The future of the European cloud is being written in Aragon. AWS has made him his most ambitious bastion in Spain

by

What until now was an ambitious announcement has just become a reality. The Aragon government has published in its official bulletin the approval of the General Plan of Interest of Aragon (Piga) that will allow Amazon Web Services (AWS) expand your infrastructure in the region. This is a project presented in May last year that contemplates an investment of 15.7 billion euros and that comes with the promise of promoting thousands of jobs, both direct and indirect. The process has been resolved in just 15 months, an unusually brief period for these types of procedures, and that places the American multinational in a position to immediately start the works in the municipalities where it already has a presence and in others in which it will be installed for the first time. We do not talk about a starting point, but of an extension: Amazon already operates three centers in Aragon And now he plans to lift five more. The Aragonese bet to become a strategic cloud enclave The key that this advance has promoted is in the Pigawhich acts as a fast route for large -draft initiatives. The regional government declared AWS’s expansion in 2024 INVESTMENT OF AUTONOMIC AND GENERAL INTERESTwhich opened the door to a preferential process. In the social network XThe Executive highlighted the publication in the BOA and the words of the counselor Octavio López, who valued the fifteen months that the entire process lasted. Click on the image to see the original publication in x As we indicated above, the planned investment amounts to 15.7 billion euros. It is the greatest technological operation approved in Aragon and one of the most ambitious in Spain. The regional government emphasizes that this figure reflects not only the size of the works, but also Amazon’s commitment to consolidate its presence in the region. The execution, of course, will be progressive, with an estimated temporary horizon of ten years. The plan contemplates a remarkable scale jump: of the three existing campuses It will be passed to a total of eight locations in Aragon. These will be located in Villanueva de Gállego, Huesca, Ebro Burgo, Zaragoza-La Cartuja and Sotonera. Each campus will integrate not only data centers, but also auxiliary facilities necessary for its operation. The plan foresees new access roads, fiber optic and High voltage lines for campus. In water matters, specific conduits for process water and evacuation networks will be enabled. Data centers are the machinery that supports digital life. There photos, videos and documents are stored, processes that work the social networks are executed and transactions that move the economy are managed. Every time you see a series in streaming, you participate in a video call or make an online payment, there are servers by processing the information in the background. Companies such as Google, Microsoft or Amazon operate this type of infrastructure. In Aragon, the extension corresponds to AWS. All the site planned in Aragon will be interconnected by fiber optics and managed as a single unit. In the company’s jargon it is called the AWS region, in this case identified as AWS Europe (Spain). The model is based on dividing the region into several areas of availability, so if one suffers an incidence, the others maintain the service. The extension ensures more capacity, lower latency and greater resilience for customers who use services in the Peninsula. Official documents stand out that campus will be equipped with redundant energy, cooling and communications systems. This means that, although a component fails, the service remains active. Fire detection measures, water leak control and operational continuity protocols are also included. In parallel, the plan incorporates energy efficiency and water management commitments, with infrastructure designed to optimize consumption. The goal is to sustain growth that combines technological capacity and environmental sustainability. Not everything is lights along the way. As the country collectedAt the end of 2024 Amazon requested to expand in a 48% water availability for its three complexes already active in Aragon. The petition ignited the alarms of groups as environmental environment and your platform your cloud dry my river, which question the water impact of this type of facilities. In their allegations they recalled that climate change should already have been considered and that, in full structural drought, what corresponds is to limit consumption. The Aragon government presents this extension as part of its strategy to attract technological investment and reinforce the role of the community on the European digital map. In the official communication it is noted that projects of this scale allow diversifying the economy and modernizing key infrastructure. Beyond the numbers, the institutional message aims to consolidate Aragon as a cloud reference enclave.

Morocco has started one of the most ambitious projects in the history of Africa

by

Morocco has begun to build its stretch of the Nigeria-Charuecos gas pipeline (NMGP), a megaproject of 25,000 million dollars that stands out not only for its scale, but for its geopolitical implications. The energy map of Africa and its connections with Europe will change. A 6,000 km corridor. Moroccan Energy Transition Minister Leila Benali, announced the start of the works. The stretch of Morocco will cost about 6,000 million dollars, and will serve as the future dorsal spine of the Kingdom Gasist Network. This initial segment will connect the port of Nador, on the Mediterranean coast, with the city of Dajla, to the south of the country. The entire Transaphrican gas pipeline will be extended through the Atlantic coast to connect Nigeria’s vast gas reserves with Morocco. From there, it will be exported to the European market, confirming Rabat as a first level energy hub. A pharaonic project. The infrastructure is designed to transport up to 30,000 million cubic meters of natural gas per year and guarantee the supply of 13 African countries. The gas pipeline will leave from Nigeria, crossing the coasts of Benin, Togo, Ghana, Ivory Coast, Liberia, Sierra Leone, Guinea, Guinea-Bisáu, Gambia, Senegal, Mauritania and Morocco. In addition to promoting industrial development and access to the energy of 400 million people, NMGP foresees Extend the supply to the European Gasist Network Already African countries without coast: Niger, Burkina Faso and Mali. Engineering studies They ended in 2024the environmental and social impact analysis of the southern section are missing. And the Algeria gas pipeline? The project directly rivals the Transaharan gas pipeline (TSGP), The initiative backed by Algeria to bring the same Nigerian gas to Europe through Niger. However, political instability in Sahel, especially after the coup d’etat in Niger, has put the viability of the Algerian corridor in serious trouble, granting a strategic advantage to the Atlantic route of Morocco. Where 25,000 million will come from. For Nigeria, the gas pipeline is the cornerstone of its “Gas Decade” initiativea strategy to monetize national reserves of six billion cubic meters of natural gas. For Morocco, the project is the spearhead of its “Atlantic Initiative”, which seeks to turn the country into a strategic corridor between Europe, Africa and the Atlantic. Ensuring 25,000 million dollars is the main obstacle. The project will make a final decision on the investment at the end of 2025 that will be the fire test, although it has already aroused the interest of entities such as the Islamic Development Bank and the European Investment Bank. How to protect thousands of kilometers of pipes that will cross 13 nations, some with unstable political environments and doubtful security, will be one of the great discussion points. The fact that investing in fossil fuel infrastructure In full green transition it is the elephant in the room.

We believed that the Zbe of Spain were an ambitious idea until we discovered Vietnam’s plan: end their motorcycles

by

Hanoi is the capital of Vietnam, a city where eight million people live. Almost everyone has a motorcycle. It is not an exaggeration: estimate It is between 6 and 7 million motorcycles in the city. The use of motorcycles represents Between 85% and 90% of filmed traffic in the country and the government has had an idea to erase all combustion motorcycles in the center of the capital by 2026. And manufacturers of electric motorcycles They rub their hands. Short. The contamination in the big cities Asian is a problem. That only in Hanoi there are about seven million motorcycles, not counting other vehicles such as cars, roads and motor tricycles, it is a barbarity that implies high levels of pollution. In the middle of the adventure that faces half the world To achieve the decarbonization, Combustion vehicles have become a problem and the Vietnamese government has decided to start taking action. The measure began to be raised in 2017, but We already have date Definitive: As of July 1, 2026, motorcycles with combustion engines will not be able to circulate through the center of Hanoi. The measure is part of a much more ambitious national plan: totally eliminate combustion motorcycles by 2045 with a double objective: that of the air pollution And also, the noise pollution. Brutal market. Although the plan will come into force on that date, it will be extended little by little to cover more districts and, as they point out in Electreklater these measures will also apply to other thermal vehicles. Hanoi, in addition, is not alone in this, since Saigón and Da Nang, with nine and 1.2 million inhabitants respectively, are also considering adopting these measures. It will be a brutal blow for a market in which estimates They point to the existence of 770 motorcycles per 1,000 people. In September alone, there were 77 million motorcycles registered in the country, an absolute barbarity that leaves out those that are not registered for various reasons. Manufacturers. The market also does not stop. The annual sales They are over three million units annually with sales only during the first quarter of this 2025 of more than 670,000 units, which represents 11.5% more than the same period of the previous year. And this market is led, above all, by foreign brands. Honda has a market share of more than 80% this year, with 200,000 units sold only in March. Yamaha, Piaggio, Suzuki and Sym are other favorites, but there is a company that is growing by leaps and bounds and will become the top winner of this measure: VINFAST. Hands rub. After Honda and Yamaha, it is the brand that is selling the most this year and what is special is that it is an electric motorcycle company. The market share of this type of propulsion increased from an estimate of 5.4% in 2019 to 12% in 2022. It was a great jump, especially if we take into account that there were no measures as radical as those that the Government raises at the moment and, currently, currently, Vinfast leads The electric motorcycle segment with 43% of the cake. In addition, it is local. During the first five months of this year, sales in this segment have increased and the company has sold 488% more. With the big cities of the country limiting thermal motorcycles, the figure from here to two years can be stratospheric. Who pays it. As usual, families with lower income. There are about 100 motorcycle models in Vietnam with low displacement models dominating the market, but also with larger and more powerful. The Price fork It is wide enough (Honda models by less than 800 dollars) So that almost everyone has a motorcycle within their economic possibilities, but with this transition, a problem also comes. Several families that depend on motorcycles for their livelihood have already expressed in media such as Vietnam Express either Al Jazeera His concern for change. Those with lower income will have difficulty facing the change to an electric motorcycle and, in addition, there are complaints about the speed at which the change decision will have to be made because it is only a year for the prohibition. Aid. One way to face the situation is through a aid program. As we read in Electrivethere are two measures that can be made from the government to facilitate the transition. The first is a series of subsidies to consumers that allow residents to replace almost half a million thermal motorcycles with electric equivalents. On the other hand, An improvement in infrastructure and load network. Because, obviously, if you want to achieve such an aggressive transition, it cannot be pretended that everything falls to the consumer because there will be many who cannot take the motorcycle home with a private charge port. In parallel, and to attend public transport, the city plans to expand the fleet of electric microbuses. Last month, Saigon already It started to expand its urban fleet of electric motorcycles. Industry. It only remains to expect how the market adapts with this forced change towards electric motorcycles, but you will also have to see how manufacturers such as Honda or Yamaha will be adapted. Because these brands not only sell in Vietnam: they manufacture in the country and, apart from covering national demand, are a Strong export point For Southeast Asia. Not to mention that it is an industry that use To millions of people already who this change will not leave indifferent.

In full European rearme, Belgium has just expanded his f-35 fighter request. The next step is much more ambitious

by

In full European rearme, not exempt from obstaclesBelgium will expand your request for F-35 With eleven new units. Thus adds to other allies such as the United Kingdom, who continue to bet on the American hunting Despite the problems that its deployment has raised. The current geopolitical context has once again placed aerial superiority in the center of the strategic board. Belgium had already commissioned 34 F-35 in 2018 With a clear objective: replace its aging F-16 fleet, a hunt that has been in service decades. At that time, the Belgian government opted for the American model against other proposals such as the Eurofighteralleging interoperability reasons, costs throughout the life cycle and compatibility with NATO nuclear weapons. Why the F-35 is the option that Belgium continues to see how more solid To date, eight units have been delivered, All in US baseswhere they serve as a training platform for the first Belgian pilots. The new order will raise the total figure to 45, in a decision framed in the reinforcement of the military budget agreed by the current government, that has committed to achieve 2% of GDP in defense in 2025 and climb up to 2.5% in the following decade. The investment planned for this extension amounts to about 1.6 billion euros, According to the strategic vision document. Although the F-16 have been updated over the years-and remain operational in several countries-it is a fourth generation platform, without furtive abilities and with less integrated sensors. They are versatile, reliable and relatively economic fighters, but belong to another era. In some scenarios, the technological difference with F-35 is abysmal. The new Lockheed Martin hunt offers a poaching, fusion of real -time sensors, advanced electronic warfacities and, above all, It is certified to carry American nuclear armament. Beyond conventional combat, this renewal of the fleet has deep strategic implications. Belgium is one of the European countries that actively participates in the strategy of NATO nuclear deterrence. To fulfill that paper, you need compatible aircraft with nuclear pumps that it is believed that they are stored in the base of Kleine Brogel. The current F-16 are certified for that mission, and the F-35 not only inherits that function, but reinforces it with more stealthy and precise technology. The delivery calendar also imposes its own limits. According to VRTthe Lockheed Martin production line is practically saturated, and the first additional fighters will not arrive until after 2033. The decision to expand the fleet, in that sense, is also a long -term commitment: future governments may resume the issue and add more units if the budgetary conditions allow it. Apart from F-35, Belgium seeks to gain weight in the air defense of the continent. In parallel to this acquisition, he has reserved 300 million euros to fully integrate into the second phase of the FCAS, The New Generation European Hunting Program. The objective is to be at the table where the technological standards of the next decades are defined, without renouncing the US fleet. On the horizon, a future coexistence is even contemplated between the F-35 and the plane that emerges from the FCAS after 2040, if the staff and the budget allow it.

Ryanair is an airline Very criticizedbut to which he always turns. It is something that the company itself boasts in your social networks Because, in some way, the price weighs a lot in every purchase decision and if we talk about transport, even more. The success of the Low Cost It is indisputable, but it is no longer alone. Now he will share space with Indigo, the Low Cost India that has been operating in Europe for a few days. Indigo? Perhaps the name is not as familiar to us in Europe as Iberia, KLM or Delta, but Indigo is one of the most important airlines in the world in general and Asia in particular. In global termsis the seventh airline for daily flights and the novena by volume of passengers and routes served. In India, his native country is the most important airline With a market share of 64.1%. The whopping 2,200 daily flights to more than 130 destinations, the majority domestic and some international operates. Indigo Boeing 787-9 | Image: Indigo And speaking of international. The airline has long been operating international flights (since 2011, specifically), but in February 2025 he announced an ambitious expansion plan throughout the globe. The first destination, due to relative closeness and commercial interests, could be none other than Europe. It should be noted that the company already operated India-Europa flights with a scale in Istanbul and code shared with Turkish Airlines, but not its own flights. That was until March, when Indigo advertisement His first destinations to the old continent: Manchester and Amsterdam. Three weekly flights Bombay address that began in July with significantly lower and unique prices. In fact, Indigo has the only Manchester-Indian route without scales. And how about? The Indigo approach is similar to Ryanair: cheap flights in exchange for losing benefits, see free seat selection, seats themselves or the non -existent infotainment system. Although the price of flights depends on infinite factors, we can make a case now, in full high season. A Manchester-Bombay flight on July 17 with Indigo costs 608 euros to change, lasts nine and a half hours and has no scales. Without being cheap flights, Indigo flights are much more interesting in every way. Manchester-Bombay flight simulation with Indigo | Image: Indigo How much? The most cheaper option That Skyscanner gives us a price of 509 euros, but also three scales with three different airlines and a route that lasts 37 and a half hours. The most sensible optionwith Qatar Airways and a scale in Doha, there are 924 euros. The difference is evident. India is strong. With this announcement, Indigo not only becomes an important Europe-Indian knot, but allows to expand connections with the rest of the world. Not surprisingly, India is one of the emerging markets What’s most are growing. Be that as it may, Indigo aims to become a global airline For the year 2030 And to materialize those plans, two things will need.

Indigo, Air-France KLM and Virgin Atlantic have been collaborating since 2022, but in June 2025 They added to their memorandum of understanding A Delta Air Lines. So that? To reinforce links and connect the domestic network in India with destinations in Europe, the United Kingdom and the United States.

Evolution seems ambitious. In hand, it is even more

The first thing that shows when sustaining the Galaxy Z fold7 It has changed. And not little. Samsung has made his most ambitious folding feel thinner, lighter and, above all, more comfortable in his hand. The difference with the previous generation is clear, although it does not see in an image: you have to touch it, because the photographs do not do justice. The design is still recognizable, but now it transmits something different. Less than that industrial robustness proposed by the Galaxy z fold6. There is also a risky, necessary cut – according to Samsung – to give life to one of the key elements of this generation. We are talking about the disappearance of compatibility with S Pen. Samsung Galaxy Z fold7 If we talk about Galaxy Z Flip7I must also say that he has taken some interesting steps. It changes little on the outside, but gains presence. The sensation in hand is more solid and uniform. And there is a visual detail that has caught my attention from the first moment: the exterior screen occupies more space than ever. This year, in addition, a third model enters the scene: the Galaxy Z Flip7 Fe. A folding that we will not address in these first impressions, but that adopts the screen format of the Flip6 launched last year and aims to become the most affordable option of this family. Thus samsung money earns: the secret is on the iPhone Technical sheet of the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip7 and Z Flip7 Samsung Galaxy Z fold7 Samsung Galaxy Z Flip7 Dimensions and weight Closed: 72.8 x 158.4 x 8, .9 mm Open: 143.2 x 158., 4 x 4.2 mm Closed: 75.2 x 85.5 x 13.7 mm Open: 75.2 x 166.7 x 6.5 mm External screen 6.5 inches screen FHD+ Dynamic Amoled 2x Display (2520 x 1080, 21: 9), 422 ppi 120 Hz Frequency of adaptive update Super AMOLED of 4.1 inches 1048 x 948, 60/120 Hz soda frequency Main screen 8 inches qxga+ Dynamic Amoled 2x (2184 x 1968), 368ppi 120 Hz Frequency of adaptive update 6.9 inches FHD+ Dynamic Amoled 2x 120 Hz Frequency of adaptive update 2520 x 1080 (21: 9) processor Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy Exynos 2500 RAM AND STORAGE 12 GB /256 GB 12 GB /512 GB 16 GB / 1 TB 12 GB / 256 GB 15 GB / 512 GB front camera 10 MP, F/2.2, 1.12μM, FOV: 85˚ (exterior screen 10MP, F/2.2, 1.12μM, FOV: 100˚ (Interior screen) 10 MP, F2.2, 1.12μM, FOV: 85˚ Main Chamber 200 MP, Quad Pixel AF, OIS, F1. 7, 0.6μm, fov: 85˚ 12 MP Dual Pixel AF, F2.2, 1.4μm, FOV: 120˚10 MP, Pdaf, OIS, F2.4, 1.0μm, FOV: 36˚, 3X Optical Zoom 50 MP, Dual Pixel AF, OIS, F1.8, 1.0μm, FOV: 85˚ 12 MP, F2.2, 1.12μM, FOV: 123˚ battery Dual 4,400 mAh (typical) Dual 4,300 mAh (typical) connectivity 5g LteWi-Fi 7Bluetooth 5.4 5g Lte Wi-Fi 7 Bluetooth 5.4 Operating system Android 16 One UI 8 Android 16 One UI 8 colors Intense blueSilver grayDark blackMint green (only at samsung.com) Intense blueDark blackCoral redMint green (only at samsung.com) others IP48 resistance IP48 resistance price From 2,109 euros From 1,209 euros Two bets in common: more screen, refined design As I pointed out, I was enough for a few seconds with the fold7 in my hand to notice that something had changed. The exterior screen is now widerand that shows right away. I no longer have that feeling of writing in a narrow vertical bar, as in the previous models. Without becoming identical to that of a standard non -folding mobile, it seems much more. (Here is a video testing the exterior screen that planned to climb right to end) Deploying it is still a small ritual, but this time the reward is somewhat greater. The main screen grows slightly and the frames are reduced. Samsung ensures that the fold shows less than in previous generations, and the truth is that, after a few moments of use, I have forgotten that the fold is there. To the touch, yes, it can be perceived. Of the right left, the galaxy z fold6, the galaxy z fold7 and the ultra galaxy s25 In the visual comparison that we have made between fold6, fold7 and galaxy s25 ultra the evolution is clearly appreciated. The Fold7 appearance ratio It finally approaches what you expect from a normal mobile. Galaxy z fold7 sides Flip7, on the other hand, takes a visual leap from outside. Its outer screen grows to surround the cameras and flash. Seeing her in person is different from seeing her in images: in her hand she wins a lot. And the 120 Hz make everything move with a fluency that hooks. Samsung Galaxy Z Flip7 folded and deployed Inside, Flip also grows. Just a few tenths of an inch, but enough to open it, give the feeling of having greater breadth for any task. Performance at the height and a long -distance promise In what there is no margin for doubts is in power. The galaxy z fold7 rides a Snapdragon 8 Elite for GalaxyQualcomm’s most advanced processor, optimized with Samsung to get even more performance. I have not had enough time to squeeze it thoroughly, but the first sensations are very good: everything moves fluently, the apps open instantly and the multiventana responds as it should. In addition, Samsung has confirmed that this model comes with Android 16 and a seven -year commitment commitment. Samsung Galaxy Z Flip7 In Flip7 the approach changes. Here we have an Exynos 2300 processor, which also feels fast and efficient in these first tests. The most interesting is not only its performance, but now it supports Samsung Dexa function that until now was reserved for higher ranges. That is available in Flip says a lot about the maturity that this format is reaching. Another relevant point: the battery. Samsung has promised improvements in flip, which 4,000 mAh to 4,300 mAh.

Kawasaki and Foxconn already try nursing robots in Taiwan. The really ambitious is what comes after

by

Soon, in some Taiwan hospitals, you could cross with a robot that guides you through the halls, wears a tray with samples or accompanies you to the consultation. It is not a prototype locked in a laboratory: it is already being tested with real patients. Behind the project are Kawasaki and Foxconn, and their idea is clear: that these robots are part of the health team since 2026. The robot that are developing part of an already known base: The Nyokkeya social model that the Japanese firm has used in residences, restaurants and even infrastructure facilities. This new version, which is being tested in the hospital Taichung general veterans From Taiwan, adapt that design to a clinical environment and gives it concrete functions designed to relieve part of the loading of health personnel. A Nurse Robot in Taiwan. The robot moves autonomously through the hospital corridors, thanks to a sensor system that allows it to dodge obstacles and avoid collisions. It has two arms with the capacity to hold objects, a compartment to transport samples or medication, and can guide patients by facilities. The Register points out that it could also Explain basic hygiene standards to users, although it is not clear if that function is part of the model that will be displayed soon. Everything indicates that the immediate objective is not to replace medical staff, but to assist it in routine tasks that consume time and resources. In a context like Taiwanese, where the shortage of nursing personnel is a real concern –and shared by many other countries-, The presence of these robots could relieve part of that pressure. Foxconn estimates thattaking care of transporting medications, samples or kits, Nurabot could reduce staff workload by up to 30 %. Who are behind the robot? The collaboration between Kawasaki Heavy Industries and Foxconn is not accidental. The first was a pioneer in industrial robotics in Japan and today manufactures automotive systems, the semiconductor industry and even surgery. The second is the largest electronics manufacturer for the world’s contract, and it has been betting on robotics and artificial intelligence as new growth engines. In this project, in fact, Foxconn has had Nvidia technology For the entire artificial intelligence ecosystem, from the training of models in data centers to the execution of algorithms in the robot itself. According to Nikkei Asiaboth companies are negotiating how production, technical support and the marketing of the robot are divided once it reaches the market. What comes after. At the moment, the robot is focused on hospital environments, but both Kawasaki and Foxconn have already shown interest in expanding their use to other sectors. The final idea is to build a versatile platform that can adapt to different environments and needs. In that scenario, the experience accumulated in clinics would serve as a test field for a future generation of multifunction robots. A kind of technological staff on which to build other more specialized models: customer service assistants, guides in public spaces, logistics assistants. What is trying today in a Taichung hospital could become the basis of a new category of robots designed to live with us on a day -to -day basis. OBJECTIVE: Get to the market in 2026. If everything goes as planned, the robot will arrive on the Taiwanese market in fiscal year 2026. Kawasaki and Foxconn have marked an ambitious goal: to reach accumulated sales of 200 units in the following year, that is, before the end of 2027. Yes, the price has not yet been revealed.

The ambitious video apps plans to land on Smart TV

by

There is no one who can with the TV. Although the hours we spend in front of the mobile are increasingly abundant, the big screen that makes up the neuralgic entertainment center and household meetings continues to exercise great power over us. And about advertisers. Therefore, even mobile apps giants such as Instagram or Tiktok consider a turn to television and prepare apps in that format. Tik tok and Instagram, to TV. Account ‘The Information‘That Tiktok and Instagram are developing apps to be viewed on television. The objective is to steal some advertiser of the juicy cake that are now distributed the platforms of streaming (that generated more than 26,000 million dollars in income in 2024) and also increase the number of users, appealing to new profiles and older than the usual ones on the platforms (In Tiktok About 70% of users are under 34 years old, and On Instagram around 60%) The future has returned. When the use of mobiles was generalized, the media looked at these new devices, transportable screens (laptops, tablets, smartphones) and They said “here is the future”. We would watch TV and movies on mobiles. They were wrong: TVs are still reigning in houses thanks to the arrival of streaming: Linear TV consumption is in historical minimumsbut Thanks to streaming platforms A lot of television is still seen. But the screen continues to be transformed and perhaps the next bombing we see comes from the arrival of native mobile apps. YouTube to power. Recent news resonates in this decision of the two gigantic social social networks: YouTube’s sustained growth in recent years. According to Nielsenthe video platform has experienced a constant and significant general growth, more than 120 % since 2021. But in addition, in May 2025, it occupied the leading position between platforms of streamingwith 12.5 % of the total viewing on television. That is, advancing traditional television on their own land and even its rivals of streamingan app born on the Internet has conquered televisions. Tik Tok already tried. The Chinese video app has already tried to enter the Smart TVS with an application that did not have much route and It was launched in November 2021. According to Sony and collects ‘The Information’, Tiktok stopped updating the app in June and there are other televisions brands, such as Samsung or LG, where it is not even available. It is a possible clue about changes in the Tiktok TV approach. Instagram has never had an app for Smart TVS. Advertising is what is sought. To those mentioned 26,000 million dollars that gives the streaming In advertising the 72% of the 50,000 million youtube revenues In 2024: the video format and its jump to television allows multiple formats (pre -rol, Bumper, Mid-RollShorts), very versatile and attractive for video social media apps, more limited in that regard. Television allows hybrid advertising practices (with the use of artificial intelligence That will begin to put into practice Netflix, for example), which generate more impact on television. All that also want to access Tiktok and Instagram.

This camera as small as ambitious is not perfect, but almost

by

There are cameras that arrive with so much noise that it is impossible to ignore them. The DJI OSMO POCKET 3 It has been one of the most commented in recent months by its size, its versatility and its surprising performance for video. But … is it as good as they say? In this New 24/7 episode published in the YouTube channel Se xatakaour partner intends to find out: record with her for a whole month as the only main camera, getting to record resources for videos such as the Versus of the Samsung Galaxy A56 against the iPhone 16E. “I have asked to use it only as my main video camera,” he says at the beginning. Neither loose tests nor support clips: a real and continuous use. What comes from there? The first thing that attracts attention is how much such a small format can give. “The first time I saw the Osmo Pocket I judged her quite bad Because I thought something so small could not record anything well. ” And yet, the thing changes after several days recording real plans for other Xataka videos. There are strengths that do not take long to appear. The stabilization of three axes, the automatic approach, the Face Track mode. “It works quite well, it is fast and does not have many failures.” And the design with folding OLED screen 90 degrees makes you record yourself as simple than it seems. But there are also decisions that surprise. And not for good. What about the digital zoom? And why can’t you record vertically without trimming resolution? The camera allows you to record vertically, but it does so digitally the image. And although that can be enough for social networks, It is not ideal To get the most out of the sensor. How is it possible that you have to install an APK today if you use Android? Throughout the video, advanced functions such as recording in logarithmic, settings in 10 bits and wireless microphone performance are tested. There is also talk of autonomy, fast charging and accessory pack. At this point, it should be specified: autonomy is approximately an hour and 50 minutes recording at 4k at 60fps, which can be extended up to about 3 hours and 20 minutes with the battery grip. Now, not everything is as round as it seems. And some things could directly improve. As for the zoom, during the first tests it offered quite poor results, but after a Firmware updateDJI has managed to improve. It is not perfect, but at least now it is usable in specific situations. “It is one of the most useful and comfortable cameras that I have ever tried to create content,” concludes our partner. But that means that it deserves what it costs? And that has no rival in its format? Give it to the play. Because this time, the 24/7 is for this interesting camera. And if you want to know more about other outstanding devices in the world of photography, we invite you to read our articles about the Canon Eos R1 and OM System OM-3.

Starlink has been growing without competition for six years. Now an ambitious competitor has started throwing satellites: Amazon

by

In the early hours First 27 operational satellites of the Kuiper constellation of Amazon. Starlink is at last company. An ambitious competitor. Project Kuiper was born in 2018, a year before Spacex launched the first 60 satellites of its Starlink constellation, which offers broadband satellite Internet. However, waiting for the vulcan rockets of ULA and New Glenn de Blue Origin to be available, Amazon only He had launched two test satellites… until now. The technological giant has finally began to deploy its initial constellation of 3,232 satellites in the low terrestrial orbit (between 590 and 630 km of altitude) to offer low latency connections in places where terrestrial networks do not arrive or are insufficient. When available, The service will have plans of 100 Mbps, 400 Mbps and up to 1 GBPS speed. Curves come. Although this launch marks Kuiper’s operational start, Amazon is still exposed to several challenges. The main is the time: the project has been delayed about its calendar and its FCC license for approximately one year have half of the constellation (1,618 satellites) In orbit for July 2026, a date that seems difficult to meet without an extension, since the company does not manufacture its own rockets like Spacex. Kuiper’s rockets. While Blue Origin is a company by Jeff Bezos and there is, say, certain synergies between both companies (in addition to a well -known enmity with Elon Musk), His New Glenn orbital rocket has only flown onceand has not yet managed to demonstrate its ability to land. Reuse has been fundamental in Starlink’s success: the Falcon 9 rocket, which Spacex partially recovers, has launched more than 8,000 Starlink satellites in six years. Amazon’s constellation depends to such a third party that Amazon made the “major Commercial acquisition of launch vehicles of the story “in 2022. Only with ULA has contracts to launch another seven atlas and up to 38 Vulcan. It has also reached agreements with Arianegroup to use the European rocket Ariane 6 and, of course, with Blue Origin to use the New Glenn; the only one with the capacity to land of the four pitchers. China and Europe go to their roll. Despite the difficulties, Kuiper is the first Starlink competitor who has a financial muscle at Spacex, provided that Amazon is willing to play in the long term. In Europe we have an already quite advanced commercial constellation, but that plays in another league. Oneweb of Eutelsat operates a constellation of about 630 Leo satellites, but its approach is mainly B2B and government, and its satellite density is much less than that of Starlink. China also goes to its roll, but it is deploying megaconstellations that could harm Starlink and Amazon. Spacesail already has satellites in orbit and plans to display 648 by 2025, with the aim of growing up to 15,000 satellites by 2030, with which could offer services up to 30% cheaper than Starlink in markets like Brazil. To this price war are added to others Chinese projects like Honguhu 3 either Guowangadding tens of thousands of satellites who will begin to cross the night sky without stopping.
