How to accelerate Chrome downloads by activating the secret parallel download option

by

Let’s tell you How to accelerate Chrome downloads activating the hidden option of parallel discharges. By default, Chrome makes a connection with the download server of the discharge to lower the file, but this option makes several connections, each lowering a part of the file, and then unites them once they are downloaded. In most cases, having several connections with the same server this can make The whole set is notably fasterespecially in the event that they are large files. To activate it you will need to access the Chrome flags and look for this option. Activate Chrome’s parallel downloads The first thing you have to do is open a new tab and write chrome: // flags In the address bar. When you do Enter and you will enter a special page. Within the Flags page, which are Chrome hidden and experimental options, Look for the option of PARALLEL Downloading. For that you can use the search engine you have above all. To the right of PARALLEL DOWNLADING And your description you have a picture. Click on him and Choose the option Enabled To activate it. Once you do, Chrome will tell you that you have to restart it to activate the function. Do it and that’s it.

Ukraine has turned drones into armed soldiers against Russia. It is no longer necessary to “sacrifice them” because they carry launched

by

That the war in Ukraine has become the largest field of technologies and war artillery. out of any doubt. However, if you had to name a single protagonist, that would be the use of drones as “animals” of Combat for everything. The Ukrainian country, in fact, has become one of the Great industries of the planet in the sector developing many of the most advanced (and important, economic) prototypes to date. The latest: turn drones into authentic soldiers of the future holding launched in flight. Aerreo launches. As we said, Ukraine has reached a new mile With a launchersuch and As he revealed The Ukrainian company Wild Hornets, specialized in military technology. The images, disseminated by the company itself in Your telegram channelThey show what they describe as the “exclusive death” of a Russian soldier reached by one of these devices on the Novopavlivka front. The attack was carried out by the Bulava Unit of the separate presidential brigade, and they did it by adapting their drone “Queen of Hornets”(A heavy model usually designed for bombings) to carry and shoot a precision grooved from the air. The operation, in addition to having tactical success, served as proof of concept and exhibition of the modified design, whose stability when triggering resolved one of the main technical obstacles: the recoil. Mortal precision. After the videos and the exclusive, Diego RodríguezRecognition drone operator in the body of unmanned systems, He expressed his astonishment Because this technology has not been implemented before, underlining its technical superiority against Kamikaze drones. In the expert’s opinion, the throws from drones allow faster, accurate and silent attacks, since Granada rounds fly faster and more reaching, reducing the enemy’s reaction margin and exposure to electronic countermeasures. The reason? The drone can shoot, retreat and recharge, multiplying its usefulness Without losing unity In the attack. Faced with the traditional explosive drones that emit noise and give the enemy time to protect themselves, the granades projected from the air arrive almost instantaneously, making them impossible to dodge them. Without anticipation. Another expert, in this case Vadym Feshchenkoex grenadier converted in drone operator, stressed that this innovation completely alters the defensive habits of the enemy. Russian troops have learned to observe the movements of drones to anticipate when they will release their explosive load, but a drone that shoots in full flight eliminates that reaction window. Feshchenko also highlighted the weapons versatility employee, pointing out that some modern launch projectiles have the capacity to drill up to seven centimeters of armorwhich expands its applicability against fortified vehicles and positions. As these systems multiply, it is likely that the simple sound of a drone forces enemy soldiers to retire or hide, increasing the psychological and tactical impact of the device, also as a deterrence In full fray. From standard prototype. That said, what we see is an evolution. In September 2024 already Videos circulated of tests where Ukrainian FPV drones carried RPG-18 launches. While then rudimentary prototypes were considered, their possibilities were already evident. As counted in Ukrainian media, a collateral advantage of this system is Risk decrease For technicians and engineers who must manually assemble kamikaze drones, exposing themselves to injuries that are rarely made public. In this regard, the partial automation that allows an armed and reusable drone represents a step forward in terms of operational security. Adaptive Engineering They remembered in Insider That although the first use in combat has been attributed to Ukraine, the idea of ​​mounting launched in drones had already been proposed in 2021 through the Display Belarusian Design Cabinet during a Russian military exhibition. The most complex technical challenge was drone stability When shooting, since most quadcopters are too light to support the backward. However, The “Queen of Hornets”due to its size and reinforced design, it seems to have resolved this obstacle: in the Video widespreadno instability is observed after the shot. In parallel, Ukrainian engineers have managed to convert even agricultural drones such as the DJI AGRAS T30 (originally designed for fumigation) on attack platforms, equipping them with PKM machine guns and launched Bullspike-Atcapable of attacking tanks, self -propelled artillery and fortified positions. A radical transformation. As we told at the beginning, the war in Ukraine is changing many of the war concepts that were in the battles of the past. But above any other actor, the introduction Drone successnow even shooting grenades from airmarks a before and after in the development of the technological war. While traditional artillery and heavy weapons continue to play an important role, the miniaturization of fire power and its integration into reusable and precise drones represents a strategic advance that combines efficiency, lethality and operational economy. The question now is not whether this technology will be extended, but rather how fast Ukraine can produce it in mass and how Russia will respond to a threat that becomes increasingly silent, unpredictable and difficult to stop.

Google has been angry to redesign Android 16 completely. It won’t serve much

by

With Android 16Google operating system lovers are congratulations. This version will be one of the biggest changes in design in the history of Android, with the arrival of Material 3 Expressive as New language for UI. As usual, Google showed in the Pixel How the new interface would behave. The problem? The Pixel are the exception, not the rule. Material 3 Expressive. In case you had lost it, earlier this week Google advanced one of the greatest novelties that will arrive with Android 16. It is material 3 Expressive, the greater design update in the operating system in years. It is the natural jump after Youand it is both changes in Google’s native applications and system changes: adjustments, icons, animations … practically everything will be refined with the new design language. Pixel First. As usual, having a pixel will result in being the first to enjoy this design change. The first beta is expected to arrive this month, expressing material 3 expressive and that, As of Junethe stable versions begin to arrive. For the rest of the manufacturers, as usual … everything falls on their roof. Android fragmentation remains an absolute disaster, So we do not expect Android 16 in the high range until the end of this year or early 2025. Hopefully. Magic The usual problem. Beyond the problem with fragmentation, the problem is that Google’s demands so that manufacturers respect their design lines are not too strict. In fact, there are numerous layers that look more like iOS than what Google proposes with the Pixel. With material 3 Expressive two problems arrive. The first is that Google apps will change, and a lot. If manufacturers do not follow these design lines (something they have been doing for years), we will continue to have the huge inconsistencies in interface that Android has been dragging for years. Second, the same thing happens with the system itself. Little or nothing serves that Google works to unify the design of Android, Wearos, Android Auto and even Android XR, if manufacturers do what they want with their layers. No solution at the sight. Android, despite the changes he has suffered in recent years, is still an open source system. The Guidelines They force certain minimums, but not to follow the design guidelines they mark. The manufacturer can use the UI framework that I wanted, something that ends completely with the visual coherence of the system. Android diversity is one of its forts, but there are layers anchored in designs for years (some have practically the same interface in their apps for more than three years) is a symptom of a problem: giving freedom is incompatible with a consistent ecosystem.

We thought we had found a safe and sustainable alternative to oil derived. We have to keep looking

by

Many years ago, long before “Do you want a bag?” and The new European plugsI got a small summer job distributing potato starch bags by Media Granada. The world had begun to account for the huge problem of plastic bags and prepared to The day later. In that sense, the potato starch was an extraordinary thing. First, because it was ridiculous, extravagant and left everyone out of play (a bag of what?); But above all because starch -based bioplastic seemed like a much more sustainable and renewable material. The issue is that we begin to discover that they have problems. What is a starch -based bioplastic …? Because, although potato bags will always be in our hearts, the true revolution of this family of products occurred when They reached the world of the container for food, disposable utensils, films to cover or even single -use medical products. … And why are they a problem? A newly published study in it Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry He has just shown how “animals that consume particles of this alternative material develop health problems such as liver damage and imbalances in intestinal microbioma.” That is, by Use the exact words of the authors of this study“Biodegradable plastics based on starch may not be as safe or beneficial for health as originally supposed.” Eat plastic. The researchers They compared three groups of five mice: a group (control) consumed normal feed; The other two groups that consumed foods with particles derived from the ‘biodegradation’ of starch -based microplastics. There are two because each one had a dose (low and high) calculated and climbing from the planned daily consumption for a normal human being. They monitored them, studied them and there the problems began. What did they find? In the mice that consumed high doses of bioplastics They presented Damaged organs (including liver and ovaries), problems when handling glucose and even deregulated genetic pathways. “Prolonged exposure to low dose of starch -based microplastics can cause a broad spectrum of health impacts, in particular the alteration of circadian rhythms and the alteration of glucose metabolism and lipids,” explained in the American Society of Chemistry Yongfeng Dengmain author of the study. Should we worry? Well yes and no. Obviously, the results of the investigation are peliagudos, but not alarming in excess. Actually, if confirmed, the results are very similar to those of conventional plastics. In addition, the study is small and the investigation is in a very initial phase. To put it in a summary way: we still do not know how much there are in these results. There is much to work, investigate and regulate. And, deep down, the most interesting thing about this work is not its provisional results. It is the need not to give anything for granted and take care of the movements that we are doing in the development of new materials. It is, in short, a reminder that everything remains to be done.

Old, without maintaining and without ITV. One in four motorcycles in Spain is a disaster for road safety

by

Near one in four motorcycles of less than 25 years circulate without the Technical Inspection of Vehicles (ITV) in force, according to figures published by the DGT and collected by Motorpasionmoto. Being more precise, 23.3% of registered motorcycles circulate on the roads without having passed through the ITV. The worst news? The data falls short: not even all motorcycles are represented in that percentage. ITV are the parents. According to Spanish ITV data about 25% of motorcycles circulate without ITV in our country. This fact only refers to those with an age of less than 25 years. All those that have a higher age are not reflected within statistics. These are precisely the ones that represent the greatest risk, due to possible wear of their consumables and lack of maintenance. According to Guillermo Magaz, director of AECA-ITV, the old vehicles are the ones that most breached the corresponding reviews. An aged park. 16.9 years. This is the Middle Ages of the Motorcycle Park in Spain. It is a figure even higher than that of The age of cars in our countryalthough with a certain sense given the two NATURALS OF THE MOTORCYCLE: A vehicle to move from A a B as economical as possible or a simple vehicle bought by pure leisure. The consequences. In 2024 the number of deaths in Moto amounted to 289, higher figure from 2015 records. Beyond the relationship between a well maintained vehicle and their safety, there is a key fact to take into account: insurers do not have to cover a single expense if the vehicle has not passed the ITV. In case of an accident, without the inspection in force, the insurer has no legal obligation to cover the expense. The fines. The DGT fight with vehicles without ITV does not cease. It is a practice that can lead up to 500 euros of a fine, depending on the case. Circular without ITV: 200 euros, 100 euros with soon payment. Circular with unfavorable ITV: 200 euros, 100 euros with soon payment. Circular with negative ITV: 500 euros and vehicle immobilization, 250 euros soon payment. It is a problem of approach: it is cheaper circular without ITV than to circulate with a negative ITV vehicle (to which they have thrown back in the ITFV). The DGT He has been asking for years That insurers check if the ITV is in force when securing and renewing, although they have not been too successful. Meanwhile. In the absence of ITV, good security measures are good. The airbag It will become mandatory in driving examsonly the use of Integral Helmet on the roadand the validations of the card B to drive 125cc motorcycles They have ended.

There are up to 2.8 billion at stake

by

“We are here because the data is overwhelming and alarming, since there is an unjustified lag of more than two euros per kilo between the real price at the origin of olive oil (3.5 euros per kilo) and the value it should have (5.55 euros per kilo).” They are the words of Miguel PadillaSecretary General of Coordinator of Agricultural and Livestock Organizations (COAG). They said on Tuesday by presenting in front of the National Markets Commission and the competition to file a formal complaint to what seems like a manipulation of the olive oil market. Market manipulation? We have been counting it. For months, the spokesmen of the Spanish olivers They have denouncing that something weird happened with the price of oil at source. The reality is that, in terms of contribution, this market is very “simple.” With logical variations according to the situation of the moment, the price of oil is an extremely predictable fact: it depends almost exclusively on the stocks there. And that the problem, which the price that the liter of oil is much lower than what it would have to be. In -depth investigation. Concerned about this anomaly, the Provincial Council of Olive Oil of the Provincial Council of Jaén requested a detailed report to a group of researchers from the University of Jaén, the University of Córdoba and the Institute for Agricultural and Fisheries Research and Training. Your conclusions They were crystalline: That mismatch not only existed, but it was much larger than the first estimates said. Are we facing a crime? The artificial alteration of the prices of origin of olive oil is of course illegal according to the Law of Defense of Competition. In fact, to demonstrate, it would be a serious infraction. For now, yes, only indications have been verified that the market is not working correctly (losses of up to 2.8 billion) are estimated, but the next step is more complicated. And need authorities to take action on the matter. Because although it is expressly prohibited for companies to reach agreements in order to restrict or falsify the competition, prove it is not easy. A symptom of a chronic disease: the inability to be able to make strategic decisions that ensure the future of the olive grove and the good condition of a strategic sector that industrially vertebra A territory already very touched by the olive tree, depopulation and lack of opportunities. As we have been saying weeks, in the coming months, Spain You will control The global marketing of olive oil and will not help you. It is worth remembering that we talk about a sector that, despite growing 15% a year, will see how more than 500 oil mills will close in the next decade. Not only that, it is worth remembering that we talk about a sector that, despite its feeling of leadership and solidity, is crossed by the same problems than the rest of Spanish agriculture. With all that means that. Image | Miguel Masegosa In Xataka | The great paradox of Spanish olive oil: although it grows 15% per year, more than 500 oil mill will close in the next decade

Mediumkt launches a new Apple Days with minimum historical prices of the store. iPhone, Macbook, iPad and much more on offer

by

Mediumkt has renewed the Apple Daysa campaign centered on offers of devices from Cupertino. There is enough to choose from and many minimum historical prices of the store. In this article we will review its different categories focusing on the best prices. Of course, first of all it is worth mentioning that the campaign will end on May 21 at 09:00 hours. Mac Mini M4 by 629 eurosthe best price we have seen in the store to date in a team that already had a good value for money without being offer. iPhone 16 Pro by 1,049 eurosa much more tight price for one of the best mobiles of the Apple catalog. iPad Air (2025) by 649 eurosa good offer in the iPad Air that has been released this year. iPhone 15 by 709 eurosan ideal price if we are looking for an economic Apple mobile other than the 16E iPhone. MacBook Pro M4 Pro by 2,099 eurosa more tight price for one of Apple’s best laptops. Mac Mini M4 He Mac Mini M4 It is one of the devices with better value for money within the Apple catalog. In recent months we have seen it go down price, but not as much as in the Apple Days of Mediamarkt. Is on offer for 629 euros in its configuration of 256 GB of internal storage (SSD) and 16 GB of unified memory. Apple’s computer stands out in many aspects, but the most striking is its mini format – it is the computer I have and fits in the palm of my hand. Nor does any noise and their M4 chip It offers excellent performance. In addition, it is compatible with Apple Intelligence and includes a total of five ports Thunderbolt. * Some price may have changed from the last review iPhone 16 Pro If we talk about Apple’s mobile catalog, the iPhone 16 Pro It is one of the best, especially if we can also find it at a good price. Although since its launch we have seen it for a fairly expensive price, in the Apple Days it can be found by 1,049 euros (before 1,219 euros) in its configuration of 128 GB. He iPhone 16 Pro It is a high -end mobile that It highlights, above all, for its camerathat weights not to evolve too much with respect to the previous generation continues to offer great experience. In addition, it includes the new camera control buttoncomes with him Chip A18 Pro Apple and is also compatible with Apple Intelligence. * Some price may have changed from the last review iPad Air (2025) In Apple Days we can also find some offers in the field of iPad. One of the best offers is in the iPad Air (2025) That was launched this year. If we choose the configuration of 128 GB, it stays for 649 euros instead of the official price of 699 euros. He iPad Air (2025) that we find offer in Mediamarkt is the one that has been launched this year. Includes a screen 11 -inch IPS Liquid Retina And it comes with him M3 chipso it is also compatible with Apple Intelligence. In addition, it is worth mentioning that thanks to this chip we are faced with a quite powerful iPad. iPad Air (2025, 128 GB, M3, 11 inches) * Some price may have changed from the last review iPhone 15 If the prices of the mobiles of the current Apple generation do not convince us – and neither the benefits of the iPhone 16E-, a good way to make the leap to the Apple catalog is with the iPhone 15. It is still being marketed in many stores and Mediamarkt, during its campaign, it has it for offer for 709 euros In its 128 GB configuration. He iPhone 15 It is a high -end mobile that, despite not being of the current generation, continues to offer good performance thanks to Chip A16 Bionic. Of course, it is not compatible with Apple Intelligence. It stands out, among many other things, for its compact screen Super Retina XDR OLED of 6.1 inches and for their cameras. * Some price may have changed from the last review MacBook Pro M4 Pro If we are looking for portability, and not so much a desktop computer such as the MAC Mini M4, Apple has a good assortment of laptops. If, in addition, we are looking for a lot of power, the MacBook Pro with M4 Pro chip Now it has dropped in price during Apple Days. It still has a high price, but also a good discount that leaves it for 2,099 euros.

There was a day that the bird was synonymous with punctuality. May chaos demonstrates to what extent is the past thing

Delays Delays More delays. And full stations, trains thrown by exasperated roads and passengers. The last month on the Spanish railroad has been especially bad and, in addition, he has assaulted at high speed which, until now, seemed a safe space for expected delays and inconveniences. An alternative. Since 2023, the government has been trying to position the train as the best alternative to the car. A year and a half agothe Executive proposed solutions to end short flights and prioritize the use of the train. That same year, given the increase in life as a result of the Ukraine War, the Government promoted its Public transport aidwhere trains had a leading role with Free fertilizers even. He wanted to take advantage to sell the benefits of this means of transport in the day to day and also, why not, as a tool to travel on vacation. Until this year, The aid has remained active. “Decades”. “The succession of technical incidents have plunged the rail service in a lack of unknown reliability in decades.” This is the first phrase of last statement from the OCU in which reference is made to the measures to be taken if you have been one of those affected by the delays and cancellations that have been experienced in the Spanish railroad in recent weeks. “The days when Renfe returned the amount of the AVE passage to arrive five or 15 minutes afternoons have been far behind and the repetition of incidents have progressively deteriorates the reliability of a service that, once, was exemplary,” they emphasize in the text. “Five or 15 minutes late”. It is no accident that in the OCU they refer to those “five or 15 minutes late.” In June last yearRenfe hardened the conditions to return money to users. Until then, arriving with a delay of 15 minutes allowed to receive 50% of the ticket. If the wait was greater than 30 minutes, the passenger received 100% of the ticket price. That is over. Since July 1, 2024, in AVE, Avlo, Alvia, Euromed and Interity Renfe only returns 100% of the ticket if the delay is more than 90 minutes. And until the delay does not exceed travel time the passenger does not receive at least 50% of the ticket price. It was the confirmation that The punctuality in Renfe was already a thing of the past. Its impact. We collected in Xataka That, in 2023, Renfe already had to pay 42 million euros, According to FACUA data. An amount that I could have ascended up to almost 70 million euros if all affected users had requested compensation. At the moment, there is no data on what has been the amount of last year and how this new policy of commitment to the traveler has affected in the second half of the year. Awful. It is the word that best defines Renfe’s last 15 days but could be extended further back. The difference is that in the last 15 days, delays, cancellations and collapsed stations have been more common than ever. On April 28, of course, the national blackout left all the trains that were circulating inoperative. More than a day later, Three of them remained disappeared. Days later, Copper theft in four points of the Madrid-Sevilla line and an incident of An Iroo train with a catenary caused chaos in the high speed line. More than 16,000 passengers were affected. Óscar Puente, Minister of Transportation, said that copper theft was not the ultimate goal and that the action hid a “Severe act of sabotage”. Doubts were also raised about the Iroo train incident. After ensuring that it was the train that broke the catenary, from the company they claim that This was already broken when the train passed by. More firewood. Last Sunday, incidents in the Madrid-Sevilla line were repeated again. Again, eight trains were affected by what long delays were lived throughout the afternoon. The first one was the most affected, arriving 144 minutes late in Madrid (from Seville) compared to the scheduled time. Given this situation, the OCU has launched the aforementioned statement and has indicated that companies are obliged to meet the following demands: Information as soon as possible. Refreshments from 60 minutes of delay, in quantity appropriate to the duration of the waiting. Accommodation if you have to spend the night. The power to choose whether you continue the trip by an alternative route or if you give up. Refund of the ticket price in case of giving up the alternative route. And they emphasize that the only cases in which the ticket price is not returned are the following: It was notified of the delay before buying the ticket. Alternative transport was taken and the destination was reached with a delay less than one hour. The delay is due to extraordinary circumstances. “Are there incidents? Yes”. “And I apologize but talking about rail chaos is a hyperbole.” With these words Álvaro Fernández Heredia defends, President of Renfe, of whom they ask that his position cease as a result of the delays lived in the last two weeks. According to Fernández Heredia, “two perfect storms come together: the effect of having abandoned the rail for 10 years more actions derived from the entire investment effort,” in an interview with 20 minutes. And he emphasizes that “this Sunday there were seven trains affected and more than 95,000 travelers who were not affected, who were arriving at the time.” Punctual? This is how they look in Renfe. On the occasion of the controversy for hardening the conditions when returning a ticket, from Renfe they published data related to punctuality. According to these, 87% of the AVE arrive in time and the figure grows to 91.5% when we talk about the Cercanías service. Despite this, out of high speed, today they have lived Importance delays in Catalonia. In less than a week, they have been experienced in the vicinity of Madrid or of the the Basque Country.

Bie million years ago symbiosis between two cells created a new kingdom in nature. We are trying to replicate the meeting

by

About one billion years ago an event happened that would change our planet forever. It was not the first time that an event of this Tupo was happening, in fact, when something similar happened millions of years before, the ban was opened to the appearance of complex life on earth. This time it was the time of the plants. All because one cell managed to swallow another. 1+1 = 1. A team of researchers He is trying to recreate In a laboratory the conditions that gave rise to the appearance of the unicellular organisms of which all past and present plants evolved. The project, baptized as 1+1 = 1, has an objective that goes beyond the study of the evolution of these organisms, could give rise to new tools to use both in biotechnology and medicine. A first radical change. To better understand the experiment, we must return to these two key moments in the evolutionary history of the Earth’s Vira. The first of the events that would mark these changes took about 2,000 million years ago, although the estimates vary. This change occurred when a simple, prokaryotic cell, swallowed another and turned it to its organelle. The engulmed cell had the ability to produce energy from chemical compounds, which became a useful tool for the “host” cell, which made it its private energy center, The mitochondria. Having such a source of energy was what allowed this cell to evolve, generate an independent nucleus and then give rise to complex life. Second act. About a billion years after the appearance of the first eukaryotic cells, the story was repeated again: one cell swallowed another and turned it into something of its own, another organelle. On this occasion, the swallowed cell was cyanobacteria, an organism capable of performing photosynthesis. When integrating into a eukaryotic cell, cyanobacteria went to become a chloroplastallowing his guest to enjoy the advantages of photosynthesis. This change gave way to a new kingdom of life, that of plants. From symbiosis to total union. The integration process between cells was slowly surely: first individual cells would have become a symbiotic relationship. A relationship that, over the years (millions, perhaps) would give rise to total integration. Replicate the process From beginning to end in laboratory it may not be feasible, so the work focuses on the first steps, in creating a “synthetic symbiosis” that allows us to investigate the processes that gave rise to the formation of complex cells. The team responsible for this project wants to observe the process closely, Replicating this synthetic relationship between two organisms in controlled conditions. The chosen microorganisms are a bacteria, Burstar Parameciumand a unicellular algae, Chlorella vulgaris. The relationship they seek to replicate the nature symbiosis, in which the bacteria acts as a algae host. New tools. To carry out the experiment, the team turned to microchips designed specifically for this, which allow studying cells closely maintaining control of light, temperature and nutrient availability in these cells. To “force” symbiosis, the team put the bacteria under stressful conditions and studied interactions with the other organism involved. Methodological details can be consulted In an article Posted in the magazine Lab on a chip. More common than it seems. We have proof of two occasions in which these advanced symbiosis changed the course of life, but the relationships between unicellular organisms that give rise to endosimbiosis do not seem to be something strange. In recent years We have seen similar cases discovered in nature, for example The case of the algae Braarudosphaera Bigelowiiwhich absorbed a newly discovered cyanobacteria called UCYN-A.
