D'ordinaire, les mises à jour d'applications sur tvOS passent inaperçues, s'installant discrètement en arrière-plan. Mais la semaine dernière, Free a eu la main un peu lourde sur le code : les développeurs ont manifestement oublié de retirer un panneau de débogage avant de pousser la version en production.
Les abonnés utilisant l'Apple TV ont ainsi eu la surprise de voir apparaître un mystérieux encadré intitulé « Anti ad skipping manager ». Ce panneau, qui trônait fièrement dans le coin supérieur droit de l'écran, affichait ce qui ressemble fort aux horaires des pages de publicités prévues sur le programme en cours. Pratique pour les ingénieurs de l'opérateur, nettement moins pour l'utilisateur qui souhaite simplement profiter de son film sans pollution visuelle.
Si vous faites partie des malchanceux qui voient encore des métadonnées s'afficher par-dessus votre série, rassurez-vous : l’opérateur a rectifié le tir. Une nouvelle mouture de l'application est disponible pour corriger cette petite erreur de manipulation.
Pour retrouver un écran propre, direction l'App Store de votre Apple TV pour forcer la mise à jour. Assurez-vous de bien avoir installé la version 2.35.1 (227) de Free TV. Une fois l'opération effectuée, les outils de développement retourneront là où ils n'auraient jamais dû sortir : dans les coulisses du logiciel.
L’Apple TV n’est plus proposée par Free pour le moment
For workers sending money to support their relatives, payments are both a burden and badge of pride
From Senegal to Somalia and Egypt to South Africa, credit alert notifications from fintech apps such as Western Union or WorldRemit often set the mood for the rest of the day, week or even month.
Transfers from workers within the continent and the diaspora to their relatives are often referred to as the “black tax”, whereby one person’s salary and relative success can become the safety net for a whole extended family.

I wanted to go in with no expectations.

I see the manure sellers as part of some lost and deeply English tradition, which is why I prefer my wife to deal with them
I am in the kitchen watching the dog and the cat fight when the tortoise suddenly appears. Or to put it another way: I watched the dog and the cat fight for a while, until it became tiresome; the next time I looked up – possibly 15 minutes later – the tortoise was also there. That’s what I mean by suddenly. In real terms, the tortoise doesn’t do anything suddenly.
“Where have you been?” I say, even though I know the answer. I haven’t seen the tortoise in six weeks, but I’m certain he’s been butted up against the left rear leg of the sofa for that whole period.

Brooklyn’s Instagram bombshell tested decades of image control, revealing how fame, PR and power collide behind the scenes
On a personal level, it’s all extremely sad. A once close family ripped apart by feuding and bitterness. A much-loved son blocking all contact with his parents and siblings.
From another perspective, however, for those who have followed the movements of David and Victoria Beckham in their 30 years in the (carefully curated) spotlight, the public falling out this week of Britain’s alternative royal family has been a car crash from which it is hard to look away.

Martin Rowson has been drawing for the Guardian since the 1980s; Ella Baron since 2022. In paint and pixels, each is tasked with capturing the chaos and absurdity of our political moment
Photographs and video by David Levene
Martin Rowson and Ella Baron are both regular contributors to the Guardian’s daily political cartoon. Martin has been with the Guardian for decades; Ella has been contributing since 2022. This week, we challenged the pair to draw on the same subject (Trump and a world in turmoil), on the same day, to see what each – with their different styles, tools and perspectives – would come up with. Martin landed on a Shakespearean scene, with a warped “King Leer” flanked by snickering world leaders. Ella proposed him squatting in a dystopian nest, surrounded by his spoils. Below, each reflects on their process, the challenges and joys of political cartoons, and what they have learned from one another.

Soft leeks and crisped tempeh drizzled in a sticky, spicy sweet soy sauce and liberally sprinkled with salted peanuts
Tempeh is a gift to all home cooks from Indonesia. Made from fermented compressed soy beans, it’s an intelligent ingredient equivalent to meat in terms of protein, subtle and nutty in flavour and chewy in texture. Happily, it is also now widely available in most large UK supermarkets. Here, the tempeh is cooked in a typical Indonesian way – that is, fried until crisp, then coated in a sticky, spicy sweet soy sauce and liberally sprinkled with salted peanuts. In fact, the only anomaly is the leeks, making this dish mostly Indonesian but via a field in Lincolnshire.

Why do some people age better than others? Five extraordinary individuals – who scientists are studying – share their tips
Lajuana Weathers is determined to be the healthiest version of herself. She starts each day with a celery juice, is always trying to increase her step count, and meditates daily. Weathers is also 89 years old. And she has no plans to slow down. “I wake up in the morning and feel blessed that I have another chance at a day of life,” says the grandmother of six, and great‑grandmother of six more, who lives in Illinois in an independent living facility for seniors. “I look at my life as a holistic entity, and in that life is my physical, social, emotional and spiritual wellbeing. I have to take care of all of those. That’s what I like about the ageing process. All the clutter of raising children is out and I can concentrate on the wellness of me.”
Weathers is a superager. This isn’t a self-proclaimed label, but one backed up by science – she is part of the SuperAging Research Initiative at the University of Chicago. To qualify for the study, you have to be over 80 years old and have memory performance that’s at least as good as the average 50- to 60-year-old. There are about 400 superagers enrolled across North America.
