This Friday the Dane delivered the first report for 2023 of the Indicator for Monitoring the Economy (ISE), which reported an annual variation of 5.8% in January, a figure that reversed the negative trend that the indicator had had for almost six years. months, and showed that at the beginning of the year the economic activity showed positive figures. (Economic activity grew 5.8% in January, according to Dane). Likewise, for the month of January 2023, the ISE showed a month-on-month growth of 2.57%, compared to the month of December 2022, when reviewing the data in the series adjusted for seasonal and calendar effects. As defined by Dane, the ISE is a synthetic index whose purpose is to provide a measure of the evolution of real activity in the economy in the short term. The three groups of activities that the Dane measures, primary, secondary and tertiary, presented growth in the first month of the year, both in their annual dynamics, and in comparison with the indicators of December 2022. Primary activities, which include agriculture and the exploitation of mines and quarries, and which had been performing even negatively for several months, showed a slight growth in the first month of 2023, with growth of 0.56% compared to the previous month. same month of 2022. In relation to the month-on-month growth of the group, it showed an expansion of 1.18% compared to December 2022. Primary activities have an approximate weight of 18% in the national economy. For January 2023, the index of secondary activities (manufacturing and construction) presented a growth of 2.68% in its original series, and in terms of monthly data, the performance was 2.15%. They represent almost 13% of the national economy. Finally, the group of tertiary activities, the one that has the greatest weight in the economy (around 70%) and includes service activities, showed growth of 7.46% in the first month of the year. And the inter-monthly variation was 1.31% in the group. Within these, the branch that includes the supply of electricity, gas, water distribution and sanitation activities reported an annual variation of 2% in January. In the case of commerce, vehicle repair, transportation, accommodation, and food services, the variation was 2.1%. Other activities in this group are information and communications, which presented an expansion of 2.4%, while financial and insurance activities grew 63.3% in relation to January 2022. It is worth remembering that a year ago, this item saw a significant drop on the insurance side, due to the payment that Mapfre had to make to Hidroituango, which explains the statistical rebound. In the case of real estate activities, the ISE variation was 1.8%, while in professional, scientific and technical activities and administrative and support services the performance was 3.7%. The group that includes both public administration and defense, education and health, as well as other services such as artistic, entertainment and recreation activities had a variation of 6.8%. Despite these figures, the director of the Colombian American Chamber of Commerce, AmCham Colombia, María Claudia Lacouture, commented that while the ISE in January of this year was 5.85%, for January of last year the variation in the indicator was 8.51%. “The figures reaffirm that the economy is in a pause process. Although the moderation was expected, actions must be generated jointly to prevent the setback from directly affecting the basic consumption of households, the generation of employment and even that inflation remains high with the impact it has on low-income families. Lacouture said. https://www.portafolio.co/economia/la-actividad-economica-colombiana-arranco-el-ano-con-buen-ritmo-580107

The Community High Representative for Foreign Policy, Josep Borrell, has announced this Saturday an agreement between Serbia and Kosovo to implement "in good faith" the proposal of the European Union on a normalization of relations between the two countries, although it has not been signed no deal. Borrell met today in the town of Ohrid in North Macedonia with the President of Serbia, Aleksandar Vucic, and the Prime Minister of Kosovo, Albin Kurti, to draw up a road map for the application of the European plan. Kosovo and Serbia "have fully committed to respecting all the articles of the agreement and implementing them in good faith," Borrell said after a 12-hour meeting. The community politician was trying to negotiate with his interlocutors how to implement the details of the agreement proposed on February 27 in Brussels by the EU. This pact provides that Belgrade and Pristina recognize the official documents of both countries, in such a way that citizens can travel freely between one and the other, and that Serbia does not prevent Kosovo's entry into international organizations. It is about seeing how the agreement is implemented, the practical steps, who takes them and how. They say the devil is in the details, and sometimes the devil is in the schedule," Borrell said. He admitted that it was not an easy negotiation, noting that “one does not meet twelve hours for something simple” and that the original EU proposal had been “more ambitious”. He announced that Kosovo had committed to "immediately" launch negotiations with the EU to cede an "appropriate level of self-government" to the Serb community in the country. But he added that unfortunately there is no signed deal as Kosovo "lacks flexibility" and Serbia "has refused to sign anything as a matter of principle" even though it is willing to implement the deal. Borrell stressed that the pact to normalize relations is a fundamental piece for both countries on their path towards integration into the European Union and that not implementing it "would have consequences". Carrying out this normalization "has significant benefits for both countries" and not only favors them but also "the stability and prosperity of the entire region," he stressed. Borrell announced that on Monday he will inform the community foreign ministers at their meeting in Brussels and on Thursday and Friday the leaders of the European Union at their summit in the same city. https://www.elespectador.com/mundo/europa/serbia-y-kosovo-llegaron-a-acuerdo-para-normalizar-sus-relaciones-falta-la-firma-noticias-hoy/

Among the many photo editors that we can use at the moment, Adobe Photoshop is one of the most powerful and used solutions. This is a program that adapts to both the needs of novice users and the most professional. Over the years, the software giant, developer of this application, has not stopped improving it in order to adapt to the needs of each moment. Not in vain are we talking about a program that has been with us for a good number of years offering its services. Little by little, new and more advanced functions have been integrated in order to cover the needs of the majority. Today we can find some functions even based on Artificial Intelligence to help us be more efficient when editing our photos. However, as is usual with most of the software we use, Photoshop is not exempt from certain specific problems. For example, it may be the case that on certain occasions the program closes suddenly and we do not know the reason for it. Hence, below we are going to give you some useful solutions to avoid this unpleasant situation. It is not difficult to imagine that when Adobe photo editing program is suddenly closed, we have the possibility of losing our projects and works if we do not save them beforehand. This can be a significant inconvenience for professionals who regularly use Photoshop, or even for ordinary users who are carrying out their own editing projects at home. Close the rest of the running programs: it may be the case that our computer is somewhat limited in terms of its available hardware. If we work with very heavy images, this can negatively affect the operation of Photoshop. The best we can do is close the rest of the running applications to free up resources. Activate the graphics processor: in the preferences window of the photo editing program we find a good number of parameters that we can customize. Specifically, in the section called Performance, we have the possibility of activating the use of the graphics processor in order to improve the operation of Photoshop and avoid unexpected closures. The hard drive is short of space: if the Adobe program runs out of RAM memory to process our work, it will use the PC's hard drive. This means that if we are short of this storage space, the photo editing program could suddenly close. This is solved by freeing up that space on the primary drive. Reinstall Photoshop: in the event that the solutions that we are exposed to are not effective in avoiding the unexpected closing of the program, you may have an internal problem. This means that we should remove it from our computer and reinstall it in order to solve possible problems with the application files being damaged for some reason. https://www.softzone.es/noticias/programas/photoshop-cerraba-avisar-asi-solucione/

There is no doubt that the Raspberry Pi 4 is a resounding success, not only is it demonstrated by the enormous number of applications it has, but also the fact that the demand for it is so great that it is not only almost impossible to find one, but also its price has risen to stratospheric levels. That is why alternatives such as the Orange Pi 5 have become extremely interesting. What does this SBC offer us? One of the most common complaints towards the Raspberry Pi 4 is the lack of power for certain applications, however, the fifth generation of the famous board does not arrive due to the fact that the company in charge of manufacturing them lives a golden age caused by the shortage of components. What causes there to be less supply than demand, raises prices and as a final consequence the benefits on the Raspberry Pi have risen. There is no motivation for a Pi 5 with a user cost that has increased four or even five times. What is the Orange Pi 5? It is a Single Board Computer or computer on a single board, so it is part of the same family of devices as the Raspberry Pi against which it competes and is presented as an alternative to them. Its main feature? The components of its circuitry are much better and reach a much higher power level than the Raspberry Pi 4, to the point that it has a computing power several times higher in each and every one of its components, and this shows in the fact that the Orange Pi 5 can run applications with ease that for the Pi 4 are an ordeal. https://hardzone.es/noticias/equipos/orange-pi-5-alternativa-raspberry/

YouTube announced this Friday that it removes the veto from former United States President Donald Trump (2017-2021), who had been penalized after the assault on the Capitol on January 6, 2021, and that the candidate for the Republican primaries for the next elections 2024 presidential elections "you can upload new content." “We carefully assess the continued risk of violence around the world, while balancing the chance that major national candidates will be heard equally by voters in the run-up to an election,” YouTube noted in a tweet. "I'M BACK!" Trump, who is running for the 2024 Republican nomination, wrote along with a 12-second video in which he exclaimed: "Sorry to keep you waiting -- a complicated subject." Trump's channel has 2.64 million subscribers and more than 4,000 videos. "This channel will remain subject to our policies, just like any other YouTube channel," added the Alphabet company. In May 2021, CEO Susan Wojcicki said the ban on Trump's channel would be lifted when the risk of further violent incitement subsided. Trump was also banned from Facebook, Instagram and Twitter, but these networks also lifted their ban. Despite regaining access to his networks for some time, Trump has not yet published anything on any platform other than Truth Social -a network he created in February 2022-. According to specialized media, Trump has signed an exclusive contract with Truth Social, but this clause could end this year. https://www.elespectador.com/mundo/estoy-de-vuelta-llego-el-regreso-de-donald-trump-a-youtube-y-facebook-noticias-hoy/

The US State Department has approved the sale of Tomahawk cruise missiles to Australia. The deal will amount to nearly $1 billion. this is what we know The US Navy has no plans to buy Tomahawk missiles in fiscal year 2024, but that doesn't mean Raytheon will sit idly by. Japan had previously announced plans to buy Japan will buy 400 Tomahawk cruise missiles worth 1.6 billion US dollars. Now the "country below" is in the queue. Australia will be able to purchase 200 Block V level Tomahawk missiles and 20 Block IV level missiles. The deal is valued at $985 billion. The contract will also include the supply of additional equipment. Raytheon's cruise missiles will be installed on Hobart-class destroyers. The Tomahawk will allow ships to hit targets at ranges greater than 1,800 km, and a feature of the Tomahawk Block V is the ability to change targets in flight and engage moving objects at sea. The Tomahawk is useful for Australia in a region where China continues to develop its missile capability. Specifically, China has DF-21 and DF-26 missiles, which can hit targets at distances of 2,150 and 4,000 kilometers respectively. Australia announced its plans to purchase Tomahawk missiles as early as 2021. Canberra then also announced plans to procure AGM-158 JASSM Extended Range high-precision air-to-surface cruise missiles and AGM-158C LRASM anti-ship missiles for fighters. Both, by the way, developed by Lockheed Martin. Also, let's not forget that Australia is involved in the development of the PrSM missile to replace the ATACMS. The Increment 1 version will be able to hit targets at a distance of 500 km, that is, 200 km more than the ATACMS. In the future the range will increase to 650 km and possibly up to 1000 km.

There are many file types that we use on our team in office environments. Many of you surely know those who natively create programs for us as po[CENSORED]r as Microsoft's Word or Excel. However, there are many other very important ones, such as what happens with PDFs. Initially, this file format that we are talking about now, PDFs, was owned by the software giant Adobe. But shortly after they released the license so that anyone can use them, as is the case today. For this reason, perhaps the most po[CENSORED]r application to work with this particular format is the well-known Acrobat from the same firm. But how could it be otherwise, other developers have been commissioned over time to launch their own projects. Thus, we now have at our disposal a huge number of programs and web platforms to work with our PDFs. In addition, here we have the possibility of carrying out multiple tasks related to these office files. This means that we will have the possibility to edit them, add or delete pages, rotate them, protect them with a password, reduce their size, add signatures and much more. For this we can use some applications or others depending on the available functions of each one. Also, and in order to take a look at its content quickly and easily, today most web browsers are supported. In addition, in these programs that most of us have installed on the PC, we also find some basic editing tools. We will be able to underline contents or mark them with colors if we need it in many cases. Word is the fastest solution to edit a PDF The truth is that there are more or less advanced and functional programs when it comes to working with these documents that we are talking about. There are software solutions that offer us some specific functions, while others make a huge number of them available to us. There are also some that we have to install on the computer, while others we can use online through the web browser. At this point we could say that the most common operating mode when working with a PDF is everything related to editing. With this we want to tell you that in most cases we will need to modify the content of these files. That is precisely why we are going to find the fastest solution in the po[CENSORED]r Microsoft Word that is part of Office. The main reason for all this is that most of you have this text editor installed on your computer, and it is also perfectly compatible with PDFs. Therefore, if we are in a hurry we need to change the content of a file with these characteristics, all we have to do is open it with the aforementioned Microsoft Word for it to load on the screen. We achieve this, for example, with the menu option, Open. https://www.softzone.es/noticias/programas/necesitas-editar-pdf-word-solucion/

There is no doubt that the PlayStation 5 is an excellent console that many of our readers are hooked on, however, its biggest problem is its limited storage capacity, one of the points in which it falls short of its rival, the Xbox. Series X and it is not that the other console has a capacity to shoot rockets. Luckily we can install a PC M.2 SSD to our PS5. Like the recently launched Corsair White MP600 LPX, fully compatible with the console and which promises capacities of up to 4 terabytes of storage. The era of games occupying several hundred gigabytes of storage is here, little by little the 50 GB of Blu-Ray discs are falling short and there are more and more games that cannot accommodate all their content on an optical disc. At the same time, the storage drives of new generation consoles like SONY's PlayStation 5 are constantly moving in the form of game installs and uninstalls. The reason? The lack of space, which leads to the read and write cycles of the flash memory being used up much faster. This is the Corsair White MP600 LPX for PS5 and PC As you can see, it is a standard M.2 type unit with a length of 80 millimeters and with an aluminum heatsink, thin enough to be able to install the unit in the corresponding PS5 bay and at the same time keep it cool. to avoid performance drops. Regarding its specifications, we must emphasize that they are less impressive, not only because of their up to 4 TB capacity, but also because of the fact that with the Corsair White MP600 LPX it uses TLC-type flash memory, which allows it to reach 1000K IOPS for read and 1200K IOPS for write, with a potential life of 3000TB written. Of course, the grace of this unit is that with such a capacity you will not need to uninstall many of your favorite games and not only from the console, but also from the PC. Platform with which it is obviously also compatible and offers speed rates higher than in the SONY console, limited to 5.5 GB/s, since it can reach between 6.8 GB/s and 7.1 GB/s of sequential reading speed depending on the moment. What is expected of any drive of the PCI Express type. https://hardzone.es/noticias/componentes/corsair-white-mp600/

Through a report, BBVA Research released its economic projections for Colombia in the annual period between 2023 and 2024. The premise that will govern the two years will be a necessary slowdown to boost economic growth. In the first place, the main projection is that the national economy will have a growth of 0.7% this year and 1.8% for 2024. These figures are located based on the vision that exists for the country, which is linked to a development in the medium term that will seek to reduce inflation rates. Mauricio Hernández, an economist member of the BBVA Research team for Colombia, indicated that growth will be led by public consumption and the execution of civil works. Additionally, factors such as the recovery of non-residential buildings and the constancy in exports will also contribute to growth; especially in 2024. However, not everything is positive. The balance emphasizes that this year private consumption will represent a slight loss, but from which it will recover in the next period. On the other hand, to reach these conclusions, the bank's analysts took into account the economic state of the country at the end of 2022. Initially, in recent months they have noticed signs of an economic slowdown, largely evident in household spending on durable goods and the housing market. In addition, they detected that this phenomenon was also occurring in the labor market. In that order of ideas, the projection would be to continue under this trend; but what BBVA observes is that 2023 will be the opposite, being a period in which the previous slowdown will seek to have better numbers. Going along the line of the labor market, the study highlights that the formal modality has been on the rise, with 800,000 citizens who took part in 2022. This aspect will contribute substantially to the projected growth. Other relevant elements that were mentioned in the report were fiscal spending, which will increase this year, not only due to the larger national budget, but also due to the high execution of spending, especially in the framework of the regional elections in October. Regarding inflation, the projection considers that there will be a gradual reduction. Specifically, they expect that by the end of the year, the general figure will be reduced to 9% and reach 5% in 2024. The root of this panorama will be the drop in food inflation, which will go from 27.8% (December 2022 value) to 7.6% at the end of the current year. https://www.semana.com/economia/macroeconomia/articulo/estudio-bancario-indica-que-la-economia-colombiana-crecera-07-y-18-entre-2023-y-2024/202305/

A military operation by the Israeli army left at least four Palestinians dead. According to the Palestinian Ministry of Health, the operation took place in Jenin, an area north of the occupied West Bank. Among the deceased was a 16-year-old teenager. The ministry reported that in Jenin, a Palestinian settlement stronghold, another 23 people were injured and had to be hospitalized. "Four martyrs were shot by the (Israeli) occupation in Jenin," the ministry said in a statement. "Undercover special forces of the occupation army infiltrated the center of the city of Jenin, in a street full of inhabitants, and executed three young men by shooting them directly," said the official Palestinian news agency, WAFA. Israeli forces called in military reinforcements both in the city and in the Jenin refugee camp, "and began firing live bullets at citizens and their homes," WAFA added. For its part, the Israeli Army confirmed that its uniformed officers operated in Jenin, where they "neutralized two terrorist agents of Islamic Jihad." The Ministry explained that the four dead are Omar Awadin, 16 years old; Nidal Jazim, 28; Yusef Shrim, 29, and Luay Sghir, 37. Nidal Jazim "carried out important terrorist activities", while Yusef Shrem "manufactured explosives and fired at Israeli soldiers," the Army explained, indicating that "another suspect was neutralized after trying to attack the forces with a crowbar." During the military operation, "there was an exchange of fire between the forces and several armed men, and violent riots were instigated in which the suspects threw stones at the forces," added the Army, which did not record any injuries among its troops. The deaths on Thursday bring to 85 the number of Palestinians who have lost their lives in the area in violent incidents with Israel so far this year, including 16 minors. The Israeli-Palestinian conflict seems to have entered a new violent spiral, especially since one of the most right-wing governments in Israel's history came to power at the end of December, led by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. On Sunday, three Palestinian fighters were killed in a firefight with Israeli soldiers near Nablus, also in the northern West Bank. https://www.elespectador.com/mundo/mas-paises/operacion-militar-de-israel-deja-cuatro-palestinos-muertos-en-yenin-cisjordania/

Samsung will have to spend much more to set up a plant in the United States. The construction cost will increase almost one and a half times the original plan. this is what we know Samsung has announced that it wants to build a new plant in Texas to serve customers in the semiconductor sector. The South Korean manufacturer's estimate was $17 billion to build the second facility. According to the new figures, the company will have to spend $25 billion. The increase of 8,000 million is due to the increase in construction costs. The US government is willing to provide $39 billion in subsidies over the next five years, but the Commerce Department expects the subsidy to cover no more than 15% of the plant's construction costs. Samsung wants to finish the new facility in 2024 and start production in 2025. The plans are justified by the company's desire to claim tax credits on equipment purchases.

Windows puts at our disposal a large number of configuration options, configuration options that we have spread across different menus, which makes it a problem, on certain occasions, to find exactly which option we are looking for in order to solve the problem by that we are facing or modify the operation of some Windows feature. On the one hand, there are the Windows configuration options, configuration options that are accessible from the Win + i keyboard shortcut or by clicking on the Windows start button, then clicking on the gear wheel. On the other hand, we find the veteran Control Panel, with which we can make changes to the system that are not available from the Windows configuration options. Nor can we forget the different configuration options that we have at our disposal through the file explorer, using the right mouse button on the Windows desktop, using the Ctrl + Alt + Delete key combination where we can establish which applications we want to run. start in the system and which ones we want to eliminate, along with the option to enable boot in safe mode, close applications and services among many other options. Shortcuts to configure Windows If we have computer knowledge, we will always know, more or less, where we should go to solve any problem that Windows presents or if we want to modify the operation of any feature of the computer. For users who have an average knowledge of Windows, users who have been using Microsoft's operating system for years and who know where to go to solve any problem, the quickest solution is to use a hidden Windows trick. Windows allows us to create a shortcut that gives us access to all Windows configuration options, the so-called God Mode, a mode that groups in a folder, access to all Windows configuration options. https://www.softzone.es/noticias/windows/5-accesos-directos-deberias-crear-escritorio-windows/

Computer science and technology is plagued with rather curious urban myths and legends that we would hardly find the origin of. One of the most curious legends has to do with a very subtle change in motherboards: color. Specifically, with the arrival of the first black PCBs, it was said that these were and are of better quality, but is this true? Many surely have not known the motherboards whose PCB was green or yellow, some were even blue. Currently, nothing surprises us anymore because we have seen all kinds of colors. Although black and white are the usual ones, we find them in grey, red or a combination of colors. Are black motherboards better quality? For this we must go back many years, a time with processors with a maximum of four cores and graphics cards with compact heatsinks. So, there was not much fantasy in the colors, there were three colors for the PCB. They were usually green and yellow, while Gigabyte used to use blue. Everything changed with ASUS. You may not know this, but ASUS was the first motherboard manufacturer to create a black PCB. Specifically, this color was exclusive to the company's high-end. Today, it is a color that we can easily find in any range of products. https://hardzone.es/noticias/componentes/color-negro-placa-base/

This morning, during a press conference, Bbva Research announced its economic projections for Colombia during 2023 and 2024, the balance of its growth during the last year, as well as the factors that drove this behavior and that very possibly will do so during the next following months. There, the analysts highlighted that the Colombian economy will be able to cope with the slowdown in GDP to 0.7% in 2023, this after the good results it showed last year. That of 2023, according to experts, would be a necessary slowdown. Thus, the projections of Bbva Research for Colombia show that the national economy will have growth of 0.7% this year and 1.8% in 2024. “During this year the economy will grow 0.7%, a result that will be led by public consumption, which will grow 5.9% in 2023 and 4.4% in 2024, in addition to the greater execution of civil works in 2023, the recovery of non-residential buildings in 2024 and the permanence of export growth in the next two years. On the contrary, private consumption could have a slight drop during 2023, to then slowly recover throughout 2024,” said Mauricio Hernández, economist at Bbva Research for Colombia. And it is that, according to what was exposed by the analysts, the growth of 2022 was historically high. The boost came from domestic demand, pushing up imports, but also from variables such as the creation of formal employment, real consumption per capita, real increase in the balance of consumer credit, among others. Regarding the employment issue, Hernández highlighted that "while we have these growth projections, what we expect is that this year there will be no destruction of employment but no creation either, that is, that we will stay at the same level of employment as last year, which, seen with this economic moderation that we are having, seems to be good news. Of course, it seems that there will be more people looking for work, not only the new ones who are finishing their studies, but also probably, in terms of the economic slowdown, a second member of the household will go out to look for work to supplement the household income”. According to the bank's analysts, from the end of 2022 some signs of a slowdown in economic activity began to be noticed, more evident in household spending on durable goods and the housing market. But they stressed that the economy will be able to cope with the economic slowdown thanks to some strengths that it will maintain in the coming years. https://www.larepublica.co/economia/bbva-research-proyecta-que-economia-nacional-crecera-0-7-en-2023-y-1-8-en-2024-3568030

A Russian warplane collided with an American drone over the Black Sea on Tuesday. "Our MQ-9 was conducting routine operations in international airspace when it was intercepted and rammed by a Russian aircraft, resulting in a crash and total loss of the MQ-9," the US Air Force reported. According to the White House, US President Joe Biden was briefed on the incident. "Several times before the collision, the [Russian] Su-27s dropped fuel and flew in front of the MQ-9 in a reckless, unprofessional and unecological manner," the US military statement said. "This incident demonstrates a lack of professionalism, as well as being dangerous," as Russia "nearly caused one of the fighter planes and the drone to crash, the US European Command added." "American and allied aircraft will continue to operate in international airspace and we call on the Russians to conduct themselves in a professional and prudent manner," said General James B. Hecker, commander of the US Air Force in Europe. The crash happened around 7.03 in the morning, Spanish time. The State Department intends to maintain contacts with Moscow on this issue. The statement concludes by noting that "this incident follows a pattern of dangerous actions by Russian pilots interacting with US and allied aircraft in international airspace, including over the Black Sea." These "aggressive actions by Russian aircrews are dangerous and could lead to miscalculation and inadvertent escalation." https://www.elmundo.es/internacional/2023/03/14/6410ab3cfdddff6b128b45dc.html

The Danish Ministry of Defense wants to acquire two types of drones that can perform night and day operations. But there are several important requirements for drones. this is what we know Both drones need to be compact so that they can be transported in cars. One of the main requirements is frost resistance, as the drones will have to carry out missions in low temperatures (down to -40 degrees Celsius / 14 degrees Fahrenheit). UAVs must also be protected against cyber and electronic warfare. The Danish Ministry of Defense will take into account flight time, range and data transfer speed when selecting a drone. Specifically, it is stated that the drone must remain in the air for at least 8 hours and have a range of 90 km. Denmark has experimented with different types of compact UAVs before, but has never used large drones like the MQ-9 Reaper. These platforms are expensive and require advanced infrastructure. On the other hand, Denmark has territorial claims near the Faroe Islands and northern Greenland. There is practically no infrastructure in these regions. For this reason, the Scandinavian country is considering drones with vertical takeoff and landing, which do not need runways. The tender provides for the purchase of reconnaissance drones, so they must be equipped with cameras, thermal imaging cameras and laser target designators. Denmark allocates 107 million dollars to the purchase of drones. The bidding will close on March 23.

Windows 11 is not having the adoption that Microsoft expected its new operating system to have. And it is that some of the changes that were announced, such as the inexplicable increase in requirements or the obligation to use a TPM 2.0 chip, have made many users unhappy with the system, and even directly unable to install it. It is true that, as the end of Windows 10 approaches, this new system is gaining followers. But, if you still have doubts, we will help you answer them. Windows 11 is not very different from its predecessor, Windows 10. What's more, this new operating system has been built on Windows 10, to which a series of changes and improvements have been implemented, especially visual ones, to give shape to this new SW. Therefore, it is not a change as big as the jump from Windows XP to Vista, or from Windows 7 to 8, but rather a change like the one from Vista to 7, or from 8 to Windows 10 . Despite the increase in requirements, if Windows 10 worked fine on your computer, with Windows 11 you won't have any problems either. However, we do want to clarify the 5 keys to the operating system so that you can resolve your doubts and decide whether or not you want to update. Windows 11 is free if you come from Windows 10 Until Windows 10, all new versions of Windows were paid. It is true that there were different discounts depending on whether we had bought a previous version of the OS, but it was time, yes or yes, to checkout. That's a thing for the past. Just as Microsoft updated Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 licenses to Windows 10, if we already have a Windows 10 license, we will be able to upgrade to Windows 11 for free. It is an ideal operating system to play Microsoft is betting a lot on "Play Anywhere", that is, being able to play the same games, and with a similar experience, on both Xbox and PC. To do this, Windows 11 launches two new APIs that will greatly improve the gaming experience on PC. The first of these is automatic HDR, which will allow us to activate this quality improvement in games automatically. And the second Direct Storage, a system that, thanks to SSDs, we can achieve instant load times. https://www.softzone.es/noticias/windows/5-claves-saber-antes-instalar-windows-11/

A few days ago Counter-Strike: Global Offensive set the record of 1.4 million simultaneous players on Steam. Since the game is free to play, the user count has only increased to date. If you like CS:GO, we have created the perfect PC to play it for less than 600 Euros. We have to say that the primary configuration far exceeds the needs.

The pandemic and different social situations, such as the war between Russia and Ukraine, have led the world economies to find themselves at more and more crossroads that give rise to difficulties in the management of government public goods. International governments seek new movements that allow giving rise to an economy with greater room for maneuver, as have been the changes within the interest rates managed by world banks, which have given way to think that the impact projected by the possible recession would try to be reduced, in a job that seems endless due to high inflation. In the specific case of the United States, inflation accelerated slightly, especially in housing costs, which led the Federal Reserve (FED) and Jerome Powell, its president, to pay specific attention to market dynamics. American, and to "get down to business" with the rise in interest rates announced last February. Specifically in the case of Europe, which has presented various difficulties due to the war between Russia and Ukraine, according to a report by the firm Natixis, the present seems to be a little more encouraging due to the measures taken, such as the increase of 50 basis points to official interest rates. The slight decline in inflation and the price of energy in recent months calls for something more positive in this context, in fact, the president of the European Central Bank (ECB), Christine Lagarde, projected an increase of even 50 basis points more to interest rates. https://www.semana.com/economia/macroeconomia/articulo/el-mundo-aun-se-dirige-hacia-una-recesion-inminente-esto-dicen-los-expertos/202347/

The president of Mexico, Andrés Manuel López Obrador, assured this Monday that his country is “safer” than the United States, despite the recent kidnapping of four citizens of that country, two of whom died in captivity. "Mexico is safer than the United States and there is no problem to travel through Mexico safely," López Obrador said during his usual press conference. The leftist president made the comparison when questioned about warnings from Washington for Americans to avoid traveling or exercise extreme caution in 30 of the 32 Mexican states. "Why this paranoia?" Launched the president, who took the opportunity to once again reject the idea of US congressmen that the Army of their country fight drug traffickers wherever they are. “It is a campaign against Mexico by the conservative politicians of the United States,” said the president, who last Friday branded those legislators as “wimps” and accused them of engaging in “politicking” in the face of the 2024 US presidential elections. . López Obrador received a group of US congressmen and the US ambassador to Mexico, Ken Salazar, on Monday to explain his efforts against trafficking in fentanyl - a highly lethal opiate - and address bilateral trade disputes. The group of eight legislators, led by Missouri Republican Congressman Jason Smith, was made up of five other representatives of that party and two Democrats, the presidency said in a statement. “We are partners (...) forever. Sometimes there are concerns, disagreements, but we know that we are united," Salazar told reporters after the meeting. At the meeting, López Obrador explained the "work that Mexico has been doing, especially in terms of fentanyl," said Roberto Velasco, representative of the Mexican Foreign Ministry. The Secretary of Economy, Raquel Buenrostro, and the Undersecretary of Finance, Gabriel Yorio, also participated in the meeting where the effort "to maintain and expand" bilateral trade was highlighted, added the presidency. https://www.elespectador.com/mundo/america/lopez-obrador-dice-que-mexico-es-mas-seguro-que-estados-unidos-noticias-hoy/

Scientists have discovered a galaxy in which star formation has stopped. The James Webb Space Telescope has helped. this is what we know GS-9209 is the oldest known extinct galaxy. Almost all of its stars appeared between 600 and 800 million years after the Big Bang. However, the star formation stopped suddenly. Over 200 million years, GS-9209 was capable of accumulating the mass of 40 billion suns, the mass of the Milky Way. Scientists believe that the sudden cessation of star formation may be due to the behavior of a supermassive black hole at the center of the galaxy. According to astronomers at the Royal Observatory in Edinburgh, the black hole has become a quasar that emits 1 trillion times more radiation than stars in the process of absorbing matter. This is enough to prevent the gas needed to form stars from contracting. The researchers now plan to study the galaxy GS-9209 in more detail. The Extra Large Telescope of the European Southern Observatory will help them do this. But the observatory is still under construction.

With the arrival of Windows 11, Microsoft changed the usual location of the taskbar, a movement justified, according to the company, by the change in the format of the monitors, currently being the majority panoramic, forcing users to move their eyes slightly when they wanted to interact with him. Although, within the Windows options, we can relocate the start button to the left, this is not one of the changes that users miss the most. When it comes to interacting with both Windows and the different files that we have stored on the computer, we have different tools at our disposal, however, one of the most useful and that allows us to perform tasks very quickly and easily is the menu contextual that is displayed when clicking the right mouse button. To make Windows easier to use, with the arrival of Windows 11, Microsoft simplified the design of this menu, replacing words with icons and, in addition, cutting the number of options that are displayed, forcing the user to make an additional click if they want access additional features, functions that were not hidden under another menu in Windows 10. https://www.softzone.es/noticias/windows/funcion-echamos-menos-windows-11/
