As of today, ATMs are also a revolution thing. Fintech launches its first physical network, and starts with Spain

by

Which It started as a way to send and spend money Without commissions, a bank has ended up looking more and more. Revolutionwhich ten years ago was born in the United Kingdom as an app designed to simplify finances, it has become One of the most valuable Fintech in the sector. And his last play makes it clear: his own ATMs. Yes, ATMs. An idea that would have been difficult to fit in its early years, when it was unmarked from the traditional. But now it is a reality. The former will arrive in Spain, and not anywhere: the debut will be in the Spring Sound from Barcelonawhich starts today and extends until June 8. Spain, Revolution’s first physical laboratory. The company has chosen Spain to release its first physical product: a network of ATMs developed entirely in its Techhub in Barcelona. According to Revolution, the initial phase includes 50 terminals between Madrid and Barcelona, ​​which will be expanded until reaching 200 throughout the country. The former will be located at large points such as Avinguda Diagonal or Toledo Street, and can be located from the app by an interactive map. Barcelona’s choice is not accidental. The city not only houses one of the strategic development centers of the company, but also represents, according to the company itself, a key piece in its European expansion map. In fact, Revolution plans to take this network to other countries such as Germany, Italy or Portugal from 2026. Happy ATMs for a digital customer. The new ATMs do not look like the usual. They are designed with a modern interface, touch navigation, compatibility with contactless payments and multilingual support. They also offer functions designed to reduce friction: withdrawals without additional commissions for Revolution clients and immediate delivery of physical cards. Free withdrawals will be available both nationally and internationally and intra -Europe. For non -customers, the service will also be available “with a competitive commission.” In addition, Revolution plans to incorporate in the future the dynamic conversion option of currency (DCC), which will allow you to choose between the exchange rate of the emitter bank or that of Revolution at the time of withdrawal. And he will not remain in retired. The company also plans to enable cash deposits in later phases, thus expanding the range of accessible services from these physical points. The physical step of a 100 % digital experience. In the words of Manjot Bhati, Operating Partner of Revolution, “to launch our own ATMs network a decisive step in our mission of offering a truly global financial experience and without friction.” As we can see, with this movement, Fintech seeks to expand its footprint beyond the app. It is not a minor change. Revolut was born as a 100 % digital actor, without physical offices or windows. His commitment to their own ATMs suggests a new stage: one in which the physical does not contradict digital, but complements it. A stage where the cashier is no longer just an cash machine. We will have to see if this movement translates into a new success. Images | Aleksandrs Karevs In Xataka | Revolution is not just a threat to traditional banks. Now it is also for Teleoperators

In case we had not had enough problems in the electricity network, a “severe” solar storm has come to complicate it

by

The closeness of the Pico de Activity of the last solar cycle implies stirred times in the field of “spatial meteorology.” And we have seen one of the most important during these days, a “severe” geomagnetic storm caused by this activity. Geomagnetic storm. The last two days have been days of “intense” solar activity. The geomagnetic storm has reached a Kp = 8 index, which implies that it has been a “severe” storm, from G4 category (On a scale that goes to G5). The value of the index has descended since then: the last data offered by the NOAA spatial meteorological prediction (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) indicates that the value Average Index KP In the last three hours it has been kp = 6. Despite this, spatial time is still scrambled and According to forecasts He will continue to be until tomorrow. An ejection of coronal mass. According to He explained yesterday The Spanish Space Agency through a statement, the origin of this activity is in a high -speed coronal mass ejection (CME), associated solar fulguration of class M8.2 and with origin in the Ar4100 active region. KP 8. What does that mean of kp = 8? The K Geomagnetic Index measures disruptions in the land magnetic field and is used to characterize the magnitude of geomagnetic storms, especially through the planetary index K or KP Index. The latter uses a series of magnetometers distributed in stations located in various parts of the planet. The indices above kp = 5 are associated with a specific degree in the geomagnetic storm scale Employed by the NOAA SWPC, being G1 (minor) the smallest category on the scale and G5 (extreme) the category that denotes the strongest storms, those of index Kp = 9. A G4 storm. The storm recorded on Sunday, with a Kp = 4 index led the center to alert a “severe” or G4 geomagnetic storm. In your noticethe SWPC pointed out that, in addition to intense northern lights and lower latitudes than usual, possible impacts on infrastructure and networks, including problems with satellites and loss of precision in the GPS. The Category events They usually imply possible problems with voltage control that can also cause “mitigable” problems in electrical networks. At space vehicles, the SWPC indicates that these storms are associated with possible monitoring problems that require future corrections. Finally, other possible impacts are on the spread of HF radio signals and low frequency radio navigation. An active solar cycle. The situation has stabilized With ups and downs And, although the last one average three -hour data from the KP index is 6, the SWPC has already reduced the intensity of the storm to G1, or minor storm. The last months have been revolts as far as spatial meteorology is concerned. In October 2024, A similar situation He brought spectacular dawn. According to estimates From the experts we are already after the peak of activity of solar cycle 25, but we have not yet moved away much so the solar activity remains intense. Perhaps this is not the last storm of these characteristics that we see in the coming months. In Xataka | We have detected the exact date on which the most brutal solar storm occurred in history.

This Star Wars fans website seems totally harmless. Actually it is part of a CIA network to recruit spies

by

In 2010, the Star Wars website – Beyond the Unknown, which was in the Starwarsweb.net domain, was pure Internet fan of the time. Hórrido design for current standards, visual chaos and very biased content towards the point of view of the fans … at the time. That is, perhaps something naive for current criteria. However, after it an operation orchestrated by the CIA was hidden to communicate with its agents. An unusual purpose with the best possible cover. Force communication. The main purpose of StarWarsweb.net, which today directly redirects To the CIA websiteIt was covert communication with informants from other countries. But the Iranian authorities discovered, just over a decade ago, that the website was part of an entire network of CIA sites. The consequence of that discovery was a wave of deaths of informants of the CIA (approximately two dozen) in China in the early 2010s. Espionage network. The fan of security issues Ciro Santilli (Owner of a website that is also pure Feeling of the internet of the twentieth century), began to investigate in the case, among other things, for its interest in Chinese politics and for monitoring the operations of the CIA in countries such as yours, Brazil. He tried to find out what these camouflaged websites were and owned by the American Intelligence Agency, and It was he who reached the fan of Star Wars among othersand whose themes were from tributes to actors such as the American comedian Johnny Carson to meteorology or sports pages. They were in up to 29 different languages ​​and remained active between 2004 and 2013. The IP of the CIA. Santilli discovered which websites belonged to the CIA network, but the journalistic research that uncovered these activities gave rise to An Yahoo News 2018 article. Also, above all, to a 2022 reuters dossier entitled “American spies to use and throw“And that started from the deaths of the agents in Iran to get rid of the story. It is counted in the text, other CIA errors that compromised the coverings were the IP addresses of the siteswhich were sequential. Discovering one was possible to find other websites of the same network. Fans work. This is just an example of the multiple errors made by the CIA in the 885 web pages that made up the network, as he found out Another group of researchers After the Reuters investigation came to light. For example, these spoke of “outdated technology, even for their time”: the communication mechanisms between spies and the CIA were programmed in JavaScript or Flash, which offered very few security guarantees. And a pinch of extortion. However, the most scandalous case of the case is not, obviously, a ugly and outdated ‘Star Wars’ website, but the methods used by the CIA to recruit the spies explained by Reuters: “After an Iranian delivered a request (through the websites), diplomatic officials had instructions to examine whether their work history or their family ties could make them valuable. promising applicant could receive a phone call asking him to return to the consulate to answer more detailed questions. “ From there, the meetings became more and more demanding and “for when Iranian realized that he had given information to an intelligence agent, the involuntary informant had already revealed that they could lead to jail.” In Xataka | The CIA created decades ago the perfect guide to sabotage economies. Today is a lesson for any company

The great digital achievement of Spain has been to raise the best fiber network in Europe

by

This Tuesday Spain definitely closes a 140 -year -old chapter. Telefónica has announced the shutdown of its last 661 copper centralsforever burying the technology that vertebó the communications of the twentieth century. But real history is not the funeral of copper, but Spain has become a European leader in connectivity. Why is it important. While other European countries continue to debate when to migrate from copper, Spain has already completed that transition. Telefónica is the first great operator of the continent to completely close its copper network. The rest of Europe looks at us from behind. In figures. The numbers deny the myth of Spanish technological backwardness. Spain is The third OECD country with greater fiber optic penetration. The fiber lines represent 89.3% of the total fixed broadband. The network reaches 80 million accesses installed in a country of 49 million inhabitants. The trick: homes are included but also local, in addition to many duplicates among operators. Only South Korea and Japan overcome us in some indicators. France, Germany or the United Kingdom are behind FTTH coverage. In FTTB, Spain leads Europe After years only behind Iceland. The panoramic. Since 2014, Spain has dismantled 8,532 copper centrals in a huge logistics operation. Has migrated 99.99% of customers Without leaving them without service. It has recycled 65,000 tons of cable and saved 1,000 gigawatt energy, according to company sources cited by Five days. All while building an infrastructure that covers 94% of the population. Including rural areas that place us far ahead of other European countries in rural coverage. Between the lines. The Spanish transformation has gone unnoticed because it coincided with years of economic crisis and with the perennial complex of national technological inferiority. It is true that we are light years from the United States or China in terms of large technological ones, but we have built the best telecommunications infrastructure in Europe. The optical fiber is 90% more energy efficient than copper and multiplies speeds. A fiber plant serves to the same number of accesses as four copper centrals occupying only 15% of the space. The money trail. Telefónica has converted the transition into business. The sale and recycling of the retired copper has been an extra income of about 1,000 million euros, taking advantage of the revaluation of the metal. Yes, but. Copper does not disappear completely from the Spanish map. More than two million customers are still connected by coaxial cable using HFC technology (fiber-coaxial hybrid). They are mainly of operators such as Vodafone or Euskaltel. It is not the same copper as the ADSL that has just died, but technically it is still copper that carries the signal to the home. The difference: this coaxial coexists with the fiber in a hybrid network that offers speeds far superior to the old telephone copper pair. Deepen. The Spanish fiber revolution is no accident. It started when the Spanish regulator liberalized the market and forced Telefónica to share its infrastructure. The competition between operators accelerated the deployment. Now that infrastructure will be the basis for the next generations of mobile networks, the Internet of things and future technologies to develop. Spain has built a digital infrastructure prepared for the future.

An orbital computing network designed for AI

by

Just a few minutes after noon on May 14, a Long March 2D rocket took off from Jiuquan’s launch center with an ambitious objective: to put into orbit the first 12 satellites of the “Three-Body” computer constellation. It is the official beginning of which China presents as the first supercomputing network distributed in space, a movement that marks a before and after in the race to move artificial intelligence beyond traditional data centers. A scale jump: from data centers to space. The constellation, led by Zhejiang Lab and developed in collaboration with the company Guoxing Yuhang (Ada Space), is part of the so -called “Star Computing Plan”. This first mission, called 021, has placed in the same orbit 12 smart satellites with names that honor Chinese cities such as Neijiang, Haikou or Taizhou. Each of them is equipped with an intelligent calculation system and laser connectivity up to 100 GB/s to form an interconnected orbital network. According to the official information published by the Chinese Government and collected by media like Xinhuathese first satellites total a capacity of 5 pops (peta-operations per second) and have in conjunction of 30 TB of storage on board. What are pops? HkexNews explains that 1 pops equals a four -year period (10^15) of operations per second. China’s goal is to deploy a constellation that, According to the information that Spacenews managescould reach 2,800 satellites, with a total capacity of 1,000 POPs. An orbit laboratory. Each satellite has a space computer developed by Zhejiang Lab, with a capacity of up to 744 tops (thera-operations per second) per unit. In addition, they are accompanied by a model of 8,000 million parameters, specially designed to operate directly into orbit. This allows real -time data processing tasks without the need to send all the information to land stations. Use cases: from natural disasters to astronomical science. The satellites They are designed To offer very specific services: Gamma ray detection, generation of 3D digital twins of entire regions, remote observation with processing on board and monitoring of natural phenomena. One of them even includes an x ​​-ray polarimeter Developed by the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the University of Guangxi, designed to detect Gamma explosions and activate in second coordinated observations with other missions. Besides, According to Ada Space herselfthe data collected will also serve for civil applications such as emergencies, immersive video games and smart tourism. A orbital cloud under sovereign control. Behind the deployment there is a geostrategic ambition: build a spatial computing infrastructure under Chinese control that combines global coverage with energy efficiency and low latency. Unlike land data centers, satellites can use solar energy continuously and do not require active cooling systems. What’s coming: more power, more satellites. Ada Space has already confirmed that is working on a second generation of satellites with even more power. The objective is clear: validate the computing architecture distributed in orbit, climb it and turn it into the nucleus of a space cloud capable of operating large -scale AI models without depending on the terrestrial infrastructure.

We have a hard time differentiating a banana from a banana. And an illegal network was taking advantage of it in Spain

by

Although for years the Spanish public has trained to know how to differentiate between a banana and a banana, the truth is that it is not easy. The best example has just given us the Civil Guard. Or, rather, the Alicante company that It is being investigated for spending more than 2,000 tons of banana imported by banana of the protected geographical indication of the Canary Islands banana. And that only in 2023. A millionaire fraud uncovered by a breath. Because since 2021 the company in question It was part of one of the six official marketing entities of the Association of Organizations of bananas producers of the Canary Islands (ASPROCAN). And if they have caught them, it was because a third sent an email to the association with A video in which it was seen The operators will unveil Bananas de Madeira and put them “on the tape where they are automatically packaged and labeled” with the distinctives of the Canarian banana. Is it difficult to identify each other? Yes and no. Indeed there are substantive differences between bananas and bananas. The former are smaller: 135.5 grams on average compared to 237.7 and about 15 cm compared to about 20 of the second. In addition, their curvature is much more evident, their flesh is more yellow and, of course, they have motites on the skin. For the rest, although there are densities in flavor, texture, caloric density and Other nutrients and organoleptic properties, They are very little significant. It is controversial to say it, but the truth is that the main difference between them are its geographical origin: the banana is Canary and the banana is usually cultivated in Africa and Latin America. That origin is important because it gives the product of certain peculiarities (which go beyond the nutritional and even arrive At the time of maturation in plant), but they are not enough to avoid problems and confusion. That is why IGP has been investing so much in ensuring its main market: Spanish. In the middle of the nightmare. According to what has transcended, the illegal network was working precisely during what It has been known as the ‘great nightmare’. From January 2023 to October 2024, only in three months of the 22 the banana had a price that we could call profitable. But that is a problem only for producers. The plot, making banana (considerably cheaper) by banana, had a very considerable margin. It was an almost perfect scam. From the Canary Islands they ask for traceability. And it makes sense: the Canarian banana is not just a fruit, it is all An industrial policy for the islands that has mechanisms regional, national and community in their favor. For years they have worked on ‘techniques’ for consumers to identify them easily (such as the famous sticker): you cannot leave the market to stop trusting them. The problem goes further, of course. The reality of the Canary Islands banana, such as that of most Spanish agriculture It is complicated: we talk about a perfectly greased industry, but that has long lived under regulations that came good. The opening of international markets and the arrival of fierce competition have made clear something that we had suspected for a long time: that our agricultural sector is A giant with mud feet and that if we want to remain leaders, we will have to make important decisions. We will have to do it sooner rather than later. Image | Pepelopex | Steve Hopson In Xataka | We go to the most expensive chocolate in history: how the cocoa crisis will shoot its price

The “gastrocringe” is taking over the network

Gastronomic exhibitionism videos have been placing social networks for a while.

It is a coined term By chef Julián Otero to define the latest trends in videos, where they meet Influencersgrotesque food and waste glutton, everything to feed (precisely) an algorithm that knows how to appeal to our most basic instincts. Gastrocringethe phenomenon. We are facing a term invented by chef Julián Otero, of the R&D team of the Mugaritz restaurant (Errentería, Gipuzkoa) and that, from his Instagram account, Puebla his Stories of countless examples of Influencers and businesses that propose a cartoon approach and, according to their opinion, harmful, to food. “It was a kind of intention of justice to what I saw and was wrong” Comment at eldiario.es: “In these Clips There are many things that are not well not only at the technical level, but at the moral level. “ Some examples. What is seen in the videos that Otero treasures (whose account is dedicated to a more responsible approach to the kitchen, but that files these videos in the outstanding stories of his profile) is a true fair of culinary horrors: recipes hypercaloric and of monstrous sizeobjects manufactured with food (with bonus for the nursery), Cheap eroticism (and always with abundant waste of nutrients), Attacked to public health, Influencers obsessed with disproportionate foodVisits a infernal premises… Proper names.
