Exiting the screen
Familiar with the feeling that in the middle of a good binge you are living in the Queen's Palace in the UK, or for example that you are in the middle of a robbery in the artificial currency of Spain, or that you are just going out for a drink with Emily in Paris?
- So it's time to get out of the movie and get into the series - but really.
Netflix announced this week the opening of tours of its popular photo sites in London, Madrid and Paris - and completely free.
Which means you can have a drink at Emily's bar in Paris, or visit the Bank of Spain with Tokyo and the Prosper (no, really).
The tours will take place between 11 and 17 July, and if you have not yet closed your summer vacation, this is the time.
I'm closing Madrid to myself.

In line for WhatsApp users
Are you also less fond of being followed by the "recently seen" on WhatsApp?
The messaging app adds a new feature that will allow you to hide your connection status from a specific contact.
This is a significant change, as so far WhatsApp has made it possible to hide the "recently seen" only in a sweeping way - something that many may prefer to avoid.
And that's not all, except for the new option, if you are very concerned about your privacy - you should know that the "about" can also be hidden - information you have written and can be read by your contacts, and your profile pictures.
It may be too early to invite them to a Friday dinner or to introduce them to the hot spots in Tel Aviv, but the Chinese state media has announced that it has found signs of life in space and that we are indeed not alone.
The problem is that very quickly someone mysteriously deleted the report and since then China has refrained from answering questions from the media on the subject.
There is no doubt that raising a report in a state-supported media and then deleting it raises questions - did government officials intervene in the story who prefer to keep this information from the public?
Or is it unreliable information that has been removed so as not to provoke speculation?
Either way, this report is already running on the net and the speculation is already there.
The report that went up and down in Science and Technology Daily, the official newspaper of the Chinese Ministry of Science and Technology, claimed that the world's largest radio telescope, called the Sky Eye, received electromagnetic signals different from anything recorded so far.
LG launches new monitors
Want to upgrade your TV screen?
LG has launched a new line of screens in Israel - with an emphasis on increasing screen brightness, and combines the familiar OLED panel with a special algorithm powered by the company's new artificial intelligence processor.
Alongside this, LG has also unveiled a 42-inch OLED screen, which is perfect for bedrooms or gaming, or at the other end, just for the upcoming World Cup games - a huge 97-inch screen!
The screens know how to match the color to the original content and produce colors accurately, regardless of the brightness of the displayed images.
