trick

Parking in the sun in Córdoba and in summer is like turning your car into an oven. Luckily, there is a key trick.

by

Sometimes I wonder what a pizza will feel like when I put it in the oven. So I wait until 6:00 p.m., I open my car (which is parked on a street in Cordoba in the sun because I have no other option), I get in, and I think “ah, well like that.” It’s a penance because everything is very, very hot, from the seat to the steering wheel to the gear lever of my humble Seat Ibiza. The air conditioning goes as far as it goes, and by the time the car cools down, my clothes are already soaked in sweat. Since I can’t turn on the air conditioning remotely (I wish), a simple way to at least reduce the impact of the heat when getting in the car is to key trick. Windows down, windows up It is quite likely that your car opens and closes with a little touch. Well, there is a trick (it’s no secret, but it never hurts to remember it) to open and lower the windows remotely using only the controller: If you hold down the car unlock button, the windows go down. If you press and hold the car lock button, the windows close. Using this trick is one of those things that, over the years, I have become accustomed to. In my case, I only have automatic front windows, only the front ones go down. And let’s see, things as they are: This doesn’t work magic, but at least it’s progress.. The car is still hot because well, it’s hot, I’m in Córdoba and I’ve parked in full sun, but the initial shock when getting into the car is considerably reduced. If not even for those, we can always resort to the call “japanese trick“: open a window and open and close the opposite door to renew the interior air and reduce a few degrees. In my case, due to the area where I park, this is not always possible, but if you have space on the sides it may be a good idea. From here on, the mechanisms to cool the car are the same as always: Do the first few meters with the windows down and the air conditioning fan at low revolutions. Once you have reached cruising speed, roll up the windows and turn on the air conditioning a little stronger. Use the air recirculation button. Point the air conditioner towards the ceiling.

Unitree has a robot dog that moves at full speed through seemingly impossible terrain. His trick: legs with wheels

by

With the boom of humanoidsit seems that the quadruped robots They have taken a backseat, but Unitree has just shown that they can still leave us speechless. during this weekend a video has gone viral of his latest invention: a wheeled robot dog traversing terrain through which no other robot could move, and all at brutal speed. It is called Unitree As2-W and what distinguishes it from other quadruped robots is that its legs have wheels. This allows you to overcome obstacles more easily and move very quickly. So much so that Unitree itself warns that the video is not acceleratedbut it is the real speed. Up to 6 meters per second and 30km of autonomy Many of the comments on networks refer to the speed at which it moves. A user in X says “Imagine trying to escape that thing”, another on YouTube comments “You can’t escape them now, guys!” Specifically, the robot can reach a speed of 3.7 meters per second, although it is capable of reaching peaks of 6 meters per second. This is equivalent to 13.3 km/h with sprints of 21.6 km/h, but if we take into account that the video shows how it descends very steep slopes, the speed it reaches is much higher. It has a 15,000 mAh battery that allows you to walk non-stop for 3 hours, which translates into a total autonomy of 30 km. If the robot is loaded, the autonomy is reduced to 2 continuous hours and about 25 km. Speaking of weight, the robot weighs only 25 kg and is capable of moving 16 kg of load while walking, but supports up to 150 kg statically. The secret is in the wheels (and their flexibility) At a design level, the Unitree As2-W is the same as many of the robot dogs we have seen, with the main difference that it does not have pads on its legs, but rather wheels. These wheels have 7 inches in diameter which, combined with the wide range of movement of their joints, allows them to adapt to all types of terrain, reaching overcome obstacles 80 cm high and slopes of 45º inclination. Regarding the flexibility of its legs, its body can rotate between -45º and 45º, the thigh between -115° to 200° and the calf between -159° and -47°. They are wide ranges that allow you to fold and extend the leg to absorb impacts after falling from great heights, adopt open postures for climbing, and reposition yourself very quickly after a jump. In addition to being able to go down mountains and cross rivers (it has IP54 water resistance), in the video they also show how does stunts because of course, if not It wouldn’t be Unitree. Your hiking companion or your worst nightmare In the video, Unitree shows that its new robot is the perfect hiking companion that carries your backpack and always stays by your side thanks to its intelligent tracking system. However, while Unitree sells it to us as a kind of “sherpa”, A good part of the comments on networks point towards a very different use: its potential in military environments. One of the comments with the most ‘likes’ on YouTube says “Imagine this dog chasing you through the jungle with weapons”, another points out that “Millions of soldiers are rethinking their lives after seeing this”, along with others like the one who jokes with a manhunt or mentions of the Black Mirror episode ‘Metalhead’. These are the typical comments that usually appear in robot videos, but it is still striking how the company’s marketing collides with the interpretation made by the networks.

the trick is in the takeoff angle

When we talk about drones we automatically think of flying vehicles, but There are also underwater drones. What is not so common is that the same drone is capable of doing both. It’s fair what MIT just achieved: a small robot with wings able to fly and dive into wateras if it were a seabird when it hunts. The robot, which they have baptized with the not at all suggestive name “flipping-wing air-water vehicle” (FAAV), has been developed by a team of engineers from MIT and EPFL and lays the foundations for the creation of a new type of drones capable of moving in various environments. Inspired by nature The design is nothing like that of a typical flying drone since it does not have propellers, but to fly it uses two wings like those of a bird. The wings are attached to a small central fuselage where the battery and motor that move them are located. The wings are made of a thin membrane with a water-repellent coating that repels water, so that it does not add weight or slow down your movements when leaving the water. It also has an adjustable tail that allows you to make turns and adjust the inclination both when entering and leaving the water. In total it weighs only 300 grams. For its creation, engineers analyzed the characteristics of more than 100 species of diving birds, such as puffins, petrels and kingfishers. What they have observed is that smaller birds are capable of flapping their wings about ten times in the air and four times in the water, while the frequency is lower in the case of larger birds such as seagulls. To simulate different types of flight, they created several types of wings of different sizes that can be interchanged. There is a curious nuance and that is that the majority of diving birds use their legs to gain momentum and take off from the water. The robot does not have them and still achieves the same effect, The trick is in the takeoff angle. After several tests they saw that it needs to leave the water at 70 degrees, if it goes too far, instead of taking off, it falls backwards. Remote research and exploration The logical question is what is this for, and there are two answers. The first is that they wanted to study in more depth the flight mechanics of these birds and how they modify it when going from air to water and vice versa. The second is to use this robot as exploration vehicle for remote areas. The idea of ​​Raphael Zufferey, lead author of the study, is that these robots can be launched from a ship or the coast to fly to areas of interest (such as an iceberg, a port, a group of whales), submerge to take a sample or measurement, and fly again to deliver the data. Everything a lot cheaper than with traditional oceanographic meansand with the possibility of repeating the process every hour instead of every week. The team’s next steps include give the wings turning capacity (in addition to flapping) and test the robot in more adverse conditions, such as rough water or wind. Images | M.I.T.

This is how China circumvents 2,000 ASML patents with a laser trick

by

The extreme ultraviolet lithography (EUV) is the tightest bottleneck in the entire semiconductor industry. Only one company in the world, the Dutch ASML, manufactures these machines, essential for producing integrated circuits below 7 nm, and since 2019 is prohibited from selling its most advanced models to China due to US pressure. Each device costs between 200 and 400 million dollars, and so far not a single Chinese client has managed to obtain one. A team from the Chinese Academy of Sciences, based at the Shanghai Institute of Optics and Precision Mechanics, has built China’s first laser-plasma EUV light source platform. In front is Lin Nanformer ASML scientist and technical manager of its light sources for metrology, who returned to China in 2021 as part of a state talent attraction program. His team has chosen a path that deliberately avoids ASML’s method, as well as more than 2,000 of its patents. Qiu Yanfang, Chinese columnist specializing in semiconductors, has summed it up unambiguously: This patent rodeo is not just a legal maneuver; It’s genuine engineering. And it is this assessment, published just two weeks ago, that has once again put the focus on how far China has really come in its race for technological independence in lithography. The longest road to mass production The technical trick is this: while ASML generates EUV light by firing powerful carbon dioxide lasers at moving tin droplets (a method known as LPP), Lin Nan’s team uses a 1-micron solid-state laser that hits a solid tin target. In a published article In December 2024, Lin and his team were already arguing that this type of laser could replace carbon dioxide lasers as a next-generation source thanks to its compact size and higher conversion efficiency. However, Qiu Yanfang herself qualifies her initial enthusiasm. In the short term, he maintains, this solid-state source cannot shake ASML’s dominance, since the entire global semiconductor industry has built its supply chains, patents and engineering expertise around the carbon dioxide laser. Although Chinese technology achieves results in the laboratory, it still has a long way to go until achieve large scale production. The real value of Lin’s achievement, in any case, lies in laying the foundation and forging a research team that covers everything from theory to applied engineering. The Chinese Government aims to produce chips with this technology in 2028, although many analysts consider 2030 a more realistic date. This effort also coexists with another parallel and much more hermetic path. As revealed Reuters As of December 2025, China has assembled a working prototype EUV machine inside a high-security laboratory in Shenzhen, although it has not yet manufactured functional integrated circuits. Huawei coordinates this initiative, which involves thousands of engineers: the Harbin Institute of Technology is in charge of the light source, the Changchun Institute of Optics for the optical systems, and SMEE (Shanghai Micro Electronics Equipment) of the final integration, with YesCarrier (the Chinese company backed by the Shenzhen Government and linked to Huawei) as another of the key actors. The Chinese Government aims to produce chips with this technology in 2028, although many of the analysts consider 2030 a more realistic date. For now, no Chinese prototype has proven to be capable of manufacturing commercial integrated circuits with its own UVE lithography, and doubts about the real speed of this advance have returned to the front line of information for a very different reason. US Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick has raised ASML senior managers the possibility that one of its SVU teams has reached China through clandestine channels, something that the Dutch company has denied emphatically: none of its 314 operational EUV machines in the world, nor is any of the 26 already withdrawn located in Chinese territory. China does not have its EUV machine yet. But, thanks to Lin Nan, it now has something that until recently it didn’t have either: its own path to try to build it.

What science says about the “trick” of two crossed fans to cool the house: it works, but with limits

by

With heat waves hitting the thermometers, the desperation to cool the house without increasing the electricity bill leads us to look for any shortcut. And although the new air conditioners have shown that they have a low daily costthe reality is that many people prefer to opt for the classic fan and there are ways to optimize its operation. An idea. Something that has become popular in recent days is the possibility of using two fanshaving each in opposite windows. Under this premise, the idea is that one of them brings in air from the street and the other manages to get it out to ensure that the house in the end is as cold as possible within their possibilities. It has support. What is proposed here is to take to the extreme a concept that has been used for a long time in the architectural world to ensure that homes, passively, can acclimatize. And, according to the design standards and manuals of entities such as the IDAE, uwell-designed cross ventilation can reduce the interior temperature by up to 5°C. The two-fan technique falls into the category of hybrid or assisted ventilation. As detailed by platforms specialized in architecture such as ArchDaily or the technical area of ​​Tinsa, it is not enough to open windows at random. For there to be flow, a pressure difference must exist. The idea. By placing one fan pointing inward on the coldest façade, which is normally the north one or the one facing a shady patio, and another pointing outward on the opposite façade, we are mechanically forcing that pressure differential. The goal here is for the cool air to push the stagnant hot air mass out the opposite window. Although yes, for this flow to accelerate and be more efficient, the opening through which the air leaves should be more open than the one through which it enters. It’s proven. A thesis from the Piloto University of Colombia wanted analyze the effectiveness of this ventilation methodand it was seen that this system showed a significant reduction in thermal load in a hot-humid climate. Although here it is important to highlight that the thermal insulation of the home or building is very important, logically, to maintain an adequate temperature. It has small print. Logically, these two fans cannot work miracles, and if the outside temperature exceeds 30 degrees and especially if the relative humidity is high, cross ventilation loses all its effectiveness. Far from cooling, here there would be thermal energy in the home and forcing the entry of air at 35 °C with a fan is the equivalent of turning on a giant hair dryer. The best hour. Here the official recommendations point out that cross, forced or natural ventilation is a strategy that should be left for the first thing in the morning or at night. when the temperature is considerably lower. For the “two fans trick” to work and achieve that promised 5°C drop in the structure of the house, you must apply it only when the outside temperature drops below the inside temperature. This is called “selective ventilation” since during those hours, the mechanical technique of the two fans will sweep away the heat accumulated on the walls and ceilings during the day.

the most effective trick has nothing to do with that

by

You come back from vacation, open the door, and suddenly you’re greeted with a strong sewer smell that certainly wasn’t there when you left. The Internet has been filled with advice to avoid this problem: from carrying a cup of orange peels to throwing away half a kilo of coffee grounds. The only problem is that, as I’m sure you’ve noticed, each one is more surreal than the last. What can we do so that our house does not smell like lightning? The first thing is to understand that this fashion that runs rampant on the Internet is not a meaningless article industry. Nameless experts, tricks that “come straight from Central Europe” and slightly eccentric ideas: what we usually find are creative and ineffective solutions, to be honest. The example of orange peels is perfect to understand it. “Throw orange peels down the toilet once a week“, say some advice. And the truth is that the peels are scented: they release essential oils (limonene), but their concentration is very low and, of course, not enough to degrease or unclog the pipes. In fact, if we go to the fine print, we see that the ‘trick’ does not even recommend ‘flushing’ them down the toilet; Just put them in the water in the cup for twenty or thirty minutes. That is to say (and in short) it is nothing that really helps… …but at least it’s not the coffee trick. That’s true. Coffee grounds are much worse.: above all, because they cake and settle in elbows and siphons. With repeated use, in fact, they end up reducing the flow rate of the pipes as if it were cholesterol. It is not something that happens suddenly (pouring a spoonful of coffee into the water is not going to flood your house), but it does not seem like the most reasonable practice (cost-benefit). And they are not the only tricks. In fact, the problem of using the toilet as a trash can is enormous in our country. Only Isabel II Canalin the Community of Madrid, removed around 33,000 tons of solid waste from its treatment plants in 2024. About four kilos per person. In the end, according to the urban water association (DAQUAS)these wastes make water purification more expensive by around 10 and 15%. And, perhaps that is why, all the management companies repeat the same thing: only pee, excrement and paper go down the toilet. And then how do we solve the problem? For them, you have to understand a little how modern bathrooms work. For practical purposes, under every sink, sink and shower (also inside the toilet) there is a trap. It’s that ‘u’ shaped curve that holds a plug of water and blocks odor. What usually happens in summer is that these siphons dry out and stop working. In this way, odors rise to the rooms. So what is usually recommended is to let the water run well so that the siphons are full and, if necessary, add a little food oil (which makes a film on the water and makes it difficult to evaporate). If this doesn’t work, there may be a blockage or a ventilation problem, but it certainly won’t be solved by filling the toilet bowl with lemons.

Spain has standardized a small trick to avoid rear-end accidents. The DGT is not very satisfied

by

Emergency braking and emergency lights are words that, by pure common sense, we could understand that one always goes together with the other. So much so that not only in Spain have we assimilated that the way to act in a traffic jam is to activate them almost immediately, manufacturers have also been incorporating it into the latest models. However, the DGT through the General Traffic Regulations It continues to ask us to act in a slightly different way and that, directly, has become somewhat obsolete. better than the warning…with your hand? Rear-end accidents are one of the most common types of crashes on Spanish roads, especially now that summer is coming and trips are multiplying. Although there is no official data that segments this type of accident, claims and insurance experts estimate in 5% of total crashes those that occur by reach. These are usually accidents with low mortality rates but those who suffer them can be seriously injured. whiplash that usually causes problems over time if they do not heal well. Rear-end accidents are not usually a big problem in terms of mortality rates, but they can cause serious damage to our cars. And although without sufficient safety distance it is difficult to avoid them, drivers have assimilated a way of acting to reduce them. The most common thing in this type of situation in which we find a traffic jam in front of us is that we brake with a certain force and immediately the hand goes to the emergency button (a problem in cars where the emergency button warning is on the ceiling). That is, we activate the signal while braking. However, in the General Traffic Regulations, article 109 c) reads the following: “The intention to immobilize the vehicle or to brake its progress significantly, even when such events are imposed by traffic circumstances, must be warned, whenever possible, by repeatedly using the brake lights or by moving the arm alternately up and down with short and rapid movements.” And then it is pointed out that: When the immobilization takes place on a highway or highway, or in places or circumstances that significantly reduce visibility, the presence of the vehicle must be signaled by using the emergency light, if available, and, where appropriate, with the position lights. That is, according to the DGT we must issue warnings using the brake lights or by putting our hand out the window (less advisable if we have to make an unexpected dodging movement). And we will only turn on the emergency lights if we are immobilized. Colleagues explain Motorpassion that technically the DGT cannot fine us for using the emergency lights to signal a traffic jam before stopping and, in truth, it is difficult for us to think that a traffic officer would fine us for it in those circumstances. The wording made in the General Traffic Regulations is marked by the type of vehicle that was driven many years ago and it has no meaning since ABS (invented in 1978 by Mercedes and mandatory in every European car since 2004, although most already had it) is the norm. If a driver drives a car without ABS, the car will lock the wheels under heavy braking and it is easy to lose control. ABS prevents this from happening by relieving the brake pressure slightly even if we press it fully to allow the wheels to turn slightly and not lock. The only way to act emergency braking in a car without ABS is to do this same thing. You press the brake hard and then lift it very slightly and press it again. The action is repeated as many times as necessary, hence the wording of article 109 of the General Traffic Regulations. Since cars have this system, this way of acting is unnecessary and even dangerous because it will be the car that acts for us. But in addition, many of today’s cars already automatically activate the warning if we apply enough force on the brake pedal. This function is also deactivated if our intervention when the foot is lifted from the brake.

The trick against all logic of Ukrainian drones to hunt the fearsome Russian shahed

by

The first documented aerial shootdown in history, in 1914, was not won by the fastest plane, but by the one that knew how to position himself better and hold the exact moment to shoot. More than a century later, the drone war in Ukraine is rediscovering the same lesson: in the air, sometimes patience outweighs speed. The new hunt for the Shahed. we have been counting: the air war over Ukraine has entered into a new phase where defense no longer depends only on expensive anti-aircraft missiles, but on drones designed to hunt other drones. One of the most advanced examples It’s Stingdeveloped by the Ukrainian company Wild Hornetsan interceptor created specifically for take down the Russian Shahed that bomb cities and infrastructure every night. With more than 200 km per hour of speed, Sting represents a radical evolution with respect to conventional FPV drones: it is no longer about attacking trenches or armored vehicles, but rather intercepting aerial threats en route to their objective. The initial error. The engineers’ first intuition seemed obvious: to catch a fast drone they had to build something even faster. The first Sting prototypes They exceeded 250 km per houra figure much higher than that of the Russian Geran-2 and comparable to some jet variants. But the reality of combat dismantled that logic. The higher the speed, the less autonomy. The higher the speed, the less patrol time. And in a war where detecting and waiting is as important as striking, that became a tactical problem. The key: the other way around. Here appears the crux that changed everything. After combat testing and conversations with the Ukrainian military, Wild Hornets reformulated the concept: “Speed ​​is not the key. Time in the air is important,” They told Insider. The phrase summarizes a counterintuitive but fundamental lesson. To intercept a Shahed it is not enough to reach it, you must first find it, follow it, maneuver and have room to react. An interceptor that is too fast consumes energy, reduces its operational window and limits its flexibility. The result was a almost heretical decision in military engineering: make the slowest drone to do better. Slower, more useful. Reduce speed allowed gain more than 20 minutes of flight, increase mechanical reliability and simplify preparation for each mission. That transformed the Sting from a simple flying projectile into a real aerial hunting tool. It can operate at altitudes of up to 7,000 meters, although it performs better somewhat lower, and its cost (less $2,000 per unit) makes it an extremely cost-effective solution against Shaheds that cost tens of thousands and, above all, against much more expensive interceptor missiles. The war of mutual adaptation. But the battlefield does not stop. Russia too is modifying his Shahedincorporating cameras, improving maneuverability and making them more difficult to shoot down. Every Russian improvement forces a Ukrainian response, and every new version of Sting is born from that constant exchange. Wild Hornets now has developed variants with specific cameras for different light conditions and night operations, showing the extent to which this war is an accelerated evolutionary race. The pilot away from the front. The last great revolution It’s Hornet Visiona remote control technology that allows Sting to be piloted hundreds of kilometers from the launch point. This completely changes the defensive logic: the best operators can be far from the front, safe from Russian attacks, managing multiple interceptors at the same time. Instead of exposing pilots near impact zones, Ukraine begins to centralize talent and multiply efficiency. Air defense, in that sense, looks less and less like a system of batteries and radars and more like a distributed network of invisible hunters. The economy of the new war. Sting represents something deeper than just a drone. It is the demonstration that modern war rewards efficiency above sophistication. While a surface-to-air missile can cost millions to shoot down a cheap target, Ukraine is proving it can be fought saturation with saturationbut intelligently. The great discovery, therefore, has not been to build the fastest interceptor, but to understand that, sometimes, to win a chase, the most important thing is not to run further: it is hold on longer in the air.

The latest trick for AI companies to appear less artificial is to use classic fonts. It’s the arrival of ‘Tasteslop’

by

It has rained a lot since the Will Smith who had a hard time eating spaghetti and the AI videos we have nowwith the potential for us to swallow them if we don’t pay attention. More curious is that, not so long ago, AIs were useless when it came to representing letters in an image, but they have improved so much that they have even converted a specific font into something that denotes that a text has been made with AI: the serif font. And it is a huge problem. Suspicious typography. AI is in everything. In recent days, non-E3 has been held, the week in which different video game companies present their new products for the coming months, and many players were on the lookout. Many video game companies have found in AI a quick way out to speed up development (and fire employees along the way) and it seems that they are in a competition to see if they can sneak it in. Titles like the new ‘Stellar Blade 2’ or ‘1666 Amsterdam’ (with AI assets when they declare themselves as a “team of craftsmen”) are two examples. Others classify it as a “carcinogenic” technology. AI is in everything and, as they point out in this article from Wired, also in typography. The improvement of this technology when it comes to representing texts is so notable that AI companies are training them to use a specific typeface: certain varieties of sarif or sarifa (depending on the program you use to edit texts). In fact, writer and designer Keya Vadgama has noticed so many companies using the typeface that he has coined the term “the serif renaissance” to describe the phenomenon. Why sarif? This font is very interesting because it has “thanks” or “punchlines”. The serif fonts are some like Times, Georgia or Courier, while then there are the sans-serif fonts, which are the ones that would not have those endings. The endings are the decorations that copyists used to use in books and it is a warmer and more human source and, precisely, that is the key. Vagama explains that “it’s not that hard to guess why native AI companies are attracted to serif fonts.” According to his thesis, it is because AI is a cold technology, soulless and incapable of creating, but a font with those endings in the letters brings that soulless creation of AI closer to the warmth of human calligraphy. “It connotes a very human and fluid way of making letter shapes,” notes Vadgama. ‘Tasteslop‘. And since everything on the Internet must have a name, this trend has been framed within a term that already existed and in which it fits perfectly: ‘tasteslop‘. What that means is that it’s something with that aesthetic that wants to look sophisticated and curated, but is actually a collage of superficial design decisions that are simply guided by templates and generative models, not by deeper criteria. Visually it is curated, it is powerful, it is elegant, but the problem is that it is still a machine posing as a human. It is replicable with a prompt. And we are talking about simple text, yes, but also about an intention that shows that, in the world of marketing, there is no stitch without a thread and the objective is to leave the cold sans-serif typography aside to opt for a more human and warm one that, subconsciously, causes us less rejection. The answer. Claude, Manus, Runway or Perplexity, among others, use serif typography and, after asking, Wired received a response from a Perplexity representative who pointed out that why wouldn’t they have a human design… if Perplexity is for people. The curious case of Anthropic. The logo is sans-serif, it has sans-serif fonts, but also serif Implications for the designer. If AI is already taking this space (too) to simulate that it is not a machine, but something created by a human, now is the time for designers (again) to have to move to find a new space. We are already seeing that, if someone creates an image and it is very perfect, there are comments on networks like “that’s AI.” Or the more ‘Bro’ version of “hey Grok, is that AI?” And it is a problem because artists and designers are seeing how a technology that has plundered their work is imitating them perfectly in many aspects. As models absorb that serif font boom and AI learns from AI and its aesthetics, humans will be the ones who have to adapt to find a new visual code that indicates that there is craftsmanship there. It is to carry the battlefield art/prompt to fonts, something that would seem absurd until not long ago, but we are already seeing that it is giving something to talk about. Especially when the AI ​​is already asked to make images with text that appear human in aesthetics and less tech. I wish they used Comic Sans. The identification problem. In the background there is something much more serious: how we separate the wheat from the chaff, the slop from the artisanal. Trying to achieve enough perfection to confuse us is something we are constantly seeing in AIs. In the generation of images, fingers and letters were the clues we had left to know if something was human or not, but they are overcoming the limitations by leaps and bounds. The United States Department of State, for example, went from a sans-serif font to a Times New Roman with those serifs in the letters, and there are already those who have raised an eyebrow. Are communications made in images with AI? Well, it is not known, but this adds another complication: separating what is made with AI and what is not. In this image, if we draw a line from a point in the figure to the same point reflected in the mirror, we see that the lines do not converge at a single point either. We will have to study a degree … Read more

the trick to find the best pack and what to do if it doesn’t appear

by

We are going to tell you a trick to be able to see the entire 2026 World Cup in the cheapest way possible. And we are going to explain it to you clearly and without deceiving you, because although it is about paying a pack of 7.99 euros, then you have to activate an additional pack. In short, we are going to guide you so that ALL the matches of the ENTIRE World Cup they cost you 56 euros. It is expensive, but it is the cheapest offer you will find. Of course, it is a trick that you have to pay attention to, because If you make a mistake you can end up paying an additional 28 euros for not canceling it on time. Where can you watch the world cup? As we have explained to you when we told you where you can watch the 2026 World Cupyou could see that you basically only have four alternatives to watch the championship. On RTVE you will only be able to see part of the matches, although all of the Spanish National Team matches are included. But if you want to see them all, you will have to go to Movistar Plus+ with its football or Orange packages. These two payment alternatives are very expensive, and require either extra packages or phone rates with them… or even both. The fourth alternative is DAZN, a service that you can contract without belonging to any operator. But this service has several plans, and here comes the mess where you have to clarify.
