That the mobile is updated is a long -awaited moment, but for my mother it is a nuisance. And the worst thing is right

by

“Nena, look at the mobile phone that I don’t know what happened that everything has changed. I can’t find anything,” said my mother just a few days ago. I looked at my mobile and understood what was happening, Your mobile had been updated. They are two very different realities: what would be a reason for joy for me is an awkward moment. This has made me consider that there are enough reasons to update may not be something positive. What if you are right? When updates are a nuisance In my family all They turn to me when they need to be configured by a deviceI am something like “the computer niece.” It is not the first time that An update causes the bewilderment of my relatives, especially the older ones. Every time a new one arrives, especially if it is a larger update of Android, I know that it awaits me a good time of: “I had that otherwise” and “you have changed everything.” Even if there is every time More elderly connectedthe generational digital divide It is a reality. In the case of my parents, they are handled quite well sailing and using different devices, but his Kriptonite They are the changes and if they are unexpected even worse. When the mobile is updated, the design of the icons or the arrangement of the menus changes, this causes a Rupture in muscle memory. It has also happened to me when reorganizing my home screen and wanting to open an app, but not find it. I have got used to quickly, but it is true that at first it is a nuisance. For my parents, spending time to learn the new interface and configure the new functions is an unnecessary complication. Beyond fear of change There are people fleeing updates for other reasons. If something has taught us history is that Sometimes updating is not a good idea. There have been few cases of Updates that have gone wrong. On the iPhone 15 Pro, Apple admitted that An iOS 17 bug was causing them to heat more than normal and another update made the iPhone restart unexpectedly. It has also passed on Android, like when The update to One UI 6.1 did not feel good to some Samsung Galaxy or when OnePlus had to stop an update Because I was full of errors. Image: Xataka Android Then there is the problem of old mobiles. In Android, Update support has improved a lotbut lower ranges mobiles do not usually go from the two years of updates. And it makes sense since many times the new versions make the hardware work more and that translates into performance falls or batteries that last a sigh. Apple starred in a controversial sound after admitting that reduced the performance of the oldest iPhone intentionallysupposedly to protect the battery life. Many people are expected to update major versions until they are sure that they are not causing errors like the ones we have mentioned. Even There are those who avoid updating completely. It is not the most recommended since Many contain crucial security patchesbut The tendency not to update exists, And it does not only come for fear of change or older people. The hype has been deflanding I remember a few years ago We constantly talked about the problem of Android fragmentation. It is a problem that Still therebut it seems that It is no longer the drama of yesteryear. As we said, manufacturers have greatly improved their update support and Offer seven years is already becoming a standard. Another factor that has influenced is the European law that dictates that mobiles and tablets They must be updated for at least five years. Image: Xataka Android In the case of iOS, the platform I have used for years, we do not have the problem of fragmentation, but in general there has been a tendency to More continuous updates that did not bring many striking changes. We have matured as users, he Jailbreak It has become fashionable and he root In Android it sounds like a thing of the past. In general, the desire we had to install the newest and customize our mobile phones to the extreme has been deflating. Suddenly I’m my mother The Liquid Glass of iOS interface 26. Image: Ricardo Aguilar for Xataka Apple wants us to get excited again with iOS 26, which with the Liquid Glass interface supposes The biggest design change from iOS 7there is nothing. The first time I saw her It caused me rejection; I think that transparent icons lose the essence of what has always been iOS, not to mention that I have serious doubts that readability is good. Some time ago I would have installed the beta on my personal mobile, in a kamikaze plan, but I have not done it. With the final update when I fall, I realize that It doesn’t make me very excited Have to “learn” the new interface. In the end my mother will be right.

the mother of all the ships ro-ro

The SAIC company is one of the most powerful in the Chinese automotive industry and MG ownersone of the best -selling brands in Spain. And, just one year after the inaugural trip of His previous Megabarcothey have a new Trojan horse to continue flooding Europe with their cars. It’s called Anji Ansheng, and it’s a mole with space for up to 9,500 MG cars. Need. The Chinese manufacturers They have been expanding to other territories for years, but it has been more recently when large firms have begun to invade external markets. Europe is one of the most sweet customers of these companies (despite tariffs), but also We have Latin America in the equation. Although some Chinese brands already begin to harvest the fruits of your strategy of Factories abroadmost continue to export large volumes from China. In the case of SAIC, in 2024 they reached the brand of more than 5.5 million vehicles distributed in external markets And, during the SShanghai International Auto Alon This year, they announced the beginning of phase 3.0 of their strategy to launch 17 new models abroad. That implies that they need to carry many, many cars by boat from their Factories in China And Thailand, and that is where his new ro-ro comes into play. New Saic Anji. Baptized Like Anji Ansheng, we are talking about a monster that has become the world’s largest bake. That honor was the Changsha Byd 219 meters in length, 37.7 meters wide and capacity for 9,200 cars. The Anji Ansheng exceeds everything with a 228 -meter length, a 37.8 -meter sleeve and a whopping 9,500 cars. These dimensions and, above all, their capacity, leave the anhi sincerity and its capacity for 7,600 cars in the background. The ANSHENG is currently making its inaugural trip to Europe with several thousand MG in its interior parking colossal, with the aim of exceeding 243,400 cars sold in Europe by the company during 2024. One more. Within how imposing the new ship is, it is a piece in the SAIC strategy for Continue exporting cars. The company has 35 ships focused on that vehicle transport, among which there are 11 river ships to carry cars from interior factories to large international ports, 9 ocean ships for national trade and 15 for foreign trade. The plans are expansionists and, facing next year, Saic wants to have 22 ships for foreign trade to reinforce routes in Western Europe and the Mediterranean, but also to prop up markets such as Southeast Asia, Australia, New Zealand, the Middle East, South America and Mexico. There they will have to compete against the national cheap cars. And the competition? It is not far behind, of course. Like Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia they are immersed in the Battle of skyscrapersSaic and Byd are involved in the battle to see who creates a larger car transport ship. As we say, Byd with his Changsha was the one who was at the head of this particular competition, but although Saic has created a larger ship, the strategy of his great Chinese rival also takes into account the size of his fleet. Because Changsha is the Shenzhen twin, and the idea is that three other twin ships are added to the fleet throughout the coming months, thus counting with five really huge ships that will have the capacity to Place more than 67,000 cars Out of China. Your goal? Being not only the brand that sells the most in China, but to overcome Chery and Saic, and precisely having a fleet of your own ships is one of the keys to these companies. One of the byd beasts They do not depend on paying rent for ships, it is cheaper to send cars outside their borders and it is the mode of, Despite tariffscontinue to maintain a constant flow of vehicles in the foreign market at very competitive prices. And it only remains to land the rest of the brands. Xiaomi included. Images | Byd, Saic In Xataka | Europe has focused on stopping Chinese electric cars.

by

The DGT has made its new Custom Teleenteption Servicea proposal that comes with the aim of serving citizens of rural areas without the need for traffic administrations to be attended in person. Teruel has been the first municipality to release the service and serve as a pilot test, having attended according to the DGT to more than 1,200 Turolenses since its implementation in 2023. Everything is born from … the lack of personnel. The Provincial Headquarters of Teruel suffered a serious shortage of personnel, to the point that its citizen service section was about to close. To avoid this, some officials devised an alternative: a system of attention by Videoconference that allow citizens to carry out procedures without having to go to the Headquarters, using a point enabled in their own City Council.

These points will allow citizens to connect with a DGT official by video call, being able to complete any type of application. One of the keys is that it will not be necessary to have electronic certificate, Electronic DNI o Registration in the Cl@VE system. We will only need our DNI, NIE or passport to complete the procedures. The point of attention is equipped with: Double -sided scanner to digitize documents. DNI reader with contactless technology. Payment terminal to pay fees and efforts. If the experience in Alcañiz is positive, the DGT plans to extend this service nationwide, thus facilitating access to its services in localities with less resources. A POOL FOR ADMINISTRATION. The inhabitants of the Rural Teruel now have a new way of carrying out procedures of the DGT from the City Council terminal, without the need to go to the traffic leaders. They are not the only beneficiaries. DGT itself admits that the implementation of these terminals implies a service model with positive effects in terms of saving and optimization of resources.
