Le nouveau président des États-Unis a proclamé que l’immigration à la frontière sud constituait une “invasion” et ordonné à l’armée de l’empêcher. Il met ainsi au cœur de la politique fédérale une notion mal définie, étroitement liée à l’imaginaire du “grand remplacement”, observent des médias progressistes.
Image: Plex After getting started on mobile back in November, Plex is ready to test its “reimagined” app experience on much bigger screens. Today the company announced that the preview has expanded to included tvOS. “Please keep in mind this is nowhere close to perfect, but we want to get feedback from the community as early as we can,” Plex wrote in the blog post. Live TV and on-demand rentals are prominently shown in the navigation bar, but if it’s anything like the mobile version, you can disable those if you only care about enjoying your personal library. Note that you’ve got to opt into this preview; the regular Plex app isn’t going anywhere just yet. Instructions for doing so can be found...

Steve Zahn and Rebecca Ferguson. | Image: Apple The second season of Silo — a postapocalyptic thriller on Apple TV Plus — has wrapped up, and the finale was the show at its very best. It was full of dramatic twists, painful sacrifices, brutal fights, beautiful shots of a decayed future, and in its final moments, a tease that shows how much larger and more expansive the story actually is. It left me excited about what’s coming next — but also wary that the show is running out of time to tell the full story.

Image: Sega Sega launched a new cross-platform game-linking service called Sega Accounts, reports Eurogamer. The company says the online profile system will bring “a host of benefits” for players, like bonuses for specific games and other promised features down the line.
You can create the account over at sega-account.com, and from there link it to your Nintendo, PlayStation, Xbox, and Steam accounts, with Epic Games coming soon. Doing so will net you a code for some bonus DLC: a new costume to use in Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii, which is out on February 20th.

President Donald Trump kicked off the first day of his presidency by signing a flurry of executive actions, including halting enforcement of the TikTok ban and rolling back the Biden administration’s artificial intelligence order. Having already run the country once before, Trump entered the presidency with the goal of hitting the ground running, having already selected nominees and chairs for key agencies that oversee tech. This time, Trump has the backing of many tech billionaires who attended his inauguration and showed up at his...

It seems like the widespread use of delivery drones by companies like Amazon and Wal-Mart has been perpetually just out of reach. Of course robotics is a tricky field, and producing a fleet of these machines reliable enough to be cost effective has proven to be quite a challenge. But on an individual level, turning any drone into one that can deliver a package is not only doable but is something [Iloke-Alusala] demonstrates with their latest project.
The project aims to be able to turn any drone into a delivery drone, in this case using a FPV drone as the platform. Two hitch-like parts are 3D printed, one which adds an attachment point to the drone and another which attaches to the package, allowing the drone...

If you’ve ever wondered what makes a computer tick, the Minimal 64×4 by [Slu4] is bound to grab your attention. It’s not a modern powerhouse, but a thoughtfully crafted throwback to the essence of computing. With just 61 logic ICs, VGA output, PS/2 input, and SSD storage, this DIY wonder packs four times the processing power of a Commodore 64.
What sets [Slu4]’s efforts apart is his refusal to follow the beaten track of CPU development. He imposes strict complexity limits on his designs, sticking to an ultra-minimalist Von Neumann architecture. His journey began with the ‘Minimal Ur-CPU’, a logic-chip-based computer that could crunch numbers but little else. Next came the ‘Minimal 64’, featuring...

This week, Alex Hutchison , writer and author of Endure and The Explorer’s Gene : Why We Seek Big Challenges, New Flavors, and the Blank Spots on the Map , talks about the Arrival Fallacy - that what we expect to feel after we accomplish a goal like getting a promotion or running a marathon sometimes doesn’t quite match up with our expectations. Rather than seeking a life changing transformation, Hutchinsons says to focus on the satisfaction and joy that’s gained from the process of achievement and not necessarily the outcome.

J’ai eu l’occasion de tester le boîtier Philips Hue Sync 8K pour iGeneration et même si le boîtier est (beaucoup) trop cher – 350 € -, il a quelques avantages intéressants si vous avez envie d’un équivalent de l’Ambilight… sans téléviseur Ambilight. Et il a l’avantage de fonctionner avec l’Apple TV en eARC si vous avz des HomePods, ce qui n’est pas anodin, tant la façon de faire d’Apple peut être bloquante. Je ne vais pas refaire le test, abonnez-vous à iGeneration pour le lire. Mais la partie sur l’Apple TV reste intéressante. Apple, donc, a choisi une voie un peu particulière avec l’Apple TV et les HomePods. Pour que les enceintes émettent le son du téléviseur ou...
Le patron de l’Agence France-Presse déplore, dans une tribune au « Monde », l’arrêt du fact-checking sur les réseaux sociaux de Meta : ce processus de vérification de l’information fondé sur des techniques journalistiques « n’a jamais prétendu être la solution à la désinformation, mais il est le socle de la riposte. »

La Commission européenne prépare quant à elle déjà sa copie, qu'elle soumettra aux États membres à ce moment-là. Mais ce ne sera pas simple, car l'Union européenne fait face à un “triangle d'incompatibilité budgétaire” pour consigner hausse des dépenses européennes dans des secteurs stratégiques, stagnation des contributions nationales et le remboursement à venir de la dette générée par le plan de relance...

In lieu of high-explosives, an exploding wire circuit can make for an interesting substitute. As [Hyperspace Pirate] demonstrates in a recent video, the act of pumping a lot of current very fast through a thin piece of metal can make for a rather violent detonation. The basic idea is that by having the metal wire (or equivalent) being subjected to a sufficiently large amount of power, it will not just burn through, but effectively vaporize, creating a very localized stream of plasma for the current to keep travelling through and create a major shockwave in the process.

Lubing your keyboard’s switches is definitely a personal preference, though we’re sure that many would call it absolutely necessary.
