Regardless of whether we connect via wireless or using an ethernet cable to our router or repeater, if we have certain applications open in the background or simply installed, it is most likely that we will not be able to enjoy the internet speed that we have contracted. Some applications, especially those that run in the background, take up part of our bandwidth, reducing the speed of our computer's Internet connection and impairing the user experience, especially when the main use we make of it is to play online. If you have any of the applications that we show you below, you should consider reducing their activity or using them only when you know that you are not going to use the computer so that your connection speed is not a problem. The use of these programs affects all the devices connected to the same network, so if it is not our PC that has them installed, we must check the rest of the connected devices. download programs If we talk about download programs, we are talking about torrent or Emule type applications (yes, it is still used and works very well). But, in addition, we must also put in the same bag the applications that allow us to download large files in parts. Generally, all these applications run as soon as the PC starts unless we change that option during installation and, due to their nature, they consume a large amount of bandwidth, lengthening the loading times of the videos, reducing their resolution and else. video calling apps Another type of program that also affects the quality of our Internet connection are video call applications, applications that generally affect data upload speed more than download speed, so if we are experiencing problems when uploading content to our cloud storage platform, either using the browser or the background application that is responsible for doing it, we must end the call or, if this is important, temporarily remove the video signal until the files have been uploaded. At that time, we can re-enable the video signal. https://www.softzone.es/noticias/programas/programas-internet-vaya-lento-ordenador/

One of the most common details in the specifications of laptops is that in certain models LPDDR5 is mentioned as a type of RAM memory, which is usually common in mobile phones and on paper, at least in transfer speed it is compared with the DDR5. However, things are not as simple as they seem. One of the advantages that the PC has over consoles is not relying on a single pool of memory for both graphics and general processing, which is something that does happen on mobile phones and video game consoles. The curious thing about LPDDR5 and GDDR6 is that they share one thing in common, they give importance to bandwidth in exchange for sacrificing latency, which means that the processor performs worse. Why is LPDDR5 worse than DDR5 on PC? In theory and on paper, DDR5 and LPDDR5 memory perform the same if we look at their bandwidth, but with a few small differences. The clearest is that there are no memory modules in DIMM or SO-DIMM format that use LPDDR5 memory. That is why the specifications of Intel and AMD desktop processors do not support this type of RAM, since they are not used. However, despite the name of Low Power or low power, LPDDR5 has nothing to do with DDR5 and it is not a reduced consumption version either. They are two different memory standards approved by the JEDEC and consequently have different communication times between both types of memory and this is where the problem comes in. Have you ever wondered why LPDDR5 latency times are not public? Well, for the simple fact that they are much worse than DDR5 and end up being a bottleneck for the system's CPU. In other words, when choosing a laptop, if it has DDR5 memory it will have better processor performance than LPDDR5, however, there are more and more models being sold with this configuration, especially ultra-thin laptops. https://hardzone.es/noticias/componentes/lpddr5-cuello-botella-procesador/

Through a Twitter thread, the former Minister of Finance, Mauricio Cárdenas, explained why in Colombia the dollar moves between $4,800 and $4,900, taking into account that in other countries in the region, the devaluation of their currencies is much less. "If from June 20, 2022 the Colombian peso (COP) had behaved like the currencies of Mexico and Chile, it would now be at 3,500 per dollar, and if the currencies of Brazil and Peru had been followed, it would be at 4,000. Why is it at 4,800-4,900?" Cárdenas wrote as a preamble to his explanation. According to the former minister, the explanation that the devaluation corresponds to a global trend is not true. Nor does he believe that it is about uncertainty due to fiscal management, since Colombia's has been better than Brazil's. For Cárdenas, the main reason why the dollar in Colombia is above the general average for countries in the region is due to the uncertainty generated by government decisions and announcements on various fronts. (What to invest in in 2023 given the high volatility of the dollar). "For me, the main reason is the uncertainty that the government's decisions and announcements have generated in the mining, energy, health, pensions, public services, etc. sectors," he explained in his thread. Finally, he stated that the devaluation is the main reason why food inflation has not subsided (despite the fact that international prices are already falling). For him, "uncertainty has passed a high collection account to the most vulnerable sectors" of the country. https://www.portafolio.co/economia/finanzas/dolar-por-que-esta-en-el-rango-entre-los-4-800-4-900-579425

In recent months, lawmakers in the United States, Europe and Canada have intensified their efforts to restrict access to TikTok, the po[CENSORED]r short-video app owned by Chinese company ByteDance, claiming it puts your security at risk. Last Monday, the White House told federal agencies they had 30 days to delete the app from government devices. Canada and the executive branch of the European Union also banned the app from official devices recently. On Wednesday, a House committee backed a much more extreme move, voting to advance legislation that would allow President Joe Biden to ban TikTok from all devices in the country. Here's why the pressure has increased on TikTok, which has claimed it's used by more than 100 million Americans. Why are governments banning TikTok? It all comes down to China. Lawmakers and regulators in the West have increasingly expressed concern that TikTok and its parent company, ByteDance, could put sensitive user data, such as location information, in the hands of the Chinese government. They have pointed to laws that allow the Chinese government to secretly request data from Chinese companies and citizens for intelligence-gathering operations. They are also concerned that China could use TikTok's content recommendations to misinform. TikTok has long denied such accusations and has tried to distance itself from ByteDance. Are there countries that have already banned TikTok? India banned the platform in mid-2020, costing ByteDance one of its biggest markets, as the government cracked down on 59 Chinese-owned apps, alleging they secretly transmitted user data to servers outside of India. What is happening with the prohibitions in the United States? Since November, more than two dozen states have banned the use of TikTok on government devices, and many universities — including the University of Texas at Austin, Auburn University and Boise State University — have blocked the app from their campus Wi-Fi networks. The app has already been banned from government devices for the Army, Navy, Air Force and Coast Guard for three years. But the bans don't usually extend to personal devices. And students often switch to their mobile provider's data to use the app. Is Congress trying to ban TikTok? Some congressmen would like it to be so. This week, the House Foreign Relations Committee voted to pass a bill that could give the president the authority to ban the platform altogether (the courts previously halted an effort by the Trump administration to do this). https://www.elespectador.com/mundo/america/por-que-los-paises-estan-tratando-de-prohibir-tiktok-noticias-hoy/

The developers of the Lineage OS software have released a firmware for a very old LG smartphone. The case is available for the LG V30. this is what we know The LG V30 is the latest flagship from the South Korean company without AI Vision and AI Voice smart features. The smartphone was presented on the last day of summer 2017, but it did not go on sale until the beginning of December. The six-year-old flagship shipped with Android 7.1.2 Nougat out of the box, but was eventually updated to Android 9.0 Pie. It is now available with Android 13 as part of the Lineage OS 20 software. The LG V30 features a 6" Quad HD screen, a 16 MP + 13 MP main camera and a 3,300mAh battery. The heart of the smartphone is the Snapdragon 835 chip. The flagship case features IP68 and MIL protection -STD-810G.

Contrary to what happened just a few years ago, today everything related to photo editing is within the reach of the majority. This is achieved thanks to the different software solutions, some simpler than others, that we can use for these tasks with images. In fact, many developers in this sector focus on facilitating their projects in order to make them available to as many clients as possible. It is true that when we think of photo editors, solutions such as Adobe Photoshop or the GIMP open source project come to mind for many of us. However, we must bear in mind that we have many other very useful and perhaps more affordable programs and web applications at our fingertips. When we talk about affordable, we really mean that they are easier for those who are not too experienced in this type of task. Therefore, if you do not consider yourself expert users in photo editing, forget about solutions like Photoshop or GIMP that are going to complicate your existence. Next, we are going to talk about an excellent alternative to edit photos in a simpler and faster way. Specifically, we are referring to the application called PhotoScape X that you can download and install completely free of charge on your PC. First of all, we will tell you that it is a software that we have the possibility of downloading from the Windows store, the Microsoft Store. Main features of PhotoScape X editor In the upper part of this interface we directly comment on the different work modes that we can use here. And it is that in addition to editing the photos as such, we will have the possibility of creating our own collages, combining image files, generating our own animated GIFs, cropping photos and more. Perhaps the functionality that we are going to use in a massive way today is the editor as such. https://www.softzone.es/noticias/programas/olvida-photoshop-gimp-edita-fotos-facil/

Wall Street closed a volatile week with gains in its main indicators, driven especially by the data released this Friday that point to the strength of the United States economy. The Dow Jones Industrials broke a four-week losing streak by advancing an accumulated 1.75% in the last five days, while the selective S&P 500 broke a three-week losing streak by advancing 1.90%. The Nasdaq index gained a remarkable 2.58% accumulated in the week, reinforcing the good performance of the technology sector after the significant losses it registered in 2022. The month of February ended Tuesday with losses due to fears of more aggressive interest rate hikes by the Federal Reserve, taking into account that the economy remains resilient. That perspective has led to a rise in the yield on the 10-year Treasury bond, which on Thursday exceeded 4% for the first time since November but lost that level today, giving the stock market a breather. Although the resilience of the economy gives more arguments to the central bank to toughen its policy, this Friday investors seemed to focus on the positivity of the latest measures. The services sector PMI index rose in February to 50.6, its highest reading since June, indicating expansion, while another related index, the ISM, was down a tenth to 55.1 but above expectations. "Product activity is only gradually contracting, while the services sector continues to expand at a solid pace according to the February ISM releases," Wells Fargo analysts said in a note. On the other hand, optimism has reached Wall Street about the economic recovery of China and its potential increase in demand once the harsh restrictions to contain the covid-19 are lifted. The expectations for China have boosted assets such as gold, which has appreciated more than 2%, up to around 1,861 dollars an ounce; or oil, which has done so by more than 4%, up to $79.68 a barrel in Texas. At the corporate level, the results season is in its last throes but the rise of the technology company Salesforce has been notable, almost 15% in one week, after reporting a good quarter and offering good business forecasts.

he president of Colombia, Gustavo Petro, has harshly criticized the recently inaugurated mega-prison that was built in El Salvador to lock up thousands of gang members. The Center for the Confinement of Terrorism (Cecot), as this prison, the largest in the region, was baptized, has triggered several debates over the treatment that prisoners would receive there. “You can see the terrible photos on the networks. I can't get into other countries, (but) the concentration camp in El Salvador full of young people, thousands and thousands imprisoned, which gives one the chills. I think there are people who like that, without a doubt," Petro said. The first 2,000 Salvadoran gang members, locked up under the controversial exception regime that was approved by the Salvadoran Congress to try to reduce insecurity, were transferred to Cecot this week. For the Colombian president, there is a problem with people considering that this is a strategy to reduce crime. “They believe that this is security and po[CENSORED]rity soars. Undoubtedly, we also experience it in Colombia,” Petro said. The president openly criticized his Salvadoran counterpart, Nayib Bukele, for his strategies to combat security. Petro pointed out that Bukele "feels proud because he reduced the homicide rate by subjugating the gangs that are now in those prisons," but that in his opinion these maneuvers are "dantesque." “We did the same. We managed to reduce the rate of homicides and violence, not from prisons, but from schools and universities," said the Colombian president. Hours after President Petro's comment, the Salvadoran president replied. https://www.elespectador.com/mundo/america/son-campos-de-concentracion-petro-reprueba-a-bukele-por-sus-carceles-en-el-salvador-noticias-hoy/

Apple has released a new support document that offers a new service for owners of the Apple Watch Ultra smartwatch. Details Users can already ask Apple to check the water resistance of the watch. Initially, the Apple Watch Ultra can withstand being submerged underwater to a depth of 100 meters and allows not only various water sports, but also diving. However, certain incidents (for example, falls and blows) can cause imperceptible damage that affects the protection. It is precisely this type of damage that Apple employees check. They perform a visual inspection of the watch for visible damage, and if the device doesn't appear damaged, Apple next checks the watertightness seals and depth gauge. The company warns, however, that checking the tightness and the depth gauge can put the device out of service if there is any damage. And then it will already be necessary to pay for the repair, since these cases are not covered by the guarantee. In addition, it must be taken into account that the inspection takes between 7 and 10 working days. It is not specified if this service is paid or free.

Many times you have heard or read the acronym HPC in many hardware news, especially related to supercomputers and data centers. What does HD mean and what differentiates its definition from the rest of conventional systems? We explain it to you in detail. Pesa with its fish seems to us to be the most powerful in the world, even those with an i9 or a high-end Ryzen 9 also equipped with high-performance graphics, there are problems that a conventional PC cannot solve and that it is necessary that they be. for various applications in day to day and technological and social progress. This is where HPC systems come in. What does HPC mean? The acronym HPC is short for High Performance Computing, which in Spanish would be translated as high performance computing and under this umbrella term a whole world is included within computing. Although it is often used as a synonym for supercomputer, we usually call HPC systems made up of clusters of processing powers found in large numbers and working in parallel to solve complex problems that require high speed. The utility of the HPC is wide, but outside the domestic market, since it is being used today for jobs such as the development of new drugs, the automated trading of shares, the creation of simulations for future self-driving cars, etc. Therefore, it is developing the solutions that we will see in the future on our PC. Two examples of its use The first example is the need for automated cars after processing a large amount of information from radar sensors and GPS systems in real time to make crucial decisions in milliseconds. In order for the power of an HPC system or supercomputer to end up in the hands of a home user, the time required is more than a decade. By the way, now it takes all traffic into account and you will see how far we are still from all traffic being fully automated. Urban simulations are also used where the flow of the daily movement of a city is represented to find out if the urban plans will not affect the daily life of citizens when planning a future work or remodeling. Therefore, in general, they are used to solve problems that, due to the volume of data and speed, a conventional PC falls short of. https://hardzone.es/noticias/equipos/hpc-computacion-alto-rendimiento/

Year-on-year inflation in the euro area reached 8.5% in February, against 8.6% in January, driven by the increase in food prices, which even exceeded those of energy. According to numbers from the European statistics agency Eurostat, this is the fourth consecutive drop in the inflation rate, but most analysts and experts expected a more marked contraction closer to 8%. Eurozone inflation had reached a record high of 10.6% in October 2022. Since then, it began a slow retreat that strengthened the optimism of analysts and experts in a further drop in February. According to Eurostat, in February the prices of food (which are counted as a package together with tobacco and alcoholic beverages) increased more than those of energy, as they had been for practically the entire year 2022. This organization also pointed out that in February the Food prices were the main responsible for the inflation rate, with an estimated increase of 15.0%, whereas in January they had registered an increase of 14.1%. Conversely, energy slowed down in February, with 13.7%, whereas in January the interannual rate was 18.9%. The last time that food had more weight than energy in the final result of inflation was two years ago, in February 2021. From that point on, energy began a strong growth trend, which became critical with the start of Russia's invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, an event that caused gas prices to increase exponentially in particular. Thus, the so-called inflation core rose from 5.4% in January to 5.6% in February. Among the main economies of the Euro zone, Germany experienced a year-on-year inflation rate of 9.3% in February, while in Spain it was 6.1%. France, in turn, exhibited 7.2% and Italy 9.9%. The Baltic countries continue to have the highest inflation rates in the euro area: Latvia experienced 20.1%, Estonia 18.8% and Lithuania 17.2%. https://www.semana.com/economia/macroeconomia/articulo/la-inflacion-tampoco-da-tregua-en-europa-y-sigue-apretando-la-economia-del-mundo/202317/

With the arrival at the Casa de Nariño of Gustavo Petro, in different areas there have been efforts to normalize bilateral relations between Colombia and Venezuela, which reached a critical point during the administration of Iván Duque. An example of this is the announced reopening of consular offices in Caracas, Maracaibo, San Antonio de Táchira and San Cristóbal, as well as plans to open another five. Recently, in immigration matters, a strategy was also announced to expedite the normalization of migrants from the neighboring country through the delivery of the Temporary Protection Permit (PPT). "The objective is to resolve the delivery of the PPT documents that could not be carried out due to deficiencies in the process that have come from its beginning in 2021," said the general director of Colombian Migration, Fernando García. In this last week, Migration affirmed that there are 118,032 PPT available in the 12 regional offices of the country that have not been collected by their owners. This document, it is worth remembering, allows migrants residing in the country to enter, stay and leave Colombia and access the offer of public and private services. However, despite the efforts to make the outlook for migrants from both countries more favorable, the remaining challenges are enormous. According to Ana María Cerón, head of humanitarian affairs at the Doctors Without Borders (MSF) mission for Colombia and Panama, only in January 2023 the number of Venezuelans who crossed the Darién, seeking to reach Panama, one of the most common routes and dangerous for migrants, increased by almost 400% over the same period in 2022. Regarding those who remain in Colombia, according to the NGO Dejusticia, of the almost 2.5 million migrants in the country until September of the previous year, 51% are women, the majority between 5 and 40 years old. That is why it becomes necessary to ask about the gender approach that the new immigration and diplomatic policies have in the reestablishment of bilateral relations between Colombia and Venezuela. Both Cerón and Lucía Ramírez Bolívar, Dejusticia's Gender Coordinator, point out that many of the migrant women are victims of different types of violence from the moment they are in their place of origin, before they decide to set out on their journey. “One reason that causes migration is the violence they face in terms of care in services, for example, health. So, there is no access to contraceptives, speaking in terms of institutional violence and violation of sexual and reproductive rights, the lack of care for pregnant women during pregnancy, gynecological and obstetric violence, which causes many women to come here to Colombia, especially everything in the border areas, to request medical services for childbirth care,” says Ramírez. https://www.elespectador.com/mundo/america/urge-una-mirada-de-la-migracion-con-enfoque-de-genero-entre-colombia-y-venezuela-noticias-hoy/

The Ukrainian organization Aerorozvidka has lost its fighter plane "Palayuchiy Shvaynokaras" (Fiery Pig Fish). On his last combat flight he went to attack Russian armored vehicles, but did not return. this is what we know "Palayuchiy Shvaynokaras" is the name of the R18 drone. The other day he caught up with a Russian tank and prepared to attack a second target. During the flight, the Russian military shot it down. "Palayuchiy Shvaynokaras" has participated in various missions and destroyed 30 tanks and combat vehicles of the Russian army during its existence. Flashback We have already written several times about the successes of the R18 octocopters on the battlefield. For example, at the end of last year one of the drones The R18 drone, valued at 20,000 dollars, destroyed the Russian tank T-90M "Proryv" most advanced, valued at more than 2 million dollars. Until September 2022, R18 drones R18 drones of 20,000 dollars from Ukraine destroyed Russian equipment worth 130,000,000 million dollars. The UAV costs about $20,000.

Currently, it has become fashionable to mount liquid cooling, above all, because of how beautiful they are. This type of refrigeration is going to make the leap to an unexpected market: smartphones. OnePlus has presented a liquid cooling system for mobile phones, which has been seen these days during the Mobile World Congress held in Barcelona. Liquid coolers have gained a reputation for being better than any tower-type heatsink. It is claimed that they are better at dissipating heat, although in the long run it is false, due to the loss of liquid by micro evaporation. They are also claimed to be quieter, although many have more fans than a tower type. If a mobile gets so hot... One of the great criticisms that we all make of Intel processors is their high consumption. Said high consumption directly implies a high generation of heat. This forces having to install powerful heatsinks to be able to manage so much heat. Now, we find that OnePlus has presented a liquid cooling system for mobile phones. This system is called OnePlus 45W Liquid Cooling and would be intended for the OnePlus 11 Concept. The focus of this system is smartphone gaming, which generates quite a bit of heat from stressing the processor. While mobile processors are far from desktop processors in power, when running a game, heat generation increases. There are many special mobile fans on the market. This system has two main parts. We have a clamp that fits different sizes of smartphones. In addition, we have a small box the size of a router (approximately) where the pump, the liquid and the fan are. Both elements are joined by a tube that transports the hot and cold liquid, in parallel. According to OnePlus, this cooling system allows us to reduce the temperature of the mobile while we play by up to 20 ºC. It seems to be so, since various media highlight the efficiency of this element. It should be noted that at the moment a launch date is not scheduled and neither is a price, which could well be around 100 euros. https://hardzone.es/noticias/componentes/oneplus-refrigeracion-liquida-smartphone/

Users of AMD's most powerful processor, the Ryzen 9 7950X3D, have found that half the cores go to snuff when running certain games, making them perform like a Ryzen 7 7800X3D today in those cases. Taking into account that the price of one model almost doubles that of another, this is making some users nervous, however, it is not bad news and we are going to explain the reason. To this day, no computer game asks for more than 8 cores. So using a 16-core chip is theoretically overkill today, since half of the threads aren't going to be used today period. However, the one who chooses this is not the game itself, but the operating system that the processes always distribute today with the tendency to search for available resources. In general, this causes applications, of whatever type they are, to use the cores inefficiently, since they do not get all the performance out of each one of them. HP Well, AMD has taken the bull by the horns and with the latest driver for its processors has made a decision that is less controversial Half of the cores of the Ryzen 9 7950X3D are not used in games The images found below these lines correspond to The Witcher 3 running on an AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D and in it you can see several anomalies that have powerfully caught our attention. We have to start from the fact that although 32 CPUs are listed, in reality there are not 32 cores, but the execution threads, since there are really 16 cores with a multithreaded SMT x 2 for each of them. What is striking is that the threads corresponding to the second CCD, which integrates the cores from ninth to sixteenth, have a workload of 0%. And although the game does not require so many processing units to work, we must not forget that behind it there is an operating system and background applications that also consume processor resources. The usual thing is that if one of the resources is saturated, it is to free it partially or totally from a load, making others do that work as much as possible. Although it is not the only thing, we have the other point in the clock speed of the first to the eighth core, they are in Boost speed at all times, while half of the Ryzen 9 7950X3D is on vacation in this case. What's more, at 3.6 GHz it's below the base clock speed. https://hardzone.es/noticias/procesadores/ryzen-9-7950x3d-nucleos-inactivos/

The so-called 'po[CENSORED]r economy' is one of the great bets of the Government of Gustavo Petro. For this reason, it was determined in the bill of the National Development Plan (PND) that the Dane must create a statistical information system focused on these activities, and also, that they must also be incorporated in the Economic Census scheduled for 2024. The po[CENSORED]r economy, as defined in the PND, encompasses "commercial trades and occupations (production, distribution and commercialization of goods and services) and non-commercial (domestic or community) developed by low-scale economic units (personal, family, microbusinesses or microenterprises), in any economic sector”. (Read: Health reform seeks the world's first preventive system: Petro). Portfolio consulted with the director of Dane, Piedad Urdinola, about what the process of building the Po[CENSORED]r Economy Information System (SIEP) will be like. According to the official, the statistical records that will feed the creation of the SIEP include the microbusiness survey, statistics on the cultural economy, the circular economy, the information system on informal economic activities, and other records. “We will start with conceptual and methodological aspects to integrate the information system with other data sources, with other statistical operations. This system will need the interoperability of many sources that do not appear overnight with the National Development Plan. A set of associated statistical issues is already being worked on and they make up this great battery of information that will allow more efficiently, and in the medium term, the design of our SIEP”, he explained. The economic census According to the director of Dane, another key input will be the Economic Census, and in particular, the investigations and records that want to link the issue of informality from different perspectives. Although there are 5.3 million micro-businesses in Colombia, according to official Dane statistics, the economic census is expected to better identify the country's productive units. “The census seeks to detail a universe. If we talk about a po[CENSORED]tion census, it is households and people, a po[CENSORED]tion census measures economic units. In this case, we will follow international guidelines on how an economic unit is measured, and Colombia will include for the first time the economic units of the po[CENSORED]r economy”, indicated the director of Dane. (In addition: Government rejects more than 4 hectares out of 5 that farmers offer). According to the official, it is expected to categorize these economic units by activity and geographical area, and even seeks to include a gender approach, at least in the identification of the heads, or "the heads" of these. In addition, according to Urdinola, from the point of view of people, the Great Integrated Household Survey will be used, the one that provides information on the labor market, and the Quality of Life Survey. It is worth remembering that in Colombia, six out of ten workers are informal, since the national indicator is 58.2%. And for the measurement of non-commercial activities, the Care Economy Satellite Account and the National Time Use Survey will also be taken into account, which allows us to see unpaid domestic work. https://www.portafolio.co/economia/censo-economico-por-que-es-tan-importante-para-medicion-de-la-po[CENSORED]r-579042

The battle for Bakhmut has concentrated the interest of recent weeks in the war in Ukraine. This is a key area for Russia in its attempt to conquer Donetsk. One year after the start of the Ukrainian war, the situation is "extremely tense" in Bakhmut. Volodimir Zelenski assured in his night speech on Tuesday that "the biggest difficulty, as before, is Bakhmut (...). "Russia does not take into account the people and sends them in constant waves against our positions, the intensity of the fighting increases without ceasing." And this Wednesday, the Ukrainian Deputy Defense Minister, Hanna Malyar, confirmed that reinforcements have been sent to the Ukrainian army that maintains the defense of Bakhmut. Meanwhile, Russia claimed that a Ukrainian drone crashed on Tuesday about 100 km from Moscow, near a gas compression station. Three other aircraft were shot down in other parts of the country, without causing damage. In recent months there have been several incidents with drones in Russian territory, although it is the first time that it has occurred in the capital region. "The most difficult winter in the history of Ukraine" The head of Ukrainian diplomacy, Dmytro Kouleba, has assured that Ukraine had "survived the most difficult winter in its history", marked by massive Russian bombings that plunged millions of people into darkness. https://www.elmundo.es/internacional/2023/03/01/63feec6f2700880026176cef-directo.html

LG Electronics, which became the world's third largest manufacturer of mobile phones, announced Monday that it will no longer produce this type of technology after accumulating some 4.4 billion dollars (3.75 billion euros) in losses in this segment in the last five years. The South Korean company, which has a plant in Brazil, announced the decision indicating that it is leaving the "incredibly competitive mobile telephony sector" to focus on other spaces that it considers more profitable. Among the segments in which it sees potential and hopes to focus its resources are components for electric vehicles, future 6G technology, robotics, home automation or artificial intelligence, the Seoul-based company explained in a letter published today. Jobs threatened in Brazil The decision promises to directly affect the operations of the plant that LG has in the municipality of Taubaté (Sao Paulo state), where it has some 1,000 employees who assemble smartphones, screens and laptops. Given the rumors about the closure of LG's telephone business that have occurred in recent weeks, the union representatives of this factory have already told the Sao Paulo media that they fear for the future of some 400 of these jobs. The South Korean company limited itself to stating today in the aforementioned statement that it "will work together with suppliers and partners throughout the process of closing our mobile phone business" and that "details related to jobs will be determined locally." The technology company had already been reorganizing the personnel of its telephony branch for some time and assigning it to other less-deficit segments. In recent years, LG had focused almost all of its Mobile Communications division's manufacturing resources in Vietnam and, in addition to Brazil, maintained some operations in India and China. South Korean media indicated, citing sources close to the matter, that before adopting this decision the company unsuccessfully sought to sell its business to the Vietnamese conglomerate Vingroup, in addition to the Volkswagen group. Inventories still available After announcing the closure, LG indicated that its currently available smartphone inventory will continue to be sold and that it will "provide support in terms of service and software updates for customers of existing mobile products for a period of time that will vary by region." LG expects "the liquidation of the mobile phone business to be completed by July 31, although inventories of some existing models may still be available after that date." Looking ahead, the company promises to continue to make use of "core technologies developed over two decades of mobile business" to apply them to "existing and future products." It is assumed that its exit from this market will mean a short-term drop in its turnover, but many South Korean analysts believe that it will clean up its accounts and that its operating profit for all of 2021 could increase by one trillion won (about 885 million dollars). ) after the abandonment of mobile telephony. The decision to close comes after LG pointed out in its last results presentation in January that the future of this division, in red numbers since the second quarter of 2015 and with accumulated losses of about 5 trillion won (about 4,434 million dollars), was open to "any possibility. https://www.elcolombiano.com/tecnologia/gadgets/se-acaban-los-celulares-de-lg-que-pasa-si-tiene-uno-OK14879766

When we download a file from the Internet, there are many factors that can affect the speed to the point that we either download it at 100% of our bandwidth, or the speed can be so low that it becomes unfeasible. Some factors depend on us, such as having a good connection, while others are beyond our control, such as the state of the servers from which we download the files. Be that as it may, there are some tricks that allow us to speed up file downloads, especially when we use Torrent or P2P networks. The speed of P2P downloads, such as those on the BitTorrent network, depends on many factors. As there is no centralized server from which the file is transmitted, but dozens, or hundreds, of points (users) distributed throughout the network, the speed of these downloads is highly variable, and we can go from using 100 in an instant. % of our bandwidth to download at less than one megabyte per second. Many of these factors (if not almost all) are beyond our control, and there is little we can do to control them. But what we can do is resort to some simple tricks that will help us to make the downloads go better, faster and more stable. Let's go see them. Tricks to download better from the Torrent network The first thing we need to improve our downloads is to use a good client. There are many programs to download files from this P2P network, but not all of them are equally fast or efficient. One of the best known and used is uTorrent, but for some time it has become more of a threat than a program, so we don't recommend its use. On the contrary, there are two Torrent programs that stand out especially in this regard, and they are both Transmission and qBittorrent. These two programs are excellent for downloading all kinds of files from P2P networks, they are light, fast and completely free and without ads. Another of the configurations that users forget is to open the port of the program in the router. We almost always go through something because, after all, the program works. But if we have the port closed, the router will be constantly blocking incoming connections and we will not be able to download at maximum speed. If the router has UPnP we can activate it so that the port opens and closes automatically. But the ideal is to enter the router configuration and open it manually. In addition to the port, it is important to configure rules in the computer's firewall so that it is not the one that blocks file downloads and we can download files much faster. Finally, it is very important to make sure that the file we are trying to download has a good amount of seeds. The seeds are the users who have previously downloaded the file and are sharing it from their computer. The higher the number, the more connections we will have and the faster we can download. In addition, we can take advantage of some protocols, such as uPT, PEX and DHT, to find more pairs in other different trackers. We can activate these protocols from the configuration options of our download program. https://www.softzone.es/noticias/programas/sabias-que-descargar-torrent-rapido/

In a conference that Intel has given in China, the president of the Research Center that the company has in that country has talked about the objectives that they have for 2030 and that can be summarized in making HP chips increasingly smaller and that consume every time less. Which translates into a greater number of transistors and greater energy efficiency. How do they intend to achieve it? Moore's law, which was coined by the founder of Intel and cannot be said to be a law either, but rather an observation, is often misinterpreted since concepts about it are often confused. In any case, it must be made clear that it does not refer to the economy of the chips or their power, but to the density of transistors in a given space that doubles every so often. Although this has been slowing down over time, the reality is that it is still valid today. 1 trillion transistor chips by 2030 from Intel For those of us who follow the progress of the world of chips, that is, of semiconductors, it is very clear to us today that the future, in order to be able to double the density of transistors from time to time, requires the use of new manufacturing techniques. and design, especially concepts such as splintered chips, and the use of three-dimensional structures, that is, stacking chips one on top of the other and all this to make chips that will be up to 10 times more efficient and that will house up to a trillion inside. of transistors. Currently, the most complex chip used in PCs is NVIDIA's AD102, which we think is the central GPU of the RTX 4090, which has a density of 7.6% compared to that target, so we are talking about a Quite a long time for Intel to achieve that goal, what's more, they have considered getting there by 2030, although we don't know if they will do so in their Core CPUs or, conversely, in their ARC GPUs. Let's not forget that the so-called disintegrated microprocessors, or chiplets, make it possible to break the lattice limit of the wafer and create compositions with a greater number of transistors than in a monolithic chip. In any case, we must bear in mind that once the single-piece chips are shipped, the panorama will have completely changed, since it will mean the obvious use of smaller chips, which is also pursued due to the increase in costs that each new chip manufacturing node. An order of magnitude improvement in energy efficiency If we are already talking about energy efficiency, what we have to take into account is that these words, despite being a laudable objective for things like reducing the carbon footprint. We cannot forget that we do not know the power with which they want to measure this parameter and the type of hardware, as well as the performance tests that they plan to use as a reference or failing that today, parameters such as the house of instructions per second, floating point power, etc. https://hardzone.es/noticias/procesadores/intel-eficiencia-energetica-transistores-2030/

Bienvenido

Relations with China have been strengthening in recent years. The potential of the Asian giant in terms of infrastructure, technology and other sectors make it position itself as the leading Asian investor in the country. Ingrid Chaves, executive director of the Colombian-Chinese Chamber of Commerce, spoke with Portafolio about the advances in diplomatic relations. (Read: China disagrees with US sanction for alleged aid to Russia). How are the relationships? They are at their best. This year we celebrate the 43rd anniversary of the beginning of diplomatic relations and China, before the pandemic, became the country's second partner in trade and the first Asian investor in Colombia. What do you expect with the new government? We hope that diplomatic relations will deepen. A good start was the appointment of Sergio Cabrera as Colombian ambassador to China. He has experience in the country and surely this will advance very closely with the relationship with entities, which we consider very good. We have accompanied state visits to China, so we hope it will continue to be so. What plans are you working on? We are waiting for the Belt and Road initiative, which would greatly strengthen relations. It is an initiative in which almost 20 Latin American countries are members, where a memorandum of understanding is signed, which in reality for the Chinese represents a matter of friendship. It is not so much the milestones of a trade agreement, but a matter of mutual benefits in cultural, diplomatic and commercial spheres. What size participation does China have in Colombia? At this time, China is the main investor in Colombia. We have close to 40 companies that have decided to invest, of those we have a total of US$2,000 million and 40,000 jobs created, this as of last year. Surely these figures have increased since the end of 2022 with the presence of more projects such as the Regiotram, the metro, etc. In our joint database with the embassy, we have around 100 Chinese companies that have a representation in Colombia and we expect it to grow. (Also: According to a US agency, the covid would have left a Chinese laboratory). How has tourism behaved? Since 2012, around 3,500 Chinese travelers have passed through Colombia, to reach a peak of 20,000 before the start of the pandemic. That is also the situation that we want to develop and promote from the Chamber. On the contrary, as a Colombian in China, he was affected by the pandemic and the Zero Covid policies, but we hope that he will return to pre-pandemic levels. We had at least 12,000 Colombians in Chinese territory, of whom at least 4,000 were tourists, 3,000 went for business and 1,000 or 1,500 went for work reasons. In terms of exports, how are they doing? We want to promote the export of non-traditional products such as coffee, flowers, textiles, processed products, which are now in trend, and avocado. Our presence there as a Chamber is going to become more important because we are going to open an office in Shanghai in mid-April. China has a great demand for agricultural products and this is what they want to promote. https://www.portafolio.co/economia/china-y-colombia-relaciones-comerciales-pasan-por-su-mejor-momento-579113
