the refrigerator and the washing machine will be the following

by

Xiaomi has entered a new phase of his conquest plan: start bringing the devices that launched in Chinabut never reached the West. The company has just celebrated a presentation event in which it has shown a lot of devices. The absolute protagonists are the new Xiaomi 15t and Xiaomi 15t Proalso a new version of Xiaomi Watch S4of the Smart Band 10 and some headphones. It was “only” a leg of the presentation. The other has had the home as the protagonist. New aspiring robotsa new camera and the Xiaomi TV S Pro Mini Lednews of products that the brand already launched in Europe. The great novelty comes from the hand of The appliances. Because, After notifying a few months ago And look at the leg with the air conditioning, Xiaomi will finally launch a washing machine and a refrigerator in our territory. This is the Mijia Refrigerator Cross Door and the Mijia Front Load Washer Dryer Pro washing. And Spain will be the spearhead for Xiaomi. The cold and wifi cold refrigerator A few months ago, coinciding with the arrival of heat, Xiaomi launched an advance in the Spanish market: the MIJIA AIR CONDITIONER PRO ECO. In an interview, Borja Gómez Carrillo, Country Manager of Xiaomi Iberia, confirmed that this final stretch of 2025 The washing machine and the refrigerator would reach our market. They were defining what models they brought (because in China, the fan is quite wide), but we already have the details. Starting with the refrigerator, The Mijia Refrigerator Cross Door It is a four -door combi model (two for the refrigerator and two for the freezer). Among its technical characteristics linked to a “life” refrigerator, we find: Double investor with a guarantee of 10 years. 90º opening doors. Total capacity of 502 liters. External touch screen for settings. Technology to suppress bacteria. Temperature control by areas that go from -1º to 5th. Dimensions of 852 x 600 x 1.912 cm and a weight of 85 kilos The key, beyond these specifications, is that it has WiFi. Yeah, It is not something so weird today And there are already several models in the market that have connection to send us notices or make a remote diagnosis, but the strength of this product is that it is connected to Xiaomi Home. We will enter this later, but what we can expect is the logical thing of a refrigerator connected to the Internet: remote temperature adjustment, change cooling mode (superfrío, super -gelding or automatic), receive alerts if something goes wrong (for example, if the door does not close well) and we can also update it and even match it with Alexa and Google Asistant To change the temperature to the flight. Washing machine to ia On the other hand, we have the Mijia Front Load Washer Dryer Pro. It is a sink whose main characteristics are as follows: 525 millimeter door diameter. Dimensions of 59.8 x 57 x 85 cm. Centrifuged at 1,400 rpm. Capacity in its washing machine: 9 kg. Capacity in its dryer function: 6 kg. Motor with direct traction and 12 years warranty Xiaomi emphasizes that it is 25% more efficient than others in class A, has rapid 12 -minute washing programs, self -limited systems and bacteria elimination (99.99% of them). But, as in the case of the refrigerator, it is in the intelligent functions where it stands out. It is also connected to Xiaomi Home And it can be updated, but perhaps the most comfortable thing is that we can customize the programs directly from the mobile instead of from the front panel of the device. To this connection is added artificial intelligence to detect the ideal temperature for drying depending on the tissues we have involved and a system that dose the detergent and softener depending on the weight to spend less product. The ecosystem is the key. And Apple knows it well Returning to our interview with Borja, he told us that What they are looking for is to expand the so -called “ecosystem”. That is where all products that are not tablets or smartphones enter, and for this, Xiaomi has a strategy that they baptized as human x car x home that aims to a total connectivity between All the legs of that ecosystem. In China it is very developed (and more With the car for a few months), But little by little they bring those devices to make more sense to an ecosystem that felt something lame only with mobile phones, cameras, vacuum robot or toothbrush. It is also a way to reinforce all aspects of the brand, obviously. Apple users know him well. They may arrive at the brand for the iPhone, and then they acquired a Mac, Airpods or a Apple Watch. Now maybe an Android mobile seem better, but if they use the airpods or the Apple Watch, they are “tied” to that ecosystem by mere comfort. The point is that Xiaomi is betting on implanting in the West something similar to what they have in Chinaseeking that, for comfort, the user acquires devices of the same brand because it is easier to control them all with an app than to fill the house with different brands, each with their own control application. Each of those devices reinforces others and makes the ‘switching cost’, or the cost of changing, more complicated. There is the meaning (beyond the comfort of controlling the washing machine with the mobile) that traditional appliances are under the umbrella of the same platform. “Coming Soon”, although Spain will be a pioneer Now, beyond the characteristics and that reinforcement to the ecosystem, little we can say both of the refrigerator and the Xiaomi washing machine. We do know that Spain, as happened with the air conditioning, will be the advance of these releases at European level, but when we look for details about the launch, we only have a ‘Coming Soon’. The same with the price. The Chinese company must continue to value … Read more

In the full boom of foreign tourism, Metro de Madrid has had an idea to make its brand profitable: luxury merchandising

by

No matter where you go or who you ask. There are certain icons that everyone recognizes worldwide. They are part of a border -proof visual heritage. A clear example are The Olympic ringsthe symbol of peace or the dollarthe arroba or the Celebrate Smilethe smiling yellow face designed decades for Harvey Ball. If we probably did a survey most people would include in that list of universal symbols The subway logo from London. Madrid It seems determined The same thing happens with your suburban. What happened? What Metro de Madrid has surprised with A peculiar proposal. One that has little to do with trains, infrastructure and schedules. Or yes. The institution has just presented an official clock, a submersible Berbier piece, stainless steel and sapphire crystal ‘inspired’ in the capital’s suburban. The images that they have already been seen show the red, blue and white logo of Madrid in the sphere and how the marks of the hours are decorated with The colors of the different lines. One, light blue; two, red; three, yellow; four, brown … in another historical wink at the bottom of the sphere appears The figure “1919”the year in which the First Line Four Caminos-Sol was inaugurated. Click on the image to go to Tweet. Is more known? Yes. Sunday The world slid Some details of the launch. The idea is to create only 50 numbered units that will be sold for 395 euros. Too much money? No problem. In case the Limited Editing Berbier clock is exhausted or the client wants to pay less, Metro plans to market another, cheaper model, which will incorporate a similar sphere with interchangeable silicone straps in four colors. The price in that case will be 120 euros. However, there is much more interesting fact. Not by what he tells us about the clock itself, but of the Metro plans. According to Precise The worldthe new accessory can be bought unocidly in the store that the operator plans to release at the opera station. It will be The third (There is already one at the Sunstation and another in the Plaza de Castilla) and the idea is that not much to open its doors. In January He pointed to the second half of 2025 already early summer It was specified that the space is probably available in the last quarter of the year, which will allow you to take advantage (at least partly) the Christmas campaign. Metro stores? That’s how it is. In itself, stores are not a novelty. As Remember Europa Pressthe history of the Metro store can be traced at least 1984, when it opened its sun sales space. Several decades later, at the end of 2017, added the place of Plaza de Castilla. Today its catalog of items can be consulted (and buy) also in latientademetromadrid.com. In addition to selling merchandising Officer and pieces such as the new Berbier watch, the opera space will serve travelers as office Customer service. But … What do they sell? They don’t sell, better. His articles list It is amazing broad: bolis, bags and backpacks, cushions, sweatshirts, fans, bottles, socks, notebooks, toys, cups and even lames with stations posters such as Santiago Bernabéu or metropolitan state. All related in one way or another to the Madrid suburban. Most show the famous blue, red and white logo or incorporate the colors of the different lines. In the wide metro catalog there is also Bestsellers They have stood out for their commercial success. For example, Some shoes Sports designed in collaboration with Titocustoms to celebrate the company’s 105 years. They launched as a limited series, but given their “great reception” Metro decided to create a new edition. In total more than 1,000 pairs have been sold. Another product with pull is The Christmas sweater. It was released in 2023 and they have already been dispatch More than 3,000 units. Are there more figures? Yes. Not many more, but there is some that helps us understand the scope of the commercial stores of Metro de Madrid and especially its evolution. At the beginning of the year, when the plans to open the opera store were announced, the Europa Press agency wakefulness That in 2023 the volume of sales before taxes reached 127,470 euros, a record that exceeds the box of the previous year, which had been 81,619. That is, the billing shot more than 56% in a year. Most sales were channeled through physical stores (75%), highlighting above all sun, with almost 65,400 euros. Why do you do it? To understand Metro’s commitment you have to know your data, but also (and even more) the context. His decision to open a new opera store coincides with two clear trends. The first is the increase in travelers. In January the company estimated that in 2024 it had reached its “historical user record”, with 715.2 million trips8% more than in 2023. The data of fact improves those registered by the company in the years before the pandemic. The other trend is the increase in tourism. Especially that of foreign origin. Spain is close to passing the historical barrier of the 100 million of international visitors and there are those who believe that in not much time, By 2040will be the great tourist referent of the planet, surpassing France or the US. Much of that flow is directed to destinations of the Mediterranean coast, the Canary Islands or Northern regions, such as Cantabria either Galiciabut Madrid also plays a key role in the national tourist fabric. In 2024 Madrid received More than 11 million of visitors. It is estimated that the international market meant 56% and generated more than 16,000 million euros, 21% more than in 2023, with a key weight of the US, Italy and France, although the Chinese are the ones who have grown the most, 74%. And what is Metro? Everything indicates that taking advantage of that pull of visitors and users. After all, the new store will not open in any place. … Read more

Xiaomi has renewed its catalog of vacuum robots with two striking models: these are the Xiaomi Robot Vacuum 5 and Vacuum 5 Pro. Both seem basically identical in almost everything, but they have an important difference in a key section. It is the system to avoid obstacles, which in Vacuum 5 Pro is even more advanced than in its “small” brother and that makes use of a unique camera system and artificial vision. But be careful, because Vacuum 5 does not detract. Let’s know them a little more closely. Technical sheet of the Xiaomi Robot Vacuum 5 and 5 Pro Xiaomi Robot Vacuum 5 Xiaomi Robot Vacuum 5 Pro Dimensions and weight Robot: 350 x 350 x 88 mm Load base: 407 x 360 x 572 mm 12.79 kg Robot: 350 x 30 x 88 mm Base: 470 x 360 x 572 mm 13 kg POWER 20,000 pa 20,000 pa Sensors DTOF retractable radar S-Cross system to avoid obstacles DTOF retractable radar AI to dodge obstacles ABILITY Powder: 2.5 liters Clean water: 4 liters Dirty water: 3.8 liters Powder: 2.5 liters Clean water: 4 liters Dirty water: 3.8 liters Control Xiaomi Home/My Home Application Compatible with Alexa and Google Assistant Xiaomi Home/My Home Application Compatible with Alexa and Google Assistant Connectivity Wi-Fi 6 Bluetooth 5.2 Wi-Fi 6 Bluetooth 5.2 Battery 5,200 mAh Up to 140 minutes Load in less than 6 h 5,200 mAh Up to 140 minutes Load in less than 6 h NOISE 54 dB 54 dB PRICE ND ND This is how Xiaomi money earns – they attract you and catch you The difference: how they avoid obstacles What clearly highlights both models is their suction capacity, which reaches 20,000 PA. These robots have anti -re -brown brushes and two small tricks to clean more and better: the ability to extend the mopa and the presence of a side brushes. To complete a more precise navigation, the Vacuum 5 robot is equipped with a DTOF retractable radar system and with the S-Cross technology of obstacle prevention. That helps clean areas with little height, being able to put under the furniture and obstacles that leave a space of 88 mm high. The ultrasonic sensor allows to detect carpets and lift the mop up to 15 mm to avoid wetting them. The corners are not a problem. That is the big difference with the Vacuum 5 Pro robot, which also uses the DTOF retractable radar, but also avoids obstacles even more advanced thanks to an AI algorithm. Said algorithm feeds on A triple camera system which projects a matrix of laser points and RGB images to identify and precisely classify small objects. That system, those responsible say, is even able to detect if the dirt is solid, liquid or mixed, and all this contributes to prevent the robot from being blocked. The base station not only loads the robot, but also has clean water tanks (4 L) and dirty (3.8 L), in addition to a 2.5 l compartment for dust. THE MAP CLEANING SYSTEM Allows you to configure the water temperature (environment, warm or hot) for more effective cleaning. And after cleaning, the drying system reduces drying time to only two hours with 99% effectiveness. In the Pro model that mop can heat the water to 80º for a more efficient cleaning. These two vacuum robots are equipped with a 5,200 mAh battery that according to Xiaomi provides an autonomy of up to 140 minutes with a single load. The Xiaomi Home application allows you to control features such as Video Manager, which MAKES Use of the Integrated 1080P camera In the Xiaomi Robot Vacuum 5 Pro to offer real time monitoring of the cleaning process and also allows us to control the device with voice orders. Versions and price of the Xiaomi Robot Vacuum 5 and 5 Pro We have no data on the availability and prices of the new Xiaomi Robot Vacuum 5 and 5 Pro, but we will update this information as soon as we have them available.

On the one hand, the pro is thicker and somewhat heavier, although the dimensions, in practice, They are almost identical. On the other hand, both share the cameras module that seems what it may seem, does not host four lenses, but three. Thirdly, and although Xiaomi has not revealed the material of 15T, it has confirmed that the PRO MARCOS are made of aluminum alloy 6m13. As for the screen, the configuration is almost the same on both devices. In both cases we have a 6.83 -inch AMOLED panel with 1.5K resolution, Dolby Vision, HDR1O+, a peak shine of 3,200 nits and protection Gorilla Glass 7i. The difference is in the refreshment rate (120 Hz in the base model and 144 Hz in the Pro model) and in the Lipo technology (Low-Insure Pressure Over-Molding), Thanks to which Xiaomi has managed to reduce the thickness of the frames in the Xiaomi 15t Pro. Xiaomi 15t Pro | Image: Xataka For the rest, the usual suspects: USB type C, stereo speakers compatible with Dolby Atmos and hi-res and a lot of microphones that, in the case of the PRO, consists of a mesh of three.

Mediak at the controls Xiaomi 15t | Image: Xataka Xiaomi has left Qualcomm aside for these devices and, instead, He has opted for Mediatek chips (that it has been doing very well for some time, everything is said).

The latter is made of three nanometers compared to the four of the first and significantly increases the speed of the CPU.

Tether is the great cover of the world of crypts. Aspires to value 500,000 million for doing something simplistic: save foreign money

by

Tether Holdings SA is the company responsible for issuing and controlling the most important stablcoin in the world – also called “Tether” (USDT) -. And those responsible are in negotiations with investors for lift up to 20,000 million dollars. If that round becomes effective, Tether would become a company with an assessment of 500,000 million dollars, and the question is obvious: how can a company be worth so much that nobody has heard? What is Tether (USDT). Launched in 2014, Tether is a cryptocurrency With its own block chain. It is designed to facilitate the use of Fiat currencies (such as the dollar or the euro) digital. Tether is specifically A stablecoina cryptocurrency whose value is strongly linked to the US dollar, which makes its volatility virtually nil. One would think that it is much more interesting to operate with Bitcoins or Ethereum, but care: Tether is a giant for a much simpler reason than it seems. As big as Netflix. If this investment round is confirmed, Tether would be at the level of companies such as Netflix, the 18th company for market capitalization According to Companies Market Cap. Unlike other technological companies focused on future innovation, Tether is a company whose business model is strongly tied to current cash flow. Sources close to negotiations talk that this investment round could be “significantly lower”, so the estimated assessment could be much lower. Interest gains. This is Tether’s main source of income. For each USDT token, the company keeps an equivalent amount in reservations, and does so largely in assets that generate interest, such as US Treasury Bonds. Its current market value is 173,000 million dollars, and thanks to that you can invest those huge reserves and obtain mass profits. In fact Tether is currently one of the great debt holders of the United States government. Extraordinary benefit margin. The CEO of Tether, Paolo Ardoino, He has affirmed Recently the company has a 99%benefit margin. That means that their COESTE operations are incredibly low compared to their income. Tether Holdings Sa is an efficient money to make money. The reference stable. Its success is also based on having become the most popular stablcoin in the cryptodivsis market. Thus, while the current market assessment of Tether S of 173,000 million dollars, the following stablecoin in relevance is USDC, with an assessment of 74,000 million, less than half. But. Although the company has a privileged position and an apparently promising future, Tether He had problems in the past that also threaten their projection. Thus, in 2021 He had to pay A fine of 41 million dollars for a lawsuit for misrepresenting its reserves. The company has also been criticized for the opacity of its reserves: although it publishes quarterly reports, these are not audited by any of the Big Four (such as PWC or Deloitte), but by less recognized signatures. Regulation. The true Damocles sword for Tether is the regulatory tensions. That has left her out of the US market for years, but the company has moved a card hiring a former White House official and it seems that there is now a clear and favorable approach Bajo Trump. However, the US continues Approve laws that will force Tether to restructure its model to access that market. In Xataka | In 2011 a group of investors bought 80,000 bitcoins.

But those who are making it more likely are neither Google nor Microsoft

OpenAI has announced The construction of five new data centers in the United States as part of Project Stargate. These facilities will be developed in collaboration with Oracle and Softbank, and will have a joint power of 7 GW, more or less the equivalent of what would generate seven large nuclear reactors. Why is it important. We had just believed that The announcement of the colossal project It was really to crystallize, but eight months later this announcement confirms that there are certainly solid plans to try to carry it forward. It seemed not easy for the gigantic financing of $ 500,000 million in the next four years, but the pieces seem OpenAi ad. Oracle as the main partner. Three of the new facilities will be developed in Oracle collaboration. They will be created by Shakelford County in Texas, in Doña Ana County in New Mexico, and in a third location still to be determined in the mid-west. The announcement is precisely the confirmation of the Agreement announced Between both companies in July. In this agreement there was talk of how both companies were going to create data centers with a joint capacity of 4.5 GW in addition to that both are already building in Abilene. In 2026 the first will be ready. The most important data center of this collaboration is that it is already under construction in Abilene (Texas), which will be owned by Oracle and will have OpenAi as the main client. The project is being managed by the startup Crusoe, and It is expected that is completed in mid -2026. It will consist of eight large buildings, each with a capacity of 100 MW. One of those buildings is already completed and in total the center will consist with more than 400,000 GPUS and will have a joint capacity of 1.4 GW according to sources close to the project. Is it better than not missing? Jonathan Koomey, a professor at the University of Berkeley in California, has studied the efficiency of data centers for years. In his opinionthese gigantic investments may not be enough to guarantee Openai’s success, especially when Depseek showed that much more efficient and affordable models can be valid alternatives. For Koomey, Openai’s bet – scarce big – may not go well, and will have to be fulfilled that the demand for computing that Altman foresees and his own is fulfilled. Dizzy figures. If Openai manages to execute this project, it will cease to be a mere research laboratory to become a reference in the field of infrastructure, competing with traditional giants such as Amazon Web Services or Microsoft Azure. That only the Abilene data center has a capacity of 1.4 GW is extraordinary, especially when Denmark’s average consumption was 4.38 GW (38.4 twh divided by the number of hours of the year, 8,760). This is: the OpenAI Data Center consumes almost a third of the average total electricity consumption throughout Denmark for 2024. THE OTHER BIG TECH. The really surprising thing about this project is that traditional Big Tech are not involved in it, but companies that seem to ambition to enter that group … or create a new elite. So, Stargate is, above all, a slogan. Although initially it was assumed that Stargate would be a new company, now managers close to the project indicate which is rather a kind of “umbrellas” under which all OpenAi data centers projects are encompassed, except those developed in collaboration with Microsoft. There is still uncertainty. Despite this announcement, the challenges facing the project are still colossal. The chip supply chain, the development of energy solutions and cooling systems is fragile, and remains to be seen 1) if those data centers will be completed and enter into operation, and 2) if they will really be necessary. Sam Altman is especially obsessed with that idea, and In a recent post on your blog He talked about how the use of AI services will grow even more spectacularly in the coming months.

In 2027 the assault will begin

by

Xiaomi is celebrating a presentation event in Munich baptized as ‘Far Closer’. This is an appointment in which the company details what the devices and services will reach our borders over the coming months, and the bombing has not taken long to arrive: the launch date for the Xiaomi electric car in Europe. Unfortunately, they will continue playing with expectations for a while. Xiaomi’s electric car. Xiaomi has not gone with lead feet when developing his car. If the imposing first arrived Xiaomi Su7then the Xiaomi Yu7a car with which the company managed to sell 200,000 units In just three minutes in China. These are two very different models, but they are getting kneel on your own pitch. And, although they lost money during the first year selling cars -800 billion dollars- It is a necessary sacrifice and an “excellent” news. 2027. Lei Jun, CEO of the company, indicated that Soon they would initiate business expansiontaking out its electric cars, Chinese, but now it is in this European event when the company has set date: 2027. In the live they have commented that they will reach the European market, but also to other countries with that “Xiaomi Ev Going Global” of the slide. Unfortunately, they have not offered many more data than those: we do not know concrete markets, neither will it only arrive the SU7, Yu7 or both and, of course, no prices. 10,000. The other important fact that marks the ambition of the company in its western expansion is that they plan to reach 10,000 stores for 2030. Currently, Xiaomi operates with a franchise system: stores in which their devices are sold, have the support of the brand and all the guarantee, but that are not managed by the Xiaomi itself. That is changing, since a few days ago the Chinese company announced that it will open this September 27 Your first store Officer in our country, a ‘flagship store’ that can be much more than a point where to buy both day -to -day devices and appliances and air conditioning, for example: it can become a dealership. Buying cars online is no longer so weird. Tesla, in fact, has cemented its business in that distribution route, as well as Lynk & Co’s Chinese Companiesbut Xiaomi can take advantage of its network of physical stores to show consumers their new star product: the car.

95% of plastics are manufactured with oil and gas. Japan has gotten a bacterium in place

by

The world is flooded with plastic. There are microplastics even in our testicles. And the vast majority of them are manufactured from fossil fuels, which aggravates our dependence on these non -renewable resources. In Japan, a bioingenier team from the University of Kobe has found a promising solution. From Pet to PDCA. 95% of the plastics that we use in our day to day are manufactured from oil and gas (98%, if we add coal). In containers, textiles and to the interior of the cars we find a plastic known as polyethylene terephthalate or PET. The objective is to find a high performance alternative to the PET using renewable and biodegradable sources. Exists. It is called pyridineodycarboxylic acid (PDCA) and is a environment -respecting monomer that, when it is polymerized, has comparable physical properties or even superior to those of the PET. The problem, until now, had been to produce large -scale PDCA. Traditional methods to synthesize it are not very efficient and generate unwanted by -products. The solution: a bacterium. The novelty of Japanese research, published in the magazine Metabolic Engineeringis that it uses the cellular metabolism of the bacteria Escherichia coli To produce PDCA from glucose. Unlike the previous bioproduction methods, this makes the bacteria assimilate nitrogen and build the compound from beginning to end, eliminating the problem of by -products. While the existing bioproduction methods They had encountered limitations regarding the quantity and purity of the final compound, bioreactors based on this bacterium are capable of making a clean PDCA synthesis at more than seven times higher concentrations. And with abundant and cheap raw material. E. coli as factory operators. The process has not been exempt from difficulties. The largest bottleneck was to prevent one of the enzymes introduced into the bacteria to produce hydrogen peroxide, a highly reactive compound that deactivated the enzyme itself. The researchers managed to overcome this obstacle by refining the crops and adding a compound capable of eliminating hydrogen peroxide. Now they look for a more profitable solution for large -scale production. The future of bioplastic. Despite the pending challenge, this progress feels the foundations of large -scale plastic microbial synthesis. The practical implementation of bioreactors for the production of high performance PDCA is not only possible, but is a step closer to becoming a reality at an industrial scale.
