a domestic ecosystem that you cannot escape

by

We are in Munich to attend the presentation of Xiaomi. There are spotlights illuminating Xiaomi 15t Pro And at the entrance of the auditorium it is the pair of Su7 ultra Those who wear all eyes. But something catches my attention: At the door there is a huge Trojan horsewhich leads these lines. Remember this data. In the presentation, the brand shouts its specifications: Collaboration with Leica. Periscopic telephoto. 3,200 brightness nits. “Interesting, but secondary,” I think. The biggest announcement that Xiaomi is doing here is not measured in pixels or focal lengths, but in The cubic meters of conquered domestic space. Xiaomi has just entered the European appliance market. Neveras, washing machines, air conditioners. Far beyond air fryers and whippers. It is part of the great jump that the company is making. Those who a decade ago sold regulators at 150 euros and competed in price, five months ago They left me speechless with their ultra Exposed in Shanghai, competing from you to you with Porsche. And now you are executing a maneuver that reminds a lot of Huawei’s story After US sanctions: The construction of a self -sufficient and vertically integrated technological universe. Huawei responded to need: sanctions forced him to create Harmonyos and its own ecosystem. Xiaomi acts, rather, from what we could call an “calculated ambition”. We have been seeing this slide in their presentations for years, with a somewhat oversized pride: The photo is from the Munich event and the 15T, but this same mantra we have been watching it for a long time in all Xiaomi presentations. Image: Xataka. Oversized because ‘Human X Car x Home ‘stayed somewhat lame in the last two areas. In 2024 they solved the second and now they just solved the third. They just announced a fridge, the Mijia Refrigerator Cross Door 502L. In addition to a fridge, it is a 502 -liter data terminal installed in the kitchen. A space that was previously foreign to the brand. It is important because Xiaomi is well understanding human behavior and technological inertia: When you install an Xiaomi fridge that communicates perfectly with your washing machine, which in turn is synchronized with Your vacuum robot And with your TV, you have crossed a psychological and economic threshold that it is difficult to return. The cost of that change – Substack is crowded with Reflections on the famous’Switching Cost ‘– It is not calculated by the price of the new mobile, but in the complete disintegration of your domestic ecosystem. What Apple is doing with devices, wearables and services, but applied to ‘HUMAN X CAR X HOMand‘. With the car we saw something similar, and with the glasses, too. As with the best ecosystems, CAda device is a node that reinforces general architecture. The smartphone (now that 15t pro that monopolizes holders) is only the epicenter, but intelligence is distributed throughout the rest of the house. The one that captures and processes the flow of data that emanates from everyday life. Each interaction with the fridge, each washing cycle, each thermostat adjustment, feeds a system that learns, predicts and at some point will anticipate needs. The comparison with Huawei is inevitable. Both have demonstrated transformation capabilities. Huawei building its strength in response to an external siege. Xiaomi, executing its planned territorial expansion. His entry into Europe with this range of “Aiot appliances” shows an ambition that goes beyond the market share: they want to change the nature of the connected home. Image: Xataka. Europe has a fragmented appliance market. It is dominated by centennial marks like Bosch and Siemens, there are local phenomena like Balay, the arrival of Hisense has noticed and Samsung pushes, with more insistence than Tino, focusing on technology. Unique opportunity, especially if The European consumer, traditionally conservative choosing large appliances, begins to value more connectivity and energy efficiency (Xiaomi proudly exhibits the A +++ certificates in their air conditioners) above the brand tradition. If someone believes that the European consumer clings to their trusted brands, and more if they are local, you just have to remind you What happened to BQ in 2018: He clung to that idea as an argument against the arrival of Xiaomi and that was one of his last decisions before he died. In addition, Xiaomi’s great danger comes from its execution speed. In three years they went from having no automotive division to produce the SU7a vehicle that not only competes but in many aspects surpasses the giants of the sector. Now, that same speed is applied to the home. The vacuum robot with 20,000 pa for suction. The washer with AI that adjusts the cycles according to the type of tissue. The refrigerator with customizable temperature areas. Everything points to a future where the distinction between intelligent device and traditional appliance simply disappears. But there is a more disturbing dimension in this conquest: the concentration of technological power in the hands of a few companies – mainly Chinese and American— Ask questions about privacy, digital sovereignty and technological dependence. When your fridge, your washing machine, your car and your phone respond to the same company, you have given a level of control over your daily life that would have been unthinkable makes a generation. The data that flow from these devices are information, are power. AND In that technological crossroads is Europto. Without its own technological giants capable of competing in this new scenario of total integration, you must choose between American ecosystems (Google, Apple, Amazon …) and the Chinese (Xiaomi, Huawei … and soon perhaps Byd with their own home automation ambitions). Each choice implies more than a preference for consumption, it is an implicit geopolitical alignment. Today’s technology is much more complex than ten years ago. That is why this presentation in Munich will be something that I will remember within a few years. It is not so much the launch of new products, as any other presentation, but The turning point in the way Chinese technology continues to … Read more

The Spanish rail giant had planned to build a lightwail between Jerusalem and the West Bank. Now has a problem

by

The Basque CAF It is found In the international view for its participation in the Jerusalem Railway Project, which connects Israeli settlements considered illegal by the United Nations. The pressure on the company has intensified after appearing cited in An official report of the UN on companies that benefit from the occupation. A dispute project. CAF has been part of a consortium with the Israeli Shapir since 2019 to build and expand the red and green lines of the Light Jerusalem Rail. The project, valued at 1.8 billion euros, includes 27 kilometers of new roads and 50 stations that connect settlements in the West Jerusalem. The Basque company would take more than 500 million euros for construction and equipment, in addition to its participation in management for 15 to 25 years. Why is it problematic. The UN Special Rapporteur, Francesca Albanese, has included to CAF in its report “of the economy of occupation to the economy of the genocide”, presented before the Human Rights Council. According to the document, these infrastructure “contribute to the maintenance and consolidation of illegal settlements” and connect the colonies with Israel “while excluding and segregating the Palestinians.” The Human Rights Council itself declared the project illegal in 2016 and 2017. The pressure intensifies. Amnesty International has been asking CA for years to leave the project. “CAF cannot continue looking the other way and not meet international recommendations,” affirms Esteban Beltrán, director of the NGO in Spain. The organization also claims the Spanish government and the Basque Government, a shareholder of the company, to evaluate the CAF links with “the illegal behavior of Israel.” Others are retiring. The case It is not isolated. In 2024, the Catalan Comsa withdrew from the consortium that had won the construction of the blue line of the Jerusalem tram. The Basque Acerera Sidenor also announced that it will stop serving steel to Israeli companies. International funds such as the Norwegian sovereign have retired their participations from Shapir, a partner of CAF, and the manager Storeband excluded CAF from his portfolio for his participation in the project. CAF’s response. The company maintains in its sustainability reports that “no violation of human rights has been detected” derived from their participation and describes the territories as “object of political controversy.” However, for international organizations, CAF is obviating the resolutions of the UN Security Council, the European Union and the International Court of Justice on the illegality of settlements. Between the lines. The project places CAF at a crossroads between commercial interests and international pressure. Your shareholders include to the Basque Government, Kutxabank, the Matrix of the Mayoral Textile and the workers themselves with 25% of the shares. Meanwhile, the geopolitical context has hardened after the attacks of October 7 and the Israeli response in Gaza, increasing international scrutiny over any company linked to occupied territories.

NASA is so obsessed with defeating China that, instead of delaying its next flight to the moon, it has advanced it

by

It seemed like him Artemis program It was intended to be delayed again and again, but NASA’s last movement betrays the enormous geopolitical pressure of the moment. Artemis II, the mission with which the United States will return to lunar orbit for the first time in more than 50 years, is no longer scheduled for April 2026. They have advanced the launch window to February 5. A declaration of intentions. This two -month advance is not a simple recalibration of the calendar of the Artemis missions. It is the NASA’s evening response to the feeling that the United States is staying behind the Methodical Lunar Program of China. NASA recognizes that “there is a desire that we are the first to return to the surface of the moon,” and Artemis II is a first step. The mission without a launic had been postponed from 2024 to 2025, and then to “not before April 2026”. Now the launch window opens two months before: on February 5, 2026, leaving as a deadline “not later April 2026”. Solving the ghosts of Artemis I. To understand why this advance is significant, you have to remember why Artemis II was delayed first. The main cause was the thermal shield of the Orion ship. After the return of the mission without crew Artemis I in 2022, NASA’s engineers found a disturbing surprise: the Orion shield had lost pieces of protective material. The gases generated by the heat of the reentry did not dissipate as planned, creating an overpressure that started fragments of the shield. After almost two years of research, NASA says having understood and solved the problem with “maximum trust.” Of course, the solution is quite simple: they have modified the trajectory of the ship in their return to the earth to prevent the high temperatures that caused the failure. Next to him, NASA has solved other minor failures such as liquid hydrogen leaks that plagued the launch attempts of Artemis I. The second space race. “The administration has asked us to recognize being in what is commonly called a second space race,” said the buliesha Hawkins, NASA’s attached administrator. His current boss, Sean Duffy, agency administrator and Trump’s Secretary of Transportation, has a more direct rhetoric: “We are going to win the Chinese on the moon.” The fear in Washington is that China, which plans to send its first astronauts to the lunar surface in 2030, the American Mission Artemis III is ahead. While the Artemis program accumulated delays (largely due to the slowness of the Spacex Starship ship, necessary for the Aunidation of Artemis III), the Chinese program advanced with a firm step and without making a lot of noise. Experts in China’s spatial capacities such as Dean Cheng have come to affirm which is “quite likely that the Chinese terrify on the moon before NASA.” Advance Artemis II (the previous step without alansimiza) is the form that NASA has to demonstrate that it is still in the game. What is Artemis II. Its main objective is to certify that the Orion ship and the SLS rocket can take humans to the moon safely. For ten days, American astronauts Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover and Christina Koch, as well as Canadian Jeremy Hansenthey will go around the moon without landing, following a free return trajectory that will bring them back to the earth. The mission also has an important symbolic burden. They will be the first humans in more than 50 years to leave the orbit low terrestrial, traveling further than any other human being in history, more than 9,000 kilometers from the hidden face of the moon. From this unique perspective, They will carry out crucial geological observationsphotographing craters and old lava flows. They could even be the first humans to see with their own eyes the eastern basin, a gigantic structure on the boundary between the visible face and the hidden face of the moon. Their descriptions and data will be vital for the alunage of Artemis III. The great irony. The advance of Artemis II is a calculated movement. NASA shows the world that it has overcome its technical problems and is ready to accelerate. Artemis II is not just a step towards the moon, it is a sprint in a geopolitical career and for the control of lunar resources. The great contradiction is that, while NASA accelerates the overflight of Artemis II, its star mission, the alun of Artemis III planned for 2027, remains in serious trouble. Just a few days ago, the agency’s security advisors panel launched a blunt warning: They doubt that the modified version of the Spacex Starship is ready on time. His estimate is that he could accumulate a “year” delay. Therefore, the result of this space race is still open.

United Kingdom will be just the first client. Spain raises a colossus in Galicia to build war ships like churros

by

While Spain does not count With f-35 fighterssoon he will do it with what will be a source of pride for the nation: The Bonifaz frigatefirst of the F110 class, whose launch took place in the navantia shipyards in Ferrol. In fact, Navantia has received a commission that will place her in the world showcase as a reference construction: United Kingdom has asked her to do her Your next frigate. In the background: a plan to become the elite of the sector. A naval milestone from Spain. Navantia is carrying out in Ferrol the largest investment of the last hundred years in a shipyard in Spain: the creation of the Digital Block Factory (FDB) conceived to place military naval construction in the world technological avant -garde. With a budget of 110 million eurosan area of ​​45,000 square meters, 500 meters in length and 90 wide, the plant will double the productive capacity of the Galician shipyard and mark the final step towards the model of shipyard 4.0where automation, artificial intelligence and robotization will be protagonists. The day. Its inauguration is scheduled for the First quarter of 2026after a construction process that began in March 2024 and has included the creation of a digital twin to monitor in real time the progress of the works, control cost deviations and anticipate failures. Unpublished productive capacity. The new factory will allow Navantia to manufacture in Only one year the blocks equivalent to a air holder such as Juan Carlos Itwo F-18 frigatesfour European corvettes EPCfour maritime action ships (BAM) or up to two combat supply ships (BAC), in addition to logistical support ships such as the FSS that already produces For the Royal Navy. In practical terms, the plant may generate simultaneously The blocks of two frigates, with a production cadence of one section every ten days (about 26 per year), which will reduce construction deadlines by 20-25%. In the case of the F-110, about 85% From the structure of each unit it will be manufactured in the FDB, while the singular blocks (such as the dome of the sonar or the multimission mast) will continue to be built in the traditional workshops. This scheme will simultaneously add the commitments to the Spanish Navy and the eventual Export contractsa strategic aspiration in the current context of International Rearme, where the armed demands to have their ships in the shortest possible time. Automation, AI and Robotics. The factory has been designed under an optimized workflow scheme, divided into three major areas: steels, prearmament and flip. In the first they will be installed Robotized welding lines Equipped with hybrid laser technology, guaranteeing higher structural dimensional precision and robustness. In the prearmament phase, the subblocks will be transferred autonomously by vehicles not manned with IoT sensors, and robots will be integrated for welding, manipulation and palletization that will work collaboratively with the operators. Finally, in the voltage zone, the blocks will be assembled with subcomponents previously manufactured in an automated assembly system that combines speed, flexibility and reliability. The whole process will be supported by a system of Complete digital traceability: Each piece will generate information associated with its digital twin, which will automatically readjust the following phases and detect real -time deviations using smart cameras connected to 3D models. The Innovation and Robotics Center. Navantia digital transformation is not limited to the plant itself. He Innovation and Robotics Center (CIR), directly linked to the factory, acts as technological nucleus where the latest innovations in automation, automatic inspection, advanced welding and dimensional control are tested and validated. The CIR not only develops solutions applicable to immediate production, but also works as Training and Transfer Space of knowledge, ensuring that advances are quickly integrated into productive processes. The ecosystem, reinforced With collaborations With the University of La Coruña and with specialized consultants, it guarantees, a priori, that the Ferrolano shipyard remains on the border of naval innovation. Labor impact. From the company it has been ensured that, despite the high level of automation, the factory will not involve a template reduction. On the contrary, it will maintain a volume of Between 270 and 400 workers In turn, including both direct employees of Navantia and personnel from auxiliary companies. In each turn they will operate Between 300 and 325 peopleconfirming that robotization is raised as a tool for support to human capital and not as a substitute. The combination of specialized manual labor and intelligent systems ensures that flexibility is maintained to meet specific demands of each naval program. Reference at the military plane. Once finished, the FERROL FDB It will not have equivalent in the world of military construction. The only comparable reference is the Alemán Meyer Werft Shipyarddedicated to luxury cruises and has been gradually applying automated systems for fifteen years. Navantia, however, will be the first company to move this industrial logic War shipswhich, according to the company, will allow you to offer a competitive, sustainable and higher quality product in a sector where the speed of delivery is practically a strategic requirement. In addition, the possibility of producing blocks to Other international shipyardsexpanding his role as a key actor in the global naval supply chain. New era in the estuary. If you want also, with this bet, Navantia aims to turn Ferrol into a World Reference Pole For military naval construction, combining tradition and modernity in a project that represents a before and after in Spanish industrial history. As Rafael Morgade underlinedresponsible for the digital transformation of the company, it is an authentic “new era” in which the Galician shipyard will go from a disorderly growth accumulated in a century to a concentrated, efficient and technologically advanced model. In a marked geopolitical context For the rearmethis megafactoría not only reinforces the capacities of the Spanish Navy, but also positions Navantia as a industrial partner in the elite of the international defense market.

Xiaomi has taken advantage of the launch of its Xiaomi 15T and 15T Pro to renew its Catalog of QD-mini LED TVs. If last year we met the TV S Mini LED 2025now the Chinese firm proposes us Xiaomi TV S Pro Mini LED 2026a new model that arrives in three sizes and that mounts panels QD-mini LED With more attenuation zones. This, in theory, should translate into a better image quality and representation of the most dark blacks. As expected, Xiaomi continues to bet on the most popular formats, or what is the same, for a base 55 -inch model, an intermediate of 65 inches and another, the largest, 75 inches. The difference is that, the size and, therefore, the attenuation zones. For the rest, the three versions are identical.

That, in a nutshell, means that under the screen there is a backlight system with 408, 532 or 704 LEDs (attenuation zones) that emit light. The more inches, the more attenuation zones. That light passes through a matrix of quantum points that convert light into pure colors, offering more vivid images than in conventional and black LEDs that, without being pure as in the OLED panels, little by little they approach a lot. The same goes for contrast. The panels have 4K resolution, are compatible with Dolby Vision and the main HDR technologies and, as a novelty, They admit up to 144 Hz natively. With the game mode, the refreshment rate increases to 288 Hz artificially. There are not 288 Hz as such, but an interpolation technique so that the image feels more fluid. That is, of course, the theory. Xiaomi TV S Pro Mini LED 2026 | Image: Xiaomi The beak brightness reaches 1,700 Nits and, according to Xiaomi, its televisions are capable of reproducing 94% of the DCI-P3 color space. An interesting aspect and that will have to be tested is the anti -reflex treatment that the company presumes. According to the firm, this panel offers a total reflectivity of 1.8%, so it should behave well if it is exposed to a strong front light. Of the sound a system of two speakers of 15W compatible with Dolby Atmos and refined by Harman. The company explained that, thanks to Xiaomi Sound, the TV adapts the audio profile to the content.

LA1 has achieved for the first time that all its programs exceed 10% audience. The question is at what price

by

RTVE 1 has first achieved that all its daily programs exceed 10% screen share. An achievement that, however, puts a few questions on the table: is it a sustainable change or a timely surprise? And beyond: Have you done it by lowering its public television category, going down to mud to compete? Will these programs and approaches be maintained once there is a turn in the government? Many questions from a figure of Share Certainly notable and that marks a before and after for the corporation. The figures. That 10% share occurred Last Monday, September 22when an average of 12.5% ​​of Share. That is, only behind Antena 3 and its 13.9% on average. In the morning strip, the ‘morning news’ (20.2%) and ‘The time of 1’ (17.6%) stood out. ‘Mañaneros 360’ maintained a double emission with very solid results (15.5% and 11.1%) and the ‘1’ mediodia news highlighted with 14% of Share. In the afternoon, ‘straight to grain made 10.4% and surpassed its Telecinco and Four competitors. ‘Wild Valley’ (11.4%) and ‘The Promise’ (12.5%) They followed leaders and ‘bad languages’ made its own record with 10.6%. ‘Here the earth’, finally, made 11.7%. The night block, already with mainly non -daily programs, was composed of ‘News 2’ (12.1%), ‘La Revuelta’ (11.7%) and ‘Masterchef Celebrity’ (13.7%). How it has been done. The figures have been achieved with a thorough reorganization of the grill, with four magacins that cover current and politics, and a commitment determined by entertainment and direct formats, and covers from the ‘morning news’ at 6:00 to the end of ‘Masterchef Celebrity’ at dawn, all with two -digit quotas. It is the key to understanding the new strategy of the1: greater weight of informative magazines, competitive entertainment and programming for diverse audiences. Go to mud. Maybe the attempt to recycle the wicker of ‘Save Me’ They will not work in audience, but the intentions were clear: compete directly with private chains. But here we find the first dilemma of this success of the1: the borders between public television and entertainment of private chains are blurred. There are those who denounce a kind of “Telebasura covert“, that is manifested in Commercial formulas as sponsorships, promotions and Product Placementwhat has even gained some sanctions to the entity in programs such as’Great Prix‘or’ Masterchef ‘. Politicians in RTVE. This leads us to the political issue. The current composition of the Board of Directors of RTVE, with majority of counselors related to government blockis being perceived as excessively politicizedwith doubts about the informative plurality and the representativeness of the programming. Many critics see open pro -government affiliation in presenters such as Silvia Intxaurrondo (which has had to defend themselves from abilities to favor the government), Javier Ruiz or Jesús Cintora (the latter in the 2, and both investigated by RTVE itself After vulneration complaints of plurity and rigor) The issue on the table is: Does this new RTVE prioritize profiles and content aligned with the interests of the management, raising the risk of indirect censorship or systematic bias? Something may have to do with the renewed success of the1, but … Do you have continuity? Nothing is forever. This political affiliation is real or perceived (which has also been reflected in decisions as significant as the Eurovision abandonment), What is clear is that it could mean a risk for all these programs when there is a change in political orientation in government. Ruiz himself seems to reflect on it in This interview with El Paíswhere he assumes that he will end out of the entity once there is a turn in the government. There was already talk of it around Broncanowhich has the most media program, but it is understood that the entire grill is marked by a specific orientation, these programs (and audiences) would be in danger. In that case, La1 would have to put on the table if you are more interested in the audience or loyalty to whom the Moncloa occupies. Controversies of a lifetime. For decades, RTVE has been subject to constant political fluctuations that condition its management and programming, making its effective independence difficult. In 2006, the government of José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero promoted an important reform with the Law 17/2006 of the radio and television of state ownershipwhose objective was to independent the corporation of political power to guarantee stability, plurality and autonomy similar to the BBC model. The law conceived RTVE as a corporation with public capital, regulated as a commercial company, with a council appointed by consensus in Parliament with qualified majority and long mandates to avoid political interference. However, this reform has been Historically undermining for political conflicts. Successive governments, especially that of the PP after Zapatero, altered the conditions to resume more direct control, as happened when the qualified majority to appoint the directors and returning the executive greater capacity to influence the direction of RTVE. These recent measures have Formal independence weakened which sought to get and put control again in partisan hands.

the refrigerator and the washing machine will be the following

by

Xiaomi has entered a new phase of his conquest plan: start bringing the devices that launched in Chinabut never reached the West. The company has just celebrated a presentation event in which it has shown a lot of devices. The absolute protagonists are the new Xiaomi 15t and Xiaomi 15t Proalso a new version of Xiaomi Watch S4of the Smart Band 10 and some headphones. It was “only” a leg of the presentation. The other has had the home as the protagonist. New aspiring robotsa new camera and the Xiaomi TV S Pro Mini Lednews of products that the brand already launched in Europe. The great novelty comes from the hand of The appliances. Because, After notifying a few months ago And look at the leg with the air conditioning, Xiaomi will finally launch a washing machine and a refrigerator in our territory. This is the Mijia Refrigerator Cross Door and the Mijia Front Load Washer Dryer Pro washing. And Spain will be the spearhead for Xiaomi. The cold and wifi cold refrigerator A few months ago, coinciding with the arrival of heat, Xiaomi launched an advance in the Spanish market: the MIJIA AIR CONDITIONER PRO ECO. In an interview, Borja Gómez Carrillo, Country Manager of Xiaomi Iberia, confirmed that this final stretch of 2025 The washing machine and the refrigerator would reach our market. They were defining what models they brought (because in China, the fan is quite wide), but we already have the details. Starting with the refrigerator, The Mijia Refrigerator Cross Door It is a four -door combi model (two for the refrigerator and two for the freezer). Among its technical characteristics linked to a “life” refrigerator, we find: Double investor with a guarantee of 10 years. 90º opening doors. Total capacity of 502 liters. External touch screen for settings. Technology to suppress bacteria. Temperature control by areas that go from -1º to 5th. Dimensions of 852 x 600 x 1.912 cm and a weight of 85 kilos The key, beyond these specifications, is that it has WiFi. Yeah, It is not something so weird today And there are already several models in the market that have connection to send us notices or make a remote diagnosis, but the strength of this product is that it is connected to Xiaomi Home. We will enter this later, but what we can expect is the logical thing of a refrigerator connected to the Internet: remote temperature adjustment, change cooling mode (superfrío, super -gelding or automatic), receive alerts if something goes wrong (for example, if the door does not close well) and we can also update it and even match it with Alexa and Google Asistant To change the temperature to the flight. Washing machine to ia On the other hand, we have the Mijia Front Load Washer Dryer Pro. It is a sink whose main characteristics are as follows: 525 millimeter door diameter. Dimensions of 59.8 x 57 x 85 cm. Centrifuged at 1,400 rpm. Capacity in its washing machine: 9 kg. Capacity in its dryer function: 6 kg. Motor with direct traction and 12 years warranty Xiaomi emphasizes that it is 25% more efficient than others in class A, has rapid 12 -minute washing programs, self -limited systems and bacteria elimination (99.99% of them). But, as in the case of the refrigerator, it is in the intelligent functions where it stands out. It is also connected to Xiaomi Home And it can be updated, but perhaps the most comfortable thing is that we can customize the programs directly from the mobile instead of from the front panel of the device. To this connection is added artificial intelligence to detect the ideal temperature for drying depending on the tissues we have involved and a system that dose the detergent and softener depending on the weight to spend less product. The ecosystem is the key. And Apple knows it well Returning to our interview with Borja, he told us that What they are looking for is to expand the so -called “ecosystem”. That is where all products that are not tablets or smartphones enter, and for this, Xiaomi has a strategy that they baptized as human x car x home that aims to a total connectivity between All the legs of that ecosystem. In China it is very developed (and more With the car for a few months), But little by little they bring those devices to make more sense to an ecosystem that felt something lame only with mobile phones, cameras, vacuum robot or toothbrush. It is also a way to reinforce all aspects of the brand, obviously. Apple users know him well. They may arrive at the brand for the iPhone, and then they acquired a Mac, Airpods or a Apple Watch. Now maybe an Android mobile seem better, but if they use the airpods or the Apple Watch, they are “tied” to that ecosystem by mere comfort. The point is that Xiaomi is betting on implanting in the West something similar to what they have in Chinaseeking that, for comfort, the user acquires devices of the same brand because it is easier to control them all with an app than to fill the house with different brands, each with their own control application. Each of those devices reinforces others and makes the ‘switching cost’, or the cost of changing, more complicated. There is the meaning (beyond the comfort of controlling the washing machine with the mobile) that traditional appliances are under the umbrella of the same platform. “Coming Soon”, although Spain will be a pioneer Now, beyond the characteristics and that reinforcement to the ecosystem, little we can say both of the refrigerator and the Xiaomi washing machine. We do know that Spain, as happened with the air conditioning, will be the advance of these releases at European level, but when we look for details about the launch, we only have a ‘Coming Soon’. The same with the price. The Chinese company must continue to value … Read more

In the full boom of foreign tourism, Metro de Madrid has had an idea to make its brand profitable: luxury merchandising

by

No matter where you go or who you ask. There are certain icons that everyone recognizes worldwide. They are part of a border -proof visual heritage. A clear example are The Olympic ringsthe symbol of peace or the dollarthe arroba or the Celebrate Smilethe smiling yellow face designed decades for Harvey Ball. If we probably did a survey most people would include in that list of universal symbols The subway logo from London. Madrid It seems determined The same thing happens with your suburban. What happened? What Metro de Madrid has surprised with A peculiar proposal. One that has little to do with trains, infrastructure and schedules. Or yes. The institution has just presented an official clock, a submersible Berbier piece, stainless steel and sapphire crystal ‘inspired’ in the capital’s suburban. The images that they have already been seen show the red, blue and white logo of Madrid in the sphere and how the marks of the hours are decorated with The colors of the different lines. One, light blue; two, red; three, yellow; four, brown … in another historical wink at the bottom of the sphere appears The figure “1919”the year in which the First Line Four Caminos-Sol was inaugurated. Click on the image to go to Tweet. Is more known? Yes. Sunday The world slid Some details of the launch. The idea is to create only 50 numbered units that will be sold for 395 euros. Too much money? No problem. In case the Limited Editing Berbier clock is exhausted or the client wants to pay less, Metro plans to market another, cheaper model, which will incorporate a similar sphere with interchangeable silicone straps in four colors. The price in that case will be 120 euros. However, there is much more interesting fact. Not by what he tells us about the clock itself, but of the Metro plans. According to Precise The worldthe new accessory can be bought unocidly in the store that the operator plans to release at the opera station. It will be The third (There is already one at the Sunstation and another in the Plaza de Castilla) and the idea is that not much to open its doors. In January He pointed to the second half of 2025 already early summer It was specified that the space is probably available in the last quarter of the year, which will allow you to take advantage (at least partly) the Christmas campaign. Metro stores? That’s how it is. In itself, stores are not a novelty. As Remember Europa Pressthe history of the Metro store can be traced at least 1984, when it opened its sun sales space. Several decades later, at the end of 2017, added the place of Plaza de Castilla. Today its catalog of items can be consulted (and buy) also in latientademetromadrid.com. In addition to selling merchandising Officer and pieces such as the new Berbier watch, the opera space will serve travelers as office Customer service. But … What do they sell? They don’t sell, better. His articles list It is amazing broad: bolis, bags and backpacks, cushions, sweatshirts, fans, bottles, socks, notebooks, toys, cups and even lames with stations posters such as Santiago Bernabéu or metropolitan state. All related in one way or another to the Madrid suburban. Most show the famous blue, red and white logo or incorporate the colors of the different lines. In the wide metro catalog there is also Bestsellers They have stood out for their commercial success. For example, Some shoes Sports designed in collaboration with Titocustoms to celebrate the company’s 105 years. They launched as a limited series, but given their “great reception” Metro decided to create a new edition. In total more than 1,000 pairs have been sold. Another product with pull is The Christmas sweater. It was released in 2023 and they have already been dispatch More than 3,000 units. Are there more figures? Yes. Not many more, but there is some that helps us understand the scope of the commercial stores of Metro de Madrid and especially its evolution. At the beginning of the year, when the plans to open the opera store were announced, the Europa Press agency wakefulness That in 2023 the volume of sales before taxes reached 127,470 euros, a record that exceeds the box of the previous year, which had been 81,619. That is, the billing shot more than 56% in a year. Most sales were channeled through physical stores (75%), highlighting above all sun, with almost 65,400 euros. Why do you do it? To understand Metro’s commitment you have to know your data, but also (and even more) the context. His decision to open a new opera store coincides with two clear trends. The first is the increase in travelers. In January the company estimated that in 2024 it had reached its “historical user record”, with 715.2 million trips8% more than in 2023. The data of fact improves those registered by the company in the years before the pandemic. The other trend is the increase in tourism. Especially that of foreign origin. Spain is close to passing the historical barrier of the 100 million of international visitors and there are those who believe that in not much time, By 2040will be the great tourist referent of the planet, surpassing France or the US. Much of that flow is directed to destinations of the Mediterranean coast, the Canary Islands or Northern regions, such as Cantabria either Galiciabut Madrid also plays a key role in the national tourist fabric. In 2024 Madrid received More than 11 million of visitors. It is estimated that the international market meant 56% and generated more than 16,000 million euros, 21% more than in 2023, with a key weight of the US, Italy and France, although the Chinese are the ones who have grown the most, 74%. And what is Metro? Everything indicates that taking advantage of that pull of visitors and users. After all, the new store will not open in any place. … Read more

Xiaomi has renewed its catalog of vacuum robots with two striking models: these are the Xiaomi Robot Vacuum 5 and Vacuum 5 Pro. Both seem basically identical in almost everything, but they have an important difference in a key section. It is the system to avoid obstacles, which in Vacuum 5 Pro is even more advanced than in its “small” brother and that makes use of a unique camera system and artificial vision. But be careful, because Vacuum 5 does not detract. Let’s know them a little more closely. Technical sheet of the Xiaomi Robot Vacuum 5 and 5 Pro Xiaomi Robot Vacuum 5 Xiaomi Robot Vacuum 5 Pro Dimensions and weight Robot: 350 x 350 x 88 mm Load base: 407 x 360 x 572 mm 12.79 kg Robot: 350 x 30 x 88 mm Base: 470 x 360 x 572 mm 13 kg POWER 20,000 pa 20,000 pa Sensors DTOF retractable radar S-Cross system to avoid obstacles DTOF retractable radar AI to dodge obstacles ABILITY Powder: 2.5 liters Clean water: 4 liters Dirty water: 3.8 liters Powder: 2.5 liters Clean water: 4 liters Dirty water: 3.8 liters Control Xiaomi Home/My Home Application Compatible with Alexa and Google Assistant Xiaomi Home/My Home Application Compatible with Alexa and Google Assistant Connectivity Wi-Fi 6 Bluetooth 5.2 Wi-Fi 6 Bluetooth 5.2 Battery 5,200 mAh Up to 140 minutes Load in less than 6 h 5,200 mAh Up to 140 minutes Load in less than 6 h NOISE 54 dB 54 dB PRICE ND ND This is how Xiaomi money earns – they attract you and catch you The difference: how they avoid obstacles What clearly highlights both models is their suction capacity, which reaches 20,000 PA. These robots have anti -re -brown brushes and two small tricks to clean more and better: the ability to extend the mopa and the presence of a side brushes. To complete a more precise navigation, the Vacuum 5 robot is equipped with a DTOF retractable radar system and with the S-Cross technology of obstacle prevention. That helps clean areas with little height, being able to put under the furniture and obstacles that leave a space of 88 mm high. The ultrasonic sensor allows to detect carpets and lift the mop up to 15 mm to avoid wetting them. The corners are not a problem. That is the big difference with the Vacuum 5 Pro robot, which also uses the DTOF retractable radar, but also avoids obstacles even more advanced thanks to an AI algorithm. Said algorithm feeds on A triple camera system which projects a matrix of laser points and RGB images to identify and precisely classify small objects. That system, those responsible say, is even able to detect if the dirt is solid, liquid or mixed, and all this contributes to prevent the robot from being blocked. The base station not only loads the robot, but also has clean water tanks (4 L) and dirty (3.8 L), in addition to a 2.5 l compartment for dust. THE MAP CLEANING SYSTEM Allows you to configure the water temperature (environment, warm or hot) for more effective cleaning. And after cleaning, the drying system reduces drying time to only two hours with 99% effectiveness. In the Pro model that mop can heat the water to 80º for a more efficient cleaning. These two vacuum robots are equipped with a 5,200 mAh battery that according to Xiaomi provides an autonomy of up to 140 minutes with a single load. The Xiaomi Home application allows you to control features such as Video Manager, which MAKES Use of the Integrated 1080P camera In the Xiaomi Robot Vacuum 5 Pro to offer real time monitoring of the cleaning process and also allows us to control the device with voice orders. Versions and price of the Xiaomi Robot Vacuum 5 and 5 Pro We have no data on the availability and prices of the new Xiaomi Robot Vacuum 5 and 5 Pro, but we will update this information as soon as we have them available.

On the one hand, the pro is thicker and somewhat heavier, although the dimensions, in practice, They are almost identical. On the other hand, both share the cameras module that seems what it may seem, does not host four lenses, but three. Thirdly, and although Xiaomi has not revealed the material of 15T, it has confirmed that the PRO MARCOS are made of aluminum alloy 6m13. As for the screen, the configuration is almost the same on both devices. In both cases we have a 6.83 -inch AMOLED panel with 1.5K resolution, Dolby Vision, HDR1O+, a peak shine of 3,200 nits and protection Gorilla Glass 7i. The difference is in the refreshment rate (120 Hz in the base model and 144 Hz in the Pro model) and in the Lipo technology (Low-Insure Pressure Over-Molding), Thanks to which Xiaomi has managed to reduce the thickness of the frames in the Xiaomi 15t Pro. Xiaomi 15t Pro | Image: Xataka For the rest, the usual suspects: USB type C, stereo speakers compatible with Dolby Atmos and hi-res and a lot of microphones that, in the case of the PRO, consists of a mesh of three. The firm has not mentioned in this regard, but it can be expected that the fingerprint reader will be optic and be hidden under the screen, as is normal. Mediak at the controls Xiaomi 15t | Image: Xataka Xiaomi has left Qualcomm aside for these devices and, instead, He has opted for Mediatek chips (that it has been doing very well for some time, everything is said). The Xiaomi 15T mounts the Dimensity 8400 Ultra processor, a high -end SOC that we met at the beginning of the year, and the Xiaomi 15T Pro rid the dimensity 9400+. The latter is made of three nanometers compared to the four of the first and significantly increases the speed of the CPU. Both share the 12 GB of memory RAM LPDDR5X and the versions of 256 and 512 GB of storage, although the PRO has a version with a Tera capacity In all cases it is UFS 4.1. That nothing is heated of the account will be in charge of the 3D ICELOP system, that is, liquid cooling. The battery amounts to 5,500 mAh in both cases, but there is a substantial difference in the load power and, above all, in the fact that the Xiaomi 15T Pro has wireless load. Xiaomi 15t Pro | Image: Xataka The most juicy novelties are in connectivity and in the operating system. Xiaomi 15t premiere Xiaomi Astral Communicationa set of communications technologies among which Xiaomi offline communication stand out.
