Your Android mobile will begin to restart only every three days if a condition is met. It’s excellent news

by

Google is deploying a new security function inherited from iOS. The source code I made believe that this characteristic would be exclusive to Android 16but now we know it will be universal. Your Android mobile will restart every three days, automatically, if it remains inactive during that period. A function that a priori may seem lower, but whose impact is much higher than it might seem. What will happen. The new notes of Google system versionrelated to the updates of Google Play services, refer to a new exclusive function for mobile phones. “(Telephone) With this function, your device will restart automatically if it remains blocked for 3 consecutive days.” The explanation cannot be easier: if you do not use your phone for 72h, that will restart automatically. It is something that It has been happening in iOS from version 18and that addresses a main reason. Why will it happen. That your Android will restart every three days if you do not use it is not a whim, it is a security measure. A newly restarted phone is a safer phone. ROMs as Grapheneos They restart the phone every 18h (even if we are using it), and is one of the most recommended practices to protect the mobile. The importance of restarting. Security reports point out that We should never have the mobile on 24/7. Restart the phone eliminates certain processes and data stored in memory. Some of these temporary data are precisely those used by attackers to exploit system vulnerabilities. Restarting the phone is not a magical solution, but one of the best ways to keep the mobile somewhat more protected. In addition, in the case of Android, it is something that can help your useful life. During the week we accumulate apps processes and processes that do not close, and restarting the phone everything returns to its initial state. The face b. It is more than likely to have a secondary mobile. A mobile of work, one that you use as GPS, or any telephone oriented to specific functions. Many of these phones are almost always lit and we may have not restarted months. If this is the case, make sure you know the unlock code and the PIN code of the SIM card, since in each restart you will be required. And if you forget the pinyou just have to use the Puk or contact your operator. If you forget the mobile unlock codeyou are in trouble.

I have tried the first Spanish recharge points map for electric cars. I have good and bad news

by

Electric Red of Spain has made public Revethe first official map that reflects the recharge points In Spain. The public company has collected the dynamic data of the entire infrastructure of the national territory, creating a free map that, a priori, contains all the information. The problem? Information about these recharge points is sent to Red Eléctrica by their own operators. In other words, if the operator does not send the data … the load point does not exist for the service. I have been able to prove this service to deepen its operation. I have good and bad news. Web and app. Reve It is a web page where we can access the real -time map of recharge points in Spain. The interface is quite simple and friendly, with five possible scenarios for recharge points. Group of site Available points Points where you are loading Reserved points Points out of service Despite being a web page, the interface is mainly aimed at using it with the mobile phone, and works practically as an application. The filters. One of Reve’s strengths is in the quality of the filters. We can select the operator, being available the following: Act Endesa X Way ETECNIC Iberdrola Clients Iberdrola | BP press Moeve PowerDot Repsol Wenea Services Easycharger In addition to the filter per operator, it can be sought by power, type of connector, price (€/kW), available payment method and even services at the point (recreational area, restaurant, supermarket, taxi stop, wifi, etc.). No, you haven’t read Tesla yet. As you may have appreciated, among the available companies It is not Teslaand we cannot filter the American company to find all its loaders. However, if we are looking for “Tesla”, the main supercores appear. And I say “the main”, because not all. In fact, some supercargators with several years of life in Spain do not appear on the map. It is, without a doubt, the main stick that I have found to this website. It will not replace any app. This map is raised as a platform in which to find the 25,685 load points of the country’s main suppliers (except Tesla chargers), but not as a direct rival for the best apps, such as Electromaps.

There are also small changes in the code that point to the arrival of Gemini, although for now he has not yet done so. And why do some functions take so long?

The good news is that we have an anticyclone about Spain. The bad is that stability will last a sigh

by

All those who thought that the rains of March were A kind of Vogone curseit seems they were right. In fact, I don’t know if it is worth continuing to call them “March rains” because, despite appearances, the rain has not left anywhere. I was taking a breath. But we have a dorsal on top! It’s true. These days, it has entered A gigantic anticyclonic dorsal of subtropical origin that is not only very warm and very stable, but will cross the Peninsula and will continue to the north until it almost arrives in Iceland. And we will notice. Because, As Aemet already pointed out In his forecast for this week is that “it will be warmer than normal throughout the country, especially in the peninsular northwest.” However, it is not a normal dorsal. As Ángel Rivero explainedthis dorsal has a characteristic “finger” form (it is very elongated, but very narrow). That exposes the Peninsula below Danas and Borrascas Frías, both for the East and West. The problem is that this type of structures (very rare before, but from 2020 more and more frequent) are characterized by An extremely winding polar jet With air bags, ripping continuously. And, as we know, those airbags have a very erratic behavior: they are very difficult to pursue. And the first example comes Wednesday. The European model draws two cold storms one between the Canary Islands and the Azores (Olivier) and the other in the Gulf of Lion. As Collect Sergio Escaama in Meteoredboth storms go to Cerner on the Peninsula and will cause rains both in the northeast and in the southwest. If the scenarios are right, both storms would merge into a About the Gulf of Cádiz creating a fairly complex situation. Although we cannot determine the intensity and the trajectory, we do know that we must monitor it closely. From the middle of the week, we can expect rains in many areas of the country. And in Holy Week? As we are experiencing in our own flesh, the country’s meteorological context is complex. We are living a spring full of thermal ups and downs and huge rains. Thus, it is difficult to know what is going to What yes We can discard it is a persistent scenario of stability. If it does not rain on the key days of next week it will be by chance and not because it must necessarily be so. As I explainedduring the next few days we will have to be aware of the Azores anticyclone. Because if as it seems, zonal circulation is restored, everything will depend on whether the anticyclone lets go storms or not.

We have tried them and they are not good news for big hands

by

Naturally, certain aspects of a device do not reveal all its possibilities until they are tested. This is the case of the Joycon of The Switch 2 In mouse mode. Although its operation was very clear in Nintendo’s ads (the Joycon, turned with the back towards the table, can move like a mouse, with trigger and buttons turned into buttons), its possibilities have not been clear until The presentation in Paris, Where we have been able to feel them. Many mysteries have been resolved. Two tests. And so it has been thanks to a couple of games that we have commented on our Review to the titles presented In this pair of days, but that we are going to review with a little more detail, because that is where the keys of the command are. It is, on the one hand, by ‘Metroid Prime 4: Beyond’, where the right command acts as a mouse in a First Person Shooter; And in ‘Drag X Drive’, where both are used at the same time with a purely Nintendo style, that is, in a way that would never have occurred to us, and squeezing the possibilities of the device based on lateral thought. In search of precision. The goal of playing a First Person Shooter With mouse is the search for precision in the pointed one: the saga ‘Metroid Prime’ traditionally solved the problem that the control with command (heir of time in which it was not usual) with a system of Lock-on of the point of view in the enemies. But now, thanks to the new command, ‘Metroid Prime 4’ is more precise than ever before in the saga. The Samus Aran’s settings movement is executed in this case with the left hand, holding the Joycon half as a conventional console command, while the right hand points. For small hands. What is the problem? The size of the control used as a mouse. For large hands such as mine, the grip position that forces to adopt the pseudo-oatón leads to a certain grab that ends up becoming annoyance in a few minutes. Especially if, as in this case, the side buttons must be clicking on the side (which make Samus a sphere or activate the way of scanning objects) twisting the fingers, because they are too together. It is a command that, obviously, has been designed first as PAD: the arrangement of the buttons is comfortable when used in classic mode. As a mouse is an extra use. One solution: alternate the mouse mode. But Nintendo has thought about everything, and the Joycon have a special characteristic: it is not necessary to activate the mouse mode in a menu from the game, but simply disconnecting the control of the console and placing it on the table. Employment as a mouse is immediate, and this allows us to use the right hand as a mouse when more precision is exiled, in the parts of action; and volting it again to its original position, to explore. That is the alternation system that suggested: of course, it can always be done with a mouse or always with sticks, and each player can find the one that most interests him Basket Fever. This discomfort is nuanced, curiously, with ‘Drag X Drive’, the curious wheelchair’s futuristic basketball game that is mandatory with the two joycon as mice. Although sometimes the game has a certain air of technical demo, it is very hilarious in large part by its control system, based on firm movements of the mice on the table, which mimic the movements of the players controlling the wheels of their chairs. The robustness and, at the same time, the versatility of the controls (which allow us to accelerate or turn our chair with enough immediacy) stand out in a game that, not demanding the precision of a ‘metroid’, does not generate so much discomfort in the controls. An intermediate solution. The usefulness of these mouse controls will be outlined, without a doubt, with the appearance of new games, or giving renewed life to ancient titles such as Bethesda’s ‘doom’. Our current feeling is that it is more a Gimmick (such as the camera) or an extra that a proposal that allows an intensive and prolonged game, as is the pro command. But as is logical, the more options exist for a very varied, the better. Especially if, for once, it is included in the price, no one is going to charge an extra for using this grip.

It seemed impossible for the rains of March to be bad news for someone. Until the watermelons and melons arrived

by

The huge rains of March have left much of the field offside and, for weeks, the generalized response has been the country. It is not for less: in the whole of Spain 149 l/m² have been accumulated2.5 more than usual. The benefits are huge: they are not only full swamps; but the fields of cereal, vineyard, olive grove and nuts at their best and a sweet moment in sheep, goat and milk bovine. But there are also great harmed. Who can water go wrong? Paradoxically, many crops: some vegetables (from broccoli to lettuce), the strawberries of Huelva, the harvest of potatoes, legumes and, above all, to the melon and watermelon. Is it for floods? In large part yes. In Murcia, more than 5,000 hectares of vegetables have been flooded and in Almería crops have been affected (both outdoors and greenhouse). It is thus understood that, during all this time, root asphyxiation has been one of the great fears of farmers. In essence, we talk about A phenomenon that occurs when the roots of the plants do not receive enough oxygen. This usually occurs when there is an excess of water on the ground; And, in fact, it can happen even if the ‘flood’ lasts for a short time. However, there are problems beyond suffocation. A good example is the chickpea. In his case he has not suffocated because, in short, he has not even come to be planted in provinces such as Seville (which concentrates a third of national production). As the Secretary General of Coag Sevilla says in The debatethe chickpea has to be more than 100 days in the countryside and “this year, hopefully, will pass 60”. Even in the event that the meteorology accompanies, the chickpea campaign It will be very bad. And, in addition, it is inevitable because farmers cannot plant anything else: the norms of common agricultural policy They force them to plant a certain percent of its land with legumes. And then we have the humidity. The rain has caused moisture levels to shoot and, With themthe “proliferation of pests and diseases such as the Botrytis (caused by a fungus) or the Mildiu” (groups several diseases that damage stems and leaves) “that are rotting the kills. And what happens to melons and watermelons? Another different thing. In the case of these crops, the situation is “worrying” because the rains arrived in “The most delicate moment, pollination“This has significantly delayed production to the point that seems unfeasible that early watermelons can reach the market on their usual dates. The hope of the sector, As explained by COAGis that great production is rethink. If no unforeseen occurs, that would allow the market of late watermelons and melons with force. But, of course, everything depends on what happens in the next few days. It is worth remembering that in recent years, these two summer fruits have starred controversial for its high prices and distribution problems. All to do. The great unknowns are now two: What water management will allow hydrographic confederations and the rest of the administrations, on the one hand. And how flexible will be the European Union With the restrictions of phytosanitary products In a context climatic extreme. However, there are many more things on the table. Many more problems, many more opportunities. Above all, before The perspective that this is the new normality.

The folding market is completely stagnant. It’s excellent news for Apple

by

The global folding telephone market grew 2.9% in 2024, a discreet figure that will be accompanied according to analysts of a Nothing flattering 2025 and a 2026 in which the global photography of this market is expected to change completely with the entry of a new participant. According to data from Counterpoint Researchfolding mobile sales face a stagnation cycle, one that has been suffering from 2023 and will not overcome until well into 2026. One of the main causes has to do with Samsung, manufacturer that was already Detronated by Huawei losing the company crown that sells more folding in the world. This was mainly due to the boom of Huawei and the folding in China, but in Europe Samsung’s sales remain the ones that drive the market. With a 33%drop, Samsung drags the global photo, next to an Oppo that falls by 72%. The rest of the manufacturers add so many, highlighting Motorola, Honor and Xiaomi, mainly. The big change is expected in 2026, for a main reason. This is the year in which the arrival of the first folding iPhone is expected. If Apple manages to give on the key, it will be a key device to revive demand for this format. The company will not be easy: the durability and final price challenges are two of the main problems of the phones in this format, something that no manufacturer has managed to solve to date.

Social Security has published the work of work casualties in 2024 and we have bad news: we have broken a record

by

Spain is living A worrying phenomenon: Labor casualties have reached a new historical maximum in 2024, marking a trend that marks its fourth year up and does not seem to be. Demographic aging, saturation of health or improving employment figures are the main suspects. Record in work casualties due to illness. The increase in Low for temporary disability It is not only a perception of entrepreneurs, but a reality backed by Official security data Social of 2024 that has just been published. According to The published by The countrySocial Security records reveal that the average prevalence of temporary disabilities for common contingencies (those not directly related to the work) reached its highest historical percentage: 53.3 per 1,000 employees in 2024. That of autonomous professionals is 39.8 per 1,000 employees. A high cost for the economy. According to the report ‘Labor absenteeism for common contingencies’ Prepared by the employer Asedas and the association of mutual accidents at work (AMAT), in Spain in 2024 8,716,663 casualties for diseases and non -work accidents occurred, which meant a cost of more than 28,987 million euros in social security benefits of social security and direct cost for companies. This expense has increased by 99% in the last six years. The average time that a worker remains medical leave due to temporary disability is 39.2 days by professional contingencies (those directly related to work activity), while for self -employed professionals it increases to 106.5 days. The aging of the workforce. One of the main reasons behind this increase in medical casualties due to common contingencies is the general aging of the population and, with it, a greater tendency to get sick. According to data from the Employers of Mutual Amat, more than half of the work casualties occur in the 31 to 51 -year section. The INE data They point out that more than 35% of workers in Spain are 50 years or older and ‘Study on the aging of the templates in the General State Administration and future projection at 2030’ It points to that in 2023, the peak of the demographic pyramid will reach the strip between 50 and 60 years. According to data of The independentif we compare the current 50 and 60 -year -old strip with that of 2002, it has increased by 169%, while the segment of between 16 and 24 years has fallen 36%, and the one aged 25 to 34 has done 20%. The collapse of public health. The worsening of public health also directly affects the resolution of the casualties due to temporary disability, since, in many occasions, these casualties are lengthened more than necessary by waiting lists in diagnostic tests and surgical interventions. The official data of the Ministry of Health of December 2023 (the last available) indicate that Spain registered a record of 849,535 people in surgical waiting lists. This figure represents almost twice as many people in this comparative situation With the data of 20 years ago. The average waiting time for surgery (in 2023) was 128 days, which practically double the 77 days of 2003. Mutuals can help. The increase in labor casualties not only affects workers, but also a significant blow to the Companies productivity. Unions, employers and social security They have reached agreements so that mutuals have a greater prominence with the aim of decongesting the waiting lists of public health. This public-private collaboration frame is intensified mainly in casualties due to temporary disability with traumatic pathologies, in which mutuals achieve expedite tests and treatments necessary reducing the medical leave time and saving several billions of euros to companies and social security.

Xiaomi has lost 800 million dollars in its first year selling electric cars. It is excellent news for your future

by

Nine months in the market have been enough to show that Lei Jun was not wrong when he decided to bet on electric cars. The company announced the Xiaomi Su7 in December 2023. In April 2024 the first deliveries arrived. In December I already touched with the fingers Strain its only electric car as one of the 10 new energy models (plug and electrical hybrids) in China. Now, the company has submitted results and has updated its upward forecasts. 2025 will be the first full year in which, at least, one of its electric cars is on the street. In 2023 they did not sell a single electric car. In 2025 they aspire to place in the market 350,000 units. With the data collected by Clean Technicait is very likely that the Xiaomi Su7 will be placed among the 10 best -selling cars of new energy in the Chinese market, despite competing with settled brands that offer much cheaper vehicles such as the Byd Seagull or the Wuling Hongguang Mini. The 2024 results have been a definitive support for the strategy. Results that take away the hypo Until now, Xiaomi had announced that I hoped to deliver 300,000 electric cars in 2025. However, the presentation of 2024 results has served to update those figures in another 50,000 additional units. In addition, of the Xiaomi Su7, the company is expected to launch the market Xiaomi Yu7an electric SUV that points directly to Tesla Model and as the great rival. It is no accident that Elon Musk’s are valuing the launch of a cut version of your SUV best -selling electric in the Asian country. But what has really been a support for the company has been Xiaomi Su7 Ultra. The most capable electric car sells dream benefits at a ridiculous price. On paper, it improves the performance of a Porsche Taycan but is sold to a third of its price. The announcement, as expected, has ended up unleashing madness. Lei Jun confirmed That in three days they have sold all the production they had scheduled for 2025, confirming more than 10,000 sales. In those three days there were a total of 19,000 reservations, so the demand of the car almost doubled the annual production in 72 hours. Xiaomi first year data selling electric cars All this has had a brutal impact on your accounts: Xiaomi has already delivered more than 200,000 cars. The net profit of the company has increased by 41% (3,760 million dollars) compared to 2023. Total sales of the company have grown by 35%. Their cars already suppose 10% of the company’s income. Between 2021 and 2025 it has spent 3.3 billion dollars on the development of the electric vehicle and its entire ecosystem. He plans to continue spending another 4.2 billion dollars in investigation in 2025. They lost around 800 million dollars in their car division. That loss of 800 million of dollars should not be a big problem for the company. Keep in mind that only in 2025 will almost double the cars that it has put in the market so far. In addition, the performance of the Xiaomi Su7 Ultra and the arrival of the Xiaomi Yu7 should help them make the investments already made. And not just that. From Fortune They emphasize that the company values ​​its performance in the automobile market because the company helps to comply with its brand image and raise it. Competing from you to you with Porsche and Tesla gives the company a value that until now did not. In addition, from Xiaomi they already assure that In 2027 They hope to export their first cars outside their borders, which should give a new push to its portfolio and continue to press so that the electric car becomes a fundamental pillar in the company’s strategy. If it is not anymore. Photo | Lei Jun in X In Xataka | The Xiaomi Su7 also expires in autonomy: the first tests under real conditions place him above Tesla or Byd
