independent engines, allows the SUV to float up to 30 minutes in emergency flotation mode and wade up to 1.4 meters deep in its off-road Master Edition version. What nobody expected is that the vehicle will end up sweeping everything in its path to propel the water and form a wave, causing multiple damage to nearby shops. A devastating typhoon. The Super Typhoon Ragasa, also known as Nando in the Philippines, has already broken the record of being the most intense of this 2025. It is causing winds of up to 270 km/Hy a minimum atmospheric pressure of 905 MB. It began on September 22 in Cagayan, the Philippines, and ended up extending through Taiwan, Hong Kong, Macau and South China. In his path, the typhoon Several lives have been charged25 registered so far, and more than a hundred injured, in addition to multiple damage to infrastructure.

Apple closed Intel years ago. Intel now wants to sneak into Apple with a clear argument: they are from the US

by

Intel is one of the most important companies in the technological sector and one of the heavyweights of integrated circuits. However, these last ten years, The company lost a third of its value. Intel’s decline is due, in part, to its inconsequential position in the mobile erawith ARM being the Winning bet of giants such as Microsoft or Apple. At that time, he lost one of his biggest clients: Apple. But history may have hit a turn with an unexpected reconciliation. And also very important for both parties. Intel wants Apple. The information comes from Bloombergmedium with journalists very close to Apple’s world and to which several anonymous sources have contacted these last hours to comment that Intel would have approached Apple with an objective: that those of Cupertino invest in them. They need it, and although it is nothing more than a rumor, the volatile market of shares has already given its opinion with a 6.4% rise after the medium report. Intel looking for money in Apple’s pockets is logical. His shares are around $ 30, while Apple’s move around $ 250, and getting such a large client would be a lifeguard. As were the 5,000 million dollars that Nvidia invested in Intel a few days agoturning the GPU giant and artificial intelligence into a holder of 4% of the actions of the semiconductor company. Apple needs Intel. Own Nvidia snatched Intel the crown If being the most valuable chips manufacturer in the world, but in that scenario in which Intel needs money and customers of Apple’s caliber, Apple needs Intel for a very concrete reason: local manufacturing. In August, and in an agreement as controversial as it is unconventional, United States acquired 10% Intel. Because? Because it is an American company, one of the most important functions and the current United States government is promoting that its technology to manufacture within its borders, leaving China or India. The previous executive, With the Chips law, he already gave huge incentives for this. With the current one, the incentive for companies is not to cold tariffs. And that is where Intel can be tremendously valuable for Apple. It does not go from processors. For a long time, the two companies seemed inseparable. Intel provided some of his best processors to Apple, as well as some internal components of the iPhone. However, things began to twist when Apple, looking for greater control over the manufacturing process of its devices, sought components on other sides, began to Design your own processors Based on ARM (Humbing Intel along the way) and even bought Intel’s modems business for 1,000 million dollars. First time the government intervened in a company from the rescue of the automobile industry In the 2008 crisis. But this agreement would not be for the manufacturer to supply pieces to those of the apple, at least, Bloomberg points out: the real interest is the commented: that An Apple that depends on TSMC To manufacture numerous components of SIS different families of devices go to manufacture them on American soil in Intel factories. Intel as touchstone. Neither Apple nor Intel have made statements, but a few days ago, Tim Cook commented that they would love to see Intel return to the business and there are many cross investments in this story. Apart from 10% purchased by the US and the 5,000 million NVIDIA, another company that has recently invested in Intel is Softbank, a Japanese giant who wants to expand in the US and It has arrived with 2,000 million for Intel. For its part, Apple advertisement which has 600,000 million to invest in national initiatives over the next four years. And that is where Intel could fit perfectly into that piece of the puzzle that is currently the semiconductor business, the companies that manufacture in China, India or Taiwan and the US demands to manufacture in local territory. It only remains to be waiting to see if all these lifeguards get Intel to recover his ancient glory. It will not be easybut we will be here to tell if the story changes … or if the great disaster of 2011 is repeatedsince its archirrival, TSMC also has great plans for the United States.

Microsoft has never been so valuable throughout its history. And he has never been so close to the abyss

by

The first computer of Satya NadellaCEO of Microsoft, was a VAX manufactured by Digital Equipment Corporation (Dec) in the late 1970s. That machine excited him in such a way that Nadella was clear about her future: she wanted to devote himself to computer science. More than that: I wanted to devote yourself to computer science and work for DEC. That could not be. The concept of microordoring the company was based on its own architecture, called Virtual Address Extension (hence Vax), but that technology ended up being crushed by which it would succeed at that time: the RISC architecture. The company tried to survive, but ended up being acquired in 1998 by Compaq and, a few years later, disappearing. The lesson that Nadella learned with Dec By the time the debacle started, Nadella had moved. After a brief period in Sun Microsystems, he began working in Microsoft in 1992 and was climbing positions until it ended becoming the company’s CEO in 2014. The funny thing is that now That past with Dec pursues him. This was recently confirmed at a meeting with Microsoft employees in which it confessed something important: “Our sector is full of practical cases of companies that were in their day and that simply disappeared. There is one in particular that persecutes me, called Dec.” In fact, he explained how “some of the people who contributed to Windows NT came from a DEC laboratory that was closed.” The Microsoft CEO thus answered an employee’s question about the moral situation in the company, which according to indicate in The Verge It is in historical minimums. Not in vain Microsoft has just suffered a massive round of layoffs with 9,000 affected employees. The curious thing, Nadella admitted, is that after 51 years in the market some metrics indicate that Microsoft is at its best. This shows Its stock market capitalization is around four billion dollars and places the Redmond company like the second or third —Intercambia positions with Apple, Nvidia remains unstoppable – company of the world in relevance. “But at the same time, when I think of the degree of difficulty that awaits us, to be able to navigate a changing industry, a changing technological sector and a changing economy, we have a very hard job ahead.” And they certainly have it. What happens if the software doesn’t matter when you are the largest company in the software world The main external threat for Microsoft is not that IA improves existing software products. It is to make them irrelevant. Nadella himself admitted it to saying at that meeting with employees that “all the categories we could have loved for 40 years may not matter.” Days later he talked about all this in a post on the official Microsoft blog. He titled it “Recomproming us with our why, ours what and ours“. The implications of paradigm shift are colossal for world software giant: Office and Windows: Traditionally its great sources of income, the productivity suite and its operating system can end up having no place in our world. If an AI agent can end up managing all office tasks, creating documents, analyzing data and coordinating the work without the need for the Office suite or even a traditional operating system interface, the base of the Microsoft business would be eroded. We would no longer use an application to do the job. We would say to an AI to do it, how is it starting to happen. Competitors without ties: The new AI companies are not weighed by the legacy of an office suite or a 40 -year -old operating system. These startups can design lighter, fast and totally native solutions in the AI ​​era. For Nadella it makes no sense “to be in love with what we create in the past.” The situation for Microsoft is certainly disturbing. Despite its multimillionaire investment in OpenAi, The relationship has evolved To turn both companies into uncomfortable allies that are sought their own B plans Like softbank, Nvidia or Oracle. For Microsoft, things have not gone so well: it has injected billions to end depending on the technology of another company that is also becoming direct competitor. He has bazas in his favor as his gigantic Azure infrastructure, but not even that ensures survival. The Microsoft’s pressure to reinvent itself It is huge. He already achieved it after the failure in the segments of Internet search engines, social networks or finally mobile phones, but now the black clouds appear again with the AI ​​boom. The funny thing is that Microsoft was the Big Tech that adopted the AI ​​paradigm shift with the necessary intensity. His bet – especially, by OpenAi – was extraordinary, but for them the threat is not that of a company that ignores the change, but that of one that perhaps made the wrong bets. At the moment it does not have a competitive foundational model, and that co -driver overload has not just set in the market. What will Nadella and your company do to react? You move, Microsoft. In Xataka | The marriage between Openai and Microsoft is broken at times. The problem is that both are still needing

Europe saw the Ukraine War from home comfort. Until the war has moved to its airports

by

The war in Ukraine has devoured Russia’s human and material resources at a devastating rhythm: more than 250,000 soldiers dead and about one million of total casualties, a cost higher to all its wars since 1945. This fact has conditioned Moscow, but has also enhanced a war that has turned the airspace of the rest of Europe into chaos: The hybrid war. The bleeding and the turn. Forbes counted This week that, despite that human sacrifice, Moscow has barely expanded 12% The territory under its control, at the price of losing ten men for each square mile conquered. Thus, unable to sustain the conventional war, the Kremlin has replaced the number of troops by the Drones deploymentcapable of launching more than a thousand projectiles and responsible for Up to 70% of the Ukrainian casualties. The bet is so clear that it is expected to form more drone operators What infantry soldiers From here to 2030. With this transition, Moscow has converted the swarm of unmanned aircraft into the central tool of a hybrid strategy that not only points to Ukraine, but now Also to all of Europe. Civil aviation, the first front. The European airports They have been the first to feel the effects of this war in the shadow. Drone raids forced the Temporary airport closure In Copenhagen and Oslo, while a ransomware attack paralyzed billing systems in London-Heathrow, Berlin and Brussels. What were previously isolated incidents has become a coordinated series of interruptions that show to what extent civil aviation, highly interconnected, is vulnerable to hybrid sabotage that combines low cost devices with cyber attacks. The experts They point That these episodes seek to measure the European reaction capacity, and warn that the cost of modernizing antidron systems (radars, inhibitors, lasers) is so high that many airports are not prepared to assume it immediately. The result: hundreds of delayed or canceled flights and an unprecedented exhibition of the weaknesses of an essential sector. Denmark as an epicenter. In just one week, Denmark has undergone a Succession of incursions with drones on key airports such as Aalborg or Billund and on military bases where their f-16 and F-35 fighters operate. Defense Minister Troels Lund Poulen, described These operations as a hybrid attack executed by a “professional actor” and acknowledged that they could lead to activate Article 4 of NATO for the first time in the history of the country. Prime Minister, Mette Frederiksen, He described Copenhagen’s closure as the most serious attack suffered by Danish critical infrastructure. The government even studies legal changes to authorize civil operators of strategic facilities to demolish drones in case of threat. In parallel, political pressure has led to Call of meetings Joints in the EU to discuss the creation of a “drone wall” on the eastern borders of the continent. Europe and a challenge. The incidents In Poland, Romania, Estonia and Denmark have uncovered a major problem: Europe’s inability to face Cheap threats and massive like drones. The systems designed to intercept fighters or ballistic missiles are revealed ineffective against swarms of small low -cost devices, which go unnoticed to the radars or saturate the defenses. The magnitude of the Intrusion in Poland and airspace violations In Estonia They have shown that the gap is real. General stones They warn That what they need are not very expensive and scarce systems, but scalable defenses, cheap and mass produced: sensors, electronic war tools, small interceptors and short -range missiles. The proposal of A “Drones Wall” that covers borders with Russia, Belarus and Ukraine reflects urgency, but also the complexity of protecting against a threat in constant evolution. The conflict at home. The truth is that, for a long time, Europe contemplated the invasion of Ukraine from a distance, with the feeling that the war was fought in a foreign scenario. Today that perception It has vanishedat least in part: The hybrid war It has already closed airports In Denmarkparalyzed systems in Berlin, Brussels and London, and put at risk the safety of commercial flights. Thus, the front has moved to the tracks, to the navigation systems and the digital networks that support the daily life of millions of Europeans. If you want also, Russia has made the war cease to be a distant echo to become A tangible reality In the heavens and in the infrastructure of the continent, forcing NATO and the EU to rethink its defense in a new and most disconcerting terrain.

Windows 10 was going to die next month. Microsoft has just thrown a lifeguard to all who wanted to continue using it

by

The end of official support for Windows 10 security updates It is near. However, if your intention is not to update Windows 11, either because you do not have a PC compatible with its strict requirements, or because you simply do not want, Microsoft offers A series of options To US and European users to obtain one more year of completely free security updates. Under these lines we tell you what options you have. Deadline for a few weeks. Microsoft had set on October 14 as the final final of the security updates for Windows 10, which meant that from that date there would be no more free security patches. This left the more than 650 million world users who continue to use this operating system in a delicate situation, having to update Windows 11 or run out of security updates. In Europe we win. Microsoft has enabled its domestic users two paths to get free updates. In Europe, Simply logged in With a Microsoft account to access updates for another year. After the pressure of multiple agencies in Europe, the company has confirmed that users of the European Economic Space will be able to enjoy an additional year of free security updates for Windows 10. In the United States, not so much luck. In the United States, The options you had announced are maintained. In this case, users will have two ways to stay in Windows 10 for one more year with free security updates. On the one hand, they can upload their profiles to the Microsoft cloud and make a backup through the app Windows Backupor redeem 1,000 points of the program Microsoft Rewards. Users who are selected for the extended security updates program (ESU) will find a notice through Windows Update and can thus select the option that best suits them. You can also pay. The other option is to pay $ 30 for an additional year. In the case of companies, the ESU program offers up to three years More updates, being more expensive than the previous one to keep the device in this operating system. In fact, in Windows 10, this program is the first time it is offered to users, being something exclusively oriented to companies so far. At the moment, domestic users will only have free updates up to one year if they choose any of the options described. The pressure that has led to this change. The decision has not emerged from nothing. European consumer organizations have actively pressed against the end of support. The French halte a l’Obsolescence Programee launched A petition asking for free updates until 2030, while the German consumer federation warned in May that Microsoft’s decision “worries consumers and limits their ability to make free purchase decisions.” From the Euroconsumers group, an organization dedicated to the protection of the European consumer, we can see A letter of response from the organization where they confirm that Microsoft has approved the users of the European Union to be able to obtain free security updates for another year in Windows 10 without having to do anything more than logging with a Microsoft account in the system. Incompatible hardware. Many users find that their teams do not meet the technical requirements of Windows 11, either by The TPM 2.0 chip mandatory, or by Specific instructions of processor that are indispensable for the operation of Windows 11. The good thing is that the first thing can be raffled, but the second does not. This leaves them in the position of having to buy a new computer or risk using a system without safety updates. The free extension gives them a one -year respite to evaluate their options. Other alternatives. However, there are also other third -party methods, such as the one that offers 0patchwho undertake to offer free security updates for Windows 10 to 2030. In addition, users can also explore alternative options such as Windows LTSC or try some Linux dystro (maybe it’s time). What comes later. This measure is temporary and strategic, since Microsoft gains time for more users to voluntarily migrate to Windows 11 while avoiding criticism for abandoning millions of people. After this year of grace, in theory there will be no more free security updates for Windows 10 users. But who knows, Microsoft is changing again in the face of so much pressure. We’ll see. In Xataka | Microsoft is already thinking about how the computers of 2030 will be and has come to a conclusion: playing is overvalued

that some Tesla clients go to diesel

by

Tesla is losing the battle for the loyalty of her clients in the US since Elon Musk began His political adventure and Tesla stagnated in the renewal or expansion of its electric cars. A Global S&P report reveals that many Tesla users are changing to other brands, and some are even driving cars with diesel engines. This fall in the loyalty of Tesla users is a thermometer for the reach of the brand reputation crisismore than a change in trend in the electric car market in general. The elephant in the room. Tesla is not living its best commercial moment. Even though their shareholders trigger the price of their actions promoted by the enthusiasm that has caused the Elon Musk Billonario BonusTesla’s sales do not trace. According The published By Euronews, the data of the Association of European Automobile Constructors (ACEA) suggest that Tesla has suffered a sales drop of 40%, and only in July the company sold 42.4% less in the EU. The bad news for Tesla are that this fall It is not generalized throughout the sector of the electric car. In comparison, during the month of July its main rival, Byd, put on the street 200% more cars than in the previous registry, ensuring a market share of 1.1% in the EU, while Tesla remains at 0.7%, falling from 2.1% share that the brand signed in 2024. That means that Tesla still has an important weight in the electric car market, but it is no longer a priority option because the market It has become much more competitive in prices and models. The stagnation of Tesla. Tesla’s reputation has been seriously affected Since Elon Musk began to get involved in politics. According to A report From the S&P Global consultant, in the second quarter of 2025, the loyalty of customers in the US to Tesla fell 9.4% compared to the previous year. This percentage places the brand below Ford, although even above Chevrolet, Toyota, Honda or Mercedes-Benz. This Down in Loyalty to Tesla On the part of its clients it is not due to a loss of reliability of their cars as it could happen in other cases, but to its decisions as a company. Many Tesla users decide not to return to Buy a car Tesla and look for rival brands that offer broader ranges and equipment options that Tesla no longer offers. As a relevant fact, with the exception of Cybertruck, which is not available in all markets, Tesla does not present a new model Since 2019 with Model Y. During that time, the electric car market has been filled with options for all sizes, prices and finishes that do connect with the needs of Tesla users and, when it is time to renew it, they opt for other brands. Tesla is an atypical manufacturer. Tesla’s problem with respect to those who are already customers is that it is not a car manufacturer to use, but in the background it is a software manufacturer and electrical infrastructure. That is, its business model is not based on taking out a new car every three or four years like the rest of the manufacturers, but on creating a platform and updating its software to improve its benefits throughout its useful life. That makes, when a Tesla user seeks to renew his car, he does not find in the concessionaire A new model that makes him feel that he is buying something more modern and current, but that he meets the same car that has parked In his garage, with some aesthetic touch -ups at most. As much as at the software level they have Improved and added new functions and benefits during that time. The electric car user is not loyal. The Global S&P study data show that, in general, the electric car customer is not faithful to a single brand, not even a type of fuel. So far this year, only 58.7% of households with electric car changed to another electric, compared to 68% registered two years ago. On the other hand, combustion car users do remain on this platform when they change car by 84%, although the study indicates that they gradually lose strength in the market. The Tesla client is no different. If we focus on Tesla users, in 2025, only 52.1% of Tesla customers repeated purchase with the brand, compared to 67% recorded in 2022 and 2023. Of those who decided not to buy a tesla again, 68.9% did so to an electric car of another brand, while 31% made a more drastic change and went to combustion cars, being 28% diesel This last fact is striking, since diesel cars are very uninfused in the United States and are mainly available in pick-ups and large SUVs, which leaves Cybertruck in Very bad position Among the purchase options for this segment.
