From now on, archived WhatsApp chats will not move with assets, just because they have received a new message, nor will they generate notifications. It is an important step to stop suffering the inconvenience of a chat in which we no longer want to participate. This novelty had already been rumored for some time, when WhatsApp first experimented with the possibility of keeping conversations archived. Until now, if we archive a chat and after a while it receives a message from one of the participating users again, the app automatically moves the chat to the main list of chats ,…
The great earthquake that was coming in the universe of digital marketing and advertising was the death of cookies. Google announced a few years ago that Chrome would start blocking them by default. The company itself has been working to create its own alternative to cookies for advertising targeting. For the other players, Google gave a margin of adaptation time. The change would not begin to apply until 2022, leaving years for adjustments. 2020 and 2021 were to be the time frame to work on the change. Those years have coincided with the coronavirus pandemic, something that weighed down on…
In the list of problems of the network, one of those that companies see as a drag is that of false comments and opinions. Fake reviews distort the market, promoting products that do not deserve it, damaging the reputation of companies or creating bubbles.

They are already a solvent organized industry, as several investigations have been showing and as confirmed by the movements that some large…
A group of researchers from the Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR), in Germany, has developed a new technique that will allow the most extreme processes that take place in the universe to be replicated on a small scale in a laboratory. For example, it will be possible to study in detail the strong areas of gravitational attraction related to black holes or the strong magnetic fields of neutron stars. Even the discovered process manages to create a jet of antimatter and is accelerated very efficiently. Two high-intensity laser beams are integrated, producing a collision so violent that it generates an extremely large…
Spanish researchers from the Instituto de Astrofísica de Andalucía (IAA-CSIC) and the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC) have made an important advance in understanding the characteristics of the Sombrero galaxy, by observing in detail a gigantic current of stars that compose it. The Sombrero galaxy (M104) is located about 30 million light years from Earth, forming part of the Local Supercluster, which includes the Virgo cluster and the so-called Local Group, in which the Milky Way is located. It is strange in itself, since it has characteristics of spiral and elliptical galaxies, becoming a kind of hybrid of both.…
