This is just one of 29 different Aurora Lux designs. | Photo by Kelsey McClellan / The Verge Dreame, a Chinese manufacturer best known for its robot vacuums but with ambitions to do much more, says it's making smartphones now. I'm not sure I believe it.
The company showed off two phones at its own Next event, which took place in California this week, though both had previously been revealed in China in March. Neither phone has actually launched though - in China, the US, or elsewhere - and the company has revealed only a handful of specs about either.
Aurora Nex LS1 is the more interesting of the two, but also the less plausible. It's a modular smartphone with a magnetic attachment point where the rear camera...

“Once-weekly semaglutide versus placebo in patients with alcohol use disorder and comorbid obesity: a randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial (Lancet) Strongly significant reductions in drinking across measures.

“Just a few years ago, people would be hard-pressed to find mussels around the Lynnhaven River. But James said officials have recently seen an ‘explosion’ of the muddy mollusks. And they’re growing seemingly without help from humans… The mussels popping up in the river are not the same kind that diners encounter at a restaurant, which are typically smooth, blue mussels that live on rocks or pilings. The Chesapeake Bay’s aptly named ribbed mussel, on the other hand, has a ribbed shell and prefers to attach to the roots of marsh grass and burrow in the mud. That makes them great at stabilizing marshes to prevent erosion, which is particularly important in the face of rising sea levels… Like...

“Pakistan’s Punjab provincial assembly this week passed a new law banning marriage under the age of 18 for both boys and girls, introducing tougher penalties for child marriage, child trafficking and abuse linked to underage unions. The Punjab Child Marriage Restraint Bill 2026 replaces older legislation dating back to 1929 and makes child marriage-related offenses cognizable, non-bailable and non-compoundable. Pakistan has one of the highest rates of child marriage in South Asia, particularly in rural and low-income communities, with rights organizations warning that early marriage exposes girls to higher risks of domestic violence, school dropouts, early pregnancies and long-term health complications....

“The international committee responsible for the official scenarios that feed into climate modeling that are the basis for most projective climate research and the assessments of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has just published the next generation of climate scenarios. Big news: The new framework has eliminated the most extreme scenarios that have dominated climate research over much of the past several decades — specifically, RCP8.5, SSP5-8.5, and SSP3-7.0. This is an absolutely huge development in climate science which will have lasting impacts across research and policy. The future is not what it used to be.” From The Honest Broker.

“Coral reefs on a chain of islands off Western Australia were almost untouched by a prolonged heatwave that devastated corals in other regions in early 2025… To try to determine just how heat-tolerant the coral at the Houtman Abrolhos Islands actually are, the scientists brought colonies from several species back to the lab and subjected them to prolonged high temperatures. At 8 °C-weeks, compared with currently accepted thresholds, survival rates at the Houtman Abrolhos islands were twice as high and bleaching resistance was nearly four times higher. There was still nearly 100 per cent survival at around 16 °C-weeks. The next step for the researchers is to work out exactly how the corals are achieving...

The unions backing professional NBA, NFL, MLB, NHL, and MLS players are calling on the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) to ban prediction market platforms from allowing users to bet on a player's underperformance or injury, Sports Business Journal reports. In their letter, the unions cite the need for "appropriate regulations" to protect athletes and their families from "abusive and harassing behavior."
The unions wrote the letter in response to the CFTC's request for comment on the regulation of prediction markets, such as those operated by Kalshi and Polymarket. In addition to asking for a ban on "under" bets, the unions also w …

Nearly every Linux distribution released since 2017 is currently vulnerable to a security bug called "Copy Fail" that allows any user to give themselves administrator privileges. The exploit, publicly disclosed as CVE-2026-31431 on Wednesday, uses a Python script that works across all of the vulnerable Linux distributions, requiring "no per-distro offsets, no version checks, no recompilation," according to Theori, the security firm that uncovered it. Ars Technica points out this blog post where DevOps engineer Jorijn Schrijvershof explains that what makes Copy Fail "unusually nasty" is the likelihood for it to go unnoticed by monitoring t …

They stuck with off-the-shelf materials to design a 650-square-foot unit that’s now part of the city’s model plan library.In the summer of 2023, Logan Havens and Gustavo Silva restored a historic adobe in Tucson’s Barrio Kroeger Lane neighborhood. They learned by doing, developing an understanding of the structure and its materials, and how to update the modest home to meet their needs. But before the couple even finished the remodel, they were already plotting their next project. When the City of Tucson introduced a competition for an ADU model plan library, Gustavo, a designer, and Logan, a photographer, developed a design that adapts the adobe vernacular of the Sonoran Desert. Then, at the rear of...

This week, Hackaday’s Elliot Williams and Kristina Panos met up over the international tubes to bring you the latest news, mystery sound results show, and of course, a big bunch of hacks from the previous seven days or so.
Regarding Hackaday Europe, we announced the last round of speakers and opened up the workshop ticket sales. In other news, the Green-Powered Challenge has wrapped, and judging will begin quite soon.
On What’s That Sound, we can score another one for Kristina, which brings her record to approximately four wins and sixty-eight losses. She knew without a doubt that this was a guillotine paper cutter, probably because she recorded the sound herself. Hey, don’t take this away from...

Alors qu’il est pourtant lui-même le fils de l’ancien dictateur, le président Ferdinand Marcos Jr. soutient un texte de loi qui pourrait entraver l’établissement de dynasties familiales en politique. Mais ce projet se heurte à une société dans laquelle les pratiques clientélistes sont enracinées, relève “Nikkei Asia”.

Phones can be distracting objects if you’re not an enlightened master of the mental arts. Even just reading an email or glancing at your calendar can get you caught up checking other apps and notifications and waste your time. [Paul Lagier] built a device to eliminate this problem by showing him critical information right on his desk.
The device is based around an off-the-shelf Waveshare ESP32 board which packs in a small 8×8 RGB LED matrix on one side. It’s a neat way to get an LED project up and running quickly, but [Paul] noted that it didn’t look that great out of the box. He had to experiment with some different solutions for diffusing the light, eventually wrapping the board in a 3D printed...

La guerre en Iran constitue une rupture dans les conflits contemporains, avec une transformation radicale des stratégies militaires, analyse “Le Soleil”. Pour le titre sénégalais, cette guerre prouve que la puissance ne se mesure plus seulement aux armes déployées, mais également à la capacité de bloquer l’adversaire et de lui infliger des paralysies énergétiques intenables.

Le conflit au Moyen-Orient et la crise énergétique qui en découle jettent une lumière crue sur la grande dépendance de l’Inde aux hydrocarbures en provenance du Golfe, estime “Business Today”, qui affirme que le pays doit désormais redoubler d’efforts pour exploiter ses propres ressources pétrolières et gazières.

Pour Baba Saïdou, journaliste malien collaborant notamment avec le site panafricain “Tama Média”, l’aspect le plus surprenant des attaques menées les 25 et 26 avril par les djihadistes du Groupe de soutien à l’islam aux musulmans (JNIM) et les séparatistes touaregs du FLA a été leur capacité à toucher la junte en profondeur. Ce qui met aussi en lumière “les limites du soutien russe” au Mali.

Making headlines everywhere is the CopyFail Linux kernel vulnerability, which allows local privilege escalation (LPE) from any user to root privileges on most kernels and distributions.
Local privileges escalations are never good, but typically are not “Internet-melters”: they are significantly less dangerous than remote vulnerabilities, but are often combined with a remote vulnerability to gain complete access to a system.
This time, the vulnerability is in the Linux kernel handling of cryptographic functions used in IPSec. The mistake allows writing into the in-memory cache of file data; this allows modifying what the system thinks a file contains, without ever touching the contents of the actual...

Le succès du biopic musical consacré à Michael Jackson semble confirmer une réalité frappante : les questions d’objectivité, d’intégrité et de véracité des faits importent peu au public, pour qui, d’après le quotidien britannique “The Guardian”, il est normal qu’une pop star soigne sa propre image et la monétise sans scrupule.

Links between piracy and organized crime have been around for several decades. The framing first emerged in the late 1990s, when the IFPI raised concerns about transborder smuggling of pirated CDs by criminal networks. Back then, most piracy took place offline. A terrorism angle was added to the mix in 2003, when the U.S. House held a hearing on piracy’s “links to organized crime and terrorism.” Four months later, Interpol Secretary General Ronald Noble told Congress that intellectual property crime had become “the preferred method of funding for a number of terrorist groups.”
In December that year, the messaging made it into a new campaign by the UK anti-piracy group FACT, warning moviegoers that...

Since Sony’s PlayStation 5 console is quite literally an AMD-based gaming PC with a custom mainboard, the only thing that really keeps anyone from just installing another operating system on it is the hypervisor-based firmware. Since in older firmware for the original ‘phat’ PlayStation 5 there exists a hypervisor exploit, this logically means that you can totally run Linux on them, as demonstrated by [Andy Nguyen] with the PS5-linux project on GitHub.
PS5 firmware version 5.x from 2022 seems to have at least partially addressed this particular vulnerability, so this leaves firmware versions 3.x and 4.x supported by PS5-linux for now. Firmware versions 1.x and 2.x also have this vulnerability, but [Andy]...

Le 7 mai, des élections régionales et locales pourraient être marquées par une défaite du Parti travailliste. La formation du premier ministre, Keir Starmer, pourrait en particulier être devancée au Pays de Galles, où elle domine depuis un siècle. Les indépendantistes de Plaid Cymru et l’extrême droite de Reform UK espèrent tirer parti de ce recul.

Fin de partie pour la riposte graduée. Le Conseil d'État a déclaré illégale, le 30 avril 2026, la phase la plus dure du dispositif anti-piratage Arcom, héritier de la Hadopi.
La décision s'applique immédiatement et décapite le système après 17 ans de chasse aux téléchargeurs sur les réseaux peer-to-peer. La Quadrature du Net, qui pilote le contentieux depuis 2019, a publié dans la foulée un bilan intitulé "Hadopi (2009-2026)".
Concrètement, deux failles ont été retenues. La juridiction a constaté que le décret de 2010 n'oblige nulle part les opérateurs à stocker les adresses IP dans "un compartiment totalement isolé", comme l'avait pourtant exigé la Cour de justice de l'Union...

Here at Hackaday we cover the world of retrocomputing, which means that we see all manner of older computers in our everyday work. We might even claim that we’ve seen them all, were it not that every now and then something comes along which surprises us. [Tynemouth Software] has done just that, with an unexpected Commodore. It’s a Commodore 4064, something that was new to us, but which is best described as a Commodore 64 in a PET case. He’s bringing this one back to life.
For those with weak early-Commodore-fu, maybe it’s worth a quick recap. The PET was Commodore’s big hit from the late 1970s, and it took the form of an all-in-one machine with a CRT display built in. They packed a 6502, BASIC,...

Il y a une douzaine d’année, en 2014, SteelSeries lançait la première manette compatible MFi sans fil, pour les iPhone sous iOS 7. J’en ai récupéré une dans une armoire de MacG, juste pour le test rétro. La manette est un modèle compact, Bluetooth, qui valait 70 €. Elle existait en noir (celle testée) et en blanc.

La manette est très compacte, sans être inutilisable (ce qui est souvent le problème). On a une croix directionnelle de bonne taille, mais des boutons compacts et des sticks analogiques très petits, dans un agencement PlayStation. Les gâchettes ne sont pas réellement analogiques (on va le voit plus bas) et ont une course assez faible. On...

A compter du 1ᵉʳ mai 2026, les outre-mer peuvent recourir à ce traité pour faire valoir leurs droits économiques et sociaux. Une évolution historique pour les associations ultramarines qui portaient le sujet depuis plusieurs années.

Le 21 avril 2026, l'assemblée plénière de la Cour de justice de l'Union européenne (CJUE) se prononce dans le cadre d'un recours en manquement dirigé contre la Hongrie. Est en cause la loi modificative n° LXXIX de 2021, présentée comme introduisant “des mesures plus sévères à l'encontre des délinquants pédophiles et modifiant certaines lois en vue de protéger les enfants”. Si son intitulé suggère un objectif légitime, le dispositif révèle une portée contestée. Sous couvert de la protection des mineurs, cette loi porte en effet atteinte à plusieurs droits garantis par la Charte des droits fondamentaux de l'Union européenne et méconnaît les valeurs consacrées à l'article 2 du...
