In full desert, Saudi Arabia is preparing its next great energy bet with the help of a partner: China

by

Saudi Arabia is facing a fiscal deficit Due to the expensive investments in projects such as The Line, which are part of their 2030 vision to diversify its economy. However, one part compensates for another, and that is that the Saudi country is focused in covering everything with solar panelsbut it has not taken into account until now where it could store energy. Short. Saudi Arabia has officially connected the largest energy storage system (Bess) in the world in Bisha, province of ‘Asir. The project has achieved a milestone in the country’s strategy due to a 500 MW/2000 MWh battery system. The operating company is Saudi Electric Company and uses advanced technology supplied by ByD. A larger initiative. The project, called Bisha Bess, is part of a broader initiative of the Arab country to further strengthen your renewable energy infrastructure. The nation is looking for more than half of its energy to come from renewable energiesso you have seen in storage the necessary component for this transition. Saudi Arabia has found that the batteries provide flexibility to the network and allows the integration of intermittent energy sources such as solar and wind. Apart from being part of the National Vision 2030 Plan, Bisha Bess is part of different large -scale storage initiatives. In an ongoing tender, the list of 33 prequalified bidders was published in early January and revealed that Masdar, Acwa Power, EDF and Totalenergies compete for 15 -year storage service contracts. 122 storage units. The Chinese company byd have prefabricated the 122 units, each integrates a 6MW energy conversion system (PCs) along with four iron and lithium phosphate batteries (LFP) batteries, each with a capacity of 5,365MWH. The design is modular to optimize space, improve system integration and minimize failure points. Desert construction. Although the batteries were supplied by the Chinese company byd, the project was carried out by a consortium formed by State Grid Corporation of China and Alfanar Projectswho were in charge of engineering, equipment acquisition and installation construction. The installation, located in an extremely challenging desert environment, has presented significant difficulties, such as high temperatures and frequent sand storms. To deal with these obstacles, the engineers perfected the installation techniques and optimized the start -up processes, ensuring the reliability of the long -term system. If you can’t with them, join them. This famous phrase can be attributed to the Saudi kingdom, who has thought about China. At the time he began to enter this race for the renewables, Arabia Saudi began to great. However, in the field of Megaestructures and renewablethe Asian giant has no rival. Although the Arab country is developing different projects in renewables, others that also integrate clean sources such as the city of Neom, is not having the expected success. However, there is a sector where you could compete with China: nuclear energy. The kingdom has the ability to Extract and process Uranium, which would position him as a key actor.

Luka Romero bets on a great year with Cruz Azul

by

The new player of the Cruz Azul Machine in Liga MX, Luka Romero returned to Aztec football after 20 years of absence and this has become quite a spectacle for the celestial fans who trust that he can be a piece of great value for the organization in its search for the title of champion of the Clausura 2025 tournament. This player’s entire football career has been developed mainly in Spain and Italy, which allows him to give a new perspective to the coaching staff and all his teammates; This fact has generated new doubt about his possible participation in the Mexican team that is currently under the command of Javier Aguirre. In an interview offered to Milenio-La Afificación, the player acknowledged that it is something he could think about as long as he is given the opportunity because it would be a favorable point to continue developing his career; Despite this, he maintained that it is something that he should discuss with his entire family to fully agree on wanting to accept for his well-being as a professional. “I am focused here on Cruz Azul, on doing the best possible, and then those are consequences that if you do well with your club they call you to the National Team, but obviously I have to think about it, talk about it with my family, think, and above all, be focused here and do it well,” he expressed. “I only think about being Luka Romero, doing what I know how to do, then enjoying the field and being me”added Luka Romero in his statements when referring to comparisons with the Argentine star Lionel Messi. “In all the clubs I was in I tried to bring out the best version of myself and try to earn a position and play, and here I also come with a lot of intention to play and feel important. I see a good future. I come here with great enthusiasm and above all that, to enjoy football, which is what I love the most,” he highlighted. Happy in Cruz Azul Finally, Luka Romero said that he feels quite happy to be part of the Cruz Azul Machine project to be able to lift a champion trophy, assuring that the organization has worked very well to be able to have the best possible conditions to achieve its objectives. . “I know quite a few teams from Mexico, obviously I couldn’t follow the League because they are quite a few hours apart, but I know that they are very important clubs and they are also known in Europe,” Luka commented. “Being here is an honor and I think I’m going to learn a lot,” he said. “I had quite a few offers in addition to Mexico and I also had several talks with Martín (Anselmi), and with (Iván), Alonso, they told me a little about the sports project and that was what convinced me. I noticed that they were eager for me to come and that made me very excited.; Now, to try to give all that desire that gave me to Cruz Azul,” said the footballer. “When they called me, I knew it was a well-structured team that is doing things very well. “I am very eager and very excited,” he concluded.

NVIDIA postpones Tesla’s great promise to the next decade

by

Autonomous driving. That eternal promise that is supposedly worth billions of euros, that we are always brushing with our fingers and that, in the end, never seems to arrive. The last to express their doubts have been those responsible for NVIDIA. “It’s super difficult”. The words are from Ali Kani, head of NVIDIA’s automotive division, who spoke with the magazine Coach about the future of autonomous driving. “It’s something typical of the next decade. We are not close. It is super difficult,” Kani assured journalists. The question referred to “truly autonomous cars” of which the head of NVIDIA. It is clear that “we will not see them in this decade.” Kani pointed out that cars currently do not have the power or the technology necessary to implement autonomous driving in the short term. A new way of working. Regarding how they work at NVIDIA, Kani assures that what they are doing “is very different” from what they did a year ago. He assures that they are “working on large language models such as GPT Chat with video.” And he emphasizes: “no one was doing this three years ago.” The problems. Basically, we do not have enough computing power to guarantee autonomous driving in the short term. “This type of model needs a lot more computing power, a lot more memory bandwidth. You need more LiDAR sensors and radars, redundant algorithms to make sure it’s safe. All of that has to work in parallel, which means more computing.” Furthermore, NVIDIA is clear that it is not just a matter of raw power. It’s also about giving a good image to potential customers and showing that you can travel safely. “The industry needs to go slow with this. If one company makes a mistake, the entire industry is set back a few years. So we have to act in the most responsible and don’t take any shortcuts. You can only do it when you have proven that it is really safe,” concludes Kani. A different approach. If we take what NVIDIA claims as a reference, the company works in a completely different way than Tesla tries to do. Technology makes it clear that radars and LiDAR sensors continue to be essential, components that Tesla wants to eliminate to trust everything to the use of cameras and recorded images. What Elon Musk’s company defends is that It has a huge fleet of vehicles already on the streets and that everything recorded by them allows their algorithms to learn faster than the competition. They hope, therefore, to spend less money and time to go beyond where Waymo or Cruise have gone. In 2027. The perspectives that come to us from NVIDIA are also very different from the promises that Elon Musk has made about his Tesla Cybercab. According to the owner of Tesla, his fully autonomous cars should be on the streets in 2027 despite his claims “Be unoptimistic with deadlines”. Then he said that next year he will be manufacturing his robotaxis. A promise that, as on so many other occasions, doesn’t seem too realistic. However, Musk is confident in his approach to Donald Trump to open the hand with the tests of autonomous vehicles and deploy their services more quickly. The eternal promise. The truth is, whether we’re talking about Tesla or any other company, the promise of the fully autonomous car always seems to be about to arrive. And it never seems to end. Waymo keeps going but Cruise has fallen by the wayside and has joined a long list of failed attempts. The truth is that Cruise has managed to launch the service in limited spaces but it is also true that the behavior of its cars it was easy to manipulate and who has lived in a eternal controversy of accidents and encounters with San Francisco emergency services. During all this time, Tesla has not managed to make its Autopilot a truly autonomous service and requires human attention. Ford’s BlueCruise also needs it, although in this case can be driven without hands on previously mapped roads. Mercedes does not require it but your system is limited to very specific circumstances. And a bag of millions. Despite everything, there are billions at stake with autonomous driving. Or that’s what they promise us. One of the most optimistic forecasts is that of Tasha Keeney, director of investment analysis at ARK, who quantified in one of his analyzes collected by The Wall Street Journal The value of a robotaxis service like the one Tesla is looking for could account for 60% of the company’s income in 2029 and raise its valuation to $800 billion.

three great news that no one has told you

by

The new Samsung Galaxy S25 are officers. And although we have already been able to try them and make our own first impressionsand even knowing their entire official list of specifications, the new Samsung terminals They hide very interesting secrets. Although there are still a few days left for them to reach the hands of their first buyers – they will go on sale on February 7 – little by little many details are becoming known that will surely delight users. They are one of those improvements that, although they are not announced with great fanfare, They are a pleasant surprise. In this sense, Samsung has greatly improved three key features in its new devices. These are not new features and big leaps in terms of specifications, but they are a pleasant surprise for day-to-day use. Three surprises that the new Samsung Galaxy S25 keep inside The The first of these improvements is found in the speakers.. The new Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra greatly improves the audio quality of its speakers compared to last year’s models, the Galaxy S24 Ultra. And the room for improvement was quite limited, since the sound of the Galaxy S24 Ultra was already outstanding. The new Ultra from 2025 sound even better, something that users who listen to music or watch videos on their mobile without headphones will appreciate. Furthermore, as pointed out in Sammobilethe S25 Ultra has a much wider speaker slot than the Galaxy S24 Ultra, suggesting that the 2025 model It could have a larger internal resonance chamber. You will be able to connect directly to the satellite with your Galaxy S25 Another interesting improvement, which in this case is applicable to the entire S25 range, is the satellite messaging system. The new Samsungs use the latest Qualcomm processor technology, which translates into being the first devices available to the general public that have Snapdragon Satellite. It is the Qualcomm system which allows the Galaxy S25, Galaxy S25+ and Galaxy S25 Ultra to connect directly to satellites in low Earth orbit (via narrowband NTN) to send and receive messages. Satellite communication, which although is available on Android as standard, requires specific hardware to work. That is, you need the terminals to have the capabilities to send and receive messages directly via satellite, and there are not many that include the necessary hardware. The new S25s do include it, which can be extremely useful in certain emergency situations when a cellular network is not available. More RAM in all models, including the basic ones Finally, another great improvement that will be reflected in the daily lives of users is the increase in memory in all Galaxy S25 models. Until now, the most standard (and smallest) models have been integrating a smaller amount of memory, but with the new terminals, Samsung has put an end to this practice. The three Galaxy S25 models have 12 GB of RAM as standard, unlike the 8 GB of RAM that the basic models had until now, regardless of whether you chose to buy the model with more storage. A substantial change that will translate into greater durability over time in terms of performance and use of heavy apps.

The “Finnish trick” to insulate your house from the cold by hand sounds great. Has major leaks

by

We all know those videos that started on Facebook and reached TikTok of fixes or repairs in less than five minutes. Some were useful, others logic itself told you that it couldn’t be like that. In this line and with the arrival of the cold, ingenuity sharpens, last winter the trick was simple: Use a plastic film that adheres to the window frame and is sealed with tape, creating an additional layer of insulation. However, they have now changed it to a Finnish trick that uses bubble wrap. Finnish trick. The trick consists of using bubble wrap as insulation for windows during winter. By spraying water on the glass and placing the smooth side of the plastic, the bubbles act as a layer of air that improves thermal insulation, reducing cold entry and heat loss. It’s a cheap and easy solution, although visibility will be somewhat blurry. You can keep it all winter if placed correctly. But is it safe or recommended? A video taken from social networks must be taken with a grain of salt, because we do not know if it really works. In this case, the trick can offer A temporary, economical and easy solution to improve the insulation in windows. In this Finnish trick, the efficiency lies in the layer of air trapped inside the bubbles, which acts as a thermal insulator. However, this method is not a long-term option and can become damaged over time if not installed properly. Along those same lines, the use of plastic and poor installation can cause humidity between the plastic and the window, favoring the appearance of mold. In addition, you have to seal the material with tape, which can cause air leaks. Although the technique may be useful as a quick or temporary solution, it should not be considered a replacement for more effective and permanent methods of isolation. Alternatives without reforms. Among the different options, the most popular is the use of thermal insulation window films, which offer a more resistant barrier to the cold without compromising visibility. These easy-to-install films cling to windows and create an insulating layer of air, but unlike bubble wrap, they are thinner and less prone to damage. In the same line is the sealing of windows and doors with weather stripping or special tapes that prevent air leaks. For their part, without the need to carry out a renovation, there are thermal curtains, which can be a simple solution to keep the heat inside the rooms, since they are designed to block the cold outside and maintain the inside temperature. Invest money. Now if your goal is to continue improving your home, then install double-glazed windows, because they offer superior insulation and reduce heat loss and the entry of outside noise. And if you are going to continue investing, another alternative is gas condensing boilers, which can reduce energy consumption while reducing CO2 emissions. The impact of plastic. While the hacks circulating on TikTok, like this one from Finland, may seem like clever and inexpensive solutions to dealing with the cold, it’s important to consider their environmental impact. Excessive use of plastic, even in small quantities, contributes to the growing waste problem. For this reason, although these ideas may be effective in the short term, we must be responsible when using it and think about the long-term environmental impact.
