a ventilation system to install them closer to furniture

by

When placing a refrigerator it is important that we take into account the separation that we should leave with the furniture so that it can ventilate well and not overheat. And this is something that Haier has taken into account with its new refrigerators with which you will not have that problem: Haier Cube 83 7which has a price of 1,449 euros in the official store Haier FD 83 7which has a price of 1,419 euros in the official store. The price could vary. We earn commission from these links New Haier refrigerators The new Haier refrigerators belong to the range Space-Fita series of models that are aimed at greater integration in the kitchen. And it is not only useful by design, but also by convenience because having greater integration also means greater space savings. The reason is that these refrigerators have the technology bottom cooling (front cooling) that, instead of expelling heat from the sides or the back, have a condenser located at the bottom left that expels heat from the bottom right. This allows them to be placed closer to furniture, without overheating and quietlyalthough there is a limit: it is advisable that there be a separation of four millimetersa distance that in practice is very little perceptible, and 59 centimeters with respect to the wall. On the other hand, it is worth mentioning that both refrigerators are designed to be silent, have antibacterial technology and, in the case of the Cube 83 7, it has a water dispenserwhich prevents us from opening the refrigerator door to drink cold water. In addition, both come equipped with drawers Direct Accesswhich allow quick and easy access to frozen foods, as well as having a much better view of the contents of the freezer without cold air quickly escaping.

that people install one in the garden

Data centers have become the new cell towers: no one wants to live near one, not even if they offer money to build one. There are compelling reasons, such as pollution or what electricity bill prices skyrocket. In this context, a San Francisco startup has had an idea that can be crazy or genius: convert people’s homes into data centers. The idea. SPAN is a San Francisco startup that sells home electrical solutions, such as smart electrical panels or vehicle chargers. His new idea is called XFRAa “distributed data center solution” that installs an NVIDIA GPU node directly into homes. That is, instead of having a giant building full of GPUs, they distribute them in small panels throughout entire neighborhoods. These nodes, which have a design reminiscent of a larger air conditioner, contain 16 NVIDIA RTX PRO 600 Blackwell GPUs, 3TB of memory, and liquid cooling. In statements to Ars Technicathe company’s vice president said that “Data centers are noisy, unsightly and often drive up local electricity bills. This is quiet, discreet and makes energy more affordable for the provider and the community.” Image: SPAN Everyone wins. According to SPAN, their solution is a win-win for both hyperscalers and owners. AI companies are able to increase their capacity more immediately, avoiding the long lead times of large data centers. Meanwhile, owners who install one of these nodes will have discounts and even not pay anything for their electricity and internet bill. Electricity increases are one of the arguments of those who reject data centers, so this may increase their attractiveness for owners. Qlanes of the future. SPAN already has a pilot program underway to test its invention in 100 homes this year. The intention is to begin installing XFRA nodes in newly built homes, although they also consider the option of installing them in existing homes, in addition to offering more powerful nodes for commercial clients. The company’s plans are to install 80,000 XFRA nodes throughout the United States, which would achieve 1 gigawatt of distributed power at a much lower construction cost. Of course, it would not serve to replace traditional data centers used to train AI models, but this computing capacity would be oriented towards other uses such as inference, cloud gaming or content streaming. Context. The AI ​​boom requires a lot of computing power and companies started to build mega data centers like there is no tomorrow. They soon realized the problem: there is no power for so many chips. What has followed is an electrical network that does not support so many data centersthe skyrocketing electricity billthe technologies using nuclear energy and one strong opposition from the community. All of this is making building and launching a data center a process that can take years, That is if they don’t end up being cancelled. Maybe it’s not so far-fetched. The energy problem has led technology companies to consider take data centers to spacewhere energy is unlimited, or submerge them in the sea to cool them. The options are on the table, although there are already those who warn that They are a chimera and we still do not have the necessary technology. In this sense, the idea of ​​SPAN is presented as a much more realistic option, although seeing the rejection that data centers are arousing among citizens, it is not clear that it will be well received.

Gijón is already studying to install it

by

In a matter of a few years, electric scooters They have ended up becoming an everyday element of the urban landscape in Spain. The problem is that road signs and regulations around this new type of mobility have taken longer to catch up. Since last year they have had their own signage, and town councils are already beginning to use it. What is happening in Gijón. Just like share the media El Comercio, the Gijón City Council has requested signs of the R-118 model to install them in different parts of the city. This was announced in the municipal plenary session by the Councilor for Traffic, Mobility and Public Transport, Pelayo Barcia. The sign, which prohibits access to personal mobility vehicles (VMP, which includes electric scooters, hoverboards and similar), does not yet have a definitive location. And the City Council has a pending meeting with the Traffic and Citizen Security service to decide on which specific streets it will be installed. The debate on the prohibition of this type of vehicles on certain streets came after an initiative by Vox to create a specific municipal ordinance for these vehicles, a proposal that was rejected. The councilor considered that there is already sufficient regulation: VMPs cannot circulate on sidewalks, they only allow one occupant, they must stop at a pedestrian crossing, and their maximum speed is 25 km/h. Chaff pointed out Furthermore, since January an internal instruction from the Local Police has been in force to act on these vehicles, and that the municipality has acquired a dynamometer to detect scooters manipulated to exceed that limit. In the first quarter, nearly 200 complaints have already been filed since it came into force mandatory insurance. Why does this signal exist and when did it arrive? The R-118 has been in the making for years. Since 2022, the DGT had been announcing the need to update the signage catalogwhich had not undergone substantial changes since 2003. The specific signal for VMP was one of the novelties that appeared in the drafts, although for years its entry into force was delayed due to the lack of legal support. And without modification of the General Traffic Regulations, there was no possible signal. The change came in June 2025. Royal Decree 465/2025published in the BOE on June 17, updated road signage and incorporated new signs, including a specific prohibition on electric scooters. The sign came into force on July 1 of last year, with the obligation to remove the repealed signs before July 1, 2026. It was the first major reform of the sign catalog in more than two decades. What exactly is R-118 and what does it prohibit. Visually, the R-118 follows the classic logic of prohibition signs: a circle with a red border and the silhouette of an electric scooter in the center, allowing its meaning to be understood at a glance. Although it is not only specific to scooters: it basically affects all personal mobility vehicles with motor propulsion. It can normally be found, for example, at the entrance to secondary roads or high-speed roads such as highways and highways, but also (as in the case of Gijón) in urban streets where the presence of these vehicles generates conflicts with pedestrians or other users. Failure to comply can have consequences, as skipping the sign carries a fine of 200 euros. Decision of the municipalities. The placement of these signs corresponds to each municipality, so their implementation will be progressive and adapted to the needs of each city. There is no nationwide deployment, so it is not unusual for there to be cities that have not incorporated it into their streets. Each council decides when and where to install them depending on the traffic in their area. Although the signal has existed legally for almost a year, there really aren’t too many cities that have used it yet. However, there are some municipalities, including Gijón, that have already begun to act. VMP park growth. This type of vehicle has grown brutally in Spain: from half a million units in 2020 to more than five million currently. This rapid growth has generated tensions that cities have no longer been able to ignore, including conflicts with pedestrians on sidewalks, accidents, scooters abandoned in the middle of the streets, and a general perception that these vehicles circulated without clear rules. Regulation has come in layers: first state regulations, then municipal ordinances, and now specific signage. In Barcelona, ​​for example, from February 1, 2025 it is mandatory to wear a helmet and driving on sidewalks is prohibited. Madrid has been imposing progressive restrictions, including the ban on scooter rental services after repeated non-compliance. Each city is building its own framework, within the limits set by the State. What is still missing. The R-118 signal solves part of the problem (knowing where these vehicles cannot circulate) but there are important drawbacks. The councilor of Gijón pointed out that measures such as the mandatory use of helmets at the national level “are subject to a state regulatory development that has not yet occurred”, and the municipalities that have gone ahead on their own see that the fines end up being successfully appealed. The issue of homologation is also pending, since models sold before the new regulations have until 2027 to adapt or stop circulating.

If you are going to install air conditioning, remember what happened to South Korea. It was the architectural disaster of the millennium

by

In the 1990s, some of Asia’s densest cities reached concentrate millions of people in urban areas built in just a few decades. In that same period, several studies began to warn that a significant part of the buildings erected during the great economic booms had serious structural deficiencies. In fact, in some inspections after major accidents, it was estimated that only a minority of buildings fully complied security standards. When you grow faster than you can build. In a few decades, South Korea went from the devastation of war to becoming an industrial and urban powerwith a speed of growth that was hardly unprecedented. Furthermore, during the economic boom in the 1980s, the country was chosen to host the 1988 Olympic Games, and an exorbitant number of buildings were built to meet these new needs. That impulse translated into a construction fever where building architectures mattered more than doing them well, and where practices such as cutting costs, accelerating deadlines or ignoring technical warnings became common. In that scenario was born Sampoong Department Storenot as a project exceptionally flawed from the beginning, but as a typical product of an era when progress was measured in square meters and not in safety standards. Air conditioning as a wick. The key point of the tragedy that was about to take place and that ended up turning the department store into the millennium architectural disasterit was not a single error, but a chain of decisions that ended up concentrating all the fragility of the building in an apparently secondary detail: the air conditioning system. As? Apparently, the equipment installed on the roof They weighed tens of tonsfar above what the structure could support, and their accelerated installation did not even follow normal procedures, as they were dragged on the roof, damaging the structure itself. From that moment on, a terrifying image: every vibration when you turn them on widened invisible cracks that toured the building. What should have been an element of comfort became a lethal burden that ended up acting as the final trigger for the collapse, concentrating years of accumulated negligence in a single point. The department store before the disaster Condemned from the plans. The disaster began long before anyone heard creaking in the ceiling. The original project It was a residential block four floors, but was transformed by Lee Joon, future director of the Sampoong Group, to turn it into a large shopping center without properly redesigning the structure. Plus: Due to bans in Seoul that prevented foreign companies from signing contracts in the city, these monstrous buildings were awarded to a handful of South Korean companies. Overwhelmed by pressure, companies decided that it was best to accelerate the pace of work, regardless of the cost. Thus, the diameter of the pillars was reduced from 80 to 60 centimetersand the distance between them was increased to increase the useful surface, columns removed to install escalators, its thickness was reduced to gain commercial space and a fifth floor was added that was never planned. Each modification increased the weight and weakened the resistancewhile companies that warned of the danger were fired and replaced by more accommodating ones. The result was a chaotic building that, on paper, no longer had a safety margin even before opening its doors. Cracks getting bigger. In the months before the collapse, the building gave multiple warnings that something was wrong. Visible cracks appeared, floors vibrated, employees felt dizzy, and engineers warned of a imminent structural failure. The management’s reaction was to close some areas, turn off the air conditioning at the last minute and continue operating normally in the rest of the building. The reason was so simple as devastating: Losing a day of sales in a complex that received thousands of people was unacceptable. Even on the day of the collapse, with cracks of several centimeters and obvious signs of danger, it was decided do not evacuate customers. Images after the collapse The collapse. On the afternoon of June 29, 1995, the building did not explode nor was it the victim of an external attack: he just gave in to the crazy number of negligence. The air conditioning equipment ended up passing through the weakened roof, the columns could not support the accumulated load and the building collapsed. collapsed in a matter of 20 secondscrushing entire plants on top of each other. More than 500 people died and more than a thousand were trapped, many of them in a space that, just a few hours before, symbolized the country’s economic success. It was a destruction so rapid that it turned a shopping center full of life into a mountain of rubble in less than half a minute. Images after the collapse An avoidable tragedy. Rescue efforts continued for weeks, with survivors found even more than two weeks later under the remains of the building. But the magnitude of the disaster revealed an even more disturbing reality: many victims did not die only from the collapse, but due to subsequent failures in emergency management. Meanwhile, investigations confirmed the most obvious: there was not a single cause, but one after another.accumulation of avoidable errorsfrom the use of low-quality materials to business decisions that prioritized immediate profit over any safety criteria. Monument in memory of the collapse Corruption, punishment and a system in question. The collapse not only destroyed a building, but exposed an entire system. Those responsible, starting with owner Lee Joon, were convicted, including several officials involved in corrupt practices, but the impact was much broader. Subsequent inspections revealed that a significant portion of Seoul’s buildings had very serious structural problemswhich forced us to review regulations and reinforce controls. The Sampoong ceased to be an isolated case and became in a symbol of what happens when a society builds too quickly and too badly. The legacy. Today, where the building stood there is no visible trace of the tragedy, but its lesson remains crystal clear. The disaster was not the result of bad luck … Read more

There are companies that want to install an age verifier

by

Already in 2018 we were talking about vaping was becoming popular among teenagers and today, eight years later, things do not seem to have improved. In schools it has become a recurring problem with students carrying their vaper in their backpack as if it were just another accessory. Now there are companies looking for solutions so that minors cannot access their products. Age verification. The concept is very topical in the technological world. In the midst of the debate about whether prohibit access to social networks for those under 16 years of ageage verification systems are presented as a critical element to make this possible. What we did not expect is to find this concept linked to vapers or electronic cigarettes, but it is exactly what some manufacturers of this type of products are considering, as they say in Wired. Biometrics and blockchain. It is the proposal of IKE Techa company formed from the collaboration between the vaper manufacturer Ispire Technology and Chemular, a consulting firm specialized in the nicotine market. Their approach is to use a combination of biometrics, blockchain and a BLE chip integrated directly into the cartridge to guarantee the user’s age. The system works through an app in which the identity document is scanned and a selfie video is taken. This data is verified using an identification service such as Clear or ID.me and, if the verification is positive, the vaper is unlocked via Bluetooth. For it to remain active, the mobile phone with which the identification was made must remain close to the vaper. According to the company’s tests, the system showed 100% effectiveness. The reason. It is not that vape manufacturers have suddenly decided to insure their products, but it is a consequence of regulation. At the beginning of the month the FDA (the body that regulates foods and substances in the US) published a warning draft of the risk that flavored electronic cigarettes pose for young people. Although at the moment they are guides and their application is not mandatory, it makes it clear that this is where the regulation is moving, which is why there are already companies taking steps to protect themselves. Doubts. IKE Tech claims that it showed its technology to the FDA and they loved it, but there are many doubts about it. Speaking to Wired, Stanton Glantz, director of the Tobacco Control Research and Education Center, is not clear that this system will really work and believes that “every technical solution has a way of getting around it.” The truth is that once the vaper is activated, the system does not control if another person is using it, so an adult could activate it and then a minor use it. For Wang, a system that would work is to install geofences so that vapers are deactivated near schools or in prohibited places such as airplanes. Legal loophole. The fact that vapers have been so accessible to younger people is that there was a legal vacuum that did not equate them to tobacco in terms of regulation. He draft anti-smoking law of 2025 finally put them at the same level, which means that smoke-free spaces also include them and their consumption is prohibited for those under 18 years of age. The law is expected to come into force later this year. Flavors and colors. There is also another issue that has attracted the younger audience and that is marketing. Organizations like the WHO wave AECC have warned that vapers have been marketed in countless fruit or candy flavors, with colorful designs and a fresh and striking aesthetic, almost as if they were toys. In addition, strategies such as advertising at festivals or through influencers who held contests and raffles have been used. To this we must add the fact that there is no specific legislation, which means that we find disposable vapers in all types of stores within reach of anyone. According to data from the 2025 Secondary Education Drug Use Survey50% of young people between 14 and 18 years old claimed to have tried vaping and 27% admitted to having done so recently. The problem is still there. Even if the law comes into force and the age verification systems work perfectly, the question remains that They are very harmful to healthwhether they have nicotine or not. When vaping, the lungs are exposed to a wide variety of chemicals such as propylene glycol, vegetable glycerin or flavorings. The argument for vaping is that it is better than the combustion that occurs when smoking traditional cigarettes and there are studies that suggest that this is sothe question is whether replacing an evil with a lesser evil is the solution.

If the question is how much OpenClaw is taking over, the answer is… in China they are lining up to install it

by

One of the AI ​​phenomena of 2026 is OpenClawone of the most powerful tools (and at the same time dangerous) never released. In China, just a few days ago, nearly a thousand people queued in front of the headquarters of the Chinese technology company Tencent Holdings in Shenzhen. Reason: they wanted to install OpenClaw on their computers. OpenClaw fever. In less than 100 days, OpenClaw has conquered Asia. Of the more than 140,000 AI agents based on its technology, half come from China. Tencent issued an open invitation to its headquarters in Shenzen so that company engineers could install OpenClaw completely free of charge on the computers of those who came. Nearly 1,000 people physically turned out to install the software formerly known as Clawdbot and Moltbot. Because. The enthusiasm for OpenClaw comes from the combination of several key points. China’s early adoption of new technology Push by big technology companies to implement it (Tencent, Alibaba, Bytedance) Real agentic functions, far above what any chatbot offers. It’s not just OpenClaw. ArkClarw, MaxClaw, AutoClaw… The OpenClaw fever has triggered variants of the original, with derivative projects that seek to further specialize their work. It is a perfect storm that fits with the Chinese need to meet the massive demand for AI use while consuming few tokens. This matches perfectly with what China is looking for: cheap, Open Source models prepared for large volumes of use. Yes, but. Although Chinese consumers are demanding use of OpenClaw, the country’s authorities are moving in the opposite direction. As Bloomberg reports, state-owned companies and government agencies have received notices in recent days warning them not to install OpenClaw for security reasons. In the most extreme cases, and according to anonymous Bloomberg sources, the installation of this software has been banned in critical sectors such as banking and some government agencies. Lobster farming. There is a new buzzword creating a trend in China: “locust farming”. One that has to do with the OpenClaw logo and the tendency to install its variants. The project has already surpassed Linux on GitHub in terms of ratings, and despite doubts about its security, it has made something clear: agentic AI is not so far away from what we thought. In Xataka | Agentic AI was the new race for Big Tech and Meta was far behind. It has bought the company most capable of recovering

how to install any game or application with PlayCover

by

We are going to tell you a method with which you will be able install any iOS app on Mac, using an open source program called PlayCover. What this application does is allow you to install applications from their IPA file, which is like Android APKs or Windows EXEs. This is a method with which you can do what Apple doesn’t want, but It also has some negative aspects that is worth knowing. We’ll start with them, and then we’ll tell you how to proceed. What’s wrong with PlayCover The main negative aspect of PlayCover is that we will use the IPA applications for the iPhone or iPad. These are versions of applications that have not been optimized for macOSwhich means they may not be able to be used correctly. In some cases, such as the Instagram app, we will find that we cannot click on the login fields, because they are touch-sensitive. The apps also do not adapt well to the size of the windows, and in general the operation can be far from optimal. Yes indeed, iPad version is launched of the applications something to take into account regarding their size. PlayCover is an application that is in constant development, and they ensure that its objective is that all applications work natively, and even be able to use controllers with the games you launch. The tool is open source and totally secure, and compatible for Macs with Apple M chips. Furthermore, the other drawback is that you will have to get the IPA files yourselfalthough there are pages like decrypt.day which are repositories where you can get them. There will always be a risk that applications come with malware or bugs, so extreme caution is advisable. How to use PlayCover The first thing you have to do is enter the PlayCover website, whose address is playcover.io. In it, you can go to the downloads section and download the latest available version. Install the file you download like any application. Once you open the application after installing it, you have to go to the section Applications.

That is why it is not recommended to use them on your main mobile phone. Also say that we are talking about the base version of Android 17, the one that Google launches for its Pixel devices. Then, Each manufacturer will adapt the system to their mobile phones with its own customization layers and its corresponding beta bases to test everything, find errors and solve them. You should also know that The first betas will not have tangible news in terms of new features, which will be implemented little by little in the next betas. They are basically a framework for developers to adapt their applications to the new developments in the operating system code that are to come. What phones are compatible The first beta of Android 17 is only compatible with mobiles created by Google based on the Pixel 6. New betas will arrive later and different manufacturers will incorporate their own devices, but initially the first to try it will be the Pixels. This is the list of compatible phones: If your phone is one of those on this list, then you will be able to update it to install the beta of the next version of Android.
