Kojima’s ‘Od’ trailer not only reveals the most scary video game in years. It also brings back to its competitors

by

As an elephant in a potter has broken into the conversation the trailer of the new video game of Hideo Kojima. Visually overwhelming, it also promises a considerable ration. And yet, that is not the most striking of the trailer, but also functions as a conglomerate of messages between lines directly directed for competitors and former partners. This kojima never gives stitch. What is seen. Some unknown knocks on a door (the ‘Knock’ of the full title of the game: ‘OD: Knock’) and slide inside a house a card in which the fires are requested “(or the candles). Then, in the first person, inside a seemingly empty house, some trembling female hands light with matches the candles of an altar with some sinister candles (a baby head that melts expelling a liquid that looks like blood, while a large number of worms leave a jar close to the altar). Behind the person who is before the altar, someone or something insistently calls for the door of the room. The hands belong to a terrified Sophia Lillis, who feels behind her a threatening presence, who ends up opening the door, entering the room and surrounding her with giant hands. Impressive realism. Animations are, as always happens with Kojima’s kinematics, spectacular. To the point that in a first viewing, until our hands do not appear it is not clear that we are in a digital environment. All thanks to the Metahuman technology that uses Unreal Engine 5. A demonstration of technical muscle that, however, retroaches us a decade ago in time. Vietnam flashbacks. Specifically, from ‘The PT‘, an enigmatic Kojima game for Konami that was born as a new’ Silent Hill ‘and that remained in a mere technical demo, today impossible to find by legal roads, and that many consider that it is one of the most scary video games of all time. In this new ‘OD: Knock’ there are obvious winks to that ‘The PT’ from the same title with acronym, the temporary reference to a decade ago, some of the setting (the house as a framework for fear, without open spaces) and even the participation of a filmmaker in the project (there Guillermo del Toro, here Jordan Pele). It could be said that the output of ‘OD’ now, when ten years are turned out that Kojima left pears with Konami, is a perverse anniversary celebration. Especially now that the Japanese company … takes out the new ‘Silent Hill F’ this week. It seems almost a late revenge, with Kojima monopolizing some of the attention that Konami’s game was going to have this week. For you, screaming. But there is more. This game will be exclusive to Xbox, at least temporarily and there some sneer is detected with the farewell of the video, “For All Players and Screamers”. Winking to the popular PlayStation slogan “for the players” (“For you, players” in Spanish translation)? Of course, if it becomes an absolute exclusive Xbox, it will be a good Microsoft zambombazo, although seeing its recent policy of Turn everything into multiplatformit does not seem likely. But there is the recoven. Ten years of Kojima Productions. The producer of Kohima is celebrating in style her tenth anniversary with a ristra of advertisements and news in the event ‘Beyond the Strand’. It has been seen live hereand in addition to the shocking trailer of OD, we have seen Details about the A24 adaptation of ‘Death Stranding’the animated film ‘Death Stranding Mosquito‘, from which we have seen a teaser, the new stealth game’ Physint ‘, and the announcement of a collaboration with Niantic Spatial also linked to Death Stranding. In Xataka | Kojima locks himself again in his bubble with ‘Death Stranding 2’. The result is a work as strange as necessary

‘Borderlands 4’ has been the great launch of September. Also an example of what is wrong in the current video game

by

The last quarter of the year is not just a IMPORTANT MOMENT IN TECHNOLOGY: In the video game market, it also represents a crucial moment. Titles like ‘Ghost of Yotei‘ either ‘Metroid 4‘They will come out over the next few months, but the one that has just arrived is one of the bombings of the last layers of 2025:’ Borderlands 4 ‘. The analysis reflects that it is a hilarious gamebut also something that players are not missing: it is the example of what is wrong in the current megap production industry. And in this story the director of the game is being considered as the villain when we should look beyond: to technology and optimization. We are going to review. The situation. ‘Borderlands 4’ was launched last week and the reception by the players was good. It is a continuous, really fun title that, in addition, looks spectacular thanks to the artistic style so characteristic and that the engine Unreal Engine 5 (Stay with this name) Allows you to offer. The Steam review system is quite broken, but it is a thermometer of both the quality of the players and, at first, the reactions were mostly positive. All that has changed to ‘varied’, which implies that there is more bad than good. The problem is not the game itself: even those who put a bad review admit that it is a ‘borderlands’ and is hilarious. Here the problem is optimization of the game, especially on PC. Players complain that specs Minimum and recommended offered by developers -Gearbox- do not add up to the experience they are having with teams that reach those specifications or that exceed them. A negative A positive, but also talking about performance Randy Pitchford. It is the name of the director of Gearbox and one of the heads after the success of ‘Borderlands’. Also One of the most controversial characters of the industry due both to your actions as to his most recent statements about the price of video games with that “True fans will find a way to pay them”. It is a guy who does not usually go unnoticed and that uses his social networks to ‘chop’ with any user, and with the wave of criticism of his game, he has not lost the opportunity to get into a couple of gardens. There are countless encounters these days between Randy and users and the problem is that he is doing it from Twitter X. This direct communication between managers and public is a fixed double weapon because it gives the sensation of closeness, but for somewhat large companies have communication teams: so that what is happening does not happen. If we take a look at some Steam reviews, many are reflecting the discontent with the game for those words of Randy. Among the messages of the manager, have Those who encourage a refund to ask if you do not agree with the performance (something that, after two hours plays cannot be done), to “accept the reality of the relationship between the hardware of your PC and the software they want to reproduce”, “”program your own engine and we will be your customers ”and another Comments series that a good part of the community has been taken as a “Randy is calling us poor to those who do not have a RTX 5090” The reaction. And what, unfortunately, happens so much in the world of video games: people who pass from the line. A sample is the following message that Pitchford himself shared In X after receiving it by mail: “You are a damn idiot. If you think that the” Premium “games exist or that there are” premium “players, you are a damn delayed. You are the closest that a white man can become a ‘n -r’ -a racial insult, basically. This type of messages, more own ‘Gamergaters’ than from someone civilized, is a sad reality in certain forums and Randy himself commented that he had “caused harm.” And there are already developers who have shown support to the CEO of Gearbox for the situation. Another one with Unreal Engine 5. Seen all this context, we go with what directly affects the game: the engine on which it is developed. When Unreal Engine 5 was presented, the latest version of the Epic Games engine, We all stay with our mouths open. The demo in PS5 It was impressive and promised a lot. The problem is when the games began to arrive. That a game uses Unreal Engine 5 usually involves bulky requirements to make it work, mediocre yields –even in consoles– In many cases and a series of failures that prevent players from enjoying it as a launch as they should. And it is a problem because the engine greatly facilitates the development of video games, so he is tempting for studies, but there are already those who, when he sees the EU5 logo, starts to tremble for how the title will work on his machine. Balls out. It has passed with more recent examples, such as’Metal Gear Solid Delta‘, or the remake of’The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion‘, and Tim Sweeney, CEO of Epic Games, He swept home A few weeks ago, stating that the engine is good, but that studies should start with optimization tasks at an earlier phase of development, and not crossing the task just at the end. The big background problem. As much as it is, and Returning to ‘Borderlands 4’, it is evident that there is a problem. Digital Foundry is an expert medium in the technical analysis of video games, the performance being one of the parameters that measure. From the middle they affirm that there are decisions that do not understand, such as limiting cinematics in real time to 30 fps, the overload that seems to occur when there are many enemies on the screen, the ‘level of detail’, or Lod ‘so aggressive or the pop-in that occurs walking around the world. And that on the … Read more

Video games have fired their number of users, and come from an unsuspected place: television series

by

The video game adaptations have long left behind the “impossible” sambenito. Criticism and public successes such as recent television series’The Last of Us‘ either ‘Fallout‘They have proven that the episodic format fits especially well with the long plot developments of the games and with their very wide characters. But there is more: a recent study shows that not only those series are successful because they attract the players. The flow also works in reverse. More spectators. According to A recent study by Ampere Analysisscreen adaptations drive the growth of the number of players by 140% on average. Among these adaptations, the average increase achieved by television series is up to 203%, much higher than films (48%). Among the former we can find such outstanding series as’Arcane‘,’ The Last of Us ‘,’The Witcher‘,’ Fallout ‘,’ Knuckles’, ‘Cyberpunk: Edgerunners‘,’ Conserje Pokémon ‘or’ Halo ‘. Among the movies, ‘A Minecraft movie‘,’Sonic The Hedgehog‘,’Super Mario Bros. the film‘,’Uncharted‘,’ Mortal Kombat ‘or’ Detective Pikachu ‘. To the bunker. For example, the premiere of the “Fallout” series in Prime Video in April 2024 caused a 490% increase in monthly active users (UAM) playing the franchise: 80% of the 14 million active players were new. In contrast, additional content launches for ‘Fallout 76’ previously achieved only 17% increase in UAM. It is a phenomenon that had already been detected since the same premiere of the series, when the 2015 Búnkeres construction and management game ‘Fallout Shelter’ received an unusual impulse Almost a decade after birth, going from giving benefits of about $ 20,000 a day to enter $ 80,000 a day, thus increasing their benefits by 232%. The last ones will be the first. There is a more particular case, because it adapts a narrative game, closed, without online and that had been acclaimed by criticism and public a few years before, calling the attention of non -hardcore public, that is, that the middle fan had more than known. ‘The Last of Us “experienced a 150% rise in its players base: an absolutely spectacular figure if we take into account that the series does not” complement “or expands what is seen in the games, but tells it again. Without a doubt, it is a different phenomenon from that of ‘Fallout’: the excellent invoice of HBO production, much more mainstream That the prime video, it caught the attention of non-players. To compare: the relaunch of “The Last of Us Part II” for PS5 only made the monthly players in 70%. And in cinemas, ‘Minecraft’. This is one of the greatest recent box office successes, and here there has been a clear feedback: the commented Tumults in cinemas They are due to the preteen enthusiasm of the ‘Minecraft’ players, but the current was also in the reverse direction: the premiere in April 2025 produced a growth of 30% of users of the game. Of all of them, 54% of the new players were people who had abandoned the games previously, that is, the film reactivated their interest in the game. Some reasons. They are diverse (although we like to continue putting in the same sack to ‘Arcane’ already ‘Street Fighter’, these are adaptations for generations of completely different spectators), but the Massive television accessibility. This allows those who do not play videogames to know their emblematic stories without having to overcome the “input barrier” that sometimes lifts the technology, already later encouraged to enter them on their own. In any case, it seems that we are living a golden era for this type of series and films: fidelity to the originals achieved with films such as ‘Super Mario Bros.’ or ‘Sonic’ was unthinkable a few years ago. The change in the interests of the public causes these products to cease to be niche, or rather, that they no longer have the need to soften the elements of the original video game to become massive products. Viodeojuegos are already an entertainment mainstream and its adaptations catapult that audience.

Russia has launched its Zircon hypersonic missile at NATO doors. And he has accompanied him with a video so that there is no doubt

by

Just a week ago, Russia launched the Greater order to Europe From the beginning of the invasion of Ukraine when entering a swarm of drones in the airspace of Poland. Europe’s response was overwhelming, but nobody escaped then that it was produced at the doors of the Zapad 2025the military exercises that Moscow shares with Belarus and that suppose another headache. How much? For example, the size of a hypersonic missile. Demonstration of power. Because Russia has sent an unequivocal message of strength within the framework of those joint maneuvers. From the Frigate Admiral Golovko, deployed in the Barents Sea, the nation He has disseminated images of the launch of your hypersonic missile 3m22 Zirconcapable of reaching white 1,000 kilometers and traveling to Mach 9. The projectile successfully hit its goal, According to the Ministry Russian defense, reinforcing the narrative that, despite the enormous losses accumulated in more than three years of war in Ukraine, it continues to have strategic abilities that few rivals can counteract. He Video showed In addition the participation of hunting Sukhoi Su-34capable of transporting up to eight tons of weapons and covering long distances without replenishment. The inclusion of such high profile armament in an exercise that develops a few kilometers from NATO borders has been interpreted as a calculated provocation rather than a simple defensive trial. Zircon and his use in Ukraine. The Zircon, along with The Kinzhalis one of the hypersonic missiles that Russia has used in Attacks against Ukraine. Its combination of extreme speed and limited maneuvering capacity makes it a target practically impossible For current air defense systems, generating a sense of vulnerability in both Ukrainian cities and among neighboring countries. Although its operational deployment remains reduced, the dissemination of its impact on a naval exercise seeks Clear answers. The signal is evident: Russia maintains the initiative in the field of new generation weapons, and wants to demonstrate it right in the perimeter where the alliance concentrates Your most sensitive flank. Zircon against China and USA. The Russian missile is a naval HCM that, flying low With Scramjetrun high energy terminal profiles suitable against ships and, a priori, certain land targets. His Achilles heel is not so much the missile and the objective beyond the horizon, which requires reliable cueing by satellite/plane/helo/uav. Faced with this, the Chinese DF-17 Use a hypersonic planner about ballistic booster to overcome defenses with lateral lifting maneuvers (Cross-ngege), while Your DF-27 Expand strategic scope with longer time. For its part, the United States pursues a mix: Hacm (Air-respirate, integration in fighters) for rapid theatrical attacks and CPS (common glide-body with the army) for conventional long-range blows from stealthy maritime platforms. Zirkon Zircon in front of the old continent. Europe accelerates Planning technology (France) and prioritizes interception in planning phase With GPI. In interception, AEGIS/SM-6 It offers the only Western capacity today “On Call” (limited and highly dependent on geometry), while GPI seeks to “paste” the glider when it has not yet descended to its terminal sprint, increasing the successful window. Be that as it may, in all cases the key is not only the missile: it is the sensor chain, the data link and the decision latency for close the cycle “Find-Fix-Track-Target-Engage-Assass” before the vector cross the non-return threshold. About drones and how to answer. As we said at the beginning, the launch of the Zircon coincided with an increase in tension after Drones incursions Russians in Poland’s airspace and RomaniaNATO members. On September 10, Warsaw denounced the entrance of at least 19 devices, demolished by allied fighters, in what described as “Unprecedented violation” and “large -scale provocation.” Three days later, a Russian drone was detected in Romanian territory, reviving the alarms. Poland invoked article 4 of the North Atlantic Treaty, which establishes an urgent consultation mechanism between partners to agree on joint measures. From that debate the Eastern Sentinel operationwhich contemplates the deployment of advanced fighters, antimile defenses and military reinforcements in Eastern Europe. NATO He reacted quicklyaware that the escalation of provocations, although without direct damage, is a direct challenge to its credibility as a safety guarantor. Provocation or accident. Versions about incursions They have varied. Moscow ensures that the drones had no Poland target and that they could deviate, while Belarus suggests trajectory failures. However, both NATO and the United States consider that they were Deliberate launcheswith the aim of testing allied patience and giving up western responses. The US Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, described the facts of “unacceptable, unfortunate and dangerous.” The contradiction between Russian justifications and the forcefulness of Western reactions reinforces the perception that it was a political pressure trial rather than a technical error. An unstable scenario. Thus, the combination of exercises Zapad 2025he Zircon launch or drone raids In NATO space They draw a scenario of increasing instability in Eastern Europe. Although Russia and Belarus insist on the defensive nature of their maneuvers, the location of these operations and the nature of the employee armaments transmit the opposite: a willingness to intimidate and demonstrate that the Kremlin retains the ability to challenge NATO on their own borders. The result points to a new tension cycle, where each military gesture acquires an immediate political reading and where the possibility of unplanned incidents (although with climbing potential) is multiplied dangerously.

‘Operation Triunfo’ is the prime video tool to grow at full speed. The key is in Latin America

by

Although the audience figures did not seem clear until Operation Triunfo 2023 concluded, the program He ended up throwing a very positive balancebecoming the most watched national premiere in the history of prime video in Spain. Therefore, the platform has decided to bet strongly on this new stage, seeking to maximize its scope, and devote itself especially as a cultural reference for generation Z and decisively reaching various Latin American countries. Some figures. Among the things that Prime Video has told is that it reached 3.5 million unique viewers during its 14 weeks of broadcast. A triumph that extended, as Amazon will certainly interest, Beyond the mere audience Of the platform: in its 14 weeks of broadcast, Amazon registered one million visits to the OT thematic store, 720,000 interactions with Alexa and 66 million votes through the app. They are additional business routes that corroborate why OT is so important for the digital store economy. Audience involved. The great triumph of the program (worth the redundancy) has been to earn to very involved spectators with the format: 8.6 million weekly votes and 1.6 million records in the app (the previous record was at 820,000) that add up to those mentioned 66 million; 5,000 million global visualizations and 80,000 publications in Tiktok; a peak of 180,000 users connected simultaneously on YouTube; And more than 27,000 attendees in disc firms, so that everything is not virtual. And in addition, of course, hashtags about the program after in the list of Twitter trends every Monday, on many occasions monopolizing the first ten positions and making the edition of constant conversation during its 14 weeks. For all of Latin America. ‘OT 2025 ‘premieres on September 15 at 10:00 p.m. in Spain with simultaneous live transmission for the first time in its history for six Latin American countries: Mexico, Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Chile and Peru. It is a Amazon response to the growing demand of the fans of the program and, above all, wants to take ‘OT’ beyond Spain, and that Prime Video impacts more globally. Undoubtedly, an ambitious intention but that if it is possible to give an extraordinary dissemination to the program. To increase this impact will bet on social networkswith 15 weekly minutes with which the contestants to generate content in a “Tiktok Corner” within the Academy, with live reactions on Fridays on social networks at 15. Again, as happened last year, social networks will form a primary part of the Amazon strategy. There will also be new weekly programs: ‘OT connection (Tuesday to Saturday at 8:00 p.m.) and’ Face B ‘(Sunday, also at eight in the afternoon). Technological investment To provide viewers A program at the heightAmazon has put on their feet the greatest scenario in the history of Prime Video, with 358 m² of LED screens, 10 cameras, including the Spderm, and more than 750 lighting devices. It is a considerable technological leap and as Amazon has revealed to the press, it is only the spearhead of a very ambitious project, where everything is integrated more organically than in previous stages. For example, the study where ‘connection ot’ is recorded just below the academy, so that there is immediate access to teachers and contestants. And there will be no post -grooves or videosumeros: everything will be part of the gala. Youth is sought. Therefore, expand borders, more programs and support determined to the possibilities of social networks. All with a very clear intention: to appeal to the interests of generation Z, which is able to make a fan phenomenon germinate that is the one that really gives life to this type of programs. In search of the youngest generations of spectators to get the format, which is already 24 years old, it remains fresh.

We analyze the big question in video after the Apple event

by

Less than 24 hours have passed since Apple presented the new iPhone and, as usual, doubts arise: ¿It is worth renewing the mobile for any of the new models? Does it make sense to make the leap to iPhone Air or is it better to go directly for one of the Pro Line? You may even be valuing a third way: take advantage of discounts from previous models. We return with one of our favorite formats, the Versus. In it we have already compared watches for less than 200 euros, Tables for the Tour of Class And even some of Amazon’s best selling fryers. This time it is the turn of the iPhone. Although we still don’t have the new models in our hands, our partner Samuel Oliver He has put them face to answer the big question: Which one to choose from? Buy a new generation iPhone or take advantage of a previous model? For a long time, the pro models have monopolized all the prominence. This year, the situation has changed. “I think this year’s stars are the base models: we are finally Promotion with those 120 Hz and the 48 MP sensor In your main camera. He iPhone 17 He has inherited a lot from last year’s pro models and receives new chip, the A19 along with important improvements in the Selfie Chamber, ”says Samuel. In the video, our partner describes some of the key assets of the new entrance models, two elements that can be decisive for many users. “Pro models this year are more decaffeinated with potentYou like video and photography”, He adds in front of the camera, and launches a forceful appreciation on the iPhone Air. So far, what is the most difficult mobile to recommend? We will discover it. Samuel also raises several scenarios, including a very common one: those who are thinking of getting an iPhone of the previous generation. “It is Apple’s best telephone until the arrival of the new one, with all the camera news, processor, the camera control button, prepared for Apple Intelligence,” he says about one of the models that has been in the market for a while. In addition, it highlights some of its most relevant characteristics. In the video it is also explained what alternatives we have when Apple discourages models of your store. And here there is good news: It is possible to find interesting devices at lower pricesa more than valid option if you are looking for an iPhone without leaving a fortune. As always in VersusSamuel reviews the strengths and weaknesses of models such as iPhone 15 or the iPhone 14and leaves us not only with its winning option, but with clues for each type of user to find their best choice.

An US missile dynamited a boat in the middle of the Caribbean. And then Venezuela went to Gemini to see if the video was real

by

The story began on September 2, when Donald Trump affirmed That the United States Armed Forces had executed a precision attack against a “positively identified” vessel that transported drugs from Venezuela and was operated by members of the Aragua Train, designated by Washington as narcoterrorist, with a balance of eleven dead according to their own story. From then on until now all kinds of events have occurred. The video. Shortly after, the president amplified the message with A declassified video Through social truth that shows the detonation of a white missile in the high seas and a public warning to future traffickers, while Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, He corroborated the characterization of “lethal coup” against an objective that would have sailed from Venezuelan coasts. A senior defense official, cited in the background, confirmed The action as a precision attack against a “Drug Vessel”, in line with the known employment of rapid boats of three or four force used for cocaine routes to the north. Context and political framework. The announcement came days after Trump will order to deploy Three marine ships in the Caribbean to reinforce the interdiction of posters against Venezuela, expanding the role of the pentagon in missions traditionally led by the coastal guard. The president already He had instructed At the beginning of the year to prepare force use options against transnational criminal organizations after declaring them as foreign terrorist organizations in executive order, an framing that seeks to provide greater legal flexibility to extraterritorial kinetic operations. In parallel, the treasure sanctioned to the so -called Cartel de los Soles (Officer Network accused by Washington of drug trafficking and supporting the Aragua Train and the Sinaloa Cartel) as a specially designated global terrorist entity, consolidating a financial and safety pressure scaffolding. Caracas responds. Shortly after, Nicolás Maduro, whom the United States considers an illegitimate ruler for electoral fraud, human rights and drug trafficking violations, He warned That Rubio pushed Trump towards war and promised resistance if Venezuela is attacked, describing US military accumulation as “the greatest threat that our continent has seen in 100 years.” Although the Venezuelan government did not immediately react to the concrete attack, the martial tone and the doctrine of “defense of the territory” enunciated by Maduro raise the political bar and increase the risk of incidents of narrative or operational climbing in a dense maritime environment and complex jurisdictions. The norm vs the lethal force. It also happened another problem. I remembered The Wall Street Journal that the expansion of the prominence of the Pentagon contrasted with the standard procedures of the Coast Guard described by the former United States embassy in Panama, John Feeley: Identification, stop orders, priority for preserving life, neutralization of engines with .50 caliber shooters from helicopters if the boat tries to flee and approach to verify load. According to that doctrine, the use of direct lethal fire is not the norm except in legitimate defense; Hence, the kinetic destruction of a suspicious boat, without the typical sequence of “interdiction and approach”, represents a qualitative leap in commitment rules and in the signal issued to criminal networks and the states that shelter them. The video goes on a suspect. The clip, which Trump presented as proof of the effectiveness of its anti -drug strategy and as a warning to organized crime, He went to the protagonist being quickly questioned by Caracas. Freddy Ñáñez, Minister of Venezuelan Communication, accused in the networks Social to the president to disseminate images “generated by artificial intelligence”, pointing out the aesthetics “almost caricaturesca” of the explosion, visual artifacts and water with an artificial aspect, characteristic of synthetic productions. He did it with an equally doubtful study. Namely: He asked Google’s AI, Gemini, what seemed to him the sequence, and it responded after an analysis that “it was very likely” that it would have been created generated by ia. The doubts to the operation. Again, Trump said the ship crew belonged to the Aragua Train, a Venezuelan criminal organization designated by Washington as a terrorist group in February. However, the veracity of the material was questioned. Reuters Indian That he did not find conclusive manipulation evidence, although he continues to review the video as part of his verification process. Beyond the technical debate, security experts They expressed reservations On the performance in itself following the exhibition of Feeley and remembering that the usual practices of the Coast Guard seek to preserve lives and rarely open fire against suspicious vessels, since most crews are surrendered without resistance. Electoral key message. Plus: The episode has acquired a greater relevance for the context in which it occurred: it was Trump’s first public appearance in a week, in the midst of Speculations about your status Health at 79. The video became A propaganda instrument More than in a military part, used by the president and his main ministers (Marco Rubio outdoors and Pete Hegseth in defense) to underline his hard hand against drug trafficking. The message that accompanied the clip In social Truth, written with Trump’s usual excessive style, reinforced the intimidating tone towards any attempt to introduce drugs in the United States. The shadow of AI. In addition, the controversy has spread to the broadest field of digital manipulation. Ñáñez insisted in which the piece was an artificial creation aimed at manufacturing a media victory, while, in parallel, Trump himself contributed to confusion by disqualifying as “probably generated by AI” another viral recording that showed alleged objects thrown through a White House window, despite the fact that the Executive himself himself He had explained which was a contractor performing maintenance work. The contradiction fed the perception of a president willing to use the Technological ambiguity To mold the political story. F-16A of Venezuela Two fighters appear. In the last hours the tension has increased. The pentagon confirmed that two Venezuelan fighters F-16 They approached To the American destroyer USS Jasson Dunham, a Arleight Burke class ship deployed in the Caribbean as part of the drug … Read more

A false video made with AI

by

One of the main searches on social networks this summer has been that of large marine animals: our fascination with the orcs, sharks, whales and other residents of oceanic depths is not new, but in recent weeks the interest has been spurred, as usual, for the morbidity. Specifically, a violent video of a shark that, as usual begins to be, is actually a false piece generated by AI. The trap video. In recent weeks a viral video has circulated that allegedly shows a sea coach named Jessica Radcliffe. attacked by a orca during a live show in Florida. The video is very clearly generated by artificial intelligence, with multiple failures of those who continually see in the less worked videos of this type, but that did not prevent them from platforms where this type of productions make their August, Like Facebookwill accumulate more than one hundred million views. Paid land. The case of the invented Radcliffe, without relation to any real coach, is inspired by other real orcas attacks in captivity, such as those of Alexis Martínez In Spain in 2009 or Dawn Brancheau In Florida in 2010. The phenomenon has prolonged over time, and today It is difficult to track the original videobut not its many effects: Looking for “Jessica Radcliffe” In Tiktok, for example, we find videos that They mimic the originalor what prolong history even with funeraladded, of course, to the thousands of videos Deminting the story. More orcas and sharks. It is not the only video linked to these sea creatures that has recently disseminated. For example, shocking real and documentary images have been seen where orcan white sharks, especially in South Africa and Australia. They spread widely, in fact, Following recent studies and scientific articleswhich enhanced interest in social networks. The AI ​​abounds. However, this last case extracted from a documentary is a rarity: Looking for “Sharks” either “Killer Whales“(Orcas in English) in networks like Tiktok The vast majority of pieces are generated by artificial intelligence, on many occasions showing openly false images of extinct animals such as the colossal megalodon. From this phenomenon it is easily deduced that users do not look for so much news or videos faithful to reality as strong emotions, passed by the filter of the influence of the films of the scal producing and Restraining successfully. Trick for tranquility. However, Internet algorithms extend their tentacles in multiple ways and in many directions, and videos of large marine animals are also spread without that tragic component derived from Jessica Radcliffe’s original. If you want to access them, search on social networks under the terms “Core Sharks” or “Core Killer Whales” and you will find videos of sharks and orcs interacting peacefully with humans or swimming in the ocean. Not everything will be dentelladas. Image | Joseph Stalin in Unspash In Xataka | The industrialization of hope is already the new Tiktok reef. Welcome to “Hopecore”

Seeing a graphics card for more than 10 years in the store in your neighborhood makes all your way. And nothing has to do with video games

by

You walk through your trustworthy store, see the showcase and you find yourself with Graphics cards For more than 10 years on the shelves. It is usually very common, especially in not -so -known stores and with a very limited stock. Although we can ask ourselves from first who buys hardware of these characteristics in 2025, the truth is that they can be more useful than we believe, especially in very specific cases that have nothing to do with video games. A cheap solution for specific cases. Through A publication From Reddit, a user wondered if it was strange to see graphics cards as old as the ones he shared in a photo. The truth is that despite the veteran of these components, they respond to specific needs within the work world, such as Connect multiple monitors to the lowest possible cost. Many companies need double or triple display configurations for office work, so instead of investing in a new computer, they end up adopting one of these graphics cards. For example, one GT 730launched to the market in 2014, and which can offer up to four HDMI outings, can cost a small fraction of what would be worth a modern graph, and solve the problem of connecting several monitors on computers in which the integrated graphic is fair or that simply does not have the necessary HDMI ports. Beyond gaming. Modern motherboards rarely include more than two or three video ports, and in somewhat more outdated equipment only two are allowed to use simultaneously. When an office needs to connect, for example, six screens to the same team, the cheapest solution is to add one of these old cards. The integrated processor GPU may end up being more powerful, but for cases where a good number of screens need to be connected, a dedicated graph of these characteristics would be the cheapest solution.

Given the failure of a graphics card for everyday use, having a replacement allows you to quickly determine if the problem lies in the graphics card or on the motherboard. In addition, they are still the perfect solution for very old teams that need to be updated: an old computer with VGA output It could connect to several modern monitors through HDMI outings when opting for one of these graphics cards. The compatibility factor. As suggests This other Reddit user, some specialized systems require operating modes that modern integrated GPUs no longer support. NAS servers o Equipment with SAS cards that only work in Legacy mode find in these outdated graphics cards the only way to maintain compatibility with specific hardware. A market in extinction. It is clear that the popularity of processors with increasingly powerful integrated graphics is gradually reducing the demand for dedicated graphics cards for use of office and other specific cases. AMD Ryzen with built -in GPU and the most recent Intel offer enough performance for multiple screens without additional hardware. However, in a panorama in which there are still millions of outdated equipment for business use, these types of graphics cards can take anyone out of a squeeze for a modest price.
