  2. For many, the sound that the iPhone makes when you take a photo is very positive, since it gives them the sensation of having a traditional camera in their hands and, in addition, they know in this way when they press the button exactly. But, for others, this is not something they like, and they want to remove it no matter what. We tell you how to do this by taking advantage of the options of the phone's own operating system. Apple has thought of this option for its iPhone, so you will find official possibilities to eliminate the sound we are talking about without having to do anything complex or strange. That is to say, everything is simple and, what is more important, safe. Therefore, all you have to do is know exactly where are the tools that are included in iOS to eliminate the sound that is played when taking a photo. How to turn off the sound when taking a photo on iPhone Leaving aside a possibility that is as obvious as it is effective. As it is to put the smartphone on silent with the side switch, it is more than possible that what you want is to get what we say without having to silence the rest of the notifications. And, luckily, there is this possibility as we are going to show you. The best option in this case is to use Apple Live Photos, as there is a possibility in the camera app interface to mute the shutter sound on the iPhone. This is a function that is integrated into practically all of the smartphones that the Cupertino company has on the market, so it is not something that is only for a few. You have to take the following steps: Open the iPhone Camera app. In the upper right area of the screen you will see an icon that has concentric circles as a representative image. You must check that the element we are talking about does not show a bar that crosses it and that it has a yellow color. Now you can press the shutter button to take photos and, surprise, it won't make any noise to indicate that the shot has been taken. Everything is that simple and, obviously, you can always use this option on your iPhone. If you want the sound to return when using Live Photos on your terminal, simply click on the icon so that it loses the yellow color and, therefore, the operation of the app in question will be as usual. Come on, zero complications.

  3. Whether you spend hours a day listening to all kinds of music, or if you only listen to the four trendy songs from time to time, surely you have Spotify installed on your computer. This is the largest streaming music platform with which we can listen to all the music that exists for free. However, it is easy that when listening to music, we find that the volume of the music is much lower than expected. Fortunately, it has an easy solution. It is true that Spotify has fallen behind in terms of music quality compared to other platforms, such as Apple Music, which offer, for example, Dolby Atmos sound and lossless quality. However, that doesn't mean Spotify music has to be played low. What's more, probably, unless we are audiophiles, we will not notice a difference between a loseless and a normal quality. What is quite annoying is that we put on our headphones and, even at maximum volume, the songs are heard too low. If we are encountering this problem, we do not have to despair. We will explain how we can solve it. Of course, after making the changes we recommend clearing the Spotify cache so that it downloads the songs again and does not use the ones already downloaded in lower quality. Increase music volume on Spotify The options related to the music volume can be found within the program's Configuration menu. To get to it, we simply click in the upper right on our username, and select the “Settings” option. In the options panel that appears, the one that interests us is “Audio quality”. The third option that we find in this section is to normalize the volume. This feature uses different algorithms to turn up the volume of quiet songs, and turn down the volume of loud ones, so that they all sound more or less the same. Although this option is not bad, the algorithms that are applied can affect the general volume of the songs, especially if any of them have sound peaks. And, because of that, we listen to all the low music. To avoid this, we must deactivate the normalization option so that all the songs are heard at their original volume. In addition, Spotify has recently included an option that allows us, if we have the normalize option activated, to choose how we want to adjust the volume. We can adjust this value to «Normal» or «High» so that the program increases the volume of the music to listen to it better. Although it is possible that, if we do it (especially in "High" mode), we lose some quality. Finally, do not forget to check the volume of the program, since, without realizing it, we may have it lower than normal, and this is the problem. Other sound options Within this section we will find other options that may be interesting to us. The first, and most important, is “Streaming Quality“. This option will indicate to the program in what quality we want to receive the songs. If we have a very slow Internet connection, we can reduce the speed, but the safest thing is that today we will not have any problem, with any connection, in configuring it as very high quality. We should also avoid the «Automatic» mode, since it will almost always pull low and bring us music in lower quality. If we are going to download music to listen to it offline, we can also take advantage of and mark the quality of the music to download as “Very high”. The second option will allow us to automatically adjust the quality of the music if the program detects problems with the Internet connection. The most important thing is to disable this option for the same reason as before, because we will almost always have the lowest possible quality.

  4. While it is true that NVMe SSDs have a higher transfer and access speed compared to hard drives, they all come with an associated problem that no manufacturer talks about and that really has nothing to do with this type of drive. We are talking about the process of copying data through PCI Express to the system RAM and vice versa, which at high bandwidths requires a great deal of power from the central processor. Something that Samsung has solved in its second generation SmartSSD. We understand a copy process, the transfer of information from one memory to another, in such a way that the source memory is read and the destination memory is written. Since access to RAM is performed by the memory controller integrated in the CPU itself, it is clear that any movement of data that affects it will also affect the central unit. The problem is aggravated if an information check is necessary, which greatly affects performance if we are talking about transfers of several gigabytes per second, as is the case with the most advanced NVMe SSDs. Well, it seems that Samsung has found the solution and it is very likely that it will be standardized in the PCs of the future. Samsung SmartSSD with embedded Xilinx Versal processor One of the things that the new generation video game consoles have and that we have not seen on PC at the moment are support units specialized in copying data from the SSD to RAM memory. The objective? Free the central processor from said task and be able to direct its work to others. Unfortunately, this has not yet arrived in the PC world and no CPU is ready for it, which leads to having to use other alternative measures. Well, Samsung has implemented one of those solutions in its second-generation SmartSSDs, where they use Xilinx's Versal Adaptive SoC, now owned by AMD. With said processor, the processing of the data that is normally carried out by the CPU is carried out within the unit. For example, data decompression processes, checking their integrity, etc. The effects on it? Well, quite positive: In large databases, it can cut the information access time in half. Energy consumption is reduced by 70%. The load on the processor to manage the SSD is reduced up to 97%. So it is a DMA drive with extra features for an NVMe SSD, but much more advanced. We have to start from the fact that as the speed of the SSDs increases, it will be a way to reduce the cost of the system. Since no one wants to lose a significant portion of their system performance just to control the transfer of data from storage to RAM, especially on systems with few cores or that rely heavily on processor power. A sneak peek into the future of NVMe SSDs The Xilinx Versals are an example of what we call eFPGAs, that is, FPGA units inside a heterogeneous processor in the same way that we sometimes have a GPU or graphics chip integrated into a processor. The purchase of Xilinx by AMD indicates that we will see this type of unit in the future. Surely as chipsets on motherboards. So Samsung's second-generation SmartSSD may be a preview of what we'll see in future AMD systems. There is no doubt that AMD will include Xilinx technology in its future products and this is one of its applications. The difference will be that it will be integrated into the motherboard, which will result in a performance increase when using a conventional NVMe SSD.

  7. SSDs have won the performance battle over HDDs in desktop computers. But little by little they are taking over another market that was owned by veterans: that of external devices. External cases have a lot to say here and are increasingly in demand, due to the drop in SSD prices. Therefore, ASUS has introduced a new model that includes RGB and USB 3.2. Luckily for us, the price of SSDs has been going down and, almost along with it, their performance and capacity has gone up. Currently we can find 512 GB or even 1 TB SSDs for affordable prices, where we are already seeing some 2 TB ones that are interesting in the euro/GB ratio. ASUS, like other brands, are seeing a vein to exploit in this field, where in this case the brand has not launched an external SSD as such, but a case so that we can include the model that suits us best, and always providing the maximum benefits. Said model is the ROG Strix Arion and it arrives as an external case for M.2 with support for formats up to 2280 under the NVMe interface. This does not imply that it is limited to this format, since in addition to 2280 it supports 2230, 2242 and 2260, all PCIe NVMe. The problem with the vast majority of these accessories is that users trust the product they buy and tend to think that they will be able to insert high-performance devices into them without problems. Unfortunately, only a few models are capable of guaranteeing performance. This ROG Strix Arion will not suffer from problems such as bottlenecks or throttling due to high temperatures, since it is made entirely of aluminum and will include a high-quality thermal pad for our SSD, allowing temperatures to be kept at bay. Another key point of this ROG Strix Arion is the fact that we will not need any type of tool to install our SSD, since the mechanism slides and the fixing screw is easily accessible and tightened. How could it be otherwise in a ROG product, this case will have compatibility with Aura Sync, where we can change and synchronize the RGB LEDs that it includes. This compatibility is offered through a USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type C, which will offer us a theoretical bandwidth of 10 Gbps, where the other end of the cable will be the already common USB Type A, since not all current PCs support, at the moment , the Type C. In addition, ASUS includes a fastening system with its casing so that it can be carried with us securely tied and not lost, such as in a backpack, a carabiner or the like. At the moment ASUS will begin to introduce this ROG Strix Arion from October 8 in Taiwan and will progressively extend to the rest of the world in an unspecified period. What we do know is that it will arrive for an approximate price of about 60 euros.

  8. Security is increasingly important when connecting to the Internet. And it is that, every so often, new threats appear that put our computer at risk. Of all the types of viruses that exist, one of the most dangerous and difficult to block is ransomware. This is capable of infecting a PC without triggering antivirus alarms and hijacking all user data. And one of the latest variants of this type of virus comes to us from Russia, allowing hackers to hijack literally any computer. Kaspersky security researchers warn of this new ransomware, called "Luna" that has recently started to be seen on the net. One of the features of this new virus is that it is designed to be used only by Russian-speaking users, so its origin is clear. Furthermore, the ransom note includes typos typical of a bad translation. The creators of this ransomware have opted for a cross-platform programming language: Rust. For this reason, with just a few changes it is possible to adapt it so that it can infect both Windows computers and Linux computers and ESXi servers without any problems. The most dangerous ransomware, but not yet finished But not only its programming language makes it special. This new ransomware uses an encryption scheme that is very different from the usual ones in this type of malware, which makes it very difficult to recover data in the event of infection. When installed on a computer, this malware combines the Elliptic Curve X25519 Diffie-Hellman key exchange using Curve25519 with an AES encryption algorithm. Luckily, at the moment there do not seem to be any victims infected with this ransomware. As reported by Kasperky, the hacking group has just been discovered, and is in the midst of an investigation. It could be a newly created group, which is most likely, or the team behind other known threats. Furthermore, the analyzed samples of Luna ransomware have very simple functions, and they only work via command line. The ransomware as such is not yet built. But, when it is, it may be one of the worst in history. Other active ransomware In addition to the Luna threat, there are currently other active and developing threats that we need to be concerned about. For example, we have seen an exponential increase in threats created in cross-platform languages such as Rust and Golang, such as BlackCat and Hive. Also, there is a new ransomware, called Black Basta, that is wreaking havoc on all kinds of Linux servers that is capable of infecting computers through unpatched vulnerabilities. And there are even two threats designed for Windows, Lilith and Omega, which since May have been able to collect millions of dollars in bounties. If to these threats, and others that we are not talking about, we add the presence of Luna, and the hatred that there is right now from Russia to the rest of the world, we could be facing one of the worst security situations in the history of the

  9. While we wait for more concrete data on the future RTX 40 from NVIDIA and RX 7000 from AMD, Intel is already, hopefully, on the final ramp of the launch of its graphics cards for PCs. The most important of them being the ARC Alchemist A770, which will offer a performance between the 3060 Ti and the 3070. Well, we have finally been able to have its complete specifications, which allows us to get an idea of its performance. One of the things that we have very clear is that you are going to see few ARC Alchemist graphics cards in stores to be able to mount on your PCs. So, what interest can the ARC Alchemist A770 have for the general public? Well, the fact that Intel has kept the initial launch to itself with plans to launch custom models from various brands by the end of the year. The idea is to take advantage of the Christmas campaign and the fact that NVIDIA will go for the high end initially, like AMD. However, where we will see the ARC Alchemist the most will be in pre-built systems of various brands. The specifications of the ARC Alchemist A770 in full Until now, the specifications that we knew of the main chip of the A770 were partial and limited to the following: 32 GPU cores (Xe-Cores) with 4096 ALUs in FP32 (equivalent to CUDA Cores) and 16,384 ALUs in XMX units (Tensor type). The figures are the total units across the entire GPU and not per core. 32 units for Ray Tracing 128 units of textures. 256-bit bus with video memory, which is of the GDDR6 type. Of course, what we were missing is the information on consumption and clock speeds, since the only thing we had is that the card will use two connectors, one 8-pin and one 6-pin. Of course, this helps us to know what is the maximum theoretical consumption that a graphics card can take, but not its actual consumption. Well, the ARC Alchemist A770 in Boost mode exceeds 2.4 GHz with a TDP consumption of 285 W. However, at standard speed it has a consumption of 190 W. This leaves it well below other top-of-the-range graphics cards, but Intel has not wanted to go against that segment. In any case, the figures are better than what we gave you a few days ago and the chip seems to be more efficient in theory or. Although we hope to have one in our hands to analyze it. At the moment the clock speeds are unknown. Although we must start from the fact that it is the same chip as the A770M that has a TDP of 130 W and reaches 1650 MHz. Therefore, the standard speed of the desktop version is in an intermediate figure. In any case, we must bear in mind that this parameter fluctuates depending on the level of workload that the GPU has at any given time. Not compatible with Ethereum? This may be great news for those who have a grudge against mining for its effects on graphics card availability and price. Well, it turns out that after testing the ARC A380 they have realized that it cannot be used to mine Ethereum. Will the same thing happen with the ARC Alchemist A770? Let's hope so. In any case, what concerns us now is the release date and its availability to the public. The fact that it is a limited edition makes us think of what we call a Paper Launch. That is to say, extremely limited units and most of the people with the same face as in the end of Welcome Mr. Marshall. And from here we give Intel a little slap on the wrist. Is this marketing campaign and the way it is planned worth it? While it is true that NVIDIA and AMD do the same by releasing information with droppers, what we are seeing in the case of the A770 is a graphics card that seems finished, but that we cannot have in our hands due to alleged problems with the drivers.

  12. One of the options that exist on Apple iPhones is the possibility of adding the contacts you use the most to the favorites list. With this, you greatly speed up the use you give to the phone, since you can easily and quickly access these contacts. But sometimes what you have to do is remove someone from this place, and you may not know how to do it. We explain how to get it. Adding to favorites on iPhones with its iOS operating system is very simple. In just two steps I was able to do this from different locations of Apple development. Some examples of this are the Messages, Phone, and even FaceTime apps. Therefore, at the very moment you decide, you can take the step almost instantly. Something that is quite curious is that, to check the Favorites list in iOS, you have to access the Phone application. Nowhere else can you do this, which is paradoxical, since you can add contacts to this place from other options as we have indicated before. This is how you remove a contact from the iPhone favorites As we have mentioned, what you have to do first is access the Phone app as if you were going to make a normal call. Once you have done this, you must follow the steps listed below: Once the app screen appears, look at the bottom of the screen for the Favorites icon, which is represented by a star. You will then see the list of all the contacts you have in this list. Now you can proceed to remove the ones you no longer want to be in this place. Find the chosen one and click on it by dragging to the left with a gesture. A red box called Delete appears on the right side. If this is what you want to do, use the usual signature. Once this is done, you will be done. Obviously, you can repeat this as many times as you want, until you leave the Favorites list with the contacts that you are clear should belong to it. This is a very simple way to have everything fairly organized and accessible on Apple iPhones. And, of course, if you want to increase the list of people available in this place, you can do it normally... even if it's one of those you've removed. All very comfortable and intuitive.

  13. Over the years, Microsoft Word has not become the best text editor because it was the first to become po[CENSORED]r. Unlike other apps that came first, like WhatsApp, Microsoft has never been satisfied with being the first in its category and with each new version, it introduces new features. One of the functions available in Word that very few users know about is the possibility of solving equations in Word without having to use Excel. This does not mean that we can use Word as a substitute for Excel, but we can use it on a regular basis to carry out certain types of operations, mainly simple, that do not require complex formulas that we will only find in Excel. Equations in Word Word allows us to write equations to solve or use one of the ones that the application includes by default as a template and where we only have to modify the values to calculate the result. Among the equations available as a template in Word and that we can use, we find: circle area expansion of a sum Taylor expansion quadratic formula Trigonometric identity (2 models) Binomial Theorem Pythagoras theorem In addition, we can also access more equations through Office.com such as: mode block integral Gaussian integral Accelerated movement Rotation polynomial expansion pegative exponent Fraction multiplication Newton's law of gravitation Laplacian in coordinates To use any of the different models of equations that Word makes available to us, we go to the Insert ribbon and on the right, just at the end, click on Insert. Next, we go to the beginning of the Equation ribbon, and click on Equation preceded by the Pi symbol to access all the formula options that it makes available to us. Once we have selected the type of equation that we want to solve in Word, we click on the box where the equation is displayed and we modify the equation if necessary, either to adapt it to what we are looking for, to expand it or to subtract commands. How to write a concrete equation If among all the options available natively or through Office.com, we can't find the one we're looking for, or we don't have the time to search for it, we can write it directly in Word. To do this, we create a new Word document and go to the Insert ribbon and click on Equation. Next, in the new ribbon, Equation, we click on the Equation Inking button and using the mouse we write the formula that we want to solve. As we write the formula, Word will recognize the symbols to transform them into recognizable characters. If we do not want to write the equation using the mouse or the touch screen if our equipment incorporates it, we can write it using the symbols available in the Equation ribbon, symbols that are shown to the right of the Equation ink option. The functionality to write equations in Word is available natively without the need to install any external plugins, as was the case in older versions of Word. This option is only available through the Office / Microsoft 365 subscription, so we will not find it in the free version available online.

  14. CORSAIR today announced the expansion (or perhaps renewal) of its Xeneon monitor family, very high-end devices designed to satisfy the needs of the most demanding gamers. On this occasion, the manufacturer has added two new models to its catalog, the 32QHD240 which, as its name suggests, has 32 inches, QHD resolution and 240 Hz refresh rate, and the superior model, the 32UHD144, 32 inches, 4K UHD resolution and 144 Hz refresh rate. Let's see what they offer us next. Having a good monitor is not just something for gamers, but we must recognize that when we talk about devices specifically designed for it, the result is usually quite spectacular. And this is precisely what CORSAIR offers us with its two new monitors, also giving us two different options to choose from, each with its advantages and disadvantages, of course. The new CORSAIR monitors, do they have it all? Maintaining the futuristic design that characterized the first members of the Xeneon family (including the RapidRoute cable management systems), these new monitors designed for gamers and content creators incorporate, in both cases, a 32-inch IPS LED screen for visualization. "big time" On the one hand, we have the 32UHD144 model that features an incredible ultra-flat UHD (3840 x 2160) screen that offers excellent color reproduction thanks to Quantum Dot technology, covering 100% of the sRGB and Adobe RGB color space. In addition, this monitor carries the HDR 600 certification, offering great luminosity as well as good color reproduction, giving rise to more details in the darkest and brightest scenes. This monitor has HDMI 2.1, DisplayPort 1.4, USB-C, and even a built-in USB 3.1 hub to enhance PC connectivity. As we have already mentioned before, this monitor has a 144 Hz refresh rate, and is compatible with NVIDIA G-SYNC technology, in addition to carrying the AMD FreeSync Premium certification. Now, if instead of a high resolution you prefer to have a faster and smoother game, the 32QHD240 model may be better for you. This monitor also has a 32-inch IPS flat screen, but its resolution is QHD (2560 x 1440) and its refresh rate is 240 Hz for better fluidity, which is also compatible with NVIDIA G-SYNC and FreeSync Premium. from AMD. By the way, the response time is only 1 ms. This version of the monitor also has Quantum Dot technology and the wide range of brightness that HDR600 offers, and also has video inputs via USB-C, HDMI 2.0 (two) or DisplayPort 1.4. Availability, price and warranty The new CORSAIR Xeneon 32UHD144 and 32QHD240 monitors are now available through the CORSAIR online store and the brand's network of retailers and distributors worldwide, priced at €799.99 for the QHD model and €1,099 for the QHD model. €99 for the 4K UHD model, really quite high prices despite the fact that we are undoubtedly dealing with very high-end and high-quality devices.

  18. The PC is experiencing a new golden age of video games. After several years in which the industry has left it a bit aside in favor of consoles, it finally seems that, thanks to platforms like Steam or the Epic Games Store, companies trust this platform again. On PC we can find almost any game released, even titles that, until recently, were console exclusives. And we can also get hold of them at a very good price in most cases. Surely we all have games in digital format in the main PC game store, Steam. But what if one day this store closes? The problem with games in digital format is that we depend on a company. It doesn't matter if it's Steam for PC games, PlayStation for PS4 or PS4 games, or Microsoft for Xbox. We never get to have a medium, like a DVD, to install the game ourselves, but we have to download it if we want to be able to play it. If the servers close, or go down, it is impossible to download the game. Unlike other stores, like GOG, games on Steam have their own DRM (in addition to any other third-party DRM they may include). This means that, in order to play, they need to be validated through the Internet. Therefore, if Steam closes, by not being able to log in to the platform, we will have nothing to do, and it will be impossible both to download new games and to run existing games. Or, at least, in theory. Valve promised to remove DRM Although it is true that the closure of Steam worries everyone, it is not a question that is usually asked too much. Moreover, on the Internet there is very little information about it, and only one official message. A user asked the company more than 10 years ago what would happen to games and DRM in the event of an imminent shutdown. And Valve indicated that, in the event of a shutdown, it would release a global update to all its games to remove their DRM. By removing the DRM from Steam, we would only have to buy a large (VERY large) hard drive and download the games, one by one, before the permanent closure of the servers. All games would work, and would be largely original. Of course, as long as they do not have any associated third-party DRM, nor are they online games or MMOs that depend on Valve. In any case, there is nothing written, and this scenario may just be a utopia. Other Alternatives for Steam Games In case Valve doesn't keep their word (since it's not written anywhere), there may be other ways to get around Steam's DRM restrictions. Without going any further, there are "programs" on the net that allow us to bypass these restrictions simply by replacing two files, and they are compatible with all games on the platform, both past and future. Another possibility that we can find, as has already happened with other similar stores, is that the developers allow us to migrate the games to other stores. For example, they would let us link the account to the Epic Store, GOG, or any other store (Origin, uPlay, etc) and migrate the games to these platforms before losing them. Ultimately, if Steam goes down, PC gaming is done for. No alternative, not even the Epic Store, is as profitable and offers such a catalog of games as Valve's. That is to say, before falling Steam the others would fall. And no big company, like Google, Apple, or Microsoft, would miss the chance to grab it at its lowest times. Long live Steam.

  19. AMD and Intel seem immersed in a race to see who has the most powerful processor in the world at all times, and the latest leaked benchmarks of the new AMD EPYC Genoa processor with 96 cores based on Zen 4 architecture seems to put those in red in the lead . Of course, having the most powerful processor in the world has a high price, and not only for the money it would cost to buy it... The AMD EPYC Genoa 9000 that has been leaked this time around is one of many Zen 4 architecture server chips that AMD will release later this year. We have already seen the technical specifications of many of these models on previous occasions, but the new leak that has taken place today means having the first real performance information, despite the fact that, as you may already guess, what we have in hand are engineering samples. This is the most powerful processor in the world In these leaks, the exact reference of the processor that has been used has not been mentioned, but seeing the screenshots it could be the AMD EPYC 9654P, with 96 cores and 192 process threads based on Zen 4 architecture. The chip has 384 MB of cache L3 with a base frequency of 2.15 GHz, up to 3.05 GHz Boost frequency for all cores and up to 3.5-3.7 GHz Boost for a single core. In the benchmarks that have been leaked, a dual processor configuration has been used, which means that we are looking at 192 cores and 384 process threads. However, it must be taken into account that none of the benchmarks used support more than 128 cores, a fact that also makes it well comparable with previous benchmarks of other processors. In the leak, Cinebench data also appears in three of its versions (R15, R20 and R23). In Cinebench R15, the chip scored 188 points in the single-core test and 11,577 points in the multi-threaded test. In the R20 version, 416 points were scored for a single core and 26,285 points in the multi-threaded test, while in the R23 version, 1,227 points were scored for a single core and 100,776 points in the multi-threaded test. Here, the AMD processor is shown as the most powerful to date and of course it leaves the Intel processors in the lurch, but again it must be taken into account that only 128 cores are used for the benchmarks, and also with a relatively low clock rate that falls short of the boost rate of 3.05 GHz. A processor you can't afford It is true that AMD is ahead of Intel for now in the race to see who has the most powerful processor in the world, but it is also true that it is not something that ordinary users are going to be able to enjoy. To begin with, as part of the EPYC family, it is a processor designed for servers and needs certain specific hardware requirements, such as the server motherboard and much more. Also keep in mind that while this processor draws about 360 watts at full power, the socket's power limit is 700 watts, which means you can have an advanced cooling solution (VERY advanced in fact) for be able to keep it at a good temperature, and a power source capable of servicing it properly. Essentially, you would have to invest in a server infrastructure if you wanted to have it in your home, and we are talking about tens of thousands of Euros (especially considering the price that this processor will have). Finally, we must talk about the price of the processor itself; Although it is true that AMD will not launch these new EPYC Genoa based on Zen 4 until the end of this year, looking at the price of the previous lines of processors, we can get the idea that the chip alone will cost more than 6,000 Euros. Of course, it is very good to see figures of what is currently the most powerful processor in the world, but in the end it is not something that users are going to be able to have in our homes

  21. The Smart TV sector does not stop, and every new year we can find new models that do not stop surpassing what seemed insurmountable. One of the great references is the Asian manufacturer, which has a catalog beyond any doubt. Now, Xiaomi has just presented a new model, which boasts a diagonal of no more and no less than 86 inches, without a doubt, ideal to enjoy the best cinematographic experience at home. This new model has been baptized as Xiaomi TV Max 86, and the best thing is that it will also arrive in Spain, since we can see it in the company's global catalog. Of course, a fact that has not been disclosed at the moment is its price, although it is most likely to be around 1,300-1,500 euros. Now that we know the basics of the new Xiaomi Smart TV, which is its size and possible price, we are going to investigate a little more about what this new model offers us. To begin with, it should be noted that the television frames are very minimalist, which gives all the prominence to the spectacular 86-inch screen. Continuing with its screen, say that its IPS panel is Full Array Local Dimming (FALD), and has support for the main HDR standards, along with a refresh rate of 120 Hz, in addition to a 4K screen (3840 x2160) of 86 inches. And this does not end here, add DCI-P3 90% and the aforementioned refresh rate of 120 Hz at 4K. Thanks to its previously mentioned FALD backlight system, its brightness levels are outstanding.

  22. Under normal conditions, in our computer we have an operating system, generally Windows, stable and working in optimal conditions. That is what happens in most cases and is the most desirable for users, but unfortunately it is not always the case. There are times when the software offered by the giant Microsoft suddenly stops responding, which becomes a problem. This is something no one wants to see on their computer, be it for home or professional use. And it is that when the operating system stops working, as a general rule this is something that affects the rest of the applications that we have installed. In short, we could say that the PC is no longer an essential element in our work to become something problematic. In addition, we must bear in mind that the reasons why Windows stops responding on our computer can be very varied. Next, we are going to talk about some of the most common reasons why this happens. All this will help you to try to avoid, as far as possible, these potential reasons and thus ensure that failures in the system do not happen. Reasons why Windows is suddenly not responding Here we expose some of the most widespread and common reasons why the Microsoft system may stop responding or crash. Erroneous modifications in the registry: The database that corresponds to the registry of the Microsoft operating system is a very sensitive element. Sometimes we make changes through your editor without having deep knowledge of these changes. By these we mean that deleting or changing certain entries in the Windows registry can cause crashes. The arrival of some types of malware: there are many types of malicious code that can reach our PC. Some simply deliver advertisements, while others steal personal data, or make our computer stop responding. Hence precisely the importance of keeping an antivirus installed and updated at all times. Installation of certain programs: depending on the edition, the architecture, or the state of our Windows operating system, the installation of certain programs can cause serious problems. Also, if we have a somewhat limited computer in terms of internal hardware specifications, or simply old, the arrival of some very demanding program can cause the system to stop responding. Delete system files: when it comes to doing some kind of cleaning on our computer based on Microsoft software, we must be careful. It may be the case that we delete some important files or folders for the operating system itself and it stops responding. Generally, these contents are usually protected by means of established internal permissions, but with everything and with it, we should not delete anything that we do not really know what it is. A faulty update: Despite their importance, Windows updates sometimes have major problems. As a general rule, they are usually specific failures that Microsoft ends up resolving in a short time. But in some cases we have been able to verify that these software elements that reach our computer cause major blockages that result in Windows stopping responding.

  23. When you are looking for new headphones, you will surely notice that many manufacturers indicate that they have "custom audio", but what does this mean? How do you do this customization and how do you know what is best for you? In this article we are going to tell you everything in depth so that you never make a mistake when choosing new headphones. Personalized audio in headphones, what does this mean? When a manufacturer tells us this, it means that they have optimized them for a specific type of use, which can be, for example, gaming or sports. And it is that depending on the type of use that you are going to give the device, one type of customization or another may be better, but we are going to get into the matter and see what those customizations are that they do to the headphones and that make them better for one thing or another. Factors that customize headphone audio There are a total of six factors that can influence how headphones sound, something that obviously also has to do with the quality of the audio that they are capable of transmitting to users. Diaphragm type: Although most manufacturers use neodymium magnet speakers for their headphones, there are actually six total types in use today: dynamic, planar magnetic, armature diaphragm, electrostatic, bone conduction, and hybrid. Each of these types of diaphragm has different properties and generates sound differently. The most common are the dynamic ones, as you will already suppose. Size and material of the earmuffs: Oddly enough, this greatly influences the sound, since, for example, the thicker the earmuffs, the greater the distance between the ears and the diaphragm. Similarly, the better the earmuffs fit your head and ear, the more it isolates you from outside ambient noise, completely changing the audio experience. External design of the headphones: the design greatly influences the quality of the sound, and logically it is something that the manufacturer can customize. Circumaural headphones will not sound the same as supra-aural ones, just as neither of these will sound the same as in-ear headphones. Type of connector: in addition to the well-known USB (digital audio), we have many different types of connector, although it is true that the jack / minijack is the most common, but in these cases the audio is analog. The most common is the 3.5mm TRRS connector, but this type of connector cannot reproduce true balanced stereo sound because you would need at least 5 connectors to do so (TRRRS would be in this case).Type of codec used (wireless headphones): a subtype of the above is found in wireless headphones, and especially in those that use Bluetooth technology. There are many different Bluetooth codecs that can be used, such as aptX, LDAC, AAC, DBC or LHDC, and each one works at a different frequency, latency, depth, etc. different. Factory equalization: The aspect that can most influence the customization of the audio of the headphones is the equalization. Many manufacturers incorporate software to be able to customize it to the user's taste, but many others do not and instead incorporate a custom factory equalization that logically changes the audio experience of the headphones a lot.
