Recevez tous les soirs un résumé de l’actu importante avec Le Récap’ C’est un article au titre intraduisible en français. « Everything I own, owned » joue sur le double sens de owned.

Actualité : Sur les parkings Lidl, des caméras lisent votre plaque d’immatriculation et sanctionnent si vous restez trop longtemps
Précisons tout d'abord que cette expérimentation technologique ne concerne qu'une dizaine de magasins en Pologne.

Mais qu'importe, Lidl sanctionne les clients polonais, les automobilistes ne découvrent la facture qu'après leur passage en caisse. La technologie repose sur la reconnaissance automatique des plaques, appelée ANPR. Des caméras sont placées à l'entrée et…

The only GameCube that could play CDs and DVDs is rarely found below $1,000 today
One reason GameCube games hold their value so well today is that, compared to other Nintendo consoles, it wasn't exactly a hot seller. Why was that? Well, it's partly because the PS2 had what the GameCube didn't: a built-in DVD player. Out of that market pressure was born the Panasonic Q. While this oddball GameCube/DVD player hybrid barely got off the ground, its scarcity has led to a second life as a niche collector's…

IEEE Senior Membership Demystified
For most of my career, my IEEE membership sat quietly in the background—a line on my résumé, a discount code for a conference registration, and access to the IEEE Xplore digital library, which I underutilized. I didn’t think much about the grade of membership available above that of the regular member. I assumed senior membership was reserved for people further along in their career than I was. They published more papers, had more gray…
