Iranian strikes have reportedly knocked out key AWS availability zones in Bahrain and Dubai, leaving parts of both regions effectively offline for an extended period and forcing Amazon to urge teams and customers to shift workloads elsewhere. "These two regions continue to be impaired, and services should not expect to be operating with normal levels of redundancy and resiliency," an internal Amazon communication memo reads. "We are actively working to free and reserve as much capacity as possible in the region for customers, and services should be scaled to the minimal footprint required to support customer migration." Big Technology reports: With the war now nearing its sixth week, Iran has made Amazon infrastructure in the Gulf an economic target and is now eyeing its peers. Amazon's Bahrain facilities have been hit multiple times, including a Wednesday strike that caused a fire. And its facilities in the UAE also sustained multiple hits. The IRGC is threatening multiple other U.S. tech giants, including Microsoft, Google, and Apple. Amazons infrastructure in Bahrain and Dubai each have three 'availability zones' or clusters of compute. Both Bahrain and Dubai have a zones that are "hard down" and and "impaired but functioning," per the internal communication. "We do not have a timeline for when DXB and BAH will return to normal operations," the internal post said.

Microsoft plans to invest $10 billion in Japan from 2026 to 2029 to expand AI infrastructure, boost local cloud capacity, train 1 million engineers and developers, and deepen cybersecurity cooperation with the Japanese government. Reuters reports: The investment includes the training of 1 million engineers and developers by 2030, Microsoft said, which was unveiled during a visit to Tokyo by Vice Chair and President Brad Smith. In a statement, the company said the plan aligns with Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi's goal to boost growth through advanced, strategic technologies while safeguarding national security. Microsoft will work with domestic firms including SoftBank and Sakura Internet to expand Japan-based AI computing capacity, allowing Ecompanies and government agencies to keep sensitive data within the country while accessing Microsoft Azure services, it said. It will also deepen cooperation with Japanese authorities on sharing intelligence related to cyber threats and crime prevention.

Netflix Must Refund Customers For Years of Price Hikes, Italian Court Rules

Par : BeauHD
3 avril 2026 à 21:00
A Rome court ruled that several Netflix price hikes in Italy were unlawful because the company's contracts didn't adequately explain or justify future pricing changes. As a result, Netflix has been ordered to issue refunds that could total roughly 500 euros for some long-term subscribers. Ars Technica reports: The lawsuit was brought by Italian consumer advocacy group Movimento Consumatori, which alleged that the price hikes violate the Consumer Code, Italian legislation that aims to protect consumer rights. The Consumer Code says it's unlawful for a "professional to unilaterally modify the clauses of the contract, or the characteristics of the product or service to be provided, without a justified reason indicated in the contract itself," according to a Google-provided translation. The court's April 1 ruling determined that Netflix's contracts were required to explain in advance why prices or other terms might change in the future. Because the price hikes were found to be imposed without providing customers with valid justifications, the court ruled that the new prices are invalid and ordered Netflix to refund affected subscribers. This comes despite Netflix reportedly providing a 30-day advance notice of the higher fees and allowing customers to cancel their subscriptions to avoid price hikes. The court gave Netflix 90 days to inform millions of current and former customers via email, mail, its website, and Italian newspapers of their right to refunds or else face a penalty of 700 euros per day, Italian newspaper Il Sole 24 Ore reported today. Per Italian law, price increases that Netflix has issued or will issue beyond April 2025 are legal. At that time, Netflix adjusted its terms to state that contract terms could one day change due to technological, security, or regulatory needs, to clarify clauses, or to provide changes to the service, Il Sole 24 Ore reported.

Archive of Our Own (AO3) is officially dropping its "beta" label after 17 years. The Organization for Transformative Works, the nonprofit behind the fanfiction site, said the site will keep evolving with new improvements even though it's no longer technically in beta. "As the AO3 software has been stable for a long time, the change is mostly cosmetic and does not indicate that everything is finalized or perfectly working," the organizations says. "Exiting beta doesn't mean we'll stop continuing to improve AO3 -- our volunteer coders and community contributors will still be working to add to and improve AO3 every day." Some of the features it's introduced over the years include a tag system, offline fanworks downloads, privacy settings that let creators restrict access to their work, and new modes for multi-chapter works. As it stands, the site says it has more than 10 million registered users and 17 million fanworks.

Tech Companies Are Trying To Neuter Colorado's Landmark Right-to-Repair Law

Par : BeauHD
3 avril 2026 à 19:00
An anonymous reader quotes a report from Wired: Today at a hearing of the Colorado Senate Business, Labor, and Technology committee, lawmakers voted unanimously to move Colorado state bill SB26-090 -- titled Exempt Critical Infrastructure from Right to Repair -- out of committee and into the state senate and house for a vote. The bill modifies Colorado's Consumer Right to Repair Digital Electronic Equipment act, which was passed in 2024 and went into effect in January 2026. While the protections secured by that act are wide, the new SB26-090 bill aims to "exempt information technology equipment that is intended for use in critical infrastructure from Colorado's consumer right to repair laws." The bill is supported by tech manufacturers like Cisco and IBM, according to lobbying disclosures. These are companies that have vested interests in manufacturing things like routers, server equipment, and computers and stand to profit if they can control who fixes their products and the tools, components, and software used to make those upgrades and repairs. They also cite cybersecurity concerns, saying that giving people access to the tools and systems they would need to repair a device could also enable bad actors to use those methods for nefarious means. (This is a common argument manufacturers make when opposing right-to-repair laws.) [...] During the hearing, more than a dozen repair advocates spoke from organizations like Pirg, the Repair Association, and iFixit opposing the bill. YouTuber and repair advocate Louis Rossmann was there. The main problem, repair advocates say, is that the bill deliberately uses vague language to make the case for controlling who can fix their products. [...] The Colorado Labor and Technology committee advanced the bill, but it still needs to go through votes on the Colorado Senate and House floors before going into effect. Those votes may take place as early as next week. Regardless of how the bill goes in the state, it's likely that manufacturers will continue their push to alter or undo repair legislation in other states across the country. "The 'information technology' and 'critical infrastructure' thing is as cynical as you can possibly be about it," says Nathan Proctor, the leader of Pirg's US right-to-repair campaign. "It sounds scary to lawmakers, but it just means the internet." The current wording of the bill "leaves it up to the manufacturers to determine which items they will need to provide repair tools and parts to owners and independent repairers and which ones they don't," says Danny Katz, executive director CoPIRG, the Colorado branch of the consumer advocate group Pirg. "This is a bad policy and would be a big step back for Coloradans' repair rights." iFixit CEO Kyle Wiens said in the hearing: "There's a general principle in cybersecurity that obscurity is not security," iFixit CEO Kyle Wiens said in the hearing. "The money that's behind the scenes, that's what's driving the bill."

College Student, Cat Meme Helped Crack Massive Botnet Case

Par : BeauHD
3 avril 2026 à 18:00
The Wall Street Journal shares the "wild behind-the-scenes story" of how the world's largest and most destructive botnet was uncovered and taken down, writes Slashdot reader sturgeon. "At times, the network known as Kimwolf included more than a million compromised home Android devices and digital photo frames -- enough DDoS firepower to disrupt internet traffic across the U.S. and beyond." From the report: Sitting in his dorm room at the Rochester Institute of Technology, Benjamin Brundage was closing in on a mystery that had even seasoned internet investigators baffled. A cat meme helped him crack the case. A growing network of hacked devices was launching the biggest cyberattacks ever seen on the internet. It had become the most powerful cyberweapon ever assembled, large enough to knock a state or even a small country offline. Investigators didn't know exactly who had built it -- or how. Brundage had been following the attacks, too -- and, in between classes, was conducting his own investigation. In September, the college senior started messaging online with an anonymous user who seemed to have insider knowledge. As they chatted on Discord, a platform favored by videogamers, Brundage was eager to get more information, but he didn't want to come off as too serious and shut down the conversation. So every now and then he'd send a funny GIF to lighten the mood. Brundage was fluent in the memes, jokes and technical jargon popular with young gamers and hackers who are extremely online. "It was a bit of just asking over and over again and then like being a bit unserious," said Brundage. At one point, he asked for some technical details. He followed up with the cat meme: a six-second clip that showed a hand adjusting a necktie on a fluffy gray cat. Brundage didn't expect it to work, but he got the information. "It took me by surprise," he said. Eventually the leaker hinted there was a new vulnerability on the internet. Brundage, who is 22, would learn it threatened tens of millions of consumers and as much as a quarter of the world's corporations. As he unraveled the mystery, he impressed veteran researchers with his findings -- including federal law enforcement, which took action against the network two weeks ago. Chad Seaman, a researcher at Akamai, joked at one point that the internet could go down if Brundage spent too much time on his exams.

Ryzen 9 9950X3D2 : EK estime qu'un refroidissement trop léger peut limiter les performances

3 avril 2026 à 15:29

Avec son Ryzen 9 9950X3D2 Dual Edition récemment annoncé, AMD annonce que le processeur ne sera livré avec aucun système de refroidissement. La raison est simple : AMD recommande l'usage d'un refroidissement liquide, car un refroidissement par air risque de brider en partie le processeur. En effet, celui-ci, avec ses 16 cœurs / 32 threads et son boost à 5,6 GHz, est annoncé à 200 W de TDP. Or, depuis quelque temps, AMD s'appuie beaucoup sur le Precision Boost, qui ajuste en temps réel la fréquence d'horloge en fonction de la marge thermique. En d'autres termes, dès que le processeur chauffe trop, il perd en performances. EK profite donc de l'occasion pour mettre en avant son EK-Quantum Velocity³, un waterblock que la marque présente comme idéal pour le Ryzen 9 9950X3D2, notamment grâce à une conception annoncée comme mieux adaptée au hotspot du processeur.

Penalties Stack Up As AI Spreads Through the Legal System

Par : BeauHD
3 avril 2026 à 17:00
Tony Isaac shares a report from NPR: When it comes to using AI, it seems some lawyers just can't help themselves. Last year saw a rapid increase in court sanctions against attorneys for filing briefs containing errors generated by artificial intelligence tools. The most prominent case was that of the lawyers for MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell, who were fined $3,000 each for filing briefs containing fictitious, AI-generated citations. But as a cautionary tale, it doesn't seem to have had much effect. The numbers started taking off last year, and the rate is still increasing. He counts a total of more than 1,200 to date, of which about 800 are from U.S. courts. "I am surprised that people are still doing this when it's been in the news," says Carla Wale, associate dean of information & technology and director of the law library at the University of Washington School of Law. "Whatever the generative AI tool gives you -- as in, 'Look at these cases' -- you, under the rules of professional conduct, you have to read those cases. You have to read the cases to make sure what you are citing is accurate." "I think that lawyers who understand how to effectively and ethically use generative AI replace lawyers who don't," she says. "That's what I think the future is."

GMKtec NucBox K17 : un nouveau MiniPC sous Core Ultra 5 226V

4 avril 2026 à 10:15

Mise à jour : Je découvre ce matin qu’après avoir laissé le NucBox K17 dans mon panier avec un compte enregistré sur le site de la marque, j’ai reçu un code promo dans ma boite aux lettres. Le code abandon20 permet de réduire la note de 20€ ! Je viens de tester en navigation privée et le code fonctionne pour tout le monde.

Le GMK NucBox K17 se positionne sur un segment plus entrée de gamme avec une puce moins rapide que celle du NucBox K13 mais qui garde l’avantage d’être équipée en mémoire vive. Par les temps qui courent, pour certains acteurs, c’est un énorme avantage.

Le NucBox K17 embarque donc un processeur Lunar Lake Core Ultra 5 226V 8 cœurs avec 4 cœurs P Lion Cove et 4 cœurs E Skymont pour 8 Threads au total et une fréquence maximale de 4.5 GHz. Cette puce au TDP de 17 watts propose également un circuit graphique Intel ARC 130V avec 7 cœurs Xe à 1.85 GHz. Et, comme indiqué, 16 Go de LPDDR5x-8533 préinstallé.

Le système de refroidissement emploie un double caloduc en cuivre qui distribue la chaleur aux ailettes. L’air frais est aspiré par les côtés avant d’être repoussé dehors par un ventilateur piloté. Le constructeur indique plusieurs modes de fonctionnement qui vont d’une solution équilibrée à 25 W de TDP en passant par un mode silencieux à 20 W et d’un mode performance qui pousse la puce à 35 W. Pas d’informations quant à la sélection de ces modes, ce qui signifie probablement un passage par le BIOS obligatoire pour naviguer de l’un à l’autre.

Pour ce MiniPC, GMKtec ajoute un stockage de 512 Go ou 1 To à l’ensemble. Il s’agit d’un NVMe PCIe 4.0 au format M.2 2280 installé sur port M.2 au format supérieur puisque capable de piloter des solutions PCIe Gen5 x 4, le second port étant un NVMe PCIe Gen4 x2 moins performant. Les deux ports M.2 pourront accueillir des SSD double face et donc 8 To chacun. On retrouvera également, en interne, un module sans fil Wi-Fi6 et Bluetooth 5.2 assez classique AMD RZ616.

La connectique est assez complète pour un engin de ce type. Le boitier mesure 12.75 cm de large, 12.7 cm de profondeur et 4.45 cm d’épaisseur. Il pèse moins de 500 grammes. On retrouve en face avant une paire de ports USB Type-A. Le premier en USB 3.2 Gen2 et le second en USB 3.2 Gen1. Un USB4 proposant Power Delivery 3.0 en 100W et un signal DisplayPort 1.4 en plus d’un transfert 40 Gbps est également présent. Un jack audio combo 3.5 mm complète le dispositif connectique à côté d’un bouton de démarrage très classique illuminé d’une LED.

Sur la face arrière du NucBox K17, on retrouve trois ports USB 3.2 Type-A supplémentaires ainsi qu’un USB 2.0 Type-A, deux ports HDMI 2.1 sont présents, ce qui permettra à l’engin de gérer un triple affichage. Un Ethernet 2.5 Gigabit complète les réseaux sans fil. La coque semble en plastique et on remarque un dispositif d’évacuation d’air chaud judicieusement positionné au-dessus de la connectique.

Le GMKtec NucBox K17 offrira un usage très classique

GMKtec positionne cet engin à cheval entre une offre classique pour des usages productifs assez larges d’un côté. Et un engin dédié à l’IA avec OpenClaw de l’autre. Une fonction d’auto-installation de cet agent est d’ailleurs proposée. Une manière de mettre en avant les capacités de la puce avec son NPU mais également les fonctions de calculs IA de son circuit graphique. D’un point de vue usages, pas grand-chose à redire. La puce Lunar Lake est taillée pour tous les programmes récents. On pourra faire de la bureautique, du multimédia, de la programmation. Modéliser en 3D, retoucher des images, faire du montage vidéo ou audio. Le jeu sera en retrait sur les titres les plus gourmands mais la puce embarquée reste capable de piloter de nombreux titres en 720 et 1080P.

NucBox K17

Le MiniPC est d’ores et déjà disponible sur le site de la marque en deux variantes. Le NucBox K17 avec 512 Go y est présenté à 529.99€. La version 1 To est quant à elle proposée à 569.99€. La machine est livrée sans frais de port depuis un stock européen. Les deux versions étant préinstallées sous Windows 11 Pro.

Half of Planned US Data Center Builds Have Been Delayed or Canceled

Par : BeauHD
3 avril 2026 à 16:00
Despite hundreds of billions of dollars in investment, nearly half of planned U.S. data center projects are being delayed or canceled. "One major reason behind these setbacks is the availability of key electrical components -- such as transformers, switchgear, and batteries -- that are used both at data center sites and outside of them," reports Tom's Hardware. "Meanwhile, grid infrastructure is also stressed by electric vehicles and electrified heating systems." Tom's Hardware reports: Approximately 12 gigawatts (12 GW) of data center capacity is expected to come online in the U.S. in 2026, according to data by market intelligence firm Sightline Climate cited by Bloomberg. Yet only about one-third of that capacity is currently under active construction because of various constraints. Electrical infrastructure represents less than 10% of total data center cost, but it is as vital as compute hardware. A delay in any single element of the power chain can halt the entire project, which makes transformers, switchgear, and similar devices critical items despite their relatively small share of CapEx. Due to high demand, lead times for high-power transformers have expanded dramatically in the U.S.: delivery typically took 24 to 30 months before 2020, but waiting periods can stretch to as long as five years today, according to Sightline Climate cited by Bloomberg. For AI data centers, this is a catastrophe as their deployment cycles are under 18 months. To address shortages, companies are turning to global markets. As a result, Canada, Mexico, and South Korea became the biggest suppliers of high-power transformers for AI data centers to AI data centers. At the same time, imports of high-power transformers from China surged from fewer than 1,500 units in 2022 to more than 8,000 units in 2025 through October, according to Wood Mackenzie data cited by Bloomberg. The volatility of exports from China does not end with transformers, as the PRC accounts for over 40% of U.S. battery imports, while its share in certain transformer and switchgear categories remains near 30%, according to Bloomberg.

CachyOS Delivers More Performance Out Of Intel Panther Lake

3 avril 2026 à 15:00
Most of my Intel Panther Lake benchmarking over the past two months for the new Core Ultra Series 3 hardware has been done with Ubuntu Linux given the pervasiveness of it, especially in the corporate/enterprise space. But for those looking at achieving even greater out-of-the-box Linux performance on Intel Panther Lake, the Arch Linux based CachyOS does a pretty fine job at further advancing the performance.

Perplexity's 'Incognito Mode' Is a 'Sham,' Lawsuit Says

Par : BeauHD
3 avril 2026 à 15:00
An anonymous reader quotes a report from Ars Technica: Perplexity's AI search engine encourages users to go deeper with their prompts by engaging in chat sessions that a lawsuit has alleged are often shared in their entirety with Google and Meta without users' knowledge or consent. "This happened to every user regardless of whether or not they signed up for a Perplexity account," the lawsuit alleged, while stressing that "enormous volumes of sensitive information from both subscribed and non-subscribed users" are shared. Using developer tools, the lawsuit found that opening prompts are always shared, as are any follow-up questions the search engine asks that a user clicks on. Privacy concerns are seemingly worse for non-subscribed users, the complaint alleged. Their initial prompts are shared with "a URL through which the entire conversation may be accessed by third parties like Meta and Google." Disturbingly, the lawsuit alleged, chats are also shared with personally identifiable information (PII), even when users who want to stay anonymous opt to use Perplexity's "Incognito Mode." That mode, the lawsuit charged, is a "sham." "'Incognito' mode does nothing to protect users from having their conversations shared with Meta and Google," the complaint said. "Even paid users who turned on the 'Incognito' feature still had their conversations shared with Meta and Google, along with their email addresses and other identifiers that allowed Meta and Google to personally identify them." "Perplexity's failure to inform its users that their personal information has been disclosed to Meta and Google or to take any steps to halt the continued disclosure of users' information is malicious, oppressive, and in reckless disregard" of users' rights, the lawsuit alleged. "Nothing on Perplexity's website warns users that their conversations with its AI Machine will be shared with Meta and Google," Doe alleged. "Much less does Perplexity warn subscribed users that its 'Incognito Mode' does not function to protect users' private conversations from disclosure to companies like Meta and Google."

Au CNRS, un chiffrement « inviolable » à base d’ADN

3 avril 2026 à 14:08

Au CNRS, un chiffrement « inviolable » à base d’ADN

L’ADN peut générer de longues chaines de données aléatoires, ce qui est parfait pour créer de grands masques jetables pour chiffrer des données, avec une protection « inviolable ». Le CNRS présente ses travaux, qui mélangent ADN et chiffre de Vernam.

Dans un précédent article, nous étions revenus sur les méthodes de chiffrement en informatique des dernières décennies. Nous avons également analysé la menace quantique ainsi que le chiffrement hybride qui mélange les deux mondes. Au milieu de tout cela, il existe depuis plus de 100 ans un algorithme de chiffrement inviolable : le masque jetable ou chiffre de Vernam.

Juste des permutations… mais sur chaque caractère

Le principe de base est simple : il s’agit ni plus ni moins d’une permutation de l’alphabet, mais avec une clé aussi longue que le message à chiffrer. Il faut par contre respecter une condition : la clé (ou masque) ne doit être utilisé qu’une seule fois et elle doit être totalement aléatoire (et ce n’est pas si facile de faire du 100 % aléatoire).

Avec une clé de la taille du message et une rotation aléatoire de l’alphabet à chaque lettre, un message de 10 caractères pourrait être transformé en n’importe quel mot (ou groupe de mots) de 10 caractères, sans savoir lequel est le bon.

Imaginez avec un message chiffré plus court, par exemple ABC, il pourrait aussi bien s’agir de OUI, que NON, DIX, TES, ZUT… sans pouvoir trouver le message en clair si vous n’avez pas la bonne clé. On parle de sécurité inconditionnelle, « c’est-à-dire indépendante de la puissance de calcul d’un adversaire », et on peut le prouver dans le cas présent.

Avec l’ADN, de très grandes clés aléatoires

Le problème du chiffre de Vernam est double : d’abord, générer des clés de très grandes tailles et aléatoires, puis échanger physiquement les clés. Dans le premier cas, le CNRS propose une solution : l’ADN : « Chaque molécule d’ADN est composée de quatre bases chimiques (A, T, C et G), et les chimistes sont capables de synthétiser commercialement de longues chaines dont l’ordre des bases est statistiquement aléatoire. Ces séquences d’ADN peuvent ensuite être copiées à l’identique, à l’aide de processus enzymatiques, et ainsi partagées entre un expéditeur et un destinataire ».

L’ADN coche toutes les cases avec une densité de stockage et une stabilité remarquables  : « correctement conservé, le polymère peut rester intact pendant des milliers d’années et il suffit de quelques milligrammes pour stocker des exaoctets d‘information binaire, soit l’équivalent d’un million de disques durs ». Stocker autant de données dans aussi peu de place avec un autre système c’est actuellement… compliqué.

Des candidats parfaits pour les masques, mais il faut toujours les échanger sans la moindre interception, sinon toute la sécurité s’effondre si une tierce partie récupère une copie des clés. L’avantage de l’ADN c’est qu’il ne prend pas beaucoup de place et qu’il est facile à transporter.

Pour le CNRS, les principales perspectives se trouvent dans « la protection des communications les plus sensibles, qu’il s’agisse d’échanges diplomatiques, militaires ou scientifiques ». Dans un second temps, cette technique « pourrait également trouver des applications dans des contextes extrêmes, notamment les communications spatiales ou les infrastructures numériques critiques où la fiabilité et l’inviolabilité des échanges constituent des enjeux majeurs ».
