In the Canary Islands accessing a home is an impossible mission. So an NGO is buying and renting for 300 euros per month

by

In mid -October, just after thousands of people They went out to the street in Madrid to claim more affordable rentals and threatened with a ‘Tenant strike’the Housing Minister recognized that Spain is going through an “emergency situation” in residential matters. It is not easy Buy a house. Neither rent it. Especially where the markets are more tension for demand, case of Barcelona, Madrid or the Canary Islands, where The added pressure of mass tourism already forces some workers to Live in motorhomes. With that backdrop in the Canary Islands an experience has emerged that reveals to what extent the housing has become a first level challenge In Spain: an NGO has decided to provide houses for rent at affordable prices. An NGO that manages houses? Correct. The news He advanced a few days ago to be the palms. In full Rent climbing and with the house turned into one of the problems that most removes the dream of the Spaniards According to CIS pollsin the Canary Islands a non -profit organization (Provivienda) seeks to put it a little easier for families who want to rent a house. As? The SER chain Precise that through the acquisition of houses in the free market that then leases vulnerable tenants in exchange for a price much lower than the market, about 340 euros per month. The agreement has a series of conditions For example, beneficiaries commit themselves to rent seven years and contracts can extend for several decades. Click on the image to go to Tweet. “Pioneer at the state level”. Fernando Rodríguez, manager of Provivienda, He claimed that his initiative is “pioneer” at “state level” and defended his benefits. “Until now the promotion of public housing was in the hands of the administration and secondly of the promoters. Here we have opened a third way, the third sector as a provider of social public housing,” assures. In 2024 se They leased 40 houses Already ends of this year Rodríguez hopes to have a park of almost A hundred of houses to offer them in exchange for social income. This expects to alleviate one of the “structural problems” that, in its opinion, suffers from the Canarian market: the shortage of affordable rentals. Floors for 340 euros. “We have already started with the rent of the first homes and the average income is around 340 euros per month,” assures The head of Provivienda. Leased apartments are reinforced and ended up by people registered in the Registration of plaintiffs of Public Housing of the Canary Islands, which basically pay their rent and invoices. Community expenses, the Real Estate Tax (IBI), the garbage fee or insurance is assumed by the lessor. Regarding income prices and why this average of 340 euros per month has decided, Rodríguez Clarify That the rentals are limited to five euros the m2 and the houses are around 65 and 70 m2. Adding efforts (and investment). The NGO is not the only one that takes chest. In May 2023 the Canary Islands Government announced The investment of 6.2 million euros for the purchase of 76 homes that would be allocated to the “affordable rent for vulnerable families” by the hand of Provivienda. “An agreement has been signed with the Association for the Purchase of Housing in municipalities tension for the price of rents,” explained The office of Sebastián Franquis. The statement issued in 2023 by the Ministry, it helps to better understand the housing program and how the apartments that are then rented to vulnerable persons are acquired with the help of Provivienda. The 10.2 million that cost to get those 76 houses, for example, were paid to 60% with public funds and 40% with resources contributed by the organization itself. Families excluded from the market. The organization also selects the properties following several criteria. In the case of the 76 announced in 2023, for example, the houses They were distributed For Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Telde, Santa Cruz de Tenerife, San Cristóbal de la Laguna, Arona and Los Llanos de Aridane. “Financed homes may only be leased or assigned to persons whose annual income, including those of all people who constitute the coexistence unit, do not exceed three times the IPREM (20,844 euros per year) at the time of subscription of the corresponding contract of lease or assignment “, The island government added. The objective: that can benefit from the “Vulnerable Families who cannot access a free market house” program. What is Provivienda? In 2023 the Canarian Executive I presented it As a non -governmental organization constituted as a non -profit association dedicated to “promote housing and social housing programs”, especially for those who have more problems when accessing a floor. According to regional government calculations, by Enton, more than 25,000 homes for rent only in the Canary Islands. Last year the government He announced again A collaboration agreement with the Association to “consolidate” the ‘Vacía Housing’ program. The entity too Help immigrants to seek residence and has reached agreements with Other public bodies Out of the islands, like the Xunta de Galicia. The backdrop. As a backdrop is the difficult residential panorama that is lived in much of the country, including the archipelago, where already They have registered protests for the effects of Tourist. Idealista data show that the price of M2 for rent in Santa Cruz de Tenerife has been more expensive 13.5% in a year until touching the 14 euros. In Las Palmas that figure is exceeded after A 8.4% rise. Both far exceed € 5/m2 of the social program. This housekeeping housing has made access to the archipelago, a reality already verified by different organisms. He XIV Report The state of povertypresented last autumn in the Canarian Parliament, it reflects for example the percentage decrease in people residing in houses in their property in just a few years or how housing is already in a vulnerability factor.

Routine is the key to succeed in streaming

by

We already have unofficial (but very reliable) annual estimates of the most watched in streaming that Nielsen performs every year. And in 2024, the most seen has been … the usual. What forces us, without a doubt, to reflect: how is it possible that the most viewed series of the year are not the most spoken, and the most viewed platforms are not the ones that receive the most owners? Actually, the explanation is very simple. The most watched programs. According to the reportthe most seen 2024 programs have been the ‘Bluey’ animation series, with 55,620 million minutes in Disney+, and ‘Grey Anatomy’, with 47,850 million minutes (in the US, Hulu and Netflix). More animation, but it is for adults, cup the following positions: ‘Family father’ (44.2 billion minutes) and ‘Bob’s Burger’ (36,800). The top continues with series such as ‘The young Sheldon’, his mother series ‘Big Bang Theory’, some procedures with ‘Law and Order: Unit of Special Victims’ and ‘Criminal minds’, and closing the circle of the series for all public, ‘spongebob’. Ironies of life. A list that undoubtedly attracts attention. Where are that ‘My stuffed reindeer‘, that ‘THE PROBLEM OF THE THREE BODIES‘, those franchises of’Dune‘ and ‘Game of Thrones‘We all talk about? The first place with an exclusive product of a platform (everything on the list above is acquisitions) is’Bridgerton‘From Netflix, in 12th place, with 21,420 million minutes, followed by’ Love Is Blind ‘, also from Netflix. With figures above 10,000 million minutes are ‘The Boys‘. ‘Lincoln’s lawyer’, ‘Fallout‘(This was the new most seen series among the exclusive streaming), ‘Futurama’, ‘DolReacher‘. Simple explanations. This absence in the top 10 of successes of the most media and recent series has a logical explanation: the streaming It has become an active way to fill out leisure hours, but an accompaniment at home, which has replaced options for the past such as radio, music players or linear television itself. He streaming as “background noise” It is no longer a rarity, and therefore, however extravagant that sounds on paper, no one has missed that Netflix looks for series that in his dialogues “Explain what is happening”to be able to follow them without paying them attention. Long series, more hours. And on the other hand, there is the obvious reason that the more available footage, more hours of viewing they can accumulate. ‘Fallout’, in the best case, has eight episodes of approximately one hour: eighty hours per speaker. On the contrary, ‘anatomy of Gray’ cam 21 seasons of around twenty episodes each. And often, they are independent episodes that do not require constant attention. It is normal for these series to attract less attention but accumulate much more robust figures. Children have power. Finally children: the ten most viewed films of the year in streaming They have been almost all of animation: ‘Vaiana’, ‘Super Mario Bros.: The movie’, ‘Trolls 3: All together’, ‘Los Minions’, ‘Chark’, ‘Frozen’, ‘The Canine Patrol: The movie’ , ‘The upside down’ and ‘Baby boss’. The only exception is ‘Red One’, also oriented to the family. If we add to that the privileged position of ‘Bluey’ as the most watched program of the year on any channel and the obvious preeminence of Disney+ among the most viewed platforms, the equation is clear: children send, but not necessarily with productions of latest batch ( ‘The minions’ is from 2015 and ‘Vaiana’, of 2016). Again, figures outside the millionaire media movements of the platforms. La Puntilla, ‘Night agent’. And there is another element that contributes a nuance: the ‘Night Agent’ series, whose second season has debuted with 13.9 million views in its first four days. The monumental success of the firstwhich in 2023 almost reached 100 million views in their first 90 days in Netflix, and became the seventh most viewed of the English platform. And why is one more nuance to what we are talking about? For the surprising “normality” of the series, away from more creative, artistic or risky productions that mediately state on the platform, such as ‘the squid game’. The triumph of Normies. With the success of the first season of ‘Night agent’ there was talk of how surprising that he had razed such an anodine appearance. The critic Miles Surrey has recently defined it As “the Platonic ideal” of a Netflix series, or even refining more, a “hamburger with gourmet cheese”, that is, a series that combines accessibility and quality, a kind of stone Rosetta of success, which he shares with this rest of the series that have triumphed in recent months. And no one can doubt the quality and attractiveness for the masses of ‘Bluey’, ‘Big Bang Theory’ or ‘Grey Anatomy’, those commercial diamonds that, one more year, crowned the most watched lists.

A grandmother left a game of Game Boy and 26 copies of the same game

by

As lover of retro video games, something that I love is when I go to a family home and find a old console or video game of my childhood. It is a special moment and, irremediably, I feel invaded by a feeling of nostalgia. I know I’m not alone in this, but I am clear about one thing: it is complicated that I find a treasure like 20 Game boy that a grandmother kept at home. It is what happened to a user of Reddit A few years ago and, of course, such a fact aroused the imagination to explain the reason for such a hidden treasure. And the one that seems more plausible is incredibly tender. The material. Everything happened when this person went to his grandmother’s house and the cake was found: 20 Game Boy Advance Sp (one is the Edgy Mario Tribal Edition), the best version of the Game Boy Color (the transparent abode), 26 copies of ‘Wario Land 4’ and 14 of ‘Super Mario Ball’, as well as the occasional game of Game Boy (‘Zelda Oracle of Ages’, Gamezo) and Game Boy Advance and an adapter with magnifying glass for a game boy advance that does not appear in the image. The Treasury Speculation. In Reddit there are doubts about whether this was a real finding or just a way of winning ‘karma’ – the score that gives relevance in the network – by the user, but taking into account the numerous copies and consoles, it was also a good thread in which speculation about reasons woke up The imagination. The reasons why grandma had all this material can be several: I didn’t know how to load the console And, when the battery stopped working, he simply bought a new one. In the case of the Game Boy Advance Sp, you have to remember that I was not going to batteries, but with drums. It would be strange, but hey, it can happen. I didn’t know how to start a new game Or I didn’t want and, every time I wanted to play a game again, I bought another copy. Ok, good, but don’t explain the 20 Game Boy. He was wrong when buying online the articles and did not know how to return them. This is more crazy because … wouldn’t I ask for help? Legacy. Then, there is the Reddit user’s answer. He also speculates, since he does not know for sure, but it is something that makes enough sense (and that, sincerely, if I reach a certain age with grandchildren I would also consider doing). In the thread, he commented that he had no idea of ​​the reason after this, but that “he also left some tutorials that he printed on websites, as well as some messages for his grandchildren, explaining characteristics of the games. I love her very much and find this was a bittersweet moment. ” That may be the simplest explanation. Simply, they loved those videogames in particular and wanted to buy the more, the better for them to enjoy them in their family. A quite beautiful legacy. Grandparents Jugones. Although in the future the stories with older people enjoying video games They will cease to be a reason for conversation due to how normalized it will be, occasionally, tender news of this style continues. A few years ago, the Internet was fascinated with Shirley Curri, La ‘grandmother of ‘Skyrim‘, which, at almost 90 years old, went up content of the Bethesda game to YouTube. Also stories such as older people training For electronic sports tournaments, the 65 -year -old who had 15 years playing ‘Call of Duty World At War’ either The ‘grandfather of’ Pokémon Go‘I played with 45 phones at the same time.

“They are brilliant researchers under the control of an authoritarian government.” Anthropic’s CEO has spoken about Depseek

by

In the midst of the stir caused by the latest models of the Deepseek, the CEO of Anthropic, Dario Amodei, has published An analysis on its personal website in which it questions the narrative of the “Chinese miracle” in artificial intelligence. Why is it important. The debate on Chinese capacity to develop advanced AI has monopolized the agenda in recent days after Deepseek’s releaseswhich have come to provoke A 17% drop in Nvidia shares. The facts. Deepseek claims to have developed its model V3 for just under 6 million dollarswhile Amodei explained that Claude 3.5 Sonnetthe last and most advanced Anthropic model, required “some tens of millions” in training. Far from the “thousands of millions” that were speculated. “Deepseek has produced a model close to the performance of US models 7-10 months ago, for a rather lower cost, but not in the proportions that have been suggested,” said the CEO. Deepseek operates with about 50,000 generation chips Hoppera capacity that Amodei considers similar to that of the main American technological ones. According to his analysis, Deepseek’s advances reflect the natural reduction of costs in the sector, estimated at annual 75%. The context. Deepseek has presented two models: V3, which uses traditional training. And R1, which incorporates reinforcement learning. For Amodei, real innovation is in V3, not in R1, which according to him, follows roads already explored by other technological ones. Turning point. The development of an AI superior to human intelligence will require millions of chips and tens of billions of dollars in the coming years. “Between 2026 and 2027 we will see which will be smarter than almost all humans in almost all tasks,” he said. In this scenario, he has defended Export controls as a strategic tool. Amodei has also recognized the talent of Deepseek engineers … although he has warned about the implications that a company operates under the control of the Chinese government. For him, The growing efficiency In the development of AI justifies reinforce, and not relax, commercial restrictions. In fact, he has had some words of praise for Depseek’s team, but not for his nation: “They are brilliant and curious researchers who only want to create useful technology, but are subject to an authoritarian government that has committed human rights violations and He has behaved aggressively on the world scene. “ In Xataka | “Google gives you links, perplexity gives you answers”: we talk to the CEO of the startup that wants to kill the father Outstanding image | Techcrunch

four times faster than in the 80s

by

2023 and 2024 were extremely warm years globally. Atmospheric temperatures beat records and exceeded the limits self -imposed by the international community in global warming. This is only part of the story. Climate acceleration. Because the oceans are not far behind in this rise in temperatures. According to a new study, the oceans are not only heating, but they heat up at a much greater pace What years ago. If during the 1980s the average surface temperature of the ocean surface was 0.6º Celsius per decade, the current rhythm reaches 0.27º per decade. This represents a 350% increase in the last 35 years. “If the oceans were a water bath, then in the 80s, the hot water tap would release water slowly, heating the water only a fraction of one degree every decade. But now the hot water tap works much faster and heating has accelerated. The way to reduce this heating is closing the tap, reducing carbon emissions and addressing zero-8, explained in a press release Chris Merchant, who led the elaboration of the study. Balance issue. According to Explain the team Responsible for the study, the problem can be interpreted as a lack of energy balance: solar energy captured by Earth is greater than that which leaves our planet to the outer space. Therefore, the system is progressively heated. There are different factors that influence this accumulation of energy, such as the accumulation of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere or a reduction in the amount of sunlight that our planet reflects abroad. Factor interaction. Within the system itself, we can also observe the interaction of various phenomena. The marine surface temperature affects, for example at the atmospheric temperature and that is why, at least in part responsible for the increase in global temperatures observed in the last two years. For example, we know that the child, a phenomenon associated with the surface temperature in a Pacific Ocean strip but with global weather repercussions. The child is a periodic phenomenon so we can break its impact on other phenomena. Comparing The last period (marked by the El Niño phenomenon) with the previous cycle, and could estimate that 44% of the increase in global temperature was attributable to this acceleration in the accumulation of heat by the ocean. The details of the study were published In an article In the magazine Environmental Research Letters. Also risk on the mainland. The surface temperature of the sea has repercussions on the weather and the recurrence of extreme phenomena. The case of hurricanes is paradigmatic. The thermal energy of the ocean is the “fuel” of these phenomena, so their frequency and force depend in large part on the heat on the marine surface. Closer, the impact of the last Dana was also associated with climate change. In this case, the heat of the marine surface and the adjoining air generate a greater accumulation of moisture in the air and open the road to a greater thermal contrast that in turn generates storms of greater magnitude.

Samsung and Google already have almost lists their own vision pro. And they have two fundamental advantages: Gemini and La Voz

by

Last week we were able to attend the Samsung Galaxy Unpacked event. The South Korean firm presented its new Samsung Galaxy S25, S25+ and S25 Ultrabut I also had another ace in the sleeve: He spoke briefly about Project Moohan. This is its ambitious project to develop augmented reality glasses in collaboration with Google. There is already someone who has tried them and has discovered a potential advantage over the Apple vision. Look mom, without hands, voice. The well -known Youtuber Marques Brownlee (MKBHD) can try them briefly and published A video on your YouTube channel With your impressions. He told many things, but one especially caught his attention: to be able to handle many options with his voice. The recognition of gestures is very good and very useful, but Gemini’s power It was especially striking to be integrated into the glasses. Talking to glasses. This differential point allowed for example by using Google Earth could move to points of the map with a simple voice order. Also Gemini “see what you see”, so you can ask things about what you are looking through the glasses. Another striking option is to act on the intertfaz, opening or closing applications, or even asking you to reorganize your virtual desk to order the open virtual windows that you have at that time. Other Gemini options such as “surrounding to search” are also striking, but as Brownlee said, that integration of Gemini and the voice is an important advantage of Project Moohan About the pro vision. This is the Samsung and Google vision. Brownlee made it clear that the design of Project Moohan glasses is very similar to that of Apple’s vision. Even so there are differential elements, such as the buttons of the glasses frame, the tacile panel of one of the sides or the rear support, which inherits its design of the target Quest Pro. A promising screen. Although there are no technical specifications for the moment, MKBHD did notice that the quality of the screens in these glasses was fantastic. Maybe a small step behind the vision Pro, but very good. In the video the level of detail does not seem very remarkable, but the YouTuber said that in person everything is seen much better. Immersive contents. What is not so clear is what the options will be in one of the key sections of the glasses: the immersive contents. He did show for a brief moment how you could see videos on YouTube with a more immersive virtual environment, but did not give details about videos or space photos that are so striking in the pro vision. Games, controls. Nor did he mention it, but he did glimpse that controls are likely to appear for these glasses to take advantage of virtual reality games. That would be another differential element with respect to the pro vision, which have games but not specific controls. But how much do they cost? Unfortunately, at the moment there are no details about the departure date of these glasses or indications about their final price. Brownlee did notice that they would launch them this year, and the forecast (or hope) is that they are sensibly cheaper than the pro vision, which are not sold in Spain but that in Germany they start from the 3,999 euros. AI and voice can be winning argument. The truth is that this possibility of using the voice to interact with glasses is especially promising. Using your hands and having your arms in motion can get tired all the time, so this type of interaction is very interesting. If we unite the promising paper and options of AI models that can make more up to this whole area, we are facing a product that we have many, eager to know closely.

His own nürburgring was built in the garden

by

Have more than four hundred horses after the seat of a Ferrari Testarossa And not being able to feel its power was a feeling that, the already deceased Australian Millionaire Dean Wills could not resist. One day in 1996, Wills stepped on more than the account the accelerator of his Ferrari and a new recruit of the department of the local sheriff hunted him circulating above the speed limit. That infraction led him to a withdrawal of your driving card. Far from giving up his great passion and letting his supercar They took dustthe millionaire made a decision that would never regret it: Build a private circuit in the back garden of your house north of Sydney. Licensed to enjoy Dean Wills He had made a career and fortune in the business of the tobacco companies and member of the Board of Directors, former president and general director of Coca-Cola Amatil, the main bottling of Coca-Cola de Australia. This good economic position allowed the millionaire to assume the high cost of creating a valuable Collection of supercar and luxury cars. Among the models that treasured In his garage The McLaren F1 of limited edition with registration No. 009, The only McLaren F1 which was sold in a concessionaire in Australia. It was clear that, not being able to circulate with its supercar on the roads was not going to be an obstacle for the millionaire to enjoy his passion. He immediately got to work to design a racing circuit worthy of formula 1 at the back of his home in Nueva Wales del Sur. According to collected The Australian edition of the Daily Telegraphthe circuit has a length of 5.1 km and is made up of 22 curves, two lines of more than 500 meters each. The set occupies an area of ​​40 hectares of land and the cost of construction of this circuit was estimated at 10 million dollars. The work took three years to end, As they pointed out in Business Insider. Mark Wills, son of the millionaire, told the Telegraph That the main reason that led his father to build a circuit in his rear garden was “the lack of opportunities for sports driving in a safe environment.” The Wills heir assured that at the end of the 80s the roads in the area were very calm and there was hardly any traffic, so “it was possible to get up early on Sunday morning and go out to drive.” However, the increase in population in the area made traffic also increase. “It was becoming less and less safe, so we really needed a place we could go where we did not get into situations that threatened our life. Security was the most important, to enjoy driving as manufacturers had designed cars to be driven, without cars or cyclists in the opposite direction. “ A rural track with exclusive invitation Despite having a route worthy of the best formula 1 circuits, the Dean Wills Speed ​​Track Actually, it was conceived as a rural road through which the millionaire and his friends could circulate at high speeds with their supercar without putting them at risk or them or the rest of the road users. “We never went through our heads to create a racing track, we only wanted a rural road to circulate,” said Mark Wills. In fact, unlike most circuits, this track does not have gravel exits, barriers or pianos in the curves. In fact, and even has signs that advise at what speed to take each curve, to respect the regulations of a rural track, although it is actually closed to traffic and You can only access with an exclusive invitation of the family or his friends: someone has to answer for you. Visitors must comply with strict traffic standardsincluding the prohibition of careers or competitions. “All are friends with friends. We know people who invite and trust their criteria.” Among the illustrious guests to drive through the curves of this circuit are several formula 1 champions such as Jackie Stewart and the great Jack Brabham, who described the private track as the “second best racing track in the world.” “We do not count the times back, the only way to measure them is how long the pilot’s smile lasts,” said Wills’s son.

LaLiga wants your biometric data to enter the field. Europe has something to say

by

The Spanish soccer employer returns to the load with its intention of implementing systems of facial recognition and fingerprints in the accesses to the stadiums, despite the fact that European regulations prevent it, so they continue to work on the way of achieving it. The current situation. Javier Tebas, president of LaLiga, reiterated on Tuesday in Congress his desire to apply biometric identification in the stadiums. “Within the stadiums there are people who are prohibited from entry, but the data protection agency has told us that it goes against the European regulations,” he said according to Brand. This battle is not new. In January 2024, the Spanish Agency for Data Protection (AEPD) already launched a warning to LaLiga for teaching a contract to develop a facial recognition system in access to fields. Between the lines. LaLiga’s motivation is clear: reinforcing her fight against violence and racism in stadiums. The organization has filed more than 40 criminal complaints and reported more than 560 intolerant chants since 2013. Ensure that those sanctioned with the prohibition of access to the stadiums can go to the matches with the payment of another person or with a free admission is what LaLiga would seek implementing biometry. The obstacle. The General European Data Protection Regulation expressly prohibits the processing of biometric data except for very specific exceptions, such as the explicit consent of the interested party or a need for essential public interest. There are some precedents in Spain, but with many nuances. This is the case of Osasuna, which already implemented facial recognition in 2022 in the Sadar, but as a voluntary and complementary system to the traditional fertilizer. The key is precisely in their optional character: partners can choose to register their face to access the stadium or maintain their usual method. However, that did not help him to avoid a recent fine of 200,000 euros. The technology, developed by the Pamplonesa company, converts facial images into numerical codes that cannot be converted into images, thus complying with privacy requirements. Consulted by XatakaLaLiga refers to an October statement already the therabas of Thebes in Congress. In that press release, the employer stressed that “biometry would be a crucial tool for the detection and eradication of violent and racist behaviors in the stadiums.” In fact, Miguel Ángel Aguilar, prosecutor for hate crimes, supported this idea by suggesting “the reform of the data protection law to allow biometric identification, obtain evidence and condemn the people who perform the insults in the stadiums “. Deepen. The AEPD has been blunt: when there are less intrusive alternatives to verify the identity, such as showing the access title next to the ID, “it is hardly justifiable” to implement biometric systems. In addition, the agency warns that there must first be a legal basis that justifies data processing, not vice versa. For now, LaLiga continues to work with the Interior Ministry to try to find a route that allows these systems to be implemented, although the current regulatory framework seems to leave it in a difficult aspiration to materialize.

The City Council plan after underground A-5

by

Madrid and jams They are practically synonyms. Applications like Google Maps either Waze They show us real -time information about traffic, although they have obvious limitations when showing real -time deviations or traffic cameras. The Madrid City Council has launched a web application which allows to consult in real time information about traffic, without the need for installation. It is accessible from the computer, PC, tablet or any device with an installed browser. The application interface is enough (and little modernized, everything is said). Currently, in its previous phase, it is completely focused on the A5. This will allow users of the southern zone to know in real time the situation of this busy area. The visualizer allows to show cartographic information both in 2D and 3D, with the main addition of traffic cameras, something that is not possible to consult in third party applications discharged from apps. Real -time information about the city cameras installed by the DGT. The application is launched to reinforce the information to the citizen after the incidents caused by the works of the Soterramiento of the A5, as well as the construction of the future Paseo Verde del Southwest. “This application also has a series of functionalities to give all the necessary information to the user, including information on real -time traffic and access to DGT traffic cameras in the area affected by the works, the Main recommended alternative itineraries graphically. Being a website, it can be consulted quickly from the mobile by direct access. The interface is specially designed to function in this type of devices, and although it is not especially fast, it is a practical tool.
