The United Kingdom needs cheaper heating, so it is replacing gas boilers with Raspberry Pi servers

by

The idea is eccentric, but makes sense. The light of the light is in the clouds. Gas boilers are condemned to extinguish. And the demand for computing capacity does not stop growing. The solution: replace the boilers with a cluster of 500 Raspberry Pi to generate heat. Mini -provenors in oil. UK Power Networks, the largest distribution networks in the United Kingdom, is testing to replace Traditional gas boilers with small data centers to the size of a heat pump. They consist of a 500 mini -proven rack Raspberry Pi cm4 either Cm5 submerged in oil. The oil is heated as computers work, and the heat is then distributed by radiators and the water of the house. A distributed cloud. These devices called “Heathub” are actually part of the Thermify distributed computing service. The company has completed a pilot test in Wales, and now hopes to climb the service to 100,000 facilities annually from here to 2030. Thermify believes that low -income families will be interested in Heathub to relieve their economic burden, reducing the electricity bill and avoiding the Aerothermia installation. Thanks to cloud income, the company can offer a cheap and low alternative in carbon emissions. How it works. Within each Heathub container, 500 Raspberry Pi modules work endlessly processing loads for the cloud service clients of Thermify. All this hardware is refrigerated by immersionwhat in this case has a double function, because it allows efficiently to capture the heat generated to use it as heating. The residual heat is transferred to the central and hot water system of the house, as a substitute “plug and play” of the conventional gas boiler. As for how it affects the Internet connection: not to reduce customer bandwidth, each unit has a dedicated network connection. Cheaper invoices. Why was someone to install an foreign data center at home? For the same reason that telephone antennas on the roofs of the buildings are installed: money. In this case, customers pay a fixed monthly fee of 5.60 pounds per month (about 6.60 euros), which reduces their bills by 40% without losing heating capacity. Beyond individual savings, the proposal of Thermify and UKPN makes sense from the environmental point of view: use energy twice, taking advantage of a heat that traditional data centers usually waste. Perhaps the greatest obstacle that thermify is facing is the competition. Other companies Like the French Qarnot and The British Heata either Deep Green They are already working on similar projects, heating from water deposits to public pools.

Microsoft 365 will have cheaper versions worldwide. It is the result of the antitrust pressure of the European Commission

by

Soon, many Microsoft Office customers worldwide can access cheaper subscriptions. It is not a promotion or isolated commercial gesture, but the result of years of Brussels. Microsoft has accepted change your strategy to close an antitrust investigation I could cost him expensive. With this agreement, the company dodges a possible fine and the European Commission reinforces its image as guardian of the rules that govern the digital market. The European Commission confirmed that Microsoft must maintain versions of Office 365 and Microsoft 365 without Teamsyour communication tool, at a clearly lower price compared to the editions that include it. These conditions will be in force for at least seven years and will be complemented with interoperability and data portability commitments for a decade. The American company has indicated that it will implement changes globally. Microsoft undertakes to lower prices and open its ecosystem The origin of this pulse dates back to July 2020, When Slack denounced Microsoft to the European Commission For packaging Teams within Office, claiming that it made it difficult for users to choose alternatives. Three years later, Brussels opened a formal investigation To evaluate whether this practice was abuse of dominant position in the collaborative software market. The case focused on the impact of Teams integration on competitors such as Slack and other business communication platforms. To reduce the pressure, Microsoft began taking action before a resolution arrived. In October 2023 he disaggregated Teams of his suites for commercial clients in the European and Switzerland Economic Space, with lower prices for those who chose not to include the tool. In April 2024 he extended this policy to the rest of the world, withdrawing for new business clients the traditional editions with Teams and introducing “without teams” plans along with an independent license. These steps sought to show good regulatory will and simplify the catalog for multinational companies, but did not suffice to close the file. With the agreement announced this month, the measures become mandatory and more ambitious. Microsoft must guarantee a significant price difference and allow customers to migrate to versions without teams without penalties. It should be noted that to benefit from these sales, organizations must hire the new plans or make the change to renew subscriptions; There will be no automatic discounts for those who maintain current contracts. It also undertakes to facilitate that rival services integrate Office applications into their platforms and that users export Teams data to other tools, reducing change barriers. This valued the measure, Teresa Ribera, executive vice president of the European Commission for the clean, fair and competitive transition: “With today’s decision, we make binding for seven years or more Microsoft’s commitments to end their linking practices that could be preventing their competitors effectively competing with Teams. Therefore, today’s decision opens the competition in this crucial market and guarantees that companies can freely choose the communication and collaboration product that best suits their needs.” Microsoft published concrete examples of prices that will enter vigor in November this year: In Enterprise plans, the difference will be up to 8 euros per user per month; In the Business Standard and Premium plans, it will be around 3 euros. Of course, domestic users and students will not see changes: their subscriptions of Microsoft 365 Personal or family did not include payment teams and are not affected by the new framework. In any case, this episode arrives at a time where the commission has intensified its scrutiny about large technological in recent years, with multimillionaire sanctions to companies such as Google, which recently imposed a fine of 2,950 million euros. However, Brussels face a diplomatic challenge: the US president Donald Trump has criticized these measuresthreatening to activate section 301 of the Commerce Law as a response.

We believed that at this point the PS5 and Xbox would be cheaper than ever. The hallucinating thing is that it is happening just the opposite

by

Sony has just announced that all models of their PlayStation 5 consoles will rise $ 50 in the United States. The argument that Sony has used in its statement To explain the decision is that there is a “difficult economic environment.” Or what is the same: they blame tariffs. But that is already a generalized trend … and very unreasonable. PS5 rises around the world. It is the same that happened in April in Europe, Middle East, Africa, Australia and New Zealand, when this company He also announced that prices went up for some models. In Europe, for example, the PS5 digital edition cost 499.99 euros. In the US, these increases affect all models, and the new prices will be activated as of Thursday in that country, being like this: PlayStation 5: 549.99 dollars (before $ 499.99) PlayStation 5 Digital Edition: 499.99 dollars (before $ 449.99) PlayStation 5 Pro: $ 749.99 (before $ 699.99) Prices for accessories, yes, remain unchanged. Microsoft already did the same. This movement is the same as Microsoft also with its Xbox Series S/X consoles, which They also rose in price at 50 euros In Europe and the US. Even the controls and some accessories saw their prices increased. And of course, Nintendo. The Japanese company took a long time to end up lowering the price of the original Nintendo Switch, but the Switch 2 has given it the excuse for uprise even more Even in the games. Not only that: the economic situation has caused Nintendo that Prices upload of the original Nintendo Switch, the Lite edition and the accessories. These data have not been met for the latest Sony and Microsoft models. In fact, the thing is totally the other way around. Damn tariffs. Most video game consoles are manufactured in China, and tariffs have especially affected the Asian giant. That certainly makes manufacturers more expensive to manufacture and export them to be able to sell them in the US or Europe. And if they want to keep their profit margins, they end up doing something logical for them and terrible for consumers, because we are the ones who end up paying the duck. But some manufacturing costs have dropped. The amazing thing about the situation is that both the PS5 and the Xbox Series S/X are now cheaper to manufacture (let’s not say the original switch). After five years in the market (nine in the case of the Nintendo console), the components of these consoles have dropped in price: their cost was then very high, but after all this time those components have ended up becoming almost obsolete compared to the new chips that have appeared in all this time. So what is happening? Not everything has come down. In fact, these consoles are based on GDDR6 memory chips and NAND chips for their solid state units, and there the prices They rose strongly in 2025 and 2025 for the relative shortage of this type of chips and the focus that manufacturers are putting in HBM memories for AI accelerators such as those of Nvidia. To this are added other costs not directly related to the material invoice (BOM), such as logistics, manufacturing energy, or marketing. The dollar loses bellows. But it is also the green ticket has lost value in front of the euro and other currencies. After 80 years being the pillar of the world economy, US tariffs They are starting to destroy it And that also translates into the price increases of everything. Including consoles. Less “boxes” are sold. Consoles manufacturers used to lose money with their models in the initial periods. The idea was always to recover those losses of plenty with the sale of physical games, but the rise of the sale of digital editions, the free-to-play games and the subscriptions have made the distribution of value change. For Sony or Microsoft the solution is simple: if we no longer recover so much value with the games, we upload the price of the hardware. But all that already happened before. The truth is that the situation is in many cases analogous to which it was lived with the PS4 and the Xbox One for example. These consoles ended up falling in a remarkable price over the years, but here a perfect storm has been created. One in which inflation, dollar weakness, tariffs and new video game access models have caused the worst result for users: more expensive consoles. In Xataka | 60 euros for a camera, 90 for a game.

Yes indeed: It is in the official store Where cheaper is cheaper to buy them. We tell you more about your launch promotion. The best prices for these folding we have them in the official store No matter what new folding of the three that we announced, since in the official store it is where we will have the best purchase conditions. Everything starts with Fold your storagewhich will allow us to take a memory option of these devices and pay the price of the immediately lower option. Said more easily: If we buy a 512 GB model we will pay the 256 GB model price. To this, we must add the delivery and premiere program of Samsung. Thanks to this, we can deliver our old device and save to the fullest in the purchase, specifically up to 800 euros discount. In addition, we will obtain an additional discount if we use Bizum as a payment method (50 euros for the Z FLIP7 and 100 euros for the Z FOLD7). If, in addition, we make the purchase from the official Samsung app, we will get an additional discount of 10%. We will also have payment facilities, since the company allows to finance purchases up to 36 months. And be careful, because the exclusive colors of the official store also come with a gift cover and we can save up to 100 euros in the new Galaxy Watch8 and Watch Ultra if we make the joint purchase. Samsung launches a new galaxy z flip much more affordable Although traditionally the Korean company has launched two folding in each generation, this time we have three options. That is because, for the first time, Samsung has opted to launch a cheaper version of one of them: the Galaxy Z Flip XX. This device is ideal for anyone who seeks Samsung’s folding experience, But at a much more tight price. Despite its reduced price, it has many strengths. Its exterior screen, for example, is 3.4 inches, just like the one that mounted The galaxy z flip6. Besides, comes with an exyn 2400 insideprocessor accompanied by 8 GB of RAM and 256 or 512 GB of storage according to which we choose.

At that price, we can apply a discount of 50 euros to pay with Bizum and the additional 10% of the app. All this leaves it in 1043.10 euros. * Some price may have changed from the last review The new Galaxy Z Fold7 is the best folding of the company to date In addition to the previous two, we will also be able to put the glove to the new Galaxy Z FOLD7, a device that exceeds in many ways to the previous z fold6. It is the finest and most light folding that Samsung has manufactured to date, both when we carry it closed and open. In fact, precisely one of the things that most attracts attention is its thickness, which is just 8.9 millimeters closedpractically as a conventional phone. The two screens grow with respect to the previous model, reaching the interior at 8 inches. Besides, It is also the most powerful folding to date (Thanks to its Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy) and also the one with the best cameras, being its main sensor of 200 megapixels. Not only that, but it is also more resistant thanks to its Gorilla Glass Victus 2 and Armor aluminium. A round device and the best folding work of the company to date.

A chip for the much cheaper than its H20 prohibited by the US

by

In early May we tell you that Nvidia engineers were working on the development of A trimmed review of your GPU for artificial intelligence (AI) H20 with the purpose of Place it on the Chinese market. To understand what is happening the first thing we should keep in mind is that during the last fiscal year, which expired on January 26, 2025, China represented approximately 13% of total income of the company led by Jensen Huang with a figure of about 17,000 million dollars. In practice, the country governed by Xi Jinping is the third best client of this company only behind the US and Taiwan. However, the sanctions to China that are deploying the US government threatens Nvidia’s survival in this Asian country. Currently this company cannot sell its chips to its Chinese clients for the most advanced. And in the middle of last April the US Department of Commerce imposed new export restrictions on China from The H20 GPU of Nvidia. Nvidia is going to assault China with a chip for the much cheaper than its H20 The reception they have given to the GPU H20 The Chinese clients of Nvidia has been very good despite the fact that the capabilities of this chip are clearly lower than those of the other proposals for the this company. In fact, initially the Department of Commerce allowed its sale in China because this integrated circuit met the restrictions it had imposed. And despite its limitations its sales in China 50% quarter to quarter have grown Since he arrived in this market in mid -2024. TSMC will not use its advanced cowos packaging in the manufacture of this chip. It is one of the reasons why its price is restrained Anyway, this time of bonanza is over. The restrictions of the Department of Commerce in practice prevent Nvidia Deliver the H20 GPU to its Chinese clientsbut This company does not give up. And is that, according to Reutersin June the Taiwanese manufacturer of TSMC semiconductors, the largest on the planet, will begin the manufacture of a new GPU for NVIDIA with the latest Blackwell microarchitecture. Presumably this is the chip with which Nvidia will aspire to maintain its domain in the Chinese market. However, before being able to send these GPU to China, the company led by Jensen Huang will have to receive the approval of the US Department of Commerce. What we know at the moment is that this chip for AI will be less capable than the H20 GPU, as is logical, and also that its price will move between $ 6,500 and $ 8,000. For domestic users it is a lot of money, but in the field of professional GPUs for AI it is a moderate price. In fact, the GPU H20 Cuesta Between 10,000 and $ 12,000so it is evident that Nvidia wants to protect the competitiveness of this chip to prevent Huawei, Moore Threads and other Chinese companies from snatching a juicy portion of this market.

He claims to have a training method for his AI 88% cheaper

by

The Chinese company High-Flyer broke into the market in the market of the artificial intelligence (AI) At the end of last January. Deepseek, his proposal, has made its way among its competitors thanks to its open nature and its benefitsbut the authentic debate has revolved for several weeks Around the cost of training your models. And it is that according to its creators they were barely spent 5.6 million dollars In this process. Three and a half months later this figure is still unbelievable, so it is reasonable to contemplate it with distrust. Anyway, Deepseek has put on the table the possibility of facing the training of the new models of investing much less money than the one spent by US companies OpenAi, Google or Anthropic in the tuning of theirs. Now it is the Chinese technological giant Alibaba who seems to be following The same path that has already traveled Depseek. And it is that it claims to have developed a AI models training system that reduces the cost almost 90%, which presumably will have a positive impact on AI search capabilities. Alibaba’s jewel is called Zerostoch The strategy that Alibaba engineers have devised to reduce the cost of training their AI models is ingenious. And instead of interacting with real search engines during this process, Zerostoch, which is what is called its technology, improves search capabilities carrying out simulations. To understand why this approach is much cheaper, we need to keep in mind that the costs associated with the redirection of commercial search engines are usually high. Alibaba has put a model that behaves as a search engine that is capable of training other AI models According to Alibaba Send 64,000 consultations to the Google search engine through an API has an approximate cost of $ 586.70, while generating the appropriate responses for training by means of an AI model of 14,000 million parameters has an approximate cost of 70.80 dollars, which represents an 88% cheaper. In practice, what Alibaba engineers seem to have achieved is to tune a model that behaves as a search engine that is capable of training other AI models so that they are able to solve consultations. This scenario has a very evident advantage: training no longer requires interaction with external search infrastructures. Alibaba, as we all know, is a gigantic company, but from now on this strategy can be used by much smaller companies to train their own AI models without the need to face a great investment in this process. In addition, presumably this technology will improve both the search capabilities of AI models and the ability with which they carry out the reasoning processes. At the moment Alibaba has used Zerostoch to improve the capabilities of his Quark model, which for just three days has been capable, always according to its creators, to combine the internet search and advanced reasoning capabilities to resolve inference and deliver precise responses to complex consultations.
