It feels like not a week has gone by this year without a senior Microsoft executive leaving the company. Some departures have triggered sweeping shakeups of Microsoft's biggest businesses, while others have seen fresh faces replace veteran employees. Executive departures at Microsoft are nothing new, but the pace feels notable this early in the year.
The timing points to a Microsoft that is struggling to retain talent in a market where competition is high and the stock price is low. Investors have been hammering Microsoft's stock price in recent weeks, and at one point last month it had dropped by more than 30 percent compared to six months …

Le président a encouragé les élus locaux républicains à redécouper la carte électorale pour avantager leur parti et conserver la majorité à la Chambre des représentants lors des élections de mi-mandat, qui auront lieu en novembre. Or les démocrates ont répondu par la même tactique en Californie et désormais en Virginie. À ce vilain jeu, ils pourraient même l’emporter.

Microsoft is changing up its annual rewards and performance programs today, and offering long-serving employees in the US the ability to voluntarily retire. It's the first time in Microsoft's more than 50-year history that the company has offered such a voluntary retirement program.
"Many of these employees have spent years, and in some cases, decades, shaping Microsoft into what it is today," says Microsoft's HR chief Amy Coleman in a memo seen by The Verge. "For those who may be considering their next chapter, we're offering a one‑time Voluntary Retirement Program." Microsoft says it applies to only a "small percentage of our US employees …

The Lito X1 is more expensive but features better obstacle avoidance and a superior camera. | Image: DJI Following teasers and leaks, DJI has officially announced its new entry-level Lito 1 and Lito X1 drones that both weigh less than 249 grams so they're not subjected to registration requirements in many countries. Neither drone is currently available in the US, but European pricing starts at €339 (around $397) for the Lito 1, and €419 (around $490) for the Lito X1.
Both models come with DJI's screenless RC-N3 controller that uses a smartphone as its display, but you can't pilot either drone using your phone like you can with the DJI Neo. The Lito 1 and X1 are also compatible with alternate DJI...

It hasn't been that long since Stranger Things ended, but even still fans are clearly clamoring for more. The finale was overshadowed by a conspiracy about a secret episode, and an otherwise standard behind-the-scenes documentary became a hotbed for theorizing. Of course, given the scale of Stranger Things, Netflix was never going to let the franchise die completely, but its first attempt at expanding the franchise largely falls flat. Tales From '85 is a stakes-free return to Hawkins that's missing most of what made the original series such a phenomenon. And it's another example of Netflix struggling to turn its biggest shows into ongoing fr …

For those of us with an interest in hacking and making, events where we can meet up with like minded folks and check out the projects they’re working on don’t exactly happen every day. Unless you’re able to travel around the country (or even better, the world), you usually have to make do with the handful of annual events that are within a reasonable distance of your home. If you’re lucky that may give you two or three opportunities during the year to look forward to, generally spaced out enough that you’ve got adequate time to prepare ahead of the event and decompress afterwards.
But occasionally, the planets and geekdoms align. Such was the case this past weekend in the Northeastern United States,...

Un logiciel malveillant destiné à effacer définitivement les données de postes informatiques vient de faire surface dans le secteur énergétique vénézuélien.
La bête a été baptisée "Lotus" par les chercheurs de Kaspersky qui l'ont analysé en premier, il a été mise en route en décembre 2025 depuis un ordinateur vénézuélien, et sa cible principale semble être PDVSA, la compagnie pétrolière d'État.
Côté technique, Lotus ne fait pas dans la dentelle. Deux scripts batch préparatoires, OhSyncNow.bat et notesreg.bat, désactivent toutes les défenses, coupent les comptes utilisateurs et ferment les interfaces réseau, histoire de bien tout bloquer.
Ensuite, le binaire principal passe en mode...

Apple a publié hier une mise à jour iOS qui ferme une faille utilisée par les forces de l'ordre américaines pour récupérer des messages supprimés dans des applications comme Signal.

Concrètement, un message Signal effacé côté appli restait lisible par quiconque avait la main sur le téléphone et savait fouiller au bon endroit.

If you were to point to a single device responsible for much of Hackaday’s early success, it might be the Arduino Uno.

In piracy circles, names like Sflix, Watchseries, HDtoday, and Fmovies are essentially “zombie” brands. While the original iterations of these sites were shut down or “retired” years ago, their names remain immensely popular with users.

However, that changed this week when dozens of domains suddenly became unreachable, all pointing to a Cloudflare 521 error.

If you wanted to record yourself playing on a GameCube, you could use a VCR to capture the video output on tape. But there is a more interesting way to do it—which is precisely what [jiinurppa] built GameCube bot for. 
The concept is simple—GameCube bot is a small device that captures controller inputs and records them to an SD card. It can then play them back on command, allowing it to recreate gameplay as it happened the first time right on the console. A Raspberry Pi Pico is the brains of the operation, which is able to intercept signals from a standard GameCube controller. It’s paired with the aforementioned SD storage as well as an ST7735 display for showing status information. The device records...

In the ongoing development of cancer immunotherapy, as well as our still developing understanding of the human immune system, there’s always been a bit of massive elephant in the room. The thing about human bodies is that they’re not just human cells, but also consist of trillions of bacteria that mostly live in the intestines. What effect these bacteria have on the immune system’s functioning and from there on immunotherapies was recently investigated by [Tariq A. Najar] et al., with an article published in Nature.
