Nvidia desperately seeks engineers for its Taiwan R&D center. They even accuse you of “stealing them” to TSMC

by

Nvidia smiles at the future. The pulse held by the US and China governments is degrading their business in the latter country because the US administration prevents them from selling its chips to its Chinese clients to artificial intelligence (Ia) more powerful. Even so, the company led by Jensen Huang currently monopolizes about 90% of the market of the GPUs for Ia. It is likely that in the medium term its quota will be reduced against the presumable growth of competitors such as Huawei or AMD, but right now Nvidia has no reason to worry. And it does not have them because the semiconductor market to grow a lot over the next few years. According to the AMR consultant (Allied Market Research) In 2031 it will have a turnover volume of More than 263,000 million dollars. It is a real barbarity, especially if we are in mind that in 2021 its business amounted to just over 11,000 million dollars. Although the NVIDIA quota is reduced during the next few years, it is reasonable to assume that its business volume will be increased by market growth. The problem facing this company is now another. This is what the engineers who hire in Taiwan pay Nvidia’s directive dome seems to be very clear about what to continue growing next to the AI ​​chips market for data centers: expand. It is about it. However, we must not overlook that this company is dedicated to the design of integrated circuits, so it does not need to invest in the construction of semiconductor manufacturing plants; What needs to expand its network of research and development centers (R&D). And Taiwan is a very attractive destination. Nvidia already has an R&D center in Taiwan, and is launching another The semiconductor industry is The main support of the island’s economywhich has caused Taiwanese universities to develop specialized training programs that seek to place the highly qualified technical staff on the labor market that They require companies such as TSMC, UMC or Foxconnamong others. Nvidia already has an R&D center in Taiwan, and is launching another. However, you are facing a very serious problem: it is having many difficulties in recruiting the highly qualified engineers you need. It is surprising, but although in Taiwan thousands of engineers are formed every year, the companies of the island have a hard time recruiting as many as they need. Even to TSMC. To solve this problem NVIDIA has chosen to offer very high wages. An engineer who has just finished his studies and, therefore, has no experience, pays him a maximum salary of $ 83,000 annually. And an experienced engineer up to 185,000 dollars a year and a very juicy bonus. According to the Taiwanese medium EBC News Nvidia’s aggressive salaries’ policy responds to the need for attract TSMC engineers highly qualified. It does not seem crazy. After all, the law of supply and demand works. Image | Nvidia More information | Tom’s hardware In Xataka | Nvidia has to deal with the absolute distrust of several US legislators.

The British who lost 700 million in Bitcoins when he threw his album has just achieved what anyone saw coming: his own series

by

In the world there is only one hard drive that nobody has been able to find, but many remember. Contains between 7,500 and 8,000 bitcoins and, According to its owneris buried under tons of garbage in a Newport landfill, Wales. James Howells It has been trying to recover it for more than a decade because its digital assets exceed 700 million euros. He has not succeeded. However, its story is now more valuable than ever: an American producer has bought exclusive rights to turn it into docuserie, podcast and, if everything goes as planned, also into content for social networks. Howells is a computer engineer. He lives in Wales and has been obsessed for years with the idea of ​​recovering that device, which ensures that he keeps the private keys of a digital fortune generated in 2009, when the price of cryptocurrency had not yet risen. At that time, Bitcoin was a newborn experiment. It used to undermine from domestic computers and its value was so low that no one imagined what it would be. Howells was one of the first to get on that wave, and also one of the first to lose everything without having sold anything. A landfill, a digital fortune and an obsession without end to view As told the Guradian years agomore than a decade ago, while cleaning at home, confused hard drives. He threw the wrong. Shortly after, seeing how the price of Bitcoin raised, he realized what he had done. “Do you know when you throw something in the trash and you think ‘it’s a bad idea’? It really happened to me,” he told the newspaper. Since then he is convinced that the device ended up in the Docksway Municipal Villagemanaged by the Newport City Council. And since then, he has also tried to recover it by all possible means. Over the years he has presented different proposals to find the album. In 2022 came to raise an operation of 10.7 million euros To execute with a team of data recovery specialists, environmental engineers and specific machinery. Its plan included the use of artificial intelligence, a robotic arm to sift waste and even Boston Dynamic robot dogss. He also offered part of the money with the authorities and the citizens of Newport. But nothing worked. Authorities have always refused. They allege that environmental risks are too high, that the operation does not guarantee results and that the public cost, in case of failure, would be unassumable. In January 2025the British Superior Court rejected the claim of Howells, claiming that There was no “realistic possibilities” successful Shortly after, the resource was also dismissed. Howells represented himself in the view, using AI tools to prepare his case. It was not enough. Now plan Bring the case to the European Court of Human Rights. And meanwhile, consider another option: Buy the landfill. The City Council has announced that it will close during the 2025–2026 year and plans to convert part of the land in a solar park. For Howells, that decision disassembled one of the key arguments used against him in court: to suspend the activity of the landfill to dig would cause damage to the neighbors. If the closure is already underway, he maintains, there should be no more obstacles. He says he talked to investors and ensures that he has support to acquire the installation “as it is.” This whole route is the one that has captured the attention of Lebula producer based in Los Angeles specialized in multiplatform stories. As we point out above, he has acquired the exclusive rights of Howells’s history to develop what they have entitled ‘The Buried Bitcoin: The Real-Life Treasure Hunt of James Howells‘, a project that will combine different formats and channels. The objective is not only to tell the past, but also to follow in real time the next steps of the protagonist. The initiative includes “a premium format docuserie”, a narrative Póstcast and a short content strategy for social platforms. Lebul defines the project as “a live treasure search” that mixes technology, judicial drama and personal ambition with a very current backdrop: the promise of cryptocurrencies. As explained by the company, CGI effects and high -level narrative resources will be used to recreate the key moments of history and show the technical plan proposed by Howells. “This is not just content,” said Reese Van Allen, president of Unscripted Entertainment in Lebul. “It is a real -acting technological thriller With almost one billion dollars at stake, and Lebul is proud to bring it to the world. “The company affirms that the project has already aroused the interest of streaming platforms, global sponsors and relevant figures of the crypto ecosystem. At the moment, however, we do not know what service we could see, if it becomes a reality. “After seeing the documentary, people will understand that it is not crazy” Filming is scheduled for the summer of 2025, with an estimated premiere between October and November. The producer has also confirmed that the story will include the purchase attempt of the landfill, the last judicial failures and the current state of the conflict with the City Council. For Howells, this project represents a unique opportunity: “It is the first time that I will be able to clearly teach what we want to do in the landfill. After seeing the documentary, people will understand that it is not crazy,” told the BBC. The case has caught the attention of dozens of producers over the years. According to Howells himself, He received more than 200 proposalsincluding some winners of the Bafta and the Emmy. Until now he always said it was not the time. The legal battles were open, and the story still had no shape. Lebul’s announcement marks a change. For the first time, its history becomes a media project with calendar, budget and ambitions digital distribution. Is the hard drive really there? Is it still intact after more than a decade underground? Will you keep private … Read more

I have played the ‘Nintendo Switch 2 Welcomme Tour’ thinking that it was a payment manual. It turns out that it is a science museum

by

The presentation of Nintendo Switch 2 In April it was curious. In the event they revealed a lot of details and interesting games that excited the players, but after it, the Batacazo arrived. The console prices, of games and accessories. The monetary hangover lasted a few days and the lace was the ‘Nintendo Switch 2 Welcomo Tour’. This collection of mini -games was like the “manual” of switch 2 … of payment. 9.99 euros, specifically. It is not something I like in the community, but after trying it, I am clear that it is much more than a Nintendo Switch 2 user guide. 1-2 switch. When a console arrives with innovative characteristics, the best way to test them is through demos. With the launch of Switch in 2017Nintendo came up to launch a game that, for 19.99 euros, allowed to experiment with the control infrared sensor, with the HD vibration or with the movement sensors. Called ‘1-2 switch‘, it was curious, but nothing more, and accompanied in the launch of the machine by’ The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild ‘, because little attention was going to monopolize beyond the one granted by curious eyes. Welcome to Switch 2. literally. Nintendo Switch 2 is not that it is the pinnacle of innovation. It is a rather continuous console, than It is just what Nintendo needs After the resounding success of the predecessor, but as they know that many people may want to get on the train of the new switch, they have prepared something similar to ‘1-2 Switch’: ‘Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour’. The problem? That since it was announced, this collection of mini -games to know the technical details of the machine was more like a manual than as a video game. And, worse: a payment manual. I’m already Testing Nintendo Switch 2 for analysisI have mine on the way and what was clear was that this game did not call me or the least. Luckily I had to play it to see how wrong I was. A Science Museum. Because … yes and no. ‘Welcomome Tour’ is the console manual as long as it teaches us all the details of it. We review the command, we review the screen, all the buttons of the Joy-Con and every millimeter of the system and some of its peripherals, but we do it as if we were in a museum. As a child, the museums bored me, but when my parents took me to a Science Museumthe thing changed. That of pulling levers, moving a giant wave, seeing gears and ‘moves’ in motion was something that excited me. And, precisely, that is this game. We chose an avatar, we queue to enter a Nintendo Switch 2 giant and Ale, to explore. Each piece of the system has an information panel that rewards us if we find it, there are mini -games that allow us to explore how certain buttons and modes and also informative panels are used on hardware elements. If we want, we can spend a kind of exam to get prizes and move on the virtual console, and it really is fun. Cheat. At this point, I know how haptic vibration works, I know how the optical sensor allows the joy-with in mouse mode (very precise, by the waybut incompatible with some hands) and they will not discover anything at the technical level of the machine, but without being the target user of this, I have fun collecting the collectibles, and beyond for this test, I will continue playing. I think that, in addition, it can be a very didactic title for all types of audiences that buy the console and want to learn more about it and about technology in general. In addition to enjoying seeing how they explain one thing and, to the second, you can put that into practice. The problem is that … well, there are two problems. And it comes with controversy. One is that you cannot get 100% of the game only with the console and the Joy-Con. There are some mini -games and demonstrations that require a 4K television that can be common in homesbut … there are also those who need the Pro command (90 euros) and the camera (another 60 euros). Nintendo already specifies it in the game website With a “for certain technical demonstrations, additional accessories are required, for sale separately”, but it is curious. Minigame to test the mouse mode And another to experience vibration Oh, the precedents … And the second controversy comes with the price. Not so much for having to pay those 10 euros, but because it will mean a barrier for many people to enjoy this title. With the launch of PlayStation 5Sony included a demo, that of ‘Astro’s Playroom‘. Not only was it a precious tribute to the history of PlayStation, but a really fun platform video game. Liked that their developers had green light to develop a complete game, ‘Astro Bot‘, who ended up taking the award to’ Best Game ‘in the’The Game Awards‘of 2024. ‘Nintendo Switch 2: Welcome Tour’ would have been not only a perfect gift for Nintendo Switch 2 buyers to have something to play as soon as the console should turn on, but also the opportunity for more people to discover this game so curious and ‘cuckoo’ in which a few developers have been working. Because it shows that there is a lot of love in this “payment manual”, but precisely that it is paid and that it looks like a manual is what can be a wall for many users. And it’s not just ‘Asto’s Playroom’: Wii had ‘Wii Sports‘Included, and it was a huge pilar on which The success of the console was cemented.

The house is getting so impossible in Madrid that people are returning to an unexpected place: seseña

by

Real estate markets have their own symbols. For years Seseña was from Lick, The real estate bubble which exploded in 2008. Today is something very different: the housing crisis which faces Madrid (and Spain), which has allowed that ancient ghost city associated with Francisco Hernando‘El Pozero’, being reborn strongly. With prices in climbing And a serious housing deficit In the capital, more and more people look out of Madrid when they have to look for a house, to localities such as ValladolidSegovia … or seseña, where It has resumed construction and arise New promotions residential AND It is not the only “Ghost city” that is gaining impulse thanks to the families expelled from Madrid for a market that increasingly tightens Your pockets. Of brick bubble icon … For years Seseña, especially THE PAU THE QUIÑÓN (The city projected by ‘Paco el Pocero’) was an icon of the years of brick excess and The real estate bubble. Also of his hangover. Those who bought in the middle of the urban maelstrom found a kind of “Ghost Barrio”homes in the hands of banks and a fractured market in which prices did not stop falling. If in 2007 a two bedroom floor cost almost 200,000 euros, seven years later, with the banks desperate to get rid of the properties, it could be bought by less than half: about 60,000 euros. … to enjoy a golden age. Today things are different in Seseña. After years with half -building works and worried For the Okupas, the town is living a new golden age. Families arrive. They open business and services. Projects such as PARQUIJOTE. And they raise New promotions. In 2023 The newspaper He spoke of two major projects: an urbanization of 156 houses that moved between 110,500 and just over 200,000 euros and another of chalets. The change has been cooking for some time. Almost a decade ago The countryHe dedicated him A wide report in which he explained how the residential city the Quiñón was gaining impulse little by little, with families, businesses and services. At that time the newspaper spoke of 6,411 inhabitants. Last year Antena3 again analyzed the situation of the Macro Urbanization Toledana and He found An increase in the number of residents, in addition to a growing demand for housing. “Three years ago you could find a house easily here. Now it is almost impossible,” explained At that time Vanesa, a woman who had installed time before in the Toledo urbanization after buying a four -room house with storage room, garage and pool for about 150,000 euros. Waiting list to buy. The last clue on the rebirth of the urbanization of Seseña gave it A few days ago Reuters, who has found The growing interest by the town. Although it is about 40 kilometers south of the capital and does not have the best connections and public transport, more and more families seem interested in settling in their apartments. Reuters speak With an agency that had a waiting list of 70 people for each home. Seseña (and something else). The area has also seen how the new work was also activated. Promotora Impact Homes, for example, is promoting a promotion of 156 homes which started in 2023. Its goal is to have it ready throughout this year. In the sector there is even talk of presale levels of almost 50% In new buildings. “Seseña is 100%,” celebrates the mayor, Jaime de Hita. His is not the only town in Madrid that has seen how his brick was activated. Something similar It has happened in Valdeluzurbanization located 75 km from Madrid that It was halfway after the outbreak of the real estate bubble. Its mayor wait that the population triggers over the next few years. Reuters appointment even a third example: an urbanization located on the outskirts of Bernuy de Porrerosapproximately 100 kilometers north of Madrid, which has also recovered the activity after remaining almost abandoned. And what is the reason? All these populations have something in common: their relative proximity to Madrid, which makes them an attractive destination for families that end up being expelled from the capital for the high cost of their home. Is The case For example, from Nestor, an employee of the construction sector who four years ago left Carabanchel to move with his family to Seseña. Living in Seseña requires you to get up every day at dawn and take the 6.30 h bus that takes it to the capital, but the price gap makes that discomfort more than assumable. In his day Nestor moved to Seseña because the rentals were there 20% lower than those of Madrid, Explainand a few months ago he decided to take another step and become an owner: together with his wife, he bought an apartment in the Toledo town for 240,000 euros. “We chose this close site because we can pay it. Madrid is very expensive right now,” The man tells. Is it a unique case? No. It comes rapidly to the newspaper library to meet Testimonies of families who have decided to settle in Seseña or professionals in the sector who attend the rebirth of urbanization and its buildings. “They seemed monsters that were going to stand for the future, but the need for housing has caused them to reactivate,” confesses A real estate to Tele5. “We move in prices below 200,000 euros. That is impossible in Madrid.” Money issue (and km). Seseña is not the only town to which the families expelled by the Madrid real estate marketthat only in the last year has seen how housing became more expensive, According to idealist. The improvement (and cheaper) of communications, especially the train, has caused Segovia or even Valladolid being hosting people who work for companies in the capital. In those municipalities they find homes at prices that, such as I recently recognized A family installed in Valladolid, “Nor would they smell” in Madrid.

In 2015, Catar’s ex-emir fractured a leg in Morocco. So his nine Boeing 747 private set for Switzerland

by

In December 2015, an incident starring the ex-emir of Qatar, Hamad Bin Khalifa Al Thani, exposed to what extent the deployment of Media of a real family. What began with a fall in the mountains of Morocco ended up collapsing the Zurich airport with the arrival of nine Private Boeing 747 In the middle of the night they needed a special permit of the Swiss airport authority to land. This episode, beyond the anecdotal, reveals how protocols and infrastructure that surrounds large fortunes can Mobilize resources on a difficult scale to imagine to The common of mortals. As in THE THEORY OF CHAOSthe effect of a fall in Morocco put a serious squeeze to Swiss air controllers. A real accident in Morocco During the December 2015 vacationsSheikh Hamad Bin Khalifa Al Thani, who was Emir from Qatar since 1995 and father of the country’s current leader, suffered an accident in the Atlas mountains, in Morocco. The 63 -year -old millionaire at that time fractured a leg while enjoying a snow vacation, As reported In your day Morocco World News. However, the severity of the injury that caused the fall led the EMIR personal medical team to recommend its immediate transfer to Switzerland to be operated there. The ex -president was evacuated to a Swiss hospital where he could receive medical attention more advanced and specialized for recovery. The evacuation was carried out aboard one of the Boeing 747 that the Catarí royal family uses as a private jet. The problem is that the emir never travels alone. Eight Boeing 747 more were needed. That is, one delegation formed by nine aircraftif we have the one that transported the former Hamad Bin Khalifa to the Thani. In Zurich they did not believe it As Everything that happens Around the Catarí royal family, the transfer of the former emir was not a simple private flight. Six of the airplanes took away immediately from Doha to Zurich destination, to support the transfer of the president, while the other three remaining were part of the personal entourage of the patriarch of the Al Thani clan. According to public The GuardianZurich-Kloten airport controllers were quickly overwhelmed at the presence of nine aircraft asking to land in the middle of the night due to the medical emergency of their most illustrious passenger. In just a few hours, a total of nine Boeing 747 operated by Qatar Amiri Flight, the family’s exclusive airline Al thani requested to take land at the Swiss airport. The situation was so exceptional That the Swiss authorities had to grant a special permit for airplanes to land outside the allowed schedule, since Zurich-Kloten airport prohibits night air traffic so as not to disturb local residents. The simultaneous arrival of so many private jets for a medical emergency was an unprecedented event in the Swiss city. Obviously, as they counted in Luxurylaunchesthis aerial deployment not only responded to the need to transfer the patient, but to mobilize all his entourage. Among the passengers of the nine Boeing 747 the private medical team of the Sheikh, the family security personnel, personal, family assistants, etc. was traveling etc. Each plane had a specific purpose, from transporting medical equipment to guaranteeing the comfort and safety of all companions of the ex-emir during their stay in Switzerland. The private fleet of the Thani family: more than a luxury Beyond the anecdotal of mobilizing nine aircraft that in their commercial configuration are able to transport 400 people, the private fleet of the family to Thani is part of an infrastructure designed to guarantee the mobility and well -being of its members in any circumstance. These nine Boeing 747 are not simple private jets: inside they have medical suites, private rooms and, in some cases, gyroestabilized hospital beds that keep the patient stable during the flight. The luxury and sophistication level of these aircraft exceeds any usual standard. All this, adorned and splashed with the most exclusive luxuries, which makes these planes authentic flying palaces capable of responding to any emergency or need of the Catarí royal family.

Disney has managed to resurrect the live-action thanks to ‘Lilo & Stitch’. The next on the list is much more risky

by

‘Lilo & Stitch’ has been one of the undisputed surprises at the 2025 box office. He not only exceeded the most warm expectations of Disney at his premiere, recovering his budget in just a couple of days. He has also put an end to the curse of remakes in real image of Disney classics, which carried a frankly terrible quality and box office. And now, all right, right? Well… Alien pepinazo. As We comment on the week of its premierethis remake of the 2002 animated classic raised worldwide 341 million dollars. Virtually half of that amount, 157.8 million, was in international markets, becoming the second best premiere of the year, only behind ‘A Minecraft movie‘. It has already folded the amount, with 610 million. In Spain, According to ComscoreIt was even better: 5.7 million euros at its premiere, and has already reached 11.57 million. Here it has been the best premiere of the year, providing a good oxygen ball to the battered state box office. An effective formula. ‘Lilo & Stitch ‘is the last success of a formula that until recently seemed infallible: remake in real image and with CGI effects the company’s animated classics. A apparently undressing idea That, although he has encountered critical voices that have always gone very well at the box office. Thus it was with one of the first of his style, ‘101 Dalmatas’, in 1996, and with the first of the current surge of remakes, the ‘Alice in the Wonderland’ of Tim Burton of 2010 and his sequel. And they still had to get the great successes. Tachillas and refritos. But from there they did nothing more to climb: ‘Cinderella’, ‘The book of the jungle’, ‘Maleficent’ … until they reached the two great bombings: ‘The beautiful and the beast’ in 2017, with 1,263 million collection, and ‘The León King’ in 2019, with 1,662 million. Two successes of criticism and public that settled the formula under which films were continued that, however, came across increasingly frequent criticisms, such as the rather terrible ‘Aladdin‘ and ‘Dumbo‘, both released the same year, 2019. Free fall. However, it was a formula that could not last forever. The public’s fatigue due to the patent lack of originality of Hollywood, and that has affected to franchises as successful as Marvel Or Star Wars also made a dent in this genre. It was seen, for example, in ‘Peter and the dragon’ or ‘mulán’ (also devalued by the moment it premiered, during the pandemic and directly in Disney+to boost the newly released platform). The last disasters have been ‘The Little Mermaid‘, very affected by the wear stormy promotion With its two faced protagonists. To all this are added a series of films that have barely echoed among the public and that in many cases theaters have been skipped, such as ‘Pinocchio’, ‘Peter Pan & Wendy’ or ‘The Lady and the Vagabundo’. And a couple of exceptions. However, the formula is not completely exhausted, or that should think of Disney. ‘Mufasa’, despite a lazy start, with a premiere well below expectations, honored the strength of the franchise of ‘El Rey León’ and endured all Christmas, adding 670 satisfactory millions of dollars. Incomparable with the collection of his predecessor, but still, one of the successes of 2024. And the case of ‘Lilo & Stitch’ already knows him. Why are you? The reason why these two have worked in seemingly adverse times for remakes is double: on the one hand, ‘MUFASA’ and ‘Lilo & Stitch’ are less conflictive in their delivery, and they have not had to endure discredit campaigns, Review-pumping and other tactics of harassment and demolition of Toxic fandom. On the other, there are two franchises with good health: ‘The Lion King’ is the most popular and blockbuster remake in the history of Disney; And Stitch is a phenomenon of merchandising Disney Recent: Annual Sales of Products related to the character have gone from 200 million dollars in 2019 to exceed 2.6 billion dollars in the last yearaccording to ‘The Wall Street Journal’. A future with doubts. But the thing does not end here, because there are no guarantees of success in the coming years. Some remakes have been affected by the prick at the ‘Snow White’ box office, such as ‘entangled’, whose production has been arrested. Of many there are almost no data, such as ‘The Humpback of Notre Dame’, ‘Hercules’ or ‘The Aristogatos’. But the authentic doubts are with ‘Vaiana’, scheduled for July 2026, and that involves a certain risk: its animated precedent is unusually close, 2016 and, in fact, a sequel to theaters has just released. Will you accuse this success more or less safe the wear of the formula? When we review the successes of 2024 (Among them, by the way, ‘Vaiana 2’), we talked about a problem that Hollywood cannot continue hiding for longer: all its blockbusters are sequelae, remakes or REBOOTS. It is a formula that supposes bread for today and hunger for tomorrow, and the best test is the remake in real image of ‘Vaiana’. It is as simple as this: Hollywood is running out of films to make remakes: the dead end inside a dead end.

The Catl battery factory in Aragon promised to generate thousands of work. At the moment, 2,000 Chinese will be left

by

1,847 Chinese workers. That is the estimated figure that, according to The Aragon newspaperwill arrive in Figueruelas to lift the battery production plant for electric cars that Catl and Stellantis signed months ago. Then it was sold that some 3,000 jobs would be created but, for the moment, almost 2,000 employees will come from the Asian country. The data. The first time that the subject was discussed Chain ser Last May. Then it was pointed out that Catl would arrive in Figueruelas (Aragon) with more than 2,200 workers from China who will raise the new battery factory for Stellantis “, in the words of Mayor Luis Bertol. The figure, as we see, has clarified until it closes in the aforementioned 1,847 workers. The town faces a challenge, since those almost 2,000 workers would fold the current census of inhabitants that In 2024 it was estimated at 1,240 neighbors. Obviously, the vast majority of factory workers that Stellantis has in the municipality live in nearby towns and, above all, in near Zaragoza since they are currently accounted for about 5,000 regular employees in the property of the car manufacturer. A promise. The new factory that Catl and Stellantis will raise in Figueruelas will be The largest battery producer of electric cars from our country, even ahead of Volkswagen’s in Sagunto. Then it was announced that it arrived with an investment of 4.1 billion euros under the arm. But it was also promised that it would create 3,000 direct jobs. The figure leaves the declaration of general interest (say) approved by the Government of Aragon to open the doors to the express processing of the aid, as collected in December 2024 in The Spanish. “The noise is in the media”. Since the news was known, the coming and going of the numbers on Chinese workers has raised some dust. It is not clear why CATL needs to bring almost 2,000 Chinese workers to raise their factory. Nor if that work could have been left in the close environment or if knowledge is missing for it. Similarly, it has also been put on the table how Figueruelas will face its population. Bertol pointed to The Aragon newspaper that “noise is more in the media than among our neighbors.” Explain that the idea is to start prefabricated housing near the factory facilities. And he shields that there was already a similar situation in the 80s when General Motors lifted the Opel plant (which now belongs to Stellantis) in the town. Is it legal? According to The Aragon newspaperChinese workers who will arrive in Figueruelas will not be only operators that aim to lift the factory. Intermediate controls are expected and, of course, high -ranking controls. To do this, Catl will apply the framework of the Unity Law of large companies and strategic groups (Law 14/2013) Born to promote the arrival of these macroprojects after the 2008 crisis. This law is included, for example, the streamlining of residence permits for highly qualified workers. Is Chinese labor needed? “At the start you need people who, getting out of the plane, know what to do in that factory later.” Thus defends Bertol, mayor of Figueruelas, the arrival of these workers in the city. “You don’t have to get your hands to the head for this matter, it is a logical and normal process,” he explains to The Aragon newspaper. “Catl brings battery technology, which is also the best in the world market, and brings its machines and ways of working.” Without these workers it would not be the factory in motion although, yes, it is not said how long they are expected to maintain their work in the Aragonese town or if formations will be established to local workers. Other cases. Although striking, the case of Figueruelas is not exceptional either. Catl’s landing in Germany was similarwith investments that came from the hand of Chinese workers who could train local workers but, above all, they did Full performance What was lifting. Byd has worked similarly on his arrival in Hungary. And it is something that works in the two West-Oriente directions. Following the tariff war that the United States opened with all the countries of the world, the debate of Why Apple did not make its iPhone in the United States. Beyond costs, there was a simple reason: there is a lack of people formed. Photo | Stellantis and Catl In Xataka | Nissan pointed to the electric car as a future plan.

I have already tried the ‘mouse’ mode of Nintendo Switch 2. Open a door so far closed on consoles

by

In 2017, the First Nintendo Switch He arrived to revolutionize the way of playing. He did it with his concept of hybrid console, but also thanks to some controls that have established themselves as more versatile controls. It was something they had to maintain with Nintendo Switch 2and with the first trailer of the console, we saw that they could have given a twist to the controls. As? Turning the joy-with a mouse. Like those of a lifelong computer. This is not a tremendously new. In fact, Lenovo Legion Goa Consolidated PC That he drinks a lot of Nintendo Switch, he already had a way to turn his right command into a mouse thanks to an optical sensor. With Windows as an operating system, compatibility was total, but the doubt was to what extent the Nintendo Switch 2 mouse mode would be useful. After playing a few hours with the joy-with mouse, I have to tell you that they work really well and makes sense for certain gamesbut for Shooters, which are perhaps ideals for a mouse, it doesn’t convince me so much. And it will also depend a lot on the endurance of your hands. Turning the Joy-Con Nintendo Switch 2 is not a machine to do experiments. The 152 million switch soldand going up, they are a reflection that the company has achieved a product that people liked. They don’t need something groundbreaking As switch or Wii in your day, but a continuous console. But within that line, it is interesting to see that they have tried to take a step further apart from with power improvement. In the First Nintendo Switch 2 impressions After a day trying it I have already told that I like that the joy-with are larger, because it is easier to control games like ‘Doom‘ either ‘Wolfenstein‘With the sticks and fit better in the palm of the hand. And apart from size, a change comes with optical technology. In the area that joins the Joy-Con with the console, Nintendo has added an optical sensor that basically converts each command into a mouse. There are games that will be controlled with the two Joy-Con in this way, but I think the best uses will be those that convert Switch 2 into a kind of desktop PC. Image | Xataka And you don’t have to make strange configurations or anything to go from the wireless joy-with the joy-with mouse: the screen decouplas, you put it in a “vertical” position, supporting that sensor on a surface, and if you have previously configured it when configuring the console, a pointer appears automatically on the screen. Image | Xataka And ready, it’s like a mouse, with triggers serving as choice buttons. In the console box comes an addition that is an coupling for that area. The joy-with works as a mouse without it, but in this way you have a somewhat more slippery base, you protect the song of the joy-with of any element that is on the table and it may be suggestion, but I think it slides better. Good Gimmick technological or something useful? Let’s see it And the sensations playing with the Switch 2 mouse Launching, there are several games who take advantage of this mouse function. One is ‘Welcomo Tour’ that “minigame” (of 10 euros) that serves to know the entrails and characteristics of the console. There are some mini -games that allow us to explore that control mode and it is curious, but it does not happen. ‘Civilization VII‘It is also compatible With this way, but I could not try it. The one I have played (in any of its modes) is’Cyberpunk 2077‘. When we first executed it, the game tells us that it allows us to play in several ways. It is one of the most generous in this regard because it takes advantage of the accelerometer of the Joy-Con, in the mouse mode and the touch screen (well by CD Projakt there), and it really is the one that allows me to imagine what it will be like to play ‘Metroid Prime 4‘In this way. By default, the game control is through the ‘normal’ command, but in the configuration section, we can select that mouse mode. There are several configurations that we can do to play more comfortable in this regard and I have to say one thing: the sensor that Nintendo has placed in the Joy-with seems very good to me. Image | Xataka On a completely, flat surface, the answer is great, but on the couch, it works very well when sliding on the furniture fabric. With fine cloth shorts it is not going so well because the fabric wrinkles, but in jeans they are also quite precise. That is, if you play in the living room, you don’t have to look for a table or a flat surface: the control is necessary in another type of surface. The left joy-with (because I am right-handed, but having a sensor in both, left-handed ones can also play perfectly) serves to move the character and point, while the right controls the trigger of the weapon, ABXY buttons still have their predetermined actions And the right stick is a scroll bar. And, as I say, you play well: something straight at the beginning because the triggers are very sensitive and you can throw a grenade easily, it happened to me, but you get used to easy. Now, there is an ergonomics problem. In a conventional mouse (in a good one), the manufacturer has bothered to study anatomy to launch a device that can adapt to many arches differently. My partner John Tones already commented After trying switch a few weeks ago. Image | Xataka That does not happen in this case and the 20 minutes was already fatigued. In addition, as they continue to ask you to press buttons of that command for actions such as jumping, selecting or speaking, You always have the arched thumb of moreforcing a position that, … Read more

Five identical cyberbrains did not suffice for Carrefour to react. So they have fined it with 3.2 million euros

by

The Spanish Data Agency (AEPD) has imposed A fine of 3.2 million euros to Carrefour for alleged infractions of several articles of the RGPD. The surprising thing is not that, but the fact that these infractions were due not to a single cyber attack, but five … exactly the same. Security gaps. Carrefour notified to The AEPD up to five personal data security violations, all related to illegitimate access to customer accounts. The gaps occurred on January 13, January 20, January 24, April 18 and April 21, 2023. All with the same technique. Credential Stuffing. Everything indicates that these security gaps occurred when taking advantage of credential criminals (name, password) of Legitimate Employees of Carrefour who ended up filtering and managed to be obtained by the attackers, probably through Previous massive data robberies. Stolen data. Among the affected data They were name, surname, email, telephone number, DNI, physical address or customer passport number, in addition to information related to their interests, purchase trends and commercial preferences. Thousands of affected. The number of affected according to the AEPD was 118,895 unique accounts that the attacker could obtain personal information. According to Carrefour, the real affectation was much lower: the one that impacted the people’s integrity It was only 234 cases and the confidentiality of its data 973 cases. Several serious infractions. Carrefour recognized his responsibility for the alleged violation of article 34 of the GDPR (communication of the gaps to the affected people) but initially did not consider it “mandatory.” In addition, the AEPD concluded that Carrefour violated the principle of integrity and confidentiality (Article 5.1.F of the RFPD) by allowing illegitimate access to third parties of personal data. And lack of diligence. According to those responsible for AEPD, Carrefour did not have implanted the technical measures necessary to guarantee a level of safety appropriate to risk, but also accused it of lack of diligence. In Carrefour they ended up implementing the double authentication optionbut only since October 2023, when five security gaps had already been used. The fine, broken down. The total fine is 3.2 million euros, but it is actually composed of three concepts: Violation of the principle of integrity and confidentiality (very serious): two million euros Infringement of data processing (serious): one million euros Infringement for communication to interested parties (mild): 200,000 euros. Do not protect customer data is expensive. Iberdrola received an even greater than 6.5 million euros last year after being the victim of a cyber attack that Exposed the data of 850,000 clients. Before, in July 2021, the AEPD I fined 2.5 million euros to Mercadona For a violation of the privacy of the users: in this case, for a pilot of facial recognition that carried out months before and that laid a precedent for this type of systems. With this data, a threat: identity supplaments. Whenever customer data is stolen, there is a clear threat: that they are used to supplant the identity of those customers. With these data it is possible to configure custom and directed scams, much more credible and dangerous for the victims. The other immediate risk is that cybercounts use these credentials to try to steal accounts in all types of services, hence the importance of Do not use the same password on different platforms.

Xiaomi surprised the world with his own mobile chip. The next step is to replicate this success in your electric car

by

Xiaomi creating its own chips by the hand of TSMC It is something that we did not see in 2025 in which China’s greatest obsession is to boost 100% national technology. The company, in a movement to reduce dependence with Qualcomm and MediaTek Without breaking the ties that still tied to the United States, he presented his Xring 01. A chip capable of competing with the best in the market, thanks to both TSMC technology and its innovative design. The company has confirmed to be locking in its own chip for its future electric cars. It is one of the last pieces that the company needs to close the circle and not depend on companies such as NVIDIA or Qualcomm. The beginning of an era. Xring 01 is a before and after for Xiaomi. It is the first time that it manages to design a processor at the height of the best in the market, improving proposals such as the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite. Most of this TSMC baby success, who has manufactured this hand processor with Xiaomi. But its architecture is peculiar: it is the only high -end processor with a design composed of ten nuclei, and a distribution of workloads much more efficient than most current processors. Three chips, at least. Xring is the mobile processor, the Xring T1 It is the chip for watches, and Xiaomi has confirmed being working on a third processor for electric cars. The recent launch of your SUV, the Yu7came from the hand of Nvidia and Qualcomm, something that could change completely in the next generation of vehicles. Why there is a Qualcomm chip in the SU7. If you wonder what paint a Nvidia chip and a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 In Xiaomi cars the answer is easy: electric cars, today, They are computers with wheels. Yu7 is one of the cars with the largest infotainment system in the world: one in which the windshield is a giant screen. Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 is responsible for moving HyperosXiaomi’s own software platform. Why there is a nvidia chip in Yu7. The central screen is just a small example of the computing capacity that an electric car needs. Assisted driving systems, Lidar data processing, radars and cameras, are in charge of the Autonomous Driving Platform Nvidia Drive Agx Thor. This software solution allows to manage high work loads with maximum energy efficiency, and is currently the most capable in terms of computing aboard a vehicle. A discreet approach. Xiaomi has not revealed data about whether you are preparing an adaptation of the Xring 01 to electric cars or if the goal is more ambitious and seeks to create its own complete hardware platform. The company has TSMC as an ally, but the design runs on its side. Competing to lead on platforms for new mobility is the next step for a Xiaomi that aspires to conquer almost all of the technological product categories. There Huawei has special advantage with Your Driveone platformone that gives life to Chinese vehicles like the Luxeed S7 or Aito’s latest proposals, such as the M5 and M7. The limitations. The United States Department of Commerce has tried to advise China, urging its national EDA software companies (electronic design automation software) to stop selling your products to your rivals. This software is key to the development of new lithographic processes, and one of the keys to lead the next generation of 2 Nm. Consequently, giants such as Xiaomi will have it complicated to continue improving the design of their chips. As much as TSMC is the one who manufactures them, falls into their hands to design their architecture. The current competitiveness of this chip resides largely in Your 3nm nodewhile China struggles to achieve ability to Manufacture 5 Nm national chips. There is a strong national movement in China to overcome this limitation and boost an EDA industry within the country. It is something that will end up happening, although not in the immediate future. Xiaomi’s great opportunity. Shanghai Xuanjie Technologies, the Xiaomi chips design subsidiary led by former Qualcomm and Ex Unisoc, is an important threat to the United States, with and without TSMC within the equation. The division has shown that, with the necessary tools, the design quality in Xiaomi semiconductors is up to the best. And there are the keys. How much will take advantage of that they can still collaborate with TSMC, and how much of a Xiaomi preparing its complete independence from the United States and seeking to be as competitive as Huawei on platforms for the car of the future.
