We are going to tell you how to look on a map what the eclipse will look like in your town or city. Of the total solar eclipses visible in Spain In the next three years, this summer will be one of the most spectacular, especially since the last one we saw like this was in 1912. Let’s start by telling you In which autonomous communities can you see the total eclipse? of sun that will take place on August 12, 2026. Then, we will tell you how to know how and at what time it will be seen in your locationand we’ll finish with a list of the best cities to see it. Where will the total solar eclipse be seen? These are the autonomous communities in which the solar eclipse on August 12 can be seen: Aragon Asturias Balearics Cantabria Castile-La Mancha Castile and León Catalonia Community of Madrid Valencian Community Galicia Rioja Navarre The Basque Country. Here, remember that There are other factors that will influence visibility of this astronomical event. For example, there will be the weather, since if the sky is cloudy the effect will be reduced. And then there is the fact that if you are surrounded by mountains, it is possible that in some places it will not be seen well because one of them covers it. How to know what it will look like in your neighborhood or city In order to know how and how much the eclipse will be seen in your neighborhood or city, you have to go to the official website of the National Geographic Institute created for this eclipse. You have to enter visualizers.ign.es/eclipses/2026and at the top write your zip code or location name in the box that appears. You can also search for the site by putting a pin on the map. When you do, you will go to a page where On the left you have an informative column. In it you will be told things such as whether the total eclipse is going to arrive or it will only be partial, as well as the start times of the partial eclipse and the total or annular eclipse wherever you have chosen. On this website, what you have to do is move the temporary bar that appears belowwhere it says Evolution of the eclipse. So, when the sky is going to be completely covered the map will turn blackand you will be able to see from the beginning of the total eclipse to how long it will last.

The most drunk beer brands in each autonomous community of Spain, gathered on this map

by

Beer does not pass through his best moment in Spain, but that does not mean that ours continues to be a country of reeds in which per capita consumption exceeds on average 50 liters. Yeah we go down to detail and we analyze what brand those rods or bottles are, however, things change from one community to another. In Galicia and the Balearic Islands Estrella Galicia reigns, in Andalusia Cruz Campo does it, in Catalonia Estrella Damm and in the Valencian Community and Cantabria Amstel. There is, however, one logo that dominates a good part of the map: Mahou. What has happened? That we have a new ‘photo’ of the beer sector in Spain. It does not show us data per capita consumptionevolution of demand or billing of the sector, but it does give us a clue about another equally interesting topic: the struggle between brands at a territorial level. He latest report ‘Brand Footprint’, prepared by Worldpanel by Numerator and published by Mahou San Miguel itself, reveals two interesting facts about the Spanish map. The first is that it remains highly segmented at a territorial level, with brands consolidated by region. The second is that, despite this diverse scenario, there is one brand that clearly leads: Mahou. Worldpanel by Numerator report. What exactly does it show? The Worldpanel by Numerator (formerly Kantar) report basically shows which brand is “the most chosen” in each autonomous community. To find out, the technicians carried out a survey with a “representative” sample of 12,500 homes spread throughout Spain, including the Balearic Islands and the Canary Islands. The result, which you can see in the map that heads this post, is that Mahou leads in Asturias, Navarra, Castilla y León, Castilla-La Mancha, Community of Madrid and Extremadura. And the rest of the country? It is dominated by brands that have become strong at a territorial level. Estrella Galicia stands out, for example, in Galicia and the Balearic Islands, Amstel in Cantabria and the Valencian Community, San Miguel in the Basque Country, Estrella de Levante in the Region of Murcia, Cruzcampo in Andalusia, Estrella Damm in Catalonia, Ambar in Aragon and Cerveza Tropical in the Canary Islands. The question remains as to what is happening in La Rioja. There the sample did not allow the authors of the report to reach a clear conclusion. It is not a bad balance for Mahou, who wanted to emphasize that the Worldpanel study proves that the brand has strengthened its presence “throughout the national territory” and maintains leadership in half a dozen regions. If compared with the 2025 study The firm loses the leadership of Cantabria in favor of Amstel and takes over Navarra, a territory that San Miguel controlled last year. The Madrid company also boasts of the weight of its brand in the shopping basket, establishing itself as one of the most popular in its branch. But… And Galicia star? The Worldpanel by Numerator map may catch your attention if you remember another on the same topic published in September and produced by Data Centric. It showed a ‘photograph’ quite differentwith Mahou based mainly in the Community of Madrid and Castilla-La Mancha and Estrella Galicia monopolizing Galicia, Asturias, Castilla y León, Extremadura, Cantabria, the Basque Country, Navarra, La Rioja, the Valencian Community, the Balearic Islands and Melilla. What is the reason for this difference? To focus. Because? Although both reports are based on a quantitatively similar sample (DataCentric conducts 14,053 digital surveys), they do not seek exactly the same thing. The Worldpanel study points to “the most chosen beer” by Spaniards. DataCentric “favorite brands”. In his report he states in fact that the Hijos de Rivera brand receives “42% of the votes” compared to 14% for Mahou and leaves behind a reflection: despite how well positioned both Estrella Galicia and Alhambra are in their ranking, this status of “favorite brands” does not then translate to sales. “Both have significantly lower positions.” If we look at billing, for example, the business ranking of theEconomist shows that Mahou is in the lead, followed by Damm, Heineken and in fourth position Hijos de Rivera, the parent company of Estrella Galicia or 1906. In general, both the DataCentric and Worldpanel reports should be taken for what they are: studies with their strengths and weaknesses that help to better understand a sector that faces a challenging landscape. Although Spain is one of the EU countries that consume more beerthe industry deals with a youth that is changing their consumption habits and approach to alcohol and a market in which they are gaining more and more strength ‘without’ drinks.

What are the dates in each autonomous community for the selectivity exam?

by

Let’s tell you what they are the dates of the PAU for each autonomous communitythe old selectivity which has also been known as EvAU or EBAU. This is one of the most important exams for students in Spain, the one that will determine which university degree they can take. Although almost all communities hold the exams on very similar or even the same dates, there are some exceptions. Therefore, we are going to give you the list with each of the communities and their specific dates, so that you know when it is your turn. Dates of the 2026 selectivity in Spain Below we leave you a list of the dates on which the university entrance tests will be carried out in each autonomous community. You will have two dates: the ordinary and extraordinary call. This way, you will know in each case. Andalusia: Ordinary call on June 2, 3 and 4, and the extraordinary call on June 30, July 1 and 2 Aragon: Ordinary call on June 2, 3 and 4, and the extraordinary call on June 30, July 1 and 2 Ceuta and Melilla: Ordinary call on June 2, 3 and 4, and the extraordinary call on June 30, July 1 and 2 (they are governed by the Andalusian calendar) Canary Islands: Ordinary call on June 2, 3, 4 and 5, and the extraordinary call on June 30, July 1 and 2 Asturias: Ordinary call on June 2, 3 and 4, and the extraordinary call on July 6, 7 and 8 Cantabria: Ordinary call on June 2, 3 and 4, and the extraordinary call on June 30, July 1 and 2 Castile-La Mancha: Ordinary call on June 8, 9 and 10, and the extraordinary call on June 29, 30 and July 1 Castile and León: Ordinary call on June 2, 3 and 4, and the extraordinary call on June 30, July 1 and 2 Catalonia: Ordinary call on June 9, 10 and 11, and the extraordinary call on September 2, 3 and 4 Community of Madrid: Ordinary call on June 1, 2, 3 and 4, and the extraordinary call on June 30, July 1 and 2 Valencian Community: Ordinary call on June 2, 3 and 4, and the extraordinary call on June 30, July 1 and 2 Basque Country: Ordinary call on June 2, 3 and 4, and the extraordinary call on June 30, July 1 and 2 Estremadura: Ordinary call on June 2, 3 and 4, and the extraordinary call on June 30, July 1 and 2 Galicia: Ordinary call on June 2, 3 and 4, and the extraordinary call on June 30, July 1 and 2 Balearics: Ordinary call on June 2, 3 and 4, and the extraordinary call on June 30, July 1 and 2 Rioja: Ordinary call on June 2, 3 and 4, and the extraordinary call on June 30, July 1 and 2 Murcia: Ordinary call on June 2, 3 and 4, and the extraordinary call on June 30, July 1 and 2 Navarre: Ordinary call on June 2, 3 and 4, and the extraordinary call on June 24, 25 and 26

Google has become (even) more demanding with captchas. The Open Source community has not been amused at all

by

One of the conversations of the weekend was carried out by important developers, such as those from GrapheneOS. Google’s new security measures related to website access are beginning to be implemented in 2026 and, as a result, both custom ROMs and operating systems without Google presence have it tough. Google Cloud Fraud. If someone is okay with traffic light captchas as a security measure, I would tell you that they are not trustworthy. Google was also clear that they were not always ideal, so it developed an alternative solution, the evolution of reCAPTCHA. When the system detects suspicious traffic, it does not use the captcha system, it asks the user to scan a QR code with their smartphone. According to Googleis the best way to fight against bots and unwanted agents, protecting against attacks and possible fraud. But everything has a B side. The problem. The problem is that, for this security measure to work on Android, it is mandatory that the device has Google Play Services installed in a recent version. One of the key points of custom ROMs like GrapheneOS It is precisely that they are systems based on Open Source Android, but without Google services. Google Play Services is Google’s proprietary software layer that runs on certified Androids and provides, among other things, the APIs that verify that a device is approved by Google. Without them, it is not possible to satisfy the requests of the Play Integrity API, which is responsible for approving web access. The GrapheneOS case. GrapheneOS is one of the most secure ROMs in the world, one that has earned its reputation thanks to additional layers built on AOSP and, above all, by not having Google services or needing them for its operation. The GrapheneOS team argues that this has nothing to do with security. They claim that Play Integrity API rejects GrapheneOS and other systems even though it is technically more secure than most devices that do pass verification. Google’s Play Integrity API allows devices without security patches for years but updated to Play Services, but blocks the use of GrapheneOS even though it is much more technically secure. Mega’s entrance. After the complaint not only from Graphene, but from Cyber ​​DigestMega has come in to criticize the measure. Remember that in 2023 an attempt was made to do something similar with Web Environment Integrity (WEI). This was a proposal that Google had to abandon after criticism. That year, Google tried to put in place a mechanism that would allow websites to check whether the software and hardware on a user’s device was verified by Google. The logic was the same as now: if your settings did not conform to what Google considered acceptable, access was blocked. The proposal generated such widespread rejection among developers, web standards organizations and users that Google had to withdraw it. And now what. The relevant question is not whether or not Google is entitled to do this, because it is. The question is what happens when the de facto standard for online verification is controlled by the same company that sells the hardware and software necessary to surpass it.

A rural community lived isolated in caves for 500 years in Burgos. Their DNA revealed a dark history of inbreeding and smallpox

by

In the year 711, an Umayyad army crossed the Strait of Gibraltar and put an end to the Visigoth kingdom in less than a generation, starting a great upheaval in the Iberian Peninsula with many changes. Kingdoms that were born and died, power struggles and great mobility that began to shape the foundations of modern Europe. However, north of Burgos, a small group of people seemed to know absolutely nothing. Where. The rural site of Las Gobasin northern Spain, offers a vision of life far from those centers of power. One of the most outstanding medieval rock communities on the peninsula, located in the county of Treviño, near the town of Laño. Here the inhabitants dug churches, homes and graves directly into the limestone, where they began to live and die there for five centuries. And now we know that they did it with their backs to the world. How do we know? At the moment we do not have any time machine to see what happened in the past, but a scientific study revealed the secrets of this enigmatic Iberian community. Here the archaeological excavations in the cemetery They discovered the remains of 41 individuals from whom an attempt was made to extract their DNA. In this case they used all the tools available to reconstruct who they were, how they were related and what diseases they carried. What we knew is that the settlement existed from the mid-6th century to the 11th century and Las Gobas had a cemetery that was used continuously from the 7th to the 11th century. But the surprising thing is that it seemed like they were always the same people. Marry each other. The most striking finding of the study does not have to do with any virus or any fractured skull, but rather that approximately 61% of the individuals with sufficient genomic data showed signs of consanguinity, so this population was quite likely to practice inbreeding. And it was not something slight, since in some cases the researchers saw that there were marriages between siblings or even between parents and children. In this way, the only source of genetic variability that could be had in this population was only the women who arrived from abroad to marry. Although the truth is something quite scarce. There was no peace. It may be thought that isolation guarantees absolute peace in the population, but the first centuries of occupation were marked by brutality. The study of the bones in this case has found clear evidence that there was interpersonal violence, including serious bone injuries consistent with direct sword impacts. An invisible enemy. If swords weren’t enough in this case, the 10th century brought with it a lethal, microscopic threat. The metagenomic analyzes carried out have made it possible to detect pathogens and zoonotic diseases, identifying traces of smallpox. Although what is fascinating about this discovery is not only that We are facing the oldest documented evidence of smallpox in southern Europe, but where it came from. Although the south of the peninsula was a commercial hotbed dominated by the Islamic world, smallpox did not reach the south from the Gobas. But the truth is that its genetic signature is similar to the Nordic and European strains of the time. How did it arrive? That a disease from the Vikings or one that was present in Central Europe reached some isolated caves in Burgos is no coincidence. Here the researchers pointed to the nascent European pilgrimage routes, specifically to the first steps of the Camino de Santiago, as the entry route for the pathogen. And although the inhabitants of Las Gobas avoided mixing with their neighbors to the south, the incipient religious and commercial traffic from the north ended up breaking, at least on an epidemiological level, their isolation bubble.

The Valencian Community has an “anti-AI” plan so that no one cheats on competitive exams

by

Much of the success of AI glasseslike the Ray-Ban Metait is precisely that they do not look like a technological device. They look like normal glasses that integrate perfectly into our look. AND that is exactly the problem. There is the issue of recording people without their consent and also using them to cheat on exams. It is precisely what the Generalitat Valenciana wants to avoid. The plan. They count in Lift EMV that the Public Function area of ​​the Ministry of Finance has set its sights on AI glasses, and has already detailed a plan against their use in competitive examinations. The plan is to carry out a physical inspection upon entering the exam that verifies “the absence of electronic components.” To do this, they will provide training to supervisory personnel so that they are able to detect these devices, which, as happens with glasses, go very unnoticed. You will have to look for frames that are thicker than normal and lights that activate when recording. There is more. In addition to the physical inspection, an even more effective option is also being considered: installing frequency inhibitors. With this, if a security guard loses smart glasses or a watch, they should be useless as long as they remain in the range of action. They also highlight that for some time now they have been including complex questions whose answers require analysis and critical thinking, so that AI cannot answer them so easily. The new ‘chop’. Gone are the times when we kept a piece of paper with the lesson up our sleeve, now it is copied with AI glasses and smartwatch. This is what an applicant did in the MIR exam this year in Santiago de Compostela. It has not been revealed what model of glasses and watch he was wearing, nor how he planned to use them, but everything indicates that he read the questions with the glasses and got the answer on the watch. A seamless plan, except that someone noticed and got caught. His grade was a zero. AI so you don’t copy. Paradoxically, there are universities that use AI for precisely the opposite purpose: to prevent students from copying. We recently talked about the VIU, also in Valencia, and how thanks to AI and facial recognition they could control exams remotely. A very complex system that It has cost the university 650,000 euros for violating the General Data Protection Regulation. The problem with AI glasses. That someone can cheat on an exam is wrong, but there are things that are even worse. For example, in Spain we have the case of man who was arrested for recording women without their consent with the Ray-Ban Meta. They have also been made modifications in glasses that allow strangers to be identified on the street and there are more and more places where its use is being restricted. Wearing AI in your eyes can be very useful, but anyone you pass on the street could be recording you is intrusive, and even more so if the person wearing them is in, for example, a gym locker room. Or if it is the person who has to shave your crotch. Even if the LED indicator is off, I don’t think anyone could shake the feeling of being recorded.

the alert for community transmission is now real

by

Measles seemed like an eradicated disease and something of the past thanks to the very high vaccination rates in our country. However, the most recent epidemiological data is clear: the virus is back and is beginning to circulate among us. This is something that was seen in January 2026 when the WHO withdrew to Spain the status of “measles-free country”. Now, the figures recorded in the first weeks of the year illustrate the size of the problem. Local situation. Only in the Community of Madrid have been confirmed officially 24 cases of measles in the first seven weeks of 2026. To put this figure in perspective, we must know that in just a month and a half the total number of infections recorded in the region for the entire year 2025 has been exceeded. Community circulation. What is truly alarming about the current Madrid outbreak is not only the absolute number of cases, but their nature. This is not something that can be perceived in a non-objective way, but rather the latest weekly epidemiological report of the Community of Madrid, published this February 17, explicitly confirms the community circulation of the virus. Until recently, the vast majority of cases in Spain, What were the 108 reported in 2025?were imported from other countries, such as Morocco and Romania mainly. But this situation has completely changed, since the geographical dispersion of current cases and the absence of previous travel in the vast majority of patients demonstrate that the virus is being spread indigenously within our borders. The profile of those affected. Among the 24 infections There are 13 women and 11 men, most of them being adults. But the most striking thing about all this is that 66.6% of those affected They were not vaccinated with the complete schedule. It must be taken into account that measles is not a mild disease, but six hospitalizations have been recorded, four of them due to severe respiratory involvement. It already transcends Madrid. The national data, centralized by the Carlos III Health Institute through its Weekly Epidemiological Bulletin, reflect that the rebound is not a phenomenon isolated to the capital. Here it has been seen that only in these first weeks of 2026, 60 cases have already been registered nationwide, locating Madrid and Alicante as the main sources of contagion, although these figures are still provisional due to delays in notifications. It comes long. This beginning of the year is the direct consequence of an upward trend that has been brewing for months. According to the Situation Report of the Ministry of Health published at the end of January, Spain closed 2025 with 397 confirmed cases, which represents a jump compared to the 227 infections in 2024. It was precisely this reestablishment of the endemic transmission documented between 2024 and 2025 that led the WHO to give us the wake-up call and revoke our virus elimination status. European context. We are not alone in this crisis, since, according to ECDC data, measles continues to be a continental challenge. Although Europe fell from 35,000 cases in 2024 to 7,655 in 2025, the global trend is the same, since community transmission makes its way through gaps in vaccine coverage. In fact, the WHO European Regional Committee warns that 87% of those infected on the continent do not have the vaccination schedule. What is being done. Given this scenario, the Ministry of Health has already made a move and is updating and reinforcing the Measles Elimination Plan with a clear objective: encourage vaccination in susceptible groups and break the chains of transmission thanks to herd immunity. On the other hand, the Madrid health authorities have raised the alert level in health centers so that professionals keep this new situation in mind to request tests with the aim of confirming possible cases.

Microsoft has finally realized what the community has been shouting at it for months: we don’t want so much AI

by

The people are fed up with the avalanche of AI that has flooded Windows and Microsoft turned a deaf ear to the numerous community complaints. They have put AI even in Notepadwhich is saying something. Microsoft’s obsession has caused the Windows image to sufferbut finally it seems that they are listening to the users. We are still passing. One of the things Microsoft has been doing in its pro-AI crusade is add Copilot buttons everywhere. It’s in Paint, in Notepad and even they want to put it in file explorer. Although Microsoft has not commented, according to Windows Central fontsthe company is rethinking its AI strategy and one of the things that is under review are these buttons that they have been adding almost indiscriminately. Maybe they end up eliminating some or just being more selective from now on. Windows Recall. “It’s like having a photographic memory.” This is how Microsoft sold what aimed to be the PC+Copilot star feature. What followed were many doubts about your safety and so many criticisms that Microsoft had to delay the project for more than a year. Recall is already implemented, but according to Windows Central the company is not satisfied with how it is working and wants to correct course. How they will do it at the moment is unknown. There will still be AI. Microsoft still has a lot of AI features in the works and nothing indicates that they will stop, so if you were rubbing your hands at the idea of ​​a Windows 11 without AI, that is not the case. Some of the initiatives they have underway are: agentic functions which they announced in November of last year (to which The community flatly refused.by the way) and developer features like Windows ML or semantic search. The complaints have been heard. There will probably still be more AI features than the community would like, but it seems that Microsoft has heard the feedback and they are going to take their foot off the accelerator. The obsession with AI has not been the only reason for discontent, there have also been highly criticized decisions such as force to use an online account to upgrade to Windows 11 or the stability problems after updating. Despite everything, Windows 11 is advancing unstoppably and It is already on more than 1 billion devices.
