Les manettes de Wii et celles des consoles Nintendo Mini utilisent un connecteur dédié, mais un protocole bien documenté. Et pour ceux qui veulent jouer avec les manettes en question sur un PC ou un Mac, pour des émulateurs, il existe des adaptateurs. Les manettes de Wii utilisent un protocole série bien documenté, l’I2C, mais il existe des adaptateurs USB. Celui que j’ai acheté se trouve assez facilement, un JC-W01UWH de chez Elecom. Il propose une prise USB-A, un câble de 1 mètre et une prise femelle pour les accessoires de la Wii. Il est aussi compatible avec les manettes des consoles Mini de chez Nintendo. Il a l’avantage de fonctionner sans pilotes : il est simplement reconnu comme un...

When working on an electronic project it’s likely you will find yourself working with a variety of different instruments, be they logic analysers, oscilloscopes, or whatever. These can take up a lot of space, not to mention cost a bundle of cash. [Max.K] came up with PicoLab as a solution, it’s an all-in-one box containing a 4-channel oscilloscope, 8-channel logic analyser, GPIOs, a data logger, and serial, SPI, and i2C interfaces. There’s even an adjustable power supply!
Behind it all is an RP2350, in its larger package with more pins, coupled to some custom interface and protection circuitry. Perhaps the cleverest part is its interface, which it serves as a web site on the network card it exposes...

Four officials told Reuters they are investigating a suspected hack of military base commissary freezers.

Some MiSTer users put a small secondary “marquee” display on the FPGA board that can show information about the system such as the currently loaded core and what game it happens to be running. Generally these take the form of a small monochrome OLED display, likely the one most of us have sitting in a parts bin somewhere.
But [Erico Mendonca] wanted a something with a bit more style, so he’s come up with a firmware for the ESP32-C3 that connects to MiSTer’s existing secondary display protocol but works with slightly more visually impressive panels such as the round GC9A01 that so many hackers have been playing with as of late. If the whole circular display thing isn’t your…thing, you can even run...

Erin Patterson argued her trial was unfair due to seven grounds but three appeal judges dismissed them all.

Curry Barker, the director behind the hit horror film Obsession, just published a new horror short on YouTube. The short, titled "Mama Bear," is nearly five minutes long. The video is pretty unnerving, and fair warning that it gets a little graphic, but it's a fun one to watch if you're looking for something scary ahead of Halloween on Saturday.
Barker wrote, directed, and edited "Mama Bear," according to the description for the video, which was published on his that's a bad idea YouTube channel. The description also has a note thanking Windows for "sponsoring this short film," and Barker was featured in an Instagram video earlier this week …

During Intel's latest earnings call, CEO Lip-Bu Tan said that demand for its budget-focused Wildcat Lake chips "is outstripping supply." According to CFO David Zinsner, the chips are now sold out. Zinsner said Intel has "seen significant growth in Wildcat Lake. It's coming exactly at the right time because it's cost-optimized and we're seeing a lot of focus in that regard."
As shortages of RAM and other components have driven up PC prices over recent months, Intel's Wildcat Lake chips have been appearing in new lower-cost Windows laptops on par with the MacBook Neo, like the new Dell XPS 13 or the HP Omnibook 5 14. Wildcat Lake laptops like …

Although most archaeological finds from ancient civilizations aren’t quite as exciting as what you might expect from the movies, occasionally you come across something that’s truly special. The Lycurgus Cup is one of those, with the 3rd or 4th century CE glass cup and its incredible detail surviving likely because it ended up in church treasuries after the fall of the Western Roman Empire. Now its almost magical dichroic glass effect has been recreated in a modern take by researchers at the University of Sheffield.

Reddit CEO Steve Huffman said in an earnings call today that Google's AI-powered search modes do not help with traffic to the platform, echoing problems facing other websites and publishers. As part of its Q3 2026 earnings, Reddit revealed that search traffic in October has "dropped by more than 1 million referrals on average per week," and he attributes part of the company's struggles with Google traffic to how AI Mode and AI Overviews change the search experience.
"The reality is, AI Mode does not drive traffic," Huffman says. "Not for us, and not to anybody, as far as I know. That's just a fundamental shift in how Google works. It used t …

“Two years after four dams were removed from the Klamath River in 2024 — the largest dam removal project in U.S. history — water quality monitoring shows dramatic improvement. Toxic algal blooms have all but disappeared, dissolved oxygen is up, sediment is moving naturally again, and seasonal river temperatures have returned to their natural rhythm. Key takeaways Toxic algal blooms that once made the river unsafe for people and pets have all but disappeared. Low dissolved oxygen, which contributed to fish disease, is much improved.

“Atoll islands with native vegetation and thriving seabird populations are 'naturally active systems that can change and adapt to their environmental conditions if they are allowed to do so,' said Nick Graham, a marine ecologist at Lancaster University in the United Kingdom, who led an international team of scientists that studied island resilience across 28 atoll islands in the Pacific and Indian oceans. Their paper, published Wednesday in Science Advances, shows that restoring atoll ecosystems reinforces their growth. Seabirds ferry nutrients from the open ocean and deposit them on the atolls as guano that nurtures land plants, marine life and coral growth. This provides more material for reef building, as...

“The government of Iraq has decided to eliminate customs duties on solar energy systems imported into the country… The removal of customs duties follows a formal proposal submitted by Iraq’s Electricity Minister, Ali Saadi Waheeb, to the Prime Minister last month, which requested a reduction in customs duties on solar energy systems. The rate was originally as high as 33% but was reduced to 5% in February this year with the reduction covering PV panels, cables, inverters and lithium batteries.” From pv magazine.

Reddit is announcing a huge shift: It's going to start requiring users to log in.
Right now, you can browse Reddit without having an account, and the site is generally a great resource for crowdsourced information on a whole range of topics. I know I'm not the only person who appends "reddit" to a lot of Google searches to find answers to things written by actual humans instead of robots. But that openness has made it a target for scraping and automated traffic, leading Reddit to file lawsuits over alleged unauthorized access of its data and make product changes like limiting access to "Old Reddit."

We’re living at an interesting time here in 2026, when microcontrollers are becoming powerful enough to surpass the capabilities of “real” computers from a time when those real computers were starting to become useful. We’ve seen plenty of microcontrollers emulating machines from the 1990s, but what if instead they were giving all their power to the OS? It’s a question [Thomas] is trying to answer with SylphideOS, a general purpose GUI operating system aimed at multiple microcontroller platforms.
On the surface it has a GUI that appears to owe a lot to the early Macintosh machines, but underneath it has the FreeRTOS kernel, something that has been around for quite a while. You can argue among...

Homes built without a confirmed buyer have a reputation for being bland and unimaginative, but some developers have found approaches that allow for more creativity without alienating their clientele.The first thing to know about spec houses—homes that were built without a confirmed buyer—is that the people creating the most interesting ones may not even realize they’re building them at all. "Spec houses, ew," quipped one source I reached out to. But then they thought about it some more: "I guess that is what we’re doing." The hesitation is understandable: For many, the phrase "spec home" conjures up a particular image of bland, conformist design—something created to appeal to the largest number of...
