The carefully choreographed annual meetings signal the priorities of the world's second-largest economy.

Cité 57 fois dans les archives déclassifiées par le ministère de la Justice américain, l’ancien président conservateur Andrés Pastrana est au cœur d’un scandale qui mélange vols sur le “Lolita Express”, photos en uniforme aux côtés de Ghislaine Maxwell et accusations de mener un “safari humain”.

Le chef de file de La France insoumise s’est à nouveau illustré ces derniers jours avec des sorties polémiques aux relents antisémites. S’il multiplie les outrances et crispe l’opinion, c’est qu’il espère se placer comme seule alternative au Rassemblement national en 2027, estime cet éditorialiste de “La Tribune de Genève”.

Un message revendique la fin de YGG, évoque des serveurs « vidés puis détruits » et promet des révélations techniques. Derrière l’onde de choc, une bataille de contrôle, d’argent et de traces numériques. Un texte virulent attribué à un groupe non identifié annonce l’effondrement de YGG après des « années de mensonges » et décrit […]

In recent years, YggTorrent was France’s largest and most active torrent community, serving millions of users.
The torrent site was not a typical torrent indexer. The community is powered by a dedicated tracker, something that’s quite rare these days.
This thriving community was severely tested last December when its operators introduced a paid ‘Turbo Mode’. This triggered a revolt, with users and uploaders actively looking for alternative French torrent trackers. Just as the storm appeared to have calmed, YggTorrent’s operation was shaken up by a final blow this week, after unknown people breached the site, stole data and funds, and exposed the entire operation.

C'est la grosse actu du jour ! YggTorrent, le plus gros tracker torrent francophone, a fermé DÉFINITIVEMENT ses portes après une cyberattaque survenue le 3 mars 2026. Un site de piratage qui se fait... pirater. Oups !
Un hacker du nom de Gr0lum a revendiqué l'opération baptisée YGGLeak. D'après lui, il aurait exfiltré la base de données complète du site, soit environ 6,6 MILLIONS de comptes utilisateurs. Il s'agit d'emails, de mots de passe hashés en bcrypt, d'adresses IP, d'historiques de navigation... genre, le package complet. Donc pas exactement le genre de truc que vous voulez voir traîner dans la nature.

L’Etat hébreu a continué de pilonner l’Iran avec des vagues massives et incessantes d’avions militaires tout en attaquant le Hezbollah au Liban. Le système antimissiles a permis de limiter les dégâts sur son territoire.

« Nous sommes proches d’une décision mais la situation est celle d’une guerre », a déclaré Ahmad Khatami, membre de l’Assemblée des experts – l’institution responsable du choix d’un nouveau guide –, laissant entendre que le processus prendrait du temps.

La guerre contre l’Iran a provoqué une certaine euphorie et un élan de solidarité au sein de la société israélienne. Mais ses objectifs doivent être de mettre fin au cycle d’effusion de sang et de construire un avenir pacifique avec les Iraniens qui luttent pour la liberté et la sécurité, écrit cette éditorialiste dans le “Yediot Aharonot”.

Pour la rentrée scolaire, plusieurs écoles panaméennes sont accusées d’avoir refusé l’accès à des élèves afro-descendants en raison de “coiffures inappropriées” et de l’absence de “certificat d’appartenance ethnique”.

You may or may not be reading this on a smartphone, but odds are that even if you aren’t, you own one. Well, possess one, anyway — it’s debatable if the locked-down, one-way relationships we have with our addiction slabs counts as ownership. [LuckyBor], aka [Breezy], on the other hand — fully owns his 4G smartphone, because he made it himself.
OK, sure, it’s only rocking a 4G modem, not 5G. But with an ESP32-S3 for a brain, that’s probably going to provide plenty of bandwidth.

Google is partnering with Back Market to sell USB sticks that let you install ChromeOS Flex on older Windows and Intel-powered Macs collecting dust.

En 2016, j’avais testé un disque dur externe assez étonnant pour Canard PC Hardware (n°29, pas en ligne) : l’Innov8 de Seagate. Ce modèle de 8 To, vendu à l’époque 400 € (une capacité qui reste onéreuse en 2026), est unique à ma connaissance : il est auto-alimenté en USB-C. Même en 2026, tous les modèles basés sur des disques durs 3,5 pouces sont alimentés en externe, et seuls les modèles 2,5 pouces (qui font au mieux 6 To) sont auto-alimentés (et souvent en USB-A, mais c’est un autre problème). J’ai réussi à en trouver un récemment, pour une sorte de (re)test. Physiquement, c’est un gros boîtier : 20,8 x 12,3 x 3,6 cm pour 1,49 kg. Il est plus large et plus long qu’un...

Les catastrophes naturelles secouent l'Europe : au début de l'année 2026, certaines régions du Portugal et du sud de l'Italie ont été frappées par des tempêtes hivernales. Au Portugal, la tempête Kristin a fait au moins 5 morts et privé d'électricité 850 000 personnes. En Sicile, le cyclone Harry a provoqué un glissement de terrain de 4 km de long et causé des dégâts estimés à environ un milliard d'euros. Face à ces événements, le Parlement européen a tenu un débat en session plénière à Strasbourg, le 10 février dernier.

Democrats have not won a statewide race in Texas in more than thirty years, but on Tuesday night they seemed to have found an interesting prospect.

Old desk phones are fairly useless these days unless you’re building a corporate PBX in your house. However, they can be fun to hack on, as [0x19] demonstrates by porting DOOM to a Snom 360 office phone. 
The Snom 360 is a device from the early VoIP era, with [ox19] laying their hands on some examples from 2005. The initial plan was just to do some telephony with Asterisk, but [ox19] soon realized more was possible. Digging into a firmware image revealed the device ran a Linux kernel on a MIPS chip, so the way forward became obvious.
They set about hacking the phone to run DOOM on its ancient single-color LCD. Doing so was no mean feat. It required compilation of custom firmware, pulling over a better...

Running a nuclear power plant isn’t an easy task, even with the level of automation available to a 1980s Soviet RBMK reactor. In their continuing efforts to build a full-sized, functional replica of an RBMK control room as at the Chornobyl Nuclear Power Plant – retired in the early 2000s – the [Chornobyl Family] channel has now moved on to the SKALA system.
Previously we saw how they replicated the visually very striking control panel for the reactor core, with its many buttons and status lights. SKALA is essentially the industrial control system, with multiple V-3M processor racks (‘frames’), each with 20k 24-bit words of RAM....

WOH G64 has always been an oddball. It sits in the Large Magellanic Cloud, a small galaxy that orbits the Milky Way, and it ranks among the most extreme red supergiants known. Earlier estimates put it at roughly 1,540 times the Sun’s radius. It also sheds mass at an unusually high rate and sits inside a thick, dusty environment that partly hides what is going on. Then, around 2014, the star did something rare: it changed in a way that did not bounce back. A new study led by Gonzalo Muñoz-Sanchez at the National Observatory of Athens, published in Nature Astronomy, argues that WOH G64 shifted away from its red supergiant state and into a warmer, short-lived phase that resembles a yellow hypergiant. That kind...

Astronomers watched as the supergiant WOH G64 reshaped itself into a different type of star.

If you’ve ever used a ballpoint pen with a clip on the top, you’ve probably noticed they bend pretty easily. The clip relies on you only bending it a small amount to clip it on to things; bend it too far, and it ends up permanently deformed. [Craighill] decided to develop a pen clip that didn’t suffer this ugly malady. 
The wire clip design easily opens wide because the spring wire is not actually deforming much at all. Credit: YouTube video, via screenshot
The problem with regular pen clips comes down to simple materials science. Bend the steel clip a little bit, and the stress in the material remains below the elastic limit—so it springs back to its original shape. Push it too far, though, and...

In a downtown Manhattan courtroom on Monday, lawyers for the US Justice Department and 40 state and district attorneys general warned a jury that the concert industry was being squeezed by a monopolist: Live Nation-Tickemaster. After amassing dominance over ticketing and artists' use of large amphitheaters, lead DOJ counsel David Dahlquist alleged, Live Nation constructed a "flywheel" of power that forced venue customers to stay within its ecosystem. It threatened or retaliated against them when they considered leaving. To even attempt to win business, Dahlquist said, ticketing rivals needed to offer "retaliation insurance" to venues worried …

On paper, declaring war is reserved for Congress. The Tonkin Gulf Resolution turned a constitutional requirement into a legislative habit of looking away.

Loose ends bother some minds more than others. When the world feels messy, a story that ties every thread into one knot can feel like relief. That pull toward order sits at the center of a new study led by Flinders University. The work suggests that a person’s “systemizing” style, a strong drive to find patterns and consistent rules, can predict who is more drawn to conspiracy beliefs. The researchers argue this matters because conspiracy beliefs can shape vaccine uptake, trust in institutions, and how people respond during emergencies. “People often assume conspiracy beliefs form because someone isn’t thinking critically,” says Dr Neophytos Georgiou from Flinders University’s College of...

Markets react as the conflict in the Middle East intensifies and concerns grow over how long it will last.

President Donald Trump arrives at the White House as joint US-Israeli military strikes on Iran continue. Washington, DC, on March 1st, 2026. | Photo: Getty Images Fuel prices surged after the Trump administration launched strikes against Iran on Saturday, immediately raising questions about whether the war would increase energy costs for Americans, put more pressure on power grids, and push companies to pump out more oil and gas in the US. If conflict drags on, that could potentially play into Donald Trump's plans to "drill, baby, drill" - but that doesn't necessarily protect Americans from higher energy prices. Keep in mind that it's still too early to tell what kind of war the US may have sparked. The spike...

Donald Trump’s post on Truth Social about Iran echoed a conspiracy theory that has been circulating online for years.

If all you want is just a basic WiFi extender that gets some level of network connectivity to remote parts of your domicile, then it might be tempting to get some of those $5, 300 Mbit extenders off Temu as [Low Level] recently did for a security audit. Naturally, as he shows in the subsequent analysis of its firmware, you really don’t want to stick this thing into your LAN. In this context it is also worrying that the product page claims that over a 100,000 of these have been sold.
Starting the security audit is using $(reboot) as the WiFi password, just to see whether the firmware directly uses this value in a shell without sanitizing. Shockingly, this soft-bricks the device with an infinite reboot loop...

Year-round training has become normal for many young athletes chasing scholarships or professional dreams. New research suggests that narrow focus may come with physical costs that appear years later. Two studies presented at the 2026 Annual Meeting of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons examined how early single-sport specialization affects the body over time. One focused on college-age athletes and hip health. The other analyzed injury patterns among National Football League players. Together, the findings point in the same direction: athletes who diversify their sports during adolescence may face fewer injuries later. Signs of Strain Emerging in Early Adulthood Michael C.

A razor-thin spike of radio light, tuned to a wavelength of about 18 centimeters, just traveled more than 8 billion light-years and still arrived loud enough to stand out in MeerKAT’s data. That signal comes from HATLAS J142935.3–002836, also called H1429-0028, a violently merging, gas-rich system at redshift z = 1.027. In new MeerKAT observations, astronomers detected hydroxyl (OH) maser emission from the galaxy, making it the highest-redshift hydroxyl megamaser yet found. The team’s paper has been accepted for publication in Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society Letters, with a preprint posted on arXiv. A “space laser” that works in radio Hydroxyl megamasers are sometimes described as...
