Mexico has an objective between eyebrow and eyebrow: prop up and boost its economy. Within the 13 points of the ‘Mexico Plan’technology occupies an important point with the Strategy ‘Kutsari’ To develop semiconductors, but they also want to create Cheap electric cars For the Mexican user. The name of this project is’Olinia‘And, although it is not known how vehicles will be, we do know the price: between 90,000 and 150,000 pesos. The question here is where the competition is in the photo of the electric car in Mexico. Olinia. Mexico has focused in recent years on being a car assembly for the US market. BMW, Honda, Mazda, Kia, Nissan, the Stellantis, Toyota, Audi or Volkswagen group have their main plants in the region in Mexico, but with the tariff war, brands like Honda or Hyundai They announced that were going to strengthen their presence on American soil to the detriment of Mexican industry. With that panorama, the president of Mexico, Claudia Sheinbaum, announced Olinia. These are three small cars described as 100% made vehicles made in Mexico, destined for personal mobility, neighborhood mobility and transport of “last mile” goods and whose prices will be 90,000 pesos for the cheapest model and 150,000 for the truck/van. Clues. Nothing more of these cars is known, apart from the price they want to achieve and the possible design. However, there are already market alternatives that can give us a track of where things will go with the Olinia family. How our partners point out Xataka Mexicothere are a couple of aliexpress cars that are very similar to what could end up being two of the Olinia. Built by Chang Li, one is a two -door electric car with an autonomy of about 60 km for a price of 36,000 pesos without shipping. The other is larger, with more power and a price of 83,000 pesos without shipping. Another tiny car is the Kiwoalso for urban mobility with 40 km/h of maximum speed and 60 kilometers of autonomy by 99,999 pesos (this does include shipping costs). Competence. There are three examples of car that you must buy on a website and import on your own, but … what prices do we talk when we look at the electricity market already settled in Mexico? The panorama is very different. On the one hand, there is the Zacua MX2which is one of the first 100% Mexican electric cars designed for urban mobility, with an autonomy of 200 kilometers, a speed of 85 km/Hy a more apparent design than that of the other three previously commented. It has regenerative brakes with ABS and is two -seater. In his favor he plays that it is a national product manufactured in Puebla, but there is also an inconvenience: it is manufactured on request at a price of 599,900 pesos. We also have the Jac E10Xa compact with autonomy of up to 360 kilometers and four doors for 371,000 pesos. He Renault Kwid E-Tech part of the 315,000 pesos with 300 km of autonomy and the SEV E-WAN CROSS LITE It has 200 km of autonomy and part of the 299,300 pesos. Another contender is the Byd Mini Dolphin with autonomy of up to 300 km and from 415,800 pesos. The E-Wan Cross Plan. These four alternatives are compact (larger than the two -door olinia and it would be necessary to see how they are in front of the four -door), but although they do not go wrong, they play with an obvious disadvantage: they are not supported by the government. Because, between those 90,000 and 150,000 pesos of the Median Olinia, we would talk about a compact that should not have registration problems in the country by being driven by the government and that, although in benefits something below can be left below, will have a very sweet price. Olinia, in addition, is the catalyst for the extraction and prosecution of lithium on Mexican soil. Although Mexico has important lithium reserves, crucial component to produce batteries, It does not produce it On an industrial scale, and Olinia could be the necessary push for the country to become a relevant player in the field of something so crucial for the future of mobility as lithium. Consequences? This is playing with the glass ball, but seeing that Olinia seems a priority for the current government, who are already visiting factories from different states to see what is the candidate Ideal for the manufacture of vehicles, it seems clear that they will try to do everything possible to adhere to the price announced a few months ago. And, if happening, although the benefits of these vehicles are below those of the competition, in the end they would be appealing to the Mexican user twice: national car versus foreign and, above all, much cheaper. Now we just have to wait to see how Olinia is taking shape, since there are too many questions in the air.

After the blackout, the government defended the nuclear closure because “in Spain there is no uranium.” Reality is more complicated

by

The question of uranium has returned to the forefront after the president of the Government affirm that “in Spain there is no uranium and therefore we will have to import it.” Although Spain has large uranium deposits, reality is always more complicated than the usual black or white policy. The second European country with more uranium. Spain has between 25,000 and 30,000 tons of uranium, “the second most important reserves of the European Union,” According to the geologist Jesús Martínez Frías. Both the ‘Red Book’ of the Nuclear Energy Agency (NEA) as the National Geographic Institute (IGN) indicate the existence of resources with the possibility of exploitation in Spanish territory, mainly in the province of Salamanca. Why they stopped exploding. Spain had uranium mining, but The last mine closed in 2000 for the “exhaustion of economically exploitable mining resources”, according to the Ministry for Ecological Transition. The Spanish Nuclear Society (SNE) said that production costs had exceeded 30% market prices, which made its continuity unfeasible. Two decades later, the Law 7/2021 of climate change and energy transition Truncó any new attempt To exploit the deposits: “Due to their prejudices, their cost will not be granted new exploration, research or concessions of exploitation of radioactive minerals, nor will new authorization requests be admitted.” Environmental problems. The risk of radioactive water contamination is another elephant in the room. A study Posted by Environmental Pollution In 2018 he documented “much higher” uranium concentrations than background geochemical levels near old mines abandoned in Salamanca. The levels in the soil ranged between 207.2 and 542.4 mg kg⁻¹, when the natural background levels are 29.8 mg kg⁻¹ for granite and 71.2 mg kg⁻¹ for slate. The study proposed environmental restoration measures, such as reforestation, in areas close to old farms. They are not entirely unfeasible. The political landscape has changed with the European Union in search of energy sovereignty and resources. The economic landscape too. With The price of upward uraniumthe Berkeley Minera company has a revived interest in its Retortillo project. The request for exploitation of this deposit was delivered before Law 7/2021 applied, but the Nuclear Safety Council also issued An unfavorable environmental report for “the low reliability and the high uncertainties of security analysis in geotechnical and hydrogeological aspects.” Uranium you have to enrich it. Although there was a political change that leads to the reactivation of Retry, the uranium that is extracted from the earth (natural uranium) barely contains 0.7% of Uranium-235, the necessary physiognable isotope for most nuclear reactors. It would be necessary to enrich uranium, a process that consists in increasing the concentration of uranium-235 to 3-5% levels for light water reactors, which are the most common. Spain does not have its own high -scale enriched uranium, or facilities in which to enrich uranium at the industrial level for use as fuel in nuclear centrals. Can Spain enrich uranium? Spain had the capacity to produce uranium concentrates (in the form of yellow cakes or Yellowcakes), But obtaining enriched uranium is a subsequent, technologically more complex and expensive process, dominated by a few countries. Today, 60% He leaves Russia and China. ENUSA (the national uranium company) already had difficulty replacing Russian enriched uranium after Commercial vetoes for the Ukraine War. Enriching it would be a major challenge. A change of direction. In the new geopolitical context, the European Union is promoting the reactivation of mining to ensure a sovereign supply of key materials for energy transition and defense. Spain is rich in Uranium, but also in resources such as copper, which is the second EU producer. Besides, It has lithiumcobalt, Coltán and possible lower land deposits. Seven of the 47 new Strategic Mining Projects promoted by the EU They will be developed in Spainalthough most face the rejection of environmental organizations for its environmental impact, such as the lithium mine in Cáceres. The epicenter of the debate. Discussions on Spanish uranium are a broader reflex of tensions: the strategic autonomy of resources, the imperatives of the energy transition, environmental protection and social acceptance of mining activity. In the end, the epicenter of the debate is the high cost of building and maintaining traditional nuclear plants in the face of renewable energy sources, of which Spain is world power. Only last year, Spain produced 148,999 GWh of renewable energy, 56.8% of Mix. If the blackout was A notice that the electricity is not prepared To stabilize large renewable energy fluctuations, what touches is wondering what are the investments in storage, investors, interconnections and energy sources alternative to pollutants combined cycles of gas to avoid another blackout. Everything is said regarding the closure of nuclear plants or the extraction of uranium in Spain, but the solar industry will not go anywhere.

Nvidia is tensing her relationship with the US government. His presence in China is at risk

by

For Nvidia losing the Chinese market is not an option. During the last fiscal year, which expired on January 26, 2025, China represented approximately 13% of total income of the company led by Jensen Huang with a figure of some 17,000 million dollars. In practice, the country governed by Xi Jinping is the third best client of this company only behind the US and Taiwan. However, the sanctions to China that are deploying the US government threatens Nvidia’s survival in this Asian country. Currently this company cannot sell its chips to its Chinese clients to artificial intelligence (IA) more advanced. And in the middle of last April the US Department of Commerce imposed new export restrictions on China from The H20 GPU of Nvidia. The tuning of a trimmed review of the H20 GPU is underway The reception they have given to the GPU H20 The Chinese clients of Nvidia has been very good despite the fact that the capabilities of this chip are clearly lower than those of the other proposals for the this company. In fact, initially the Department of Commerce allowed its sale in China because this integrated circuit met the restrictions it had imposed. And despite its limitations its sales in China 50% quarter to quarter have grown Since he arrived in this market in mid -2024. The Nvidia Plan requires a cut review of the H20 GPU that satisfies the restrictions imposed by the US Department of Commerce Anyway, this time of bonanza is over. The restrictions of the Department of Commerce in practice prevent Nvidia Deliver the H20 GPU to its Chinese clientsbut this company does not give up. At the beginning of this week We explain to you that several reliable media had collected that His engineers are working on new GPU for AI expressly adapted to the country’s market led by Xi Jinping. Now we know something else. And is that according to Reuters The Nvidia Plan requires tuning a trimmed review of the H20 GPU that satisfies the restrictions imposed by the US Department of Commerce. The surprising thing is that this project seeks to cut a chip that is already a cut version of other NVIDIA GPUs. And it is not clear that with this limited benefits this trimmed GPU H20 is interesting for companies that have bought the original H20 chip from NVIDIA. Among them are no less than three giants from China: Alibaba, Tencent and Bytedance. However, Nvidia faces one more challenge: Huawei’s competition. And this last company is reinforcing its position in China to take advantage of the hole that Nvidia is leaving in the market because of US sanctions. During the second half of 2025 will manufacture the GPU Ascend 920 on a large scalewhich is clearly destined to occupy in the Chinese market the gaps that the GPU H20 is going to leave. And, in addition, it is about to start the chip test phase Ascend 910dwho seeks to overcome the performance of the chip NVIDIA H100.

Let us run out of mobile during the blackout was terrible. That will happen to the government is much more worrying

by

The mass blackout suffered by Spain and Portugal on April 28 left us without light, but also without being able to communicate with our mobile phones. One would think that government members would have some type of auxiliary system, but the truth is that there seems to be no for these types of situations. “Blind”. Government sources pointed out In the world that during The blackout of April 28 They were “blind” and that “mobile phones did not work, we could not communicate (…) not even among us in the complex and in the ministries.” Not only citizens. During those hours millions of citizens suffered A very irregular service in their mobile communications, and except for some exceptionsthe operators had huge problems to continue serving. That is already worrying, but even more than our rulers suffered those same problems and there is no emergency plan for this type of event. It didn’t work either The alert system, Es-Alert. Mesh b. The Government does not have an auxiliary communications system, and for years the effort was in another direction: to protect the communications of government members in the face of possible spying acts. To do this exists The call Mesh bthe Safe Strategic Communications Support System of the National Crisis Management System and the Government Presidency. The system is used not only in government fields, but also in high state institutions. The government protects from espionage. As they point out In the countrythe government decided in early 2025 to renew its encryption systems to shield communications after espionage scandal made with pegasus. The first phase will be a modernization of technical infrastructure, of which will order The Spanish company Epicom. Together with this renewal, an update of the communications encryption system will also be updated, which until now was carried out with Comsec (Indra) but that will now compete with Secret T (Telefónica). Both are National Development Technologies, a primary condition for these services. Sirdee is not (for the moment) for that. Spain has The Sirdee program (Integral System of Digital Emergency Radiocommunications of the State), which was launched in 2000 and that served more than 150,000 users in Spain. Among them are the National Police, the Civil Guard and even the presidency of the Government. There are specific contingency plans and operational continuity in ministries and strategic bodies, but government members suffered the same problems as citizens. As they point out In networks & Telecomthe Sirdee system, which was based on tetra technology of UHF radio, It is now complementing With broadband systems through EMBM technology, based on LTE/5G connectivity. Sirdee base nodes are usually equipped with backup batteries and diesel generators that allow these equipment and communications to be kept while these active auxiliary solutions can be maintained. High frequency networks. In 1988 the United States created its high frequency communications Shares program (HF, 3 to 30 MHz) with the aim of having a support for the first fixed lines, and later for mobile lines. This system, now under the Department of National Security (DHS), is composed of thousands of HF stations distributed throughout the country and belonging to different federal and state agencies. The system It was used during the 11-S attacks, but also during natural disasters such as Hurricane Katrina in the Gulf of Mexico in 2005. Satellite communication is another option. During the blackout Starlink turned out to be an exceptional alternative During the blackout, and that shows that satellite communications systems can be very useful in this type of events. Europe has been trying to launch its satellite Internet system Through the Iris2 systemwhich is expected to begin to be operational in 2030.

Who are the “private operators” to which the government accuses after the blackout

by

More than 48 hours have passed from the great blackout suffered by Spain, Portugal and southern France. Speculations during this time were swift, even He thought it was a cyber attack. However, the Spanish Electricity (Ree) grid has reported that the preliminary cause It was a “massive disconnection of electricity generation.” Now, beyond what failed technically, the real unknown is who must assume responsibilities. The appearance. In the press conference of April 29, the President of the Government made it clear that the Executive demands explanations and collaboration both to Red Electric (Redeia) and the “private operators.” According to the countrySánchez has summoned Moncloa to the main actors of the electrical system: the president of Ree, Beatriz Corredor, and representatives of Iberdrola, Endesa, Naturgy, acts energy and EDP. Redeia or Ree? At the press conference, the president mentioned Redeia, but many people have read in the Ree media, what is the difference? To begin with, Spanish Electricity (REE) is the company that is responsible for transporting electricity in high voltage, that is, to bring energy from the centrals generating to large substations. In other words, it would be like the “electric highway” of the country. From Three years agothis company is part of the Redeia group, which is the commercial name that the old Red Electrico Corporation adopted to encompass all its subsidiaries. To be easier to understand: Redeia is the business group and Ree is the subsidiary responsible for operating the electric transport network. Is Ree public? Although many people think that Ree is a public company, in reality the State just control 20% of its actions through the SEPI (State Society of Industrial Participations). The remaining 80% is in private hands, mainly in investment funds. According to eldiario.esthis is one of the reasons for the discomfort of the government: neither private electric nor ree have offered clear information after the blackout, and Ree has not facilitated the Executive access to technical data on what happened. “Private operators.” At a press conference, Sánchez repeatedly repeated the term “private operators”, causing a generalized doubt: Who did he mean exactly? As the difference between Ree and Redeia has clarified, it is clear that “Private operators” They are the big private electric companies: Iberdrola, Endesa, Naturgy, EDP and Act Energía. These companies have a very different role from that of Ree, since they are generated by electricity with their own plants (renewable or not). They also distribute electricity in medium and low voltage, that is, from substations to homes and industries. Here you have to make a small subsection, while Ree manages the high voltage network, these companies are responsible for the final stretch of the electricity trip. Finally, they are responsible for marketing energy through their own associated brands or companies: the light invoice. At this point it should be noted that not all marketers generate electricity, since some such as Holaluz or Podo only buy energy to sell it to the consumer. Easier to understand. Although Ree operates the “Spanish Electric Highway”, it is the private operators that handle the final stretch and much of the production. A slight suspicion. This whole situation is suggesting that the Executive has a suspicion that electrical companies have not been transparent enough, and have not actively collaborated during the first hours of the blackout, According to Cadena Ser. In his statements, President Sánchez has launched a technical criticism of nuclear power plants, wondering why they did not contribute to the recovery of the system, although before collapse they were contributing 10% to the electrical demand, According to Ree data. The president has affirmed that “the nuclear generation was no more resilient than other sources” and that it could even have slowed recovery. As has declared The Nuclear Safety Council (CSN), only two of the seven nuclear reactors were in operation that day; The other five had been stopped by business decision, not being considered competitive against renewables. Although the government has not said it directly, Criticism is evident: were the electricity prepared for an emergency? They haven’t taken to answer. According to RTVEIberdrola has assured that all its centrals worked properly and that REE indications followed during the blackout. On the other hand, as explained by the confidential, the companies promised to collaborate with the Government, although none has so far offered a complete explanation about what failed. And now? The Government has announced the creation of an internal investigation commission and has asked the European Commission for an independent audit, According to the newspaper. While trying to clarify what exactly failed, the blackout has not only tested the electrical system, but also the relations between the government, REE and private operators. The political, economic and legal battle as soon as it begins. Image | Pexels and La Moncloa Xataka | We have a term for such unlikely events that are difficult to imagine: black swans.

Renfe aspired to win 5,000 million euros with an AVE in the US copying Japan. His government has just kill him

by

Unite the cities of Dallas and Fortworth with Houston. That is the project with which Renfe hoped to continue growing in his international projects. The construction of a high -speed line for just 386 kilometers that allows these cities to be connected in just 90 minutes. The project allows to connect the two most important Texas cities with a train that travels to 386 km/h, according to You can read on the Renfe website. The Spanish company has presented this project as Texas Advisor Central Railroadoffering their experience in “the stages of development, design and construction and in the commercial operation (operations, maintenance, promotion and sale of tickets)”, according to the company’s own words. Renfe went up to the train of this project in 2018 and his involvement grew in 2021 when he signed the contract to become an infrastructure operator. With this new high -speed line I expected to win more than 5,000 million euros from here to 2042, when the contract expired. However, the United States government has withdrawn all funds. A dead point project “I am pleased to announce that Fra and Amtrak agree that the financing of this project is a waste of taxpayers’ funds and a distraction of Amtrak’s main mission to improve their existing deficient services,” The statement indicates Sent by the United States Department of Transport. The words are from Sean Duffy, Secretary of Transportation of the country that has withdrawn the 63.9 million dollars of subsidy that the Federal Railway Administration (FR) dedicated to the high -speed railway corridor of Amtrak Texas, previously known as the Texas Central Railroad project. In the published information, Duffy emphasizes that the project was born with an exclusively private spirit but that with delays and unforeseen costs increased significantly. So much that they estimate that you can go to the 40,000 million dollars “What makes the construction unrealistic and a risky company for the taxpayer”, in words expressed in the statement. The high speed project to join these two cities re -enters the dead and is a setback for the Spanish company. They explain in Five days that Renfe became part of it in 2018, first with a job of Advice and Line Design. In 2021, The contract was extended and made the Spanish company a future operator of the same with which he hoped to win 5.3 billion euros before 2042. However, the issues With this high -speed line they had been accumulating long before. The creation of this line has its origin in 2009 under the company Lone Star High-Speed ​​Rail LLC. Three years later, the company changed its name to Texas Central Railway. After verifying that the costs were fired, it was accepted that public capital supported the project. In spite of everything, the calendar has breached again and again. Environmental and security permissions should have been achieved in 2020 but delays have been added to which the colon of the coronavirus crisis and an expropriation of land that follows in the courts have been added. In 2017, the United States government with Donald Trump to the head included the project as “a national transport infrastructure priority,” they point out in Five daysand with Joe Biden in command of the country State funds from the Infrastructure Plan were allocated To keep the project alive. Now, in Trump’s second term, the Department of Transportation has canceled it. Until now, the plan went to implement a small -scale replica of the famous rail system of Japanese high speed tokaido shinkansenoperated by Central Japan Railway Company (JRC). Thus, the train It could reach 386 km/h peak speed and join Dallas and Fortworth (separated by about 50 kilometers) with Houston in 90 minutes. You wanted to establish a regular service with a train every 30 minutes.

Ryanair tense the rope more and threatens the government with removing more regional airport flights

by

This summer, Ryanair will offer 800,000 places less in Spanish airports. It is the announcement that the company made last January as a counterweight measure to what it considers abusive Aena. Now, the company threatens the government again with withdrawing journeys from its less busy lines. 800,000 seats. They announced him last January and the plan is already being carried out. Ryanair will offer 800,000 seats less this summer with the elimination of routes within Spain or the reduction of some of the existing ones. In its statement, the company indicated that the reason for this reduction in the offered journeys were “the excessive rates and the lack of effectiveness of the ‘incentive plans’ of the AENA monopolistic airport operator, which are completely ineffective to support the growth policy of the growth of regional airports.” The affected airports. In its statement, Ryanair specified which airports are those that would suffer a reduction in the offered routes and in which would completely close their operations: Jerez: Closing Valladolid: Closing Vigo: 61% less journeys Santiago 28% less journeys Zaragoza: 20% less journeys Asturias: 11% less journeys Santander: 5% less journeys Where it hurts: Ryanair knows the force it has In these airports and, therefore, it has been their pressure measure against the rates that Aena charges in them. In Valladolid, for example, the number of trips has been drastically reduced and the company’s departure is dismissal. Valladolid is just an example of the fall in international operations caused by Ryanair’s departure. In Santander, for example, his departure causes that only the Canary Islands, Madrid and Barcelona can fly. International trips will be injured in death. Jerez aspired to recover the number of travelers before the COVID-19 pandemic in 2025 but Ryanair’s march It should prevent this from happening. What is paid. Ryanair is aware of the fragility of these routes. Their volume is low, so, they say, they prefer to reorganize these planes and send them to routes that have been growing. In fact, if the company had been operating in these places, it is because there were many facilities by Aena (which Ryanair does not consider enough) and for the interest of regional governments. Airlines charged rates have a cost of 10.35 euros per passenger and are used to guarantee basic services such as cleaning or safety at airports. From Aena they insist that They are “of the lowest in Europe”although in 2021 a freezing was announced until 2026 but in 2024 they rose 4.9%. At the end of last year, CNMC frozen prices again by 2025. Yes, but bonus. However, in airports with less passenger volume, Aena’s fees have multiple bonuses in order to attract a greater number of airlines, to the point that the company can pay only two euros per passenger, according to the AENA last proposal. But, in addition, there is another reason why companies maintain flights in these airports: undercover subsidies. In eldiario.es They explain how regional governments deliver under advertising contracts. So, The Cantabria government delivered 18 million euros Ryanair last summer and Vigo disbursed 625,000 euros to guarantee the Vigo-London route For three years. “Terminal Decadence”. With these words, Eddie Wilson, CEO of the company, has described, which in his opinion is getting the government with regional airports. Words have expressed them in an interview to electionomista.es and in it he has threatened to get more flights from Spain if the course of policies in relation to rates is not changed. “There will be more cuts in the winter of 2025, and even more in the summer of 2026, because it makes no sense to continue investing in deficit operations. The rational decision is to move the traffic where the access costs are falling, not increasing, so we will continue to do so little by little. We have no plans to invest in regional airports because its price structure is broken,” says Wilson in his interview. Without specifying what these cuts would be, Wilson points out that “regional airports are underutilized by 70%, so something does not work. Or people do not want to go to the regions, or airlines do not want to put airplanes there.” More tensions. From Aena, he collects the digital medium, ignores Ryanair’s threats and emphasize that “when Ryanair recovers their presence, we will be institutionally receiving them with open arms”, in the words of its President Maurici Lucena. And emphasize that current policies “allow deficit airports to remain open in optimal conditions without appealing Spanish taxpayers.” At the same time, from Vigo they have sanctioned the company with 17,414 euros of fine for unilaterally reducing the flights scheduled last summer. The company has resorted to but Vigo’s City Council has rejected its writing. In addition, Vigo understands that he has breached the aforementioned contract of advertising when considering that the company has unilaterally broken it, so a sanctioning file for this reason is also underway. And it is not the last controversy that the company has starred in recent weeks. Although the decision aimed to apply this summer, Ryanair has announced that next winter will apply a zero paper policy with which he aspires to bind passengers To use only digital shipping cards and use your mobile phone.

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 US robots manufacturers have asked their government for help. If you do not get China, you will win this race

by

Tesla, Boston Dynamics, Agility Robotics and other US companies that are dedicated to the design and manufacture of robots are concerned about the competitiveness of Chinese robotics companies. So much, in fact, that According to SCMP several members of its directives They have gathered just a few hours ago With legislators in Washington, DC for teach them their products and ask them to define a national strategy that seeks to reinforce US robotics companies. For Chinese administration, smart robots are a national priority. In fact, this industry is closely linked to two other strategic sectors: the production of avant -garde semiconductors and the artificial intelligence (AI). In 2015 President Xi Jinping announced The “Made in China 2025” planan initiative that pursued to take the country to a world leadership position in thirteen strategic technologies. One of them are smart robots, and, although China does not yet lead, its competitiveness in this sector is growing. The US robotics companies ask for the creation of a federal office “Automation and robotics are going through a revolution that will allow the total automation of all strategic and manufacturing industries … “I think the US has a great opportunity to win. We are leaders in AI and we are building some of the best robots in the world.” This text is signed by Dylan Patel, Reyk Knuhttsen, Niko Ciminelli, Jeremie Eliahou Ontiveros, Joe Ryu and Robert Ghilduta, six experts from SEMIANALYSISan American consultant specialized in the analysis of semiconductor industries and AI. His forecast clarifies very well the context in which the meeting that I have mentioned a few lines above between US companies dedicated to robotics and US legislators has occurred a few hours ago. Jeff Cardenas, co -founder and general director of the emerging company specialized in the manufacture of Apptronik humanoid robots, has pointed out What is at stake. “The next race in the field of robotics will be promoted by AI and will be a competition open to anyone (…) I think that the US has a great opportunity to win. We are leaders in AI and we are building some of the best robots in the world, but We need a national strategy If we want to continue moving forward and staying at the forefront “, He has pointed Cardenas. According to American businessmen, a national strategy would help robotics to climb production and promote the adoption of robots as the physical manifestation of AI. We will see if this initiative finally thrives.

The Government approves the new Plan for DTT. One with more 4K channels and the nth “blackout”

by

The Council of Ministers He has approved today the new National Technical Technical Technical Plan. His great objective, As we mentionedis to generalize emissions with quality UHD/4K so that the quality of these emissions is as much as possible. But to that prominence of the emissions in 4K another news is added. 4K EMISSIONS BY FLAG. With this new plan, both the legal and the technic framework are established so that the DVB-T2 transmission technology is adopted at all levels (state, autonomous and local). That will allow all emissions to end up making the leap to the quality of ultra high definition (UHD, also known as 4K, although There are slight differences). The immediate future. The Royal Decree must be confirmed by Congress within a maximum period of one month. From there, both the Ministry of Digital Transformation and the Secretary of State for Telecommunications must initiate the frequency migration process and technical adjustments. That will allow the emission spectrum to adapt to that new situation. SIGHTING RESTIPIZATION. As indicated In The Objectivethey will have to migrate a daring channel, another of Mediaset and the Radio Blanca (DKISS) signal. That will force consumers to suffer their televisions or TDT adapters. It is not known when it will be necessary to carry out that subsidization of the channels, but it will probably occur in autumn of 2025. It is the nth “blackout of the DTT”, a necessary process to enjoy these new channels in UHD quality. The next to have UHD channels. This reorganization will allow both Atresmedia and Mediaset to have a frequency with UHD emissions each. It is for example what TVE already has, which has been using this channel in tests for a year, and also leaves the door open so that other chains can also request UHD emissions. A two -phase process. The first plan will work to “favor the implementation of technology”, so that the adaptation of the TV receptor park is promoted To be compatible with DVB-T2. From there, phase 2 will begin, with a global implementation of this technology and UHD quality in all TDT services. And new auction channel. All these changes will allow according to the announcement that a part of the capacity of one of the multiple digital is free for a new standard quality channel (SD) of state. The license of said channel will be held soon, so the offer of TDT channels will be expanded, explain those responsible for the Ministry for Digital Transformation and Public Function. Deadlines. If everything goes as expected, after the theoretical final approval of the Congress, the bidding sheets would be prepared in the same month of April, the contest to auction the new channel would be held in May. Before the summer, the award should have been completed, which would prepare us for that reseintonization when the 2025-2026 course begins. Who will that channel be? According to The Objective, the great candidate to keep that channel is a group of shareholders of the Prisa Group. They already have 20 million euros of budget for the first three years and the objective would be to get 3% of Share at the end of that period. Nothing is determined, and both Atresmedia and Mediaset or even Telefónica seem to be considering presenting their offers.
