The cheap mobile was seriously injured in Europe. The energy label can advise the coup de grace

by

Today, June 20, 2025, it is a before and after for those phones that are sold in Spain. From this date, every manufacturer who wants to distribute their new products in Europe will have to add The energy label in its box. It is an effort at European level to guarantee compliance with Regulation on Ecological Designaffecting mobile phones, wireless landlines and tablets. In addition to forcing manufacturers to introduce this label, changes relating to the support years arrive They will have to give to every new mobile. These changes in the design, software and product life of the product paint well. But the question is who is going to pay the duck. What changes. From now on, manufacturers have to introduce the new energy labeling in every mobile that they want to put on sale. In it, they are collected data related to the energy efficiency of the samereliability in free fall, autonomy measured per cycle, supported battery cycles, Water and dust resistance protocols and repair index. In addition to informing about ecological design, manufacturers will be obliged to make draft changes throughout the chain process: from how they manufacture the phone to What happens to him with the guarantee time. The updates. Smartphones manufacturers will have to guarantee five years of updates (dry updates, not mandatory version jump) for each and every one of their phones. It is something that great manufacturers such as Samsung, Google, Honor, Xiaomi and Motorola They were already doing with some of their most recent mobiles. The key is precisely in that “some.” Each system update, however small, entails: A team of active software engineers dedicated to the project Quality control processes (internal tests, Google certifications to meet the requirements of each update) Operator certifications in the event that the phone is distributed through a third party Keep the ota infrastructure alive Costs that, in the case of low and medium -end devices, disappeared after the two years that used to be updated. Duplication support will entail an additional expense to companies on devices that leave tight margins: a device of less than 100 euros updating for five years does not seem the best business. And this is just a part of the cake. The new manufacturing standard. The EU focuses on the manufacture of the device. Manufacturers will be obliged to be more resistant to falls, scratches, splashes resistance, and batteries that promise a minimum of the 80% of its total capacity after 800 load cycles. Similarly, spare parts must be guaranteed for at least seven years since the product stops selling. Each and every one of the necessary components to repair the phone must be available to surrender within five to ten days. In summary. Consumers are going to win in two pillars. We will have better phones in the market. We will be able to inform ourselves in a single view of the quality in the ecological design of each of them. The problem is precisely what. Manufacturers will have to support five years. Manufacture, distribute and guarantee spare parts for seven. Introduce better batteries. Create phones more resistant to falls and scratches. Ensure compliance with splash resistance protocols Who pays it. In Europe we are buying increasingly expensive mobiles. So much so that there are more users buying phones of more than 800 euros than users buying mobiles of less than 200 euros. In fact, one of the main reasons why shipments in Europe fell into the first quarter of 2025 has to do precisely The fall in the input range mobile demand. The lowest volume in this segment in the last decade. This segment is precisely one of the most affected will be seen by the normative change: mid -range devices (strip between 399 and 799 euros, according to consultants) and superiors already met a good part of the demands of the European Union. The big question is whether manufacturers will try to absorb these additional costs through the margin in more profitable ranges, or if economic ranges will face slight increases to continue fighting for positive yields.

We have cheap dough chatbots, and ultra -premium products for the elite

by

A 200 euro mobile normally does everything you need. A mobile of 1,000 euros simply makes it faster and better. A 25,000 euros car takes you perfectly from one place to another. But experience is different and better in a 60,000 car. Contemporary economy has taught us how life can work at two speeds. And with AI is happening exactly the same. AI at the balance price. Yesterday Deepmind announced The availability of Gemini 2.5 Flash Lite, a reasoning model “for those looking under cost and latency.” It is not Google’s most powerful model, much less, but it is one thing: cheap. Costs Between three and six times less than its standard model, Gemini 2.5 Flash, and that makes more than ever a clear trend. Welcome to the McDonalization of the AI. Since the AI ​​models began to be marketed, we were seeing how we had a two -speed AI. On the one hand, free or very cheap chatbots –even local– With “minced meat” models for the big masses. On the other, the superpotent and capable chatbots, the most advanced and also the most expensive. Free and ia at $ 250 per month. That division was enlarging over time. AI plans of $ 20 per month have already become “middle range” plans for users. Now we are living a clear phenomenon in which if you want the best, you will have to pay a lot for it. The most advanced models of Openai and Google They cost 200 and $ 250 per month respectively. Before we had super -premium mobiles. Now we have overemium. Free AI is still (very) good. The most striking thing is that this McDonalization of AI is not bad at the moment. Free models, those who use the vast majority of users, They are fantastic for many scenarios And they fully meet their needs. Here we have benefited from an ultracompetitive market: AI companies have had to offer better benefits on their free platforms so that we would not run to use others that did the same for free or cheaper. The cost per million tokens (in dollars) has not stopped falling for two years. He will continue to do so. Source: Epoch AI (click on the image to access the interactive graph). And the AI ​​will continue to be reduced. A few days ago OpenAi The price of O3 was cut by 80% and offered its advanced version, O3 Pro. The latter is an even more capable model, but it is also 10 times more expensive than the standard O3 model. It is intended for very specific users who get all the juice to these models with very detailed prompts and contexts. O3 Pro is not helpful for typical consultations (often not too specific) that we do in Chatgpt, for example. That tendency to the reduction of AI is constant. But also more expensive. The opposite is also true: the cost of inference does not stop lowering, but access to the best models could be further increased. Especially if, as the companies that offer them look like they propose them as substitutes for human employees. Sam Altman already pointed out that an agent of the hyperavanzado with the ability of a human doctorate will not leave for 200, but for $ 20,000 per month. But if you meet expectations – and as always, maximum uncertainty here, Altman is a specialist in generating Hype-, that AI will be able to do the job of many employees, and also do so constantly, 24/7. The price of exclusivity. We are also seeing how these ultra -premium models are those that give access to characteristics that consume many resources, such as Spectacular capacity Video generation of Vist 3. although it is possible to generate a few videos with the “mid -range” accounts of Google (Google Ai Pro, 21.99 euros/month), to use that option much less limited we can sign up for the Google Ai Ultra Plan, 250 euros per month. Maybe 250 euros a month is a bar. We can consider that paying 20, 200 or 250 euros per month for accessing an advanced AI model is somewhat absurd considering that free models are already very good. However, there is another overwhelming reality: those advanced payment models can be an absolute bargain. If you produce double or do your work in half of time, what are 20 euros per month, or even 250? It all depends on how you squeeze them, of course. As said Javier Recuenco (@recuenco), Author and academic: “Something that takes away 80% of the work and that lets you do what you are good, that cool you and what you are good? Please give me more.” Supply and demand. Alberto Romero, author of the Newsletter ‘The Algorithmic Bridge’, I reflected weeks ago About that potential gap. As in the rest of the market industries, for it OpenAi and the rest of the companies of AI will operate in the market “with the only rule that matters, that of supply and demand.” Winners and losers of the AI. But it is also true that That for the poor and for rich will cause A new digital gap. Those who can pay the best AI models can do more things and better – if they really take out the juice – than those who only have access to free or cheap models. There will be no equal opportunities for each other. We could see something like that with access to promising AI agentswhich will be especially intensive in resource consumption but theoretically they will also do many things for us autonomously … but not those who cannot pay for them. In Xataka | The AI ​​race seemed to be matching. Openai has just hit the table with a model that points very high

China conquered us with its cheap drones. Now the price of its pieces is shooting for a reason that is not accidental

by

The Chinese market has been the most attractive option to buy drones for years, both for price and variety. From Ultraeconomic models of 30 euros even professional drones such as DJI MAVIC 4 PROfor more than 2,000 euros. The fan is really wide. Now, that successful formula begins to face a new context. Such as collect Financial Timesthe prices of the components from China are rising, in some cases duplicating. Let’s analyze the reasons and scope of this phenomenon. The scenario has changed. More and more suppliers operating in China are raising their prices for international clients. They do, according to the aforementioned British newspaper, in response to the reinforcement of the export controls that Beijing is applying on “sensitive components.” The aforementioned changes occur in a global context where the United States and China are immersed in a commercial war marked by ups and downs. Although in recent months Some offensives have softeneduncertainty still persists how the next steps will be. Key components in the spotlight. Among the elements most affected by these restrictions are Thermographic cameras. These cameras allow to detect temperature differences and generate images in low visibility conditions, such as night, fog or smoke. Image captured by a drone with thermographic chamber They are used both in civil applications (such as rescue work or industrial inspection), but also in military environments. This last use could be behind the increase in controls and increase in exports, since these cameras allow surveillance tasks in adverse conditions. A strategy that reminds the US. Although the hardening of controls from Beijing may seem a sudden response, it is not an isolated or new movement in the global context. USA It has been restricted for years China’s access to certain products for “national security.” Here we find The well -known case of Huawei. In 2019, Donald Trump’s administration imposed a prohibition that forced US companies to request licenses to offer some technology to the Asian manufacturer, a measure that would be maintained during Joe Biden’s mandate. Drones in front of war. One of the reasons behind Chinese controls is precisely the military use of these devices. Certainly, in recent years we have seen how consumer drones have become an essential part of the military arsenal in conflicts such as Russia and Ukraine. The Ukrainian attack with Hundreds of drone drones on Russian basesor the massive production of low -cost explosive drones, they have made it clear that there is no border between the civil and the military. Possibly this also explains why China wants to control who sells what. Europe and the US try to react. Both Europe and the United States are reacting to Chinese domain. In the American case, associations like Auvsi They have claimed Fiscal incentives and loans to facilitate the transition to local drones, especially in security forces and public services. There have also been more forceful movements, such as the decision of the United States Department of Defense to include DJI in its list of “Chinese military companies.” This classification led to the manufacturer To start a legal battle with the aim of revoking said label. In the European case, the answer is taking shape through initiatives such as the program Eurodronea joint development between France, Germany, Spain and Italy that seeks to reduce the dependence of non -European manufacturers. There are also other programs, such as European Defense Fund. And what does this affect us? For now, what seems clear is that access to pieces from China is no longer as easy or as cheap as before. Restrictions and controls are making key components more expensive, something that some buyers already notice throughout the planet. We will have to wait to see if this trend ends also affecting the price of the drones that we use on a day -to -day basis (those we buy online or in stores), but everything indicates that the market, as we knew it, is starting to change.

I have left a weekend with the Renault 5. This is all that awaits who is bought a cheap electric car

by

He Renault 5 It has become one of the electric cars of the moment. The update of its classic lines has been so good that it has been attracting the eyes of those in a day -to -day basis following the current engine but, surprisingly, of those who are oblivious to it and only approach when they have to buy a car last eight, ten or twelve years. In fact, I have already told that it is one of the cars with which I have felt more observed. I would not lie if I said that they have asked me more times about the car and more necks have turned with this car than driving authentic beasts of Lamborghini by northern Italy. I have had the feeling that it is the first electric car in which people tell me that I would be willing to buy for being the car that is, regardless of whether or not it is electric. But can you cover the needs as it did, for example, a Renault Twingo (which will also have electric reissue) or a Renault Clio? Can that car for almost exclusive city use but with which we can move no matter where or when? Let’s analyze it. A weekend with the Renault 5 Imagine, we are thinking of buying a Renault 5. We accept that it can be a bit more expensive than the competition because we like its aesthetics, we value how well finished it is inside and we want a car with a tact of direction and brake superior to its rivals. We are very clear that the use we are going to give is to move through the city and its periphery on a day -to -day basis. But of course, we have a car at home and we want to leave a weekend With friends or children. Nor do we want to go very far, a two or three hours trip to get out of the routine and return on Sunday with recharged batteries. In our case, we left Madrid. We have almost loaded batteries. We have been making some message first thing about the day but we have 90% battery. That is, of its 52 kWh capacity we have about 47 kWh. We arrive home, set up the bags and set up to our destination. In this case: Trujillo (Extremadura). I have stayed with a couple of friends in the four wind subway. We will go three people, with our respective luggage. Soon we discover that a trunk is not left over but we put the luggage without much difficulty. Ahead we have 252 kilometers and we do not plan to make them 80 km/h with the air conditioning off. Soon we go to the highway and as soon as we leave Móstoles behind, we put cruise control. Without exceeding we start eating kilometers. At 120 km/h, the travel computer tells us that we do not arrive, that we have to stop before. And the calculations begin. I look at consumption and the figure is immovable: 22 kWh/100 km. Fast, the accounts. If 22 kWh give us to do 100 kilometers … Indeed, we do not arrive. The 47 kWh that we have left in batteries should not let us make more than 225 kilometers. That is, we would have 25 kilometers ahead before arriving in Trujillo. But the browser tells us that we stop much before. About 150 kilometers after starting the march. We start the mathematical game and take electromaps. Shortly before arriving in Trujillo there is a quick charger. But it is too close to Trujillo, it would be a lot to trust that we would arrive and it would be worth reducing the speed. Another option is in a town called Romangordo. But it forces us to deviate and the load is 50 kW. We discard. Almaraz is at kilometer 200 and that convinces us more. In a service route next to the road there are loaders of Tesla and Zunder. Those of Tesla carry 150 kW and those of Zunder at 350 kW. Let’s ignore the second because the Renault 5 loads to a maximum of 100 kW. Using a plug superior to that power leads us to spend more money (the more powerful the charger, the more the rate the general rule) but we will continue loading a maximum of 100 kW. We have done the calculations well and we had very little load on the battery. We arrived with 10% of it. We were calm because about 20 kilometers before arriving in Alamaraz there is another fast wene plug and two other fast plugs. We had a well covered network. Aware that there is charger at the destination, the stop will be a little matter. In fact, we lengthened it. We stretch the legs a little, we take a soda and between hesitation and hesitant of “With my diesel I make a Bilbao-Tarifa without stopping” half an hour has spent. The car is 80% of the load. That is, we have about 42 kWh in the bedroom. We could about 170 kilometers ago. We have 50 kilometers ahead but we can move with some ease through nearby peoples. In fact, the next day we will visit the Monfragüe National Park and there we will decide where to go. We have available a 50 kW charger in a couple of nearby towns and in Plasencia, a larger population, we have plugs of all kinds to load while we eat. We return to Trujillo On Saturday night and we have 20% battery. We take the opportunity to see the city. We leave the car loading and take a walk. Now the goal is to load it completely to resume the way back to Madrid with full battery. Aware that we have hours ahead, we put the car to load in an 11 kW plug. It is cheaper and we are going to spend that morning or yes away from the … Read more

Japan does not want to run out of its abundant offer of cheap graphics cards. So they have been forbidden to tourists

by

Time flies. PS5 and Xbox Series They already touch the five years in the market, and Nintendo Switch 2 It is at the corner. Meanwhile, the world of the PC follows another rhythm: every year New components arrive And, with them, increasingly exorbitant prices. An example is that of Nvidia graphics cards with some RTX 5000 that had risen in price (and They keep doing it). And it is not only a price problem, but also of scarcity. Because there are some markets in which the high demand for these high -end cards It has become a problem. But it is a market that goes to two speeds. In Japan the TEMPORARY OF THE SCARKbecoming an ideal country for foreigners to buy a GPU if they go on vacation. Your solution? Prohibit sale of graphics cards to tourists. But let’s see why you can find high -end graphics in Japan to prices that are not absurd And why these measures seem more deterrent than high feasible. Japan does not want to run out of graphics cards The reason for that scarcity has several explanations. The Last generation GPU They are ideal to enjoy the games, but also for setting up pointers for the Artificial Intelligence Training. It seems that the market does not give a respite to the GPUs, since a few years ago the shortage problem was due to the cryptocurrency mining and semiconductor crisis. There is Other factors that can alter the availability in the market, such as more recent tariffsbut the truth is that the problem of finding one in stores at a price without inflates due to that scarcity It is something that has dragged Nvidia for some time. But this, as we say, is something that does not affect everyone and it is a situation that is hittingabove all, to the United States. And, as we see in Redditwhen someone from a country in which prices are in the clouds or, directly, there are no units of certain models of graphics go to a country like Japan where there are, they wonder why. The answer is complex and I consider that it goes beyond the simple “because in other countries we are not willing to pay for a GPU which costs a second -hand car”, as has been given in the same Reddit thread. The first, some Japanese retailers know that there is a problem of scarcity in other territories and that tourists can take advantage of the trip to take a graphics card. That is why, in some stores, posters have been hung by warning that Only certain resident models in Japan are sold. The effectiveness of this measure has been discussed and it is said that there are stores that only show the poster as a deterrent, but also that others are Starting to ask that buyers demonstrate that they are residents in the country. Reddit image. Link by clicking on it The red poster says something as “the purchase of this product is limited to residents in Japan. The purchase for resale is strictly prohibited.” But this does not go so much against the tourist who takes the opportunity to take a GPU, but against which he buys units systematically for the resale, and here China is put in the spotlight. Due to the impossibility of buying the latest Nvidia graphics in the Asian giant for the Commercial War with the United States and the different vetoesand thanks to the proximity between China and Japan, a practice seems to be visiting and filling the suitcase with graphics that They are shown in the Asian giant. Question of cultural preferences That is one of the reasons why there are graphics in Japan, but another can directly be cultural and preferably of Japanese players. The size of the housing is a huge condition for certain hobbys, and playing on a PC is one of those affected. A laptop enters anywhere, but these graphs are used to mount towers and a space is needed for the entire Setup. It seems like a drawer, but we are talking about the average house size in Japan has reached its lowest level in 30 years. The average is 92 square meters and, in the cities where more population is concentrated, talk later of 50 square meters. It is a space incompatible with mounting a pC of desktop and, although it is a fact that the number of PC players has grown Significantly in the last decade, it is not known how many correspond to the match in laptop and how many atmosphere. In 2015 it is estimated that there were 11 million PC players, a figure that increase up to 16 million in 2023, and AMD is also contributing To this. It is a fact that is not bad, but the console market is still above, representing about 20% of the total video game market. Here has a lot to do with Nintendo Switch which has been sold as hot bread in Japan. Since its launch, of the total 152 million units worldwide, I know esteem that only in Japan more than 35 million have been sold. In fact, in 2021, of 100% of consoles sold in Japan, Calculate that Switch represented just over 78%, which clearly shows the preference for portable game. Now, the system that really dominates in the country is the mobile as a game device, with a My dear 66% of the total. Here, as we said, cultural preferences are mixed, that taste for portable platforms and the little space in the houses of the cities in which The bulk of the country accumulates. And all that can give us the answer of why there are high -end graphics cards available in Japan and why the price is not inflated. Or everything may be much simpler and, as they commented on Reddit, in many countries there is no shortage because they are not going to pay for a GPU the same as because … Read more

Ryanair’s most expensive summer is just around the corner. The reason: to have sold too cheap

by

The greatest Low Cost from Europe is about to upload their prices. After a year with tickets up to 7% cheaper, Ryanair has announced price increases for this summer. Your benefit fell into the last quarter16%, up to 1.6 billion euros, dragged by the war with online agencies and failed deliveries of Boeing. In detail. Michael O’Leary, his CEO, sells it as a “remarkable robustness” in a difficult year. But the real margin per passenger has remained at just 8 euros, less than its more than 10 euros of 2024. Ryanair has had to give part of the cheap seat with a discount. Online agencies stopped selling their flights and that forced him to lower prices to maintain occupation. It is a serious problem for an airline whose model lives to fill each 95% flight. Why is it important. Ryanair, with his very particular brand image, is a European air transport thermometer. If she suffers, the rest too, because paradoxically anyone, not even the big ones, approach the return of the queen of the flight Low Cost. The balance between costs at bay, constant growth and permanent tensions with their partners (aircraft manufacturers, travel agencies, governments under the command of airports) sometimes cracks. And if even Ryanair has to raise prices, this summer fly will be presumably more expensive. Even for the rest. In perspective. Ryanair has trimmed his expectations. Of the 215 million passengers he expected by 2025-2026, it goes to 203 million. Its long -term objective (300 million in 2034) is still standing, but has stopped the rhythm. In addition, the tension on both sides of the Atlantic can lead to tariffs for the Boeing aircraft that Ryanair resorts (one of the secrets of its prices is the homogeneity of its fleet). AND Ryanair is clear: If you have to enroll the planes in the United Kingdom to avoid those tariffs, it will. The idea of ​​buying Chinese airplanes Sounds more to order, modus operandi. The important thing is that tariffs do not translate at a cost for them. The backdrop. Ryanair’s story does not change: growth, low prices for seats surrounded by accessories to monetize, pressure to suppliersReturn to the shareholder. But sometimes the seams appear. O’Leary, his CEO, boasts of muscle, but has had to resort to discounts, adjust expectations and distribute dividend to calm the markets.

Harvard bought a cheap copy of the Magna Carta in 1946. They just discovered that they had a treasure that is worth a fortune

by

Year 1946. Someone buys a cheap and no apparent copy of The Magna Carta After ending World War II. The article, dated in 1327, passes without penalty or glory for decades in some trunk of the Harvard Law School. Today, eighty years later, to the surprise of the entire world it has been discovered that it was actually one of The original writings. A medieval jewel. In other words: for eight decades, a very valuable original of the 1300 Magna Cart bad of 1327. acquired at the time for just $ 27.50 In 46, the document was bought from a London bookseller and, since then, lay in oblivion. It was not until December 2023 when David Carpenter, professor of medieval history at the King’s College in London, He identified it while sailing through the Harvard digital library. When observing the sheep skin scroll (labeled as HLS MS 172) it was dumbfounded: design, calligraphy, Latin use and the capital “E” characteristic of Edwardus coincided with The original specimens known He immediately alerted his colleague Nicholas Vincent, a professor at the University of East Anglia, who confirmed authenticity of the finding. With the discovery, they ascend to 24 The original specimens Known of the edition, the last officially issued by the Royal Foreign Ministry during the reign of Eduardo I. A 725 -year -old relic. The document, in remarkable state of conservation, was produced in the year 28 of the reign of Eduardo I and represents the culmination of a series of reference to the Carta Magna since their original conception in 1215, when the English barons, in open rebellion, forced the king to accept that even the monarchy had to submit to the law. The text was reissued several times for its successors and ended up consolidating as one of the pillars of the Western constitutional thinking. The authenticity of the Harvard specimen already It has been validated with spectral and ultraviolet image techniques (image below), which allowed to compare the text and paleographic marks with other authentic specimens. In contrast to the deteriorated document found in 2014 In Sandwich, England (which was incomplete, without seal and partially illegible), Harvard’s piece retains its integrity and clarity. The thoroughly examined letter Historical Genealogy. Harvard experts tell that the documentary trail suggests that the copy could be the Magna Carta originally sent to the municipality of Appleby-in-Westmorland, in northern England. It is presumed that it was delivered by Lord Lord William Lowther to the abolitionist Thomas Clarkson, one of the most influential figures in the eradication of British slave trafficking. Clarkson, author of The History of the Abolition of the African Slave-Tradehe retired to the area, and his family archive was subsequently inherited by the aviator and war hero Forster Maynard. In fact, it was he who He auctioned in 1945 Through Sotheby’s, where Harvard acquired it without noticing his true importance. Although there is still a conclusive evidence that confirms such documentary genealogy, the chain of custody is more than solid and plausible. Symbol I live in times of tension. The American media counted this morning that the rediscovery of the document also arrives at one time politically loaded: Harvard University faces direct pressures from the Trump government, which recently announced the Cancellation of 450 million dollars in federal financing after disputes over student protests related to war in Gaza and university autonomy. For Carpenterthe appearance of this founding letter in the midst of that conflict is not mere coincidence, but almost “providential”: a tangible reminder of the essential principle that power, even in its highest form, is subject to the law. “The Magna Carta says that the ruler cannot simply order your execution or appropriate your land: it must respect the law,” He pointed out. Constitutional inspiration. Finally, the relevance of the finding is not limited to its estimated historical value (there is talk of More than 20 million of dollars, considering that a 1297 version was sold in 2007 for 21.3 million), but also to its pedagogical and symbolic potential. In words From Amanda Watsonassociated dean of the Harvard Legal Library, the document offers a unique opportunity for future generations to understand the foundations of democracy, individual freedom and limited government. If you also want, that a medieval relic of this caliber emerges from the shelves of an American university In full struggle to preserve its academic autonomy against the impositions of state power, it gives an extra intangible to the finding, a weight that transcends the historical: a living lesson, written more than seven centuries ago, but more in force than ever.
