Tour the entire Madrid subway in just 12 hours

by

His name is Adham Fisher and his name is in the history books. Provided that we put in that bag the bizarre challenges that They are collected in the Guinness book of the records. His crushing is as simple as crazy and strategic. Fisher is the man who has taken less time to travel all the Madrid subway lines. No matter the order, the arrival station or the departure. It only matters to have gone through each and every one of the stations that are part of the Madrid Metro network. The record has been held since 2017 When he registered 12 hours, 15 minutes and 48 seconds touring the Madrid subsoil. The judges’ note says the following: “Adham possessed the record to travel faster the Paris subway and that of New York.” Also a notice: “record attempts will not be admitted if the applicant is under 16 years.” It is not mentioned in the notice if it is a matter of security or that they understand that with less than 16 years there are better plans than spending half a day underground running between stations. Anyway, Fisher has returned to Madrid. And it has an objective: to lower your time. Noon under the ground Adham Fisher’s relationship with the Madrid suburban is long. Although his best time in Madrid dates from 2017, he also held a record with 13 hours in the accountant. And although he tells ABC who knows that at least some students have tried to snatch their record (The attempt was carried out in 2021)we do not know if there have really been many more attempts. The strategy is the same as the one that already told The world That same year. Then I tried to find the limits of Madrid’s vicinity and, as on this occasion (Fisher is one of the claims of the European Mobility Week In Madrid), he already pointed out that the project takes a lot of study, noting the times in stops and Analyze what its origin and destination should be. Of course, keep them a secret until the challenge is launched and finished, if there is luck, to the edge of the half -time. This time, Fisher was doubtful. Madrid Metro Line 6 is being renovated And therefore, it is largely closed. It was not a big problem for the British who uses the special bus service that the city has available to follow the line of the line. However, perform part of the path on the asphalt already seemed an insurmountable handicap. And although Fisher also knows what he faced because He already tried to tour all London’s bus lines In less than 24 hours, from the Madrid subway they have confirmed that, finally, the British has preferred to devote its passage to Madrid to take times for a future attempt. These successive attempts and their years of dedication hatched three years ago in a documentary called Team Fisher in which his attempt is to travel the 272 stations of the London Metro before the end of the day. And he also tells his experience in the book Tube Challenge: The Ultimate Ride. And is that the challenge of touring all the stations of the London suburban It began in 1960. Since then, they have accumulated to 22 new records that, yes, dance slightly in the number of stations. At the moment, the innumerable works by Madrid It seems that they have delayed a new attempt by the British that has been one of the subway claims for this week mobility. But something tells us that we will find it again in one of the hundreds of platforms of the Madrid Metro, notebook and stopwatch in hand.

The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold7 receives its first great offer

by

Folding mobiles are curious at least. They are really practical to use them in various ways, but it is undeniable that on many occasions they are very prohibitive for the prices to which they come to the market. He Samsung Galaxy Z fold7 It is no exception, and although it is still quite expensive, if you thought to buy it now you can do it by paying less: the English Court has launched its first offer in the 256 GB version of Samsung’s mobile – the first offer in general was that of 1 TB, during the prime day – and has left it for 1,792.65 euros instead of 2,109 euros, which is its official price. Samsung Galaxy Z Fold7 (256 GB) The price could vary. We obtain commission for these links Samsung’s best folding, now cheaper He Samsung Galaxy Z fold7 It is the best Fold that Samsung has launched to date, and is also one of the most different with respect to past generations. A key point of this specific model is its design: Now it is thinner (8.9 mm folded and 4.2 mm deployed)higher and wider, something that is appreciated for comfort issues. As usual, Samsung’s mobile comes with two screens: it incorporates a internal screen folding dynamic amoled 2x of 8 inches (qxga+) and also comes with a External screen 6.5 -inch Dynamic Amoled (FHD+). Both panels offer an adaptive refreshment rate of 120 Hz. Internally comes with the best: processor Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy together with, in this case, 12 GB of RAM and 256 GB of internal storage. Your software comes with Android 16 (One UI 8) and, as we usually see in the brand, you will support for seven years. Another of the greatest changes in this generation has to do with the photographic section. The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold7 mounts a couple of front cameras (internal screen and external screen) of 10 MP each. But, in addition, it also incorporates a rear camera module that is composed of a 200 MP main sensoran ultra -angular sensor of 12 MP and a 10 MP teleobjective.

It has rained so much in Spain during 2025 that we are going to have the worst citrus harvest of the last 16 years

by

The Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food has just published the capacity of citrus of this year. At first glance, the data are devastating: it is estimated that Spanish farmers They will produce 5.44 million tons of citrus fruits. That is 10.7% less than last campaign and 14.2% less than the last five campaigns. We talk about the worst campaign in 16 years. The only positive thing about this data is that they are better that those who were giving the producers themselves. A world giant … in back. Do not forget that, for the Spanish economy, citrus fruits are not one more product. Not only is the sixth citrus producer of the world; It is that almost 25% of global exports leave here and, in fact, more than half of national production is used for sale in foreign markets. Every year, the country sells the equivalent of 3.6 billion euros throughout the country. With this in mind, the fall in production could be seen as a lousy news and, nevertheless, the Spanish field is at a point where (without despising its pernicious effects) it can be the best that has happened to it. As? As it sounds. The best example is lemon, according to ministry estimates, lemon production would fall to about 866,657 tons. That is, 14.7% less than the previous year: 149,400 tons less. It seems a lot, but we take into account that, According to COAGlast year they were discarded around 400,000 tons. The figure does not seem so big. In the end, in just eight years, Spain has gone from having 36,000 hectares dedicated to the cultivation of lemon to 53,000. The lemon went from being “the chicken of the golden eggs” from the Spanish field to a trap that has forced many producers to start tear out trees. However, that is not the reason for the fall. According to the mapthe main factors behind this setback are the excessive spring rain (which coincided with flowering and contributed to their rot), high temperatures during citrus development and a series of hail episodes in producing areas. Where does Spanish agriculture go? Be that as it may, this adjustment of oranges and lemons can help to clean up a sector that has a long time. The question, however, is what damage will cause that sanitation and which parts of the sector will take ahead. As with other agricultural products (such as The Canary Islands banana or the traditional olive grove) the succession of bad years has led the producers to the edge of the abyss and all the alternatives are bad.

Goal has taken the next step in its conquest of the connected glasses segment. Has done it with the new Goal Ray-Ban Displaywhich as its name indicates, introduce an important element to the experience of use: a monocular screen that seems magical. And it seems because that screen sees the one who takes them on, but barely see the people around. The new goal gads also have a neural bracelet that allows you to use gestures to control glasses instead of doing it with the voice. Let’s know more closely the Goal Ray-Ban Display. TECHNICAL SHEET RAY-BAN DISPLAY Goal Ray-Ban Display Screen Monocular screen, 600×600 px, 90 Hz Right lens FOV 20 30-5,000 nits Dimensions Hinge hinge: 144-150 mm High of the lenses: 40 mm Lenses width: 47-50 mm Bridge width: 23 mm Patillas length: 129-135 m Weight Marco: 69-70 g Load case: 169 g Band Neural Goal: 42 g Audio 2 Swhakes tailored to the open ear, 76.1db 6 microphone system Camera 12 MP with ultra wide angle 3,024 x 4,032 pixels Video 1,440 x 1,920 to 30 fps 3x digital zoom Battery Goal Ray-Ban Display: 960 MWh (248 mAh) Up to 6 hours of mixed use Up to 24 hours additional with completely loaded load case Neural Band goal: 148 mAh, up to 18 hours of use Water resistance Ray-Ban Display goal: IPX4 Neural Band goal: IPX7 Memory 2 GB LPDDR4X Storage 32 GB More than 500 photos and more than 100 videos of 30 seconds Connectivity Wi-Fi 6 Bluetooth 5.3 (5.2 in the Neural Band) Others Available graduation from -4.00 to +4.00 Price $ 799 A private screen to see beyond what you see The Connect target event that has been held this early morning (Hours of Spain) has served to know both the Ray-Ban Meta (Gen 2) Like the striking ones Oakley Meta Vanguardbut these two models are within the basic category of connected glasses: they have AI and a camera, but the interaction is by voice. We can see a small projected map on the real image in which to easily follow the addresses to reach our destination. With the goal Ray-Ban Display-one, now the “goal” goes in front of “Ray-Ban”-the company has taken another step and offers a screen that is screened on the right lens. Its resolution is 600×600 px and the brightness can reach 5,000 nits amazing, which allows you to see it outdoors without problems. Video calls on screen. On that screen is where all kinds of information are projecting, adding a visual layer that can be very useful in various situations. For example, you can Project a mapfollow a recipe or make video calls watching the person we call directly on that small screen. And generation of real -time subtitles in conversations, something that can be especially useful for real -time translation and of course for people with hearing problems. But of course that private screen allows us to also Read text messages Or whatsapp, see small reels videos or Instagram images, and interact with those contents by answering our friends directly. We can even share what we are seeing with family and friends through the House of glasses. The screen and the camera also become even more interesting to use them when taking photos and videos, since on the screen we can see a capture preview – like the screen or digital viewer of the cameras – and we can even apply a zoom in those catches. Another option of the new Ray-BAN Display goal is the possibility of obtaining real-time subtitles of the conversation, something that can be Spectacular for people with hearing problems. Meta has also introduced a technology called Focus conversation that is capable of “subtitular” only what the person we are looking at tells us, ignoring noise and background conversations. Not only that: there is also a real -time translation option like the one that Mark Zuckerberg demonstrated a few months ago in a previous event. And of course, we can enjoy musical reproduction while we see on the screen the visual information of the artist or group, in addition to being able to navigate the interface of the music player in voice or, as we will see, with gestures. The glasses integrate a battery that promises an autonomy of up to six hours with a mixed use, but also the load case can make that autonomy reach 24 hours. A curious detail: The load case “folds” And that allows us to easily save it in our pocket. Of course, in that interaction there will be another important element, and it is the goal app that is integrated into the glasses and that allows to obtain information about what we look at, but also to talk and ask questions at all times through voice interaction with this AI model. There is another interesting detail: it is possible to graduate glasses for those users who need it. According to specifications, this graduation can go from You can talk, or you can make gestures: the Meta neural bracelet arrives The other differential element of the goal Ray-Ban Display is the call Neural bracelet (Neural Band), a device that makes use of EMG technology (electromiography) in which target It has been working for years. Neural Band goal What is done is to register with electrodes the electrical activity produced by the muscles, and translate that activity and those signs into commands and actions that are executed in the glasses. The final result: we can control glasses with clamp gesturesfor example, gaining thumb and index to select an option (such as a kind of left mouse button) or a thumb and a half clamp to go back. This technology allows to replace the traditional touch interface on the screen or the buttons with those sensors in our wrist that will allow us to make scroll, click and even in the near future write messages as if we wrote them by hand in the air. EMG technology is therefore … Read more

Spacex closed a few days ago the greatest purchase of its history. It has nothing to do with rockets, or spacecraft, but it paves the way for Starlink not to leave any corner of the earth without coverage. A little context. On September 8, Spacex announced an agreement which shake again the foundations of the satellite industry: the purchase of the entire spectrum of the band S of Echostar in the United States and its global satellite mobile service licenses. The operation, valued at 17,000 million dollars, is astronomical because it does not seek a short -term investment return, but the strategic domain of the market. With this play, Spacex acquires the necessary lane for its Direct To Cell Cell Call Service, but also eliminates its main power competitor from a strokewhich was the echostar. Charlie Ergen’s company had been accumulating this valuable spectrum for decades without displaying its own network, and now becomes the fuel of Elon Musk’s plans. A giant jump. The current constellation Starlink Direct to Cell satellites has more than 600 satellites in orbit that offer 4G coverage. The Spacex plan is to use its frequencies newly acquired to move to the next level. The next generation of Direct To Cell satellites promises to multiply the current capacity by 100 thanks to the new spectrum and 5G protocols. In practice, this should translate into the total elimination of dead areas: provided you can see the sky you will have coverage, either from your land operator or Starlink. Buy spectrum to eliminate competition. According to an analysis by the specialized consultant TMF Associates, the purchase is designed To corner other competitors such as Ast Spacemobile or the alliance between Apple and Globalstar, forcing them to join Spacex or be left behind. In a characteristic turn of the character, Elon Musk responded to the analysis stating that “almost everything in this article is wrong”, which leaves a cloud of uncertainty about the finest details of the strategy, but not on its impact. Starship, the piece that was missing in the puzzle. Having the best spectrum in the world does not serve to offer global coverage to millions of customers if you can’t launch many Satellites And this is where the second key piece comes in: Starship. After a series of failed test flights, the tenth launch of the world’s largest rocket managed to display a load for the first time. August 26, Starship not only reached space and survived an infernal reentrybut he fulfilled a key mission for the future of Starlink: he successfully displayed a payload. Using a mechanism that Spacex compares with fish candy dispensers, the ship released eight Starlink satellite simulators, which shows that it is already ready to self -financing in the short term. This milestone is crucial. Starship will be the vehicle in charge of launching the new generation Starlink V3 satellites, and the difference in capacity with the Falcon 9 is abysmal: while a Falcon 9 rocket can put into orbit about 22 satellites V2 mini, Starship is expected to deploy much larger batches. Not only more satellites, but much better. The last key of the plan is the technological evolution of Starlink satellites themselves. Starship will not only allow more satellites, but much larger and more capable satellites. According to Spacex herself, a single starship launch with satellites V3 will add 60 tbps capacity to the networkmore than 20 times which achieves a Falcon 9 today. The Starlink V3 also involve an engineering leap, especially because of their navigability. They incorporate new generation hall argon propellers such as the one seen in the header image. According to A SPACEX managerThey destroy the specifications of the already impressive current thrusters and allow more efficient orbital maneuvers. A constellation to dominate them all. Spacex’s strategy is built on a practically unattainable basis by competition. The Starlink Broadband Network has More than 8,300 satellites in orbitmore than all other constellations together. Broadband Internet service offers discharge speeds of 200 Mbps and latencies of 25 milliseconds in the United States, with a total capacity of almost 450 Tbps. And although third generation satellites (V3) will not reach until 2026the Spacex production machine does not stop. The future of Spacex. But the vision of the future goes even further. Spacex recently revealed A new “25 Gbps” mini-raser that will be integrated into its satellites. This technology not only serves for Starlink to communicate with each other creating a mesh in space, but will allow other ships, satellites or space stations to connect directly to the Starlink network as if it were an orbital internet provider. With the purchase of the ideal spectrum, a heavy launching vehicle and a satellite technology that advances at a dizzying pace, Starlink’s goal of eradicating dead the dead coverage areas on Earth has ceased to be a chimera to become an engineering plan in full execution. The world is about to become much smaller. Image | Spacex

Video games have fired their number of users, and come from an unsuspected place: television series

by

The video game adaptations have long left behind the “impossible” sambenito. Criticism and public successes such as recent television series’The Last of Us‘ either ‘Fallout‘They have proven that the episodic format fits especially well with the long plot developments of the games and with their very wide characters. But there is more: a recent study shows that not only those series are successful because they attract the players. The flow also works in reverse. More spectators. According to A recent study by Ampere Analysisscreen adaptations drive the growth of the number of players by 140% on average. Among these adaptations, the average increase achieved by television series is up to 203%, much higher than films (48%). Among the former we can find such outstanding series as’Arcane‘,’ The Last of Us ‘,’The Witcher‘,’ Fallout ‘,’ Knuckles’, ‘Cyberpunk: Edgerunners‘,’ Conserje Pokémon ‘or’ Halo ‘. Among the movies, ‘A Minecraft movie‘,’Sonic The Hedgehog‘,’Super Mario Bros. the film‘,’Uncharted‘,’ Mortal Kombat ‘or’ Detective Pikachu ‘. To the bunker. For example, the premiere of the “Fallout” series in Prime Video in April 2024 caused a 490% increase in monthly active users (UAM) playing the franchise: 80% of the 14 million active players were new. In contrast, additional content launches for ‘Fallout 76’ previously achieved only 17% increase in UAM. It is a phenomenon that had already been detected since the same premiere of the series, when the 2015 Búnkeres construction and management game ‘Fallout Shelter’ received an unusual impulse Almost a decade after birth, going from giving benefits of about $ 20,000 a day to enter $ 80,000 a day, thus increasing their benefits by 232%. The last ones will be the first. There is a more particular case, because it adapts a narrative game, closed, without online and that had been acclaimed by criticism and public a few years before, calling the attention of non -hardcore public, that is, that the middle fan had more than known. ‘The Last of Us “experienced a 150% rise in its players base: an absolutely spectacular figure if we take into account that the series does not” complement “or expands what is seen in the games, but tells it again. Without a doubt, it is a different phenomenon from that of ‘Fallout’: the excellent invoice of HBO production, much more mainstream That the prime video, it caught the attention of non-players. To compare: the relaunch of “The Last of Us Part II” for PS5 only made the monthly players in 70%. And in cinemas, ‘Minecraft’. This is one of the greatest recent box office successes, and here there has been a clear feedback: the commented Tumults in cinemas They are due to the preteen enthusiasm of the ‘Minecraft’ players, but the current was also in the reverse direction: the premiere in April 2025 produced a growth of 30% of users of the game. Of all of them, 54% of the new players were people who had abandoned the games previously, that is, the film reactivated their interest in the game. Some reasons. They are diverse (although we like to continue putting in the same sack to ‘Arcane’ already ‘Street Fighter’, these are adaptations for generations of completely different spectators), but the Massive television accessibility. This allows those who do not play videogames to know their emblematic stories without having to overcome the “input barrier” that sometimes lifts the technology, already later encouraged to enter them on their own. In any case, it seems that we are living a golden era for this type of series and films: fidelity to the originals achieved with films such as ‘Super Mario Bros.’ or ‘Sonic’ was unthinkable a few years ago. The change in the interests of the public causes these products to cease to be niche, or rather, that they no longer have the need to soften the elements of the original video game to become massive products. Viodeojuegos are already an entertainment mainstream and its adaptations catapult that audience.

Goal has found in extreme sport a new market niche for its glasses

by

Goal has just presented a new model of its new smart glasses and does so by repeating experience with Oakley. However, instead of betting on a mounting -oriented assembly, it is committed to a niche of Very concrete user For their Oakley Meta Vanguard: the High intensity athletes who want to share their training and experiences. Although my incipient belly and the increase in my pulsations when climbing stairs betrayed That was not the user profile Objective to which these connected glasses were directed, the goal engineers let me try them equally. Although when I took them, I still did not feel like putting on Run a marathon Or pedal for 200 km, I must recognize that it is a product very well focused on its audience. Real sports design The first view makes it clear that we are not talking about glasses that fit the outfit that anyone would choose to go out with the friends of the afternoon or on vacation, as would probably do with the Ray-Ban Meta Wayfarer or with them Oakley Meta HSTN. They are not casual glasses, but their enveloping design already points to sports use. The first thing that surprised me when they took them was their weight. Despite being glasses with considerable glass coverage and thick sideburns that end up integrating with the frontal glass, only They weigh 66 gramswhich are 13 grams more than the Meta HSTN. While it is true that they are not as light as the “analog” sports glasses (which are around 35-45 grams) The Vanguard targets use some tricks that Oakley has applied in their design to look lighter. Instead of dropping the weight on the ears and the bridge of the nose, they distribute it along the surface of the pin that remains in contact with the head. In addition, the bridge is rubber and removable, which allows the glasses to settle correctly on the nose and prevent it from sliding with the movement or sweat. This accessory would be the equivalent of the headphones pads, but to adapt the goggles bridge to your nose. Even at the risk of being shot, I could not resist jumping and moving my head as if he were the guitarist of a rock group of the 80s. Not a millimeter moved of your position. That led me to remember the experience of my partner Javier Lacort With the Oakley Meta HSTNthey did move when it ran. The most prominent element are polarized and interchangeable prizm lenses that protect from the sun even on the sides. They are more heavy than conventional sports glasses, but the three -point adjustment system (bridge and after the ears) distributes the weight of the glasses so that it is barely noticeable. How could it be otherwise, glasses They have IP67 protection And they resist sweat, rain, splashes, dust, snow and even mud. In addition, the lenses have anti -ñazos resistance in their four glass finishes: 24k (golden), black, road (violet) and saphire (blue). If the crystal will be damaged (for a fall, for example) or want to change style, it can be replaced by another replacement that is sold separately by 85 dollars. Audio, Chamber and … Action !! So far, the Oakley Meta Vanguard could be any of the sports glasses to the use of the Oakley catalog, but it is now when it is time to discover the goal hand. Something that I realize is that, beyond the obvious design change, in reality (and with some nuances that I will designate below) the avant -garde technology does not contribute (almost) nothing new with respect to the HSTN goal, with which Share 90% of its equipment of sound, camera functions or functions of artificial goal intelligence. That makes the “wow” effect be diluted to be before a new product. Like the rest of the goal smart glasses, it has a system of five proximity microphones. That makes, although whoever is by your side also has finish glasses, when running voice commands for the goal assistant AI, only the glasses you wear are activated. Although I could not check it for myself, the goal engineers assured me that these microphones had optimized to filter external noise and wind, more than reasonable in a device with which it is possible to respond to a call while descending skiing the slope of a snowy mountain or traveling the paths of a forest at full speed. What I could try is the sound. Second surprise: They sound really good. As they told me in the finish line, the speakers are 60% more powerful than in previous models. As in the previous models of finish glasses, the speakers are located at the bottom of the pin and oriented towards the auditory pavilion, which makes the sound arrive naturally. Against all prognosis, the bass had enough presence and gave the feeling of canned sound. Again, I could not try them in a noisy or wind environment, but in a room with several people around me talking animatedly and with an average volume, the audio remained well defined. One of the details that I could see is that up to 60 or 70% nobody by your side listen to what you are listening, from that level a murmur is heard (as in normal headphones) but it is not possible to clearly identify what it sounds like. The main difference of the Vanguard target with respect to the other two models of target glasses, is that the camera is not on one side, but is located just above the nose. When working, an LED light turns on the upper edge. This location and its 122º field of vision It makes the feeling of being recording exactly what you see, since the perspective of the glasses coincides with that of your eyes. As in the Oakley Meta HSTN, this 12 megapixel camera records with a 3K resolution at 30 fps. In addition to being able to take photos, there are three … Read more

New Ray-Ban Meta (Gen 2) Features Price Technical File

by

The first generation of The Ray-Ban Meta They had already shown that glasses could go far beyond aesthetics. Now, goal updates your proposal with the Ray-Ban Second generation target, that arrive with key improvements in such relevant aspects as autonomy, image quality or new colors for their range. With these improvements, Meta seeks to strengthen the position of your market glasses. According to the data of the Counterpoint consultancy published by Wiredthe Ray-Ban Meta represented more than 60% of the world market in its category. Ray-Ban Meta (Gen 2) dimensions and weight 150 x 50 x 22 mm 52 grams (mount) Image capture 3024 x 4032 pixels 12 MP, Ultra wide angle, 100 ° of FOV Video capture 3K at 30 fps 1440p at 30 fps 1200p at 60 fps audio system 2x microaltavoces 5x Microphones Voice assistant Goal AI Controls Tactile By voice memory 32 GB Flash (+500 photos or 100 videos of 30 seconds) battery Up to eight hours with a mixed load and use. 5 hours of continuous audio playback Up to 48 hours accumulating loads with the completely loaded case connectivity Wifi 6 Bluetooth 5.3 USB-C of load (case) compatibility iOS 15.2 or Android 10 onwards price 419 euros Rayban Meta – Ray -Ban Intelligent Sun Sun Black Black Black, Blue Light Filter, Standard. A direct evolution of the Meta Ray (Gen 1) Goal and Ray-Ban maintain the same idea that made the first version of the Ray-Ban Meta into a success: glasses with the iconic design of the Ray-Ban Wayfarer and multimedia and connectivity functions. In that aspect, goal has remained conservative and has not altered its formula, so there are no design differences between the first generation and the second. However, the finish line (Gen 2) improve that bet in key sections. The most important: its battery. The new version Duplicate your autonomy and reach up to eight hours of use. The Ray-Ban Meta (Gen 2) manage to load 50% of their battery in 20 minutes and allow a total autonomy of up to 48 hours thanks to the additional loads provided by their case. Your camera 12 megapixel ultrapanoramic It also adds to the updates and is now able to record 3K video with up to 60 fps and HDR, which is a qualitative leap in terms of image quality from the 1080p of the previous model, and allows videos to be taken in Slow Motion (slow camera) and Hyperlapse (fast camera). Like the previous model, the glasses of the glasses integrate open speakers that allow to listen to music or attend calls without isolation from the environment. Goal ensures that these speakers have improved increasing its power In this second generation. As support for sound quality, glasses have a five -microphone matrix that capture the sound of the voice clearly. Inside, glasses have 32 GB of memory To store up to 500 photos or 100 videos of 30 seconds. In addition to Wi-Fi 6 connectivity and Bluetooth 5.3 to quickly match them with the mobile. Iconic style and better integration with AI As was the case with the first model, the new glasses do not seem like a technological device, but a lifetime. The new options catalog includes More than 27 combinations of shapes, colors and lenses, from the classic wayfarer to more current proposals such as Skyler or Headliner. The second generation incorporates new limited editions in striking tones such as Cosmic Blue, Mystic Violet or Asteroid Gray, designed for those who seek an extra customization and can combine with graduated crystals and transition lenses, which are darkened upon receiving sunlight. The integration of artificial intelligence is another of the buzas of this renewal. The camera and microphones allow to capture photos and videos with a simple voice command, without the need to get the mobile from the pocket or touch the staple button. Among its most useful functions, the Real -time translationwhich is now expanded to six languages, including German and Portuguese. For its part, the context assistant is able to identify the monuments, paintings, sculptures or objects that you are looking at and offer information about them. One of the most striking novelties that will arrive in upcoming updates is conversation Focus, a function that will take advantage of open speakers to highlight the voice of the person with whom you speak even in noisy environments, such as a cafeteria or a park. Price and availability of Ray-Ban Meta (Gen 2) Ray-Ban Meta (Gen 2) are already available in Europe for 419 euros. The distribution has expanded to more countries and will arrive soon to Mexico, India and Brazil. Rayban Meta – Ray -Ban Intelligent Sun Sun Black Black Black, Blue Light Filter, Standard.

An accident that hits its ambitions

by

The flying car advances between factory promises and delivery deadlines, but each trial remembers that security remains in the foreground. In the preparations of the Changchun Air Hallin the northeast of China, two evtol of Xpeng Aero made contact in the air and one ended up on fire when touching earth. Images and videos circulate on the Weibo social network They show the smoke rising on the track. What happened. As Sina collectsthe accident occurred on September 16 at the end of an essay. The devices that practiced a training maneuver collided by not maintaining the right distance. One unit descended safely, while the other was damaged and burned in landing. The company reported that all staff came out unharmed and that emergency teams acted there. Official research has not yet yielded conclusions. Click to see the original publication in Weibo The vehicle and the concept. Xpeng Aeroht has become one of the referents of the so -called low altitude economy. Your most advanced product is the “Land Carrier”a decoupled design car in which the land vehicle and the air module are integrated and separate by an automatic system. The six -wheel car works as a support base, while the aircraft takes off and lands vertically with a six folding arms design. Separations and avoidance. Air operations rely on the premise of maintaining clear distances between aircraft. The vertical, horizontal and temporal intervals are adjusted based on altitude and speed, with generous margins between one flight and another. In the case of Xpeng Aeroht, the company has emphasized sensors and avoidance algorithms, although it is not yet known what role these systems had in this incident. The company itself, According to Sina and Bloomberghe stressed that the definitive cause of the accident cannot be established. It is not clear if the lack of separation was due to a problem of height, to an insufficient longitudinal interval or an operation error. Nor is the influence of weather conditions rule out. 36kr points that witnesses mentioned strong wind in the area. Rapid growth In a short time, Xpeng Aeroht has managed to accumulate a volume of orders around 5,000 units. The industrial project includes A construction factory with capacity for 10,000 flying cars a year, whose development began in October 2024 and that is raised as a large -scale assembly line. The company, integrated into the Xpeng Motors ecosystem, that has just landed in Austriaclaims to have a workforce of more than 1,400 people and a proportion of specialists in engineering and development greater than 80%. Goals and challenges. The accident arrives at a delicate time for Xpeng Aeroht, immersed in an expansion phase and with an eye on mass production from 2026. The incident adds uncertainty about the ability to fulfill that calendar and reinforces the debate on the safety of Evtol. Although the market has shown interest with thousands of reserves, public perception has become more demanding: before thinking about commercial flights, manufacturers must convince that technology is reliable.

A Microsoft Data Center in Mexico collided with the reality of the electricity network. Your solution: use gas generators

by

Artificial intelligence has become daily, but behind each consultation to tools such as Chatgpt either COPILOT There are real buildings that consume a lot of energy and require reliable infrastructure. In that framework, Microsoft announced May 7, 2024 The beginning of operations of its “Central Mexico” data centers region, with several locations in the Querétaro Metropolitan Area. The deployment, however, coexists with very specific tensions: According to the companyat least one of those centers, that of Columbus, cannot benefit from the advantages of the electricity network until mid -2027 and obtained permission to temporarily operate with gas generators. It should be remembered that the proximity of these infrastructure to users is essential: it reduces latency, improves the quality of the service and allows to meet data residence requirements. But that technical advantage depends on something elementary: having an electricity grid capable of sustaining permanent operations and constant cooling. Microsoft stressed the magnitude of its project in the North American country. The new region aims to offer local access to Azure, Microsoft 365Dynamics 365, among other services. The firm also presented the initiative as an “avant -garde” infrastructure aimed at accelerating innovation in the region. The Achilles heel of deployment: energy In a request to the Ministry of Environment delivered in 2023Microsoft acknowledged that, although the data center would connect within the planned deadlines, due to the construction deadlines included in its contract with the Federal Electricity Commission, the energization of the connection would not be ready until the Second quarter of 2027. To save that void, The use of seven generators was approved capable of covering 70% of the demand of the center of Columbus for 12 hours a day, for at least four months. According to Rest of World, Mexico already has about a hundred data centers, with investments that exceed 7,000 million dollars from 2020 by Microsoft, Aws and Google. Querétaro has established itself as the main attraction pole, with 15 facilities that concentrate about 80% of the sector’s energy demand, about 200 MW. The Mexican Institute for Competitiveness projects thatby 2030, the network will face a deficit of 48,000 MWh, more than half of what it produced in 2023. With more than 70 new centers planned in the next five years, the mismatch between installed capacity and electric transmission becomes an obvious threat. The American company has set ambitious environmental goals: Being negative carbon in 2030, eliminating all its historical emissions in 2050 and supplying 100% with renewable energy contracts in 2025. In contrast, in Columbus is the provisional measure of operating with gas generators until it can be fully connected to the network in 2027. What It is not clear is whether these equipment were usedif they remain in operation or what intermediate solution the company will apply in the coming years. Microsoft, for now, has not specified with which energy sources Opera Colón. The launch of the Central Mexico region was presented as a decisive step to accelerate the country’s digital transformation and attract foreign investment. But energy reality introduces a decisive nuance: the infrastructure necessary to sustain that deployment does not advance at the same rate as the technological ambition. The tension between promises of sustainability and limitations of the network is a reminder that the cloud, far from being ethereal, rests on concrete foundations, cables and megawatts that define, in a way, how far artificial intelligence and other services can go.
