Con la salida de los últimos componentes para PC, hemos podido ver como hay una tendencia en buscar la mayor potencia posible, mejorando el rendimiento, y a su vez, aumentando la temperatura que estos pueden llegar a alcanzar. Esto es un problema en muchos casos, si no encontramos el equilibrio entre potencia y refrigeración el rendimiento de nuestro ordenador se puede ver afectado, para evitar esto, Thermaltake ha presentado su nuevo disipador para SSD. Los disipadores para unidades en estado sólido no son nada nuevo, hemos visto cómo algunas marcas incorporaban este tipo de refrigeración pasiva, pero lo que si que es una novedad es ver la apuesta que ha tomado Thermaltake, ofreciendo refrigeración activa para las unidades con factor forma M.2-2280. Que las nuevas unidades de almacenamiento llegan a tener temperaturas muy altas es un hecho, al final, tal y como hemos comentado al principio, cuanta más potencia y velocidad tenga un componente, más se sobrecalentará. En el caso de los procesadores y las gráficas hay una forma de evitar que puedan llegar a dañarse, los disipadores que incluyen, ya sean modelos con refrigeración líquida, ventiladores, o directamente pasivos, permiten que nuestro ordenador no se queme gracias a la forma en la que conducen el calor hacia las salidas de la caja que hay en nuestro PC. Para las unidades de almacenamiento hasta ahora no era realmente necesario esto, ya que por lo general con utilizar simplemente un disipador pasivo era suficiente teniendo en cuenta que aunque generaban bastante calor, no presentaban un gran problema. Ahora, podemos ver cómo esto si que puede causar grandes contratiempos, ya que con la salida de los nuevos SSD que son capaces de duplicar la velocidad de los que salieron hace dos años, la temperatura está comenzando a ser realmente preocupante, por lo que al igual que con el resto de componentes, compañías como Thermaltake han optado por centrarse en desarrollar disipadores activos. En términos de especificaciones, debemos tener en cuenta que se trata de un disipador que opta por el modelo encapsulado, es decir, que no funciona únicamente poniéndolo sobre el M.2, sino que el diseño está hecho para insertar la unidad dentro del disipador y luego, conectar todo el armatoste a la placa base. Esta solución permite mejorar la temperatura de la unidad gracias a que permite distribuir el calor de manera uniforme en toda la unidad, haciendo que este luego pase por una pieza de cobre aplanada y llegue hasta la zona donde se encuentra el disipador, el cual se refrigera gracias a un mini ventilador. Contiene un diseño de doble almohadilla térmica que permite evitar que los relieves de la unidad afecten a la forma en la que funciona el disipador, solucionando el desnivel que puede haber entre la lámina de cobre y el SSD. Por otra parte, el ventilador que incorpora llega a velocidades de hasta 8.000 RPM, con un gran flujo de aire, y genera unos 16 dBA de ruido, siendo además bastante duradero, teniendo en cuenta que la compañía indica que puede funcionar hasta 60.000 horas. La compañía no ha especificado precio de lanzamiento. https://hardzone.es/noticias/componentes/ssd-disipador-thermaltake/

Halo 2 es considerado por muchos uno de los mejores juegos del Xbox original y una de las entregas más destacadas de la franquicia. Un grupo de fans decidió revivir los servidores del título para volver a disfrutarlo en la primera consola de Microsoft. Esta iniciativa forma parte de Insignia, un proyecto hecho por jugadores que funciona como un reemplazo de Xbox LIVE y que ofrece la experiencia multijugador de hace décadas. La buena noticia es que los servicios para Halo 2 ya están disponibles para que los fans desempolven sus Xbox. Con el paso de los años, Microsoft dejó de dar soporte a los servidores para el Xbox original. Un grupo de jugadores decidió unir fuerzas para crear un reemplazo no oficial de los servicios de Xbox LIVE y habilitarlos en el mayor número de juegos posibles. Así nació Insignia, que actualmente es compatible con 170 juegos. Recientemente, sus encargados sumaron Halo 2 a la lista con una Beta pública que se celebró esta semana con éxito. La prueba se hizo con 10 listas de reproducción con partidas multijugador. Halo 2 fue uno de los títulos más jugados de la primera consola de Microsoft y le dio un impulso a toda la infraestructura online. Debido a esto, muchas personas tienen buenos recuerdos con el título y las innumerables partidas que disfrutaron hace años. Este proyecto incluso llamó la atención de exempledos de Bungie. Max Hoberman, encargado del multijugador y el online de Halo 2, se mostró admirado con los resultados de Insignia y demostró su curiosidad acerca de su potencial. “Para todos los aspirantes a viajeros en el tiempo. Está genial. Tengo curiosidad por saber cuántas funcionalidades serán capaces de replicar. Si pueden alcanzar la paridad de funciones en algunos puntos, me pregunto si podrían mejorar o añadir funciones acordes con mis especificaciones de diseño originales”, afirmó el creativo. https://www.levelup.com/noticias/779380/Fans-reviven-servidores-de-Halo-2-para-que-desempolves-tu-Xbox-original

The folded Magic V2is just 9.9 millimeters thick: It's slightly thicker than a bar phone and convenient to carry around. For reference, Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold 5, a direct V2 competitor, is 13.46 millimeters thick when it's closed. The inner display measures 7.92 inches, and crucially the crease is hard to find. You can sort of see it in this image because of the angle. https://www.cnet.com/pictures/honors-magic-v2-foldable-is-lighter-than-samsungs-galaxy-s24-ultra/10/

Russia's President Vladimir Putin has hailed the "return" of Crimea to Russia at a concert marking the 10th anniversary of the illegal annexation of the territory from Ukraine. He said Crimea had "returned to its home harbour" and that it would move forwards with Russia "hand in hand". Mr Putin was addressing thousands in Moscow's Red Square a day after claiming a landslide election win. The vote has been condemned by Western governments as a sham. UK Foreign Secretary Lord Cameron said the elections, in which serious opposition candidates were not allowed to stand, "starkly underline the depth of repression under President Putin's regime". He also stressed that holding Russian elections in occupied Ukrainian territories was an "abhorrent violation of the UN charter and Ukrainian sovereignty". Germany which called it a "pseudo-election", while the US said it was "obviously not free nor fair." Ukraine's president accused Putin of "simulating" another election. China, Saudi Arabia and India all congratulated Mr Putin: In a message to the Russian president, Chinese President Xi Jinping said that under his leadership Russia would "certainly be able to achieve greater achievements in national development and construction" Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi said he looked forward to strengthening Delhi's "time-tested special and privileged strategic partnership" with Moscow Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman praised the Russian president's "decisive" victory. The Black Sea peninsula of Crimea was annexed by Moscow in 2014 - eight years before Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine and the seizure of its Donetsk, Luhansk, Kherson and Zaporizhzhia regions. On Monday, Mr Putin said the "return" of those four Ukrainian regions to Russia had turned out to be "much more grave and tragic" than Crimea. "But in the end we did it. It is a big event in the history of our country," he said, describing the occupied territories as part of "New Russia". The crowd responded with chants of "Russia, Russia". Mr Putin also announced a new railway that will run from the Russian city of Rostov-on-Don to Crimea via occupied Ukraine - which would serve as an alternative to the current bridge which links the peninsula to Russia's mainland. "This is how together, hand in hand, we will move on. This is what - not in words, but in deeds - makes us really stronger," he said. The existing bridge, which opened in 2018, has been attacked and forced to close twice since the start of the war in Ukraine. Earlier during the rally, he said a rail line from Rostov to the occupied Ukrainian cities of Donetsk, Mariupol and Berdyansk had been restored, and would now be extended to the Crimean port city of Sevastopol. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-68601131

A former professional rugby union player, who who died in 2023 at the age of 33, has become the first in New Zealand to be formally diagnosed with chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) – the neurogenerative disease associated with repeated head trauma. Billy Guyton died of a suspected suicide last year, CNN affiliate Radio New Zealand (RNZ) reported, and his family subsequently donated his brain to Auckland’s Neurological Foundation Human Brain Bank which made the CTE diagnosis. CTE can only be formally diagnosed after death with an autopsy. It is pathologically marked by an abnormal buildup of a protein called Tau in the brain which can disable neuropathways and has been associated with a variety of clinical symptoms, including memory loss, confusion, impaired judgement, aggression, depression, anxiety, impulse control issues and sometimes suicidal behavior. The Auckland Brain Bank told CNN in a statement on Monday that its co-director Professor Maurice Curtis had been “working closely with the family of Billy Guyton to interpret the results of a post-mortem pathology undertaken of Billy’s brain.” It added that it doesn’t normally share the details of a donor’s pathology but that the family had granted permission to comment in this case. Guyton’s father, John, told RNZ that his son’s death came after years of “cries for help.” “I figured out Billy had CTE a few days after he died,” he said. “My wife and I were watching a documentary on it, and I said … that’s Billy. That’s what he had.’ “If I can work it out based on a documentary, what the hell were all those specialists Billy saw missing?” After playing for three Super Rugby franchises – the top-flight league in New Zealand and Australia – Guyton retired from rugby in 2018 aged 28, telling the Nelson Weekly that concussion symptoms had forced his hand. CNN has contacted New Zealand Rugby for comment. “The poor guy would spend hours in a small, dark cupboard because he couldn’t handle being in the light,” John Guyton told RNZ. “Some mornings he’d just sit in the bottom of his shower tray crying, trying to muster up the energy to get moving. “Can you imagine what was going on in that guy’s head?” Associate Professor Michael Buckland, founder and director of the Australian Sports Brain Bank, confirmed the CTE diagnosis, and categorized it as stage 2 of the disease on the four-step scale assessing its severity. Stage 2 of the disease is characterized by “multiple collections of Tau protein in the furrows of the cerebral cortex, which is the external layer of the brain,” the Auckland Brain Bank said, while by Stage 4 “it is widespread across several regions of the brain.” Professor Curtis added that “there are a limited number of modifiable risk factors in this case, and concussions and head knocks are certainly one of them.” Guyton’s diagnosis further spotlights the sport’s growing head injury crisis. Around the world, players are grappling to deal with the impact of head injuries sustained during their rugby careers. In the UK, some 450 current and former rugby players have now joined lawsuits to take legal action against global governing body World Rugby and the national governing bodies of England and Wales, the Rugby Football Union (RFU) and the Welsh Rugby Union (WRU), Rugby Football League Limited, International Rugby League Limited and British Amateur Rugby League Association. Lawyers for the plaintiffs say there was a failure to protect them from permanent injury caused by repeated head injuries and concussions during their careers. A new study from the University of Glasgow, Boston University and the University of Sydney which looked at the post-mortem brain exams of 31 former amateur and elite rugby union players found CTE in 68% of the brains, which had been donated for research purposes. There is a potential bias in these numbers because the brains donated were probably submitted by relatives who noticed these symptoms in their family members when they were living. https://edition.cnn.com/2024/03/18/sport/billy-guyton-new-zealand-rugby-cte-spt-intl-scli/index.html

Second marriages are becoming increasingly common, with many couples choosing to restart families together and as a result, the demand for fertility treatment among second-marriage couples is on the rise. For some, the desire to have a child together can be an important part of building a strong bond and creating a shared family unit. In an interview with HT Lifestyle, Dr Sulbha Arora, Clinical Director at Nova IVF Fertility in Mumbai, shared, “By openly discussing these issues and seeking support from professionals, couples who have remarried can increase their chances of success in starting or expanding their family through assisted reproductive technologies.” She stated the factors behind second marriages: Hindustan Times - your fastest source for breaking news! Read now. The age of marriage is now considerably later compared to the previous generations. Divorce and second marriage rates are now higher than they used to be in the past. The divorce rate in India is steadily increasing year by year. It’s estimated that the number of divorces has more than doubled over the last two decades. The rate of divorce in urban cities like Delhi, Mumbai and Bengaluru is higher. Many couples are ending their unhappy marriages rather than staying in toxic or abusive relationships. Moreover, the younger generation is more willing to prioritize personal happiness and self-fulfillment over societal expectations of marital longevity. Couples are willing to seek separation when essential needs are not being met. Getting a divorce, and starting life afresh with a new partner is commoner now than in the decades past. In the meanwhile, the age of the couple also goes up and the biological clock starts to slow down. In the previous marriage, either the wife already had children or the husband had, sometimes both had children or they never conceived in the previous marriage. Sometimes, they conceive but have miscarriages. However, now that the couple is starting a new inning of life with each other, they may wish to have children with each other and might end up facing difficulties in conceiving due to multiple factors. Due to advanced age and previous fertility problems or new fertility problems that have cropped up, the couple may be unable to conceive and have a child together in the new marriage. There is also a rise in secondary infertility. Some couples face problems conceiving a second child after the first pregnancy. Secondary infertility refers to issues of conceiving or carrying a pregnancy to full term for the second time. This type of infertility is seen among women who plan babies in their late 30s or early 40s. Factors leading to secondary infertility are low sperm production, ovulation disorders, uterine conditions, fallopian tube damage, endometriosis, unhealthy weight loss or weight gain, certain medications or chemotherapy treatment, blockages caused by fibroids, complications during previous pregnancies or surgeries, poor diet choices, and smoking. IVF can come to the rescue of such couples. Dr Sulbha Arora opined, “IVF is a boon for couples who opt for a second marriage and are unable to conceive: Second marriages often come with unique challenges, especially when it comes to starting a family. For couples who are struggling to conceive naturally, IVF can be a game-changer. It offers hope and a practical solution for those who may have thought their chances of having a child were slim. IVF provides a ray of light for second-marriage couples by offering them the opportunity to create their biological child together.” https://www.hindustantimes.com/lifestyle/health/remarriage-to-parenthood-tips-for-couples-to-overcome-challenges-with-fertility-treatment-in-second-marriages-101710858868062.html

Audi is still planning to phase out all of its ICE cars by 2033, but boss Gernot Döllner hasn’t ruled out moving that date back if electric car demand doesn’t pick up. While several car makers have scaled back or delayed plans to transition to an all-electric line-up in the wake of weakening demand for EVs, Dollner said there was “no doubt” that “the future of the vehicle is electric”. Audi will begin a major product offensive this year, with the new Q6 e-tron electric SUV the first of 20 models – with both ICE and EV powertrains – that will launch in 2024 and 2025. https://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/new-cars/audi-plots-flexible-switch-ev-based-demand

The Supreme Court has allowed Texas to arrest and jail migrants, as part of the state's new tough immigration law. Under the law, known as SB4, local and state police can arrest and prosecute those suspected of illegally crossing the Mexican border. The Biden administration has called the law unconstitutional. The decision comes a day after it was blocked by the same court while emergency appeals played out. Enforcing immigration laws - including arrests - has typically been handled by the federal government. SB4 now gives that power to Texan officials, allowing them to prosecute migrants or order them returned to Mexico. The law is among the toughest immigration measures taken by any US state in recent memory. In total, SB4 was delayed three times by Justice Samuel Alito. Then on Tuesday the Supreme Court said the law can take effect at the same time that the lower federal appeals court weighs its legality. Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton hailed the decision as a "huge win" against the Biden administration and the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), which challenged the law in court. "As always, it's my honour to defend Texas and its sovereignty, and to lead us to victory in court," he wrote in a post on X, formerly Twitter. The ACLU, for its part, vowed that it "won't back down until this extreme anti-immigrant law is struck down for good." The court's three liberal justices - Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan and Ketanji Brown Jackson - dissented. Where do Biden and Trump differ on immigration? Three reasons why US border crossings at record high "The court gives a green-light that will upend the longstanding federal-state balance of power and sow chaos," Justice Sotomayor wrote in the dissenting opinion. She also wrote that the law could "disrupt sensitive foreign relations, frustrate the protection of individuals fleeing persecution, hamper active federal enforcement efforts" and keep migrants from reporting abuse or trafficking. SB4 gives local and state police officers the ability to stop and arrest anyone suspected of having crossed the border illegally, except in schools, healthcare facilities and places of worship. Punishments would range from misdemeanours to felonies and potential imprisonment, or fines of up to $2,000 (£1,570). Penalties for those who illegally re-enter Texas after having been deported could go up to 20 years in prison, depending on a person's immigration and criminal history. The justice department has argued that SB4 infringes on the federal government's authority to secure the US border. Additionally, the Biden administration has warned that it could harm relations with Mexico, which has condemned the law as "anti-immigrant". Historically, the US government has created laws and regulations on immigration, even though the US constitution does not explicitly give it those powers, and negotiated treaties and agreements with other countries. SB4 was signed into law in December and was initially due to come into effect on 5 March. The case will now head back to a three-judge panel from the New Orleans-based US Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit, where oral arguments are scheduled for 3 April. The losing party can then again appeal the case, sending it back to the Supreme Court. The implementation of SB4 comes amid rising public concern over immigration and the US-Mexico border. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-68609930

Mobile gaming is not just fun, but big business worth billions of dollars and is in many ways the cornerstone of the metaverse. Gaming companies like Fortnite developer Epic Games have already started create virtual worlds of their own to compete with the ones developed by Facebook-owner Meta. However, that doesn’t explain what mobile gaming is or what the opportunities are. Don’t worry, though, we’ve got you covered. Mobile gaming refers to playing video games on mobile devices like smartphones and tablets. The most important aspects of this sector are the processors and displays, connectivity via telecom networks and cloud services and LiveOps. Most processors in smartphones and tablets are specially designed systems on a chip (SoCs). An SoC is a microchip that contains all the computing components required for the device on a single integrated circuit, including a graphics processing unit (GPU), a central processing unit (CPU), system memory and input/output (I/O) connectivity. The CPU determines the speed at which the device performs when a game is played, while the GPU determines the speed at which the graphics are rendered. The clarity of graphics on a mobile device depends on the display’s resolution and refresh rate . The word resolution refers to the number of distinct pixels a display accommodates. Refresh rate is the count of how many times the screen updates per second. Mobile gaming publishers rely on telecom operators to provide internet connectivity and Big Tech to distribute games via app stores. They also need cloud and edge infrastructure services providers – such as Amazon Web Services and Microsoft Azure – to deploy game content closer to users, reducing latency and improving the quality of the experience. LiveOps is a set of practices that modify a game following its launch. Game developers use LiveOps to get insights into the performance of games, understand consumer behavioral trends, and implement strategies to add users and generate revenue. LiveOps helps them focus on user acquisition, engagement, monetisation, marketing and troubleshooting. https://www.verdict.co.uk/what-is-mobile-gaming-and-why-does-it-matter/?cf-view

The day after the North American finals of the Apex Legends Global Series was postponed because of a mid-match hack against two players, Easy Anti-Cheat has issued a statement saying "there is no RCE vulnerability" in its software that was exploited to carry out the attack. The first hack, against Noyan "Genburten" Ozkose of DarkZero, took place during the third match of the day: He was suddenly able to see every other player on the map, even through walls, and was ultimately forced to drop out of the match, although his teammates managed to claim second place even though they were a man down. The second hack occurred in the next match: Phillip "ImperialHal" Dosen of TSM suddenly found himself saddled with an aimbot. That match was ultimately abandoned, and the North American finals were postponed "due to the competitive integrity of this series being compromised." Shortly afterward, the Anti-Cheat Police Department, a volunteer group that specializes in "gathering intelligence on cheats to detect and disrupt cheating vendors," issued a statement saying that an RCE (remote code execution) was being abused in the game, and that it was unclear "whether it comes from the game or the actual anti-cheat (software)."Remote code execution exploits enable attackers to run software on remote machines, and they are bad news: An RCE was responsible for the suspension of PC PvP servers for Dark Souls games in 2022. A similar vulnerability was discovered in GTA Online in 2023. In this case, as Anti-Cheat PD put it, "the RCE is being abused to inject cheats into streamers machines, which means they have the capabilities to do whatever, like installing ransomware software locking up your entire PC." How this attack happened still isn't known, but earlier today Easy Anti-Cheat issued a statement disavowing responsibility. "We have investigated recent reports of a potential RCE issue within Easy Anti-Cheat," it tweeted. "At this time—we are confident that there is no RCE vulnerability within EAC being exploited. We will continue to work closely with our partners for any follow up support needed." https://www.pcgamer.com/games/battle-royale/easy-anti-cheat-washes-its-hands-of-the-apex-legends-hacking-disaster-that-saw-streamer-accounts-hijacked-live-there-is-no-rce-vulnerability-within-eac/

This week, ASML delivered its 3rd Generation extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography tool, the Twinscan NXE:3800E, with a projection lens featuring a 0.33 numerical aperture. The system significantly increases performance compared to the existing Twinscan NXE:3600D machine. It is designed for fabricating chips at leading-edge technologies, including 3nm, 2nm, and small nodes in the next few years. The ASML Twinscan NXE:3800E represents a leap forward in Low-NA EUV lithography regarding performance (the number of wafers processed per hour) and matched machined overlay. The new system can process over 195 wafers per hour at a 30 mJ/cm^2 dose and promises a further increase in performance to 220 wph with a throughput upgrade. In addition, the new tool offers a less than 1.1 nm-matched machine overlay (wafer alignment accuracy). "Chipmakers have a need for speed," ASML revealed in a statement published on X. "The first Twinscan NXE:3800E is now being installed in a chip fab. With its new wafer stages, the system will deliver leading edge productivity for printing advanced chips. We are pushing lithography to new limits." Increased throughput will increase the economic efficiency of the Twinscan NXE:3800E machine when producing chips on 4nm/5nm and 3nm-class process technologies for logic makers. The improved performance of ASML's Twinscan NXE:3800E is expected to significantly mitigate one of the primary drawbacks of EUV technology, which is its relatively low performance, thereby enabling more efficient and cost-effective chip production. This will make process technologies that rely on EUV more accessible to chip designers with budgets that are not as vast as those of Apple, AMD, Intel, Nvidia, and Qualcomm. Also, the tool will be crucial for memory makers such as Micron, Samsung, and SK Hynix. In addition, the Twinscan NXE:3800E's enhanced performance will be particularly useful for making chips on 2nm and subsequent classes of fabrication technologies that will need EUV double patterning. Improvements in the matched machine overlay will benefit sub-3nm-class production nodes. However, the sophistication and capabilities of machines like the NXE:3800E come at a substantial cost, with a price tag of around $180 million each. Such high costs mean it takes some time to depreciate the costs of these lithography tools. However, for ASML's clientele, which comprises a select group of significant logic and memory fabrication companies, the NXE:3800E offers a path to bolster their production capabilities of cutting-edge chips. This is crucial for these companies as they strive to meet the growing global demand for semiconductors, expand their production capacities, and manage the economics of chip manufacturing. Introducing more advanced and efficient EUV scanners like the NXE:3800E is critical to achieving these objectives. Looking ahead, ASML is not resting on its laurels, with plans for further innovation in the form of the Twinscan NXE:4000F, another generation of Low-NA EUV scanner, slated for release around 2026. This ongoing development underscores ASML's commitment to advancing Low-NA EUV manufacturing technology despite the looming adoption of High-NA litho tools. https://www.tomshardware.com/tech-industry/manufacturing/asml-delivers-3rd-generation-euv-chipmaking-tool-for-2nm-and-beyond
