The second-gen Apple Watch SE is a gateway smartwatch if there ever was one. | Photo by Amelia Holowaty Krales / The Verge In September, Apple launched its latest smartwatch, introducing the Apple Watch Series 10 alongside a black rendition of the Apple Watch Ultra 2. Each wearable has its own pros and cons, as does the second-gen Apple Watch SE, but the recent introduction of the new wearables also means there are now more Apple Watch models on the market than ever before — and a lot more deals to be had.   The best Apple Watch Series 10 dealsThe best Apple Watch Series 9 dealsThe best Apple Watch SE dealsThe best Apple Watch Ultra 2 dealsA note on the more premium models But with all of those options,...

Adopté mardi à l’Assemblée nationale par 161 voix contre 56, le texte exige un « consentement libre et éclairé, spécifique, préalable et révocable » aux actes sexuels. Le RN et l’UDR d’Eric Ciotti s’y sont opposés, tout comme quelques socialistes qui s’interrogent sur son impact. La proposition de loi doit aussi être examinée au Sénat.

Could it be? A wireless plan that doesn’t suck? Visible, the budget wireless brand owned by Verizon, is offering a new premium plan that looks like a heck of a deal compared to its parent company’s offerings. The new Visible Plus Pro plan (I didn’t say the name was good) costs $45 per month. For that price you get unlimited 5G Ultrawideband (UW) data, which is an awfully good deal when you consider that Verizon’s own entry-level unlimited plan, Unlimited Welcome, starts at $65 per month and doesn’t include 5G UW. This new Plus Pro plan also comes without throttling. Many lower-cost carrier plans and MVNOs tend to offer a certain allotment of “premium” data. Once you exceed your allowance, you...

Early photography lacked the convenience of the stable roll film we all know, and instead relied on a set of processes which the photographer would have to master from film to final print. Photographic chemicals could be flammable or even deadly, and results took a huge amount of work.
The daguerreotype process of using mercury to develop pictures on polished metal, and the wet-collodion plate with its nitrocellulose solution are well-known, but as conservators at the British National Archives found out, there was another process that’s much rarer. The Pannotype uses a collodion emulsion, but instead of the glass plate used by the wet-plate process it uses a fabric backing.
We know so much about the other...

U.S. National Security Adviser Michael Waltz in the White House Oval Office on March 13, 2025. | Photo by Andrew Harnik/Getty Images Last week, National Security Advisor Michael Waltz inadvertently invited a journalist to a Signal chat discussing a planned military strike. Today, a new Washington Post report says that he has also discussed “sensitive military positions and powerful weapons systems relating to an ongoing conflict,” using his personal Gmail account. Waltz, along with other members of the National Security Council, used Gmail “for highly technical conversations with colleagues at other government agencies,” according to emails the Post saw, with headers showing that others on the emails...

Directeur du Trésor à la fin des années 1970, le haut fonctionnaire participa à la création du système monétaire européen. Nommé à la tête du « Lyonnais » sous François Mitterrand, il engagea la banque publique dans une stratégie de croissance tous azimuts, qui le mènera à sa chute.

Le ministre des affaires étrangères russe, Sergueï Lavrov, a affirmé, de son côté, avoir transmis à Washington une liste de sites énergétiques frappés par l’Ukraine.

Meta is reportedly preparing a higher-end version of its Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses with a built-in screen to launch as early as by the end of the year, Bloomberg reports. The new glasses, codenamed Hypernova, can run apps and display photos, all controlled using hand gestures and capacitive touch on the sides of the frame. Bloomberg reports that the screen will only be visible on the right lens at the lower-right quadrant, and is best viewed when looking downward. When the device is turned on, a home screen appears and displays icons horizontally, similar to a Meta Quest. Hypernova will also feature an improved camera compared to the current model, and will continue building upon the idea of having an AI...

Some Google Pixel users have found that their At a Glance widget has been showing outdated weather forecasts, as reported by Android Police. But the company says in a statement to The Verge that it’s addressing the issue. According to one user on Reddit who has been dealing with the problem, “the current temperature is fairly accurate, but the expected high/low forecast hasn’t been correct in the past week.” The expected temperatures in the weather app itself were also accurate, they said. Another user on Google’s support forums said that their Pixel 8A’s lock screen was showing “the weather for the correct location, but in the morning it shows yesterday’s forecast as the temperature...

Le ministère de l’éducation nationale a publié, mercredi 2 avril, une série d’indicateurs sur les résultats des établissements, qui permettent de catégoriser les lycées selon qu’ils sont « sélectifs », « performant » ou encore « accompagnateurs ». « Le Monde » vous donne accès à ces données et vous explique comment les lire.

Placing the failure of the live-action remake largely at Rachel Zegler’s feet is almost perversely flattering to her.

Meta's 'Hypernova' glasses could cost well over $1,000 and include a tiny display on one lens with its own, tiny app tray.

Lord Vetinari from the Discworld series is known for many things, but perhaps most of all a clock that doesn’t quite keep continuous time. Instead, it ticks away at random increments to infuriate those that perceive it, whilst keeping regular time over the long term. [iracigt] decided to whip up a real world version of this hilarious fictional timepiece.
The clock itself is an off-the-shelf timepiece purchased from Target for the princely sum of $5. However, it’s been deviously modified with an RP2040 microcontroller hidden away inside. The RP2040 is programmed to tick the clock at an average of once per second. But each tick itself is not so exact. Instead, there’s an erraticness to its beat – some...

Since the war began, more than 15,000 children have reportedly been killed, the agency says.

President Trump has dubbed April 2 as “Liberation Day,” when he plans to announce a package of tariffs. So far, economists and experts are left guessing as to what tariffs will be imposed. Many speculate that the European Union will receive the brunt of the tariffs, but India and Brazil have also been mentioned.Read more...

“Almost demonic” is how a surfer in Ventura County describes a sea lion that recently bit him. Down the coast in Long Beach, a 15-year-old says a sea lion attacked her when she was in the ocean over the weekend. Marine mammal scientists say a massive algal bloom is releasing toxins, known as domoic acid, that are making some animals more aggressive, and causing others to wash ashore either dead or seriously ill. Mattison Peters oversees veterinarian and response operations for the Marine Mammal Care Center (MMCC) in San Pedro. She says domoic acid is causing neurologic abnormalities in the animals, and they are less predictable. Although domoic acid is harmless to fish, problems arise when larger species...

La condamnation, lundi 31 mars, de Marine Le Pen pour détournement de fonds publics européens a fait vivement réagir sur les plateaux télévisés du monde entier. Pour les chaînes conservatrices, l’inéligibilité de cinq ans dont a écopé la présidente du RN est perçue comme une atteinte grave à la démocratie.

Many of us know the basic Blink Arduino sketch, or have coded similar routines on other microcontrollers. Flashing an LED on and off—it doesn’t get much simpler than that. But how big should a blink sketch be? Or more importantly, how small could you get it? [Artful Bytes] decided to find out.
The specific challenge? “Write a program that runs on a microcontroller and blinks an LED. The ON and OFF times should be as close to 1000 ms as possible.” The challenge was undertaken using a NUCLEO-L432KC Cortex-M4 with 256 K of flash and 64 K of RAM.
We won’t spoil the full challenge, but it starts out with an incredibly inefficient AI & cloud solution. [Artful Bytes] then simplifies by switching to an RTOS...

Marine Le Pen has said a "nuclear bomb" was used against her party to stop it getting into power.

When a Loch Ness Monster story appears at the start of April, it pays to check the date on the article just to avoid red faces. But there should be no hoax with this one published on the last day of March, scientists from the UK’s National Oceanography Centre were conducting underwater robotics tests in Scotland’s Loch Ness, and stumbled upon a camera trap lost by Nessie-hunters in the 1970s. Just to put the cherry on the cake of a perfect news story, the submarine in question is the famous “Boaty McBoatface”, so named as a consolation after the British Antarctic Survey refused to apply the name to their new ship when it won an online competition.

While there’s still a vaguely robot-shaped hole in our heart from the loss of the New York World Maker Faire, we do take comfort in the fact that smaller Maker Faire events are still happening all over the world, and some of them have managed to gain quite a bit of momentum over the last few years.
If you’re in the Northeast US, the Philadelphia Maker Faire is your best bet to scratch that peculiar itch that only seems to respond to a healthy blend of art, technology, and the occasional flamethrower. It will be returning to the Cherry Street Pier this Sunday, April 6th, and pay-what-you-can tickets are on sale now. The organizers encourage each attendee to only pay what they are able to afford, with...

Vous connaissez cette nouvelle blague au sujet des ingénieurs de chez Google ?
Et bien ils ont inventé un nouveau type de chiffrement “end-to-end” (de bout en bout), sauf que ce n’est pas vraiment “end-to-end”. Bienvenue dans le monde merveilleux du marketing tech, où les mots n’ont plus le même sens que dans le dictionnaire.
C’est ainsi qu’aujourd’hui, Google nous sort une “révolution” pour le chiffrement des emails dans Gmail qui n’est pas un poisson d’avril et qui mérite qu’on y regarde de plus près…

As England’s top football competition, the Premier League draws hundreds of millions of viewers from all over the world.
Aside from the sportive stakes, the Premier League also has a vested interest in selling broadcast rights. These rights generate billions of pounds in revenue per year; a staggering amount unmatched by any other football league.
Yet, other leagues are not the main threat to these broadcast revenues. Instead, piracy has emerged as the Premier League’s main nemesis, as many football fans turn to cheaper pirate streaming services to watch ‘the people’s game’.
In recent years, the Premier League has tried several legal avenues to tackle the piracy problem. In addition to obtaining...

Même si ça fait quelques années que je n’utilise plus Windows au quotidien, je me souviens encore très bien de cette sensation de panique qui nous envahit quand notre PC refuse de démarrer et que l’écran bleu de la mort vient nous narguer (d’ailleurs, il va bientôt changer de look ce BSOD). Tout utilisateur de Windows a déjà perdu, un jour, une journée entière à cause d’un Windows qui plante au démarrage. C’est la base !
