Anthropic is spending much more money than it brings in. The question is how long can it continue like this?

by

How much does AI cost? That question can be answered by AWS, which has billed Anthropic a whopping $2.66 billion so far this year. The problem is twofold, because in that same period it is estimated that Anthropic has earned 2.55 billion dollars, so with that alone it has spent more than it earns. But Anthropic has many more expenses and the accounts, once again, do not work out in the AI ​​segment. Why is it important. The data revealed by Ed Zitron confirms the problem they face all AI startups: They spend (much) more than they earn, and that trend does not seem to be reversing. In fact, although these companies are growing in revenue, they are also growing proportionally in expenses. And the question, of course, is whether this pace is sustainable. The Anthropic case. According to Zitron data, in 2024 Anthropic earned between $400 and $600 million, but spent $1.35 billion on AWS, that is, 226% of its income. The trend appears to continue in 2025, because the share of spending on AWS is 104% of its revenue. It seems that things have improved, but that expense does not include what it costs Anthropic use Google Cloud infrastructureanother of its partners in all its operations. The expenditure on it is also likely to be enormous, which complicates the situation. The mystery of unexplained costs. The unaccounted cost gap is also enormous. In 2024 Anthropic’s total spending was estimated at 6.2 billion dollars. If we know that he spent $1.35 billion on AWS, there is $4.85 billion left that is not explained. That suggests that spending on Google Cloud and other operational costs is absolutely astronomical. In fact, computing costs may be much higher than we thought. Another startup desperate for investment. Meanwhile, Anthropic continues to raise capital. Zitron analysis reveals that between 2023 and 2025 achievement raise investment rounds for a total of 37.5 billion dollars (20,000 of them in 2025 alone). A good part of that money came precisely from the companies that provide infrastructure: Amazon and Google. Despite that funding, Anthropic appears as desperate as OpenAI to raise new rounds of investment. The company run by Dario Amodei recently resorted to money from Middle Eastern countries, for example. Spending continues to skyrocket. The study figures further reveal that Anthropic spends more the more time passes. In January 2024, it spent $52.9 million on AWS, but in December 2024 that amount rose to $176.1 million. In September 2025, it is estimated that spending on AWS was no less than $518.9 million: the escalation in costs is very notable. And he tightens the screws on Cursor. One of Anthropic’s most important clients is the startup vibe coding Cursor. This company has clearly been affected by that situation, and Cursor’s costs on AWS doubled from $6.19 million in May 2025 to $12.67 million in June. Just in those Anthropic months implement the so-called “Service Levels” with which it forced business customers to spend a minimum amount and pay higher rates for prompt caching, a special component designed for startups that use generative AI models for programming. What did Cursor do? Increase prices (and apologize for it) of your customer subscriptions. This can’t go on like this forever. For Zitron, always very critical of this reality of AI companies, the conclusion is clear: Anthropic’s costs are out of control. In fact, he argues that they increase practically linearly with respect to revenue, which makes their business model unsustainable. The only solution is to increase prices drastically (possibly 100%) to become profitable. The problem is that the market accepts paying twice as much at once for AI as it currently pays for.

This is ChatGPT Atlas, the new asset with which it seeks to continue leading AI

by

We may be looking at more than just another technological launch. ChatGPT It has already altered the way many search for information. What was previously the exclusive domain of Google, now also passes through the OpenAI chatbot. With chatGPT Atlasthe company gives the step that many anticipated: a web browser that combines conversation, search and context in one environment. In this area, OpenAI does not arrive alone. Perplexity had already presented its own browser with AI integration, Cometwhich also seeks to redefine the search experience. It remains to be seen if the commitment of the company led by Sam Altman manages to sustain the expectations that have flourished this time. What is the OpenAI browser like? The first thing we find when opening ChatGPT Atlas is a recognizable interface: a window very similar to that of ChatGPT itself. OpenAI appears to have designed the environment so that the transition between the assistant and the browser is natural, keeping the conversation at the heart of the experience. Atlas preserves the basic functions of any browser—history, bookmarks, tabs—although the key is how we interact with it. The user can communicate in natural language, by text or by voiceto perform actions. You can ask, for example, to locate a recent page or to find a specific term within the history. The most notable difference is in their agentic capacities. From the “Ask ChatGPT” button, located in the upper right corner, it is possible to activate agent mode to delegate tasks. The browser can also summarize the content of a website, analyze what appears on the screen or suggest actions based on the context. If we open a project on GitHub, for example, it could directly offer related commands or steps. In addition, OpenAI has integrated several of its previous products into Atlas. Personalized suggestions based on recent usage appear on the home screen, an attempt to funnel user information into practical features. The approach is clear: unify conversation, search and assistance in the same operating environment. In development.

Cookies will continue to dominate everything

by

Google has announced the end of most of its technologies Privacy Sandbox. These systems began to be developed six years ago with the intention of getting rid of cookies, but that initiative now almost completely disappears after suffering severe problems and delays. The decision affects developers, advertisers, media and Chrome users on both mobile phones and computers. Living without cookies seemed possible. The dream was that the Chrome browser would end up having a system in which the data used to personalize the advertising that we see in the browser would reside on our devices. From there, these systems would have used algorithms to offer targeted advertising, and we would all win: advertisers could continue sending “personalized” advertising, but without specifically and individually tracking each user. Many systems disappear. On the official blog of this technology, its head, Anthony Chavez, explained that it will withdraw the vast majority of technologies that it had developed for that purpose. According to this manager, the abandonment of these systems is due to their “low adoption rate.” It will keep some of the technologies: CHIPS (“partitioned” cookies), FedCM (to provide a federated identity) and Private State Tokens (anti-fraud) will remain active. We want a universal standard. In addition to the low adoption rate, Google added that the ecosystem of advertisers, developers and media requested advertising and performance measurement solutions capable of operating broadly. This is exactly what many sectors were protesting about, accusing Google of favoring Chrome and its advertising platform with this type of system. Google precisely adds in its announcement that they will work on an interoperable standard that meets the requirements requested by the W3C organization. Plummeting income. The tools that Google was testing with Privacy Sandbox were failing in key aspects. Above all, in the decrease in income: those who tested these systems detected a 30% drop in income, and also latency problems that increased it by 200%. Their technical complexity and lack of trust were other factors: the systems simply did not fulfill their purpose. A setback for the industry and users. He Google initial announcement almost six years ago it was promising: they wanted to eliminate cookies from Chrome. His first attempt, FLoC technologysoon was criticized by all kinds of sectors that described it as “a terrible idea.” Then they came other attempts and proposals like Topicsbut the theoretical end of cookies in Chrome it kept getting late. Many wasted resources. As they point out in PPC.Landthis surrender by Google means that the work of companies, developers and media has come to nothing. Those who tried to adapt to these technologies and prepare for that hypothetical future without cookies now find that all those efforts were in vain. Cookies will continue with us. So Google (and its billions of users) are back to square one. Cookies have proven to be overly important to the internet economy, but their impact on privacy and user experience—including cookie notices—remains dire. W3C open standards as an alternative. The W3C consortium is working on solutions through its Private Advertising Technology Working Group (PAT WG). One of the systems developed is the so-called Privacy-Preserving Attribution: Level 1which measures advertising conversions avoiding user re-identification. Now it remains to be seen if it can become an interoperable standard adopted by browsers. In Xataka | “Accept or reject” cookies has become the daily torture of millions of Europeans.

A geologist explains why natural disasters continue to surprise us

by

How can an eruption on the other side of the planet cause a “year without a summer”? Why does an apparently small earthquake devastate a city while a larger one goes almost unnoticed? The answer is not always in magnitude of the phenomenon, but in the place where it occurs, in the number of people exposed and in how the risk is managed. Understanding it is not just a scientific question: it is a way of looking at the planet with different eyes. ‘Science and aside’ It is the space where we talk about science with experts. It is part of our YouTube channel and is also available as a podcast on Spotify and iVoox. In her fourth episode, Ángela Blanco interviews Rosa María Mateosgeologist and director of the Geological and Mining Institute of Spain (IGME-CSIC), a reference voice in the study of natural disasters. With decades of experience and a doctorate focused on this field, his vision helps us understand what is happening on Earth. When science faces the fury of the planet The conversation starts with a seemingly simple question: what is the most damaging natural disaster? The interviewee responds calmly: “It depends where you are and where you live.“In his explanation there are no hierarchies between volcanoes, earthquakes or tsunamis, but nuances. “Living in the Canary Islands, which has a high probability of a volcanic eruption, is not the same as living in Madrid, where the probability is zero.” The danger changes with the map, and understanding it requires looking at the geology of each place before its history. “Among the great episodes that marked the history of the Earth, Rosa cites one that was on the verge of erasing our species from the map. “We are talking about 74,000 years ago, which probably was on the verge of ending the Homo sapienswith our species.” It refers to the eruption of the Toba volcano, a megaeruption in Indonesia. Rosa explains that not all earthquakes are measured the same and that their magnitude can be misleading if you do not understand how it is calculated. “The magnitude of the earthquakes It is measured on a logarithmic scaleto. This means that an earthquake of magnitude four is not twice as strong as one of magnitude two.” The difference, he clarifies, is exponential: each point on the scale multiplies the energy released, and that is enough to turn an earthquake into a colossal force. Some historical episodes demonstrate this better than any graph. Rosa remembers the Lisbon earthquake of 1755 not only for its magnitude, but for what it represented for science. “The waves reached the coasts of Finland.” The phrase summarizes the scope of a phenomenon that destroyed the Portuguese capital and left traces throughout the Atlantic. From that disaster a different way of thinking was born. To understand why some catastrophes are devastating and others are barely mentioned, the expert introduces an essential distinction. “We geologists talk about two very different concepts that we often confuse. One is the danger… and another thing is the risk.“In the video he explains what each one consists of, their scope and also the consequences of confusing the terms. The conversation with Rosa María Mateos shows that natural phenomena cannot be avoided, but their effects can be reduced. In this episode of Science and apartthe geologist explains how observation and knowledge help to anticipate risks and live better with them. A talk that leaves open the door to continue learning about the planet we inhabit.

allow retirees to continue working

by

In September 2023, Europe turned in unison to Germany. What was normally one of the most solid economies in the euro zone was sounding the alarm: adding greater life expectancy to a demographic scenario of an inverted pyramid and an inflationary context left a very unpromising outlook for who are going to retire soon. In fact, the system was bringing retirees back to look for work to supplement pensions. Two years later things have not improved, so the government has normalized them. A structural turn. The Government of Friedrich Merz has put a clear and pragmatic proposal on the table: allowing retirees who decide to continue working receive up to 2,000 euros per month tax-free, a measure (the so-called “active pension plan”) designed to tackle the growing labor shortage that grips Europe’s largest economy. The initiative is part of the package of reforms that the Executive has sold as his “autumn of reforms” and, according to the legislative draft in hands of the Financial Timeswill come into force on January 1. The coalition with the Social Democrats is preparing to approve it with the argument of retaining experience and knowledge in companies and increasing the employment rate in a country that faces one of the most severe demographic transitions on the continent. What is offered and what is maintained. The measure exempts taxes up to 2,000 euros per month of additional labor income for retired people, but it does not eliminate contributions: employees and employers will continue to pay social contributions on those salaries, which (according to the Executive) will help strengthen healthcare and pension finances while improving the liquidity of companies with senior experience. The already existing advantages for those who opt for early retirement (the legal age It’s still 67 years oldwith incentives to retire at 63). The change is intended, rather, to offer a tax incentive so that those who can and want to prolong their working life do so. Public cost and projections. The Government itself estimates that the renunciation of collecting taxes for this incentive will cost around 890 million euros per year since its entry into force, a figure that some institutes consider optimistic: the IW Institute calculates a higher annual cost close to 1.4 billion and places the potential universe of beneficiaries at around 340,000 people. Economists such as Holger Schmieding warn, however, that the net impact could turn positive in two or three years if the increase in economic activity and contributions compensates for the initial tax loss, in addition to the possible “psychological effect” of socially valuing the contribution of the elderly. International lessons. The Government looks, among other examplesto Greece: when Athens allowed retirees keep their pension full and were additionally taxed at a reduced rate (10%) for their labor income, retired workers went from 35,000 in 2023 to more than 250,000 in September of the following year, a jump that illustrates the power of tax incentives to mobilize labor supply in older groups. That experience is used in Berlin as a sign that politics can workalthough the scale, work structures and employment cultures differ. Consequences in the labor market. The gesture aims to attack several structural symptoms: Germany today records some of the average working hours shortest in the OECD and marked growth from part-time work (which now reaches 30% of the workforce, more than double what it was at the beginning of the nineties). The policy aims to both increase effective hours and retain human capital that would otherwise escape companies. Keep staff on staff senior can help reduce bottlenecks in sectors with a shortage of qualifications and facilitate the transfer of know-how, but it also poses the challenge of adapting positions, ergonomics and internal policies to an older workforce. Political and economic risks. The main risk it’s double: On the one hand, the measure may penalize young people and employees in early career stages if companies choose to retain positions with cheaper payrolls and more experienced workers. On the other hand, the Executive’s fiscal estimate could fall short if membership is high, putting pressure on public accounts at a time when the cost of social systems is already putting pressure on the budget. Besides, recalled the Times that there is a dimension of equity and public narrative: promoting people to work longer is politically sensitive when there are sectors with precarious employment or stagnant wages. Pragmatism with doubts. Ultimately, the plan to allow 2,000 euros tax free to working retirees is, in essence, a pragmatic and technocratic response to a demographic shock and the lack of skilled labor: seeks to monetize experience, sustain contributions and gain economic muscle without resorting solely to mass immigration or abrupt increases in working hours. Yet, your success will depend the magnitude of the accession, how it is combined with other labor policies (training, conciliation, redistribution of part-time employment) and the honesty of the fiscal projections: if the reception is high, the cost could approach the most pessimistic figures, and if it is moderate, the initiative can become a respectable exercise in institutional adjustment that contributes to lengthening the active life of many and partially mitigating the bill of aging. An unknown scenario that Japan also considers.

39,990 euros to continue leading the market

by

If anyone thought the $39,990 of the Tesla Model Y Standard They were going to translate into a car worth around 35,000 euros in Spain, their hopes have just been cut short. Tesla has confirmed that the new access version of its car will arrive for a price of 39,990 euros. All in all, this shortened version of what we had until now promises to boost sales that continue to lead in our country. And it is that in the price/size ratiostill has no major rivals. Right now, the closest thing is the Leapmotor C10 which, with 4.74 meters long and a 69.9 kWh battery, sells for just over 35,000 euros. The rest of the rivals are smaller and mostly have worse features. Of course, the Tesla Model Y approves 534 kilometers of autonomy for the 430 kilometers that the Chinese model promises. And the thing is that the Tesla car barely reflects a consumption of 13.3 kWh/100 km in its battery. A very low figure that makes it the market leader in terms of autonomy-price ratio. And what do you give up? With the Tesla Model Y Standard the customer also receives a somewhat trimmed car. Buyers say goodbye to the rear screen, the panoramic roof and the seats are cloth. Aesthetically, the front light line disappears and is replaced by two fine optics. Of course, the customer maintains the 15.4-inch screen and the most basic driving assistance systems, as well as wireless updates. A new impulse In our country, Tesla continues to lead electric car sales but the Tesla Model Y has been eating up ground. So far this year, the company has placed 7,667 units of the Tesla Model 3 and 4,586 units of the Tesla Model Y on the market. However, the Kia EV3 has managed to step on the heels of the Tesla car with 4,211 registrations that stand up to it when until now it was almost a chimera to assault the first two positions. Besides, Toyota has updated the bZ4X and with a aggressive campaign with taxi drivers (it was approved a few months ago in Madrid and Barcelona) is managing to make many customers jump into electric cars. Its 2,493 registrations place it as the fifth best-selling electric car. The Tesla Model Y Standard should be a boost to sales of the company. The car is a very tempting option as a fleet car, from taxis to companies. In fact, this is where it has a lot to gain at the European level since in Germany or Belgium they were growing this technology right through that channel. Why does an electric car have less autonomy than advertised? Click on the image to go to the Tesla page As for the range readjustment, With the arrival of the Tesla Model Y Standard, Tesla is also making its top models more expensive. The rear-wheel drive Standard Range disappears and the jump from the base model implies going to 49,990 euros with the Premium model. Options with all-wheel drive now cost 52,990 euros (Premium with all-wheel drive) and 61,990 euros (Performance). Obviously, all these prices are applied the MOVES III Plan as long as aid remains available or funds are increased. Photo | tesla In Xataka | The Tesla Model 3 and Model Y Standard confirms a story.

A genetic megaestudio reveals to what extent we continue to know little

by

Epilepsy is a disease of which We have a lot to investigate To be able to better understand everything behind. And little by little we are advancing in them. Specifically, an international team of researchers has put in check the idea that autism is only one type. In a study Published in Nature, it has been revealed that autism diagnosed in the early stages of life has a genetic development profile different from that which is diagnosed late. This finding not only explains part of the Huge diversity Within the spectrum, but it forces us to rethink how we understand, diagnose and investigate. What did we know. Until now, it was known that the age of diagnosis of autism varies greatly. Although it can be detected from 18 months, many receive their diagnosis in late childhood or even adulthood. It was thought that this was mainly due to social factors, clinical or the subtlety of symptoms. However, this new study shows that there is something deeper: a different genetic basis. The discovery. The study, which has been categorized as one of the greatest facts in history, analyzed the genetic and behavior data of more than 45,000 autistic people in Europe and the United States. The results are clear in this case: the polygenic architecture of autism can be divided into two great genetic factors that correlate with the age of diagnosis of this problem. Early diagnosis. This is the first factor and occurs when the genetic profile is associated with an earlier diagnosis and greater difficulties in social and communication skills during the early age of childhood. Interestingly, its genetic correlation with other mental health conditions such as ADHD It is moderate but significant. Late diagnosis. In the event that it is not done in the early stages of life, we are already in another genetic factor different from the first. In this case it is much more difficult to have socio -emotional and behavioral reactions during adolescence. The most striking thing in this case is that it presents a moderate to high genetic correlation with ADHD and other psychiatric pathologies such as depression, anxiety or post -traumatic stress disorder. In this way, as explained Varun Warrierneurologist at the University of Cambridge and main author of the study in statements To El País “the truth is that we did not expect such wide genetic variation between the profiles stratified by age at the time of diagnosis.” The behavior. These genetic profiles correspond to two different development trajectories observed in the participants. Using birth cohorts data, the researchers identified two patterns. The first is the one that arises in early childhood and is categorized by difficulties that appear soon and remain stable or decrease slightly in adolescence. People in this trajectory are more likely to be diagnosed in childhood. In a second point there is the one that arises in late childhood where people present less difficulties of young people, but these increase significantly when they grow until they reach adolescence. Why is it important. Uta Fith, one of the most expert in development disorders of the University College London, summarizes it for the SMC portal: “The article demonstrates that autism is not a unit condition. It makes it clear that children diagnosed early and those diagnosed later constitute two very different subgroups.” Fith goes further and directly attacks misinformation: “It is time to recognize that autism has become a disaster drawer of different conditions. If you talk about an ‘autism epidemic’, a ’cause of autism’ or a ‘treatment for autism’, the immediate question should be: what kind of autism do we speak?”. This discovery right now helps to explain why previous genetic studies on autism and ADHD showed contradictory results. The answer was in the average age of diagnosis of the samples used: at the highest age of diagnosis, the greater the genetic correlation between autism and ADHD. The weight of genetics. According to the investigation, the common genetic variants explain about 11% of the variation in the diagnosis age. It may not seem like a very high figure, but as Warrier clarifies, “it is similar or superior to most other factors that we have evaluated: concurrent language delays, intellectual disability, sex, socio -economic status of parents …”. In fact, individual sociodemographic and clinical factors rarely explain more than 15% of this variance. This does not make the rest of the diseases related to the disease less important. Access to Health, gender bias (Women are usually diagnosed later because they learn to disguise their behaviors), stigma or social camouflage remain crucial to understand when a person receives their diagnosis. In short, this study forces us to change the singular for the plural. Perhaps in the future let’s not talk about autism, but about autisms, each with their own genetic bases, development trajectories and support needs. A crucial step to offer more personalized help and to silence scientific populism that seeks unique and simple causes for a deeply complex condition. A very complex moment. Right now autism is in the mouth of many people, not only because Autism diagnoses is increasingbut also by Donald Trump’s statements that He blames to take Paracetamol In pregnancy as a risk factor of having this disease.

Five months later we continue to discover things about the blackout in Spain. And every time they are worse news for Europe

by

Five months later of the great blackout of April 28a preliminary report from the Technological Research Institute (IIT) of the Pontifical University Comillas has put the focus in an insufficient synchronous generation program in the peninsular south as a “fundamental cause” of the electric zero. The document, commissioned by Endesa and Iberdrola and sent to Entso-E, also questions operational maneuvers of Electrica de España (REE). A “collapse due to overtension.” The report introduces this unpublished concept in Europe. A phenomenon in which the tension rises uncontrollably by disconnecting renewable generation that operates with constant power factor. According to IIT calculationsthe safety margin available on the 220 kV network was 1,019 MW, but the disconnections exceeded 1,600 MW. Take into practice it would be when a renewable plant is disconnected, the tension rises. That increase causes new disconnections, which makes the tension rise more, in a vicious circle that ends in the collapse.As details the quotation note of Comillasthat cascade reaction is not precedents in the continent and shows that the simple verification that the tension is within the “is not enough” range to guarantee stability. A fragile and little inertia network. The debate is not “renewable yes or no”, but how to adapt the network and how it operates in high renewable penetration scenarios. The Iit Identify four critical points: Little programmed synchronous generation: in Andalusia there was alone A combined cycle group On the way, when the usual were several. Weak Network: At 9:00 in the morning, 35% of the 400 kV network was disconnected in the central and south areas. Dopsy inertia: In Andalusia it fell to 1.3 seconds, 35% less than the 2 seconds recommended by Entso-e. Risky maneuvers: between 12:00 and 12:30, Ree He connected eleven lines additional to try to cushion the oscillations, but those operations further reduced the safety margin. The chronology of a collapse announced. The government report had already described one morning with “Atypical volatility”. At 12:03 there was a first 0.6 Hz oscillation; At 12:19, another of 0.2 Hz but with a three -time amplitude. To stabilize, Ree reduced exports and connected lines that were disconnected. Far from improving the situation, the system tension increased. At 12:26, ​​the operator reached order the start From a combined cycle center in Andalusia, but the coupling time was more than an hour and a half: there was no room. From 12:32 The chain reaction began. At 12:33:19, the Peninsula It was completely dark. Shock of stories. Here it opens The crack between reports. The Government pointed to Ree in June for poor programming and a “insufficiency of dynamic tensions control capabilities.” Ree, in his own document, replied that there were several power plants that did not fulfill their obligation to absorb reactive energy, which aggravated the crisis. The electrical companies, meanwhile, denied any ruling and accused the government and ree of “opacity.” The new IIT report adds to debate Reinforcing the thesis that a scheduled synchronous generation was missing and questioning the operational maneuvers of the system operator, although it emphasizes that the analysis has the endorsement of international experts such as Goran Anderson and Pier Luigi Mancarella. And now what? The IIT recommends reviewing synchronous generation programming, strengthening tension control, using more predictive metrics and better coordinating all agents. The Government tried in July to approve A decree “antiapages” with sanctions, greater public control and more prominence for self -consumption, but the text shipwrecked in Congress. In addition, the Iberian Peninsula remains an “energy island”, with only 3% interconnection with France, which amplifies any operational error. Therefore, Spain and Portugal They have pressured To Paris to accelerate interconnection runners, “fed up with promises without calendar.” Closer and closer. Next Thursday, the European Network of Transmission Systems Operators (ENTSO-E) will publish your factual report with detailed chronology and the final technical data of the 28th. That document will be the basis on which Brussels and Member States discuss responsibilities and measures. The story of the 28th is not yet closed. And the Comillas report has just reopened it with a clear message: the energy transition does not fail to be fast, but for do not reinforce the network and the rules at the same pace.

Windows 10 was going to die next month. Microsoft has just thrown a lifeguard to all who wanted to continue using it

by

The end of official support for Windows 10 security updates It is near. However, if your intention is not to update Windows 11, either because you do not have a PC compatible with its strict requirements, or because you simply do not want, Microsoft offers A series of options To US and European users to obtain one more year of completely free security updates. Under these lines we tell you what options you have. Deadline for a few weeks. Microsoft had set on October 14 as the final final of the security updates for Windows 10, which meant that from that date there would be no more free security patches. This left the more than 650 million world users who continue to use this operating system in a delicate situation, having to update Windows 11 or run out of security updates. In Europe we win. Microsoft has enabled its domestic users two paths to get free updates. In Europe, Simply logged in With a Microsoft account to access updates for another year. After the pressure of multiple agencies in Europe, the company has confirmed that users of the European Economic Space will be able to enjoy an additional year of free security updates for Windows 10. In the United States, not so much luck. In the United States, The options you had announced are maintained. In this case, users will have two ways to stay in Windows 10 for one more year with free security updates. On the one hand, they can upload their profiles to the Microsoft cloud and make a backup through the app Windows Backupor redeem 1,000 points of the program Microsoft Rewards. Users who are selected for the extended security updates program (ESU) will find a notice through Windows Update and can thus select the option that best suits them. You can also pay. The other option is to pay $ 30 for an additional year. In the case of companies, the ESU program offers up to three years More updates, being more expensive than the previous one to keep the device in this operating system. In fact, in Windows 10, this program is the first time it is offered to users, being something exclusively oriented to companies so far. At the moment, domestic users will only have free updates up to one year if they choose any of the options described. The pressure that has led to this change. The decision has not emerged from nothing. European consumer organizations have actively pressed against the end of support. The French halte a l’Obsolescence Programee launched A petition asking for free updates until 2030, while the German consumer federation warned in May that Microsoft’s decision “worries consumers and limits their ability to make free purchase decisions.” From the Euroconsumers group, an organization dedicated to the protection of the European consumer, we can see A letter of response from the organization where they confirm that Microsoft has approved the users of the European Union to be able to obtain free security updates for another year in Windows 10 without having to do anything more than logging with a Microsoft account in the system. Incompatible hardware. Many users find that their teams do not meet the technical requirements of Windows 11, either by The TPM 2.0 chip mandatory, or by Specific instructions of processor that are indispensable for the operation of Windows 11. The good thing is that the first thing can be raffled, but the second does not. This leaves them in the position of having to buy a new computer or risk using a system without safety updates. The free extension gives them a one -year respite to evaluate their options. Other alternatives. However, there are also other third -party methods, such as the one that offers 0patchwho undertake to offer free security updates for Windows 10 to 2030. In addition, users can also explore alternative options such as Windows LTSC or try some Linux dystro (maybe it’s time). What comes later. This measure is temporary and strategic, since Microsoft gains time for more users to voluntarily migrate to Windows 11 while avoiding criticism for abandoning millions of people. After this year of grace, in theory there will be no more free security updates for Windows 10 users. But who knows, Microsoft is changing again in the face of so much pressure. We’ll see.

One of the machines that are used are prey, Monsters such as Tesla Gigapress that allow to shape the metal in a few seconds, but despite innovations, Toyota has a press that has been working as the first day and resist to leave. In fact, it is older than the car company itself, when Toyota was nothing more than a loom manufacturer. The Komatsu press. Now, Toyota is not only one of the Industry powersbut an example of reliability and one of the most manufactured cars. It is one of Japan’s economic engines, but a century ago, things were very different. In the 1920s, Toyoda (it was named for the surname of its founder, Sakichi Toyoda) It was a company that manufactured looms. Curiously, Keep being. Toyoda Automatic Loom, from 1924, was considered the most advanced loom in the world and the company saw that it should not be so different from an engine, so they got to work. They created their first engine, also their first car and, to accelerate production, acquired a huge 700 -ton press manufactured by Komatsu. This purchase was made in 1934, when Toyota was already in the car business, but three years before the formal foundation of Toyota Motor Corporation in 1937. With its 700 tons of strength, it could work with large body panels, shaping the metal sheets with ease, and it was the one that helped boost the business during the first years in the first years in the first years in the first years in the first years in the first years in the first years in HONshus plantto. The flag in the Sao Bernardo plant Travel. Masahiro Inoue, CEO of Toyota for Latin America and the Caribbean, highlighted That it was incredible that a Japanese company acquired such a large team before the war, since it had to be “incredibly expensive.” According to Inoue, they were able to face the purchase thanks to the money obtained by the sale of Patents from the Automatic Loom to a British company. During five years, the Komatsu press gave life to some of Toyota’s most iconic cars, but in 1962, they decided to open their first floor outside Japan. Located in Sao Bernardo, the factory needed specialized machinery for the local Variant of Land Cruiser, and decided that the Komatsu press should be installed on that new plant. After a very complicated logistics due to its dimensions and weight to move it to Brazil, for 39 years, the already veteran press proved to be vital for the construction of the Toyota Banderiant. After the end of the production of the SUV in 2001, he continued in service stamping pieces both for the Corolla as for the Hilux. Back home. In November 2023, the Sao Bernardo plant closed, but that did not mean the death of the veteran press. Toyota was, and it is still a machine factory, and I don’t know whether for adherence to the press or for something merely practical, They announced that he would return to Japan. In fact, as we read in Toyota TimesThey affirmed that he would have his own tribute because his new destination would be exactly the place he occupied in the Honsha plant during those years in which he helped to shape both cars and the company itself. President Akio Toyoda approved that “functional conservation” of the machine, because it will not be a mere museum piece: it will serve both for use in the manufacture of spare parts and to train the new factory employees. An icon. For 90 years, the Komatsu press has been key in the development of Toyota both for what it helped to forge and for representing that first large deployment of the company outside its borders. At this point, it is part of the spirit of the company, but also a sample of how, for certain such specific tasks, the passage of time and the creation of new machinery has not been able to take this pillar of the automotive ahead. Now, as Inoue commented, it was sure to be “greatly expensive”, but after 90 years, the investment is well amortized.
