US President Joe Biden welcomed his South Korean counterpart Yoon Suk Yeol to the White House and will give the green light to the "occasional" deployment of a nuclear submarine to strengthen his ally's security umbrella against Korea from North. President Yoon, on his six-day state visit, arrived to the cheers of hundreds of people gathered in front of the White House and received military honors. It is the second visit of this style by a foreign leader under the Biden presidency, after that of the French president, Emmanuel Macron, last D Just before the meeting, Biden hailed "an unbreakable bond" between the two countries and their "iron alliance" that began during the Korean War seven decades ago. Both leaders spoke in the Oval Office and then gave a joint press conference, before taking part with their wives in a gala dinner in the evening. In the midst of said joint pronouncement, the leader of the US Executive said that a nuclear attack by North Korea against the United States or its allies would be "unacceptable". Such an attack would “result in the end” of the regime, he stressed. On his South Korean counterpart's side, Yoon added that any response to a North Korean nuclear attack would include US atomic weapons. In his words, "our two countries agreed to immediate bilateral presidential consultations in the event of a North Korean nuclear attack and promised to respond swiftly, overwhelmingly, and decisively, using the full force of the alliance, including US nuclear weapons." . Regarding peace on the peninsula, he added: "We can achieve peace through the superiority of overwhelming force and not a false peace based on the goodwill of the other party." Before the geostrategic overtones meeting, senior officials stated that Presidents Biden and Yoon will announce measures aimed at strengthening deterrence against threats from the northern neighbor, including the scale of a nuclear submarine in South Korea for the first time in decades. The "occasional" deployment of this submarine equipped with ballistic missiles with a nuclear warhead is one of the main measures of a "Washington Declaration" that they will adopt this Wednesday. This declaration also establishes a mechanism for consultation and exchange of information with Seoul on nuclear matters, to consolidate the US security umbrella and reassure the South Korean ally. "The United States hasn't taken these steps, really, since the height of the Cold War with a handful of our closest allies in Europe," said an official who requested anonymity. "We try to make sure that by undertaking these new procedures, these new steps, our commitment to extended deterrence is unquestionable," he added. North Korea carried out a record number of ballistic missile launches this year. However, another official, who also requested anonymity, assured that the United States had no intention of stationing nuclear weapons in South Korea. In addition, Seoul will reiterate in the declaration its commitment not to equip itself with a nuclear arsenal. Possible tensions with China, facing the alliance between the United States and South Korea For the United States, it is about “making our deterrence more visible through the regular deployment of strategic assets, including a visit by a US nuclear ballistic submarine to South Korea, which has not happened since the early 1980s.” ″, the US official said. In addition to submarines, there will be "a regular cadence" of other platforms, "including bombers and aircraft carriers." However, there will be "no basis for these assets and certainly not for nuclear weapons," he added. An official said steps are being taken ahead of time to defuse potential tensions with China, due to these military decisions. “We have briefed the Chinese ahead of time and have laid out very clearly our reason why we are taking these steps,” the official said, adding that the Biden administration is “disappointed that China has not used its influence” in North Korea. Presidents Biden and Yoon will take other steps on economic, cyber, and climate change cooperation. The South Korean president arrived in the US capital on Monday. He visited Arlington Cemetery and NASA's Goddard Space Center near Washington on Tuesday, accompanied by US Vice President Kamala Harris. In the evening, together with Joe Biden, he visited the Korean War Memorial, located in central Washington, which displays life-size steel figures of soldiers patrolling during the Korean War (1950-1953) against the North. communist. https://www.elespectador.com/mundo/mas-paises/estados-unidos-y-corea-del-sur-responderian-a-un-ataque-nuclear-de-corea-del-norte-con-la-misma-fuerza-noticias-de-hoy/

Sega has proven to be able to laugh at itself. The company launched a video game at the beginning of the month in which it proposed to players to solve Sonic's murder. It came as a fool, but it took Steam by storm and amassed over a million players. What we did not know at the time is that this was not even going to be the rarest game released by the company during the month of April. Just a few days ago, a release arrived with much more serious intentions in the video game market, but which starts from an even more surreal premise. Sega wins the console war and takes over the world The game in question is exclusive to mobile phones, it is called 404 GAME RE:SET and has Yoko Taro (Drakengard, Nier) as creative director. The strange thing, however, we already said that it is in its premise. The video game is set in a parallel universe in which Sega won the console war with Nintendo and ended up dominating the world. In this parallel dimension, they are the rulers of a dystopia. They not only have power in entertainment, but also in construction or the military. In fact, in one of the cinematics they bomb a city without remorse. The word surreal almost falls short for us, because we never imagine a company putting itself in this situation. However, it also has a trick. The heroes who have to save the world are nothing more than the personified representations of the great licenses of the company. Virtua Racing, Fantasy Zone or House of the Dead become anime girls to fight corruption and put an end to this dystopia. Even so, it is surprising that the brand is positioned as an antagonist in a dystopia of these characteristics. As for the gameplay, the truth is that it is a much less groundbreaking section. The characters, which have different rarities and abilities, fire automatically as we move sideways dodging projectiles 'bullet hell' style. In addition, each of the heroines, which are obtained through micropayments based on random rewards, have a unique attack that deals more damage and grants certain buffs. Even so, this section is perhaps the least important. Unless we access the iOS or Android 'store' in Japan, we will not be able to play it. The truth is that the game has become a curious phenomenon. There is some interest in knowing what will happen if one day Sonic appears in this title, like the rest of the characters, turned into an anime girl. Despite everything, the title seems to be working relatively well. Before its premiere on April 17, it had 150,000 registered players, being exclusive to Japan. https://www.3djuegos.com/ios/noticias/sega-ha-creado-juego-que-domina-mundo-bombardea-a-civiles-inocentes-hay-sonic-podria-aparecer-como-chica-anime

When we talk about the great failures of Riot Games, it is normal to think of failures caused by the League of Legends development team. Champions with excessively abusive mechanics, not very fun elements like the old Technochemical Dragon or technical errors that cause 'bugs' in the games. However, there was at least one time when everything fell apart and it wasn't the developers' fault. The attitude of the community forced the cancellation of an idea that could have improved the title considerably. A Big Change to League of Legends Ranked The change we talked about was related to ranked matches and took place in 2019. That year, Riot Games tried to introduce what they called "Position Ranking". This system was quite simple and changed the idea of ranks in League of Legends. Instead of giving each player one spot in ranked matches, they would be given five: one for each of the roles that existed on Summoner's Rift. So, for example, you could be Gold 2 as a mid laner while Platinum 4 playing jungle. On paper the system was very good and Riot Games confessed to having two main goals. On the one hand, the system improved the quality of the matches "It gives us a better idea of your ability in each position. That way, we can create fairer games, regardless of the role you play." Plus, we had a standalone range that didn't lose us points in our main position and always gave us even matchups. So the theory was that players wouldn't bother as much – or even enjoy – playing a game out of position from time to time. It was an addition that recovered part of the spirit of the classic League of Legends. Although players could continue to play their preferred position for the most part, they could also test themselves in other roles. This was commonplace before the developers introduced favorite position selection, which has led to a hyper-specialization in the community. The idea was to give us all the good things about exploring the different positions of Summoner's Rift while trying to take the downside out of the experience. The reality, of course, was very different. This system was introduced to the North American and South Korean servers at the end of January 2019 as part of a testing program prior to its global expansion. On March 8, one of the top managers of the League of Legends ranks at the time, who is currently working on Riot Games' future MMO, published the following: "We have listened to your opinions on the ranks and today we announce that we will not continue moving forward with Position Ranking. We will also be conducting a partial MMR reset at Diamond and above." The reaction of the players was of joy. According to Riot Games' results, average player satisfaction with ranked matches had dropped by 20-30% during the testing period of this system. Something that was mainly due to human aspects and not design. Riot Games alluded to several reasons. The first was that players were dissatisfied with the increased need to grind to rank up. Here's the psychological reason: players felt the need to play more to move up through all five positions at once. In addition to this situation, which could have been fixed with different changes, there was a behavioral factor. As Riot Games itself explained, many players complained that their out-of-position teammates were not taking the game seriously. Instead of taking the opportunity to learn a new position and improve their overall proficiency in League of Legends, they used the reduced penalty for losing as an excuse not to push themselves. It was more common to find players with bad attitudes or, directly, giving away the games to the rival. https://www.3djuegos.com/juegos/league-of-legends/noticias/fue-uno-mayores-fracasos-riot-games-culpa-tuvieron-jugadores-comportamiento-comunidad-league-of-legends-hizo-fallar-gran-idea

At the end of last year, Turkish Aerospace Industries (TAI) removed the Hürjet from its hangar. A few months later he flew for the first time. this is what we know The first test flight took place on April 25, 2023. The aircraft did not fly alone, but accompanied by the fourth-generation Turkish F-16 Fighting Falcon fighter. The debut flight lasted 26 minutes before the Hürjet landed. The Turkish aircraft is equipped with the F404-GE-102 engine. The propulsion system has a thrust of 79 kG. The aircraft will have a speed of 1,715 km/h (M=1.4) and a range of more than 2,200 km. The TAI Hürjet will enter service with the Turkish Air Force within two years. TAI plans to produce two reactors a month. They will be the replacement for the Northrop F-5 and Northrop T-38 Talon. The Hürjet will be available in two variants. The training version of the plane will be used to train pilots for the F-35 Lightning II fifth-generation fighters, if the US sells them to Turkey, and the TAI-TF-X. TAI will also produce a fighter version called the Hürjet-C.

One of the most desperate problems for any user using electronic devices is that it takes a long time to perform any task. If, to that we add the time necessary for it to start correctly, the agony can become unbearable. Fortunately, if it is a Windows computer, the solution is very simple. Windows, unlike other electronic devices, mobile phones and tablets, allows us to make changes to the system to reduce the time that must pass from when we press the power button until we can interact with it smoothly. To do so, we just have to make some of the changes that we show you below. Delete home applications. Many are the applications that have the habit of automatically adding themselves to the start of Windows when we install them without asking for our permission. This practice makes our PC take longer to boot up since it has to run many applications while it is booting up, prolonging the time it takes to get ready to go. Disable WSL. For a few years, Windows has allowed Linux to be run through the operating system through the Windows Subsystem for Linux function, a function that is loaded during the computer startup once we have activated it, extending the time necessary for the computer to be running. . If we activate it at the time and we are not giving it any use, the best thing we can do is deactivate it. To deactivate it, we just have to access the Windows Features application through the search box and uncheck the Windows Subsystem for Linux box. Swap the hard drive for an SSD. If we want our Windows PC to take much less time to boot, the first thing we should do is replace the HDD with an SSD. Traditional HDDs store information on a physical disk that is read by a head that moves along it to access the information, while HDDs store all information digitally, just like any memory card, for so both access and reading are immediate. Disable fast startup. The function of the quick startup of Windows is to reduce the time needed from when we press the power button on our PC until it is ready to be used. This function does not actually shut down the computer, but dumps the contents of all open processes in the kernel so that they can be quickly restored without having to run them again. Unfortunately, it does not work as it should and the best we can do is disable it through the menu options Settings> System> Power and sleep within Additional power settings> Choose the behavior of the start/shutdown buttons Scan the storage unit for errors. Windows includes the SFC tool, a tool that is responsible for verifying whether there are damaged files on the computer that may be affecting the performance of the computer, specifically the files necessary for the computer to start, thus prolonging the time necessary for the computer to be Ready to work. To use SFC, we must access the command prompt through CMD with administrator permissions and type the following command. sfc /scannow This command will verify the integrity of the files and if it encounters any problems it will automatically repair the affected files. https://www.softzone.es/noticias/windows/soluciones-windows-tarda-mucho-arrancar/

For a few days now, reports have been coming from users who claim that their new AMD Ryzen 7000X3D series processors are burning... literally. So much so, and so serious is the problem, that motherboard manufacturers are rushing to release BIOS updates for their motherboards to limit the voltage going to the processor, so if you have one of AMD's newer processors , hurry to update the BIOS to prevent this from happening to you. Motherboard BIOS updates are generally not necessary “if everything works fine for you”, and we usually only update it when we have problems or when we want to perform a hardware update on the computer. Well, this is one of the situations in which everyone should update to avoid problems. Some AMD Ryzen 7000X3D burn up At the moment, the exact cause of the problem is unknown, but speculation points to the EXPO overclock profiles for DDR5 RAM, which require excessive voltage. There are many users posting photos of their processors and motherboards literally burned on social networks (and we are going to show you some), but you should know that, for now, there was a common denominator to whom this has happened: they had overclocked the processor . Some analysts claim that the problem is not related to the EXPO profile, but rather a design flaw in AMD processors related to the V-Cache CCD chiplet, unique to -X3D models, and in our opinion has quite a bit of sense for the simple fact that this problem doesn't seem to happen on "normal" processors without such a suffix Does this mean you are safe if your processor is not overclocked? Probably yes, but to avoid greater evils, better update the BIOS as soon as you can. What seems certain, and this is no longer speculation, but as a result of the notes from the manufacturers themselves that they publish together with the BIOS updates, is that by limiting the voltage that is delivered to the processor, the problem is solved. Update your BIOS before you have problems As we said, many manufacturers of AM5 motherboards are already launching BIOS updates that limit the voltage that reaches the processor, thus closing the issue. In theory there should not be any kind of performance loss due to this, although you should bear in mind that in all probability there will be limitations when applying higher voltages to overclock, something that, on the other hand, almost no user does. on your personal computer. Manufacturers like BIOSTAR have already sent a press release this morning explaining the problem and linking to the BIOS that we should download and install depending on the affected motherboard model: BIOSTAR X670E Valkyrie BIOSTAR Racing B650E GTQ BIOSTAR B650M Silver Other manufacturers such as ASUS or Gigabyte have not issued a specific press release for now to warn of these BIOS updates, but for example ASUS in its ROG STRIX X670E-E Gaming WiFi already have the BIOS on their website dated yesterday, although notifying that it is a Beta version (and they do specify that the BIOS is to limit the voltage of the processor). https://hardzone.es/noticias/procesadores/amd-ryzen-7000x3d-actualizar-bios/

A honey badger -Mellivora capensis- holds her own in a fight against a pride of lions in Selinda Game Reserve, Botswana. The brave mammal managed to take on eight lions and lived to tell the tale. Despite its smaller size, the brave mustelid snarled and threatened the bewildered cats with claws and teeth, who thought they would catch an easy meal. It soon became clear that the eight lions had bitten off more than they could chew. Kane Motswana, the 34-year-old guide from Selinda Reserve who witnessed the battle unfold, says: "The females were the ones who initially ran towards the honey badger and the subadult males joined soon after." However, they could do nothing against what is considered one of the fiercest animals in the animal kingdom. In fact, the ratel, as it is also known, is a very robust animal, whose strong fur is difficult to cross even for the powerful jaws of a lion, a leopard, or a pack of hyenas. It is a fierce, solitary and territorial animal that prefers to live in forested and semi-arid areas, whose strong jaws and sharp teeth allow them to keep the most fearsome predators at bay. Ratels are also extremely voracious, feeding on all kinds of prey, including some of the most venomous snakes in the world. Likewise, they are as capable of digging as they are of climbing trees, something they achieve thanks to the same sharp claws that allow them to open the beehives that delight them, which is why they receive their name. https://www.nationalgeographic.com.es/fotografia/foto-del-dia/verdadero-rey-africa_19761

Surely you have heard a lot about the metaverse, these open virtual spaces that were born from the world of video games and that, it is said, will be the future of social networks. Not that this idea is anything new at all, but today, thanks to personalization, connectivity, virtualization and data tools, they could take on a very high relevance for the younger generations. The people of Cupra are clear about it and it is for the same reason that in the framework of the Exponential Impulse, held at the Berlin-Tempelhof airport, the brand introduced us to the spectacular DarkRebel, but from the brand's own Metahype platform. Metahype is the metaverse of Cupra. A digital space created by the brand so that its fans and customers can interact and meet, share immersive digital experiences and participate in everything that has to do with the Cupra world. This digital environment is made up of different districts and common areas, which can be owned by brands, startups and creators. At the time of the inauguration, Metahype is distributed in three zones: Metahype square, the Cupra and Primavera Sound districts, being the "inhabitants" of the latter who were in charge of the music during the Exponential Impulse event. Users arrive first at Metahype Plaza, where they receive their Metahype Passport, a dynamic NFT that represents each Hyper (as the "citizens" of this world are called). Cupra developed a system inspired by the world of videogames, which rewards users with Hypes for their commitment and activity within the platform. Among the highlights to be found on Metahype is Cupra Next, a space where the audience can influence the future of Cupra by configuring their own version of the DarkRebel. This exercise will be key, because the brand seeks to demonstrate that design is a dialogue, a provocation, or at least something that generates an emotional reaction, rather than being an exercise to generate or predict trends. “Metahype is officially here. It is a space not only for Cupra, but also for brands, startups and creators to connect with the next generation. It provides a unique brand experience and engagement, with the aim of connecting different communities to unleash their creativity and collaborative power”, says Sven Schuwirth, COO of Cupra. “With this project we want to redefine the way in which people live experiences and feel emotions, beyond the limits of the physical world; it's what we call 'Exponential You.'” So imagine: you create your avatar, go dancing to Primavera Sound and then pick up your personalized DarkRebel to compete virtually with other users. All very Ready Player One, or not? Wayne Griffiths, CEO of Cupra, indicates: “After five years of building the Cupra brand in today's world, it is time to think about the next step. Our next dream. The Cupra DarkRebel is the definitive interpretation of our vision.” The DarkRebel is a major performance and design statement. Up to now Cupra has proposed new models in the tenor of the Formentor, Terramar and Tavascan (recently launched). We can ignore specific products like the Born or the Leon, but things point towards SUVs. However, the DarkRebel is a shooting brake, a format that continues to be disruptive and fits perfectly with the rebellious spirit of the brand. https://noticias.autocosmos.com.co/2023/04/24/cupra-darkrebel-concept-el-nuevo-objeto-de-deseo-del-mundo-virtual

The "dumbest" chimpanzees—that is, the most bullying, greedy, and ill-tempered of the group—are the most likely to thrive in their community. A study on the personality of our 'evolutionary cousins' reveals that, paradoxically, animals with the most problematic character are the most successful. But why does nature reward this type of behavior? Shouldn't animals that are best behaved in society prosper more? "We are facing an evolutionary puzzle," explains Joseph T. Feldblum, a researcher at Duke University (United States) and one of the experts who has led this analysis. The research, published this Monday in the scientific journal 'PeerJ Life and Environment', analyzes almost forty years of data from 28 male chimpanzees from the Gombe National Park (Tanzania). Some of these animals began to be studied in the 1970s by the famous Jane Goodall who, already at that time, observed that animals have very different personalities. There are, for example, quieter and more solitary chimpanzees that live without causing problems in the community. But there are also especially authoritarian chimpanzees that are dedicated to picking a fight between their similes. From here, the question is what type of personalities are the most successful in this type of society. After analyzing almost 40 years of daily interactions between Gombe chimpanzees, the experts found that the most confrontational animals were the most successful in reproducing and producing offspring. The most troublesome animals were also the ones that had risen higher on the social ladder. "Male chimpanzees whose personalities combine high mastery with low conscientiousness tend to have better outcomes in life," the study concludes. "It seems that intimidation has its advantages," add the researchers who have led this work. Personality traits But why does nature reward the most conflicting behaviors? The experts explain that, until now, one of the most supported theories holds that each personality trait helps us to thrive at one point or another in life. Aggression, for example, seems to help the younger specimens to make a place for themselves in the group. But when they reach old age, when this ability loses its social meaning, it seems that the most aggressive animals dilute this facet of their personality towards more affable traits. Something similar to what we could observe among humans. It is not the first time that science has immersed itself in the study of the personality of our evolutionary cousins. Especially since, due to our closeness in the primate species tree, understanding how the character of these apes works could help us better understand why we are the way we are. A study published a few years ago in 'Scientific Data', in fact, establishes a certain parallelism between the personality traits observed in chimpanzees (both in the wild and in captivity) overlap with characteristics observed in our species. According to several studies, in the same way that occurs among humans, chimpanzees have very distinctive individual personalities and, in addition, they also have social behaviors that change with age. On the one hand, as an analysis led by the University of Edinburgh points out, each of these animals has a unique combination of characteristics such as shyness or extroversion. On the other hand, as a study published in 'Science' shows, there are group behaviors such as, for example, the fact that older chimpanzees prefer to flee from conflicts and surround themselves only with their close circle of friends. https://www.elperiodico.com/es/ciencia/20230424/chimpances-idiotas-triunfan-comunidad-86421764

The National Hydrocarbons Agency (ANH) will no longer be just oil and natural gas. He will also be in charge of non-conventional renewable energy issues and, for this reason, he is preparing to begin measuring the potential of white hydrogen in Colombia. "We are making plans to be able to learn about and explore white hydrogen a bit. Right now our focus is going to be white hydrogen and the idea is to support the Ministry of Mines and Energy in regulation and geological knowledge," said the Technical Vice President. of the ANH, Carlos Rey, during the 2nd International Hydrogen Congress. In addition, he stated that it is necessary to begin investigations to find out where the potential for white hydrogen is, since Colombia currently does not have a clear estimate of what resources it has. The Technical Vice President of the ANH also announced that they are working on a project that will be presented to the Ministry of Mines and Energy and the National Planning Department (DNP) to invest 640,000 million pesos in energy transition projects by 2026. Of this total, approximately 170,000 million pesos will be allocated to identify and evaluate the potential of white hydrogen that could exist in Colombia. "In the short term we hope to have an estimate of the potential for white hydrogen in Colombia. We will also work on other issues such as geothermal energy and CO2 storage, but without leaving behind all our previous tasks," he added. Our strategy is focused on the generation of knowledge, which will materialize with the entry of new companies in Colombia for the exploration and exploitation of hydrogen and geothermal resources," said the ANH official. These ANH plans are in line with the proposal of the Minister of Mines and Energy, Irene Vélez, to replace the hydrocarbon exploration and exploitation industry with that of white hydrogen, which can be found in the same areas where today there are presence of oil. In addition, he assured that the oil and natural gas infrastructure (oil and gas pipelines) that currently exists in the country and the "hydrocarbon residues" could be optimized for the production of blue hydrogen. According to the minister, the hydrocarbons sector must migrate little by little and so that it can be done progressively and under principles of energy security. He also mentioned that blue and white hydrogen are the only colors that the Government is interested in, "grey not so much because we believe that we can bet on as green as possible." "The energy transition in Colombia needs, in addition to changing technologies and changing the fiscal and export matrix, closing social gaps. The new green economies must be the ones that replace fossil economies," he said. https://www.eltiempo.com/economia/sectores/anh-destinara-170-000-millones-para-buscar-hidrogeno-blanco-761498

The Colombian government joined the efforts to evacuate foreigners in Sudan, where the fighting between the national army and the paramilitary group of the Rapid Support Forces (FAR) is relentless. According to the Colombian Consulate in Cairo, 10 Colombians have been evacuated from the Republic of Sudan "due to the delicate public order situation in that country." “Some of these people managed to leave with the support of the diplomatic missions of Spain, France and the United Nations accredited in Sudan; other compatriots left by their own means”, highlighted the Colombian Foreign Ministry. Of the Colombian evacuees, four are women, three are men and there are three minors. Some of them left by air for Djibouti, and others are traveling by land to the Arab Republic of Egypt. The Colombian Consulate in Cairo continues to provide consular assistance to compatriots who require it, and recalled that the hotlines remain active. Explosions, shelling and shots have not stopped resounding for ten days in the Sudanese capital, Khartoum, and other areas, causing hundreds of deaths. However, the foreign capitals managed to negotiate with the two belligerents for the evacuation of their diplomatic personnel and citizens of their countries. This spiral "runs the risk of a catastrophic conflagration inside Sudan that could engulf the entire region and beyond," Guterres said Monday. Despite this warning, the UN envoy to Sudan, Volker Perthes, will remain in the East African country, unlike many diplomats and other foreign citizens. In total, more than 1,000 European Union (EU) citizens were evacuated, according to the bloc's head of diplomacy, Josep Borrell. Spain announced the departure of 100 people, Spaniards but also Latin Americans. The United States evacuated its diplomatic personnel, less than 100 people, in helicopters. China and several Arab countries have also evacuated hundreds of their nationals. More than 420 people have died and 3,700 have been injured so far, according to the World Health Organization (WHO). “I fear for their (Sudanese) future,” Norwegian ambassador Endre Stiansen wrote on Twitter. The inhabitants of Khartoum have only one idea in mind: to leave the city, which is sinking into chaos. The Sudanese doctors' union launched an urgent appeal on Facebook on Monday: "Several neighborhoods in Khartoum are being shelled, there are civilians dead and about fifty seriously injured, all doctors who are nearby must come as quickly as possible." The two sides accuse each other of having attacked the prisons to free hundreds of prisoners, looting houses and factories. There have also been clashes around banks, which were emptied. https://www.elespectador.com/mundo/mas-paises/crisis-en-sudan-colombia-evacua-a-ciudadanos-por-la-guerra-noticias-hoy/

The creators of Genshin Impact are preparing for the launch of a new title. Almost a year and a half after its presentation, Honkai: Star Rail will definitely be released on PC and mobile phones on April 26. Immediate landing in the absence of a PlayStation version that should not be long in coming. However, before knowing what day he would make his debut, there was a question that we kept repeating to ourselves. If something has worked for HoYoverse, it is real-time action accompanied by an open world. Two elements that were discarded for the development of what is now his new title. Two big sacrifices for Honkai: Star Rail to be different The obvious question, given the circumstances, is: why? Fortunately, we don't have to theorize about it. On the occasion of the launch we were able to ask directly the people in charge of HoYoverse about this gigantic change. A situation that even they themselves recognized as extravagant. "The most logical thing would have been for Honkai: Star Rail to follow in the footsteps of previous successes. But at the same time, in the course of developing and creating the game, we strongly believed in our motto: 'something new, something exciting, something beyond imagination.' Thus we help open our minds to different directions of content creation." The developers have not given much importance to the issue of the open world since they consider that the experience is "just as vivid in terms of details and content", achieving a "very immersive" result. The truth is that we already ratified these sensations when we were able to test the last two beta phases of the video game. "The plot lines in each of the zones seem much more interesting than what we saw in Genshin," we said at the time. In part, this is thanks to the fact that the story is condensed into somewhat smaller areas although, as the developers let us see, equally ambitious in terms of depth. Regarding turn-based combat, the developers of Honkai: Star Rail did want to go a little deeper into the explanation and, above all, claim this type of combat. "Turn-based gameplay is one of the most classic and enduring game genres, with many loyal players around the world. Many of our team are huge fans of the genre. As our first attempt at this genre meant, the team was inspired to take on a new challenge. In terms of basic gameplay, turn-based combat has a different feel to the fast-paced combat of action-oriented games. It's fun for the thrill of planning well, thinking, and defeating the enemy, and has its own charm. Without losing the original core of turn-based mechanics, we have added elements of map exploration, dungeon crawling, puzzle solving, and immediate action to further enrich the gaming experience." In any case, from the developer they were not very concerned about the situation. "We think it's important not to generalize in terms like 'game genre', but try to look at it in multiple dimensions." The objective, rather than subjecting the title to an iron structure that follows the standards, is to create something that is really worthwhile. It's not about whether Genshin Impact is an ARPG or Honkai: Star Rail follows the classic designs of a JRPG that combines elements of special fantasy and science fiction. In the end, what they are looking for from HoYoverse is to create that title so good that, above all, it is capable of keeping players interested. Honkai: Star Rail Download Now Available The premiere of Honkai: Star Rail is confirmed for next April 26 at 4:00 AM CEST (Spanish peninsular time). It's going to take a lot of guts to play right around the time the servers open due to ungodly hours in the west. However, we can now get everything ready for our first session in the new title from the creators of Genshin Impact. Through the game's official website we have the option to download now, installing both the client and the content of version 1.0. In this way, when we want to start the adventure, everything will be a matter of pressing the play button. https://www.3djuegos.com/juegos/honkai-star-rail/noticias/creadores-honkai-star-rail-explican-dos-grandes-diferencias-genshin-impact-su-lucha-logica-no-querian-repetir-formula-juegos-anteriores

There is less and less left for the next installment in the Diablo saga, the long-awaited Diablo IV, to land on the many platforms for which it is predicted. However, as expected as it is an open system, PC gamers will be able to customize their experience based on their machine's hardware. To guide us a bit about the requirements that the game will demand, the company has published up to four different configurations; each of them oriented to a specific purpose. All of this information has been shared in a Blizzard blog post. So, we will have a configuration of minimum, medium, high and Ultra 4k requirements. Before fully breaking down the requirements of each one, we will tell you what type of configuration they are oriented for: Minimum requirements: we can run Diablo IV in 1080p as native resolution or, failing that, 720p with rendered resolution. The graphics settings settings will be low and 30 FPS. Medium requirements: configuration with which we will reach 1080p and 60 FPS with medium graphic settings. High requirements: with 1080p resolution and 60 FPS, we can opt for high graphics settings. Ultra 4K requirements: with this configuration we can achieve a resolution of 4K, 60 FPS and ultra graphic settings. Finally, we leave you with a table in which we break down the necessary hardware for each of these four aforementioned configurations. https://www.3djuegos.com/juegos/diablo-iv/noticias/diablo-4-revela-sus-requisitos-definitivos-pc-escoge-tu-configuracion-minimo-medio-alto-ultra-4k-tu-hardware

Last month it was announced that the United States would send A-10 Thunderbolt II aircraft to the Middle East. They have recently made their first combat sortie in the region. this is what we know The first attack aircraft arrived in the US Central Command area of responsibility on March 31, 2023. The aircraft are stationed at the Al Dhafra military airbase in the United Arab Emirates. The first combat flight of the A-10 Thunderbolt II took place on April 20, 2023. This was officially announced by the US Central Command last weekend. The statement does not provide detailed information about the mission. The A-10s are intended to bolster US air capabilities in the region. The attack aircraft will operate in conjunction with the F-15E Strike Eagle and F-16 Fighting Falcon fourth-generation fighters.

The design of Windows has barely changed from the first versions of Windows, with an omnipresent taskbar at the bottom from where we can run any application, access those that are already open, see the date and time, scroll up and down the volume, access notifications... Although it is true that it is functional, Microsoft does not intend to change the design. On the Internet we can find a large number of applications that allow us to change the aesthetics of both the start menu and the taskbar and contextual menus, applications that, when running in the background, consume memory space that, depending on computer resources, may pose a performance problem for some computers. If we have gotten tired of the white taskbar and have already tried to change the color in addition to having gone through the dark mode of Windows, the only option left for us to give Windows a new look is to modify its design that , instead of being opaque, be transparent, a design that we can also apply to context menus to give Windows a completely different look than what we are used to. Within the Windows configuration options, we can modify the level of transparency of Windows so that we are not forced to resort to third-party applications, applications that we must always have open in the background since, otherwise, they cannot offer this functionality. Transparent taskbar and menus in Windows 11 The customization options that Windows makes available to us so that both the taskbar and the context menus show another design, are found within the Windows configuration options (Win + i). Within this section, click on Personalization. Through this menu, we can configure a wallpaper, establish a range of colors for the Windows interface, modify the information that is displayed on the lock screen, establish which applications are displayed in the start menu and the bar. tasks among others. But, in addition, it also allows us to apply a transparency effect to the entire system. This option is found in the Colors option of the Personalization menu. Within this option, we just have to activate the Transparency effects box. From now on, the context menus and taskbar will be slightly transparent, showing the background color of the image we have as background, but in a dimmed way, not the same color as it wouldn't be otherwise. a transparency effect. This function, like third-party applications, affect the performance of the computer, however, as it is a native function, the consumption of resources is lower than using third-party applications. https://www.softzone.es/noticias/windows/cambio-windows-11-aspecto-futurista/

SSDs have taken over the market for data storage solutions due to their great performance. Using another main storage system in a current computer is completely meaningless. But, mechanical hard drives or HDDs have a second life thanks to Microsoft DirectStorage 1.2, which improves the performance of these drives. DirectStoraget was a solution developed by Microsoft for the Xbox Series X console. This technology later reached the PC. What this technology does is transfer data directly to the GPU without having to go through the processor. Load times are improved and processor usage is reduced. Improved HDD performance thanks to DirectStorage 1.2 All computer processes have a series of established steps that require time. Eliminating steps in the process means improving the final performance. Imagine that to get home you go through 12 streets and it takes 5 minutes. But, thanks to the fact that they open a new street, you reduce your journey to 11 streets and now it only takes 4 minutes. Well, more or less this does DirectStorage. Specifically, Microsoft technology directly communicates the SSD and the graphics card. The data passes from the SSD to the RAM memory and, from this, to the VRAM of the graphics card. Before, to go from RAM to VRAM, they had to go through the processor. This reduces data transfer times and processor usage. Until now, this solution was only available for SSDs, but now it is also available for HDDs. This makes for better gaming performance. This technology has a drawback in mechanical hard drives and that is that the loading times of these storage units are high. By using mechanical parts, the performance is quite limited. The new feature adds buffered file open mode. To access this technology, simply set the "ForceFileBuffering" value to TRUE within DSTORAGE_CONFIGURATION1. We should note that buffered I/O is not supported by BypassIO. The value of "DiableBypassIO" must be set to TRUE. On the other hand, it must be taken into account that the game developers that support and adapt this function. So, it must be supported by the game to be used. https://hardzone.es/noticias/componentes/actualizacion-software-directstorage-hdd/

With the death of the solitary George, who was over 100 years old and weighed 75 kilos, an entire species disappeared, Chelonoidis abingdonii, which lived on the island of Pinta in the Galapagos, in Ecuador. However, since a long time before its extinction, its DNA had been in the spotlight of the scientific community. Now, according to the news agency SINC, an international team of scientists, led by the universities of Yale and Oviedo, has analyzed its genome, along with that of another giant tortoise, that of the Aldabra atoll -Aldabrachelys gigantea-, the only living species. giant tortoise in the Indian Ocean. Analyzes of these two species, which shared a common ancestor 40 million years ago, were compared with those of other species of these reptiles. The results of the article titled Giant tortoise genomes provide insights into longevity and age-related disease and recently published in the journal Nature Ecology & Evolution , show that giant tortoises possess a series of genetic variants associated with the regulation of metabolism and the immune response, which could be related to the exceptionally large sizes and long lives of these turtles. Before his death, the team led by Adalgisa 'Gisella' Caccone, a researcher in the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at Yale University and lead author of the study, began in 2010 to sequence George's entire genome to study po[CENSORED]tion evolution. of tortoises of the Galapagos Islands. Carlos López-Otín, from the University of Oviedo, was commissioned after analyzing this data and that of other species of turtles to look for genetic variants associated with longevity. "We had previously described nine characteristics of aging, and after studying 500 genes based on this classification, we found interesting variants that could affect six of these characteristics in giant tortoises, opening new lines for aging research," explains López-Otín. Why don't giant tortoises get cancer? Genome sequencing has not only provided information about their size and longevity, but also great information about the prevalence of cancer in these reptiles. In general, long-lived organisms have a higher risk of cancer. However, the results confirm that, in the case of these giant tortoises, tumor suppressors were more widespread than in other smaller specimens. In addition, the experts found giant tortoise-specific alterations in two genes whose overexpression is known to contribute to cancer. Although these findings could point to a cancer mechanism specific to giant tortoises, tumors are very rare in tortoises, so the scientists suggest further studies to determine if these genomic features are associated with tumor development. On the other hand, this research will help, according to the experts, to improve the understanding of the biology of the giant tortoise, and may contribute to a better conservation of other giant tortoises in the Galapagos Islands. https://www.nationalgeographic.com.es/medio-ambiente/esto-explica-la-longevidad-de-las-tortugas-gigantes_13605

Barranquilla has wanted to host a Formula 1 Grand Prix and work continues to make that dream come true. At first, the information was surprising and even denied, but as the days and months went by, that rumor gained strength. So much so that in November of last year, Stefano Domenicali, president of Formula 1, visited the city and with the mayor Jaime Pumarejo they toured several specific places in Barranquilla. The Barranquilla Mayor's Office confirmed that this project would be called the 'Caribbean Grand Prix' and, apparently, it is going from strength to strength. As the local president said at the time, "the process is going very well. Progress has been made in all the previous steps, before a final decision is made. They have already come to the city, they have found it comfortable." Well then. In the last hours, Barranquilla appeared on a list of cities that aspire to host an F1 race. The capital of the Atlantic is next to London, Kyalami, South Africa; Hanoi, Vietnam, Hong Kong and Mexico City. https://www.eltiempo.com/deportes/automovilismo/formula-1-tiene-a-barranquilla-como-opcion-para-sede-de-gran-premio-761901

The brown bear does not live its best days in Slovenia and Italy. In the first country, the Ministry of Natural Resources and Territorial Affairs has just given the green light for the elimination of more than 200 of these large mammals, whose po[CENSORED]tion was decimated in Europe by hunting in the first half of the 20th century. In the Italian autonomous province of Trento, for days there has been a debate about the slaughter of two specimens considered dangerous to humans. In both countries, the argument is similar, although the figures are very different: they argue that it is necessary to control the overpo[CENSORED]tion of bears (about 1,100 in Slovenia and 100 in the Trento area). In the case of Italy, what has given wings to the crusade of the provincial president, Maurizio Fugatti, of the ultra-right party of the League, has been a tragedy: that a bear, known by the acronym JJ4 and mother of three cubs, killed this month to a hiker, an event that adds to years of complaints from farmers about the damage that animals cause them. judicial blockade The matter is causing a huge controversy in the transalpine country and has not yet been closed. Despite the intentions of Fugatti, who has already signed the decrees to put an end to the life of the two animals, the Trento Administrative Court has provisionally blocked the killing of JJ4 and MJ5 to better examine the matter. The second bear is accused of having injured a person in an accident that has not yet been fully clarified. This is one of the arguments of the animalists, in particular the LAV and LAC associations, although not only they have raised the cry to heaven for the possible dejection of the two bears. Various figures from politics, culture and the media have spoken out against it, including the former Italian Environment Minister, General Sergio Costa. “Fugatti has signed the dejection of MJ5. It will be a death without cause. I will continue fighting to preserve this life”, said Costa. Even more: even both parents of the deceased hiker have expressly stated that they are against the fact that the bear JJ4 is also sacrificed. “Vengeances do not interest us. Killing that bear does not mean justice," said the father, Carlo Papi, asking instead for clarification why the authorities did not take precautions to prevent the accident. European project The reason for this is that Fugatti, who has already said that he also intends to kill or move another 70 copies, has questioned the 'Life Ursus' project. This program, financed by the European Union, was launched when the brown bear was almost extinct in that area of Italy in the late 1990s. Then 10 specimens from Slovenia were introduced that were later reproduced. "This project was not a failure, it was a great success, internationally recognized (...) but the project ended in 2004 and after that the responsibility passed to the autonomous province of Trento", defended the zoologist Andrea Mustoni, former program coordinator. Dispute in Slovenia Another case is that of Slovenia, where only last year 206 bears were killed (in addition to four wolves), a figure 60% higher than the previous year. And, for now, the change of government last year, when the current Slovenian prime minister (with a liberal-environmental orientation) won, Robert Golob, has not meant a change in the aggressive policy of po[CENSORED]tion control of these animals. https://www.elperiodico.com/es/sociedad/20230423/eslovenia-italia-aceleran-abatir-ejemplares-86323352

The left has come to power in the region with a clear message of change. However, it has not been possible to consolidate and the citizens of the countries where this ideology rules are concerned, since the economic problems continue to rise. This is the case with Argentina and Chile, countries governed by presidents Alberto Fernández and Gabriel Boric, respectively, and which, according to the Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (Cepal), will be the only countries in South America whose economies will perform negatively. in the year 2023. Specifically, the international organization forecasts that the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in Argentina will contract by 2%, compared to the growth of 1% that it estimated last December 2022. ECLAC is not the only organization that recently reduced growth prospects for Argentina. The International Monetary Fund (IMF) did the same last week, cutting the expansion of the Argentine economy from 2 to 0.2% for this year. In turn, the World Bank contemplates that the country will not grow in 2023. For its part, in the previous revision of projections, ECLAC already calculated that the Chilean economy would end the year 2023 with a drop in GDP. For Chile, the agency improved its forecast, estimating a fall of only 0.3% of GDP. This upward revision coincides in time with the improvement in the performance of the Chilean economy that is also anticipated by the country's central bank. Specifically, the body chaired by Rosanna Costa estimates a fall of 0.5% in the most negative scenario or an expansion of 0.5% in the most positive. For the region as a whole, ECLAC has estimated that GDP will grow by 1.2% in 2023, one tenth less than what was forecast last December. This worsening of their projections is due to the complex external scenario facing the Latin American economies this year, marked by low growth in economic activity and world trade, as well as the persistence of high monetary policy rates. https://www.semana.com/mundo/articulo/pasara-en-colombia-gobiernos-de-izquierda-de-chile-y-argentina-haran-caer-su-economia-en-2023-afirma-la-cepal/202321/

Three days after his meeting with President Gustavo Petro, Joe Biden posted a video on his Twitter account highlighting the most relevant topics of the conversation. “Thank you for your commitment to address climate change and promote democratic values in the Americas. When Colombia and the United States come together, there is nothing we cannot achieve," Biden said. The video highlights the moment in which he thanked Petro for his work on issues of peace and human rights. He also recalled the commitment to invest US $500 million in the Amazon Fund, which finances programs to protect the Amazon rainforest and stop deforestation in this important ecosystem. “We are working together to counter drug trafficking and address the historic level of migration,” Biden says in the recording. Regarding the first point, it should be remembered that Petro announced agreements in search of a new vision of the drug problem. According to the Colombian president, there are no contradictions in the proposal to increase cocaine interdiction operations and the analysis of the impact of eradication and fumigation with glyphosate. “As we begin the next century of our partnership, I believe we can do even more to deepen and develop cooperation,” Biden said. The joint declaration of both administrations had also highlighted the importance of maintaining diplomatic relations under the principles of friendship, mutual respect, cultural ties and a shared commitment to democracy and human rights. As the two oldest democracies in the hemisphere, the United States and Colombia reiterated their commitment to the democratic values they share, including justice, freedom of expression, association, press, religious freedom, and the human rights inherent to all people," the joint statement said. After his meeting with Biden, Petro returned to Colombia to advance preparations for the summit on the political crisis in Venezuela, which will be held in Bogotá this Tuesday, April 25. During his tour of the United States, the president sought support for his proposal to guarantee transparent elections in Venezuela and progressively dismantle international sanctions against the government of Nicolás Maduro. https://www.elespectador.com/politica/joe-biden-sobre-reunion-con-gustavo-petro-no-hay-nada-que-no-podamos-lograr/

Video games are a hobby that is breaking down more and more barriers when it comes to finding new platforms on which to display the latest titles. What's more, it's hard to believe -for those who haven't experienced it- that 20 years ago the top mobile games were the legendary Nokia's Snake (among others) but that now thanks to streaming platforms and mobile phones with from Android or iOS we can play truly cutting-edge games in graphics and sounds for a smartphone. True, they do not reach the technical and deployment level that consoles have, but the game on our mobile terminals is a reality with a constantly growing catalogue; And if it is not with games designed ex process for them, then they can be versions of some of those that are played on consoles, although with limitations of course. So, although reluctant to play with them -I'm quite an old dog in the curmudgeonly sense of the word-, I wanted to try what it is like to play some that I had already enjoyed on my PC on a mobile to see how the experience translates and if my previous knowledge could be of any use to me. A ''control'' that covers the screen For this experiment, I have been able to count on an Android Honor Magic 5 Lite model, an interesting alternative to the ubiquitous Samsung Galaxy, iPhones, or Huawei. Technically we are talking about a mid-range mobile but whose features and performance should be more than enough for what I wanted to try, and it has been. https://www.3djuegos.com/android/noticias/llevo-20-anos-jugando-pc-he-pasado-dos-semanas-solo-videojuegos-para-moviles-esta-mi-experiencia
