A tsunami that caused thousands of dead

by

He Magnitude earthquake 8.8 Registered this morning on the Kamchatka Peninsula, it reminded many of the earthquake and subsequent Tsunami that devastated a segment of the Japanese western coast in 2011. However, to find a precedent closer to the recent event we have to go back further in time, as of November of the year 1952. Some precedents. Specifically to November 4, 1952at 18:58, Spanish peninsular time, 3:58 am in the Kamchatka Peninsula. It is estimated that this day, the failure that separates the Pacific and North America plates slid generating an earthquake of magnitude 9.0 (it must be taken into account that the logarithmic nature of the scale implies that the difference between both events could be remarkable). The event happened almost 73 years ago is maintained as the largest earthquake recorded in the region, although the archives of the United States Geological Service (USGS) also highlight an earthquake that occurred in 1923 that reached magnitude 8.4. Both the Today’s earthquake Like 1952 they had their OSONRO EPICENTROS (At a distance of only 30 kilometers from each other), unlike the one that occurred in 1923, whose epicenter was in the coast of the Peninsula. The consequences of an earthquake. The 1952 earthquake was not only the largest registered in the region, it was also the fifth largest earthquake measured by the instruments of the geologists. This event also unleashed a powerful tsunami with waves of up to 12 meters captured on the nearby Paramushir Island. The NCEI records (National Centers for Environmental Information), body responsible for preserving data and geophysical information of US institutions, indicate that the 1952 event cost the lives of between 4,000 and 14,000 people, with estimates that place the number in about 10,000 deaths. Despite its magnitude, there is no direct record of direct damages cause of the earth movement in itself. As on other occasions, it was the posterior tsunami that wreaked havoc: the estimates of the NCEI indicate that 99% of the victims of the event would have died as a result of the tsunami. More than earthquakes. Kamchatka is a geologically active region. In the environment in which the earthquakes of 1952 and this year were given, the Pacific plaque moves in the west-northwest direction, at a speed of about 80 mm a year with respect to the North American plate. This implies that between the two earthquakes the plates moved about six meters, Remember the USGS. Proof of the geological activity of the region are also the numerous volcanoes located in the Peninsula. The volcanoes of the region They are still active (As you have seen during the last incident), but also make up an interesting ecosystem that led Unesco to include them in your list of the World Heritage.

thousands of layoffs and goodbye to factories in three countries

by

It is no secret that Intel is going through a complicated stage. The historic processor firm It has been dealing with a crisis for years that can no longer hide, and whose consequences begin to become visible. Since last March 18, the new CEO, Lip-bu Tan, has taken the helm After the departure of Pat Gelsinger. And he has done it with decisions that mark a turning point. The layoffs are only part of the plan: what comes behind points to a deeper transformation. A silent cut (and wide) Intel has not announced dismissals as such. But just read between the lines. In its financial report of the second quarter of 2025the company makes it clear that its goal is to end the year with a template of some 75,000 employees. That is a significant reduction with respect to the 99,500 workers with whom it closed 2024, According to Reuters data. In that interval there were already discreet cuts – Intel himself speaks of “template actions” already completed -, so the exact number of layoffs cannot be specified. But the magnitude of the cut speaks for itself. The plan is part of a broader strategy to reduce operating expenses, gain agility and improve efficiency. In fact, the company has recognized 1.9 billion dollars in restructuring positions only in the second quarter, and those measures are already directly affecting its global operations network. Intel adjustment is not limited to reducing template. He has also begun to cut his presence in countries where he had key projects in progress. In Germany and Polandthe company has decided not to move forward with the expansion plans announced in recent years. They were strategic movements with which he sought to strengthen his manufacturing capacity in Europe, but now they are left out of the new map. In Costa Rica, the withdrawal goes one step further. Intel will consolidate its assembly and test operations, moving part of the activity to larger centers that it already has in Vietnam and Malaysia. The message between the lines is clear: less dispersion, more cost control. The company has also announced that it will slow the works in Ohio, one of its star projects in the United States to adapt the expense rhythm to the real market demand. It remains to be seen if that turn will be enough to recover land in front of rivals such as AMD, NVIDIA or TSMC, who have not stopped gaining muscle while Intel retreated. For now, the steps that are taking a transformation process that will be long, uncomfortable and With global implications. Because when a company like Intel shrinks, it is not only about numbers: it is an impact.

Thousands of people recorded a B-52 at a fair. Shortly after, a commercial flight had to maneuver sharply to avoid it

by

Skywest flight passengers, operated as Delta Connection between Minneapolis and Minot (North Dakota), starred in an unprecedented incident on Friday. The captain of Embraer 175 turned sharply The plane during the approximation by distinguishing a B -52 bomber from the American Air Force too close to its trajectory, which caused surprise and alarm on board. In a video recorded by the passenger Monica Green and Posted on Instagramthe pilot excuses the passengers: “Given their speed – they were military, I don’t know at what speed they were going, but they were much faster than us – I thought it was sure to turn around. They greatly apologize for the aggressive maneuver. It took me by surprise. This is not normal.” An unexpected event that is being investigated The FAA opened an investigation into the event on Monday. Skywest clarified thatdespite having permission to land, the flight made a frustrated approach maneuver By sighting another aircraft in its trajectory. The company is also evaluating the incident from its side. If you wonder what a B -52 was doing in that area, I was fulfilling a scheduled overflow for the North Dakota State Fair, As confirmed by the Air Force. That event is held in Minot, where a civil airport and an air base coexist. The military statement specifies that “The tower did not report the commercial plane”And, after exceeding the fairgrounds, he was ordered at the bomber to move three kilometers west. Tiktok @Theruralrose user recorded the two aircraft in the air from the North Dakota State Fair Platform monitoring data Flightradar24 reveal that he Embraer 175 He made an abrupt turn to the right, recovered altitude and remained waiting before restarting the approach. FAA added that air traffic control in Minot is managed by an external companywhose operators have “the same training and qualification requirements as those of FAA.” Green told CNN: “It was a very right turn and then he went quite to the sides. I looked out the window and all I saw was the grass.” The Embraer 175 belongs to the E -Jet family, a range of regional aircraft manufactured by the Brazilian Embraer. It is a narrow fuselage design thought for short and medium radio routes. Normally it transports between 76 and 88 passengers according to single or double class configurations, with turbofan engines GE CF34-8E and a vCruise elocity near 890 km/h (Mach 0.82). Its typical reach exceeds 3,300 km.

There is a youtuber broadcasting the Soterration works of the A-5 in Madrid. And there are thousands of people hooked

by

The phenomenon popularly known as “Retirees looking at the works“A recurring image in urban environments has been for decades. But new technologies have redefined that passer -by: a YouTube channel that broadcasts comments the advances of the megaobras of the A5 is the last incarnation of a phenomenon as old as the same cities. And this is its most recent plasma. Look at YouTube works. Travel is my thing It is the name this channel that contemplates in detail works, especially from Madrid. It started like A travel channelbut it has ended up focusing on different works in the capital: MADRINGthe Puerta del Sol awningsthe stations of Atocha and Chamartínthe new Castellana Park… And of course, that controversial mastodon and that is turning the south of the capital into chaos, which is the underground of the A-5, which has already dedicated A fortnight of videos. Many of this theme are around 25,000 views and already have almost 20,000 subscribers. A-5, in detail. It is not strange that the account focuses on the works of SOTERRATION OF THE A-5that affect Neighborhoods like Lucero, Aluche, Camp and Casa de Campo: The works began in October last year but it is from January when they have started Generate problems. Its objectives, among other things, are to reduce surface traffic by 90%, improve air quality and reduce noise. However, the problems follow each other as they are dodged The original planning: The capacity has been reduced by half in a three -kilometer stretch, generating large bottles, and specific closures and deviations are being enabled, which is giving rise to tremendous chaos. Why interests. All this gives as fruit A horrible summer to move around Madrid Due to the problems that are also generating the works by Metro, Cercanías, Metro Light and some of the aforementioned above. It is a problem that literally affects millions of people who move daily for the capital by public or private transport, so it has every sense of the world that they want to be informed. Accounts such as traveling is mine provide valuable information beyond official sources. The cliché of the retirees. Beyond the service that these accounts give, the truth is that the topic of retirees looking at works, thanks to accounts like this, acquires a renewed sense, but without limitations of age or free time. We are the digital version of That passerby that in his day Manuel Delgado defined as “he Flâuneur contemporary“. Only now we have Short videos with specific reflections On the layout or incidents of a work, or live broadcasts that document minute large projects such as eThis follows the Camp Nou reconditioning or this detailed chronicle of Those of the Romareda. Children of #Pormishuevism. Those who want warm up with the nth jam of the A-5 They have their content, and the fans of superconstructions, too. It is a trend of digital content consumption that reflects interest, not lacking criticism, for urban transformation, and that derives from legendary accounts in networks such as Broken nation. In more recent times, he has gained great follow -up Erik Harley coining the term #PorMishuevismo, with which he invented a false artistic movement to denounce speculative architecture, urban corruption and waste in public and private projects. The success of satirical or openly critical accounts with urban transformation is what has generated interest in the excesses in construction in large cities. Now, with one more eye put in the detailed analysis of the evolution of the works, this interest is exploited as traveling is mine. Header | Travel is my thing

In León there are small villages that are finding a peculiar phenomenon: thousands of “ghost tourists”

by

In the world there is good and bad touristsrespectful tourists and disrespectfulclean and others capable of converting places such as Everest either The Fuji In authentic stercolera, but much less common is what some peoples of the province of León are living. His municipalities are finding a kind of “Ghost Tourism”a drip of thousands and thousands of travelers that nobody has seen or heard or housed, but that in theory they have visited the town. Or at least he assures it A study of the INE. Multiplying the census by 24. Carbajal sources It is a town of León located about 50 minutes by car from the provincial capital and surrounded by hectares and hectares of cultivation. It doesn’t usually sneak into the news, but Monday León News He dedicated him A broad article which explains a peculiarity of the people: in summer there are few municipalities in which the population shoots more for tourism. According to A study INE experimental that measures the flow of tourists from the position of mobile phones, between July and August 2024 the town received 1,826 tourists. Many do not seem like many, but it is that INE himself acknowledges that in the Leonese town there are barely registered 76 people. That is, when the heat arrives, the summers multiply by 24 the municipal census. Next to nothing. “It’s a mockery”. Such data would be compressible if Carbajal sources had a natural park, an old fortress, parties known throughout the community or some other claim that explains that avalanche of visitors, but the City Council itself itself Recognize that this figure of 1,826 tourists (464 in July and 1,180 in August) is difficult to explain … and even more difficult to assume. “It is a burial,” nods The mayor of the town, Carlos de León Saluds, in León News. Similar opinion, Ana María Ortega, former mayor and councilor, Explain That one thing is that the influx of visitors increases in July and August for the people who returns to the village or visit to their relatives and a very different one that the data is triggered in an exorbitant way. “In summer you can triple the population, but multiply by 24 the number of inhabitants with veraners and tourists cannot be.” So … what happens? To understand that mysterious “Ghost Tourism” the first thing is to go to the prine sources. The data of the 1,826 tourists leaves a new “Experimental Statistics” of the INE that resorts to the signals of the mobiles to calculate different metrics related to tourism: the place of origin of foreigners arriving in Spain, the destinations that visit the Spaniards when they leave the country and the movement between communities, provinces and municipalities. The study has been prepared for a few years and always talks about the same: “Tourists.” If we consult the “internal tourism” data and more specifically the flows of “Interprovincial tourists” Residents in Spain, classifying the results by municipalities, the surprise arrives: in July of last year Fuentes de Carbajal received 646 and in August 1,180. In total 1,826. The question is therefore … how are those figures calculated that collide the mayor and the former mayor of the people? Mobile and antennas matter? The response is given by INE in The technical file From the survey: the data is related to the position of mobile phones and are obtained thanks to the collaboration of the country’s large operators. The approach is interesting and promising, but implies certain challenges. “The location of mobile phones is estimated from mobile phone antennas”, collects the institute itself: “This implies that the location of a mobile is not established with total precision, and the error depends on the concentration of antennas.” In summary, the more mobile antennas, the greater precision. Unraveling the mystery. The INE’s ability to analyze the data is also limited. The records on mobile location are anonymous and processed each operator, so the institute receives only aggregate data and in tables, without option to examine loose values. In rural areas it is also found that the low density of the network conditions the type of ‘cells’ with which it operates. By statistical secret, the institute also hides certain data. With that information about the Ortega table Slide that the balance of carbajal sources (which is so adjusted to what is perceived in the people itself) may be due to technical issues, such as coverage or that for some reason the data of other municipalities are added to those of the Leonesa Villa, thus blurring the real photo. Near Fuentes de Carbajal there are other villas with a balance of zero visitors. In Xataka we have already addressed the INE to ask him about that apparent mismatch. Is it the only case? No. León News Informs other equally striking, although none reaches the level of carbajal sources. In San Millán de los Caballeros, for example, the INE registered 1,648 tourists in July and in August 1,602, which adds 3,250. Again they may not seem like many, but it is that the town has 191 inhabitants registered. The same occurs in Izagre, of 137 residents and who according to the statistical institute receives almost 2,000 Veranians. “We don’t have great parties, just four performances during the summer,” remember the mayor of San Millán. “There are two campsites close to the people, but they are in the municipal terms of Valencia de D Juan and Villamañán.” Nor does the Izagre councilor achieve to understand everything that happens: “On central summer days, with the holidays, between 150 and 200 people can be reached in each of the villages, but reaching the 1,987 veraneantes in those two months cannot be.” Images | Zed Mendez (UNSPLASH)Google Maps and Wikipedia Via | León News In Xataka | It is increasingly easy to see from the road a crop that had never been dominant in Spain: the pistachio

In 2011 a mysterious series of numbers and letters appeared in Reddit. Thousands of people would spend years trying to decipher her

by

Fourteen years ago a Reddit user appeared called ‘A858DE45F56D9BC9’ and began publishing characters of characters, apparently meaningless, in a SubnetDit of the same name. For more than a year the publications went unnoticed until one day madness began. What followed was the creation of a community with thousands of obsessed people with solving the puzzle And, above all, know who was behind the one who is considered One of the biggest Internet mysteries. Reddit’s Stonehenge Although the user’s name was much longer, in Reddit it is known as The mystery of A858. Although the first publications arose in July 2011, it was not until 2012 when the Reddit community began to pay them attention. Some users attempted to disappoint the messages and there was one that made interest explode. The comment and the answer confirmed that A858 was not “something”, but “someone.” A user mentioned that A858 was Reddit’s Stonehenge in reference to Its function was a mystery. A858 responded shortly after with one of his classic encrypted messages. The surprise came when they discovered that it was an image in ASCII format that represented precisely that: the Stonehenge. Until that point he had not given too much importance, but with this it was demonstrated that Behind A858 there was someone human. And then madness unleashed. Years trying to solve it Users wanted to know the goal behind those messages and set out to disregard them, but they soon realized that it was not going to be simple. In September 2012, the SOLVINGA COMMUNITY858 which currently has 15,000 members. Here a collective effort to understand The goal behind A858 that lasted years. Decipher A858 seemed impossible. He also behaved strangely: he disappeared, erased posts … the community was frustrated Only a few messages were deciphered by the community, including some citations of famous authors such as is from Max Lerner, Christmas greetings either References to April’s Fool (The equivalent of innocent’s day). The challenge was very complex from the technical point of viewhe used unusual obfuscation techniques, and there was not a clear pattern in his behavior; Sometimes he disappeared, he deleted posts, the submandit made deprived, Some messages were very easy to solve and others seemed impossible… This made the community frustrate and begin to lose interest, but then A858 appeared and everything was reactivated. Ask A858 Anything One of the points in the Subbreddit Solvinga858 was in 2015 when A858 made a mist (Ask Me Anything) where He attended to the numerous doubts of the users, although they also had to disappoint them. It wasn’t going to be so simple. Users asked him if they were wasting his time trying to decipher him, to which A858 replied that no, but I couldn’t tell them the goal behind the project. He also revealed that only a woman from the United Kingdom had managed to decipher him and expected more correct answers. Here you can read in fullbut then we highlight some of the questions and answers of the session: What is R/A858DE45F56D9BC9? The objective cannot be revealed. A858 published ASCII art drawings, prime numbers tables, Apple II source code fragments, etc. Were you playing with us? Because? Coded posts are designed to be easily resolved. And the other encrypted using a stronger encryption? The other posts are not designed to be easily resolved. There are often long pauses in which there are no A858 posts. Is A858 your only job? Sometimes we are retouching. Other times we are working on other projects. Are you doing this love alone or are we talking to the team of which you are part? A858 is a project with a team. I am a member of the team. Are you affiliated with a government organization? I don’t know any place that has no government. An unsolved mystery The question session fed even more if the mystery fits, but over time A858 was publishing less frequently until the publications ceased completely. In March 2016, after months in which the Subbreddit had been deprived, A message appeared which said “the A858 project has concluded. It can be unsubscribed.” Many users did not believe it, but A858 never published again. A858 was never resolved. We only know that there was a company behind that one day cut the financing. The next news that was had was In September 2016 through one of the moderators of Solvinga858which revealed that he had had contact with the person behind A858. In his message he assured that this mysterious person was paid by a company to “post code puzzles through encryption and different text handling methods.” After a while, The company behind the project decided to cut the financing And there all ended. Needless to say that It was not the answer that the community expected and left too many unknowns to solve. Theories behind A858 As a good mystery, there are many theories about what was really behind A858. One of the most repeated is that it was A company looking for experts in encryption To hire them. A858 agreed over time with Cicada 3301 Another very similar mystery, although much easier to solve. Supposedly those who managed to decipher Cicada, received a message to enter a mysterious organization. Another of the theories defends that A858 a ‘Numbers Station’ Used by Mossad for Espionage Tasks. It does not seem to be known with total certainty, but one of the theories that makes more sense is that A858 was A company testing its own safety. In this scenario, The objective of the project would be precisely for anyone to solve the puzzleswhich would show that security was good. If so, they got it.

In Spain there is a surname that was for centuries a social conviction. Today thousands and thousands of people use it

by

In North Korea there is a word that marks the life of its 26.4 million inhabitants from the cradle: Songbuna term that is usually translated as “origin” or “seed” and that in practice works as A caste system based on the merits of the ancestors. If your grandparents and parents have a good file that translates into a good Songbunwhich guarantees facilities throughout life. Discol ancestors with the regime carry the opposite. In Spain Songbun It sounds distant concept, but for a long time there were certain surnames that complicated the future to those who took them, including an especially popular one that they share today tens of thousands of Spaniards. Surname question. Babies do not arrive with a bread bar under their arm, but they do with something that defines them much more: surnames. Its history is long. And complex. In Rome they already used the Tria payrolla system that identified citizens with several ‘labels’ (roster and cognomen) that went beyond the simple first name and revealed the family clan from which they came. With the passing centuries, surnames have evolved to the current system, sometimes with key changes, such as the driven In the sixteenth century by Cardinal Cisneros and that contributed to the fact that in Spain we have two surnames. But … And when are there no parents? Each of us we have taken surnames of our parents, but … What happens when that figure does not exist? What happens to ‘uprooted’ babies who were abandoned to the gates of churches and end up creating in orphanages, without a known family? In those cases it had to pull inventive, although it was not strange that the institutions resort to certain formulas standard that if for something stood out it was their total lack of touch. In even many children received surnames such as incognito, Diosdado, white or lying. In Catalonia, it was also resorted to Deulofeua formula that can be translated as “God did”. And that to quote only a handful of examples. On other occasions, more imaginative solutions were chosen, such as religious references or the place where the creature had been found, a frequent practice for example in Gipuzkoa for a good part of the nineteenth century. Antton Iparraguirre had a few years ago in Basque newspaper How between the sixteenth and eighteenth centuries there were quite a few orphan from Pamplona who received the surname Goñi in tribute to Don Ramiro de Goñi, benefactor of the General Hospital. Distribution of the surname Expósito (as the first last name). The last name of the “abandoned”. Another helpful solution (much less discreet) was surname Expósitoa word that comes from Latin expositus, Exponowhich means “put out.” Expósito thus became the last name of the abandoned, those creatures that their parents disregard because they could not afford their parenting, for shame or because their parents had not recognized them as legitimate. His luck was to end up care of the State or the Church, breastfed by nodrizas. Only the luckiest ended up prohibited. More than a last name. “Expósito was and is more than a surname, it is a label that pointed to both the person who had unknowns, unknown parents, as well as their descendants, since it proclaims the four winds that at some point the origins are uncertain,” Write The genealogist Mireia Nieto in great -grandson. In Your essay On the abandonment of children between the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries and the Pamplona orfelineo, historian Lola Valverde also recalls that the figure of the Expósito was presented in a way as that of “a condemned by society.” “As if he were guilty of his situation and to accept his destiny without rebeling, educational approaches are outlined,” he reflects. The last name exposed became a brand, a label that reminded them of for life (them and the rest of society) that were the result of abandonment. The echoes of your stigma can still be found in The regulation of the Civil Registry of 1958, in which the judges are recognized the power to manage changes of the surname “or other analogues, indicators of unknown origin”. A figure: 34,084. The times of the old orfeliners of the old regime, to which children arrived familically and terrified, which reduced their survival possibilities, are already behind, but not the last name exposed. Although it is not even from far as popular as “García”, “Pérez” or “González”, the database The INE shows that today identifies tens of thousands of people in Spain. 34,084 They use it as the first last name, especially in Lugo, Badajoz and part of Andalusia. 37,332 They use it as a second. There are even 382 that are named “Expósito Expósito”. And another Good handful of hundreds that are used.

In Chrome and Edge there are extensions with thousands of positive valuations. Many are part of malicious campaigns

by

Many times we install extensions without thinking too much. They serve something concrete, they occupy little and are there when we need them. Some even have thousands of opinions, good assessment and years of presence in the store. Now we know that An investigation has uncovered that several of them hid a surveillance system capable of following our steps through the network. They were not obvious scams: they were useful, well -made tools and, above all, silent. The extension that uncovered the problem. “Picker color, Eyedropper – Geco Colorpick” was one of many useful extensions. Allowed to select colors from anywhere on the screen and worked well. More than 100,000 users had it installed, with positive valuations and verification seal included. In the eyes of anyone, there was no reason to distrust. According to Koi Security researchersfor a long time it was completely legitimate. Until it was not. In one of its updates, without warnings or visible changes for the user, the extension began to register pages visited and send that information to a remote server. It also maintained an active connection with a control infrastructure. It was just the beginning. When deepening in the case, the researchers detected common patterns in their code and behavior. What they found was a broader and more coordinated network that they baptized as ‘reddirection’. According to the report, at least 18 different extensions were part of this operation. All were available in Chrome and Edge stores, and together they accumulated more than 2.3 million facilities. Some were passed through productivity tools, others for entertainment profits. There were emojis keyboards, speed controllers for videos, time extensions, dark or supposed VPN issues to unlock services such as Tiktok or Discord. All with something in common: they offered a legitimate function … while spying in the background. What they did was not to install classic malware. These extensions implemented a browser kidnapping system that was activated every time the user opened a new tab or sailed to another page. The malicious code was hidden in the extent substance service and did not interfere with its main functionality. The mechanism worked like this: every time a website was loaded, the URL was sent to a remote server next to a unique user identifier. From there, the attackers could order an automatic redirection towards a false page or simply register the activity. Everything happened in the background, without alerts, without emerging windows, without visible failures. Extensions were not malicious from day. And that is what makes this campaign especially dangerous. According to the researchers, many of them spent months – or even more – offering their functionality without any suspicious behavior. Everything changed in an update. The technical team maintains that the malicious code was introduced into subsequent versions, when the extensions already had the confidence of thousands of users. And as browsers update automatically, the change was applied without anyone noticing. No one click was needed. Nor Social Engineering. Neither phishing. And the mechanisms designed to protect the user? Several of the malicious extensions were verified or appeared as highlighted on the Chrome and Edge platforms. Others accumulated positive reviews and a solid user base. All that contributed to the unnoticed when they changed their behavior. These are the extensions directly linked to the Reddirection campaign, according to the analysis carried out by Koi Security researchers. All of them offered apparently legitimate functions, but were identified as part of the same browser kidnapping scheme: PICKER COLOR, EYEDROPPER – GECO COLORPICK Emoji Keyboard Online – Copy & Paste Your Emoji Free Weather Forecast Weather Speed ​​Controller Video – Video Manager UNLOCK Discord – VPN Proxy to Unblock Discord Anywhere UNBLOCK TIKTOK-Seamless Access With One-Click Proxy Unlock YouTube VPN Dark Theme – Dark Reader for Chrome Volume Max – Ultimate Sound Booster Volume Booster – Increase Your Sound Web Sound Equalizer Flash Player – Games Emulator Header Value Unlock Tiktok Volume Booster Web Sound Equalizer Flash Player According to Bleeping Computersome of these extensions have already been removed from Chrome and Edge stores, but others are still available for discharge.

After Puretech, Stellantis calls thousands of cars with 1.5 BlueHdi engine in Spain. In France there are 600,000 affected

by

Thousands of Citroën, Opel, Peugeot, DS and Fiat. Specifically, those of diesel that mount the 1.5 BlueHDI engine and that were manufactured before February 2023. Stellantis has called for revision to more than 600,000 units of these cars in France, as confirmed by our partners from L’Automobileand is already beginning to do the same in Spain, as the company has confirmed to our colleagues from Motorpasion. In Spain, for the moment, the scope of the Call for review In figures but it has been confirmed that a review campaign begins in which the status of the chain will be verified since it can be broken prematurely. A breakage of the chain, Most likely, it ends the life of the engine since the repair is so large that the arrangement is not worth it. Those affected will be called to revision by waves with a communication by the brand but also with A letter from the DGT that will ask the owners of these vehicles to go through the workshop. Puretch ghosts come back Although Stellantis has not given the exact figure of those affected in Spain, the list of vehicles is long since it is an engine that has been used in much of the models of the companies specified above. Specifically, the following models will have to go through the workshop as long as they will be manufactured between October 2017 and February 2023: Citroën: C3 and C3 Aircross (2018-2023), C4 and C4 Cactus (2020-2023) as well as the C4 Picasso and C4 SpaceTourer (2018-2023), C5 Aircross (2018-2023). Peugeot: 208 and 2008 (2018-2023), 308 and 3008 (2017-2023), 508 and 5008 (2017-2023) Opel: Corsa (2019-2023), Crossland X and Crossland (2018-2023), Mokka (2021-2023), Astra (2022-2023), Grandland X and Grandland (2018-2023). DS: DS 3 and DS3 Crossback (2019-2023), DS 4 II (2021-2023), DS 7 Crossback (2017-2023). In the same way the following commercial models are affected: Citroën Berlingo (2018-2023) and the SpaceTourer and Jumpy (2018-2023), the Opel Zafira Life and Vivaro (2018-2023), the Peugeot Traveler and Expert (2018-2023), as well as the Fiat Double and SCUDO (2022-2023) or the Toyota Proace and Proace City (2018-2023) that continued to assemble this engine after the agreement with the old PSA. In the affected models, after the checks, Stellantis will decide whether to make a chain change or a reprogramming of the software. The problem is that the chain has a width of 7 millimeters in diameter that since February 2023 has been replaced by a 8 millimeters. The diagnosis will be made Analyzing the noise of the vehicle that, according to the company, will be decisive when replacing or not the piece. If they consider that it should not be changed, it will be when the reprogramming is performed. While this campaign is launched, Stellantis has announced that Special coverage will be applied. Vehicles equipped with this 1.5 BlueHDI engine, manufactured between October 2017 and January 2023 will have 100% of the cost of the parts or the replacement of them up to 240,000 kilometers or 10 years, which before happens. If the car is affected, the client has the right to be reimburse On this website But it is necessary to have fulfilled the manufacturer’s maintenance obligations. This way of acting is very similar to the one that has been applied with the Defective PureTech engines of the company. In that case, the blocks of gasoline They had the same problem, with a degradation of the distribution strap that could end with a complete breakage of the same and the engine. Stellantis has had to face the call to review thousands of vehicles but, above all, a Image loss in terms of quality who has tried to alleviate with The extension of the guarantee to the affected engines. However, he is facing a Collective demand in our country.

The war now happens thousands of kilometers from our heads

by

It could be material for a apocalyptic science fiction film. A missile of the future with antibalistic, hypersonic and exoatmospheric capabilities, triggered in search of its goal to intercept it: a ballistic missile to Match 5 whose technology literally exceeds the same line of karm at 1,500 km away. Both sophisticated systems are in the exosphere to elucidate a single winner. And yet the scene It is happening in These momentscompletely changing what we understood by war conflict. Invisible theater. The war Between Israel and Iran marks an unprecedented inflection point in the history of the armed conflict, not only for its political implications, but for the radicality of its means and dimensions. What began as an announced escalation, backed by decades of latent tensions, has become a confrontation Without borderswithout terrestrial fronts and without armies facing face to face, an “improved” version of what already We had seen in Ukraine. Because more than 1,500 kilometers away Among the capitals, without sharing borders and without direct implication of the intermediate countries, both states They are attacked flying over and overcoming alien geographies. Israel displays its aerial power over Iran thanks to a fleet of F-35, F-15 and F-16 long-range, replaced in flight and operating on foreign airspace with total impunity. That operational freedom is only possible because they will go, after years of sanctions, it lacks of air capacity To offer resistance. Thus, in the Iranian heavens, any object that moves must be considered an enemy. ASIMETRÍAS AIR WAR. It I remembered On the weekend the historian and professor in Columbia, Adam Tooze. While Israel uses guided fighters and pumps precision attacks (including those Antibunker bombs Made in USA), Iran responds with a more economical strategy but No less ambitious: long -range ballistic missiles. It is an asymmetric war. Israel flies thousands of kilometers to launch bombs. Iran launches missiles that travel that same distance through the air. It We have counted before. Each of these projectiles can cost millionsalthough together they represent a fraction of the value of the Israeli aircraft. The extraordinary thing is that these missiles not only reach objectives to more than 1,000 kilometers away, but also cross The karm linethe border of exterior space, reaching altitudes of up to 400 kilometers Before rushing to your whites. It’s about Exoatmospheric trajectories unpublished in real conflicts, a direct evolution of the technical legacy of the V2 rockets of Nazi Germany, recycled by Soviet and Iranian programs. The “star” shield. Here appears one of those elements that seem taken from fantastic literature. Because the Israeli response to these attacks Cosmic is Equally Futuristto. Thanks to decades of collaboration with the United States, Israel has deployed the Arrow 3 systeman interceptor capable of neutralizing ballistic missiles in The emptiness of space. Derived from SDI program from Ronald Reagan, the system (developed by IAI, Boeing, Elta and Elbit Systems) Base on the premise of “impacting a bullet with another bullet”, yes, with a “deficit”: a cost of 2 million dollars per unit. These interceptors reach the Iranian missiles at their highest point, even before they enter the Israeli atmosphere. In fact, the first successful interception in combat occurred November 9, 2023marking a milestone: the first time a missile was destroyed in space during a war. Kárman line The dome and the price to pay. Tooze told An anecdote that betrayed the heart of the use of these “stellar” defenses. During The massive attack April 2024, more than 550 projectiles (between ballistic and cruise missiles) launched against Israel. The aerial defense responded successfully, avoiding the closest to a cataclysm. He also counted That the tangible result of that night was that the population returned to work normally. However, this degree of protection has an exorbitant price: up to 285 million dollars by night in defensive operations, According to the Washington Post. In addition, interceptor missile production is limited. Israeli and American factories simply They cannot manufacture enough Arrow 3 to hold that rhythm for a long time. Hence, in the current conflict, the great strategic question is Who will exhaust before His arsenal: They will go with their missiles or Israel with their interceptors. Europe and a shadow. Thus, while the United States and its allies carefully observe that kind of “Star Wars in real life” that reagan pursued, Europe seems determined to acteven convincing Spain. We count it months ago: under the Sky Shield project promoted by Germany, they have Batteries in charge of the Arrow 3 system for billions of euros for that promoted rearme How much Ansia the United States and his wallet. Although the Israeli experience does not automatically translate into the defense of the American continental territory against ICBM, it does for the European continent, which sees in this shield an response to coming threats. New war paradigm. In the background, something that It intuited From the drone war triggered after the Russian invasion of Ukraine and that this confrontation Missilistics Between Israel and Iran He has enhanced: The beginning of a new military era. Gone are conventional wars where the fronts were measured by terrestrial kilometers. Today, war is no longer A geographical matter and attack trajectories cross continents and atmospheres, battles are fought From the exosphere Even nuclear facilities basements buried in mountains. What seemed science fiction (intercept rockets in space, living under invisible defensive domes or coordinating surgical bombings at 1,500 km away) is now part of the Routine Arsenal of the most militarized states in the world. An unpublished experiment. First It was Ukraine. Now, the war between Israel and Iran has confirmed, in geostrategic terms, a Radical rupture. Not only because of its extension or its protagonists, but for the type of technologies That he uses, the scenario in which he is fought and the fundamentally technical, automated and remote nature of his operations. It is no longer just a regional confrontation: now it points to the beginning of An orbital era of distance war, where supremacy is defined in … Read more
