The purchase of Activision Blizzard by Microsoft continues ahead, although as we have told you with some difficulties due to what it may mean for the competition. Given the case, Microsoft has guaranteed Sony, its main competitor and the one that could get worse off with this purchase, 10 years of Call of Duty releases for its PlayStation consoles. But now we have learned that these 10 years also extend to Nintendo consoles, guaranteeing the saga of this game on their consoles for the same period. This has been announced through a Tweet by Phil Spencer himself, where he indicates Microsoft's commitment to Nintendo to bring this franchise to their consoles. In this way, Microsoft reiterates its commitment with the purchase of Activision-Blizzard to partially manage the acquired franchises, bringing its games to more players regardless of the platform to which they belong. In any case, all this will be possible in the event that Microsoft finally buys Activision-Blizzard, since this purchase is currently being investigated by the competent bodies. In addition to Nintendo and Sony consoles, it has also announced that Call of Duty will be released on Steam simultaneously with Xbox if the purchase is finally completed successfully. With this announcement, many users, mainly Nintendo, will be looking forward to the purchase to be able to try one of the most demanded titles on the Nintendo Switch, the portable console par excellence, as some Steam Deck users can already do. . https://www.geeknetic.es/Noticia/27091/Microsoft-promete-llevar-durante-10-anos-Call-of-Duty-a-las-consolas-de-Nintendo-si-se-finaliza-la-compra-de-Activision-Blizzard.html

I am sure that many users who read this text throughout their lives have assembled several computers, either for their own use or for friends and family. Well, Raja Koduri, Head of Intel's graphics card department and a heavyweight in the company, says that building a computer is becoming more complicated... and expensive. Assembling a computer in parts has always been a way to save money and get a system that meets our needs. Carrying out the process of assembling a computer by parts requires a lot of time, patience and looking in many stores. But, there are more and more users who directly want a mounted computer. Raja Koduri has had trouble setting up his own PC Any computer lover knows that building a computer has two advantages: the fun of doing it and saving money. But, at present it seems that these two incentives no longer exist or are in the process of extinction. Who has realized this is Raja Koduri himself, one of the top leaders of Intel. He has commented Koduri that he no longer assembles as many computers as he did 5-10 years ago. As he has said, he has recently assembled two computers with hardware from Intel and from a competitor, come on, from AMD or NVIDIA, there is no more. You may not know Koduri, but he is the father of AMD RDNA architecture and the developer of Intel's current graphics cards. Come on, he is not just anyone, so to speak, he is a person with great knowledge. This is why he himself is surprised that he had to watch videos on YouTube to assemble these computers. This has meant that Koduri has realized that there is a problem within the PC industry. He has highlighted that he is thinking about how to make everything more modular, to go back to those times where building a PC was fun and you saved money. And he has also ruled that the PC must be restarted. It was about time someone noticed Most likely, the end of custom computers is killed by the industry itself. The hardware is increasing the price significantly and that is a really important problem. But this effect is making cloned computers cheaper than assembling a computer in pieces. Clone computer assemblers buy large amounts of hardware and this allows them to offer cheaper equipment than if we assemble it piece by piece. I must say that about a year ago, I gave up having a tower-type PC, I switched to laptops. I've always been averse to gaming laptops, but now I find it impossible to go back. It was a lot due to circumstances, I needed a new computer and for different reasons (that are irrelevant) acquiring a tower-type PC was not viable. Surely, if it hadn't been for that, I would have a tower and continue with a mistaken belief. But it is not only my case, many users are going to laptops. Now, it remains to be seen what are the changes that Koduri proposes, if they translate into something real. We assume so, because he and specifically, Intel, need to change the trend. https://hardzone.es/noticias/componentes/montar-ordenador-no-ahorrar-dinero-intel/

The European Parliament dismissed legislator Eva Kaili, arrested for apparent receipt of bribes, from the post of vice-president on Tuesday, in a strong reaction to restore credibility, seriously affected by the scandal. The plenary approved by 625 votes in favor and just one against and two abstentions the dismissal of the Greek social democrat from the position of vice president, in a forceful response from the plenary to the case. Kaili's removal had been recommended to the plenary by the Conference of Presidents, the group made up of the head of Parliament and the leaders of the different political blocs. The press service of the European Parliament announced that the vote that decided the dismissal of Kaili was based on internal regulations and occurred "in the context of investigations in Belgium involving members and staff" of that legislative institution. An investigation opened by the Belgian prosecutor's office led to the arrest and indictment of Kaili and three other people on suspicion of receiving large sums of money from a "Persian Gulf State", which would be Qatar, to defend interests in Parliament. The 44-year-old MEP was arrested after Belgian investigators found bags full of cash at her residence, though her lawyer says she Kaili did not accept any "Qatar bribes". "His position is that he is innocent. It has nothing to do with Qatari bribery," lawyer Michalis Dimitrakopoulos told a Greek television network, Open TV. The Belgian federal prosecutor's office announced on Monday that in raids carried out in three different places it seized several hundred thousand euros in cash. Police also raided an office of the European Parliament in Brussels to seize computer data from a dozen officials. Reform and transparency The scandal represents a brutal blow to the credibility of the European Parliament, which usually takes the initiative in denouncing cases of corruption. For this reason, the president of the parliament, the Maltese conservative Roberta Metsola, expressed her "fury, anger and sadness" over the case, and warned that what happened represents an "attack" on the entire legislature and on European democracy. "We will launch a reform process to see who has access to our facilities, how these organizations, NGOs and individuals are financed, what links they have with third countries," Metsola promised on Monday. "We will ask for more transparency in meetings with foreign actors," she added. This Tuesday, Metsola and the heads of the different blocks announced the start of an internal reform process in Parliament to "ensure that transparency and accountability are reinforced." Given the scandal, the agenda of the parliamentary plenary for this Tuesday in Strasbourg has been modified, and it will be dedicated to debating the case. On Thursday, a text calling for more transparency in the European institutions will be put to the vote. https://www.emol.com/noticias/Internacional/2022/12/13/1080902/parlamento-europeo-destituye-eva-kaili.html

Endangered seals appear on the coast of the Caspian Sea (CNN) -- About 700 endangered seals have been found dead on Russia's Caspian coast in the North Caucasus, local officials said Sunday. Caspian seals, the only mammals found in the Caspian Sea, have been classified as endangered on the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) red list since 2008. “The number of discovered animals may increase. The cause of death has not yet been determined," the press service of the region's fisheries agency said, according to Russian state media TASS. The seals washed up off the coast of the Russian republic of Dagestan, along the Caspian Sea, the world's largest landlocked body of water. TASS said that "investigators had already begun work to identify the cause of death of mammals." The drought in Kenya is killing these rare zebras and other animals. The news comes after more than 140 Caspian seals were found dead on Kazakh beaches in the Caspian Sea earlier this year, according to KASPIKA, an agency for the conservation of Caspian seals. According to the IUCN, the Caspian seal po[CENSORED]tion has suffered from overhunting, habitat degradation and climate change. The Caspian Sea is bordered by five countries: Azerbaijan, Iran, Kazakhstan, Russia, and Turkmenistan. https://cnnespanol.cnn.com/2022/12/04/hallan-muertas-700-focas-peligro-extincion-costa-caspio-rusia-trax/

Toyota and Audi are ready to resume the fight for domination of the sands of Saudi Arabia. The 2023 Dakar Rally is just around the corner. The 45th edition of the toughest race in the world will be held entirely in Saudi Arabia, starting on December 31 and ending on January 15 after a 14-stage dispute, with a 8,549 km route and 4,706 km of competitive specials. It is expected that 365 vehicles will start on a Red Sea beach, of which 160 will compete in the Car category, the most important of the event. And between them there will be an unleashed fight between the official firms Toyota and Audi. The Toyota GR DKR Hilux T1+ Toyota Gazoo Racing will face the 2023 Dakar Rally with a team of three vehicles, with defending champions Nasser Al-Attiyah and Mathieu Baumel in car number 200, escorted by former champion Giniel de Villiers and Dennis Murphy (205), and with Henk Lategan and Brett Cummings (217) as squires. They will all compete in the Toyota GR DKR Hilux T1+, an improved version in terms of quality, durability and reliability of the winning model in the Dakar 2022. The brand indicates that the suspension components and forks have been reinforced, the settings have been optimized of single shock absorber, as well as the shifting characteristics of the transmission. Finally, the software has been tweaked to accept the most modern racing fuel. It is worth remembering that despite its name and exterior style, the GR DKR Hilux T1+ is not based on a Hilux pick-up but on a Land Cruiser 300 designed with a tubular frame. It mounts the V35A engine, a twin-turbo petrol with 355 Hp of power and 620 Nm of torque, which is limited by the FIA reference power curve. It is managed through a 6-speed Sadev sequential gearbox and has limited-slip front, center and rear differentials. The RS Q e-tron E2 On the Audi side, the German brand will debut the RS Q e-tron E2, the evolution of the hybrid model that will debut in 2022. The brand indicates that the entire bodywork has been redesigned and that all the parts are new, adopting, incidentally, several measures to reduce the weight, which is 2,100 kilos. Aerodynamics has also been an important point, since the designers have managed to reduce aerodynamic resistance by 15%. Powertrain-wise, the RS Q e-tron E2 remains a hybrid equipped with a pair of electric motors complemented by a DTM-derived motor, used solely to charge the batteries. The brand indicates that many shortcomings that appeared in the previous Dakar have been improved and, for example, the servo pump, the air conditioning cooling pump and the fans have been optimized to save energy in the stages. The interior was also improved to make it more user-friendly. Audi will field a three-car team on the Dakar, driven by Stéphane Peterhansel, Carlos Sainz and Mattias Ekstrom. https://noticias.autocosmos.cl/2022/12/12/dakar-2023-la-guerra-de-los-autos-esta-por-comenzar

Both services will remain closed this Tuesday due to the announcement of social protests in that region of southern Peru, amid the political and social turmoil that has left 7 dead so far. The international airport of Cuzco and the train service to the citadel of Machu Picchu will remain closed this Tuesday due to the announcement of social protests in that region of southern Peru, amid the political and social turmoil that has left so far. , 7 dead. The Peruvian Corporation of Airports and Commercial Aviation (Corpac) reported, in a statement, that it has decided that the Cuzco airport will be closed after "a mob of protesters" tried to enter the facilities through "loops in the perimeter fence." . "In order to safeguard the integrity and safety of passengers, users, the general public and our collaborators, air operations at our Cusco terminal are suspended, since their safety is not guaranteed," he said. The company also requested that the protection of the Peruvian National Police (PNP) be strengthened "against possible criminal acts that attack the airport infrastructure, navigation, control and surveillance systems necessary for air operations at said airport headquarters." . Corpac also recommended that passengers coordinate to reschedule their flights "directly with their airline through its official channels" and made "a call for calm and serenity to the po[CENSORED]tion." For its part, the company PerúRail, operator of trains to Machu Picchu, announced that this service will be suspended this Tuesday due to the announcement of the start of mobilizations called by unions and peasant organizations that have called for an "indefinite strike" in the region. "We regret the inconvenience that these announcements generate for our passengers; however, they are due to situations beyond the control of our company and seek to prioritize the safety of passengers and workers," it said in a statement. The protests that broke out this Sunday in Peru against President Dina Boluarte and Congress reached a maximum level of violence and vandalism on Monday, reporting a total of seven deaths, more than a hundred police officers injured and the attack on two television channels in Lime. The Ombudsman, Eliana Revollar, confirmed the number of deaths in the clashes between the Police and protesters calling for Boluarte's resignation and the closure of Congress, which last Wednesday removed Pedro Castillo from the presidency after announcing a self-coup by Condition. The most violent clashes are taking place in the south of the country, specifically in the departments of Apurímac and Arequipa, where other mobilizations are announced for this Tuesday, in addition to those called by unions from Cuzco. As a result of the social unrest, the Government decreed a 60-day state of emergency on Monday in seven provinces of Apurímac, while the protests were also felt in Lima, where protesters attacked the headquarters of the Public Ministry and the premises of two TV channels https://www.soychile.cl/santiago/internacional/2022/12/13/790248/crisis-peru-cierran-aeropuerto-suspendentren.html

RAM memory has been in all computers since the 70s, while it has happened all this time we have seen how components have appeared and disappeared. Some due to disuse, others because they are integrated into others. However, next to the processor there it is still. But what if we integrated RAM inside the processor and made it disappear? Is this possible to do? We explain it to you. The trend in hardware is that motherboards are getting simpler compared to what they were a few years ago. For a few years now, people have been talking about certain technologies that would allow RAM and CPU to merge into the same entity. Will we see it in the future or instead are there limitations to it? Is it possible to integrate RAM inside the processor? One of the concepts regarding the performance of processors is that the closer the memory is to the units that execute the instructions, the better performance, since it takes less time to solve the instruction. The reason? Simple, the electrical signal has less distance to travel. So the ideal would be that processor and memory were on the same chip. However, we find ourselves with the fact that there is RAM memory, which is the support memory that every processor uses to execute programs. Which, as you already know, is outside the chip and, therefore, does not bring the ideal performance. As if that were not enough, this distance increases energy consumption when transmitting data. Bearing in mind that RAM memory is a fundamental piece of any architecture and we cannot delete it, we have wondered what would happen if we removed this component from view. That is, if we integrated it into the processor. In any case, chips of this type already exist, since microcontrollers have precisely the memory with which they work inside the chip, but its function is very limited. Advantages of integrating RAM inside the processor First of all, we are going to talk about the advantages of integrating RAM into the processor. We put it on conditional because we are not going to take into account the technical limitations that prevent manufacturers from doing it so far. About which we will enter later. So for the moment we are going to limit ourselves to what the concept would be in theory and what advantages it would bring with it. BMI would disappear The integrated memory controller would end up disappearing, since it is in charge of managing the accesses with the external memory and, therefore, its space would be occupied by the RAM memory inside the processor. In the same way, the entire part of the periphery, which is the interface in charge of communicating with the system's memory externally, would also cease to exist since said memory does not exist in theory. Processor performance would increase Obviously, by completely reducing the access time to the data and instructions, all of them would be executed in less time and obviously the performance of these is measured by the number of instructions that they can execute in a given time. Why? Well, due to the fact that this translates into executing the programs faster or, failing that, being able to manage several of them at the same time. https://hardzone.es/noticias/componentes/ram-dentro-procesador/

After the intervention of the former president, in the commemoration of Human Rights Day, the current Head of State spoke, coinciding with her. Former President Michelle Bachelet sent a message on Monday in the midst of the inability of the political parties to reach an agreement that allows the opening of a new constituent process, warning that in the face of this challenge there is no room to fall into irresponsibility or the struggles of egos. During her participation in the commemoration of International Human Rights Day at the La Moneda Cultural Center, in an activity headed by President Gabriel Boric, the former head of state took advantage of that instance to send a message of unity around the need to reach agreements on this matter. "We live in times of worrying fragmentation. Faced with this, there is no room for irresponsibility. Basic agreements are your best antidote. Because what is essential is what clarifies the reunion between democrats," said the High Commissioner for Human Rights until recently. of the United Nations. In her opinion, given the current situation, political leaders must act "soberly. With generosity. Unity is built around fundamental purposes. Let us leave sterile discussions and stridency in their place: the irrelevance of the struggles of egos". Boric supports Subsequently, it was Boric's turn, who commented that "by the way, it is an honor for me to speak after the former President, and I thank her for her tremendous generosity with me, sharing her experience, her learning and her tremendous experience not only in the position that I inhabit today, but also in that long fight for the defense of human rights that she and so many others have carried out". Having said that, the president took up Bachelet's words, emphasizing at the beginning of his speech that "a phrase that he says in his speech remains marked for me, the irrelevance of egos has no place. That irrelevance of egos, I invite all of us to let us question it if we are at any point contributing to it". "I hope that this does not prevail when it is time to reach important agreements," he mentioned, in line with the series of efforts that he has led in recent weeks to support the talks that are taking place in the National Congress, with a view to closing as much as possible. before an eventual constitutional itinerary. https://www.emol.com/noticias/Nacional/2022/12/12/1080782/bachelet-fragmentacion-irresponsabilidad.html

(CNN) -- Wolves are animals that live in packs of family groups led by a matriarch and her mate. Some wolves stay with their pack for life, helping to hunt and raise the pups as aunts and uncles as they mature, but others separate to find mates and create packs of their own. There are many factors that influence this type of behavior, such as personality quirks and family relationships established when they are puppies. But new scientific findings reveal a surprising influence on wolf pack dynamics: a mind-controlling parasite that causes gray wolves to engage in more risky behavior. The researchers found that gray wolves in Yellowstone National Park infected with a parasite known as Toxoplasma gondii were more likely to leave the wolf pack they were born into or become pack leaders. The startling revelations could change scientists' understanding of wolf pack dynamics and improve conservation efforts for an alpha predator that plays an important role in the health of its mountain ecosystem. biochemical crossfire If you've ever owned a cat, you've probably heard of toxoplasmosis, an infection caused by T. gondii, a single-celled parasite. Their life cycle is closely linked to cats: due to unique enzymatic activity, cat intestines contain an excess of an acid that T. gondii needs to reproduce. The parasites reproduce in cats' intestines, and cats then shed parasite oocytes (individual cells that are sorts of eggs) in their feces. When other mammals or birds eat or drink something contaminated by these resistant oocytes, they also become infected. But the intestines of other animals don't have the linoleic acid content that T. gondii needs to reproduce, so the parasite has to find its way back to a member of the cat family. The parasites burrow into the intermediate host's brain and muscle tissue and change their behavior in ways that increase their chances of being eaten by a cat. The mechanism is still unclear to researchers, but the phenomenon is best known in rodents: Mice infected with T. gondii seem to lose their inherent fear of cats and no longer avoid the smell of cat urine, researchers have shown. studies. These cheeky mice are easy prey for a cat, and by eating them, the newly infected feline inadvertently starts the process all over again. As far as evolutionary survival is concerned, T. gondii is optimized for cats and their prey, but other animals can get caught in the biochemical crossfire, with similar behaviorally altered results. Even humans can be affected. Some behavior changes, such as taking risks in business, road rage, and even schizophrenia, may be associated with a T. gondii infection. And now, a recent study in the academic journal Communications Biology has shown the first evidence of T. gondii's effect on gray wolves. https://cnnespanol.cnn.com/2022/11/30/control-mental-parasitos-dinamica-manadas-lobos-trax/

Global NCAP has just announced its second list of results after the adjustment and tightening of security tests for India. Of course, Suzuki, being one of the most important players in that market, went to the blackboard with three locally produced models, such as the Ignis, the S-Presso and the Swift. Unfortunately, none of the three models stood out in the reviews, earning only one star. As always, these tests are carried out taking into account the most basic models available in your test market, that is, they are not exactly the models that are sold in our country, although in some cases they are quite close. In Chile, the Ignis -already discontinued- comes from Japan, while the Swift has Indian and Japanese versions. The Suzuki S-Presso is also Indian. As ESP is mandatory in Chile, the safety standard should be higher, however, the first comment made in the report is that all the chassis and body structures proved to be unstable, especially in frontal crashes. There are other tests that are required to raise the score but are only done when you have certain safety devices, such as curtain airbags for side-impact tests with a pole, which were not done. In the case of the Ignis and the S-Presso, there were no recommendations on the use of child seats, considering that none of these models is equipped with ISOFIX in the tested versions. This results in both of them having no child protection scores. The evaluations Regarding Suzuki's smaller car, it scored 8.13 points in the frontal impact evaluation and 11.9 with the side barrier. The most critical damage is in the driver's chest area, with marginal damage to the driver's legs and passenger's chest. The rest of the zones of both dummies alternate between good and adequate. In the case of a side impact, the upper extremities receive a marginal evaluation, while the hip and pelvis have a good evaluation. The bodywork and firewall section were declared unstable, which means that structural rigidity is severely compromised. It is striking that the Indian Swift scored 6.3 points in the frontal crash test, with critical injuries to the driver's feet, weak protection to the driver's thorax, marginal evaluation on the thighs of both occupants and the rest, an evaluation of adequate to good. In the side test, the head protection puts it ahead of the S-Presso, but the evaluation for the thorax is very weak, scoring 12.9 points. This is all worth noting, considering that the Swift is a larger, more modern development car. Something very particular happened with the Ignis, the side impact test was really critical, with a weak evaluation for the head and poor (the lowest) for the thorax, which gives it 6.91 points, almost half of that of the Swift. In frontal impact, it comes out better with 9.6 points, without poor evaluations, but with weak protection for the driver's body, marginal for the thighs and between adequate and good for the heads and feet. The Ignis firewall has a more rigid structure than both models mentioned, but the bodywork does compromise structural rigidity. what was said David Ward, chief executive of the Towards Zero Foundation said: "Once again it is disappointing that Maruti Suzuki has failed to keep up with the safety advances made by its competitors. At least now, new Indian government safety regulations will force the company to apply minimum security standards. However, they should care about their customers and do even better." When Ward refers to his competitors, he mainly refers to the brands rather than the product: the new generation Mahindra Scorpio scored five stars. Fortunately, thanks to the fact that ESP has become the norm in Chile, the cars will come with more equipment. In some cases, ESP is bundled with other security packages, leading us to believe that the standard will go up. However, ideally there should be no first world safety and third world safety, but a high minimum standard for all cars in all markets, from the most basic model and that this not only has to do with assists, but also with an improvement of the structures and bodies. https://noticias.autocosmos.cl/2022/12/12/suzuki-reprueba-las-nuevas-pruebas-de-global-ncap

The Chilean startup NotCo continues with its expansion process. This, after the company extended its Investment Round D, and together with Princeville Capital -North American investment fund- raised more than US$70 million to develop its incipient B2B Unit. The objective? The firm's bet is to license NotCo's patented Artificial Intelligence, which will allow other brands, ingredient suppliers and technology providers to take advantage of "Giuseppe" for their own innovation purposes and exponentially accelerate the transformation of the Plant-Based industry. to new protagonists in the food industry. Led by Princeville Capital, an investment firm focused on backing fast-growing technology-related companies around the world, the Series D extension includes industry-leading existing backers, including Jeff Bezos through Bezos Expeditions, Tiger Global , L. Catterton, Kaszek Ventures, Future Positive, and The Craftory. In addition to Princeville Capital, new investors in the Round D extension include Marcos Galperin, founder and CEO of Latin America's largest technology company, Mercado Libre. The new round of financing was completed at the same price as Series D shares made in July 2021, reaffirming NotCo's valuation of $1.5bn. "Since day one, our mission has been to create a more sustainable world and transform the food industry by making exquisite plant-based foods available for every table, kitchen and pantry," said NotCo Co-Founder and CEO Matías Muchnick. "Building on the example of our joint venture with Kraft Heinz, we are excited to develop extraordinary new partnerships that leverage our proprietary technology. These relationships will help diversify and accelerate our impact, while expanding the accessibility of truly Plant-Based food options. delicious to further boost the industry," he added. Through its new B2B platform, NotCo will make its technology available to more food and beverage manufacturers looking to create world-class, scalable, Plant-Based products. "The food industry urgently needs to embrace technology to dramatically speed up the product development process, reduce costs and address the challenges posed by climate change. NotCo is a unique company globally with immense potential thanks to the team they have built and their One-of-a-kind AI," said Joaquín Rodríguez Torres, co-founder of Princeville Capital, who joins NotCo's board. The executive also commented that "it is rare to find a company with such an incredible track record of success in such a short period of time, and we are happy to help drive the growth and expansion of the company." In 2019, the Chilean startup caught the attention of the international tech community when it became Amazon founder Jeff Bezos' Bezos Expedition's first investment in Latin America. Since then, NotCo has been in the news several times, becoming one of the biggest players in the Plant-Based food segment: it closed deals with Burger King, Shake Shake, Starbucks and Dunkin. Also, he raised more than $420 million in funding in difficult times, amassing celebrity investors like Roger Federer, Lewis Hamilton and Questlove, and, most recently, creating a joint venture with the American giant Kraft Heinz, to create the Plant-Based version of his most iconic products. https://www.emol.com/noticias/Economia/2022/12/12/1080792/notco-financiamiento-ampliar-industria.html

The po[CENSORED]r game from Epic Games has been updated to start Chapter 4, we are talking about Fortnite. With this update we will not only see new characters and a redesign of the map, but it comes with Unreal Engine 5.1 technology to offer us all the features of this new version of the best-known Battle Royale game. In this version 5.1 of Unreal Engine we find a visual improvement and with more detail thanks to Nanite, Lumen, Virtual Shadow Maps and Superresolution. Thanks to Nanite, architectural elements are generated from millions of polygons. So to create a building, it is rendered in real time as is each individual element such as a stone or plank of wood. Landscapes also use this technique, a single blade of grass is rendered from a multitude of polygons for higher quality. Lumen offers ray tracing effects in real time and with 60 FPS. These effects will also be seen when the characters react with light, adopting a shape and color as in real life. The shadows of the elements have also been improved thanks to the Virtual Shadow Maps, now a small brick will have its own shadow and the one generated by the characters. In the game will be much more precise, including the elements they have at that moment. Lastly, Temporal Super Resolution improves antialiasing for better graphics quality even at high FPS. At the moment the Epic Games team has disabled DLSS in the game, they are testing that all the new features introduced work with DLSS and if everything works correctly it will be enabled later. By introducing these changes, some settings on PC have been moved, you can take a look at the Epic Games post to know what these changes are. https://www.geeknetic.es/Noticia/27061/Fortnite-estrena-en-el-Capitulo-4-el-motor-Unreal-Engine-51-con-Nanite-Lumen-Mapas-de-Sombras-Virtuales-y-Superresolucion.html

It is not necessary to spend a fortune on a good laptop to work, study or surf, there are cheap solutions. We've been looking for solutions that are powerful, affordable, and work with Windows. We have found three very interesting laptops which have up to 33% discount. The first of the options that we bring you is quite striking and is out of what we could call common. The first aspect in which this laptop stands out is that it has a Qualcomm processor, similar to that of a smartphone. This allows us to create a compact and lightweight system that we can transport comfortably. We can get this Samsung Galaxy Book GO for 369 euros, which represents a saving of 17%. The processor stands out above all in this laptop, leaving aside Intel and AMD, the main manufacturers of chips for laptops. It makes use of the Qualcomm Snapdragon 7c Gen2 processor, which is manufactured by Samsung. This processor has 8 Kryo 490 cores working at a frequency of 2.55 GHz. This processor is accompanied by a discrete Qualcomm Adreno 618 graphics card, enough to offer an image. This laptop integrates 4 GB of LPDDR4X RAM, which is little. Really less than 8 GB today is an understatement, but hey, for work, surfing and studying, it may be fine. The storage is not the brightest either, with 128 GB of eMMC memory, which is also very tight. There are two points where it is weak. We are talking about a simple 14-inch screen laptop with 1080p resolution, without more. It offers us WiFi 6 and Bluetooth 5.1 connectivity, which is not bad. Regarding the rest of the connectivity, it has a USB-C, a USB-A 2.0, a micro SD card reader and a headphone jack. It can be a good solution to work remotely if we are going to use Office or similar tools. It can even be a good gift for kids who are studying ESO or Baccalaureate. Sure, it costs very little money, we can't demand much for the price either. Microsoft Surface Laptop Go 1 As an alternative, somewhat more expensive, but also light and quite portable, we have this Microsoft system. It is true that Surface systems in Spain have not been very well received, since we tend to prefer more consolidated brands. This Microsoft system is characterized by having a 12.4-inch screen with a resolution of 1536 × 1024 pixels. I must say that when we start with weird resolutions like this, I already seem distant. Currently, something less than a 1080p resolution, I consider that it does not make much sense. This system has an Intel Core i5-1035G1 processor which has 4 cores and 8 threads. This processor works at a base frequency of 1 GHz and can reach 3.6 GHz in Boost mode. It integrates Intel UHD discrete graphics, to display images and little else. It is not a bad processor, but of course, it is designed for great autonomy of the system and it is that this Microsoft Surface offers us up to 13 hours of autonomy. Perhaps the greatest strengths of this system is that it has 8 GB of LPDDR4X RAM and a 128 GB SSD. Although in terms of storage it is very fair, it integrates 8 GB of RAM, double that of the previous system. Regarding connectivity, it offers WiFi 6 and Bluetooth 5.0, as well as a USB-C, a USB-A and a headphone jack. I don't like the resolution at all and that it only has 128 GB of capacity. I think it has a much better processor than the rest of the features of this laptop. In addition, here we pay for the logo, the same as in Apple systems. For me, there are better options for a similar price. ASUS VivoBook 15 OLED K513EA So far we have seen two laptops on sale, which for me every day, I would not acquire. Although they have their market and they are not bad solutions, in several points, key for me, they are lame a lot. The one that I would buy is this ASUS VivoBook, because it more than meets all the minimums, being from an excellent brand like ASUS and for having very good features. The first thing I like is the screen, which is 15.6 inches with a 1080p resolution. Said screen is characterized by being of the OLED type with a typical brightness of 400 nits and offers a refresh rate of 60 Hz with a response time of 0.2 ms. It has an Intel Core i5-1135G7 processor which has 4 cores and 8 threads. Said processor works at a frequency of 2.4 GHz and in Boost mode it reaches up to 4.2 GHz. This processor integrates an Iris Xe graphics that works at a maximum frequency of 1.3 GHz. The truth is that the family of Core-G7 (and G5) processors ) I like them a lot, I consider that they are very powerful processors with a very adjusted consumption. This laptop has 12 GB of SODIMM RAM memory, of which 8 GB are in a module and 4 GB are soldered. I don't like soldering RAM as it makes it harder (or impossible) to expand the system but hey, the amount of memory is optimal. Regarding storage, it has a 512 GB capacity M.2 PCIe 3.0 SSD, which is more than enough. https://hardzone.es/ofertas/mix/ordenador-portatil-economico-diciembre-2022/

The five days that the Executive has to send to the Senate its choice of candidate to occupy the position of National Prosecutor have already started, after the defeat by only two votes of lawyer José Morales. The talks that are taking place these days between Parliament and the Government are fundamental, since two new names were added, there is no favorite, and in the last process several senators accused that someone who did not have massive support was nominated and He played to achieve a very narrow approval of the proposal, which went wrong after the absences and pick-ups of key parliamentarians for the outcome. For this reason, for this opportunity, the senators are asking for greater, more direct dialogue, and that a person "without blemishes" be chosen, referring to the background that was known about Morales related to his role in the corruption cases in which he worked. and they did not end with a positive result. "There has to be a direct dialogue with the benches, without messengers, intermediaries, because it muddies the process, takes away transparency and reliability," says PS Senator Gastón Saavedra, who abstained in the election of the first candidate. Regarding the conversations, Saavedra states that he has not yet been contacted by the Executive. "Let the President use his powers and then there will have to be the relevant dialogue, but there has to be. We cannot take something that is not for granted," he affirms. Listen to "all sectors" of the ruling party Senator Esteban Velásquez (FRVS), another of the parliamentarians who did not vote in favor of Morales, assures that the government must listen and talk with "all the political sectors of the ruling coalition, without differences, and pay close attention to those eventual majorities, theoretical, in quotes". For Velásquez, it is necessary for the nomination to meet the demands regarding the standards of citizenship, since this person "must provide certainty and be very solid in his leadership regarding the commitment he must have to combat all types of corruption in the public sphere. ". Parliamentarian Loreto Carvajal, head of the PPD committee, has another look, who in conversation with Emol TV did not focus on the possible errors of the Government in the previous nomination, since she considers that the ministers did a good job, but at that moment "there were a condition that made one think that the votes were going to be obtained". Carvajal, on the other hand, pointed directly to his pro-government partners, and stated that "it is not understandable" that there have been a lack of votes in that sector with perhaps "attentive" but not sufficient arguments, unlike the PPD, whose bench voted aligned with the Government. "I would hope that a finished technical analysis would be made regarding the conditions that a prosecutor or a National Prosecutor must have beyond the guidelines or personal impressions regarding whether or not the candidate is to my liking," she said. The opposition calls for more "care" and a name without "blemishes" . Who was critical of the role that the Executive should have in the coming days was Senator Iván Flores (DC), one of those who voted against Morales. "I hope they have managed to learn the lesson of what it means to choose well who has to not only lead a complicated and complex institution at a time of juncture, but also someone who has no blemish, who has an impeccable career, who has the ability to lead the Public Ministry," says Flores. "If the candidate meets those requirements, I'm going to vote in favor. If not, I have to act accordingly and with the conviction that it's not what the country needs," adds the senator. Senator RN, Paulina Núñez, is also critical, stressing that "the Government cannot send a name that has not been discussed at least with its own senators, a new rejection would be a bad decision for the institutional framework, for the Public Ministry." In addition, and in response to the comment that had been repeated that the ministers did not know how to respond to the reasons for the election of Morales in the commission, Núñez asks that "the argument of the ministers in the Senate I hope improves, the signals were lukewarm, in my opinion trial and the least the government can do is strengthen the President's proposal". Meanwhile, Republican Senator Rojo Edwards requests greater "care" from the Government, both in the choice of name and in who he sends to talk to the senators, as Senator Velásquez also raised. "No senator wants to have to reject a President's nomination for a position of such importance as the National Prosecutor's Office. But so that it does not fail again, we ask the government to be careful in the election and also with respect to who sends to talk with the Senate ", he stresses. According to Edwards, the failure to nominate Morales was "unprecedented" and Minister Ríos demonstrated "little political capacity." The Prosecutor's Office needs profound changes and that address the serious crisis of insecurity that we are experiencing. That vision must represent he or the new prosecutor," he adds. Those who have not expressed an opinion so far are the UDI parliamentarians, who were committed to the Executive's proposal and supported Morales almost completely, with the exception of Senator David Sandoval. Only after the nomination made by the Executive and after hearing the candidate in the Constitution Commission, the UDI will issue its opinion, explains Iván Moreira."The problem lies with the Government, with which we have not discussed the issue, and it is who has the greatest responsibility, because this is not the time to improvise in this nomination, given that in the country crime and drug trafficking is overflowing and nobody sets limits," he says. https://www.emol.com/noticias/Nacional/2022/12/10/1080650/senadores-piden-dialogo-gobierno-fiscalnacional.html

TSA discovers cat inside suitcase at airport It turns out that Smells the cat has a lot to be thankful for. First, there was its newsworthy rescue by Transportation Security Administration (TSA) officials, who saw the poor feline's silhouette in a suitcase as it passed through an airport X-ray security check. . The orange cat, who apparently got into a suitcase filled with bottles, wine glasses and a pair of flip-flops, was thankfully uninjured. Now, Smells is being pampered after the ordeal. TSA posted a tweet earlier this week showing Smells sitting in front of a delicious-looking Thanksgiving dinner. The tweet reads: "Smells, the cat that @TSA recently rescued from a checked bag at @JFKairport after it slipped into a suitcase in an attempt to fly to Orlando, enjoyed Thanksgiving at his home in Brooklyn. Smells was apparently planning to chase down a large mouse that he heard was running around Disneyworld." And it was a complete success for Smells. Not only was the cat presented with a large plate of food, with what appeared to be green beans and mashed potatoes with a generous helping of gravy, but a good glass of red wine also accompanied the feast. However, Smells seems to be somewhat indecisive, perhaps he had more of a mouse craving. https://cnnespanol.cnn.com/2022/11/30/el-gato-smells-recibio-un-festin-de-accion-de-gracias-tras-ser-rescatado-de-una-maleta-trax/

Just a few hours have passed since we told you that Toyota is working on the development of a Hilux with a hydrogen drive system, in what is nothing more than the continuity of the brand's work with the mineral. Currently, the Japanese firm uses hydrogen in two ways: one, through a fuel cell system to move cars like the Mirai, and that it will apply to the aforementioned Hilux; another, using it as fuel for a combustion engine. Toyota decided to include another of its current models in testing with the H2. We are talking about the Corolla Cross, an SUV that we know well in Chile since it is one of the best sellers of the year. Toyota Corolla Cross H2 Concept: Main Features The Corolla Cross H2 Concept is the result of a series of developments carried out by Toyota in the world of motorsports, according to the brand itself. Specifically, he participated in the Japanese Super Taikyu category, specialized in resistance competitions. With none other than Akio Toyoda, president of the brand, at the wheel of a GR Corolla H2, the automaker dedicated itself to improving the power (it did so by 24%) and the torque (33%) of the hydrogen-powered combustion engine , as well as its autonomy (30%) and the refueling time (from five minutes to a minute and a half). Toyota turned the experience gathered on the track in the Corolla Cross H2 Concept, and it did so using the same engine, that is to say a 1.6 Turbo 3-cylinder and 12-valve, which has high-pressure direct hydrogen injection. Said impeller, based on the original of the GR Yaris, also equipped the hydrogen variant of the hot hatch. The brand did not disclose details about the engine's performance, but, taking into account the work done, it should deliver more than the 261 Hp and 360 Nm of torque that it had in the GR Yaris H2. For the inclusion of the aforementioned motor system in the prototype, Toyota not only recovered what happened in the Japanese racetracks, but also certain details of the Mirai, such as the arrangement of the hydrogen tanks. For now, Toyota is carrying out various tests, and hopes to test the vehicle in the coming months, more precisely in northern Japan. Although the brand itself states that it does not know if this type of powertrain will ever be marketed, it maintains that it has already traveled "40%" of the necessary path to put units such as the Corolla Cross H2 Concept on the market. https://noticias.autocosmos.cl/2022/12/09/toyota-insiste-con-el-hidrogeno-y-ahora-lo-prueba-en-un-corolla-cross

If I had to pick a console that I was going to buy with my money, it wouldn't be a new PlayStation, or even an Xbox, and I'm not talking about the Nintendo Switch either. For me and from personal experience, the best system that has come out in recent times is the Valve console and not because it is based on the PC, but from my own experience. However, it has its chiaroscuro and that is why I have decided to share my experience with the Steam Deck. First of all, I have to clarify that I am not the owner of a Steam Deck, my experience with it was recently at a good friend's house to whom it had come and he let me try it to enjoy it. Obviously, the first time you see it, it impresses with its size and took me back to my childhood memories of a classmate having an Atari Lynx. A console also huge in size, but simply spectacular from a technical point of view, being a kind of miniature Amiga and therefore also a marvel at the time. How was my first experience with the Steam Deck? However, the size of the console has not been a handicap when it comes to handling and playing with it for a period of time, yes, I have been holding it in a position that is comfortable to play and does not tire my hands. In any case, my Nintendo Switch with long games makes my hands have to rest, since Valve's console is bigger, I suppose the same thing would happen to me in less time. However, I did not get to be with her for long. As for the screen, it is a somewhat disappointing point for me, it is understood that being 1280 x 800 saves power in the graphics chip and makes many games playable without problems at a decent frame rate. Don't expect a wonder either, some titles have subtle visual cuts that visually place it below PS4 and Xbox One. So if you are a graphics connoisseur, make it clear that it is not a PC with an RTX or a portable PS5. What really gives value to the system It is the fact of being able to play a certain saga in all its splendor on a laptop, believe me that it is worth it and it is something that nothing has ever been possible to do. Let's not forget that neither SONY nor Microsoft are officially interested in making a portable console and, on the other hand, that certain games do not come out or will come out on Nintendo consoles and not because of the policies of the Kyoto company. Honestly, technological progress is not always based on the most powerful and although the concept can be improved, it is something that has been missing for a long time. Worth? With the little time I've had when it comes to enjoying it, yes, it has tasted little and I must confess that I am a person who has been apathetic to everything that happens in the world for a long time. That is to say, nothing or almost nothing excited me enough to consider, save and buy it. With the Valve console things have changed, unfortunately the economy is to prefer other more important things than a toy. And no, it's not that my wife won't let me, it's that she wants one too and two is a lot. https://hardzone.es/noticias/juegos/experiencia-steam-deck/

The political crisis in Peru reached its breaking point, after Pedro Castillo perpetrated a self-coup, by making the decision to unconstitutionally "dissolve" Congress. This power met in an emergency and dismissed the President, due to permanent moral incapacity. With this, Dina Boluarte, who until then was the vice president, assumed the Presidency of the Republic, becoming the first woman to hold that position in Peru. Boluarte – who had previously served as Minister of Development and Social Inclusion, and in recent weeks had distanced herself from her predecessor – must now provide a route towards political, social and economic stability in that country. In this regard, the political analyst Enrique Castillo affirms that after Castillo's dismissal "the conditions are in place" for there to be "a truce" between Congress and the new Executive. In conversation with "El Comercio", the analyst points out that, in a first gesture, the new President "must have the greatness to convene a broad-based ministerial cabinet, a technical and political cabinet that can establish a truce (with Parliament ) and a political dialogue that leads to reforms that allow new general elections to be called", since "it will be very difficult for the people to believe in this Congress with the mere fall of Castillo". He adds that these political and electoral reforms have to aim to prevent people "with some kind of past linked to corruption or other crimes" from running. "We cannot accept that senderistas, even though they have paid their sentences, can access public office, nor can characters related to subversion and sedition," he stresses. A transitional government Political scientist Kathy Zegarra recalls that presidents who did not have the support of a pro-government caucus in Congress did not complete their term. In this sense, she says that although Boluarte came to the Government Palace under the symbol of Peru Libre, she does not have her support and "it would have great difficulties to continue in power until 2026." "Under the situation we find ourselves in, of a political crisis and with a highly disapproved Parliament, it is better that she calls for new elections along with reforms," she says. He also says that one of the challenges for the new president will be to reach a consensus with the Legislature to make it possible to advance general elections, even more so when there is a sector of the opposition that does not contemplate this scenario. In addition, she maintains that "it is essential" that the political class "self-regulate and prioritize" democracy beyond their interests. "It is important that Boluarte generate a broad-based ministerial cabinet, with people who are not questioned, that was one of the main criticisms of the Castillo government. And on the side of Congress it is key that they stop being used permanently and as irresponsible measures of extreme political control, those measures that mean the breakdown of the balance of powers", he remarks. The expert explains that the "truce" between Congress and the Boluarte government should be understood as a time when Parliament can oversee and, at the same time, cooperate. "The powers control each other, but they also cooperate, it is important to have a minimum truce, prior to a call for general elections," she comments. Recovering the connection with the citizenry Political scientist José Luis Incio warns that "it is unlikely" that Boluarte will be able to sustain his government until 2026, mainly because he does not have the support of a majority bench in Parliament. "Boluarte has incentives to try to stay, but the context is not in her favor, the best thing she can do is to try to call new general elections in order to renew Congress and the Executive. And in that time generate a coalition in the Legislative Branch that gives it life", he maintains. https://www.emol.com/noticias/Internacional/2022/12/08/1080531/los-retos-de-dina-boluarte.html

(CNN) -- A long time ago, gigantic sea turtles swam Earth's seas. Until recently, these prehistoric animals, which reached a length of more than 3 meters from head to tail, were believed to only be found in the waters surrounding North America. Now, scientists have discovered a previously unknown species that is the largest European sea turtle ever identified. Why 99% of sea turtle hatchlings are now born female, according to scientists The species, initially found by a hiker who stumbled upon the remains in 2016 in the Pyrenees mountains of northern Spain, has been given the name Leviathanochelys aenigmatica. "Leviathan" is the biblical term for a sea monster, alluding to the large size of the creature's body. "Chelys" translates to turtle and "aenigmática" translates to enigma, referring to the turtle's peculiar characteristics, the authors wrote in a paper published Thursday in the journal Scientific Reports. The presence of this unusual animal in this part of the prehistoric world reveals that giant tortoises were more common than previously thought, according to the study. Before the discovery, the largest European species measured just 1.5 meters in length, similar to modern leatherbacks, which weigh an average of 300 to 500 kilograms and measure between one and two meters, according to the Smithsonian Institution. However, bone fragments from this newly identified species have led scientists to estimate that Leviathanochelys had a 3.7-meter-long body, almost as big as an average sedan. "We never thought it was possible to find something like this. After a long study of the bone fragments, we realized that there were some totally different traits, which were not present in any other fossil of a turtle species discovered so far," he said. Albert Sellés, co-author of the study and a postdoctoral researcher at the Miquel Crusafont Catalan Institute of Paleontology at the Autonomous University of Barcelona, in Spain. Bones full of information Initially, the researchers believed that the bones belonged to another type of animal, according to Sellés. "It's quite common to find bone fragments, a lot of them. But most of them provide little information," Sellés said. "It's quite rare to discover something that really tells you a little about life in the past." A local museum and the Catalan Ministry of Culture had originally collected the bone specimens, but these went unstudied for nearly five years. When Sellés and the other researchers began studying the bones in 2021, they realized they were dealing with a completely new species of sea turtle to science, and they quickly returned to the site for further excavation. There, more fragments of the specimen were discovered, including pieces of the pelvis and shell. With these findings, the scientists observed more features that they had not previously seen in any living or dead species. "The main differences of this new fossil are related to the pelvic region. More specifically, with a pair of bony protrusions present in the anterior part of the pelvis, which we suspect are related to some type of muscle that controls the movement of the region. of the turtle," Sellés said. https://cnnespanol.cnn.com/2022/11/29/tortuga-gigante-descubrimiento-europa-trax/

Aston Martin DBX 707: Powertrain Of course the tastiest thing is the engine, a four-liter V8 Twin Turbo, which is delivered by Mercedes-AMG, but has been given some English tricks and developments, courtesy of Ralph Illenberger, the head of powertrain engineering at Aston Martin. Still, it ranks above the Lamborghini Urus, the Bentley Bentayga Speed, and the Porsche Cayenne Turbo GT. Of course, it will be necessary to see how it performs together with the Ferrari Purosangue, which, although it did not provide exact figures, declares 715 Hp, a 0 to 100 in 3.3 seconds and a top speed of over 310 km/h. Twin turbochargers now have ball-bearing turbines, which spin faster and allow for greater elasticity and durability. The engine was completely recalibrated to get more power. New nine-speed transmission with wet clutch, which holds more power and has a much more direct delivery: This box is key, since it is what allows the engine power to increase to 696 Hp and 900 Nm, 200 Nm more than the normal DBX. With this box, the DBX 707 can reach 100 km/h in 3.3 seconds. In manual mode, it holds changes just like a traditional box: if you need to go to the cut or bury the revs a little more, no problem. The Launch Control (Race Start) system is available in GT Sport and Sport+ modes. In addition, electronic traction management and ESP have been improved for a more natural feel. The rear differential (e-diff) has been strengthened and has a shorter gear ratio (3.27 versus the DBX V8's 3.07) that helps with acceleration. Although the AWD system maintains its automatic management, it can send 100% of the torque to the rear wheels. “With this exceptional new model, we have truly unlocked the performance potential within the DBX to create a high-performance SUV that surpasses everything. The huge gains we've found in both power and torque demonstrate not only the inherent prowess of the 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8, but also Aston Martin's appetite for and ability to find uncompromising engineering solutions. The combination of this magnificent engine with a new nine-speed wet-clutch transmission lies at the heart of the DBX 707's formidable capabilities and unforgettable character," said Ralph Illenberger, Aston Martin's Head of Powertrain. Aston Martin DBX 707: chassis “Creating the latest SUV presented formidable challenges for our engineering team. Too often, this class of car is characterized by an obsession with brute force. With the DBX 707, our aim was to match immense performance with impeccable control and precision, combined with a genuine sporty character essential to all Aston Martin models. To this end, we apply an uncompromising approach to every area of the vehicle. The engine, transmission, suspension, brakes, electronic systems and aerodynamics have all undergone extensive upgrades and meticulous tuning. The result is a car that sets new standards and further distinguishes the DBX from its class rivals,” added Drummond Jacoy, Aston Martin Head of Engineering and Vehicle Procurement. Better brakes: 420mm carbon/ceramic discs up front and 390mm at the rear, with six-piston calipers, better cooling, and an upgrade to the hydraulics. It brakes better, has better resistance to temperature and also helps to lose 40.5 kilos. The brakes take air from the main rack and also from the ground Better wheels: 22" wheels are standard, with two designs. But you can ask for 23" alloy wheels, which are lighter and allow, depending on the brand, a better balance of the car. Air suspension, inherited from the DBX, but with adjustments to the damping valves and springs. The touch of the electric steering was improved, which allows a better reading of what the car is doing and also, being able to better anticipate its behavior in stronger maneuvers. Thanks to the stiffer car and quicker pneumatic management, the car leans less, sways less and this makes the DBX 707 easier to accommodate. These improvements also work with the electronic anti-roll system, so they also contribute to safety. Suspension management, ESP, exhaust sound and transmission are now regulated out of the box with direct access buttons – no more navigating through different menus. Aston Martin DBX 707: dimensions and design Length: 5,039mm Width: 1,998mm Height: 1,680mm Between axles: 3,060 mm Trunk: 632 L To celebrate all the performance improvements, the DBX 707 differs from the regular DBX with a more aggressive design. To start with, the front is huge, with a large grill, many air intakes and cooling ducts for the brakes. This grill of course also helps in cooling the engine and gearbox. The new DRL lights also contribute to differentiate it from the original model. In the profile, we see elements in dark satin chrome, which combine with other elements in carbon fiber or piano black. The skirts have also been redesigned to match the more aggressive styling of the 707. To complete the more poised and bulging stance, Aston Martin makes available massive 22" wheels and an optional 23" set. The rear also debuts important changes. To improve both aesthetic form and aerodynamic function, a new spoiler has been added to reduce lift and increase high-speed stability, to which is added a larger dual rear diffuser that rises to meet the new airfoil system. more aggressive sounding quad exhaust. In turn, the new rear bumper incorporates vents integrated into the side panel. “Key to the DBX 707's design DNA is capturing the confidence that comes from its dynamic supremacy. When you're the alpha SUV, you don't have to try too hard, so we concentrated on those design areas that would make the DBX 707 instantly recognizable as the top performing model. Function naturally drives some of the changes, most notably the larger grille opening, rear spoiler and optional 23-inch wheels, but in other places, like the side skirts and rear bumper, we express the immense performance of the DBX 707 in ways that create a more aggressive stance and more muscular image. The result is a design that exudes power while maintaining our commitment to clean lines and perfect proportions. DBX 707 is a true performance beast, but retains the beauty and elegance you expect from Aston Martin's DNA," said Marek Reichman, Aston Martin's Creative Director. https://noticias.autocosmos.cl/2022/12/07/aston-martin-dbx-707-uno-de-los-suv-mas-rapidos-del-mundo-ya-esta-en-chile
