Podemos has denied ABC the access of its photographers to its headquarters in the Madrid district of Ciudad Lineal this Tuesday to offer information on the electoral results that the training achieves after the closing of the polls of the regional elections in the Community of Madrid. The formation led by Pablo Iglesias guaranteed ABC access this Sunday at noon along with the graphic editors of Efe, Europa Press and 'El Periódico de Catalunya'. However, 24 hours later, he changed his mind and denied our newspaper its entry into the headquarters to introduce the GTres agency into the news coverage approved by the populist formation, without giving any reason. ABC has been developing its informative work without any impediment on the part of the purple formation until this electoral campaign. Podemos' position coincides with today's celebration of World Press Freedom Day. Pablo Iglesias began his electoral pre-campaign in the Community of Madrid by refusing to hold press conferences or answer questions beyond the agreed interviews, as well as for the photographers of any media to graphically collect his actions, which were mostly not notified until after his execution. Two days before the beginning of the electoral campaign he rectified. The change of opinion of Podemos and the refusal of our graphic editors to access its headquarters coincides with the publication in ABC of both information last Sunday and this Monday, accounting for the arrest of one of its employees and a second directly related to the populist formation due to the riots that took place on April 7 in the Plaza de la Constitución in Vallecas during a Vox electoral act. ABC has also reported that a leader of the Bukaneros, a radical left-wing group, is part of Pablo Iglesias' security during this electoral campaign. Podemos also denied access to the ABC photographers to the campaign closing ceremony held on Sunday in the Cuña Verde park, in the Vicálvaro district, under the anti-Covid regulations. It did allow the entry of an editor.

The companies took advantage of the loose limits of Bizum to avoid paying commissions. In June you can only receive money 60 times a month. Today almost everyone uses Bizum, the app that still transfers from the most important banks in Spain to spend money quickly and without commissions. CaixaBank, Santander, BBVA, the old Bankia, Sabadell, Kutxabank, Caja Rural, Unicaja Banco, Ibercaja, Cajamar, Abanca, Bankinter, Liberbank, Laboral Kutxa, Banca March, Banco Mediolanum, Caja de Ingenieros, Cajalmendralejo, Arquia Banca, Bankoa, Banca Pueyo, Caixa Ontinyent, Cajasur, Deutsche Bank, Imagin Bank, ING, Openbank, Orange Bank and Targobank are the banks that operate with Bizum. And these banks have seen that there are companies using it to avoid paying commissions and they want to limit it. More limits on shipments by Bizum Starting next June 15, an individual will only be able to receive money about 60 times a month. And this is the maximum limit because any of the aforementioned banks can decide to allow fewer transactions. Businesses and freelancers were using this platform to charge for products and services, which has been accentuated by the pandemic due to the recommendation not to use physical money. It is true that Bizum has a plan for companies and freelancers, but many wanted to send money instantly and not pay commissions. With 15 million users, a large part of Spanish society has the ability to send money instantly to users of other banks. Bizum's basic plan is designed for individuals, but companies and freelancers that move about five income of money a day could enter within the limits of the basic plan. With the new Bizum limitations, they are left at 60 cash receipts per month, with amounts between half a euro and 1,000 euros, with a maximum of 2,000 euros per day. It is designed to send money between friends, family and small transactions, not businesses. This may affect merchants who sell at consumer fairs, such as a craftsman's stand at a medieval fair and want to attract customers through the option of paying with bizum: but there would have to be many purchases through the app for the duration of that fair .

Chinese motherboard manufacturer Onda has launched the new Chia-D32H-D4 motherboard with 32 SATA ports for hard drives and SSDs. It is obviously designed for mining and not to compete with gaming motherboards. The Chia-D32H-D4 motherboard is probably a rebranded version of Onda's existing B365 D32-D4 motherboard. It measures 530 x 310mm, so the Chia-D32H-D4 is not your typical motherboard. The unspecified 800W PSU arrives 80Plus Gold certified, while the case features five cooling fans. If you have 32 hard drives, this motherboard will get you Chia The selling point of Chia-D32H-D4 is obviously the 32 SATA ports on the motherboard, allowing you to take advantage of up to 32 hard drives. The B365 chipset can only provide a limited number of SATA ports, so Chia-D32H-D4 relies on a third-party SATA controller to increase support up to 32. At 18GB per drive, the motherboard can accommodate up to 576GB of storage for all your Chia mining activities, enough for around 5,760 101.4 GiB plots. Based on current Chia network statistics, that would be enough for about 0.05% of Chia's total network space, although it is likely to decline rapidly in the coming days if the cryptocurrency continues to become increasingly po[CENSORED]r. It comes equipped with a standard 24-pin power connector, an 8-pin EPS connector, and up to two 6-pin PCIe power connectors. The latter is designed exclusively to power hard drives. It supports Intel Skylake, Kaby Lake, Coffee Lake and Coffee Lake Refresh processors. The motherboard uses a modest six-phase power supply subsystem, but it should be sufficient to house processors up to the Core i9 level.

[Auto] VW Delivery trucks reach 150 thousand units produced
SougarLord posted a topic in Auto / Moto
Fifteen years after its commercial launch, the Delivery truck family has just reached another historic milestone: it has just reached 150 thousand vehicles produced, both at the Resende factory in Brazil and at the Mexican plant located in Querétaro. From its first version, it follows to the letter the mission for which they were conceived: vocation for urban distribution, with uncomplicated technology, robustness and great versatility. At first there were only two models, five and eight tons gross weight, but the family grew. It was completely renovated in 2017, from bumper to bumper, nothing was left out of this modernization. The first version has about 107 thousand vehicles produced. And the current version represents 43 thousand units. Today there are eight models ranging from 3.5 to 13 tons of PBT. The new Delivery line has reached 15 countries in less than five years of sales. The success of this vehicle could not be otherwise: the new Delivery family was developed with the best total cost of operation (TCO). The trucks were "built above the scale", seeking to optimize their payload as much as possible, in addition to providing better fuel economy and less wear on components. The ease of driving and the comfort of the Delivery in conjunction with the robustness of a truck are also among the secrets.

Real Madrid does not say goodbye to Europe, because its self-love is so great that it avoids its destiny time and time again. Lessons in mindset. If the outcome of Tuesday was amazing, life saved on the edge, another comeback of rubbing the eyes happened on Thursday against Anadolu Efes, this time with Usman Garuba as the absolute protagonist. There will be a fifth, on Tuesday at Sinan Erdem. And well, Pablo Laso's warriors deserve it. The ovation that was not, although they performed as if the WiZink stands were taking them in flight. Exhausted the heroes, who already have a shot at what nobody did, raise a 2-0. Laso's half smile of pride, his head held high as he left, Efes so superior, so devastated. And a 19-year-old giant. When Garuba's career is reviewed, the flights that await him in the NBA, the night he dominated who, logic said, is (or was) the top favorite to win the Euroleague will be remembered. The wounded lion bit again, although Tavares was not there either. And that the Efes was well advised. Although at dawn it did not seem so, groggy again. It was a wonderful extension of events. As if one could permanently inhabit the sky of euphoria, on the wheel of crazy games, as if it were still Tuesday night and Efes were still knocked out at WiZink. Real Madrid started out pure rock and roll, with a 17-0 run that was absolutely unthinkable. Eleven of those points went to Jaycee Carroll, who is fared the most. Both the 16-0 at the end of the third game, and the 17-0 now, seemed to belong to the genre of dreams. To those things that sport has that do not seem real. To incredible mirages. AWAKENING TURKISH Because, suddenly, reality woke up the white Cinderella, who came face to face with that ogre who had fallen asleep. The Ottoman revival, led by one of his many talents, coincided with the entry of Felipe Reyes onto the court. In the shadow of Micic and Larkin live guys like Rodrigue Beaubois, a genius from the Caribbean, class to hand out, who went into halftime with 19 points, with five triples without failure. Leader of a terrible slap. From 19-0 it went to 31-47. Madrid had returned to its gray space, to losses, to mistakes ... To frustration. The break gave him a truce, the starting five again gave a warning to Efes, with the electricity of Carroll and the power of Garuba, better with Alocen than with Laprovittola. Tyus solvent when needed. But his breath was also missing. Those of Ergin Ataman threatened to dynamite the tie once and for all, a partial of 0-11 (51-66). But the entry of Llull and Rudy, who always have an answer, gave another push to continue in the gap. It was about surviving, about sowing doubt in the rival. More difficult still when Trey Thompkins fell. When Shane Larkin, with six minutes to go, stretched the rope (59-72). And then again the miracle. Garuba was already flying huge - he finished with 24 points and 12 rebounds - but in that impasse he was unapproachable for Efes. When he swiped the ball from Larkin in the middle of the court and smashed the rim, you could already smell the denouement. Then Ataman's paralysis, overtaken again by events. A triple by Abalde, a silent hammer, and the cold blood in the free throws of Llull, Rudy, Usman himself. And another night of unthinkable events, a 23-4 run, which can only be signed by a team like Real Madrid. Unique spells from the winner who never gives up.

[Sport] Punch on the Manchester City table in Paris
SougarLord posted a topic in Sport / Biographies
"Football is war, without executions," wrote George Orwell. The author of Rebellion on the farm had, of course, a critical eye on football. This Wednesday PSG and City were scheduled to settle several fights: Qatar against Emirates, Pochettino against Guardiola, Mbappé against De Bruyne, vertigo against control, direct football against control football. But in fights they also count, and in what way, you win them. The hunger to win, the thirst for victories. And the mistakes. Of the first, the Parisian troops had much more. Of the second, a ton of excess weight. In the end the failures counted more. This time San Keylor Navas failed. And the Parisian defense, too. And City, asleep in the first half, knew how to wait for its moment. Neymar warned the first by solving a wall in the English area with a whip. It was the 12th minute and it was like a clarion call. PSG turned on the English defensive line and went ahead with a corner. In the past, a corner kick was a dangerous move, a chill in the defense, a joy in the stands. Yesteryear. In football control and pass, the corner, oh! It is no longer what it was. And in those, on the verge of the first quarter of an hour, Marquinhos rose majestically, with the sky blue defense in the clouds of the zonal defense and headed to the net a corner kick served impeccably by Di María with Ederson hanging arms. The Brazilian comes out of an injury but he was not going to miss a game like that. The captain is someone on this team, he has the Ferrari in his garage at home but rolls up his sleeves on the grass. It was his ninth goal in the Champions League. With him, and Navas, of course, the defense was, in the first half, a wall in which De Bruyne did not find that death pass. Fodden fired shortly before halftime but Keylor was there, planted like an oak. The citizens could not overcome the two Parisian defensive lines with Gueye, Paredes and Verratti showing their teeth like mastiffs. That was what PSG was and Di María came out like a bullet and put the English goal in trouble in another corner kick. Neymar, struggling in the rival area and going down for the ball. PSG was the team that ran the fewest kilometers before the ex Tottenham's arrival on the bench. Other times. Pochettino put all the gunpowder that he has on the pelouse of the Park of the Princes. Their forwards had scored 93 goals in the Champions League when the German Brych whistled the start of the match: Mbappé (27), Neymar (41), Di María (22) and Verratti (3). Now they add the same. On the night where they had to step forward, they weren't able to. They have another appointment, in a week to enter the legend. This Wednesday, they let the train pass, too bad. FROM BRUYNE, THE NEW INIESTA Guardiola left the renowned gunmen of Agüero, Gabriel Jesús and Sterling on the bank. He entrusted the keys to that Rolls Royce that is the City to De Bruyne, the new Iniesta. As Barça's long-awaited genius, De Bruyne has the virtue of making things more difficult as if they were simple. The Belgian, who has returned from a foot injury, is at 29 years old in one of the sweetest moments of his career. He has eight goals and 10 assists in the Premier and in 2016 he scored in the two quarter-finals when Manchester's team eliminated Paris. This time he complied with his custom. He contacted a Chilean. And in 64, after another corner in which Guardiola's pupils took the ball played, he served a ball to the area. He did not clear the defense and Navas ate it. Even the best writer makes a blur. Then PSG broke down. The second for City came in 70 when Mahrez threw a free kick, Paredes and Kimpembé left a gap in the barrier by jumping and Navas had to collect the ball from the net for the second time. Shortly after, Gueye with adrenaline out of control, made a criminal entrance to Gündogan and left his team with 10. Red deserved. The party went down the sink of time. Step ahead of the City of Guardiola. Pochettino's PSG stumble. As in life itself, in football you have to put yourself forward ... and not screw it up. -
This Wednesday afternoon, the po[CENSORED]r television character Juan Joya Borja, better known for 'El Risitas', died at the Virgen del Rocío Hospital in Seville. 'El Risitas' had to be transferred this noon from the Hospital de la Caridad de Sevilla (where he resided) to the Virgen del Rocío University Hospital in Seville, after a sudden relapse of his illness, where he died in mid-afternoon, according to the sources consulted by ABC de Sevilla. In September 2020, "El Risitas" was admitted to the Hospital de la Caridad in Seville, where he has resided ever since. At 65 years of age and after suffering a leg amputation as a result of an illness, 'El Risitas' requested admission to the institution that was promoted by the Venerable Miguel Mañara and manages the brotherhood of Santa Caridad de Sevilla. The po[CENSORED]r Sevillian actor and comedian rose to fame around the year 2000 from the hand of Jesús Quintero with his appearances in the programs 'El vagamundo' or 'Ratones coloraos', where he recounted his experiences together with the now disappeared 'El Peíto'. His laughter, jokes, his personality and his famous tagline of 'cuñaooo' made him po[CENSORED]r with the nickname 'El Risitas'.

Apple faces two class action lawsuits over the meaning of the words "rent" and "buy" on its AppStore. In the first lawsuit, the lead plaintiff, David Andino, argues that Apple's definition of the two words is misleading, as the company can cancel people's Apple IDs and, along with them, access to the content they purchased through the button buy. Andino argues that Apple allows consumers to rent content rather than buy it outright. If he had known that his access could be cut off at any time, he says he would not have spent as much on iTunes content. A lawsuit that could change how iTunes and the AppStore work Apple responded by arguing that no reasonable consumer would believe that content purchased through iTunes would be available on the platform indefinitely. But the judge of the United States District Court, John Méndez did not consider it valid. The judge rejected a motion filed by Apple that sought to dismiss the lawsuit, thus Andino has gone ahead with its lawsuit for misleading advertising and unfair competition, although it could still be resolved before going to trial. A second class action lawsuit against Apple claims that a user lost $ 24,590 on iTunes, the App Store and in-app purchases along with $ 7.63 in credit on an account that became inaccessible. Apple argues that it is not possible to download each and every one of its videos and apps on a single device because they would occupy more than 1 TB. No Apple device has that capacity and Apple argues that they offer cloud storage and access and download, and that is what you pay for. These lawsuits could set a precedent in the area of user rights. If they go ahead and rule in favor of the plaintiffs, users could have indefinite access to their digital purchases and not be bound by the conditions of the App Store even if their accounts have been deleted to access any digital store.

After several delays, NVIDIA will finally release its new RTX 3080 Ti graphics card in May according to various sources. A source has provided a first photograph of the new Ampere GPU. As previously reported, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti GPU is based on the GA102-225 GPU, and the variant will feature 10,240 CUDA cores paired with 12GB of GDDR6X memory. It is speculated that it will have hashing limitation to discourage Ethereum mining, but it seems that the first models that have been leaked do not have it. The first benchmark of the RTX 3080 Ti is mining Ethereum Reportedly by a leaked version of the NVIDIA RTX 3080 Ti, it appears that the graphics card is not recognized by the driver because the sample being tested is dated before NVIDIA introduced its alleged cryptocurrency mining limiter. Before this was reported to the AIBs, the GeForce RTX 3080 Ti rating samples did not have the limiter. This was revealed by the Igor’sLAB portal. It is not known which rating sample was tested by the leaker, or whether this rating is true. But it is possible that the mining performance depicted in this leak belies the inclusion of the limitation that NVIDIA promised. Based on the screenshot, this particular GeForce RTX 3080 Ti sample would deliver an ETH mining hash rate of 118.9 Mh / s after optimizations like lowering the TDP to 278W and the memory clock to 21.4 Gbps. This makes the NVIDIA RTX 3080 Ti highly desired by miners. This benchmark based on a leak also reveals clock speeds of the NVIDIA RTX 3080 Ti of 1365 MHz and increase of 1665 MHz. That makes it lower than the RTX 3080 and RTX 3090. The 12 GB GDDR6X memory appears to be set to 1188 MHz by default, confirming a speed of 19 Gbps, just like the regular RTX 3080.

The study “An Agenda for Equity-Centered Clean Transportation” found that the clean transportation policies applied in the last decade in the state have not benefited all Californians in the same way. . The researchers found that the low-income communities most affected by pollution have been largely left behind in the “green transition,” which threatens to impact communities of all economic levels through climate change. Following the findings, the researchers recommend creating a regulatory framework to ship zero-emission vehicles on a large scale to low-income areas. "Our state's zero-emission vehicle strategy must take equity into account from the beginning of its creation," the researchers stressed in a statement. The biggest obstacle to achieving environmental goals appears to be the difficulty of offering access to zero-emission vehicles (ZEVs) to moderate- and low-income drivers, who are more likely to own older, polluting vehicles. In response, the researchers recommend continuing reforms to lower the purchase price of new and used zero-emission vehicles, subsidize vehicle financing, and lower the cost of both fuel and electrical infrastructure. The study is revealed as state lawmakers deliberate Governor Gavin Newsom's 2021-2022 budget, which includes a $ 1.5 trillion fiscal bill to meet ZEV vehicle goals for decades to come. “As California transitions to a zero-emission transportation system, a robust and multifaceted agenda of clean transportation policies focused on equity is needed,” said J.R. DeShazo, director of the Luskin Center for Innovation.

Oh, if the intensity, passion, poise and determination that Athletic showed this Sunday had shown it in the two lost Cup finals, many in Bilbao will now think. And they will be right in the lament. Given that it is already late, that nothing he does will be worth him to be champion, Marcelino's team chose to resurrect to condition the outcome of the League, to set fire to the fight for the title. The most convincing Athletic in months defeated Atlético (2-1), which is still the leader, but already with the breath of the pursuers in the neck: they have Madrid and Barça at two points - with one game pending - and three Sevilla, who is still there even though nobody pays much attention to him. Simeone's are still dependent on themselves, but they no longer have a network. Perhaps the Madrid team did not deserve so much punishment, but it paid dearly for its inability to set up clear shots. Not even the return from the bench of Luis Suárez -almost unpublished- and Joao Félix -more virguero than practical- gave Atlético the wings it needed to defeat Athletic. He managed to tie the initial goal, but Iñigo Martínez returned him to the previous point, leaving Cholo's men to zero in San Mamés and filling him with doubts that he no longer had for the final stretch of the championship. Neither the return of Luis Suárez, Joao Félix and Lemar altered Simeone's initial plans. The Argentine deployed on San Mamés, from a kind of very dynamic 4-3-3, the same 11 players who had beaten Eibar (5-0) and Huesca (2-0), with the only variation of Felipe instead of the sanctioned Giménez. More doubts generated the alignment that Marcelino was going to raise, after so many recent setbacks. Already devoid of qualifying objectives, the Asturian seems determined to take advantage of this final stretch of the League so that the club's young projects can add minutes in the First Division. Hence the bets on Villalibre and Sancet in the positions that Williams and Raúl García usually occupy - last minute preventive drop due to a few tenths of fever - and also the presence of Morcillo and Vencedor. However, this is football, the certainties that some accumulated and the doubts of the others were reduced to erroneous previous material in just eight minutes. After three games of total drought, Athletic once again celebrated a goal after a quick counterattack to Lodi's back. Capa took the center out and Berenguer was lucky to bounce off an Atlético defender and the ability to intuit the new direction of the ball to overtake Bilbao with a header. The Navarrese now has eight in the league, more than anyone in Athletic and only behind Llorente (11) in the total list of midfielders. The goal felt like a stab at a flat and predictable Atlético. Koke, Saúl and Herrera were inconsequential, Llorente and Trippier failed to display their usual depth and Correa was always too lonely for Atlético to take advantage of his mischief. Only a skirmish of his in the area brought Simeone's men closer to the equalizer before the break. Without success, of course. In front, Atlético was witnessing a resurrection, that of an Athletic with courage and intensity that grew from the pair formed on the right by Berenguer and Capa and the good work of Sancet in the playmaker. After the break, the movie was very different. Atlético gave their football a couple more speeds and bottled up Athletic in their area, accumulating chances that were more abundant than clear during the initial quarter of an hour. A harassment and demolition - only interrupted by a counterattack from Morcillo poorly resolved by Sancet - that Simeone wanted to promote by taking out all the artillery at once: Suárez, Joao Félix and Lemar by Trippier, Saúl and Herrera. There were so many attackers on the field that it didn't even look like Atlético. Even Cholo seemed to realize the anomaly and minutes later he put Torreira through Correa. The changes didn't really change anything. Atlético continued to be installed around Simón's area, reaching those positions very easily but without the ability to set up clear shots. Until he found the exit to the labyrinth by the usual way, in a corner kick headed by Savic at the near post, taking advantage of Simón's terrible start. How could Atlético imagine that there was going to be a replica of its minimized rival and that it was going to arrive by the same channel, with an imperial header from Iñigo Martínez in a corner that leaves the League on fire and reminds Athletic that football does not it is always as cruel as it had seemed to him in this last month.

The rush that cryptocurrencies have been experiencing since last year is leaving a millionaire hangover for thousands of small investors. In recent months, the 'brokers' of dubious qualification have multiplied which, with the bait of the revaluation of digital currencies such as bitcoin, offer great returns in exchange for large investments. A high-risk business that, on some occasions, hides gigantic fraud. Justice is already following the trail of these cases. Both nationally and internationally. Thus, the Turkish Prosecutor's Office on Friday opened an investigation for "scam" of billions against a po[CENSORED]r cryptocurrency exchange, Thodex, which could have attracted some 390,000 investors. In Spain, this same week it was learned that the judge of the National Court, José Luis Calama, has accepted the inhibition of a court in Arona (Tenerife) to investigate a pyramid scheme related to investments in digital currencies through the company Arbistar 2.0 . A case that would initially have 1,127 affected - but this number could go up to 32,000, according to the bank accounts involved - and an economic loss of more than 41 million euros. But this is not the only case that has reached the Hearing. More than 300 people have filed a macro-complaint against the broker Javier Biosca for the alleged scam of more than 250 million euros through investments in digital currencies. A cause that, according to the lawyer in charge of the case, Emilia Zaballos, could reach 3,000 million euros. The lawyer explains, in statements to this newspaper, that "up to 4,000 investors, both Spanish and other places such as Latin America, have been affected by the plot of Javier Biosca", which began by offering returns close to 34% to its clients. "At first he complied with the agreement, but in the autumn his operations got out of control and he began to delay in payments and even falsify bank documents," she highlights. The investor, whose business is considered a financial bar by the CNMV, has been missing since November. Zaballos, who also chairs the Association of People Affected by Investments in Cryptocurrencies (AAIC), believes that this case perfectly reflects the fever that exists on the internet for cryptocurrencies such as bitcoin. "Well managed, it can become a profitable investment, the problem is that many scammers take advantage of the state of need in which many users have been left by the pandemic to offer products of a very high risk without the necessary knowledge." "There will be more complaints like this in the coming months," the lawyer abounds. Bitcoin has been one of the main assets during the pandemic. In the last year it has multiplied its value by seven, which has hooked certain internet users to the currency, especially a young audience that was already tempted by online sports betting. On this particular path to the top, bitcoin has also hit it hard; it has become even more volatile. So far in April it has yielded almost 20% of its value. Meanwhile, Ethereum, the other major cryptocurrency, dropped more than 10% on Friday. Different analysts also warn that the downward streak will intensify during the next sessions. The CNMV has been tracking this digital money for years. And while he acknowledges that dubious practices already existed in the past, he also admits that these have increased sharply with the arrival of the pandemic. “We have detected an increase in offers and advertising. In recent months, a good part of the warnings we have issued are related to these products ”, explain sources from the market supervisor. The Internet has become a haven for this type of fraud. The network allows you to quickly close and open web pages, and it is also not necessary for the company in charge of these matters to be located in Spain. This makes these types of scams more difficult to detect. "Before, telephone fraud proliferated, now it is through the internet," they explain from the CNMV. Restricted advertising Faced with this increase in investments in cryptocurrencies, the Government approved in March a modification of the securities market law by which it orders the CNMV to regulate the advertising of these assets. Before drafting the corresponding circular, the body led by Rodrigo Buenaventura has launched a public consultation to the sector from which it has obtained 18 responses that it is analyzing. Among the measures that are considered, they explain from the CNMV, are some such as that this advertising has the same conditions as regulated products or that they use clear language and the option of exorbitant returns remains in the background. Warnings are also contemplated, such as including a message similar to that used in the advertising of medicines, or that mass campaigns have to have prior authorization. "A regulation is necessary to protect the small investor and it would be convenient for different courts to specialize in this type of cases," highlights Zaballos, who also demands that the CNMV act ex officio in these plots.

The consumer has rediscovered bleach, a product with two centuries of existence that our grandparents already used and that is now reborn as an effective weapon against the coronavirus thanks to its ability to disinfect surfaces, food and clothing. During the months of strict confinement, when it was very difficult to find masks or gloves in stores, bleach or sodium hypochlorite became a resource that could be found on the supermarket shelves and within everyone's reach. “During the first month of the pandemic, the consumption of bleach skyrocketed in Spain, up to 145%. Consumers went looking for hydroalcoholic gels, but everything was sold out. Therefore, people wiped out bleach, which is the most basic and safest cleaning product, ”says Carlos Prieto, CEO of the Gelt application. The bleach was always available to the end consumer. In the factories they received a flood of requests from the distributors. «In March 2020, the general po[CENSORED]tion became very nervous and needed quick solutions. One of them was bleach, something that was at hand and easily accessible compared to other products ", says Mª de los Llanos Gómez Ferro, Director of Quality at Industrias La Tuna. “We bleach manufacturers were overwhelmed. We have our own brand, but we are closely linked to the distribution brand, we manufacture for large companies at the national level, which are the ones that move the large numbers. There was a time when requests soared that we had to make risky decisions so that everyone had access to the product and a series of quotas were established to be able to distribute it among all, ”says Gómez Ferro. Only during the first months of the pandemic, specifically in the months of March and April, up to 52% more liters of bleach were produced than during the same period in 2019 at the La Tuna factory located in Mejorada del Campo ( Madrid). Faced with this scenario, they had to manage to be able to service all the orders always received in order to redistribute the bleach products in the most equitable way possible so that they reached the largest number of people. "Work shifts were increased, production was restructured with the aim of optimizing it as much as possible and giving priority to the manufacture of bleaches suitable for disinfection of drinking water and bleaches with detergent for their double disinfection and cleaning action", he remarks Gomez Ferro. In almost 90% of homes In general and encompassing all bleach brands - manufacturer and white or distribution - the sales data collected confirm the boom that this disinfectant is experiencing in our country. Its demand shot up 30% in 2020 with penetration in 87.1% of households, that is, 7% more, according to the consulting firm Kantar. During an exercise marked by the coronavirus pandemic, an average of 17.1 liters were purchased for each household in our country. From the figures provided by the consultancy it is also extracted that two-thirds of the liters sold were private label. Although, the manufacturer brands were able to increase the liters sold by 51% more, an advance that allowed them to gain four share points in 2020. Henkel, one of the best known bleach manufacturer brands in Spain with products such as Estrella, Conejo or Neutrex also confirms this spectacular rise in sales. "It is a product that has always been present, but has not grown in recent years and is now experiencing a boom with the pandemic, also due to the very good relationship between quality and price it offers," says Oriol Marín, marketing director for Henkel Laundry & Home Care. “There are alternative products that do not contain bleach, but the level of disinfection is more limited; they are also more expensive and you have to add more product ”, adds Marín. Change of habits Recommendations by different health authorities, including by the World Health Organization (WHO), to use bleach as an effective surface cleaner against COVID have also played an important role in boosting sales of sodium hypochlorite. . “In most of the cleaning and disinfection protocols of the different authorities, its use was recommended, alluding to its disinfectant efficacy together with its availability -at least just before the pandemic- for the consumer. In addition, given the uncertainty of the moment, it resorted to those products that for decades have been associated with disinfection.In addition, to the fact that, due to the confinement and subsequent restrictions, we spend much more time in our homes, we must add the concern for our health, which has led consumers to clean more frequently and more thoroughly, "says Pilar Espina, general director of the Association of Detergents and Cleaning, Maintenance and Related Products Companies (Adelma). The pandemic has also brought a revolution in customs that will continue over time. "There has been a structural change in consumer habits, which is here to stay," adds Xavier Closa, Head of R&D at Henkel Laundry & Home Care. For this reason, bleach maintains sales with a rise of 10 points in the first months of 2021, according to Henkel figures. «We are more at home and it is cleaned more; The concern about eliminating viruses continues ”, points out Marín, also from Henkel. “Perhaps disinfectants, including bleach, will moderate their demand once concerns about the spread of the virus have subsided. On the other hand, it is logical to think that after these months, and with fear that in the future there will be outbreaks or new viruses, we will continue cleaning and, of course, disinfecting our house as a method that we all have at our fingertips, "he says, meanwhile, Espina, from Adelma. "People are afraid and the consumption of bleach is maintained, although they are not the increases of last year and if you compare it with March of last year you obviously see falls. In addition, other alternative products have emerged in the fight against covid, ”Prieto sentence from Gelt.

Google released the third and final developer preview version of its new mobile operating system, Android 12, introducing new features with camera enhancements for video encoding and faster machine learning performance. Before the launch of new versions of Android, Google tends to first launch several previews for app developers, so that they have time to fine-tune their 'software', and later other beta versions to test the stability of the system between the community of testers. This third preview version will be the last before the arrival of the first beta of Android 12, as confirmed by Google in a statement, after launching the first preview in February and the second, in March. In the new version of Android 12, Google incorporated new features in the camera, with improvements in video encoding to ensure the quality of high-resolution video playback. Android 12 also adds support for pixel fusion technologies, which combine four or nine pixels into one to improve image performance in low light conditions, as well as a set of extensions to house the image functions of the camera library. Android from different mobile manufacturers. The new operating system will also improve the performance of machine learning technology, speeding up its operation by reducing inference to less than half. The third preview for Android 12 developers is already available from this Wednesday on Google Pixel phones (Pixel 3, 3 XL, 3a, 3a XL, 4, 4 XL, 4a, 4a 5G or Pixel 5) so that the creators of application adapt their software to the new operating system, and the system is expected to be stable in August.

After several delays, NVIDIA will finally release its new RTX 3080 Ti graphics card in May according to various sources. A source has provided a first photograph of the new Ampere GPU. As previously reported, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti GPU is based on the GA102-225 GPU, and the variant will feature 10,240 CUDA cores paired with 12GB of GDDR6X memory. It is speculated that it will have hashing limitation to discourage Ethereum mining, but it seems that the first models that have been leaked do not have it. The first benchmark of the RTX 3080 Ti is mining Ethereum Reportedly by a leaked version of the NVIDIA RTX 3080 Ti, it appears that the graphics card is not recognized by the driver because the sample being tested is dated before NVIDIA introduced its alleged cryptocurrency mining limiter. Before this was reported to the AIBs, the GeForce RTX 3080 Ti rating samples did not have the limiter. This was revealed by the Igor’sLAB portal. It is not known which rating sample was tested by the leaker, or whether this rating is true. But it is possible that the mining performance depicted in this leak belies the inclusion of the limitation that NVIDIA promised. Based on the screenshot, this particular GeForce RTX 3080 Ti sample would deliver an ETH mining hash rate of 118.9 Mh / s after optimizations like lowering the TDP to 278W and the memory clock to 21.4 Gbps. This makes the NVIDIA RTX 3080 Ti highly desired by miners. This benchmark based on a leak also reveals clock speeds of the NVIDIA RTX 3080 Ti of 1365 MHz and increase of 1665 MHz. That makes it lower than the RTX 3080 and RTX 3090. The 12 GB GDDR6X memory appears to be set to 1188 MHz by default, confirming a speed of 19 Gbps, just like the regular RTX 3080.

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.

"Get up and walk," Ángel Correa told Atlético. And the leader, obedient, encouraged by his formidable double when doubts returned to haunt his soul, stampeded to take Eibar ahead (5-0). Correa scared away the intrigue of an afternoon that, until his irruption, seemed like a labyrinth for the rojiblancos. The aim that had turned his back on the Argentine suddenly appeared, when his team needed it most. Then came the pithing to the bottom of Llorente (2) and Carrasco. A precise dose of morale with which to launch the race for the title. And, although it may not seem like it, Atlético has never stopped being the leader. The unmistakable voice of Luis Suárez slipped through the corners of the silent Wanda Metropolitano. Correa, the one chosen to play precisely Suárez, injured, had just pulled his tusk to catch a ball and launch one against. "Hit it, hit it!", He roared him with that classic broken voice timbre from no one knows where. He was not next to his companions, like Joao Félix, but he was pushing with his lungs as if he were really wandering on the grass. It was a premonitory scream. As if letting his spirit escape from his body to take that of little Correa. The boy who, after two consecutive visits to Seville throwing his hands to his face for the occasions thrown overboard, changed the course of a nondescript afternoon that threatened something strange. It doesn't ruin, but it does intrigue. Correa is unpredictable. He has been since he landed in Madrid, six years ago. And he alone, with two claws that Luis Suárez himself could well have signed, was in charge of rewriting the script when Atlético welcomed him to refresh his ideas in the dressing room. But Ángel, as if possessed by the spirit of Suárez, put an end to the doubts. First from set pieces, like old times, with a Trippier corner kick that Herrera combed and he pushed unopposed. Just in case, Savic walked with the boot ready and almost took his partner ahead. The strategy, which seemed rusty, got the leader out of a bind. And with the rush, Correa again let his imagination fly. The final onslaught of Atlético was led by Carrasco and the Argentine forward, a meter from Dmitrovic, used a ballroom dance pass to get rid of Arbilla, with elegance, with mischief, as he used to do in his hometown, to give a good shot of adrenaline to a team in need of many things for this final sprint where they put their destiny at stake in the face of three threats that arrive emboldened after having left them without a mattress. THE EIBAR SCARE Until those two opportune and redeeming sparks from Correa, Atlético dispatched a leaden and indigestible after-dinner. It took more than half an hour to wake Dmitrovic from a nap, who did not perceive the slightest threat of danger. The bottom, with a handful of casualties and even a newcomer like Dufur, grabbed onto Mendilibar's manual to get a little more tangled in the leader's touched spirit. And Kevin Rodrigues could have done it, when the rojiblancos sailed through uncertainty, after winning Pozo his back on Lodi. However, there, in that play, the history of an Eibar whose wars are different is over. That of Granada, in a few days, without going any further. The Second Gorge lurks, after 14 games (with this one) without winning. At last, Atlético awoke on Correa's back, not waiting to settle the matter with a win. With Eibar still in shock and the rojiblancos in a rush, Carrasco, galloping, as he likes best, split the gunsmith team in two. And Marcos Llorente, that midfielder with a soul and striker numbers (he already has 11 goals), finished off the eleventh assist of the course by Correa himself, who left at game time with the feeling of having redeemed his sins. Then he would complete the little hand with a gift from Carrasco. Herrera was toned, which is close to the beginning of the course, Lodi awakened and Dembélé, the expected one, had half an hour to try to earn an extra life in Madrid. Without Lemar, again down at the last minute, neither Suárez nor Joao Félix, Simeone breathed a sigh of relief. Finally, Atlético had a calm afternoon, which is also needed from time to time. He shot seven times and scored five goals. A resounding win, the second of the season, to gain momentum. It was a regenerative session in which the leader felt like a leader again.

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.
