Free is always good. Most companies have devices that we can get at a good price or without paying anything, although most of the time they are mobile phones that have been available for a few months. We say in the majority and not always because Movistar is there, which puts the new Google Pixel 10a and allows us to get it for 0 euros per month. And, also, movies and football like tomorrow’s great game for 9.99 euros per month. You have the Google Pixel 10a, iPads and more in the Movistar catalog If we take a look at the Movistar page, we can see that it has a fairly large catalog of devices. All we have to do is go to the filters (they are just on the left) and, within the price section, select only those that cost 0 euros. There we can find everything: from various TVs to Dyson vacuum cleaners, including, of course, a lot of mobile phones. We are going to focus on this Google Pixel 10a, which was announced just a few days ago. If we take a look at your file on the Movistar websitewe can see how it will cost us 0 euros per month with both the ‘Premium Pack’ and the ‘Advanced Pack’, whether we are already customers or if it is a new registration. The mobile will be our 24 months, which can be extended for another 24 months. In all that time (4 years) we will not pay anything for the mobile and, when the term ends, we can keep the device by paying 1 euro. This phone has what it takes to be one of the best mid-range phones of 2026. This version, with 256 GB of capacity, will offer you a pure Android experience with seven years of guaranteed updates and a lot of AI from Gemini. In addition, it is compact, so it is perfect for you if you don’t like carrying a large cell phone with you. You have movies, series and football for less than 10 euros per month Beyond cell phones and other devices, we cannot lose sight of Movistar Plus+. You can hire it without having to have anything with Movistar and, furthermore, it does not have any type of permanence: you can try it for just one month and unsubscribe at any time. In fact, it’s a good time to give it a try now that tomorrow we will be able to see the great game Real Madrid-Benfica for alone 9.99 euros per month (although we can get it for only 39 euros per year if we have Cultural Bonus).

After a month of trying it the story is not so simple

by

When someone considers buying the Plaud Note Pro An inevitable question arises almost immediately: why isn’t it just an application? The doubt is not capricious. In recent years we have seen how the concept of “AI device” has surrounded itself with very high expectations and discreet results, with examples such as Humane AI Pin or the Rabbit R1 that did not convince. In this context, any new gadget powered by artificial intelligence has to justify its existence very well. The Plaud Note Pro aspires to do this from a clear focus: it does not want to replace the mobile phone, but rather to solve a specific need, that of recording, transcribing and structuring conversations. On paper its proposal is simple, but when we talk about spending almost 200 euros it is advisable to go beyond the technical sheet. That’s why our partner Ana Boria He has used it for a full month, with real meetings and everyday scenarios, to see if specialization is enough of an argument. The real test starts when you press the record button In the new video from Xataka’s YouTube channelAna shares her experience from the first contact. “It’s much smaller than I thought; “I had not seen it in person and it is very small,” he comments as soon as he takes it out of the box. That compact size is not a minor detail, because it is part of its approach: to always be at hand. Hence, one of the first aspects that stands out is its compatibility with MagSafe to attach it to the iPhone. “If you don’t have MagSafe, it comes with an adapter so you can always carry it attached to your phone,” he explains in those first impressions. The real test comes when you start recording. First, in an impromptu meeting. “I thought he was going to make mistakes and, although there is a little thing wrong with the names, he has captured the concept perfectly,” he says after reviewing the transcript. Then you subject it to a more demanding environment, with noise and several interlocutors speaking at the same time. It is in these types of situations where a recorder with AI demonstrates whether it really adds value compared to a simple app. The video also goes into issues that go beyond precision. The Plaud Note Pro promises to detect and transcribe meetings in 112 languagesbut what is relevant is how it behaves in Spanish and what happens with unusual terms or proper nouns. Added to this is the privacy section, a logical concern when it comes to personal or professional conversations. On that point, Ana points out: “It complies with a lot of measures and legislation to protect that information.” There is also a key element that determines the experience: the minute system. “I got a notice that I have a few minutes of recording left,” explains Ana, introducing one of the practical limits of the device. “The Plaud Note Pro costs 189 euros and includes an initial free plan of 300 minutes per month (about 5 hours). If you record many classes or meetings, they run out quickly,” he details. From there, the video analyzes the different plans available and which may be the most reasonable depending on the usage profile. In the end, the conclusion turns on its own nature. “Its greatest strength is simplicity and specialization“, he summarizes in the final section of the video, just before making some comments about the actual battery life. If you want to know all the nuances, strengths and limitations that he has encountered after a month of real use, You have the complete analysis on the Xataka YouTube channel.

Spain has been dealing with the weather in the United Kingdom for a month and a half. And that forces us to rethink how we build our roads

by

Roads closed, prohibited overtaking and new speed restrictions, landslides that are swept away by a moving car or potholes that become sinkholes with the continued passage of vehicles. The roads in Spain have suffered greatly with a month and a half in which a succession of storms has barely given any respite. But is the fault of the investments or is it that we are not prepared for this climate? Potholes, sinkholes and closed roads. We have experienced a beginning of 2026 where news of intense snowfalls and continued rains have accumulated. And that has had an impact on the way we move. In some cases, airports have been forced to stop their activitythe trains have stopped due to the wind and, on the road, we have had all kinds of problems. Videos have become popular on social networks where a string of cars suffers the consequences of a sinkhole. Or the statements of those who affirm that in the same service area they have had to rescue a good handful of cars due to blowouts as a result of the poor condition of the roads. There is information that points to all types of roads: those managed by the Statethose that are from autonomous ownership and those that are from municipal ownership. We have had complaints for everyone. An unexpected event. Beyond the money dedicated to our roads, what seems clear is that a perfect storm has occurred: roads that should be better maintained and a succession of storms for which our roads are not prepared. If we look back, in the first 40 days of the year it rained in Spain triple the average recorded between 1991 and 2020. The recorded figure not only confirms that the swamps have filledalso calls into question to what extent Spain is becoming in a rainy country. And, above all, how we can prepare for climate change with more extreme weather events, repeated more frequently and further away from the typical climate of our country. Are we prepared? The truth is that our roads are prepared for something else. In Spain, roads are based on the PG3 regulations that draws on the European guidelines. Most of them respond to the premises aimed at building roads in hot climates. In fact, the next category is for a “medium” thermal zone and the next is considered “temperate.” This is important because as I said Francisco José Lucas Ochoatechnical and business development director at Repsol in his Twitter account, some time ago, on these roads A bitumen is used that is harder and withstands high temperatures better.. In the wetter climates A softer bitumen is used, as in the United Kingdom, but this can soften and melt if it is very hot. Our disadvantage? Asphalt resists high temperatures better but is more fragile and breaks more easily. This structure on our road leaves us, in most of the country (because high mountain roads are slightly different), roads that are less permeable to the passage of water. And the main objective has never been to resist humidity, it has been to resist extreme heat and fatigue due to the passage of numerous vehicles, since Spain is the second country in Europe with the highest heavy vehicle traffic. What consequences does it have? Asphalts designed for dry climates that have to suffer constant punishment from rain and humidity are more likely to accumulate water and encourage aquaplaning. But when the absorption of water is continuousthe problems are bigger. If the soil receives a constant amount of water, there comes a point where the layers beneath the asphalt remain constantly moist. This alters its ability to distribute loads, which is essential when you have a more rigid or less elastic asphalt like ours. This limited distribution of loads favors the fracture of the upper layer, generating potholes that end up becoming sinkholes both due to the action of the vehicles themselves and the punishment inflicted by the constant fall of water, further delving into the depth of the hole that is exposed. In addition, the useful life of asphalt is limited. Where it doesn’t rain and where it does rain. The added problem is that this train of storms has left a lot of rain where the roads are directly designed to withstand intense vehicle traffic circulating in a dry and hot climate. Andalusia and Extremadura have faced rains typical of Cantabria but, curiously, in Cantabria it has barely rained. In United Kingdomwhere the problem of water on the road is a constant, the construction of roads plays with the porosity of the asphalt, with the aim of making the soil capable of absorbing as much water as possible. A technique that is applied to the surface itself but in which the ditches are also taken into account so that the accumulated water does not infiltrate and, as we said, change the ideal load distribution. This type of asphalt is limited in Spain to very specific areaswith limited traffic and low risk of snow and smelt. In cold and humid climatesFor example, they have to deal with asphalt that is also more rigid but without losing sight of the accumulation of water. There the problem is not so much the latter as it is the formation of ice and the passage of vehicles equipped with studded tires on depending on which roads. If the road were as porous as in the United Kingdom, water would accumulate in the small gaps in the road surface and freeze, turning the road into a skating rink. Is there a solution? Yes and it seems to be underway. From 2021the Center for Studies and Experimentation of Public Works (CEDEX) coordinates the Transversal Working Group on Climate Change and Resilience in Roads. This group is analyzing the current situation of Spanish roads and infrastructure such as bridges, tunnels or aqueducts and what investments must be made to adapt them to the new meteorological reality of our country. Furthermore, in collaboration with CEDEX … Read more

that of “50,000 Russians a month” or giving Moscow what it wants

by

Throughout history, the cold has acted as a silent weapon that has changed the course of entire wars: in 1812, the Russian winter destroyed Napoleon’s army during their retreat from Moscow, causing more casualties than many battles. In the Winter War From 1939-1940, Finland used extreme temperatures and frozen terrain to hold back a vastly superior Soviet Union force, and in World War II, the winter of 1941 paralyzed the German troops at the gates of Moscow. In all cases, the cold accelerated defeats, collapsed logistics and forced decisions that were not in the original plan. Something similar is starting to happen in Ukraine. The cold as an accelerator of war. Winter has turned war into a race against time because extreme temperatures amplify the impact of each Russian attack against energy infrastructureforcing entire cities to live without heat, electricity or water for days or weeks. With minimal close to −20 °C In many enclaves, each damaged power plant, each destroyed substation or each prolonged blackout is no longer just a technical problem but is a military and political factor that shortens the margins of resistance and pushes us to make decisions that are increasingly harsh and unthinkable until recently. Energy as a goal. Since winter began in the war, Moscow has had clear your objective. Russia has systematically hit power plants, thermal plants and distribution networks again, knowing that the damage is cumulative and that repairing under constant bombing is almost as expensive as rebuilding. Ukraine, for its part, has avoided a total collapse of the system thanks to quick repairs, generators and management increasingly flexiblebut the price is enormous: buildings without heat for weeks, networks saturated when the power returns and an exhausted population that lives pending of blackout and shelter schedules improvised. Kamikaze logic. In this context, an unprecedented idea appears strongly, kyiv’s most extreme bet: to accelerate the war by attrition until it becomes unbearable for Moscow. The government has explained that the idea of ​​causing up to 50,000 Russian casualties per month It is not proposed as a slogan, but as an explicit attrition strategy to force a negotiation based on the opponent’s weakness. If you will, it is a flight forward that assumes that, if the war cannot be slowed down and winter multiplies the suffering, the only way out is to drastically raise the human cost for Russiaeven knowing that Ukraine will also pay a very high price. The limits of the war of attrition. This strategy clashes with clear structural problems: lack of infantry, shortage of drone operators and a technological competition in which Russia has cut advantagesespecially in electronic warfare and fiber optic drones. As many analysts point out, prioritizing the constant elimination of enemy soldiers can give tactical results, but it does not always solve the key problem of operating depththat is, the Russian ability to continue moving troops, ammunition and drones from the rear while the front remains stable. The invisible front. In Insider told that the cutting off of Russian access to satellite communications systems via Starlink has shown the extent to which modern warfare depends on connectivity. The interruption has generated specific disorganization in Russian units and has been celebrated in Ukraine as a key advantage, although it has also affected its own and civilian users, demonstrating that each technological gain is very fragile and requires constant management. In the middle of winter, any added failure in communications or coordination translates directly into more casualties and more chaos. The unthinkable idea. As military and climate pressure accumulates wildly, I told a few days ago the new york times that a growing part of Ukrainian society start to contemplate through surveys what was previously little more than a taboo: accepting territorial concessions in exchange for firm security guarantees. It is not yet a majority, nor even a decision made by the leadership, but the simple fact that it is being discussed reflects the extent to which the cold, blackouts and a war with no clear end are forcing a profound rethinking about what it means to win or simply survive. A dilemma pushed by winter. What seems abundantly clear is that the scheme that emerges is hard and lacking in epic some: winter is literally freezing the population Ukrainian, and its effect is accelerating the war and narrowing the options. Thus, Ukraine seems pushed to choose between maximally intensifying the kamikaze logic of the “50,000 Russians a month” to force a quick outcome or accept territorial concessions to stop the destruction before another winter just as bad or even worse. The cold does not decide on its own, there is no doubt, but it does act as the factor that has turned an already long and exhausting war into an urgent decision.

$7,500 a month, but also marathon days

Jeff Bezos paid about 500 million dollars for his yacht koru 125 meters long, and Mark Zuckerberg almost 300 million of dollars for your launchpad of 118 meters. It is estimated that, on average, the annual maintenance cost of these superyachts is from 10% annual of its price initial, so the bill to keep these luxury vessels afloat ranges between 20 and 50 million dollars a year. Within that budget Something essential for its operation must also be taken into account: a crew. In a recent video that yacht stewardess Florencia Mainet, better known as @florstewardesstold what her salary was as a head hostess and the high salaries charged in the sector. $7,500 a month. According to Mainet in one of his videosfor her work as chief steward on board a luxury yacht, she received a remuneration of about $7,500 a month, with a schedule from eight in the morning to four in the afternoon. As indicated in an interview for Infobaehis role as head of the hostesses was to organize the meals, drinks, activities and cleaning tasks that his team had to carry out. “It requires attention to detail, discretion, organization and a great service orientation,” commented Mainet. Life on board. However, Mainet acknowledges that “as a crew member, a day on board can vary greatly. It depends on whether there are guests or not,” and that is the key: whether the yacht owner makes intensive use of it or not. Mallorcan Esmée Yntema is also a yacht stewardess and, through your TikTok account his life on board luxury superyachts and the day-to-day work on board. As shown in his videos, the work on board the yacht is constant, but when the owner announces his arrival all the alarms go off because everything must be prepared to receive him. While the owner is on board, breaks are sporadic and the days extend beyond the 12 or 13 hours a day in which the crew’s rhythms of life are, basically, those marked by the owner. “The days are long. We practically start shortly before the clients arrive until they go to sleep,” said Yntema. The harshness of the high season. Something that Mainet, Yntema and someone else agree on. another testimony on networksis that during the high sailing season, the days are exhausting and the feeling of isolation and lack of communication on board puts the mental health of the workers to the test. In fact, Yntema put her career on hold for a few months “for the good of my mental health,” according to an interview published by last minute. “People think that on board a luxury yacht everything is glamorous but in reality, for the staff, it is very different,” said the stewardess. Mainet assures that salaries in the sector start at $4,500 for inexperienced yacht hostesses, but he also recognizes that life on board requires many sacrifices and one gives up being present at many family events due to having to be sailing. All-inclusive salary. As Mainet indicates, the monthly salary is full because it includes accommodation on the yacht itself. As shown in one of his videos Yntema, the accommodation consists of sharing a small cabin with a companion and a bathroom of just two square meters that also serves as a shower. However, one of the positive things that both hostesses highlight is that, in the food section, the meals are provided by professional chefs who prepare luxury dishes for both the owners and the crew. Sporadic luxury. Another advantage of working aboard a luxury yacht that both professionals highlight is that, in the few moments of rest they have during their day during the high season, but especially during the low season or when the owner is not on board, they can enjoy living aboard a luxury yacht and visit the best tourist destinations around the world during your day off. Feeling millionaires, even if it is in experiences. In Xataka | Under the infinity pools of luxury cruise ships there is no rest: 80-hour days seven days a week Image | Unsplash (Michael Worden)

we have to get to the month of March no matter what

by

Russia has intensified a strategy of attrition that aims less to gain ground than to disrupt daily life, and it has done so hitting the energy system Ukrainian to leave the country without electricity, without heating and without basic services at the cruelest time of the year. Faced with Moscow’s missiles, kyiv has called in a group of kamikaze hunters with a very clear plan. The terror ends. It we count last week. With temperatures plummeting to -20ºC and a network already weakened by months of attacks, waves of missiles and drones they seek to collapse substations, electrical infrastructure and nodes that sustain urban heat, and there is even fear of a more precise campaign against points that feed to nuclear plants. The goal it’s simple: turn the cold into political pressure, erode civil resistance and push kyiv towards a negotiation under torment, just when the United States tries to open a diplomatic path. The result is a country forced to live in survival modewith blackouts that last for days in some districts, thousands of buildings without heat in the capital, schools closed and citizens who, unable to leave, endure in dark and frozen homes, wrapped in blankets, with candles, camping burners and a shared feeling that the front is no longer only in the trenches, but also in the living room. Heat, water and normality under minimums. In cities like kyiv, the blow is especially dangerous because the heating depends on centralized systems that distribute hot water from cogeneration plants, and when the supply is cut off in the middle of the ice, the risk is not only of being cold, but also of the pipes freezing and bursting, causing flooding when the service returns. That is why the authorities have come to recommend draining circuits in thousands of buildings, accepting temporary cold weather to avoid a major disaster, while repairs are made slow and difficult by the weather and repeated attacks. Searching for fire. Life is reorganized around of heat points: public centers where people take shelter, charge mobile phones and receive hot food, and extraordinary solutions such as adapted trains as mobile hubs to warm up and regain some autonomy. Even so, they remembered in Forbes What is most striking is the obstinacy of normality: businesses operating with generatorsneighborhoods that resist in the dark, families improvising routines and a society that, instead of becoming anesthetized, tangibly feels again what it means to sustain a country at war when the temperature turns each blackout into a physical threat. Air saturation. Russian pressure is not only more constant, it is also more massive, and its strength resides in the volume: The number of attack drones has escalated to exceed 5,000 a monthwhich is equivalent to more than 150 every nighta figure designed to deplete defenses and force Ukraine to choose what saves and what doesn’t. Although the interception rate stays highthe strategic cost is enormous because shooting down swarms with surface-to-air missiles or aviation weapons consumes scarce and very expensive resources at an unsustainable speed. Zelensky himself has warned that there are systems that run out of ammunition. Mobile teams with autocannons and machine guns provide useful and relatively cheap defense, but its scope is limited and they can only protect specific points, such as a power plant, leaving too many gaps for an enemy who strikes and repeats the pattern every night. In that equation, the “thermal terror” It does not depend on destroying everything, but on having enough impacts so that the system does not raise its head and the population can’t rest. The kamikaze “hunters”. The Ukrainian response is coming through a route more adapted to this new mass war: interceptor drones small, fast and cheapconceived like disposable hunters capable of taking down Shaheds from a distance without burning a missile for each target. They are a evolution of the FPV ecosystembut oriented towards pure performance, with “bullet” type designs and industrial logic looking for volume: different models, several suppliers, accelerated production and a cost per unit that allows you to take risks without mortgaging the arsenal. Its effectiveness is maximized by launching more than one per whitejust as is done with expensive interceptors when the priority is to ensure the downing before the drone reaches a substation or thermal plant, which requires manufacturing many more interceptors than enemy drones. Aid. And yet, what seemed impossible a few months ago is beginning to sound viable: manufacturing has been triggered and, with allied supportUkraine is reaching a scale that It is no longer symbolicbut operational, to the point that interceptors are becoming protagonists of night demolitions and claiming a growing share of the work that previously fell on missiles. Hold on until March. The strategic sense of these interceptors is not only to shoot down drones, but to open a window of timebecause Ukraine will not be able to rebuild or stabilize its energy network as long as it continues receiving daily blows on the same critical points. The winter war is decided, therefore, in the ability to reduce the impact leak enough to repair without the repair being destroyed the next day, and in maintaining morale when the cold punishes as much as the enemy. Russia bets on fatigue and despairwhile Ukraine does it for a defense cheaper and massive that allows it to resist the peak of winter demand and reach the temperate spring season with the system alive. If the Russian plan is to push a country into a dark age of ice and blackouts, the Ukrainian response is to build, urgently and with war engineering, an aerial barrier made of kamikaze hunters that not only protect transformers, but buy something much more valuable: time not to break (or freeze).

one where we pay 20 dollars a month (if we pay) and another where companies pay up to 200 per employee

by

The AI ​​industry is forking into two paths. They are non-binary and actors can be in both at the same time, but it was expected that we would see this branching: Products aimed at the general consumer. ChatGPT wins there and Gemini is growing lately. Tools for companies. Gemini and Copilot from Microsoft stand out more there, but Anthropic is growing a lot thanks to Claude Code. This division also marks something else: who is going to capture the real economic value of AI. Why is it important. Companies pay up to $200 per month per employee for the best model. ChatGPT “domestic” users, one tenth. And in business environments, the difference between the best and the second best matters a lot. At least much more than in domestic environments. Yao Shunyu, who worked at OpenAI and is now at Tencent, sums it up: “If your salary is $200,000 and you have 10 tasks a day, an excellent model does eight or nine. A weaker model does five or six. And when you don’t know what those five or six are, you waste time monitoring it.” according to the newsletter ChinaTalk. The contrast. “If you compare the Today’s ChatGPT with the one from a year agothere’s really no perceptible difference,” Yao points out. “On the other hand, AI-assisted programming has already changed the entire coding industry. “People no longer write code, they talk to their computer in natural language.” Most ordinary people still use ChatGPT as a kind of enhanced search engine. In companies, more intelligence directly means more productivity with a clear economic value. Between the lines. Anthropic has bet everything on this. Claude Code has changed the way developers work. And now just launched Coworkwhich seeks to bring that same idea to office workers, outside of programming. They are not going after occasional users: they want entire teams that depend on AI to work. OpenAI dominates in adoption figures and brand recognition, but it has a problem: many users who pay little on average. Companies are increasingly looking for tools that truly improve productivity. The threat. In the business market, whoever has the best model wins. Companies will always pay for number one if its price is comparable to the rest of the proposals.
