  1. Although Apple's traditional annual fall presentation is still a long way off, insiders continue to share information about the upcoming iPhone 15 line of smartphones. This time the source is a well-known insider Ice Universe, who has gleaned interesting details about the top-of-the-line model. iPhone 15 Pro Max. this is what we know Apple hasn't upgraded the camera resolution in years, only switching to 48-megapixel sensors on the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max in 2022. So don't expect more megapixels this year: the iPhone 15 Pro Max will also have a 48 MP camera. That being said, there will still be changes: according to the leak, Apple is using a more advanced Sony IMX903 sensor. Its size is more similar to the 1-inch sensor: 1/1.14 inches compared to 1/1.28 inches on the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max. That is, the Sony IMX903 is larger, as the renders of the iPhone 15 Pro Max demonstrate: in them the camera protrudes more above the body than in its predecessors. What is the difference? The larger sensor has inherent advantages in that even in low light conditions, the larger camera lets more light through, capturing more detail. Also, the rumored Sony IMX903 could be more expensive than the one-inch Sony IMX989 sensor.

  2. Today we spend a good part of the sessions in front of the PC using our favorite Internet browser, in most cases, Google Chrome. Hence, its developers do not stop improving it with new functions and features, both functional and related to security. Although we have been using this application for years to navigate through the different web pages that interest us, surely there are features that we are not aware of. And it is that with the passage of time these software solutions have become more complex programs to satisfy the needs of the majority. That is not to mention the extensions that we can install in order to increase its versatility. Based on the fact that the Chrome browser is by far the most used, Google takes special care in everything related to this program. We have several customization functions to adjust the security levels to our needs or preferences. At the same time we have functions that allow us to customize the interface of the program in order to work with it in the most comfortable way. The truth is that today we spend a good number of hours using these browsers for work, chat, read or play. The current uses of the Internet and the corresponding browser are almost endless. In these lines we are going to talk about a function that will help you not to make a mistake when clicking the mouse in Chrome. Let's start from the fact that we repeat these types of actions thousands of times, almost without realizing it. That is why on many occasions we make the mistake of clicking where we should not, simply because we do not have the mouse pointer correctly located. Never make a wrong click again in Chrome Google has also thought about this type of failure by its users, so let's see the function that it provides us. It is precisely for all this that the search giant offers us a function integrated into the browser that will be very useful in these cases. It is responsible for highlighting for a short period of time the place on the web where we have clicked. Thus, to a large extent, errors are avoided and we instantly locate the mouse cursor. This is a feature that we will see included in the program itself without having to install extensions of any kind and that you may not have known about. For all this, the first thing we do is access the Chrome configuration menu through the button represented by 3 vertical points. Among the options that appear, we opted for the one that says Configuration to access the browser customization window. https://www.softzone.es/noticias/programas/activa-funcion-chrome-ver-mejor-clic-raton/
  3. As most hardware fans know, this world is not just about seeing how powerful a certain component is in such a benchmark or in that game, but there is always a niche that tries to scratch every last decimal of performance in each component for the simple fact of seeing how far you can go. Well, you should know that the performance record has been broken again in the field of graphics cards, and curiously it has not been using a next-generation graphics card, but one from the past generation... In fact, there is a fact that makes it even more curious and that is that, as you already know, EVGA decided to abandon the graphics card market a few months ago and, precisely, it was the EVGA team of overclockers and using graphics from the brand Who has broken this record? The RTX 3090 Ti, the most powerful graphics card (in SLI) In this case, it has been the overclocker "CENS" who has obtained the new performance world record, and it has been using two RTX 3090 Ti in SLI... many of you will wonder how it is possible that the performance record (in this case in the benchmark Port Royal of the 3DMark suite) has been obtained with a graphics card of the last generation, assuming that the new generation ones are more powerful... the answer is simple: the RTX 40 Series does not support SLI. As you can see in the screenshot above, CENS has managed to obtain 36,370 points in 3DMark Port Royal using two RTX 3090 Ti in SLI with manual overclock and liquid nitrogen cooled, placing first in the table. As we always say, this is not representative of anything because it is not something that ordinary users are going to do on our home PCs, but it is still impressive that the record achieved is with a graphics card from the previous generation. Does this make the RTX 3090 Ti the most powerful graphics card on the market? Well, it really was at the time, but if we talk about graphics cards individually, it is not because the RTX 4090 is quite above. Of course, as we have already mentioned, no matter how much the RTX 4090 is the most powerful graphics, we will not achieve the best possible performance because two RTX 3090 Ti in SLI offer even greater power, something that cannot be achieved with current generation graphics. because NVIDIA decided to do without SLI technology in them. Of course, we must also take into account that the world record for graphic power (in these same terms) with an individual GPU does belong to the RTX 4090, and in fact it is only 13% lower than that obtained now by CENS with two RTX 3090 Ti. Ok but what good are these records? Obviously, we have commented on it many times: for us, simply to get an idea of how far a certain component can go, or as a curious fact to know which is the most powerful graphics card in the world at any given time (at least in this case, because the record that concerns us is graphics cards). But, in terms of "real life", it is not very useful for ordinary users since we do not have the means or, at least in most cases, the knowledge to do these levels of overclocking. All in all, if you are one of those users who likes to squeeze every drop of performance out of your PC, you can take the data obtained by professional overclockers as a reference to find out if a component may have a greater or lesser tendency to accept certain overclock levels. But, beyond that, we repeat that it is of little use to us except as a curious fact... https://hardzone.es/noticias/tarjetas-graficas/tarjeta-grafica-mas-potente-2023/
  4. The creepy town of Al Madam is an hour's drive from Dubai in the United Arab Emirates and is believed to have been built in the 1970s and abandoned just a few years later in the 1980s. Rumors abound as to why the people of the Al Kutbi tribe fled their homes, and what is certain is that the doors of their houses were left open and their possessions were left behind, suggesting that they fled in haste. "No one is quite sure why people left this city, but rumor has it that some kind of nasty devilish creature drove them away," says Dutch photographer Erik Kruger, who had to get special permission from the government to fly into the area with your drone to get the pictures of the place and the surrounding roads. Another theory suggests that the city was hit several times a year by powerful sandstorms, which could have forced its inhabitants to leave without looking back. https://www.nationalgeographic.com.es/fotografia/foto-del-dia/desertico-fantasmagorico_19701
  5. The European Union (EU) today definitively approved the law that will ban sales in community territory of all new cars and vans that emit CO2 from 2035, after weeks of last-minute tensions due to the surprise blockade in Germany. The energy ministers of the EU countries approved the law with 23 votes in favour, Romania, Bulgaria and Italy abstaining and Poland voting against. Germany voted in favor, after the European Commission (EC) and Berlin reached an agreement this weekend. "It does not change the text agreed with the European Parliament" but "provides details on the next steps in the application of the regulation" to incorporate synthetic fuels or "efuels" into community regulations, summarized the European Commissioner for Energy, Kadri Simson. These are artificial fuels - and currently prohibitively expensive - that are produced from green hydrogen and carbon dioxide, but they are climate neutral because they only emit previously captured CO2 and can be used in vehicles with combustion engines. The "efuels" were already mentioned in the negotiated text, at the request of Germany and Italy, but the Commission gave itself until 2026 to return to the issue and allow this technology to evolve in that period of time. However, in a formal procedure in the final approval of the regulations at the beginning of March, Berlin paralyzed the adoption of the law because the third party of the German government coalition, the liberals of the FDP, demanded that more projections to electric fuels be closed. . The maneuver was not liked in Brussels or by a large part of the Member States, but it was necessary to force a negotiation to satisfy Germany, the leading economic power in the EU and the leading car manufacturer, and save this law, which is a key piece of climate policy. of the EU to decarbonise the community economy in 2050. The Commission added a political declaration -which is not legally binding- in which Brussels undertakes to present a "solid and evasion-proof" regulation for the approval of this type of vehicle, in collaboration with the Technical Committee for Motorized Vehicles. The Community Executive will present "in autumn 2023" a piece of legislation -delegated act- that "specifies how vehicles with 'efuels' would contribute to the objectives of reducing CO2 emissions, in relation to the regulation of CO2 emission standards for passenger cars and light vehicles. The agreement allows a key piece of EU climate policy to be carried out in the transition to a decarbonized economy after a maneuver that neither the Commission nor many of the EU countries liked. However, the future of the combustion engine will continue to be present in European debates, beyond "efuels". Italy considers that the interpretation adopted with respect to "efuels" is "very restrictive" and has asked the Commission to include biofuels (obtained from vegetable biomass) in the path it undertakes to find a place for synthetic fuels. https://www.eltiempo.com/vida/medio-ambiente/la-ue-prohibe-definitivamente-vender-carros-que-emitan-co2-a-partir-de-2035-754181
  6. (CNN) -- The rufous hummingbird is magical. The male's iridescent throat shines brighter than a shiny copper penny and, like most hummingbirds, it buzzes through the air curiously, hovering right in front of onlooking humans. The first time Mike Parr, president of the American Bird Conservancy, saw one, it was feeding on the blossoms of a lemon tree in California. “It was just one of those otherworldly places. It was almost like a religious experience,” Parr says with awe and reverence. “When they just turn their heads and suddenly their throat catches the light, it lights up with this incredible color. It's just magical, really. It just lights up like a beacon.” They are one of the smallest hummingbirds at just over 7cm long, but one of the most feisty. They fly a staggering 6,200 km (one-way) from Alaska, where they live in the summer, to Mexico, one of the longest migratory journeys of any bird in the world compared to their body size, according to the Cornell Lab of Ornithology. . Californians enjoy them in the spring and Rocky Mountain residents in the fall, as birds feed on flower nectar and small insects in high mountain meadows, backyard flowers, and bird feeders. hummingbirds But the Rufous Hummingbird, like hundreds of other species, is on the brink of the abyss. Birds are the “canary in a coal mine” The rufous hummingbird has lost two-thirds of its po[CENSORED]tion since 1970, according to the 2022 State of the Birds report. These tiny creatures are one of 70 bird species on the "Tipping Point" list that will lose another fifty percent of their po[CENSORED]tions in the same time period if conservation does not improve. That list includes flying beauties like the Golden-winged Warbler with its stunning yellow cap and black mask. The reasons, scientists say, are multiple: habitat loss due to climate change and human development, glass collisions, invasive species (domestic cats) and pesticides; many of the same reasons that all wildlife globally has plummeted. So why should we care that birds are disappearing? One reason, Parr says, is that their losses are a harbinger of what humans face, too. "Birds are the canary in the coal mine," says Parr. "We are seeing evidence of ecological collapse in North America as evidenced by the loss of birds." Birds depend on nature just like we do: for the air we breathe, the water we drink, the food we eat, Parr says. As they lose their habitat, from large masses of native forest to open grasslands, wetlands and marshes, we are losing those resources too. Earth Day: when is it, why was it founded and since when is it commemorated? "So as things start to unravel, if biodiversity and climate change both unravel, the natural world around us that we depend so much on may not be as reliable as we'd like it to be." A second reason: birds are essential to our ecosystem. They pollinate flowers and disperse seeds. They feed on insects and rodents keeping those po[CENSORED]tions in check. Thirdly, they are simply beautiful: they fill our sky with birdsong, although a little less each year. “We don't want to see the birds disappear. So instead of waiting until the last second, from a conservation standpoint, you just don't want to see the bird get there in the first place,” says Parr. "Unfortunately, wildlife doesn't have a voice of its own." Things you can do to help save birds from extinction Problem: glass collisions Solution: bird-friendly glass or decals Nearly a billion birds are killed each year in the United States due to collisions with glass. Birds see a reflection of the sky and trees and think it is a habitat they can fly to. Birds hit not only high-rise office buildings, but also the windows of houses. In fact, almost half of all collisions occur on the windows of houses according to the American Bird Conservancy. Collisions are more frequent during spring and especially fall migration, but occur throughout the year. The good news is that there are ways to prevent these deaths. You can add clear peel or peel decals to your windows. Most reflect ultraviolet light, which we can't see but really stands out to most birds. You don't have to put them on all your windows, says Parr. "You can usually identify the windows that are the most problematic." The American Bird Conservancy has laboratories that have tested the products and found them safe for birds. Also, if you are building a new home or installing windows, you can install bird-proof glass. Many birding groups are working nationally to promote bird-friendly building designs and "blackout" nights during periods of high migration. Problem: pesticides/poor grass in habitat Solutions: Organic garden, planting of native vegetation, reserve of wild areas Many birds eat insects, but the vast decline in insect po[CENSORED]tions around the world makes food more scarce. Parr says that instead of pesticides and herbicides, let the birds do their job eating bugs and grass seeds in your yard. "Birds are very good pesticides," says Parr. “They eat a lot of insects. Encourage the birds." On a larger scale, conservation groups are fighting the use of neonicotinoids, or "neonics," a pesticide used not only on crops, but turned into seeds and used on some garden plants. https://cnnespanol.cnn.com/2023/04/22/estas-diminutas-criaturas-estan-perdiendo-la-batalla-por-sobrevivir-esto-es-lo-que-podemos-hacer-para-salvarlos-trax/
  7. The last report presented by the Colombian Chamber of Construction (Camacol), based on its Urban Coordinate system, revealed unpleasant news for the sector in the country, due to the drop in home sales, since they are being completed even fewer offices than in the covid-19 quarantine. “During the time of the pandemic, when we were locked up and thinking that we were going to die, we sold 6,300 social interest homes (VIS) per month. Today we are selling 5,800″, explained the president of Camacol Guillermo Herrera, making a parallel on the problem. Well, one of the factors that was put on the table in terms of the factors that have affected the sale of housing is the withdrawal of citizens from continuing with the purchase, which directly affects the construction sector and creates an echo in job creation. "It is important to point out that the new housing market in Bogotá represents 1 out of every 5 new homes in the country, and each new home that is built generates 4 direct and indirect jobs, and mobilizes 54% of the country's productive apparatus through through the demand for inputs and services. In this sense, the effect of the contraction on housing sales in the city can significantly affect occupancy and aggregate economic dynamics,” said Edwin Chiriví, who is Camacol's manager for Bogotá and Cundinamarca. Among the situations that have led to the withdrawal, which exceeded 2,100 as of February, have been the difficulties presented in the Mi Casa Ya program. This has a very high penetration in the social housing market, since about eight out of ten low-income homes sold in Colombia are subsidized by this program. In October 2022, the budget resources of Mi Casa Ya ran out and from that moment the disbursements of said subsidies were suspended, which has generated a block in the dynamics of the sector. "Today we have some 52,000 homes that have not been delivered to their beneficiaries due to lack of disbursements," says Herrera. According to Chiriví, the contraction in housing sales for the first quarter of this 2023, "is mainly explained by three factors that affect the investment decision of households: less economic activity in general, the increase in interest rates, interest and the reduction of the social housing market. Regarding the latter, the restart of the subsidy allocation process and the expected increase in resources to finance the Mi Casa Ya program are a good time, we hope they will help reverse this trend.” The Camacol manager even stressed that the allocation of new subsidiary plans for the Colombian po[CENSORED]tion can help lift the sector out of the crisis. “One of the main solutions to the current housing situation in the city is that the process of assigning new subsidies and the additional resources to finance the Mi Casa Ya program reactivate the willingness to purchase homes and stimulate the creation of jobs and real estate investment in general," said Some other causes are the growing inflation, which increased the cost of materials such as iron, steel and cement, and which today in Colombia has not yet reached the ceiling (it is at 13.34%). The increase in the reference rates of the Banco de la República, which in 18 months took it from 1.75% to 13%, increasing the cost of financing. And after two years of expansion in the economy, it was time for the slowdown, which would lead Colombia to growth close to 1%. The numbers According to the most recent quarterly analysis, during January, February and March, 21,728 units were sold in Social Interest Housing (VIS) —which means more than 70% of new housing—, which represents a drop of 58% compared to the same period from the previous year. In the data for the 12 months until March, 60,000 units have stopped being marketed in the last year, a drop of 25%. And if the exercise is monthly, in March, the variation had a contraction of more than 60%. In total new housing (including VIS and non-VIS), the outlook is no better and in the same period, the contraction is 25.4%, with a market that would be below 200,000 units per year. For some, the situation could be the reflection of a base effect in the face of historical growth in recent years, while others argue that it is a normal cyclical movement in the sector. However, in the last 15 years, the country has gone through three major crises —subprime, the fall in oil prices in the middle of the last decade, and the pandemic—, and in none of them have fewer homes been sold than now, being one of the most pronounced falls of the last three decades. If the situation continues, the annual sales projection for VIS would be below 100,000 units at the end of 2023, which would represent a 43% drop. https://www.semana.com/nacion/articulo/el-desistimiento-a-la-compra-de-vivienda-un-flagelo-para-la-economia-del-sector-constructor-en-bogota-y-la-region/202325/
  8. Five workers were injured this Saturday, April 22, in an explosion registered at Pozo Tesoro 29, located in the Lizama sector, municipality of San Vicente de Chucurí. Ecopetrol confirmed the number of injuries and ruled out, for the moment, that there are fatalities through a short statement in which it also explained that it activated a contingency plan to attend to the emergency. The explosion caused a fire, according to images shared on social networks. The wounded were transferred to assistance centers in Barrancabermeja. For their part, "the production and refinery firefighting teams went to the site and controlled the situation," said Ecopetrol. The oil company also indicated that the equipment that was affected in the emergency is operated by the company Serinco Drilling. "The causes of the event are under investigation," added Ecopetrol. The emergency caused moments of anguish. A worker at the oil well said desperately: "Inform the fire brigade, we almost left, we almost burned, send the fire brigade, people are burned, the well is bursting." This contingency recalls the tragic situation that occurred in the municipality of Barrancabermeja, Santander, when on the night of October 1, 2022, 14 propane gas cylinders that were stored in a warehouse known as Fedegas exploded. At the time, the local authorities declared a public calamity in order to provide the necessary aid to the affected community. In the warehouse, according to the authorities, about 500 propane gas cylinders were stored, of which 14 exploded and in turn caused a large fire. The explosive wave affected more than 83 homes and left two people dead and 29 people injured. In view of this emergency, through Decree 278, Mayor Alfonso Eljach declared a situation of public calamity for a period of six months, in which it was intended to "attend to each and every one of the administrative and contractual actions necessary for the fire presented in the Villa Plata neighborhood, commune seven. Likewise, this declaration made it possible to submit a request for support to the departmental and national government in search of benefits for the 83 Barranqueña families that were affected. https://www.semana.com/nacion/articulo/atencion-explosion-en-pozo-petrolero-de-santander-deja-cinco-heridos/202333/

  10. Aloy's arrival in Genshin Impact was one of the most controversial events in video game history. There were some players who criticized the addition of a character that had little or nothing to do with Teyvat's story, although most of the complaints were related to the lack of effort from the game creators when introducing it. We have already talked in detail about how the iconic PlayStation character was mistreated by developers and ended up forgotten by fans. At least, that's how it was until very recently, because now it has become the favorite of a sector of the community. Be careful because from here there are big spoilers for the latest Horizon DLC. Aloy becomes a unique character for Genshin Impact, but not thanks to HoYoverse Horizon's story was still in development when the character was introduced in Genshin Impact, and while it could continue, it has brought one of its most important chapters to a close with the recent release of an expansion called Burning Shores. Playable content that expands the plot of the game a bit and continues to evolve the characters. The point is that at a certain point in the adventure there is a scene in which Aloy kisses Seyka, her companion during the trip. This is nothing that extraordinary in terms of the Horizon saga. Many Western games have long tried to destigmatize romantic relationships between people of the same sex or gender. However, it is something that many players never thought to see in Genshin Impact. In this sense, many members of the HoYoverse title community already consider it official that Aloy is the first non-heterosexual character in the video game. The situation, of course, has been celebrated by many players who discovered the story over the last few hours. Keep in mind that HoYoverse is a developer from China, where there are certain laws that prevent what they call "promotion of homosexuality." In this sense, the lack of representation of the video game is not necessarily explained by the refusal of the developers, if not by the censorship of the country. In principle, this change will not have any impact on the version of Aloy in this video game, although it has forever changed the way in which many players relate to her and now, at least, there is a reason why she is special to the community. from Genshin Impact. https://www.3djuegos.com/juegos/genshin-impact/noticias/creadores-genshin-impact-nunca-se-atrevieron-ha-llegado-cambio-muy-esperado-jugadores-gracias-a-personaje-olvidado
  11. There are many offers every day, but there are few that attract players when it comes to interesting titles and that have an irresistible price. If you are a player who likes shooting games, you are in luck. Today we are going to talk about a proposal that was launched several years ago, but that has a very satisfactory gameplay. The title we are referring to is Call of Juarez: Gunslinger, a shooter set in the Wild West that was developed by Techland, and is currently on sale. You can get it for PC in the Steam store for 2.49 euros. This offer ends on May 1 and right now you can get hold of one of the most interesting proposals of that time. In Call of Juarez: Gunslinger you travel through the Wild West It is true that it is not a Call of Duty, but it is a work that surprises by artistic section since it has quite nice graphics. The title can last you between 5 and 7 hours according to How Long to Beat. Its gameplay is based on a kind of frenetic waves of enemies where killing them will be very rewarding. Therefore, you will have to become the most skilled gunslinger in the Wild West and enhance your art with pistols, although there are also more weapons available, such as shotguns. https://www.3djuegos.com/juegos/call-of-juarez-gunslinger/noticias/cuesta-3-euros-tiene-95-criticas-extremadamente-positivas-este-shooter-no-puede-faltar-tu-biblioteca-steam
  12. ASUS has introduced a new ZenBook series laptop equipped with an organic LED display. The model is called ASUS ZenBook 15 OLED (UM3504). this is what we know The laptop features an ASUS Lumina OLED NanoEdge display with a 2.8K resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. The panel has an aspect ratio of 16 to 9 and a diagonal of 15.6". The matrix is certified by Pantone, TÜV Rheinland, SGS and VESA DisplayHDR True Black 500. Response time is 0.2 ms. ASUS ZenBook 15 OLED is equipped with the AMD Ryzen 5 7535U or Ryzen 7 7735U chip depending on the modification. In both cases, the graphics subsystem is limited to the integrated GPU. There is up to 32GB of LPDDR5-6400 RAM and up to 1TB of PCIe 4.0 SSD capacity. According to the manufacturer, the laptop can run for up to 13 hours on a single charge. For this, it has a 67 W capacity battery. The battery charges from zero to 60% in 49 minutes. It also has USB 4, USB 3.2 (Gen 1) and USB 3.2 (Gen 2), Wi-Fi 6E and HDMI. The price and release date of the ASUS ZenBook 15 OLED has not yet been specified. The laptop will hit the market with the Windows 11 Home or Windows 11 Pro operating system pre-installed.

  13. With more than 30 years in the market, Word is the reference application in the field of text applications. Since its launch, it has managed to outperform all the alternatives that were released during the first few years and has managed to continue its reign, thanks in large part to the integration it offers with the rest of the Word applications. When creating any type of document, however simple it may be, it will always look better if we add some type of image, stickers or icon, graphic content that we can download from any web page, or directly from the search engine itself. However, it is not the most comfortable way to do it, as long as we want to use it in Word, since it includes its own search engine for graphic content, content that we can insert directly into the application without using other applications. How to Add Stickers, Icons, and Images in Word The function included natively that allows us to add graphic content without having to exit the application, it is located within the Insert options ribbon, specifically within the Icons section. By clicking on this option, a new window will be displayed where we have at our disposal the complete library of Office graphic content. If we use the paid version of Word, the amount of content available is much smaller, however, it can be very useful to us, even if we don't have the same type of content available. The content available through this section is divided into 6 categories. In turn, each of these categories has different subcategories that allow us to refine our searches. Images. By default, the Images section offers us different categories such as Individuality, Green, Design, Blue, Climate, Abundance among others. In addition, we can use the search box at the top to search for the type of image we are looking for so that a large number of photos are displayed that we can use in their original size. https://www.softzone.es/noticias/programas/buscar-imagenes-stickers-iconos-word/
  14. As most of you already know, all SSDs have a limited life expectancy, as unlike traditional mechanical hard drives, memory cells have a limited number of writes. For this reason, and especially if you have been using the same SSD for a while, it is always good to know how much useful life it has left to be able to react in time before the SSD becomes unusable. In this article, we talk about 5 programs to know this information. Actually, a modern SSD can last you a lifetime, but by knowing how much life is left in the SSD, you can always prevent it from going into read-only mode and having to react late to problems. By being proactive, or as they say, “better safe than sorry”, you can avoid disaster and swap out your SSD for a new one before it happens. Let's see what options we have for it. Aida64, the best to know the life of your SSD Aida64 is the successor software to the famous Everest, and it is surely the most complete program to know the status of our hardware since it incorporates a myriad of options for it. Of course, among these options we find that of knowing the useful life that the SSD has left, at least in terms of percentage. To do this, you simply have to open the program and go to Storage -> SMART, where you will find all the data you need. As you can see in the screenshot that we have given you above, our SSD has been on for a total of 243 days (this is a sum of the hours that the unit has been on, the reality is that it has been used for a little over 2 years), and in that time almost 15 and a half TB of information have been written to it. According to data from the drive itself, it still has 96% life left, so nothing to worry about for now. With CrystalDisk Info you will have to calculate it CrystalDisk Info is a well-known tool to find out the status of any storage unit, but the downside is that it doesn't specifically tell us how long an SSD has left to live, although it is true that we can calculate it ourselves. https://hardzone.es/noticias/componentes/programas-saber-vida-ssd/
  15. After his outstanding victory in the TC 2,000 Colombia, finishing first in the opening race, the revelation driver Lucas Medina, is getting ready to participate, for the first time, in the Alpine Regional Formula European Championship (FRECA), in the one that will run with the French motorsport team, Saintéloc Racing. The news was confirmed after the French team announced the debut of the 19-year-old Colombian driver in this important race that will start on April 23 in Imola, Italy. Lucas Medina's teammate is the driver Emerson Fittipaldy Jr, son of the two-time Formula 1 world champion in the 1970s, Emerson Fittipaldi, a former Brazilian motorsport driver. “I am very excited to start my first season at FRECA. It was a dream that I had for several years and for which I have been preparing with great effort, to leave the name of Colombia at the top," said the Bogota native about his new challenge. And it is no secret to anyone that Lucas Medina had the support of two great teams for his participation in FRECA, as well as in the IndyCar series in the United States. For Lucas Medina, this will be the first season in FRECA, considered an almost mandatory step for drivers between Formula 4 and Formula 3. The French Saintéloc team has placed all its trust and support in the Colombian, who assures that his plans are very ambitious to further diversify their field of action in the world of motorsports. The 2023 season of the European Regional Formula Championship will be the fifth edition of said competition, which will begin on April 21 in Imola and end on October 22 at the Hockenheim Circuit, a racetrack located near Hockenheim, Germany, in the region metropolitan Rehin-Neckar. This will be a parallel season for the Colombian driver, taking into account that he will have an international participation in Italy and a national one with his team participating in the TC 2,000 Colombia, for which Medina confirmed that his FORDFOCUS-33 car will be present on the track, but it will be driven by another driver from his team, when he is not in Colombia. https://www.eltiempo.com/deportes/automovilismo/lucas-medina-en-el-campeonato-europeo-de-formula-regional-de-alpine-761513
  16. The number is staggering: about a million species, including some that were previously considered common, are in danger of extinction, according to the most recent report from the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES). ), an independent intergovernmental body for science and policy backed by the UN. Deforestation, pollution, climate change, intensive agriculture and fishing, and human activities threaten the planet's ecosystems. Giraffes, parrots, algae and oaks, among many others, are threatened. They are familiar animals, but one of the most unique species on the planet, the pink dolphin, is also in check, and we know little about this mammal. In fact, you may never have seen it. Not in photo. Their name is not trivial and they are of this color. Because? It is so unique that it is one of the unique species of the Amazon. The pink dolphin will become extinct in less than 50 years, reveals a study by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). The greatest threat to the survival of this species, of which it is estimated that there may be some 50,000 specimens in the Amazon and Orinoquia basins, is its indiscriminate hunting and the deterioration of its natural habitat. You won't see it in the sea: it is freshwater and lives in the great river of South America. It is the most po[CENSORED]r of the five species of river-dwelling dolphins due to its unusual color, as well as being the largest species . In fact, it is not directly related to sea dolphins as they come from different families and the pink dolphin diverged from its oceanic ancestors about 15 million years ago, during the Miocene. They change color over time Science is advancing at an unstoppable pace, but it is still not known exactly why this animal is pink. Experts manage to say that it could be an adaptation to life in the river, due to the temperature or the presence of capillaries near the surface of their skin. However, the most correct theory is that they acquire pink coloration over time. https://www.elperiodico.com/es/extra/20230421/delfin-rosa-amazonas-animal-peligro-extincion-dv-76187349
  17. China's gross domestic product (GDP) grew 2.2% quarter-on-quarter in the first quarter of 2023, right in line with the most widespread forecasts among analysts, according to official data released today. In addition, between January and March, the world's second largest economy advanced by 4.5% compared to the same period in 2022, thus exceeding expert forecasts, which pointed to a rise of around 4%. The figures released by the National Statistics Office (ONE) represent a substantial improvement compared to the data from the last period of last year, when the Chinese economy did not experience any variation in quarter-on-quarter terms, although it did rebound by 2.9% in the year-on-year comparison. . By sectors, the primary grew by 3.7% year-on-year in the first quarter of 2023; secondary, 3.3%, and tertiary, 5.4%. Between January and March, the sum total of all goods and services produced in China reached 28.5 trillion yuan ($4.15 trillion). The ONE pointed to the dismantling of the national 'zero covid' policy, which seriously weighed down the economy last year, as a favorable factor during the first quarter. ”The smooth transition (...) was achieved in a relatively short period of time, with production and demand experiencing a stable recovery, employment and prices generally holding steady, resident incomes continuing to rise, market expectations improved remarkably and the national economy had a good start (to the year)”, explained the institution. According to the consultancy Capital Economics, the rapid return to normality after the 'zero covid' made it easier for the economy to recover faster than expected, something that, in fact, could be the first stone of 6% growth this year, which would greatly exceed the official objective of "around 5%". "With consumer confidence recovering and credit growth accelerating, there is still room for an even greater upturn in activity in the coming months," says the consultancy, which cites data that point precisely to the strength with which the The economy was recovering at the end of the first quarter, it was maintained in April, more on the services front than on the industry front. But not all experts are so optimistic: Louise Loo, from Oxford Economics, expects GDP to accelerate year-on-year in the second quarter due to last year's low comparative base due to lockdowns like the one in Shanghai but also warns of "pressures on the drop” in the last half of the year due to “the loss of momentum in consumption, the exhaustion of fiscal stimuli and a weaker demand from abroad”. The ONE also published other official data for March today, such as industrial production (+3.9% year-on-year), retail sales (+10.6%) or the official unemployment rate in urban areas, which fell from 5.6% at 5.3%. https://www.elespectador.com/economia/macroeconomia/el-pib-de-china-crecio-un-22-en-el-primer-trimestre-de-2023/
  18. A woman suffered a gunshot wound this Friday inside a judicial complex in the south of New Delhi, India. She was attacked by a lawyer with whom she is allegedly in a fraud dispute. The shooting began after a man who appeared to be a lawyer opened fire with a weapon that he managed to get into the complex, bypassing security measures at the site. He shot the woman four times, according to reports from the capital's Police to the Indian newspaper The Hindu. A video posted on Twitter shows the exact moment in which the man, a few meters away, activates the weapon against the woman. It can be seen how the woman tries to run away and get away, but the man continues to chase her and shoot her. In the midst of the amazement at what happened, several people are observed around. Many run for cover, others just walk away. The woman was transferred by several agents to the AIIMS hospital, located near the scene of the events, where she remains in critical condition, according to sources from the medical center cited by the media. Several videos after the shooting show the woman leaving the judicial complex with heartbreaking screams, while several of the people who accompany her squeeze the left part of her abdomen, where she allegedly received the wound. According to Delhi NDTV television, the woman was going to the court to testify in a case related to a financial dispute and was shot inside a judicial complex, before entering the building. This incident occurs months after two shooters entered another court in the northwest of the capital on September 24 and opened fire on a well-known gangster who had come to testify that day, until both were killed by the Police. The current situation of women in India According to the NGO Ritimo, throughout history Indian women have not always suffered as much from male domination as they do today, as traditions from Hinduism have been consolidated, in which although some texts value femininity and motherhood, they prioritizes the almost total subordination of women to men. Shabana Azmi, journalist and former po[CENSORED]r actress of India declared in 1988 that the "glorification of the Indian woman can constitute an eminently dangerous trap that closes on her by idolizing her, depriving her of any possibility to defend herself, fight or enforce her rights." ”. Young girls are brought up with the idea that they have to serve and satisfy "the man." For example, in the laws of Manu, the founding legal text of the Hindu dharma tradition, one can read "during childhood, a woman owes submission to her father, during youth to her husband, and when her husband has died to her children." ; the woman must never be independent the woman is not made to be free”. This is one of the main pillars of the Hindu traditions currently persistent in Indian society, which can partly explain the place that women occupy today. https://www.elespectador.com/mundo/mas-paises/abogado-disparo-en-contra-de-una-mujer-durante-audiencia-en-juzgado-de-la-india/

  20. Pokémon GO players have gone from rage to pessimism, and that's some of the worst possible news for any video game. The changes introduced by Niantic in recent months have led to multiple complaints from a community that now not only feel that their favorite game is a little more hostile, but also that the developers don't even seem interested in listening to them. Playable issues are easy to fix, but loss of trust is a different story. With each passing minute, some users internalize the disappointment of their peers more. Pokémon GO players no longer trust Niantic After the changes to the remote raid system and other features that made it possible to enjoy Pokémon GO without leaving home during the health crisis, many players say that the game is emptier. The problem is especially serious with raids. Users explain how, after the possibility of remote participation was removed, even in the most densely po[CENSORED]ted areas it is difficult to unite a group to participate in them. “I live in downtown Toronto. Yes, Toronto (...) is the largest city in Canada. I haven't been able to find a single person in a raid all weekend," explained one user. This has meant that even players who don't have a problem playing away from home have had their experience worsened because they needed those who used remote raids. When this 'raid' format existed, it wasn't always easy to have large enough groups, but now it's almost impossible. In this sense, the players ask –already without too much hope– that at least a matchmaking system be included in which you have to be present in the raid to participate, but that you can join players far from you. There have also been other ideas and suggestions, but the problem is that everything happened while Niantic did nothing. The developers of Pokémon GO have opted for the strategy of covering your eyes and moving forward. This situation has not been helped by the fact that the last event appeared with some programming errors. What on another occasion would be anecdotal, this time becomes more gasoline for an uncontrolled fire. The environment of one of the friendliest video games that exists has become toxic. Players mistrust the developers and complain about the constant appearance of bugs or other problems. "They are really killing the game, I see very few players now. Very sad," said another player. Pokémon GO still has a committed community, and it's impossible for the game to run out of users overnight. Even more so if we take into account that it is part of the daily life of many players. However, from Niantic they will have to commit to some changes. After all, they just announced a new video game in collaboration with Monster Hunter and this doesn't seem like a very beneficial marketing campaign. https://www.3djuegos.com/juegos/pokemon-go/noticias/estan-matando-juego-jugadores-pokemon-go-pierden-esperanza-que-lleguen-cambios-varias-semanas-protestas-niantic
  21. When Elon Musk bought Twitter, many were already wary of the direction the platform could take, but things got even worse as the changes proposed by the South African millionaire were coming. One of the most controversial was the introduction of Twitter Blue. Users did not like the subscription of about eight euros a month, especially now that the old accounts verified due to their relevance or reliability have lost the mythical blue 'check'. This has led to a rare backlash where some users go after and attack those who have paid for the service with memes. A story that we fans of video games have already experienced. Fallout 76 predicted what would happen on Twitter Fallout 76 is now a much more solid game. It has undergone many changes over the years and added an absurd amount of content. However, when it was launched it was a scandal like few others. Bethesda had had a few skids with the community, but it was a company that had earned a fair reputation for making good video games. This was not the case with the initial version of its title as a service, which barely received a five from the press on its launch date. You have to be self-critical and, although we try to improve, you already know how rare it is to find video games that are barely capable of exceeding enough in the press releases. The point is that the company, before even being close to ending the improvements to the game, added a new monetization system. It was a monthly subscription called Fallout 1st that allowed access to certain blocked features of the game and also exclusive icons or cosmetics. The point is that the players, each time they made use of one of the elements of this paid subscription service, were easy to identify. Things are looking more like Twitter from here on since the differentiating elements are still a symbol of status and belonging not very different from the aforementioned blue 'check'. What happened in Fallout 76 is that some players who did not pay for the premium subscription began to hunt down those who did have this service. They tried to complicate their lives through 'griefing'. The Bethesda game already had some systems at that time to minimize the damage that annoying behavior from other members of the community can cause, but you should never underestimate the ingenuity of the human being to annoy others. In one of the most curious cases, a user assured that "between five and seven people dressed as bears" beat up his character. Just as not everyone ridicules Twitter Blue subscribers, Fallout 76's subscriber-bashing episodes weren't widespread. However, there were very real incidents. Players who already had fun harassing other community members have shifted their focus (traditionally, low-level ones are hunted down) to focus on subscribers. There were also multiple people who claimed that his character was always beaten by non-subscribers every time he used an exclusive item. "Most of the time that a subscriber activates the exclusive emoticon, they get hit, get shot, or receive a disapproving emoji in return," the community explained in a report by the French media Jeux de Video. https://www.3djuegos.com/juegos/fallout-76/noticias/videojuegos-predijeron-guerra-usuarios-twitter-culpa-check-azul-bethesda-se-adelanto-a-elon-musk-decision-muy-polemica-fallout-76
  22. Rocket Lab has recently announced the development of a new rocket for suborbital hypersonic launches. It's called a Hypersonic Accelerator Suborbital Test Electron (HASTE). The rocket will be used to test the DART AE hypersonic aircraft. this is what we know Last month, the US Department of Defense signed a contract with Hypersonix Launch Systems to develop a high-speed test aircraft. It will be used within the framework of the HyCAT (Hypersonic and High-Cadence Airborne Testabilities) programme. The plane is called DART AE. Hypersonix is developing the aircraft in Australia. It will measure 2.8 meters long and will reach a top speed of Mach 7 (8,643.6 km/h) thanks to a straight-through SPARTAN engine. According to a new press release posted on the Hypersonix Launch Systems website, the DART AE has a range of 1,000 km. Previously a range of 500 km was indicated. At this stage of development, the DART AE cannot take off on its own. For that, HASTE will be used. A rocket from Rocket Lab will allow the DART AE to reach its operational speed (Mach 5 / 6174 km/h). Hypersonix experts plan to check the engine's performance and acceleration during testing. Engineers are also interested in hypersonic flight data. https://gagadget.com/es/237844-rocket-lab-e-hypersonix-prueban-un-avion-dart-ae-a-mas-de-8600-kmh-para-ensayar-armas-hipersonicas/
  23. Both from our mobile phone and on the desktop PC, through the web browser we visit multiple Internet pages a day. Many of these focus on news or at least on text content, so saving them in a PDF could be very useful in certain circumstances. It must be taken into account that we do not always have access to the Internet, something that is especially evident in mobile devices. We may not have coverage or direct access to any Wi-Fi network, sometimes for a long period of time. Hence, being able to access these websites, or at least their text content, even if we are offline, will be very useful for us. If we are a little farsighted, we always have the possibility of creating a PDF file with those websites that interest us to continue reading when we are offline. Next, we are going to talk about 2 simple methods that will be very useful in these tasks. Convert websites to PDF with this program First of all, we are going to talk about a web application that you can use directly from your browser for these tasks that we are talking about. In addition, it must be taken into account that it is a completely free and very easy-to-use software solution to convert any website into a PDF. Specifically, we are referring to the tool called HTML to PDF from which we can benefit from its official website. At the same time it is important to know that it cannot be easier to use. In its main interface we find a text box where we just have to enter the website in question that we want to convert. On the right side of it we find a button that will allow us to start the conversion process as such to obtain the resulting file. After a few seconds, which is how long the application takes to carry out the commented conversion, we will have the possibility of downloading and saving that PDF file with all the pages detected on the loaded web. This will allow us to be able to take that file that has been generated on any device to read the content of the page if we do not have a connection. Get the file from the browser However, it can also be the case that we do not want to complicate our lives with external third-party applications. Perhaps many of you will be interested in knowing that we have the possibility of converting any website that we visit to a PDF file using only our favorite browser. In most cases this will be Google Chrome, but this is a feature that we find in most programs of this type. For this we are going to use the functionality known as Microsoft print to PDF. Thus, it is enough that we place ourselves in the print function that the vast majority of current web browsers offer us. Obviously once we have loaded the Internet page with which we wish to work and which we are going to convert. Here instead of using the printer that we have installed on the computer, we select the aforementioned Microsoft print to PDF function. This will allow us to generate an office file with these characteristics to also enjoy these contents offline. https://www.softzone.es/noticias/programas/convierte-cualquier-web-pdf-segundos/
