A VPN is not missing on my mobile

by

We are just a few days after the summer begins, although the heat is already present in almost the entire Spanish territory. In a very short time I will take advantage of a few days to make a getaway and I will stay at a hotel. In these establishments it is already standardized that there is a stable Wi -Fi and, although I have enough data in my mobile rate, I usually opt for these networks If the coverage is not good in the establishment. These and others public Wi -Fi networks They can serve us very well in those scenarios where the data is not enough or where we have no coverage. The problem is that it is an unknown network, something that can entail certain risks to our security. That is why I always carry a VPN on my mobile to protect myself. There are many to choose, although few as economical as surfshark: it goes out for 2.19 euros a month. Surfshark Starter Subscription – Monthly * Some price may have changed from the last review A VPN is perfect to protect us in unknown networks It is true that it is not difficult to find Free VPNideal to save us from any hurry. The problem is that they offer a limited and slow service that can fall short for certain uses. For this reason, investing in a VPN is a great idea, especially if the investment necessary to have a good one is as small as the case of Surfshark. I always carry the VPN in installed on the mobile, ready to work in a couple of touches. In addition, with the same account we have An unlimited number of devices To use it, so we have no limit if we also want to take it on a tablet or a laptop, for example. With it we will protect our Internet traffic, something recommended if we are going to access the bank’s app or we will do some online procedure. Surfshark VPN is included in the Starter subscription, which comes with another very useful tool. This, which is called ALTERNATIVE IDallows us to generate a series of fictional data that we can use to register on web pages where we do not want to enter ours. This plan, which as we have said a little higher, costs 2.19 eurosimplies that two full years of the subscription will cost us 53.73 euros, a discount if we take into account that its price without the promotion that it has right now would be 417.15 euros. And be careful because we would also receive 3 months of giftso we will have 27 months in total of the service. Some of the links of this article are affiliated and can report a benefit to Xataka.

Five essential accessories in my switch that can not be missing in my switch 2

by

Throughout all the years in which I have used the Nintendo Switch I have been buying certain accessories that have become essential for me. Therefore, in the face of buying the Nintendo Switch 2 I want to continue using them or, for compatibility issues, buy the same updated or similar accessories for the new Nintendo console. And … What are these accessories? In this article I will review them. Hori Adventure Pack by 29.99 eurosa bandit compatible with the Nintendo Switch 2 that allows also to keep several games and accessories. Nintendo Switch Pro Controller by 64.99 eurosthe official Nintendo Switch command that is also compatible with Switch 2. Sandisk Microsd Express by 59.90 eurosthe MicroSD card compatible with the Nintendo Switch 2 to store data and games. Screen protector by 12 eurosa simple protector to place on switch 2. Echo Dot (5th Gen) by 63.99 eurosan intelligent speaker that I have used a lot with the Nintendo Switch. Hori Adventure Pack One of the accessories that I have used most with the Nintendo Switch is the shoulder Tomoc Compact X-Pacthat It has accompanied me many trips by train, subway and bus. It has been super useful to transfer the Nintendo Switch, in addition to certain accessories such as headphones, video games and even my ereader. Unfortunately, it is not compatible with the Nintendo Switch 2. Therefore, one of the bandits that I see more interesting is the Hori Adventure Pack (29.99 euros), which is compatible with switch 2, allows up to six games and some accessories. It is not too large, it includes a transport handle and a quite wide strap and allows a small padlock to the zippers. This is, of course, one of the accessories that I would prioritize, in addition to some that I will comment below. * Some price may have changed from the last review Nintendo Switch Pro Controller Although the Nintendo Switch 2 comes with the adapter to place the joy-with to be able to use them as a command, it is more comfortable to use a command, as is. In my Nintendo Switch I use the 8bitdo pro 2 and I loved all levels. It is very comfortable, the battery lasts a barbarity And he feels like a much more expensive command than it really costs. In the absence of knowing if this same command is compatible with the Nintendo Switch 2, I am clear that for the new console I would choose the Switch Pro Controller (64.95 euros). It is a control designed specifically for the original switch, so if you miss some functions and buttons (such as the “C” of the Gamechat or the rear buttons), it is possible that you want to opt for the Switch 2 Pro Controller (86.90 euros), although it is more expensive. Nintendo Switch Pro Controller * Some price may have changed from the last review Sandisk Microsd Express I am not a person who stores too many games on the consoles. In general, once I finish them. But in the Nintendo Switch I do have installed digital titles to play them at certain timesso I bought a card once 256 GB microSD. It has been enough for this storage capacity, but of course there are others of more size. These cards are not compatible with the Nintendo Switch 2. As mentioned Nintendo, for Switch 2 it is necessary to count (it is not mandatory except that we want more storage) with an Express microSD. These cards are more expensive and there are not too many offers. The 256 GB Microsd Express Sandisk has a price of 59.90 euros In Amazon. It is useful, above all, to have several downloaded games and not occupy all the internal storage of the console. Sandisk Microsd Express (256 GB) * Some price may have changed from the last review Screen protector A good screen protector can avoid the occasional scare, especially considering that Nintendo Switch 2 is a portable console (really hybrid). Having a screen protector can be useful in case we hit the console, but so it is When placing the console in the dock, since it can touch the screen. In stores we can find a great assortment of screen protectors, so … which one? I personally have these protectors very badly, so I would choose the brand Back (12 euros), since in addition to coming with a couple of rigid protectors, it includes a frame to align said protector to the Switch 2 Easy and simple screen. Two protectors pack with alignment macro for Nintendo Switch 2 * Some price may have changed from the last review Echo Dot (5th Gen) Yes, a Echo Dot (5th Generation). A few days ago I commented that I use the Amazon device with the Nintendo Switch Because almost always play in portable mode. In his day I wanted to try if the console could really be connected to Amazon’s smart speaker, and you can. Having a speaker is interesting if we usually play in portable mode, since We can have a better experience (quality and audio power).

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

Some GeForce RTX 50 graphics cards are missing rop units. Nvidia has explained why

by

The family of graphics cards GeForce RTX 50 developed by NVIDIA continues to occupy the Center for Care in the field of PC hardware some more than a month and a half After your presentation. On this occasion we do not propose to talk about how difficult it seems to be to achieve one of these graphic solutions; We invite you to investigate A manufacturing defect which affects a small amount of GPUs installed in these graphics cards. Shortly after their launch some users observed that the number of rankization units, identified in English as ROP (Raster Operations Pipeline either RASTER OUTPUT PROCESSOR), integrated in some GPU GeForce RTX 50 was lower than that indicated by NVIDIA in the specifications. These units are responsible for executing the operations required by the rendering by rankization with the purpose of delivering the images formed by the final pixels to the monitor. Nvidia explained what is happening Several buyers They assure that their GeForce RTX 5090 and 5070 TI have a number of functional ROP units lower than the one indicated in the specifications. Days later a user of Reddit He denounced this same problem on his graphics card with GPU GEFORCE RTX 5080. In the latter case the graphic chip should integrate 112 ROP, but that particular card incorporates only 104 ROP, which has a downward impact on its performance. “Affected consumers can contact the graphics card manufacturer to obtain a new one. This production anomaly has already been corrected” Unfortunately it is not possible to solve this problem by resorting to an update of the BIOS or the controllers because it is a hardware defect. Nvidia has confirmed Tom’s hardware that, in effect, the problem exists, and that It is a manufacturing defect which affects a small amount of GEFORCE RTX 50 family chips. According to the company led by Jensen Huang, the amount of affected graphics cards is somewhat less than 0.5%. “We have identified a rare problem that affects less than 0.5% of the GeForce RTX 5090, 5090D and 5070 TI. They have a lower ROP than specified (…) The average impact on graphic performance is 4% and does not affect the workloads of artificial intelligence (AI) and calculation. Affected consumers can contact the graphics card manufacturer to obtain a new one. This anomaly in production has already been corrected “, explains the official Nvidia statement. The ideal in these circumstances is that all players who have bought one of the GeForce RTX 50 that can presumably be affected by this anomaly in the manufacturing process check if Your GPU has appropriate rop units using Techpowerup Gpu-Z or other similar diagnostic application. If your GPU is one of the defective ones they have the right to claim the change of their graphics card in the store in which they have bought it. An important note: some Founders Edition cards sold directly by Nvidia are also affected.

Heat suspends Butler again, this time 2 games for missing flight and ‘insubordination’

by

The Miami Heat suspended Jimmy Butler for the second time in three weeks, raising the possibility that he may have played his last game with the franchise. Butler received the latest suspension — a two-game suspension — for what the Heat considered a “continuing pattern of disregard for team rules, insubordination and behavior detrimental to the club.” Among the offenses mentioned by the club in the statement it issued Wednesday night was the fact that Butler missed his flight to Milwaukee earlier in the day. The Heat were scheduled to play the Bucks on Thursday and at Brooklyn on Saturday. The soonest Butler could play again for the Heat would be Monday, at home against Orlando. And that would depend on him still being on the roster, which doesn’t seem certain. Butler told the Heat in recent weeks that he wants a trade, a demand he has not made public because league rules do not allow players to do so. Any basketball player who makes such a demand public risks a fine of up to $150,000. But the Heat revealed that request by suspending him in early January for what they considered conduct detrimental to the team, and stressed at the time that they would work to satisfy his trade request. The NBA transfer deadline is February 6. Butler was suspended for seven games earlier this month, costing him about $2.4 million in salary. Butler returned last week and had played in each of Miami’s last three games, averaging 13 points in 29.3 minutes. The Heat left for Milwaukee around 2:15 pm on Wednesday (2015 GMT). That departure time is earlier than Miami usually leaves for most of its trips, and it’s unclear if that was a factor in Butler’s delay. The dates of the matches scheduled on this Heat trip coincide with a paddle tennis tournament in Miami, which mentions Butler as honorary president and co-captain. Butler’s coffee company, Big Face, is also involved with the event. But it was not known if Butler planned to be present at that contest in Miami and if that had anything to do with him missing the flight to Milwaukee. ___ This story was translated from English by an AP editor with the help of a generative artificial intelligence tool.
