Le secrétaire au Trésor, Scott Bessent, a confirmé jeudi que Washington allait autoriser la Russie à vendre une partie de ses stocks durant un mois. Si les majors américaines pourraient profiter d’une hausse durable provoquée par la guerre au Moyen-Orient, les ménages, eux, seraient durement pénalisés.

En près de trois ans de guerre au Soudan, le Tchad voisin a vu affluer près d’un million de réfugiés sur son sol. Autour de la ville d’Adré, une économie informelle s’est mise en place, faite de revente, de troc et d’allers et retours des deux côtés de la frontière, raconte le quotidien espagnol “El País”.

La maîtrise des outils d’intelligence artificielle fait partie des critères de recrutement chez Amazon, Google, Meta et consorts, puis de l’évaluation professionnelle. Car pour vendre leurs produits, ces entreprises doivent pouvoir montrer qu’ils sont utiles et efficaces, souligne “The Wall Street Journal”.

Réquisition de logements vacants, contrôles d’identité par des policiers municipaux, moindres subventions aux écoles privées… Des mesures avancées par les candidats excèdent les prérogatives des maires, quand elles ne contreviennent pas carrément avec la loi.

MUNUCIPALES 2026. Si cosmopolite que puisse paraître la Ville Lumière, la peur de l’autre y a aussi élu domicile. Et ce n’est pas nouveau, constate ce journaliste allemand en balade dans la capitale, où 15 % des électeurs disent pencher pour l’extrême droite.

Si la majorité de “Tehrangeles”, la diaspora iranienne de Los Angeles, soutient les frappes contre le régime de Téhéran, certains de ses membres craignent que la guerre ne s’éternise et que l’avenir de l’Iran ne soit imposé par Washington aux dépens du peuple, raconte “The Economist”.

Le leader de Place publique a appelé à « rompre définitivement » avec La France insoumise, à la suite des dérapages répétés de son leader. Le premier secrétaire du PS, lui, repousse la question au lendemain du premier tour.

Last year, we brought you a story about the BhangmeterV2, an internet-of-things nuclear war monitor. With a cold-war-era HSN-1000 nuclear event detector at its heart, it had one job: announce to everything else on the network than an EMP was inbound, hopefully with enough time to shut down electronics. We were shocked to find out that the HSN-1000 detector was still available at the time, but that time has now passed. Fortunately [Bigcrimping] has stepped up to replicate the now-unobtainable component at the heart of his build with his BHG-2000 Nuclear Event Detector — but he needs your help to finish the job.
The HSN-1000, as reported previously, worked by listening for the characteristic prompt gamma ray...

Air hockey is one of those sports that’s both incredibly fun, but also incredibly frustrating as playing it by yourself is a rather lonely and unfulfilling experience. This is where an air hockey playing robot like the one by [Basement Builds] could come in handy. After all, after you finished building an air hockey table from scratch, how hard could it be to make a robot that merely moves the paddle around to hit the puck with?
An air hockey table is indeed not extremely complicated, being mostly just a chamber that has lots of small holes on the top through which the air is pushed. This creates the air layer on which the puck appears to float, and allows for super-fast movement. For this part countless...

Bluetooth trackers come in all shapes and sizes. | Illustration: Cath Virginia / The Verge Some people rarely lose things. Wallets are always exactly where they’re supposed to be, keys never go missing, and remotes never slip between the couch cushions. And then there’s the rest of us — the folks who can’t ever seem to find the thing that was right there a few seconds ago. For us, there are Bluetooth trackers. Bluetooth trackers have been around for a long time, and they all generally work the same way. You stick the tracker onto an object, pair it with your phone, and then, when you lose said object, you can go into an app and ring the tracker. But these days, Bluetooth trackers can do a lot more....

You can download Chrome for Linux, and you can download Chrome for Arm devices - but if you've got a computer running Linux on Arm, not so much! Now, Google says it's finally bringing Chrome to ARM64 Linux machines in Q2 2026, following Chrome for Arm Macs in 2020 and Chrome for Windows on Arm in 2024.
Why Arm + Linux now? In a blog post, Google only says that it "addresses the growing demand for a browsing experience that combines the benefits of the open-source Chromium project with the Google ecosystem of apps and features." What we're left wondering is whether Google's talking about existing demand, or demand yet to come. There's cert …

Earlier this week, Cloudflare announced the introduction of their Browser Crawl Endpoint.
This allows Cloudflare users to crawl an entire website by making a single API call to the Browser rendering service.
Although the browser rendering service honours robots.txt they don't define a specific User-Agent that the service will check for, apparently instead expecting website operators to disallow all user agents if they want to keep Cloudflare out.
However, they have also documented that the service includes Cloudflare specific request headers, allowing requests to be blocked by checking for those.
This post details how to achieve that on BunnyCDN, Nginx and Openresty. The Headers

Sound! It’s a thing you hear, moreso than something you see with your eyes. And yet, it is possible to visualize sound with various techniques. [PlasmatronX] demonstrates this well, using a special scanning technique to visually capture the sound field inside an acoustic levitation device. 
If you’re unfamiliar, acoustic levitation devices like this use ultrasound to create standing waves that can hold small, lightweight particles in mid-air. The various nodes of the standing wave are where particles will end up hovering. [PlasmatronX] was trying to calibrate such a device, but it proved difficult without being able to see what was going on with the sound field. Hence, the desire to image it!

Around a dozen parents huddled in the dim hallway outside the courtroom in February, nervously gripping paper tickets. They were glaring at a gray tote bag held by a member of the court staff - the one who'd determine, by lottery, if they made it inside. Pinned on bags and coats, butterfly clips honored children they'd lost, deaths these parents link to their children's experiences online. The clips were a symbolic gesture chosen to not inadvertently prejudice the jury, which would decide if social media companies could be held liable for the kinds of harms they believe their children experienced. If the number on a parent's ticket came up, …

The early history of colour TV had several false starts, of which perhaps one of the most interesting might-have-beens was the CBS field-sequential system. This was a rival to the nascent system which would become NTSC, which instead of encoding red, green, and blue all at once for each pixel, made sequential frames carry them.
The Korean war stopped colour TV development for its duration in the early 1950s, and by the end of hostilities NTSC had matured into what we know today, so field-sequential colour became a historical footnote. But what if it had survived? [Nicole Express] takes into this alternative history, with a look at how a field-sequential 8-bit home computer might have worked.

In March of 2024, the Dallas-based IPTV operator William Freemon was sued for copyright infringement by Amazon, Netflix, and several major Hollywood studios.
Freemon defended himself but failed to hire a lawyer for his company, Freemon Technology Industries (FTI). Instead, he responded by filing various motions while refusing to formally answer the copyright infringement complaint. With the case not moving forward, the movie companies eventually had enough and requested a default judgment of $18,750,000 in copyright damages. Last month, a Texas magistrate judge recommended granting this in full, and this week, the order was formally adopted by U.S. District Judge Sam A. Lindsay. Judge Grants $18,750,000...

Classic Mac OS was prized for its clean, accessible GUI when it first hit the scene in the 1980s. Back then, developers hadn’t even conceived of all the weird gewgaws that would eventually be shoehorned into modern operating systems, least of all AI agents that seem to be permeating everything these days. And yet! [SeanFDZ] found a way to cram Claude or other AI agents into the vintage Mac world.
The result of [Sean]’s work is AgentBridge, a tool for interfacing modern AI agents with vintage Mac OS (7-9). AgentBridge itself runs as an application within Mac OS. It works by reading and writing text files in a shared folder which can also be accessed by Claude or whichever AI agent is in use. AgentBridge...

My New Band Believe “Numerology”
“Numerology” feels smooth and suave despite itself. The ultra-frenetic acoustic guitar would typically signal agitation or anxiety, but instead feels like a strummed approximation of pulsing EDM keyboards. Skronky horns would normally feel a little uncomfortable and abrasive, but in this context, it comes across as bursts of excited energy. Cameron Picton, formerly of the proggy post-punk group Black Midi, makes the contradictions work by committing to a handsome vocal tone and singing lyrics about anticipation from a calm and calculating perspective. But not in a sinister or creepy way – he just sounds like a man with a plan, who knows what he wants from a night out...
