Apple has done very well The transition to Apple Silicon. Your products, widely well valued for their power and efficiencythey have managed to sell very well, which has made the company go from 5.8% world market share to 8.7% of the first quarter of 2025, according to IDC figures. In Cupertino they want more, and the last plan to enhance sales goes through A cheaper macbook. Filtration. Ming-Chi Kuo is one of the analysts who has the best history of successes in terms of rumors of upcoming Apple launches, And predicted that the company prepares a cheaper “macbook” and colors. There are no surprises on the screen: it would be “approximately 13 inches.” However, it points to something they had not yet done from Cupertino, using an iPhone processor in a Mac. And Apple would choose the A18 PRO with which the iPhone 16 Pro and 16 pro max. The price. Digitimes, another medium with very good sources with regard to Apple, has gone further that Kuo and already offers a tentative price for this launch: $ 599. It is the same price chosen by Apple to market the cheapest MAC in history by adjusting for inflation, the Mac Mini M4. And also the same as iPhone 16E. In both products, the Spanish price without discounts is 709 euros. And that price would be groundbreaking for the global PCs market, such as It has been for smartphones. To put the figures in perspective. Apple’s “cheap” macbook, antonomasia, was launched at $ 1,099 in 2006, which implies a price of about $ 1,700 of 2025 updating inflation. Adjusting the price of that model to euros of 2025, the “blanquito” stays at 1,569 euros (and it must be remembered that VAT was 16% until its rise in 2009). Apple’s cheapest laptop sold in Spain was the 2009 variant, marketed for 879 euros (1,215 euros of 2025). Why it is important. Apple has managed to hit a bite to the PC market with very competitive laptops in its segment like the MacBook Air, especially Now that they are already base equipped with 16 GB of RAM. And he has achieved it without teams considered economical, but with the lowest prices in its history. Rancing an economic macbook at Mini prices, Apple would sell between 5 and 7 million units in 2026, according to Kuo. The Macbook Air M4 starts from $ 999, the same as the M1 departed and previous models with Intel. But adjusting inflation, its price is lower than those. The MAC Mini M4 is now 599 dollars, compared to $ 825 by adjusting the inflation of the original MAC Mini, which reached the market in January 2005 by 499. That just is the price at which they sell the Mini M4 for the educational market, where this new team would have a huge asset given the capabilities of the team. “A nightmare for Microsoft“In Windows Central They have it clear. The $ 599 are bad news for a Microsoft that in October faces one of the critical moments of the decade: The end of Windows 10 supportthat still has more users than Windows 11 in countries like Spain, and hundreds of millions of users in the world. Given this situation, Microsoft Clara: Buy a new PC. In the market there is no PC that offers the lightness, power and efficiency that Apple aims to have in its economic MAC, and Similar proposals with Snapdragonthe chip that rivalize with mthey are in a few more euros. At the peak of the 400 euros netbooksApple presented its own alternative, the iPad. Steve Jobs said there was no place in the company’s family for economic laptops. When launching the iPad, Jobs explained why they did not launch a cheap laptop (netbooks, at the time) for being slow and having poor quality. In 2025 there is not so much sacrifice. Iphone brain, more than capable for a Mac. The fear of reading “iPhone chip” is that it is not powerful enough to move macos (and their needs) with ease. The reality is different, if we attend to the numbers. Currently, an M1 chip remains more than enough to perform even heavy tasks in the system. And the A18 pro is more powerful in any CPU metric: A18 PRO M1 Difference in favor of the A18 Pro Geekbench 6 (single core) 3429 2345 +46.23% Geekbench 6 (Multi Core) 8790 8348 +5.29 % Geekbench 6 metal (GPU) 32686 33073 −1.17% 3DMark Steel Nomad Light Unlimited (GPU) 1541 1892 −18.55% In GPU, as we see, using metal, it is somewhat less powerful. And in a gaming test executed in equal resolution, such as Steel Nomad Light Unlimited, the A18 Pro is left more than 18%. In Single Core, the A18 Pro is also more powerful than the M2 and M3. And that is the most relevant section to move an operating system with ease, as well as what we do most today with the PCs, navigate the web. Prepared for AI. Although the A18 Pro and the M1 have a 16 -core neural Engine, the advances in architecture and in lithography of the iPhone chip allow obtaining From 50% more yield until the triple of the M1 offers the same processes. Clearly, except for Gaming, we are facing a more suitable chip for the needs of computer science in 2025. Huge autonomy potential. M1 is a legendary chip for The autonomy that brought the Macbook Air and Pro They arrived equipped with him. If Apple does not cut in the old air watts, the gain in autonomy can be immense, as the A18 PRO is manufactured by TSMC in the second generation 3 NM node (N3P), compared to the 5 NM first generation of the M1. Yes, but. A Macbook with an A18 Pro sounds very good, until we remember that it would be launched with an economic approach, and that in Apple usually comes accompanied by cuts, sometimes irrelevant, and sometimes painful.

How to install Openai’s new Got-Oss models on your computer to have your own chatgpt at home

by

OpenAi has announced New models Open Source that anyone can download and install on their computer: GPT-Oss. With these already on the street, it is an excellent opportunity to start stirring with the The premisesthat is to say, Executed on our computerso today we are going to teach you to install and use them. Differences between the two models Although they are called in a similar way, GPT-Oss-120B and GPT-Oss-20B are not exactly the same nor have the same requirements. The first model, GPT-Oss-120b, reaches a parity near OpenAi O4-mini and requires at least 60 GB of graphic memory. Having your own chatgpt at home is easy, but it requires a team at height | Image: Xataka His little brother, GPT-Oss-20B, is somewhat less capable (similar to O3-mini, according to OpenAI), but can be executed on devices Edge. In other words, it can be executed on your own computer whenever it has at least 16 GB of memory, preferably graphic. In summary: GPT-Oss-120b: Large model, need at least 60 GB of vram or unidicada memory and is not suitable for consumer computers. GPT-Oss-20b: smaller model, need 16 GB of vram or unified memory and is suitable for consumer computers. The one we are going to use, for obvious reasons, is GPT-Oss-20b. Considerations to take into account Executing an AI like in local is an intensive process that can cause, and surely cause, that your computer slows down a lot. Although you could execute it having 16 GB of RAM, the ideal is that your team has A high -end GPU. What will happen if your computer has less than 16 GB of vram memory? Than the tool will use RAMwhose figure must be equal to or greater than 16 GB. If not, the system will not work properly. As a general recommendation, the ideal is to dedicate all the possible resources of your computer to the execution of the model, so it closes everything that is not strictly necessary. Install Ollama on your computer OLLAMA Installation | Image: Xataka For this tutorial we will use a well -known application: Ollama. It is an Open Source platform that simplifies, and much, the installation, access and use of LLMS (Large Language Models). Let’s say he is an executor of models. Chatgpt is an online platform through which we interact with a model, such as GPT-4O. Ollama is the same, But at home and with the models we have installed on our computer. It is a free, open source software and available for Windows, Mac and Linux. Download GPT-Oss Once we have downloaded and installed the program on our computer we will find an interface like this. If you wish, you can also use ancient ollama through the Command interfacebut the truth is that the graphic interface is much more pleasant. Main interface of Ollama | Image: Xataka If we look, we will see a drop -down in the lower right area with the name of the model we are using or that, rather we will use. Access to the different AI models from Ollama | Image: Xataka If we click on the drop -down we can access a good handful of models, such as Deepseek R1, Gemma either Qwen. In the case, we are interested in selecting “GPT-Oss: 20b“ Download of the model, armate of patience | Image: Xataka Having selected “GPT-Oss: 20B”, it will be enough to send a message in the chat to begin the download of the model. At patience, because it weighs 12.8 GB and can take a while. Talking to GPT-Oss-20b through Ollama | Image: Xataka Once it is installed, you can start talking with AI as if it were Chatgpt. Of course, if your GPU does not meet the minimum requirements you will see that it is much slower than chatgpt. Not surprisingly, you are running the model on your computer, not in a data macrocenter full of the latest in Dedicated Gpus of Nvidia. Another option: LM Studio Lm Studio | Image: Xataka Ollama has the advantage of being intuitive, simple and direct. If we want more options, a much more complete program is LM Studio. This is available for Windows, Linux and Mac and, as Ollama, is able to manage several models, GPT-Oss: 20b among them. It is a more advanced application that allows us to better adjust both the behavior of our computer and that of the model, although squeezing it to the maximum requires more advanced knowledge.

In 2030 he plans to have the most powerful quantum computer that exists

by

China and the US are the countries that are dedicating more resources to the development of Quantum technologies. And also those who are reaching The most relevant achievements. However, there is a country that has officialized its intention to lead in the medium term both in the field of Quantum computing as in the manufacture of semiconductors: Japan. In the middle of last April we tell you that the Riken Center for Quantum Computing and Fujitsu had just announced that they had developed in a joint project A superconductor quantum computer endowed with 256 cubits. A priori may not seem like a great achievement if we are in mind that IBM already has a condora superconductor quantum processor of 1,121 cubits, and also The Heron platform (5k) endowed with error mitigation. And the China Telecom Quantum Group (CTQG) and the Center for Excellence in Quantum Information and Quantum Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences have developed The Xiaohong quantum processor of 504 superconductor cubits. However, Japan’s plan in the field of quantum machines does not end up here. And it is that in 2030 it intends to have a quantum computer 25% more powerful that the most capable that IBM will have at that time. 250 logical cubits to make a difference The design and tuning project of this ambitious quantum machine is already underway. And the Riken Center for Quantum Computing, Fujitsu and the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science in Japan. This quantum computer will use superconductor cubits and a very advanced cooling system, presumably a dilution system similar to the employee by The machine they presented in April. Whatever your best asset, if you finally get to fruition, it will be its 250 logical cubits. Each logical ul Logical cubits represent a way to overcome the difficulty involved in the use of hardware or physical cubits, which are extremely noise sensitive, and, therefore, prone to make mistakes. Each logical cubit is constructed in an abstract way About several physical or hardware cubitsso that a single logical cubit encodes a single cubit of quantum information, but with redundancy. It is precisely this redundancy that allows to detect and correct the errors that are present in the physical cubits. Until very recently the number of hardware cubits that was necessary to implement a single logical cubit immune to errors was impracticable, but IBM says that he has found the solution To this problem. And presumably Fujitsu and the Riken center too. IBM is going to build The quantum computer ‘Starling’ in a new data center that will be housed in Paughkeepsie, New York (USA). This machine will bring together 200 logical cubits that, in theory, will allow you to execute 100 million quantum operations. IBM says that ‘Starling’ will be ready in 2029but, as I mentioned a few lines above, Fujitsu and Riken intend to have their quantum machine of 250 logical cubits in 2030. If they get it, they are likely to lead in this field. In any case, before that milestone arrives, much earlier, in 2026, they pursue to be ready A 1,000 cubits computer. They will not be 1,000 logical cubits; They will be 1,000 conventional cubits, and, therefore, prone to make mistakes. Even so, if Japan get it, only one step from the US and China will be placed in this field.

A few years ago (not too many) I bought a computer that would be destined to work exclusively. It turned out to be a bit brown. I spent approximately 620 euros and, although I did not have a bad technical card, the experience was very different from what I expected. Times change and today for that price we see very interesting offers, but few like Mediamarkt’s. Only today, the store has the Gigabyte G6 For alone 660.45 euros. And much eye at its configuration. Of course, it is worth mentioning that, although the computer already has a direct discount, We can take an additional discount. Just add it to the shopping cart to find it at the price of 660.45 euros (compared to the 777 euros that appears before adding it to the cart). * Some price may have changed from the last review Excellent configuration in a pretty cheap gaming laptop The Gigabyte G6 that we find of offer in Mediamarkt is a Gaming laptop which has an excellent configuration in this case.

A “real” quantum computer before 2030

by

Spinq is one of the main manufacturers of Quantum computers from China. We discovered this company in early 2023 because it placed in the market An amazing quantum team Very compact that looked much more like a PC than one of the huge and exotic quantum computers of IBM, Google or Honeywell. However, Spinq machine technology It was very different to which the equipment with Superconductor cubits or ion traps. And it is that their cubits were implemented taking advantage of the possibility of measuring spin states of certain atoms of a molecule using nuclear magnetic resonance techniques (NMR). A brief note: the spin is an intrinsic property of elementary particles, as well as the electric charge, derived from its time of angular rotation. This strategy has allowed this Chinese company to point out some reasonably simple cubits, which can also operate in relatively little demanding environmental conditions. Spinq has ties with the Chinese government The computer we can see in the cover image of this article is the machine with spinq NMR cubits. This is a mature technology that has been known for more than two decades. In fact, the quantum computer that executed for the first time the quantum algorithm of Shor numbers factoring it. This happened in 2001. However, these cubits are very sensitive to noise, so this technique is not appropriate to put quantum processors with many cubits. Spinq plans to have a quantum machine of 100 cubits before expiring 2025 Another advantage of NMR cubits is that they are much simpler than superconductor cubits or those of trapped ions, so putting them ready is cheaper. Spinq says in Your website That their quantum computers Gemini Mini and Mini Pro, both of two cubits, and Triangulum II, of three cubits, They are low -cost quantum equipment. It makes sense that they are much cheaper than quantum computers with IBM or Google Superconductor cubits, and also that computers with Honeywell or Ionq ion traps. Even so, they are much more expensive than our PC. In fact, the first version of Triangulum, the most advanced of these compact quantum computers, cost approximately 56,000 euros in 2023. In any case, Spinq does not manufacture quantum machines for educational projects and to address some simple scientific problems; It also designs and produces quantum computers with much more ambitious superconductor cubits. According to SCMPthis company plans to have a quantum machine of 100 cubits before it expires 2025. It does not seem a great achievement if we are in mind that IBM has since 2023 ‘Condor’a quantum processor of 1,121 cubits, but Spinq’s plans do not end here. And before this decade ends up having prepared a quantum computer “useful to solve real world problems”, According to Spinq itself. To carry out this successful plan you will have to develop a machine with thousands of superconductor cubits, and, in addition, with the ability to amend your own mistakes. There is something that is worth not overlooked: this company has Very narrow ties with the Chinese government. In fact, has received a subsidy of the administration of Shenzhen and collaborates with the Harbin Institute of Technology and the Ministry of Education. There is no doubt about one thing: quantum technologies are a priority, and Spinq is one of its main assets. IBM also plans Having a quantum computer equipped with the ability to amend your errors before this decade ends, so for China it is essential to match this milestone.

Melilla has been with a total collapse of its computer systems for three days. The cyber attack is there

by

Those responsible for the Autonomous City of Melilla indicated last Sunday night that the city’s computer services had been interrupted by technical causes. At the moment the origin of the problem is not known, but a cyber attack is investigated. Although that hypothesis is not confirmed, there is a reality: that Spain is the second most attacked country in the world by cybercriminals. What happened. On Sunday night the City Council of Melilla reported That “due to a technical problem in our computer systems, we inform citizens that, temporarily, it will not be possible to provide services through the OIAC (Information and Citizen Attention Offices).” The cyber attack hypothesis. As they point out In the Melilla lighthousethere is no official confirmation about the origin of the problem, but working on the hypothesis of a cyber attack. In that investigation, the Autonomous City has the support of the National Intelligence Center (CNI), with which maintains a collaboration agreement in cybersecurity. Collapse (almost) total. The fall of computer systems in Melilla has made the usual tasks of the administration cannot be carried out by computer. That has forced them to recover in certain cases Traditional processing methods as the manual firm to process the most urgent files. The Minister of Development, Miguel Marín, explained in statements to the media how “obviously this slows the work.” The municipal website, which allows citizens to be done through the Internet, is also falling. Three organizations are still operational. As they point out In News from Navarraonly three public bodies have been saved from the fall: the municipal housing and land company of Melilla (Emvismesa), the Promise and Immusa Economic Development Society, on which local television depends. There is no date for the recovery of systems. Both Marín and the president of the Autonomous City, Juan José Imbroda, pointed out that the priority is to recover the operation of the services. However, the initial objective of recovering them in two days has not been met, and there is no estimated date for computer systems to work normally again. Denunciation and investigation. Although there is no confirmed cause of the problem, there has been a formal complaint due to the possibility of a possible cyber attack. “The police are alerted,” said Imbroda, “we will try to find out what has really been and where it comes from.” Image | Trevor Huxham In Xataka | Carrefour received five identical cyber attacks and did nothing.

The first quantum computer with error correction already has date. It is close and will be 20,000 times more powerful than the current

by

It seems that in the end Israeli mathematician Gil Kalai was wrong. This professor at Yale University has been very critical for several years with Quantum computing. In fact, he argues that the increase in the number of states of quantum systems and their complexity will cause They end up behaving like classic computersso the superiority of the former will end up evaporating. It defends, in short, that totally functional quantum computers They will never arrive. However, we currently have very solid reasons to anticipate otherwise. And there are several companies that ensure that they will have a quantum machine equipped with the ability to amend your own mistakes Before I expire this decade. These computers will be very important because they will presumably have the ability to solve a very wide range of problems with which not even the most powerful classic supercomdators available can deal. Just a week ago we told you that Xanadu, a young Canadian company founded in 2016, Plan to have ready before 2030 A quantum computer of one million phototonic ulna with error correction. However, it is not the only company that intends to make this milestone come true. IBM plans to make available to its customers in 2029 ‘Starling’, its first large -scale quantum computer equipped with the ability to amend their own mistakes. It will execute 20,000 times more operations than current quantum computers IBM is going to build The quantum computer ‘Starling’ in a new data center that will be housed in Paughkeepsie, New York (USA). This machine will bring together 200 logical cubits that, in theory, will allow you to execute 100 million quantum operations. Logical cubits represent a way to overcome the difficulty involved in the use of hardware or physical cubits, which are extremely noise sensitive, and, therefore, prone to make mistakes. Each logical ul Each logical cubit is constructed abstractly on several physical or hardware cubits, so that a single logical cubit encodes a single cubit of quantum information, but with redundancy. It is precisely this redundancy that allows detect and correct errors that are present in physical cubits. Until very recently the number of hardware cubits that was necessary to implement a single logical cubit immune to errors was impracticable, but IBM says it has found the solution to this problem. Their engineers have published two very interesting technical articles in which they develop the strategy they will use to bring to fruition their large -scale quantum computer and error correction. In the first These articles explain what procedure will continue to process instructions and execute operations in an efficient way. AND In the second They describe how they will decode the information that physical cubits contain in an efficient way, and also what strategy they will use to identify and correct real -time errors using conventional computational resources. As I mentioned a few lines above, IBM says that ‘Starling’ will be ready in 2029, but before its arrival this company expects to reach other important milestones. At the end of 2025 ‘Quantum Loon’ will prove the technology used to connect cubits to a larger distance Within a single chip. In 2026 ‘Kookaburra’ it will be the first IBM modular processor designed to store and process coded information. In 2027 ‘Cockatoo’ will arrive to demonstrate that it is possible to intertwine two ‘Kookaburra’ modules, and, consequently, that it is viable to connect several quantum chips such as nodes of a larger platform. And finally, after ‘Starling’ will arrive ‘Blue Jay’, which will bring together 2,000 logical cubits that, in theory, will allow you to execute 1 billion quantum operations.

Elon Musk got outstanding in computer science. Who designed the computers they used did not approve with the same ease

by

Become one of the greatest fortunes in the history of humanity Obviously it requires certain skills, especially when that fortune has been obtained in The technology sector. Who stands out in the technological field, tends to qualify as “technology geniuses.” Elon Musk, for example, obtained excellent notes in complicated matters as computer science. Paradoxically, Steve Jobs and Bill Gates, the most relevant names in the development of the computers that Musk used in their classes, did not stand out For your good notes During your student stage. His intelligence had a lot to do with it. Steve Jobs, the approved scraping A psychological report Prepared by the FBI on the student profile of Steve Jobs revealed that Apple’s co -founder had an average grade (GPA per grade point avenge) in secondary school of 2.65, which is equivalent to obtaining school grades between C and B. which could be considered as a scraping approved. However, despite obtaining such tight qualifications, the report He pointed outthat Jobs was extremely intelligent and with an exceptional ability to mold people of its environment manipulating truth and reality to achieve its objectives. When Jobs Fundo Apple, Those skills They served to attract the best talent by his side and convince them that they were able to design the best products in the world. Bill Gates, scattered talent In his autobiographical book, ‘Code Source: My beginnings’Gates reveals that during his high school in the exclusive Lakesid school he obtained grades that did not adjust to those of a preteen with the ability to quickly learn the complicated mathematical concepts that read in the books. “He was an avid generalist in a place where people focused on concrete matters. He didn’t fit, in summary, and he didn’t know how to solve it. So I pretended he didn’t want to do it.” The millionaire recognized that, although he was able to learn the subjects before his classmates, his attitude and behavior in class and with the rest of the students it was not adequate, and he did not feel motivated by the issues studied in class. However, all that changed when he discovered that he could create programs with the teletype of the “computer room.” Gates acknowledged that this moment marked a before and after in his passage through Secondary. He managed to focus And his notes improved immediately. ELON MUSK: Bright computer notes Elon Musk is the exception confirming the rule. A few weeks ago, Maye Musk, mother of the richest person on the planet With an estimated fortune of 419.6 billion dollars, he published in Your X profile An unpublished document: Elon Musk’s computer notes. Touch the image to go to the original message In his message, Maye Musk explained that, while reviewing his old family photos, he found a notification of the computer notes of the University of Pretoria of his son Elon Musk when he was 17 years old. “My genius child. Mom proud,” wrote the mother of the millionaire. In its qualifications it can be seen that the South African millionaire obtained the maximum score (A+) in programming and computer use skills. In response to his mother’s message, Musk said: “They told me that I obtained the highest score in engineering aptitude they have ever seen.” In other words, not bad for a human, as a future AI would say. “ High capabilities, low grades. The bad academic results – especially in the pre -university stages – of many of the people who have subsequently been considered “technological geniuses”, are not casual. The Scientific literature In this regard It is extensive and points to the existence of a link between the people with high capacitiesintellectuals with a Low school performance. Data from the Ministry of Education and Science estimated that around 70% of students with high capacities registered low school performance. The main reason for school failure among these students with high capacities is the lack of motivation to follow the rhythm of the classes. This, as Gates said in his book, It generates dispersion And his curiosity was aimed at learning on other issues that had nothing to do with the subject he had to study. On the other hand, the social factor and Its integration with the rest of the students It is also a key component for school success in these cases.

A young computer scientist was looking for work. So “hacked” LinkedIn to always receive offers first

by

The youth of generation Z face serious difficulties in starting their work career in a labor market so competitivein which for Each job offer hundreds or thousands of candidates are presented. Find The slightest advantage To highlight in job requests it is fundamental. Michael Yan, a 25 -year -old founder and CEO from Simplify, has shared A trick on LinkedIn which allowed him to receive job offers from large companies such as Meta, Microsoft and Google. This method allowed him to access before the rest of vacancies candidates, thus increasing the possibilities of being hired Faced with other candidates. Yan’s trick. Like Yan told to Business InsiderIn 2018, the young manager was in his first year of computer science at Stanford University and was looking for companies to do his first practices. Given its technological training, Yan warned that the URL address of the LinkedIn Employment Section showed an “86400”. That number is not accidental: it is the number of seconds that have 24 hours a day. Therefore, when Yan asked LinkedIn the job offers of “the last 24 hours”, he always showed him those that had been published the day before, not in the last hours. A simple change to be the first. From that discovery, Yan accessed LinkedI’s employment tab and made a search for the professional profile that demanded and applied the filter “publication date” to “last 24 hours”. Then, the number “86400” of the URL address in the browser bar for “3600” changed, which is the seconds that have an hour. In this simple way, the young candidate “hacked” LinkedIn’s job search obtaining the offers published in the last hour, so that always He was one of the first candidates in postulating for vacancies. “I got job offers in Meta and Google because I postulated offers a few hours after they were published,” said the young manager in his publication.
