Quentin, fidèle lecteur de Korben, développe en solo depuis presque un an un outil qui va parler à tous ceux qui cherchent un appart ou une maison et qui en ont marre de jongler entre quinze onglets pour avoir une vision claire d'un quartier.
1dex.fr c'est une plateforme qui agrège un paquet de données géographiques et immobilières sur n'importe quelle adresse en France. Prix de vente au m², transactions DVF, permis de construire, qualité de l'eau, pollution de l'air, travaux à proximité, écoles... Le tout sur une interface cartographique plutôt bien foutue.
Concrètement, vous entrez une adresse, vous cliquez sur "Analyser cette zone" et hop, la carte se remplit de données. On peut alors visualiser les parcelles alentours, voir les dernières ventes, repérer les chantiers en cours, et même afficher les immeubles avec syndic de copropriété. Y'a même un système de calques pour switcher entre fond de carte classique, vue satellite ou mode sombre.
Perso j'aime bien ce genre d'outil qui met la data à portée de main sans avoir besoin de fouiller data.gouv.fr pendant des heures.
Son modèle est freemium mais rassurez-vous, l'essentiel est gratuit avec une limite journalière d'analyses. Si vous dépassez, soit vous revenez le lendemain, soit vous passez à la caisse pour un accès intensif. Quentin bosse aussi sur une API pour les pros et une extension navigateur qui ajoutera les données 1dex directement sur les annonces immo. Pas mal pour éviter les mauvaises surprises avant même de visiter !
Voilà si vous êtes en recherche de logement ou juste curieux de savoir ce qui se passe autour de chez vous, ça vaut le coup d'œil -> 1dex.fr
Et bravo à Quentin !
The contrast between Sunday night at a concert and Monday morning at your desk is brutal. One moment you’re lost in the music, feeling every guitar riff vibrate through your chest. The next, you’re answering emails and pretending last night’s euphoria wasn’t real. The transition back to routine work feels especially cruel when the weekend gave you a taste of something electric.
That’s where a little whimsy helps. These 3D-printed guitar amp pen holders from LionsPrint bring a fragment of that musical energy to your workspace. They’re compact at 3.5 inches per side, but the details are spot-on: authentic speaker grilles, control panels, and designs inspired by the amplifiers that power actual rock shows. You can personalize them with custom text in silver or gold. They won’t replace the thrill of live music, but they’re a small reminder that the mundane is just temporary.
Designer: LionsPrint
The thing about good desk accessories is they need to justify their existence beyond pure function. A pen holder is essentially a container with holes. You could use a coffee mug. But LionsPrint clearly understood that musicians and music fans have a specific relationship with amplifiers that goes beyond their utility. These aren’t random music references slapped onto office supplies. They’re recognizable silhouettes: Marshall stacks with their iconic script logo, Fender’s clean lines, Yamaha’s distinctive branding. The 3D printing allows for texture work that would be impossible with traditional manufacturing. Those speaker grilles have depth and pattern variation that catches light differently depending on angle.
At 3.5 x 3.5 x 3.5 inches, the dimensions work perfectly for standard desk real estate. Small enough that they don’t dominate your workspace, large enough that they actually hold a functional amount of pens, scissors, and whatever other tools accumulate throughout a workday. The cube format keeps them stable. No tipping over when you’re fishing for a specific marker at 2 AM during a deadline crunch.
The customization option elevates these beyond typical musician merch. You can add text in metallic silver or gold finishes, which means your studio name, your band’s logo, or even an inside joke with your bandmates can live on your desk. Most “gifts for guitarists” feel like afterthoughts, designed by people who think all musicians are the same. This actually lets you claim ownership of the aesthetic instead of just passively receiving someone else’s idea of what music fans want.
LionsPrint sells these through Etsy starting at $19.98 USD before shipping. The price sits in that sweet spot where it’s low enough to impulse buy after a particularly soul-crushing Monday, but high enough that the 3D printing quality actually delivers on the details. You pick your amp style, add your custom text if you want it, and suddenly your desk has at least one object that doesn’t make you question your life choices. Small victories count when you’re counting down to the weekend.

Ce matin, je cherchais un moyen simple de tester des webhooks en local sans passer par ce bon vieux Ngrok qui est devenu un peu relou avec ses limites en version gratuite. J'ai d'abord pensé à monter mon propre serveur VPN (coucou Tailscale), mais franchement flemme.
Et puis tout à fait par hasard (aaah les joies de la sérendipité) je suis tombé sur cet outil qui devrait vous plaire, surtout si vous développez des applis qui doivent recevoir des notifications HTTP (GitHub, Stripe, Slack...). Ben oui vous connaissez la galère... votre serveur de dev est sur "localhost", donc inaccessible depuis l'extérieur, du coup, impossible de recevoir ces fameux webhooks sans ouvrir votre routeur ou utiliser un tunnel.
C'est là qu'intervient Webhooks Proxy Tunnel !
Grâce à cet outil, au lieu de multiplier les intermédiaires, vous déployez votre propre tunnel... directement sur l'infrastructure de Cloudflare. Et le meilleur c'est que ça tourne généralement très bien sur leur offre gratuite (dans la limite des quotas Workers évidemment, donc attention si vous bourrinez comme un fifou).
L'outil utilise un Cloudflare Worker couplé à un Durable Object (une sorte de mini-serveur d'état). Le Worker reçoit alors les requêtes publiques sur une URL en HTTPS (genre "truc.workers.dev") et les transmet via une WebSocket à un petit client Node.js qui tourne sur votre machine. Et hop, le trafic arrive sur votre port local.
Perso, je trouve ça brillant car même si le trafic passe techniquement par Cloudflare (puisque c'est leur infra), vous gardez la main sur le code qui s'exécute et vous évitez d'envoyer vos données à un service tiers supplémentaire dont vous ignorez tout.
Pour l'installer, ne plus c'est hyper fastoche. Il vous faut juste un compte Cloudflare et Node.js. J'ai testé l'install en moins de 5 minutes, vous clonez le dépôt, vous installez les dépendances et vous lancez le déploiement (qui vous demandera de vous authentifier) :
Connexion
git clone https://github.com/peter-leonov/webhooks-proxy-tunnel.git
cd webhooks-proxy-tunnel/worker
npm install
npm run deploy
Une fois déployé, le script vous donne une URL et il ne vous reste plus alors qu'à lancer le client local en lui disant où taper (par exemple votre port 3000) et le tour est joué !! Vous pouvez même gérer plusieurs tunnels en parallèle si vous bossez sur plusieurs projets, chaque tunnel ayant son ID unique.
Attention quand même, c'est conçu pour du développement hein, pas pour streamer de la 4K. Les requêtes doivent tenir en mémoire (limite de 100 Mo environ) donc sauf si vous transférez des fichiers énormes via vos webhooks, ça passera crème pour du JSON ou des petits payloads binaires.
Voilà, si vous cherchiez une alternative self-hosted et gratuite pour vos tests, c'est clairement un outil à garder sous le coude. Et si vous avez besoin de trucs plus costauds pour du réseau d'entreprise, jetez un œil à Tailscale ou Octelium .
The stationery world has long looked to Japan for innovation, and planning enthusiasts know this better than anyone. Japanese design philosophy brings together minimalism, functionality, and thoughtful engineering to create tools that transform mundane tasks into moments of creative joy. These aren’t just accessories that sit pretty on your desk. They’re carefully crafted instruments that respect your workflow, elevate your planning rituals, and make every stroke of the pen feel intentional.
What separates Japanese stationery from the rest comes down to obsessive attention to detail and problem-solving that addresses friction you didn’t even know existed. The best pieces remove obstacles between your thoughts and the page, letting ideas flow without interruption. From clipboards that reinvent organization to pencils that never need sharpening, these ten items represent the pinnacle of accessible Japanese design. Each piece delivers exceptional value while staying comfortably under the $100 mark, proving that extraordinary craftsmanship doesn’t require a luxury price tag.
Pens have a frustrating tendency to disappear precisely when inspiration strikes. The Inseparable Notebook Pen addresses this through elegant magnetic integration, designed specifically to blend seamlessly with your planning system. The minimalist form feels natural in your hand, with comfortable grip proportions and smooth ink flow that removes any friction between thought and page. The magnetic clip securely attaches to your notebook cover, ensuring the pen travels with your planning system as a permanent extension rather than a separate item you might forget.
The built-in silencer demonstrates the obsessive attention to detail that defines Japanese design excellence. Instead of the harsh click or scrape of metal on metal, attaching and detaching the pen creates a quiet, satisfying sensation that respects your workspace and thinking process. The sleek aesthetic complements any notebook style without drawing attention to itself, allowing your planning system to maintain its visual coherence. For those who have developed specific pen preferences and rituals around their planning practice, this tool honors that relationship by creating reliable, constant access. The pen becomes as integral to your system as the notebook itself.
Planning systems thrive on flexibility, and the Magboard Clipboard understands this at a fundamental level. This minimalist marvel replaces traditional clipboard mechanisms with an elegant magnet and lever system that secures up to thirty sheets without punching holes or creating permanent bindings. The hardcover construction means you can capture thoughts while standing at a gallery opening, jotting notes during a walking meeting, or sketching layouts at a coffee shop. The freedom to rearrange pages instantly transforms how you organize information, letting you shuffle priorities and reorder thoughts as your projects evolve.
The water-resistant surface adds a practical dimension that traditional clipboards simply can’t match. Spilled coffee becomes a minor inconvenience rather than a catastrophe, and the easy-to-clean material means your workspace aesthetic stays pristine. Planning enthusiasts particularly love how this design eliminates the commitment anxiety that comes with bound notebooks. Pages can migrate between projects, early drafts can be removed without tearing, and your organizational system can adapt as fluidly as your thinking process. The Magboard turns note-taking into a dynamic, modular experience.
The ritual of sharpening pencils carries a certain nostalgic charm, but it also breaks concentration and creates friction between thinking and writing. The Everlasting All-Metal Pencil eliminates this with a special alloy core that writes like traditional graphite yet refuses to wear down at any noticeable rate. The aluminum body feels substantial in your hand, grounding you in the physical act of writing, while the metal tip glides across paper with familiar smoothness. For planners who sketch layouts, draft bullet journal spreads, or map out monthly calendars, this tool becomes an extension of thought itself.
What makes this pencil genuinely revolutionary is how it erases cleanly with standard erasers despite its metal composition. The marks blend beautifully with watercolor and water-based markers, making it perfect for planners who incorporate artistic elements into their organizational systems. The pocket-sized variant now available means you can carry this innovation everywhere, always prepared to capture ideas without worrying about broken mechanical pencil leads or dull points. The permanence of the pencil itself creates a different relationship with your tools, transforming a disposable item into a lasting companion.
Opening packages becomes a small ceremony when you’re using a tool that looks like it belongs in a design museum. The Heritage Craft Unboxing Knife takes inspiration from Paleolithic hand axes, reimagining ancient stone tools through the lens of modern materials and precision machining. Carved from a single block of aluminum, the circular form fits naturally in your palm while the wave-like patterns created during manufacturing provide both visual interest and functional grip. This isn’t a utility blade you’ll hide in a drawer. The sculptural quality demands display, transforming a mundane task into an opportunity for tactile pleasure.
The tapered design adds practical benefits beyond aesthetics. The form naturally guides the blade through tape and packaging materials with minimal effort, while the substantial weight provides cutting control. Planning enthusiasts who regularly receive stationery hauls, subscription boxes, or online orders find genuine joy in the unboxing ritual this tool creates. The piece occupies that rare space where functional tool meets conversation starter, sitting proudly on your desk as both instrument and art object. The connection to human tool-making history adds a layer of meaning that elevates everyday tasks.
Precision tools appeal to planning enthusiasts because they respect the importance of exact measurements and clean cuts. The Craftmaster EDC Utility Knife combines minimalist aesthetics with thoughtful functionality, packaging an OLFA blade system in a sleek metal body just 0.3 inches thick. The tactile rotating knob for blade deployment feels satisfying in a way that cheap sliding mechanisms never match, turning tool use into a deliberate, mindful action. What sets this apart is the magnetic companion piece: a metal ruler with both metric and imperial markings that docks directly to the knife’s back.
The ruler itself demonstrates exceptional design thinking. The raised edge makes it easy to lift from flat surfaces, solving that frustrating fumbling moment when thin rulers refuse to cooperate. The built-in blade breaker lets you snap off dulled OLFA segments safely, extending blade life and maintaining cutting precision. The 15-degree curved edge protects your fingers during use, while the 45-degree inclination angle makes opening boxes cleaner and safer. For planners who craft custom inserts, trim printed materials, or create collage elements, this tool brings professional-level precision to personal projects without requiring a dedicated crafting space.
Digital planning tools promise endless flexibility, but they can’t match the cognitive benefits of writing by hand. The Personal Whiteboard offers the best of both worlds: the tactile satisfaction of marker on surface combined with instant digital capture and infinite reusability. This single-page whiteboard notebook transforms brainstorming and quick planning into a frictionless process. Jot down your daily priorities, sketch out a weekly layout, or map connections between projects, then simply photograph your work to preserve it before wiping it clean. The multi-functional cover serves as an eraser, a built-in stand, and a storage pocket.
The innovative Mag Force system exemplifies Japanese attention to small details that create big impacts. This mechanism functions as both a cover handle for comfortable carrying and a secure pen holder, ensuring your marker never goes missing. Compatible with any standard whiteboard marker, this removes the frustration of proprietary refills or special equipment. Planning enthusiasts particularly love this for morning brain dumps, temporary schedules that change frequently, and collaborative planning sessions where ideas need to flow without commitment. The ephemeral nature paradoxically encourages bolder thinking since nothing feels permanent until you decide to save it.
The daily mail ritual deserves better than raggedly torn envelopes or dangerous knife work. The Effortless Standing Letter Cutter transforms this mundane task into a moment of satisfying precision. This elegant bar of anodized aluminum sits upright on your desk, functioning as both sculpture and tool until correspondence arrives. Simply slide an envelope across the blade and watch it create a clean incision along one edge, opening the letter without generating paper scraps that need disposal. The standing design means the cutter occupies minimal space while remaining constantly accessible.
What planners appreciate most is how this tool respects the correspondence they receive. Important documents, special cards, and treasured letters all deserve careful opening, and this cutter delivers that reverence. The substantial weight allows it to double as a paperweight when needed, pinning down reference materials or holding open your planner to a specific spread. The replaceable blade extends the product’s lifetime indefinitely, embodying sustainable design principles that Japanese manufacturers champion. This piece represents the Japanese design philosophy of finding extraordinary solutions for overlooked everyday moments.
Paper quality fundamentally affects the planning experience, yet most people accept whatever their notebooks provide. The Japanese Drawing Pad elevates this foundational element, offering sheets that honor the centuries-old Japanese papermaking tradition. Available in traditional white or striking black, these pads let you choose the backdrop that best suits your planning style and creative vision. The durable paper fibers resist damage from erasing, marker bleed-through, and frequent handling, maintaining their integrity through intensive use. Microperforations allow effortless tearing when you need to extract a page.
The recycled cardboard base adds environmental consciousness without compromising quality, staying rigid enough to support writing and drawing when you’re away from a desk. Planning enthusiasts who incorporate illustration, calligraphy, or watercolor elements into their systems find that this paper transforms their results. The fiber quality creates the right amount of tooth for pencil work while remaining smooth enough for fine-line pens. Available in A6, A5, and A4 sizes, you can match the pad to your specific planning needs, whether you’re working on pocket-sized daily cards or full-page monthly spreads. The paper itself becomes a creative partner.
Scissors live an undignified life, scattered in drawers or lost in desk clutter, despite being essential tools. The Scissors with Base restores proper respect to this fundamental implement, providing a magnetic aluminum base that keeps the scissors upright, visible, and exactly where you need them. The Japanese stainless steel construction with Teflon coating delivers confident, precise cuts through paper, tape, fabric, and packaging materials. The solid weight creates stability during cutting, preventing the lightweight flimsiness that makes cheap scissors frustrating to use.
The innovative dual-function design adds unexpected versatility. One finger ring incorporates a box cutter blade, giving you two essential tools in a single elegant form. Planning enthusiasts who craft custom layouts, work with washi tape, or assemble collage elements find that this combines accessibility with performance. The upright storage means the scissors become a desk sculpture rather than a hidden tool, and the visual presence actually proves functional since you’ll never waste time searching. The magnetic base attachment feels satisfying in a way that transforms the simple act of returning scissors to their home into a small moment of order restored.
Most pen stands compete for attention, using elaborate designs that overshadow the writing instruments they’re meant to showcase. The Serenity Pen Stand takes the opposite approach, reducing itself to the absolute minimum: a small cylinder with a cavity for your pen’s tip, tilted slightly for easy access. Made from aluminum and copper with a dual-tone finish, the diminutive stand places complete focus on your pen while adding a subtle accent of visual interest. The heavy copper bottom creates a low center of gravity that prevents tipping despite the stand’s minimal footprint.
This represents quintessential Japanese design philosophy, finding beauty in reduction and celebrating the tools we use daily by giving them proper presentation. Planning enthusiasts who invest in quality pens, like the Everlasting All-Metal Pencil, finally have a display option that honors their instruments without dominating the desk landscape. The stand occupies minimal space, making it perfect for carefully curated workspaces where every object needs to earn its place. When the pen is in use, the stand remains an elegant small sculpture. The copper’s natural patina development means the piece evolves, gaining character and becoming uniquely yours.
These ten items share a common philosophy that resonates deeply with planning enthusiasts: the belief that everyday tools deserve extraordinary design. Japanese manufacturers understand that the objects we interact with daily shape our experience, our thinking, and our creative output. These aren’t luxury goods positioned beyond reach. They’re accessible innovations that demonstrate how thoughtful design improves life in measurable ways. Each piece removes a small friction point, adds a moment of satisfaction, or solves a problem you might not have consciously identified.
Building a planning practice means surrounding yourself with tools that support your process rather than fighting against it. The best stationery becomes invisible in use, removing barriers between your thoughts and their physical expression. These Japanese designs achieve that goal while also bringing beauty into your daily rituals. Whether you’re reorganizing pages on a Magboard, gliding an Everlasting Pencil across premium paper, or placing your favorite pen on its minimalist stand, these tools transform planning from a task into a practice worth savoring. Your planning system deserves instruments this considered.

Recycled plastic products often fall into two camps: grey utilitarian bins or loud, speckled experiments that feel more like proof of concept than something you want on your desk. Tray210 recycled, a collaboration between Korean studio intenxiv and manufacturer INTOPS under the rmrp brand, takes a different approach, using recycled plastics and waste additives to create a tray that feels like a considered object first and an eco story second, treating material diversity as part of the design language.
Tray210 recycled is a circular tray with three compartments, an evolution of the original Tray210 form. It grew out of INTOPS’ grecipe eco-material platform and hida’s CMF proposals, which is a long way of saying it is the result of a tight loop between material science and industrial design. The goal was to pursue material diversity and break away from the cheap recycled stereotype, making something that belongs in sight rather than hidden under a desk.
The form is intuitive, a 210 mm circle with a raised, ribbed bar running across the middle and two shallow wells on either side. The central groove is sized for pens, pencils, or chopsticks, and the ribs keep cylindrical objects from rolling away. The side compartments are open and shallow, perfect for earbuds, clips, rings, or keys. It is the kind of layout you understand at a glance without needing instructions or labels; just place your pen where the grooves are.
The material story is where Tray210 recycled gets interesting. Multiple recycled blends reflect their sources: Clam and Wood use 80 percent recycled PP with shell and wood waste, Charcoal adds 15 percent charcoal to 80 percent recycled PP, and Stone uses 10–50 percent recycled ABS. Transparent and Marble variants use recycled PC or PCABS with ceramic particles or marble-like pigment. Each colorway is visually tied to its waste stream, making the origin legible and intentional.
The aim is to create a design closer to the lifestyle rmrp pursues, breaking away from the impression recycled plastic generally gives. The Clam and Wood versions read as soft, muted pastels with fine speckling, Charcoal feels like a deep, almost architectural grey, and Stone and Transparent lean into translucency and particulate. Instead of hiding the recycled content, the CMF work uses it as texture and character, closer to terrazzo or stoneware than to injection-molded scrap that just happens to be grey.
The combination of clear zoning and tactile surfaces makes Tray210 recycled feel at home on a desk, entryway shelf, or bedside table. The central groove keeps your favorite pen or stylus always in the same place, while the side wells catch whatever tends to float around, from SD cards to jewelry. The different material stories let you pick a version that matches how you want the space to feel: calm, earthy, industrial, or a bit more playful.
A simple tray can carry a lot of design thinking, from intuitive ergonomics to material storytelling and responsible sourcing. Tray210 recycled is not trying to save the world on its own, but it does show how recycled plastic can be turned into something you actually want to touch and keep in sight. For people who care about both what an object does and what it is made from, that is a quiet but meaningful upgrade over another anonymous catch-all that eventually ends up in a drawer.

Si vous avez déjà essayé de générer du pixel art avec une IA comme Midjourney ou le nouveau modèle Nano Banana Pro de Google, vous avez forcément remarqué ce problème : c’est moche de ouf ! Enfin non, c’est pas moche dans l’absolu, mais les pixels sont tout sauf alignés sur une grille propre. On se retrouve avec des trucs qui ressemblent à du pixel art de loin, mais qui sont en fait une bouillabaisse de pixels de tailles variables, mal placés, avec des anti-aliasing qui n’ont rien à faire là.
Heureusement pour nous, Pixel Snapper va nous aider à corriger tout ça en quelques secondes !
L’outil est développé par Hugo-Dz sur GitHub dans le cadre du projet Sprite Fusion. Vous balancez votre image de pixel art foireuse, et il recale automatiquement chaque pixel sur une grille propre comme ça, fini les pixels qui font du 1,3 × 0,8 au lieu de faire un beau carré 1 × 1 comme le bon dieu du rétro gaming l’a voulu.
Voici la différence… A gauche c’est l’image IA, et à droite, c’est l’image recalée comme il faut :
Le truc cool, c’est que l’outil préserve tous les détails de votre image, c’est à dire le dithering, les courbes, les petits trucs subtils que vous ne voulez pas perdre dans la conversion. C’est pas un outil qui va vous massacrer l’image en la pixelisant bêtement même si certaines couleurs sautent car faut pas dépasser les 16 couleurs.
Voilà, il analyse la structure et recale intelligemment chaque élément sur la grille cible en moins de 2 secondes. Y’a pas besoin de vous créer un compte et c’est sans limite.
En plus, c’est gratuit et open source, donc vous pouvez l’utiliser pour vos projets perso comme pour vos jeux commerciaux sans vous poser de questions. D’ailleurs si vous bossez avec Unity, Godot, Defold ou Flame, les assets générés sont directement utilisables dans vos projets.
Voilà, si vous utilisez des générateurs d’images IA pour créer des assets de jeux rétro et que vous en avez marre de passer des heures à recaler les pixels à la main, testez Pixel Snapper !
Ce matin, vous vous êtes levé, motivé, vous vous êtes posé sur l’ordinateur, très concentré, pour vous lancer dans la réparation de votre aspirateur robot qui fait encore des siennes. Vous lancez le tutoriel YouTube et au bout de 3 minutes, d’un seul coup le mec pose son tournevis et se met à vous parler de sa gourde magique sponsorisée durant 90 longues secondes.
Grmpfff… Bon, après on va pas se mentir, les sponsors, c’est ce qui permet aux créateurs de vivre de leur passion et de continuer à produire du contenu gratuit dont vous vous goinfrez comme des petits cochons grassouillets. C’est le deal. Mais parfois, quand on est pressé ou qu’on enchaîne les tutos, on aimerait bien pouvoir zapper ces passages pour y revenir plus tard évidemment (ou pas ^^).
C’est là qu’intervient SponsorBlock, une extension open source qui permet de sauter automatiquement les segments sponsorisés dans les vidéos YouTube. Le principe : quand quelqu’un identifie un passage pub dans une vidéo, il le signale via l’extension, et ensuite tous les autres utilisateurs peuvent choisir de sauter automatiquement ce passage. C’est du crowdsourcing, et plus de 13 millions de personnes utilisent l’extension .
Bien sûr, si vous utilisez ce genre d’outil et que vous appréciez vraiment un créateur, pensez à le soutenir autrement. Que ce soit via un like, un partage, un abonnement à son Patreon, ou tout simplement en désactivant l’extension sur ses vidéos. Les sponsors, c’est souvent ce qui leur permet de bouffer et de continuer à créer du contenu de qualité. Cet outil est pratique, mais il ne faut pas oublier qu’il y a des humains derrière les vidéos.
Ceci étant dit, l’extension ne se limite pas qu’aux sponsors. Vous pouvez aussi la configurer pour sauter les intros interminables, les outros avec les rappels d’abonnement, ou même les passages non-musicaux dans les clips. L’extension affiche des segments colorés sur la timeline YouTube : du jaune pour les sponsors, du vert pour les intros, du bleu pour les outros, violet pour l’auto-promo, rose pour les intermissions… Vous choisissez ce que vous voulez skipper et ce que vous gardez.
Niveau stats, les utilisateurs ont soumis plus de 17 millions de segments et il y a un système de votes qui permet d’évaluer la qualité des signalements, donc les segments mal identifiés finissent par disparaître.
L’extension est dispo sur tous les navigateurs classiques : Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Safari, Opera… Et si vous êtes sur mobile, y’a des solutions aussi. Par exemple sous Android, des apps comme ReVanced intègrent SponsorBlock nativement. Sur iOS, y’a une app dédiée pour Safari. Enfin, pour les plus geeks d’entre vous, des ports existent pour MPV, Kodi, les TV connectées, Android TV, et même Chromecast.
Côté vie privée, la base de données est publique et n’importe qui peut la télécharger ou l’auditer. Le développeur principal, Ajay Ramachandran, a même mis en place un système de requête qui préserve la vie privée, donc l’extension ne sait pas quelle vidéo vous regardez quand elle interroge le serveur.
Voilà, si vous passez beaucoup de temps sur YouTube et que vous cherchez à optimiser votre temps de visionnage, SponsorBlock peut vous intéresser. C’est gratuit et open source.
Microsoft a officiellement enterré le Windows Subsystem for Android (WSA) le 5 mars dernier car le projet n’a jamais réussi à générer d’argent et l’absence de Google Play Services a été le dernier clou dans le cercueil. Du coup, plus de mises à jour, plus de support, plus d’Amazon Appstore dans le Microsoft Store.. Snif…
Sauf que voilà, y’a des gens qui refusent de lâcher l’affaire et c’est comme ça qu’est né le projet WSABuilds dispo sur GitHub qui propose des builds pré-compilées de WSA avec tout ce qui manquait à la version officielle : le Google Play Store, Magisk ou KernelSU pour le root, et des versions stables régulièrement mises à jour !
WSABuilds vous permet donc de continuer à faire tourner des apps Android sur Windows 10 et 11, même après l’abandon de Microsoft et les builds sont disponibles en plusieurs variantes. Soit avec ou sans Google Apps, avec Magisk ou KernelSU pour le root, en version stable ou LTS…etc. Et vous avez aussi le choix entre x86_64 et ARM64 selon votre config.
L’installation est plutôt simple puisque vous n’avez qu’à télécharger l’archive depuis les releases GitHub ou OneDrive, vous extrayez tout ce bordel, vous renommez le dossier en “WSA” (important d’avoir un nom court), et vous lancez l’install via PowerShell. Le projet contient des scripts qui gèrent tout le processus, donc c’est encore plus confortable que votre chaise de gamer acheté sur Aliexpress.
Côté prérequis, il vous faut Windows 11 build 22000.526 ou plus, ou Windows 10 22H2 avec minimum 8 Go de RAM, même si 16 Go sont recommandés pour une expérience fluide. Et bien sûr, faudra activer la virtualisation dans le BIOS.
Et si vous aviez déjà WSA installé d’avant ce 5 mars 2025 fatidique, il continue de fonctionner mais sans aucune mise à jour, donc WSABuilds devient donc la seule option viable pour avoir une version maintenue et avec le Play Store intégré !
Et pour ceux qui préfèrent les alternatives classiques comme BlueStacks ou NoxPlayer , c’est toujours possible mais WSA reste la solution la plus propre car elle s’intègre nativement à Windows sans passer par un émulateur tiers.
Amusez-vous bien !
