Streamera ? Streamera pas ? GTA 6 dans le cloud c’est compliqué
L’espoir a été rapidement douché. Dans un article publié dans la nuit du 6 au 7 octobre 2026, The Verge a affirmé que Microsoft avait acquis les droits exclusifs de diffusion de GTA 6 en streaming pour sa plateforme de cloud gaming.

Ecovacs Winbot Mini 2 : à -31 %, l’un des robots laveurs de vitres les plus compacts du marché est aussi l’un des moins chers pendant les Jours Flash Prime
Lancé cette année, l’Ecovacs Winbot Mini 2 se démarque des robots lave-vitres très complets, souvent accompagnés de stations de charge massives et encombrantes, à l’image du Winbot W2S Omni du même constructeur ou du Dreame C1 Station. La marque a plutôt souhaité proposer une machine très compacte, capable de circuler sur des zones de la vitre auxquelles d’autres modèles plus imposants ne peuvent pas accéder. Alors certes, il fait l’impasse sur la station de…

uGreen NASync DXP6800 Ultra review: Halfway between AI powerhouse and basic NAS
At $1,449.99, six hard drive bays in the uGreen NASync DXP6800 Ultra, coupled with dual 10GbE and Thunderbolt are the real draw, not its AI billing. A NAS lives or dies on two things. One is how much it can contain, the other is how fast you can move it. uGreen's DXP6800 Ultra bets hard on the second. It piles on connectivity that pricier rivals often charge extra for. The "Ultra" name and uGreen's…

Why do some PCs have two Ethernet ports?
Your PC probably doesn’t need both ports, but workstations and servers can put them to work. The two Ethernet ports on some PCs aren't a matter of aesthetics or a simple selling point. Their primary purpose is to provide the computer with more networking options, like backup connections or separate networks. If it's configured for failover and you lose a network connection on one, you still have access through the other. In most cases,…
