La Néerlandaise a remporté, dimanche, la deuxième Grande Boucle de sa carrière. Dans une épreuve longtemps indécise, elle a pu compter sur le soutien sans faille de ses coéquipières de la formation FDJ United-Suez.

The Bald Range wildfire in British Columbia, still considered "out of control", has spread over 53 sq miles (136 sq km).

Dans leur prise de parole, dimanche, les cadres du parti Nazione ont dressé un constat quasiment identique à celui des clandestins du FLNC, qui ont récemment menacé les « non-Corses » venant s’installer dans l’île.

Israel's PM says its military will not pull out from Gaza until Hamas is "genuinely" disarmed.

The Irish Prison Service bought a bulletproof and bombproof van to transport the 49-year-old to court after his extradition from Dubai.

Sadly, there hasn't been a new episode of No Dogs in Space since July of 2024. Part four of the podcast's series on Can wrapped up an abbreviated season three, which focused on experimental rock. Don't get me wrong, I loved seasons one and two, but the show seemed to be gearing up for a deep dive into Krautrock, and I was hype. Unfortunately, that episode ended with hosts Marcus Parks (Last Podcast on the Left) and Carolina Hidalgo declaring they were going to do another season on punk (the topic of season one), only for the feed to go quiet. If you're a music obsessive, this is a must-listen podcast. Over the course of 73 episodes, the hu …

'One Piece' actor Emily Rudd and 'Scream' survivor Mason Gooding will fend off gators in Alexandre Aja's long-awaited sequel.

Sometimes you see a project just staring at you with proverbial puppy dog eyes and you just cannot look away. In the case of a once rather nice Sony TV it was the smooth 32″ Trinitron CRT that gave [Happychoice] that look when he came across it along the side of the road. Naturally he had to beg the owner of the junkyard to please let him adopt the pupp^Wjunked TV and attempted an ill-advised repair.
Some later sleuthing revealed that this poor TV had been sitting on the side of that road for at least six years, exposed to the worst that the Italian weather and local fauna could do to it, so it was no surprise that all he got out of it even after cleaning and some repairs was a sad triple-blink of the power...

You know Apple has all your data, but do you really want to be made aware of it?

Parti lundi près de Bellegarde-en-Diois, dans le massif du Claps, le feu a connu deux reprises dans la matinée de dimanche. Un autre incendie, qui s’est déclaré dimanche midi en Lozère, avait déjà parcouru 153 hectares dans la soirée, selon les pompiers locaux.

L’Association nationale de police judiciaire a réagi, dimanche, au courrier – révélé par « Le Monde » – adressé par le ministre de la justice à son homologue de l’intérieur, Laurent Nuñez, dévoilant les graves défaillances des services d’enquête dans la prise en compte des violences faites aux mineurs.

2026 has been a busy year for Netflix's original programming, and it doesn't seem 'The Witcher' is part of it anymore.

Mark Zuckerberg's yacht "The Launchpad" | Image: Sylvain Lefevre / Getty Images Earlier this week, the Alaskan cruise ship Wilderness Legacy rescued a small skiff stranded near Farragut Bay after running out of fuel. But, according to tracking data reviewed by the Alaska Beacon and Halifax Shipping News, the closest vessel was actually Mark Zuckerberg's super yacht, Launchpad.
Michael Love, a passenger on the Wilderness Legacy, posted on Bluesky that the captain announced the Launchpad was closer, but "repeatedly refused to respond," which was met with booing from the passengers. The AIS tracking (embedded below) seems to support that the Launchpad was closer to the vessel in trouble, but then stopped near the...

It’s often claimed that wearable devices cannot have user-replaceable batteries or even be serviceable at all due to how compact and waterproof they must be, yet there are plenty of examples belying those claims. So too for smart glasses with their compact size and the need to be fully waterproof. They would be certified e-waste as soon as the built-in battery stops being a battery, assuming these claims were true. Recently [iFixit] bought a few Chinese smart glasses to see just how repairable they are, with the Rokid one being very surprising.
The first nice feature of both two Chinese smart glasses is that they have an external battery that clips on in addition to an internal one. Internally they’re...

Head Coach Kyle Shanahan of the San Francisco 49ers | Image: Michael Zagaris / San Francisco 49ers / Getty Images Four weeks ago, San Francisco 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan was involved in an accident near downtown Palo Alto. At the time Shanahan said only that the accident was his fault. But during a recent press conference he shared more details about the incident, including the fact that he had his Tesla's Autopilot engaged at the time. Shanahan was not passing the buck, however, saying it was his fault regardless of whether or not Autopilot was engaged. "I've had Autopilot for nine years, so I'm pretty comfortable with it and, you know, who knows what happened when I turned around? Whether it malfunctioned or...

L’arraisonnement d’un yacht transportant une cargaison de corail rouge pêché illégalement en mer Égée révèle l’ampleur d’un trafic international. Le manque d’une cartographie précise des coraux rouges présents dans les eaux grecques et l’absence de contrôles ne permettent pas de préserver cette espèce marine particulièrement vulnérable, estiment les médias grecs.

Prosecutors accuse six others, including the leader of cartel Los Lobos, of having an indirect role in the murder of Fernando Villavicencio.

Réputé pour son architecture coloniale française et sa structure circulaire plantée au cœur de la ville, le marché Kermel est l’un des plus emblématiques de la capitale sénégalaise. Mais avec l’évolution des modes de consommation de la classe moyenne, il est de plus en plus déserté au profit des livraisons de courses et des supermarchés, regrette le quotidien local “Le Soleil”.

Témoin de l’évolution du narcobanditisme dans la région, Clémence Girard, directrice de la section criminalité organisée du parquet de Paris, revient, dans un entretien au « Monde », sur la montée en puissance des factions criminelles et leur organisation à partir du territoire francilien.

Transmitting analog video via photons is old hat: that’s how everything started, after all, back in the day with over-the-air TV. Up the frequency of those photons from radio to visible light, though? Well, now that’s rather interesting. [Daniel] aka [milar111]’s LYME 101– which doesn’t seem to stand for anything–laser-video transmitter/receiver pair was a strong contender in the recently-completed Frikken’ Laser Beams challenge, but somehow we missed putting it up on the blog.
The project is documented quite well on GitHub as linked above, as well as on Instructables, and Hackaday.io, and in a YouTube video we’ve embedded below so you can see it in action. In principle it’s pretty simple: a...

In 2018 I bet my reputation and self-worth on a huge crowdfunded game design project. It could have been a failure for many reasons, but the one I became most worried about was losing all of the work that was stored locally on my home-built PC - a scenario that would have left a lot of people very upset and placed me in deep trouble. I wasn't irresponsible, I had local backups, but at some point I found myself in custody of so many important files that it scared me. And no matter how many redundancies I could build at home, they'd all still be in the same place - a risky bet. So I bought a subscription to Dropbox. Years later, it's still one …

Long before ChatGPT became a thing, educators and editors frequently used anti-plagiarism tools to see if writers were being honest about their work. These tools work by comparing a written work against a database filled with content from across the web, scholarly articles, and more to check for matching sentences and phrases. Some, like Turnitin, offer a percentage th …

Whether you’re training hard, traveling often, or dealing with poor circulation, these are the best compression boots for anyone looking for better muscle recovery.

[Jan] of [Roetz 4.0] has a unique approach to multi-material 3D printing: he’s designed an extruder which takes two different materials and extrudes one as a shell around the other. This opens up some interesting possibilities, such as a conductive filament surrounded by an insulating shell; [Jan], however, didn’t have an immediate use for the process, so he moved on to a related technique: extruding plastic tubes with a compressed-air core.
The extruder he used for this was a variation on the dual-material extruder; it takes in two strands of filament, melts them, and extrudes them as a shell around the outlet of a compressed-air line, which was controlled by a high-precision pressure regulator. During...

You’ve almost certainly heard of the Xerox Alto, the machine that pioneered the desktop-mouse-keyboard interface and inspired Steve Jobs to produce the Apple Lisa and Macintosh computers. It wasn’t just having a desktop, though– so much of our modern computing paradigm was invented on these machines.

[Ctrl+Alt+Fail] has a video that answers the question: whatever happened to the computer of tomorrow, anyway?
It goes through the whole story of the Alto, from its introduction at Xerox PARC in the 1970s to its demise. At the introduction, the engineers showed of the What You See Is What You Get...

Dans les années nonante (et un peu dans les années 2000), un salon se tenait à Cannes, le MILIA (Marché International des Contenus Interactifs). Et en 1995, on a pu voir la Pippin.

Le 21 janvier 1793, Louis XVI est guillotiné à Paris, sous le regard médusé des monarchies du Vieux Continent. Un événement clé de la Révolution française qui a façonné l’identité de la France, le pays des Lumières et de la Terreur. Et si, au lieu d’être mis à mort, Louis XVI et Marie-Antoinette avaient été condamnés à l’exil ? C’est l’hypothèse explorée dans cette uchronie prenant la forme d’un extrait de manuel d’histoire imaginaire, publiée initialement dans les pages de FUTUR, le magazine d’Usbek & Rica (n°46, janvier 2025, toujours disponible).

About 4 years ago, I looked into how effective my SSH tarpits were.
Since then, I've also deployed an AI crawler tarpit (technically a maze - it generates an endless number of pages) to serve "content" up to crawlers who ignore my "No Entry" signs.
I thought that it might be interesting to take a quick look at trends for both, so this post provides high-level analysis of the statistics that my tarpits generate. SSH Tarpit
The analysis that I performed in 2022 used a week of data, so to keep things consistent, I'll do the same here.

Sam and Louise Sullivan “Love & Devotion”
“Love and Devotion” is a lovely, laid back, and agreeable song about being in love, but it’s written from a somewhat contrarian point of view. Here’s what Sam Sullivan has to say about it:
“These days, it seems like people are always saying, ‘ooh, love is so hard; let’s work on our relationship; we need to find compromise.’ No. Wrong. Love is easy, actually. Love is quite fun. Don’t fall for this insidious, anti-love propaganda.” If you’re in a happy relationship, it can feel like you’ve cracked a code for living and everyone who hasn’t figured out can look a bit foolish. It can make you quite smug! But Sullivan is right about this. Love...
