“Takeda Pharmaceutical's dengue vaccine Qdenga has been approved by India's drug regulator, making it the first such vaccine to be cleared in the country, the Japanese drugmaker's ​India unit said on Monday. Dengue is a mosquito-borne viral disease and one of the fastest-spreading ‌vector-borne illnesses globally. The World Health Organization reported a record 14.4 million dengue cases and 11,201 deaths worldwide in 2024, including 232,425 cases and 233 deaths in India… Reported dengue cases in India rose 11-fold ​in the past two decades, according to Takeda Biopharmaceuticals India. Qdenga, designed to protect against all four dengue virus serotypes, is indicated for the prevention...

“Google is launching the first iteration of the AI & Economy ATLAS (Activity, Task, Landscape, and Adoption Study), an ongoing, large-scale, de-identified study of how people are using Google’s AI products and tools… Here a few of the most interesting observations so far: AI use at work is broad but shallow: Workplace adoption spans all industry sectors and also 68% of all occupations that collectively represent 90% of total U.S. employment. However within jobs, people are using AI selectively: in a typical job AI is used for only ~21% of tasks. At work, most AI use is focused on collaboration and assistance with tasks, and so far task automation is uncommon: ATLAS data shows the vast majority of AI...

“After deadly floods killed more than 100 people in Texas’ Hill Country last July, officials vowed major changes in hopes of preventing the failures that contributed to the high death toll. They promised better flood warning systems, tighter safety rules for children’s camps and improvements to the state’s water infrastructure. That work was far from done when a new round of storms began pummeling the state this week, triggering catastrophic flash floods in some of the same areas devastated in 2025. At least two people died. Hundreds needed rescue. But residents in some hard-hit areas said a year of preparation did make a difference. Newly installed flood sirens sounded in the darkness, warning people...

Until now, voice mode has only been available on Claude Haiku, Anthropic's faster but less powerful model. Now the company is making its Opus and Sonnet models available in voice mode, and extending its reach into apps like Gmail, Slack, and Canva.
When Anthropic launched voice mode last year, it was primarily focused on delivering answers to quick questions with minimal delay. But in a blog post, the company said people immediately started using voice mode for far more than casual queries. They were using it to work "through real business problems," which Haiku was not really designed for. That model "kept conversations quick, but not alwa …

Patreon is laying off 20 percent of its workers, or around 93 employees, as reported earlier by 404 Media. In a memo to employees, Patreon CEO Jack Conte writes that the company isn't making these changes "because we believe AI replaces humans," but says AI has "fundamentally transformed the tech industry, including how we work, how we build products, how we communicate, and more."
That shift has changed "how we operate and organize," Conte writes.
During an interview on Decoder, last month, Conte laid out his stance on AI, saying that the company is "100 percent embracing" AI tools internally to continue serving creators: If Patreon doe …

“After twin earthquakes struck northern Venezuela last month, thousands of people took to social media, pleading for help locating friends and family. The interim government was slow to act, but help came quickly from an unexpected source: developers and programmers… The earthquakes killed more than 3,800 people, and destroyed homes and hospitals. Telecommunications infrastructure, including a submarine fiber-optic cable and mobile network towers, was severely damaged. Power outages added to the challenge of accessing the internet. With a near-total absence of state support, Venezuelan citizens and diaspora members like Bastidas stepped in. Within hours of the quakes, volunteer developers in Miami, San...

In an earnings call yesterday, Tesla CEO Elon Musk did his best to paint a positive portrait of the company's robotaxi program. New cities are being added, more miles are being driven, and more people are experiencing Tesla's unsupervised vehicles. But Musk's typical bullishness seemed to be absent from the call, as the occasional trillionaire sought to temper expectations about the program's future. "We're going as fast as humanly possible in scaling Robotaxi," Musk said, "while trying to ensure that we do not harm anyone at all and ideally do not even run over a pet."
Musk's insistence that Tesla's robotaxi service was growing is clas …

A great many drones out there, whether homebuilt or store-bought, follow the same basic format. Four motors, some kind of controller, and a lithium-polymer battery supplying the juice to keep everything in the air. It’s a format that produces a remarkably capable air vehicle, suitable for everything from high-speed camera work to urban search and rescue.
With that said, the format does have its limitations. [Suryansh Sharma] has been working on alternative designs for fancy and interesting drones that are half quadcopter and half blimp, and he came to Hackaday Europe 2026 to tell us all about it. Combining a multirotor design with a balloon for additional lift proved useful for certain applications. Despite...

Depuis le 23 juin, Microsoft déploie sur Windows 11 une nouvelle fonction de récupération baptisée point-in-time restore, et il y a de bonnes chances qu'elle tourne déjà sur votre PC sans que vous l'ayez demandé. En effet, sur les éditions Home et les Pro non gérées en entreprise, elle est allumée par défaut dès que votre disque système dépasse 200 Go.
Le principe ressemble à ce que fait ce bon vieux point de restauration, sauf qu'il va beaucoup plus loin ! Toutes les 24 heures environ, Windows capture en arrière-plan un instantané complet de la machine via le service VSS (Volume Shadow Copy).

Running DOOM on weird obscure hardware is a fun hacker pastime that’s been around for a long time now. It’s always enjoyable to see someone port it to an egg timer, or a hat, or whatever else. But what about running the iconic shooter on a CPU of your very own? [Armaan] and [Liam] have done just that.
The CPU in question was designed at the logic gate level, deployed on to an FPGA, and hooked up with the necessary peripherals to run as a going concern. Early testing of the CPU involved running straightforward code to generate Mandelbrot sets and to play a simple game of Pong. But [Armaan] and [Liam] had bigger goals: to port the game that everybody ports to everything. Doing that took some work.

For as long as humans have had writing, there’s been a need to send secret messages. It is easy to think that Enigma machines and their immediate predecessors are old tech, but they are much more recent than ancient systems used by the Greeks and Romans. Even Thomas Jefferson, one of the founding fathers of the United States, was interested in encryption and is often said to have invented the Jefferson Disk machine for encryption. The truth is, the device is probably older than Jefferson, but he certainly thought about using it for secret communications.

Quand une IA ne comprend pas une voix sourde, ignore un CV portant la mention RQTH ou produit un site inaccessible, elle ne fait souvent que reproduire les angles morts de la société. Pour devenir inclusive, elle doit d'abord apprendre à voir ce qu'elle ne voit pas. Portrait-robot d’une IA (vraiment) pour toutes et tous, commenté par Emmanuelle Aboaf, développeuse sourde de naissance, spécialisée en accessibilité numérique et Yann Ferguson, sociologue et directeur scientifique du LaborIA à INRIA.

One of the extra tools someone might need when working with surface-mount components is a solder paste stencil, which not only simplifies the application of solder paste to a PCB but increases accuracy. These metal stencils can cost an annoying amount of money and take time to get delivered, so this group has developed a method to 3D print them instead.
Starting with a PCB design in one’s tool of choice, the Gerber files can be sent to the online Stenchill tool to generate the stencil. Alternatively, a KiCad plugin exists as well. The tool will output files for a 3D printer from there. An FDM printer is required, with either PLA or PETG filament, and some configuration in the slicer is needed to get the...

- Contient des liens affiliés Amazon - Les câbles magnétiques, ce n'est pas nouveau, ça fait bien une dizaine d'années qu'on en trouve. L'idée a toujours été la même, vous laissez un petit embout aimanté planté en permanence dans le port de votre appareil, et le câble vient s'y coller tout seul quand vous en avez besoin.
Sauf que pendant longtemps, ces câbles ne servaient qu'à recharger doucement, ils plafonnaient vite et laissaient tomber la charge rapide. C'est justement ça qui a changé ces dernières années. Le modèle que j'utilise en ce moment, un MOSHOU tressé en nylon violet vendu autour de 17 euros , encaisse en théorie jusqu'à 240W, soit du 48V et 5A. Autant dire qu'on est très...

Une salle de contrôle satellite, celle qu'on imagine avec des grands écrans et des ingénieurs en blouse, Clément Igonet en a monté une version perso qui tient sur un seul serveur.

In the documentary short “Sawyer Avenue, Sunday Afternoon,” body-cam and bystander footage examine a confrontation between residents and federal agents.

Canada’s approach to pirate site blocking has evolved quite a bit since the Federal Court issued the first ‘GoldTV’ order in 2019. That original order targeted a specific service and a fixed set of domain names. If rightsholders wanted to add a domain to the blocklist, they had to go back to court. Later orders against Soap2Day and, more recently, various stream-ripping sites, went a step further. Instead of targeting specific operations run by the same people, they allowed rightsholders to update the blocklist with alternative domains that would pop up, as well as copycats of the already named brands.
These new orders streamlined the site blocking process. Rightsholders no longer had to file a new case...

Voice-controlled appliances are nothing new. What might be new, however, is [Moonshine AI] running it all locally on a Raspberry Pi Pico 2 W!
The voice interface is roughly divided into three parts: voice activity detection, SpellingCNN speech-to-text and a neural text to speech. The speech to text supports up to 50 tokens, and can be re-trained to support any specific words you want. It runs a simple loop: detect voice activity, listen for (command) tokens, process them in C++, use the TTS to reply, and repeat.
Now, to be fair, it is a bit of a squeeze: 3.6 MiB of the available 4 MiB FLASH and 468 KiB SRAM on a stock Pi Pico 2 board. It leaves you with just about enough space to write a small amount of extra...
