Month: November 2025

Today it has become the dream of many young people

by

The data suggests that salaries have increased in 2025 compared to 2024, largely driven by staff shortages and the imposition of a minimum wage that has raised salaries lower. However, these global figures hide important differences depending on age and type of contract, with young people being the ones who suffer the most. economic difficulties. Despite this general improvement, almost two million workers earn less than 1,070 euros per month, a figure that shows that the salary insecurity continues to be present in a considerable sector of the population. Salaries are rising, but not all the same. Data from the 2024 Labor Force Survey (EPA) that have just been publishedreveal that in Spain the average salary has experienced some changes in recent years, reaching an average of 2,385.6 euros gross per month in 2024, which represents an increase of 113 euros compared to 2,273 euros in 2023. According to INE data, the average salary rose by 5%, increasing to 110 euros more per month, while the median salary stood at 2,001.4 euros, which represents an increase of 65.9 euros per month (3.4%). This increase in salaries even exceeds the inflation rate, which was 3%, and reflects the highest increase recorded since 2006, when these data began to be collected. Young people: hopefully mileurista. However, this increase is not transferred to the same extent to the salaries of young people who have just entered the labor market. For the first time since 2016, the average salary of young people between 16 and 24 years old has been reduced by 14.6 euros per month compared to the average salary in 2023. This leaves young people with an average annual salary of 16,700 euros gross, which is equivalent to the Minimum Interprofessional Wage. According to the INE, those under 24 years of age earn an average of 1,372 euros gross per month, which represents a decrease compared to 2023 and a real loss in purchasing power. This situation is worrying because it accentuates the historical gap with respect to the generation of more experienced workers, whose average salary exceeds 2,680 euros. This difference generates a intergenerational wage gap of more than 40%, a figure that confirms the difficulties for young people to achieve economic stability comparable to that of their elders. Stable and precarious work. The data show that the wage gap among different age groups has been expanding in recent years. In 2024, the amount of average salaries will almost double among young people who have just entered the labor market, with the aforementioned 1,372 euros gross per month, and those who face the final stretch of their professional career with an average salary of 2,680.7 euros gross per month. The INE explains this difference by highlighting that many young people are in a situation of multiple employment or with temporary contracts, seeking to combine several jobs to be able to make ends meet. For their part, workers with more experience “have a greater relative weight in the highest salaries, since they have a greater proportion of indefinite contracts, greater seniority and more work experience.” 30% collect the SMI. The rise in the SMI has pushed up the lowest salaries creating a greater mass of active population concentrated in the range of 16,600 euros. Specifically, some 5.5 million workers (30% of the total) earn salaries below 1,582.2 gross euros per month. Among them, 1.84 million receive 1,068 euros gross per month for having part-time contracts in their main job. It is not all bad news, 40% of employees (about 7,375,900 people) earn between 1,582 and 2,659 euros. The remaining 30%, some 5,531,900 employees, are in the three highest deciles, with gross monthly salaries of 2,659.8 or more euros.

Half of Spain is on alert due to snow and yet AEMET has not issued a single red notice: what is happening here?

by

“Historical Polar Beast“, “New Philomena“, “the polar storm that threatens Spain“: Much has been written about the intrusion of cold air that is causing drops in temperatures, snowfall and trouble throughout the north of the country. And not always without reason. In fact, the Junta de Castilla y León has declared the alert for snowfall in the provinces of Burgos, León, Palencia and Soria. And yet, AEMET has not issued a red weather warning. What is happening here? QTo start: everything is working normally. And we must not forget that AEMET and Civil Protection do not do the same work. The State Meteorological Agency is limited to issuing weather warnings that are based on physical and objective thresholds. Civil Protection, on the other hand, declares the alert based on the expected impact (on the population and/or infrastructure). In this sense, they are not things that can be linked directly. And what is happening these days is a textbook example. AEMET has not activated red warnings, simply because snowfall exceeding the highest thresholds is not expected. Yes, the snow level had dropped a lot… but in reality, no one expected a lot of snow to fall. This does not mean, as is evident, that it is not an important episode; Only it is not an extreme episode in purely meteorological terms. In social terms, it is different. Because as Víctor Gonzalez explained There are a series of factors that make this relatively small winter storm something to take into account. To begin with, it is the first episode of snowfall at low levels of the season. As with heat waves in summer, the first ‘episodes’ are always more dangerous because they ‘catch’ the population unprepared. Especially when (as is happening now) that episode comes earlier than usual, when winter hasn’t even started yet. In addition, it coincides with very busy days (because we are talking about a very busy weekend). An important lesson: When we talk about meteorology, it doesn’t just matter how much snow falls, how hot it is going to be, or how much water a storm will dump. What really matters is when, where and on whom it falls. As Víctor González said“If this same episode occurred on a Tuesday in February, perhaps the alert would not have been declared.” Image | ECMWF | Alev Takil In Xataka | AEMET is clear about what we can expect from the polar storm that threatens Spain: the question is whether we are prepared

charge triple to leave the country

by

Japan faces a dilemma, one that is not unknown in Spain: the country is enjoying a real tourist boom that is allowing you spray their own records of foreign visitors and irrigates its economy with billions of yen, but that popularity comes with a much less positive “B side.” Japan has long shown signs of a clear saturation that affects its inhabitants and increases pressure on its public services and infrastructure. Faced with such a scenario, there is an idea that is beginning to take shape: triple one of the taxes paid by all tourists in the country, the ‘exit rate’. Triple the tax? That’s how it is. At the moment it is just an idea on the table, but one that is solid enough that it has already crept into the political debate and grabbed headlines in media such as Nikkei, Kyodo either Asashi Shimbun. The Japanese Government and the ruling coalition parties are considering increasing the “exit tax”a rate applied since 2019 and that must be paid by all tourists who leave the country, whether foreigners or locals, traveling for leisure or work reasons. The idea has also been discussed in a commission on tourism of the Liberal Democratic Partytraining in power. What do they propose to do? Triple the rate. In practice, this is equivalent to a tax that now costs 1,000 yen (5.5 euros) per person becoming 3,000 (16.7 euros), or even more. The proposal of the Liberal Democratic Party is that the increase takes place during fiscal year 2026 and that the increase is felt especially in the pockets of business class visitors or those who travel in business. For them the international rate would rise to 5,000 yen (€27.8). The Sanae Takaichi Executive might not take long to make a decision. Nikkei keep it up that the Government wants to have a clear position before the end of the year, once it has heard from the tax commission, among other organizations. If it goes ahead, tourists will notice it in their wallets but a priori not in extra administrative procedures: the tax is usually added to the plane or boat ticket. What is the objective? Inject more funds into public coffers to compensate for the expenses generated by the flood of tourists. In practice, clarify Nikkeithat means investing in the construction of parking, improving the waste collection system or reservation systems and decongesting public transport. The ‘exit tax’ was already generated last fiscal year 52.4 billion yenabout 291 million euros. If the rate finally triples and taking into account that Japan keep breaking month after month its visitor records, that number could skyrocket. This week the National Tourism Organization has revealed that in October the flow of foreign tourists skyrocketed 17.6% reaching almost 3.9 million foreign visitors. So far this year it totals 35.5 million. Perfect, right? More or less. In Japan there are destinations that have been giving saturation samples (including Mount Fuji) and some administrations have already opted for tax increasebut tripling the ‘departure rate’ could have another, less desired consequence: discouraging trips by Japanese tourists abroad, which still remain at levels very inferior to those before Covid-19. To avoid this, the Government is considering combining the increase in the tax with the reduction of another tax that its own citizens pay: the fees for issuing passports. Right now the online procedures to request a title valid for 10 years cost around 15,900 yenaround 88.3 euros. Does context matter? Yes. The debate over the ‘departure tax’ comes at a delicate time for Japanese tourism. The influx of foreign visitors may be increasing, but the increased tension between Tokyo and Beijing threatens one of the markets most important for Japanese tourism: China. Xi Jinping’s government already has asked its citizens to avoid traveling to Japan, which has resulted in the cancellation of tens and tens of thousands of trips. Now the Takaichi Government must decide whether to raise rates against this backdrop.

We have tried to write this article from an AVE. It has been an ordeal

by

In case anyone is confused, today are the Xataka NordVPN Awards 2025. That means that the editorial team travels from our respective cities to Madrid, mostly by train. We are very hard-working people and we always take advantage of the trip to write an article, or at least we try when Renfe’s WiFi allows us to. We are Amparo Babiloni and Jose García, join us in this sad story. These lines are written by me, Amparo Babiloni, on the Valencia-Madrid AVE on Thursday, November 20 and connected to the Play Renfe network. I like the risk. The simple fact of connecting and being able to start working (halfway) has been an ordeal. How to improve WiFi at home To give you an idea: I got on the train at 8:30 and I wasn’t able to start writing this until almost an hour later. Just logging into the administrator took me about ten minutes and opening the draft at least five more. Slack does not work directly, neither in the app nor in the browser. Jose here. I left Córdoba at 8:33 and I intended to take advantage of the trip to do some work. The departure from Córdoba has been terrible, since it passes through areas with many tunnels, then mountains and then we enter a network wasteland such as Castilla-La Mancha. I don’t know what happens in Castilla-La Mancha, but that stretch is terrible. Not only does the WiFi network not work, but the coverage is terrible. Good. Connecting to the VPN is an impossible mission. In addition to having to confirm that I trust the network certificates, it is impossible to take advantage of the WiFi network and have the VPN activated. In fact, I write this with the VPN disabled, something that gives me some respect on a public network. Ah yes, happy to accept this. During the first hour of the trip I completely depended on the mobile network to write an article and respond to some important emails. Thank goodness I uploaded the images yesterday from home, because having had to upload 30 JPEGs of six megas I might as well have started crying. Slack was only half loading (I couldn’t see my colleagues’ profile photos) and this article is being coordinated by Amparo and I in the best way possible. Amparo is offline, I hope she’s okay. It’s 10:13. They just told me over the public address system that there is an incident at the entrance to Madrid, so I find myself half an hour from Madrid completely stopped 🤷‍♂️ Dizzying speeds Amparo returns. The first leg of the trip I suffered quite a few outages, but now it seems that the network has more or less stabilized and I have been able to write all this in one go. But let’s see what a speed test tells us. The image weighs 13.9KB. It took more than a minute to upload This is the download and upload speed while passing through Castilla-La Mancha. One thing that both Jose and I have noticed is that the network is better as we get closer to Madrid, probably because there are more antennas. This contrasts with what we live in 2016 when we tried Renfe WiFi for the first time. At that time we found “a very good connection speed, with peaks of 53 Mb/s for both upload and download, and with minimums of 9 Mb/s for download and 13 Mb/s for upload in an area with little coverage.” (My connection has been cut here) It’s back, but it took me a while to be able to continue writing because every time I open any new tab it takes an average of 2-3 minutes to load, that is if it doesn’t freeze. The speed entering Chamartín. I have repeated the test by entering the station and the download speed still does not even reach 2MB. In fact, it’s even worse than when I was further away from the city. I have to leave you now, we just arrived. At least this time it wasn’t due to a network outage. Hello, I’m Jose. It’s 10:29, I’m still standing half an hour from Madrid. The train driver is being very considerate in informing us of the situation. The issue seems resolved, but now the entrance is congested. ADIF has not yet given an estimate of the duration of the stoppage, so until further notice, we are still here. Right now, half an hour from Madrid, the network is stable, although the speed barely exceeds 1 Mbps. I have tried to liven up the wait by watching a video about the new Bambu Lab 3D printer, but it was not a good idea. All videos load by default in 240p. If I increase the resolution, the video stops and stays in an infinite loading loop. I could resort to a PlayRenfe movie, but since November 1 They are no longer available. The thing is that I have a 5G network on my mobile (at a speed of 15 Mbps, let’s not go crazy either), so it definitely seems like a problem with the train’s own WiFi network. The cell phone tells us that it is not a WiFi 6 network (which would help with congestion), but the underlying problem could be a host of things. A possible cause A possible origin of the problem is that the desire to eat and hunger come together. First of all, you have a low-speed network that is not prepared for support the huge number of devices that there is a train consuming bandwidth. We are writing this text, but there may be people watching TikTok, YouTube or doing more demanding things. (It’s 10:32, the train is moving again) Secondly, trains cannot escape the laws of physics. The Córdoba-Madrid AVE is currently moving at 248 km/h and the Doppler effect does his thing. As we see each other, the signal intensity constantly changes and the systems must compensate for these variations. The faster … Read more

Justice condemns Meta to pay 479 million euros to Spanish media for unfair competition

by

Meta has been condemned by the Commercial Court No. 15 of Madrid to pay 479 million euros to 87 media and news agencies integrated into the Information Media Association. According to the ruling, picked up by AMIthe company is considered to have gained an unfair competitive advantage by illicitly using personal data on Facebook and Instagram for “behavioral advertising.” The resolution, dated November 19, 2025, is not final and can be appealed. We have requested comments from Meta and are awaiting a response. The origin of the case dates back to May 2018, when The General Data Protection Regulation came into force and Meta modified the legal basis for processing the personal data of its users, moving from consent to the supposed need for a contract. On December 1, 2023, the News Media Association filed the lawsuit in court. The preliminary hearing was held on November 27, 2024 and the oral hearing took place on October 1 and 2, 2025, after an economic claim of between 551 million euros. GDPR violation, not advertising violation. The resolution focuses on the way in which personal data was obtained and processed, rather than on the advertising activity itself. According to the ruling, the processing lacked a valid legal basis under the GDPR, because the contract formula does not replace informed consent. This violation is considered sufficient reason to activate article 15.1 of the Unfair Competition Law, which penalizes obtaining advantages in the market through regulatory non-compliance. The 5,281 million under analysis. During the procedure, the court notes, Meta Ireland did not provide its operating accounts in Spain, despite having been requested. Given this absence, the judge applied the rules of the burden of proof and validated the data presented by the plaintiff. Based on these elements, it estimated that, between May 25, 2018 and August 1, 2023, Meta would have earned more than 5,281 million euros with its advertising business in Spain. How compensation is calculated. To set the amount of compensation, the court used the Study on the conditions of competition in the online advertising sector in Spain prepared by the CNMC. Based on the market shares of the affected period, it was established that the income obtained by Meta through a practice contrary to the RGPD should be redistributed among competitors. The ruling considers it proven, with “reasonable plausibility,” that the digital press suffered lost profits. The ruling does not end the matter. The sentence itself admits of appeal and it will be the Provincial Court that will evaluate the arguments of both parties if the procedure continues. Until then, the case serves to place at the center the question of how privacy, commercial exploitation of data and competition should be related in the digital environment. The company has not yet expressed its position. We have requested your evaluation and are waiting to receive official comments.

the estimated date on which you will have your musical summary of the year

by

Let’s tell you What date is Spotify Wrapped 2025 expected?or at least the time frame in which it usually comes out in previous years. It is that summary that shows you in slides the songs, artists or musical styles that you have listened to the most in 2025. Spotify is the most popular music streaming platform, so there are many people who want to be able to see and share the statistics of everything you have been listening to. Of course, remember that these are not statistics for the entire year, but rather they normally only count until the beginning of November. Please note that As soon as Wrapped 2025 comes out we will have a publication on Xataka to let you know and explain how it works and what it offers. When does Wrapped 2025 come out? There is no specific date for the launch of Spotify Wrapped, that is the first thing you should be clear about. However, by knowing when it has been released in recent years you can get an idea of ​​when you can expect this one to arrive, or at least a fairly narrow time frame in which it should happen. Last year Wrapped was released on December 4, which fell on a Monday. But the previous year it happened on November 29, which fell on a Wednesday, but that doesn’t mean anything because every year it is on a different date. The normal thing is that it is in the last week of November or the first week of Decemberso it must be already falling. Looking at this year’s calendar, it seems logical that Wrapped will fall again in the first week of December, between November 30 and December 4. If they do it on Monday the 30th, they would match a move similar to last year’s by doing it on a Monday, and to that of the previous year by waiting until the last day of November. Maybe Spotify decides to go ahead and release it in the previous week, it has happened before, but It seems less likely that they will wait until the second of December. Although you never know in these things. To view these statistics you will need to be a paying user and have an active subscription. To access the statistics you have to enter the website spotify.com/es/wrappedwhich is where the visualizations will begin. But you won’t be able to access the statistics until it is officially launched.

Apple TV once again prioritizes quality over everything else

by

AppleTV has done it again. It is a platform that we could consider minority, which refuses to follow the currents that unify the rest…and gives us one of the best series we can see right now. Vince Gillighan’s seal of quality, a plot that will be familiar to science fiction regulars and a tremendous humanist message that reflects on the here and now. It’s ‘Pluribus’ and these are some of the keys to its success. How it started. After closing the ‘Breaking Bad’ universe with the end of ‘Better Call Saul’ in 2022, Vince Gilligan presented an original project to Sony Pictures Television completely unrelated to Walter White. A bidding war between platforms then broke out in which Apple TV+ won, offering what Gilligan valued most: “trust and time.” Trust translated into figures: each episode of ‘Pluribus’ has a $15 million budgetquintupling what ‘Breaking Bad’ cost. What is it about? “The most miserable person on Earth must save the world from happiness,” reads the official synopsis from Apple TV+. Carol Sturka, author of romanticasydiscovers he is one of just 13 people immune to the “Union”: an extraterrestrial virus that merges human minds into a perpetually optimistic collective consciousness. The film’s title inverts the American motto “E pluribus unum” (out of many, one) to question what happens when individualism dies out. Gilligan, a self-declared “science fiction nerd my entire life,” wanted to “touch every trope of the sci-fi world“. For example, Carol baptizes the hive as “Pod People”, a direct tribute to ‘The invasion of the ultrabodies‘, which Gillighan obviously cites along with ‘The Twilight Zone’ as a fundamental inspiration. There are also something from the Borg of ‘Star Trek‘ when designing the hive mind, but in general the entire series breathes an air of classic sci-fi, like a Richard Matheson story, absolutely delicious. Everyone loves ‘Pluribus’. The series has been unanimously acclaimed on aggregators such as Rotten Tomatoes (99%) or Metacritic (86). Her it has been said which is “an exceptional and distinctive vehicle for its star” (incidentally, Gilligan conceived the project as a vehicle for Rhea Seehorn, who agreed to come on board before reading a single draft of the script). BBC crowned her as “one of the most intelligent and entertaining series of 2025“and Variety as a”captivating piece of television“. Is it that good? It’s all a matter of opinion, but… yeah. Now his proposal, of original science fiction with a super-production budget in an audiovisual era kneeling before the franchises It is worthy of admiration. But also, the balance between satire, forceful drama and exquisite staging is just what we can expect from the creator of ‘Breaking Bad’, with that narrative that unfolds very little by little, without artificial secrets or cheap twists, but keeping the viewer absolutely fascinated with what happens. There will be those who may object to its overtly symbolic approach, but the satire works perfectly (in the first instance, towards the AI artifacts; secondly, to the post-internet human species that we have left, where our only objective is to express an eternal complacency towards strangers). There is infinite space in its approach to show us characters that move in an infinite scale of gray, as in fact it has already done in just three chapters, and that force us to ask ourselves in each episode the million-dollar question: what would I do? Apple TV, the great winner of all this. ‘Pluribus’ represents one of its most ambitious bets to date for the platform (not bad for someone who has built a mastodon like ‘Foundation’). The platform invests between 4,500 and 5,000 million dollars annually in contentpursuing a radically different strategy than Netflix or Disney+: prestige over massive volume. Apple TV controls only 8-9% of the business streaming in the US after Netflix, Prime Video, HBO Max and Disney+. But its objective is different. Apple TV+ has become the prestige area of ​​the streamingthat corner in which HBO once sat comfortably. Now there are more viewers than in the days of ‘The Sopranos’ and Apple TV loses about a billion dollars a year, but can afford it. The figures are overwhelming: 271 original titles compared to 13,000 from Prime Video, but yes, 271 titles of unquestionable technical and artistic quality. Apple TV, and ‘Pluribus’ is the best proof, it does not seek to conquer the numbers, but the conversation. In Xataka | The 21 best science fiction series

The BYD Atto 2 has until now been a car poorly received by the market. And he had earned merits for it. In a country like Spain, where the electric car now seems to begins to spread its wingsPurely urban cars have it very complicated. With a battery of just over 40 kWh, it was very difficult to convince because in those cases leaving the urban area causes a lot of headaches. But the Chinese company has taken what seemed like a weakness and turned it into a missile to attack rivals. On a missile with a nuclear warhead. The electric version has been renewed and now offers an alternative with more than 60 kWh. But here we are to talk about the plug-in hybrid version. A car that has no rival for price and equipment. A car that with the aid that is in forcewhich they have been and those that, it is assumed, will be availableis the gateway to pluggable mobility. I would say more, it is confirmation that someone looking for a “cheap” or “accessible” car can also buy a plug-in hybrid with a Zero Emissions label and have that car for everything. Because right now there is no cheaper car with this technology on the market. Technical data sheet of the BYD Atto 2 DM-i BYD Atto 2 DM-i Body type. Five-seater SUV. Measurements and weight. 4.33 meters long, 1.83 meters wide and 1.675 meters high. Wheelbase of 2.62 meters. Weight: 1,510 kg Active version 1,620 kg Boost version. Trunk. 425 liters.

Active: 40 kilometers of electric range Boost: 90 kilometers of electric range Environmental distinctive. Zero emissions. Driving aids (ADAS). Mandatory by the European Union. Adaptive cruise control with lane keeping. The brand specifies 20 ADAS systems, including a 360º camera Electric hybrid. No. Plug-in Hybrid. Yeah.

Delivery of the first units in February 2026. Active: 28,200 euros without campaigns. Potential price with aid from the MOVES III Plan and discounts of 18,190 euros. Boost: 31,200 euros without campaigns. Potential price with aid from the MOVES III Plan and discounts of 20,190 euros. Price… and not only price It’s the elephant in the room. It is impossible to ignore that the BYD Atto 2 DM-i, the plug-in hybrid version, is convincing for its price. That’s why let’s put what we’re talking about into perspective. The BYD Atto 2 DM-i is sold in two versions which are inseparable from their equipment, so the package is closed. The entry-level version is called Active and comes with a maximum power of 122 kW (163 HP), 40 kilometers of autonomy and 3.6 kW alternating current charging. Just starting out, it has a 12.1-inch central screen, voice control of the infotainment system with wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, rear parking sensors, headlights with LED technology and four USB-C points. In addition to, obviously, all the safety aids mandated by the EU and systems such as adaptive cruise control with lane keeping. For its part, the Boost version comes with 156 kW of power (213 HP), 90 kilometers of autonomy and charges in alternating current at 6.6 kW power. To the previous equipment it adds a panoramic roof with electric sunshade, 360º camera with front and rear parking sensors, electric and heated front seats, heated steering wheel, 50W wireless mobile phone charging and bidirectional charging to charge external devices. These versions are sold at the following prices: Version RRP recommended Price with campaigns Price with moves III and scrap Price with moves IIi, scrapping and financing Activate (40 km autonomy) €28,200 €25,990 €20,990 €18,190 boost (90 km autonomy) €31,200 €29,990 €22,990 €20,190 These are prices that almost seem ridiculous. At the border of 30,000 euros from the start, the car has extensive equipment that the vast majority of cars at that price lack. With the aids applied (the version with 90 km of autonomy beats those relative to an electric car due to its wide range of kilometers), the price makes its rivals blush. To put some examplesa Seat Arona that lacks any type of hybridization sells between 20,000 and 25,000 euros. He Dacia Duster microhybrid, the cheapest with some electricity, is above 20,000 euros with equipment that pales next to the BYD Atto 2 DM-i. A 160 HP hybrid Renault Captur is starting to get very dangerously close to 30,000 euros. But none of these cars can lower their price somewhat with state aid. These are just a few examples but we could continue without problems. It is not only a matter of having a technology, plug-in hybridization, which promises to move on a daily basis for a very low cost (paying 0.15 euros/kWh, we are talking about traveling about 100 kilometers in the city for 2.70 euros), it is a question of materials, perceived quality and dynamics. The car features a 72 kW (96 HP) 1.5-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine that combines with a 145 kW (194 HP) electric motor to generate a maximum of 156 kW of power (213 HP) in the tested unit, the Boost. These two motors are part of what BYD calls Dual Motor, a system in which the combustion engine can directly drive the wheels or act as an electric generator that fills the battery and only the electric motor pushes the car. That has an advantage on paper. The combustion engine almost always operates at a specific speed, where it is more efficientgenerating electricity to the battery as happens in a Nissan QashqaiFor example. With the electric motor operating in most cases as the only motor, the feel of the car is that of an electric one, … Read more
