Virtualiser macOS sur un Mac, tout le monde ou presque sait le faire. Même chose avec Linux... Mais iOS c'est un peu le Graal... Le truc interdit !
Sauf que des chercheurs en sécu viennent de tomber sur VPHONE600AP, un composant planqué dans le firmware Private Cloud Compute d'Apple qui permet de faire tourner iOS 26 en VM sur un simple Mac tout simplement via le Virtualization.framework. En gros, Apple a laissé traîner la clé sous le paillasson...
Pour ceux qui débarquent, Private Cloud Compute (PCC) c'est l'infrastructure serveur qu'Apple utilise pour faire tourner Apple Intelligence et bizarrement, le firmware de ces serveurs, qu'Apple appelle cloudOS, contient un composant qui n'a rien à faire là...

Cette année, Apple n’a pas proposé des AirTags avec un signe du zodiaque chinois au Japon, comme durant les années précédentes. En 2025, on avait eu un AirTag et des AirPods 4 avec le même emoji, pour l’année du serpent. En 2026, on a eu des AirPods Pro 3 pour l’année du cheval mais un AirTag décoré d’un Daruma au Japon. Ce n’est pas un AirTag 2 (c’est sorti un peu avant), mais bien la première génération. Le Daruma, au Japon, est un signe de prospérité en forme de moine bouddhiste. Comme chaque année, l’emoji est une édition spéciale qui n’existe pas dans iOS et donc le panneau de détection ne le montre pas. Pour le reste, il est livré avec un carton qui comporte un code QR...

Sri Lanka's navy says around 140 people are feared missing after a military vessel went down off its southern coast.

Le robot chien Unitree Go2, c'est celui qu'on a vu
se faire pirater via Bluetooth
en décembre dernier. Hé bien rebelote puisque 2 nouvelles CVE viennent de tomber, et c'est encore plus lourd. Hé oui c'est à base de root shell, de persistance après reboot... et tout ça sans aucune authentification sur le protocole réseau.
La première faille (
CVE-2026-27509
) est la plus vicieuse puisque le Go2 utilise DDS (Data Distribution Service), un protocole publish-subscribe qu'on retrouve partout dans l'
industrie de la robotique
. Ça tourne avec CycloneDDS, sauf que Unitree l'a déployé SANS la moindre authentification. Du coup, n'importe qui sur le même réseau peut envoyer des messages au robot, et un...

Every year, the Office of the United States Trade Representative (USTR) publishes a list of ‘notorious markets’ that facilitate online piracy and related intellectual property crimes. Drawing on input from copyright holders, the report includes a non-exclusive overview of sites and services that are believed to be involved in piracy or counterfeiting.
For more than a decade we have covered the online section of the report. Traditionally, that includes prominent torrent sites, download portals, cyberlockers, and streaming services that offer copyrighted content without obtaining permission from rightsholders. In recent years, the scope of the report has broadened significantly. For example, we have seen...

Le 19 février 2026 s'est tenue la première réunion du Conseil de la Paix, ou Board of Peace, de Donald Trump à Washington D.C. Cette nouvelle initiative diplomatique de la part du président américain soulève des interrogations quant à son rôle en lien avec les institutions multilatérales préexistantes, d'autant plus dans un contexte géopolitique marqué par des tensions croissantes. L'Unité diplomatique de l'Union européenne est ainsi mise à l'épreuve : les États membres parviennent difficilement à apporter une seule réponse face à ce nouveau cadre diplomatique.

Guitar pedals are designed to take in a sound signal, do fun stuff to it, and then spit it out to your amplifier where it hopefully impresses other people. However, [Liam Taylor] decided to see what would happen if you fed video through a guitar pedal instead. 
The device under test is a Boss ME-50 multi-effects unit. It’s capable of serving up a wide range of effects, from delay to chorus to reverb, along with compression and distortion and a smattering of others. [Liam] hooked up the composite video output from an old Sony camcorder from the 2000s to a 3.5 mm audio jack, and plugged it straight into the auxiliary input of the ME-50 (notably, not the main guitar input of the device).
The multi-effects...

Alors que la guerre lancée par les États-Unis et Israël continue de s’étendre au Moyen-Orient et au-delà, le gouvernement américain a assuré mercredi être “en position de force” et a annoncé une “accélération” des bombardements pour infliger à l’Iran “mort et destruction du matin au soir”. Le Sénat américain a quant à lui refusé de limiter les pouvoirs de Donald Trump dans la gestion du conflit.

Depuis les bombardements israélo-américains sur l’Iran, le 28 février, la République islamique a lancé une vaste riposte contre de très nombreuses cibles partout dans le golfe Persique et jusqu’en Méditerranée. Les vidéos filmées sur place et les images satellites permettent de mesurer le nombre et l’étendue de ces frappes.

Selon l’agence de presse iranienne Tasnim, « les défenses ont été activées » dans la capitale iranienne. Par ailleurs, des frappes iraniennes sur Israël, dans la nuit, n’ont pas fait de victime.

L’aviation de l’Etat hébreu maîtrise le ciel de la capitale iranienne et multiplie les frappes contre des institutions politiques et l’appareil répressif du régime, en vue de provoquer son écroulement.

A deux semaines du scrutin, le bureau national du Parti socialiste, à la suite du mouvement de Raphaël Glucksmann, a pris ses distances avec La France insoumise. Rappelant qu’il n’y aura aucun accord national au second tour, il laisse le champ libre aux accords locaux.

The most bizarre story in the history of tech policy refuses to end.

« Avec les mensurations des dents, ça peut être que Curtis », a déclaré le prévenu, mercredi, confronté aux expertises du dossier. Il mettait jusque-là en cause les chiens de la chasse à courre organisée à proximité du lieu où le corps de la jeune femme avait été retrouvé.

La guerre en Iran “nous met face à nos contradictions”, écrit le rédacteur en chef du journal libanais “L’Orient-Le Jour”. Car si elle nous fait basculer dans un monde où le plus fort peut tout se permettre, elle reste la moins mauvaise des options face au régime sanguinaire des mollahs.

L’élargissement du parapluie nucléaire français est considéré comme une bonne nouvelle en Allemagne, où l’on n’est plus tout à fait sûr de pouvoir compter sur celui des États-Unis. Mais cela ne résout pas complètement les problèmes de défense de la République fédérale, estime la “Süddeutsche Zeitung”. L’arsenal français est plus limité que celui des Américains. Et surtout, il reste uniquement contrôlé par l’Élysée.

It is also the first time the target has been lowered since it was cut to "around 5%" in 2023.

If you were to read the README of the Vib-OS project on GitHub, you’d see it advertised as a Unix-like OS that was written from scratch, runs on ARM64 and x86_64, and comes with a full GUI, networking and even full Doom game support. Unfortunately, what you are seeing there isn’t the beginnings of a new promising OS that might go toe to toe with the likes of Linux or Haiku, but rather a vibe-coded confabulation. Trying to actually use the OS as [tirimid] recently did sends you down a vibe-coded rabbit hole of broken code, more bugs than you can shake a bug zapper at, and most of the promised features being completely absent.
[tirimid] is one of those people who have a bit of a problem, in that they like...

John Abbamondi had orders to let the CEO of Ticketmaster down easy.
In April 2021, Abbamondi was the CEO of BSE Global, the company that ran Brooklyn arena the Barclays Center. BSE Global's existing Ticketmaster contract would expire at the end of September, and Abbamondi and his team had evaluated proposals from SeatGeek, AXS, and Ticketmaster. The economics of Ticketmaster offer, according to Abbamondi, "was nowhere near as good as the other two." SeatGeek's technology was "superior" to Ticketmaster's on balance, on top of better financial terms including an equity stake in the company, the arena decided. It clinched their decision to go …

Is the U.S. repeating the mistakes of the invasion of Iraq?

A screenshot of the Call of Duty footage in the White House’s video. On Wednesday, the White House posted a video of actual military strikes on Iran in the style usually seen in Call of Duty highlight videos, and started the video with a clip from Call of Duty.

Maggie Gyllenhaal’s imaginative adaptation of the Frankenstein story, starring Jessie Buckley and Christian Bale, leaves its premise and its principles undeveloped.

Trump summoned tech leaders to the White House on Wednesday, March 4, 2026 to sign pledges committing their companies to foot the electricity bill for energy-hungry data centers.  | Photo: Getty Images Leaders from Google, Meta, Microsoft, Oracle, OpenAI, Amazon, and xAI met with President Donald Trump today to sign a "rate payer protection pledge." It's one way they're responding to growing bipartisan concerns about electricity rates rising as tech companies and the Trump administration rush to build out a new generation of AI data centers. "[Tech companies] need some PR help because people think that if a data center goes in, their electricity prices are going to go up," Trump said during the event. "Some...

A trade court has cleared the way for businesses to receive refunds for tariffs that the Supreme Court struck down last month.

Aikido Technologies has come up with a new way to bring renewable energy to the AI industry.

[Diffraction Limited] has been working on a largely 3D-printed micropositioner for some time now, and previously reached a resolution of about 50 nanometers. There was still room for improvement, though, and his latest iteration improves the linkage arms by embossing tiny ball joints into them.
The micro-manipulator, which we’ve covered before, uses three sets of parallel rod linkages to move a platform. Each end of each rod rotates on a ball joint. In the previous iteration, the parallel rods were made out of hollow brass tubing with internal chamfers on the ends. The small area of contact between the ball and socket created unnecessary friction, and being hollow made the rods less stiff. [Diffraction...

Epic CEO Tim Sweeney might be one of the most outspoken people in the history of the world. He fought two of the world's most valuable and powerful companies almost all the way to the US Supreme Court, insulting them again and again: "crooked," "deceitful," "insanely sneaky," calling Android a "fake open platform," calling both companies "gangster-style businesses that will do anything they think they can get away with," telling me how Google's Project Hug was "an astonishingly corrupt effort at a massive scale."
But Google has finally muzzled Tim Sweeney. It's right there in a binding term sheet for his settlement with Google. On March 3 …

Today, Google killed its 30 percent app store fee, partially uncoupled Google Play from Google Play Billing after they were declared an illegal monopoly in the US, and much more.
From July, depending on where you live, Google will now generally charge developers 20 percent for in-app purchases, or 10 percent for subscriptions - but it's also carving out several new categories of app which might pay differently. One of them is the mysterious new "metaverse browsers" category, whose details have been redacted. But Google is public that two other programs, Apps Experience and Games Level Up will let developers save up to 5 percent more of th …

While companies like Anthropic debate limits on military uses of AI, Smack Technologies is training models to plan battlefield operations.

Disposable vapes aren’t quite the problem/resource stream they once were, with many jurisdictions moving to ban the absurdly wasteful little devices, but there are still a lot of slightly-smelly lithium batteries in the wild.

Je crois que si j'ai UNE console de cœur, celle qui a bercé mon enfance et qui a aiguisé mon goût pour les jeux vidéo, c'est la Megadrive. Un des titres qui m'avait énormément marqué, qu'on avait eu en bundle avec la console, 2 manettes et Sonic, c'est Streets of Rage... Et bien sûr ces deux excellentes suites !
Le 4ème volet, sorti 26 ans après le 3ème, était incroyable lui aussi (je recommande chaudement), car il respectait à 100% la formule et le gameplay d'origine, tout en apportant plein de petits trucs et en modernisant l'aspect technique. Un pari un peu fou mais relevé avec brio.

John Carroll Kirby “Suntory”
“Suntory” is a challenging song to write about because while I think of some poetic ways to describe its beauty, all of them seem to cheapen the sublime loveliness of the piece. Does it sound like waking up to a perfect, luxurious morning? Do the piano chords and synth tones somehow feel exactly like gentle golden sunlight on your skin? Does it have the ultra-relaxed and informal feel of Sun Ra’s “Sleeping Beauty,” one of my favorite recordings of all time? Yes, definitely, but that’s rather banal compared to what the music actually feels like. There are some songs that are so fun to describe that the music sometimes can’t live up to the words, but this is very...
