As you already know, Xiaomi presented its new Redmi Note 13 family on September 21, a new generation made up of the Redmi Note 13 Pro+, Redmi Note 13 Pro and Redmi Note 13 5G, which offer a lot for a fairly moderate price. However, even though we are talking about one of the most successful series in the world of smartphones, it has been dragging a quite important problem over the last few years.
This has to do with the proximity sensor that Xiaomi has been introducing for quite some time in some of its equipment, and it is an element that It is giving problems to many users when they use it on a daily basis.. And if you were thinking that this generation was going to be different, everything seems to indicate that we will continue with a new chapter in this worrying story.
Elliptic Labs is still in charge of supplying the proximity sensor in the new Redmi Note 13
We saw it in the Redmi Note 11 and Redmi Note 12, and Xiaomi has confirmed that in these new Redmi Note 13 everything will remain the same. We talk about the virtual proximity sensor called AI INNER BEAUTY and supplied by the Norwegian company Elliptic Labs which, as you already know, is responsible for turning off the screen automatically when we bring the phone to our ear, although it is not as precise as we would like.
The main advantage of using this component is that it allows eliminate dedicated hardware that can be used to add other elements such as greater battery capacity. The theory sounds great, but in practice we are talking about a system that is not performing very well in daily use, and it is something that users continue to suffer from today.
Of course, we must also highlight that Laila Danielsen, CEO of Elliptic Labs, has assured that This tool continues to improve over time thanks to artificial intelligencewhich is capable of analyzing in a much more effective way the ultrasounds necessary for the sensor to function correctly.
However, experience tells us that it is better to be cautious and wait to see how this component works within the new Redmi Note 13, since history does not play much less in their favor. We will see what ends up happening in the end, but it is clear that Xiaomi is still determined to incorporate a tool that does not quite fit the needs of its users.
Do you want to have easy access to Google news from your Xiaomi, the so-called Discover? In case MIUI does not offer you the option in the launcher, you can always pin a shortcut, use a launcher or access through the MIUI app safe
All Xiaomi mobiles come with the possibility of anchoring a desktop to the left of the interface, this is called Application safe or « Application safe », a smart space where you can find everything from weather information to recommended apps. Now what if you want to redeem it for Google News, the so-called Google Discover? Xiaomi has started including it in new mobiles, such as the Xiaomi Mi 10 and the Redmi Note 9 family. Although the company decides to expand it to more international mobiles, we will show you the ways to access the stream. Google news.
Use the Google search widget
It’s one of the easiest ways to access Google news from all xiaomi phones can use it, regardless of the model and version of MIUI (and almost all other Android). In fact, it’s more convenient than having Discover to the left of the desks because you just have to click on the widget to load the news.
In general, the search widget is usually preloaded on global Xiaomi mobiles. In case you didn’t or deleted it, you need to do the following:
Make the pinch gesture on your mobile desktop to display the launcher options.
Click on the « Widgets » icon.
Go to the Google section and click on its search widget to add it to the desktop.
If you don’t like the long widget, you can resize it until it only occupies two columns.
Once the widget is docked, you can access Google News by clicking on the « G » of said widget.
Use the MIUI app safe
The new MIUI international mobiles no longer have “App vault”, the so-called application vault: the Xiaomi Mi 10, Redmi Note 9, Redmi Note 9S or Xiaomi Redmi Note 9 Pro bring the Google Discover series. Older mobiles don’t have this option, but they can also use App Vault to access Google news.
This process involves an additional click on the widget without this little nuisance overshadowing the deployment of Discover. AND without having to change the look of your MIUI desks.
Change the launcher
If you want to emulate the behavior of Google Discover on non-Xiaomi mobiles and your MIUI launcher does not have the option in its settings, the only way to get it (for now) is via a third-party launcher. There are several that include the option, like the rootless launcher. We will choose this application for its simplicity, lightness and low consumption.
Download the launcher from Google Play.
Download the Apk to activate and install Google Discover.
Exit at the start of your Xiaomi and choose Launcher without root as the launcher.
Pinch on the desktop and go to « Home Settings ».
Activate ‘Show Google app‘and you will have the Discover news to the left of the desks.
Choose Discover if you already have it in your MIUI launcher
We were already saying that the new Xiaomi international mobiles come with Google Discover instead of App vault. So if you already have one on the market in 2020, you can check if you already have the option included in the MIUI launcher. For that:
Make the pinch gesture on the desktop of your Xiaomi and go to Settings.
After the rather surprising announcement of Fairy Tail The title by Koei Tecmo and Gust was also present at the Tokyo Game Show 2019. First there was a presentation providing some insights.

Interviews
4Gamer.net and Dengeki Online were also able to conduct interviews with producer Keisuke Kikuchi. We also see two images of the PS4 Pro version, which gives us an impression of the command-based combat system. Players can put together their group from the magicians known from the series. The story tells the “middle arc” from the manga template.
PS4 Pro version
Command based combat
Kikuchi further explained that you can expand the guild by completing quests, which is what the whole game is about. The combat should be similar to the Atelier games. As soon as you run into an enemy, command-based combat begins. Attributes and ranges must be included in the strategy.
Fighters use MP to cast magic, but these are recharged by defeating enemies. The cooperation attacks are particularly powerful. The game’s prologue is the fight against Hades as the climax of the “Tenrou Island Arc”. After the guild collapses, it starts to be rebuilt; the “Grand Magic Games Arc” covers the first half of the game.
While the story follows the anime template, there will be other things to do after the main story. So you will be able to experience new episodes. There is also variety during the story in the form of episodes or tasks for the characters.
A world map will connect Magnolia Town with the surrounding area, and you can also visit other cities such as Crocus. Hiro Mashima, the creator of the original, oversees the appearance of the characters and provides further advice on the game’s content. The development is currently at 50 percent.
What is Fairy Tail about?
The Fairy Tail template by Hiro Mashima is about the magician guild of the same name, Fairy Tail. As befits a typical guild, members complete quests for other people. In addition, the guild repeatedly gets involved in wild adventures on various trips. You can experience this in the game – as in the template. You take on the role of Natsu Dragneel, Lucy Heartfilia and other guild members.
Fairy Tail will be released worldwide next year for PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch and PCs.
The “Desperate Housewives” star was back during the “Dancing with the Stars 2024” bonus this Friday, February 23, on TF1. Everyone was waiting to know if James Denton would finally be able to dance despite his injury. In the end, he ended in tears.
On February 16, TF1 kicked off Dancing with the Stars 2024. A show during which James Denton was to take his first steps on the floor. But an injury ruined everything. Was he able to dance during the show this Friday, February 23?
His presence in the casting is a real event. The star of Desperate Housewives agreed to participate in season 13 of Dance with the stars. A joy for the public, but also for the entire TF1 program team who welcomed him like a king. Everyone was looking forward to discovering their first dance with Candice Pascal last Friday. But, during a tape, it was announced that James Denton had been injured during rehearsals. He suffered from a torn hamstring and was therefore unable to perform. After apologizing, he promised that he would do everything to dance the following week.
James Denton still can’t dance
This evening, TF1 viewers were hoping to finally discover his performance. Unfortunately, the 61-year-old star was once again unable to take to the floor. “The Desperate Housewives star was supposed to make her debut last week, but suffered an injury during practice. He did everything to be able to dance tonight but, alas, it’s going to be a little tight. He’s not capable, he doesn’t have the go to be able to dance“, confided Camille Combal. He then asked James Denton how he felt. “It is very frustrating, but everyone was very nice. They are the nicest people I have ever worked with in my life. The judges too. I’m not kidding, really. Every day I come and tell them I’m sorry. I really feel like I’m disappointing everyone. But everyone tells me my leg is more important“, he replied.
In order to cheer him up, the production decided to broadcast him a message from his children Malin and Sheppard (fruits of his union with Erin O’Brien). A tape recorder that made him cry and us with it.
Any Spanish collector of films in physical format was already smelling it, but it never hurts to have this sad certainty: the brutal ‘John Wick 4’ is left without a physical edition, since the distributor Diamond Films He has recalled that he does not plan to publish any of his films on DVD, Blu-ray or 4K Ultra HD, justifying this decision with “”.
Demand is very low
The truth is that no Diamond Films film has been published in physical format in our country for a long time, so the only thing we needed was an official explanation from him. We finally got it, and this is what it says:
Since we started our activity in Spain, we are committed to the creation and distribution of DVDs and Blu-Ray. Unfortunately, the company in charge of manufacturing and logistics ceased its activity permanently, due to the low demand for these products, so we had no choice but to stop editing our films in these formats. We understand that there are still some collectors who continued to bet on the physical format and we are very grateful that you are interested in keeping it, but we hope you understand that the demand is so low that its manufacture is not economically viable.
That the physical market in Spain is not going through its best moment is something indisputable. Gone are the years of strength in which there were countless buyers. Many of them were disappearing with the rise of streaming and something tells me that the obsession created around 50% offers, very common a few years ago and rarely seen today, does not help to be profitable either. Now it seems that the only thing that really sells are steelbooks – and I am the first to give them priority over simple editions.
All in all, movies continue to be released in our country and there are distributors like Reel One Entertainment that subsist solely on DVD and Blu-ray sales, so profits should continue to give. Perhaps few and very focused on certain titles –I don’t have the slightest doubt about the good sales of ‘John Wick 4’, but what about the rest of the releases?-, so one can understand that they have opted for other sources of income. Which is it? I suspect that the exclusivity that Diamond Films titles have for a time with Prime Video when they are released on streaming must be more profitable than what they could earn without it and the extra of the physical format.
Obviously, ‘John Wick 4’ is not the only title affected -the same will happen with the recent ‘Talk to me’, the polarizing ‘Beau is afraid’ or the still pending release ‘The last trip of Demeter’-, but surely the most striking. Let’s not forget all the trouble that occurred with the physical format edition of its first installment, which did not appear for sale in our country until this very 2023. By the way, this will also affect future releases, so if ‘John Wick 5’ has just been done, you can count on the same thing to happen.
iPadOS 14, unveiled last month at WWDC 2020, came loaded with news for the iPad, further expanding its possibilities. However, Apple left some advantages along the way that we would have liked to see in this new version, and that they would have brought the iPad closer to the Mac. iPadOS 15 could be the key to integrating them, and would establish the iPad as the definitive hybrid device.
Let’s see then What features should or should be present on iPadOS 15 next year.
1- Full support for a second screen
Today, and for a few years now, IPad lets you mirror your screen to an external monitor or TV, wired or via AirPlay if we have an Apple TV or a compatible TV. However, it is limited to that, duplicating your screen or at most reading the contents of the tablet.
Until iOS 13, given the inability to navigate on a second monitor due to the lack of touch input, there was no need to enable this as a second desktop, as it happens with the Mac. Now, with the latest versions of iPadOS, we can navigate the iPad with a mouse and keyboard, which would allow us to seamlessly use a second monitor with a second desktop through an alternate touch input method.
Full second monitor support would allow use of a second desktop like on the Mac, which makes the iPad much more productive thanks to the limitation of multitasking to Split View on a single screen.
2- Xcode on iPad
Despite the fact that developers build their apps for iOS, iPadOS, and MacOS in Xcode, these are limited to programming exclusively on Macbecause no other platform has a version of Xcode outside of the computer.
Xcode on the iPad would offer a world of possibilities, which this would reduce costs when programming applications because with an iPad of just over 300 € and a mouse and keyboard, we could use the application without any problem. In addition, would streamline the programmed code testing process, since you are already on a device that is running the system and architecture that it will then need to run natively on, and that will undoubtedly provide a better experience than testing on the Mac or having to transfer the app on the iPad or iPhone whenever you want to test the calendar.
Counting Apple now with Xcode for the ARM architecture thanks to the creation of its new Apple Silicon, adapting this application to your tablet should not be excessively complicated and would open up new possibilities for programmers. This can be taken as an example also for other applications like Logic Pro X and Final Cut Pro X, which Apple has already shown, can work without problems in the new Apple Silicon, which is ultimately based on an A12Z chip.
3- Multi-user on iPad
Having independent user accounts on iPad as well as in macOS is something that has also been asking for a long time, and yet Apple hasn’t included it in iOS 14 either. Users are eagerly awaiting this feature, IPad use is common among family members in many homesHowever, they are forced to use a common environment, sharing the entire structure of iPadOS between them.
We know that Apple can bring this feature without too much difficulty, because already offers it in the educational environmentSo we want to think that it’s a matter of time that you end up implementing this possibility on your tablet, at least as long as it doesn’t contradict another possibility on the device.
4- Access to the complete system by Files
Apple has taken an important step by including after several generations a file manager in its mobile systems. However Files do not offer full access and are limited to a closed environment that does not allow us to dive into the system as if a computer were doing it.
To bring the iPad closer to the desktop environment, the having an unlimited file management system is essential, and will allow new possibilities on the iPad.

5- Tools to manage external storage
Until now, the iPad allows us to access files from external drives that we connect via USB-C or with an adapter to the Lightning port. We can read, move and write files to it, but not manage the storage drive as such. We cannot know what volume is available or even format it.
iOS 15 should bring new tools to manage external unitsand don’t limit iPad to a device that can only read and move files on the connected drives.
6- Options from iOS to iPadOS
iOS 14 has brought many new possibilities to our iPhone. However, and despite a system based on each other, iPadOS 14 has no capabilities present on the phone.
The app to control Apple Watch, Health or the new Translate app are not present on iPadOS 14, and we think these are very necessary tools on the tablet. The watch could also be synced with the iPad, providing an extended view of the data, the Health app could also store our physical records and keep track and the new Translate app would be really useful because for many users, the iPad is a tool for travel time.
7- Solve window management with ⌘-TAB
Now that the iPad allows you to open multiple windows of an application and the keyboard support allows us to switch windows with the ⌘-TAB command, Apple should implement a second command to switch between different windows of the same app, allowing for example to navigate with a keyboard command between two different Safari windows open at the same time. Currently, you have to press and hold the app with two windows and choose the one you want, while tapping.
Just under a day to start Season 1 of Diablo IV, Blizzard has released a patch that leaves virtually no stone unturned in the game; new unique itemstraits or aspects, better quality of life and especially the rebalancing are the main points of the game patch 1.1 from Activission-Blizzard.
Is about biggest game update to date, and it is not for less considering that it is destined to revitalize the ”High-End” content of the title while paving the way for future novelties. After reviewing its more than 500 changes to all the levels that it incorporates, these are its main novelties and additions to the last chapter of the Diablo saga.
Diablo IV Patch 1.1
Starting with the basics, the patch itself weighs 10 gigs and it should start downloading automatically as soon as you boot up Battle.net. In essence it contains a wide variety of bug fixes in events, side quests and abilities for all characters, too many to list in one entry without being tedious to read. But most importantly, it incorporates the content of the Season of Evil that starts on the day into the game client. July 20th.
The proof is that we can already see among our ”crafting” resources the icores that are obtained by recycling evil hearts. Regarding the rest of the changes, it is the biggest patch released so far, and it is divided into four large blocks of content:
Balance Updates
New Unique Items and Legendary Traits
Bug Fixes
game updates
You can check the notes for it in the official game bulletin on the Blizzard website, but we also want to highlight some notable notes in each one so that you know what you are going to find before getting into the game or reading the notes.
Balance Updates
Although it is the last section according to the notes, it is the most extensive and the one that contains the largest number of changes distributed among all the classes. In view of the unintentional damage values that Blizzard have observed in recent weeks, all classes have seen reduced efficiencies of affixes focused on critical hits, cooldowns, and stat bonuses for weapons. All this without counting the specific adjustments for each classwhich in many cases compensate for these reductions, but in general, there are “nerfs” at a general and specific level, not counting the changes for each class that have their own rebalancing.
Changes for each class have required their own subsections; don’t forget to check them to readjust your builds. Image – news.blizzard.com
Finally, they have included over 50 rebalances to all types of damage and reductions to compensate for the ”nerfs” contained at the beginning of this section, although they also affect the NPCs against us. The objective is to test how the game responds and the general balance to continue adjusting it for the future.
New Unique Items and Legendary Traits
Among the notable news, we find the new unique objects that are available for the classes of the game. The rarest of all is Ahavarion, the Lycander Spear; an ultra-rare unique staff that will only drop as a drop inl World Level 4. The developers already warn of the rarity of getting it. Regarding the rest of the objects, these are the ones that Patch 1.1 brings:
For the Barbarian: Heavenly Wrath (single sword); a two-handed weapon that adds a chance to freeze enemies for three seconds and deal the corresponding cold damage type
For the Druid: the Flesh Tear; a one-handed mace that empowers the Weakening Roar and Blood Howl abilities (will deal damage to nearby enemies)
For the Necromancer: Watcher’s Wall; a unique shield that works in conjunction with Bone Storm that knocks enemies outside of it and has a chance to spawn another storm.
For the Rogue: the eagle horn; a unique bow that gives a piercing shot a high chance that the arrow it shoots will bounce off walls or walls of the stage and that if it hits enemies from behind it makes them vulnerable.
For the Sorcerer: the oculus; Unique rod that grants the Teleportation evasion enchantment for free and allows us to move to a random location.
Accompanied by these novelties in the arsenal of the classes have also been introduced seven new traits or legendary skins to be acquired in Season 1 content. There are two generals (not exclusive to any class) and then one for each class:
daring trait
When there are at least 5 enemies nearby, you stun them for 2-4 seconds. It can only happen once every 20 seconds.
General
cowardly trait
Gain 20-40% increased movement speed when moving away from slowed or icy enemies.
General
Ancient Charge Trait
Charge summons 4 Ancients that also charge, dealing 50-100% of normal damage.
Barbarian
underground feature
Poisonous Vine’s active also casts Avalanche in a circle around you. Ground abilities deal 10-20% increased damage to poisoned enemies.
Druid
Cruor Quill Trait
Blood Spear will consume blood orbs, which will also spawn spears. Each additional Blood Lance deals 20-50% of normal damage and targets enemies not impaled primarily.
Necromancer
Stink Points Trait
Every 3 casts of Punch, he has Poison Imbue at 100-150% of normal power.
Rogue
Searing Wards Trait
After spending 200-100 mana, your next Wall of Fire has no cast cost and will destroy small missiles coming your way.
Magician
Error correction
section of Error correction it is the second largest of this patch. There’s no area of the game that hasn’t received a fix, and while there weren’t too many bugs to hinder the experience, it’s appreciated that Blizzard would kindly iron out these minor bugs before Season 1 of the game arrives.
There is more than 120 arrangements distributed between the interface, the dungeons or events, cooperative play, traits, abilities, objects and others. As we have already said, it is best that consult the notes to be aware, but the good news is that if there was a mission or event that did not complete correctly, it probably will now.
Game Updates
It is undoubtedly the section that has generated the most interest in terms of progressing through the levels of the game. Despite the fact that the developers in their patch notes say they are satisfied with the most basic levels of the world, they have been modified some values in the levels of the enemy NPCs so that it is not so easy to eliminate them or get loot from them. At the same time, a limit to the level of monsters based on ours has now been implemented. At most we will find monsters that are five levels above ours, or below in the same proportion if we are close to the level cap of the world level in which we play, or four levels above or below when we are close to that limit .
To compensate for those changes, the experience and rewards gained from the whispers of the tree It has been significantly increased; it’s an incentive for players not to focus so much on just killing mobs and NPCs with their best builds and spend some time completing those activities; amen that now it will be more lucrative in order to get resources and materials. The Hell Tides they have also increased their risk reward ratio; NPCs will be more powerful in them and some gifts (chests with high quality items) will cost more aberrant favils to open. In contrast, all interactive items on the stage now have a higher chance to drop favils so they won’t be as time consuming to get.
Over the changes in quality of lifeThese are the most important and intended to pave the way for the start of Season 1:
Shrines of Lilith are now unlocked account-wide.
The map you’ve discovered is now unlocked account-wide.
Whispers will no longer reward Stealth Dust.
In general, the quality of loot from Silent Chests has improved significantly.
The leave dungeon ability channel time has been increased from 3s to 5s.
In general, we’ve reduced the tendency of many monsters to move around the battlefield so melee attacking characters don’t have to chase their enemies as much.
The PS5 Dual Sense Edge Wireless Controller is now compatible with PC.
All in all, all that remains is to put these novelties and changes into practice in the game and very soon in our fight against The Evil Ones in Season 1. If you want to know more about the game, you only have to consult our analysis of the game signed by Alberto Pastor, and we remind you that we have an extensive guide with which to help you fight lilith and the burning hells.
