We knew that coffee was good for health, but now we have discovered that it is a great ally of our microbiota

by

For years, coffee has not been too well considered. It depends on the place and the historical momentbut the culprit was not so much coffee itself … as caffeine. Although the evidence has managed to deny them, there is still A lot of myths about caffeine and its effects. But something that is also making clear research is beneficial effect of coffee on the body. It depends on the type of tan, of course. And one of the studies More recent links coffee with the intestinal microbiota. Directly, it favors the Bacteria growth in our body. And it is something that fulfills a vital function. The community Microbial of coffee. As we say, different studies on coffee allow you to have discovered your beneficial effects on cardiovascular diseasesthe diabetes or your Effect on the kidneys. In parallel, a relationship between coffee intake had been observed with the increase of certain intestinal bacteria, but the studies were on a small scale. Now, in Nature Microbiology he has Posted a study in which the genomic sequence of the intestinal microorganisms of more than 22,000 people in the United Kingdom and the United States was investigated. They have discovered that coffee drinkers had a different microbiota, with intestinal bacteria such as Lawsonibacter asaccharolyticus Eight times more abundant in the microbiota of coffee drinkers than in those who do not ingest this food. And what does that imply. It is not limited to that bacteria, since increases in irmicutes, actinobacteria, actinobacteria were also observed, PREVETELLA, Faecalibacterium and Bifidobacterium, All of them linked to beneficial metabolic effects, such as greater production of short chain fatty acids. What this means is that, thanks to its polyphenols and the soluble fiber it contains, coffee produces some Prebiotic effects that have a direct influence on beneficial bacterial growth. Before I said that it is something that fulfills a vital function, and in this case it is not an exaggeration. Intestinal microbiome bacteria They fulfill functions such as facilitating digestion, strengthening the immune system, regulating inflammation or protecting against pathogens and diseases. Very direct effects of this includes the production of vitamins and enzymes that are not obtained from food, facilitating Digestion of compounds as fiber and starch or Immune system regulation to distinguish between harmful and benign organisms. Four cups. Tim Spector is one of the experts who has supervised the article and, as my colleagues from Straight to the palatethe amount of optimal coffee would be between two and four cups a day. It all depends on the organism of each one and tolerance, but something interesting is that we not only obtain those benefits for the microbiota, but also a a large amount of fiber. Specifically, 1.5 grams of fiber for each cup of Filtrated coffee (There are many ways to prepare it, but filtered or infused is one of those that allows to extract more nutrients), and it is an amount similar to what would be obtained when eating a tangerine And the caffeine, what. And this of the tolerance that each one has to coffee is important because there is a “Limit” in the amount of caffeine That we can take up to be in the healthy segment, but it depends a lot on each person. The good thing is that these positive effects on microbiota have been reported both in the ‘normal’ coffee and in the decaffeinated. If milk is addedIn addition, the amount of polyphenols may slightly decrease, but the balance is still positive. What should not be added is sugarsince there we would be doing more bad than good. But if decaffeinated coffee is consumed, you should have an eye on how the process has been performed. Not all decaffeinated coffees are the same because there are several ways to eliminate (which is not completely eliminated, but is considerably reduced) caffeine, and Not all are equally healthy. To the point that some methods They are under the radar of organizations such as the US FDA. Image | Justin Bhalla In Xataka | There are more and more studies that link coffee with living more. And it is very easy to put the leg when preparing that ‘philosopher’ coffee

That’s why the Batching Batching is so good idea

by

If we really want to start eating better, psychologists have Something that can help us. Something that, in addition, can be summarized in one sentence: that “our food must be governed by a plan and not by our mood.” The problem, of course, is that plans sometimes extend checks that our day to day cannot pay. And it is not ours, like He explained to us The professor of the University of Zaragoza, Juan Ramón Barrada, “if you live surpassed by life, leave for tomorrow It is not procrastinating, “is surviving. Therefore, the batching cooking is so good idea. Batching Batching? Are we already with neologies and “modernuras”? Yes and no. Although it is true that it has now become fashionable with that name, the truth is that this strategy is a classic of foods around the world: cooking in a short time all the food of the week, optimizing resources and food preparations. That is, it is about organizing the menu in such a way that each preparation and each food serves to make several dishes. That ensures diversity and reduces preparation time. What advantages do you have? Many, really. How our DAP companions explainit is a strategy that brings us closer to homemade food, friends with the kitchen and allows us to get away from ultraprocessed, Fast food and elaborate food away from home; It allows us to reduce the times we dedicate to the kitchen and organize our food; And finally, it helps us save. But, above all, it can help us control what we eat. Because it is a powerful tool when “facilitating” the fulfillment of those plans we talked about before. After all, one of the main problems we have to carry them out is that, at the time of truth, we do not feel like it. Overwhelmed by day -to -day pressures, our body asks us ‘Conford Food’; Another neologism that comes to say “Leave yourself of zarandajas and give me something that is rich (with all saturated fats, sugars and carbohydrates that is possible)”. And the truth is that this feeling is not going to disappear, but if we have prepared the food – as the batch cooking advises us – to overcome temptation becomes easier. Not only easier, also safer. As Giuseppe Russolillo explainedpresident of the Spanish Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, “the population is not fully aware that the methods that use weight losing are extremes and can put their health at risk and that the recovery of the lost weight is frequent.” This also affects many attempts to eat better. And it is not necessary to be so aggressive. A balanced meal is a day won. Because “for what we can extract from current investigations, there are three tips that can be given to anyone: eat healthy, exercise and accept your body,” Barrada told us. Hence, obsess with weight is a mistake (quite serious, besides) and the best strategy is to introduce small habits in our day to day.

One day, someone thought that a mini with Rolls-Royce interior was a good idea. And what surprised the most were … his carpet

by

The BMW group is particular. For just over 25 years, Bavaria’s firm has been taking other companies under his arms. In 1998, Rolls-Royce became part of it and only three years later, in 2001, Mini did the same. In the mid -50s, the world closely followed the Egyptian nationalization of the Suez Canal. The decision derived, among other things, in a generalized rise in fuels that very hard to the automobile industry. Iconic models were born from that crisis. He Fiat 500 It was one of them. The British answer would arrive with the mini. Both cases shared many similarities: small cars that prioritized the interior space, very practical to move around and with very tight engines to position themselves as affordable and easy to maintain vehicles. Saving the technical conditions of those years, in Mini they managed to carry The engine in front and place it transverselya whole milestone that differentiated him from Fiat 500 himself but also from beetle, the other great supervants of the moment. In both cases, the engine was located in the rear. Almost instantaneously, the mini gained popularity for its extreme lightness and agility. So much so that in 1964 he managed more bizarrest preparations and foster the sports spirit of those light cars that are no longer left. Perhaps that is why it is not so surprised that with Rolls-Royce and Mini under the same umbrella, both companies joined to create a most special piece. Fit a rolls-royce in a four-meter car With the purchase of Mini by BMW, the brand was reborn but did it with very different hallmarks. He collected the retro aesthetics from his ancestors but he was reconverted to offer an urban coolan attractive car in the visual, of premium price but with a very distinctive driving dynamic. The success was immediate with the Company redefinition. The popularity of the first new Mini Cooper was immediate and attracted all eyes. The Cooper S or John Cooper Works versions would arrive. But far from the expected sports options, in 2011 Mini surprised with a most unexpected collaboration. With the Mini Inspired by GoodwoodRolls-Royce tried to fit all the company’s luxury in a car that at that time did not reach four meters .. a kind of miniaturization of the maximum luxury and the most select of the automobile industry that was framed within the Deportivo Mini Cooper S. The car reached the Spanish market with a price at the height of its interiors: 49,500 euros … in 2012. That is, today it would cost almost 65,000 euros if we apply the inflation corresponding to that period. Of course, one of the fortunate thousand who made one of these limited series sold the car last year for 31,000 pounds (35,740 euros) that, adding the corresponding taxes, cost more or less the same as the same as the same as the same as more than a decade. Inside, this particular mini had the classic leather upholstery in ‘Cornsilk Beige’ color typical of British luxury berlins and insertions in walnut wood. The roof was topped in Kashmir The sound system was signed by Harman/Kardon and added less common details in those years in small vehicles such as parking sensors or bi-xenon headlights. Even the browser and automatic change had to be asked as extras, increasing the price of the car by more than 3,000 euros. As a personal anecdote, a few days ago I shared a quick talk with Sergio Ríos (Autobild) and Héctor Ares (usual among our companions of Motorpasion). Both They have been able to drive at some time a rolls-royce And both made reference to a differential detail: the carpets. And is that in the test of Autobild For more than 10 years, its author also stood out from the mini inspired by Goodwood this aspect. In fact, In the article you could read the following: What caught my attention the most when I opened the door for the first time were … the carpets. Yes, you are going to laugh, it is not the element in which I usually look at a car, but those carried by this mini inspired by Goodwood are to take a picture and teach them: they are made of lamb skin, and they are so soft that you want to take off your shoes and drive barefoot. In addition, they are very warm; Of course, they have panic, dust and, of course, the mud Yeah, There were reasons to buy a mini inspired by Goodwood and pay for a four -meter -long car and 184 hp gasoline engine almost the same as for a Porsche Boxster In those years. The first, you had enough money. The second, that you will fall in love with some carpets that were like staying to live in them.

There is a ‘good’ fat that hides a secret to aging better and being fit. It only remains to get the pill

by

Aging is inevitable, and with it it comes A progressive loss of physical capacity that causes it to be more difficult to walk or stand up. This makes Stay fit It becomes much more difficult and therefore the resistance begins to decline. But … what if this decline can be slow down? This is precisely what science is focused on. Fat as anti -aging. Researchers at the Rigers New Jersey Medical School They have discovered That a special type of adipose tissue, known as brown fat, could be the key not only for healthier old age, but also Improve physical performance. A study of great relevance, since it can open a new route in the anti -aging field. The team that has led this research has been able to identify an unusually powerful form of this ‘good fat’ in mice, which not only Increased his life expectancybut improved its exercise capacity by an impressive 30%. Now, the race has begun to be able to replicate these same effects in humans through a drug. Not all fat is bad. When we think of fat, the White fat or white adipose tissue. Its main function is to store excess calories in the form of triglycerides and is the one that can bother us aesthetically throughout our lives. Although in essence it is a large energy deposit. But, nevertheless, there is another type of fat that is much more interesting: brown fat or Brown adipose tissue. Unlike white, brown fat is specialized in burning calories to generate heat in a process called thermogenesis. This is possible thanks to the fact that their cells are full of mitochondria, which are the organelles that act as cellular power plants and that give it its characteristic brown color. In our life where we have more fatty fat in our body is when we are babies, since here it is crucial for Keep body temperature. But when we grow, the brown fat is lost until some cracks are around the neck and shoulders. But here the white fat is the one that dominates our body completely. One step further. Knowledge about brown fat already has a long journey in scientific literature. But it is now when this study goes further to point that it is linked to having a healthier longevity and with a much more appropriate physical exercise. How they knew it. To get to this conclusion, the researchers worked with a genetically modified mouse model to lack a protein called RGS14. The mice without this protein lived approximately 20% than their normal partners, and curiously the females lived more than the males in a pattern similar to that followed by humans. Even at the advanced ages, these mice avoided the typical signs of aging such as body atrophy, hair loss or the graying of the fur. But it does not stay here, since when submitting them to physical tests, the modified mice showed a 30% higher performance, both in distance traveled and in resistance. And all this because mice without RGS14 developed a dense and powerful brown fat than who expressed the protein correctly. The definitive test. To confirm that it was brown fat, and not another effect of genetic modification, scientists conducted a crucial experiment: transplanting the brown ‘supergras’ of mice without RGS14 to normal and healthy mice. The results were overwhelming. The mice that received this transplant improved their ability to exercise in just three days. On the other hand, when brown fat was transplanted from a normal mouse to another, an improvement was also observed, but much more and with eight weeks ahead to manifest its effects. Something that showed that the fat of the genetically modified mice was exceptionally powerful. Because? The mechanism seems to reside in an improvement in blood circulation. The indications suggest that brown fat promotes the creation of new blood cases in the muscles that improves the flow of blood and oxygen during exercise. The goal. Research suggests that this brown fat not only improves physical performance, but also protects against a series of ailments associated with age, such as obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular disorders and even cancer and Alzheimer’s. Vatner’s team is already working with collaborators to develop a drug that imitates the effects of this powerful brown fat, hoping to have a compound ready to be tested in approximately one year. But the idea is not only to increase life expectancy, but “healthy life expectancy.” That is, even if you live longer, these ‘extra’ years enjoy good physical and mental health. While we expect that future pill, there are techniques such as deliberate exposure to cold (the famous ice baths) that can naturally increase our brown fat levels. However, as Vatner points out, most people would prefer to take a pill to take an ice cream bath. Images | Tatiana Zanon In Xataka | Our brain has its own backup.

A future where we all wear smart glasses sounds good, until they are taken by the person who is going to shave the crotch

by

You meet in a beauty salon to make Brazilian hair removal and receive a very kind girl. Everything is going well until, in the middle of the work, you realize that it wears a goal, smart glasses capable of recording video. It is what happened to an influencer and his experience opens a new debate about privacy. What happened. The protagonist is Aniesta Navarro, a New York influencer who went to a beauty hall to be made by Brazilian hair removal (for whom he does not know, it consists of the elimination of the hair from the pubic area). Navarro told his experience in Tiktok and The video It already has more than seven million visualizations. In him he tells that the girl who attended her wore target glasses. When asked, the girl assured her that she used them as her graduated glasses and that at that time they were not loaded. The answer. The finish lines have a LED that lights up when they record and was off, but Navarro could not stop thinking if I would be recording, making the experience very uncomfortable. Days later he published Another video In Tiktok where he told that he had sent an email to the company and answered him with a generic message that did not give him too much confidence. As the story went viral, in response to the Washington Posta company spokeswoman insisted that the glasses were turned off. In addition, another Meta spokesman confirmed that manipulating the recording LED goes against service standards. Glasses for all. Mark Zuckerberg says that by 2030 the smartphone will have passed to the background because We will do almost everything through glasses. Although for now it is an emerging product may be right: the market is growing very fast and The success of the Ray-Ban Meta It is promising. What he does not say is what will mean from the point of view of privacy and if we are prepared as a society so that anyone who crosses wearing a camera in the eyes. Cameras everywhere. There are already, but we talk about glasses with a tiny camera that goes unnoticed. Yes, there is a LED that turns on when you record and cannot be deactivated, but there are already those who have found a way to hide it. Even if the LED works, many people do not realize that they are being recorded, as counted This journalist in The Times. It probably has to do with the fact that they are still a new product and is not normalized, but there are those who find it Intrusive and even sinister. More incidents. The Brazilian hair removal has not been the only incident with smart glasses. They count on Futurism That last year an exotic dancer warned about customers who used the Ray-Ban Meta to record the shows. A goalkeeper of a similar club published This video in which he denied the entrance to another client who also carried them. We don’t have to go so far: a few months ago They arrested a man in Barcelona for recording women without their consent using a goal.

Domotizing with sensors seemed good idea. After several days of testing, Ana has discovered what almost no one tells

by

What can go wrong when you try to domote the kitchen and bathroom … even little by little? Well, many things, as you will discover In this new installment of ‘Domotize or die in the attempt’. Ana has proposed to move forward with her connected house, but what seemed a more or less simple installation of sensors It ends up becoming a succession of failed tests, network errors, double -sided tape and various frustrations. In this episode, the goal is clear: protect the water leak house and automate bath lighting, but the process will not be precisely fluid. Nor short. Not simple. Before entering flour, the first logistic obstacle had to be overcome: shipping. One of the packages with the essential sensors had been lost, which kept the entire process in pause. “It seemed that today’s video was not going to arrive, but finally the package appeared,” says Ana, resigned but relieved. With everything already at home, the installation starts: water sensors at key points such as sink or dishwasher, and a first attempt to leave the presence detection system ready in the bathroom ready. What follows, of course, is not a manual installation. Tape, tests and patience: Home automation is taking pace The first sensors to settle were those of water leaks, and the kitchen was the test field. Ana located the three most critical points: sink, dishwasher and washing machine. He prepared to make tests in real conditions. The result was a constant strip and loosen between theory and practice. “It has taken a little more than I expected”, Says after seeing how the sensor does not react instantly to contact with water. From there, homemade adjustments begin. Place the device as centered as possible, trust that it does not move with the passage of the aspirating robot and wait for the time, the time comes, it really works. Everything pointed out that the Valve Controller would be the perfect brooch: a system that, when detecting a leak, would automatically close the passage key. It made sense, it was well thought out and seemed to fit the logic of the rest of the sensors. But when trying to install it, the thing was twisted. Ana discovers that, despite having the pipes in sight, there is not enough space to place the device. “My joy in a well,” summarizes, with a mixture of rage and resignation. The concept was ideal, the impossible execution. It will touch it back. After the reverse with the valve controller, Ana focuses on the other great objective of the episode: install a LED strip behind the bathroom mirror and accompany it with a presence sensor that activates the light automatically at night. It sounds simple, but only in theory. You have to look for the exact placemake sure that you do not activate with cats, find free plugs, and deal with an app that does not want to collaborate. “Ok, great. It’s a bit slow, but it works,” he says when, finally, he gets everything to react … although not quite as he expected. From there, it is time to test, move the sensor, adjust settings and fight with home automation. Will you get it ready? That is another story. After so much effort, Ana manages to launch her night lighting routine in the bathroom. The sensor detects the movement and lights the LED strip … although not always with the desired speed or precision. Sometimes it takes, sometimes it is activated for no reason. “It works, I would tell you that between 85 and 90 % well,” he acknowledges. It is not perfect, but functional enough to keep it installed. Will it end by polishing the failures? Is it enough when they return from the trip? In the video we see how everything has evolved. With part of the system already underway, Ana begins to think about what is coming: a trip, plants, cats … and the terrace, which stays as a pending task for the next chapter. In the next episode we will see how the house prepares for be outwith automatic irrigation system. At the moment, there is something that is still unresolved: the happy water key controller. “I thank you infinite to leave me a comment to see if I can solve it,” he says, leaving the door open to someone having the answer she has not found. And yes, if you want to see how all this ends, The full video awaits you on the Xataka YouTube channel.

If your intuition tells you that “more intense color are richer,” science has good news for you

Cardiovascular diseases follow being the main cause of death in the worldbut this scourge can begin to control thanks to the most colorful foods of the supermarket. A new and thorough review study systematic published in Nutrients has put the focus on carotenoidsthe Natural pigments that give their vibrant color to fruits and vegetables such as tomatoes, carrots or spinach. What are exactly carotenoids. Carotenoids are a group of more than 600 compounds that plants, algae and some bacteria produce naturally. They are responsible for the red, orange and yellow tones of many foods. Among the best known we can highlight the lycopene that is very present the tomatoes, the beta-carotene that is in carrots (and can get to give us an orange color on the skin) and the Lutein o Zeaxantine that are in green foods. Components of great importance for humans. Humans cannot produce these carotenoids, as with some vitaminsso we depend on the diet to obtain them. But his fame is not free: they act as Powerful antioxidantsneutralizing the free radicals they produce Oxidative stress and ends up damaging the cells and the genetic material itself. In addition, the study highlights its anti -inflammatory properties or its ability to improve the cholesterol profile by reducing oxidation of ‘bad’ or LDL cholesterol. This is something very relevant, then The oxidation of LDL is the trigger to form the atheroma plates In blood vessels, which is a key risk factor for Atherosclerosis. That is, the hardening and obstruction of the main arteries of the organism that can finally cause a heart attack. Evidence on the table: real food vs. supplements. The researchers, led by a team from the European University of the Atlantic in Santander, analyzed 38 of the most relevant studies published in the last decade to answer a key question: does the carotenoid intake prevents cardiovascular diseases? But beyond this, they also wondered if The supplements that can be found work or a varied diet is better. Having them in blood is associated with a healthier heart. The observational studies of cohorts that followed large groups of people for years, are quite consistent: those who had higher concentrations of serum carotenoids presented, in general, a lower risk of cardiovascular disease. Specifically, there was an inverse correlation with hypertension, the rigidity of the arteries and several inflammation markers. This suggests that a usual consumption of rich foods in these compounds is a good cardiovascular health indicator. Do carotene supplements work? This is where the thing is complicated. The studies that gave the participants carotenoid capsules showed results that were often contradictory. On the one hand, when the lycopene was given in supplement, he recorded an improvement in the endothelial function of patients who already had cardiovascular disease, but not in healthy volunteers. In the case of lutein, a triglyceridesand with beta -carotene the significant effect was null. This is something that surprised the researchers, but even more they were amazed to see that by providing several carotenoids together the effect was more effective than with the use of an isolated carotene. This already gives us an important clue. Real food wins the game. The clearest verdict came from dietary intervention studies. When participants were provided with foods such as tomato or carrot juices, or they were indicated to increase the consumption of fruits and vegetables in the diet, the benefits were more notable and consistent than with the pills. Interventions with tomato juice in lycopene managed to reduce key inflammatory molecules in atherosclerosis, while increasing the consumption of fruits and vegetables improved antioxidant capacity of “good” or HDL cholesterol. In this way, scientific evidence suggests that carotenoids have to be consumed in ‘groups’ to have a greater effect. The conclusion is clear: we must not replace the vegetable. On many occasions we try to supplement what we do not like with herbalist treatments. This is not ideal in this case, since the cardioprotective effect of the carotenoid seems to be amplified with other compounds that the original food such as fiber or vitamins presents. But it also adds to the need to complement it with other fruits and vegetables. And you don’t have to become obsessed with tomato and carrot in this regard. There are a lot of fruits and vegetables that can be included in the diet in a varied way so as not to end ‘hating it: peppers, pumpkin, broccoli or kale are some of the examples we find. Time is vital for your protection. As in medicine, the effects are not usually immediate when a change in the habits of a patient is made. In this case, long -term observational studies show the strongest results, that is, It is the sustained habit of consuming these foods What really protects the heart. A good diet is fundamental. This conclusion is no secret to us, since there are many studies that point to important benefits of following a good diet. For example, the Mediterranean diet It can help us stop the aging of the brain. Although it is also a reality that there are many diets such as potato diet either Miracle diets In general, they are a pathology to face it in the absence of nutrients or a subsequent rebound effect.

They say nothing good who pronounces them, according to three experts

by

The language used is important because it predisposes and Define mental states with those who face the challenges and tasks. As noted Psychopedagogo Boris Gindis, language is the psychological function that intervenes in all other capacities such as perception, memory, cognition and behavior oriented towards the objective. That is, using a certain type of language can motivate people to follow a goal or, on the contrary, contribute to discouragement effort To achieve it. Three experts in linguistics, psychology and business management They shared with CNBC The three phrases that must be avoided at all costs if they want to achieve objectives and overcome professional challenges. Is what there is There is no phrase that best defines resignation to the established that “is what there is.” Although this might seem a neutral coletilla to an inevitable situation, its use often transmits a lack of interest for improving or lack of commitment to overcome the challenges that arise. In one Interview at the Podcast Unconfuse me Bill Gates, John McWhorter, writer and professor at Columbia University, explained that this phrase usually used when it really means ‘I don’t care’. “The first time someone told me that had happened to me something unpleasant, and he said: ‘Well, it is. As McWhorter points out, using this phrase can be perceived as a passive and defeatist attitude of resignation to something that a finger is not going to move to change. That will generate a negative image in others. Instead, Psychologist Cortney S. Warren formed in Harvard recommends Use a phrase with more proactive and committed connotations. Something like “I have to see reality as it is, even if it is not what I want, to be able to move on.” This approach recognizes the difficulty of the situation, but does not give up before her and denotes disposition to overcome and advance. This is how we have always done it Can you imagine how the world would be today if textile entrepreneurs during the industrial revolution would have said that phrase to the steam machine inventors? Use it in the work environment, and even in the personal environment, denotes a total lack of flexibility and a null Ability to adapt to new scenarios. This immobilistic attitude It clashes frontally with a period of deep changes in labor matters such as those that are currently taking place with the new models of remote or hybrid work and the imminent Arrival of AI to the working world. Jason Buechel, CEO of Whole Foods owned by Amazon, unravels that the biggest alert signal in an employee is when he is reluctant to accept new ideas or methods, stubbornly clinging to old practices. “To stick to a way of doing things, or not considering other people’s views, can significantly hinder your growth and hinder your company,” assures The Executive. Andy Jassy, ​​CEO of Amazon, acknowledges being a staunch enemy of the immobilist attitude that suggests this phrase, and bets on never stagnate to continue growing professionally. Jassy says that keeping curiosity and being open to new opportunities is not only beneficial for personal growth, but is also essential to maintain relevance in a constantly evolving work environment. Not resigning to a certain way of doing things and embrapping change, people can Maintain commitment and satisfaction both professional and personal. I can never do it. Why bother? Face a task that is perceived as impossible is the first step to not do it and the main entrance door to procrastination. Assume that the task is impossible to entry not only reflects a defeatist attitude, but ABPROVES PERSONAL SKILLS AND CAPABILITIES assuming that They are limited and cannot improve. The professor in Psychology at Yale University, Emma Seppäläholds a position close to Andy Jassy or Bill Gates, betting on a constant evolution of skills and improve in new areas, regardless of age or experience. This change of perspective is not only much more constructive, but also contributes to improving motivation and resilience, helping people overcome challenges that seemed impossible.

This time, the classic shooter has found a new home in a completely unexpected place: a Power Bank. And the most impressive thing is that it works much better than one would expect. What happened. Aaron Christophyl, creator of content known for his experiments with hardware, He has achieved Execute Doom in an Anker Prime Charger charger in 250W. This device, which is normally used to load multiple devices at the same time, has a 2.26 -inch color screen. And of course, for what but the screen of a Power Bank was going to take advantage of to run Doom. Why it works so well. The secret is in the bowels of the charger. The Anker Prime Charger incorporates a SYNWIT SWM34S processor with ARM Cortex-M33 nucleus to 150 MHz, 8 MB of RAM and 16 MB of internal storage. These specifications, although modest for current standards, are more than enough to execute a game designed in the 90s, when domestic processors worked at 25-33 MHz. Peculiar controls. The most ingenious part of the project are controls. The charger only has a rotating wheel next to the screen, but Christophyl has managed to map all basic functions From the game: turn the wheel to advance and go back, press and turn to move laterally, and click to shoot and open doors. Although it is certainly not the most comfortable method to play Doom, the truth is that it takes advantage of the wheel that incorporates the charger. No hardware modifications. The most remarkable thing is that this implementation does not require any physical modification of the device. Christophyl only used the purification port to load the game software, while the operation of the charger continues as is. In this way, you can continue loading any other device while adding the possibility of playing Doom. More and more crazy ideas. This case is added to the long list of unusual devices in which Doom has been executed over the years. From calculators and pregnancy tests until Specifies and Word documentsthe popular novelty shooter has become the final test bench for years to demonstrate the capabilities of any hardware with a processor. And what remains. Cover image | Aaron Christophyl In Xataka | The AI ​​entered video games as an experiment. Today more than 80% of developers no longer know how to produce without it
