Dans le plus grand secret, la Chine vient de propulser pour la quatrième fois son mystérieux avion spatial en orbite, marquant une nouvelle étape dans un programme qui défie discrètement la suprématie américaine dans ce secteur stratégique.
À quelques mois de la WWDC 2026, les attentes commencent déjà à se dessiner — et elles pourraient être plus mesurées que les années précédentes. Selon Mark Gurman, journaliste, Apple s’apprêterait à dévoiler des mises à jour logicielles relativement modestes, avec un accent mis davantage sur l’optimisation que sur les grandes ruptures.
Entré en version RC la semaine dernière, iOS 26.3 devrait être lancé dans le courant de cette semaine. Il s'agira d'une mise à jour assez mineure. De ce qu'on sait pour le moment, la mise à jour intègre un nouvel outil de transfert entre iOS et Android, la possibilité pour les utilisateurs...
YouTube Music change les règles du jeu. L'accès intégral aux paroles des chansons est désormais une fonctionnalité réservée aux abonnés Premium. Les utilisateurs de la version gratuite se voient limités à seulement cinq affichages avant que le texte ne soit flouté, une stratégie claire et assumée pour pousser à la souscription payante, alors même que la fonction s'est généralisée et est mise en avant chez Spotify
After a career in accountancy, Sally Goldner decided to get in the ring – as Zali Gold – and live out her childhood dreams
On the night of her 60th birthday, Sally Goldner climbed on to the top rope of the wrestling ring, to the roars of the crowd, and launched herself on to her competitors with a missile dropkick. The crowd roared. For a second, she was completely airborne, before landing on her opponents.
“‘Wow, I’m doing this,’” she thought. “Exhilarating. I couldn’t think of anything I’d rather be doing on my birthday.” She had seized her moment in an Alpha Pro battle royal, a multi-competitor elimination match. As her opponents – all men – threw her out of the ring, they wished her a happy birthday.
Club culture is notoriously hard to capture on film. Oscar-tipped director Oliver Laxe explains why he had to organise his own music festival in the Moroccan desert to find deeper meaning in dance-floor ecstasy
In the opening scene of Oliver Laxe’s existential mystery thriller Sirāt, a crowd of partygoers stack up a sound system for a rave in the southern Moroccan desert, where the paths of the film’s protagonists cross for the first time. Crucially, Laxe explains, the revellers were no ordinary extras. Most of them were committed, lifelong ravers who had travelled to the makeshift festival from across Europe. One of the DJs who played, Sebastian Vaughan AKA 69db, was a core member of Spiral Tribe, the pioneering British “free party” collective of the 1990s.
“In film, reality is usually made to adapt to the rules of cinema,” the French-born Spanish director tells me when we meet in Berlin. “But we do the opposite: we adapt cinema to reality.” When negotiating with the ravers how to best represent them in the film, he recalls, “they told us that the music cannot stop for three days. And we were really pleased with this idea”.
Ergonomic shape, quality materials and satisfying clicks, now with novel haptic feedback and repairable design
Logitech’s latest productivity power-house updates one of the greatest mice of all time with smoother materials, a repair-friendly design and a haptic motor for phone-like vibrations on your desktop.
The MX Master 4 is the latest evolution in a line of pioneering mice that dates back more than 20 years and has long been the mouse to beat for everything but hardcore PC gaming. Having given it a magnetic free-spinning scroll wheel, plenty of buttons and precise tracking, now Logitech is trying something different for its seven-generation: the ability to tap back at you.
Documentary following Laurence Philomène captures the vibrant palette of their work – and the shadows cast over it by prejudice
For non-binary trans photographer Laurence Philomène, art, life and identity are intimately entwined. Though drawing from art history, their photographs strike a distinctive note with their pastel colours; capturing queer subjects, including Philomène themself, in restful poses, these portraits bloom in soft hues of pink, purple, blue – the full rainbow. This style seems to seep into Catherine Legault’s intimate documentary, which captures not only the artist’s creative process but also their daily life with vibrancy.
Philomène’s home, just like their work, bursts with colour. As they prepare their first book, Puberty, which documents their transition, their home doubles as a photography studio. Philomène takes pictures of ordinary rituals, from taking their daily hormone shots to a gentle cuddle with their partner in bed. At a time when non-conforming gender expression is being policed, censored and even banned, these tableaux of trans life are more radical than ever. In contrast to conservative rhetoric demonising trans people, Philomène chooses to focus on moments of joy, love and respite.
Alison Spittle and Fern Brady’s hugely entertaining new show sees them tackle any topic they like. Plus, an amusingly personal take on how generative AI will affect the future of employment
“It’s clear that the theme of this podcast is us trying to talk about a topic and getting immediately sidetracked.” So say comedians Alison Spittle and Fern Brady about their new show. It’s a hugely entertaining ramble through subjects including Lily Allen’s “breakup album for narcissists” West End Girl, sex (“there’s more frigid people in England than Ireland”) and the length of pig orgasms (up to 90 minutes!). Lots of fun. Alexi Duggins

A new biography reveals Brown to be a man of exceptional vision and probity – what a contrast with today’s politics
For a while, during the 13 years when Gordon Brown was at the apex of British politics, it became fashionable, and then a cliche, to depict him as a Shakespearean protagonist. He was the Scot who would be king, consumed by vaulting ambition for the throne, or else the powerful man of action, devoured by envy of his onetime friend. But in an illuminating new biography by the political journalist James Macintyre, Brown emerges as something closer to the hero of a Victorian novel: a man who leads an epic life shaped by early misfortune and later tragedy, driven onward by a moral purpose that burns to the very end.
His is a compelling story. Bill Clinton was once described as the most psychologically complex occupant of the Oval Office since Richard Nixon; the same is surely true if you substitute Brown, Downing Street and Winston Churchill. Macintyre hails him as a “titan”, brimming with both intellectual firepower and the urge, rooted in Christian faith, to do good. (When the former archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams was asked to identify who in the current era most closely incarnates the values of the pastor and legendary anti-Nazi dissident Dietrich Bonhoeffer, he answered: “Gordon Brown.”) But Macintyre also describes his subject as “famously flawed”, with a volcanic temper, a talent for grudges – he stops speaking to Robin Cook and can barely remember why – a tendency towards “needless suspicion towards his perceived opponents” and a willingness to rely on a phalanx of “sometimes thuggish spin doctors”, expert in the blackest arts.

Venezuela’s opposition leader Maria Corina Machado said on Sunday that close ally Juan Pablo Guanipa was kidnapped in Caracas around midnight, just hours after his release from prison.
Que voilà une annonce très originale de la part de Sony au Japon, qui proposera dès le cinq mars une version PC de sa manette DualSense. Compagnon indispensable de la console PlayStation 5 avec des fonctionnalités uniques, la manette s'ouvrira à nos machines grâce à la présence d'un câble USB en bundle. Et c'est là que les choses se compliquent un peu, puisque pour l'instant seule une version Mignight Black est annoncée à 11480 yens, soit le même prix qu'une DualSense classique ! Le choix de Sony de ne pas proposer ce câble USB en accompagnement des autres versions est étonnant, mais peut-être que les choses bougeront par la suite.
Car au final, cette DualSense PC Ready, qui fonctionne aussi sur macOS, iOS et Android, est une DualSense tout à fait classique, avec ses points forts et points faibles. […]
Apple lancerait bientôt l'iPad A18 et l'iPad Air M4, d'après Mark Gurman sur Bloomberg. Ce devrait logiquement être pour le prochain cycle logiciel avec iPadOS 26.4 qui arrivera au début du printemps et qui intégrera la nouvelle version de Siri propulsée par Gemini. Un timing qui tomberait...
