Selon le chef de l’administration militaire régionale, sept personnes ont été tuées, dont deux enfants, et 15 blessées par une frappe nocturne russe contre un immeuble d’habitation de la deuxième ville d’Ukraine. Un précédent bilan, samedi matin, faisait état de cinq morts.

Anthropic et Mozilla viennent de publier les résultats d'une collaboration menée en février. En deux semaines, le modèle Claude Opus 4.6 a analysé près de 6 000 fichiers C++ du code source de Firefox et découvert 22 vulnérabilités de sécurité, dont 14 classées haute gravité.

Modern-day receivers are miracles of digital audio and video processing, but compared to their more analog brethren, they can come with a host of new and fascinating faults. The Onkyo TX-SA806 and SR806 receivers were released back in 2008, with [Tony359] recently getting the latter variant in for repair. Described as having weird digital distortion on the audio outputs, this particular issue got fixed by recapping the PCB with all the digital processing in the first video on this receiver, but this left the second issue unaddressed of a persistent hum, which is the topic of the second video on this repair.

In the race to build the most capable LLM models, several tech companies sourced copyrighted content for use as training data, without obtaining permission from content owners.
Meta, the parent company of Facebook and Instagram, was one of the companies to get sued. In 2023, well-known book authors, including Richard Kadrey, Sarah Silverman, and Christopher Golden, filed a class-action lawsuit against the company.
Meta’s Bittersweet Victory
Last summer, Meta scored a key victory in this case, as the court concluded that using pirated books to train its Llama LLM qualified as fair use, based on the arguments presented in this case. This was a bittersweet victory, however, as Meta remained on the hook for...

Dans la capitale burkinabè, Ouagadougou, les perruques font fureur auprès des clientes qui y trouvent un gain de temps et d’argent. Mais “Studio Yafa”, qui s’est promené dans plusieurs boutiques vendant ces accessoires, alerte aussi sur les risques sanitaires du port de la perruque.

Fabricante du Washlet, des toilettes avec fonction bidet, l’entreprise japonaise Toto avait essuyé des refus catégoriques des centres commerciaux aux États-Unis dans les années 1990. Mais elle voit ses ventes fortement progresser ces dernières années. Le journal japonais “Mainichi Shimbun” se penche sur ce succès inattendu.

Quand elle était enfant, la flamboyante confiture égayait ses goûters. L’an dernier, c’est avec gourmandise que la journaliste Lydia Wilson a découvert qu’il existait, dans le comté de Cumbria, un festival consacré à la marmelade. Avec sa mère et un ami, elle a décidé d’y participer. Elle raconte cette aventure sur le site “New Lines Magazine”.

Avant SimpleText (l’ancêtre de TextEdit dans les Mac OS classiques), il y avait TeachText. C’est un petit programme qui permet d’ouvrir les fichiers textes simplement et rapidement. Et TeachText, disponible dans le System 7.1 et avant, a un petit Easter Egg. Je me demandais pourquoi il n’y avait pas de capture sur MacKiDo, j’ai (un peu) compris : quand on fait une capture avec le raccourci classique (command + shift + 3, comme en 2026), la fenêtre n’est pas capturée. Aucune idée de la raison. La capture n’affiche pas le menu
Du coup, j’ai sorti une carte d’acquisition. L’Easter Egg s’active en pressant command et option au moment de cliquer sur le menu  -> About TeachText....

Dans certaines cultures, retirer ses chaussures en entrant dans le logement de quelqu’un d’autre est une obligation à respecter, mais l’étiquette est moins stricte dans de nombreux autres pays. En Italie, “Specchio” analyse les raisons, “entre contrôle et lâcher-prise”, de ceux qui imposent le déchaussage et de ceux qui laissent le choix à leurs invités.

Ordinary Iranians reflect on seven days of conflict and where they see their country going next.

Can you remotely unlock an encrypted hard disk? [Jyn] needed to unlock their home server after it rebooted even if they weren’t home. Normally, they used Tailscale to remote in, but you can’t use tailscale to connect to the machine before the hard drive decrypts, right? Well, you can, sort of, and [Jyn] explains how.
The entertaining post points out something you probably knew, but never thought much about. When your Linux box boots, it starts a very tiny compressed Linux in RAM. On [Jyn’s] machine using Arch, this is the initramfs.
That’s not news, but because it is an actual limited Linux system (including systemd), you can add tools to it. In this case, adding dropbear (an ssh server) and Tailscale...

Usage of an automatic stoker. (Source: Claymills Pumping Station, YouTube)
Hacks are of all ages, with the Victorian-era Claymills Pumping Station being no exception. When its old Lancashire boilers from the 19th century were  finally replaced with modern 1930s boilers, the 1920s-era automatic stokers were bodged onto the new boilers with a rather ill-fitting adapter plate, as there was no standard Lancashire boiler design. Nearly a hundred years later it was up to the volunteers at this Victorian-era pumping station to inspect and refurbish this solution, before fitting it back onto the boiler.
Lancashire boilers have two flue channels in which the coal is burned, which used to be done purely by hand. The...

The DJI Romo robot vacuums. | Image: DJI On Valentine's Day, I brought you a story that's since made headlines all around the world: How one man, just trying to steer his DJI robot vacuum with a PlayStation gamepad, discovered an entire network of 7,000 remote-control DJI robots ready to let him peek into other people's homes.
To be clear, DJI had already begun addressing some of the related vulnerabilities before the man, Sammy Azdoufal, showed The Verge just how much he could access. But it wasn't clear whether DJI would pay him for his discovery, particularly after how it treated security researcher Kevin Finisterre back in 2017 - or how soon DJI might fully patch the additiona …

When thinking of humanity’s ability to harness wind energy, many people will conjure images of windmills from places like The Netherlands or Persia. But people have been using wind energy for far longer than that in the form of sailing ships. Using the wind for transportation goes back another four thousand years or so, but despite our vast experience navigating the seas with wind alone there is still some room for improvement. Many modern sailboats use a number of different pulleys to manage all of the rigging, but this new, open-source pulley can replace many of them.
The pulley, or “block” as they are sometimes called, is built with a polymer roller made out of a type of nylon, which has the benefit...

A blog post from Valve on Friday initially seemed to throw cold water on the idea that the Steam Machine, Steam Frame, and Steam Controller would arrive in 2026 at all. But Valve tells The Verge it did not mean to suggest that - and that all three pieces of hardware will indeed ship this year, despite challenges from the ongoing memory shortage. Earlier today, Valve wrote that "we hope to ship in 2026," which sounded like a downgrade from Valve's earlier promises. As recently as last month, the company explicitly said it had not changed its plans to ship all three new hardware products "in the first half of the year," even though that its …

Clocks come in many styles and sizes, with perhaps the most visually pleasing ones involving marbles. Watching these little spheres obey gravity and form clearly readable numbers on a clock has strong mesmerizing qualities. If you’re not into really big marble clocks, or cannot quite find the space for a desk-sized clock, then the tiny marble clock by [Jens] may be an option.
While he totally loved the massive marble clock that [Ivan Miranda] built, it is a massive contraption that’s hard to justify as a permanent installation. His take on the concept thus makes it as small as possible, by using a pick-and-place style arm to place the marbles instead. Although the marbles don’t do a lot of rolling this...

Grammarly's "expert review" feature offers to give users writing advice "inspired by" subject matter experts, including recently deceased professors, as Wired reported on Wednesday. When I tried the feature out myself, I found some experts that came as a surprise for a different reason - one of them was my boss. The AI-generated feedback included comments that appeared to be from The Verge's editor-in-chief, Nilay Patel, as well as editor-at-large David Pierce and senior editors Sean Hollister and Tom Warren, none of whom gave Grammarly permission to include them in the "expert reviews." The feature, which launched in August, claims to h …

Don’t buy one unless you can see the “EX” label on the card and package. | Image: Cameron Faulkner / The Verge Unlike the original Switch, the Nintendo Switch 2 requires microSD Express cards for storing and playing games. While physically identical to microSD cards (aside from a small, easy-to-miss “EX” emblem etched onto the front of the card, as highlighted in the main image above), microSD Express cards are significantly faster. They advertise a 4.4x increase in transfer speeds over regular microSD cards. That speed boost is necessary for loading Switch 2 games that have more detailed textures and larger worlds than those that are possible on the original Switch. You may not need to buy one...

The former Secretary of D.H.S. faced criticism for misspending funds, prioritizing her own self-promotion, and reflexively defending even the most brutal acts of the Trump Administration’s deportation efforts.

The US Customs and Border Protection says it currently can't comply with an order to process billions of dollars in refunds stemming from tariffs imposed by President Donald Trump. In a filing on Friday, CBP executive director Brandon Lord says the agency's digital import processing system is "not well suited to a task of this scale," as reported earlier by CNBC. The CBP's admission comes after the Supreme Court struck down the tariffs imposed by Trump under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) last month. This week, the International Trade Court ruled that importers impacted by the tariffs are entitled to refunds with i …

“The doctor kept hearing the same story from his patients. After taking GLP-1 weight-loss drugs and finally shedding those excess pounds, some had gone a bit rogue. They began spacing out the shots instead of injecting themselves every week. And it seemed to be working, said Dr. Mitch Biermann, an obesity and internal medicine specialist at Scripps Clinic in San Diego. ‘By the time the third person told me they were taking it every second or third week and still maintaining their weight, I started recommending it to other patients,’ he said. Dr. Biermann also conceived a study to test the strategy. Now the results of that research are in: After 36 weeks of follow-up, most of the patients who spaced out...

“Weight loss drugs could help people avoid getting addicted to alcohol, tobacco and drugs such as cannabis and cocaine, a study has found. They could also reduce the risk of people already addicted to illicit substances having an overdose, ending up in hospital or dying, according to research published in the British Medical Journal. Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists used to treat type 2 diabetes and obesity, such as Mounjaro and Ozempic, are thought to work by influencing the brain’s reward pathways in order to cut cravings. They help people feel fuller by mimicking the natural substance released after eating. The US study analysed 606,434 US veterans with type 2 diabetes, who were monitored for...

“A new study across 38 countries found that among adults aged 20-45 who work from home at least one day per week, actual births since 2023 and planned family size are higher. This implies that an increase in remote work would boost fertility much more effectively than expensive pronatalist policies.” From Project Syndicate.

Le 9e congrès du Parti des travailleurs de Corée (PTC) qui s’est tenu à Pyongyang du 19 au 26 février - le troisième depuis l’arrivée au pouvoir de Kim Jong Un en décembre 2011 - a mis en scène de façon grandiose, digne des grandes heures de l’Union soviétique, la toute-puissance du grand leader, doté de la bombe nucléaire, plus que jamais en confiance depuis son alliance stratégique avec la Russie en 2024 et sa proximité avec la Chine.

La guerre livrée depuis le 28 février par les Etats-Unis et Israël contre l’Iran laisse, une fois de plus, la Chine en simple spectateur et représente pour elle un revers économique et géopolitique potentiel. Mais elle pourrait par contraste en retirer un gain conséquent en Asie si les Etats-Unis devaient se retrouver enlisés pour une longue période sur un théâtre iranien très risqué.
