There is an unexpected victim of the rise in RAM memory prices: the very modern connected cars

by

Which what’s happening with the RAM memories is making one thing clear: the best time to buy memory modules is yesterday. The price increase is so extraordinary which is already affecting other classic components of our PCs such as SSD units or graphics cards. However, the crisis that these components are generating goes further. Much further. Data centers devour memory. The AI ​​fever, we already know very well, has generated a voracious hunger not only for cutting-edge AI chips, but also for RAM and HBM memories that accompany these chips. As indicated in The Wall Street Journaldata centers (both conventional and those dedicated to AI) will consume more than 70% of the high-end memory chips that manufacturers produce in 2026. And if they could take more, they would take them. This is not (only) about PCs or mobiles. It is evident that the first affected by this problem are conventional desktop and laptop computers, as well as our mobile devices. Hundreds of millions of them are sold every year and they all have a certain amount of RAM that is now more expensive than ever. The shock wave is already causing other components such as SSD drives or graphics cards affected, but in reality memory chips are everywhere. And above all, in one. From TV to car. The frenetic rise in memory prices is certainly going to affect other segments that we had not thought about soon. Of course it will do so on other consumer electronic devices, and this certainly includes Smart TVs, which They have their own processor, memory and storage to offer us its functions. But the problem may be even more critical for cars, which for years were already computers with wheels and which are now even better and more powerful computers (and with more memory) with wheels. Memories of all kinds. Although car electronic systems have traditionally used RAM, the latest in most cases was not needed. But that was in the cars of a few years ago, because the arrival especially of the electric car and the fever for screens in our vehicles has made these needs different. Now our cars need various types of memory, but in some cases those modules are as good (or better) than the ones we have in our cell phones and computers. The ECUs. A modern car makes use of so-called ECUs (Electronic Control Units) for issues such as controlling the transmission, the airbag system or the engine itself. It is normal for them to have between 50 and 150 of these control units or microcontrollers, and almost all of them contain RAM for temporary data and a ROM for firmware and software. Infotainment systems. The most obvious component that surely comes to mind as that “car computer” is the infotainment system, which usually consists of a touch screen, navigation functions, support for CarPlay and Android Auto systems, and voice assistants. Although in many cars these systems use 1 GB or 2 GB of DRAM memory, there are more modern cars that They reach 4 GB and even 8 GB of LPDDR4 memory. And if we talk about some manufacturers like BYD or NIO, there are models in which They use 16 GB of LPDDR5 memory. The Ford SYNC 5 system, for example, is based on a Qualcomm SoC with 16 GB of RAM. Driving assistance requires memory. In addition to these components, there are others that also require the use of RAM. Advanced driving assistance systems (ADAS) allow you to activate functions such as adaptive cruise control, lane keep assist, automatic emergency braking or parking assistant. And to achieve this they use RAM with high bandwidth, which allows working with real-time images and processing of sensor signals. Samsung knows this well and in fact manufactures modules specifically oriented to this market. Tesla’s well-known autopilot hardware, Hardware 4 (currently used) makes use of 16 GB of RAMFor example. Micron already warned. In December 2023 Micron already indicated that “a car needs more memory than a (space) rocket.” The firm, an absolute protagonist in the field of RAM memory module manufacturing, indicated how in 2023 the average vehicle used 90 GB between RAM and NAND, but in 2026 that figure was estimated to be 278 GB and would reach 2 TB in high-end vehicles. That was good news for it and other manufacturers, and even then it pointed to how “generative AI is transforming automotive.” What they probably didn’t realize is that this revolution was going to need many data centers, and those data centers were going to need a lot of memory. And this is where we are. In Xataka | “Not a phone, it’s a car”: Volkswagen believes that screens in cars are going too far

When Disney canceled Kimmel for comments about Trump, the greatest victim was another: his streaming service

by

Last week was frantic to Jimmy Kimmel: In just a few days, a joke about the Charlie Kirk murder He caused his dismissal, generated protests throughout the country and returned to the program. And, apparently unrelated, Disney raised prices of its streaming platform. Everything was connected in a process that may have cost the company more than she expected. What happened. Although reality bifurcó in multiple ways, summarizing, Late Night’s presenter Jimmy Kimmel was suspended on September 17 by Disney after jokes about the murder of Charlie Kirk in which accused the government of instrumentalizing his death. The dismissal generated immediate criticisms for alleged political censorship under pressure from the Trump administration and the Federal Communications Commission of the United States after the suspension were the pressures of the latter to companies that were waiting for the granting of permits for mergers. Kimmel returned on September 23after they accentuated The protests that accused the government of pressing private entities against political enemies. How much it cost Disney. The Boicot public ads by stars and Influencers They did Bag to Bag to Disneywith a cost of about 5,000 million dollars in stock value. The casualties were estimated around a million, but journalist Marisa Kabas has obtained more precise informationwhich has echoed media such as discussing film or engadget: they became 1.7 million subscribers who canceled their service between September 17 and 23, 436% above the usual cancellation rate. But the thing had to get worse, because Disney was about to make an unexpected ad. A climb. Kabas herself also advanced Monday night to the official announcement: Disney was about to announce an increase in prices of her services of streamingand possible, that could have accelerated the decision of ABC (property of Disney) to return the program to Kimmel. They are ups between two and three dollars for the different Disney+ and Hulu packages, and obviously, it was planned long before the death of Charlie Kirk: the avalanche of cancellations due to the problem with Kimmel was only an addition to those that the company would already foresee when announcing the increases. Too much for a single company, which has rushed to return the presenter as an emergency measure. The question is … why didn’t they delay the announcement of the climbs? Throw forward. There is talk of several possible reasons to, despite the image crisis, continue with the ads, most of the Disney category as a great corporation with hardly any waist to quickly react to these viral phenomena. On the one hand, Disney traditionally announces this type of increase in Octoberwith the beginning of his new fiscal year. This calendar has been respecting for years, it is a rigid program that does not fit for image crisis. On the other hand, it was possibly notified of clients and interested parties, without contemplating postponements. Finally, there is the most important thing: it is a calculated risk, and Disney needs money. Despite the cancellations, the company decided to maintain the increase in the hope of stabilizing income. In addition, he avoided setting a dangerous precedent, to give in external pressures. Disney, Annus horribilis. It is not being a good year for Disney’s finances. Kimmel is only the last disaster (and all the fall remains) of a 2025 that started with a couple of powerful cinematographic failures: ‘Captain America: Brave New World’with lower performance than expected, and ‘Snow White‘, A critical and box office puncture that has even led to rethinking the future of some remakes of real image classics. Neither ‘Thunderbolts‘He has won the expected. And Pixar and Star Wars, the other powerful franchises of the house, go through a popular pothole. Of course, not everything has been disasters: ‘Lilo & Stitch‘It has been one of the box office pumps of the year and a good 2026 is expected, with the new deliveries of’Avatar‘(which arrives in December this year) and’Avengers‘(already for December that comes).

China is drowning rare earth supply and in six weeks there will be a victim: European electric cars

by

China has completely stopped The export of rare criticisms. In fact, during the last year and a half this Asian country has used its dominance over rare earths as A pressure tool on your rivals. On December 21, 2023, the administration led by Xi Jinping decided to restrict the export of some of its rare earth processing technologies, and this was only the tip of the iceberg. The last kick linked to these important metals was given by China to the US on April 4. Just 24 hours after Donald Trump announced the taxes that he was going to apply to the importation of most products from abroad, the administration led by Xi Jinping replied. And he did it with forcefulness. In early December 2024 He chose to prohibit The export of some critical minerals to the US, among which were three essential metals: gallium, Germanio and antimony. The European electric car can suffer if China continues with the hand brake This story does not end here. At the beginning of last April the Chinese government added two more critical metals to its list of export restrictions: Scandio and Disposio. These chemical elements are probably less known than metals prohibited by China previously, such as Gallium or Germanio, but are at least as important as the latter because they have a fundamental role in the industries of integrated circuits, telecommunications and the manufacture of storage devices. And just two weeks later, in mid -April, the administration led by Xi Jinping did not hesitate to take another step forward with the purpose of putting in check, in addition to the industries that I just mentioned, those of electric cars, aeronautics and advanced armament. And is that, according to The New York Times, has effectively suspendedin addition to the export of the most valuable rare earths, that of the elements involved in the manufacture of high -power magnets that have a critical role in the industries that I have cited in this same paragraph. Chinese authorities are taking the high -power magnets acquired by electric cars manufacturers throughout the country Chinese authorities are retaining in ports throughout the country not only rare earths, but also high -power magnets acquired by electric cars manufacturers throughout the planet, aerospace companies, chip factories and armament companies. Many of these organizations have high -power magnet reserves made with rare earths, but possibly only allow them to subsist a few months. For many years China has produced More than 90% of rare earths. Australia, Vietnam, Myanmar, Canada, Brazil, Tanzania or the US, among other countries, also produce these metals, but the largest deposits located so far of these elements reside in China. And, curiously, the country led by Xi Jinping too The processing industry dominates to which it is necessary to submit rare earth so that they can be used. So much so that its quota if we stick to the global processing industry amounts to 90%. China’s export controls are directed mainly to the US, but Europe is not unscathed. At least for the moment. In fact, in Germany, which as we all know is the heart of the European car industry, There are already experts who assure that if China continues to retain rare earths and electric motors some essential parts of the electric cars production chain They will stop in no more than six weeks. For the European car industry this blow would be very difficult to fit. However, while still having some reservations Europe has the opportunity to negotiate with China to avoid this very difficult situation. Everything is not lost yet.

The tariff war is causing Chinese consumers to buy Chinese brands. And the first victim is Apple

by

A nationalist wind travels Electronics stores in China and is affecting foreign brand mobile sales. In March, foreign mobile distributions were reduced to almost half of one year to another, according to the China Academy of Information and Communications Technology (CAICT) cited by Reuters. This contraction has relegated Apple to fifth position in the Chinese market, with a 14.1 % share. Less than two years ago he was leader. Meanwhile, national manufacturers – vivo, oppo, xiaomi and, Above all, Huawei– They continue to register double digit growth, gaining ground both in the mid -range segment. Samsung’s decline, in perspective Samsung controlled almost 20% of the Chinese market in 2013a figure similar to its global participation. By 2023, that quota had fallen to 0.8%. This collapse was gradual but unstoppable: the South Korean brand went from being a dominant contender to an almost testimonial presence. Apple has resisted better than Samsung, but The decline is undeniable. Its distributions in China maintain a 14.1 % share in the first quarter of this year, which places it in fifth place behind the four large stores. To try to stop the trend He started offering discounts on the iPhone before serving one year in storesomething suspiciously unusual in its commercial policy. Little has to do with China’s ranking … … with the global: Especially in their kings. The phenomenon goes beyond technical characteristics or price. It is rooted in the change in consumption habits of Chinese citizens, increasingly inclined to support their own. Since 2022, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) proposed a subsidy program for terminals below 6,000 yuan (about 830 euros), structurally favoring local manufacturers, who handle prices just below that barrier. To this is added the impact of the commercial war with the United States. Tariffs imposed by Trump and Technological War They have reinforced nationalist bias: The consumer perceives the foreign product as less desirable. A similar case occurred with Samsung after The deployment of the Thaad antimisile system In South Korea in 2015. Then, the Anticorean feeling triggered the rejection of its products in China. Now try to return to the Chinese market with His galaxy c (The ‘C’ is for ‘China’), but it seems a complicated return. Huawei, with his turn towards self -sufficiency and not only towards competition against the rest, is a perfect example of the materialization of Xi Jinping’s technological doctrine. Huawei resurfaced from the ashes of US sanctions, not only recovering market share but Building its parallel ecosystem. Apple and Samsung, the two world leaders of mobile telephony, have a problem of difficult solution in China. It is not only to scratch market share, but to articulate a credible value proposal in an environment where the foreign brand condition is, today, competitive disadvantage. Its price strategy, alliances with operators and product adaptation will be key to a possible reconquest.

The United States seems determined to break its monopolies. And he has an obvious victim between eyebrow and eyebrow: Google

by

The judicial and regulatory offensive of the United States against Google marks a new turning point between that country and its great technological ones. The Department of Justice not only seeks symbolic measures, and here it seeks to reconfigure the rules of the game, turning Google into its main objective and an example for the rest of the sector. The vicious circle of Google. As they point out in The Verge, David Dahlquist, a lawyer of the DOJ, showed in his presentation of the facts how Google benefited from his “vicious circle.” Pay billions of dollars to be the default search engine on virtually everywhere. That leads her to receive more search requests, to have more data, to improve their results, to earn more money and in the end allow to pay more money to further increase that privilege position. Threats for Google. For the DOJ that is a nightmare, and in the antitrust trial against Google it will be seen whether or not these arguments have consequences for the company. At the moment the government is asking for three important things that could impact Radically on the Google business. No agreements to place Google by default. The first request of the DOJ is to prevent Google from reaching those agreements to place its search engine as a default option. The clear example of those agreements is the one with Apple, which it supposedly pays of the order of 20,000 million dollars a year so that all iPhone, iPad or Mac have it as a default search engine in Safari. That would turn Apple into a collateral victim of this case of monopoly. Sell ​​Chrome. It is also considered to force Google to get rid of its browser, Chrome, and sell it. According to Dahlquist, this application represents 35% of search requests and has 4,000 million estimated users. Google states that it is not a business in itself, but to put on sale, it would be a clear objective for other companies. OpenAi has already shown his interestfor example, and It hasn’t been the only. The Duckdugogo responsible assure that Chrome’s value It could be around The 50,000 million dollars. Bachelor data. The third and final request is especially delicate: it would force Google to license all your search data, from its search index to its results. That would allow anyone to use them to “build their own search engine”, a kind of Google fork. One of Google’s lawyers, John Schmidtlein, explained that this would allow anyone to “cut and paste Google search results and show them as if they were yours.” This lawyer also warned that this could also affect the privacy and safety of users. Yield years. That would mean that Google would have to give up (putting on sale) that data, which can be seen as something unfair: they have a quarter of a century tracking and organizing the web information, and now they have to license that work? That would open the doors to a brutal competition with companies that could take advantage of all that filtered knowledge by paying for it. Historical Framework. Although the European Union has been the traditional Némesis of the Big Tech Tech, the United States has also closely watched its large companies. Dismantled The standard oil in 1911 and tried to do the same with Microsoft Two decades ago. Elizabeth Warren, senator who was Presidential candidate In 2020, it has been advocating by Break in pieces to the great American technology companies and made that in part of their presidential campaign. He made an explicit reference to Amazon, Google and Facebook. The courts, parapet of the pressures. While in the regulatory or legislative areas, the lobby – corporate pressure groups – of the Big Tech can exert their influence more clearly, the thing changes in the judicial field, less permeable to these pressures. In the case of Google, the DOJ even proposes the creation of a technical committee that supervises the fulfillment of the decisions it makes, which would further limit the company’s ability to overcome the restrictions.

The commercial war between the United States and China is having an unexpected victim: Christmas trees

by

At the doors of Holy Week and with half a pending country, in Spain almost no one (Neither Abel Caballero) Think of Christmas. In China The thing is different. There the factories that are dedicated to manufacturing the ornaments and trees that decorate the US households every December should be receiving orders that do not just arrive. And in the industry there are little doubt what the reason is: the Commercial War raised 145% (If you take into account 20% applied by the export of fentanyl precursors) the rates to Chinese imports. What is less clear is … What will happen at Christmas? Where are the orders? That is the question that Chinese companies are being asked that are dedicated to manufacturing Christmas ornaments and trees. Yes, we are still in early April; but under normal conditions they should be receiving orders from their US clients. And it is not so. The news The Reuters agency advanced yesterday, which has spoken with the administrator of a Jinhua Christmas tree factory that has even seen how one of its partners on the other side of the Pacific suspended an order worth $ 400,000. And that the Chinese company has already invested $ 54,000 in materials. His great fear is now that the commission is annulled. “No request”. Jinhua is not an isolated case. Nor unique. Reuters He has spoken with other Chinese Christmas manufacturers that point in a similar direction. “We are concerned that US orders decrease,” explains the owner of another factory dedicated to Shaoxing Christmas decoration. The person responsible for a third company admits that at least the situation breaks with the experience of past years. “In mid -April all orders are usually finished, but now … it is difficult to know if any will come,” The manager tells from Jinhua. So far they have not registered “any request” from the US. And what is the cause? For China manufacturers there are few doubts. Or none. If 2025 is being an anomalous exercise for them is basically The commercial war unleashed on the other side of the ocean and that has been climbing. “Of course it is the tariffs,” assumes one of the entrepreneurs in the sector. After all, the tariff war may have intensified over the last days, after The act starring Trump in the Rosaleda de la Casa White with his already famous tariff table by countries and regions; But the word tariff (the favorite of the Republican) has been grabbing headlines for months. And one of the countries that He has always been In the focus is China, as was already happening in His first mandate. A figure: 145%. The result is that in the middle of April the Trump policy and the resurgence of the commercial war between Beijing and Washington (which has resulted in a mutual exchange of attacks and counterattacks tariffs) threatens to have an unexpected victim: Christmas. For now, Chinese merchandise to the US faces a tariff rise in the 125%percentage to which another 20% applied by the commercialization of fentanyl precursors. If we talk about Christmas ornament, USA and China maintain a more than prominent relationship. According to Reuters calculations 87% of the supply of American retailers dedicated to Christmas decoration comes from the factories of the Asian giant, which in turn half of their production to the US. “My colleagues and I depend on American orders to survive,” assumes Jessica Guo, administrator of a Christmas tree factory. Christmas decoration (and something else). At stake there is more than the Christmas ornament or that the US halls have more or less garlands, foams and artificial trees this year. That the sector goes well or badly translates into employment. And in millions of dollars. Two data arrives to get an idea. The merchandise acquired by American retailers in China reaches a value of 4,000 million of dollars. As for employment, only in Jinhua there is a factory of artificial trees of almost 11,000 m2 that normally uses 140 people, a template that can be elevated to 200 employees during the months of greater activity. Except for surprise, everything indicates that in 2025 it will not be necessary. Is there alternative? That is the other big question. And twice. Does China have an alternative market with which to compensate in a puncture of the American demand? And do the US companies have to the Asian giant to stock up on figurines and trees with lights? None will have it easy. In China, domestic demand for Christmas decoration is low and there are already businesses thinking about strengthening their efforts in Russia, Europe or Southeast Asia, which are an important part of the sales cake. Yet, days ago A local businessman shared with Reuters his “concern.” The situation in the US. The US can also look at other suppliers, but without getting rid of the elongated shadow of tariffs. Another country with some weight in the production of Christmas ornaments is Cambod 49% to imports from that country. From the sector they also question that manufacturing ends up moving to the US, as the Republican leader aspires. “There is no technology or labor market,” They recognize To the agency. Result: Ten months seen worries since those who want to decorate their houses face a price increase.

Tariffs are already being charged to their first great victim of the global economy: the price of oil

by

In this tariff war, China He has decided to get back to the United States with tariffs of 84% to all imports. A blunt response of the Asian giant, which has charged its first victim by crossfire: oil. Price drop. The price of barrels is below Los 60 dollars and going down. As He explained Energy expert Javier Blas, the oil market is going through a perfect storm: on the one hand, the fall in global demand as a direct consequence of the tariff war, and on the other hand, The answer a few days ago of the OPEC+ to continue producing more, which causes the offer to continue increasing. If this situation extends, it could evolve towards a real supply shock affecting two giants. The matter is more complex. OPEC+ decided to increase its oil production despite the fall in prices due to tariffs and concerns of a global economic slowdown. The organization I was looking to recover the market share I had lost due to the previous cuts. In addition, the growing production of non -member countries and Failurers of the rules to raise the offer. It will be very expensive. In all this situation, Saudi Arabia is one of the affected giants because in its recent projects it is diversifying its economy with the initiative, Vision 2030. It is betting on an economic model that is disconnected from oil, but It is still your currency To continue financing their mega -structures, such as Neom. As have indicated from Reutersthe fall in prices threatens to cut tens of billions of state dollars, as is already being seen in the stock market of the state oil company, Saudi Aramco. The impact is capital, since Riad can be forced to increase his indebtedness or postpone large infrastructure projects. In fact, according to the same news agency, the International Monetary Fund has estimated that Saudi Arabia needs prices greater than $ 90 per barrel to square its accounts. The other giant. The fall in prices takes with him another great economy ahead: Russia. As He has warned for Reutersthe governor of the Central Bank, Elvira Nabiullina, that the escalation of tariff wars represents a clear risk for Russia due to the fall in crude oil prices. In his words, the continuity of the commercial conflict reduces global trade, slows down the world economy and, consequently, decreases the demand for Russian energy resources. In fact, with the current situation of war, the dependence of Moscow of oil and gas is key, but the data is showing how in March 17% fell and it is expected that in April it will continue to descend. From Moscow. Kremlin spokesman Dmitri Peskov has acknowledged that the oil market is going through an “extremely turbulent” situation, derived from commercial tension caused by the United States. Meanwhile, the price of raw Urals, the Russian referent barrel, is dangerously approaching to the threshold of 50 dollars By barrel, the lowest level in almost two years. As Oilprice has had accessRussian authorities have indicated that a technical fiscal rule will help mitigate the effects on the budget, but oil prices are in free fall. Forecasts. The price of oil can continue down with all the situation that is being experienced: wars, sanctions and territorial instability. All this affects perception Investor risk and without a clear OPEC+ response the price falls without brakes.

Malaga risks being a victim of his own tourist success. So your City Council already warns: it is reaching the limit

by

There are times when one figure says more than a thousand words, and in the case of Malaga tourism it seems to be fulfilled: last summer the hotels of the city welcomed some 418,000 travelerswell above 132,700 scored during the same months of 2005. And that is only what the INE records in its Hotel survey. What does that boom suppose for the municipality? Recently (in A report not thought to transcend the media) the City Council valued it with words of an unusual rotundity. He even suggests his concern. Black on white. Thus, frankly and without hairs on the tongue, it is how the City of Malaga has pronounced on the city’s tourist boom in A report Posted a few weeks ago. It is not frequent that this kind of documents, technical, usually arid and that they are part of the ‘internal cuisine’ of the local bureaucracy, become news. If he has done it, it is because of his tone. Malaga, “saturated”. That tourism has reached such a level of massification in Malaga that it begins to generate tensions is no novelty. In summer thousands of neighbors They went out To protest the saturation of the city, a problem that has aroused interest of the foreign press and Boarding the debate political. What is not as usual is that the Consistory exposes a scenario as stark as the Technical Report which he elaborated at the end of 2024. In it the local administration admits That Malaga “is experiencing unprecedented tourist saturation levels”, especially in the historic center, and warns: “This phenomenon causes certain areas to exceed its load capacity, negatively affecting both residents and visitors.” As if that were not enough, the document recalls that the massification of certain specific areas “congestion”, reduces the quality of life of residents and visitors themselves and affects the local economy. The other tourism invoice. “Tourism pressure can cause the expulsion of native business and added value, being replaced by souvenir stores and other shops oriented exclusively to tourists,” Add the text. “The increase in tourists promotes the appearance of illegal or low quality accommodations, affecting both the safety of visitors and the image of the city.” The document is included in The documentation of a public tender with which the City Council seeks precisely to “de -stationalize” the tourism of Malaga. And since it was signed, at the end of November 2024, it has caught the attention of both Andalusian media as of rest of Spain. Such has been its scope that the mayor of the city, Francisco de la Torre (PP), has had to clarify its content. Saturated, but only sometimes. A few days ago the councilor wanted to remove iron from the document from his own City Council clarifying that, In his opiniontourist saturation is just a specific problem, of “certain moments and days.” “Perhaps we must specify at certain times because it is not a permanent issue,” he says about the tower before remembering that the town hall already works to create “new centralities” in Malaga. In fact one of the targets of the tender that has unleashed the controversy seeks precisely that: activate alternative routes tourist that help Distribute the load of visitors, venting the center. Why is it important? For several reasons. The first is that there is an alarming idea that flies The report: The possibility that Malaga dies of tourist success. And Spain has already proven that this is not so difficult. Recently one of the most popular travel guides among the Angloplants He advised Its users visit Mallorca, Barcelona and the Canary Islands in 2025 precisely because of their massification. In the Malaga document, it is warned that saturation harms the locals, but also visitors, and can degrade “the experience” they have in the city. New yes, new no. Another reason is that the municipal report does nothing but confirm a problem, that of the Touristthat in Malaga has already generated several neighborhood protests, more expensive housing and obliged to the mayor a move token While the opposition claims a Hard response. In fact, the report that the Consistory has just published is not the first to warn of the risks of massification. In 2005 the OMAU Observatory already prevented “tensions” that could derive from “numerous tourist visits.” Since then the flow of travelers He has shot.
