Si vous cherchez un logiciel de dictée vocale sérieux sur Mac, vous avez sûrement remarqué que le marché ressemble à un désert. Nuance a débranché Dragon pour Mac en octobre 2018, la dictée intégrée de macOS dépanne pour 2 SMS mais s'essouffle sur un vrai document, et la plupart des services actuels envoient votre voix mouliner sur un serveur à l'autre bout du monde. Et quand vous êtes avocat, médecin, journaliste ou juste quelqu'un qui dicte des trucs confidentiels, bah ça pique un peu.
Alors comme vous le savez, j'ai fini par coder ma propre solution, et bonne nouvelle, Kassis débarque aujourd'hui sur le Mac App Store ! Jusqu'ici, mon app de saisie vocale était réservée à mes abonnés...

Bryan, a food broker from Michigan, wasn't sure if he'd be able to make it to urgent care in time. He started feeling off on Thursday, and by Saturday, he was having to use the bathroom every 15 to 30 minutes.
"It's no joke about the explosive diarrhea," Bryan, who asked that his last name be withheld for obvious reasons, told me. I met him via Reddit, where I recently spent hours lurking in threads about cyclosporiasis, the explosive diarrhea illness infecting people across the country, and Cyclospora cayetanensis, the microscopic parasite that causes it, which spreads through human fecal contamination. Symptoms - including nausea, loss of …

A new teaser for Google's upcoming Pixel 11 lineup reveals that the phones will feature some kind of glowing orb on the camera bar, as reported by 9to5Google.
Google's store page for the Pixel 11 has a short video that shows the glowing, color-shifting orb to the one side of the camera bar. The store page doesn't share any more information about it, but perhaps the orb is the "Pixel Glow" light feature that has popped up in Android 17 betas. If I had to guess, the orb will likely have something to do with Google's Gemini AI. We probably won't have to wait too much longer to learn what the orb is all about. Google has announced an August 12 …

Lucid Motors found itself in a tough bind this week, fending off bankruptcy rumors and watching its stock price plunge as a result. The company quickly denied the report, calling it "completely false" and pointing to its available free cash flow as evidence that it has enough runway to operate into next year.
But despite the swift response, the damage was widespread. The panic immediately bled into competing automakers, pulling down shares of Rivian and Polestar as investors speculated about the long-term survival of EV-only companies in the face of slowing consumer demand and whiplash policy shifts. And it cast a harsh light on the precari …

Design professionals have highly practical reasons to keep their opinions to themselves.This spring, I attempted to write a story about design professionals’ reactions to the various changes coming to Washington, D.C.—the "Triumphal Arch," the East Wing demolition, and broader refurbishment efforts. I ran into one major problem: the architects I reached out to were a bit too nervous to speak openly about whether or not these projects would address civic needs, or if they’d simply be a waste of taxpayer and donor dollars. This isn’t necessarily unusual. Over the past 10-plus years that I’ve been covering the built environment, I’ve sought out architects, designers, landscape architects, and urban...

During the Cold War, when humanity seemed hellbent on annihilation, underground Atlas missile bases made of steel and concrete were built across the United States to ward off World War III.  Newer missile technology quickly replaced those Atlas bases, and the sites were all decommissioned and closed by the mid-1960s.

Netflix just can't let Stranger Things go. Since the final episode aired on New Year's Eve there's been a behind-the-scenes documentary, an animated series that expands the story, and now, on the 10th anniversary of the show's original release, Netflix has released a new version of the show's first season. The episodes have all been rendered through a VHS-style filter to make it feel like a true product of the '80s, and it's surprisingly convincing - if you're looking to re-watch the show from the beginning, this might be the best way to do it.

DOOM tourne aujourd'hui sur presque tout, d'un frigo connecté à une calculatrice, et chaque année quelqu'un ajoute une machine encore plus improbable à la liste. Il restait pourtant une exception qui résistait, la Neo Geo, la console d'arcade de SNK des années 90. Elle coûtait le prix d'un petit salaire à l'époque, et elle passait quand même pour incapable de faire tourner le jeu de tir culte de id Software. Le plus curieux, c'est que ce n'était pas une question de puissance. Son processeur et sa puce graphique étaient très corrects pour leur temps.

Launched in 2014, Japan’s Hayabusa2 spacecraft completed its primary asteroid sample return mission all the way back in 2020. But with the main spacecraft still healthy, the intrepid little probe was assigned new missions — such as its future investigation of asteroid 1998 KY26, a rather unassuming 11 meter diameter rock.

Earlier this month Hayabusa2 flew by the 450 meter 98943 Torifune at a distance of 800 meters, close enough to get an up-close look of its surface of mostly silicate minerals. With the spacecraft flying past at around 5 km/s, this posed some challenges with tracking, especially since its systems and...

Having Linux on so many devices is both a blessing and a curse. Sure, it is great that you can hack on things and modify them or even totally repurpose them. But it also means you have a fleet of Linux devices you have to manage and keep track of.
My current “main” 3D printer is a Flashforge AD5X: a nice, cheap machine that does four colors with the purge/exchange method. It sort of runs Klipper. I say sort of because Flashforge has Klipper running on a Linux host in the box, but it is massively crippled and modified. I’m sure it works for most folks. I’m also sure that if you know nothing about Linux, Klipper, or 3D printing, the experience is probably better thanks to all the cloud point-and-click...

The Diary of Anne Frank is widely regarded as one of the best-known literary works in history. While the diary’s importance is universally recognized, the accessibility of its digital manuscripts has been at the center of a Dutch copyright battle that eventually made its way to the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU).
The legal dispute was triggered by differences in copyright protection terms in the EU. Parts of Anne Frank’s manuscripts remain protected in the Netherlands until 2037, while the same material entered the public domain in Belgium and many other EU member states years ago.
To navigate these conflicting laws, the Dutch Anne Frank Stichting published a scholarly edition online using...

With Nintendo’s 3DS experiencing a bit of a renaissance lately, prices for functioning systems have shot through the roof. Getting a busted one with a broken screen is a lot cheaper, but then you run into the eye-watering price difference between a replacement top screen for the regular version and the larger XL variant. The latter costs about the same as a whole new used 3DS, while the former goes for peanuts. Here the solution is obvious, with [Skawo] demonstrating how they hacked the cheaper, smaller top screen into a New 3DS XL.
The price difference on AliExpress as shown in the video is on the order of $120, with the smaller screen going for less than $10. Since they both use the same connector pin-out...

C’était une des nouveautés des AirPods Pro 2, mais ça ne fonctionne pas avec mes AirPods Pro 2 de l’année du : l’iPhone est capable d’afficher la gravure du boîtier dans l’interface. Je ne sais pas si ça marche avec les AirPods 4, mais je suppose que c’est le cas avec les AirPods Pro 3. Depuis les débuts des AirPods, Apple propose de graver un message sur le boîtier, gratuitement… si vous achetez les AirPods chez Apple. Comme Apple vend dans les faits nettement plus cher qu’Amazon et les autres, ce n’est pas particulièrement courant.
