Un Destiny 3 serait bien à l'étude, mais pas avant un petit moment puisque Bungie a décider de se concentrer à fond sur Destiny 2 et ce, pendant encore un bon moment. Voici tout ce que l'on sait sur le prochain jeu de la série, qui aura de sacrés attentes à combler...Tantôt annulé, tantôt reteasé : Destiny 3 est toujours en projet mais pour l'instant, c'est son grand frère Destiny 2 qui va être au centre de l'attention. Alors qu'on se souvient de l'excitation en 2017 avec l'annonce du deuxième jeu, on peine à imaginer ce qu'un 3ème jeu provoquerait chez les fans... La licence fait partie des grands jeux de ces dernières années et on a hâte de suivre la suite de son parcours. Bungie a désormais les pleins droits sur la saga Destiny après avoir racheté la licence à Activision/Blizzard. Une transaction à plusieurs centaines de millions de dollars qui doit être rentabilisée, et cela va se faire à travers un suivi post-lancement exemplaire pour Destiny 2. Ainsi, plusieurs DLC et packs de contenus additionnels sont lancés encore aujourd'hui pour "procurer une vraie expérience comme nous l'entendions". Mais du coup, cela passe par des sacrifices : Si vous aimez les jeux et la science-fiction et que vous n'avez jamais joué à Destiny 2, on ne peut que vous conseiller de vous lancer avant la sortie du prochain opus. Pourtant très attendu de la communauté, Destiny 3 va donc devoir s'effacer devant son prédécesseur. Mais au niveau des ajouts qui pourraient être de la partie, les développeurs ont toujours été assez expressifs. En fait, tout ce qu'ils annonçaient et prévoyaient s'est finalement retrouvé dans Destiny 2. Le système de saison est l'une des mécaniques que le studio préfère le plus puisqu'elle permet d'introduire du contenu petit à petit, fidélisant les joueurs autour de piliers qui sont enrichis au fur et à mesure. Idéal pour construire un vrai univers, Destiny 3 aura lui aussi un tel système de game as a service. Comme pour Destiny 2, c'est une façon d'ajouter du contenu régulièrement sans avoir à produire un nouveau jeu. Beaucoup de jeux font le choix de ce modèle dernièrement. C'est par exemple la direction que pourrait prendre la licence Assassin's Creed dans le futur. Plus encore, Destiny 3 pourrait être considéré comme un game as a platform, c'est-à-dire un jeu qui viendrait changer du tout au tout à des moments clefs. Pensez à Fortnite ou Warzone, qui n'hésitent plus à changer leur maps et à chambouler tout le scénario, l'époque etc. Avec un tel modèle, fini les extensions payantes que l'on connaît depuis des années dans le monde du jeu vidéo. Le nouveau contenu est gratuit et il est disponible au fil du temps avec les mises à jour de saisons. https://gaming.gentside.com/jeux-video/consoles-et-pc/destiny-3-date-de-sortie-annulation-en-2021-leaks-et-gameplay-ce-que-l-on-sait_art31319.html

The most common way that a computer "won't turn on" is when the PC actually does power on but doesn't display anything on the monitor. You see lights on the computer case, probably hear fans running from inside, and may even hear sounds, but nothing at all shows up on your screen. If your computer is, in fact, showing information on the monitor, but is still not booting fully, see How to Fix a Computer That Won't Turn On for a better troubleshooting guide. How to Fix a Computer That Turns on but Displays Nothing Try these common fixes in the order we present them: Test your monitor. Before you begin more complicated and time-consuming troubleshooting with the rest of your computer, make sure your monitor is working properly. With the monitor disconnected from your computer, turn it on and off. If the display shows diagnostic information of any kind, you know the display is powered and is capable of displaying content. Verify that your PC has completely restarted and is powering up from a completely powered off state. See how to restart your computer if you need help. A computer might appear to "not be on" when actually it's just having problems resuming from either the Standby/Sleep or Hibernate power saving mode in Windows. Power off your computer while in a power saving mode by holding the power button down for 3-5 seconds. After the power is completely off, turn on your PC and test to see if it will boot normally. Troubleshoot the cause of the beep code if you're lucky enough to get one. A beep code will give you a very good idea of exactly where to look for the cause of your computer turning off. Clear the CMOS. Clearing the BIOS memory on your motherboard will return the BIOS settings to their factory default levels. A BIOS misconfiguration could be why your PC won't start up all the way. If clearing the CMOS does fix your problem, make sure any changes you make in BIOS are completed one at a time so if the problem returns, you'll know which change caused your issue. Verify that the power supply voltage switch is set correctly. If the input voltage for the power supply isn't correct, then your computer might not turn on completely. There's a good possibility that your PC wouldn't power on at all if this switch is wrong, but an incorrect power supply voltage might also prevent your computer from starting properly in this way, too. Reseat everything possible inside your PC. Reseating will reestablish the various connections inside your computer and is very often a "magic" fix to problems like this one. Verify that all the cables are connected correctly. For example, if the onboard video card has been disabled, plugging a VGA cable into it will result in nothing on the monitor even if the computer is powered on. In this case, you'd want to plug the VGA cable into the correct video card. Try reseating the following components and then test if your computer displays something on screen: Reseat all internal data and power cables Reseat the memory modules Reseat any expansion cards Reseat the CPU only if you suspect that it might have come loose or might not have been installed properly. We address this component separately only because the chance of a CPU coming loose is very slim and because installing one is a sensitive task. Check for signs of electrical shorts inside your computer. If you find them, then you'll need to investigate the causes of those electrical shorts. Test your power supply. Just because your computer's fans and lights are working doesn't mean that the power supply is functioning properly. The PSU tends to cause more problems than any other hardware, and is often the cause of a computer's components to work selectively or intermittently. Replace your power supply immediately if it fails any test you perform. After replacing the power supply, assuming you do, keep your PC plugged in for 5-10 minutes prior to turning it on. This delay provides time for some recharging of the CMOS battery, which may have been drained. Do not skip a test of your power supply, thinking that your problem can't be the PSU because "things are getting power." Power supplies can work in varying degrees—one that isn't fully functional needs to be replaced. Start your computer with essential hardware only. The purpose here is to remove as much hardware as possible while still maintaining your PC's ability to power on. For example, disconnect peripheral devices that aren't necessary for your computer to work properly, such as USB-connected storage devices. If your computer starts normally with only essential hardware installed, proceed to Step 11. If your computer still isn't displaying anything on your monitor, proceed to Step 12. This step is easy enough for a novice to complete, takes no special tools, and could provide you with a lot of valuable information. This isn't a step to skip if, after all the steps above, your computer is still not turning on completely. Reinstall each piece of hardware that you removed in Step 10, one piece at a time, testing after each installation. Since your computer powered on with only the essential hardware installed, those components must work properly. This means that one of the hardware components you removed is causing your PC to not turn on properly. By installing each device back into your PC and testing them each time, you'll eventually find the hardware that caused your problem. Replace the defective hardware once you've identified it. Test your computer's hardware using a Power On Self Test card. If your PC still isn't displaying information on your monitor with anything but essential computer hardware installed, a POST card will help identify which piece of remaining hardware is causing your computer to not come on completely. If you don't have and are unwilling to purchase a POST card, skip to Step 13. Replace each piece of essential hardware in your computer with an identical or equivalent spare piece of hardware that you know is working, one component at a time, to determine which piece of hardware could be at fault. Test after each hardware replacement to determine which component is defective. If you don't have a POST card or spare parts to swap in and out, you're left not knowing which piece of your essential PC hardware is faulty. In these cases, you have little option than to rely on the help of individuals or companies that do offer these resources. https://www.lifewire.com/fix-computer-that-turns-on-but-displays-nothing-2624443

Nick movie: Jackie Chan Time: ChanelQhu Netflix / Amazon / HBO: N/A Duration of the movie:75Mins Trailer:

Iran has launched airstrikes on Pakistan territory, apparently aimed at a Sunni militant group, in the latest sign of a wave of violence rolling across the Middle East and beyond. Pakistan’s foreign ministry said two children were killed and three others were injured in what it called an “illegal” airstrike, and summoned Tehran’s senior diplomat in Islamabad to protest against the “unprovoked violation of its airspace”. The ministry did not give more details of the strikes, but Pakistani social media accounts said missile and drone strikes had been aimed at the Balochistan province which lies along the 1,000km border between the two countries. In Iran, it was reported that the strikes were aimed at bases of a Sunni militant group, Jaish al-Adl, but references to the attack in Iranian media quickly disappeared. Iran and Pakistan have long had a tense relationship, in large part because of the activities of Balochi separatists and other militant groups in the border area. However, this would mark a significant escalation on the territory of its nuclear-armed neighbour. Read the rest of our world affairs editor’s report here: The Israeli military said on Wednesday its forces have ‘eliminated’ a ‘terrorist cell’ during an airstrike in the Balata camp in the Israeli-occupied city of Nablus, Reuters is reporting. The military said in a statement it ‘eliminated Abdullah Abu-Shalal’, the ‘head of terrorist infrastructure’ of the camp, who the IDF alleges planned to carry out an imminent, large-scale terrorist attack with his cell members. An unidentified charred body arrived at Rafidia governmental hospital in Nablus after Israeli forces bombed a vehicle near Balata camp, the Palestinian health ministry said, according to Reuters. Here’s our full report on what we know about the deal to get medicine into Gaza. Medication is expected to start arriving on Wednesday. In a statement to the official Qatar news agency (QNA), Doha on Tuesday announced a deal “between Israel and [Hamas], where medicine along with other humanitarian aid is to be delivered to civilians in Gaza … in exchange for delivering medication needed for Israeli captives in Gaza”. France says it has not taken park in US-led strikes against the Houthis in Yemen because it wants to avoid a regional escalation. President Emmanuel Macron made the comments at a news conference on Tuesday, saying that France’s approach in the Red Sea was defensive and Paris would stick to this stance, Reuters reports. The US and UK have struck targets inside Yemen after attacks by the Iran-backed Houthi militia group on ships passing through the Red Sea. The Houthis say those attacks are an effort to put pressure on Israel to allow more humanitarian aid into Gaza and that an Israeli ceasefire would immediately lead to the free flow of ships. In Tel Aviv, anti-war protesters scuffled with Israeli police on Tuesday night, as some held up signs reading “End the siege” and “Stop the genocide”, reports Agence France-Presse. “The occupation leads to bloodshed, and it continues incessantly. The children growing up now in Gaza are the ones who will confront us in a few years,” protester Chava Lerman told AFP. “Civilians are getting killed by the Israeli bombings,” said fellow protester Michal Sapri. “It leads to nothing. Our hostages are still there. We’re not going to release them (through) more military power.” The Israeli public has kept up intense pressure on Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government to secure the return of the hostages, with officials repeatedly saying military pressure is necessary to bring about any kind of deal. On Tuesday, an Israeli kibbutz confirmed that two hostages whose deaths were announced by Hamas in a video had been killed in Gaza https://www.theguardian.com/world/live/2024/jan/17/middle-east-crisis-live-news-updates-israel-gaza-palestine-hamas-war-iran-strike-pakistan-sunni-us-red-sea-crisis-houthi-missile-attack

Electric vans are well suited to last-mile delivery: the trips that take your Amazon packages from the distribution center to your doorstep so you can get that all-important Stanley tumbler the same day you impulsively bought it. Now Ram is joining the segment with its 2024 ProMaster EV, an electric version of its full-size commercial van that will be offered in a variety of specifications. Long road trips are not the ProMaster EV's focus, so its 110.0-kWh battery is only capable of traveling up to 162 miles on a charge in city driving. While this number may sound meager, it should be more than enough for a day of deliveries. The van will be capable of Level 3 DC fast-charging at up to 150 kW, while the Level 2 onboard charger is good for up to 11 kW. The ProMaster EV is motivated by a 268-hp electric motor on the front axle that sends 302 pound-feet of torque exclusively to the front wheels. Utilizing the same architecture as the gasoline-powered model, the battery is situated under the floor in the middle of the van. Ram claims the cargo volume is unchanged, with 524 cubic feet available and an interior cargo height of 86 inches. The ProMaster EV will come either as a delivery-focused model or in two cargo versions, measuring 12 feet and 13 feet, with all three variants sitting on a 159-inch wheelbase. The delivery model is also fitted with a super-high-roof setup, a heated steering wheel, and a heated windshield. There were no specifics about the equipment on the cargo versions. Ram says the ProMaster EV will eventually be offered in five configurations, with two roof heights, two cargo lengths, and two body styles. The payload capacity is rated at 3020 pounds for the cargo version and 2030 pounds for the delivery configuration. The ProMaster EV will help last-mile delivery operators with a lightweight but durable rear roll-up door made from anodized aluminum. The van will also come with Ram Telematics, recording data to provide insights on saving fuel, improving route efficiency, and encouraging safer driving. The navigation system will provide walking directions from the vehicle to the final destination using the Uconnect phone app, while the van will also feature Amazon's Alexa virtual assistant. https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a46410659/2024-ram-promaster-ev-details/

Chickens are native to the tropical jungles of Southeast Asia, but over the last approximately 8,000 years, chickens have been domesticated and spread around the globe to become one of the most valued domesticated animals. These fairly shy forest birds lack the ability for long-distance flying and are not migratory. As such, their spread around the world is not just a tale of domestication, but one that is intimately linked to the movements of people around the world. Darwin was the first to suggest that all domestic chickens descended from the red junglefowl Gallus gallus. The earliest archaeological evidence for domesticated chickens has been reported from sites in China, where chicken bones had been found dating back to 10,000-8000 years ago (West and Zhou, 1988; Xiang et al., 2014). However, close examination of the reported chicken remains found that most, if not all, bones identified as chicken are ring-necked pheasants, a species common in China, instead (Peters et al., 2016; Eda et al., 2015). Evidence from China regarding the early domestication of chickens remains controversial, but chicken remains from the Indus Valley in northern India suggests that domesticated chickens were present in southern Asia 4,000 years ago. The rise of new molecular techniques, such as DNA analysis, allowed scientists to look at the domestication of chickens at a whole new level. An early study of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) showed that domestic chickens indeed descended from the red junglefowl, and indicated that a single domestication event had taken place in Thailand (Fumihito et al., 1996). More recent studies showed that the domestication of chickens occurred in at least three separate regions in Asia (Liu et al., 2006). Moreover, domesticated chickens interbred with local po[CENSORED]tions of different wild jungle fowl species; the gene for yellow legs, an ubiquitous characteristic of domesticated chickens, can be traced back to the closely related grey junglefowl (Gallus sonneratii) (Eriksson et al., 2008) rather than the red junglefowl. From southern Asia, the chicken left its natural range behind and embarked on its Grand Tour. Domestic chickens reached West Asia and the Near East during the third and second millennium BC, and were introduced to Europe by the Phoenicians during the 8th century BC (Perry-Gal et al., 2015). Up till then, chickens had had a mostly ceremonial or symbolic role, as evidenced by the inclusion of chickens in burials, clay figurines in early Chinese cultures and mentions of chickens in early texts. As chickens spread through Europe, chicken remains in archaeological assemblages became more abundant. This indicates that chickens had started to form an established part of European livestock, and the sagas have it that when the Vikings colonised Iceland in the 10th century, they took along their chickens. Today’s chickens represent a range of different sizes, body proportions, plumage colours, behaviour, and physiological traits related to meat and egg production. Although it is thought that many modern breeds originated relatively recently (in the 18th-19th century), evidence from historical sources suggests that selective breeding was already practiced during Roman times and that several regions had their own domestic chickens with particular characteristics (de Cupere et al., 2005). The spread of chickens from Asia south- and eastwards is thought to have been initiated by the first farmers, or Austronesians, who spread from mainland China into Island South East Asia around 5000 years ago. With them, they took pottery and agriculture including domestic animals such as pigs and dogs (Bellwood and Dizon, 2006). Although archaeological chicken remains from this region are very scarce, it is assumed that chickens formed part of this agricultural package as well. When the Polynesians subsequently colonized the Pacific island archipelagos, chickens were taken with them. Remains of chickens have been found in archaeological assemblages all over the Pacific region, and on the Hawaiian island Kauai, chickens introduced by the Polynesians some 800 years ago now run wild. Controversial evidence even suggests that the Polynesians brought chickens to South America (Storey et al., 2007) long before Columbus set foot on the continent. Given the widespread introductions of chickens (and other commensals such as the Pacific rat Rattus exulans) by the Polynesians, it was generally assumed that the same had happened when the Polynesians colonized New Zealand in the thirteenth century. But chickens were conspicuously absent from the earliest Polynesian archaeological assemblages. Had they been overlooked? Lost to disease or predation after their arrival? Was the abundance of large flightless birds that required little effort to capture reason to abandon the keeping of chickens? Or, were they never there in the first place? To settle the question of when chickens arrived in New Zealand, researchers used radiocarbon dating to assess the age of three archaeological chicken bones that could potentially date to the period of Polynesian colonisation. Surprisingly, the bones turned out to be quite young, with median ages of 1756, 1757 and 1840 - although note that the radiocarbon method yields age probability distributions rather than a single age, (Wood et al., 2016). These ages postdate the arrival of Polynesians by far, and pre-date permanent European settlement, but their age distributions overlap with the arrival of Captain James Cook’s second voyage in 1773. Moreover, Cook recorded gifting several chickens, both hens and cocks, to local Māori on several occasions. Little is known regarding the fate of these chickens, and it is unclear if the bones sampled in this study represent the chickens that were gifted by Captain Cook, or their descendants. The trading by Māori of other European items between settlements along the coast suggests that Māori were quick to incorporate chickens into their diet. This may not just have been a matter of taste. Before the arrival of humans, New Zealand was home to a unique terrestrial fauna that included large flightless birds such as the moa, and large numbers of sea birds that bred in colonies on land. Much of the native fauna had gone extinct in less than two centuries after the Polynesians arrived. Moreover, evidence from East Polynesia suggests that long-distance trading had almost ceased around that time, and that the ability to make long voyages may have been lost among Māori. With protein sources dwindling rapidly, and without the possibility to resupply by long-distance trading, Māori were facing limited food resources. The arrival of chickens may have been met with relief. Despite their title of the oldest chicken bones from New Zealand, the bones do not answer the question of whether or not chickens were introduced to New Zealand by the first Polynesians. However, the authors argue, had chickens been on board of the first Polynesian canoes and formed an established part of the settlers’ diet, their bones would have been more abundant in the earliest Polynesian assemblages, as is the case on other Polynesian islands. The fact that New Zealand was teeming with a diverse terrestrial fauna that was easy prey may have been enough incentive to leave the chicken be. References Bellwood and Dizon, 2005.

Teenage star Mirra Andreeva produced a stunning performance to demolish Ons Jabeur at the Australian Open, while Coco Gauff came through a tough test to reach the third round in Melbourne. Andreeva counts Jabeur as her idol but she was utterly ruthless under the roof on Rod Laver Arena, defeating the sixth seed and two-time Wimbledon finalist 6-0 6-2 in just 54 minutes.Jabeur could only smile in astonishment at some of the shots Andreeva played, while she celebrated like an underdog when she finally won a game at the start of the second set. She was unable to stall Andreeva for long, though, with Andreeva branding it the best match she has played as last year's girls' singles final cruised into the last 32. "In the first set I played really amazing tennis, I didn't expect that from myself," said the teenager. "I'm happy I played with Ons [Jabeur]. It was one of my dreams to play against her, because I really like the way she plays. It meant a lot, this match that I won.Another young Russian making waves in Melbourne is 20-year-old qualifier Maria Timofeeva, who is playing in the main draw of a Grand Slam for the first time and ended former champion Caroline Wozniacki's comeback. The Dane retired here four years ago and is back with her two young children in tow but she could not build on a strong start, losing 1-6 6-4 6-1. Wozniacki has other responsibilities now but she could not hide her disappointment, saying: "I would like to say that in my mind I can just kind of brush it under the carpet but it sucks just as much. Losing now and losing back then, it doesn't really change. "As a competitor, you want to win everything. When you have the family here and you bring everyone, you want to win even more because you want to stay longer and not have to move around. I felt like this was my match to win, and I didn't." Dolehide served for the opening set at 6-5 before US Open champion Gauff - who battled issues with her first serve - came through in the tie-breaker, before improving in the next to safely reach the last-32. "It was really hard," Gauff said. "If you give her something short, she's going to punish you for it, so if I could go back and do something I'd change that."

The FBI has begun an investigation after the BBC revealed claims that the former CEO of Abercrombie & Fitch (A&F) sexually exploited and abused men at events he hosted around the world. Mike Jeffries and his British partner also face a civil lawsuit alleging they ran a sex-trafficking operation. FBI agents are now interviewing and issuing subpoenas to potential witnesses, the BBC understands. A lawyer for Mr Jeffries declined to comment. The investigation is being led by FBI agents specialising in alleged sex crimes, and federal prosecutors from the Eastern District of New York, according to several sources. The FBI and the US Attorney's Office both declined to comment. In October, a BBC documentary and podcast series revealed allegations that Mike Jeffries and his partner Matthew Smith had exploited young men for sex at events they hosted in their New York residences and worldwide in luxurious hotels. Eight men told the BBC they had attended these events in cities including London, Paris, and Marrakesh between 2009 and 2015. They alleged Mr Jeffries and Mr Smith would engage in sexual activity with them or "direct" them to have sex with each other. Documents uncovered by the BBC, including flight tickets and event itineraries, revealed there was a highly organised operation involving a network of recruiters and a middleman, James Jacobson. The BBC tracked down Mr Jacobson, now 70, who denied any wrongdoing and said that men went to these events "with their eyes wide open". When approached at his home, Mr Jacobson repeatedly asked to "do a deal", saying "leave my name out and I'll tell you everything", which was refused by the BBC. A&F told the BBC it was "appalled and disgusted" by Mr Jeffries' alleged behaviour. The brand has since suspended a substantial part of his retirement payments totalling $1m (£792,242) a year. Through his lawyer, Mr Jeffries has always declined to comment - while Mr Smith has never responded to the BBC's allegations. Mr Jeffries, who stepped down in 2014, is considered the modern-day-founder of A&F. During his two decades in charge from the 1990s, he led the company's global expansion and created offshoot brands including Hollister and Gilly Hicks. Following the BBC's investigation, A&F was accused in a civil lawsuit of funding a sex-trafficking operation led by Mike Jeffries and Matthew Smith between 1992 and 2014. The lawsuit alleges that it is likely more than 100 men were sexually abused by Mr Jeffries while he was chief executive and that young men were mani[CENSORED]ted "under the guise of providing them with the modelling opportunity of their dreams - becoming an Abercrombie model". "It would not surprise me to hear that law enforcement is looking into this," said Brad Edwards, a civil lawyer who is now representing some of the alleged victims. Previously, Mr Jeffries' lawyer declined to comment on the allegations in the civil lawsuit, saying: "The courtroom is where we will deal with this matter." https://www.bbc.com/news/world-67991750
