Vous avez une vieille GTX 1060 qui tourne nickel sous Arch Linux ? C'est con, NVIDIA vient de vous mettre un beau coup de pied aux fesses car la boîte au caméléon vert a décidé d'abandonner le support des GPU Pascal (les GTX 10xx) dans son dernier driver 590 et ça crée un joyeux bordel, notamment sur Arch.
Le problème, c'est que quand vous faites une mise à jour système sur Arch avec une vieille carte Pascal ou Maxwell, le nouveau driver refuse de charger. Résultat, vous vous retrouvez éjecté vers la ligne de commande sans interface graphique. Sympa pour débugger quand y'a plus d'écran qui fonctionne...
Faut dire que le modèle "rolling release" d'Arch fait que les utilisateurs ont reçu ce...

For years, Samsung has made products that try to camouflage what they are by displaying works of art. The Frame TV is the most famous example, but the company also released the Music Frame, a speaker disguised as a picture frame, at last year's CES. Now, instead of hiding a speaker with a piece of art, Samsung worked with designer Erwan Bouroullec to make a speaker into a piece of art.
According to Samsung, the Music Studio line of speakers, debuting at CES 2026, draw inspiration from the "timeless dot concept" found throughout music and art. As a musician, the Music Studio 5 reminds me of a fermata, the symbol meant to hold a note or silen …

[Geeksmithing] and [When Geeks Craft] recently came together for a glowing collaboration. They wanted to build ever more attractive lanterns for a local parade event. They recently discovered a fantastic material that can really improve the look of whatever project you might be building with LEDs.
The material is commonly referred to as “Black LED Acrylic” or similar. In this case, it was sourced from TAP Plastics, though you can source similar acrylic from other vendors, too. From first glance, it looks like any other piece of black acrylic plastic. However, shine an LED through it, and it will be beautifully diffused and smoothed out to wonderful visual effect. A simple test of a 3×3 array of LEDs...

The post goes on to specifically call out the potential impact on people's mental health and the dangers of AI-powered cybersecurity weapons.

Gaming is a wonderful thing. Unfortunately for many of us, work takes up our valuable time, which should be allocated to our gaming. What if there was a better way? Well, printers can print an image quickly, and receipt printers can print a lot of images. This sounds like an effective display for DOOM in a pinch. [Bringus Studios] managed to find such a printer and got the classic shooter running.
Getting the printer’s attached computer, which was only designed for printing the cost of your chicken sandwich, to run Half-Life was far from easy. [Bringus] struggled through the process of swapping operating systems from Windows 7 to Linux just to return to Windows 7 after a painful process of maintaining...

Everyone loves a full-wave bridge rectifier, but there’s no denying that they aren’t 100% efficient due to the diode voltage drop. Which isn’t to say that with some effort we cannot create an ideal bridge rectifier using active components, as demonstrated by [Mousa] with an active bridge circuit. This uses the NXP TEA2208T active bridge rectifier controller, along with the requisite four MOSFETs.

I played a lot of games on my Steam Deck this year. It seemed like there was a never-ending list of incredible indie games to try - The Verge wrote about a lot of them! - and many worked brilliantly on Valve's handheld gaming PC. Some bigger games made a splash on Steam Deck, too, and while they may not look as good as on a beefy PC, I'm usually happy to deal with that simply because I can play them on the couch or out of the house.

LED bezels (also known as LED panel-mount holders) are great, so how about 3D printing the next ones you need? Sure, they’re inexpensive to purchase and not exactly uncommon. But we all know that when working on a project, one doesn’t always have everything one might need right at hand. At times like that, 3D printing is like a superpower.
Printing a part you find yourself short of can be a lifesaver.

Visualizers used to be very much in vogue, something you’d gasp in at amazement when you’d fire up Winamp or Windows Media Player. They’re largely absent from our modern lives, but [Arnov Sharma] is bringing them back. After all, who doesn’t want a cool visualizer hanging on the wall in their living room?
The build is based around the Raspberry Pi Pico 2. It’s paired with a small microphone hooked up to a MAX9814 chip, which amplifies the signal and offers automatic gain control to boot. This is a particularly useful feature, which allows the microphone to pick up very soft and very loud sounds without the output clipping. The Pi Pico 2 picks up the signals from the mic, and then displays the...

À l'époque de ma glorieuse jeunesse, je jouais à RoboCop sur NES et c'est vrai que je trouvais ça très cool ! Mais ce que je ne savais pas, c'est que la version arcade de Data East cachait un secret bien vicieux dans ses entrailles électroniques.
En 1988, Data East sort donc RoboCop en version arcade et comme tous les éditeurs de l'époque, ils avaient une peur bleue des bootleggers asiatiques qui clonaient les bornes à tour de bras. Du coup, ils ont eu une idée de génie : planquer une puce HuC6280 dans le hardware. Pour ceux qui ne connaissent pas, c'est le processeur du PC Engine, le cousin japonais de la TurboGrafx-16, sauf que là, elle ne sert absolument pas à faire tourner le jeu.

En lisant le livre Game Engine Black Book sur Wolfenstein 3D, je suis tombé sur un petit Easter Egg : il explique qu’une des musiques du jeu contient du code morse. Je devais évidemment tenter de le décoder. Ce n’est pas la première fois que je trouve du morse : il y en a dans un keynote Apple, dans un lecteur ZIP ou sur la coque d’un disque dur. Mais ici, c’est de l’audio.
La première a été de trouver la musique en question. On l’entend en fond sur l’épisode 3. Je l’a trouvé sur ce site, c’est la piste 14, Kill the S.O.B. Le code morse est parfaitement audible derrière la musique (à partir de 10 secondes). J’ai juste récupéré le son ici et extrait l’audio. Avec Audacity,...

Dominion Energy, an offshore wind developer and utility serving Virginia's "data center alley," filed suit against the Trump administration this week over its decision to pause federal leases for large offshore wind projects. The move puts a sudden stop to five wind farms already under construction, including Dominion's Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind project. The complaint Dominion filed Tuesday alleges that a stop work order that the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) issued Monday is unlawful, "arbitrary and capricious," and "infringes upon constitutional principles that limit actions by the Executive Branch."

My PCP air rifle is a Weihrauch HW100 T.
The rifle developed a slow leak: I could fill and use it, but over the course of a couple of days any stored pressure would be gone. This was problematic because leaving the gun empty for long periods can allow moisture to find its way into the cylinder.
My leak appeared after I'd removed the cylinder for a depressurisation. I refilled it before re-attaching, so the seals will have gone from 1 to 200 bar in an instant (which is fine... until it isn't).

These postings were swiftly removed by Reddit, presumably after they were targeted by DMCA takedown notices, but the user kept submitting new posts.

These uploads were also spotted by rightsholders and were eventually removed. Despite multiple warnings and strikes, the leaker continued sharing copies on YouTube, Google Drive, and elsewhere.
