28 mai 2025 à 09:07

Je me suis encore tapé une bonne petite insomnie cette nuit, donc je me suis levé pour bosser et je suis tombé tout à fait par hasard sur ce PDF qui présente la “Théorie de la stupidité” de Dietrich Bonhoeffer, complété par une analyse de Carlo Cipolla sur “les lois fondamentales de la stupidité humaine”.

Je ne connaissais pas ces 2 gars ni leurs écrits, mais franchement, tous les jours ou presque je vois l’ampleur de la catastrophe et ça fait grimper ma pression artérielle. Et comme je ne comprends pas bien ce phénomène et que je ne sais pas trop comment m’y prendre pour y faire face, ça a évidemment attiré mon attention et je voulais partager ça avec vous.

Hey, bonne nouvelle, Microsoft s’apprête à ajouter sa propre version du “Handoff” d’Apple à Windows 11, et je suis sûr que vous allez adorer, surtout si vous êtes du genre à jongler entre plusieurs appareils, genre un PC et un smartphone.

En effet, lors du récent Microsoft Build 2025 qu’Akash Varshney, Senior Product Manager de l’équipe Windows Cross-Devices and Experiences, a dévoilé ces nouvelles fonctionnalités qui vont enfin connecter nos appareils de façon intelligente. Et contrairement à ce qu’on pourrait croire, Microsoft ne se contente pas de copier Apple puisqu’ils poussent le concept encore plus loin.

Vous vous souvenez de Rosie, la bonne robotique ultra flippante des Jetson ? A l’époque, c’était un vrai fantasme !! Un robot domestique qui ferait la cuisine et qui passerait l’aspirateur pendant qu’on glande sur le canap’ ! Le rêve !

Eh bien, ce futur est en train de nous arriver en pleine gueule à vitesse grand V car d’après les spécialistes, dans moins de 5 ans, 25% des foyers américains aisés pourraient avoir un robot domestique chez eux.

NASA - Voyager 1 ressuscite ses propulseurs morts depuis 20 ans

47 ans !

C’est l’âge de Voyager 1, le plus lointain objet fabriqué par l’Homme, qui continue de fonctionner dans l’espace interstellaire des milliards de kilomètres de la Terre. Ce truc est plus vieux que moi ! C’est dire !

Mais quand les propulseurs de secours qui maintiennent sa précieuse antenne pointée vers nous ont commencé à montrer des signes de défaillance, les ingénieurs de la NASA ont tenté l’impensable : ressusciter des propulseurs déclarés morts depuis 20 ans. C’était un pari très risqué mais nécessaire s’ils voulaient que cette mission initiée en 1977 perdure.

Vous êtes vieux, je suis vieux et on a tous connu Internet à ses débuts. Mais on a tendance à oublier certains petits détails. Comme le son hypnotique du modem 56k qui tentait désespérément de se connecter pendant que vos parents hurlaient qu’ils attendaient un appel important. Ou ces magnifiques pages perso Geocities avec leurs fonds étoilés et leurs compteurs de visites.

C’est pourquoi aujourd’hui, je vous propose de vous rafraîchir la mémoire avec cette archive mise en ligne par Neal Agarwal qui présente une collection chronologique des “artefacts” qui ont marqué l’histoire d’Internet, depuis les premiers jours d’ARPANET jusqu’à la présentation de l’iPhone en 2007.

Polaroid and MoMA unite for a creative collaboration

Par : Ida Torres
28 mai 2025 à 10:07

The trend of having a fusion of analog and digital photographs doesn’t seem to be just a trend anymore as we’re seeing a lot of brands still thriving. There is a certain joy in having printed photos adorn your wallet, journal, or wall, no matter if you’re Gen X or a Millenial or Gen Alpha. It’s not just about memory keeping or photography sometimes as it’s also an expression of creativity when you use various other things to decorate it or you use it as actual decoration. We see brands also embrace the creative aspect that collectors get from tangible photographs and this latest collaboration between two giants of creativity is one that you have to watch out for.

This exciting new partnership sees Polaroid, a brand synonymous with instant photography, joining forces with the prestigious Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) to create a truly unique and collectible item. At the heart of this collaboration is a limited-edition iteration of the highly sought-after Polaroid Now Generation 3 Instant Camera. This special MoMA Edition stands out with its visually arresting monochrome blue finish, a sleek and modern aesthetic that perfectly complements the iconic MoMA logo, which is prominently displayed as a mark of this creative union.

Designer: Polaroid and MoMA

Adding a touch of personalization and style, the camera is accompanied by not just one, but three interchangeable neck straps. Each strap boasts a distinct color-blocking design, allowing users to switch them out to match their personal style or mood, making this camera as much a fashion statement as it is a tool for capturing memories. There is also a limited-edition i-Type Film MoMA Edition pack that has 8 of the 12 designed special frames. They are either marked with the MoMA logo or it has quotes from famous artists like An-My Lê, Betye Saar, Carmen Herrera, Meret Oppenheim, Milton Glaser, and Vincent van Gogh. This adds another layer of creativity and inspiration as the quotes from these groundbreaking artists can challenge new creatives to defy convention and tread their own path.

This exciting collaboration between Polaroid and MoMA beautifully illustrates the enduring appeal of tangible photography and the boundless power of artistic inspiration. By offering a unique camera and film adorned with iconic imagery and thought-provoking quotes, they’re providing a catalyst for creativity, encouraging individuals to capture their world through an artistic lens, one instant photograph at a time.

ASUS Dominates 2025 Red Dot Awards with 41 Wins Across Every Category That Matters

27 mai 2025 à 22:30

You know something extraordinary is happening when a single company wins 41 Red Dot Design Awards across five completely different categories in one year. ASUS didn’t just collect these awards like trading cards; they earned recognition from 43 international design experts for solving real problems across smartphones, laptops, displays, and even backpacks. The Zenfone 12 Ultra alone would have made headlines with its gimbal-stabilized camera that turns shaky vacation videos into smooth cinematic footage. But that’s just the beginning of this story. We’re talking about gaming phones that survive military testing while looking sophisticated enough for boardrooms, OLED monitors calibrated specifically for photographers who can’t afford color shifts, and mini PCs powerful enough to replace full towers yet small enough to hide behind your monitor. The real question isn’t how ASUS won so many awards, but rather how they managed to excel in categories where specialized companies usually dominate. How does the same company that makes RGB gaming keyboards also create color-accurate displays that professional photographers trust?

Designer: ASUS

Three Smartphones That Each Solve Different Problems

The smartphone wins perfectly demonstrate ASUS’s understanding that different users need fundamentally different devices. Take the Zenfone 12 Ultra, which tackles the universal problem of shaky photos and videos with actual hardware rather than just software tricks. Its 6-Axis Hybrid Gimbal Stabilizer 4.0 sounds like technical overkill until you see the results. Walking videos that normally resemble earthquake footage suddenly become smooth, tracking shots. Low-light photos that would require a tripod become possible handheld. The 50MP Sony Lytia 700 sensor benefits from this stability in ways that go beyond specs, paired with a 32MP telephoto offering 3x optical zoom and a 13MP ultrawide for versatility. ASUS wrapped this technology in a 220g body featuring 100% recycled aluminum and silky matte glass that actually resists fingerprints, addressing another daily annoyance we’ve all accepted as inevitable.

The ROG Phone 9 and ROG Phone 9 Pro approach mobile design from a completely different angle, prioritizing gaming performance without sacrificing daily usability. Both models feature IP68 water resistance, which you rarely see in gaming phones because manufacturers assume gamers baby their devices. The 185Hz E6 AMOLED display with 720Hz touch sampling delivers response times that competitive mobile gamers need, while 2500 nits peak brightness means you can see the screen outdoors. The Pro model goes further with up to 24GB of RAM and 1TB of storage, as mobile games are becoming increasingly large. What’s clever here is the integration of Dirac Virtuo spatial sound and Qualcomm aptX Lossless, recognizing that hearing enemy footsteps matters as much as seeing them. The 5800mAh battery with 65W charging keeps sessions going, while the customizable AniMe Vision display on the back adds personality without going full RGB circus.

Gaming Laptops That Don’t Scream “I Live in My Mom’s Basement”

The laptop category reveals that ASUS is solving a problem many professionals face: wanting gaming performance without looking like they’ve brought a spaceship to the office. The TUF Gaming A14 represents their first 14-inch gaming laptop, and at 1.46 kg, it fits in a standard laptop bag. Running AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 processors with RTX 4060 graphics, this machine delivers legitimate gaming performance through a 165Hz QHD+ (2560×1600) display that’s sharp enough for spreadsheets and fast enough for shooters. The military-grade durability means it survives daily commutes, addressing the reality that gaming laptops need to handle more than just desk duty.

The ROG FLOW Z13 takes versatility to extremes as a 2-in-1 gaming tablet that sounds impossible until you use it. The 13.4-inch 2560×1600 touchscreen runs at 180Hz, powered by AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395 processors with up to 128GB RAM. At $2,099, it’s not cheap, but it replaces multiple devices. Use it as a tablet for digital art, prop it up for gaming sessions, or connect an external GPU for desktop performance when needed. The form factor solves real problems for creators who game and gamers who create, eliminating the need to choose between specialized devices.

Meanwhile, the ROG Strix Scar 16 and 18 embrace traditional gaming laptop design but elevate it with ROG Nebula HDR Display technology. These machines pack Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX processors and up to RTX 5090 Laptop GPUs, delivering 2.5K resolution at 240Hz through Mini LED backlighting. The tool-less upgrade design acknowledges that gamers want to upgrade components over time, while up to 64GB DDR5 RAM ensures these laptops won’t become obsolete next year.

Consumer Laptops That Understand Consumer Needs

ASUS’s consumer laptop wins show they’re paying attention to how people use computers. The Vivobook 14 and 16 Flip models embrace the 2-in-1 concept with 360-degree hinges and OLED touchscreens, powered by Intel Core Ultra 7 processors. At 1.69cm thick and 1.5kg, these machines prove that convertibles don’t need to be chunky. The Vivobook Classic Series strips away gimmicks to focus on reliability and value, while the ASUS V16 provides 16-inch productivity without the bulk typically associated with larger screens.

ASUS Vivobook Pro 15

The Zenbook S 14 and S 16 represent ASUS’s premium ultrabook vision, featuring Intel Core Ultra processors with Copilot+ PC capabilities. These machines balance performance with portability, using premium materials and finishes that justify their positioning. But the real standout is the Zenbook A14, which earned recognition as the world’s lightest 14-inch Copilot+ PC at just 2.18 pounds. Powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon X processors, it delivers up to 32 hours of battery life thanks to ARM efficiency. The 14-inch OLED display (1920×1200) with 100% DCI-P3 coverage provides color accuracy typically reserved for much more expensive machines, while the Ceraluminum construction creates a premium feel in the $899-$1,099 range.

Business Laptops Built for Real Business Use

The commercial wins reveal ASUS’s understanding of what IT departments and business users need. The ExpertBook P5 represents their flagship business machine, powered by Intel Core Ultra processors (Series 2) with up to 120 total platform TOPS of AI performance. Weighing just 1.29 kg, it packs a 2.5K 144Hz anti-glare display and offers up to 28 hours of battery life. The inclusion of ASUS AI ExpertMeet provides intelligent noise cancellation and real-time transcription with on-device processing, addressing privacy concerns while adding genuine utility for remote workers.

The ExpertBook B3 takes a different approach with its 16-inch display and connectivity focus. At 1.78kg, it includes features business users request: optional 5G LTE, Wi-Fi 6E, dual Thunderbolt 4 ports, and smart card readers. The 85% screen-to-body ratio maximizes working space, while MIL-STD-810H durability testing ensures it survives the reality of business travel and daily office use.

All-in-Ones and Desktops for Different Tribes

The desktop category spans from space-saving all-in-ones to gaming powerhouses. The AiO VM6 Series and ExpertCenter AiO P4 series represent ASUS’s approach to integrated computing, ideal for reception areas, home offices, or anywhere cable management is a concern. These systems prove that all-in-ones don’t need to compromise on performance or upgradeability.

Gaming desktops are split between the TUF Gaming T5 series, which emphasizes durability and value, and the ROG G7 series, designed for enthusiasts who seek maximum performance with premium aesthetics. These systems recognize that not everyone wants to build their own PC, offering pre-configured options that cater to their target audiences.

The Mini PC Renaissance Nobody Expected

Perhaps the most interesting wins come from ASUS’s commitment to mini PCs, a category that most companies abandoned. The ExpertCenter PN54 packs an AMD Ryzen AI 7 350 processor with 45+ NPU TOPS in a 0.5L chassis, complete with six USB ports, dual 2.5G LAN, and Wi-Fi 7. This isn’t a streaming box; it’s a legitimate workstation that happens to fit in the palm of your hand.

The NUC 15 Pro and NUC 15 Pro+ take it a step further with Intel Core Ultra 7/9 processors (Series 2), up to 96GB of DDR5 RAM, and support for four 4K displays simultaneously. The tool-less upgradability means these systems can evolve with your needs, while thoughtful port selection eliminates the dongle mess that plagues other compact systems. What earned recognition was the thermal management that keeps these systems quiet under load, solving the jet engine problem that traditionally plagued small form factor PCs.

Displays That Serve Their Actual Users

ASUS’s monitor wins reveal a deep understanding of different user needs. The ProArt Display PA27UCGE and PA32UCE are designed exclusively for color accuracy, featuring built-in motorized colorimeters and hardware calibration. These displays deliver 98% DCI-P3 coverage with Delta E<1 accuracy at 160Hz refresh rates and 600 nits brightness, specifications that matter to photographers and video editors who can’t afford color shifts between devices.

The ProArt Display OLED series brings OLED technology to professional workflows where perfect blacks and infinite contrast translate to better creative decisions. ASUS prioritized burn-in protection and color accuracy over gaming features, showing they understand professional priorities.

Gaming gets serious attention with the ROG Swift OLED series. The PG32UCDM features a 32-inch 4K QD-OLED display with a 240Hz refresh rate and 0.03ms response time, while the PG27AQDP achieves refresh rates of up to 480Hz at 1440p. Custom heatsinks and OLED Care+ features address burn-in concerns, proving ASUS understands the hesitation around OLED for desktop use.

The ZenScreen Duo OLED MQ149CD offers dual portable screens in one device, ideal for presentations where you need to display content while keeping notes private. The ZenScreen Smart MS27UC and MS32UC build smart TV functionality directly into monitors, eliminating streaming device clutter in small spaces.

Graphics Cards and Components That Know Their Lane

The GPU wins demonstrate clear market segmentation. The ROG Astral RTX 50 series targets enthusiasts wanting maximum performance with premium cooling solutions. The liquid-cooled ROG Astral LC RTX 50 series pushes further for users prioritizing silence over everything else. Meanwhile, the TUF Gaming RTX 50 series offers military-grade reliability at more accessible price points, demonstrating that durability doesn’t require premium pricing.

The ProArt Z890-CREATOR WIFI motherboard shows ASUS understanding that creators need different features than gamers. Instead of overclocking potential and RGB zones, this board focuses on stability, Thunderbolt connectivity, high-speed storage options, and professional-grade audio interfaces that actually matter for content creation workflows.

Accessories That Solve Actual Problems

The peripheral wins aren’t just about RGB and aggressive styling. The ROG Azoth Extreme earned recognition as a 75% gaming keyboard with a full aluminum alloy chassis, a carbon fiber positioning plate, and an OLED touchscreen that actually serves a purpose for customization. The ROG Harpe Ace Extreme mouse weighs just 47 grams thanks to carbon fiber construction, while packing a 42,000-dpi ROG AimPoint Pro optical sensor for users who need that level of precision.

The ASUS Master Thunderbolt 5 Dock DC510 addresses the cable chaos plaguing modern desks with enough bandwidth to run multiple 4K displays, storage arrays, and peripherals through a single cable. The thoughtful port placement and clean design demonstrate an understanding of how these devices are actually used in real workspaces.

Even the ROG SLASH Backpack series has earned recognition for solving specific problems that gamers face when transporting expensive hardware. These aren’t just bags with gaming logos; they feature dedicated compartments, actual protection systems, and thoughtful organization for cables and peripherals. The RT-BE58 Go router, ProArt PA401 PC case, and ASUS Cobble Enclosure storage solution round out the accessories, each addressing specific user needs rather than just filling product categories.

What This Design Sweep Actually Tells Us About Technology’s Future

Looking at these 41 wins collectively reveals something important about where technology design is heading. ASUS succeeded by recognizing that one-size-fits-all products satisfy nobody in 2025. A professional photographer needs fundamentally different display features than a competitive gamer. A business user values different laptop attributes than a content creator. A student needs different price points than an enterprise customer.

The sustainability angle running through many products also matters more than the press releases suggest. When premium products lead with 100% recycled aluminum frames and FSC-certified packaging, it normalizes these choices across entire product lines. Environmental consideration is becoming integral to good design rather than a marketing checkbox.

AI integration across categories shows ASUS betting on intelligence over raw specifications. The Zenfone 12 Ultra’s AI Transcript 2.0 converts meeting recordings to searchable documents without cloud processing. The ExpertBook P5’s AI ExpertMeet handles noise cancellation and camera framing locally. These features address real productivity needs while respecting privacy concerns.

Perhaps most importantly, these awards suggest the industry is moving past the era of spec sheet battles. ASUS won by solving specific user frustrations: shaky videos, gaming laptops that look unprofessional, mini PCs that throttle, displays with inconsistent colors, cable management nightmares. Each product addresses real problems people face daily rather than inventing new features nobody requested.

The breadth of this achievement, spanning from pocket-sized smartphones to professional workstations, demonstrates that good design principles scale across categories while respecting each segment’s unique demands. As the technology industry continues chasing bigger numbers and flashier features, ASUS’s focus on thoughtful problem-solving through design points toward a more user-centric future. Whether this translates to market success remains to be seen, but these 41 awards suggest they’re asking the right questions about what technology should actually do for the people who use it every day.

– Article invité, rédigé par Vincent Lautier –

À l’occasion du World Password Day, Microsoft rebaptise l’événement “World Passkey Day” et impose désormais la connexion sans mot de passe pour tous les nouveaux comptes. Une décision qui fait du bruit dans un contexte de cybermenaces permanentes.

Mot de passe oublié ? Ce sera bientôt de l’histoire ancienne

Microsoft vient donc de franchir une étape importante dans sa lutte contre les mots de passe. Dorénavant, tout nouveau compte Microsoft sera configuré sans mot de passe par défaut. Lors de l’inscription, l’utilisateur ne sera plus invité à créer un mot de passe, mais à choisir parmi des méthodes d’authentification plus sécurisées : passkeys, clés de sécurité, authentification à deux facteurs ou Windows Hello. Ce changement fait partie d’un plan plus large, entamé depuis plusieurs années, dans le but d’éliminer totalement l’utilisation de mots de passe. Pour les comptes existants, Microsoft propose aussi une option dans les paramètres pour supprimer son mot de passe manuellement.

OpenAI vient d’annoncer qu’ils allaient ajouter une fonctionnalité shopping à ChatGPT, pour permettre aux utilisateurs de comparer et d’acheter des produits directement depuis l’interface. Une annonce qui place encore plus clairement OpenAI en compétition directe avec Google et Amazon, toujours dans l’idée de réinventer la recherche en ligne.

ChatGPT se lance dans la course au shopping en ligne

ChatGPT propose donc désormais à certains de ses utilisateurs une fonctionnalité inédite : rechercher et acheter des produits sans quitter l’application. Annoncée officiellement par OpenAI, cette nouveauté concerne d’abord quelques catégories comme l’électronique, la mode, la beauté et les articles pour la maison. L’objectif est clair : capter davantage de temps d’utilisation et bousculer les géants historiques de la recherche et de l’e-commerce.

Turntable concept can also serve as Bluetooth speaker and aesthetic table

Par : Ida Torres
2 mai 2025 à 16:20

Most people who move into their own spaces, whether they got married or they got their own apartment or house, would prefer to have furniture and appliances that are both functional and aesthetic. Also, the idea of multi-purpose living devices is gaining significant traction especially for those who live in smaller spaces or who are working on a limited budget. There are a lot of product designers who are taking these into consideration and have come up with concepts that can be pretty useful when they become actual products.

RNT is a living table concept that seamlessly integrates a turntable, a high-quality speaker, and a stylish table into a single, elegant piece of furniture. This innovative concept was designed to transform how we interact with music and our living spaces. Its core functionality revolves around its built-in turntable, allowing users to indulge in the warm, rich sound of vinyl records. The turntable, cleverly integrated into the tabletop, offers a nostalgic yet contemporary way to enjoy music. Beyond its analog capabilities, RNT also embraces modern technology with Bluetooth connectivity, instantly transforming into a wireless speaker for streaming digital music from various devices.

Designer: Minseok Bae

The user experience is thoughtfully considered with a dedicated remote control. This pebble-shaped device, featuring wireless charging for ultimate convenience, provides intuitive control over power, volume, and the turntable’s functions. Its elegant design ensures it sits comfortably in the hand and even has a designated spot on the table’s base, blending functionality with a touch of sculptural beauty.

One of the most distinctive features of RNT is the unique integration of the tonearm and the top shell. Unlike traditional turntables with independently operating tonearms, RNT’s design merges these elements into a single, fluid structure. Opening the top shell gently lifts the tonearm, ready to play an LP, while closing it initiates the music. This innovative approach offers an intuitive and almost ritualistic experience, elevating the act of listening to vinyl.

Beyond its impressive audio capabilities, this concept is also designed with aesthetics in mind. The project’s intention was to transform functional objects into sensorial, furniture-like pieces. The result is a minimalist silhouette built around linear elements, allowing RNT to blend effortlessly into a variety of interior styles. The chosen color palette, featuring a soft celadon green for the main body, adds a touch of calm and sophistication to the space. The careful balance of color tones contributes to a smooth and refined visual impression, ensuring RNT feels like a natural addition to any room.

Positioned as more than just furniture, RNT aspires to be a “living device” that tunes the rhythm and atmosphere of daily life. Its design encourages shared listening experiences in group settings, as the speaker, discreetly housed beneath the table, delivers sound throughout the space. This makes RNT an ideal centerpiece for living rooms or lounges, fostering a communal appreciation for music.

RNT as a concept represents a fresh perspective on how technology and furniture can harmoniously coexist. By seamlessly integrating a turntable, speaker, and table into a beautifully designed unit, it offers an efficient, intuitive, and aesthetically pleasing solution for modern living spaces. It’s a testament to the idea that functional objects can possess both presence and the ability to subtly shape the spaces they inhabit, enriching our lives with both sound and style. Hopefully, someone will be able to manufacture it eventually to see if it can be just as good in the real world as on paper.

Avec tout ce que vous avez placé au fil des années sur votre Livret A Caisse d’Epargne, je pense que vous allez enfin pouvoir réaliser votre rêve : Acheter un satellite de grade militaire ! Oui, vous m’avez bien lu, on n’est plus dans les films là, c’est enfin une réalité !!

Pour la modique somme de 5,5 millions de dollars (soit moins cher qu’un jet privé d’entrée de gamme), c’est ce que propose United Spaceports Corp, la société qui sera aux commandes du futur Spaceport de Las Vegas. Leur offre ? Le Black Star 1000 sera donc le premier satellite militaire personnel de l’histoire disponible pour monsieur et madame Tout-le-monde (enfin, ceux qui ont vidé leur PEL, leur assurance-vie, et vendu un rein ou deux).

Même si ça n’embête pas grand monde, les dashcams restent problématiques parce que quelqu’un pourrait avoir des images de vous au volant de votre Fiat Punto, avec votre maitresse sur le siège passager… Ou encore déambulant complètement saoule et à moitié nu dans les rues de Pau, ce qui vous empêcherait, peut-être un jour d’être ministre… Quoique…

Mais je trouve que ça apporte quand même un gros avantage en cas d’accident pour lever le doute sur certaines situations complexes surtout quand on voit le nombre de Volkswagens, euuuh pardon, de chauffards en exercice sur nos routes nationales.

Tiens, alors ça c’est rigolo ! Le projet deb-books vient de mettre en lumière une pratique assez fascinante, à savoir l’utilisation d’œuvres littéraires complètes comme données de test dans des dépôts Debian.

En général, quand je pense “dépôt Debian”, j’imagine des lignes de code impénétrables et des commentaires cryptiques et chelous qui feraient chialer un intégrateur HTML, mais certainement pas les œuvres complètes de William Shakespeare ou les aventures d’Alice au pays des merveilles.

Hier, on rentrait de l’école avec mon fils et il m’a posé une question intéressante : “Est ce qu’on peut rester coincé dans une voiture ?

Grosse question, surtout quand on sait qu’une voiture peut couler entièrement en moins de 60 secondes ou qu’un habitacle peut atteindre 45°C en seulement 30 minutes alors qu’il fait à peine 26°C dehors. Ou encore que toucher simultanément votre voiture et le sol quand un câble électrique est tombé dessus, peut vous instantanément vous griller comme une saucisse…
