Aquí vengo a recomendarte una aplicación como casi todos los lunes, pero en esta ocasión se trata de un juego. Uno centrado en el planeta Marte, con una mecánica muy sencilla, que no requiere pensar, pero que entretiene y ayuda a pasar el rato.

Luis Zahera es un actor del carajo y a mí me encanta haga lo que haga. En esta ocasión se ha metido en el papel de un veterinario del rural gallego que siempre está serio y que guarda mucho dentro. Una comedia ligera y familiar que nos ha sacado una sonrisa en casa.

Como cada año, te dejo por aquí este colorido calendario de pared que me gusta tener en la cocina. Su formato de meses en las filas y los días con casillas verticales me permite poner la información diaria y hacer la planificación de la familia fácilmente. Mi particular regalo de Navidad.

Ni siquiera usando HomeKit, ni siquiera usando productos de Apple, estás a salvo de los sustos que la domótica te da en ocasiones. Te lo cuento en este capítulo 2888.¿Quieres más de Emilcar Daily?

Resulta que si tienes un teléfono móvil que no es compatible con tarjetas eSIM, puedes añadirle esa capacidad con una tarjeta SIM física especial. Eso es lo que propone justamente la gente de EIOTCLUB con su producto, que permite añadir hasta 9 tarjetas virtuales a la vez.

Lo más importante a la hora de montar un NAS por piezas es que estas sean las adecuadas según el uso que le quieras dar. Aquí te cuento desde la caja que he elegido, hasta los ventiladores, pasando por el procesador, la placa base y la memoria RAM… ¡ay, la RAM!

Te explico mi malestar con Netatmo por la decisión que han tomado al respecto de una de sus apps más utilizadas. La interfaz de Home + Control es mucho menos intuitiva que la de Energy y forzar el cambio empeora mucho la experiencia de usuario.

Cuando tenemos un NAS, un mini PC o una Raspberry Pi en los que ya tenemos levantados un montón de servicios, es normal que a veces algunos puertos se solapen y las cosas no funcionen bien. Para evitar esto, te traigo hoy una herramienta que nos permite llevar la cuenta de los puertos libres de los que disponemos.

El otro día me encontré de casualidad con que mis nuevos AirPods no tienen botón para enlazarlos con dispositivos Bluetooth o para resetearlos a fábrica. ¿Cómo se realizan estas funciones entonces? Te lo cuento en este episodio.
