Why half Spain still does not light at home, and will continue like this time

by

From 12.33 this Monday, A massive blackout seriously affect Spain and Portugal. In his appearance, Pedro Sánchez explained that what Spanish Electric Electricity technicians communicate is that “15 gigawatts (GW) of generation have suddenly lost, in just five seconds.” Something that, he said, “had never happened.” It is equivalent, it has mentioned, 60% of the country’s demand at that time. Nevertheless, The Government still does not explain the causes behind the trigger of the blackout. In this sense, a Portuguese electric operator has indicated as the origin of the problem to an “induced atmospheric vibration”a strange phenomenon produced by extreme temperature variations inside the peninsula. In the absence of official confirmation, the possible consequence behind this would be A 0.15 Hz drop on the electrical frequencythat Normally on the European network it is fixed at 50 Hzas we can see in Grid radar. And, while in Spain Red Electrica estimated to recover the service “between 6 and 10 hours”, the Portuguese operator was more pessimistic, stating that “recovering normality could take up to a week.” At 22:30, 10 hours after the blackout, Red Electrica has announced that it has recovered 48.2% of the estimated demand for this time. Let’s see what is behind the “black start” or “autogenous start”, the process of restarting the electrical system, so complicated so that the deadlines can be extended so much. “It has to be done slowly” Click to go to the publication. As Red Electrica explained in one of the first communications, we are facing an “exceptional and extraordinary” event that had never happened. Something like this is not common in the world, like Simon Gallagher explainsEnglish electrical engineer with 20 years in the electrical networks sector: “I do not think that a re -energyization of such a large network with such a high penetration of solar energy (PV) has never been made before.” To this is the electrical analyst John Kemp, who He pointed out that: “No one has ever tried a black start in a network as dependent on renewables as Iberia. The limited number of thermal generators will make it difficult to restore speed and frequency control.” And there is an added difficulty. Although we should be prepared for what the weather events can bring, Gallagher points out that Most emergency plans are elaborated by raising situations where gas or coal plants are the protagonistsand without the relevance of renewables in our network. Gallagher commented in the context of acquaintances that they are writing surprised by how long it takes to return normality to electrical infrastructure. According to this engineer, The slow recovery makes all the meaningbecause there are many critical factors to handle in the resolution. First, you have to operate with great care, spending a lot of time identifying which parts of the system are as they should: which are turned off, which ones lit, what damaged equipment, etc. And it is a process that must be done manually. Islands. The second key is that You have to reactivate the system little by little, in stages. The re -energization process requires controlling that each part that adds to the system works correctly. And that, despite what can be thought of in full 2025, often requires that engineers physically move to the substations to do something as simple as closing or opening a switch manually. When starting, you have to gradually reactivate the different areas of the country as if they were “islands”, that is, small networks isolated from each other. In the case of Spain, Red Eléctrica has some of these islands are the axes Aragon-Cataluña, Galicia-León or Duero-France. If they connect a lot very fast, These islands can saturate the generators and fall. The process, Gallagher explains, is complicated coming from a general blackout, because the load for the generators will be huge by being turned off. For the islands to integrate with others, they must be synchronized with each other, establishing that they work at the same frequency and voltage. This, again, requires extreme care and is expensive in time. Related to this is the speed at which the energy must be introduced to the network, then If very fast, the electrical system can be destabilized again (A sudden variation in frequency is what would have produced the first fall) altering negatively the 50 Hz to which the network must operate normally. The Iberian case is peculiar. A problem that Gallagher points out of our system is that solar energy does not inertia, in the sense that it does not help stabilize the frequency, indispensable requirement, or to start nets that are disconnected. We must then resort to alternatives such as gas and coal centrals, which have to start without help from others, and that is a slow and expensive process in resources. Another added problem, and that lengthens recovery is that The batteries of the substations, which are doing their job from the blackout, begin to run out. That means that, as we said before, they cannot be energized remotely, and it is problematic even if physical displacements occur to them, because base energy is needed for protection systems to work. How is the “Black Start in Spain” From the beginning of the problem, Spain has worked to work with the authorities of France and Moroccowho have collaborated to help re -Energify the areas of the south and north of the Iberian Peninsula. According to Red Eléctrica, together with this foreign aid, Spain has had a group of hydroelectric plants with the ability to start autonomously, without help from others, as we explained before. In doing so, they have begun to be coupled to the network, growing the aforementioned islands. At this time, according to the company, and According to the worldthere are no islands left. “ Image | Alexandru Boicu In Unspash In Xataka |

How to turn an old Android into an electronic peephole for your home

by

Let’s tell you How to turn your old Android into an electronic peepholeso you can give him a second life. If you have a mobile with a camera that still works, You can give this new function To be able to see who is on the other side of the door remotely, and even record. We are going to start the article to start talking about the advantages and disadvantages of being able to do all this. Then we will tell you how to turn your mobile into a peephole, and we will end up talking about the legal aspects to be taken into account when doing so. Advantages and disadvantages Electronic peephoes are very specific electronic devices, which have a fairly high cost and that serves to know who is on the other side of the door. You will be able to look at any time who is calling you, and even record when there is someone on the other side. The positive part of doing this with an old mobile is that you will be able to see and record what happens outside the house without having a specific peephole. This will allow you to know if who calls you is someone you expect without approaching the peephole, you can look at it from another mobile or computer. The negative part is that has much less functions than other peepholes, and it is more complicated to keep the device loaded. What you are going to use is a remote desktop app, that is, you cannot detect when they call you or use other specific functions of the devices that have been manufactured for this mission. How to turn your mobile into a peephole The first thing you have to do is Anchor your mobile at the door of the housein the inside, and so that the device’s camera is in front of the peephole. You can use the photo app of your mobile to check that the mobile allows you to see what is behind the door. It is important that the anchor is fixed, as with a vertical support with double -sided tape as they have done In Xataka Android. After doing this, Connect this mobile to your house’s wifi. You have to make sure the connection is good and stable. My advice is that uninstal all applications of the old mobile. Let it be half silly, not to have social networks or apps that are consuming battery. You just need the camera and the one we will install later. This will help the battery last much more. Now, you have to Install an application that allows you to control the mobile remotely. Here, do not look for specific applications for this function. One of the best is A remote desktop app call Rustdeskand that is completely safe and open source. Once the application application is installed and your personal desk or mobile desk, follow the steps opening the app on the phone, copying the code they give you and hitting it on your personal mobile or desk. In doing so, You can see the camera of your mobile at the door from the staff remotely. The way to work is simple. From your personal mobile you connect to the old mobile through Rustdesk and Open the camera remotely so that it is seen through the peephole. Come on, from the new mobile or the computer you connect to the old man, and you control it remotely to open the camera application when someone calls. To make this work properly, make sure Configure RustDesk with a fixed passwordso that you always use it to connect to the old mobile. When you access him remotely, in addition to being able to see who is on the other side through the peephole You can also record. Remember the legality of the peats You must also remember the legality by having a digital peephole at home door. These are the aspects that you should take into account when installing a peephole, even if it is the old mobile: Have permission from the neighborhood community: The law establishes that you must have permission of at least 3/5 parts of the neighborhood community, 60% of those who can vote in it. Permission from the neighboring neighbor: The ideal is also that if the peephole comes to record what happens at the door of a neighbor’s house, then you also have the explicit permission of that neighbor to install it. This is not mandatory, but it is what you should do. Avoid capturing common areas or neighborhood doors: It is important to take care of the location and viewing angle so that the peephole does not record common areas or the neighbor’s door without your permission. They should not be focusing or being able to focus on a site that invades the privacy of third parties. Do not use them as a video surveillance system: The captures that record the peephole cannot be prolonged. Come on, you cannot make the peephole be recording all the time or for many minutes so that it does not become a video surveillance system. The best thing is that they are activated only by pressing the bell. Care when storing videos: All the data that the peephole records must be saved in a safe way. In addition, they can only be conserved for a limited period. Do not spread images: If you have a digital peephole, the images you record are only for the owner of the house, for you. If you publish or share the images you record on social networks or by any other means you will be breaking the law and you can fine you. In Xataka | Do you want to install a camera in your car?

How to build an atomic bomb at home

by

Almost half a century ago, when there was obviously no internet and geopolitics revolved around The cold wara fact occurred that made alarms jump to society. Actually, that was the preamble of what would later be enhanced with the networks: use the public material and information available to anyone to develop weapons. With an exception: I was in Liza Build An atomic bomb In the house storage. How to become a legend. Year 1977. A little prominent student from Princeton University He surprised the world Entero (and to the FBI) ​​with an academic project that, under the revealing title of “How to build your own atomic bomb”, detailed to chilling precision the necessary steps to manufacture a functional nuclear weapon. Its author, John Aristotle Phillipsa 21 -year -old born in Connecticut, was the son of Greek immigrants and was studying without standing at all: he had repeated courses, he touched the suspense and was better known by Your pet costume of football than for their academic achievements. His transformation into an international figure came from the hand of an unexpected combination of obsession, stubbornness, ability to seek information and the challenge of impressing a legendary teacher. The academic challenge. Phillips faced a final task proposed by the famous physical Freeman Dysonwho taught in Princeton after having worked with figures such as Richard Feynman and Hans Bethe In some of the most complex projects of the twentieth century, including the development of the atomic bomb inside of the Manhattan project. Dyson had asked his students to work on nuclear proliferation, and Phillips, aware of his lack of academic brightness, wanted to stand out with a provocative proposal: to recreate the design of a bomb similar to that of Nagasakiusing only public sources. Dyson, surprised by the audacity, humorously accepted the challenge, promising an outstanding qualification if he succeeded, but also that he would burn the work after reading it. An obsession. For weeks, Phillips worked tirelessly between Princeton Library and his room, collecting Declassified Document Information of the National Technical Information Service, Physics textbooks, government communications and consultations with the Du Pont company about implosion principles. Without using a single classified source, he managed to assemble a 40 -page document where I explained step by step how to make a nuclear bomb. He delivered the work, obtained the maximum note and, far from being destroyed as Dyson had suggested, his project began to circulate from mouth to mouth until he reached the ears of professional physicists and media. A national celebrity. The dissemination of work attracted the attention of experts such as Frank Chilton, a physicist specialized in nuclear engineering, who said that Phillips design was Technically viablewith the exception of access to plutonium, the only obstacle to its materialization. The news It exploded in the media: The boy without an academic future became forever In “The A-Bomb Kid”a media figure that symbolized both unexpected brilliance and the dangers of dissemination without control in the nuclear era. Fame reached a critical point when several pakistani scientific assumptions approached Phillips to offer money in exchange for the document. The FBI intervened immediately: confiscated the work and a model that the student had built, and classified the material as sensitive information. The contradictory inheritance. Far from taking advantage of his sudden fame to continue in the academic or scientific world, Phillips published in 1979 with David Michaelis the book Mushroom: The True Story of the A-Bomb Kidwhere he narrated his experience and the journey of his unusual rise to fame. Over time, his awareness about the risks of nuclear proliferation led him to become an antinuclear activist, dedicating years to warn about the ease with which certain knowledge could fall into wrong hands. In fact, and in a turn of the events that no one expected, its trajectory finally resulted In politics: He was running as a Democratic candidate for the United States House of Representatives in 1980 and 1982, although that, without electoral success. The truth is that never He shone again as he did in that university project. A warning in full “era.” The history of Philips cannot be more relevant now that the world seems more convulsion that never. In fact, Aristotle’s case It marked a precedent disturbing: A student without access to classified materials managed to design, using only public sources, a functional nuclear artifact. In a global context where technological proliferation has only increased, its history continues to be used as an example in debates about information security, scientific education and ethical limits of knowledge. Although he never physically built the bomb, his work showed that the danger does not always come from professional spies or enemy governments, but also from curious minds with a long time, access to libraries … and a typewriter. Ironically, today there is no need for any of the three keys.

Thus Imagine Samsung the future of the connected home

by

Samsung has been one of the manufacturers who has decided Bet strong for artificial intelligence. We began to see it with Galaxy AI in its smartphones and tablets, but it was a matter of time that this technology was integrated at a deeper level in its appliances. And so it has been The idea of ​​”connected home” makes sense to the South Korean manufacturer if we imagine an ecosystem of devices and appliances that can communicate with each other. And with which we can interact through screens. Screens everywhere. Therefore, Samsung has decided to renew its high -end catalog and provide its most interesting functions for day to day. AI at home, how do we use it? The connected home is not a new concept. There are already devices that integrate with each other and with which we can interact through the voice or mobile, but Samsung seems to want to go one step further using artificial intelligence and screens as a catwalk Attend the World of Samsung 2025 In Frankfurt (Germany) it has helped me to verify that when they proclaimed their motto “Screens everywhere“They said it seriously. We started seeing Samsung’s first intelligent refrigerators years ago equipped with a big screenthe Bespoke French Door with AI Family Hub+, but now there are also screens in the washing machine and the dryer. Because? So that? Although it is a new version, redesigned, this new screen has been called Ai Home and that they have incorporated it into more appliances has a clear objective: Learn from our habits and routines so that we have nothing to worry about. Ai Home is smaller, we can find it in 7 or 9 inches (compared to 32 inches of the family hub), and is integrated into washing machines, dryers and refrigerators. It has the same functions that at first we saw in the Family Hub: Reproduce streaming content, consult information such as time, share images of the gallery, receive calls and provide all kinds of information related to the functions of the appliance in question and saw it for the first time in the Bespoke Ai Laundry Combo. This screen is the access door behind each appliance. It is the tool that users have to interact with the technology that is implemented in these appliances and that aspires to change the connected home paradigm. Or that is Samsung’s idea. How Samsung integrates AI in its appliances Since the celebration of CES 2025 we have seen that Samsung has announced several new appliances with artificial intelligence functions that promise some comfort to the user. The new washing machines of the manufacturer, for example, incorporate the technology AI Wash, which detects the type of garment tissue and the level of dirt through weight and load sensors and artificial intelligence algorithms. From there he decides What is the most appropriate washing cycle and the amount of detergent that is needed. The dryers, more of the same, with AI Dry the drying process is adjusted taking into account the weight of the clothing and the type of tissue. The processing of this information is generally made locally. These types of appliances have integrated microprocessors that are able to execute the necessary algorithms without doing it in the cloud. And, in addition, both appliances can be linked to Auto Cycle Link technology, so that we do not have to bother us to select any program. The dryer Receive the necessary information of the washing machine on the garments that has washed and adapts its cycle. The way in which artificial intelligence is manifested in refrigerators has a lot to do with how they are capable of Regulate the interior temperature In case of necessity. Either to adapt to the outside temperature or so that there is no problem if you need to be opening and closing the door for a while. Thus, temperature changes will not directly influence food. As in the washing machines and dryers, the user experience with this technology in the refrigerators is nourished mainly through the Ai Home. Thanks to the camera and the function Ai Vision Insidethe user can access a list of foods that have been registered when introduced and taken from the interior. Thus, for example, it is not necessary to be at home and look at what is needed in the fridge, it can be consulted directly from Smartthings. In the air conditioners and the vacurers we do not find the AI ​​Home, but they do not forget the artificial intelligence. These appliances include a function that, being linked to a galaxy watch, They detect when you have fallen asleep And then they activate their echo mode, which they call Windfree. Artificial intelligence provides a huge number of functions thanks to all the sensors that are integrated into these appliances with the intention of making the user more comfortable. In addition to promising more efficient consumption, so Savings in the Light Invoice It can be noticed quite a lot. And that consists of Energy Mode, a smartthings function that allows the user to access all the information related to the energy consumption we do with our appliances. In this way, it is much easier to have a global image of what our energy expense is, how we could do a more efficient consumption And what is the environmental impact we have. Is AI in homes something for everyone? It is clear that AI in homes goes far beyond being able to have colored bulbs and ask Alexa to turn on or off the light. Until now, if we stopped to think about a connected device ecosystem, the most logical thing is that a smartphone chain, smartwatch, computer and some Wearable further. Samsung’s proposal, in this case, expands this concept and expands it to a complete network of connected appliances where everyone offers functions based on artificial intelligence. None of this seems something “of the future.” But of course It is not available to everyone. At least, for now. Artificial … Read more

Thus an engineer ended up turning a plane into his own home

by

Can you imagine spending the rest of your life on a plane? Not flying, not going from one destination to another, but living inside it. Day after day. Like a real home, with all that implies. As CNBC points outthis was Bruce Campbell’s dream, a retired electrical engineer who currently lives in a Boeing 727 In the middle of a forest on the outskirts of Portland, in Oregon, United States. When a commercial plane reaches the end of its useful life, It is likely to end up dismantled. The most valuable components – like engines, airplane systems or landing gear – usually recover, but fuselage can be abandoned for years in one of the great world aircraft cemeteriesalthough there are recycling initiatives for aluminum and titanium parts. Bruce Campbell was not convinced by the idea that structures as complex and sophisticated as commercial aircraft ended up unscathed and forgotten in a desert corner. He thought that if they could no longer fly, at least they could remain useful in another way: as habitable spaces. With that idea in mind, in 1999 he bought the fuselage of a retired passenger plane, along with several of its internal components. According to USA Todaypaid for everything $ 100,000 (about 190,000 to the current change). A BOEING 757 converted at home But buying the plane was just the beginning. The next challenge was to move it to its new destination. To do so, the aircraft had to be partially disassembled and transported in truck to its farm on the outskirts of Portland. Once there, between trees and vegetation, piece by piece was assembled again. Today it rests on a support structure that connects with the landing train and wings. Bruce has maintained much of the original plane design, including some higher seats and compartments. Visitors access one of the emergency doors and, when touring the central hall, they find an inhabited space, full of everyday objects: a microwave, a table, a refrigerator and several computers. One of them especially attracts attention: a Apple Macintosh Se From the end of the 80s, where visitors can leave a message. One of the spaces that most attract attention is the command cabin, where several of the original controls used by pilots to keep the plane in the air are still preserved. The thrust levers, the controls and much of the instrument panel remain in place, almost as if the plane were ready to take off. In the rest of the interior, wiring and electrical systems are completely in sight, a detail that fits with the mentality of Bruce Campbell, an electrical engineer of training. Far from reserving its unique housing as a personal refuge, Campbell has more than two decades receiving visitors. To those who approach with curiosity, it offers a small tour inside the plane turned into the house, where he shares his vision and his way of life. It should be remembered that we talk about a Boeing 727a narrow fuselage aircraft whose production was extended between 1962 and 1984. It was widely used in medium -range domestic and international routes – with an autonomy of up to 4,720 km in its most advanced versions – and became one of the most popular models of its time. More than 1,800 units were manufactured, although many were removed in the 90s, when airlines began to replace them with more efficient models.

Some time ago I bought this MSI laptop to work away from home. For this price it would do it again

by

The Black Friday is one of the best campaigns to buy a laptop, but occasionally – you are the store campaigns – we can also find even better discounts. In the Black Friday of 2023 I took the opportunity to buy the MSI Cyborg 15 for 949 euros, and now with the same configuration, but with twice as RAM, we have it in PCComponents for 999 euros. At this price I didn’t think about it: I would buy it again without a doubt. * Some price may have changed from the last review A thin laptop, with a good fan and great performance The MSI Cyborg 15 is a fairly powerful gaming computer that mounts a generous screen IPS of 15.6 inches and which offers a full HD resolution and a 144 Hz soda rate.

Many Russians injured in Ukraine are not returning home. They are flying with the expenses paid to North Korea

by

During the last months, there have been times in the Ukraine War North Korean soldiers They have been the closest to ghost troops. Actually, and as usually happens in the contests, participants figures vary according to the sides, so we may never know the exact number of “shipments”. That said, and if there was any questions of The ties forged in the Cold War for both nationsin parallel, an unprecedented event is happening. Russian soldiers are not returning home, they are going to Pyongyang. From the battle front to Korea. From the beginning of the war in Ukraine, Thousands of Russian soldiers have returned home injured or with physical and psychological sequelae.

Aleksei, like others, approached a two -hour flight from Vladivostok to Pyongyang, followed by A trip to a sanatorium in Wonsanon the eastern coast of North Korea. There, he spent a week with two other dozen Russian soldiers, in an environment that, although he says that clean and well maintained, lacked the specialized medical care he expected. The “healer” role of North Korea. He Shipping Russian soldiers injured to North Korea has not been publicly promoted through the Russian government, images of visits have not been disseminated. However, in a recent interview, Russia’s ambassador to Pyongyang, Aleksandr Matsegora, confirmed that “hundreds of Russian soldiers” have been treated in Sanatorium and North Korean medical centers.

Rest without treatment. Aleksei told the British environment that during his stay in Wonsan he had access to swimming pools, saunas and recreational activities such as ping-pong and card games.
