Le fabuleux voyage de l'oncle Ernest (the translation would be Uncle Ernest's Fabulous Journey, but I don't think it's been released outside of France)
I don't remember much of the game but I loved it as a kid, around 9-10.
The game is about the traveling journal of our adventurer uncle: Ernest. From what I remember it's like a virtual treasure hunt, trying to find clues to find our uncle. It's a lot of minigames going through Africa, Istanbul, Borneo ...
I love my AKG Q702. I think there are almost identical to the Q701 but with a detachable cable so it can be easily replaced.
I've been using them almost everyday since 2020 and barely show any wear.
The only thing that wore out a bit is the elastic on the side but I don't really notice a difference.
The article sounds like a journalist has been commissioned to write a positive article about her even though he thinks the opposite.
"Virkkunen is not afraid of situations where people have different opinions than hers. She does not back away just because the situation is uncomfortable." Virkkunen declined an interview request.
That marks a big shift, both in personality and policies, from her predecessor, France’s fiery, intellectual businessman Thierry Breton. He wrote sci-fi novels, waged a high-profile campaign against major US tech companies,
Elon Musk insulted Thierry Breton when he told him that X had to comply with European laws.
The real meaning of "actually like tech" is more "is ready to bend to the will of tech industry"
The problem is that the same companies are probably supplying Ukraine too. Ukraine is constantly playing a very finicky political game.
Edit: I was wrong, Ukraine do publish the list of the components they are finding in Russian weapons. https://war-sanctions.gur.gov.ua/en/components
It's not that surprising once you know that their goal is to be completely independent for their US for their military equipment.
It includes the nuclear bomb, missiles, fighter jet, aircraft carrier, submarines, even space capabilities (even if this last part has been lacking a bit lately).
They don't have the US military budget but they want the same level of technology without any ties to the US.
It means that they are exporting a lot to compensate for the high investments they are pouring into military technology.
Here is the share of global arms export per country.
Germany, Italy and the UK are also big exporters but still behind France.
France's military industry is having wet dreams thinking about it.
If the US pulls out of NATO France becomes the biggest arms exporter of NATO and I would expect other countries will become less enthusiastic at the idea of buying US weapons systems.
Une bonne nouvelle !
On l'a vu avec la guerre en Ukraine, les câbles sous marin sont une cible stratégique.

The wings are crazy ! They look way too flimsy for what they do.
Next time you see an airplane, imagine a crane picking it up by the wings, around the middle of the wing length, and then start shaking it up.
It does not look like the wing will be able to hold that much weight.
It exists
It does not transport people but it is great for places with a lot of traffic to have a first responder on site quickly before an actual ambulance arrives.

The DLC was released 2 weeks ago. Even if people were working on it full time (35hours a week) that still just 70hours in the game.
The bug was occurring when playing the same save for 19884 hours !

I managed to finished my project thanks to a 3D printed router copying guide
!A picture of a 3D printed router guide !A 3D Model of a router guide
My router (makita) was supplied with a copying guide but the opening was too small.
I've look online but I could not managed to find the right size so I did what any sane person would do: print one
Edit: more pictures of the result !a dinosaur shaped observation tower !another picture of the observation tower with a kid standing on it
A symptom of linux past traumas
So, I had to reinstall windows as a dualboot, because I need some CAD tools for work. It was painful but it's not thebaubject
I'm running nixos with systemd-boot and I installed windows on another drive. I started to research how to add the entry on the boot list so I don't need to go in bios to switch the boot order each time I want to change OS.
Most of the information I find is about grub on nixos but I finally find information on how to add a manual entry. On the Arch wiki I find some information but now I have to blend all that to make it work on my laptop.
It's late and I'm scared to mess up my boot partition so I go to sleep to work instructions on it the next day.
The next day I'm ready to do all that only to realized that there is already the entry for windows is already in the boot menu, it has been added automatically.
So I spent all this time to think about how I while have to adjust my system manually only to realize that nixos already did it automatically for me.

Ca m'a donné la banane pour la semaine !

Not The Onion: a french group has been arrested 5 years ago and are currently being judged. A picture of macron with a dick drawn on it is cited as evidence of plotting a terrorism attack

To be fair they were also using encrypted messaging to talk to each other like WhatsApp and Signal, they even show their mom how to use it which is extremely suspicious.

Collective energy self-consumption, aka "selling electricity to your neighbor"
French grid operator Enedis has identified 187 collective self consumption operations in France, as of the end of March. The operations bring together 2,200 consumers and more than 300 producers, generating 11 MW total power capacity, mainly from solar.
I believe this is a very good initiative. France is allowing collective self consumption.
It means that in an appartement building or in a neighborhood (up to 2km radius) people can organize in a collective to redistribute electricity to each other. If someone has extra production one day then he can redistribute to other people in the collective. For free or at the price they agreed upon in the collective.
It does not need any extra hardware, it's using the existing installation from the national utility grid.
This is exactly how I imagine a solarpunk community would work.
