The government of Venezuela declared this Wednesday person not welcome and expelled the ambassador in Caracas of the European Union, the Portuguese Isabel Brilhante Pedrosa. Nicolás Maduro, president of Venezuela. Nicolás Maduro, president of Venezuela. - Photo: President Nicolás Maduro assured this Wednesday that there will be “no deal” with the European Union unless it “rectifies” its sanctions against Venezuela, after declaring the maximum representative of the bloc in the country, Isabel Brilhante Pedrosa, a person not pleasing for the second time. “Either you rectify or with you there is never any deal, of any kind; no type of dialogue, gentlemen of the European Union, "said the president during an activity broadcast on state television. Maduro, surrounded by US sanctions that include an oil embargo, affirmed that his government had taken "important steps" with a European country to restore dialogue between sectors of the opposition and Chavismo. "But not like this," he declared. He subscribed for $ 39,800 pesos a year. View deal “We would not have wanted to do this, we do it against our will, even because we want to have the best relations with all of Europe, but we cannot accept that anyone comes to attack Venezuela, to sanction Venezuela. We are not going to accept it, from anyone, ”he observed. Hence, the government of Venezuela declared this Wednesday a person not welcome and expelled the ambassador in Caracas of the European Union, the Portuguese Isabel Brilhante Pedrosa, giving her 72 hours to leave the country in reciprocity to the new sanctions of the bloc. The Venezuelan Foreign Minister, Jorge Arreaza, said that, by decision of President Maduro, he delivered "in his hands" to the European diplomat "the declaration as persona non grata." New coup by Nicolás Maduro against the opposition Why was Juan Guaidó disqualified? The Maduro administration thus responded to sanctions against 19 officials, including Remigio Ceballos, one of Venezuela's main military leaders; Indira Alfonzo, president of the National Electoral Council (CNE), and two congressmen. The 19 Venezuelan officials are accused of undermining democracy after the December 6 parliamentary elections, boycotted and branded as fraud by the major opposition political parties. Unknown to the United States, the European Union and several Latin American countries, the votes gave the government party and its allies 256 out of 277 seats in Parliament, with which Maduro took control of the only power that was in the hands of the opposition.

Microsoft does not stop in the development of one of its star products, we are referring to Windows 10, but despite the constant improvements that it is making to its software, sometimes certain failures occur, something that is almost inevitable, as it has just been happen right now. And it is that at the moment many users are noticing that the process of shutting down or suspending their computers is taking place too slowly, which is somewhat annoying. Well, from what has been learned, the reason for all this is produced by USB Type-C devices, specifically if during this process we remove one of these products from the computer. In this way, the error that has just been detected causes the shutdown or suspension of the Redmond operating system to be significantly slower than expected, with which Microsoft itself explains that at some point it may take up to 2 minutes to shut down affected equipment. Well, according to the software giant, it is all due to a failure in the way the USB Type-C driver is implemented in Windows 10, so the problem only occurs when the device with this port is connected or disconnected. when the system shuts down. This is why Windows 10 takes so long to shut down As expected, this is something that affects practically any USB Type-C device, including here the docks and chargers of our mobile devices, for example, while at the moment there is no solution available. What's more, according to Philip Froese, an employee of Microsoft itself, he wanted to make it clear that the USB Type-C device should continue to work correctly when the system restarts in Windows 10, since there is no other problem apart from the slowdown in the shutdown process. USB Therefore, as explained from Redmond, an error in the implementation of the USB Type-C connector interface software in Windows 10 version 1809, can cause a 60 second delay in the process of suspending or shutting down the system if the Shutdown itself occurs while the aforementioned connector software is busy handling a new connection or disconnection event, so obviously we must avoid it. Of course, in addition to the additional minute required by the suspension or shutdown process if this circumstance occurs, this error does not affect the normal functionality of the port on the computer, since both the system and the USB Type-C ports must continue to function. correctly after the system reboot. At the moment nothing has been said about the launch of a definitive solution for all this, meanwhile, we can avoid slow shutdown by removing the USB Type-C device before starting with the shutdown of the computer.

The announced limitation for mining in the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 and the possible launch of a revision of the rest of the RTX 3000 range, is something that has caught many by surprise, since we did not expect it, but this limitation did not it is a change in hardware, which makes us wonder if it is possible to reverse the limitation imposed by NVIDIA. For some, Jen-Hsun Huang's company is taking advantage of the mining bubble to get more out of the situation, for others it is a move they are making to protect their market share and core business. Whatever your point of view regarding NVIDIA's decision, there is something we all wonder about. Can the RTX 3060 situation be reversed when it comes to mining? NVIDIA didn't have time for another solution X-ray plate While a change in a program is done in a short time, one in the hardware takes a long time to implement, not only due to the fact that it requires changes in the design of certain elements of the GPU, but also requires going through again. the entire period of mass prefabrication in which the physical errors of the chips are corrected, as well as the internal organization is rethought to achieve higher processor and manufacturing performance. The recent mining bubble has caught NVIDIA by surprise, as demand for its cards quickly began to be absorbed by cryptocurrency mining farms. This has led NVIDIA to have to find quick solutions to the problem, ruling out the creation of new hardware from the outset and having to pull the software part, specifically the BIOS / Firmware combination and the card drivers. Because NVIDIA, or any other manufacturer, cannot know how long a bubble like the one that is affecting them lasts, they cannot develop hardware to solve a problem that when the card is released on the market is no longer there. Although they cannot predict exactly how long it may last, either. Why are RTX 3000 wanted for mining? SM NVIDIA Ampere The answer to this question is not obtained by observing only the mining ratio, but by observing the mining ratio by the energy consumption of the card. Cryptocurrency mining emulates the search for minerals or oil in the sense that each iteration of the mining algorithm is increasingly difficult to break, requiring more and more power and thus more energy. One change that NVIDIA made in the GeForce Ampere architecture, was the addition of 16 ALUs in FP16 in each sub-core of the SM, which work in a switched way at 16 integer ALUs. But, in the most famous Ethereum mining algorithms 32-bit floating point units are used in SMs all the time, giving it a much higher throughput rate than the previous generation, NVIDIA Turing, which were ignored by miners by hardly increasing Pascal's mining rate per watt. NVIDIA's solution? Cut the Ethereum mining rate in half, for this the driver detects certain common attributes of the mining of said cryptocurrency and cuts performance. How? We do not know 100%, but everything points to preventing the use of the second set of ALUs in FP32 of the Ampere architecture when mining. Can the solution be reversed? EEPROM Firmware GPU According to NVIDIA it cannot be done, but with a little knowledge of the facts it is clear that the limitation is not only related to the new drivers but also to the firmware or BIOS of the card, which is usually installed on each card in the form of a EEPROM memory and therefore its content is read-only, so it cannot be modified from the outset, at least we cannot do it with the standard equipment. EEPROM stands for Electrically Erasable Programmable ROM. It is a precursor to flash memory that is used in many devices that, unlike standard ROM, can be programmed through special devices. The difference between the GeForce RTX 3060 and earlier RTX 3000 series models that are being used massively for mining is the content of the EEPROM where the BIOS and Firmware are located. An ordinary user is not going to sacrifice his graphics card to turn it into a paperweight by modifying the EEPROM, but a large mining farm may find it more profitable to take a gaming card, if it is cheaper, and modify it than do not buy the card for mining. So NVIDIA has to offer its CMP HX cards for mining at a much lower price than the standard GeForce.

What? In the great year of the TikTok app, these algorithms were the secret ingredient that put it ahead of its rivals. Why? She changed the rules about who can get famous online. Who? TikTok. When? Already. 57-year-old special education worker Deven Karpelman would never have installed TikTok had it not been for the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. And of course she never expected to become famous there. But this app knows how to reward good content with visualizations, highlighting new creators in front of a wide spectrum of users. This is how Karpelman, who started making videos to avoid the boredom of confinement, ended up with 327,000 followers, many of whom are half her age. In one of her groundbreaking July videos, Karpelman, known as @tequilaanddonuts, recreates the makeup styles she used to wear in the late 1970s. Her wavy white hair, which normally falls around her face like a granny , appears attached and collected in something like a false crest. She covered her face with white powder, painted her eyelids black, and put on a thin line of dark lipstick. The video cuts out there, and when Karpelman reappears, she shows the "groomed-out face" of her. The black eyeshadow has spread all over her face and into her eyes, as if someone had painted her face with a broad brush. After sharing this makeup experiment, the video appeared on the strategic section of hundreds of thousands of people on TikTok - the "For You" page. The woman didn't understand why this particular post was suddenly so visible, it was TikTok's recommendation algorithms that decided it. Die of success Since the launch of TikTok in China in 2016, this app has become one of the fastest growing and most engaging social media platforms in the world. It has been downloaded more than 2.6 billion times worldwide and has 100 million users in the US alone The unique way it finds and delivers content is much of its appeal. For most TikTok creators, the "For You" page is what sets this app apart from other social media platforms, because anyone can become famous on it. Good content is rewarded faster, thanks to algorithms that show users an endless stream of videos tailored to their tastes. While other social media platforms favor viral content with mass appeal, TikTok's algorithms have proven especially adept at connecting creators with specific communities that share the same interests, hobbies, or a specific identity. The chances of a video ending up on the "For You" page are determined, among other things, by the text, sounds and hashtags it contains. And just like any other social media platform, what TikTok chooses to show us depends on how we use the app: what videos we liked, what content we created. The difference is that TikTok does it better than other apps. It's easier for creators who are already po[CENSORED]r to get noticed, but TikTok doesn't take into account the number of followers or a creator's viral history when deciding which content to highlight and where. That's why the "For You" page combines viral hits with new videos from unknown creators, some of which have only a few views. Over time, TikTok's algorithms improve when it comes to guessing what its users are interested in, not only offering videos about the interests they already have, it also takes them to new spaces that overlap. (A viral video presented the TikTok communities as a treasure map: to get to the world of Frog TikTok, you had to leave Straight TikTok, find your way to Stoner Witch or Cottagecore, go through Trans and Non-Binary, and "go through the portal to reach the promised land "). Karpelman started making makeup videos after some teenage users tried to give her lessons on the aesthetics that she had lived so intensely. When we spoke on Zoom in December she told me, "[They were] trying to teach me about hardcore and, you know, how to be alternative. And I thought, 'Oh honey, you didn't invent sin.' Currently, videos of her appear a lot in communities dedicated to LGBTQ + and mental health issues and recently she garnered an audience of college women, she notes. Her followers say that her Karpelman has the "energy of a grandmother", which is the distinction that she Karpelman has relied on, although she has sometimes wanted to avoid it as well. The challenges Last year was an interesting one for TikTok - just as its cultural relevance exploded, it also started to face some challenges. India banned the app and the Trump administration threatened to do the same unless TikTok's Chinese parent company severed all ties. (The threat was not carried out). TikTok has had to post more information about how its algorithms work, in part to address security concerns about its property, and rivals like Instagram, Snapchat, and Triller have accelerated their attempts to copy what triggers the recommendations of TikTok are so good. At the same time, the platform has been forced to reckon with its growing role in amplifying disinformation, and many black creators have pointed out that racism and harassment are disturbingly prevalent on this app. For Karpelman, TikTok allowed him to connect with strangers during that difficult and lonely time, but the fame created has brought his own concerns. His followers have asked him for help with serious mental health problems and interpersonal conflicts. Sometimes they want more than Karpelman thinks he can give. His experience in working with students is very helpful: he sets limits and helps young followers learn to defend themselves. His recommendations include: "Let's Google. Let's see the address of your institute. Oh, there seems to be a psychologist in the whole district. I'll help you write an email. Send it to me, I'll check it and send it to you. back, and then you forward it to these people. We'll have to prove it. " But Karpelman has found another way to connect with such young fans: talk about what they have in common. In a video, he demonstrates how he pretends to be on the phone to avoid a particularly heavy salesman in a shopping mall. The creator concludes: "There were many children who said, 'I had no idea that adults have these social anxieties,' and that surprised me quite a bit. Children just don't understand that older people are human."

“Either you rectify or with you there is never any treatment of any kind, any kind of dialogue, gentlemen of the European Union (EU), so that you know. Venezuela has dignity and Venezuela will know how to respond to all attacks, wherever they come from. Period ”, President Nicolás Maduro Moros responded this Wednesday, in the face of the systematic and new interference attacks by the European right-wing leaders. "It hit the EU like an attack of madness and we were calm," explained the Head of State from Cagua, Aragua state, where he led a working day on Productive Wednesdays with workers who produce sovereign seeds. He said that the National Assembly (AN) debated on Tuesday the alleged "sanctions" of the EU, which dared to "sanction" institutions and representatives of the Public Powers, the TSJ, the AN itself, the CNE and the FANB, only for the crime of calling and supporting the parliamentary constitutional elections of last December 6. They even applied unilateral and illegal coercive measures to opposition deputies because they participated in the electoral appointment. He thanked the deputies of the Legislative Power for defending Venezuela with height, denouncing and repudiating the alleged unilateral coercive measures that the European Union falsely calls "sanctions." “And later in the debate, they decided as an agreement, which I assume as mandatory, they decided as the Legislative Power to declare the EU ambassador in Caracas, Isabel Brilhante, persona non grata. And today, based on the sovereign decision of the National Parliament, the Foreign Minister proceeded to declare the Ambassador persona non grata, ”he referred to Venezuela's reciprocal measure to respond to the interference of the EU. “We would not have wanted to do that, we do it against our will, even because we want to have the best relations with all of Europe, but we cannot accept that anyone comes to attack, insult, sanction Venezuela. We are not going to accept it from anyone! " He regretted and rejected the arrogant and arrogant attitude of those European leaders who believe they own everything. "They believe they are superior, they believe they are a government in Venezuela, they create a new world power and they do not want to be left behind in their colonialist imperialist ambitions on Latin America and especially on Venezuela." He publicly reiterated that this arrogant European conduct against Venezuela, disrespecting internal affairs that only concern Venezuelan men and women, will not be tolerated in any way. What do they think? In the 21st century, the elite, the top of the EU believe that they can address the countries of Latin America as if we were their colony. They were wrong with us ... They mess with the Electoral Power, the Judiciary, the Legislative, with the FANB, with the police, they mess with an entire country and what are they waiting for? That we stand idly by, that we thank them for attacking us? The National President recalled that a great effort was being made and much progress had been made in the steps with some European countries for dialogue between the Government and the right-wing opposition sectors that are defended by those right-wing governments. "But not like that ... The EU is welcome in Venezuela if it respects Venezuela, if it respects democracy, democratic institutions and our dignity," he emphatically stressed. He took as an example the excellent relations of treatment and cooperation with the colonies of Spanish, Portuguese and Italian emigrants who work in peace in Venezuela and have welcomed it as a second homeland for their children and grandchildren for many years. He called on Venezuelan and foreign workers to continue trusting in the future of the country, now without the so-called oil rentier model that did so much damage to the productive economy of the country, because it caused the abandonment of the countryside, internal migrations to the cities that gave rise to the phenomenon of ranches and the marginalization and extreme poverty of the po[CENSORED]tion. “It was the dependent rentier model that the oil jet turned us into. And Trump attacked the jet and cut it off, but he could not cut our wings and we are flying straight to 2030, towards the possible Venezuela, the powerful Venezuela. The imperialists could not beat us ”.

Nowadays it is rare to carry, as before, the operating systems written on CD or DVD. USB memories have made their way very well among these devices since they provide us with a series of advantages over them, such as reading speed and the possibility of reusing the pendrive over and over again. When we talk about copying an operating system to a USB, we usually speak literally: burn your ISO on it. However, given the current memory capacities (16GB, 32GB, 128GB, and even more), if we record only Windows or Linux we are wasting a lot of space. And this is where multiboot USBs come in. A multiboot is a type of configuration by which we achieve that the same memory, instead of having a single operating system, can have several OS inside it. This way we will always be able to carry with us all the operating systems we want (a Windows, a Linux, boot and recovery systems, etc.) in our pocket. And just by connecting the memory to a PC we can load any of them. When we connect the USB memory to the computer, what we will see will be a boot manager (which has been created by the program we have chosen) from which we will choose the system we want to boot. Advantages of a multiboot USB We may ask ourselves, what can this type of USB memory be for? If we don't normally use other computers, and we only use Windows, without being advanced users, we may not see much use for it. However, if we are already somewhat advanced users, and we like to test various operating systems, that is when we find the utility. Thanks to multiboot we will be able to have an all-in-one USB. We will be able to save in it all the operating systems we want (the latest version of Windows, an Ubuntu, rescue distros, an offline antivirus, etc.) and start any PC (both ours and someone else's) with it. In addition, we will also be able to always carry all the programs that we may need with us, whether they are portable programs to run on any PC or programs such as programs already installed and configured in the portable operating system. If we add a good collection of portable programs, we will also be able to turn this multi-boot pendrive into a complete Swiss army knife from which to solve any problem, from repairing the hard disk boot to eliminating viruses or recovering deleted data. How to create a USB with several operating systems from Windows Most of the programs designed to record ISO images to USB are heavy to record a single image to memory, since during the process it is formatted and erased completely. However, there are alternatives designed for this purpose, such as the ones we are going to see below. Important notice about UEFI and Secure Boot Modern motherboards have security measures that prevent you from loading operating systems without permission during boot. If we are going to use this type of USB memory, the first thing we will have to do is deactivate the Secure Boot from the BIOS, to be able to boot other operating systems without problems. In addition, if we have a PC with UEFI, we must bear in mind that we can only load pen drives formatted in FAT32. Therefore, the maximum size of the ISO that we can upload will be 4 GB. If we need to save an ISO of a system larger than 4 GB that does not fit into FAT32, then we can format the pendrive in NTFS and activate "Legacy mode" on the board. YUMI YUMI Multiboot YUMI (Your Universal Multiboot Installer) is one of the best known programs for creating a multiboot USB. This program, completely free and open source, allows us to create a complete multiboot USB flash drive from several ISO files. We can load these files ourselves from the PC or download them (in the case of Linux) from the same program. The first thing we must do to carry out this task is to download the latest version of this software from the following link. The program can be run in a portable way, it does not need installation. Add multiple operating systems to Yumi The first thing we will do is connect the USB memory to the computer, and then open the program. After accepting the terms of use, we will be able to see a window like the following one. YUMI - Create USB multiboot 1 We choose our pendrive, and we can choose, on the right, if we want to format the drive in FAT32 or in NTFS. If we do not format, we will keep the data we have saved (although we may have a problem when copying the different operating systems). If we are going to update the multiboot USB to add a new operating system (as we will see later) it is important not to format. Then we unfold the list and we can see a large number of operating systems. We can choose the operating system that we want to add, and download it from the link that the program offers us, or we can load the ISO image if we already have it downloaded from before. We can also choose if we want a persistent space to save personal data and that they are not deleted when the pendrive is disconnected. YUMI - Create USB multiboot 2 Before starting the USB creation process, YUMI will show us a summary of everything that is going to be done with the USB. We must verify that it is the correct drive letter where we want to save the data, and also that all the steps are correct. YUMI - Create USB multiboot 3 Now the process of copying the ISO to USB will begin. We wait for it to finish and for the program to carry out all the tasks it has to perform to leave the memory ready to run. During this process you will also install and configure syslinux, your boot loader. YUMI - Create USB multiboot 4 When finished, we will have the USB with our first operating system. Add more operating systems to Yumi When finished, YUMI will ask us if we want to add other operating systems to this USB memory. YUMI - Create USB multiboot 5 If we indicate yes, we will return to the section from which we added the first operating system, and proceed to select the next one. The steps are the same, but paying attention not to mark any formatting option. YUMI - Create USB multiboot 6 Likewise, YUMI will take care of everything: download the ISB, copy it to the USB and configure everything to be able to boot from it. YUMI - Create USB multiboot 7 We start the process and wait for it to finish. When it is ready, we will have a second operating system copied to the USB memory, and ready to start with it. We can repeat the process as many times as we want to copy all the operating systems we want to have in memory. The important thing, at every step, is not to mistakenly format the drive. See installed operating systems (and delete the ones we don't want) When we have several operating systems already copied to the USB memory, it may happen that we do not remember all of them. YUMI has a mode, in its main window, that allows us to see a complete list with all the registered systems. YUMI - Create USB multiboot 8 We click on that box, and we can see all the systems of our multiboot USB. We can select the system that we no longer need, and delete it from memory to free up space and its entry in the boot. This is useful, above all, to update systems that have become old: we delete the old one, download the new ISO and save it as one more operating system. So we can always be up to date.

We cannot deny that the announcement of the new graphics cards for mining by NVIDIA has caused quite a stir. The CMP HX GPUs would arrive to solve the problem of the stock of graphics cards for gaming, but the cross of the coin arrives with the RTX 3060 and will be extended shortly to the rest of the models, since NVIDIA limits the performance of its gaming GPUs for mining . Do we or are we not really owners of our hardware if this happens? We may not have thought about it, we may not be aware of it, but indirectly NVIDIA has set a precedent in the industry that can be very dangerous for the user. This article is rather opinionated, thoughtful and with a clear objective: to ask ourselves for a moment if what has just happened with the new RTX 3060 (and those to come) is really a restriction on the freedom of the consumer who acquires an NVIDIA GPU . Are we about to lose ownership of our hardware by purchasing an NVIDIA GPU? RTX 3070 vs RTX 3060 Ti As we assume you know, NVIDIA has limited the performance of its new RTX 3060 for mining use, so that the performance will drop by 50% in this area when the driver detects the algorithm of the software to mine the cryptocurrency Ethereum. This is something totally new in the industry and the company masks it with the slogan of "GeForce is made for gaming" and although they are right, it is the company that is dictating what we can do with our GPU and what not. Let's not limit this to mining, because this is not an argument or attack against the company or against wanting to launch a new line of GPUs exclusively for mining. The problem is that you are limiting the buyer's freedom to a specific segment to use their proprietary hardware. Now let's think about video editing software, what would happen if NVIDIA limits its use to us, such as the performance in SONY Vegas? In exchange for this performance restriction, it offers us GPUs that do a worse job, slower, but cheaper and more efficient, but also limited and with an exclusive use for this purpose, which is why it encourages us to buy those new models. But, by pure logic, it is indirectly limiting the use of our proprietary hardware, it would take away a range of possibilities simply because it does not fit with their sales strategy and they have a stock problem that they cannot solve themselves (current case of the RTX 3000). Will paying to own something fully be a thing of the past? RTX 3060 If we look at any other sector or company, we will see that the trend is to reduce the uses of a product that has been paid for, with the excuse that certain functionalities must be unlocked by paying extra for them. Call it forcing the repair in official stores like Apple, call it upgrades in a car to offer more equipment, or directly the opposite as we have seen with NVIDIA: if you want the best efficiency and performance you have a specific product, but the rest of my range, although be better, I limit it to make you go through the hoop. Last but not least, NVIDIA has locked down its upcoming GPUs that we know of only for Ethereum, why not BitCoin or any other cryptocurrency? Do you assume that even if the Hash performance is worse, no one uses your GPUs to mine anything other than Ethereum? Go ahead, product segmentation is something that has been around a lifetime, but what NVIDIA has done is totally different from this. Here we are talking about layering the performance in a specific task on a product that performs an excellent job so that with it you buy another, with the detail that the product you already have or are going to buy did not have that starting restriction. Therefore, and in a certain way, whether we like it or not, we are at the mercy of each company and it is this company that determines what can and cannot be done, regardless of whether the product belongs to us as buyers, the limitation comes from above. and the cap could be so exhaustive that just thinking about it is scary ... Is it legally and morally legal to do this?

An immense motorcycle ready to travel and with a rebellious character, although it also has details to improve The R18 is a model that was born as a concept in mid-2019, inspired by the 1936. A few weeks ago we had the opportunity to drive it at its launch, but now we had it for a more personal and unlimited test, so we were able to squeeze more. one of its greatest attributes, the nearly 111 kg boxer engine that dominates the eye.To begin with, I at it can do more and I do not doubt it, but that morning it was a lot of air against it and as you can imagine the Riding position with the exposed chest means that at those speeds you have to hold on to the handlebars or fly away. The response of the engine is total, with a torque delivery from 3,000 rpm that propels you at all speeds, although it is not something abrupt, but like a good European something to a certain extent docile. No, it is definitely not a motorcycle to travel, at least not this first edition of the motorcycle, since the seats are very hard and the suspension too, although there will surely be many users who do not care about the point of comfort and take it away to travel kilometers. The engine is obviously thirsty, and without a tank gauge on the gauge, you will have to learn quickly how to manage the throttle. The entrance to the track forced us to roll a bit on dirt, obviously the suspension makes you feel every stone, but the tires being not so wide allow a slightly easier handling. As they prepared the motorcycle for the photo session, we began to see what it offered, details such as the hand painting of the tank and tail, something that they did not mention in the presentation which is a kind of "hand brake" where when applying twice as fast the rear brake the R18 locks, which is used for example for a traffic light on a slope. And of course, play around with the reverse of this bike for a while, something that you will appreciate when you have to park. At the time of entering the track and from the test laps we noticed that as in all the motorcycles in this segment, the footrest indicators drag, yes, they allow a better lean angle than a Harley-Davison, but the effect is still there. When braking you feel the weight of the motorcycle, since even with the ABS brakes, when pressing the front in emergency, the front suspension lowers and the rear tire loses slightly “footprint” and you get to hear the squeak or a nervous movement. The R 18 gains a lot in power and style, although it loses in comfort in the long run, although as we could see with the R nineT model, they were not always used for a long trip but as a status symbol. And yes, be careful with a detail that seems to be something simple but it is not, the exposed cardan looks incredible, but that mobile element can be a danger for the passenger in the tie of a boot or pants. The response of the engine is not as spirited as the engine would indicate, but it is more gradual, and you feel it for example when recovering speed in an overtaking, power is not lacking, and in this driving time I reaffirmed that the space that exists between the instep of the foot when being on the gear lever or brakes is very reduced by the size of the engine something that you can still get used to, but it was very annoying. Anyway, today we drive this First Edition, and like the already mentioned R nineT we will surely see many variants such as the imminent R 18 Classic, which offers a windscreen, side cases and a larger visible seat. must tell you that in a controlled part of acceleration I was able to take the R18 up to 180 km / h, in the technical sheet it says th

The president of Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro, said this Monday that his position has been ratified and "re-ratified" after the resounding victory of Chavismo in the legislative elections in which the opposition represented by the opposition leader Juan Guaidó did not participate. "Here we are ratified and re-ratified by the love, the vote and the passion of a people," Maduro said after celebrating the "great victory" of Chavismo and referring to the approach he made days ago when he indicated that he would leave the presidency if the opposition he won the majority in Parliament. In statements broadcast by the state channel VTV, the president indicated that he "would not return" to make that promise because, according to him, he received many messages from supporters who expressed "sadness." Maduro also stressed that the result that Chavismo has obtained is a "great victory for democracy" after "a good election day." Election results The National Electoral Council (CNE) of Venezuela has reported that after midnight 5,264,104 votes had been counted, of which 3,558,320 were for the Great Patriotic Pole (GPP). Meanwhile, an alliance headed by the traditional parties Democratic Action (AD) and the Independent Political Electoral Organization Committee (Copei) came in second place with 944,665 votes, which is 17.95%. As detailed by the entity, the participation data in this election has been 31%. On his part, the first vice president of the ruling United Socialist Party of Venezuela (PSUV), Diosdado Cabello, has also celebrated the Chavista victory and expressed his joy after knowing the electoral results. Chavismo had been celebrating its triumph since before the results were announced in its campaign command, while the head of Parliament, Juan Guaidó, reiterated his denunciations on Twitter that this election is a "fraud." Today the majority of Venezuela turned their backs on Maduro and his fraud. The crisis is only going to deepen and we are obliged to stand up until solutions are achieved. For this reason, the # 12D all take to the streets at the #ConsultaPo[CENSORED]r. # CentrosDelFraudeVacíos https://t.co/HjrDghG6p0 pic.twitter.com/dPgn65zizD - Juan Guaidó (@jguaido) December 7, 2020 The parliamentary elections on Sunday have not had the participation of the opposition led by Guaidó, considering that the elections do not have sufficient guarantees to be a transparent process. One of the issues for which the opposition decided not to participate is the intervention of political parties by the Supreme Court of Justice (TSJ) that put political leaders who had been expelled after being accused of being corrupt at the head of the organizations. The opposition, in response, has called for a consultation that will be held between December 7 and 12 digitally and the last day will be in person, to reject the elections. He also appointed a committee to monitor irregularities in the elections.

Windows Media Creation Tool, the official tool to download Windows 10 One of the tools that we need to use when installing Windows 10 on a computer is Windows Media Creation Tool, a tool that allows us to create a bootable drive from which to install the latest available version of Windows 10, so that we can always be on the latest version of the operating system no matter when we are installing it. In this guide we will show you everything we need to know about this tool, as well as how to use it to have a Windows 10 drive with which to install the operating system, something that for some users may seem a bit intimidating, but over the years It has become increasingly simple and intuitive by both Microsoft and motherboard manufacturers, with UEFI interfaces that are more user-friendly than the older text-mode interfaces found in older BIOSes. How to download Windows Media Creation Tool In any case, the first thing we need to do is download the tool, called Windows Media Creation Tool, from the Microsoft website. It is a totally free tool, that does not require installation, and quite light, so that it will not take long to obtain it. The only thing we should keep in mind is that the tool varies depending on the version of Windows, so it is advisable to download it every time we need to create a bootable drive if it has been a few months since the last time we did it, because Microsoft changes the ISO image provided to us as major updates are released. Also, if we are not going to use it at the same time, it should be noted that we need to be able to find it on our computer making sure of its location, although this really applies to any file that we download from the Internet for later use. Last but not least, it is a fairly light and basic tool that we can use from any Windows installation, even from safe mode with network functions, so in the event that we do not have a second computer from The one to create a drive to install Windows 10 again and the recovery options do not work for some reason, we can always use it from a damaged or portable installation. Download Windows 10 and create an installation drive Anyway, once we decide to create a Windows 10 bootable drive, we will need to meet some requirements, which are mainly to have enough space on the hard drive of our computer to be able to download the Windows 10 ISO image, a USB drive from at least 8GB of capacity - although in many cases we will need at least 16GB drives due to discrepancies between formats - and of course an internet connection to download the operating system. Once we make sure to comply with them, if we run the application, we will see that we are offered two options. One of them will update the computer from the Windows installation itself, so that if we select that option, we will be allowed to update to the latest version of Windows 10, whether we are in Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 8.1 or a version previous Windows 10. On the other hand, the option most used by most users is to create an installation medium, which is where the USB drive would come into play if we need it, although we are also allowed to perform other actions such as saving the ISO file or burn a DVD. This option will also require us to select some data, such as the architecture of the target computer's processor, as well as the language, as we remember, although there is a box that allows us to collect the appropriate configuration for the computer on which the tool is running , creating an installation medium allows us to use it on another computer that may use a different architecture.

We always define the power supply as the heart of the PC, because it is the component that "pumps" the energy to the rest of the hardware components and, therefore, the operation of everything else depends on it. For this reason the protections of the power supply are extremely important for the operation of the entire system, the OCP protection being the most important of them all. In this article we are going to tell you what exactly the OCP is and how it works so that you can understand its importance. The highest and lowest, all power supplies include various protection mechanisms, both to protect their own integrity against potential changes in electrical current and to protect the components to which they supply power. Before we have told you that the OCP is probably the most important of them, and now we will see why. What is OCP protection? OCP is the acronym for Over Current Protection. This feature uses one or more circuits to prevent a power supply from supplying more current (in Amps) than its circuits and cables can handle. OCP is therefore important, since too high a current can melt cables and fry electronic components, as well as damage all types of circuits through which electricity passes. power supply This surge protection component is usually placed directly on the power supply rails; Depending on the internal design, it can be placed just after the AC / DC converter or in the 12V, 5V and 3.3V DC / DC converters (this is ideal), although sometimes, depending on how the voltage is converted in the source, there may be only one OCP on the 12V DC / DC and that's it, as long as the 5V and 3.3V voltages are then pulled out of the 12V (not ideal but usually works very well). When buying a power supply you should always make sure that OCP is among the list of protection functions, since normally electrical components are capable of handling quite wide voltage ranges but not current intensity. For example, a circuit that needs 12V and 1A to operate could withstand variations of between 11.6 and 12.4 V in voltage as well as variations below 1A in intensity, but never above 1A because then it would be overloaded, it would heat up and it would melt. How this protection works in the supply voltage lines Think of the electrical panel in your house. The main panel has fuses that provide protection by not allowing the wires to each wall outlet to handle more amps than they were designed for; The same happens with OCP, since it protects the power supply regulation circuits (as we have said, 12V, 5V and 3.3V but also the 5VSB if the supply has it) and ensures that the connectors, cables and circuits do not melt under extreme loads. Plug in flames For 12V single line power supplies, it is particularly important that other source protection features such as over power protection (OPP), under voltage protection (UVP) and short circuit protection (SCP) work well in addition. from the OCP itself; for example, if a very high load is applied to a single connector, SCP or UVP will turn off the power supply. Often times, 12V multi-rail supplies use one rail to send power to the motherboard, CPU, SATA ports, and MOLEX ports, while power for PCIe-connected hardware uses different rails. As a general rule, multiple rail sources have their disadvantages (such as having to be separating cables for each thing and, sometimes, even having to calculate the amps in each connector so as not to go overboard) but one of the advantages is that they are safer by having independent OCP protection for each of the 12V rails, compared to the great advantage of single-rail sources, which is that they better support the power peaks necessary for high-consumption hardware, such as overclocked CPUs or Top-of-the-range graphics. OCP vs OPP / OLP Over current protection (OCP) should not be confused with Over Power Protection (OPP), also known as Over Load Protection (OLP). This is another protection feature used by power supplies, which consists of shutting down the unit if more power is required (in this case we are talking about raw power) than it is capable of delivering its maximum rated power. For example, imagine you have a 500 watt power supply in your system but you have installed a pair of RTX 3090s, with a load when they are put under load that collectively exceeds 500 watts. At first the PC will start up and work without any problem because the consumption will be low, but the moment you start a game or 3D program and the two GPUs start to demand more power from the power supply, it will be the OPP system. / OLP which will turn off the power supply (and therefore the PC) when its limit is exceeded. This is the reason why when you do not have a powerful enough power supply, the system will shut down only when you start applications that demand a high consumption of the graphics or processor. Failure to have this protection system would lead to various problems that can literally include the power supply bursting into flames or exploding. Other mechanisms could come into play in this situation (such as protection against over temperature) if the source has them, but in any case the consequences can be quite critical if necessary.

Miraflores Palace.- Caracas. The horn of Metrobus unit 251 announces the arrival and the adrenaline that evokes three decades of combat and struggle. His companions wait for the driver who arrives at the La Paz Station of the Caracas Metro. This time he has brought his government team with him. At the wheel came Nicolás Maduro, the driver of victories. The undefeated president who leads all his people to safety. A unit re-powered by national engineering, marked the differences in the work environment that accompanied him when he was barely 28 years old and entered the State to work. Presidential Press / Zurimar Campos On the way the reminiscence of what was lived. Nostalgia for yesterday and the reunion that nourishes the soul. His family, the usual ones, were waiting for him on a sunny Sunday, which was not just any Sunday for his life, because this February 21, 2021, it was 30 years since he joined the ranks of the Caracas Metro. Unlike in the past with that transport unit this time, the queues that waited for him daily at the MetroBus stop in Bellas Artes, specifically on Route 421, were missing. There was no student ticket, no pushes, or taking the lead from the line of users to choose the best positions or not to travel unemployed. In his memory, the grandparents of that time to whom he gave preferential treatment. But of the pre-named, what has not changed in 30 years is his spirit of service and patriotic commitment. The collector, on board the 251, when he reconnects with his youth and way of working, smiles with satisfaction and does not bother to shout to announce the route, as he could do in the past. This time, he warns in a raised voice: No one gives up here! It is a warning to the enemy that persecutes us, to refer that we have the blood of liberators. Presidential Press / Zurimar Campos The usual whistle that he expresses, he greets those who wait for him when he arrives in La Paz. With the development of his work agenda to support the Great Venezuela Transportation Mission, the feelings that evoked part of his career as a driver, trade unionist and comrade in struggles come together. A button honors him for his 30 years in the Metro family. With joy and satisfaction of the duty fulfilled, the management agenda culminates, but not before reaffirming: “Here is Maduro, it is the one left by Hugo Chávez, Maduro is the voice of the working class, and it is the people in power, it is the class. worker president ”. Back, already on the La Paz-Miraflores Palace route, he returns proudly driving unit 251. The cornetting is now a response to the users who, while at the stops on San Martín Avenue, greeted him. He recalled: “30 years is a historical time where so much has happened. My fellow chamitos, seeing them all excites me a lot ”. Presidential Press / Zurimar Campos Like a worker who identifies, takes root and dominates his work environment, President Maduro describes this re-empowered unit with excellence and at the same time reaffirms his spirit of honor: “This bus is original. Exactly 30 years ago he was the same, I worked on the Fine Arts route and here I am at the same wheel, the same man, now with the wheel of the homeland that is more complex and difficult, but the same feeling, the same loyalty to the ideals of our people, which is the most important thing, to be loyal ”. At the height of the El Silencio urbanization, they continue their presidential responsibilities and they do not hesitate to affirm that in the face of the country's historical difficulties, one of the most important events is having achieved political stability with the victory of a new National Assembly. On his face you can see joy. Fixing himself on the steering wheel, he does not lose concentration and emphasizes that his concern is the well-being of the people and he sets the goal on this. "Now the recovery of national income, exports, oil production, and the transformation of PDVSA has to be a great achievement. We are going to achieve it with a lot of dedication and effort." Presidential Press / Zurimar Campos Through the Plaza O'leary, the cold breeze of Sunday afternoon blows, there is no queue in the streets, the week of radical quarantine against COVID-19 is already on the horizon. He greets passersby, he keeps staring at the dash and the rear view mirror. Always focused on the goal, he moves forward and reaches it. Tireless. Upon reaching Puente República, route 251 ends, which is destined for the Miraflores Palace. The arrival is as always, with his loving and understanding companion of struggles and victories, Dra. Cilia Flores de Maduro. Then his team, ready for all the fighting to come. The driver of victories in the homeland is like 30 years ago, the same driver who drove thousands of insurance to his daily destinations. He is the same one who leads the country with the ideals of Bolívar and Chávez, for independence and peace. In Miraflores there is an irreducible, there is the working class president: Nicolás Maduro.

Since its launch, Cyberpunk 2077 has been echoed by the news everywhere, cataloged as a game full of bugs that has even been removed from the Playstation online store to return the money until they have been solved. CD Projekt Red has been adding patches to correct a multitude of bugs, even before these were officially released, we already prepared a guide to correct and optimize the game with community patches. Once the game is much more stable, we will test in this guide the differences between having RTX ray tracing enabled and NVIDIA's DLSS 2.0 technology. Geeknetic How to choose the best RTX and DLSS settings in Cyberpunk 2077 1 NVIDIA has been adding and improving technologies such as ray tracing or RTX and Deep Learning Super Sampling technology or better known as DLSS in its latest generations of graphics cards, technologies that are applicable to certain games in which we will obtain a considerable graphic improvement or no, we will see it in the following sections. We will see some scenes in which RTX will be used with it activated and with it deactivated, we will also see the use of DLSS in its different available options, we will measure the FPS with Afterburner and we will check the performance to see if it is worth having or not having RTX and / or DLSS enabled in Cyberpunk 2077. Tests have been performed on the following computer: Intel Core i5 8600K CPU Asus ROG Strix GeForce RTX 2060 OC graphics card 32GB DDR4 3000 CL15 RAM Crucial P1 NVMe SSD For this we will have to configure the game by enabling and disabling these values, let's see how to do it. How to enable and disable RTX and DLSS in Cyberpunk If you have a graphics compatible with RTX or you are thinking of buying one and want to see how NVIDIA's ray tracing technology works, let's see how it works in Cyberpunk 2077, we can also check if it is worth having it active or is it better play without ray tracing. Turn ray tracing on and off We open the game and start it up to the title screen We enter the Game Settings. Geeknetic How to choose the best RTX and DLSS settings in Cyberpunk 2077 2 Now we move to the Graphics tab We slide almost to the end of this section and we will find the Ray tracing option that we will have to activate to start using it. Geeknetic How to choose the best RTX and DLSS settings in Cyberpunk 2077 3 We made sure that the Ray Traced Reflection and Ray Traced Shadows options are also active and changed the Ray Traced Lighting option to an intermediate option. Geeknetic How to choose the best RTX and DLSS settings in Cyberpunk 2077 4 We close with the escape key and start or continue the game. We already have ray tracing technology active in our Cyberpunk 2077 game. In addition to ray tracing technology, Cyberpunk 2077 includes DLSS 2.0 technology that we can make use of as long as we have a compatible card. By following these steps you can enable or disable this option in the game. Turn DLSS on and off We open the game and start it until we reach the title screen with the options. We enter Settings by clicking on this option. Geeknetic How to choose the best RTX and DLSS settings in Cyberpunk 2077 5 We navigate through the tabs to the Graphics option Just below the Ray Trace option, we have the DLSS option available. Geeknetic How to choose the best RTX and DLSS settings in Cyberpunk 2077 6 If it is in We will not have it disabled, we can move it to one of the different options available, although the recommended one is Automatic and not worry about it. Geeknetic How to choose the best RTX and DLSS settings in Cyberpunk 2077 7 We press the escape key to return to the title screen to continue the game with the new graphic settings. As we have done with the ray tracing or RTX options and with the DLSS technology in the graphics menu, we can change the settings at will simply by looking for the option or browsing through them. Differences between having RTX and / or DLSS activated We can activate or deactivate one or the other, have both active or deactivate both, we have analyzed the possible scenarios for these configurations and we are going to tell you the differences between the four possible configurations so that your gaming experience is the best and most appropriate. to your team, at the end of each option you have a video so that you can see the values of CPU, GPU and RAM. Playing Cyberpunk with RTX and DLSS off With this configuration we will have deactivated the main advantages offered by the new generations of graphics cards. To obtain this configuration in the game we perform the previous steps to ensure, and if necessary disable, the ray tracing and DLSS options in Cyberpunk 2077. By deactivating them we achieve greater fluidity in the game, we see how the GPU is freed of a lot of load, the microprocessor comes into action that can reach up to 100% load generating more heat, also the FPS does not increase too much. In this configuration we can see in the image how the textures are sharper, since the image rescaling on which DLSS 2.0 is based is not activated, the shadows and lights are not completely defined where the reflections of these are not achieved when 100% flooding the buildings with light and without a faithful reflection of the different lights on the stage, such as the neon lights of the illuminated posters, the shadows do not have greater definition either, limiting themselves to darkening in a grayish way where it appears. By activating the DLSS we will gain more fluidity in the game, incredibly even more than if we have it deactivated, this technology in its version 2.0 has managed to greatly improve the fluidity in heavy games where the scenarios require a large graphic load. With DLSS we see how the FPS increases considerably, especially in scenarios where there are not too many crowds, if we zoom we will see how the quality of the textures decreases insignificantly in favor of obtaining this advantage when moving the character through the streets or corridors of Night City. The workload decreases on the CPU and rises on the GPU but without exhausting it. By not having ray tracing activated, we will continue with the same previous scenario, the lights are not completely defined, the reflections are not correct, and the grays of the flat shadows, without much detail. Playing Cyberpunk with RTX on and DLSS off This configuration requires a greater hardware power, to be able to move Cyberpunk 2077 with RTX activated you will need a good high-end graphics from either the 20 or 30 series from NVIDIA. In addition, your PC must be according to this type of configuration, so you must also have a good balance with the rest of the components. By activating RTX we can see a great improvement in image quality when there are shadows, now the textures are much more defined and the object that is shaded is better appreciated, we also have a great improvement in the lights, by having the ray tracing active The lights are seen as in reality, projecting in the right direction, illuminating what is necessary and with much more real shadows, in the reflections of glass or puddles it also improves the quality a lot. Geeknetic How to choose the best RTX and DLSS settings in Cyberpunk 2077 11 The downside of this configuration is that the GPU is loaded with work, although freeing the processor of this load, and as we have commented previously, unless you have a high-end graphics, the FPS will drop and the game will be less fluid, even at half FPS, so performance will be severely impaired in the case of more modest computers. Play Cyberpunk with RTX and DLSS enabled So we take advantage of the technologies offered by the latest generation NVIDIA graphics cards, activating ray tracing and DLSS we will make the most of the advantages of having a recent graphics card. By activating the RTX, as we have commented previously, we will gain a lot of quality in the shadows and lights, thanks to this technology the shadows that the lights project will be more real and the objects that are shaded will have more definition, but in exchange for removing fluidity to the game, this time and with DLSS activated, this performance will not be as staggered as in the previous configuration where we do without DLSS. Geeknetic How to choose the best RTX and DLSS settings in Cyberpunk 2077 12 The FPS is lowered, but not so considerably, the load is shared between the processor and the graphics and the image quality is great, in exchange for sacrificing performance. Testing the different DLSS modes We have disabled ray tracing and we have verified how DLSS behaves in its different available options. DLSS technology offers us AI rescaling to deliver better performance on large images. Cyberpunk 2077 has 5 modes for DLSS: Automatic Quality Balance Performance Ultra performance We have prepared an image with Johnny Silverhand in which you can see the different modes that DLSS technology supports in Cyberpunk. In the Performance mode, which is the one that I have currently enabled to play my games, we will notice how the fluidity of the movement in some scenes where it costs more work is greater, especially when there are many objects on the stage, with lights, shadows and details. In this mode we begin to see something blurry at the door, something that will not be noticeable when we are in motion. Finally, the Ultra Performance mode is the one that most sacrifices the quality of the details to gain greater fluidity and therefore extra FPS, a useful option if your team is more modest. In the door it looks like the bars are out of focus, which makes the performance superior. What is the best RTX and DLSS settings in Cyberpunk 2077? We have tested the game with the four possible combinations to verify that such quality contributes to the graphics, but without forgetting the performance of the game, the result is that with RTX activated the lighting, shadows and reflections in general gain a lot of definition, but to cost of sacrificing performance in a considerable way. Geeknetic How to choose the best RTX and DLSS settings in Cyberpunk 2077 14 By activating DLSS technology in Cyberpunk 2077 we will achieve much more fluidity, where it is most noticeable is in the most relaxed scenes of the game, when moving through the corridors and streets where there are not many pedestrians, remember that you can eliminate most with the cyberpunk tricks 2077. Within the DLSS option we have 5 options to choose from, it depends on your hardware you can choose the most appropriate one. If you have a Gaming TOP computer, the recommended configuration is with ray tracing and DLSS in active Quality mode, having more powerful hardware you can enjoy better quality in those scenes with great lighting without the performance problems that this option entails. active graphics. Geeknetic How to choose the best RTX and DLSS settings in Cyberpunk 2077 15 For a medium term, the best configuration is to have DLSS active in Balance mode and give up that extra quality that is achieved with ray tracing, so you can achieve more FPS and a desirable fluidity when playing Cyberpunk 2077, without giving up a more than acceptable and decent quality, although RTX is disabled. If, on the other hand, you have a more modest equipment you can deactivate ray tracing, but surely with DLSS active in Performance or Ultra Performance mode you can achieve greater fluidity than if you do not activate it. If you deactivate both options it is ideal when you want to keep your components rested, helped by downclocking your graphics card and also configuring a profile for the fans in Afterburner, you will consume less resources and have a quieter environment. Geeknetic How to choose the best RTX and DLSS settings in Cyberpunk 2077 16 We prefer to play with RTX technology deactivated and DLSS activated in Performance mode, so we get an average of 80-100 FPS with great fluidity to do all the missions of Cyberpunk 2077.

When choosing any audio product that emits sound (that is, for example the sound card integrated into your motherboard), one of the parameters that manufacturers always specify (or at least must do) is the signal-to-signal ratio. noise, sometimes simply called SNR for short. However, it is expressed in a value that without having a reference we cannot know if it is good or bad, so in this article we are going to tell you what the signal-to-noise ratio is in audio devices, what is measured and what is it for. Actually, when we talk about audio products, there are many parameters that manufacturers inform us about, but unless you are clear about what each of them is, they will be of little use except to buy the values of one product with those of another, and even so Maybe you don't know if a higher SNR is better for a certain product or maybe the product with a lower signal-to-noise ratio is the most appropriate, so let's get into the matter to determine it properly. What is signal-to-noise ratio or SNR? The signal-to-noise ratio, S / R or SNR (Signal to Noise Ratio) is defined as the ratio between the output power of the transmitted signal and the power of the noise that corrupts it (therefore we only speak of devices that emit sound and never of devices that pick up it). This margin is measured, like almost everything related to audio, in decibels. Often times, many manufacturers use the term dynamic range as a synonym for SNR, but you must be careful because some use it as a marketing strategy to make it appear that it is the SNR when in reality the dynamic range serves to indicate the distance between the level of output peak and background noise. That in the technical specifications of a device appears the signal-to-noise ratio indicated in decibels, therefore, it does not mean anything if it is not accompanied by the reference points used, as well as the weightings. To correctly indicate the dynamic range, the decibel measurement must be accompanied by the weighting curve and the reference level used to measure it. For example, imagine a device that has these characteristics: 60 dB, CIR 468-3 (ref. 1 KHz, 320 nWb / m − 1). In this case: CIR 468-3 is the weighting curve. 1 KHz is the frequency used as a reference. 320 nWb / m − 1 is the magnetic level at which the reference level has been recorded. Obviously, if you want to buy equipment in terms of its frequency response, they must have measured the signal-to-noise ratio using the same weighting curve and reference level, something that is fortunately the most common in the industry, so SNR levels are normally comparative. Noise factor When we talk about noise in an audio device, we are not referring to background noise, since this can obviously change depending on the circumstances, location, or if there is a man honking the horn of his vehicle at a traffic light near your window. No, noise when we talk about audio refers to the magnitude of noise generated by the electronic device itself, such as the noise that an amplifier puts into the signal. Integrated sound card amplifier This magnitude of noise can be expressed by the so-called noise factor (F), which is the result of dividing the signal-to-noise ratio at the input (S / R) by the signal-to-noise ratio at the output (S / R ) salt, when the signal and noise values are expressed in simple values. The formula would therefore be expressed as follows: Noise factor formula However and much to our regret, the values of the signal-to-noise ratio are expressed in decibels and therefore we speak of a logarithmic formula. Since the noise factor must also be expressed in decibels as the audio magnitude that it is, then the formula would be as follows: Logarithmic noise factor in decibels The noise factor is a very important magnitude in audio transmission systems since while external noise can never be completely eliminated, reducing the noise generated by the audio equipment themselves depends on the care of its design, so that said of otherwise, the lower the noise factor, the more the manufacturer has pampered its design, delivering better quality. Is a higher or lower SNR better? Summarizing the above so that it is clearer, the signal-to-noise ratio is what separates the emitted power of a device with the noise that affects it, and therefore the greater this difference, the better. Therefore, when choosing a sound card, amplifier or other audio emitting device, when you look at its technical specifications you should know that the one with the highest SNR will provide a greater signal power, which will less tend to be affected by the noise of the Precisely, this is a parameter that although most manufacturers know they do not publish it, "hiding their shame" to put it in some way if their product is not good. For this reason, it is normal that only manufacturers of professional audio products publish this value, since if their product is indeed good and of quality, they will have nothing to hide. In any case, don't worry either because none of the audio products you have your eye on does not specify this factor, since for an ordinary user it is not going to make a difference either.

A much more cinematic, narrative and emotional Metroid This information would mark a turning point in the Metroid saga, since previous installments have not been characterized precisely by their cinematics or by their narrative, betting more on the gameplay and mechanics that make this property unique. However, it seems that Prime 4 would combine gameplay and storytelling in its formula. Nintendo announced in early 2019 that it had decided to "restart development" for Metroid Prime 4. Producer Kensuke Tanabe contacted Retro Studios, original creators of the Metroid Prime series, to take over the project. "We believe that if we collaborate with Retro Studios, we can develop a game that meets the expectations of the fans," announced the company.

Every year in Argentina represents a challenge for the automotive market. And to the problems of our system was added the global disaster that the coronavirus pandemic meant. But the sector must keep moving because, and this year it proved better than any other, sales of 0 km cars can come at the least expected moment. The year started accumulating months of sales drops from last year, which anticipated a negative 2020. But since March 19, with mandatory isolation dictated by the Government, the storm clouds have turned into the perfect storm. The country's dealerships were closed for weeks. Photo: José Gutierrezi / Los Andes The country's dealerships were closed for weeks. Photo: José Gutierrezi / Los Andes Factories, dealerships and auto registries were closed and the sector showed no movement for weeks. To make matters worse, there was already an accumulated stock that generated the meager sales of the past months. Therefore, when sales timidly resumed in May in some areas of the country, the discounts offered could reach up to 30% of the list price. But the gap with the blue dollar changed, widened and June and July began to show an unforeseen acceleration in the sale of new vehicles. Gradually the bonuses were disappearing and the situation took a 180 degree turn: in the dealerships they stopped "offering" vehicles and sales were agreed with surcharges. The situation became even more complex due to the lack of units (a few months ago there was an excess of stock): the Government began to block the entry of cars from abroad and those of national production, which had free access, still accused the time they were without manufacturing, added to the delays for delivery of auto parts. With all this, 2020 will close the year with just under 350,000 units sold, a very low number taking into account installed capacity and market potential, but better than projected for some part of the year. And it is estimated that in 2021 0 km sales will grow to about 450 thousand units. To respond to this demand, the brands are planning the following launches.

He ratified that there is “(…) a group of extremists who desperately try to cause harm to our country, since the executive cabinet has met to analyze and categorically reject this type of subversive activities against the peace of Venezuela and that is why we have I have been analyzing the different aspects of this agenda that we consider to be a definitive coup "

For several months now, multiple users have been reporting through forums such as Reddit problems related to USB connectivity present in systems that have AMD 500 series motherboards. Even though these complaints weren't gaining enough attention, it now appears the issue has escalated to a point enough for AMD to speak up. The first reports of these problems came from Gigabyte motherboards, but users of other brands also began to speak up soon after. Generally, what was reported is peripherals connected to USB ports, which are disconnected out of nowhere and stop working. While not everyone suffers from the same problem, people who are affected say it occurs frequently. AMD's statement “AMD is aware of reports that a small number of users are experiencing intermittent USB connectivity issues, reported on 500 series motherboards. We have been looking at the root of this problem and, at this time, we would like to ask It helps the community. With a small selection of additional hardware configurations over the next few days, some r / Amd users will be contacted directly by an AMD representative (u / AMDOfficial) via Reddit's direct messaging system with a request for more information. " stated AMD on the company's subReddit. As we can see from the statement, AMD still does not know for sure what is causing these problems and will need the help of users to get more information before they can be resolved. In addition to the direct contacts you will make via Reddit, AMD also encourages people experiencing similar issues to report in detail using its bug report form. “This order may include detailed hardware configurations, steps to reproduce the problem, specific logs, and other relevant system information to verify our development efforts. We will offer an update when we have more details to share. Customers experiencing problems are always advised to create a service order with AMD customer support; this allows us to find correlations and compare notes across different support requests. " AMD is not sure what is causing these USB connectivity problems on 500 series motherboards. Are you suffering from it?
