It has been raining in Andalusia since February 28. That is to say, As they said from Storm Málagathat is “15 consecutive days registering precipitation at some point.” But the thing does not end there, because it looks like this streak “could be extended for at least 8 more days.” What is happening in Andalusia? What is happening in Spain this March? The great Atlantic game. In recent days, Aemet Special fact emphasis In what we have been repeating for days: that a “anticyclone, displaced to northern Europe and another to the south of the Azores, (created) a wide corridor that allows the entrance of Atlantic storms from west to this.” On the one hand, the anticyclone to the north facilitates the circulation of these storms to low latitudes; On the other, the South Anticyclone facilitates the transport of humid and warm air from the Caribbean. Actually, it is nothing mysterious. In fact, it is A phenomenon relatively common that usually gives us great joys. What is happening now is that the pieces have conceded perfectly: the storms are powerful, they are well directed and the hall is lasting a more than considerable time. So much time that many farmers have already activated panic protocols. As we said a few days ago, “too much water suddenly creates problems.” The best example is Huelva: Strawberry crops can begin to rot (or infect with fungi) in full campaign. Yes, they are small problems if we compare them with the years of drought that we have been dragging, but They are problems after all. Problems that point out that, as usual, We do not have the necessary infrastructure nor well thought out plans. And what can we expect in the next few days? On paper and although it will continue raining in some areas of the country, the time time will give us a small truce. However, As Marta Almarcha points outthe latest updates suggest that new storms will arrive. The same Monday, without going any further, a new one will enter the southwest. And so again and again until at least next Friday (which is when). What we know from Monday. I would not want to close the subject without commenting what we know about the Borrasca on Monday; of Laurencethe twelfth storm of high impact of the season. Above all, because (in the Atlantic aspect) the rains can become very intense. In points of Huelva, Cádiz and the central system more than 100 l/m² can be collected in 24 hours. Again. We also have to keep in mind that all this water must be added a problem: the thaw. The subsidiary fronts of Konrad have left (or leave) enough snow in low levels. The rain will help melt that snow and that will be a “more problem” In the river flow.

The Japan government has announced that it will invest 200,000 million yen (about 1.5 billion dollars) to accelerate the development and commercial production of Perovskita solar panels, a technology of Japanese origin that could be their best opportunity for Challenge China in the global market of renewable energies. The bet is monumental. With this strong public investment, the Japanese authorities seek that the production of photovoltaic cells of Perovskita is equivalent to the capacity of 20 nuclear reactors by the year 2040. To achieve this, the Perovskita would mean a paradigm shift in the energy economy of Japan and the global geopolitics of clean energy. Light, flexible and very Japanese. Perovskita is a crystalline material with the ability to absorb a lot of light which can be manufactured in ultrafine layers based on raw materials more affordable than silicon. Perovskita’s solar cells were invented by Japanese scientist Tsutomu Miyasaka while working in Fujifilm. Japan Bet on movies of approximately one millimeter thick. One of the greatest values of this type of panel is its versatility. Due to their fine thickness and reduced weight, they can be installed on complex surfaces, such as roofs with little load capacity, buildings walls, transport stations or even vehicles. In a country with such little flat and usable land as Japan, these advantages could be decisive to boost solar energy beyond the large traditional photovoltaic parks. The equivalent of 20 nuclear reactors. Japan has marked a very demanding calendar. The goal of producing energy equivalent to 20 nuclear reactors by 2040 is framed in the commitment that between 22% and 29% of the country’s total electricity generation comes from solar energy by then. At present, solar energy represents only 10% of its energy mix. To fulfill this road map, the government has granted subsidies of up to 1 billion dollars to Sekisui Chemicalone of the leading conglomerates in the development of Perovskita. They add up to the 500 million dollars already invested in the research and development of technology and other funds that would ensure the supply chain. Iodine is an essential component in the manufacture of Sovskita and Japan solar cells is one of the world’s world producers. The technical and economic challenges. One of the biggest technical challenges for Perovskita solar panels is moisture degradation. Sekisui He says he developed a sealed with specialized resins to prevent water between and accelerate deterioration. As for the economic challenges, the main unknown is how long it will take to lower manufacturing costs to competitive levels, taking into account that producing flexible Perovskita panels is between three and four times more expensive than making crystalline silicon panels, which have been lowering the price year after year thanks to the Huge production capacity of China. Japan hopes that thanks to mass production, the price of these new panels will become comparable to that of traditional ones. Reduce China dependence. In the end, it’s about that. China leads overwhelmingly the manufacture of solar panels conventional silicon, concentrating about 85% of the global production of photovoltaic cells and about 80% of the polysilic that they use. Japan, like other countries, depends largely on Chinese technology. The defenders of the Japanese bet see in the Perovskita a historical opportunity to break that hegemony. This material dispenses with silicon and uses iodine, whose main world producer, next to Chile, is Japan, thus reducing bottlenecks and dependency risks. Not only Japan develops Perovskitas. China too He is trying to win Japan In his own game. There are different variants of Perovskita and, while Japanese laboratories put all their efforts in ultrafine and flexible films, China has quickly advanced in hybrid models (more efficient silicon-butrovskite tandem cells) with thicker glass coated glass modules. Although both regions compete with the same material in mind, the market could end up segmented in applications: in Japan, covered and facades; In China, large solar parks or double -layer panels for urban environments.

In the summer of 2008 Apple made a great launch, one colossal and one that was one of the greatest disasters in its history. You probably remember the first two (the iPhone 3G and, above all, the App Store), but perhaps not what was that disaster. It is normal: they got us almost forgotten about that. That disaster was mobilemethe email platform that sought to compete with Exchange or with the Blackberry systems. However, its operation was An absolute disasterwith service drops and unexpected charges to user credit cards. So terrible was what David Pogue, an known editor of The New York Times, changed the name to Mobilemess (playing with “Mess”, “mess” in English “). Two years later Mobileme was kaput. It was something later when we knew how that disaster was managed internally. In 2011 Fortune published an article in which they precisely told how shortly after the launch, Steve Jobs called the Mobileme team to a meeting: “According to a participant in the meeting, Jobs entered dressed with his characteristic black neck jersey and blue jeans, gathered his hands and asked a simple question: “Can anyone tell me what Mobileme is supposed to do?” After receiving a satisfactory response, he continued: “And why don’t you do it?”. During the next half hour, Jobs rebuked the group. “You have stained Apple’s reputation,” he told them. “You should hate them for having disappointed you mutually.” Public humiliation especially enraged Jobs. Walt Mossberg, the influential gadget columnist from the Wall Street Journal, had criticized Mobileme. “Mossberg, our friend, doesn’t write good things about us anymore,” said Jobs. In the act, Jobs appointed a new executive to direct the group. “ History showed how for Jobs that ruling, now practically forgotten, had a capital importance. But that was the Apple before. Something smells in Apple John Gruber, well -known analyst and responsible for the Dary Fireball blog, I published this week A worrying analysis of Apple’s situation. It was titled “Something is rotten in the state of Cupertino”, and in it explained how different this Apple is now to which at that time managed Steve Jobs. This expert focused on what happened with Apple Intelligence in general and with the new version of Siri enhanced by the particular. In Apple they are clear followers in generativeand it does not seem that this will change in the short term. Apple Intelligence functions are limited and very modest, and while the greats of technology and various startups do not stop surprising us with new advances and increasingly striking functions, in Apple they continue with an approach that seemed interesting (very focused on privacy) but that is being disappointing in its exasperating deployment. But the really worrying thing is what happened with Siri. After the wwdc last year They announced that “Siri will be able to offer intelligence adapted to the user and the information of his device. For example, a user can say:” Play that podcast that Jamie recommended you, “and Siri will locate and reproduce the episode, without the user having to remember if he was mentioned in a text or in an email.” But both that and other promising options of Siri were only part of an empty speech, because There was never a public demonstration of those options. The only place where we could see it was in a pre -recorded demo “Not live,” in which Siri did all that Apple said he could do. As Gruber explained: “What Apple showed about the next” personalized Siri “in the WWDC was not a demo. It was a conceptual video. Conceptual videos are shit, and a sign of a company in disorder, if not in crisis.” Not only that: in September They returned To promote that future theoretical with an advertisement in which Siri understood the personal context – in what situation we were – to respond to a request. A few days ago Apple announced without more than that option it would not arrive until at least next year. Apple not only did not demonstrate in public these new Siri options, even in a preliminary version: the only thing we could see were conceptual videos about how the characteristic should work. And that announcement with Bella Ramsey – actress famous for her role in ‘The Last of Us’— has been withdrawn from YouTube this week without more. Are Too bad signsand all point to the same: to a fiasco. One worrying, because Apple did not do these things. He has rarely promised the launch of products and then back. It happened for example With the famous wireless load basebut this was a minor accessory. Siri’s dimension had, which is a theoretically crucial component for Apple to compete in the AI field. And that leads us to ask what is happening in Apple. In the last 30 years the company has managed to build an enormously solid reputation and extraordinary credibility. People choose their products because they “simply work” – with many quotes -, and despite some more or less important slips –Hello, butterfly keyboardhello Throttling-, their products continue to stand out for their reliability. Apple’s credibility begins to make waters But that credibility staggers now and joins other signals that can be worrisome. We have been waiting for years for Apple to throw its new disruptive product, but They have never achieved it. It was not his Apple Watch – despite being a very popular product, such as the airpods – and of course They have not been the vision pro. Supposedly They canceled their ‘Project Titan’ And its intentions – just officers – to develop an ‘Apple Car’, but it is even more striking that the fact that two years have arrived since Chatgpt arrived and the most powerful company on the planet can only boast an assistant who Rewrite the emails or that generates cartoons. It is terrible. Source: Trendline. Apple’s situation also seems to be reflected in sales that remain colossal, but also They seem to have stagnated … Read more
The many joys that RTVE is receiving In terms of audience They have a reverse in the form of Continuous conflicts with the Treasury. And it seems that we have a new drama in perspective: there is a mismatch in VAT contributed by the entity that could cause, According to the worldan “economic breakdown” of up to 739 million euros. Millions in losses. It is being a complicated year for RTVE in economic matters. In January of this year, President José Pablo López appeared for the first time before the Parliamentary Control Commission and recognized losses of 30 million in the budgetary exercises of 2023 and 2024, which would have to be covered with the reserve funds destined for this purpose by the SEPI. However, its management has been valued very positively: in May 2024 its predecessor in office, Cascajosa Concepción, already warned of the red numbers of RTVE’s accounts, which some media like the world They encrypted in those 30 million that have not increased during López’s management. More tensions. However, the conflict with the Treasury due to VAT is somewhat greater. “A disparity of criteria is maintained in relation to the supported VAT that must be considered deductible” affirms the memory of accounts, and that refers to a conflict that dates back to 2018, coinciding with the arrival of the PSOE to the Government YLA controversial entry into the presidency from RTVE by Rosa María Mateo. It was then that the Treasury initiated an inspection against several public televisions when they considered that they had to pay VAT for the subsidies they received TVE believes he doesn’t have to pay. Since then, RTVE considers that it is not obliged to pay the VAT that is claimed, relying on a judgment of the European Court of Justice around a case in Bulgaria that supports the exemption of VAT. This same criteria was applied in Spain in 2024 in the case of the Television of Castilla-La Mancha. But RTVE’s problems with VAT do not end there: not only is the problem of how this tax pays, but how it deduces it. VAT deductions. There are three open procedures with TVE on this last topic, and understand three periods: From January 2015 to October 2017 November 2017 to December 2021 From January 2022 to December 2022 TVE’s forecasts are always optimistic, and believes that the Treasury must reintegrate money into the three processes: 255 million, 151.95 million and 42 million, respectively. There are precedents: in June 2024, the National Court sentenced that the Treasury had to return 140 million euros to RTVE, relieveing in this way The complicated RTVE accounts. Changes, changes. All these conflicts coincide over time with a very marked tone change in the chain: José Pablo López has appointed as TVE number 2 to Sergio Calderónwhich is undertaking a renewal of the contents that It is not going to end in Broncano (An acquisition of the previous directive), but already plans to attack the afternoons of the chain, giving it somewhat more modern airs. All if the budgets, immovable since 2009they allow it. Header | RTVE In Xataka | The controversy between Pablo Motos and David Broncano will not end soon: both of them are working
Let’s explain How it works and how to avoid the scam of the false winner On Facebook. It happens when you participate in some kind of raffle in this social network, and the scammer will respond to your comment to make you believe that you are the person you have won. We are going to start the article explaining the way in which these deceptions work and some of the variants you can find. And then we will tell you how you can avoid falling into these traps. How this scam This deception works When you have participated in a Facebook contest Require you to leave a comment. You know, one of those in which you ask you to mention something or leave a comment in some way to participate. So what the cybercriminal does is answer your message saying that you have won. Will use an account in which or hide who is or directly get through the artist or entity that is doing the raffle. In your comment, it is normal for this person I leave you a link To supposedly access your prize. This link will take you to a website designed to deceive you and steal data with forms to fill out to collect your prize, and in some cases also to steal your account or steal money. This type of deception has been on Facebook for a long time, and There are several different types to those who can face. His way of proceeding is similar, but his ability to deceive yourself by making someone vary. There are some that are quite simple and easy to distinguish, but there are others in which cloning names and profile photos, and it can be easier to snack in them. In the end, with what these scammers play is with your desire to carry a contest. When you receive the notification you will see the falsified name and image image and some first words of congratulations, and that can push you to press and act in a precipitous way. How to avoid this deception The most important thing if someone responds to a comment with which you participate in a contest and tells you that you have won is Verify the information with the real account in whose publication you commented. When these raffles are made, a publication is always made announcing the winners, and if they have not done it verifies the times and how long they have given to participate. The important thing is that Don’t rush clicking on links. In fact, normally They will not tell you to tell you that you have wonjust a new publication is going to be made. Therefore, by default you should suspect these messages. Be very careful if you write to you by private message That I get to Messenger. In many cases the scammers will write you directly. Do not trust if apparently it is the same accountbecause both the name of an account and its profile image usually falsify you.

Several weeks after its launch it is still very difficult to find in the stores a family graphics card GeForce RTX 50 with a price aligned with its official cost. The easiest model to get with a price Similar to the marked by Nvidia It is the GeForce RTX 5070but the others or have an important extra cost or are not available. In this scenario it is understandable that users who have decided to get one of these graphics cards are disappointed. Many of you have clearly expressed it in The comments of our articlesand forums dedicated to PC hardware are full of users They complain due to the low availability of the new NVIDIA graphics cards. Given the circumstances, the company led by Jensen Huang has been forced to face with the purpose of appeasing players and trying to explain what is happening. This is Nvidia’s response As we can see in the graphics that we publish on the cover of this article, Nvidia says that during the first five weeks after the launch has distributed twice the graphics cards of the GeForce RTX 50 family that on its day of the range GeForce RTX 40. However, this explanation deserves a calm analysis. And, as they point out in Tom’s hardware and Redditthis comparison does not scrupulously reflect what is happening. During the first five weeks of the launch of the GeForce RTX 40, only the RTX 4090 was available Jarred Walton, one of Tom’s hardware editors, explains very well: During the first five weeks after the launch of the GeForce RTX 40, only the RTX 4090. This graphics card arrived on October 12, 2022, and the RTX 4080 landed on November 16, just five weeks later. All users know that RTX 4090 is not an adequate graphic solution for a wide range of players or for its price or for their benefits. However, during the first five weeks after the launch of the GeForce RTX 50 family, the four graphics cards that are currently available: the RTX 5090, the RTX 5080, the RTX 5070 TI and the RTX 5070 arrived. The first two landed together on January 30, 2025, while the GeForce RTX 5070 TI arrived on February 20. Finally, the GeForce RTX 5070 appeared almost at the end of this period: on March 5. If we have all this present it is reasonable to conclude that the comparison made by Nvidia It is not balanced. Not even accepting the possibility that this company has added the RTX 4080 to the figure of the GeForce RTX 40 family. Hopefully both availability and prices are normalized as soon as possible for the good of users.
