Dans mon premier article sur la caméra de la PlayStation 2 avec la PlayStation 3, j’étais un peu déçu : ma version de SingStar (Ultimate Party) ne prenait pas en charge la caméra. Donc comme c’est un disque assez courant, j’ai acheté la première version pour quelques euros. SingStar dans sa version d’origine sur PlayStation 3, accepte les accessoires de la PlayStation 2. On peut brancher les microphones de la PlayStation 2 (en USB), ce qui évitait d’acheter la version sans fil. Et comme les micros pour PlayStation 3 ne sont pas Bluetooth (pour pleins de raisons techniques), ils ont besoin d’un dongle qui a visiblement souvent été perdu. La pochette indique que la caméra est compatible

TRIBUNE. La nouvelle Stratégie de sécurité nationale des États-Unis (novembre 2025) vient de paraître (traduite par Le Grand Continent). Et le moins que l'on puisse dire, c'est qu'elle est gratinée. Une vision américaine centrée sur les États-Nations
Elle renoue avec une conception traditionnelle de l'État-nation - ”L'unité politique fondamentale du monde est et restera l'État-nation” - selon laquelle l'ordre, la sécurité et la cohésion doivent primer sur la mobilité et sur les considérations politiques et humanitaires, ce qui vise à remettre en cause les droits fondamentaux. Ce positionnement traduit une critique frontale de la mondialisation et de la gouvernance fédérale, accusées...

There are a million and one MIDI controllers and synths on the market, but sometimes it’s just more satisfying to make your own. [Turi Scandurra] very much went his own way when he put together his Diapasonix instrument.
Right away, the build is somewhat reminiscent of a stringed instrument, what with its buttons laid out in four “strings” of six “frets” each. Only, they’re not so much buttons, as individual sections of a capacitive touch controller. A Raspberry Pi Pico 2 is responsible for reading the 24 pads, with the aid of two MPR121 capacitive touch ICs.
The Diapasonix can be played as an instrument in its own right, using the AMY synthesis engine. This provides a huge range of patches from...

Au lendemain de manifestations massives contre la corruption, le Premier ministre bulgare, Rossen Jeliazkov, a annoncé jeudi la démission de son gouvernement. Une première victoire européenne pour la génération Z, analyse la presse internationale.

Le 12 décembre 2015, après deux semaines de négociations intenses, un accord géopolitique majeur était conclu à Paris, visant notamment à limiter le réchauffement climatique « bien en dessous » de 2 °C et à « poursuivre les efforts » pour limiter la hausse des températures à 1,5 °C.

L’ancien président de la République explique dans son nouveau livre qu’il est une victime innocente d’un procès politique. Son témoignage montre aussi à quel point il a bénéficié d’un traitement carcéral hors norme.

Tous les ans, le site “Politico” demande à des personnalités et journalistes européens de désigner le décideur politique le plus puissant d’Europe. Cette année, c’est le locataire de la Maison-Blanche qui a été choisi. S’il n’est pas européen, il joue néanmoins un rôle majeur sur les destinées du Vieux Continent, sans se priver d’en dénigrer les dirigeants.

Ce chroniqueur d’“El País” met en regard deux phénomènes : d’un côté l’hypogamie, à savoir le modèle de couple au sein duquel l’homme est moins instruit que la femme, qui gagne du terrain chez les hétérosexuels. Et de l’autre, le fait que de plus en plus de femmes préfèrent rester célibataires. Ces deux phénomènes seraient-ils liés ?

While Geoff Keighley had already announced that Tomb Raider would be making a Game Awards appearance, the surprise was that instead of one game announcement there's two. Crystal Dynamics and Amazon Game Studios are releasing two Tomb Raider games back-to-back in 2026 and 2027. First up, coming in 2026 is Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis. Don't let the fancy name fool you though, Legacy of Atlantis is the Unreal Engine 5 version of the first Tomb Raider game, a remake similar to Tomb Raider Anniversary which updated the 1997 original PlayStation game for the PS2. But that's not all. In 2027, the Tomb Raider team will release another game, To …

If you get a chance to visit a computer history museum and see some of the very old computers, you’ll think they took up a full room. But if you ask, you’ll often find that the power supply was in another room and the cooling system was in yet another. So when you get a computer that fit on, say, a large desk and maybe have a few tape drives all together in a normal-sized office, people thought of it as “small.” We’re seeing a similar evolution in particle accelerators, which, a new startup company says, can be room-sized according to a post by [Charles Q. Choi] over at IEEE Spectrum.
Usually, when you think of a particle accelerator, you think of a giant housing like the 3.2-kilometer-long SLAC...

Shortly after appeals court judges ruled against Apple's contempt appeal in a years-long antitrust dispute against the makers of Fortnite, I got to talk to Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney in an interview. According to Sweeney, today's ruling "completely shuts down" Apple's App Store rules that allow it to collect "junk fees."
The three-judge Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals panel largely affirmed an April ruling that Apple failed to comply with Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers's 2021 order allowing app developers to link to external payment options, which Sweeney said "… is really awesome for all developers." Perhaps the most notable part of the app …

Remedy Entertainment is finally showing off the much-anticipated sequel to Control. The new game, dubbed Control Resonant, expands on the original with a new action-RPG framework. It takes place seven years later and shifts the setting from the unsettling Oldest House of the original to a more open Manhattan, while putting players in the role of Dylan Faden, brother of Control protagonist Jesse. It's expected to launch in 2026.
Here's the basic setup, per Remedy: After years in confinement at the hands of the Federal Bureau of Control (FBC), Dylan Faden's former captors are deploying him at the peak of a supernatural crisis. Charged with …

The next Star Wars game is coming from the director of Mass Effect and Knights of the Old Republic. Star Wars: Fate of the Old Republic was revealed during The Game Awards with a brief trailer that got Geoff Keighley so excited his voice started cracking. Like any announcement trailer, it was brief, featuring a spaceship landing on a rainy planet and a woman in white robes staring into the camera as a lightsaber zhooms to life. According to the trailer's YouTube description, Fate of the Old Republic is a single-player narrative game and the spiritual successor to the KOTOR series.

Cycloidal drives have an entrancing motion, as well as a few other advantages – high torque and efficiency, low backlash, and compactness among them. However, much as [Sergei Mishin] likes them, it can be difficult to 3D-print high-torque drives, and it’s sometimes inconvenient to have the input and output shafts in-line. When, therefore, he came across a video of an industrial three-ring reducing drive, which works on a similar principle, he naturally designed his own 3D-printable drive.
The main issue with 3D-printing a normal cycloidal drive is with the eccentrically-mounted cycloidal plate, since the pins which run through its holes need bearings to keep them from quickly wearing out the plastic plate...

The founder of Terraform Labs was sentenced today for lying about “experimental” coins that blew a $40 billion hole in the crypto economy.

As technology marches on, gear that once required expensive lab equipment is now showing up in devices you can buy for less than a nice dinner. A case in point: those tiny displays originally sold as Nintendo amiibo emulators. Thanks to [ATC1441], one of these pocket-sized gadgets has been transformed into 2.4 GHz spectrum analyzer.
These emulators are built around the Nordic nRF52832 SoC, the same chip found in tons of low-power Bluetooth devices, and most versions come with either a small LCD or OLED screen plus a coin cell or rechargeable LiPo. Because they all share the same core silicon, [ATC1441]’s hack works across a wide range of models. Don’t expect lab-grade performance; the analyzer only covers...

Not only are pianos beautiful musical instruments that have stood the test of many centuries of time, they’re also incredible machines. Unfortunately, all machines wear out over time, which means it’s often not feasible to restore every old piano we might come across. But a few are worth the trouble, and [Emma] had just such a unique machine roll into her shop recently.
What makes this instrument so unique is that it’s among the first electric pianos to be created, and one of only three known of this particular model that survive to the present day. This is a Vivi-Tone Clavier piano which dates to the early 1930s. In an earlier video she discusses more details of its inner workings, but essentially it...

“Eli Lilly on Thursday said its next-generation obesity drug delivered what appears to be the highest weight loss yet in a late-stage trial while reducing knee arthritis pain, clearing the first of several upcoming studies on the weekly injection.  The highest dose of the drug helped patients with obesity and a type of knee arthritis lose an average of 23.7% of their body weight at 68 weeks, when analyzing all participants, including those who discontinued treatment. When evaluating only patients who stayed on the drug, the highest dose delivered 28.7% weight loss on average. The company said some patients lost so much weight that they decided to drop out of the trial.” From CNBC.

“We examine how consumers modify their food purchases after adopting appetite-suppressing GLP-1 receptor agonists, such as Ozempic and Wegovy. Using survey responses on medication adoption linked to transaction data from a representative U.S. household panel, we document the prevalence, motivations, and demographic patterns of GLP-1 adoption. Households with at least one GLP-1 user reduce grocery spending by 5.3% within six months of adoption, with higher-income households reducing spending by 8.2%. While most food categories see spending declines, the largest reductions are concentrated in calorie-dense, processed categories, including a 10.1% decline in savory snacks. In contrast, a small set of categories...

“Raccoons living wild in cities in the United States are beginning to show physical changes that resemble early signs of domestication, according to a recent study. The study found that urban raccoons had developed shorter snouts than rural raccoons, with the research produced by the University of Arkansas at Little Rock and published in Frontiers in Zoology. This is an example of a physical trait that appears across domesticated animals that have adapted to living in close proximity to humans over long periods of time, along with other traits such as smaller teeth, curlier tails, smaller brains and floppier ears.” From The Guardian.

Elle fait partie de l'imaginaire collectif de Noël, au même titre que les cadeaux et le sapin. Pourtant, la neige se fait rare le 25 décembre. Dans la plupart des grandes agglomérations françaises, il faut remonter assez loin pour retrouver la dernière ville recouverte d'un manteau blanc. D'après les données de Météo-France, Paris n'a ainsi plus connu de neige à Noël depuis 2010, quand Toulouse, Bordeaux ou encore Marseille attendent depuis 1962 de connaître un tel épisode. Et la probabilité d'avoir à nouveau un "Noël blanc" s'amenuise avec le temps. "Avec le dérèglement climatique, les épisodes de neige en plaine sont beaucoup moins fréquents depuis les années 1980, comme la durée...
