80′ Next Liverpool throws everything forward. Only the Reds play. Madrid is walling and can hardly get out of their own half, let alone out of their own sixteen. Liverpool tries to finish on the edge of the penalty area. The ball is still treacherously deflected several times. Firmino, who has just come on as a substitute, is the last on the ball. However, Courtois keeps an overview, stretches and deflects the ball around the post.
MacBooks have welcomed various new technologies, but never a touch screen. Here is the reason.
Since 2006 and the release of the very first model, MacBooks have been among the most popular laptops in the world, with ever-increasing sales. Two models are currently on the market: the MacBook Air, ultra-thin and very easy to take everywhere, and the MacBook Pro, more expensive, but which includes many new technologies, such as the ProMotion in 2021.
But while the MacBook Pro has always been feature-rich, there’s one that Apple never offered: the touchscreen. And yet, there are plenty of opportunities. The hype for touch screens on laptops is now down, but 4 or 5 years ago, many computers were equipped with them. And yet, Apple has never offered a MacBook Air or Pro with a touch screen. A surprising choice, especially when you know that Apple was a precursor with its multi-touch on the iPhone.
In 2018, Craig Federighi, Apple’s senior vice president of software engineering, explained why his company never opted for a touchscreen MacBook. “We really think the ergonomics of using a Mac is that your hands are resting on a surface (the touchpad, editor’s note), and reaching up to touch the screen is a pretty tiring thing to do. ”
To avoid over-tiring the user, Apple opted for the famous Touch Bar in 2016. An ingenious touch screen that is positioned just below the screen, on the same surface as the keyboard and touchpad. A device that also wants to be faster and more easily accessible than a touch screen when you have your fingers on the keyboard. Eventually, Apple will return to the good old function keys in 2021 following realizing that users prefer a traditional keyboard.
More complicated navigation
But the problem with a touch screen is that it would complicate navigation. Currently, two interfaces are offered to the user: the keyboard and the Trackpad. A touch screen would force macOS to manage a third input device, which would force teams to adapt the operating system.
Finally, a touch device would undoubtedly lead to an increase in the price of the MacBook, but also a loss of finesse of the cover. On the one hand, the touch device is an additional technology to be integrated into the Mac, and an expensive technology moreover. The first to be impacted will then be the customers who will have to pay a high price.
On the other hand, a touch screen is enabled thanks to a thin layer sensitive to electricity present on the surface of our fingers. This layer may be thin, but introducing it behind the MacBook screen would increase the thickness of the screen, while Apple is constantly seeking to refine its screens. It would then occupy space for no reason in the hood of the MacBook, which Apple does not really appreciate. The jack port and the 3D Touch of the iPhone, considered useless and taking up space for no real reason, have paid the price…

The SsangYong brand has not been able to achieve great commercial success, especially in the old continent in recent years. Nevertheless, the Koreans continue to expand their product range, this time placing a new inexpensive SUV that will appeal to European customers, almost all of whom are moving towards the models. Dacia.
If the design sounds familiar, that’s because you may have seen it before, the Torres is the production name of the J100 project, which was announced last year. The name Torres, in reference to a Chilean park ‘Torres del Paine’ in Patagonia, known for its mountains, glaciers, lakes and rivers.
The company says the Torres will be the first model incorporating its new design identity called “Powered by Toughness”. The rugged styling cues of the SUV are shown in sketches that were released last year, with slim LEDs, a Jeep-style grille, scuff plates on the bumpers, toned fenders and a bump on the tailgate resembling an integrated spare tire cover. Also, in these illustrations, the car is equipped with large-diameter wheels shod with all-terrain tires, and roof-mounted headlights.
Will Dacia have a major competitor?
According to a SsangYong spokesperson, the Torres will bridge the gap between “mid-size SUVs like the Korando and large SUVs like the Rexton.” The company hopes that by creating an additional segment, it can increase its market share by taking advantage of the growing popularity of rugged-looking SUVs, especially in the European market, where this segment is dominated mainly by the Roman SUV. Dacia Duster.
Orders for SsangYong Torres will open in June in South Korea. A fully electric version of the SUV, codenamed U100, will be introduced in Europe towards the end of 2023.
Warnings of critical fire conditions encompassed much of the southwestern United States on Saturday as crews in northern New Mexico worked to contain the growth of the nation’s largest active wildfire.
The seven-week fire, the largest in New Mexico history, has consumed 491 square miles (1,272 square kilometers) of forest in rugged terrain east of Santa Fe since it began in April as two planned fires.
Crews patrolled the partially leveled areas and cleared and cut containment lines, including the main ones near the fire, while bulldozers scraped support lines further out.
The National Weather Service issued red flag warnings of critical fire conditions for parts of Arizona, Colorado, Kansas, Nevada, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Texas and Utah. Those conditions are a combination of gusty winds, low relative humidity, and dry vegetation.
The return of hotter, drier weather with stronger winds posed a threat of increased fire activity over the Memorial Day weekend, prompting authorities to urge the public to be vigilant to potential fire sources. of fire.
“The last thing we need right now is another ignition,” said Jayson Coil, operations section chief.
Wind gusts of up to 80 km/h (50 mph) with critical fire conditions are forecast to continue through Monday, followed by more favorable weather later next week, according to Bruno Rodriguez, meteorologist with the management team. of fires.
High winds might fan the flames and cause the fire to jump containment lines and move forward, said John Chester, head of firefighting operations.
“Imagine traveling in your car and the flames can overtake you. That’s the kind of extreme fire behavior we’re talking regarding,” Chester added.
About 3,000 firefighters and other personnel were assigned to the fire, which was regarding 48% contained.
Initial estimates indicate the fire has destroyed at least 330 homes, but state officials expect the number of homes and other structures consumed by the flames to rise to more than 1,000 as further assessments are made.
