In the midst of the rise of streaming platforms, there are still many reasons to buy an Amazon Fire TV Stick or a Xiaomi TV Box. You may want to convert an old TV into “Smart” or you simply want to try another way of consuming content on that screen. But deciding that you want to buy one of these devices is just the first step. The next, and perhaps the most important, is to choose which one best fits what you are looking for. As with any other category of technology products, the decision is not always easy. Several factors come into play that should be evaluated before investing our money. And this is where the Xataka team comes in: we like to try things so you don’t have to. Ana Boriawhich already has thoroughly analyzed devices like the Plaud Note Pro either various smart watcheshas decided this time to put his television to the test to clear up any doubts. Two ways to bring streaming to your television In this Versus, our partner compares the Amazon Fire Stick and the Xiaomi TV Box in key aspects such as image quality. “If we talk about image quality, both devices support content 4K at 60fps“, in addition to being compatible with HDR 10+ and Dolby Vision content,” he comments. And that’s where the interesting part begins. If the two share these specifications, the question almost arises by itself: are there really reasons to choose one over the other? Ana’s tests go further and also address an aspect that for many users can make a difference: the installation of applications. “Last year Amazon announced that it would begin blocking some unofficial applications and even the download of APKs,” he explains, pointing out a relevant difference between both proposals. Now, the situation may not be as clear-cut as it seems at first glance, and in the video you will find the keys to understanding what is happening. The analysis also focuses on other important sections such as the operating system, connectivity or gaming, a field that is increasingly gaining more weight in this type of devices. “With both devices I have been able to install the applicationsconnect the controls and play, but I have not had a perfect experience with both of them,” our colleague advances. If you want to discover which round each device won, which ended up winning in this Versus and what conclusions Ana drew after testing them thoroughly, we invite you to watch the video that we have just published on our YouTube channel. And, as always, we’d love to read from you in the comments: your feedback helps us continue fine-tuning our testing and also inspires future analysis.

The soldiers’ scissors have mutated into something similar to a laser

by

Since World War II, many of the most decisive military innovations were born not in perfect laboratories, but on fronts where soldiers improvised solutions with what they had at hand. He portable radarthe commercial drones adapted or even the use adhesive tape in military equipment they emerged like this. In modern warfare, that mix of improvised inventiveness and advanced technology continues to appear where it is least expected. In Ukraine, in fact, they are real experts on the topic. The war of the scissors. It we count long ago. For months, the Ukrainian battlefield has shown scenes difficult to imagine in a 21st century conflict. Soldiers equipped with drones, sensors and electronic warfare systems walked through trenches with something much simpler in their pockets: some simple scissors. The reason was unexpected, of course. Fiber optic drones (controlled by a cable that uncoils during flight) began to proliferate because they cannot be blocked by electronic interference. To neutralize them, many soldiers they started cutting any cable they found, no matter what side it was from. In some sectors of the front the ground reached to cover itself with filaments bright as cobwebs, forcing units to always carry scissors or knives to break those drones’ connections before they could attack. The strange logic of innovation in kyiv. This improvised resource summarizes one of the most striking characteristics of this war: that extremely sophisticated systems are usually faced with solutions surprisingly simple and austere. Thus, drones worth thousands of dollars have been shot down with shotgunsarmored protected vehicles with metal nets as if we were in the George Miller universeand defensive positions covered with mesh to confuse sensors. Even the drones themselves, which today dominate the battlefield, began as a cheap answer to much more expensive weapons. In this context, cut the control cable with scissors (or, if necessary, with your hands) became a rudimentary but effective way to neutralize one of the latest evolutions of drone warfare. When scissors fall short. However, the same speed of adaptation that led to those improvised methods is now pushing the conflict towards much more advanced technologies. Yes, in recent months they have started to circulate videos and testimonials suggesting that Ukraine could be experimenting with directed energy systems to combat drones. In fact, in a visual piece Widely distributed shows how a fiber optic cable is rendered useless after being hit by an intense light, which has unleashed all kinds of speculation about the use of lasers on the battlefield. There is no official confirmation that these systems are operational, but military analysts they point out that Ukraine could deploy functional laser weapons even before the United States thanks to its ability to test technologies directly in combat. The disconcerting technological leap. If you like, the possibility that wire-controlled drones, the same ones against which soldiers carried scissors in their pockets, will begin to confront laser systems sums up the almost absurd speed with which this war evolves. Western military programs often take years to go from the laboratory to the battlefield. In Ukraine and although it may seem like science fiction, this cycle can be reduced to months due to emergencies. It already happened with drones. The front functions like a gigantic laboratory where each enemy innovation generates an immediate response. What seems like improvisation today can become advanced technology deployed on a large scale the day after tomorrow. The mystery of the “alien scanner”. One of the strangest examples of the apparent Ukrainian advance appeared in another recorded video by a Russian drone in ambush. The footage shows something like a square light sweeping across a road, as if scanning the terrain, before the drone signal suddenly cuts out. Some Forbes analysts They have interpreted it as a laser capable of cutting fiber optic cables. However, a more detailed analysis perhaps suggests something different. It is more plausible that it is a Ukrainian drone equipped with a lighting or scanning system that seeks to detect cables shining on the asphalt. These cables usually reveal the presence of ambushed drones near supply routes. The fear that brought down the drone. The final explanation aims for something less futuristic, but equally revealing. Upon detecting the light sweeping the road, the Russian operator attempted to abruptly take off his drone to escape. The motor demanded too much energy at once and burned out the electronic controller that regulates the speed of the device. In pilot jargon, the operator “burned the ESC.” The drone was disabled without any laser having touched its cable. All in all, the episode shows something certainly important: on a front where the soldiers began cutting cables with scissorsthe mere suspicion that the enemy may use a laser It’s enough to cause panic. And that says a lot about the speed with which the war in Ukraine is jumping from improvisation to technologies that just a few years ago seemed like pure science fiction.

two similar brothers focused on very different audiences

by

Now that the new Xiaomi 17 and Xiaomi 17 Ultra have been announced, it is worth stopping to think about which one best fits what we are looking for. Should we opt for a better battery or a more versatile camera system? Do we want a smaller phone or do we prefer a bigger one? Let’s review the key differences of the new generation of Xiaomi. The differences between the Xiaomi 17 and Xiaomi 17 Ultra Bigger or smaller Xiaomi 17 (left) and Xiaomi 17 Ultra (right). The most obvious difference between the two phones centers on the size. The Xiaomi 17 has a diagonal of 6.3 inches while that of the Xiaomi 17 Ultra is 6.9 inches. Here we have to play with experience: do we feel comfortable using a mobile phone that is almost 7 inches? If the answer is no, the choice is clear. Because in addition to size there is another factor that influences: the weight. The Xiaomi 17 Ultra weighs 27 grams more, something that can be noticed when using it with one hand. Stay with this: we have to know if when using a cell phone, or when putting it in our pocket, we will feel comfortable due to size or weight. Because in the design, these are the two big differences, since in everything else we are practically talking about twin brothers. For example, both phones offer a 120 Hz refresh rate so that the phone looks much more fluid when playing games or navigating through the menus. Both displays also offer 3,500 nits of peak brightness, ensuring they look great outdoors. They are also compatible with Dolby Vision and HDR10+, two image formats that add a broader color palette. What does vary is the resolution due to the size of the screens, but it is not something that is noticeable with the naked eye. Processor and RAM and storage configurations RAM and storage configurations of the Xiaomi 17 and Xiaomi 17 Ultra. While it is true that in the same generation mobile phones are usually differentiated by the processor (among other things), not here: both the Xiaomi 17 and the Xiaomi 17 Ultra come with the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5which is the most powerful processor currently available in Android phones. Where we do find a difference is in the RAM and storage configurations. The Xiaomi 17 is available with two configurations of 256 GB and 512 GB of internal storage, while the Xiaomi 17 Ultra starts at 512 GB and is available with a 1 TB version. Depending on how many photos, videos, or files you want to save, you may want more or less storage. The same goes for RAM.: The Xiaomi 17 is only available with 12 GB, and the Xiaomi 17 Ultra is only available with 16 GB. This is important because the market is moving towards artificial intelligence: if you want to process AI locally, the more RAM memory the mobile has, the better. If it is not something that is part of your plans, you will be able to notice the difference when running several apps at the same time, although in both cases you should not have any problems because 12 and 16 GB are good RAM figures for a mobile phone. More size does not mean more battery That a mobile phone is larger means that it can contain a larger battery, but this is not always the case and the new generation of Xiaomi makes it completely clear to us: the Xiaomi 17 incorporates a 6,330 mAh battery and the Xiaomi 17 Ultra comes with a 6,000 mAh battery. The difference is small, so will this be noticeable in practice? Yes, and it will probably be quite noticeable. The larger the screen, the more battery a mobile will consume. Taking into account that the Xiaomi 17 comes with a larger battery and a smaller screen, we will have more hours of autonomy on a single charge. In addition, it should also be noted that the two phones do not charge with the same power. The Xiaomi 17 offers 100W and the Xiaomi 17 Ultra offers 90W. The difference is small, but enough so that the cheapest mobile phone can have the battery fully charged in less time. A review of the photographic section Xiaomi 17 Ultra photography kit. The biggest difference between these phones is in their photography section. In both cases we once again have the Leica collaboration and both the front camera and the main sensor are the same. The difference is both in the ultra wide angle, which the Xiaomi 17 Ultra has a larger aperture, and especially in the telephoto lens. The Xiaomi 17 incorporates a 50 MP f/2.0 telephoto lens, which means that it has a very interesting aperture for taking photos in environments with more complicated lighting, such as indoors or sunsets. Instead, the Xiaomi 17 Ultra comes with a 200 MP telephoto lens with variable aperture between f/2.30 and f/2.96, allowing you to capture photos with better resolution with or without zoom. In addition, there is a quite interesting point: the Xiaomi 17 Ultra is the only mobile phone that is compatible with both photography kits of the brand. They are two accessories that are a great addition if what we are looking for is to have a photographic experience. In the previous generation (that of Xiaomi 15 Ultra) its corresponding photographic kit we liked it a lot. In summary: which Xiaomi mobile to choose according to your tastes and needs Why choose the Xiaomi 17 The Xiaomi 17 is no worse, it is a mobile phone that is focused on other types of users and that stands out in some sections: Best battery. The Xiaomi 17 has a larger capacity battery and its charging power is also greater. smaller size. As it is a smaller mobile phone, it is more comfortable to carry in your pocket. Good photographic section. It will not have the … Read more

Netflix series are becoming more and more similar to each other and Matt Damon knows who is to blame: your cell phone

by

Matt Damon has just confirmed one of the most widespread suspicions about Netflix. In one almost three hour conversation with Joe Roganwhere he appeared alongside Ben Affleck to promote ‘The Loot’, his new film, the actor revealed that the platform requires scriptwriters to constantly repeat the plot in the dialogues. The reason is that the platform assumes that the viewer is with their cell phone in hand while watching its content. Affleck went further and pointed out that streaming has built its entire business model on the assumption that no viewer pays full attention to the screen. Partial attention. Damon didn’t mince his words: if you write for Netflix, you assume from the beginning that your viewer has Instagram open in another tab or is answering WhatsApps. Affleck mentioned the concept of “partial attention,” a term that technology and behavioral studies have been dissecting for years and that now sets the rules for how to construct a dialogue. For the two actors, this has nothing to do with a conspiracy theory or union complaint: it is the real editorial policy of the platform. New era. The leap compared to traditional cinema is brutal. In a dark room there is no escape: the cell phone is silent (or it should be), the giant screen takes up the entire field of vision and the fact of being surrounded by people forces you not to get lost. Netflix plays in another league: it competes with notifications, with getting up to get something from the refrigerator, with someone commenting out loud about what just happened. And instead of standing up to this dispersion, it has chosen to adapt: ​​every five minutes someone recapitulates who is who and what the hell is going on. Netflix vs. Hollywood. This is not the first time that Hollywood has attacked streaming, although it is perhaps the most specific in technical terms. Spielberg already said in 2019 that Netflix movies should compete for Emmys instead of Oscars, and his argument was exactly this: that where you watch something determines what that something is. Scorsese went further that same yearjust as Netflix was paying him for ‘The Irishman’, and talked about the erosion of what he called the concept of “revelation”, those moments that only work if the viewer is completely immersed in the film. What Damon and Affleck bring to the table is the practical detail: we’re not talking about aesthetics or philosophy, but rather literal instructions that screenwriters receive in development meetings. In Rogan. Almost three hours of conversation where there is time for everything. Joe Rogan’s format (long conversations, no commercial breaks, no rush) allows two guys used to reciting friendly anecdotes on Jimmy Fallon’s shows to develop complex ideas. And therein lies the surprise: Affleck and Damon are not just familiar faces who sell movies, they have been inside the machinery for thirty years and know exactly how every gear works. The contrast with the usual promotional circuit is devastating: these two actors, whom many know mainly as movie stars, turn out to be sharp analysts of an industry in the midst of an existential crisis. A narrative change. What Damon and Affleck say is not an isolated case: it confirms a trend that the industry has been tracking for years. Deloitte documented in its annual report on digital trends Doing other things while watching a series is no longer the exception, it is the norm. The leap compared to the prestige television of two decades ago is evident: before the series constructed scenes without words, they left narrative gaps that the viewer had to fill in on their own, they introduced secondary characters whose importance was not clear until later seasons. David Simon, creator of ‘The Wire’, said who had designed the series like a visual novel: each episode required total concentration because crucial information could appear at any moment. The Netflix change. The platform works differently. Provides showrunners accurate data about the exact minute viewers leave a series or pause to do something else. Those metrics set the development notes: If the data shows that audiences lose interest in scenes without dialogue or complex subplots, subsequent seasons simplify the structure and multiply the verbal exposition. ‘Wednesday’ and the fifth season of ‘Stranger Things’ are recent examples of this process. Completion rate (how many users actually finish a series) has become the criterion that dictates creative decisions unthinkable a decade and a half ago. A paradox without a solution. What Damon says contains a contradiction: the technology that has allowed millions of people to access content previously reserved for movie theaters or physical distribution is changing what type of content is produced. Netflix reaches 260 million subscribers; HBO never went over 150 million in its best era. But this increase in audience comes at a cost: the narrative is simplified to accommodate viewers whose attention is divided. Can both models coexist? Recent series like ‘The Bear’ or ‘Succession’ have achieved million-dollar audiences without sacrificing ellipses, long silences or plots that demand attention. Damon’s comment perhaps functions more as a diagnosis than as a definitive sentence: it shows a tension that Hollywood has not resolved for years, the clash between the logic of streaming based on metrics and the persistence of narratives that demand concentration. If viewers look at their phones while watching series, Netflix simply recognizes that behavior and adjusts its production accordingly. But… do we want him to do it?

a show similar to wrestling

by

The evening 5 It was finally celebrated This last Saturday, and as expected, he was not exempt from controversy: of all the fighting, no doubt one of those who generated more expectation for the characteristics of the combatants was that of Abby against Roro. More than a confrontation, almost a declaration of intentions of the event and the response to many doubts about what the evening has in common and what not with traditional sport. The fight. The two boxers appeared to combat after notable sacrifices: Roro in a spectacular physical form and Abby forced to get off the 57 kilos to compete. The stature difference forced Roro to go back to Abby to corner her, while he made a first and third higher assaults, connecting more blows to his rival. In addition, Roro fractured the leg with which he had already had problems during his training. Finally, The jury failed in favor of Abbywhat generated boos for the winner, who had already been booed at her entrance to the ring. Because here not everything is related to sport. Sport theft. The real battle had begun long before they both climbed into the ring. From the first instant, the public made clear his preference for Roro, plasma some live some previous surveys of the organization that gave 78% support to this. Abby’s boos were constant, even at the time she was declared winner. The perception of “theft”, one of the many inherited attitudes of traditional sport and serves the fans of a team to justify their defeat, in a perfectly normalized vocabulary between the press and specialized journalists. Inevitable politicization. They end in this way of configuring the papers that the two boxers have played since the combat was announced and that transcend the merely sports: Abby had criticized Roro In different interventions to foster the conservative role to please a man and call it “anti -inferable”while his rival has become the last year in Spanish symbol of the “Tradwife” movementa vision of the traditional woman subordinated to her husband. Each one has found their audience niche in the opposite extremes of the ideological spectrum, and the evening offered them the opportunity to settle their symbolic differences in a format with great media attention. A round business. At this point, it is clear that the evening business model goes far beyond the mere sports confrontation: it is not a sporting event that is monetized, but an entertainment product that uses sport as a narrative vehicle. With 80,000 carduja attendees (5 million euros of benefitonly on that side) and a large number of first -line sponsors and with very clear intentions (Revolut, Fintech aimed at young people; Spotify, which dominates digital musical consumption; Grefusa, who wants to rejuvenate his image), to which he adds An extra million euros Arriving from Twitch. Sport as narrative. With those figures, it is very clear that the evening’s proposal has to go far beyond a mere boxing combat: to begin with, unlike other sports, the result matters less than the process. Boxers are rewarded with about 100,000 euros For combat, much more than an amateur boxer charges: they are being paid for their value as entertainment, and because each of them contributes their own narratives and their own conflicts, as it has happened with Abby and Roro and a confrontation that came from before. And it will continue to be like that: exposing yourself in the evening provides content for months, stories to tell, narratives to exploit (Abby has already published a video that recorded a month before combat, In a especially low mood). The combat lasts three assaults, but the media value extends throughout the following year. What comes from sport. Although it might seem that all these dynamics are pleased with professional sport, nothing farther from reality. Above all we have the very clear influence of American wrestling, also More Varietés show than technique exhibition. But on the other hand, there is having found a reef in sports controversies, something that specialized media knows perfectly that it sells more than the numerical result of the Derbies. Training matter. Ibai knows very well the springs that move passions in football and has transferred it to the evening: customize athletes and turn them into fallible heroes with a narrative that also polarizes the public. All this is present in traditional football, and that is why training in the narrative of the evening acquires so much importance: months and months of physical evolution followed by heartwith innumerable previous meetings between The rivals that they primed a story not scripted, but almost. The technique is the least. In the digital age, personalities sell more than skills, and the evening has understood it perfectly. The public prefers to see someone known doing something they do not know how to do, as with most of the Streamers They participate, before a stranger being excellent in his specialty. Success and international copies which is generating Ibai’s invention are the perfect proof that the evening is much more than a few boxing fights between fans.

Liver King, the influencer that recommends eating raw livers (and other similar foods) has been arrested in Texas

by

In social networks he became famous as Liver Kingthe “King of the Liver”, but his real name is Brian Johnson. The last months have been hard for this influencer American known for promoting an extreme diet in which, as it is to be assumed, the liver has an important role. Crude, yes. Boom and fall. This week Brian Johnson It was arrested For “terrorist threats” against another Internet star, Podcast announcer Joe Rogan. The arrest marks the lowest point in the boom and fall cycle of this popular and controversial Internet figure, who, who, who, who, who, who, who, who, who, who, who According to the local presshas already been released on bail. Johnson reached his dimension of fame for promoting a radical diet in which the key piece is in casque and other unconventional meats (testicles, brain, penises, bone marrow and, of course, liver), usually in raw. This diet was one of the pillars of a “ancestral” way of life that also included other aspects such as physical training or hunting. Before reaching fame as Liver KingJohnson launched his own business dedicated to dietary supplements. This peculiar way of life won millions of followers: today, Liver King It has about 6.1 million followers in Tiktokabout 3 million in Instagramand more than 1.2 million in YouTube. Just a few months ago it was released in Netflix a Documentary about your figure. Raw liver and muscles. Johnson’s career has been dotted with controversies. One of them when in 2022 had to apologize Upon revealing that part of the physicist who presumes is due to steroid consumption. But among all the controversies that this influencer And entrepreneur, his dietary recommendations are the great constant. Johnson’s advice (and those of many others Influencers dedicated to this business) They have been criticized from various sectors including, of course Nutrition and health experts. According to Jonathan Jarry explains In the McGill University blog, the idea behind the unique diet promulgated by Johnson is the pseudoscientist concept that consuming something will grant us an advantage developing that something: eating liver will improve the health of our liver, eating brain will make us smarter, etc. We can imagine what for this rule of three should be consumed to improve virility. “What is eaten is raised,” said through the popular proverb. Not so healthy. Not only is it not true that raw meat will not give us any advantage at the nutritional level, it also puts us at risk. Different studies have indicated that There are risks derived from this type of consumption. For example A study Posted in 2008 in the magazine of The Korean Society for Parasitology and Tropical MedicineIt observed an increase in the risk of developing toxocariasis. This consumption It has been linked even at the risk of contracting the so-called crime-gauged fever. The hidden truth. As usual, among the tips of doubtful utility of Gurus as Liver King There may be a really redoubt. Exercise regularly or avoid excessive use of digital devices can be perfectly valid advice. Throughout his career, the influencerHe has “moderating” his diet and it is usual to see him consume more “conventional” meats also cooked and even products of the garden. “There is a real apex in Liver King’s way of life (exercising is good, very refined foods are less good, and fresh air is beneficial) but that grain is lost in its huge bowl of casque, bone marrow and talled, which encourages its followers to consume daily to achieve strength and happiness,” explained in his article Jarry. The problem arises when these truths serve to give credibility to pseudoscientific beliefs that can put our health at risk or when these certainties are used to sell products that have little to do with them.

In search of a audience, RTVE is increasingly similar to Telecinco. The consequences are controversial like Melody’s

by

He Melody’s prick in Eurovision It is generating an unexpected shock wave. The last last place in the Latest edition of the controversial festival He has not caused the diva to adopt the usual low profile in these times, waiting for the chaparrón to pass (or not: who heard again about Morpheus’s dream after his penultimate in 2013?), But we have seen her return at a press conference with attacks on some RTVE partners and public television itself. Derogatory comments. Yesterday afternoon, Melody appeared in Study 6 of Prado del Rey before a hundred journalists. It was an expected return because it was the first official statements of the interpreter of ‘ESA Diva’ after set up to the revolt Already other RTVE programs with which he had commitments after Eurovision. “It hurt that some companions of some chains, and of the same chain, have made a little derogatory comments towards my person and my performance,” he said. Among the most commented on networks of this appearance has been The conflict with RTVEhis Positioning with the conflict in Israel or the Message between lines to sonsoles onega. Broncano in the spotlight. With that comment he referred especially to David Broncano’s program, who saw CANCELADA Melody’s visit at the last minute and had to react with an emergency guest. “Above all is mental health, and there has been some television program in which they have laughed that I went home to see my family and my son and need time, and it doesn’t seem good to me,” he said. He also commented that there have been comments on “other programs of RTVE itself. They have been subliminal messages dedicated to my person who did not stick. I do not speak of anyone’s salary and I do not want to talk about mine.” The inevitable Israel. The great presence of this year in Eurovision has been that of Israel, both for the result of popular votes as for the abundant voices that ask for the withdrawal of the country from the contest while continuing the conflict in Gaza. Israel also brought the most tense moment of the press conference, when the press asked Melody to position themselves, after he did This year’s own winner. Melody replied that he would not pronounce because “once I did the Benidorm Fest, I am required by contract not to make political comments.” RTVE Demiente. RTVE has rushed to Defer that point on social networksensuring that “at no time has any representative of Spain in Eurovision be prohibited in Eurovision to make political comments. It is the rules of the UER that establish that the songs, and only the songs should not include political content.” Remember that Israel’s own participation is on the table in the European Broadcasting Union for next editions. They looked for him. For a few months, it could be said that RTVE is facing a series of controversial decisions that are generating conflicts even within the entity and that they move it away from the traditional image of public television, traditionally more moderate and oriented to the public service. Historically, there were objectives on public television (impartiality, public service, absence of advertising) that contrasted with those that could be seen in private (search for audience, spectacularization and conflict). The two borders, however, are blurring. The audience above all. On the one hand, the search for audiences has led to the signing of stars that in some cases are giving good results (‘the revolt’, although far from defeating the unbeatable ‘El Hormiguero’) and in others not so much (‘The family of TV’, which Does not find its space in the afternoons). Significantly, in both cases the programs are supported by the conflict, with Pablo Motos in the first case, which has led to some hostilities rarely seen in that strip; And with the DNA of ‘Save Me’, controversial and missed by definition, in the second. Closer to private TV. Melody’s anger, then, is the result of this reorientation towards proposals more typical of private television. It is detected, for example, in all the treatment that TVE is giving the controversy, managed and fed from the same chain: the press conference -especially tense with the presence of María Eizaguirre, communication director of RTVE-, ‘La Revuelta’ and, of course, ‘The family of TV’. A strategy similar to when ‘Save Me’ commented on the programs of The Telecinco de Vasilecreating a kind of self -sufficient world that feedback itself. All this has given rise to an evolution of RTVE that has caught the attention of Critical means with management of the current president of RTVE, José Pablo López. A manager accustomed to controversy and accused of politicizing the platform And that has motivated that at the moment the question about the table is: do these contents attract new audience or erode confidence in the chain?

If ‘the snow girl’ has left you wanting, you can recover this 6 -episodes miniseries in Netflix with a similar argument

by

The second season of ‘The snow girl’ has become one of Netflix’s recent successes. If you have already finished with it and look for similar series, it is possible that this co -production between the United States and Germany that premiered in 2023 (curiously, very close in time to the first season of ‘The snow girl’) You are interested in its similarities with the adaptation of Javier Castillo’s novel. It’s about ‘my sweet girl’, It is also in Netflixand shows us a woman who has a curious relationship with her two children, with whom she lives retained under conditions of great security. His routine is very similar day to day and they have an order that must be fulfilled under any concept: to follow all the orders of a man who sometimes enters his room. One day, the mother manages to escape and has a car accident in the flight. In the hospital he will meet his parents, who have been looking for her for more than a decade. As you can see, a series full of turns and that is told from the perspective of the injured and semi -amnesic mother, the girl who knows endless secrets of her past life and, of course, the couple of police officers investigating the case. I inevitably remember films like ‘The Room’ and ‘Lost’that also handle issues related to disappearances for a long time and kidnappings that completely disconnect the victims of their families. If you still have any questions, a couple more data: on the one hand, it has a 100% critical score sweet In Rottren Tomatoeswhich undoubtedly makes it a very attractive proposal. In addition, it only extends by six episodes, so it is perfect for a high intensity suspense discharge that can be practically consumed of a sitting.

Republican Giménez threatens a military attack on Mexico similar to Afghanistan after ultimatum to end cartels

by

Extreme positions among Republicans are advancing by leaps and bounds, even for attacking a strategic ally and main trading partner like Mexico. The representative Carlos Giménez (Florida), of Cuban descent, threatened to support a United States military attack in Mexicosimilar to what happened in Afghanistan, after issuing an ultimatum that they must end the cartels in two weeks. “I would give Mexico two weeks to do the job, and if they can’t do it, then we have to do it,” Giménez said on Fox News. “We have to protect American citizens. Hey, Stuart, they’ve been killing hundreds of thousands of Americans, and they’re doing it knowingly. (…) they are poisoning us. So, yes, we have to go find them and we have to wipe them off the face of the Earth.” The presenter expressed that this was a radical position, but Giménez stated that the United States launched attacks in Afghanistan after the death of 3,000 Americans, in reference to the 9/11 terrorist attacks. “We were at war for 15 years and Al Qaeda killed 3,000 Americans,” he said. “These Mexican cartels (…) are killing hundreds of times more than that. And they are on the other side of the border. So yes, we have to go find them and wipe them off the face of the earth.” Giménez defended that President Donald Trump will order naming cartels as Transnational Terrorist Organizations (FTO, in English). “We are very happy that they are terrorists and have been designated terrorists,” he said. However, the appointment as FTO to cartels and other criminal organizationslike Tren de Aragua and MS-13, is not yet effective, as President Trump called for a framework to support the designation, to determine if it is viable and how it should be done. Mexico has expressed that it will not allow unilateral military attacks by the United States and will defend its territory and sovereignty, which is why it asked to maintain cooperation against organized crime. Even Secretary of State Marco Rubio said at his confirmation hearing that he preferred to increase cooperation with Mexico against cartels rather than appointing them FTO, due to the complications that would entail.
