No one's mental health improves when they are told constantly that they are about to lose their job.

The late acting legend’s spotlight on Rod Serling’s sci-fi series came soon after his breakout role in ‘To Kill a Mockingbird.’

The Late Show host Stephen Colbert says CBS blocked him from broadcasting an interview with James Talarico, a Democratic representative from Texas. During his opening monologue on Monday night, Colbert says the network's lawyers told him in "no uncertain terms" that he couldn't have Talarico on the show, forcing him to post the interview on YouTube instead, hours after news broke that Anderson Cooper is leaving his position at the network as a 60 Minutes correspondent.
"He [Talarico] was supposed to be here, but we were told in no uncertain terms by our network's lawyers, who called us directly, that we could not have him on the broadcast," …

Apple currently sells MacBooks equipped with its own M-series processors in a wide range of sizes and price points, all of which run the company’s newest operating system, macOS 26. Purchasing a new MacBook can be complicated if you’re trying to figure out what specs you need, but finding a deal on a relatively speedy model is surprisingly easy, especially since Apple increased the starting RAM on several models in late 2024 and hasn’t stopped. These days, it’s not uncommon to see various MacBooks discounted by up to $800, although the quality of deals fluctuates frequently. Alternatively, purchasing refurbished options directly from Apple is another way to save money without waiting for the changing...

Google says it will now display links more prominently inside its AI-powered features in Search. Robby Stein, the vice president of Google Search, announced on Tuesday that a list of links will now appear inside a pop-up when you hover over the sources in AI Overviews and AI Mode on desktop, alongside a description of each linked article and accompanying images. Stein adds that Google will also show these "more descriptive and prominent link icons" in its AI responses on desktop and mobile. "Our testing shows this new UI is more engaging, making it easier to get to great content across the web," Stein writes. While AI Overviews appear as …

If you’re looking for a great pair of noise-canceling headphones, Sony’s WH-1000XM6 are amongst the best available and are now down to $368 ($92 off) at Amazon in black or gray.  While their high price usually makes them harder for us to suggest over the last-gen model, which is often on sale for around $278.99, today’s deal makes the XM5 much easier to recommend. Just note the deal is expected to end around 10:50PM ET.

Metroid Prime 4: Beyond launched on the Nintendo Switch and Switch 2 in December, but if you’re itching for some more lore, Metroid Prime 1–3: A Visual Retrospective is a nice way to dig in, especially now that it’s on sale. Normally $49.99, you can currently buy the hardcover version for $41.08 (about $9 off) at Amazon and Walmart, which is one of the first discounts we’ve seen on the tabletop book.

VPNs have long been a thorn in the side of LaLiga, as they are used to circumvent the ISP blocking measures it has spent years securing in local courts. To address this problem, the Spanish football league has recently gone to court to target the VPNs themselves.
Today, the Commercial Court No. 1 of Córdoba granted LaLiga and its broadcasting partner Telefónica Audiovisual Digital (TAD) an emergency injunction, targeting NordVPN and ProtonVPN. The VPN companies must block IP addresses linked to illegal streaming of LaLiga matches, making these inaccessible from Spain. The orders offer no immediate appeal option, according to El Economista, and there is one significant caveat. Neither VPN company was present...

If you’re looking to jack up your car and you don’t have anything on hand, your 3D printer might not be the first tool you look towards. With that said, [Alan Reiner] had great success with a simple idea to create a surprisingly capable scissor jack with a multi-material print.
The design will look familiar if you’ve ever pulled the standard jack out of the back of your car. However, this one isn’t made fully out of steel. It relies on an M6 bolt and a rivet nut, but everything else is pure plastic. In this scissor jack design, rigid PETG arms are held in a scissor jack shape with a flexible TPU outer layer. Combined with the screw mechanism, it’s capable of delivering up to 400 pounds of force...

An orrery is a beautiful type of mechanical contrivance, built to demonstrate the motion of heavenly objects. LEGO happens to offer just such a device, built using its Technic line of blocks, shafts, and gears. Only, it has a serious limitation—it has to be cranked manually to make it spin the Earth around the sun. [Görkem] set out to fix this glaring oversight with some good old-fashioned hardware.
The setup removes just five LEGO pieces from the original design, eliminating the hand crank from the mechanism. In its place, [Görkem] installed a NEMA 17 stepper motor, paired with a custom PCB mounted on the back. That carries an ESP32 microcontroller and a TMC2208 stepper motor driver set up for silent...

D’après les e-mails dévoilés par la justice américaine, Caroline Lang a sollicité de l’argent de l’homme d’affaires pour le compte de son père dès la fin 2012, année où ils se seraient liés d’amitié. Deux virements de 50 000 euros chacun devaient transiter par le biais de l’Association des cultures du monde, créée par Jack Lang en 1993.

Les groupes djihadistes ont trouvé en Afrique un vaste terrain d’expansion. Parmi eux, l’organisation terroriste État islamique, qui n’a cessé de croître avec l’allégeance de groupes armés locaux. Désormais reste l’hypothèse d’une coordination accrue entre ces différents groupes radicaux.

Le premier ministre a de nouveau interpellé La France insoumise à l’annonce de ces arrestations, lui demandant de « faire le ménage » dans ses rangs. Jean-Luc Mélenchon a dénoncé toute violence « qui comporte le risque d’infliger la mort », lors d’une conférence, mardi soir.

L’Américain était entré de son vivant dans la légende du cinéma. Décédé le 16 février 2026, à 96 ans, Frederick Wiseman excellait à observer la vie et le labeur des gens ordinaires, pour composer des fresques sociales d’une intense subtilité, rappelle “The New York Times”. Il nous laisse 44 documentaires qui sont autant de bijoux.

La France se plaint en permanence d’étouffer sous les normes, réclamant en permanence des simplifications, sans jamais y arriver. Cela vient de trois facteurs, le manque de confiance, la faiblesse de la société civile et le recours quasi fétichiste à la loi, comme unique outil de régulation. Un exemple concret, et tellement caractéristique, permet de […]

Le jour de la sortie mondiale de “Et la joie de vivre”, de Gisèle Pelicot, la presse internationale revient sur l’affaire des viols de Mazan qui a fait de la Française une figure de la lutte contre les violences faites aux femmes.

Selon “Outlook Traveller” et “The Economic Times”, le Luxembourg, l’Australie, l’Allemagne et la France attirent différemment les expatriés et les étudiants indiens, entre confort quotidien et perspectives de carrière.

The ancient question of whether or not it’s possible to construct a circle with the same area as a given square using only a drawing compass and straightedge was finally answered in 1882, where it was proved that pi is a transcendental number, meaning it cannot be accurately represented in a compass-and-straightedge system. This inability to accurately represent pi is just one of the ways in which these systems resemble a computer, a similarity that [0x0mer] explored in CasNum.
The core of the program represents operations with a drawing compass and unmarked straightedge. There are only a few operations that can be used for calculation: constructing a line through two points, constructing a circle centered...

Imagine a line of affordable toys controlled by the player’s brainwaves. By interpreting biosignals picked up by the dry electroencephalogram (EEG) electrodes in an included headset, the game could infer the wearer’s level of concentration, through which it would be possible to move physical objects or interact with virtual characters. You might naturally assume such devices would be on the cutting-edge of modern technology, perhaps even a spin-off from one of the startups currently investigating brain-computer interfaces (BCIs).
But the toys in question weren’t the talk of 2025’s Consumer Electronics Show, nor 2024, or even 2020. In actual fact, the earliest model is now nearly as old as the original...

HDFull is a pirate streaming portal that has served Spanish-speaking audiences for years, offering a massive library of movies and TV shows. Despite being the target of court-ordered ISP blocks in Spain going back to 2018, the site has proven remarkably resilient, hopping from domain to domain to stay accessible.
The site also maintained an active Discord community, “HDFull Oficial,” with roughly 33,000 members. However, while the main site remained operating, the Discord server abruptly disappeared last week.
On February 11, HDFull’s official X account posted a message informing users that there was an ‘issue’ with the original Discord community, directing them to a newly created replacement...

Apple AirTags have speakers in them, and the speaker is not entirely under the owner’s control. [Shahram] shows how the speaker of an AirTag can be disabled while keeping the device watertight. Because AirTags are not intended to be opened or tampered with, doing so boils down to making a hole in just the right place, as the video demonstrates.
By making a hole in just the right place, the speaker can be disabled while leaving water resistance intact.
How does putting a hole in the enclosure not compromise water resistance? By ensuring the hole is made in an area that is already “inside” the seal. In an AirTag, that seal is integrated into the battery compartment.
Behind the battery, the enclosure has a...

Vous avez déjà remarqué comment le volume varie d'une vidéo à l'autre sur YouTube, ou pire, comment certaines pubs sont 10 fois plus fortes que le contenu ? Bah c'est parce que tout le monde n'utilise pas la même norme de volume. Et si vous produisez du contenu audio/vidéo, c'est le genre de détail qui fait la différence entre un truc amateur et un rendu pro.
La bonne nouvelle, c'est que FFmpeg intègre déjà un filtre qui s'appelle loudnorm et qui gère tout ça automatiquement. La norme utilisée, c'est le LUFS (Loudness Units Full Scale), qui est devenue le standard de l'industrie, et YouTube, Spotify, les TV... tout le monde utilise ça maintenant pour mesurer et normaliser le volume...

Tomb Raider (2013) vient de ressortir sur iPhone et iPad, grâce à Feral. L’adaptation de ce jeu pour les appareils Apple est franchement réussie, elle est bien meilleure que la version Switch par Aspyr (ce qui est savoureux, quand on connaît le passif d’Aspyr avec les jeux Mac). Je ne vais pas faire un test, et j’ai parlé du jeu sur iGen récemment, mais comme j’aime bien les manettes, j’ai quand même fait un truc sur le sujet. Le jeu, vendu 15 €, propose une interface tactile assez propre… mais ça reste une interface tactile. Les boutons virtuels, même s’ils sont adaptés aux écrans et ont été modifiés pour les QTE et autres trucs un peu particuliers du jeu, cachent une partie de...

Jamais auparavant les métaux critiques n'ont autant façonné les rapports de force internationaux. Lithium, titane, terres rares, cobalt. Ces ressources invisibles au quotidien sont devenues le cœur de la transition énergétique et numérique. En effet, elles déterminent le rythme industriel, pèsent sur la compétitivité technologique et redessinent la souveraineté politique des Etats. Or dans ce nouvel âge géo-économique, l'Europe découvre la fragilité de son modèle. Dépendante d'un petit nombre de fournisseurs, elle tente désormais d'élargir son accès aux ressources.
