Europe manufactures in Algeria with the same method that criticizes China and Algeria has been tired

by

When Ebro arrived in Spain, it was said that the intention was to return the company to a fully Spanish past. The truth is that, for the moment, it has little because Ebro S700 and S800 They are, in essence, versions of the Chery Tiggo who are given life through the DKD system. This way of working It resembles that of a puzzle. Instead of having a whole assembly line where the different pieces are assembled and equipped with a driving train, Chery sends cars in almost mounted containers and, here, they finish joining a few parts to leave through the doors of the factory. The system is controversial. At the moment he has helped to boost work in the old Nissan factory in Barcelona for which a clear future was not. But The DKD system is hardly impact on the region since less workers are needed and all pieces (and suppliers) come from China. This way of acting, in fact, It has not been well seen by the European Union that they have already warned Chery that they would not help them save tariffs on their electric cars, understanding that They were bridging They with a minimum investment. A similar situation is what they have in Algeria. And the government has sent a message: the time has come for this to end. “We want to produce cars” “We want to produce global cars locally, and the time of inflating tires is over.” The words have been pronounced by Abdelmajid Tebboune, president of Algeria, In an interview with local media. This metaphor for “inflar tires” refers to the superficial investment that large manufacturers make in the country to “produce” your cars in the country African. Right now, Stellantis is producing fiat cars there. So does the Volkswagen group (with Seat, Skoda, Volkswagen and Audi) or Renault. Hyundai or Chery is expected to also open new plants in the country in the near future. However, Algeria lives a complicated situation with this part of the industry. As in the case of Ebro, the local investments of the manufacturers are minimal and what you really want is to skip tariffs and difficult homologations of imported vehicles that have been created to protect the local economy. Renault, for example, acts with the symbol (his Renault Clio in Algeria) in the same way that Chery does with Ebro in Spain. “The vehicle arrives semi or completely finished, so there is nothing to ride,” says Mohamed Bairi, head of Ival, importer of Iveco, to local media. The intention, therefore, is that the use of pieces provided by local suppliers and the involvement in Algerian plants is greater. Stellantis ensures that the use of local pieces will increase by, minimum, 35% from 2026. What the government wants is that this changing forcing the integration of local parts to be at least 30%. As they collect in L’Automobilejust 5% of pieces used in Algeria come from local supplies. It remains to see how this will affect Hyundai’s plans and, above all, those of companies like Chery who trusted the CKD system to sell their vehicles in the country. This last option increases work rates in the country where you work locally and that is what You want to do with the electric omoda 5 In Barcelona. However, all pieces come from abroad and that is what ampoules has raised in the European Union and want to avoid in Algeria.

Let’s tell you What do you need to expand the Windows 10 to 2026 support. As you know, the previous version of the operating system is about to become obsolete, and will stop receiving security updates, so it will begin to use it. But there are still millions of people who use it, so Microsoft has decided to take a small step back. Although last year Microsoft said we could expand the support paying $ 30 for one year, it has now announced A free methodwith which we will simply have to use the Windows Backup tool or Windows backup. We are going to tell you how to proceed. But before starting, I remind you that the only thing you will receive in this extra year are Security updates. The operating system will remain moderately safe, but you will not receive new functions, because Windows 10 is officially dead. Free Windows 10 updates to 2026 The first thing you have to do is enter the Windows settings, and in the section of Accountsand click on Your information. You will have to Log in with your Microsoft account. Yes, to have a free year you will have to link your account to Windows. Now, you have to Open the application Windows backupinstalled on your computer. You should appear with the name in Spanish, but you can also try Windows Backup. Here, you just have to back upso that tango the configuration of your device such as credentials, installed apps or folders and content are stored. Each of the sections can be configured to your measure. With these steps, when the Microsoft moment arrives, it should allow your computer to continue receiving updates on Windows 10 for a few months, until next year. I may not tell you at the moment, but Microsoft will notify you About this, and at most you may have to make another copy. Thus, if unrelated vulnerabilities are detected that cybercriminals are waiting to use when there are no longer updates, Microsoft will update your Windows to prevent them from taking advantage and solving security problems.

Method 90-90-1 is the new religion of hyperproductivity. It is only common sense with mystical numbers

by

The 90-90-1 method was popular by Robin Sharma, the author of books like ‘The monk who sold his Ferrari‘. Sharma is not holy of my devotion – its self -help literature sins of industrial optimism typical of the genre – but the formula of this method starts from something reasonable, and that made me look at it. The proposal is dedicate the first 90 minutes of every day for 90 consecutive days to a single objective. Something that, he says, will transform your life. This formula is the last incarnation of our cult of personal optimization, wrapped in the seductive promise that happiness is just three months away. The formula is elegant in its simplism. Researchers from the University of Nottingham discovered that The self -control is at its peak just after awakeningand then gradually exhausted during the day, something that explains my strong sports discipline at dawn and my desire for dusk. Sharma calls the first hours “Platinum time“And he suggests that they are the optimal time to work on what matters most. The method is based on circadian rhythms and the theory of human chronotypes: Each person has natural moments of greater energy that can be used strategically. The interesting thing of 90-90-1 is in what omits: it is a psychological trick disguised as a system, not a complete methodology of time management. Sharma himself warns: “There is so much available distraction that, if you are not very careful, it will dominate your days.” So The method works not by revolutionary, but for forcing a behavior that should be obvious: concentrate on the important when we have the most mental energy. But there is a trap: if we concentrate for an hour and a half it is difficult, it is a common place in productivity literature to start with shorter blocks, and increase them little by little. If the mornings do not work, adapt it to another moment of the day. If you interrupt you, have a plan B. The 90-90-1 can become Xyz and that each one adjusts it to their convenience. But when something is so flexible that it adapts to anything, it ceases to be a method. It is rather a sophisticated excuse to do what we already knew we should do. 90-90-1 is not useful for its magical numbers, but for its function as a ritual of initiation to disciplineblessed word often shunned that in fact is not verbalized in a method dedicated to it. Like any productive fashion, promises personal transformation in exchange for willpower to follow a formula. Life is rarely bent before such orderly formulas. The objectives change. Priorities change. And rigid systems are usually the first to collapse before real life. 90-90-1 does not go as much to optimize our time as the collective need that someone tells us when and how to work on what matters.

He claims to have a training method for his AI 88% cheaper

by

The Chinese company High-Flyer broke into the market in the market of the artificial intelligence (AI) At the end of last January. Deepseek, his proposal, has made its way among its competitors thanks to its open nature and its benefitsbut the authentic debate has revolved for several weeks Around the cost of training your models. And it is that according to its creators they were barely spent 5.6 million dollars In this process. Three and a half months later this figure is still unbelievable, so it is reasonable to contemplate it with distrust. Anyway, Deepseek has put on the table the possibility of facing the training of the new models of investing much less money than the one spent by US companies OpenAi, Google or Anthropic in the tuning of theirs. Now it is the Chinese technological giant Alibaba who seems to be following The same path that has already traveled Depseek. And it is that it claims to have developed a AI models training system that reduces the cost almost 90%, which presumably will have a positive impact on AI search capabilities. Alibaba’s jewel is called Zerostoch The strategy that Alibaba engineers have devised to reduce the cost of training their AI models is ingenious. And instead of interacting with real search engines during this process, Zerostoch, which is what is called its technology, improves search capabilities carrying out simulations. To understand why this approach is much cheaper, we need to keep in mind that the costs associated with the redirection of commercial search engines are usually high. Alibaba has put a model that behaves as a search engine that is capable of training other AI models According to Alibaba Send 64,000 consultations to the Google search engine through an API has an approximate cost of $ 586.70, while generating the appropriate responses for training by means of an AI model of 14,000 million parameters has an approximate cost of 70.80 dollars, which represents an 88% cheaper. In practice, what Alibaba engineers seem to have achieved is to tune a model that behaves as a search engine that is capable of training other AI models so that they are able to solve consultations. This scenario has a very evident advantage: training no longer requires interaction with external search infrastructures. Alibaba, as we all know, is a gigantic company, but from now on this strategy can be used by much smaller companies to train their own AI models without the need to face a great investment in this process. In addition, presumably this technology will improve both the search capabilities of AI models and the ability with which they carry out the reasoning processes. At the moment Alibaba has used Zerostoch to improve the capabilities of his Quark model, which for just three days has been capable, always according to its creators, to combine the internet search and advanced reasoning capabilities to resolve inference and deliver precise responses to complex consultations.

The latest creation of the productivity guru is not a new method, but a clock that counts the days that are missing to die

by

A little over a year ago, in Xataka We talk about ‘second brain‘, that concept popularized by the productivity guru Tiago Forte. His latest novelty is not another book or other method, but A tool as simple as disturbing: Death Clocka calculator that predicts with mathematical precision the date of your death based on 17 custom variables. The calculator tells you, after answering some questions about your life habits, the exact day in which you are expected to die. And although it sounds a bit macabre and childish, the idea makes sense. Obviously, it is not an exact prediction or intends to be. It is rather a Mori memento digitala modern way of practicing that old philosophical exercise of contemplating our mortality to live better. The application simply translates your habits into a longevity estimate: changes from “sedentary” to “intense daily exercise” and you will see how a decade of life instantly wants. A numerical visualization of how our daily decisions accumulate over time. The first questions of the questionnaire. Click on the image to go directly to the application. Image: Death Clock. And a technological curiosity: Forte does not know how to program, so he built the entire application in a few hours by resorting to the VIBECODING With ia. He basically told a programming assistant what he wanted and this was creating the code for him. What really matters is how your perspective changes knowing that you have already exhausted, for example, 40% of your life. Suddenly, that meeting that could have been resolved with an emailthat mediocre series that you are seeing by inertia or that project that you carry postponing for years take a completely different weight. It’s not about being morbid or depressed thinking about the end. Not even giving more importance than what it simply puts figures to what we should intuit. Simply becoming aware of our finitude helps us to filter the noise and focus on what we really want to do with the limited time we have. It forces us to ask ourselves if this is what I want to spend one of the days I have left. And maybe there is the key to productivity. Not to do more things, but to do the right ones. Those that really matter. In Xataka | The “Johari Window”: understand how others see us unlock a good part of our potential Outstanding image | Xataka with Mockuuuups Studio

What is it, how it works and requirements to use this method to renew your DNI

by

Let’s explain WHAT IS THE EXPRESS DNIa process that is beginning to deploy in Spain to expedite the process of renewing the national identity document. This process usually takes because you have to go to the police to do it, obtaining an appointment first. But now it is starting to expedite, so that renewing the ID can be very easy and fast. We are going to start explaining what the express DNI is and how this procedure works. Then we will tell you What are the requirements To be able to use this method to renew your document, and so know if you will be able to do it. What is and how the express DNI works Express DNO is a new method for renew your fast and easy IDwhich will live with the traditional method. Instead of face to face with an agent to complete some procedures such as putting your fingerprint, you will enter a cabin where everything speeds up. It’s about A multiple expedition module (ME) that are being installed in the police stations that can perform this procedure. This means that it is not in all, but in those where the DNI is renewed, that these machines are being installed. It is a double cabin, and on the other side there are an agent who can serve two people at the same time. In it, in addition to renewing the ID at the moment you will also be able to make the payment, either by card or contactless with your mobile or smart watch. These stations have technologies for biometric capture, with which you can Remove the photo of a person and get their fingerprints. Come on, the two things that are needed for you to renew the DNI can be done in this cabin. The term DNI Express refers to the fastest process without renewal, not the identity document, so what you get is exactly the same as if you do by the traditional method. The advantage of this method is that You do not need to request a previous appointmentsomething that in some cities can have a long waiting. In addition, it reduces the costs, since You don’t need to take a picture for the ID In no establishment, the machine takes it out for you. REQUIREMENTS TO USE THE EXPRESS DNI These are the requirements that you must meet to use this new service. You have to fulfill them alland if there is any that is not fulfilled you will have to renew your document for the traditional channels: They must miss 180 days or less for the expiration of the DNI, that is, to be within their renewal period. Personal data, such as address, must be maintained. The current ID chip must be in perfect condition for the module to read it without problems. It must be a renovation and not a first expedition. In any case, such renewal should not be caused by the loss or theft of the document. The fingerprints They must be read correctly. As is evident, in addition to this it will be necessary that in the police police station where the ID is renewed in your locality, one of these cabins has been installed, something that can take a little longer in some cases.

The microwave method to disinfect sponges has its advantages. And an important risk to consider

by

Kitchen hygiene can avoid the occasional health problem. Kitchens are propitious areas for The appearance of microorganismssome of them with the ability to cause us infections. Keeping the kitchen clean is therefore important but sometimes the solution to this problem hides a similar threat. In our kitchens, rags and cloths that we use to clean can hide new microorganisms that reduce our effectiveness when cleaning. To avoid this problem, it is advisable to change this type of cleaning utensils, utensils such as sponges with which we scrub the dishes. This is undoubtedly the best way to ensure that our cleaning utensils are found Perfectly disinfectedbut most likely that, by economy or by disgust, we end up stretching the useful life of these objects more than the account. So it can also be useful to know ways to keep germs at bay in our sponges and in similar objects. Cleaning products such as bleach are used in many homes to fulfill the function of disinfecting cloths and rags. Although this solution is generally effective, we must be cautious to avoid the possible mixture between cleaning products, which could imply other types of risks. In the case of sponges, there is an alternative: Use heat To sterilize them. The “microwave trick” It consists of soaking the sponges and introducing them for a minute in the microwave. This system is effective to eliminate some pathogenic microorganisms, but there are some aspects to take into account so that this trick does not imply more risks than advantages. The first thing we should ask is, is it something? The answer is that yes, heating our sponges with a microwave can end some of the microorganisms that proliferate inside. But not with everyone. In the case of sponges, there is an alternative: use heat to sterilize them. The “microwave trick” It is effective To eliminate some pathogenic microorganisms, but there are some aspects to take into account so that this trick does not imply more risks than advantages. The first thing we should ask is, is it something? The answer is that yes, heat our sponges with a microwave You can end some of the microorganisms that proliferate inside. But not with everyone. A study conducted by researchers from the University of Florida and published in 2006 in the magazine Journal of Environmental Health He tested the method. The team He immersed a sponge in waters contaminated by a variety of pathogens, including different types of bacteria, viruses and parasitic organisms. They observed that two minutes at maximum power served to eliminate 99% of these. Subsequent studies validated this analysis. For example, in One published in 2009 In the magazine Food Controlit was observed that a minute of microwave action generated a greater reduction in the number of pathogens in the sponge than a disinfectant chemical treatment. Double -edged sword Using the microwave can be an effective way to inactivate hidden pathogens in our sponges but also presents an important risk that may be dissuasive: The fire. The sponges, heated in the microwave, They can burn. This will not only prevent us from fulfilling our goal of extending the useful life of this object, it can also mean a important risk if the fire extends. That is why those who propose the use of microwave as a disinfectant tool to emphasize Some precautions to take: The first is not to introduce sponges containing adhered metal elements. Second, the sponge must be soaked before being introduced to the microwave. Thirdly, we must take into account that with a minute at maximum power, it should be sufficient to achieve our goal and, in any case, not have the microwave on for more than two minutes. Finally, it will be better to let the sponge cool before removing it, not because of the risk of fire but to avoid burns. There are other alternatives if we want to avoid the risk of seeing our sponge to burn. We have already pointed out the possibility of cleaning them with a chemical disinfectant such as bleach (sodium hypochlorite) in water solution. The 2009 study Posted in Food Control He pointed out Another alterative also effective: To wash the sponges in the dishwasher (if we have one of these devices, of course). According to the study, method can be as effective as that of the microwave and more than the use of chemical disinfectants such as those in our homes.
