The Sihoo C300 now has a discount of 240 euros

by

If we spend many hours sitting throughout the day (either studying or teleworking), choosing the chair we use is vital if we want to be comfortable. It is not an easy task: there are users who prefer Gaming cuttingwhile others bet on office or ergonomic alternatives. If we are one of the latter, So you can quote the Sihoo Doro C300 very well: a very interesting chair that we now have reduced to the 279.99 euros (We also have the option of acquiring it with rests for 40 euros more). And be careful, because if we use the Sihooxt6 code we will take an extra discount. SIHOO DORO C300 ERGONOMIC CHAIR * Some price may have changed from the last review It offers dynamic lumbar support and a design not to spend heat As we say, if we are the ones who prefer the office chairs (either by comfort or for its design), this Doro C300 is a chair to take into account. Leaving aside its characteristics, this offer leaves it at a more tempting price. Usually, its price is 519.99 euros, so we can now have it at home With a saving of 240 euros. The first thing we are going to highlight about her are her materials. C300 is made of mesh fabric (like the rest of the backup) that It is resistant and ideal for both summer and hot stays. Also the design of the seat, which will distribute the weight in a balanced way on it, so we will not have pressure on the thighs. More key points. The C300 stands out for having A body tracking system for the lumbar zoneone of the most suffer when we spend more hours in front of the computer. With it, the chair is going to adapt to the movements we make, which differentiates the majority of the chairs in the market that, despite having a lumbar support, is rigid and does not move. In addition, its support follows a very similar line, so we will always have the body well supported. What do we want to recline the seat? No problem: The C300 can recline up to 130 degrees. This is quite common in most chairs, but the difference of Siashoo’s is that what we explain above also applies to this, so we will have well supported the lumbar and the back, even if we are with reclining backing. Everything that has to do with controlling the height of the chair or reclining is done with the same control. Sihoo C300 has A lever on the lower right of the seat That allows us to adjust everything at our whim with a couple of touches, facilitating and joining everything in one place so that we do not have to be jumping from lever on lever. Then we also have the support, which can be moved in 4 directions very easily, ideal to modify them according to our needs. These, who are padded to be as comfortable as possible, They synchronize with support. What does this mean? That if we recline, the armrests will be placed in accordance, so we will also have them well supported. We have left for the end one of the most important elements of the chair, which is the headrest. This has a mechanism that allows you to adjust both up and down, as well as forward or backward (moreover, you can even turn a bit). In this way, We can adjust the headrest at our please To have the neck in a good position. A very complete chair that, with this offer, It stays at the most tempting price.

The ambitious video apps plans to land on Smart TV

by

There is no one who can with the TV. Although the hours we spend in front of the mobile are increasingly abundant, the big screen that makes up the neuralgic entertainment center and household meetings continues to exercise great power over us. And about advertisers. Therefore, even mobile apps giants such as Instagram or Tiktok consider a turn to television and prepare apps in that format. Tik tok and Instagram, to TV. Account ‘The Information‘That Tiktok and Instagram are developing apps to be viewed on television. The objective is to steal some advertiser of the juicy cake that are now distributed the platforms of streaming (that generated more than 26,000 million dollars in income in 2024) and also increase the number of users, appealing to new profiles and older than the usual ones on the platforms (In Tiktok About 70% of users are under 34 years old, and On Instagram around 60%) The future has returned. When the use of mobiles was generalized, the media looked at these new devices, transportable screens (laptops, tablets, smartphones) and They said “here is the future”. We would watch TV and movies on mobiles. They were wrong: TVs are still reigning in houses thanks to the arrival of streaming: Linear TV consumption is in historical minimumsbut Thanks to streaming platforms A lot of television is still seen. But the screen continues to be transformed and perhaps the next bombing we see comes from the arrival of native mobile apps. YouTube to power. Recent news resonates in this decision of the two gigantic social social networks: YouTube’s sustained growth in recent years. According to Nielsenthe video platform has experienced a constant and significant general growth, more than 120 % since 2021. But in addition, in May 2025, it occupied the leading position between platforms of streamingwith 12.5 % of the total viewing on television. That is, advancing traditional television on their own land and even its rivals of streamingan app born on the Internet has conquered televisions. Tik Tok already tried. The Chinese video app has already tried to enter the Smart TVS with an application that did not have much route and It was launched in November 2021. According to Sony and collects ‘The Information’, Tiktok stopped updating the app in June and there are other televisions brands, such as Samsung or LG, where it is not even available. It is a possible clue about changes in the Tiktok TV approach. Instagram has never had an app for Smart TVS. Advertising is what is sought. To those mentioned 26,000 million dollars that gives the streaming In advertising the 72% of the 50,000 million youtube revenues In 2024: the video format and its jump to television allows multiple formats (pre -rol, Bumper, Mid-RollShorts), very versatile and attractive for video social media apps, more limited in that regard. Television allows hybrid advertising practices (with the use of artificial intelligence That will begin to put into practice Netflix, for example), which generate more impact on television. All that also want to access Tiktok and Instagram.

Chips manufacturers seek talent urgently. In Europe only 100,000 more engineers are needed

by

During the next five years the global semiconductor industry will need to incorporate nothing less than One million qualified workers. This prognosis is no elucubration; It comes from SEMIan international organization that watches over the interests of the electronics industries and integrated circuits. According to their forecasts Europe will face a deficit of 100,000 engineers, and Asia will need 200,000 qualified technicians. These a priori figures may seem exaggerated, but they are not at all if we consider that for 2024 the chips industry grew by 19.1% compared to 2023 thanks to the demand for GPUs for artificial intelligence (AI) and consumer electronic products, as well as to the expansion of 5G communications throughout the planet and the development of the car market. In 2024 the global semiconductor industry invoiced 627.6 billion dollars. There are not enough professionals to support the growth of this industry TSMC, The biggest chips manufacturer on the planethe goes hunting again year after year to be able to meet his needs. During 2023 recruited 6,000 engineers For its Taiwan facilities, and presumably this trend also remained for 2024. And between 2025 and 2028 it will start several semiconductor manufacturing plants in the US, Germany, Taiwan and Japan. TSMC is one of the most successful companies in this sector, but with all probability other chips designers and manufacturers will also need to strengthen their templates. The average salary of an engineer without previous experience, backed by a master’s degree and newly arrived at TSMC exceeds $ 65,500 annually In this situation the salaries offered by these companies are very high. The average salary of an engineer without previous experience, endorsed by a master’s degree and newcomer to TSMC exceeds $ 65,500 annually (Approximately 56,000 euros), But this is just the starting point. It is assumed that as their salary acquires experience. The problem facing semiconductor companies, According to semiis that as many people with technical profile are not being formed in universities as they will need in the short and medium term. In addition, many of the most experienced engineers are retiring or will do so before 2030. As a button shows: in the US, a third of employees of integrated circuit companies have 55 years or more. And in Germany a third of the technicians who have developed their work career in the chips industry will retire throughout the next decade. However, there is another challenge that also compromises the future of these companies: the next batch of engineers will have to have advanced skills in AI and Automatic learning. The companies that are dedicated to the semiconductors are aware of the problem that already looms on them, which has caused some to have launched initiatives that initiatives that initiatives that initiatives that They go beyond offering good salaries. Some of these measures are to invest in the progression of their professionals and offer them flexibility to prevent them from leaving; in seeking candidates with non -traditional profiles in which their skills prevail and not their training, or in promoting the incorporation of women into this industry. At the moment Women represent only 17% of technical positions in the semiconductor industry.

North Korea has just opened its own “Benidorm” for 20,000 tourists. The mystery is now who will go there

by

To Kim Jong-un we usually see him dispatching with uniformed subordinates or supervising missile throws, always cooling in his everlasting MAO neck suit. Much less common is to see it as This Tuesdaywhen it was recorded sitting in a folding chair with a soda and a package of cigarettes while contemplating how people slid down a huge water slide. Nothing strange if we consider that what Kim was doing was neither more nor less than inaugurate The “New Benidorm” North Korea. The Great question Now, after the fanfare and pomp of the inauguration is: How the hell is intended to fill it a hermetic and suspicious country of foreign tourism? Welcome to Wonsan Kalma. North Korea already has His particular Benidorm. Officially, with opening tape cut and fireworks included. Tuesday The leader of the nation, Kim Jong-un, went to the new Megacomplex Kangwon tourist to preside over the start -up of one of its biggest projects: a Marina D´or to the Korean, with aquatic parks, hotels, beach kilometers and ability to accommodate 20,000 guests. MAO NECK WITHOUT. Kim Jong-un is more or less common to see him dispatched with subordinates, meeting with other leaders and supervising missile launches or warships (not always). And in all these cases its aesthetic is usually identical: gray or black suit, usually of the mao neck, and sober expression. Wonsan Kalma is a place of recreation, so there he offered a more informal picture and enjoyed a mass bath which K-pop star. Kim also appeared accompanied by his wife, Ri Sol-Juwho had had a year and a half away from the spotlights, and his daughter Ju-Aeof 12 years already the one that usually signs up as the future heiress of the family saga. Next to them Kim walked along Wonsan beach, inspected the hotels and even sat on a folding chair (refreshment and pitillo by hand) to see how a comrade slid down a water slide. Neither easy nor fast. Wonsan-Kalma is news because North Korea He has just given it By inaugurated, but in reality the project is not new, much less unknown. Moreover, he has been talking about him since 2013, when Kim Jong-un, then just enthroned in the Korea Workers Party advertisement His desire to turn Wonsan into a “tourist city.” Curious bet if one takes into account that the authorities had used the region to Try your missiles. That Kim opts precisely in that area of ​​North Korea is no coincidence: he grew up there, surrounded by luxury, and his coast is bathed by the sea of ​​Japan. The idea was that the new tourist complex was Ready in 2022but on the way several inconveniences crossed: the covid and a serious shortage of materials aggravated by international sanctions, so that his calendar was expanding until he went into the second half of the decade. Last summer the state agency KCNA slid that Wonsan Kalma could be ready in May. It will take something else: you will start receiving visitors July 1. And who will visit it? We know that Wonsan Kalma has hotels, aquatic parks, pools with slides, four kilometers of beachrestaurants and commercial areas, but what is not so clear is how North Korea will manage to fill it. Especially since the government itself remembers that it has the capacity for tens of thousands of visitors: their accommodations can host 20,000 people And in his day he slid that the capacity of the complex would be even greater. The KCNA agency only states that Wonsan-Kalma will begin offering services to “National Clients” As of July 1, without mention of plans to promote the complex or capture visitors outside the country. To the inauguration of Wonsan Kalma, yes, a delegation of Russian authorities including the ambassador, one more sample of the approach between Pyongyang and Moscow. Gesture question. It is not easy to know what plans Kim has in tourism, one of the few legal channels available to the nation to capture foreign currencies; But over the last months the North Korean regime has given forward steps (and Also some other behind) to open timidly to foreign tourism, knocked out after pandemic. By mid -2023 the restrictions They relaxedmonths later the country began to receive Russian visitors already early this year He surprised the world when opening its doors to a reduced handful of Western tourists. That did not last long. Weeks later He turned back. In April the capital celebrated a marathon in which allowed Run to foreigners, especially Russians and Ethiopians. Looking at Russia. The CNN Precise that at the moment the Russians seem to be the only ones who will have it more or less easy to step on the new tourist complex. One of his agencies, Vostok Intur, is in fact promoting several packages for the coming months with Pyongyang scale. Your price? Around 1,800 dollars. In 2019 North Korea received some 300,000 visitors foreigners, especially Chinese, who generated a flow of between 90 and 150 million dollars.

Melilla cyber attack points to a Russian cybercriminal group

by

On June 25 we echoed the news: the Autonomous City of Melilla indicated that, since Sunday 22 of this month, Its computer services were interrupted by a technical incidence. Although the causes were not known, everything pointed to a cyber attack. And there are already those who have assumed responsibility. What happened. Last Sunday, June 22, the City Council of Melilla reported technical problems in their computer systems. The president trusted that “in two days” they were active again, noting that the technicians had been working on their restoration from dawn. From the beginning, the hypothesis of a cyber attack that could subtract confidential information from the administration and citizens was considered. Keep passing. Despite what The incidence was expected to last a couple of daysMelilla has been plunged into computer chaos for almost a week. The computer blackout has interrupted the operation of the administration servers of the Autonomous City, preventing access to their systems and suspending all electronic procedures. The attack. The Qilin Group, linked to Russia and the cybercriminal scene of Eastern Europe, The authorship of this attack has been attributed. The group claims to have “completely destroyed the administrative and network infrastructure of the city”, in addition to having taken information in a volume of 4 to 5 terabytes. “We have in our hands an almost complete list of the personal data of all the native inhabitants of Melilla. We also have in our power a significant list of data on tourists (their personal data). And the interesting thing is that the main reason why we are waiting for negotiators is another! The threat. The group, in addition to ensuring a database of practically each of the inhabitants of the city, threatens to reveal information about supposed inappropriate use of public funds, pointing directly to members of the administration. The answer. On Monday Juan José Imbroda, president of the city, claimed that the police would be alert to “Go against those malefactors” In case of being a cyber attack. Melilla has confirmed that the incident has been caused by “a computer attack of international origin”, and ensures that technical and cybersecurity teams continue to work to restore the service. At the moment, there is still no estimated date for the return to normal.

Israel has been bombing the nuclear facilities that build other countries around its surroundings. This is the real risk of collapse

by

On February 28, 2022, just four days after the start of The Russian Invasion of Ukrainethe country’s troops led by Vladimir Putin bombarded the vicinity of The Zaporiyia nuclear power plantlocated in the southeast of the country. Shortly after, during the night of March 3 to 4, the Ukrainian and Russian soldiers They fought together with the buildings of this nuclear installation. This scenario has been repeated several times since then, which has represented at some times a threat to the integrity of the nuclear reactors of this central. Unfortunately, the Ukraine War is not the only war conflict that has endangered one or more nuclear facilities. During the last five decades Israel has repeatedly bombarded Iraq nuclear plants, Syria and Iran with the purpose, according to the Israeli government, to prevent these countries from developing nuclear weapons. This is the same scenario as presumably triggered The last episode of the conflict between Israel and Iran on June 13. However, not all nuclear facilities are the same. Israel and the US argue that the plants of Fordo, Isfahán and Natanz, all in Iran, who have recently bombarded several thousand Uranium centrifugers. These machines contain uranium hexafluoruro (UF₆) inside, a corrosive gas that if it came to filter to the environment could trigger a radiological and chemical emergency, although there would be no nuclear explosion. In any case, in this article we propose to explore what would happen if one missile or other large -capacity projectile impact on the building of a nuclear reactor. Nuclear reactors cannot explode as an atomic bomb Nuclear centrals in operation used by many countries to generate electricity have been designed to offer A very high security level and hold your operation over time. The first protection barrier that nuclear reactors have external threats is the containment enclosure. This concrete structure is watertight and is designed to keep the primary circuit of the environment completely isolated (we will immediately see what this circuit consists of). This framework is designed not to be degraded by dilation, to support the energy of an earthquake, and even to resist very important collisions, such as the impact of an airplane. However, in addition to protecting the nuclear reactor from external aggressions, it is responsible for preventing the radioactive material to be lodged in the primary circuit Remove and get in touch with the atmosphere. Anyway, the first thing that a missile or a pump would have to damage to damage a nuclear reactor is to destroy, or, at least, penetrate the containment enclosure. The containment enclosure is designed to withstand very important collisions, such as the impact of a plane The other element of the installation that has a crucial role in the proper functioning of a nuclear reactor is the cooling circuit. Although, in reality, a nuclear reactor works side by side with three different circuits. The primary circuit consists of the vessel, which is the deposit that contains Fuel bars and the water that must remain in contact with them to absorb their thermal energy; For the heat exchanger, which is a second tank to which the hot water comes from the vessel; and by a pump that facilitates the circulation of water between the vessel and the heat exchanger. The primary circuit must be closed because the water it contains being in direct contact with the fuel bars is contaminated. And therefore, It is radioactive. The heat exchanger acts as a steam generatorso a second circuit is responsible for introducing the cold water inside that when it comes into contact with the hot water of the primary circuit, it enters the boiling. From there the necessary steam proceeds to transfer to the turbine the kinetic energy that will make it possible to obtain electricity thanks to the action of the alternator. Once the fluid crosses the turbine the water vapor cools and condenses inside an additional tank to promote the appearance of water in a liquid state that will be introduced again in the heat exchanger, thus giving rise to a second closed circuit known as secondary circuit. Again a pump is responsible for the water to circulate between the condensation tank and the heat exchanger. So far we have described two different closed circuits, the primary and the secondary, but we have left a loose end. In order for the water vapor of the secondary circuit to be condensed inside the condensation tank it is necessary to introduce in the latter cold water. And to do so it is necessary to resort to a third circuit known as cooling circuit. The water of this last installation comes from the sea or from a river near the nuclear power plant, hence it is necessary to accommodate this type of centrals near one of these two natural resources. The thermal energy exchange that occurs between these circuits allows us to obtain the electrical energy we need, which is the ultimate goal of nuclear power plants, but also seeks to keep the fuel bars housed in the reactor core within its optimal range of working temperature. The most serious scenario implies the fusion of the reactor core If the thermal energy generated by the fuel material of the fuel bars as a result of the sustained fission over time exceeds, for whatever reason, the capacity of the refrigeration systems of transporting that energy and maintaining the core of the reactor within the optimal range of working temperature, the fuel could be degraded. And if this happens, it could happen from the solid state in which it is initially to the semi -solid state, or even a liquid state. This phenomenon is known as the fusion of the nucleus, and can cause a part of the radioactive material to end up coming out of the vessel. This was, in broad strokes and without entering the causes of the accident, which happened In Chernobil reactor 4 In 1986, but There are very important differences between the nuclear power plant that … Read more

What to do with half a million dogs that can no longer eat

by

It happened in January 2024. In a society that changes to the vertiginous rhythm, the youth of South Korea had long been reluctant to a menu that was part of the culture of the nation for centuries: the Dog meat. Then there was a change of legislation, the “Menu with dogs” was prohibited, pursuing the practice With three years in jail. The problem is now numerical: what to do with half a million dogs. Force extinction. I told it in an extensive BBC report. The national prohibition of the consumption of dog meat in South Korea, approved in 2024 and whose implementation will culminate in February 2027, has plunged thousands of farmers in uncertainty and despair. During generations, the breeding of meat dogs was a source of legitimate income and, for some, even honorable. The historical decision of South Korea to ban the sale of dog meat in 2024 marked a point of cultural inflection after centuries of tradition culinary that included dishes such as The Bosintanga soup appreciated for its supposed vigorizing properties. Half a million. Today, however, figures such as Reverend Joo Yeong-Bong (religious leader and president of the Korean Association of Edible Dogs) describe a unsustainable situation: Merchants have disappeared, debts accumulate and the means to subsist fade. Not just that. The Times told That many farmers have hundreds of animals that can no longer sell, dogs whose relocation is complex or directly impossible. The government has offered compensation for Up to 600,000 Wones by dog ​​to those who close their farms before the term, but the measure is perceived as insufficient and poorly structured in front of an industry that still has about 500,000 animals in captivity. An ethical and political storm. The apparent victory of the animalist movement has uncovered a anguishing paradox: Dogs saved from the slaughterhouse could end up being sacrificed anyway due to lack of alternatives. Most of these animals are large, selected for their weight and commercial value, but considered Little suitable for adoption In an urbanized society where the small apartments. Plus: Many belong or are crossed with the Tosa-Inu breedcataloged as dangerous and subject to strict regulation. And if that were not enough, the shelter saturationthe lack of logistics resources and the social stigma that the dogs raised for consumption drag. Although the government ensures that euthanasia is not part of the plan, even leaders of animal welfare associations have admitted that many dogs They will end up being sacrificed. Activists such as Lee Sangkyung, from Humane World for Animals KoreaThey denounce that neither the State nor civil organizations were prepared to absorb the consequences of their own triumph. Partial solutions. Some isolated cases, such as R200 dogs escate In Asan and its shipment to Canada and the United States, they show that international adoption can be an exhaust valve, although limited. He stood out The BBC that testimonies such as former Yang Jong-Tae They reveal an emotional transformation: seeing how rescuers treated dogs with human dignity to him deeply, despite continuing to oppose the veto. For him, as for many in his guild, dog meat is not morally different to that of cow or pork. However, experts like Chun Myung-Sun point out that the consumption of canine meat entails health risks Superiors for not being integrated into the regulated meat system of the country. Although dog meat is still consumed in countries such as China, Vietnam or parts of Africa, in South Korea it has become more and more taboo. In 2024, only 8 % of citizens claimed to have tried it in the last year, compared to 27 % in 2015. From the announcement of the veto, more than 600 of the 1,537 farms They have closed. Ruin and generational emptiness. In addition, cultural progress brings with it a painful social invoice. The Times told that many breeders, especially the elderly, have resigned their future To poverty. Born in times of hunger and war, they say they can survive without income. However, young people in the sector face a much more gloomy reality: indebted, without buyers or clear job exit, and trapped in an activity condemned by law. Cases Like Chan-Wooa 33 -year -old farmer with 600 dogs and all its invested capital, describe the feeling of helplessness when seeing that neither the government nor the animalist organizations have offered them real solutions. Its history illustrates the clash between a moral system in transformation and an informal economy left on the sidelines. What began as a fight for animal compassion now runs the risk of translating A humanitarian disaster unnoticed. The invisible cost. The South Korean government currently invests some 4.3 million dollars Annual in expanding shelters and supporting private facilities, but still lacks a solid plan for the “disposition” of dogs. Animal defenders have relocated thousands since 2015, but warn that they cannot absorb The current volume. The farmers, on the other hand, cry out for an extension of the grace period, although some fear that it is not enough. Joo Yeong-Bong He warned That if a sustainable way is not found to solve the fate of dogs and humans trapped in this forced transition, the consequences in 2027 could be tragic. Thus, while the Fex prohibition From dog in South Korea can represent a moral milestone for the vast majority, it also exposes the ethical, economic and social dilemmas that arise after the approval of the law.
