Ahmed El-Charaa, qui cherche à tourner la page de l’ère d’Assad et à reconstruire un pays dévasté par la guerre, a réussi en un an à obtenir le soutien de la communauté internationale. Mais les tensions communautaires et la concentration des pouvoirs entre les mains de l’ancien djihadiste risquent de fragiliser le processus transitionnel.
Dans le quotidien russe “Nezavissimaïa Gazeta”, Andreï Kortounov, membre de l’influent club Valdaï, forum de réflexion lancé par le Kremlin, analyse les défis que pose le nouveau mandat de Donald Trump à la diplomatie russe.
Entre 2009 et 2018, plus de 240 femmes ont été droguées à leur insu rue de Valois. Six ans après l’ouverture d’une information judiciaire, elles attendent toujours le jugement. Angelique Chrisafis, du quotidien britannique “The Guardian”, a rencontré plusieurs de ces victimes.

Taxer les riches et réduire les dépenses ne suffiront pas à redresser les comptes, souligne le think tank dans un rapport publié lundi 8 décembre. Face à l’ampleur du déficit, « il faudra augmenter un des impôts que tout le monde paie ».
Les maires ont beau être au centre de la gestion des rythmes scolaires, ils temporisent devant les conclusions du rapport rendu par la convention citoyenne des temps de l’enfant, qui préconise le retour à la semaine de cinq jours d’école.
After scouring the second-hand shops and the endless pages of eBay for original video game hardware, a pattern emerges. The size of the accessory matters. If a relatively big controller originally came with a tiny wireless dongle, after twenty years, only the controller will survive. It’s almost as if these game controllers used to be owned by a bunch of irresponsible children who lose things (wink). Such is the case today when searching for a Nintendo Wavebird controller, and [James] published a wireless receiver design to make sure that the original hardware can be resurrected. The project bears the name Wave Phoenix. The goal was to bring new life to a legendary controller by utilizing inexpensive,...
Le président américain estime que l’acquisition « pourrait être un problème » alors que le géant du streaming a déjà « une très grosse part de marché ».
There's an argument to be made that "the real monster is trauma" has become an overused trope in modern horror. Hereditary, The Babadook, and, much less effectively, Smile, are just a few higher-profile examples. But, if you ask me, few films have deployed this trope quite as effectively as the 2020 film His House.
The film follows Bol and Rial, refugees from South Sudan, played by Sope Dirisu and Wunmi Mosaku. Both deliver the kind of incredible performances that you rarely see in a genre film like this. It's part of what elevates His House above the standard "haunted by trauma" fare. Mosaku, in particular, shows the sort of nuance and scr …

We stumbled upon a story this week that really raised our eyebrows and made us wonder if we were missing something. The gist of the story is that U.S. Secretary of Energy Chris Wright, who has degrees in both electrical and mechanical engineering, has floated the idea of using the nation’s fleet of emergency backup generators to reduce the need to build the dozens of new power plants needed to fuel the AI data center building binge. The full story looks to be a Bloomberg exclusive and thus behind a paywall — hey, you don’t get to be a centibillionaire by giving stuff away, you know — so we might be missing some vital details, but this sounds pretty stupid to us. First of all, saying that 35 gigawatts...
Alfredo Díaz, 56, died in prison cell on Saturday, human rights groups say, prompting opposition outcry.
In November, Ted Sarandos, Netflix’s co-CEO made a trip to the White House for a lengthy meeting with Donald Trump. According to Bloomberg, the two discussed a number of topics, but chief among them was Netflix’s plan to bid on Warner Bros. At the end of their conversation, Sardonos felt that “Netflix wouldn’t face immediate opposition from the White House.” This week, Netflix successfully won the bidding war for Warner, offering $82.7 billion. It’s well known that Paramount and its CEO David Ellison were eager to acquire the storied studio and its streaming assets. Ellison and his father, Larry Ellison, have close ties to the White House, and as part of their pitch to Warner, suggested that only...

Unless EA decides to sell off the 'Dead Space' IP to someone else, the sci-fi horror series has died a second death.
[VWestlife] purchased all kinds of USB video capture devices — many of them from the early 2000s — and put them through their paces in trying to digitize VHS classics like Instant Fireplace and Buying an Auxiliary Sailboat. The results were actually quite varied, but almost universally bad. They all worked, but they also brought unpleasant artifacts and side effects when it came to the final results. Sure, the analog source isn’t always the highest quality, but could it really be this hard to digitize a VHS tape? The best results for digitizing VHS came from an old Sony device that was remarkably easy to use on a more modern machine.

Friday, the EU slapped X with a €120 million fine (about $140 million) for violating the Digital Services Act (DSA). It was the first time that a company had been hit with a penalty for running afoul of the law. Elon Musk responded with his trademark tact and professionalism by posting “Bullshit” on X in response to the announcement from the European Commission. But that wasn’t the end, because just a day later Nikita Bier, X’s head of product, accused the Commission of abusing an exploit to boost the reach of the announcement and responded by shutting down its ad account. According to Bier, the Commission had not used its ad account since 2021, but used a post format explicitly reserved for ads in...

[Voria Labs] has created a whole bunch of artworks referred to as Lumanoi Interactive Light Sculptures. A new video explains the hardware behind these beautiful glowing pieces, as well as the magic that makes their interactivity work.
The basic architecture of the Lumanoi pieces starts with a custom main control board, based around the ESP-32-S3-WROOM-2. It’s got two I2C buses onboard, as well as an extension port with some GPIO breakouts. The controller also has lots of protection features and can shut down the whole sculpture if needed. The main control board works in turn with a series of daisy-chained “cell” boards attached via a 20-pin ribbon cable. The cable carries 24-volt power, a bunch of...

There are plenty of well-known models among the 8-bit machines of the 1980s, and most readers could rattle them off without a thought. They were merely the stars among a plethora of others, and even for a seasoned follower of the retrocomputing world, there are fresh models from foreign markets that continue to surprise and delight. [Dave Collins] is treating us to an in-depth look at the VTech VZ-200, a budget machine that did particularly well in Asian markets. On the way, we learn a lot about a very cleverly designed machine.
The meat of the design centres not around the Z80 microprocessor or the 6847 video chip, but the three 74LS chips handling both address decoding and timing for video RAM access. That...

It's easy to think about AI as a sort of existential battle between human and machine. Maybe it will be, someday, in a Skynet sort of way. But there are also lots of people trying to figure out how to use AI not as a replacement for human creativity and thinking but as a tool meant to augment those things.
Sari Azout is one of those people. She's the founder of Sublime, a platform dedicated to curation, creativity, and ideas. Sublime is all about taste, which makes it slightly surprising that there's a huge amount of AI powering the way it works. But to Azout, it all makes sense.

Google didn't invent the concept of smart glasses, but it did help make them mainstream. In retrospect, 13 years after their launch, this is both a good and bad thing. Glass made a lot of people dream about new ways to use computers without staring down at screens all day. Glass also made a lot of people realize just how bad it might feel to have a world full of face computers. Which is more predictive: Glass, or Glassholes? And can you even have one without the other?

Generally speaking, pirates tend to dislike restrictions, because more often than not, restrictions mean either less piracy or less convenient piracy.
News from Amazon last month indicated that apps linked to piracy would start to face new restrictions when sideloaded to Fire TV devices, although exactly how that would manifest itself was still unknown. The ‘announcement’ was ‘quietly’ delivered via the media and spread quickly. That produced predictable headlines, mostly warning of an Amazon Crackdown / Piracy Ban plus additional drama conjured up from nowhere.

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

C’est parfois compliqué à afficher correctement, parce que l’encodage des caractères n’est pas celui utilisé en 2025. Avec Safari, il faut faire Présentation -> Encodage du texte -> Japonais (ISO 2022-JP). Même comme ça, il manque quelques caractères, donc je suppose que c’est un encodage plus ancien.

C'est un exercice audacieux que de dresser le bilan d'un texte qui fête à peine ses vingt-cinq ans. Pourtant, ce bilan s'impose, à l'heure où les droits humains s'effritent, vacillent et semblent s'éroder un peu plus chaque jour. La guerre est de retour sur le continent européen, l'essor des nouvelles technologies oblige à repenser la protection des droits humains en ligne, l'Union européenne (UE) reste divisée sur les enjeux environnementaux — comme en témoigne sa désunion lors de la COP30 à Belém — et l'agence européenne Frontex est accusée de violations des droits humains depuis février 2025, une plainte historique actuellement examinée par la Cour de justice de l'Union européenne...
