L’ex-Marine américain Robert Gilman, incarcéré en Russie pendant quatre ans et demi, a été gracié par Vladimir Poutine et relâché ce mardi 11 août. Cette libération, pour laquelle le chef du Kremlin n’aurait exigé aucune contrepartie, interroge la presse russe et anglophone, qui revient sur une affaire rocambolesque jusque dans son dénouement.
Entre une croissance qui se maintient officiellement à 5 % d’une part et la dégradation du marché de l’emploi combinée à la stagnation de la consommation de l’autre, la revue du Parti communiste “Qiushi” reconnaît l’existence d’un “écart de température” – une expression qui avait pourtant été censurée quelques mois plus tôt. Le signe d’un profond dilemme pour Pékin.

This event will give the world a taste of our future climate, according to a new analysis.
[Stephen] had an interesting piece of hardware at home—namely, a Flume water monitor. It’s a smart device which reports usage data to Flume’s servers, and the water utility in turn. He’d previously determined how the device worked mechanically to monitor water flow, but he had a greater goal—figuring out how to sniff the reported data as it passed through his network on its way to Flume servers.
The Flume rig has a sensor installed in the water line, which communicates to a bridge device that then hooks up to the Internet. [Stephen] had an early win, figuring out how to trick the bridge unit of the Flume water sensor into sending data in plaintext. This was as simple as corrupting the public key in...

“Turkish lawmakers approved conditional amnesties for members of a Kurdish separatist group in an attempt to end one of the world’s longest insurgencies. The law, which parliament passed late Monday, calls for the full disarmament of the Kurdistan Workers’ Party, commonly known as the PKK, and suspends the sentences of some of its former militants. The group’s armed, four-decade insurrection against the North Atlantic Treaty Organization’s second-largest army has left tens of thousands of people dead across Turkey, Iraq and Syria, most of them Kurds. Amounting to a de-facto peace accord, the historic settlement represents a definitive step by Ankara to build on a ceasefire that began after the PKK...
“This summer has been a hot one for many countries. With an extremely strong (and potentially record-breaking) El Niño on the way, next year is likely to be even hotter… If you’ve followed this Substack for a while, you’ll know that I often do periodic updates on how global food production has been faring in a warming world… As a very quick overview, here is how global yields and production of four of the largest crops are tracking this year. I guess the global summary so far would be, in one word: ‘fine’? Corn and wheat yields and production are down slightly from last year, but are the second-highest on record. Rice production looks similar, but yields may be on track for a record (albeit a...
“Deforestation in the Brazilian Amazon has fallen to its lowest level in 13 years, according to new satellite data from Brazil’s National Institute for Space Research (INPE), continuing a decline that began after President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva returned to office in 2023. INPE’s DETER alert system detected 2,874 square kilometers (1,110 square miles) of deforestation in the Amazon between August 1, 2025, and July 31, 2026. That was 36% below the previous 12-month period and 55.6% below the average of the preceding decade. The total is the lowest since INPE introduced the current DETER system in 2015. Including data from its predecessor system, the last time alerts were lower was the 2012/13...
“The Bank of Central African States (BEAC) has officially joined the Pan-African Payment and Settlement System (PAPSS), marking a significant step in strengthening Africa’s cross-border payment infrastructure and opening a new chapter for financial integration in Central Africa while driving greater intra-African trade. As one of only two regional central banks on the continent, BEAC serves the six member countries of the Central African Economic and Monetary Community (CEMAC)—Cameroon, Central African Republic, Republic of Congo, Gabon, Equatorial Guinea and Chad. Its participation provides PAPSS with a strategic entry point into Francophone Africa and significantly expands the reach of the network...

“Tropical cyclones are among the most dangerous and costly weather phenomena, yet forecasting them remains a profound scientific challenge. Here, we introduce WeatherNext Cyclones (WN-C), an AI operational weather model producing state-of-the-art ensemble forecasts for track, intensity, and size of tropical cyclones worldwide. Trained on a combination of global analysis data1 and a global database of historical tropical cyclones2,3, WN-C generates large ensembles of possible global weather and cyclone scenarios extending 15 days into the future. Evaluated on tropical cyclones from 2023–2025, the track, intensity and wind radii predictions from WN-C offer an average of a day or more of lead time advantage...

For RPG fans who dig Persona-style turn-based action and who are pursuing games with original stories and fantastic tunes, look no further than Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. This praise might come off sounding weird, but I really like that Sandfall Interactive’s breakout hit isn’t overly long compared to RPGs it was inspired by. It’s worth buying while it’s $33.17 at Amazon (requires you to clip the coupon, originally $49.99). This is a rare opportunity to save quite a bit on one of 2025’s best games, though it’s on Xbox Game Pass if you subscribe to that. Unfortunately, the deal is only available for the Xbox Series X version and doesn’t extend to PlayStation 5. On PC, you can grab a Steam code...

After a multi-year hiatus, the venerable BugTraq mailing list is back!
For decades, BugTraq was the place where vulnerabilities were disclosed, from the early days when nearly all vendors viewed all security research as a hostile force, through to the modern era of working with vendors to coordinate disclosing bugs. With the rise of bug bounty programs and other social changes, the mailing list slowly died: what started in 1993 ended in 2021 is returning. The new maintainer, Jonathan Brossard, says in his announcement “The mission is unchanged: full disclosure, researcher-first, no corporate filter.”

Selon l'institution de la rue de Montpensier, cette loi "porte une atteinte disproportionnée à la liberté d'expression et de communication", est-il écrit dans un communiqué publié vendredi 14 août.

En France, les députés de l'Assemblée nationale ont définitivement adopté la création d'une aide à mourir, le 15 juillet. Un texte validé par le Conseil constitutionnel le 14 août, avec trois réserves d'interprétation (voir plus bas). Les conditions d'accès à ce droit diffèrent toutefois largement en Europe. Plusieurs pays, comme les Pays-Bas et la Belgique, ont légalisé l'euthanasie active depuis plus de vingt ans. L'euthanasie active désigne le fait d'abréger intentionnellement les souffrances d'une personne. Un médecin ou un tiers va par exemple injecter une substance entraînant directement la mort du patient. L'euthanasie passive ou indirecte se produit lorsque l'équipe médicale en...
Dans une décision rendue vendredi 14 août, l’institution assure « la liberté personnelle » d’un malade d’accéder à l’administration d’une substance létale à sa demande et après accord d’un médecin. En revanche, la décision exempte les établissements privés et associatifs de l’obligation de permettre la réalisation d’une aide à mourir dans leurs murs.

The Clip Pro are the first clip-style earbuds from CMF, Nothing’s budget sub-brand. Clip earbuds are an exercise in compromise. It's an inherent aspect of their design - and physics. They can be more comfortable for people that don't like something jammed in their ear, but sound response suffers. Ambient awareness is great because you can easily hear the sound around you, which means to hear your own music the buds need to be turned up and potentially leak sound out to your neighbors. For what they offer, they can also get pricey, with popular pairs from Bose, Sony, and Shokz reaching $200. The CMF Clip Pro, though, are under $100, and while they still have those compromises, they handle them well.

The China-focused large language model was developed in partnership with Alibaba and trained with the company's support, Reuters reports, citing three unnamed people familiar with the matter. Developing a custom model of its own marks a departure from Apple's previous strategy in the country and would give the company more control over its products in the competitive Chinese smartphone market.

Six chercheurs d'UC San Diego et d'Oberlin College ont présenté le 13 août dernier à l'USENIX Security Symposium de Baltimore un implant assez petit qui se branche sur un port de maintenance de la baie électronique d'un Boeing 737 et s'intercale ainsi entre le calculateur de vol et l'écran par lequel les pilotes le programment.

17 % des Européens vivent dans des foyers qui n'offrent pas suffisamment d'espace pour vivre, estime le Parlement européen - Crédits : dconvertini / Wikimedia Commons CC BY-SA 2.0 Dans l'Union européenne, le logement est devenu une urgence sociale. Selon le Parlement européen, près de 10 % des ménages doivent consacrer plus de 40 % de leurs revenus à leur toit, un niveau considéré comme critique par les institutions européennes.

Cependant, le droit au logement ainsi que l'aide sociale sont consacrés par la Charte des droits fondamentaux (art. 34), et les...
If you ask a random person who [John Mauchly] or [J. Presper Eckert] were, you’d probably get a blank stare. Ask a Hackaday reader, and you have a better shot. People who know will tell you that the two were behind the famous ENIAC, which may or may not have been the first computer, but was certainly influential in kicking off the modern computer era. They worked at Penn, and now [Holly Mengel] of Penn’s Kislak Center for Special Collections, Rare Books, and Manuscripts wants to introduce us to the other computers they worked on after ENIAC.

Japanese publishing giant KADOKAWA is known for responding aggressively to copyright infringers, including creators who share narrated recaps of its content on YouTube. These channels are highly popular and generate many millions of views. While they only use clips from anime shows, often with narration and commentary, the publisher equates it to piracy. In January, KADOKAWA tried to unmask three YouTubers, each with hundreds of thousands of subscribers, through a U.S. federal court. The company requested a DMCA subpoena, compelling YouTube to expose their identifying information. These subpoenas are often a mere formality and only need a signature of a court clerk to be issued. However, in this case, YouTube...
