Après le Black Friday, Satechi a proposé de belles réductions sur une station d’accueil pour les anciens Mac mini (et les Mac Studio). C’est un produit en fin de vie, très clairement, mais j’ai payé le mien 24 € au lieu des 80 € d’origine. Il existe en gris et et en argent. Je prépare un peu en avance, mais la version sombre est à 28 €, la version argenté à 37 € et dans les deux cas, un code (EELD8P0NM58D) donne 15 % de réduction.
Il y a un emplacement pour un Mac

La France, l'Allemagne et le Royaume-Uni, le trio européen dit UE Trois (UE-3), ont récemment engagé la procédure d'activation du mécanisme de « snapback », instauré par la résolution 2231 du Conseil de sécurité des Nations unies (2015) et intégré à l'accord de Vienne sur le nucléaire iranien (Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, JCPOA). Ce dispositif permet à n'importe quelle partie signataire de rétablir automatiquement l'ensemble des sanctions levées avant le JCPOA si l'Iran est jugé en manquement majeur, sans qu'un nouveau vote au Conseil de sécurité soit nécessaire. Si cette mesure venait à être mise en place, elle marquerait un tournant majeur dans les relations entre l'Europe et...

Ever want a microcontroller addon for your laptops? You could do worse than match one of the new and powerful microcontrollers on the block to one of the most addon-friendly laptops, in the way the Framework RP2350 laptop card does it. Plug it in, and you get a heap of USB-connected IO coming out of the side of your laptop – what’s not to love?
The card utilizes the Framework module board space to the fullest extent possible, leaving IO expansion on SMD pads you could marry to a male or female header, your choice. With about seventeen GPIOs, power, and ground, there’s really no limit on what you could add to the side connector – maybe it’d be a logic analyzer buffer, or a breadboard cable, or a flash...

Although most people manage to navigate roads without major issues during the day, at night we become very reliant on the remaining navigational clues. The painted marks on the asphalt may not be as obvious in the glare of headlights, not to mention scuffed up and/or covered by snow and hidden by fog. This is where cat’s eyes are a great example of British ingenuity. A common sight in the UK and elsewhere in Europe, they use retroreflectors embedded in the road. Best of all, they are highly durable and self-cleaning, as [Mike Fernie] details in a recent video on these amazing devices.

These days, Internet connectivity is ubiquitous, so you can look up live weather data on just about any device around you. Regardless, [Jozerworx] wanted a simple, clean, independent weather display, and came up with this simple design. 
The build is based on the Lilygo T5 EPD devboard, which combines an ESP32-S3 microcontroller with a nice 4.7-inch e-paper display. This display has the benefit that it only uses power when it’s being updated, making it particularly suitable to run off a battery for extended periods of time. Meanwhile, the ESP32 and its inbuilt Wi-Fi connectivity allow it to query the internet for updated weather forecasts. Weather data is sourced via the OpenWeather API, which [Jozerworx]...

Robot vacuums that can both mop and sweep your floors have improved significantly in recent years. While they are still not as effective as good ol’ manual labor, if you run them regularly, they will help keep your floors cleaner with much less effort on your part. The difference is that newer “combo” robot vacuum and mop models are designed to actually scrub your floors. The first robot vacuums that could also “mop” simply slapped a thin, flat microfiber pad on the bot that kind of Swiffer-ed your floor. Basically, all this was good for was getting up fine dirt that the vacuum left behind. A robot vacuum with a real mopping system will make your life easier  Newer models now come with vibrating or...

We love a good clock project, and [byeh_ in] has one with a design concept we don’t believe we have seen before. The Trace Line Clock has smooth lines and a clean presentation, with no sockets or visible mechanical fixtures.
Reading the clock is quite straightforward once one knows what is going on. At its heart, the unmarked face is much like any other analog clock face, and on the inside is a pretty normal clock movement. The inner recessed track on the face represents hours, and the outer is minutes. The blue line connects the two, drawing a constantly changing line. Sped-up footage shows how the line moves.
To make the blue segment move without breaking the lines of the clock, [byeh_ in] uses magnets....

Right now, you can snag Apple’s Watch Series 11 in the 42mm configuration with GPS for a new all-time low of $299 ($100 off) at Amazon, Walmart, and Best Buy.

Nearly 30 years after buying the alpine getaway, a Melburnian brings in Chamberlain Architects to improve its insulation, fire resistance, and flow.When Andrew Bruce first spotted a weather-beaten pine cabin in the small town of Cobungra, Australia, nearly 30 years ago, he wasn’t looking for a forever home. "I was single, working long hours in Melbourne, and just needed an escape," he says. The cabin, a rough builder’s spec house on a steep, tree-lined block, seemed like the perfect place to retreat. "It hadn’t really been lived in, so it was already falling apart, but I didn’t care. It was near Mount Hotham where I ski, and that’s all that mattered." In those early years, the cabin was as basic as...

When Napster found its way to millions of desktop computers 25 years ago, the music industry was terrified by this apparent existential threat.
Determined to make the problem disappear, the legal response was swift. Within a year, the RIAA sued Napster, and artists such as Metallica and Dr. Dre soon followed.
This strategy seemed to work, as the RIAA lawsuit effectively shut down Napster two years after it launched. However, the genie was out of the bottle, and the ‘magic’ of unlimited access inspired many new sharing apps, such as LimeWire and Kazaa. These new applications eventually ran into trouble as well.
