The Ave to Andalusia seemed a perfect alternative to the car this summer. Has encountered a problem called Toledo

We are on July 14, summer trips to the south of Spain multiply. High speed had to offer a quick exit to the sea from Madrid, connected to Malaga by trains of up to three different companies. But, in what we have been from the month, the problems have multiplied until thinking that the usual is already suffering some type of delay. Catastrophic misfortunes. In case their own problems were their own, this weekend Spanish high speed has suffered more and more delays. Even for reasons that have nothing to do with the trains themselves. Catalonia and suspensions or delays caused by heavy rains They are a good sample of this. But the worst part, again, takes Andalusia. The Autonomous Community has had a first look in July to forget. After 15 days in which the delays have been a constant, yesterday, Sunday, July 13, A fire next to the tracks Among the Cordoba municipalities of La Marota and Santaella cut the circulation again. In total, only Renfe already registered 10 modifications at his schedules. In the afternoon, at 5:49 p.m. they pointed out that The circulation would gradually restore. Own problems. The fire next to the tracks has only been the drop that has filled the glass of a weekend that had already registered problems on Saturday. An incidence in the Adif facilities again caused delays in trains that were directed on the way Andalusia or Madrid. Again, a good handful of trains recorded delays of more than an hour on the ferrous roads of the Andalusian region. The incidence in the facilities was found in the vicinity of La Sagra (Toledo), where at the beginning of July the biggest Ferroviaro problem was recorded in these first two weeks of the month. 13 hours arrested. Julio began his journey in summer in a very worrying way in southern Spain. Thousands of passengers (it is estimated that more than 16,000 people) were affected by a problem in the lines that extended for more than a day. The problem caused a collapse in the high -speed line that resulted in the suspension of services and The stop (without assistance) of more than 13 hours of a train that ended up meeting the night. Over there, An old woman had to be treated For respiratory failure. Many reproaches … Since that stop happened in high Andalusian speed, the government, Adif and Ouigo have been sent Cross messages for the problems caused. The origin of the fault He was in a disconnection of an ouigo train with the signal recognition system, mandatory to continue operating. His stop forced to stop the trains that circulated below. The cluster of vehicles caused an over -line over the line that resulted in a fault of a Renfe train. The latter did not unwill for a problem in their own systems that force disconnection to avoid breakdowns in case of over -overdraft. Ouigo has not rejected his involvement in the incident but he did defend himself from The words of María Jesús MonteroMinister of Finance and Vice President of the Government, to whom open microphones captured her criticizing the company. The French blamed Adif that Insphorastructure had to endure unforeseen Like these. … And few solutions. After the chaos of the first days of summer, Adif announced that he would carry out an emergency action on the line and that he got to work to identify the weak points of the Andalusian connection. A movement that Ouigo pointed out how insufficient. Those actions They were going to be carried out in La Sagra. Yes, exactly at the same point where the over -the end of the month of July was produced that ended with all the circulation stopped for more than 13 hours. There, ADIF plans to perform an emergency action by changing the location of various elements of the catenary. Two weeks later, trains stand up again in the same place.

Russia is using a tactic that clashes with war codes. It is called a double impact, and after the drones the worst comes

In 2025 we have seen changes and adaptations in the offensives of Moscow. Shahed drones have continued to be The spearhead of the invasion, but to them have joined other tactics that from kyiv have been denounced as “implacable”, such as that undetectable sabotage bomb through the mobiles of LUkrainian teenagers. The latest: “double impact” offensives. Calculated terror. In recent months, Ukraine has witnessed the intensification of A Russian tactic particularly brutal: the calls “Double-Tap” attacks or double impact, a strategy that consists in attacking a certain area (frequently a civil objective) and hitting the same place after the arrival of emergency equipment, volunteers and medical staff. This technique, described by the United Nations as “Ruthless”, or ruthlessis being observed on multiple fronts by Air Defenders and Ukrainian lifeguards, who relate How drones are initially used to inflict damage, and minutes later, cruise missiles fall on the same objective when there are already rescue personnel in the place. Relentless. The result not only multiplies the victims, but also seeks to break the morals and paralyze the response capacity of the Ukrainian authorities. According to testimoniesthis form of attack has been used near Kyiv, Bila Tserkva, Járkiv and Jersón, with registered impacts on recreational, residential or strategic infrastructure. Adaptation to the stage. The doctrine behind these attacks It is not new. Russia already She was accused to use the same technique during his Intervention in Syriain support of the Bashar Al-Vasad regime. What makes the difference in Ukraine is the combination of drones and missileswhere the former act as baits or advanced that attract lifeguards, and the latter ensure total devastation. Oleksiy, subcomandante of a Ukrainian mobile air defense unit, He describes it as an intentional use of multiple weapons “to intimidate the population” and neutralize any immediate response capacity. While some cases have involved only drones, others have combined the two vectors with lethal efficacy, as evidenced in a Attack on a complex Recreational near Kyiv in June, where the second explosion hit just when emergency teams tried to contain the fire. Moscow’s silence. For its part, Russia has not responded to requests for information on these incidents, and their Ministry of Defense He has sent to general statements of the exterior spokeswoman, Maria Zakharova. Meanwhile, surveillance images and testimonies on the ground seem to confirm the existence of a recurring pattern. An example provides it A shared recording From the outskirts of Kyiv, where the buzz of a drone is heard followed by an explosion, just when rescue personnel were in the area. Although the total frequency of this type of attacks is still difficult to estimate, the accumulation of cases suggests that they are not accidental, but part of a systematic strategy. Analysts of the Institute for the Study of War They have affirmed that the Russian forces “are most likely pointing intentionally against Ukrainian civilians and lifeguards”, in an effort for demoralize and paralyze The institutional response. Defensive situation. This trend coincides with a General deterioration of the Ukrainian defensive panorama, aggravated by the Temporary suspension of critical armament deliveries by of the United Statesincluding anti -aircraft ammunition and other essential equipment. The decision, adopted within the framework of the policy of containment of American strategic reserves under the presidency of Trump, could have serious consequences for Ukraine’s ability to defend its cities and positions on the front before the Russian offensive. Last week, Moscow launched about 550 ammunition In a single night against Ukrainian territory, a reflection of an increasingly intense air campaign. The Foreign Ministry of Ukraine He has warned That any delay in western support will only be emboldened to Kremlin, while experts warn that lack of backup will accelerate advances Russians on the ground. Under fire resilience. It We have counted: In this context of vulnerability, Ukrainian President Zelenski has held conversations with his American counterpart to try to restore air defense shipments, declaring that both countries “will work together to reinforce the protection of our skies.” However, uncertainty persists, and every day without elevation The risks of collapse defensive in certain regions. Meanwhile, the international community observes with concern the use of prohibited tactics or morally reprehensible by Russia, including attacks on civil areas seconded by A second lethal blow. Beyond the battlefield, these methods question the commitment of the international order to humanitarian law, and demand an answer before the exceptional becomes a norm.

If you have the feeling that everything is more expensive than ever, it is not your imagination: it is called “Zillow effect”

Digital platforms promised to make everything easier and cheaper. Actually, they have created the opposite phenomenon: The “Zillow Effect” is taking practically everything What we play online, whether digital or not. Why is it important. When any transaction is digitized, the demand is triggered because it eliminates friction, but the supply remains constant. The result is usually the same: prices go up and competition intensifies for buyers. The panoramic. The effect began in the real estate sector with Zillow in the United States, A real estate platform born in 2006 which allowed anyone to consult the value of their home. Now it extends to university candidates, employment searches, appointment applications, concert tickets, vacation destinations and even second -hand markets. If you can buy it with a click, it is probably more expensive than before. In detail. The mechanism is simple: Before, requesting place at a university required physical effort. Get forms, send them by postal mail, go to pay fees. Now, with a button you can send your application to twenty universities. Result: the best receive many more requests, they can be more selective and the competition to access goes up to the same pace that their access barriers are lowered to the application. The same happens in the labor market: For candidates, there is a paradox: getting a job becomes more complicated. The contrast. There are two large categories of products here: Products with elastic offer. They are the ones that can be manufactured in greater quantities. Clothing, processed food, smartphones. They have been cheaper. Products with limited offer, or by regulation or by their own nature. Housing in good areas, places of universities, more desirable jobs, very attractive sexual couples. They have fisher, financially or symbolically. Between the lines. Great technology benefit from this problem, so they have no incentive to solve this problem. More demand is equivalent to more data, more engagementmore commissions. The case that gives name to this effect has a perfect example: Zillow earned money both if the houses were sold as if notbecause he charged for teaching them. AND Your platform fired your visibilitywith the aforementioned consequence: same supply, greater demand … upward prices. The threat. The Zillow effect has as first victims local and imperfect markets where opportunities could be found before. There are no longer the secret restaurants, virgin and quiet holiday destinations, or jobs that only a few knew. Google Maps, LinkedIn, Instagram or YouTube have democratized knowledge, but have also concentrated demand. An example: Instagram and ‘Tourism of Likes‘. And now what. A possible solution would increase the offer where possible, such as building more housing or creating more university places. Another would artificially limit digital demand. But there are not too many incentives for it. The digital world has connected us in this century, but it has also put us to compete against many more people for the same limited resources. And there is only a great winner: the platforms. In Xataka | 34 futuristic predictions made in the past: erroneous, successful and crazy Outstanding image | Xataka

Chinese dolls of sinister smile are breaking it in Spain. They are called Labubu and they are already falsifications and scams

Rabbit ears and a very sinister smile. So are the labubu, some small collection dolls that, following the wake of successes like Sonny AngelThey are invading everything. After its success in China, the fever for these collection dolls has left their borders and has arrived in Spain. And with it the inevitable is also coming: falsifications. Context. Labubu are an original creation of the Hongkonese artist Kaising Lung, marketed by Pop Mart, which also markets Other similar collection toys lines. These are small stuffed animals with a keychain hitch, which are usually hung from the bag or backpack. When we buy one, several designs appear on the side of the box and you can touch any of them. This surprise effect and the gamification of the purchase have caused them to become an object of desire for collectors around the world, getting to pay authentic fortunes For them. Viral success. Although there were long before, the Labubu boom occurred in 2024. In China they generated the whopping 3,000 million yuan (about 355 million euros). 2025 is even better For these little elves. Only in China the growth is 100%, but in the rest of the world it would already be in 480%. There is a key factor in this global success: there are more and more celebrities and influencers who show their labubus in public. The first Celebrity that popularized them It was Lisa, from the K-Pop Blackpink group. Now they are hanging from Rihanna, Dua Lipa, Madonna or Kim Kardashian bags. The fever arrives in Spain. We said there is an invasion of Labubus and Spain was not going to be less. At the end of last year They opened a store in Barcelona and the tails to buy one of these dolls were kilometer. In the official store they are exhausted and, although there are other stores that sell Labubus in Spain, the same thing happens: almost all They have hung the ‘out of stock’ poster‘(Yeah, Also Amazon). With this panorama, the sale platforms are being filled with Labubus, with an increase in searches for 856%. Falsifications and scams. Stock -free stores and demand for clouds are the perfect ingredients for counterfeiters to fall in action. According to a Kaspersky reportit’s already happening. Fraudulent websites that sell counterfeit figures have been created and, in addition, they steal data from the users they buy. They always recommend buying official distributors, but since in Pop Mart Spain there are hardly any stock, many users go to Wallapop, Milanuncios or Vinted. There are many available, many of them original, but here another problem is presented: the price. Normally a Labubu costs between 15 and 30 euros. Taking advantage of scarcity, many vendors They swell prices. Precedents. Collecting Figuritas is no news. A few years ago we lived the Funko Pop Fever. In 2019, the North American company He presumed to have tripled its value, Although a couple of years ago we knew that their finances did not happen their best moment. Labubu fever takes advantage of the wave generated by a more recent phenomenon: The Sonny Angelsthose Japanese dolls that many people had glued on their smartphones and that were also a problem by The amount of falsifications that circulated. In ambiguity is success. Although similar to the Sonny Angels, Labubu are pioneers in one thing: it is the first time that China “colonizes” Europe with a cultural and consumerist phenomenon of this type. According to This Chinese journalist, The secret of success would be precisely that Labubu does not seem something Chinese. Its ambiguous design makes it more consumable by a massive audience. The corporate image of its parent company, Pop Mart, is also more ambiguous or “less China”, something that according to this journalist is intentional and would have a goal: “There is less likely that there is a violent reaction if Beijing does something wrong.” And China became cool. They told it in This Economist articlewhere they explore the change of image that China has experienced since the West in recent years. A clear indicator is the success of Chinese cultural products such as The movie Ne Zha 2or video games like ‘Genshin Impact’ and ‘Black Myth: Wukong‘. Tiktok’s success, his leadership in industries such as The electric car or the drones They have contributed to improving the image of the country outside their borders, something that coincides with a growing United States Negative Vision Under Trump’s mandate.

It is a common phenomenon and is called GTP

Do you remember when, years ago, stories circulated that used to consider urban legends – until it experienced them – about dreams in which we played tetris or doom, and that were so real that, sometimes, they got to be confused with the periods of vigil? A name came to be given, The tetris effectand the new generations of games and apps, more and more sophisticated and realistic, have taken that phenomenon one step further: after the Tetris effect, the GTP arrives. What is the GTP. Are the acronym for Game Transfer Phenomenathat is, phenomenon of game transfer, and consists of a series of involuntary experiences that players have after intense game sessions, where elements of video games (from images and specific sounds to such concrete aspects as object inventories) are overlap with our real life perceptions. Its characteristics were described for the first time about a decade ago by Angelica Ortiz de Gortari In a doctoral thesis. His inspiration was his own experience: visualize products in a supermarket as if he were using a video game telescopic sight Some of his symptoms. They are very varied: visual perceptions (see life bars or the game of the game) and auditory (soundtrack, special effects), automatic impulses (executing conditioned movements, such as pressing buttons), recurring thoughts and behaviors inspired by video games (speaking involuntarily with concrete games), tactile or kinesthetic sensations (perceive the control in the hands when there is not there) … player can see health bars on people’s heads, or feel the need to grab everyday objects as if they were Power-ups. A frequent experience. It is not about An isolated or unusual phenomenon. Studies in which More than 6,000 players have participated They indicate that most have experienced GTP at least once. And in Another analysis that was carried out in Chinabetween 82 % and 96 % of participants in a survey reported that they had experienced some form of GTP. This BBC article Check the phenomenon and mention Ortiz de Gortari, which describes that, for those who experience it, the GTP can be “disconcerting and potentially dangerous”, although, being relatively natural and simple to explain, most of the time it is passenger and has no greater significance. But why does it happen? On the one hand, video games demand automatic and conditioned responses, which can then be repeated in real life. And of course, the very high immersive capacity of modern games multiplies this possibility of transfer. It is a phenomenon comparable to catchy songsthat we repeat in our head without being able to forget them, but the GTP has a plus of intensity because the brain areas that manage it are linked to action and impulses, not to passive attitudes. It will go to more. Experts such as Ortiz de Gortari affirm that with devices such as virtual reality helmets, phenomena such as GTP could increase exponentially in the future. Without a doubt, it is an area that Science considers that it should be examined thoroughly: Not only because video games are the main form of entertainment globally, but because it delegates, to a large extent, to what extent our minds are vulnerable to increasingly aggressive technological advances.

Iran has found the antidote to the Israeli iron dome. Is called Fattah and overcomes the speed of sound

Iran found A weakness In systems of Israeli defense. His offensive was focusing on the use of unconventional threats marked by Shahed drone swarms whose combat loss was very small compared to the missile cost to tear them down. Israel’s response was swift: fronts to unmanned devices He launched the Sarafcombat helicopters. Now the conflict has entered a new “hypersonic” phase. A hypersonic missile. On June 18, Iran marked a milestone in his confrontation with Israel to launch Your ballistic missile Hypersonic Fattahcapable of reaching at least match 5 speeds (and estimated, According to Iranbetween Mach 13 and Mach 15). This projectile, solid fuel, guided with precision and equipped with a mobile nozzle in its second stage, He managed to cross Israeli antimisile defense systems in what was defined by the body of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard (CGRI) as a “turning point” in the Operation “True Promise III”already in its eleventh phase. Not just that. Iran He presented the Fattah As a symbol of the end of Israeli aerial invulnerability, stressing that its deployment represents a direct blow to the dissuasive capacity of Tel Aviv. The initial reports indicated FIRE AND STRUCTURAL DAMAGES in areas of the center of Israel as a direct consequence of the impact. Characteristics and innovation. The Fattaah missile represents one of the most ambitious bets of the Iranian Aerospace Program. It was presented officially in 2023 as a national technological revolution. With a scope 1,400 kilometers And a maneuvering capacity both inside and outside the atmosphere, this missile was designed to effectively avoid conventional defensive systems. In that sense, its design is key, which incorporates A re -entry vehicle maneuverable (Marv), which allows you to change direction in the final phases of your trajectory to evade aerial defenses. Your solid fuel engine gives you an immediate response to the launch and your advanced guide system, as we said, next to an orientable thrust nozzle, allows you to execute unpredictable maneuvers that hinder your interception. Unlike traditional missiles, its trajectory can vary dynamically during the flight, which makes it a practically unattainable goal for air defenses that depend on predictable trajectories. A fattah missile National symbol. The missile is much more in National Key. In fact, he was baptized by the leader himself, Ayatolá Ali Jameneí, who also made him a propaganda symbol With the phrase “400 seconds to Tel Aviv” printed In Hebrew on a banner hanging in Tehran. During the Mass attack of October 1, 2024, several fattah-1 missiles already They had been thrown Against Jerusalem, but its recent use in the current context marks the first time that on the current conflict is incorporated tactically. The weapon also It is described by the body of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard (IRGC) as the “Israel’s beating.” The “hypersonic” club. The news has other readings. With the deployment of fattaah, Iran becomes In the fourth country in having and using hypersonic technology, adding to Russia, China and India. Each of these powers has developed Your own models with different characteristics in terms of launch platform, autonomy, type of propulsion and guidance mechanisms. The Iranian variant stands out for its Structural simplicity (solid propulsion in two stages) and its apparent tactical effectiveness. Plus: The ability to overcome multiple layers of Israeli defense during this phase of attacks positions Iran as an increasingly sophisticated actor in the field of ballistic deterrence. The Israeli answer. If the response to the Shahed were the Saraf, the Israeli reaction to the attack with hypersonic missiles has not been waiting. In the following hours, Tel Aviv launched a new OLADA DE BOMBARDEOS on military objectives in Iranian territory, intensifying a dynamic of cross retaliation that already adds seven consecutive days. Among the whites attacked They were included Five military helicopters at a base in Kermanshah, a land-land missile production installation, a war manufacturing center and a centrifuged plantwhich shows that Israel seeks to weaken both conventional capacity and Iranian nuclear infrastructure. The explosions felt even In the Iranian capitalevidencing that the Israeli campaign has expanded its spectrum of action and now points to nerve centers of Persian military power. Strategic implications. The last of the legs to analyze has to do with how the board changes in regional dynamics. The Fattah irruption In the battlefield it introduces a new destabilization factor in a complex conflict already. Beyond military symbolism, its effective use undermines confidence in Israeli defensive systemsconsidered among the most advanced in the world. This vulnerability could force Israel to reassess its air defense architecture and, at the regional level, it could alter the strategic calculations of other actors that until now considered unfeasible to directly challenge the aerial power of Tel Aviv. In addition, the fact that Iran can deploy missiles of this class from within its own territory gives it a significant operational advantage, reducing the need to depend on regional allies to execute long -range attacks. More technological and asymmetric. As In Ukrainethe crossing of attacks between Iran and Israel, more and more sophisticated, illustrates the evolution of modern conflicts towards scenarios where technological deterrence is A determining weight. While Israel maintains the Air Supreme Thanks to its fleet of F-35I and F-15 fightersas well as its operational experience, the appearance of weapons Like fattah Reduces its strategic advantage margin. Iran, limited in its conventional Air Force, has opted to compensate for its inferiority with the development of ballistic missiles and Advanced dronesin a wear war in which each new system can redefine the momentary balance. The Operation “True Promise III”therefore, it is not only a reprisal campaign, but an essay for a new Iranian doctrine based on speed, precision and unforeseen penetration.

I have taken less than a week to deactivate the star function of iOS 26. The filter called is to kill flies to guns

I’ve been from the night of the WWDC 25held on June 9 using the beta of iOS 26. This is the largest redesign of the Apple operating system in years, and the first real approach to how the company will implement its local artificial intelligence in native applications. One of the most commented functions was that of Anti spam protection. A system that comes to rival some already existing, like Google’sbut in a more aggressive and less intelligent way. So much so that I had to deactivate it just a week later. How the Apple filter works. Within the Apple Telephone App, from iOS 26, there are new ways to filter unknown numbers. Filter incoming calls: the incoming calls of unknown numbers are filtered. Whoever makes the call has to identify and, once we have that information, we can choose to pick up or not. Send all calls from unknown numbers to the voice mailbox. Automatically silence all calls of unknown numbers. The second and third option are quite aggressive (in addition to the second one was already present in previous versions of iOS). The great novelty is in How Apple Applies Ia Upon receiving calls, since it is Siri who attends the person, not us. The first day, the first notice. I receive many calls a week, more than I would like. Mainly, of messaging companies that contact me to know if I am at home. I analyze smartphones in Xataka and the different parcel companies call practically daily. From numbers that I don’t have saved, of course. It soon realized that they were calling me from a parcel company, and the delivery man was not answering the questions of Siri. How do I know? For how this new feature works. Thanks, don’t hang up. When someone with an unknown number calls us, Siri asks him to identify and explain the reason for the call. It is not necessary to be too explicit: it is enough to say “I am Ricardo, it is important.” But here there are two issues. The first is that the iPhone notifies discreetly when the filter is active, with a minimum vibration that we will not notice. The second is that, if the person does not identify, the phone does not start sounding until 20 seconds. A filter that does not filter so much. Yeah The call is urgentit is more than likely to hang. It is just what happened to me this week, both with the deliveries and with a call that I received from my health center. After a robot (Siri) ask you what you want, if you are not willing (or you cannot) answer at that time the question, it is difficult to be 20 seconds waiting for the phone to begin to sound to the other person. I saw perfectly how the delivery man hung before he started sounding and, after asking him (I had to call him later), he told me that he did not know if it was some type of fraud. Normalize that Siri takes it. It will not be easy to normalize that Siri takes the phone. It would be necessary for practically all Apple users to activate this function, and that users understand that every time you call an iPhone, you have to go through Siri. The most important factor of the urgent call is also lost: immediacy. A accident cases in which they call you with unknown numbers, medical consultations … No one likes calls of unknown numbers, but filtering them all, regardless of whether they have advertising purposes or not, is to kill flies to cannon. Google makes it much better. Google Filter suspicious calls of fraud or spam has been filtering years indicating precisely that the calls are spam. If we call us a number for commercial or fraudulent purposes, Google uses its AI model to analyze in the cloud where that number comes from. In the event that we are not clear who calls us, we have nothing but to filter so that the Google assistant does exactly the same thing that Apple does: ask the interlocutor who he is and the reason for his call. It is a practically infallible filter for commercial and fraudulent calls but in which at all times we are finding out whether or not they call us.

Volkswagen was the infiltrated brand that reigned in China. Until it was rolled by a train called byd

China is eating the European car. Whether electric, hybrid or combustionit is increasingly common to see them in the streets despite the Tariffs imposed by the European Union. There are already A good number of available modelsto which we will have to add those of brands that have not yet finished landing. But that volume increase does not occur only in Europe: it also occurs within its market. And if we see the evolution of car sales in China, there are some absolutely demolving data that can be summarized in a Volkswagen who led with iron hand and could not see the great wave of byd. National upward production. It is evident that China has put the batteries producing cars. Taking the data From the Chinese Association of Automobile Manufacturers, in 2024 31,282 million vehicles were produced and 31,436 million were sold. This represents an interannual growth of 3.7% and 4.5% respectively. This has allowed China to maintain its position as the largest automotive market in the world, something that has held for 16 years. New energy. Within those figures, the production and sales of Nev vehicles, or New Energy Vehicle stands out. It is a term that It encompasses the electric, hybrids and electric with hydrogen fueland the production and sales relationship in 2024 was 12,888 and 12,866 million respectively. It represents an increase of 34.4% and 35.5% compared to the previous year and 40.9% of all sales of new vehicles in the country. The Byd sorpasso. To further break down the figures, 60% of that total sales of NEV vehicles correspond to the electric ones, being a sector in which a national brand has established itself at a meteoric speed: Byd. In this chart with the top 10 of sales of new vehicles per manufacturer we can appreciate how Byd did not paint anything in 2020 and, from 2021, he experienced a vertiginous ascent: China Oem #HorseracePay Special Attention to Byd & Geely!#AlwaysBecharging ⚡️⚡️⚡️🇨🇳🇨🇳🇨🇳Source: #Cam pic.twitter.com/4obu2vnj5q – Felix Hamer • Electricfelix (@electricfelix) June 2, 2025 No matter the metric that we follow. Month by month, the data of the Gasgoo platform lets us see that ByD leads in sales by brand or by manufacturer. They are figures that we could take from any month of 2024, but focusing on December, we can see that Byd is far from their main rivals: also Chinese Chery and Geely: December by Oems December by brand Byd 509,440 units 482,652 units Chery 283,903 units 174,430 units Geely 210,419 units 105,077 units Volkswagen can’t lose. In the graph we see that there is an absolute prominence of Chinese brands that They eat toast to Japanese like Honda or Nissan. However, there are two foreigners They stay well. On the one hand, Toyota, which although in third place, maintains consistent sales since 2017. On the other, the Volkswagen Group. According to CAM data for manufacturers, from sales of 4,192,356 vehicles in 2017, they go to 2,808,578. It is a monumental fall in an environment in which other brands are maintained or grow. Byd is the one that has stolen the first position and, although they remain in second place, you have to see what happens in 2025 with Groups as powerful as Geely. The German group is very involved in the Chinese market and in recent years it has launched plans to “copy” your work methods And even his approaches, Like extended rank electric. All with hope not to stay in a very important market for thembut not to lose more land in the European. IMPORTANCE OF EXPORTS. Because the idea of ​​Chinese companies is to continue tightening not already inside, but out of its borders. Saic, owners of Mg, They have the world’s largest ro-ro to bring their cars to international markets. It has capacity for 9,500 cars per trip and Byd also has a huge bureaucoches and the intention of add up to your fleet. As we see in Shanghai Metal Marketsince 2021, car exports have increased year after year. In 2024 they were 19.3% higher than in the previous period, reaching 5,859 million units, 433,000 were by, assuming a year -on -year growth of 71.8%. As we say, you have to wait to see the photo of 2025 already entered in 2026, but the trend of both sales and export of Chinese cars is up How will European brands respond And yes, despite all Byd is showing signs of weakness How can your latest sales aim.

It is called “Pescetarismo” and the infant Cristina already practices it

Leaving meat overnight to become a vegetarian is not simple, especially when culturally the meat is so integrated. Changing that implies much more than crossing an ingredient of the plate. Therefore, for many people, making the leap into a meat without meat requires a midpoint. A bridge. That path is touring the Infanta Cristina, following the example of her mother, Queen Emerita Sofia, reducing her meat consumption, but without eliminating fish. That increasingly common choice is known as pescetarism. Without meat, but with fish. This diet is based mainly on plant foods, fish and shellfish, but excludes red and bird meat. On the other hand, some people also choose to incorporate eggs and dairy products, as is the case of the infant as He explained Week magazine. Behind this diet. This type of food combines the antioxidants of a vegetable-based food with complete proteins and omega-3 fatty acids of the fish, According to Women’s Health Mag. In addition, vitamin B12, a nutrient difficult to find in a strict plant diet, which can be covered with only one ration of fish. In a Harvard Health reportDr. Frank Hu has stressed that fish also provides vitamin D, iron, selenium and zinc, all essential for the proper functioning of the organism. To this is added the growing evidence that this food pattern is related to a lower risk of chronic diseases, such as type 2 diabetes, dementia, depression or heart pathologies. Not everything is perfect. One of the main risks of starting with a Pescetarian diet is the excessive consumption of mercury, a pollutant present in large and long -lived fish. Therefore, from Women’s Health Mag They have recommended Eating saliscos and salmon seafood, sardines, cod and clams. But there is no other option? Yes, there is another modality called flexitarism. Both share the same objective of reducing the consumption of meat and bet on a more plant diet. However, here the big difference enters and how pescetarism has been observed, it is more defined: it completely excludes red meat and birds. On the other hand, flexitarism is more flexible, since it does not eliminate any food group, but it limits the consumption of meat voluntarily, According to Mayoclinic. It is an ideal option for those who seek to improve their diet without imposing strict restrictions, and prefer to adapt it according to the context or their personal habits. A growing trend. More and more public figures adopt this type of food. From Harry Styles to Victoria Beckham and Danna Paola, the list of Pescetarians is increasing. The reasons range from health to sustainability, through ethics and animal well -being, as He has collected Week magazine. What began as a punctual choice between celebrities begins to be reflected in the consumption habits of a part of the population. Pescetarism is consolidated as an intermediate option within the spectrum of diets that reduce or eliminate meat, in a context of growing interest in more sustainable food models and plants based.

The owner of a Tesla Model and set out to come to Everest with his electric car. And he had a great idea called gasoline

There is an obvious reason that continues to wear the sale of electric cars in Spain: the alleged lack of loaders. In Xataka We have already tried that it is not so much a lack of loaders as a evident invisibility of them and one lack of trust in your reliabilitywhich causes doubts that they have thought or might think of making the leap. On our trip From Berlin to Madrid aboard a Tesla Model 3 We verify that Europe is very nourished by chargers of all kinds, from rapids that allow recharging while you eat to the slow ones to use while you make night, passing through the ultra -graphs that on the service roads put the car in tune in a few minutes. But, as much as we want, we talk about Europe and not all places have the same facilities. You just have to look at the United States where recharge network It is much more scarce and unreliable than in our continent, which is delaying the adoption of technology. So, can we travel anywhere in the world with an electric car? Could we match the trip that this influencer is making for Carry your Fiat Marea to Japan from Spain? Could we, for example, go to Everest by electric car? Common sense tells us no. But it’s just that, common sense. A tesla, a generator and the roof of the world Common sense, beyond the manida phrase that it is the least common of the senses, is also fluctuating. What for some may seem an impossible mission, for others, simply, it is as easy as taking appropriate measures and adapting to each situation. That is why the owner of a Tesla Moder and did not see any problem in taking his car and putting Rumbo to Everest. If on the road I could find the electricity assortment, it was the least, it would manufacture it. As? Obviously, with an electric generator moved by gasoline. The story is told in Carnewschina where it is explained that the owner of the electric car created its own version of “extended autonomy.” To do this, he installed an 8 kW gasoline generator at the rear of the car. With him underway, he could fill the Tesla Model battery and a power similar to that of a domestic plug, specifically 3 kW. In the middle they point out that at that rate The Tesla recovered 19 kilometers Of autonomy every hour and that, full of the tank, the cargo of the car could be sustained for nine and a half hours. That is, at full capacity the generator could deliver about 180 kilometers of autonomy to the car during, for example, a plugged night. Only in this way has Lhatse County, Tibet region very close to Everest that is already 5,300 meters high. The adventure and its result can be seen in this video where the car owner tells his experience and shows how the system works. Although it is understood why this can be called Tesla Model and a “extended range” car or “extended autonomy”, we must bear in mind that it does not work as a vehicle that implements this technology to use. Simply use the electricity generator as a mobile plug that has to be fed by a fossil fuel. An extended rank electric car is one that is mostly used as an electric and takes advantage of gasoline in a very punctual way. This works, for example, a Mazda MX-30. In this case, it is the car itself that functions as an electricity generating station. The gasoline engine generates electricity that is sent to the battery and nourishes the electric motors that are the ones that move the car. When operating in a concrete regime of revolutions per minute, the gasoline engine always works in its most efficient range and, such as electric motors that move the wheels, although the combustion engine is in operation the touch of the car is still very similar to that of an electric. These types of cars are widely used in China because extended rank electric are considered New energy vehicles (NEV) and are classified at the same level as electric cars even though, in the background, it is plug -in hybrids and can emit CO2 and any other contaminating particle typical of a gasoline engine. In Spain, these cars also have zero dgt emissions sticker as electric since their autonomy is greater than 45 kilometers. But, in addition, they can receive the same aids as MOVES III PLAN that an electric car as long as they exceed 90 km of completely electric autonomy.
