Windows takes up a lot of hard drive space, more than we would like, sometimes. This makes the PC run slower and slower over time. In order for the PC to work without problems, it is necessary to make sure that we have enough space so that it can work without problems. For this reason, today we are going to talk about 5 files and folders that are part of Windows, that are leaving us without space and that, luckily, we can eliminate without problems. First of all, we must indicate that, although the process is safe, and it is also carried out from Windows itself, without programs or strange configurations, there is always that small possibility that something goes wrong and could give us other problems. The changes are easily reversible, in case we have to undo any of the changes. Windows.old, copies of old versions One of the folders that takes up the most space on our PC is Windows.old. The old version of Windows is stored in this folder just before upgrading to a new version of the operating system. It is necessary to go back in case the new update gives us problems and works badly. And, although generally Windows itself should delete it after a while, when we can no longer go back, in reality this is not always the case, and it is one of the reasons why we waste computer space. To eliminate it, we can do it from the Windows Storage Sensor, or from the PC cleaning tool. After deleting it, we will see that we have about 30 GB more free space. https://www.softzone.es/noticias/windows/elimina-5-archivos-windows-liberar-disco-duro/

One of the problems with a laptop is its inability to expand its hardware, something that is understood as a consequence of the portability and lightness of this type of PC. But is a modular laptop that allows expansion capabilities like a conventional tower possible? The answer to the question is simple, due to the fact that due to certain limitations, the power level of a desktop computer is not reached. What's more, laptop parts are more expensive due to the fact that the ones that work in limited power and cooling environments long-term and without problems are much harder to come by, rarer, and therefore more expensive units. Since the vast majority of those looking to expand their PC want the highest return per dollar invested. What is a modular laptop? A modular laptop is one in which its components are not all soldered to the motherboard and, consequently, has the same expansion capacity as a desktop computer, but with certain technical limitations related to consumption and cooling capacity. Compared to a tower, this means several things: The processor in principle would be for a laptop, these are usually soldered to the motherboard and not by socket, so it would be the only part of the modular laptop that we could not change. It would be possible to add a socket, but this would limit the connected CPU in clock speeds and even in functions such as AVX-512 instructions or multithreading due to its higher consumption. The memory modules would be SO-DIMM as in the rest of the laptops and we would be limited to two sockets. In any case, despite the fact that it is a concept that would be possible, laptop manufacturers have never opted for this type of product. The reason for this is that whoever is looking for expansion capacity is looking for a tower, due to the fact that adding it to a laptop adds weight and with it, you end up losing the ability to take it anywhere. https://hardzone.es/noticias/equipos/portatil-modular/

Oil prices rose sharply this Monday after several key players in the market, such as Saudi Arabia, Iraq and Russia, announced a cut in their production as a "precautionary measure" after the recent fall in prices. The North Sea Brent barrel rose 5.31% to $84.13 and the US benchmark, WTI, rose 5.38% to $79.74. So far this Monday, April 3, both indices have recorded increases of close to 8%. The production cut announced on Sunday by Iraq, Algeria, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Oman, Kazakhstan and Kuwait will take effect in May and will last until the end of the year. In total, it implies a drop in production of one million barrels per day. For its part, Russia announced on Sunday that it is extending the cut in its crude production by 500,000 barrels per day until the end of the year. The announcements came ahead of a videoconference meeting of a ministerial panel of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and its Allies (Opec+), a cartel led by Saudi Arabia and Russia. Instead, the United States advocates increasing production in the face of increased demand at a time when China revived its economy after lifting restrictions due to the pandemic. This announcement revives fears about persistent inflation and adds more pressure on central banks to continue raising interest rates. https://www.portafolio.co/economia/finanzas/precios-del-petroleo-hoy-3-de-abril-de-2023-brent-wti-y-opep-580874

Across the United States there is a deep state of anxiety about what could happen after Tuesday, when former President Donald Trump is expected to appear before a Manhattan judge on more than 30 charges related to commercial fraud. In New York, the Police ordered a total mobilization plan: all officers must remain "ready at any time during their assigned tour", with special emphasis on Fifth Avenue, where the famous Trump Tower and the courthouse are located. prisons where the room of the Colombian judge Juan Manuel Merchán, who presides over the case, is located. “This is going to cause a logistical nightmare for the city, because of the protests and because they will have to keep it not contained, but protected,” Rich Frankel, a former FBI agent, told ABC. "They don't have a playbook that they can pull out and say, 'Oh, impeached ex-president, so we're going to do A, B, C and D. This is going to be something completely new," he added. There are reasons to fear. And it is that the scenes of the assault on the Capitol in Washington, on January 6, 2021, remain fresh in the memory of the po[CENSORED]tion. On that occasion, then-President Trump encouraged his fans to march to reverse the election results, in an event that got completely out of hand. Trump, anticipating the impeachment against him, had already called on his supporters to march again, a couple of weeks ago, and some of his bishops, such as Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, have said they will lead the "peaceful" protests in the city. along with the New York Republican caucus. But for Miles Taylor, a former Department of Homeland Security official and expert on the matter, "the concern is less about the New York City arraignment and more about other aspects of the violence that could occur in the rest of the country." , as explained on NBC. This is because Trump does not have as strong a footing in New York as he does in other states. Miles recalls that in August 2022, a gunman attacked the FBI office in Cincinnati after the raid on Trump's residence in Florida, and that in other areas of the country the threat is greater than in Manhattan. “That's what we've seen on Trump's record. Nobody wants violence, but if we look at the past it is very reasonable for us to predict a public safety concern,” Taylor said. Near New York, it is Democrats in Washington who are taking potential security threats very seriously. Some congressmen, such as Representative Dean Phillips, who was one of the people who was trapped in the gallery of the House of the Capitol on January 6, 2021. Phillips decided to let his team work from home Tuesday in the face of alarms. “Much of the language of the former president and his devotees is similar to that which inspired January 6. I am concerned about the safety of my colleagues and my staff," Phillips said. Other congressmen, such as Rep. Palmira Jaypal, have allowed their staff to work from home starting last week in the face of threats. And it is that, added to the assault on the Capitol, is the attack against Paul Pelosi, husband of Nancy Pelosi, former speaker of the House. It is hardly understandable that the Democrats are afraid: the number of threats against congressmen is surprisingly high, with 7,501 cases investigated in 2022, double the number reported in 2017. The question is: have plans for large-scale mobilizations been seen? https://www.elespectador.com/mundo/america/trump-va-a-la-corte-ee-uu-atento-a-una-nueva-amenaza-de-violencia-trumpista-noticias-hoy/

The success of Resident Evil 4 Remake is undeniable: the game tops the sales charts, receives rave reviews from gamers, and is generally of great quality. Three million copies of the game were sold in the first two days of release alone. The success of the release of the updated horror has had a positive effect on Capcom's share price - they have reached all-time highs. For example, the Japanese publisher's shares hit 4,865 yen (about $36), then fell slightly, but in the past month Capcom's share price rose 10% in total. https://gagadget.com/es/231709-las-acciones-de-capcom-alcanzan-un-record-tras-el-lanzamiento-del-remake-de-resident-evil-4/

} The battery consumption of a laptop is one of the points that we must always take into account when renewing our old equipment. If we do not plan to renew it, we can use different tricks to extend, as far as possible, the autonomy it offers us. To all these functions, we have to add a new one that will arrive in the next Windows updates, a function designed to offer greater autonomy on laptops and that can also be used on desktop computers. Microsoft is testing a new feature through the Windows Insider New Features beta channel. One of the most striking functions is focused on reducing battery consumption and, in general, the energy consumed by any computer equipment and which is in charge of automatically regulating the brightness of the screen or monitor. Remember that the screen is one of the components that consume the most energy in any electronic device, be it a laptop, smartphone or tablet. Some laptop manufacturers include a sensor that is automatically responsible for regulating the brightness depending on the light conditions of the environment, increasing it to the maximum when we are under sunlight or reducing it practically to the minimum when the environment where we are is poorly lit. Content-based brightness control However, this sensor isn't available on many laptops, especially non-high-end ones, so the feature Microsoft is working on to allow the computer to automatically regulate brightness is very interesting. If we do not have a brightness sensor, Windows cannot obtain information about how to regulate the brightness level, so it will be based on the type of content that we are playing to increase or decrease the brightness. The content-based adaptive brightness control feature will be available on both laptops and desktops to not only increase battery life for the former, but also reduce power consumption for the latter. To make use of this function, we will have to access the Windows configuration section (Win + i), access the System menu and, then, Screen. Within the screen, in the Brightness and color section, a drop-down box will be displayed with three options: Off, Always and Only on battery. Other news In addition to the function that will automatically adjust the brightness of the screen based on the type of content displayed, the new versions of Windows available through the Beta channel also include two new functions. On the one hand, there are the access keys in the file explorer, which will allow us to interact with the contextual menu of the mouse in the explorer in a much faster way than at present, where we can only use the mouse. The second function makes changes to how the kernel dump is performed to reduce the number of errors and crashes on the computer. https://www.softzone.es/noticias/windows/alargar-duracion-bateria-windows-11/

The artificial intelligence boom has caused a fascination around it, suddenly many see enormous potential applications for it, while others are terrified of it. Although we usually talk about the benefits of it from our articles, we cannot forget that not everything is good and that there is a certain level of danger in this new technology. But is AI a danger to people? Recently in Italy the use of ChatGPT has been banned due to the panic that it supposes that it replaces certain jobs. However, these legal decisions are nothing more than the product of not understanding how a technology works and of completely exaggerating its capabilities, or rather that we live in times where the speed at which information reaches us means that we do not reach it. to contrast it, being the spearhead of fake news and not a problem of the AI itself. Why is AI a potential danger to people? Forget about Skynet or the Matrix, these are nothing more than human fantasies where racist concepts are transferred from the human species to another. After all, they are nothing more than alternative versions of the alien invasion and all of this is part of fantasy every day, so it is important to put your feet on the ground. We must start from the fact that the danger of AI is in turn its greatest virtue, since it is still a set of programs that learn about themselves as they receive new reference data with which to learn. And that is precisely where the problems come from, specifically in four points that are important, but that depend in the first instance on those who introduce the data from which the AI is going to learn. That is, we are human beings who are going to mani[CENSORED]te the potential final conclusion. If one changes the premises, then the conclusion will. If I mani[CENSORED]te them to get a specific result, then the output will be invalid. In other words, being an information verifier will be a job with a great future and that will require a specific and very strict professional profile if we do not want the dangers of AI to emerge. https://hardzone.es/noticias/componentes/peligro-ia-origen/

The Board of Directors of Banco de la República (Banrep) and the Financial Superintendence of Colombia, respectively updated the new intervention and usury interest rates for the month of April, leaving them at 13% and 47.09% . This responds to the Bank's position that, in the next two months, inflation in the country will reach its ceiling and, thus, begin to drop. However, the effects of these adjustments could have a direct and negative impact on productivity and national consumption in the coming months, with a projection to the month of May, as Henry Amorocho Moreno, professor of Public Finance and Budget at the University of Catalonia, explained to Portfolio. Rosario University. "Raising intervention interest rates and usury interest rates is punishing the two lines of the economy: entrepreneurship and consumption." According to the teacher, the increase in interest rates can be seen reflected in the price of inputs that goods companies acquire to manufacture their products, which, after all this process, will be manifested in the final price. to the consumer. Likewise, Amorocho also added the value of the Colombian peso with respect to the dollar, since the Colombian currency has had a huge fluctuation in its value against the United States and, the dollar being the reference currency for price quotations in the international market. , causes the prices that are handled in the Colombian internal market to have a constant change, whether they are up or down. "The effect of interest rates has an immediate effect on the enterprises, because with a volatility of the exchange rate and with an inflationary policy like the one we have, they generate a strong effect on prices, increasing the costs of production," he explained. Regarding the usury rate, the expert assured that the Bank, by raising this concept to a figure close to 50%, seeks to limit consumption, which in a context of inflation that closed in February at 13.3%, may be an explainable measure. However, this adjustment, according to Amorocho, goes against the actions of private banks, which, during the month of March, decided in stages to lower interest rates on some of their products in order to encourage consumption. “What is happening is that the delinquent portfolio is increasing and the demand for loans is decreasing. However, the Superfinanciera, by giving that reading to usury rates that are going to rise, basically with the same application of the intervention rates, leads to the conclusion that this will have effects in a very short time on the levels of productivity and, of course, in the increase in costs, not only in production, but also in consumption”. Therefore, the financial authorities expect that, with the new rates, an inflation ceiling will be reached from which this factor will begin to fall, however, this would be taking place under the risk that the productivity of the companies has a relapse. , thus reducing the supply of products, which would be offset by the increase in prices, also affecting the final consumer. https://www.portafolio.co/economia/finanzas/interes-y-usura-sus-efectos-en-el-mercado-colombiano-580823

Pope Francis, 86, was discharged this Saturday from the Agostino Gemelli Roman hospital where he was hospitalized for three days due to bronchitis, and returned to the Vatican to prepare for the Holy Week celebrations. Leaving the premises, the Supreme Pontiff had a moving encounter with a couple whose daughter died the night before in hospital. The Pope consoled them and prayed for the minor's rest, according to what the Vatican later commented. “Leaving the Polyclinic, Pope Francis got out of the car and greeted the people present. He hugged a couple of parents who lost their daughter last night, stopping to pray with them," reported the Holy See Press Office. The CNN correspondent in the Vatican, Deliah Gallagher, recorded the moment in which the Pope hugs and comforts the mother, asks her the name of the minor and prays with the couple before giving her the blessing. The gesture was appreciated by the woman and her partner. Pope Francis also greeted a crowd and baptized a baby who was in one of the cribs at the hospital where he was being treated. According to the Vatican, the Pontiff told the mother of Michelangelo, as the minor was called, to say when he went to the parish that "the Pope baptized him." The health of Pope Francis is concerned The hospitalization of Pope Francis this week raised questions about the future of his papacy, and fueled rumors and criticism from his enemies, who yearn for a new leader for the Catholic Church. The most conservative sectors have openly challenged the Argentine pontiff, whom they accuse of undermining doctrinal teachings with his openings, by calling for a more tolerant church. His fragile health has "gave oxygen" to those who seek to present him as a weak person and hope that he will follow the example of his predecessor, Benedict XVI, who resigned in 2013 when he realized that his physical and mental strength was not enough, said Robert Mickens, director from the religious daily La Croix International, consulted by AFP. Francisco, 86, who has a number of physical problems and uses a wheelchair, has been highly ambivalent on the issue of his resignation. He has said on several occasions that he would resign if he did not feel up to the job, although he insisted in February that the issue was not on his agenda. The three nights he spent this week in Rome's Gemelli hospital with bronchitis caused "feverish turmoil" among both his allies and critics, says Massimo Franco, an expert on Vatican affairs for the Italian daily Corriere della Sera. "Speculations about the future of the pontificate are now less theoretical," Franco wrote. https://www.elespectador.com/mundo/europa/tras-salir-del-hospital-el-papa-francisco-consolo-a-una-pareja-que-perdio-a-su-hija-noticias-hoy/

In the middle of last month, Poland approved the shipment of MiG-29 fighters to Ukraine. It was later reported that Warsaw might receive European Eurofighter Typhoons from the UK instead. But this question has not yet been discussed. this is what we know Poland has 30 Soviet MiG-29 fighters in service. They recently participated in a NATO exercise where they successfully exchanged data with fifth-generation F-35 Lightning II aircraft. Warsaw plans to send some of its fighters to Ukraine and hopes NATO allies will give it surplus planes in return. Specifically, it is the Eurofighter Typhoon of the British Royal Air Force. The information came to light thanks to a question put by Kevan Jones, a Labor Party MP for North Durham. He asked if the British Ministry of Defense had discussed the possible shipment of Eurofighter Typhoon Tranche 1 fighters to Poland. Defense spokesman James Heappey responded that the issue had not yet been raised. The UK welcomes Poland's decision to provide the Ukrainian Air Force with Soviet-era MiG-29 fighters. The UK is looking into how to support Poland, but talks on the transfer of the Eurofighter Typhoon have not yet taken place. Typhoon fighters have production batches called Tranche and are divided by upgrades. The Royal Air Force has 30 Tranche 1s in service and is scheduled to retire in 2025.

If we want to create any type of document, both regularly and sporadically, we can find one of the best solutions on the market in Google Docs, a platform that offers us three tools to create text documents, spreadsheets, and presentations. The only drawback is that the format of these files is not compatible with Word (although we can convert the documents to this format). Except for this drawback, this platform offers us a wide and varied number of options. Regularly using Google Docs to create jobs for both our studies or work, allows us to take advantage of a fantastic option that Google makes available to us, a tool that automatically takes care of generating a summary of the content of a file thanks, once again to artificial intelligence. If you want to know how this tool works, we invite you to continue reading. Create a summary of any document automatically Google Docs allows us to open any type of document, regardless of its format, this being one of the strengths of Google's alternative to Microsoft Word, which, by the way, includes practically the same compatibility functions. When we open a document for the first time, especially when it is a shared document, it is to know what is the structure that is being followed to continue with the document in the corresponding section, modify the existing ones or expand those already established. If we use a structure using different styles, all the content will always be accessible quickly and, above all, easily for all the people who work on the document as well as for us if we want to see, at a glance, the structure that we have created. Google analyzes the content of the documents stored in Google Drive to, in addition to showing the structure of the document based on the styles used, also shows a brief summary of the content found inside. The content is automatically generated and we can edit it at any time if it doesn't meet our needs. This option is available on the left side of the document once it is opened and is made up of the options: Summary and Outline. The function that is responsible for automatically summarizing each and every document stored in Google Drive is available for free to all users, however, it is not always displayed when opening the document, so it is still has room for improvement. The function that is responsible for analyzing the document to create an outline and quickly access the different sections of the document, works perfectly. As with all the suggestions that Google makes available to us, these are based on our data and are not shared with other applications or services, so we can be calm about what happens to our documents stored in Google Drive. How many privacy scandals has Google been involved in? None, this being the unequivocal proof that our data does not come from there. https://www.softzone.es/noticias/metabits/resumen-texto-ia-google-docs/

Since the arrival of SONY's PS5 and Microsoft's Xbox Series X|S, there has been a wide debate regarding the RAM memory of consoles; It is a hardware component that has evolved a lot through the generations of all manufacturers, and now the controversy has returned to learn that the PC port of The Last of Us Part I requires 32 GB when on consoles it worked perfectly with 8 GB. So, in this article we are going to look back to tell you how much RAM all the most famous consoles on the market have... surely more than one will surprise you. Keep in mind that, in this article, we are not going to list each and every one of the consoles that have been on the market, but we are going to base ourselves on the most used and well-known ones that have been on the market, starting with the famous Nintendo NES. Therefore, we are not going to mention the consoles of almost marginal use nor the portable consoles (well, one like the Nintendo Switch is mandatory to mention) but we are going to stay with those that we consider to have been the most important in history. . RAM memory in consoles through history We are going to start with the Atari 2600, which although it was not the first commercial console in the world, it was one of the ones that had the greatest impact with more than 30 million units sold, as well as one of the most iconic. This console had just 128 bytes of RAM, so imagine what we had on our hands in 1977 when it came out. We continue with the famous Nintendo Entertainment System, better known as the NES Nintendo. Historically, this console sold almost 62 million units, and although half of the memory addressing was in the cartridges, the hardware was equipped with 2KB of RAM linked to its CPU. Two years after the NES came SEGA's Master System to compete with it, with revolutionary hardware that not only incorporated 8KB of RAM but also 16KB of VRAM for video. After that generation of consoles came another two of the most famous and sold, the SEGA Genesis (Mega Drive) that sold more than 35 million units and the Nintendo Super NES that sold more than 49 million units. Contemporary to these two consoles we must also mention the Neo-Geo. The Mega Drive had 64 KB of RAM with another 64 KB of VRAM and, mind you, 8 KB of RAM for audio, while the Super Nintendo had 128 KB of RAM and 64 KB of VRAM (the latter, also shared for audio ). The Neo-Geo had 64KB of RAM with 84KB of VRAM and 2KB dedicated to audio. We put aside the Sega 32X, the Mega-CD and other consoles whose sales were almost marginal to move on to the Sega Saturn, launched in 1994 and which sold more than 9 million units. This Japanese console already had 2 MB of RAM, 1.5 MB of graphics memory and 512 KB for sound... what a leap in performance! But the Saturn was also almost circumstantial because in the same year (in fact, just 11 days later) the first SONY PlayStation was launched, which sold 102.49 million units. Technically it was not much superior to the Saturn, since in fact it had 2 MB of RAM and 1 MB of VRAM, but without a doubt the developers turned to this console and it was the key to their success (after all, the consoles became They sell for the games, right?). Three years after the first PlayStation came the Nintendo 64, which managed to sell almost 33 million units. This 64-bit console had 4 MB of RAM (RDRAM) and could be expanded to 8 MB with an Expansion Pak (that's right, they called it that, “Pak”). Another three years later, the SEGA Dreamcast hit the market, and managed to sell just over 9 million units. It was equipped with, eye to the data, 16 MB of RAM, 8 MB of VRAM and another 2 MB for audio. https://hardzone.es/noticias/equipos/memoria-ram-consolas/

A new increase close to 400 pesos will have the value of a gallon of gasoline in the country, while the cost of the Acpm will remain stable by order of the government of President Petro. As of this Saturday, April 1, the National Government will reduce the value of the gasoline subsidy seeking to reduce the deficit of the Fuel Price Stabilization Fund (FEPC). In a press release from the Ministry of Finance, it is highlighted that the national government continues with a policy of stabilizing the Acpm price and, therefore, the entry to the fossil producer of this fuel stabilized by the FEPC was slightly reduced so as not to impact the price of Acpm given the increase in biodiesel. The government explains that, for April of this year, the retail price of regular gasoline in the different cities of the country, except in Pasto and the rest of the department of Nariño, will be located at an average of $11,167 per gallon. Meanwhile, the retail price of Acpm in the different cities of the country will not have any adjustment, remaining at $9,065 per gallon, the government explained. The press release maintains that the increase in the price of regular gasoline aims to reduce the fiscal impact of the FEPC on the national government due to the dynamics of international prices of refined products, which have increased due to international factors such as the price of oil and the level of global risk that affected the exchange rate (dollar) in the country. The government explains in the press report that, including the increase in the price of regular gasoline, Colombia continues to have one of the cheapest gasoline and diesel prices in Latin America due to the operation of the Fuel Price Stabilization Fund (FEPC), which has mitigated the inflationary pressure of the increases in the prices of oil and its derivatives in recent months. https://www.elespectador.com/economia/finanzas-personales/precio-del-galon-de-gasolina-en-abril-costara-alrededor-de-11167/

Fifteen people were injured in two train derailments that occurred within minutes of each other on Friday in northwestern Switzerland, Bern police said. At the time of the accidents, a strong storm was hitting the region. The first train derailed around 4:30 p.m. between the cities of Luscherz and Biena and the other, about 20 minutes later, in the vicinity of Büren zum Hof, about 40 km away, said Flurina Schenk, a police spokeswoman. Police, medical and fire teams were still at the crash sites on Friday night, he added. In the first derailment, which occurred on the line that surrounds Lake Biena, "the rear of the train overturned to the right," explained the police spokeswoman. In the second, nine adults and three children were injured, Magdalena Rast, spokeswoman for the cantonal police, told Swiss television, who shortly before announced a seriously injured person on Twitter. According to the public transport company RBS, the second derailment could have been caused by hurricane-force winds that hit the Swiss country on Friday. At the time of the accident, a measuring station in the nearby town of Koppigen recorded a gust of 136 km/h, reported Meteonews. A squall centered in southern England on Friday generated strong winds across parts of Europe, including Switzerland, according to MeteoSwiss, referring to Storm Mathis. The strongest gusts were generally accompanied by showers and thunderstorms. MeteoSwiss had warned in the morning that winds of between 80 and 110 km/h could blow in the plains and between 100 and 140 km/h in the mountains. Switzerland has a very dense rail network with frequent services. Although train accidents are not exceptional, they usually do not cause a large number of victims in the Alpine country. The deadliest disaster in Swiss railway history occurred on June 14, 1891, when a bridge built by Gustave Eiffel collapsed under the weight of a train from Basel. 73 people died in the accident. And on September 12, 1982, in Pfäffikon, near Zurich, a train struck a coach going through a level crossing, killing 39 people. https://www.elespectador.com/mundo/europa/suiza-15-personas-heridas-por-accidente-ferroviario/

Lockheed Martin has begun a series of tests of the Patriot PAC-3 MSE interceptor missile with new software. Following the tests, the upgrade will be extended to deployed air defense batteries. this is what we know PAC-3 Program Vice President Brenda Davidson stated that the updates "will improve the effectiveness of the system against evolving threats." He added that Lockheed Martin will continue to invest in improvements to the missile interceptor to provide reliable protection for customers around the world. The MSE (Missile Segment Enhancement) version features a large solid propellant engine and improved actuators. The interceptor is designed to destroy enemy aircraft, cruise missiles, and ballistic missiles. The current test was the first in a series of tests intended to test the latest software update. Lockheed Martin claimed that the PAC MSE interceptor was capable of successfully destroying an advanced medium-range ballistic missile.

When we measure the performance of our computer, there are several hardware components that we take into consideration. In addition to the processor, the GPU or the RAM memory, something that we must keep in mind is the proper functioning of our disk drives. Here we refer to both mechanical hard drives and SSDs, although the difference in performance in favor of the second format is quite important. That is precisely why carrying out different maintenance tasks for these components will favorably influence the performance of our computer in general terms. It goes without saying that here we usually install the operating system, as well as its corresponding programs and personal data. The capacity and speed of these hardware elements is increasing over time, although something similar happens with the software we use. The available space is finite on these drives, so we must maintain a certain order and select all the contents well. In addition, it is never advisable to limit the available space on hard drives. How to Defragment in Windows 11 This can negatively affect the performance of our operating system and can also cause operating problems in certain applications. It is worth mentioning that one of the most common tasks to optimize the performance of these components is defragmentation. This is a process that is carried out through certain specific tools to unite all the contents of the drives and thus speed up access to saved files and folders. For example, in Windows 11, all we have to do is type the word Defragment in the search engine to access the Optimize drives tool. Here we will have the possibility of both analyzing and defragmenting the selected drives. Of course, we must keep in mind that this is a process that, depending on the hard drive or the capacity of our equipment, can take a long time. However, in the long run we will appreciate it and we will notice a drop in access time to our content stored here. What do I do with the SSD drives? This optimization function focused on content fragmentation is something that is especially evident in mechanical hard drives, HDDs. However, many may wonder if this same functionality can be used to improve the performance of solid drives or SSDs. Well, for those of you who have asked this question, say that, if we focus on SSD drives, the same thing happens in Windows 11 as in previous versions of the Microsoft system. With this, what we really want to tell you is that defragmenting a solid state drive is possible, but useless. Keep in mind that these high-performance drives work in a radically different way than mechanical hard drives. Without going into technicalities about the internal functioning of these units, we must know that in Windows 11 defragmenting the SSD will not give us any advantage. This means that we are not going to notice any difference in performance, so it is not recommended at all. We must bear in mind that a good part of the equipment we buy today includes a drive with these characteristics. https://www.softzone.es/noticias/windows/necesario-desfragmentar-discos-duros-ssd-windows-11/

Every time maximum and faster models of solid state drives appear, however, we find that the applications do not show that difference in speed. Why the speed from one generation to another is not as great as you would expect. Which brings us to the situation in which between PCIe SSDs 3 and 4 for practical purposes there is not that much difference. What are the limiting factors of this? In stores we can find a large number of PCIe 3 and 4 SSD drives for PCs that share the space in the inventory, whether we are talking about an online store or a physical store. Everyone knows that in the specifications some double the bandwidth of the others, however, the reality when interacting with the PC is different and for the moment this advantage is totally non-existent. There are no "palpable" differences between PCIe 3 and 4 SSDs, for the moment The first thing we have to learn regarding the practical differences between a PCIe 3 and 4 SSD is that despite the fact that some can go twice as fast as the others, the great reality of all this is none other than the software, that is, , the programs, those that control the flow of data from the storage unit to the RAM memory, as well as any corresponding data movement. In other words, it is a technology that is there, waiting to be used, but that nobody is using at any time. The reason for this is that games are still being made with the hard drive in mind. And it is that the size of the data that is transferred from the storage unit, be it hard disk or SSD, is explicit in the game code, nobody can make a game designed to transmit a few tens of megabytes per second suddenly Increase your transfer capacity by 10 to 100 times more automatically. A small proof of what we say can be seen in the loading screens of the games, if the transfer speed really adapted in all cases we would not see the loading screens or the logos at the beginning. The fact that we continue to see them indicates that many times not even 5% of the transfer speed is used and the higher it is, the lower the percentage of the bandwidth that is used. Not only do these units live by games So we are currently in a situation in which the applications that run under our PC if they benefit from the SSD is not because of transfer speed, that is, bandwidth. But rather the ability to transmit various data in parallel and the lowest data access latency. What's more, although it is said that games will end up standardizing the use of SSDs, many of these systems are used as portable workstations for certain applications. In particular, those that make use of very large files, such as video editors or graphic design programs, will benefit from the use of this technology, since they will only need to load into memory the part visible by the user in every moment. Unfortunately, the main operating system is still intended for use with a hard drive, so it doesn't have the ability to take advantage of hard drives, and generally while you're using the system you won't notice the difference between use a PCIe 3 or 4 SSD. That is, on platforms such as Apple's Macintosh hard drives have not been used for a long time and this is something that graphic design and multimedia editing programs take advantage of very well for their performance. https://hardzone.es/noticias/componentes/ssd-pcie-3-versus-4/

12-month inflation moderated for February in the United States, standing at 5%, compared to 5.3% in January, according to the PCE index published on Friday by the Department of Commerce. Excluding food and energy, the Fed's preferred inflation gauge — the personal consumption expenditures, or PCE, price index — rose 0.3% in February, slightly below the median estimate for a rise. of 0.4% obtained in a Bloomberg survey of economists. Headline PCE rose the same amount, the Commerce Department showed. Family income advanced 0.5%, well below the increase in January, while their expenses grew 0.2%. The PCE index is the one preferred by the Fed to consider the increase in prices, which it expects to bring to 2% in one year, for which it has repeatedly raised its reference interest rates as a way of making credit more expensive and thus discouraging consumption and the investment. Consumer spending, adjusted for prices, fell 0.1% after rising an upwardly revised 1.5% earlier in the year. It is worth remembering here that the typical measure of inflation, the consumer price index (CPI), reached 6% for February of this year in the United States. The next data release, corresponding to the March information, will take place on April 12. This measurement completes eight months of consecutive declines, according to data from the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, as can be seen in the following graph. https://www.elespectador.com/economia/la-luz-al-final-del-tunel-alzas-de-la-fed-podrian-estar-llegando-a-su-fin/

The new concept of Russia's foreign policy, approved today by decree by Russian President Vladimir Putin, directly identifies the United States as the main promoter of the West's “anti-Russian line”. “The United States and Western policy in general have been identified as the main instigators and leaders of the anti-Russian line aimed at totally weakening Russia,” said Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, presenting the updated Russian diplomacy concept during a meeting of the Russian Security Council. Lavrov noted "a level of international tensions unprecedented in the last ten years" and recognized "the existential nature of threats to security and development" of Russia, "created by the actions of unfriendly countries." "The provisions of the concept imply that the anti-Russian steps of unfriendly countries will be consistently and firmly aborted if necessary," warned the foreign minister. Lavrov pointed out that the new document adds the possibility of using the Armed Forces to "repel or prevent" an attack against Russia. “The thesis on the use of the Armed Forces to repel or prevent an armed attack against Russia and its allies is added. In this way we unequivocally declare that we will defend the right of the Russian people to existence and free development,” he said. However, he stated that the new document does not provide for Russia to isolate itself "from the Anglo-Saxon countries and continental Europe." “We do not have hostile intentions by definition against them,” he said. Lavrov indicated that the new concept of Russian foreign policy establishes that "the progressive development of international law must take into consideration the current reality." "In conditions of acute external threats, our willingness to respect the principle of indivisibility of security is confirmed, but only in relation to countries and unions that show reciprocity in this regard," he said. For this reason, he stressed, "the logic of this document (...) reflects the changing geopolitical realities, the actually revolutionary advances in the outer perimeter that ostensibly accelerated with the beginning of the Russian special military operation" in Ukraine. In turn, he observed that the current concept remains faithful to many of the postulates of the previous version, approved in 2016, particularly those linked to "the principles of our foreign policy, and above all its independence and focus on the creation of external conditions conducive to the development of Russia”. Unlike the West, Russia's renewed foreign policy “sets the course toward increasing the potential for strategic partnership with our great neighbors, China, India, Muslim countries, and also the countries of Asia and the Pacific, Africa, Latin America, and the Caribbean,” Lavrov added. Putin in turn called the new concept "balanced" during the meeting. "In practical terms, I call on all colleagues involved in the implementation of a common foreign policy to pay special attention to expanding ties with constructive partners and creating conditions for unfriendly states to abandon their hostile policy towards our country," he said. https://www.elespectador.com/mundo/europa/rusia-situa-a-estados-unidos-como-principal-responsable-de-politicas-en-su-contra-noticias-hoy/

SpaceX is preparing for a second attempt to send US Defense Department military satellites into space. The first attempt failed. this is what we know SpaceX was preparing to send a Falcon 9 rocket with ten satellites into space for the Pentagon. The launch was scheduled for March 30, but the company announced that it had postponed it due to an unknown bug. The mission team started the countdown, but the rocket launch was abruptly aborted 3 seconds before liftoff. SpaceX said that Falcon 9 had an automatic failure at zero seconds. It has not yet been specified what it is due to. SpaceX will make a second attempt to launch Falcon 9 and military satellites very soon. The company said the rocket and payload are in good condition. By the way, the satellites are intended for the early warning system that the American Space Force works on.
