If the rumours are true (about AI capabilities) it’d be best to wait yes.

It’s still happening every time there is football, at least they now seem to lift the block when the games end, when this started sometimes they took 12 hours after the game ended.

Yeah it did not do well, but it’s my favourite game of the year so far.

Not sure how will they rip it in days though, it won’t be on Blu-ray and it’s going to require a new firmware.

It’s been years since that, sheer incompetence.

Seen them yes, but the polls say otherwise, if elections were to happen now the majority of the parliament will be composed of the current opposition parties.

This term started with the wrong foot anyway, there’s a feeble majority that included a right wing party from Catalonia that based their political support to the governing left just based on the promise of judicial favours (pardons for crimes related to the Catalonia independence movement/crisis). It’s precisely that party that voted no on the emergency decree they wanted to have regarding the housing crisis.

Like I said, in order to avoid this mandate they turned their rentals into short term ones, the law had a loophole which made everything worse.

Last time they touched the housing laws one of the brilliant things they did was to force the owner of the flat to pay the expenses for signing the leasing contract of their tenants, before that change this was paid by the tenant. What happened is the landlords switched from long term rentals to short term rentals because they did not modify that clause for those type of rentals, so the tenants got the worse outcome: rental contracts of 11 months instead of 5 years, which also opens the door to massive rent increases every 11 months or eviction instead of just the inflation rate of the year under the other contracts.

They also keep increasing the difficulty of evicting non paying tenants, taking a lot of rentals out of the market because owners are simply afraid of not being able to evict a non paying tenant, or making prices increase to account for that risk.

It’s a district, which includes the park but also very expensive properties.

The current government has only worsened the situation and now somehow they want to be the champions of fixing after almost 8 years in power. They are not fooling anybody.

No those came later, it was the colored translucent iMacs that got them back in track, then the iPod.
