that the closure of the centrals rises the light of the light

by

The Government of Spain agreed a stepped blackout of nuclear centrals between 2027 and 2035. However, the debate that seemed settled in 2019 has reopened with many actors involved. Battle The epicenter of the problem It started with the Almaraz Centralsince it is the first to close within two years according to the agreed calendar. However, electricity, government, opposition and population have opened the debate about whether to continue with the closing plan or extend the useful life of nuclear plants. A renegotiation. Electric companies (Iberdrola, Endesa, Naturgy and EDP) are confronted with both each other and with the central government about the closure of nuclear plants. On the one hand, Iberdrola and Endesa are looking for how to obtain more favorable conditions that allow them to keep the nuclear power plants operational without incurring economic losses, According to eldiario.es. In addition, they add that there is an increase in demand for data centers and must ensure the stability of the supply, because otherwise the light could be increased by up to 25%. On the other hand, the rest of the electricity, such as Naturgy and EDP, have shown less interest in prolonging the useful life of nuclear, since they have adjusted down the accounting value of their assets in this sector, how have explained expanding. The main problem is multiprophity, since any extension requires unanimity among the partners of each plant. To unlock the situation, companies explore solutions such as a 2-3-year mini-programs or the exchange of assets, where companies would reorganize the ownership of the centrals so that there are fewer partners in each plant, which would facilitate decision making. While the government … It continues with the same position that the closure must follow the agreed calendar of 2019, but has shown some flexibility. According to expansionthe Ministry of Ecological Transition has indicated that any renegotiation of the closure of Almaraz or other plants is only possible if electricity agrees first between them. The voices in favor. As we report in Xatakathe Congress of Deputies approved a non -law proposition to open the possibility of extending nuclear centrals. The initiative, presented by the Popular Party came forward with the support of Vox and a deputy of UPN, in addition to the abstention of Junts and ERC. Of course, since it is a non -binding figure, its approval does not entail any change in the formalized closing calendar six years ago, but it does reflect the position of the camera. The commitment to renewable. The National Integrated Energy and Climate Plan (PNIEC 2023-2030) has established that in five years 81% of electricity with renewable sources and renewable sources must be generated is close to getting it. In the last two months, according to the data provided by Electric Red of Spain (REE)nuclear energy has represented 20% of the total electricity generation. This percentage has increased due to the fall in solar energy production. This change in the energy panorama reopens the debate on the need for a continuous energy source, especially given the growing energy consumption of data centers driven by artificial intelligencethat require constant and stable supply. On the other hand, another question opens, in terms of the use of energy storage that could be one of the alternatives, but in the country all that surplus of renewable energy It is taking place in the swamps. The future. While the debate on the future of nuclear energy in Spain is still open, investigations have begun to take steps towards nuclear fusion. The Rodas project, which seeks to advance in this emerging technology, is presented as a new window within the energy sector, with the aim of developing a clean and practically inexhaustible energy source, As we have highlighted in Xataka. However, there is still a way to go and much to try before the nuclear fusion becomes A large -scale viable alternative.

1,300 flights affected by the closure of the largest airport in Europe

by

“A fire in an electrical substation that supplies the airport.” It is the reason, as reported by the heatow airport authorities themselves On its website and in the official accounts of social networks as x. From the airport they recommend not to go to their facilities and get in touch with the airlines if you wanted to take a flight today to find a solution to it. Heidi Alexander, Minister of Transportation, has also asked travelers who do not go to the facilities: “I am receiving updates about the situation in development at Heathrow Airport. I am grateful for emergency services that are responding to the fire, and National Grid for working to restore energy from the airport and households. He urges passengers who do not travel to the airport and contact their airline” The airport is the largest in Europe. The last 2024 closed the year with a traveler record. In total it is estimated that they went through its facilities 83.9 million people. A figure far higher than that registered in 2019, the best year until then with 80.9 million travelers. According to BBCit is estimated that 1,351 flights can be canceled throughout the day. The consequences will be extended inside and outside our continent and has a special impact on our country. New York, Dubai, Doha and Los Angeles are the main journeys at the London airport. Dublin sneaks like the fourth city that has the most transfer with Heatrow and the sixth city and the second European is Madrid. From AENA They have already reported that 54 flights with origin or destination within our country will be affected today. Journeys that are distributed throughout the following cities: Madrid: 29 flights Barcelona: 19 flights Malaga: 2 flights South Tenerife: 2 flights Valencia: 2 flights The fire that affects the airport has had no implications exclusively in its facilities. According to BBC16,300 homes have also run out of electricity and 150 people have had to be evacuated. At the moment, the cuasas of the fire are unknown. All connections affected by the Heatrow Fire. Source: Flightradar24 A logistics challenge Sean Dilley, a journalist specialized in transport of the British media, points out that the fire has created a logistics challenge that will be extended throughout the world. Air traffic is calculated to the millimeter to always keep in mind how many flights are in the air and the capacity on land. Close the largest airport in Europe It forces the network to assume that challenge. He explains that Gatwick (also in London) will absorb the greatest amount of flights that can but that its capacity is almost at the limit. The same goes for Stansted and Luton. At the moment, in The Guardian They report that Stansted has not received requests to accept flights to Heatrow. A spokesman for it has indicated that: “London Stansted is currently operating normally, we have the capacity for a small number of deviations, but so far we have not received any request.” Another option that is being valued, according to Dilley, is to divert flights to Manchester and relocate passengers by train. And to distribute long -distance flights on the network, make them terrric in Schipol (Amsterdam) or Frankfurt that are also among the largest airports on the continent. In The Guardian They also focus on the problem of Fuel supply which can be generated in airports that accept the detour of some of the trips with original destination in Heatow. And to current delays and cancellations, we must add those that can be generated in the next few days until all flights have been made. Although the airport opened normally tomorrow, Saturday, March 22, the delays are expected to accumulate.

A declaration of intentions? What the closure of the APK tells about Spotify its sudden restrictive turn

by

Spotify was founded in 2006 and it has not been until 2024 that has managed to be profitable. He has had gusts with green -green quarter and others in red, but this year has been the year, in capital and bold. This is a great news for the company, undoubtedly, and a tremendous chance that is right now, in full bonanza, when you have decided to stop that … Countless call Spotify modified APK. And that is right now, in this context, it is a small Leave vu of something we have already lived. Spotify what? It is no secret that looking for the right words on the Internet, any user could reach a modified Spotify application. An fully functional and illegitimate app that, in a nutshell, eliminated one of the great restrictions of the Spotify free plan: choose what song to listen. 27 Spotify tricks – Control your whole music like nobody! As every free service user will know, non -subscribers can only listen to music in random. They cannot choose which song reproduce, but choose a list and let the random mode do their own. In addition, only the songs can jump a few times and, of course, they are forced to listen to advertising. The modified APK eliminated advertising, allowed to choose songs and jump the songs as many times as we would like. Spotify benefits and losses | Image: Xataka The end. And if we talk in the past it is because Spotify, abruptly, without prior notice and from one day to another, has decided to take action on the matter. From a stroke, it has made these modified applications stop working. That has caused the users who used them and look for alternatives, thus creating An excellent culture broth for cybercriminals. Spoiler: Download a modified Spotify application is synonymous with potential problems. Leave vu. Obviating that the use of this application breaches the terms and conditions of the service and the user agreement, it is still striking that this decision has been applied overnight. Spotify is in his entire right, there is plenty of saying, but it is the accumulation of situations and the precedents that attracts attention. Streaming platforms, starting with Netflix and then all the others, decided overnight end the shared accounts. The difference is that Netflix did it when it went through a pothole, while Spotify has decided to stop the modified APKs while on the wave crest. Spotify has 675 million users of which 263 million are paying. Surely the impact of the modified APK is minimal, but its blocking is 1) normal and 2) a possible declaration of intentions. Image: Fábio Alves in UNSPLASH What if Spotify is getting serious? Now that Spotify has managed to be profitable, perhaps he is thinking of putting the points on the ís to all those users who violate their service. Using a modified APK is a clear violation of the terms and conditions of use, so it was evident that this was going to happen sooner or later, but there is something else that is a common practice in the service and through which Spotify has only passed on tiptoe. The shared accounts. The melon of shared family accounts has been opened several times, but it has never finished solving. Spotify Let it clear that the family plan is for up to six family members who live in the same direction, but the reality is that the verification system It is easily drawable. Spotify only verifies the introduced address, but does not seem to follow up like the one that does, for example, Netflix. Spotify shared family accounts have long been in the peephole, but their misuse has been passed. At least for now Spotify can surely know without much problem that your “family” of “six members” is distributed between Madrid, Barcelona, ​​Seville and a colleague who is from Erasmus in Brussels although all, for practical purposes, live in the same direction as the administrator. He simply lets him be, and that will be so until Spotify decide to stop being. And maybe that moment is now a little closer being, in any case, a risky movement. Spotify is alone. Especially since Spotify is a service that depends entirely on subscriptions and advertising. Apple Music, Amazon Music or YouTube Music have behind companies that sell and/or offer other more lucrative products or services than the musical product itself. Spotify, however, does not have that support and play with the number of subscribers is more movie. Image | Pexels Although Netflix has been afraid. Although users put themselves on a war on social networks and ink rivers were written about it, The reality is that Netflix has been great His crusade against shared accounts and the free plan with advertising. 55% of the new highs bet on the cheap plan with ads and the end of shared accounts have made the platform reach 300 million subscribers. Perhaps the end of the modified APK is the beginning of a new stage in Spotify. One in which shared accounts are with relatives, and with no one; one with high definition sound (plan that does not finish arriving) and one in which, finally, streaming music is profitable. Or maybe not, but the background is what they are. Cover image | Cottonbro Studio In Xataka | The great surprise of the Pódcast is not that people are listening to them. Is that he is seeing them

Third -party stores are still insignificant in Android. The Amazon App Store closure is the last test

by

Amazon will take goodbye to your Android application store starting next August 20. The company has issued a statement For developers and has detailed on its support website What will happen to the store From this date. The reason is clear and transparent: users were not using the store beyond the Amazon devices themselves. Therefore, they decide to stop supporting Android and turn it into an alternative only for their own products. What will happen to the Amazon store. Amazon App Store will stop working on August 20. As of this date, the company does not guarantee the operation of the applications discharged from it. Although it will disappear on Android, it will continue to be available on Amazon’s own devices, such as Fire TV and Fire Tablet. The goal is to keep the store alive only on the company’s devices. What happens to the COINS? Amazon App Store had its own currency, the Amazon Coins. These are used to make purchases inside the store, but also within the apps unloaded through it. The Amazon Coins balance will be completely reimbursed, so you will not lose the money invested in them. The reason: lack of users. Amazon has alluded to a clear reason: his store was not being used enough (at least on devices outside his ecosystem). “We have decided to discontinue Amazon’s appthore on Android to focus our efforts on the experience of the appthore on our own devices, since it is there where the vast majority of our clients are currently interacting.” There is only a possible rival. Play Store is (and will remain in the short term) the most used store in the world. It is estimated that it has between 2,500 and 3,000 million active users, something logical when pre -installed on all Android telephone. This store covers practically all globable markets, saving some markets such as Chino. Competing against this mastodon is an arduous task, although there are few efforts to achieve it. Huawei, with great support from the Chinese government, is making APP Gallery exceed 600 million active users. There are many more compared to the 100 million estimated for Amazon Store, and that between 10 and 20 million that are estimated at minority stores such as Aurora Store. Not everything is numbers. Although at the level of numbers nobody can cough Play Store, there is much beyond the total number of unique users. Technological giants such as Epic Games have led Android Your application store With a single purpose: avoid Play Store commissions. On the Huawei side, it is not focused on competing globally against Play Store: it wants to be the main app store in China and consolidate the leadership of the company in your native country. Compete against Play Store goes beyond figures, and with The arrival of third -party apps to App Store They have the great opportunity to continue getting with increasing impulse.
