Justice has sentenced that it is not a secret and have to readmit it

by

In 2026, European regulations It will force all companies to make their salary tables public. That way, it puts itself end to salary secret And all employees can know how much the classmates of the same professional and position charge. However, in 2021, the employee published on his Facebook profile the salary ranges of his company. Then, the company initiated an investigation that ended with the Disciplinary dismissal of the employee by an alleged revelation of secrets. Now the Superior Court of Justice of the Balearic Islands has declared void the dismissal for considering that those data must be public Because they are generic information, condemning the company to compensate the worker who, at that time, was on paternity permission. What happened? As explained in the Resolution 623/2024 From the Superior Court of Justice of Palma de Mallorca, in April 2021 an investigation began that would derive in the disciplinary dismissal against an employee he had published The salary tables For new company cabin crew in a Facebook group with 22,000 users. Although the worker was enjoying his pPaternity ermisowas summoned to a meeting at the company’s headquarters to explain the publication, which he considered an interference in his “legitimate right to permission for paternity without having to address any work activity, including disciplinary.” In June 2021, while he still enjoyed said parental permissionthe company executed the disciplinary dismissal. To do this Workers Statute Regarding professional discretion, pointing out “a transgression of good contractual faith.” Partial acceptance in the first instance. In the first instance, the Social Court No. 4 of Palma validated the disciplinary dismissal in 2021. Although in his judgment he recognized that The salary tables They did not constitute a “strategic secret” for the company. However, he considered that there could be a damage to the company since “the salary is factor hiring determinant“ The first sentence, stressed that the employee’s response to other users on social networks “urged to rethink working in the company”, harming the company’s prestige and, as stated in the sentence, justified the disciplinary measures adopted by the company. This decision forced the worker to resort to the Balearic TSJ to challenge the resolution. Appeal before the Superior Court of Justice. The Balearic TSJ analyzed three key aspects of the case: the nature of the published salary informationthe context of the paternity permit, and possible union reprisals. Regarding the salary tables, the Court said that “no individualized payrolls with personal data were published, but generic information”, discarding violation of the Business Secrets Law on which a good part of the argumentation of the disciplinary dismissal was based. Regarding Paternity periodthe ruling emphasizes that “dismissal was issued during the enjoyment of a fundamental right, which only generates nullity.” He also considered that the fact that the disciplinary process was done in English due because it was an international company, caused “helplessness” for the employee and detected evidence of reprisals for his candidacy to participate in the Company Committee. Salary tables are of public interest. The sentence of the Balearic Islands declared the zero dismissal for two main reasons: first, because “the salary tables are of public interest” and second, for not violating the Right to freedom of expression collected in article 20 of the Constitution. “It is a constitutional right to freedom of expression and information. And even though the brief answer made by the plaintiff indicates a specific figure to contrast, even if it was issued by approximation, no less true is that it accompanied the salary tables in which the members of the social network could contrast the perceptions and the remuneration complements,” the sentence said. Readmitted and compensated. As a consequence, the Superior Court of Justice of Balearic Islands has condemned the company to readmit to the worker again for having fired “having been issued in the period of enjoyment of paternity.” In addition, he condemns the company to compensate the employee with 15,000 euros for moral damages and economic damages derived from dismissal.

We thought we had seen everything about the futuristic city of Neom. A document has revealed what Saudi Arabia hidden: its cost

by

At the beginning of March Neom He was news again. Satellite images through Google showed that the expansion of its port had experienced a significant transformation as Part of oxagonthe “Pata” futuristic “leg” of Neom. Once again, the hyperbole flooded a project that was born exaggerated and that, perhaps, dies exactly the same. Dreams and chaos. We have treated countless times the project in Saudi Arabia. Neom is An ambitious project destined to transform the country into a global center of technology and businesses, which faces serious problems that have questioned their viability. As we will see below, despite the 50,000 million dollars already invested, uncontrolled costs, mass delays and a management model full of illusions and financial concealment have turned this megaproject into A monumental challenge For the heir prince Mohammed Bin Salman (MBS). A start to trompicones. The spectacular Inauguration event On October on the island of Sindalah, with the presence of celebrities such as Will Smith, Tom Brady and Alicia Keys, today it is seen from another perspective. The reason? One was hidden less glamorous reality: The constructions They were incompletethe budgets had been tripled and the heir prince himself was unexpectedly absent, a gesture interpreted by many as a sign of disapproval. Not just that. Weeks later, the CEO of Neom It ended up being replacedand a new executive team took control in a desperate attempt to straighten the project. Futuristic promises vs reality. No doubt, Neom was conceived as a city of the future with science fiction elements, including in equation A The Linethat pair of skyscrapers 170 km long and 500 meters high (then trimmed in the budget); Trojenathe skiing station in the desert; Oxagona kind of floating business and industrial district; either Sindalaha spectacular luxury resort in the Red Sea. However, reality It has been very different. Delays of more than three years in Sindalah, which still does not open its hotels or golf course, while Neom has to face A cut of your first phasewhich puts at risk attract the necessary population to justify the investment. To this we must add overflowing costs: It is estimated that Neom It will cost 8.8 billion dollars By 2080, more than 25 times the annual budget of the country. Plus: obvious logistics challenges, since construction in the desert lacks the necessary basic infrastructure (labor, roads, ports and electricity). The mega projected port for oxagon The financial disaster is uncovered. And so we arrive at the news of this week that has made the viability of the project jump through the air. An internal report of more than 100 pages, Reviewed by The Wall Street Journalhas revealed that the executives of Neom, with the support of the consultant McKinsey & Co., have been altering financial estimates to justify the increase in costs. In other words: the report found “evidence of deliberate manipulation” of figures to hide the real expense. In trojena, for example, when the cost is shot at 10 billion Of dollars, instead of reducing expenses, income expectations were inflated, artificially raising hotels and luxury camps rates. There are more. For example, the projected rate of a boutique hotel It went from $ 489 to $ 1,866 by night. And luxury “glamping” rose from $ 216 to $ 704 per night. McKinsey, who has charged More than 130 million dollars A year in fees for Neom, he validated these projections after another advisor refused to do so, according to the audit. The role of the prince. We already counted a few weeks ago that the project has started A monumental palace For the man behind the pharaonic project. The heir prince has been directly involved in each key decision, supervising architectural designs and promoting ideas Inspired by video games and science fiction movies. Some of its proposals include a “zero gravity” architecturethat challenges physical laws; or “El Candelabro”, a 30 -story skyscrapers suspended face down from a bridge; either Floating theaters between skyscrapers and a amusement park 300 meters high. When engineers have tried to reduce The Line height to save costs, Bin Salman He rejected the ideainsisting that the 500 meters high should be maintained. In another case, when The Line’s original architect, Thom Mayne, wanted to express concerns about excessive costs, Neom’s executives simply They blocked their access to the prince. Cuts and crisis. It has been the consequence. With the out of control costs, the Saudi government has begun to modify the deadlines and expectations. The initial construction of The Line was reduced from 10 km Just 1.5 km. A 30 km tunnel For trains it was canceled by excessive uprights. Finally, the goal of having the first functional section by 2030 has Delayed at 2034. That said, and despite the measures adopted, the prince and the Saudi Sovereign Fund They are still betting on the projectalthough they have begun to describe it as “a generational investment”, instead of an immediate growth source for Vision 2030. Time, of course, will issue a sentence, but today is approaching an example of quite unrealistic planninguncontrolled expense and lack of financial supervision. The futuristic city of the desert, conceived as the “civilizational revolution” of Prince Mohammed Bin Salman, seems to be trapped in a clash between fantasy and reality, already despite the billions of inverted millions, its success remains, at least, highly uncertain.

Accumulated sediments are a huge problem for reservoirs. And in the Ebro they have taken drastic measures

by

The reservoirs, both those for hydroelectric use and those for consumptive use, are a vital element in the hydrological panorama. However, for some time, experts warn of a problem that is aggravated over time and affects their functionality. He sediment problem. Half year of works. The works initiated last August to recover the drain of the Ebro reservoir will extend, predictably until 2026, according to They have indicated from The Montañés newspaper. The works, in addition to introducing improvements into one of the swamp drains, intend to recover their functionality from the accumulation of sediments in this. The tasks, explains the local newspaper, will require a team of divers for 3.5 meters of accumulated silt next to the drain gates. The works, with a budget of 2.5 million eurosthey will imply the installation in each of the ducts of the security gates with By-Pass and gates for the regulation of flows. The Arija swamp has two drains, one side and the other located in the dam. It is the latter that, as a consequence of the accumulation of sediments, has lost the ability to perform its function. Key reservoir. The Ebro or Pantano de Arija reservoir is a key element in the Ebro hydrographic basin. It is one of the largest reservoirs in this hydrographic demarcation (behind those of Mequinenza and Canelles). Located in the immediate vicinity of the Cantabrian city of Reinosa, the border between this Autonomous Community and that of Castilla y León in the province of Burgos. According to the latest datathe reservoir Albeca now 348 hm³ of water, 64.3% of its capacity (541 hm³). Some data that do not always reflect reality, precisely due to the problem of sediments. Limiting the capacity. The problem of sediments Not only does it affect the functionality of the drains of the reservoirs: they also limit their capacity. Decades of use have led to a significant accumulation of sludge and sediments in the reservoirs, sediments whose volume implies a significant reduction in the storage capacity of the swamps. Estimates of this loss vary significantly, but the most pessimistic talk about a loss of up to 40% of the volume In some basins. A study in 110 reservoirs launched a more optimistic but still alarming estimate, A loss of 5%. The latest rains seem to have helped reverse the drought situation that still affected some areas. However, our ability to prepare for the next drought is limited by this accumulation of sediments in the reservoirs. Where the sediments are missing. As if this were not enough, the problem of the sediments left over on one side is the problem of those missing in another. In this case, In the Ebro Delta. The Ebro delta is nothing more than the result of the accumulation of sediments dragged by the river current. The installation of numerous dams in this hydrographic basin has reduced the arrival of this matter to the mouth, which, together with the natural coastal erosion, has put the delta ecosystem at risk. An ecosystem on which not only depends the local fauna, but also a part of the agriculture and the economy of the region.

force a 100% digital shipment

by

100%digital. That is Ryanair’s bet for this year in terms of his flight to his flights. The Irish company has a plan that aims to apply this year but has already delayed once: force all passengers to forget the printing cards. In a new attempt to press the passenger to download his own application, Ryanair has marked as deadline on November 3, 2025 to stop admitting passengers that use a printed paper to show their shipping card. It is something that the company has already announced and that It must have been implemented This same spring. However, it will not be until November 3, if everything is still underway, when Ryanair admits exclusively to passengers who use a mobile phone to enter their planes. A decision that, of course, comes with controversy. Ecological for Ryanair and illegal for Facua Ryanair’s intention that his passengers access their planes exclusively through a digital shipping card is, without a doubt, a pressure measure for the company’s user to also discharge the application of it. Claiming that they hope to reduce “300 tons of paper waste per year” and that 80% of their passengers already use the Digital Boarding Cardthe company sees enough reasons to force passengers to take this step. They point out that, in addition, with their own application Myryanair You can have access to many other services such as live flight information or its incident warning. In the information published by the company, it is not specified what will happen if a client has printed his boarding card and wants to access the plane with it. He also also acts his employees if, for example, the mobile phone is broken once the airport safety control is overcome and only the shipment remains. From Xataka We have transferred these questions to the company but, for the moment, we have not obtained an answer. However, this decision that was announced last year and that this same spring should be applied, It is illegal for Facua. The consumer defense association said this decision in October 2024 as “a practice contrary to the legislation as it is abusive.” In their statement, they also pointed out that the decision was especially unfair to vulnerable groups since, first, the company does not allow check-in At the time of purchase if an extra is not paid in choosing the seat. And, subsequently, it is emphasized that if the physical card is not issued on paper, you can be homeless to those who need their broadcast at the airport itself. The company’s echogologist speech is responded by Facua by focusing on the cost Ryanair would save to apply this measure. According to the association, what the airline is looking for is saving money on printed paper and, above all, in airport staff. The decision also comes in the middle of a controversy between the Government and the Irish company, which has announced the march of various airports in the country alleging that the operational rates are too high. It is really An response in the form of pressure measure to the fine imposed by an abusive use of the conditions of hand suitcases.

The space sector has a new middle -aged billionaire at the head of a rocket manufacturer. Eric Schmidt, known for directed Google For a decade, the majority control of Relatity Space has been done to compete with Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos. Context. The Californian company Relativity Space broke into the American pitchers in 2015 with an innovative approach: it specialized in the manufacture of rockets by 3D printing. The Terran 1, his first design, was the first rocket 85% printed on 3D that took off successfully. However, he failed in the attempt to reach the Earth’s orbit. Difficulties. After that bittersweet inaugural launch, Relativity Space buried Terran 1 and focused on developing the terran ra larger reusable rocket designed to compete with the Falcon 9 of Spacex. Despite the 3,000 million dollars insured in launch contracts, financial difficulties made fear for the future of the rocket and the company, but an unexpected actor has appeared from nowhere to save it. Eric Schmidt has returned. The manager’s veteran has surprised the technological and aerospace world at the same time with the majority control of Relativity Space. Schmidt announced its new position as CEOposition he had not held since he left Google in 2011. He had money to make the strong investment that gives him control of the company. He had the political connections in Washington to sneak into the launch business. What we did not know was that I was interested in personally directing a company to compete with Spacex, Ula and Blue Origin. A for military contracts. As Spacex knows (who fought judicially Until the end of the Boeing and Lockheed Martin duopoly), government and defense contracts are the most profitable in the space sector. And it is a part of the business that Schmidt is especially interested. In recent years, the former Google CEO had become One of the most notable defenders of the military use of AI, which considers crucial to maintain the strategic advantage of the United States. Schmidt has presided over the National Security Commission on Artificial Intelligence and has invested in startups of the centered on security and defense applications. Maybe I have seen Some parallelism between the arms race and the space race. A turning point for Relativity Space. Eric Schmidt’s entry (and his capital) to Relativity Space represents A turning point For the company, which can now materialize more confidently a rocket in which I had not stopped working. Terran R combines traditional assembly techniques with 3D printing. Its Aeon R Hunors have Past for all kinds of tests and have managed to turn on more than 2,500 seconds. Relativity Space aspires to launch the rocket in late 2026. Despite the changes, its founder (and so far CEO) Tim Ellis maintains the initial objective: consolidate a base on Mars. The inspiration is clear.

An Ibiza cliff had become a magnet of tourists. The neighbors have decided to close it unilaterally

by

Not long ago the authorities of Fujikawaguchiko, a popular tourist destination located southwest of Tokyo, took A radical decision: tired of seeing how visitors They appealed in one of its most popular viewpoints to get selfies With Mount Fuji in the background, hindering traffic and dirtying the street, they chose to install a large fence that covered the Fuji. Over view, it was a problem. Between Fujikawaguchiko and Ibiza there are about 10,600 km, but the Balearic island has been found in a similar problem: the enormous popularity of its most iconic viewpoint among tourists has led the owners of the land to take action. They have not managed to install an XXL screen to cover the views as in Japan, but They have managed to limit the intense flow of visitors and vehicles. A name: is Vedrà. What Ibiza is A popular destination Among tourists is no novelty. Only last year they visited the whole of the Pitiusas more than 3.6 million of people. Within the island, however, there are specially busy points, such as “The Mirador de Es Vedrà”, a set of Cap Blanc plots and is Savinar, that have become greatly famous for their paradisiacal views. Tourists visit him in mass, attracted by the photos they see in networks or even in promotional videos of the Balearic Islands. And that translates, remember Nou Diariin a chaos of cars, garbage, feces, picnics and even commercial activities ranging from the sale of drinks to DJ performances or even wedding celebration. The problem is that plots have two peculiarities. One, they are protected. Two are private. And its owner are fed up after years of tourist avalanche. And what have they done? Take action. Throughout the last weeks The press regional realizes How the owners of the lots, tired of the avalanche of tourists and their effects, have decided to cut for the healthy. And that translates into blocking access to private lands that were being used as parking with large rocks and veto the passage of visitors to the viewpoint and the Torre des Savinaranother popular destination among visitors. It is not just that they can no longer park in the area. Access to the esplanade is not allowed in which thousands of tourists are looking for the Selfie Dream, no matter if they do it in their private cars or move in a taxi. “The neighbors are a little fed up”. The result is The closure of access to the main parking lot of Cala d´hort with permission from the City Council and Access on foot In S´era Des Mateart, the most crowded viewpoint during the sunsets. “Of course, the neighbors are a little fed up that their property is being used in a way, I would say, a little wild,” Explain to Ibiza Diario Mayor Vicent Roig, who also recognizes that given the “deterioration” of the tower DESAVINAR and other spaces was “necessary to stop the access volume.” “It has become a greater evil “. One of the neighbors was even more overwhelming when telling Nou Diari How the area has reached its current state. “A property asked the City Council to legalize the land as parking, but it has not been granted and closed, while the rest have tired of allowing it,” regrets. “It was about preventing people from parking on the road as a minor evil, but it has become a greater evil because now it appears not only in parking lots, but also on the road.” There is no lack of criticism Nor to the advertising that the viewpoint has been given, not only in networks, where it has starred Some viral videobut on the part of the agents that have been responsible for promoting Ibiza at national and international tourism and international shop windows in the sector. “It should never have become the farm of the photo”, Underline at eldiario.es An owner before remembering that the situation is not new. “We have been denouncing the Consell, City Council, Government and Civil Guard.” And now what? That is the question that remains by driving. What to do with the flow of tourists looking for the Selfie Or the dump photo that have seen thousands of times in networks? Roig admits that in the face of summer he wants to find “a solution”, at least provisional. The idea is to “reduce pressure”, for which hand is working with natural spaces. The challenge is not simple: after “broken” the barrier that prevents the passage of cars towards S´ra des Maraet, the City Council has had to reinforce it. About the table is The possibility to open a regulated and payment parking. The local press too pointsThe idea of ​​setting an area as a “official” viewpoint, near the beach and with services such as bathrooms. “We will try to regulate the flows, which is our mission as a town hall,” Roig progress: “You have to have very clear the limits of how far you can go and we work to distribute these flows.” Images | David Holderbach (Flickr) and Jordi NLL (Flickr) In Xataka | In Ibiza there are those who are leaving their homes in high season to move to caravans.

The problem of Ukraine is not just the lack of weapons. USA has a “button” to deactivate the artillery already sent

by

In just one week we have heard Up to two plans Very different from Europe to defend Ukraine. In between, the old continent has even reached Talk about rearma After years of “peace.” All this gives an idea of ​​to what extent there is a dependency of the American Arsenal and Intelligence. It is not just that Washington Medites pause the help. It could paralyze the already sent. The dependence problem. The abrupt retirement of military support from Ukraine has turned on the alarms Among its European allies, who begin to question their strong dependence on American weapons, software and maintenance. Even how far it goes. I counted in a extensive reporting the Financial Times That the situation remembers the fall of Afghanistan in 2021, when the American withdrawal left the Black Hawk helicopters of the Afghan army unusable, precipitating the fall of Kabul in a matter of months. Now, with Trump redefining foreign policy towards a more conciliatory position with Russia, European countries that have based their defense in US military technology face a structural vulnerability that could compromise their long -term safety. But there is more. The “off button.” For a long time, but now more than ever, there has been talk of those alleged “switches” capable of Turn off military technology that reigns in current conflicts. In fact and in European key, one of the greatest concerns is the possibility that the United States can deactivate remotely Advanced military systems through software, many of them already sent to Ukraine. An example: a team that needs remote update could become useless not to get the data. Although there are no conclusive evidence, told Financial Times Richard Abouulafia, an expert Analist at Aerodynamic Advisory, that “if something can be done with code, then there is.” However, the European agency goes beyond a possible “Kill Switch”, since, without spare parts, software updates and logistics support, that “button” is already in many weapons that would be inoperative in a matter of weeks. The level of dependence. The story takes us to the output grill. The European military agency in the United States has increased dramatically in recent years. Between 2019 and 2023, 55% of imports European defense came from Washington, in front of 35% In the previous five -year period, According to the International Stockholm Institute For Peace Research (Sipri). In fact, this respect, the former Secretary of Defense of the United Kingdom, Sir Ben Wallace, warned that, if he were still in office, his priority would be Evaluate military units from Europe and determine if a strategic change is necessary to reduce vulnerability to Washington decisions. The example of F-35. He F-35 hunting It happens to be the most advanced combat plane in the world, but also a clear symbol of European vulnerability. The reason? The plane depends completely on United States Logistics Supportincluding software updates, missions planning and threat databases through the Autonomic Logistics Information System (ALIS), which is being replaced by the Odin Network (Operational Data Integrated Network). That “button” we were talking about is there, and although Europe physically possesses the combat plane, it can become obsolete. Nations in problems. Countries like Denmark, which have considered deploying F-35s in Greenland, could find a critical problem: if the United States decides to withdraw their access to support infrastructure, These airplanes would be inoperative. Even before the Trump administration, the United Kingdom, one of the main buyers of the F-35, demanded “operational sovereignty” on their fighters, achieving Certain concessions in 2006. However, no ally has access to the system source code, which keeps Washington with Absolute control. For its part, Switzerland has tried to reassure its population by stating that its F-35 fleet can operate “autonomously”, but He also admitted that no western hunting can work completely without safe communication systems and satellite navigation of the United States. The British nuclear weapon: another example. We told yesterday. The United Kingdom’s nuclear deterrent system is also closely linked to the United States. As? Your strategic submarines use Trident Balistic Missileswhich are leased to Washington and require periodic maintenance at the King’s Bay Naval Base, Georgia. Although analysts consider unlikely that the United States cuts the maintenance of the TRIDS, Nick Cunningham, an analyst at Agency Partners, argues that The system remains “A critical point of vulnerability to the United Kingdom.” Some experts suggest that London should evaluate alternatives, such as French M51 missilessince France and the United Kingdom are the only nuclear powers in Europe. Intelligence and surveillance, also “mortgaged.” If we raise the framework the scope of American power is amplified. Much of the intelligence, surveillance and recognition capabilities (ISR) in Europe They depend on collaboration with the United States. Countries such as the United Kingdom, Norway and Germany use American spy airplanes and drones that require Washington authorization to be armed or deployed in offensive missions. For example, Italy and France faced a long approval process to equip Your reaper drones With missiles, demonstrating how the United States maintains control over the weapons of its allies. Plus: true fear in Europe is not only the possible loss of individual systems, but the possibility that the United States withdraw logistics support and intelligence Shared in the middle of a conflict, which would affect the operation of fighters, Chinook helicopters and Apacheas well as air defense systems such as The patriot. The beginning of a break in the western alliance. It is the last of the legs to be treated. The growing distrust in the reliability of the United States as a strategic partner could have devastating consequences for the American defense industry. For decades, Washington has used the promise of military protection and cooperation to ensure the sale of its weapons, but the recent decision of withdraw support to Ukraine He has sown doubts about the sustainability of this promise. There are data that already corroborates it. The actions of the main US defense companies They have fallenwhile European manufacturers have experienced A boom after Trump’s re -election. … Read more

There will be portable Xbox this year according to Windows Central. It is the absolute validation of the Steam Deck revolution

by

When César what is from César and Nintendo what is from Nintendo: the Switchor rather, the concept of console proposed by Nintendo Switch, has come to stay. Proof of this is the Rage of consolidated PCs. The Steam Deck de Valve He sowed the seed of a segment of devices that is growing by leaps and bounds and it is no secret that Xbox, whose objective in this world is to turn any screen into a console, is working on its own proposal. Today, courtesy of Central Windowswe have been able to know that this console will soon arrive. Keenan. That is the code name that the Xbox portable console project receives. According to the aforementioned medium, Microsoft is working with an OEM (that is, with a company such as Asus, Lenovo, MSI, etc., it is not known which one) to develop it. This device will have a design that will remember Xbox and, probably, work with Windows. Makes sense: that will allow the Microsoft Store and Game Pass On the output grid. This is an Xbox. Microsoft has been struggling to transfer the idea that any screen is an Xbox and serves to play for a long time. Game Pass has managed to become the subscription, capital and bold, based on offering a launching games, large -budget titles, the possibility of playing them at home and accessing them in the cloud. There is no need for dedicated hardware, just an Internet connection to take a game. In that proposal a portable console fits very well. A console that allows Microsoft to breastfeed from Windows possibilities in the same way as Valve did it with Steamos (Aka Linux). In fact, it can be expected that the software options that Microsoft will take out of the sleeve (we think of an Xbox bar enhanced with TDP management options and fans speed, for example) result in the benefit of the rest of the OEMS. Asus Rog Ally | Image: Xataka Release date. According to Windows Central, the console is scheduled to advertise at the end of the year. It seems that Microsoft has put fifth. The first time we heard about this device was at the beginning of last year and it was not until November that Phil Spencer confirmed That was in development. However, having deposited the development of hardware in an OEM has surely accelerated things. After all Asus, Lenovo, MSI and Acer already have experience by building consolidated PCs. The Steam Deck revolution. At this point, it is objective to say that the Steam Deck has meant a turning point in the industry. PC video games, until now tied to a desktop or scarcely portable hardware, have been able to play on the couch on a console similar to a Nintendo Switch. It is proof that graphics in 4K HDR with Path Tracing and 400 FPS They are very good, but not as much as being able to play anywhere what we want. Information from the Next-Gen. Finally, the medium slides that the new generation of Xbox consoles has been approved by Microsoft’s board of directive. Its launch would be tentatively scheduled, by 2027. The console It was announced in 2019 And it was launched in 2020. Seven years of life, the predictable and expected. This new console would drink even more Windows, something designed to reduce the amount of development necessary to carry Xbox PC games. Since it seems that it was yesterday when the new generation consoles were announced, it is possible that someone is concerned about retrocompatibility. Here we must remember that Sarah Bond, president of Xbox, announced a long time ago A team of people dedicated to promoting the retrocompatibility of the games so, the future Xbox games can be compatible with Xbox Series X | s, but it is early to know.

According to Bloomberg, Amazon shares have fallen 14% since January 2025, so Jeff Bezos would have lost about 29,000 million dollars in estimating his fortune. Serguéi Brin and the siege of Google. Google’s co -founder was openly disagreed with the policies of Donald Trump’s first mandate. However, he did not have the slightest problem to dinner with the new president-elect to Mar-a-lago after the elections, and present his respects in the form of a million dollars to cover his investiture. Since January 2025, Alphabet actions have fallen by 7%, largely driven by the Failure to comply with estimates of quarterly income, although the pressures of the Department of Justice have also influenced him to divide your company. As a founder, Brin has 6% of the company, so a loss of 22,000 million dollars is estimated in just over seven weeks. Mark Zuckerberg surfs the wave. Mark Zuckerberg is demonstrating to be an excellent strategist when save from stock market. Facebook’s founding millionaire did not hesitate gamble to moderation and equality policies in your company to win The sympathies of President Trump. However, it has remained enough away from it so that it is others who receive the collateral damage to their policies. Meta rose 19% its price since mid -January. However, the quotes of the Magnificent seven have collapsed in the last days, dragging a 20% drop from its maximum of December. That has generated a 5,000 million less hole in the estimation of Mark Zuckerberg’s fortune. Something that It doesn’t seem to worry in excess. Bernard Arnault: It rains on wet. Bernard Arnault was the richest person in the world for a good part of 2024 and is a personal friend of Donald Trump. However, bad results in sales of LVMH luxury productsmade his fortune lose several positions. That did not prevent him from going next to your family to the inauguration of Donald Trump. Since January, LVMH had recovered 20% of its price, but as of February, LVMHY’s price has progressively left its profits. One of the reasons: the tariffs between 10% and 20% that Donald Trump had announced For European luxury goods. As a result, the fortune of the French tycoon is estimated at 5,000 million less.

China intimidates in nuclear fusion. The construction of its own iter advances at full speed

by

The way to a destiny as challenging as the nuclear fusion Commercial must necessarily be full of small conquests. Of achievements that may seem modest, but that, in reality, are milestones that place us a little closer to an ambitious goal that does not pursue anything other than help us solve our energy needs without continuing to emit greenhouse gases. In this context Iter monopolizes much of attention. And it is understandable that it is so. After all, it is a project with a huge wingspan, which is also led by the European Union. In fact, this organization is assuming together approximately 50% of the total cost of a plan in which the United States, Russia, China, Japan, India and South Korea also participate. However, the commitment of public origin for nuclear fusion is not condensed only in Iter. And it is not limited only to the European Union. Not much less. Europe is pointing Very important scientific milestonesbut there are other countries that are also being very high, and that, precisely, do not move in the orbit of the West. In fact, two of them, probably the most outstanding, are China and South Korea. The Chinese experimental reactor CFETR is extraordinarily promising China that, as we have seen, actively participates in Iter’s tuning, has been engaged in the development of an experimental nuclear fusion reactor for several years at least as ambitious as the latter. It’s called CFETR (Chinese Fusion Engineering Testing Reactor), A denomination that we can translate as a test reactor for Chinese fusion engineering. The engineers of the country led by Xi Jinping completed their conceptual design in 2015 taking as a starting point the Chinese fusion reactors East, HL-2a (M) and J-Text. The experts of the commission that certifies nuclear facilities have approved the first section of the vacuum chamber CFETR has much in common with Iter. In fact, it aspires to complement the machine that is being built in the French town of Cadarache, and, at the same time, it is nourished by the knowledge generated during the design and development of Iter. Anyway The construction of the CFETR reactor It is already underway. And advances at a very good pace. In fact, just two days ago the experts of the Chinese commission that certifies the nuclear facilities gave the final approval to the first section of the reactor vacuum chamber. This is the gigantic component that we can see in the cover photography of this article. The CFETR reactor vacuum chamber will consist of seven other sections such as this, will have a height of 20 meters and will be made of stainless steel of very low carbon content. Inside, fusion reactions between the deuterium and tritium nuclei will occur that will be magnetically confined in a plasma that will exceed 100 million degrees Celsius. The most interesting thing is that this machine will operate in two phases. During the first of them, he will prove that he is able to generate up to 200 MW of energy, as well as sustain a tritium production ratio greater than 1. This simply means that will produce more tritio than consumeso he will be able to self -abuse from this radioactive hydrogen isotope. During the second phase of operation, the CFETR reactor will pursue more than 1 GW of power, so it will become a demonstration machine that, if everything goes well, will be happened by the first commercial fusion energy plants.
