Xataka

This is how Q&As work with Xataka editors included in Xataka Xtra

by

The best way to summarize Xataka Xtra It is with one word: “community”. The community has been one of the cornerstones of Xataka since its inception and in this new adventure we wanted to take it one step further. We have Discord, where we spend the day talking about the things we like; and El Consultorio, a direct line with the in-house experts to resolve your doubts and questions. Today we present to you the Q&As with Xataka editors. When we hold events we normally do them with a predetermined theme. The clearest example is Xataka Live. But many times we simply want to talk to you and for you to talk to us without an agenda. Talk, simply chat about whatever is appropriate or what interests us at that moment. That is precisely what we propose with the Q&As. Q&A sessions are one of the exclusive advantages of Xataka Xtraour new community for subscribers that includes giveaways, discounts, exclusive newsletters and more. How to have coffee with friends These meetings, exclusive for subscribers of Xataka Xtrawill have a monthly cadence and will be carried out through Google Meet. The first will take place soon and we will notify you both here and on our Discord server, where we are also waiting for you if you are subscribed to Xtra. And what can we talk about? Whatever we want. Has a new game come out that we’re all hooked on and want to discuss? Forward. Do we want to talk about anime and convince everyone to watch One Piece once and for all? Go ahead too. Shall we talk about the latest releases from company X? Of course. Shall we put an end to the debate of potato omelette with or without onion? There would be more to go, even though there is only one correct answer. The idea is that it is a meeting of xatakeros in which we can talk about what we would talk about when leaving the office, on the street or having a coffee on any given afternoon. Needless to say, participation is not mandatory, far from it. It is an advantage that we include in the subscription to Xataka Xtrabut under no circumstances is it necessary to attend all the sessions, or none in fact. As we said before, the first session will take place shortly, so don’t go too far. See you at the Q&As! More information | Xataka Xtra

You have NordPass in Xataka Xtra with an exclusive discount

by

I don’t know how many years I’ve been using a password manager, but I do know that since I have, my life is much simpler and all my accounts are much better protected than when I used one password for everything. Or like a friend, who keeps writing down their passwords on a post-it next to the computer. That is why we were clear that we wanted to offer you this advantage: for being a member of our community of Xataka Xtranow you have a Extra 10% discount in 1 and 2 year plans NordPassthe next-generation password manager designed by the experts behind NordVPN. Two years of NordPass (password manager) with 3 months of NordVPN free The price could vary. We earn commission from these links A manager goes far beyond remembering passwords A good password manager is not only useful so that you don’t have to click on the “Have I forgotten my password?” button every now and then. In the case of NordPass, they offer: Passkey Support: Unlike traditional passwords, passkeys work through a pair of cryptographic keys: one ‘public’ that stays on the web and another ‘private’ that never leaves your device and that only you can release with your fingerprint or face, making it impossible to steal through remote hacking. They are much more secure than traditional passwords. Data breach scanner: Its platform monitors the network and if it detects that your email or one of your passwords appears in a database leaked by a hack, NordPass notifies you instantly so you can change it and avoid headaches. Password health: This is more important than it seems because you can have a very good password manager, but if your passwords are a chestnut… turn off and let’s go. With this function, the service warns you if you have a very weak, very old key or if you have reused the same one a lot. Save your cards and other private data: In addition to passwords, you can save your credit cards and personal notes encrypted, filling out purchase forms in a second with complete security. I use it a lot for the typical account recovery codes for WhatsApp, Discord, Slack, etc. Email masking: NordPass includes an email masking option, which is used to create fictitious email addresses so that you can subscribe with them wherever you want and avoid the risk of phishing, spam, etc. You really know your address, but not the smartasses on the internet. Why we like NordPass You may already use the password manager that comes with Chrome or Safari, but NordPass goes a little further. Use the algorithm XChaCha20 encryptionfaster and more resistant than traditional methods. It is also multiplatform, so if you jump a lot between different devices such as your mobile phone, computer (Windows, Mac, Linux) or tablet, with NordPass you have everything synchronized and under a “zero knowledge” architecture: only you can see your datanot even the NordPass developers have access to them. Your advantage for being Xataka Xtra With the Extra 10% discount exclusive for subscribers Xataka Xtraaccess to the Premium version of NordPass is much more affordable. And it joins other discounts such as: In Xataka | Password managers: which ones are the best to protect and remember all the ones you have

Saily’s eSIM now has a discount with Xataka Xtra

by

At Xataka we travel a lot to cover presentations or learn about new products, often outside of Spain, and from our own experience we have long been running away from unreliable public Wi-Fi networks or roaming (some scary bills have already reached us). Instead, we pull eSIM services like Sailywhich from now on is included as one of the advantages of Xataka Xtra. From the creators of NordVPN: a secure and well-functioning eSIM We decided to try Saily because it has been developed by the team behind NordVPN, which for us is one of the best vpn. They have mixed the privacy and security philosophy that they use at Nord and combined it with data packs at a good price. Some of its main features: Instant connection: If you have ever had to stop at an airport to buy a physical SIM card, you will know how annoying it is. With the Saily app, you choose your destination (there are more than 200 available), you sign up for the plan and you already have data before you even get off the plane. Emphasis on security: Unlike hotel Wi-Fi, where you share a network with strangers and expose yourself to data theft and hacking, using Saily’s eSIM is like navigating a private tunnel. It connects directly to cell towers, so your traffic is shielded by professional mobile security standards. In addition, Saily includes a ‘shield’ in its interface that blocks ads and dangerous websites before they reach your mobile phone, very useful for when you don’t know the pages in another language that you usually visit when you are abroad. No surprises: Saily is prepaid. You choose how many GB you need and how much you want to spend. There are no contracts or fine print, so you will avoid any scares when you return home. Saily eSIM in +200 destinations, prepaid and with an extra level of security The price could vary. We earn commission from these links Why do we like Saily? You can imagine: at Xataka we have tested many eSIMs and other connectivity solutions, but what we like most about Saily is its simplicity: One-click installation: No more configuring complicated APNs or removing and inserting cards with a clip. It is 100% digital. Almost global coverage: Whether you are going to Thailand, Brazil or Canada, Saily offers plans to more than 200 international destinations with very reasonable prices. 24/7 Support: If you have any problem during your trip, the support team responds quickly both by chat and email. One more advantage for being from Xataka Xtra If you are part of Xataka Xtrayou will get a 10% discount on any new international eSIM with Saily. Whether you have a getaway planned or a business trip, this eSIM is one of the best we have tested and thanks to Xataka Xtra you can get it even cheaper.

At El Consultorio de Xataka Xtra we answer you

by

In the almost twenty years that I have been dedicating myself to technology journalism, the world has changed a lot, but there is something that has remained the same: we all have questions. Whenever a brand launches a new smartphone, anyone looking to renew their phone wants to know if it is a good buy or how one of its star features works. It happens with any type of product, even when you’ve just brand new it: how do I get the most out of it? Am I using it correctly? Is it normal that it works like this or has it turned out to be defective? At Xataka we have been covering events for more than two decades, doing interviews, reviews, comparing products with others, and specializing in technology and all the intersections that exist to understand it. That’s why when someone asks us what phone I should buy, what electric car I might be interested in, or how I can make AI do something for me, we usually have a pretty clear answer. And all that knowledge is what we want to share in a much more direct way with you. From you to you. welcome to The Office of Xataka Xtra. What is the Xataka Xtra Office You send us a question and we answer you. No chatbots, no generic answers or AI hallucinations. One of us will respond to you personally and understanding your specific case. If you have a question about a mobile phone, the person who has tested it or who knows the most about that mobile phone within the Xataka team will answer. The same applies to any other technological product, be it hardware or software, and other topics in which we are also specialists, such as science, energy or productivity, to name a few. In other words: The Office is a direct route between us so that we can help you with any questions you may have about technology, science and innovation. It can be useful for: Purchasing decisions. Whether it’s a cell phone, a laptop, a car or even a washing machine, we can help you choose your next technological product. Always with the experience we have and what we know about the sector. Technical advice. Not only with products and their operation. Imagine that a law changes, that you want more information about a space launch, or that one company has bought another and you want to understand how it could affect you. Specific queries. There are as many questions as there are use cases, and for that it is necessary to have specialized knowledge, to have tried a product or even to have faced that doubt ourselves. The Office is one of the exclusive advantages of Xataka Xtraour new community for subscribers that includes giveaways, discounts, exclusive newsletters and more. How to send a question to El Consultorio? Once you are part of Xataka Xtrait’s very easy: you can write to us by email at xtra@xataka.com or ask us our Discord. From that moment on, the best person who can answer you from Xataka will ensure that your question is resolved. We will always assign the person who knows the most about that topic. Please note that if you write to us during a weekend or holiday, it will take us a little longer to respond because we also stop to rest. We ask for your patience in these cases. What we can’t help you with at El Consultorio We are not technical support. If your device has broken, you have warranty problems, or you need an advanced configuration, the manufacturers and stores where you purchased it are the ones who can help you. We do not make investment recommendations. We tell you trends and the context of what is happening in the technological world, but the decisions about your money are yours alone. We don’t have answers for everything. We are not the oracle. There are many products that we surely have not tried or that are outside our specialty and, therefore, about which we do not know enough. If this is the case, we will notify you and try to guide you in the best way we know how. There will be no question about El Consultorio that we do not answer, but we cannot promise a specific response time either. Many times we are on press trips, sometimes we get sick or, simply, everyday life is intense. In those cases, we prefer to take a little longer to respond, but we want to be able to dedicate the time to do it right. Every week we will give examples At El Consultorio what we want is to help, so every week we will select one of the questions you have asked us and we will publish an article with our answer here on Xataka. Maybe it will help other people, even if they are not part of Xataka Xtra, and that motivates us a lot. Do you dare? You can join now Xataka Xtra.

the new newsletter from Xataka Xtra about the trends that are changing the present and will define the future

by

‘Proxima X’ is one of the newsletters exclusives included in Xtrathe Xataka subscription plan. It is biweekly (we send it every other Thursday) and is part of a benefits plan that includes access to other newsletters, a consultation with editors and raffles and discounts exclusive for subscribers. The first draw, a 75″ TV. For years, one of the last questions that every Xataka editor has asked his interviewees has been “If we were having this conversation In five or ten years, what would we be talking about??”. Next X is our commitment to doing exactly that every two weeks: talking, analyzing and thinking about the things that will be central a decade from now. And yes, we know it is a risky job. But who was going to tell that group of bloggers that They launched Xataka in November 2004 that 20 years later that passion for gadgets, online services and digital culture was going to be fundamental to understanding the contemporary world? The lesson is clear: we have to live passionately in the present, to understand what will define the future. We will talk about AI, quantum computing, biotechnology and space exploration, yes. But we will talk about many more things, because what defines this newsletter is not a list of topics, it is a question: what’s next? And “up next” this week has been the profound effect that technology has on human societies. One in particular: boredom. Is it possible that one of the most unexpected (and important) consequences of all the technological development of recent decades is boredom? Well yes and, as I say, It is much more important than it seems. Other Xataka Xtra newsletters Chip War (weekly, every Monday): The semiconductor industry is the technological, economic and geopolitical battlefield of our time. Every week we analyze what is happening in the race for chips: from the tensions between the United States and China to the decisions of TSMC, Intel, SK Hynix or Samsung that will determine who leads the next decade. B-sides (weekly, every Saturday): Five curious and fascinating readings every week. Strange, counterintuitive or unexpected stories that we find on the Internet and that deserve your attention. From industrial accidents that changed the world to surprising scientific research or absurdities of late capitalism. More information | Xataka Xtra

It’s not just hiding your IP (that’s the least of it) You probably associate using VPN to bypass geoblocks for certain services and applications. NordVPN has more than 9,000 servers in 111 countriesso this does it very well, but it does much more: Malware Protection: NordVPN is not just a VPN. Its function Threat Protection Pro It analyzes the files you download and the websites you visit in real time. Not only does it protect you from viruses, it blocks intrusive trackers and ads before they load. Post-quantum security: We already know that quantum computers will have the ability to break any encryption that exists to date, present and past. NordVPN already implements post-quantum encryption for when that time comes.
