I thought portable consoles were already defined. Lenovo has decided that they can also be folded in half

by

I think Lenovo is one of the brands that takes the most risks in the computer segment. And in the consoles: Lenovo Legion Go It’s a good sample. With several models under its belt, the brand has come to the MWC in Barcelona with a hybrid that is, above all, extravagant. But also original, I think there is no better way to please everyone. Do you want a portable screen to play with physical controls? Covered. A more compact panel to make it less uncomfortable? Check. Option to play with the panel vertically and horizontally? Of course. What if the controllers can become a standalone controller? And even with a mouse option. The Lenovo Legion Go Fold doesn’t marry anyone. Just because, It also has a foldable screen. Lenovo Legion Go Fold technical sheet Lenovo Legion Go Fold Concept SCREEN 11.8 inch POLED panel Resolution 2,435 x 1,712 pixels, 16:10 165Hz refresh 100% DCI-P3 500 nits Tactile DIMENSIONS AND WEIGHT 189.1 x 282.5 x 8.5mm 868 g (638 g modular + 230 g controls) PROCESSOR Intel Core Ultra 7 GRAPHIC CARD Integrated Intel Arc 140V GPU 64TOPS, 8 Xe-cores, 1.95GHz RAM 32GB LPDDR5x-8533 STORAGE 1TB PCIe SSD (Gen 4) 2242 OPERATING SYSTEM Windows 11 OTHERS Color: Eclipse Black PRICE Unspecified It is neither one thing nor another, it is everything It is not just a folding tablet, nor a video game console, nor a convertible laptop: it is everything at once. And with a format that can be expanded almost to the unimaginable within the gamer field. Goes from a tablet style surface to a console Steam Deck. Detachable, of course. Just like what happened to me with the modular laptop that Lenovo also brought to MWC, the Legion Go Fold goes a step further when you think it can’t expand further. Broadly speaking: It is a gaming tablet with anchored physical controls. It can be used both vertically and horizontally. It is a large tablet that folds in half into a smaller one. It runs Windows and has a keyboard as an accessory, so it can become a travel laptop. As was the case with the original Legion Go, the controllers can be joined together to function as an independent external controller. As a cherry on top, one of the controllers anchors to the base to become a mouse with a trigger. The device is a concept that is not yet definitive. However, it appears to be fully functional, all parts make sense, They are solid enough and they can be combined without excessive complication. Like all moving parts, the anchors are somewhat delicate to place: you have to remove a lock, slide the control down and separate it outwards. The lane is not too long, it gave me the impression that it was not as firm as it should be. Given the weight and size of the tablet, I don’t think it will be excessively comfortable for long periods of gaming. At least as long as he stays in suspense. A folding screen? Why not If it already seems strange that a tablet has two console controls anchored to the ends, seeing how the screen folds is the ultimate. Because of the size and because the folding looks somewhat rough: the edge is thick and leaves the panel exposed. However, it is the only way to fold the tablet so that it continues to function as a touch device. The folded Legion Go Fold is much more comfortable to play with. The problem is that Windows does not allow itself to be tamed to multiformat: System orientation does not adapt to portrait orientation. I also noticed different errors when resizing the windows, with the touch on the screen and with some buttons on the controls. The problems of direct. It is a concept and it is appreciated as such, a “I’m going to see how far I can go with removable elements.” The result is very curious to see, not so much to enjoy. At least in regards to everything related to the screen, because the design of the controls, its buttons, the detail of the mini-screen on one of the controls and its versatility are noteworthy. Quite far from viability Playing with an unfolded tablet of this size is not very comfortable, having physical controls attached even less so. Lenovo has already more than proven the Legion Go format, it is the path it is going to follow. And surely the experience gained with the Fold will help to improve the commercial family, such as adding a small screen to the controls. Lenovo is the PC manufacturer that usually surprises me the most with its proposals. Take risks even if these experimental products do not go beyond concepts. And when I tried them I found solid, well-thought-out devices with established technologies. I don’t think that combining a folding tablet with controls will come to fruition, but who knows. We ended up seeing it in stores the same way. Images | Ivan Linares In Xataka | Best tablets in quality price. Which one to buy based on use and recommended models

The amount of snow that is accumulating in the Pyrenees can only be defined in one way: truly crazy

by

If this piece had to be summarized in a single concept, this time it would be easy: lots of snow. A huge amount of snow. Every week, the Ebro Hydrographic Confederation publishes a snow reserve estimate in the basin. Analyzing this week’s data is surprising and, if the forecasts are right, next week is going to be spectacular. So much snow? A lot, yes. As They explained in Northern Meteo“the snow reserve on the Spanish side of the Pyrenees reached the 75th percentile of the 2002-2026 series on January 19.” That means that “in 15 out of every 20 years” there is less snow than what accumulates on the summits right now. Just see how Port del Comte is in the Solsona Pyrenees (or the Puerto de la Ragua in Almería), to realize that this is not normal. After years with a negligible snow reserveseeing the mountains like this is a joy that reminds us of the good times. But, as I say, this is the parrot’s chocolate: taking into account the impact of Storm Harry and the carousel of fronts that comes (with Ingrid at the helm), the models predict that the 90th percentile will be reached throughout this week. If so, “we would touch 1500hm3 of water in the form of snow.” And there is a lot of water coming. It’s better don’t beat around the bush: “the next two weeks will bring very heavy rain, strong winds, snow and rough seas.” But, in addition, it comes accompanied by cold and that, as we have explained, is going to collapse the snow level. In the coming days, it is very likely that we will see snow in most of the inland provincial capitals. It will only take hold in the mountains, but this gives a fairly graphic image of what is coming our way. What can we expect? Since Friday, when the first front knock down the thermometers of the northwest halfwe can expect cold, rain and snow. For Friday Snowfall warnings have already been activated in the interior of Galicia, most of Castilla y León, the Cantabrian mountain range and the Picos de Europa, Guadalajara, Cuenca, the Iberian system, the Central system, the Betic system and the Pyrenees. The accumulated will be more than 20 centimeters in Sanabria, the Ourense mountains and the León mountain range. on saturday are expected snowfall in Navarra, the Basque Country, Cuenca, Aragon, the Betic system and the Pyrenees. Here, as I say, they will be especially intense. Sunday is back, the snow can reach areas of the northern half, and some points of Castilla-La Mancha or Andalusia The great panorama. But beyond all that, what awaits us is an exceptional snow season. Although the rest of the winter will be much calmer, warmer and drier: we will have reserves of snow like we haven’t had in a long time. And that’s a lot more than we thought we could say at this point.

European banks have already defined their plan to depend less on Visa and Mastercard

by

Bizum It is a sensational tool for online payments in Spain, but it has a problem: it is not international. Or at least not much. International online payments in the European Union depend largely on two big names: Visa and Mastercard. There is no European system Made in Europe that allows the rapid shipping of money, but it is something that the European payments initiative (EPI) wants to solve. His proposal already has a name, Wero, and his plan is as follows. Context. The European Payment Initiative It was founded in 2020 by 16 banking entities such as BBVA, Santander, Deustche Bank, Grupo ING, Unicredit and BNP Paribas. Its objective is to create a payment system and a European interbank network or what is the same, a platform capable of competing against Visa, Mastercard or PayPal. These are of American origin, so the idea of ​​EPI is to promote the independence and sovereignty of payments. For members “it is no longer a future project, but a need facing all European countries,” as they have exposed in a letter. The problem. That there are many local solutions, but none at European level made in Europe. For example, if we think of payments and money shipments between individuals in Spain and Andorra we have Bizum, but in Italy they have Bancomat, in Portugal they use MB Way, in Sweden it has Swish, in Switzerland they use twint and in other places, such as Germany and Austria, the use of PayPal It is widespread. The proposal of EPI with Wero is “to respond to this challenge through a unique payment solution, all in one, instantaneous and paneuropea, capable of covering over time all cases of payment use that consumers and professionals require.” A second, Wero? That is the name that this “European bizum” received in September 2023. It makes a certain sense: the word consists of “We” (us) and has similar pronunciation to “euro.” In addition, he approaches the word “Vero”, which is “truth” in Latin. He threw himself First in Germany Back in July last year, in France in September and in Belgium in November. Wero is integrated into the banks of the banks, so the experience is, for all purposes, nailed to Bizum’s. Image | Wero And what does it propose? According to exposes the EPI“A unique, safe and avant -garde paneurpea payment platform, with multipurparacities, which can work in all European markets for local and cross -border transactions.” That is, a kind of visa and bizum of Europe for Europe. Although it is not well known yet, Wero has the endorsement of the European Commission and 40 million registered users. In addition, it is already fully functional in both P2P and P2Pro transactions (individuals to companies). However, the reality is that the deployment is being slow. It is normal to be a project of these characteristics, however. For summer of 2025, the EPI plans to launch the payments in electronic commerce in Germany and Belgium to later do so in France and the Netherlands “laying the bases and test points for a viable European solution.” At the end of 2026, EPI intends to add the omnicanal payments, payments at the point of sale or in stores and invoices payments. The idea is to use QR codes and NFC technology. Bizum is international. The efforts are there and Wero is promising. However, and as far as Spain is concerned, it should be noted that Bizum has been international for just a few weeks. At the beginning of the month, Bizum confirmed that it was going to be integrated with Bancomat and MB Way, the payment solutions of Italy and Portugal, respectively. Banco Santander, Abanca and OpenBank already support international shipments. Caixabank, BBVA and Banco Sabadell will do it soon. Cover image | Wero

Six fears have defined their career

by

Jeff Bezos has founded two of the most successful companies in the last decade: Amazon and Blue Origin. His path to success was not only promoted by his leadership skills and his vision of the future, but also for seven fears that marked each and every one of the decisions he has made in his business career. These fears, far from being a weakness, became a force that motivated him to take risks, innovate and Build an empire which has transformed various industries. Since its inception, Bezos knew how to face their fears and turn them into Growth opportunities. 1. The fear of repentance Just as Jeff Bezos himself told Your graduation speech From Princeton, before founding Amazon, Jeff Bezos was a brilliant Wall Street analyst with a promising career. However, he abandoned the security and stability of a well -paid job to launch books online when no one did. To overcome this fear, Bezos developed what his “Repentance minimization framework“. This approach helps him make decisions based on what would bring him more peace of mind in the future, even if he implies taking risks in the present. As he said in An interview In 2001, one of the main fears that defined Bezos’ life was the fear to reach the end of his life and regret not having tried something important. “I realized that I wouldn’t regret trying something important, even if I failed. I knew that would chase me every day.” 2. The fear of losing competitiveness Bezos has always been very aware that success attracts competition, so it is necessary for companies to always remain at the forefront with a mentality that the millionaire called the mentality of “day 1” in its famous 1997 letter to investors of Amazon. This fear has led him to promote a culture of innovation Constant inside Amazon, always looking for one step forward. His obsession with the client and for continuously improving the services has kept him alert to the movements of his competitors to place one step ahead. “The second day is stagnation, followed by irrelevance, followed by an unbearable and painful decline, followed by death,” he said in his manifesto. A clear example of this was the Amazon Prime developmenta service that revolutionized the expectations of consumers in terms of fast shipments and digital content. This strategy was born from the fear of being overcome by other technological companies that also sought to captivate the public. 3. The fear of garages Directly related to the previous point. His “urgency” philosophy has driven him to act quickly in the design and development of new ambitious projects. For him, every moment counts, and inaction can be a more dangerous enemy than his own error. Jeff Bezos claims not to be afraid of his great competitors who, guiding himself by trends, can more or less predict. His true fear comes from a garage. “I am more afraid of two kids in a garage, than the competitors I already know,” assuredIn an interview. The great ideas and products that have changed the technology of the last 40 years have not come out of huge hierarchical structures in multinational, but have been the ideas of young people who have developed With just resourcesbut with large amounts of commitment and innovation. As he himself did when founding Amazon from the garage. 4. The fear of failure: CEO paranoia Although he is one of the most successful businessmen in the world, Bezos is not immune to fear of failure. It is not the only one. CEOs and managers of successful companies such as Jensen Huang de Nvidia or Peter Beck of Rocket Lab also They have confessed feel what is already known as “CEO paranoia”: a atrocious fear to fail and that their companies are ruined. However, these managers see failure as an essential part of the Innovation and growth process. They are aware that assuming risks means accepting that some ideas will not work, but also that these errors are opportunities to learn and improve. “I asked everyone here to wake up terrified every morning, with the sheets soaked in sweat,” assured The millionaire Fortune. 5. Failure as a lesson for success Despite being a successful millionaire, Jeff Bezos’ career has not been exempt from failures. However, instead of regretting them, he assumes them as part of a growth process. In his Letter to the 2015 shareholdersthe millionaire said: “I think we are the best place in the world to fail (we have a lot of practice!), And the failure and invention are inseparable twins. To invent you have to experiment, and if you know in advance that it will work, it is not an experiment.” An example of that culture of innovation were Alexaand Kindletwo disruptive products, which have finally established themselves in their respective areas. 6. Fear of uncertain future Jeff Bezos has always shown concern about the uncertainty of the future, both personal and global. This fear motivated him to found Blue Origin, his company from Space explorationwith the vision of finding solutions so that humanity can survive beyond the earth. “The land is finite and if the world economy and population will continue to expand, space is the only possible way,” collected Business Insider. Bezos believes that humanity must be able to expand towards other planets to ensure their survival. As he said in the Lex Friedman Podcastthis fear, far from being pessimistic, has become an engine to develop technologies that could change the fate of our species.
