We expected a storm this Friday in the northwest, what we did not expect is that it was so strong

by

The synopsis was clear: intense rainfall They were back To the Levante and the southeast of the Peninsula, but they were not going to last too much. However, Aemet It began to point out the possibility that, then, Another storm arrives For the Atlantic. What has changed in the last hours is that The “extreme traffic lights” just jump: Everything seems to indicate that what is going to arrive is a high impact storm that will bring extremely scrambled time. What will happen? At the atmospheric level, this storm will be developed this Friday and will begin to enter the west peninsular. On Saturday 8 we will see how a very active front will put all the predictions up. The key will be that, despite not being an atmospheric river, it is true that winds (Ábregos) will have a southern component and will be warmer even if they come loaded with moisture. That will boost storm. And at a practical level? Three things: bad sea, intense wind and many rainfall. We talk about wind gusts between 50 and 80 kilometers per hour. With hurricane winds in the country’s high areas. We will also see accumulated “abundant and persistent“With up to 150 liters per square meter throughout the western zone of the Peninsula. In addition, although as a consequence of the temperature rise the snow level will rise, the high areas can receive a good amount. But we have to talk about something else. Yes, it is true that everything indicates that a high impact storm will come (one that, presumably, will be called Jana), but that is not the big problem. The big problem is that it has been raining many days and the ability of the Earth to absorb water will not be very high. That means we will see floods and overflows in many zoans of the country. Something that, As Martín León points outit will become even more worrying when the following storms (which can arrive By the blocking anticyclone of northern Europe that is sending it to us) continue to take rain to already wet areas. And what was that “extreme traffic lights”? It is a way to call EFI (Extreme Forecast Index), the ECMWF model index that measures the rarity of a phenomenon. Well, EFI values ​​for March 8 They will be at maximum And that means that, whatever, this Saturday will be a very adverse day.

Chema Alonso Abandon Telefónica. The wreck of the pirate that made an admiral

by

The announcement of the departure of Chema Alonso de Telefónica, advanced by Adslzone just before Mobile World Congress and already confirmed by Alonso in A video posted in your LinkedInmarks the end of a unique journey. The hacker turned into a senior executive leaves behind A wake as peculiar as his outfitbetween recognizable achievements and promises that remained on the horizon. Telefónica has also made this departure official In your official blog: The Board of Directors thanked Chema Alonso, to date Chief Digital Officer, its great impulse to the digital transformation of Telefónica during the last 13 years, as well as its leadership in the execution of the company’s Data-Centric platforms and the creation of the new relationship ecosystem with the industry and OpenGateway in its last stage. Chema Alonso will support Sebas Muriel with her technological advice in the transition. When Alonso entered Telefónica in 2012, after the purchase of his company Computer science 64 (then renamed Elevenpaths)it represented something unpublished: a technical root profile, away from the traditional MBA, ascending to the dome of a conservative multinational. His Appointment as Chief Data Officer In 2016 by José María Álvarez-Pallete, he symbolized the will to change in a mega-enterprise that needed to modernize desperately. Pallete was looking for insufflate an air of innovation in the Gray Ibex-35and for this he opted for a disruptive character even in his aesthetics. With his unmistakable blue hat and his scooter, Alonso broke the schemes of the traditional executive. His speech, full of anglicisms and references to digital transformation, intended to mark a before and after in the corporate culture of the operator. During his decade in The Great T.Alonso became the most recognizable public face of Telefónica’s digital transformation, Much more than any other manager except the president himself. He starred advertising campaigns and was the face of the teleco in corporate ads, such as An agreement with Microsoft. Image: Telefónica. Its undeniable communicative capacity (He came to have fun to El Hormiguero) and his technical domain allowed him to make bridge between two worlds usually disconnected: the technological avant -garde and the traditional telecommunications business. In his favor we must count initiatives such as the Global Data Unit, the development of Aura as virtual assistant – another singing is its implementation – and especially its role in the creation of the Telefónica Privacy Center, which advanced many of the concerns that the European RGPD. However, the deep transformation that promised its signing never materialized with the expected speed or range. Its main projects, announced with grandiloquence, translated into commercial results more modest than expected. Large projects, small results Alonso’s trajectory on Telefónica was defined by a series of ambitious initiatives that never reached the expectations generated. With three great examples: The fourth platform In 2016, Telefónica surprised the technological world when she announced her intention to create a system where Giants such as Google, Facebook or WhatsApp should consider the value of the operator’s clients data. The proposal, led by Alonso, proposed to create a mechanism where each user could decide whether he shared his personal information for free or if he demanded compensation. The announcement generated immediate headlines, but two years later, The so -called “Fourth Platform” – A Big Data infrastructure that should support this revolution – failed to materialize that initial vision. The project consumed important technical and financial resources of the company, but did not transform the relationship between operators and digital platforms as announced. Aura, the assistant who failed to connect In February 2018, Telefónica presented with great media deployment its response to Siri, Alexao or the Google assistant: Auraa virtual assistant with the launched simultaneously in six countries: Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Germany, Spain and the United Kingdom. Alonso personally headed the presentation of this technology that promised to revolutionize the interaction of users with the operator’s services. Chema Alonso during the presentation of Aura with Hololens. Image: Telefónica. To promote the adoption of the service, Telefónica invested in An expensive advertising campaign starring parish parrots that flooded televisions and advertising fences for months. Despite this investment in marketing, Aura did not achieve expected traction among usersbecoming a tool used by a minimum fraction of the huge customer base of the operator. Movistar Home, the device without a market The next step in the digital strategy was to make something tangible. Movistar Homepresented in 2018, it was a physical device that combined touch screen and smart speakers with integrated aura. Among its functionalities was the possibility of making video calls (outside the usual platforms for it) or controlling the smart bulbs of the house (also outside the most used protocols). Marketed at 79 euros, the device entered a market already dominated by the Amazon Echo and the Google Home, but with the disadvantage of offering a much more limited ecosystem and dependent on the Movistar universe, Meager in possibilities compared to Google or Amazon ecosystems. The Movistar Home. Image: Xataka. The value proposal was not convincing for consumers, who did not see reason to acquire a device whose functions could perform with the smartphone they already possessed. Or with the command of TV. His journey was very scarce. The Teleco tried to boost sales with several strategies, including increasingly aggressive promotions for customers and several media appearances. Particularly notable was the participation of Rafa Nadal, stellar figure of the sponsorship of Telefónica, promoting the device in the Andreu Buenafuente program. Not to mention a disturbing Spot Together with the then cyclists of the Movistar team, co -starring Alonso himself. However, not even the support of the best Spanish athlete in history or the great cyclists of the moment managed to arouse any interest in Movistar Home. The last thing we know about the project is that a year ago he announced his return … in the form of an app. Open Gateway: The most recent bet In the Mobile World Congress of 2023, when Alonso’s innovative cycle gave symptoms of being exhausted, Telefónica presented Open … Read more

You can only get with sacrifices

by

We have been dreaming of a fantasy for years that Does not finish complying: That folding mobiles fall in price. Generation after generation we are seeing a trend rather on the contrary: they are increasingly expensive and exclusive, aimed at a premium audience. As in almost all sectors, Chinese manufacturers have had to arrive to reverse the situation: there is a clear wave of folding phones from China to offer alternatives. As long as we are willing to deal with the sacrifices that this entails. The price of current folding. Buying a folding mobile, in the event that we want one of the book type, is still available to very few. A Samsung Galaxy Z fold6 exceeds 2,000 euros, Magic v Honor around the same figure, and 1,999 euros Ask Huawei for his mate x6. A cheaper solution are Flip folding, with 1,200 euros for Z flip61,299 euros for the Xiaomi Mix Flipand 899 euros / 1,199 euros for Motorola folding. As always on Android, these are the starting prices and, a few months later, we can buy these much cheaper phones. Despite this, the tonic is clear: the folding ones have the price of a high range, even with specifications below. The Chinese war. Zte put the first stone. The company launched its Nubia Flip For 599 euros, a price quite below (practically half) of what these phones usually have. This figure has risen with the Nubia Flip 2which part of 699 euros. It is still much more “cheap” than its direct rivals. The key? Bet on mid -range specifications, maintaining a flexible panel. And there is no other left: if we want folding phones to be cheaper, you have to cut Specs. It is something we saw in the Mobile World Congress with Doogee, a Chinese manufacturer specialized in economic mobiles. This one that you see above is your V Flip, a processor phone Helio G99 (Mobile chip of about 100 euros), although with 8 + 256 GB of memory, 100 megapixel camera, 4,500mAh battery (with 18W, yes) and an AMOLED Full HD + screen of 6.9 inches next to an external 1.9 “. The company expects a price of about 399 euros for this phone, although it will be confirmed according to markets. They were not alone: ​​brands like Tecno sell their Phantom V2 Flip for $ 600 outside the European market, and companies like Frog Mobile (yes, as it sounds) also had a flip with the helium G99. We continue from folding as a mainstream device. Foldables continue to assume less than 1% of the total mobile devices sold in the world. With these numbers, and despite the effort of the manufacturers, we have serious doubts about the potential of this format to become a regular.

Sky Shield and its 120 combat planes

by

On that chess board that has become the Ukraine conflict into geopolitical key, it touches it, and how, to move to Europe. After the United States decision of cut military support (including intelligence) to Ukraine against Russian aggression, the old continent He has talked about “Rearme”but in the last hours a plan that It started in 2022 and that has never come to materialize. In essence, Europe seeks to activate a shield in the sky. Shield the Ukrainian sky. The current situation in Ukraine has led several military experts to present an update of the Sky Shield Planan air defense initiative led by Europe that seeks display 120 combat planes to protect Kyiv and the west of the country. Unlike NATO’s direct intervention, this proposal would work independently and be aimed at stopping Russian missile attacks and drones, without involving the battle front or east of Ukraine. In this way, the implementation of the protection system would cover critical infrastructure, such as the three operational nuclear plants of Ukraine, as well as the strategic cities of Odessa and Lviv. According to A recent report That has been made public, the strategy could be more effective in military, political and socio -economic terms than the deployment of 10,000 European soldiers on the field. What is Sky Shield. Originally known as European Sky Shield Initiative (ESSI)it is an ambitious antimile defense system plan that seeks to create a protective shield on the continent, one Similar to Iron Dome Israeli. Founded in 2022 after the Russian invasion of Ukraine, it currently has 21 member countries, including the United Kingdom, Netherlands, Poland, Greece and Finland, which have agreed to cooperate in the acquisition, maintenance and use of defense systems. The idea has always been for the project to be integrated into the pre -existing Missions of NATO, always as a objective to protect the allied territory against aerial threats and missile attacks. In fact, its design contemplates three levels of defense: Short range (up to 15 km away and 6 km altitude) Half range (15-50 km away and up to 25 km altitude) Long range (more than 50 km away and up to 35 km altitude) Sky Shield’s key components. Originally, the plan combines various defense technologies Air from different manufacturers, both European and American. First, the Arrow 3 system long -range developed jointly by Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) and Boeing (United States). Its characteristics: intercept long -range ballistic missiles before they reach their target, operated totally automatically and designed to intercept threats to great altitude and hundreds of kilometers away. Then you have the Skyranger System 30 short -range developed by Germany. It is a defense turret, a mobile system that detects and neutralizes air and land threats. The third leg is the Missile Earth-Aire Iris-T-SLM half range. Manufactured by Diehl Defense (Germany), it uses infrared technology to intercept attacks and, in fact, Ukraine has used this system since 2022, which has demonstrated its effectiveness in combat. Finally, The well -known patriot long range. Developed by Raytheon, it is a system widely used in Europe, so much that NATO signed a contract for 5.6 billion euros to acquire 1,000 Patriot missiles shared between Germany, Netherlands, Romania and Spain. Resurgence of the plan. And so we get to this week. Although the idea of ​​an aerial exclusion zone has been discussed since the Russian invasion, until now concrete progress has been made. However, the recent tense meeting between Ukrainian President Zelenskyy and his American counterpart has caused a turn in the European position. The Interruption of military aid flow and the restriction of Intelligence exchange On the part of the United States they have forced Europe to take a more active role in the defense of Ukraine and in the construction of long -term security guarantees. The Guardian told that among the main drivers of Sky Shield High profile figures in European defense are found, such as Philip Breedlove, a supreme excomandant of NATO in Europe, Sir Richard Shirreff, former general of the British and former deputy army of NATO, and Aleksander Kwaśniewski, former president of Poland. The former Foreign Minister of Lithuania, Gabrielius Landsbergis, has also joined that this plan represents an essential step for Europe to assume a leadership role in Ukrainian security. Risk of climbing and challenges. Yes ok The proposal It has been presented to various European defense ministries, so far there has been no clear response to authorize aerial patrols about Ukraine. The main concern in the West lies in the risk of climbing from the conflict to something much larger, since the deployment of European combat aircraft could result in direct confrontations with Russia if any aircraft were demolished. However, Plan defenders argue that the risk is minimal, since Moscow has avoided operating combat planes beyond the front line Since the beginning of 2022, which would maintain a distance of separation greater than 200 kilometers between European fighters and Russian forces. In that sense, the plan would not only reinforce the air security of Ukraine, but also would decongest your defense systems Antialea, currently overloaded and armament dependent manufactured in the United States such as Patriot interceptors, whose refueling has been suspended after the new restrictions of the White House. Reinforce the Ukrainian defense. The urgency of a Solution as Sky Shield It becomes evident with the recent Russian attacks. An example: in just one day, Russia launched 181 drones and four missileswhich, although they were mostly intercepted, caused the death of at least one person in Odesa and damaged infrastructure in the region. Ukraine has responded with long -range attacks through ATACMS missiles Americans and Storm Shadow Anglo-Frenchhitting objectives in Russian territory, including military refineries and facilities. Attacks and defenses that will become impossible over time without the help of the United States. Guarantee security (world). So things, with American support in question And a conflict that does not give signs of resolving soon, Europe faces the need to assume a more decisive role in the … Read more

Telefónica is 100 years old but it is now when you have to decide what you want to be older. Is facing its greatest existential dilemma

by

Few companies become hundred. Of those who achieve it, few have survived as many transformations as Telefónica. Founded when the phone was a luxury, a civil war, world war, dictatorships, democracies, republics and monarchies, privatizations, technological bubbles and digital revolutions has lived. But He has never faced a crossroads as existential as the current: Define your identity for the next century. He Mobile World Congress 2025 It has been the scenario where Marc Murtra, in his first months as president, has presented his vision for Teleco. A stand of almost a square kilometer encapsulated this Identity search. The Valencian artisanal spheres that decorated the space – a beautiful wink four months after the Dana tragedy – represented something halfway between tradition and modernity. A Perfect metaphor of a company trapped between two worlds: The conventional teleco that is seeing how its margins are eroded, and the technology company in which it aspires to become. Above, Valencian artisan spheres connected to the failed world to decorate the stand. Below, the Autonomous Drone connected by 5G that starred in a part of the MWC of the Teleco. The metaphor of the two worlds among which Telefónica trapped: tradition (the pure telecation business) and modernity (the technological company in which it seeks to become). Image: Telefónica. An operator in a hostile world The European context does not help. While the United States has three main operators for 335 million people, Europe has 34 for 450 million. This fragmentation, praised by regulators as a low price guarantor, has created an ecosystem where no operator has the critical mass to compete globally. Murtra was not subtle in Barcelona with Your Opening Speech: “It is time for large European telecommunications companies to consolidate and grow to create technological capacity.” A warning: “Europe’s position in the world will continue to decide and will not have the capacity to decide its future autonomously.” What until recently was a business debate has now climbed to geopolitical matter. The new president draws the battle with a sports metaphor: “We operate in a fragmented market, it’s like playing football with a hand tied behind our backs. If we unleash our hands, we will mark a few goals.” A GRADE OF Aid Shared by the CEOs of Vodafone, Orange and Deutsche Telekom, who joined the choir In Barcelona with an unusual voice. Pallete left a perfect paradox on the table: He reduced the debt in half (from 53,000 million to less than 29,000) while the stock value collapsed 57%. The equation is clear: Financial sanitation is no longer enough to seduce markets. The investment seeks growth stories, not survival. And that is where the technological jacket feels better than that of Teleco. And for her they go. The MWC as a declaration of intentions The demos that Telefónica presented in Barcelona are the anticipation of their future bets. It is no longer limited to talking about connectivity, but goes into more complex territories: Autonomous drones integrated with Open Gateway APIS, Security in the face of quantum computing challengesand its digital operations center for cybersecurity. It is striking that the Teleco did not simply show its 5G network, but the applications that can be built on it. Your demo drones He showed cases of health, environmental and logistics use. An effort to be in the value chain beyond the “tube” of data is appreciated. Beyond the dreaded Commoditization. The presentation of its technology Quantum-Safe Networks He anticipates threats that have not even arrived yet, but they will do it when quantum computing is more present than future. The announcement of an excellence center in this field, although without detailing investment or template Xataka On this matter, it shows its intention to become a strategic security provider. Enrique Blanco, outgoing Ctio after four decades in the company, has indicated that they have been working in this field for a decade, conducting limited tests in areas such as Madrid or Vizcaya. But perhaps the most important bet is Open Gateway. Chema Alonso, visible face of digital transformation (although An uncertain future), has presented Agreements with Tiktok, Cabify, AWS, Google Cloud and the Community of Madrid. The goal is convert their networks, so far mere highways, on platforms that generate income. Telefónica wants to monetize its privileged position as an identity validity and position itself as a technological intermediary between citizens and services. However, Under these modernity signs, the structure of a company born to another world persists. Its corporate culture, molded for decades as a national monopoly, collides with the agility that innovation requires. The More than 100,000 employees that still maintains the group contrast with lighter operators. Not to mention the great technological ones. The impossible referents When telecos have tried to reinvent themselves, the results have been lime and sand. AT&T opted to become a media company acquiring Warnerjust to end selling it years later. Verizon bought Yahoo and Aol, and then detach from both in half of what cost them. Deutsche Telekom, perhaps the greatest success case, has managed to better balance its transformation, but as its CEO Tim Höttges explained in Barcelona, ​​”today we make 65% of our income in the United States.” Telefónica’s case is more complex. Its international expansion gave it global scale, but also dispersion (a few days ago He sold his Argentine subsidiary for 1,000 million). And its telephone division Tech points to diversification towards cybersecurity, Cloud and IoT, but still represents a small fraction of total income. In the agora of their stand in Barcelona, ​​where more than one hundred managers have paraded tensing during the fair, Telefónica has sought to project a technological leader image. The problem is that the market continues to see it fundamentally as a teleco with aspirations technot as a true technological company. The transition is a long process. The absent host paradox The MWC has put another painful irony on the table: Spain organizes the largest technological fair in the world While your participation in the development of the … Read more

Apple will not create an ultra version for each generation

by

Apple presented yesterday, together with MacBook Air M4its new M3 ultra, the most powerful chip ever created by the company, with 32 CPU and 80 CPU cores, doubleing the M3 Max capabilities by joining two of these chips through its ultrafusion technology. Why is it important. Apple broke the expectations by launching the Ultra M3 instead of the expected M4 Ultra, and incidentally announced a change in its strategy: not all generations of their chips m will have ultra version. Something will change in its strategy with the high range. The context. Apple’s decision seems to respond to a market reality: ultra chips have a very limited audience and their development may not justify the investment. An ultra chip is very expensive to develop and produce, and although its price is much higher, many magnitudes are sold below than the m ramplones or the m pro. Until now, Apple had maintained a constant pattern with base versions, Pro, Max and Ultra for each generation. It will not be so. Between the lines. The new approach suggests that Apple is adjusting its chip development strategy to the real demand, no longer need to take each family to the highest level of performance, but can be allowed to alternate. The Mac Studio with Ultra M3 They leave in an awkward position to Mac Pro with M2 Ultrathat being theoretically the most powerful professional team, now it is overcome in performance by another lower model. Deepen. Technology Ultrafusioncreated by Apple, connects two M3 Max chips using 10,000 signals that provide 2.5 TB/s bandwidth. This allows both chips to work as one, offering: Yield up to 1.5 times higher on CPU and 2 times in GPU compared to the ultra M2. Ability to manage up to eight 6K monitors at the same time. Possibility of reproducing 22 Prore Video sequences 422 8k at the same time. And now what? This strategy could be translated into longer update cycles for ultra chips, reserving them for moments when technological advances justify the cost of development. For professional users, it implies that they must think more about what is the optimal time to update their MAC.

OpenAi already prepares agents of AI capable of replacing the most valuable employees. And plans to charge $ 20,000 per month for them

by

Many feared that AI stole their work. However, new leaked data In The Information They raise a quite different situation, because the prices that OpenAi shuffles for their future advanced agents is absolutely extraordinary. $ 20,000 per month for an AI agent. According to this medium, Openai plans to launch several AI agents oriented to various tasks and scenarios. And the more advanced and specialized, the more expensive they will be. In fact, the most expensive they are talking about would be an investigating agent with the level of a human doctorate, and that would cost $ 20,000 per month. Hiring AI employees will not be cheap. There are other agents such as the qualified as a “knowledge worker with high income” that will have an estimated price of 2,000 dollars per month. If what we want is subtitUOpenai’s proposal will cost $ 10,000 per month. Agents who will work at all hours. The theoretical advantage of these agents is that they will be able to do a theoretically impeccable job, but they will also do it at all hours, without breaks or breaks, without weekends or vacations and without getting bad. If they are really able to do the job as well (or better) as a human being in that position, the investment may come out very profitable. There is no estimated date. It is not clear when these agricultural IAS will be launched or when they will be available for companies, but in The Information they point out how SoftBank – a versor in Openai – has committed to invest 3,000 million dollars in OpenAi agents this year. And OpenAi needs a lot of money. Those expensive subscriptions would leave the current Chatgpt Pro plan of 200 dollars a month, but are of course the road that OpenAi has to become profitable. Today, like most AI companies, OpenAi is burning money and spends much more than he enters. The Plan: Be profitable in 2029. Internal data were leaked months ago according to which OpenAI I hoped to be profitable in 2029. To achieve this they have a fairly simple plan: offer increasingly faces that will make users who want to access their most advanced AI models pay small fortunes monthly. The AI ​​revolution will face. If we listen to these new rumors, it will be better for companies to prepare for the future. One in which they may have the option of “hiring AI employees”, but They are better to be profitablebecause everything indicates that their salaries will be high.

Nothing Phone (3rd) vs nothing phone (2a). What a mid -range mobile choose according to your tastes and needs

by

Nothing has taken advantage of the MWC 2025 to announce its new generation of mobiles from the “A” range. The truth is that The generational jump is quite large And there is much to tell, so we have taken advantage to explain what are the differences between the Nothing Phone (3A) and Nothing Phone (2nd) And, above all, which are the most important. Nothing Phone (3A) and Phone (2A) technical record (2nd) Nothing Phone (2nd) Nothing Phone (3A) dimensions and weight 161.74 x 76.32 x 8.55 mm 190 grams 163.52 x 77.5 x 8.35 mm 201 grams screen Flexible 6.7 -inch AMOLED 1084×2412 (394 ppp) 30 to 120 Hz 10 -bit color depth Maximum brightness of 700 nits Maximum brightness peak at 1,300 nits 240 Hz touch sampling rate Flexible 6.77 -inch AMOLED FullHD+ resolution (2,392 x 1,080 pixels) Color 10-bit Adaptive soda rate: 120 Hz Sampling rate: 480-1,000 Hz PWM: 2,160 Hz Typical brightness: 800 nits Pico shine: 3,000 nits Panda Glass processor MEDATEK DIMENSITY 7200 PRO Qualcomm Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 RAM 8GB / 12 GB 8 GB / 12 GB Internal storage 128 GB / 256 GB 128 GB / 256 GB rear camera Major: 50 MP, F/1.88, OIS.

The brand has been differentiating from the competition, and making a hole in the market, by betting on a particular design that is as beautiful as it is striking. The Nothing Phone (3A) maintains the characteristic design of Nothing Phone (2A) with small differences. Where are we going to find a big difference is in the material from the rear. While Nothing Phone (2a) arrived with a plastic rear, that of Nothing Phone (3A) is glass. This is interesting because we went from having a IP54 certification to an IP64 certification. The arrival of Essential Space Beyond the design, which is one of the main claims of both mobiles, the Nothing Phone (3A) arrives with an interesting function that we can access through the side button called Essential Key. The button activates the Essential Spacethat it is an implementation based on artificial intelligence that is focused on productivity and organization. We can say that it is like a space where we can store things, from text to images, in order to resort to them later. Depending on the pulsations we make in the Essential Keywe can Capture, store text or audios and access to Essential Space. From Medatek to Qualcomm Internal, one of the most notorious changes is found in the processors. It has been practically a year since the nothing phone (2nd) was launched, so for this occasion, for the new generation, The brand has opted to offer something more powerful. In this way, in this sense we see a change of processor (not only of generation) between MediaTek and Qualcomm.

Adjusting the TV to get the best image quality was an ordeal. LG wants to fix it with this function by the

With artificial intelligence I have the same feeling as with connectivity: Let’s see even in the soup And it doesn’t always make sense. I explain: just as you don’t need to put bluetooth to everything (yes, there is even satisfy), Nor is it necessary that there are automatic learning functions on a device where we are not going to take advantage of it and it is more a matter of advertising claim than anything else. With this premise, I face the new presentations with some skepticism and put ia on TV was something that servant put in quarantine. However, I have tried the new artificial intelligence of Webos 25 in THE NEW LG TREES FOR 2025 And I have been a pleasant surprise: there are naïve functions, others that can improve the user experience in general and finally I have encountered an unexpected function simply essential and differential. Enjoy TV is easy, configure it to get the best image quality, already such If you like cinema and series, have a smart TV with a good diagonal is the starting point, but if you want to enjoy the content of your own, it is to open the wallet and bet on An Oled TV. Why this type of panel? My compi Juan Carlos López can give a master’s degree, but in essence it is for issues such as Color reproduction, black intensity, brightness… Parameters that are greatly appreciated in general and in some particular titles and chapters, serve as an example The third chapter of the last season of ‘Game of Thrones’too dark to appreciate all its nuances with a regular TV or with a badly tight OLED. But you don’t have to go to a series or blockbuster: even the DTT looks bad If we do not correctly adjust the TV parameters. Who else who less knows the bases of brightness, contrast, range of colors, etc., but one thing is the theory and another is the practice: I have read a few times our guide on How to calibrate TV to have the best image qualitybut at the moment of truth it choks me and it is hard for me to do it finely. And that I have dedicated time and I have experience with televisions, so when in the LG workshop I saw how they talked to TV to tell him things like ‘The screen looks dark‘ either ‘Get the screen to have more sharpness‘, I stayed with my mouth open. In a nutshell, the new Magic Remote AI command of LG’s teles has a button to invoke its artificial intelligence and, among other things as content recommendations to see or how time will be today, You can tell hair that you want to improve the image quality of what you are seeing or adjust a specific parameter and IA does it for you, although it has the user’s supervision to confirm the process by being subject to some subjectivity. For example, telling you to add more sharpness (‘Make The Screen Sharper‘), proposes a couple of alterative explaining how it affects the image in general, although the most interesting is being able to see the three images and compare each other to select the one we like best. And the thing does not end here: in addition to helping us to have a better image quality, it also serves to adjust the sound parameters, the ugly duckling of the televisions. Thus, either through voice invocation or from the menus it is possible to choose between several proposed settings how we like it, which will result in An optimized custom sound configuration. Apart from our preferences, LG televisions also apply artificial intelligence to achieve a better image escalation, being able to break down by scene to adjust the effects of HDR and brightness by already acoustic level areas, they can create more sound channels virtual. Having a high -end television and not getting the whole game because we do not know how to calibrate it is a drama, but the same can be said of those who have more modest televisions: with a good configuration we can squeeze their virtues to the maximum and in this sense Artificial intelligence can be our best ally.
