My concentration ability takes a long time. Working in a laptop almost 15 years ago has saved me

by

Our care economy is broken. Completely. We are continuously bombarded by stimuli that come by many ways and the consequence is clear: We distracted ourselves with the flight of a fly. It is curious how this is causing a change not only in us, that we look for methods not to distract us, but in elements such as an entertainment industry that has changed its way of capturing our attention. There are two very clear examples of this. Music is one more or less obvious, with increasingly short songs (just a couple of minutes) and, some, with the chorus as the beginning of the theme. In addition, these choruses are also short to fit in the 15 seconds that you can share in an Instagram story. Another example is that of films, with trailers of a couple of minutes that begin with a trailer trailer itself. Here are an example of ‘TOP GUN MAVERICK‘, whose trailer starts with a five -second teaser with images that we will see below: Many more films make this, being a marketing resource that begs us to Let’s pay attention For two minutes. They seem to beg a “Please, pay attention to me, cool things come”. Due to that constant information bombardment, We seek to be productive when we are hyperstimulated And we read books, we learn from successful people, we put into practice supposedly infallible methods, we download applications and, sometimes, we spend more time looking for how to be productive That, really, being. I have to say that I have found a secret to Improve my productivity: Working on a computer that prevents me from opening more than three tabs at the same time. And – at least to me – it works. A hardware barrier If you are reading this it is because you have looked for ways to be more productive and not distract you. I have done it and I have installed everything on my computer, I have configured Ways not to bother the phone And even issues that restrict apps during work hours, but the meat is weak and the finger always tends to go open Bluesky or worse Instagram and Tiktok. One day it occurred to me that, if the software did not limit me, perhaps the hardware would. I went to the closet and took out of the box (I am one of those who keep the boxes of what he buys) My university laptop: a 2011 MacBook Pro. 16 GB of RAM A double -core i5 at a few 2.4 GHz and 13 inches of screen. Years ago I replaced his hard drive with a SSD and I was surprised to light after so many years. What did not work was the charger (nothing that does not solve Amazon and some 20 euros), so I configured it and came across the first problem: I was very outdated. Not only could he not update to a new operating system, but browsers such as Edge, Chrome or your own Safari They were insuffically slow. Nor could I install some applications that I use on a day -to -day basis, such as Notion, because they require a more recent version of the system, so I did with a Firefox Legacy and configured it so that Notion Be the default opening page. You will be wondering why I tell you this, and there I go: when I changed this laptop for a more recent one in 2017, something was already slow and having more than 4-5 tabs in a browser was unfeasible. Despite the 16 GB of RAM, the processor could not with so much without making the fan a turbine, without heating the chassis and without making the system on pull. Precisely, the reason that forced me to make the leap to Infame Macbook Pro with butterfly keyboardIt is the one that made me come back because I wanted, precisely, that. I explain: when I work on a website like Xataka, I do it with a lot of open eyelashes to search for sources. I have Telegram installed, YouTube Music, an image editor and Many times I open, almost by inertia, some social network Or youtube if I don’t feel inspired. With issues such as news or reports, having that overestimulation does not bother me because I know it is something that will take me for a while and then I will happen to something else, but the thing changes when I have an analysis or an opinion article. Does the screen divided there? Neither joke For this type of texts, the concentration is key. You have to turn your thoughts and structure them in a certain way. You cannot afford to get distracted because you lose your thread, and those distractions do not exist with a laptop from almost 15 years ago. If I have more than three tabs open at the same time, the Mac goes to the idle, so I only have notion, Perplexity (precisely to look for something and have many options in a single tab instead of many sources in many tabs) and YouTube Music. Web Telegram It is not an option, for example, and as soon as I have four tabs, the processor is already asking for rest. That with four Firefox tabs That technological barrier, almost physicalnot only does it exist because of how the Mac would go if I open more eyelashes: the screen also plays a paper. 13 inches are not bad and many current laptops have that diagonal, but here the resolution is 1280 x 800 pixels. Translation: scarce, much, so much that putting a game is not an option. Not having a high resolution, putting a split screen is unfeasible, which forces me to have a single screen I am writing, preventing you from having an eye in my text and another in a YouTube video, for example. As I said, it works for me and it is something that I have incorporated into my work routine. … Read more

The culmination of a long biotechnological career

by

Gives vertigo to think that the first artificial breast prostheses They were glass balls or that at the beginning of the nineteenth century Sanguijuelas were used to reduce venous congestion of skin flaps. The world has changed so much (and so fast) that we are not usually able to see the enormous feat they hide some antiojeras patches of 3 euros and 50 cents. And, sincerely, it is a huge mistake. Which hides a patch of the Mercadona. Because the fact that Some “masks” of hyaluronic acid are viral It may seem a curiosity. However, there is a lot of cloth to cut. In a dialogue that has not become famous, but that should be, Miranda Presley tells the protagonist of ‘The devil wears Prada’ that “I understand, you think this has nothing to do with you. You go to your closet and select that deformed blue sweater because you try to tell the world that you take too seriously to worry about what you will wear. But what you don’t know is That Jersey is not just blue, it is not turquoise or marine: it is cerúleo. Exempt from the fashion industry when, in fact, you carry a sweater that was selected for you by people like us. “ This (which is true with the fashion world and with elite restaurants) is exactly like that with aesthetic medicine and contemporary cosmetic industry. After a very cheap patch and A couple of tips to go perfect to the next wedding There are not only “millions of dollars and many jobs”, there is an exciting scientific and technological history. And hyaluronic acid is a great example of all this. Isolated for the first time in 1934, hyaluronic acid is A high molecular weight polysaccharide that is present naturally in our body. An adult human being has, on average, about 15 grams of Ah and, around a third, is renewed daily. Above all, we can find it in the synovial fluid of our joints; But it is In many more placeslike the eyes, the extracellular matrix of cartilage and tendons and the skin. We still do not have very clear all the functions it has in the body, but we do know that it has a key role in maintaining the structure of many tissues, homeostassis, cell hydration and wound regeneration. This is key because, over time, a loss of human connective tissue and its repair processes “that have a lot to do with it is suffered. And the skin is the place where it shows the most. Use hyaluronic acid Help mitigate these problems. We have known that for a long time. Moreover, we knew that (being part of the ‘natural’ substances of the human being) had a very high biocompatibility index and almost no dangerous (or durable) side effect. However, its first commercial use in the 40s was like Egg whiting substitute. The problem for decades was the same: we could only take out the hyaluronic acid from sites such as shark cartilage or clogs of the roosters. fabrics sufficiently rich in this component so that its extraction was ‘cost-effective’. But manufacturing techniques involved a risk of considerable allergy. The hyaluronic boom (and what you have behind). It was not until the early eighties that a first medical product that contained it achieved its approval. Of course, it was Ophthalmological surgeries oriented (cataracts) and had no cosmetics ends. For that we have to wait until 1996 when it begins to be used as a dermo-epidermal moisturizer; But, above all, what The techniques that allowed to manufacture it using genetically modified bacteria were refined. Towards the Nano. It is the perfect metaphor to talk about what is happening with aesthetic interventions. As science advances, that surgery becomes a micro (or nano) that the pharmacology learns to create better molecules and develop better ways to administer them … aesthetic medicine has ceased to be something dangerous, frivolous and niche, for become the “our daily bread” of huge age cohort. The Arrival to the Senectud from the Baby Boom generation (and the economic power they have) does the rest. The science of “rejuvenating your face” is a huge business. And, for the first time in a long time, biotechnology is prepared to offer more than mere placebo. In the same way that modern medicine banished thousands of remedies of doubtful utility, modern biotechnology will change skin care (and the rest of the body) forever. Although, of course, it is not just older thing. Among young people, all this He has also shot. It’s about a social changeYeah; but propitiated by a revolutionary technological change. Every day that passes the techniques become more ambulatory, less intrusive, more effective. Every day that passes the separation between ‘makeup’ or ‘taking care of the skin’ and aesthetic medicine is smaller. Every day that passes the “Rejection science“It’s close to being massive and extremely cheap: democratic. A culmen. That is to say, The patches that Mercadona sells to three and a half euros They are the summary of a very long scientific and technological career of decades that has traveled almost the entire modern industry from the agri -food to genetic engineering passing, of course, through the Aesthetic surgery and regenerative medicine. But, above all, they are a symbol of the times that (With the good and With the bad) They have touched us to live. In Xataka | Some researchers say they know how to end the gray hair.

LaLiga’s crusade with football comes long. And with Movistar and Cloudflare they are paying fair for sinners

by

Football is causing real chaos on the Internet. Not directly, but due to LaLiga’s obsession to avoid illegal emissions of the parties. The particular crusade of this body against these emissions comes from afar, but is beginning to cause real problems to users and companies that have nothing to do with the problem of these illegal emissions. War against IPTV Yy El Cardsharing. In December 2021 the Commercial Court No. 6 of Barcelona He issued an order aimed at the immediate blockade of domain names belonging to several IPTV and Cardhsaring suppliers. The court authorized LaLiga and Movistar+ to monitor web pages blocked throughout the season to identify possible changes in their identification, but they could also request the blockade of new domain names weekly. These requests should be executed by Internet access providers. Said blockages had already been executed In February 2020 After a sentence of the Commercial Court No. 7 of Madrid. Weekly locks. In August 2022 LaLiga and Movistar Plus+ They won a lawsuit Joint before the Commercial Court No. 9 of Barcelona that enabled them to “be able to block access to domains that facilitate the piracy of LaLiga content.” The “dynamic block” measure It allows URLs, domains and IP addresses to be identified weekly without communicating them previously to the Court. It was already decided that it would be in force until the current 2024/2025 season. Attempt to pursue user IPS. In March 204 LaLiga made it clear that I wanted to chase those users They see football by IPTV applications not allowed. A judicial order raised the possibility of track the IP addresses of those who profit economically with that activity. He precedent of the Euskaltel case Years before marked a turning point in this type of demand by content suppliers. Telegram lock attempt. That same month the National Court Ask to block Telegram in Spain to operators. The platform has become On the new Deep Weband through it all kinds of content are shared, even those of emissions that violate the copyright of their owners. Finally The blockade did not occur. LaLiga against Freedom on the Internet. In April 2024 the company He loaded against Google, Apple and Huawei As owners of application stores from where the NewPlay app could be downloaded, one of the IPTV apps accused of violating their rights. 450 euros for using the IPTV. LaLiga continued her particular crusade against freedom on the Internet and in June 2024 requested by letter 450 euros To users who had accessed IPTV to see LaLiga content illegally. Tracking UPS IPS. Just a month ago the Commercial Court No. 9 of Barcelona authorized LaLiga to receive Information about IPS connected to Acstream. A preliminary diligence requested by the League was agreed, which consists of: “sending to the operators of the IP addresses identified and ordered based on the ID of the” Ace Stream “channel in which they participate.” Criminal Procedure Law. This law includes in its article 13 the “provisional interruption of the services offered by said contents or in the provisional blockade of each other when they lie abroad.” However, its affectation to a fundamental right such as freedom of expression, and also these measures, which involve IPS blocking, are being carried out in certain cases in a seemingly indiscriminate manner, affecting both legitimate sites as to sites that are not. The reason is that platforms such as Cloudflare use IPS that share all those services. How illegal retransmissions are detected. The way to detect and knock down web domains that broadcast soccer matches illegally has changed a lot in recent years. In LaLiga they make use of Tools like Marauder, Lumière and Blackhole For these tasks, and said software It has generated interest internationally. IPTV as such are legal. NewPlay is one IPTV to use. Base are a completely legal type of application. They are still decoders of M3U lists. For practical purposes a kind of VLC -style player. While LaLiga accuses this type of applications to be used to reproduce content without permission, such as football matches. In addition, the Supreme Court has already established that football has no intellectual property. But the indiscriminate block of IPS is terrible. What is happening is that among the IPS that are blocked there are IPS managed by Cloudflare that are not dedicated to a single service, but are shared between tens, hundreds and even thousands of them. If the Internet supplier does not relate a selective block, when blocking the IP, it not only prevents access to who offers illegal content, but also to the rest of the services that are totally legitimate. Cloudflare does not make it easy. Cloudflare makes use of techniques such as ECH (Encrypted Client Hello) to protect the privacy of websites that share that IP, which makes the filtering of each other and the execution of a selective block. However, some operators like Vodafone They confirmed to Xataka Mobile that these days they applied a block “much more precise and adjusted to LaLiga’s request” although they did not give details about it. Movistar’s clients complained precisely that They were affected by indiscriminate blockages that prevented them from accessing numerous web sites and services.

The Persian Gulf has dominated the long era of oil. Now he is preparing to lead the era of solar energy

by

There is an increasingly more and more evident energy change, and even the countries we would never think are jumping to the renewable pool. Yes, I talk about the countries of the Persian Gulf. However, the tests are there: seven Chinese solar companies were generating more energy capacity than the world’s greatest oil companies. So, now, with their money and a lot of sun, everything indicates that they will give sorpasso. Wild investment. For very recently, Gulf countries have decided to invest in renewable projects. On the one hand, the United Arab Emirates They have announced a solar project 5.2 GW with a battery system, also betting on storage. On the other hand, Saudi Arabia is developing its energy transition plan through the Vision 2030 Plan. Recently, the Saudi Aramco oil giant has announced an agreement to start producing lithium in 2027. In addition, They are developing a plan to extract and enrich uranium For nuclear energy. Likewise, the Saudi country is carrying out different solar energy projects, some in Collaboration with China and others with Spain. And we can’t forget Kuwait, who already started two years ago has develop 17 GW of renewable energy and 25 GW capacity for the production of green hydrogen, which propose to export it to international markets. Data. According to the recent report by the International Renewable Energies Agency, the Middle East has Less than 1% of the world’s renewable capacity. However, from the agency they have detailed that the forecast for the next few years will be of accelerated growth. For its part, An analysis of the consultant Rystad Energypoints out that within five years, more than 30% represents total capacity in Gulf countries such as the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman and Qatar. From the consultant they detail that this impulse is due to the weather conditions and the favorable conditions of the market. New solar panels will boost electricity generation in the Gulf Favorable energies. In the graph of Rystad EnergyWe observe that the Persian Gulf has two very different parts. The colored areas of orange, blue and green that represent renewable energies we see how they increase exponentially, especially solar. However, we see how nuclear and hydrogen have a slight growth that is maintained over the years. On the other hand, oil and gas, colored gray, although they are currently the main sources of energy, they will fall by 2050. China, ally or competition? The Asian giant has become a double agent in the energy transition, acting as much as a partner and competitor. On the side, Chinese companies such as Jinko Solar, Longi and Byd are providing solar panels, batteries and other technologies for the ambitious renewable projects in the desert region. On the other hand, China is carrying out the development of its own solar and wind projects. Besides, Your dominance over the global supply chain of batteries and solar panels gives you an advantage in the energy market. At the same time, its expansion in the Middle East allows you to gain influence in a region that has historically been dominated by fossil fuels. The change. The Persian Gulf is in the process of investing in renewables to mark its path to sustainability. However, they still have a stretch to travel because infrastructure and energy supply stability are still aspects that must be resolved.

‘The Brutalist’ is so long that it includes an intermediate of 15 minutes. And to the surprise of the director himself, people are delighted

by

Since we began talking about ‘The Brutalist’, Brady Corbet’s movie that It is nominated for ten Oscar And that is presented as one of the favorites to take the lists of the best of the year, all chronicles and criticism emphasized their duration, unusually long, three and a half hours. And also the even more unusual decision to be screened divided into two parts, separated by a fifteen minutes intermediate. But why. Was the intermediate necessary? According to Corbet and his coguionist Mona Fastvold, yes. In An interview with Indie Wire They said that “he was always scripted, the intermediate. He is curious, in a way he has caught the attention of what we expected. I personally have trouble sitting still for three and a half hours, so I needed it. And it was a decision of face to the public “. And they added that “people feel at home and see between eight and sixteen hours of a limited series with small breaks, so if you apply that idea to this movie, you are zampando with a little break in the middle.” Longer and longer movies. There is a very fashionable calculation in these times, in order to maximize the time we dedicate to leisure and that values ​​the profitability of cultural works: the longer, the more value we are giving our free time. In the video game industry, the number of hours needed to finish a game is a detail that is made public before it goes on sale. And the increasingly extensive films and series, guaranteeing the viewer that he can invest a good part of his day (or the whole day) in devouring a story. Only in that context are less and less extraordinary films such as’WICKED‘(160 minutes),’The Batman‘(176),’Oppenheimer‘(180),’ Avengers: Endgame ‘(182) … but none has intermediate. Of course, none lasts 215 minutes. Before there were intermediate, but as you are young you don’t remember it. Decades ago the films passed several times: the change of roll in the projector demanded a pause that was soon eliminated, when the projectors arrived that did not demand to interrupt the projection for the change of roll. And then, the arrival of digital cinema was loaded with that characteristic flicker in the image and sound that the oldest of the place identified with analog cinema. That is, the intermediate of ‘The Brutalist’ is completely unnecessary (unless we have the need to go to the bathroom and stretch our legs, which is not little), and still is done. ‘The Brutalist’ also looks like a movie from another time. A very thoughtful intermediate. The interesting thing about ‘The Brutalist’ is that it is not a cut, as was the case in old films, which happens when a film roll ends, or as it happened in some cinemas with the monstrous ‘also’The Moon Killer‘(206 minutes), when the room seemed convenient. It is a very thoughtful intermediate, which divides the film into two parts that differ in tone and style. The film is something in its first half, and after the intermediate, it is something else. The intermediate helps the viewer prepare for that change, and also reinforces the operatic quality of the film: because in the theater and opera they continue to be intermediates. Everyone loves intermediate. This apparently inconsequential aesthetic decision has become one of the hallmarks most celebrated from the film. It is being said that it is a way of recovering cinema as a total experience, which forces us to comment on what we have seen, to consider what we expect from what remains, and see the film as more than a mere procedure of going to any room To consume passively. Along with his celebration of the mastodontic formats And his classic and precious style, ‘The Brutalist’ has become, beyond an admirable film, a cinephile party.

How the long and controversial end of ECC Comics has been forged

by

Even if it is for a short period of time, DC Comics is left without a home in Spain. The publisher that was in charge of it, the Catalan ECC Editionsis declared bankrupt and the judge in charge has launched its liquidation and dissolution, as reflected in the Public Bankruptcy Registry this past Saturday. It is nothing more than the official confirmation of a rumor that has plagued networks and fan forums for months: that ECC was about to lose the publishing rights to Batman and Superman. DC, an abrupt history of editions in Spain. Contrary to what one might think, DC has had a rather bumpy time in our country: Novaro, Bruguera, Zinco, VID, Norma, Planeta have been responsible for publishing its catalog and for just over fourteen years now, ECC . And its arrival to the rights of the North American publisher was not exactly easy: the ADLO blog remembers it! diving into the newspaper libraryand remembering that ECC obtained the rights in a struggle with Planeta (owner of the rights since 2005) that is still full of chiaroscuros. The comic packaging machine. ECC did a job as a packager (in English, packaginga services company that manages translation, layout and even distribution tasks) for Planeta. The transfer of powers, the loss of the rights by a seemingly untouchable giant like Planeta in favor of a fledgling publisher is a strange move, and the official version of ECC is that they got the rights straight from DC. The truth is that, doing all the work of packaging for Planeta when it was outsourced, it had gained considerable experience. However, bad press came to ECC when, after six years as DC’s editor, she decided to launch a minor classic of the house, the ‘Kamandi’ by Jack Kirby via crowdfunding. Of the crowdfunding to heaven The decision, because it was unusual, was highly controversial: not only is it not usual for an established publisher, but it is much less so if it is about launching a comic of one of the majors of superheroes. It was especially controversial among booksellers, since in a crowdfunding which finances and ships directly to readers, the product bypasses intermediaries. The decision to launch more and more crowdfunding (and no less classics, like ‘New Titans’ or ‘Batman and the Outsiders’) and open your own stores continued to raise suspicions. The beginning of the end. In 2020, Panini (Marvel publisher in Spain) acquired the rights in Italy to publish DCwhere Marvel also edited. It was the beginning of four long years of rumors in which in Spain it was said with increasing force that ECC would end up losing the rights to DC. Rumors that have been accentuated as the delays accumulated and the unrest with the stores took shape in a much more tangible way: the Madrid-based Akira Comics, one of the most important specialized stores in Spain, detailed in a tweet “SERIOUS accounting disagreements” with the publisher, with a number of concerns shared by the Madrid Booksellers’ Guild. The authors cry too. While the relationship with fans it was becoming more and more tensealso began to be so with the creators: the cartoonist and screenwriter Bruno Redondo published a thread on Twitternow deleted, about the Spanish edition of his ‘Harley Quinn: Black + White + Redder’, protesting the “disastrous” translation and labeling of the comic. The responsibility, according to Redondo, lies with a tool that uses generative AI, which undoubtedly added fuel to the fire, generating a new controversy from which ECC had to defend itself. in a statement. If these complaints reached DC’s ears and could have precipitated the publisher’s fall, it is something that belongs, again, to the rumor mill, but what is true and verifiable is that since the summer, the publisher’s delays and series that are left hanging They are counted in tens. Who gets DC. Once again, rumors abound about the purchase, not officially confirmed by Panini, but which go far beyond “if the river sounds…” (for starters, the publisher itself tweeting that “as soon as possible, we will share official information with you”, without specifying whatbut at a time when rumors were a clamor). Contacts familiar with the case and close to the publisher confirm that Panini is carrying out personnel movements with the idea of ​​creating a department for the DC edition, and that the intention is to leave before the summer, although for now, in the communication of news From the publisher for April DC Comics does not appear yet. Added to the clues that Panini herself is advancing online is the indisputable fact of her experience editing Marvel, and that she already publishes DC in Italy and France. The other possible candidate to publish DC, Planeta, has already announced that it will imminently publish the other important license that ECC had, Skybound (‘The Walking Dead’, ‘Invencible’). All clues point to Panini. Header | DC Comics In Xataka | We have analyzed the scores of Marvel and DC movies to solve the dilemma: which franchise do you like more?

Huawei’s long goodbye in Spain: from strategic partner to unwelcome technology

by

Telefónica has awarded Nokia the last part of its 5G core, completing the elimination of Huawei from critical Spanish networks, according to advances Expansion. Why is it important. This move culminates the unofficial banishment of the Chinese giant from critical telecommunications infrastructure in Spain. An explicit government veto has not even been necessary. The context. In 2019, Telefónica had chosen Huawei for its 5G corea decision that was surprising at the time, but international pressures, with the United States at the helm, have been forcing an immediate change of course. The operator announced shortly after a strategy multicore which, in practice, has meant the beginning of the end for Huawei in its Spanish critical infrastructures. The estimated value of the new contract with Nokia is 15 million euros for six years. Huawei’s current presence in the 5G cores of the three large Spanish operators has been reduced to 0%.
