There's no evidence that Epstein is alive and hiding in Israel.

The science here gets really dark.

Plusieurs personnalités, liées à de grandes institutions norvégiennes, apparaissent dans les documents publiés par l’administration Trump. Outre le choc provoqué par certains échanges avec le prédateur sexuel, des soupçons de corruption planent désormais.

Gulikit's TT Pro and TT Max have many more stick and button options than a Switch 2 Pro controller, and they have one feature no other gamepad does.

The dollar has shed more than 10% of its value since Trump re-entered the Oval Office. The president says the weaker currency is "great"

Forget the Super Bowl, Samsung’s Fantastic S90F QD-OLED TV is on a sweet sale just in time for the Winter Olympics.

The White House defended the post at first, calling to "stop the fake outrage", as members of both parties condemned the video.

Fidget toys are everywhere these days. A particularly popular type simply puts some keyboard switches on a plate to provide a certain type of clicky satisfaction. [wjddnjsdnd] took that concept a step further, building a keychain-sized fidget toy that actually has games on it.
The build is based around six key switches in a 2 x 3 array. The key switches are notable in this case for being magnetic shaft keys. Rather than using a mechanical switch to indicate a keypress, the keycap instead merely moves a magnet which triggers a signal in a hall effect sensor beneath the key. In this case, the build uses A3144 hall effect sensors, which are read by the Arduino Nano running the show. The Nano is also hooked up to...

Saatva is providing a bedding bundle to Team USA hockey and figure skating at the 2026 Olympic Winter Games—here are my thoughts on it as a sleep coach.

Comment le géant automobile en est-il arrivé à passer une provision de 22 milliards d’euros dans ses comptes pour effectuer un rétropédalage industriel concernant le tout-électrique ? L’explication est organisationnelle, commerciale, mais aussi politique.

300 journalists have lost their jobs at The Washington Post. Over 300,000 readers have canceled their subscriptions. Owner Jeff Bezos, who purchased the legendary publication in 2013, has driven his reputation into the ground by using his vast empire to churn out content designed to make President Donald Trump happy: Amazon MGM Studios spent $40 million to produce a fawning documentary about Melania Trump, which premiered days before the Post sent out mass layoff notices. And yet, he's gotten nothing out of his attempts to suck up to Donald Trump - at least, nothing that's a net positive to his bottom line. Which begs the cynical question: …

“Argentina and the United States agreed Thursday to ease restrictions on each other’s goods in an expansive trade deal that boosts a drive by President Javier Milei to open up Argentina’s protectionist economy… After imposing sweeping tariffs on its trading partners, the Trump administration changed its tune last November in announcing framework deals with four Latin American countries, including Argentina. The White House argued that the reduction of tariffs on Argentine beef and Ecuadorian bananas, among other imports, would improve the ability of American firms to sell products abroad and relieve rising prices for American consumers. The announcement also came as Trump’s steep tariffs drew...

Living in a city means constant exposure to traffic, noise, crowds, and concrete. But what you see outside your front door may quietly shape your heart health over time. New research suggests that the kind of greenery lining your street matters more than you might think. A large study led by the University of California, Davis, found that city neighborhoods with more visible trees were linked to lower rates of heart disease. Areas dominated by grass or shrubs showed the opposite pattern. The findings add a surprising layer to what science knows about green space and health. Cardiovascular disease remains the leading cause of death in the United States. In 2023 alone, it claimed more than 900,000 lives,...

Fortnite developer Epic Games says the account some people believed to be linked to Jeffrey Epstein is a "ruse." In a reply on X, the developer writes, "an existing Fortnite account owner changed their username" to "littlestjeff1," an alias spotted in several emailed receipts from YouTube in the Epstein files.
The email suggests that "littlestjeff1" may have been connected to Epstein's YouTube account, prompting online sleuths to search for the username on other platforms. Users later uncovered a "littlestjeff1" account on Fortnite, along with a 2019 email that mentions purchasing VBucks in Fortnite - though the sender and recipient are red …

“Archaeologists have now found traces of a plant-based poison on several 60,000-year-old quartz Stone Age arrowheads found in South Africa, according to a new paper published in the journal Science Advances. That would make this the oldest direct evidence of using poisons on projectiles—a cognitively complex hunting strategy—and pushes the timeline for using poison arrows back into the Pleistocene.” From Ars Technica.

“The Don River in Toronto was once so polluted with waste, garbage and chemicals that it caught on fire. The water itself, which flows towards Lake Ontario, was so inhospitable that it hosted life’s very antithesis. Now, after huge efforts to renaturalize the area, researchers are seeing a rebirth. The river has gone from being pronounced dead in 1969 to a place that is attracting fish and other aquatic species. This month, Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) shared its findings from the Don River in 2025, which include more than 20 fish species documented in its waters. For the first time since 2012, an Atlantic Salmon was found in the area, along with the first-ever Emerald Bowfin — a...

La Catalane Ivet Lloansí vit depuis plus de quatre ans à Hawaii, où elle fait de la recherche à l’université et gagne sa vie comme kinésithérapeute tout en trouvant le temps de jouer au foot tous les jours. Au quotidien “La Vanguardia”, elle confie : “Je n’ai plus envie repartir.”

La journaliste a constaté une « altération certaine et effective de [sa] relation avec une partie de la direction de CNews » depuis sa prise de distance avec le maintien de M. Morandini, condamné notamment pour corruption de mineurs.

Le choix de l’actrice Lupita Nyong’o, pressentie pour interpréter le personnage d’Hélène dans le prochain film “L’Odyssée” de Christopher Nolan, a été vivement critiqué. La presse grecque vole au secours du réalisateur et défend le message universel de l’épopée d’Homère.

This week, Hackaday’s Elliot Williams and Kristina Panos met up over coffee to bring you the latest news, mystery sound results show, and of course, a big bunch of hacks from the previous seven days or so.
We found no news to speak of, except that Kristina has ditched Windows after roughly 38 years. What is she running now? What does she miss about Windows? Tune in to find out.
On What’s That Sound, Kristina thought it was a jackhammer, but [Statistically Unlikely] knew it was ground-tamper thingy, and won a Hackaday Podcast t-shirt! Congratulations!

Teddy Swims hopes this song ‘resonates’ with listeners? You don’t say. Spotify is launching About the Song in beta today, which offers context and facts about the song you're listening to. Premium users can scroll down to the new About the Song section for information while in the Now Playing view. At launch, it's only available for a limited number of tracks, but there are plans to expand it.
Bits of trivia and background about songs are presented as short, swipeable cards with information harvested from "third-party sources." The text is generated using machine learning, but Spotify at least cites its sources on the About the Song cards. The company declined to say whether the feature would eventually...

Le nombre de diagnostics de dépression et de trouble anxieux augmente régulièrement en Russie, tout comme la consommation de médicaments pour les traiter. Une évolution que les spécialistes attribuent autant à la “peur de l’inconnu”, sur fond de guerre en Ukraine, qu’à un meilleur accès aux soins.

La chercheuse Virginie Collombier évalue, dans un entretien au « Monde », les conséquences pour la Libye de la mort du fils du dictateur Mouammar Kadhafi, dont les funérailles se sont tenues vendredi 6 février à Beni Walid, dans l’ouest du pays.

Stanford University researchers have pulled back a curtain on a hidden part of Earth that rarely makes headlines. Their new work maps a strange kind of earthquake that starts deep below the crust, inside the continental mantle. The team says the map could help you understand how earthquakes begin, even the ones that shake your neighborhood. The study, published in Science, comes from Shiqi (Axel) Wang and geophysics professor Simon Klemperer at the Stanford Doerr School of Sustainability. They built what they call the first global map of these rare “continental mantle earthquakes,” events that happen beneath the crust but away from major subduction zones. “Until this study, we haven’t had a clear...

Memorials “Cut Glass Hammer”
Memorials is a duo fronted by Verity Susman, who was a central player in Electrelane back in the 2000s. Memorials has a different dynamic than Electrelane – more streamlined arrangements, a little jazzier in a David Axelrod way here and there – but there’s a lot of overlap in aesthetic, to the point that this could just be labeled new Electrelane material and no one would blink. Susman’s prim vocal tone and dry affect is unmistakable, and the post-Stereolab droning vintage organ/high momentum groove combo on “Cut Glass Hammer” has always been in her wheelhouse. Susman and drummer Matthew Simms aren’t breaking new ground here, but they’re expert craftspeople when...

As AI systems grow more powerful, Anthropic’s resident philosopher says the startup is betting Claude itself can learn the wisdom needed to avoid disaster.

The joy of camera hacking lies for many at the low end of the market. Not working with many-thousand-dollar Leicas, but in cheap snapshot cameras that can be had for next to nothing at a thrift store. [Marek Sokal] has a perfect example, in a 3D printed 35mm camera body using the lens and shutter assembly from a vintage Soviet Lomo Smena 8M.
The build is a work in progress, a printed assembly that holds the 35mm film cartridge, provides the focal plane for the film, and houses the take-up reel. It fits together with M2 screws, as per the Lomo lens.
We like this build, because we can see beyond the Lomo. In a box above the desk where this is being written there is a pile of old plastic snapshot cameras from the...

In a new research paper published in Science, cognitive scientists from Johns Hopkins University reported on a bonobo’s ability to participate in shared imaginative play that was previously considered unique to humans. Christopher Krupenye, an assistant professor of Psychological and Brain Sciences at Johns Hopkins, was one of the leaders of this research and received help from Amalia Bastos, now a lecturer at the University of St. Andrews in Scotland. In the course of the study, Kanzi, a 43-year-old bonobo currently living at the Ape Initiative, participated in many studies over his lifetime and has been shown to respond to spoken English by using a pointing gesture. During multiple controlled experiments...

When it comes to seaborne propulsion, one simple layout has largely dominated over all others. You pair some kind of engine with some kind of basic propeller at the back of the ship, and then you throw on a rudder to handle the steering. This lets you push the ship forward, left, and right, and stopping is just a matter of turning the engine off and waiting… or reversing thrust if you’re really eager to slow down.
This basic system works for a grand majority of vessels out on the water. However, there is a more advanced design that offers not only forward propulsion, but also steering, all in the one package. It may look strange, but the Voith Schneider propeller offers some interesting benefits to...

A supermassive black hole with a case of cosmic indigestion has been burping out the remains of a shredded star for four years; it is still going strong. That strange show is now being tracked by University of Oregon astrophysicist Yvette Cendes and her colleagues. Their new study, published in The Astrophysical Journal, says the black hole’s radio blast could keep climbing fast, then peak in 2027. “This is really unusual,” said Cendes, an astrophysicist at the UO who led the work. “I’d be hard-pressed to think of anything rising like this over such a long period of time.” The object is officially called AT2018hyz. Cendes likes a fun nickname too, “Jetty McJetface,” a nod to the internet-famous...

VirtualBox, le bon vieux logiciel de virtualisation d'Oracle, vient de franchir un cap plutôt inattendu. Le code de développement supporte désormais KVM comme backend sur Linux ! En gros, au lieu de s'appuyer uniquement sur son propre module noyau (qui, soyons honnêtes, a toujours été un poil galère à maintenir), l'outil de virtualisation peut maintenant utiliser l'hyperviseur natif de Linux.
Et c'est pas rien quand on sait que le logiciel d'Oracle et KVM se marchaient dessus depuis des années. C'était impossible de faire tourner les deux en même temps... Du coup, plutôt que de continuer à se battre, Oracle a décidé de faire copain-copain avec KVM. C'est pas bête !
L'idée vient à l'origine...

Nancy Guthrie, the 84-year-old mother of an NBC News presenter, is believed to have been abducted from her home in Tucson, Arizona.

Dementia is often described as a disease shaped by age and genetics, but daily choices also play a role. New international research suggests that what you eat, and where certain nutrients come from, may quietly shape brain health over decades. A large study led by Edith Cowan University and the Danish Cancer Research Institute finds that nitrates from vegetables appear linked to lower dementia risk, while nitrates from animal foods, processed meats, and even drinking water are associated with higher risk. The research followed more than 54,000 adults in Denmark for up to 27 years. During that time, 4,750 participants developed dementia, including 191 cases diagnosed before age 65. By tracking diets, water...

Much like how BusyBox crams many standard Unix commands and a shell into a single executable, so too does BreezyBox provide a similar experience for the ESP32 platform. A demo implementation is also provided, which uses the ESP32-S3 platform as part of the Waveshare 7″ display development board.
Although it invokes the BusyBox name, it’s not meant to be as stand-alone as it uses the standard features provided by the FreeRTOS-based ESP-IDF SDK. In addition to the features provided by ESP-IDF it adds things like a basic virtual terminal, current working directory (CWD) tracking and a gaggle of Unix-style commands, as well as an app installer.
The existing ELF binary loader for the ESP32 is used to run...

De la taxe Zucman à l’abattement fiscal des retraités, les Décodeurs retracent l’itinéraire d’une vingtaine de mesures ayant fait l’objet d’intenses discussions six mois durant, avant d’être abandonnées.

On parle souvent de sobriété numérique, mais c'est assez rare de voir ça appliqué concrètement dans le monde du jeu vidéo car d'ordinaire, c'est plutôt la course aux téraflops et aux textures 4K qui font pleurer votre carte graphique. Du coup, quand un projet comme Trois-Rivières déboule, je trouve que ça mérite qu'on s'y arrête 2 minutes. L'idée de Richard Hanna et de son équipe, c'est de proposer un jeu d'action-aventure en pixel-art qui ne se contente pas d'être joli, mais qui porte un vrai message engagé.
