After a couple of weeks in second place, It Takes Two has become Steam’s top selling game. The playful co-op game has been selling consistently since launch, and continues to grow in players. Part of this success no doubt lies in the friends pass, wherein two players only need to own one copy between them to get in on the fun. In second is the new Stellaris DLC pack, Nemesis, which our Joe Robinson has lovingly dubbed as its “Star Wars expansion”. The reception is unsurprising, given our Marcello Perricone called it “perhaps the most impactful expansion released in a while” in his review. Three other, older games are re-entering the chart: Monster Hunter: World – Iceborne, at seventh, The Forest in eighth, and Satisfactory slinks in for tenth. This makes it the first week since Valheim debuted where both of Coffee Stain Studios’ games have made the list, the Viking game moving from seventh to sixth. Forza Horizon 4 drops from third to ninth, Sea of Thieves retains fourth, and Outriders, last week’s top seller, drops to fifth. According to Metacritic, It Takes Two is the best-reviewed game of 2021. We spoke to the director, Josef Fares, about why he’d love to see more co-operative multiplayer games. Here’s a complete guide to Stellaris’ DLC, and a Stellaris short film is in production, scheduled to come out in June.

The development of DDR5 memory technology has accelerated rapidly in recent months and the first to hit 10 GHz will be Netac. Micron has begun shipping the initial shipment of the first DDR5 memory chips to memory module manufacturers to begin trial production of the first engineering samples. And already surprising results are beginning to be seen by some manufacturers. T-FORCE confirms that its DDR5 memory can operate at 2.6V voltage thanks to a new power management mechanism that is now installed on the modules themselves instead of being controlled by the motherboard chipset. In the case of Netac, they plan to invest in research and development of DDR5 memory to reach 10,000 MHz in the future although it is not near. DDR5 offers great opportunities for all manufacturers At launch, DDR5 memory is expected to offer at least 4800 MHz as this is the default memory speed supported by the upcoming Intel Alder Lake series. But some already expect frequencies as high as 8,400 MHz. To reach those 10 GHz that Netac promises with its DDR5 RAM, it will require a lot of overclocking and a suitable platform. This is possible due to its development in memory performance and R&D. The first batch of DDR5 memory to ship to Netac is Micron's Z9ZSB module, which have a capacity of 2Gx8 and timings of 40-40-40. Both AMD and Intel are currently developing their DDR5-capable platforms. AMD hasn't confirmed when we can expect the AM5 socket-based series, which should also support the Zen4 CPU and the PCIe Gen5 standard. This platform should launch later this year, and that's when the first DDR5 memory could be available to consumers.

The British driver, who won three weeks ago in Bahrain, will start from pole in Imola (Italy) after having avoided the threat of Red Bull. The Mexican Sergio Pérez and the Dutch Max Verstappen will start from the second and third places on the grid, confirming the good moment of the energy drink team, although that is not enough - not at least yet - to dilute the first leader of the World Cup . The Englishman signed his 99th pole position in Formula One on Saturday. He extended his own record. Moved by the strength of his rivals, the seven-time world champion and defending champion earned the right to start this Sunday's race in first place at the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix. He got 35 thousandths from Sergio Pérez, which is hardly anything in the measurement of times. That's how tight the battle is this season, even if the Stevenage driver continues to command. At the Autodromo Enzo e Dino Ferrari in Imola, the English will be especially watched. To the right of him, the threat of the 'Checo', who has never before been seen so close to the first place. It's the best grade of his life. And, just behind, Max Verstappen. Hamilton will not have a squire in the first corners, since the Finn Valtteri Bottas, his teammate at Mercedes, could only be eighth. He was overtaken in the qualifying session by the Monegasque Charles Leclerc (Ferrari), the French Pierre Gasly (AlphaTauri), the Australian Daniel Ricciardo (McLaren) and the British Lando Norris (McLaren), whose Race Direction canceled his best lap for exceeding the limits of the layout. His presence in second place was fleeting, although enough to warn that they too can leave their mark on the Italian track. Frenchman Esteban Ocon (Alpine) and Canadian Lance Stroll (Aston Martin), ninth and tenth, will defend their place in the points. A comeback is required, instead, the Spanish Carlos Sainz. Eager to put up a good showing on the circuit that bears the name of the Ferrari founder, the Madrilenian will have to progress from eleventh after a rather discreet qualifying session. He acknowledged, however, that he could not complete a single good lap, that he is still "green" and that he can improve his time 2 or 3 tenths. Without the desired speed, his compatriot Fernando Alonso (Alpine) was also cut off in the second qualifying round. The Asturian, two times Formula One world champion, will start the race from fifteenth place, determined to score his first points of the course. From Bahrain, three weeks ago, he left empty.

In response to the expulsion from the United States of 10 Russian diplomats, a move announced Thursday by US President Joe Biden, along with a new battery of sanctions for "destabilizing" activities, Russia will do the same with another 10 US diplomats. This was announced yesterday by the Russian Foreign Minister, Sergei Lavrov. At the same time, the US ambassador in Moscow, John Sullivan, has received Lavrov's recommendation to go to Washington for consultations at the White House on the current state of relations between the two countries, a formula that is bilaterally contemplated that it does not mean a full-fledged expulsion for him, since Sullivan retains the possibility of returning later to his embassy in the Russian capital. Last month, when the US president called his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin a "murderer", Russia ordered its ambassador to the US capital, Anatoly Antonov, to return to Moscow, where he still remains, to discuss and analyze at the Ministry. of Foreign Affairs an in-depth review of relations. Sanction against the US attorney general Lavrov also dropped yesterday the possibility of more deportations of personnel from the US Embassy in Moscow so that it is equal in number of employees with the Russian Diplomatic Legation in Washington. He also assured that the Russian government is preparing to sanction eight US officials, including the US attorney general and the director of the FBI, who will not be able to travel to Russia; and various institutions accused of trying to interfere in the "political life" of Russia. The spokeswoman for the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zajárova, already warned on Thursday that Russia's response would be "forceful", "irreversible" and "reciprocal", although much harsher have been the measures of the United States against Russia adopted by Biden. They have involved, in addition to the expulsion of 10 members of the Russian Embassy, sanctions against 32 entities and individuals and a ban on US financial institutions from acquiring Russian sovereign debt.

Spotify launches its car player called Car Thing, which is free but you pay the shipping costs. It is only available in some American territories. Today, many use Spotify as their main music hub, having it all available through streaming on the Internet, access to podcasts and recommendation systems linked to an account. Its use is spreading and its use in cars is obvious. But not all cars have included access to the mobile via Bluetooth or integrated Spotify, with which they have produced the Car Thing device so that anyone can listen to Spotify in the car. Now everyone can listen to Spotify in the car The Spotify Car Thing is a device with limited connections, which connects via Bluetooth to control Spotify without the need to touch the phone screen and can be operated with voice commands. It is intended for people who drive older cars without integrated infotainment systems or telephone connections. You still need to be connected to the power and to the phone, with what in the end is a dedicated control for Spotify, with its dedicated screen and voice controls. For now, you need a connection to stream content, nothing to use the content downloaded locally. It should be said that for now, everything that surrounds Spotify's Car Thing to listen to music in the car is a project. Nothing indicates that this will be a trend in the future, especially since many modern cars already include multimedia functions and internet or smartphone connection. It could be a way to bring and make Spotify more accessible to countries with fewer resources or something very limited for some users who do not have cars with smart functions. For now, Spotify is taking this with a grain of salt and will take some time to deliver news on this device.

Surprising success of NVIDIA's CMP line NVIDIA's CMP lineup is made up of four card models that share some similarities to existing and past GeForce generations of Nvidia. They do not have any video output so they are not exactly useful for playing video games, and they are more expensive than normal ones. But that does not prevent the miners are taking them in masses. A major group of cryptocurrency miners recently placed an order worth millions of dollars for a shipment of CMP GPUs. This move alone accounts for much of the revenue for this NVIDIA division. The order value causes the Ampere and Turing chips to sell for thousands of dollars in the face of such demand. But that matters little to miners because some of the mining operations increasingly demand higher hash rates and the value of cryptocurrencies increases. Nvidia can meet the demand, but does not believe that it can supply the rest of the sectors throughout this year. They could increase the supply, but they do not want to encounter the situation in 2018 where they had excess stock again.

71% of Spanish employees prefer a reduced workday of four days, according to a survey by Hays, one of the main human resources companies. It should be remembered that the Government is studying the implementation of the four-day work week in some companies as a test. For this pilot plan it has budgeted 50 million euros. However, when asked about the main changes to improve work-life balance, the reduction of the working day (to four working days or hours) only 71% of the employees consulted. 34% emphasize that the current conciliation is already good, while 20% ask for more flexibility and 18% request more teleworking. Salvador Sicart, director of Hays Response and Hays IT Services in Spain, points out that “the most significant thing is when he asks what could be done to improve work-life balance. There we see that reducing working hours is one more measure, but not the main one ». "There is a favorable trend towards this initiative, but it is also the typical idea that when it starts it seems good but later it is not so good when the benefits and counterparts are analyzed well," he adds. Among the reasons why the majority of employees who are in favor of implementing the four-day working day, the main one is the improvement of worker motivation (54%). It is also important to highlight the improvement in productivity (35%). On the other hand, the factors that lead 29% of employees to negatively assess this measure are: having more stress for working fewer hours (29%), being less productive (28%), and having worse results for working fewer hours ( 19%). Sicart comments that “in the current environment in which there are more and more variable components in salaries, perhaps there are employees who with this type of measures have it more difficult to achieve their objectives. It is a 'work in progress' measure, but we have to be aware that it will not be able to please everyone. If the conciliation is favored more, perhaps it affects the salary and the results, so the companies that adopt it will have to prioritize which problem they want to solve ”, he highlights.

There are countless ways to open Google Lens: from Google Photos, from the share menu, from the camera application, from the Assistant ... All of them are concentrated on Android, but now Google Lens makes the leap to the desktop, although with shy step. Google Lens is showing up in suggestion mode when viewing a photo on the Google Photos web. Said suggestion comes under the name Copy text from image and it does just that: analyze the text in the image and allow you to copy it to the clipboard. Copy text from a photo with Google Photos web Google has found one more place to put Google Lens: on the Google Photos website. The foray of Google Lens into the Google photos service is not far from it - it is one of the first places where we were able to test Lens - but until now it was possible to do it only in the Google Photos app and not on the web. This integration of Google Lens in Google Photos web comes in the form of a modest suggestion to copy text in those images that have text. Like the rest of the suggestions, you don't have much control over when they appear or when they don't, they are automatic. Clicking on this suggestion opens a panel that includes the text detected within the current image. Just like how it works on Android, you can click on the text blocks in the photo to select a specific fragment, as well as use the side panel to copy all the detected text directly to the clipboard, with Copy Text. This integration of Google Lens on the Google Photos web is still only a small fraction of the capabilities of Google Lens, and it is somewhat strange that Google still does not allow the use of other types of recognition such as object recognition. We will see if it ends up arriving in the future, and if it does so in a way in which the user can activate it manually.

Last month, NVIDIA released a series of dedicated mining graphics cards, known as CMPs, in order to cater to miners and make room for sales of gamer graphics. The result? Even NVIDIA is surprised by the sales. NVIDIA initially expected a profit of only $ 50 million for its CMP line. But in this short period of time it has tripled it. They have reached 150 million benefits in a short period of time, they have increased it three times, to 150 million dollars. All this with cards that only serve to mine cryptocurrencies.

Of the 13 brands that reported results, six had positive results in March: Dina (2,400 percent), Freightliner (5.3 percent), Hino (55.5 percent), Isuzu (11.2 percent), Kenworth (91.1 percent) and Volkswagen Trucks and Buses (70.8 percent). In the accumulated result for the first quarter, there are five brands with annual advance: Dina (1,250 percent), Freightliner (1.0 percent), Hino (14.4 percent), Kenworth (35.1 percent) and Volkswagen Trucks and Buses (41.2 percent). ). By segments, the positive cargo performance stands out with an advance of 24.6 percent in March 2021. This increase implied 467 additional units sold at retail, of which 268 were cargo, with an annual advance of 26.8 percent, and 189 tractor units with an annual increase of 22.1 percent. On the other hand, the passenger segment continues to decline 7.0 percent, with 29 units less sold. Foreign buses had a negative performance with 88 units less, while passage registered advance of 59 units, representing these levels a decline of 76.5 percent and an increase of 19.5 percent, respectively. With data for the first quarter 2021, the greatest impact on sales was recorded by the passenger segment, specifically the foreign bus segment with a decrease of 86.1 percent, that is, 242 units less. The urban passenger segment presents an annual decline of 7.1 percent, while the cargo segment advanced 8.5 percent, tractors closed the first quarter with advance of 15.7 percent and the rest of cargo vehicles with an increase of 2.2 percent . "The retail market for heavy vehicles during the third month of 2021 presented a favorable performance, constituting the second consecutive annual advance of 2021, a situation that gives a positive signal for the sector and for the economy," said Guillermo Rosales, CEO AMDA Deputy. The accumulated performance, already in positive territory, of the commercialization of heavy vehicles reflects the relative improvement in some of the monitoring indicators. An example of this was the progress data registered in business confidence in the transport sector, which according to the Business Confidence Indicator published by INEGI for the month of March refers to an annual increase of 4.4 percent, breaking the consecutive fall that it had shown since January 2020 . Notwithstanding the foregoing, the latest data published and referring to the month of January 2021 show how investment in machinery and equipment continues to contract, standing in an annual comparison of -5.0 percent with respect to January 2020, on a par with investment in construction that fell 11.7 percent in the annual comparison of the same month. This situation, added to the comparative base that in 2020 that already contemplates the effects of the pandemic on economic activity and the sector in particular, leads to maintaining expectations for the global performance of 2021, according to the latest survey of expectations of the Banco de México, the estimate of economic growth for our country for 2021 indicates an advance of 4.2 percent. In the case of the commercialization of heavy vehicles, the annual data observed without considering foreign buses was 7,130 units, which was positioned 10 percent above the estimated data in the average scenario (6,484 units). In comparison with the high scenario, which contemplated 6,871 units, the observed figure was 3.8 percent higher. Even with challenges in economic, social and health matters, it is expected that during 2021 the commercialization of heavy retail vehicles (without considering foreign buses), including data observed in the first quarter of 2021, could reach 30,660 units, this would represent an advance of 16 percent per year.

Section 17 of the Provincial Court of Madrid has fully confirmed the dismissal of the Delcygate case, which was agreed in November by the Court that had been investigating it when it did not see evidence of a crime in the actions of the officials of the Adolfo Suárez Madrid Barajas Airport during the passage through the facilities of the Venezuelan Vice President Delcy Rodríguez. In a car notified this Tuesday, the magistrates thus reject Vox's appeal against the file of the proceedings agreed by the Investigative Court number 31 of Madrid, in line with the criteria of the Prosecutor's Office, after reaching the conclusion that Rodríguez, that his access to the European Union was forbidden, he did not enter Spain when his plane landed in Barajas in January 2020 because he stayed and spent the night in a terminal hall, "airport transit area" until he "boarded another flight" . In its resolution, the Provincial Court takes as a reference the conclusion reached by the Supreme Court when it ruled on the same facts in relation to the Minister of Transport José Luis Ábalos, who received Rodríguez that night and met with her and had received a complaint for trespass. The Second Chamber shelved the investigations as it did not appreciate any evidence of a crime in the case of the minister, after considering that Rodríguez was prohibited from accessing community territory and that he spent the night of January 19 to 20 in the transit areas of the Madrid airport . “These being the facts considered already accredited by the Supreme Court (which would make it unnecessary to carry out proceedings in the present case to verify them), what happens is that the Supreme Court itself, as has been said, considers that these facts do not they are constitutive of any criminal offense ", recalls now the Provincial Court. It thus concludes that "in the present case there is no prevaricating or other criminal conduct, as stated by the Supreme Court, for which reason the appeal filed should be dismissed and consequently the agreed file proceeds", which is confirmed "in full" despite the appeal of Vox.

Apple's intentions to create an iMessage app available for Android devices have been rescued from the statements of Epic Games in the trial that began in May against Apple. This is a judicial process that began with Epic's lawsuit against the American giant for the latter's decision to remove Epic applications from the App Store. This situation arose from the creation by Epic of a payment system independent of Apple and without commission, a move that led Apple to eliminate Epic services from its platforms and to terminate all its developer accounts and tools in iOS and Mac. Thus, in statements by the video game developer rescued from the trial document 'Considerations of fact and conclusions of law' of the court for the Northern District of California, Apple "decided not to develop a version of iMessage for the Android operating system," in a Quote attributed to Apple's SVP of Internet Software and Services, Eddy Cue. The court brief details that the iMessage service for Android was designed with "cross compatibility with the iOS platform so that users of both platforms could have exchanged messages with each other without problems." In the same document, another quote from Cue is detailed in which he says that "Apple has recognized the power of iMessage to attract users within its ecosystem." Thus, the idea of cross-compatibility and the project were scrapped because of Apple's senior vice president of software engineering, Craig Federighi, fear of losing users for this reason: "iMessage on Android would only serve to remove an obstacle for iPhone families. giving your kids Android mobiles. " Apple's chief marketing officer, Phil Schiller, agreed with this consideration: "More than helping us, bringing iMessage to Android will do us more harm." According to the brief, a former Apple employee commented in 2016 that "the most difficult reason to leave the Apple universe is iMessage."

The Norwegian says the British team's track record in handling regulatory changes makes it the ideal place when a hybrid-powered Rally1 formula replaces World Rally Cars as the top category in 2022. "M-Sport would be a really good place to be in 2022," Mikkelsen said. “If you look back, do you remember 2017? It seems like M-Sport is always really strong right out of the box and then maybe the other manufacturers with the bigger budgets are picking up a bit afterwards. I want to be in first class again and, as I said, M-Sport is a very good place to be. The British team was the fastest to break off the blocks when the final incarnation of the World Rally Car regulations was introduced in 2017. Sébastien Ogier scored a dominant victory in a Fiesta at Rallye Monte-Carlo that opened the season. Mikkelsen added that he feels he has a lot to offer in terms of continued development with the new car for the M-Sport Ford 22. "I have a lot of experience in car development," Mikkelsen said. “I have worked a lot with Škoda, Citroen, Hyundai and, of course, Volkswagen. I worked with the 2012 Polo [R WRC] and did a lot of development driving that car. “One of the things that I have learned from developing cars is that you need the car to run in as wide a window as possible. You need a fairly neutral car and this is what we had with the Polo and that's why it worked as well as it did. Mikkelsen is driving for Toksport in WRC2 this season and while his focus remains handing over the WRC2 title to the Germany-based Škoda team, he is more than ready to step back to a World Rally Car should a manufacturer hit. He dominated WRC2 at the season opener at Rally Monte Carlo, then finished second to Esapekka Lappi's Volkswagen Polo R5 in the second half at the Arctic Rally Finland. He leads by 24 points in the third round of Rally Croatia (April 22-25).

Norbert Feher will remain a wolf, but behind bars. Accused of the triple murder of two civil guards and a rancher, he has been facing a reviewable permanent prison since Monday and another string of crimes, committed in December 2017 in the Bajo Aragón region. There the Serb (who has also used Russian and Hungarian identities) sowed terror and planted the curse of senseless crime on a handful of families. Igor the Russian, as he is known, will sit on the bench of the Teruel Court with the backpack of a life sentence in Italy for murdering two people in April 2017 and with another 21-year-old who was imposed the same Hearing that is now judging him for trying to kill two residents of the Teruel region, nine days before the triple crime. His record is comparable to that of any ETA gunman. A jury will see his face through a bullet-resistant steel and plastic armored booth made for him. Feher should have been in jail when he killed José Luis Iranzo and agents Víctor Romero and Víctor Caballero in Andorra (Teruel) because Italy had issued an arrest warrant against him for two murders, but he was not had found. Twelve owners of country houses reported damage to the locks of their 'masicos', as they are called, in October and November 2017. On December 5, Feher shot and wounded Manuel and the locksmith who accompanied him in Albalate del Arzobispo when they discovered the individual, dressed as a military man and gun in hand. The robberies in farms continued - beers, food, blankets, eggs, flashlights - and the concern and fear of running into that shadow spread throughout the region. On the afternoon of December 14, José Luis Iranzo went to pick up his father from the family farm in a place called "Mas del Saso" in the neighboring municipality of Andorra. It was 6.30 pm and Iranzo had just said goodbye to six civil guards whom he had guided to some caves in case the thief had hidden there. They did not find it. Iranzo, 40, arrived at his farm in his 'pick up' and could only open the door. Feher was waiting for him on the other side; a Beretta pistol shot him through the chest. Mortally wounded, the man tried to flee but a few steps further the murderer finished him on the ground. Father saved life Igor the Russian stole the victim's vehicle and fled. Iranzo's father, who had seen light in the house, hid behind some alpacas and could only hear someone shoot. The thief drove straight to his hideout, a nearby abandoned corral in the 'Mas de Zumino' 'masico', where he went to collect his lone wolf belongings with the gun still hot. Five civil guards, alerted by Iranzo's father and guided by a neighbor, went to "Mas del Saso": two official Nissans and the guide's car that showed them how to get there. At 6:45 p.m. they saw a vehicle with its lights on at the level of the country house to which Feher had gone, although everyone was ignorant of it. The captain ordered agents Víctor Romero and Víctor Caballero to identify that car while they continued in search of Iranzo. The two guards had practically no time for anything: the murderer was waiting for them in hiding after the 'pick up' stolen from the first victim. In his right hand he carried a Beretta and in his left a Smith & Wesson. He shot them down with eleven shots, looking for the areas of the body that were not protected by the vests. Both tried to defend themselves blindly and in the middle of the already closed night. He finished them less than 35 centimeters. He took away their service weapons, chargers, shackles, fenders and documentation and fled again. With Bajo Aragón in shock and the Civil Guard in shock, an unparalleled police device located Iranzo's 'pick up' at another point in the province, in Cantavieja, at a quarter to three in the morning. At 25 meters the wolf was hiding upside down, covering the pistol with his body, armed with a knife in his vest and one of the official Berettas on his belt. Four pistols, chargers and ammunition were intervened. Two months later yet another weapon was found in his lair. The prosecutor charged him with three crimes of murder with treachery in competition with two crimes of attack, three of robbery with violence and one of illegal possession of weapons. She asks for him a permanent reviewable prison for the deaths and 15 more years for the rest of the crimes. The private accusations that represent the families of the three victims also request permanent imprisonment, in addition to penalties ranging between 9 and 26 years. There are three po[CENSORED]r accusations, the civil guards associations AUGC and AEGC and the agrarian union UAGA. His defense calls for free absolution on the grounds that he suffers from a war neurosis disorder that prevents him from reasoning "when panicking", which implies, the lawyer maintains, "a moral insanity when observing his own life as a field of survival." . Against the Civil Guard The forensics who examined him did not perceive any alteration and this is reflected by the Prosecutor's Office in its indictment: "He does not present acute or residual psychotic symptoms, or intellectual deficit or cognitive impairment or any other type of psychiatric pathology." Unlike Igor, imprisoned in La Coruña, the families of the victims still do not raise their heads. The three murdered men had wives. Iranzo and Romero, young children, and all three, parents and siblings. The Prosecutor's Office asks for more than two million euros in compensation. Another contentious administrative procedure is pending in which patrimonial responsibility is requested from the Civil Guard for not having activated a prevention device despite the fact that it was known that an armed and dangerous wolf was hiding in Bajo Aragón. A Bible and the medal of the Pilarica Former Serbian military officer Norbert Feher arrived in Spain only months before the triple crime. He was fleeing Italy where he had been convicted of several robberies and he had murdered two men. He took refuge in an abandoned corral in Bajo Aragón from which he left to rob farm houses. In one of those robberies he was surprised by the owner, José Luis Iranzo, whom he killed. When he was arrested, eight hours later, in addition to four pistols, he was carrying two survival backpacks with all kinds of objects (razor, flashlights, batteries, telephone, clothing, bicycle parts, medicines ...) in his camouflage vest, along with With four knives, he kept a medal of the Virgen del Pilar and a tamagochi, a toy that he cared for as if it were his son. Besides the medal he wore a rosary, a crucifix and an Italian Bible. And several "Dragon Ball" card games to pass the time.

New high-speed t-FORCE CARDEA SSDs for the most demanding gamers The T-FORCE CARDEA A440 PCIe 4.0 SSD supports the PCIe Gen 4 × 4 specification, the latest NVMe 1.4 standard, and PCIe 3.0 interface ports. Not only does it support high read / write speeds of up to 7000/6900 MB / s, it will also be available in two models with 1 TB or 2 TB capacities. The T-FORCE CARDEA A440 Classic Matte Black features two of the industry's first patent-certified interchangeable thermal modules. The beveled and layered surface of the aluminum fins is specially designed to increase the heat dissipation area and can reduce the temperature of the SSD by up to 15%. Ultra-thin graphene heat sinks consist of materials that improve thermal conductivity and can dissipate heat by up to 9%. With this, they want users to not have to worry about looking for additional heatsinks to regulate the temperature of the SSD. The T-FORCE CARDEA A440 SSD uses the latest RRL technology which can improve the life of the SSD. Its optimized NVM set segmentation mechanism and PLM (Predictable Latency Mode) reduces latency and read / write wear and tear on the SSD so it doesn't wear out over use. It will be available starting in May, at a price of $ 229 for the 1TB model, and $ 429 for the 2TB model.

Diesel engine trains are used on the rest of the lines. Within the framework of the UE FCH2RAIL project —Fuel Cell Hybrid Power Pack for Rail Applications—, a consortium with partners from Belgium, Germany, Spain and Portugal is developing and testing a new emission-free train prototype, using a hybrid bimodal system that It combines the electricity supply from the overhead network with a hybrid fuel cell power pack, consisting of hydrogen fuel cells and batteries and operating independently of the former. The FCH2RAIL project was launched last January and the baseline routes and operational scenarios for the prototype have now been defined. Aerial network and hybrid system: bimodal displacement and without emissions Whenever the overhead network is available, the train is fed by the energy provided by it, whereas when this option does not exist, the energy is obtained from the fuel cell and battery system, called the fuel cell hybrid power group - Fuel cell hybrid power pack. "We want to show that this type of bimodal train is a competitive and environmentally friendly alternative to the diesel train", explains Holger Dittus, project manager and researcher at the German Aerospace Center - Automotive Prototype Institute (DLR). Currently, overhead networks are being set up on many European railway lines, a rather expensive and long-term project that depends on geographical conditions. An alternative is trains powered solely by batteries, but they have a limited range - 30 to 70 kilometers - which also depends on the characteristics of the route and the ambient temperatures. Current diesel trains have lower performance, in terms of maximum speed and acceleration, than vehicles powered by electric motors powered from overhead networks. "Our bimodal fuel cell and battery hybrid system combines the advantages of both technologies: energy from the airlines or the on-board system. In this way, rail transport is even more sustainable and energy efficient," says Sergio Gascon , Head of the Technical Project for Construction and Railway Auxiliary (CAF). The energy supply system must be designed in such a way that both power and autonomy can be expanded on the basis of a modular principle. Thus, the number of fuel cell and battery modules determines the traction power, while the number of hydrogen tanks determines the autonomy on non-electrified lines. Therefore, the tractor unit can be designed for the transportation of passengers as well as for the transportation of goods. With a budget of 14 million euros, the project aims to develop, demonstrate and validate this system within four years. The project has a financing of 10 million euros by the business union Joint Venture Fuel Cells and Hydrogen 2 (FCH 2 JU). “Our studies on hydrogen and fuel cells in the railway environment have shown that there is considerable potential for FCH technologies in this area, and that hydrogen-based trains will be an important element of a future sustainable European transport system. ”Declares Bart Biebuyck, CEO of FCH 2 JU. “The European Commission has made it clear in its hydrogen strategy that this fuel is a promising option where electrification is more difficult, such as in specific sections of the rail network. The FCH2RAIL project will demonstrate that the technology provides a flexible, zero-emission solution to replace diesel trains in these areas, and it will be interesting to see the results, ”says Biebuyck. Implementation: functional testing with a converted commuter train To know well the environmental impact of this system, from its production, through its use and until its scrapping, and to evaluate its performance in real conditions, it is planned to convert a CIVIA electric commuter train, manufactured by the Spanish company CAF , and install in it a fuel cell hybrid power pack. Renfe, for its part, will provide the train. One of the essential components of the on-board energy system is Toyota Motor Europe's (TME) integrated fuel cell modules, while batteries and electrical converters will be supplied by CAF. The first tests will be carried out on the Spanish and Portuguese railway networks with the support of the infrastructure managers - Administrator of Railway Infrastructures (ADIF) and Infraestruturas de Portugal (IP) -. The National Hydrogen Center (CNH2), based in Puertollano (Ciudad Real), has been commissioned to build a hydrogen station to refuel the prototype during the prototype tests, prior to integration into the trains. “We want to take this opportunity to work with the consortium to bring our fuel cell technology to another type of hydrogen application. Hydrogen has an important role to play in helping to decarbonize the European rail network, and we are very pleased to be able to integrate Toyota's fuel cell modules into the fuel cell hybrid power group, ”said Thiebault Paquet, Director of the Fuel Cell Division of Toyota Motor Europe (TME). System design and control, energy management and approval Until the first pilot tests are carried out, the international project team has before it a series of technological aspects to solve. For example, in the design section, the fuel cell and battery modules must be combined and controlled in such a way that the system meets all requirements, and can also be installed cost-effectively. In addition, it must be able to use the waste heat from the fuel cell modules efficiently for heating and air conditioning the train. As part of the project, air conditioning equipment manufacturer Faiveley / Stemmann Technik (STT) and DLR are investigating innovative solutions to reduce the energy demand of heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems. The project also examines norms and standards in the fields of hydrogen and rail to ensure a safe interaction between hydrogen technology and the catenary. On that basis, the project team is developing proposals for the relevant authorities to more easily authorize these trains across the EU in the near future.
