The four -day workday has found an unexpected ally in Moscow: the Ukraine War

by

The conflict in Ukraine continues to reconfigure not only Geopolitics and the European Budgetsbut it will also change the working day of thousands of Russian workers. Avtovaz, one of Russia’s biggest car manufacturers, has announced that it will apply the four -day work week As of September. According to The published by Reutersthis is not a measure oriented to Improve productivity or reduce the stress levels of its workers, but adopts this measure in the middle of a strong fall in vehicle sales, a crisis of consumption due to the wear of the invasion of Ukraine and a growing pressure of exports of Chinese cars. Russia does not sell cars. Avtovaz, is the manufacturer of the acquaintances Lada. After the first months of the Ukraine War, the Russian Automobile Industry lived a brief increase in defense expense and state subsidies. However, according to data from Reutersthis situation has begun to revert quickly. Avtovaz explained through a statement sent to Russian media that their sales fell 25% in the first semester, with only 155,481 units sold, and estimates that this will be the tendency for the entire source year. Avtovaz is not the only one to consider the four -day work week as a measure for shock the crisis of the sector. According to The local pressthe Russian manufacturer Gaz (Gorkovski Avtomobilny Zavod) will also apply the four -day week on his Gorki plant, for the same reasons that Avtovaz argued. Russia’s own Minister of Economy, Maxim Reschetnikov, He warned in June that the country “is on the verge of entering recession.” Avtovaz, as a reflection of this crisis, wants to use the letter of reduction of the work week as a way of maintaining employment without increasing the number of layoffs in difficult times. No money to make them or to buy them. According to published The Moscow Times“The final decision on the introduction of a reduced work week of four days will be taken based on the results of an analysis of market trends and economic factors, including the level of the key interest rate and the availability of credit products,” said the manufacturer’s statement. The main reason that has uncontrolled this crisis (in addition to being a derivative of the conflict in Ukraine), has been the increase in interest rates, which slows so much production Like consumption. “We are talking about a high key rate and more severe demands by the regulator for those facilitating cars loans,” Avtovaz explained in his statement collected. The impact of high types not only feels Avtovaz. The Russian giant of the Seversal Steel, pointed outthat “the high basic rate and low prices” were responsible for a 55% drop in their benefits in the second quarter of the source year. That is, as I know money is expensivecompanies lose profitability and citizens purchasing power to buy cars that are manufactured, generating a chain effect that complicates economic recovery. Chinese cars are unstoppable. To the already complicated economic crisis of the automobile sector worldwide, the massive emergence of imported cars from China is added, which sell their products at such low prices that Avtovaz directly accuses a “price dumping policy.” According to company sources these marches, mostly Chinese, are increasing the market pressure with very small prices to give out more than 400,000 cars that these importers have stored in their dealers and have not yet sold. Gaz starts already, Avtovaz leaves it for September. Russian Fuentes assure that Gorki de Gaz’s factory will implement the four -day work week immediately. From July 21 to August 3, the employees of this plant will enjoy their vacations normally. During this period, several divisions of the plant will continue to operate according to their work schedule. Once they finish, the four -day work week will be implemented at least until the end of August. Avtovaz indicates that it is still analyzing the way to implement the measure, so it will enter into force for September in the factory that the company has in Togliatti, in which one in 20 inhabitants of this city works. You know what it is to work four days. Although it is not done for the reasons for productivity and well -being improvement That this model of day is usually applied, this is not the first time that Avtovaz resorts to the reduced working day to deal with a crisis. In 2022, just after the imposition of First international sanctions To Russia for the invasion of Ukraine, the company implemented a four -day work week for three months. During that same year, the sales of its flagship model, the Lada, fell 48.2%, until 174,688 units, according to data publishedby The New Voice of Ukraine. On that occasion, four -day work week served to maintain a certain level of production In an adverse scenario. Today, three years later, economic conditions remain equally complicated, so companies re -apply the same recipe.

LaLiga has found the best way to beat Cloudflare: ally with its competition

by

LaLiga carries months at war with Cloudflare. Avoid the illegal emissions From soccer matches via services IPTV has led LaLiga to launch the controversial and criticized IPS indiscriminate blocks series. In that battle, however, LaLiga has ended up launching an unique offensive. The enemy of my enemy is my friend. What LaLiga has done is basically ally with several of Cloudflare competitorsthat have become entities that do present to specifically block domains that are violating the audiovisual rights that they try to protect LaLiga. Vercel, the great prominent. The case of Vercel is paradigmatic. On April 15, in full IPS block fever, the CTO de Vercel, Malte UBL, He published an article In the official blog of the company criticizing the IPS blockages that had also affected their customers. “Users in Spain now face indiscriminate internet block with legitimate websites ceasing to be accessible due to their association with shared IP addresses (…) What began as a measure against piracy has become an irresponsible form of censorship on the Internet.” Where I said I say Diego. That criticism in the blog was accompanied by A message in x of the company’s CEO, Guillermo Rauch, who confirmed how those blockages were already affecting their customers. Three days later the blog article was updated with a singular note: “We are working closely with LaLiga to quickly eliminate the illegal streaming contents.” The blockages were indiscriminate. What we have lived these months has sudo a constant indiscriminate block of IPS that made not only access to illegal broadcasts of football matches, but also thousands of legitimate websites, including companies that companies that They are suffering economic and reputational damage. One of the key questions was if selective and specific blockages could be made. The answer seems to be totally affirmative. But it may not be (if you are not in cloudflare). In LaLiga’s press release, a phrase stood out especially. In it those responsible for LaLiga explained that “collaboration prevents dynamic IPS blockages from being carried out may affect third parties“. That means that theoretically in Vercel, Akamai or CDN77 will be able to make these selective blockages and prohibit access only to domains that infringe Adiovisual rights, and not to all others who share IP with the offending domain. The question is, of course, how they do it. No technical details. We have contacted LaLiga, which did not have the technical details. We have also tried to contact Vercel to try to know how they perform that filtering, but for now we have not obtained an answer. A priori that selective block is feasible, but companies such as Cloudflare defend that they protect the privacy of their customers Thanks to technologies like ECH. Some collaborate in blockages, others do not. That extension of the TLS protocol The name of the domain masks and makes it basically impossible for the operators to know which concrete website the user is accessing when asking for an IP. In Cloudflare and Vercel (for example) the same IP is shared between hundreds or thousands of domains, but while Cloudflare does not collaborate with LaLiga when specifically blocking those domains, Vercel and others do seem that they will begin to do it according to Laliga’s press release. Another setback for cloudflare. This DNS, CDN and Proxy inverse provider has become a valuable ally for thousands of companies worldwide, but His obsession with protecting privacy of his clients he is putting in trouble. French justice – which already acted Against her, Cisco and Google Recently in its fight against piracy – it has recently forced it to Block illegal MotoGP retransmissions. That now its competitors reach agreements with LaLiga raises new difficulties. It is the application of a simple philosophy. Divide and win. With this tactic, LaLiga converts to Vercel, Akamai or CDN77 – in addition to other entities – in “collaborationists” of its cause, leaving cloudflare more and more alone. That can cause a domino effect: if users and companies confirm that “if we use Cloudflare we have problems with the blockages, but if we use Vercel, there can be no potential migration of those users and companies to the services of Cloudflare competitors. But. After these agreements there are still economic interests, and those users and companies end up sacrificing the protection of privacy offered by Cloudflare and other companies to avoid being harmed economic, reputationally or functionally. The problem with this sacrifice is that now the requested blockages are theoretically to protect illegal soccer broadcasts, but a probable threat arises. BLOCKS WITHOUT JUDICIAL GUARDIAN. As Román Ramírez explained (@patowc), cybersecurity expert and creator of Rootedconthis fulfilled in the legal battle against LaLiga. According to him, this “is a way of pressing and extorting.” If LaLiga achieves that collaboration, he adds, the entity has direct access to these suppliers to “cut whatever you want. It is easy to imagine that instead of being an IPTV it is a critical website with Thebes. Without judicial protection and without democratic control.” Image | Tourettes In Xataka | We have been in LaLiga IPS for three months. The worrying thing is that they are not going unless, but more

ally with giants like Google or Perplexity for Moto AI

by

Motorola at last, and how to the car of the artificial intelligence. The Lenovo company today announced a series of important updates for Moto AIhis AI tool suitewith the aim of getting up to your rivals. Rivals that, everything is said, have been exploiting this technology for longer. To plant them, Motorola has not only opted for functions already known as the photographic edition or assistance, but has strengthened ties with the great players of the sector, to know Google, Meta, Microsoft and even Perplexity. This is everything that offers Moto AI. IA arrives in Motorola Motorola Razr 60 Ultra | Image: Xataka AI is not the future, but the present in smartphones. He has a way to go, but the first great advances are here. Samsung was the first to bet on this technology with Galaxy AIprobably one of the most outstanding suites, and the rest of the brands soon got into the wave. Currently, brands such as Oppo, Alive, Xiaomi either Realme And even Apple with Apple Intelligence They offer generative AI tools. He caught the attention that Motorola, a Lenovo brand that presumes to be the fourth manufacturer in Europe and has not stopped growing, was not there. That was until the end of last year. It was then that Motorola announced Moto AIyour AI tools suite, in beta phase. This IA has only been available, so far, in the Razr 50 and Edge 50as well as in the recently announced Motorola Edge 60 Fusion. Today he takes a step further with its launch availability in the RAZR 60 and Moto Edge 60 that the firm has presented in New York. Moto AI premiered in beta on a few devices. Today the new Razr and Edge 60 carry it active as standard That this is an important step for Motorola do not say it, it is assumed to know the alliance they have taken with giants such as Google, Meta, Microsoft and Perplexity To offer the more AI tools, the better. A matter of giving options with the advantage that everything is a touch of distance. What offers (and wants to offer) Moto ai So far, Moto AI offered a relatively limited range of options: Catch Me Up (a notification summary), Pay Attention (to record, transcribe and summarize voice and text), Remembero This (to create a second brain of things to remember in the newspaper app) and Magic Canvas (to generate wallpapers with AI). With the novelties announced in New York, the suite level up and goes on to offer a lot of more juicy functions. The first is Next Move. This function analyzes what is being shown on the screen and offers suggestions on what to do next. You are already looking at recipes for Saturday dinner with friends or planning a trip, you can invoke the AI ​​to suggest options or ideas. Next Move | Image: Xataka Another function, is focused on music lovers, is Playlist Studio. As you can intuit of your name, this function creates custom reproduction lists according to what you are doing. With only one command, for example: “Music for cooking pasta”, prepare a musical selection according to the context. You can also create the list based on what is shown on the screen. Here it should be noted that this function, for now, only works with Amazon Music. Playlist Studio | Image: Xataka Continuing with the most artistic side, Image Studio It allows you to create images, funds and stickers with only one prompt using generative. For those who enjoy photography, Motorola has also included Signature Style and Group Shot. The first is an automatic photo editing system based on the scene. The second, a tool to combine several images in one so that, for example, all people present come out with their eyes open. These two functions will only be available in the most recent RAZR and Edge. Do like us on this trip and Stay connected whatever your destination. Always navigate at high speed and With unlimited data with the ESIM from Holafly and forget about unpleasant surprises on the bill. Easy to install, keeping your physical Sim card to receive calls and No positions of Roaming. And with a 5 % discount! Council offered by the brand In that sense, the integration of Moto AI in the RAZR 60 Ultra does not require even touching the screen. Thanks to the function Look and talkit will be enough to put the semi -pleading phone on the table to make it an assistant of AI capable of, for example, answer questions, summarize notifications or transcribe and summarize conversations Motorola relies on the greats Look and talk | Image: Xataka Gemini and Gemini Live They are also present on the phone. You can access Google’s AI even from the external screen (in the case of Razr 60 Ultra) and, in addition, it is also possible to use Microsoft Copilot. The integration of the latter is in Moto AI, from where the user can ask questions, get answers, etc. Integration with Meta Model Models It has been carried out in the Catch Me Up function mentioned above. It is the first time that this is integrated into a smartphone and, in the case of Motorola, it will allow you to receive notifications even when we have no connection. Third Party Integrations | Image: Xataka It should also be noted that Motorola points to both be the first brand to integrate the perplexity search via. Users can choose “Explore with perplexity” to use their integrated search engine and receive information or deepen a topic, even on the external RAZR 60 ultra screen. This is really interesting and opens the door for Perplexity to open its way in such an important field for growth as it is that of smartphones. Finally, it is worth mentioning that Motorola’s new smartphones have an exclusive button to access Moto AI, in addition to being able to do it from the floating icon or the menu. … Read more

Low salt diets were our ally to control blood pressure. We had been overlooking the importance of banana

by

Sodium and potassium are two key elements for the functioning of our body, one sometimes interconnected to the point of serving one as a counterweight of the other. The excess sodium that we associate with high blood pressure leads many to control their salt consumption. On the other hand, if there is a food that we associate with potassium this is banana. Although not the only remarkable one. Less salt … or more bananas. A study based on mathematical models He has found Tests that increasing potassium consumption can be even more effective than reducing sodium consumption when our goal is to regulate our blood pressure. This can help us increase the dietary options of people at risk of cardiovascular diseases. “Usually, when we have high blood pressure, we are recommended to eat less salt,” Explain in a press release Anita Layton, co -author of the study. “Our research suggests that adding more foods rich in potassium to your diet, such as bananas or broccoli, can have a greater positive impact on your blood pressure than just cut the sodium.” Electrolytes Both sodium and potassium function and electrolytes In our body, that is, substances that help our body conduct electrical signals, but that also fulfill other functions such as regulating the amount of water in our body or the level of acidity in the blood. Calcium, magnesium or phosphorus are other elements that enter this category. The sodium Specifically, it plays an important role in maintaining the volume of the blood fluid under control. Under normal conditions, if our body detects an excess of sodium or an excess volume in the extracellular medium, it reacts excreting sodium to return to normal. The lack of potassium is has related with greater difficulty in controlling the risks derived from sodium in our body. A mathematical model. The connection is well described in the scientific literature but the complexity of the biological mechanisms involved makes it difficult to estimate the magnitude of this connection between sodium, potassium and blood pressure. To estimate it, a team of researchers from the University of Waterloo, in Canada, has created a mathematical model that allows you to quantify this connection. The new model managed to identify how the potassium to sodium ratio consumed affects the body. The model takes into account aspects that affect this relationship such as sex or age. The team observed, for example, that, although men are more easily in an increase in blood pressure, they also respond to a greater extent to the increase in the proportion between potassium and sodium. The details of the study were published In an article In the magazine American Journal of Physiology-Renal Physiology. Evolutionary question. As explained by the team responsible for the study, evolution has been able to have a great impact on how these elements affect us. They point out that, during the recent evolutionary history of the human being, the presence of fruits and vegetables in our diet has been high, so it is natural that the regulatory systems of our body depend in such a degree of nutrients that these give us. Contemporary Western diets are, however high in sodium and low potassium. This could explain, they point out, why blood pressure problems are so prevalent in industrialized countries. Not only bananas. We usually associate potassium to bananas but these are not the only foods that this nutrient contributes. Among the foods that They stand out for their contribution in potassium They are vegetables such as spinach, tomatoes, avocados and brocoli; legumes such as beans, lentils and soy; The potatoes. Among the products of animal origin are some dairy products, and fish such as phatan, salmon and Verdel. In Xataka | Banana must die (and only science can resurrect it) Image | Pixabay

Japan had in Mexico the perfect ally to fill the USA with hybrid cars. That is about to end

by

In his battle for torpedoing every car that comes from outside the United States, Donald Trump’s government has imposed a hard 25% tariff to every car that is manufactured outside its borders. And he has also raised an economic wall for cars manufactured there with pieces from abroad. That measure is especially shocking for Europe, which sold vehicles to the United States by value of 38.9 billion euros in 2024. But, above all, it is for Japan. The country had in United States a sales reef. A huge market that was willing to buy its cars, especially hybrids. It is now in a real problem. Everything that comes from Mexico will have to pay tariffs. Everything that comes from Japan will have to pay tariffs. And its presence on American soil is minimal. The Japanese Balancing Game Complex The automobile industry for Japan is especially important. To understand it, just look at the size of its exports. Until last year, Japan was the country that sold more vehicles outside its borders. His companies have a huge tradition, from giants such as Toyota and Honda to smaller companies such as Nissan or Mitsubishi and others with great recognition such as Mazda or Subaru For its growth, Japan installed new vehicle factories in the United States in the 80s. They produced there but The pieces arrived from Japan So the costs were minor and, in addition, generated wealth in their local market. Now, Donald Trump threatens to destroy that way of working. Before they had already achieved the favor of Americans with good cars in the 60s and, above all, a perfect opportunity with the oil crisis in the 70s. Now the car represents 3% of Japanese GDP but cars sold to the United States added 28.3% of all exports made to the North American country. The impact of maintaining a 25% tariff is such that Reuters He points out that he can impact a 0.2% drop in the country’s GDP. The United States is, for half a century, the main market of its exports in the car market. In 2015, for example, They sold 1.7 million cars In the North American country, for the more than 700,000 units that sold throughout Europe. Its weight is such that in 2023 they sold cars worth 41,070 million dollars to the United States. The figure almost reached that registered throughout the European Union in 2024, when it placed in the US market 38.9 billion euros (42,560 million dollars) in vehicles. They are figures that take into account the production of cars in Japan but, in addition, Japanese firms have found an ally in Mexico in recent years. His proximity to the United States has allowed him to get huge performance to his cars. They offer more affordable vehicles than those sold by local brands and, in addition, they are manufactured at a much lower price. The path taken by Donald Trump has made Jump alarms Within the Japanese government. In fact, the United States already confirmed yesterday (April 7, 2025) that Negotiations with a Japanese delegation opened high level that had been sent to negotiate the terms of the new tariffs. It must be remembered that, in addition to cars, the United States has imposed an added tariff of 24% to all Japanese imports, which is a commercial attack on the largest foreign investor in the country, in data collected by EFE. In Bloomberg They encrypt a 0.59% drop to growth forecasts due to these tariffs. According to calculations echoing ReutersJapan could lose 17,000 million dollars as a result of these tariffs. In Bloomberg They emphasize that American manufacturers do not pay tariffs in the United States for their car sales but claim that strict security measures, among other regulations, prevent them from acting there competitively. It is a case similar to the European where the United States has difficulty selling its cars. On the contrary, the Customer Caladero that Japanese companies have in the United States is huge. Bloomberg points out that 23% of Toyota’s sales worldwide went to the North American country. The figure grows to 28% in the case of Nissan and … at 83% if we talk about Subaru. The country’s weight has been growing thanks to the fact that they have been turning with the Hybrid car salesa Japanese specialty. They are very bad news for brands like Toyota. However, the sanitized accounts of the Japanese giant allows you Reuters. The fall would be 8% for Honda. But the provisioning that Japanese companies make of pieces produced in Mexico They are a real problem for smaller companies or with more gloomy economic perspectives. Mazda and Nissan would be the most affected, with a 59% benefit drop for Mazda and 56% for Nissan. Nissan is, without a doubt, the one who has a more complicated horizon. The company is looking for a buyer who holds him from a dramatic fall in his income that It has taken 9,000 layoffs. The Japanese government has pressed without success for Honda to buy To the company. And now It is Foxconn that positions itself as the alternative that sounds more strongly. Focused on the hybrid car and with an almost testimonial presence among the electric ones, the Japanese need to reach an agreement with the United States urgently. In Europe they need to sell more electric cars if they want to meet the European regulations in 2027 Or, as a minor evil, reach an agreement with other manufacturers. At the same time, In China they have it more and more complicatedsince the market has moved to the electric car. And Chinese competition is, more and harder.

A VPN is your ally to win at home security, but above all outside. This surfshark now has almost 90% discount

by

There is no exaggeration that is worth: we live on the Internet. Much of the day we spent connected, through the browser or other applications such as social networks. Internet is a very useful window, but also houses certain inherent dangers that are difficult to control. In fact, data leaks are the order of the day, such as The one that has suffered El Corte Inglés. If we want to pay in an online store or put our data on some Internet portal we are exposing ourselves to suffering attacks. This is even more delicate if we use A public wifi network Or that of a hotel, for example. The best thing we can do is use a VPN And this surfshark comes out now at a difficult price to reject: 2.19 euros a month. Surfshark Starter Subscription – Monthly * Some price may have changed from the last review Surfshark can be used on all the devices you want It is true that there are free options when looking for a VPN, But most offer a slow and limited service. The investment that Surfshark requires now is so small that it values ​​its service, since it allows us to enjoy a much safer experience on the Internet for very little per month. One of the most interesting points offered by this VPN is that it allows us use it on all the devices we want With the same account, whether computers or mobile phones. We can always take it on the mobile and, if we go on a trip, we will have it there in case we need to connect to a network of which we do not have any information. Surfshark VPN is included in its Starter Plan, which is the one that has the price at which we refer a little higher. This package, the most economical of the three you have, It also comes with another very useful tool: Alternative ID. This allows us to create a series of fictitious data in case we want to register on a website and we do not want to use our real information. This pack has a price right now 2.19 euros A month, which means that two years of the service leave for a total of 55.56 euros. It is a real discount, since without this offer the same period of time costs 439 euros. And there the thing does not end, Since surfshark also gives us three additional months.

AI is already our best ally to solve the mathematical problems that seem impossible

by

The applications of the artificial intelligence (AI) are presumably unlimited. Beyond the daily uses with which many of us are already familiar with the design of drugs, Disease diagnosisthe OPTIMIZATION OF INDUSTRIAL PROCESSES or the Analysis of physical or chemical mechanisms complexes, among other options. It is even being used to solve mathematical problems of enormous difficulty. In addition, algorithms that use deep neuronal networks and Automatic learning They are designed to identify complex patterns in large volumes of information, which allows them to recognize images, voice or process natural language greatly. AI has reached our lives, and it is clear that it will stay, but the most surprising thing is that it is consolidating as an extremely valuable tool in relatively exotic fields. It is possible that AI helps us solve the mathematical problems of the millennium In October 2024 Goal AIMeta’s artificial intelligence, managed to generalize Lyapunov’s function. The Russian mathematician Aleksander Lyapunov proposed the concept of the function that bears his name in 1892. His work is a very important tool in the study of dynamic systems, but mathematicians have since struggled to find a general method that allows identifying the functions of Lyapunov. And they have not been successful. However, goal has had it. Our mathematical knowledge will no longer be limited by intuition and human capacity The strategy used by the company led by Mark Zuckerberg to solve the challenge of Lyapunov’s functions has consisted of training an AI model to recognize patterns and relationships between certain dynamic systems and its corresponding functions of Lyapunov. This is precisely what is good for AI. And it is a huge success because our mathematical knowledge will no longer be limited for intuition and human capacity. The AI ​​puts in our hands a new way of addressing complex mathematical problems, identifying patterns that a priori remain hidden for the human being. However, in the field of mathematics AI still has to improve to help us solve the great challenges that the human being has ahead. Sergei Gukov, professor of theoretical physics and mathematics at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech), leads a team of researchers who is looking for ways to use AI to solve advanced mathematical problems that require thousands, millions, or even billions of steps. These scientists are currently working on The conjecture of Andrews-Curtisa group combinatorial theory proposed 60 years ago. They have not yet managed to solve the main conjecture, but with the help of AI they have achieved something important: they have refuted several families of problems related to the conjecture of Andrews-Curtis and known as counterexamples that have remained open for more than 25 years. Gukov acknowledges that Current AI models have important limitations When facing very complex mathematical problems, but you hope that in the future this technology allows the human being to solve Mathematical Millennium Problems. According to this mathematician, the best asset that researchers have to face this challenge is to instruct AI by resorting to Reinforcement learning.

LG wants to take the customization of TV to the extreme and has found its best ally at AFO

by

With the importance of streaming, Choose a SMART TV with a quality operating system It is not trivial and it is no novelty that Webos LG is one of the best. Based on Linux, the SO implemented by the Korean firm stands out for its fluidity and ease of use thanks to an attractive and agile interface, as we have been able to verify over the years in our analysis of models as remarkable as the LG QNED87, LG OLED C3 either LG Signature Oled M. The latest version of the operating system of LG is webos 25 and we have had the opportunity to try it now in the New Korean firm’s teles for 2025. However, it should be remembered that LG offers a five -year update supportso there will be other models of previous generations that can enjoy this update Following the brand’s calendar. Webos 25 arrives full of artificial intelligence and more personalization New LG TVs by 2025 with its renewed command, Remote Control AI Those who are familiar with Webos The image of this new version will be familiar to them as long as LG has opted for Maintain an intuitive design and interfaceusing cards that are placed in the lower area of ​​the screen, which in turn can reorganize to taste. It also allows to close applications and keep them in the background to recover them quickly from the lower bar. This SO It has serial activated advertising which will also continue in the latest version, although as always, it can be withdrawn (from ‘additional configuration’> ‘Home promotions’). And once the bases are cooling, the news arrives. The profiles and everything that can be done with them It is one of the great novelties of Webos. Taking into account that the normal thing is that the TV is used by several people, if we give the relevant permits, it will generate different personalized starting screens according to our tastes, adjustments and content preferences. Thus, each profile will have its own applications (they can be hidden for other people, but not eliminate: in that case they are deleted for everyone), suggestions and recommendations and tells us where we have stayed in that specific content. Although it can be chosen through command, it is not necessary since is able to recognize who is through voice by Voice ID. A concrete example of Personalization through profiles It is that of the ‘Sports’ section, where for example we can tell you what team we are so that it shows us content of ‘My team’ and related suggestions, such as Highlights YouTube videos and interviews or when the next game will be. This customization experience It is not limited to content consumption, but it reaches all the layers of webos 25. If we go to the games section we can see which titles we play and what are our achievements and on the home hub screen for home automation we can also control the compatible devices connected and execute certain routines. Nevertheless, Webos 25’s great novelty is artificial intelligencewhich will be present in the most diverse tasks ranging from the optimization of image and sound quality, accessibility adjustments, recommendations and even conversations with natural language and contextualization through the button of the AI ​​remote control, remote control AI. Thus, it is enough to hold that button to Start talking to TV naturally. Thus, you can ask things like what was the last film we saw, content recommended based on certain preferences (yes, limited to platforms with which it collaborates for this function) or until it tells you to suggest films where New York comes out, since we have planned a trip close to that American city. LG has also integrated an entertaining and different function, the generative ai gallery, a way of generating images through AI on the quite paint but limited television itself. Experience is somewhat slower than navigation without more but equally moderately fluid and contextualization is good. But beyond recommendations, on a practical level The most differential of AI is that you solve problems. For example, you can tell you that you see the screen too dark and that TV itself helps you adjust it for a better viewing or directly, that optimizes the configuration. Although the total deployment of the artificial intelligence of Webos 25 is necessary to have a state -of -the -art model with its remote control, LG has integrated Microsoft Copilot For a more general task: the search for information through the Internet.

Kaspersky’s premium plan has everything to be our best ally when we are going on vacation

by

When one goes on a trip, he always focuses on not forgetting the most important things: documentation or mobile, for example. When we are there we will want to connect to the Internet, either at the hotel or with a public wifi. This type of networks offers very little securitywhat can be a great danger. To avoid problems, better with a VPN installed on the mobile, and if it is better quality. The one that Kaspersky has in his premium plan is a great option, more now that we have it reduced: One year of the service only leaves for 34.99 euros. Kaspersky Premium – Annual * Some price may have changed from the last review Investing in a VPN is to win in security for our data When we use a public network or a network that we do not know, we risk any hacker that can monitor everything we do. This is something for nothing crazy and that can happen at any time, especially when we go on a trip, where we are always going to connect to unknown networks. There using a VPN is vitaland although there are free options, we can bet on a payment to win an additional extra security layer. We almost always recognize Kaspersky as an antivirus, although his premium plan offers this and much more. With him, we will have with us a VPN that will allow us sail safely every time we go on a tripeven if we want to consult our bank information. It can also come well if we want to access any service that is not available in the country in which we are, as can happen with WhatsApp video calls. This plan also has other very interesting tools to travel safely. One of them is the protection of our personal data, storing our passwords in a private repository with good security. And not only for us: This plan includes a free year of safekidsperfect for our children to navigate safely. Kaspersky Premium – Annual * Some price may have changed from the last review This plan is priced at 79.99 euros a year, but right now we have it with A 56% discount. Thanks to it, we can enjoy a year of the service for only 34.99 eurosa great figure. In addition, we can cancel the subscription at any time, so we will not be tied to the service with any permanence.

Nvidia has a very strong and not quite unexpected ally against Depseek: TSMC

by

Deepseek has convulsed the industry of the artificial intelligence (AI). The irruption of this free and open source Chinese model has questioned the need to use in training and inference processes Chips for very powerful and expensive. Like those designed by Nvidia, which leads with an unappealable roundness the hardware market for Ia. Even so, just ten days ago Deepseek caused Its market value fell abruptly. Since then the hardware used by this Chinese company has generated a lot of distrust. The Deepseek responsible argue that the infrastructure they have used to train their agglutin model 2,048 chips H800 of Nvidia. And that this process with 671,000 million parameters has cost 5.6 million dollars. However, some analysts defend that these figures do not reflect reality. The very juicy report prepared by SEMIANALYSIS He maintains that, in reality, the infrastructure used by Deepseek to train his AI model approximately 50,000 NVIDIA GPU with Hopper MicroAritecture. According to Dylan Patel, AJ Kourabi, Doug O’Laughlin and Reyk Knuhttsen, at least 10,000 of these chips are GPU H100 of Nvidia, and at least another 10,000 are GPU H800. The remaining chips, according to these analysts, are the cuts cut H20. The TSMC cowos packaging is a very strong support for Nvidia As we have just seen, at the current situation it is reasonable to have doubts about the hardware that Deepseek has used in the training of its model (in inference seems to be using the GPUs Ascend 910c of Huawei). And also about the real cost of this process, which could be much higher than the officially announced by this Chinese company. In any case, Depseek has poured uncertainty about the AI ​​market, and this is the reason why so many US technology companies have lost value. Whatever Nvidia has just received a very strong support from TSMC, which is the semiconductor manufacturer that produces its GPU. And is that, according to Digitimes Asiathis Taiwanese company has decided launch an expansion plan five years long for integrated circuit manufacturing capacity using its advanced cowos packaging technology (Chip-on-Wafer-on-Substrate). According to Beth Kindigof the I/O Fund consultant, this technology will monopolize between 50 and 60% of the market in 2025 compared to 15% it supported during 2024. In 2024 TSMC he officially announced that he was building two cowos packaging plants in the town of Chiayi, housed in southern Taiwan The high demand for GPUs for AI with Blackwell MicroAritectura de Nvidia is largely responsible for the implementation of this plan. The company led by Jensen Huang can respond better to the needs of its customers and will see how its competitiveness is increased in a phase in which Depseek and other Chinese companies represent a challenge. In March 2024 TSMC officially announced which was building two cowos packaging plants in the town of Chiayi, housed in southern Taiwan. However, this is not all. He also shuffled the option to put a plant more specialized in this advanced packaging technology in Japan, presumably on the island of Kyushu, in which This company is building at the moment two semiconductor production plants of avant -garde. In any case, there is something else. And it is that Chiayi plants will be trained to work, in addition to the packaging cowos, with advanced Info and Soic technologies (System on Integrated Chips). It is evident that TSMC wants to cover your back well and look to the future to prevent its production capacity from being threatened by a bottleneck. An interesting note: currently the Cowos packaging is being used with the AMD Instinct Mi250 chips and with the A100, H100, H200, B100 and B200 NVIDIA GPUs, as well as in its derivatives. The review used in these last two chips, the B100 and B200, is known as Cowos-L. In 2025 TSMC will be able to process no less than 60,000 wafers per month using its advanced packaging technology.
