  1. Google Photos continues working to add new functions within a race that we do not know when it will end: the memories, the grouping by faces, the improvements are constant. Be that as it may, those of Mountain View are preparing some interesting changes that we are going to detail here. Last year, they released a new and more useful photo editor in the Google Photos app with easy-to-use granular adjustments and smart suggestions to help you perfect your shots. Today, they are adding even more editing capabilities to Google Photos so that you can easily adjust your memories - no specialized knowledge required. A new editor for your videos With the new video editor, in addition to cropping, stabilizing and rotating videos, you can now crop, change the viewing angle, add filters, apply fine editing (including brightness, contrast, saturation and warmth), etc. Also, there are now more than 30 controls, but a good starting point is to crop and straighten the frame to focus more on the subject. Also, if the scene is not well exposed, the brightness can be adjusted to make the video shine. The new video editing feature is now available in Google Photos for iOS and will roll out for most Android users in the coming weeks. Enhanced editing features for Google One members Starting today, they bring some of the editing features currently available on the Google Pixels and will be available to all Google One users, as part of their premium membership. Google wants to continue to encourage the premium use of its cloud photos and videos platform. We show you what are their news. For starters, they bring in effects that transform portraits through machine learning: with Portrait Blur, you can blur the background after capture, and with Portrait Light, you can enhance the lighting of faces in portraits. Both functions work for photos just taken or images from the past, even if the original image was not taken in portrait mode. Blur and Color Pop still work for photos with depth information (such as photos captured in portrait mode) and anyone with Google Photos can use them for free. Google One members will also have access to other new effects based on machine learning. They also add enhanced sky edits, sunset images can be made to stand out by increasing and adjusting color and contrast with one of several sunrise and sunset inspired palettes.
  2. An AMD RYzen 7 Pro 5750G 8-core, 16-thread APU is seen in China, which will be destined for the business segment Processor stock is quite low at the moment, especially AMD Ryzen 5000 processors. Despite the lack of stock due to TSMC not having enough for production, the Ryzen 5000G APUs are falling. Now the Ryzen 7 PRo 5750G 8-core, 16-thread APU has been seen. This APU is intended for the business sector as it includes additional security solutions. Although the launch would be close, at the moment we do not have a date for the launch of the APUs. For now, these Zen3 architecture Ryzen 5000G APUs would be engineering samples. The launch will likely depend more on TSMC's production capacity than on AMD. Indicate that the Ryzen 7 Pro 5750G model would be the replacement for the Ryzen 7 Pro 4750G model. As we've noted, Pro APUs are released with additional security features. They are specifically for professional and business markets. Typically not available in the retail segment, they mount directly into OEM solutions. If it weren't for the additional security features, they would be common APUs. The Ryzen 7 Pro 5750G has 8 cores and 16 processing threads. This chip would work at a base frequency of 3.8GHz and could reach 4.75GHz in Boost mode. It will be based on the Zen3 @ 7nm architecture, so it will be produced by TSMC. What is not very clear is the iGPU of these processors that would be of Vega architecture. In addition, these processors will have support for the PCIe 4.0 interface. According to the user who uploaded the CPU-Z capture, he has paid 2,750 yuan (about € 430) for the Ryzen 7 Pro 5750G APU. This cannot be guaranteed as AMD has not officially released these APU.
  3. The award is part of the festival's Green Awards and distinguishes projects and people that promote an urbanization compatible with the environment that, at the same time, contributes to improving the quality of life and urban infrastructures. The award went to Zencity, a Tel Aviv-based startup that has developed an algorithm that collects and analyzes publications on social media and local news portals in cities. The UN has already predicted that more than two-thirds of the world's po[CENSORED]tion will live in cities by the middle of this century in its 2018 “World Urbanization Forecasts” study. By 2030, the United Nations expects there to be 43 megacities around the world . Ensuring that life in these large cities is the most respectful of the environment and socially fair is, therefore, one of the main challenges for this decade. By creating an award in recognition of this work, the Greentech Festival and Audi AG intend to draw attention to this challenge and promote innovative solutions, support founders in the early stages of their projects and encourage public dialogue. The Green Future Award: special award from the Greentech Festival Among the nominees were projects in the areas of energy, water, mobility, construction and housing, digitization, and security and resources. The jury was made up of representatives from WWF, Deutsche Bahn, the German Institute for Economic Research (DIW) and rap artist Marteria Green Berlin's fashion brand, who are also members of the jury for the GRreen Awards on the sustainability platform. . Members evaluated projects based on their contribution to environmental protection, adaptability, technical innovation and future viability. The Green Future Award is a special award that is part of the Green Awards and highlights the possibilities of sustainable technologies in the cities of the future. In the framework of the digital world presentation of the new Audi electric car, the e-tron GT, two of the founders of the Greentech Festival, Nico Rosberg and Marco Voigt, CEO Judith Kühn and Henrik Wenders, vice president of the Audi brand, delivered the award to Assaf Frances, director of urban policy and associations at Zencity, in a ceremony broadcast live. Nico Rosberg: “Time is a critical factor when we talk about climate change, and we have to act now. Startups like Zencity provide us with the necessary tools. We need technologies like AI presented by this award winner to live up to our responsibility and end the destruction of our environment. With this very special award, we demonstrate what current technology is capable of when shaping our future in urban areas, which must be sustainable and offer quality of life. We have decided to award the Green Future Award today in a different environment, to reach as many people as possible and awaken their enthusiasm for a sustainable lifestyle ”. Henrik Wenders, Vice President of the Audi brand, stated: “Audi is synonymous with Vanguard, our goal is to use technology to contribute to the achievement of a sustainable future and to shape urban mobility so that people are the central axis. As active collaborators of the Greentech Festival, we want to bring real added value and do our bit to find answers to the urgent questions of the future ”. Algorithms are the key to developing local solutions Zencity was developed by Eyal Feder-Levy and Ido Ivri as an intuitive Artificial Intelligence (AI) tool for local administrations. It uses an algorithm to find posts on social media, web pages, local news portals, and other online platforms that contain information about the cities where the people who post live. Advanced artificial intelligence and machine learning make it possible to process millions of data and information within a defined area, for example within the limits of a city, and generate conclusions using this basis. Among the clients of Zencity are the municipal authorities, which can use this data as a basis to know the needs of its inhabitants and make them come true. This method saves resources and replaces costly and lengthy face-to-face surveys, citizen hotlines, and committee meetings. In this way, the tool helps all the inhabitants of a city to attract the attention of policy makers. And it does so in an automated way, without complex information processes or bureaucratic obstacles. Zencity is already used in 160 cities, including Chicago, Ottawa and Tel Aviv. Nominations for Strabag and Sensoneo Other nominees were Strabag and its CIAir project, and Sensoneo with its solution for intelligent waste management. Strabag's clean asphalt reduces noise emissions by up to 35% compared to conventional asphalt. The sandblasted material used for the asphalt consists of an ultra high performance concrete (UHPC) mixed with titanium dioxide. When exposed to sunlight, it breaks down air-bound nitrogen oxides and turns them into harmless nitrates; the material adheres directly to the hot asphalt surface. Sensoneo offers smart waste disposal solutions for cities and businesses. These initiatives range from container plant monitoring to an automated on-demand system for more efficient collection planning. In this way, three solutions for intelligent waste management are combined: asset management, waste tracking and route planning.
  4. The authorities of the Asian country announced on Thursday the suspension of the broadcast of BBC World News, arguing that it has "seriously" violated its national regulations. The National Administration of Radio and Television of the Asian giant, the organism that regulates the mass media, indicated that the BBC has not fulfilled "the requirements to emit in China". The decision comes after the Chinese government's criticism of BBC reporting on the coronavirus and the persecution of the Uighur ethnic minority in Xinjiang, which Beijing denies. "They paid to choose the prettiest inmates": detainees in a camp for Uighurs in China who denounce being systematically raped It also comes shortly after the UK media regulator revoked the license to the state-owned Chinese channel CGTN, concluding that the ruling Communist Party had ultimate editorial responsibility for the channel. Then, the Chinese government warned that it reserved the right to take the corresponding measures. "Unacceptable decision" The State Administration of Film, Radio and Television of China said in a statement that it concluded that BBC World News' content on China "had seriously violated" its regulations, including "the requirement that news must be truthful and fair" and " not harm China's national interests. " Therefore, it communicated that the request to issue another year in China would not be accepted. In a statement, the BBC was "disappointed": "The BBC is the most trusted news network in the world and reports stories around the world fairly, impartially and without fear or favor." BBC World News is broadcast globally in English, although access to it is severely restricted in China, only reaching international hotels and some diplomatic complexes, so most Chinese citizens cannot see it. The broadcast, as with other international channels, was subject to strict censorship and the signal usually went black when the channel dealt with a sensitive issue for the government, such as alleged human rights violations. UK Foreign Minister Dominic Raab called China's decision "an unacceptable restriction on press freedom." China’s decision to ban BBC World News in mainland China is an unacceptable curtailing of media freedom. China has some of the most severe restrictions on media & internet freedoms across the globe, & this latest step will only damage China’s reputation in the eyes of the world. - Dominic Raab (@DominicRaab) February 11, 2021 "China has some of the world's toughest restrictions on internet and press freedom, and this latest step will only damage China's reputation in the eyes of the rest of the world," he said. The US State Department also condemned the decision, noting that it is part of a larger campaign to end press freedom in the country. The relationship between China and the United Kingdom has been strained in recent months by Hong Kong, after the approval of the controversial National Security Law by Beijing and the new visa announced by London to welcome Hong Kongers as residents, considering that they are undermining your freedoms.

  6. Hello, from what I see in your activity you are very active in the forum, you deserve a chance
  7. Although it is true that we can customize the main tab of Google Chrome in a certain way and therefore edit the initial page of the browser a bit, we cannot establish a dark mode for Google's own search engine in Spain. This could change; Google is activating dark mode for some users, on a trial basis. Google is testing its search engine on desktop versions, showing what will be a completely dark interface. The dark mode that has been requested so much for a search engine that has historically always been white. Since the rise of dark mode, users have requested this feature for Google's search results. It has not been launched globally yet, although it is expected that it will do so in the coming weeks, since when Google does this type of test, it is because it is preparing its launch imminently. Dark comes to the finder As we can read in The Verge, Google has managed to make dark mode appear to a small number of users, although in an absolutely random way. This means that while there are specific conditions for it to appear, there is no specific way to force the feature. As reported by some users on Twitter to whom the dark mode has appeared, the conditions are simple; the system dark mode must be activated (either in macOS or in Windows 10) and in the browser, enter incognito mode. Once activated, we can choose some classic activation options, such as always having the dark mode activated or letting it depend on the system. As for the design of the dark mode of the Google search engine, it is within expectations. Grayish tone in the smallest parts of the interface and another gray tone for the background, in this case with a blue variant. The parts where there is color are also modified, with a darker tone than usual, as we see in the screenshot above with Apple's stock market data. The idea of this dark mode is the same as the rest of the modes that we have seen po[CENSORED]rize in our favorite apps over the months: reduce eyestrain to be able to use the interface with reduced brightness. The problem is always the same; we do not know when this dark mode will be released for the Google search officially. Fortunately, there shouldn't be too much left.

The third test of the 2021 Calendar, in Portimao Regarding the 2021 calendar, the Commission received updated information on the scenario yet to be confirmed for the third test of the current one of the 2021 calendar and indicates that "the intention is to occupy it with a race in Portimão (Portugal) on the dates already foreseen in the schedule (April 30 to May 2) ", although the final agreement" is still subject to contract with the developer. " Increased tire test days Furthermore, the FIA, at the request of Pirelli, proposed to increase the number of test days allotted for tires from 25 to 30. "This proposal was unanimously accepted," he emphasizes. Innovative and most exciting weekend formator Referring to the format of race weekends, "all teams recognized the great importance of engaging fans in innovative ways to ensure an even more exciting grand prize." In this sense "there was broad support from all parties for a new classification format in some races, for which a working group is created in charge of creating a complete plan with the aim of reaching a decision before the start of the championship. 2021 ".
  10. Wearing traditional clothing from her tribe, Vanda Ortega receives the COVID-19 vaccine in Manaus, Brazil, on January 18, 2021. Ortega is the first Witoto indigenous woman to be vaccinated against the virus in a region where many people do not trust the vaccine.

Ortega is the first indigenous Witoto to got vaccinated against the virus in a region where many people do not trust the vaccine. (AP Photo / Edmar Barros, File) MANAUS, Brazil (AP) - Navigating a complex river network to reach remote communities in the Brazilian Amazon is just the first challenge that nurse Waldir Pires da Luz Bittencourt faces to vaccinate indigenous and riverine inhabitants against COVID-19. Upon arriving, he stumbles upon something he did not expect: the fear of the vaccine. "It is a new phenomenon among indigenous peoples, derived from the politicization of the issue of vaccines," said Bittencourt, 32, who throughout the eight years he has been in the profession has been involved in campaigns against tuberculosis, diphtheria and tetanus. Medical personnel like Bittencourt are being sent to isolated corners of Brazil, often traveling for hours in small planes or boats. Most jungle communities have basic sanitary facilities that are unable to treat COVID-19 patients. For this reason, vaccines are essential to contain the outbreak. Brazil has more than 235,000 deaths and is surpassed only by the United States in that line, according to the Johns Hopkins University account. In a query last month from pollster Datafolha, 17% of respondents said they did not plan to get vaccinated. The percentages are highest in the North and Midwest, which Datafolha groups into one category, and lowest in the South and Southeast, higher-income regions. Health personnel, experts and anthropologists say that the rejection or fear of the vaccine responds in part to the doubts that President Jair Bolsonaro generates regarding the efficacy of the vaccine. Bolsonaro, who was infected last year and recovered, says he does not plan to get vaccinated and insists that no one should do it if he does not want it. He initially refused to authorize the purchase of the Chinese Sinovac vaccine and said on Facebook that Brazil would never be “anyone's guinea pig”. He also rejected the Pfizer vaccine, citing a clause that exempts the US firm from potential liability. He joked that no one could be claimed if women grew beards, men's voices changed, or people turned into alligators. His preaching against science reached the riverside towns and indigenous communities of the Amazon. “This movement against the vaccine was not born there. Some missionaries bring it, social networks and fake news, ”said anthropologist Aparecida Maria Neiva Vilaça, who has worked with indigenous communities in the northern state of Rondonia. Indigenous communities have gained greater access to technology and the internet in recent years, but the information often arrives "very distorted," Bittencourt said in a telephone interview from Macapa, capital of the state of Amazonas. There is also little diversity in information. In the Pururé community in the Tumucumaque Mountains National Park, a group asked Bittencourt if they could inject him with the vaccine imported from India because they thought it had been produced by indigenous peoples. In Brazil the word "Indian" is still used to refer to the indigenous. In other villages, some feared being used to test vaccines. Others were concerned about the possibility of the devil being put into their bodies. While most people ended up being convinced to get the vaccine, both Bittencourt and Vilaça said they did not see as much reluctance from indigenous peoples in the past. Some evangelical leaders have spread misinformation, they noted. Evangelicals mostly supported Bolsonaro in the 2018 presidential campaign, and various pastors from remote communities helped spread his message against COVID-19 vaccines. Messages circulated widely on WhatsApp that many pastors said they could cure infected people. “Tell your family members that they do not need to take the vaccine. I am God, I am the cure, ”they told an individual, according to her. Another individual repeated the falsehood that the vaccine would increase a person's chances of getting the virus. "It's going to alter your DNA" and increase the chances of infecting you, another pointed out. Vilaça, who teaches at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro when she is not in the north, said the same thing happens with the rest of Brazilian society. "A large percentage of the information is transmitted through WhatsApp, social networks and many people do not have access to newspapers," she said. Nurse Luciana Dias da Costa also had difficulties vaccinating in Amazonas, where a new outbreak of the virus overwhelmed the health system in the capital, Manaus. A nationwide campaign emerged to deliver oxygen to patients who cannot breathe. "We want to vaccinate everyone, but some are left, others not," said da Costa, 46, during an interview while traveling by boat to Sao Joao do Tupe, 25 kilometers (15 miles) west of Manaus. There, many elders told him that they feared the side effects of the vaccine. Official government figures indicate that the death rate in the state of Amazonas is 224 per 100,000 inhabitants, double that of the rest of the country. Some experts believe that a new variant of the coronavirus that is more contagious and resistant to treatment has caused a sharp increase in the number of hospitalizations and deaths. Dr. Ethel Maciel, who advised the government when it formulated its vaccination program, said that remote communities in the Amazon are a priority given the lack of infrastructure and the great distances that people must travel to seek medical attention in Manaus, which already it is already overwhelmed. "When there are serious infectious diseases such as COVID-19, which tends to progress rapidly, people sometimes die on the way, without reaching" to the capital, she said Maciel. In Amazonas, Jane Barbosa de Albuquerque, 71, says she was initially skeptical. “We had doubts. Which vaccine is the best? What do I get? Which one will arrive in Amazonas? There were so many controversies ... ”, she commented. Ultimately, however, she overcame her fears and agreed to get vaccinated, saying that "health comes first."
  11. Hello,you returned recently and have very little activity CONTRA
  12. you have a good activity both in the forum and in ts3 continue like this #GoodLuck
  13. Although in Spain we have at our disposal lots of alternatives when it comes to navigation, the preferred one has always been Google Maps. It is not uncommon then that companies like Apple want to pick up some of its best features and implement them in their navigation applications. With the arrival of iOS 14.5 that, among other things, will allow us to unlock the iPhone with our face even with a mask, Apple Maps will receive an improvement that many of us will appreciate: a button to report incidents or elements on the road to consider, such as radars . This button will help us to report accidents, notify other users about speed controls, and so on. In addition, it will have full compatibility with Siri, so we can perform voice commands with the apple assistant. Apple Maps will improve This has been discovered by The Verge, who has reviewed the application with the novelty installed. Insist that these features will be available only and exclusively in the new version of iOS that at this time cannot yet be downloaded in a stable way, although betas can be downloaded. The operation is simple. On the road, the user can hit the report button and specify exactly which item to report. With Siri, we will simply have to say phrases like "Hey Siri, here's a cruise control" or "Hey Siri, there's something on the road." This interface will also be available in Apple's version of CarPlay. The truth is that you can see that this functionality has been in other services for months. Apple's options are much more limited than those of Google Maps and, in addition, they have yet to arrive, since we remember that they will not be available until iOS 14.5 is released. In this sense, both Google Maps and Waze have considerably more margin. It is expected, on the other hand, that Apple Maps will be updated in the coming months and include new alerts to pick up the baton to Google Maps. However, it is not clear if these new reporting options will be accompanied by new versions of iOS or if on the contrary Apple will limit itself to updating the application after the installation of iOS 14.5. In any case, this is good news, especially knowing that Google Maps is the undisputed leader in the niche of navigation apps.
  14. The AMD 400 Series chipset will support Smart Access Memory technology Resizable BAR is a technology devised by HP and AMD itself that was proposed in 2008 and that PCI-SIG, standardizer of the PCIe standard accepted for PCIe 3.0 that same year. In all these years it seems that no one had taken it into account. Now there is a rush to integrate this technology, even rename it. AMD indicated that this SAM technology would only be supported by the Ryzen 5000 and RX 6000 Series, all under the AMD 500 Series chipset. Some manufacturers that were skipping this restriction and of course, AMD has had to give its arm to twist. AMD 400 Series chipped motherboards will support Resizable BAR, but only with Ryzen 5000 processors and RX 6000 Series graphics. Its integration in motherboards with AMD X470 and B450 chipset will be possible with the AGESA v2 1.1.0.0 microcode. AMD has already distributed this new firmware and now it will be the motherboard manufacturers who integrate it. It is possible that in weeks we will begin to see the BIOSes that add support for Resizable BAR. To give us an idea, the Intel Rocket Lake-S and Tiger Lake-U processors will support Resizable BAR. NVIDIA has also indicated support for Resizable BAR on the RTX 30, but we don't know much else. Resizable BAR technology has the ability to deliver a performance improvement of up to 10%. Basically it is achieved because with this technology the processor has access to all the VRAM of the graphics. The processor instead of loading the tasks in RAM and then looking for that data at the request of the GPU, loads it in the VRAM of the graphics. By reducing the latency of the data request, search and submission process, you gain performance.
  15. Therefore, nothing could be more natural than Goodyear was part of the action that Jaguar promoted at the iconic Interlagos Autodrome in São Paulo (SP), where the I-PACE, a 100 percent electric SUV, set a time record. back for a vehicle in this segment. The driver who drove a model in its original configuration, that is, the same version sold in dealerships, without any modification, and with only three laps, was Cacá Bueno. The time was 2: 00'056 minutes on the 4.3 km lap of the circuit. In addition to impressing with its performance and handling on the track, the dynamic package led to the selection of the I-PACE in 2018 to incorporate the first class of Formula E electric touring cars, the Jaguar I-PACE eTrophy. The I-PACE featured excellent performance from Goodyear Eagle F1 tires, the original factory tires for I-PACE, which ensured performance and control during the lap to set the record. "The original equipment design and engineering of the new Jaguar Land Rover models once again shows Goodyear's ability to understand and implement the requirements of premium vehicle manufacturers," said Daniel González Becerril, Manager PBU Consumer. " The I-PACE is a 100 percent electric vehicle factory-equipped with the Eagle F1 Asymmetric 3 SUV, an ultra-high-performance tire from Goodyear that focuses on providing control, grip and performance. This Original Equipment business alliance is part of our global strategy to participate more and more in the electrical platforms and to take advantage of our innovation to support the mobility of the future ” Goodyear will continue to provide the best driving experience, providing Jaguar drivers with performance, comfort and safety in all conditions.
  16. Just a week after its premiere in theaters in Spain, and the result of an agreement signed between Netflix and Universal Pictures, the latest film starring Tom Hanks arrives on the platform 'Noticias del gran mundo'. On the verge of reaching a hundred titles as a performer, it is the first time we will see the Oscar-winning actor trying his luck in the genre of the 'western', if we except his cowboy voice Woody in the four parts of 'Toy Story'. And he does it from the hand of director Paul Greengrass (all the films in the Bourne saga have been made by him); It is the second time that Greengrass and Hanks have met after 'Captain Philips'. We will have to prepare to hear the title of this film among the nominations of all award seasons, who knows if even at the Oscars. For now it has started well, because almost without being released it already has two nominations for the Golden Globes (Best Supporting Actress in a Film –Helena Zengel– and Best Soundtrack) and another two for the SAG, the Screen Actors Guild Awards (Best Cast of a Movie and Best Supporting Actress, also for Zengel.). According to the official synopsis provided by Netflix, "five years after the end of the American Civil War, Captain Jefferson Kyle Kidd (Hanks), 63 years old and a veteran of three warlike contests, is dedicated to traveling from town to town to tell true stories, declaiming the news about presidents and queens, glorious fiefdoms, devastating catastrophes and gripping adventures from the most remote corners of the globe. On the plains of Texas, Kidd meets Johanna (Helena Zengel, 'System Crasher'), a 10-year-old girl taken in by the Kiowa tribe six years earlier and raised among them. Johanna, who is hostile to a world she does not know, is going to be returned to her biological uncles against her will. Kidd agrees to take the girl to her place according to the law. During their eventful journey of hundreds of kilometers through cruel and inhospitable territory, the two face the forces of nature and human hostility as they search for a destination that one can call home. " The cast is completed, among others, by Tom Astor, Travis Johnson, Andy Kastelic, Ray McKinnon, Simon Boudlin, Chris Bylsma and Mare Winningham, with whom Tom Hanks coincided more than 30 years ago in the filming of 'Partners and Hounds'. The script for the film has been handled by Paul Greengrass himself together with Luke Davies ('Lion') and takes as its starting point the novel by Paulette Jiles, which was a finalist in 2016 at the National Book Awards in the Fiction category. As the filmmaker himself explains, "Noticias del gran mundo'' is set in 1870, but it is a film about our time. Neighbors, families, and communities got into very violent conflicts with each other, and Americans needed to decide who they were. as Americans. " Especially a candidate in the awards season seems to be Helena Zengel, the German child actress who embodies the role of Johanna, hers first work entirely in the English language. "It's the first movie I've made whose main character is a girl," explains Greengrass, who thought it would be very difficult to find the actress. However, when he saw Zengel's audition, he realized that she "was the only person he really had to look at" and that "it was the easiest decision in the movie." The last curiosity of the article focuses precisely on Helena Zengel, an actress who, according to her, had never heard of who Tom Hanks was until she was cast in the role of 'News from the great world'. She has stated: "I think I saw 'The Da Vinci Code', but I didn't know who he was, it seemed to me that he was just an actor." Little creature.
  17. If there is a technology that has grown with the effort of returning to normality in Spain, it has been QR codes. This coded icon, capable of taking us to any internet address, has been strongly adopted by businesses to avoid contact of objects by many people. One way to prevent the spread of the coronavirus. However, cybercriminals have seen an open door to infect millions of mobile phones worldwide with adware. Specifically, the security company Malwarebytes has warned that the latest version of Barcode Scanner, a QR code reader, has become an unexpected Trojan. Although there are already many phones that can read QR codes from the camera application itself, many other terminals need an additional app to be able to understand them. One of the best rated was Barcode Scanner, an app with more than 73,000 reviews in the Google store with a rating of 4 and a half stars out of 5. Nothing was suspicious. Beware of this code reader With the latest update of the app, Barcode began to show false security problems on the phone, thus inviting users to install an additional application to clean up suspected dangerous software. In reality, both the Cleaner and the code reader were the real threat to millions of mobiles around the world. The most striking case of Barcode Scanner is not only the thousands of good reviews it had, but it has been one of the Android references for reading QR codes for years. So much so, that in November of last year it was part of the Play Pass program, the application program selected by Google and for which users pay a monthly subscription. By virtue of its success, everything indicates that the app has changed hands to a new developer and, according to the specialized forum, everything indicates that this change has been key to introducing advertising malware in the latest update of the application. Now, it is impossible to download the application from the Play Store because Google has deleted it, however, it is still installed on millions of phones around the world, with the risk involved. In addition, the developer who signs the latest Barcode update has another selection of applications in the Android mobile store, with which they are now looked at with a magnifying glass after the performance in the main app and the distrust it generates.
  18. The AMD RDNA3 architecture on which this hypothetical RX 7900 XT would be based is a great unknown. We do not know under which lithograph it will be manufactured, since AMD has only indicated that it will be in an "advanced node". This is because jumping from the 7nm node to the 5nm node can be a bit more complicated than expected. It is pointed out from Asia that the RDNA3 architecture that will give life to the RX 7000 will be a very strong bet. The new architecture will most likely use an MCM type GPU design, much like the Ryzen architecture. A hypothetical RX 7900 XT could have 80 Compute Units, although rumor has it. It is also highlighted that these graphs could have a much higher efficiency than that offered by the RDNA2. Note that the RDNA2 architecture is 50% more efficient than the RDNA architecture when using the 7nm process. There are many unknowns about it, but performance is also discussed. It is indicated that RDNA3 could offer between x2 and x2.5 times more performance than RDNA2. This would mean that AMD would finally catch up with NVIDIA in terms of graphics cards and especially in RayTracing. But all these are rumors that at the moment cannot be confirmed in any way. We do not know what the final design will be and we do not know in which lithograph they will be manufactured. Come on, we don't know anything and these rumors seem to be a very idyllic hypothesis.
  19. Thanks to innovative engineering solutions, it has been possible to incorporate into the elegant and versatile body of the S-MAX a low consumption hybrid powertrain - consisting of an electric and a gasoline block - without compromising space, flexibility or the sporty driving experience of the model. The new S-MAX Hybrid reduces CO2 emissions by more than 10 percent (WLTP) compared to the equivalent EcoBlue diesel powertrain. The combination of a 2.5-liter Atkinson cycle gasoline engine, a 1.1 kWh lithium-ion battery, an electric motor, and the latest generation of Ford's power-split transmission allows for a seamless driving experience, which helps Active families to reduce their CO2 emissions while enjoying more relaxed trips. Electric power comes into play in a smart way, either to boost the fuel efficiency of the gasoline engine or to offer quiet, purely electric driving for short periods, depending on the scenario. The battery is charged automatically thanks to the action of the gasoline engine and regenerative charging technology, which is activated when slowing down or braking. With no need for the user to connect the vehicle to an external power source, the S-MAX Hybrid is designed to fit perfectly into family life, always ready to deliver an electrified driving experience regardless of unpredictable time changes. The elegant S-MAX Hybrid blends sporty exterior styling with the practicality and flexibility of a tourer. It offers various combinations for seats and cargo space, easily configurable, and can have a capacity of up to 2,200 liters when counted from the rear of the first row of seats. Towing capacity ranges from 1,560 kg to 1,750 kg, depending on the variant. "The S-MAX is the original sports active vehicle - now with purely electric drivability for the first time, it is even more attractive to a new generation of customers," said Roelant de Waard, Ford's Head of Passenger Cars. Europe. "From a sporty, car-like driving experience to seats that fold down at the touch of a button, innovations that fit in with family life have always been an important part of the S-MAX's appeal. This marks the difference, and it makes its new hybrid powertrain variant the natural evolution of the range. " Ford is also offering for the first time a fully hybrid variant of the Galaxy seven-seater minivan. The new Galaxy Hybrid uses the same sophisticated gasoline-electric powertrain as the S-MAX Hybrid, achieving fuel efficiency that rivals the diesel version, and an optimized driving experience. Electric power without the need for plugs The new S-MAX Hybrid can continue to offer all the space and flexibility of the existing S-MAX models, both in the five- and seven-seater variants, thanks to the integration of its 60-cell lithium-ion battery within a waterproof and shock absorbing structure, located under the floor of the trunk. The 1.1 kWh battery pack uses liquid cooling technology that allows battery cells to be packed tightly together, increasing efficiency and saving space. A specially designed dual outlet exhaust system is positioned around the battery to help achieve a low position for maximum practicality. This configuration allows the S-MAX Hybrid to accept loads up to almost 1 meter high and more than 1 meter wide between the rear wheel space. Even with the seven seats in the upright position, it offers a capacity of 285 liters of luggage space. Electric power helps optimize the S-MAX driving experience. Regenerative braking technology captures up to 90 percent of the energy normally lost in braking, and is used to recharge the battery. Power is sent to an electric motor that can drive the front wheels on its own for a quiet start from a standstill. This block also offers purely electric driving for short periods, for maximum refinement and emission-free driving, especially in urban environments. The liquid battery cooling system eliminates the need for a cooling fan, helping to further reduce noise levels inside the cabin. In addition, the electric motor works together with the gasoline motor to offer a fuel efficiency of 6.4 l / 100 km and CO2 emissions of 146-147 g / km WLTP, making the S-MAX Hybrid an attractive alternative to Ford's EcoBlue diesel engines. The 190 hp propulsion system is capable of taking the vehicle from 0 to 100 km / h in 9.8 seconds. Smooth, linear acceleration complements the S-MAX's inherently sporty character, which is supported by a redesigned engine-generator that seamlessly switches between pure electric, hybrid and gasoline power. The Ford-developed power-split transmission on this self-charging hybrid model also includes a simulated gear shift function to further enhance the sporty driving experience. As the vehicle speed changes, the system automatically adjusts the engine revolutions, thus generating greater sensation in the driver. Gear selection is controlled by a sleek, ergonomic dial, which includes a mode that maximizes engine braking when towing or driving down steep grades for a more comfortable ride and optimal energy recovery. The advanced powertrain also enables a towing capacity of up to 1,750 kg for the five-seater variant of the S-MAX Hybrid, and 1,560 kg for the seven-seater variant. Technology to eliminate the stress of driving Intuitive features help drivers monitor and improve their fuel and energy efficiency through interfaces to the available 10-inch digital instrument display. The Brake Coach encourages gradual braking to help return more power to the battery, and the EV Coach helps drivers understand when they are using electric or hybrid power. S-MAX Hybrid occupants can enjoy connectivity even on the go thanks to the standard FordPass Connect modem, which provides WiFi for up to 10 devices, and enables drivers to plan faster and less stressful trips with Live updates. Traffic for the navigation system. In addition, FordPass Connect enables remote functions such as door unlocking, vehicle status and location through the FordPass mobile application, as well as the sophisticated Ford Local Hazard Information system. This technology can warn drivers of potentially dangerous situations on the road, even if the incident is not visible as it is around a curve or is obscured by other vehicles. To make long journeys more comfortable for the driver and passenger, the Trend and Titanium variants feature 18-way adjustable seats, and have the seal of approval from the leading spinal health organization Aktion Gesunder Rücken e.V. ("Campaign for Healthier Backs"). The S-MAX Hybrid Vignale comes with heated and cooled driver and passenger seats, 10-way adjustable and with massage function. All three second row seats feature Isofix points for safe positioning of child safety seats, and the second and third row Easy Fold seats maximize cargo space when individually folded using a control panel located in the trunk. Hands-free tailgate technology, also available, makes it easy to access the trunk space when transporting shopping bags, packages or small children. The Galaxy Hybrid: First Class Travel The new Ford Galaxy Hybrid is now available with the same 190 hp hybrid powertrain - consisting of an electric and a gasoline engine - as the S-MAX Hybrid. The Galaxy Hybrid minivan offers first-class travel for seven occupants as standard; It is available in the Titanium variant, which offers a fuel efficiency of 6.4-6.5 l / 100 km, CO2 emissions of 148-149 g / km WLTP, and acceleration from 0 to 100 km / h in 10.0 seconds. 3 Like the S-MAX Hybrid, the spacious Galaxy Hybrid continues to offer all the practicality of the rest of the Galaxy range, including more than 1 meter of headroom for first and second row passengers, 2,339 liters of storage capacity. cargo behind from the first row of seats, and 300 liters of cargo volume with all seven seats in place. "The new S-MAX Hybrid and the Galaxy Hybrid are just two of 17 electrified vehicles that Ford will introduce to European customers later this year," said De Waard. "We are offering a wide range of electrified powertrains, ranging from mild-hybrid to purely electric, which means that each customer can find the perfect model that best suits their lifestyle." The S-MAX Hybrid and Galaxy Hybrid, as well as their lithium-ion battery packs, are assembled at the company's manufacturing plant in Valencia, Spain.
  20. Copper is about to post its longest rally in history, but the metal considered a barometer of the global economy has recently faltered, with traders looking to Washington and Beijing for clues about the next rise. Traders and major investors say the market needs more good news before prices can continue to climb. Much will depend on when US President Joe Biden's cornavirus relief bill passes and how extensive it is; how quickly vaccines are distributed; and how much Chinese demand, the world's largest buyer of commodities, declines due to efforts to curb the spread of the pandemic during Lunar New Year celebrations. "People are generally optimistic about the long-term outlook globally, but this is about when it will consolidate," said Jon Lamb, a portfolio manager at Orion Resource Partners managing $ 6.3 billion at the end of September. “It is the clarity on what those initiatives will look like - from the next round of covid aid funding to the covid stimulus infrastructure projects where electric vehicles and renewable energy will be big focuses - and timing will be the catalyst. ”. Due to its widespread use, from pipes and electronic products to electric vehicles, copper is widely considered a barometer of the world economy. Bets on a global rebound after lockdowns around the world, a rapid recovery in China and green economy initiatives in the United States pushed copper to a nearly eight-year high in early January. Copper has risen for ten consecutive months, and an eleventh rise would mark the longest monthly rally since the London Metal Exchange copper contract began trading in its current form in 1986. The metal is on track to surpass that milestone with a rise of more than 3% so far in February, but the rally has lagged the Bloomberg Commodity Index in recent months. Last week, prices briefly closed below its 50-day moving average, in a bearish technical signal seen only for a second period in copper's historic rally. Copper fell below its 50-day moving average as the rally slowed. Details are also lacking on long-term initiatives by the Biden Administration that would benefit copper, such as those on infrastructure and climate change. While they are a top priority, it is unclear what the appetite in Congress will be for a big spending plan or how quickly the bills will pass. It is not just the moment of economic recovery that plagues copper. There are short-term factors that make it a less attractive bet. The upcoming Lunar New Year holiday, which begins on February 11, means less demand in China. In the US, the recent recovery of the dollar has not helped. Copper is priced in dollars, which makes it more expensive for investors using other currencies. The Bloomberg Dollar Spot Index rose 0.9% last month, the first monthly gain in four months. While the majority on Wall Street is bracing for a surge in prices, the rally is not without doubt. Analysts at JPMorgan Chase & Co. said last week that the current China-driven supercycle peaked and Chinese investment growth is forecast to slow. Copper prices will decline from an average of US $ 7,700 per ton in the first quarter to US $ 6,500 in the fourth quarter. Inflation Short-term difficulties aside, the bulls say copper still has a lot to offer. The risk of inflation due to the size of President Biden's aid plan, overshadowing the 2009 bailout package, could also be an advantage for copper. Rising inflation means higher prices for the metal when in demand during a stimulus-driven recovery. Investors' inflationary expectations have risen to an average of 2.2% over the next decade, based on operations in the Treasury debt market. The figure is higher than a post-pandemic low of 0.55% last March. Higher inflation expectations could further boost copper prices.
