The cities of the “Persianas Down”

by

In Damgana small coastal villa of the French Brittany, have begun to paint the blinds of red, blue or green, more colorful options than the white that has been traditionally used for the facades. “We send them painting” Recognize the mayorJean Marie-Labesse. That chromatic change may seem a minor issue, but says a lot about the challenges facing the town. If you have decided to give the blinds a more cheerful tone is because Damgan It is basically a town on vacation and many of its windows spend almost all year closed. Giving a point of color to the blinds, the City Council intends (at least aesthetically) that Damgan does not seem what it really is: a town mired and a comatose state almost all year for the weight of the second residences. A percentage: 74%. Damgan’s case is interesting because he tells us about a phenomenon that affects many other tourist cities, outside and within France: the “boom” of The second residence At the expense of habitual housing. In the Gala Villa, yes, the trend is especially pronounced. Le Parisien assures That 74% of the properties of the municipality are second residences, a percentage that came to 80% before the City Council took action on the matter. From 1,900 to 30,000 inhabitants. In practice, this percentage translates into houses and more houses closed to lime and singing during most of the year, thousands of blinds descended in a molten to Blanco that the City Council wants to avoid. The data is eloquent. It is calculated that 4,000 homes of the municipality, 3,000 are second residences. Translated into inhabitants, that means that the town goes from just 1,900 residents of winter to 30,000 during July and August. Why is it important? Because Damgan leaves a barbaric example of something else: how the imbalance between seasonal and stable housing ends up taking its toll to the city, even threatening some of its basic services, such as schools. Labesse remember For example, the year in which the Mayor’s Office (2014) assumed a single baby in Damgan and one of the school classes that the town ended on the tightrope. “It is a crucial issue for the people,” he insists. Another front in which the weight of the holiday housing is felt is the real estate market. Le Parisien He has spoken For example with a 50 -year -old carpenter from the area that has just separated and fails to find a house. It has good income, but that does not help you much. “Workers cannot live here; they have to go 20 km, we are becoming a town for older people,” LIKE HERVÉ DU SOUICHof ‘Les Volets Ouverts’, an initiative that mediates so that the locals can stay in empty houses in the area. Beyond Damgan. The Villa of the French Brittany is interesting for what it represents, but it is not a unique case. According to French Propertyin continental France there are about 3.2 million second residences, almost 10% of the real estate park. The vast majority are from French citizens, especially on the coast, although there are also between 80,000 and 90,000 that belong to British. In certain regions of the Mediterranean, such as Languedoc-Roussillon or Provence-Alpes-Costa Azul, holiday housing represents 14% of the stock. Not much distance from Damgan are Carnac and Trinité, where the percentage of second residences is around 72%. And a good part of that house, the Parisian newspaper requires, only a few weeks are used. In Villard-de-Lansin Isère, two -thirds of homes and the percentage are even greater in some locality in the region. These data leave workers who seek stable accommodation, Recognize Labesse: “The problem is not so much the price and lack of offer.” Beyond France. Nor is France a unique case. In London the second residences and empty houses are such a serious problem that the authorities already They seek to stop him through fiscal pressure. According to The data that the mayor’s office was driving in 2023, in the city there were “30,000 empty homes” for a long time, with a particularly high concentration at certain points, such as Kensington or Chelsea. Madison Trust Company also shows that there are certain US areas, such as Marinette-Ron Mountainin which More than 25% of residences are used seasonally or recreationally. The phenomenon is well known in Spain. A sensitive part of the Ibiza and Formentera residential park, for example, are second residences. In 2023 Ibiza Diario needed That of the almost 86,000 properties of the Pitiusas, 6,200 were inhabited sporadically and 18,300 were empty. In some cases the photo is more complex, as in the town of Sant Joan, where 44% of the houses were considered not main. They are the cities of the blinds.

A Barcelona company wanted to try the four -day week. He ended up firebaging an employee for having two jobs

by

Sometimes life shows us paradoxical situations in which a manager who seeks the well -being of his employees with the four -day work weekends by saying goodbye to them for Compagate two simultaneous jobs. To give a more twist to this story than has published GenbetaIt is worth mentioning that the company’s CEO lavished on its social networks the advantages of having a “Side Hustle” or secondary employment. Preparing for four days. Patrick Syng is co -founder and commercial director of Metrickal, a remote hiring company based in Barcelona. The entrepreneur wanted to prove to implement the four -day week for your employeesso I needed to know What their employees used time of her day to optimize her. Something essential to make the leap to this type of day, which It does not mean doing the five -day job in fourbut optimize the day to take less to complete the tasks. The first step to do it was to ask all employees to install in their work teams the Desktime softwarea time monitoring program that monitors what programs he uses and for how long each employee. In this way, it could raise changes and Optimize processes To implement the four -day week. Low performance and tasks that do not correspond to it. When analyzing Desktime’s data, the businessman discovered that, an employee with whom he had already had several meetings for low performance, he was performing tasks with applications that did not correspond to his position in Metrickal. The employee, which I worked 100% remotelyit had not delivered the tasks in the deadlines and several clients had complained about their work. “While showing some signs of improvement, its general performance did not change much. This meant an important burden for the rest of the team, which had to cover its shifts and deal with the breeding deadlines,” assured Patrick Synge a Business Insider. “I had the feeling that I was doing something apart, but since there was no evidence, I didn’t want to draw precipitates.” The employee forgot the software. In the analysis of data collected by monitoring softwarethe manager discovered that the employee spent more than half of his day working for an American company, whose trail had remained in the software reports. “It seems that he forgot the tracking software, since once it is downloaded, it does not require any manual ignition and off. Probably, I would have fired it anyway, but the tracked data were the blunt test that was missing.” However, what truly irritated Synge was the lack of respect of the employee towards his companions who had to, for its little performancethey had to adopt part of their tasks. “It was not fair or respectful of the team, and that is something that I cannot tolerate, its actions were simply selfish,” said the manager. Two jobs, but which one is the main one? It’s not nor the first casenor is it probably the last one, of employees who They combine two or more jobs at the same time in your remote workday. The problem is that employee performance had fallen And he was not fulfilling his first job. “As an entrepreneur, I have to think about my business and my customers. I can’t afford to lose customers because someone wants to earn extra money,” said the manager. In fact, there is the circumstance that Patrick Syng is A firm defender of what is called “Side Hustle” or secondary works, offering them as an option to capture external vendors for their products. A whole paradox in which Patrick assumed that it was the main job of that employee, but never considered that, perhaps, it was secondary employment. Spain more and more multi -team. While it is true that in Spain this phenomenon of simultaneous jobs is not as widespread as in other countries, a Study conducted by Infojobs It indicates that 15% of employees in Spain have at least two jobs (who do not have to be simultaneous, but combined). 40% of these multi -employed employees do so To complement the low wages In departures or for hours, while 32% do so for providing additional income to their main salary.

There are economic incentives to detect excess

by

It is one of those situations associated with the arrival of airlines Low Cost in airports around the world. We talked about the waiting in the shipment next to an imposing figure that gives access to the plane: the metal structures or boxes with pre -established measures to verify that effectively the Measures of your suitcase They pass the cut in cabin, or quite the opposite: it is time to pay an extra succulent. It turns out that there was something else in the search for excessive luggage: an economic incentive. A hidden model. The story was told this morning the British newspapers. Apparently, A report That he has seen the light has revealed a practice in the United Kingdom airports so far unknown. A disturbing aspect of the Easyjet operating model: a bonuses system Economics aimed at encouraging employees of land assistance companies, such as Swissport and DHL Supply Chain, to detect passengers with hand luggage that exceeds the dimensions allowed. Through an internal filtered email, it was learned that these workers receive a specific remuneration for each suitcase intercepted at the boarding door: 1.20 pounds per unitwhich translates into 1 net pound for each “gate bag” consigned. This policy was communicated by a Swissport supervisor in November 2023 and remains in force, applying in airports such as Birmingham, Glasgow, Jersey and Newcastle, as well as in others managed by DHL such as Gatwick, Bristol and Manchester. Pressure and poorly paid. The story puts the focus something else. I remembered The Guardian That employees who execute these tasks charge around 12 pounds and, according to testimonies collected by the press, do not have maneuvering margin. An old passenger services manager described the experience as a direct confrontation With passengers, many times tense and proclaimed verbal abuse, especially when it comes to groups such as the typical single farewell travelers, who are required to pay more for a suitcase than by the ticket itself. These agents are not only under pressure to detect breaches, but also to the scrutiny of an internal monitoring system that, although it ensures not having disciplinary purposes, can be used forto “detect training opportunities” according to the language of mail. Despite the apparently neutral tone, the workers, According to The TimesThey understand that compliance with objectives is part of a broader business logic that conditions its permanence and pace of work. Extra income at the expense of the passenger. Easyjet Allows for free To passengers carry a small bag that fits under the seat. However, any additional luggage requires an early payment that begins, in the United Kingdom, In 5.99 pounds. The true friction point occurs when travelers reach the boarding door with a suitcase that exceeds the stipulated measures. In that case, if the bulge has not been declared or paid, the passenger must disburse 48 pounds so that the piece goes to the winery. The amount of surcharge and the moment it imposes makes it a “luck” of economic punishment rather than a transparent rate. In this way, the opera incentive system Like a trap that makes door staff Executors of a policy aimed at maximizing benefits, not facilitating flight experience. Mentioned. Swissport He has responded claiming that it simply applies the rules defined by the airline, without commenting on the bonuses scheme that has generated controversy. Easyjet, on the other hand, has said that It does not manage directly the remuneration of external agents, but strives to ensure a “consistent and fair” application of their policies. Low Cost doubts. It We count The weekend, although low -cost airlines have been built on the logic of basic rates and disaggregated servicesthe revelation that agents are financially rewarded for penalizing the passenger reopens the debate on the model ethics. Far from being an isolated anecdote, this practice seems one more manifestation of the turn they have taken Some airlines In your effort for monetizing every aspect of the trip. While the strict application of standards is necessary to guarantee efficient operations, doing so directly to the land personnel can pervert the balance between control and customer service, generating an atmosphere of suspicion and distrust. Instead of promoting understanding or flexibility in situations of minimal deviation, the reward system Punitive surveillance and converts the boarding door into a friction point between airline and passenger. It was already the closest thing to a psychological horror scene for many, but now that we know that the rules are applied by employees that could have more economic incentives to punish, than to help, it is a little more.

An entire PS4 Games Library

by

Four volunteers 378 isolated days passed In a NASA simulated Martian base growing lettuce, maintaining equipment and … also spending time playing video games. The first experiment of Chapea He ended successfully in 2024, but not without surprises about how future Martian astronauts could spend their free time. What is this about. The Chapea mission (Crew Health and Performance Exploration Analog) locked four volunteers in Mars Dune Alpha, a 3D printed habitat of 157 square meters in Houston, Texas. The objective was to simulate the living conditions on Mars for more than a year. Anca Selariu, Nathan Jones, Ross Brockwell and Kelly Paston were the Indian bunny of this experiment that seeks to prepare future missions crew to the red planet. Videogames: Yes. Before entering isolation, from the podcast ‘Houston We have to Podcast’ They asked To the crew how they were going to decide to spend their free time. Among the proposals given, there was one that also caught the attention: they had prepared a complete library of PS4 games. Kelly Paston, commander of the mission, explained that they had “several PS4 games” with special emphasis on world construction titles, in addition to more conventional others such as F1. The idea was to have planned activities for team nights and special celebrations. THE OBJECTIVE: How the members spent time. For decades, NASA has studied the isolation and confinement of astronauts. Among the alternatives that astronauts have at hand in these missions, board games, books, movies, video games and other hobbies help to unrive the crew in times of continuous insulation. With regard to video games, it makes a lot of sense that the genres in which they focus on the construction of worlds are in the crew library, since they face the reality of literally building a new world on an uninhabited planet. Hobbies of all kinds. Of course, the four volunteers have not spent the year playing. They have cultivated tomatoes and lettuce to complement their liophilized meals, have made “Martian walks” simulated in an outer enclosure with red sand, and have maintained all habitat systems. Anca Selariu, Microbiologist of the US Navy, described The experience as “absolutely stimulating” and highlighted the emotional importance of seeing green plants grow in such an artificial environment. The experiment continues. This was only the first of the three planned chape missions. The next will begin this year and a third in 2027, all in the same installation. The data collected on the life of the members in the simulated environment will be key to design the future real Martian bases that NASA expects to establish, ambitiously, in the 2030s.

Elon Musk has updated Grok to look so much to him that AI is having hallucinations: Elon Musk is believed

by

“Rip al Grok Woke has been an honor,” he said This user in X. The chatbot of X has had a somewhat movidito weekend after Musk will announce a significant improvement. Shortly after, Grok began to give some strange answers: messages feeding conspiracy theories, anti -Semitic comments and even began to respond in the first person as if it were Elon Musk himself. Anti-Woke. Musk did not give details about Grok’s update, he just said that “you should notice a difference when you ask Grok”, and go if he noticed. The message that caused the most He was one in which Grok spoke of Hollywood’s “ideological prejudices” as “stereotypes against whites”, ensuring that “ruins magic.” When users continued asking him, Jewish executives came to blame to promote these “anti-transitional” policies. In the same thread, a user asked directly if Elon had altered the code to make him less “woke” and more “like him”, to which Grok replied No, but is “designed by XAI to prioritize the truth about the Wokism” Canallita. Apart from his political bias, the new Grok seems to have instructions to use a more “scoundrel” tone in his answers, even attacking users. A clear example is the exchange that Grok maintained with This Chelsea fan. The user asked how FC Barcelona was going to pay the fine imposed by UEFA and the Bot released a ‘Zasca’ stating that Chelsea’s fine is bigger. No one happy. Although many of the criticism come from the progressive side, the truth is that Grok has nothing happy to conservatives. In another message, Grok said Donald Trump’s cuts They were the culprits of the deaths that occurred in Texas After the recent floods. In the answers they told him that this was false since these cuts would not take effect until 2026, but Grok continued to defend his position. The result is that no one is happy with Grok, on the one hand They accuse him of being of the extreme right And on the other of being Too much left. Are you, Elon? Whatever the content of the update, For many users It is clear that the intention is to create a more aligned Grok with the opinions of its creator. In fact, he had a kind of identity crisis when asked if Elon Musk had been at Jeffrey Epstein’s house. The message has been deleted, but there are screenshots. In it, Grok responded in the first personas if it were Musk itself. When users caught his attention, he denied it sharply, coming to say that the screenshot they showed him It was manipulated. Finally recognized him and apologized for your mistake. Educating Grok. From the Twitter purchase and its transformation into Propaganda toolMusk has proclaimed a Absolutist of Freedom of Expression. With the arrival of Grok, which in the words of Musk himself is The first politically incorrect thing that always tells the truthwe have seen how his toy rebelled against his master, coming to say that Musk was “The biggest misinformation spreader”. Since then they have been refining the answers and with Grok 3, it was learned that The chatbot had been instructed not to mention Trump or Musk. This last update also seems to go in this address: align Grok’s responses with the tone that Musk usually uses, almost as if he were educating him. A lot of potential. Apart from the controversies that seem to wrap everything Musk touches, the launch of Grok 3 surprised us for his intelligence and speedreaching at the height of its competitors in many ways, although still It is still behind. Grok’s greatest asset lies in its integration into X. Since its arrival, Grok has become a kind of FACT-CHECKER For many users. Asking Grok has already become very common in X, the problem is that it still does not be reliable. We already saw it During the conflict between Iran and Israel And, with these updates of clear ideological background, it does not seem that improving reliability is in their plans.

Aemet at last at the end of the extreme heat tunnel in Spain. The only problem is what comes in place

by

During the last weeks, the successive hot episodes (including the heat wave at the end of June and early July) have alternated with the arrival of vaguades that offered a certain thermal relief. A relief loaded with storms and hail, but relief after all. However, the dynamics of recent weeks seem to have broken. Postbile Dana. Meteorological models foresee the possible formation of a DANA, an isolated depression at high levels. This phenomenon, Experts of Meteoredthis phenomenon would bring more hailstorms in addition to winds of consideration. Two masses of air. The arrival of the Dana would also occur in a context also different from what we had seen in a June where the heat was extended by almost the entire peninsula. The first days of this are mana are characterized however by A two -speed Spain: With a mass of cold air installed in the peninsular north and a warm air dominating the center and the south. The long -awaited thermal relief is therefore produced at two veliocities, more quickly in the north (where temperatures have already moderated) and more slowly in the south, where the thermometers will move away from the 40º mark but with a slower stabilization. Uncertain weekend. That would be the context in which Dana could make an appearance. There is still uncertainty about how the “Descolgue” of this area of ​​low pressures will be and its entry into the Peninsula, but the simulations indicate that the arrival of this phenomenon will occur between Friday 11 and Sunday 13. More storms, more hail. This leaves us a panorama of uncertainty for the end of this week: if this arrival of the DANA occurs the instability could be high and that means that we could see a new rough storms with rainfall and strong winds. According to the modelsSaturday will be the day when it is noticed in our environment. According to these same models, the most affected areas will be the north third, the northeast peninsular and part of the Mediterranean coast. A summer of uncertainties. The question now is to know what will happen after this week of relief. While the warm episodes of the last month and a half had been interspersed for days of storms and temperature reduction, these stops in the thermal escalation had been rather brief. This week however the arrival of several troughs, including an associated with the possible Dana could involve a somewhat more marked reduction in temperatures. For now it is soon to know what will happen. The Monthly prediction From the State Meteorology Agency (AEMET) points out that we still have hotter weeks than usual for these dates, between 3rd and 5th warmer than the average. The quarterly forecasts Aemet also indicates that we have several warm months ahead: 70% probability that it is.

Byd is growing at a devilish pace and on the road has given a lesson to Toyota, according to Reuters

by

It was the year 2020, with Spain locked in their home by the Coronavirus pandemic, when Toyota and Byd reached an agreement to manufacture electric cars together. A five years later, Byd appears to finish the year as the fifth world vehicle manufacturer. And Toyota, the great queen of the automotive, is “stunned.” “We are stunned”. The words are expressed by two employees of the company, according to Reuters. The news agency has made a report to understand how the growth of byd, the great Chinese giant of electrified vehicles that, despite selling only plug and electrical hybrids, has presented credentials to be the fifth largest manufacturer in the world in 2025 in 2025. These employees thus explain what the impression that Toyota workers maintained a close collaboration with Byd employees in China were taken. Since 2020both companies work together to remove electric cars in China. Small successes. Until now, Toyota has launched with Byd a completely electric Berlina in China. It is the Toyota Bz3an electric car that has had a discreet reception in the country, the most competitive electric car market in the world where cars without histrionisms like the Toyota They are having problems attracting customers. However, the TOYOTA BZ3Xwhich has already been announced and that will arrive this year, it begins to be a small success for the company. The car received 10,000 orders In just an hour since the reserves were opened. And the offensive with Byd will be greater this same 2025 with the launch of the Toyota Bz5 And, in the future, the larger model, the BZ7. But, without a doubt, this data is not being their greatest conquest. (Re) Learning. The best thing that Toyota is taking out of his association with Byd is to relear how to make a car. It sounds hard but it seems like that. In the report of Reutersbrand workers explain that they were surprised with the speed and speed with which they work in the Chinese company. What most caught the attention to the Japanese company was the speed with which they make decisions in Byd, they approve changes and begin to apply them. It is something that former European firms that now work for Chinese companies have explained us in Informal talks with Xataka. There, everything works much faster and the changes happen much faster. An example, they explain in Reutersare the studies they do in Toyota before applying any change. According to the agency, the Japanese starts six different prototypes and submit them to thousands of kilometers of evidence. Only when they collect and analyze these data, put the car on the market. Not everything is worth. Despite being impressed with the speed of these changes and ensuring that engineers return with “a bag full of lessons”, there are changes in their way of acting that Toyota does not want to implementsince they consider that they would put their reliable car fame at risk. The Japanese ensure that skipping this process of putting various prototypes on the street or applying structural changes when the project is already very advanced would be a risk to the final product that are not willing to run. For Toyota it is a “no, never”, in the words of workers collected by the company. It is not the first notice. What is clear is that what has learned by Toyota by the hand of Byd is not the first notice they receive. In that same article, Zeekr employees, a Geely company that is landing in Europe, explains that part of its success is to save time and money in the production processes and the materials used. The latter is something that Some experts have already notified Toyota That, like other Japanese companies, they are spending resources on materials that are not entirely necessary in their electric cars since they do not have the classic vibrations of a combustion engine. The latter has allowed Byd or Tesla to delve into the use of plastics, saving in weight, money and manufacturing times.

The “Blokecore” is fashionable

It is not a completely new trend in fashion, but it has made the classic assimilation route by the industry: it is born on the street, visit the most luxurious catwalks in the world … and return to stores, already like perfectly assimilated label For the fashion industry. He Blokecore He has put in vogue football teams and combines sports nostalgia, shoes Vintage and FIFE claim. It is what makes it perfectly common and without plot justification to see one of the protagonists of a fashion series, ‘Hacks’, with a football shirt. And so normal. Uncles things. The term “Bloke” to which the BlokecoreIn fact, it is English slang, especially focused in England, land of the Hooligans par excellence, to communicate between kids from the seventies, and is translated by “uncle”, “colleague” or, of course, “bro”. Applied to fashion? He Blokecore It is an aesthetic for boys (although obviously, it has its female version, which is sometimes called Blokette) Without complications and workers’ extraction: comfortable and accessible clothes, such as football teams, which among other things, injected an identity into the sometimes sacred group (what is more important than loyalty to the local team). Key garments. These are the elements that should not be missing in aesthetics Blokecore and Blokette: Retro Sneakers: Adidas Samba, Gazelle … Oversize football shirt: preferably vintage. Sports pants Windward jackets Fashion as a reaction. The Blokecore is one of the many fashions born in social networks (in this case, around 2021) as a statement of style and acitiud, and as a reaction to the disconnection that the catwalks had of common fashion. That is why he drinks both utilitarian garments (jackets whose function is to protect from the cold, comfortable shoes, shirts that in addition to comfort are a declaration of intentions …) and of the Streetwear. Then, the natural trends of fashion did the rest: for example, the Blokecore It extended through Europe when the fans of the teams traveled throughout the continent To encourage your teams. Miscegenation times The presence on the street caused the Blokecore will assimilate elements of other urban fashion currents and Street Wear. For example, the Blokecore He was very influenced by hip hop and skate, and in the last decade we are wearing a soccer shirt, he is no longer at odds with craypiece or skater vans. The next step? The connection with haute couture. Like a saint two guns. Soon, the great fashion brands They reached collaboration agreements with sports brands that manufactured soccer shirts. Thus marks such as Adidas or Nike have crossed with others of the catwalks, like Gucci, Balenciaga or Prada. These last names were everything that Influencers They needed so that we began to see them Walk with football t -shirts oversize. Comfort gave way luxury and posture. @_rodrigoronado Armando outfits with football t -shirts ⚽️👕 #blokecore #outfit #outfitideas #fashion #FashiTikTok #style ♬ Original sound – Rodrigo Coronado The ingredient that was missing: nostalgia.

Nostalgia Not only is a commercial resourcebut also an response to fashion globalization, and “authenticity” of Blokecore It gives a street loan that does not buy money. Experts in the field like Alejandro Mendo They have analyzed the deep impact of nostalgia In the fashion of soccer shirts, both in the designs and in the conception of the garments. Another proof that the shirts are already something that goes out of sport: the presentations of the equipment They no longer use athletes who will wear thembut to fans, to ordinary people. Much of this guilt is in puiblicititarian launches and campaigns that those who were kids in the nineties Now remember with lovelike the Total 90 Nike that fallen the two Ronaldos. The claim of a He was legendary football marketing It makes the rest in memory and nostalgia. Fetishization of football. Behind this phenomenon there is a transformation of garments into something that has lost its primal utility of “to play football.” Brands like Kappa have done a lot for it thanks to a series of historical milestones: for example, in 1979, Kappa became the first technical sponsor of Juventus FC, being being The first time the brand logo appeared on the shirts of an Italian team. They have presented advances as new fabrics (the kombat shirt) that have been used in sports, but at the same time they have turned football into Fashion icon When Britpop’s stars like Oasis began to wear these types of garments. Another Kappa milestone: the Collaboration with Venezia FC: together they developed t -shirts that Honor History and Venetian culturemoving away from generic designs, which allowed winks to the typical Gondoleros or the architect Carlo Scarpa. They became pieces coveted by collectors and design fans, going far beyond the strictly football sector. This collaboration showed that a football shirt can be both a symbol of belonging and a style statement. Not only uncles. The fact that K-pop female stars either Celebrities As Amaia Salamanca, Georgina Rodríguez, Kim Kardashian or Chiara Ferragni have adopted this style leads to a resignification that moves her away from strictly male and footballing environments, although some of the latter remains. Football implies emotional link with colors and logos, which gives a very welcome extra for brands. The Social networks focused on fashion They do the rest.

The heat of the summer destroys the battery of your mobile. But there is a trick to give it a second life

by

It’s summer, I get home with a 20% of battery and the Telephone quite hot. I stop to see some videos in Tiktok and … I appreciate how the battery jumps directly from that 20% to 16%. What noses have just passed? Bulk. Your mobile has an internal microcontroller that uses estimation algorithms based on different variables. Voltage Temperature Current Load cycles As the battery is degraded, The system is losing precision: Errors in the calculations (something especially simple if we only make partial load cycles) accumulate, the loss of battery capacity is not exactly estimated, and this ends up translating into reading errors that directly affect the most visible point: the percentage indicated by the phone. How to know that if my battery is not well calibrated. It is quite easy to know if your mobile has or not the barefoot battery, since its behavior will be quite erratic. It goes out before reaching 0%, in upper percentages. There are notable battery jumps, more than 1%, both loading and downloading. The device never marks 100% or 1%. That a mobile has the bare battery It does not translate into a malfunction in the same: The error focuses on the visible reading that the user perceives, not on the performance of the battery itself. Why summer affects bruise. Telephone batteries have a great enemy: heat. There is no time of the year in which they suffer greater wear and are more likely to barefoot, precisely because of the acceleration of this damage they suffer. If we do not remedy it, it will be practically inevitable that we suffer sudden turns off for ignoring the exact battery percentage, and that the mobile stops to load efficiently when reaching certain percentages (fast from 20%, slow from 80%). How to calibrate a battery. Calibrate the battery It is nothing more than the process to help software to get precise readings about the real capacity of the battery. We seek to learn new vacuum points (0%) and full (100%), so the process is something drastic. Load the phone to the fullest and leave it, at least, a couple more hours loading. Download the phone completely and leave it a few hours without lighting. By battery protection, there is some reserve capacity after that 0% that is not lost until a few hours. Load the phone up to 100%, and leave it an additional time until the phone reaches the maximum load point. Avoid using applications that promise this purpose: none works. The only way to force calibration is to perform this process manually. Is it advisable to calibrate the battery? Evidence about calibrating the battery is still limited. There are those who aim to do them every three monthsbut if we do not observe anomalous behavior, stress the battery at this level may not be recommended. Calibration is necessary when readings are wrong and end up translating into a real problem to estimate how much battery we have left. The manufacturers are in full war to achieve batteries that there are many more cycles to go down to 80%below which the industry considers the replacement of it.
