Le président américain a assuré jeudi que la Russie “n’allait pas attaquer un territoire de l’Otan”. Le Kremlin a, lui, qualifié d’“alarmistes” les informations parues dans la presse américaine selon lesquelles le directeur de la CIA s’était rendu à Moscou pour dissuader Poutine de s’en prendre à un pays de l’Alliance.

Le candidat « insoumis » à l’Elysée a proposé d’annuler la dette française détenue par la Banque centrale européenne. Attaqué sur son projet lors du débat du Medef, jeudi 27 août, et alors qu’experts et politiques s’écharpent sur le sujet depuis dix jours, il a invité à sortir des caricatures.

On Thursday, a judge ruled that the Pentagon's blacklisting of Anthropic earlier this year was unconstitutional, delivering the AI lab a win in a monthslong rollercoaster of a battle with the Trump administration. The lawsuit, filed in March in a California district court, accused the Trump administration of unlawfully retaliating against Anthropic for setting "red lines," or unacceptable military use cases of its AI technology. "The empty invocation of national security is not a blank check to punish and retaliate against government critics," Judge Rita F. Lin, a district judge in the northern district of California, wrote in the ruling …

A federal judge has called the Department of Defense’s designation of Anthropic as a national security supply-chain risk “illegal and baseless.”

Les Russes ont intensifié leurs frappes sur les navires se dirigeant ou sortant des ports d’Odessa et des villes voisines, à tel point que le trafic maritime local est à l’arrêt depuis plus d’un mois. Une gageure logistique pour de nombreuses entreprises et un important manque à gagner pour l’Ukraine, grande productrice de céréales.

La vedette du groupe Bolloré est passée par Nice, fin juillet, avant de disparaître après l’arrêté d’expulsion de France qui la visait. Après ce coup de force français, la question de sa candidature à la direction de la Maison russe à Berlin, très liée au Kremlin, a déclenché une cascade de réactions politiques en Allemagne.

In a move that’s no doubt going to trigger a lot of confusion and nostalgia, Mklinux is back, in a sense. As the announcement makes clear, this is multikernel Linux, not microkernel Linux, which is an experimental OS designed to run the Linux kernel as a user-space server running on top of OS X’s Mach kernel.
Naming overlap niggles aside, this neo-mklinux lets multiple independent Linux kernels run simultaneously on bare metal. There is still a host kernel which handles the carving up of hardware resources to the newly spawned kernels, but unlike with a hypervisor there are no abstraction or translation layers.
In theory this should mean basically perfect isolation between kernels, which is one of the main...

Rockstar has officially published its "extended look" at Grand Theft Auto VI on YouTube and on its website, as promised. The in-depth preview, which "entirely" features footage captured from the PS5 version of the game, initially premiered on Netflix at 3PM ET. But because Rockstar allowed creators to post reaction videos, you've technically been able to watch the video on YouTube before the studio's official upload.
The nearly 27-minute preview largely focuses more on atmosphere, protagonists Jason Duval and Lucia Caminos, and highlighting locations in the game instead of diving deep on specific game mechanics. It feels more like slices of …

Chinese American Bear “Dance Dance Dance (跳舞跳舞跳舞)”
This song could have stayed in ESG/Liquid Liquid post-punk funk minimalism mode and I would’ve been happy. I’m a total mark for that sound and always will be easily won over by most attempts at it. But the switchover in this track to orchestrated disco is magical; like the song suddenly shifts from grainy black and white to full garish color. This cut is a stand alone single pulled from the sessions for Chinese American Bear’s Dim Sum & Then Some record that was released earlier this summer. There’s some terrific songs on that album – I came close to writing up both “Turn Up the Radio” and “No No Yeah Yeah” – but “Dance...

L’équipe de France de basket a dominé la Slovénie sur le parquet de Bercy (92-67), jeudi 27 août lors d’une rencontre de qualification pour la Coupe du monde 2027, grâce à une performance très aboutie de son capitaine. La star jouait en sélection dans la capitale pour la première fois depuis le tournoi olympique en 2024.

I think I know why Rockstar Games debuted its "extended look" of Grand Theft Auto VI on Netflix instead of immediately dropping it for free on YouTube. Unlike most video game trailers, the almost 27-minute preview of GTA VI felt more like a slice of a prestige crime drama than any video game trailer that I've ever seen. To make a new game that lasts another decade or more and potentially rivals the success of its predecessor, Rockstar is clearly trying to further blur the lines between Hollywood and video games. The line between games and movies has been getting consistently fuzzier. Look no further than this year's James Bond game, 007 Fi …

The Honda Goldwing is one of the more famous motorcycles ever produced. It’s known for its reliability and comfort, but also for being one of the first motorcycles Honda rolls out new technology with. It was the first to have a factory-installed airbag as well as integrated GPS, and is now largely associated for being a sort of two-wheeled RV with how many creature comforts it supports for long-distance riders. [Matt] has a Goldwing of his own, and is taking that RV-like feeling to the extreme with a rooftop camper for this motorcycle.
Of course, motorcycles don’t have roofs, but if this Goldwing had one this camper would definitely be above that. Goldwings are already heavy enough without an enormous...

Meta is updating its AI-powered smart glasses to close a loophole that allowed wearers to keep recording after covering the front-facing LED. Alex Himel, Meta's vice president of augmented reality, writes in a post on Threads that "the camera will now stop working if the light is covered during a recording."
The company's line of smart glasses already disables their built-in cameras if someone covers the LED capture light, which blinks to alert others that you're recording or taking a picture. However, some wearers found that they can bypass these restrictions by covering the LED light after they started recording. This latest fix comes a l …

“Six months ago, exporting hydrocarbons from the Arabian-Persian Gulf followed straightforward rules: take the most direct route – the Strait of Hormuz – to quickly reach Asia, the world's most energy-hungry region. But the war in Iran, launched by the US and Israel on February 28, upended these priorities by paralyzing this narrow maritime passage. For the oil powers in the region, the urgent priority is now to diversify the routes for exporting crude oil, or 'black gold,' as it is known. That way, they hope to free themselves from Tehran's blackmail over the strategic chokepoint through which, before the conflict, 20 million barrels passed each day. Between late July and late August, ships – often...

“China's air and water quality continued to improve in the first seven months of 2026, as the country strengthened efforts to curb air pollution and protect water resources, the Ministry of Ecology and Environment said on Thursday. The average density of PM2.5, a key indicator measuring air pollution, dropped by 1.8 micrograms per cubic meter in the first seven months of the year compared with the same period last year, a decrease of 6.2 percent, Huang Runqiu, China's ecology and environment minister, told a news conference. In the same period, the proportion of days with good air quality rose by 3.9 percentage points year on year.” From China Daily.

It marked the first time the national individual poverty rate had fallen into single digits. Meanwhile, the percentage of families living in poverty also dropped from 10.9 per cent to 6.4 per cent over the same period. The milestone comes a month after the World Bank reclassified the Philippines as an upper-middle-income country, after its gross...

It’s been over a decade and two console generations since GTA V came out, and its sequel is still a work in progress. GTA VI has faced multiple delays, with developer Rockstar Games bumping back its predicted release date twice, eventually shifting to November 19th, 2026, a full year after its originally planned fall 2025 release window. Early official glimpses offered a look at the game’s protagonists, Jason and Lucia, who players will navigate around Vice City as outlaws on the run after a job goes south. Preorders have opened for the digital code-only game, offering the $79.99 standard edition and $99.99 Ultimate Edition on both PS5 and Xbox Series X / S. Rockstar Games has also responded to...

Recently [Tucker Osman] brought to life what once was just a meme created by the BBC as it poked fun at Apple’s push for ever smaller devices that also dropped many features along the path towards questionable innovation. This ‘Mactini’ was a super-small laptop, with just a single button that did everything, befitting the overpriced more-money-than-sense status symbol vibe that [Jony Ive] brought to Apple.
The input method suggested in the BBC video involves convoluted patterns using the single button, which would be functional, albeit cumbersome. Even as [Tucker] set out on this mission to make the Mactini real, he had to answer a lot of questions, while sticking to the rules that it had to follow the...

Over the centuries there have been an incredible number of purported medical devices released onto the market, with some having more outrageous claims than others. Released in the 1910s and produced into the 1920s, the Farador electrotherapeutic device claimed to be a thermoelectric device that would cure all disease conditions. In a recent video over at the [Our Own Devices] channel we get an in-depth look at this device and its usage instructions.

Anyone whose first computing experience came in the form of an 8-bit home computer will tell you about booting straight into a BASIC interpreter. The machine invited you to program it, and no doubt many of our middle aged readers are here today because they ran with that.
Modern computers with their fancy 64-bit multitasking supercomputer operating systems may have lost that experience, but now thanks to [Tarjan] you can bring it back. They’ve produced Thoreau BASIC, a bootable bare-metal BASIC interpreter for x86 machines with UEFI.
It’s largely GW-BASIC compatible, but with a few upgrades for the 21st century. The available memory is now whatever the system reports, so imagine a BASIC machine with...

The legendary performer didn’t run away from her humble beginnings, instead carrying them with her, not as a burden, but as a north star.Alongside parents, neighbors, and teachers, the houses where we grow up help raise us. The childhood home sets the bar: Part of the ongoing dialogue around the housing crisis stems from young people today who grew up in middle-class suburban tract homes feeling betrayed by the fact that those same homes (and lives) are not attainable to them. Not unrelatedly, some of us spend our lives running away from our housing roots, searching for something entirely different—maybe better, more lavish, or more urban; we go no-contact with the conditions that raised us in hopes that...
