La présidente du Mexique, Claudia Sheinbaum, a cédé aux pressions du président des États-Unis en gelant les envois de pétrole à Cuba, mais elle les a troqués contre des navires remplis de denrées alimentaires et de produits de première nécessité.

Antenna design is often referred to as a black art or witchcraft, even by those experienced in the space. To that end, [Janne] wondered—could years of honed skill be replaced by bruteforcing the problem with the aid of some GPUs? Iterative experiments ensued.
[Janne]’s experience in antenna design was virtually non-existent prior to starting, having a VNA on hand but no other knowledge of the craft. Formerly, this was worked around by simply copying vendor reference designs when putting antennas on PCBs. However, knowing that sometimes a need for something specific arises, they wanted a tool that could help in these regards.
The root of the project came from a research paper using an FDTD tool running on...

Meta has struck a multiyear deal to expand its data centers with millions of Nvidia's Grace and Vera CPUs and Blackwell and Rubin GPUs. While Meta has long been using Nvidia's hardware for its AI products, this deal "represents the first large-scale Nvidia Grace-only deployment," which Nvidia says will deliver "significant performance-per-watt improvements in [Meta's] data centers." The deal also includes plans to add Nvidia's next-generation Vera CPUs to Meta's data centers in 2027. Meta is also working on its own in-house chips for running AI models, but according to the Financial Times, it has run into "technical challenges and rollout …

Cathode ray tubes (CRTs) are a fascinating display technology that has been largely abandoned outside of retro gaming and a few other niche uses. They use magnets to steer a beam of electrons rapidly across a screen, and while a marvel of engineering for their time, their expense, complexity, and weight all led to them being largely replaced by other displays like LCDs and LEDs. They were also difficult to miniaturize, but there were a few companies who tried. [dooglehead] located a few of the smallest CRT displays he could find and got to work putting them in the most unlikely of situations: a virtual reality headset.
The two displays for his headset come from Sony Watchmans, compact over-the-air...

During his opening monologue on Monday night, Colbert says the network's lawyers told him in "no uncertain terms" that he couldn't have Talarico on the show, forcing him to post the interview on YouTube instead, hours after news broke that Anderson Cooper is leaving his position at the network as a 60 Minutes correspondent.

Apple currently sells MacBooks equipped with its own M-series processors in a wide range of sizes and price points, all of which run the company’s newest operating system, macOS 26. Purchasing a new MacBook can be complicated if you’re trying to figure out what specs you need, but finding a deal on a relatively speedy model is surprisingly easy, especially since Apple increased the starting RAM on several models in late 2024 and hasn’t stopped. These days, it’s not uncommon to see various MacBooks discounted by up to $800, although the quality of deals fluctuates frequently. Alternatively, purchasing refurbished options directly from Apple is another way to save money without waiting for the changing...

If you’re looking for a great pair of noise-canceling headphones, Sony’s WH-1000XM6 are amongst the best available and are now down to $368 ($92 off) at Amazon in black or gray.  While their high price usually makes them harder for us to suggest over the last-gen model, which is often on sale for around $278.99, today’s deal makes the XM5 much easier to recommend. Just note the deal is expected to end around 10:50PM ET.

VPNs have long been a thorn in the side of LaLiga, as they are used to circumvent the ISP blocking measures it has spent years securing in local courts. To address this problem, the Spanish football league has recently gone to court to target the VPNs themselves.
Today, the Commercial Court No. 1 of Córdoba granted LaLiga and its broadcasting partner Telefónica Audiovisual Digital (TAD) an emergency injunction, targeting NordVPN and ProtonVPN. The VPN companies must block IP addresses linked to illegal streaming of LaLiga matches, making these inaccessible from Spain. The orders offer no immediate appeal option, according to El Economista, and there is one significant caveat. Neither VPN company was present...

If you’re looking to jack up your car and you don’t have anything on hand, your 3D printer might not be the first tool you look towards. With that said, [Alan Reiner] had great success with a simple idea to create a surprisingly capable scissor jack with a multi-material print.
The design will look familiar if you’ve ever pulled the standard jack out of the back of your car. However, this one isn’t made fully out of steel. It relies on an M6 bolt and a rivet nut, but everything else is pure plastic. In this scissor jack design, rigid PETG arms are held in a scissor jack shape with a flexible TPU outer layer. Combined with the screw mechanism, it’s capable of delivering up to 400 pounds of force...

An orrery is a beautiful type of mechanical contrivance, built to demonstrate the motion of heavenly objects. LEGO happens to offer just such a device, built using its Technic line of blocks, shafts, and gears. Only, it has a serious limitation—it has to be cranked manually to make it spin the Earth around the sun. [Görkem] set out to fix this glaring oversight with some good old-fashioned hardware.
The setup removes just five LEGO pieces from the original design, eliminating the hand crank from the mechanism. In its place, [Görkem] installed a NEMA 17 stepper motor, paired with a custom PCB mounted on the back. That carries an ESP32 microcontroller and a TMC2208 stepper motor driver set up for silent...

The ancient question of whether or not it’s possible to construct a circle with the same area as a given square using only a drawing compass and straightedge was finally answered in 1882, where it was proved that pi is a transcendental number, meaning it cannot be accurately represented in a compass-and-straightedge system. This inability to accurately represent pi is just one of the ways in which these systems resemble a computer, a similarity that [0x0mer] explored in CasNum.
The core of the program represents operations with a drawing compass and unmarked straightedge. There are only a few operations that can be used for calculation: constructing a line through two points, constructing a circle centered...

HDFull is a pirate streaming portal that has served Spanish-speaking audiences for years, offering a massive library of movies and TV shows. Despite being the target of court-ordered ISP blocks in Spain going back to 2018, the site has proven remarkably resilient, hopping from domain to domain to stay accessible.
The site also maintained an active Discord community, “HDFull Oficial,” with roughly 33,000 members. However, while the main site remained operating, the Discord server abruptly disappeared last week.
On February 11, HDFull’s official X account posted a message informing users that there was an ‘issue’ with the original Discord community, directing them to a newly created replacement...

Vous avez déjà remarqué comment le volume varie d'une vidéo à l'autre sur YouTube, ou pire, comment certaines pubs sont 10 fois plus fortes que le contenu ? Bah c'est parce que tout le monde n'utilise pas la même norme de volume. Et si vous produisez du contenu audio/vidéo, c'est le genre de détail qui fait la différence entre un truc amateur et un rendu pro.
La bonne nouvelle, c'est que FFmpeg intègre déjà un filtre qui s'appelle loudnorm et qui gère tout ça automatiquement. La norme utilisée, c'est le LUFS (Loudness Units Full Scale), qui est devenue le standard de l'industrie, et YouTube, Spotify, les TV... tout le monde utilise ça maintenant pour mesurer et normaliser le volume...

L’adaptation de ce jeu pour les appareils Apple est franchement réussie, elle est bien meilleure que la version Switch par Aspyr (ce qui est savoureux, quand on connaît le passif d’Aspyr avec les jeux Mac). Je ne vais pas faire un test, et j’ai parlé du jeu sur iGen récemment, mais comme j’aime bien les manettes, j’ai quand même fait un truc sur le sujet. Le jeu, vendu 15 €, propose une interface tactile assez propre… mais ça reste une interface tactile.
