that we have become accustomed to it

This weekend some other Spanish Internet user tried to access the website of Linux Mint to download this Linux distribution. What was found was a notice from LaLiga indicating that “access to this IP address has been blocked.” That site is totally legitimate and has still been part of LaLiga’s massive IP blocks, but the bad thing, in fact, is no longer just that. An everyday tragedy. It was not the first time that the Linux Mint website ended up inaccessible due to indiscriminate blockages ordered by LaLiga. Users of this distribution They already commented on it in their forum in October 2025, and a similar debate appeared on Reddit and also in Forocoches during the month of December. The fatigue was evident, and it was clear that it was not the first time that this website was blocked… and it will not be the last either. An absolute tragedy. Spain has been involved in this situation for months now. Since February 2025 blockades will beginthe situation has not only been resolved, but has worsened. Every weekend – and often, a good part of the week if there is football in international competitions – the blockades and protests are repeated. situations that hijack the internet. First of all, to the users, who cannot normally access thousands of pages. Secondly, to the creators of these pages, individual users or companies, most of them legitimatewho cannot offer their content, products and services as they should and therefore they end up with economic and reputational losses. LaLiga has managed to get us used to this nonsense. LaLiga’s obsession has caused these measures to be repeated indiscriminately except in the summer, when there is no official competition. Such is the insistence that these blockades have become something routine and everyday: they seem normal to us, and that is terrible and tragic. Constant nightmare. Despite this, social networks continue to serve as the most visible means of reporting this activity. In X, for example, messages with the hashtag #laligagate are frequent every weekend. They usually show new blocked websites that are completely legitimate and that again and again end up being inaccessible for hours. What those affected can do. The website LaLigaGatewhich arose as a result of this problem, is reporting some new developments in the fight against these blockages. But it is RootedCON that continues to try the most to put legal mechanisms in place to combat this situation. They have recently collaborated with LaLigaGate to make available to those affected a template to report these blocks. Infiltrated in Forocoches. As they point out in VozPopuliLaLiga’s crusade against unauthorized broadcasts of football matches is causing disturbing actions. One of the latest, the “infiltration” of LaLiga in Forocoches to try to detect the links to those broadcasts that are shared in this forum and then knock them down with IP blocking orders. The next goal: VPNs. The massive blocking of IPs only affects Internet users with a Spanish IP, and that means there is a relatively simple solution to get around them: use VPN services to simulate that our IP belongs to another country and can therefore access the blocked IPs. The president of LaLiga, Javier Tebas, attended a breakfast with media and there he explained that “we will soon announce an important resolution on the VPN issue that we have achieved.” In Xataka | Cloudflare is planted in Italy due to blockades. In Spain, the conflict with LaLiga points to the same underlying problem

Word accustomed us to press control + s to save files. The automatic save comes willing to impose its own rule

One of the most entrenched habits among whom we use Word is to ensure save the document as soon asand not only that: also that it is in an easy to remember location to recover it later. For many that translates into clicking control + s (or control + g) or clicking on the mythical 3½ -inch floppy icon, that the new generations are barely identified. But things are changing in the most famous text processor. Tell the Automatic Guardian Microsoft wants Word to definitely hug automatic saving in the cloud. In practice, this means that the next time we believe a document, It will be generated automatically in OneDrive or in any other service that we have configured as default. Instead of using the first fragment of the text as a name, as is the case now, Word will apply a format of the “Document + Date” type. For example, if we create one today, it will be called “Document 28-08-2025”. Of course, the user can change that name at any time or even discard the document completely. When closing it, Word will show a Emerging window asking if we want to rename it, keep it or eliminate it. The experience is quite similar to that already offered by Google Docs or the own Word online: Documents that are created and automatically stored in Google Drive or OneDrive, without the need to do anything else. And it is no accident. Microsoft’s commitment to functions such as this not only seeks to improve the experience, also tries to maintain the relevance of Word and the Office ecosystem in an increasingly competitive environment. How a statista analysis points out, Google Workspace has managed to consolidate as a powerful alternativeboth for private users and for educational and business environments. Although Word and Office continue to lead the world office of office suites, with more than 45% share, Google products have won a solid position. The change, however, has not been well received throughout the world. On the advertisement page, Some users have left comments of the style: “I do not understand the logic of this function“Or” You have no idea how your customers use Word. “ Although the function will reach all users in the future, for now it is only available for members of the Insider program. And it will not be mandatory. Microsoft will allow you to return to the traditional system. As detailed by the company, the new Word settings will allow you to choose the cloud storage supplier by defaultNot only OneDrive. You can also deactivate automatic save and save documents directly at home. From Redmond they argue that this novelty responds to a matter of security and comfort. Avoid file loss and facilitate access from any device thanks to the cloud. Beyond the concrete changes, what is at stake is somewhat greater. Word has been among us for more than 40 years and has been part of Office’s hard nucleus since its inception. But today competes in a scenario where he is no longer the only reference. There are more options, with different use philosophies, and many of them advance quickly. Images | Microsoft In Xataka | Microsoft has put co -pilot in Excel. And you have also notified that you do not use it if you need the results to be correct
