Although Counter-Strike 2 is just around the corner, Valve has released a patch with new content for Global Offensive. The announcement of Counter-Strike 2 presaged that great news would no longer come to Global Offensive. However, Valve had a score to settle with the current version of its tactical shooter. To settle it, it has introduced what will probably be the last update that adds content to the video game. It is a patch that includes a total of 19 skins belonging to the so-called Anubis Collection. Thus, the new cosmetics will be available through the boxes that we can obtain throughout the next Major. In addition, and it seems that temporarily, they can be purchased directly in the game for 1.89 euros. It has not yet been confirmed if the collection will join the 'weekly drops' for leveling up. A must update for Counter-Strike Although it may sound strange that new skins are added to Global Offensive given the upcoming release of Counter-Strike 2, the truth is that this was a practically mandatory update for Valve. Anubis is a relatively new map. It was added to Counter-Strike in 2020 as part of a temporary event, was removed a year later, and returned to stay in August 2022. This last time, the developers decided to add it to the rotation of active duty scenarios, taking over. from Dust 2. This means that it is available in professional games. Starting next May 8, the Blast Major in Paris will begin, the last major Counter-Strike: Global Offensive competition. In these big tournaments, Valve markets a "Viewer Pass" with which players can obtain different rewards, among which is a limited number of special loot boxes from the maps in active service. Anubis, being a recently introduced scenario, still did not have its own 'lootbox'. In this sense, Valve has added the skins and created the collection so that Major spectators who get the premium pass have access to the rewards As expected, since the collection has just been released, the prices of skins in the community market are very unstable and high. It is expected that the value will decrease in a general way as the days go by and, above all, once the Major in Paris is held. Among the most outstanding cosmetics are those of CT. M4A4, FAMAS and P250 receive skins of the highest rarities. The alternatives for the attacking side, although interesting, are of less value. https://www.3djuegos.com/juegos/counter-strike-global-offensive/noticias/ultima-gran-actualizacion-counter-strike-cierra-deuda-pendiente-valve-global-offensive-anade-19-nuevas-skins-justo-a-tiempo-para-su-gran-evento-competitivo

Combine XLR audio and video capture in one little box of tricks. Rode has revealed a number of new products that it is working on, including devices for streamers and content creators. One of them is the Rode Streamer X, which combines a professional audio interface with a video capture card. This little box of tricks has studio audio inputs for XLR microphones and line-level devices, as well as Rode wireless microphones and headphones. Inside is a high-gain Revolution preamp backed by APHEX audio processing technology to ensure crisp, clean sound. At first glance, the Streamer X looks like a small Rodecaster Pro II, but it also offers similar features to an external capture card. This device can capture and stream footage in 4K at 30 frames per second or 2K at 60 FPS. In addition, it offers video transfer up to 4K at 60 FPS. This makes it ideal for streamers and content creators. Whether you're streaming to Twitch or capturing footage for YouTube gameplay videos. Rode says the Streamer X has two USB-C connections so it can work with dual PC setups, and it's also compatible with Rode's own software: Rode Connect, Central, and Unify. So you can customize and adjust the audio to perfect it for your stream. On the side, you'll find four customizable SMART pads that can be configured to trigger sound effects or activate voice FX, as well as other actions. Alongside the introduction of the Streamer X, Rode has also shown the Rodecaster Duo. It is a more compact version of the Rodecaster Pro II, with similar features but a slimmer format. It's an all-in-one audio production tool that uses the same Revolution preamps as its big brother, but just two XLR connections. This makes it a more logical choice for creators and streamers who don't need a full podcasting setup. The Rodecaster Duo also pairs perfectly with the 5th Generation Rode NT1 and the newly introduced PodMic USB, which features both XLR and USB connectivity. https://www.pocket-lint.com/es-es/rodes-streamer-x-es-una-solucion-todo-en-uno-para-streamers/

Every time we install Windows, it automatically configures the power options to adapt to the type of computer where we have installed it, be it a laptop or a desktop computer. These power options have been put into operation since the last time we interacted with the computer, however, they do not always work as they should, especially as time goes by and we install applications on the computer. The theory says that we can trust these options so that, if we leave the house and leave the computer on, we do not need to worry about turning it off, since it will do so automatically, however, in the vast majority of cases it will not. it is so. It is also possible that we have left the computer on doing some task with an application that prevents its automatic shutdown or that we directly want to turn off the computer and finish the activity we are doing. Both natively and using third-party applications, we have the possibility of remotely shutting down a PC, as long as we have taken the precaution of being cautious and taking this possibility into account, either by modifying Windows settings or by installing third-party applications. to help us accomplish this task. Shut down a computer remotely The easiest and fastest option to turn off a computer remotely from anywhere is using applications to connect remotely, be it TeamViewer, AnyDesk or Windows Remote Desktop. Another option that we can use is to program the equipment so that it turns off automatically after a certain time using the "shutdown" command and accompanying it with the parameters "/s" and "/t" followed by the time that must elapse, in seconds, until it turns off. shutdown.exe -s -t 3600 We can also configure the equipment so that when a specific instruction is sent, it turns off automatically. To configure the equipment and be able to turn it off remotely, the first thing we must do is add the following line in the Windows registry, a process that we can do with the following command, opening CMD with administrator permissions so that the equipment can receive commands remotely. reg add HKLM/Software/Microsoft/windows/CurrentVersion/Policies/system /v LocalAccountTokenFilterPolicy /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f Once we have correctly added this line in the Windows registry, we are going to use the “net use” command accompanied by the IP of the computer that we want to turn off. In order to use this command, the computer account from which we are going to send the command must be recognized by the remote computer, otherwise we will not be able to carry out the operation. We open CMD with administrator permissions and use the following command: net use dirección-nombre-equipo-remotoipc$ We must replace "remote-computer-name-address" with the IP address of the computer that we want to turn off or with the name of the computer. Next, we will be asked for the password of the remote computer, and then we must execute the following command. shutdown /s /m dirección-nombre-equipo-remoto" /f If the equipment is being used by another person, we can add the commands /t time-in-seconds /c "message" indicating the time in seconds that will elapse until the equipment turns off and a message that will be displayed on the equipment screen to notify the user that the equipment will proceed to shut down. shutdown /s /m dirección-nombre-equipo-remoto" /f /t tiempo-en-segundos /c "mensaje" https://www.softzone.es/noticias/windows/apagar-ordenador-forma-remota/

The well-known manufacturer Corsair has just given a surprise, launching its new MP600 Mini SSD on the market without prior notice, and it turns out that it becomes one of the fastest SSDs that you can buy and install in a Steam Deck portable console from Valve, since it comes in M.2 2230 format. In addition to this MP600 Mini, the manufacturer also launches the MP600 CORE XT, which we are also going to talk about in this article. Corsair is a manufacturer with extensive experience in the field of PC storage, and proof of this is that they have been launching SSDs to the market from that already outdated SATA 3 interface. What is a fact is that they have always been positioned as very high-performance SSDs. high performance, reaching the levels that interfaces allow at all times, and of course this MP600 Mini is no exception. Corsair MP600 Mini, a 1 TB SSD ideal for Steam Deck The Corsair MP600 Mini is, as the name suggests, a smaller version of the familiar MP600, as instead of the usual M.2 2280 form factor we use on PCs, it's M.2 2230 (estop means that measures only 22 x 30 mm), a fact that makes it compatible and also ideal for use on Valve's portable console, the Steam Deck. In addition to this, it would also be compatible with other devices, such as the Microsoft Surface Pro 8 and 9, and of course on PCs. Even so, with its PCI-Express 4.0 interface it is capable of offering speeds of up to 4,800 MB/s both read and write, so it will make games "fly" on portable consoles that support this type of storage. The bad part about its small size is that it is also limited in the number of memory chips it can accommodate, and therefore the Corsair MP600 Mini is only available in 1TB capacity. The official price of this 1 TB capacity unit is €124.99, although that is in the manufacturer's store and we may soon be able to find it a bit cheaper in the brand's usual store network. Corsair MP600 CORE XT, improving the quality / price ratio On the other hand, Corsair has also announced the launch of its new MP600 CORE XT units, in this case with the usual M.2 2280 format that we are used to in the PC industry. These SSDs make use of 3D QLC NAND Flash memory chips, which allows them to provide high density with more than decent performance, but at fairly contained prices. In this case, the MP600 CORE XT come in 1, 2, and 4 TB capacities, and all feature a PCI-Express 4.0 x4 interface that offers theoretical speeds of up to 5,000 MB/s read and 4,400 MB/s write, with durability up to 900 TBW on the 4 TB model. In this case, the 1 TB capacity model has a retail price of only €69.99, while the 2 TB model will cost €134.99. The 4TB capacity model is a little more expensive, as Corsair has tagged it with a price of €324.99. All of them are now available on the manufacturer's website, and will soon be available in the manufacturer's usual network of stores. https://hardzone.es/noticias/componentes/corsair-mp600-mini-steam-deck/

Cats are, along with dogs, the most po[CENSORED]r pets. How much do you know about them? According to the analysis carried out by the scientists, the domestication of cats began 10,000 years ago in the Near East. Currently, the International Cat Association estimates that there are around 71 standardized breeds. Although they are animals well known to all, the truth is that there are some curiosities about domestic cats that very few people know about. Sleepyheads Cats spend most of their time sleeping. When they are adults they sleep up to 15 hours a day, while when they are puppies or elderly they can sleep up to 20 hours. This is explained because they are predators by nature, and hunting a prey requires a great expenditure of energy. Yes, domestic cats don't need to hunt for food, but their sleep cycle is very similar to what they would have if they were wild. Bones Despite their small size, cats have more bones than humans: 230, nothing more and nothing less. The number may vary depending on the number of caudal vertebrae. His joints are extremely flexible, especially his spine. During a fall, if there is enough height to give them time, they can turn completely with the help of their tail to land on their feet. Blue eyes One of the great curiosities about domestic cats is that they are born with blue eyes. Their iris and cornea are very underdeveloped, which is why their eyes are blue. Then, as time passes, both eye parts allow the eyes to acquire the color that they will maintain throughout their lives. Whiskers Whiskers are a very important part of the anatomy of small cats. They help them keep their balance and move in a straight line, and they work as vibration sensors. The distribution of mustaches on both sides of the face is symmetrical, making a total of 24. Tail and ears Cats have the ability to express their mood through their tails and ears. In case they are scared, they have their tails down and their ears back. Meanwhile, if their tail is up and wags vigorously, it means they are happy. Lactose How many times have we seen cats drink milk when they are puppies? Although it is their preferred food during their first months of life, the vast majority of cats become lactose intolerant as adults. As they get older, it is not easy for them to digest the sugar present in milk. https://okdiario.com/mascotas/curiosidades-sobre-gatos-domesticos-4583492

In Ecuador there are five types of electrified vehicles, the best sellers are plug-in hybrid electric vehicles that grew 336.8% 2022 was a record year for the automotive sector in Ecuador. 139,517 vehicles were sold, the highest value reported in the last 11 years -since 2011-. This figure represented a growth of 16.9% compared to the same period of the previous year, according to statistics from the Association of Automotive Companies of Ecuador (Aeade). Within all the segments, electric cars were one of the ones with the best performance. 405 units were sold, which represented 16% more than those sold in 2021 (348 units). However, this growth was overshadowed by hybrid vehicles that closed 2022 with 6,800 units sold, 59% more than in 2021 when 4,280 were sold. This trend was also reflected in sales for the first quarter of 2023. 2,361 hybrids and 149 electrics were sold. In the case of electric cars, it represented a growth of 175.9% when comparing the figure with sales for the same period of 2022, which were 59 units. However, when it comes to hybrids, the statistics must now be broken down into four sub-segments and five if 100% electric cars are included in that equation that is classified as electrified vehicles. Aeade began to do so in February of this year. These five subcategories are: MHEV: Mild Hybrid Electric Vehicle -mild hybrid electric vehicle- PHEV: Plug in Hybrid Electric Vehicle -plug-in hybrid electric vehicle- HEV: Hybrid Electric Vehicle -hybrid electric vehicle- BEV: Battery Electric Vehicle -battery electric vehicle- EREV: Extended Range Electric Vehicle -extended range electric vehicle- This specification also began to be applied by the Chamber of the Ecuadorian Automotive Industry (Cinae). Its executive director, David Molina, explained that Ecuadorian regulations determine that an electric vehicle is one that is propelled solely with an electric motor, that is, with electric batteries; while hybrid vehicles share traction as they move through a combustion engine but also with electric batteries. However, he indicated that there is a new technology that uses a fuel tank, but not to drive the vehicle's engine, which is electric, but its purpose is to charge the electric battery. “With the current norm of Ecuador, these are electric vehicles, they qualify as electric vehicles and enjoy all the incentives that electric vehicles have; however, with a much more technical and comparative perspective with what happens in the laws of Europe and the rest of Latin America, these vehicles are not considered electric, but hybrids because they have a combustion engine," Molina clarified, who pointed out that for Not to distort the statistics, they consider these vehicles as hybrid and not electric, which are those that do not produce emissions and do not have an exhaust pipe. The best-selling type of electrified vehicle in the first quarter of the year is the MHEV with 1,260 units, followed by the HEV (731), EREV (287), BEV (149) and PHEV (83) which was the one with the highest sales growth presented compared to the first three months of 2022 with 336.8% more. In total, all electrified vehicles posted a sales increase of 87.5% in the first quarter. For his part, Genaro Baldeón, executive president of Aeade, highlighted the preparation of a catalog of electrified vehicles that was drawn up with the companies that make up the Association. The list includes 106 models from 16 brands that are currently available on the market. Of those 106 models, 29 are BEV, 3 are EREV, 12 are PHEV and 62 are from the other subcategories. Brands project more hybrid and 100% electric models by 2023 The brands for their part plan to continue inserting more vehicles of this type into the Ecuadorian market. For example, the Korean brand KIA that has in its catalog in Ecuador the hybrids K5, Stonic, Óptima, Niro; and the 100% electric Soul EV, EV6; plans to introduce two new eco-friendly models to the local market (100% electric hybrids), revealed José Antonio Errazuriz, commercial director of KIA Motors del Ecuador. "Kia has been working on its sustainable mobility plan in recent years with a view to incorporating a total of 7 EVs -electric vehicles- into its global portfolio by 2025," said the executive, who noted that in 2022 they sold 2,552 electric vehicles and in the first quarter of this year they have sold 301 units. Meanwhile, Corporación Maresa plans to bring a 100% electric Chery vehicle to the local market by the end of this year, revealed Nicolás Buñay, Maresa Product Manager. The Chinese brand, which is distributed by Maresa in Ecuador, launched its Tiggo 8 Pro PHEV model at the Autoshow in August 2022, which to date has sold 31 units, according to Buñay, who indicated that the firm expects 2023 to be a record year for sales of hybrid vehicles projecting an estimate of more than 1,500 units in total, while projections for electric vehicles are expected to start with 1% of sales of the brand's total portfolio this year. Currently, the only 100% electric vehicle that Maresa sells is the Dongfeng RICH 6 EV van, which in 2022 sold 36 units, while in the first quarter of this year they have already sold 27, said Paola Ramírez, Dongfeng's deputy brand manager. Before the announcement of the brands to bring more electric models, Molina indicated that "it is possible, and it is natural, that the technology grows little by little", but he also analyzed that the preference of the clients for the hybrid vehicles before the 100% electric is due to the lack of infrastructure (electric stations), which does not allow you to have a vehicle that can move outside the city”. https://www.eluniverso.com/noticias/economia/875-mas-en-ventas-en-el-primer-trimestre-del-2023-apuntala-la-diversificacion-y-preferencias-entre-los-vehiculos-electrificados-en-mercado-local-nota/

Although the jaguar and the leopard may appear similar at first glance, there are some key differences that allow them to be distinguished. If you've ever wondered how to tell a jaguar from a leopard, you're in the right place. In this article, we are going to explore the differences between these two species of cats and give you some useful tips to easily and effectively identify them. Before delving into the differences between the jaguar and the leopard, it is important to understand that both animals belong to the same family of cats, the Panthera. In addition, both have similar characteristics, such as their spotted fur and their great hunting skills. However, there are some key features that set these two cat species apart. Next, we are going to examine some of the most important differences. 1. Size and weight One of the easiest ways to distinguish between the jaguar and the leopard is by their size and weight. The jaguar is generally larger and heavier than the leopard. Jaguars can weigh up to 135 kg, while leopards rarely exceed 90 kg. In addition, the jaguar has a larger and more robust head than the leopard, which gives it a more imposing appearance. 2. Spot pattern Another way to differentiate the jaguar from the leopard is by the pattern of spots on its fur. The jaguar has larger, more defined spots, while the leopard has smaller, more diffuse spots. Also, the jaguar's spots tend to be more circular in shape, while the leopard's are usually more oval in shape. 3. Geographic distribution Another important difference between the jaguar and the leopard is their geographic distribution. The jaguar is found primarily in Central and South America, while the leopard is found primarily in Africa and Asia. However, there are some leopard po[CENSORED]tions that are also found in the Middle East and India, while some jaguar po[CENSORED]tions are also found in Mexico and some parts of the southern United States. 4. Habitat Another way to differentiate the jaguar from the leopard is by its habitat. The jaguar prefers to live in jungle and humid areas, while the leopard prefers to live in drier and more arid regions. In addition, the jaguar is an excellent swimmer and can spend long hours in the water, while the leopard is less skilled in the water and prefers to avoid it. 5. Hunting behavior Finally, another way to differentiate the jaguar from the leopard is by their hunting behavior. The jaguar is an opportunistic hunter and can hunt a wide variety of prey, from fish to deer and other mammals. On the other hand, the leopard is a more specialized hunter and prefers to hunt smaller animals such as antelopes and monkeys. It is also known to climb trees to wait for its prey. In summary, although the jaguar and the leopard may appear similar at first glance, there are some key differences that allow them to be distinguished. If you're interested in seeing these magnificent creatures in the wild, be sure to research which one is in the area you plan to travel to. And don't forget to bring your camera to capture the experience! https://okdiario.com/ciencia/como-diferenciar-jaguar-leopardo-10805386

Kimera Automobili is known for its way of remembering the classics, of recovering a copy of the size of the Lancia 037. That car has been a world rally champion and they do not want to let it fall into oblivion. That is why they launch the Kimera EVO37 Martini 7, a special configuration of their model that celebrates the seven world victories of the Lancia Martini Racing Team. It is dressed in what is probably the best known respected livery, featuring the colors blue, sky blue and red in a stripe on a white base. The EVO37 is a limited run copy that is limited to just 37 units. One of the first was delivered in Spain to Teo Martín and now we know another with a more racing configuration that refers to the successes in competition in the 80s and 90s. In fact, for its development they have had a two-time world champion of rallies, the Italian Miki Biasion. With his help from him, a further evolution of the already outstanding classic-cut coupe was made, but with modern elements, a full-fledged restomod. The exterior features an unprecedented carbon aerodynamic package with a few additional elements. The NACA air intakes on the hood, the front splitter or the side skirts stand out, while the rear window also presents new air extraction openings. The wheels are a clear nod to the past, as their design is traced to those of the Lancias of those glorious years. The decoration consists of the Martini Racing credentials and the stripe with its three colors on the perimeter of the car, The interior of the Kimera EVO37 Martini 7 is made of exposed carbon fiber and blue Alcantara with contrasting red stitching. That material on the seats, door panels, and roof is reminiscent of the legendary Group B Delta S4. The dashboard is the same fluorescent orange color as the rev counters on race cars, and each button is labeled exactly as it was at the time. , have been based on the original models for their development. In addition, it must be said that the intensive use of carbon fiber and kevlar has managed to leave the weight of this specimen at just 1,100 kg. There's also a power boost to the doubly supercharged 2.1-litre inline-four to bring it down to 550bhp. The math does not fail and leaves him with a power weight ratio of 2 kg/CV, a very remarkable figure. In short, the Kimera EVO37 Martini 7 combines the style, flavor and charm of a true racing king, but with the characteristics of a modern car in terms of technology, quality and performance. One of the best modern tributes to the ultimate two-wheel-drive Group B that won the world title by beating its all-wheel drive rivals. https://noticias.coches.com/noticias-motor/kimera-evo37-martini-7/489983

Get the rest you need Sometimes the pace of modern life barely gives you time to stop and rest. This can make getting a good night's sleep on a regular basis seem like a dream. But sleep is just as important to good health as diet and exercise. Sleeping well improves brain performance, mood and health. Not getting enough quality sleep on a regular basis increases the risk of many diseases and disorders. These range from heart disease and stroke to obesity and dementia. Getting a good night's sleep is about much more than time spent in bed, says NIH sleep expert Dr. Marishka Brown. "Healthy sleep encompasses three important things," she explains. "The first is the number of hours you sleep. The second is sleep quality: getting restful, uninterrupted sleep. The last is a regular sleep schedule." Sleep quality can be a bigger challenge for people who work the night shift or irregular hours. And times of great stress, like the current pandemic, can disrupt our usual sleep routines. But there are many things you can do to improve your sleep. Sleep to repair Why do we need sleep? People often think of sleep as just "down time" where a tired brain rests, explains Dr. Maiken Nedergaard, who studies sleep at the University of Rochester. "But that's not so," she says. While you sleep, your brain works. For example, sleep helps prepare your brain to learn, remember, and create. Nedergaard and her colleagues discovered that the brain has a drainage system that removes toxins during sleep. "When we sleep, the brain completely changes function," she explains. "It becomes almost like a kidney in that it removes waste from the system." In studies with mice, her team found that the drainage system removes some of the proteins linked to Alzheimer's disease. These toxins were cleared twice as fast from the brain during sleep. Everything from your blood vessels to your immune system uses sleep as a time of repair, explains Dr. Kenneth Wright, Jr., a sleep researcher at the University of Colorado. "There are certain repair processes that occur in the body primarily, or most effectively, during sleep," he explains. "If you don't get enough sleep, those processes will be disrupted." Myths and truths about sleep The amount of sleep you need changes with age. Experts recommend that school-age children get at least nine hours of sleep a night, and teens, eight to 10. Most adults need at least seven hours of sleep or more each night. There are many misunderstandings about sleep. One is that adults need less sleep as they get older. That is not true. Older adults still need the same amount of sleep. However, sleep quality can worsen as you get older. Older adults are also more likely to take medications that interfere with sleep. Another sleep myth is that you can "catch up" on your days off. The researchers found that this is largely not the case. "If you sleep poorly one night, taking a nap or getting more sleep the next night may benefit you," explains Wright. "But if you get very little sleep during the week, the weekend isn't enough to catch up. That's not healthy behavior." In a recent study, Wright and his team looked at people with consistently poor sleep. They compared them to sleep-deprived people who got to sleep in on weekends. Both groups of people gained weight from lack of sleep. Their bodies' ability to control blood sugar levels also worsened. The weekend did not help to catch up on sleep. On the other hand, getting more sleep isn't always better, Brown says. For adults, "if you're sleeping more than nine hours a night and still don't feel refreshed, there may be an underlying medical problem," he explains. Sleep disorders Some people have conditions that prevent them from getting enough sleep, no matter how hard they try. These problems are called sleep disorders. The most common sleep disorder is insomnia. "Insomnia occurs when you have repeated difficulties falling asleep or staying asleep," explains Brown. This happens despite having time to sleep and a suitable sleeping environment. It can make you feel tired or restless during the day. Insomnia can be short-term, where people have a hard time sleeping for a few weeks or months. "A few other people have experienced this during the pandemic," Brown explains. Long-term insomnia lasts three months or more. Sleep apnea is another common sleep disorder. In sleep apnea, the upper airways are blocked during sleep. This reduces or stops airflow, which wakes people up at night. This condition can be dangerous. If left untreated, it can lead to other health problems. If you often have trouble sleeping, talk to your health care provider. You may be asked to keep a sleep diary to track your sleep over several weeks. They may also perform tests, including sleep studies. They look for sleep disorders. Sleep better If you have trouble sleeping, it can be frustrating to hear how important it is to do so. However, there are simple things that can improve your chances of getting a good night's sleep. See the Wise Choices box for tips to help you sleep better. Treatments are available for many common sleep disorders. Cognitive behavioral therapy can help many people with insomnia sleep better. Medicines can also help some people. Many people with sleep apnea benefit from using a device called a continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) machine. These machines keep your airways open so you can breathe. Other treatments may include special mouth guards and lifestyle changes. For everyone, Brown recommends "trying to prioritize sleep as much as possible." "Sleep is not something disposable, but a biological necessity." https://salud.nih.gov/recursos-de-salud/nih-noticias-de-salud/buenos-habitos-de-sueno-para-una-buena-salud

Crystal, who wants to hide her real name, is a 26-year-old girl living in Beijing. Unlike most women of previous generations in China, she is not married and does not face pressure to do so. When she is asked why, she laughs, "I think it's because my family members never married or are divorced." It seems to be a common sentiment among young women living in urban centers in China. A 2021 survey by the Chinese Communist Youth League of nearly 3,000 people aged 18 to 26 found that more than 40% of young women living in cities had no plans to marry, compared with less than 25% of men. This is due, in part, to the rising cost of childcare and the specters of China's one-child policy. "Having only one child or not having children has become the social norm in China," says Yi Fuxian, a senior scientist in obstetrics and gynecology at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and a leading critic of the one-child policy. "The economy, the social environment, education and almost everything else has to do with the one-child policy," he adds. Steep drop For Beijing, this is a worrying trend because China's po[CENSORED]tion is declining. This is bad news for the world's second-largest economy, where the workforce is already shrinking and an aging po[CENSORED]tion is beginning to put pressure on state services. China's working-age po[CENSORED]tion, aged 16 to 59, currently numbers about 875 million, just over 60% of the country's po[CENSORED]tion. But that number is expected to fall further, by another 35 million, over the next five years, according to an official government estimate in 2021. "China's demographic structure in 2018 was similar to Japan's in 1992," Yi says. "And in 2040 it will be similar to that of Japan in 2020." Many economists had assumed until last year that China's growth would surpass that of the United States by the end of this decade, a milestone that would cap the country's extraordinary economic rise. But this now seems unlikely, according to Yi, who says that "by 2031-2035, China will fare worse than the US in all demographic metrics and in terms of economic growth." The average age in China is now 38 years old. But as the po[CENSORED]tion ages and birth rates plummet further, there are concerns that China's workforce will be unable to support those who have already retired. The pension problem The retirement age for men in China is 60 and for women it is 55. Today, those over the age of 60 make up almost a fifth of the po[CENSORED]tion. In Japan, which has one of the fastest aging po[CENSORED]tions in the world, nearly a third of the po[CENSORED]tion is 65 or older. "Po[CENSORED]tion aging is not unique to China, but the pressure on China's pension system is more acute," says Louise Loo, a senior economist at Oxford Economics consultancy. Loo points out that the number of retirees has already exceeded the number of contributors and this has caused a drop in contributions to the pension fund since 2014. The country's pension fund is administered at the provincial level and on a "pay as you work" basis, meaning contributions from the workforce cover the pensions of retirees. So Beijing, aware of the cracks in its system, created a fund in 2018 to shift pension payments from wealthier provinces like Guangdong to those facing deficits. However, a 2019 Chinese Academy of Social Sciences report predicted that due to a shrinking workforce, the country's main pension fund would be depleted by 2035. In 2022, China launched its first private pension plan in 36 cities, allowing people to open bank accounts to buy pension products like mutual funds. But Loo says it's unclear whether many Chinese, who tend to invest their savings in more traditional avenues such as buying property, will turn to private pension funds. These problems are not unique to China: Japan and South Korea both have an aging po[CENSORED]tion and a shrinking workforce. Yi claims that Beijing is about to replicate Tokyo's policies to reduce the costs of raising children, but adds: "China, which is 'getting old before it gets rich,' doesn't even have the financial resources to fully follow Japan's path. ". And this is not the only thing that concerns Beijing. There is also a growing youth movement online calling for workers to reject the struggle for career success and free themselves from the pressures of a fast-paced capitalist society. Added to this is a high youth unemployment rate, which peaked last July when 20% of those between the ages of 15 and 24 were unemployed. Yi sums up the situation this way: "The labor is the flour and the pension system is the skill of making bread. Without enough flour it is impossible to make enough bread, even with the best baker's skills." https://www.bbc.com/mundo/noticias-65242208

Sony confirmed yesterday in a podcast that it is also preparing animated series or movies of its video game franchises. Several weeks have passed since HBO's The Last of Us series ended, and in the end the production has turned out to be a complete success. For all this, many users have wondered about the rest of the video games that they will adapt to the big screen. So far there are confirmed several series and movies from Sony that will reach both theaters and streaming platforms. One of the aspects that we did not know until now is that PlayStation Productions is preparing animated adaptations of the great video game franchises. Currently it is not known which sagas will be animated, but we can assume that Gravity Rush could be one of them, since it has already been officially confirmed that they are working on a movie. From here, fans will theorize and imagine what franchise will be animated, but at least the head of PlayStation Productions, Asad Qizilbash, has pointed out on the official podcast that there is "a bit of animation" within the video games they are adapting, as they pick up from Push Square. After all, PlayStation has more than enough studios to tackle this type of project, as Sony Pictures Animation is in charge of Spider-Man Across the Spider-Verse, although we can't forget about Aniplex and Crunchyroll either. What animation projects could PlayStation adapt? Before we have mentioned Gravity Rush as one of the possible animated productions that would arrive. While it is true that it fits a lot with the style of the video game, we still need confirmation from PlayStation. On the other hand, another of Sony's great projects that nothing is known about yet is Rachet and Clank, as an animated series or movie would make a lot of sense. Nor can we forget about other interesting PlayStation sagas that have been somewhat missing, such as the Jak and Daxter franchise. You also have to remember Little Big Planet or Sackboy, and even Sly too. All these projects could come one way or another, but it all depends on Sony and its predisposition. https://www.3djuegos.com/tv-series/noticias/playstation-tiene-arma-secreta-para-volver-a-conquistar-gran-pantalla-como-ha-hecho-the-last-of-us

'Unpacking', the game that turns the arduous task of unpacking boxes into a po[CENSORED]r installment that has hit it big on PC and console, has its unofficial version for iOS and Android. It accumulates a good number of downloads and good ratings, so we have tested it to tell you how it works. We already anticipate that it is impressively addictive, something surprising considering how simple the game is. A box full of utensils that must fit in a certain space does not have much more science. Unpacking boxes is my new vice Last year we talked about the 'Unpacking' phenomenon, a game that consists of unpacking boxes and placing everything inside in the space we have. A bathroom, a bedroom, etc. The game went viral and, to this day, it is still one of the most po[CENSORED]r on Steam. For Android and iPhone there is an unofficial version called 'Unpacking Master', a game that has managed to sneak into the most downloaded of the week in the Google Play Store and has more than 4.5 stars in ratings in the Apple store. The game is very similar to the original, and has hardly any ads (none while we're playing), at least in our iOS test. We have a box with almost infinite content and limited space. Everything must be well placed and ordered, at first it is not very stimulating, but as the game progresses you start to puzzle over where to place each utensil. As we progress through the level, more boxes will have to be opened and it will be more difficult to place everything. The concept, on paper, does not impress, but we encourage you to give it a try, since it is much more engaging than it seems. https://www.xatakamovil.com/aplicaciones/unpacking-master-adictivo-juego-desempaquetar-cajas-que-arrasa-tiendas-aplicaciones

The Californian team has indicated on Twitter that they are working on patch 1.0.4, which will arrive next week with numerous improvements. It's been almost a month since The Last of Us: Part 1 came to PC. The port has turned out to be a major disaster for a work that deserved better treatment. Given this, Naughty Dog has already released several patches to try to fix the poor optimization that has been carried out, and although there are aspects that have improved, it is still insufficient and users are demanding improvements in other sections. In this regard, Naughty Dog will address some of the most recurring bugs in the next patch. The Californian team has indicated on Twitter that they are working on patch 1.0.4. This update will be available next week and will further optimize frame rate, graphical and texture fidelity improvements. Likewise, crashes will also be reduced. Also, if you haven't preloaded the shaders, it looks like the CPU can go back to 99% again. This happened when you first started the game, but after the 14GB patch players had to go through the same process again. What is clear is that both Naughty Dog and Iron Galaxy will continue working and will not leave the players behind, although they will be the ones who will decide if they will enjoy Ellie and Joel again. Sony has raised the prices of its PC games in some territories It was a few days ago when we heard that PlayStation had raised the prices of its PC games in some territories. Although this measure has not reached Europe, some users in Latin America will have to pay more to buy titles like God of War, Marvel's Spider-Man, Horizon Zero Dawn. For example, the affected countries are: Argentina, Chile, Canada, Colombia, China, Japan and South Korea. https://www.3djuegos.com/juegos/the-last-of-us-parte-1/noticias/naughty-dog-no-va-a-dejar-atras-a-the-last-of-us-parte-i-pc-ahora-preparan-otro-gran-parche-que-llegara-semana-que-viene
