Lots of star clusters adorn the evening skies of summer. That’s because the glowing path of the Milky Way climbs high into the sky. It’s the combined glow of millions of stars that outline the disk of the Milky Way Galaxy. So not only does it contain lots of individual stars, it hosts many star clusters as well. But a few clusters are far from the path of the Milky Way. One example is Messier 5. It’s in Serpens Caput – the head of the serpent – a region with not much around it. M5 is a globular cluster – a big ball packed with several hundred thousand stars. Such clusters are scattered all across the sky. Some appear in the disk, but they’re not part of the disk – they loop high above and below it. Globular clusters are the oldest members of the galaxy. And M5 is one of the oldest – 12 billion years or older. That means its original stars were born when the universe was only about one-tenth of its present age. Any stars that were more massive than the Sun have burned out. So the remaining original stars are smaller and fainter than the Sun. There’s evidence that a second wave of starbirth rippled through M5 well after the cluster was formed. Some of these stars can still rival the Sun – the “youngsters” of an ancient star cluster. Messier 5 is high in the south at nightfall. Through binoculars, it looks like a fuzzy star. A small telescope reveals some of the cluster’s individual stars. Script by Damond Benningfield

Esto es un extracto de la transmisión de las 24 horas de Le Mans 2025 en AutoFM. Noveno año consecutivo transmitiendo en directo la carrera de las carreras. Salida de las 24H LeMans 2025 1 de 8 La retransmisión de Auto FM de las 24 Horas de Le Mans 2025 arrancó con Antonio, José Lagunar y Fabio de Baloncesto Prisma como anfitriones, marcando la novena edición consecutiva en la que el programa cubre este icónico evento. Todos coincidieron en que Le Mans es "mágica, especial, única e histórica", un verdadero "gran maratón" y "la carrera de las carreras" que trasciende el mero gusto por los coches. Parrilla de Salida y Preparativos Pre-Carrera Fabio detalla la parrilla de salida para las tres categorías que compiten simultáneamente en Le Mans: Hypercar, LMP2 (Le Mans Prototype 2) y LMGT3 (vehículos más similares a los de calle). • Hypercar: Los Cadillac #12 y #38 se hicieron con las dos primeras posiciones. Les siguieron el Porsche #5, BMW #15, Porsche #4 y BMW #20. El Ferrari F Corse #50, con el español Miguel Molina, partiría desde la séptima posición, aunque Molina no sería el piloto inicial. El otro español en Hypercar, Riveras, con el Aston Martin #009, saldría desde la decimoquinta posición. •LMP2: El TDS Racing #29 se llevó la pole en su categoría (22º en la general), seguido por el Inter #43 y el AO by TF #199. El Algarve Pro Racing #25, con el español Fluxa, comenzaría en la 11ª posición de LMP2 (33ª en la general). •LMGT3: El Her of Racing team #27 partía en la pole. El TF Sport #33, con Juncadella (el único español que iniciaría la carrera en pista), saldría desde la posición 60, aunque logró subir rápidamente a la 56. El Iron Links #60 de Rueda saldría último, en la posición 61. El ambiente pre-carrera fue descrito como "mágico" y "espectacular", con la tradicional presencia de los militares franceses y la bandera oficial. Roger Federer fue el encargado de bajar la bandera para dar inicio a la carrera, una tradición en la que una celebridad internacional inaugura el evento. Se destacó la estética y el protocolo que envuelven Le Mans, un evento que lleva días de actividades previas en el circuito. También se menciona la diferencia en la tensión de los pilotos de resistencia, que aprecian más el trabajo en equipo a diferencia de la Fórmula 1, donde el compañero es el primer rival. Se recordó cómo eran las salidas históricas de Le Mans, con los coches estacionados en batería, algo que ya no se hace por seguridad pero que forma parte de la historia. Las primeras horas de carrera se caracterizaron por un ritmo "endiablado" y una fiabilidad sorprendente de los vehículos. La competencia entre las tres categorías exigía una gestión del tráfico compleja, con adelantamientos brutales que requerían buscar cualquier espacio para no perder tiempo detrás de un doblado y hacerlo con la máxima seguridad. No se esperaba lluvia para el domingo, lo que podría haber afectado las estrategias de neumáticos, aunque la temperatura y la humedad en el ambiente eran más frescas de lo esperado. Hitos Históricos y Polémicas Se repasaron los múltiples hitos que varias marcas buscaban alcanzar en esta edición: • Porsche: La vigésima victoria. • Ferrari: Un tercer triplete consecutivo. • Toyota: Su 40 aniversario en Le Mans. • Cadillac: Romper la sequía americana desde 1967. • Peugeot: Emular las victorias del 905 y 908. • Alpine: Su 70 aniversario. • Aston Martin: El debut de su Valkyrie. • BMW: La primera victoria desde 1999. También se habló de la posibilidad de que algunos pilotos como Dandy Naser y Van Thor lograran la Triple Corona de la Resistencia. La polémica del "Balance of Performance" (BoP) fue un tema recurrente, con la sugerencia de que Porsche podría estar haciendo "sandbagging" (ocultando su verdadero rendimiento). Álvaro Fontes explicó que, aunque el BoP es necesario para igualar las condiciones entre diferentes marcas, a menudo hay una lucha política para que cada equipo se beneficie, lo que puede "desvirtuar la competición". El ejemplo de Peugeot, con su diseño "mal parido", fue citado como una marca que ha sufrido bajo este sistema. Momentos Clave de las Primeras Horas de Carrera • Porsche en Cabeza: Inicialmente, el Porsche #5 lideró la carrera, abriendo una ventaja de 6 segundos sobre el Cadillac #12. • Sonido de los Coches: El Aston Martin V12 fue elogiado por su "sonido más agudo" al meter marchas y pasar el puente de Drumon. • Visibilidad: Los mosquitos en el parabrisas y las virutas de neumáticos fueron un problema temprano, afectando la visibilidad de los pilotos. Incidentes y Sanciones: ◦ Un Ferrari tuvo una salida de pista sin mayores consecuencias. ◦ Un piloto bronce, un millonario de 53 años con experiencia en Daytona, cometió un error temprano, demostrando que incluso pilotos experimentados pueden fallar. ◦ El Peugeot #93 sufrió un percance al salirse en una curva, tocando lateralmente y perdiendo el alerón trasero; sin embargo, fue reparado rápidamente en boxes. ◦ El Ferrari #33 (Juncadella) sufrió un trompo tras un toque con el Corvette #33, recibiendo una sanción de 10 segundos en su próxima parada. ◦ El Toyota #7 tuvo un daño en el lateral y una larga parada en boxes para verificación, lo que lo hizo caer significativamente en la clasificación. El Toyota #8 también experimentó retrasos. ◦ El Alpine #36 recibió un "Stop and Go" de 20 segundos por exceder la velocidad en el pit lane, una "manera tonta de fastidiarse la carrera". ◦ Un Ford Mustang #88 (LMGT3) de Proton Competition sufrió un trompo y dañó gravemente su parte trasera, lo que provocó una bandera amarilla en buena parte del circuito. ◦ Un McLaren #59 (GT3) se detuvo en una de las rectas, causando otra bandera amarilla. • Dominio de Ferrari: Después de las primeras paradas y cambios de pilotos, el Ferrari F Corse #50, ahora pilotado por Antonio Fuoco, tomó el liderazgo y comenzó a distanciarse de sus competidores. Se destacó la impresionante velocidad máxima del Ferrari, alcanzando los 360 km/h, muy superior a otros vehículos. El Ferrari #83 (AF Corse, con Robert Kubica al volante) y el Ferrari #51 también se posicionaron en los primeros puestos, demostrando un "paseo militar" y una "mano dura" de Ferrari desde el inicio. • Remontada de Porsche: El Porsche #6, con Kevin Estre, que había partido último, protagonizó una rápida remontada hasta la tercera posición, lo que fue una "sorpresa" para muchos. A pesar de los problemas de Porsche en simulaciones el año anterior, este año parecían haber encontrado el ritmo. • BMW como "Tapado": El equipo BMW, aunque no estaba en la punta, mantuvo un ritmo constante y paciente, escalando posiciones hasta la quinta y octava. Se destacó que BMW es un LMDh (Le Mans Daytona Hybrid), lo que les permite competir en IMSA y WEC, un proyecto que ha demostrado solidez. • Paso de Miguel Molina: Miguel Molina, el piloto español, se montó en el Ferrari #50, mostrando un ritmo agresivo y efectivo, aunque con neumáticos fríos. Se esperaba que su "stint" durara alrededor de 2 horas y cuarto. Historias y Experiencias desde Le Mans La retransmisión se enriqueció con las voces de diversos colaboradores que compartieron sus experiencias y conocimientos: • Borja Hormigos (PR de BMW España): Destacó la importancia histórica de BMW en Le Mans (ganaron en 1999) y la tecnología de sus vehículos, compartida con modelos de calle como el BMW XM y M5. También, desde su perspectiva como piloto aficionado, elogió la emoción de la carrera y la presencia de "los mejores pilotos del mundo". • Álvaro Fontes (Piloto): Comparó las 24 Horas de Nürburgring con Le Mans, señalando las diferencias de presupuesto y la naturaleza "salvaje" de Nürburgring. Enfatizó la importancia de la experiencia para manejar el tráfico y la concentración para evitar errores en resistencia. Mencionó que, a diferencia del pasado, las carreras de 24 horas ahora se corren "a fondo" de principio a fin, ya que los coches son más fiables. • Fernando Rivas desde Le Mans: Compartió la experiencia de la "Green Wall" (acceso al pit lane) y el "Driver Parade", describiéndolos como momentos "increíbles" y "muy interesantes". Destacó el "silencio" en los boxes de Alpine, una "orquesta bien sincronizada" de mecánicos. • Javier López (Diario Motor): Compartió su experiencia de haber llegado a Le Mans conduciendo un Ford Mustang Dark Horse desde Niza por carreteras secundarias, calificándolo como una "experiencia espectacular" y "muy gratificante". • José Ángel López Tens (Director de Comunicación de Peugeot): Presentó el nuevo Peugeot E-208 GTI, un coche eléctrico de 280 CV fabricado en España (Zaragoza), que recupera la esencia deportiva del emblemático 205 GTI. Mencionó que la marca reunió a más de 80 propietarios del 205 GTI en Le Mans para celebrar la herencia deportiva. • Óscar (8000 Vueltas): Compartió su primera experiencia en Le Mans, destacando el "ambientazo", el "grid walk" y el museo, una "visita obligada" con coches reales y maquetas. Mencionó las fiestas y conciertos alrededor del circuito, que lo convierten en un verdadero festival. • Víctor Pichone (ex-PR de Ford España): Contó sus ocho visitas a Le Mans, remarcando la "magia" de la noche y el amanecer en el circuito. Recordó el regreso de Ford con los GTs en el 50 aniversario y la experiencia de dar una vuelta al circuito en un Mustang. Habló de la exclusividad del Ford GT (último modelo), diseñado en secreto y considerado el coche de producción más cercano a uno de competición. • Héctor Sagués (Piloto y Técnico): Ofreció una perspectiva técnica, señalando que la noche en Le Mans "cambia radicalmente" el circuito, volviendo la conducción "más complicada" debido a la reducción del campo de visión y la humedad. Compartió la dificultad de conducir con calor extremo (50°C dentro del coche), donde incluso el aire acondicionado debe apagarse para no sobrecalentar el motor. También abordó la importancia de la hidratación y los electrolitos para evitar calambres, especialmente en la pierna izquierda, que soporta grandes esfuerzos al frenar. • Mario González: Valoró el "paseo militar" de Ferrari y la competencia en otras categorías, destacando cómo Valentino Rossi está atrayendo a nuevos aficionados. Aspectos Técnicos y Estratégicos • BoP y Rendimiento: Se debatió cómo el BoP afecta el rendimiento de los equipos, especialmente en el caso de Ferrari, que a pesar de las regulaciones, continuaba mostrando una superioridad "arrasadora". • Neumáticos: Los coches Hypercar usan neumáticos Michelin (blandos, medios, duros), mientras que LMP2 y LMGT3 usan GoodYear. Las variaciones de temperatura y humedad condicionan la elección de neumáticos y el setup del coche. Se vio al Toyota #7 experimentar con compuestos mixtos (diferentes en las ruedas delanteras). • Hibridación y Costos: La hibridación en los Hypercar es un banco de pruebas para la tecnología de calle, permitiendo motores de combustión junto a eléctricos, pero su alto costo limita su implementación en categorías inferiores. • Composición de Equipos: Se explicó la clasificación de pilotos (bronce, plata, oro) y cómo afecta la estrategia de los equipos, especialmente para los pilotos bronce, que suelen estar más estresados y cometen más errores. Los equipos suelen hacer que los pilotos bronce cumplan sus seis horas mínimas de conducción al principio de la carrera. • Dorsales Luminosos: La implementación de dorsales luminosos en los coches (especialmente en GT3) fue elogiada por su capacidad de ofrecer información en tiempo real (posición, carga eléctrica, tiempo de parada), lo que facilita el seguimiento de la carrera para los espectadores. La Experiencia de Le Mans: Más Allá de la Pista La retransmisión subraya que Le Mans es mucho más que una carrera de coches. Es una experiencia completa para los aficionados, que acampan en el circuito días antes, disfrutan del ambiente de festival con música y actuaciones. Se mencionó la "cabalgata de reyes" del Driver Parade, donde los pilotos desfilan en coches clásicos y lanzan regalos a los fans. El museo de Le Mans fue catalogado como una "visita obligada" para los amantes del motor, con coches reales e históricas maquetas. El cansancio de los pilotos, la preparación física y mental, y la gestión del sueño fueron temas recurrentes. Se comparó la rutina de los pilotos con la de los "ultra trail runners" que entrenan para dormir pocas horas y rendir al máximo. La noche, aunque mágica para los espectadores, es un desafío "brutal" para los pilotos, donde la vista se reduce, las distancias parecen distintas y el "flasazo" de las luces largas es constante. Se destacó que, en los boxes, el momento de parada es "relax absoluto" para el piloto y "adrenalina" para el mecánico.

We can thank TECHNOLOGY for bringing us the Unnamed Automotive Podcast this week, but we can also BLAME it for making Sami's life difficult during his week-long test of the 2025 Volvo EX90 EV. With a huge battery, over 500-hp and plenty of driving range, the EX90 should be a slam dunk in the world of three-row EVs, but Sami shares the many frustrations he experienced while driving this vehicle. Most issues revolve around the infotainment system and a minimalist approach to controls, which makes usually easy tasks quite distracting. Then Benjamin shares his thoughts on the all-new, and finally available in the US, 2025 BMW M5 Touring (Wagon.) The big, plug-in hybrid, high-performance wagon shows it can be a bit of everything in one tidy package. Is that special enough? Why is Sami so over it already? The guys talk about their thoughts on this amazing BMW and figure out 'why now?" And finally, the hosts tackle some listener questions and comments about the Hyundai Santa Cruz, and the scary future of used car software. Thanks for listening!

Empezamos la velada Manzanera con noticias de la sección FlyPhone , porque no contentos con tener información sobre el futuro chip M5, ya se están rumoreando otros futuros proyectos. Ya se habla de M6 y de M7  e incluso de una nueva línea de procesadores para servidores.Según una hoja de Ruta filtrada, Apple estaría pensando dar un golpe de timón y cambiar el orden de salida de sus iPhone. Para 2026, la línea Pro se presentaría en Septiembre y la línea base, se retrasaría hasta primavera de 2027 donde acompañaría al 18e.Más de una vez hemos comentado que Apple no es la primera en llegar, que llega más tarde y que lo hace mejor. Pero últimamente, no llega tarde, llega muy muy tarde. De todos es conocido su retraso con la nueva Siri y ahora, en su hoja de ruta, parece confirmarse que las próximas smart glass al estilo Rayban Meta, no vendrán hasta el 2027Analizaremos los últimos números conocidos sobre ingresos y beneficios de la App Store y como era de esperar, son espectaculares. De hecho han duplicado los ingresos con respecto a 2020. Un crecimiento que probablemente se frenará si su juicio con Epic y sus repercusiones, finalmente le afectan.Para terminar, queremos debatir sobre las últimas palabras de Eddy Cue, que está muy hablador y si hace poco comentó que los buscadores habituales estaban en retroceso en favor de las IA, ahora ha sentenciado al iPhone y similares. Opina que en 10 años, otras formas de interactúenar con las IA llegaran a sustituir al dispositivo físico que conocemos.Un nuevo podcast de nuestro compromiso 7 de 7, esperamos que lo disfrutes.

First the show starts off with a review of the 2025 Aston Martin DBX 707, a ultra-high-performance exotic from one of the top British automakers. Faced with all kinds of inclement weather during his testing, Benjamin has a thorough take on this hyper SUV, and comes to a decisive conclusion about it, especially in comparison to some other high-hp SUVs out there. Then Sami offers several impressions of the 2025 Acura MDX A-Spec, which gets a mild exterior refresh and some important interior changes too. While the vehicle feels responsive with a well-tuned powertrain and ride, Sami says it fails to make an impact in a very competitive segment. The guys also jump through a few thoughts about in-car audio systems, and if 31 speakers is too many or just enough. Thanks for listening!

Daring Fireball's John Gruber joins us on this week's episode of The MacRumors Show to discuss Apple Intelligence and the future of the company. We talk through the reaction to John's influential “Something Is Rotten in the State of Cupertino" piece on Daring Fireball, which pointed out that Apple's credibility has been "damaged" by the delay in releasing key ‌Apple Intelligence‌ features such as personalized Siri. Subsequent reportsrevealed that Vision Pro chief Mike Rockwell has taken over the Siri team at Apple, which until recently was led by artificial intelligence chief John Giannandrea. Software chief Craig Federighi is also believed to have taken on more responsibility to turn ‌Apple Intelligence‌ around. The company has altered its marketing strategy away from the "Hello, ‌Apple Intelligence‌" tagline and the features are finally expected to launch sometime within the next year. With this recent context, we get John's thoughts on how the situation has evolved since he wrote his article, including on the proposed class-action lawsuits against Apple over false advertising. We also look at how Apple may present its suite of AI features at WWDC later this year. Moreover, we reflect on the Vision Pro almost two years after its announcement, and John explains why he believes that the headset avoided the mismanagement that has mired apple Intelligence. We also talk through rumors about the second-generation Vision Pro headset that is expected to launch between fall 2025 and spring 2026 as a minor spec bump, simply upgrading from the M2 to the M5 chip. We also explore the highly anticipated lower-cost Vision headset, dubbed “Vision Air," and how this could be positioned when it launches. We look at the state of Apple's smart home proposition and the HomePod amid rumors that the company's first smart home hub product has been delayed to 2026. The device is believed to be finished and was originally scheduled to launch in March 2025, but due to its reliance on ‌Apple Intelligence‌ its release has reportedly been shelved until next year. Finally, we discuss the long-rumored foldable iPhone, pondering on what Apple is likely to do differently when it launches the device next year.

What's the downside? Try the weird user interface and get back to us; or don't and listen to Benjamins gripes of the infotainment system, and his overall take on this Mini EV. Then Sami tries his hardest to not talk about the 2025 Honda HR-V, by first discussing the history of the Fit subcompact, and the era of Honda when it wasn't afraid of doing things it's own way. The new HR-V is lacking any personality, while being worse than many of its rivals in key specs like fuel economy and pricing. Sami asks what's the point?

En un video del área de miembros hice cuentas: En mi vida he probado más de 4.000 coches… No sé si me acuerdo de todos, pero desde luego de la mayoría sí… y sobre todo de algunos de ellos que, por diversos motivos, me han dado miedo, verdaderamente, me han asustado… de estos 10 os voy a hablar hoy. Son coches que me han dado miedo en unos casos a priori, incluso antes de conducirlos, y en otros casos es que directamente, me dieron un buen susto. En general la combinación de propulsión trasera, la absoluta falta de ayudas electrónica, muchos caballos y en ocasiones situaciones especiales, me colaborado a que estos coches me dieran miedo, me dieran algún susto… o ambas cosas a la vez. En este video, como os digo muy pero que muy personal, os diré el coche, alguna característica técnica que interesa conocer y luego irá la anécdota o la historia, como queráis llamarla… Maserati Biturbo (1981). En 1984 probé el Biturbo en versión de 2,5 litros y 200 CV, un motor V6 original de 3 válvulas por cilindro y dos turbos, con una respuesta típica de los turbos de la época, pese a que fuesen dos y no uno solo. El susto mayor con este coche me lo lleve como pasajero… Porsche 911 SC (1981). La segunda generación del 911 arranca en 1973 pero mi primer contacto con el 911, un coche al que admiraba profundamente, fue con un 911 SC aparecido en 1981 y que probé pocos años más tarde… y no nos entendimos. Con las referencias de hoy día, un coche con motor de 3 litros y 180 CV puede saber a poco… pero con ese chasis de suspensión con barras de torsión, escaso peso de apenas 1.200 kg, casi un 60 por ciento detrás y una batalla de apenas 2,2 metros, menor que la de mucho polivalentes… no era un coche fácil. Bentley Mulsanne Turbo (1982). Era todavía muy novato cuando me invitaron nada menos que a las 24 Horas de Le Mans y nada menos que a probar este modelo… un coche con motor V8 de casi 7 litros, con turbo, 350 CV con un par brutal y un peso de 2,3 toneladas… y de precio, ni hablamos. En euros de hoy, como si fuesen 300.000 €. Más que la potencia me asustaba el peso y más que el peso, el precio. BMW M5 (1984). Más o menos en 1985 llegó a la redacción el M5, con más o menos el mismo bastidor, pero con el motor del M1 de 3,5 litros y 286 CV para un peso 1.500 kg. Fuimos a hacer una sesión de fotos a una carretera con asfalto de mala calidad y muy arrugado y como sabéis, queríamos las fotos más espectaculares… no fue fácil… Cadillac Allanté (1987). Un coche que se comenzaba a fabricar en los USA y se terminaba de construir en Italia… con tracción delantera y un motor, en su versión tope, de 8 cilindros en V, 4,6 litros y casi 300 CV. Supuestamente era un coche muy progresivo, pero Cadillac no era un especialista en conches de tracción delantera y cuando “atacabas” sentías que el coche iba “de puntillas” … no inspiraba confianza… Opel Kadett GSi 16V (1987). Os hablo de la versión sin catalizar de 160 CV “de verdad” comprobados en banco, un peso de apenas 1000 kg y una suspensión rígida… sobre todo atrás. Lo probe a fondo por las carreteras viradas de la zona y comprobé como la parte trasera, en apoyos fuertes, tenía “vida propia”. Pero lo peor fue en la autopista de peaje, cuando quise comprobar la velocidad máxima, casi 220 km/h y pasé unas “juntas de dilatación”. Ford Escort RS Turbo (1989). Os extraigo un párrafo de una prueba de la época, que no escribí yo: “el Escort nunca ha sido un modelo unánimemente alabado por su comportamiento en la carretera y cuando se le quiere sacar todo su jugo las cosas cambian… a nuestro juicio, para llevar un RS medianamente rápido, es preciso tener cierta experiencia al volante”. Asia Rocsta (1990). No solo me he llevado sustos de coches potentes y deportivos. Si no me equivoco esta mala copia del Jeep llegó a España en 1993 y a un precio muy competitivo. Probé la versión Diesel de 2.2 litros, realmente económica, que supuestamente daba 61 CV para un peso de más de 1.300 kg, un cambio lento, lentísimo, y una aerodinámica “dudosa”. Pero el coche, además de no correr, contaba con una dirección lenta y dura y unas suspensiones no muy bien resueltas… Alpine A610 V6 Turbo (1991). Hablamos de un modelo que había reforzado su bastidor, con motor trasero V6 turbo, bastante turbo, de 3 litros y 250 CV para un peso de menos de 1.500 kg. Pero de esos 1.500 kg el 57 por ciento iba detrás y solo el 43, es decir, menos de 650 kg, iban delante… Dodge Viper (1991). Grande, pesado y muy potente, este no era un coche fácil… pero menos “traicionero” de lo que podías esperar. El motor V10 de 8 litros y 394 CV ayudaba, porque era muy potente, con mucho par en baja, pero muy progresivo. Lo peor era su tamaño, su visibilidad, su reducido espacio en el habitáculo y su peso, alrededor de 1,7 toneladas, que hoy día no espanta a nadie, pero que en esos años era mucho.

En este episodio, desglosamos los temas más importantes que están marcando el pulso de los mercados: • Aranceles globales sacuden a Wall Street: Los futuros caen con fuerza luego de que Trump confirmara que los aranceles del 2 de abril aplicarán a todos los países. Se esperan represalias y posibles “aranceles secundarios” a productos de naciones que comercian con Rusia. La atención también está en el discurso de Powell y el informe de empleo del viernes. • Apple entra al sector salud con IA: $AAPL prepara el lanzamiento de “Health+”, un servicio médico con monitoreo de glucosa y presión, más un coach de salud basado en IA. Además, trabaja en un iPad Pro con chip M5 y módem propio para 2027. El enfoque busca revolucionar la salud preventiva desde el ecosistema Apple. • BOC Aviation compra 120 aviones: La firma con sede en Singapur adquirirá 70 A320NEO ($EADSY) y 50 737-8 ($BA), con entregas hasta 2032. Busca ampliar su flota a 1,000 unidades y reafirma la demanda por aviones de fuselaje estrecho pese a desafíos logísticos globales. • Hedge funds huyen de tech: Según Goldman Sachs, fondos redujeron exposición a acciones tecnológicas a niveles no vistos en cinco años. La venta se concentró en semiconductores, software y hardware de EE.UU., presionando a gigantes como $NVDA y $MSFT.

Then Benjamin continues his fancy-pants parade of luxury cars as he reviews the 2025 Genesis G80. Refreshed for this year with a new look inside and out, Benjamin wonders if the Korean luxury brand still has the 'it' factor that made it so appealing when it first debuted.

The Unnamed Automotive Podcast gets some second opinions this week. Today's show starts with Sami's review of the 2025 Toyota Crown, a car than Benjamin drove a few years ago. However, Sami's experience with the Crown has been changed by recent tests of the Camry and Accord, both of which were spacious, well equipped, efficient and responsive. Does the more expensive Crown have anything to offer that they don't? Then Benjamin finally gets his chance to drive the 2025 Honda Pilot TrailSport. A three-row crossover with some off-roading capabilities, the Pilot feels like it should be more interesting to drive and live with than other three-rows like the Highlander, Telluride and Palisade, but Benjamin points out that there are a few things that stop it from being a standout. Finally, the show closes up on checkup on Fisker, and an interesting law that means that Chase is sending Fisker Ocean buyers to Rivian dealerships. Thanks for listening!

Our hosts also ask, what are the alternatives these days and how do they stack up? Then Benjamin gives us a review of the 2025 Genesis GV80. Available in two or three row configurations (thanks for the brief confustion Sami) and in either a conventional body style or coupe-like profile, the GV80 has become a fully realized nameplate in the Korean automakers portfolio.

Discovery say Venu Sports won't launch DirecTV Launches ‘MySports' Streaming Package Other: Samsung Display CES 2025 showcase: All the cool tech we saw - SamMobile Star Wars Kid Star Wars kid Drunken Jedi Best of CES On this week's show we rundown the “Best of CES” as reported by the tech sites. Engadget LG OLED evo M5 - the company managed to further improve its most premium displays, adding the latest α (Alpha) 11 AI processor Gen2 to improve the look of lower-resolution content and power advanced features. Technics EAH-AZ100 earbuds ($300) - Technics' new Magnetic Fluid drivers have garnered a lot of headlines this week, but all you really need to know about the EAH-AZ100 earbuds is that the sound quality is massively improved. Powered by those new components, there's more clarity, detail and bass, all of which are upgrades from the already impressive AZ80 CNET LG G5 OLED TV - After seeing the picture quality, TV expert David Katzmaier singled this out as one of his favorite TVs of the show; he traditionally finds LG's OLED quality best-in-class (as do I for its monitors), and this year's is brighter with better contrast in ambient light. Xgimi Ascend - It's not the LG OLED rollable screen of your dreams, but the Ascend may be more within your grasp. It's a retractable, ambient light-rejecting screen with built-in speakers and an ultra short-throw projector that looks like a piece of furniture when the screen withdraws. TV tech guru Geoffrey Morrison has been an ultrashort throw skeptic, but thinks this pair may solve some of the issues he's had with them. There's no pricing yet for the screen (the projector is $2,700), but it's  bound to be less than models like the LG.  The Verge Awards at CES (Full List) Best TV Panasonic Z95B OLED - At CES 2025, it's the Panasonic Z95B OLED that I keep circling back to as my favorite. After a long hiatus from the US TV market, Panasonic is coming back for its crown. Like the G5, it features a new four-layer tandem OLED display that boosts brightness to new highs — this time without the micro-lens array technology that LG Display spent the last two years hyping. It also includes an impressive Dolby Atmos speaker array (tuned by Technics) that will rule out any need for a soundbar for many buyers. That audio hardware results in this being a thick TV by today's standards: Panasonic obviously favored nailing the picture and sound aspects over a thin design. And you know what? I'm here for it. Most no one asked for this, AI in TVs - AI is worming its way into everything, and at CES this year, it crawled into TVs and remotes. Naturally, that includes new sets from LG and Samsung, which are deploying AI to futz with your picture and sound settings and let you talk to a chatbot or analyze what's on your screen. Over at Hisense's “AI Your Life” booth, the company touted its AI Engine X that “optimizes every frame” with adjustments to color, brightness, and audio. Best smart home device Switchbot K20 Plus Pro - Switchbot's K20 Plus Pro is a robot vacuum that can have different devices strapped to its head using the company's modular “FusionPlatform.” As well as being able to deliver items around your home, it can have various SwitchBot products attached to it to perform tasks autonomously: purify your air, be a mobile home security camera, and carry your tablet around for you. They've even made an attachment to put a mini fridge on top. (So, yes, it can bring you a beer.) What intrigues me the most here is that its FusionPlatform is completely open; you can plug any device into its various power ports and customize this robot to do what you need. That's smart. Gizmodo's Best of CES 2025 Awards (Full List) Aurzen Zip Projector - The Aurzen Zip is the tiniest 720p projector I've ever seen. When folded, the $200 Zip is about the size of half an iPhone, making it the perfect on-the-go projector. The trifold projector can wirelessly mirror whatever is on your phone without a wifi connection. Two of the best features: it's MagSafe-compatible and has a 90-minute battery life. TCL QM6K TV - When it comes to TVs, bigger is always better—and it always comes with a higher price. But that's not the case with the TCL QM6K TV, with the 55-inch model costing $749 and the 98-inch version topping out at $3,499. Before you write the QM6K off as a no-frills budget brand, check out some of the specs. As a QD mini-LED device, the QM6K can give some of the pricier heavy hitters a run for their money in the color and brightness categories. In fact, the QM6K is 53% brighter than previous models and 10% more light efficient. Plus, it has a host of powerful tech onboard to make its case, including HDR10, HDR+, and Dolby Vision. You get integrated Onkyo speakers, which should produce solid audio. However, the screen's the star here, serving up captivating colors with deep blacks and sharp details. It's an absolute beauty of a TV that brings all the bells and whistles you'd expect from a premium television at a fraction of the price. Technics EAH-AZ100 Earbuds - It takes a lot to stand out in the crowded field of wireless earbuds, but Panasonic's new flagship Technics EAH-AZ100 manage to do just that. Panasonic claims its $300 earbuds, available now, can offer reference class HiFi audio without needing large wired cans, thanks to “magnetic fluid drivers.” The buds' sound quality was impressive, especially with the world snuffed-out with ANC mode turned on. The sound resolution and bass were especially surprising, even while surrounded by noisy throngs of CES goers.The brushed steel case design makes the buds feel as premium as their $300 price tag. XGIMI Ascend - The Xgimi Ascend is a gorgeous 2-in-1 prototype ALR (Ambient Light Rejection) projector screen with a powerful soundbar. The Ascend houses a 100-inch motorized floor-rising screen for an immersive home theater experience. We've seen rollup displays before, but none of them match the style of the Ascend. The screen is adjustable, allowing it to be partially lowered for ambient modes, like a cozy fireplace display or a music visualization. Though still a prototype, the Ascend has the potential to attract anyone who wants a pop-up movie theater without spending tens of thousands of dollars. AVS Forum Best of CES 2025 (Full List) Valerion VisonMaster Max Lifestyle Projector - This was easily one of the most anticipated booth visits for both us and our readers. When we tested the Valerion Pro2, we were impressed by its performance, but it lacked some key features you'd want for a fully dedicated home theater system. Enter the Valerion Max, the flagship model that was teased during the brand's Kickstarter campaign. It promised to deliver everything the Pro2 was missing, including a dynamic iris, and we finally got to see it in action. LG G5 OLED - It's easily one of the most impressive TVs we've seen at the show. Available in sizes ranging from 48 inches all the way up to 97 inches, the G5 is packed with features. All sizes (except the 48- and 97-inch models) include LG's Brightness Booster Ultimate. LG also gave the remote a much-needed makeover. it's now slimmer with fewer buttons, which is a welcome change. TCL QM6K Mini LED TV - TCL is taking a different approach this year with a phased rollout of their TV lineup, starting with the QM6K, the first model in their new Precise Dimming series. As an entry-level option, the QM6K brings a surprising amount to the table. It features 500 dimming zones, a 144Hz refresh rate (boosted to 288Hz with Game Accelerator), and TCL's AiPQ Pro Processor, carried over from last year's QM8 series. TCL 115QM7K - This one's a bit tricky. TCL is keeping most of the details about the QM7K under wraps for now, but from what we saw, it's shaping up to be a strong addition to their lineup. What we did find out is that the 115” model will have 25,000 dimming zones and 3000 nits of brightness. It's available in sizes up to 115 inches, this model expands on what was previously only offered in the QM8 series. The move could mean more affordable options for larger screens, which is always exciting. Onkyo Icon Series - The P-80 which is priced at $1,999, is a two-channel network preamplifier. It includes HDMI ARC, Dirac Live Room Correction, a phono output, and a fanless design to keep noise levels down. The build quality is sturdy as well, with a 5mm aluminum front panel and three-piece housing. The M-80 is also priced at $1,999, and is a two-channel power amplifier delivering 150 watts into 8 ohms or 200 watts into 4 ohms. It uses a Class AB 3-stage Inverted Darlington design, offering high current drive and low distortion. Focal DIVA Wireless Active Loudspeakers - The Focal DIVA speakers were announced about a month ago, and seeing them at CES 2025 confirmed they're as impressive as they sound on paper. These wireless active loudspeakers feature a 3-way bass reflex design and are surprisingly easy to set up. They support Bluetooth, AirPlay 2, Google Cast, and work with the Focal Naim app. Each speaker is equipped with its own DAC and DSP, delivering 75 watts to the midrange, 75 watts to the tweeter, and 125 watts to each bass driver. That's a total of 400 watts RMS powered by four Class AB amplifiers. At $39,999 a pair, the Divas aren't for everyone, but they began shipping during the show for those ready to invest in high-performance audio. LG CineBeam S Ultra Short Throw Projector - LG revealed their solution: the CineBeam S, an ultra short throw version of the projector. It retains all the features we liked from the CineBeam Q, including an RGB laser with native 4K resolution, 500 ANSI lumens of brightness, and auto screen adjustment. But the big update here is the ultra short throw design, making it much easier to fit into a variety of setups.
