arrival

its 1,500 residents forced to leave the town due to the arrival of new rains

by

The municipality of Grazalema in Cádiz without a doubt Leonardo is bearing the brunt of the storm As we have seen in numerous images where water can be seen in the streets, in houses or even coming out of power outlets. Given all this, the situation has reached a completely unsustainable point, so the authorities They have ordered the complete evacuation of the municipality. Heavy rainfall. This decision comes after receiving this Wednesday the town almost 600 liters of water per square meter surpassing all previous records. This large amount of rainfall has formed a symbiosis with the many liters that had fallen in the previous days and weeks, which has made the situation completely unsustainable. The problem is precisely what may come in the coming days. The AEMET has already alerted that this same Saturday the Grazalema region will be on orange alert due to rainfall that will once again reach tens of liters. Something that has activated all the machinery to relocate citizens while the weather situation returns to normal. Its magnitude. It is not an easy task, since we are talking about a town with nearly 1,600 residents who will now have to move to another point to guarantee their safety. Just as they collect local mediait was the president of the Andalusian Government himself who has announced this measure in an appearance with the mayor of Grazalema due to the absolutely anomalous situation that the town is experiencing. The main focus of concern is placed above all on the geological state of the municipality, and especially on its aquifer. Earth movements. The main danger that the municipality’s aquifer is full of water is that it begins to exert pressure on the terrain itself. This translates into ground movements with structural damage that would affect homes or the streets themselves. How will it be done? Although this evacuation will take place during the day and with weather conditions that are currently more favorable than those experienced yesterday, moving so many people is not easy. For now, the authorities have indicated that residents who can travel with their own means to Ronda, where they can be welcomed in a pavilion managed by the Red Cross. Although it is also possible that some neighbors move to the homes of relatives or acquaintances. In any case, having time ahead will ensure that this evacuation is done in an orderly manner and in areas such as the president himself points out of the Andalusian Government. Something that they point out must be kept in mind is serenity at this time so that chaos does not spread. It is an obligation. The evacuation of the municipality is not voluntary at all, but is mandatory for all resident neighbors who must leave the municipality following the instructions. In this way, tonight no one will be able to sleep in Grazalema without a clear date to return. Other evictions. Throughout these days we have seen how in different parts of Andalusia evacuations have had to be carried outsuch as in Dúdar (Granada). Although an evacuation of a municipality of considerable size with more than 1,000 inhabitants, the truth is that there are few precedents that we can have in mind right now.

The arrival of NVIDIA processors is imminent and brings 8 laptops under its arm

by

When the river sounds, it carries water. And rumors of NVIDIA launching its own processors for home computers have been around since at least a couple of years ago. Well, the arrival of Jensen Huang’s company in this segment is imminent and represents a total challenge to the hegemony of Intel and AMD and the x86 architecture. What’s more, it points to a paradigm shift in how we will understand Windows personal computers in the coming years. Bottom line: think Apple Silicon. The context. To date, Intel and AMD have divided the Windows laptop pie and ARM architecture It was intended either for more or less affordable and basic computers with Chromebook and MediaTek or for an expensive MacBook. It is true that already is there a powerful laptop with Qualcomm Snapdragon under the hood that runs Windows, but the arrival of NVIDIA chips this first quarter of 2026 wants to be the definitive push. Thus, these ambitious and powerful teams will not equip an NVIDIA GPU with an Intel CPU as we have been seeing for years, but rather they will have an NVIDIA SoC (actually, there are two models: N1 and N1X). Simply put, NVIDIA takes care of two essential pieces of hardware. Why is it important. NVIDIA wants to do with Windows what Apple has achieved with its M chips, an ecosystem where the processor and graphics are integrated and understood wonderfully, which is noticeable in issues such as battery consumption, efficiency or performance itself. The blessed convergence. For years, if you wanted a powerful computer for gaming or work, you had to choose between Intel or AMD and the x86 architecture, but NVIDIA enters a china shop like an elephant with the ARM architecture and its advantages: more efficiency, less heating and longer battery life. Until now, finding a reliable gaming device to play with was a pipe dream, but the N1X chip with the Blackwell architecture of the RTX 50 wants to change it. And furthermore, you could do it on more stylized equipment. On the other hand, these chips use unified memory (up to 128 GB LPDDR5X), which means fewer bottlenecks in demanding tasks such as gaming, local AI or video editing. What has escaped. A leak from Lenovo has revealed that the company has manufactured six laptops with the N1 and N1X processors, including a 15-inch gaming device. An X/Twitter user has published the list of the teams. The user’s profile is completely anonymous, not that it does not inspire much confidence, but there is more: this page updates The Legion control software already shows the existence of a “Legion 7 15N1X11” laptop where the “N1X” is precisely the NVIDIA SoC. Besides, The Verge has discovered already indexed and protected Lenovo content that refers to products with these processors. And not just Lenovo: Dell has also missed a premium device with NVIDIA N1X on its website, such as another X/Twitter user swiped. just a couple of days ago Digitimes gave to date: It will be this spring, although more devices will arrive this summer. After suffer a delayit seems that they will finally become a reality and will not stop here: the company already has the N2 and N2X on its roadmap for the end of 2027. Product descriptions with NVIDIA SoCs already appear on the Lenovo website The processors. There is little information about these components beyond a Geekbench leak that must be taken with tweezers. We know that the most powerful and aimed at models with more muscle is the N1X and rumors suggest that it has a 20-core CPU and an integrated GPU with 6,144 CUDA cores (with Blackwell architecture). However, the CEO of NVIDIA already confirmed than the N1 and the superchip GB10 They are practically the same. The N1 is simply a more modest chip focused on thermal efficiency and battery life and aimed at ultrabooks and mid-range. The first laptops with NVIDIA chips. The leaked devices that will debut with SoC from the company led by Huang will be eight: a Lenovo Legion 7 (15N1X11) gaming laptop with the N1X chip, the Lenovo Yoga 9 and Yoga Pro 7 convertibles with two versions to choose between N1X and N1, the IdeaPad Slim 5 in 14 and 16-inch versions with the N1 chip and the Dell “Premium 16”, probably XPS or Alienware, with an OLED screen and chip N1X. NVIDIA is not new to this. Lenovo is the largest PC manufacturer in the world (as collects Statista) and that it launches several models of its most important families means that it has strong reasons to trust that the performance of NVIDIA chips is up to par. However, NVIDIA’s ARM PC chips have been a long time coming, but that does not mean that it is a newbie in the sector, it is worth remembering that the switch It has a Tegra SoC and that this line has previously been the brain of tablets and even the Microsoft Surface or the Shield for TV. It is the beginning of a new cold war. And if confirmed, Microsoft’s desire would be fulfilled: the Windows on arm as a real alternative to Apple’s Macbook. The first quarter is not only the launch date, it can become a before and after between NVIDIA, Apple, AMD and Qualcomm for control of the computers of the future.

The DGT confirms that there were doubts with the arrival of the V-16 beacon

by

In just over a week, the triangles will have said goodbye forever on our roads. Or they should have said it if we take the regulation literally because the DGT itself has warned that we will have a grace period to have the V-16 beacon in our car. An element that arrives with controversy and that has been close to being delayed, according to Pere Navarro, director of Traffic. “We are considering delaying it”. That is what Pere Navarro, director of the DGT, stated in statements to the program Better Late of La Sexta. The head of Traffic confirmed that they considered delaying the beacon “to July 31, but nothing would have changed.” According to Navarro, delaying the entry of the V-16 beacon would have led to the same problems and debates but six months later. Come on, we would be talking about the convenience and necessity of beacons in the summer instead of doing it now at Christmas. “Flexible”. In his statement to the La Sexta program, Navarro confirmed that there will not be any type of extension. It is a position in which Tráfico has remained firm in recent months and of which They already announced in November. “This comes from a Royal Decree of 2021,” Navarro now recalled. However, according to the Director of Traffic, “agents will be flexible”so a certain grace period is expected before the Civil Guard fines us for not having a connected V-16 beacon. Of course, in his statements Navarro has not said how long this period will last and the truth is that, if an agent fines us, the regulations protect him. Same, same… In his statements, Navarro suggests that if the implementation of the V-16 beacon had been delayed until next summer, the situation would be exactly the same as at the moment. However, the DGT could have made some kind of communication campaign to the drivers by then, something he has completely omitted this time. One of the most repeated criticisms. In fact, Montserrat Estaca, head of the Telematics Area of ​​the DGT, in an interview with 20Minutes recognized that there was room to better inform drivers. “We should sing a little mea culpa, either we have not done the job well or we have not sufficiently informed the citizens of this new measure,” Estaca acknowledged. So? The question is… what will we find on the road on January 1, 2026? According to Pere Navarro, the agents will not start fining immediately for not having a V-16 beacon connected but the truth is that if we only put the emergency triangles we will not be correctly signaling a fault and they can fine us 80 euros for it. The procedure is clear: we must activate the connected V-16 beacon, place it on the roof of the vehicle and only leave it if there is a safe place to stay. However, there are those who resist throwing away the triangles and we ourselves choose to use it depending on what occasions. This decision will not entail a fine, according to the DGT. In Xataka We have asked Traffic who assure us that the driver will be able to go out and put up the triangles “at his own risk” but that the Civil Guard will not fine him for it.

The DGT assumes that something has failed in the arrival of the V-16 beacons

by

The DGT’s V-16 beacons will replace the emergency triangles in 2026. The DGT confirmed just a few days ago that there will be no extensions or delays of any kind. It is something that was already approved in 2021 and that we should all have in our cars. Or, at least, that was the idea. Because the DGT itself assumes that the communication has not been correct. The V-16 beacons. They will be mandatory starting January 1, 2026. As we have been telling you in Xatakathis device will be in charge of signaling our breakdowns or accidents on the road starting next year. In fact, it will be prohibited to use triangles as it is understood that they pose a risk of being run over when installing them. Despite the criticism, Pere Navarro, director of the DGT, confirmed that there will be no valid extensions. The only future from January 1, 2026 is that we all carry a connected V-16 beacon in our car (because not all of them are valid). Their defense is that it is something that has been approved for almost five years so it should not take us by surprise. However, there are voices within Traffic that sing the mea culpa. “Nor we have done the job well”. The words are from Montserrat Estaca, head of the Telematics Area of ​​the DGT, in an interview with 20Minutes. Estaca thus responded to a question that focused on how the imposition of the connected V-16 beacon has caught many drivers by surprise: “Well, look, we have been around since 2021-2022, but it is true that there are many, many citizens who are unaware that the V16 beacon is going to be mandatory from 01/01/2026. You ask people, your acquaintances, and it is true that there are many people who do not, therefore, “We should sing a little mea culpa that we have not done the job well or we have not sufficiently informed citizens of this new measure” By the media. Until now, the only way in which the DGT has contacted drivers has been through the media. And it is only with the publication of the news or the interviews that those responsible have been giving that those affected have been able to find out about the obligation to carry a connected V-16 beacon from the first day of 2026. And the DGT has not issued any direct communication to drivers. It is one of the criticisms that has taken the most force. Traffic has not sent a letter explaining the new obligation as it did, for example, when environmental labeling was activated. The head of the Telematics Area of ​​the DGT also recognizes 20Minutes who has no knowledge that this is going to occur. “Three or four euros”. It is another point where Estaca has placed emphasis. The V-16 connected light, which is sold mostly between 40 and 50 eurosthey are not expensive. For the DGT, it must be taken into account that it is a device that has guaranteed connectivity for at least 12 years. If the money from a first payment is amortized over more than a decade, the annual expense is very low, according to the DGT. “If it is divided by 12 years (the purchase expense), it comes out to 3-4 euros per year and if you look at the expense of maintaining a car (insurance, gasoline, ITV…) it is not that much. Since, the DGT guarantees the connectivity of the V16 for 12 years, in addition, if you change vehicles, you can take the beacon from one vehicle to another as you could do with the triangles” 80 euros if you don’t want. Estaca has also not confirmed whether there will be a grace period before Traffic officers begin to fine for the absence of this V-16 beacon connected to our cars. And anyone who lacks it faces a fine of 80 euros, the same one that is currently imposed if a driver does not have the triangles. Furthermore, it must be remembered that the use of triangles will be prohibited and that a driver who installs them may be fined for it. The DGT insists that the risk of being run over is very high and has already changed the traffic protocols. what should we do in case we have to report a fault. Sometimes, It is now mandatory to stay inside the car to wait for the requested help. “When they work at their worst”. Estaca also accepts that daylight is not something that suits the V-16 beacons that will be mandatory next year. “In natural light, at least it reaches the same as a triangle, that is, 50 meters. It’s like the turn signals, you see them from a certain distance, therefore, that is the minimum that the V16 has, the turn signal light and from there on up. (…) Yes, the V16, in more critical conditions, are more visible, when they work the worst they are in daylight” This, precisely, was one of the criticisms that experts in road safety have been carrying out on these connected V-16 lights. The visibility generated with such a light when weather conditions are good is nothing short of questionable. Also in changes in grade or sharp curves, but from Traffic they cling to the connectivity of the beacon and the idea that this product expands the visibility of a breakdown to the digital spectrum through the car’s navigator.

Japan has found the three most serious problems of the massive arrival of tourists. And none has to do with tourists

by

Summer has confirmed two things around Japan’s tourist success: avalanche has been bigger than expected, and the nation I wasn’t so prepared As I believed. In fact, they have even had the idea of give away flights to foreigners to encourage them beyond the congested Tokyo. In contrast to tourist hordes, Japanese They barely travel To other countries. And that explains many of the evils that the country is finding quite well. The shadow of discomfort. Japan has passed in just two decades of being considered a expensive destination and reserved for a few to become one of the main tourist poles World Cups The number of foreign visitors has grown from 6.7 million in 2005 to almost 37 million in 2024with 2025 on the way to beat a new record. The government aspires to reach 60 million in 2030supported by the global manga popularity, anime and Japanese culture, as well as events such as Tokyo Olympic Games and Osaka’s Expo. The problem? That what I know promoted how A “Inbound Tourism Boom” has become qualified by many as “tourist”, with agglomeration scenes at famous crosses such as Kamakurakomoe’s or in Kyoto’s temples. The initial enthusiasm has given way To growing complaints On noise, strange manners, garbage and pressure on housing and hospitality prices. The weight of the economy and demography. However, when the nation has counted the evils of such discomfort, it has been found that the main problems He has them at homeit was not. Behind that discomfort underlies a psychological element linked to the relative decline of Japan. The strong devaluation of Yen It has made the country cheap for foreigners, but at the same time it has reduced the ability of Japanese young people to travel abroad. For a population that ages quickly (With 16% of over 75 years old) see tourists who marvel at how cheap it is everything A humiliating contrast With the eighties, when Japan was the most expensive country in the world and its own boomers they toured the planet with the latest generation cameras. He Hotel increase (more than double since 2021) and the pressure On rentals In cities such as Kyoto generate the feeling that the economic benefits of tourism do not translate into real improvements in the life of residents. Kyoto redefinition. If there is a place that embodies the debate, it is Kyoto. The old capital, famous for its temples and their geishas, ​​is so congested that many Japanese today consider it an awkward destination and even avoid traveling there. School excursions, once a passage rite, They deviate to cities such as Kanazawa or Nagasaki due to delays, agglomerations and increasing costs. For the inhabitants, the avalanche has raised rentals and Modified social fabricto the point that some experts ensure that the city already meets the definition of Overtourism: When the normal life of its residents is compromised. Historical memory and new tensions. It is not the first time that Japan faces a tourist saturation problem. In the sixties and seventies, internal prosperity generated OLADAS OF DOMESTIC TRAVELS that transformed cities such as Kyoto or Nara, with complaints similar to the current ones. Remembered the Financial Times that then There was talk of “Tourist pollution”, and some anthropologists warned that residents ran the risk of becoming “strangers of strangers” in their own land. Today that Speech resurfacesamplified by social networks with viral tourist videos chasing geishashanging of toriis or violating rules of coexistence. A new term has even coined, “Touristphobia”to describe the mixture of tiredness, irritation and rejection that generates the massification, sometimes dyed of a xenophobic background. Tourism as a political weapon. The issue has entered fully into Japanese politics. In full leadership election of the Democratic Liberal Party, figures as healthy takaichi They have turned the issue into a flag, linking the discomfort of tourists with the Immigration debates and the arrival of foreign workers, increasingly necessary for the shortage of labor. The rhetoric against the “tourist abuse” intermingles with warnings about an alleged threat to national identity. Thus, the debate on tourism ceases to be just a matter of urban management to become a symbol of deeper anxieties about the future of the country. The forgotten of the map. Meanwhile, they remembered In the Financial Times What regions like Fukui show the other face of the currency. With a recently extended bullet train from Tokyo, a world -class dinosaurs museum and outstanding cultural enclaves remains one of the prefectures less visited For foreigners. Their hotels and transport fail to attract enough travelers and their problem is not excess, but The lack of tourists. There, the mayor admits that they have not yet seen or a trace of the hordes. This contrast reflects a central dilemma: Japan needs to better distribute the benefits of tourism, encourage repeated visits and direct the flow to still non -saturated areas, but lacks the infrastructure and political vision necessary to achieve it. A nation mirror. The debate on tourism is ultimately a mirror of Japanese society. Talk about a country agingwho feels the pressure of A weak currencywhich recalls with nostalgia the times of its economic preeminence and that faces the Challenge of managing The massive arrival of foreigners in cities that are exceeded. The challenge is not only to limit agglomerations, but in redefining the relationship between residents and visitors, between their own economy and coexistence, between opening and identity protection. Thus, Japan, which in the past exported millions of tourists, is now seen in the difficult position of learning to manage their own attraction.

The arrival of the iPhone Air has changed everything. Guide to choose perfect iPhone in Apple’s new family

by

Apple has presented new iPhone, four to be exact: iPhone 17, iPhone Air, iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max. Unlike other years, alignment has changed. The novelty is that The Plus model tells us goodbye and the new iPhone Air arrives instead. Let’s see how the iPhone family looks after launch. iPhone 17: The always base model iPhone 17 The dry iPhone. Is the successor of iPhone 16 and maintains the usual spirit: a more content size and double camera. It is the iPhone for those who do not need the triple camera or the most powerful processor. This year the iPhone 17 wins points because its screen finally adds to the 120hz, something that so far away further away from its older brothers. It is made of aluminum and, to protect the screen, it has the new Ceramic Shield 2 which is up to three times more scratch resistant. It arrives in five colors; Black and white for the most traditional and three more casual tones (lavender, green and blue). Its price starts from 959 euros For the 256GB version. iPhone Air: The new class comes wearing Tipazo iPhone Air Is The great novelty This year. After The failure of the ‘mini’ modelsApple tested the opposite: an iPhone ‘plus’ that bet on a much larger screen. The formula has not set and the iPhone Air is the new Apple attempt to sell us a fourth iPhone. As with the macbook air, The iPhone Air claim is thinness. Specifically, it measures 5.6 millimeters thick (with the exception of the camera module, where by the way Apple has managed to put practically the entire hardware) and weighs 165 grams. The iPhone Air is for those who want the most exclusive design, even at the expense of making certain sacrifices. It only has one camera and, although the figures of autonomy are not as disastrous as it was rumored (27 hours of video playback), the fact that Apple announced an external battery specially designed for this model leaves us with enough doubts. Another important factor is that It has no physical sim, So if you decide to go for the new ultradelgated iPhone, It is time to hire an ESIM. The iPhone Air arrives blank, gold, sky blue and black and its price starts from 1,219 euros For the 256GB version. This is 260 euros more expensive than the iPhone 17, but 100 euros cheaper than the iPhone 17 Pro. iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max: For the most demanding iPhone 17 Pro Max and iPhone 17 Pro If you are looking for the best experience, especially at the photographic level, you have to go for a Pro. They have a triple camera that, in addition to the wide angle, also include a teleobjective that reaches 8 increases. They also have the Apple A19 Pro processor with steam camera to avoid and carry Ceramic Shield 2 both in the front and rear. What model choose? It will depend on the size you prefer (6.3 or 6.9 inches) and also the budget. The iPhone 17 Pro Max Cuesta 1,319 euros and the iPhone 17 pro max 1,469 euros In the 256GB versions, that is 150 euros apart. A point to keep in mind is that, in addition to the screen size, the Pro Max also has more battery. iPhone 16 and 16 Plus: last year’s models still have a lot to say iPhone 16 Plus and iPhone 16 As usual, Apple keeps the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus on sale one more year. Although they are models with a year old, they are still two very interesting options For those who want to pay less, whenever he does not mind giving up some novelties. The main and most important is the soda rate. In the new models it is already 120Hz, but on the iPhone 16 it was still 60Hz. They also have the chip last year (Apple A18) and the ultra -angular chamber was still 12 megapixels. The output prices are 859 euros for the iPhone 16 and 959 euros for the iPhone 16 Plus, 100 euros reduction. iPhone 16E: The “Cheap” iPhone iPhone 16E Although he was not part of the presentation of September 9, the iPhone 16E It is still selling on the Apple website so it is part of the family. Is the successor of iPhone se And the first of its kind that bets on a Front without button where the screen is the protagonist. Of course, there is no dynamic island but the Notch Classic of previous models. It makes some concessions such as that it only carries a camera or a smaller screen. Is The iPhone for those looking for the most affordable model. However, with a price of 709 euros For the 128GB, it is not exactly cheap, especially if we compare it with the previous ones, whose price was around 530 euros. Specifications of the entire iPhone family iPhone 17 iPhone Air iPhone 17 Pro IPhone 17 pro max iPhone 16 iPhone 16 Plus iPhone 16E screen 6.3 inches 2,622 x 1,260, 460ppp Brightness up to 3,000 nits Promotion 120Hz True Tone, HDR Dynamic island 6.5 inches 2,736 x 1,260, 460ppp Brightness up to 3,000 nits Promotion 120Hz True Tone, HDR Dynamic island 6.3 inches 2,622 x 1,260, 460ppp Brightness up to 3,000 nits Promotion 120Hz True Tone, HDR Dynamic island 6.9 inches 2,868 x 1,320, 460ppp Brightness up to 3,000 nits Promotion 120Hz True Tone, HDR Dynamic island 6.1 inches 2,556 x 1,179, 460ppp Brillo up to 2,000 nits True Tone, HDR Dynamic island 6.7 inches 2,796 x 1,290, 460ppp Brillo up to 2,000 nits True Tone, HDR Dynamic island 6.1 inches 2,532 x 1,170, 460ppp Brillo up to 1,200 nits True Tone Notch processor Apple A19 Apple A19 Pro Apple A19 Pro Apple A19 Pro Apple A18 Apple A18 Apple A18 storage 256GB 512GB 256GB 512GB 1TB 256GB 512GB 1TB 256GB 512GB 1TB 2 TB 128GB 128GB 256GB … Read more

The best maps and tools not to miss the arrival of the Perseidas

by

The Arrival of Perseidasthe rain of more iconic stars of the summer. This year The bad news It has to do with light pollution, since the proximity of the last full moon (last 8) and the peak of The Perseids (Today, day 12), it will make it difficult to find these flashes in heaven. Escape light. To avoid natural light pollution we will have to wait, but avoiding artificial pollution is also in our hand. Only we have to know how and, above all, where. Orient in the field. But navigating such a broad territory can be complicated. According to data From the National Institute of Statistics of 2022, of the 8,131 municipalities in Spain, 4,986 have less than 1,000 inhabitants. In them there are about 3% of the population. We have various resources at our disposal to choose the ideal place to see the Perseidas, one close to our city or that is close to our summer destination. We may have an already planned trip and want to make a brief getaway from a provincial capital to a town of clear skies and free of light pollution. Maps At our disposal there are several tools that can help us guide us and look for destinations of clear skies. For example, The mapslike him developed a few years ago by the Complutense University of Madrid and the CBAS (International Research Center of Big Data For Sustainable Development Goals); or what puts at our disposal The application LIGHT POLLUTION MAP – Dark Sky. There is another map that we should not forget: the time map. If we want to look for the best place to see the stars, fleet or not, we will need a clear sky. The forecasts From the State Meteorology Agency (Aemet) they can be of great help in this. Astrotourism In a time when Astrotourism has become a new (and thriving) economic sector for the “emptied Spain”, we also have at our disposal the resources that this sector gives us to guide and choose our destination. Today we can resort to specialized tourist certificates in this subsector that unites interest in space with tourism, especially rural tourism. One of the organizations dedicated to creating certificates of this type is the Starlight Foundation. This foundation has its origin in the I Starlight International Conference, a meeting promoted by the Institute of Astrophysics of the Canary Islands (IAC) dedicated to “study -from different perspectives -, the need to protect the night sky on our planet and find paths for its enjoyment for society”, Explain the Foundation itself. The Starlight Foundation would emerge in 2009, two years later, with objectives such as protecting the night sky, making cultural dissemination of astronomy, promoting this form of tourism, and promoting intelligent lighting and energy saving, details the foundation itself. Some examples. Through the website of the Foundation we can find numerous examples of environments with some of the certification modalities offered by this organization. An example of this type of certification is that of People or city citywith which they count Three populations in Spain: Hellín, Navarra; Fuente-Tójar, Córdoba and Navas del Marqués, in Ávila. Another important certification is that of Starlight tourist destinations“Visitable places, which enjoy very good qualities for the contemplation of starry skies” and protected from light pollution. This certification has assigned to very diverse placeslike Chantadam Galicia; the Monteibérico Region-Almansa Corridor, Castilla-La Mancha; the Costa da Morte, Galicia; or the Serranía de Cuenca, in Castilla-La Mancha. The list continues, but the modalities do not end there: the Foundation also has a list of “Starlight reserves“, Star Parks,”Starlight places”, Houses and rural hotels, Starlight pathsand even Starlignt camps. A booming business. The appearance of this type of responds to The growing importance of a booming economic sector. This is the intersection between astronomy and tourism, Astrotourism, a business in vogue but not within the reach of all corners of Spain: the heavens free of light pollution are an essential quality. Fortunately, that is something that is not missing, neither in peninsular Spain or in places like Canary Islands and Balearic Islands. The rural areas of the Plateau and the various Motañosa mountain ranges that run through the country offer a unique opportunity, for tourists and also for those who live in some of the most forgotten regions of the country.

Now you can get an iphone in liquidation from 249 euros, before the arrival of the new iPhone 17

by

For the first half of September, the Presentation of the new iPhone.

This marriage traveled four hours to an idyllic destination they had seen on Facebook. Upon arrival they discovered that it did not exist: it was ia

by

It has happened to us to be sailing on Instagram or Tiktok and that a video of a tourist destination that leaves us with an open mouth comes out. Tale landscapes, dream cities and incredible attractions. Is what happened to him To this marriage of Malaysia. They saw a video on Facebook where an impressive cable car in Perak came out, just four hours where they lived. Without thinking, they took the car and traveled more than 300 kilometers to destination only to discover that they had just fallen into a hoax. The video. It appeared in networks at the end of June this year and, although it has already been erased, it can continue to be seen in This link. In it, you can see a reporter interviewing tourists who are visiting the place. It is an impressive cable car that makes a tour of forests, rivers and has all kinds of attractions around it. In the video the location of the place is detailed: Kuak Hulu, in Perak, Malasia. The visit. Although the resolution is not very good, the video is quite realistic, but we already know that nothing that appears in it exists. We also know that at least two people believed it was real and traveled for four hours by car to go to know the place. The story became public when an employee of a nearby hotel told In your Threads profile that he had just hallucinated: a couple asked him about a cable car he had ever heard. “There is not much to do here, it’s very quiet,” he said. A hoax. The couple’s reaction was to insist on seeing the place, thinking that he was spending some joke. Then they went on to confusion. Upon realizing that the site did not exist, the woman wanted to “denounce the journalist who comes out in the video.” Finally they understood that nothing they had seen was real, nor the journalist, and left the place ashamed. The generational gap. We do not know the exact age of this couple, but according to the hotel employee, they were older. The lack of digital knowledge by many older people is a problem, from something as everyday as make efforts with the bank until Recognize what is AI and what is not. Some platforms like Instagram tag Made with AI, but is a small “created with AI” enough for people with less digital experience to detect it? With cases like this it seems quite clear that it is not enough. The garbage. We have spoken on several occasions about the ‘ai slop’ or the garbage that has flooded the networks; from Very unpleasant videos that want to break the algorithmsuntil fake crochet patterns that are sold as real. The garbage is flooding everything, Even ASMR videos What did you see before going to sleep are. Much of this content is clearly AI, but with the arrival of tools as I see 3 It becomes very difficult to distinguish the reality of AI. And this has done nothing but start.

Aemet warns of the arrival of a new Dana, and is expected

by

Just a couple of days ago, weather models They began to glimpse The possible formation of a new isolated depression in height, a Dana, on the waters of the Atlantic. The observations are confirming the expected and now the experts warn of the arrival of a phenomenon that is expected intense. Special notice. The State Meteorology Agency (Aemet) has issued a special notice for storms and intense rainfall associated with the newly formed Dana. The situation will affect the northern half and third this peninsular between tomorrow 11 and Saturday, July 12. What’s happening. At the beginning of this week, meteorologists proved that the Peninsula had been divided between two air masses, one to the north, under the influence of vaguades and a mass of cold air, and another to the south with anticyclonic time in which heat resisted leaving. The days have passed and but the apparent return of stability and heat has been just a mirage, at least for part of the country. The reason is the decoration of a Dana, an area of ​​low height pressures that is separating from the cold circulation of the north. This Dana is being formed to the west of the Iberian Peninsula and will soon arrive by the atmospheric circulation itself. What we can expect. Aemet’s special notice speaks From the arrival of “high adversity storms in the northern and third half of our territory, accompanied locally of large hail, very strong wind and very strong showers.” Tomorrow, Friday 11, they await us according to the agency storms that would gain intensity from the afternoon both in the Cantabrian mountain range and in the Iberian system, and that they would go little by little by moving north or northeast. These storms could lead to hail of size greater than 2 cm in diameter and showers that would accumulate up to 30-40 mm in an hour, in addition to “very strong” wind gusts. On Saturday 12, Aemet sees “likely” that the Dana is moving to the east, which would take instability to the west peninsular and, especially, to the northeast quadrant. Uncertainty. The forecasts They point out the probable arrival of this extreme but Aemet event warns of a certain degree of uncertainty. As they explain, the probability that the arrival of the Dana has storms and intense rainfall is “very high”, greater than 70%, but not total. As they detail, “the described scenario is quite likely, the uncertainty inherent to this type of disturbances makes it difficult to specify the areas where a greater impact will occur.” Uncertainty increases the more we move away in time, but the agency estimates that the Dana’s passage does not have major impacts from Sunday, day 13.
