Anti-mosquito repellents have been effective for 40 years. Now mosquitoes are learning to appreciate them

Summer is practically upon us and this means that mosquitoes are also beginning to be the order of the day. Here one of the great allies we have to spend a good night is the repellent that keeps mosquitoes away from our skin, but the problem is that now these little insects seem to have unlocked a new and disturbing achievement: relating repellent to the best place to bite. A new problem. A recent study published in the magazine Journal of Experimental Biology points out that the classic repellent made up of the synthetic molecule N,N-Diethyl-meta-toluamide It has stopped repelling mosquitoes and started attracting them. In this study, the researchers focused on the Aedes aegyptithe infamous mosquito yellow feverdengue and Zika. From here, what they did was design a highly controlled laboratory environment with meshes, heat sources that simulated human warm blood or sugar rewards. But they combined all these ideal conditions with the presence of the smell of repellent. The result. From several cycles of exposure to these environmental conditions, they could see that mosquitoes had the ability to learn and create an association between the repellent and the presence of a good place to bite. This means that if a mosquito dares to cross the barrier left by the repellent and manages to bite, or feed on sugar in this case, its brain is reprogrammed and the repellent goes from being a “danger” signal to a “there is food here” signal. In fact, the data showed that, after this conditioning, more than 60% of mosquitoes They went back to searching for the smell of the repellent, ignoring its original repulsive nature. It takes years. Although the jump to “attraction” is novel, the reality is that entomologists have been keeping the fly behind their ears for some time. Without going any further, in 2013 a study already showed that mosquitoes developed tolerance to repellents. In this case, it was found that three hours after a first exposure to DEET, the insects ignored the repellent. And now we know a little more about what exactly happens neurobiologically. You have to use it well. These results have occurred in a very controlled environment and forcing scenarios that are very specific with guaranteed rewards. But in the real world we find greater chaos and a mosquito that smells the repellent and cannot bite, because the concentration is high, it does not receive the “reward” of blood, so that learning is not consolidated. That is why researchers point to the need for the repellent to be applied within the time frame and in adequate concentration. But this does not mean that we do not have to redesign public health strategies adapting them to this plasticity that mosquitoes have, since we are not just talking about an annoying bite, but we are talking about the fact that the mosquito is a transmitter of very important diseases such as malaria or Zika.

Three settings for iOS and Android that are more effective to avoid straining your eyes if you have presbyopia than changing the text size

If you are already a few years old and presbyopia is starting to make an appearance, don’t limit yourself to making the text on your cell phone bigger. Let’s tell you others three most effective adjustments to avoid straining your eyes that you can turn to, and that are available on both Android and iOS. These are three fairly simple adjustments that are not going to be as disruptive in terms of showing less content on the screen as when you increase the font size. However, they are going to be even more effective in helping you read. The key is contrast, bold and white balance. Expands screen contrast In the accessibility options of your mobile you have an option to increase contrast or high contrast text. By doing so, there were no more pale grays or blues that are difficult to read, the mobile will force the apps to show the maximum contrast in your texts to make them easier to read. You can combine this option with reducing transparency on iOS or disabling blur effects on Android, to eliminate some translucent effects that can make content difficult to read. Turn on bold text On iOS, within the text display and size section in the accessibility options you will have the option to activate bold text. With this you will make all the letters of the operating system, from the clock to the notifications, appear in bold. This will make all text easier to read without having to make it larger. In Android 16 you will have an even more advanced option, which is outlined text, within the Screen and text size section in the accessibility options. This will add a small border to each character to make it much easier to read, even when there are complex backgrounds behind it. Adjust the white balance The third setting that I recommend you try is the white balance. In iOS the option is called Reduce white pointand it’s in the display and text size settings in the accessibility section. On Android the equivalent is in the screen tone settings, within the section Screen. With this, what you will do is reduce the intensity of pure whitesnot the brightness in general. By doing so, the screen will be less bright, and it will be more comfortable for your eyes to read, especially when you are using your mobile at night or in poorly lit areas.

“Japanese walks” are much more effective than your daily hour-long walk

For years we have heard the mantra of 10,000 steps a day as the magic number to stay in shape and keep chronic diseases at bay. However, science has been pointing elsewhere for some time now, such as the need to do strength training, and when it comes to walking, it no longer takes into account how many steps are taken, but rather how are they made. And this is where the “Japanese walk” comes into play. A new system. For friends, ‘Japanese walk’ and for the more technical, known as ‘Interval Walking Training’. A walking system that has been developed by different Japanese researchers and is based on intervals and also on how positive it can be to integrate with the environment that surrounds us. How to do it. The formula to test it is quite simple, since you simply have to alternate 3 minutes of fast walking at 70% of our maximum aerobic capacity with 3 minutes of slow walking at 40% capacity. Although three minutes seems very little, the point here is that we are going to repeat this same thing a total of ten times, until we reach at least 30 total minutes of exercise, changing as we go. And the recommended frequency to obtain results is 4 days per week. There is science behind it. Although it is a technique that is gaining quite a bit of strength in recent months, the reality is that science has been analyzing the impact it has on our health for many years. In this way, in 2024, a study concluded that this method improves glycemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes through greater glucose effectiveness, and not only due to insulin sensitivity. In 2025, a review also noted that this type of interval exercise prolongs healthy life, preventing chronic diseases, dementia and bone loss, which is especially beneficial in people with low initial levels of bone mineral density. His secret. For us to really see these benefits, the most important thing behind it is adherence. Here technology plays a fundamental role, such as mobile applications that make it easier for the population to follow this routine without depending on in-person supervision by third parties. Something that is ideal especially for older people. Images | pressfoto In Xataka | We have been debating for years whether it is better to go to the gym in the morning or in the afternoon.

ChatGPT has gone from offering you help to insinuating secrets. It is more effective to hook you

There is something that has changed in ChatGPT and that is difficult to name precisely. It is not a new feature nor is it in the update notes. It’s more subtle: the model has begun to finish his answers with a kind of whisper. Things like… “If you want, I can tell you something that almost no one explains about this.” “There is a detail of neighborhood psychology that usually works even better.” “Normally the real number is quite surprising” These three examples are literal, they have appeared to me in my last conversations. In them they are not offering you to do something, as was usual. He is hinting to you that he knows something that you don’t know yet.. And that the majority, as it is conveyed, do not know either. For a few months now, ChatGPT’s behavior has been quite marked: he closed his responses like a diligent butler: “shall I turn this into an infographic?”, “do you want me to compose the email?”. He was proactive, sometimes tiresome, but the gesture was one of service. What he does now is something else. He has gone from offering you his time to offering you access to something almost secret. And that activates something different in whoever reads it. I attach several recent examples: Behavioral psychologists have been studying for decades why certain questions are almost impossible to ignore. The answer has to do with the discomfort caused by knowing that there is information that you are missing and that it is right there. It even manages to convey urgency. The best headlines work like this. The first chapters of the best novels too. What ChatGPT has done, consciously or not (I would bet it is), is to put that mechanism at the end of each response. Each closure is now a hook in the shape of a secret about to be revealed. What makes the trick especially effective is that the hooks are not generic. They are calibrated for the conversation you just had. If you asked about sports supplements, the whisper is about pre-workouts. If you were asking for help for a note in your neighborhood community, it’s about neighborhood psychology. If you wanted to know the aid you can choose to receive to have a child, I promise that the real figure will surprise you. The promise always looks like exactly the information that you, specifically you, need next. That makes her almost irrejectable. It is possible that this has arisen from simple training, from simple statistics that explains all the functioning of the LLMs. But it smells like intentional design, and more so in a context of OpenAI in crisis mode in the face of the advance of Anthropic on the one hand and Google on the other. In either case, ChatGPT has learned that The best way to prolong a conversation is not by being more helpful, but by being more intriguing.. The butler who offers services has a natural limit because at some point the errand is done and there is no point in redounding. But the confidant who keeps secrets does not have that limit. There may always be another enigmatic whisper. And you will always want to listen to it. Me too.

Snow is one of the few things that can delay the Shinkansen in Japan. To combat it there is a solution as simple as it is effective.

Japanese bullet trains are known for their extreme punctuality. However, when the snow appears, neither the most cutting-edge railway system of the world is saved. And to combat it, the country’s railway institutions developed a solution as simple as it was ingenious: sprinklers installed along the tracks that spray water during snowfall. This is done to prevent snow from accumulating and wreaking havoc on the trains. We explain in detail how these systems work. Why is it important. Snow not only causes the system to stop being as punctual as usual, but it can also cause serious damage to high-speed trains. And at speeds above 200 km/h, the snow on the ground rises due to the air current generated by the train, which can cause it to compact under the cars forming ice balls that, upon impact with the ground, throw gravel into the air. This can end up breaking windows and damaging train components if left untreated. Japan has spent decades perfecting systems to eliminate this problem without sacrificing speed or punctuality. The origin of the problem. When the Shinkansen began regular operations in 1964, according to explains JR Tokai (the operating company of the Tokaido Shinkansen), construction was carried out in a hurry and “there was not enough time to consider” alternative routes that would avoid areas of heavy snowfall. In January 1965, just three months after launch, snowfall in the Sekigahara region caused serious incidentsincluding broken windows and shattered water tanks. The investigation revealed that the real culprit was speed, since the wind generated raised the snow, which ended up turning into ice projectiles under the carriages. The solution: sprinklers. To prevent the snow from rising and forming those dangerous ice balls, it was installed a sprinkler system along the tracks that sprays water during snowfall. There are currently sprinklers deployed in a stretch of more than 70 kilometers, covering the lines most affected by the snow. In 2009, the nozzles were improved so that the water reached areas that were not reached before, melting the snow more effectively. The system does not completely remove snow, but changes its consistency to prevent it from compacting and flying, thus reducing the risk of damage. It is not the only solution. The water system is complemented by other resources. During non-service hours, snow plows work at dawn to remove accumulated snow. Since 2003, rotary snow plows have been used that use rotating brushes capable of cleaning up to five centimeters below the surface of the rails. In addition, since 2013, devices with optical sensors have been used to monitor weather conditions, and there are cameras installed under the carriages to detect snow accumulations. When a snow-covered train arrives at stations like Nagoya or Osaka, there are also specialized teams waiting under the platforms with high-pressure washers to quickly remove stuck-on snow. The results speak. All of this operation has radically transformed the Shinkansen’s defenses when the snow arrives. According to JR Tokaiin 1976 there were 635 train cancellations due to snow, a figure that has been reduced to zero since 1994. The average delay due to snowfall has also improved dramatically, dropping to just a few minutes. Beyond the trains. In the northern regions of Japan, where snowfall can exceed three meters, many roads have sprinklers integrated into the asphalt. The system, known as ‘shosetsu’ (disappearing snow) or ‘yuusetsu’ (melting snow), was developed in 1961 in the city of Nagaoka by Yosaburo Imai, founder of a century-old confectionery. Imai was inspired by observing that snow did not accumulate where thermal water gushed from underground. Since then, underground pipes transport geothermal water (at about 13-14°C) to pavement sprinklers that melt snow during winter storms, avoiding the use of salt or snow blowers.

how effective it is to get vaccinated

Spain is experiencing a flu epidemic which cannot be compared to that of recent years, since this season the increase in infections has multiplied considerably, especially in Madrid or Catalonia. The responsible for this is a new subvariant of the H3N2 influenza virus called ‘K’. And this has made us ask many questions, such as whether vaccines work or not. The figures. The flu epidemic is generally recorded throughout Spain, but not homogeneously. In the regions of Catalonia and Madrid, the curve is presented as a true vertical line that reminds us of the worst of covid. But the good news we have in this case is that hospital or ICU admissions are not increasing significantlyas pointed out by the Carlos III Health Institute. The weapons we have. That there are many cases of flu at this time is normal. That is why we have tools such as vaccination in the last months of the year to try to control infections or at least reduce symptoms in the case of contracting the disease. The problem is that viruses are very ‘damn’ and have the ability to easily outwit vaccines. making changes to its structure. In this way, we train our body to fight against a virus that subsequently has small modifications that mean it cannot fight it 100%. To try to alleviate this, flu vaccines count in their preparation with the most common strains of the flu virus (that is, its different types) so that we can fight them. Especially considering the variants that existed in the previous season. Graph of cases in the Community of Madrid in Primary Care The ‘k’ variant. It blew up all the prevention plans that were made in our country, causing the virus to have a small modification that makes our body unable to fight thanks to previous training. Something that could confirm the WHO and the European Center for Disease Prevention and Control which after testing in the laboratory They saw that the virus has an easier time bypassing the first defense barrier. But it works. This is where the vital nuance comes in to avoid falling into alarmism. And even if the virus manages to infect us, the vaccine continues to fulfill its main function: preventing us from ending up in the hospital or ICU. Something that matters (a lot) for older people or those who have an illness that reduces their defenses. Despite that “escape” in the laboratory, preliminary data from the real world, coming from the UK (UKHSA) and endorsed by the ECDC, provide reassuring figures on the effectiveness of the vaccine, since in children the effectiveness remains between 70-75%and in adults hospitalization is avoided 30-40% of the time. Why are there so many cases? As we say, the current situation means that the virus can be transmitted without problem, and we have a vaccine that, although it protects against ending up in the hospital, does not stop transmission. This causes many people to be sick, but without a significant increase in mortality or hospital admissions that strains our system as we live in Covid. You have to get vaccinated. With all this data, the conclusion we can draw is that it is advisable to get vaccinated. Something that we already see in the different communities that encourage us to do it with massive campaigns that monopolize to the entire population and not only those that present some risk like the older ones. This also adds to the obligatory that some autonomous communities have established to wear a mask in health spaces such as a hospital. At the national level, only the recommendation to do so prevails. What should be noted is that children are undoubtedly the most important group in this case. This is because they are very prone to becoming infected by being in contact with other children, but their system responds well and they do not present major symptoms or they take a long time to develop. The problem comes when you can spread it to your entire environment where you can find older people like your grandparents. This makes them perfect vectors for this virus.

Speaking in English to a baby still in the womb seems like an absurd idea. Science has just discovered that it is effective

We have long known that Babies recognize their mother’s voice from the womb and who show a preference for their mother tongue a few days after birth. However, now we know a little more thanks to studies neuroimaging studies that have confirmed something we intuited: the brain of a newborn is prepared to recognize foreign languages ​​if it has heard them in the womb during gestation. The experiment. To reach this conclusion, a team from Sainte-Justine University Hospital in Montreal recruited 60 pregnant women from monolingual French-speaking families. From here they did two different phases: prenatal exposure and brain analysis after birth. Prenatal exposure. In this case, a group of 39 fetuses was selected and exposed to recordings of a story during the last month of gestation. To do so, the mothers placed headphones on their abdomen so that the fetus could hear the story in its native language, which was French, and also in a foreign language, which was German or Hebrew. These languages ​​were chosen specifically because their rhythmic and phonological properties are very different from those of French. The second group, of 21 fetuses, acted as a control and did not receive any experimental exposure, hearing only the French of their natural environment, which is what happens in any type of normal pregnancy. Brain analysis. A few days after birth (between 10 and 78 hours), the brain activity of all these newborns began to be monitored while they listened to the same story in three languages: French, German and Hebrew. To do this, they used functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS), a non-invasive technique that measures changes in blood oxygenation in the brain to see which areas are activated. The results. They were certainly surprising. The brains of newborns reacted almost identically to their native language and the foreign language they had been hearing in the womb. In both cases, an increase in activity was observed in the temporal regions of the left hemisphere, which is a key area for language processing with Broca’s area, among others. In contrast, when these babies heard the completely new foreign language (the one they had not heard before), their brains showed a different response, with less activation in language areas and more activity in general sound-processing regions. The conclusion. This finding suggests that the fetal brain not only hears, but “learns” to recognize the patterns of a language, which causes a specialization of the left hemisphere. One of the authors point specifically that “Our results provide evidence that even brief prenatal exposure to a foreign language could make it recognizable to neonates, leading to brain activation patterns similar to those observed when listening to their native language.” Anne Gallagher, a neuropsychologist at the University of Montreal and lead author of the study, qualifies the concept of “learning”: “We cannot say that babies ‘learn’ a language prenatally. What we can say is that neonates develop a familiarity with one or more languages ​​during gestation, which shapes their brain networks at birth.” Understand development. These findings reinforce the idea that a newborn’s brain is not a ‘blank slate’, but that the gestational environment contributes a lot to its brain development, since its brain processing begins here to be shaped before birth. However, experts caution that this study should not be interpreted as a guide for parents to expose their babies to multiple languages ​​in order to make them more intelligent or multilingual. But it does give us an idea of ​​how this important characteristic is developing. Limitations. The study, while revealing, also has its limitations, such as a relatively small sample size that prevented, for example, directly comparing responses to German versus Hebrew. Still, it shows that even brief, repeated exposure to linguistic stimuli can modify a newborn’s language brain networks, laying the foundation for future development.

A Spanish company wants to convert the chitamiedos into biker allies. Promises to be as simple as effective

We are not going to discover anything if we say that chitamiedos are one of the great dangers for motorists and cyclists. For years solutions of all kinds have been sought. Among them have been proposed and installed Save them With double protection, Some even padded To absorb the impact and above all, eliminate the blade effect from the supports. There are also tubular options that follow that same logic of double and lower protection but avoiding the small pillars that can curtail members. Now, a Spaniard has presented a new addition that does not imply a new design of the cloakrooms. In this case, the objective is that emergency services can act faster and, therefore, some times that can be crucial when an accident is suffered. A connected alternative The system is called Plugsmart Pro And it is devised by the University University of Valencia (UPV) in collaboration with the Valenciana Metalese company is based on a similar idea. In this case they use artificial intelligence, environment monitoring systems and bidirectional signaling to alert drivers in real time. The system Analyze Constantly what happens around them and changes their lighting to warn drivers, bikers or cyclists that they approach a dangerous place, in complicated conditions or that there is some obstacle along the way. To do this, use some lights connected to each other that are installed on the wore. These emit a certain halo of light but when the weather conditions are complicated, the light takes strength. It is the simplest function because the truly interesting is in the monitoring of the environment. If the guardraíl detects that another vehicle is approaching, the flashes become more visible to alert who is on the other side of the curve. Also if, for example, there is a damaged vehicle, an injured person or an animal is crossing the road. If the system detects a dangerous object, the intensity of light increases. The invention has won the Ponle Brake Prize for Innovation in Road Safety in 2024 and this year the National Award Award for Conservation Safety. The companions of Motorpasion motorcyclethat from the DGT have already shown their support for the system. And it is that when the last great advantage of the system is that it can notify emergency services in case of accident. The latter is one of the incentives that the DGT has wielded to convince us that the V-16 lights that will be mandatory as of January are better than the classic triangles. That is, the system alerts drivers, cyclists and motorists that They approach a danger and its light adapts to signal its risk. But, in addition, it comes into contact with the authorities in case of detecting a blow with the intention that the response time from the accident warning to its performance is as much as possible.

Their brakes have a lot of posture and little effective

No one doubts the effectiveness of the Xiaomi Su7 Ultra. But more and more details that make us ask ourselves if the most special sportsman of the Chinese firm dresses with too much paraphernalia. The last thing we know Apuna to it, with disc brakes that, in reality, hide a minimum size pills. Gold seems. But stop, it does not seem that in front of everything I should. And it is that the disassembly of the brakes of the Xiaomi Su7 Ultra has shown that what is hidden under its huge housing is, in fact, some little larger brake pills than those of a Seat Ateca. And, although its housing is huge and stands out behind the tires, the truth is that its brake pads seem to be infradimensive for the weight and power of the vehicle. “There is more decorative clamp that really brakes,” explain our partners from Motorpasion. Overheating. The clash of influencer tang zhu liao che behind the wheel From an Xiaomi Su7 Max, which mounts very similar brakes, already gave the alarm. Trying to look for his best time in the Shanghai Tianma circuit, the driver ran out of brakes due to an overheating problem, ending in the protections. The same has happened to an Xiaomi Yu7 Max in Tianjin V1 circuit, they report in Carnewschina. In this case, brakes came to support temperatures above 600 degrees which, again, caused overheating that left them unusable and even burned. Too small. Criticisms of Xiaomi do not come to lie about their brakes. What happens is that these do not seem to be prepared to endure cars of more than two tons launched at maximum speed in a circuit. This could be overcome but the truth is that the company has sold its xiaomi su7 ultra as a perfect car for circuit. To the point that he wanted to force his drivers to pass a test as if it were Gran Turismo. The point is that Xiaomi gives what it promises: Brembo brakes perforated with four pistons. However, its size is much smaller than its housing suggests. And that is a problem because at a lower disc size, It is more likely that overheating will be registered And, therefore, the brakes die along the way. And at a smaller pill size, smaller mordant. Too spectacular. It is not the first time that Xiaomi takes the colors because the elements of their electrical sports are more spectacular than effective. A few months ago, it was discovered that the competition hood that can be mounted on the Xiaomi Su7 Ultra It has no effect on driving And it is purely aesthetic. So, Some buyers demanded to the brand for deceptive advertising since they pointed out that it was one of the elements that allowed to achieve a better performance. However, the air intakes of the hood did not refrigerate any component directly and the company promised to withdraw the hood in those cases that, once the order has already been placed, they would not yet be delivered. Xiaomi defends himself. The most recent event with the Xiaomi Yu7 Max was recorded during a test in the vehicle circuit by various media. The driver, they count on Carnewschinadetected the problem in the brakes and decided to enter boxes to safeguard security. From Xiaomi, however, they defend themselves by ensuring that this happened because there was no warm -up return before the fast return and there was not a cooling turn before returning to boxes. This caused the combustion of small compounds next to the brake clamp but, according to its version, the performance remained optimal. They also explain that the return had not activated the Master Mode which activates a regenerative braking of up to 0.2 g that should help stop the vehicle making less use of the brakes. Is it so much? A little yes. And it should be borne in mind that the most powerful electric cars are, in their vast majority, huge cars because they need batteries that support their accelerations. And that forces to include brakes at the height. The companions of Motorpasion They compare Xiaomi’s Berlina with some rivals. They explain that the Chinese company does not offer concrete data of the size of its discs but it is estimated that they are around 320 mm in the Max and 430 mm versions in the ultra versions. A Tesla Model and Performancethat with its 530 hp they are far from the almost 700 of the Max and very far from the more than 1,500 hp of the ultra, it has a 355 mm discs, that is, larger than those of the Max version. A Porsche Taycan GTSwhich touches the 600 hp, mount 390 millimeters in front and 358 millimeters behind, with six and four pistons. But, above all, the difference is in the size of the pills. Not only that disc brakes are also smaller or are not so sized for power. The other big problem is that the size of the brake pill seems to approach that of a Seat Ateca instead of a supercar of more than two tons. And that, when you turn a circuit, it’s a problem.

If you have an old PC, there is an effective alternative against the requirements of Windows 11 and the Bloatware: Flyoobe works

With the End of Windows 10 support Scheduled for October 2025, many users face the dilemma of Buy a new team or search for alternatives to install Windows 11 in hardware that officially does not meet the requirements. Flyoobeborn from the evolution of the excellent Flyby11is presented as an integral solution to overcome Microsoft restrictions while also adds mechanisms so that the user has greater control over the operating system. A project that covers a need. Microsoft demands specific requirements for Windows 11, including TPM 2.0, Secure Boot and compatible processors. This He has left millions of computers that, although functional, they will not be able to update from Windows 10 officially once The support is for. Given this situation, tools such as Flyobe allow the most of many of the officially incompatible teams with Windows 11. How magic works. Flyobe’s secret lies in using the Windows Server installation variant, which automatically omits the TPM, Secure Boot and CPU compatibility checks. The final result remains standard Windows 11, but without the barriers imposed by Microsoft. The tool automatically manages the discharge and assembly of the necessary ISO, simplifying the entire process. More than a simple bypass method. While the classic Flyby11 version was limited to raffling hardware restrictions, Flyobe goes several steps beyond. Its main added is the complete control over the OOBE (OUT-OF-BOX Experience), that first experience you have when you turn on a new computer. Instead of accepting Microsoft’s default values, you can customize from the predetermined browser to the elimination of unwanted applications from the first start. The latest updates improve experience. Version 1.6 From the tool, which until the moment of writing this article is the most recent, incorporates a renewed interface with four clearly defined main options. It especially highlights its improved Bloatware elimination tool, which more effectively detects and eliminates the unnecessary applications that Windows 11 installs by default. It also includes an expanded application installer and text search to find specific options quickly. It is not the only alternative. Although there are alternatives such as RUFUS To create modified installation media, Flyobe turns towards a more complete option for those users who want a whole and very useful one. We also have other outstanding options such as Tiny11born with the premise of offering a lighter and lighter windows 11 for all types of devices. Flyobe brings together in the same application both what made Flyby11 shine to eliminate the requirements of Windows 11, and its new options to eliminate the system from the system and many other very interesting options. What you should take into account. Microsoft believes that non -compatible devices “have no guarantee of receiving updates.” Although in practice the majority continue to receive monthly security patches, from Flyoobe’s own page in Github warns The risk of future updates failing or Microsoft blocks access. In addition, if your processor is not compatible with The popcnt requirement or the SSE 4.2 instructions set, it will be impossible to install Windows 11, since they are essential instructions for the operation of Windows 11 24h2 and future updates. This set of instructions was already admitted by relatively old processors today, as the first generation of Intel Core i7 (2008).
