We travel to Atlanta, Georgia to see first hand an important model for Mexico, it is the Chevrolet Blazer, which will be manufactured in our country at the Ramos Arizpe Coahuila plant. Blazer besides having an emblematic name has been a differentiating model of the Chevrolet range, since in its beginnings back in the seventies it dared to make fun and functional proposals, for example a pickup with completely removable roof and many 4X4 capacities . Over the years the Blazer was refined, and went from being an extreme version of a pick up to a utility vehicle with more orientation to human transport, than the cargo and thus became a medium SUV. In the Mexican market we knew her as Trail Blazer. Well as we discussed, General Motors decides to revive the name Blazer -without the Trail-, and presents a completely new product, with an aggressive appearance and a functional design, in a vehicle with the SUV / Crossover denomination of two rows of seats for five passengers During the static presentation we met two equipment options, the most visually aggressive is the so-called RS with sporty tones and black accents and large wheels that remind us of the Camaro and the Premier version that is focused more on elegance and touches of chrome. None has the aggressive pretensions and Off Road that its predecessors had, now is focused on a market of high, spacious and comfortable vehicles, but 100% designed for use on pavement, the two versions were equipped with systems of all-wheel drive (AWD) Two available engines will be in the new 2019 Blazer, a four-cylinder 2.5-liter that delivers 193 hp of force and a torque of 188 lb-ft. The second power plant is a 3.6-liter V6 that delivers 305 hp and 269 lb-ft. Both engines will be coupled to a conventional nine-speed automatic transmission. As we commented at the beginning of this note, the Blazer will be available until 2019, and we do not know if its presentation in society in the USA. will be at the next Salon de Los Angeles, to be held in the last quarter of 2018, or in the Detroit Show that will be held in the first month of 2019, where we will surely know the final production versions. The models we saw were preproduction, but already with the details of equipment and well-defined materials, and within the few we could know we discovered that it has the technologies on board that the customer demands, for example induction charging system for telephones, virtual board, many USB connectors, OnStar system and as we have already specified it will be manufactured in Mexico.

Víctor Clark indicated that Venezuela is prepared to face any action coming from the Colombian chancellery, because in his opinion; "They do not have the support" Venezuela will continue its unstoppable course of promoting the Bolivarian diplomacy of peace for the peoples of the world, despite the constant aggressions of the United States and Colombia. "We are going to continue in our Bolivarian diplomacy, in our diplomacy of peace and will have at the forefront of all the defense of each instance.

It seems that mobile gaming is a trend, at least from the point of view of marketing, because it is not clear that many people are willing to pay 700 or 800 € for a mobile to play. These devices have to be seen as a high-end smartphone with extra power for gaming, and from this point of view the Razor Phone 2 is very attractive. The first Razer Phone was launched last year, and was well received by critics and users alike. Razer has decided to continue betting on mobiles to play, because the new Razer Phone 2 already has an official filing date: October 10. We had the opportunity to analyze the Razer Phone a few months ago and, except for a series of specific issues, we were satisfied with the experience. Discover the pros and cons in our Razer Phone Analysis. The Razer Phone is a high-end smarphone with the overclocked processor (higher clock speed), screen with a variable refresh rate and up to 120 Hz, and improved speakers. What new features will the new Razer Phone 2 bring? Not too many aspects of the hardware have been filtered, except for its processor. In front of Snapdragon 835 with 8 GB of its predecessor, the new Razer Phone 2 could mount to SnapDragon 845 with 8 GB of RAM, also overclocked. Although at first it was said that Razer could bet on the new Snapdragon 855 processor from Qualcomm, maybe it was a decision too hasty. A mobile for gaming has to perform at maximum and, therefore, warms up more than others, so it seems risky to use a completely new processor that you do not know how it will perform. It is much more logical to use an already contrasted SoC such as the Snapdragon 845, which already knows its heat and temperature dissipation requirements, and you can adjust the overclocking to the maximum. And on the other hand, it's still an extremely powerful processor. This and other data will be revealed next October 10, when the Razer Phone 2 is presented: It seems that mobile gaming has come to stay, so it is very likely that in the coming months we will start to see how other companies copy the philosophy of the Razer Phone.

The music recognition service of Google is as much present in Google Assistant as in the latest Pixel, although there is still a lot of work to be done. Now Google has announced improvements in its music recognition service known as Sound Search, which can be used in both Google Assistant and the Google Search app for any song that is playing. The improvements are inherited from the functionality called Now Playing that debuted with the Pixel 2. Sound Search runs on Google's own servers and can recognize a multitude of songs, and differs from the Now Searching functionality of the Pixels in that the latter runs on the devices themselves without even requiring an Internet connection. With this, Google has taken to Sound Search the progress made in Now Playing, in order to continue expanding its possibilities on any device with Android. Along with the above, the size of the neural networks used in Now Playing have also been multiplied by four to identify the songs. This way it is no longer necessary to have a Pixel 2 to take advantage of Google's music recognition functionality, since now any other device with Android can make use of the advanced functionality both through the Google assistant and through the Google Search application.

The CEO of Huawei, Richard Yu, today made some surprising statements to the German media Die Welt, which states that Huawei will present in 2019 a folding mobile that will replace the PC. Richard Yu says they are developing a mobile phone with a folding screen that when deployed has a similar size to the screen of a PC. We assume that it refers to a laptop ... He also stressed that "it will not be another year before we present it." Huawei is disputed with Samsung being the first to launch a folding smartphone. In this video you can see the prototype that Samsung presented ... in 2012: There are rumors that Huawei has closed a deal with the Chinese panel manufacturer Beijing Oriental Electronics (BOE) to provide a significant amount of folding OLED screens in early 2019. Asked about it by Die Welt, the CEO of Huawei has said that "we are working on it, they will not have to wait another year". The most remarkable of his statements is that Huawei's alleged mobile phone would have a screen equivalent to that of a PC. "Why are you still using a computer?" Possibly because the mobile screen is too small for your needs, we're going to change that, "it's realistic that a screen can bend," said Richard Yu. Samsung is the main candidate company to trade a folding smartphone. It is rumored that he will present it next November, perhaps at the CES fair in January. Although the most logical thing is to reserve it for the MWC of Barcelona, at the end of February. The so-called Galaxy F could have a screen size of 4.5 inches folded, and 7.3 inches deployed. It would also include a curved battery. Of course, the price would skyrocket to $ 1,900. It seems that in addition to the screen, folding smartphones will also have the price of a PC ... high-end ....

If during the last days you have found that the energy saving mode on your Android phone has been activated automatically, it has not been a virus, but it has been Google itself that has changed you, without wanting to, that configuration . And is that some Android users noticed in recent days that his phone was doing weird things, all related to energy saving mode. When this mode is activated, the applications have stopped updating in the background, the location services have stopped working when the screen is blocked or the notifications of the apps have arrived with a certain delay. This is because Google accidentally enabled the battery saving function remotely on some phones with the new Android Pie operating system, even activating this configuration on devices that were fully charged, so there was no sense. Google Pixel team has clarified that "an internal test was extended by mistake to more users than expected." In the face of this, Google has reverted the battery saving settings to the default values for all affected users, so you should confirm if you have activated or deactivated it. Among the devices that reportedly have been affected, are the Google Pixel, OnePlus 6, the Essential Phone and some Nokia 7+ devices. And is that both Google and Apple can remotely force updates or changes to Android and iOS devices to protect users in critical situations. This way you already have an explanation if your Android mobile phone has been behaving in a strange way a few days ago, although luckily it seems that the problem has been solved.

This hardware is now enabled by default as part of the web authentication API, so that In the sites that implement the API, the Android sensor or the Touch ID can be used to carry out two-factor authentication. Thanks to this, when the user enters their credentials to log on to a web page, the system may request that they confirm their identity using the fingerprint, as you can see in the image above these lines.

Trump, who spent months assuring that the neighboring country would pay a border wall, now uses foreign aid to stop the arrival of undocumented immigrants The government of Donald Trump plans to grant 20 million dollars in aid to Mexico to accelerate the deportation of irregular immigrants in that country and prevent them from reaching the United States. The decision supposes a blow of reality and a drastic turn of Trump. As an electoral candidate, the Republican promised until the exhaustion that Mexico would pay for the construction of a border wall, something that the neighboring country has rejected outright. And as president he has repeatedly accused him of passivity in controlling his border with Guatemala. Now, however, it is the US that pays Mexico. The Trump Administration has decided to use part of the foreign aid funds of the Department of State to transfer them to the Department of Homeland Security to toughen, through the border country, its immigration policy. The 20 million dollars will be used to deport up to 17,000 undocumented immigrants in Mexico, according to a notification from the US government to Congress. The Department of Homeland Security estimates that the new funds may lead to a 10% increase in the expulsion of Latin American immigrants by the Mexican authorities. "This one-time assistance will help the Mexican government address and potentially deter irregular migrant flows, which will help prevent illegal immigrants from entering the United States through the southern border," Interior Security writes in a statement. The Mexican authorities will be responsible for arresting and deporting immigrants in accordance with national and international laws, but it will be the USA that will completely finance the planes and buses with which the undocumented will be transferred to their countries of origin or citizenship. The vast majority of irregular immigrants arriving in the United States are Central Americans traveling through Mexico in a desperate and dangerous journey. Estimates suggest that some 400,000 people transit through Mexico to the United States each year. By facilitating deportations in that country, the goal of the Trump government is that fewer undocumented people reach the world's leading power. The aid also establishes that all immigrants who are suspected of terrorism should be expelled, although there are few of them. "This proposal is part of a multifaceted effort to address the crisis on our southern border. We are working closely with our Mexican counterparts to directly confront the growing apprehensions on the border, "said Katie Waldman, Interior Security spokesperson. The Department warns that this month have increased 38% of the arrests of families after entering the US irregularly. And he maintains that legal limitations have prevented the authorities from deporting up to 94,000 immigrants arrested last year and still in the United States. Trump complains that laws and sentences prevent him from quickly expelling immigrants and now he wants to reinforce Mexico's role as gendarme in the south. It is a step similar to that already taken in the past by the governments of George W. Bush and Barack Obama. The US and Mexico agreed in 2008 on the so-called Merida Initiative, in which Washington grants millionaire aid in the fight against drug trafficking and border control in the neighboring country. And in 2014, the Obama Administration reinforced those efforts with a new plan that has led Mexico to monitor its southern border with Guatemala with much more force. The effect was huge: in 2015 and 2016 Mexico deported more immigrants than the US. Trump has made the demonization of immigration a pillar of his presidency. It has facilitated the expulsions and has restricted immigration programs, but many of its most controversial measures have been stalled by the rejection of Congress, the courts or public opinion. His plan to build a wall with Mexico has barely received funding from lawmakers and Justice forced him to lower his initial veto to immigrants from Muslim-majority countries. In April Trump pushed for a controversial directive separating families of undocumented immigrants on the border, but political and social pressure in June forced the president to repeal it.

Apple has presented its new iPhone, the iPhone Xs, iPhone Xs Max and iPhone Xr, three new phones that will seek to be the kings of this 2018 in terms of performance (gross power) and cameras. However, the new iPhone models not only compete against the rest of the market, but against themselves. Therefore, we are going with a comparison between the iPhone Xs and the iPhone Xr. And that is, the rumors have been fulfilled and Apple has shown three new iPhone. Two of them, the iPhone Xs and iPhone Xs Max, are the new high-end mobile phones from Cupertino. They have the latest technology born in the '' spaceship '' of Californians and are a clear advantage over the iPhone X in all and each one of the aspects. The iPhone Xr, which Apple has saved until the end of the conference, was the third in contention. According to the rumors, it was the '' cheap '' iPhone with an outdated processor, but with the design of the iPhone X. However, it has not been like that, and the heart of the iPhone Xr will be the A12 Bionic, the same as the one of the two other models. Of course, do you think there are no differences? There are, and they are remarkable. Therefore, we tell you what the iPhone Xr lacks to be the iPhone Xs. iPhone Xs vs. iPhone Xr, this is missing from Apple's '' small '' Apple, as always, has not given data on the amount of RAM of their new iPhone. We also do not know how many mAh the batteries will have, and to know these details, we will have to wait for the new iPhone to reach the market on September 21st. What we do know is the processor that the new iPhone will use. This is the A12 Bionic, a SoC '' made in Apple '' that combines a six-core CPU with a GPU 50% faster than the iPhone X on a 7-nanometer chip that is more efficient than the previous generation. As you can see, the main difference is on the screen and the main cameras. The OLED screen of the iPhone X is superb, and that of the iPhone Xs and iPhone Xs Max promises to be even more spectacular. The technology used for the iPhone Xr screen is LCD, but Apple promises that it will be the best LCD on the market. Another point that differentiates them is the number of pixels per inch, which gives us, at the end, the feeling of greater clarity in the iPhone Xs. The cameras are also quite different. Although Apple promises they have the software to get a good portrait mode with the only camera on the iPhone Xr, the two cameras of the iPhone Xs have an advantage in this regard. In addition, they allow an optical zoom of two magnifications, something impossible for the camera of the iPhone Xr. Phone Xr, what it needs to be an iPhone Xs In the end, they are two details that make the difference between the three devices. The biggest difference between the two models of iPhone Xs is the battery and the size of the screen. Everything else is exactly the same. When we compare the iPhone Xs with the iPhone Xr, the differences are greater in screen quality and performance of the cameras. Now, we will have to wait until both terminals are put on sale, on September 21 the iPhone Xs and October 26 the iPhone Xr, to be able to compare both phones face to face. Oh! The price is another difference. And, while the iPhone Xs part of the 1,259 euros, the iPhone Xr will do it from 859 euros.

Windows 10 Insider Preview 1890, the latest version of Windows 10, has now begun to interrupt the installation of Chrome and Firefox with a message that promotes Microsoft Edge. It is no secret that Microsoft tries to favor the use of your browser by all means. In fact, last March the controversy was sown after the publication of the previous version of Windows 10, where emails from the Windows 10 Mail application opened in Edge, regardless of the default browser that the user had configured. After the complaints received, the American corporation finally changed its mind and introduced an option to configure this feature in Windows 10 Mail, although its intention to promote Microsoft Edge at any price was clear. Buy a laptop with Windows 10 at the best price on Amazon Spain And, although the Redmond company defends that Edge is the best navigation software for Windows 10, its arguments fail to convince users to go to your browser. According to the report of StatCounter, as far as desktop browsers are concerned, Edge ranks fourth with only 4.24% of the market share, behind Internet Explorer with 7.02%, of Firefox with 10.97% and a long distance from Chrome, leading alone with 67.63%. Now, the new ploy Microsoft has chosen is to interrupt the installation of competitive browsers with a message that reads: "You already have Microsoft Edge, the safest and fastest browser for Windows 10." Under the text appear two buttons, one to open the Microsoft browser (highlighted in blue), and another to continue with the installation of other developers' browser (in gray). This behavior has been detected in the latest version of Windows 10 for insiders, Windows 10 Insider Preview 1890, and although it offers an option to not see the warning in the future, it is still annoying. At the moment we do not know if this warning will remain when the next big update, Windows 10 October 2018 Update, is published next month.

Mercedes-Benz has bet in recent years to incorporate more fresh designs in order to capture the attention of a younger and enthusiastic public; This is how the fourth generation of the brand's compact hatchback makes its arrival in the country, with a fusion of a more youthful and aggressive design, as well as elegant, where mechanical, aesthetic and technological elements stood out as the main elements in this renovation. Bold design ... At first glance we noticed an avant-garde sketch with simple but very well defined lines that favor that sporty aspect that Mercedes wishes to highlight, of course, without losing all that characteristic character of the Benz name. On the front we find new high performance LED headlights that accentuate the large grille where the brand logo rests, while the chest gives us the impression of having a more prominent forward inclination angle; in the back the skulls are responsible for widening the sketch not only optically, but also in measurements, a combination that achieves a slightly more muscular design than its previous generation. Well accomplished interior ... The changes in the interior are perhaps the most notorious in terms of aesthetics, because it incorporates two screens, one corresponding to the board, which is completely digital, while the other belongs to the info-entertainment system with measures ranging from 7 up to 10.25 inches depending on the version to choose. The center console is redefined to be more modern, just as the ambient light makes its role by incorporating 64 different colors to choose from to customize the interior of the passenger compartment, which now looks much fresher and more refined. A flash of artificial intelligence ... For this model it was decided to include the technology MBUX (Mercedes-Benz User Experience) which translates into a new way of driving your car, because this system is able to recognize the user's way of handling to adapt to their needs. All this is possible through artificial intelligence that recognizes frequent journeys, favorite music to adjust automatically with the appropriate radio station or show a faster route to your destination; In short, it's like having an emotional connection with your car. It should be noted that it has all the necessary security equipment for all its versions, where some add assistance systems such as: Active Distant Assist, which controls the speed of the vehicle to maintain the proper distance en route. Activate Emergency Stop Assist, if the driver enters a state of drowsiness, the vehicle can drive automatically braking gradually and activating an emergency alert. Active Lane Change Assist, which helps maintenance and safe lane changes. Activate Brake Assist, which prevents a possible collision by activating the braking automatically by activating the brake lights intermittently. The motorization ... For this model is contemplated the inclusion of two different engines, where the first corresponds to a turbocharged four-cylinder 1332 cc (1.3 liters) capable of developing 163 horsepower, coupled with an automatic seven relations, which will be incorporated for the A200 version in three different levels of equipment (Style, Progressive and Sport). The motorization ...

On the other hand, the turbocharged 2.0-liter 224-horsepower engine also arrives in our country through a seven-speed automatic double-clutch transmission, which will be used for the sport variant, the A250 Sport Edition 1, which already includes a aesthetic kit, AMG line components and Edition Green special color highlights in some parts of the body.

Facebook has announced that it has developed an artificial intelligence that will help moderators identify offensive memes published by users. Currently, social networks have taken seriously monitoring the content published by users to prevent insults and humiliation. Last April, Facebook revealed its secret rules to censor publications, so that anyone can see what is allowed and what is not on the platform. Thus, according to the community norms of Facebook, violent behaviors or criminal behaviors of any kind are prohibited; encourage suicide or self-harm, nudity and sexual exploitation, bullying or harassment; It also prohibits behaviors that attempt against integrity and authenticity, and requires respect for intellectual property; In addition, the publication of questionable content, such as hate speech or incitement to hatred, violence or cruel and insensitive content, is not allowed. To prevent this type of behavior, Facebook has a staff of human moderators, who are responsible for reviewing the content reported by other people and monitor that users comply with community standards. However, taking into account the millions of content that are shared on Facebook every day, it is not easy to detect those that violate the terms and conditions. And this is where Rosetta comes in, the AI that Facebook has created to identify offensive memes, photos and videos automatically and intelligently. Rosetta is able to extract the text of more than one billion images published on Facebook and Instagram, in a variety of languages, daily and in real time. Then, he introduces it in a model trained to understand the text and the image as a whole, and so he can know if it is a harmless content or if it violates community norms. A great help so that the platform can avoid inappropriate publications being shared.

As of November 2018, Audi will begin deliveries of the new Audi Q3 of 2018, the second generation of this compact SUV. For the signature of the four rings the new Audi Q3 of 2018 is very important, since the German brand has sold more than one million units of its predecessor, the Audi Q3 first generation that has been on sale between 2011 and 2018 . This new Audi Q3 of 2018 is a completely new model for many reasons. For starters, it has an innovative design. However, what is new is what you do not see. We talk, among other things, about the structure, the platform that is new. In addition, the factory where it is assembled, which stops doing so in Barcelona, since the Seat plant receives the Audi A1. We analyze all the details below. New Audi Q3 2018: MQB platform Starting with the platform, while the previous Q3, on sale between 2011 and 2017, used the Golf V platform, this new model incorporates the MQB modular structure. It is a platform that incorporates the latest models of the German brand and the Volkswagen group and has been used by some SUVs such as the Seat Ateca or the Volkswagen Tiguan, among others. The inclusion of this new platform has made this Q3 grow in almost all its heights. Thus, for example, now it has a length of 4.48 meters, a width of 1.85 meters and a height of 1.58 meters. If we take these measurements and compare them with the previous Audi Q3 we see that this new Audi Q3 2018 is, mainly, longer. Specifically, they are about 10 centimeters longer than their predecessor. It is also somewhat wider (about 2 centimeters). The height remains practically intact. With these dimensions, we can point out that the new Audi Q3 2018 is, above all, very similar in size to the new Volkswagen Tiguan. It is practically identical to the Tiguan at least in length and width. Yes there is more difference in height, since this new Audi Q3 is lower (8 centimeters). Of the largest in the segment With these dimensions, the new Audi Q3 of 2019 competes with the compact premium SUV.

This greater battle reaches the 2.68 meters. This means that it is 8 centimeters longer than the first generation Q3. And, also, as a curiosity, we are talking about the same battle that the Volkswagen Tiguan. Hence we can point out that the Audi Q3 and the Volkswagen Tiguan have so many elements in common. According to Audi, this greater wheelbase means that it has a greater interior space, both for the head and for the legs. Also, the rear bench has now longitudinal adjustment and moves 15 centimeters. In addition, the seats have seven regulation positions and are divided into 40/20/40. Good boot This increased wheelbase and longer length has allowed the Audi Q3 to grow in cargo space. In this way, the trunk of the new Audi Q3 has a maximum capacity ranging from 530 liters, to 675 liters, depending on the position of the seats. This means a growth of more than 200 liters compared to the previous generation. Below we detail the ranking of the category ordered from highest to lowest boot capacity: • Audi Q3 (675 liters) • Volkswagen Tiguan (615 meters) • Land Rover Range Rover Evoque (550 liters) • BMW X1 (505 liters) • Volvo XC40 (460 liters) • Mercedes-Benz GLA (421 liters) Motors As for the range of engines, initially this new Audi Q3 2019 will be available with more gasoline than diesel mechanics.

In addition, Quattro all-wheel drive will also be available. As for the interior, the most striking thing is that the instrument panel is always digital. Initially, it will start with a 10.2-inch digital cockpit that can be extended up to 12.3 inches if equipped with the MMI Navigation Plus system. In addition, those units that mount the larger digital instrument panel will also be accompanied by a 10.1-inch digital central display (the less-equipped versions have an 8.8-inch screen). In relation to the attendants to the driving and technology, this new Audi Q3 2018 can incorporate the notice of involuntary change of lane, the Audi pre sense fornt, the assistant of adaptive speed, the assistant in congested traffic or Audi traffic jam assist, Audi Active lane assist ... Of all of them it should be noted that the Audi pre sense front, what it does is by means of a radar to detect possible pedestrians, cyclists and other vehicles allowing thus to warn the coder through visual and acoustic signals. Other novelties of this new Audi Q3 compared to the first Q3 that was manufactured in Martorell, in the Seat factory, this new Audi Q3 is now manufactured in the Hungarian plant of Györ.
