Abattu dans une rue de Las Vegas en septembre 1996, le rappeur était alors au sommet de sa popularité. L’affaire fascine depuis 30 ans. Un jury de Las Vegas a reconnu coupable de son meurtre Duane Davis, un ancien chef de gang, même s’il n’était pas accusé d’avoir tiré sur la star.

Le gouvernement a tenu un long séminaire, lundi 31 août, autour du prochain projet de loi de finances. En proposant un texte d’ampleur limitée, sans vraie baisse du déficit ni réforme majeure, le premier ministre espère obtenir le soutien décisif de certains députés socialistes.

Outre l’interdiction du téléphone portable au lycée, cette rentrée est marquée par les conséquences d’une cyberattaque ayant visé l’éducation nationale, qui affecte encore les académies de Toulouse et de Nantes, et les élèves qui en dépendent.

A perennial in the esoteric operating system space is ReactOS, a project with its roots in the 1990s which is doing a pretty good job of creating an open source clone of 32-bit Windows. They have a new version out, and it’s acquired some useful features.
Top of the list is a new graphical installer, removing the need for separate live and install ISOs, followed by improvements in video bug fixes and high definition audio drivers and subsystems. There’s a headless server install too, in which the GUI is suppressed. Perhaps most interesting, they are working on version syncing the open-source projects such as WINE on which they rely, meaning with luck that any improvements there will show up in ReactOS.

Dan Driscoll, the youngest-ever army secretary, was about 18 months into his post.

Perhaps the most annoying kinds of faults are those that involve expensive equipment that just sit around in a cupboard, only for them to just stop working at all. Such was the case with the £2,000 Amprobe cable trace kit that [Tom] bought for work-related purposes. After sitting around unused for a few years, the signal generating part of the kit refused to power up at all, with Fluke’s service department wanting at least £600 to even attempt a repair after already having had [Tom] cough up £70 to even get this quote.
Subsequently he instead sent it to [Buy it Fix it] on YouTube for an attempted repair, which at the very least would be a less costly option. These systems use a signal generator connected...

Google raised the price of its 4K streaming box to $149, up $50 from its original $99 price. The new price is currently live at the Google Store and Best Buy, but Amazon appears to still be offering the original price. The price hike comes just a couple of weeks after Google launched its new lineup of Pixel 11 phones with a $100 price hike over their Pixel 10 counterparts. The Google TV Streamer originally launched in 2024 and doubles as a smart home hub. It isn't the only streaming device getting more expensive - component shortages have been driving up prices on everything from laptops to game consoles. Earlier this month, Amazon incre …

JMGO’s Iris Ultra Max 4K 120Hz Google TV projector. | Image: JMGO JMGO's 4K 120Hz Iris Ultra Max all-in-one Google TV projector is now available outside China. It gets its name from a new dual-iris system that lets it produce an impressive 10,000:1 native contrast, according to JMGO. It boosts the contrast - always an issue with projectors - by placing two separate physical apertures (irises) along different points of the internal optical path to control light scatter and brightness far more aggressively than a single iris can. It also promises to produce a very bright 6,500 ISO lumen image from its triple-laser light engine.
Last year at IFA, 6,000 lumens from an all-in-one projector was breaking new gro...

The FTC and 22 state attorneys general are suing Amazon for allegedly using a "secret ad surcharge" to drive up prices for ads on its website and app. FTC chairman Andrew Ferguson claims in a blog post on the lawsuit that the higher advertising prices "were largely passed on to American consumers." According to the complaint, Amazon violated the FTC Act and over a dozen state laws. This lawsuit comes almost a year after Amazon agreed to pay $2.5 billion to settle an earlier FTC lawsuit over Prime subscription practices. In Amazon's "second price" auctions for ads on its platform, the winning bidder is supposed to only pay one cent more tha …

Ceddanne Rafaela is tagged out at home plate at Yankee Stadium on August 28th. | Getty Images This weekend, I strapped on an Apple Vision Pro to watch a baseball game in immersive virtual reality for the first time. It was technically impressive, visually pretty remarkable, and also didn't make that much sense.
Apple and Major League Baseball chose a classic match-up of the Boston Red Sox and the New York Yankees for the first of its series of four games streamed on the device. I do not review tech for The Verge, but I do watch a lot of baseball - if there's a game on and I'm at home, it's likely on my television. If this is the future of sports, live events, and wearable technology in general, I'd like to see...

The hope is always that a good business card will leave a good impression. For those in the electronics field, they also serve as an opportunity to showcase creative design skills. [Wilson Harper] demonstrates that ably with a rather nifty energy-harvesting build.
The card is based around a thin PCB in the typical business card size. It’s populated by 21 Charlieplexed LEDs, a small microcontroller, and some supporting components. Now, this is normally where you might expect the device to be powered by a small coin cell, maybe deftly integrated into the PCB thickness itself to make the card less cumbersome. But no—[Wilson] went a different route. The thing is that in 2026, most of us are carrying phones...

When it comes to building real-world flying vehicles, testing can be arduous and expensive. You have to find somewhere to fly, then you have to contend with environmental conditions and the possibility of damaging your craft if things go wrong. Simulation is a great solution to this, allowing testing without so much risk. To that end, [AlexanderRex] whipped up a platform for testing UAVs from the comfort of your computer desk.
PteroSim is intended as a comprehensive test bench for simulating autonomous aerial vehicles. It can run PX4, ArduPilot, and Betaflight binaries right in the simulator. The autopilot code is given simulated sensor data, and in turn responds with actuator commands, just as it would in a...

The average hot water is a relatively simple appliance to understand. It uses gas or electricity to dump energy into water in the form of heat, keeping it at a pleasant temperature for uses like bathing and cleaning. Basic mechanisms are in place to ensure the water stays at a relatively constant temperature, neither too hot where it could cause burns, nor too cold such that it wouldn’t be fit for purpose.
One of the problems, though, is that sometimes storing water at the desired temperature can create the perfect breeding ground for bacteria. However, a neat little trick developed by NIST could solve that problem rather elegantly. You’re Hot And You’re Cold
Legionella pneumophila is a bacteria that...

La tragédie que vit le Népal depuis le 26 août avec les gigantesques coulées de boue qui ont fait des milliers de morts et disparus est pour l’essentiel vraisemblablement due au réchauffement climatique et la fonte des glaciers de l’Himalaya, mais certains experts s’interrogent aussi sur les conséquences des activités humaines causées par la présence chinoise au Tibet.

Les membres de la Société de Géographie ont une passion : chausser leurs semelles de vent et voyager sous toutes les latitudes. Point n’est besoin d’être géographe patenté pour le faire de manière éclairée. Cependant, il arrive parfois de voyager sans avoir eu le temps de s’y préparer. Laissez-moi vous conter ce qui m’est arrivé le 21 juillet dernier. Je rentrais du Japon de jour. À l’aller, pour éviter les zones de conflits de l’Ukraine et de l’Iran, nous avions survolé la Turquie, la Géorgie,...

Les transports sont au cœur de la géographie, puisqu’ils désignent les déplacements de personnes, de biens matériels, d’informations, d’argent d’un lieu à l’autre. Ils créent des flux qui, depuis la Préhistoire, n’ont cessé de s’allonger et de se densifier. La chanson que Bourvil interprétait en 1946, « à pied, à cheval, en voiture » est bien datée désormais ! Les moyens de transports sont devenus si multiples, si foisonnants et si rapides qu’ils dépassent aujourd’hui l’entendement et la...

Two weeks ago, someone calling themselves ‘Cyberleek’ started posting gameplay footage from Grand Theft Auto VI, months ahead of the game’s November launch.
Take-Two Interactive immediately responded with a wave of takedown notices and a cluster of DMCA subpoenas at a federal court, aiming to hunt down whoever was behind the leak.
DMCA subpoenas are a special legal tool that allows rightsholders to request information from third parties, without first having to sue someone. In this case, the game company used it for a broad sweep, targeting thousands of Discord users.
TorrentFreak previously covered how that net also widened to Microsoft, X, and Google’s YouTube. And in new filings, it appears that the...

Zéro Logement Vacant, ce nom ne vous dit peut-être rien, mais c'est un service de l'État censé aider les collectivités à remettre sur le marché les logements vides. Il vient de se retrouver au cœur d'une fuite de données colossale.
Un pirate qui se fait appeler ZeroBytes affirme avoir aspiré près de 149 millions de lignes brutes depuis la plateforme. Après nettoyage des doublons, ça correspondrait à environ 48 millions de personnes différentes. En croisant les noms et les dates de naissance, on grimpe même à plus de 71 millions, mais les deux chiffres ne s'additionnent pas. D'où vient une telle masse de données ? Essentiellement du foncier.

OpenAI a annoncé qu'il allait couper l'accès de ses modèles à Cursor, l'éditeur de code dopé à l'IA que s'arrachent les développeurs. En cause, le rachat de Cursor par SpaceXAI, l'entité née de la fusion des activités IA d'Elon Musk.
Officiellement, OpenAI laisse du temps. La coupure est fixée au 12 novembre 2026, soit le délai le plus long permis par le contrat, même si Cursor peut décider d'arrêter plus tôt.
Le motif, lui, est assez clair. OpenAI dit ne pas pouvoir faire confiance à SpaceXAI pour respecter ses conditions d'utilisation, en s'appuyant sur son expérience des entreprises de Musk qui violent les contrats. Il faut dire que les deux camps se détestent depuis un bail. Musk a...

Under U.S. law, rightsholders have an option to identify alleged copyright infringers, without having to file a lawsuit. Instead, they can request a DMCA subpoena. These documents are typically signed by a court clerk and don’t require any judicial oversight. These DMCA subpoenas allow rightsholders to obtain the personal details of anonymous alleged infringers through third-party service providers. In recent years, this legal shortcut has shown to be a capable OSINT tool, with the Alliance for Creativity and Entertainment (ACE) as the most avid user. This week, the Motion Picture Association, representing ACE, filed two new subpoena requests at federal courts in California. The first subpoena targets...
