There are only two places in Spain from which you can see the eclipse of the 21st: the Spanish Antarctic Bases

by

Eclipses have given much to talk about in recent months. In April of last year millions of Americans saw an eclipse whose total concealment path furrowed from south to north the country. Something closer, in March of this year we had a small snack of the row of eclipses that we can see in the coming years. But some eclipses go unnoticed. A new eclipse. On Sunday there will be a new partial eclipse of Sol. The eclipse will begin approximately At 17:30 UTC7:30 p.m. Spanish peninsular (CEST); and will last almost until 21:54 UTC, or 23:54 Cest. Like other solar eclipses, this occurs on dates close to a lunar, in this case The last day 7 September. The beginning of the eclipse will be given on Pacific waters, near the Samoa archipelago. While being a partial eclipse there will not be a moment of total concealment, it will be at 19:42 UTC (21:42 CEST) when I know the moment of maximum concealment. According to Explain the National Geographic Institute (IGN), the maximum magnitude of the eclipse will be 0.86, but the inhabited settlements can only see the sun disappear in Something more than 72% of its surface. As Ign explains, after 264 minutes of eclipse, the sun will shine fully, being the waters of the ocean, near the Antarctic Peninsula the last to see the solar concealment. The eclipse of the antipodes. Sunday’s eclipse will be almost a tracing that was seen on March 29, only will run through the antipodesthe opposite side of the globe. The partial eclipse will be visible in the islands of New Zealand and other archipelagos of the southern Pacific. Almost “refile” can also be seen on the west coast of Australia, including Sydney and on the island of Tasmania. A very small fraction of humanity will be the one that this eclipse can see. In addition to those that inhabit the mentioned areas, in Antarctica the eclipse may be seen by those residing in some bases, including the Spanish located in the Southern Shetland Islands. The areas where the eclipse will be seen are best in the south of New Zealand and in some areas of the Antarctica continent, specifically in the region known as Earth of Oates, as well as in some small archipelagos located in the region. Waiting for a turn. Meanwhile we are waiting for the three eclipses, two plots and one annular, visible in Spain and part of Europe Between 2026 and 2028. The first of these eclipses will be the August 12 of 2026 and will be a total eclipse. The second will happen on August 2, 2027 and will also be total. The last will be annulled and will arrive on January 26, 2028. Meanwhile the world will see other eclipses. The following, for example, will arrive February 17 of 2026. It will be annulled but it can also be seen only from the southern hemisphere, with its annular phase only visible from Antarctica. February 7, 2027 an eclipse, also cancel, It will travel part of South America and can be seen partially from much of Africa and southern Spain.

This is how new models differ

by

Mark Zuckerberg says Within five years we will use smart glasses And less the smartphone. We do not know if it will be so, but what we do know is that Goal wants to be the leader in this wearable category And they just made it even clearer with new intelligent glasses models, three to be exact. This is the catalog of glasses with the finish line. Goal Ray-Ban Display They are the most advanced model of the catalog and solve one of the shortcomings that had been dragging smart glasses, add visual information. The new ones Goal Ray-Ban Display are The first ones that have an interior screen that only you can see. On the screen, which is in the right lens, information is projected as maps if you are following a route, a video call, preview the photos we take with the glasses and even for real time translation. There is not everything left, the goal Ray-Ban Display They also come with what Meta calls “neural bracelet”. They work through electromyography and are able to translate muscle activity into concrete actions. For example, if we make the gesture of clamp with the thumb and the index it will be like clicking with the mouse, while if we use the thumb and the heart the action will be to go back. At the moment the new goals with finish screen They will only be sold in the United States, where they will cost $ 799 and arrive in very limited units. It is expected to reach more countries in early 2026, although for now we do not know if Spain will be among the chosen countries. Ray-Ban Meta 2nd Generation Are the successors of the Ray-Ban Meta original As for the design, the first generation was available in the Wayfarer and Skyler models, but the new one also arrives in the Headliner model. The second generation improves some key features such as the camera, which now is capable of recording in 3k and its battery lasts double. According to goal, up to 8 hours with a single load. They are only two improvements, but their impact on the price is quite remarkable. While the first generation had a starting price of 329 euros, the new amounts to 419 euros. Oakley Meta Vanguard Are the successors of the Oakley Meta HSTNa model with sports aspirations, but a design too ‘Lifestyle’ that left them in no man’s land. The new ones Oakley Meta Vanguard They bet on a much more aggressive look and a Sports design that adapts to the face. You can choose different colors, the bad thing is that they do not offer the option to wear graduated lenses. It has a 12 megapixel panoramic chamber and records 3K video to 30 frames per second or FullHD at 60 frames per second. The speakers located in the pins have also been improved and target states that They have been optimized so that we can hear them well even if there is wind. The battery reaches 9 hours and also have a load case that can extend autonomy up to 36 hours. Beyond design, glasses also have functions oriented to sports such as Integration with Strava and Garmin. They can also be connected to Apple and Android health to obtain summons of training directly in the Meta AI app. If you also have a Garmin watch, you can ask the glasses details about the training, such as your heart rate. The price is much higher, specifically 549 euros compared to the 439 euros that cost the Oakley Meta HSTN. Meta smart glasses specifications Finally, we leave you a table with the key specifications of the models of glasses with AI that target has in its catalog, including the ones we already knew.

In case Spain did not have enough problems with sun and beach tourism, add a new business: wedding tourism

by

There are those who travel to disconnect, to learn about new landscapes, cultures or traditions, to whom he guides his appetite or simply who wants to enjoy relaxing days on a distant beach with a soda in his hand. To all of them is now added a type of tourist difficult to classify and seeks something totally different: marry. Your trips feed the flourishing (and millionaire) Industry of Rinning Weddings And they are already The pillar of some balearic farms. The ‘yes I want’ as a new rising tourist asset. Two words: Rinning Weddings. The concept is not new, but a quick search on Google is enough to verify that little by little gains strength in Spain. The Rinning Weddings or ‘destination weddings’ are neither more nor less than what the term suggests: couples who, instead of getting married in the city in which they live or in which some of the bride and groom are sought, choose to give the ‘yes I want’ far away. In another city or region. It may even that in another country, including destinations as exotic as Las Vegas or some Greek island. The idea is very simple: that the wedding is more than a wedding for boyfriends and guests, that is also a getaway. A juicy business. It is not easy to provide precise (and updated) data on how many Spanish partners travel to other countries to marry and how many foreigners Spain choose as the scenario for their bodies. In any case something is clear: with Spanish tourism Breaking records and approaching the barrier of 100 million Of visitors, it is a juicy business. And clearly on the rise. In February, Future Marketin Sights consultant published A broad study that estimates that The global market The wedding tourism will be around 36,800 million dollars, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.4% throughout the next decade. They are high values, but above all they exceed those who handled only a few years ago. His Calculation for 2022for example, pointed to a business volume of ‘Solo’ 23,000 million. “The Rinning Weddings They are one of the most popular and most dynamic segments in the global wedding industry, in which couples opt for personalized experiences in exotic places around the world, ” The authors collect of the study. “More and more boyfriends choose to exchange their votes in picturesque and culturally rich places, often with a group of friends and family. The market covers a wide variety of services and destinations offers.” How does Spain affect? As Spain sits top of the world ranking of tourist destinations and even dreams of crowning it (something feasible already in 2040according to the estimates of Google and Deloitte), our country is also reinforced on the map of the Rinning Weddings. On the Internet they can be found A good number of websites in English dedicated to Organize weddings In Spain or what They promote the peninsula and the islands as “An ideal destination” so that the bride and groom exchange alliances. The Canary Islands, Malaga, Marbella or Mallorca usually appear on their list, although in reality the market is very wide. A few years ago Ciudad Rodrigo (Salamanca) launched a baptized initiative ‘Ciudad Rodrigo Wedding Friendly’ I was looking for precisely position the town on the map of wedding celebrations. As the main asset he used his rich historical heritage. A quick search in The Wedding Travel Company It shows in any case that couples determined to marry their city have an extensive list of alternatives in Spain, Greece, Cyprus, Italy, Portugal or the United States, to quote only some countries on their vast list. “We specialize”. To understand the phenomenon The confidential He has spoken With some representatives of the Mallorca sector, one of the hot points of national tourism. And their data and statements are striking. Finca is Cabàslocated just over 20 kilometers from the urban center of Palma, explains that practically 100% of the weddings they do are tourists. And the director of the farm They are brownlocated not much further from there, it agrees that about 98% of the links that host them also lead. “There is a lot of American, a lot of German, a lot of British,” Confirm Yesssi Morel, Wedding Plannerfor whom, beyond the attractiveness of Spain or the costs, the key of the island pull in the destination wedding market is the approach that the sector has adopted. “I think we put everything very easy to foreigners. We are specializing a lot. Every time weddings are perfected more.” As for costs, statista data Before the pandemic show that Spain is one of the countries where the most expensive weddings are celebrated ($ 23,400 on average in 2019), although in reality the data is not much higher than that of Italy and is below the $ 29,000 that were reached that same year in the US. “They seek to save and in Mallorca they have the same wedding with the same quality they could have in the US, but at a lower cost,” Morel clarifies. And how does Mallorquines affect? That is the other big question. In a market that looks at the foreign client and the American couples with a wide budget, what options do they have left? The topic is interesting because, as remember the Wedding Plannerforeigners who plan to marry their home usually follow certain patterns: they reserve well in advance and have no problem in celebrating their ceremonies any day of the week. That (of course) forces the locals to adapt. “The Mallorcan marries only on Saturday and usually prefer certain months, such as September. If they do not escape, they run out of dates,” Confirm The wedding organizer. “Farm owners believe they have a treasure in their hands. They have seen a reef.” Images | Carlo Buttinoni (UNSPLASH) and Camila Cordeiro (UNSPLASH) Via | The confidential In Xataka | The end of the open bar: how weddings are leaving behind their only ‘collective … Read more

Microsoft wants to dominate AI to gross power blow

by

Think of a complex so extensive that it could be confused with an industrial city, where each square meter is designed so that the artificial intelligence Do not stop for a moment. Thus the new Microsoft campus in Wisconsin (United States) is configured. The goal they announce is overwhelming: Render ten times more than the fastest supercomputer of the moment, a message with which they want to make it clear that the battle for AI is played on the computer scale. A data center of this type does not resemble that of a traditional cloud where emails or web pages are housed. It is conceived to train and execute large -scale AI models, such as those that drive applications such as Chatgpt either COPILOT. According to the American company, the project will materialize at the beginning of 2026, after an initial investment of 3.3 billion dollars. When the cloud becomes concrete, steel and many chips The cloud does not float in the air. It rises on concrete soils, with metal structures, pipes and cables that travel underground kilometers. This is how it actually materializes, and Fairwater It is intended to be the most ambitious sample of it. According to Satya Nadellathis campus will become a strategic piece to hold loads that demand each time More energy and computing capacity. In the IA competition, having data centers of this scale is more than a matter of competitive advantage. Fairwater’s key is how it organizes all that calculation power. The company explained that each rack integrates 72 GPU Nvidia Blackwell, Linked through NVLink and NVSWITCH to share up to 1.8 terabytes per second and access 14 terabytes of grouped memory. Of course, he has not detailed the exact number of racks that the campus will have and has limited himself to talking about “hundreds of thousands of accelerators” in total. Together these systems will work as a single supercomputer capable of processing 865,000 tokens per seconda figure that gives an idea of ​​the magnitude of the project, and will be part of a global network of the Azure Network Wide Network Wide Network Beyond the technology that houses, Fairwater impresses with its physical dimensions. It rises on a land equivalent to more than one hundred hectares and adds more than 110,000 square meters of built area. Civil works, according to Microsoft, has required huge figures: 75 kilometers of foundation piles 12,000 tons of steel structure 193 kilometers of medium voltage electric wiring 117 kilometers of mechanical pipes Refrigeration is one of the great challenges of any data center, and in Fairwater becomes even more critical for the chips density it houses. According to data from the Wisconsin Climatology Officethis state presents a Very marked thermal amplitude: In winter, minimum temperatures can fall below 0 ° C with abundant snow, while in summer stockings greater than 25 ° C are reached with high humidity. This variability forces us to have infrastructure that does not depend on a favorable climate, unlike locations in northern Europe where constant cold becomes a natural ally. That is why Microsoft has opted for a liquid refrigeration system in closed circuit that only requires water once during construction and then reuses it without loss. According to the company, more than 90% of the capacity works with this method, supported by the second largest water coolers in the world and in 172 six -meter -high fans that help dissipate heat. The rest of the infrastructure takes advantage of the outer air, but changes to water in the hottest days, when the temperature and humidity exceed what the environment can offer. It is a design designed to maintain efficiency throughout the year in a place where the weather does not always play in favor. Behind Fairwater there are more components designed to sustain datasets massive No bottlenecks. Let’s look at some of them: Total capacity in exabytes “Five soccer fields” size systems More than two million reading/writing operations per second in each cloud storage account Its own system that accelerates access to data and reduces latency, guaranteeing that GPUs never stop Enough optical fiber to give 4.5 turns to earth. Fairwater is, for the moment, a project under construction and many of its promises must still be tested. Microsoft states that when starting at the beginning of 2026 it will be able to perform until ten times more than the fastest supercomputer of the world, although it does not need which one refers to. The true magnitude of Fairwater will only be known when we enter into operation and we can contrast if those figures are fulfilled beyond paper.

The first, a resounding ‘yes’ to orange. The second, Apple has been treading strong

by

A curious fact: each and every one of the mobiles that I have bought throughout my life have been black. All, if exception. More matte, more Glossymore curved or more flat, all blacks. And it is curious, because at no time have I thought about changing it. Today I write this from London, just a few hours after having tried the iPhone 17 Pro First hand in Apple’s central offices, with an idea that does not stop around my head: how beautiful the orange is, how good the new flagship of Apple has and, above all, how much you have to demonstrate. While the analysis arrives, here is a contact. It is much more beautiful in person than in the photos | Image: Xataka Orange: Yes. Although having a matte black available, I would surely think about it, we must recognize that Apple has done a sensational job with the “cosmic” orange. The firm has realized that the iPhone focused on the most professional public does not have to be boring and this touch of color stands out, much, on dark blue and silver. It also highlights that huge camera module, closer to what we see in some high -end Android mobiles than the previous iPhone Pro, and the double finished of the rear. Apple returns to aluminum For the unibody chassis, according to the company, thermal issues, but the rear, what we touch with the hand, is Ceramic Shield. The touch, as in the iPhone Airit is very, very pleasant and, in theory, this material should endure the scratches better. However, all this cares little if we are going to put a case. It is something more big than the previous model, enough to be noticed | Image: Xataka In hand. It feels very similar to iPhone 16 Pro I was wearing in his pocket. The dimensions are not very different and the weight is similar, although slightly greater and all cases: 0.4 millimeters higher and width, five more grams and, yes, half a thicker millimeter. It may seem little, but those 0.5 millimeters are noticed. The touch is also different because, well, we go from titanium to aluminum and Ceramic Shield, although it does not feel less premium. That Apple has well dominated. Speaking of design. One of the keys of the iPhone 17 pro is The steam chamber. This is something that we have already seen in some high -end Android terminals and that now reaches Apple’s models. The idea of ​​this system is to dissipate heat better and maintain sustained performance, but it has two challenges ahead. The first, to be up to summer. The second, be able to refrigerate the device when the user puts an case. Now imagine matte black | Image: Xataka This will not only have an impact when we play or execute heavy tasks, but the cooling system will have to answer when we put the camera to work. If you usually record video with the mobile in 4K you will perfectly know how it heats up when you use it for a long time. This camera sees better and further … Although we have not had the opportunity to try the camera as we do in an analysis, we have been able to struggle with it to see what we can expect. On the one hand, Apple has mounted a 48 megapixel sensor under all the lenses, something that will sit in fear of telephoto. We can make four increases optical zoom and up to eight increases with “optical quality”, as well as digital zoom of up to 40 increases, 25 if we talk about zoom in video. Photo taken with the wide angle (x0.5) | Image: Xataka Photo taken with the angular (x1, automatic) | Image: Xataka Photo taken with Zoom X2 (automatic) | Image: Xataka Photo taken with Zoom X4 (automatic) | Image: Xataka Photo taken with Zoom X8 (automatic) | Image: Xataka Photo taken with Zoom X40 (automatic) | Image: Xataka The result is good, within that the light was the one that was, although when carrying the zoom we will see the seams. Anyway, this is something that we will investigate more during the analysis. … but it’s not the most powerful zoom. Be that as it may, and although the camera points ways, it is no secret that other brands such as Alive, Oppo, Samsung, Google either Xiaomi Zoom systems with more scope are already set up, up to 200 increases in some cases. Here not only the camera comes into play, but the processing that applies the ISP of the processor. Each brand adopts a different approach and Apple has preferred to be more conservative. Personally, I doubt that no one misses having more digital increases, especially if the final result falls into an AI system that artificially recovers the details causing, in some cases, unwanted artifacts. Anyway, and as we pointed before, we will see it more detail when we can try this camera thoroughly. Image | Xataka The square sensor. This does seem absolutely disruptive and that is available throughout the iPhone 17 series seems to me a success. The cameras sensors are 4: 3, that is, slightly rectangular. That is why to get a horizontal selfie you have to rotate the phone. The inner chamber sensor of the new iPhone is squarewhich allows you to take photos or record video horizontally holding the phone vertical. It works at a thousand wonders and surely let’s not see it becoming a standard of the high Android range. The same as always. The iPhone 17 Pro is a expensive phone and, as such, it is normal to ask if it really is worth it. The answer will depend on the profile and why we use the terminal. If we want to use it to record and we know what we are doing in edition, the iPhone 17 PRO promises strong emotions thanks to the prorew prorew format, for example. It also has the … Read more

The lack of commitment to the position

by

Such and As I explained An expert in LinkedIn racing, the personnel selection processes have become a play in which each character must play their role to convince its interlocutor. In the same way as The curriculum must be adapted To respond to the profile of the job offer to which it is postulated, interviews with recruiters require a previous job to convince them that they are facing the right person to cover the vacancy. Prepare a job interview. Adriane Schwageris CEO and co -founder of Growthassistant, a personnel recruitment company. The directive has more than 20 years of experience in recruiting people for all types of profiles and has shared its most important advice for candidates in An interview for CNBC: Arrive prepared. According to Schwager, in the last five years it has noticed a decrease in the level of preparation of candidates for the personnel selection processes. “In fact, I am surprised at the number of times that people do not do their homework. Here is something very basic that I see that the candidates are not doing, which is (understanding): what does the company that is interviewing you?”, Says the recruiter. Investigate the company. The recruiter ensures that the job interview is the perfect time to demonstrate interest in getting the position you are running. Not only because you need employment or For salarybut because the candidate really aligns with the values ​​of the company. A common mistake that the expert has observed in recent years is that many candidates do not investigate what the company does before attending the interview. Schwager points out that it is something that used to remember university students that were presented to their first interviewsbut every time he meets more experienced profiles that do not even bother to know minimally what the company in which he wants to go to work is dedicated. Show interest from the beginning. Knowing your interlocutor in a job interview does not require great effort and provides an important advantage: it denotes a real interest in the position. Schwager emphasizes that it is positive when, naturally, a candidate mentions something about some publication in LinkedIn or X’s profile of the company during the course of the interview. This shows that the candidate has had the interest of navigating the profiles of the company and knowing their situation, giving rise to the conversation already begging in a favorable way to their interests, changing the predisposition of the interviewer. If you have a lot of interest, points high. On the other hand, the expert suggests not conforming only with the established hiring channels, but, if you really are interested in the position, communicate with the superiors to show interest in him. Schwager assures that some of her stronger hiring have been to people who contact her directly through social networks, showing great interest and knowledge about the company. These candidates tend to be more committed and focused on the hiring process. Companies seek commitment. According to Report data State of the Global Workplace 2024 Prepared by Gallup, 62% of employees consider that they have very low levels of commitment to the company, while 15% of the templates are in an active disconnection situation. Only 23% of employees are committed to their job. It is estimated that those Low levels of commitment They generate losses to the global economy of 8.9 billion dollars. For this reason, companies are prioritizing the commitment of their new employees above other factors. Showing that commitment during the selection process gives candidates some extra points in your choice.

Scientists have folded salty ice and discovered that it behaves like an electric generator

by

When we think of ice and salt, it is normal to imagine a road in the middle of winter: the accumulated snow on the asphalt, the trucks spreading salt in a hurry and the neighbors trying not to slip on the icy sidewalks. It is a typical scene in the north or in the mountain areas, where winter turns the landscape into postcard, but also a daily challenge for those who have to move between cut roads or pedestrian crossings turned into traps. What we usually see how a simple help against ice on roads, can actually hide an energy potential. A team from the University of Xi’an Jiaotong, in collaboration with ICN2 and Stony Brook University, has managed to try it in the laboratory. A discovery with “taste” to salt. A pinch of salt for a material to deform, produce electricity. This phenomenon has a name and is called flexoelectricity. It had already been observed in moving glaciers or in ice plates under pressure, but never with results as powerful as those achieved in this study. According to the studythe team frozen water with different concentrations of common salt (NaCl) and created ice blocks in several ways: cones, beams and plates. Then they applied flexion tests – check the ice on two supports and exert pressure from above – and measured the electricity generated. The result was surprising: salty ice generated up to 1,000 times more electric charge than pure ice. The key ingredient. But how can salt enhance something as inert as ice? The answer is in the salted water microchannels that are trapped between the crystals. As the ICN2 press release detailssalt prevents ice from freezing. When folding, water and salt ions move from compressed areas to the stretched, generating an electric charge flow, what scientists call a “Current streaming”(Drag current). In practical terms, the effect is so strong that experimental devices reached values ​​comparable to the best piezoelectric materials used today in the industry, According to research. Depend on ice. At first glance, this technology could have applications in extreme environments, such as scientific stations in polar regions, where installing conventional energy infrastructures is very difficult. The finding contrasts with reality. Since 2000, glaciers have lost 273,000 million tons of water annually, According to ESA. That is equivalent to the consumption of the entire world population for three decades. The setback is already translates into a loss of 5% of the global ice volume, with visible consequences: increased sea level and less availability of fresh water in rivers such as Ebro. Thus, to talk about ice as an energy resource raises an uncomfortable paradox: depending on something that melts increasingly faster. That’s not all. Beyond the environmental dilemmas, the study itself recognizes that there is still much to solve. As they point out in Techxploresalty ice devices suffer mechanical fatigue: after many flexion cycles, their ability to generate energy can fall to 80%. In addition, much of energy is lost in the form of heat, which makes efficiency still lower than that of commercial piezoelectric devices. The look is wide. Even so, the finding opens a fascinating door. “Its advantages – abundance, sustainability and low cost – make it a promising candidate for clean technologies,” Underline the ICN2. And researchers believe that the model is not limited to ice: it could be applied to other porous solids containing fluids inside. The paradox, however, persists: while science explores how to take advantage of the hidden energy on ice, climate change melts at an alarming pace. Perhaps this discovery not only serves to think about new technologies, but also to remember the value of a resource that is disappearing.

When mouth mouth can more than any campaign

by

Today, among the endless fights of political dyes, the avalanche of bulos and the content of questionable moral tasting, a avalanche of posts of very diverse tone shone on social networks: friendly, excited, delivered sincerely. Devotes and, above all, devotees of the romantic series ‘The summer that I fell in love’, which has just given folder to his last season with a final chapter that is being commented with as much attention to detail as the most prestigious series of HBO. And all seasoned with the announcement of A movie that will conclude the storybut that’s the least: at this point we can talk about global phenomenon. What’s up. “The summer I fell in love” is A Jenny Han’s youth novel 2009, which starts a trilogy that captures the experience of the first love. The story is the same as its late adaptation (15 years have passed since the publication of the book) for prime video, directed by Han herself. She is narrated in the first person: the protagonist is a young woman who has spent her summers since childhood in the beach house of a friend of her mother, who has two children. When the young woman turns 15, a romantic interest triangle is raised, although the story goes further: the novel and the series explore the rites of the passage to maturity, insecurity and fears of this stage and the discovery of one’s identity. Why is it so popular. It has been a transgenerational phenomenon, and the series has hooked Beyond generation Z to which the series could apparently be directed at its origin, since Millennials has also seen it, an arc of women between 18 and 34 years. Moreover, as seen on social networks, they have reached it Up to 54 -year -old speakers. The love triangle that generates debates on social networks (divided between #teamconrad and #teamjeremiah), The idyllic locations of North Carolina and the care of many formal aspects (such as the soundtrack with themes of Taylor Swift and other artists, who elaborate a kind of “sound character” that accompanies the characters) have made the rest. Result: Explosive Hearings such as Rounding 25 million viewers In the first week of season 3. And the complaints. Of course, such a popular and, above all series, so followed by the female audience (because these doubts do not consider so often with the action series or the pure thrillers more oriented to men) has been observed with great caution. In the country, Patricia Gosálvez described the ñoña and toxic series while he recognized being hooked, because one thing does not take away the other. The Conrad figurethat embodies the archetype of emotionally complicated and dependent man, has opened a debate on the romanticization of problematic relationships between young people. A special fandom. Apart from the polarization in two teams according to what Donjuán adolescent he relies, ‘the summer that I fell in love’ has transcended with other elements the mere standard status to become a global cultural phenomenon. For example, The end of the third seasoninitially conceived as the definitive closure, generated great expectation among fans, with a clamor on platforms such as X and Tiktok (just an hour and a half after the premiere, the hashtag #thesummeriturned pretty accumulated 46,000 publications in X and some videos on Tiktok reached 300,000 visualizations), which undoubtedly had much of the announcement of the announcement of the announcement of the announcement of the film. The phenomenon of “hidden successes.” The platforms have two types of successes: those who come remotely from Netflix, HBO or Prime Video, series that are expected (or expected) that they are a success and begin an advertising campaign months before the premiere to create expansion, such as Wednesday, the dragon house or stranger Things. But there are other successes that grow little by little, thanks to a dedicated and faithful fandom: it happens with highly emotional Thrillers based on Harlan Coben, or romantic offices such as ‘The summer that I fell in love’. Series that, months after their premiere, are still making their spectators talk. Authentic worship phenomena.

Leapmotor confirms that he will manufacture in our country in 2026

by

One more. LEAPMOTOR will manufacture its electric cars in Spain, as confirmed by Antonio Filosa, CEO of Stellantis to Automotive News Europe. The news emphasizes the role that Spain is playing among the most affordable electric cars and how our country has a very anticipated type of car in its hands but also sows some doubts. Confirmation. “We have recently announced an industrial collaboration to provide Leapmotor for capacity in one of our Spanish plants to manufacture their cars on its platform. It will begin very soon.” With these words, Philose confirmed Automotive News Europe That, indeed, it will be one of the plants that the automotive giant has in Spain that will produce its electric cars. Why does an electric car have less autonomy than the announcing Stellantis has factories in Madrid, Zaragoza and Vigo but for now it is not clear which is the chosen plant or what cars are the ones that will be assembled. Nor will the process be carried out since the Polish production of the T03 Leapmotor that was being carried out through kits He stopped last April. What and who? As we say, from Stellantis they have not given many more signs beyond that cars will begin to be manufactured next year. Yes we can imagine that, because of the cast that Stellantis has for Spain, Zaragoza has all ballots. From there come the small electric ones of the group such as the Opel Corsa, Peugeot 208 and Lancia Ypsilon. In addition, it will be next to the battery factory that Stellantis will raise with catl. What cars will also be manufactured is also a mystery but everything points again, that they will be the LEAPMOTOR B10 In a first start. This is a 4.52 -meter car with a slightly fair battery if we want is very close to 20,000 euros. It is possible that the LEAPMOTOR B05an even cheaper option that seen what was seen well could be at the border of 25,000 euros before aid. Of course, they are at the moment speculative information taking into account how little we already know. All of the above has to be confirmed. What is Leapmotor? Leapmotor is a Chinese company with highly promising electric cars. The company was partially acquired by Stellantis In a play to put Chinese and cheap electric cars in its portfolio. Stellantis’s experience in China has not been good and has recently decided to dissolve all its collaborations in the country. In return, what he did was put money in this company to have access to its R&D and, in addition, completely control the distribution of the brand outside of China. Leapmotor, on the other hand, won an injection of money but also the open door to export cars without the obligation to mount a entire distribution and after -sales network in other countries. The Stellantis network is the one carried out by that service. How will it be manufactured? It is another of the great unknowns. Until last April, Stellantis has been manufacturing in Poland El T03, the cheapest electric car that Leapmotor had in Spain and that We could try a few months ago. This production was carried out with kits arriving from China but Europe has denied that it serves to skip tariffs on electric cars. The result is that Stellantis has stopped producing this car on Polish soil, since these electric cars became increasing and lost their true attraction: the price. It is expected, therefore, that the company has in mind to produce its cars here (or much of them) if you want to avoid the famous tariffs. It is a case, therefore, similar to omoda. This last company, owned by Chery, wanted to manufacture the OMODA 5 electric in the old Barcelona plant in Nissan. However, before this attitude of Europe has delayed his plans. And, in the background, it plans the shadow that the Chinese government has sent the manufacturers stop their investments if Europe does not yield In this position. Hope. The good part of history is that, without a doubt, it is a new impulse to Spanish factories. Spain is becoming the ideal space to manufacture The most affordable electric cars of the brands that are already settled in our country. Labor and energy costs are lower than in other parts of Europe but, in addition, there is already a labor and industrial structure that allows the assembly lines to be adapted with a lower investment than if it had to create a whole plant from scratch. In addition, electric car sales of between 25,000 and 30,000 euros are expected to continue growing. Manufacturers need to sell this type of cars to fulfill the commitments on emission. The doubts. The most serious doubts come with the hug that the public wants or is willing to give to this type of vehicles. This week we have known that Ford will fire 1,000 employees In Colonia (Germany) because their numbers do not endure the investment made. Of course, in this case we talk that Ford is having difficulty putting cars on the market that, Actually, they are Volkswagen of origin. Although The electric car of 25,000 euros The manufacturers’ salvation table is craving, the truth is that, for the moment, They are vehicles that force certain concessions and discomforts in long trips. And that, for the moment, continues to cause them to be most complicated cars to place that those with the highest price but whose resignations They begin to give completely the same.

The “Tiktok template” marks the way to follow for the rest. It is the formula for Chinese technology to enter the United States

by

The agreement of Tiktok For the application to remain in force in the United States It is making begg. It is not for less, because it is in the core of a great Commercial War between the US and China. In addition, it also represents something that goes far beyond the application itself or its operation: it establishes a model that could open the doors to other Chinese technologies to operate in US territory. How Tiktok would survive in the United States. According to the leaks of the Wall Street JournalTiktok will operate in the United States through a new company controlled at 80% by US investors such as Oracle, Silver Lake and Andreessen Horowitz. The remaining 20% ​​will remain in the hands of Bytedance and other previous shareholders. The key is that the US government will have a direct seat in the Board of Directors of the new company. Why is it important. Until now, Chinese technology companies in the United States only had two options: being prohibited or selling completely American competitors. This “Tiktok template”, as Kevin Xu, founder of the Newsletter Interconnected, mentions it, introduce A third way: technological licensing under American majority control. As the expert explains, “this model opens the door for more critical, strategic and advanced technologies to flow from China to the United States.” The real award. Beyond Tiktok, this model could be applied to sectors where China dominates the global supply chain. Let’s think about byd wanting Sell ​​electric cars in the United States, Catl supplying batteries To American manufacturers, or Hesai distributing Lidar systems to robotics. These are technologies where Chinese companies have a considerable technological advantage and are ready to deploy today, while US alternatives could take years to be available on a large scale. The rules of the game. To work, xu Explain That Chinese companies will have to accept staying with a minority and passive participation, renouncing part of the commercial benefits in exchange for the “privilege” of selling in the US market. They must also find the perfect mix of politically related investors and companies with the White House to assemble the company that is responsible for managing the product in the United States. Between the lines. “This was a purely political problem from the beginning, so it could only be resolved with a political solution,” Recognize XU himself after years chasing the case of Tiktok. The analyst explains that neither technology, nor national security, even the laws matter. According to Xu, what works is to identify the most powerful figures and tie them in a network of conflicting but attractive interests that is difficult to reject. And now what. The Tiktok agreement, which Trump He says he will confirm this Friday With Xi Jinping, he could mark the beginning of a new era in technological relations between the two countries. That Tiktok continues in the United States is a decision that will not leave anyone indifferent, both for supporters and detractors. The template is ready, now we need to see who uses it first.
