Plusieurs affaires judiciaires récentes montrent que les viols sous soumission chimique n’ont rien d’exceptionnel, analyse “Falter”. Souvent commis par des proches des victimes, ces crimes demeurent pourtant largement impunis. Le magazine autrichien s’est demandé pourquoi.

Après avoir vécu durant douze ans à Londres, ce couple d’Irlandais s’est installé dans le Tarn en 2019. Malgré leurs racines gaéliques, leurs deux fils “ont la France dans le sang”, raconte la mère dans le quotidien britannique “The Times”. Tandis que le premier est “très versé dans le mélo” et “apprécie la beauté dans le quotidien”, le deuxième, né dans l’Hexagone, “a les manières d’un vrai petit Tarnais”.

Les législatives du 27 octobre en Israël sont sans doute les plus déterminantes de son existence. Les élections de mi-mandat, le 3 novembre aux États-Unis, détermineront la capacité de l’administration Trump à poursuivre son calendrier politique. Dans “The New York Times”, l’éditorialiste Thomas Friedman observe qu’avec ces deux échéances, “c’est l’avenir de la démocratie dans ces deux nations qui est en jeu”.

Schopenhauer, Beauvoir et Nietzsche nous mettent en garde : le bonheur endort l’esprit, rappelle l’auteur Mark Edmundson dans “The New York Times”.

Le texte offre un éventail sans précédent de mesures contre Moscou et ses partenaires, parmi lesquels l’Inde et la Chine, mais de nombreux élus démocrates regrettent qu’il donne à la Maison Blanche le pouvoir d’imposer des droits de douane de 100 % à n’importe quel pays, sans contrôle.

Le président de la République a réuni, vendredi 18 septembre, à l’Elysée, les candidats à l’élection présidentielle et les chefs de formations politiques pour une présentation confidentielle de l’état de la menace, alors que les attaques et les accidents suspects se multiplient en Europe.

Le président américain a évoqué, vendredi 18 septembre, le développement d’une « large présence militaire » sur le territoire arctique, renonçant de fait aux velléités d’annexion qui avaient ouvert une crise avec ses alliés.

If you’ve used MicroPython much, you know that debugging usually amounts to printing a few things out, trying your code out, and then repeating. But [ghi-electronics] wants you to have full on-chip source-code debugging in Visual Studio. You don’t need anything special to use it — just a supported MicroPython host and the same USB cable you program with now.
The downside is that you either have to build a custom MicroPython image and flash it or use one that they include. They support several Raspberry Pi Pico versions and ESP32 chips, as well. However, at least one “odd” Pico we had lying around wouldn’t take the firmware. A stock one did, and it worked as you would expect. A little more...

One source told CNN that the "hallucination" was part of a trend in the U.S. military, not an isolated incident.

The US president has had a tense and fiery relationship with the US media throughout his political career.

In 1982, desktop computers were coming into their own, and no clear leaders had emerged. But everyone knew they wanted a piece of the action. This led to, among other things, Sony’s SMC-70, which, frankly, for 1982, was a good-looking, if not oddball, machine. [Tech Tangents] shows the machine off in a recent video.
From the front, the computer looks more-or-less like everything else. But as you move backward, you can see this computer wasn’t another typical entry into the market. One of the things that was the hallmark of successful business computers of the day was expandability. The earlier Altair had the later-titled S100 bus. The IBM PC had the ISA bus. But in both cases, you had to open the box to...

Recently unsealed court documents in the New York Times' case against OpenAI and Microsoft are pretty damning. The companies' own documentation warned that it was starting a "doom loop" that would damage the web, characterized its scraping of data to train its models as the "largest theft of labor in human history," and that it made a "complete mockery of the idea of fair use."
Many of the most eye-catching quotes from the document come from Microsoft's Director of Applied Science, Brent Hecht. Though, the company has tried to distance itself from Hecht's assertions. Microsoft spokesperson Alex Haurek told The Verge that "These comments ref …

In the cross-over between the era of tapes into that of MP3s, you’d see quite a few of those special cassette tapes that were actually digital music players inside. Some simply provided a 3.5 mm input, while others were complete MP3 players or Bluetooth receivers that just happened to also output to the magnetic read head of a cassette player. Recently [Jonathan Rowny] decided to make his own version of the latter.
Although getting the actual audio signal into the read head is easy enough – requiring little more than its equivalent being used as a write head on the cassette side – actually interfacing with the player’s mechanisms like auto-stop, reverse and so on requires the use of some gearing that...

“A species lost for over a century is once again shaping northern Mexico’s landscape. The American bison, a species that once roamed across vast stretches of northern Mexico, has been reintroduced to parts of its historical range after being hunted to near extinction in the late 19th century. What began as a single conservation herd in Chihuahua has grown into a multi-state recovery effort that is now showing measurable ecological results.” From Yucatán Magazine.

“The White-rumped Vulture (WRV; Gyps bengalensis), endemic to South and Southeast Asia, was once possibly the most abundant large raptor in the world. In 1985, renowned vulture expert, David Houston, wrote ‘It is very abundant throughout India… …Its ability to live alongside man probably makes it the least vulnerable of all vultures…’. Yet it was this close relationship with humans that ultimately led to the species’ downfall and near extinction, when millions of vultures were unintentionally poisoned by the veterinary drug diclofenac. This led to declines of more than 90% across South Asia… Nepal has been particularly successful in eliminating diclofenac from the veterinary market, which has...

Before moving to land grid array (LGA) packaging whereby each pin on the substrate is just a copper pad, processors commonly used pin grid array (PGA) packaging, including the still highly relevant AMD AM4 socket. With PGA you get a pin soldered onto the copper pad which inserts into the ZIF socket, rather than a fragile pin on the mainboard side. Repairing a damaged PGA pin can be easy if just the pin broke off at the solder joint, or rough if the pad was destroyed, as in the case of this Pentium III CPU that [Bits und Bolts] recently tried to fix.
In the case of something like a ground pin or similarly unimportant pin you can ignore the damage, but in this case it concerned an important pin for this 1.2 GHz...

Virginia Gov. Abigail Spanberger ordered the state government to take steps that could empower local communities to have a larger say in data center development and slow down approvals in a state that is already home to the data center capital of the world.

Designer and professor Monique Lizardo discusses how Indigenous body markings—plus ceramics, weavings, and other art forms—can reveal a lot about how past societies looked and functioned.In April 2023, Vogue premiered its oldest cover model: 106-year-old Apo Whang-Od, an Indigenous Kalinga tattoo artist who was preserving the ancient practice of traditional batok in the Philippines. The hand-tapped etchings of diamonds and woven patterns on Whang-Od’s body stood out to Monique Lizardo, a Filipino-Canadian architectural designer and professor, when she saw the magazine, but it wasn’t until she went back to the Philippines in December of that same year to get tattooed by Whang-Od that her research on...

It's one of the most fascinating years in a while when it comes to iPhone camera upgrades. The big story of the iPhone 18 Pro is the variable aperture main lens, which lets you open the aperture up wider for better low light shots and make the aperture smaller for better depth of field in group photos. But all I can get anyone to talk about is the software upgrades: it turns out, they're a lot more useful day to day than the aperture on a camera this small.
This week on The Vergecast, David Imel and Allison Johnson are here for a deep dive into the iPhone 18 Pro's camera. There's a lot to explore here, from the aperture, to the camera app's …

Depuis son arrivée à l’Elysée, le président français accorde beaucoup d’importance à ses relations avec les souverains pontifes. Ses invitations répétées, ses entorses au protocole et ses « familiarités » ont parfois été vécues comme des « tentatives de récupération ».
