Sony is retiring the PlayStation Plus app for PC on December 10th. Sony says it will notify users directly about the shutdown. The app allowed PlayStation Plus Premium subscribers to stream certain games on PC, but according to Sony, there aren't many people using that perk: "With a very small number of eligible PlayStation Plus Premium members (less than 0.4%) using the PlayStation Plus app on PC, making this change allows us to focus on enhancing high-quality experiences that more of our members want to use. As a result, the PlayStation Plus cloud streaming app on PC will no longer be available." PlayStation Plus Premium subscribers ca …

SpaceX announced a new version of its all-in-one satellite internet terminal that integrates a dish, Wi-Fi router, and now a battery into a single device about the size of a laptop. According to some users on X who shared screenshots of invitations to order Starlink Mini 2, the dish is priced at $999, which includes a full year of Roam Unlimited service that SpaceX values at $2,100.
The Starlink Mini 2 will run for up to 4.5 hours on a full charge, SpaceX claims, but that can be expanded by hot-swapping in additional batteries that will be sold separately, or by connecting the dish to a 60W power source over USB-C.

As espionage targets go, Jensen Huang is perhaps one of the least surprising on Earth. The Nvidia CEO runs one of the world's most valuable companies, controls the in-demand technology fueling the AI boom, and is cozy with presidents, CEOs, and all manner of important people. He also wears a cool leather jacket.
Which makes Huang's admission that he had an affair with a woman suspected of being a Chinese spy - reportedly while her spying was known to US intelligence and even President Donald Trump - all the more shocking. The fallout goes well beyond his marriage, his reputation, or Nvidia itself. Experts tell The Verge the incident threate …

After years of third-party Android trackers from companies like Samsung, Motorola, and Pebblebee, Google's Pixel Tag is now available for purchase. First announced in August, the Pixel Tag is designed to work with Google's tracking network and app that was renamed the Find Hub last year. The Pixel Tag is priced similar to Apple's AirTag 2. A single tracker costs $29.99 while a four-pack is discounted to $99.99.
At 0.4 ounces, the Pixel Tag is slightly lighter than the AirTag 2 and while its oblong design is longer than Apple's tracker, Google's is a bit thinner. It doesn't include a hole to attach it to keys, luggage, or other items you wan …

Google is adding a new feature to its underwhelming HiLight light on the back of Pixel 11 Pro phones: as part of the November 2026 Pixel Drop, the light can light up when you get Google Messages texts from your favorite contacts. Sure, it's a small addition to the disappointing ways you could use HiLight at the Pixel 11 Pro's August launch, which included glowing when you used Gemini and lighting up for calls from your favorite contacts. But it's something!

Over the past decades CRISPR, short for “clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats”, has become somewhat of a household name, holding the promise of directly addressing genetic mutations by effectively removing, silencing, or even fixing them. Yet the original purpose of CRISPR is slightly less cute and cuddly: the evolutionary origin of these DNA sequences is that of a core component of the prokaryotic immune system.
In most medical applications today we only try to use CRISPR to detect sequences and then apply enzymes such as the well-known Cas9 to cut DNA at specific locations in the process of gene-editing. In a recent study (paywalled, bioRxiv pre-print) by Jingkun Zheng et al. in...

Statistics is one of those fields which people tend to love or hate when they’re confronted with it during their school time. Although incredibly useful and even essential in many fields, including finance and engineering, it’s not always easy to grasp even the basics such as those pertaining to distributions. The Central Limit Theorem (CLT) is an essential element there, which [Greg Foletta] tried to make easier to comprehend using some code samples and visualizations.
The essential summary of the CLT is that if you take the mean of each sample in a set, once you have enough (>30) samples, the distribution of the sample means approaches a normal distribution. This is quite the theorem to put out there,...

Summary: The following is an adapted excerpt of The Grim Old Days, the latest book authored by HumanProgress.org Research Fellow Chelsea Follett. This section, taken from chapter 5, “Marriage,” details the harsh reality of matrimony in preindustrial Europe. With few potential partners, child brides and grooms, early deaths, frequent remarriage, and near-universal adultery among the nobility, marriage was usually far from the romantic commitment it is today. Preindustrial marriage was not the fairy tale that many people imagine. Some assume that in the villages of yore, life was simpler, love and marriage came easily, and most of our ancestors lived happily ever after in contented, wedded bliss. In reality,...

Pedro Sánchez peut-il réussir son pari ?

Raspberry Pi has just leaked information on the Pi Zero 3W. They did it by publishing a DeviceTree file that describes the hardware of the Pi Zero. This is how we know it has the BCM2711 (Pi 4 CPU), makes use of PCIe (maybe it’s even exposed!), has an onboard power button, an extra power LED, and an eMMC option. If I were to guess, this will be the first dual-sided Pi Zero board, and if I were to have hope, it finally has USB-C.
Don’t believe it? Go read the DeviceTree file for yourself — it’s exceptionally easy to read it between the lines. DeviceTree files tell the Linux kernel, or other OS kernels, what CPU to expect, what drivers to load, which interfaces are exposed on your board, and the devices...

Deux ans après le retour de Donald Trump à la Maison-Blanche, les électeurs américains ont largement sanctionné son camp. Organisées à mi-parcours du mandat présidentiel, les midterms permettent de renouveler l'intégralité des 435 sièges de la Chambre des représentants et environ un tiers du Sénat (35 sièges en jeu sur 100 cette année). Si le dépouillement se poursuit dans plusieurs circonscriptions, les démocrates ont d'ores et déjà obtenu suffisamment de sièges pour contrôler les deux chambres du Congrès. Les représentants et sénateurs élus ce 3 novembre entreront en fonctions le 3 janvier 2027. À LIRE AUSSIMidterms : les démocrates reprennent le contrôle du Congrès, Donald...

Before long, this expanded into informal events in the apartment’s shared living room, from movie screenings and music gigs...
[Adrian Black]’s enthusiasm is palpable as he shows off something truly unusual: a Lobo MAX-80 computer from 1982. To call this machine rare would be an understatement, as the company folded soon after its release. The one shown here is the first one [Adrian] has ever seen, never mind that he had never even heard of it before.
Aggressively priced and only around for a short time, it’s unknown how many were actually built.
The MAX-80 was a Z80-based computer that was CP/M and LDOS compatible. As [Adrian] puts it, many companies and innovative products came and went during this time period. There was so much, and most of it has simply disappeared.

In June, WeLib became the second shadow library to be sued by the same group of book companies, after Anna’s Archive.
According to the complaint, the relatively young site was built on code and books that it copied from Anna’s Archive.
WeLib’s anonymous operators didn’t respond to the lawsuit, which prompted the publishers to request a default judgment last month. Their brief borrowed heavily from one they had filed against Anna’s Archive earlier this year, including a claim about BitTorrent that didn’t appear to fit the WeLib case.
After reviewing the paperwork, U.S. District Judge Victor Marrero nonetheless granted the request in full. In an order issued yesterday, he gave the publishers...

Microsoft vient de sortir une nouvelle manette Xbox, la Xbox Nano. Et même si elle n’est pas sans défaut, cette nouvelle manette est plutôt intéressante. Comme son nom l’indique, elle est plus petite que la manette classique, et son prix aussi (plus ou moins) : 50 € contre officiellement 65 € pour une manette de Xbox (même si ça dépend de la couleur). Commençons par le positif : la manette reprend l’agencement de la manette classique dans un format (beaucoup) plus compact. Elle est moins large, moins haute, moins épaisse et moins lourde (103 grammes vs. 269 grammes). Ce qui n’empêche pas la manette de proposer la même chose (ou presque) qu’une manette classique : deux sticks...
