Microsoft has been betting on the PC as the default gaming platform for a long time. Thanks to this, it is possible to find in Windows APIs and functions that, until recently, were exclusive to consoles, such as automatic HDR for games, or one of the functions that has caused the greatest expectation within the PC gaming sector, the known as "DirectStorage". DirectStorage is a technology developed by Microsoft whose purpose is to significantly improve the performance of games on any computer that meets a series of requirements. The first of these is that it has an NVMe type SSD unit, and the second is that it is capable of communicating directly with the graphics card. In this way, this technology eliminates the need for the CPU to act as an intermediary in the transfer of data between both components, and, therefore, the level of load on the CPU is reduced (which helps to improve performance and achieve a few more FPS) and, above all, it decreases the loading times of the games. The main advantages of DirectStorage technology are, on the one hand, faster loading of game textures, models and animations, which translates into shorter waiting times and a much smoother experience. On the other hand, thanks to faster and more efficient access to game data, developers can create bigger games and infinitely more detailed worlds without sacrificing performance or load times. There are still few games that support this technology, although little by little more are being added to the list. If we want to try this technology, some of the titles that support it are Forza Horizon 5, Microsoft Flight Simulator, Crysis Remastered Trilogy and Warhammer 40,000: Darktide. Check if your PC is compatible As we have already said, in order to take advantage of DirectStorage it is necessary for our computer to meet certain specific requirements. The first of these is having Windows 11 installed, although Windows 10 also supports a more limited version of this API. We must also have an NVMe PCIe 3.0 SSD mounted on the computer together with a graphics card that supports DirectX 12 Ultimate. The SSD used to have to be at least 1TB, although luckily Microsoft has recently removed this requirement. To check if our computer is compatible (or, if it is not, why it is not), what we must do is open the game bar, or Game Bar, using the Windows + G keyboard shortcut. Once we have the game bar in sight, what we will do is open the Settings panel, and go to the "Game Features" section. Here we can see a section dedicated entirely to DirectStorage. We will be able to see if the graphics card, or GPU, is compatible with the technology, if the operating system supports it, and if the units also support this function. In the event that any of these components does not support it, it will tell us that it is not compatible so that we can take the measures that we consider appropriate. If our PC is compatible, we don't have to do anything else. Just find a compatible game and start playing to see load times almost a thing of the past. https://www.softzone.es/noticias/windows/comprueba-pc-compatible-directstorage/

While the rumors of an ultra-high-end virtual reality helmet, it is said that it will cost around 3,000 euros, by Apple, does not stop appearing in the rumor mill, the reality is that in the world the PC there has been sabotage to VR, and the culprits in this have been NVIDIA and AMD who have done everything possible so that their GPUs do not have the necessary optimizations for virtual reality. Why is Virtual Reality after so many years and PC advances still something residual? In recent years, we have seen how NVIDIA and AMD have gradually moved away from this medium to tiptoe and not even mention it in their marketing. Is there a clear intent to sabotage VR, or are they technical limitations instead? The high technical requirements of Virtual Reality We have to start from the fact that virtual reality is based on completely different rules to those for generating graphics on a conventional screen, mainly due to the fact that we are generating two images simultaneously, one for each eye, which although they are presented in the same LCD panel is actually two separate display lists. That is to say, the VR, without optimizations, forces the CPU to have to work twice as much per frame as in a conventional situation, but it is not the only element to take into account. Why do we say that there is sabotage to VR? The first of the reasons has to do with USB-C connectivity. One of the peculiarities of the PS5 is that its front USB-C port is switched so that it can receive the signal from the display controller integrated into its main chip, this means that the PSVR 2 has a direct connection to the GPU. On the other hand, on PC things are more complicated. If we talk about laptops, we will see that it has been recently when they have begun to consider that the video outputs beyond the one used by the main screen have the same latency. On the desktop it is more complicated, since the image buffer has to be passed through PCI Express to the RAM where it has to be copied and from there it is sent to the USB-C output of the motherboard. This adds an additional latency of several milliseconds which does not make it ideal. The best solution? If the CPU has a built-in USB controller, typically via a PCIe to USB 3.1 or higher bridge, then the data can be sent directly. The problem is that Intel never puts a USB controller in their CPUs, but AMD does. The way to solve it? Well, forcing the graphics card and the CPU to have to go full lung to generate the graphics to alleviate this problem. DLSS and FSR are part of VR sabotage Now, many of you will think that the solution can come from NVIDIA and AMD's resolution scaling techniques that allow more frames to be generated. Well, the problem comes from the fact that they add a fixed latency to carry out their work, which can be counterproductive. We must bear in mind that one thing is the speed at which the frames are generated and another is the latency of movement to photon. And this is something that many of you are going to experience when you are using FSR3 or DLSS3 and the frame interpolation that both have. Take a game at 60 FPS interpolated at 120 FPS and then another native one at 120 FPS and believe us that you will notice how in the first case the response time will seem much higher. This breaks the immersion in virtual reality and its inclusion and promotion can be seen in a certain way as a sabotage of VR. The solution that got lost along the way In the midst of the boom in failed 3D screens, a little over a decade ago, in the era of DirectX 10, the company Crytek, creator of the po[CENSORED]r Crysis, did not come up with anything other than to launch a solution that allowed one normal image to be converted into two stereo images and for very little. Well, really what it did is that the processor did not have to calculate two frames and the geometry of both did not have to be calculated, but only one. The technique I was doing was using the already extinct DX10 Geometry Shaders to generate a modified and displaced version according to the camera to have the two frames. This didn't save the cost of coloring the pixels, the most expensive part of the process of generating a 3D image, but it did help a little and speed it up. The problem? With DX 11 Geometry Shaders became extinct and so far neither NVIDIA nor AMD have implemented this mechanism in the raster unit of their GPUs. The real reason, video memory It is not that there is conscious sabotage of VR, but rather that we have to start from the fact that virtual reality not only requires a very high refresh rate, but also extremely high resolution. Other solutions such as Ray Tracing, despite its lack of po[CENSORED]rity among users, at least you can sell them for the beauty, but VR costs much more to sell. The point is that: Increasing the resolution has an impact on the bandwidth of the video memory. Raise the frame rate the same. What happen? That the biggest limitation that graphics cards have today is the speed of the video memory, really the reason why there are solutions such as FSR and DLSS is for this reason. In any case, we have already said that they are counterproductive for virtual reality. https://hardzone.es/noticias/perifericos/sabotaje-vr-nvidia-amd/

China has been the main consumer of Ecuadorian shrimp for a decade. Businessman Jorge Castro extends his arm and points to a succession of ponds the size of soccer fields next to the Taura River, about 15 kilometers southeast of Guayaquil. “Before all these were rice fields. Now they are shrimp farms ”, he assures BBC Mundo. Its 200-hectare farm generates more than 1,300 tons of this crustacean per year. Castro runs one of the 4,000 shrimp companies that operate in Ecuador, the country that last year broke all records in the sector by exporting more than 1,060 million tons. Since the beginning of the industry in the 1960s, shrimp has become a pillar of the Ecuadorian economy, to which today it contributes some 280,000 direct and indirect jobs, according to the National Chamber of Aquaculture (CNA). At the same time, it has transformed its coastal and mangrove regions, and has also attracted dangerous pirates and armed criminals. BBC Mundo traveled to Ecuador to investigate the reality of this multi-million dollar industry. The country of "pink gold" Although shrimp naturally inhabit the Ecuadorian coast, they are hardly caught in open waters and almost all production is industrial. The process begins in a laboratory, where breeding males and females selected for their optimal genetic conditions produce millions of larvae. When they grow, they are raised in nurseries and then deposited in ponds or "pools" in mangrove areas or on dry land, as is the case on the Castro farm. "Movement is life in the shrimp sector," says the businessman. He means that, to prevent the shrimp from dying due to lack of oxygen, a system of pumping stations and gates makes the water flow between the pools and the rivers or the sea. The animals are fed with a compound of soy, fishmeal and other nutrients that they call "balanced". Aging usually lasts between 3 and 4 months until they reach the desired weight, usually about 20 or 30 grams. Then they are fished with nets. That is where the work of the shrimp farms ends, which sell them to processing companies for their selection, packaging and distribution in the market. In 2014, US$3.75 per pound of Ecuadorian shrimp was paid in the international market, the highest to date; the following years it fell and is currently around US$3.10. The producer receives approximately half, and the rest is paid by the companies that process, pack and distribute the seafood. For this reason, in Ecuador some consider shrimp as "pink gold" for being almost as lucrative and coveted as "black gold". Oil was the main asset of the South American country in 2022 with 35.5% of total exports, according to data from the Ministry of Production, Foreign Trade, Investment and Fisheries. Shrimp ranked second, with 23.6%, and was consolidated as the largest non-oil export. Ecuadorian shrimp exports, 2012-2022 One out of every five shrimp circulating in world markets today comes from Ecuador. The country was a pioneer in the industry in the 1960s thanks to its favorable conditions: tropical climate with high temperatures and humidity, good quality water thanks to extensive mangrove swamps that act as natural filters, and an abundance of native species such as the white shrimp of the Pacific or vannamei. Added to this was the ambition and effort of families and corporations, which went from exporting a few containers in the early years to exceeding US$1 billion in 2011 and reaching, in 2022, according to the National Chamber of Aquaculture, the record figure for US $6,653 million, 5.7% of the nation's Gross Domestic Product (GDP). The role of china Paradoxically, a country located in the antipodes of Ecuador marked the destiny of its shrimp industry. "China taught us to produce large shrimp," explains Boris Bohórquez, director of the Ecuadorian Federation of Aquacultors, which brings together small and medium-sized producers, to BBC Mundo. The Asian giant bought 59 of every 100 shrimp produced in Ecuador last year. Since the beginning of the industry, most of the Ecuadorian seafood went to the West, but this changed. "Until 2014, Ecuador exported 60% of its shrimp to Europe and the US, but from then on, China began to demand our shrimp and demanded larger shrimp," says Bohórquez. Ecuadorian shrimp exports in 2022 "What China produced was no longer enough for them, they eat everything and they lack it," says the representative of the businessmen. Thus, he explains, Ecuadorian fish farmers began to adapt their production techniques to the new demand: among other measures, they lengthened aging from 3 to 4 months to increase the size of the shrimp from an average of 18 grams to about 30 grams. In this way, Ecuador consolidated itself in the Chinese market over its main competitor, India, whose shrimp are smaller on average. Of every 100 shrimp China bought last year, 70 came from Ecuador and 18 from India, according to CNA data. Only with shrimp, Ecuador was the country that sold the most fish and shellfish to China in 2022 with US$3,582 million dollars, above US$2,750 million from Russia, an immensely larger border country. "We are mutually dependent," acknowledges the president of the National Chamber of Aquaculture, José Antonio Camposano. Smuggling from Vietnam China has been the main consumer of Ecuadorian shrimp for a decade but, if we analyze the official data from the CNA and the Ministry of Commerce of the South American country, something does not add up. Between 2014 and 2018 Vietnam, a country specialized in producing and selling this seafood, is the number one importer of Ecuadorian shrimp. Because? An industry source, on condition of anonymity, explains it to us: during those years, shrimp exports to Vietnam ended up reaching China clandestinely. “A Chinese representative would come and buy you 50 or 100 containers in white boxes without a brand, without origin, destined for the Vietnamese port of Hai Phong. From there the shrimp was smuggled into China over the land border from Vietnam to avoid paying taxes,” the source revealed. “But the Chinese government started making raids and dumping the containers in Hai Phong. And in the end, already in 2018, they said: we are going to formalize this”. Thus, statistics show that in 2019 exports to China tripled compared to the previous year, those to Vietnam fell to less than a third and the Asian giant was consolidated, also on paper, as the main destination for shrimp. Ecuadorians. BBC Mundo asked the Chinese government and the Chinese embassy in Ecuador to participate in this report, but received no response. The “cancer” of shrimp farms An industry that moves billions each year in a country with serious security problems is almost inevitably a victim of crime. "They enter you inside, they assault you, they point guns or rifles at you and they take everything," businessman Víctor Vergara, who owns a small 14-hectare shrimp farm whose production of about 15 tons per year earns him about US$200,000, told BBC Mundo. Vergara was assaulted two years ago: armed pirates broke into his farm at night, badly wounded the security guard, threw their nets and took a large part of the production, as well as boats and material. He assures that almost all the shrimp farmers in his area have suffered similar attacks and most of them do not even report them for fear of the consequences. “We received threats. They send you messages through other people telling you that if you sue or notify the police they will kill you.” For Danilo Rengifo, President of the Ecuadorian Aquaculture Federation, "the situation is like a cancer" that invades the sector. “We have to fight the issue of low prices, the pandemic, the earthquake, the rains, the high tides… Having to fight against this other factor is too strong,” he protests. “They steal shrimp, boats, balanced; we found our workers in the water, who had taken their boats away; and extortions are given, which here are called vaccines”. The pirates, local sources inform us, are usually young people between the ages of 16 and 25 from the marginal neighborhoods of Guayaquil or other cities, who act independently or are linked to the criminal gangs responsible for the growing wave of violence and insecurity in Ecuador. And their assaults are becoming more frequent: 18% more in the first quarter of 2023 compared to the same period in 2022, according to Federation statistics. The industry estimated losses of about $200 million from crime last year alone. "But we calculate that there is at least 25% more that are not reported," says the representative of the shrimp farmers. The shrimp and the mangrove The Ecuadorian shrimp industry occupies 233,000 hectares or 2,330 km2, an area equivalent to six times the city of Quito. More than a quarter operate in marine and fluvial areas, where mangrove forests are erected, considered the lungs of the regional ecosystem. In Ecuador, mangroves cover some 160,000 hectares, approximately 30% less than six decades ago, when the local fishing industry had not yet taken off, according to data from the Ministry of the Environment. Shrimp farms cleared part of these forests to establish and expand their ponds to reach the current level of development. “Of the 233,000 hectares of shrimp farms, almost 60,000 were built on the mangrove swamp; but 20 years ago construction and logging were prohibited, and since then mangroves have not been destroyed again," says Boris Bohórquez. The director of the Ecuadorian Federation of Aquaculture Farmers explains that, far from devastating marine forests, some small and medium-sized businesses in the Gulf of Guayaquil have even devoted resources to reforesting them. “They invested US$4 million to build a 1,600-hectare mangrove swamp that is 32 km long,” he says. “Keeping it is good for all of us, because the more mangroves there are, the better the water quality, the better the oxygen and the better the future of the entire sector will be. Medium and small fish farmers see how the soils rot due to excess production and we know the benefits of the mangrove swamp ”, defends his representative. The biologist Bruno Yánez, one of the leading experts in the conservation of the marine environment in Ecuador, denounces, however, that the destruction of the mangroves is still ongoing despite the fact that they are classified as natural reserves. "Although there is a permanent ban, large and small shrimp farmers continue to cut down mangroves to expand their pools," he told BBC Mundo. The scientist explains that, in addition to purifying the water, the mangrove swamp acts as a protective barrier against flooding in coastal areas. That is why its destruction, combined with the effects of climate change, could lead to serious natural disasters in cities on the seafront such as Guayaquil or Esmeraldas. On our trip to the southwestern coast of Ecuador we also heard the testimonies of local fishermen about the alleged illegal expansion of shrimp farms in the natural reserves. “Mangrove felling does not stop. The shrimp farms put the machines in at night and act as if nothing happened. The situation is out of control,” claims Hugo Morán, 49, an artisanal fisherman in Churute. According to Carlos Villao, a 47-year-old crab fisherman in the Gulf of Guayaquil, "for the shrimp farms there is nothing illegal, because everything is done with money." “If they file a complaint and the Environment arrives at the reserve, they make a phone call and that's it. They destroy the mangrove ”, he laments. Ecuador's Minister of the Environment, José Antonio Dávalos, assures that the authorities do not ignore the felling of mangroves, as denounced by scientists, activists and fishermen. “The numbers say otherwise. In recent years we have had 28 shrimp farms with a firm sanction, whose process has already ended and they received fines," said Dávalos. He assured that most of the infractions are committed by illegal shrimpers, which are individuals or small organizations without a license that clandestinely build farms or tanks among the aquatic forests. “They go to remote places, they work with impressive speed and they do it in small quantities. What the informal shrimp farmer does is get in, cut down the mangroves with the machinery and leave a 1 or 2-hectare pool in record time,” he explained. All this to ensure a fraction of the gigantic business of shrimp production, the "pink gold" of Ecuador. https://www.eluniverso.com/noticias/ecuador/como-ecuador-se-convirtio-en-el-mayor-exportador-mundial-de-camarones-y-que-papel-clave-jugo-china-nota/

Researchers analyzed the behavior and speed of more than 500 species and these were the results The animal kingdom never ceases to amaze scientists, the more research is done on different species, new elements are discovered that help to understand why some specimens behave in different ways in certain scenarios. Mobility in species is vital for their survival, displacement helps to understand the behavior patterns that animals have in aspects of survival and adaptation to habitats that are undergoing constant transformations in the face of problems triggered by climate change. Alexander Dyer, a researcher at the German Center for Biodiversity Research (iDiv), led the study "The travel speeds of large animals are limited by their heat dissipation capabilities", which was published by the scientific journal PLoS Biology. in April of this year. In this work, the research team explained the reason behind why large species move at slow speeds. Movement capabilities Ulrich Borse, Emilio Berti, Benjamin Rosenbaum and Myriam R. Hirt, who made up the rest of the work team, described in the article that these new observations help to understand "the movement capabilities that animals have and can be used to estimate the movement speed of any animal based on its size”, they detailed. During the investigation, the scientists examined the relationships that the size of the animal had with its speed to move from one point to another. Dyer and his colleagues analyzed this aspect in 532 species of different sizes and started from the assumption that larger animals -with longer legs or wings- could travel faster, however, after analyzing the observations it was shown that the medium-sized specimens are capable of sustaining faster sustained speeds. "This approach can be applied to predict whether an animal could move between habitats fragmented by human development, even when the details of its biology are unknown," said Dyer, whose statements were rescued from the digital media specialized in science, Phys. Warming in animals Following this line of fragmented habitats, the research team suggests that large animals are the most susceptible to the effects generated by this type of phenomenon caused by humans. One of the conclusions reached by the academics is that the speed at which a specimen can reach is related to energy and the release of heat, that is, those who move slowly do so to avoid overheating. since your muscles require more time to dissipate the heat generated by the movements. "As a result, the highest travel speeds are achieved by animals of intermediate body mass, suggesting that larger species have a more limited ability to move," the researchers explained in their conclusions. The changes in the habitats due to the urbanization of the spaces become a much greater challenge for the animals, since they have to adapt to the "new places", change trajectory routes in order to find water or limited resources such as food. , forces the species to have to expand into new territories. https://www.infobae.com/mascotas/2023/04/20/esta-es-la-razon-por-la-que-los-animales-grandes-se-mueven-mas-lento/

Electricity has fully reached Maserati. The Italian luxury firm is in full product offensive, launching electrified versions of most of its current models. They surprised with the GranTurismo Folgore, the top-of-the-range variant of the coupé in electric format. And that denomination will reach more copies, the last one has been presented at the Shanghai Motor Show. This is the Maserati Grecale Folgore, a model that had already been announced a long time ago and whose details are now being revealed. It is the most powerful version of the Maserati Grecale thanks to an electric propulsion system made up of two 205 kW motors, located one on each axle to achieve all-wheel drive. Together it offers a power of 557 CV and 820 Nm of torque, slightly above the 530 CV achieved by the Grecale Trofeo with its 3.0-liter V6 biturbo. It stands out for its performance, with acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.1 seconds, 0 to 200 km/h in 16.1 seconds and a top speed of 220 km/h. And that weighs 2,480 kg… This model has 400V technology and is equipped with a 105 kW lithium-ion battery. This allows it to offer an electric autonomy of about 500 kilometers, in addition to having outstanding charging times. It accepts up to 150 kW in direct current (to get from 20 to 80% in 29 minutes) and up to 22 kW in alternating current. With Max Range mode, autonomy can be increased by limiting power and top speed to 130 km/h. Other driving modes are GT, Sport and Offroad. On an aesthetic level, the truth is that the Maserati Grecale Folgore also introduces some differences. There is an exclusive color called Rame Folgore, also wheels from 19 to 21 inches (some aerodynamic), in addition to the new grill suitable for the needs of the electric. Inside, it uses materials such as Econyl, a recycled nylon that covers the seats and some surfaces. On the other hand, the electric technology is similar to what we see in the other versions of the model. The digital instrumentation is 12.3 inches, while the main touch screen is the same size. There are many functions, connectivity with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto wirelessly. Some of the Grecale Folgore's own specifications are battery pre-conditioning, an air conditioner that maintains the interior temperature or a travel planner to optimize charging. https://noticias.coches.com/noticias-motor/maserati-grecale-folgore/489782

According to the latest studies carried out by the Harvard School of Public Health in 2020, it revealed that maintaining a healthy lifestyle is important because it improves life expectancy; that is, more years to live. It also helps reduce and prevent the risk of chronic diseases such as type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular diseases and different types of cancers. Every year, 17.5 million people die globally as a result of a pathology in the circulatory system and are the main cause of death worldwide, with ischemic heart disease being the most common, followed by stroke. High cholesterol is a clear trigger for heart problems and, if left unchecked, can cost the patient their life. Figures from the World Health Organization (WHO) indicate that people with an insufficient level of physical activity have a 20% to 30% higher risk of death compared to people who achieve a sufficient level of physical activity. . How to have a healthy lifestyle? Having a healthy life is not conditional on gender or age, if it is not living without excesses and being disciplined with food and physical activity. A fitness or healthy person is known as a person who is in good physical condition or in good shape, that is, a state in which our body is at the appropriate weight and in good health, through the practice of Some of these habits such as practicing a sport, avoiding a sedentary lifestyle or excess nutrition of fats, flour, sweets, alcoholic beverages, etc. It should be noted that restricting these actions in their entirety is also bad because you live with constant stress of failing, deteriorating your mental health. That is why it is advisable to enjoy without affecting your physical or emotional state, so that you can lead a good lifestyle for a long time. Benefits of having a healthy life Carrying out healthy habits on a constant basis will generate great changes in your physical and mental state, which is why it is important to use them progressively and turn them into a lifestyle. Next, we share the benefits of leading a healthy life: More energy: By having an active lifestyle, exhaustion will be reduced when doing any physical activity. Likewise, you will increase resistance and strength, in this way your muscles will also be strengthened. Emotional stability: Exercising will help your mind clear and release chemicals that produce happiness, such as: endorphins, serotonin, dopamine and oxytocin. You avoid diseases: By having a balanced diet and a more active life, you will be less prone to developing diseases that could become complicated over time.

Keeping a life in balance can become quite a challenge, but it is possible with perseverance. Medical specialists recommend having a healthy lifestyle during all stages of your life to fight against health problems and complications. We give you 6 tips to improve your quality of life. 1. Perform exercises Exercising regularly contributes to a considerable decrease in blood pressure and the chances of suffering from a cardiovascular problem. Also, it activates the body's circulatory system, which regulates blood flow, optimizes mood, reduces stress and anxiety, while improving productivity and increasing energy levels. 2. Stay well hydrated Water is essential for the body because it helps regulate body temperature, keeping the skin hydrated and elastic, lubricating joints and organs, and maintaining good digestion. The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends drinking between 2 to 3 liters of water daily, approximately. 3. Healthy eating Specialists recommend for a healthy diet include nuts, vegetables and beans, fruits, white meats, fiber and drink plenty of water or natural juices. Avoid processed foods and replace them with homemade food. Food is vital for our body and we must know how to consume it in a balanced way that suits our needs. 4. Rest well Having a good rest contributes to the well-being of our lives because, while we sleep, we release hormones, such as melanin and serotonin, which influence the way the body uses energy and others that help fight diseases, as well as counteract the effects of stress hormones, anxiety and depression. Children: it would be advisable to sleep between 9 and 11 hours. Adolescents: the sleep range should be 10 hours. Youth (18 to 25): between 7-9 hours a day, and no less than 6. Adults: the ideal would be to sleep between 7 and 9 hours. 5. Good hygiene Another habit to lead a healthy life is to maintain proper hygiene. In addition to saying a lot about our presentation, this helps us avoid various health problems, among which we can mention dental conditions, skin diseases and infections in general. It is also recommended to have a clean and disinfected environment or work environment to avoid health complications. 6.

During the Cold War, the vast caverns beneath the Swedish city of Västerås housed an oil reserve of 300,000 cubic meters. The oil was there in case World War III broke out and Sweden found itself cut off from international energy markets. In 1985, as geopolitical tensions began to subside, the caverns emptied and have remained so until now, BBC Technology correspondent Chris Baraniuk explained. Swedish energy company Mälarenergi has embarked on a project to decontaminate the facility and fill it with hot water at temperatures of up to 95 degrees Celsius. In essence, it is building a giant underground thermos, which the firm says will be the largest of its kind in Europe. "It's quite wet," Lisa Granström, acting head of the company's Heat and Power business unit, told the BBC's technology correspondent, describing her latest visit to the tunnels, which are at an undisclosed location. "[The caves are] much warmer than you would expect. They still smell a little oily," he explained. The caves have the capacity to store approximately the equivalent of 120 Olympic swimming pools and are 11 times larger than the largest surface hot water tank Mälarenergi has near the area, Granström added to Chris Baraniuk. Plan details This type of thermal storage is one of several ways to store heat in the ground for later use. With the rise of renewable energy and concerns about energy security in Europe following the Russian invasion of Ukraine, some experts argue that more use should be made of underground heat storage systems. Baraniuk indicated. In the case of Västerås, the heat from the caverns will be sent through pipes to a district heating network, which supplies 98% of the homes in the city of 130,000 inhabitants. Mälarenergi intends to start filling the caverns with water at the end of the year. The facility will offer 500MW of district heating power, the BBC journalist said. But where does the heat come from? To burn things The company has a nearby power plant with furnaces for the combustion of waste or biomass, which generate electrical or thermal energy. Granström told Baraniuk that carbon capture technology, which would reduce harmful emissions from the plant, is not yet in place, but his company is considering installing it. The hot water reservoir will allow Mälarenergi to continue heating homes on cold winter days when demand is high, without reducing electricity production at the power plant. A great natural thermos Storing heat underground tends to work well because it's very difficult for heat to escape: the ground itself acts as a great insulator. Granström explained to the BBC that the Mälarenergi caverns will retain heat for several weeks and that the system should be particularly stable once a few years pass and the temperature of the adjacent ground rises. "Once it heats up, the loss is not that great, since you have already heated the rocks around it," he said. This may draw the attention of the inhabitants of cities like London, who must endure high temperatures while traveling on the tube to or from work. For decades, the heat from people and trains has been raising the temperature of the clay surrounding the British capital's subway tunnels. So much so, that this clay now has an ambient temperature of between 20 and 25 degrees Celsius, which makes it very difficult to cool the wagons and platforms of the network. The project in Västerås is not the first of its kind. In Finland, the energy company Helen began filling a slightly smaller cavern system on the island of Mustikkamaa with hot water in 2021. The facility is now operational and supplies heat to 25,000 one-bedroom apartments year-round, the company said. "These solutions are great," Fleur Loveridge of the University of Leeds (UK) told Baraniuk. To take into account According to the UK Coal Authority, a quarter of the British po[CENSORED]tion lives on abandoned coal mines. A significant number of these mines are flooded and naturally maintain relatively warm temperatures, around 15ºC. This water from the mines could be further heated, perhaps by a heat pump system, before being piped to nearby houses, where it would heat radiators or provide hot water. Such a system could use heat exchangers to heat a closed water loop, so that potential contaminants from the mine water do not enter the domestic supply. Professor Loveridge pointed out that heating accounts for about a quarter of UK carbon emissions and decarbonising heating is quite difficult. Millions of homes still rely on fossil fuel boilers, for example. "We should, as a country, use all the sources to produce and store thermal energy that we have," she said. But there is an alternative to giant underground thermoses: what about hot rock sponges? Matthew Jackson, from Imperial College London, explained to the BBC that aquifers, porous underground bodies of rock that naturally retain water, could be used in the UK. It is possible to pump heat, or cold, into large areas of these "sponges" and then draw the heat or cold back through a fluid when needed, to heat or cool homes. Such a system could be even more efficient than hot water tanks in caverns, Jackson said. https://www.bbc.com/mundo/noticias-65276827

Players can no longer share their captures directly from Xbox One/Xbox Series or computers through the platform owned by Elon Musk. At 3DJuegos we are very attentive to everything related to Twitter, since the bird's social network is going through a time of great changes that, due to its great po[CENSORED]rity, end up having an impact on the experience of millions of users. Companies are also forced to accommodate the features that arrive with each update, which means that brands like Xbox must dance to the beat imposed by the platform. And now, due to the latest alterations to it, it seems that users will have to say goodbye to a widely used feature on both consoles and PC. Have you ever shared photos or videos of your game on Twitter from Xbox One/Xbox Series or your computer? Well, forget about this function, since it has been deactivated recently. "We have had to disable the ability to share game captures to Twitter directly from the console and the Windows Game Bar," Xbox announces in a message posted on the social network. "You can still share your favorite moments on Twitter via the Xbox App for Android and iOS." Although it is true that Xbox is the first video game company to confirm this deactivation, it is likely that other brands in the sector will join in the coming days. Because, as Tom Warren, a journalist for The Verge, recalls in his personal account, this is mainly due to the latest changes in Twitter APIs (application programming interfaces). These include a wide variety of connection points between the social network and other applications, allowing profile management, tweet management, and more. Thus, Xbox must have found a new limitation that makes it impossible to share game captures from consoles and PC. What's new in the latest Xbox update? While we wait for new information about this function, which could return in the future, we take the opportunity to remember the latest implementations on Xbox consoles. Because, according to the characteristics of its most recent update, it turns out that those from Redmond have been working to make their platforms the most ecological in the world, although there are also other interesting facts about the player experience. https://www.3djuegos.com/xbox-series-xs/noticias/xbox-se-ve-afectada-ultimos-cambios-twitter-ha-desactivado-funcion-que-unia-a-consolas-pc-red-social

Although the mobile world is filled with increasingly complex games that seek to get closer to the ecosystem of traditional consoles and PCs, the so-called 'gaming', it is appreciated that there are simple proposals that allow you to enjoy with hardly any power. And if these proposals are also online, we do not even need to install them. The last to arrive, or at least the last to go viral, is Wordle's bet. With Wordle we find ourselves with a very simple title, which we can play online from our mobile phone and which requires almost nothing of our daily time. Because it tries to find a hidden word every day through a very simple mechanic and very easy to go viral. The key is that it allows us to share a kind of color scheme with our daily result, and that invites us to find it and play. Guess the word of the day with very few clues and six tries It is convenient to start this review by commenting that Wordle is only available in English. It is very likely that at this time, and due to the profusion of publications on social networks that link it, there is already a proposal underway that imitates its operation using the language of Cervantes, but for now we can only find it in Shakespeare's. Yes, Wordle is in English and if you don't have knowledge of that language it will be almost impossible for you to enjoy it. But if you know English, its mechanics are quite simple and of course it's addictive. The game asks us to guess a random word, one that we don't have any clue about in the first place but that, as we get the letters right, it will simplify. When opening it, we find ourselves before a series of blank boxes that we have to fill in with a word. What word? Therein lies the key to the game. Once we have tried to solve the word for the first time, Wordle begins to correct our mistakes. The letters that are marked in gray do not belong to the word we are looking for. If an A is grayed out, the word does not contain an A. Simple. But also, in yellow we see marked letters that are in the word we are looking for but not in the place where we have placed them. We already have more clues. And if by luck we place a letter in its exact place, it will appear marked in green. Thus, attempt by attempt up to a total of six, we will be able to correct our first word, relying on each correction, on each clue that Wordle gives us. Whether we resolve the word or not, Wordle ends there. It ends during that day, because the next day we will have a new word available to guess. That is what allows us to play, one word per day. Luckily, the game uses cookies to remember us so we can leave a word unsolved and come back later, and it will be there waiting for us right at the point we left it. Although the game has existed for several months now, it was not until December 2021 when it began to go viral, and these days it is experiencing its authentic explosion. The reason is that Wordle includes since December the possibility of sharing our results. Not the full results, but the color scheme of our daily match. A striking enough scheme to invite us to play our own game and share our results. Yes, Wordle is addictive. Yes, Wordle is free. Give it a chance. https://www.xatakamovil.com/aplicaciones/wordle-nuevo-juego-viral-adivinar-palabras-que-puedes-jugar-movil-apenas-consume-tiempo
