Each shield of their cars and charges it as an extra

by

Luxury car manufacturers They mark differences With general manufacturers by Your extreme care For the detail and exclusivity. In the case of Ferrari, one of the most valued elements is The shield that adorns the fins front of their cars, a symbol that goes far beyond being a simple ornament and that represents the artisanal essence and The prestige of the brand. This shield is the emblem that represents the level of dedication and perfectionism that the brand founded by Enzo Ferrari printed in each of its models, thus justifying the High price of your cars. Ferrari’s shield, known as “Scudetto”, It’s not just a badge: It is a small work of art that requires a thorough and completely manual process. Therefore, instead of using a plaque or an adhesive as the majority would do, one by one is painted and, of course, it makes the final bill of the car increase a few thousand dollars because It is an extra option that must be added when configuring the car. Each ‘Scudetto Aerografato’ is unique The process of Personalization in Ferrari It is so detailed that each car can be configured to the extreme, allowing customers to access an almost endless list of extras. In fact, the Personalization of supercar and luxury cars has become such a lucrative business how to build the car itself. The scudetti “Scuderia Ferrari” is one of the most emblematic and, although its price varies according to the model and the country, It is usually between 1,000 and 2,000 euros. For example, the collector Shmee150 had In a video On the customization of its Ferrari 296 GTS, which the cost of the shields was 1,325 euros. In a Ferrarista forum, a user published the budget photo of the customization of a Ferrari 458 Italia and the painting of the shields amounted to 1,183 euros. Touch the image to go to the original message As Ferrari herself showed in a published video In his X profilethe creation of each shield is A completely handmade process which demands a high degree of precision and patience. Each of the two shields that are placed in the front fins of a Ferrari requires up to eight hours of manual work, which is a total of 16 hours dedicated exclusively to this detail in each car. Maranello’s brand assured That this work is carried out by artisan experts from the Ferrari Painting Department, who apply several layers of paint and submit each shield to rigorous quality control before the car leaves the factory. Ferrari could opt for faster and more economic methods, but according to Stefano del Puglia, head of painting in Maranello, this decision does not respond to the lack of mechanized alternatives, but to the intention of making each Ferrari Be truly unique and of Increase the value of each vehicle For its owner. “The simplest solution would have been to use stickers, covered with a layer of transparent varnish to keep them in place and protect them from the weather. But Ferrari is not known for looking for the easy solution,” he said of the puglia. According to published The brand of ‘Il Cavallino Rampante’, “is an artisanal approach that is adopted not due to lack of mechanized alternatives; it is a deliberate effort, a part of what makes each Ferrari unique, something that improves the value of each car for its owner.” Somehow, they say from Ferrari, “it is like an autograph of its creator.” In Xataka | Luxury cars manufacturers already react to US tariff In Xataka | Ferrari is already noticing “the great transfer of wealth”: millennials and generation Z are already its main clients Image | Unspash (Jash Kothari)

Specialty coffee is expensive and there is something that increases it even more: to remove caffeine

by

For many, drinking coffee is almost a daily ritual. There are those who take it for pleasure or by necessity, but there is also the case of Who wants all their benefitsexcept Caffeine. There are many ways to decaffeinate coffee, and not all are equally healthy. Among all methods, we know two that are employees for specialty coffee to remain specialty. Now, they are tremendously technical and more expensive than the most general methods. Market. The demand for decaffeinated coffee is experiencing sustained growth in recent years. In more commercial coffees Like capsules Or snapshots, we have decaffeinated varieties for a long time, but increasingly easy to find options among specialty coffees. Depending on the indicator we take (total market or only grains), and depending on the analysis, it is esteem That the decaffeinated coffee bean market was $ 31,580 million in 2024, with a projection to 41,050 million dollars by 2032. Others analysis They estimate it at 6,740 million in 2023, with a growth up to 12,330 million by 2031. The way they are, in what they coincide is that it is a upward market. Controversy without decaffeinar. Something that has also increased is awareness about what we eat. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle depends on a lot of factors, and that saying of “we are what we eat” points in an adequate direction. Why do I say this? Because there are several ways to eliminate coffee from coffee (although there is always a certain residual percentage), but not all are as natural as we would like. The two most used methods are precisely the most controversial. One is the one who uses methylene chloride to dissolve caffeine. In the process, the solvent is eliminated by evaporation and grains, subsequently, it is washed and dry, passing controls so that the solvent residues are maintained below the legal limits. The other uses ethyl acetate, which is a compound that is found naturally in some fruits and the process is the same as in methylene chloride. Although it is considered more natural, it is still a chemical solvent that can also leave an aroma impregnated in coffee. More natural processes. These processes in which solvents are used have been at the point of view of organizations such as the United States Food and Medicines Administration, being the methylene chloride in the conversation. But there are other methods that are used to substantially reduce the coffee level of coffee. One is the swiss water process. In it, the grains immerse themselves in hot water to dissolve caffeine. Then, the water goes through active carbon filters that retain only caffeine and this process is repeated until the grains contain a minimum percentage of caffeine. Image: Swiss Water Process Another is the one who uses Supercritical co₂. In it, the grains undergo high pressures and expose themselves to CO₂ in a supercritical state, acting as a selective solvent for caffeine. Decaffeination through the supercritical co₂ method | Image: James Hoffmann Technology to coffee power. That they are more natural does not imply that there is no sophisticated technological network after the process. James Hoffman, one of the reference baristas for coffee world lovers, has visited facilities in which this decaffeination process is carried out through the Swiss Water technique and we can see that … it is a fairly boring environment: There are simply drums, silos and warehouses in which that “soaking” of the grains, drying and storage is being carried out. But the key is in the control room. Hoffmann cannot show us the graphs that are used to control these processes, but comments that they have computers connected to probes that, in real time, send information of the caffeine present in the grains in several points of the process. Thus, the technicians are adjusting the process until leaving the caffeine necessary to be considered decaffeinated without altering the properties of the grains themselves. The great drums | Image: James Hoffmann And the cabin in which the information of all the sensors is collected to send it to the technicians responsible for supervising the process | Image: James Hoffmann Specialty. These are two more natural methods because they do not use chemicals or solvents, and something for which they are appreciated is because they better retain both the aromas and the original aromas of the grains. And there is a segment that interests that this is: that of specialty coffee. In the search for a coffee with a better flavor, but above all more sustainable for both farmers and the planet, the specialty coffee is earning a hole between palates both understood and profane. In regions such as Europe and North America, the global specialty coffee market is growing at a 10% annual rate. Of $ specialty coffee. Now, decaffeinated specialty coffee is 1 + 1. The specialty coffee is expensive because there is a meticulous process behind. They are selected crops, the harvests are usually done by hand, they have strict control processes for washing and drying, implies fair trade, more sustainable practices and a lower volume. All that makes it a more expensive coffee both to produce and buy. But, in addition, processes such as Swiss Water or the Supercritical Co₂, due to its complexity, the time that is required and, especially in the case of the supercritical co₂, due to the infrastructure to be mounted, make this type of coffee even more. They take away the caffeine, but add some cents to the price. Tags. That is why the methods without solvents are more used in the decaffeination processes of instant coffee, capsule or the most common mixtures that we find in the bar and the supermarket, while the most natural and expensive methods are those associated with decaffeinated specialty coffee. If you are a consumer worried about this, the way of knowing how your favorite coffee has been decaffiled is … Looking for information and look at the labels. When a coffee uses methods such as the supercritical CO2 … Read more

We already know what substance the prehistoric Europeans for their shamanic rites consumed

by

Some strands of hair 3,000 years hidden in a corner of the island of Menorca. It is all that a group of researchers needed to find direct evidence older of the consumption of psychoactive substances in Europe. Drugs attributed to local shamans and their religious rites, in which they would be used as sensory potentiars. How to get here. Until now the evidence of this type of substance in the past were indirect: samples found in vessels or remains of plants in the deposits, as pointed out in statements collected by The country Elisa Guerra twelve, one of the authors of the investigation. The strands in which the substances were detected had been dyed red and hairstyles before their cut. “Thanks to extraordinary conservation conditions, the hair and all the instruments used in their treatment have reached our days and have been able to be scientifically analyzed,” he explained In a press release Cristina Rihuete, another of the researchers involved in the finding. Three alkaloids. The substances identified in the strands are the efedrine, atropine and scopolamine alkaloids. The first of these substances is a stimulant today used, for example, as a bronchodilator. Atropine and scopolamine on the other hand are substances considered hallucinogenic and psychoactive. These substances can be found in different plants belonging to the insular flora of Menorca, such as the epfradra (Ephedra Fragilis), the mandragora (Mandragora Autumnalis), The White Beleño (Hyoscyamus albus) and the estramonium (Stramonium datura), All of them belonging to the Solanáceas family. A small necropolis. Due to the context, the researchers consider that drugs were consumed before dying. The capillary samples belong to ten individuals, of the 210 who could be buried in the cave. The fact that the funeral rite of these ten individuals was slightly different from that of the rest, together with the fact that other differences are not appreciated that could denote a society with classes, castes or other form of social stratification, makes researchers think that it was some kind of shamans or spiritual or religious leaders. Multidisciplinary team. The details about the investigation were published in An attrition In the magazine Scietific Reports. It details that the substances were found when performing a liquid chromatography of ultra high performance coupled to high-resolution mass spectrometry (UHPLC-HRMS). The team responsible for the finding was made up of prehistoriators and archaeologists from the University of Valladolid and the Research Group of Mediterranean Social Archeoecology of the Autonomous University of Barcelona (Asome-UB); and for Hermann M. Niemeyer, chemist from the University of Chile. Interior of the COVA des Càrritx (above); Vaso with a spoon and wood comb found in the Menorquín site (below). ASOME-UAB. It is Càrritx. Closed by a detachment about 2,800 years agothe Càrritx cave was rediscovered in 1995 by two local speleologists, Pere Arnau and Josep Márquez, who achieved in that year access to their interior. The cave is located northwest of the island of Menorca, about 10 kilometers from Ciutadella and extends throughout 170 meters, in a route in which seven rooms are distinguished, the first vestibular being, the place where the human remains were found. The other important part of this funeral complex was after a narrow passage, in room six. In it the archaeologists found the locks of human hair introduced in cylindrical containers created from of woodwood, heather and olive and bovid horn. Other objects such as glasses and a wooden comb were also found; ceramic pieces and a bronze blade. On either side of the Atlantic. The use of “shamanic drugs” is often associated with pre -Columbian cultures, but we have long known that it was actually much more widespread. A example of this is the use of derivatives of the cannabis In the China of the Zhou dynasty, 2,500 years ago. Guerra-Doce made A few years ago a Review to archaeological tests of drug and fermented drug use in prehistory. With the new work, our knowledge about the use of this type of chemicals expands. Perhaps we never know the details about the rituals in which the alkaloids found were used, but little by little we are knowing details about how they were who inhabited Europe millennia before us. And some things they had in common with us.

What cars can circulate and which ones rest on May 3

by

First week of May … or, at least, first weekend of May and first Saturday in May. You know what that means: with us, the restrictions of today do not circulate sabbatino. Because in addition to a few days of rest, the weekend is also synonymous with restrictions. If you still do not know what we are talking about, it is because you are not aware of the project devised by the CDMX Ministry of Environment (Sedema) with which he tries to breathe the quality of the air we breathe. As? The fact that? Let’s explain it. SEDEMA IS OBJECTIVE Improve air quality We breathe. And that has an easy solution, as long as we talk about leaving the car at home. At least, that is what those who have designed this measure think. If we leave the car at home, we will all breathe better … at least where it applies. Because, indeed, today does not circulate does not apply throughout Mexico, it is launched in the 16 mayorships in Mexico City and in the following conurbed municipalities of the State of Mexico: Atizapán de Zaragoza Coacalco de Berriozábal Cuautitlán Cuautitlán Izcalli Chalco Chicoloapan Chimalhuacán Ecatepec de Morelos Huixquilucan Ixtapaluca La Paz Naucalpan de Juárez Nezahualcóyotl Nicolás Romero Tecámac Tlalnepantla de Baz Tultitlán Chalco Valley What cars and plaques affect the Sabatino today Once we know this, what are the restrictions that we have to take into account? Obviously, on Saturdays we cannot circulate … at least a few. Because the restrictions do not apply for everyone or the same logic as the rest of the week. As you can see above, in the day to day it is the hologram of the car that marks who and when they can circulate. But on Saturdays they have their own dynamics, with some cars that rotate and others that can never move. Actually, with current restrictions you can give the following cases: Cars that can circulate every Saturday Cars that have to rest every Saturday Cars that rest on a Saturday yes and another Restrictions, yes, do not apply all day. They are active between 05:00 and 10:00 p.m.. That is, at night we can move freely and without taking into account any type of restriction. So how should we read the Sabatino today? Simply those who are affected by him will have to stay at home if they don’t want to be fined. Therefore, you have to be very clear if you have or not to rest. To begin with, cars with hologram 2 rest every Saturday, there is not one that can move. On the contrary, those of Hologram 0 and 00 can circulate whenever they want because cars are considered less pollutants. It is those of Hologogram 1 that have to be more attentive because in this case it is broken. This week, as we are facing the first Saturday of May, they are the cars with hologram 1 and plate number finished in an odd figure that must stay at home. Next week will be the other way around but this Saturday, May 3, 2025who cannot leave are those of Hologram 2 and those of Hologram 1 and plate finished in odd number. Next week the hologram 1 and plaque finished in torque will be rest. Despite this, there are some exceptions that must be taken into account because those cars can move with total freedom: Those that work for electricity, natural gas or are hybrid Those who have disabled plate All those dedicated to urban transport services (includes funerals) Those who offer school or passenger transport Those destined for public safety and/or civil protection In case of breaching these restrictions, the fine will be 20 to 30 times the unit of measurement and update (Uma), which is equivalent to 1,924.40 pesos and even 2,886.60 pesos.

His future Baza will be in two key cards that promise to change air combat

by

Imagining a combat plane of the future is not difficult. The difficult thing is to build it. That is precisely the ambition behind the storm: a sixth generation hunt that does not intend to resemble current airplanes, but to rewrite how air combat is understood. The project, promoted by United Kingdom, Italy and Japan within the framework of Global Combat Air Program GCAP, does not pursue only a technical evolution. It is a declaration of intentions on technological sovereignty and defense. Tempest is not a simple new generation hunting. The Royal Air Force defines it as “The heart and mind connected to an air combat system”, Able to integrate sensors, weapons and data into a single operating flow. In other words, the Tempest is not only a platform with wings, but the center of command of a swarm of technologies that communicate with each other to make decisions faster. The future hunt seeks to act as the tactical brain of an operation. That translates into a series of simple requirements. One of the most important is autonomy. As explained in the official podcast of the programthe storm aspires to reach a “really extreme” range, wide enough to cross the Atlantic without reposting. At the moment it is an objective under study, not a closed requirement. This autonomy would seek to allow prolonged operations without depending on cistern aircraft, in scenarios where to enter and leave the enemy territory is less challenging. The other key requirement is load capacity. The objective, according to the words of the director of the Team of Requirements and conceptualization of the United Kingdom Ministry of Defense, is that it exceeds that of the F-35even reaching Duplicate your total armament capacity. There is no precise figure on the table. What is safe is the ambition to turn the Tempest into a platform that integrates not only more missiles, but also advanced and electronic war sensors, without compromising its stealth profile. The hunting that wants to be brain, muscle and network From the beginning, the design of the Tempest revolves around the idea of ​​a digital ecosystem. BAE Systems, Leonardo, Rolls-Royce and MBDA are working on technologies that are not limited to fuselage. The program is structured around systems such as Isanke (Integrated sensors and non -kinetic effects) and ICS (communications), that will form an intelligent network between fightersdrones and other assets of the battlefield. The goal is for the pilot to have more information, more context and more reaction options than any adversary. An F-35 Florida (left), render of the storm (right) All this requires power. Propulsion power, but also electric. As explained Rolls-Roycethe new propulsion system Not only will the plane movebut it will generate sufficient electricity to feed advanced sensors, electronic war systems and, probably, Laser weapons. The architecture will be open, modular and prepared to receive updates over time, something key in an environment where military technology changes every few years. Manufacturing tasks of the main structure (left), motor tests (right) That approach also moves to the manufacturing process. The project is betting on digital engineering techniques, automation, real -time modeling and simulation by digital twins. The technology demonstrator, which is already built in Warton, will serve to validate all that approach. According to BAE Systems datamore than half of its structural weight, including fuselage and wings, is already in production. In addition, the British Ministry of Defense has confirmed that Part of technological development includes experimental recycling of tornado aircraft components. The so -called project ‘Tornado 2 Tempest‘He managed to successfully print pieces such as a nose cone and blades for a test engine. This is a proof of concept that seeks to reduce costs, minimize the dependence of critical metals and explore new manufacturing paths with lighter and more resistant materials. To all this is added the human factor. More than 2,500 people already work in the program in the United Kingdom. Many of them are young engineers trained within the Generation Tempest initiative. As technological advances and international alliances are added, the Tempest ceases to be a concept to become a tangible reality. The expectations are high and we will have to wait to know if they are met. Everything indicates that it will be a hunt very different from everything known.

Apple loses the war against Epic. Fortnite returns triumphant and Spotify already prepares its rematch

by

Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers accuses Apple of lying under oath and eliminates commissions for external paymentsopening the door to important changes in the application market. Why is it important. The judge has ordered Apple to stop commissions on external purchases and have eliminated restrictions on how developers can lead users to alternative payment methods. This decision can be a before and after in the app industry … and cut billions of Apple’s annual revenues. The sentence dismantles Apple’s strategy, which tried to avoid the 2021 court order charging a 27% commission for external purchases and installing “fear screens” to deter users from using options outside their ecosystem. Between bambalins. The judge accused Apple’s Vice President of “Lying blatantly under oath” and has sent the case to the Prosecutor’s Office to investigate possible contempt crimes. According to judicial documents, Apple knew perfectly what he was doing and “at every moment he chose the most anti -competitive option.” The magistrate also revealed that Tim Cook ignored the advice of Phil Schiller, head of the App Store, who advocated complying with the original order without charging commissions. “Cook chosen badly,” he said in A demolition failure of 80 pages. The background. It all started in 2020 when Epic Games included in Fortnite its own payment systemcausing its immediate expulsion from the App Store. Although Apple He won most original litigation issuesThe judge ruled that the company was limiting the competition by preventing developers from informing users about payment alternatives. The new sentence arrives after years of legal battle and dismantles the business model that represents an important part of the almost 100,000 million dollars that Apple enters annually for services. What is happening. Epic Games has announced that Fortnite will return to the American App Store next week. His CEO, Tim Sweeney, has offered a “peace proposal”: if Apple applies this framework without worldwide commissions, Epic will return to all app store and leave all related litigation. Meanwhile, Spotify has already sent an update of its application that will allow US users to see subscription prices, access external purchase links and change between different plans without going through the Apple payment system. The company considers this ruling as “the most important action to date” against Apple anti -competitive practices. The big question. Will this sentence change the way in which all application stores operate? Epic is already positioning an attractive offer: since June, developers will not pay commissions for the first million dollars of income through their store. This case could be a turning point, especially because it adds to the regulatory pressure that Apple already faces in Europe with the Digital Markets Law. For users, it means more payment options, possible discounts and a more transparent experience when buying digital content. In Xataka | Apple has been obsessed with the Iphone Premium for years.

Ten years later, Xiaomi has recovered the smartphone crown in China. And he has done it more huawei than ever

by

Ten years later, Xiaomi has recovered a crown that had been taken away: that of his native country. The company has just exceeded Huawei and is, at least in this first quarter of 2025, The first mobile brand in China. The key to get it, curiously, is increasingly Huawei. An overwhelming annual growth. Regarding the same quarter of 2023, Xiaomi has grown no less than 40%. Huawei does it in 12%, and I live in 2%. In total, the company sent 13.3 million phones in its native country, very close to 13 million Huawei. These figures make Xiaomi recover a first position he did not enjoy for a decade. Its scenario is favorable: Chinese brands They are the only ones that grow in their native country, and if this Xiaomi trend will be easy to strengthen its position. The reasons for success. According to Canals, the growth of Xiaomi is helped by national subsidy policies and a rebound of the Chinese consumer consuming even more national company in full tariff war. Beyond the support of your country, analyzing Xiaomi’s strategy helps to understand its success. A quite similar to that of the rival that follows more closely: Huawei. Xiaomi has a price of price very consistent in China through the different distributors, and a product diversification that drives you to continue growing as a brand. Its product portfolio has long stopped focusing only on the mobile: they are introduced into the electric carthe Aiot world, and especially in China they have a very interconnected portfolio with Hyperos. Xiaomi is stop selling only product: Sell ​​ecosystem. Boom (for a long time) of national brands, solid product strategy, Pricing aggressive and a strong ecosystem. It is no accident: the two brands that grow the most in China and lead this market bet on these pillars. The importance of AI. Deepseek is having a fundamental role in Chinese mobile sales. While in Europe we bet on Gemini and Chatgpt on Android, in China the integration with Depseek is quite deep.

In the case of Xiaomi, Depseek is integrated into Hyperos to enhance its Super Xiaoai assistant, integrating the functions of deep thinking (R1) within the operating system itself. The current Chinese podium. After Xiaomi’s victory, photography in China is the following, at least in the first quarter of the year. Xiaomi, 19% market share Huawei, 18% market share Oppo, 15% market share LIVE, 10.4 MARKET FEE Apple, 9.2% market share In full tariff war, Apple will have it difficult to grow in China. In fact, in this first period of the year, its fall is 8%. On the side of Chinese brands, Oppo is the only one that does not grow. Xiaomi, Huawei and Vivo start the year in positive. An independent market. The presence of Chinese mobiles in Europe is remarkable. So much that Xiaomi, Vivo and Oppo occupy the third, fourth and fifth position of the podium in the first quarter of 2025, Behind Samsung and Apple. But the Chinese market is different. It’s a Market with special weight of national technology, and a hyperdigitized retail channel that allows it to be even more competitive in price.

Apple anticipates 900 million dollars of tariff impact. It is equivalent to the cost of producing almost two million iPhone

Apple has released the financial bomb that Wall Street was waiting for: 900 million dollars in extra costs For Trump’s tariffs. The figure, although considerable, is less devastating than feared by analysts, a possible sign of the stealthy preparation that Apple had been executing for months. The backdrop. Apple has exceeded expectations with 95.4 billion dollars in income, but The commercial war Draw a complicated horizon. Actions, in fact, fell 4% after closing. Not because of the present, above the expected, but for what will arrive after June. The market was waiting for clear answers about the future from Apple, but instead received well -calculated evasive. The money trail. Apple has also reduced its sharing repurchase program by 10,000 million compared to the previous year. It is the typical financial movement that goes unnoticed between tariff holders, but betrays a defensive position: Apple is accumulating effective before the commercial storm that is coming. The company that presumed from its treasury now protects it more than ever. Between the lines. “I don’t want to predict the future because I’m not sure what will happen to tariffs,” Cook said in The subsequent call with investors. It is not very common for a CEO to expose its uncertainty, and even less if we talk about Cook, known for its meticulous planning. Perhaps it is a symptom of the real problem: neither an all Apple can foresee the turns of Trump’s tariff policy. Emergency logistics reorganization, diverting iPhone manufacture towards India And from the rest of the products to Vietnam, it is impressive, but improvised: a plan B for which the deadlines have had to be accelerated. At stake. The battle goes beyond 900 million in a quarter: it is for the future of Apple’s business model. It is the sale of premium products with margins far superior to the average of its sector manufactured in Asia. If India is 5% or 8% more expensive than China, as analysts anticipate, it could lead to a blow to profitability. And would go far beyond a quarter. It is the first act of the threat of change for the technological value chain. In Xataka | Apple loses the war against Epic.
