Alors que le débat reprend sur l’éventuel retour de djihadistes tunisiens partis combattre dans des zones de guerre, et particulièrement en Syrie, certains médias s’interrogent sur le “silence officiel” du gouvernement. Combien sont-ils ? Faut-il vraiment craindre un retour massif de djihadistes ?

Les élites politiques russes vieillissent, et leurs membres se cherchent des successeurs pour assurer la continuité du pouvoir, observe le média indépendant “Republic”. Cette transition organisée allie un “système quasi héréditaire”, qui accorde les postes importants aux enfants des responsables actuels, et des programmes officiels de formation rappelant les pratiques qui prévalaient en URSS.

Alors que les frappes américano-israéliennes se poursuivent, les regards se tournent vers les factions kurdes d’Iran. Réunies au sein d’une coalition inédite, elles pourraient tenter de profiter de l’affaiblissement du régime. Mais l’histoire des Kurdes, jalonnée d’alliances fragiles et d’abandons, nourrit autant d’espoirs que de prudence.

J'avoue que faire tourner un agent IA en mode YOLO sur votre machine, y'a de quoi flipper un peu. Un mauvais prompt et hop, votre répertoire home part en fumée.
Mais heureusement, pour ça y'a

En gros, l'agent a les pleins pouvoirs dans son bac à sable par défaut comme ça, votre répertoire home reste intouchable. Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot, tout est compatible, préconfiguré et prêt à l'emploi.
En fait avec Yolobox, seul votre dossier projet est monté en lecture-écriture avec le même chemin que sur votre machine et comme ça, l'agent bosse comme si de rien n'était. Sauf que tout le reste...

Shuffle
, c'est un outil qui vous propose de redesigner votre site web avec 4 modèles d'IA différents. Vous collez votre URL, vous décrivez ce que vous voulez... et boom, Claude Opus 4.6, GPT-5.2, Gemini 3 Pro et Kimi K2.5 vous pondent chacun leur version. J'ai testé sur ma home. Verdict : c'est moche de fou !
Vous arrivez sur la page, vous entrez l'adresse de votre site, vous tapez un petit prompt du genre "modernise mon blog tech" et vous lancez la machine. Les 4 modèles bossent alors en parallèle et au bout de 30 secondes environ, vous avez 4 propositions de redesign à comparer côte à côte.
Je trouvais le concept cool, sauf que dans la pratique, c'est une autre histoire. Comme je vous le disais en...

Cette année, Apple n’a pas proposé des AirTags avec un signe du zodiaque chinois au Japon, comme durant les années précédentes. En 2025, on avait eu un AirTag et des AirPods 4 avec le même emoji, pour l’année du serpent. En 2026, on a eu des AirPods Pro 3 pour l’année du cheval mais un AirTag décoré d’un Daruma au Japon. Ce n’est pas un AirTag 2 (c’est sorti un peu avant), mais bien la première génération. Le Daruma, au Japon, est un signe de prospérité en forme de moine bouddhiste. Comme chaque année, l’emoji est une édition spéciale qui n’existe pas dans iOS et donc le panneau de détection ne le montre pas. Pour le reste, il est livré avec un carton qui comporte un code QR...

Guitar pedals are designed to take in a sound signal, do fun stuff to it, and then spit it out to your amplifier where it hopefully impresses other people. However, [Liam Taylor] decided to see what would happen if you fed video through a guitar pedal instead. 
The device under test is a Boss ME-50 multi-effects unit. It’s capable of serving up a wide range of effects, from delay to chorus to reverb, along with compression and distortion and a smattering of others. [Liam] hooked up the composite video output from an old Sony camcorder from the 2000s to a 3.5 mm audio jack, and plugged it straight into the auxiliary input of the ME-50 (notably, not the main guitar input of the device).
The multi-effects...

If you were to read the README of the Vib-OS project on GitHub, you’d see it advertised as a Unix-like OS that was written from scratch, runs on ARM64 and x86_64, and comes with a full GUI, networking and even full Doom game support. Unfortunately, what you are seeing there isn’t the beginnings of a new promising OS that might go toe to toe with the likes of Linux or Haiku, but rather a vibe-coded confabulation. Trying to actually use the OS as [tirimid] recently did sends you down a vibe-coded rabbit hole of broken code, more bugs than you can shake a bug zapper at, and most of the promised features being completely absent.

John Abbamondi had orders to let the CEO of Ticketmaster down easy.
In April 2021, Abbamondi was the CEO of BSE Global, the company that ran Brooklyn arena the Barclays Center. BSE Global's existing Ticketmaster contract would expire at the end of September, and Abbamondi and his team had evaluated proposals from SeatGeek, AXS, and Ticketmaster. The economics of Ticketmaster offer, according to Abbamondi, "was nowhere near as good as the other two." SeatGeek's technology was "superior" to Ticketmaster's on balance, on top of better financial terms including an equity stake in the company, the arena decided. It clinched their decision to go …

It's one way they're responding to growing bipartisan concerns about electricity rates rising as tech companies and the Trump administration rush to build out a new generation of AI data centers.

[Diffraction Limited] has been working on a largely 3D-printed micropositioner for some time now, and previously reached a resolution of about 50 nanometers. There was still room for improvement, though, and his latest iteration improves the linkage arms by embossing tiny ball joints into them.
The micro-manipulator, which we’ve covered before, uses three sets of parallel rod linkages to move a platform. Each end of each rod rotates on a ball joint. In the previous iteration, the parallel rods were made out of hollow brass tubing with internal chamfers on the ends. The small area of contact between the ball and socket created unnecessary friction, and being hollow made the rods less stiff. [Diffraction...

John Carroll Kirby “Suntory”
“Suntory” is a challenging song to write about because while I think of some poetic ways to describe its beauty, all of them seem to cheapen the sublime loveliness of the piece. Does it sound like waking up to a perfect, luxurious morning? Do the piano chords and synth tones somehow feel exactly like gentle golden sunlight on your skin? Does it have the ultra-relaxed and informal feel of Sun Ra’s “Sleeping Beauty,” one of my favorite recordings of all time? Yes, definitely, but that’s rather banal compared to what the music actually feels like. There are some songs that are so fun to describe that the music sometimes can’t live up to the words, but this is very...
