NASA has cut 420 million dollars following Doge’s guidelines. It is Elon Musk’s favorite number

by

NASA has announced a 420 million dollar cut in consulting contracts and other suppliers. It is a strangely familiar number. A cut commanded by Doge. Although NASA has not given many details, the contracts to be cut are considered “redundant” or “misaligned with the essential priorities” of the agency, following the guidelines of the Department of Government Efficiency (Doge), the auditor body created by Donald Trump and headed by Elon Musk. From canceled contracts, the largest cut comes from the NASA socio -economic application and data center, valued at about 30 million dollars, although with an effective savings of 19.4 million. Other of the confirmed cancellations are four agreements of 15 million dollars each with the firms of consulting Booz Allen Hamilton, Deloitte, Guidehouse and McKinsey & Co. The termination of these and other contracts will mean a saving of 420 million dollars for NASA. Elon Musk’s favorite number. There is an extraordinary coincidence in this matter and it is Elon Musk’s love for number 420. The founder of Spacex He likes to remember which was born 69 days after April 20 (4/20, in American format). But the number 420 became more present in his life since a club was smoked during the Joe Rogan podcast. “420” It is a reference to the “time of smoking marijuana”, 4 and 20 in the afternoon. For Musk also represents the day that He withdrew the verified blue check to X users who had it for free since the time of Twitter (04/20/2023). Wave First starship in history to be stacked (Booster 4 + Ship 20). Or one of the most transcendental tweets of his career: when he announced that I was going to privatize Tesla at a price of $ 420 per share. NASA scientists are worried. While only consulting cuts have transcended, the scientific community that depends on the space agency is concerned about the possibility of even greater or layoffs (of which NASA, for now, for now only He has seen 23 for the closure of three offices). Although less affected than diversity programs, Doge cuts also focus on branches of health, climate and natural resources, which NASA investigates. In addition, it is rumored that the 2026 budget for the agency’s scientific programs could be drastically reduced (up to 50%, According to Space News). Musk’s conflict of interest. While Doge is not an official government department, and therefore Elon Musk is not a senior official, the most complicated issue of all is that the employer is positioned to obtain multimillionaire contracts from the federal government. The Pentagon has already demonstrated its interest in Starship as a military transport, and NASA depends on the rocket to take astronauts to the moon. Starlink is also a key strategic asset for the United States, and Spacex is building a spy version called Starshield for the NRO. Finally, Trump’s nominee to direct NASA is Jared Isaacman, Musk’s commercial partner in two of Spacex’s most important commercial missions.

1.4 billion dollars have disappeared

by

Elon Musk’s car manufacturer is not going through Your best moment financial with their actions falling into chopped For weeks. As if that were not enough, Dan McCrum, the journalist who uncovered the Wirecard fraudhas highlighted a possible hole of 1.4 billion dollars in the accounting of Tesla. The news has sat like a jug of cold water among Tesla investors, already upset by the crisis that has caused the political decisions of his CEO Doge front. This discussion potential has unleashed a series of questions about transparency and Reliability of financial information which provides Tesla. If this unraveling in the cash flow is not resolved quickly, it could have reputational consequences for the future of the company and the perception that investors have about the management of Elon Musk in front. The black hole: 1.4 billion dollars without explanation. The journalist published a complete finding analysis in it Financial Times which has exposed a gap of 1.4 billion dollars in the Tesla cash flow. According to McCrum, Tesla has put all the meat on the ASADOR of the AI ​​and plans to make investments worth 11,000 million dollars annually in developing Infrastructure for Ia. That leads to its cash volume in cash is greater than usual. Within the framework of these planned investments, in the third and fourth trimester combined of 2024, Tesla spent 6,300 million dollars in “Purchases of Properties and Equipment, excluding financial leases, net sales”, according to the cash flow states published in their accounts. However, in the balance sheet, the gross value of property, plant and equipment only increased 4.9 billion dollars in that period, to reach 51 billion dollars. That leaves a unravel between spending and assets of 1.4 billion dollars. The accounts are audited. As the vast majority of large companies, Tesla accounts are audited by external consultants. PWC takes care of these audits since 2005. Several accounting experts confirmed to Fortune that there are plausible justifications for this unraveler that could not be reflected in the financial statements of Tesla. However, it is expected that the relevant figures coincide for a company where sales have fallen but does not show serious problems in their assets, pointed to Fortune Tim Morrison, accounting professor at Notre Dame and Audit Socy of the consultant EY. PWC He has audited Tesla’s finances since 2005. “If they had incorrect numbers, then that would be an alert signal related to audit controls,” said Morrison calling for caution. We will have to see if PWC or the company offers some clarification, “he told Fortune Garrett Nelson, vice president and actions analyst of the CFRA Research consultant. Warning signs that Tesla should clarify. Luzi Hail, accounting professor at the Wharton School, stood out in the Financial Times That “the reason why the reported figures do not completely fit in most cases is that we only see the net changes in these accounts, but we do not have all the detailed transactions that have been carried out. Perhaps part of these assets were sold and we do not know their net accounting value.” Dan McCrum highlighted in his article that this unraveling could well be corrected in an accounting adjustment in the next quarter due to the gap in the annotation of the values. Last year, Tesla generated 15,000 million dollars of operating cash flow. He invested 11,000 million dollars in his businesses and did not pay dividends or repurchase shares with his bulky liquidity. However, Tesla also raised $ 3.9 billion of new financing, in addition to the 2.6 billion dollars of 2023. However, the journalist warns that it could be an alert signal that has already been seen previously in cases like Wirecard, so Tesla should offer A convincing answer To those accounting doubts. Tesla’s past ghosts. This is not the first time that Elon Musk is accused of manipulating the company’s figures. In the past, suspicions have already emerged about the way in which Tesla presents its financial results and about the veracity of its growth projections. This situation inevitably evokes Enron’s memory, the energy company that was declared in bankruptcy in 2001 after uncovering an accounting fraud of gigantic proportions. As the CEO of Asana points out In the article of Fortune“Tesla could be the next Enron” if it is confirmed that Elon Musk has deceived customers and investors.

Emirates has fallen in love with shows with drones. It already moves millions of dollars and aims to have no rival in the sky

by

More than a decade ago It was held next to the Danube Riverin Austria, the first show of drones of which you have registration. It was during a local music festival, with Few flying devices But with a huge technical deployment. Since then, this type of exhibitions has not stopped evolving. Today, drones have become an increasingly popular alternative to fireworks. The United States and China have taken the lead with mass shows, but the United Arab Emirates want to take the proposal a step further. And are willing to strive to achieve it. Emirates wants to lead the future of shows in heaven Talking about Arab Emirates is talking about a country accustomed to megaprojects. From the Burj Khalifa to the artificial island Palm Jumeirahgoing through The future tower with the highest watch in the worldtheir ambitions do not know limits. Behind this deployment there is a clear strategy: diversify the economy and reduce oil dependence. One of the last steps in that direction is to turn Abu Dhabi into a cultural and technological pole. Sheikh Khaled Bin Mohamed al Nahyan has opted for an unpublished show: The largest exhibition of drones in the world. The objective is to launch more than 10,000 illuminated drones, coordinated in real time to form three -dimensional images. The challenge is not less. Until now, few have managed to operate such a number of drones simultaneously. The record is held by Shenzhenin China, With 10,197 devices in 2024in a sample that beat two Guinness records. The United States has also advanced, With exhibitions of up to 5,000 drones in Texas. Although Abu Dhabi has not yet confirmed the date of the ambitious event, it is known that it will be in charge of Nova Sky Stories (a Colorado firm) with Analog, a Emiratí company specialized in mixed reality and physical intelligence. Arab Emirates was a pioneer in adopting this technology, and the shows began to gain popularity in 2020. Today they are a usual part of great conferences and festivals. According to Rest of Worldan average show in the region costs some $ 112,000 and implies around 400 drones, well above what a traditional fireworks show costs, which is around $ 13,000 and $ 41,000. The global market is also taking off. In 2023 it was valued at 338.9 Millions of dollarswith the Middle East representing 41 million. And, from what we have seen, there is still a generous margin of growth. The AI ​​is already changing the way these shows are designed. Skyvertise, one of the most active companies in Emirates, explains that algorithms allow reducing manual labor time to Automize much of visual planning. The future of air entertainment is changing, and the Emirates want to be in charge.

Xiaomi has lost 800 million dollars in its first year selling electric cars. It is excellent news for your future

by

Nine months in the market have been enough to show that Lei Jun was not wrong when he decided to bet on electric cars. The company announced the Xiaomi Su7 in December 2023. In April 2024 the first deliveries arrived. In December I already touched with the fingers Strain its only electric car as one of the 10 new energy models (plug and electrical hybrids) in China. Now, the company has submitted results and has updated its upward forecasts. 2025 will be the first full year in which, at least, one of its electric cars is on the street. In 2023 they did not sell a single electric car. In 2025 they aspire to place in the market 350,000 units. With the data collected by Clean Technicait is very likely that the Xiaomi Su7 will be placed among the 10 best -selling cars of new energy in the Chinese market, despite competing with settled brands that offer much cheaper vehicles such as the Byd Seagull or the Wuling Hongguang Mini. The 2024 results have been a definitive support for the strategy. Results that take away the hypo Until now, Xiaomi had announced that I hoped to deliver 300,000 electric cars in 2025. However, the presentation of 2024 results has served to update those figures in another 50,000 additional units. In addition, of the Xiaomi Su7, the company is expected to launch the market Xiaomi Yu7an electric SUV that points directly to Tesla Model and as the great rival. It is no accident that Elon Musk’s are valuing the launch of a cut version of your SUV best -selling electric in the Asian country. But what has really been a support for the company has been Xiaomi Su7 Ultra. The most capable electric car sells dream benefits at a ridiculous price. On paper, it improves the performance of a Porsche Taycan but is sold to a third of its price. The announcement, as expected, has ended up unleashing madness. Lei Jun confirmed That in three days they have sold all the production they had scheduled for 2025, confirming more than 10,000 sales. In those three days there were a total of 19,000 reservations, so the demand of the car almost doubled the annual production in 72 hours. Xiaomi first year data selling electric cars All this has had a brutal impact on your accounts: Xiaomi has already delivered more than 200,000 cars. The net profit of the company has increased by 41% (3,760 million dollars) compared to 2023. Total sales of the company have grown by 35%. Their cars already suppose 10% of the company’s income. Between 2021 and 2025 it has spent 3.3 billion dollars on the development of the electric vehicle and its entire ecosystem. He plans to continue spending another 4.2 billion dollars in investigation in 2025. They lost around 800 million dollars in their car division. That loss of 800 million of dollars should not be a big problem for the company. Keep in mind that only in 2025 will almost double the cars that it has put in the market so far. In addition, the performance of the Xiaomi Su7 Ultra and the arrival of the Xiaomi Yu7 should help them make the investments already made. And not just that. From Fortune They emphasize that the company values ​​its performance in the automobile market because the company helps to comply with its brand image and raise it. Competing from you to you with Porsche and Tesla gives the company a value that until now did not. In addition, from Xiaomi they already assure that In 2027 They hope to export their first cars outside their borders, which should give a new push to its portfolio and continue to press so that the electric car becomes a fundamental pillar in the company’s strategy. If it is not anymore. Photo | Lei Jun in X In Xataka | The Xiaomi Su7 also expires in autonomy: the first tests under real conditions place him above Tesla or Byd

Its valuation reaches 44,000 million dollars

by

The social network X, before as known to X, has risen economically. As indicated In Financial Timesthe valuation has been recovered and is now at 44,000 million dollars, which is just the amount that Elon Musk paid to buy it. How have you gone around the tortilla? Let’s see it. Twitter collapse. In October 2022 Elon Musk bought Twitter for 44,000 million dollars. After a series of controversial decisions and the unbalanced of the advertisersits valuation collapsed: a year later the company had lost 90% of its value. Things painted very badly for the social network now known as X, but the truth is that the tycoon has managed to turn the situation, at least in the economic section. Not even 10,000 million dollars were worth. X investors have exchanged their respective positions in the company, according to sources close to those movements. This process has served to estimate the remarkable increase in valuation for a company that had it below 10,000 million dollars. INVESTMENT ROUND IN THE VIEW. X is negotiating to raise a first investment round. It is estimated that they could raise about 2,000 million dollars, of which 1 billion would serve to pay part of the debts that Musk assumed to make the purchase. The cuts work. The income has fallen since the arrival of Musk and in 2024 they were approximately Half of those that were before the acquisition. However, it seems that the important cuts he made – for example with the numerous dismissals – have helped to turn X into a more efficient and economically efficient company, and the costs are now a quarter of those in the past. Its EBITDA is 1.2 billion dollars according to two sources close to that situation, and the striking thing is that the figure is practically identical to which Twitter had before Musk bought it. Banks sell their debt. Several banks that lent money to Musk have sold almost the total Of the 12,500 million dollars of debt that were pending with the tycoon. Meanwhile, capital investors – who have a participation in the company – valued the company well below the value in the past, which has probably caused losses. Trump and Xai help. The re -election of Donald Trump as president of the United States has notably favored Elon Musk, who supported his campaign and has now become his main advisor in many areas. That has helped the recovery of X, partly because there has been a Partial return of advertisers. And XAI as lever. Another of the elements that has favored the recovery has been the movement that Musk made a few months ago. The tycoon gave X investors 25% participation in XAI. This startup already has an assessment of 45,000 million dollars, and that has certainly been a convincing argument to be happy for those investors. Subscriptions and Grok. The increasing relevance of the subscription model in X is another of the elements that have allowed increasing income. In these subscription plans, the AI ​​of XAI, Grok, which has become part of the supply offer develops a leading role, although it is also available in a limited way for those who use X free of charge. Optimism. Musk He joked In X in February before the good news saying that “it is almost as if it were good with money”, but also highlighted that there was a margin of improvement and that income should quickly improve in 2025 “as the advertising boycott is blurred.” Image | POT In Xataka | Elon Musk has revealed the formula of his team’s success.

A series of 4,000 million dollars

by

Within ‘Star Wars‘The’ are so popular yes …? ‘ that the official paths themselves has taken by the franchise. For example, the deviations that were never and that Disney threw in that alternative stories container but outside the canon categorized as ‘legends’. Or all the projects that never came out, among which an ambitious television series, ‘Star Wars: Underworld’, which Lucas had to leave aside for its high cost, but that would have changed the saga forever. A series by George Lucas. According to these new data that producer Rick McCallum has revealed in the podcast ‘Young Indy Chronicles’the creator of the original franchise was developing a series for several years after closing his trilogy of prequels with ‘The revenge of the Sith’. ‘Star Wars: Underworld’ would have elapsed in the time space between the original trilogy and the newly released, serving as a narrative bridge between them. We like thieves. ‘Underworld’ would have been set in the criminal underworld of ‘Star Wars’: smugglers, thieves and hunter would compose the usual fauna of the series. In fact, Indiewire Define what Lucas was trying to do as “‘the soprano’ in ‘Star Wars’”. Interestingly, it is an atmosphere comparable to what tried to develop the commercially failed ‘Star Wars Outlaws‘(Note the similarities in the title, of practically interchangeable meaning) of Ubisoft, a tremendously attractive video game on the role that, however, He has not finished finding his audience. They are 40 million. The main obstacle for the series to move forward was its cost. McCallum comments that he does not imagine how each episode could have been shot for less than 40 million dollars. “Each episode was bigger than movies”, which explains not only the very high budget that each episode would have needed, but the tremendous ambition of demonstrating Lucas, which also knew how to see that television was a good space, still virgin, to tell certain types of stories and give them a very specific structure. “ Complicated scripts. The second great obstacle for the series to become as it was conceived of Lucas were the scripts, which McCallum defines as “absolutely wonderful, complicated, challenging.” And they were to the point that “the ‘Star Wars’ universe would have exploded, and Disney sure would never have offered George to buy the franchise.” An example to get the idea: showrunner of ‘Battlestar Galactica’ was aboard ‘underworld’ as a screenwriter, which makes clear to what extent the series was a darker vision of science fiction that until that moment escaped ‘Star Wars’. Long -term plan. Lucas was serious: he had planned more than one hundred episodes, of which sixty came to have quite final scripts: that is, a plan comparable to the lively ‘clone wars’ of 2008. However, not all ‘underwold’ was lost: indiewire affirms that the basic idea of ​​’Rogue One’ trilogies). ‘Undereworld’ also wanted to explore the origins of Han breath, a concept that ended Become a movie. And, finally, series like ‘The Mandalorian‘ either ‘Andor‘They are in tune with the base of’ underworld ‘. In this very distant galaxy everything is used. ‘Star Wars’, now. Although these elements have ended up arriving at what is ‘Star Wars’ today, there are two completely absent elements of this ‘underworld’ and that are an essential part of the franchise today. On the one hand, nostalgia, winks and dependence on the two original trilogies; And on the other, an absolute escape from any risk of risk, except in extraordinary cases such as ‘Andor’. A diametrically opposite philosophy to which Lucas wanted to rehearse with ‘underworld’.

Amazon was about to buy the noise company for 1.4 billion dollars. Today is worth seven times less

People don’t say they have vacuum robots. He says he has Robs. It is something special for a company that users replace the common name by their own name. The metonymic designation – kleenex by paper handker Robs They have certainly succeeded. Despite this, the company that creates them is going through a very complicated moment. Irobot, in trouble. The firm that designs and manufactures Roomba vacuum robots recently presented Your financial resultsand he did it with a pessimistic tone. Those responsible warned that they have “substantial doubts” that they can follow operations. Less income. In the results of the last quarter of 2024, he especially highlighted the 44% drop in income compared to the same period of the previous year. According to those responsible for the company, one of the reasons were “the competitive challenges facing the company.” Complex options. In fact, they explained that they have begun to analyze in detail their possible strategic movements to get out of this situation. One of them is refinancing their debt. The other, find a buyer, indicate In Bloomberg. Amazon already raised Irobot. Curiously, the company that manufactures these devices could be acquired by Amazon in the past. The company now led by Andy Jassy Theoretically came to buy itbut the European Union threatened Block the agreement And Amazon ended up backing down, with which this process never closed. A shadow of what it was. When Amazon was going to acquire Irobot, the assessment of the Roomba was 1.4 billion dollars. Its current market value is only 200 million dollars, seven times less. Pending debt. The investment firm Carlyle Group INC provided Irobot a loan of 200 million dollars in 2023. At that time the accounts did not have left, and that money allowed Irobot to have some liquidity while the acquisition of Amazon was managed. Not closing the operation, Carlyle can now collect terrible interests for Irobot: 9%. Too much competition. Roomba vacuums are still very well valued, but in recent years the competition has shown not wanting to be left behind. Robot vacuum cleaners has been rapidly used by other brands that have managed to equate in benefits, and in Irobot that brutal competition has noticed much.

Openai has just signed a contract of 11.9 billion dollars, according to Reuters. It’s a poisoned dart for Microsoft

by

The idyll between OpenAI with Microsoft It seems to be a thing of the past. Both companies have been preparing their respective future strategies for months, and it seems clear that in both cases the objective is the same: cut that relationship and independent of each other. Openai ends up announcing something key to achieve it. He has thrown new girlfriend, could be said. Who is Coreweave. Coreweave is a startup in which Nvidia has 6% participation. The company has a compound infrastructure (at the end of 2024) by 32 data centers with about 250,000 graphics cards of NVIDIA. Now he added more, including the new GPUS with Blackwell architecture, and thanks to that he can offer training and inference services for AI models. They started with crypts. The company is an example of the conversion, because when it was founded in 2017, Coreweave (then called Atlantic Crypto) was dedicated to Ethereum mining with GPUS. After the value fall in cryptocurrencies in 2018 they ended up changing their name and focus a year later. OpenAI signs an agreement with Coreweave. According to Reuters These two companies have reached an agreement worth 11.9 billion that will last five years. OpenAI will receive $ 350 million from Coreweave shares, and while Coreweave earns a spectacular customer for his future. And above all, in the face of his future public offer of actions. An impulse for your OPA. Coreweave is about to go overand intends to lift at least 4,000 million dollars. In 2024 they had revenues of 1.9 billion dollars, almost eight times more than in 2023, when 228.9 million dollars entered. Which is also double. The problem that Coreweave had is that they depended almost on a single client, Microsoft, which was responsible for 62% of that income. It also has as clients Cohere, goal and mystral, but with less prominence. Openai alliance is especially important to encourage investors to trust their future and in success of that IPO. Microsoft and OpenAi go to yours. In the announcement of the Stargate project it was clear that Microsoft would cease to be the only opening infrastructure provider of OpenAI. Meanwhile, Microsoft works In its own reasoning models to compete with those of OpenAI or Deepseek R1, for example, that effort is added to the development of the models Like Phi 4. A Plan B for Azure or AWS. OpenAI seems determined to avoid as much as possible to large cloud infrastructure suppliers such as Microsoft with Azure or Amazon with AWS. His alliance with Coreweaver is especially significant, especially since it implies another evidence that the alliance with Microsoft seems definitely condemned.

Bill Gates has a fortune of 107,000 million dollars and his collection of watches is not worth more than $ 100: but they are jewels

by

The Microsoft co -founder has been one of the richest people in the world for almost four decades, and today It holds a fortune of 107.6 billion dollarsaccording to Forbes. During that time, his taste for watches has been molded. Unlike Mark Zuckerberg, who has directed his collection of watches towards models of more than 1.3 million dollarsGates’ tastes are much more practical. Gates’s watches Rather Collect high -end watches as they usually do The millionairesBill Gates maintains a curious fidelity that goes back several decades ago with a Japanese brand: Casio. This choice reflects its pragmatic approach in terms of meaning that watches have For the millionaire, being an object with a functional end and not as a complement of luxury and ostentation of its wealth. Gates has at least three different models of this Japanese brand, famous for its reliability, durability and a functional design that is again fashionable with the return of the 90s aesthetics. One of the watches that has been seen most on Bill Gates’ wrist is the hard casio, an analog diving clock. One of those occasions was during Your visit to Harvard University In 2018. This model, also known as Casio Marlin MDV-106-1AVstands out for its water resistance (up to 200 meters), with a stainless steel box and black sphere, all for a price less than 70 euros. However, one of Gates’s favorite watches is even more minimalist and sober, betting on a completely black finish. It is the Casio MRW-200H-1B2Va light clock without great pretensions that has LED lighting, long -term battery, water resistance, stopwatch and a price that Round the 20 or 30 eurosdemonstrating that it is not necessary to spend a fortune to have a functional and reliable accessory. Another of the usual models in the Gates wrist is Casio W214H-1AV Illuminator Sports Digital Chrono Watch. Unlike the previous ones, the W214H is completely digital and retains a very marked novelty aesthetic. Its price ranges from the 20 and 30 eurosalthough being an already discontinued model they can only be found in the second -hand market. The “nokia” of the watches Gates’ loyalty for the Japanese brand is not an exception or an exclusive fixation of the millionaire. Casio was one of the most relevant brands in electronic watchmaking in the late 80s and 90s, with such models mythical and indestructible such as F-91Wwhich continues for sale 30 years after its launch.

I have tried Chinese vision of 200 dollars. They are just what I expected

by

If I tell you that you can have something similar to the Vision Pro For about 200 dollars, you would take me crazy. And you wouldn’t lack reason. But Chinese manufacturer Emdoor has brought Mobile World Congress Visionse 162, Mixed reality glasses at a price of 1,600 yuan. 220 dollars to change. The manufacturer’s website You leave doubts: these glasses are the Chinese clone of Vision Pro, based on Android, and completely independent of any smartphone. They work with their own applications and … Are they not so bad? These glasses, as you will imagine for their design, are what they are: mixed reality glasses, independent, with their own battery and a controller that is included when buying them. The manufacturing quality is expected in glasses that cost 200 dollars. Honestly, it seemed even superior to what could be expected for this price. The physical screen is 5.5 inches, LCD and with a resolution of 3,664 x 1920, with 72 Hz of refreshment rate. A 4K projection is promised, but with trap. This is the total resolution, not the resolution by eye. This means that you have to divide those pixels in half and the result is … very just. The processor they incorporate is the Qualcomm XR1a specialized chip for independent augmented reality glasses. It was launched in 2018, but at that time he endured 4K content to a maximum of 30fps. According to the web, they can project up to 120 inches. In my test I have not managed to activate this projection, but on the paper they paint quite well, always taking into account the important limitations in resolution. The adjustment to the head is done by means of an adjustable velcro band. We have no exact weight fact, but They are quite light glasses. I have seemed quite comfortable for a few minutes, although it remains to be verified the visual fatigue they generate with the passing of the hours. Your interface is not badly resolved: it is an Android launcher that mimics the interface of VISIONS. He had installed emulators such as PPSSPP, but without command it is quite difficult to run emulator. They have a small command that helps control glasses, since it has no air gestures. And, yes, it works as Vision Pro. You can visualize the contents of the interface while “the real world” is behind. The operating system is Android 8.1, quite old and insecure. By having such an old processor they have it difficult to update, and even more to execute applications that have stopped supporting this version. Control, using the side buttonsis exactly the same as native Android: back, beginning and multitasking (menu). It is easy to get used to using it for a few minutes, although everything becomes easier with the controller. This, of a somewhat justite plastic, is composed of a joystick and a couple of buttons (back, menu), and connects by USB-C. We can connect any type of Android compatible, ideal for games. In short, these glasses are exactly what could be expected for a price of 200 dollars to change: a quality clone justices and executing Android, an operating system that is not optimized or focused on its concrete use in mixed reality. Despite this, they are a more than curious alternative and, if you have been wanting to try it, you can Buy in Aliexpress for 400 euros.
