Everyone knows that stereotype of sleepyheads reaching for their bedside alarm clocks and simply pushing a button to turn them off. Even with smartphones, people approach alarm clock apps with that same detached and mechanical behavior. Of course, these clocks are just tools, but the way we interact with them in a way reflects our subconscious attitude toward time and waking up each day. Rather than simply letting time pass us by without our involvement, this minimalist and fun design turns the passive tool into something interactive, turning a routine action into something almost like a game.

Designers: Adrian Wright, Jeremy Wright (DesignWright)

We can sometimes feel like slaves to our clocks, moving according to pre-set schedules and called by the beeping or ringing of alarms. Smartphone apps made that situation simpler but also made us feel less in control. It’s only too easy to set up an alarm, sometimes even without our explicit action, and it’s just as easy to get lost in dozens of alarms and notifications. Having a physical alarm clock, especially by your bedside, helps us distance ourselves from the complexity of apps and digital experiences, and the Flip alarm clock adds a joyful twist to the way you interact with the object.

As its name suggests, you flip the alarm clock to determine how it behaves. One side is labeled “on” and it means what it says, that the alarm is enabled and active. Flip it over, however, and you’re greeted with the word “off” to indicate that the alarm is now disabled. Whichever way you turn it, the LCD display flips to show the time right side up, making it a reversible design as well.

This design that eschews physical buttons for kinetic controls adds an element of direct interaction with the object. You’re no longer dragged around by the alarms you set and become a willing actor in the scenario that plays before you. It can become an addictive action, one that kids will love, and it could even get you up and out of bed with less begrudging effort. Best of all, the Flip alarm clock looks just as fun and attractive on your desk or bedside table, adding a pinch of joy to your life.

Space, with its vastness and complexity, has always captivated the human imagination. Our solar system, a celestial ballet of planets and stars, has inspired various aspects of human life and design, from ancient sundials to modern-day innovations. The COSMOOVAL lamp series is a testament to this inspiration, drawing on the phenomenal interconnectivity of our solar system to create a collection of lamps that not only illuminate spaces but also tell a cosmic story.

Designer: LFD Official – Seohyun Nam, Nam Woo Kim, Doyoon Kim

The designers of Cosmooval drew inspiration from the celestial bodies in our solar system, considering the way they influence our planet and the intricate dance of light and shadow they create. The lamp series incorporates key elements such as expandability, limitation, transparency, and immateriality to bring the essence of space into our living environments.

The design process began with the creation of a mood board, reflecting the tension and spatial dynamics of the universe. Simple basic figures, inspired by solar and lunar eclipses, shooting stars, and planetary movements, were arranged to evoke the mood of the cosmos. A clay mockup emphasized stability through the use of circles and triangles, laying the foundation for the lamp series’ structural elements.

Several idea sketches were explored, with the initial focus on a triangular structure within three circles. As the design evolved, proportions, details, and interactions were refined in subsequent sketches. The final design selected a form that considered materials, structure, and user interaction, resulting in three distinct types of lamps within the Cosmooval series.

Each lamp in the series offers a unique interaction with light, adding to the overall cosmic experience. The ceiling lamp, representing expandability, spreads light by adjusting the angle of an oval disk. The table lamp, embodying limitation, controls light brightness through the movement of a red sphere, mimicking the motion of a shooting star. The floor lamp, combining transparency and immateriality, simulates orbiting planets and solar eclipses, changing light intensity as the red sphere is manipulated.

Cosmooval, derived from the fusion of “Cosmo” (space) and “Oval” (ellipse), is more than just a lighting solution; it is an artistic representation of the cosmos. The series serves as a visual metaphor for planets, satellites, and shooting stars, moving in harmony with their orbits.

The ceiling lamp symbolizes the expansiveness of space, spreading light with three ovals arranged in a stable manner. By pulling the red sphere attached to a string, users can open and close the ovals, controlling the brightness and essential light in their space.

In the table lamp, a triangular structure controls the concentrated light source. Moving the red sphere along a diagonal line mimics the motion of a shooting star, allowing users to experience the fleeting brightness associated with celestial phenomena.

The floor lamp embodies transparency and immateriality, recreating the orbits of planets and solar eclipses. Pushing the red sphere sideways changes the shape and intensity of light, providing a dynamic representation of the passage of time and celestial revolutions.

The Cosmooval lamp series transcends conventional lighting, offering users an immersive experience that connects them to the wonders of our solar system. Through innovative design and thoughtful interaction, these lamps bring the cosmos into our living spaces, reminding us of the beauty and complexity of the universe that surrounds us.

Nous allons vous montrer comment ajouter un message d’ouverture de session Windows.
Mais pourquoi ajouter un message d’ouverture de session ?
Souvent pour afficher des clauses de responsabilité ou non-responsabilité, ajouter des informations importantes ou bien même avertir les usages de certains changements.

Il y a deux manières de faire cet ajout :

1. Par la modification de la Stratégie de groupe (GPO).
2. Par la modification des clés de registre.

Par la modification de la Stratégie de groupe (GPO)

À mon avis, la meilleure manière de procéder dans un cadre d’entreprise, car cette modification peut-être faite depuis l’active directory (Windows Server). Cela n’empêche pas que vous puissiez faire la modification depuis les postes (Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 10, Windows 11)

1. Rendez-vous dans les GPOs en tapant gpedit.msc depuis l’exécution Windows ou tapez en toutes lettres “éditeur de stratégie de groupe locale” depuis le menu démarrer. Pour les configurations serveur de domaine, cela se passera depuis votre gestion des stratégies de groupe.

   

2. Parcourez les paramètres de stratégie : Configuration ordinateur > Paramètres Windows > Paramètres de sécurité > Stratégies locales > Options de sécurité.

   

3. Rechercher ces deux paramètres :
   Ouverture de session interactive : titre du message pour les utilisateurs essayant de se connecter.
   Ouverture de session interactive : contenu du message pour les utilisateurs essayant de se connecter.
4. Modifier le paramètre de titre du message pour modifier l’entête, par exemple :

   

5. Modifier le paramètre contenu du message, par exemple :

   

6. Appliquer vos modifications en faisant un “gpupdate /force” sur l’ordinateur en question puis un redémarrage.

   

   
   
   

Par la modification des clés de registre

1. Rendez-vous dans l’Éditeur de registre en tapant regedit depuis l’exécution Windows où taper en toutes lettres “éditeur du registre” depuis le menu démarrer.

   

2. Parcourez l’éditeur de registre : Ordinateur\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System. Depuis le volet droit, vous trouverez les chaînes legalnoticecaption (titre) et legalnoticetext (contenu du message) :

   

   

3. Fermez et redémarrez votre poste.

   

Bravo : Vous avez réussi ! Vous serez désormais capable d’ajouter un message d’ouverture de session.
