Universal will do the competition to Disneyland with Harry Potter and Mario. Disney will counteratacious “turbo-charging” its parks

by

In its annual meeting with shareholders, the Disney CEO of Bob Iger has made ads that cover the entire empire of the producer: of sequelae for its animated franchises to plans for its attraction parks. It is the conducive moment: the competition will be more at odd than ever, especially now that it arrives Epic Universe de Universal To Orlando. Old acquaintances in attractions mode. In the ads that Iger has shared, he has talked about attractions inspired by ‘Cars’,’Avatar‘,’The lion king‘,’ Monsters SA ‘,’ Coco ‘and many other franchises. With this, they set the planned plans of Disney, which in autumn of 2023 announced that it was going to fold the investment in thematic parks: The producer would be spent in this sector that, together with the cruises, is what most benefits the brand, $ 60 billion in the course of a decade. An ambitious plan to spab from the experience section, which Nor is it working as it should. The turbo-carga. This has been defined by Iger himself: “Last year we talked about our plans to boost growth in this segment through strategic investments.” And he continues: “Right now, we have more projects in progress throughout the world than at any other time. Magic Kingdom is experiencing the greatest expansion of its history, with a new area inspired by ‘Cars’ and the expected theme park of the villains. And a thematic area of ​​’Monsters SA’. It will reach Hollywood Studios.” And the lion king, to Paris. To all this are added attractions of ‘charm’ and Indiana Jones in Animal Kingdom. And in California Adventure, new attractions of avengers (the area dedicated to the Marvel heroes will bend their size), ‘Avatar’ and ‘Coco’. Disneyland Paris will arrive the first attraction dedicated to ‘The Lion King’, which will be aquatic and that will accompany Simba on his trip to become king. Some of them already advanced Disney in the past D23, where detailed what would consist Many of these attractions. The competition: Epic Universe. In Disney they are in crisis policy because on May 22, Universal will open in Orlando Epic Universe. It is a theme park divided into five universes, some of them as attractive to the general public as Harry Potter or the outside of Japan version of Super Nintendo World. They will join the Dark Universe, based on the company’s classic monsters, Celestial World and its science fiction and fantasy setting, and another area about ‘How to train your dragon’, which Universal wants to turn into one of its star franchises with the premiere of the real image film. And the rest? Regular, thanks. Being one of the companies dedicated to entertainment more powerful and influential of the moment, and with Well sanitized accounts (especially if we compare them with Warner)we are far from being able to say that Disney is in crisis. But this annual meeting with shareholders has been revealing: before all the news related to the parks, only some sequelae and new animation films have been presented, Like ‘Coco 2’they have not awakened too much enthusiasm. Safe Baza. To this is added that Marvel spends complicated moments: Captain America’s last movie is already one of those who have had Less collection of the MCU Hster. At a time, it is clear that Disney should cover several fronts … and re -bet for a safe trick: the multimillionaire parks business.

Only one of them enjoyed the experience

Running out of wifi or no data connection is one of the worst nightmares for generation Z, since it is the first that has grown in A 100% digital environment. However, the Milllenials and, above all, the members of generation X, have lived part of their lives without current hyperconnectivity. Although it seems crazy, A group of editors of Good Housekeeping He decided to return to those times when the smartphone was not the center of everything and, paradoxically, it was used to call or, at most, to send messages on SMS. The reason? Escape from constant Notification bombardmentsocial networks and the feeling of always “connected”, making your brain detoxify the negative effects of the constant “Infinite Scroll“That predominates in applications installed in smartphones. The challenge: one week without smartphone The idea arose after verifying Digital detoxification need In a world where mobile dependence is almost inevitable. Google Maps to get to the sites without losing us, listen to music or podcast in dead times or be in constant communication with dozens of people at the same time with WhatsApp groups. The protagonist of the article, a millennial addicted to WhatsApp groups, proposed the challenge to her co -workers of different generations: spend a full week with a “Dumb Phone”, such as those used in the 90s and 2000. The response was well received by the participants and many were interested in the experience of disconnecting from the slavery of notifications and Tyranny the Fomo. The only one but found the idea was that the need to stay tied to technology for labor and personal demands. To carry out the experiment, some phones got Basic Nokiafamous for its lasting battery and simplicity. Thus, a Millennial, a member of the X generation and a young woman from the Z generation Zambuller in the “digital disconnection” and did it without float. They did not even make a dump of the agenda, so they could only call those numbers that they remembered or who were getting. X Generation: A Way Without Return Those of us who belong to generation X, more than digital natives, have been digital migrants. That is, we have grown a good part of our life with hardly any technology, but we have been its Inventors and “Early Adopters” that has risen to all the trains of its evolution. Therefore, it is a generation that has become accustomed to technology, but it has not been as dependent as millennials or the Z generation, because it has already lived in a world without WhatsApp, GPS or Spotify. However, the experience was bittersweet. On the one hand, Simon Swift, the editor of the X generation that did the test, claimed to have enjoyed the tranquility of Read a journal to workavoiding negative information overload. That allowed him to reconnect with the real world. However, the difficulty of communicating through text messages and the dependence of physical maps (the bad view, already touched by the years) were frustrating. In addition, the impossibility of playing Classic “Snake” Due to the “too fat” fingers it was a hard blow to nostalgia. “I like to connect with the world around me. In such a dynamic and unprecedented news period, I want to know what is happening. I don’t think I can re -educate my brain In that sense, “said Swift. When honey is proven, it is difficult to give up the candy. Millennials: between the fomo and the return to be productive Florence Reeves-White was the ideologist of the test and the millennial representative in this experience. He confessed to feel panic at the idea of ​​missing important conversations in the chat groups of his friends or not being aware of the latest news. However, the experience turned out to be more positive than expected. Having access to social networks, its productivity increased, dedicating more time to writing, reading and performing activities that really enriched it. In addition, not being constantly communicated with their partner or not having distractions in the dead times, voice conversations with their family and loved ones became more common, creating a different link. Again, as happened to the representative of generation X, the lack of fitness, maps or the impossibility of paying with the mobile, generated inconveniences in their day to day, but the feeling of improve your productivity He has marked this participant who will not hesitate to repeat the experience, although with some nuances. Z generation: This is what they call life? For the representative of the Z generation, it was called Megan Geall, a digital native and intensive user of the smartphone for absolutely everything, the disconnection It was a real challenge. One of the first effects he noticed was that of full attention while seeing a series of Netflix at home. I no longer had the temptation to review social networks while watching the series. The impossibility of accessing social networks also meant a breeze of fresh air in this experience: “It was very nice to be disconnected for a while and not see what others do with their lives, simply live mine,” said the young woman. However, limited options for entertainment and communication of the Dumb Phone who was using some inconveniences. The difficulty in writing text messages, the lack of music in the gym and the impossibility of using Apple Pay were the main obstacles. Despite recognizing some benefits, such as a greater connection with people by having to call them by phone Instead of sending messagesThe young woman concluded that she was not willing to give up the comfort provided by her smartphone.

There are a lot of time apps. Know which one that is most accurate is almost impossible

by

You get up one morning. You look at the application of time on your phone. “100% rain,” or so says. You go to the window and there is a scorching sun illuminating the street. Worse is to consult the application of time, that just 10 or 20% probability of rain and, as soon as you leave, you fall a downpour. The latter is what It has been happening in Spain during the month of Marchone of The rainiest in a long time. Although we blame apps not to predict perfectly, the truth is that interpreting them is not as easy as it seems. How time apps work. Time applications work by combining data from different meteorological models to show us what are the rain forecasts for that day. Each of them is based on a different model, depending on the company behind. These models can be global or regional, having the latter more precision in specific areas. In Spain, Aemet operates with different models such as Arome, MM5 or Reion, although time apps can use models outside our country. Apple and Android. Apple’s time app uses information collected by The Weather Channelsince it has Your own API to provide meteorological data to other apps. If we use an android, such as an Xiaomi, your app works with information from Accuweather. This is precisely what makes each app show us a different fact: each of them is based on the models that it considers, and make predictions on their own. For example, use your own prediction system called Accuweather Minutecast, which combines numerical models with artificial intelligence and real -time radar data to offer hyperlocal forecasts. It does not generate its own weather models from scratch, process information from global models. 100% rain. One of the main problems in the time apps has to do with how they show the information to the user. If we see 70% in the app, probably, let’s understand that the probability of raining in our city is 70%, something that is not completely. In fact, the thing is even more complicated if we go to the forecast for hours and there we see that the percentages are lower than those of the total day. Quite difficult. We start from the basis that the weather prediction It is a complex science due to the dynamic and chaotic nature of the Earth’s atmosphere. Factors such as sudden changes in temperature, pressure, humidity, wind patterns and ocean currents interact intricately, creating a network of interconnected processes difficult to foresee exactly. What is “100%”. There is a common common interpretation with respect to the percentage of probability of rain showing weather applications. It is easy to think that a “100% rain” indicates that it will rain throughout the day throughout the area. The truth is that this 100% means that, in similar weather conditions, it has rained 10 out of 10 times. But it is possible that this new occasion does not do it. The percentage does not determine the rain that will fall, but the statistical mark of how frequent it has been raining in similar conditions. The best way to measure it. The time apps have these limitations, and so they will continue to be until the meteorological measurement system changes. Something that will not happen in the short term. That is why in recent years there is a very booming app: rain radar. Unlike traditional time apps, Rain Alarm is an app that is based on real -time radar data. These radar models do not work in the long term: they use data to make predictions in almost immediate ranges. This is why, with just opening the radar app, we can observe much more precisely the state of the atmosphere. Today, this is the most accurate way of knowing immediately how the weather will behave. And, still, it will still not be accurate. Image | ECMWF In Xataka | Aemet already knows when the storm that is soaking Spain is over. The problem is that another act comes another

They will arrive at hundreds of households this year

There has been a promise that humanoid robots will arrive at our homes to accompany us on a day -to -day basis. For now, the closest thing to what we have are the robotic vacuners, which operate autonomously and are already present in many houses, although they have a lot of robots and absolutely nothing humanoid. Now something begins to change. The Norwegian Startup 1x, backed by OpenAI, has announced that this year will send its humanoid robot neo gamma to “a few hundred or a few thousand” of real homes. His CEO, Bernt Børnich, has confirmed it, In an interview with Techcrunch During the Nvidia GTC 2025 event, where robotics was an absolute protagonist. In the same event, Jensen Huang, CEO of Nvidia, presented a series of ads related to artificial intelligence and robotics. From the laboratory to the living room: a test that is not less. It will not be a commercial launch. Nor is a completely autonomous experience. Neo gamma It will arrive as part of a trial program, still under human control. It will be teleoperated by specialized personnel, who will guide him from remote centers while 1x observes and collects data. But that does not detract from it: it is one of the first attempts to carry a humanoid robot with human form and domestic aspirations to a real home. For Børnich, it is a fundamental step: “We want me to live and learn among people,” he said. The company seeks to understand how the robot reacts in a daily environment, how it adapts to real -life dynamics. The data collected will serve to train their artificial intelligence models, developed internally, despite OpenAi’s technological support. A robot designed to live together: soft design, silent movements. Neo Gamma avoids the appearance of an industrial robot. Instead of exposing cables, gears and metal structures, we wear a clear suit that conceals its mechanics and gives it a closer and less intimidating look. Its design seeks to fit home without disregarding, moving away from cold and mechanical aesthetics that usually accompanies humanoid robots. It is designed to help in domestic tasks, such as ordering, cleaning, taking care of the routine so that humans can devote their time to other things. His hands are designed to manipulate objects with precision and care. His movements, according to 1x, are silent and safe, away from the typical buzz or robotic rattle. In addition, it is equipped with a battery of sensors, cameras and microphones that allow you to read your environment in real time. Robotics enters home. And with her, new questions. All progress entails new questions. And in this case, many revolve around privacy. Although the remote control will presumably be regulated by the terms of the service, it is still a person, on the other side of the connection, which will be seeing and listening to what happens inside the home. It is not a minor detail, and those who participate in the test should be fully aware of it.

Now the app has given them more control over their children’s accounts

by

Tiktok has established itself as una of the most popular applications Among adolescents. Although it is presented as a harmless platform, Full of dancessongs and Life Hacksmore and more voices warn about their possible negative effects on the youngest. Some studies point to an increase in cases of depression and eating disorders, while many parents They express their concern for the time their children spend doing Scroll non-stopneglecting other activities of your day to day. New tools for parents. The Tiktok social network, owned by the Chinese firm Bytedance, has announced New functions aimed at better protecting adolescents. These include the possibility that parents or guardians establish daily and customizable time limits. For example, it is possible to configure a maximum of 30 minutes during the week and expand that time during the weekend. Once the limit is reached, the application will be blocked automatically, and can only be unlocked with a code held by the responsible adult. 11 tricks to dominate Tik tok These tools not only allow to adjust the time of use to each specific case, but also offer parents the option to block the app at any time: during a family meal, school hours or when they consider it appropriate. In addition, they can see who follows their children, who are still and who has blocked them. Soon, the company states, a function will also be enabled so that adolescents can notify their parents every time they denounce a content they consider inappropriate. Parental Control in Tiktok: How to activate new tools for parents. Once the parental control tools are known, many parents will want to know how to activate them to manage the use that your children make of Tiktok. The process is not complicated and only requires fulfilling some basic steps. The first thing is that the father or legal guardian must have a Tiktok account. From there, you must enter your profile (below right), touch the three -line menu icon and access Settings and privacy. Within that section you will find the section Family synchronization. Tiktok will ask if it is the legal tutor. If the child has his mobile by hand, just scan a QR code from that device. If not, you can send an invitation through WhatsApp, Instagram, text messages or any other channel. Once sent, there are 48 hours to accept the link and complete the link. When both accounts are synchronized, the adult, in addition to those mentioned, may establish daily limits of use, control who can contact the minor and decide whether their account is public or private. The above tools. As we said, Tiktok has already launched the new parental control tools in much of the world. However, the users themselves, including adolescents, already had some control options for a long time. Among them stands out the function Time on screenwhich allows you to establish pauses in the use of the FEED of videos and configure reminders to go to sleep. These options can be activated from Settings and privacy > Time on screen. Images | Tiktok In Xataka | The videos of AI have broken the Instagram and Tiktok algorithms.

135,000 years ago, humans had developed a key component of universal culture: language

by

A way of thinking about thousands of languages ​​spoken by humanity is visualizing them as branches of a tree, thus drawing The evolution of these languages over time. If we move forward in time, we will see the diversification of some languages ​​and the death of others. If we invest the time needle we can see the branch or the common trunk that joins some languages ​​with others. For example, if we draw the history of Galician and Romanian, we will see in Latin the common origin of these languages ​​spoken in remote areas of Europe. We can do the same exercise looking for the common trunk between Latin and the Swedish. For this we would have to go to prehistoric times, to a common trunk we call protoindoeuropeo And what would have been spoken Around 5,000 years. However, this does not serve to unite all the languages ​​spoken by humanity in the same tree. We do not know of a link that one languages ​​native to the Americas, the languages ​​of Asia and Oceania or the African languages ​​with the protoindeuropean. We do not even need to leave Europe to find languages ​​without known relationship: we can draw the common origin of the Finn and Hungarian, but we cannot unite these languages ​​to the Indo -European trunk. That leaves us with two possibilities. The first is that perhaps humans began to speak time after beginning the migratory movements that would lead us to adapt to life in various territories, which would imply that several native languages ​​arose independently. That is, there are several independent trees. The second indicates that this common trunk exists, but changes in languages ​​and the absence of written testimony and time have erased all trace of this native language in the known, alive or dead languages. All languages ​​have a common trunk, but perhaps we never find out their characteristics. The question of the original language can be presented as the problem of the egg and the chicken: what happened first, the appearance of speech or geographical disintegration of the human species? The interconnection between language and expansion of humanity is not mere curiosity because answering a question can help us Date more accurately Two of the key events in human evolution. A recent study He analyzed the issue through a review of scientific literature published in the last 18 years. The work examined 15 genetic studies that through different methodologies They tried to answer the question of when the populations of H. sapiensThey began to break down and lose contact with each other. The 15 works included three based on the chromosome information and, the patrilinerally inherited chromosome; Three focused on mitochondrial DNA, inherited matrilinerally; and the rest studied the set of human chromosomes. The team made a meta -analysis, a quantitative study based on the results compiled in the compiled works, to obtain a new estimate of the last era in which in which All humanity shared spaces In the same region. The estimate indicated that this happened about 135,000 years ago. The team concludes from this data that human language had to have an origin prior to this original diaspora. They start from the idea that, if language had not existed in this origin, we should have found any human society without language or, at least, with a radically different communicative form from what we know as speaks. The details of the study were Published in an article In the magazineFrontiers in Psychology. An evolution in several phases But what exactly is speech? According to Explain the team itselfprevious studies had already pointed out that Other hominid speciesprevious to sapiens They had the ability to speak. The nuance is that this does not guarantee the existence of a language, however simple it is. The issue for the team is not when humans, H. sapiens Or other species, they began to emit sounds, but when they began to develop the language “as we know it”, that is, “combining vocabulary and grammar in a system”, a system capable of generating an indefinite amount of expressions based on their own rules. “Human language is quantitatively different because there are two things, words and syntax, which work at the same time to create this Very complex system”, explained in a press release Shigeru Miyagawa, study co -author. “No other animal has a corresponding structure in its communication system. And that gives us the ability to generate very sophisticated thoughts and communicate them with others.” Miyagawa and his team also refer to the archaeological record to support their conclusions. As they explain, the archaeological record that has left us evidence of the existence of the type of complex thought that supports the language, evidence that date back 100,000 years ago in time. The team refers to this to artifacts that denote a “symbolic activity”, such as objects in objects or the decorative use of the ocher, a pigment. We have known for a long time that H. sapiens It has not been the only human species capable of reaching these levels of abstraction. It is perhaps that is why The debate To what extent species like Neanderthals H. Neanderthalensis They could have developed speech or even language Be far from setting up. In your articleThe team indicates that, although the “complex behaviors” such as burials and body decoration They can also be associated with these species, ours would have been the only one to have systematized them throughout the population.

You just have to look at the coal ashes

by

Rare earths have been a very controversial issue in recent months, by the disputes of President Donald Trump with Greenland and Ukraine. This necessary element for Our daily electronic deviceseach time your reservations are more scarce and only is concentrated in few countries. However, new research has managed to find them with the naked eye: in the ashes. The study. Scientists from the University of Texas They have found In industrial waste a rare earth source. The point is that researchers have found that coal ashes contain 8,400 million dollars in rare earths. Any type of ash? The researchers have carried out detailed chemical analysis of the ashes, where the rare earth minerals have separated from the burned ashes to quantify them. The study, conducted in the United States, has concluded that the ashes of the Apalaches basin have a higher rare earth concentration (431 milligrams per kilogram), but only 30% is recoverable with current methods. This situation has occurred because many of the minerals are linked to other substances in the ashes, which hinders their separation. On the other hand, they have found that the ashes of the Powder river basin, although they have a lower concentration of rare earths (264 milligrams per kilogram), have a much greater extraction (70%), since the elements of rare earths are more scattered and are easier to separate from the ash. The process. The investigation has concluded that during The burning of coal, minerals separate from their original ore, facilitating their extraction. In this burning process, it has already eliminated some of the impurities, reducing the need for additional refining steps, which in conventional mining are usually expensive and consume a lot of energy. This process is being used by companies such as Element USA, which They are developing methods To make this extraction profitable. More careful. Scientists They have affirmed that this development is more efficient and less harmful to the environment compared to traditional mining. However, there are other methods that do not want to depend on traditions, such as a Spanish study. In it, CSIC researchers They have developed A recycling procedure of electronic devices to recover the rare earths they contain. A global impact. Researchers have affirmed that there are still technical and economic challenges for a large -scale application. However, if this technology will improve the podium to China, who controls more than half of world production. However, the future is very uncertain to Trump’s policies with The tariff system and Your refusal to foster renewable energies. Image | Pxhere Xataka | The rare earth war has arrived in Spain.

stop it with your reservation for earthquakes

Over the last years the Government of Japan has had to use its emergency rice reserve to face precisely that, emergencies. He did it after The earthquake and tsamot who hit the east of the country in March 2011. And he did it again years later after the fades that made the ground tremble in Kumamoto. Now the authorities have been forced to resort again to its national silos, although not to respond to an unforeseen emergency. Or not at least one in the conventional sense of the word. Its objective is another: stop The increase of rice. A price: ¥ 3,939. That is what cost average at the end of February a sack of five kilos of rice in Japan: 3,939 yen, equivalent to 24.4 euros. It is a lot (a lot) more than just a year ago, when for that same grain a family paid around 2,000 yen (€ 12.4). At the beginning of March the Ministry of Agriculture made a survey again in a thousand stores and found that the 5 kg bag was already in 4,077 yen (€ 25.3). A percentage: 71%. Price climbing is not new. The Japanese have been seeing how to prepare a rice bowl comes out more and more expensivewith increases of 30, 40%… or even more pronounced. At the beginning of 2025 the basic government price index showed that the bags were registering year -on -year increases of the 71% In the 23 districts of Tokyo, a devastating fact for several reasons. The main one, the enormous weight that the grain has in the Japanese diet. Although It has been decreasing Over the years by the influence of foreign cuisine based on wheat flour and its current consumption is far from the peaks reached in the 60sthe per capita grain demand remains more than considerable in Japan: in 2020 It was around 51 kilos. As a reference, in 2022 an average Japanese consumed four more times than an American. One question: Why? The million dollar question. What does that increase in rice respond to? The truth is that there is no One reason. In the price escalation, a meteorology has influenced adverse For crops, the Increased demand In full tourist boom, the panic purchases (encouraged in 2024 for the threat of a “Megaterremoto”), the government policies that affect the crop, the shortage… And something else: The shadow of speculation. “Some companies and individuals have begun to trade with rice as if it were a money game,” I recognized Recently a The New York Times Masayuki Ogawa, professor of agricultural economy at the University of Ussunomiya. The Minister of Agriculture, Silviculture and Fisheries, Taku Etō, He has admitted in public that the situation is “extremely irregular”. “We are producing 180,000 extra tons and we have enough in stock. If one goes to the supermarket you can find rice. But the price is abnormally high: it costs double.” An exit: the auction. Before such a panorama, the Japanese government has opted for A radical output: use their emergency rice reserves, a fund that the country maintains Since 1995 to meet domestic demand in cases of Force Majeuresuch as bad harvests, meteorological disasters or earthquakes. In total round The million tons of grain, a wide stock that was useful for example after the earthquake and the tsamot that affected the islands 14 years ago. On this occasion it has not been necessary to tremble or lift huge waves. It has come that the price index is triggered. And yes It is exceptional. The country Never before He had used the rice reserve to reduce prices. A few days ago the government took auction near 165,000 tons of grain so that they could bid for it professional operators, distributors through which they expect the grain to reach supermarkets. The objective: cover the demand, weave prices and give a break to families. The call aroused the interest of seven bidders who ended up Something more than 90% of the rice available. In total that supposes 141,796 tons of rice An objective: repeat. It will not be the only government movement to reduce the price of rice. Tokyo plans to release 210,000 tons And the ministry already warns that if that measure does not work, it will be distributed even more. “We will do our best to solve the bottleneck in the supply chain and relieve consumer difficulties,” Eto emphasizesthat seeks a “balance between supply and demand”. For now the authorities have already decided to auction others 70,000 tons which remain to achieve their objective of 210,000 T injected into the market. It will do it a priori the last week of March. Once the government has completed the government will have mobilized more than The fifth part of its emergency reserves.

School digitalization was full of mistakes, the same ones we are committing when undoing it

by

Madrid has decided to turn off the screens. And, as we have learned, the community of the community prepare a decree to prohibit Individual use in computer, tablets or mobile class more than half a million students from around 2,000 community and primary education centers of the community. That is, the intention of the Community of Madrid is to expand the veto to the smartphones that are in force to all digital devices. “Back to essence.” Those have been the words of Miguel Ángel García Martínregional government spokesman: “What is limited is individual use, it is not allowed in the classrooms of the Community of Madrid (…) We intend to return to the essence of books, notebooks, dictates, the care of spelling, calligraphy, and all that will be compatible with which Madrid students have those digital skills so necessary.” “There are many countries that once gave the way of introducing digital devices, and are reversing what we could call the essence of traditional education, adapted, yes, to today’s time,” explained (although without giving more details of how training will be articulated in the different digital competences that marks the curriculum). One step further. It is true that the decision of the Community of Madrid, at least apparently, is a step beyond The recommendations approved by the State School Board A year ago (and focused on the use of mobiles). And, indeed, it is something that connects with the general opinion state that has promoted prohibitions of digital devices in dozens of countries and regions around the world. However, that does not mean that everyone is in favor. While there is no lack of stands in favor of the measure (“the digitalization of the classrooms has been a carafal error that we will be recovering years”), neither are concerted schools lack rejecting the idea and calling her from ‘radical’. Changes! Changes? If we look at the content of the decisions it is impossible to deny that, indeed, the decision of the Community of Madrid is a change for many schools. However, if we look at more structural issues we will see more continuities than innovations. Above all, in something that Catherine L’Ecyer said in the worldthat we legislate following fashions and opinion states. It is true that it was not prudent when it comes to demanding solid evidence before implementing the use of tablets in the classroom. As true as we are now withdrawing them without having a strongly founded action plan. A scientific debate that does not end. For each report like that of the National Institute of Public Health of Quebec (“The results from recent scientific data suggest that digital devices in the classroom, used for personal or educational purposes, in the best case do not bet any benefit to learning and in the worst case they have a negative effect”) we find one as This Swedish research (“Mobile prohibitions have no impact on” school “performance). In this context, and beyond the concrete debate, it must be remembered that the true consensus is that The measures that really improve The academic performance and emotional well -being of students are others. The screens are still cosmetic measures, “while those that They could contribute To improve the mental health of our teenagers continue in some drawer. “ How to face the future. One of the historical complaints of the educational system is that the legislation does not stop giving bands: it is not only that the new laws arrive with problems, but does not give time to evaluate its effects before the next government changed them again. It happened with pedagogical approaches, With bilingualism. And is happening with the problem of digitalization of classrooms. For this reason, what begins to be unplayable is to look for ways to introduce changes guided by available evidence.

Tesla Cybertruck’s landing is buying all ballots to become one of the most bizarrest markets viewed so far. The electric SUV has gone through situations of all kinds, both for better and for worse. But in recent times the news about, indeed, how bad things are. The last example is a call to mass review. So massive that it forces to go through the workshop to each and every one of its specimens. The last call to review. It is believed that it only affects 1% of the vehicles but the NHTSSA (in charge of traffic safety in the United States) No choice has remained: All Tesla Cybertruck manufactured between November 13, 2023 and February 27, 2025 have to go through the workshop. The reason is as simple as some of its body steel panels can end up detaching from the vehicle. Obviously, the defect is especially dangerous if the fall is produced, which has forced to call 46,096 Tesla Cybertruck affected by this problem. A defect in glue. The problem is found in the decorative molding covered by pillar A and that extends to the rear area where the roof drop ends. The adhesive that fixes that piece may not be enough to guarantee its integrity and, therefore, the piece could fly running. Remember in The Drive that the problem has been reported by the sufficient number of people so that the company had to stop the assembly line a few days ago to apply a solution and that, obviously, its pieces are not falling along the way. “Indestructible”. When Elon Musk presented the car, he spoke of an “indestructible” body. Something more than a year later, there are only bad news around this description. To start because if a car is indestructible It’s a bad signal. Especially if you look at the tesiture of suffer an accident. Cars deform with the purpose of absorbing the energy of impact. Shock tests showed that a cybertruck that clashes against a wall absorb a very low amount of energyto the point of breaking the rear axle instead of absorbing the blow in its front area. But, in addition, we are seeing that it is not “indestructible.” At least as far as their decorative panels are concerned because it is not the first time that the Cybertruck have to be called to review because some of their panels are falling. In June 2024 there were 11,688 vehicles Those who passed in the workshop because a rear molding could be part of an incorrectly applied adhesive. Click on the image to go to the video. The eternal adhesive problem. The problem of moldings has focused the latest call calls but have not been the only ones that have starred in the Tesla car workshop. Months before, in April 2024, an accelerator problem also forced 3,878 vehicles will go through the workshop. Again, the adhesive used did not correctly fix the piece that is stepped on when the driver accelerates. That piece could detach and be located in the upper part, applying unwanted force on the pedal and, therefore, accelerating the car. It seems also that the cold is especially problematic for the moldings used in the car. As you can see In this videothere are drivers checking that when temperatures are especially low, the pieces are more likely to part. To the workshop! As we have seen, the use of adhesives has been especially problematic for the company but, of course, it has not been the only stumbling block that they have had to deal with in Tesla. In their first year in the market they called for revision up to seven times their owners. Collect in Motorpasion that in 2024 some of them were solved via Ota, such as problems with tire pressure sensors, but for others such as the fall of the Windshield molding There was no choice but to go through the workshop. The cameras and forced another update. A controversial landing. And all the above must be added that the car has not stopped adding controversies since its arrival. To start because it reached A much more expensive price of what has been expected despite having less autonomy of the fiancee. And yet First place among luxury vehicles best selling. Of course, those who wanted to test their SUBTERRENE CAPABILITIES They got the surprise that I had some problems outside the asphalt. Nor should those who decided to camp. A brake in sales? Nothing happens, it is sold The same much cheaper car removing a pair of moldings. Elon Musk’s car. The Tesla Cybertruck can boast something else: having become the vehicle that best defines the figure of Elon Musk. The car is excessive and the accumulated controversies have raised a Ultranza Defense Movement of their abilities.
