La photographe iranienne Yalda Moaiery est parvenue à transmettre ses clichés de la contestation du 8 janvier et des funérailles d’un homme tué par le régime. Pour « M », elle a choisi de signer ces images.

“Homicides have fallen to their lowest level for nearly 50 years across England and Wales, official statistics show. There were 499 victims of murder, manslaughter and infanticide in the year to September, according to crime statistics published by the Office for National Statistics (ONS). It is the lowest number since 1977 and a 7% fall on the previous year, largely due to a drop in the number of people killed by knives – 174, down 23%. Crimes with weapons also continued a downward trend. Knife crime offences were down by 9% to 50,430 and firearms offences fell by 9% to just under 5,000, their lowest since 2003.” From BBC.

“Deforestation in Colombia appears to have declined in 2025, with notable reductions in several departments that have historically struggled with forest loss. An estimated 36,280 hectares (89,650 acres) of forest were lost during the first three quarters of the year, a 25% drop from the 48,500 hectares (about 119,850 acres) recorded over the same period in 2024, according to the Institute of Hydrology, Meteorology and Environmental Studies (IDEAM), a government agency.” From Mongabay.

“Homelessness appears to have fallen in the last year of the Biden administration, according to local counts reported to the federal government but not yet released under President Trump, an analysis of the local data shows. A large sample of the counts, taken in January 2025 and compiled by The New York Times, suggests the homeless population shrank by tens of thousands of people nationwide from the record level set the previous year, though the number remained high by historical norms. The tally includes jurisdictions that typically contain about two-thirds of homeless people, making it a meaningful if inexact preview of the national count, which the government has normally published by now.” From New...

There are bold-faced tech names all over the Epstein files. Elon Musk, Bill Gates, Sergey Brin, Eric Schmidt, Larry Page, Reid Hoffman, Steven Sinofsky, Peter Thiel, Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg, on and on and on. These men (and they're pretty much all men) had wildly varying degrees of interaction with Epstein, and the details matter a great deal. But so does the totality of it: you spend long enough in these files, and you start to get a sense of the way the world works for a particular kind of extremely rich and extremely powerful businessman. And it starts to feel pretty bad. Verge subscribers, don't forget you get exclusive access to …

“At the turn of the century, Bogotá was one of Latin America’s most polluted cities, with concentrations of harmful particulates at seven times the World Health Organization’s limits. In the last decade the city of 8 million has started to turn that around, cutting air pollution by 24% between 2018 and 2024. Part of the shift has been the city’s embrace of the bicycle and other forms of clean transport. There are now 350 miles of cycle lanes snaking across the city, the largest cycle lane network in Latin America. Bogotá has also quietly rolled out 1,400 electric buses, one of the world’s largest sustainable bus fleets, and there are three new cable car lines (two under construction) to take people...

“Waymo, the self-driving taxi company owned by Google’s parent company, Alphabet, said on Monday that it had raised $16 billion to fuel its plans for global expansion. The company’s latest funding round values it at about $126 billion, according to the announcement. The round was led by Dragoneer Investment Group, DST Global and Sequoia Capital in addition to Alphabet. The infusion of money could put Waymo further ahead in the growing field of robot taxi companies, such as Amazon’s Zoox and Elon Musk’s fledgling Tesla robot taxi service. Ride-hailing services such as Lyft and Uber have also struck partnerships with autonomous vehicle companies, including Waymo, to offer driverless rides. Waymo said...

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 !
L'idée vient à l'origine...

Selon le journal « Kommersant », le directeur adjoint des services de renseignement militaire russe a été admis dans un service de réanimation.

Is the long freeze on Chinese automakers selling cars in the US finally starting to thaw? China is the largest auto market in the world and now the largest car exporter, too. But high tariffs and geopolitical tensions have kept Chinese automakers away from US customers. Many of those cars are ready for primetime and are fully competitive with current offerings in the United States.

The boys’ club | Image: Cath Virginia / The Verge, Getty Images He might be dead, but it sure seems like Jeffrey Epstein won. Sure, Epstein was arrested on charges of sex trafficking minors. Sure, he died in jail. (I am not going to wade into the debate about how.) But he subscribed to a racist, misogynist ideology that meant rich white men like him could do whatever they liked. And it seems he took measures to spread it.
The latest tranche of Epstein documents made it obvious. Consider all the "contrarians" and "anti-woke" warriors who show up in the latest dump: Peter Thiel, Elon Musk, Larry Summers, Steve Bannon, and of course, Donald Trump. With apologies to George Carlin: It's a big club, and the...

A privacy-minded bundle that’s almost too simple.

A federal jury in Phoenix has found Uber to be liable for the sexual assault of one of its passengers, potentially setting a precedent for more than 3,000 similar cases consolidated in US federal court. As part of the verdict, Uber has been ordered to pay $8.5 million in damages to the victim, Jaylynn Dean, who said she was raped by her Uber driver during a ride to her hotel in November 2023.
The ridehailing giant has long argued that it cannot be held responsible for the criminal actions of drivers on its platform, having faced years of scrutiny for numerous passenger safety concerns. "Today's verdict validates the thousands of survivors …

Much like how BusyBox crams many standard Unix commands and a shell into a single executable, so too does BreezyBox provide a similar experience for the ESP32 platform. A demo implementation is also provided, which uses the ESP32-S3 platform as part of the Waveshare 7″ display development board.
Although it invokes the BusyBox name, it’s not meant to be as stand-alone as it uses the standard features provided by the FreeRTOS-based ESP-IDF SDK. In addition to the features provided by ESP-IDF it adds things like a basic virtual terminal, current working directory (CWD) tracking and a gaggle of Unix-style commands, as well as an app installer.
The existing ELF binary loader for the ESP32 is used to run...

Anna’s Archive has faced a barrage of domain takedowns in recent weeks, after Spotify and several major record labels filed a high-profile lawsuit. The music industry giants filed the case after the shadow library planned to release hundreds of terabytes of scraped Spotify data, including full tracks. While Anna’s Archive has since taken its initial Spotify metadata release offline, the legal pressure hasn’t been lifted. On the contrary, the preliminary injunction issued by the New York court, targeting domain registries, registrars, and other intermediaries, has proven to be quite effective. The .org domain was the first to fall, followed by the .se and .in variants. However, not all intermediaries were...

Have you ever dreamed of making a bash script that assembles Intel 8080 machine code? [Chris Smith] did exactly that when he created xa.sh, a cross-assembler written entirely in Bourne shell script.
Assembly language (like the above) goes in, a binary comes out.
The script exists in part as a celebration of the power inherent in a standard Unix shell with quite ordinary POSIX-compliant command line tools like awk, sed, and printf. But [Chris] admits that mostly he found the whole project amusing.
It’s designed in a way that adding support for 6502 and 6809 machine code would be easy, assuming 8080 support isn’t already funny enough on its own.
It’s not particularly efficient and it’s got some quirks,...

Avec macOS 26.1, Apple a ajouté une option un peu cachée dans le Finder : la possibilité de redimensionner automatiquement la largeur des colonnes par rapport aux noms des fichiers. Sur le papier, c’est plutôt une bonne idée. En pratique, il y a quelques limites quand même. Premièrement, l’option. Elle est dans Présentation -> Afficher les options de présentation (et pas dans les Réglages, donc). Il faut cocher Adapter les colonnes aux noms de fichiers. L’option (en bas)

Dans toute démocratie, l'audiovisuel public représente un enjeu essentiel. Supposé être financé par l'État, totalement indépendant et neutre quant à sa ligne éditoriale, il est parfois le reflet d'une démocratie en danger. Le 21 janvier 2026, le Parlement européen a débattu d'une résolution concernant la tentative de prise de contrôle du groupe audiovisuel public en Lituanie et la menace qui pèse sur la démocratie dans le pays. Le Seimas, le parlement lituanien, a en effet proposé une loi qui facilite la révocation du directeur général de LRT et réduit les garanties d'indépendance du conseil de direction. Cela représente un réel danger pour l'indépendance de l'audiovisuel public....

The Commodore Amiga was famous for its characteristic Say voice, with its robotic enunciation being somewhat emblematic of the 16-bit era. The Commodore VIC-20 had no such capability out of the box, but [Mike] was able to get one talking with a little bit of work.
The project centers around the Adventureland cartridge, created by Scott Adams (but not the one you’re thinking of). It was a simple game that was able to deliver speech with the aid of the Votrax Type and Talk speech synthesizer box. Those aren’t exactly easy to come by, so [Mike] set about creating a modern equivalent. The concept was simple enough. An Arduino would be used to act as a go between the VIC-20’s slow serial port operating at...
