Is the AirTag 2 worth buying? Key differences from the first generation of Apple

by

Now that Apple has launched the new AirTag 2it is good to ask yourself if it is really worth buying it or staying in the first generation. Therefore, in this article we are going to review the key differences between AirTag and AirTag 2. AirTag 2 design and precision AirTag (left) and AirTag 2 (right). Broadly speaking, the design of the AirTag 2 is the same as the first generation AirTag, although there is a small difference that allows us to differentiate them when purchasing them: the silkscreen on the AirTag is in lower casewhile on the AirTag 2 it is capitalized. But if there is a significant change between both generations, it is related to the search, especially in precision. Specifically, the new generation offers a elderly precisionwhich means that it can be found from a greater distance (50% more). Additionally, Apple Watch support is added. There is also a increase in sound volume that we can reproduce to locate it quickly. Two very similar prices Although initially the first generation AirTag was launched at an official price of 35 euros, over time it has risen to reach 39 euros. However, some supplier stores tend to keep it on sale for long periods of time, as is the case with Amazon, which right now has it as 30.99 euros (one unit) or by 89.99 euros (four units). The price could vary. We earn commission from these links On the other hand, the AirTag 2 is not too far from what we currently see in the first generation, since it has officially been launched at a price of 35 euros (one unit) or 119 euros (four units), something that is attractive if we want to have the improvements of the AirTag 2 for a price similar to that of the AirTag, at least if we buy a single unit. The price could vary. We earn commission from these links Is it worth it? To assess whether it is really worth buying the AirTag 2, we can open three fronts. The first is if it is our first Apple locatorand in this case we may be interested in betting on the new, with the improvements that this entails, for a price very similar to that of the first generation. The second front is If we already have an AirTag. In this case, the differences really are not so great as to justify making the jump to the new generation, especially if the locator works perfectly. Finally, it may also be the case that you want buy the pack of four AirTag or AirTag 2. The new generation is also available in this pack at an official price of 119 eurosso if you want to have several Apple locators, it is worth opting for the previous generation pack, since its price is currently 89.99 euros.

Amazon Go and Amazon Fresh stores seemed like the future of commerce. Now they all close

by

Amazon has announced the definitive closure of its 57 Amazon Fresh stores and its 15 Amazon Go establishmentsending a decade of experiments to reinvent physical shopping. Fresh They were classic supermarkets, but with technological touches. Go They were stores without cashiers where you entered, took products and left: sensors and cameras charged you automatically. The only staff was the replacement staff. Why is it important. This is Amazon’s most visible failure in its attempt to move its e-commerce dominance to the physical world. A company that has made a success of selling everything online has not been able to sell basic products in physical stores while being profitable. The context. Go opened in 2018, Fresh in 2020. Both represented the futuristic vision of retail: cutting-edge technology, extreme automation and a clear obsession with eliminating friction. Amazon has admitted that it “has not created a distinctive customer experience with the right economic model.” An elegant way of saying that they have not found enough clients willing to pay the extra cost of all that innovation. Yes, but. Amazon is not abandoning the food sector. Now it’s going to convert some locations into Whole Foods, the chain he bought in 2017. Whole Foods has more than 550 stores, has grown 40% in sales and will open one hundred new stores. In addition, Amazon is also already delivering food at home in 5,000 cities in the United States. Between the lines. These closures say a lot about the impressive technology that these stores had: not even it can compensate for a mediocre proposal. Amazon Go eliminated queues, but perhaps that did not solve much if its real competitors did not have a problem there. Of course, “Just Walk Out” technology now operates in 360 third-party stores and more than 40 Amazon fulfillment centers. As is often the case, innovation survives where it makes economic sense. The failure of Go and Fresh was seen coming for a long time. The pattern. History repeats itself. Amazon has closed physical bookstores, stores pop-up and now also these concepts. Each closing tells the same story: mastering online does not make you a good offline seller. Especially if you aim for profitability. Bezos built his empire by eliminating intermediaries and friction at Amazon, but the physical supermarket has friction for a few reasons: people want to touch the fruit, compare products, decide on the fly… Human behavior cannot always be improved by algorithmic efficiency. Go deeper. The failure contrasts with that of other technological giants that in one way or another have managed to dominate the retail. Apple dominates its stores because it sells an experience, not just its products. And Tesla controls its points of sale because the electric car requires a certain evangelization. Amazon tried to apply its e-commerce formula (full automation, speed, elimination of staff) to a business that simply has other dynamics. A supermarket is not a logistics warehouse. And not even an entire Amazon, with all its resources, can impose its vision of the future if the customer does not buy it.

the cloud will have a neighborhood version

by

Telefónica has deployed a network of 17 mini data centers in Spain that changes the architecture of cloud computing. Instead of sending information via submarine cable to a server in Virginia for processing there, the data stays in your city, possibly in your neighborhood. Why is it important. This infrastructure edge computing brings computing, storage and AI capacity to the end user. It reduces latency and keeps data under local jurisdiction, two critical requirements for applications that require immediate response or have some regulatory sensitivity. The panoramic. The telecom has already activated ten nodes in cities such as Madrid, Barcelona, ​​Seville and Bilbao, and will add another seven before June. In a period of five to seven years it could reach a hundred locations, all of them taking advantage of telephone exchanges that are no longer in use. copper quenching after 140 years. Each node has between 1 and 2 megawatts of power and is equipped with NVIDIA accelerators for AI inference. The network adds 3 MW added starting, expandable according to commercial demand. The context. European telecoms are desperately seeking new business models in the face of the ‘commoditization’ of connectivity. Telefónica has found a way to turn legacy infrastructure into a new product to sell. After all, their plants already have electricity, fiber and a direct connection to the 5G core. The project received 93 million euros of European funds. Orange, Deutsche Telekom, Telecom Italia and 4iG already deploy similar networks in their countries: France, Germany, Italy and Hungary respectively. What is happening. Telefónica does not compete against AWS, Azure or Google Cloud. Their commitment is complementary: solving use cases that large cloud providers do not serve at all well because they require processing alongside the user. In fact, it negotiates with those same hyperscalers to offer their services over this distributed network. The objective is to combine connectivity, security and computing in a kind of ‘premium offer’ for those who need ultra-low latency. In detail. Low latency is key in usage applications that do not support delays: Real-time video analysis. Management of drones or autonomous fleets. Digital twins industrial. Assisted or autonomous driving. Medical image processing. Yes, but. The question is whether there is enough commercial demand to make one hundred mini-centers profitable. Many applications operate perfectly with the latency of a classic data center. The success of the model depends on many great use cases that require that ultra-low latency coming to fruition. The autonomous car would be the most obvious, but its real deployment in Spain has not yet gone beyond a green shoot. And now what. Commercial services will start shortly after the testing phase with clients. The real test will come when we see if companies and institutions are willing to pay a premium for that ultra-low latency. If it works, Telefónica will have found an ingenious second life for assets that seemed destined for scrapping or Idealista. If not, it will be another failed experiment by telcos to escape the data pipeline business.

The Zapotecs have been fascinating archaeologists for years. A 1,400-year-old tomb in Mexico has revealed how they viewed death

by

“It is the most relevant archaeological discovery of the last decade in Mexico.” Who is speaking It is Claudia Sheinbaum, president of the country, and although it is not unusual for authorities to resort to superlatives when presenting historical findings, in this case the enthusiasm of the Mexican leader seems more than justified. After all, it is not every day that we find jewels like the one that the INAH just located in the Central Valleys of Oaxaca: a tomb from 1,400 years ago that promises to reveal new secrets about one of the most fascinating pre-Hispanic cultures of pre-Hispanic Mesoamerica. Who is it? The Zapotecs. What has happened? That Mexico has shown (one more time) that still hides first-class archaeological treasures. Your Government has just announced the discovery of a 14-century-old tomb decorated with exceptional paintings and sculptures in the south of the country, in San Pablo HuitzoOaxaca. There the National Institute of Anthropology and History of Mexico (INAH) has documented a Zapotec tomb dated around the year 600 AD, a large and ornate mausoleum that stands out for its good level of conservation. Its structure and sculptures are so well preserved, in fact, that experts hope they will shed new light on the civilization that erected it. Is it so relevant? Yes. Perhaps the best proof is that the Mexican authorities have not spared congratulations and flattery when referring to the discovery, which the president herself has been in charge of presenting. “We are very proud of the most relevant archaeological discovery of the last decade in our country,” he said. claim Sheinbaum on social networks. Similar words have been used by the Secretary of Culture, Claudia Curielthat has emphasized that same idea: it is not just that the Oaxaca tomb is spacious or rich in decoration, it is that a good part of its structure has managed to remain intact for 1,400 years, so today it offers a valuable ‘historical window’ to historians dedicated to the study of the Zapotec civilization. “This is an exceptional discovery due to its level of conservation and what it shows about the Zapotec culture: its social organization, its funerary rituals and its worldview, preserved in architecture and painting.” What does the tomb show? A combination of murals and sculptures surprising. At the entrance to the antechamber we find a sculpted owl, an image that in the worldview of its pre-Hispanic creators symbolized night and death. The figure is fascinating because its beak hides another surprise: the stuccoed and painted face of a Zapotec lord. Because of this position it stands out, right at the entrance to the mausoleum, archaeologists suspect that it could be a portrait of the ancestor to whom the tomb was dedicated and to whom his descendants turned as an intercessor before the gods. Is there more? Yes. As we move forward we find a decorated lintel with a frieze made up of stone tombstones engraved with “calendrical names”. If we look towards the jambs, another surprise: the figures of a man and a woman dressed in headdresses. Once again, their position has led archaeologists to speculate on their possible role, which in this case would be that of guardians. Already inside the funerary chamber, the walls preserve parts of “an extraordinary mural painting” with ocher, white, green, red and blue colors. In them, their authors portrayed a procession of characters with bags of copal. What do we know about the tomb? Researchers will have to continue studying it to understand it better, but they already have some clues. For example, the dating: they believe that the tomb dates from the late Classic period, around the year 600. They have also come to the conclusion that its sculptures and mural evoke “symbolic representations associated with power and death.” Now it is their turn to continue deciphering its iconography and (just as important) to advance conservation efforts. INAH himself explains that its experts are working to stabilize the mural, which is in a “delicate” state after 14 long centuries exposed to changes in time and the advance of roots and insects. Who were the Zapotecs? If the tomb has generated so much expectation, it is not only because of its good general state of conservation. The tomb is also valuable because it opens a new window to the Zapotecsa pre-Hispanic civilization from Mesoamerica that called themselves Binniza (“people who come from the clouds.” As remember the Mexican Archeology platform, constitute the oldest group in the Oaxacan region and since at least 1400 BC they mainly inhabited the Central Valleys and their surroundings. Its peak was reached between the 4th and 10th centuries AD, with its settlement of Monte Albán standing out above all, one of the most relevant cities in Mesoamerica at its time. It is estimated that it hosted some 35,000 people. The region has such relevant historical and heritage value that in 1987 UNESCO declared the historic center of Oaxaca and Monte Albán as a world heritage site. In recent decades, archaeologists they had already found Zapotec tombs.

What is it, what do you need, how to do it and what are the penalties for not having it?

by

Let’s tell you what it is and the new mandatory registration of electric scooters or VMP, a new norm with which the Government of Spain intends to begin to control those who circulate on our streets. This is a rule for all owners of Personal Mobility Vehicles, and failure to comply with it can result in penalties of up to 800 euros. In addition to registering scooters, these vehicles They must have mandatory insurance of civil liability. With this, the aim is to protect users and possible victims of accidents, making the world of electric scooters finally begin to be regularized. Who is affected by this rule? This new norm affects all electric scooter driversboth those that are considered light personal vehicles and those that are motor vehicles. These are the minimum characteristics from which your scooter will be affected. Scooters weighing more than 25 kilos. Scooters whose speed exceed 14 km/h. From 2024, only scooters of this type can be marketed. If you have a different scooter, then you will only be able to continue riding with it until the January 22, 2027. From then on How to register your electric scooter To register your electric scooter you will have two methods. First you have the possibility of doing it on the official website of the DGT, whose address is headquarters.dgt.gob.es. You can also call the toll-free number 060where you will be helped with the registration process. When registering your scooter, These are the data that you are going to have to provide: Owner details: You will have to give your personal information, and if it is a minor, those of their legal guardian. Certificate and serial number: Your scooter has a serial number and certificate number, as unique identifiers, and this is what you will have to provide. Technical sheet: You will have to submit the characteristics of the vehicle with its technical sheet. Pay the fee: The amount has not yet been specified, but you will have to pay an administrative fee. From January 22, 2024, only VMPs that have this type of license can be sold. circulation certificate. These have a unique and permanent factory marking, which is what identifies your electric scooter, like an identity card. If you have a VMP that does not have a circulation certificateyou can continue using it until January 22, 2027but after this date you will no longer be able to circulate with them. That is, until then you must also register them and obtain mandatory insurance. When you register your scooter you can acquire a vital item an identification label that you will always have to carry in the VMPin the identifier holder designated for this purpose that your electric scooter will have. Come on, this label always has to be on the skate. You also need insurance Just registering your scooter is not enough. You also need take out compulsory civil liability insurance. Thus, in the event that there is an accident, both you as the user and the other person who may have been injured will be protected by it. Here, it will be your responsibility to choose the insurer you want and proceed to contract this civil liability insurance. If you don’t comply there will be a fine If your scooter is not registered, identified and you do not have the mandatory insurance, the same as would happen with a car or motorcycle, you will have a fine of between 202 and 800 euros. The amount of the fine will depend on the type of violation. In Xataka Basics | DGT map: how to use it to see ALL traffic incidents on Spanish roads in real time

that China approves the purchase of its H200 chips

by

China has given the green light for the first time to the purchase of NVIDIA’s H200 chips for AI, which has allowed several of the country’s main technology companies to import these semiconductors. We had been waiting for a few weeks for Beijing to comment on the matter, since NVIDIA was multiplying its chip production to be prepared for this moment. Although there are some rules that companies must follow. The decision. According to account Reuters, ByteDance, Alibaba and Tencent have received authorization to acquire more than 400,000 H200 chips in total, an operation valued at approximately $10 billion. More Chinese companies are expected to receive the go-ahead in the coming weeks, although specific conditions have not yet been detailed. Visiting. The authorization comes during NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang’s visit to China this week. Huang has toured Shanghai, Beijing and Shenzhen on his traditional annual trip ahead of the Lunar New Year celebrations. However, according to account the Wall Street Journal, has not met with senior Chinese officials. Why is it important. The approval breaks a stalemate that has lasted for months. In April, the United States initially banned the sale of H20 chips to China, a less powerful version that NVIDIA had designed specifically for the Chinese market. Although Washington turned back with the H20, Beijing then told companies not to buy themalleging cybersecurity issues that NVIDIA denied. After a meeting between Trump and Xi Jinping In South Korea last October, the United States authorized the export of the H200, a significantly more powerful chip. Now, China is doing its part by approving the import of these chips into the country. The Beijing dilemma. The issue is that China was preparing for a world completely independent of American technology, so after approval it dances in a delicate balance. On the one hand, Beijing wants its best AI developers to be able to build new models and applications quickly, something that NVIDIA chips would greatly facilitate. On the other hand, it has been cultivating a self-sufficient semiconductor industry for years. Although according to account WSJ, the country has encountered resistance especially from private sector companies accustomed to using NVIDIA software products and tools. The conditions of the agreement. According to Reutersthe approvals include restrictions that are still being defined. But what is known is that Chinese companies that want to buy American chips have had to submit documents to authorities explaining how they plan to use them. The country’s authorities have indicated that any purchase must be for uses considered necessary, such as advanced research and development in AI, according to inform WSJ. Some companies have also included plans to purchase chips made in China in their agreements, as authorities require companies to use locally produced semiconductors for some AI training tasks and most inference-related workloads. btechnological right. The H200 represents a significant qualitative leap, exceeding the performance of the H20 by approximately six times. Although Chinese companies like Huawei now they have products which rival the performance of the H20, they are still far behind the H200. And in order not to be left behind in the AI ​​race, large Chinese technology companies have lined up to order more than two million H200 chips, far exceeding NVIDIA’s available inventory. Impact. NVIDIA had seen its share of AI chips in the Chinese market fall from 95% to virtually zero as it awaited actions from both governments, according to declared Huang in October. Meanwhile, Chinese companies have tried fill that void using a large number of lower power chips to increase processing capacity. And now what. According to account WSJ, Huang is soon scheduled to travel to Taiwan, also part of his annual routine, where he is expected to speak with suppliers about manufacturing more H200 chips to feed demand in China. After the October trade truce between the US and China, it seems that the waters have calmed down, at least on the surface.

Germany does not want to depend on Elon Musk for war. So the largest weapons factory in Europe wants a “military Starlink”

by

For decades, European security has rested on critical infrastructure controlled from the United States. But with the war back on the continent and space communications becoming a decisive military assetGermany is beginning to assume that it cannot afford depend on Elon Musk nor from Washington for something as basic as talking and fighting in case of conflict. A “military Starlink”. Rheinmetall and OHB are in preliminary talks to present a joint offer to create a satellite communications network in low orbit for the Bundeswehr, a system that in Berlin already is openly described as a “Starlink for the German army”. The initiative aims to capture part of the ambitious German plan for invest 35,000 million euros in military space technology, with the aim of providing a secure, sovereign infrastructure specifically designed for military use, reducing dependence on US services such as Starlink, owned by SpaceX. Technological sovereignty. The background of the project will be one of the great themes of this 2026, and it is both strategic and political, since the war in Ukraine has shown to what extent satellite communications in low orbit can be decisive when terrestrial networks are destroyed or degraded. Although Starlink (and its military version Starshield) became in a key asset for kyiv, many European countries distrust to base critical capabilities on a foreign private provider, which has accelerated plans to build national or European networks under state control. The weight of Germany. With this program, Germany aims to become the third largest investor world in space technology, only behind the United States and China, according to the consulting firm Novaspace. German military authorities have already defined the technical specifications and are preparing the tender, prioritizing coverage of NATO’s eastern flank, where Berlin deploys a permanent brigade of 5,000 soldiers in Lithuania as part of its defensive reinforcement. From armored to space. Traditionally associated with tanks, artillery and ammunitionRheinmetall is rapidly expanding its presence into new domains in the heat of German rearmament. At the end of last year it obtained its first major space contract, up to 2,000 million eurosto develop together with Iceye a constellation of radar satellites capable of operating at night and in bad weatherwhich puts it in a solid position to now aspire to a military communications system in low orbit. HBO and opportunity. For HBOthird largest European satellite manufacturer and navigation system supplier Galileothe project represents a key opportunity to strengthen its military business. The company faces the possible creation of a European space giant as a result of the merger of the divisions from Airbus, Thales and Leonardoan operation that its CEO considers potentially anti-competitive and that could leave OHB at a disadvantage if it does not expand its scale and capabilities. Boiling market. The simple announcement of the talks has OHB price skyrocketedreflecting the extent to which the sector perceives German military space spending as a catalyst for opportunity. That said, the project is still in an early phase, with no official comments from the companies or the Ministry of Defense, and is part of a growing competition for multi-million dollar contracts that will define who controls future critical military communications infrastructure in Europe.

Galicia has proposed to put an end to the “zamburiñas fraud” once and for all. So he’s already issuing fines

by

The Spanish proverb warns about not being given a “cat in a hare”, but the most common deception when we talk about Spanish gastronomy of the 21st century is that they serve you a plate of volandeiras or Pacific scallops as if they were exclusive (and much more expensive) Galician zamburiñas. To an untrained eye the three bilvaves (volandeiras, scallops and scallops) are more or less similar to each other. The problem is that they are not the same and mixing their names violates regulations, represents unfair competition and (most seriously) deceives the client. That’s why in Galicia they have said enough. What has happened? That the Galician authorities they have gotten tired that in the community’s restaurants and bars they play with names, selling as “zamburiñas” dishes that actually contain two other species: volandeiras or Pacific scallops. It’s not just about passing off one thing as another. It is that, beyond the fact that the three are similar bivalves, their consideration it’s not the same. They do not match their prices. Nor its origin. Nor is its flavor exactly the same. Volandeiras and zamburiñas are shellfished in Galician banks (although with certain differences) and are usually sold fresh. The Pacific scallop is normally a frozen product that comes from aquaculture and arrives from Peru and Chile. Photos showing the exterior and interior of the right valve. Image A) corresponds to the “Mimachlamys varia” (zamburiña); B with Argopecten Purpuratus (Pacific scallop) and C with Aequipecten Opercularis (volandeira). And what have they done? Basically what the Galician authorities have done is investigate Yes, when a customer orders a portion of seafood in a bar in A Coruña, Vilagarcía, Ourense, Lugo… or any other Galician town, they are being served what they have ordered and not another product of more or less similar appearance. It’s not exactly something new. In September the local press has already advanced that the Xunta was carrying out an inspection campaign and that during the control they had found bars in which the menus advertised scallops when in reality what was served on the table were scallops or (sometimes) volandeiras. Has it stayed there? No. And that is the great news. The Voice just revealed that the controls carried out by the Resource Inspection and Control Service (SICOR) and Consumer Affairs officials have not been mere slaps on the wrist. They have also resulted in sanctions and fines. To be more precise, the newspaper speaks of the processing of just over 100 disciplinary proceedings since last summer for the use of incorrect commercial names: 53 to hospitality businesses in the province of A Coruña, 46 from Pontevedra, 14 from Lugo and 6 from Ourense. Among the ‘hunted’ there are not only bars, taverns and restaurants. There are also a few intermediaries. How much did it cost you? The Voice appointment at least one case in which the hotelier received a fine of 300 euros for advertising volandeiras and then serving scallops. The Xunta claims that before resorting to fines, a campaign was launched to remind professionals that they cannot mix terms and that a “deterrent effect” was even perceived, with hoteliers correcting their letters. Not even that has prevented there from being a hundred businesses with files. What is the problem? Basically, passing off one seafood as another (mixing commercial names) “violates traceability standards and can mislead the consumer,” the Xunta specifies. Not only does it confuse data related to traceability, but it goes against sales regulations and represents unfair competition against businesses that do respect the regulations. In fact, the problem is not limited to the zamburiñas alone. Are there more cases? That’s how it is. The majority of the files processed in Galicia are related to scallops, scallops and volanderias, but the inspectors also hunted down infractions that affect other merchandise. For example, passing off octopuses and barnacles as Galician seafood when in reality it comes from Moroccan waters. Agents also found cases in the food chain where farmed salmon and turbot were sold as wild. The Department of the Sea assures that there is no specific campaign and that the files are the result of “ordinary control work.” Regarding the sanctions, since these are minor infractions, the fines can reach 300 euros, although they remain at half (150 euros) if the offender meets certain requirements. Is there that much difference? Yes. Although in the hospitality industry we usually talk about “zamburiñas” in general, that word is reserved for a very specific species: Mimachlamys variaa sought-after bivalve appreciated for its flavor. The ‘Pesca de Galicia’ platform detailed on Monday the 26th that the kilo was priced in the markets at an average of 13.4 eurosfar above the volandeira (Aequipecten opercularis), which is also collected in Galicia, although it is more abundant. Things change when we talk about the Pacific scallop (Argopecten purpuratus), which is usually the result of aquaculture, is frozen and arrives from the coasts of Peru and Chile. The problem is that all three (scallops, scallops and scallops) are relatively similar, at least if you don’t have a trained eye. If the characteristics of their shells are known, it is easier to identify them. Does it only happen in Galicia? In 2020, a team from the University of Oviedo carried out a study which proved two things. First, the frequency with which the word Zamburiña is used “incorrectly” to refer to other species. Second, that “there exists widespread fraud in its commercialization in Asturias”. Your data is certainly compelling. After analyzing 148 different samples, they found that in 49% of the cases (73) the seafood was incorrectly labeled, presenting other bivalves, usually volandeiras, as scallops. How common is it? To complete their analysis, researchers from the University of Oviedo went to 20 restaurants and ordered dishes that were identified on the menu as “zamburiñas.” They were left wanting to taste them. “In 100% of the cases the species offered was the Pacific scallop,” reveals. The organization remembers that although there may not … Read more
