China begins to build the largest dam in the world. His neighbors fear that they use it as a “water pump”

by

The Pharaonic works They are not easy. Tell them The Linethe gigantic Horizontal skyscraper that he was confident years ago and that more and more and more. China, however, does not raise your foot from the accelerator and, every little time, it surprises us with some megaestructure. Now, and after a long planning, they have announced the beginning of the construction of the world’s largest hydroelectric dam. And neighboring countries have shouted in the sky for a reason: the possible use of water as a throwing weapon. A monster. China has the largest dam on the planet. The three throats is the largest energy plant in the worldit is so huge that GROUNDS EARTH ROTATION With a refueling, and it is estimated that it has a production capacity of 88.2 million MWH per year. Impressive, but will soon be in a second place because they are preparing an even bigger dam. A set of dams, rather. Located on the Yarlung Tsangpo River, Lto new biggest in the world It will have the capacity to generate 300 million MWH per year, you can cover the energy needs of 300 million people each year and “only” will cost 130,000 million euros. That impressive capacity will be possible thanks both to your turbines as to the use of the energy generated by the two -kilometer unevenness presented by the river in certain areas and a construction with five cascade dams. “The project of the century”. The area is one of the richest in hydroelectric resources in the world, and the idea is to drill between four and six tunnels of 20 kilometers in length through a mountain to divert half of the river flow to achieve 2,000 m³ per second and take advantage of all that force. It will not be a simple operation due to the conditions of the area and at the cost of the project, and that is what has led to China’s prime minister to qualify it as “the project of the century”. As we read in The GuardianLi Qiang made the statements during a ceremony in the region to commemorate the beginning of a construction that was announced in 2020 and has Aroused numerous criticisms. Out of China, yes. Risks. First, for natural reasons. Is found in the Tibet area And it is one of the most regions seismically active of the planet. It is where the Indian and Eurasian plates contact and where numerous earthquakes are given every year, some with important magnitudes. In fact, a recent earthquake already damaged five hydroelectric dams in the area, and the weight of accumulated water itself is another factor that can trigger earthquakes, As has happened. On the other hand, human reasons. Apart from the consequences that an earthquake of that magnitude can have for the local population, it is not the first time that displaces a population to build a dam. These population movements is something that fear Tibetan groups that claim to have no visibility on the plans of the Chinese government. And, when they have complained about other hydroelectric projects in Tibet, they have been repressed by the authorities. The area could not be more geologically complicated. Either at the geopolitical level And geopolitics. India and Bangladés too They look at the dam With the arched eyebrow. He Brahmaputra It is essential for agriculture and access to drinking water of millions of people along the river and fear that dams seriously alter their flow. It is something that would directly affect the agriculture and food security of these people and already They drop That the project is a strategic tool from China to exert pressure on neighboring countries, by being able to control or modify water flow at will. Neeraj Singh Manhas is the special advisor for South Asia in the Parley Policy initiative (organization that seeks to solve conflicts through diplomacy) and in statements to BBCHe commented that “China can always use water as a weapon, blocking or diverting it.” Even if they do not do it on purpose, it would not be the first time that a accidentlike him collapse In cascade of the Banqiao dam and another 61 dams in 1975, an event that caused 85,000 direct deaths and displaced 11 million people. “Water pump”. In addition, it is something that can go against the direct interests of India, which aims to build a hydroelectric dam on the Sang River (one of those feeding on the Tsangpo). Apart from the fact that the flow of the river can affect the energy interests of India, there are voices that warn about the possible use of China as a “water pump.” PEMA KHANDU, Minister of Arunachal Pradesh -a state of the Republic of India -, commented In a recent interview that the dam “can cause an existential threat to our tribes and a half visa. It is quite serious because China could use this as a ‘water pump’. Suppose that, suddenly, they release water: all our Siang belt would be destroyed, finished with tribes that would see how all its properties would be destroyed”. Nothing to worry about. From the Chinese government have always been rejected Those criticisms, ensuring that they do not seek “water hegemony” or intend to get benefits at the expense of their neighbors. On the other hand, it is alleged not only that the project will generate employment in the region, but will cover the energy needs and encourage something that China is advancing by leaps and bounds: he Renewable sector. In addition, the Prime Minister said that these concerns about ecological conservation have been taken into account when planning the project to “avoid environmental damage.” We will see what it is, but it is evident that the dam will be built and the intention is that it is operational in record time: by 2030.

folding wings, redesign cabin and the largest engine in the world

We do not usually think about the plane when we buy a ticket. We think of the destination, in the budget, at the time of departure. But in a few years, something could make you stop a second more in the model that appears next to the flight number. Because that journey could be done aboard the new Boeing 777x (In one of its variants, 777-8 or 777-9), an aircraft designed to mark the future of the long radio: more efficient for airlines, more comfortable for those who travel. 777x does not arrive at any time. Boeing develops it with a very clear objective: reinforce its position in a strategic segment that for years dominated without discussion. The result is not a break with the past, but an evolution calculated on one of its greatest successes. With this new generation of 777The company seeks to respond to a growing demand for efficiency, scope and capacity without giving up what was already working. BOEING 777X Technical Card Boeing 777-8 Boeing 777-9 Launch of the program November 2013 November 2013 Squares (typical two classes configuration) 395 426 Scope 16,190 km 13,500 km Length 70.86 m 76.72 m Wingspan Extended: 71.75 m On land: 64.85 m Extended: 1.75 m On land: 64.85 m Cabin Wider; new customizable architecture; incorporates comfort innovations of 787 Dreamliner Wider; new customizable architecture; incorporates comfort innovations of 787 Dreamliner Configuration Double corridor (widebody) Double corridor (widebody) Engine GE9X GE9X Approximate price From 410 million dollars (Eplaneai) From 442 million dollars (Eplaneai) The 777x design is not only new: it responds to a very clear idea of efficiency and scale From a distance, 777x seems familiar. Its silhouette remembers that of other wide fuselage aircraft. But just approach to notice the differences. The wings, longer than usual, They curve with elegance until ending in folded tips that attract attention even before takeoff. The huge engines dominate the side view of the plane. The 777x wings are not only the longest that Boeing has ever mounted on a commercial plane. They are also the most innovative. They are manufactured in composite material, such as those of the 787 Dreamlinerand extend until they exceed 71 meters of size. To avoid airport problems, its ends fold when the plane is on land. It is a subtle gesture, but that hides one of the most complex decisions of design: how to gain efficiency without limiting your access to shipping doors. It is impossible to look at 777x without looking at its engines. The GE9X They are not just The largest that have been installed in a commercial plane: They are also among the most efficient. With a fan of 3.4 meters in diameter and carbon fiber blades, each one concentrates more than a decade of technological development. The result is an engine that consumes 10% less than the GE90-115Breduce noise and meet the limits of emissions established for your class. One of the great promises of 777x is inside. Although the fuselage maintains the same exterior width as its predecessors, Boeing has redesigned the internal structure To gain useful space. The ceiling is higher, the smoother lighting and the sensibly lower background noise. The humidity of the environment has also been improved and cabin altitude has been reduced, two factors that are not seen but that can make a difference in flights of many hours. The change is not limited to what passengers see. In the command cabin, the 777X introduces for the first time in commercial aviation Integrated touch screensa system that replaces part of physical controls Traditional by a cleaner and more flexible interface. The environment remembers that of 787 and maintains many similarities with that of 777, which facilitates the transition for crews. None of this has happened quickly. When Boeing presented 777x in 2013the first installment was scheduled for 2020. Years later, that horizon is still not materialized. Flight tests continue, certification processes have hardened And the first deliveries are not expected before 2026, with increasingly narrow margins. For Boeing, this is not a simple project: it is an opportunity that cannot afford to be missing. While the legendary American company hurries the deadlines of 777x, Airbus gains ground in the world. In China, for example, is about to close a massive order. According to SCMP, it could be up to 500 airplanes. And we are talking about largest aviation market in the world. In that context, as we say, 777x is not just a new plane: it is a strategic bet with which Boeing is playing part of his future.

There is a whole literary genre dedicated to perverse crimes in the most cuquis and friendly spaces in the world. And he is breaking it

by

We identify the black novel, invariably, with what is known as HARD BOILED: hard detectives, bloody crimes, sordid environments. But … what if there was another way to raise gender? Settling in certain classics of the genre, the novels Cozy Mystery (“Cozy mystery”) They are more than a niche: they are a very profitable way to continue taking advantage of a historical style of making crime literature and suspense. But … what are exactly? They are police novels that present the crime and its resolution in “clean” environments: small peoples, picturesque communities or scenarios of everyday life (bookstores, coffees, gardening clubs). Explicit violence and sex are deliberately excluded from the scene, and the narrative focuses on the interaction between unique characters (often an amateur detective, almost always a woman, with a great sense of humor and daily skills) and the logic of the research. But this sounds to me … Of course it sounds to you: the eccentric detective, which takes advantage of its harmless appearance to gain the confidence of the suspects has as famous historical precedents as the Miss Marple Miss Agatha Christie And her most distinguished heiress: the Jessica Fletcher de ‘A crime has been written‘. Its roots can be traced even further: the British mystery novels of the nineteenth century and, in general the peaceful style of the “golden age” of the mystery (whose most popular representative is Christie) and where in addition to amateur detectives such as Miss Marple, we saw rural environments or closed communities, crimes executed “out of the scene” and ingenious resolution. In the 1980s, several writers began to claim and modernize that friendlier and more casual approach to the international boom of the darkest police novel. Since then, the Cozy Mystery He has experienced several popular cycles: the last one we are living now, supported by compartmentalization in increasingly detailed and specific subgenres that the editorial industry lives (of the Romantasy to the stories of Love with skaters). An editorial boom. Not only throughout the world authors such as Richard Osman, Joanne Flike or Kate Carlisle have become stars: also in Spain the subgenre has become a boom. Editorial Alma, for example, has found a real reef, and is exploiting fever by the Cozy With a collection that it already has almost forty titles to which are added, of course, its corresponding Children and Youth Variants. In the collection, titles such as ‘A lovely old woman … and lethal’, ‘Pride, prejudice and poison’ or ‘The last cupcake’ make clear the constants of the genre: kind satire, cuquis crimes and peaceful environments. And together with all these are, of course, the classics: ‘The Thursday Crime Club’, by the aforementioned Richard Osman, was one of the first supervantas of this last success of the genre. What’s behind: feminism … There is an inspiration for the genre that does not go unnoticed: its feminist inspiration. Women are present in Cozy Mystery as authors and also starring the books themselves. Gender can be understood as a reaction to the traditional black novel, historically monopolized by male voices and marked by the representation of women as a victim, secondary or femme fatale. The protagonists of these books are usually common women but extraordinary acuity, carriers of a logical, observer and empathic look. Following Miss Marple’s wake, many of them are mature, widowed characters, retired or housewives, whose age and experience confers authority and charisma. A true disarticulation of gender stereotypes, claiming values such as intuition, daily wisdom and practical sense, with women deeply integrated into their community, which gives a collective dimension to the narrative. A quiet and silent challenge of crime and punishment codes, eminently male law and order of the traditional genre. … and well -being. The warm and comforting style of these books (and their editions, with covers of soft tones and domestic scenarios) point to addresses that have nothing to do with the usual policeman: pleasant routines, the beauty of the everyday. And there is an echo in the prose of these books: light but not banal, ironic without cruelty … that is, a kind of comfortable reading, a very appropriate emotional refuge in these times of crisis, uncertainty and stress. We have spoken on other occasions about entertainments that disconnect us And peace provide us, and without a doubt the Cozy Mystery It has a lot to do with this trend: in a hyperconnected society, we crave return to small, intimate and without shocks. Except for small crime than another, but that is resolved easy. In Xataka | If you join the lifelong hobbies you have the editorial phenomenon that is sweeping in bookstores

has built a 152 -meter floating warning to the rest of the world

by

China has just signed a new chapter in the global race for renewable energy. This time, it is not an oil platform emerging in front of its coastbut of a floating wind turbine of huge proportions. A structure so massive that its blades exceed the height of most Spanish skyscrapers, designed to resist typhons and float in deep water. More than a technical advance, it is a strategic statement: the country not only wants clean energy, wants to control it from its own shipyards. Uploading the bet. The Asian giant has presented The most powerful offshore wind turbine in the world. The unit, with a capacity of 17 megawatts (MW), has been developed by the state of China Huaneng Group and Dongfang Electric Corporation, and has left the production line in Fuqing, coastal city of the province of Fujian, According to Global Times. Test process. The turbine will be towed soon to the waters of Yangjiang, in the province of Guangdong. From Esdnews They have detailed That the scale of the new wind turbine reaches 262 meters from the rotor diameter, a record that allows it to sweep an area of 53,000 square meters. Its height to the axis rises to 152 meters. According to figures from the Huaneng Group itself collected in the same medium, a single unit can generate up to 68 million kilowatt-Hora (KWH) of clean electricity per year, sufficient energy to supply about 40,000 homes. Not everything is the size. Although yes, since the wind turbine has been designed to withstand extreme maritime conditions, including waves of more than 24 meters high and winds of category 17, with speeds greater than 200 km/h, as They have collected in Chinadialy. In addition, it has an advanced stabilization system and smart sensors that allow maintaining production even when the platform suffers significant inclinations. It is not the first time that China Explore this technology. Last year, the Mingyang company installed Oceanx, a 16.6 MW floating wind turbine with double rotor, designed to resist hurricanes of category 5 and waves up to 30 meters. Located in Guangdong, Oceanx was a pioneer in extreme efficiency. However, the new Huaneng and Dongfang Electric model exceeds it in power, in size and in annual generation, with 68 million kWh, compared to the 54 million Oceanx. More than a giant turbine. This project fits a broader strategy that seeks to reduce the technological dependence from abroad. According to Global Timesall the main components – palas, generators, converters, transformers and even a new high diameter axis bearing – have been designed and manufactured in China. In addition, the turbine allows access to a resource so far used: the wind in deep water. In those areas, where it is not possible to install fixed structures, the only option are floating platforms. According to the Energy Research Institute of the National Development and Reform Commission, these areas have between three and four times more wind potential than the less deep coastal regions, According to China Daily. Float to get further. The Chinese advance is part of a global energy transformation. According to the World Wind Energy Council (GWEC)more than 80 % of the planet’s marine wind potential is found in waters of more than 60 meters deep. In this context, the development of large -scale floating platforms and national production places China in a leadership position. With a renewable capacity installed of more than 2,090 GW in May 2025, the Asian country already obtains one in three kilowatts-Hora from clean sources, such as Global Times explained. And keep accelerating. The wind as a flag. The new Chinese floating turbine is not just an engineering feat. It is a declaration of intentions. It represents the convergence between technological ambition, industrial sovereignty and ecological necessity. In a world that still seeks how to mitigate the climatic crisis without sacrificing development, China seems to be saying: the wind blows in our favor, and we know how to take advantage of it.

Nvidia says that China has the best open source AI in the world. These praises have a very clear intention

by

Jensen Huang, the co -founder and general director of Nvidia, is in China. At the end of last week He met with Donald Trump with the purpose of defending the interests of his company before an administration that has drastically restricted your business In the country led by Xi Jinping. During the last fiscal year, which expired on January 26, 2025, China represented approximately 13% of total income of Nvidia with a figure of about 17,000 million dollars. In practice, this Asian nation is the third best client of this company only behind the US and Taiwan. The decisions made by Jensen Huang during the last months clearly reflect that he is determined to defend your presence in this market. And he is doing it. A few hours ago he has made a statement during his visit to the International Exhibition of the China Supply Chain, in Beijing, which is worth not overlooking. Jensen Huang does not give stitch without thread “The models of artificial intelligence (AI) Open source of Deepseek, Qwen and Kimi are the best reasoning models in the world today. They are very advanced. ” Huang has pronounced These words during a talk with Wang Jian, the founder of Alibaba Cloud, the AI and cloud computing unit of this gigantic Chinese company. And this statement has not arrived at any time. Whether or not, objectively, the three models mentioned by this Executive are very competitive, as the reports of Demodazzle either Mediumamong others. The really interesting thing is that Jensen Huang has praised these Chinese models at a very delicate time for Nvidia. At a time when You need to strengthen your complicity with Chinese companies to which they have been selling their GPU for several years. Last week Jensen Huang got a promise from Donald Trump: Nvidia can sell again Your H20 GPU To his Chinese clients very soon. The reception that this chip initially received was very good even though its capacities are clearly lower than those of the other proposals for this company. Jensen Huang has praised these Chinese models at a very delicate time for Nvidia. At a time when you need to strengthen your complicity In fact, initially the Department of Commerce allowed its sale in China because this integrated circuit met the restrictions it had imposed. And despite its limitations Their sales grew by 50% quarter to quarter since it arrived in this market in mid -2024. Everything was complicated for Nvidia in the middle of last April. And is that the US Department of Commerce imposed new restrictions To the export of the H20 GPU, which in practice caused this chip to stop reaching the Chinese clients of this company. During the next few weeks this GPU will come back to the facilities of Tencent, Alibaba or Bytedance, among other Chinese companies, but Nvidia will have it more difficult than ever. And is that Huawei, his main Chinese competitor, is being reinforced with great intensity. Only one day after the US Department of Commerce formalized its latest sanctions He presented his GPU Ascend 920a chip for AI that is clearly intended to occupy in the Chinese market the gaps left by the NVIDIA H20 GPU. The GPU Ascend 920 will begin to be manufactured on a large scale during the second half of 2025 using 6 Nm integration technology that have presumably developed side with Huawei elbow and SMIC. The characteristics of this lithographic node have not yet been officially confirmed, but it will probably use the technique known as Multiple patterningwhich is the same one that SMIC is using 7 Nm chips. In addition, the GPU Ascend 920 will reach a 4 TB/s transfer speed for the memory subsystem thanks to the use of HBM3 chips.

The Rimac Nevera R has two curious records. It is the fastest electric in the world and, at the same time, nobody wants to buy it

by

He RIMAC Nevera r He has monopolized the attention of the whole world for his impressive speed and power figures. However, this electrical hyperdeportive, despite break speed recordshe has not managed to conquer the heart (or the wallet) of the wealthiest buyers. That produces the strange paradox that, while motor world fans celebrate the technological advances applied to one of the most brutal electrical hyperdeporters that have existed, the reality of their sales dazzles their track achievements. A world speed record that is not enough. The Rimac Nevera R has beaten the World Speed record For production electric cars, reaching an official brand of 431.45 km/h. However, the fridge R could not maintain Your domain in Nürburgringwhere it was overcome by the Xiaomi Su7 Ultrawhich became the Electric faster in rolling for the green hell of Nürburgring, despite being a superberlina and not a hyperdeportivo like the fridge R. Mate Rimac, founder of the Bugatti brand and CEO, acknowledged in a company statement that “Beating records is in our DNA, and we will not stop here.” However, according to The published by Bloombergdespite these achievements on the track the fridge R has not achieved the expected commercial impact. Why don’t Millionaires want the fridge r? One of the hypotheses that have considered Rimac is that the low demand can be related to the preference of high purchasing power for combustion hyperdeporters. According to collected CoachMate Rimac believed that “the market for electrical hyperdeporters is very limited. Most buyers in this segment still want the drama and emotion of an internal combustion engine.” This reluctance a embrace electrification In the hyper -sports segment it limits the potential market of the fridge R, however impressive their technical figures are. The Croatian brand acknowledges that “it is unlikely that we will manufacture another electric hypercoche in the short term”, reflecting the difficulty of convincing millionaires to change gasoline for electricity, even if it is 431.6 km/h. Only 40 units and record power. The RIMAC Nevera R is a limited edition based on the original fridge, but with an increased power in 200 hp with respect to the Original Neverareaching a total of 2,017 hp. As usual with the hypercoches, of the original fridge only 150 units will be manufactured, but in the case of the fridge R, its roll will be even lower, since it is a limited edition to 40 units, which underlines its exclusivity in the market of electrical hyperdeporters. The price of each unit is around 2.3 million euros more taxes, placing it at the top of the most expensive electric cars in the world. This combination of power and exclusivity has not been enough to convince the richest buyers, who seem to prefer other options. Porsche is worried about Rimac’s sales. In Porsche they are not satisfied with the sales figures of the refrigerator and motives are not missing. According to him annual report From Porsche, the German brand has 20% of Rimac’s shares, which makes it a part interested in the financial success of the Croatian company. “The profitability of our investments in Rimac depends on the commercial success of its models,” says Porsche report. The low sales level has generated a 46% collapse in the benefits up to 182 million euros. According to Autocar, in May 2024, the brand had only delivered 50 units of the refrigerator of the 150 that was going to manufacture. Before such a panorama, the additional 200 hp offered by the fridge R is not expected to be sufficient incentive for the millionaires to queue in the brand’s dealerships to take one. Maybe still Not the moment of electrical supercar. In Xataka | Bugatti has found a new reef: his clients are spent on average 500,000 euros on extras to customize his car Image | Rimac

The US and Spacex wanted to revolutionize the delivery of weapons anywhere in the world. A tropical bird had other plans

by

Starship is called to be the ship-cohete that Put humanity on Marsbut years ago he caught the attention of Pentagon For something much more earthly: transport military merchandise from one point to another on earth. But what they expected from Spacex And the Pentagon was an enemy who put those plans in check. Tropical birds. Revolutionizing military logistics. After a series of incidents, in 2024 we witnessed something unprecedented. He Starship propeller rocket was intercepted with millimeter accuracy by a mechanical arm. This, which seems little thing, is the starting gun for the revolution of space missions because it promises to reduce costs and shorten times because the rockets are no longer disposable between missions. Long before achievement, in 2021, the Pentagon already showed interest in these capabilities. The United States Air Force had an internal program called ‘Rocket Cargo‘With an ambitious objective, but easy to explain: transport huge amounts of military load from one point to another on the planet in a matter of minutes. Suspense. We are talking about the ability to deliver up to 150 tons of load anywhere on Earth in a maximum time of 90 minutes, which would imply an unprecedented and unprecedented deployment, as well as A tremendous strategic advantage. However, something like this requires evidence beyond those that Spacex itself is doing with its ship-cohete, and the idea of the Air Force was to start trying these rockets in a Pacific Atolón. It is not going to be. How can we read in Reuterson that remote island at 1,300 kilometers southwest of Hawaii, at least 14 species of tropical birds live. And, according to biologists, Spacex and Air Force tests would damage these species that nest in the area. Atoll location And relocation. This atoll, called Johnstonhas only 2.6 square kilometers and is part of the National Marine Monument of the remote Pacific Islands, so, as a source of the Air Force confirmed to the American military magazine ‘Stars and Stripes’, they will have to look for a new ‘patio’ of testing. According to the FFAA spokesman to the American magazine, they are already “exploring alternative places to develop the program”. Mistreating atolls. It is not the first time That the activities of the Musk company damages the flora and fauna of a place. It happened in Boca Chica, Texas, in 2023, when an explosion ended both with nests and coastal bird eggs, which caused legal problems to the company. Problems that Musk reacted with his particular and curious sense of humor, stating that he would stop eating tortillas for a week to compensate. And the truth is that this is a small victory for the tropical birds of the Johnson atolion, since the atolls of the quadrant and their fauna did not have so much luck in the pastwhen they were chosen as Objective for nuclear tests During the cold war, ending with entire islands of a plumazo and causing the Fear of nuclear radiation long before the Chernobyl accident.

The most common and insecure passwords in the world, exhibited in a graphic developer

by

Passwords They are a headacheand so it is just as it should be. We have more and more applications that require a password, something fundamental because in many we have associated payment data, but the Statistics evidence that, as much as there is Key managers And security gaps, we still do not give them the importance they deserve. In fact, every year ‘12345’ remains the most used password. It is not the only password that can be burst in seconds, but that we insist on continuing to use. And this graphic exposes it perfectly. Usual suspects. Prepared by Visual Capitalist With the data of NordPassin the upper graph we have the 25 most common passwords worldwide for 2024. To anyone’s surprise, ‘12345’ is the most popular, used more than three million times (according to the accounts of this service, so it can be many more), but it is accompanied by some consecutive numerical series a little longer, by the classic ‘password’ or by the first row of the keyboard, with more or a shorter length, but always left, but always left, but always left, but always left, with a length right. Passwords such as ‘Dragon’, ‘Monkey’ or ‘Iloveyou’ also appear, or the classic ‘Secret’. There are some that combine numbers and letters that, according to recommendations, give more strength to the key, but are such simple combinations that they do not make a difference in security. Burst in a second. Where do these passwords come from? Precisely, of a 2.5 TB database (which is said soon) that Nordass analyzed because they were credentials exposed in different security gaps. And beyond the number of times these unsafe passwords appear, what attracts attention is the time someone would take to burst them. You don’t have to be hacker to skip those passwords, and NordPass points that 25 can skip in less than a second. Of the most used, you have to go to the 28th place with ‘Target123’ to see that it would take nine seconds to crack it, ‘Tinkle’ would take two minutes and the first “safer” (Note the quotes) would be ‘Zag12WSX’, which would have been more or less and that it came out more than 90,000 times in different data leakers. Curiosity: Do not use Pokemon ‘like 45,776 people,’ Starwars’ as 34,427 or ‘Batman’ as another 24,638 people exposed because they are also bursting in less than a second. Spain and Latam without getting out of the line. Those are the most used worldwide, but something curious, and useful, is that we can filter through countries. If we look at Spain, ‘123456’, ‘123456789’ and 12345678 ‘are the three most used, but’ Spain ‘is the fourth and is somewhat safer. It would barely take that password that appeared 7,349 times in data filtration. ‘Spain’ would also take a couple of minutes and then there are some curious such as ‘Barcelona’ or ‘Alejandro’. Interestingly, if you have ‘Cristina’ as a password, it would take three hours to skip it. In Mexico the popular are identical to those of the rest of the world, but we have more insecure variety such as ‘Pokemon’, ‘Pass’, ‘Alejandro’, ‘America’, ‘Hello’ or ‘Carlos’. In Chile and Colombia, ‘Chile’ and ‘Colombia’ are among the most popular. In general, the list is quite curious, with “safe” passwords such as ‘111222Tianya’ in China or ‘Tkideltki’ in Taiwan, taking the Crackers one day to skip both. And return to recommendations. Six of the ten most used passwords are purely numerical and with extremely predictable patterns. Precisely, the trick to create a good password It is to use numbers, symbols and capital letters and lowercase with at least 12 characters. To do this, we have at our disposal programs that generate and manage these passwordsbut we can also take precautions changing the keys to timeuse Two -step verification methods whenever possible and take the habit of not reusing passwords.

China’s boom in the world of technology, visit to the headquarters of Byd in Shenzhen and much more in 1×14 crossover

by

China has gone from being The world factory To be not only the world factory, but Pioneers in the world of technology. In a matter of just a few decades the Chinese market has made a huge quanti and qualitative leap, see His advances in the world of artificial intelligence, consumption devices, The appliances either vehicles. That leads to ask a question: In what situation is the West right now? It is a most interesting debate and with many edges, edges that we address in the 14th crossover episode.

The world is full of retirees that monitor works on the street. In Italy they are professionalizing and signing them

by

It doesn’t matter if we talk about Madrid, Barcelona, ​​Vigo, Miranda del Ebro or the distant Lombardy. Where there is a work, an open ditch, a mason with helmet and shovel, a gardener Prunessing the cypresses of the park or a gruist A retiree supervising. His figure is almost universal, such as curiosity or the innate impulse to give advice that no one has asked. Now in A small town From Italy they have had a peculiar idea: why not take advantage of all that wasted talent? That is why they have professionalized their UMARELL. Work, who has said work? When one approaches a work, a series of elements expect to be found: masons, concrete, scaffolding, cranes, excavators … For a long time to that extensive list of professionals and useful something else is added: retirees that follow each shovel, banish or hammer with the attention of an orchestra director. It occurs in almost any Spanish city, it doesn’t matter if it is large or small. And occurs in other countries, Like Italywhere they occurred to them that it may not be far -fetched to take advantage of that ancient talent. With you, the UMARELL. In Italy they even have a name for retirees who move from work by work examining and giving advice, usually early in the morning, after breakfast, and in groups. They call them UMARELLa term coined in 2005 For the writer Danilo Masottiwho created him rescuing a dialectal word from his hometown, Bologna: Umarèl (“Little man”). The idea liked and has become popular until it sneaks into the dictionary in 2021. Over the years the figure of the UMARELL He has penetrated the Italian popular culture. A while ago in the town of Pescara they decided to open Windows In the fences that cover their works so that the elderly can appear to them and in 2016, in a wink to their growing popularity, Burger King included them in An advertising poster. The palm is taken, however, the City Council of Bologna, which in 2018 was a step further and dedicated a placePiazetta Degli Umoulls. Why not take advantage of them? Thus, a few months ago Villasanta, a small town of 14,000 inhabitants From the Lombardy region, in northern Italy, he had an idea: why not take advantage of the curiosity, experience and time of the UMARELL? Moreover, why not professionalize them and ‘sign’ the best? For that purpose At the end of last year The City Council launched a call that closed in early April and allowed it to create a small eight patrol UMARELLsix of the Villanta Yos de Monza itself. At the service of the people. In the bars bars, anyone can comment. In the team of UMARELL of Villasanta no. People selected by the Consistory meet certain requirements: they are retired, have university degrees and accumulate work experience in technical sectors thanks to their old jobs in fields such as architecture, engineering and topography. The goal? That your indications are, above all, good indications. The service provides it for free, without charging, although being registered in the Civic Volunteer Registry are covered by insurance. By becoming UMARELL Professionals also assume certain responsibilities. The Guardian details That each of the eight retirees (seven men and a woman) has a part of the assigned town and the work is organized in shifts between two and three hours. When one is missing, he coordinates with his companions to cover the vacancy. But … what do they do? Basically they increase the number of eyes and ears that the City Council has to supervise certain municipal works and services. During their turn each UMARELL It is responsible for visiting public works, checking the status of the streets and sidewalks and ‘supervising’ the maintenance of green areas. And that among other tasks. In April Euronews pointed out that the first mission entrusted to them by the City Council was to carry out traffic surveys. Thanks to them, the City Council can have a more precise control of public works, cleaning the streets and parking, the care of parks and other green areas or if the lighting and the garbage collection service works correctly. “Above all you feel useful for society and for yourself: you are doing something valuable with your time instead of sitting in front of TV or complaining, as the real ones do UMARELL“, Explain to The Guardian Roberto Cremona, one of the eight retirees who patrol the streets (and the works) of the town.
