We have been waiting for years for 8K TVs to take over the world. It is evident that we are going to sit and wait

In the 80s you guessed that Indiana Jones had a four-day beard, but that’s all. You couldn’t really see it, because on your VHS tapes it was more of a shadow than anything else. Those of us who have gray hair are lucky (or unlucky) to have lived in past times in which image resolution It was something arcane and mysterious. I was content with the video quality of the VHS tapes of ‘The Goonies’ or ‘Indiana Jones and the Lost Ark’ and I was happy with my C64 and its 320×200 pixels and those matches of ‘Match Day II’ with my brother in which we both enjoyed (and fought) as if we were playing the last game. FIFA EA Sports FC. Then, of course, everything improved and we began to realize that the resolution was important. We discovered that DVDs and their 720×576 resolution (in the PAL system used in Spain, in the US the NTSC only reached 720 x480) was like seeing the future until that future became the past with the arrival of HD Ready (720p) and especially Full HD (1080p) resolutions. Suddenly it was absolutely obvious that Harrison Ford hadn’t shaved.

The signs that the system is broken are increasingly evident

On October 17, 2023, Jesús Fernández-Villaverde (the professor of economics at the University of Pennsylvania) gave an interview in El Mundo with a very simple headline “it shows: (in Spain) everything works badly.” Everyone thought it was exaggerated, sensationalist. But then it came the DANA (and its management), the April blackoutthe Redsys repeated crash and the payment system, fire chaos and, finally, the Andalusian mammography scandal. What began as an (apparently) isolated complaint has become a deep institutional crisis for Andalusian healthcare. But the problem goes much further, the request for data from the Ministry of Health to the rest of the communities has revealed that Spain has a huge problem with all this, that in fact in Spain more and more things are working poorly. The mammography crisis. Although the first complaints surfaced at the beginning of 2024 and the affected associations met with the Board during the summer, until the first cases reached the media, the Ministry of Health did not recognize that more than 2,000 women may not have been informed of a questionable lesion after screening. What came next was chaos: after limiting the problem to a single Hospital, they were forced to recognize a widespread problem and implement a “shock plan” that no one knows very well how it will be implemented. And, in the midst of this commotion, the Ministry of Health asked the communities for data to know how screening was working throughout the country. many of them they have refused (although not all). The prosecution has taken letters in the matter. The underlying problem. Because, honestly, we run the risk of thinking that all this is nothing more than another political battle: a partisan scuffle that, this time, has acquired the format of a health controversy. The clearest example is that the PP Health Ministers they just left en bloc the Interterritorial Health Council; while the Ministry accuses the communities of “hiding” the screening data because it is “bad” and shows their “incompetence.” But not. It is enough to analyze the data of any community to see that the underlying problem is that healthcare is increasingly having problems addressing the care burden it has on it. The case of Madrid is paradigmatic because, even though protocols are well designed On paper, “in most public centers the lists and the average waiting time grow” year after year. Similar problems we can see throughout the country. How deep is this crisis? That is surely the worst of all: that we still cannot know how deep the problem is because the opacity of the Spanish institutional framework is enormous. It is true that this is not exclusively a Spanish problem: we still remember thehe confidence with which public health systems Westerners that they would be able to detect COVID and block it before it arrived to their respective populations. Shortly after, Italy’s outbreak broke out. What we don’t know is costing us our health. Civio has been researching for years as primary care is drowninghow public psychological care is almost a chimera, how dozens of health services depend on where you live and how, little by little, health is falling into the hands of private interests. But even that doesn’t explain the problem we are in. Because the central issue is that we don’t even know how we are. We also don’t know where we are going. And that is the worst of all: it removes the very possibility of us taking the reins and coming up with solutions.

We face two of Amazon’s best selling fryers and the result is not as evident as it seems

The air fryers They have ceased to be a passenger fashion to become a key appliance in many kitchens. His promise to cook with less oil, faster and without sacrificing flavor has made more and more people consider incorporating them into their day to day. But among so many models, prices and characteristics, making a decision can be complicated. Therefore, the big question is clear: what is the best option? After several weeks, one of our favorite formats returns of the Xataka YouTube channel: The versus. In this series we face two face -to -face devices to analyze every detail and decide which one deserves the most. This time we put on the table two very popular air fryers: the Cosori Premium Chef Edition and the Cecotec Cecofry Full Inox Pro 5500. We have tested them thoroughly with the aim of finding the one that best suits the daily use and any kitchen. A mission: find the best fryer Ana Boria has spent several days cooking with the two fryers in her daily routine, trying Equal recipes in both devices and evaluating your performance in real conditions. To leave it in his initial words: “I have here the two best -selling air fryers of Amazon for years and I have decided to try them and face them face to see which of the two is the best purchase option,” he says. Design is the first point that marks differences. Our partner summarized it like this: “The first thing that caught my attention when taking them out of the box is that the Cecotec is much lighter than the Cosori and is not only because it is smaller, but because of construction materials, since it has worse quality plastics.” That initial feeling could anticipate part of the verdict, but let’s not be fooled, that there are surprises. The experience of use goes through the interface and cleaning, two key points when it is cooked daily. “The button is quite similar in bothwith the icons backlighted behind the touch plastic panel. The good thing about this type of botone is that we prevent the buttons from erasing over time, ”says our partner. What system will the usability and maintenance easier? The performance, on the other hand, is measured in speed and cooking uniformity, two key aspects when using a daily fryer. “During all these days with the two fryers I have tried to cook different dishes and there has been one thing that has caught my attention. The Cosori takes much less to cook,” Ana explains. The difference in time is especially noticeable in crispy recipes, but the question is which achieves the best balance between speed and results. During all these days with the two fryers I have tried to cook different dishes and there has been one thing that has caught my attention. The Cosori takes much less to cook. For many users, noise and consumption are decisive when choosing an appliance. In our tests we find Clear differences in the sound generated by each modeland to verify it we turn to precise measurements with a soundometer. These data reveal that, beyond cooking performance, there are practical aspects such as acoustic comfort that incline the balance. Not everything is power. The real price of a fryer is not measured only by the device: official accessories can make a difference. “For 57 euros we have a very complete fryer, with good power and good capacity,” says Ana about the Cecotec, while Cosori costs more even without extras. In this section, each brand plays its letters differently, and understanding that balance between value and cost helps to make a more accurate decision. The comparison leaves a clear winner, but the differences between the two models deserve to be seen in detail. Each round provides nuances that go beyond the numbers and help to understand what is the best option for each type of user. If you want to know how each fryer behaves in real stages and discover the final verdict, you can do it In the new versus on the YouTube channel of Xataka.
