  1. In January 2022, the J-20 Mighty Dragon fighter was first seen with the new generation WS-15 engine. More than a year later, China is preparing to go into series production of the powertrains. this is what we know The prototype equipped with the WS-15 engine has been assigned the tail number 2012. However, there is no information on whether other prototypes (six in total) have been tested with the new generation powertrain. The Chinese People's Liberation Army began receiving production examples of the J-20 starting in late 2016. The aircraft were temporarily equipped with Russian AL-31FM2 engines. As of mid-2019, Chinese WS-10C powertrains have been installed instead. The posting of an image of the J-20 with the WS-15 followed the announcement by an Aero Engine Corporation of China (AECC) spokesperson that the new powertrain was being prepared for series production. It also indicates the phasing out of the WS-10C engines. Asian experts call the WS-15 a "marvel of technology." The propulsion system will provide 186.33 kN of thrust in the afterburner. By comparison, the F-22 Raptor's F119 engine has a thrust of about 172 kN, while the Russian AL-41F1 Type 30, which is used in the fifth-generation Su-57 fighter, has a thrust of 176.5 kN. . According to the source, the WS-15 has no counterpart in this regard, although the F135 of the F-35 Lightning II has an afterburner thrust of 191 kN. The J-20 Mighty Dragon will go into full-scale production in late 2021. The plane China steals American technology to build the fifth-generation J-20 Mighty Dragon fighter, similar to the F-22 Raptor. The People's Liberation Army Air Force has received at least 200 J-20s.

  2. Windows offers us a large number of options to customize the wallpaper image in Windows. In addition to the default options, it also allows us to use photos that we have stored on our computer, download more wallpapers from the Microsoft Store. Another option is to use Bing Wallpaper so that the wallpaper on our PC shows a different image every day. However, in the end, they are still boring static images in most cases. If we want our computer to present a less boring aspect, at least the wallpaper, we can use one of the different applications that allow us to use animated backgrounds. But, first of all, we must bear in mind that, depending on what type of background we are going to use, GIF or video, the consumption of our computer's resources can increase considerably, especially on computers with low performance. The number of applications that we have available to use a moving desktop background image in Windows is very wide and varied. Among all the available options, below, we show you the best options. lively wallpaper Without leaving the Windows ecosystem, within the Microsoft Store we find the Lively Wallapaper application, an application that, in addition to being completely free, includes a large number of animated wallpapers with which to decorate our computer's wallpaper. In addition, it offers us the option of creating our own wallpapers in a very simple way, so any user can give free rein to their imagination and create the wallpaper they like the most. This application is compatible with Windows 10 and Windows 11 and we can download it through the following link. https://www.softzone.es/noticias/programas/programas-fondos-pantalla-animados-windows/
  3. No matter what make and model of fans you have in your PC, there are times when they just don't work the way you want and you need a tool to be able to configure them to your liking. To do this, in this article we are going to talk about Fan Control, a completely free tool with which you will be able to control all the fans installed on your PC in a simple way. Normally, PC fans are connected to the motherboard, and their speed is automatically controlled by PWM based on the system temperature. However, there are times when it bothers you that they make too much noise when the computer is idle, or when you are playing you would like them to work faster to have better temperatures; Whatever your case, with Fan Control you will be able to easily configure them all. Download and “install” Fan Control As we mentioned before, this is a free tool, so you just have to go to its GitHub repository and download it. What you will download is a compressed file that you will then have to unzip in a folder on your computer, that is your choice, since this program does not require any type of installation and you will simply have to unzip the file and run the FanContro.exe program . Of course, to do the opposite, you simply have to access these same options and uncheck the "Start with Windows" box. How to control fan speed As soon as we run the program for the first time, we will be offered to follow a wizard that will not only detect the fans installed in the system, but also perform a series of detection tests automatically to check their maximum speed, minimum speed, etc., according to so that the control we have over them is maximum. And it is that not all fans are the same: for example, in our tests we have used an RTX 4080 that has two fans, and the software has detected that its minimum operating speed was 45% for one and 48% for the other. Once the software has detected all your fans and their characteristics, you will be offered to label them with the name you want to be able to identify them. In our case, we have two fans on the heatsink but they go to the same connector, so we have named it "CPU Fans", but we also have another 4 fans (3 in front and 1 in the back) that are connected to a hub and they control all of them at once, so we've called them “Box Fans”. https://hardzone.es/noticias/componentes/controlar-ventiladores-fan-control/
  4. The Dutchman Max Verstappen (Red Bull) extended his leadership at the helm of the Formula One World Championship by winning the crazy Australian Grand Prix this Sunday, which was held -with three red flags- at the semi-urban circuit of Albert Park in Melbourne and in which the Spanish Fernando Alonso (Aston Martin) confirmed his great moment with a new podium, the third in the first three races of the year. Verstappen, 25, achieved his thirty-seventh F1 victory - his second of the season - by winning ahead of Englishman Lewis Hamilton (Mercedes) and Alonso, who finished third and -at 41- signed his 101st podium in the premier class. (Do not stop reading: Juan Pablo Montoya: 'I do not regret having left Formula 1'). The Asturian double world champion finished third this Sunday at Albert Park, where two consecutive interruptions were decreed with three to go to complete the 58 scheduled laps. First, due to the accident of the Danish Kevin Magnussen (Haas); and then due to the mishaps that occurred after the second re-start, in which Sainz touched Alonso -who had lost third place to his compatriot and returned to the track eleventh- before the race management decreed that the race restarted, for the third time, over a single lap, behind the safety car. Sainz was sanctioned with five seconds, for which he not only lost fourth place, but also finished out of the points (he was twelfth) in a race in which the Mexican Sergio Pérez (Red Bull) led the great comeback, finishing fifth after having started from the 'pit lane'. 'Czech' qualified behind the Canadian Lance Stroll, who completed a great day for Aston Martin, finishing fourth. The Englishman Lando Norris (McLaren) finished sixth, one place ahead of the German Nico Hülkenberg (Haas), in Albert Park, where the Australian rookie Oscar Piastri (McLaren) added his first points in the World Championship in front of his fans, finishing eighth of F1. Chinese Guanyu Zhou (Alfa Romeo) and Japanese Yuki Tsunoda (Alpha Tauri) also scored points, finishing ninth and tenth, respectively. The next race, the Azerbaijan Grand Prix, will be held on April 30 in Baku. https://www.eltiempo.com/deportes/automovilismo/formula-1-verstappen-gana-el-gp-de-australia-en-accidentada-carrera-755878
  5. "Despite strong labor markets and consumer spending in most advanced economies, as well as China's post-reopening recovery, we expect growth of less than 3% by 2023," Kristalina Georgieva said in his keynote speech at the institution's spring meetings. The previous update of the IMF world economic report, from the end of January, already forecast growth of 2.9% in 2023, slightly better than the first estimates published last October. "With rising geopolitical tensions and inflation still high, a strong recovery remains elusive," Georgieva added at the meeting in Washington. "That hurts everyone's prospects, especially for the most vulnerable people and countries," he said. Global growth nearly halved last year, reaching 3.4%, as the shock of Russia's invasion of Ukraine rippled through the global economy, bringing the recovery to an abrupt halt after the covid-19 pandemic. While emerging markets in Asia are expected to substantially increase economic output -- India and China will account for half of all growth this year -- the good news will be offset by a slowdown of 90% of the world's advanced economies. . "Growth remains historically weak, both now and in the medium term," Georgieva said. The IMF chief added that global growth is likely to remain at about 3% for the next five years, the lowest medium-term forecast since the 1990s. Low-income countries are also expected to suffer a double whammy from high borrowing costs and a decline in demand for their exports, which could lead to increased poverty and hunger, according to Georgieva. "About 15% of low-income countries are already in financial stress and another 45% are close to it," he said, calling on wealthier IMF members to do more to provide support. https://www.elnuevosiglo.com.co/articulos/04-06-2023-economia-mundial-crecera-menos-del-3-este-ano-vaticina-el-fmi
  6. Ukrainian Foreign Ministry spokesman Oleg Nikolenko said Friday that Ukraine "does not trade with its territories," in response to Brazilian President Luis Inácio Lula da Silva's suggestion that Kiev renounce Crimea to stop the war. . "Ukraine appreciates the efforts of the President of Brazil to find a solution to put an end to Russian aggression," Nikolenko said on his Facebook account. "At the same time we have to make it clear: Ukraine does not trade with its territories," added the Ukrainian ministerial spokesman. Nikolenko also wrote that "there is no legal, political or moral reason why we should give up a single inch of Ukrainian territory," and reaffirmed that Ukraine stands by its position on this issue. "Any mediation effort to restore peace in Ukraine must be based on respect for the sovereignty and full recovery of Ukraine's territorial integrity, following the principles of the UN Charter," Nikolenko stressed. On Thursday, the Brazilian president had suggested that Ukraine cede the Crimean peninsula to Russia to facilitate an end to the war, and stated that Ukrainian President Volodimir Zelensky "cannot want everything." “(Russian President Vladimir) Putin cannot keep the territory of Ukraine. Maybe Crimea will be discussed. But what has invaded again has to be rethought”, Lula also said in a meeting with journalists at the Planalto presidential palace in Brasilia. Lula formulated at the end of January a proposal for mediation in the conflict in Ukraine by a group of countries. The Brazilian leader plans to present this project to his Chinese counterpart, Xi Jinping, in Beijing next week. The Brazilian head of state said he is confident in the chances of success of this project, and hopes that the group of countries can be created upon his return from China. Russia has said on several occasions in recent days that peace talks are impossible in the current context, and has assured that it will maintain its military operation in Ukraine. Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov insisted on Friday that peace talks on Ukraine should be based on a "new world order" free from US domination. https://www.elespectador.com/mundo/europa/ucrania-no-comercia-sus-territorios-kiev-a-lula-sobre-peninsula-de-crimea/
  7. The James Webb Space Telescope has helped scientists confirm that the JADES-GS-z13-0 object is the oldest galaxy ever discovered. It is another challenge to current theories that explain the evolution of the universe, individual stars, and galaxies. this is what we know In mid-2022, scientists managed to detect four objects in the early Universe. This was one of the first jobs of the new space observatory. One of the four objects found was the galaxy JADES-GS-z13-0. Following a spectral analysis, the scientists concluded that JADES-GS-z13-0 is the oldest galaxy ever discovered. It was formed 320 million years after the Big Bang. The other three objects were designated JADES-GS-z10-0, JADES-GS-z11-0, and JADES-GS-z12-0. They appeared about 130 million years after the formation of JADES-GS-z13-0. The four galaxies were not very massive. While the Milky Way has a mass of 1.5 trillion solar masses, each of the four galaxies discovered last year were only about 100 million times more massive than our own. However, every year three stars are born. Before the discovery of JADES-GS-z13-0, GN-z11 was the oldest known galaxy, discovered by the Hubble Space Telescope about 7 years ago. It appeared 400 million years after the Big Bang.

  8. When we refer to Windows 11, we are talking about Microsoft's most recent release in terms of its operating systems and for which it is betting a lot. In fact, the company has the firm intention of trying to convince the majority of users of previous versions of the system to migrate to the new one. The truth is that the new Windows has as many followers as detractors, and also the software giant is trying to listen to the complaints received by the seconds. Hence, a good part of the news that has recently arrived with the great update sent by Microsoft, is focused on requests from its customers. Specifically, we are referring to the so-called 22H2 of Windows 11, an update that is highly anticipated by the majority. Here we have been able to see a good number of new features and functions that can come to our team at no cost. However, as with many of the major updates that companies send us for Windows, sometimes we run into serious problems. This is something that has been made known in the different forums of the firm, since many users have not been able to update their computers with Windows 11. They find various errors during the process that are not resolved as originally expected. Therefore, below, we are going to show you some solutions to try to successfully update the operating system. Update Windows 11 once and for all These are the most common solutions that we can use in the event that we encounter an error when installing 22H2 in Windows 11. Disconnect non-essential components: It is very likely that we will have several devices connected to our computer during the update process. Apart from the mouse and keyboard that could be considered essential elements, to avoid errors we should disconnect everything else. We are talking about elements such as the webcam, the microphone or the printer. Free up disk space: when updating our Windows operating system, one of the most common errors is that we don't have enough disk space. Hence, we should try to free up space in order to try to solve the problem at hand. This is something that we can do both manually by deleting our own data and uninstalling applications, or through specialized programs for it. Run the troubleshooter: Microsoft's operating system offers us various functions specially focused on solving errors automatically. These are known as troubleshooters and there is one specifically for Windows Update functionality. We find it in the Settings app / System / Troubleshoot / Other troubleshooters. https://www.softzone.es/noticias/windows/instalar-actualizacion-22h2-windows-11-prueba-soluciones/
  9. If you are users of a PC with a hard drive and you play often, the most likely thing is that it will have happened to you more than once. As soon as you minimize the game or inadvertently press the Windows key, the hard drive starts spinning very fast and the fans all over the PC turn on. Well, if it happens to you, it is completely normal and we are going to explain the reason behind it. Every PC today uses a multitasking operating system and, therefore, can handle several applications at the same time, what happens is that when one of them exits the user interaction switch, what it does is put itself in a mode in which it continues to function to carry out tasks that are essential for it to be operational. This is why your hard drive makes more noise The answer to this is simple and don't worry, your computer is not malfunctioning or your hard drive is not starting to fail. Of course, as long as you don't hear the always dreaded noise. If not, this has an explanation, but for this we have to take into account that all programs have three modes of execution: In the first, the program is active, the cursor or the pointer is over it and, therefore, it is interacting with the user. Here the application uses all the resources it needs of processor and RAM. In the second, the application is on the screen or minimized, at any time it can be recovered and consequently we are interested in having it in memory, although in a way that consumes less resources. Already in last place are those applications that have not been closed, but that lack space in RAM, have taken a "photograph" of their situation in RAM and copied them to the hard drive or SSD drive. Knowing this, we can conclude that when we play a game in full screen, what the system does is move all the applications to the second or third state. Of course, it would be best to have as much RAM memory as possible to avoid this, and always in dual-module configurations. The bottleneck, on the other hand, comes from the fact that the hard drive cannot access more than one piece of data at the same time and at that moment we end up overloading it. Doesn't it happen with an SSD? Well no, due to the fact that they have no moving parts. Unfortunately, Windows in order to move data from the storage unit to RAM and vice versa, sizes that a hard drive can support are still used. So today, due to the support of operating systems, it continues to happen, but in a different way. A hard drive is like having a car or a utility to make a move, a SATA SSD is like having several cars at the same time and a PCIe SSD is like having several moving trucks. The problem is that Windows fills one of the moving trucks with the capacity of a car. That is, it does not reduce the number of accesses between both parties and increases the time in which both parties communicate. The best solution? A direct copy of the state of the RAM on the SSD in each application to recover it as it is, but carrying that amount of information from the hard disk would take us eons to recover the system due to the workload, so much so that we would think that we have been hung up the PC. https://hardzone.es/noticias/componentes/disco-duro-acelera-minimizar-juego/
  10. Carlos Sainz's fourth place at the Formula 1 Bahrain Grand Prix was not enough to alleviate the problems at the Ferrari team, which is pressured by victories. And it is not for less, because Charles Leclerc did not finish ahead and that precipitated a meeting between the pilot and the president, John Elkann. A team that was used to winning the title in the highest category of motorsport did not do it 15 years ago and that is already worrying. In addition to the above, David Sánchez, one of the chief engineers, has resigned, which leaves a lot to think about. The media have already started talking about the problems. Gazzetta Dello Sport warns that after the race Leclerc had that meeting. “It is likely that Leclerc wanted to share his point of view with Elkann (there is a direct relationship between the two) and receive guarantees. His contract with the Prancing Horse expires at the end of 2024, the interest of Mercedes has been discussed several times, but that is not the issue that worries Charles, ”wrote the newspaper. https://www.eltiempo.com/deportes/automovilismo/ferrari-en-crisis-charles-leclerc-a-reunion-y-renuncia-ingeniero-750008
  11. Inflation in Colombia accelerated to a new 24-year high, bucking a regional trend and potentially undermining forecasts that interest rates have already peaked. As reported by the National Administrative Department of Statistics, annual inflation as of March 2023 was 13.34%, while the monthly one was 1.05% and that of the current year, 4.56%. The annual data for the third month of 2023 is only surpassed, historically speaking, by March 1999, when the figure marked 13.51%. The acceleration of inflation in March was led by the food, public services, transportation, and restaurants and hotels sectors. And a measure of core inflation, which excludes volatile food prices, accelerated from 10.9% in February to 11.4%. The forecasts and the region Inflation in the country exceeded the median of the projections of 18 economists surveyed by the Bloomberg agency, which was 13.28%. Price increases in Colombia are also the fastest among the main Latin American countries with inflation targets. Of course, the Banco de la República expects the increases to begin to slow down in the near future, to return to its target range of between 2% and 4% by the end of 2024. The Issue raised its interest rate to 13%, on March 30, and extended its most pronounced series of monetary adjustment. The Banrep forecasts economic growth of 0.8% for this 2023, compared to 7.5% in 2022. https://www.portafolio.co/economia/gobierno/inflacion-anual-en-colombia-cerro-primer-trimestre-de-2023-sin-techo-es-la-mas-alta-en-24-anos-580995
  12. Hostilities between Israel, Palestine and Lebanon have been frequent this week. Just a few days ago, more than 350 people were arrested in Jerusalem for an attack in which, according to human rights NGOs, Israeli soldiers attacked Palestinians celebrating Ramadan at the Al Aqsa Mosque. At least 34 rockets were fired from Lebanon into Israel on Thursday, the Israeli army confirmed, marking the largest attack since 2006, when the two nations waged war. Five rockets landed on Israeli soil, 25 were intercepted by the Iron Dome anti-missile system and the remaining four are being examined, a military spokesman said. The projectiles, whose launch has not been officially attributed to any group, have caused at least one injury by shrapnel in northern Israel, where alarms sounded in several towns in the Galilee region. "A rocket was launched from Lebanon into Israeli territory and was successfully intercepted," the Israeli army said in a statement. The Israeli Magen David Adom (MDA) emergency medical service reported that a 19-year-old boy suffered a hand injury from shrapnel, while a woman in her 60s was injured in the leg after falling on the road. to the bomb shelter. On the other hand, Israeli media indicated that a 26-year-old man was also hit by shrapnel while riding a motorcycle near the border community of Shlomi. The launch of about thirty rockets represents the largest attack carried out in Lebanon since the 2006 war, a conflict that Israel waged against the Lebanese Shiite Hezbollah militia. Although, according to local media, the attack on Palestinian militias operating in southern Lebanon is identified as responsible for the projectiles this Thursday. These militias, based in refugee camps in southern Lebanon, launch rockets into Israel at times of tension, the last time a year ago, in April 2022, also coinciding with the police charges at the Al Aqsa mosque in Jerusalem in full Ramadan. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is receiving "continuous updates on the security situation and will carry out an assessment with the heads of security forces," his cabinet said. Hezbollah claimed responsibility in August 2021 - for the first and only time since 2006 - for the launch of a batch of 19 rockets after several Israeli bombardments in response to several days of rocket fire by those Palestinian militias, although security sources take it for granted. that the Shiite group controls everything that happens in southern Lebanon. The launch from Lebanon follows two days of tensions between Israel and Palestinian militias in Gaza, which fired seven rockets this morning, apparently aimed at an Israel Air Force plane. In addition, two other offensives occurred on the night of this Wednesday. The Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, has called an emergency meeting with his Security Cabinet and the Defense Minister, Yoav Gallant, will also meet with the military leadership after being informed by the Chief of Staff of the situation in the border. This escalation of violence comes after two consecutive nights of Israeli police charges inside the holy Al Aqsa Mosque against Muslim worshipers, which left more than 30 Palestinians injured and some 350 detained. immediate counteroffensive A few hours after reporting the attack towards Israeli territory, regional media reported that there was a second attack, this time from Israel towards southern Lebanon. The National Information Agency reported that Israeli artillery fired "several shells from their positions on the border" at two towns in southern Lebanon. A Lebanese military source who requested anonymity confirmed to EFE that the forces of the Jewish State "responded" towards Lebanese territory shortly after several projectiles were launched from a point south of the city of Tyre, in the southern region of Lebanon. The military did not specify what kind of response it is, although Al Manar television, spokesperson for the Shiite group Hezbollah, assured that Israel is attacking the vicinity of the village of Qlaiaa, also in southern Lebanon, with “heavy artillery”. Lebanon's National News Agency (ANN) also confirmed that "Israeli occupation artillery fired a series of heavy shells from their positions on the border, in the western sector" at various points south of Tyre. However, an Israeli military spokesman denied that they have attacked the territory of the neighboring country. Israel drew international condemnation after police intervened early Wednesday to violently evict Palestinian worshipers from the Jerusalem Mosques, Islam's third holy site. The intervention, which left 350 detainees according to the police and 37 injured according to the Palestinian Red Crescent, led to an escalation of rocket fire from Gaza and Israeli bombardments. The incident occurred in full celebrations of the Jewish Passover and the Muslim month of Ramadan. https://www.elespectador.com/mundo/mas-paises/israel-denuncia-un-ataque-con-34-cohetes-desde-el-libano/
  13. US authorities have been fighting the use of Chinese-made drones by government agencies for several years. Little by little, the government has been restricting the use of drones from the Middle Kingdom, and now a total ban has come into effect in Florida. this is what we know Florida government agencies are no longer allowed to use Chinese-made drones. First of all, we are talking about DJI products, which have about 70% of the quadcopter market. The bill was introduced in 2020, passed in 2021, and went into effect this week. Some of the rules already existed before. For example, photos and videos of Chinese drones could be seen in public. In addition, there were special requirements on the storage of UAVs. The authorities believe that the Chinese quadcopters can collect information and send it to the PRC government. Florida government agencies will be able to use drones from Parrot, Skydio, Altavia, Teal and Vantage Robotics. The police and fire services are not very happy about the ban. They have been using DJI drones in their operations for some time and say that it is difficult to find a decent replacement with adequate functionality and a decent price. DJI has already commented on the decision of the Florida authorities. The company has stated that the software and the quadcopters have passed all kinds of tests and certifications from the Department of the Interior and the US Chamber of Commerce.

  14. There is life beyond Chrome. Chrome has been the browser with the highest market share for many years and is installed on 3 out of 4 computers. However, the fact that it is the most widely used does not mean that it is the best browser on the market, far from it. Firefox and Edge are two great options that few people use. Chrome is the most used browser for several reasons. Being available natively on Android mobile devices and tablets, users don't have to complicate their lives and opt for this same browser on their computers. If we visit Google from any other browser, the main page will invite us to download Chrome on our PC. To all this, we have to add one of the strengths of Chrome and that is none other than the extensions also available in Firefox, which have really turned Chrome into one of the best browsers on the market. Both Firefox and Edge are interesting alternatives to Google's almighty Chrome. While the second also depends on a multinational that is interested in our data (Microsoft), Firefox works independently and offers us functions that make it an option to take into account if our needs are very specific. Privacy Behind Firefox is the Mozilla Foundation, a foundation that focuses its activity on improving user privacy through its own browser, implementing a large number of measures to prevent tracking by most of the web pages we visit to That way, they know the least information about us. resource consumption One of the main problems with all Chromium-based browsers, especially Chrome, is high resource consumption. This is due to the habit of Google's browser to update all the tabs that we have open in the background, although it is not really necessary since we are not consulting them, a function that Firefox does not do at any time, keeping resource consumption to a minimum. at all times. Other unique features Privacy and resource consumption are the most important features of Firefox compared to other browsers on the market, however, they are not the only ones, since the Mozilla Foundation browser also stands out for the following: Personalize home screen. Firefox allows us to add up to 4 shortcut files in the home tab, which will allow us to avoid having to search the bookmarks for the web we want to visit at any given time. Recent activity. It also allows us to hide or show shortcuts to the web pages that we visit frequently in order to always have them at hand. Extensions and themes without leaving the browser. Firefox offers us a large number of themes and extensions to customize our user experience directly from the application without having to visit the Firefox store. Thumbnail of the tabs on the taskbar. Another of the functions that we are not going to find in Firefox is the possibility of seeing a thumbnail of all the tabs that we have open in the browser from the taskbar by simply sliding the mouse over it. https://www.softzone.es/noticias/programas/caracteristicas-unicas-firefox/
  15. As time goes by, more and more powerful graphics cards are needed and it is the component that always has a grosser evolution generation after generation. But is there any way that you can predict what future, present and future graphics cards will be like? Well yes, through the games that are in development and their computing and bandwidth needs and in this article we will tell you the keys to all of this, which are the operations per pixel and the overdraw We must start from the fact that not all games have the same technical requirements, but from time to time technically cutting-edge games appear whose development will determine how the most powerful graphics cards should be once they are released. The objective? Whoever makes the title work with the best graphics on the market in the best way will end up being the winner. How to predict the graphics cards of the future? To do so, we must take into account two important points, the first of which is the necessary computing power, which is measured through operations per pixel. Although the number of polygons per second must also be taken into account, this is discarded nowadays as it is executed in the same units and due to the fact that the number of pixels per frame will always be higher than the number of polygons. The second element is the overdraw, which indicates how many times the image buffer will be accessed and, therefore, will have an impact on the necessary bandwidth. In any case, we must clarify that although there are techniques to reduce the cost of both elements, what we are going to focus on is the raw power in both aspects. Pixel Overdraw Overdraw is understood as the fact that the value of a pixel in the image buffer is changed several times during the construction of a frame. This is due to the fact that when building a three-dimensional scene, the polygons that form it are not drawn in a specific order and without the relevant optimizations, it is possible to draw several objects on the same pixel. Other times, instead, it is due to post-processing calculations or interaction between them. For example, an object reflecting a light source or casting a shadow on another. The fact is that from the moment the framebuffer or image buffer is outside the GPU and in the VRAM for each pixel that we modify we need to access said memory. The color calculation is done in the GPU cores and the modification is carried out by the ROPS, units that copy the information from the L1 data cache to the VRAM in parallel. Normally, the bandwidth is related to the number of these units. In other words, in each frame the same pixel will be redraw today dozens of times.

  16. The price of the dollar in Colombia does not stop falling and is positioned, these days, in the range between 4,500 and 4,600 pesos... and falling. This Wednesday, April 5, the last business day of Holy Week, the currency opened at 4,575.20 pesos. And other prices at which it was negotiated were 4,567.38, 4,570.14, 4,577, 4,578.70, 4,582 and 4,586.75 pesos, the latter being the highest of the day. (See: Annual inflation for March 2023 in Colombia was 13.34%). Downwards, the minimum price that the dollar had was 4,561.50 pesos.

Since the last weeks of March, the dollar has had losses and at the beginning of April it has accentuated them. (See: Colombian economy will grow 1.1% in 2023, according to the World Bank). Among the reasons for the rise in the peso, as well as other currencies, is the decision by the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (Opec) plus Russia to cut production by 1.6 million barrels of oil. This fact would also impact inflation. (See: How to take advantage of lower interest rates from banks). For Diego Rodríguez, managing director of Bosk Capital, the OPEC cut (which is added to the 2 million barrels of October last year) and the decision not to increase strategic energy reserves by the United States, as had been expected once the dollar fell, and inflationary pressures put pressure on the dollar. https://www.portafolio.co/economia/finanzas/trm-hoy-precio-del-dolar-hoy-5-de-abril-del-2023-en-colombia-580990
  17. The President of France, Emmanuel Macron, said this Wednesday in Beijing, during a speech to the community of French residents in China, that this country has an "important role" to assume, to achieve peace in the war in Ukraine, for " its close relationship with Russia. "China precisely proposed a peace plan (...) It is about the desire to have a responsibility and try to build a path towards peace," the president told the French community. "China, within its close relationship with Russia, reaffirmed in recent days, can play an important role" in resolving the war, Macron declared. The president also stressed that China was right in rejecting the use of nuclear weapons in war. The "Asian giant" was emphatic weeks ago in seeking peace, an act that Macron thanked this Wednesday. "China showed its commitment to the Charter of the United Nations, the territorial integrity and the sovereignty of nations," added the French president. The French leader highlighted the peace proposal presented by China for the conflict in Ukraine, and made it clear that although they have not accepted it in its entirety, "at least it shows a willingness to commit to seeking a resolution." "This war, which I have repeatedly described as imperialist, colonial, has in fact trampled on many of the principles of the UN Charter, which we, as two members of the Security Council, must resolutely defend," he said, referring to France and China. "I think that defending them is also walking together and trying to find a path towards peace," he added. Do not “separate” from China Macron asked that a "logic of blocks" not be reissued in the face of "voices that are raised" concerned about the future of relations between the West and China. The French head of state, who had not been to China since 2019 due to the health crisis, wanted to distance himself from the confrontational diplomatic approach of the United States in recent years towards its Asian rival. “More and more voices are being heard expressing strong concern for the future of relations between the West and China. And in a way they come to the conclusion that there is an irresistible spiral of increasing tensions,” he said. "I don't want to believe in this scenario," he said. The French leader also wanted to remember the "particularly difficult" three years of pandemic that residents of China had to live through, but he was "happy" to return to the country after his last trip in November 2019. The French president arrived this Wednesday to China to begin a three-day visit in which he will meet with the country's president, Xi Jinping. There will also be a meeting in which the President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, will join. Macron will meet this Thursday with Chinese Prime Minister Li Qiang and the Chairman of the National People's Assembly (Congress), Zhao Leji, to complete talks on issues related to climate change, food security and environmental issues. On his trip, Macron is accompanied by some sixty managers from large French companies or companies based in his country, such as Airbus, EDF, Alstom or Veolia, in search of commercial or investment agreements. Before taking off for Beijing on Tuesday, Macron spoke by phone with his US counterpart Joe Biden, evoking a "common will to engage China to speed up the end of the war in Ukraine and participate in building lasting peace in the region." , according to the French presidency. The French delegation also promised to address the issue of human rights, particularly in the Xinjiang region, where, according to several observers, Uyghur Muslims suffer repression. This visit by Macron is the second to Beijing by a European leader, after the one closed last Friday by the President of the Spanish Government, Pedro Sánchez, after Xi's trip to Moscow last week, in which the Chinese leader and the Russian President Vladimir Putin showed the solidity of s https://www.elespectador.com/mundo/europa/china-puede-tener-un-papel-importante-en-la-paz-de-ucrania-macron/
  18. The Tesla Model 3 is Elon Musk's cheapest electric car. Including all the discounts, it costs more than $30,000. However, the manufacturer wants to make cars for $25,000. this is what we know Tesla held an Investor Day in early March in which it announced the construction of a new plant in Mexico to produce electric cars on a new platform. 5,000 million dollars will be invested in the plant, but there is still no information about the new car. Tesla wants to create a $25,000 electric car and sell 4 million units a year. By comparison, total sales of all company vehicles will be at best 2 million units by the end of 2023. If the goal is achieved, it will most likely happen in the second half of this decade. Also keep in mind that by the end of 2030, Tesla wants to hit 20 million electric vehicles a year.

  19. Each version of Windows has a very marked life cycle from its launch. When Microsoft launches a new operating system, we already know approximately how long it will be on the market and when it will die. And not only with the big versions, but also with each of the system updates. Therefore, it is vital to keep the computer always up to date, within the Microsoft support cycles. And, if you do not know how to do it, we will explain it to you below. Depending on the version of Windows that we have installed on the computer, the process to update to a new supported version may be different. We are going to see the most common cases and how we should act in each of them. Use Windows Vista, XP or earlier If we have a computer with Vista, XP, or any previous version of Windows, it is very likely that we cannot update to one of the most modern versions of the operating system because we do not meet the requirements. We can try to install Windows 10 on the computer to see if the wizard will let us do it, but there is no option to update, so we will have to install it from scratch. We must download the system, create an installation USB or DVD, and start the PC with it to start the installation. We follow it to the point of the partitions, and there we will simply delete all the partitions and let Windows create the new and necessary ones. https://www.softzone.es/noticias/windows/utilizas-windows-viejo-sigue-pasos-ya/
  20. Time has passed and your PC is over five years old and it's time to renew it, or not. If you want to renew your already veteran computer to give it a longer use over time and you don't know how to do it, then keep reading that we have a series of basic tips. In difficult times, renewing any type of equipment is usually an economic burden that is often difficult to assume. Although a computer that is more than five years old may seem old to many of us, it must be understood that the use of any PC can last until it draws its last breath. However, there are times when these already start to show performance problems, even in the lightest applications. That is why we have thought about how you can make a renewal plan for a PC that is more than five years old. How to renew a PC with more than five years of age? First of all, we must remember that good maintenance of your computer is important and after five years of use it is time to do an internal cleaning, as well as a fine-tuning of various elements. So you will have to change the following elements to leave it as the first day: Clean the PC inside. If the fans do not work well, replace them with new ones, You should also check the health of the heatsink mounted on top of the processor. If necessary, change the thermal paste. Secondly, you should consider replacing certain PC components, here we recommend you go carefully and look for a reliable store where you can get them. In any case, it is important which computer we have, to get an idea of the internal components that are compatible and that will give us more performance. What components should I upgrade? If we talk about the components that you must update, the objective is that you do not spend the same amount of money as buying a new PC, what is more, you do not need to renew all of them and not all of them will be able to do so. For example, processors in laptops are soldered to the motherboard and you won't be able to replace them. On the other hand, if we talk about replacing the battery, this is something that only affects a laptop. Be that as it may, this is what we recommend you to renew. Processor Look for one compatible with the socket of your processor and with higher specifications. If your motherboard is under the AM4 platform, you have a good collection of AMD Ryzen processors better than yours to give your computer a second life and on top of that at a good price. In the case of Intel, the CPU socket changes every two generations, so if you have a tenth generation CPU you can mount a higher capacity eleventh generation. RAM Having two RAM modules with much more capacity is an excellent idea to give your PC a Boost in terms of performance, since the configuration that was ideal at that time is no longer so. Today we recommend at least two DIMM modules of 8 GB of RAM each. https://hardzone.es/noticias/componentes/renovar-pc-cinco-anos-consejos/
  21. Despite the slowdown in the world economy forecast for 2023, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) forecasts growth for the Colombian economy of 1%, higher than the latest projection made by the Banco de la República of 0.8%. According to the IMF, by 2023 the world economy is expected to slow down due to the increase in monetary policy rates to reduce global inflation. Global growth for 2023 is projected at 2.9%, a decrease from the 3.4% projected for 2022. The agency added that "despite this, there are recent encouraging news regarding strong domestic demand in developed and developing economies, especially in China." Also read: Technology giant offers loans for more than 4 million without interest However, despite the optimism reflected in its projections, the IMF acknowledges that 2023 will be a complex year and an economic slowdown is expected compared to the previous year, especially in advanced economies. Although it is observed that inflation has begun to decrease, core inflation, which excludes food and energy prices, has not responded significantly to the increases made by central banks. Added to this are potential increases in countries' domestic demand, government fiscal aid packages, and strong wage growth. Consequently, central banks are expected to maintain their contractionary policy to return to inflation targeting paths. In the case of Colombia, the goal is 3%. However, inflation has not let up despite the fact that the Banco de la República has had a restrictive monetary policy since September 2021, when it decided to start raising its interest rates in order to combat inflation. Despite these decisions by the Issuer, the cost of living has continued to rise, although it is expected, according to projections by the Ministry of Finance, headed by José Antonio Ocampo, that it will reach your ceiling this March.
