« Quant à la suite des opérations, nous avons un plan méthodique, avec de nombreuses surprises, pour éradiquer le régime et permettre le changement. Nous avons bien d’autres objectifs, que je ne détaillerai pas ici », a déclaré le premier ministre israélien samedi, dans une courte allocution diffusée à la télévision, faisant le bilan de l’opération lancée le 28 février avec son allié américain contre la République islamique.

A commercial Delrama prism-based anamorphic lens for large cameras. (Source: Mathieu Stern, YouTube)
Although to the average person a camera lens is just that bit of glass you stick on the front of the camera to make stuff appear in focus, there’s a whole wide world out there of lens designs and modifications with enough variety to make your head spin. Some of these designs make a big impact, while others fade away again, sometimes at the whims of film makers and photographers. Prism-based anamorphic lenses are an oddity that recently [Mathieu Stern] got his hands on. (Video, embedded below.)
During the 1950s and 1960s there was a bit of a competition between anamorphic formats, which use special lenses that...

Instant photography is a miracle of the analog age, chemical photographs that develop in your hands moments after the shutter has been pressed. You can buy instant cameras and film from Fuji and the successor company to Polaroid, the originator of the technology, but they’re expensive. Fortunately [BoxArt] is here for those seeking a cheaper alternative, with an instant camera featuring a Raspberry Pi and a printer (Lithuanian language, Google Translate link).
It’s a fairly straightforward arrangement, with the Pi Zero and camera driving a receipt printer. There’s a nicely engineered 3D printed case, and the guts of a power bank to provide the volts for the thing. There are a set of status lights on top,...

A site called PSprices has been tracking prices on Sony's digital game store and noticed something unusual: some games were being offered at different prices to different users. What's more, those offers are tracked in the PlayStation API with experiment identifiers like IPT_PILOT and IPT_OPR_TESTING.
Dynamic pricing is nothing new and is used across a number of industries. But it's often met with backlash and isn't typically found in online game stores. According to PSprices, Sony is running A/B testing on prices for over 150 games in 68 regions, though the US doesn't currently appear to be part of the experiment. For now, at least, Sony i …

Une semaine exactement après le début de la guerre, la journée du samedi 7 mars a été marquée par une litanie des bombardements : israéliens sur l’Iran au matin, puis en provenance d’Iran sur les pays du Golfe un peu plus tard. L’opération israélienne au Liban semble se poursuivre, tandis que le “Washington Post” révèle l’existence d’un rapport émettant des doutes sur la possibilité d’un changement de régime à Téhéran, envisagé par Washington.

This has been a week to remember here at The Verge. MWC 2026 in Barcelona lead straight into Apple’s week of product announcements. There was truly something for everyone, whether you’ve been wanting a company to make a phone that can start fires, or had your fingers crossed for a brand-new MacBook model that costs just $599.99. It was also a great week for gaming, with the launch of Slay the Spire 2 on Steam as an early access game, plus Pokémon Pokopia on Nintendo Switch 2, and Marathon on PC and PS5. It was also a pretty good week when it comes to deals, especially if you’re in the market for new hardware. You can nab a free gift card with a preorder of early 2026’s most anticipated tech launching...

Walmart bought Vizio in 2024, and now it's taking the next steps to formally fold the TV maker into itself by phasing out Vizio accounts. Now, when you purchase a new Vizio TV, you'll be asked to sign in or create a Walmart account. Customers will have the option to merge their Vizio account, if they have one, with their Walmart account. Your only other option will be to simply delete it.
According to an email sent by Vizio, customers who choose to delete their account will have 30 days to request a copy of any data related to the account, after which it "may no longer be available." The email also said that while the option to merge accoun …

We were talking about [Maya Posch]’s rant on smartphones, “The Curse of the Everything Device”. Maya’s main point is that because the smartphone, or computer, can do everything, it’s hard for a person to focus down and do one thing without getting distracted, checking their whatever feed, or getting an important push notification about the Oscars. She was suggesting tying your hands to the mast by using a device that can only accommodate the one function, like a dedicated writing tool or word processor.
[Kristina Panos] compared the all-singing, all-dancing black rectangle to an everything-device of old: the all-in-one stereo receiver with built-in tape player, record player, and not just FM, but...

There are a lot of games that try to emulate The Legend of Zelda, but few that manage to capture that spirit in such a small, concise package as Ratcheteer DX. The postapocalyptic game only takes a few hours to complete, but over that span it nails the classic Zelda vibe almost perfectly, offering a real sense of adventure along with the satisfaction of figuring things out on your own.
The game is set in a bleak future when most of humanity is hibernating beneath the Earth's surface in order to wait out an ice age. To keep things going, mechanics are awakened every so often to perform maintenance on all of the machinery that keeps everyone …

Depending who you ask, 3D pens are silly toys or handy tools. Those who use them as tools find them handy to fill gaps in printed assemblies or to use them as a PLA or PETG-based hot glue gun for their prints. [half-baked-research] on YouTube is in the second category, but knows that welding is better than gluing — so he built himself a 3D pen designed for plastic welding.
You can weld with a regular 3D pen, and [half-baked] demonstrates that in the video. But thanks to the low-conductivity tips on commercial pens, it’s a slow, fiddly business. By using a normal 3D printer hot-end, with its conductive brass nozzle, [half-baked] is able to get a lot more heat where it’s needed. That means the plastic on...

Les bandes de papier perforé, ça vous parle ? C'est les trucs qui sortaient des mainframes dans les années 60...

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...

“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...
