20 millions maintenant, 23 millions dans un an
Dès le 31 janvier, c’est le début de la fin du cuivre pour 26 000 communes (20 millions locaux)

2026 devait être l’année de changement de braquet pour la fermeture du cuivre pour laisser place à la fibre optique. 2026 formera finalement une charnière avec 2027. Si 26 000 communes (20 millions de locaux) ne pourront plus souscrire au xDSL dès la fin du mois, ce sera finalement le 31 janvier 2027 pour les 8 000 communes (23 millions de locaux) restantes.

La fermeture du cuivre est un chantier de longue haleine, lancé par Orange en 2019, avec comme objectif 2030 et l’Arcep qui veille au grain. Le plan s’est peaufiné avec le temps, mais il comporte deux grandes phases. Une dite de transition entre 2020 et 2025 avec des expérimentations, et une seconde phase de fermeture, entre 2026 et 2030.

Orange veut « zéro client sur le cuivre » d’ici fin 2030

Concrètement, cela signifie de commencer par arrêter la commercialisation de nouveaux abonnements sur le cuivre, c’est-à-dire les fameux (mais appartenant désormais au passé) forfaits xDSL (dégroupés ou non) et autres abonnements voix seulement.

Vient ensuite la fermeture technique, plus franche et surtout avec des conséquences pour les anciens clients : « la ligne téléphonique, l’accès internet via ADSL, SDSL, VDSL et les services associés (télésurveillance, téléassistance…) ne seront plus accessibles », explique Orange. Objectif affiché : « zéro client sur le cuivre » en novembre 2030.

Maintenant que nous sommes en 2026, nous entrons dans la seconde phase, celle de la fermeture. Le 31 janvier de cette année, Orange prévoyait rien de moins que la fermeture commerciale pour « 90 % des locaux en France ». Le compte n’y est pas, et de loin.

L’IA de shopping d’Amazon revend des produits à l’insu et contre le gré de leurs vendeurs

L’IA de shopping d’Amazon revend des produits à l’insu et contre le gré de leurs vendeurs

Des boutiques en ligne ayant toujours refusé de commercer avec Amazon viennent de découvrir que ses IA de « commerce agentique » revendent leurs produits sur la plateforme, « à l’insu de leur plein gré ». Et ce, alors qu’Amazon refuse lui-même explicitement que les agents IA des autres plateformes puissent accéder à sa marketplace.

Début novembre, Amazon attaquait Perplexity AI en justice pour empêcher le navigateur Comet de ce dernier de continuer à proposer à ses utilisateurs de réaliser des achats en leur nom, évoquant une « dégradation significative de l’expérience d’achat et du service client » :

« Nous pensons qu’il est assez évident que les applications tierces qui proposent d’effectuer des achats pour le compte de clients auprès d’autres entreprises doivent fonctionner de manière transparente et respecter les décisions des prestataires de services quant à leur participation ou non. »

Un an plus tôt, Amazon avait déjà demandé à Perplexity d’arrêter de déployer des agents d’IA capables d’acheter des produits à la place de ses utilisateurs. Amazon demandait qu’un accord soit trouvé pour que les opérations puissent reprendre dans des conditions approuvées par le géant du commerce en ligne.

Le fichier robots.txt d’Amazon interdit d’ailleurs à une quarantaine de robots d’indexer ses pages web, rajoutant à PerplexityBot Google-Extended, GoogleAgent-Mariner, GoogleAgent-Shopping et Google-NotebookLM, mais également Gemini-Deep-Research, ClaudeBot, MistralAI-User, DuckAssistBot, Copilot, Claude-User, Claude-SearchBot, Perplexity-User et ChatGPT-User, notamment.

Or, des dizaines de petits commerçants, ayant jusqu’alors explicitement refusé de vendre leurs produits sur Amazon, viennent de découvrir que les agents IA du mastodonte du commerce en ligne les proposaient pourtant à la vente sur son nouveau service « Buy for me ».

Lancé en version bêta en avril 2025, il propose aux clients états-uniens d’Amazon d’ « acheter directement dans d’autres magasins en toute simplicité de nouveaux produits qui ne sont actuellement pas disponibles sur Amazon ».

Contrainte de devoir rembourser des achats qu’Amazon a validés à sa place

ModernRetail raconte qu’Angie Chua avait toujours refusé de commercialiser ses produits sur Amazon depuis le lancement de sa propre boutique de carnets de voyage et autres objets de papeterie, Bobo Design Studio, en 2016.

Ultimate Camouflage Tech Mimics Octopus In Scientific First

Researchers at Stanford University have created a programmable synthetic "skin" that can independently change color and texture, "a feat previously only available within the animal kingdom," reports the Register. From the report: The technique employs electron beams to write patterns and add optical layers that create color effects. When exposed to water, the film swells to reveal texture and colors independently, depending on which side of the material is exposed, according to a paper published in the scientific journal Nature this week. In an accompanying article, University of Stuttgart's Benjamin Renz and Na Liu said the researchers' "most striking achievement was a photonic skin in which color and texture could be independently controlled, mirroring the separate regulation... in octopuses." The research team used the polymer PEDOT:PSS, which can swell in water, as the basis for their material. Its reaction to water can be controlled by irradiating it with electrons, creating textures and patterns in the film. By adding thin layers of gold, the researchers turned surface texture into tunable optical effects. A single layer could be used to scatter light, giving the shiny metal a matte, textured appearance. To control color, a polymer film was sandwiched between two layers of gold, forming an optical cavity, which selectively reflects light.

Some Super-Smart Dogs Can Learn New Words Just By Eavesdropping

✇Slashdot

9 janvier 2026 à 03:30
An anonymous reader quotes a report from NPR: [I]t turns out that some genius dogs can learn a brand new word, like the name of an unfamiliar toy, by just overhearing brief interactions between two people. What's more, these "gifted" dogs can learn the name of a new toy even if they first hear this word when the toy is out of sight -- as long as their favorite human is looking at the spot where the toy is hidden. That's according to a new study in the journal Science. "What we found in this study is that the dogs are using social communication. They're using these social cues to understand what the owners are talking about," says cognitive scientist Shany Dror of Eotvos Lorand University and the University of Veterinary Medicine, Vienna. "This tells us that the ability to use social information is actually something that humans probably had before they had language," she says, "and language was kind of hitchhiking on these social abilities." [...] "There's only a very small group of dogs that are able to learn this differentiation and then can learn that certain labels refer to specific objects," she says. "It's quite hard to train this and some dogs seem to just be able to do it." [...] To explore the various ways that these dogs are capable of learning new words, Dror and some colleagues conducted a study that involved two people interacting while their dog sat nearby and watched. One person would show the other a brand new toy and talk about it, with the toy's name embedded into sentences, such as "This is your armadillo. It has armadillo ears, little armadillo feet. It has a tail, like an armadillo tail." Even though none of this language was directed at the dogs, it turns out the super-learners registered the new toy's name and were later able to pick it out of a pile, at the owner's request. To do this, the dogs had to go into a separate room where the pile was located, so the humans couldn't give them any hints. Dror says that as she watched the dogs on camera from the other room, she was "honestly surprised" because they seemed to have so much confidence. "Sometimes they just immediately went to the new toy, knowing what they're supposed to do," she says. "Their performance was really, really high." She and her colleagues wondered if what mattered was the dog being able to see the toy while its name was said aloud, even if the words weren't explicitly directed at the dog. So they did another experiment that created a delay between the dog seeing a new toy and hearing its name. The dogs got to see the unfamiliar toy and then the owner dropped the toy in a bucket, so it was out of sight. Then the owner would talk to the dog, and mention the toy's name, while glancing down at the bucket. While this was more difficult for dogs, overall they still could use this information to learn the name of the toy and later retrieve it when asked. "This shows us how flexible they are able to learn," says Dror. "They can use different mechanisms and learn under different conditions."

YouTube Will Now Let You Filter Shorts Out of Search Results

YouTube is updating search filters so users can explicitly choose between Shorts and long-form videos. The change also replaces view-count sorting with a new "Popularity" filter and removes underperforming options like "Sort by Rating." The Verge reports: Right now, a filter-less search shows a mix of longform and short form videos, which can be annoying if you just want to see videos in one format or the other. But in the new search filters, among other options, you can pick to see "Videos," which in my testing has only showed a list of longform videos, or "Shorts," which just shows Shorts. YouTube is also removing the "Upload Date - Last Hour" and "Sort by Rating" filters because they "were not working as expected and had contributed to user complaints." The company will still offer other "Upload Date" filters, like "Today," "This week," "This Month," and "This Year," and you can also find popular videos with the new "Popularity" filter, which is replacing the "View count" sort option. (With the new "Popularity" filter, YouTube says that "our systems assess a video's view count and other relevance signals, such as watch time, to determine its popularity for that specific query.")

Lawsuit Over OpenAI For-Profit Conversion Can Head To Trial, US Judge Says

Longtime Slashdot reader schwit1 shares a report from Reuters: Billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk persuaded a judge on Wednesday to allow a jury trial on his allegations that ChatGPT maker OpenAI violated its founding mission in its high-profile restructuring to a for-profit entity. Musk was a cofounder of OpenAI in 2015 but left in 2018 and now runs an AI company that competes with it. U.S. District Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers in Oakland, California, said at a hearing that there was "plenty of evidence" suggesting OpenAI's leaders made assurances that its original nonprofit structure was going to be maintained. The judge said there were enough disputed facts to let a jury consider the claims at a trial scheduled for March, rather than decide the issues herself. She said she would issue a written order after the hearing that addresses OpenAI's bid to throw out the case. [...] Musk contends he contributed about $38 million, roughly 60% of OpenAI's early funding, along with strategic guidance and credibility, based on assurances that the organization would remain a nonprofit dedicated to the public benefit. The lawsuit accuses OpenAI co-founders Sam Altman and Greg Brockman of plotting a for-profit switch to enrich themselves, culminating in multibillion-dollar deals with Microsoft and a recent restructuring. OpenAI, Altman and Brockman have denied the claims, and they called Musk "a frustrated commercial competitor seeking to slow down a mission-driven market leader." Microsoft is also a defendant and has urged the judge to toss Musk's lawsuit. A lawyer for Microsoft said there was no evidence that the company "aided and abetted" OpenAI. OpenAI in a statement after the hearing said: "Mr Musk's lawsuit continues to be baseless and a part of his ongoing pattern of harassment, and we look forward to demonstrating this at trial."

Illinois Department of Human Services disclosed that a misconfigured internal mapping website exposed sensitive personal data for more than 700,000 Illinois residents for over four years, from April 2021 to September 2025. Officials say they can't confirm whether the publicly accessible data was ever viewed. TechCrunch reports: Officials said the exposed data included personal information on 672,616 individuals who are Medicaid and Medicare Savings Program recipients. The data included their addresses, case numbers, and demographic data -- but not individuals' names. The exposed data also included names, addresses, case statuses, and other information relating to 32,401 individuals in receipt of services from the department's Division of Rehabilitation Services.

Google Is Adding an 'AI Inbox' To Gmail That Summarizes Emails

9 janvier 2026 à 00:10
An anonymous reader quotes a report from Wired: Google is putting even more generative AI tools into Gmail as part of its goal to further personalize user inboxes and streamline searches. On Thursday, the company announced a new "AI Inbox" tab, currently in a beta testing phase, that reads every message in a user's Gmail and suggests a list of to-dos and key topics, based on what it summarizes. In Google's example of what this AI Inbox could look like in Gmail, the new tab takes context from a user's messages and suggests they reschedule their dentist appointment, reply to a request from their child's sports coach, and pay an upcoming fee before the deadline. Also under the AI Inbox tab is a list of important topics worth browsing, nestled beneath the action items at the top. Each suggested to-do and topic links back to the original email for more context and for verification. [...] For users who are concerned about their privacy, the information Google gleans by skimming through inboxes will not be used to improve the company's foundational AI models. "We didn't just bolt AI onto Gmail," says Blake Barnes, who leads the project for Google. "We built a secure privacy architecture, specifically for this moment." He emphasizes that users can turn off Gmail's new AI tools if they don't want them. At the same time Google announced its AI Inbox, the company made free for all Gmail users multiple Gemini features that were previously available only to paying subscribers. This includes the Help Me Write tool, which generates emails from a user prompt, as well as AI Overviews for email threads, which essentially posts a TL;DR summary at the top of long message threads. Subscribers to Google's Ultra and Pro plans, which start at $20 a month, get two additional new features in their Gmail inbox. First, an AI proofreading tool that suggests more polished grammar and sentence structures. And second, an AI Overviews tool that can search your whole inbox and create relevant summaries on a topic, rather than just summarizing a single email thread.

French Court Orders Google DNS to Block Pirate Sites, Dismisses 'Cloudflare-First' Defense

✇Slashdot
Par :BeauHD
8 janvier 2026 à 23:30
Paris Judicial Court ordered Google to block additional pirate sports-streaming domains at the DNS level, rejecting Google's argument that enforcement should target upstream providers like Cloudflare first. "The blockade was requested by Canal+ and aims to stop pirate streams of Champions League games," notes TorrentFreak. From the report: Most recently, Google was compelled to take action following a complaint from French broadcaster Canal+ and its subsidiaries regarding Champions League piracy.. Like previous blocking cases, the request is grounded in Article L. 333-10 of the French Sports Code, which enables rightsholders to seek court orders against any entity that can help to stop 'serious and repeated' sports piracy. After reviewing the evidence and hearing arguments from both sides, the Paris Court granted the blocking request, ordering Google to block nineteen domain names, including antenashop.site, daddylive3.com, livetv860.me, streamysport.org and vavoo.to. The latest blocking order covers the entire 2025/2026 Champions League series, which ends on May 30, 2026. It's a dynamic order too, which means that if these sites switch to new domains, as verified by ARCOM, these have to be blocked as well. Google objected to the blocking request. Among other things, it argued that several domains were linked to Cloudflare's CDN. Therefore, suspending the sites on the CDN level would be more effective, as that would render them inaccessible. Based on the subsidiarity principle, Google argued that blocking measures should only be ordered if attempts to block the pirate sites through more direct means have failed. The court dismissed these arguments, noting that intermediaries cannot dictate the enforcement strategy or blocking order. Intermediaries cannot require "prior steps" against other technical intermediaries, especially given the "irremediable" character of live sports piracy. The judge found the block proportional because Google remains free to choose the technical method, even if the result is mandated. Internet providers, search engines, CDNs, and DNS resolvers can all be required to block, irrespective of what other measures were taken previously. Google further argued that the blocking measures were disproportionate because they were complex, costly, easily bypassed, and had effects beyond the borders of France. The Paris court rejected these claims. It argued that Google failed to demonstrate that implementing these blocking measures would result in "important costs" or technical impossibilities. Additionally, the court recognized that there would still be options for people to bypass these blocking measures. However, the blocks are a necessary step to "completely cease" the infringing activities.

Microsoft is embedding full e-commerce checkout directly into Copilot chats, letting users buy products without ever visiting a retailer's website. "If checkout happens inside AI conversations, retailers risk losing direct customer relationships -- while platforms like Microsoft gain leverage," reports Axios. From the report: Microsoft unveiled new agentic AI tools for retailers at the NRF 2026 retail conference, including Copilot Checkout, which lets shoppers complete purchases inside Copilot without being redirected to a retailer's website. The checkout feature is live in the U.S. with Shopify, PayPal, Stripe and Etsy integrations. Copilot apps have more than 100 million monthly active users, spanning consumer and commercial audiences, according to the company. More than 800 million monthly active users interact with AI features across Microsoft products more broadly. Shopping journeys involving Copilot are 33% shorter than traditional search paths and see a 53% increase in purchases within 30 minutes of interaction, Microsoft says. When shopping intent is present, journeys involving Copilot are 194% more likely to result in a purchase than those without it.

Wi-Fi Advocates Get Win From FCC With Vote To Allow Higher-Power Devices

✇Slashdot

8 janvier 2026 à 22:10
An anonymous reader quotes a report from Ars Technica: The Federal Communications Commission plans to authorize a new category of wireless devices in the 6 GHz Wi-Fi band that will be permitted to operate at higher power levels than currently allowed. The FCC will also consider authorizing higher power levels for certain wireless devices that are only allowed to operate indoors. The FCC said it scheduled a vote for its January 29 meeting on an order "to create a new category of unlicensed devices... that can operate outdoors and at higher power than previously authorized devices." These so-called Geofenced variable power (GVP) devices operating on the 6 GHz band will "support high data rates suitable for AR/VR, short-range hotspots, automation, and indoor navigation," and "overcome limitations of previous device classes by allowing higher power and outdoor mobility," the FCC said. They will be required to work with geofencing systems to avoid interference with fixed microwave links and radio astronomy observatories. FCC Chairman Brendan Carr attributed the FCC's planned action to President Trump in a press release titled, "President Trump Unleashes American Innovation With 6 GHz Win." That's consistent with Carr's relatively new stance that the FCC takes orders from the president, despite his insisting during the Biden era that the FCC must operate independently from the White House. While many of Carr's regulatory decisions have been criticized by consumer advocates, the 6 GHz action is an exception. Michael Calabrese, of New America's Open Technology Institute, told Ars that "increasing the power levels for Wi-Fi connections to peripheral devices such as AR/VR is a big win for consumers" and a change that has been "long advocated by the Wi-Fi community." Carr said that the FCC "will vote on an order that expands unlicensed operations in the 6 GHz band so that consumers can benefit from better, faster Wi-Fi and an entirely new generation of wireless devices -- from AR/VR and IoT to a range of innovative smart devices. [It] will do so through a set of forward-looking regulations that allow devices to operate at higher power while protecting incumbent users, including through geofencing systems." [...] A draft of the order said the planned "additional power will enable composite standard-power/LPI access points to increase indoor coverage and provide more versatility to American consumers." The FCC will also seek comment on a proposal to authorize LPI access points on cruise ships.

The Gap Between Premium and Budget TV Brands is Quickly Closing

8 janvier 2026 à 21:30
The long-standing hierarchy in the TV market -- Sony, Samsung and LG at the top, TCL and Hisense fighting it out in the midrange -- is eroding as the budget brands close the performance gap and increasingly lead on technology innovation, The Verge writes. Hisense debuted the first RGB LED TV last year, and TCL's X11L announced at CES 2026 is the first TV to use reformulated quantum dots and a new color filter. TCL's QM9K release last year was "a pretty clear statement that they're ready to fight with the big boys." The premium brands retain certain advantages: Sony's processing remains unmatched and LG's OLEDs deliver contrast that mini LED cannot match. "Even as the gap in performance across technologies continues to shrink, and TVs from all the manufacturers get closer to parity, the challenge for TCL and Hisense shifts from creating incredible, competitive products to altering perception," The Verge notes. Samsung once owned the art TV segment entirely; CES 2026 saw announcements from Amazon's Ember Artline and LG's Gallery TV, all using similar edge-lit technology and magnetic frames. The experience across brands is "remarkably similar." If the pricing gap persists and performance remains comparable, "the big three will have to respond by bringing their pricing down or risk losing sales," the publication concluded.

☕️ Internet est coupé à grande échelle en Iran, alerte l’ONG Netblocks

Alors que les protestations contre le régime en place s’intensifient depuis douze jours en Iran, l’ONG Netblocks a alerté jeudi, en fin d’après-midi, sur la coupure progressive des principaux réseaux de télécommunications à l’échelle du pays. Ce n’est pas la première fois que l’Iran se ferme ainsi.

« Les données en direct du réseau montrent que Téhéran et d’autres régions d’Iran sont désormais plongées dans un black-out numérique, la connexion internet étant interrompue chez plusieurs fournisseurs. Ce nouvel incident fait suite à des coupures régionales et risque de limiter fortement la couverture des événements sur le terrain, alors que les manifestations s’étendent », s’inquiète Netblocks sur ses réseaux sociaux.

Partagée par Netblocks sur ses réseaux sociaux, cette capture d’écran illustre le trafic mesuré au niveau de l’AS58224 opéré par Iran Telecommunication Company PJS

« Cet incident fait suite à une série de mesures de censure numérique croissantes visant les manifestations à travers le pays et entrave le droit du public à communiquer à un moment critique », ajoute encore l’ONG, selon qui ces coupures sont donc à mettre au crédit du régime de Téhéran.

Cloudflare confirme la situation via son Radar, avec un trafic quasi nul en Iran depuis la fin d’après-midi. En début d’après-midi, « le nombre d’adresses IPv6 annoncées en Iran a chuté d’environ 98,5 % », ajoute Cloudflare. D’après nos constatations, plusieurs sites officiels de l’administration iranienne étaient inaccessibles jeudi vers 20h30 (heure de Paris).

L’ONG Iran Human Rights s’est elle aussi inquiétée jeudi du durcissement de la réponse apportée par le pouvoir aux manifestations. Surgies du bazar de Téhéran le 28 décembre dernier et motivées, au départ, par une inflation galopante doublée d’une monnaie complètement dévaluée, elles concernent maintenant tout le pays.

Iran Human Rights affirme que les forces de l’ordre ont procédé à des tirs à balle réelle, et estime qu’au moins 45 personnes, dont huit mineurs, ont été tués depuis le début du mouvement, dont 13 sur la seule journée du 7 janvier.

L’Iran s’était déjà massivement coupé d’Internet en juin dernier, en raison d’« inquiétudes » de cyberattaques. Le blackout avait été mis en place pendant plus de 60 heures. L’ONG Miaan rappelait alors les conséquences d’une telle coupure : communications internationales coupées, messageries (WhatsApp, Signal…) non disponibles, accès aux informations limité, etc.

Et si vous vous demandez comment l’Iran (ou d’autres pays) peuvent aussi facilement et rapidement se couper d’Internet, nous avons publié un dossier sur le sujet.
