You can now reserve the new iPhone 17e, but be careful because the 16e is already dropping a lot in price

by

The iPhone 17e can now be pre-purchased in many stores, so before doing anything we should stop and think about whether that extra money is worth what we are looking for. Especially considering that his previous generation, the iPhone 16ecan be found on sale in stores like MediaMarkt. In its eBay outlet, for example, right now you can buy for 512.10 euros in white and others 512.10 euros in black. In both cases we are talking about a brand new mobile phone that has not been used. The price could vary. We earn commission from these links The previous generation drops in price He iPhone 17e It has an official price of 709 euros and the iPhone 16e right now it is found 512.10 eurosare 196.90 euros differencewhich is not little money. Do we find differences between the two generations? Yes, the main ones being the processor, A18 and A19 respectively, and the minimum storage configuration, which has increased twice as much for the new generation. This is really one of the most attractive points, and one that I personally advise taking more into account when choosing one model or another. The iPhone 17 starts with 256 GB of internal storage while the iPhone 16e starts with 128 GB. If we are looking to have more storage, the 256 GB iPhone 16e costs 729 euros. With this we have to: He iPhone 16e 128 GB is cheaper, so if you have this storage left over, I would go for this generation. He iPhone 17e 256 GB is cheaper than its previous generation with the same storage, so if you want to take a lot of photos or videos, I would choose this mobile. With all this, there are not too many differences between both generations. The MagSafe arrives in this range and orn more year of software updates which, on Apple phones, is not so noticeable, since they are usually updated for many years. The iPhone 16e, for example, will be updated until 3031For example. ⚡ IN SUMMARY: iPhone 16e offer today ✅ THE BEST It’s much cheaper: If you are only looking for a good price, the iPhone 16e costs almost 200 euros less than its new generation. Few changes between generations: Beyond the storage or the processor, we are talking about two very similar mobile phones. ❌ THE WORST Oh, the storage: In 2026, 128 GB of storage could be very tight, so if you usually take a lot of photos or videos, it is better to opt for a mobile phone with at least 256 GB. 💡 BUY IT IF… You want to make the jump to the Apple ecosystem without spending too much money, or if you want it for what it is: calling and accessing some apps, without pretensions to taking a lot of photos or videos, unless, in that case, you prefer to pay for a cloud service to have more storage. ⛔ DON’T BUY IT IF… You are looking for a mobile phone that allows you to save many photos, videos or files locally, without having to pay a subscription to a cloud service in a short time to have more storage.

create a reserve capital

by

Tokyo is the capital of Japan. That’s been the case since quite a while. Yeah the debate which two of the country’s main parties have embarked on comes to fruition, the Japanese institutional reality could nevertheless undergo a radical change: Tokyo would be joined by a ‘backup capital’a city that would take over if necessary. The goal: decentralize the nation… and ensure that Japan won’t be knocked out if a natural disaster or emergency hits Tokyo. What has happened? That Japan has opened a debate that affects its economy, population, politics and above all the territorial and power balance of the country. Your goal: decide if you should have a “backup capital”a secondary capital that helps decentralize administrations and encourage economic development beyond Tokyo. It may sound strange, but one of its purposes is to assume government functions in case Tokyo suffers a disaster. Where does the debate come from? The local press began to talk about the matter even before the Liberal Democratic Party and Nippon Ishin (JIP) reached a coalition agreement. In fact, in September The Japan Times counted as it was among the “key” issues that the opposition wanted to discuss with the leader of the LDP, Sanae Takaichi. Since then it has remained on the table, with an agreement between both formations to advance their development next year and a open debate about what the creation of a backup capital would mean. Why a ‘substitute’ capital? For several reasons. One of the main ones is to prevent the Government from being paralyzed in the event that a natural disaster (or any other emergency) hits Tokyo, although that is only one of its purposes. In the background is the desire to correct the excessive political, economic and demographic concentration that Japan suffers from. “We must aspire to a country that avoids excessive concentration in Tokyo and is not too dependent on it, a place that is an economic zone that can counteract Tokyo and serve as a backup capital in times of crisis,” claims Hirofumi Yoshimura, leader of the JIP. Is it that important? Over the last few months, both ideas have been emphasized: the advantages that a secondary capital would have economically, politically and to decentralize the country and also to prevent Japan from being paralyzed in the event of a disaster. “The main importance of the concept of reserve capital lies in the dispersion of disaster risk and is a fundamental issue for national crisis management,” highlights Seitaro Hattori, governor of Fukuoka. In fact, Hattori focuses so much attention on that aspect (that the secondary capital can take a step forward in case of emergency) that he advocates locating it in a place where the risk of a large earthquake in the Pacific that affects Tokyo also punishes the secondary capital is minimized. “Fukuoka is a major city with a low disaster risk, as is Kitakyushu.” And what city do we choose? That’s the big question. There are those who fear that the true purpose of JIP is to merge the districts of the city of Osaka to give them a format similar to that of Tokyo, a change that would pave the way for it to become the secondary capital of the country. Reserve capital status would bring relevant advantages, such as tax exemptions. Right now in Osaka the metropolitan government assumes the provision of certain services, such as water supply, firefighters or urban planning. More local tasks, such as garbage collection, social services or education, depend on the districts. The JIP has been wanting to adapt Osaka to a model more similar to that of Tokyo for some time, claiming its benefits. Without success. Are there more names? Yes. Other names have also been mentioned in the national press, such as Sapporo or Fukuoka. “If we were to imagine an earthquake in the Nankai Trench, the city of Fukuoka, on the coast of the Sea of ​​Japan, would be the least at risk of simultaneous damage. In terms of response capacity, Fukuoka is a suitable location,” claims Takashima.

What are they and how can you reserve them?

by

WhatsApp is preparing for its biggest change in years: usernames. It is an identification system that alternatives like Telegram have been using for years, and it gives you an extra layer of privacy when you want to contact someone. Although This feature is not yet availablewe are going to explain to you what exactly it will be used for so that you understand its importance. And we will also tell you what it will be the process to reserve yours. What are usernames WhatsApp usernames are a unique identification method so other people can find you. The idea is that each person who uses WhatsApp can claim a name that no one else will have. Currently, if you want to give your contact to another person so that they can write to you on WhatsApp, you have to give them your phone number. Then, by searching for that number, the other person will be able to find you and write to you. The username will be an alternative to the phone numberso they can also find you with him. It will also be used to log in to the account. Each user may have a single name, but The first one to set it up will keep it.. This means that if you have a common name, like Maria, the name @maria may fly very quickly, and you will have to add other characters such as numbers or additional letters. Here, remember that your username will be foreverso you will have to look for one that identifies you so that it is as personal as possible. Ideally, it would be easy to type so that they can find you, but in a service with billions of users this will end up being difficult. How can you get your name Image: Iván Linares WhatsApp has not yet announced this feature or when it will arrive. However, The normal thing would be for it to reach the beta version first of the application. Therefore, if you want to be one of the first people to reserve your name, it is recommended sign up for the WhatsApp beta on your mobile. Then you will have to wait for the feature to launchsomething that seems increasingly closer. Once WhatsApp starts allowing you to reserve the name, you will have to go to the application and enter the settings. Inside, you will have to tap on your profile photo at the top of the screen to enter your account settingswhere you configure information about yourself. In them, you can currently edit your name, information, phone number or your links. The username field will also appear here when the function is launched. When you click on one, you will go to the process to create a username. And that’s it. Now you will only have try names until you find one free. For example, if you type “pepito” you may see a red indicator saying that it is busy. Then, you will have to add characters or change letters until you find one that is free.

Airbnb does not want to be just the place where you reserve the floor of your vacation. Now you want to look for chef and coach

by

Airbnb no longer wants to be (alone) the place you go to search and book the house where you will spend your next vacation. That, He assured Tuesday His co -founder and CEO, Brian Chesky, has fallen short. With the tourism market upthe recent memory of pandemic and regulatory challenge every time More presentAirbnb has decided to undergo one of the biggest changes he has lived in its 18 years of history. Its objective: to be a comprehensive tourist platform. And that happens to facilitate the search for accommodation, but also offer Hairdressers, chefs, masseuses, or even a plan to learn flamenco in Madrid or riding a horse in Cuzco. Everything you need for your trip. “Much more than Airbnb”. The phrase is from Chesky and although it could perfectly go through a commercial slogan, it captures well the essence of the change that the company wanted to apply to the summer doors of 2025. After 18 years of travel, Millions of active ads And more than 2,000 million registered stays, Airbnb has decided to undergo an image change and expand its scope. His idea is very simple: he no longer wants to limit himself to accommodation management. Now the app will also allow to hire services and experiences. Do you want a personal coach? You have it. Do you want to resort to the services of a chef, a masseuse or an original experience, such as a gastronomic route, a horse ride or shopping with a stylist? You have it too. Airbnb’s goal is to make the leap to services and complete the experience of tourists. Why’s that? The company assures who wants to stand up to his main competitor: the hotels. “Often people decide Explain. The truth is that its new business turn arrives in a stage marked by other factors, not only the competition that accommodations can exercise. Challenges on the horizon. After almost 20 years of accelerated expansion and add millions of offers in much of the planet (in 2024 Statista spoke Of almost eight million advertisements in 100,000 cities), Airbnb has seen how its regulatory scenario has been complicated. In New York They have put limitsin Norway it applies A ratein cities like Madrid or Florence Its expansion has been stopped by Moratory and restrictions on the opening of new tourist floors and in Barcelona directly wants to end With them. And that to quote just some examples of territories that have moved to paliar tab The impact of the sector in its residential market. The company has also suffered A fall In the stock market Regarding 2024 before business and BBC precise That, despite the strength of his latest profits, Airbnb has warned that the increase in reserves could slow down this quarter. Two ideas: services and experiences. Airbnb has decided to articulate its new offer around those two groups: services and experiences. The first has in turn divided it into 10 categories among which are chefs that prepare food at home, photographers, masseuses, coaches, hairdressers or catering. Airbnb says that it has “evaluated the knowledge and reputation” of all its “hosts” and guarantees that they have an average of ten years of experience, have contributed the necessary permits and also verified their identity. “Best of all, it is not necessary assures. Regarding prices, options are included for less than 50 euros. Airbnb presumes in addition to having recognized professionals (chefs with Michelin stars) and offers that can only be hired through the platform itself. Go out of route or go shops. The other leg of the new Airbnb offer are the “experiences”, available a priori in several hundred cities. As an example the company quotes A route For the Parisian heritage with an architect who has documented the reconstruction of Notre-Dame, Kitchen classes With a Japanese chef, excursions on horseback by Inca sacred places with an anthropologist or a Fight class in a Mexican ring with a professional fighter. Again, Airbnb presumes that part of those experiences are “Airbnb Originals”. And how do you intend to do it? Airbnb Clarify That the services will start in 260 cities with a dozen different categories, “although new types of offers and additional locations will appear in the app every so often,” he says. As for the experiences, they will be launched in more than 650 cities in the world. The country Precise that services and experiences will be available in destinations such as Barcelona, ​​Madrid, Malaga or Seville. For example, flamenco classes are included, a visit to the meadow, wines and oils or tapas routes. To articulate the new Airbnb offer, it has also decided to “totally renew” its app to facilitate that it becomes a comprehensive travel platform: a tool with which to reserve stay, services and plans. “When users reserve accommodation, the application will suggest services and experiences depending on where they are going to stay and who will accompany them,” Clarify. The change comes more than two years later that Chesky proposed to transform the company and an investment that would be around 250 million dollars.

The glaciers are the great forgotten fresh water reserve of the planet. And we are running out of it

by

According to estimates From the United States Geological Service (USGS), glaciers, along with the permanent ice layer and snow, house more than 24 million cubic kilometers of water. This represents 1.74% of the total water on the planet, but also 68.7% of fresh water. The risk of losing these reservations is growing. 273,000 million tons. A new study in which the European Space Agency (That) has revealed the rhythm at which the glaciers of our planet have been losing water since 2000. The figures are not hopeful: our glaciers have lost 273,000 million tons of water per year on average. “To put this in perspective, the 273,000 million tons lost annually represent what the world’s population consumes in 30 years, assuming (a consumption of) three liters per person and day,” Indicate in a press release Michael Zemp. Another way of seeing it in perspective is to take into account that the glaciers of this planet, according to the agency itself, contained approximately 121.73 billion tons of ice. During the last decades the glaciers have seen a 5% drop in their volume. In crescendo. The team has also warned that the rhythm at which we lose ice has been growing throughout the study period. The study covered the period between 2000 and 2023 and was divided into two subperiods: 2000–2011 and 2012–2023. Comparing both periods the team found an acceleration in the rhythm at which glaciers lose water: in the second period the loss of ice was 36% greater than in the first. The geographical context also matters. If we previously indicated that, globally, the glaciers had lost 5% of their volume, regional losses are among 2% observed in the Antarctic and Subantarctic Islands, and 39% loss of volume observed in Central Europe. The image shows diversity in the portion of lost glaciers in different regions. ESA/Planetary Visions GLAMBIE. The investigation has been carried out within the framework of the Glambie project (Glacier Mass Balance Intercomparison Exercise), An initiative of the WGMS (World Glacier Monitoring Service) of the University of Zurich in collaboration with the University of Edinburgh and the Earthwave company dedicated to estimate the global ice mass lost by the glaciers. The initiative generated a temporary series for the study period (2000-2023) combining data from different sources. Among them they used satellite observations of the Aster instrument aboard the American Mission Terra and ICESAT-2also from NASA; in combination with data obtained from European and Euro -Eastern Missions Grace, Tandem-X and Cryosat. The details of the study have been published In an article In the magazine Nature. It is not just sea level. This loss of ice has a well -known plenty of involvement: the nearly 6.55 billion tons of disappeared water from the glaciers have ended melted in the sea, which, according to equipment estimates, has contributed to the increase in the level of the waters in about 18 millimeters, about 0.75 mm per year. However, although the increase in sea level is often the “visible face” of climate change, the problem goes further. And it is that glaciers are an important water reserve. Its thaw contributes significantly to the flow of many rivers. This is the case of the Ebro, which feeds on the glaciers of the Pyrenees in addition to the thaw of mountains in the Cantabrian mountain range and the Iberian system. “Glaciers are a vital source of fresh water, especially in local communities in Central Asia and the central Andes, where glaciers dominate runoff during warm and dry stations,” also explains in the press release Inés Dussaillant, co -author of the study.

Trump orders oil drilling in Arctic reserve

by

He Donald Trump’s inauguration speech Last January 20 was full of controversies. Not only for the blunders on scientific topics that caused a stir in New Zealand. Also because he announced measures that make clear the drift that his dangerous environmental policies. For example, he made it very clear that he thinks open the Arctic to drilling in search of oil and other fossil fuels. Until now, the Arctic wildlife reserve, located in Alaska, had remained closed to drilling by order of Joe Biden. The last president had denied several exploitation permits in this protected area. However, the new president has already shown on many occasions how little he cares about the planet, so it was not going to be any less this time. “Drill, baby drill”. With this slogan, first used in 2008 by the former Republican lieutenant governor of the state of Maryland Michael SteeleDonald Trump has signaled his intentions in his inauguration speech. But what will be the consequences if drilling in these Alaskan territories finally restarts? American environmental groups have not been waiting to launch their answer to this question. Without a doubt, it is not good at all. There is only hope that, as have already shown on some other occasionfuel extraction companies show disinterest in this area of ​​the Arctic. It doesn’t matter how much Donald Trump opens the doors of the reservation. If the big oil companies refuse to extract fuel from there, there is little else they can do. I hope that’s the case. This is the reserve that Donald Trump wants to drill According to data from 2024it is estimated that beneath the soil of Alaska there is an amount of oil equivalent to 450-800 million barrels. Most of this territory is open to exploitation. However, there is an area of 78,000 square kilometers located on the northern slope of Alaska where, until now, it was strictly prohibited. It is about the Attic National Wildlife Refuge, known to some people like him United States Serengetidue to the great biodiversity that exists in it. It is one of the most intact and virgin of said country and it is estimated that approximately more than 200 species of birds, 42 species of fish and 45 species of mammals. Animals such as polar, brown and black bears, moose, caribou, wolves, lynxes, eagles, martens and beavers stand out. Its caribou population stands out especially, with more than 120,000 specimens. In his speech, Donald Trump has used the slogan “drill, baby, drill.” The Refuge was established in 1960 by President Dwight Eisenhower. Although it belonged to the American Republican Party, over time it has been the Democrats who have put the most effort into protecting the Refuge. Joe Biden also suspended drilling permits established in this region, in order to protect it even more. But Donald Trump has taken it upon himself to annul this suspension and announce his commitment to “drill, baby, drill“(“drill” means “to pierce” in English). What do environmentalists say? Both environmentalists and Alaska Native groups have expressed concern about the first decisions made by Donald Trump. Carol Holleythe lawyer and manager of the Earthjustice group, recalled in a statement that “Alaska is warming up four times faster than the rest of the planet.” This, he added, is “a trend that is wreaking havoc on communities, ecosystems, fish, wildlife and ways of life that depend on healthy lands and waters.” Logically, drilling the ground to extract oil and natural gas is the last thing needed to have healthy lands and waters. There is a large population of caribou in the refuge. Credit: Danielle Brigida (Wikimedia Commons) For Donald Trump, this is a decision that will bring economic prosperity to the United States, but it is not all about money. There is no United States without a planet and, with measures like this, little by little the stones are being laid to build an uninhabitable planet.
