He is already testing his 1.4 nm lithography and has announced when he will arrive

by

2025 will be the year in which the 2 Nm chips will take off. During the next months TSMC, Intel and Samsung will start large -scale production of this type of integrated circuits. However, each of these companies is found in a very different situation. The Taiwanese TSMC leads the market with a fee of approximately 60% and has closed A very successful 2024. In addition, Apple, Nvidia, AMD, Mediatek, Intel and Qualcomm have already officialized their intention to formalize orders for their 2 Nm integration technology. Samsung’s starting point is less comfortable than TSMC’s. This South Korean company is reassessing your expansion plans and adjusting its template with the purpose of facing the future with the maximum possible guarantees. Of course, it is prepared to start large -scale production of 2 nm chips. Intel, meanwhile, is facing one of the most difficult stages Of all its history. Even so, Ben Sell, Vice President of Technology Development, confirmed At the end of last September that the 18A node already has the maturity necessary to enter large -scale production in 2025. Integrated 1.4 NM circuits of TSMC will arrive in 2028 TSMC has confirmed that the tests of its 2 Nm node are being successful, so you can start large -scale manufacturing of semiconductors using this photolithography during the second semester of 2025. However, its medium -term plans do not end here. Just a few hours ago this company has held its Technological Conference of North America and has anticipated which is also testing its next avant -garde integration technology. It will call it A14 (1.4 Nm), will enter large -scale production in 2028 and we already know some of its most interesting characteristics. TSMC has made public some figures that allow us to assess to what extent the arrival of the A14 node will be important One of its most important spots will consist that you will use transistors Nanosheet Gaa (Gate-alall-around) Second generation. The first generation will arrive next to the Lithography N2 (2 Nm) this year. In addition, this integration technology will land with the promise to make possible the manufacture of integrated circuits with higher performance, higher energy efficiency and a more flexible design. The usual. However, TSMC, fortunately, has been wet and in its event some figures have made public that allow us to assess to what extent the arrival of the A14 node will be important. And, according to this company, the integrated circuits produced with the A14 lithography will be 15% faster than the chips manufactured in the NEN N2 with the same consumption; They will reduce energy expenditure by 30% at the same speed, and, in addition, they will put on the table the possibility of increasing the density of logic by 20%. According to Kevin ZhangSenior Vice President and Deputy Director of Operations of TSMC, the A14 node will be attractive to make chips for consumption devices and for strictly professional applications, such as, for example, GPU for artificial intelligence (AI). As we have seen, TSMC hopes to start the large -scale manufacture of 1.4 Nm semiconductors in 2028, but at that time this integration technology will only have taken its first step. And it is likely that In 2029 a review of the lithography A14 is readyand presumably in 2030 the high performance and low cost versions of this node will arrive. This is the usual as long as TSMC sets a new integration technology. In fact, The nodes N4 nodes (4 NM), which is constituted by integration technologies N4, N4P and N4X, are improved Integration Technology N5 (5 Nm).

Byd did not go to the Shanghai Auto Salon to show cars. Went to exhibit power

by

In the Shanghai Motor Show there are 70 car brands. Most come to present cars and Byd comes to show power. His was not a standbut a manifesto. And at the largest car fair on the planet. Its brands – the general byd, the ultra -premium yangwang and the newly arrived in Europe denza– They were, more than aligned, orchestrated. And each model does not seem a simple proposal, but an offensive. Seeing them, no one just described them, but to enumerate their possible victims. The sensation It wasn’t even admiration, but for certainty: just like Huawei with mobilesByd does not seek to compete but to take. Being a national champion, in business jargon, is a thing of the past: now his vocation is hegemony. In fact, his conference was the most often, with the permission of Chery’s, and the most jaleada. Symbolic capital of a new China. The usual byd, which is no longer The BYD base is still that of the car for everyone, but does it with an increasingly attractive sophistication for its customers and dangerous for its rivals. At the Fair, five models of the Ocean series, all electric or hybrids, and all with advances that place them above the price they hold – although the translation to Spanish euros is always a complicated equation. It is, in any case, the old Byd trick: Give yourself to the price of a generalist what others call premium. He Sealion 06for example, it arrives as a compact SUV with athletic design, long muscle. Your assistance system ‘Eye of God‘It comes standard, and has compatibility with the new ultra -grape load network of 1,000 watts. It promises 400 kilometers of autonomy with five minutes of load.

Byd Sealion 7. Image: Xataka. And the renewal of already classic models such as Those of the series L They illustrate the maturation of the Byd nucleus: they have not only updated their engines (the new electrical units reach 30,511 rpm), but also incorporate technologies typical of recent high ranges: Adaptive suspensions Disus-m. Total connectivity. And even autonomous driving functions Level 2+. What a five -year is a Chinese miracle today is the new standard. Byd Song L EV. Image: Xataka. The message is clear: Byd wants volume, but also prestige. And unfortunately for his rivals, he not only wishes it but is willing to build it, marked per brand, segment by segment, country by country. Denza, elegance as an attack And if the prestige is the new front, denza is the first shock line. Initially conceived as a joint experiment with Mercedes-Benz and today 100% controlled by byd, this brand is the advance of Chinese electric luxury. Do not compete in volume, compete in perception. And in Shanghai came his most serious offensive: the Denza z. This two -door and four -seater electric coupe is, Visually, a missile. Low, muscular, with a marked waist line and a design that reminds more of a Concept living room than a production car. But it is confirmed: it will reach the market. Denza Z. Image: Xataka.

The Z was not the only star. He also shone Denza N9a large SUV and elegant, refined design. Spacious interior, immersive screens, advanced driving assists. He is already on sale in China from 389,800 yuan – about 47,000 euros – and his arrival in Europe is expected at the end of the year with a more enigmatic price than ever. And the N7an old acquaintance who part of the 260,000 yuan, about 36,000 euros, monopolized less premium but more generalist looks. Denza N7. Image: Xataka. Denza N7. Image: Xataka. For a market that begins to look suspicious at the German overprices, denza proposes something disturbing: luxury, but logical. The offensive complete the Denza D9a luxury minivan that has gone from curiosity to supervants in the Chinese market. Designed for executives and families of high purchasing power, the D9 offers a cabin experience that rivals that of a private jet: two rear seats with massage, ventilation, individual screens, panoramic roof, reinforced acoustic insulation and automatic sliding doors that convert access into a ceremony. Interior of the denza D9. Image: Xataka. Its double motorization – a pure or plug -in hybrid – offers versatility without sacrificing status. In a world where the minivan category seemed extinguished by the SUVs, byd the reinvent with one purpose: convert premium mobility into space, silence and prestige. Thus and everything will be complicated to refuse in Europe despite all these arguments. His proposal is based on offering a Porsche or a Maserati at the price of high -end Audi. Of course, if five years ago they list all the already common Chinese brands in our streets, we would have entered the silly laugh. We will see.

How to block so that your messages from your WhatsApp chats can not be shared or photos or videos can be downloaded

by

Let’s explain how to configure whatsapp for prevent others from sharing your messages In the chats you have with them. It is a new option that will gradually reach all users, and we will explain its operation. We are going to start explaining the operation of this adjustment, which has not yet reached everyone but will start doing it in the next few days. And then, we will explain how its operation is and activate. How this option works When you are talking to another person, any message you send can be shared. This means that the other people with whom you speak have the option of Share your message and send it to another chat or group to show what you have said. In addition to avoiding messages, this adjustment allows Other people cannot download your photos or videosyour content cannot be lowered to your phones. In addition, your messages cannot be used for AI functions. This allows you to give important information in an individual group or chat, it can be disseminated. You can share your text messages, your photos, videos, everything you send. However, It can also be a problem for your privacy In the event that others decide to share what you do not want to share. Now, WhatsApp has decided to give you the flexibility of activating an option that allows Do not allow any of your messages in a chat to be sharedand thus make sure that nothing you say is disseminated. This adjustment It is individual of each chat or group. This means that you will have to activate it one by one in all the chats where you do not want anything you say to spread. By default, everything you say can be shared, but in the chats and groups you want you can activate the option to do not. How to prevent your messages from sharing To prevent your messages from sharing in an individual group or chat, you have to click on the chat name To access the screen where some options appear on it. Once you are inside, you have to click on the option Advanced Chat Privacy That will appear inside. Here, you can activate the function so that your chats cannot be exported or shared. Remember that this you will have to activate in each chat individually and in each group where you do not want to download or share what you say. It is a good option for those conversations where there are people with whom you still have no confidence.

WhatsApp the privacy seemed pump proof. Until a state prosecutor tried to erase incriminating messages

by

The State Attorney General, Álvaro García Ortiz, thought he had eliminated messages that could help incriminate him in a crime of revelation of the secrets. It really wasn’t like that, because It doesn’t matter if you delete your messages on WhatsApp: Google keeps them the same. Now we have known that these messages seem to have been successfully recovered, and the question is: how have you managed to read those messages? Metadata to compare other data. During the investigation, the UCO also registered the electronic devices of the provincial chief prosecutor of Madrid, Pilar Rodríguez, they point out In 20 minutes. The content of the Zip folder held by the magistrate could also have been sent by goal/WhatsApp, which would not have sent the messages – it can not theoretically have no access to them – but the metadata of those conversations of García Ortiz. These metadata could serve to compare and contrast Rodríguez’s messages – which did retain those conversations – thus providing evidence for the attribution of the Attorney General. Of deleted, nothing. As they point out in the confidentialthe magistrate of the Supreme Court, Ángel Luis Hurtado, has indicated that the effort to try to recover the messages deleted by the State Attorney General, Álvaro García Ortiz, seems to have been “successful.” The latter It is charged for an alleged crime of revelation of secrets. Google and WhatsApp lend their help. The Central Operating Unit (UCO) of the Civil Guard will be responsible for making an expert report on the messages. The Supreme Court indicated In the country In January, he made a request to the Irish delegations of Google and WhatsApp (Meta) through Eurojustan agency for judicial cooperation in criminal cases. It is not specified which has responded, but the magistrate has received documentation in a Zip folder that seems to contain the messages deleted by García Ortiz in October 2024. How have you managed to read? The essential question is, of course, how it is possible that justice has ended up having access to those messages. The UCO already proved that García Ortiz erased his WhatsApp messages not one if not twice on October 16, 2024, when he was charged. He even changed telephone and reached the factory that he had been using until that moment. The alleged reason was to prevent such messages from incriminating him, but it turned out that this was not enough. The theory of metadata is a strong option, but there are others. End -to -end encryption is there. To begin with, we must clarify that WhatsApp has been using a protocol for years end -to -end encryption For all conversations. Only who sends the message and who (or who receives it can read them, but no other person or entity can decipher those messages. Not even goalthrough whose servers they send and forward texts, images, video or any other type of content. The key was not there, and there are other ways to access those messages. Option 1: physical access to the device. The most obvious way to access a user’s WhatsApp messages is to have physical access to your mobile device. In that case, forensic experts can, with the appropriate tools, obtain the key to decipher the messages from the WhatsApp database, even if they have been deleted. Here García Ortiz erased the messages and restored the terminal to his factory status, which probably made it impossible to recover them from the device even having physically access. But there was another way. Option 2: Surely Backing Copies. This is probably the key to the success of having recovered the messages of the Attorney General. In WhatsApp users can back up their messages in cloud services such as Google Drive or Apple Iloud, but attention: by default those backup copies are not encrypted. It is the users who must proactively enable encryption in backupsand maybe García Ortiz did not. That would have caused Google, to which help was requested, could access that data to send them to the case magistrate. If you want to delete your messages, be careful with backups. WhatsApp users cannot do anything with metadata, which does keep a finish line, but with the messages if they want to erase them effectively. As this case teaches us, it is not enough to delete them from our phone: if we make backup copies of our messages, it is important to activate the encryption of said backup copies. But special notice about backup copies. Special care with the encryption of backup copies, because it does not work as extreme encryption. The copies are encrypted with a password/password that you only know, and therefore it is convenient that it is strong not to be broken with brute force attacks, for example. WhatsApp in fact gives the option to create a 64 -digit key, but … she does it. Here are suspicions about how they manage that encryption password in Google/Apple/Meta, and if they can decipher it in some way for potential judicial requests. Be that as it may, the other solution, of course, is not to back up the messages of the messages unless you consider it absolutely essential.

Wine and beer have been moving tourists from all over the world for years. Now also the bread

by

It doesn’t matter if we talk about Madrid, Barcelona, ​​Zaragoza, Oviedo or Vigo. In any moderately large city in Spain (as in many other countries) it is difficult to go out and not find a place to buy A bread barbuns or a cross at a reasonable distance. They sell it in the neighborhood pastries, but also in supermarkets (grades and small) and of course in chains such as Starbucks or Dunkin. That does not mean that there are people willing to take the car or even get on a plane to try a special bread. In a world in which more and more travel And it is no longer surprising to speak oenological tourism and gastronomic excursions or dedicated to handmade beer (Craft Beer-Tourism) A new modality opens up: the Bakery tourism. Traveling with the palate. There is nothing written about trips. Nor about tourism or vacations. There are those who plan their getaways thinking about Paradisiac beacheswho prefers to spend their days free climbing mountainswho opts for cities, who prioritizes Quiet places To rest … and who directly decides his destination “listening” to his palate and the belly. It is nothing new. He wine tourismhe Beer-Tourism and the Gastronomic Tourism In general, it has been practicing for years and has become a business that moves billions of euros. According to Turespaña, only in 2022 (an exercise still marked by the pandemic) the tourists who visited Spain 22.7 billion of euros in en-gastronomic activities, which makes them one of the main sources of income for the sector. And of those that grow the most. @Nat.Majira Is called #LANNAN And it is in Edinburgh, it always has a tail and the #Croissant and #Painauchocolat They are your specialty 💖 #Edinburgh ♬ Original Sound – Nat.Maquirira Objective: Good bakeries. Not all travelers (and that includes from visitors from other countries to locals who plan small escapes) are looking for wineries, breweries or Michelin star restaurants. There are those who prefer sweet flavors and what they demand are handmade cupcakes or bakeries. A special bread. A brioche with its cream filling. A Babka particularly appetizing. A honey croissant. A Pain Au Chocolat. A cinnamon bun. The list adds and continues with pastry that travelers are looking for guided by Instagram or Tiktokspecialized forums or guides such as ‘Britain’s Best Bakeries’. Welcome to “Bakery Tourism”. The trend is extended enough to The Guardian I just dedicated A wide report in which he speaks of the “extraordinary boom of the Bakery Tourism“, a term that could be translated as” bakery tourism “or” pastry. As an example, he quotes an Edinburgh bakery, Lannan Bakerythat despite carrying open only a couple of years has managed to become a mecca of Bakery Tourism. “We had just received a person who came from Canada. And last year there was another from New Zealand who booked his trip to come,” says his pastry. Your Instagram profile adds around 103,000 followers And in Tiktok they can be found A good handful of publications about their buns and tartlets. @kimchiarepa Most famous bakery of Korea🇰🇷. #korea #Korea #성심당 #koreanbakery #Bakery ♬ Magnetic – Illit Does it happen only in the United Kingdom? Not at all. Arrives A quick search In Google to see how Pan and Bun tourism has its space share in other countries, including Morocco, Japan, the United States, Portugal, Türkiye, Germany or Argentina, such as I quoted recently The specialized website Travel and Tour World. Its logic is simple: cities take advantage of the attractiveness of pastry and traditional sweets to boost as a tourist destination. Nothing that did not have been doing wine warehouses, breweries and localities with Michelin star restaurants or culinary fairs for years. In the case of Portugal, for example, he quotes the popular ones Nata or Belem pasteswhich have already inspired several Guides and Routes By Lisbon focused right on that: show tourists where they can try them. Another word: “bbangjisullae”. Another country in which bread and tourism have marinated well is South Korea. Recently Korea Joongang Dailyk It echoed How there are Koreans traveling hundreds of kilometers, taking trains or spending the night away from home, in Airbnbs, to enjoy the best local refuel. There the trend has its own name: bbangjisullaea mixture of words BBANG (“bread”) and Seongjisullae (“pilgrimage”). And that does in some way those who practice it: a kind of “pilgrimage of bread.” The phenomenon also connects with an upward business in the country, that of the bakery, valued in around 5,500 million dollars and that according to the forecasts handled by the sector in mid -2024 faces a growth horizon. The data The food statistical information system also shows that the number of bakeries has grown clearly in the country: from 24,777 in 2020 to 28,070 in 2022. The franchisee premises however stagnated. Promoting the economy. That last nuance is interesting. Bread, buns and crosss can be bought in many businesses, from large pastmarkets baking chains; But the “bread pilgrims” look for a certain type of product. And how it reveals The report of The Guardian, They often resort to local businesses that can be far from the big cities. In Daejeon, the fifth largest metropolitan area of ​​Korea, stands out for example Sungsimdagfounded as a small bakery specialized in buns In 1956 and that has expanded since then until becoming a local icon. So much so that, according to the local tourism office, it was The most visited place by tourists who arrived in the city throughout 2022 and 2023. A good part of the surveyed travelers say that the pastry was one of the reasons that led them to know Daejeon. It is not a unique case. Something similar has happened in other locations of the US or of Australia. Images | Mark Ramsay (Flickr) and WEI (UNSPLASH) In Xataka | More and more people are going on vacation simply to sleep

A French people have to deal with an surprising incidence of ALS. The main suspect is a fungus

by

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, also known as ELA (ALS in English) is a disease capable of wreaking havoc in our nervous system. Today It has no cure And what we know about its origin is quite limited. Throughout decades of study, we have been discovering risk factors related to the appearance of this disorder but perhaps the strangest was detected a few years ago in a town in the French Alps. The unique case of Montchavin. A few years ago, a group of researchers discovered that the French people of Montchavin, located near the Alpine border with Italy, has a high incidence of ELA. After investigating the case, the team pointed out as possible culprit To a very concrete element of local gastronomy, the fungus Gyromitra gigasa type of false colmenilla or false morilla. ELA. The Amyotrophic lateral sclerosisknown among other names as Lou Gehrig’s disease, is a disease that affects neurons, both in our brain and spinal cord. It is a disease that is progressing until it ends the life of who suffers it. Today we do not know a cure, although there are treatments that relieve Some symptoms and increase the life expectancy of patients. The symptoms of this disease usually appear from the age of 50, although there are earlier cases, and They can start With problems walking, writing or speaking. The disease It generates the loss of muscle strength and coordination capacity, problems that extend to different muscle groups. Unknown cause. Today we have no accurate record of what mechanisms unleash this ailment, although we know Some risk factors correlated with their appearance. What we do know is that about 10% of cases are related to a genetic variant, and that the disease is more common among men than among women. Among the known risk factors are tobacco and exposure to certain environmental toxins. A higher prevalence has also been detected among people who did military service. The incidence of this disease It is between one and 2.6 annual cases per 100,000 inhabitants; with an approximate prevalence of about six cases per 100,000 per 100,000 people. An enigma in the French Alps. A few years ago, the cases of Montchavin unleashed the curiosity of the French neurologist Emmeline Lagrange. The health and its team accounted for 14 cases of ELA diagnosed between 1990 and 2018 linked to residents in this town, including migrants and people who had their second residence in Montchavin. Examining the case, the team did not find genetic factors that could justify the high incidence in the town. Although they found cases of smokers, they also ran into healthy habits in the group. Nor did they find clues of possible pollutants in land, air or water, or radon traces, a pollutant that could also be linked to this disease. From Pacific to France. As the journalist Terence Monmany narrates In an article For the medium Knowablethe team found a thread to throw on the remote island of Guam. On this island located in the archipelago of the Mariana Islands, in the Western Pacific, another team had detected a possible relationship between the consumption of potentially toxic seeds and the prevalence of neurological diseases (including ELA) among the natives. Although science is not settled in the causes of this epidemic, this hypothesis placed the consumption of food in the center of the debate. According to Detaine Monmanythe native chamorros treated these seeds with water to reduce their toxicity before their culinary preparation. This process would not be able to eliminate all toxins, giving rise to subsequent neurological damage. Gyromitra gigas. Something similar could be happening in Montchavin, not with seeds but with a mushroom. As the team observed, the cases could be drawn up to people linked to the collection and consumption of the fungus Gyromitra gigasa type of false morilla. It is a fungus in a toxic principle, but that, as in the case of Guam, can be treated to reduce its toxicity. In spite of this, the team maintains in its work that the incidence of the ELA in the town can be linked to its toxins and DNA lesions caused by these in the long term. The details of that study were published in 2021 In an article In the magazine Journal of the Neurological Sciences. A spurious relationship?

Its formula goes beyond a huge power

by

Irobot returns to the load with a new incorporation to its most advanced range. THE MAX 705 VAC ROOM arrives by muscle: nothing less than 13,000 suction pathe highest figure ever reached by a brand model. To get an idea, it is 180 times more powerful than the models of the 600 seriesa line that has been in the market for years and has been one of the most popular of the Irobot catalog. The American manufacturer, that was in conversations with Amazon for a possible purchase that finally did not come to fruitionHe wants to highlight this power as his great asset, although in the market there are equally ambitious rivals. He Roborock Qrevo Curv reaches 18,500 pa, and the DREame X50 Ultra Complete Raise the rod to some imposing 20,000 pa. More power implies better cleaning? If we talk about carpets or deal with the hairs of our pets, more power should guarantee greater cleaning. According to Irobotthis model is thought precisely for this type of households: it combines powerful suction with Two anti -re -gum brushesthat adapt to the type of soil and are designed to maintain constant contact with the surface. To this is added a corner and edges brush, and Carpet Boost technology, which automatically detects carpets to intensify the power. The Max 705 empty Roomba has also evolved in navigation and detection. It incorporates an artificial intelligence camera that allows to avoid common obstacles such as cables or socks, and has the Clearview Pro lidar technology, which maps the home with precision even at night. Thanks to the Dirt Detet system, it is also able to identify the areas with greater accumulation of dirt and repeat passes in those areas automatically. Of course, who looks for a scrubbing model must look at other catalog options. This model does not include a mop or system for cleaning wet spots. Where it does stand out is in connectivity. It can be controlled from the new Home Romba application, which allows you to schedule cleaning By room or specific areasadjust between four power levels and activate additional passs. It can also start from the robot itself or through voice commands. It is compatible with Alexa, Google Home and, at the end of the year, also with Apple Home through the Matter standard. As a good high -end model, the Max 705 vacu Roomba arrives based on AutoMpty highway. This system collects and stores dirt automatically up to 75 days in a closed bag that prevents the dust from returning to the air. As for the design, Irobot has opted for its well -known elegant lines and modern finishes. Price and availability of the new Max 705 empty The new Max 705 empty 699 euroswith shipments planned for “within a week.” In the United States, curiously, the price rises to $ 899.99. As of May 11, 2025, it will also be available in selected online stores. Images | Irobot In Xataka | The 2025 vacuum robots arrive with something we never saw: arms and legs have come out

Meanwhile, some players have been dealing with problems in their graphics for months

by

More than three decades ago, three engineers sat down to talk in Silicon Valley with an idea that would end up transforming the video game industry. Jensen Huang, Chris Malachowsky and Curtis Priem wanted to create a chip that would improve PC graphics. From that meeting Nvidia was born, and with it, the GPU as we know it. For years, the name of Nvidia has been synonymous with gaming experience in PC. If you have ever set up a computer to play, it is very likely that your graphics card will carry its logo. The brand has achieved something more difficult than technological innovation: build a faithful community that continues with enthusiasm every new release. Lately, however, something has changed in that relationship From the arrival of the RTX 50 series, with models such as The RTX 5090 and the RTX 5080complaints have been increasing. Many users have detected Failures in the controllersand the solutions do not finish arriving. In some cases it is possible to return to an earlier version to overcome errors, but those who have the most recent graphs do not have that possibility, since RTX 50 models are not compatible with the most stable previous versions, such as the 566.36. Reddit has become the center of complaintswith threads that accumulate testimonies of frustrated users. YouTube has also collected the echo of the problem With videos that document the problems. And we don’t talk only about noise on social networks: Nvidia herself has recognized Dozens of mistakes present in their latest drivers, which promises to solve in upcoming updates. Beyond the officially recognized problems, complaints about stability failures are frequent even among users of previous generations. Several players have reported black screens, unexpected reset, flickering, visual artifacts, load errors and forced closures in titles such as’Cyberpunk 2077‘ either ‘Star Wars Outlaws‘. The headquarters of Nvidia in Santa Clara, California Certain failures are related to specific configurations, for example, when using monitors with high soda rates, G-SNC activated or determined Displayport outputs, which complicates its diagnosis.
