At this point, we’ll assume you already know that four humans took a sightseeing trip around the Moon and made their triumphant return to Earth on Friday. Even if you somehow avoided hearing about it through mainstream channels, we kept a running account of the mission’s highlights stuck to the front page of the site for the ten days that the crew was in space.
On the assumption that you might be a bit burned out with space news at this point, we won’t bring up it up in this post… other than to point out that excitement for the lunar flyby has driven the number of simultaneous players of Kerbal Space Program to its highest count ever — nearly 20,000 armchair astronauts spent this weekend trying to...

Some might say the venerable Z80 doesn’t need another operating system, but [Scott Baker] obviously disagrees. He has come up with a brand new, from scratch OS called NostOS for the Z80-based RC2014 homebrew retrocomputer. [Scott] describes it as CP/M-like, but it’s not CP/M– in fact, it’s totally incompatible with CP/M–and has a few tricks of its own up its sleeve.
As you might expect of an operating system for this vintage of hardware, it is “rommable” — that is, designed to run from read-only-memory, and fit inside 64kB. It of course supports banking memory to go higher than that 16 bit limit, and natively supports common serial devices, along with the good old WD37C65 floppy controller to...

I mean, I guess it kinda looks like the moon? | Image: Kate NV / RVNG Intl. For obvious reasons, I've had Moon on the mind all week. So I was trying to figure out what I should recommend this week that would thematically fit. Brian Eno's Apollo: Atmospheres and Soundtracks is incredible, and if you haven't listened to it, go do that now. But it also seemed a bit on the nose. Radiohead's A Moon Shaped Pool also came to mind. But it also felt a bit obvious. Then I remembered Kate NV's Room for the Moon, a record I had on repeat in 2020. Russian artist Kate Shilonosova chases ideas across 11 tracks inspired by Russian and Japanese pop from the '70s and '80s, as well as children's movies. This obviously leads Room...

Rockstar confirmed on Saturday that some of its data was compromised in a breach of a third-party provider. The group ShinyHunters claimed responsibility, saying it had gained access to the company's Snowflake instances (a cloud-hosting provider popular with enterprise customers) via Anodot, a cost-monitoring and analytics service. The group is demanding a ransom by April 14th, or it will leak the data it has stolen.
In a statement provided to Kotaku, the company said that the compromised data was limited in scope and "this incident has no impact on our organization or our players." It's unclear exactly which data was compromised, but it …

Self-similar images are rather common, which are images in which the same image is repeated on a smaller scale somewhere within the image that one is looking at, something which is also referred to as the Droste effect. Yet in [MC Escher]’s 1956 Prentententoonstelling (‘picture gallery’) drawing, this self-similar image is somehow also the foreground image, from where it just keeps looping around in an endless dance. How this effect is accomplished and what the mathematical transformations behind it are and how they work is explained in a recent video by [3Blue1Brown].
The video uses previous work by [B. de Smit] and [H. W. Lenstra Jr] whose 2003 paper detailed the underlying transformations, as well as...

We spend a lot of time at The Verge waxing poetic about the latest gadgets, but sometimes it’s the last-gen devices from several years ago that offer the better value. The 2021 Kindle Paperwhite is a great case in point — especially since you can grab it at Woot in refurbished condition with lockscreen ads, 8GB of storage, and a 90-day warranty starting at $49.99 through the rest of today, April 12th, which is about $90 off the e-reader’s original list price. Per usual, Amazon Prime members will also receive free shipping with their purchase. The entry-level refurb models are in full working order but include a unspecified, moderate level of wear and tear — hence their “scratch and dent”...

If you started with computers early enough, you’ll remember the importance of the RAMdisk concept: without a hard drive and with floppies slow and swapping constantly, everything had to live in RAM. That’s not done much these days, but [Quackieduckie]’s solar powered Pi Zero W web server has gone back to it to save its SD card.
Sustainability and low power is the name of the game. Starting with a Pi Zero W means low power is the default; a an SLS-printed aluminum case that doubles as the heat sink– while looking quite snazzy–saves power that would otherwise be used for cooling. The STLs are available through the project page if you like the look and have a hankering for passively cooled Pi. Even...

Hisense is first out of the gate with the UR9 RGB LED TV, which uses individual red, green, and blue LEDs for its backlight. RGB LED TVs have been the talk of the TV world this year, with models coming from all the manufacturers, and the first one of 2026 is here - the Hisense UR9. It's the first look at the viability of the new backlight technology outside of demo rooms, and it's a step above the traditional mini-LED TVs of years past. HDR is colorful and accurate, it has great brightness, and it is capable of showing colors beyond the P3 color space for movies and TV shows that have wider color.

A Taito Egret II mini arcade cabinet.
A while back [Jack] came across a Taito arcade game that neither he nor any of his mates recognized. The game was Adventure Canoe and part of the collection of forty preinstalled games on a Taito Egret II mini arcade cabinet. Yet despite [Jack] and his buddies being avid 1980s arcade enthusiasts, this 1982 title for the Z80-based Taito SJ system was completely unfamiliar to them.
When even a web search turned up extremely few details, [Jack] did the only reasonable thing and borrowed the rather expensive mini arcade for hopefully some extracting of the game ROM.
As expensive as this mini arcade is, it features the typical ARM-based SoC and Linux-based firmware. Although...

Vance a quitté le Pakistan après 21 heures de négociations sans accord, affirmant avoir soumis une « offre finale et définitive ». Le point de blocage central : l’Iran a refusé de s’engager à ne pas développer d’armes nucléaires.
Les deux délégations ont couvert l’ensemble des sujets — détroit d’Ormuz, programme nucléaire, réparations de guerre, levée des sanctions — mais elles étaient « simplement trop éloignées, pas seulement sur le fond, mais dans le style et le tempérament ».

Dans les années nonante, au moment du lancement de la console Pippin, Bandai avait une newsletter pour les développeurs.

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.

Le grand oral : épreuve de parole ou mise en scène ?
Initialement, cette expression évoque l’ultime épreuve de ce qu’autrefois on appelait « l’ENA » ; maintenant, c’est l’épreuve où le bac se joue. Schématiquement, l’exercice initial relevait d’une forme très spécifique d’entretien d’embauche, puisqu’il cloturait un recrutement pour la fonction publique et ne visait donc pas l’intégration du candidat dans une équipe entrepreneuriale. La différence n’est pas mince, puisque le fonctionnaire, dans la conception hégélienne, est un « serviteur de l’universel » qui doit son éthos à sa « fonction » et non à sa personne.

In June 2020, Spanish police led a Europe-wide operation that arrested 11 people connected to a pirate IPTV platform with two million subscribers. Europol and Eurojust announced the action with considerable fanfare but declined to name the service. However, at the time we confirmed that a key target was RapidIPTV, a platform that had been quietly running an IPTV streaming empire since at least 2014.
The authorities saw Amir Z. as the alleged mastermind behind the empire, which also offered a ‘franchise’ model. The man, known to his colleagues as “Dash the Iranian,” was arrested, and this week, after nearly six years of pre-trial proceedings, the prosecution formally started in court.
