If China invades Taiwan, Taiwan will not notice because a drone has been disguised as an optical illusion for months

by

In modern aviation, each aircraft carries a unique “digital license plate” that identifies it to the world in real time. It makes perfect sense. It is a system designed to provide transparency and security, but it also demonstrates a most disturbing paradox: what appears on a screen is not always what is really flying. China has just put it into practice. A bird, a fighter or a drone. A Reuters investigation has revealed that, since last August, at least 23 flights over the South China Sea have been registered under the callsign YILO4200, associated with a long-range Chinese military drone, although the signals it emitted told a different story. It happens that on civil radars it appeared as a sanctioned Belarusian freighter, also as a British Typhoon fighterlike a North Korean plane or even like a Western executive jet. These were not specific errors or programming errors. Was a deliberate impersonation of air identities by manipulating 24-bit transponder codes that identify position, course and speed. “We have never seen anything like this.” The middle counted that open intelligence analysts and those responsible for aerial tracking platforms agreed on something unusual: this pattern was unprecedented. It was not the classic drone flying “in the dark” without emitting a signal. It was just the opposite. He flew showing a false identity, changing it even in the middle of the journey, testing in real time to what extent he could “dirty” the aerial chart. “We had never seen anything like this,” summarized one of the experts who analyzed the data. It didn’t seem like an accident or a technical anomaly. It seemed like a conscious attempt at operational deception. The ultimate optical illusion. The drone, identified as a Wing Loong 2 With a 20-meter wingspan, it took off from Hainan and traced star- or hourglass-shaped patterns for hours over sensitive areas, including naval routes and areas frequented by submarines. In one of the missions the identity of a Typhoon of the RAF with that of three other aircraft in just twenty minutes before virtually “landing” like the Belarusian plane. On another occasion he posed as that same freighter while the real aircraft was simultaneously taking off in Europe. It was a full-fledged aerial optical illusion sustained for months. Taiwan as a backdrop. Not only that. Apparently, the trajectories were not random. Many were projected towards the Bashi channelcritical point between Taiwan and the Philippinesand when superimposed on a map of the island they crossed areas of military interest around Taipei and its southern coast. In fact, they also brushed against American and Japanese bases in Okinawa and the Ryukyu. It wasn’t just about surveillance. The pattern therefore suggests a digital rehearsal to a bigger stagea test of how to generate confusion in the early stages of a crisis in the Strait. Confusion in decisive milliseconds. They remembered in research that, in highly automated conflicts, milliseconds can separate detection from firing. Introducing noise, false identities and contradictory echoes can delay critical decisions and overwhelm chains of command. Although masking would hardly completely fool advanced military radars, it can sow doubts, hide intelligence missions, or fuel disinformation operations. The key is not so much to disappear. Is seem like something else. If China invades, the warning could be a fiction. Ultimately, the most disturbing idea is not only that a drone has been eight months in disguise in front of Taiwan’s radars. It is rather that that capacity has been tested with patience, repetition and apparent impunity. If you will, if China finally decides to go beyond in Taiwannot even the island itself is going to realize at the first moment what it is seeing on its screens. Because from now on, what appears might not be what actually flies. And that is the true revolution of the movement: a possible invasion that begins, not with missiles, but with a false identity flashing on the radar. An “ally” that comes close and that in reality is not so much.

NATO’s notice to shield our electrical grid

by

The blackboard hanging behind the bar at Squat 17b, a venue in kyiv, does not list drink offerings, but instead keeps a countdown of the days Ukrainians must endure the harsh winter. Inside, the bar lacks electricity and is illuminated only by candles, while customers shiver on stools drinking beer cooled by the freezing temperatures themselves. This print, described by Financial Timesis the result of an exceptionally harsh winter, with temperatures reaching -20 degrees Celsius. What is emerging in Eastern Europe is a reality that some analysts They already describe how “thermal terror”: the cold turned into a weapon of war. Russia does not merely seek to degrade Ukrainian military capabilities; It deliberately targets substations, power plants and distribution networks to make everyday life physically unfeasible. Heating, electricity and water become strategic objectives. Away from the trenches, the front line has moved to the transformers and electrical substations. In the first weeks of the year, Russian forces They have attacked the Ukrainian energy sector more than 200 times. Russia has launched coordinated waves of up to 40 missiles and 400 drones in a single night, seeking to overwhelm air defense systems. Ukraine lost up to two-thirds of its electricity generation capacity after the first months of bombing. And yet, the infrastructure resists. The new frontier of sabotage Faced with the increase in physical and hybrid threats, the European electricity industry has begun to issue clear warnings. “The last year has shown us that continuing with the current model in Europe is no longer an option,” said Leonhard Birnbaum, president of Eurelectric, in statements collected by Euronews. For the sector, security of electricity supply It has become a strategic issue. At the end of December, Poland’s security systems they detected what his Government described as “the strongest attack against Polish energy infrastructure in years.” The Sandworm group—a unit linked to the Russian GRU—managed to disable remote terminal units (RTUs) at at least 30 energy facilities. These RTUs do not generate electricity, but they allow substations and plants to be monitored and controlled. The attack affected plants cogeneration and systems that connect wind and solar farms with the grid. To achieve this, they used a destructive malicious code known as wiperdesigned exclusively to delete files and permanently render computers unusable. Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk warned thathad it been completely successful, half a million people would have been left without heat in the middle of winter. This use of a wiper marks a qualitative leap: Russia has gone from simple digital espionage to destructive sabotage against critical infrastructure of a NATO member country. Physical espionage is added to the cyber threat under the sea. The Russian spy ship Yantaroperated by the Russian Deep Sea Research Directorate (GUGI), traveled for almost 100 days through the waters of the Atlantic and the Mediterranean. Their goal was to map and monitor the undersea cables that Europe and North America depend on for their digital communications and energy. These types of covert operations in the “gray zone” seek to measure NATO’s red lines and open the door to possible power or communications outages to force political negotiations. How did we get here? As the historic American general Omar Bradley recalled: “Amateurs talk tactics, professionals talk logistics.” For any developed nation today, the most critical logistics system is its energy infrastructure. For decades, Europe built a deeply dependent on imported fossil fuels. Dependency became vulnerability. As he remembered Bloombergthe European Union paid almost €22 billion in Russian fossil fuel imports last year, more than it provided in direct financial support to Ukraine. Changing models has ceased to be a climate issue and has become a pure survival instinct. The old continent has proven that filling its territory with renewable sources and electrifying the economy builds a much more solid structural wall than the old addiction to foreign fossils. And the shield is already working. A look at the data collected by the think tank Agora Energiewende In his latest report, Europe’s energy security on the path to climate neutrality, reveals a brutal cushion: the simple deployment of wind and solar technology during the last five years (2019-2024) avoided having to buy and burn 92 billion cubic meters of gas. However, this transformation introduces new risks. Modern power grids are more digital, more interconnected and more decentralized. According to the same report Agora Energiewendethe challenge is no longer just to ensure fuel supply, but to guarantee network stability, cybersecurity and industrial resilience. More nodes mean more potential entry points for attacks. Added to this is the technological dimension. How to collect Euronewsbetween 70% and 80% of the solar inverters installed in Europe come from Chinese manufacturers such as Huawei or Sungrow. In a highly digitalized system, hardware control also potentially implies software control. Energy as defense policy Faced with this vulnerability, Europe is obliged to treat energy security as a defense policy de facto. A coalition of defense experts, including retired military leaders such as British Lieutenant General Richard Nugee and Dutch General Tom Middendorp, has urged European governments to count low-carbon energy spending against NATO’s target of allocating 1.5% of GDP to critical infrastructure and civil resilience. In statements collected by Guardianretired Lt. Gen. Richard Nugee said, “To have a strong military deterrent we need a resilient homeland. And low-carbon energy is a critical component.” According to Bloombergthis vision is gaining ground in the European strategic debate: the energy transition is no longer just climate policy; is security architecture. The tactical key to this new defense is decentralization. Unlike large centralized plants that are easy targets for missiles, wind turbines and solar panels are much more geographically dispersed, making them significantly less vulnerable to large-scale attacks. To sustain this new model, Euroelectric proposes three fundamental pillars: Better planning: Preparedness frameworks should span the entire value chain, include all energy carriers, and anticipate long-term external threats. Massive flexibility: It will be essential to deploy new storage and demand management technologies to complement the variability of renewable energies. … Read more

Samsung opens the era of 2nm chips with the Exynos 2600. Chances are we won’t notice much

by

Samsung has announced officially the Exynos 2600 SoC. This smartphone chip is especially notable for one particular feature: it is the first to be manufactured with 2 nm photolithography. The question, of course, is whether that will change things much. Why is it important. Node jumps in photolithographic processes are especially striking because they usually lead to significant improvements in performance and efficiency. By reducing the scale it is possible to fit more transistors in the same space, which in essence ends up giving us “more for the same.” The Samsung Exynos 2600 goes precisely in that direction. The data. Samsung’s new System-on-a-Chip (SoC) boasts above all of that new 2nm GAA (Gate-All-Around) manufacturing process, and is composed of the following elements: CPU: ten cores in total. The configuration features one 3.8 GHz C1-Ultra core, three 3.25 GHz C1-Pro cores, and six 2.75 GHz C1-Pro cores. GPU: Samsung Xclipse 960 NPU: 32K MAC What can we expect. According to Samsung, this new CPU increases performance by 39% compared to the Exynos 2500. The Xclipse 960 GPU manages to double the computing capacity of its predecessor and 50% more performance in ray-tracing. And finally, the NPU allows 113% more performance than its predecessor, which will allow you to enjoy AI functions in a theoretically notable way. 320 MP sensors. Another of the differentiating elements of this SoC is the support for sensors of up to 320 MP, in addition to offering zero latency for captures of up to 108 MP. Or what is the same: you take snapshots thanks to that processing capacity. It is also compatible with 8K recording at 30 fps and 4K at 120 fps with HDR. Less throttling. One of the most important novelties of these chips is Heath Path Block technology (HPB). This system improves thermal conductivity using new materials, which reduces thermal resistance and helps the chip maintain high performance for longer. It will therefore be more difficult for us to notice drops in chip performance due to potential overheating, for example in gaming sessions with the mobile phone that integrates this SoC. If that promise is fulfilled, we would be facing a potential solution to a problem that has traditionally been criticized in Exynos chips. Will we notice anything? The truth is that current SoCs are already true computing beasts in all sections and usually give so much room for maneuver that it is difficult to notice differences between them in our daily lives. That perception is misleading, because these hardware advances allow us to take advantage of that performance and efficiency “without realizing it.” Increasingly better photos captured and processed instantly, absolute fluidity in the interface even with high resolutions and refresh rates, or of course gaming in increasingly demanding games are scenarios in which these chips do their best. remains to be seen if Google finally goes ahead with its “PC mode”an area in which having powerful chips like this can offer a user experience much closer to the usual laptop/PC. Competition for Qualcomm. Theoretically, the Samsung chip will be able to compete head to head with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5. Some previous leaks That’s what they pointed out, but without a doubt we could be facing a great option for a market that will certainly benefit from that competition. Prepared for the Galaxy S26. Samsung is expected to use the new Exynos 2600 in its Galaxy S26 series, although it is not clear at the moment whether that decision will be global and will depend on the region. A global commitment would allow, for example, to integrate this chip on the Galaxy S26 and use Qualcomm chips only in the S26 Ultra, but everything remains to be confirmed. Of course, that type of strategy would be the definitive litmus test for Samsung Foundry, which in recent years has clearly been one step behind in performance and efficiency compared to its competitors. In Xataka | The Samsung Galaxy S26 will be much more than a phone for Samsung: the future of Exynos depends on it

Half of Spain is on alert due to snow and yet AEMET has not issued a single red notice: what is happening here?

by

“Historical Polar Beast“, “New Philomena“, “the polar storm that threatens Spain“: Much has been written about the intrusion of cold air that is causing drops in temperatures, snowfall and trouble throughout the north of the country. And not always without reason. In fact, the Junta de Castilla y León has declared the alert for snowfall in the provinces of Burgos, León, Palencia and Soria. And yet, AEMET has not issued a red weather warning. What is happening here? QTo start: everything is working normally. And we must not forget that AEMET and Civil Protection do not do the same work. The State Meteorological Agency is limited to issuing weather warnings that are based on physical and objective thresholds. Civil Protection, on the other hand, declares the alert based on the expected impact (on the population and/or infrastructure). In this sense, they are not things that can be linked directly. And what is happening these days is a textbook example. AEMET has not activated red warnings, simply because snowfall exceeding the highest thresholds is not expected. Yes, the snow level had dropped a lot… but in reality, no one expected a lot of snow to fall. This does not mean, as is evident, that it is not an important episode; Only it is not an extreme episode in purely meteorological terms. In social terms, it is different. Because as Víctor Gonzalez explained There are a series of factors that make this relatively small winter storm something to take into account. To begin with, it is the first episode of snowfall at low levels of the season. As with heat waves in summer, the first ‘episodes’ are always more dangerous because they ‘catch’ the population unprepared. Especially when (as is happening now) that episode comes earlier than usual, when winter hasn’t even started yet. In addition, it coincides with very busy days (because we are talking about a very busy weekend). An important lesson: When we talk about meteorology, it doesn’t just matter how much snow falls, how hot it is going to be, or how much water a storm will dump. What really matters is when, where and on whom it falls. As Víctor González said“If this same episode occurred on a Tuesday in February, perhaps the alert would not have been declared.” Image | ECMWF | Alev Takil In Xataka | AEMET is clear about what we can expect from the polar storm that threatens Spain: the question is whether we are prepared

Gemini 3 promises more quality and precision than ever in its responses. The question is whether we will really notice the difference

by

Google has announced the launch of Gemini 3its new artificial intelligence model. in the company They claim it is their most advanced reasoning model because it is “designed to understand depth and nuance.” Gemini 3 will also be available as standard as part of AI Mode in the renewed Google search engine (in this case and for the moment, only in the US). It is the first time that Google offers the benefits of its AI model from day one in the search engine, but it also reaches the Gemini app and the developers who work with AI Studio and Vertex AI. Behind him success of Gemini 2.5 Pro and Flashthe new version arrives in 30 new languages, including Catalan, Basque and Galicianand as we say you can start testing today in the United States… or outside of there via a VPN. Gemini 3 promises. At least in the tests Google highlights how the model’s behavior has been outstanding in various synthetic tests. Thus, Gemini 3 leads the LMArena classification with 1,501 points—the first to overcome the 1,500-point barrier. According to Google, the Gemini 3’s test results put it ahead of all its competitors in virtually all scenarios. In fact, he manages to reason “at the level of a PhD” according to the tests of Humanity’s Last Exam (exceeds 37.5% of the test without tools) and GPQA Diamond (91.9%). It also makes spectacular progress in mathematics, as demonstrated by the 23.4% on the MathArena Apex test: GPT 5.1 scores 1.0% and Claude Sonnet 4.5 1.6% on the same test, for example. The model also wants to be more direct: his answers are more “concise (…) and he prefers to offer valuable information instead of resorting to clichés and flattery. Tells you what you need to hear, not just what you want to hear“. Gemini 3’s ‘Deep Think’ mode goes even further in tests: in Humanity’s Last Exam it achieves 41.0%, but it also in the demanding ARC-AGI 2 It achieves 45.1% (with code execution), which also demonstrates progress in abstract reasoning and visual understanding. Gemini 3 explains the world to you in a simple way The model has a context window of up to one million tokens, which allows it to be used, for example, to analyze huge repositories of code or text and then work on that data. Its multimodal support allows you to analyze all types of information. For example, Gemini 3 can decipher and translate handwritten recipes in different languages ​​to create a family cookbook that you can share. Or analyze your pickleball games (we assume the same thing happens in other sports) and identify areas where you can improve and generate a training plan. Or scrutinize the data from a research paper and from it generate code for an interactive guide that helps us better understand those studies. In fact, integration with Google Search is an especially important part of Gemini 3, which being “embedded” in AI Mode It has the capacity to generate interactive visual elements (widgets, calculators, simulations) in real time. At Google they want the search to be more interactive than ever, and that will mean that sometimes the answers will not be just text, but rather a small interactive webapp that allows us to better understand the answer. Programming (and agents) to power The other crucial element of the model is its capacity in the area of ​​programming. Its results in tests of this type are once again outstanding, and for example it tops the WebDev Arena leaderboard with a score of 1,487 ELO. The model now behaves much more powerfully in the visual part. It also scores 54.2% on Terminal-Bench 2.0, which evaluates a model’s ability to use tools and operate a computer through a terminal. Additionally, it far outperforms 2.5 Pro in SWE-bench Verified (76.2%), a benchmark test that measures the effectiveness of scheduling agents. These Gemini 3 programming capabilities are intended to be used in a new agent development platform called Google Antigravity. The developer experience is using a “conventional” AI integrated development environment (IDE), but your agents can have access to the editor, terminal, and browser. That means these agents can autonomously plan and execute complex software tasks and validate their own code, making it easier for human developers to review and audit that code than ever before. The real challenge of the most recent models On paper Gemini 3 is postulated as a model that can really make a difference compared to its competitors. The test results and Gemini’s own trajectory make us think that the behavior of this model will indeed be remarkable. However The question is whether we will really notice the difference. In recent months we have seen how other AI companies have launched new models, but the impact for a large majority of users has been discreet: the previous models already performed really well, and although the new ones undoubtedly provide improvements, for many consultations these improvements allow us to perceive that jump in performance. Here we see two ways for Google to effectively demonstrate the capabilities of these models. The first opportunity for Gemini 3 will likely be in the area of ​​programming, and it will be these professionals who will likely be able to get the most out of those additional capabilities. But for the rest of the users, it will be that new AI Mode and the Gemini app that will have to make us notice those features. We are intrigued by this ability to respond with small interactive elements —graphics, widgets—, and perhaps with them we will really discover this new capacity of this chatbot. In Xataka | Let’s say goodbye to Google Assistant a decade later. Google has begun to delete its code to leave only one option: Gemini

The week starts with rains in Galicia. It is just the beginning of a change in the pattern throughout and we are going to notice it

by

We have had a truce, but we already knew that: The first half of November was going to be mild, with some rain and occasional thermal drops. And, generally speaking, that’s how it has been. Now the good thing began. And “good” right now means “rain.” Specifically, as we speak, a very active Atlantic storm (which, if all goes according to plan, will probably be named ‘Claudia’) is opening a corridor of southerly winds that will bring heavy rain in the west of the peninsula, an unusual warm advection for the month of November and, incidentally, a more than considerable episode of haze. The worst part, however, will be the Canary Islands. Are we facing the third named storm of the season? Well, as I say, everything seems to indicate yes. But it is still too early to take it for granted: the peak will be between Wednesday and Thursday, to progress in the coming days in the form of fronts. What happens is that the low will suffer the ‘push’ of a warm flow from the south that will raise temperatures and introduce a stream of Saharan dust in the country. Why is this important? In Galicia and the Canary Islands it is important because almost 200 liters per square meter can fall. And, in some areas, the problems can be enormous. However, it is something that also matters for the rest of the country. And not only because the strong winds and rains can affect large areas of the northern half of the Peninsula. Above all, because it is an example of what is going to be one of the great challenges facing meteorology in the coming years: deciding what is a problem. When should a storm have a name? A few days ago, while a storm with subtropical characteristics It caused problems (many problems) In Huelva and Seville, meteorologists discussed whether that storm should have been named. In the end, the official list of named storms seeks to improve public perception and response; and that is not something as easy as giving a name when the notices go from orange to red. What we are going to see these days is something relatively common: omega blocks, undulating jets, storm trains and atmospheric rivers. The only new thing is that They are going to grow, they are going to get stronger and they are going to do it little by little. Almost imperceptibly. What is going to happen this week is a warning to sailors: it is a trailer of the future we are going into.

Everyone agrees that we have to stop using gas. But Europe does not take any notice

by

Europe is preparing for another winter by looking askance at the gas tanks and the thermometer. The heating they start to light up and the alarms, again, too. According to a report by McKinsey & Companyglobal gas demand will increase by 26% by 2050. The figure clashes with the scenario necessary to limit global warming to 1.5 °C, which would require reducing consumption by more than 75%. The bridge fuel. In theory, Europe had learned the lesson after the energy crisis of 2022. But three winters later, the board still showing cracks. The main regasification plants in the Netherlands – Gate and Eemshaven – operate at 90% or 100% of their capacity, and their saturation “is the prelude to higher prices.” They are the gateway for liquefied natural gas (LNG) for Germany and a good part of the European industry. Meanwhile, Spain boasts of having the largest regasification capacity in the EU, with six active terminals, but it can provide little relief to the rest of the continent: interconnections with France barely allow the export of between 7,000 and 8,500 million cubic meters per year. The bottleneck it’s clear: the dependence is no longer on Russia, but on a few port infrastructures that operate at their limits. The result feels on the bill: The regulated gas rate in Spain rose up to 20% in October, but international gas became slightly cheaper, regulated tolls and the increase in winter demand drove up costs. Europe facing winter. The European Union enters winter with gas reserves at 83%the lowest level since the beginning of the energy crisis and ten points below the historical average. The European Commission had set a target of 90%which has not been fulfilled. Meteorologists, in addition, warn of a colder winter than the previous three, which could trigger consumption. Despite this, Brussels does not speak of panic but of caution. ENTSOG—the body that brings together gas system operators— estimates that even In a high demand scenario, no country would have to cut supply. However, he warns of a real risk: “A cold wave in autumn could increase pressure on prices,” especially as Europe compete with Asia for the available LNG. A future that does not deviate from gas. The panorama drawn by the consulting firm McKinsey it’s clear: Global energy consumption will continue to grow by 10% to 15% until 2050. Fossil fuels, despite the rise of renewables, will continue to represent between 41% and 55% of the world’s energy mix. And natural gas, far from disappearing, will remain the pillar of the electrical system and the chemical industryespecially in Asia and the Middle East. The energy transition, the consultancy warns, has lost speed. The priority is no longer decarbonization, but safety and affordability. Or, as the report summarizes: “The gas doesn’t go down, it just moves.” As the electrification of industry and transportation advances, gas demand remains a backup for the system, exacerbating the paradox: each installed renewable megawatt still needs gas behind it. Even in its intermediate scenario, McKinsey estimates a global temperature rise of 2.3°C, well above the Paris Agreement target. The way out: the flexibility that is missing. The consulting firm points to a structural solution: flexibility. Europe will need 75% more flexibility mechanisms before 2030 to integrate renewables without depending on gas. This study estimates that European companies They could capture up to 8 billion euros annually if they invest in demand-side response (DSR) solutions: systems capable of adjusting industrial electricity consumption based on renewable production. In other words, moving demand instead of turning on gas when there is no sun or wind. Several examples from the report show how this new flexibility works: a French paper company managed to multiply its reaction capacity by electrifying its boilers and using thermal storage. In the Netherlands, a greenhouse combines solar energy, batteries and electric boilers to make better use of its production and earn about 300,000 euros per year. And in the United Kingdom, a supermarket chain can reduce its consumption at times of high demand without interrupting its activity. Together, these solutions – batteries, digital control and intelligent systems – allow the electrical grid to adapt instantly, without depending on gas. Between two models. Europe has the generation of the future, but it continues to operate with the rules of the past. The electrical grid still depends on gas to stay on its feet, and transition plans are running slower than the thermometer. McKinsey warns that gas will grow by 26% until 2050, just when it should fall by 75%. It is the portrait of a contradiction: while science asks to slow down, the system steps on the accelerator. The coming winter will once again measure us, not only in degrees or reserves, but in political will. Because energy stability and climate stability, today, are already the same thing.

What really has the viral notice and what really does this function

by

Let’s tell you What does the option Improved Chat Privacy Regarding AIand to what extent I prevents us from spying on us. In recent days there is a viral notice that is being shared by many WhatsApp groups. It is said that we must Activate the improved privacy option so that artificial intelligence Do not access your messages. But this is not really true, and This option does not work exactly that way. There is some context in which I can prevent the IA from reading the messages, but it has nothing to do with protecting them from it. We are going to explain everything in a simple and easy to understand way. The improved WhatsApp and improved privacy In recent days a message has been spreading that it is said that “it seems” that if the option of “improved chat” in WhatsApp is not activated, Any artificial intelligence can access group messagessee the phone numbers and catch personal mobile information, even in private messages. This is not true, because AIs cannot enter WhatsApp chats uncontrollably and steal all data, it does not work in this way. Although there is something in which this function interferes with the fact that the members of a group or a chat can share a message or several with an AI. This viral message misinforms and lies, and that on the way or not, it causes an unjustified alarm. But it is also fair to say that it does not cause you problems, because This option will not do anything wrongIt will simply protect your conversations a little more, although in a different way. How advanced chat privacy works When you press in the name of the group in which you are or the person you are talking about in WhatsApp, you will enter the settings of that conversation. In them, you have a new option called advanced privacy of chatwhich serves to prevent messages on it from being shared. This function serves for the following things: Prevent your messages or photos from sharing in other chats. It prevents multimedia files from automatically saved in the mobiles of the members of the chat. The messages cannot be used for AI functions, such as mentioning goal AI. When you are in a chat, anyone who is in it, be it an individual conversation or a group, can Share a message or photo in other chats That you have in your WhatsApp. With this function activated in a, then this option to share them disappears. In addition, WhatsApp allows you to configure it so that all the photos that are shared in a group or chat They are automatically saved in the gallery of the mobile. In some cases the option is preactivated. Advanced privacy causes the files not to be saved by default. It is also mentioned that messages are prevented from being used for AI functions, but this has nothing to do with what is said in the viral message. Now we will explain it to you. How to protect the function against AI There are two ways in which an AI can access the conversations of a chat. The first is that You share a message to artificial intelligence. Remember that it is no longer just Goal AI in WhatsAppyou also have Chatgpt in WhatsAppand many ortho artificial intelligence systems that function as if they were normal chats, and those that you can share messages. As advanced privacy prevents sharing messages, It also prevents you from sharing messages to AI As to any other contact with which you have a chat. And then we have a goal AI, the artificial intelligence of the company responsible for WhatsApp. This AI allows other functions, such as mention it inside a group to ask for things. When you do this, a target AI can read the content of this group. If you do not mention the goal AI, it does not have to read the chat content. And if you activate this function, you will not be able to use AI goal in the chat, therefore you can not access what is said in it. Of course, goal can always use the content of the chats in general to train their AI, although There is a way to ask not to do it. About the viral message, another thing you should know is that An AI cannot enter your mobile by WhatsApp to catch your personal info And the content of private chats, so activating this function will not protect you from something that does not happen. In summary, the advanced chat privacy function protects you against only certain interactions with AI concrete, which are the integration of goal AI in the chat and to be able to share with any artificial intelligence a message. But nothing more. In Xataka Basics | 22 useful and not so well -known free artificial intelligence tools

‘Mindseye’ is the largest fiasco that the industry remembers from ‘Cyberpunk 2077’. And a notice of what is not going well in video games

by

‘Mindseye’ had lifted considerable expectations, especially for the identity of its responsible, the archner of the saga ‘GTA’ Leslie Benzies. However, the launch has been a disaster of such size that Sony has decided to open the returns from the purchase amount In the PlayStation Store to the players who wish. It is inevitable to think, at this point, in a recent fiasco comparable: ‘Cyberpunk 2077’. A disaster From innumerable technical problemsunusual in a product of this size, to a development well below the expected, ‘Mindseye’ has defrauded all expectations, to the point that it already has More than 1300 assessments in Steampractically all negative. In Metacritic ABISMAL TREATERS 2.9 OF USERS AND HAVE NOT HAVE Note from Professionals, since the company did not give it to the press To play it before launch (traditionally, a sign that something is going wrong.) expectations have played against them: comparisons with ‘GTA VI’ during the promotion were continuous, and Benzies could not moderate them to avoid disappointments. For memes. Bugs and glitches are being innumerable And, of course, players They are registering them and uploading to social networks: Flying NPCS or that explode in meaningless polygons, faces of faces and physical physical ones … there are falls from Frames and Crasheos Continuous, even in console. And as a icing, the campaign is very scarce: Around 20 hoursand with a development that is apparently repetitive and with very little interest. While there are patches, there is hope. Of course, Build to Rocket Boy, the signatory study of ‘Mindseye’, has done everything he could to cushion the impact: recognize the problems and promise that he will fix them in A series of patches To improve performance (at least, get out of 40 fps) and fix bugs. Although for now, he is only doing it on PC. Again, ‘Cyberpunk 2077’ comes to the memory of the players, but perhaps, maintaining hope, it does so in the opposite direction: a game that seemed insurmountable became, patch patch, patch, patch, In the title that should have been departure. Of course, not the ideal route, but a good proof that everything has arrangement. ‘Mindseye’ is a new notice for navigators about the many fractures that plague the industry today. It is almost a catalog of the problems that have ended up deriving in a business that allows broken games like this to see the light. Some of those failures could be: He Hype and marketing as a guarantee: The reputation of Benzies and his curriculum as part of the ‘GTA’ franchise seemed enough to guarantee a good result, but possibly became a development with unrealistic goals. The worst audience in the world: Yes, of course players have their part of guilt. Its avidity for playing every month at the best game of the year (or the decade) has generated some dynamics of toxic creativity in the studies, which are forced to promise above their possibilities to attract the attention of a fandom stunned by excess signals. Ambition that does not accompany the real possibilities: There is currently only a video game creator capable of extending checks that your talent can pay, and it is Kojima. And he doesn’t always get it. Therefore, that a project standing by a team without a much more solid promising trajectory, in a Sandbox, Something as ambitious as “Roblox type mechanics” You should jump alarms instead of guaranteeing echo in the press. The tyranny of the launch dates: It is not the first time that a game goes on sale without ending: the launch dates should be realistic and, above all, the studies would have to have the freedom to delay the launch of a game if it is not finished one hundred percent. They are just some details that have defined the debacle of ‘Mindseye’, but that reveal much more serious problems than a half -game. If any utility has this failed launch at this point is to function as a warning mechanism for an industry that works more and more as a predestined hype machinery. A bubble that, if it aspires to conservation, has to take care to survive. Header | Io interactive

It is a notice for the rest of the millionaires who supported him

by

A little over eight months ago, Elon Musk self -demonstrated “Donald Trump’s first friend” after his re -election as US president. He Cross anxyper That both Musk and Trump dedicated themselves in public leaves no doubt that he has now become “the first former friend.” However, the important thing is not so much what both millionaires said openly, but the evening warning that Trump made to the rest of Millionaires who have supported him From his investiture: “Or with me or against me.” Musk’s “One More Thing”. After weeks of rumorslast week Donald Trump and Elon Musk made official the departure of the South African millionaire at the head of the Doge with A ceremony in the Oval Office in which Musk’s work was praised in the first hundred days of mandate. Then, and in the purest style of Steve Jobs, Musk raised his “One More Thing” before closing that stage and lasted hard against the new tax cut law (known as “One Big Beautiful Bill”) qualifying itof “disgusting abomination.” The fuse had lit and it was a matter of time that everything jump through the air. The World Cup was mounted. Following Musk’s criticism escalation to the fiscal megaley, among its measures contemplated the Subsidy cut For the electric car, Trump began Your offensive against Musk. Musk’s response came from his social network attributing the Merit of Electoral Victory Trump and threatening with dismantle the dragon capsule that NASA has been using astronauts to the space station. However, the high point came when Tesla’s CEO accused the president of appearing on the list of Jeffrey Epstein. Musk even asked his followers If you should found a new party to oppose Trump’s measures. The evening warning. Elon Musk was the Trump’s main validboth during his presidential campaign and in minor elections, contributing hundreds of millions of dollars that distributed To win the electorateand favor Trump’s political interests. However, that has not been an obstacle for Trump to defnert without flinching to such a powerful ally. ¿What would I be able to do With other millionaires who have not had a relationship as narrow as the one he has had with Musk? Jeff Bezos has already received the message. A few weeks ago a working document was leaked in which Amazon employees considered the possibility of breaking down the price increase of tariffs imposed by Trump in their products. From the White House they did not hesitate to get the artillery against Bezos. Karoline Leavitt, Trump government spokesman, accused To the company of “A hostile and political act by Amazon”, and lashed out at Jeff Bezos accusing him of being “the arm of the Chinese propaganda” while showing a photo of the millionaire leading an article in which he was accused of censoring the reviews of a book with the speeches of the Chinese president Xi Jinping. A call from Donald Trump to Bezos would be enough for the millionaire to recular and the company recovered the value of actions that They had collapsed before presidential threats. Apple managed a tense calm. Tim Cook was another of the millionaires who witnessed Trump’s possession in the front line. Months later, Apple felt the pressure of Trump’s economic policies. The president would apply A 25% tariff To technological ones who do not manufacture in the US. To appease Trump’s fury, Apple He promised to invest 500,000 million dollars in the United States over the next four years in return, since it was materially impossible to relocate the production of its short -term smartphones. With this, both parties sealed a tense calm without major consequences … at least temporarily. Mark Zuckerberg is not in prison. With regard to Mark Zuckerberg, the millionaire has not yet entered prison, which is already a lot since Donald Trump spent part of his campaign threatening with imprisonment “For life” to the meta founder. In return, the millionaire has not only provided financial support to Trump’s investiture, but has been one of the first to fly a flying Its labor policies of diversity, equality and inclusion in goal, but also aligned the functioning of its social network to Trump’s wishes. What the meta founder has not been able to get rid of the debate about whether Goal is a monopoly. Emalisting with Trump could make that delicate scale get against him and end up dismembering the goal.
