China has a possibility to unseat Android forever. One called Harmonyos

by

Android supremacy on mobile devices is indisputable. So much that more than 70% of the world’s population uses a device with this operating system. The rest is configured by iOS and, in a tiny part, the rest of the operating systems. But there is a small fish starting to look at the surface: Huawei with Harmonyos. In Europe it is a minority operating system with hardly any presence, but Huawei’s commercial success in his native country He is achieving the unthinkable a few years ago: Harmonyos has surpassed iOS in China. After achieving this goal, the approach is clear: could Harmonyos be China’s weapon to completely displace Android? A little context. In case you don’t know the situation of Harmonyos, the quick summary is simple. In 2019 Donald Trump signed an executive order To veto any company that assumed “a threat to national security.” Huawei was one of them and, after the veto, Google was forced to suspend any type of relationship with the Chinese company. This left Huawei without Google applications and with an Android version without updating, Which was a debacle for the company both in Europe and its native country. While in China Google’s lack of services is not relevant, Huawei stopped having access to American companies components, facing a scenario in which they had to start building from scratch to be competitive again. Huawei’s response. From the first moment, Huawei was willing to face this situation. That same 2019 presented Harmonyosan operating system as an alternative not only to Android, but Windows, Wearos and even smart cars. If you do not let me use full android, develop a system for everything. The proposal took to arrive, landing first on PC and later on mobile phones. It should also be noted that, from the beginning, Harmonyos was an operating system focused on China. It was still based on Android and existing platforms, although with several modifications. In fact, the company’s telephones in Spain still have EMUI (Android). There is no operating system without application store, so Huawei developed its own ‘App Gallery’. Since its launch in 2018 (it was already the alternative store of Huawei before the veto) until today, it has become the third largest application repository, behind Play Store and App Store. The state of Harmonyos. Currently, Harmonyos is beginning to reach its sweet point with Harmonyos Next. An operating system created from scratch, without any code of Android, and focused on all types of technological devices. It is an ambitious objective that we have already begun to see fruits. He Avata 11Huawei electric car, use Harmonyos as an operating system. Mobile devicesthat sweep sales in China, too. Harmonyos is more than an operating system: it is a huge ecosystem that celebrates Huawei hardware, and has the potential to spread beyond the brand. Chinese hope to flee from Android. The million -dollar question is if Harmonyos has the potential to replace Android in China, and the answer is a resounding yes, but with nuances. China is a unique market, where Google applications and services have hardly any presence. This gives the system a significant advantage, although difficult (not impossible) to replicate. In fact, Huawei has already managed to migrate much of its user base to Harmonyos. According to company data, more than 300 million devices They are already using the operating system, which makes it one of the fastest growing operating systems in history. In addition, Huawei has been working in its own applications ecosystem, Huawei Mobile Services (HMS)which includes an alternative application store to Google Play, as well as maps, payments and cloud services. One of the keys to popularizing the system would go through trade agreements. Many trade agreements. Huawei needs to attract developers to App Gallery, and get a real competitor of Play Store and App Store. In other words, that a single popular app in your store is not lacking. After achieving that, it would be to enter conversations with large smartphones manufacturers. Given that in the Chinese house there are giants such as Xiaomi, Oppo, Realme or Lenovo, it is a plan that does not sound crazy.

A Polish called the police for a fallen tank from heaven. It is from a spacex rocket that rented without control in Europe

by

The second stage of a Falcon 9 rocket of Spacex rented last night without control over Europe, illuminating the sky of several Central European countries with flashes as they burned in the atmosphere. Not all the rocket disintegrated. This morning they found a deposit in Poland. Night show. From Germany, From Denmark, From Poland itself. They were not even 5 in the morning, but on social networks they began to appear videos of the Metal remains Burning with drama in the night sky of central Europe. Atmospheric resentments are a show that we are increasing 13.8 meters long by 3.66 meters in diameter. A tank fell in Poland. It is not usual for a Spacex rocket to resent without control, so it is even less common for him to do so in a place as densely populated as Europe. But the rocket did not disintegrate completely and part of the remains fell, without causing damage, on the outskirts of Poznań, a city of half a million inhabitants west of Poland. At 9:20 in the morning, an employee of an industrial plant He warned the police that an object had “fallen from heaven” in its facilities. It was a pressure tank coated with carbon fiber (COPV) identical to the one that appeared on a Washington farm in 2021. Trajectory of the reentry of the rocket on Europe according to astrophysicist Jonathan McDowell On that occasion, it was confirmed that it was A helium deposit of the second stage of a Falcon 9. The object, of a meter and a half of length, is pressurized to 400 bars and is capable of resisting extreme conditions, including the reentry. In the Washington farm left a crater of 10 centimeters deep on the earth, a sample of the speed at which he re -entered the atmosphere. It was a rocket failure. Spacex is the Ryanair of Space, the company that launches most rockets with a difference: two to three per week. Does this mean that we will have to go out with a helmet to the street? Not necessarily. Like most rockets (China has notorious exceptions), The second stage of the Falcon 9 fuel reserve to exorbitite on the ocean with a motor re -desence once the load is deployed. In this case, the remains that fell on Europe are due to a technical failure in the launch of the Starlink 11-4 mission, which He failed to readece his engine to exorbitar on February 2. The rocket spin around the earth to enter the atmosphere naturally due to gravity. He did it on February 19, 3:43 UTC, in a trajectory extended to Ukraine and that coincides with the remains found in Poland.

Catalonia is determined to lead the conversion and sale of the electric car. His great objective is called Madrid

by

It is fulfilled a month since aids to MOVES III PLAN For the purchase of electric cars they fall. Silence since then. From experience with what lived in other countries, the electric car needs Purchase aids If you want to gain ground. An ambitious, stable and lasting aid program is the one that has achieved that almost all of the cars sold In Norway, they are electric. On the opposite side, Germany has seen how Their sales collapsed After withdrawing the aid forced. Taking into account that Spain was costing to take off in sales, we run the risk of unplugged with this technology And take a step back in the penetration of this technology just now that brands begin to propose vehicles at more affordable prices, with options of between 20,000 and 30,000 euros. In the middle of all this context, the Generalitat de Catalunya has presented a project to reimprorate sales of this type of technology, which also depends on its own automobile industry. A plan that revolves around the electric car Last January 2025, plug and electrical hybrids added 11,358 units in Spain. Of these, 4,571 units were recorded in Madrid. It accounted for 40.24% of sales throughout Spain. The figure is far from any other that can shade. Catalonia is the Second most populous autonomous community From Spain and takes more than one million inhabitants to the Community of Madrid. Barcelona It is also the second largest city in Spain, only behind the capital. Despite this, in January they only enrolled 1,624 cars classified as plug or electrical hybrids. 14.30% of the total sales of the territory. Given this perspective, the Government of the Generalitat has presented a plan to reimpulse the sale of this type of technology. The project, as we said a few days ago, has a transverse perspective because also Electrify the motorcycle fleet. The final intention is to make the electric car industry the stone on which the future of the automobile market turns. To achieve this you want to attack points that are considered keys: Multiply by five the recharge points network available in the next five years. Loans for self -employed and companies electrifying their fleets. Electrify 90% of the fleet used by the Catalan administration. The intention is to dedicate 150 million euros to sow the Catalan land of electric plugs. You want to move from the current 9,000 load points to a total of 45,000 plugs available. As for loans, a credit line of 400 million euros will be established to facilitate access to this type of technology and try to eliminate the barrier from the equation price. During the announcement of the Project, the Generalitat Catalan emphasized the importance of maintaining the good health of an industry that in the region generates 35,000 people occupied in 10,300 companies. By turnover, automotive represents the third sector of Catalonia.

China has a shortcut called Morocco

by

Over time almost fulfilled, the European Union pressed the red button: Activate tariffs to Chinese electric car. With variable rates depending on the company, since the last days of October, all cars of this type from China have had to increase their costs (absorbed by the company or impact to the client), including those of European companies. To the measure, the manufacturers themselves have denounced the European Union before the Court of Justice of the European Unionwith the aim of eliminating this economic barrier that they consider unfair. The complaint has been submitted Byd, Saic, Geely and Tesla. The subject of tariffs is nothing more than One of the last chapters in the negotiation between him Chinese government and the European Union. Although these rates are applied, the agency has made clear its intention to maintain its conversations with the Chinese State and, in fact, did not charge the compensatory rights that have been applied from summer to the end of October. In addition, it has not imposed tariffs on plug -in hybrids. Explain you in your newsletter SAI (but auto insights) Weekly that everything indicates that it is a negotiating measure between both entities. The truth is that Chinese companies are offering their cars much cheaper than European manufacturers just when European regulations force this type of technology to skip a thousand millionaire fines. A shortcut called Morocco Since the application of tariff They aspire to gain market share. In that new strategy, Spain has taken a preponderant role. Our country is taking weight in the production of future electric cars for their low labor and energy costs compared to other European powers such as Germany or France. But, in addition, it also seems to be receiving the prize to turn their positions Regarding tariffs. Since they were applied, the Chinese state seems to have pressed to stop all investments in the countries where it was voted in favor of lifting these commercial barriers. In return countries like Spain have unlocked these (like the Catl factory in Zaragoza) and nations with special commercial treaties with the European Union are experiencing the growing interest of that Asian country. Turkey, for example, is one of the countries where Chinese interest has perched, with Byd studying the construction of a plant in a key geostrategic place. The other great country where China has put its eyes is Morocco. And investments leave no doubt. Morocco is a very attractive bridge for the Asian country. It has a Commercial Treaty that would allow you to skip tariffs on your electric manufacturing their cars on African soil. These investments, which first They have arrived in the form of kits That they are finished in Europe, they are still studied by the European Union that has to define whether or not they are enough to save the commercial barrier. It is, in fact, the way of working that has Omoda in Barcelona and the one that Leapmotor has raised for its production in European soil. The production of vehicles in Morocco is not new either. In fact, in 2023 he surpassed China, Japan and India as Main exporter of vehicles to the European Union. His low labor costs has turned Morocco into the perfect environment to produce cars such as Dacia Sandero o Stellantis’s light quadricycles (Citroën Ami, Fiat Topolino…). This appeal It wants to be exploited by China in car production but also with everything that revolves around the electric car. Among those new business opportunities is Battery production. Chinese official media say that producing in Morocco is 50% cheaper than doing so in Europe, they collect in Political. That savings has been the one that has encouraged Chinese companies such as Cngr Advanced Material, through a Moroccan subsidiary called Cngr Morocco New Energy to invest in a gigantic battery production plant. The project was completed with the signing of a investment of 2,000 million dollars For the same. They calculate, from the company, that production will reach a million electric cars every year, which is 70 GWH capacity. To have a better idea, The plant that Catl has designed for Zaragoza plans to provide 50 GWh. It is not, much less, the only project that comes in this regard. Chinese batteries manufacturers Hailiang and Shinzoom They announced An investment of 450 and 460 million dollars, respectively, in the industrial zone Tanger Tech. Although it is officially called “Cité Mohammed VI Tangger Tech”, so much has been the Chinese interest in the area that already call it the “Shanghai of Morocco” . The port of Tangier has become a Key space for the Moroccan government. Its proximity to Europe makes it a doubly attractive place: manufacturing on its ground is cheaper and moving the product to the European continent is also very little expensive. Investments in the electric car in Morocco are already calculated in 10,000 million dollars among which the phosphate exploitationkey minerals for the production of batteries and which Morocco has huge deposits. “For a long time, Europeans invested in Morocco to take advantage of cheap and unknic labor. Today, this workforce is not simply cheap, it is also competitive and is well trained. The Chinese have realized that they Interesting Investing, “said Mehdi Laraki, president of the Morocco-China Business Council in words collected by the medium Telquel.

The Law of AI of the European Union He entered into force On August 1, 2024, and yesterday the European Commission published a statement in which the uses and prohibited practices of AI. These “prohibited practices” are detailed in the text of the law of AI. Specifically, In its article 5. The objective is to try to cover a series of cases in which AI can try to interact with people, both through consumer applications and through physical environments. European regulation defined four risk levels For AI systems ranging from the minimum risk (spam filters) to unacceptable risk, considered systems as a threat to safety. Among the unacceptable activities are the following: Ia for social scoreallowing to create risk profiles based on people’s behavior. Manipulators capable of affecting people’s decisions in a subliminal or deception. Which exploits vulnerabilities such as age, disability or socioeconomic level of users. The one who tries to predict whether people will commit crimes based on their appearance Ia who uses biometry to infer the characteristics of a person, such as their sexual orientation Which collects biometric data in real time in public sites for police security purposes Which records and tries to infer users’ emotions both in the workplace and in academic institutions Which creates or expands facial recognition databases collecting online images or through security cameras Companies that violate this regulation will face fines of up to 35 million euros or up to 7% of its annual income The previous fiscal year, the figure that is greater. And those fines affect any company, regardless of where its headquarters are installed. Last September 100 companies signed the IA Pact of the EU, a voluntary initiative to promote the application of the principles of the law of AI. Among the signatories were giants such as Amazon, Google and Openai, and all promised to identify potentially qualified AI systems as high risk. There is nevertheless Some exceptions to those prohibited uses of AI. Thus, for example, the AI ​​law allows security agencies to use certain biometric data collection systems – like our face – if these systems help make “directed searches” for for example victims of kidnappings or avoid imminent threats to People. That would validate uses like the one who Recently we met in Madrid. The countries of the European Union have until August 2 to designate which authorities will monitor this market and guarantee compliance with the rules of the AI ​​Law. The question is the impact that this will have on the availability of AI functions in the EU. Since there is talk of high -risk systems, that impact should be minimal, but The rest of the regulatory framework -with The DMA as the protagonist— Yes propose an important obstacle so that in the EU we enjoy the latest advances in this field.

Sheinbaum says that the Gulf of Mexico will continue to be called like this despite the change of Google in the US.

by

The Mexican president, Claudia Sheinbaumsaid Tuesday that The Gulf of Mexico will continue to be called like this despite what Google has replaced its name for ‘Gulf of America’ To follow the orders issued by the American president, Donald Trump. “The Gulf of Mexico is still a gulf of Mexico“, Said the Mexican ruler at her morning conference. Sheinbaum minimized the implications of Google’s decision, which explained on Tuesday in the social network X that renamed the Gulf in its maps for the United States with the argument that is the current official name of that area in that country. The president showed Trump’s executive order that indicates that the name change is applied only on the American continental platformbut he reiterated that for the rest of the world he is still a gulf of Mexico, a name that appears on maps since the seventeenth century. “It is very important because that is what he signed, The United States continental platform, then let’s not speculatethis is what is signed by President Trump, ”he said. Claudia Sheinbaum, president of Mexico.Credit: Isaac Esquivel | EFE Trump fulfilled on his first day in office, on January 20, with his warning of calling ‘Gulf of America’ to the Gulf of Mexico for considering that Mexico is “governed by the cartels” of drug trafficking and is “a very insecure place” .

This is how this silent (and advanced) system called XProtect works

by

Malware is not an exclusive threat to PCs. Macs can also become infected. For this reason, there are different third-party security solutions, such as Bitdefender, Intego, Malwarebytes or Avast, among others. What not many people know is that Apple computers have, for more than a decade, had a integrated antivirus called XProtect. XProtect It has been running silently in the background since it landed on Mac OS Unlike Windows Defender, there are no icons in the menu bar, nor do we have an application to manually perform system scans. How does XProtect work on macOS? The Apple ecosystem has a variety of protection measures, and XProtect is one of them. If we focus on macOS, the Mac operating system, Apple tries to avoid the malware from the App Store. The company reviews the applications so that no malicious software lives in its store, but let’s be honest, we don’t always use the App Store. Computers have always given us the freedom to install any compatible external software. To address the issue of external threats, Apple has a certification mechanism, where developers who do not use the App Store to distribute their applications can obtain a trusted certificate for macOS. Apple does not take this task lightly. Scans the applications and grants the certificate only when it cannot find known malware. Once this instance is passed, developers receive a certificate that they can attach to their application so that the target system can verify it, even when it does not have an Internet connection. At this point we find another of the protection measures. This is Gatekeeper, which looks for that certificate in the application that the user is trying to open or install. If the program does not have the corresponding certificate, the system warns users that they are trying to use software that cannot be verified. Since not all developers go through the certification processwe can ignore that message to use the application in question. Sometimes we will have to allow the installation of applications from the App Store and well-known developers from System settings > Privacy and security > Security > Allow applications from… XProtect is responsible for preventing the execution of malicious software. If for any reason the protection measures mentioned above have been violated, XProtect is responsible for preventing the execution of malicious software for the first time or detecting malware that has been executed on the computer. This integrated antivirus uses YARA signatures that are automatically updated periodically. XProtect comes into action at three key moments: when opening an application for the first time, when modifying an application in the file system, and when updating security signatures. If you detect known malware, blocks it immediatelynotifies the user and offers the option to send the software in question to the recycle bin. XProtect’s scope does not end there. Apple has improved the system to address problems that certain infections can cause. Once malicious software is removed, the built-in antivirus continues to scan for threats using a behavioral analysis engine. Of course, it does not have the ability to restart the computer. How do you update macOS built-in antivirus? XProtect updates automatically. However, you can buy if the system is installing the updates automatically. To do this, click the apple icon in the toolbar and then go to System settings > Software Update. Then tap the information icon under Security Answers. In the Automatic Updates category make sure the Install security responses and system files switch is turned on. So am I completely sure now? Although macOS has a solid security system, it is important to clarify that no system is 100% secure. In the world of cybersecurity it is often said that what is sought is to increase the level of difficulty for cybercriminals. And we achieve this in many ways. Integrated system tools are only part of this. The security features of the applications themselves, our security practices and, if necessary, third-party security tools also come into play. The level of difficulty varies according to the needs of each user. For example, for a long time iPhones and Macs can activate Isolation Mode. This is an extreme solution, but it is a good example of what it means to put higher barriers. This mode limits the functionality of applications, web pages, and certain system features. As a result, we obtain a more protected system, but much less useful than in its standard configuration.

Trump has made it very clear that he wants to conquer Mars. Now NASA has the enormous problem of not being called SpaceX

by

Trump made just one space promise during his inauguration speech, but it was no small feat. The Martian dream. Between cheers and jumps of enthusiasm of Elon Musk, Donald Trump pointed out Mars as new “manifest destiny” of the United States. The newly inaugurated president promised to take astronauts to the Red Planet and plant the American flag in Martian soil. Trump stated: “We will pursue our manifest destiny to the stars, launching American astronauts to plant the flag on the planet Mars.” His words are not coincidental and have a clear influence, but they seem to mark a change of priorities for NASA that leaves the future of the Artemis lunar program. The influence of Elon Musk. “We’re going straight to Mars, the Moon is a distraction,” wrote the CEO of SpaceX two weeks ago. No one quite understood the scope of that tweet, since SpaceX has a very important contract with NASA to build the lander for the Artemis III and IV lunar missions, but now that message resonates on Capitol Hill. There, President Trump focused on Mars. It could just be a rhetorical statement (slowly, but surely, we have to get to Mars before China does), but with Elon Musk as a key ally, the new government could really be preparing a radical shift in astronautics strategy. The current Artemis program. It was precisely Trump’s first term that shaped NASA’s current lunar program. The then administrator, Jim Bridenstine, managed to put the United States’ return to the Moon on track with an architecture that combined NASA’s internal developments (the SLS rocket and the Orion spacecraft) with commercial spacecraft from private companies (SpaceX’s Starship HLS and the lunar module Blue Moon by Blue Origin). In turn, Bridenstine promoted a series of unmanned lunar missions and the creation of the Artemis Accordswhich already has 53 signatory countries, for international cooperation in future missions to the Moon, including the construction of a lunar base, the commercial exploitation of the satellite and everything that comes after (Mars, comets and asteroids). The Moon is a cruel lover. Artemis is not at her best. Manned missions have been delayed for problems on the Orion ship and delays in Starship development. Furthermore, the insane cost overruns of the SLS rocket have put a good part of public opinion against the current architecture of the program, which could be reconfigured with the support of SpaceX’s new Starship and Blue Origin’s New Glenn rockets. To make matters worse, the first two commercial missions associated with Artemis (CLPS‑1 and CLPS‑2) failed to reach the Moon or lie down when landing on the moonwhich has precipitated the cancellation of other more important missions such as NASA’s VIPER rover. But until Trump’s speech, there was nothing to predict that the Artemis program would be in danger. Is it really? From the Moon to Mars. Until now, NASA’s plan was to establish itself on the Moon throughout this decade and the next (or at least in the Gateway lunar station in orbit with the satellite) to prepare for the jump to Mars in the 2040s. Prioritize the Red Planet I would leave three scenarios to the foreseeable new administrator from NASA, Jared Isaacman: A reduced lunar program, without aspirations to create a large lunar base like the one proposed by the ILRS program led by China. Thus, the United States would continue in the race to put the first woman on the moon without stopping to focus on Mars. In exchange, he would cede lunar land to his opponents A bifurcated program with parallel lunar and Martian missions that do not throw away everything that has been developed so far. It would be the logical step if NASA’s budget were unlimited, but with the huge investment what the lunar program entails, adding a Martian program seems impossible A total redirection to the conquest of Mars. Following Elon Musk’s vision: the Moon is a distraction from the ultimate goal of become a multiplanetary civilization. Even with a majority in Congress, it is the option in which giants such as Boeing, Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, and even New Space lose (Blue Origin has several lunar contracts). It seems complicated for congressmen to agree on a clean slate, but it is not totally impossible How would the United States get to Mars? There would be a public tender, but one option immediately comes to mind. NASA could adopt the SpaceX Mars program as your own. Elon Musk said SpaceX planned to launch five uncrewed Starships to Mars in 2026 and, if they managed to land, the first crewed mission to Mars in history in 2028. The experts agree at a crucial point: a mission with astronauts to Mars in the next four years is technically impossible if it is to be done with guarantees, since the scientific and technological challenges are monumental. But there were also many people convinced that Trump would not win the election again while Musk bet money that yes I would.
