Google sets a date for “Q-Day”, when quantum computing will be able to break current cryptography sooner than expected

by

The arrival of the quantum computing brings us closer to an exciting horizon. It is a paradigm shift because, if classical computing is based on bits of 0 and 1, quantum computing uses qubits that can be in both states at the same time. Translation: if classical computing does operations one at a time, quantum computing does many at the same time. This opens up an ocean of possibilities, and will also allow any current encryption system to be broken. in a matter of seconds. Google has been around for a decade getting readyand has set a date for his arrival. 2029. PQC. It stands for post-quantum cryptography. It is a set of encryption algorithms designed to resist attacks by quantum computers and allow data that must be encrypted such as keys and digital signatures to remain so in the long term. Those complex mathematical algorithms designed to resist quantum attacks are designed to be implemented on classical computers. That is, it is not the hardware that is updated, but rather the security. Quantum cryptography is another approach, but also more experimental. It is the one that will use the full potential of quantum computing to achieve theoretically unbreakable security. The one that interests us at the moment is post-quantum, and it makes perfect sense because classical and the quantum They will coexist, and what is needed is to update encryption systems so that companies continue to have classic computers, but with security that resists quantum attacks. Q-Day. Companies have been preparing for this for a long time and, as we say, Google is one of them. Carry from 2016 investing in that post-quantum cryptography, migrating some key exchange systems for internal traffic to the post-quantum standard. A while ago they claimed that key exchange within Google services is now resistant to quantum computing by default. Proton also is in it. So as not to leave it there as a pending task that is never finished, they finish to mark a self-imposed deadline to complete the transition. By 2029 they will have to complete this migration of their security to PQC systems. In fact, on their blog, they have announced that Android 17 will integrate an algorithm that will provide quantum-resistant signatures to protect the integrity of boot software. It is a way of saying “hey, we are already preparing,” but basically what there is is a commitment to that security for a time that is near. And it won’t just be the boot system: applications will be able to generate and verify post-quantum signatures within the devices’ secure hardware, and Google Play itself will also begin generating secure keys for applications that choose to participate in the program during the launch cycle of the new system. The industry prepares. Aside from the announcement, the company urged the rest of the technology industry and governments to step up to accelerate the adoption of these more resistant encryption systems. And, although Google has been saying “the wolf is coming” for several years, they are not the only ones. Microsoft wants to start migrating its systems by 2029, culminating in 2033. US federal agencies also want do it for the 2030-2035 window and the European Commission has urged member states to make critical infrastructure resilient by the end of 2030. With this movement, Google has set a date that seems ambitious and is a declaration of intentions. “It is our responsibility to set an example and share an ambitious schedule,” says Google. It is also evident that as a digital infrastructure provider, offering a post-quantum security system before anyone else gives you a competitive advantage because if someone doesn’t arrive on time, they could always buy your services. Companies like Telefónica are also working on it, but when we talk to them They did not give us an indicative date. What they did comment is that they are beginning to see that there are parts of the industry that are becoming interested in their post-quantum cryptography services. Don’t panic. that the arrival of quantum computing represents a headache for everything that is encrypted (blockchain and cryptocurrencies, banking data and transactions and even messaging apps) does not mean that we have to panic. A few months ago, Keith Martin, professor in the Information Security Group at the University of London, commented that, although the threat is realresearchers have been working for years and most of the theoretical work is done. When cryptographically relevant quantum computers appear, the protection technologies will already be ready and we will not have to worry about anything. In fact, at the user level… we can do little. We are not going to be the ones who have a quantum computer at home to be able to encrypt our information. Basically, as I said a few lines ago, it is Google saying “get ready because this is going to come and, as an industry, we have to prepare.” And they have already set a date. There’s not much left… Image | Xataka In Xataka | Putin compared the quantum race to the nuclear race of the Cold War. China has just taken a leap in that war of the future

Andalusia wants to recover the experience of its retired teachers, but sets one condition: that they do it for free

by

The Junta de Andalucía has created a new figure in Spanish public education: emeritus collaborating teachers. The idea is that retired teachers They can rejoin training tasks in schools and institutes to share their experience with active teachers and students. The Board’s proposal It is collected under the Red Share Experience program and can mobilize up to 2,500 retirees a year throughout the community. There is a detail in this measure that has not gone unnoticed: the retired teachers who participate will do so completely voluntarily and will not charge anything, as indicated in the Decree 12/2026 It was approved by the Government Council on February 4, 2026 and has just come into force after its publication in the Official Gazette of the Junta de Andalucía. ​The objective: not to lose the experience. The Ministry of Educational Development and Vocational Training has presented This measure is considered “pioneer in Spain”, and its objective is to take advantage of the knowledge accumulated by teachers who have spent decades in the classrooms and put it at the service of centers that need it. In the standard, the Board defines the figure of emeritus collaborating teachers, retired teachers with a long teaching career who maintain their link with educational centers and carry out advisory, training and support tasks in complementary activities. The program has legal backing under the Andalusian Education Law of 2007, which in its article 23.4 already contemplated the possibility of retired teachers collaborating in libraries and support management teams. This new decree expands and regulates that framework for the first time. What requirements must be met to participate?. It is not enough to have been a teacher to participate in the project, a series of requirements are required. You must be retired for any reason other than permanent disability, be under 75 years of age when submitting the application and have worked for at least 15 years in public or subsidized non-university centers in Andalusia. Furthermore, you cannot have received a firm sanction for serious or very serious misconduct in the five years prior to retirement, nor have you been convicted of crimes against sexual freedom. A maximum limit of 2,500 places is set for the entire community for each annual call. a report of the UGT union of 2022 confirms that in Spain 34.5% of non-university teachers are over 50 years old, while in secondary school this percentage rises to 38.4%, which indicates that there will be a significant number of potential candidates for this project in the coming years. What they can do and what they are prohibited from doing. The decree that has just been published imposes a very clear red line from the beginning: the emeritus “will not occupy jobs or perform functions typical of active professors.” What they can do is accompany newly arrived teachersmentor intern students, energize the school library, organize talks and workshops, participate in innovation projects, guide students in their academic path or collaborate on the center’s social networks and publications, among other activities. However, although they do not receive a salary for their contribution, the emeritus do have some compensation. The Board guarantees them insurance that covers accidents, illness and civil liability. At the end of each course they will receive an official certification and will have free access to cultural institutions under the same conditions as active teachers. How and when to apply for a place. The program works through two methods of incorporation. On the one hand, there is the open route that allows retired teachers to present a project that any center in Andalusia can incorporate if interested. The concrete route, on the other hand, is designed for those who want to collaborate with a specific school or institute. In both cases, the project must fit into the center’s plan and have the prior approval of the Teaching Staff and the School Council. If there are more candidates than places available in a single center, the tiebreaker is resolved in order of seniority in that center or in the teaching staff.

merge sets to save costs

by

Telecinco closed January 2026 with an 8.5% screen share, his worst start to the year in its entire history, even below the aggregate of the regional chains (8.7%). The fall especially affects its information services, which have recorded historic lows and have forced the group to take emergency measures. Starting next February 9, Telecinco News and Noticias Cuatro will share the set and editorial teama merger that the company presents as optimization of resources but that shows the depth of a crisis that has been dragging on for more than a year. The figures. The numbers are overwhelming: Informativos Telecinco averaged 8.1% of share with 883,000 spectators. It is the tenth consecutive month without reaching one million viewers on average, a threshold that the network had maintained for decades. Noticias Cuatro occupied the last position among the general news programs with 6.7% of share half. The paradox is that while Telecinco’s sister channel is experiencing its best moment since its relaunch two years ago, exceeding the 5.8% monthly average, its news programs fail to connect with the audience. The distance with laSexta Noticias has narrowed to the point of almost disappearing: barely two tenths separate both spaces, a gap that a year ago seemed unbridgeable and that threatens a surprise which would further sink the group’s position in the Spanish news landscape. It’s the others’ fault. Antena 3 closed January with a 12.9% shareadding its eighteenth consecutive month in the first position of the national ranking. Their news programs average 19.5% share and they chain 73 months leading the Spanish information landscape. RTVE’s 1 consolidated second place with 12.2% monthly quota, its best start to the year since 2012. Public television doubles the records of Informativos Telecinco in prime time: Newscasts perform especially well in the mornings (16.9%) and afternoons (11.3%), where they have their best data in more than a decade. Crisis since 2025. Telecinco closed 2025 with a 9.5% annual audience share, the worst record in its entire history. The chain chained consecutive monthly lows: July (9.2%), August (8%), September (9.2%), October (9.4%), November (9%), December (8.4%) and now January (8.5%). A downward trajectory that has moved it away from 9% and has placed it below thresholds that seemed untouchable. Badly informative. This space has been one of the main problems in this process. Despite the investment made in 2024 with the renovation of the set and the signing of Carlos Franganillo, the current data is lower than what Pedro Piqueras recorded before his retirement. The space has accumulated ten months without exceeding one million viewers on average, an unprecedented drought that reflects the disconnection with an audience that for years trusted the brand. The solution. Hence this new measure: from Monday, February 9, Informativos Telecinco and Noticias Cuatro will share facilities and editorial teams. Francisco Moreno, Director of News at Mediaset España, presented the decision as an operational reorganization without labor consequences. The group promises to maintain the visual identity of each news brand: Noticias Cuatro will retain its characteristic lighting, its corporate colors and its on-screen style. Programming adjustments. The reorganization is not limited to the information area. The first layoffs of the year at Mediaset have been produced in Unicorn Contentthe production company linked to Ana Rosa Quintana, as a direct consequence of the rearrangement of the schedule for 2026. The reduction in broadcast hours of ‘Vamos a ver’ has forced part of the technical and production team to be dispensed with. The move is part of a broader strategy: ‘First Dates’ has returned to Telecinco from Monday to Wednesday, ‘El Precio Justo’ returns at noon and Iker Jiménez’s ‘Horizonte’ has temporarily become a daily program on Cuatro. The economic impact. The audience crisis has a direct translation into advertising revenue. Data for the first quarter of 2025 reflects a significant decrease: Mediaset’s income in Spain fell from 180 to 167 million euros. This contraction contrasts with the 8% growth recorded in the same period of 2023. The consulting firm Infoadex estimates that during the first half of the year the group’s turnover fell by 9.4%, standing at 315.9 million euros. The failure of the big bet. A little over two years ago, Mediaset made a big bet on reinvent your information offer. Carlos Franganillo debuted at the head of Informativos Telecinco, replacing Pedro Piqueras after 18 years at the head of the space. The signing of the then star presenter of La 1’s Telediario was an unequivocal message: Mediaset was looking for prestige, credibility and a qualitative leap in its informative proposal. The operation was accompanied by a unprecedented technological investment in the chain: The new set incorporated 210 square meters of screens, augmented reality systems, three hanging vertical screens designed for mobile consumption, a spidercam and artificial intelligence tools integrated into production. Early data appeared to support the strategy. Franganillo’s debut attracted 1,559,000 viewers and reached an 11.5% share, figures higher than the average that the space had been recording. However, the audience has not connected with the proposal, and the signing of Franganillo has not managed to reverse the downward trend of the network. In Xataka | The end of ‘Caiga Quia Caiga’ is more than a blow to the audience: it illustrates that Telecinco can only trust reality shows

House renovations used to be to make them more habitable. Now they can also be converted into Lego sets

by

At the beginning of October we count that the lack of space in modern homes or the impossibility of collecting quantities of LEGO due to how much they occupy had led to the creation of a business especially aimed at those who do not want to give up building new sets, but do not need to keep them. Brick Borrow rent LEGO sets…which are then returned. It happens that more and more people are directly renovating their house to make room for it. to these jewels. Domestic brick utopias. I was telling it on the weekend the wall street journal. In recent years, the rise of adult collecting Lego has transformed entire domestic spaces into carefully designed and detailed miniature worlds, urban landscapes, beaches with bathers and functional amusement parks. Of all, the case by Christie Northin Salt Lake City, is especially representative: he has torn down walls, renovated his basement and spent more than $100,000 in building and displaying his Lego city, which he accesses through a fingerprint scanner and which he is considering monitoring with cameras to observe when he travels. The origin. The woman started as a hobby to combat boredom during the pandemic, but became your emotional refugea task where methodical construction and imagination combine into something he describes as “feeding the soul.” In his brick world you can see a mix of technical dedication, nostalgia and the search for a personal space in the face of everyday routines. Adult collecting. The truth is that Lego has been able to cultivate, especially since 2020, a growing base adult amateurmany of whom could not afford the most ambitious sets during their childhood, but today they have income and a sentimental motivation to rebuild what they before it was inaccessible. The problem is not only economic, but also spatial: the largest sets can occupy entire tables or even entire rooms, forcing coexistence decisions, as in the case by Steve Isomwhich has assembled more than 275 sets and has given its dining room, office and shelves to spaceships suspended from the ceiling and monumental models like a titanic shelf or an Eiffel Tower almost meter and a half. His wife tolerates the hobby, but imposes clear limits: The bedroom is left out of the invasion of bricks. This negotiation silent It is repeated in many homes, where the passion for building clashes with shared aesthetics, functionality and the simple space available. Architecture, interior design and adaptation. The transformation of the home into a gallery of Lego pieces has even given rise to a specific demand in interior architecture. He architect Jeff Pelletierhimself a fan, claims to have designed more than twenty houses with rooms dedicated to Lego, mostly for adults. His advice includes Avoid rooms with direct light to avoid discoloring the pieces and use closed display cases to reduce dust. In other cases, it suggests integrate small Lego pieces as discreet decorative accents on shelves, walls or artistic compositions that imitate famous works. These solutions seek balance passion and aestheticspreserving the visual identity of the home without eliminating the collector’s creative space. Even in the real estate market, agents like Niko Cejic they claim that houses with Lego rooms can be more attractive, providing character and differentiation compared to the neutral standardization of so many contemporary interiors. The home as an emotional refuge. Beyond the hobby, these Lego rooms reflect an emotional need profound in a context of increasingly fast-paced lives, demanding jobs and changing family structures. Evan Rubinfor example, finds in his Lego room an oasis of manual repetition and visual calm, a selective return to a childhood reinterpreted. Many homeowners describe these constructions as a way to regain creativity in the face of monotonous routines, and also as a way to build an identity within the home. They told in the Journal that the replacement of more traditional life projects (such as raising children in increasingly smaller and late-term homes) is intertwined with this phenomenon: pets, plants and Lego appear where cribs once appeared. The house is no longer just a place to live, but a stage in which to reconstruct an intimate version of oneself. Tiny “real” worlds. Ultimately, the lego roomshidden in basements, domestic extensions or carefully reserved rooms, aim to be one (another) cultural manifestation of a contemporary desire for belonging, refuge and creative control. If you will, they also represent a silent, patient and manual response to digital speed, constant productivity and the pressure of adulthood. The worlds built with bricks They do not replace the outside world, of course, but they offer continuity between the child who played and the adult who seeks his own space in the midst of obligations, schedules and demands. Ultimately, in those miniature cities There is a simple and universal statement: although life pushes us to grow, there will always be parts of us that need to continue building.

Any adult LEGO fan have run into a similar problem. It is enormously enjoyable to set up the sets, but once finished comes the drama: where do we place it? The lack of space in modern homes or the impossibility of collecting several sets due to the space they occupy has led to the creation of a business especially aimed at those who do not want to give up building new sets, but do not need to keep them. Brick Borrow rents LEGO sets… which are then returned. How it works. Brick Borrow offers users the possibility of renting iconic sets by paying a fixed fee, always for an unlimited time. The amount of the fee determines what can be rented as follows: Mystery Set (9.99 euros): Brick Borrow chooses which set to send. Only one set per month. Builder (14.99 euros): The customer chooses what they want from the Brick Borrow catalogue. Unlimited loans every month. Only one set at a time. There is an annual version with a small discount. Master (24.99 euros): Like Buider, but with two sets per month. There are dozens of available setsin a catalog that is constantly growing, and as expected, we can find some of the most iconic: Mario Kart, the Shire from ‘The Lord of the Rings’, the Temple of the Golden Idol from Indiana Jones, Snow White’s cabin, the Creeper from ‘Minecraft’, the house from ‘Up!’, the ship from ‘Jaws’, a Concorde, Hogwarts, the Infinity Gauntlet, a bonsai, Sonic’s first level, Darth Vader’s helmet and a long etcetera… The wonderful world of AFOLs. This is a service clearly aimed at adult LEGO fans (or AFOL: Adult Fans Of LEGO), a typology that ranges from rigorous collectors to creative builders who see LEGO as a form of artistic expression, and who often value the building experience as much or more than the result. Rental introduces an interesting dimension for them: it democratizes access to complex or expensive sets that are sometimes inaccessible to a large part of the community. Aspects that a child does not appreciate, such as completism or playing with rare sets, are thus more accessible to this type of adult fans. To ride. It is more than proven therapeutic value of play in adults. But in addition, services like Brick Borrow (there are others, especially in the US: NetBricks, Brick Library, Blockria, Brickdrop, Lend A Brick, Chorley Bricks and many more) allow us to focus on an aspect of LEGO that sometimes goes unnoticed: building rather than enjoying the finished set. The activity of assembling blocks works as a mental escape and relaxation, similar to meditative or creative practices. The concentration on small pieces and the satisfaction of seeing a structure take shape generates a binding pleasure that transcends simple fun. The economics of access. There is a global trendlinked to a market increasingly dominated by subscriptions and temporary access to goods, for people looking for andxexperiences without the burden of storage or constant spending. Brick Borrow is not a unique experiment: we have seen it before on platforms that rent luxury clothing either technology. It implies a more responsible use of the product, promoting the so-called economy of access and reuse, repair, recycling and waste reduction, unlike the traditional linear model of “use and throw away”. The products and materials thus maintain their value for as long as possible, minimizing the environmental impact and promoting sustainable consumption.

The most ambitious shootings of the platforms are made in Spain, becoming one of the “sets” of Europe

by

Madrid has consolidated in 2025 as a global epicenter of the Spanish audiovisual sector: a powerful economic hub promoted by the film and television industry at European and international level. We can say that Madrid has become one of the most important “sets” in Europe thanks to multinational investment such as Netflix. Let’s review the data that are configuring this stimulating situation. Some data. The Madrid community contributes 2.6% to regional GDP Thanks to its audiovisual ecosystem (More than 3,500 companies that generate 29,000 direct jobs, with a global impact of more than 7.2 billion euros). This strong presence is supported by the advanced infrastructure of studies and sets and the presence of large multinationals such as Netflix and Disney, which have opted for the region as the basis of operations in Spain. Of all this has been spoken In the context of the San Sebastián 2025 Film Festivalwhere digital plans and cultural transformation have been exposed such as “Spain, Hub Audiovisual of Europe”. Why Madrid. There are a number of characteristics that make Madrid this powerful audiovisual at European and even world level. Among others, it has a great business and economic concentration (environment rich in producers, studies, digital platforms and specialized services) and an advanced infrastructure (studies and sets where more than 1,400 shootings were recorded in 2024, 32% more than the previous year). All this has the support of the Community of Madrid: 240,000 euros for 2025 and 2026 destined for initiatives such as the Audiovisual Observatory of Madrid or training activities for professionals. Netflix in Madrid. One of the clearest cases of implementation of an international draft model has been that of Netflix, which has just released ‘the atomic refuge’, its most expensive series to date, as told ‘the world’: During the filming 400 technicians and 4,300 extras participated, often exceeding the usual teams. The production was developed on the Vancouver set in Colmenar Viejo, which occupies 7,200 square meters, with large and multifunctional sets that can house up to 300 people working simultaneously in different areas. A considerable investment. Netflix will invest 1 billion of euros in Spain between 2025 and 2028, reflecting the growing relevance of the country, and especially its capital. Spain is the second European country where streaming platforms more investwith 2,000 million destined for production in 2024, surpassing Germany and France. Between 2014 and 2024, The average annual growth of the sector Spanish audiovisual has been 14%, a figure much higher than the European average. Filming tourism. The audiovisual generates direct and multiplier economic impact in the regions where it is rolls, from accommodation and services to tourism linked to shooting places. The latter has grown markedly in Spain in recent years, with 40% of travelers interested in visiting shooting placesaccording to a recent study. Destinations such as Madrid, Andalusia and Catalonia benefit from the visibility provided by films and series, which also boost local economies and promote cultural heritage.
