Départ pour l’Italie, alors que débutent les Jeux olympiques d’hiver 2026 de Milan-Cortina, avec le récit du quotidien “Domani”, qui démêle l’histoire du “tramezzino”, petit sandwich au pain de mie, rectangulaire à Turin mais triangulaire à Venise. Pour la garniture, il existe une myriade de combinaisons.
Face à l’angoisse de la mort et à l’étrange impression d’un présent figé, Marian Donner raconte dans “De Groene Amsterdammer” qu’elle cherche comment habiter le temps. Chaque semaine, “Courrier international” vous propose un billet qui soulève des interrogations sur notre condition moderne.
Qualifié pour concourir dans quatre disciplines, le skieur suisse de 28 ans est l’un des favoris des Jeux olympiques de Milan-Cortina, où il vise au moins une médaille d’or en descente. En amont de la compétition, la presse helvète dresse le portrait d’un athlète à qui tout semble réussir, que ce soit sur le plan sportif ou financier.
Pour l’Arabie saoudite comme pour les Émirats arabes unis, cette zone géographique à cheval entre la Corne de l’Afrique et la péninsule arabique est un espace crucial d’investissements économiques et politiques. Pour la déclinaison anglophone de la chaîne panarabe Al-Jazeera, le chercheur et journaliste somalien Abdi Aynte démêle un épais écheveau d’intérêts stratégiques sur la mer Rouge.
Après avoir dénoncé dans un premier temps l’« indignation artificielle » des médias, l’administration présidentielle a finalement attribué le post sur le compte Truth Social du président à une erreur d’un membre de son équipe, et l’a supprimé.
Before the Internet, there was a certain value to knowing how to find out about things. Reference librarians could help you locate specialized data like the Thomas Register, the EE and IC Masters for electronics, or even an encyclopedia or CRC handbook. But if you wanted up-to-date info on any country of the world, you’d often turn to the CIA. The originally classified document was what the CIA knew about every country in the world. Well, at least what they’d admit to knowing, anyway. But now, the Factbook is gone.
The publication started in 1962 as the classified “The National Basic Intelligence Factbook,” it went public in 1971 and became “The World Factbook” in the 1980s. While it is gone, you...

[Jer Schmidt] needed a way to put a lot of M8 bolts into a piece of square steel tubing, but just drilling and tapping threads into the thin steel wouldn’t be strong enough. So he figured out a way to reliably weld nuts to the inside of the tube, and his technique works even if the tube is long and the inside isn’t accessible.
Two smaller holes on either side. Weld through the holes. A little grinding results in a smooth top surface.
Essentially, one drills a hole for the bolt, plus two smaller holes on either side. Then one welds the nut to the tubing through those small holes, in a sort of plug weld. A little grinding is all it takes to smooth out the surface, and one is left with a strong threaded hole...

Digital photo frames like the Aura Aspen are down to some of their best prices. Valentine’s Day is coming up fast, and if you haven’t started shopping yet, there are a lot of great gifts on sale that should still arrive in time if you order soon. Several Verge-approved gadgets are seeing some of their best discounts since the holidays, with options we think will appeal to a wide range of interests, from thoughtful picks like digital photo frames to e-readers, smart speakers, smartwatches, massagers, and even practical stuff like vacuums. While some are bigger-ticket items, quite a few cost under $100, so there’s something here for a range of budgets, too. Below, we’ve rounded up the best Valentine’s...

CarPlay users could soon be able to use their chatbot of choice instead of Siri. As Bloomberg reports, Apple is working to add support for CarPlay voice control apps from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and others. Previously, users who wanted to access third-party chatbots in the car would need to go through their iPhone, but soon they may be able to talk with ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini directly in CarPlay. However, Apple reportedly "won't let users replace the Siri button on CarPlay or the wake word that summons the service." So, users will need to manually open their preferred chatbot's app. Developers will be able to set their apps to autom …

This is the final(ish) design of the T1 Phone, though it’s going to lose the T1 logo. | Screenshot: Dominic Preston / The Verge Where's the Trump phone? We're going to keep talking about it every week. We've reached out, as usual, to ask about the Trump phone's whereabouts. This time, surprisingly, we received a response - and an interview.
The Trump phone is real - maybe, sort of, soon? - and I've seen it. Not in the flesh, but during an hourlong video call with two Trump Mobile executives who showed me a phone, and told me more about why it was delayed, when it might actually reach buyers, and why its spec sheet has changed again and again.

Simulator-style video games are designed to scale in complexity, allowing players to engage at anything from a casual level to highly detailed, realistic simulation. Microsoft Flight Simulator, for example, can be played with a keyboard and mouse, a controller, or a huge, expensive simulator designed to replicate a specific airplane in every detail. Driving simulators are similar, and [CNCDan] has been hard at work on his DIY immersive driving sim rig, with this hand brake as his latest addition.
For this build, [CNCDan] is going with a lever-style handbrake which is common in motorsports like drifting and rallying. He has already built a set of custom pedals, so this design borrows heavily from them. That...

Fidget toys are everywhere these days. A particularly popular type simply puts some keyboard switches on a plate to provide a certain type of clicky satisfaction. [wjddnjsdnd] took that concept a step further, building a keychain-sized fidget toy that actually has games on it.
The build is based around six key switches in a 2 x 3 array. The key switches are notable in this case for being magnetic shaft keys. Rather than using a mechanical switch to indicate a keypress, the keycap instead merely moves a magnet which triggers a signal in a hall effect sensor beneath the key. In this case, the build uses A3144 hall effect sensors, which are read by the Arduino Nano running the show. The Nano is also hooked up to...

300 journalists have lost their jobs at The Washington Post. Over 300,000 readers have canceled their subscriptions. Owner Jeff Bezos, who purchased the legendary publication in 2013, has driven his reputation into the ground by using his vast empire to churn out content designed to make President Donald Trump happy: Amazon MGM Studios spent $40 million to produce a fawning documentary about Melania Trump, which premiered days before the Post sent out mass layoff notices. And yet, he's gotten nothing out of his attempts to suck up to Donald Trump - at least, nothing that's a net positive to his bottom line. Which begs the cynical question: …

“Argentina and the United States agreed Thursday to ease restrictions on each other’s goods in an expansive trade deal that boosts a drive by President Javier Milei to open up Argentina’s protectionist economy… After imposing sweeping tariffs on its trading partners, the Trump administration changed its tune last November in announcing framework deals with four Latin American countries, including Argentina. The White House argued that the reduction of tariffs on Argentine beef and Ecuadorian bananas, among other imports, would improve the ability of American firms to sell products abroad and relieve rising prices for American consumers. The announcement also came as Trump’s steep tariffs drew...

Fortnite developer Epic Games says the account some people believed to be linked to Jeffrey Epstein is a "ruse." In a reply on X, the developer writes, "an existing Fortnite account owner changed their username" to "littlestjeff1," an alias spotted in several emailed receipts from YouTube in the Epstein files.
The email suggests that "littlestjeff1" may have been connected to Epstein's YouTube account, prompting online sleuths to search for the username on other platforms. Users later uncovered a "littlestjeff1" account on Fortnite, along with a 2019 email that mentions purchasing VBucks in Fortnite - though the sender and recipient are red …

“Archaeologists have now found traces of a plant-based poison on several 60,000-year-old quartz Stone Age arrowheads found in South Africa, according to a new paper published in the journal Science Advances. That would make this the oldest direct evidence of using poisons on projectiles—a cognitively complex hunting strategy—and pushes the timeline for using poison arrows back into the Pleistocene.” From Ars Technica.

“The Don River in Toronto was once so polluted with waste, garbage and chemicals that it caught on fire. The water itself, which flows towards Lake Ontario, was so inhospitable that it hosted life’s very antithesis. Now, after huge efforts to renaturalize the area, researchers are seeing a rebirth. The river has gone from being pronounced dead in 1969 to a place that is attracting fish and other aquatic species. This month, Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) shared its findings from the Don River in 2025, which include more than 20 fish species documented in its waters. For the first time since 2012, an Atlantic Salmon was found in the area, along with the first-ever Emerald Bowfin — a...

Memorials “Cut Glass Hammer”
Memorials is a duo fronted by Verity Susman, who was a central player in Electrelane back in the 2000s. Memorials has a different dynamic than Electrelane – more streamlined arrangements, a little jazzier in a David Axelrod way here and there – but there’s a lot of overlap in aesthetic, to the point that this could just be labeled new Electrelane material and no one would blink. Susman’s prim vocal tone and dry affect is unmistakable, and the post-Stereolab droning vintage organ/high momentum groove combo on “Cut Glass Hammer” has always been in her wheelhouse. Susman and drummer Matthew Simms aren’t breaking new ground here, but they’re expert craftspeople when...

VirtualBox, le bon vieux logiciel de virtualisation d'Oracle, vient de franchir un cap plutôt inattendu. Le code de développement supporte désormais KVM comme backend sur Linux ! En gros, au lieu de s'appuyer uniquement sur son propre module noyau (qui, soyons honnêtes, a toujours été un poil galère à maintenir), l'outil de virtualisation peut maintenant utiliser l'hyperviseur natif de Linux.
Et c'est pas rien quand on sait que le logiciel d'Oracle et KVM se marchaient dessus depuis des années. C'était impossible de faire tourner les deux en même temps... Du coup, plutôt que de continuer à se battre, Oracle a décidé de faire copain-copain avec KVM. C'est pas bête !
