Star Citizen : plus d’un milliard de dollars pour des draps froissés, mais une technique déplorable

Le 24 mai dernier, le financement participatif de Star Citizen a dépassé le milliard de dollars. D’après les chiffres officiels, cette performance est l’effort conjoint de plus de 6,5 millions de personnes – même si certains ont un peu plus contribué que d’autres. Si la machine à fric marche aussi bien, c’est parce que le projet en fait rêver plus d’un, pour le plus grand bonheur du portefeuille de Saint Chris Roberts. Sûrement lui aussi un doux rêveur et un sacré brise-burnes pour ses équipes de dev, il est certainement le principal responsable d’un état de fait indéniable : Star Citizen ne sera sans doute jamais terminé. Entre les promesses irréalisables en l’état de l’art, les changements de direction soudains et les idées à la con, on n’est pas spécialement étonnés que le projet ait l’air de stagner. Pour autant, il n’a jamais été aussi populaire.

Si à la rédac, on reste assez moqueurs, quelques membres de la communauté prennent le sujet un peu plus au sérieux. L’un d’entre eux, Shamanix, nous précise d’ailleurs que cet exploit est en partie dû au modèle économique particulièrement prédateur mis en place par Cloud Imperium Games. Ils jouent avec l’exclusivité de certains vaisseaux sur des périodes précises et des séries limitées réservées aux joueurs ayant déjà dépensé plusieurs milliers de dollars. On peut notamment citer l’exemple de l’Anvil Odin, mis en vente lors de l’Invictus Launch Week 2956 il y a quelques jours. Annoncé par le studio comme le tout dernier vendu en phase de concept (donc probablement pas jouable avant trois ou quatre ans), il est facturé pas moins de 5 000 dollars, mais disponible en nombre limité et soumis à validation sur lettre de motivation. Évidemment, il ne s’adresse pas à n’importe qui, mais plutôt à des chefs de guilde puisqu’il peut embarquer jusqu’à 65 membres d’équipage, mais 33 au minimum (si on a bien compris). On imagine bien les communautés se cotiser pour avoir le privilège de crâner avec leur JPEG imprimé en A4 lors d’un Bar Citizen.

Star Citizen - Anvil Odin

On en profite pour aussi parler de l’évolution du « jeu » : il est passé en alpha 4.8 récemment, et aurait ajouté des missions plus ou moins scénarisées avec des PNJ à pied toujours aussi cons. Parce que chez NoFrag, nous sommes des journalistes totaux, on a même pris le temps d’aller voir in situ pour constater l’évolution. Après une demi-heure pour s’extraire de la gravité de la planète, ne jamais réussir à contacter une station spatiale pour y atterrir, galérer pour retrouver les objectifs de missions invisibles sur la map, et une visite dans un lieu complètement désert autrefois fortement peuplé, le tout à 40 FPS avec une RTX 4090, on s’est dit qu’on allait encore attendre un peu pour notre reportage.

Mais si vous aimez perdre deux heures parce que vous êtes tombés à travers un ascenseur, sachez que Star Citizen est disponible à partir de 25 €.

Merci à Shamanix pour l’info et les détails.

Nvidia To Spend $150 Billion a Year In Taiwan

27 mai 2026 à 22:00
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang says the company plans to spend around $150 billion a year in Taiwan, calling it the "epicenter of the AI revolution." "Four years ago, five years ago, Nvidia was spending about $10, $15 billion dollars a year in Taiwan. Now we're spending $100, going to $150 billion dollars in Taiwan each year," Huang said. Reuters reports: Huang was speaking at a launch celebration in Taipei for the chip company's planned Taiwan headquarters, which he said will break ground this year and aims to become operational in 2030. He did not provide a timeframe for the number of years the company plans to invest $150 billion. The Taiwan headquarters will bring Nvidia closer to TSMC, the world's largest contract chipmaker which makes many of the advanced semiconductors powering the trend towards AI and is a major supplier to the U.S. tech company. "Taiwan is booming," Huang said on stage at the celebration which was attended by his parents, wife, daughter and son in addition to around 1,000 employees. "Taiwan is the epicentre of the AI revolution. This is where the chips come, packaging comes, this is where the systems are made, this is where AI supercomputers were created. The number of partners we work with here in Taiwan, incredible."

Dropbox CEO Drew Houston To Step Down After 19 Years

Par : BeauHD
27 mai 2026 à 16:00
Dropbox founder Drew Houston is stepping down as CEO after 19 years and will become executive chairman, with product chief Ashraf Alkarmi set to take over after a co-CEO transition period. CNBC reports: Drew Houston founded Dropbox nearly two decades ago at age 24, eventually becoming a household name in Silicon Valley and the first tech entrepreneur to take a company from the Y Combinator incubator program all the way to the public market. Now, at 43, Houston is ready to do something else. [...] By almost any measure, Houston has had a great run at Dropbox, helping pioneer the cloud storage market, competing head-to-head with Google and Apple and building a net worth of more than $2 billion, thanks to substantial ownership in his company. But in the land of outsized expectations, Houston has overseen a company that peaked too soon and never became a generation-defining brand. Dropbox's current market cap of just over $6 billion is down by half from the high price on its first day of trading in 2018, and is below the $10 billion valuation it was ascribed by private market investors in 2014. [...] In its latest quarterly earnings report, Dropbox said it has more than 18 million paying users, and the service remains popular with media professionals, graphic designers, architects, and others who share files and photos as part of their daily work. "Part of me has always thought, oh yeah, I'll be the CEO of Dropbox until my last gasp of my career," he said. "There's never a perfect time, there was no part of me where I was like, 'oh, this date is the date where it's going to happen.'" Since Alkarmi joined Dropbox from Vimeo in late 2024, the company has "become a lot more responsive to our customers and is taking bigger swings on innovation," Houston said. "I trust the right leader," he said. "The company's in the right place."

Samsung Chip Workers To Get $340,000 Average Bonus In AI Boom

Par : BeauHD
22 mai 2026 à 16:00
Samsung is reportedly set to pay chip-division workers an average bonus of about $340,000 after reaching a tentative deal with its union, according to Bloomberg (paywalled). The deal ended a standoff that "could have cost the economy as much as 1 trillion won ($658 million) daily, with losses potentially multiplying to 100 trillion won ($68 billion) if in-progress semiconductor wafers were rendered unusable," reports Quartz. From the report: The agreement, subject to a union ratification vote running May 22 through May 27, calls for Samsung to direct 10.5% of operating profit into stock bonuses along with a separate 1.5% cash component, according to Bloomberg. The program runs for 10 years, contingent on the company meeting profit thresholds. One-third of the stock award can be liquidated right away, with the rest parceled out in installments across the next two years, Bloomberg reported. The first payout is expected in early 2027. Not all workers will fare equally. As an illustration, Reuters cited a union source estimating that someone in the memory chip unit earning an 80-million-won base salary could take home roughly 626 million won in total bonuses this year. By comparison, workers at SK Hynix stand to collect upward of 700 million won should their employer post annual profit of 250 trillion won, Reuters calculated. Unlike at Samsung, SK Hynix employees are not limited to stock payouts and may instead opt for cash, Reuters reported.

SpaceX Reveals Its Finances For the First Time

SpaceX has revealed its financials for the first time as it prepares for a potentially massive IPO. The New York Times reports: SpaceX's revenue soared to $18.7 billion in 2025, up 33 percent from a year earlier, the company disclosed in a filing required of firms that are seeking to go public. In the first three months of this year, revenue rose to $4.7 billion from $4.1 billion in the same period a year ago. But the company lost more than $4.9 billion last year, compared with a $791 million profit in 2024, as capital expenditures nearly doubled to $20.7 billion from heavy spending on artificial intelligence development. In the first three months of this year, SpaceX lost almost as much money as all of 2025, recording a $4.3 billion loss.

Intuit To Lay Off Over 3,000 Employees To Refocus On AI

Par : BeauHD
20 mai 2026 à 23:00
Intuit is reportedly cutting about 3,000 jobs, or 17% of its workforce, as it restructures around AI and simplifies its corporate organization. TechCrunch reports: The layoffs come during a bad year for the tech workforce. The tech industry has already cut more than 100,000 jobs this year, per Statista, and is on track to outpace both 2024 and 2025 if the layoff trend continues. Companies such as Amazon, Block, Cisco, Cloudflare, Meta, Microsoft, and Oracle have let go of thousands of employees each, all of them citing a need to refocus expenditures around AI projects as a reason to cut jobs and restructure their organizations. [...] Intuit, however, hasn't been perceived as a beneficiary of the AI boom, with its shares consistently underperforming in the broader S&P 500 over the past 12 months. The company has been caught up in the broader current of worries that traditional software-as-a-service firms will not be able to keep up or compete, as new and upcoming AI products and services threaten to change how software is developed and how it is used. In its fiscal second quarter ended January, Intuit reported revenue of $4.65 billion, a 17% increase, and net profit of $693 million, a 48% improvement compared to a year earlier. The company expects revenue to increase by about 10% in the third quarter, for which it will report results later today.

NextEra and Dominion's $67 Billion Mega-Merger Is All About the Data Centers

Par : BeauHD
19 mai 2026 à 21:00
An anonymous reader quotes a report from Inside Climate News: A proposed merger of the largest utility in the country by market value, NextEra Energy, with the sixth-largest, Dominion, would create a megacompany at a time when data centers and rapid increases in electricity demand are reshaping the industry. The proposal, announced Monday morning and contingent on state and federal regulatory approval, would result in a company that leads in nearly every aspect of the US power and utility industry, including overall electricity generation, natural gas generation, and renewables. The $67 billion deal combines NextEra's size and reach with Dominion's positioning as the local utility for the world's largest concentration of data centers in northern Virginia. But the results are likely bad for consumers and the environment, creating a company with enormous financial and political strength that will be difficult to effectively regulate, according to consumer advocates and analysts. For perspective, only Exxon Mobil and Chevron would be larger based on market value among US-based energy companies. "Mergers are not about consumers; they're about shareholders," said Ari Peskoe, director of the Electricity Law Initiative at Harvard Law School. "For the Dominion shareholders, they are selling their shares at a premium. The executives are getting massive payouts for facilitating this, assuming it all goes through, and obviously NextEra believes the transaction is going to add value to the company. Ratepayers are all an afterthought." The deal makes financial sense for both companies, said Andrew Bischof, an equity analyst for Morningstar. "We view the transaction as allowing NextEra to accelerate its data center ambitions, which had trailed those of its regulated peers, by using Dominion's expertise and relationships to expedite NextEra's data center hub plans," he said in a note to clients. NextEra, based in Juno Beach, Florida, includes Florida Power & Light, the largest regulated electricity utility in the state, and NextEra Energy Resources, a wholesale electricity supplier that owns power plants across the nation. Dominion, based in Richmond, Virginia, includes regulated utilities serving much of Virginia, parts of North Carolina and South Carolina, and other assets across the country. The company would be called NextEra Energy, and NextEra CEO John W. Ketchum would serve in the same role after the deal closes. Robert M. Blue, Dominion's CEO, would be the CEO for regulated utilities for the merged company. The parties said they expect regulatory approvals to take 12 to 18 months. NextEra shareholders would own 74.5 percent and Dominion shareholders would own 25.5 percent, respectively, of the combined company in the all-stock transaction. "We are bringing NextEra Energy and Dominion Energy together because scale matters more than ever -- not for the sake of size, but because scale translates into capital and operating efficiencies," Ketchum said in a statement. Although the companies claim the deal would produce savings, including $2.25 billion in Dominion customer bill credits, former regulator Marissa Paslick Gillett said she was "flabbergasted by the tone deafness," arguing that major utility mergers rarely deliver the promised "synergies" and often create "a behemoth" that is harder to regulate. Others warned that a larger NextEra could use its political power "to the disadvantage of ratepayers," while climate advocates said expanding methane gas plants to serve data centers would worsen pollution and leave vulnerable communities "at the short end of the stick."

OpenAI Co-Founder Andrej Karpathy Joins Anthropic

19 mai 2026 à 20:00
OpenAI co-founder Andrej Karpathy has joined rival AI lab Anthropic. "The hire is a major coup for Anthropic in the high-stakes competition for elite AI talent -- and another sign the company is emerging as a magnet for some of the industry's most respected technical minds," reports Axios. From the report: Karpathy will start this week on Anthropic's pre-training team, which is responsible for the massive training runs that give Claude its core knowledge and capabilities, according to Anthropic. Karpathy will help launch a new team focused on using Claude itself to accelerate pretraining research -- an increasingly important frontier as AI companies race to automate parts of AI development. "I think the next few years at the frontier of LLMs will be especially formative. I am very excited to join the team here and get back to R&D," Karpathy said in a post on X. Karpathy is a rare AI figure with credibility across research, industry and education. He was a founding member of OpenAI before serving as Tesla's director of AI, where he led the computer vision team behind Autopilot. Karpathy coined the term "vibe coding" and recently described himself as being in a "state of AI psychosis" since December -- embracing "tokenmaxxing" and aggressively stress-testing frontier models.

StanChart To Cut Over 7,000 Jobs, Boost AI To Replace 'Lower-Value Human Capital'

Par : BeauHD
19 mai 2026 à 19:00
The London-headquartered lender Standard Chartered announced plans to cut more than 7,000 jobs by 2030, with CEO Bill Winters saying the bank will replace some "lower-value human capital" through automation and AI while offering retraining to affected workers. "It's not cost-cutting. It's replacing in some cases lower-value human capital with the financial capital and the investment capital we're putting in," CEO Bill Winters told reporters. "So, the people that want to reskill, that want to carry on, we're giving every opportunity to reposition," Winters said. Reuters reports: The cuts, alongside higher shareholder return targets announced in a strategy update, come as StanChart is at the tail-end of a decade-long effort to transform itself from a potential takeover target to a steadily profitable lender. Its London-listed shares, which have risen 65% in the last 12 months, fell 0.5% in early trading, as analysts said the new targets were at the conservative end of their expectations. "In a world full of uncertainty, performance may prove more challenging further out," said Ed Firth, analyst at Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, citing how the bank has benefited in recent years from high interest rates and huge wealth flows. StanChart's move to streamline operations and rein in costs comes as more global firms slash jobs by deploying AI to improve efficiency. Japanese lender Mizuho in March unveiled up to 5,000 job cuts over a decade. And banks globally are scrambling to integrate frontier AI models and fend off rising cyber threats. The most affected roles will be in the bank's back-office centres, including those in Chennai, Bengaluru, Kuala Lumpur and Warsaw, according to Winters. "Of course we're using AI along the way and AI will be a huge facilitator and enabler of that," he added, referring to its ongoing revamp to automate more of its core banking system. StanChart said it would deliver over 15% return on tangible equity in 2028, more than three percentage points higher than in 2025, and building to about 18% in 2030. Meta also announced plans to reassign 7,000 employees into AI-related initiatives, just ahead of layoffs expected to affect roughly 8,000 workers.

Before Mass Layoffs, Meta Reassigns 7,000 Workers To Focus On AI

Par : BeauHD
19 mai 2026 à 15:00
An anonymous reader quotes a report from the New York Times: Meta told employees on Monday that it was reassigning 7,000 workers to focus on new initiatives around artificial intelligence, the latest change in a company transformation spurred by the powerful technology. Employees will be moved to four new organizations focused on building new A.I. tools and apps, Janelle Gale, Meta's head of human resources, said in an internal memo. The organizations will use "A.I. native design structures" and have fewer managers per employee than other parts of the company, she said, adding that company leaders will send details about the new roles on Wednesday. The restructuring "will make us more productive and make the work more rewarding," Ms. Gale wrote. Meta declined to comment further on the changes. The move comes shortly before Meta begins laying off roughly 8,000 employees, or 10 percent of its work force. Ms. Gale also mentioned Wednesday's layoffs in her memo. "We know days like this are extremely hard, and we appreciate you showing up for each other," Ms. Gale said. According to the NYT, employees have been asked to work remotely that day and emails about the layoffs would be sent at 4 a.m. local time. Employees in the United States will receive 16 weeks of severance pay, along with two extra weeks for every year they worked at Meta.

Taxe petit colis, un bilan ridicule de 2.3 millions d’euros

18 mai 2026 à 13:42

La taxe sur les petits colis a été lancée en mars dernier en France. Une mesure destinée à empêcher les grandes plateformes comme Temu, Shein ou AliExpress de trop concurrencer les marques françaises tout en ramenant des sous dans les caisses de l’État.

Cette fameuse taxe sur les petits colis qui ne concerne que les achats de faible valeur, moins de 150€, n’aura pas eu les effets escomptés. Quelques jours seulement après sa mise en place, ce sont les gestionnaires des zones de Fret des aéroports qui se pendaient à l’alarme pour signaler la disparition de leur activité. Et pour cause, il n’aura fallu que quelques jours pour que les avions en partance vers la France pour y être dédouanés se retrouvent orientés vers la Pologne, l’Espagne, la Belgique et ailleurs en Europe. Les marchandises débarquant en dehors de nos frontières mais en Europe y étant alors déballées avant d’être injectées dans un réseau de livraison français Sautant au passage toute taxation « petit colis » voulue par le gouvernement

Résultat des courses ? Le Figaro publie le chiffre relevé par les douanes françaises. Des 400 millions d’euros de taxes espérés à l’année, le gouvernement n’en aura récupéré que 2.9 millions. 30 fois moins qu’espéré.

La taxe petit colis a réorienté le Fret vers des pays limitrophes

Le nombre de colis dédouanés en France est passé en quelques jours d’un demi-million à moins de 50 000… Les géants de l’industrie comme Shein, Temu ou AliExpress ont simplement donné une nouvelle feuille de route pour leurs avions afin qu’ils atterrissent à la bordure du pays. Traversant ensuite librement et sans taxe notre frontière.

Les 2.9 millions n’ont finalement touché que les plus petites structures, celles qui ne peuvent pas louer un énorme entrepôt d’un coup de fil ou qui ne disposent pas d’un chiffre d’affaires suffisant pour retrouver du trafic aérien. En clair, les petites PME françaises qui commandent du matériel en Asie pour alimenter leurs stocks ont dû payer 2€ par type de produit commandé. Ce qui a poussé nombre d’entre eux à choisir de passer par… les plateformes visées par cette taxe. Quand un patron de PME française reçoit une facture de commande de produits électroniques avec des centaines de références et des dizaines de types de produits différents, chacun taxé à 2€, il ne réfléchit pas longtemps avant de changer de fournisseur.

Quant aux particuliers, ceux qui commandent des vêtements ou du matériel électronique, il devient encore plus avantageux pour eux de passer par une plateforme géante. L’exemple le plus frappant est ce père de famille qui, pour marier son fils, achète un costume complet en ligne à 149€ sans comprendre que c’est du Dropshipping et qui se voit taxer à plusieurs reprises de 2€. Pantalon, veste, gilet, chemise et même, 2€ de plus sur la cravate offerte en cadeau par le fabricant. Au total, 149€ de marchandise, 10€ de taxe. s’il avait ajouté une pochette pour sa veste, il ne l’aurait pas payée, me confiait-il.

Pas de changement en vue pour la taxe petit colis française

Alors que les zones de Fret prennent la poussière et que les effets anticipés ne sont pas au rendez-vous, le gouvernement ne semble pas vouloir changer de méthode. La taxe petit colis restera active le temps d’une harmonisation européenne. En juillet, la zone économique prévoit une taxe de 3€ par type d’article sur toute la zone. Avec une vision très spécifique du type d’article.

D’après Reuters, la définition du type de produit se base sur la nomenclature douanière qui est très, très spécifique. L’exemple donné est édifiant. 10 paires de chaussettes du même type donneraient une taxe de 3€. Mais un ensemble comprenant 5 paires en laine et 5 paires en coton serait taxé deux fois. Car leurs codes d’identification douanière ne correspondent pas. Ce qui ajouterait 6 € à l’ensemble. En novembre, il est prévu d’ajouter en plus 2€ supplémentaires par colis sur ce montant par type de produit. Cela fera donc 8€ au total pour vos 10 paires de chaussettes en importation. On se demande si la taxe ira jusqu’à différencier le type de résistances ou de condensateur d’une commande en électronique…

Lorsque vous achèterez un kit pour faire un montage électronique avec variateur, résistance, condensateur, servo, PCB, connecteurs, microcontrôleur et alimentation, vous aurez déjà 8 x 3 = 24€ de taxe petit colis sur votre commande. 3€ par type de produit. À moins que ? À moins que le fournisseur n’emballe cela sous forme de Kit sans détailler outre mesure le contenu exact du colis. Cela m’est déjà arrivé deux fois. Au lieu de recevoir des composants épars dans un emballage général avec une déclaration détaillée, j’ai reçu un ensemble « Kit matériel électronique » unique au prix de la totalité des composants. Je doute que les agents des douanes aient les ressources pour ouvrir chaque petit paquet. 

Il va devenir très intéressant de passer par des achats groupés pour importer certains types de matériels et ainsi dépasser les 150€ fatidiques qui font qu’une commande passe de « petit colis » « gros colis » et n’est plus taxé.

Edit : j’ai dû changer les illustrations de ce billet suite à la demande des ayants droit.

Cisco To Cut Almost 4,000 Jobs In AI-Driven Restructuring

Par : BeauHD
14 mai 2026 à 15:00
Cisco's stock soared 17% after the company announced it will cut nearly 4,000 jobs as it shifts investment and staffing toward higher-growth AI opportunities. CNBC reports: CEO Chuck Robbins wrote in a blog post on Wednesday that the latest round of job cuts will begin on May 14. Cisco is the latest company to announce head count reductions tied to AI. "The companies that will win in the AI era will be those with focus, urgency, and the discipline to continuously shift investment toward the areas where demand and long-term value creation are strongest," Robbins said. "I'm confident Cisco will be one of those winners. This means making hard decisions -- about where we invest, how we're organized, and how our cost structure reflects the opportunity in front of us." Cisco said in a filing that severance and other costs will result in pre-tax charges of $1 billion, and that the company will recognize about $450 million of that in the fiscal fourth quarter. During the third quarter, Cisco announced switches and routers that use its next-generation processor. The company also debuted a leaderboard for ranking generative AI models based on their robustness against cybersecurity attacks.

eBay Rejects GameStop's $56 Billion Takeover As 'Neither Credible Nor Attractive'

12 mai 2026 à 17:00
An anonymous reader quotes a report from Reuters: EBay on Tuesday rejected a $56 billion takeover bid from the much smaller GameStop over financing doubts, calling the proposal "neither credible nor attractive." EBay, which has roughly four times GameStop's market value, also underscored that its turnaround efforts under CEO Jamie Iannone have boosted growth, with its stock returning 201% since Iannone took the position six years ago. "We have concluded that your proposal is neither credible nor attractive," eBay Chairman Paul Pressler said in a statement. "eBay's Board is confident the company, under its current management team, is well-positioned to continue to drive sustainable growth." He also pointed to concerns with GameStop's bid, including its financing, its impact on eBay's long-term growth and the leadership structure of a potentially combined company. Last week, GameStop's CEO Ryan Cohen delivered one of the most memorable CNBC interviews in recent memory... initially disinterested, then increasingly hostile, with little eye contact, few real answers to basic questions, and repeated robotic deflections to "check the website." It's worth a watch if you have a few extra minutes.
