by

On January 20, 2025, the CEO and founders of the main technology companies in the US staged their support for Donald Trump, beyond the one they had given a few days before contributing a million dollars By head on your visit to Mar-a-Lago. Since that day, Elon Musk’s fortunes, Jeff Bezos and Mark Zuckerberg shot as they had never doneobtaining huge profits in stock markets. A month and a half later, The stage is very different For these millionaires, who chain one day after another of Free fall contributionsthe S&P 500 index falling 6.4% and the Nasdaq technological collapsing 4%. A downturn of 209,000 million dollars. Trump’s tariff policies have created enormous uncertainty in the markets before The fear of an economic recession self -imposed by constant threats of the president to its neighboring countries and its economic partners. That stock market debacle is wreaking havoc in the fortunes of the main flag bearers of Donald Trump. According to estimates of Bloomberg Based on the price of the companies that founded and direct, the joint losses of the millionaires who support Donald Trump during their investiture would exceed 209,000 million dollars. Elon Musk: The Tesla Suflé is left 148,000 million. The electric car manufacturer won 98% After the electionscatapulting Elon Musk’s fortune until Beyond 420,000 million dollars. With the stock indices in a state of panic for the shadow of an economic recession, its price left another 15% yesterday adding losses of 127,000 million dollars of capitalization. That leaves Elon Musk as one of the main affected by the bloodbath that are suffering the quotes of the actions of the company he directs, aggravated by the New descents in sales internationals of their cars and protests for their measures in front of Doge. Jeff Bezos is left 29,000 million Amazon. Jeff Bezos had his most and less with Donald Trump during his first term to the story of his newspaper and for the Use of postal service Amazon of the US. For this second term, the millionaire has served Donald Trump the Washington Post’s opinion column And he is working on his differences with respect to Use of the postal system. According to Bloomberg, Amazon shares have fallen 14% since January 2025, so Jeff Bezos would have lost about 29,000 million dollars in estimating his fortune. Serguéi Brin and the siege of Google. Google’s co -founder was openly disagreed with the policies of Donald Trump’s first mandate. However, he did not have the slightest problem to dinner with the new president-elect to Mar-a-lago after the elections, and present his respects in the form of a million dollars to cover his investiture. Since January 2025, Alphabet actions have fallen by 7%, largely driven by the Failure to comply with estimates of quarterly income, although the pressures of the Department of Justice have also influenced him to divide your company. As a founder, Brin has 6% of the company, so a loss of 22,000 million dollars is estimated in just over seven weeks. Mark Zuckerberg surfs the wave. Mark Zuckerberg is demonstrating to be an excellent strategist when save from stock market. Facebook’s founding millionaire did not hesitate gamble to moderation and equality policies in your company to win The sympathies of President Trump. However, it has remained enough away from it so that it is others who receive the collateral damage to their policies. Meta rose 19% its price since mid -January. However, the quotes of the Magnificent seven have collapsed in the last days, dragging a 20% drop from its maximum of December. That has generated a 5,000 million less hole in the estimation of Mark Zuckerberg’s fortune. Something that It doesn’t seem to worry in excess. Bernard Arnault: It rains on wet. Bernard Arnault was the richest person in the world for a good part of 2024 and is a personal friend of Donald Trump. However, bad results in sales of LVMH luxury productsmade his fortune lose several positions. That did not prevent him from going next to your family to the inauguration of Donald Trump. Since January, LVMH had recovered 20% of its price, but as of February, LVMHY’s price has progressively left its profits. One of the reasons: the tariffs between 10% and 20% that Donald Trump had announced For European luxury goods. As a result, the fortune of the French tycoon is estimated at 5,000 million less.

Given the tendency to make the finest phones, these manufacturers bet on something very different: the “Tocho-Telephones”

by

When Android manufacturers turn to increasingly thin devices “Get the Galaxy S25the still unknown Galaxy S25 Edge or the fine folding OPPO FIND N5– It’s because now It is not necessary to sacrifice too much battery capacity. However, the market offers phones that follow the opposite path, from less popular firms than those mentioned. The MWC 2025 has shown us A very disturbing robotnails Vision Pro Chinese of 200 dollarseven a very useful headphones loading caseand no less striking: Mobile with thermal chamber, night vision and even with a projector To wear a portable cinema in your pocket, or rather, in a backpack. Raudales battery and exclusive extras of these brands On these lines you can see the Ulefone Armor 27 Pro, an android of a brand not so unknown that in addition to protection with military certification adds a night vision chamber. As is. In the demonstration, I could see the interior of a completely dark box perfectly. It will not be a phone for the mass market, but it will be of interest to some professions. These types of telephones, the so -called rugerized, must do A great concession: sacrifice design and thickness to fit a large battery. That by the way in this case is not as exaggerated as in other mobiles that have been seen. In the case of Armor 33 Pro, his night vision chamber is also infrarroja. Add a second screen on the back despite not being a folding, and a large speaker of 118 decibels. And the 34 Pro armor, because simply rides a projector, a style rear Gaming, and A 25,500 mAh battery. There is almost nothing, it cannot be said that they are not innovative. From Armor 29 Pro, they say it is useful to see animals on camping nights: its thermal chamber carries the abundant “AI” label. It also has a Small rear panelmore oriented to consult the time instead of using smartphone applications. BlackView, another of the usual ones in this market segment, draws attention to its N6000 se, a roaring terminal, but retains the “compact” on its screen strange diagonal today: 4.3 inches. For the rest, it does not stand out in any of its specifications because it is very cheap: around 150 euros. Another of the most extravagant Apex 1, with Walkie Talkie function: 22 kilometers range and huge 20,000 mAh battery. It also has smartphones with thermal chamber in its catalog, which in its case is monitored from a third -party application that gives information about temperature at different points of the image. Flir puts the solution to all these manufacturers with thermal cameras, hence the link of the application, which by the way, presented some small error. Mention for Fossibot, a firm dedicated in the same way to ultra -resistant phones, with a difference: they give more importance to the aesthetics of your teams. The one on the right, the F112 PRO It looks a lot at the rear to Huawei pure 70 ultra. The camera module is practically a tracing. Again and one more year, the MWC leaves us the more exotic mobilesbetter with the passage of generations as the most conventional. They are, without a doubt, niche products that have their market, and we will not deny that they are authentic Swiss knives with not so common tools.

If the industry wants to survive, you must bet on the new IPS

by

There is no one who understands fans: before State of play With which PlayStation started the 2025 ads, the most consistent rumor about what we would see was that we would have the first images of a hypothetical remake/remaster of ‘God of War’, a long -awaited project because it is impossible to access the classic games of The franchise on current platforms. Or maybe something of ‘Resident Evil 9’. In short, nobody talked about “I hope they announce that game that no one has heard and that will change my life.” The public wants franchises, sequelae, remakes. Fritanga It goes with the admission ticket. We like more or less, this industry is built on reformulation. It has all the meaning, given its characteristics, based on the evolution of technology: every year we live a generational change in hardware that allows us not only to enjoy new games, but to recover the old dresses with new clothes. The remakes and REBOOTS They are the order of the day: What is PlayStation 5 but a PlayStation 4 reboot with improvements? Why didn’t we live with the games? The death of the average series. We already talked about medium -sized budget games for ‘Space Marine 2’a game that completely perspires the spirit of those releases that have always been in the industry and were paralyzed around the generation of PS4 when the budgets began to shoot. From that moment, the games were divided into AAA (or at most, AA Strong) or in products developed from Independence. There are still a variety of budgets, of course, but a puncture in sales can defend a study without too much effort, so you have to choose to minimize risks and go to the always common denominator. The culture of the franchise. It is not only in video games where we are seeing it. In times when culture “consumes” and video games, movies and series are “content”, it is not strange that we reach such linguance scenarios as the 2024 box office, where The ten most successful films were sequelae or remakes. Something like that happens with video games: people do not want new ideas, because for eighty euros they prefer a title from which you know what to expect and have few surprises, yes, but a few guaranteed satisfactions. A state of play play. The first State of PlayStation Play for 2025 was, of course, full of sequelae, remakes and reboots: dlcs of ‘Stellar Blade’ and ‘Lies of p‘, remake from ‘Days Gone’, ‘Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater’, New ‘Onimusha’, ‘Monster Hunter’, ‘Five Days At Freeddy’ and ‘Borderlands’, among many others. And yes, we launched here You live to a new ‘shinobi’but we will agree that we cannot talk about being an overexploited franchise, in addition to a Brawler 2D is a completely niche product, and the ‘Shinobi’ brand is an excuse. You can’t say the same of a new ‘Sonic Racing’. The best, the unknown. As I say, it is perfectly understandable that PlayStation again announced this type of products, and even that the public is disappointed when a remake of a game of three generations is not announced. But what is indisputable to me is that the chicha of the event was in the games that presented new IPS: the Roguelite Very personal ‘Saros’, the explosive futuristic blockbuster’ Mindseye ‘, the insane mixture of’ doom ‘and’ cyberpunk 2077 ” metal eden ‘, the amazing design of giant grotesquerías in’ Tides of Annihilation ‘, the visual exquisiteness of’ Dreams of Another ‘, Cuquismo Stop Motion From ‘The Midnight Walk’, the still enigmatic apocalypse of ‘Hell is us’ … Everything for everyone. Of course, among these releases there will be good, bad and regular games, but without discussion, all the images that made me think “we will have to try it” belonged to new IPS. The daring, innovation and thrust were there, demonstrating that it is not that the living industry mired in a crisis of ideas, but that the vices of it themselves are those that put the sticks on the wheels so that they do not leave the grocerying games of Originality and innovation. There is the future we have to point to. Header | PlayStation In Xataka | ‘Rollerdrome’ is one of the best 2022 games. You can’t buy it anymore

His new great bet are advanced humanoid robots, according to Bloomberg

by

After getting rid of 5% of its workforce at the beginning of the yearMeta has created a team destined to develop its next great ambition: humanoid robots driven by artificial intelligence (AI). The news comes from Bloombergwhich states that the company led by Mark Zuckerberg will make a “significant investment” this new project. The sources point out that androids will be able to interact with users and will help them perform daily tasks. Goal aspires that its technology helps overcome current barriers where robots have certain limitations to wear a glass of water without scattering, placing them dishes on a shelf to clean them or bend clothes. A team within reality labs Instead of creating a new division, the giant of social networks has decided Metaversoglasses Quest 2, Quest 3 and Quest Proas well as smart glasses Ray-Ban Meta. The initiative will be led by Marc Whittenwho until recently served as CEO of the Cruise Autonomous Vehicle Company owned by General Motors. He previously led the Amazon entertainment devices division and worked for 17 years in Microsoft, where he was an engineer of the original Xbox team. According to the aforementioned medium, Meta seeks to focus on the underlying sensors and software of robberies, including an artificial intelligence system. It is an attempt to use part of the technology developed for its virtual and extended reality products. The glasses, for example, have multiple sensors to, for example, eye tracking. Neo Beta, a 1x robot The use of technologies that were born in other products is not new in the technology industry. Optimus de Tesla, for example, is based on a variety of advances derived from the autonomous driving technology of the firm’s cars. It is not only on software, but also of processing chips, batteries and sensors. More than manufacturing humanoid robots, goal seeks to consolidate as the reference technological ecosystem in this area, providing key components. The production and marketing will remain in the hands of other companies, and for this he already has conversations with China Unitree Robotics and the American figures AI. We will have to wait to know how this new initiative will evolve, but we can advance that goal will not be alone. There are currently many other companies that are betting on humanoid robots. In addition to those mentioned are 1x, Fourier Intelligence, Boston Dynamicsamong others.

Estrella Galicia has decided that the star ingredient of his new beer is Valencia. And that is a risky bet

by

Yesterday, by surprise and before The suspicion of not a few, Estrella Galicia presented The one that would probably have been the most extravagant (and risky) product of its extensive catalog, which by the way are already including beers With perclabes either peppers: A BRIK of Special broth For Valencian Paella. It sounded crazy. And it was. There is no such broth. Nor will exist. What the Galician company is planned to launch is a “special Valencian edition” of its beer, something that announces almost on the eve of the Valencia failures. Beyond what the Galician company does the movement says a lot about where the beer sector walks. Paella Estrella Galicia broth? Sounds weird. And it is logical because it is. Yesterday Galicia surprised his own and strangers announcing a “broth for Valencian paella” (sic) Through its official profiles of Instagram, X and LinkedInin which I include even photos of the product, in whose container it could be read in great ‘Estrella Galicia’. The announcement was replicated in networks and there was a good handful of media that echoed the launch, clarifying In some cases that they had tried unsuccessfully to confirm the news with the company itself. They did not get it. And there was a reason. Click on the image to go to Tweet. NO BREATMENT, SPECIAL EDITION. It sounded like a marketing campaign. And there have been no surprises. It was. Estrella Galicia has confirmed it today through the same channels, with A video Shared in networks in which the cake uncovered: “Yesterday we launched our broth for Paella Valenciana and you put us to broth. Quiet, it was a joke.” The stitch goes with thread and in the same piece they take the opportunity to announce the product that they intend to launch: a beer ‘special edition Valencia’. Wrapping in tradition. What did the broth for Paellas come? Why yesterday’s message? Was it only a hook to gain visibility? Yes. And no. The campaign has served Estrella Galicia for something else: in addition to effectively multiplying the repercussion of the launch (that of the new beer, not the broth Fake) has allowed him to emphasize the leitmotiv of its commercial strategy, the basic idea of ​​its product: tradition. The Galician firm wants to reinforce in the Valencian Community. And curiously he wants to do so associating himself with the image of local culture. “This broth (that of Paella Estrella Galicia) has never existed. We would never do anything like that because, as you, we understand the value of our recipes. And here is our only secret ingredient is to respect the ingredients,” ensures the brewer in the video with which he announced his new Valencia 2025 edition. Click on the image to go to Tweet. Valencian, why? In summary: Estrella Galicia associates its image to the defense of tradition in a market, the Valencian, in which the bottles of the Rivera Children’s Corporation have already been worked on an important hole. In 2023 The provinces It echoed A study which revealed that, although in the territories close to the region, consumers opt for Mahou, star of Levante, Amber or Estrella Dam, the favorite beer of the Valencians was the one made by a company from the other end of the country. The question that leaves its launch is … What is special and Valenciana the special Valencian edition? The company does not clarify it. Is limited to ensuring That the drink will be “a tribute” to the passion of the community through the paella, but without going into details or deepening how it will elaborate or get it to differ from the rest of its catalog, beyond the labeling. Barrels … and maps. The star campaign also talks about something else: to what extent the brewer is a market played and distributed in Spain. A few months ago Datacentric elaborated A map of favorite beer brands by autonomous communities that demonstrate the clear (and pronounced) differences at the territorial level. In the Peninsular Center, Mahou reigns, Cruzcampo does it in Andalusia, in Aragon it is amber, in Catalonia Estrella Dam, in Murcia stands out Estrella de Levante and in much of the rest of the country Galicia makes it star. Beyond the preferences for reasons of historical and cultural roots, the weight of the Galician company at the state level does not surprise. If Star Galicia has highlighted for something over the last years it is his aggressive marketing strategy. His bottles have ended up to Cristina Pedroche and Chicote during New Year’s Campanadas. Even of the influencer Chiara Ferragniwho a few days ago posed with a bottle For the 28.7 million followers on Instagram. Click on the image to go to Tweet. The importance of figures. Campaigns such as Valencia also tell us about something else: an industry, the brewer, in full expansion and has been looking for new margins towards which its market widen. Although alcohol consumption is experiencing deep changes In Spain and distancing Of young people and frequent drinking intake, the beer sector has excelled in recent years due to the efficacy of its strategy. How has consumption evolved? The Statista tables They reflect that the total volume of beer consumed in Spain grew in a practically sustained way (with the impasse of the pandemic) between 2012 and 2023, following a opposite trend to that of the per capita intake. Statista sample Also that in 2023 in Spain each person drank on average about 56 liters of beer. There are two less than the previous year, but still far exceeding the average marks of (at least) the last decade and a half. Employers’ data Cervecera are also interesting: in 2023 it found an increase in consumption of 2.84%, although that growth was sustained by foreign tourism. Without it, he estimates that he would have fallen 3.53%. That percentage basically explains by the closing of bars after the pandemic and changes in the habits of the Spaniards, which at least in … Read more

The United States also had a plan to jump into the electric car. Is willing to dismantle it and bet on gasoline

by

When we think on the way to implement the electric car and point to Europe as a great architect with measures such as a prohibition from 2035 that now, It seems that it is in the airmany times we forget what is happening in the rest of the world. In China, it is evident, The State has put all the meat on the grill to move to the electric car and, along the way, try to lead an industry (or at least, be relevant) in which they were disappeared outside their borders. In Japan, on the contrary, Everything is committed to hybrid and electric sales are almost testimonial. But what happens in the United States? On the other side of the Atlantic, in the United States they barely bought 1,301,411 electric carswhich means a market share of 8.1%. A low figure that is marked by a VERY PORFFICIENT CARGERS NETWORK that delays its adoption and, at the same time, A lower fuel price than Europewhich Reduce the gap between the cost per kilometer of gasoline and electricity. However, the country has also taken steps to favor the electric car and, ultimately, cause this technology to occupy a large part of the market. As? Pressing manufacturers, of course. Pressures that Donald Trump now wants to disassemble and that is about to see what consequences it has on the market. The United States had a plan Europe is not, much less, the only region that presses car manufacturers to move to the electric car. Yes, the decision to prohibit combustion engines from 2035, the new active emission regulations since this month of January that forces us to electrify much of the fleet and the objectives for 2030 are not, much less, subtle However, in the United States they also had their own plan. The country opened the subsidy tap Under the mandate of Joe Biden. It was to reward with juicy tax advantages to those who produced their cars in the United States. And also those who, partially, did it in Canada or Mexico. Was known as Inflation reduction law. To these tax incentives aid for the purchase of electric cars were added. If the vehicle had been produced under the premises of the previous law, the buyer could receive up to 7,500 dollars If it was a new electric car or $ 4,000 if it was used. But also Another threat was waiting on the horizon. Joe Biden’s government wanted the average consumption of cars sold in the United States not to exceed 3.9 liters/100 km from 2027. In 2032, the average should be reduced to 3.56 liters/100 km, figures In both cases that would force a severe electrification of the fleet. All this aspires to demolish the new government of Donald Trump. The chosen man is Bernie Moreno who aspires from the United States Senate to end the tax aids to purchase, Relaxate emission obligations to manufacturers and prevent states like California, who has assured that will continue delivering aid to purchase If from the state government they retire, can act independently. In Bloomberg They point out that Moreno’s agenda does not have them all to get ahead. The economic environment highlights that it needs the support of the entire Republican group to take their plans forward and that some senators can be contrary to the idea because in their own states there are factories or planned productive plants of electric cars. To all this we must add the impact that the scheduled tariffs can have to the vehicles that arrive from Canada and Mexico. Although despite a first attempt They have put them in pausethe intention of the new president of the United States remains to tax 25% the products that come from there. This would mean, in accounts of Bloombergmore expensive each unit in 3,000 dollars. The measure is especially worrying for General Motors, which exports to the United States from Canada and Mexico 40% of the cars you sell In the country. The company, however, says that it will not transfer its production to the local market unless it is guaranteed that the measure will be extended in the long term. The same assures from BMW, which They will invest 800 million dollars in a plant in Mexico. In it New York Times They also point to the car market as one of the great affected by these tariffs. In this case they estimate that large vehicles and trucks can become up to 10,000 dollars for each unit sold. “Most of this increase will be assumed by consumers and concessionaires,” says Patrick Anderson, CEO of Anderson Economic Groupto the newspaper. The big problem that tariffs present is that nobody seems to be able to determine how much time they will be active. “Car parts are products that require months or years to be equipped, validated and tested before being incorporated into a vehicle. Simply They cannot be replaced overnight“, assures al New York Times Linda Hasenfratz, president of Linamar, producer of parts for vehicles. In its opinion, it is impossible to transfer the industry in such a short time and, at the same time, the product is expensive to make the product of North America an anti -competitive space which will reduce the production of cars. Toyota and Honda (with a production that exceeds million units each in Canada) or Stellantis, which exports a third of its RAM to the United States from the neighboring country, are other greatly harmed. However, manufacturers such as Volkswagen do seem to be valuing very seriously transfer part of their production to the United States. In fact, relax emission regulations and the threat that they would have to sell their products at a much more expensive price in the country is giving reasons to the group to Transfer there part of the production of Porsche and Audiusing Volkswagen electric cars plants that now work at half a gas due to lack of demand. Eliminate tax incentives to produce electric cars … Read more

In full desert, Saudi Arabia is preparing its next great energy bet with the help of a partner: China

by

Saudi Arabia is facing a fiscal deficit Due to the expensive investments in projects such as The Line, which are part of their 2030 vision to diversify its economy. However, one part compensates for another, and that is that the Saudi country is focused in covering everything with solar panelsbut it has not taken into account until now where it could store energy. Short. Saudi Arabia has officially connected the largest energy storage system (Bess) in the world in Bisha, province of ‘Asir. The project has achieved a milestone in the country’s strategy due to a 500 MW/2000 MWh battery system. The operating company is Saudi Electric Company and uses advanced technology supplied by ByD. A larger initiative. The project, called Bisha Bess, is part of a broader initiative of the Arab country to further strengthen your renewable energy infrastructure. The nation is looking for more than half of its energy to come from renewable energiesso you have seen in storage the necessary component for this transition. Saudi Arabia has found that the batteries provide flexibility to the network and allows the integration of intermittent energy sources such as solar and wind. Apart from being part of the National Vision 2030 Plan, Bisha Bess is part of different large -scale storage initiatives. In an ongoing tender, the list of 33 prequalified bidders was published in early January and revealed that Masdar, Acwa Power, EDF and Totalenergies compete for 15 -year storage service contracts. 122 storage units. The Chinese company byd have prefabricated the 122 units, each integrates a 6MW energy conversion system (PCs) along with four iron and lithium phosphate batteries (LFP) batteries, each with a capacity of 5,365MWH. The design is modular to optimize space, improve system integration and minimize failure points. Desert construction. Although the batteries were supplied by the Chinese company byd, the project was carried out by a consortium formed by State Grid Corporation of China and Alfanar Projectswho were in charge of engineering, equipment acquisition and installation construction. The installation, located in an extremely challenging desert environment, has presented significant difficulties, such as high temperatures and frequent sand storms. To deal with these obstacles, the engineers perfected the installation techniques and optimized the start -up processes, ensuring the reliability of the long -term system. If you can’t with them, join them. This famous phrase can be attributed to the Saudi kingdom, who has thought about China. At the time he began to enter this race for the renewables, Arabia Saudi began to great. However, in the field of Megaestructures and renewablethe Asian giant has no rival. Although the Arab country is developing different projects in renewables, others that also integrate clean sources such as the city of Neom, is not having the expected success. However, there is a sector where you could compete with China: nuclear energy. The kingdom has the ability to Extract and process Uranium, which would position him as a key actor.
