Microsoft barely makes a profit from Windows licenses and they were looking for ideas for additional revenue. To do this, they copied the practices of Google or Facebook, of snooping on what the user is doing. This did not please the People's Republic of China, which forced to guarantee the privacy of users who will use Windows 10. The history of Windows 10 China Goverment Edition is one of the craziest you can find. We all know that China is not very given to people's privacy. In addition, the country restricts access to the internet, limiting the websites that people can access. This is the Chinese version of Windows 10 It is well known how the great technological companies seek to obtain benefits even from stones. What gives more profit is the collection of user data, their search patterns that are tagged by gender, age, region, ethnicity, etc. And Microsoft is no exception. Windows 10 implements an item called snoopware, which is nothing more than tracking software. You can see this in the news system in the Windows start menu or in the weather function that integrates the operating system, which tells you if it's raining, sunny or the temperature in your area. Through this strategy, which is nothing far from that used by Google, Facebook, Amazon or others, they obtain data from the users that they later sell. Personal data, such as name, exact address or similar, are not collected, they are more general data, but, even so, attentive to privacy. China has a major trade war with the United States, which is the origin of Microsoft. To prevent the leakage of this data, the Chinese government launched an ordeal at Microsoft. Basically, either they ensure privacy and don't collect any data or they lose that market. This meant losing its presence in government infrastructure and in companies owned by the government. We are talking about losses of hundreds, if not billions of dollars and a brutal loss of value of the company. Faced with this threat, Microsoft agreed to remove its snoopware from Windows 10, but only for China. This is the origin of Windows 10 China Goverment Edition, Microsoft's most private operating system. Really, except for the elimination of this kind of "tracker", there are no notable differences. The only thing is that the operating system is only in Mandarin, which is the most widely spoken language in China and no other language can be installed. This serves as a firewall to prevent anyone from outside of China from using it. Maybe the EU should learn something Surely, you have read countless times that this or another technology company has received a fine. Microsoft or Google have suffered a few, which are rarely executed. Normally these sanctions take, in the first instance 4-5 years to come out, then they are appealed and the ball rolls. Thus, a decade or more can pass without the fine being effective. The funny thing is that, while these sanctions are being discussed, they are given subsidies in another way. In the end, these fines, if they end up being executed, come out of the money in subsidies received. What's more, if we did the sum of the sanction and the subsidies, it would come out that the company has earned more money than it has to pay. China is not an example for many things, but the ordeal has worked great for them. https://hardzone.es/noticias/equipos/privacidad-sistema-operativo-windows-10-china-edition/

The United States Congress approved this Friday the budget for fiscal year 2023, which in its spending package of 1.7 trillion dollars includes 45,000 million in aid to Ukraine. The House of Representatives gave its approval to that bill by 225 votes in favor and 201 against, one day after the Senate, also with a Democratic majority, had validated it by 68 votes in favor and 29 against. The two chambers had approved, just in case, a parallel resolution that extended the current budgets for another week, until December 30, to guarantee that the federal Administration remains open while the new ones are promulgated. The urgency was double: this Friday at midnight the funds for the operation of the Administration expired. In addition, if the discussion was extended, the winter storm that hits the center and the north of the country threatened to leave congressmen stranded in Washington on Christmas Eve. More than half of legislators voted remotely. In less than two weeks, on January 3, the Republicans will assume control of the Lower House after the Democrats lost it in the November legislative elections, for which reason the latter wanted to leave the budget closed. The President of the United States, Joe Biden, must sign it now for it to take effect and he said that he will do so as soon as it arrives at his table. "The bipartisan bill advances key priorities for our country and caps a year of historic bipartisan progress for the American people. It's good for our economy, our competitiveness and our communities," he said in a statement. That budget for fiscal year 2023, which runs from October 1, 2022 to September 30, contemplates a defense item valued at some 858,000 million dollars and another 800,000 million for other items, the latter an increase of 9, 3% compared to the previous year. It also covers $40.6 billion to address droughts, hurricanes, floods, fires, and other natural disasters and emergencies in the United States and about $45 billion in economic, humanitarian, and security aid for Ukraine. Ukrainian President Volodimir Zelensky, who visited Washington on Wednesday to meet with Biden, defended that day in Congress that money for his country is not charity: "It is an investment in global security and democracy." "As you have made clear to us, your country will need our continued support to end this war, which must come through a strategic defeat of (Russian President) Vladimir Putin, one of the greatest war criminals in world history. "said today the leader of the Democratic majority in the Lower House, Steny Hoyer. The bill came to that chamber after the debate in the Senate was hampered by two amendments on the management of the border with Mexico that were rejected. The regulations do include a reform to provide greater guarantees to the electoral count, by clarifying that the vice president does not have the power to revoke the results of the presidential elections. That change comes on the eve of the second anniversary of the January 6, 2021 assault on the Capitol, while Joe Biden's victory over Donald Trump was being certified in November 2020, and when the legislative committee investigating those events has targeted the former Republican President as the person most responsible for what happened. "It will guarantee that this shameful attack on our democracy will not be repeated," Hoyer said, celebrating that he made it clear that the role of the vice president does not have the power to revoke those results, despite what Trump claimed in 2021 by putting pressure on his then "number two" , Mike Pence, to reject them. For the current leader of the Republican minority in the Lower House, Kevin McCarthy, who is emerging as its president in January, however, everything was criticism of that budget: "Inflation, the economy and the government will worsen," he said, regretting that they have not been given sufficient time to go through its nearly 4,100 pages. https://www.emol.com/noticias/Internacional/2022/12/23/1081972/eeuu-aprueba-presupuesto-ayuda-ucrania.html

The remains of the last Tasmanian tiger, the only predatory marsupial in Australia that became extinct in 1936, were found in a museum closet, 85 years after they were declared missing, institutional sources from the oceanic country reported Monday. The last known specimen of the thylacine or Tasmanian tiger (Thylacinus cynocephalus) died in captivity on September 7, 1936 at the zoo in the Australian city of Hobart and, later, its remains were delivered to the Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery (TMAG). This specimen, an elderly female, was captured by a hunter in the Florentine Valley on the island of Tasmania, in South Australia, and sold to the Hobart Zoo, the capital of this region, in May 1936. "During years, many conservators and museum researchers searched for his remains without success, as no thylacine material dating to 1936 had been recorded in the zoological collection, so it was assumed that his body had been discarded," said researcher Robert Paddle in a TMAG statement. Paddle and Kathryn Medlock, who will publish their find this week in the Australian Zoologist journal, discovered that the Tasmanian tiger remains did arrive at TMAG in 1936 - although their arrival was not properly recorded by the museum's taxidermists - thanks to a key document that allowed tracking the remains of the animal. The researchers also discovered that the remains of this extinct specimen (the flayed skin and the skeleton) were used for traveling exhibitions and that is why they were kept in a closet in the educational section of the museum. "The skin was carefully tanned into a flat hide by the museum's taxidermist, William Cunningham, allowing it to be easily transported and used as a demonstration specimen for school classes on Tasmanian marsupials," said Medlock, a curator in the department of vertebrate zoology at the museum. TMAG. The thylacine, a marsupial with stripes across its back reminiscent of a tiger, once lived on mainland Australia and the island of New Guinea, although it disappeared from those places about 3,000 years ago due to climate change. The island of Tasmania was the only place where the species survived, but its extinction accelerated with the arrival of Europeans in Oceania in the 18th century, who launched an intense hunting campaign between 1830 and 1909, encouraged by bounties to end with this predator that ate cattle. Although Tasmanian tigers went extinct 85 years ago when the last one died at Hobart Zoo, the species was only officially declared extinct in the 1980s. https://www.emol.com/noticias/Tecnologia/2022/12/05/1080218/restos-ultimo-tigre-tasmania-museo.html

That General Motors is carrying out an important development plan for electric vehicles, there is no doubt. Led by the Ultium platform announced at the beginning of 2020 and to be used in models such as the GMC Hummer EV and the Chevrolet Silverado EV, the advance of the American automaker in battery-powered vehicles seems to be endless. And the hybrids? Well, a few days ago we told you that the new Chevrolet Corvette E-Ray hybrid is about to be unveiled, but the reality is that, beyond the sports car, in recent times there has been no news linking the GM brands with the hybrid world. . Until now. At General Motors, no hybrids It turns out that, in the last few hours, from the leadership of GM they made it very clear the direction they will take. According to what was pointed out to the US media by Mark Reuss, president of the company, it will not get involved in hybrids (whatever their type) as a previous step to electric models. Speaking of the European market, Reuss criticized those brands that decide to participate in the hybrid world, and pointed out that GM will not lose part of its investment in electric mobility in this type of drive system. In addition, he pointed out that they expect their movements in the field of electric vehicles to be profitable from 2025, the year by which the company will have already unveiled to the world (according to its plan) several battery-powered models. General Motors and electric mobility The presentation of the vehicles mentioned at the beginning of the note are only part of the models that General Motors announced in 2021, when it unveiled its electric proposal. On the other hand, it currently owns two Ultium battery factories and is building a third, while it has also reached an agreement with Honda to produce low-cost electric vehicles, a link of which the Honda Prologue is the first fruit. Regarding our region, in the middle of this year Chevrolet announced the arrival of three electric models: Bolt EUV, Equinox EV and Blazer EV. In theory, the Bolt would begin to be sold in various markets throughout 2023, while the brand did not provide arrival details of the other vehicles. https://noticias.autocosmos.cl/2022/12/23/general-motors-no-producira-modelos-hibridos-de-ningun-tipo

A little more than eight months after the session of the Environmental Evaluation Commission (Coeva) of the Metropolitan Region that rejected the initiative and stopped its construction, this week new information on the vote was revealed that revealed coordination between the seremis and the presidential delegate, Constanza Martínez. And it is that despite the fact that the Environmental Evaluation Service (SEA) had recommended to the instance to approve the real estate project, Coeva rejected the investment of US$300 million by the majority of its members. Specifically, messages were released that appear in a complaint before the Comptroller's Office, made on December 16, by the former metropolitan Social Development semi-seremi, Patricia Hidalgo, who accused that the reasons for her departure responded to reprisals against her for political issues and pressure from delegate Martínez. In his request, Hidalgo attached a copy of the conversation of a WhatsApp group, called the "Environmental Commission" created by Martínez's chief of staff, Miguel Concha, on April 4, 2022, which reveals the organization that led to the the result: 5 votes against and only 2 in favor of the project, which corresponded to the SEA and the housing seremi. Faced with this, from Fundamenta they indicated that they are studying filing legal actions and hope that this will help the Supreme Court legitimize the adherence to law of the initiative, whose construction began three years ago and for which US$100 million of the budget has already been disbursed. total. The president of the Chilean Chamber of Construction (CChC), Juan Armando Vicuña, affirmed that "this situation revealed by the press shows how a political ideology was used to stop a project that has complied with all the regulations required by law Without technical arguments, a group of newly appointed public officials delivered an unsubstantiated resolution that, among other things, left 1,500 workers unemployed." Vicuña added that "I would like to believe that this sort of collusion by the SEREMIs is an isolated event. For this reason, it is important that it be investigated, and if warranted, punished." In this line, experts affirm that events like this damage environmental institutions. This was stated by Pablo Badenier, former Minister of the Environment of the second government of Michelle Bachelet, commenting to El Mercurio that "arguments and debate must take place in the commission, for that there is the Evaluation Commission, and not in instances prior to via whatsapp". He added that there are "serious faults that are undermining the government's ability to make decisions in cases that are unapologetic and in which the correct decision is not the most po[CENSORED]r." While Gabriel Muñoz, a lawyer specializing in socio-environmental issues, told the same outlet that "what we have apparently seen in recent times regarding this project is a sum of undue pressure, lobbying and influence peddling, which are far from the minimum transparency and due process that is required. Proposals For Vicuña "it is essential to prosecute this type of decision in technical specialists, with knowledge of the issues being evaluated. It is the only way to avoid arbitrary decisions that weaken the institutional framework and lead us to corruption." Likewise, Muñoz stressed that it is necessary to "propose a transparent and technical process, which includes an active role for the community." It should be remembered that in mid-November, the SEA partially accepted the claim filed by Fundamenta, at the end of last year, which sought to revive Egaña Comunidad Sustentable, so the real estate company has the green light to restart construction. What yes, the determination of the environmental authority made it possible for opponents to go to the Environmental Court of Santiago within 30 business days. https://www.emol.com/noticias/Economia/2022/12/23/1081969/polemica-whatsapp-proyecto-plaza-egana.html

The most used operating system in the world is that of Microsoft, due to its simplicity of use. Behind this "standardization" for its usability, certain practices are hidden, which we are going to say, perhaps are unethical. The most obvious are performance issues when there is a pending Windows 10 update already downloaded. Updates, whether drivers or operating system are important. Certainly, making an update as soon as it is available is not a good idea. We have seen on countless occasions how certain performance problems appear after an update. We have seen how a Windows 10 update caused Bluetooth to malfunction or stop working. This is how Microsoft forces you to update Windows 10 Periodically, updates are released for the operating system from Microsoft that add different elements. Normally, what are transmitted are performance improvements or benefits, but there is more behind it. The vast majority of updates (or all) include vulnerability fixes. Updating is important, but it's not always critical. We must know, first of all, that these vulnerability fixes do not always affect all users. Typically, these security fixes are more relevant to businesses than users. But, we must have the updates up to date, not install them in the same day. It has happened to me many times that, when an update is downloaded and ready to install, the system malfunctions. It's not at first, but when it takes 3-4 days to install and you don't, weird things happen. Above all, it shows in Bluetooth and the internet, at first. Then other system performance problems appear, which are also obvious. This is something that, surely you have noticed, recently with the Windows 22H2 update. Microsoft, twice a year releases a huge update package that adds improvements. But, it also usually generates problems once it is updated. Something that is usually recommended is to wait a while before making an update, while Microsoft wants you to update as soon as possible. As a tool to pressure you to update, Microsoft has only one option: to cause performance problems. In the end, when faced with performance problems, you will end up updating, whether you want to or not. A rather unfortunate practice, since in the end, you should have the right to decide when to upgrade the equipment and be sure that you will not have more damage than benefits. Increasingly poor quality updates Some time ago we learned about the changes made by the company with the updates. Now it has gone to a system called Insiders, which allows users to verify updates. The problem is that Microsoft hardly pays attention to the reports. There are innumerable reported problems that have been constantly ignored by the company. One of the big problems with all this is that Microsoft lacks competition. The reality is that Linux, in its different distributions, does not pose a threat. Although there are distributions that are easy to use, it is far from being mainstream. It would take something similar to Android for PC, which, although it exists under the name of Chrome OS, is not a rival to Microsoft's operating system. https://hardzone.es/noticias/equipos/problemas-rendimiento-antes-actualizar-windows-10/

Consolidated computers are not a novelty devised by Valve and materialized in Steam Deck. The Gabe Newell model has served to mainstream a segment that had been showing signs of having a very good future for a long time, so its real merit has been to democratize that sector with powerful hardware and a very reasonable price. Remember that other alternatives were close to 1,000 euros... is this the case of the new OneXPlayer 2? Nintendo Switch, the example to follow So after the million units sold by Steam Deck, some brands that already had consolidated PC models have decided to strengthen their offer and one of the most interesting has been this OneXPlayer 2 that has just been announced and that boasts a hardware much more powerful than the Valve machine. Not just in raw power, but also in display specs and gaming options. The first thing that stands out about this model is that it acquires a feature that has made Switch great: its versatility. Not only will we be able to carry it armed with the controls on both sides of the screen, but we will be able to unhook them from the OneXPlayer 2 to connect them to an adapter that will act as an external gamepad for the system. In an identical way to how the OLED and original models of the Nintendo console do. This feature gives the set a huge number of possibilities, especially for multiplayer games within the same machine, since it could be possible to enjoy matches with FIFA 23 -for example- with a friend without having to have another connected machine. More power and more hardware than Steam Deck? But apart from that feature that they have added to this consolidated PC, if we look at its technical specifications we realize that they represent a before and after compared to Steam Deck, since it increases the size of the screen to 8.4 inches and it raises the resolution beyond the 720p of Valve's machine. This OneXPlayer 2 dares with an IPS panel of 2,560 × 1,600 pixels. A real past. The processor of this console is an AMD Ryzen 7 6800U, with a Radeon 680M graphics, 16 or 32GB of RAM with options of 512GB and 1 or 2TB of SSD storage. Obviously it has Wifi 6, Bluetooth 5, support for microSD cards, Harman speakers and you can buy it in both white and black. Of course, the manufacturer has not given battery autonomy data beyond reminding us that we can obtain a 50% charge with just 40 minutes connected to the current. Right now this OneXPlayer 2 is in the pre-sale phase –through Indiegogo– and it will be from December 20 when we can order ours in any of the available configurations. Of course, the delivery dates are scheduled for the month of April 2023, which will be when the first units begin to reach all their buyers. And regarding the price, it is speculated that the base model will touch 900 euros and, from there, all the others will climb. So yes, we have more power than with the Steam Deck but at a significantly higher price. Is that good or bad? https://hardzone.es/noticias/equipos/onexplayer-2-modo-juego-nintendo-switch/

Former President Sebastián Piñera described the current government's decision to open a Chilean embassy in Palestine as a "step forward". The announcement was made yesterday by President Gabriel Boric, during a Christmas ceremony held at the Palestinian Club in the Las Condes commune. In this regard, Piñera highlighted the announcement by the head of state and recalled the progress made during his administration in favor of the Palestinian people. "We in our government had to establish the Chilean embassy in Palestine through a visiting ambassador. And now President Boric has announced the opening of an embassy. It is a step forward," said the former president after participating in a session of the Future Challenges commission. As he said, "Chile has a very clear policy: it recognizes and respects the right of the Palestinian people and the Israeli people to live in a sovereign, autonomous state, in peace, with freedom and safe borders. And that is the policy that Chile has always Following". "Chile recognized both states a long time ago. I remember that one of the first actions of our first government, and we discussed this with the president of Palestine, Mahmud Abás, was to recognize the right of Palestine to be an observer state in the United Nations United States and we support him in that. I visited Palestine twice and I believe that Palestine and the Palestinian people, like the Israeli people, have the right to a free, sovereign, autonomous state, with known and secure borders," he added. Role of former presidents in the new Constitution On the other hand, Piñera was open to collaborating in the new constitutional process both with the commission of experts and with the constitutional council. "I think that the former presidents of the Republic who had to govern Chile have accumulated very valuable experience, and also, since the former presidents have good relations with each other, because they respect each other, they consult each other. As president, I always consulted the former presidents, they have I think it would be very valuable for presidents or former presidents to give an opinion on constitutional reform, on how to deal with major problems such as drought, climate change or the modernization of the State, and I'm sure that all the former presidents of Chile are going to be willing to collaborate," he said. In his opinion, "the former presidents have a lot to contribute and therefore it would seem very good to me that the council of experts or the constitutional commission invite the presidents and learn about their proposals, their ideas." Along with this, he called for "not repeating" the mistakes made by the Convention in the previous process. "I hope that this agreement by Chile, which will allow us a second chance after the very bad project presented by the Constitutional Convention, will allow us to have a new social pact, a new agreement that gives us stability and tranquility, that we all respect it and we feel respected," he emphasized. https://www.emol.com/noticias/Nacional/2022/12/22/1081863/pinera-embajada-palestina-paso-adelante.html

Data from the Subsecretariat for Regional and Administrative Development (Subdere) showed that to date there are 2,036,224 animals officially registered in the National Pet Registry. There are 1,548,857 dogs and 487,367 legally registered cats throughout the country, with the Metropolitan Region having the highest concentration of both species. A study by the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine of the Catholic University and the Subdere estimated that in Chile there are more than 12 million dogs and cats with owners and 4 million without them, reported El Mercurio. Among the total number of dogs, there are more than 24,000 classified as potentially dangerous (PPP) that represent 1.22% of the global registry, the highest proportion since its implementation; of them, there are around 6 thousand in the capital and 3.4 thousand in the Valparaíso Region. As for cats, in all regions their presence is less than that of dogs. POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS BREEDS Despite the fact that the Law for the Responsible Ownership of Pets and Companion Animals establishes Bullmastiffs as potentially dangerous dog breeds; Dobermans; Argentine Dogo; Brazilian Row; Canary Dam; Mallorquin Dam; Rottweiler and Tosa Inu, different experts affirm that the risk attitude that a dog can present is mainly due to the care of the owners. Fernando Mardones, a veterinarian at the Catholic University, stated that although "there are predisposing breeds", "every animal raised under conditions of well-being, care and understanding will be sociable and docile". "The condition of the dog in its domestication is that it be docile and sociable, but when we do not understand the characteristics of certain breeds, which have a more developed instinct, and we do not understand how this behavior is, clearly we are going to have problems," he specified. . In addition, he stated that "every day we have records of animal bites, with very high rates that vary in different communes of the country," which "has to do with the fact that we often do not understand the behavior of different breeds or animals." According to him, "that requires an additional component" in care. Marcela Pérez de Tudela, representative of the World Small Animal Veterinary Association in Chile (Wsava), pointed out that "the problem is not in the dogs, but in the keepers." This, since "the caretaker has to be responsible if he has an animal that has a potential for aggression." "Dogs can understand 15 consecutive commands, like a one-and-a-half-year-old, but that depends on who guides them. I think it's very important when they have a potentially aggressive dog that the caregiver is responsible with their pet, so don't let's blame the animals," he said. RECOMMEND ADVICE WITH ETHOLOGISTS The experts called for people to seek advice from ethologists, experts focused on animal behavior, the equivalent of psychologists for people if they face a dog with these characteristics. Owners of dogs with these characteristics should "get advice from a professional, an ethologist; in addition to taking it out many times a day, give it the correct diet and not be guided by what is written if it does not have a scientific basis," Pérez de Tudela recommended. https://www.cooperativa.cl/noticias/pais/medioambiente/animales/inscripciones-de-perros-y-gatos-en-el-registro-nacional-de-mascotas/2022-09-16/094212.html

In 2013, the Hennessey Performance workshop unveiled the VelociRaptor, a pick-up made on the basis of a Ford F-150 Raptor, whose most outstanding feature was the power it reached, thanks to the use of a 6.2L V8 engine that reached 411hp. Since then, several Ford models prepared by Hennessey have carried the VelociRaptor name. The latest of these is this VelociRaptor 1000. While it doesn't have six wheels like the 2016 VelociRaptor 6x6, the new work is certainly not going unnoticed, especially for the power: 1000 Hp! Hennessey VelociRaptor 1000: Exterior Before inquiring about the drive system of the brand new creation, let's talk about its external appearance. Hennessey made this new VelociRaptor based on the Ford F-150 Raptor R, released to the world just under six months ago. The Texas native workshop added a series of elements to the pick-up: Redesigned front bumper Tubular protector and strip of LED lights Legend “Hennessey” and “Velociraptor” in front Allusive decals on the sides and tailgate of the cargo box 20'' wheels and 37'' tires Redesigned rear bumper Hennessey VelociRaptor 1000: Engine As for the mechanical part, Hennessey worked on the 5.2L Predator V8 engine and replaced the original mechanical compressor (2.5L) with a larger one (3.8L), among other modifications. Thus, it increased its power, which was 700 Hp and 867 Nm, up to 1,013 Hp and 1,152 Nm of torque, so it improved it by a little more than 40%, approximately. The Hennessey VelociRaptor will begin production in 2023. The North American preparer did not disclose how many units it will manufacture nor its price, although we estimate that it will exceed US$109,145 with which the F-150 Raptor R was launched. https://noticias.autocosmos.cl/2022/12/22/hennessey-velociraptor-1000-la-bestial-pick-up-llega-a-los-mil-caballos

According to information from Onemi, the incident has consumed an approximate area of 15 hectares. The Presidential Delegation of the Valparaíso Region decreed a Red Alert this Thursday for the Viña del Mar commune, due to a forest fire that developed in the vicinity of inhabited sectors. The flames would be affecting the vicinity of the Agua Santa intake sector, in front of the Felipe Camiroaga camp, and are spreading rapidly. Some homes would have already been hit by fire. As a result of this situation, the evacuation of the Puerto Montt, Puerto Aysén, Cabritera, Forestal Alto and Toma Felipe Camiroaga sectors was requested, a procedure carried out through SAE messaging. According to information from the National Emergency Office (Onemi), the incident -called Nueva Esperanza- is in combat and has consumed an approximate area of 15 hectares. "With the declaration of the Red Alert, all the necessary and available resources will be mobilized, in additional support to what has already been deployed by Conaf, Firefighters and the National System for Prevention and Response to Disasters (SINAPRED)", indicated Onemi. "In this way, action will be taken to control the situation, given the extent and severity of the event," he added. The emergency has generated a large cloud of smoke, visible from different parts of the region. The presidential delegate of Valparaíso, Sofía González, explained to CNN Chile that the fire is "very complex" and that it is taking place in "the Nueva Esperanza Sector of the Viña del Mar commune." "Regarding the different projections that both Conaf and Onemi have presented at the regional level, we have declared a Red Alert and it has also been determined to carry out some evacuations, in order to be able to take care of the integrity of the people," she said. He pointed out that "at this moment different services are deployed, different brigades from both the Conaf, the Fire Department of Valparaíso, Viña del Mar, Villa Alemana, some cistern trucks in addition to the municipalities, health teams and other services of the delegation". "The call is to the public, to the neighbors to remain calm and to follow the indications that they may receive from the different organizations that are on the ground. We know that it is a very complex situation, very distressing, but rest assured that this decision has to do with caring for the integrity of people while we attend to the emergency that is in progress," González said. https://www.emol.com/noticias/Nacional/2022/12/22/1081871/alerta-roja-vina-incendio-forestal.html

The specimen was at the Hacienda Cauquenes Wildlife Rehabilitation Center. A Moorish eagle or Los Andes eagle -which was rescued by the SAG, thanks to a notice from a neighbor- returned to its natural habitat after completing its last stage of recovery at the Hacienda Cauquenes Wildlife Rehabilitation Center, a space for service that was created within the framework of the collaboration agreement between the UOH and the El Teniente Division of Codelco-Chile. This, in view of the need for the SAG to have, in the region, a large enclosure that will specialize in the last stages of the process. Where the specimens need to hunt again and exercise their muscles to fly. The coordinator of the agreement, Simón Cox, explained that the freed eagle, after being rescued by SAG personnel, remained for a year and a half in the Safari Park, and then was transferred to the Hacienda Cauquenes Rehabilitation Center, where it lived again. experience of exercising the flight, hunting for food and developing the necessary musculature to return to its natural habitat, as it happened. "This collaboration agreement is already bearing fruit, as is the case today, in which a fourth specimen is released to return to its habitat," said the director of the Institute of Agri-Food, Animal and Environmental Sciences, ICA3, of the UOH , Carolina Reyes. Before they already lived this process, a conón owl and two specimens of owls. https://www.cooperativa.cl/noticias/pais/region-de-ohiggins/tras-rehabilitacion-aguila-fue-liberada-en-precordillera-de-o-higgins/2022-08-23/085321.html

Zagato is an Italian design house widely known for its collaboration on the most beautiful and eye-catching creations in automotive history. And when you work with a brand like Alfa Romeo, the result never disappoints. This is the case with the new Alfa Romeo Giulia SWB Zagato, a coupé of which a single unit has been specifically built for a German customer, but which gives us a glimpse of the design potential of the Zagato and how malleable the Giulia's platform is. The creation of a work of art Zagato says that the project was born to celebrate its 100 years of collaboration with Alfa Romeo, the current generation of Giulia and the V6 engine. The first thing he did was shorten the platform, allowing for a shorter wheelbase and consequently more playful handling. Then, for its design, Zagato borrowed some aesthetic elements from other models of the brand, something that can be seen on the front in the Tonale's own LED optics. Looking at the coupe from the side, we can see that its profile is characterized by a long hood, short tail, and an unpainted carbon fiber double-bubble roof panel. Out back, it's finished off by a slim, curved light bar and oversized air diffuser. The design of the special body was carried out by Zagato with the support of Alejandro Mesonero, director of the Centro Stile Alfa Romeo, and his team of designers. However, all development and production work was carried out entirely by the Zagato with no Alfa Romeo involvement. For this reason, Zagato mentions that the Alfa Romeo badging on the car is "for descriptive and promotional purposes only and Zagato's choice to take inspiration from the Alfa Romeo SZ." The mechanics of emotion Beneath its carbon fiber panels, the Alfa Romeo Giulia SWB Zagato is powered by an evolution of the 2.9-litre twin-turbo V6 engine fitted to the Giulia Quadrifoglio that has been upgraded to GTAm specifications. Performance figures were not released, but the six-cylinder GTAm is worked to develop 540 horsepower and 600 Nm of torque. For purists there is very good news. All the power of this V6 reaches the rear axle through a six-speed manual transmission. This is an important feature that the GTAm lacks, which even as a limited-edition car is offered exclusively with an eight-speed automatic transmission. From inside Inside we can see that the cabin is practically the same as that of the Giulia, since we have the same steering wheel, touch screen, air vents and climate control interface in the same locations, but in this case color accents are present. green and various model-specific carbon fiber trim pieces. But what differs most from the Giulia is that in this case we are talking about a coupe and not a sedan, so inside we only have two seats. The Italian design house did not reveal the cost of this unique Alfa Romeo Giulia SWB Zagato, although considering all the work and exclusivity that goes into it, the price was surely quite high. https://noticias.autocosmos.cl/2022/12/21/zagato-nuevamente-deslumbra-con-una-exclusiva-version-corta-del-alfa-romeo-giulia

With the last drug detected, the family reaffirms its position that it was supplied to deprive her of her will. New information has been released by experts from the Medical Legal Service (SML), in the case of Law graduate Valentina González, who was found dead on July 29 in a motel in Mantagua, Concón, in the Valparaiso Region. In this way, through a toxicological examination carried out on her body, she revealed the presence of: cocaine, marijuana and ketamine. This last drug, for veterinary and anesthetic use, would reinforce the thesis of the González family, who maintain that the victim was given a drug to deprive her of her will. "The Legal Medicine Service only did a cardiac blood test, which the only thing that tells us is what is there, but for example, the marijuana could be from three or four months ago, in fact, there are no more remnants of marijuana, and regarding cocaine and ketamine, there is a higher concentration, and this is due to consumption closer to the date of death," said the lawyer and representative of the family, Cynthia Pérez, according to what was indicated by El Mercurio from Valparaiso. In the same way, the plaintiff lawyer accused a lack of protocol during the procedure carried out on the corpse. "The protocol says that it is mandatory to also take peripheral femoral blood, not only the heart, for which reason the Prosecutor's Office was requested - to which it agreed - to officiate at the SML to account for compliance or not with the regulations - and it is evident that he did not comply with it-, for the purposes of taking the two samples to the SML, and to the laboratory," said Pérez. However, the lawyer acknowledged that, due to the time that has elapsed of five months, the femoral blood test "will give us a result, but it would not be so accurate either." She, although she, in the same way, she communicated that the exhumation of the body will be requested, in order to carry out a hair test. The representative also accused a second situation that, in her opinion, would merit a summary by the SML. "I requested a 'Pídase cuenta', to demonstrate the lack of the SML, which also said last time that they did not have scales, an essential element for these analyses, that is, there are already two situations that require summary proceedings," Pérez declared. In turn, the lawyer provided details about the account of one of the witnesses in the case, along with emphasizing, regarding ketamine, that it could have been used to deprive Valentina González of her will. "In one of the statements of a person who used, who was with Valentina, he says that the guy told them he was tusi. This person left Valentina's room vomiting, badly, and then left. This reinforces our investigative line "Perez remarked. Finally, the lawyer emphasized that "the person who gave her the drug wanted submission and inhibit her will, because the mixture of cocaine with ketamine generates an antagonistic effect, which is precisely that. If she felt bad and could no longer handle her vehicle, why are you taking her to the motel? We believe that before this there were enough elements to formalize it." https://www.emol.com/noticias/Nacional/2022/12/21/1081689/nuevos-antecedentes-caso-daniela-gonzalez.html

Diablo Immortal is one of those bittersweet releases that this year 2022 has left us, as it has shown us the darkest side of Blizzard when it goes into collection mode and designs its video games to be a huge cash register that users must go through they wish to advance their playing seasons. Something that led the North American ARPG to be known among many fans in the community as Diablo Immoral. Finally listen to the community Thus, with Diablo Immortal came a new story, surely the most interesting of the entire game, as well as another one purely focused on achieving rewards within instances of increasing difficulty depending on the level of our protagonist. But of course, that single-player campaign mode ended relatively easily and those users who don't like multiplayer in the slightest (or daily tasks) were apparently left with nothing to do. Now Blizzard has revealed some details of that update that it is preparing under the name of Terror's Tide and that it will come to continue precisely that story that many wanted to last a little longer. In such a way that it will be possible to focus on completing it and maintain the feeling that we are enjoying a Diablo like normal ones. Especially when until June 2023 we will not have that highly anticipated Diablo IV knocking on the door of our PCs and consoles. By the way, this Terror’s Tide update for Diablo Immortal will start rolling out to PC and Android and iOS mobile users starting today, December 14. So stay tuned because the game client will be updated and the same will take some time for the full patch to be downloaded. What's new in this update? Essentially, this Terror's Tide by Diablo Immortal is going to bring us a new area called Stormpoint and it is a whole new game scenario that we can go to but, first, we must meet a series of requirements. The most important is that not any player will be able to enter these lands since it will be necessary for our char to have reached level 60 and the so-called Infernal III difficulty. To this we must also add the requirement of having completed the Starsign quest so that only those players who have been enjoying Diablo Immortal for months will be able to do so. It must also be said that Blizzard, for these things, usually helps new players have options to access this new map without having to waste many hours, so if you think you won't be able to visit Stormpoint, forget it, because the experience you gain will be multiplied to make things easier for you. That new area that will be part of the campaign hides a "salted prison island" where some of the most terrifying creatures hide (according to Blizzard) that protect one of the fragments of the World Stone. So it will be our divine mission to assault that prison to get hold of that relic that, surely, will unbalance the balance in favor of the forces of good. https://hardzone.es/noticias/componentes/retraso-subida-precios-gpu/

With NVMe SSDs being part of the base hardware of next-gen consoles, it won't be long before we see games where their level design won't revolve around the limitations of the hard drive. What's more, we have talked to you at length about the advantages in terms of latency and bandwidth of solid state drives. So now it's time to talk about how the SSD will affect the requirements of the games. As of today, there is no PC game designed around an NVMe SSD exclusively. This means that at present they are more of a bet for the future than anything else. However, they may bring increased technical requirements in future games, and they won't be exactly small. While games are increasingly demanding on hardware, we must take into account the effects on average settings. SSDs will increase gaming requirements We must start from the fact that we are referring to NVMe SSDs and not those of the SATA type, that is, those that use the PCI Express port to communicate with the RAM and the central processor. As well as with the graphics card to be able to transmit and receive data from the corresponding memories. We must start from the fact that although they can transfer large amounts of data in a short time. Neither CPU nor GPU will literally run on these types of units. So we are going to see major changes in the level design, without transitions, but as we get closer to an area it will be loading into RAM to make a sudden change. This will not only include zone data, but also graphical data. So it will be necessary to have a larger amount of main and graphics memory than usual to perform these transitions. The advantage is that, for example, we can create a city in a GTA where we can enter inside, we don't need to have the information in memory, but when our character approaches the door to enter, then in the back room of the memory would load the necessary information to be able to enter the building without loading times of any kind. Additional CPU cores for decompression One of the things that DirectX 12 Ultimate brings and all the graphics cards that include it is a unit that allows you to decompress data on the fly. This allows you to copy them to RAM without compression, but keep them compressed on the SSD, thus taking up less space. Which is appreciated given how expensive a gig of storage is on a solid state drive. This on consoles has been applied without a problem, but this is due to the fact that it is a UMA configuration and we have only one physical memory pool. In PC we have the video memory and the main one physically separated. Unless we are using an integrated graphics card where RAM is shared. Therefore, they cannot take advantage of the decompression engine included in the GPUs and this will increase the requirements of the games not only in memory, but also in processor. https://hardzone.es/noticias/componentes/retraso-subida-precios-gpu/

Yesterday, the lawyer Marta Herrera did not get the votes in the Senate to become the new national prosecutor. Given this, the Undersecretary of the Interior remarked that Chile "does not require small disputes." For the second time, the Senate rejected the name prioritized by the Government to be a national prosecutor. Yesterday, Marta Herrera obtained 26 votes in favor, 11 against, and 9 abstentions in a session that also left behind a series of recriminations and requests for reform of the election system for office. In the midst of that vacancy, the prosecutors maintain a strike in rejection of the readjustment of the public sector, of which they accuse, they were "discriminated against", which leaves the criminal prosecution system at a complex moment. In this context, the Undersecretary of the Interior, Manuel Monsalve, reflected in a conversation with Radio Universo that "the challenge of public security is a priority for the people who listen to us throughout Chile. They want the institutions to be able to respond to this urgency, respond in a serious, responsible, coordinated manner. That is the main concern of the Government". "Of course, in that sense, I think it is wrong, in the case of the appointment of the national prosecutor, not to place the work plans at the center, because what the country requires is that whoever leads. The Public Ministry guarantees that there will be effective criminal prosecution, that it conducts investigations that can identify, detain, dismantle, and punish organizations that today are bringing violence, weapons, drugs, and homicides to different sectors of Chile," criticized Monsalve. In fact, the authority criticized that some benches "have completely announced the rejection of the President's proposal for the national prosecutor, even before hearing the work proposals (...) I think it is not good for Chile," he stated. Asked about the ability of the Government to order its ranks to receive support in the chosen name, Monsalve maintained that "it is an ability of all governments to order their political base of support, it is a task that has always become more complex in each period, many times even as a result of the dispersion that occurs within Parliament". However, the authority stressed, "Parliament has to join the central tasks of the country, focusing on what the country requires. The country does not require small disputes regarding what could be the closeness of one person to another, which This is what has been discussed regarding the closeness of the candidates with the former national prosecutor Jorge Abbott; what is required is to see if he has a serious work plan, if he guarantees criminal prosecution, the powers to carry it out and with urgency that the country requires," he stressed. "I hope that with the new proposal made by the President, we can focus the debate on those aspects that are what the country requires," he concluded. https://www.emol.com/noticias/Nacional/2022/12/20/1081557/monsalve-rechazo-marta-herrera-fiscal.html

(CNN) -- The effects of human activity, from climate change to pollution, are "devastating" marine life, with nearly a tenth of underwater plants and animals assessed so far under threat of extinction, this report showed. Friday the most recent Red List of Threatened Species. The report's release coincides with a UN nature summit in Montreal, where Secretary-General Antonio Guterres urged countries to end an "orgy of destruction" and approve an agreement to halt and reverse the loss of habitats. They investigate possible poaching of endangered tortoises in the Galapagos More than 1,550 of the 17,903 marine plants and animals assessed by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) are at risk of extinction, according to the latest list, which acts as a barometer of biodiversity and is published several times a year. "It shows that we are having a pretty devastating impact on marine species," said Craig Hilton-Taylor, head of the IUCN Red List. "Underwater, you can't really see what's going on. So assessing the status of species gives us a real indicator of what's really going on there, and it's not good news." According to Hilton-Taylor, the proportion of marine species threatened with extinction is likely to be much higher than current data shows, as those analyzed so far have tended to be widespread fish species, not currently threatened. According to the IUCN, po[CENSORED]tions of dugongs, a plump, gray-colored herbivorous mammal commonly known as a sea cow, have dwindled to fewer than 250 adults in East Africa and fewer than 900 in the French territory of New Caledonia. Among the threats they face are the loss of their main source of food, seagrass beds, due to oil and gas exploration and production in the case of Mozambique, and pollution from nickel mining in the Pacific. 700 endangered seals found dead off Russia's Caspian coast The latest list reviews abalone species for the first time, a type of mollusk sold as luxury shellfish, finding that around 44% of them face extinction. Increasingly severe and frequent marine heat waves have caused mass mortality, fueling disease and wiping out their food sources, the IUCN says. In South Africa, poaching has "devastated" some abalone po[CENSORED]tions, while pollution from agriculture and industrial runoff has "eliminated" other abalones in part of the Arabian Peninsula," the IUCN said in a press release. . https://cnnespanol.cnn.com/2022/12/11/abalones-dugongos-bajo-amenaza-extincion-lista-roja-uicn-reux/
