Yesterday

The answer lies in what happened yesterday afternoon.

by

The normality of a Sunday marked by strong wind in the Canary Islands was abruptly broken at 12:13 p.m. At that moment, the clocks stopped and the screens went off throughout La Gomera. According to official sourcesthe island suffered a total “zero energy” that left 15,610 medium and low voltage points without supply. It was not just a question of lighting: the fall of the system took telecommunications with it, leaving a large part of the population without mobile coverage and plunging businesses into chaos as the dataphones became inoperative, as reported by testimonies collected by The Newspaper. The question iinevitable: again? The technical cause points again to the energetic heart of the island. As explained by Radio Televisión Canaria (RTVC)the origin was a “destabilization of one of the generators” located at the El Palmar thermal power plant. This initial failure caused what is known in electrical engineering as a load shedding or cascade effect. For safety reasons, the instability of that first piece of equipment caused the rest of the generators to fail, resulting in a general power outage. Although the Endesa company has communicated that the exact causes are under investigation, the president of the Cabildo, Casimiro Curbelo, has been more blunt pointing out the age of the infrastructure: “One of the equipment failed, possibly because its engine is old, and that caused the entire unit to destabilize.” A recovery in record time. Unlike the traumatic blackout of July 2023, which kept the island in the dark for three days and resulted in a penalty of 12.1 million euros for Endesa, the response on this occasion has been noticeably more agile. The technicians managed to reverse the situation from “zero” in just 17 minutes. The recovery was, however, “gradual.” As explained in ElDiario.esthe Minister of Ecological Transition and Energy, Mariano Hernández Zapata, warned that the process had to be slow to prevent the system from collapsing again when receiving the entire load at once. At 3:25 p.m., approximately three hours after the start of the incident, the Cabildo confirmed the restoration 100% of the service, although maintaining alert for possible “micro-cuts” of adjustment and maintenance. The technical feat that did not arrive in time. This new incident reveals a critical technological reality: the extreme vulnerability of “isolated systems”. The definitive solution is already under water, although with a bittersweet taste due to the deadlines. As detailed by Red Eléctrica de España (REE) In its planning, the ship Enterprise Cable In August 2025, the laying of what is the deepest tripolar AC cable on the planet began, descending to 1,145 meters on the seabed. This 36 kilometer engineering work, which will connect the substations of Chío (Tenerife) and El Palmar (La Gomera), is the 66kV “umbilical cord” that will allow: End isolation: La Gomera will be able to receive up to 50 MVA of energy from Tenerife in case of failure. Integrate renewables: It will make it easier for the island to advance its decarbonization goals by being able to pour clean energy into the grid. Robustness of the system: We move from a single, dependent generation model to an interconnected network model. But the irony tells itself. According to the official REE schedule, the completion of the interconnection was scheduled for the end of 2025. However, at the start of 2026, the Gomeros They have verified again thatwhile the last connections are not completed and the infrastructure comes into operation—predictably in this first quarter—, its electrical security continues to depend on a plant whose material fatigue is no longer a secret. An island on alert. Although the light has returned to homes, the feeling of uncertainty persists. The president of the Canary Islands, Fernando Clavijo, and the minister Sara Aagesen have maintained permanent contact to monitor the situation, aware that the island’s image is damaged with each blackout. La Gomera has shown to have learned its lesson in terms of emergency protocols and speed of response, but the infrastructure is still at its limit. All eyes are now on that submarine cable that, according to Casimiro Curbelois the only real guarantee that an old engine will not silence the life of an entire island again.

We already know the best day to buy a new SSD: yesterday

by

Six months ago, a Lexar NQ790 SSD with a 1 TB capacity had a price of 67.68 euros on Amazon. Today that same unit It is 139.99 euros: more than double. The worrying phenomenon that we have already seen with DRAM memories is now also beginning to be a reality in this type of storage units, but the worst is yet to come. what’s happening. At the end of 2025 we already saw how the average price of RAM memory modules had tripled or quadrupled in some cases. This component is becoming an absolute luxury for users and manufacturers not only of PCs and laptops, but also of mobile phones. AI, once again guilty. The AI ​​industry demands all production for itself, and that has made manufacturers focus on that segment for a simple reason: they make more money than ever thanks to it. The problem? that at focus on memories for AI chips and data centersthey do not have the resources to manufacture memories for the rest of the segments and of course not for end users. And what we already saw with RAM memories is now clearly seen in other components such as SSD units and also graphics cards for gamers. bad business. If you are undecided when it comes to building your PC, two messages. The first: it doesn’t surprise us. The second: if you are going to buy the components, do it as soon as possible. The catastrophe that is occurring with DRAM memories was just a prelude to what will happen with other components, and among them, SSD units are directly affected, which will soon also become a small luxury product. Price of a Lexar 790 1TB SSD on Amazon. Source: CamelCamelCamel They are already worth more than gold. What happens with the 1 TB capacity Lexar drive is almost anecdotal compared to larger capacity SSD drives. At Tom’s Hardware They made a disturbing comparison: an 8TB M.2 NVMe SSD weighs 8.2 grams on average and right now its average price is $1,476. And pay attention, because 8.2 grams of gold today costs about $1,150. 4 TB SSD units are “somewhat cheaper” than gold by weight, but even these models can be comparable if we choose one of the units with the best features. Dangerous trend. In PC Part Picker they have graphs of price tracking and the evolution of SSD unit prices is clear. As the image shows, the average price of 4TB NVMe drives is already practically 50% more than it was more than a year ago. For now, prices seem to be weathering the storm due to the inventory that was available, but as shown by the fact that the gray area already occupies almost the entire graph in recent months, those inventory units are disappearing and demand will predictably make this growing trend maintain… or skyrocket even more. Better not even talk about graphics cards. The RAM memory problem is also affecting the graphics card segment and in recent days we are seeing an important collateral effect. Some manufacturers are abandoning the manufacturing and marketing of some “more affordable” models to focus on more expensive ones. ASUS advertisement recently that it was going to stop selling its GeForce RTX 5070 Ti and the reason is simple: this card has 16GB of GDDR7 memory, which is the same as used in the RTX 5080. Why settle for selling a $749 MSRP card when you can sell a $999 one instead? If you want to buy, the sooner the better.. If you were thinking about upgrading or building a new PC, it seems clear that the best time is yesterday. The prices of memory, SSD units and graphics cards are beginning to break worrying records, and it is not likely that these increases will relax. In fact, everything indicates that they are going to get worse. Bad time for those who were hoping to renew their PC. In Xataka | The situation with RAM prices is so desperate that there are already those who build their own memory at home

Rosalía paralyzed the center of Madrid yesterday by surprise because she is no longer promoting an album: she is selling a great event

by

Beyond her music, which in these cases always takes a backseat, it is clear that when we talk about Rosalía’s ability to sell her stuff, we are dealing with an artist who is one step ahead of her compatriots. In fact, in a certain sense Rosalía plays in a league of teasers, previews and management of expectations that places her closer to Taylor Swift either bts that together with Van Gogh’s Ear. What happened. Rosalia paralyzed the center of Madrid last night with a presentation as brief as it was chaotic of their new album ‘Lux’, turned into an unexpected act of performance urban: at 8:45 p.m., Rosalía began a live on TikTok in which he announced that something would happen at 10:00 p.m. in the Plaza de Callao. Thousands of fans turned out within minutes, drawn by the promise of a performance. The artist, who was personally driving a white car through Madrid while it was being recorded live, briefly appeared running along Gran Vía before taking refuge in the Capitol Hotel.​ Make yourself Lux. Shortly after, all the screens in Callao and the theaters in the area faded to black to finally show the cover of ‘Lux’: Rosalía dressed in white, with a kind of straitjacket and veil, golden lips and a blue background with the title of the album in the center, and with visual reminiscences (the posture of a certain serenity, the headdress, the title of the album) that clearly recall a nun. The album will be officially released on November 7, it is the artist’s fourth studio after ‘Motomami’ and comes preceded by some visual clues in recent days, such as the artist’s presence in Times Square or the enigmatic presentation a few days ago of a score. Not Kings, but a queen. The launch of Rosalía’s new album, Lux, began with a great promotional action in Times Squarein New York, on October 19, 2025, where his image and the title of the album occupied the iconic light screens of the place.​ There the images that we ended up seeing in Callao were shown for the first time in the chaotic (but very studied) presentation yesterday. About the sheet music. More enigmatic was the publication in your newsletter of some scores apparently titled ‘Berghain’ (which suggested a musical turn towards string arrangements, apparently opposed to the electronic spirit of the Berlin club with the same name as the scores). Thousands of fans began to interpret the score with different instruments and upload their versions to TikTok and X, turning the enigma into a collective experience of musical creation. This phenomenon is reminiscent of the way in which, before the release of ‘Desphá’Rosalía already showed for the first time her ability to play with expectations and not follow the hitherto immovable rules of marketing, all based on leaks and direct and apparently improvised communication with fans. New narratives. Rosalía is a good example of a new way of promoting albums, which have ceased to be isolated musical works and have become a constant call for attention. Taylor Swift is the ultimate example: months before the launch of her ‘The Life of a Showgirl’ we have had promotion on social networks, a wedding announcement and a successful documentary. Rosalía already is giving interviews in which he talks about a personal turn in recent years that will be reflected, of course, in the new album. The personal and the professional blur, with clues that the album could have religious content, anticipating an intimate and profound transformation. And very profitable. In Xataka | Rosalía released a statement to avoid the controversy about Gaza. There are those who think that it has not been clear enough

Yesterday in the return and in Madrid it exploded in the face

by

The return 2025 will not be the Jonas Vingegaard nor that of any of the other cyclists and teams that have spent weeks pedaling through the ports of Spain. The 2025 return is and will be for the story ‘The return of the proportions’the same as They marked their stages In Basque Country or Galicia and what They have frustrated His grand final in Madrid. The return of 2025 will also be something else: the competition that shows us that the financed/sponsored teams aligned with states marked in one way or another by the controversy, such as EAU, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia (or in this case Israel) can become watchmaking pumps. And that is something that transcends Spain. What happened? We said it before: that very much that of 2025 will not be the return of Vingegaardnot that of his team, Visma Lease-A-Bike. The prominence has been monopolized by another group for reasons that have little to do with sport: Israel-Primer Tech (ITP)an UCI Pro Team qualification with Headquarters in Tel Aviv And in the hands of Sylvan Adamsan entrepreneur who It has not hidden His good harmony with Benjamin Netantayahu. Itp’s role as Israel representative in the middle of Gaza’s genocide has caused a deep discomfort in part of Spanish society, which has marked several stages of the cycling return with footprint protests. Has it so serious? Yes. We saw it Two weeks ago In Bilbao, where the protesters left moments of tension and forced those responsible for the return to end the stage Three kilometers Before the goal. It happened again in Galicia, where cyclists found even A tree crossed on the road. And he repeated himself yesterday on the final day, in Madrid. Not even the huge Police deploymentwith hundreds of police, he prevented the one who should be the golden clasp of the competition Be ruined: The stage ended earlier than expected, without podium. In between about twenty stages marked by the controversy and an increasing tension that even led the technical director of the competition, Kiko García, to slide that he only saw “a solution” to the problem: that IPT itself understood that its presence between the squad compromised the test. Little served. Nor that neither Threats of the cyclists to stand up to the Tel Aviv team, which only lent themselves to Delete the mention To your country in the jersey. Why is it important? Beyond what he has implied for the 2025 Vuelta, one of the great appointments of international cycling, what happened on the roads of Spain reveals some things about cycling and of course the future of Israel First-Tech. His odyssey in the Iberian competition may have finished, but in Quebec he has already encountered similar protests of annoying activists for their participation in the city grand prize. At the moment IPT He has resigned to take a measure similar to the one he adopted in Spain and retouch his name. The objective is to save episodes such as those lived in recent weeks in Spain, very difficult to avoid in great tests such as the return. Cycling has a world audience that follows its evidence through traditional networks, websites and media, as well as basketball or tennis, but unlike those sports, their competitors beat copper in kilometric stages, impossible to control one hundred percent, as well as well Madrid has proven. Click on the image to go to Tweet. Is it the only problem? No. What happened in Spain reminds us of something else: the ‘watchmaking pump’ that the equipment that in one way or another is linked to controversial states, either through sponsorship or financing or (IPT case) for its clear alignment with their governments. An especially serious problem when we talk about cyclist tournaments in which, as we pointed out before, it is almost impossible to have total control over the layout and prevent protests. It is not something exclusive to the Vuelta, nor from Israel-Primer Tech and the state of Israel. United Arab Emirates is represented, for example, the UAE Team Emirates XRGa professional team of the UCI WTORLDTEAM category that assures which aims to “represent the entire nation.” In front it has Kill Suhail Al Yabhouni, trusted man of the heir prince of Abu Dhabi, and among his sponsors includes key signatures of the country, such as Emirates, FAB either Ich. The Australian team Jayco Alula (UCI Worldteam) also counts among its main sponsors to Al-ulain Saudi Arabia. And something simulate occurs in Baréin, represented in professional cycling by TEAM BAHRAIN VICTORIOUSwhich as they recognize have “A strong connection” With the kingdom, a link “represented by the proud support of the Bahréin Economic Development Board, Bapco, Batelco, the Bahréin National Bank, to Salam Bank and Alba, among others.” And the case of Israel Tech-Premier? IPT is marked by its link with Israel and the tune of one of its maximum responsible with Netanyahu. That has weighed in his participation in the return and promises to do it in Other competitions. In his Official website The team does not cite the Hebrew State as a direct financier and Its origins (11 years ago, like Israel Cycling Academy) They were marked by the involvement of businessman Ron Baron and the former Ran Margaliot. However, the team has been positioning itself as an informal representative of the country worldwide. In fact claims that “he sees himself as an ambassador.” Since 2022 its main sponsor is the Canadian company Premier Tech and the main figure at the head of the team is Sylvan Adamsa millionaire with A key weight in the World Jewish Congress to whom It is attributed A narrow friendship with Netanyahu and the Sportwashingimage washing through sport. “In physical war we have done miracles with things that seem science fiction, but in the war of communications we are failing miserable,” I lamented recently Adams in JNS. “The situation is getting worse and worse for us and this manifests itself in the terrible anti -Semitism in the world. … Read more

‘La Revuelta’ and ‘El Hormiguero’ do not face a war of audiences, but politics lies, and yesterday we saw the first exhibition

by

As they say in the series: “In the last season of ‘La Revuelta’ vs. ‘El Hormiguero’ …”. And the last thing that happened is that after the Zambombazo de las Campanadas With Broncano and Lalachus in La1, The audiences were retreating timidly and ended with a clear victory of ‘El Hormiguero‘. Not sweeping, but winning consistently every night. Does that want to say that this season the waters are going to calm down and ‘La Revuelta’ will admit his quiet defeat, letting motorcycles reign? Not remotely … The audiences. After sweeping Monday with football, on Tuesday 9 she marked the return of ‘La Revuelta’, after a week in which Motos already had her new season at solo. Broncano stayed on Tuesday only a few tenths of his competitor (16.4% compared to 16.8%). Last night the distance increased, getting closer to what we saw in spring (16.5% of ‘El Hormiguero’ against 15.1% of ‘La Revuelta’). They are figures that give us an overview, but not detailed of what happened yesterday, since among other things and how we have spoken other times, Broncano does not announce your guestswith what does not depend on their potential to propel their figures. What happened yesterday was a especially tense night, with two unusually politicized and strident guests. Mariló Montero against Broncano. Invite Montero to the set of ‘La Revuelta’ It seemed a counterfit idea, although there was an excuse: he is a contestant of the new edition of ‘Master Chef’, but a good part of his career has passed as a combative conservative speaker in large audience programs as ‘Public mirror’ or in La1 itself, whose morning magazine presented between 2009 and 2016. The interview with Broncano was so tense that, for the first time, the guest did not sit to sit. They were discussed, from absolutely contrary positions, issues such as bullfighting (Defender one, Antitaurino the other) or freedom of expression (the famous and so relative “nothing can be said” that so often comes up in ‘El Hormiguero’). The interview was embedded in a tense atmosphere and between accusations not veiled that Broncano had been finger by the government to propaganda. Montero, however, was in a hostile environment: it was booed and its arguments were dismantled almost without opposition. Broncano preached for converts and the program served to strengthen his audience and positions. Nacho Cano and Motos. For its part, ‘El Hormiguero’ He invited a lavish Nacho Cano to his setwho sowed his appearance of shocking statements: he assured that he lives with fear and that he keeps money so that, in case of being killed, “those who do it, pay it.” He said that “I fear that they hit me” three days after denouncing by prevarication (For the third time) To the judge who brought the Malinche case, already filed. He aited the government of being a criminal gang, told the Police as part of the conspiracy and said that only the Civil Guard can save us from this union. Leaving aside the crazy accusations of canoe, the truth is that his words were dyed of a fury somewhat out of control and clearly politicized. And that, on the one hand they contrasted with that idea that “nothing can be said” and, on the other hand, that only the1 is politicized. Hostilities are intensified. The impression that leaves us on the tense night of Wednesday 9 is that both programs have drawn the heavy weapons to combat their rival from the beginning. Motos has taken three conservative icons this week such as Bertín Osborne, Arturo Pérez-Reverte and Nacho Cano, and Broncan Ampendera on the left. The numbers no longer. Perhaps because they know that if the PSOE government ends ‘the revolt’ it can have the days counted (it does not matter or not: that is the vision of the program), and perhaps the fight for audiences, Broncano and theirs may have chosen to intensify the fight in the political mud. Bringing Montero to ridicule it is not exactly the most elegant of the movements, but the presence of Nacho Cano in ‘El Hormiguero’ was able to be squeaky even for the regular motorcycles, given the extravagance (and radicality) of the guest. If this has done nothing but start, we will be entertaining this course.

Nvidia lost 265,000 million dollars yesterday. Tariffs have caused terror among technology

by

Nvidia lost 265,000 million dollars yesterday. It was an especially Aciaga for her, with 8.69% fall in the value of her action, but the day was dyed red throughout the technology industry. The trigger for that setback in the bags was clear: the tariffs. Donald Trump confirms tariffs. After announce tariffs to Canada and Mexicothe US president initially postponed his application, but yesterday announced that they would definitely enter into force as of today. It is a controversial measure that will make imports from Mexico and Canada apply 25%tariffs, which will make these goods more expensive. Immediate drop in bags. Trump’s announcement caused a clear collapse of several technological actions, but Nvidia was undoubtedly one of the most affected, with a fall of 8.69%. Intel lost 4.05%, Broadcom by 6.05%, and supermicro 13%. The red numbers were seen in much of the technological market, with all the great affected, although to a lesser extent than Nvidia. The indices confirm the fall. As They point The Kobeissi Letter analysts, the S&P index already opened down, and Trump’s announcement quickly precipitated the fall: in just six hours the values ​​included in this index had lost more than 100 points, about 1.5 billion dollars jointly. Nvidia’s shares has returned to September 2024 levels. Source: Google Finance. Relationship with Mexico. Although most Nvidia chips are manufactured in Taiwan, some of their most advanced systems and equipment based on these chips are manufactured in other regions that include both the US and Mexico. That means that these products would be affected by these tariffs. Curiously, Trump’s announcement did nothing but reaffirm Mexico’s plans with the Foxconn plant in Jalisco: it will be the most important assembly factory of the GB200 cards with Nvidia Blackwell architecture, and those responsible for They promised which will be finished in a year despite tariffs. TSMC and its project in the US. Trump took advantage of a conference yesterday to confirm The announcement of TSMC, which will invest 100,000 million dollars more – he had yet paid 65,000 million – in manufacturing plants on American soil. Nvidia indicated in CNBC that would manufacture chips in those facilities, which would allow tariffs. In Nvidia they are still optimistic. In spite of everything, Huang Indian A few days ago this second quarter of the year promises to be positive for the company. Everything has already prepared to manufacture their new chips with Blackwell architecture, and have corrected the defects that were detected in the first phases of production. Crypts also collapse. He announcement of strategic cryptor He had promoted the value of cryptocurrencies, but yesterday’s events also remarkably affected this market. Bitcoin lost more than 8%value, Ethereum almost 15%, XRP 17.61%, Solana 19.57%and adapt 18%. These were the five cryptocurrencies mentioned by Trump for that initiative, and the fall was huge in all of them.

Elon Musk has been cutting the US government for weeks. Yesterday Milei gave him a chainsier to celebrate it

by

Javier Milei is not going through the best of his political moments after the second accusation of fraud with cryptocurrencies of his career, for the controversial public support of the president of Argentina to The cryptocurrency $ libra. Milei has chosen to get away from all that controversy and travel to the US to personally give Elon Musk the Symbol of cuts In his legislature: a chainsaw. For his speech, in addition to the chainsaw, Elon Musk wore large sunglasses, gold chains around his neck and a black magician cap, alluding to The Musk Meme generated by AI that have circulated through their social network since the Doge project was known. Sunglasses and chainsaw in a political scenario Elon Musk was not planned to participate in the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) that the Republican party is celebrating near Washington, but finally, an effusive Elon Musk took the stage for Rob Schmitt, a Newsmax presenter, to do an interview of which The Verge has published a transcription. The millionaire took the stage dressed in a shirt in which you could read “I am not postponing anything, I am doing secondary missions”, a thick gold chain, black magician cap and huge sunglasses that hid their eyes during the entire interview . Musk He entered greeting to an audience delivered and effusively raising their arms, although without Make Roman threats In your celebrations. After the initial greetings, Musk exclaimed: “President Milei has a gift for me”, just before Javier Milei entered the scene giving the magnate a chain that Musk did not hesitate to fly euphoric exclaiming: “This is the chainsaw of the bureaucracy!”. An interview that raised suspicions After the delivery, the Argentine president was completely ignored by both Elon Musk and the presenter, so he went to the back of the stage resisting to abandon him without saying goodbye to the millionaire, who continued to stir the chainsaw from one end to the other of the stage. Completed the “Performance” of the chainsaw, Elon Musk and the presenter set out to start an interview. Musk broke the ice confessing: “I have become a meme” and “My mind is a storm.” Faced with the journalist’s questions, Musk answered babbling and with certain difficulties in articulating complete phrases, forcing the presenter to guide Musk’s answers during his interview. This behavior did not go unnoticed to the audience, which immediately shared it into a wave of messages, turning the word “Ketamine“In tendency in X during his speech.” Elon can barely form a prayer at this time, ” wrote The journalist Aaron Rupar in his X account. The legal analyst Ken White, too He showed his surprise Given Musk’s difficulties to maintain a fluid conversation. The comedian Gabe Sanchez went a little further pointing to the origin of the problem: “POV: you just took a ton of ketamine and went on stage,” wrote on his X profile. It is not very common to see Elon Musk doing an interview with sunglasses. Previously, Musk had received Javier Milei in one of the private rooms of the Convention Center where the Republican event is celebrated. In a Video of that meeting Published by Javier Milei, it can be seen how the Argentine President enters the stay. Elon Musk does not have the glasses on that time but, before greeting Milei, Musk puts the sunglasses when he warns that they are recording him. Touch the image to go to the original message Elon Musk has already recognized in the past being a ketamine consumer by medical prescription To treat depression. Although an investigation of the WSJ revealed that the erratic behavior that the millionaire has sometimes shown could be due to the cocktail formed For this substance with stressthe insomnia, the Asperger syndrome and the bipolar disorder suffered by Musk. Beyond the medical use of ketamine, Elon Musk has been in favor of the Use of microdosis of hallucinogenic substances. A very widespread practice In the high venture spheres of Silicon Valley.
