Sarah Khalifa is best known for her TV programme Mission Impossible which dealt with crime issues.

Every new Premier League season starts with a warning about the cost of piracy, and this year is no different.
BeStreamWise, the anti-piracy campaign backed by Sky, the Premier League, FACT, the BBC and the UK Intellectual Property Office, among others, released a new report this week to highlight the ongoing challenge.
The campaign commissioned consultancy WPI Economics to put a number on illegal streaming. This resulted in a report titled “The Price of Piracy,” which estimates that illegal streaming results in £1.35 billion in missed revenue by UK broadcasters every year. That figure is then translated into 10,400 lost jobs and £366 million in missing tax income.

Vu sur eBay, un jeu Pippin @World très rare : CineNoir. Le vendeur l’a d’abord mis à 400 $, mais devant le manque d’enchères, il l’a proposé à 1 200 $ (parce que pourquoi pas). Il est parti probablement entre les deux. Le jeu est dans sa boîte, en état moyen mais encore sous blister. Ce n’est pas la première fois qu’il est vendu, même si c’est très rare, et une ISO peut se trouver en cherchant un peu.

Deux victimes sont en urgence absolue après ce drame survenu rue Paul-Verlaine, dans cette ville de Seine-Saint-Denis, en région parisienne.

Cette semaine, dans notre newsletter consacrée à ce que la presse étrangère écrit de meilleur et de pire sur l’Hexagone : une rentrée planifiée jusque dans la trousse d’école.

Enfant, il voulait devenir mathématicien. Lorsqu'il quitte la Chine à 11 ans pour s’installer en Californie, c'est la seule langue qu’il parle couramment à l'école. Rêveur compulsif, il grandit dans les livres, sans se douter qu’il deviendrait vingt ans plus tard l’un des prodiges de la science-fiction américaine. Auteur primé de plus de cent soixante-dix nouvelles et romans, il se révèle aussi un brillant traducteur d’œuvres de science-fiction sinophones. Un talent qui lui a valu le surnom médiatique d’« ambassadeur de la sf chinoise », une étiquette qu’il rejette fermement.

[Gadget Industry] bills it as “a PC inside a Mouse“, but that depends on your definition of a “PC”. This is a Personal Computer inside a mouse, yes, but there’s nothing IBM-compatible about the tiny ARM board he squeezes inside what’s normally a peripheral — it actually started life as a smartphone, which only takes this build up a notch compared to starting with a single-board computer like a Pi.
Specifically, he starts with a Galaxy S21 5G. Starting with a Samsung means he can leave the stock Android alone and just take advantage of Samsung’s DeX desktop mode, rather than layer a Linux environment on top or replace the operating system entirely with something like Postmarket OS, which are...

Les principales actualités de ces dernières heures vues par la presse internationale.

Les émissaires de Donald Trump, Steve Witkoff et Jared Kushner, se sont entretenus samedi avec Vladimir Poutine à Moscou, pour tenter de trouver une issue à la guerre en Ukraine. La partie russe a salué une rencontre “extrêmement franche”, alors que les deux Américains sont attendus dimanche à Kiev. Les belligérants ont accepté d’observer une trêve de trois jours pendant les discussions.

L’écrivain affirme clore son œuvre par cet extraordinaire geste d’écriture, sous le titre générique de « Retour au goudron », dans la perspective de sa propre fin. Repères de lecture.

Donnée à environ 40 % des intentions de vote dans les sondages, l’AfD pourrait remporter la majorité absolue dans ce Land de l’est de l’Allemagne. Un scénario inédit qui s’explique par des dynamiques régionales autant que par la progression nationale du parti. Décryptage en quatre questions.

Dans sa rubrique “Est-il vrai que… ? ”, le quotidien britannique “The Guardian” tente de répondre aux questions que l’on s’est toutes et tous déjà posées. Cette semaine, on apprend à renforcer sa ceinture abdominale tout en préservant son dos.

Les visites du président du RN au Royaume-Uni et en Italie, vendredi et samedi, destinées à soigner l’image du parti sur la scène européenne, ont viré au fiasco, achoppant sur les dossiers de l’immigration et de l’aide à l’Ukraine.

Sur Twitch et les réseaux sociaux, ses vidéos touchent des millions d’internautes, souvent éloignés de la politique. Cet influenceur très controversé est devenu un révélateur des clivages démocrates. “The Wall Street Journal” brosse son portrait.

Avant leur première visite à Kiev prévue ce dimanche, les envoyés du président américain Steve Witkoff et Jared Kushner étaient de nouveau à Moscou samedi. Aucune percée dans les négociations de paix n’a été annoncée après leur rencontre de trois heures avec le président russe.

It will be the first trip by Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, Trump's top negotiators, to Kyiv.

With the recent release of its GPT-6 Astra model, OpenAI explicitly pushed the claim that it is capable of designing complete circuit boards in KiCad, starting from a provided schematic and outputting a fully routed PCB that theoretically could be sent off to be manufactured. This of course raises the question whether this is just a nifty party trick that works under strictly controlled conditions like most auto-routing tools, or whether there’s more to it. In a recent [EEBench] blog post, OpenAI’s claims are put to the test. Back in 2024, we looked at how LLMs handle circuit board design, starting with the schematic. The conclusion was that you might as well just do it all by hand. Tracking progress here,...

Chandika Shrestha was airlifted to hospital after spending more than 10 days in her partially buried house.

The computer business in 1984 was a bizarre mix of hobby-level companies, a few small companies that had made it big, and a lot of big companies starting to take notice of personal computers. Plenty of money followed, which led to strange products and even stranger ads. [Such Bad Tech Ads] reveals a very bad ad from that time for a product we have barely heard of: the Spartan. The Spartan’s job was to convert your Commodore 64 so it could run Apple ][ software. The ad campaign had, inexplicably, a mime. We think. Or maybe a clown. Hard to say.
On the face of it, the Spartan might not be a bad idea. In 1984, there was plenty of Apple software. Well, relatively, anyway. But a Commodore computer was far...

The US says it hit three Iranian oil tankers, while Iran says it targeted three US-linked ships.

It costs several thousand dollars, and it’s a fun ride—even without a battery.

This is the tech that most impressed us at IFA 2026 in Berlin.

Around the world in 80 WAVs. | Screenshot: Terrence O’Brien / The Verge I love field recordings. I love making them. I love them when they're incorporated into my ambient music. They're great background noise for working or sleeping. But they're also great for active listening, focusing in on the fine nuances of burbling brooks or urban chaos. Earth Garden gives you a globe to explore with real field recordings taken from various locations. Earth Garden is inspired by Radio Garden (which you should also check out) except, instead of exploring the world via radio, it's environmental sounds. There are waves lapping at the shores of remote islands in the Atlantic, a chorus of crickets in Tanzania, and rainfall...

When iOS 27 lands later this month, it will have a feature called iPhone Handoff that lets you switch between two phones using the same number. It was briefly mentioned during the WWDC keynote back in June, but there were no details at the time. Now there's a demo clip showing how to set up the feature running in Xcode 27's Device Hub. It lets you pair two iPhones, using one as your main device and the other as its "companion." Launching the feature now makes sense with the expected launch of the foldable iPhone Ultra right around the corner. People might not always want to take a chunky and extremely expensive device out with them. So Han …

In which case, we should expect more meltdowns.

Although we often find ourselves drowning in a seemingly unending sea of portable devices that are effectively e-waste once an internal component gives out, it’s good to remind ourselves that there are a few examples out there by large brands that manage to tick all the fancy feature boxes, while still being very much repairable. Case in point the Pixel Watch 5, a smart watch which much like its predecessor gets a 9/10 on [iFixit]’s repairability score.
No heat gun required, just undo the latch on the side of the watch.
Despite featuring an IP68 rating, opening it is as easy as taking out a few screws to release its latch. This allows the back to swing open, with not a drop of glue in sight, just an...

[Adafruit]’s Voicebox FX gadget is a fun, well-documented project that serves another useful purpose: being a fantastic reference design for audio on CircuitPython, with I2S audio components. Be sure to check it out if you have a project that involves any of that and could use a few pointers, or if you just want to jog a few ideas loose.
I2S (Inter-IC Sound) is a protocol aimed squarely at moving audio data between components as digital signals. Our own [Jenny List] can tell you everything you need to know about I2S. It’s a relatively simple interface that is not at all fussy about actually being used for audio, and that has led to it being put to some unusual uses.
The Voicebox FX uses an I2S microphone,...

There’s some real gems in there. | Photo: Terrence O’Brien / The Verge According to the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), CD sales exploded in the first half of 2026. A new report from the organization says 17.5 million CDs were sold in the first six months of the year, up from just 12 million during the same period in 2025. That's a jump of 45.7 percent, and 58.6 percent in dollars, which reached $171.1 million. What makes this all the more shocking is that CD sales actually shrank 22 percent from 2024 to 2025. The RIAA isn't the only one to notice the boom in CD sales. In July, research firm Luminate released a report saying that 16.3 million units were sold in the first half of 2026. It...

Andy Holloway cohosts the Fantasy Footballers podcast with his friends Jason Moore and Mike Wright. The show is one of the premier fantasy sports podcasts, netting over 2 million monthly listeners and numerous awards, including Best Sports Podcast from iHeartRadio and People's Choice at the Podcast Awards four years in a row.
Holloway's goal has always been about bringing fantasy football to a wider audience, not just hardcore nerds. With the NFL season starting next week and fantasy drafts in full swing, now seemed like a great time to see how Holloway stays focused during what is probably the busiest part of the year for a serious fantasy …

The USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center. | Getty Images During Naomi Osaka's match against Anastasia Zakharova at this year's US Open earlier this week, a gaggle of ring light-wielding influencers who were packed in a luxury suite became enough of a distraction that the umpire paused the match and repeatedly asked them to quiet down. Elsewhere in the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center, other creators could be seen asking US Open staffers to take full-flash photos of them while Osaka and Zakharova were playing.

Il y a quelques années, j’avais parlé des Easter Egg de Duke Nukem 3D sur Mac. Nicolas, il y a quelques mois, est venu me demander si je pouvais trouver les images de ces derniers pour les intégrer dans un mod (qui n’est pas encore disponible). Et ce n’était pas si simple. Je commence par le plus simple, de fait : la vidéo de la publicité 1984. Elle s’active dans le premier niveau, dans le cinéma, en tapant DN1984.
Trouver la vidéo n’a pas été un réel problème. J’ai ouvert l’ISO du disque du jeu sur un Mac capable de lire le HFS (jusqu’à macOS Mojave) et elle se trouve dans /Music/1984. C’est juste un fichier QuickTime sans extension, donc on peut l’ouvrir avec QuickTime Player...

As more money flows into the medium, professionally designed sets that mimic domestic backdrops have become the go-to ingredient for keeping things candid.I have to imagine I’m not the only person who has said to a friend, "We should start a podcast." I have a clear memory of having this conversation with a former roommate after one of our frequent evening debriefs, sitting on opposite sides of our gray, L-shaped sofa beneath a gallery wall, our legs tucked under blankets and kicked up on the water-stained West Elm storage coffee table sourced from Facebook Marketplace. If we had started a podcast (we didn’t), that table is probably where we would’ve set up microphones to casually record our ramblings....

The material can discolor and is hard to patch. We spoke with architects who used it in projects covered by Dwell to find out how they’re looking now.Plywood has been a staple of modernist design since the 1940s, when American architects began transforming it into Dri-Bilt homes. Today, it lines houses around the world from ceiling to floor, as architects take full advantage of its ease of manufacturing, flexible structure, and distinctive grain. And while its aesthetic appeal has lasted almost a century, it’s not the first material that comes to mind when considering durability. But, as we found out, those who’ve worked with the materials themselves beg to differ. For a ground-up, net-zero house in the...
