Je fais de temps en temps des recherches sur Internet Archive sur la Pippin, ce qui me permet parfois de découvrir des choses. Et récemment, quelqu’un a uploadé des bêtas de disques pour la Pippin. Je commence par Power Rangers Zeo Versus The Machine Empire pour une raison simple : c’est un jeu Pippin que j’ai à la maison. Il est disponible sous plusieurs formes, avec la pochette numérisée. Mais si le disque indique que c’est une version bêta, ce n’est pas réellement le cas. Le contenu est identique à mon disque et à la copie que vous pouvez trouver en ligne en cherchant un peu. Le disque de la bêta
Même la pochette numérisée est exactement la même que la mienne. Donc c’est une...

À une époque où le « fédéralisme » est souvent traité comme un mot provocateur dans la politique européenne, l'idée d'une fédération nordique peut sembler presque utopique. Le Danemark, la Finlande, l'Islande, la Norvège et la Suède sont généralement décrits comme des voisins coopératifs plutôt que comme des pionniers constitutionnels. Pourtant, derrière leur tranquille pragmatisme se cache une réalité frappante : aucune région d'Europe n'est mieux adaptée pour expérimenter l'intégration fédérale. Et si jamais cela se produisait, les implications iraient bien au-delà du cercle polaire arctique. La question immédiate n'est pas de savoir si les pays nordiques sont prêts à s'unir...

Cette semaine, dans notre newsletter consacrée à ce que la presse étrangère écrit de meilleur et de pire sur l’Hexagone : un étrange envoi postal.

Majid Takht-Ravanchi, Iran's deputy foreign minister, tells the BBC's Lyse Doucet that the ball was "in America's court to prove that they want to do a deal".

In the realm of first-world problems, your cheap wall clock doesn’t keep time, so you have to keep setting it. The answer? Of course, you connect it to NTP and synchronize the clock with an atomic time source. If you are familiar with how these generic quartz clock movements work, you can probably guess the first step is to gut the movement, leaving only the drive motor.
The motor is somewhat like a stepper motor. The ESP8266 processor can easily control the clock hands by sending pulses to the motor. The rest is simple network access and control. If the network time is ahead, the CPU gooses the clock a little. If it is behind, the CPU stalls the clock until it catches up. If you’ve ever done a project...

Le XV du Poireau traverse la pire période de son histoire récente, symbolisée par la dernière place lors des deux derniers Tournois des Six Nations et une série de revers cinglants contre les grandes nations du rugby. La presse d’outre-Manche se charge d’autopsier les racines du malaise gallois, avant la réception du XV de France, dimanche 15 février.

Le décor végétal du spectacle de la mi-temps du super Bowl était en réalité fait d’hommes grimés en cannes à sucre. Un détail amusant, mais pas seulement. Car la tâche était sérieuse et s’inscrivait dans l’hommage de l’artiste portoricain à sa terre et son histoire.

Malgré le rapprochement de certains élus locaux et la porosité de l’électorat, il n’y a pas eu de mouvements de masse de la droite vers le Rassemblement national en vue des scrutins des 15 et 22 mars.

ST’s VL53L5CX is a very small 8×8 grid ranging sensor that can perform distance measurements at a distance of up to 4 meters. In a recent video,[Henrique Ferrolho] demonstrated that this little sensor can also be used to perform a 3D scan of a room. The sensor data can be combined with an IMU to add orientation information to the scan data. These data streams are then combined by an ESP32 MCU that streams the data as JSON to a connected computer. Of course, that’s just the heavily abbreviated version, with the video covering the many implementation details that crop up when implementing the system, including noise filtering, orientation tracking using the IMU and a variety of plane fitting algorithms to...

In the nearby Andromeda Galaxy, a massive star bright enough to stand out for years has gone dark. Not in a blaze of glory. Not in a supernova that would briefly outshine its entire galaxy. It just faded. The object, known as M31-2014-DS1, sits about 2.5 million light-years away in M31. Kishalay De of the Simons Foundation’s Flatiron Institute led the effort to track what happened. The team pulled together data from NASA’s NEOWISE mission and a long list of ground and space telescopes, combing through observations from 2005 to 2023. Their findings were published February 12 in Science. At first, nothing seemed catastrophic. In 2014, the star brightened in mid-infrared light by about 50 percent over two...

Même si nous acceptons que les propriétés soient relationnelles, que l’émergence soit indépendante du substrat, que K = e/π² régisse les transitions de régime à travers les échelles – nous pourrions encore soutenir que les relations causales font partie du mobilier fondamental du réel. Le monde serait doté d’une structure causale : le feu cause la brûlure, les gènes causent les phénotypes, les taux d’intérêt causent l’investissement. Cette structure causale peut être difficile à découvrir (tout l’édifice de la méthodologie expérimentale et de l’inférence causale existe pour cette raison), mais elle serait là – inscrite dans...

One of the joys of browsing secondhand shops is the possibility of finding old, perhaps restorable or hackable, electronics at low prices. Admittedly, they usually seem to be old flat-screen TVs, cheap speakers, and Blu-ray players, but sometimes you find something like the Dash, an educational toy robot. When [Jonathan] came across one of these, he decided to use it as a turtle robot. However, he found the available Python libraries insufficient, and improving on them required some reverse-engineering. While [Jonathan] was rather impressed with the robot as it was – it had a good set of features, and thought had clearly been put into the design – he wanted a more open way to control it. There was already...

OLED screens already feel like magic. Colors pop on your phone. Blacks look truly black on your TV. The panel stays thin, smooth, and flexible. Yet a stubborn problem inside the device keeps engineers from pushing brightness much further without paying a price in power and heat. Researchers at KAIST say they have found a way around that limit. On Jan. 11, the institute announced a new near-planar light outcoupling structure and an OLED design method that can cut internal light loss. The team, led by Professor Seunghyup Yoo of the School of Electrical Engineering, reports that the combined approach can more than double light-emission efficiency in small pixels while keeping OLED’s flat form. The idea targets...

Are you in the mood for a retrocomputing deep dive into the Scriptovision Super Micro Script? It was a Canadian-made vintage video titler from the 80s, and [Cameron Kaiser] has written up a journey of repair and reverse-engineering for it. But his work is far more than just a refurbish job; [Cameron] transforms the device into something not unlike 8-bit homebrew computers of the era, able to upload and run custom programs with a limited blister keypad for input, and displaying output on a composite video monitor. Hardware-wise, the Super Micro Script is almost a home computer, so [Cameron] got it accepting and running custom code.A video titler like the Super Micro Script gave people the ability to display...

An elephant can lift a log, swing sand onto its back, and still pick up a peanut without crushing it. That mix of strength and delicacy has always looked a little mysterious, especially because elephants have thick skin and relatively poor eyesight. A new study says part of the answer sits on the trunk itself. Along the dorsal and lateral surfaces, roughly 1000 whiskers act like a sensing array. Researchers report that these whiskers are built with “functional gradients” that make contact feel different depending on where it happens along each whisker. The work, published in Science, comes from an interdisciplinary German collaboration led by the Haptic Intelligence Department at the Max Planck Institute...

The lovely thing about the x86 architecture is its decades of backwards compatibility, which makes it possible to run 1990s operating systems on modern-day hardware, with relatively few obstacles in the way. Recently [Yeo Kheng Meng] did just that with Windows 98 SE on a 2020 ThinkPad P12s Gen 1, booting it alongside Windows 11 and Linux from the same NVMe drive.
Naturally, after previously getting MS-DOS 6.22 from 1994 running on a 2020 ThinkPad X13, the step to doing the same with Windows 98 SE wasn’t that large. The main obstacles that you face come in the form of UEFI and hardware driver support.
Both ThinkPad laptops have in common that they support UEFI-CSM mode, also known as ‘classical BIOS’, as...

At the smallest scales of matter, nature behaves in ways that feel almost counterintuitive. Individual particles follow simple rules, but when they interact together, entirely new behaviors can emerge. This collective behavior sits at the heart of condensed matter physics, a field that tries to explain why materials act the way they do. One of the most puzzling and influential examples of this phenomenon is the Kondo effect, a quantum interaction that has shaped decades of research into magnetism and electronic materials. A new study now shows that this famous effect does not behave the same way in all cases. Instead, its outcome depends on something surprisingly simple; the size of a particle’s spin. By...

I use an FX Pocket Chronograph V2 to help monitor the power output of my air rifles.
It's a small radar based device which hangs below the barrel and links to my phone to write readings into the FX Radar app.
Although obviously quite useful while shooting, I also wanted to be able to monitor behaviour over time. For example, if the rifle's output trends down, it might suggest worn seals, whereas trending up could raise significant legal concerns.
So, like most other things that I monitor, I wanted to get the data into InfluxDB so that I could visualise and alert using Grafana.
This post describes the script that I wrote to process FX Radar exports and ingest them into InfluxDB.
Although I use this for airguns,...

Buying a pre-assembled gaming desktop makes sense for some. It can save you time and money, too, compared to buying PC components piecemeal. If you’re weighing your options, consider some Presidents Day offers on iBuyPower’s pre-built desktops, including the $1,899 RDY Element 9 Pro R07 and the $2,099.99 Slate — both of which are stocked with high-end AMD processors and GPUs that can tear through most games at 1440p with fast frame rates. They also come with 32GB of DDR5 RAM and 2TB of storage, along with a mouse and keyboard. Digging into the Element 9 Pro R07, it features AMD’s Ryzen 7 7800X3D processor, a Radeon 9070 XT graphics card with 16GB of VRAM (roughly on-par with the Nvidia RTX 5070 Ti),...

A set of ancient human fossils found on Morocco’s Atlantic coast now sits on one of the tightest timelines in African prehistory. The remains come from Thomas Quarry I, and a new analysis pins them to about 773,000 years ago, give or take 4,000 years. That level of precision is rare for fossils this old, and it pulls you closer to a moment near the split that later led to modern humans, Neandertals, and Denisovans. The research is led by an international team including Jean-Jacques Hublin of Collège de France and the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology, David Lefèvre of Université de Montpellier Paul Valéry, Giovanni Muttoni of Università degli Studi di Milano, and Abderrahim Mohib of...

In an eyewitness video analyzed frame by frame by The New York Times, Alex Pretti raises one hand and holds a phone in the other. Federal agents tackle him, and one appears to find and remove a gun holstered on his hip. Then, an agent shoots - and a second follows. They appear to fire nine more shots as Pretti lies on the ground.
The Trump administration has claimed Pretti was shot because of his legally carried gun - that the agents, later identified in records viewed by ProPublica as Border Patrol agent Jesus Ochoa and Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officer Raymundo Gutierrez, acted in self-defense. But the tool he was visibly holdin …

My ongoing quest to turn my iPhone into one of my favorite consoles of all time has led me to a curiously named controller. GameSir's Pocket Taco is only barely pocketable, and distinctly lacking in taco fillings, but for $35, it's an excellent and easy way to turn your phone into a Game Boy-inspired handheld for playing retro games that don't require a pair of thumbsticks.
Unlike the Abxylute M4 mobile controller that attaches to phones using magnets, or the Backbone Pro that sandwiches your device between a split gamepad, the Pocket Taco uses a hinged mechanism that, for lack of a better description, bites onto the bottom half of your sma …

Summary: Chocolate and roses began as rare, prestigious goods, but industrialization and global trade have made them far more affordable, freeing up more time for what matters most. Long before heart-shaped boxes lined supermarket aisles, cacao was consumed as a bitter ceremonial drink in Mesoamerica and valued enough to function as a medium of exchange. Among the Aztecs, cacao beans could be traded for everyday goods, and the beverage prepared from them was associated with wealth and status. Chocolate entered Europe in the 16th century as a rare and expensive commodity, with high prices of sugar and spices helping to keep the elaborately prepared drink from the hands of ordinary people. Only with the rise of...
