helps you work safer from wherever you are

by

Although it’s not for everyone, I love being what is now known as a digital nomad. I’m not tied to an office or a desk: I can work wherever I want (as long as I have an Internet connection, of course). That freedom makes it easy for you, although I think it is worth taking certain precautions in terms of security. Nothing too complicated: specifically, use a VPN like this one from Surfshark. It’s worth it cost-benefit: It barely costs 1.99 euros per month if you take their two-year plan. Surfshark Starter Subscription – monthly The price could vary. We earn commission from these links More security on your devices for less than the cost of a coffee a month We have spoken to you many times about VPNsa type of tool that is very easy to use and that gives us an extra layer of security while browsing the Internet. There are free options, yes, but you have to be careful with the vast majority of them: They are not as safe as they promise. It makes no sense to use something to gain security and have it work against you. In that sense, it is worth investing in one of the best VPNs. Because? It is easy to understand with a practical example. You are traveling with your laptop and need to work for a while. You choose a cafe or coworking with its WiFi network, since it provides you with both a network and a place to sit. Nothing has to happen, but the reality is that you will not know the security of that network nor if there is someone trying to intercept data in it. That’s where it comes into play a VPN like Surfshark. With a click (because really, using a VPN is not much more mysterious), you will pass your traffic through an encrypted tunnel that will prevent anyone from intercepting your data. This way, you are protecting your data and, probably, also those of your clients. For this reason, it is worth investing a little in one that provides you with good service, that is secure, fast, and has plenty of servers to connect to. Let’s now talk about price. Surfshark is one of the VPNs that has the best quality-price ratio with the offer it has active right now: it costs 1.99 euros per month if we choose its 24-month plan. The simple calculation tells us that we will pay 53.73 euros for having 2 years of VPN, although in reality it is more: the company gives us three extra months, so in reality it will be 27 months in total. Does that seem little to you? By choosing the 1 or 2 year plan, you also get a whole year of Calm free, one of the best medication and relaxation apps out there. A very attractive price for a tool that, if you work everywhere, can be great for you. Some of the links in this article are affiliated and may provide a benefit to Xataka.

There is a graphic that explains the atrocity that has occurred in Grazalema. And it helps to understand why the people continue to be evicted.

by

And that graph is Nahel Belgherzea meteorologist who covers extreme events throughout the world and who, despite being used to them, has described what has occurred in the mountains of Cádiz as “hydrologically absurd.” “Hydrologically absurd”? It is. Grazalema, according to available datahas received more than 2,000 mm of rain in the last 20 days alone. That is, more than a normal year of rain and we are at the beginning of February. It is not surprising that Spanish reservoirs accumulate 43,341 hm³ of water; that is, 5,634 hm³ more than last week. As of today, Spain is at an astonishing 77.34% of its total capacity. And, in fact, today, many reservoirs continue to drain before the arrival of more water. What do you see in the graph? The graph in question is very simple: it is the accumulated rainfall for the Grazalema station. On the Additionally, in gray, you can see the cumulates from other years. And, as you can see, the curve is almost vertical: it has rained unspeakably in a few days. Compared to normal years (when the river grows in spring and winter), there is now a totally enormous water boom. Something unprecedented. And, precisely that, is what is forcing CISC technicians to continue reviewing the Grazalema aquifer. While the City Council insists that the return of the residents will take place when a safe return can be “guaranteed”, researchers from the Geological and Mining Institute of Spain (IGME) they are still on the ground. The aquifer, a geological structure 18 square kilometers in size, has been put under enormous pressure and authorities are focused on ruling out the slightest risk of collapse before the town’s inhabitants can return. The Junta de Andalucía, in fact, has been warning for days that it can go for a long time.

a sports nutritionist helps us understand what’s behind it

by

We eat every day and, even so, many doubts continue to arise around food. How many eggs are too manyif coconut oil deserves its fame, if sweeteners are a safe alternative or if training on an empty stomach really helps you burn more fat. These are questions that are repeated in conversations, social networks and headlines, often accompanied by forceful answers that do not always leave room for nuances. In the last episode of the first season of ‘Science and apart‘, which you can see on our YouTube channel and listen also on Spotify and iVooxÁngela Blanco chats with Maria Blancosports nutritionist, to calmly and contextually address some of the most widespread ideas about nutrition, habits and performance. Food, habits and many certainties that are not so certain The conversation starts with a question that forces us to go beyond personal tastes. If you had to choose a single food that is complete from a nutritional point of view, the specialist does not hesitate to point out a very specific one: “The egg is a very complete food. It has almost all the vitamins, it has minerals, it has a complete aminogram, that is, the protein we need, it has all the amino acids, and if it were missing something it would be vitamin C, it would lack fiber, it would lack other things… but well, the egg is the most complete food that I would choose.” After valuing the egg as food, the conversation enters one of the most repeated doubts. Is there really a clear limit to its consumption? María Blanco’s response is based on scientific evidence and avoids alarmism: “In scientific evidence, the daily egg, one to three eggs, is totally healthy. Because then we could restrict or avoid other types of foods that can harm us much more than the egg.” The episode also focuses on how certain reputations are built around what we eat. When asked by our colleague about foods with a reputation for being healthy, María Blanco points directly to one of the most popular in recent years: “Coconut oil. Because we have a very rich oil, which is olive oil. and that we have a very good origin because we are here and it is first-hand. And it (coconut oil) is like with a lot of propaganda.” The conversation also stops at one of the most used sugar substitutes. When talking about saccharin, María Blanco avoids simplifications and focuses attention on another less visible aspect: “There may be changes when using not only saccharin, but also sweeteners, in the microbiota that we have inside our intestine, and that can affect other areas.” To understand why this possible impact matters, the interviewee stops to explain what we are talking about when we mention the microbiota: “The microbiota or the microbiome is the set of bacteria that are living with us in our intestine.” And it adds a key nuance about internal balance: when these bacteria are no longer in a situation of eubiosis and dysbiosis occurs, effects that go beyond the digestive system can appear. The conversation ends by delving into some of the most discussed habits. From the appeal of ultra-processed foods to the debate on fasting and exercising on an empty stomach, María Blanco insists that the body does not work with instantaneous mechanisms: “There is no turn onthere is no switch, which is directly ‘well now I change this liver thing and start burning the fat from the adipocytes.’” We address all of this in more depth in ‘Science and Apart’, which closes its first season with a very interesting episode. A conversation designed to better understand how we eat and to put context to doubts that have been on the table for some time, with the help of our interviewee.

This app helps you fake your dream vacation

by

There are times when entering Instagram it means getting depressed; people living dream lives and us at home with our pajamas on. Don’t worry because there is a new app with which you can also join the wave of posturing, one that uses AI to generate fake images of a vacation that never existed. Who needs vacations when you can invent them? Endless summer. The app in question is called Endless Summer and was created by Laurent del Rey, one of the members of the Meta superintelligence teamjust as they say in TechCrunch. Its creator defines the app as “a simple photo booth application to generate fake snapshots of your vacation, for when you feel exhausted and need to manifest the quiet life you deserve.” Because of course, if you are exhausted from working, the best thing is to invent a life in which you don’t work and are happy, no one ever said. The price of posturing. The app is available free for iPhone and the first two photos are free, but creating a larger album of your fake vacation is going to cost you money. Specifically 3.99 euros for 30 images, 19.99 euros for 150 images and 39.99 euros for 300 images. The result is quite good and, except for the clothes, I recognize myself in the photos that Endless Summer has taken for me, but you can’t choose where you want the AI ​​to take you on vacation. In my case it has been to a fast food restaurant in Los Angeles and a cafeteria in Paris. I’ve been to Los Angeles and I haven’t left this burger joint. Nano Banana. It is the model that the app uses to generate images. He spices it up with his own prompts to achieve that analog look and different variations of the subject. Nano Banana can be used within Gemini, so you don’t need to spend anything to create your fake vacation photos, just give it a nice prompt. Superintelligence. As we said at the beginning, the creator of Endless Summer is part of the superintelligence team that Zuckerberg has been forming all summer at the stroke of a checkbook. The best AI talents gather at the Meta offices to obtain the AGI (or That’s what Zuckerberg wanted). The reality is that we do not know much about its progress, only that They recently launched Vibes, an app to explore AI videos that was eclipsed days later by Sora 2 by OpenAIand that one of its members has just released a very frivolous app without much sense… Images | Endless Summer In Xataka | Meta does not have the most advanced AI of all, but it does have something much more important: a business plan

The secret to continuing to accumulate LEGO sets is not to keep them. This rental service helps you with that.

by

Any adult LEGO fan have run into a similar problem. It is enormously enjoyable to set up the sets, but once finished comes the drama: where do we place it? The lack of space in modern homes or the impossibility of collecting several sets due to the space they occupy has led to the creation of a business especially aimed at those who do not want to give up building new sets, but do not need to keep them. Brick Borrow rents LEGO sets… which are then returned. How it works. Brick Borrow offers users the possibility of renting iconic sets by paying a fixed fee, always for an unlimited time. The amount of the fee determines what can be rented as follows: Mystery Set (9.99 euros): Brick Borrow chooses which set to send. Only one set per month. Builder (14.99 euros): The customer chooses what they want from the Brick Borrow catalogue. Unlimited loans every month. Only one set at a time. There is an annual version with a small discount. Master (24.99 euros): Like Buider, but with two sets per month. There are dozens of available setsin a catalog that is constantly growing, and as expected, we can find some of the most iconic: Mario Kart, the Shire from ‘The Lord of the Rings’, the Temple of the Golden Idol from Indiana Jones, Snow White’s cabin, the Creeper from ‘Minecraft’, the house from ‘Up!’, the ship from ‘Jaws’, a Concorde, Hogwarts, the Infinity Gauntlet, a bonsai, Sonic’s first level, Darth Vader’s helmet and a long etcetera… The wonderful world of AFOLs. This is a service clearly aimed at adult LEGO fans (or AFOL: Adult Fans Of LEGO), a typology that ranges from rigorous collectors to creative builders who see LEGO as a form of artistic expression, and who often value the building experience as much or more than the result. Rental introduces an interesting dimension for them: it democratizes access to complex or expensive sets that are sometimes inaccessible to a large part of the community. Aspects that a child does not appreciate, such as completism or playing with rare sets, are thus more accessible to this type of adult fans. To ride. It is more than proven therapeutic value of play in adults. But in addition, services like Brick Borrow (there are others, especially in the US: NetBricks, Brick Library, Blockria, Brickdrop, Lend A Brick, Chorley Bricks and many more) allow us to focus on an aspect of LEGO that sometimes goes unnoticed: building rather than enjoying the finished set. The activity of assembling blocks works as a mental escape and relaxation, similar to meditative or creative practices. The concentration on small pieces and the satisfaction of seeing a structure take shape generates a binding pleasure that transcends simple fun. The economics of access. There is a global trendlinked to a market increasingly dominated by subscriptions and temporary access to goods, for people looking for andxexperiences without the burden of storage or constant spending. Brick Borrow is not a unique experiment: we have seen it before on platforms that rent luxury clothing either technology. It implies a more responsible use of the product, promoting the so-called economy of access and reuse, repair, recycling and waste reduction, unlike the traditional linear model of “use and throw away”. The products and materials thus maintain their value for as long as possible, minimizing the environmental impact and promoting sustainable consumption.

HP Store helps us request and manage this help of 1,000 euros to renew PC

by

For self -employed and for companies, having a good computer system to work is key. Here we talk about everything, both hardware and software. This, as is obvious in any field, requires a budget and investment that is not always feasible. To do this a little easier there is digital kit And HP helps us to manage it in full. HP makes it easy for us to take advantage of the digital kit He Digital kitAs we say, he is there to lend a hand to the Spanish freelancers and SMEs of less than 3 employees. It is a program of subsidies of European funds that allows access to a new computer with an aid that goes up to 1,000 euros of amount. If the equipment exceeds this price, you would only have to pay the difference (in addition to VAT, which is paid in all cases). Accessing it is a relatively simple process, although perhaps Not so much manage it once the subsidy is granted. Right there enters HP Store. This store will advise and accompany the entire process and SMEs, from the request to the management of the digital kit. Besides, All this help is completely freeso it is a great option to facilitate the entire process. Logically, they will also put at our disposal a series of very varied equipment so that we can choose the one that best suits each one. It should be noted that the time is over to request the digital kit. This can be requested Until October 31 or until the funds are exhaustedsomething that is likely to happen before that date. For that reason, it is something that we should not leave for the last day. These are some of the HP Store equipment that can be requested with the digital kit The HP equipment catalog that is included in the digital kit is quite varied, but we just leave you a selection of some of the most prominent. HP elitebook 845 series (and series 865) g11 + ms office As the first option, we have this ELITERBO 845 g11 series. It is a laptop that stands out for being compact and quite easy to transport, ideal for work. Its processor is an AMD Ryzen 5 and, at the memory level, it meets well: it has 16 GB of RAM and an SSD of 512 GB. Its screen is 14 inches And it comes with Windows 11 Pro and the Microsoft Install Officeto. We also have the 865 series available, which in this case takes its screen to 16 inches. HP elitebook 640 g11 + ms office series We have another interesting option with this Book Elite 640 Series. It is a device similar to the previous one as far as memory is concerned, but makes a power leap thanks to its processor, that in this case it is an intel core ultra 5. It also has a 14 -inch screen, comes with Windows 11 Pro and also with the Microsoft Office. HP Proone 440 G9 + MS Office In the event that we are not interested in a laptop, you can perfectly fit us this All in One of HP. This, in addition to also having the operating system and the Microsoft Office, comes with a 23.8 -inch screen and an Intel Core i5 processor of 13. generation. Besides, It has 32 GB of RAM512 GB of SSD and includes both keyboard and HP mouse. HP ZBook Power G11 Ryzen 9 + MS Office As a last option, we have this ZBook Power G11a perfect option for the most demanding. In this case, the team comes with a Ryzen 9, 32 GB processor of RAM and a 1 TB SSD. The most remarkable thing is that, unlike teams above, Bring an independent graph that is from Nvidia (A RTX 2000). In this case, in addition to the digital kit, we would have to pay 885 euros plus VAT. Some of the links of this article are affiliated and can report a benefit to Xataka.

We know more than Mars than the seabed. An expert helps us to understand why it is still an enigma and what mysteries keep

by

What if we told you that there is such a tiny creature that it can hunt generating a bubble at more than 100 km/h, with a temperature similar to the sun? What if the orcs were smarter than we believe, even capable of having bait traps or hunting the very blue whale? The bottom of the sea It is still a place full of mysteries. We think we know him because we have seen documentaries or movies, but we have barely scratched his surface. Science and separate With a new episode On our YouTube channelalso available as Podcast on Spotify and Ivoox. A space in which we address scientific issues from a close and informative approach. In this second installment, our partner Ángela Blanco talks with Álex Avelloethologist and disseminator, to explore the amazing behavior of marine animals and everything we still do not know about the ocean. The pistolera gamba is one of those animals that costs to believe that they really exist. It is tiny, but its way of hunting has nothing subtle: it closes one of its tweezers to more than 100 km/Hy generates a bubble whose temperature, according to some studies, could approach the surface of the sun. “This always caught with tweezers too, a little above, a little below,” says Alex. The click is so brutal that it can be detected by the sound of a submarine. If the puppets can submerge up to 3,000 meters is not only because of their size or strength, but by a fascinating biological mechanism. “It has an organ that is called sperm … I always say it is like a bag full of wax, a wax -full supermarket,” explains Álex. When they prepare to descend, they let cold water into that organ, which solidifies the wax and turns their heads into a natural ballast. “In this way they go down to every tablet,” he adds. While they descend, they emit clicks that bounce with everything they find, as a kind of sound. There is an idea that is repeated throughout the episode: we barely know what is in the depths. “We know 4% of all oceans,” says Alex. And that leaves a lot of room for imagination. “Today, to me someone comes to make sure Megalodon is impossible for it to exist …”Every time he gives a talk in schools, children ask him about mythical sea creatures. And his answer is not a resounding. Because the truth is that we have not yet reached there. Are dolphins smarter marine animals? Álex clarifies: “Orca is within the family of dolphins … but the orca is superior to the dolphin. In fact, the orcs hunt dolphins, the dolphins do not hunt orcas.” What comes later in the conversation ends up clarifying why. And it is worth listening. Not all animals eat what they are in front of them. Some know how to wait. “Have that ability to say: ‘Ok, I have this that I can eat it right now, But I can use it as a tool… ”, Recalls Álex when talking about an orca who saw in a video as a child. What he did with that fish is difficult to forget. He tells him in detail in the episode. This is not all. In the second episode of science and apart there are more stories that surprise, that make them think and that remind us of everything we do not know yet. You can see or listen to it. Where do you prefer. Images | Xataka In Xataka | There are thousands of people hooked to streaming. One to 3,900 meters deep full of marine curiosities (and memes)

In 2021 a volcano spent three days in eruption without anyone finding out. Now it helps us ahead of the silent volcanoes

by

Knowing how to read the signals that a volcano gives before erupting can make a difference between a scare and a tragedy. Some volcanoes make it easy for experts who know how to read these clues but others erupt without prior notice. Or maybe just we couldn’t decipher your signs. At least until now. A new tool. A team of researchers He has devised A new mechanism to model the behavior of some volcanoes. This tool, its creators stand out, will serve to more effectively monitor the eruptions of some volcanoes reducing the risk associated with these natural phenomena often so violent. Some special usefulness in the case of “silent” volcanoes. “Despite great advances in monitoring, some volcanoes erupt with minimally detectable or even without them precursors, significantly increasing the risk of nearby populations,” pointed in a press release Yuyu Li, co -author of the study. As explained by LI herself, some of these volcanoes are located not only near communities, also near important air traffic routes. Silent volcanoes. For the development of its tool, the team resorted to the Veniaminaf volcano, located in the North American state of Alaska. This is one of the so -called “silent” volcanoes, volcanoes whose eruption is not preceded by the signals that are generally associated with an imminent or close eruption, such as earthquakes or the deformation of the soil in the surroundings of the Magma Chamber. Veniaminof’s is just an example that We can find In this family of silent volcanoes that also includes some closer such as Stromboli in Italy or Popocatepetl in Mexico. Looking inside the volcano. But among all of them, the Veniaminof volcano is perhaps the most paradigmatic. Not because only two of the 13 rashes that have leaded since 1993 have been planned, but because in 2021 he achieved the milestone of erupting without anyone noticing Until three days later. The team responsible for the study analyzed the internal conditions that make it a silent volcano. Factors such as a slow supply of magma and a warm host rock are key in this regard. The monitoring of the volcano was carried out for three summers prior to one of the silent eruptions of the volcano, that of 2018. A model to get ahead of the eruption. The result, a model that conforms to the state of different variables that can condition the probability of the burst of the magma, such as the volume of the reserve, flow conditions of the magna, depth of the reserve or the form that it acquires is. Thus they could estimate what kind of conditions could be linked to a silent eruption and which ones were not. The team found that soil deformation could help prevent some eruptions of the volcano but that the relationship between underground magma and rashes were somewhat more complex than it might seem. The details of the study have been published In an article In the magazine Frontiers in Earth Science. The following steps. Monitoring the numerous silent volcanoes distributed throughout the world will not be an easy task. For now, the resolution gives a clue to what are the volcanoes to monitor more closely: volcanoes with small and warm reserves and slow magma flows, explains the team.

Something is stealing our dream and they are not just the screens. A neurologist helps us understand what is really happening

by

We sleep, we dream, we forget. But do we really know what happens while we sleep? Sleep paralysis, déjà vusawakening in the early morning or that exhaustion that appears even after Sleep eight hours. In this new section of Xataka we enter all those questions that we have ever asked ourselves and that until now were still without clear response. Or worse: full of myths. We release ‘Science and Apart’, a new section in Our YouTube channelalso Available as Podcast on Spotify and Ivoox. A space where we propose to talk about science with experts in the field. In this first episode, our partner Ángela Blanco talks with the doctor Daniel Blanes Jacquartspecialist in neurology and member of the Spanish Sleep Society. “Dream is a vital function,” explains Blanes. “It helps us to prepare our internal environment and respond to demands From the external environment. ”Sleeping is not simply to rest: it is a biological need that occupies much of our life. Although we perceive it as a kind of blackout, during the dream there are fundamental processes for our body, such as internal reparation. And it is not necessary to be a scientist to intuit it. Just look at the data of a smart watch like the Apple Watch Series 10 or the Huawei Watch 5. Those graphs that divide the night into phases such as REM, deep, essential or vigil are not only decorative: they respond to real processes that fulfill very different functions with each other. In our dialogue with Blanes, concepts such as declarative memory, emotional memory appear, what they are and in which part of the dream are fixed. The talk also addresses ideas such as the relationship between what we remember and the quality of rest. “We all dream a lot, but most dreams are not fixed in memory.” Our guest explains why this happens and what does it mean if We dream very often And we can tell what we have experienced (or we think we have experienced). Angela asks how it is possible to wake up paralyzed, unable to move. “Sleep paralysis is an incomplete awakening,” says Blanes, and adds: “I am awake, I wake up, but I continue with the activation of the visual, auditory cortex, that is, you can see things or you can hear things that are not because in the background is still that part of the REM active and, in addition, the paralysis is complete.” Issues that are very present in everyday life are also addressed. Do we sleep worse than before? Are the guilty screens? Does blue light affect us more than we believe? Throughout the episode we talk about the impact of sleep hormones, why we hate Mondays, narcolepsia and even the collagen we produce at night. “We have a tool to make collagen that is the dream.” We invite you to discover all this and much more in ‘Science and apart’, which starts with a very interesting episode and that makes some key concepts about sleep clear. It will help us better understand this fundamental part of our life. Now we just have to choose the platform you prefer to enjoy this first episode.

We have been detecting a relationship between Herpes and Alzheimer’s years. Now we are discovering that treating one helps with the other

by

A few years ago the scientists detected A strange coincidencea relationship between herpes virus and a neurodegenerative and noncommissible disease: Alzheimer’s. What at the time seemed a spurious and casual relationship, it seems more and more proven and proven. Adding tests. Now a new study He has obtained evidence of this relationship. However, perhaps the most important fact that we can extract from the new analysis has to do with vaccines against infection. According to the study, antiviral treatments against herpes are related to a 17% lower risk of suffering from Alzheimer’s, suggesting that treatment against this virus can protect us against the appearance of this form of dementia. HSV-1. In study he linked again the infection by the Herpes simplex virus Type 1 (HSV-1) with the appearance of Alzheimer’s disease, a form of dementia that is characterized by accumulation in the brain of beta-amyloid plates. Today we do not have a clear idea of ​​how this relationship occurs “(Some) studies have indicated that inflammatory alterations in the brain caused by HSV infection are central to the development of (the disease),” Explain the team Resposable study. “It is pointed out that peptides (beta-amyloids (Aβ)) are deposited in response to HSV infection and protect host cells (…). Consistently, they threw antimicrobial properties against several pathogens, including HSV-1,” they detail. 344,628 matches. In his study, the team He turned to 344,628 participants with Alzheimer who were paired with two participants without diagnosis but with similar characteristics. They observed that among people with Alzheimer’s 0.44% had been previously diagnosed with HSV-1, while only 0.25% of the control group had the same previous diagnosis. The analysis indicates that, taking into account other relevant factors, the probability of finding a previous HSV-1 diagnosis was 80% higher among people with Alzheimer’s than in people without the disease. The details of the study were published In an article In the magazine BMJ Open. Not only HSV-1. The study focused on a variant of the herpes virus but also paid attention to other pathogens of the “family”, such as the HSV-2, Varicela Zoster, or Citomegalovirus. They found a relationship between two of them (HSV-2 and Vicela Zoster) and a greater risk of Alzheimer’s. Understanding the causes. New studies will still be necessary that Explain biochemical mechanisms that explain this type of relationship between infectious processes and noncommunicable diseases. Only in this way can we establish the underlying causal relationships and, hopefully, to find more effective treatments in the fight against disorders as serious as cancer and Alzheimer’s. “Although there is a lot of research ahead to find out the reasons and mechanisms that lead from infection to a process of dementia that manifests many years later, the accumulation of the evidence suggests that the management of these infections, with treatments that are effective for all herpes, or with vaccines such as herpes zoster, is an interesting tool to reduce the risk or delay dementia” explained to SMC María Jesús Bullido Gómez-Heres, head of the Research Group Pathogenic mechanisms of Alzheimer’s disease, who was not involved in the study. Not so non -transmissible diseases. This is not the only example of a noncommissible disease to which we have found a surprising relationship with past infections. A recent example We find it in colorectal cancer and its possible link with infections caused by bacteria Escherichia coli. In Xataka | We are getting closer to ahead of the arrival of Alzheimer’s.
