Un affrontement armé entre agents du service de sécurité d’Ukraine et une unité spéciale du renseignement militaire a éclaté, mercredi 2 septembre, en plein centre de la capitale, forçant Volodymyr Zelensky à ordonner l’ouverture d’une enquête.

Les petits Français ont repris le chemin de l’école mardi 1er septembre. L’occasion pour ce journaliste du “Spectator” de s’interroger sur le poids des sacs qu’ils portent sur le dos. En cause, les fameuses listes de fournitures obligatoires, héritage de la naissance de l’enseignement public sous la Troisième République, raconte l’hebdomadaire conservateur britannique.

Vendredi 4 septembre, l’exécutif de Giorgia Meloni va atteindre les mille quatre cent treize jours d’existence et devenir, ainsi, le gouvernement le plus long de l’histoire de la république. Une stabilité qui est déjà un succès, estime la presse transalpine, même si les problèmes à l’horizon semblent de plus en plus nombreux.

Les chaleurs extrêmes, les barrages de missiles et les blocus maritimes affectent les récoltes autant que les exportations. Résultat : les prix augmentent et la sécurité alimentaire mondiale vacille, en particulier dans les pays pauvres. Comment sortir de cet engrenage ?

An invite-only event in Austin, Texas, kept online fans in the dark for hours.

Officially, Nvidia's controversial DLSS 5 AI rendering was supposed to launch this evening with only a single game, only on Nvidia's latest RTX 50 GPUs, and with developers in full control of their artistic vision.
But unofficially, modders have already ported a leaked version of DLSS 5 to run on just about anything while cranking sliders to the max. Now, Nvidia is changing its plans. DLSS 5 is still launching first on RTX 50 GPUs, but it's officially coming to older RTX 40-series GPUs as well, Nvidia spokesperson Rajal Maharaj confirms to The Verge.
"Our current focus is on optimizing performance for the GeForce RTX 50 Series with model u …

At a private, closed-door event in Austin, Texas today, Tesla officially launched its gilded car of the future: the Cybercab. It's a huge milestone for Elon Musk, who has been hyping the imminent arrival of driverless cars for years and has bet the future of his company on AI, autonomous vehicles, and humanoid robots.
It was an unusually muted event, with no livestream, no journalists, and a very short invite list comprised mostly of pro-Tesla content creators. Tesla influencers planning live shows with the event stream were left streaming the webpage that tracks the number of Tesla robotaxis in Texas instead. But if the goal was to blunt …

A view of the Halo Board inside the Intuit Dome in 2024 | Icon Sportswire via Getty Images Last September, Steve Ballmer insisted in an ESPN interview that the Clippers weren't involved in a shady-looking $28 million endorsement deal for his star player, Kawhi Leonard, that involved no actual endorsing. Now, the former Microsoft CEO has been suspended by the NBA for a year, while the league says his team will forfeit five future draft picks and pay a $30 million fine, among other penalties. A year later, an NBA-commissioned 35-page report by Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz is basically calling him a liar, saying those claims were "inaccurate (at best) with respect to Mr. Ballmer" and "clearly false" when it...

After getting called out in the field to troubleshoot a large PV solar installation, [Derek] found himself suddenly in the midst of an arc flash, causing burns all over his face and arms. In a recent video he goes over the scenario that led up to this unfortunate event, as the holes in the Swiss cheese slowly lined themselves up, culminating in a high-current 480 VDC discharge nearly giving [Derek] a fatal embrace.
Despite being a professionally trained and certified professional, being called out to diagnose a weird issue on a slightly unusual solar farm’s electrical installation already worked against him. After having spent some time doing said troubleshooting, he finally tracked down the auxiliary...

Does your power bank have "CryoPulse technology" or a "Cyber Window"? If you disappointingly answered "no" to both, you might want to consider upgrading to Ugreen's new MagFlow Pro Magnetic Power Bank. It's available starting today for $149.99, which puts it on the really expensive end of power banks with only a 10,000mAh battery, but those fancy-sounding features are part of what Ugreen is claiming to be the world's first liquid-cooling system on a power bank with wireless charging.
Inside the MagFlow Pro is a micro-pump that's used to circulate coolant and draw heat away from components including the power bank's Qi2.2-compatible wireless …

From the Backrooms' viral horror mythology to Obsession's slow-building dread, the ten best horror movies of 2026 so far

A surprising number of things we use in everyday life retain most of their design cues from their 19th century ancestors. The bicycle retains the same basic design as it had in 1890, as does the sewing machine, the toilet, the car, and of course, the keyboard and the QWERTY layout from old typewriters. But we aren’t doomed to have our technology perpetually living in the past. [Paul] wanted a keyboard designed around human hands, rather than being designed around a machine, so he built this unique split keyboard.
The design of this specific keyboard went through around 50 iterations before he was comfortable with it. Other design goals here were for it to be portable, and the split nature of this certainly...

“Wildfires in Britain and Europe this year are among the worst in decades, yet direct deaths are at some of the lowest levels, according to a Telegraph analysis. As of early August, 505,683 hectares of land have burned across Europe, forcing the evacuation of more than 360,000 people as uncontrollable flames reach major cities, towns, and villages. The problem is global – in the US, Nevada declared a state of emergency over the weekend after a wildfire caused more than 42,000 people to evacuate their homes. But what sets 2026 apart isn’t just the vast areas of land burned, but how few deaths have been caused by the fires. This summer, just 14 people are reported to have died in European wildfires, the...

“BT is on track for an estimated £2bn-plus windfall over the next decade from selling off old copper cabling, as it cashes in on soaring prices amid the AI market frenzy and switches the UK’s network to full-fibre broadband. Copper is one of the main beneficiaries of the “electrification of everything”, essential for the rapid growth of AI datacentres, electronics and the fast-growing renewable energy industry. The metal hit its highest-ever closing price of $14,294 a metric tonne on Friday, close to the record intraday high of $14,500 reached earlier this year amid global shortage fears.

“Self-flying planes have been slower to emerge than self-driving cars, despite operating in what is generally considered a more structured and predictable environment. That is partly because big tech companies 'doubled down' on cars, pouring vast sums into the technology, says Mykel Kochenderfer, an expert in safe aviation autonomy at Stanford University. But it is also because aircraft are held to stricter safety standards than cars, creating a much higher bar for deployment… In the US, the largest autonomous fixed-wing aircraft approved for commercial civilian use so far is Pyka's crop sprayer, which won authorization last year. Though operations are limited to a tightly defined agricultural setting and...

The idea of painting a roof or wall white in order to reflect sunshine and keep the building’s insides cool is hardly a new one, and even in the loosest interpretation of the word ‘white’ it generally works pretty well. This is also what [NightHawkInLight] found after using an off-the-shelf silicone-based coating for his shed’s tin roof, though with a few caveats.
One might say that this is mostly a problem for people who live in non-desert climates — like Michigan in this case — yet it’s undeniable that having a cooler indoors in a high-humidity climate will inevitably lead to a higher indoor humidity level. This was the first issue that was encountered, though it mostly meant that instead of...

Oftentimes, when we’re using a microcontroller, we’re whipping up some very specific code focused on executing a particular task. The device is set up to execute code that does exactly what we want with minimal overhead. However, sometimes, there are scenarios where it pays to go with a somewhat heavier setup, wherein the microcontroller runs an operating system for the benefits that offers.
Federico Terraneo came to Hackaday Europe to discuss this very topic. He talks about kernel architecture, real-time operating systems, and how to best use C++ in the world of microcontrollers.

Making a radio is so often a case of taking tried and tested designs and working with them to create something new. It’s a safe way to make something that works. [Riyas] however has gone for an entirely different tack, creating an entirely modern transceiver with as much as possible going on in the silicon.
At its heart are three integrated circuits, the familiar Si5351 as a transmit VFO, an Si4372 receiver, and an RP2040 tying it all together. This microcontroller functions both as controller, and as an ADC to provide a software defined radio via its USB port. The Si4372 having an internal SDR architecture and its output being digitized again is not lost on us.
It’s for digital modes and CW only, but...

Le 1er septembre, Mark Harmstone a publié WinBtrfs 1.10 , le pilote qui fait lire et écrire des partitions Btrfs à Windows. Et je trouve qu'il était temps, parce que la version précédente datait quand même de mars 2024.
Le principe, lui, n'a pas bougé. Vous avez un disque formaté en Btrfs, celui de votre Linux en dual-boot par exemple, et plutôt que Windows l'ignore totalement comme votre date ignore vos textos le lendemain, celui-ci arrive dans l'explorateur de fichiers avec sa petite lettre de lecteur, en lecture comme en écriture. Ce driver pour le système de fichiers Btrfs a été réécrit from scratch, sans reprendre une seule ligne du noyau Linux, et c'est quand même du LGPL.
