L’atelier Missor est une fonderie à la “vision réactionnaire” et pleinement connectée à la “manosphère antiwoke”, estime le site de gauche américain “The New Republic”. Cinq ans après sa fondation, en 2021, ses membres rêvent désormais d’exporter son “art nationaliste” aux États-Unis, observe le magazine de gauche américain.

The first thing you notice about the Slate Truck is its size. It's small, surprisingly so. In a country where trucks often come with their own zip code, Slate's pickup is refreshingly puny, measuring 174.6 inches long, 70.6 inches wide, and 69.3 inches tall, with a curb weight of approximately 3,602 pounds (1,634kg). As a reference point, it's nearly the same size as Marty McFly's 1985 Toyota SR5 from Back to the Future. But inside, that diminutive feeling disappears, as I found myself with ample amounts of head- and legroom. As a relatively tallish guy (over 6 feet) who often feels cramped in most vehicles, I couldn't believe the amount o …

En ligne, on vante de nombreuses techniques censées stimuler le nerf vague, sa manipulation étant souvent présentée comme un moyen de calmer le corps et de rééquilibrer le système nerveux. Pour le magazine britannique “Dazed”, ce besoin d’apaisement est symptomatique d’un mal-être bien plus général.

A photo of a black speaker, the Amazon Echo, on a gray background. | Photo: Amelia Holowaty Krales / The Verge Jeff Bezos badly wanted a voice computer. He had been saying so publicly since the very early days of Amazon, telling anyone who would listen about why voice might make it easier and more natural to interact with technology. (And to buy stuff from Jeff Bezos.) But when a team at Amazon set out to actually make the voice computer a reality, they encountered a seemingly endless series of hard problems. Eventually, though, they created two products, the Echo speaker and the Alexa voice assistant, that would help bring a new kind of computer to millions of people.

It’s a common ritual: whipping out those calipers or similar measuring devices to measure part of a physical object that we’re trying to transfer into a digital model in an application like FreeCAD. Wouldn’t it be nice if said measurements were to be transferred instantaneously into the model’s sketch, including appropriate units of measurement? That’s essentially what [stv0g] has done by merging a Sylvac Bluetooth-enabled caliper and FreeCAD using a plugin.
Key to the whole operation is a Bluetooth-enabled caliper like the Sylvac S_Cal EVO that [stv0g] managed to score on EBay for a mere €90 when it normally goes for multiple times that amount. This has BLE built in, using BLE’s standard GATT...

Now that early PCs have moved firmly from the realm of e-waste into being collector’s items, it’s worth putting in some effort to restore them if you find one. [Epictronics] has an early IBM 5150, the ancestor of all today’s PCs, and is bringing it back to life. Along the way, he’s building a replica AdLib sound card, making a useful discovery about how to make new parts look authentic.
The video below the break is a gentle journey through an early PC teardown, followed by the construction of the replica sound card. Here’s the interesting nugget of information: these new cards are careful recreations of the originals, but they just don’t look right. It seems modern soldermask is too shiny, and as...

Dans les années nonante, au moment du lancement de la console Pippin, Bandai avait une newsletter pour les développeurs. C’est assez intéressant à lire, avec de petits détails pratiques sur le développement. Je continue avec la septième. Elle a été publiée en juillet 1996, après la sortie de la console. Elle est disponible sur archive.org. C’est parfois compliqué à afficher correctement, parce que l’encodage des caractères n’est pas celui utilisé en 2026. Avec Safari, il faut faire Présentation -> Encodage du texte -> Japonais (ISO 2022-JP). Même comme ça, il manque quelques caractères, donc je suppose que c’est un encodage plus ancien.

Ursula von der Leyen a entamé son premier mandat en tant que présidente de la Commission européenne avec un engagement précis : affronter la crise climatique avec des mesures durables et ambitieuses. Le Pacte vert pour l'Europe, une feuille de route ayant pour but d'atteindre la neutralité climatique en 2050, est né de cet engagement. Mais, cinq années plus tard, cet agenda a perdu son élan. La réélection de Von der Leyen ne s'est pas accompagnée d'une réaffirmation claire de cet engagement, du moins pas par des actions concrètes. L'agenda vert est passé au second plan. Ce changement soulève une question urgente : l'UE peut-elle se permettre de revoir à la baisse ses ambitions climatiques sans...

Many of us are guilty of toeing the line between having a ready supply of components at hand and simply hoarding for fear of throwing anything out. In a first admission of this problem, [Scott Lawson] decided to implement a couple of changes to assess his own position on this sliding scale.
The first change was to only put parts, components, and supplies in transparent boxes. Next was to add a sticker on each box noting the contents and box creation date. This was extended to plastic bags inside the boxes when further subdivision was warranted. Next, the question was about usage patterns, as you may think that you know how often you use something from a specific box, or how important its contents are, but it...

There were a plethora of tiny, local ISPs in the days of dial-up internet. Along with the big providers, many cities would have more than one. Some of those have survived broadband, but none of them were as small as [Jeff Geerling]’s Pi ISP — a tiny dialup ISP built so his Aunt’s old G3 MacBook can get online at 36kbps, as God and [Robert Khan] intended.
Hardware-wise, the Raspberry Pi is at one end of the chain, and your retrocomputer at another. In between, you’ll have a USB modem plugged into the Pi, and a device called a “two-way line simulator” to create a dial tone for that plain-old-telephone goodness. [Jeff] notes that these were commonly used in prisons for the phones that visitors use to...

Exposing the Wi-Fi chip to gamma radiation. (Credit: Yasuto Narukiyo et al, 2026)
From outer space to down here on Earth, there are many places where ionizing radiation levels are high enough that they effectively bar access for humans, but also make life miserable for anything containing semiconductor technology. This is especially true for anything involving wireless communications, such as Wi-Fi. However, recently Japanese researchers have created a Wi-Fi chip that is claimed to be so radiation-hardened that it can be used even in gamma ray-rich environments, such as in the worst contaminated depths of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear reactor.
The indicated dose exposure of 500 kilograys that the chip survived...

Murphy Campbell is at the center of a brewing storm around AI and a broken copyright system. | Image: Murphy Campbell In January, folk artist Murphy Campbell discovered several songs on her Spotify profile that did not belong there. They were songs that she had recorded, but she'd never uploaded them to Spotify, and something was off about the vocals.
She quickly surmised that someone had pulled performances of the songs she posted to YouTube, created AI covers, and uploaded them to streaming platforms under her name. I ran one of the songs, "Four Marys", through two different AI detectors, and it seemed to support her suspicions with both saying it was probably AI-generated.
Campbell was shocked, "I was kind...

Recently, I've seen posts by a couple of people about adding human.json to their sites.
At it's core, human.json is a simple attestation that the content they publish is written by a human and not by AI.
Obviously, any AI generated site could also publish a human.json, so the system works as a web of trust - the user trusts Alice, who states that Bob is a human, allowing the user to also trust Bob.
There are a couple of browser addons (for Firefox and for Chrome) which can display an indicator of humanity.
