The US has finally formalized the 104% tariff to China. Act then Apple has ceased to be the most valuable company

by

There is no truce for large technological ones. This same afternoon, The White House has made official A 104% tariff to imports from China. The decision, which marks a new tension peak in the commercial war that Donald Trump unleashed, has not taken to agitate the markets. The consequences have been immediate. Apple, the great victim. Although in Spain it is almost midnight, in The east of the United States the markets have just closed with red numbers. Apple led the falls with a collapse of almost 5% in a single daywhich adds to the accumulated retreat of 23% since this new wave of tariffs began last week. The company has seen how its stock capitalization fell to 2.59 billion dollars. That decrease has been enough for Cupertino’s firm to lose the most valuable quoted company title in the world. The throne is again for Microsoft, which has closed the day with an even more pronounced fall (-7%), but with a slightly higher capitalization: 2.63 billion. A rivalry that remains alive. In the last five years, Apple and Microsoft have alternated several times the leadership in the markets. However, since mid -2024, Apple had established itself at the top, benefited by the good behavior of their income and the trust of investors. Microsoft, meanwhile, suffered a correction in the middle of last year, when doubts began to emerge about the sustainability of their investments in artificial intelligence. The market feared that the expense was excessive and unprofitable in the medium term. Falls in chain. The punishment has not been exclusive to Apple. Other great technology have also closed in red. Nvidia, third company for stock market capitalization globally, has dropped 1.37%. Amazon has retreated 2.62%, while Alphabet (Google) has lost 1.78%. Nor has Asml, the Dutch giant of the semiconductors, who has suffered a 3.32%drop. The origin of the conflict. It all started last week, when the Trump administration decided to reactivate commercial pressure on China with a 34% tariff on certain products. The measure was presented as a “reciprocal” action, but in Beijing it did not like. The Ministry of Commerce responded with a warning: “If the United States insists on following its own path, China will fight until the end.” Trump imposed an ultimatum: if China did not turn before Tuesday, it would impose a new 50%tariff. Beijing did not yield, and Washington either. In fact, in the last hours it had been leaked that the Chinese government even valued the distribution of American films as a form of symbolic retaliation. The result: confirmed climbing. The lack of agreement has led to the announcement that the markets have exploded: the new 50% tariff comes into force on Wednesday, shortly after midnight in Washington. In addition to existing taxes, the total exceeds 104%.

The Government finally approves the great advance pending in our identification

by

The expected digitalization of the National Identity Document (DNI) has taken a key step today. This Tuesday, the Council of Ministers has approved The regulation that establishes the basis for the implementation of this document in digital format. Thus, full validity is granted to the document in digital formatprovided that the holder carries it through the official application ‘Midni’. It is not a complete substitution of the physical ID, but the digital version will act as a virtual replica that will identify us before the authorities. The digital ID. The Interior Ministry, in collaboration with the National Police, has detailed how the application ‘Mi DNI’ will work. This will allow access to our National Identity Document and be accredited to public and private entities. “With the DNI on the mobile, identity identity can be accredited in person, but for the moment it will not be used to do so through the Internet, to use it as an electronic travel document for border step, to prove identity in other countries or make telematic efforts of authentication and/or electronic signature.” Home Office. This digital ID will serve any public or private registration process, acting with the same legal validity of the physical document. The digital ID will carry an QR code incorporated, similar to what we already saw with the digitally legalized driving license in the Midgt app. How exactly does it work? Through the ‘MIDNI’ application, the user will be requesting their identity data from the National Police so that they can be requested by third parties. The QR, which will have limited validity (will only be valid for a few minutes), will be signed and sealed by said police force. What can I do with Midni. The Interior Ministry itself indicates that the digital DNI will act the same as the physicist, allowing identity accreditation in the face of face -to -face procedures, establishing any type of legal relationship, writing signature, opening of bank accounts, realization of commercial transactions and, in the future (2026) telematic efforts. In other words, the legality of the digital ID is the same as the physical ID, and it is expected that by 2026 it will be possible to perform all kinds of procedures, both face -to -face and online, with it. Midni app interface. Downloading the app. The app will be available on both Google Play Store and App Store. How do they point in Xataka Mobileit is crucial to look well in the name and developer. Since 2024 there is an application called ‘My DNI’ without any legal validity and developed by the American International Eidas LLC. The original app is ‘Midni’, without spaces in its name. This is the only valid application to the administration, and the only one in which we can introduce our ID with security guarantees. It will be available from tomorrow Wednesday at 8:00 a.m. in the two large apps. We will update this piece as soon as they are ready for download. Deployment and registration of the digital ID. It will not be enough to download an application and enter our data. For the digital ID registration, it will be necessary to have electronic ID and digital certificate in force, in addition to access to a card reader. In case of not having one, we can carry out the procedure in any nearby police station. The process will be carried out through The website enabled for this purpose. A curious fact is that users can choose what data they appear after showing the QR, with three options available. DNI + Age: It will show photography, name and majority. Simple ID: will show photography, name, surname, sex and validity of DNI. Complete DNI: All elements of the ID The margin time is set in a period of twelve months so that private administrations and entities adopt the necessary measures for their proper functioning. During this period, its acceptance will not be mandatory, a point to take into account in this moment of transition.

The seven years of Android updates begin (finally) to be a standard

by

The problem with Android updates is an endemic evil that has been affecting this operating system since its inception. Without being solved, there are brands that gradually remedy. And the last to join is honor: the manufacturer raises the bar to the seven guaranteed years of key Android updates. The first to receive them will be the Magic7 Pro Honor. It is not that Android evolves in excess year after year, most of the changes focus on security, privacy and communication improvements between hardware, software and user. Although yes, although it does not change in excess, there is no doubt that we all want our phones to be updated. The longer the better, especially when the manufacturer’s layer ends up overlapping Android’s own. Presentation of the Honor Alpha Plan with seven years of Android and Security Updates Seven years is the top. At least for the moment: From Google itselfthe company that develops the operating system, to honor, the most recent brand in Make the determination to keep your devices more life. Samsung was one of those who opened the ban: four years of Android updates in the Samsung Galaxy S21 And seven years from the Samsung Galaxy S24 From now on. In addition, the number of key updates is equated with that of security patches, an equally important software for devices, since it solves critical errors that allow attacks against devices. With the Honor Alpha Plan, a strategy presented by the company within the framework of the MWC and that foresees a remarkable investment in software, artificial intelligence and connected devices, Honor has taken the step expanding to the extreme the Android updates of its smartphones. At the moment the confirmation comes for a single model, although the most logical thing is that it extends to others equally important in its catalog, such as the folding Honor Magic V3. It is great news and a good first step that should extend. Security update at a Samsung Galaxy Updates yes, but with priority to the high range. While it is logical that it is the best mobile phones that receive more attention from the manufacturers, thereby offering greater value to their customers, that the guarantee of system updates remains in the most expensive mobiles leaves out most of the volume of users. After all, the mobiles that are most sold are usually the cheapest and those who have the most risk of attacks. The Android update guarantee is never global: brands offer more years only to the most modern and powerful of their catalog Samsung is extending its update policy also to its Galaxy A range, even to the Mobiles like the new Samsung Galaxy A56 They offer six years of Android versions, security patches and One UIthe same happens with the most economical Samsung Galaxy M16 5g. Android updates Security updates honor Up to 7 years Up to 7 years Samsung Up to 7 years Up to 7 years Google Up to 7 years Up to 7 years Apple 5-6 years (on all iPhone) 5-6 years (on all iPhone) Motorola Up to 5 years Up to 5 years Xiaomi Up to 4 years Up to 5 years OnePlus Up to 4 years Up to 5 years Oppo Up to 4 years Up to 5 years Realme Up to 3 years Up to 4 years Democratizing Android updates implies improving user experience, their safety, offers greater privacy and, also, transfers the improvements of the new models to which they have been in the market for a while. Having a long -term guarantee is good for those who buy a phone, but also for those who sell it. The satisfaction and commitment to the brand are gold. That a mobile is not updated does not imply that stop workingbut it makes it much more vulnerable. And it transmits lack of interest to the product and to whoever buys it: how honor adds to commitment to seven years is excellent news. Now it only remains that the guarantee extends to the rest of the catalog apart from the honor Magic7 Pro.

The finest folding in the market is the first one that finally feels as a normal mobile

by

I have tried the Oppo Find N5: the finest folding in the market is the first one that I finally feel like a normal mobile I have changed my opinion of the folding. The dream It seemed farbut after trying the Oppo Find N5 I see them differently. I think they are finally prepared to conquer the first battle line. Oppo has created a device whose low folding thickness of the 9 millimeters. And deployed are 4.21 mm. Maybe the numbers do not tell you much, but In hand the sensation is brutal. Better than expected. It is something else. It is the first folding that I do not feel thick or annoying. In recent months we have seen folding such as Huawei Mate X6 And above all the Honor Magic V3the closest to equate to a normal mobile in size and thickness. But it is that OPPO Find N5 is the first to achieve that Wow effect on design. The first one that I have placed next to an iPhone 16 Plus and my hand goes quickly to the folding. The Magic V3 stayed close, with the Find N5 finally I think the folding are already there. OPPO FIND N5, Technical Specifications OPPO FIND N5 Internal screen 8.12 -inch’s internal AMOLED screen Resolution of 2,480 x 2,248 pixels 96% screen-screen ratio LTPO 120 Hz Maximum brightness of 2,100 nits External screen 6.62 -inch’s internal AMOLED screen Resolution of 2,616 x 1,140 pixels 92% screen-screen ratio LTPO 120 Hz Maximum brightness of 2,450 nits Dimensions and weight Folding: 160.87 x 74.42 x 8.93 mm Displayed: 160.87 x 146.58 x 4.21 mm 229 grams PROCESSOR Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite Adreno 830 GPU RAM 12/16 GB LPDDR5X STORAGE 256/512 GB / 1 TB UFS 4.0 Front camera Internal screen: 8 mp f/2.4, 91º External screen: 8 mp f/2.4, 91º Rear camera Main: 50 MP F/1.8, OIS, 89º Teleobjective: 50 MP F/2.7, OIS, 30X Ultra wide angle: 8 mp f/2.2, OIS, 116º BATTERY 5,600 mAh Fast charging up to 80W Supervooc 50W wireless load Operating system Android 15 Color 15 Connectivity 5g Wi-Fi 7 Bluetooth 5.4 GPS, GNSS, GLONASS, Galileo USB-C (USB 3.1 Gen 2) others Remote control for Mac AI functions: translation, call summary, assistant IPX6, IPX8 and IPX9 certification It is not just the thickness, it is also an excellent hinge Oppo Find N5 comes with an external screen of 6.62 “that occupies 92% of the front. If they do not notify us, We could be comfortable using the folding device all the time. The screen is of good quality. A 120 Hz AMOLED panel and 2,450 Nits. A panel worthy of the high range and that easily enters through the eyes. Inside we have a panel of 8.12 inches with a 96%screen-screen ratio. It is slightly larger and brighter than that of its main competitor, the Magic V3, although in this sense there is not such an obvious advance. What truly and powerfully attracts attention is hinge. And the fold. Or rather your low visibility. Oppo premieres a titanium alloy hinge. It is a system that promises more resistance. Logically in first impressions it is difficult to determine if there are significant advances here, but what we can say is that it is about The most comfortable open hinge and the one that produces a less visible fold. Chapó in this aspect. In hand it feels solid and quite premium, with a well -finished aluminum edge. We have an action button and the finishes are excellent. Instead of betting on a leather and rubber finish, we have the classic glass topped in aluminum. A style more similar to standard high -end mobileswhich reinforces that normal mobile feeling and not a more original design but that highlights its folding condition. OPPO offers an IPX6/IPX8/IPX9 water resistance certified device, which can avoid splashes and water in its regular use. When comparing it with the iPhone 16 Plus, the great work of Oppo is clear. The only thing that stands out significantly is the camera modulebut as for the rest of the body it is wonderful. The device performance is excellent, as expected with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite. The camera is also defended, although these tests better leave them for analysis. Oppo adds artificial intelligence functions, which we can activate sliding from the right side. Among them we find summaries with what appears on the screen. A function that goes very well and Oppo plans to offer it soon without the need for Internet connection. What is a real Too bad it is that OPPO Find N5 will not get to Spain at the moment. Each manufacturer has its particular strategies and times, but Oppo could have given a real blow to the field of folding if you bring its folding during this first half of the year. A folding whose first impressions are unbeatable and would be easily placed as the best folding in the market. The letters have already taught us. Now it depends on the rest of the manufacturers, put up. Regarding the design, Oppo has put the bar very high. In Xataka | Best folding mobiles. Which to buy in Spain and recommended models

There is finally water in swamps

by

148 liters in the province of Castellón, 81 in Cáceres, 71.2 in Cádiz, 66.4 in Valencia or 63.4 in Segovia’s: it’s raining In Spain. It is raining a lot. AND, according to what the models saywill continue to do so in the next few days (and throughout the month). The authorities They have launched Several urgent alerts For the danger of floods, They have suspended classes And there is already at least A deceased in a Rambla from the Murcian city of Lorca. It is nothing unusual. On the contrary, it is something that It is repeated every time it rains more than normal. The difference is that, between chaos and tragedy, the rains have already left us good news. And the best example is Malaga. The Malaga reservoirs are at 30.4% of their capacity, about 14.52 cubic hectometers than a week ago. The data sound good, they are positive: but if we put them in context, they are fantastic. As José Antonio Sau explaineda year ago “the seven swamp of Malaga had reserves of 97.97 cubic hectometers.” They are now in 185.84. That is, the water reservoir in the Andalusian province has suffered an increase of 89.69% compared to last year. And, to all this, we have to take into account that much of the water that has fallen has not yet reached the swamps. It is true that The vineyuela (The key reservoir for agricultural production in the province) is 21.95%, but last year was 7.88% of its capacity. Not everywhere … Something similar could be said from Barcelona: Sau’s swamp has also folded reservoir water (from 2.42 to 5.45%), but the situation there is much more complex because The Ter-llobregat system is exhausted. The change is positive, but everything seems to indicate that except miracle of last minute Catalonia will enter alert for drought in the coming weeks. Almería, for example, is more or less in the same situation as last year (8.48 vs 8.93%) and, unlike Murcia, is not receiving much water in recent days. … But March can be key. As we said yesterdaya powerful blocking anticyclone between Greenland, the Baltic Peninsula and the British Isles is being formed. That is, just where Atlantic storms loaded with water usually pass. This is the great meteorological news of the moment because, if everything is going well, it will make Atlantic storms go down and expose us to “wet and soft flows.” The Latest models outputs They reinforce that idea. We face spring and summer with many uncertainties (climatic uncertainties that add to all others). Nevertheless, March promises to bring peace of mind. For now (although unevenly) it is fulfilling.

‘Dune 2’ is designed to sweep in the Oscars. That finally is not going to do it is the best radiography of the current Hollywood

by

Josh Brolin already caught attention to the subject When the 2025 Oscar nominations: Denis Villeneuve, director of the mastodontic ‘Dune: Part 2‘He had not been nominated. Brolin knew what he was talking about: it is no longer just a displacement to the Canadian director. It is also the sign that the Oscars are ninging the Warner Blockbuster, because without the support of that nomination, it would be very strange that the film takes the Oscar to the best film or goes beyond a few technical recognition. A good Oscar’s pan … minors. ‘Dune: Part 2 ‘can be taken, however, a good amount of Oscar important technicians. It is nominated in five categories: best sound, better photography, best production design, better visual effects and, of course, best film. Denis Villeneuve is not only missing in the category of Director, but also, as a coguionist with Jon Spaihts, in a better adapted script, where the first installment of the saga of adaptations of Frank Herbert’s novels was nominated. One year for small movies. We have already commented so much about ‘Anora‘like’The Brutalist‘That the 2025 Oscar seem among their favorites to the smallest films:’ Anora ‘is pure indie cinema, and’ The Brutalist ‘has been shot with an absolutely tiny budget for what is stilate in Hollywood. They are not the only ones: ‘Nickel Boys’,’The substance‘And’ I’m still here ‘have very limited budgets, and even medium movies like’A complete stranger‘ either ‘Conclave‘They seem to make a certain visual modesty and approach their flag. It is stipulated indie. It is not an isolated phenomenon this year, you just have to check most of the winning films of the last editions: ‘All at once everywhere‘(2022),’Coda‘(2021),’Nomadland‘(2020) or’Parasites‘(2019). All of open indie style or, at least, regardless of mainstream Hollywood. The only exception took place last year, with ‘Oppenheimer‘, which we can consider a clearly isolated case when coming from Christopher Nolan, one of the few blockbusters that are considered to have an author’s stamp. This year, only ‘Dune: part two’ and ‘Wicked’ follow their wake. New times for the blockbuster. If we go back to previous years we will see how more Hollywood blockbusters (large distributions, large budgets) were combined with more independent cut films, but there were no such clear gusts. The year hinged in that sense was 2003 with ‘The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King‘, with his eleven nominations … that he won entirely. An absolute hatching of the blockbuster model that left a certain sense of satiety. Behind her, as we say, films such as’ Million Dollar Baby ‘(2004),’ Slumdog Millionaire ‘(2008),’ The artist ‘(2011), ’12 years of slavery’ (2013) or ‘Moonlight’ (2016) have occurred. The Syndrome ‘The Return of the King’. Our partner Pedro Gallego points, very reasonablythat the possible none of ‘Dune 2’ is due to the fact that the syndrome of the aforementioned ‘The Return of the King’ has suffered and its total sweep in the Oscars of 2003. It may, why it is ‘Dune: Part 2’, the academy prefers to wait for Villeneuve to put an end point to his trilogy (let’s not forget that this second part ends in a ‘continues’ will continue to give him the recognition. If this year ‘Dune’ sweeps, what do we leave for the third? Not everything is Blockbusters. In Xataka we have spoken on numerous occasions how sequelae, franchises and blockbusters seem to have flooded the box office, without leaving space for other options. The Oscars seem to be replicating that fganthasma at the box office, proposing alternatives, which undoubtedly receive a pushing of fame and income thanks to the advertising of the awards. Undoubtedly, an interesting dilemma, just that Marvel seems to have definitely abandoned his absolute prereminence at the box office and that films like ‘The Brutalist or’ The substance ‘manages to raise much more than expected. Normality and diversity has returned to cartekleras, and the Oscars are the reflection.

Indonesia will finally raise the veto of the iPhone 16, according to Bloomberg. The key is in a millionaire investment of Apple

by

At the end of last year, Indonesia prohibited sale of the iPhone 16. The surprising measure did not go unnoticed, but what really caught attention was the reason: Apple had not invested enough in the country. Google either had better luck. Shortly after, The authorities vetoed the marketing of the Pixelalthough they never officially sold in Indonesia. Now, everything indicates that the situation is about to take a turn. The return of the sale of the iPhone seems imminent Bloomberg points out that Apple and the Indonesian Ministry of Industry They reached an agreement to lift the smartphone prohibition. The sources indicate that the movement should be formalized this week. The Indonesian government plans to hold a press conference to publicize the details of the commitment. However, the American media points out that Apple’s investment has played a leading role. The firm led by Tim Cook would have committed to invest no less than 1,000 million dollars in Indonesiaa figure ten times higher than the one previously destined for the creation of several Apple Developer Academy. And what will that money be invested? As explained, Apple will allocate it to the construction of an AirTags production plant in collaboration with Luxshare Precision Industry Co., an old Chinese partner of the Cupertino company. Another part of the investment will be directed to a New factory in Bandunga city southeast of Yakarta, which will focus on the production of other accessories. In addition, Apple will continue to finance its programming academies in the country. The prohibition of the iPhone 16 that is now about to disappear has been supported by a regulation that establishes that certain products must have a national component level certificate (TKDN) The TKDN is an index of the percentage of national components used in production. Apple and Google mobile devices They must reach 40% In the mentioned metric, but there are many ways to meet this requirement. Companies that do not manufacture their products in Indonesia usually resort to agreements with local suppliers at some point in their supply chain. Other strategies, such as hiring local labor and investments, also contribute. And if you wonder why Apple is so determined to overcome this prohibition, the answer is simple: it is about The greatest economy of Southeast Asia and The fourth most populous nation in the world . That is, of a large market. Images | Trac vu | Apple In Xataka | Proudly American: Apple will invest more money than ever in the United States in full tariff threat

Thanks to this table we can finally understand how metals compatibility works

by

Materials science is an exciting discipline. It is likely that some people seem unattractive, and it is a respectable opinion, but objectively it is about A very important scientific branch. Its purpose is to study the structure, physicochemical properties and the behavior of the elements with the purpose of Design new materials which can be used in a very wide range of industries. The kevlar used in The bulletproof vests and the diaphragm of some speakers, among other applications; the carbon fiber used in the aeronautical, automobile and sports industries; high performance alloys used, for example, in nuclear reactors and The turbines of the aircraft; or the Carbon nanotubes which are already being used in some electronic devices support the relevance of the science of materials currently. Rufosity matters. And a lot One of the properties that usually study material engineers is roughness. This characteristic identifies often imperceptible irregularities that reside on the surface of a material. To measure them, it is usually necessary to carry out a microscopic analysis, but the really important thing is that this knowledge allows researchers to design and manufacture new components. And it is that roughness is an essential parameter that conditions the performance, durability and applications in which a new material can be used. In fact, there are research groups and companies that are dedicated in body and soul to characterize new materials and measure their roughness. Michigan Metrology It is one of these companies. It resides, as we can intuit, in the state of Michigan (USA), and expressly dedicates itself to measurement, analysis and inspection of roughness and wear of surfaces. To carry out their analysis, it resorts to very sophisticated teams that are capable of precisely identifying the irregularities present on the surface of the materials through a three -dimensional exploration. The table we publish on top of these lines has been prepared by the American mechanical engineer Ernest Rabinowicz, and is the Bible for Michigan Metrology and other companies that are dedicated to material engineering. In fact, it is the authentic protagonist of this article. And it is because it gives us a lot of information about the roughness and sliding compatibility of a good part of the metals that we can find in the periodic table of the chemical elements. Two pieces work better together if they are metallurgically incompatible, or, what is the same, if the metals involved are not dissoluble with each other As you can see, Rabinowicz occurred to be placed on the horizontal and vertical axes of the table the symbol that identifies each metal. And at the intersection between each pair of them appears A very illustrative symbol that identifies whether these two metals are incompatible, partially incompatible, partially compatible, compatible or identical taking as reference their roughness. In the field of metallurgy this information is very valuable. And it is because metals that are compatible from a metallurgical point of view tend to adhere to each other, a process that increases friction and wear. As we can intuit, knowing precisely the degree of compatibility between each couple of metals is fundamental in the design of the sliding interface between two metal pieces. In fact, two of these pieces work better together if they are metallurgically incompatible, or, what is the same, if the metals involved are not dissoluble with each other.

The EU has finally become independent of Russian gas. Now faces an equal uncertain dependence: the US LNG

by

In the last five years, the supply of liquefied natural gas in Europe depended mainly on Russian reservesrepresenting almost 40% of imports thanks to their competitive prices and an extensive network of gas pipelines. However, Europe has sought to reduce the dependence on Russian gas by the Ukraine War, facing an uncertain energy panorama. Also, still imports Russian LNG record amounts By boat and Hungary and Slovakia oppose restrictive measures. The reserves, which had reached historical levels before winter thanks to storage policies, are now beginning to descend. Given this situation, Europe has chosen to diversify its sources and increase LNG imports from other countries, being the United States one of the emerging suppliers. However, this transition will not be easy. Short. At the time he assumed, in less than 24 hours, Donald Trump signed an executive order with the different measures that Ipso facto was going to take. In addition, the issue of gas and tariffs to Europe comes before assumingbut now the president of the United States has launched a warning to the European Union demanding that more oil and liquefied natural gas be bought or, otherwise, will face the imposition of tariffs. This threat occurs in a context of commercial and energy tensions, where the US seeks to gain ground in the European market, which has historically depended on Russia’s energy imports. However, the EU does not have a centralized purchasing power that allows it to negotiate large -scale contracts, since it is individual companies that decide where to buy the gas. Evolution of European LNG imports in recent years The evolution of the gas supply. This graph represents the supply of LNG in Europe, which has experienced notable changes such as more than 15 years ago liquefied natural gas came in most countries such as Qatar and other producers. However, Russia’s agency was marking over time. However, the position of the United States as a supplier of Europe is from 2020, which is observed how it is consolidated. This was due, in large part, to the sanctions and commercial restrictions imposed on the Kremlin, which forced the EU has diversify its sources. In the last year, US imports have reached historical levels, even exceeding traditional suppliers. Europe’s position. Although Ursula von der Leyen, president of the European Commission, has shown its willingness to replace Russian gas with American LNG, the EU does not have the centralized purchase capacity on a large scale, so each member country negotiates it independently. For its part, Hungary and Slovakia, more aligned with the Kremlin For their energy treatment, they may not share these EU measures. However, Brussels aims to reduce the dependence of Russian fossil fuels for two years, but the high price of American LNG compared to Russian gas remains an important obstacle. In addition, the EU is struggling to protect its industries and reduce high energy prices, especially in countries such as Germany, which depend on gas for its industry. And Russia? Despite the Ukraine War and the sanctions imposed by the United States and the EU, Russia remains the largest gas supplier for the latter. The reason is because European companies continue to import large volumes of Russian LNG due to the lowest prices and the lack of short -term affordable alternatives. For its part, the Kremlin is looking for new markets for its energy and is approaching more to the Asian continent. Commercial relations. The production capacity of American LNG is increasing, and more natural gas plants are expected to enter into operation in the coming years. By 2026, the United States, Canada and Qatar may meet much of the European LNG demand, thus reducing the need for Russian gas. In addition, the EU seeks to reduce its natural gas consumption by 25% by 2030, modifying import and market patterns. However, prices will remain a considerable obstacle for total change to American LNG.

Google finally fixes the navigation gesture that was broken on older Pixels when updating them to Android 15

by

Google is already working in the next Pixel 10 and Pixel 11 as was learned yesterday from an internal source. Now one of the bugs that were generated has been marked as corrected when updating old Pixels to the latest version of Android, precisely 15. This version was deployed to the new Pixel 9 like the rest of the old Pixels such as the Pixel 8 series in the middle of October. These types of updates make you enjoy the news and those new experiences who spend their daily lives better with a smartphone, a tablet or a smart watch. But not everything always goes well and with this deployment, users of the old Pixels found themselves with a very strange bug: Swiping in from the right side of the phone did not activate the back gesture, so the interaction experience failed severely with that update to Android 15. Now the issue has been marked as corrected in Issue Trackerthe web space that Google uses to record all bugs or errors on its mobile devices and where you can review the correction of errors. Pixel 7 Pro Alvarez del Vayo The Free Android In fact, a Google employee has stated that the solution will be deployed in a new imminent update of Pixel phones so that normal use of the phone can be resumed. First reported on a Pixel 8 Pro so that it would soon be confirmed in other models by more users. The error affected the gestures that are applied from both sides, not only the right one as has now been confirmed as solved since Issue Tracker. And it is a quite serious problem for the mobile gesture experience, since it has prevented the ability to navigate backwards. The only solution that had been given until now was use the navigation bar with its three buttons, but you can almost say that it is an almost retro experience so that moving with gestures is tremendously simple. The update with the back gesture fix will be deployed in the month of Februaryright in the first weeks, so any of the old Pixels can be used again as it has always been done with an error that can generate a lot of frustration according to what it maintains GSMArena.
