Steam disinfection and extra-thin design for less than 200 euros

by

If you’ve ever tried to clean under a sofa with a wet-dry vacuum cleaner, you’ll know how frustrating it can be: most of the deposits stuck to the handle prevent the device from completely lying down. Roborock seems to have taken note of this problem in its new catalog of upright vacuum cleanersbringing to Spain two models that directly attack the usual weak points of this category: maneuverability and disinfection. The new ones Roborock F25 Steam and Roborock F25 GT Gen 2 They are now officially available in Spain from 199 euros (per launch campaign), thus offering a very interesting alternative to traditional high-end brands. roborock F25 GT Gen 2 Wet and Dry Vacuum Cleaner The price could vary.

We earn commission from these links F25 Steam: steam at 180°C so you don’t have to scrub by hand The star model of this launch is the Roborock F25 Steam, a device designed for those looking for maximum hygiene without resorting to chemicals. Its great asset is technology VaporFlowcapable of projecting steam at 180°C directly onto the floor to soften stubborn grease and dirt in a single pass. Beyond steam, it solves two of the main problems of this type of vacuum cleaners: Gets under the furniture: Thanks to the FlatReach 2.0 system, the vacuum cleaner reclines until it is completely flat (only 12.5 cm thick), allowing you to clean under beds or sofas without losing suction. Self-maintenance: At its base, it not only washes the roller with steam, but dries it with hot air at 95 °C to avoid bad odors due to retained moisture. With a autonomy of up to 80 minutes in Eco mode and dirt sensor in real time (DirTect), is a cleaning beast that costs the usual 589 euros, although it comes with an introductory offer for 459 euros. roborock F25 Steam Vacuum Cleaner and Steam Scrubber The price could vary.

Unlike the previous generation, the brand has redesigned the weight distribution by placing the water tank in the lower area. This makes it much more agile to push and turn between the table legs. It maintains the ability to lie down at 180º and stands out for its respectable 20,000 Pa of suction and a dual scraper system (JawScrapers) designed so that dog or cat hair does not get tangled in the roller. In addition, its base also includes self-cleaning and thermal drying at 90ºC. roborock F25 GT Gen 2 Wet and Dry Vacuum Cleaner The price could vary.

This is the new Huawei FreeClip 2 S, headphones with a design more like a jewel

by

When looking for new headphones, not everyone wants them to offer the best possible sound. There are other things to evaluate, including its design. Precisely for this reason, the Huawei FreeClip 2 S catches our attention, headphones that look more like a jewel for the ears. and since they can now be purchased: they have a price of 229 eurosbut MediaMarkt has them available for 199 euros. The price could vary. We earn commission from these links Ideal headphones for those looking for something different These new Huawei headphones follow the same line as the first FreeClips. They are headphones with a clip design made up of three parts: a part that is behind the ear where the battery goes, one that is placed inside the ear and is where the driver is, and a C-shaped bridge between both parts. What result does this structure offer? Well, as our colleague explains Jose Garcia, They make them very comfortable to wear for hours. The case is also different from those we usually see on other headphones, with a spherical design and a mirror-like finish. Huawei promises that these headphones are capable of offering 9 hours of total playback, reaching 38 hours if we count the battery in the case. In addition, they have multipoint connection, which allows you to connect the headphones to several devices at the same time. On a sound level, these new Huawei FreeClip 2 S meet a good level, especially if we take into account that they have some bass that feels pretty good (something commendable if we take into account the format they have). In addition, they will also allow us to take phone calls and have several gestures to perform certain actions, such as pausing the music or invoking Gemini. ⚡ IN SUMMARY: huawei freeclip 2 s ✅ THE BEST Very comfortable headphones: Their design, in addition to being very attractive and eye-catching, is designed to be very comfortable even during very long sessions. Very good autonomy: They reach 9 hours of playback and 38 hours if we add the battery in the case. ❌ THE WORST They don’t have the best sound: Their sound is not bad, but it is below what other headphones offer in the same price range. 💡 BUY IT IF… You are looking for headphones with a different design, that are comfortable all day long and that have an open character so as not to isolate you from the outside. ⛔ DON’T BUY IT IF… Do you prefer a more conventional option or your priority is to have outstanding sound.

Instagram and Facebook are “addictive” by design. And Meta faces a fine of 12 billion dollars

by

The European Commission has concludedpreliminarily, that Meta violates the Digital Services Act (DSA) due to the “addictive” design of Instagram and Facebook. The organization and Meta have been arguing for years over a multitude of aspects related to the security and privacy of their social networks but, this time, the move could be very expensive for Mark Zuckerberg’s company, as it could be forced to redesign both applications and face a fine of up to $12 billion. por that. The conclusion of the European Commission comes after an investigation of more than two years which, if confirmed, would force Meta to change the internal functioning of two of the most used social networks on the planet. And it comes at a time when regulatory pressure on big technology companies for the protection of minors it doesn’t stop growingboth in Europe and in the United States. In detail. According to has explained The European Commission itself in an official statement, Meta “did not adequately assess the risks of its addictive design for the physical and mental well-being of users, including minors and vulnerable adults.” The European organization points directly to several specific functions: Personalized recommendations. Autoplay (automatic playback of content). The infinite scroll. Push notifications. Brussels maintains that these tools push the user to continue viewing content almost unconsciously, which the institution itself describes as going into “autopilot mode.” It also ensures that Meta ignored available data on the time that minors spend on Instagram and Facebook at night, as well as the role that formats such as reels or stories could play in excessive or compulsive use of the applications. Between the lines. What is striking is not only that Brussels points out the design of the apps, but also questions the tools that Meta already offers to limit their use. The Commission states that screen time controls, even those enabled by default for teenagers, “can be easily dismissed” and do not truly reduce use of the service. Regarding parental control, consider that it only works if parents have technical knowledge and dedicate time and effort to configure it, something that, according to the organization itself, limits its real effectiveness. Nor does he consider the mental health warnings that Meta offers in its “safety center” as sufficient. With these arguments, the Commission proposes that Meta should introduce specific design changes: deactivate functions such as autoplay and infinite scroll by default, incorporate effective screen pauses and adjust its recommendation system so that it depends less on keeping the user engaged, according to the institution’s own statement. How much money is at stake. If the conclusion is confirmed, Meta could be fined up to 6% of its annual worldwide turnover. Taking 2025 revenues as a reference, close to $201 billion, the penalty could be close to $12 billion. That can make goal. It should be noted that these are still preliminary conclusions and that there is still no firm sanction. Meta has the right to defend himself, review the documentation in the file and respond in writing before Brussels adopts a final decision. In parallel, the case will be consulted to the European Committee for Digital Services. The context does not play in favor of Meta. This research It has been open since May 2024and it has not been the only one. In parallel, the company faces another European investigation into its age verification systems for children under 13 years of age, whose preliminary conclusions were published in April, as detailed by the Commission itself. In addition, Brussels is preparing a report, scheduled for next Monday, on a possible ban on the use of social networks for minors under 16 years of age throughout the community bloc, according to they count from The Verge. Pressure also comes from the United States. In August, Meta will sit on trial over whether its applications are intentionally addictive, in a case in which several states are jointly demanding compensation that could reach $1.4 trillion. depending on the medium. And it would not be the first judicial defeat, since in March, a Los Angeles jury already declared Instagram and YouTube responsible for damaging the mental health of a 20-year-old girl, in a case that forced the companies to pay 6 million dollars jointly, according to share from Bloomberg. QEU says the Comywentn. “Protecting the physical and mental health of Europeans must be a priority for social media platforms,” ​​he said. declared Henna Virkkunen, Executive Vice President of the European Commission for Technological Sovereignty, Security and Democracy. Virkkunen added that the Digital Services Law “offers a clear framework to hold platforms accountable for the addictive design of their services and their effects”, and assured that Brussels is “fully committed” to enforcing European regulations. What Meta says. A spokesperson for the technology giant declared to the BBC that the company did not agree with the conclusions, “which do not properly take into account the important measures we have taken to protect teenagers.” “We share the European Commission’s commitment to providing adolescents with safe and positive online experiences, and we will continue to engage constructively with them,” it continued. And now what. The case enters a phase of allegations that may be prolonged. This is not the first time that the DSA has resulted in sanctions, since the norm itself has already been used to fine X 120 million eurosand with 200 million euros to the Chinese e-commerce giant Temu. We’ll see what happens with Meta. Cover image | Guillaume Perigois and Goal In Xataka | Anyone can tag you on Instagram to generate AI deepfakes with your photos. It’s Meta being Meta

Samsung is ahead of the presentation of the Galaxy Z Fold8 by showing the design change of the foldable. At last

by

There are a few days left to see Samsung’s new folding phones, but the South Korean company has decided that the speculation is over. In a series of videos, they have begun to show what the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold8 will be like, but they have done so in a rather peculiar way. Instead of showing the design like others do (Google with the Pixel before presentations, for example), they have decided indirectly show the most important change of the new folding: the form factor. With phrases like “A new way” and strange videos, Samsung makes one thing clear: we must welcome passport-style foldables. As a curiosity, one of the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold8 and the foldable iPhone It seems like they will have quite a bit in common. And I say “one of the Galaxy Fold” because everything indicates that we will have two versions: the true successor of the Galaxy Z Fold7 and the one who for a time It was known as Galaxy Fold Wide. The design change of the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Of all the videos that Samsung has shared, there are three in which this idea of ​​design change is clearly explored. From a traditional elongated format since the first Fold, it seems that we will move to a more square one both when the mobile is folded and when we unfold it. There are three videos that show this design change and they are quite revealing: There is another one cutting out a photo and another in which instead of a puzzle it is a chocolate bar. As I say, the three explore the idea that we are preparing the body for a design change, and the leaks have not been long in coming. While it is expected that there will be a Galaxy Z Fold8 with an elongated format (surnamed Ultra, perhaps), these Samsung videos seem to confirm that we will have a simply squarer Fold8. The leaks talk about a mobile phone with a 7.6-inch interior screen with a more square aspect ratio of 4:3. The external screen will be compact, with 5.5 inches and a 16:10 aspect ratio. To get an idea, the Fold7 had a 6.5-inch external screen with an 8-inch internal one with aspect ratios of 21:9 and 6:5 respectively. The translation is that the Galaxy Z Fold8 will be much more compact when closed, and when opened, it will practically be square. Very similar, as we say, to a passport. What has been leaking about the supposed iPhone Fold (or whatever it ends up being called) is very similar, with a more compact format that would share lines with Samsung’s. Obviously, neither one nor the other has been presented, so this is all speculation, but what we do know is that, in 2025, Apple chose to Samsung as the supplier of flexible OLED panels for its foldable iPhone. Thus, and as happened when the iPhone made the leap to OLED screens, there will be two competing mobile phones that will have the same screens and the changes will be calibration between one brand and another. It makes perfect sense for Samsung to take advantage of the fact that it has developed a panel with a new aspect ratio for Apple to create a third foldable (the other would be the Flip) that would mount that panel to compete, directly, against its historic great rival. In the end, it will be up to the consumer to decide whether they prefer Android or iOS, but they will have to choose two foldables with a very similar (if not identical) form factor. And it seems like a change that makes complete sense to me. ‘Passport’ foldables = the best foldables Now, this design is not new and, in fact, has been in place for years. In Spain, the book-type foldables that are most seen are those that share a form factor with Samsung’s: elongated when folded, small tablets when we open them. They are not the most comfortable to use with one hand when they are folded and we are walking down the street, really. It’s not official, but this is supposedly what the iPhone Fold will be like But then there are the Pixel Fold with an external aspect ratio of 17.4:9 or my favorite of all foldables: the Oppo Find N. The screen of the latter is 5.49 inches 18:9, and they are form factors more similar to what these two new folding devices from Samsung and Apple are estimated to have. The translation is that using a mobile phone like the Oppo Find N on the street is extremely comfortable because, in practice, It is as if it were a compact mobile. In fact, if the leak that the external screen will be 5.5 inches is true, we would be talking about diagonals that we have not usually seen for years, when the Zenfone 10 With its less than 6 inches it was considered a compact mobile. It’s already a few years old, but if you want to imagine what this new batch of foldables will more or less be like, take a look at the video we published about the Oppo Find N: That one-handed operation was the detail that we highlighted the most at the time and what represents a real change compared to the rest of the foldables on the market because we still have a large screen when opening it, but if we don’t want to do so, we have a very manageable external one in which the thumb covers the entire diagonal with ease. Now, will the market accept that design? In the case of Samsung, if the rumors are true, the consumer will have three options to choose between the Flip and the Square Fold8 and the more traditional Fold8 Ultrabut in the case of the iPhone, Apple will only have one bullet. In any case, as we have already mentioned, they are rumors (especially in the case of the … Read more

The last link that Huawei was missing to do without the West in chip design has appeared

by

There is an indispensable component to the semiconductor industry that often goes unnoticed: the software used to Design cutting-edge integrated circuitsknown as EDA by its English name (Electronic Design Automation or automation of electronic design). It is currently in the hands almost exclusively of US controlled companies and its allies, so China needs to have its own software tools specialized in chip design. And little by little he is having them. One of the Chinese companies that are already working in this area is SEIDAand, curiously, its leader knows the American idiosyncrasy very well. Liguo “Recoo” Zhang is Chinese, but he has lived in the US for several decades and has worked at Siemens EDA, the US subsidiary of this German company that dominates the chip design software market in China. SEIDA promised to have its OPC software ready (Optical Proximity Correction or optical proximity correction) by early 2024, but has since disappeared from the news radar. OPC software is very important because it corrects in advance the optical distortions that occur during the photolithography process. When ultraviolet light is shined onto a silicon wafer to “print” the chip design, the light diffracts and the resulting shapes are not exactly as designed. Edges are rounded, corners are deformed and fine lines are narrowed. OPC software anticipates and compensates for these distortions by modifying the original design before it reaches the lithography machine. In this way, the final result on the wafer conforms to the intended design. The EDA that changes the rules In October 2025 Qiyunfang, a subsidiary company of YesCarrier and Huawei, advertisement that your EDA tools They were already being used by more than 20,000 engineers in China. This data has not been independently verified, so it is most prudent to collect it with some reservations. In any case, SEIDA and Qiyunfang are not the only assets that China has in the field of integrated circuit design software. LogicFolding architecture folds transistor-level logic within a single chip into multiple vertical layers And a group of researchers from Peking University has presented a prototype of an EDA tool that is compatible with Huawei’s LogicFolding architecture. The goal of the latter company is to produce chips by 2031 capable of matching the performance of 1.4nm integration technology from TSMC, Intel or Samsung, but without depending at any time on Western chip manufacturing tools subject to US export restrictions. The LogicFolding architecture folds transistor-level logic within a single chip into multiple vertical layers. This optimization requires the use of location and routing tools capable of working on the entire vertical structure simultaneously, instead of working on separate layers. Peking University addresses this problem precisely because its prototype treats the multi-layer structure as a unified design space from the beginning, as opposed to conventional designs, in which each layer is optimized separately and then stacked. During initial testing with industrial-grade open source integrated circuits, this EDA tool has achieved, according to its designersreduce the total length of internal wiring by 30%. Besides, has introduced performance improvements and thermal management versus conventional EDA workflows. It doesn’t look bad, but we will have to wait until Huawei places its first commercial chips with LogicFolding architecture on the market to assess whether this technology is really up to the task. This company has anticipated that its next generation of Kirin chips, arriving this fall, will be the first to incorporate these innovations.

1,050 HP, design by Jony Ive and a very different idea of ​​an electric car

by

Ferrari could do many things with his first electricbut it could hardly be allowed to go unnoticed. The Luce arrives after years of waiting and with an obvious symbolic charge: we are not just talking about changing gasoline for a battery, but about checking how far Maranello is willing to move the limits of its own tradition. The brand has revealed it in Rome today, May 25, 2026, a date chosen for its link with Ferrari’s first victory in 1947, when the 125 S won the Grand Prix di Rome. Before getting into the details, it is worth remembering where this model comes from. Ferrari presented at the Capital Markets Day 2022 a multi-energy strategy based on technological neutrality, a way of saying that electrification will coexist with other architectures within the brand. The Luce is the first fully electric result of that roadmap, but it is not proposed as a replacement for combustion or hybrid Ferraris. An electric Ferrari designed to change more than just the engine The first thing that catches your attention when seeing the Luce is its format. Ferrari had already crossed the four-door line with the Purosangue, but here it takes another step: for the first time it offers five seats in a series production car. The explanation lies in its specific electrical architecture, which allows the battery to be integrated under the floor and the rear seats, freeing up the cabin and eliminating the central tunnel. Ferrari maintains that this configuration would not have been possible with its traditional transaxle schemes, with a front-mid engine and rear gearbox. The other big change is in who has shaped the car. Ferrari entrusted the design of the Luce to LoveFrom, the creative collective founded by Jony Ive with Marc Newson in 2019, and the first name does not need much introduction for anyone following the recent history of technological design. It is an unusual decision for a brand with its own design center directed by Flavio Manzoni. According to Ferrari, this external look allowed us to introduce a new language that is not limited to the bodywork, but also reaches the interior and the interface. This approach is especially noticeable in the silhouette. Ferrari defines one of the main features of the Luce as a “glass house” with a clean, almost shell-like shape, which extends below the belt line to the ends of the car. Around it appear front and rear aerodynamic wings that appear to float above the main volume, as well as transparent light panels integrated into the surfaces. And then there are the halo-type rear lights, which Ferrari links to the 360 ​​Modena and the 458 Italia: seeing them for the first time it is difficult not to feel a certain nostalgia in the midst of such a different design. One of the most recognizable decisions of the project appears in the cabin. Ferrari and LoveFrom have not followed the most obvious path in many current electric cars, where almost everything ends up inside a screen. The Luce combines physical aluminum controls, buttons, dials, switches and OLED screens developed by Samsung Display for this model, with the main information concentrated in front of the driver. The idea, according to Ferrari, is to unite the mechanical and the digital without one thing erasing the other. And that, in a car whose creative direction has gone through LoveFrom, is much more interesting than just another giant screen. The numbers, however, are inevitable. Ferrari declares a maximum power of 1,050 HP in Launch Control mode, four electric motors, one per wheel, and a 122 kWh battery with 800 V architecture. On paper, the Luce accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 2.5 seconds, reaches 0 to 200 km/h in 6.8 seconds and reaches a maximum speed of 310 km/h. The estimated range is around 530 kilometers, although here it is worth maintaining the nuance: Ferrari indicates that this figure is still under homologation. In an electric Ferrari, sound is not a minor detail. The brand says it has worked five years and 40,000 kilometers of specific tests to develop a system that, according to Ferrari, does not generate a synthetic sound, but rather amplifies the real mechanical vibrations of the electric axles. That signal is processed in real time and changes depending on the e-Manettino mode and the use of the cams. In parallel, the four motors, the active suspension and the rear axle steering ensure that the Luce is not only fast in a straight line, but also capable of managing with great precision what happens at each wheel. And now it’s time to talk about more numbers. Reuters places its price above 500,000 euros, while the Ferrari page in Spain already allows it to be configured, although it still does not show the price or allow it to be purchased directly: the next step is to send the information to a dealer. The reasonable doubt, as always in a car so loaded with promises, remains for when we can see it on the road and not only in the figures offered by the company.

its recipe mixes Android, Gemini and premium design

by

The laptop market had long been divided into quite recognizable territories: Chromebook as a simple and economical option, the most affordable Windows laptops, where concessions often have to be accepted, and premium equipment playing in another price league. That photograph has begun to change with the MacBook Neoa proposal that has helpedto boost Mac sales. Google seems to have read that move well. Googlebook It seems to want to move right there: into the gap of those looking for something more ambitious than a traditional Chromebook without necessarily entering the logic of the most exclusive laptop. Google itself knows well where this story comes from. In his statement he recalls which introduced Chromebooks more than 15 years ago as laptops designed for a cloud-first world, a formula that found its place and continues to have a journey. The point is that that approach was born for a very specific stage of personal computing: fewer local applications, more browsers and more online services. Googlebook wants to fill the gap that Chromebooks never finished conquering Now, Google has decided to show Googlebook before there are specific products in stores. For now, what we have is a first window into the experience, not a list of specific models. The company does make it clear that the first devices will arrive in the fall, when Google promises to share more details with its partners. Regarding the latter, we find names already known from the Windows world, such as Acer, ASUS, Dell, HP or Lenovo. The nuance is in the operating system. Google does present the Googlebook as a proposal that mixes the best of Android and ChromeOS, but it has not yet said clearly what software will power these laptops. There appears an interesting doubt: it could be Android, but also the rumored Aluminum OS, which would have been leaked in an image just before the presentation. At this point, it’s time to wait. Google insists that Googlebook has been designed from the beginning so that Gemini Help appears where it makes sense, not as a separate app that the user must open each time. The best example is Magic Pointera feature created with Google DeepMind that turns the cursor into a gateway to contextual suggestions. If we point out a date in an email, it can suggest creating a meeting; If we select two images, such as a living room and a new sofa, it can help us visualize them together. The promise is easy to understand, although now it remains to be seen how far it goes in real use. That same logic appears in Create your Widget, another of the functions that Google has advanced for Googlebook. The idea is that we can create custom widgets with a simple request, without having to search for a specific application or assemble the desktop by hand. Google gives a fairly clear example: a family reunion in Berlin in which Gemini brings together flights, hotels, restaurant reservations and even a countdown in a single panel. The iFull Android integration that idea of ​​continuity between devices. It’s not just about syncing notifications or sharing files, but about being able to use phone apps directly from your laptop when it makes sense. Google cites simple cases, such as ordering food or completing a Duolingo lesson without leaving what we are doing on the computer. Quick Access adds an equally practical layer: access your mobile files from the Googlebook file explorer, search for them and insert them without intermediate steps. Google also wants the Googlebook to be recognized before opening any applications. The company talks about “premium materials and finishes”, a formulation that points to a more careful construction, although without yet going into details. He does anticipate that there will be different formats and sizes, something logical if the proposal is in the hands of several manufacturers. The common element will be the Glowbar, a light bar that Google describes as “functional and beautiful,” and that seems designed to give these laptops their own visual identity. Everything indicates that Googlebook was born to dispute a conversation that until now has eluded Google and, to a certain extent, also Windows. The proposal seems to go towards a careful experienceconnected to mobile phones and prepared for AI in a time zone where price, design and ecosystem are becoming increasingly important. Now we have to wait to see if that promise becomes something real. More details on materials, pricing, and other features are on the way.

What is Claude’s graphic design tool and how does it work?

by

Let’s explain to you what is Claude Designa new function within the chat artificial intelligence of Claude. It is a graphic design tool with which you will be able to create all kinds of interactive elements and then shape them until they are to your liking. We are going to start by describing what exactly this tool is, so that you know all the possibilities it offers you. And then we will explain to you in a quick and simple way how it works. What is Claude Design Claude Design is a visual creation tool through conversations created by Anthropic for Claude. It’s something similar to Canvabut with artificial intelligence. What it does is allow you to do visual work with prompts instead of starting from scratch from a blank piece of paper. We could say that it is something like a graphic designer using artificial intelligencewhich allows you to order creations without needing to know Figma, Photoshop or any other similar program. It’s something like the Claude Code for graphic design. Claude Design allows you to make many types of design, such as from websites and applications to Power Points or animations. You will even be able to configure your own design guide, in addition to all kinds of interactive prototypes and presentations. These are the things you can do with this tool, according to Anthropic: Realistic prototypes: Designers can turn static mockups into easy-to-share interactive prototypes for feedback and user testing, without needing to review code or submit pull requests. Product diagrams and mockups– Product managers can outline feature flows and pass them to Claude Code for implementation, or share them with designers for refinement. Design Explorations– Designers can quickly create a wide variety of proposals to explore. Presentations and sales materials: Founders and account executives can go from a rough sketch to a full, on-brand presentation in minutes, then export it as PPTX or send it to Canva. Marketing materials: Marketers can create landing pages, social media assets, and campaign visuals, then involve designers to polish them. Cutting-edge design: Anyone can create code-based prototypes with voice, video, shaders, 3D, and built-in AI. Claude Design is currently in version Research Preview. This means that it is a trial version that has not yet reached beta nor is it available to all users. One of the particularities of Claude as an AI is that it focuses on offering useful functions for the user, but leaves aside others more focused on entertainment such as image creation. This has been a problem for professionals who use AI to create an image, and it is the gap that this tool tries to fill. Claude Design is powered by Claude Opus 4.7, which is currently the latest version of the Claude AI model. At the moment it is only available for Claude Pro, Max, Team and Enterprise subscriberswho are the only ones who can test this functionality. How Claude Design works Claude Design works through textual prompts, combining conversational and interactive logic. This means that combines a chat interface with an interactive canvas located on both sides of the screen, always in view of the user. With this, you will first write what you want to achieve, describing everything in a prompt, and Claude will generate a first version. And then, you’re going to have controls to refine the resulteither through textual instructions or with interactive buttons. To start you will have to create a prototypewhich will be the way to create a new design. This will take you to the main Design window, where on the left you can give commands and on the right you can interact. You will be able to start in several ways, such as loading external files which can be screenshots, Figma files or code, or even just describe what you want with a prompt to which you can attach designs. You will even be able to start from a drawing that you do freehand on the right side with the option of Start with a sketch. The idea is that just by having something in mind you can start creating it. Once you have created the first draft of what you want, you can continue using the left column to give instructions for the things you want to change. you also have options like Tweaks and Comments. The first allows you to create manual controls describing what you want to do with it. For example, bars to resize the parent element. And the second allows you to make concrete changes to specific components instead of the structural changes you make with prompts. and then you have the edit button or Editwhich allows you to choose an element of your design and make changes directly to it. In addition, you can also draw other elements by hand with the option Draw. In short, you have all the options to to be able to shape your design using a combination of manual and artificial intelligence controls, and even being able to create manual controls with AI.

“A large touch screen it doesn’t work in a car. That is unquestionable.” This is how blunt Jony Ive was recently. in an interview published by Top Gear. We are not only talking about the former head of Apple design, but also about the figure that Ferrari has turned to, along with LoveFromto shape the interior of the Luce, the first production electric vehicle in its history. The movement is not minor: it has an enormous symbolic load for the brand and, at the same time, it opens the door to a proposal that seems to move away from one of the most repeated formulas in the industry. Now, in addition, we know a little better where that path goes. After a few first previews published in FebruaryFerrari has once again shown the interior of the Luce in a new video and this time the material is much more useful to understand what the brand is trying to do. The first glance already suggested that we were not looking at a conventional cabin and opened the door to very different readings. This second tour, however, allows us to go a little further than the initial impression: it is no longer just about seeing a striking design, but about beginning to understand how Ferrari wants the driver and car to relate to this long-awaited vehicle. The interior of the Ferrari Luce points just in the opposite direction to the screen fashion If we look atwhat Ferrari teaches in this second tourthe interior of the Luce seems built around a fairly clear idea: returning prominence to physical interaction. The central screen is present, yes, but it does not dominate the dashboard nor is it presented as the absolute great center of the car; in fact, it appears integrated next to physical controls for various functions. Added to this is a digital display behind the steering wheel organized into three configurable dials and an ignition sequence that starts when a specific key is inserted into the center console. The video, however, does not allow us to categorically state that there is no tactile interaction, but everything points in that direction. Ive’s words help us read this proposal much more precisely. In his recent conversation with Top Gear he stated that the large touch screen not only seems like a debatable solution, but also directly unsuitable for real use inside a car. He even defined it as an “easy” and “lazy” response. If we take that frame and look at the Luce video again, the idea gains coherence. If we look back, a good part of the industry has followed the same idea of ​​modernity for years: fewer buttons, more screen surface and almost all functions concentrated in a large central panel. Tesla had a lot to do with that turn. Not only did it help turn the electric car into a desirable product, it also pushed a very specific way of understanding the interior. That is why Ferrari’s movement is so interesting. Just when it is time to enter this new stage, it seems to have preferred explore a different direction. Ferrari points out that It will be an electric car with a 122 kWh battery, 880 volt system and a range of close to 530 kilometers according to European tests. The video, for its part, shows 0 to 100 km/h in 2.5 seconds. There is, however, one big piece that remains to be fully revealed: its final exterior appearance. The launch will arrive on May 25 in Maranello, before starting production at the end of 2026 and deliveries at the beginning of 2027. There will be time to discuss whether this bet ends up working as well in practice as it suggests on paper. But what Ferrari has revealed so far already allows us to draw a provisional conclusion: the Luce does not want to limit itself to being the first electric car in the house, it also aspires to open a different conversation about how a car should feel inside. And that, in an industry that for years has pushed almost en bloc towards total screen, is already quite significant. In Xataka | We have normally accepted that cars have become rolling screens.

There is a spontaneous competition to design the “Flag of Humanity.” And the best design is an engraving of Voyager

It is more than seen and proven that borders and flags sometimes become the focus of conflicts and enmities. The fact of seeing our own planet from the outsidethrough the images taken by Artemis II, helps us understand that, deep down, we are all part of the same whole. A whole that still does not have its own flag. Therefore, for many years now and then someone has proposed a single flag for all of humanity. Now, with everything related to the trip to the Moon, the proposals are once again reaching social networks. The first proposal. In 1970, an Illinois farmer named James Cadle, inspired by the landing of humans on the Moon on Apollo 11, decided to create a flag that represented our entire planet. The result was a simple flag, easy to reproduce, in which the Earth is seen as a blue marble, accompanied by a smaller white one, representing the Moon. The background was yellow and black, in honor of the Sun and the blackness of space. The flag was first raised on a rural power pole that Cadle himself climbed, but has since been part of several space projects. More minimalist concepts. Continuing with the minimalist and, above all, unifying concepts, in 2000 the Danish designer Anne Kirstine Rønhede designed a new flag of Earth. This time there was also a light blue marble, surrounded by a white border representing its atmosphere and a darker blue background representing the cosmos. A symbol of unity. In 2015, Swedish designer Oskar Pernefeldt created another flag of Earth. Seven linked circles are represented, one for each continent. It is hoped that it can be used as a symbol of Earth on future missions to Mars. Science enters the scene. The arrival on the Moon of Artemis II has inspired more people to look for a flag that represents us as a planet. And since it was science that got us there, the most recent proposals focus precisely on it. The pioneers in this type of messages were Frank Drake and Carl Saganwho in the 70s decided to compose messages that combined the scientific knowledge of humanity to launch them into space in search of possible intelligent life. This is how the Pioneer Plaque emerged, a physical gold-anodized aluminum plate that was attached to the Pioneer 10 and 11 probes, in case an alien civilization intercepted the ship. To cover more space, they also designed a radio message, which was named the Arecibo message. It was a signal transmitted through the Arecibo radio telescope, hence its name. A flag based on the Pioneer Plaque. Recently, 2D and 3D designer braingrub has proposed in your X account an Earth flag based on one of the components of the Pioneer Plaque. This is the pulsar map, a diagram that indicates our exact location in the Milky Way. Pulsars are a type of star that is used to map space, because they emit radio rays at very regular and specific periods. Like a unique lighthouse. On the map there are 14 lines that indicate different pulsars located around the Earth. Each line also contains symbols that indicate, in binary, the exact pulse of each of these pulsars. Thus, through its unique pulse, you can find those headlights and, through the relative distance represented in the lines, find the Sun, which is the point at which all of them converge. From the Sun to the Earth, everything would be simpler for an intelligent civilization. An ideal moment. It is not surprising that this is one of the most interesting Earth flag proposals that we can find on the Internet. Without a doubt, the concept is very suggestive, especially in a time when we increasingly see how much we lack unity as humanity.
