Le directeur général de l’organisation, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, a annoncé mercredi que les essais cliniques sur les traitements et les vaccins contre la maladie à virus s’accéléraient, alors que la RDC connaît la pire flambée de son histoire.

Les États-Unis ont annoncé, mardi 15 septembre, des restrictions de visa contre les Sud-Africains qui se seraient rendus “responsables ou complices” d’une “discrimination raciale”, notamment envers les Afrikaners. Ce type d’accusations a déjà provoqué de fortes tensions entre les deux pays.

“Earlier this month, Kindred Companion Sciences, a biotech start-up based in New York, revealed that it had used the technique known as CRISPR to create the first gene-edited, hypoallergenic dogs. Thanks to a single genetic tweak, the dogs — two undeniably adorable beagles — appear unable to produce a protein that can leave some people red-eyed and wheezing. Still, it’s a long way from the lab to the laps of pet owners across America. (It’s been two and a half years since scientists announced a gene-edited, hypoallergenic cat, but such felines are not yet available to the public.) More time and data are needed to determine whether Kindred has truly delivered on its promise of hypoallergenic dogs,...

“When Joro spiders first arrived stateside over a decade ago, scientists worried the massive black and yellow spiders would gorge themselves on the same bugs as native spiders (or even the native spiders themselves). If the invasive arachnids did make massive meals out of Georgia’s insects, the local orb weaver population — already facing dangers from insecticide and pesticide use — could suffer. But a new study from the University of Georgia may ease some of those concerns… The researchers analyzed the stomach contents of more than 200 Joro spiders from 33 sites across Georgia and South Carolina. They compared DNA fragments found in the digestive tracts of these spiders to more than 140 native orb...

Menée depuis le sud-est du territoire irakien, une attaque de drones contre l’oléoduc saoudien Est-Ouest pourrait avoir été perpétrée par une faction proche de Téhéran cherchant à “mettre à l’épreuve” le gouvernement.

One of the nice things about the weather is that even if it’s bad right now, it’ll definitely be changing soon and maybe even for the better. There is one exception to this rule, however, and that comes in the form of heat domes, which are weather systems whereby a region of air becomes isolated from the surrounding systems. This creates effectively a greenhouse, with hot air remaining trapped and moisture unable to get in.
Although until recently not very common, this weather phenomenon poses a major challenge to any flora and fauna that finds itself trapped in a heat dome. With nights being about as hot and stifling as the days with their blue skies unbroken by any cloud cover and no rain for potentially...

“Irrigating U.S. crops prevents higher greenhouse gas emissions by avoiding land conversion, new research by Colorado State University shows. Agricultural irrigation allows the United States to grow more food on less land. If irrigation were suddenly shut off, the land-use change required to make up for lost yields would produce significantly more greenhouse gas emissions than irrigation emits—363 times more. CSU scientists estimate the emissions saved by avoiding land-use change would equate to 363 years' worth of today's U.S. annual greenhouse gas emissions from irrigation. Converting natural ecosystems to agricultural use releases carbon stored in soil and vegetation. Land use and land conversion for...

“The financial well-being of Americans held relatively steady last year, even as the cost of living continued to climb. The poverty rate was 13.1 percent in 2025, the same as in 2024, according to data released on Tuesday by the Census Bureau. Poverty for children and people over age 65 did not change, while poverty among those without a high school degree rose. The share of Americans without health insurance stayed level. Median household income improved last year to $87,460, the highest level on record, adjusted for inflation.” From New York Times.

Nintendo has gotten quite good at making open-ended games. The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild upended the idea of what a Zelda game could be by giving the player free rein to tackle any part of the map, a philosophy iterated upon with Tears of the Kingdom. On the Switch 2 this idea expanded to Mario Kart World and Donkey Kong Bananza. Now, Nintendo has brought this philosophy to Fire Emblem with Fortune's Weave. It works really well; with its many ways to progress through the game and tailor teams to your liking, Fortune's Weave has become my favorite game on the Switch 2 so far.
Fortune's Weave's structure is a big reason why it feels …

Over the past few days, a lot of people who stand to make a lot of money from AI all publicly agreed that it's time to make everyone slow down before we lose control - including OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei, Google DeepMind cofounder Demis Hassabis, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella, and X CEO Elon Musk.
When people who profit from something declare that it's dangerous and needs to be regulated, there's always reason to be skeptical. But whatever their reason, this is far from the first time AI thought leaders have sounded the alarm. Charles Darwin's theory of evolution prompted author Samuel Butler to warn about intelligen …

Fun camera features help make these candy bar iPhones stand out from the dazzle of the folding iPhone Duo.

Ice cold. | Photo: Amelia Holowaty Krales / The Verge Last week, Apple announced an iPhone unlike any it has made in the past. An iPhone that has seemingly already led several other phone manufacturers to pursue entirely different designs for their flagship products. A remarkably distinct device with the kind of "I can't believe they did that" software touches that Apple sometimes pulls off when it's at the top of its game.
That phone is not the iPhone 18 Pro. The 18 Pro and Pro Max are in the unusual position of being the second-most interesting iPhones that Apple is launching this year. The foldable iPhone Duo stole the show at Apple's launch event, but it's not arriving until next month. …

[Angus] of [Maker’s Muse] shows off both a parametric, print-in-place sliding puzzle design he created, and the results of UV printing full-color designs on the same. The results look beautiful, and there was a whole lot of trial and error involved in the process.

Creating a good print-in-place sliding puzzle depends a lot on tolerances.

Meta may be ready to reveal a new pair of smart glasses with no camera at all, amid a PR crisis for the company caused by the video recording capabilities of its flagship smart glasses. A new report from The Information claims the camera-free glasses, codenamed Luna, could be revealed as soon as the Meta Connect event next week.
Instead of a camera, the Luna glasses will reportedly include six microphones that allow users to chat to Meta AI and the new Muse AI agent, along with speakers for audio playback. Stripping the camera out has apparently made it possible to make the glasses' arms smaller, and closer to ordinary frames. Meta is repor …

Earlier this year, a wave of hypervisor bypasses allowed pirates to ‘crack’ Denuvo-protected games on the day of release.
However, those bypasses weren’t Denuvo’s only headache. For those who preferred a less invasive approach, an anonymous cracker going by the name “voices38” continued to release many old-school cracks that patch Denuvo’s checks directly.
These traditional cracks don’t require users to disable Windows security features, which makes them quite popular. Catering to this demand, voices38’s output accelerated this summer, resulting in five Denuvo releases on a single day earlier this month. This didn’t go unnoticed at the Denuvo headquarters. Denuvo Takes ‘voices38’ to...

[curisama] has put together a project simply entitled The Badge. It’s simple enough, being a little round screen that you wear. Only, it does a wide variety of rather interesting things.
The build is based on the Waveshare ESP32-S3-Touch-AMOLED-1.75C. It’s not a very fun part number, but it describes a device which combines a 466×466 round display with a milled aluminium case and an ESP32-S3 to drive everything.
Neat, right?
[curisama] started building a custom firmware for the device, intending to use it as an air mouse. Soon enough it had a touchpad, too, a bunch of extra keys, as well as a clock and some games. It was given the ability to record audio too, up to 52 minutes in WAV format. From there, it...

J’avais déjà parlé de deux souris transparentes de chez Macway (au Japon), une sombre et une bleue. J’ai trouvée une troisième, qui est plus claire. Sur le fond, c’est une souris classique, avec un design de référence OEM (on trouve une version chez Macally). Celle-ci a une coque transparente nettement plus claire, avec un câble qui tire vers le vert, mais c’est peut-être à cause de son âge. C’est un modèle avec un seul bouton, mais on peut bien voir les emplacements prévus pour la variante avec deux boutons. La coque nettement plus claire a aussi l’avantage (ou le défaut, c’est subjectif) de mettre bien plus en avant la LED intégrée dans la souris, qui s’allume quand on clique....

DCF77 is a German VLF transmitting station that broadcasts a time signal across Europe on 77.5 kHz. Thus a common sight in a European home is a clock emblazoned with the words “Radio controlled”. With the timing broadcast in a simple and low speed digital format it doesn’t require the greatest of hardware to decode, and a small microcontroller can handle the task with ease. And there are few smaller than an ATtiny as used in [kwolf1909]’s decoder. It takes a DCF77 bitstream from a receiver, and shows the time on an I2C display.
The receiver isn’t part of this project, however a single-frequency longwave receiver is not a difficult thing to build. The interface is a push-button, for which a short...

[Clough42] has started a new CNC control cabinet build, and uses it as an opportunity to demonstrate why he models the whole thing out in CAD before ordering parts or physically building anything. One may wonder why to bother, and the simple answer is to ensure there are no surprises or waste. [Clough42] has built plenty of these cabinets and there’s always something that isn’t as expected.
Modeling out an entire cabinet sounds like it should be easy, because today one can obtain 3D models for components from industrial suppliers with ease. In practice, it’s a process fraught with little gotchas.
For example, a STEP file of a component can lack convenient geometric snap points. An enclosure will be a...

Nearly two years after the last update to Boox's smartphone-sized black-and-white e-reader, the company announced the Palma 3 with a sleek redesign, new functionality, and a handful of other small updates that may justify its significant price bump depending on how you plan to use it. While the Palma 2 launched in 2024 for $279.99, the Palma 3 will be $339.99 and is expected to be "available soon."
The most obvious upgrade for the Palma 3 is the hardware itself. It still features the same 6.13-inch, 300ppi E Ink Carta screen as its predecessor (which is now quite a few years old), but it's wrapped in a new anodized aluminum frame with a pap …
