Une loi votée en 2024 obligeait ByteDance, la maison mère de l’application d’origine chinoise, à renoncer à sa filiale américaine. Les trois principaux actionnaires seront l’entreprise de data Oracle, le fonds de capital-risque californien Silver Lake, et la société d’investissement d’Abou Dhabi MGX.

An entity has been created and a deadline has been avoided, as the TikTok deal drags on.

Just over a year after it briefly disappeared from app stores, TikTok in the US is now part of a new entity, TikTok USDS Joint Venture LLC. With approval from both the US and China closing on the schedule laid out in December, ByteDance's ownership of the new joint venture is now only 19.9 percent to satisfy the terms of the divest-or-ban law signed in 2024 by President Biden. The other 80.1 percent is owned by investment firm Silver Lake, Oracle, and Abu Dhabi investment firm MGX - the three "managing investors" that now hold 15 percent stakes - and several other smaller investors, like Michael Dell's family investment firm.

Ring has launched a new Ring Verify tool that the company says can "verify that Ring videos you receive haven't been edited or changed." But since Ring won't verify videos that have been altered in any way, it probably won't be able to verify those videos you see on TikTok that look like they're from security camera footage but are actually made with AI. @verge Baby, that's a fake baby.

In what world does Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time Remake get canceled amid corporate restructuring and yet BG&E2 does not? "Beyond Good & Evil 2 remains a priority for us in the context of our strategy centered around Open World Adventures," an unnamed Ubisoft spokesperson told Kotaku and Insider Gaming.
The original Beyond Good & Evil is a fantastic game I can enjoy even now, over 20 years on from its 2003 release. The sequel has been in development hell nearly as long at over 17 years, the longest of any major game; it's survived the retirement of its first creative director, the death of its second creative director, and that on …

How many polite ways are there to ask whether the President of the United States is losing it?

Le premier ministre groenlandais a déploré ne pas savoir ce que contenait « l’accord concernant [son] pays ». Les Européens ont tenu un sommet d’urgence, dans la nuit de jeudi à vendredi, et les réactions diplomatiques se succèdent.

From Black vampires gobbling up Oscar nominations to gay pro hockey players dominating the culture, diverse stories broke through in an environment that’s increasingly hostile to them.

De son côté, le président ukrainien, Volodymyr Zelensky, a dit avoir conclu un accord avec Donald Trump sur les garanties de sécurité pour l’Ukraine, après une brève rencontre à Davos entre les deux dirigeants. Mais la question des territoires de l’Est n’est « pas encore résolue », a-t-il ajouté.

It’s possible to improve your 3D prints in all kinds of ways. You can tune your printer’s motion, buy better filament, or tinker endlessly with any number of slicer settings. Or, as [Dirt-E-Bikes] explains, you could grab yourself some silica gel.
If you’re unfamiliar with silica gel, it’s that stuff that comes in the “DO NOT EAT” packet when you buy a new pair of shoes. It’s key feature is that it’s hygroscopic—which means it likes to suck up moisture from the atmosphere. When it comes to 3D printing, this is a highly useful property—specifically because it can help keep filament dry. Over time, plastic filament tends to pick up some moisture on its own from the atmosphere, and this tends...

Samsung’s aptly titled Frame TV is designed to blend in with the rest of your home decor. Unless you’re dead set on picking up a larger panel, Samsung’s forthcoming 2026 Frame lineup represents a fairly minor upgrade. That makes last year’s model an easy rec for those on the hunt for an art-inspired 4K TV, especially given the 43- and 50-inch models are down to the lowest prices we’ve seen at Woot, selling for $597.99 ($302 off) and $697.99 ($402 off), respectively, through January 31st.

Le Groenland est sans doute le dernier test existentiel de l’OTAN
1. Pourquoi l’Europe n’est plus un simple « théâtre »
Pendant toute la Guerre froide, l’Europe a été :
• un espace de projection de la puissance américaine,
• un objet de protection plus qu’un sujet stratégique,
• un terrain où se jouaient des équilibres décidés ailleurs.
Cette situation correspondait parfaitement à la logique de OTAN : sécurité garantie, autonomie limitée. Le Groenland révèle que ce cadre est désormais caduc.

Nintendo’s Talking Flower interactive toy will launch in March. | Image: Nintendo After sharing a brief look at its new Talking Flower during a Nintendo Direct showcase last September that generated more questions than answers, Nintendo has finally revealed more details about what the interactive toy actually does and how much it costs. It shares some functionality with Nintendo's Alarmo alarm clock, but the Talking Flower seems more like a talkative companion for fans of Super Mario Bros. Wonder.
First and foremost, as the name implies, the Talking Flower will just randomly speak a couple of times every hour when left alone, with phrases like "sometimes it's nice to space out," and "is it weird for...

“The Mexican government on Friday said that for the first time in history, more Mexicans are categorized as middle class than as living in poverty. Jesús Ramírez, director of President Claudia Sheinbaum’s Council of Advisers, also said that based on World Bank data the Mexican middle class grew by more than 12 percentage points between 2018 and 2024. ‘These figures coincide with [our own] data indicating a reduction in poverty,’ Ramírez said, referencing the August national statistics agency [INEGI] report that poverty was reduced from 41.9% of the population in 2018 to 29.6% by last year. The August INEGI report found that the number of Mexicans living in poverty declined from 51.9 million in 2018...

“A new map has unmasked the landscape beneath Antarctica’s ice in unprecedented detail, something scientists say could greatly enhance our understanding of the frozen white continent. Researchers used satellite data and the physics of how Antarctica’s glaciers move to work out what the continent might look like beneath the ice. They found evidence of thousands of previously undiscovered hills and ridges, and say their maps of some of Antarctica’s hidden mountain ranges are clearer than ever before. While the maps are subject to uncertainties, the researchers believe the new details could shed light on how Antarctica will respond to climate change – and what that means for sea-level rise.” From...

[Clough42] created a 3D print for a lathe tool and designed in some support to hold the piece on the bed while printing. It worked, but removing the support left unsightly blemishes on the part. A commenter mentioned that the support doesn’t have to exactly touch the part to support it. You can see the results of trying that method in the video below.
In this case [Cloug42] uses Fusion, but the idea would be the same regardless of how you design your parts. Originally, the support piece was built as a single piece along with the target object. However, he changed it to make the object separate from the support structure. That’s only the first step, though. If you import both pieces and print, the result...

Sleep apnea is a debilitating disease that many sufferers don’t even realize they have. Those afflicted with the condition will regularly stop breathing during sleep as the muscles in their throat relax, sometimes hundreds of times a night. Breathing eventually resumes when the individual’s oxygen supply gets critically low, and the body semi-wakes to restore proper respiration. The disruption to sleep causes serious fatigue and a wide range of other deleterious health effects.
Treatment for sleep apnea has traditionally involved pressurized respiration aids, mechanical devices, or invasive surgeries. However, researchers are now attempting to develop a new drug combination that could solve the problem...

Plus de 170 personnes qui assistaient à des offices dominicaux le 18 janvier ont été enlevées par des groupes armés dans l’État de Kaduna, dans le nord-ouest du Nigeria.

[Kevin] admits that FreeCAD may not be the ideal tool for editing STL files. But it is possible, and he shares some practical advice in the video below. If you want to get the most out of your 3D printer, it pays to be able to create new parts, and FreeCAD is a fine option for that. However, sometimes you download an STL from the Internet, and it just isn’t quite what you need.
Unlike native CAD formats, STLs are meshes of triangles, so you get very large numbers of items, which can be unwieldy. The first trick is to get the object exactly centered. That’s easy if you know how, but not easy if you are just eyeballing it.
If you use the correct workbench, FreeCAD can analyze and fix mesh problems like...
