by

Although the most popular brands in Ereader are Amazon (Kindle) and Rakuten (Kobo), there are many others that also have very interesting models. One of them is Woxter, whose most peculiar and interesting model is the Woxter Scriba 195 S. It is an ideal ereader for both those looking for a small and light device and for those who want a cheap model. Its price is only 39.95 euros And you can find it on Amazon. * Some price may have changed from the last review A very light ereader that includes physical buttons I have always considered that including physical buttons in an ereader is a success. Tactile screens are comfortable, but they get so much about passing their fingers. The Woxter Scriba 195 S, although it does not offer these two options because its screen is not tactile, comes with a good assortment of buttons to pass the pages and to generally control the device. Regarding its specifications, we have a restraint 4.7 -inch screen and offers a resolution of 960 x 540 pixels. On the other hand, a curiosity of this ereader is that allows us to read the pages horizontally or vertically; In addition, the font size can be customized, it is compatible with multiple formats and comes with 4 GB to store many books. In short, the Woxter Scriba 195 S is a very interesting ereader that stands out, among other things, for its compact format. Personally, I find your 100 grams weightthe possibility of being able to read the screen horizontally or vertical and, of course, its price.

Digital serendipia is in danger of extinction. Internet understands us too well

by

Serendipia, that valuable finding that happens while we were looking for something else, It is in the process of extinction if we talk about the Internet. The increasingly precise recommendation algorithms have locked us in bubbles of very comfortable convenience, but also sterile. We no longer lose ourselves on the Internet – from there the “navigate” -. And that is the problem. I think of my adolescence, in the first decade of this century. An any night, listening to Rock & Gol, who combined rock and football, wanted to hear comments on that glorious stage of Valencia, but suddenly something different sounded. It was not the commercial pop of melancholic latest adalescents (“I loved it so much …!”), Nor the first Reggaeton that we met. Was ‘E-Pro’, from Beck. Those four minutes changed my perception of what music could be. Today I do not seem to me from the other Thursday, but at that time it made me want to hear a type of music that until then did I know. It was an accident, a fortuitous collision with something that I had never actively looked for because I didn’t even know that it existed. He simply reached my ears without ever having reproduced anything similar. Today, with Spotify suggesting songs millimetrically refined to my tastes – declored and inferred, Grrr – I wonder Where are those transformative accidents for current adolescents. It is a paradox: the more sophisticated the technology becomes to “meet us”, the less opportunities we have to know something really new. Our algorithms have confused “relevance” with “familiarity”, offering us barely noticeable variations of what we already consume. As Antonio Ortiz said in “Internet was dopamine, AI will be oxytocin“, We have optimized platforms to maintain our attention, not to expand our horizons. Captive, not creative. When was the last time you discovered something really unexpected in your Feed? Not something tangential to your usual interests, but something totally new, discordant, something that made you rethink ideas and expand towards a new taste. The digital explorer of yesteryear, which sailed hyperlink in hyperlink to the final P2P, has been replaced by the passive consumer that slides the finger in an infinite flow of pre -healing content. In its improvement, The algorithms have eliminated friction, and with it, the generative spark of the disagreement. It is not good news. The horny is that this algorithmic refinement comes just when we need divergent thinking. The real innovation, which changes paradigms instead of optimizing the existing, arises precisely from unexpected connections, from the collision between disparate ideas. Silicon Valley was built on serendipias: Stewart Brand finding inspiration in the native Americans to create the Whole Earth CatalogSteve Jobs captivated by calligraphy which would end up deeply influencing the design and DNA of the Mac. Until the very concept of hypertext he was born from an analogy with how the human mind works: not linearly, but by unexpected associations. It is not just a matter of innovation. Also of civic health. Before, physical newspapers forced us to pass pages where we found, unintentionally, discordant opinions with ours. Now Discover is in charge of filtering. Now, ours feeds They are so Tunis that can spend months without giving ourselves with an idea that really confront our convictions. The algorithm, in its eagerness to maximize our permanence time, serves only what confirms our presuppositions. Or in the case of X, What will make us foam through our mouths. This overallization of digital consumption has created a strange phenomenon: we had never had access to so much information and yet our mental worlds are increasingly narrow. The variety has been sacrificed at the altar of personalized experience. It is still symptomatic that some of the most powerful voices after these designs They do not want to put their own creations in the hands of their children. We go to an internet where each click It is premeditated, where the following recommendation is predictably interesting. In the name of efficiency we are sacrificing that glorious digital disorder That, like garbage DNA in our genome, could contain the germ of the next great innovation or simply those findings that change the cultural consumption of the rest of our life. I wonder how many songs of Beck – not songs by the Californian musician, but the concept of music that breaks with our previous beliefs – we are missing, especially today’s teenagers, trapped in loops of algorithmically perfectly perfectly sterile content. Maybe it’s time for demand the right to digital serendipia. To ask ourselves if we want an internet that understands us too well or one that may still surprise us.

force a 100% digital shipment

by

100%digital. That is Ryanair’s bet for this year in terms of his flight to his flights. The Irish company has a plan that aims to apply this year but has already delayed once: force all passengers to forget the printing cards. In a new attempt to press the passenger to download his own application, Ryanair has marked as deadline on November 3, 2025 to stop admitting passengers that use a printed paper to show their shipping card. It is something that the company has already announced and that It must have been implemented This same spring. However, it will not be until November 3, if everything is still underway, when Ryanair admits exclusively to passengers who use a mobile phone to enter their planes. A decision that, of course, comes with controversy. Ecological for Ryanair and illegal for Facua Ryanair’s intention that his passengers access their planes exclusively through a digital shipping card is, without a doubt, a pressure measure for the company’s user to also discharge the application of it. Claiming that they hope to reduce “300 tons of paper waste per year” and that 80% of their passengers already use the Digital Boarding Cardthe company sees enough reasons to force passengers to take this step. They point out that, in addition, with their own application Myryanair You can have access to many other services such as live flight information or its incident warning. In the information published by the company, it is not specified what will happen if a client has printed his boarding card and wants to access the plane with it. He also also acts his employees if, for example, the mobile phone is broken once the airport safety control is overcome and only the shipment remains. From Xataka We have transferred these questions to the company but, for the moment, we have not obtained an answer. However, this decision that was announced last year and that this same spring should be applied, It is illegal for Facua. The consumer defense association said this decision in October 2024 as “a practice contrary to the legislation as it is abusive.” In their statement, they also pointed out that the decision was especially unfair to vulnerable groups since, first, the company does not allow check-in At the time of purchase if an extra is not paid in choosing the seat. And, subsequently, it is emphasized that if the physical card is not issued on paper, you can be homeless to those who need their broadcast at the airport itself. The company’s echogologist speech is responded by Facua by focusing on the cost Ryanair would save to apply this measure. According to the association, what the airline is looking for is saving money on printed paper and, above all, in airport staff. The decision also comes in the middle of a controversy between the Government and the Irish company, which has announced the march of various airports in the country alleging that the operational rates are too high. It is really An response in the form of pressure measure to the fine imposed by an abusive use of the conditions of hand suitcases.

How I learned to use several email addresses to keep all my protected digital accounts

by

A few years ago, when I dedicated myself to repair home computers, it occurred to me to print some professional visit cards so that my clients could easily contact me. In addition to including my phone number, which only allowed to send text messages because WhatsApp was barely taking its first steps, I added my email. I still remember leaving the printing press with a handful of cards in my hands, excited to start distributing them. But as soon as I cross the door, I realized that I had made a mistake: I used my main email. Until that time, it had remained relatively “secret”, but that changed at the moment it was printed on my cards. And it was the same email that I used as an access door to my digital life. I had just exposed it without realizing it. A concern invaded me instantly, accompanied by several questions about the associated risks. What if someone tried access my accounts without permission? Could I use the mail that was on my cards along with the information about me on Facebook to try to guess my security response? And what would happen to the services I had linked? The risk was minimal, I should not expose my main email. My immediate reaction was to create an exclusive secondary account for other services, while the direction printed on the card was only for professional contact. If your security was compromised, the impact would be limited. My accounts on electronic commerce platforms, social networks and other services would continue to have a recovery account other than the main one. Having a single email address for everything was a mistake To better understand why this caution is important, let’s put us for a moment in the mind of a cybercrime. If as an attacker he can access the main mail of a victim, I can easily explore his entrance tray to discover what other services he uses. For example, when you find Amazon emails or social networks, you could request restore passwords directly. If the victim also made the frequent mistake of reusing the same password – and somehow I have achieved it – I would not even have to strive a lot: it would be enough to try that key to accessing multiple platforms, generating a serious domino effect. The aforementioned solution was only temporary. It served me for a while, but we live in such a dynamic world that forces us to evolve, not only to take better advantage of technology, but also to guarantee our safety and privacy. Over the years, keep a contact email and another “secret” ceased to be enough. I discovered that my contact email was not so public or the “secret” so private. Although the latter was not on my card, I trusted any online service that asked me to register. And, as we know, companies, no matter how big they are, do not always protect the data of their users. There have been notorious cases of leaks, Like Yahoo’s 2016 o The Quora of 2018. Although I had never shared it directly with other people, the amount of spam and fraudulent emails that I received made me suspect that my email address had been filtered on the Dark Web, That dark internet area where personal information circulates as a currency. After all, my email was probably part of some database sold to the highest bidder. Of course, among the undessed emails there were also classic scams Like the Nigerian Prince. LinkedIn, at that time, publicly showed the email address of the users who enabled that option in the privacy settings. In addition, there were those who collected this data for mass shipments, which explained the amount of newsletters and unre requested messages that came to be connected to certain people. I soon understood that I needed more than my own emails, because, like many, I had had others assigned by third parties, such as the University or those of work, which are usually deactivated by disconnecting from the institution. I decided to take the necessary measures to improve this aspect of my digital life, which meant Create other mail accounts. Thus were structured: Contact email: Public address so that anyone can write to me. Private mail for services: Exclusive for login and recovery of accounts. Work mail: For everything related to my professional activity. Mail for Newsletters: To receive and manage subscriptions without saturating other accounts. Mail focused on privacy: Proton mail account with end -to -end encryption and tracker lock. In all I tried to apply the maximum security measures: two steps verification, Passkeysrecovery keys, robust passwords, etc. In addition, I incorporated the use of a password manager to avoid the risk of reusing credentials and to generate unique and safe keys for each service. I opted for a reputed manager who allows me to store them safely without depending on memory or physical annotations that can be violated. I also started using “Log in with Apple”With my private email for services, which allows me to hide my real address through random emails (@privateatelay.com). To this I added the Temporary ICloud+ Correos (@icloud.com), Ideal for records on platforms that do not inspire me confidence or whose data protection policy raises doubts. To reinforce security, I implemented multiple recovery methods. Thus, if a method does not work, I always have another access road. This is essential because any recovery method can give problems. If I lose my mobile phone and it is my only access road to my account, I would be in a serious inconvenience. However, having both a telephone number and an associated email, I can recover access without depending on a single factor. The same goes for alternative verification codes: if I do not have immediate access to my phone, I can use one of those previously stored codes to log in safely. Having multiple access recovery methods is not a luxury, but a necessity. In a world where everything … Read more

We have filled ourselves with digital superstitions. They are a fright for our productivity

by

There is something inherently human in our desire to find patterns where there are no, to attribute causality to mere coincidence. Centuries ago they danced to rained. We organize ours Notion To be more productive. Same superstition, different ritual. Cal Newport baptized him very well as “productive rain dances“: those activities that we do convinced that our results will improve, but in reality They are mere rituals without much real impact. We spend hours configuring time management applications (guilty), categorizing emails (innocent) or testing methods as if they were magical (guilty) potions. We dance around the bonfire of productivity, hoping that the gods of performance will pity us. Elí, Elí, Lama Sabactani. The interesting thing about these digital superstitions is that, unlike those of our ancestors, they are backed by elegant and metric interfaces that feed our illusion of progress. Three hours reorganizing cloud folders They do not produce real work although they generate a rewarding sense of order. Cleaning notifications constantly does not advance projects, but it gives us small doses of dopamine. And so we build belief systems. “I can only concentrate using this specific application.” “I need my 17 -step morning ritual or the day is lost.” “I have to answer each message at the moment or I am a terrible professional.” The problem of these rituals is not that they are useless (some have a certain value), but that We confuse the medium in order, the activity with the result. In Newport’s words, we are “focused on the activity of the moment instead of the results over time.” And while we execute these dances with devotion, the important projects, which really change our trajectory, remain intact in our slope lists. Pragmatic austerity is needed to break these digital superstitions. Start by asking if this activity produces a measurable result or if it only gives us the illusion of advancing. If we are confusing movement with progress. The most affective rituals are usually the least spectacular: Uninterrupted time blocks, Limitation of notifications and focus on the specific results we want to generate. Maybe it doesn’t hurt to stop dancing to rain and start building aqueducts.
