Your phone is already more powerful than many basic laptops. This accessory wants to turn it into your new office

by

We have been seeing proposals for years that promise us turn your mobile into a desktop computer. The idea of ​​systems like Samsung DeX is that by connecting the mobile phone to a computer, we can control it with a keyboard and mouse. The problem is that we need a computer with the financial outlay that it entails. From here comes the idea of NexDock, an accessory to turn your mobile into a laptopeven if you don’t have a laptop. A portable shell It has a screen, it has a trackpad, it has a keyboard… looking at the photos we would say that it is a normal laptop, but in reality it is simply a shell. The NexDock has no operating system, processor or storage, but rather his “brain” is his cell phone that we connect via USB. The NexDock has a 14-inch screen with 1920×1200 resolution, has two stereo speakers, a full backlit keyboard and a integrated 5,000 mAh battery. This allows the mobile phone to be charged and the autonomy to be closer to that offered by a normal laptop. According to its creators, it offers more than 7 hours of autonomy. When connecting the mobile, the interface adapts to the screen and we can operate it with the keyboard and mouse, but there is more. We can also connect a console such as the Steam Deck, a Raspberry Pi or use it as a secondary screen for another computer. Price and compatible mobile phones The NexDock costs $229, a much lower price than a normal laptop, so it may be interesting for users who want the desktop experience without spending too much. However, it is already a significant amount and perhaps there are those who prefer to invest a little more and have a real computer. In addition, if you buy from Spain you have to add shipping costs, which increase the price to more than 290 dollars, about 245 euros at the current exchange rate. Regarding compatible mobile phones, it can be used with all those who have a desktop mode, such as those that are compatible with Samsung DeX, Google Pixel, Huawei with ‘Easy Projection’ and Motorola phones with ‘Ready For’. Google is expected to activate desktop mode for all Android soon, since It is a hidden feature in Android 16. In the case of iPhones, NexDock does not indicate that it is compatible, but it can be used through the app infiniteX2P which allows you to adapt the iOS interface to a large screen.

Moeve has a turnover of 1.8 billion euros. The Prosecutor’s Office asks to dissolve the company because, they claim, they did not pay 7.7 million in taxes

by

Now Cepsa is Moeve. And now it is Moeve who has to fight against an accusation from the Public Prosecutor’s Office for fraud in the payment of taxes. The court case has been dragging on since 2022 but has its origins almost a decade ago. Now, the Prosecutor’s Office is asking for 28 years in prison for its board, targeting three senior officials of the Canary Islands Tax Agency and, in addition, the dissolution of the company. What has happened? In short, the Prosecutor’s Office accuses Moeve of tax fraud in the Canary Islands. According to their investigations, the company would have stopped paying 7.7 million euros to the Treasury by passing off diesel fuel as fuel oil when paying taxes between 2016 and 2021. The change is substantial because the tax rate on fuel oil (€0.56/tonne) is much lower than that on diesel (€222/1,000 liters). They stand out in Motorpassion that diesel has a tax 400 times higher than the change of units and, from there, would come the 7.7 million euros that the company would have omitted when presenting its taxes. What does the Prosecutor’s Office ask for? The Prosecutor’s request is harsh: That criminal proceedings be opened against the company The dissolution of the company Fine of 13 million euros for the company 28 years in prison and more than 25 million euros in fines for the board Two-year disqualification for three senior officials of the Canary Islands Tax Agency How did the events happen? As described in Fuerteventura Diarythe Prosecutor’s Office maintains that between January 2016 and October 2021, the then Cepsa, through its subsidiary Petróleo de Canarias (Petrocan), settled the taxes by passing off diesel fuel as fuel oil with “a clear intention of defrauding” the regional Public Treasury. According to their calculations, the company would have stopped paying the following amounts: 2016: 781,295 euros 2017: 404,134 euros 2018: 1.4 million euros 2019: 2.3 million euros 2020: 1.6 million euros 2021: 1.2 million euros In all that time, the Prosecutor’s Office accuses the Canary Islands Tax Agency of ignoring the complaints that came to it from the oil company. And the company IR Maxoinversiones, which manages various local gas stations, already reported the events in 2019, repeated it, expanding the complaint in 2020, and some time later filed a third complaint. The officials indicated by the Prosecutor’s Office, however, did not file any measures to investigate the events. What does Moeve say? Company sources point to Xataka that “the case is appealed. We reject the accusation and we hope that the actions of justice confirm the correct application of the taxation carried out by Moeve to the product called Diesel Oil, for industrial use and not linked to the activity of service stations.” They explain that Diesel Oil is a much heavier product than the diesel that we can consume for the car, so its use can only be industrial to start a machine or power a heater. That is, the usual use given to fuel oil. Thus, they point out that their taxation has always adjusted to what the Treasury has demanded at all times and that they are not trying to pass the product off as what it is not in their accounts. Disproportionate? Although the Prosecutor’s accusations are on the table and they say they can support them with data, it remains to be seen what the resolution of the case is. The claims refer to an alleged evasion of 7.7 million euros over six years, a very small figure for a company that only in the first nine months of the year 2025 (latest data published) earned 472 million euros in net profits and invoiced more than 1.8 billion euros in 2024. Therefore, beyond proving that Moeve did not pay the taxes due, it will have to be demonstrated that this omission was made with the intention of enriching himself and not because of a mistake when filing taxes, an element that seems essential for a judge to order the dissolution of the company. a company with more than 11,000 employees.

Microsoft continues to confuse the world with its obsession with Copilot. Almost no one is very clear if Office is alive or not

by

“But then, does Office exist or not?” It is a question that seems trivial, but it is not so, and with good reason: the constant name and brand changes have meant that the Microsoft office suite is being the latest victim of his obsession with AI and with its avalanche of products with the Copilot surname. The usual Office is no longer what it was. The evolution of Office was relatively stable until 2020. The office suite, officially launched in 1990, made it possible to bring together all the office applications that Microsoft already had and that it would later expand. This is how we soon saw an Office that consisted of Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OneNote, Outlook and even Access and other tools. Changes and more changes. Since then the suite has been undergoing paradigm shifts… and name changes: 2010: The Office 365 brand is introduced as a cloud version of the traditional office suite. The goal: compete with Google Docs 2013: After the launch of Office 2013, Microsoft begins to promote the Office 365 service as the main alternative to access office tools 2017: Microsoft presents a second evolution of these services, which this time were aimed at companies and which it named Microsoft 365. This platform combined Office 365 with volume licenses for Windows 10 Enterprise, as well as some additional solutions. 2020: Office 365 change your name to Microsoft 365 2022: Microsoft announces that the branding “Microsoft Office” would be abandoned in favor of the “Microsoft 365” brand. Even so, Microsoft continues to sell perpetual Microsoft Office licenses for local installations. The latest version Today it is Microsoft Office 2024. 2025:Microsoft rename the Microsoft 365 app to Microsoft 365 Copilot, referring to the “Office/Microsoft 365 Hub.” This application is actually like an aggregator of the different Microsoft office tools (Word, Excel, etc.). And Perplexity adds fuel to the fire. A few days ago those responsible for Perplexity published a tweet in which they seemed to indicate that Microsoft had changed the name from “Office” to “Microsoft 365 Copilot app.” In reality, what had been renamed, as they point out in Windows Latestis the “Office/Microsoft 365 Hub”, but this name change had already been announced a year ago, in January 2025, as we indicated. Perplexity also added that this decision had caused “400 million users to become “AI users” overnight.” Both the tweet and that statement were somewhat exaggerated, and did not help clarify a situation that is already confusing. Microsoft clarifies it. Microsoft officials have indicated in The Verge and other means that: “We have not made any recent changes to the names of our Office applications. Word, Excel and PowerPoint, the Office applications included in the Microsoft 365 productivity suite, remain unchanged In November 2022, we just renamed the Office hub app for web and mobile to the Microsoft 365 app. In January 2025, we updated it to the Microsoft 365 Copilot app to reflect its role in bringing the Copilot and Microsoft 365 productivity experiences together in one place.” More trouble with the Office.com website. Although Microsoft hasn’t just “killed” the Office brand, it doesn’t seem to want it to be used much either. In fact, if one goes to the office.com website What you see as soon as you load it is a message that says “We welcome you to the Microsoft 365 Copilot application”, or in other words, that “hub” or aggregator from which you can launch the different office tools in the Microsoft suite. It doesn’t seem like a lucky decision. like others in this line in recent times. How to destroy a recognizable and recognized brand. The truth is that Office was a brand recognized by users, but for years Microsoft has wanted to transform it into part of something bigger. The intention, we believe, was to try to make it clear that Microsoft 365 was more than traditional office tools, but the only thing that has been achieved With these changes it is adding more and more confusion. Office is still alive as a product and as a brand, but it has ended up being absorbed by these new brands and, of course, because of Microsoft’s obsession with AI and with Copilot.

Lead the box office in cinemas

by

Taylor Swift has done it again: he is accustomed to Shake the ticket offices with premieres that They go for free and that move on the tightrope between the documentary for fans and the unpublished material, but the fact is that he has crowned the box office in a weekend without memorable premieres. But still Swift’s thing is a phenomenon and predicts a reorientation of the box office to a type of film other than the traditional. The launch of a star. The film is’ The Official Release Party of a Showgirl “, the film that accompanies the new star album, ‘The Life of a Showgirl’, and has raised 33 million in the North American market and another 13 in the rest of the world. The film has been distributed independently as it already did with ‘The Eras Tour’, reaching an agreement with AMC and Variance (a distribution company for service), with which it has reached more of 3,700 rooms. More records. Any vazaña is Swift: never before any artist had placed in his first weekend an album and his accompaniment film in the number one of their respective lists. As Deadline remembersnor did he get it Prince With ‘Purple Rain’ (the soundtrack reached number 3), or Whitney Houston with ‘The bodyguard’ (the film stayed in 2). In addition, ‘The Life of A Showgirl’ has been the second best -selling album in history in its first weekend since digital sales are counted, with 2.7 million physical and digital copies added. No publi. The most curious thing about this success is that the film has barely had a promotion: there have been no trailers or signs in cinemas. Only street advertisements, website and social media machinery of Swift, the envy of many Majors: Direct access to the TLS of more than five hundred million users. One more example of the promotional muscle of the Fandom and the networks when turning a premiere into a success. Towards eventization. This success only confirms, beyond the overwhelming fame that Taylor Swift enjoys, that the cinema is eventizing, that is, that the great premieres are taking the form of events that go beyond the pure footage of the film, something that has almost reserved for the traditional films that circulate in streaming. The films event are premieres designed to live in the room: giant screens, immersive sound and special functions that justify a higher price and a social assistance ritual. Premium experience. While the assistance figures of film rooms are resent with continuous falls (the global collection figure 10% fell in 2024 With respect to 2023, and the change in consumption habits and the impact of strikes seem to be The great responsible), The phenomenon ‘Barbenheimer‘A couple of years ago it seems to have marked a way to consider the premieres that since then you want to repeat. Immersive experiences, films that “must be seen” in cinemas (the last phenomena in that sense were ‘WICKED‘ and ‘A Minecraft movie ‘), Sing-Along versions … The film industry crawls in search of new spectators. Paradoxically, artists completely outside Hollywood seem to have the keys to provide an oxygen ball. In Xataka | Taylor Swift has already released 34 editions from his latest album. OBJECTIVE: Never abandon success lists

Why although it seemed to belong to a genre and a condemned franchise, ‘Warren file’ has been a box office bombing

by

Absolutely overwhelming has been the box office of the fourth and, apparently, the last installment of ‘Warren file’, subtitled ‘the last rite’, in its first weekend. Can boast of being the second best premiere of a horror movie in history (Only behind ‘IT’ in 2017, although these data always have to take them with tweezers, for that of inflation and other issues that relativize the records). Absolute or only relative triumph, the figures in any case are impressive. When I didn’t have them all the movie to be. The best file. 187 million dollars worldwide (104 of them at the international box office, 83 million in the American, 4.1 in La Española) endorse the premiere as the best in the franchise. It has also been a good support for IMAX screens, where it has generated 14.3 million dollars, the best premiere of the giant format in the horror genre. With these figures, the ‘Warren’ file (which also includes the spin-offs ‘the nun’ and ‘Annabelle’) becomes the highest grossing of horror cinema, with 2.3 billion accumulated dollars. A key moment. This film arrives at a key moment for the franchise. Although the main deliveries of the series have always enjoyed a great box office, Criticism has not always treated them well: this, without going any further, has a 56% in Rotten Tomatoes. Only the first two deliveries rise from 80%, while films such as ‘The Nun’, ‘Annabelle’ or the third ‘Warren’ file are between 25 and 55%. Although Criticism and box office do not always go hand in handit is a reflection of a certain boredom and exhaustion signs that can then have an impact on the box office. It has not been the case, among other things because they are cheap films (between 20 and 50 million budget) and very profitable, however scarce the collection is. Terror is fashionable. To calibrate the proportion of this success, it may be good to compare it with a couple of recent successes of the genre, As Jorge Loser did in Bluesky: Only in his first weekend, ‘The last rite’ has entered 67 million dollars more than ‘the substance’ and ‘return it’ together and in all its careers. And these yes, films venerated by critics. A few weeks ago we talked about How gender is In good streakchaining a success after another (this summer, for example, ‘Weapons’ and the aforementioned’ return to me have dominated the box office): the resurgence of terror in the tastes of the people thanks to the streaming And his low cost in front of the blockbusters are making the genre live an extraordinary moment. The exhausted formula. However, and despite the roller that has made the film with this week’s box office, the bad reception of criticism is natural: the formula has become a copy of itself, and in recent years the clones have emerged everywhere, even outside the franchise itself: ‘Liver us from evil’, ‘ouija’, ‘corpse’, ‘Winchester’ … even in Spain we have had ‘Verónica’ Patron: Demonic houses, possession of innocent creatures and scares very often shot with an identical visual pattern. There is a whole arc of approaches to this style, from The most artie of A24 (which has already configured the aesthetics of the genre with ‘Heredityary’) to that of the most verbenera Blumhouse, which prepares a new sequel to ‘Insidious’, whose first deliveries have also been key to shape this subgenre of horror movies. The box office is no longer infallible but in most cases the public continues to respond very positively. Why horror cinema works despite everything. Apart from the reasons listed above, there is an extra. In times when the industry is buried of clonic formulas, as with absolutely all the large -budget blockbusters and where the authorship of a film has ceased to be a value (the directors of Marvel movies, for example, are completely exchange), horror movies bet on constant surprise and forced differentiation to get attention. Of course, terror is not safe from franchises or farms, but it is taken in another way: with more humor and more carefree. As in ‘Warren File’, belonging to a saga is not a chain that prevents flying free, but an excuse to increase volume and nonsense. The horror cinema has ended up being one of the scarce redoubts of creativity within commercial cinema and the public understands it intuitively. There is no bad criticism that can with that.

I have measured the CO2 of my office for weeks. And now religiously vento every hour and a half

by

I’ve spent a few weeks trying The Netatmo Meteorological Station In my office, a ten -square -meter cubicle where the workday passed. August in Valencia is brutal: 35 degrees and 75% moisture at noon are normal values. But what I really wanted to verify was not the temperature or moisture. It was the CO2 concentration. The first Monday I started curious. At 8:05 a.m., with an open window and door since Friday, the sensor marked 438 ppm, atmospheric level. I started working. At 9:30 a.m., 455 ppm, minimum increase. Then I closed door and window to simulate winter conditions. Effects of CO2 concentration on the environment. Image: Vobu. At thirty minutes: 802 ppm. An hour later: almost 1,400 ppm. A little later: more than 1,600 ppm. Had already begun to notice That characteristic mental fatigue, that heaviness That a few days blame for fatigue. That inability to do well what you usually do well, mixed with apathy. It is not placebo, there are plenty of studies that support it. As Este de Harvard and Syracuse of 2015: The levels between 1,000 and 2,500 ppm – manner in offices – reduce up to 15% the yield in complex cognitive tasks. In decision -making, Hasdta 23%. I opened the window but not the door. The CO2 dropped from 1,600 to 800 ppm in 25 minutes. The next day, with cross current: same descent in 12 minutes. Half. A difference that did not expect so marked. In a short time, the level returned to 450 ppm. Graph of the Netatmo application during one of the tests: all night with the empty office, beginning of the morning working with everything open. I closed door and window. And when I reached the peak of almost 1,600 ppm, I opened back and window. And the fall was even faster than the climb. Image: Xataka. This shows the Netatmo app interface the CO2 concentration, visually indicating its condition, along with other values. Image: Xataka. Another test. Only opening door or window, the fall is slower than if we open both to create a current. Something we know always, but now we can quantify and assume with greater awareness. Image: Xataka. Netatmo has an error margin of ± 100 ppm up to 1,000 ppm, ± 10% above. It is not laboratory precision, but to understand your home it serves. The important thing is not the exact number but the evolution and its correlation with how you feel. With the passing of the days, varying openings and closures, I began to detect patterns. Ventilating more frequently than usual, sporadic apathy and mental mist. They are directly correlated with air renewal. Which takes me to the next point: The air conditioning. I sensed that I would not improve the concentration of CO2. Indeed: the air moves and cools, but does not renew it. Purifiers would not help except that they have outdoor entrance. They filter particles, do not eliminate gases such as carbon dioxide. When looking at the graph in more detail it is easy to see that by a lot of ventilation and current that there is, a human breathing inevitably increases the concentration of CO2 in the stay, and in a cumulative way. Although within the appropriate values. Around 6:00 h entered a few minutes (climb), I left shortly (low) and then returned to spend the whole morning (go up) until I went to eat (low). As if he had a presence detector. Image: Xataka. Image: Xataka. I brought the netatm to bedroom. Two people sleeping with a closed window and open door: CO2 rose from 450 to 1,100 ppm. Heavy awakening, feeling of not having rested. Next night with open window: maximum 640 ppm. I woke up remarkably clearer. He has convinced me to sleep with open window even in winter. The station measures more: interior/exterior temperature (with the separate module), humidity, barometric pressure, noise. It is expandable with pluviometer and anemometer. Elegant app, indefinite historical, integration Homekit flawless. But living vertically and without garden, for me the real value is in CO2. On the integration with homekit: when CO2 went from 1,100 ppm, this notification reached me in Mac (image) and iPhone. Image: Xataka. And notification on the iPhone. Image: Xataka. I have learned that working with more than 1,000 ppm is to function at 70% cognitive. The problem: do not notice immediately. Like that second cup that you think harmless until you try to add the head account. Now a lot more. Permanently open windows or, when time prevents it, more frequent openings than before. Do you justify 110 euros This learning? If you work in closed spaces, yes. Not for the apparatus, but for the consciousness it generates. He used to ventilate when “noticed the loaded atmosphere.” Now I know that when I notice, I’ve been working badly for an hour. It is the difference between driving with velocimeter or eye. The paradoxical thing is that after three weeks, Netatmo has taught me not to need it. My body has internalized the times and signs. I recognize that very slight ocular heaviness, that subtle friction in words flow. But Without the sensor’s objective data, I would never have developed this sensitivity. It’s like learning to refine an instrument: you first need the fingerboard, then your ear learn to recognize dissonance on its own.

Australia has analyzed teleworking since before pandemic. His conclusions disassemble the reasons for the return to the office

by

Although teleworking is no longer the preferred option by companies, or at least not their full -time variant, remote work continues to maintain much higher values that those who registered before pandemic. That shows that, in a way, teleworking does arrive to stay in Very specific contexts. Australia has been observing the real impact of teleworking for four years and consolidated data contradict old prejudices. “Working from home makes us happier,” The authors assure of a study by the University of Southern Australia, ciming a new more flexible and productive labor model. Time flexibility: the new office fruit. The Australian study is especially revealing because it began before the pandemic and the rise of teleworking and has been extended for four years, which leaves a much more defined photo of how remote work has impacted on the way of working and its consequences. According to the study, the possibility of choosing from where to work has allowed to improve both the mental and physical health of workers, although there is still a certain friction from corporate culture. According to A report of the International Labor Organization (OTI), the flexibility provided by teleworking is already equal to The emotional salary with which companies try to capture and retain the best employees, replacing other benefits. Most satisfied employees with their work. The data collected by the study reveal that before the pandemic, the Australian worker used about 4.5 hours per week only in displacements to the office. That time optimization It makes those who work from home enjoy “ten extra days of free time a year against those who go to the office”, dedicating 33% of that time to leisure, which implies “more opportunities to be physically active and less sedentary.” A factor that also highlighted the Academic Study which was carried out in Spain from the Lacaixa Foundation. According to the authors, these data “usually go hand in hand with worse mental health and with lower scores in the assessment of our own health.” Thanks to teleworking, employees have gained “hours of rest to sleep and, for example, breakfast more peacefully”, which helps reduce levels of template stress. In turn, this recovered time also has a reflection in healthier habits, such as home preparation or the increase in the consumption of fruits, vegetables and dairy. The result has been a more varied and healthy diet, with less dependence on ultraprocessed foods that require less preparation time. Positive whenever it is by choice. If something has shown us the experience of “forced” teleworking during the confinements of 2020 is that the teleworking It is not for everyone. Since this study allows to contrast the situation of employees before and after the massive arrival of teleworking, it also reveals how it affects that change of work model in workers The researchers found that the well -being and mental health They improved especially when teleworking was voluntarily chosen, while “when employees work from home for obligation, mental health and well -being tend to get worse.” Productivity in evidence. One of the main arguments of companies for the return to the office has been the alleged fall in productivity that was associated with teleworking. In this sense, researchers blame the problem more to an inability to assign tasks and New model management not in a direct casuistry of teleworking. “In many cases, managers who claim that teleworking reduces productivity responds more to a lack of management than a real performance problem,” says researchers in their conclusions. The conclusion after four years of monitoring is unequivocal: work performance and productivity seem to stay stable or, in most cases, improve when working from home. These results coincide With other research that They disconnect the decrease in productivity of the company with the teleworking. The distance does affect the cohesion of the equipment. Great corporations like Amazon wielded The argument of the cohesion of the equipment To impose The return to the office. In that sense, the study prepared by Australian researchers recognizes that “the connection with the classmates is difficult to reproduce at a distance,” admit those responsible for the study, and alert about the risk of loss of cohesion in the work teams. But, as has been demonstrated with some strategies back to the office, the problem can be mitigated by facilitating efficient communication channels. A Recent study Posted in the magazine Naturerevealed that this Team cohesion problem It currently persists with the hybrid day model, provided that consistent communication patterns are not established.

We knew that many use Starbucks as an office. In South Korea they lead to the printer, and the chain has said enough

by

Enter a Starbucks store and meet several people installed with your laptop It is no novelty. The spacious tables, the plugs available, the air conditioning and, of course, the coffee, make these premises a habitual shelter for students and remote workers. A printer on the table. A cardboard separator to isolate itself from the world. A strip to plug laptop, mobile and tablet at the same time. All this has been seen – and is still seen – in some South Korea Starbucks. The phenomenon has shot, and therefore, the chain has decided to intervene. New standards in South Korea. The new regulation is clear: no printers, multi -mitoms or accessories that convert the premises into a portable office. This is what The Korea Herald collects itwhich adds that it is also not allowed to occupy several chairs or leave belongings for hours to “reserve” table. The original poster (left), the translation of Google Lens (right) From this week, employees have instructions to warn those who fail these guidelines. The measure communicates with a poster that already decorates dozens of stores in the country. And although the message is illustrated with a smiling bear, the background has nothing tender. What does it mean to be a 카공족. In South Korea, 카공족 It is the name that receives “the tribe that studies in coffee.” The term combines the words 카페 (cafeteria) and 공부 (study), and is used to describe those who spend hours working or reviewing notes in premises such as Starbucks. What began as a practical and punctual solution has become such a widespread custom that now raises a dilemma: is it a legitimate use of space or silent abuse of the common environment? The social reaction. The Donga Ilbo medium collects The testimony of Professor Seo Kyung-Duk, from the Sungshin Women’s University, who shared the image of the computer equipment with the cardboard separator: “It looks like a private office.” SEgún explainedeven the foreigner who accompanied him was bewildered: “How can anyone mark their territory in a public place like a cafeteria?” He asked, surprised. Some of the images that account for 카공족 in South Korea The author of the photo explained that this person did not return in all the time he remained in the store: “I spent three hours there and did not return once,” he said. Meanwhile, Asia Economy echoed some Of the most repeated reactions among users: “There is not even room to have coffee because of the 카공족,” said a person. Another ironized: “They leave their things and they will eat … is this a ‘Study Café’ or what?” Why have Starbucks Korea acted now? Starbucks has not acted in whim. According to the company, what is at stake is the collective experience. When a large table is occupied for hours by a single person, or when a client is absent leaving their objects as a reservation, the balance between those who enter, consume and leave, and those who turn the place into a personal office. There is also a commercial logic. Maintaining rotation is key in a business where each table counts. If someone occupies a seat for four hours with a single coffee, the impact is not anecdotal. If not, tell the owners of coffees in Barcelona, They are applying their own formula “anti occupies terraces”.

The remake of ‘Hold it as you can’ has worked very well at the box office. Excellent news for an almost dead genre: comedy

by

The new version of ‘Hold it as you can are not exactly a rarity: in a cinematographic panorama absolutely full of sequelae and remakesa new version of a 1988 classic is not a precisely revolutionary decision. Something more surprising sounds, however, that we are talking about REBOOT of a mythical comedy, which returns to the gender to the rooms through the big door. AGARRATE IT 2025. We all know ‘hold it as you can’: A trilogy of police comedies that the Zaz trio rolled after ‘lands as you can’, and that made Leslie Nielsen late and throbbing star of the surreal chufla. His success unleashed all kinds of imitations, some more fortunate than others (and in Spain, many of them with the “… as you can” by the title), and now enjoy a new installment with Lian Neeson and Pamela Anderson. And all respecting the original canon: destroying parody of the thriller codes, and prominence of a star not known for its comic roles and that puts an unexpected and devastating vision on the table. Well, it has worked. It has not become the number one of the box office (it was possibly either its intention, it remains behind ‘The fantastic 4’ and ‘bad types 2’), but he has had a great start in the United States: 17 million dollars, plus 11.5 million in the countries where it has premiered (Spain does not reach August 22). A budget of 42 million is estimated, so it is an excellent starting point, in a film that can grow and stay in the rooms if your mouth works. And there are reasons to believe that mouth mouth could be activated, because also against any forecast, the film is collecting very good opinions: an a- In Cinemascore and a 90% in Rotten Tomatoes They corroborate it. Long live comedy. This box office triumph is more than a punctual success: it is a success for a genre that had not enjoyed something like that for many years. In fact, Neeson himself ironized about it in An ad that has been seen as the promotion of the filmand in which he claimed different comedies (all from Paramount, producer of this new version): ‘The reporter’, ‘Out of wave’, ‘Hot Rod’, ‘Superdetective in Hollywood’, ‘Rock School’, ‘The Truman Show’, ‘Zoolander’ and others. The web Savecomedy.org Refer to the web where you can buy tickets for the new ‘hold it as you can’. Comedy is a serious thing. Although the video is a joke, the question is very serious. Because the study comedy, with great stars, has not died at all. But Yes has done it in the rooms: Being a genre where the show is not the priority, to a large extent it has been relegated to streaming, or shyly enters combination with other genres to Abrise step towards the rooms. ‘Lilo and Stitch‘It’s family cinema,’ Novocaina ‘is action cinema,’Mickey 17‘, science fiction, and’A Minecraft movie‘, an adventure fantasy. Except for some other very punctual example, such as ‘Bridget Jones: crazy with him’ or ‘somewhat pregnant’, which do not stand out especially at the box office, the case of ‘holding it out as you can’, a pure and adulteration comedy, it is a rarity. Much more that is successful. There are no stars. It is a pity that actors that we previously identified with comedy, such as Will Ferrell, Melissa McCarthy or Adam Sandler have been recycling or directly disappearing from the map (or, in the case of Sandler, taking refuge in the streamingwhere he obtains very juicy dividends). Will we see a resurgence of those times in which ‘Porky’s’ (in the eighties), ‘American Pie’ (in the nineties) or ‘Virgin at forty’ (in the two thousandsses) they generated trends, made authors and distribute emerged and unleashed a wave of copies? Hold it as you can get it in his day, Maybe your reboot can work again. Header | Paramount In Xataka | The figures suggest that the domain of blockbusters in Hollywood is not over. In fact, it will go worse

Netflix has 15,000 titles but we end up seeing ‘The Office’ by Quinvez. Productivity apps make us the same

We have 15,000 titles in Netflix and we end up seeing ‘The Office‘For the fifth time. We have a complete suite of productivity apps on the mobile and we end up writing the tasks in A whatsapp with ourselves. It is the same psychological mechanism working in two different contexts: when you have too many options, your brain is blocked and returns to the known. The world of productivity has fallen into the same trap as the platforms of streaming. They sell us infinite customization as an advantage when it is actually a ballast: Notion It allows you to create any imaginable system. Obsidian has more than 800 pLugins Todoist It has configurations for each micronecessity of your workflow. It sounds great until you realize that you have been configuring the perfect system and you have not completed a task. There is fascinating investigation into this. Barry Schwartz showed That more options not only make us happier, but they paralyze us. Each configuration decision consumes mental energy that you could be using to do real work. And here comes the paradox: We value less systems that come preconfiguredalthough they work better than those we have customized until death. The solution is contraintuitive: The most restrictive systems are usually more productive. Apple, for example, understood it a long time. It doesn’t let you change almost anything from the iPhone, but that’s why it works. Limitation is not a bugIt is one feature. You strength to act instead of optimizing forever. The secret is to choose intelligent restrictions. Instead of looking for the tool that can do everything, Look for what does the three things you really need well. Let’s look at a specific example: task management. Notion allows you to create relational databases with personalized properties, dynamic filters, multiple views and automation. You can categorize by project, priority, context, required energy, responsible person. You can create control panels that show productivity metrics and progress graphics. It is the dream of any obsessive control. But While you build that perfect system, your real tasks accumulate. You spend more time thinking about how to organize the work than working. And when you finally have your masterpiece configured, it turns out that it is so complex that using it requires more mental effort than doing the tasks by hand. Contrasts this with Things 3. You have three drawers: Inbox, today, and someday. Spot. You can’t create custom fields, you can’t do Dashboards Made, you cannot automate anything complex. It seems limited compared to Notion. But precisely because of that it works: you open the app, you see what to do today, you do it, you call it. Zero cognitive friction. The usual lesson: Productivity is not about having more options, but about eliminating irrelevant decisions. Your mental energy is finite. Every minute you spend configuring is a minute you don’t spend creating. The most elegant systems are not the ones that can do everything, but those that make obvious what to do next.
