When will the great event of the American technology and what can we expect

by

Google has announced the date of Google I/O 2025. The company’s annual conference will be held on May 20 and 21. This means that in just over 90 days we will know all the news that Google has prepared for developers, many of which, surely, will also be of interest to the general public. The event will take place at the Shoreline amphitheater in Mountain View, California. As usual, Losco Pichai should inaugurate the conference with the initial ads. In addition to the Google CEO, the presence of other company leaders, such as those in charge of Google AI divisions, platforms and devices, among others, is expected, although everything is about to be seen. What to expect from Google I/O 2025 Last year, Google I/or was marked by An avalanche of news in artificial intelligence (AI)with the models Gemini 1.5 as great protagonists, next to PROJECT ASTRA, I see, image 3 and Improvements in Android. All this made sense, since the company tried to strengthen its position in the AI ​​race. Google I/or is still a key opportunity for developers to update on “more recent development tools and discover how to innovate and improve their workflow”. But beyond this standard description of the company, what can we really expect? Let’s see it. Although we will have to wait for the event to know the novelties, it is very likely that The AI ​​again occupies a central rolewith new models and improvements for operating systems such as Android and Wear OS. In addition, there could be ads related to virtual reality. Recall that, at the end of last year, Google presented Android XRan operating system for devices Virtual reality (VR), augmented (AR) and mixed (MR). It is also possible that progress arises Project Moohanthe first extended reality glasses that will integrate Android XR. How to follow the Google I/O 2025 Google I/o It is divided into several parts. The first day is the presentation conference, followed by work sessions, workshops and demonstrations that will continue the next day. Some students and developers will be present physically, but everyone can follow the event online. In Xataka, as usual, we will be covering all the news of the event. Here you will find articles about the Google’s most outstanding ads. For now, we just have to wait to see what happens. It is worth mentioning that Google I/or will coincide this year with part of the Microsoft Buildwhere interesting news could also be presented.

In Alicante there is a city invaded by chickens. So you have prepared a plan of 26,000 euros to get rid of them

by

In the middle of Alicante coast, Torrevieja is known for its beaches, heritage And above all The pink lagoonincreasingly crowded by visitors in search of sunsets Instagrameable of which to presume in networks. However, over the last days this town of 94,800 neighbors He has monopolized headlines for another very different reason: his chickens. Or rather, a curious Gallinacea invasion that has already forced his City Council to take action. Librating from it will not be cheap. An invasion of chickens? Exact. And it’s nothing new. In Torrevieja they have already A few years Seeing how chickens, roosters and chickens bell around the city, walking through parks, gardens, roundabouts, sidewalks and – –The Consistory is resigned– “Any other” bar see place that offers them shelter and food. Recently the municipal technicians began to tell them and they left that in the municipality there are around 700 birds In these circumstances, what is not bad if one takes into account that in Torrevieja they live 94,800 people. A problem with feathers. Seeing chickens walking through the parks and streets of Torrevieja or waking up with the song of the roosters in the city may sound bucolic, but the City Council warns that the gallinaceous invasion is a problem. And not less precisely. “It is a great risk for both animals and people themselves,” ditch. Click on the image to go to Tweet. “These birds today are temporarily forced to inhabit a hostile atmosphere towards them, shared with vehicles and people,” add from the City Council. “When moving and wandering along public roads, parks, green areas and roads in search of food, they suppose a danger to themselves, pedestrians and vehicles, being able to suffer or trigger accidents.” “Made a nursery”. There are more. Recently the sixth interviewed a neighbor From the town that complained about the footprint that chickens, roosters and chickens leave in Torrevieja, a well visible and not especially positive. “It is very unpleasant, everything is made,” regretted. Another of the residents confirmed that “there are many” birds and it is not strange to see them “in the midst of all cars.” In A statement On the subject, the City Council itself admits that the situation has come out of mother and the “wild or careless” birds occupy public places. On two different occasions it comes to speak directly of an “uncontrolled” increase and argues the need to take measures to “avoid possible damage and conflicts” with the neighbors. The figure: almost 30,000 euros. Faced with such a scenario, the town hall has decided to cut for the healthy and launch a campaign to capture and remove the gallináceas who have settled in Torrevieja. For that purpose it has just launched A public tender in which he is looking for companies interested in taking care of the campaign. The bidding base budget offered is 26,296 euros, VAT included. Taking into account that it aspires to ‘hunt’ up to 700 birds, that leaves an average of more than 30 euros for each chicken and caught. And what will they do with them? The city council is very clear. Speak at all times of “LIVE COLLECT” and then “move” to the chickens. Where to? So that? The municipal statement does not specify it, although the mayor He explained The sixth that the idea would consist of capturing birds with food and networks, “without causing any damage.” The same chain clarifies that the City Council plans that the captured specimens end up in a school farm. What the Councilor for Animal Welfare of Torrevieja, Concha Sala, has done is insist that society is increasingly sensitized “given the need to guarantee animal protection in general.” The contract offered by the City Council not only contemplates the capture and transfer of the 700 chickens loose by the town. It also includes monitoring and control work during the entire time that the service lasts, which will last about 12 months. With previous experience. It is not the first time that Torrevieja is forced to take measures to stop the “uncontrolled” population of gallináceas who camp in their parks. A few years ago, In 2022already planned a similar campaign to remove 500 roosters and chickens from the streets, roundabouts and parks of the municipality. The idea was then the same: act in a dozen points of the town and move the birds to farms schools and sanctuaries, without harming them. All to solve a peculiar poultry invasion that the City Council blames “Circumstances” that does not come to specify in its statement. What are they? There are those who point out that the expansion of the chickens is related to their sale in the markets of the municipality and who says that the birds arrived in Torrevieja for an initiative of the City Council itself. Whatever the exact cause, something is clear: birds seem to feel especially comfortable there. Images | Henrique S.

His biggest problem has not been money, but balance

by

Passing a vacation aboard a cruise is a tourist option increasingly demanded even for travelers high purchasing power. However, Mario Salcedo, a millionaire who made a fortune in finance, decided 25 years ago to turn his day to day on a vacation. Since then, he has been linking cruise trips making these colossi of the sea In your home. However, that life of luxuries aboard some of the biggest recreation ships has taken its toll: it has lost “its earth legs” and is no longer able to walk in a straight line when it arrives in the port. Live on vacation. The Millionaire of Cuban origin told In 2019 a The New York Times that he was never interested in forming a family, so his life on the mainland was only to work and work. So one day he decided to leave his apartment behind in Miami and cruise. The experience impacted him so much that since then he has been linking one cruise with another and now his house has several covers, swimming pools, dance tracks and some fleeting neighbors with which he socializes whenever he can. After being a regular between the passage of the Royal Caribbean companythe crew already knows him as Super Mario. “I have no vacation. People come here to spend a vacation. I don’t, I’m here to live my life,” explains the millionaire. Life on board. The Millionaire Investor uses a reserved table on one of the covers of the cruise in which it can be read on a handwritten sign “Super Mario’s office”. Obviously They do not refer to the Nintendo characterif not to the place from which the millionaire sits every day for a few hours before his laptop to telework. In this way, the more than 1,154 cruises that he has completed in his life on the high seas has been paid. The Millionaire claims to dedicate between $ 70,000 and $ 100,000 a year for their trips. The millionaire counted in An interview For Condé Nast magazine, who reserved an inner cabin without a balcony, because “I do nothing in my cabin but shower, dress and sleep,” he explained. The rest of the day could be found in his “office”, socializing with other travelers or dancing in one of the ship’s dance rooms. To avoid having to constantly changing cabin, Salcedo plans it with 150 reservations in advance, linking a journey with another. The worst of living in a cruise is to get to port. Everything would indicate that the greatest cost of living in a cruise is money. However, for “Super Mario” the greatest sacrifice is to go down to the ground. After more than 25 years rocked by the swing of the waves in the best cruises, the millionaire has developed a rare disease called Landing disease. This is a rare disorder that affects the vestibular system of the ear that affects the balance giving a constant sensation of movement even when it is stable and motionless on the mainland. It is popularly known as “earth legs.” Usually, this is a disorder that remains as much for a couple of days, but when your life transcurns on the high seas, and you only pass a total of fifteen days a year on land, the disease becomes chronic. “I have lost my land legs. I swing so much that I cannot walk in a straight line. I am so used to being in ships that I feel more comfortable than on land,” I said in his interview. It does not usually go down to land. It is unquestionable that Mario Salcedo is found aboard a cruise as a fish in the water, so, the few times that he goes down to the ground to take a plane that takes him to his next cruise, when they dock in Miami to verify that Everything is still in order in your apartment or when you have to make efforts with the bank or medical visits. Luckily, except for his problem with balance when Pisa Tierra Firme, the Millionaire Sexagenarian enjoys good health. A key factor for “Super Mario” to follow your adventure on the high seas, given that shipping companies prohibit That a person who needs constant medical care rises on board.

Nuclear energy has given you a key advantage that you are already taking advantage of

by

“I have a good friend on the other side of the ocean that says: ‘PERFORA, HAR Emmanuel Macron said this week in reference to Trump’s efforts to increase oil extraction. “But here it is not necessary to pierce. Here is only: ‘Plug, honey, plug!’ Electricity is availableyou just have to connect, ”added the French president during a summit on artificial intelligence (AI) held in Paris. The message is quite clear and reflects France’s intention to take advantage of its energy ecosystem as a strategic advantage to consolidate its role in the development of AI. The European country exported More than 90 Teravatios Hora (TWH) of electricity in 2024, which, according to the Government, allows it not only to cover the current needs of its companies and homes, but also host a large number of data centers. Nuclear energy, the key of France The aforementioned declaration of intentions has come accompanied by two ambitious agreements. As we pointed out at the end of last week, The United Arab Emirates committed themselves to make a multimillion -dollar investment in France to build a data center of 1 Gigavatio within a Largest AI campus in Europe. Yesterday Monday The announcement was formalized From the cloud AI platform Fluidstack. Fluidstack, a British firm with clients such as Mistral AI and Character.AI, plans to establish a 1 gigavatio data center on Gallic floor, completely driven by nuclear energy. It is expected that the first phase of the project, promoted by 10,000 million dollars (10,360 million dollars) to materialize in 2026. The agreement, which bears the signing of several French ministers, leaves the door open to later stages in 2028. As in many parts of the world, building a data center in France implies challenges, including bureaucracy. To facilitate the process, the Government has assured that the National Electric Management Company will guarantee the necessary supply. As a whole, this should be translated not only in a better position in France in the AI ​​career, but also the creation of “thousands of jobs” of research and infrastructure. France’s relationship with nuclear energy has evolved over time. A decade ago, the country announced a plan to reduce its dependence on this source from 70% to 50%, but in 2022 the strategy took a turn and the initiative was discarded. Instead of limiting its use, the government chose to expand it with the construction of new reactors. Currently, France has 57 reactors distributed in 18 plants. These movements are allowing the country led by Macron to gain advantage over other countries in the region and the world. Although data centers can operate with ENergía Solar and Windthe intermittency of these sources raises additional challenges. Nuclear energy, on the other hand, guarantees a stable supply and large scale. In addition, the new generation of small modular reactors (SMR) reinforces this scenario.

Hacienda has something to tell you about it

The minimum interprofessional salary is the minimum wage stop that an employee must receive for a complete working day. That makes it an effective tool to ensure that the lowest wages increase so that the lowest income Do not lose purchasing power. The Council of Ministers has given a green light to a new upris of the SMI by 2025 and will be retroactive. That is, it will begin to compute since January 2025. However, the Treasury has not raised the minimum of Exemption for IRPF As did on other occasions, so that increase will be subject to retentions. SMI climb. The Council of Ministers has approved An increase of 4.4% in interprofessional minimum salary (SMI) in Spain by 2025. Thus, the monthly gross amount increases by 50 euros, from 1,134 euros to 1,184 euros gross per month in 14 payments, or 1,381 , 33 euros monthly gross prorated in 12 payments. The total annual gross is set at 16,576 euros, which implies an annual increase of 700 euros. Some 2.4 million employees will benefit from this increase, of which 65.8% are women (1,579,000), and 26.8% correspond to young people between 16 and 24 years old. Since 2018, the SMI has increased by 61%, from 707 euros to the current 1,184 euros per month. The importance of SMI for part -time. The SMI is decisive to establish a minimum amount per hour in the remuneration of the partial days. With the arrival of the new climb, the amount will be 9.26 euros at the time, compared to 8.87 euros per hour of 2024, increasing in the same proportion as the rest of the SMI perceptors. IRPF has not risen. In each of the previous increases of the SMI, the exemption limit of the Income Tax for natural persons (IRPF) has risen at the same rate so that those who charge that minimum wage were not subject to retaining IRPF on their payroll, so the ascent went entirely to the worker. On the other hand, the Ministry of Finance has not adapted the retention tables to this increase, which means that this SMI increase will be subject to taxation and, therefore, have the obligation to pay IRPF to exceed the maximum of 15,876 euros per year that the Treasury set with the previous climb. That implies. Although the SMI is within The tax tablethat does not imply that all employees who charge the SMI will have retentions of the personal income tax, since the personal circumstances and their fiscal deductions also depend on this. A taxpayer with a couple and a child under three years of age will not suffer any retention in the IRPF. On the other hand, the same taxpayer who charges the SMI and has a child over three years old will suffer a retention of 90 euros per year over the 700 euros that has increased in total. On the other hand, a single worker and without children, will be the most affected by this retention since it does not have applicable fiscal deductions, so a retention of 1.81%is applied, adding a total of 300.05 euros to the year over the total of the 700 euros of increase. About 21.4 euros per month if calculated in 14 payments.

If ‘the snow girl’ has left you wanting, you can recover this 6 -episodes miniseries in Netflix with a similar argument

by

The second season of ‘The snow girl’ has become one of Netflix’s recent successes. If you have already finished with it and look for similar series, it is possible that this co -production between the United States and Germany that premiered in 2023 (curiously, very close in time to the first season of ‘The snow girl’) You are interested in its similarities with the adaptation of Javier Castillo’s novel. It’s about ‘my sweet girl’, It is also in Netflixand shows us a woman who has a curious relationship with her two children, with whom she lives retained under conditions of great security. His routine is very similar day to day and they have an order that must be fulfilled under any concept: to follow all the orders of a man who sometimes enters his room. One day, the mother manages to escape and has a car accident in the flight. In the hospital he will meet his parents, who have been looking for her for more than a decade. As you can see, a series full of turns and that is told from the perspective of the injured and semi -amnesic mother, the girl who knows endless secrets of her past life and, of course, the couple of police officers investigating the case. I inevitably remember films like ‘The Room’ and ‘Lost’that also handle issues related to disappearances for a long time and kidnappings that completely disconnect the victims of their families. If you still have any questions, a couple more data: on the one hand, it has a 100% critical score sweet In Rottren Tomatoeswhich undoubtedly makes it a very attractive proposal. In addition, it only extends by six episodes, so it is perfect for a high intensity suspense discharge that can be practically consumed of a sitting.

Apple Intelligence needed a Chinese partner and has already found it, according to ‘The Information’. The key is qwen

by

Apple needs a local partner to offer Apple Intelligence in China, where regulations demand that AI services pass through national companies. We knew that Apple had been looking for the ideal partner for some time, according to The Informationhe has found it in Alibaba. Why is it important. The absence of Apple Intelligence in China has weighed iPhone sales in the largest smartphones market in the world. The agreement could reverse this trend just when Apple plans to launch its AI in simplified Chinese in April, the same month in which It will arrive in Spanish. In Xataka Apple’s metamorphosis: from the minimalist catalog to calculated maximalism What has happened. Apple and Alibaba have jointly presented their AI functions for approval by the Chinese regulator. The alliance comes after Apple will rule out collaborating with Baidu for not reaching the required standards. Between bambalins. Apple was also probing possible alliances with Bytedance, Tencent and Deepseek Before opting for Alibaba. The choice was based on the robustness of the model Qwen from Alibaba and its ability to process personalized data thanks to its experience in electronic commerce. Also, Ahem, in Your alignment with socialist values required by the Beijing government. The latest. Alibaba’s actions They have triggered 3.5% After the publication of the news and accumulates 8% in two days. The market trusts the fruit of this operation between both companies. Alibaba’s Qwen model has gained reputation in recent months. Its potential was demonstrated when Stanford scientists managed to train a new reasoning model for less than $ 50 using Qwen as a base. S1 marked a before and after for the model.

Now any US smartphone can be connected for free to Starlink satellites. From July it will have a price

by

Spacex and T-Mobile took advantage of the Super Bowl to announce that the service of Direct cell connection with Starlink satellites It is already available in the test phase in the United States. The surprise is that it will be free until July, even for customers from other operators. Then it will become a payment service, accessible from any modern smartphone with ESIM. How T-Mobile Starlink works. Spacex has launched more than 7,000 Starlink satellites; 450 of them are Direct to Cell. In addition to offering Broadband Internetthese satellites function as telephone towers in space. When a T-Mobile Starlink user stays without coverage, his mobile will connect directly to the satellites that are passing over, and they will talk to each other to forward the messages to an earth station. Although at the moment the service is limited to sending text messages, in the future it will also allow voice calls and data services. Spacex has shown that Even video calls are feasible With Starlink Direct to Cell, but more satellites will be needed in orbit so that the company can offer a generalized use of this type of complex services. What devices are compatible. The connection with the satellites is direct and does not require parabolic antennas, as is the case with Starlink broadband. Any modern smartphone compatible with the LTE 25 band should be able to connect to Starlink Direct to Cell, although T-Mobile only mentions some examples: iPhone 14 or higher, recent Google, Motorola and Samsung devices, and the Revvl line of T-Mobile. In addition to T-Mobile customers, Verizon, AT&T and other operators can also register in the service with an unlocked terminal that ESIM admits. In the future, coverage will be international through alliances with operators from other countries. How much does the service cost. The great claim of the Super Bowl announcement is that T-Mobile Starlink will be free until July, be the operator you are. Those interested have only to Complete a form With your name, your email and your mobile phone number, accepting in return to receive T-Mobile marketing offers. The highs are carried out in order of arrival, which is generating demand peaks. But the thing will change from July, when the beta phase of the service ends. From that moment on, T-Mobile customers will have to pay $ 15 per month so as not to run out of signal without coverage ($ 10 per month if they take advantage of the starting offer). Customers of other operators will pay much more: $ 20 per month without discounts. It will soon reach other countries. Starting with New Zealand through the ONENZ operator. And following Australia, Ukraine, Canada, Switzerland, Chile, Peru and Japan. Entel is Spacex’s partner in the only two Latin American countries on the list. Starlink It is already a profitable businessbut Direct to Cell can only expand Spacex’s advantage over its competitors. No other company has the competitive advantage of reusing up to 25 times its own rockets. And when some get it, Spacex will have already started throwing satellites with Starship.

Buyers are registering it as a medical device

by

At the end of December we analyzed the Huawei Watch D2one of the most complete proposals at the health level in the smartwatch market. This clock can function as a tensiometer, a function of which you cannot boast any of its direct rivals. Vitaminate with Harmonyos, although with a price higher than that of clocks with similar specs (except for this function), it was raised as a more than interesting proposal. In China this clock is sweepingprecisely because of its tensiometer function. But the main reason is not the characteristic itself, it is that the Chinese have discovered something very important: they can load this expense to their medical insurance. After the launch of this device in China last November, the users of the social network Xiaohongshu, the new Chinese Tiktok, shared the data. This device is a blood pressure meter, so the Chinese state medical insurance covers the totality or part of the cost of the clock, depending on the city in which it is resided. The state medical insurance system is a medical coverage system that covers the vast majority of the population, composed of different programs as we reside in the city or in the rural environment. One of its characteristics is the direct refund system, through which it is enough to present the invoice of a medicine or health product included in the coverage to receive it. One of the obvious requirements is that the product must be prescribed by the doctor. In this way, those users who have prescribed a tensiometer can access a reim. Such has been the success of D2 in China that the device is completely exhausted. Image | Xataka In Xataka | Huawei Watch GT 4, Analysis: Two versions that squeeze the nuts to the Premium range

Thanks to this table we can finally understand how metals compatibility works

by

Materials science is an exciting discipline. It is likely that some people seem unattractive, and it is a respectable opinion, but objectively it is about A very important scientific branch. Its purpose is to study the structure, physicochemical properties and the behavior of the elements with the purpose of Design new materials which can be used in a very wide range of industries. The kevlar used in The bulletproof vests and the diaphragm of some speakers, among other applications; the carbon fiber used in the aeronautical, automobile and sports industries; high performance alloys used, for example, in nuclear reactors and The turbines of the aircraft; or the Carbon nanotubes which are already being used in some electronic devices support the relevance of the science of materials currently. Rufosity matters. And a lot One of the properties that usually study material engineers is roughness. This characteristic identifies often imperceptible irregularities that reside on the surface of a material. To measure them, it is usually necessary to carry out a microscopic analysis, but the really important thing is that this knowledge allows researchers to design and manufacture new components. And it is that roughness is an essential parameter that conditions the performance, durability and applications in which a new material can be used. In fact, there are research groups and companies that are dedicated in body and soul to characterize new materials and measure their roughness. Michigan Metrology It is one of these companies. It resides, as we can intuit, in the state of Michigan (USA), and expressly dedicates itself to measurement, analysis and inspection of roughness and wear of surfaces. To carry out their analysis, it resorts to very sophisticated teams that are capable of precisely identifying the irregularities present on the surface of the materials through a three -dimensional exploration. The table we publish on top of these lines has been prepared by the American mechanical engineer Ernest Rabinowicz, and is the Bible for Michigan Metrology and other companies that are dedicated to material engineering. In fact, it is the authentic protagonist of this article. And it is because it gives us a lot of information about the roughness and sliding compatibility of a good part of the metals that we can find in the periodic table of the chemical elements. Two pieces work better together if they are metallurgically incompatible, or, what is the same, if the metals involved are not dissoluble with each other As you can see, Rabinowicz occurred to be placed on the horizontal and vertical axes of the table the symbol that identifies each metal. And at the intersection between each pair of them appears A very illustrative symbol that identifies whether these two metals are incompatible, partially incompatible, partially compatible, compatible or identical taking as reference their roughness. In the field of metallurgy this information is very valuable. And it is because metals that are compatible from a metallurgical point of view tend to adhere to each other, a process that increases friction and wear. As we can intuit, knowing precisely the degree of compatibility between each couple of metals is fundamental in the design of the sliding interface between two metal pieces. In fact, two of these pieces work better together if they are metallurgically incompatible, or, what is the same, if the metals involved are not dissoluble with each other.
