Si comme moi, vous avez une imprimante Brother qui traîne dans votre bureau, alors accrochez-vous bien à vos cartouches d’encre, parce que Rapid7 vient de balancer une bombe. Pas moins de 689 modèles d’imprimantes Brother sont touchés par 8 vulnérabilités dont certaines sont carrément flippantes. Et la plus critique d’entre elles permet à n’importe quel pirate de générer le mot de passe administrateur de votre imprimante sans même avoir besoin de s’authentifier !
Après avoir secoué Google avec leur moteur de recherche IA qui cartonne (près de 2% du trafic mondial de recherche, quand même), Perplexity débarque maintenant avec Comet, un navigateur qui pourrait bien mettre tout le monde d’accord. En plus, la beta Windows vient tout juste d’être lancée pour quelques chanceux testeurs !
Durant des années, on a tous galéré avec nos navigateurs, à jongler entre 50 onglets ouverts, à chercher ce mail important auquel on a jamais répondu, ou à comparer des prix sur 15 sites différents. Eh bien figurez-vous que les mecs de Perplexity se sont dit “et si on foutait une IA directement dans le navigateur pour que ça fasse tout ça tout seul ?”.
Bon, je sais ce que vous allez me dire : “PNG ? Sérieux Korben ? On est en 2025 et tu nous parles d’un format d’image qui date de l’époque où on écoutait encore Britney Spears sur nos lecteurs CD ?” Eh bah figurez-vous que ce bon vieux format PNG qui dormait tranquillement depuis 20 ans vient de se réveiller, et il a visiblement pris des vitamines pendant son sommeil !
Bon, je vais faire court parce que je sais que vous êtes là pour une raison : ChatGPT qui refresh en boucle et ça vous fait péter un câble !! A juste titre !
L’URL qui alterne entre chatgpt.com et chatgpt.com/?refresh_account=true, la page qui se recharge toutes les 2 secondes… Je connais, ça m’est arrivé hier et la bonne nouvelle c’est que j’ai trouvé une solution ultra simple qui marche dans 99,99 % des cas.
Une question que je me pose avec Linux, c’est quand est-ce qu’on va arrêter de découvrir des failles qui transforment n’importe quel utilisateur lambda en super master absolu du système ?? Eh bien la réponse est surement “Pas aujourd’hui !!” parce que Qualys vient de sortir 2 CVE qui mettent à poil toutes les principales distros.
Je vous avoue que quand j’ai lu le rapport de Qualys TRU, j’ai d’abord cru à une blague. 2 lignes de code, 3 secondes d’exécution, et hop, vous voilà root sur Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora et openSUSE. Les CVE-2025-6018 et CVE-2025-6019, qui viennent d’être découvertes, c’est pas juste 2 failles de plus dans la longue liste des vulnérabilités Linux. C’est une combinaison dévastatrice qui exploite des services tellement basiques qu’ils tournent sur pratiquement toutes les installations Linux par défaut. Et ça concerne UDisks (le daemon de gestion du stockage) et PAM (les modules d’authentification), donc autant dire des composants qu’on trouve partout.
Vous savez ce qui est plus fort qu’un hacker qui vous demande de cliquer sur un lien louche ? Un hacker qui n’a même pas besoin que vous cliquiez !
EchoLeak, la nouvelle vulnérabilité de Microsoft 365 Copilot, prouve qu’en matière d’IA, on n’a pas fini de découvrir des trucs qui font froid dans le dos, du genre notre assistant virtuel préféré qui peut devenir une balance sans même qu’on s’en rende compte.
Si vous pensiez que Linux c’était compliqué, attendez de voir ce que les développeurs nous ont concocté pour 2025. Entre les systèmes “immutables” qui changent tout le temps (je vous explique juste après) et les distros spécialisées gaming qui font tourner Cyberpunk mieux que Windows, on n’est pas sortis de l’auberge ! Mais rassurez-vous, c’est pour le meilleur !
Terminé le temps où on se contentait d’Ubuntu avec un nouveau fond d’écran d’animal chelou, maintenant, les nouvelles distributions qui sortent sont ultra spécialisées et n’ont d’autre objectif que de bien faire leur taf. Et la plupart adoptent même une approche révolutionnaire : les mises à jour atomiques 💥. Concrètement, ça veut dire que vous pouvez tester une nouvelle version sans risquer de planter votre installation et si ça foire (parce que ça foire toujours), un redémarrage et vous revoilà sur la version précédente. C’est exactement ce dont je rêvais depuis des années pour pouvoir expérimenter sans stress.
Deux nouvelles vulnérabilités découvertes dans SecureBoot prouvent une fois de plus que, même les meilleurs systèmes de sécurité peuvent avoir des failles signées par… Microsoft en personne. Moi, j’dis standing ovation !!!
CVE-2025-3052 et CVE-2025-47827 vont faire mal à la tête des admins système durant les prochains mois car ces failles exploitent des outils légitimement signés par Microsoft pour désactiver les protections que Microsoft a elle-même conçues. C’est comme si le serrurier qui pose votre serrure gardait un double de vos clés dans sa poche pour revenir taper dans vos Délichocs quand vous n’êtes pas là.
At Expo 2025 Osaka, among the eight Signature Pavilions redefining the architectural dialogue of the future, null² emerges as a standout vision. Designed by Tokyo- and Taipei-based studio NOIZ in collaboration with media artist and researcher Yoichi Ochiai, the pavilion is more than just a building, it’s a living experiment in hybrid space-making, where the boundaries between physical and digital, static and dynamic, dissolve into a shimmering architectural interspace.
Conceived as a speculative model for future architecture, null² occupies a unique conceptual realm: it’s neither fully real nor entirely virtual, but something in between, a meta-environment that interacts with its users and surroundings. Its form is built from voxel-like modules, cubic units of 2, 4, or 8 meters, arranged to create a flowing sequence of exhibition, support, and rest spaces. These modules vary from rigid geometric blocks to more warped, organic shapes, each clad in a newly developed mirrored membrane that shifts with the wind and reflects the changing world around it.
Designer: NOIZ
This tensile membrane does more than just mirror its environment. Designed to be reactive, it shimmers and moves in response to environmental forces, creating a visual rhythm that gives the structure a sense of breath. In doing so, it transforms the building’s presence from a static object to a living system, one that visually and metaphorically blurs into its context.
From its very conception, null² has been designed with agility in mind. In response to the tight timeline and uncertain future beyond Expo 2025, NOIZ developed a modular framework that prioritizes speed, flexibility, and reuse. The structure can be rapidly deployed, easily dismantled, and potentially relocated. The innovative membrane not only enhances the structure’s aesthetics but also offers solar reflectance and thermal insulation, features that hint at sustainable applications beyond the Expo, such as retrofitting existing buildings.
Inside the pavilion, visitors are drawn into a multisensory exhibition experience built around the concept of digital twins. These avatars reflect and respond to the user’s presence, making the act of visiting itself a kind of co-creation. Within select modules, robotic arms and embedded woofers interact with the mirrored surfaces through movement and sound, producing an environment that feels both tactile and intelligent. The building, in this way, becomes a responsive interface, a medium for communication between the visitor and the space.
But null² is not confined to its physical form. It extends into the digital, offering a participatory platform where remote users can engage with the pavilion through robotic avatars or augment their on-site experience using AR overlays. Visitors are encouraged to digitally reinterpret the structure, creating personalized spatial edits and contributing to an evolving archive of user-generated designs. This participatory approach redefines architectural authorship, replacing the singular vision of the designer with a collective, crowd-sourced process.

Hisense is set to redefine home theater audio in 2025 with its new sound system designed to make great sound feel effortless. The Hisense HT Saturn offers a bold promise of fully wireless surround with a 4.1.2 channel audio system, delivering cinematic sound without the hassle that plagued older setups. It transforms the usual nest of cables into a sleek environment, allowing four individual wireless satellite speakers and a standalone 6.5-inch subwoofer to settle comfortably wherever the room’s personality leads. The company’s engineers believe it’s time to give home audio the freedom it deserves. As Hisense describes it, “Everything sounds like it’s a perfectly balanced home theater audio system.”
Designer: Hisense
Hisense’s approach draws attention to how people actually live. The HT Saturn listens to the room before it does anything else, using a small dongle that connects to the TV and emits a precise calibration tone. This tone interacts with the room’s surfaces, furniture, and layout, allowing the system to analyze sound reflections and distances. Based on this data, the system automatically adjusts each speaker and subwoofer to deliver balanced audio tailored to the unique acoustics of the space.
The HT Saturn sets a new standard in audio performance. It was purpose-built to complement Hisense TVs 85 inches and larger. Featuring Pure Surround Dolby Atmos and DTS:X, it surrounds users with multidimensional soundscapes, ensuring every audio detail is delivered with precision and creating a fully immersive experience. Whether you’re watching a blockbuster or gaming with friends, the system captures every detail with precision, enhancing the emotional impact of every scene.
The company seems intent on proving that there is more to a satisfying experience than numbers on a spec sheet. The HT Saturn distinguishes itself acoustically by pairing premium sound quality with intuitive features that simplify its use, from its automatic calibration to its seamless integration with TV speakers. This seamless collaboration is powered by Hisense’s proprietary Hi-Concerto Technology, which synchronizes the HT Saturn with the TV’s built-in speakers to deliver an expanded and immersive audio field.
Another subtle touch is the single remote approach, which simplifies daily interactions by replacing the need for multiple remotes. This integration ensures that users can control the HT Saturn and TV seamlessly, avoiding the clutter and confusion often associated with multi-remote setups. Everything is integrated, even the onscreen menus. The company’s representatives made it clear that the HT Saturn is less about forcing people to understand complex settings and more about putting them at ease from day one. The inclusion of EZ Play ensures direct control via the Hisense remote, further simplifying the user experience.
Hisense’s forward-thinking design choices extend to the system’s use of advanced connectivity options and seamless integration with evolving home entertainment setups. The HT Saturn fully utilizes advanced connectivity options like HDMI eARC and Bluetooth 5.3, enhancing the user experience by ensuring high-quality audio transmission, seamless device pairing, and broad compatibility with evolving television technologies. The system also includes five tailored EQ modes, optimizing sound for movies, music, sports, and more to suit user preferences.
One of the HT Saturn’s defining acoustic qualities is its ability to adapt. The system’s ability to compensate for unconventional speaker placement ensures “tremendous flexibility” while delivering uncompromised sound. Wherever you’re seated—directly in front of the screen or off to the side—the HT Saturn fine-tunes its output to ensure every spot feels optimal.
While final pricing and release details remain unannounced, Hisense plans to showcase the HT Saturn at CES 2025, where attendees can experience its innovative wireless capabilities and immersive sound performance firsthand. I’ll be at CES to explore Hisense’s innovations in depth, focusing on HT Saturn’s wireless flexibility, acoustic calibration, and overall user experience. I’m eager to test how it performs in a live environment and will share those insights with you.
Initial observations suggest that this wireless sound system, with its 13-speaker system and tailored sound modes, might redefine expectations regarding installation and comfort.
