Vu sur X, un iPad un peu particulier : celui qui servait de support pour les Apple Watch il y a dix ans. J’en ai un, d’ailleurs. C’est un iPad mini 2 un peu modifié, avec un support pour une Apple Watch de démonstration, reliée en Lightning. L’iPad peut être alimenté en Lightning mais aussi en MagSafe 2, ce qui n’est pas courant. Du MagSafe 2

Il y a deux variantes de l’iPad (en fonction de la batterie) et il lui...

The Trump administration's pressure on European regulators is having an impact, with fewer restrictions on Big Tech and canceled measures.

– Article en partenariat avec NordVPN –
Vous aviez remarqué que depuis quelques années, les joueurs de FPS multijoueurs sont de plus en plus nombreux à passer par un VPN ? Et non, ce n’est pas pour télécharger des trucs louches en cachette mais pour une raison bien plus technique.
Et avec la sortie de Battlefield 6 en octobre dernier et Black Ops 7 mi-novembre, ce sujet revient en force, alors je me suis demandé mais pourquoi diable utiliser un VPN pour jouer ?
Le truc, c’est que même si ces deux jeux gèrent leur matchmaking de façon complètement différente, dans les deux cas, un VPN peut vous sauver la mise. Battlefield 6 mise en effet principalement sur un matchmaking basé sur la...

Les Européens ont présenté dimanche à Genève leurs propositions pour mettre fin à la guerre entre Kiev et Moscou, amendant sensiblement le plan de paix russo-américain dévoilé cette semaine. Après une première journée de négociations, la Maison-Blanche a salué “un pas en avant significatif” et l’Ukraine “de très bons progrès”.

Après le rejet du projet de loi de finances à l’Assemblée nationale, la France démontre son incapacité à retrouver une trajectoire financière crédible. Grâce à la monnaie unique, nous pouvons finalement dépenser plus que les autres pays en travaillant collectivement moins qu’eux, explique Stéphane Lauer, éditorialiste au « Monde », dans sa chronique.

Both sides say "intensive work" will take place on outstanding issues following talks on a US-backed plan to end the war.

L’essor des mines d’or alluviales provoque des tensions au sein des communautés locales du nord du Pérou. Si certains habitants louent leurs terres aux orpailleurs, d’autres s’inquiètent des violences, de la pollution et des difficultés à trouver de la main-d’œuvre pour la récolte de café, raconte le site péruvien “Ojo Público”.

Inédite en France, cette série libanaise tourne en dérision la corruption et la bureaucratie à travers le quotidien d’un commissariat de police. Paradoxalement, les attaques des autorités politiques et religieuses du pays contre la série ont contribué à son succès dans l’ensemble du monde arabe, décrypte le site libanais “Daraj”.

L’entreprise controversée de Peter Thiel et d’Alex Karp, en plein essor sous l’administration Trump, a créé un cursus de quatre mois à la sortie du lycée. “The Wall Street Journal” a suivi la première promotion de ces jeunes soumis à l’épreuve du feu, avant d’être éventuellement embauchés.

An interesting trend over the last year or two has been the emergence of modern retrocomputer PCs, recreations of classic PC hardware from back in the day taking advantage of modern parts alongside the venerable processors. These machines are usually very well specified for a PC from the 1980s, and represent a credible way to run your DOS or early Windows software on something close to the original. [CNX Software] has news of a couple of new ones from the same manufacturer in China, one sporting a 386sx and the other claiming it can take either an 8088 or an 8086.
Both machines use the same see-through plastic case, screen, and keyboard, and there are plenty of pictures to examine the motherboard. There are...

In April, Elon Musk began backing away from his role as head of DOGE. By June, he was more or less fully gone from DC. In his wake, he left a power vacuum and significant ill will that has apparently led to the dissolution of DOGE eight months before its charter expires.  To call Musk’s DC tenure contentious would be an understatement. As a man accustomed to getting what he wants and functioning as a powerful executive, he swept through Washington with a figurative chainsaw, slashing budgets, firing workers, and making audacious power grabs. Musk’s brash behavior angered government employees and alienated would-be allies, like Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy....

Protests have taken place over the coaches that take visitors up to the world heritage site in Peru.

Remember the Key Bridge collapse? With as eventful a year as 2025 has been, we wouldn’t blame anyone for forgetting that in March of 2024, container ship MV Dali plowed into the bridge across Baltimore Harbor, turning it into 18,000 tons of scrap metal in about four seconds, while taking the lives of six very unlucky Maryland transportation workers in the process. Now, more than a year and a half after the disaster, we finally have an idea of what caused the accident. According to the National Transportation Safety Board’s report, a loss of electrical power at just the wrong moment resulted in a cascade of failures, leaving the huge vessel without steerage. However, it was the root cause of the power...

It’s long been known that X (and Twitter before it) is a major venue for foreign influence campaigns to meddle in American politics. Much of the focus has been on Russian troll farms, which the US government has targeted on several occasions. But the launch of X’s About This Account feature may have revealed the scope and geographical breadth of its foreign troll problem. Almost immediately after the feature launched, people started noticing that many rage-bait accounts focused on US politics appeared to be based outside of the US. Profiles with names like ULTRAMAGA🇺🇸TRUMP🇺🇸2028 were revealed to be based in Nigeria. A verified account posing as border czar Tom Homan was traced to Eastern...

The BBC wanted to show everyone how a computer might be used in schools. A program aired in 1979 asks, “Will Computers Revolutionise Education?” There’s vintage hardware and an appearance of PILOT, made for computer instructions.
Using PILOT looks suspiciously like working with a modern chatbot without as much AI noise. The French teacher in the video likes that schoolboys were practicing their French verb conjugation on the computer instead of playing football.
If you want a better look at hardware, around the five-minute mark, you see schoolkids making printed circuit boards, and some truly vintage oscilloscope close-ups. There are plenty of tiny monitors and large, noisy printing terminals.
You have...

Still no verdict on if 'Castlevania: Nocturne' is coming back, but this art book coming out in March can tide you over until news breaks.

Super Mario Odyssey is on sale for $29.99 for a limited time, which matches the game’s lowest price to date. | Image: Nintendo Nintendo has made some of the most iconic video games of all time, but building a library of the standouts can quickly become expensive, especially given that many titles don’t often go on sale at a significant discount. The good news is that Nintendo is already running a holiday sale in the run-up to Black Friday, allowing you to save on Nintendo Switch games, amiibo, and accessories through November 28th. The biggest news is that Nintendo and select retailers are offering some of the Switch’s best games — including Super Mario Odyssey and The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom...

Yesterday X started rolling out a new About This Account feature, which included what country the account was created from and what country the account is “based” in (which is different from “connected via”). Head of product at X, Nikita Bier, was quick to say that there were “a few rough edges,” but promised they’d be resolved by Tuesday.  There have definitely been complaints about inaccuracies. The company even ended up removing information about where an account was created, saying the data “was not 100 percent,” especially for older accounts.  The reaction from users on X was, of course, totally level-headed. They immediately recognized that the data was flawed and definitely didn’t...

We’ve probably all had a few conversations with people who hold eccentric scientific ideas, and most of the time they yield nothing more than frustration and perhaps a headache. In [Bertrand Selva]’s case, however, a conversation with a flat-earth believer yielded a device that uses a pair of gyroscopes to detect earth’s rotation, demonstrating that rotation exists without the bulkiness of a Foucalt pendulum.
[Bertrand] built his apparatus around a pair of BMI160 MEMS gyroscopes, which have a least significant bit for angular velocity corresponding to 0.0038 degrees per second, while the earth rotates at 0.00416 degrees per second. To extract such a small signal from all the noise in the measurements,...

You know those old cliche that the younger generations have begun to cynically despise: “follow your dreams!” “You can be anything you put your mind to!” — well, perhaps they are true on occasion. For instance when [rctestflight] had PCBs that dreamed of becoming a hydrofoil, he found a way to make that dream come true.
It’s kind of obvious in retrospect: printed circuit boards are made of FR4, which is a form of fiberglass, and you know what else is commonly made of fiberglass? Boats. So yes, the material is suited for this task. The fact that solder joints hold up to use in a little remote-control hydrofoil is less obvious, but good to know. It certainly makes for easier assembly for those of us...

The current discount takes nearly $200 off the original list price. More than five years after making their debut, Sony’s WH-1000XM4 remain an excellent pair of noise-canceling headphones. And right now, Best Buy is offering a doorbuster deal that drops them to just $159.99 ($190 off) for a limited time, which is the lowest price we’ve seen this year.

Dans les années nonante, au moment du lancement de la console Pippin, Bandai avait une newsletter pour les développeurs.

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...

Anna’s Archive is a meta-search engine for shadow libraries that allows users to find pirated books and other related resources.
In late 2023, the search engine expanded its offering by making data from OCLC’s proprietary WorldCat database available online.
Anna’s Archive scraped several terabytes of data and published over a billion unique metadata records. The records contain no copyrighted books or articles, but they help ‘shadow’ archivists track books already in the collection and which ones have yet to be added.

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...
