One of the hottest news of the summer in the video game landscape is that Baldur's Gate 3 has moved up its release date on PC, where it will be playable starting on August 3. Now, Larian Studios has updated the list of minimum and recommended requirements to be able to play on PC through the Steam platform (where, by the way, it will work with Remote Play), so below we are going to list and comment on them to see what PC you would need to be able to play decent. After seeing the latest announcements around Baldur's Gate 3, there is no doubt that Larian Studios has "delivered" a real monstrosity, an entire role-playing game based on Dungeons & Dragons that will continue and expand the success of the franchise, and Hand in hand with the studio responsible for titles such as Divinity: Original Sin 2, which at the time topped the list of best-selling games for almost a year. Baldur's Gate 3: minimum and recommended requirements on PC The good news is that, despite the fact that the graphics of Baldur's Gate 3 have been renewed and improved to adapt them to the new generations of PC and consoles (remember that it will also come out later for PS5 and, theoretically, also on Xbox consoles, although for the latter there is still no defined release date), the Larian Studios graphics engine is quite light and, as such, does not require excessively powerful hardware on PC (do not think that it can work in a toaster, now it is we see). Thus, according to the requirements for Baldur's Gate 3 on Steam, at least we will need an Intel Core i5-4690 / AMD FX-8350 processor to be able to play, processors that already have a tradition and that show that the title will not "pull" a lot of processor. In addition to this, we will need to have 8 GB of RAM and a GTX 970 / RX 480 with 4 GB dedicated to video, all this to move the title to Full HD resolution. Regarding the recommended requirements, Larian tells us that to fully enjoy Baldur's Gate 3 we will need to have an Intel Core i7-8700K or an AMD Ryzen 5 3600, processors that are more modern but are still mid-range. Along with these, we would need to have 16 GB of RAM, which is already the standard in any gaming PC, as well as a GTX 2060 SUPER / RX 5700 XT with 8 GB of VRAM, graphics that are also more modern but have been on the market for a few years. And they are quite accessible. The SSD is "mandatory" Another fact to keep in mind is that the developer says that the SSD will be mandatory. In fact, we can already tell you that it is NOT mandatory, literally speaking, and if you have a conventional mechanical disk, the game will work just the same, but since it is a very heavy title in terms of storage (requires 150 GB), if you do not have an SSD the The gaming experience will be greatly diminished due to the long waiting times on the loading screens, no more and no less. And watch out for the console version; Both the PS5 and Xbox have SSDs, but the capacity of these is quite low and with the 150 GB that Baldur's Gate 3 occupies, the demand for additional and external SSDs is likely to skyrocket to accommodate the size of the game. We will see. In short, Baldur's Gate 3 is one of the most anticipated games this year, especially for lovers of this style of game and, of course, of the franchise, and it is excellent news that its system requirements are not very high because this means that users with fairly old PCs will be able to play without any problem. https://hardzone.es/noticias/equipos/requisitos-baldurs-gate-3/

We've been talking about the plummeting price of RAM for months due to low demand. There is an excess supply and the demand is low, which has forced the price to drop to give them an outlet. Samsung has presented its accounts and, due to RAM, presents losses. Currently, there are few manufacturers of chips for RAM memory. We have SK Hynix, Micron and Samsung, mostly in the market. These three companies would have agreed to reduce production to raise prices. The reason for this pact is that they would be selling the memory chips at a loss. If you search, you can find 16 GB DDR4 kits on the market for between 50-60 euros, which are ridiculous prices. We can even see 32 GB DDR4 kits below 100 euros. They are quite ridiculous prices, the result of low demand today. All the alarms turned on by the South Korean company Business Korea is reporting that Samsung's DS division, which handles the semiconductor business, is suffering heavy losses. During the first quarter, the company registered losses amounting to 3.2 million euros. As reported by this medium, they register estimated losses between 7.23-10.32 million euros for the second quarter. Previous preliminary data spoke of about 3 million euros of losses. In the end, according to analysts, the losses would be much larger. On the other hand, the average operating profit margin would be 3.6%, falling for the first time since 2008 from 5%. The operating profit for this year would be about 6.6 million euros. It should be noted that in 2022 operating profits of 187 million euros were achieved. We are talking about a drop close to 78%. We remember again that we are talking about the semiconductor division of Samsung, not the entire company. The DS division is focused on manufacturing memory chips for RAM and SSD. The market demand for SSDs and RAM memories is still low. This would be behind the losses of this division of the South Korean company. Despite this disastrous data, it would be impossible to close this division. We remember that there is an oligopoly and it would be a transitory situation. Samsung hopes that with reduced production and inventory, along with increased demand, the situation will change. Specifically, they hope that the demand for memory for artificial intelligence will manage to reverse the situation. It seems that the second half of the year will be better. Although analysts expect losses for the third quarter, they would be much lower than in previous quarters. In addition, it is expected that by the end of the year it will return to profit. DDR5 and HBM would "save" this division They suggest that the third quarter would be the last in negative. DDR5 memory for consumption and HBM for IA, will increase in demand and price. It seems that the transition to DDR5 will increase in the coming months, according to analysts. AI would be the great lifeline for this division and other memory manufacturers. This market is moving a lot of money and it is estimated that it will increase a lot in the coming months and years. Remember that NVIDIA is one of the main providers of AI solutions in the market. https://hardzone.es/noticias/componentes/samsung-problema-economico-memoria-ram/

The Republican Party has put most of its efforts into the constituent process, and that is because a large part of the presidential race of its main leader, José Antonio Kast, rests on its success. For this reason, to reduce the margin of error to the minimum, they put the constitutional lawyer Jorge Barrera in charge of the team of advisers for the Republican bench. From there he directs, coordinates and evaluates the steps of the advisers who are under his supervision and, in addition, translates the republican imprint into constitutional language. Although he has a very low level of exposure, within the former Congress he is recognized as the great cog behind the Republican machine. Those who know him point to him as the mastermind behind the most controversial amendments advanced over the weekend by Luis Silva. At zero hours on Monday the term for the Constitutional Councilors to introduce amendments to the preliminary draft prepared by the Expert Commission ended and during the weekend the councilor Luis Silva, better known as "Professor Silva", advanced a series of proposals that already They have been the focus of criticism from the ruling party. Among them are establishing a rank lower than that of the Constitution to international treaties, the amendment that could end abortion on three grounds, and suppressing output parity, to name a few. Inside the former Congress, it is known that the Republican Party is making great efforts to successfully circumvent this constituent process and to leave its mark, but what is not very publicly known is who is behind it. It is the head of his advisors, the lawyer Jorge Barrera Rojas, a former Republican militant who oversees the work of that party's advisors. On Monday morning, Silva admitted that there were still "open spaces" to negotiate with Chile Vamos the amendments that were going to be entered. Regarding this, he warned that, despite the fact that the discussion on the amendments was not completely closed, rather "liquid", he said, "none of them will be a surprise for the board". This responds to a work of accompaniment of the republican directive towards the advisers, but also to the trust placed in Barrera. Given this, Silva, the Opus Dei numerary who swept the May 7 elections, acknowledged that Barrera's role is "very active." In particular, he said that he fulfills the role of "coordination between the will of the councilors, who represent the citizens, and the amendments that are going to be discussed to see if they eventually remain in the project." Silva values Barrera's work and believes that he "has had a very active and certainly very important role in the second line to convert the will of the councilors into a text that can be transformed into an amendment." https://www.elmostrador.cl/noticias/pais/2023/07/18/jorge-barrera-el-discreto-arquitecto-de-la-arremetida-ultraconservadora-en-consejo-constitucional/

The San Antonio Guarantee Court decreed this Wednesday the precautionary measure of preventive detention for Abraham Enrique Rojas Basualto and Enrique Alberto Cubillos Varas, accused as perpetrators of the consummated crimes of animal abuse, clandestine slaughterhouses and receipt of motorized vehicles. These crimes were exposed on Tuesday in the Cartagena commune, when personnel from the Second Police Station of that town disrupted a clandestine slaughterhouse that operated in a takeover in the San Sebastián sector. In the place there were more than 30 specimens of horses, pigs, cows and llamas in deplorable health conditions. In the formalization hearing, Judge Felipe Contreras ordered the admission of the detainees to the San Antonio Penitentiary Compliance Center (CCP), considering their freedoms a danger to the security of society. "According to the records that he manages and that are still under investigation by the Public Ministry of San Antonio, the defendants were found in a building where various animal species were found in a deplorable state of health. Also, in the same building, they They found parts of deceased animals and, likewise, tools from a slaughterhouse that, in this case, did not have the respective authorizations," said the magistrate. He added that "a motor vehicle that had a charge for theft" was also found. Prosecutor Francisco Martínez had requested preventive detention for both defendants "in view of the diversity of crimes for which the investigation has been formalized and also a possible flight risk." DEFENSE ALLEGES INNOCENCE OF THE ACCUSED AND POINTS TO A MARRIAGE AS THE TRUE RESPONSIBLE From the defense of those arrested, the lawyer Hernán Solís asserted that his clients, at the moment of being surprised by the Carabineros, "were working, at that moment, making a construction wall", ruling out their participation in the crimes. "The same neighbors, in different media, pointed out that the people who were in charge of the property and who transported the animals, who brought them in, who took them out, who fed them, were a married couple. In addition, they pointed out that this marriage constantly came and went, which is probably from Santiago". "A neighbor who adjoins said that he knew them, that it is a couple and he does not know these people," the lawyer continued. Finally, the judge set the investigation period for the case at 80 days. https://www.cooperativa.cl/noticias/pais/region-de-valparaiso/a-la-carcel-dos-imputados-por-matadero-clandestino-y-receptacion-de-un/2023-06-22/011647.html

Towards the end of 2022 we learned that the Ford F-150, a pick-up whose current generation dates from 2020, is close to being renewed. At that time, we met photos taken of test units, whose thick camouflage prevented us from seeing the changes that the best-selling pick-up in the world will have. For the past month, it's been an F-150 Raptor that's been on display, except that it's been a little more stripped down. Now, US media released images of another F-150, closer to the base version and also without any camouflage, which allows us to clearly appreciate the modifications that the pick-up will receive. Ford F-150 2024: This is how it will be renewed From Ford Authority they revealed photos taken in tests that the "Oval" is carrying out in some city in the United States. Although the unit belongs to the Platinum version, comparing it with what was seen days ago in the F-150 Raptor gives us an idea of the variants that the entire range of the full-size truck will have. Specifically, the novelties that are repeated are located in the optical group: the front receives modifications in the "L" of LED, which becomes divided, and whose vertical bar is now quite straight; the rear adopts a design similar to that of the F-150 Lightning, losing the “C” that bordered it. Specifically, the version adds the name of the variant to the tip of the hood, renews the grille framework, adds smaller auxiliary and LED lights to the front bumper, and incorporates the word "F- 150" on center. We will have to wait to find out if the brand will make the same changes to the rest of the range. 2024 Ford F-150: What else is known? In addition to the exterior changes, the facelift of the F-150 is expected to include new features inside. For example, it would adopt a multimedia screen in vertical format, such as the aforementioned F-150 Lightning already has, from which a new system provided by Google would be activated. For now there is no official confirmation about the unveiling of this update, although it is expected to be presented during this second semester as a 2024 model. https://noticias.autocosmos.cl/2023/07/17/asi-se-vera-la-nueva-ford-f-150-modelo-2024

The Porto Alegre club reported that Mano Menezes left the team. The Argentine coach is the main candidate to replace him. The first leg of the round of 16 of the Cup will be on August 1 at the Monumental. Bombshell at Inter de Porto Alegre: Mano Menezes stopped being the team's technical director, shortly after facing River for the round of 16 of the Copa Libertadores (the key will start on August 1 at the Monumental). Eduardo Coudet, who already led the team in 2020, is the main candidate to replace him. In a brief official statement, the Brazilian institution reported the departure of the experienced coach, in addition to that of his assistant, Sidnei Lobo. "The club thanks the professionals for the dedication, commitment and work carried out during this cycle, wishing them luck and success in the future of their careers," they said. Mano Menezes took over as coach of Inter Porto Alegre in April 2022. In the current season, he is 11th in the Brasileirao, far from Botafogo, the leader. In his last three appearances, he has drawn two games and lost one, against Fluminense. Yesterday, they equalized 0-0 against Palmeiras at home, in their last game as DT. Inter entered the round of 16 of the Copa Libertadores as the leader of Group B, with 12 points, above Nacional, Independiente Medellín and Metropolitanos. Now, shortly after the duel against River, the team was left without a coach. Coudet, the main candidate for Inter Eduardo Coudet, who left Atlético Mineiro a month ago, is the main candidate to replace Mano Menezes at Inter Porto Alegre. El Chacho already led the Porto Alegre team in 2020, before leaving for Celta de Vigo in Spain. In the event of his return, Coudet would meet River again in the round of 16 of the Copa Libertadores: he already collided with the Millionaire in that instance when he led Racing, in 2018. At that time, Marcelo Gallardo's team went from round with an aggregate of 3-0 in favor. When will River and Inter face each other for Libertadores? River and Inter de Porto Alegre will meet at the Monumental, on August 1 at 9:00 p.m., for the first leg of the Copa Libertadores round of 16. The rematch will be played a week later, on the 8th, at the Beira-Rio stadium. https://www.tycsports.com/copa-libertadores/bombazo-en-inter-se-quedo-sin-dt-a-poco-de-enfrentarse-a-river-por-libertadores-id524023.html

Roberto Arriagada was a young PDI officer on September 11, 1973. In less than two months he had to be detained on Quiriquina Island, experience the death of a colleague of his centimeters away, and then, together with another detective, meet a peculiar detainee, with whom there were high school classmates in Los Angeles. It was the writer Roberto Bolaño, whom they helped during the period in which he was detained at the barracks where they worked. It was the night of September 29, 1973 when the then young detective Roberto Arriagada, 20 years old at the time and assigned to the Homicide Brigade of the Investigative Police (PDI) of Concepción, received the instruction to be part of a group that he would go to Vilumilla street, in that city, in order to arrest an alleged left-wing extremist. Together with a group of detectives almost as beardless as him, Arriagada took a submachine gun from the locker, but another officer, Hernán Bustos (who was only a little older than him) told him to pass it on, because according to the regulations that was what was required. . "Pass the submachine gun, kid boy," he ordered, slinging the gun over his shoulder. Investigative Police officials arrived at the address where they had been sent. Some entered to the second floor and four others, including Arriagada and Bustos, remained sheltering below, in a corner. Out of the corner of his eye, the first saw that a soldier was looming on the other side, something very dangerous in times of curfew and easy and nervous triggers. Given this, they quickly identified themselves and the soldier greeted them, but only seconds later a shot fired by another uniformed officer (a lieutenant, who arrived behind the first) killed Bustos, who was next to him. "We're stupid policemen, don't shoot!" Do not shoot! shouted Arriagada, convinced that one of the shots had hit him. However, although he didn't know it at the time, he was unharmed. It was only the impression, although he experienced it as if it were real, as if the shots had pierced his flesh as well. —I felt the impacts. He was trying to catch my colleague and he fell. I ran and got behind a military jeep. The lieutenant put the gun to my head and I put the revolver in his stomach,” he recounts, explaining the strange position in which both of them were left. He takes a sip of his milk tea and adds a reflection that shakes him to this day: "Perhaps, if Bustos hadn't asked me for the machine gun, he would have touched me," says Roberto Arriagada, sitting in his cousin's restaurant, overlooking Salto del Laja. It was the second time in 15 days in 1973 that Arriagada saw death face to face. The early morning of September 11, he remembers, he was on patrol until late. The previous night there had been a series of attacks with Molotov cocktails in Concepción and that is why at dawn on the 11th I was with other detectives in the vicinity of the University of Concepción, when they all heard a roar and saw how a car burst into flames. at the same time that another mobile left starting from the sector. After a brief chase, they intercepted the second car and arrested its occupants, whom they suspected might be involved in the fire. When they were handcuffing them, however, something unusual happened: at about 2 in the morning he observed two trucks full of soldiers moving silently down Chacabuco Avenue. The occupants of both trucks stared at them, while Arriagada and the other detectives pointed their weapons at the suspects. https://www.elmostrador.cl/noticias/pais/2023/07/18/1973-el-dia-que-dos-detectives-salvaron-a-roberto-bolano/

Let's not put hot cloths: Electronic Arts in recent years has passed over the Nintendo Switch users, tormented by sending versions of FIFA to which worse. Overall, it was one of the best-known and most successful franchises in the world, so it didn't matter what they put inside. It was certain that they were going to sell like hotcakes. But now, what has changed? Well, it has changed that FIFA will not come out again, that the new franchise is called FC and that EA Sports is playing the quarterfinals, so – they will have thought – we have to wink at potential buyers so that they do not feel, again , deceived. Hence, within the usual communication policy of the North Americans, the announcement about everything we will have in the Nintendo Switch version has gained so much weight. FC24 on Switch, without complexes The result of this request for forgiveness from EA Sports to the players of the Nintendo hybrid console is nothing more than a title that really looks like what FC24 will have on PlayStation, Xbox or PC. Nobody was asking them to do a miracle and manage to compact everything that the old main versions of FIFA kept in the guts of a Switch, but at least they tried. The result of this attempt to win back the affection of the Switch players has been none other than creating a game in which we will have a FUT mode, that is, the famous Ultimate Team, more than 700 teams from all over the world, both men's soccer as a female –clubs and national teams–, 30 official leagues and of course, 19,000 footballers with those statistics that we like to manage so much to create the perfect team. Within the modes, we will have Player and Manager Career depending on whether we prefer to step on the grass or be the brains of the team's strategy and signings. So yes, it seems that FC24 is going to be a decent game, at the level –it can– of those on PlayStation, Xbox or PC, and proof of this is a button: the installation on our console will take up just over 30 gigabytes. Which is a lot for what is po[CENSORED]r in the AAA news of the machine. We already have a release date. And since this good news does not usually come alone, we have one that you are going to love. And it is that FC24 already has a release date. It will be on September 29 when we will have in stores what is one of the most dangerous deliveries for EA Sports, because we will really know if bearing the name of FIFA on the cover weighs or not in the face of million-dollar sales and income you have had so far. We imagine that it will not be an inconvenience and that FC24 is already perceived as the natural successor to FIFA 23, but believe us when we tell you that this, which seems obvious to all of us, is surely not clear to a niche of fans who are into video games. they're a bit disconnected and only reactivate when they want to buy a new edition of their favorite game. https://hardzone.es/noticias/juegos/ea-sports-pide-perdon-switch-fc24/

Today we learned that the new graphics cards from NVIDIA, the RTX 4060 Dual and Palit StormX would have PCIe x8 connectors without dummy connectors. Something strange both in this brand and in general, which we are going to analyze. It would be the first time that we see it in the Nvidia X60 series, we don't know how it will work for them and if it will finally be the only one that will carry it or they will continue betting on this connector in the future. PCIe x8 connector Most RTX 4060 series products come with full-size 16x PCIe connectors, even though they only have eight functional pins. Actually, half of the PCIe x16 slots on the RTX 4060 series graphics cards are dead lanes, making the graphics card appear to have a full PCIe x16 connection even though it doesn't. Larger PCIe connectors may be thought to offer greater stability for graphics cards and prevent drops. However, these needlessly enlarged PCIe slots are likely simply serving the RTX 4060 series graphics cards to give it a more premium look. Palit, with its StormX and Dual products, has become the only company to release graphics cards that have real PCIe 8x slots without dummy lanes. This allows these GPUs to be used with true 8x PCIe lanes on motherboards, something that is not possible with graphics cards masquerading as full PCIe x16 slots. Here we can see a real image of her uploaded by a user on the Twitter social network. It's true that most graphics card users will put their GPUs in full 16x PCIe slots. However, it is positive to see that Palit has released a product that offers greater versatility compared to most other RTX 4060 GPUs available on the market. This feature could be especially useful for those who are upgrading a pre-built PC or have an unusual hardware setup. I'm sure there are people interested in getting an RTX 4060 with a "real" PCI x8 connection, and if you're one of them, Palit has products that might interest you. I hope others copy this system and they are not the only GPUs that we see like this. For now we already have them available for purchase on the web as coolmod, so if you are interested in a type of card with this connection, you can already buy it and try it. We will see how the bet on the Palit company turns out and if this is the beginning of a new, more real and authentic connection system or if it remains a failure and they have to return to the “fictional” PCIe 16x. Tell us what you think and how you see this move by the company. The competition is so much at the moment that any change can tip the balance, and they know it, that's why these types of tests sometimes go well and others come to nothing. We at least have to comment on them and see what the general public thinks. https://hardzone.es/noticias/tarjetas-graficas/nvidia-conector-pcie-x8/

The change in President Boric's story, which went from criticizing the 30 years of the Concertación in power to praising it, generated objections among prominent leaders who created the conglomerate of political parties that recovered democracy after the 1988 plebiscite. Sergio Bitar stated that It was a very bold turn and Boric showed that "it didn't matter if you took a U-turn." In the PS they regretted that despite his words, the Broad Front continues to criticize the Concertación. And in the PC they said that his sayings "are a somersault and a shame." After the President of the Republic Gabriel Boric affirmed during his tour in Spain that in the last 30 years, since the return of democracy, we are a country that has reduced poverty and strengthened its institutions and highlighted that the private sector has a capacity for innovation that exceeds that of the State, founders of the Concertación and leaders of the Communist Party criticized the change of position of the president. The former minister of the governments of Salvador Allende, Ricardo Lagos and Michelle Bachelet, and founder of the Concertación of parties for democracy, Sergio Bitar was strongly surprised by the shift in Boric's weighting. “It is a very bold turn, to understand reality and seek the paths of social democracy coming from far-reaching extreme verbal positions. The impression remains that we are forgetful, that there is no trajectory, that there is no historical continuity, that you can make a U-turn and it doesn't matter," Bitar repaired about Boric's sayings in conversation with El Mostrador. And he added: "It is better that it happen, that it be done in a clear and transparent way, that a more realistic path be sought, for the good of Chile, than that this recognition does not happen and other leaders remain locked in their illusionism and rigidity." ideology that does not allow changes. What is important, looking at the long term, is that the formation of a force capable of confronting the right and the extreme right in particular today, requires a conceptual, historical and value consistency and a coherence that I see today. weakened enough to be able to raise a force capable of facing the challenges of Chile in the next 10 years”. For his part, the former senator and former president for three terms of the socialist party Ricardo Núñez pointed out that the President's change of opinion about "going from 30 bad years to the best 30 years is valuable." “I expected no less from someone who has such a fundamental historical responsibility as being president. Unfortunately there are still sectors —even very close to his own party— who still think that the thirty years were a permanent set of mistakes made by the Concertación. Yes, mistakes were made, without a doubt. But as he himself says, they were the most important years in the political and economic history of our country. For the moment, I am very happy, not only for him, but also because the historical truth that some claimed to ignore is slowly being restored. I value the change of opinion of the President”, indicated the historical member of the socialist party Ricardo Núñez to El Mostrador. https://www.elmostrador.cl/noticias/pais/2023/07/15/creadores-de-la-concertacion-y-el-pc-cuestionaron-dichos-de-boric-sobre-el-exito-de-los-30-anos/

A serious complaint of animal abuse was made by students from the University of Alba, La Serena campus, regarding the alleged euthanasia of two dogs that lived on the premises of the educational establishment. The students began demonstrations after learning that "Llorón" and "El Negri", two community dogs, were sacrificed to be used in practical classes for the Veterinary Medicine degree. According to the students themselves, both dogs disappeared on Saturday, May 20, and days later they were recognized by young people who worked with "donated bodies." Antonia Jeraldo, director of Food at Animalba, the organization in charge of the dogs at the University of Alba (former Pedro de Valdivia University), explained that, after the disappearance of both dogs, they were investigating what happened and, "according to rumors that have reached us, These dogs are supposed to be inside the laboratory and they have not let us in to corroborate the fact." "The bodies that are donated for science, within the establishment, do not have a protocol in which they tell us which clinic they come from, but they call to say that they have animals and do not have more information about their origin," added Jeraldo. WHAT DOES THE UNIVERSITY SAY? Through a public statement, the house of studies said it rejected all kinds of animal abuse and announced "an internal investigation to determine the responsibilities that fall to all people in these events that are reported, whether they are officials, students, teachers or third parties. inclusive". The note adds that the University "will proceed to deliver all the respective information to the Public Prosecutor's Office, in order to clarify the facts, and will present" a complaint and criminal complaint for these acts, (directed) against those who are responsible. Prosecutor Marcial Pérez arrived at the premises of the University of Alba, who ordered the attendance of the PDI to investigate the facts. https://www.cooperativa.cl/noticias/pais/educacion/universidades/universitarios-acusan-que-perros-comunitarios-fueron-sacrificados-y/2023-05-25/173549.html
