Every month that passes, Tesla’s breakdown is greater. And that begins to be a real problem for the company

by

We begin to have sales data in European countries. The acea data will arrive in the last week of May but, little by little, we are knowing sales in the main European markets. And, once again, the data for Tesla are dramatic. It was expected. It was almost waiting. With each new quarter that begins, Tesla lowers its sales. The company has long followed a registration strategy that leads to enroll a greater number of vehicles in March, June, September and December. Consequently, January, April, July and October, when the quarter begins, pays the consequences with a good hangover. Spain. The data in our country confirms it. In January the brand already gave evident symptoms that something did not march well. Neither the Tesla Model 3 nor the Tesla Moda and sneaked into the 10 best -selling electric cars of our country which gave an idea that the company had cars stored in stock After a final push in 2024 to make up the photo of the year. Now, three months later, Tesla Model 3 loses the first position again. In March he had recovered ground (and is still the best selling car in what we have been) but the Renault 5 and Kia Ev3 They have overcome them again. Right now, Tesla is leaving in our country more than 16% fall. The damage in the case of Tesla Model 3 is lower. It is 9% compared to the accumulated of January-April of 2024 and it is not a bad figure if we take into account that the Tesla Model and is falling 25.46%. The electric SUV was its best selling car and right now it has placed almost half of the units that a model 3 in setback. Still worse. The data They are still worse Out of Spain. Our country does not cease to have a relatively small electric market, so the oscillations are more evident and represented by larger numbers. However, the fall of Tesla in the main markets are striking. In April 2025, the following falls are counted with data from Bloomberg: Sweden: -80.7% Netherlands: -73.8% Portugal: -33% France: -59.4% Germany: -46% United Kingdom: -62% In April, the company only grew in Norway and Italy. In the accumulated of the year, Tesla has fallen 60% in Germany, more than 50% in the Netherlands, Sweden and Denmark and the only reason why it barely falls in the United Kingdom is because They could have diverted cars from other markets with a right -hand flyer to the islands. In a very bad time. So far we have been talking about the Tesla Model and Juniper hangover. The electric SUV update has undoubtedly slowed the sales of the new car. Because the production has reduced, there is a stock of the outgoing model to which it has had to leave and because there will be clients who have waited for aesthetic update to buy the most affordable models (it arrived exclusively wearing the most expensive option). The problem is that after a year in which the electric car noticed the first symptoms of wear, Europe has put the direct With this technology. We still have no official data from the entire continent but it is palpable that the number of electric cars in what we have been over is higher than 2024. The electric car market share has gone from 12% to 15.1% in the continent and have registered 412,997 units for 333,428 last year in the first quarter. We are at a growth of 23.9%. The competition squeezes. That means that competition begins to eat ground to Elon Musk’s company. Every day that passes is market share inside the electric car that is being left in Europe. With data from the first quarter of 2024, in Europe Tesla has gone from 2.4% market share of 1.3%. A 45%drop has been left. Volkswagen It has become the Super Survents of electric cars. After many problems with a Volkswagen id His secret has been the sale of the Great Electric Berlina. But, in addition, to these sales we must add those of Skoda, Cupra and Audiwhich improves the general photography of the group. At the same time, Kia Ev3 has entered the market very force And the Renault 5 is being a sales success in these first measures of the year, especially in France. A bump? As we say, it remains to know if what we have in front of Tesla is a bump, if it is going through a bad time that will remain as mere anecdote or if it really begins to have problems to place their cars. The arrival of Tesla Model and Juniper should end these sensations but the doubts begin to emerge. Because although in our test we count that the Electric SUV of Tesla remains a product that is above Of the competition, the truth is that there are more and more alternatives that move in about 30,000 euros and there Tesla is missing. It seems urgent for the company that can put a more affordable electric car on the market. Begins to be urgent. Seen what last numbers presentedfor the company it is urgent to lift the flight. The company has opted in recent months that it would begin to generate money with its autonomous driving systems, either with Robotaxis or with Sales to third parties. A commitment to which they have not taken revenues yet. At the same time, sales figures are not being expected. For the first time, in 2024 Tesla did not sell more cars than the previous year. Start worrying about 2025, just when competition You need to sell more cars electric And we have no 25,000 euros car Not one cheaper version of the current Model 3 or Model Y. The perspectives, of course, are not the best. Photo | Xataka In Xataka | Tesla begins to discover what happens when you lose your competitive advantage: its benefits have collapsed 71%

The US has become the great “donor”

by

In recent months we have proven to what extent the commercial policy of the United States affects the rest of the world (and vice versa). The threat of a commercial war between Europe and the North American country has been markedly diluted but has made us reconsider the role that international trade plays in our daily actions. Because this affects details that sometimes we would not suspect. The United States is the main exporter of medical products in the world, something that may not be so surprising. This is true if we talk about medical equipment, but It is also If we talk about something as particular as Blood plasma. Because yes, this key component of our blood also thickens international accounting data in some countries. First of all, perhaps it is convenient to clarify what is exactly plasma. Blood plasma is essentially the liquid part of the blood. In this liquid where red blood cells, leukocytes or white blood cells, and platelets are suspended. The plasma It is mainly composed of water, proteins such as immunoglobulins, coagulation and albumin factors, in addition to salts that exert electrolytes. We can obtain blood plasma through donations in two ways. One, through plasma donations (plasmapheresis). In this process, blood is extracted to the patient, blood from which the plasma is separated and removed at the same time that the rest of the liquid components are returned to the donor. Plasma can also be obtained from conventional blood donations. According to Explain the Transfusion Center of the Community of Madridthe plasma obtained from conventional blood donations is enough to meet all transfusion needs of patients. However, at least in Spain, the plasma extracted by this route is not enough to produce hemoderivates from the proteins present in the plasma or PDMP (PLASMA-DERIVED Medicinal Products), important in treatments not related to blood or plasma transfusions. Where there is lack, there is business. And this is example the United States. During the last yearsblood plasma has represented around 2.5% of exports in this country. Although the pandemic significantly limited the availability of this vital fluid in the North American country, in 2022 plasma exports They were 2.69%. And this is due to a huge rhythm of collection. According to A study Posted in 2023 in the magazine Transfusion Medicine and Hemotherapy, about 67% of plasma volume collected in the world was obtained in the US. In contrast, Europe contributes about 14%. Interestingly, Europe is the largest plasma supplier recovered (extracted from complete blood donations). Money issue? The disparate situation on each sides of the “puddle” has led some to consider the compensation model prevailing in Europe. The reason is that, In the USpaying for blood plasma is perfectly legal, while in the countries of our environment, this possibility is more limited. In Europe the idea of ​​non -enrichment from the human body and its parts prevails, a position also defended by the World Health Organization. This does not exclude payments in some contexts or Nor does it guarantee Transparency in the legislation of all European surroundings countries. The debate on whether this is the best model has been open for some years. “The EU legal framework for blood and blood components was not developed with the need for an increase in collection of plasma in mind ”, defended a couple of years ago Maarten van Baelen, executive director of Plasma Protein Therapeutics Association (PPTA) Europe, in Declarations collected by Politic. “A growing need for plasma medicines and a growing dependence on the US plasma requires a change in policy to face how we collect and increase plasma collection in Europe.” For others, the payment for donations has a difficult ethical lace: it is common that the idea of ​​paying for an organ as a liver or an eye is uncomfortable, but is.how or where to draw the limit? It is a question that, as long as we are not able to answer in a consensual way, can limit our If someone might seem predisposed to defend the existence of this type of market would be economists. Because also for these there is some debate. On the blog and homonymous book FreakonomiksStephen Dubner and Steven Levitt considered this issue. They did it by mentioning two studies with diverse resigades but not necessarily opposite. One of them, published in 1970 by Richard Titmuss, in which a counterintuitive effect was observed, that payments not only did not contribute to improve donations, but rather on the contrary. He Second studymore recent, published in 2013 in Sciencenoted that the rewards did work, although these rewards They did not have to be monetary: The study also contemplated forms of compensation such as free days or gift checks.

Baidu believes to have the key and has registered it in a new patent

by

The idea of ​​talking with our pets has been feeding the collective imaginary. And although we continue to maintain a conversation with a dog or a cat in the style of Doctor Dolittleartificial intelligence (AI) begins to explore a much more realistic land: to interpret how they feel. The last sample comes from China: BAIDU has requested a patent proposed by a system capable of translating the emotional state of animals into understandable language for humans. An emotional translator, not a talk with your dog. The application, submitted by the company to the State Office of Intellectual Property of China raises a system that does not intend to translate barking or meowed in human phrases as if they were words, but to identify relevant signs of animal behavior (such as voice, gestures or physiological changes) to estimate its emotional state and express it in natural language. In other words: it’s not about talking to animals, but better understanding what they feel. As Sina collectsthe key is to build an emotional interpretation channel that allows humans to react to what animals, obviously, cannot express in words. The difference with respect to other existing tools is in the depth of the analysis. Most initiatives in this field focus on the superficial interpretation of sounds or expressions, but do not capture complex emotions. Baidu’s proposal aspires to break that limit. Artificial intelligence with multimodal approach. The system key is in its integral approach. According to the technical summary of the patent, the method relies on technologies such as automatic learning, deep learning and natural language processing. These three pillars allow to process large volumes of data and extract relevant patterns in real time. Innovation is how the different signs collected are combined: vocalizations, postures, behavioral variations and physiological data. All this is analyzed jointly to avoid errors that usually occur when it is based on a single source. The ultimate goal is to achieve a more precise emotional reading, with less margin of ambiguity. Applications in Care, Conservation and Animal Study. The potential use of this technology goes far beyond the domestic sphere. According to the document, it could be used to improve the welfare of pets, adjusting their care and company based on their mood. But it could also have an important role in scientific research, helping biologists to better understand the behavior of rare or endangered species. In reservations and conservation centers, these types of tools could become an ally to anticipate states of stress or discomfort before they manifest themselves in an evident way, facilitating the task of the staff. It is not yet a product. As with any patent, its publication does not imply that technology is available or becoming a commercial product. In fact, South China Morning post points That the evaluation process can be extended for more than a year, and Baidu has not announced concrete plans to develop it in the form of a device or service. For now, what the company poses is a technical basis that opens a new chapter in the relationship between humans and animals. One in which, perhaps, we can begin to understand more precisely what those who cannot talk to us with words feel.

Pegasus will have to pay 167 million for damages

by

Large technological ones presume to shield their ecosystems, but the reality is more complex: there are no infallible systems. And if there is an expert company in finding the right crack, That is nso Groupthe Israeli firm responsible for spy software Pegasus. Now, goal has achieved a historical judicial victory after six years of litigation: a federal jury He has condemned to pay more than 167 million dollars in punitive damagein addition to others $ 444,000 in compensatoryfor affecting WhatsApp users with their espionage tool. Goal declared the war to Pegasus. The demand was filed in 2019after discovering a massive attack that took advantage of a critical vulnerability in the WhatsApp call system. The Pegasus spyware could be installed on the devices through a simple call, even if the user did not respond. From there, it was able to activate the microphone and the camera, access messages, emails, locations and all types of sensitive data of the device. Suspicious infection attempts collected from the phone of a goal (Citizen Lab) The investigation was carried out in collaboration with Citizen Lab, that helped identify the possible affected: More than 1,400 users, including journalists, human rights and diplomatic activists. WhatsApp says that it directly notified each of these people and displayed urgent security patches. It was the first time that an encrypted messaging provider brought a private company to the courts to use espionage tools against its platform. Secrets that came to light. During the judicial process, NSO Group was forced to admit something that had been avoiding confirming: that his software is capable of silently compromising “the entire content” of a telephone. Pegasus can be infiltrated both in iOS and Android using different vectors – including zero day exploits, browsers and messaging services – and once installed, communicates with external servers to send the data. The trial forced, for the first time, to high positions to declare under oath. It was exposed how its salary surveillance system works, which operates as a service sold to governments and agencies. In addition, Meta made it clear that WhatsApp was not the only objective of NSO: its infrastructure was used to attack other services, and its activity affected users in at least 20 countries, according to Citizen Lab. Pegasus, in fact, it can compromise other applications encrypted as a signal, which expands the scope of the threat. The verdict that marks a precedent. As we say, the decision of the recently announced jury forces NSO to pay 167 million dollars for punitive damage and more than $ 444,000 for additional dollars for compensatory damages. It is the first judicial judgment in the United States that holds a Spyware company for the illegal use of its tools against technological platforms and civil users. Meta has not hesitated to point out this movement as an important advance for privacy and digital safety, and believes that the sentence acts as a deterrent for the entire spy software industry. Apple also tried to take them to trial. Apple presented its own demand against NSO Group in November 2021. He claimed that the company had used the Forcentry Exploit to compromise Apple devices through a manipulated identification system. The objective: install pegasus without user knowledge. The company solicitated a court order that prohibited the use of its software and services by NSO. However, it transpired that last year Apple decided to withdraw from the case. According to the motion presented before the Courtcontinuing with the process was a risk: they feared that confidential information about their threat intelligence system could be exposed. Apple argued that the current environment – more fragmented and with malicious actors more diverse than when the lawsuit was filed – made the potential benefits of the trial no longer compensate for safety risks for its users.

When Spacex suffered his worst incident, Elon Musk blamed a sniper of the competition. The FBI had to intervene

by

On the morning of September 1, 2016, Spacex suffered one of the most cautious and controversial incidents in its history. A Falcon 9 rocket that was vertical on the launch platform Suddenly exploded With the Israeli satellite A Amos-6 aboard. Elon Musk accused the competition. A violent explosion. It was one of the first times that Spacex operated the Falcon 9 rocket with cryogenic propelants, a technique that consists in superfrging the fuel and oxidant to maximize its performance. Before the launch, Spacex had planned a static ignition test, a routine procedure in which engines are tested with the rocket anchored to the platform, but everything was twisted eight minutes before ignition. A violent explosion transformed what was a rocket into a huge fireball. The payload was shot. Mark Zuckerberg’s anger. The AMOS-6 satellite was not any load. With a cost of 200 million dollars, he had a powerful customer: Mark Zuckerberg. Goal, then Facebook, had reached an agreement to provide Free Internet Access in Africa Thanks to the satellite. After the explosion, Zuck He publicly expressed A “deep disappointment” for the rocket explosion, comments that did not sit well in Spacex, where morality was on the ground. According to Ars Techcnicathis incident was one of the points of origin of the bad relationship between Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg, which years later would lead the first to eliminate Spacex and Tesla’s Facebook pages. The theory of the sniper. The most trospid of the incident was, however, the theory promoted by Elon Musk about the possible intervention of a sniper. Theory in which Spacex insisted throughout the official investigation of the incident, According to documentation that has just become public. Although Spacex engineers shuffled hundreds of hypotheses, Elon Musk promoted the idea of ​​an external sabotage: the shot of a sniper. It sounds crazy, but Musk saw the two main indications convincing: the break began about 60 meters high, on the side of the rocket that looked towards a building leased by its main competitor, United Launch Alliance. An alleged ULA shot. The ULA building, a joint business of Boeing and Lockheed Martin, was a kilometer and a half of the Spacex launch platform, a reasonable distance for a sniper. Put to believe, even seemed to see a flash on the roof of the building, coinciding with the time it would take a projectile to reach the rocket. The rivalry between SpaceX and ULA had then reached its peak. Ul still dominated the market of military and government launches, the most lucrative, but Spacex had just won a battle in the courts to compete for these contracts. However, accusing a sabotage competitor without evidence was a serious accusation. The FBI came to intervene. Azuzados by Musk, Spacex engineers thoroughly investigated the sniper theory. They tried to access the ULA roof and performed shooting against pressurized helium tanks to see if they exploited similarly to Falcon 9. The insistence was such that the Federal Aviation Administration had to intervene with a letter that denied the involvement of third parties. There was no sniper, although, as the documentation of the journalist Eric Berger has revealed For your book Recentryeven the FBI investigated the case. The federal agents reviewed the Spacex analysis and the video material, but they concluded that “there were no indications that suggested that sabotage or any other criminal activity played a role in the explosion of Falcon 9”. With this, FAA considered the closed matter. What happened then. The real cause of the rocket explosion and, with it, of the AMOS-6 satellite, was the process of loading propellents. In its eagerness to accelerate the refueling process with super -refrained liquid oxygen, the Spacex equipment filled the helium tanks too fast, heating the aluminum coating of the rocket and causing its deformation and rupture. Spacex would put the hair of Punta to the NASA security office for its procedure “Load and Go”, which proposed to raise astronauts to the rocket before loading fuel. Over time, not only would demonstrate the reliability of Falcon 9 (Last year he completed 137 launches against the five of ULA), but would become the main supplier of NASA manned releases to the International Space Station.

Can a gorilla win 100 men? The dilemma that is obsessively consuming to the Internet

by

Everyone on the Internet wonders who would win in a battle between a gorilla and one hundred men. It is a mere mental riddle without correct response, but formulated to open the discussion. That is why it has become THE MEME OF THE MOMENTand all types of users are facing the enigma from multiple approaches, from biological to ethical. The important thing, as they say, is not the answer, but the way to get to it. A war for all. The meme is very simple: it consists of discussing who would win in a battle under those conditions, a question that has been viralized at the end of April this year. Tiktokers like Tredouglass, Lov3Charlee either Rationniper They have opined on the subject (most of the time in favor of the gorilla), although the thing became a Global phenomenon When users with millions of followers like Elon Musk and Mr. Beast tweet on the subject. Origins of the meme. In February 2022, the Tiktoker YURI5KPT2 He wondered who would win in the battle. It was a first advance of the subject, which had no continuity, although it generated a remarkable response, more than three thousand comments. Previously, in 2020 in Reddit it had been discussed In a thread With some impact on media specialized in nature. Legendary clashes. Beyond, hypothetical clashes between unequal power factions make up a classic debate exercise. The asymmetry between combatants has always been Part of classical military theory. Where does it come from, if not, the legendary confrontation between David and Goliath. On the other hand, and already in more recent times, the asymmetric confrontation has become classic meme of war games, and users of titles such as’ Age of Empires’ or ‘Ultimate Epic Simulator‘(This in pure fantasy contexts) generate fighting with the editors who have millions of reproductions on YouTube. Some of them are that excessive: And of course, the meme has continued to grow, completely out of control, with street interviews, Animations, experiments with AI, simulations and innumerable opinion videos on the subject. Why do we like a anger. There is a reason for us to like this meme, comment, discuss it and contribute our opinion. Apart from that as gregarious creatures, there is nothing that we like more than taking sides for a side and argue for discussingthis confrontation has some symbolic, and there are more transcendent conflicts. The clash is also that of the brute and individual force against cooperation and strategy, in the same way that also symbolizes the eternal conflict of savagery against civilizationa debate that we love to resume and take to the extreme. Again, the Memes helping us to explain ourselves Simple and humorously. There are evolutionary psychologists who affirm in Media like Rolling Out that “these hypothetical discussions are modern expressions of ancient survival planning behaviors that once helped our ancestors develop in dangerous environments.” That is, the circle closes: we plan and discuss how to face the gorilla in a theoretical framework … just in case we have to do it in the real world. Yes, but … who would win? The time comes to give the response to the unknown. Many experts They seem to coincide In a front fight, the gorilla would undoubtedly win. However, if the man is on the cusp of the evolutionary pyramid is for something: he would very possibly find the way to manage to win, even if he improvise weapons to attack. A gorilla is between four and ten times stronger than a humanwhich makes it an unstoppable muscle mass with bare hands. Source | Joshua J.

NASA has just left ESA with Artemis

by

He Historic Tijeretazo to NASA On the part of the United States government has a clear victim: Europe. If Congress approves the cuts proposed by the Trump administration, the European Space Agency, one of NASA’s most faithful partners, will remain alone and with invoices payable in the most important projects that it shares with its American homologue. Context. The budget proposal of the White House for fiscal year 2026 includes a brutal cut for NASA, which would go from 24,800 to 18.8 billion dollars of annual budget, 25% less. The cuts are particularly primed With NASA’s scientific branchbut the United States lunar program and its partners have also placed upside down. He Artemis programthat Trump himself promoted in his first term, will remain in the hands of the private industry from 2027 with the cancellation of the SLS rocket and the Orion ship. The Lunar Gateway station, in which several international partners participate, has completely discarded. A slap to ESA. Although It was seen coming For a long time (Boeing herself He warned it to its employees at the beginning of the year), the cancellation of the SLS/ORION system has direct consequences for the European Space Agency. ESA is responsible for the European Service Module (ESM) that provides propulsion, energy and life support to the Orion ship and its crew. The first ESM was used in the mission without crew Artemis I. Two others will be used in the Artemis II and III missions. But in February 2021, ESA awarded Airbus a contract of 650 million euros for the manufacture of three additional modules (ESM-4, 5 and 6), which will now run out of use. The varapalo does not end there. Lunar Gateway was not an exclusively American project either. The Lunar Orbital Stationwhose launch was planned for 2027, was NASA designed In collaboration with the space agencies of Japan (Jaxa), Canada (CSA), United Arab Emirates and ESA itself. Of course, many of its components were in an advanced phase of development or manufacturing. Thales Alenia Space manufactured in Turin (Italy) The primary structure of the halo module, which was already in the United States for its final equipment. In addition, the ESA had in a test phase a model of Lunar I-Hab (A habitat type module developed in collaboration with Jaxa), and in the preliminary design phase the refueling and telecommunications module Lunar View (formerly known as Esprit). And the astronauts? These multimillionaires European investments, now in the air, They were currency to guarantee the presence of Astronauts of the ESA in the missions to the moon. The architecture of lunar missions will change completely from Artemis III. Taking into account that Artemis I was a mission without crew, that Artemis II has a Canadian on board as a non-American crewman, and that Artemis III is designed for NASA They step on the moon againIt is not clear at what time we will see Europeans step on the moon. After certifying for extravehicular activities at the International Space Station, Pablo Álvarez, The Spanish astronaut of the ESAhe planned to start his lunar training to use the future Gateway station. NASA looks at the private sector. The justification of the White House for this drastic change of course is “to return to the moon before China and put a man on Mars” (the references to place the first woman in Mars were eliminated from the NASA website as part of the measures to erase the initiatives of diversity, equity and inclusion). To do this, It will allocate 7,000 million dollars to a lunar program focused on “commercial systems that allow more ambitious later lunar missions.” All looks point to the Spacex Starship system and the Blue Moon Moon Module from Blue Origin. In addition, they reserve $ 1 billion to start a new manned program to Mars, Following Elon Musk’s recommendationswhose vision shares the future NASA administrator and also Jared Isaacman businessman. An approach that prioritizes the speed and reduction of costs through the private sector, leaving aside the traditional international collaboration models based on contributions from other agencies. Who looks at? The general director of ESA, Josef Aschbacher, has responded with the expected diplomacy. In A statementHe explains that follow -up meetings with NASA are already being held to evaluate the impact of cuts. “From here at the end of the year, ESA will celebrate the Council meeting at the ministerial level, determined to further enhance the role of Europe in space,” says Aschbacher, adding NASA to NASA in a subtle polish that that “undertakes not only to be a reliable partner, but also robust and desirable.” Will perhaps open a closer collaboration with China? China, of course, is willing to become “the new NASA.” Ha Open to international collaborators The tianwen-3 mission of marcian samples and the Robotic mission Chang-e’8 to the moon, perhaps aware that the power vacuum that the US leaves can be filled with a greater opening.

For example, if you want to add the comfort package, with systems as revolutionary as the opening of keyless doors or wireless recharge of the mobile phone for the front seats you can already add another 2,000 euros of extra. With four small details it is easy to go above 180,000 euros. A prohibitive price for most mortals and, of course, is far from the other Mercedes Class G Electric that you can find in the market. Yes, one for which just over 20,000 euros have been paid. One that, of course, is not an electric class G but imitates it with great detail. Too bad it is a golf cart And not a car, right? A $ 24,000 golf cart Because this Mercedes Class G can be bought at the price of a Dacia Duster, it is to anticipate that who has been done with him has enough money to buy a Mercedes class g of truth. The information is brought in The Drive who assure that a client has paid $ 24,000 for this golf cart converted to Mercedes G Class in Miniature, sold by Mecum auctionsspecialized in the auction of all types of special vehicles. On their website they explain that the supposed SUV is, in reality, a quadricycle (they call it golf cart) with a 10 kWh battery to cover up to 80 miles (about 120 kilometers). With a power of 15 kW (20 hp), the car is limited to 35 mph (56 km/h). That is, it is little more than in Europe we consider a light quadricycle. In the United States that Golf carts have become fashionable To do small daily errands. As with the Citroën Ami or the Fiat TopolinoThey are cars that cannot circulate on a highway or highway but are allowed to go to secondary roads and are widely used by older people who do not want to go far from home. That has promoted curious modifications such as this supposed electricity class G Class that perfectly mimics the body of the German car. Inside, the differences are more evident but has four disc brakes, assisted direction and rear camera to facilitate maneuvers. In addition, it carries a complete multimedia environment that with a screen for each passenger in the rear seats. In front of the information is distributed in A couple of twin screens which are integrated into the same frame. Of course, although disguised, with the images we can appreciate that what will be up to this Pseudo Mercedes Mercedes Electric Class will be the sum of many hard plastics. This imitation gives an idea that the grid market is dominated by purely practical models but that there is also a place for those who seek in them something of a fashion accessory. The pamper that Fiat has put to the tooline design It is a good example but also the irruption of Microlinoa reinterpretation of the BMW isetta that It is sold for 19,500 euros If we talk about the light quadricycle (it does not exceed 45 km/h) or 22,990 euros for the heavy grid.

The objective is clear: deactivate any illegal activity detected in their respective technological infrastructure.

In recent months, LaLiga has intensified His fight against unauthorized retransmission of parties. One of the methods used has been the blockade of IP addresses, a measure that, sometimes, has generated controversy by also affect services outside the illegal activity that is intended to combat. The new agreements go in the same address: the companies involved must act rapidly before any illegal issuance detected. The fixed commitment establishes an average response period of 15 minutes from the notification, although from LaLiga they ensure that the objective is to reduce that margin as much as possible to limit to the minimum the dissemination of the content in unofficial channels. No collateral damage. The organization also wants to prevent situations such as those mentioned above, in which indiscriminate blockages that affected legitimate services were produced. The goal is now to achieve a more precise intervention, which acts directly on illegal emission spotlights without generating side effects. Commitment to the audiovisual industry. From LaLiga they explain that these agreements are framed within effective programs for the protection of intellectual property rights. The signatory companies, they point out, demonstrate “a firm commitment to the audiovisual industry and with their own clients to offer them an experience that minimizes possible impacts, without giving up the protection of intellectual property, to security and the privacy of user data.” A technological ecosystem involved. Twitch, the well -known streaming platform owned by Amazon; Vercel, specialized in display of web applications; Scaleway, European cloud services provider; and Gcore, multinational that offers computing solutions, Edge Computing, CDN, accommodation and safety, add to this technological offensive. Together with CDN77 and Akamai, they form a diverse but aligned ecosystem with a common goal: to combat the illegal distribution of sports content through collaboration with technological intermediaries.
