Juan Roig believes that domestic cuisine has the days counted. There are eight million Spaniards who are already beginning to prove him

by

“I said it and I maintain it: in the middle of the 21st century there will be no kitchens”, with that simple phrase, Juan Roig (the executive president of Mercadona) summarized the future Of his company just a month ago: it was not only a banal prediction, it was a declaration of intentions. Then half Spain He was thrown on him. But there was something that half Spain did not know and Roig, yes: there are already eight million people who resort to the prepared dishes of the supermarket. And it’s just the beginning. What is happening? If we go to the datawe can see that, in recent decades, home cuisine had been in clear decline. Millenials ate 30% more often in restaurants than any other generation; When they cooked, they spent less time (one hour less than the week X) and, when they bought, they opted more for prepared meals, pasta and sweets than the rest. They are US data, but We could find A similar process in all Western countries It is true that in recent years the situation seemed to have changed (the survey World Cooking Index Gallupfor example, said that homemade cuisine had increased 10% in Spain in 2022 compared to 2018). However, everything seems to indicate that it is something close to pandemic that, little by little, everything returns to previous trends. And that have been seen from supermarkets. The figures The Kantar consultancy was given This same March and fit as a glove with another good number of related data. As Elena L. Villalvilla explainedduring 2024 Spanish households consumed more than 700,000 tons of prepared dishes: that is 17 kilos per head. Which represents an increase of 6.6 % compared to the previous year. The same data presented Roig last month confirmed the trend. The precooked dishes section of the supermarket chain “is already profitable and continues to grow.” In fact, it is present in 1200 of the 1600 establishments and follows an ambitious incorporation program (salmon with vegetables, roasted vegetables with romesco sauce, roasted rib or seafood salad). But the bet goes further. At least in Mercadona. As explained in DAP“The disappearance of kitchens not only translates into a greater offer of prepared dishes, but also in a simplification of fresh products, destined to reduce the time we dedicate to the kitchen. “ The best example is the fish market section in which the products ready for cooking are increasingly weight without the intervention of any store in store. And why? From the Kantar point of view, the explanations are very simple: “comfort, lack of time and the increasingly elaborate and healthy proposals by supermarkets.” As explained by the Director of Great Consumption ClientsVeronika Khurshudyan, in Infobae, consumers “not only buy food, look for solutions.” This is the background key: solutions. Because, deep down, the twentieth century has been a century in which more and more food process stages have been taken out of domestic kitchens. Today, our country Only 28% of the Spaniards cooks from fresh foods. Fourth range foods (raw packaging, minimally processed and ready for cooking) began to introduce in the late 80s in Spain. And, although they have been with us for 35 years, Only recently have they introduced themselves completely. Just behind the fifth range: an arrival that It was truncated by the pandemicbut that has already recovered and takes speed. That is based on Roig’s prophecy; But, above all, that is based on a good part of the key changes in the food of the future.

Your Android mobile will begin to restart only every three days if a condition is met. It’s excellent news

by

Google is deploying a new security function inherited from iOS. The source code I made believe that this characteristic would be exclusive to Android 16but now we know it will be universal. Your Android mobile will restart every three days, automatically, if it remains inactive during that period. A function that a priori may seem lower, but whose impact is much higher than it might seem. What will happen. The new notes of Google system versionrelated to the updates of Google Play services, refer to a new exclusive function for mobile phones. “(Telephone) With this function, your device will restart automatically if it remains blocked for 3 consecutive days.” The explanation cannot be easier: if you do not use your phone for 72h, that will restart automatically. It is something that It has been happening in iOS from version 18and that addresses a main reason. Why will it happen. That your Android will restart every three days if you do not use it is not a whim, it is a security measure. A newly restarted phone is a safer phone. ROMs as Grapheneos They restart the phone every 18h (even if we are using it), and is one of the most recommended practices to protect the mobile. The importance of restarting. Security reports point out that We should never have the mobile on 24/7. Restart the phone eliminates certain processes and data stored in memory. Some of these temporary data are precisely those used by attackers to exploit system vulnerabilities. Restarting the phone is not a magical solution, but one of the best ways to keep the mobile somewhat more protected. In addition, in the case of Android, it is something that can help your useful life. During the week we accumulate apps processes and processes that do not close, and restarting the phone everything returns to its initial state. The face b. It is more than likely to have a secondary mobile. A mobile of work, one that you use as GPS, or any telephone oriented to specific functions. Many of these phones are almost always lit and we may have not restarted months. If this is the case, make sure you know the unlock code and the PIN code of the SIM card, since in each restart you will be required. And if you forget the pinyou just have to use the Puk or contact your operator. If you forget the mobile unlock codeyou are in trouble.

The last two days of the bag have been worse than 99.6% of every day since 1929. It is as chungo as it sounds

by

There was omens that placed today as another “black Monday.” The original occurred on October 28, 1929 and was one of the days More devastating In the history of Wall Street when the Dow Jones index collapsed 12.8% in a single day, losing billions of dollars in market value. The consequences then lasted decades. In the end it will not be so much, But “almost”. In fact, the last days will be recorded as one of the worst of the history of financial markets. An unprecedented collapse. In a surprising turn for Wall Street, the recent wave of tariffs promoted by President Donald Trump has triggered one of the most severe stock market collapses in recent history, making more than thunder from 5 billion dollars in share value in just two days and dragging Global markets. Nasdaq 100 entered GUBBER TERRITORYthe Commodities They collapsed and investors in corporate bonds ran to buy Insurance against defaults. The magnitude of the impact, fueled by rates up to 50% imposed on dozens of countries, even exceeded the worst forecasts, and marked the breakdown for a financial ecosystem that for decades was one of the main beneficiaries of presidential power in the United States. Trump, strategic chaos and indifference. Bloomberg had that, far from showing concern, Trump seems to be hugged the turbulence Stock as a necessary price to correct the imbalances of global trade. In private and public, he insists on standing firm, and has begun to focus his attention on assets such as 10 -year Treasury bonds and oil pricescelebrating their falls without recognizing that they could precess a recession. The markets and the breakdown. After weeks of speculation about whether the tariff threats were not real, investors finally accepted the Scenario severity. More than twenty previous ads had been nothing, but the 11% collapse In two days he forced Wall Street to react. Besent, who allegedly had to moderate Trump, has been harshly criticized for not preventing such a disaster. Although some still expect the president to reconsider if the pain persists (today has said that it will not turn back), the fall of the Asian bags (with collapses up to 7.9%) and the Activated firewall In Japan they reflect that increasingly global destabilization. Some historical data in context: the day was worse than 99.6% of business days since 1929. It was also the worst of all time (more than 24,000 days) and the 35 worse day since 1945 Almost black Monday. As we said, the stock market has continued this morning, and although the worst omen were not fulfilled, the situation is equally disastrous. After confirming Trump that It will not go back In its aggressive commercial policy, defended as “necessary medicine”, the main world indices recorded dramatic collapses: The S&P 500 fell 2.8 % (The worst performance three days for the index since October 1987, or the Eleventh of all timebeing the tenth and twelfth during the great depression), the Nasdaq 3.1 %, and the Hang Kong Hang Sang index sank 13 %, its worst day of the century. In EuropeStoxx 600 lost 5.3 % and the German Dax briefly exceeded 10 % drop in opening. Goldman Sachs raised the probability of recession in the United States at 45 %citing the abrupt hardening of financial conditions after tariffs to many of the key commercial partners. Tariffs imposed by the United States “Victoria” by Trump. Despite the warnings, Trump has celebrated in networks that tariffs “will bring tens of billions to the country” and described the situation as “something beautiful to contemplate.” The Financial Times counted that the fear of a self -inflicted recession grows even between figures related to the president: the investor Bill Ackman warned of an “economic nuclear winter” and Stanley Druckenmiller He criticized any rate above 10 %. On the other sidewalk, the secretary of the Treasury, Scott Besent, minimized stock tremors such as “short -term reactions” and reaffirmed that the White House You will keep your course. The immediate reality, however, is that systemic collapse of actions, Commodities and coins that threatens to unleash a global recession caused from Washington. Memories of the past. References to Black Monday, 1929 and others collapses Historical have not been long in coming. During that decade, millions of Americans invested in the stock market, many buying actions on credit with margins of just 10%, which amplified panic when prices began to fall. As a direct consequence, between 1929 and 1932, the market lost about 89% of its valueunemployment in the United States exceeded 25%, more than 9,000 banks broke, and the country’s GDP was reduced in almost 30%. That stock market crisis not only plunged the United States into The great depressionbut it had economic and social repercussions worldwide, altering the global economic order throughout the 1930s. Comparisons. We are not in the same box, of course, but The data They are equally worrisome. Let’s think that the last two days of stock market are worse than 99.6% of the days of the stock exchange since 1929. Perhaps, many analysts agree that the current stock market situation caused by the Trump tariff offensive and the intensification of the trade war can be compared, in terms of volatility, loss of investment confidence and systemic risk, with the 2008 global financial crisisalthough with fundamental differences in its causes and nature. As in 2008, markets have experienced abrupt collapses: those More than 5 billion dollars who vanished from the value of US actions In just two daysand the Nasdaq 100 entered the bassist territory, which reflects a collapse of the feeling of similar or very similar to panic lived after the Lehman Brothers bankruptcy. A deliberate crisis. Also, as then, corporate bond markets are showing voltage signals. However, while in 2008 the epicenter was the collapse of the financial system and the mortgage market, the current stock market has a clearly political component: it originates from unilateral commercial policy decisions, which introduce uncertainty about the economic direction of the country.

We have studied the bones of some mice that passed 37 days in space. The results are not optimistic

by

In November of this year, if there are no unforeseen events, in November of this year humanity will celebrate an anniversary. They will be fulfilled 25 years of human presence continued in space. The exploration of the last border has advanced significantly and humans spend more time in space and aspire to get further. But that has a price. The cost of microgravity. A team of researchers has analyzed The effects of a spatial mission on mice and the results do not invite optimism. They observed that the stay severely affected the bones of these rodents, who lost bone density in parts of their body. The femur, great victim. This loss of bone mass was not given in all areas equally. The team observed, for example, that the femur was one of the bones where the most extended bone cavities. In contrast, the lumbar zone of mammalian spine were the least affected. This makes the study responsible for the study suspect that the main trigger for this loss of bone density is in the microgravity. For example, the team indicates an alternative hypothesis, radiation. As they explain, the mice in the ISS were not exposed to large doses of radiation from space, but if this had been the loss of bone mass would have occurred from outside, that is, that the bones closest to the surface would have been more damaged, while the most surrounded by muscle bones would have been more protected. 37 days in orbit. The experiment used mice to explore how long rooms in space affect. They were used Two groups of micesome that were sent to the space station for a mission of 37 days and others that remained on Earth as a control group. The team responsible for the study simulated flight conditions in the control group to be able to make the conditions similar in everything except in the space stay. Similar, not identical. Those responsible for the study explain in a video how mice and humans keep important biological similarities that imply the changes we see in some are probably also giving in others. There are also differences to consider. For example, the fact that humans are bipeds implies that the bones of our lumbar zone have a more important role in supporting the weight of the upper part of our body. This implies that these bones are probably more affected in humans than in mice. The details of the study were published In an article In the magazine Plos One. If you don’t use it, you lose it. The body often tries to optimize resources. That is why a possible explanation to this phenomenon is there, in the idea that, since the bones in microgravity do not need to endure the weight of our body, they lose mass and density. Other risks. The study points to microgravity as the main suspect of the loss of bone density but this is not the only risk to take into account when we devise long -term space trips. Radiation is perhaps the most important in this sense, to the point that it was considered as a candidate to cause bone mass loss in mice. Radiation implies an additional problem and that, although in places like the moon and Mars the seriousness of the bodies could reduce the deterioration of the bones associated with the microgravity conditions, the same cannot be said of radiation. Moreover, the radiation in these environments is greater since the International Space Station even protected by the Earth’s magnetic shield.

In just a few days Rapidus will begin operating a pilot line of 2 Nm chips

by

Rapidus is a very young company. It was founded on August 10, 2022 by the Japanese government with an initial capital of 7,346 million yen (just under 46 million euros) contributed by, and here comes the interesting, Sony, Toyota, Nec, SoftBankKioxia, Denso, Nippon Telegraph and Mufg Bank. The initial capital invested in the constitution of this company is not very bulky, but there is no doubt that the companies that participate in it have an indisputable relevance in the sectors of technology, automotive and telecommunications. The relevance of this organization, in any case, lies in the role entrusted to him by the government currently led by Shigeru ishiba. And this is the company with which Japan aspires to recover competitiveness in the semiconductor manufacturing industry that had three decades ago. Its economy is at stake. In fact, this Asian country began to deploy its strategy to reinforce its integrated circuit industry more than two years ago, so the first results begin to see the light. Rapidus is ready to start the manufacturing tests of avant -garde chips Japan is currently investing more money in its sector of integrated circuits than the US, Germany, France or the United Kingdom. Not in terms of net value, but its effort is greater if we weigh the investment of these countries on their gross domestic product (GDP). The US dedicates 0.21% of its GDP to its semiconductor industry, and Germany 0.41%. France, according to Nikkei Asia0.2%, and, finally, the United Kingdom 0.04%. The difference is very significant and puts on the table the effort that Japan is making with 0.71% of its GDP. Private investment has a very important role in the economic support of Rapidus Today several solvent media, such as Nikkei Asia either BloombergThey have collected that the Shigeru Ihiba administration is preparing an injection of 5.4 billion dollars specifically for Rapidus. And, as we have seen in the first lines of this article, Private investment It has a very important role in the economic support of this company. In any case, the most interesting is what Rapidus already has. And it is that the state -of -the -art semiconductor production plant that has taken to point in northern Japan, in the city of Chitose (Hokkaido), will begin in April the wafering processing tests in a pilot line. The directive’s directive plan is to start large -scale production of 2 Nm semiconductor In 2027. If he succeeds, this company will get recorded in a record time to TSMC, Intel and Samsung, which a priori will be its main short -term competitors. In addition, what is causing the new Rapidus factory to monopol It will be completely automated. Its purpose is to resort to robots and artificial intelligence (AI) to tune an automated production line that will be specialized in the manufacture of 2 nm chips for AI applications. Its plan consists, in short, to produce integrated circuits faster, with a lower and more quality cost.

The plan to empty in six days its islands closest to Taiwan

by

Two news in recent months have ended up becoming a revealing announcement. The first occurred at the end of January, when many of the Sakishima Islands (the closest to Taiwan) began a series of a series of any weekend Evacuation drills. Shortly after, Japan made a historical decision: deploy long -range missiles In some of these islands. How much? Enough to get to China. Now, in the face of doubts to a war conflict, it has officialized a plan. Evacuate mission. Japan has presented for the first time A formal plan To evacuate more than 100,000 civilians, including residents and tourists, of the remote islands near Taiwan, specifically Sakishima archipelagolocated at the southwest end of the country. The plan occurs in a context of growing military tension In the Taiwan Strait, where the threat of a possible Chinese invasion has generated concern in Tokyo and the international community. To be exact, the measure includes the evacuation of Approximately 110,000 residents and 10,000 tourists through the mobilization of ships and airplanes to eight prefectures of Western and Southwestern Japan, with the goal of completing the operation in a Maximum period of six days. The evacuees would be initially transferred to the island of Kyushu and from there distributed to different destinations that are already being prepared with temporary accommodations. Military and drill preparations. As we said at the beginning, the drills have been carried out In the last datesbut without great explanations about the main reason. Now, and as part of the reinforcement of security and logistics preparation, the Japanese government has announced that as of April next year it will carry out Evacuation exercises In the Sakishima Islands, which are part of the Okinawa Prefecture, a key region that houses almost 50,000 American soldiers and that has historically been considered strategic for the defense of Japan. In addition, and as we count a few days ago, the installation of units of Surface-Aire missiles on the island of Yonagunilocated only 100 km from Taiwan, and the construction of provisional underground shelters, equipped with food and supplies for at least two weeks. These measures seek to improve defense capacity in the event of an eventual attack and ensure the protection of local populations. Increasing tensions. Although the evacuation plan does not explicitly mention Taiwan, it is evident that the growing possibility that the self -governor island (claimed by China as part of its territory) becomes the epicenter of a military conflict has been the trigger for the initiative. China ha Increased military pressure About Taiwan in recent years and has not ruled out the use of force to Force “reunification”. The precedent of the Russian invasion to Ukraine and the hardening positions Geopolitics, especially after Donald Trump’s return to the presidency of the United States, has increased the fear that the Taiwan Strait becomes the next great focus of conflict in Asia. United States and the weakness of the alliance. Possibly, the key reason that has led to Japan to missile implantation long range and to formalize an evacuation plan is uncertainty with the United States. In fact, the evacuation plan has been widely Extended in Taiwanwhere it has generated worrying interpretations about the reliability of regional alliances. Many Taiwanese and local analysts see the Japanese initiative as a sign that Tokyo does not trust In which Washington, under the policy of “America First” of Trump, maintains your commitment to defense against a conflict in the Strait. To this we must add the Recent statements from Trumpquestioning the reciprocity of the United States-Japan Security Treaty and highlighting that Tokyo It is not obliged To defend the United States in case of aggression, which has accentuated these concerns. A culture broth that has led to the perception that Japan is preparing “discreetly” to ensure its withdrawal of vulnerable areas without depending on US intervention. Reinforce regional defense. As we also said, Japan, in addition to the evacuation and militarization of the Sakishima Islands, has intensified its defensive strategy through the planned deployment of long -range missiles In Kyushu, expanding its ability to respond to threats from the Asian continent. Simultaneously, the Senkaku Islandsdisputed with China and administered by Japan, continue to be a friction point that could further complicate security in the region. The Japanese government has made it clear that all these measures are part of a comprehensive strategy Based on the forecast of “imminent armed attacks”, as Yoshimasa Hayashi, chief secretary of the Cabinet said. Vulnerability in the islands. The population of the most exposed islands shares government concern. In this regard, The Guardian told That Gen Nakatani, Minister of Defense, recently recognized the “strong sense of crisis” that is perceived among the inhabitants of these islands, who have historically witnessed the territorial disputes and military maneuvers in the region. The proximity of Yonaguni and other islands of the archipelago to the Strait of Taiwan, as well as the growing presence of China in the surrounding waters, make the feeling of threat constant. Therefore, the combination of planned evacuationstrengthening shelters, Armament deployment And cooperation with Washington, despite tensions, has a fairly clear objective: reinforce Japan’s resilience to a possible military escalation.

Issue ‘The Simpsons’ during the 24 hours 365 days a year on an exclusive channel

by

Disney has announced the launch of a stream In Disney+ of ‘The Simpsons‘: 24 hours, seven days a week of broadcasting of the 35 seasons that so far the series has completed. It will be almost 300 hours, 767 episodes of the most popular series in the history of television, although for now it does not seem that the thing will leave the United States. It doesn’t matter: the important thing is that, above celebrations of the enormous of the legacy of the Fox series, it makes clear in which mirror, apparently outdated, the industry of the streaming. An idea as simple as symbolic. Who may want to sit down to see the episodes of ‘The Simpsons‘In chronological order? Since 2020 the episodes are released in Disney+ a few hours after their broadcast in Fox, and of course, the 36 -year historical of the series is available on the platform. But more with ‘The Simpsons’ than with any other series, the nostalgia effect works perfectly. Or do we not remember all those views at noon in Antena 3 of the golden age of the animation series? Visted in which, until the last Mommto, it was not very clear what episode we were going to see. It is not the only stream. Since September of last yearDisney+ is experiencing in the United States (although at no time they close completely to an export to other countries) with the continuous issuance of different types of stream. It is, on the one hand of selections of content of the platform, plus some live programming: they opened the experiment with ABC News Live, a preschool content playlist, Playlists Seasonal that have been rotating in times such as Christmas or Halloween, selections from the company’s success franchises (Marvel, Star Wars, Disney), a Playlist of classic and nostalgic content and another dedicated to documentaries, biopics and realities. The Xanadú of Linear Television. This Disney+ experiment is not complete Its inauguration in 2020: Netflix Direct. Behind all this, and from this new proposal of Disney+, a clear objective: escape from the saturation sensation That the immense catalog of the platforms place before us. Before the infinite choice syndrome, not choose at all. Nostalgia when TV was good. And as we said above, there is also some nostalgia for the times when our favorite weekly series was an event. Or that we always see the same series, as happened with ‘The Simpsons’, ‘The Prince of Bel-Air’ or other midday sitcom imposed some routines where we were very far from feeling saturated because there was too much to do. What was there, without more, and the nostalgia of those simpler times is also behind these decisions. The resilience of the usual TV. A recent study He claimed that more than half of the Europeans still had traditional television as a primary destination for their television hours, partly because of the customs acquired after years in front of the device. It is just another example of how old customs remain, or at least they transform: the Amazing growth of fast channels (To which this Simpson stream could belong if it were independent of Disney+), with 1900 linear channels in the US in 2024 compared to only 1,000 in 2023 it is good proof: we are not yet prepared to abandon the old customs, and ‘The Simpsons’ will try to benefit from it.

Pebble creator resurrects his legacy with 30 days of autonomy and electronic ink screens

by

Years after the disappearance of Pebble, the smart watch that inaugurated a category through Kickstarter in 2012, Its creator returns to load. Core Devices, the new company founded by Eric Migicovsky, has just presented two models that recover the essence of the original Pebble: Core 2 Duo and Core Time 2. This time, the bet is to recover the original philosophy of the product, thanks to that Google released Pebbleos as an open source in January. Core 2 duo and core time 2 technical sheet Core 2 duo Core Time 2 SCREEN 1.26 inches E-paper monochromatic 144 x 168 pixels, 176 dpi With backhoper 1.5 inches e-paper color (64 colors) 200 x 228 pixels, 202 dpi With backhoper INTERACTION 4 physical buttons 4 physical buttons + touch screen MATERIALS Polycarbonate frame (black or white) Metal frame (several color options) Sensors 6 -axis Imu Compass Barometer 6 -axis Imu Heart rhythm monitor Connectivity Not specified Compatible with iOS and Android Not specified Compatible with iOS and Android CHARACTERISTICS Microphone and speaker Vibration motor (linear resonance actuator) IPX8 water resistance Step and sleep monitoring Microphone and speaker Vibration motor (linear resonance actuator) IPX8 water resistance Step and sleep monitoring BATTERY 30 days of autonomy 30 days of autonomy Load connector Standard pebble charger Standard pebble charger BELT 22 mm 22 mm Operating system Pebbleos (open source) +10,000 WatchFaces and Applications Pebbleos (open source) +10,000 WatchFaces and Applications PRICE $ 149 225 dollars AVAILABILITY Shipping from July 2025 Shipping from July 2025 Unlike the current trend in smart watches, which usually bet on high resolution AMOLED screens in exchange for more limited autonomies, Core Devices Recover the philosophy that made Pebble popular: screens e-paper Always active with an outstanding autonomy of 30 days. Core 2 duo is an evolution of Pebble 2with monochromatic screen and a simplified design with polycarbonate body. Meanwhile, the Core Time 2 represents the high range with a screen e-paper a Color of 64 tones, metallic frame and additional functions such as heart rate monitoring and touch screen. The return of a different philosophy The new Core Devices watches keep Pebble DNA intact, but with notable improvements. The main advance is autonomywhich passes from the 7 days of the original 30 -day models on the new devices. Both models incorporate microphone and speaker, elements that were not present in all the original Pebbles. Pebbleos, now open source after Google’s decision (owner of Fitbit, which in turn acquired the intellectual property of Pebble in 2016), remains the heart of these watches. This guarantees the compatibility with more than 10,000 watchfaces and existing applications. Image: Core Devices. Eric Migicovsky, original founder of Pebble and now in front of Core Devices, explained in his blog A couple of months ago he decided to resume the project because “nobody makes a smartwatch with the basic set of features I want.” Among these essential characteristics, it stands out: E-paper screen always active (visible under sunlight, discreet). Long battery life (to avoid frequent loads). Simple and well -designed user experience focused on basic functions (time, notifications, music control, alarms, weather, calendar, sleeping/steps monitoring).

Unlike the aggressive growth approach that characterized Pebble in its beginnings, Migicovsky has opted this time for a more sustainable model. “I am building a small and centered company to manufacture these watches. I have not planned to raise money from investors or hire a great team. The emphasis is on sustainability, “he said in his blog. Core Devices has not launched a Kickstarter campaign, but offers direct reserves through its website, with the possibility of complete cancellation and reimbursement until the shipment, estimated for July of this year. Google’s decision of convert pebbleos into open source software It has been fundamental for this rebirth. According to Migicovsky, “Pebbleos took dozens of engineers working for four years to build, along with our fantastic product equipment and quality control. Reproducing that for new hardware would take a long time.” The Pebbleos Source Code It is now available in Githuballowing any developer to use, bifurcar and improve the operating system. This opens the door not only to official Core Devices watches, but potentially to other manufacturers interested in creating devices compatible with the Pebble ecosystem. Price and availability of the core 2 duo and core time 2 The new Core Devices watches They are already available to book.

Musk, Gates, Zuckerberg and Altman believe that our mobiles have the days counted. Tim cook doesn’t have it so clear

Substitute is sought for the mobile phone. We have been looking for it for years, but it is that smartphones continue to prove to be perfect products in almost all the scenarios. However, several great technological leaders They seem clear that the mobile has an expiration dateand the AI ​​and a potential change in the way we interact with technology have the fault. Elon Musk and Neuralink. The tycoon has been trying to win the AI ​​career for some time With his startup XAI And his Grok model, but also has another startup that will end up being the one that makes the mobile disappear. It is neither more nor less than Neuralinkwhose implants could become an extraordinary option to communicate with technological devices. Bill Gates and the tattoos. The Microsoft co -founder converted to Philanthropist has already advanced in 2022 that one of the potential substitutes (or rather, accessories, at least in this case) of mobiles They are electronic tattoos. He himself ended up investing in a startup called Chaotic Moon —What was acquired by Accenture in 2015 – that combines aesthetics and biotechnology. The orientation of these tattoos is for the health moment, but it could be used for other uses. Mark Zuckerberg and glasses. Much more plausible looks like Meta and Mark Zuckerberg, than with their Ray-Ban Meta connected glasses It proposes an increasingly promising alternative to the mobile. Maybe not for everything, of course, but every time for more things. These devices can win many integers thanks to artificial intelligence, and in fact we saw how their evolution, the Project Orionit does raise a future in which perhaps the mobile is much less relevant. He already said it: His prediction is that In 2030 we will not get so much the pocket smartphone Thanks to connected glasses. Sam Altman and the AI ​​iPhone. Meanwhile, the OpenAi CEO, Sam Altman, also seems to be clear that hardware can end up being the perfect substitute for our mobile devices. We still do not know what type of device is raising, but it has joined the famous Jony Ive who for years was the head of Industrial Design in Apple. Together they have the objective of Create the “AI iPhone”. Tim Cook continues to believe on the mobile. Faced with all of them, Tim Cook believes that mobile phones still have a long way ahead. In the presentation of results of the first fiscal quarter of 2015, the Apple CEO highlighted its optimism about the future of mobiles When saying “I think there is still a lot of innovation in smartphones.” Its pro vision are for example a product that is not raised to be used outdoors, but they seem to have a rival for the finish line in study through the Project Atlas. Hardware with AI has been a failure. The truth is that a year ago the fever of devices with AI seemed to promise a turning point. However both the Humane Ai Pin like him Rabbit R1 They ended up being two great technological fiascos. None met expectations, and today both products are practically missing from the map. The optimism of Musk, Gates, Zuckerberg or Altman is striking, but today the mobile seems to continue having rope for (much) time.
