“Barbados has eliminated mother-to-child transmission of HIV as a public health problem, the World Health Organization (WHO) announced, marking a major public health milestone resulting from years of sustained efforts to ensure babies are born free of HIV… Barbados now joins a group of 26 countries and territories worldwide recognized by WHO for eliminating mother-to-child transmission (EMTCT) of HIV, syphilis or hepatitis B, or for being on track to achieve it. Fifteen are in the Americas, making the region the global leader in these achievements. Certification by WHO follows an independent assessment confirming that Barbados met the global targets on elimination of mother-to-child transmission of HIV....

“Over the past few months, we’ve used an unreleased, internal research model to find critical vulnerabilities in some of the world’s most widely used software, such as browsers and operating systems. In this post, we share details of five attack chains, which led to remote code execution and other critical impacts with little to no user interaction. These attack chains demonstrate the model’s ability to create sophisticated, multi-step exploits in both open-source and proprietary software. Any vulnerabilities in these products could affect billions of users. They’re also among the most security-critical software in the world, making them a bellwether for testing models’ vulnerability research and...

“A decision by U.S. regulators promises to speed the delivery of a powerful HIV prevention tool in low-income countries with high infection rates. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) today gave its seal of approval to a generic version of injectable lenacapavir, which can protect from HIV infection for 6 months. Its Indian manufacturer, Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories, has pledged to sell the drug for just $40 per person per year, and FDA’s approval is widely expected to lead to licensing in countries where the company is allowed to market it… Gilead had agreed to provide LEN PrEP at a 'not-for-profit' price to the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis, and Malaria, which funds disease prevention and...

“Britain's largest ever woodland survey of bats would 'simply not have been feasible' without AI, scientists say. Researchers left devices on poles among the trees of 310 woodlands across Britain, recording 98 million bat calls over three years, which would have taken more than 30 years to analyse without AI. Some of Britain's rarest and most threatened bats, including the red-listed Barbastelle, have been recorded in the south-west of England, including Somerset, Devon, Cornwall and Dorset. Kate Jones, from University College London, said: 'AI has fundamentally changed the scale at which we can monitor wildlife.'” From BBC.

AMD CEO Lisa Su said in the company's quarterly earnings call on Tuesday that Q3 2026 was "was the largest and most profitable in our history." AMD reported a record $13.4 billion in quarterly revenue, and it's predicting it will hit another record high next quarter of $17 billion. The company's data center business is driving that growth, with $8.5 billion in data center quarterly revenue for Q3 2026. Su said AMD's expecting its revenue to "grow more than 80 percent in 2027," adding that "data center will be the largest contributor."
Eventually, most of AMD's revenue might come from its data center business. In response to a question durin …

Ahead of the release of Rockstar Games’ Grand Theft Auto VI, Nintendo is launching its own fall juggernaut: a Switch 2 remake of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. The remake, which is releasing 28 years after the launch of the original version on Nintendo 64, has a much more realistic visual style and some modern improvements like a jump button, a way to sprint, full voice acting, and a “Threads of Time” feature that helps you keep track of your progress. But while the game has a new coat of paint, it appears many elements will still remain faithful to the classic N64 release. Nintendo has also launched a special version of the Switch 2 and Switch 2 Pro Controller with Triforce imagery to celebrate...

The PC gaming mods repository Nexus Mods is making disclosures about AI mandatory for uploads of new mods, meaning that mod authors will have to declare "whether AI has been used in their work," the site announced today as part of a big post about AI-generated content on the platform.
"One of the most consistent concerns we've heard is that it's not clearly disclosed when AI has been used to create a mod," according to the post from site owner Victor "Foledinho" Folmann. "We already have tags for AI-generated and AI-assisted mods, but we recognise that there's a lot more we can do to make that information more accessible and clear for you a …

Les bureaux de vote ferment aux Etats-Unis, et les résultats commencent à tomber. Plus de 58 millions d’Américains ont déjà voté par anticipation – un record pour des élections de mi-mandat, qui pourraient cette fois-ci voir les démocrates prendre le contrôle de la Chambre des représentants, voire du Sénat, et compromettre la fin du mandat de Donald Trump.

Here's your warning!

There’s an old joke about inviting a girl up to your dorm room to ‘look at your etchings’– but if you’re going to do that, you’d best have some etchings, lest she call your bluff. Even better would be to have prints available, so you might share your hard work with adoring fans. Over on YouTube, [This Designed That] shows building the perfect little etching press  so you need never invite anyone to your room again: you can crank out enough prints on this bad boy to hand out your etchings on a street corner!
Crank is the right word, because it’s hand-cranked, with the rollers chain-driven off a separate driveshaft. It works like, well, a roller press: two steel rollers squeeze a plattern holding...

Canva is making significant changes affecting 1,271 people, which is 22 percent of its staff, co-founder and CEO Melanie Perkins announced today. "For some people, this will mean changes to their roles or being asked to relocate to centralised hubs," says Perkins. "Sadly, it will also mean saying goodbye to teammates and friends who have helped build Canva into what it is today."
In her note to staff, Perkins says that: After exploring a wide range of alternatives, I've come to the difficult conclusion that small changes won't be enough. To set ourselves up for the next decade, we need to refound Canva, getting back to our roots of small, …

The great thing about the modern world is how connected we are. It’s also the worst thing about the modern world, to be honest. [Allan Binder] wanted to give his toddler the very best of that, and escape the worst, with a specially-designed telephone to call Grandma with– and not get scam calls in turn. We’re not going to say his build guide is so thorough a toddler could follow it, but it’s not too far off.
The device is very simple: a commercial ‘retro-style’ handset pairs with an ESP32-S3 over USB. Said ESP32, aside from acting as a USB host, runs a minimal Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) client, which connects via WiFi to a VoIP account the parent has set up. In this case, [Allan] is using...

Le jour des élections de mi-mandat, le président américain a déclaré, sans concertation apparente ni détails, vouloir en finir avec le soutien de 3,8 milliards de dollars annuels à l’Etat hébreu. Une décision qui semble influencée par le retournement de l’opinion publique américaine.

The idea that magnetism doesn’t necessarily always have a dipolar configuration is not a new one, but it’s not an easy theory to find evidence for. Most recently a team of scientists at the University of Toronto used a new method involving vibrational energy in the form of phonons to find evidence for an octupolar magnetic order.
In the associated paper in Physical Review Letters (paywalled, arXiv version) by [Ruairidh Sutcliffe] et al. we can find more details on this method and what their findings may mean for various fields. Naturally, this is a quantum-level phenomenon that requires Raman spectroscopy to be detectable via said phonons.
The materials investigated here are also somewhat exotic, ranging...

Pour son premier long-métrage, l’humoriste et influenceur américain Jordan Firstman se met en scène en fêtard défoncé qui se retrouve avec un fils sur les bras. “Club Kid”, qui sort en France ce 4 novembre, a reçu des échos étonnamment positifs dans la presse américaine.

Correspondante en France pour la chaîne américaine CNN, Melissa Bell a publié en septembre “Sous influence américaine”, une enquête qui décrypte les différentes méthodes de Washington pour s’immiscer dans le débat politique européen et favoriser la montée des partis d’extrême droite. À l’approche des élections de mi-mandat aux États-Unis, “Courrier international” l’a rencontrée.

Le président des États-Unis a fait une déclaration matinale inattendue alors que se tiennent des élections de mi-mandat cruciales. Il compte mettre un terme dès la fin de l’année à l’aide américaine annuelle, d’un montant de 4 milliards de dollars, versée pour la sécurité d’Israël, en vertu selon lui d’un accord passé avec Benyamin Nétanyahou.

What is hacking? Many, especially in the mainstream, view it through the lens of computer security. Others consider it synonymous with making or creating. Even for those of us immersed in the community, this can be a surprisingly difficult question to answer.
In his Hackaday Supercon 2026 keynote address, Bruce Potter will explore this idea by taking a step back and looking at what makes someone a hacker in the first place. Rather than viewing hacking as a singular act, he’ll make the case that it’s a mindset, a way of approaching problems that’s not strictly dependent on the tools used or even the desired outcome.

Pénuries d’eau, routes couvertes de déchets ou de nids-de-poule, coupures d’électricité, insécurité… Lors des élections municipales du mercredi 4 novembre en Afrique du Sud, la colère menace le Congrès national africain.

Dans un contexte politique mondial morose, les départs de Viktor Orban et Aleksandar Vucic, couplés à la défaite de Flávio Bolsonaro, semblent pointer vers un reflux du camp postdémocrate. C’est du moins ce que veut croire l’auteur et philosophe belge David Van Reybrouck.

One of the easiest ways of improving security and privacy when using the Internet, and computers in general, is to use strong passwords unique to each site or service. A password manager makes this easy on your phone or computer, but what if you’re in a situation where you can’t install any software on the device you’re logging into? In that case, maybe it’s time to get out the Toothpaste.

In April 2024, anime streaming service Funimation shut down its app and website, as it became part of Crunchyroll.
The closure also cut off access to the Funimation digital copies that came with DVDs and Blu-ray discs. This wasn’t well received by anime fans.
Today, Crunchyroll’s help page still states that it does not currently support these copies. Instead, the page encourages affected users to explore the anime streaming library that Crunchyroll does offer.
