China has turned OpenClaw into a viral phenomenon. And then it has prohibited its officials from using it

by

The appearance of the AI ​​agent OpenClaw has meant that we are living in a kind of second “DeepSeek moment“They know it well in China, where its use has exploded in such a way that the Government has had to act. And it has probably done well. An absolutely viral AI. The OpenClaw project has caused a real earthquake in China. In cities like Shenzhen there are queues to physically install it and people paying for others to install it remotely or in person. The AI ​​agent is breaking all popularity records for programming projects, and for example has already surpassed two legends such as React or Linux in terms of stars awarded on GitHub, a measure of the popularity of open source projects. In just three months, OpenClaw has managed to surpass the legendary leaders of this ranking in GitHub stars: react and linux. Source: Star-History.com Solution to Chinese fragmentation. The secret of this success in the Asian giant is not based only on the curiosity of users, but also on the fact that OpenClaw provides a striking solution to an endemic problem in the country: the fragmentation of business software. With an average of 150 independent IT systems per company and 60% of them without APIs or documentation, AI integration seemed to be an insurmountable wall. OpenClaw solves the problem because you can take control of the machine, “see” buttons and text boxes, click and type in browsers, and operate as if you were a human. Tokens everywhere. That ability has turned this project into an absolute “token hole.” Unlike a conventional chatbot like ChatGPT, OpenClaw works continuously and autonomously, and it is not uncommon to see an advanced user consume 50 million tokens daily. The impact has been massive: at the end of February, Chinese models such as Kimi 2.5 or DeepSeek were already devouring 61% of the global OpenRouter tokens, a platform that allows you to easily use APIs from dozens of AI models. The fever has been such that Kimi has generated in 20 days more income than all expected by its creator, Moonshot IA, by 2025. Alarm. The problem is precisely that: when software has the ability to “see” everything that happens on a screen and execute commands by itself, the security risks are enormous. This has made the Beijing government go from enthusiasm—cities like Shenzhen offer million-dollar subsidies for their development—to a policy that is now totally restrictive. Government agencies, state-owned companies and large national banks have received urgent notices prohibiting the installation of OpenClaw in office devices and even in mobile phones that are used in this type of segments. Be careful with your data. Practically since it went viral, many have warned of the cybersecurity risks involved in using OpenClaw. An initial audit of the skills available on ClawdHub detected hundreds of them as malicious. That was the germ of the OpenClaw alliance with the Spanish cybersecurity firm VirusTotalpart of Google. The risk with this project is threefold: You have access to private data Can communicate with the outside You are exposed to untrustworthy content and attacks from prompt injection One of lime and one of sand. For large Chinese technology companies, the government’s measures are bittersweet. On the one hand, they have rushed to offer one-click OpenClaw deployments in their clouds for interested users. On the other hand, state restriction has meant that some of the AI ​​startups such as Zhipu (Knowledge Atlas Technology JSC Ltd.) or MiniMax Group have quickly fallen on the stock market for the news. China and control. There is another key element in that political movement: the loss of control. The Beijing government has already fought a battle in the past to curb the power of giants like Alibaba, and that caused the “Asian Jeff Bezos”, Jack Ma, came out very badly. An autonomous AI agent that operates outside of that government control represents a challenge to the mechanisms that China has been perfecting, especially with its Great Firewall. An uncertain future. These new restrictions pose a complex future for the project in China. The Asian giant has embraced AI more than anyone else, but the security risks in this case are so clear that limits had to be set before things got out of control. Even so, the project is Open Source, which will make it difficult for its deployment to be halted by end users and enthusiasts, no matter how much the Chinese Government wants it.

They have found a way even though it is prohibited

by

Elizabeth Holmes answer in Xfrom prison, to the questions of his followers. Harvey Weinstein give interviews to a podcast without leaving the cell. A prey launches an AI-generated clone of you on his Instagram profile. These are not isolated cases at all: technology is redefining what it means to be “incommunicado” when you serve a sentence. Cell phones in prison. Wait a minute: how come influencers in prison? Isn’t the use of cell phones prohibited in prison? Yes and no, at least in the United States: the Federal Bureau of Prisons has maintained a system called TRULINCS (Trust Fund Limited Inmate Computer System) since 2009, designed to provide prisoners with limited access to electronic messaging without an internet connection. To be more specific, the system does not allow inmates to access the web, all incoming and outgoing messages are monitored and emails are limited to 13,000 characters with no attachments. Social networks are also completely out of authorization. Who pays it? The inmate himself: the operation is so restrictive that inmates can only write to a maximum of 30 previously approved external contacts, and the service costs $0.05 per minute, paid directly from the inmate’s own funds. This money comes from the inmate’s work in prison, but no one gets rich there: an inmate receives an income of barely 15 dollars a month working inside the center, so use the mail server It can become a luxury. Influencers by proximity. How then do figures like the aforementioned Holmes (convicted of fraud and founder of Theranos, a Silicon Valley company that promised to revolutionize blood tests with a single drop, eventually being valued at $10 billion) or Sam Bankman-Fried (former CEO of FTX, one of the largest cryptocurrency platforms, guilty of one of the largest financial frauds in US history)? They transfer the management of their accounts to trusted people outside the premises. George Santos (former Republican congressman convicted of wire fraud, donor identity theft and embezzlement of campaign funds for personal use and whose sentence was commuted by Trump) acknowledged that nine people managed his profiles while he was inside. The system explicitly prohibits inmates from operating or maintaining social media accounts, and there is an intention to toughen sanctions limiting the ability of third parties to post content on behalf of the prisoner. It is a legal and ethical gray area. And in Spain? Before we continue, let’s be clear about the differences: we do not have any unified electronic messaging infrastructure comparable to TRULINCS. In Spain, the technology available to prisoners is, in most cases, analog: radio, television, and computers without an internet connection for those who study with the UNED or participate in workshops. From 2022, yes, there are a reform of Royal Decree 268/2022 that modified the Penitentiary Regulations to open the door to teleworking, videoconferences with family members, the presentation of complaints online and internet access in the centers’ libraries. Everything depending, obviously, on the infrastructure of each prison. Prisoners who speak. The figure of the inmate who tries to speak to the world from his cell is not new. For decades, television was the only channel, and personalities like American journalist Barbara Walters They made it a common format, with long conversations with criminals from prison, such as the Menéndez brothers, the scammer Bernie Madoff or the actor Robert Blake while he was awaiting trial for the murder of his wife. The next step has been podcasts: famous journalists (significantly, always conservative) like Tucker Carlson or Candace Owens have used the format for interviewing people as prominent as Harvey Weinstein. This appeared on Owens’ podcast in his first interview in almost ten years since Rikers Island. Prisoners by AI. The most extreme case of this kind of virtual exit from prison walls is in the case of Nicole Daedone. She was convicted in 2025 for conspiracy to commit forced labor within the framework of the OneTaste company. Her team published a video on Instagram in which an AI-generated clone read a message to her followers: a synthetic replica of Daedone herself thus communicated with her audience while she was physically detained. A curious step forward that faces a new legal loophole, since there is no rule that prohibits an external team from publishing AI-generated content on behalf of an inmate, as long as that content was not produced within the prison. The future. In this way, a multitude of opinions and positions come together. There are lawyers who, significantly and as The Hollywood Reporter specifies, believe that presence on social networks can distort the image of the accused and, ultimately, their public image, and end up harming them. But how it has been saidMartin Luther King wrote his ‘Letter from Birmingham Jail’ on papers that his lawyers distributed. Today, his wife Coretta would have published it on Twitter.

Yes, the DGT has limited the maximum speed to 80 km/h and has prohibited overtaking. And there’s a good reason for that: wind.

by

In Spain the weather is bad. I don’t know if you had noticed but we have had rain, snow and very strong winds for a month and a half. Meteorological events that are impacting all types of sectors. Also that of mobility, where closed roads, incidents on the road and restrictions are being the general trend. If you go to your favorite social network and read that the DGT has limited the speed to 80 km/h, don’t panic. It’s normal. At 80 km/h maximum. And overtaking prohibited by order of the DGT. It is a headline that has been repeated in the last two days and has spread across social networks. Headlines that hid an essential word to understand the information: temporal. Meteorological storm, because the restrictions are due to the clash of storms that we have chained for days and weeks in the Iberian Peninsula. And temporary because the restrictions are not definitive, they are simply used to maintain safety on the road. The restrictions. One of the provinces that found the most restrictions of this type during the past weekend was Castellón. The region has had to live with an orange alert for wind and the DGT decided that the maximum speed at which one could drive on Saturday was 80 km/h on three roads in the province, where overtaking was also prohibited. The trucks They were also not allowed to circulate on the AP-7. Yesterday, Sunday, normality was recovered. These restrictions have obviously been temporary. And, effectively, the DGT can apply temporary restrictions on speed or overtaking for meteorological reasons, just as can close a road to traffic due to snow or it can be restricted to those who They drive with chains or winter tires. For security. The wind is a danger on the road and overtaking is critical when there are very high wind gusts. In particular, some are very dangerous: Screen effect: when you drive through a tunnel or infrastructure that cuts off the side wind and it disappears. At that moment, a gust of wind can move the car to one side of the road and If we are caught off guard the movement will be sharper. Overtaking: something very similar happens when we overtake a large truck or van. In this case, if we are fighting a crosswind, passing a vehicle will automatically cut off the force we receive. You have to be careful because normally we have been moving the steering wheel to the right slightly to counteract the force of the wind. By overtaking the truck, that resistance disappears and we can go against the vehicle on our right, adding that the truck or van fights not to go to the left, which can end in contact. Furthermore, when overtaking, we will again feel the screen effect described above, so we must be careful and remain attentive. Trailers: Both situations are especially dangerous if we drive a vehicle with a trailer since, in that case, the car does not receive the same forces as its rear part and, in an extreme case, movement angles that are difficult to manage can arise. What does the DGT recommend? The first thing we must do is adapt our speed to the traffic circumstances. The DGT has the power to reduce the speed of the road to 80 km/h and prohibit overtaking, but the logical and essential thing is to apply common sense and take your foot off the accelerator. Taking this into account, we must remain very attentive to resolve any gusts of wind. If this happens, you have to act gently, calmly. The DGT also recommends circulate in high gears (one lower than usual) to have a greater response from the engine if we need to get out of trouble. And remember that the more voluminous and taller a vehicle is, the more risk it has of overturning, the more complex it will be to control it and the more care we must take when overtaking it.

The Nazis produced 1,200 films. 44 of them remain prohibited and guarded by the German Government to this day.

by

In the Faculty of Information Sciences of the Complutense University of Madrid An optional subject is taught called History of informative and documentary cinema. A few years ago, the teacher who taught that class had the habit of giving his students fragments of ‘The triumph of the will‘, the documentary that Leni Riefenstahl directed about the Nazi party congress in Nuremberg, in 1934. She always added that she only showed those fragments because, if she put it in its entirety, she feared that we would want to join the party. ‘Triumph of the Will’ is one of the more than 1,200 films that the Ministry of Propaganda German, under the command of Joseph Goebbels, produced to spread Nazi ideals, anti-Semitism and to justify the Second World War. When the war ended, the Allies banned about 300 of them, and 44 are still on that list in charge of the German government. Why are these movies banned? Those forty-four were the subject of a documentary a few years ago, ‘Forbidden Films’which not only explained what kind of tapes they were and what they were about, but also asked whether they should no longer be banned and what legacy they might have left, 70 years after the end of the war. Your director, Felix Moellerproduced it in the face of disinterest of German youth about the history of the Nazis and the rise of the extreme right in Europe, and the documentary shows the reactions of different people when watching some of these films. Because the German government does allow their exhibition, but for educational purposes and with an expert in the room to explain and contextualize them. In the trailer you can already see some of these opinions, from those who are surprised because these films have good technical quality and are entertaining, to those who think that some of them should remain prohibited because they were, at the time, Nazi symbols, such as ‘The Jew Süss‘, which was probably the most successful of all the productions promoted by Goebbels. ‘The Jew Süss’ was the second film adaptation of the life of Joseph Süss Oppenheimer, financial advisor to the Duke of Württemberg during the 18th century and who was accused of fraud, bribery, treason and even illicit relations with several ladies of the court, and executed for these crimes. His story had been treated in books and even in plays that generally focused on it as a great human tragedy. But Goebbels saw that he could present Süss as a arrogant jew who infiltrated the Germans to take away what was theirs. He already had the most important piece in his cinematic anti-Semitic propaganda. ‘The Jew Süss’ was a great popular success. It was screened at the 1940 Venice Film Festival, receiving good reviews for its technical workmanship, reviews that did not seem to be aware of the ultimate objective of the film. Goebbels himself wrote in his diary about the film that it was “an anti-Semitic film of the kind we could only wish for. I’m very happy about it.” Good but dangerous movies In 1994, the film critic Roger Ebert wrote about one of those 44 banned Nazi films, ‘Triumph of the Will’, that “we would all have reflected on the received opinion that the film is good but evil, and that writing about it raises the question of whether quality art can be in the service of evil.” Ebert asked himself the same question with ‘The Birth of a Nation’, RW Griffith’s film that is considered one of the founding works of cinema and, at the same time, deeply racist. Those films, at the time, were not considered that way. Luis Buñuel himself stated in his memories that, in 1935, no one in Hollywood thought that ‘Triumph of the Will’ was dangerous because there were too many regional dances and too many songs for its propaganda message to be taken seriously. The Second World War drastically changed that perception, but until then, the productions of the Ministry of Propaganda Germans used entertaining stories to convey their ideals. They portrayed the British as cruel inventors of concentration camps or justified the invasion of Poland by showing the Poles persecuting the German minority living there. They could be full of stereotypes, historical manipulations and blatant attempts to “brainwash” their viewers, but they were well produced and shot and were very successful at the time. For all these reasons, they remain prohibited. But should they continue to be? In ‘Forbidden films’ there are scholars who claim that these films clearly show what should not be repeated in the future and that, therefore, their access to them should not be restricted, while former members of neo-Nazi parties point out another reason for them to be removed from the “black list”: “When something is prohibited, it becomes interesting. Prohibiting things makes them fascinating and taboo because if it is prohibited, it must be true to a certain extent.” Other Banned Non-Nazi Films Nazi ideological propaganda is the reason why these 44 films remain banned in Germany, which also has a great controversy over the passage to public domain of ‘Mein Kampf’but throughout the history of cinema there have been films that have also been included in “blacklists” for reasons that can range from accusations of obscenity to, directly, blasphemy. Or it could have happened to them like ‘The great dictator‘, the satire that Charles Chaplin made of Hitler and Mussolini, in 1940, and which was banned in Argentina precisely for that parody, since Germany had been an ally of Juan Domingo Perón. It was even on the verge of not being shown in the United Kingdom because, when filming was announced, the country was trying to appease Hitler in his expansionist desires for Europe. When it was released, however, the British were already at war with the Germans and there was no reason for its censorship. You don’t have to go to China or countries with fundamentalist regimes to find the most … Read more

Madrid riders have been using municipal bikes for some time despite it being prohibited. The City Council is tired

by

When it was released, more than a decadeBicimad was proposed as a public transport service with shared bikes. His idea was very simple: make it easier (and cheaper) for Madrid residents to get around the city by bike. Over time, its network of vehicles and stations has expanded, but it has also attracted a new type of user: riders interested in their benefits and low cost who rent them, skipping the regulation. Now the City Council has said enough. What has happened? That Madrid has grown tired of the riders use during your deliveries Bicimada public bicycle rental service. The message has been conveyed with crystal clear the delegate of Urban Planning, Environment and Mobility of the City Council, Borja Carabante, who recalled that the system was designed to be used by individuals (such as neighbors or tourists) not so that economic benefit could be taken from it, a possibility clearly banned in its regulations. Is the problem that serious? Yes. And no. The Municipal Transport Company (EMT) recognize that he is not aware that the riders are making “massive use” of Bicimad, although it has detected “some cases.” Much clearer has been Carabante, who assures that it is a practice that “we all see” on the street and seems to be getting worse. In fact, the City Council speaks of “an increase”. What does the regulations say? The issue is not so much that the practice is more or less widespread as that it completely fails to comply with the bases (and spirit) that regulate the service. In its chapter XI the document that sets the conditions of use slips several ideas, including one that closes the doors to riders and other delivery people. “The bicycle will be used exclusively for the transportation of users, and cannot transport other people, animals or merchandise,” collect the text. “Nor can the bicycle, nor the stations, be used for commercial purposes.” Why do they use them then? For its advantages. Bicimad offers more than 7,700 bikes and 630 stations spread across 21 districts of the capital. Those who use the service can enjoy electric bikes with a 250W central motor and 70 kilometers of autonomy for a fee of only 10 euros monthly. The service offers free, unlimited rides of up to 30 minutes. After that time, the second 30-minute fraction costs 0.5 and the subsequent three euros. In addition, its users are insured. A rider Anyone who wanted to buy a similar urban bike to deliver orders would have to pay hundreds of eurosat least. This without taking into account the wear and tear of the vehicle and another of the great advantages of Bicimad: the station network and charging points. Those responsible they calculate The service currently has 450,000 monthly users who make journeys that, on average, last just over 15 minutes. What does the City Council want to do? For now he has made it clear that he is aware that the riders They are misusing bikes and he is not willing to turn a blind eye. How he will respond and how far he is willing to go in his endeavor is another matter. The City Council has stated that it will look for a way to “disincentivize” delivery drivers from taking advantage of Bicimad and to do so, one of the options on the table is to apply extra rates to them. “We will have to see if there is some type of specific rate for this type of activity and we are analyzing possible alternatives so that it does not occur,” Carabante specifiedwho recognizes that what has sparked the interest of riders and has caused the use of Bicimad to increase among the group (according to the data managed by the City Council) it is precisely the “low rates” that the service applies, which “makes its use attractive” by the delivery people. Are you considering anything else? Yeah. Increase controls at street level. The City Council of the capital has recognized The World He plans to pay more attention to who rents the bikes to get a more precise idea of ​​the problem. “To assess whether any measure must be taken to avoid this type of use, the EMTE will soon begin a surveillance campaign to monitor these activities,” keep it up. “According to these results, actions will be applied to discourage use for commercial activities.” They won’t have it easy. The riders They use the same cards as the rest of the users and to confirm that they are using the service for commercial purposes, the police would have to stop them. Hence, for example, at the moment the improper use of bicycles is not being penalized either. The problem is not entirely new, but the City Council seems determined to put an end to a custom that, as the delegate alertsharms individuals who want to use public bicycles.

London prohibited renting homes on Airbnb more than 90 days a year. You will not believe what happened: prices lowered

by

In 2017 it was Airbnb itself that introduced an innovative limit in the city of London: 90 annual days as a stop for complete housing rentals. The measure, adopted after authorities pressure Local and London’s town hall, sought to prevent the platform from being used fraudulently. Today we know that the consequence, although weak, was expected: up to 4%. Airbnb and London. Airbnb’s growth in London during the 2010 made the city one of the main focus of the collaborative economy, with More than 40,000 properties offered and an annual expansion. However, what was born as a specific form of income for individuals quickly became a business for professional operators. Almost A quarter From the advertisements of complete housing they exceeded the threshold of the 90 annual rental nights without having the required permission, which took thousands of floors from the residential market. The phenomenon generated neighborhood complaints about the constant rotation of temporary tenants and additional pressure on a market already tensioning for the lack of affordable housing. The political reaction. The lack of capacity of the municipalities to monitor these excesses led to local leaders Como Sarah Haywardin Camden, to denounce that whole neighborhoods were being emptied of long -term rent. Given this situation, Airbnb recognized that the regulation was inescapable and that it should prevent its platform from being used as a way to operate undercover hotels. The measure had the support of opposition politicians, Like Tom Copleythat demanded a firm response to stop the negative effects on local communities. The 90 -day rule. Thus, given the growing pressure, Airbnb decided to introduce in 2017 An automatic limitation: No host could rent a complete home more than 90 nights per year unless it was proven to have authorization from the Consistory. It was a way of transferring the legal restriction directly to the code of the application itself, preventing the ads from remaining active once the limit is exceeded. With this measure, the company tried to stop Operators’ abuse professionals and project a commitment to urban sustainability. The change was well received by local managers, who considered that only a platform level control could guarantee the effective compliance of the norm. The impact on prices. Now, with the data of recent studiesan open secret has been confirmed: that the Airbnb expansion reduced the residential rental offer and uploaded prices in several districts in London. But not just that. The introduction of the 90 -day rule allowed for a time to mitigate part of these effects, with a registered fall around 4.1% in housing price rates after the entry into force of the regulation. In other words: the episode became a reference to analyze how digital platforms can transform urban markets and to what extent regulation itself can correct its externalities. The (great) dilemma. The London case reflects a gallimatisms present in many other large cities: How to balance the economic attraction of digital platforms with the need to protect housing as a social good. While Airbnb defenders highlight the flexibility, diversification of tourism and additional income for families, their critics underline the Gentrificationthe Tourist saturation and the loss of tissue Community London, in this way, became In a laboratory Of this tension, showing that without a robust regulatory framework (and, very important, sustained), the impact on housing can be devastating. A precedent. The introduction of The London rule He had an international impact, by inspiring other local governments to establish similar limits. European and American cities closely observed The experimentverifying that the combination of technological automation and political control could reduce adverse effects. The debate, of course, remains more than open: to what extent the platforms must self -regulate, and how far the states will impose restrictions to safeguard the right to housing. The citywith its mixture of neighborhood pressure, empirical data And political decisions, it was erected at a turning point in the relationship between digital economy and urban policies. Comparative with other “great.” As we said, the London frame was not isolated. In Berlinthe proliferation of tourist rentals led to the introduction of fines of up to 100,000 euros For those who rent more than half of their home without permission, a rule that sought to avoid the massive conversion of residential buildings into tourist accommodations. In Barcelonathe City Council has undertaken A crusade Against illegal tourist floors, closing hundreds of ads and fine Airbnb for not removing accommodations without a license, in an attempt to contain the expulsion of neighbors in central neighborhoods (while hotels prices rose). In New Yorkthe restrictions focused in limiting rentals of complete apartments when the owner did not live in the same property, accompanied by daily sanctions of up to $ 1,000to prevent whole blocks from being converted into clandestine hotels. San Francisco set sanctions from up to $ 1,000 newspapers not to register the properties. All examples that show how cities, each with their legal and social peculiarities, agreed on an essential point: the Airbnb phenomenon had overcome the border of technological innovation to become a real political and urban challenge of the first order.

The calls spam from numbers 600 and 700 will be prohibited from tomorrow. The question is where you will call you now

by

Saturday, June 7. It is the date on which the normative reform through which the realization of commercial calls from numbers assigned to mobile lines comes into force It is prohibited. The Minister for Digital and Public Transformation advanced in mid -May two amendments to achieve it. From that date, the operators cannot call you from a 6xx number, they will have to do it from an 800 or 900. The question now is what number we can call. The change. Until now, companies had free way to Call you from phone numbers with prefix 6 or 7the same ones that have any individual on your mobile phone. It was a tactic that prevented the user from recognizing a first glance whether or not they were calling him from an advertising department, and one with which the Government will end immediately. From June 7, any call for commercial purposes must be made from a number with prefix 800 or 900. It will be the way we will have the Spaniards to recognize when they are calling us for advertising purposes. Additional to this measure, companies They can’t call you from foreign numbersnor formalize the closure of a contract by phone. The reactions. Digi, one of the operators that grows the most in Spain and aspires to occupy the national top 3 in the short term, It has been the first to move file. Until now, the company could contact the number 642 642 642 and 1200. With the new change, the new customer service is 919 120 120. All calls received from customer service will be from that 900, a practice that the rest of the operators will have to follow immediately to comply with the new regulation. At the moment, giants like Vodafone Where will you have to call you. As a consumer, when calling, change will affect you in cases where the company completely eliminates the number 600 for customer service. The law forces them to call you from 900, but does not prohibit that you call a 600. It will be necessary to inform themselves on the website of each of the companies to know how the changes have applied. Companies are obliged to replace this prefix for a 900 or 800 for their outgoing calls, but Digi has shown that “The easy number” (1200, 1004, 1444) which we always call will remain alive. It is a logical movement, since the legislation does not modify the numbers to those we call Consumers only affect numbers From those who call us. The problem. Although the government wants to reduce the impact of the so -called spam in Spain, the underlying problem remains alive: The consent. Even if you are in the Robinson list, you may receive calls from companies that you think you have not given permission. Sometimes, we have been able to give consent without even knowing it (having formalized a contract, giving a “yes” during a call, etc.). The foundations of “Legitimate interest” They are also diffuse. If the company calls to improve our service and offer discounts, It can be considered as a desired communication.

A chip for the much cheaper than its H20 prohibited by the US

by

In early May we tell you that Nvidia engineers were working on the development of A trimmed review of your GPU for artificial intelligence (AI) H20 with the purpose of Place it on the Chinese market. To understand what is happening the first thing we should keep in mind is that during the last fiscal year, which expired on January 26, 2025, China represented approximately 13% of total income of the company led by Jensen Huang with a figure of about 17,000 million dollars. In practice, the country governed by Xi Jinping is the third best client of this company only behind the US and Taiwan. However, the sanctions to China that are deploying the US government threatens Nvidia’s survival in this Asian country. Currently this company cannot sell its chips to its Chinese clients for the most advanced. And in the middle of last April the US Department of Commerce imposed new export restrictions on China from The H20 GPU of Nvidia. Nvidia is going to assault China with a chip for the much cheaper than its H20 The reception they have given to the GPU H20 The Chinese clients of Nvidia has been very good despite the fact that the capabilities of this chip are clearly lower than those of the other proposals for the this company. In fact, initially the Department of Commerce allowed its sale in China because this integrated circuit met the restrictions it had imposed. And despite its limitations its sales in China 50% quarter to quarter have grown Since he arrived in this market in mid -2024. TSMC will not use its advanced cowos packaging in the manufacture of this chip. It is one of the reasons why its price is restrained Anyway, this time of bonanza is over. The restrictions of the Department of Commerce in practice prevent Nvidia Deliver the H20 GPU to its Chinese clientsbut This company does not give up. And is that, according to Reutersin June the Taiwanese manufacturer of TSMC semiconductors, the largest on the planet, will begin the manufacture of a new GPU for NVIDIA with the latest Blackwell microarchitecture. Presumably this is the chip with which Nvidia will aspire to maintain its domain in the Chinese market. However, before being able to send these GPU to China, the company led by Jensen Huang will have to receive the approval of the US Department of Commerce. What we know at the moment is that this chip for AI will be less capable than the H20 GPU, as is logical, and also that its price will move between $ 6,500 and $ 8,000. For domestic users it is a lot of money, but in the field of professional GPUs for AI it is a moderate price. In fact, the GPU H20 Cuesta Between 10,000 and $ 12,000so it is evident that Nvidia wants to protect the competitiveness of this chip to prevent Huawei, Moore Threads and other Chinese companies from snatching a juicy portion of this market.

Internet has been trying to locate Granada places that come out in a prohibited film starring a Nazi

by

“A film full of humanity without any trend.” With that overprinting phrase on the screen it starts ‘Solange du Lebst’. A “neither right -wing” manual “that, however, hides a Nazi propaganda film that did not come to be seen in Spain but, surprisingly, in Germans after World War II, where he unleashed a considerable scandal. Today is completely missing. ‘Solange du Lebst’ (in Spanish it could be translated by ‘While you live’) is the closest thing to a cursed film mixture and, at the same time, purely, propaganda. We are facing una movie comparable to which both sides of the war rolled In large quantities, each favoring yours. Those of the allied side are better known, since Hollywood He launched all his machinery so that even non -war movies such as the Westerns or the suspense cinema would insufferate the ideology that the allies were interested in propagating. On the Nazi side the Fiction and propaganda films They are less popular, however much documentaries such as ‘The triumph of the will’ have gone down in the history of cinema for the power of the propaganda imagery of Goebbels, which produced 1200 films, Many of them prohibited for decades. But films like ‘El Arrow Quex’, ‘I wait for you’, ‘President Krüger’ or ‘Kolberg’ were not as well known as their American counterparts due to their low film quality. In Spain, in fact, the laughible ‘race’, the milestone of Franco’s fiction code, than any of these. That is why it is not strange that it has not been heard about ‘Solange du Lebst’, that did not premiere in Spain and was barely seen in Germany. The producer, Eva Films (we are not going to get Nazi connotations in every detail, but well, there is the name of the producer, which she shares with that of Hitler’s couple) premiered it thanks to subterfuges as the aforementioned initial message. However, the daring to reach German screens After the Nazi defeatwhen the nation faced global ignonymy and a feeling of guilt, the country ranked, it resulted in a considerable box office failure that ruined the producer. The film disappeared from the rooms and never broadcast on television. Occasionally it has reappeared in very limited circuits, such as when it was published inadvertently in a collection of DVDs in Spain, ‘jewels of the history of cinema’. FTW Condor Legion In ‘Solange du Lebst’, a heroic and handsome pilot of the Condor Legion, the Air Force that Hitler sent to Spain to help Franco in the Civil warshe crashes into the fictional Andalusian town of Torralbán. There he will live a caste and sincere relationship with his caregiver while he remains injured and hidden in a cave, facing the fearsome international brigades who want to invade Spain and the wild Republicans who patrol the area. The film (which you can see complete, yes, in German, in the video on these lines), despite appearances, it is not a series B shot under co -production. There is a considerable media slack where, in addition, several names that would later be known internationally. The director and screenwriter Harald Reinl has an extensive filmography that arrives until 1982 and where there are from war dramas to family comedies, through ufological documentaries or literary adaptations of the classic mystery writer Edgar Wallace. The leading actress, Marianne Koch, would reach some international fame with Westerns as ‘for a handful of dollars’. The scarce scope of the film has not even given margin as to become a cult film, but its atmosphere in Spain has raised the curiosity of experts … and the locals. As The ideal newspaper accounttwo scholars carry Three years trying to unravel the mysteries of ‘Solange du Lebst’: They are Julio Grosso, professor of audiovisual communication at the University of Granada and Ralf Junkerjürgen, researcher at the University of Ratisbona. Together they decided to try which areas belonged to the locations of the film. To do this, they have been publishing in social networks photograms of the lost film and thanks to the collaboration of Internet users have located areas of Granada such as Los Arenales del Trevenque where the pilot, the old clinical hospital in San Cecilio, the Armilla Air Base, the Tablate bridge, the old road of Güéjar Sierra and El Castillo de Lácha. Purely Spanish areas that, however, did not prevent the film from being released in Spain. Why that unusual destiny? Although his argument left no doubt about his political orientation, neither this nor its atmosphere helped the film to be released in Spain. A possible reason, despite the fact that the Franco dictatorship was completely settled, is that In 1955 the regime was not interested in digging up old ghosts. The pacts of Madrid between Spain and the United States They had just signed in 1953and he was ending the international isolation to which he had submitted to the country. The last thing that interested Franco was his little Nazi propaganda. No matter how well photographed that Granada was.

In 50 years of democracy, in Spain only a book has been prohibited, a controversial comic that would be illegal to publish today

by

A court in Barcelona He has rejected suspend the publication of ‘Hate‘, The book on the murderer José Breton that Anagrama will publish and that has raised a great controversy for the contrast between the right to the dignity of the victims and the freedom of the press, which in democracy is almost sacred. “Almost”, because there is some exception. Specifically, the only case of a forbidden book in Spain in democracy is a comic, a satire of deep nihilism, and even disturbing today. Dozens of red lines. ‘Hitler = SS’, the work of the cartoonist Vuillemin and the Gourio screenwriter, is a milestone in editorial history in our country. It was originally edited by the wild French satirical magazine ‘Hara-Kiri‘(predecessor of’ Charlie Hebdo ‘) In 1987. It was a compilation of comics about Jewish extermination in the concentration camps: wild and impudent, the painfully feast trace of Vuillemin converted the comic into an extremely uncomfortable experience, and that did not prisoners. Nazis and Jews are portrayed with absolutely ruthless, Chabacano and looking for controversy. That is, completely punk and underground. Prohibited in France. The humorous and provocative content of the comic is clear with the warning with which it starts: “All similar to the six million people who never existed is merely casual.” From its same appearance in France, The distribution was kidnapped by order of the Minister of Interior. Several Jewish associations protested against the album, which suffered three judicial demands, of which he lost two. In 1989 the authors were sentenced to pay a Franco as a symbolic fine, but the reissue in France is prohibited. Prohibited in Spain. Here the comic was edited by the Makoki publishing house, name that to the fans of the Spanish underground comic It will be familiarand that he was in a new stage in the mid -1990s after his golden years. The plaintiffs were two Jewish associations, B’nai b’rith and Mauthausen Amicale: ‘Hitler = SS’ was accused of attacking the dignity of prisoners and attacking Judaism. In 1995, the Constitutional Court made the decision to prohibit it because it considers that its objective was to humiliate the Jews. The plates and the copies of the album were destroyed, the editor was sentenced to a month and a day of arrest and 100,000 pesetas of fine. The sentence. In Spain, the Constitutional affirmed In his sentence That “every vignette – word and drawing – is aggressive on its own, with a rough and rude message, in short, oblivious to good taste, even when it does not correspond to tertiary in this issue, which is brought here as an external sign of its offensive mood.” It was said that in the album “it beats a pejorative concept of an entire people, the Jew, for their ethnic features and beliefs. A racist attitude, contrary to the set of constitutionally protected values.” And above all, it was said that the comic was aimed at minors, which had to be protected from a publication that sought “deliberately and unscrupulously the vilipendium of the Jewish people, with contempt of their qualities to achieve dismembrance in the consideration of others, determining element of infamy or dishonor.” A outdated interpretation of a phenomenon, the comic for adults, which at that time has been operating in Spain. Kidnapped books. ‘Hitler = SS’ is a unique case being a forbidden comic, as we say a unique circumstance in democracy, since it would make a reissue of it criminally. But there have been cases of temporarily kidnapped books until the resolution of judicial processes, or definitive kidnappings but have not made the content of the book illegal, which could be reissued. These have been the cases: In 2018 a judge of Collado Villalba prohibited the impression and marketing of the book Fariña of Nacho Carretero. The cause: a demand from the former or Grove, José Alfredo Bea Gondar, for violation of honor. Was A precautionary measure Until the trial was held, which finally acquitted Carretero and what Volume sales were multiplied. Luque Historical Studies: In 1991, the City of Luque (Córdoba) published this book on the Civil War. An individual whose relative appeared in him as the author of a murder denounced the book. A court opened proceedings and confiscated the copies in circulation. Those years: In 1993, a judge from Murcia ordered the kidnapping of this book of former General Secretary of the Government Presidency, Julio Feo. The complaint came from María José Alemán, former part of the then mayor of Murcia, who was insulted by its content. What happened in Alcàsser?: The father of one of the dead girls in Alcàsser in 1992 never believed in the official resolution of the case. Published this book that included theories with films SNUFF and senior government positions. The book withdrew by demand from the mother of another girls, who considered that the right to privacy of her and her daughter had been violated. OT, the hidden face: In 2005 all the copies of this Wayne Jamison book about the talent show were kidnapped at the request of the Gestmusic producer. I also know how to play my mouth. Sabina in living flesh: The biography of 2006 of the musician, co-written by the Canretant and Javier Fernández Flores was suspended by a conflict for the ownership of the rights of this book, that the Random House-Mondadori publisher considered that they were his. Besides, there has been innumerable cases of magazines Withdrawal of kiosks by judicial processes or when censorship still was at the beginning of the transition. They are often removed by the publishing house itself to avoid precisely judicial procedures or image damage. This is what happened with ‘Thursday’ In 2007 with the famous cartoons of Guillermo and Fontdevila of the then heir to the crown and his wife: the authors were fined, but the publication was not redistributed after the preventive kidnapping by express desire of the editorial.
