Black Mirror saison 7 : avez-vous vraiment compris la fin de l’épisode 1, Des gens ordinaires ?

La saison 7 de Black Mirror a enfin été dévoilée par Netflix, le 10 avril 2025. Dès son épisode d'introduction, Des gens ordinaires, la série de SF confirme qu'elle peut toujours nous glacer le sang, avec des récits coups de poing. Jusqu'à un final plutôt perturbant, qui nous laisse avec de nombreuses questions en suspens.

Black Mirror saison 7 : avez-vous vraiment compris la fin de l’épisode 6, sur l’USS Callister ?

Pour la première fois de son histoire, Black Mirror a décidé d'imaginer une suite à l'un de ses épisodes phares : celui consacré à l'USS Callister, dans la saison 4. L'équipage de ce fameux vaisseau intergalactique revient donc pour de nouvelles aventures dans la saison 7, avec une conclusion pour le moins... surprenante.

Tor Browser 14.5 released

Version 14.5 of the Tor Browser has been released. Notable features in this release include the addition of Connection Assist for the Android version of the Tor Browser, and language support for Belarusian, Bulgarian, and Portuguese for all versions of the browser.

Should Tor Browser fail to establish a direct connection to the Tor network, Connection Assist will offer to find and try bridges for you. But before this feature could be made available on Android, we had to embark on a multi-year effort to refactor our tor integration across each platform first. This project has now reached an important milestone, and we're proud to announce the release of Connection Assist for Android today.

See the full changelog for all changes in this release, and the issues page for known problems.

This component has often had performance problems, so there is continual interest in optimizing it. Shakeel Butt led a session during the memory-management track of the 2025 Linux Storage, Filesystem, Memory-Management, and BPF Summit to look at the current state of the memory controller and what can be done to reduce its overhead.
