The NVIDIA GeForce RTX A2000 SFF graphics card has been custom modded by a user at the SFF.Network with a passive heatsink. Custom Modded NVIDIA RTX A2000 SFF Graphics Card With Passive Cooler Runs Just As Good & Quiet User REVOCCASES on the website SFF.Network (smallformfactor.net) modded the NVIDIA RTX A2000 graphics card which he terms the KalmX edition, a callback to the Palit GTX 1650 KalmX edition which featured a passive heatsink. Since there's no official passive-heatsink for the NVIDIA RTX A2000, the modder decided to use the Arctic ACCELERO S1 R2 cooler, and an additional CNC machined copper plate for the design. The card measures 135mm x 220mm and offers two slots on one end. A custom baseplate had to be made to allow compatibility with the NVIDIA RTX A2000 graphics card. As for the NVIDIA RTX A2000 itself, it is one of the smallest workstation graphics cards that is based on the GA106 GPU with 3,328 CUDA cores and has a 6 GB 192-bit memory interface. The card sips in just 70W of power but with a custom V/C curve, the modder was able to get around 1500 MHz at just 750mV. t works great! [E]ven at stock settings it does not throttle and performs just as good as with the noisy stock cooler. For best (passive-) cooling and performance however, it would be ideal to place the GPU in a traditional layout case to support natural airflow trough the fins and adjust the V/C curve in afterburner to something like 1500 Mhz @ 750mV. As for temperatures, the passively-modded NVIDIA RTX A2000 graphics card was able to sit between 65-75C temperatures which is really good for a small design such as this card but most importantly, the card performs just as well as it did with its stock active cooler but minus the loud noise that the blower cooler produced. That's a win-win but we have to keep in mind that this can not be done by standard consumers as custom-modding a heatsink and a stock graphics card does require some form of expertise. Overall, a passive cooled solution means that you don't need to worry about loud noises while you are running those workstation workloads on your SFF Mini PCs. https://wccftech.com/nvidia-rtx-a2000-sff-graphics-card-modded-with-passive-heatsink-runs-just-as-good-minus-the-noisy-stock-cooler/1 point

A few hours ago, modder PureDark shared a brief DLSS 3 mod The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim video showcase on YouTube, demonstrating the work-in-progress of his DLSS Frame Generation implementation into The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. As covered in our previous report, PureDark was initially testing a DLSS 3 mod in Elden Ring, but there were several issues with that implementation. To get a better understanding of what was going wrong with it, the modder decided to implement DLSS Frame Generation in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim since he has a lot of experience with the Creation Engine, having previously released DLSS 2 (Super Resolution) mods for both Skyrim and Fallout 4. In the test video, the DLSS 3 mod doubles the frame rate of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim compared to using only DLSS Super Resolution. The modder also showed a built-in tool to simulate additional CPU load as a test for those configurations that might be bottlenecked by the CPU. Those are the cases that DLSS Frame Generation was designed to overcome since it creates entirely new frames without even passing from the CPU. The chief example was Microsoft Flight Simulator, which didn't get any meaningful improvement with DLSS Super Resolution but has its frame rate doubled when using DLSS Frame Generation. The issue with Reflex remains, though, so the latency isn't properly lowered at this time. PureDark signaled the problem on NVIDIA's Streamline GitHub; we've also forwarded it to NVIDIA PR, so hopefully, it'll get escalated and resolved sooner than later. This first DLSS 3 mod for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim could open the way to many more, starting with the Elden Ring one. All of this modding work is possible thanks to NVIDIA's decision to publically share the plugin as part of the Streamline SDK update that became available at the recent Game Developers Conference 2023. DLSS 3 is already receiving an extremely fast adoption rate compared to other upscaling technologies (including its sibling DLSS 2), but it is unlikely it will ever be added to an already-released game. That's why DLSS 3 mods can greatly increase the mileage that GeForce RTX 40 Series owners get out of their graphics cards, the only ones to support Frame Generation at this time. The technology is based on the Optical Flow Accelerators, which are also available in previous RTX generations. Still, NVIDIA said the ones included in Ada Lovelace's new architecture are much faster and more accurate, making them capable of generating the frame in a timely and appropriate fashion. https://wccftech.com/dlss-3-mod-test-shows-skyrim-running-at-2x-frame-rate/1 point

NVIDIA's GeForce RTX 4060 Ti custom models have started popping up in online databases & we now know the clock speeds of one such model. NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Ti Custom Models Show Up With Up To 2580 MHz Clocks, Performance Should Be On Par With RTX 3070 Ti The clock speeds come from TechPowerUp's GPU Database editor, T4C Fantasy, who has shared the specifications for Colorful's iGame GeForce RTX 4060 Ti Ultra W OC graphics card. This model features a custom design that includes a non-reference PCB and cooling solution and comes with factory overclocks of up to 2580 MHz which is a 45 MHz boost over the reference clock speeds. It looks like the overclocks won't be as big as we saw with the RTX 4070 variants but your games will still be able to squeeze in some extra performance. Other than that, T4C Fantasy also reports that the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Ti is still showing up with 8 GB GDDR6 VRAM. While that might change, earlier rumors have pointed to 8 GB and if that really ends up being the case, it will be kind of a letdown considering the RTX 3060 had 12 GB of GDDR6 VRAM and while the 3060 Ti went with 8 GB, it didn't have its bus interface at 128-bit. Both last-gen 3060 series cards featured 192 and 256-bit bus interfaces respectively. A 128-bit solution on the RTX 4060 series would suggest that they will most definitely be targeting 1080p gamers and the extra cache might compensate for some form of entry-level 1440p gaming on the Ti variant. The GeForce RTX 4060 Ti is expected to utilize the AD106-350-A1 GPU core, a cut-down version of the full AD106 graphics chip, and based on rumors, it should pack 34 SMs or 4352 CUDA cores, an 8 GB GDDR6 memory running at 18 Gbps across a 128-bit bus interface, providing the card with 288 GB/s of bandwidth. There's also 32 MB of L2 cache on board the GPU which is an 8x increase over the GeForce RTX 3060 Ti. Using the rumored "reference" boost frequency as a reference, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Ti should offer around 22 TFLOPs of compute performance with AIB models boosting it close to 24 TFLOPs. Based on the numbers above, it looks like the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Ti graphics card is going to end up similar to the GeForce RTX 3070 Ti in performance. The 3070 Ti launched at $599 US so the 4060 Ti would have to be positioned close to $399 US to make it a worthy successor to the 3060 Ti which also had the same MSRP. https://wccftech.com/nvidia-geforce-rtx-4060-ti-custom-model-clocks-revealed-up-to-2580-mhz-performance-on-par-with-rtx-3070-ti/1 point

The Super Mario Bros. Movie has been out for just over a week now, and while critical opinion is somewhat split, the movie is a runaway success at the box office. With only nine days of returns, Variety reports that Mario and friends have already raked in $500 million at the box office (around $260 million in North America and $248 million in the rest of the world). The movie is the highest-grossing film of 2023 thus far, bumping off Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania. Perhaps a bigger deal, is the fact that The Super Mario Bros. Movie is now the most successful video game movie adaptation of all time. The previous record-holder was the Warcraft movie (remember that?) which brought in $439 million. Other high-earners included Detective Pikachu ($433 million) and Sonic the Hedgehog 2 ($403 million). As you can see, in the past, even successful video game movies seemed to struggle to surge beyond that low-400-million range, but Mario’s left it in the dust. In fact, the Mario movie is currently trending ahead of Avatar: The Way of Water domestically, which made “only” $231 million in North America in its first nine days. So, what can we attribute The Super Mario Movie’s massive success to? While some have found the film unambitious, and (in the words of Wccftech’s own Ule Lopez) “average at best,” I think its predictability is part of its success. Nintendo and Universal promised a faithful version of the characters and world millions of kids and adults alike love, and they delivered. And make no mistake, there’s nothing “lazy” about the Mario movie – it took six years to make with Shigeru Miyamoto himself being involved in the entire process. The end result is something a 30-or-40-something parent can go watch with their kids and enjoy on the same uncomplicated level. Yeah, the movie’s not perfect, but when it’s just a straightforward, hyped-up, cinematic version of that almost-universally-appealing Mario action, it’s a lot of fun. In addition to cleaning up at the box office, I suspect this movie is going to be a hit on home video and streaming for years to come. Haven’t been keeping up with the latest Super Mario Bros. Movie news? The flick’s post-credits scene definitely seems to be teasing a sequel, and the cast have endorsed doing a Luigi’s Mansion spinoff. https://wccftech.com/super-mario-bros-movie-biggest-gaming-adaptation-ever-500-million/1 point

Apple announced that it will be hosting its highly-anticipated WWDC 2023 event on June 5 where it will see fit to unveil the latest iOS 17, and iPadOS 17, along with other important software updates. At this point in time, little to no details are available regarding iOS 17. It was previously reported that the platform will feature a revamped Control Center. Now, a leaker has shared a list of potential features that will be coming with the release of iOS 17 later this year. Scroll down to read more details on the matter. iOS 17 to bring major changes to Dynamic Island, interactive Home Screen Widgets, custom Accessibility modes, more The anonymous leaker shared the details of potential iOS 17 features in a Twitter thread, highlighting what users should be looking forward to later this year. The source suggests that iOS 17 will greatly enhance the search functionality on the iPhone. While intricate details are not shared, Apple has already begun enhancing its search with the release of iOS 16 and it will be further improved later this year. Apart from this, the Dynamic Island on the iPhone 14 Pro will gain numerous new additions with iOS 17 release. Since Apple is planning to introduce the pill-shaped cutout on all four models of the iPhone 15 series, it makes sense for the company to offer new features. The leaker did not share what we can expect from the feature but it could expand the functionality to additional apps. Other than this, the source also stated that Apple will also offer enhanced accessibility features that can be tailored to a user's personal preferences. It will allow the iPhone's interface to be customized to the user with elements catering to different features. Additionally, iOS 17 will also offer further customization options for the Lock Screen with more Focus modes. iOS 17 is also expected to bring various changes to the Camera and Health app. Apple is on the verge of unveiling its upcoming AR Headset and iOS 17 is slated to gain numerous ARKit frameworks. It was originally believed that iOS 17 will be a minor update focusing on performance and stability with "maintenance" as the key element this year. It was later reported that iOS 17 will be a major update as it will bring a boatload of front-facing features to the table, including a revamped Control Center. Image Credits: AppleTrack Take note that these are mere speculations at this point and the company could alter its plans at the last minute as it sees fit. We will keep you guys updated on the latest, so be sure to stick around. Let us know your thoughts in the comments below. https://wccftech.com/ios-17-leaked-features-and-changes/1 point

Did you know that there are more than 7 thousand varieties of apples in the world and that only 9 of them arrive in Mexico? Mexico City.- Fruits, in addition to being delicious, are a source of essential nutrients for the body, but did you know that there are more than 2,000 different varieties in the world and that the most po[CENSORED]r is the apple? In Mexico you can find 9 different varieties that come from the state of Washington in the United States; however, there are more than 7 thousand varieties around the world. This fruit, in addition to having a diversity of colors and sweetness in its different varieties, has many curiosities that make it interesting, so here we show you some of them. Exclusive apple orchards To begin with, you should know that there are orchards where only apples grow and that the fruit we eat is the apple blossom. If you open an apple, you will find its seeds and each one has between 6 and 10 of them. To make a natural apple juice, you only need 3 pieces and if you like acidity and put chamoy or chili on it, you must choose green apples, these are called Granny Smith. Apple skin can vary in colors from red to green; some even have yellow and red stripes (and/or dots that resemble a galaxy like the Cosmic Crisp), this skin has a high fiber content that benefits your digestion and keeps us satisfied for longer. Apples, a source of vitamin C Apples can also be a good source of vitamin C which improves the functioning of your body, benefits iron absorption and benefits the appearance of your skin; In addition to keeping your muscles healthy and your bones strong and not only that, they are made up of 90% water along with fructose and glucose, important carbohydrates that provide the energy necessary to prevent fatigue and focus on our daily tasks. “The apple is a very complete fruit that, in addition to providing many health benefits, is ideal to take anywhere and eat whenever you want. You can eat it alone or accompany it with ice cream, honey, nuts, whatever you want!" said Juan Carlos Moreira, representative of the Washington Apple Commission in Mexico. It may interest you: The apple season begins in September, so from November to June you can enjoy all its varieties in Mexico, among the most po[CENSORED]r are Gala, Golden, Granny Smith, Fuji, Cosmic Crisp, Honey Crisp. https://www.elimparcial.com/estilos/Curiosidades-sobre-las-manzanas-que-tal-vez-desconocias-20230413-0031.html1 point

Pablo Arosemena will meet with representatives of the IMF, the World Bank and the IDB. Ecuador could apply to lines of credit for natural disasters. The Minister of Economy and Finance, Pablo Arosemena Marriott, this morning began his schedule of meetings with multilateral organizations to strengthen economic cooperation and investment in the country. The Secretary of State traveled to Washington to attend the annual spring meetings of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank (WB), in which the Latin American Economy Ministers and representatives of multilateral organizations, including the Inter-American Bank, will participate. Development Bank (IDB), reported the ministry. Arosemena's meetings with multilateral organizations, according to the State portfolio, will allow access to more financial facilities to face current emergencies such as the earthquake, landslides and floods. The ministry indicated that fiscal soundness is the country's letter of introduction and that this way more resources will be obtained to guarantee the well-being of Ecuadorians. On the subject, Alberto Acosta Burneo, editor of Análisis Semanal, explained that although Ecuador has exhausted its quota with the Monetary Fund, there are programs and lines of credit that are associated with reconstruction issues due to natural disasters to which Ecuador could have access. Among them is the resiliency fund line, created for post-COVID rebuilding. In this, Ecuador could reach a credit for $ 1,300 million. There are also others from the IDB and WB to which it could apply. This financing is necessary if one takes into account that in the pro forma budget it was planned to issue debt bonds as part of the financing sources, but with the high country risk it is no longer possible to do so. This indicator stood at 1,953 points as of April 11, 2023. Ecuador has recently suffered an earthquake with its epicenter on Puná Island, as well as severe flooding and a landslide in Alausí that has caused human and economic losses. A few weeks ago, the pumping of crude oil had to be suspended due to problems related to rains and regressive erosion in the Marker River sector. Meanwhile, for Acosta Burneo currently the fiscal situation is better than that of past years. It is the first time in ten years that there has been a fiscal surplus, he says. In any case, there is always fear in the markets that the next government to come will be one that opens the spigot of spending, without considering the consequences of over-indebtedness. Agenda with international authorities Minister Arosemena participated this Wednesday in the "Governing Effectively During Challenging Times" which means governing effectively in difficult times. In this space, he highlighted the successful vaccination plan for COVID-19 carried out by the government of Guillermo Lasso and explained the social milestones achieved thanks to the fiscal order in the Government of Ecuador. According to the ministry, the meeting in Washington will also be an opportunity to show the world business options and secure financing for large investments in the country. It is done with the future in mind and will serve to lay the foundations of a State policy for the benefit of future generations. Within his work schedule, the minister will meet with Janeth Yellen, Secretary of the United States Treasury; Ilan Goldfajn, president of the IDB; Carlos Felipe Jaramillo, regional vice president of the World Bank; among others, with whom a greater economic support for Ecuador will be analyzed. These meetings will be essential for the development of the country. They allow attracting capital and accessing additional resources to deal with emergencies. https://www.eluniverso.com/noticias/economia/ministro-de-economia-esta-en-washington-en-busca-de-facilidades-financieras-e-inversion-nota/1 point

Thanks to their prodigious sense of smell and their ability to retain behavior patterns, dogs are able to detect the most subtle changes in their environment and thus know, in their own way, what time it is. Anyone who has lived with dogs will have noticed that they often seem to know when it is time for a walk, meal time, or even when a family member is about to return home. And it is completely true: although the concept itself is something human, dogs know exactly what time it is. Or rather, when it is their turn to do certain things. At a less conscious level, the dog's own body knows what time it is due to day and night cycles, which affect not only light intensity but also variations in temperature. But the best friend of the human being also has other mechanisms to determine at all times the passage of time, the routines of the people with whom he lives and when the time for his favorite activities approaches... or detested. Masters of tracking and observation The most powerful of these mechanisms is their extraordinary sense of smell, which is between 10,000 and 100,000 times more powerful than humans, so that changes in the environment that are imperceptible to us are evident to them. Dogs have a built-in biological clock: the nose, that is, their nose. Each person – each being, in fact – has a unique smell, which comes mainly from the particles that come off the skin. Even if someone leaves the house, his characteristic odor remains in these particles. This smell, however, fades as the hours go by, and this is where the dogs' olfactory arsenal comes into play: by licking the truffle, apart from hydrating it, they are capturing these odorous particles and transmitting them to their smell, which is so powerful. that is capable of determining the concentration of these. If the inhabitants of the house follow regular schedules, the variation in that concentration tells them how long it has been since someone left and, therefore, when they are likely to return. The variation in the concentration of a person's scent tells dogs how long it has been since someone left the house. Dogs are actually able to "smell" time in a similar way to how a person would determine it by looking at an hourglass or water glass. Alexandra Horowitz, Ph.D. in Cognitive Science and author of several books on canine behavior, explains how odors in a room move as the day progresses: “Hot air rises and generally circulates in currents throughout along the walls to the ceiling, it heads towards the center of the room and falls. If we could visualize the movement of air throughout the day, what we are really visualizing is the movement of odor throughout the day." These odor cycles are also what allow them to anticipate daily activities that occur at set times, such as eating or walking. https://www.nationalgeographic.com.es/ciencia/perros-y-su-curiosa-manera-saber-hora_177181 point

The BMW XM was presented with various titles that gave it power. It was the first stand-alone BMW M model since the BMW M1. Also the first with the surname Motorsport in plug-in hybrid format. It was even anticipated that it could become the most powerful M ever made. That honor was reserved for its top-of-the-range variant, which had been announced, but about which very specific details had not been given. Now we have all the information on the BMW XM Label Red and it is as surprising as promised. The M Hybrid propulsion system debuts, which combines a 4.4-liter V8 biturbo combustion engine with an electric block integrated into the eight-speed M Steptronic gearbox. The first already reaches 585 hp on its own, while electricity provides another 145 additional kW. If we speak in absolute terms, the XM Label Red reaches a combined power of 748 hp and 1,000 Nm of torque. Heart-stopping figures for the most powerful M ever, which also benefits from M xDrive all-wheel drive. The result is benefits that would bring out the colors of many sports cars. It accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.8 seconds and its speed can go up to 290 km/h with the optional M Driver's Package. At the chassis level, we must highlight the M xDrive system with several modes and the M Sport differential. Although what is surprising is that it is still a plug-in hybrid that thanks to a 25.7 kWh battery allows it to offer an electric range of between 75 and 83 kilometers. Recharging can be done in a 7.4 kW Wallbox in four and a quarter hours, although it also accepts fast charges. On an aesthetic level, the BMW XM Label Red wants to wink at the legendary BMW M1, always keeping its distance. Among its specific elements we see some exterior trim in metallic Toronto Red, giving prominence to red, which also appears in the logos and in the inserts of the wheels, which are 21-inch and specific. The model can be chosen in one solid color and eight metallic variants, in addition to more than 50 BMW Individual special paint finishes. Inside, that combination of black and red is also chosen, very present in the sports seats, in some moldings or in contrasting stitching. You cannot miss other distinctive details in carbon fiber or the plate with the model number. The technology is provided by the BMW Curved Display and the BMW Head-Up Display as standard, with information from M. Its equipment includes the optional Bowers & Wilkins Diamond sound system or the roof with indirect lighting thanks to its 100 LED units. . The BMW XM Label Red Limited that has been presented as a launch edition is a limited example of which only 500 units will be made. They are distinguished by bodywork in BMW Individual Frozen Carbon Black, with many exterior details in Toronto Red and some surfaces in a matt finish. https://noticias.coches.com/noticias-motor/bmw-xm-label-red-2023/488705?foto=121 point

Ex-smokers who maintain a healthy lifestyle have a lower risk of dying from any cause than those who don't, according to a new study by researchers at the National Cancer Institute (NCI)Exit Disclaimer, part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH). Healthy habits. The decreased risk of death was seen for specific causes, including cancer and heart and lung disease. The findings could have important consequences for the 52 million former smokers in the United States. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle, defined by being physically active and eating a healthy diet, was associated with a 27% decreased risk of death during the follow-up period of more than 19 years, compared with not maintaining a healthy lifestyle. The findings, published September 22, 2022, in the JAMA Network Open, stem from an analysis of a large group of former smokers who participated in the NIH-American Association of Retired Persons (AARP) Diet and Health Study. . Maki Inoue-Choi, M.D., of the National Cancer Institute's Division of Cancer Epidemiology and Genetics, the paper's lead author, said: "I was surprised to see the close relationship [with lifestyle]." "Former smokers who met the evidence-based recommendations for body weight, diet, physical activity, and alcohol consumption had a lower mortality risk than former smokers who did not." It is well known that quitting smoking has many health benefits, but former smokers are at greater risk of disease and premature death than people who never smoked. Previous studies have suggested that people who follow healthy lifestyle recommendations, such as maintaining a healthy body weight, being physically active, eating a healthy diet, and limiting alcohol consumption, may have a lower risk of disease and death. However, there are few studies that analyze the benefit of this compliance by ex-smokers. The current analysis included 159,937 former smokers who responded to questionnaires on lifestyle, demographics, and other health-related information between 1995 and 1996 when they enrolled in the NIH-AARP Diet and Health Study. The participants, whose average age at study entry was 62.6 years, were followed for about 19 years. During the follow-up period, which was until 2019, 86,127 participants died. Information on deaths, including causes, was obtained from the National Death Index (NDI). The investigators calculated a total compliance score for each participant that ranged from no compliance to full compliance. The total compliance score incorporated individual body mass index scores, according to World Health Organization guidelines; diet quality scores, based on the 2010-2015 Dietary Guidelines for Americans; physical activity scores, according to the Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans, second edition; and scores on alcohol consumption, according to the 2020-2025 Dietary Guidelines for Americans. Former smokers with the highest total adherence scores decreased their risk of death from any cause by 27%, compared with those with the lowest scores. Additionally, participants with the highest adherence total scores had a 24% decreased risk of death from cancer, a 28% decreased risk of death from cardiovascular disease, and a 30% decreased risk of death from respiratory disease. . The decreased risk of death was seen in all cases, regardless of health status, other conditions, the number of cigarettes the participants smoked per day, the years since they quit, or the age they started smoking. The researchers also evaluated the benefit of each of the lifestyle recommendations. The lowest risk of death was observed in people with the highest score of compliance with these recommendations: physical activity (17% less), body weight (14% less), quality of food (9% less) and consumption of alcohol (4% less). Dr. Inoue-Choi noted, "To get the most benefit, it's best to adhere to many lifestyle recommendations." "But even those who adopted a single lifestyle recommendation benefited." The researchers cautioned that studies based on human data only demonstrate associations, not establish cause and effect. Although the investigators controlled for many factors that often make interpretation of the data difficult, they do not rule out the possibility that other factors may have affected the observed associations. The researchers also noted that more studies are needed to explore the relationship between adherence to lifestyle recommendations and the risk of death among former smokers in more diverse po[CENSORED]tions. Dr. Inoue-Choi commented, "The NIH/AARP study included a po[CENSORED]tion that was predominantly white with relatively high socioeconomic status." "There is a need to answer these research questions for other po[CENSORED]tions."

More than half of the world's lithium is in Argentina, Bolivia and Chile, a triangle that has aroused the interest of governments and investors to enter these markets. Countries like China and the United States do not want to miss the opportunity to have a key metal to manufacture the batteries used by electric cars, an expanding market that more and more players are entering. "The main powers are fighting to get the minerals necessary for the energy transition and Latin America is a main battlefield," Benjamin Gedan, director of the Wilson Center's Latin America Program, told BBC Mundo. "The United States was late to the party and Washington is clearly eager for China's head start," he adds. Chinese companies have spent years looking for places to stock up on the so-called white gold in different parts of the world, especially in Latin America, where the world's largest reserves of the metal are. Bolivia leads the list with known reserves estimated at 21 million tons, followed by Argentina (19.3 million) and Chile (9.6 million), according to the US Geological Survey. And Mexico, although it only has 1.7 million tons (ranking ninth on the list), has become a relevant player in North America, not only because of its geographical proximity to the United States and Canada, but also because it is becoming a production center for electric cars (especially after the recent announcement of giants that will set up factories on its territory, such as Tesla and BMW). "Evil Activity" General Laura Richardson, head of the United States Southern Command, warned that China "continues to expand its economic, diplomatic, technological, informational, and military influence in Latin America and the Caribbean," during a presentation before the House Armed Services Committee. of Representatives in March. "This region is full of resources and I am concerned about the malign activity of our adversaries taking advantage of that. It appears that they are investing when in fact they are extracting," Richardson argued. On the "lithium triangle" in South America, made up of Argentina, Bolivia and Chile, he said that "China's aggressiveness and its play on the ground with lithium is very advanced and very aggressive." What does China say? Just as the United States and other countries are embarking on their plan to recover part of their energy independence, China has also been preparing for several years with an eye on the minerals most coveted by global trade, including lithium. "China has a high degree of foreign dependence on some important mineral resources, and once the international situation changes, it will certainly affect economic security or even national security," Natural Resources Minister Wang Guanghua said in early January. in an interview with the state news agency Xinhua. The government has included 24 strategic minerals in its National Mineral Resources Plan published in 2016. “With lithium, Latin America is at risk of repeating the movie of the extractivism of its minerals in exchange for a few coins” Among them are metals such as iron, copper, aluminum, gold, nickel, cobalt, lithium, and rare earths, in addition to traditional energy resources such as oil, natural gas, shale gas, and coal. The plan notes that minerals are key to "safeguarding national economic security, national defense security and the development of strategic emerging industries." Explosive increase in Chinese investment While Chinese companies are advancing in South America with gigantic mining investments, the triangle countries intend to take advantage of the technology and capital of Chinese companies with the aim of promoting local industrial development. In the first three months of this year alone, Chinese companies have closed ambitious deals to invest in Bolivia, Argentina and Chile. In Bolivia, Chinese firms CATL, BRUNP and CMOC have committed close to US$1 billion in lithium projects in the departments of Potosí and Oruro, according to the Atlantic Council think tank. In Argentina, the Chery Automobile company will invest some US$400 million in the construction of a plant to manufacture electric vehicles, possibly in Rosario. How Australia became the world's largest source of lithium (and how its extraction differs from that of Chile, Bolivia and Argentina) And in Chile, Tsingshan Holding Group, Ruipu Energy, Battero Tech, and FoxESS have committed to invest in a lithium industrial park in the city of Antofagasta, for an amount that is still unknown. The commercial relationship between Argentina and China has become increasingly close in lithium mining, with the announcement of at least nine investment projects in 2022 alone in the areas of Salta, Catamarca, and Jujuy. Technological and geopolitical competition between the giants According to the associate director of the Adrienne Arsht Latin America Center of the Atlantic Council think tank, Pepe Zhang, "The United States is actively seeking to strengthen its position in global supply chains of critical minerals and green technologies." In this context, "lithium is proving to be an increasingly critical area in the technological and geopolitical competition between the United States and China," he tells BBC Mundo. And China is going with its foot on the accelerator. This year, Zhang estimates, is shaping up to be an important one for the Asian giant's mineral investments in the region. Projections indicate that the US$1.4 billion committed for this year would exceed the US$1.1 billion investment in 2021 and 2020. "In January alone, we saw three Chinese companies commit to a US$1 billion investment in Bolivia," says the researcher. The "national security" factor The White House has also explicitly made securing a mineral supply chain one of its priorities for strategic reasons. "Critical minerals provide the building blocks for many modern technologies and are essential to our national security and economic prosperity," the Joe Biden government said in a statement last year. Minerals such as lithium, cobalt and rare earths, used in many products, ranging from computers to household appliances, and which are key inputs to produce technologies such as batteries and electric vehicles, wind turbines or solar panels. As part of the world tries to make progress in the transition to cleaner energy, global demand for these critical minerals "will skyrocket between 400% and 600% over the next few decades," the text says. And, he adds, for minerals such as lithium and graphite, "demand will increase even more, up to 4,000%." "A tug of war between Washington and Beijing" "China has an advantage because of Beijing's willingness to invest in battery production in Latin America," argues Gedan. While "The United States is mainly focused on acquiring raw materials for US companies to build green technologies." Faced with this dilemma, it is likely that Latin American countries consider the Asian offer more attractive than the traditional model of exporting their commodities with very little added value. "The United States is clearly eager to catch up," says the expert. "No wonder South America finds itself caught in a tug-of-war between Washington and Beijing." https://www.bbc.com/mundo/noticias-651836141 point

Undoubtedly, one of the greatest innovations that Sony has made with the launch of PlayStation 5 for the new generation is led by its controller. The DualSense is a wonderful controller, of that there is no doubt at this point. And additions as interesting as the variable tension of its triggers and a great vibration system mean that we are facing, probably, one of the best controls that exist today. Undoubtedly, one of the greatest innovations that Sony has made with the launch of PlayStation 5 for the new generation is led by its controller. The DualSense is a wonderful controller, of that there is no doubt at this point. And additions as interesting as the variable tension of its triggers and a great vibration system mean that we are facing, probably, one of the best controls that exist today. Taking into account that it is usually around 60 euros, getting the Razer Universal Quick Charging Stand for only 36.99 euros seems like a bargain. Because it is one of the best and most practical accessories that we can accompany our PlayStation 5 with. We are dealing with a base that perfectly adapts to the contour of the DualSense, which is powered by a USB cable and is capable of fully charging said controller in less than three hours. Available in various colors (this discounted one is white) and with great user ratings, this charging stand allows us to always have our DualSense controllers ready when starting a new game. And in addition to charging them, it serves to hold them: it is enough to leave our controller on it when we stop using it and, in addition to decorating, we make sure that when we return to it we will have it ready to play for another good handful of hours. https://www.3djuegos.com/seleccion/noticias/esta-base-carga-para-dualsense-deja-tus-mandos-ps5-siempre-a-punto-esta-oferta-tiene-precio-irresistible-razer1 point

The North American company confirms its support for the mobile experience in the midst of a wave of rumors with Warzone: Mobile. If you are a user of Call of Duty: Mobile, you can rest easy: Activision does not plan to do without the title anytime soon. In recent Activision statements, the company spoke of the possibility of replacing this game with the future Warzone Mobile, a proposal inspired by free to play for consoles and PC that has been so well received in recent years. However, as the VGC portal collects, the company itself has qualified its words to reassure the millions of players of the title. For this, the firm used the Twitter account of the mobile experience. In it, he shared a brief statement in which he pointed out that Call of Duty: Mobile is an "important part" of the entire Call of Duty franchise, an aspect to which its value must be added within the "global mobile strategy" of the company. Therefore, they confirmed their intention to "continue to support the game" thanks to a solid roadmap that will offer new content, different updates and various activities throughout the game's lifespan. Warzone: Mobile on the horizon of Call of Duty In this way, the North American firm has reassured the millions of players who enjoy Call of Duty: Mobile on a daily basis. As we revealed to you almost a year ago, the launch of this proposal resulted in more than 650 million downloads, a figure within the reach of very few experiences. For this reason, both Activision and Microsoft, the company's potential buyer, are aware of the impact that a bad move could have with this title, which is why they prefer to go carefully. According to VGC, the long-term plan of both companies is to replace this experience with Warzone Mobile, which is why a situation similar to that of Warzone 2.0 and Warzone: Caldera would be experienced on consoles and PC. However, following Activision's latest official statement, it seems that Call of Duty: Mobile still has some rope left for a while. Be that as it may, the coming months and the direction that the agreement between Activision and Microsoft takes will be decisive in knowing the future of the war franchise.

Although it is a software that prevents piracy, there are not few games that have experienced lower performance because of the program. Last March, Bethesda encouraged us with an ideal piece of news for fans of mystical experiences: GhostWire: Tokyo not only comes to Xbox consoles and Game Pass, but also releases an update called Spider's Thread Update, which includes new areas , deeper combat and a new game mode, among other things. However, with the launch happening today, the community is now surprised by the addition of the Denuvo anti-piracy system. And it is that, among all the novelties implemented in GhostWire: Tokyo, it turns out that this program is also included. It has been the DSO Gaming portal that has been able to confirm the data using a trick with which, by introducing some changes in the CPU, the game shows an authentication error. Denuvo has been harshly criticized by users because, while it does prevent illegal downloading of titles, it also significantly reduces the overall performance of the experience. The question here is the following: if GhostWire: Tokyo has been on the market for more than a year, why does it now include the Denuvo system? It is possible that this strategy responds to the launch on Xbox platforms, although there are those who suspect the future addition of an expansion with more content than the Spider's Thread Update. Be that as it may, all indications are that anti-piracy software will be in the Tango Gameworks game for a while. What did we think of GhostWire: Tokyo? Although Denuvo hurts many PC installments, it is currently one of the most common systems on the platform. So, if you intend to test the title taking advantage of the release of the new update, we recommend you take a look at our GhostWire: Tokyo analysis where we tell you the reasons why it is an experience to be taken into account by fans of fantastic action and gloomy settings. https://www.3djuegos.com/juegos/ghostwire-tokyo/noticias/ha-pasado-ano-su-lanzamiento-actualizacion-ghostwire-tokyo-incluye-sorpresa-polemico-denuvo-pc1 point
