Mais après 7 longues années d'existence, et un exercice 2023 riche en titres d'envergure — The Legend of Zelda : Tears of the Kingdom et Super Mario Bros. Wonder, pour ne citer que les plus grosses cartouches — force est de constater que la Switch vit très certainement sa dernière année pleine en 2024. À l'horizon se profile son successeur, que tout le monde appelle Nintendo Switch 2. Lire aussi : La Nintendo Switch 2 ne serait pas une nouvelle console, mais plutôt une version pro plus coûteuse Dans les cartons depuis plusieurs mois, la prochaine machine de Nintendo a été montrée — en mode prototype — à des développeurs dans les coulisses de la GamesCom, le salon européen du jeu vidéo qui s'est déroulé à Cologne (Allemagne) du 23 au 27 août dernier. Avec la distribution des kits de développement dans les studios, il ne reste plus qu'à attendre l'officialisation de la console par Nintendo.Qui dit officialisation, dit date de sortie. Or, une fuite (ou plutôt une bourde) a peut-être été commise dans le cadre d'un autre salon, le prestigieux CES 2024 de Las Vegas (États-Unis). Dans son communiqué de presse annonçant l'arrivée d'un successeur au GameShark alimenté par l'intelligence artificielle, le fabricant Altec Lansing a cru bon d'écrire la phrase suivante :Dans un message adressé au site Digital Trends, qui est le premier à avoir remarqué cette phrase étonnante, Altec Lansing a déclaré que Nintendo n'avait pas encore choisi un mois spécifique pour la sortie de la Switch 2, mais que la période de l'automne 2024 était plus que probable. Quelques heures plus tard, l'entreprise prenait davantage de précautions en estimant que rien n'avait encore été officialisé. https://gaming.gentside.com/jeux-video/consoles-et-pc/nintendo-switch-2-la-date-de-sortie-de-la-console-revelee-par-erreur-au-ces-2024_art40783.html

Sometimes your computer may actually turn on, but an error message during the Power On Self Test (POST) will stop the boot process. Other times, your PC may simply freeze during the POST with no error at all. Maybe all you see is your computer maker's logo. There are a number of BIOS error messages that can display on your monitor and several reasons why a PC might freeze during the POST, so it's important to step through a logical process like the one I've created below. How to Fix Stopping, Freezing, and Reboot Issues During the POST Walk through these steps in order to address the most likely and easier-to-solve tips first. Troubleshoot the cause of the BIOS error message you see on the monitor. These errors during the POST are usually very specific, so if you've been fortunate enough to receive one, your best course of action is to troubleshoot to the specific error you see. If you don't fix the problem by working through the specific error during the POST, you can always return here and continue with the troubleshooting below. Walk through these steps in order to address the most likely and easier-to-solve tips first. Troubleshoot the cause of the BIOS error message you see on the monitor. These errors during the POST are usually very specific, so if you've been fortunate enough to receive one, your best course of action is to troubleshoot to the specific error you see. If you don't fix the problem by working through the specific error during the POST, you can always return here and continue with the troubleshooting below. If your PC is, in fact, booting through the POST, or is not reaching the POST at all, see our How to Fix a Computer That Won't Turn On guide for more applicable troubleshooting information. Disconnect any USB storage devices and remove any discs in any optical drives. If your computer is trying to boot from a location that doesn't actually have bootable data on it, your computer could freeze somewhere during the POST. If this works, be sure to change the boot order in BIOS, making sure that your preferred boot device, probably the internal hard drive, is listed before USB or other sources. Clear the CMOS. Clearing the BIOS memory on your motherboard will reset the BIOS settings to their factory default levels. A misconfigured BIOS is a common cause of a computer locking up during the POST. If clearing the CMOS does fix your problem, make any future settings changes in BIOS one at a time so if the problem returns, you'll know which change caused your issue. Test your power supply. Just because your computer initially turns on doesn't mean that the power supply is working. The PSU is the cause of startup problems more than any other piece of hardware in a computer. It very well could be the cause of your problems during the POST. Replace your power supply immediately if your tests show a problem with it. Don't skip this step thinking that your problem can't be with the power supply because your computer is receiving power. Power supplies can, and often do, partially work, and one that isn't fully functional must be replaced. Reseat everything inside your computer. This will reestablish cables, cards, and other connections. Reseat the CPU only if you think it may have come loose or might not have been properly installed. I separated out this task because the chance of a CPU coming loose is slim, and because reseating one could actually create a problem if you're not careful. There's no reason to worry as long as you appreciate how sensitive a CPU and its socket/slot on the motherboard is. If you've built your own PC or made hardware changes, triple check every hardware configuration. Check every jumper and DIP switch, verify that the CPU, memory, and video card you're using is compatible with your motherboard, etc. Rebuild your PC from scratch if necessary. Don't assume that your motherboard supports certain hardware. Check your motherboard's manual to verify that the hardware you've purchased will work properly. Check for causes of electrical shorts inside your computer. This could be the cause of the problem if your computer freezes during the POST, especially if it does so without a BIOS error message. Important Computer Repair Safety Tips Start your PC with essential hardware only. The purpose here is to remove as much hardware as possible while still maintaining your computer's ability to power on. If your computer starts normally with only essential hardware installed, proceed to Step 10. If it still isn't displaying anything on your monitor, proceed to Step 11. Starting your PC with its minimum necessary hardware is very easy to do, takes no special tools, and could provide you with valuable information. This isn't a step to skip if, after all the steps above, your computer is still freezing during the POST. Reinstall each piece of hardware that you removed earlier, one piece at a time, testing your PC after each installation. Since your computer powered on with only the essential hardware installed, those parts must be working properly. This means that one of the hardware components you removed is causing your computer to not turn on properly. By installing each device back into your computer and testing each time, you'll eventually find the hardware that caused your problem. Replace the non-functioning hardware once you've identified it. Test your computer's hardware using a Power On Self Test card. If it's still freezing during the POST with nothing but essential hardware installed, a POST card will help identify which piece of remaining hardware is causing your computer to stop booting. If you don't already own or are unwilling to buy a POST card, skip to the next step. Replace each piece of essential hardware in your PC with an identical or equivalent spare piece of hardware (that you know is working), one component at a time, to determine which piece is causing your computer to stop during the POST. Test after each hardware replacement to determine which component is faulty. The average computer owner doesn't have a set of working spare computer parts at home or work. If you don't either, my advice is to revisit Step 11. A POST card is very inexpensive and is, in general, a smarter approach than stocking spare computer parts. Finally, if all else fails, you'll probably need to find professional help from a computer repair service or from your computer manufacturer's technical support. 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 computer hardware is not working. In these cases, you'll have to rely on the help of individuals or companies that do have these tools and resources. https://www.lifewire.com/fix-stopping-freezing-and-reboot-issues-during-the-post-2624441

t was a scandal hiding in plain sight.” “The result of a series of choices, the sum of state neglect and corporate wrongdoing.” “Most assumed that they had been caught up in a bureaucratic tangle; few guessed that thousands of others were experiencing the same difficulties.” “It is a peculiar sensation, telling the truth repeatedly and being repeatedly told you are lying.” “Our representatives chose time and again not to act on mounting evidence.” “This is a story about who gets listened to in Britain and who gets ignored.” These could be quotes from an article about the Post Office scandal. All are, in fact, taken from Show Me the Bodies, Peter Apps’s harrowing account of the Grenfell fire, and The Windrush Betrayal, Amelia Gentleman’s unsparing investigation into the human consequences of Theresa May’s “hostile environment” policies. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2024/jan/14/post-office-grenfell-windrush-scandals-contempt-lives-destroyed

The AMC Hornet supplanted the long-serving Rambler at the start of the 1970s. The Sportabout was the wagon version, which offered a dose of extra practicality. This example, however, also adds a measure of Italian design-house chic with its Gucci decor package, a rare option. It's up for auction until Wednesday, January 17. Plucky little American Motors Corporation never had the R&D money of the big three domestic automakers, so it was forced to be innovative. One avenue it explored was fashion-themed cars, such as the Pierre Cardin Javelin and the Levi's Gremlin. For its thrifty compact Hornet, there was a tie-up with one of the most noble Italian design houses, the pride of Florence: Gucci. This 1973 Hornet Sportabout wagon is a result of that mashup, andit's up for auction on Bring a Trailer—which, like Car and Driver, is part of Hearst Autos. The Hornet was AMC's mainstay, and but just because it was a workaday model didn't mean it had to be boring. This one wasn't, with its V-8 engine (originally a 304-cubic-inch, since replaced with a 360), white body-side stripes, and slotted mag wheels. The good stuff, however, is on the inside, which features Gucci's tri-color perforated vinyl seats and double-G headliner. Back in 1973, this option package would have tacked on nearly $150 to a car that stickered at $2500. Gucci had made its name selling scarves and bags to the likes of Grace Kelly and other swells, and while it's doubtful the Princess of Monaco ever cruised the corniches above the Côte d'Azur in a Sportabout, the unlikeliness of the mashup is part of the charm here. The green paint shows well, though there are a few cosmetic issues, the most serious being holes in the plastic filler panel between the rear bumper and body. This would take a bit of fiddly work to repair but is certainly doable, and it sounds like there might be a spare out there that'll fit. The current owner has replaced the battery, alternator, voltage regulator, rear main seal, oil-pan gasket, timing cover gasket, and dipstick tube. This car was previously sold on Bring a Trailer for $22,000, which is far beyond what a standard Hornet might bring. We'll see whether buyers this time are as willing to open their wallets (Gucci or otherwise). Despite the Gucci tie-up, this unusual Sportabout is a totally unpretentious way to stand out at your local cars and coffee event. https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a46343044/1973-amc-hornet-sportabout-wagon-bring-a-trailer-auction/

Grâce à La Haine, Vincent Cassel et Saïd Taghmaoui ont connu le succès ensemble. Un film qui aurait pu connecter éternellement les deux acteurs... Sauf qu'au contraire, les deux comédiens sont brouillés depuis des années. En 1995, le film La Haine, écrit et réalisé par Mathieu Kassovitz, sort en salles. Ce long-métrage tourné en noir et blanc revient sur les émeutes qui ont suivi le passage à tabac d'Abdel Ichaha, un jeune de cité, par un inspecteur de police au cours d'un interrogatoire. Une fiction qui a marqué le monde du septième-art, et qui a permis de découvrir, ou redécouvrir, de grands talents du cinéma. Parmi ces derniers figurent Hubert Koundé, Vincent Cassel et Saïd Taghmaoui. Dans ce film, ces derniers incarnent un trio multiethnique inséparable, dont l'un souhaite venger Abdel Ichana. Une expérience qui a changé leur vie à tout jamais. De quoi faire la fierté de chacun d'entre eux, et potentiellement solidifier leurs liens. Mais malheureusement, les années les ont éloignés, et ce, à tel point que deux des acteurs ne se supportent plus. Ceux qui ont apprécié La Haine auraient pu espérer voir construire une belle et longue amitié entre ceux qui incarnent les rôles principaux. Néanmoins, cela n'a pas été le cas. Dans son livre intitulé De la Haine à Hollywood paru en 2021, Saïd Taghmaoui raconte comment la fiction a complètement bouleversé sa vie. "Je deviens une sorte de vedette qui ne peut plus sortir de chez elle sans être reconnue (...) Je ne comprends pas ce qui se passe, je suis complètement perdu", a-t-il confié. Mais alors qu'il pensait pouvoir faire face à ce nouveau quotidien avec Vincent Cassel, le jeune acteur constate qu'il prend ses distances. "Grâce au film, Vincent se met à enchaîner les rôles, et peu à peu, il se détache de moi, prend ses distances, se montre de plus en plus froid. Il a trouvé une nouvelle famille, celle de Kourtrajmé, un collectif d'artistes venus de tous horizons", a-t-il ajouté. Un comportement qu'il n'apprécie pas. Mais en 1998, il l'invite quand même pour l'avant-première de Marrakech Express. "L'accueil est glacial", confie Saïd Taghmaoui dans son ouvrage, avant d'ajouter : "Sa Majesté n'a pas le temps. Sa Majesté est très occupée. Sa Majesté est prise par sa vie d'acteur qui ne lui laisse aucun répit. Sa Majesté a d'autres chats à fouetter que de tenir la main au petit Saïd". Après lui avoir expliqué ses problèmes de planning, l'époux de Tina Kunakey lui aurait alors lâché : "Tâche de t'en souvenir la prochaine fois que tu m'appelles". Une phrase qui lui reste en travers de la gorge plus de vingt ans plus tard… https://actu.voici.fr/news-people/la-haine-pourquoivincent-cassel-et-said-taghmaoui-ne-se-parlent-plus-750444?utm_source=outbrain&utm_medium=cpc&utm_term=FR_Gala+(Prisma+Presse)_Gala&utm_content=La+Haine+%3A+pourquoi+Vincent+Cassel+et+Saïd+Taghmaoui+ne+se+parlent+plu&utm_campaign=pmo_voi_article_desktop_desktop_test_geoloc&dicbo=v4-EWdOKD7-1079626013

Speciation, where one species diverges into two, is a well-known concept in the theory of evolution. But a new study based on almost 20 years of research has revealed that “speciation reversal”, the merging of two previously distinct lineages, may also play an important role. Scientists have discovered that two lineages of common raven that spent between one and two million years evolving separately appear to be in the process of such a consolidation. The findings raise intriguing questions about how science should define species – and whether the boundaries are as clearcut as once thought.We’re committed to keeping our quality reporting open.

Novak Djokovic survived a huge first-round scare against teenage qualifier Dino Prizmic at the Australian Open. History-chasing Djokovic, bidding for a record-breaking 25th Grand Slam, found himself a break down in the third set before going on to win 6-2 6-7 (5-7) 6-3 6-4 in Melbourne.The world No 1, looking for his 11th title Down Under, had to battle for just over four hours before winning through against the 18-year-old world No 178. It was the longest opening match of a Grand Slam he has played as the Serb survived a significant test in his quest to overtake Margaret Court and stand alone at the top of the sport. "I started off well for a 36-year-old," said Djokovic. "Wow, when you think about it… I am double his age! Sponsored Links Recommended byWhat is Outbrai "I struggled in many different moments tonight. He was very physical. I had good moments. Some moments I could have played better. It's been a very short off-season but hopefully I will be at my best for the next match." The signs did not look good for Prizmic when he dropped his opening service game and then took a medical time-out in the fifth game for treatment to his left groin. He already had tape on his right arm and could find nothing to hurt Djokovic in the first set, but things began to change early in the second. Djokovic won a staggering 17 of his 19 tie-breaks at grand slams in 2023, including 15 in a row from the second round in Melbourne to the Wimbledon final, but here he played a very poor one and suddenly what had seemed a straightforward occasion became anything but. Djokovic, who was dabbing his brow and puffing his cheeks, was making a lot of uncharacteristic errors and Prizmic fought back from 2-0 down in the third set to lead by a break at 3-2. There was concern on the face Djokovic's coach Goran Ivanisevic, who was among the spectators watching his countryman Prizmic's run to the French Open junior title last year. Djokovic ultimately found a way through, but the 36-year-old's rivals will have been watching closely. "He deserved every applause, every credit that he got tonight," said Djokovic of his opponent. "Amazing player, I must say. Very mature for his age. This was his moment. It could easily have been his match, as well. He made me really run for my money tonight." Matteo Berrettini pulled out of the tournament without playing a match as his injury woes continued. The former Wimbledon finalist had been due to face Stefanos Tsitsipas in the first round on Rod Laver Arena on Monday in one of the plum ties of the first round. But on Sunday afternoon the tournament announced he had withdrawn with a right foot injury, making it the fourth time in the last eight Grand Slam tournaments where he has not been able to play a match. The po[CENSORED]r Italian, a semi-finalist in Melbourne in 2022, has been off the tour since suffering an ankle injury during his second-round match against Arthur Rinderknech at the US Open. He had previously missed the French Open because of an abdominal injury, while in 2022 he also sat out Roland Garros following hand surgery and then tested positive for Covid-19 ahead of Wimbledon. Once ranked as high as world No 6, the 27-year-old, beaten by Djokovic in the Wimbledon final in 2021, is now down at 125. He has been replaced in the draw by Belgian lucky loser Zizou Bergs, who will take on Tsitsipas on Monday. Fourth seed Jannik Sinner, one of the favourites for the title following his stellar end to 2023, began his campaign with a straight-sets win over Botic Van De Zandschulp. Sinner, who beat Djokovic twice in a matter of days at the ATP Finals and Davis Cup in November, was a 6-4 7-5 6-3 winner on Rod Laver Arena. The Italian did not play a warm-up tournament after his late finish to last season, and he said: "I feel like I started off actually really well for the first match. "Then after, I had some moments where I made a couple of wrong choices, but this can happen. Even if you made maybe some matches, this can happen. Maybe you are a little bit tired sometimes. "It was important today for me because I was looking forward to stepping on the court." American 12th seed Taylor Fritz survived a first-round test from Argentine Facundo Diaz Acosta to win 4-6 6-3 3-6 6-2 6-4 in a four hour thriller. The 26-year-old avoided an early exit, having bowed out in the second round last year. https://www.skysports.com/tennis/news/31870/13047982/australian-open-novak-djokovic-battles-past-teenage-qualifier-dino-prizmic-in-melbourne

China has accused the US of sending "a gravely wrong signal" to those pushing for Taiwan's independence after Saturday's election result. US Secretary of State Antony Blinken sent Taiwanese president-elect William Lai a message of congratulations following the result. Beijing called the message aviolation of Washington's commitment to maintain only unofficial ties with Taiwan. Mr Lai has vowed to protect Taiwan from an increasingly aggressive China. But Beijing sees Taiwan as its territory and fiercely challenges any government that says otherwise. Messages of congratulations for Taiwan's new leader poured in from all over the world after the election, including from Mr Blinken - who emphasised the partnership between Taipei and Washington, which he said was rooted in democratic values. "We look forward to working with Dr Lai and Taiwan's leaders of all parties to advance our shared interests and values," he said in a statement. Mr Blinken also stressed that the US, one of Taiwan's biggest allies, is "committed to maintaining cross-strait peace and stability". The top US diplomat was also quick to say that such collaboration should "further our longstanding unofficial relationship" and be "consistent with the US One China policy". Under the policy, the US recognises and has formal ties with China rather than the island of Taiwan, which China sees as a breakaway province to be unified with the mainland one day. Mr Blinken's remarks drew sharp criticism from Beijing, which views any statement of support for Taiwan as lending legitimacy to a candidate and political party it sees as a gang of separatists hoping to turn Taiwan into an independent sovereign nation. In a statement, China's foreign ministry said Mr Blinken's congratulations violated the US's promise to maintain "only cultural, commercial, and other unofficial relations" with Taiwan. It stressed that the Taiwan question is "the first red line that must not be crossed in China-US relations" and said it had lodged a formal diplomatic complaint. "China firmly opposes the US having any form of official interaction with Taiwan and interfering in Taiwan affairs in any way or under any pretext." Beijing's statement will likely serve as a warning to Washington after it sent an unofficial delegation of former US officials to hold talks with leading political figures in Taiwan just hours after the self-ruled island elected Mr Lai. Deployed by US President Joe Biden, who himself welcomed the election results, the delegation includes a former US national security adviser and a former deputy secretary of state. Other Western countries, including the UK, France and Germany, congratulated the new leader. Beijing's Communist government reviles Mr Lai's pro-sovereignty Democratic Progressive Party (DPP), which has governed Taiwan for eight years. That is because China sees any statement of support towards the DPP as lending legitimacy to politicians, which Beijing sees as a gang of separatists hoping to turn Taiwan into an independent sovereign nation. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-67974541

Happy Birthday. 🎂

List of Computer Hardware Here are some common individual computer hardware components that you'll often find inside a modern computer. These parts are almost always found inside the computer case, so you won't see them unless you open the computer: Motherboard: The motherboard (also known as a logic board in other devices) coordinates all of the other hardware. Central Processing Unit (CPU😞 The CPU interprets and executes most of your computer's commands. Random Access Memory (RAM): RAM is the memory your computer uses to work; it's different from the storage that holds your files and programs. Your computer spends RAM to run those programs and process information. Power Supply Unit (PSU): The PSU is the means through which your computer draws power. It's usually a cord that plugs into the wall and a "power brick." Video card: This component handles drawing graphics in games and displaying videos. Hard Disk Drive (HDD): An HDD is an older version of the hard drive; it stores information like apps and documents on a physical disc that your computer reads with an arm that travels across it (similarly to a record player). Solid-State Drive (SSD): Newer SSDs store information on chips. They're faster, quieter, and more expensive than HDDs, though both do the same job. Optical disk drive (e.g., BD/DVD/CD drive): This feature is less common in newer computers, but they provide a place to enter a music, movie, or data disk for your computer to read. Card reader (SD/SDHC, CF, etc.): Your computer uses these to read from portable storage like SD cards. Here is a list of hardware that you might find connected to the outside of a computer, although many tablets, laptops, and netbooks integrate some of these items into their housings: Monitor: This is a display device; it shows you what's on your computer. Keyboard: You use this to enter text into apps and programs. Mouse: The mouse lets you select items on your monitor. Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS): Otherwise known as a battery backup, this optional device lets your computer keep running even when you have an interruption to your main supply. Flash drive: A flash drive is a small temporary storage device that lets you move files from your computer and take them elsewhere. Printer: Printers create hard copies of documents and photos. Speakers: Your computer likely has internal speakers, but external ones can provide a better sound. External hard drive: An external hard drive is like a flash drive, but they're larger and have more storage capacity. Pen tablet: Tablets are good choices for artists and designers. You can "draw" on the screen, and the image will appear in an app. Less common individual computer hardware devices, either because these pieces are now usually integrated into other devices or because they've been replaced with newer technology: Sound card: The sound card handles audio for your computer, processing and sending it to the speakers. Network Interface Card (NIC😞 NICs usually add an Ethernet port that you can use to connect your computer to the internet. They may also provide Wi-Fi access. Expansion card (FireWire, USB, etc.): These, like NICs, add functionality to your computer. You use them to add more ports to connect things like external hard drives. Hard drive controller card: Also known as a disk controller, this device communicates between internal storage and the CPU. Scanner: A scanner lets you digitize documents and images. Floppy disk drive: CD- and DVD-ROMs replaced floppy drives as ways to read software. The following hardware is referred to as network hardware, and various pieces are often part of a home or business network: Digital modem (e.g., cable modem, DSL modem, etc.) Router: A router is an important part of a Wi-Fi network. It takes the wired connection from a modem and converts it into a wireless one. Network switch: A network switch also connects to the router and provides multiple Ethernet ports for additional wired connections (for example, to a game console). Access point: A wireless access point is similar to a router; it also transmits a wireless network signal, but it does so without a dedicated modem. Repeater: A repeater, like a wireless extender, expands the range of a Wi-Fi signal. Bridge: You may not have much personal use for a bridge, but in business settings, they link multiple physical networks to cover a wider area. Print server: Print servers manage jobs you've told to print. It's the software that goes between your computer and the printer. Firewall: Firewalls are security elements that stop unauthorized users from accessing your computer. Network hardware isn't as clearly defined as some other types of computer hardware. For example, many home routers will often act as a combination router, switch, and firewall. In addition to all the items listed above, there's more computer hardware called auxiliary hardware, of which a computer might have none, or several, of some kinds: Fan (CPU, GPU, Case, etc.): Fans move hot air from inside your computer case to stop components from overheating. Heat sink: Heat sinks also absorb heat, usually channeling it to a fan to be sent outside the computer. Data cable: These physically transmit information between, for example, a modem and a router. Power cable: This hardware transmits power, typically from a wall socket to a piece of hardware. CMOS battery: These batteries hold a very small amount of information that's necessary to run your computer. Daughterboard: A daughterboard works to expand the functionality of the motherboard; it also works with sound and graphics cards. Some of the devices listed above are called peripheral devices. A peripheral device is a piece of hardware (whether internal or external) that isn't actually involved in the computer's main function. Examples include a monitor, video card, disc drive, and mouse. Troubleshooting Faulty Computer Hardware Computer hardware components individually heat up and cool down as they're used and then not used, meaning that eventually, every single one will fail. Some may even fail at the same time. Fortunately, at least with desktop computers and some laptop and tablet computers, you can replace the non-working piece of hardware without having to replace or rebuild the computer from scratch. Here are some resources you should check out before you go out and purchase a new hard drive, replacement RAM sticks, or anything else you think may be going bad: https://www.lifewire.com/computer-hardware-2625895

I see useful knowledge in your future.
