En septembre 2022, au moment où Vladimir Poutine annonçait une mobilisation militaire en Russie, de nombreux jeunes hommes ont quitté le pays pour éviter d’être envoyés sur le front. Ils ont ainsi emboîté le pas à ceux qui, dans la foulée de l’invasion de l’Ukraine, avaient déjà fui. Deux vagues d’émigration qui ont divisé la société, observe un chroniqueur du média russe “Republic”.

I wonder if this person is a better shot than most Stormtroopers. | Image: EA and Disney Star Wars Zero Company will release sometime in 2026, according to an announcement from Disney and EA. The game’s title was revealed earlier this week. Alongside the release year, the two companies also shared a bit more information about what you can expect from the game. “In Star Wars Zero Company, players will step into the shoes of Hawks, a former Republic officer, to command an elite squad of cunning operatives through a gritty and authentic story set in the twilight of the Clone Wars,” according to a press release. You’ll be able to customize Hawks’ appearance and class, and team members you recruit can...

While ham radio operators have been embracing digital mobile radio (DMR), the equipment is most often bought since — at least in early incarnations — it needs a proprietary CODEC to convert speech to digital and vice versa. But [QRadioLink] decided to tackle a homebrew and open source DMR modem.
The setup uses a LimeSDR, GNU Radio, and Codec2. There are some other open DMR projects, such as OpenRTX. So we are hopeful there are going to be more choices. The DMR modem, however, is only a proof-of-concept and reuses the MMDVMHost code to do the data link layer.
[QRadioLink] found several receiver implementations available, but only one other DMR transmitter — actually, a transceiver. Rather than use an AMBE...

Cette ville de Vénétie n’est pas seulement réputée pour être le décor de “Roméo et Juliette”. Pour les Italiens, Vérone est célèbre pour ses sonneurs de cloches. Ils sont plus de 2 000 adeptes, parfois très jeunes, à faire perdurer la tradition de la “méthode véronaise”, datant du XVIIIᵉ siècle, raconte le site “Il Post”.

C’est un problème assez rare, mais il peut parfois être nécessaire de monter un volume en lecture seule, pour éviter que macOS modifie les informations de la FAT ou ajoute ses fichiers énervants. Si les personnes qui ont vraiment besoin de ça passeront par des bloqueurs d’écriture au niveau matériel (certains adaptateurs USB vers SATA le permettent, par exemple), il existe une solution logicielle. Disk Arbitrator est un utilitaire open source qui n’est pas tout neuf (il n’a pas été mis à jour depuis cinq ans) mais il fonctionne toujours sous macOS Sequoia avec un Mac Apple Silicon. Le fonctionnement est simple, et il utilise les API de macOS pour faire son boulot : une fois lancé, les...

Back in the olden days, there existed physical game stores, which in addition to physical games would also have kiosks where you could try out the current game consoles and handhelds. Generally these kiosks held the console, a display and any controllers if needed. After a while these kiosks would get scrapped, with only a very few ending up being rescued and restored. One of the lucky ones is a Game Boy kiosk, which [The Retro Future] managed to snag after it was found in a construction site. Sadly the thing was in a very rough condition, with the particle board especially being mostly destroyed.

Inaugurée en mars dernier, l’exposition Pollen met en scène des œuvres dont les matériaux naturels évoluent, mutent et se dégradent au fil du temps. Questionnant ouvertement la pérennité de l'art, ce récit de collection nous pousse à repenser notre rapport au vivant et à cultiver de nouveaux imaginaires moins anthropocentrés.

Avec, notamment, la crise du modèle des hypermarchés, les plans de suppression de postes se succèdent au sein des groupes de distribution alimentaire (Auchan, Casino…). Les enseignes spécialisées sont également touchées.

De l’immigration à la guerre dans la bande de Gaza ou le gel de l’aide humanitaire internationale, les sujets de friction entre Washington et le Vatican ne manquent pas. La rencontre, samedi, entre le vice-président des Etats-Unis et le cardinal Parolin, numéro deux du Saint-Siège, doit en partie solder la dispute et rappeler l’unité de l’Eglise.

Just in absolute awe seeing the results of these products and how well they work.View Entire Post ›

Although we tend to see mostly the glorious and fun parts of hanging out in a space station, the human body will not cease to do its usual things, whether it involves the digestive system, or even something as mundane as the hair that sprouts from our heads. After all, we do not want our astronauts to return to Earth after a half-year stay in the ISS looking as if they got marooned on an uninhabited island. Introducing the onboard barbershop on the ISS, and the engineering behind making sure that after a decade the ISS doesn’t positively look like it got the 1970s shaggy wall...

Trump's comments came hours after US Secretary of State Marco Rubio warned that the US could abandon talks.

Elon Musk with DOGE eyes. In a letter to the Social Security Administration’s Inspector General’s office requesting an investigation into DOGE, Ranking Member Rep. Gerald Connolly (D-VA) alleged that the government entity created by Elon Musk supposedly to reduce the size of the federal government is now constructing a “cross-agency master database” of sensitive personal information. Wired appeared to back up Connolly’s allegations on Friday, detailing an effort at DOGE to fold this  database into the Department of Homeland Security, the counterterrorism agency founded after 9/11. Specifically, “mass amounts” of personal data harvested from the IRS, SSA, and voting records in Pennsylvania and...

How far can you stretch a measuring tape before it buckles? The answer probably depends more on the tape than the user, but it does show how sturdy the coiled spring steel rulers can be. [Gengzhi He et. al.] may have been playing that game in the lab at UC San Diego when they hit upon the idea for a new kind of low-cost robotic gripper.
Four motors, four strips of measuring tape (doubled up)– one robot hand.
With the lovely backronym “GRIP-tape” — standing for Grasping and Rolling in Plane — you get a sense for what this effector can do. Its two “fingers” are each made of loops of doubled-up measuring tape bound together with what looks suspiciously like duck tape. With four motors total, the...

The government should be scrutinizing Meta’s power. Unfortunately, its legal attack isn’t cutting to the heart of what keeps Meta big. This week, I spent three days in a Washington, DC courtroom watching Mark Zuckerberg testify. He was there defending his company from being broken up by the Federal Trade Commission, which is seeking to unwind his acquisitions of Instagram and WhatsApp on the grounds that they were anticompetitive. At times, he was made uncomfortable and challenged with evidence that he wanted to “neutralize” rivals. Primarily, what I observed was the FTC’s misunderstanding of how social media works.  To establish the market it argues Meta has a...

After years of rumors, Nintendo has finally announced a release date for the Switch 2. The long-awaited successor to the Switch will be available on June 5th for $449.99, bringing a handful of games and accessories along with it. Nintendo initially announced the Switch 2 would be available for preorder in the US as both a standalone console and as a limited-edition bundle with Mario Kart World starting on April 9th for $499.99. In a strange turn, Nintendo delayed preorders in response to tariffs, but we now have a confirmed preorder date for the console, its accessories, and its games: April 24th. The console’s price is unchanged, although some accessories have increased slightly in price. When can I...

As Trump threatens to walk from peace talks, a mineral deal looks unlikely to offer Ukraine security.

Tesla has plenty of Cybertrucks listed on its website, and they’ve got some hefty discounts, including many for about $10,000 off, Electrek reports. Many are from the 2024 model year and include limited “Foundation Series” Cybertrucks that ended production in October, plus some lightly used “demo” ones we saw that have racked up around 300 miles on the odometer. Some Cybertruck models in stock won’t be eligible for the $7,500 federal tax credit either due to their age or because the sticker price is too high. But as of this writing, interested buyers could get more than that with the available discounts, including as much as a $11,990 cut off a top Cyberbeast model that usually sells for $119,990....

The FCC recently launched investigations into several media companies, with MSNBC as its latest target of special focus. FCC Chairman Brendan Carr has questioned whether certain MSNBC broadcasts serve the “public interest.” Meanwhile, the Writers Guild is making headlines for blocking members from working on a film produced by Martin Scorsese. Kim Masters and Matt Belloni take a closer look. White noise? As the Trump administration continues to pressure media companies, FCC Commissioner Brendan Carr is targeting MSNBC over what he describes as “news distortion.” Could this spark yet another lawsuit from the commander in chief? “The president has extracted money from ABC News, $16 million to settle...

Daryl Hannah's new concert film Coastal offers an intimate look into her husband Neil Young’s 2023 solo tour. She says the biggest challenge was predicting where to place the cameras on stage in order to capture his ever-changing performances. “He doesn't even know what he's going to play until he gets out on stage,” says Hannah. “So even when his guitar tech in the movie at one point asks him: “Should I tune old black in G for the song?” he goes, “It will reveal itself in the moment. You've got a 50/50 chance.” And he goes, “Perfect. That's what we were anticipating.” Hannah opens up about her years of acting and activism, which she pursued alongside people like Willie Nelson, Joan Baez,...

À la fin du mois, les Canadiens se rendront aux urnes afin de voter aux élections fédérales anticipées afin d'élire les 343 députés de la 45e législature de la Chambre des communes du Canada. Une séquence électorale sous tension, la complosphère n’étant jamais très loin des débats.

Although there are plenty of methods for effectively imaging a 3D space, LiDAR is widely regarded as one of the most effective methods. These systems use a rapid succession of laser pulses over a wide area to create an accurate 3D map. Early LiDAR systems were cumbersome and expensive but as the march of time continues on, these systems have become much more accessible to the average person. So much so that you can quickly attach one to a Raspberry Pi and perform LiDAR imaging for a very reasonable cost.
This software suite is a custom serial driver and scanning system for the Raspberry Pi, designed to work with LDRobot LiDAR modules like the LD06, LD19, and STL27L. Although still in active development, it...

"Growing up, for me, food was just food," says investigative journalist Benjamin Lorr . He says that food has become a vehicle for performative consumption. In the same way that people may buy a Rolex to demonstrate their taste, consumers exhibit identity, health, and ecological consciousness by the brands they choose to eat. While researching his book, The Secret Life of Groceries , he rode with a trucker who made $100 during the week he spent with her. He says trucking is as dangerous as working in the timber and deep sea fishing industries. Part of the success of Trader Joe's is targeting individual consumers, including the overeducated and underpaid, according to Benjamin Lorr. Photo courtesy of Avery.

"I think of [Costco] as a grocery store but I also think of it as a lifestyle," says journalist Ada Tseng . She's in the demographic sweet spot for the big box chain. In 2023, Business Insider reported that the average Costco shopper was a married Asian American woman between the ages of 35 and 44. Tseng admits she "married into an insane Costco family" and her husband is a shopping and deals fanatic. The couple goes on weekends and often makes a second stop during the week for gas. She says her spouse views the coupon book as though it's an instruction manual for a game. "It's almost like a dare to look around and get the best deals," she says. Because Costco's inventory varies from store to store, they've...

Emily Mester's childhood was punctuated by an excess of what she calls "getting." In her debut collection of essays, American Bulk , she explores how our lives are impacted by what we consume. Evan Kleiman: I so enjoyed your collection of essays. It's wonderfully written and fantastic food for thought. Emily Mester: Oh, thank you for reading. Did your family have a designated shopping day? Yes, it was Sunday. Not to say that shopping did not occur outside of Sunday, but Sunday was sort of, we didn't go to church, but that was kind of our day of retail. We would go to Costco , then before the Costco trip, which was every Sunday, we would go to REI sometimes or Service Merchandise or weird pet stores or Sam's...

An MS-13 leader knew key details of a secret deal that his gang allegedly made with the Salvadoran President—then the White House put him on a flight to El Salvador.

Triumph hasn’t spoiled the comedian, or settled her insecurities. “It just never goes away—that feeling of not being worthy, or being thought of as less than,” she says.

Eli Lilly (LLY) CEO Dave Ricks said Friday that the company will make its planned GLP-1 weight-loss pill in the U.S. amid President Donald Trump’s sweeping tariffs and his push to get companies to move production inside the country’s borders.Read more...

“World Bank President Ajay Banga on Wednesday doubled down on his push to revamp the bank’s energy strategy to end a ban on lending for nuclear power projects and enable more natural gas projects, saying he will seek executive board approval in June. The changes would mark a shift from the bank’s focus only on renewable energy projects, save for consideration for some gas projects in the poorest countries.” From Reuters.

Un superbe chant d’amour, un tableau de l’insupportable pression sociale dans une petite communauté villageoise, mais aussi le déchaînement de violence contre le livre de la part des fondamentalistes hindous, tout cela c’est Femme pour moitié de Perumal Murugan.

Dans le flot de livres consacrés au Japon, le récent ouvrage de Richard Collasse, écrivain romancier et homme d’affaires, « Errances dans le Japon mystique », mérite qu’on s’y attarde. Il est une porte d’entrée à la fois éclairée et intime, visuelle et nuancée, sur le sacré au Japon par un observateur bon vivant qui connaît extrêmement bien ce pays. Il l’a arpenté pendant plus de cinquante ans, notamment à la tête de la Maison Chanel, et en maîtrise parfaitement la langue.
