Quatre jours après ses propos devant les maires où il avait affirmé qu’il fallait « accepter de perdre ses enfants » face à l’éventualité d’une guerre avec la Russie, le général Fabien Mandon a justifié ses propos samedi soir sur France 5. Emmanuel Macron lui a réitéré sa « confiance ».

Les américains Marco Rubio et Steve Witkoff doivent arriver dimanche en Suisse pour discuter du plan de Donald Trump avec les Ukrainiens, jugé favorable à la Russie. Une réunion des pays de la « coalition des volontaires » se tiendra mardi en visioconférence.

That MacOS (formerly OS X) has BSD roots is a well-known fact, with its predecessor NeXTSTEP and its XNU kernel derived from 4.3BSD. Subsequent releases of OS X/MacOS then proceeded to happily copy more bits from 4.4BSD, FreeBSD and other BSDs.
In that respect the thing that makes MacOS unique compared to other BSDs is its user interface, which is what the open source ravynOS seeks to address. By taking FreeBSD as its core, and crafting a MacOS-like UI on top, it intends to provide the MacOS UI experience without locking the user into the Apple ecosystem.
Although FreeBSD already has the ability to use the same desktop environments as Linux, there are quite a few people who prefer the Apple UX. As noted in the...

Black Friday isn’t here quite yet, but that hasn’t stopped Sony from kicking off an excellent holiday promo, which runs through December 18th. The ongoing sale spans everything from PlayStation 5 consoles to Sony’s latest accessories — including Sony’s standard DualSense Wireless Controller, which is now matching its all-time low of $54.99 ($20 off) in multiple colors at Amazon, Best Buy, and Target. Although the aforementioned deal price applies to Sony’s base models — including the go-to black and white variants — you can also pick up limited edition models inspired by Astro Bot (Walmart / Best Buy), God of War (Amazon / Walmart), and Ghost of Yōtei (Walmart / Best Buy) for around $64 (also...

In August, Apple Music launched a tool for importing playlists from other streaming services. The bruhahah over Daniel Ek’s war profiteering was in full swing, and artists were starting to flee. The two things may have been unrelated, but the timing was certainly fortuitous. Now Spotify is launching its own playlist transfer tool, in hopes of winning over some defectors from other platforms. The feature isn’t something brand-new, built from the ground up. Instead, it’s a direct integration with TuneMyMusic, which lets you shuttle playlists between services like Tidal, YouTube Music, Qobuz, Beatport, and even Napster. Of course, TuneMyMusic is just one of several services that offer the same ability,...

It's a little over a month since I was prescribed medicinal cannabis and have been taking half to a full gummy each evening (aside from not wanting to risk being impaired during the day, higher levels of daily use are associated with lower levels of pain relief).
For my prescriptions to continue, I need to (virtually) attend a check up appointment in order to discuss whether it's proving effective (as well as ensure that there haven't been any issues etc).
Conveniently (unfortunately?), I have just had a demonstration of efficacy.
Last week, I attended a work on-site in Playa Del Carmen, Cancun. Unfortunately, I was unable to carry medicinal cannabis into the country (I asked the Mexican embassy in advance and...

Black Friday is the most anticipated day of the year for bargain hunters. While there’s still some time to go before November 28th, we’ve already found a healthy selection of early discounts, allowing you to get a jump on your holiday shopping. Right now, for instance, the new AirPods Pro 3 are receiving their first sizable discount. Meanwhile, Google’s Pixel Watch 4 — the Android watch to beat — is on sale for the first time. However, that’s just a taste of what’s to come in November. As the month goes on, we’re expecting to see even more deals — including sizable drops on robovacs, TVs, and headphones. In fact, retailers like Amazon, Walmart, Best Buy, and Target have already kicked off...

Depuis qu’il est arrivé, enfant, aux États-Unis, ce journaliste n’a cessé de s’étonner de l’étrange et coûteux rituel consistant chaque automne à éliminer les feuilles mortes, au râteau ou au souffleur, cet appareil si bruyant dans les rues américaines. Dans les colonnes du “Wall Street Journal”, il invite à changer de regard et à laisser faire la nature.

Connues depuis trente ans en Bosnie-Herzégovine, les accusations contre de riches Occidentaux qui auraient payé les forces des Serbes de Bosnie pour tirer pour le plaisir sur les civils de Sarajevo, lors du siège de la ville dans les années 1990, ressurgissent avec une plainte déposée devant la justice italienne. Un journaliste croate accuse l’actuel chef de l’État serbe d’en avoir fait partie.

One of our newer writers, [Tyler August], recently wrote a love letter to plasma TV technology. Sitting between the ubiquitous LCD and the vanishing CRT, the plasma TV had its moment in the sun, but never became quite as popular as either of the other display techs, for all sorts of reasons. By all means, go read his article if you’re interested in the details. I’ll freely admit that it had me thinking that I needed a plasma TV.
I don’t, of course. But why do I, and probably a bunch of you out there, like old and/or odd tech? Take [Tyler]’s plasma fetish, for instance, or many people’s love for VFD or nixie tube displays. At Supercon, a number of people had hit up Apex Electronics, a local surplus...

The Xreal One look a bit like the glasses you get from the optician after having your pupils dilated. But they’re not as bulky or heavy as a VR headset. I’ll admit it, I thought AR glasses like the Xreal One were a joke when I first heard about them. But they clicked for me as a gamer when I realized they could be plugged into a Steam Deck or an iPad to have my own huge, private display no matter where I am. If you want to be fully immersed in your games and movies (without wearing a bulky VR headset), there are some great AR glasses on sale for their lowest prices ever for Black Friday. The Xreal One glasses are packed with features and cost $399.99 at Amazon and Best Buy, which is $180 off the original...

It took me a long time to become even halfway decent at Forestrike. The martial arts action game, from Olija developer Skeleton Crew, has a unique twist in that it lets you see what will happen in most battles and then practice your strategy accordingly. It turns the act of combat into a type of puzzle game, but one that still requires fast reflexes and precision decision-making to be successful. And it has successfully turned me into a solid fighter - at least in the realm of a pixelated video game.

Aujourd’hui, je vous propose de relier deux phénomènes qui semblent n’avoir aucun rapport :
— d’un côté, Noam Chomsky fréquentant Jeffrey Epstein ;
— de l’autre, le Bitcoin qui fléchit dès que l’avenir politique de Donald Trump s’assombrit.
Pourquoi mêler ces deux étrangetés ?
Parce que je suis psychanalyste — et que mon métier consiste à repérer les liens que tout le monde refuse de voir.

We absolutely adore inspired labor-of-love tales such as this one. [Alastair] wanted to build a synth for his daughter’s third birthday in spite of having no prior hardware knowledge. It became the perfect excuse to learn about CAD, microcontrollers, PCB design, and of course, 3D printing.
So, why a synth for a toddler? Aside from plain old ‘why not?’, the story goes that she received a Montessori busy-type board which she seemed to enjoy, and it reminded [Alastair] of the control surface of a synth. He wondered how hard it could be to build something similar that made sound and didn’t require constant button presses.
[Alastair] began his journey by dusting off a 15-year-old Arduino Inventors Kit. The...

My work laptop is made by Framework and apparently has a fingerprint sensor built into the power button.
Once I found out, I wanted to set it up so that I had a more convenient means of authenticating when working on the go (it's a little less useful in my office as I tend to dock with the laptop lid closed).
PAM integration allows me to use the fingerprint reader to login to, and unlock my laptop. Technically it can also be used for SSH authentication, though I wouldn't normally have the necessary proximity to actually use it.
This post describes how to enable fingerprint authentication on Linux. Although I wrote it because of my Framework, it also works with fingerprint enabled Thinkpads (you can find a list...

There’s more to making an oscillator than meets the eye, and [lcamtuf] is here with a good primer on the subject. It starts with the old joke that if you need an oscillator it’s best to try to make an amplifier instead, but of course the real point here is to learn how to make not just a mere oscillator, but a good oscillator.
He does this by taking the oscillator back to first principles and explaining positive feedback on an amplifier, before introducing the Schmitt trigger, an RC circuit to induce a delay, and then phase shift. These oscillators are not complex circuits by any means, so understanding their principles should allow you to unlock the secrets of oscillation in a less haphazard way than just...

Cet Easter Egg est un peu particulkier : la personne à l’origine de l’Easter Egg (et qui se trouve dedans) est décédée récemment. C’est Rebecca Heineman, une développeuse qui a travaillé sur de nombreux portages de jeux sur Macintosh, Apple IIgs et 3DO (notamment). Et elle a travaillé sur Wolfenstein 3D pour Macintosh (et d’autres, j’en ai parlé sur MacG). La version Mac de Wolfenstein 3D est techniquement bien plus avancée que la version pour PC. Elle utilise des BSP au lieu du ray casting (je vous conseille le Game Engine Black Book: Wolfenstein 3D pour les détails) et peut effectuer un rendu en 640 x 480. Le jeu est nettement plus beau (pour l’époque) mais tourne assez mal sur les...

The history of the game Zork is a long and winding one, starting with MUDs and kin on university mainframes – where students entertained themselves in between their studies – and ending with the game being ported to home computers. These being pathetically undersized compared to even a PDP-10 meant that Zork got put to the axe, producing Zork I through III. Originally distributed by Infocom, eventually the process of Microsoft gobbling up game distributors and studios alike meant that Microsoft came to hold the license to these games. Games which are now open source as explained on the Microsoft Open Source blog.
Although the source had found its way onto the Internet previously, it’s now officially...

Olivia Dean “Let Alone the One You Love”
Olivia Dean sold out four nights at Madison Square Garden this week, an extremely impressive feat for a singer who just recently played four shows there as the opening act for Sabrina Carpenter. It’s a real perspective-shifter – Dean is substantially more popular than she seemed, and the market for lovelorn classic-style R&B is clearly stronger than ever. (Also take note of Giveon’s show at MSG, and Cleo Sol selling out three nights at Radio City Music Hall.) Dean has a lot of very good songs, but I figure a lot of her success comes down to how easily and effortlessly she fills a void in the pop landscape where Adele and Amy Winehouse used to be. Her music...

“For the first time, scientists are tracking the migration of monarch butterflies across much of North America, actively monitoring individual insects on journeys from as far away as Ontario all the way to their overwintering colonies in central Mexico. This long-sought achievement could provide crucial insights into the poorly understood life cycles of hundreds of species of butterflies, bees and other flying insects at a time when many are in steep decline. The breakthrough is the result of a tiny solar-powered radio tag that weighs just 60 milligrams and sells for $200. Researchers have tagged more than 400 monarchs this year and are now following their journeys on a cellphone app created by the New...

“Startup Valar Atomics said on Monday that it achieved criticality—an essential nuclear milestone—with the help of one of the country’s top nuclear laboratories. The El Segundo, California-based startup, which last week announced it had secured a $130 million funding round with backing from Palmer Luckey and Palantir CTO Shyam Sankar, claims that it is the first nuclear startup to create a critical fission reaction. It’s also, more specifically, the first company in a special Department of Energy pilot program aiming to get at least three startups to criticality by July 4 of next year to announce it had achieved this reaction. The pilot program, which was formed following an executive order president...

“The U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved Arrowhead Pharmaceuticals’drug for a type of genetic disorder that causes extremely high levels of fat in the bloodstream, the health regulator’s website showed on Tuesday.
