The comic-with Malaga is a milestone for the city and for Spain. His challenge is now to find out what kind of event he wants to be

by

Malaga will have Your own comic-withwith the denomination of official origin of what is the Convention of Comics in particular and entertainment for the most famous and influential Fandom in the world, the world, the Comic-Con de San Diego. It will be the first time that the brand leaves the United States and will be held in the Andalusian city between Thursday, September 25 and Sunday 28 of this same 2025, according to The South newspaper advances. Malaga, how beautiful you are. The news He caught the fandom by surprise At the beginning of the week: we will have Comic-Con in Malaga, a candidacy that the organization of the original event has been working with the Junta de Andalucía and the City of Malaga. Before the final approval, a Comic-Con delegation examined spaces, communications and other infrastructure, according to means like Malaga’s opinion. The intention of this first edition outside the US is to strengthen the Comic-Con international brand with a European branch, and in principle this collaboration will last three years, after which the contract will be considered to renew. The comic-with is the comic-with. That the comic-with land in Spain is extraordinary not only by the brand itself, but for our tradition of comics related events, abundant throughout our geography and with a particular identity. Perhaps the salt of the Barcelona comic is the one that approximates him the most, although he focuses exclusively on comics, unlike the comic-with. Other conventions in Spain. The different and failed intentions of doing something closer to the American experience in Madrid have resulted in not very lucid events, such as Multiple expocamic mutations. At the end of March the promising is celebrated I Madrid comic Fairof more informative than commercial ambitions. And Malaga has had its own convention, the Freakcon, this more verbenera, and which is held in May in Torremolinos. Comics? One of the first doubts that this event has raised has been the first names associated with it, which are not mostly national or international, but fmasters who have rarely been linked to the industry. And yes, the Eternal Paco Roca or Carlos Areces and Álex de la Iglesia, historical fans to the medium appears. But names also appear there that have little or nothing to do with the industry, such as film directors Joaquín Mazón, Daniel Sánchez Arévalo, Icíar Bollaín or Santiago Segura, fond of the medium and scriptwriter under pseudonym in the nineties of the ‘small and vicious pornographic comic. It is clear the openly pending orientation of the cinema that this event has. All for tourism. There is another essential aspect to understand this comic-with that escapes the strictest limits of the comic: the Palace of Fairs of Malaga will be the center of the event, but it has already been spoken with the organization of satellite locations in other spaces of the capital, some of them outdoors, to house presentations, encounters and parallel shows. Let’s not forget that the Andalusian Tourism Office is involved in the organization, and that there is the substantial precedent of the Latin Grammy in Sevillethat They left according to South An economic impact close to 50 million euros and more than ten thousand visitors. International visitors and the good infrastructure of the city to transport and accommodate them have done a lot to make the candidacy. The price issue. The sudden of the ad and the strange list of guests to start with the guests has made the first suspicions of the fans lift, which all orbit around the price of the event. The possibility of bringing internationally renowned personalities and in the amount that San Diego does is unlikely, because the price would shoot: remember that the Comic-with is no longer only an event of editorial releases (as in Spain with the Saló or the Book Fair), but of ads of the great producers: Marvel and Warner leave some of their bombings of the year for those days for those days for those days for those days, Robert Downey Jr. and His return to MCU as Dr. Doom. Entering is not free. That attraction not only for comics readers, but for all types of audiences, and for an international demography, is a remarkable problem: the entrance for Saló It is at 10-18 eurosthat of the comic-with goes to 80 dollars It is impossible for us to maintain that cost if you want the company to be profitable, where the Spanish fan has even problems to pay for an autograph, a very widespread custom out. Minor stars. Is the Comic-with to submit only to minor or local stars so that the price is not dismissed to limits that the Spanish public would not pay (how many fans would they be willing to get rid of one hundred euros for a Selfie With Ryan Reynolds?)? It is a great possibility, unless Málaga trusts that its tourist attraction (and the date: just when summer heat is vanuing) attracts economies with the most resistant portfolio. So for now, doubts are more than the certainties around the comic-with. The main one, as adapting to the Spanish Fandom an event that owes it too much, by definition, to the US characteristics.

Volkswagen already has its first electric car of 20,000 euros ready. The rest of its cost will pay it with discomfort

by

“Mobility for all.” Those are the words that Volkswagen has used to present its Volkswagen ID. Every1the concept and first advance of the cheapest electric car in the company. A utility that has marked the border of 20,000 euros as a red line. We will not see it, yes, until 2027. Before the one we now know as Volkswagen ID. 2allanother car that used a word game to convince us that we are facing cars that should popularize technology. A challenge in itself. It is a challenge because we talk about cars of 20,000 and 25,000 euros … starting. Vehicles that undoubtedly improve the experience in city but almost abandon the idea of ​​being able to leave a radius of action of about 200 kilometers if it is not folding to important discomforts. What can we expect in the coming years? A little context As we have been following in recent months, the European Union is determined to generalize the use of the electric car above any other technology. At the moment, the prohibition of using Combustion engines that are not neutral in carbon from 2035 is still underway. But we must remember that the objectives in matters of Emissions for 2030 They are very ambitious and are largely electrifying the majority of the fleet sold by manufacturers. Before, in 2027, the average emissions sold by the manufacturers between 2025 and that exercise will be forced Do not exceed 93.6 gr/km of CO2. The norm has recently been flexible because it was intended to force (and must still approve its modification) to the manufacturers complying with the aforementioned limit before the end of the year. If they would not have faced a thousand millionaire fines that are now in the air. The European Commission has been folded to MANUFACTURERS REQUIREMENTSYes, but only in part. If in this 2025 a company exceeds the volume of average emissions of 93.6 gr/km of CO2 will have to compensate in the coming years selling all the Electric and plug -in hybrids that can before 2027. And that is where electric cars of between 20,000 and 25,000 euros come into play, the great hope for companies that have pressed everything possible to avoid fines and have received an oxygen ball but will have to face a new red line in the short term again. The big doubt is: is the customer willing to buy these vehicles? Goodbye to the cheap car “for everything” … and “for all” The promise of an electric car of 20,000 euros that is defined as propitious “for anyone” is, in 2025, an ambitious attempt. At least, as we say, with the eyes of 2025 because it is possible that in a few years we have become accustomed to something completely different. It is something that should happen if you want to sell as churros cars like Volkswagen’s. The German company has given few technical details but A 95 hp electric car progresseslimited to 130 km/hy 250 kilometers of autonomy According to WLTP cycle. If those latest data are confirmed, we can expect a road exit to force us to stop every 170-180 kilometers. Of course, they are estimates based on the experience that gives us to try electric vehicles of all kinds. At the moment, as a general rule, at a sustained speed of 120 km/h We can expect a drop of 25-30% in the estimate presented according to the WLTP cycle. We speak, of course, to leave the drums dry. If we estimate 25% less electric autonomy, we talk about traveling 200 kilometers from the pull but If we don’t want shocks We will have to stop in a charger a little earlier. Is that a problem? It depends for those who but, with most of the people with whom I speak, yes. And it is nothing more than a sensation but it seems difficult to sell the benefits of an electric car with an autonomy of 200 kilometers on open road if the potential customer has to spend at least 20,000 euros. Or know very well what is carried or the most normal thing is that it rejects it. Why choose an electric car of 20,000 euros … Although it sounds difficult to believe, a 20,000 euros car with a 250 -kilometer WLTP autonomy can be a large purchase as the only car if the customer knows what he takes. Yes, I am convinced and these are the reasons. The ideal client would be that person who makes more than 40 or 50 kilometers on a day to day And he has a place to load the car. If you usually do not make long trips (one or two a year) you can assume the discomforts of stopping every 180 kilometers when you see the money that has been saved at the end of the month. To give an example, assuming a consumption of 15 kWh/100 km in city and a 10 cents/kWh recharge cost (nothing especially cheap in a home rate) will spend 1.5 euros per 100 kilometers traveled. If 250 kilometers between Monday and Friday, the cost of the week in energy will not reach 4 euros. On the contrary, a hybrid that, on average, makes a consumption of 5 l/100 km in the city, we will be talking about an expense of nine euros per 100 kilometers. Those same 250 kilometers between Monday and Friday increase to 22.5 euros. Every week the driver of an electric car with these figures is saving 18.5 euros. Every month we talk about 74 euros. A year are almost 900 euros. Here We are not counting the cost of maintenance (Change of oils, filters, mobile parts of the combustion engine …), so the expected savings is greater. In addition, we are not contemplating the comfort in comfort that an electric car is in a day -to -day basis. This part is purely subjective but the absence of noise, vibrations and the immediate delivery of the motor torque (although … Read more

pay money if you stop using it

by

You should look at Instagram. Not for nothing, but because you can make money with it. It is the original proposal of Digital B100, part of Abanca, to reward its clients. A striking idea that wants you to take care of you and reward you for it. Health account. This is the name of This financial product that B100 offers a remuneration of 3.40% Tae – the highest in the market – with a limit of 50,000 euros. The curious thing is not that generous remuneration, but how it encourages you to lead a healthier life and how, in fact, reward you for it. How to “fill” the Health account. All part of your original B100 account, in which you have your savings. You cannot transfer money without more than the B100 to the Health account: you have to “win” those transfers leading a healthier life. And when you move money to that Health account it is when you benefit from that special remuneration. Income for moving. To start, there is the challenge Move To Savethat rewards you for walking or running. The idea is that you travel walking or running from 6,000 to 20,000 steps to your rhythm. You can decide how much money you want it to move from your B100 account to your Health account when you meet that goal, from one to 30 euros. And income for using less social networks. Something similar happens with the other challenge, called Off to savewhich encourages customers to mark a maximum time of use of X, Bluesky, Facebook, Instagram, Tiktok and Snapchat, from 15 minutes to an hour. The less time in networks, the more money to enter. If you manage not to exceed those limits, you can go entering more and more money in this remunerated account. Thus, if you establish a daily hour of use of these social networks, you can spend a maximum of 4 euros. If you limit it to 45 minutes, you can pass up to 9 euros, and if you do 30 minutes you can enter up to 15 euros in the Health account. Finally, if you only use social networks 15 minutes, you can transfer up to 30 euros. The B100 app does not see what you see or public, you just need to know if you meet those established time limits. The Health account money is always available. If the client meets these two objectives, he may transfer up to 60 euros a day, that is, up to 1,800 euros per month. For a balance of 5,000 euros, 3.40% represents annual income of 167.68 euros, for example. The liquidation is monthly, and it is received – or rather, is admitted to the 12th of each month. That money from the Health account is always available. Care: As of May 1, the TAE in the Health account will become 3.20%. They don’t give you money, “you give it to you” you. Although it seems that the message is that if you walk or use less social networks they will pay you for it, in reality what you do is benefit from greater TAE and a better profitability of your savings. An initiative in collaboration with friends screens. B100 has collaborated with the non -profit association Friendly screenswhich since 2004 works in the field of digital well -being. Its founder and director, Javier Flores, Indian That according to a recent study, 77% of Spaniards between 18 and 55 believe that spending less time on social networks is beneficial for them. More and more time in front of the mobile. It is not a bad idea, of course, especially since we spend a lot, a lot of time looking at the mobile. A Telefónica study of 2024 estimated in five hours and a minute the time we use the mobile, 5.6% more than the previous year. 34.7% of that time invested in messaging applications and social networks. The idea of ​​Abanca and B100 seems therefore a success. Image | Magnet.me In Xataka | A European bizum is possible.

rent balconies at 1,000 euros

by

Who has a balcony has a treasure, a very profitable one and that can be measured in hundreds (or even thousands) euros. The important thing is that the terrace in question is located in the right place, such as the route they follow The steps Holy Week in the main cities of Andalusia or the Mascletás that are held in Valencia. There, in the capital of Turia, the rental of viewpoints overlooking the pyrotechnic show has become a lucrative business that moves great sums. There are those who assure that in very special cases, with a company in between, they have come to disburs More than 100,000 euros. The value of a good balcony. A few years ago Ikea launched A campaign in which he invited to take advantage of the unused terraces of Spain. What the Swedish multinational was not imagined is to what extent its advice is applied on some balconies in Spain, viewpoints strategically located for their views of tourist points. Andalusia leaves A good example Every Holy Week in the balconies distributed over the route of religious steps. Bilbao offered another A few months ago during the Copera del Athletic celebration. And every March, in the heat of failure programming, something similar happens in Valencia. The business of renting views. He arrives with a quick search on Google to meet a good handful of websites that rent balconies in buildings in the center of Valencia from which to enjoy The Mascletásthe pyrotechnic show that during Much of March It is celebrated every afternoon (with rain permission) in the Plaza del City Council of Valencia. The viewpoints also serve to follow the night shows that organize certain days, such as L´Albà de las Fallas. Although the experience can be enjoyed perfectly from the ground, there are those who prefer to look for a privileged (and exclusive) viewpoint, several meters high, on the balconies with better views of the square. And that has translated into a lucrative market in which the demand and supply of places of viewpoints and terraces are crossed. It is nothing new. It has happened for now Some time. But that does not mean that the prices that are requested (and paying) for the best places call attention. And how much do they cost? Depends. You can rent loose places. O You can rent complete balconies for a day (or several) of Mascletá. The price varies from one option to another, just as it can do it between balconies. After all, not everyone enjoys the same views of the square, amenities or services. There are some in which the owners, in addition to leasing the space, include A catering service With snacks, snacks, desserts, Free bar drinks And even Ambientation with DJ. Maybe it seems too much, but like I recently remembered The newspaper Levante-El Mercantil Valenciano With the passage of time the rental of balconies during the professionalizing. There are individuals who take advantage of the fact that their houses or offices give to the town hall square to get extra money, but there are also companies that offer more than a terrace with views: they appeal to the experience. Budget issue. Something is clear. Unless you are lucky to live in the surroundings or get one of the squares that are drawn – the City Council It offers invitations Doubles to follow the show from the town hall – enjoying a mascletá from the heights requires scratching the pocket. Prices vary quite a lot, but from the real estate sector they recently recognized that the average daily income from balcony moves between 700 and 1,000 euros during the 19 consecutive days of the show. As for prices per person, they go from the 45 euros that were charged the first days of the festive calendar at 120 of the large days. “Making many gold”. The sector goes further and Recognize a Levant That “profitability is very high” and, despite the high competition that has been generated in recent years, there are those who have managed to make balcony rental during failures a lucrative business. “It’s making many gold,” they add. The figures of course point in that direction. The 7Televalencia regional chain He explained in February That renting a complete balcony for a day from Mascletá costs 4,000 euros. Maybe it seems a lot, but the reserves are being advanced and there are viewpoints that They have almost exhausted Already all its localities, extending the offer beyond the town hall square, to streets such as the blood or marquis of Sotelo. The big figure: 100,000 euros. The regional chain Precise That there are companies that rent for 40 euros/person, others in which this rate rises to 100 euros and signatures that directly offer private viewpoints, without a balcony, but with views through the windows, by minutes that move between 1,200 and 1,300 euros. Who wants something more exclusive and has a private terrace can pay even more, between 1,900 and almost 4,000. If there is a bulky figure, it is nevertheless the one published by the newspaper Levant In 2024When he reported that some companies were offering their most luxurious terraces for between 4,000 and 5,000 euros per day and session. As there are large companies interested in hiring the entire package along the faults that has derived, assured The Valencian newspaper, in payments that exceed 100,000 euros for all parties. Not even those disbursements can fight however against the great enemy of the Mascletá, as it has been clear this year: the rains, which already have forced to suspend Some shows. In fact one of the firms that balconies rent confessed Recently: the forecast was good, but “it has left us headdresses.” Images | Hermenpaca (Flickr) and València’s Decue and JJ Merelo (Flickr) In Xataka | At Christmas tourist, who has a balcony has a treasure: 1,000 euros to see the horses of kings

Your servers for AI are not profitable enough

by

HP’s split business division, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, has published its Financial results From the first quarter of the year and the conclusions confirm that it is not going through its best financial moment, which forces the technological to apply a cost adjustment plan to compensate for the fall in income. This translates into the dismissal of up to 5% of global employees, of an estimated staff in more than 61,000 workers, according to the company in its Last annual report. Not enough money enters. Hewlett Pckard Enterprise (HPE) registered sales of sales of 7,854 million dollars in its first fiscal quarter of 2025, exceeding expectations that project 7,810 million dollars. This represents a growth of 16% year -on -year in total quarterly sales, which represents a net profit of 538 million dollars. However, growth forecasts have not been expected and forecasts point to the need to activate a shock plan to reduce structural costs, given the expectation that the benefits fall even more in the second quarter of the year. 2,500 less employees. One of the first decisions announced by the company has been the application of a reduction of personnel that would affect some 2,500 employees around the world. The measure is part of the adjustment plan that the technology plans to apply from now until the fiscal year of 2026. The objective of the adjustment plan on its workforce is to save 350 million dollars until 2027, according to confirmed A spokesman a CNBC. The company has not yet pronounced on which departments and countries will be affected by the dismissals of personnel. The servers are not sold. Part of the responsibility in the company’s loss of revenue falls on the server market. According to published ExpansionAntonio Neri, CEO of HPE, attributed these forecasts downward to the difficulties facing their server segment. “The problems in the unit of servers that caused lower profits were present both in traditional teams and in artificial intelligence,” confirmed to Bloomberg Antonio Neri, CEO of HPE. The AI ​​leaves little margin. The rise of The demand has fired of powerful servers, but its little margin of benefits makes it a complicated segment, which is aggravated by the increase in the cost of the chips for Nvidia. According to Hewlett Packard Enterprise CEO, among the main challenges for the next quarter is the increase in operating costs, the accumulation of inventory, the need to offer discounts to boost servers sales. During the first fiscal quarter, the HPE AI systems They registered revenues of 900 million dollars, well below the 1.5 billion dollars signed by the previous quarter.

Pope Francis made his opinion clear about the medical ethics of the end of life. The one we do not know is that of the Vatican

by

With Pope Francis in the hospital, he already hopes to know how the respiratory crisis evolves in the midst of his hospitalization for pneumonia, many things have stopped in the Vatican. The Holy City and “Renewable”For example. The Pontiff’s plans to make the small Catholic state more sustainable have remained in Stand By. Controversial issues have also been revived that have always been on the table. Without going any further, Francisco’s possible final. An unavoidable question. I told it a few days ago The New York Times Bringing a topic that the Vatican has preferred to avoid: What happens when a pontiff faces a prolonged deterioration of his health, loses his faculties and approaches at the end of his life? At 88, Francisco has spoken in the past about ethics in medical decision making in terminal cases, but has never revealed its own preferences in this regard. Although He left a letter of resignation in the Vatican in case of disability, its content is unknown and it is not known if you have designated someone to make medical decisions in their name. The silence of the “house.” The Vatican, faithful to his tradition of secrecy, has replied that “It’s too soon” To discuss these issues, despite the growing concern within the Church. Meanwhile, medical bulletins have also been prudent, informing that the Pope’s condition It remains stable And that, after its respiratory crisis, has been able to do without mechanical ventilation (He has even spoken). Be that as it may, uncertainty persists and the lack of a public protocol on how to manage the end of the life of a pontiff is sufficient reason for debate between theologians and ecclesiastical experts. The moral dilemma. The Catholic Church teaches that life must be defended From conception to natural death. However, within the doctrine there is a margin of interpretation When it is legitimate to stop prolonging it artificially. According to the Magisterium of the Church, the Use of “Extraordinary Media” To keep a patient alive, they can be suspended if they suppose disproportionate suffering or do not offer real improvement. The problem is that there is no clear definition of what constitutes an extraordinary medium, which leaves space for various interpretations within the Catholic clergy and bioethics.

The DGT paves the road to the mandatory airbag on motorcycles. And his shortcut is mandatory to get the card to

by

It had been rumored for a long time. It was warned that we would have changes And, finally, they have already been published in the Official State Gazette. Remove the motorcycles card will force more practical time between cars with open traffic and use the airbag as a safety element. The motorcycle license is one that can be obtained from the age of 20 (21 years for tricycles of more than 15 kW of power) and it is necessary to have a minimum experience of two years with the card A2 in force. That is, it is something like the evolution of this last license since A2 limits power from the motorcycle to 35 kW (47.2 hp) and the weight/power ratio cannot exceed 0.2 kW/kg. In this case, there is no limitation of displacement so it can be circulated with a motorcycle that exceeds the aforementioned but limited power. The motorcycle license, however, does not present any of these restrictions so approveing ​​it is a qualitative leap for those who want to experiment with motorcycles of greater size and power. Now, The Government has approved Some changes that are worth mentioning. Changes in DGT Motorcycle License As we said, nothing changes with respect to the limitations of age and experience before opting to get the Motorcycle card But there are substantial changes when facing the evidence. First of all, The DGT has been pressing And campaigning for motorists to use airbag vests in their outings. Now, the new license will force the exam using one of these vests. It is a mandatory requirement that can facilitate more widespread use once the exam has been approved. You have to keep in mind that The DGT and the Government They have long been throwing probe balloons on the mandatory use of the vest with airbag when it comes to motorcycle. They claim that Security improvement is very high But the vast majority of bikers ignore it. “The risk of suffering an accident per kilometer traveled is 18 times higher on motorcycles than in four -wheeled vehicles,” Fernando Grande-Marlaska pointed outInterior Minister, in the delivery of the first vests with airbag to the Motorists of the Civil Guard. However, it is difficult to find data on whether the use of the airbag has spread in recent years. In the biker circles there is no that feeling and among the available data we find that a study of 2020 certified these sensations. In Diariomotor they echoed that report of the Race in which it was pointed out that only 4% of the bikers usually used an airbag. It was also pointed out that most of those killed on the road do so in secondary roads and that, in that case, it is not too clear to what extent the use of the airbag is decisive when avoiding serious injuries or the death because many other factors meet. What seems clear, yes, is that it is a security element that can only improve the consequences of an accident. However, it is a expensive accessory, which seems to be limiting its use among motorists. In fact, it is easy to find options that start from 400 euros and can exceed 1,000 euros. There are even reusable. Leaving aside the theme of the airbag, there are other important changes when presenting to the exam, increasing the time that is passed on the road with open traffic and reducing the Circuit tests. Thus, the nine mandatory training that must be met before the exam is divided, at least, as follows: Three hours of theoretical training. Four hours of road -open road practices. Two of them will have to be conventional, since it is where most accidents occur. Two hours of circuit practices. Similarly, the focus has been made Improve security of applicants during practical evidence. Teachers can only circulate with three other applicants for the most during the practices and will not be able to control more than five students during circuit tests. Finally, it is emphasized that theoretical formation can be completely given by telematic route. That is, the student can follow the training by online.

AMD and NVIDIA are promoting unreal prices for their new graphics cards. They end up costing much more

by

The same thing happens to each new generation of graphics cards. We excite ourselves thinking that we will finally have an opportunity to update our PC for a reasonable amount, and then the tortazo arrives. Because what manufacturers promise to which a world actually happens. On the one hand, Nvidia. Nvidia recently launched its RTX 5070 at a recommended price of 659 euros. Nvidia’s own edition, which had that price, It has been exhausted from the zero minute And it doesn’t even seem to be available in stores. The RTX 5070 TI, which has a recommended price of 899 euros, is possible find it at that pricebut is exhausted right now. Those that are available are more expensive versions. On the other, AMD. With the new Radeon RX 9070 / XT, three quarters of the same. The cards have gone to the market with recommended prices of 549 and 599 dollars respectively. There are not even PVPS in euros, but it doesn’t matter, because just being available in stores, its price is much higher. The most affordable we have found, a Gigabyte RX 9070, is 759.99 euros. If we want an RX 9070 XT, the most affordable model we have seen, 835 eurosIt is not available. Yes we have found one from Sapphire to 1,087.99 euros. It is a lot of difference with the prices recommended by AMD. But are they improved versions, right? The manufacturers take the reference designs of AMD and NVIDIA and try to raise additional improvements. For example, they preconfigure them with some overclocking to be something better in performance, they place additional cooling systems or add other elements, but the difference seems too high with respect to the recommended prices. Only a few at recommended prices. In Videocardz They have managed to talk to INET.se, a chain of stores and stores that sell these cards. Those responsible indicate that the recommended prices “will be applied to a limited number of cards.” In fact, they stand out, “they will only apply to the first shipment of each model.” Thus, it is not only that a few cards come out at those announced prices – which are exhausted right away – but it is very likely that such prices will not be repeated again, and go up depending on who sells them. AMD tries to soften the situation. In The Verge They have managed to contact AMD responsible, who neither confirmed or denied those allegations. What they said is the following: “It is inaccit that the recommended PVPs of 549 /599 dollars are launch prices. We hope that the cards are available in several suppliers to 549/599 dollars (excluded the tariffs and / or specific taxes of each region) based on the work we have done with our AIB partners (ADD-IN-IN-IN BOARD AIBs have different premium configurations at higher prices, which will also continue to exist. “ Deceptive advertising? The technique used by AMD and Nvidia is really worrying. Although there are users who in social networks claim to have found cards at recommended prices, many others point out how these models are exhausted and the only options are theoretically improved versions that manufacturers put at much higher prices. There is also a lot of resale and speculation, something that has been lived other times in the past. A lot of availability … if you buy an entire PC. Many of these stores offer these graphics without problems, but only if you buy them as part of a new gaming equipment. There it is more difficult to assess whether the price of the graph is really closer to the recommended or not. What is happening? The truth is that the situation is terrible for consumers, who can hardly access those graphs at the prices promised by AMD and NVIDIA. In Xataka we have contacted pccomponent, one of the main chains of sale of these products, to know if they can clarify the situation, but for now we have not obtained an answer. We will expand this article if we receive it. In Xataka | Nvidia has beat its income record again. Paradoxically, Wall Street does not seem to import much

It will build a repair center in the heart of China

As of April 1 ASML will not be able to sell To its Chinese clients its measurement and inspection equipment of integrated circuits. Dutch administration has tightened its controls export to China, aligning with The sanctions approved by the US At the beginning of last December. In practice, these prohibitions force the largest manufacturer of the planet’s lithography equipment to request licenses from the Netherlands government to export a good part of its machines. However, this is not all. At the end of last February several US officials They met with their Dutch and Japanese counterparts With a firm purpose: negotiate what steps can take to drastically limit the participation of ASML and Japanese Tokyo Electron engineers in the maintenance of semiconductor production equipment that are being used by their Chinese customers. China is already the largest Asml market The sanctions that the US governments and the Netherlands are approving are degrading the ASML business in China. It is inevitable if we are in mind that this European company cannot sell its most advanced lithography equipment to its Chinese clients. And neither can some maintenance and after -sales services services provide. The most surprising thing is that despite the current situation the Chinese market is increasingly important for ASML. Despite the current situation, the Chinese market is increasingly important for Asml In 2022 the sales of this company in China amounted to 2.9 billion euros, which represented 13.8% of its annual sales. At that time Taiwan was a more important market for Asml than China. In fact, in 2023 the clients of the island bought lithography equipment for a total value of 8,100 million euros, while its Chinese clients disbursed 7.3 billion euros. And, curiously, in 2024 China was consolidated as the largest market for ASML with total sales of 10.2 billion euros. To understand where this figure comes from, we need to keep in mind something important. As we have seen, ASML cannot sell its most advanced equipment to its Chinese clients, such as the machines of extreme ultraviolet lithography (UVE) or deep ultraviolet (UVP), but at the moment you can deliver the solutions that allow producing chips with mature integration technologies. These are the semiconductors that are mostly used in cars, appliances or electronic devices, among other products, and usually occur in nodes of 28 nm or less advanced. Anyway all these machines need maintenance. And ASML is determined to guarantee it to its Chinese clients beyond the very likely reluctance that US governments and the Netherlands can put. According to SCMP This company will build a repair and reuse of lithography equipment in the heart of China. In Beijing. This decision comes at a time when The tension between the US and China is maximumso, in reality, it is a very clear statement of intentions: ASML will protect your business in China at all costs. We will see what the government’s response led by Donald Trump will be. Image | ASML More information | SCMP In Xataka | Japan wants to recover leadership as a manufacturer of lithography equipment. And he has a plan to end the Asml monopoly
