En el mercado podemos encontrar un gran número de modelos de mini PC de todos los tamaños y prestaciones, incluyendo equipos enfocados al público gaming como el que recientemente ha lanzado ASUS. Sin embargo, cabe la posibilidad de que ninguna de las opciones disponibles supla nuestras necesidades y nos veamos obligados a montar nuestro propio equipo, una tarea relativamente compleja que, a partir de ahora, es mucho más fácil gracias a Minisforum y la placa base con procesador integrado que acaba de presentar. Minisforum es uno de los fabricantes de mini PC más veterano de la industria, un fabricante que tiene una amplia gama de productos de este tipo en el mercado para satisfacer cualquier necesidad. También ofrece una amplia gama de placas para que cualquier usuario monte su propio mini PC, una gama a la que tenemos que sumar una nueva de la mano de la BD790i ITX. Nueva placa base BD790i ITX para mini PCs Esta nueva placa base con formato iTX ya incluye procesador, por lo que ya tenemos la mitad de los componentes del PC listos para montar. Concretamente lleva el procesador móvil AMD Ryzen 9 7945H, con 16 núcleos y 32 hilos de proceso que funcionan a una frecuencia máxima de 5,4 GHz y fabricado en un proceso de 5 nm. Además, ya incluye el disipador del procesador a través de un sistema de ventilación de 12 cm que enfría el procesador y prácticamente toda la placa base por lo que el calor no será un problema. En cuanto a la gráfica, hablamos de la AMD Radeon 610M, por lo que si quieres montar un mini PC para jugar con esta placa, no es la mejor opción, a no ser que utilicemos la ranura PCIe 5.0 x 16 para conectar una gráfica, aunque entonces, la idea del mini PC deja de serlo, dependiendo de que tarjeta gráfica utilicemos. La placa ofrece soporte para 2 ranuras de memoria DDR5 formato SO-DIMM y admite un máximo de 64 GB a 5.200 MHz. Si hablamos del almacenamiento, esta placa incluye dos ranuras PCIe 5.0 M.2. con factor forma 2280, por lo que podremos instalar los últimos y más rápidos SSD que hay en el mercado actualmente, y esencialmente con la capacidad que queramos (o nos podamos permitir, porque los SSD PCIe 5.0 son bastante caros por ahora). En cuanto a opciones de conectividad, la nueva placa de Minisforum incluye un módulo inalámbrico compatible con WiFi 6E y soporte para Bluetooth 5.3. También incluye un puerto RJ45 ethernet a 2.5 G, un puerto de salida HDMI 2.1, un puerto DisplayPort 1.4, un puerto USB-C y un conectar jack para auriculares. Incluye dos puertos USB 3.0 tipo A y dos puertos USB 2.0 tipo A para conectar periféricos. Precio y disponibilidad Minisforum ofrece la posibilidad de comprar la placa de forma independiente pagando 457 euros (3.599 yuanes). Pero, si no queremos complicarnos la vida, podemos comprar el equipo con todos los componentes, es decir, con la máxima memoria que soporte, 64 GB con 1 TB almacenamiento por 673 euros y con 2 TB de almacenamiento por 732 euros. Estos precios corresponden a la conversión de yuanes a euros al cambio de hoy, por lo que no incluyen impuestos. De momento, el fabricante no ha anunciado una fecha concreta de disponibilidad, pero lo hará en las próximas semanas y desde aquí os informaremos puntualmente. Si estás buscando una placa ITX potente, la opción que ofrece Minisforum es una interesante opción a considerar. https://hardzone.es/noticias/equipos/minisforum-placas-cpu-integrada-mini-pc/

Del mismo modo que sucede con los textos o las imágenes, en determinadas ocasiones podemos necesitar detectar aquellas composiciones musicales que se han generado mediante una Inteligencia Artificial. Debido a los avances de estas plataformas cada vez es más complicado, por lo que quizás tengamos que echar mano de software de terceros como los que os vamos a mostrar ahora. Y es que a lo largo de los últimos tiempos la música generada a través de alguna IA ha evolucionado de manera importante. Esto hace accesible la composición de estos elementos musicales a cualquier usuario que se lo proponga y conozca un poco la tecnología. De ahí precisamente que cada vez sea más complicado identificar la música creada con IA sin echar mano de aplicaciones de terceros. A continuación os vamos a hablar de algunas interesantes soluciones que funcionan a través del navegador para estas tareas y así no dejaros engañar. Si queremos llevar a cabo este tipo de comprobaciones de manera manual, siempre podemos cambiar la velocidad de la pista. Hay que tener en cuenta que las voces de las canciones generadas por IA a veces son incoherentes al acelerar o ralentizar el tema. Con todo y con ello puede ser una tarea complicada, de ahí la utilidad de los programas que os mostramos a continuación. Además, hay que tener en consideración que para utilizar estas aplicaciones web que os comentamos no necesitamos conocimientos avanzados ni de música ni de Inteligencia Artificial. Es interesante destacar que es compatible con algunos de los principales formatos de archivo de sonido tales como MP3, WAV o FLAC. No tenemos más que subir el fichero como tal para plataforma para que empiece el proceso de detección. Además, esta es una alternativa que tenemos la posibilidad de utilizar de forma totalmente gratuita para obtener los resultados que buscamos. No tenemos más que cargar la plataforma desde este enlace. AI Voice Detector Esta es una herramienta muy interesante para estas tareas que podemos usar directamente desde el navegador. Podemos afirmar que es una de las más po[CENSORED]res y potentes en este sentido y se centra en identificar voces generadas por IA. De ahí que sea tan útil para averiguar si una canción se ha creado utilizando algún tipo de Inteligencia Artificial. Basta con que accedamos a este enlace. También podemos usarla a través de una extensión que instalamos en el propio navegador, aunque hay que tener en cuenta que nos encontramos ante una herramienta de pago. Una vez conocemos ambas propuestas, dependiendo de las necesidades y usos a la hora de detectar la música crea por IA, podremos decantarnos por una alternativa u otra. Hay que tener en cuenta que hay una de pago y otra gratuita, aunque lo mejor que podemos hacer es probar varias muestras para ver la que más se adapta a nuestras necesidades. https://www.softzone.es/noticias/metabits/aplicaciones-identificar-musica-ia/

En una era repleta de nostalgia y metroidvanias, puede resultar difícil destacar. Afortunadamente, hay un juego para los amantes de lo retro y de este género que vale mucho la pena: Turbo Kid. Inspirado en la película de 2015 del mismo nombre, esta entrega presenta una nueva historia y un mundo que en el inicio nos pareció intimidante, pero al poco tiempo nos hizo sentir como peces en el agua. Si hacemos una lista con todo lo que un gran metroidvania debe tener, Turbo Kid aprueba con honores en casi todos los puntos. El juego desborda carisma, respeta la obra en la que está inspirado, nos da mucha libertad, tiene un combate muy divertido, su [CENSORED] de dificultad es excelente, la historia tiene momentos muy interesantes, presenta un pixel art y una música maravillosos y es una gozada explorar su mundo. La historia de Turbo Kid toma lugar en el Páramo, a finales de los noventa y en un ambiente postapocalíptico, similar al de la franquicia Mad Max. Por lo mismo, predominan la tristeza, la violencia y la inseguridad, y hay mucha, pero mucha arena. Nuestro protagonista es Turbo Kid, un chico obsesionado con los cómics y que usa un disfraz inspirado en su ídolo: Turbo Rider. Este detalle nos encantó porque, a pesar de que parece que en el mundo no hay esperanza, este joven se mueve gracias a su amor y pasión por el personaje. Debido a que el título está inspirado en una película, que al mismo tiempo toma referencias de los 90, la música y el arte son fantásticos. Las canciones fueron compuestas por la misma persona que se encargó del soundtrack de la cinta (Le Matos), y son temas de synthpop fascinantes que resultan perfectos para la temática del mundo. La aventura comienza en el desierto mientras andamos en nuestra bicicleta, cuando de repente, unos ladrones nos atacan y roban nuestro vehículo, machete y más posesiones. Afortunadamente, una científica llamada Naomi nos rescata y lleva a su laboratorio, que está ubicado en la ciudad de New Hope, donde hay tiendas, NPC y más elementos que nos ayudarán en el viaje que emprenderemos. Tras familiarizarnos un poco con el pueblo, partimos en búsqueda de lo que los ladrones nos robaron, y descubrimos más sobre el Páramo y sus alrededores. Todas las zonas están interconectadas, pero tienen varios elementos que los distinguen; desde los fondos hasta los enemigos que nos atacan sin piedad. Para eliminarlos, tenemos el Turboguante, que es básicamente el cañón de Mega Man, y nos ayuda a abrirnos camino y sobrevivir a todo peligro. El inicio del juego es un poco lineal debido a que carecemos de lo necesario para abrirnos paso por el Páramo y las zonas aledañas, pero una vez que recuperamos el machete, nuestra BMX y la habilidad de recargar nuestros disparos, la elección de nuestro siguiente paso es totalmente nuestra. A partir de aquí, Naomi nos dice que para escapar de este horrible mundo necesitamos 4 chips de poder que se encuentran en la Zona de Patinaje, en la Chatarrería, en las Alcantarillas y el otro se desconoce. Uno pensaría que debemos recorrerlas en orden debido a que carecemos de todas las habilidades de nuestro traje, pero realmente podemos comenzar por donde queramos. Evidentemente, atravesarlas en su totalidad aún es imposible debido a que nos faltan poderes, pero, como tal, los chips principales son asequibles. Esta libertad se agradece muchísimo, porque hace que esta experiencia pueda vivirse de diferentes maneras. En nuestra primera partida iniciamos por la Chatarrería, pero en la segunda lo hicimos en la Zona de Patinaje, y genuinamente sentimos un cambio notorio. Eso sí, cada zona guarda algún poder especial que nos ayudará a conseguir todos los coleccionables, completar misiones secundarias y avanzar de manera más rápida. Entre éstos están diferentes cañones y municiones para nuestro Turboguante, un dash, unos picos para nuestra BMX que se adhieren a los muros (como la Spider Ball de Metroid II) y más. Conseguirlos es sumamente satisfactorio, aunque algunas veces el viaje es mejor que la recompensa, pues algunos de estos power ups se usan muy poco o sólo para una parte en específica. Esto se compensa con el excelente diseño de niveles de Turbo Kid. Cada área presenta numerosos obstáculos, rutas, mecánicas y elementos que hacen que el ritmo nunca se detenga y que, en todo momento, la exploración sea fantástica. Aunque a veces es claro el punto al que debemos llegar para avanzar en la historia, tener tantos caminos a nuestra disposición es muy atractivo e imposible de ignorar. Además, el título arroja cientos de coleccionables, al grado de que a veces parece más un colectathon. Es muy fácil llevar la cuenta de lo que hemos obtenido gracias a nuestro cuaderno, en el que se registra todo con notas y dibujos muy graciosos y estéticos. Es como ver la libreta de un amigo que sí sabe dibujar y que se aburre en clases. Entre lo que se anota están poemas, cuentos cortos, el lore del Páramo y de cada personaje, páginas de cómics ilustradas por Jeik Dion e información de cada área. Es un detalle que igualmente nos recordó a los manuales que antes venían en los videojuegos. El lado negativo de esto es que casi todos los coleccionables son referentes al lore y la historia del juego, pero afectan muy poco la jugabilidad. La mayoría de las mejoras de poder, salud y energía se obtienen en la tienda, lo que a veces hace que la exploración se sienta en vano. Es muy decepcionante haber superado varios obstáculos en una ruta sólo para obtener texto. https://www.levelup.com/PC/juegos/781298/Turbo-Kid/review

Ukrainian authorities have charged a member of parliament with embezzling over £220,000. The National Anti-Corruption Bureau (NABU) alleged the Ukrainian MP purchased assets far exceeding his official income. While it did not identify the politician, the Interfax Ukraine news agency and other Ukrainian media outlets named Andriy Klochko as the accused. Mr Klochko is a member of President Volodymyr Zelensky's Servant of the People party. He has not yet publicly responded to the allegations. The BBC has approached him for comment. In a statement, NABU said that between 2020 and 2021 the MP had acquired assets worth 25m hryvnas (£507,000), while he and his wife's combined declared income and savings at the time was just 14m hryvnas (£284,000). That left an unexplained difference of 11m hryvnas (£223,000), prosecutors said. A joint investigation with Ukraine's Specialised Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office found the MP had purchased three plots of land near Kyiv, five flats in the Ukrainian capital, two other premises, as well as two cars: a Tesla and a Mercedes-Benz. NABU alleged that "to conceal the ownership of these assets, the MP registered most of them with close relatives" while retaining full control over them. The anti-corruption agency credited Bihus, an investigative journalism publication, for bringing the matter to light in a series of articles published in 2021 and 2022. NABU stressed that the MP was considered innocent until found guilty in court. Ukraine has been plagued with a history of officials facing accusations of corruption, which has complicated Mr Zelensky's attempts to recast it as a burgeoning Western democracy and seek military aid. When he came to power in 2019, he described fighting corruption as one of his key priorities. He has since made several culls of top officials over claims of mismanaging public funds. In January, several top officials lost their jobs as part of the latest round of anti-corruption measures. Ukraine war: Hopes of rebuilding rely on fighting corruption Ukrainian billionaire held in anti-corruption drive In 2023, Ukraine was ranked 104th out of 180 countries in a corruption perception index by NGO Transparency International - 12 places up from the previous year. On Wednesday, Mr Zelensky dismissed Illya Vityuk, head of cybersecurity for the Security Service (SBU). The decree followed reports that a plain-clothed SBU officer attempted to hand a summons to an investigative journalist, after he published a story claiming Mr Vityuk's wife had understated the value of a luxury flat she had bought on an official declaration. The SBU told Slidstvo at the time that Mr Vityuk's wife was a "private entrepreneur" who had purchased the property using her own "income and savings". https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cw59r476523o

The 2025 Hyundai Ioniq 5 N is the quickest Korean car we've ever tested, hitting 60 mph in 3.0 seconds flat. That time makes Hyundai's 641-hp AWD EV a tenth of a second quicker than the Kia EV6 GT, and the N is 1.5 seconds quicker than the regular 320-hp dual-motor Ioniq 5. The Ioniq 5 N is also just as quick to 60 mph as the 2023 $128K Lucid Air Touring we tested previously, and it has an edge over the BMW i4 M50 and a Tesla Model 3 Performance. Welcome to Car and Driver's Testing Hub, where we zoom in on the test numbers. We've been pushing vehicles to their limits since 1956 to provide objective data to bolster our subjective impressions (you can see how we test here). Nothing sends a smartphone into airplane mode quite like the nutty acceleration of an electric vehicle. They're heavy, but their viciously instant torque delivery and direct-drive transmissions make for some rapid speed. Best of all, a hot hatch such as the 2025 Hyundai Ioniq 5 N we just tested, accelerates like a six-figure sports car but at a fraction of the cost. Impressively, the $67K electric N's 3.0-second rip to 60 mph is just three tenths of a second behind a 2022 Porsche 911 GT3 PDK. The last time a Hyundai put this much pressure on a Porsche, it was uninsured and tailgating someone on California's 405. The Korean King Is Quicker Than Others Too For a short while, the 3.1-second 60-mph time of the speediest Kia EV6 GT we've tested earned it the crown as the quickest car from the Korean Hyundai/Kia group, but now that a high-performance trim has been added to the Ioniq 5 lineup this year, there's a new king. The N blows the previously quickest Hyundai's time out of the water, which was set by an Ioniq 6 with a 4.3-second 60-mph time. The track-focused 5 is also 1.5 seconds quicker than the more civilized 320-hp all-wheel-drive Ioniq 5 (4.5 seconds). In N guise, the Ioniq 5 wears 275/35ZR-21 Pirelli P Zero PZ4 summer tires wrapped around 21-inch forged-aluminum wheels. Every N is all-wheel drive, and among its myriad drive settings, including its ability to mimic mechanical gearchanges while making fake Elantra N exhaust noise, torque can be split front to rear 11 different ways. The quickest vehicle we've ever tested is the 2021 Ferrari SF90 Stradale, a 986-hp plug-in-hybrid rocket that completed its launch to 60 mph in 2.0 seconds. Owning such a capable machine will run you more than $700K, enough moola to buy each player on the first and second lines of the Pittsburgh Penguins an Ioniq 5 N—including the backup goalie. While the Ferrari is quicker than every car we've tested, it might surprise you what EVs Hyundai's 641-hp quasi-hatchback can beat to 60 mph. Because being the "quickest Hyundai" doesn't sound too bragworthy, consider this context: the Ioniq 5 N is quicker to 60 mph than the BMW i4 M50 and Tesla Model 3 Performance and also just as quick to 60 as a 2023 Lucid Air Touring, with an as-tested price of $128k, that packs an extra 340 pound-feet of torque. The N's 11.1-second quarter-mile at 123 mph is impressive too. That beats any AMG-badged EV we've tested, and it's a tenth behind the 834-hp Tesla Cybertruck Beast's time of 11.0 seconds flat. Against our favorite gas-powered hot hatches, the much heavier Ioniq 5 N destroys their quarter-mile times: Honda Civic Type R (13.5 seconds at 106 mph), Toyota GR Corolla Morizo Edition (13.0 seconds at 106 mph), and the Volkswagen Golf R with a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic (12.6 ticks at 110 mph). Of course, Hyundai's hardcore EV has roughly double the horsepower and costs more than all of them. https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a60659411/2025-hyundai-ioniq-5-n-quickest-korean-car-ever-tested/

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Monday moved a Surat court against his conviction in a defamation case and said that he was “treated harshly at the stage of determination of sentence taking into account his position as Member of Parliament” and that the maximum sentence has caused him “irreparable loss”. In his appeal before the Surat district and sessions court against his two-year conviction, Gandhi also stated it seemed “reasonable to argue” that the maximum sentence awarded to him was to “attract the order of disqualification (as an MP)”. “Not only is the excessive sentence contrary to the law on the subject but is also unwarranted in the present case which has overriding political overtones,” the appeal says. Terming the conviction “erroneous”, the appeal states that the “material on which it based has not been proved in accordance with law” https://indianexpress.com/article/cities/surat/rahul-gandhi-mistreated-sentenced-attract-disqualification-8536431/

Birders – especially those who, like me, live in western Britain – eagerly anticipate autumnal gales and storms, which arrive most years from the Atlantic Ocean to the west. These often bring migrating seabirds close inshore for a few hours, usually either side of high tide. Some unfortunate individuals may be driven inland, in what ornithologists call a “wreck”, after which they often perish. In recent years, as a result of global climate breakdown, this storm season has extended well into the winter – as happened this January. Storms Isha and Jocelyn arrived in rapid succession, causing widespread damage, power cuts and deaths. Seabirds tend to fare very differently during winter storms compared with autumn ones. By now, most are well out in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, where they are able to ride out the high winds without any risk of crashing into the land. This would explain the almost total lack of unusual seabird sightings so far this year. There has been one notable weather-related sighting, though: of a mammal rather than a bird. A beluga whale – a small white cetacean from the Arctic – turned up on Shetland, after a run of strong northerly winds. This is just the fifth individual ever seen there, and the same species as an individual nicknamed Benny, which found a temporary home in the Thames estuary in December 2018. https://www.theguardian.com/news/2024/feb/15/weatherwatch-seabirds-ride-out-winter-storms-in-middle-of-ocean

Chelsea strengthened their chances of securing European football next season, cruising to victory against West Ham at Stamford Bridge. It took just 15 minutes for Chelsea to get their noses in front with Cole Palmer reacting quickest to meet a loose ball in the West Ham box. West Ham almost hit back immediately when Jarrod Bowen's header crashed back off the crossbar, but it was one-way traffic from then on. Chelsea doubled their lead on the half-hour mark through Conor Gallagher before Noni Madueke headed in the third six minutes later. Nicolas Jackson struck twice in the second half to round off a wholly positive afternoon for the Blues. With just three games left to play, Chelsea's season seems to be heading for a strong finish as they have climbed up to seventh and sit just two points shy of sixth-placed Newcastle, while West Ham, who have two games remaining, stay ninth. Chelsea ooze confidence After a rocky first season under the tutelage of Mauricio Pochettino, Chelsea are starting to click and European football could still be on the agenda for next season if they keep up this momentum. The Blues have won nine of their past 11 home Premier League outings and they are now on a four-game winning streak at Stamford Bridge, having beaten Manchester United, Everton, Tottenham and now West Ham. They seem to be playing with greater confidence and it bodes well for the next term. An assured finish into the the bottom right corner from Palmer set Chelsea on their way, taking his tally in the league to 21. Captain Gallagher's strike was equally as impressive as he volleyed emphatically across the target to leave Alphonse Areola rooted to the spot. The game was pretty much over as a contest by the 36th-minute when Madueke found space in the six-yard box to turn in Thiago Silva's knockdown. Jackson further tightened Chelsea's grip on all three points shortly after half-time and he showed great composure when rolling in the fifth after beating the offside trap late on. Chelsea were not asked too many questions defensively but Pochettino will also be pleased to see his side record back-to-back clean sheets in the league for the first time since February 2023. Another heavy loss for hopeless Hammers West Ham's confidence looks shot as their season draws to an unsatisfactory conclusion. The Hammers have won just one of their past 10 games across all competitions, losing five, and are on course to miss out on a fourth successive season in Europe. They have conceded 70 goals this season, including shipping five goals on four separate occasions, with only bottom three clubs Burnley (74), Luton (78) and Sheffield United (100) with a worse defensive record. Former Wolves boss Julen Lopetegui held talks with West Ham about replacing David Moyes this week and a second successive heavy defeat on the road, having lost 5-2 at Crystal Palace on 21 April, leaves the Scot in an even more precarious position. Bowen was the only positive for West Ham on a miserable day for the visitors, hitting the crossbar on three occasions. Despite conceding early in the second period, West Ham did pose slightly more threat after the restart with Emerson firing over the bar and half-time substitute James Ward-Prowse forcing a save out of Djordje Petrovic. The result extends Moyes' terrible record when visiting Chelsea as a manager, failing to win any of his 19 trips - losing 12 and drawing seven. https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/68914705

Israel has closed the Kerem Shalom crossing into Gaza after Hamas fired rockets from within the strip. At least 10 people were injured, some seriously, Israeli media report. The armed wing of Hamas said it had targeted troops with short-range rockets. Mediators in the Egyptian capital, Cairo, have held two days of talks aimed at securing a deal for a ceasefire in Gaza and the release of hostages held by Hamas. In a statement, Hamas said the latest round had ended on Sunday and that its delegation would now travel to Qatar toconsult with the group's leadership. The truce proposal is believed to involve a 40-day pause in fighting while hostages are released, and the release of a number of Palestinian prisoners being held in Israeli jails. The main sticking point appears to be whether the ceasefire deal would be permanent or temporary. Hamas is insisting any deal makes a specific commitment towards an end to the war, but Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu rejected that on Sunday. "The state of Israel cannot accept this [Hamas's demands], we are not prepared to accept a situation in which the Hamas brigades come out of their bunkers, take control of Gaza again, rebuild their military infrastructure, and return to threatening the citizens of Israel in the settlements surrounding the southern mountains, in all parts of the country. "This will be a terrible defeat for the state of Israel," he added. The war began after waves of Hamas gunmen stormed across Gaza's border into Israel on 7 October, killing about 1,200 people and taking more than 250 hostages. The group is proscribed as a terrorist organisation by many Western countries. During the subsequent Israeli military campaign in Gaza, more than 34,600 Palestinians have been killed and over 77,900 wounded, according to figures from the territory's Hamas-run health ministry. Mr Netanyahu has faced pressure from within his far-right coalition to press ahead with the long-promised offensive in Gaza's southern-most city, Rafah, where an estimated 1.4 million people have taken shelter after fleeing fighting in northern and central parts of the strip. The US is reluctant to back a military operation that could cause significant civilian casualties, and has insisted on seeing a plan to protect displaced Palestinians first. The Israeli government also faces mounting pressure at home. Of the 252 hostages who were kidnapped by Hamas on 7 October, 128 are still unaccounted for - and among them, at least 34 are presumed dead. Addressing the strike on the Kerem Shalom crossing, the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) said 10 projectiles had been fired from an area near the Rafah crossing in southern Gaza, about 3.6km (2.2 miles) from Kerem Shalom. The IDF said they were fired from a site some 350m from a civilian shelter, before it destroyed the launcher and a nearby military site. It called the launches "another clear example of the terrorist organisation's systematic exploitation of humanitarian facilities and spaces, and their continued use of the Gazan civilian po[CENSORED]tion as human shields". Ceasefire talks have gone on for months without a breakthrough, and there has not been a pause in fighting or a release of hostages since the end of November https://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-68960585

In a recent RPG roundtable I hosted for the PC Gamer Chat Log podcast, something Larian founder Swen Vincke said caused my ears to perk up: the already impressive multiplayer roleplaying in Baldur's Gate 3 was once even more involved than what made it into the final game. During the roundtable, Ted Peterson, writer and designer of the original Elder Scrolls, pointed out that multiplayer games and MMOs have difficulty keeping their tone consistent—it's easy to tell the difference between the way a player behaves and the way a character would. That was something Vincke had in mind during the development of BG3. "We've been trying to experiment with that—the problem is that it's so intensive to get it to work," he said. "In Original Sin 1 you could actually roleplay dialogue with your partner, in co-operative play. We actually had that deeply in Baldur's Gate 3 at some point also. But the problem was our dialogue trees blew up so hard, we just couldn't manage it anymore. So we had to cut it all."I don't know much about Baldur's Gate 3's companions, because for me they're not much more than a bunch of weirdos who hang out at my camp. That's because I played Baldur's Gate 3 in four-player co-op, with no space in the party for NPCs to tag along and invite me into their own stories. I'd like to know what Astarion's whole deal is and why Karlach's so beloved, but I had too much fun with the chaos of playing BG3 with friends—just like I did with Divinity: Original Sin 2 before it, and the first Original Sin before that. I love playing these games with friends, because there are long stretches of exploration during which we can chat, and enough emergent, sandboxy solutions to problems that I know we'll end up coming up with weird or creative ideas as a group that I wouldn't see solo. We definitely miss out on some of the overall story, but my character's personal journey has still been satisfying. No other developer is making RPGs this ambitious with multiplayer, and I think on the whole Larian's been getting better at it with each passing game. But in terms of pure roleplaying, it would be exciting to see a system like the one Vincke was referencing from 2014's Original Sin make a comeback: https://www.pcgamer.com/games/rpg/baldurs-gate-3-once-featured-an-even-deeper-co-op-conversation-system-but-swen-vincke-said-their-dialogue-trees-blew-up-so-hard-we-just-couldnt-manage-it/

The reMarkable 2 was launched in 2020. So, it's not a brand-new product that the brand is bringing to the market, but something which was conceptualised several years ago. The tablet is meant to replicate writing on paper helping one convert their handwritten notes into editable digital documents. But given that we are all used to having wrist watches which can run apps, place calls and track your health, TVs that come with app integrations or double up as wall paintings. Or earphones that can translate spoken language and accept voice commands, the reMarkable 2 will definitely fail to appeal to the regular consumer who's desperately seeking maximum value from any given product. I have been using this tablet for several months, and I haven't switched over to using it as a planner or a diary (I'll explain why below), but I have found it useful in some cases where pen and paper make more sense to me. If you have been pondering whether the reMarkable 2 paper tablet makes sense in your life, this review should give you an answer. reMarkable 2 Review: Price in India The reMarkable 2 in India can be purchased as a bundle at Rs. 43,999. You get the reMarkable 2 paper tablet and the Marker Pen Plus accessory, which comes with a built-in eraser. The second bundle, which I received for review, is called the reMarkable 2 Bundle with Folio. It is available at Rs. 53,999 and adds a Book Folio cover for basic protection. reMarkable also sent across their Type Folio Keyboard cover, which was launched in 2023, for review. It's available in two finishes, Ink Black and Sepia Brown. I received the Sepia Brown cover for review, which is priced at Rs. 19,499 officially. reMarkable 2 Review: Design and accessories Starting with the accessories, reMarkable only has the Marker Plus pen on sale in India. It does not use a battery and so needs no charging. It has a built-in eraser with a slightly rounded head. The pen comes with 9 extra tips in its packaging, which provides plenty of mileage even for serious or heavy users. The optional Book Folio cover offers basic protection for the reMarkable 2's display, so those looking to protect it from drops will have to look up third-party accessories. The reMarkable 2 Tablet Isn’t Meant to Replace an iPad The Type Folio cover is rather interesting. While it appears like a typical tablet cover made from artificial leather and plastic, it is quite an engineering marvel. Just like the Marker Plus pen, it does not have a battery, and so does not require charging. I t draws power via five pogo pins located inside the area where the paper tablet attaches. When closed, the Tan Brown cover appears just like any other tablet folio case. In fact, it's really hard to tell that there's a keyboard hidden just below the paper tablet. The Type Folio has three positions in all. There's the first one, where the front flap (which otherwise protects the display) is wrapped around the back, making it ideal for taking hand-written notes when laid flat on your lap or a table. Advertisement Next, there's a second angle that I call the "typing mode", with the tablet standing up and the keyboard exposed below it, which is ideal just for distraction-free typing. There is a third mode, which I call the "review mode." This mode keeps the tablet at a less slanted angle with the keyboard exposed for typing while also letting one write comfortably by resting one's palm on display instead of keeping one's hand floating in the air when in "typing mode." One detail that I did miss was the paper tablet's ability to wake up when opening the Type Folio or Folio covers. So, after opening the flap, you have to reach out for the power button at the top to wake up the tablet from its sleeping state. One can also choose to keep it on all the time, but the battery will drain a lot faster when in this state. Thankfully, there is a passcode lock feature so you can secure your tablet from prying eyes. The reMarkable 2 does not include a charger in its packaging; instead, it offers a branded USB Type-A to Type-C cable in the box. https://www.gadgets360.com/tablets/reviews/remarkable-2-review-5513011#pfrom=indepth

La tecnología de transferencia Bluetooth lleva con nosotros muchos años. Durante una época, antes de la llegada de Internet a los teléfonos móviles, era la única forma de poder compartir fotos y vídeos con otros móviles. Sin embargo, mientras que muchos portátiles incluyen soporte para Bluetooth, los fabricantes de placas base siguen sin hacerlo, a pesar de que el número de periféricos compatible con esta tecnología es cada vez más elevado. Si queremos olvidarnos de pelear con el cable de nuestro teclado, ratón y auriculares o queremos tener una mayor libertad para moverlos y movernos sin limitaciones sobre nuestro escritorio, si nuestro PC no tiene este tipo de conectividad, podemos añadirla a través de un pincho USB o utilizando una tarjeta PCIe, aunque esta última opción sólo es recomendable si queremos ampliar el rango de alcance y si, de paso, también queremos añadir conectividad Wi-Fi. Como hemos comentado más arriba, añadir Bluetooth a nuestro PC, por antiguo o moderno que sea nos costará unos pocos euros y, no solo nos permitirá utilizar un ratón, teclado e incluso auriculares sin cables, sino que, además, también vamos a poder utilizarlo para enviar y recibir archivos desde nuestro teléfono móvil, lo que nos permite olvidarnos también de tener siempre a mano un cable USB-C para sacar las fotos de nuestro móvil. Pinchos USB con Bluetooth Una de las opciones más vendidas y mejor valoradas en Amazon la encontramos en el modelo TP-Link UB500, un pincho USB que añadir conectividad Bluetooth 5.0 a cualquier PC donde lo conectemos y que es compatible a partir de Windows 7. No es necesario instalar ningún drivers ya que Windows se encarga de hacerlo por nosotros y ocupa tan poco espacio que apenas se nota que lo estamos utilizando.Otra interesante opción opción disponible en Amazon la encontramos en este modelo del fabricante Confitik. se trata de un adaptador USB con Bluetooth 5.3, que, al igual que el modelo de TP-Link no necesita de instalar ningún driver. Este pincho está disponible en color blanco, es compatible a partir de Windows 8.1 en adelante (no es compatible con Windows 7) y permite conectar hasta 7 dispositivos a la vez.Si queremos maximizar el alcance de nuestra de la señal Bluetooth de nuestro PC, el modelo que nos ofrece UGREEN con antena de alto rango es la mejor opción. Este modelo, incluye una antena que podemos orientar en cualquier dirección siendo la mejor opción para enviar la señal de nuestro equipo a dispositivos no portátiles que se encuentre cerca. La versión Bluetooth de este modelo es la 5.3 y, a diferencia de otros modelos, cuyo alcance se limita a 10 metros, este tiene un alcance máximo de 30 metros. Es compatible a partir de Windows 8.1 en adelante (no es compatible con Windows 7, Linux ni macOS). https://hardzone.es/ofertas/amazon/pinchos-usb-bluetooth-0224/
