Avec 396 engins en orbite après un lancement effectué dans la nuit du 2 juillet, Amazon estime avoir atteint le seuil minimal pour ouvrir son réseau Leo au public cette année. L'écart avec SpaceX reste toutefois considérable.
Les processeurs aux performances élevées s’accompagnent d’une demande énergétique importante et d’importants besoins en refroidissement. Un ventirad peut-il assurer cette mission ? Mieux un ventirad à tout petit prix peut-il s’attaquer au besoin d’un Ryzen 9 9950X3D ? Un test du Montech NX600 apporte une réponse. Ce ventirad se positionne sous la barre des 30 …
En France, en Allemagne et en Espagne, Waymo a enregistré des filiales entre le 11 juin et le 23 juin. Si la conduite autonome est encore loin d'être légale sur les routes de l'Union européenne, tout suggère désormais que les taxis de Google comptent s'attaquer à ces trois marchés après Londres en septembre 2026.
La dernière canicule a été difficile à supporter pour bon nombre d'entre nous, et la mer Méditerranée aussi a énormément souffert. Des données satellites montrent à quel point sa surface a largement dépassé la température habituelle durant le mois de juin.
Tesla sort son Model Y L aux États-Unis, à Porto Rico ainsi qu'aux Émirats arabes unis. Pendant ce temps, cette version rallongée à 6 places se fait toujours désirer en Europe.
Tout le monde a aimé la série d'animation Star Wars: Visions, et Disney le sait bien. Parmi les segments les plus appréciés des fans, l'épisode 5 de la première saison, Le Neuvième Jedi, figure en bonne place. C'est pourquoi la série animée revient aujourd'hui sous la forme d'une mini-série de huit épisodes, basée sur Le Neuvième Jedi.
Microsoft has introduced a native orchestrated user data migration tool to simplify transitions during corporate mergers, acquisitions, and restructurings. This new capability allows administrators to move Exchange mailboxes, OneDrive files, Teams chats, and Teams meetings through a single unified workflow. By utilizing Graph APIs, organizations can now avoid the risks associated with fragmented third-party point tools and manual PowerShell scripts.
Amazon's greenhouse gas emissions increased by 16% last year, reaching a record high as the company expanded its artificial intelligence infrastructure. This surge was primarily driven by a 34% rise in electricity consumption and a 20% increase in emissions from manufacturing supply chains. The company added more data center capacity globally than any other organization during this period, significantly outpacing its internal efficiency improvements.
The Vect ransomware group and the TeamPCP cybercriminal collective have formed a strategic partnership to industrialize the deployment of ransomware. This collaboration combines TeamPCP’s large-scale credential harvesting from software supply chains with Vect’s established ransomware-as-a-service infrastructure. Security researchers warn that this business-like model significantly lowers the barrier to entry for cybercriminals by automating complex attack pipelines.
HPE has integrated post-quantum cryptography into its latest iLO management controllers to protect server firmware against future threats. The Gen12 hardware utilizes NIST-standardized algorithms, specifically Leighton-Micali Signatures and Module-Lattice-Based Digital Signature Algorithm, to secure the boot process. These mathematical approaches are designed to resist decryption attempts from quantum computers, addressing the "save now, decrypt later" strategy used by some adversaries.
The FBI and Google coordinated a global operation to disrupt NetNut, a massive residential proxy network that co-opted over two million consumer devices. This network, also tracked as the Popa botnet, primarily targeted Android-based smart TVs and streaming boxes through deceptive software development kits. These SDKs were often bundled into unofficial apps or inexpensive hardware, turning home internet connections into exit nodes for third-party traffic without meaningful user consent.
Microsoft is updating Outlook for iOS to utilize Apple’s Contact Provider framework, allowing contact data to be visible across the entire operating system. This change ensures that Outlook contacts will appear in native applications such as Phone and Messages without requiring full address book access. By leveraging this framework, Microsoft aims to provide a more unified experience for users who manage professional contacts within the Outlook ecosystem.
Minecraft is probably the most iconic game in the world. It's the one with all the blocks, where creativity comes alive. For a long time, though, players on Minecraft's Bedrock Edition were missing one of the game's most important accessibility features, despite it having been available in Java Edition for years.
In fact, as a Java player, I had no idea it hadn't already made its way to Bedrock. I'm talking, of course, about the new closed captions.
For those unfamiliar, they're an accessibility feature that provides both text and visual cues for sounds happening around you. Whether it's footsteps, a door opening, or that dreaded creeper sneaking up behind you, closed captions help you better understand your surroundings without relying solely on audio.
To enable closed captions in Minecraft Bedrock Edition:
Go to Settings.
Open Accessibility.
Enable Closed Captions and adjust the settings to your liking.
I'm all for accessibility features like this. They don't negatively affect anyone who chooses not to use them, but they can make a huge difference for players who are deaf or hard of hearing, process audio differently, or simply need a little extra help enjoying the game. Features like these allow more people to experience games without barriers, and that's only ever a good thing.
I haven't actually played Minecraft in a while myself, although the annual two-week Minecraft phase seems to come for all of us eventually. Not too long ago I covered a fan-made Halo modpack for Minecraft, and as a lifelong Halo fan, that definitely caught my attention, so I might jump into that soon.
That said, there are so many great games releasing lately that it's hard to stick with just one, let alone go back to Minecraft. Even so, it's a game I've been playing since the early beta days, long before Microsoft owned the franchise, so I know it's only a matter of time before I end up jumping back in.
Enough about my thoughts, though. I'd love to hear what you think about this feature and whether it'll make a difference to the way you play Minecraft. Let me know in the comments below, and as always, be sure to take part in our poll below:

For horror game fans, Bloober Team is here to provide that good news, as it has revealed a new gameplay dev diary trailer for Cronos: Lazarus, an upcoming DLC expansion for its hit survival horror game, Cronos: The New Dawn.
In this expansion, you get to play as the Warden, a mysterious character who aided the player throughout the base game with new tech and clues for the story's mysteries.

Cronos: Lazarus will take you on a journey where you will get to experience the Warden's past while taking on a secret mission the Collective organization does not want you to complete, even if it has to kill you to prevent its secrets from being uncovered.
According to the dev diary trailer, the DLC expansion will be a lot more action-based than the base game, which played out like a classic survival horror game where you had to carefully manage your resources and check around every corner for enemy ambushes.
As the Warden, you will be granted a host of powerful weapons to blast enemies into bits with and new abilities to improve your chances of survival, like teleportation to avoid incoming attacks or deploying holographic decoys to distract enemies.
Don't take this to mean the DLC will be easy, however. Thanks to these new toys, enemies in Cronos: Lazarus will be more numerous and aggressive to deal with than in the base game, and underestimating them will get you killed fast.
To make matters worse, the Collective has dispatched a hunter to eliminate you similarly to Mr. X from Resident Evil 2, so you will need to master the Warden's arsenal quickly if you hope to live to see another day.
Our long-time survival horror fan, Jez Corden, even gave Cronos: The New Dawn a perfect 5/5 review for its insane story filled with twists to the sci-fi genre, gameplay that was satisfyingly panic-inducing without making your character feel too incompetent or too overpowered, and sublime art direction and performance.
With this new DLC that looks to be taking inspiration from more action-oriented horror titles like Resident Evil 4, we can't wait to jump back into the horrifying world of Cronos and finally learn the history of one of its most memorable characters when Cronos: Lazarus releases during Fall 2026 on Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC via Steam, Epic Games Store, and GOG.

Microsoft Edge just became a bit more like Google Chrome, but in a way people will probably like. Following a recent update, you can now sign in to Edge with a Google account, allowing you to bring your bookmarks, history, and other content into Edge with less work.
The change is part of a controlled rollout that began with version 150.0.4078.48 of Edge. It may take some time for it to roll out to your system.
We've known about this addition for a while. A Microsoft 365 Roadmap entry revealed the update last month. But now, it is shipping to everyone rather than just being in the works.
Microsoft Edge (July 2026 Update): Feature Updates
Clarify choices surrounding third-party cookie settings. Language under 'Settings > Privacy, search, and services > Cookies' is updated to better describe the choices users have when managing third-party cookies.
Sign in to Edge with a Google account. Users can now sign in to Microsoft Edge using a Google account in addition to a Microsoft account from the profile menu and Edge sign-in screen. Available for Windows and macOS devices. Admins can control availability of this feature using the NonMicrosoftAccountSignInEnabled policy. Note: This is a controlled feature rollout. If you don't see this feature, check back as we continue our rollout.
Intune MAM Protected Downloads. The protected downloads feature for Intune MAM now saves downloaded files to the 'Documents > Microsoft Edge > Downloads' folder in OneDrive.
Enterprise WebView2 runtime downgrade via DowngradeVersion policy. Starting with Microsoft Edge version 150, enterprises can actively use the 'DowngradeVersion' policy to downgrade WebView2 applications. Administrators can temporarily roll back specific applications to a previous WebView2 Evergreen Runtime version (N-1 or N-2) using the new 'DowngradeVersion' policy in msedgewebview2.admx. The policy allows enterprises to mitigate critical regressions by specifying per-application executable-to-version mappings. The Edge Updater installs the target version side-by-side, and the WebView2 Loader redirects targeted applications accordingly. Downgrades automatically expire with each new WebView2 release. Applications pinned to N-1 remain on the same version (now becoming N-2) and automatically update in the next release, while applications pinned to N-2 revert to the current Evergreen Runtime. The policy applies only to enterprise-managed devices (domain-joined or MDM-enrolled). For more information, see Microsoft Edge WebView2 Policy Documentation.
Update to the "View in File Explorer" feature. When the ConfigureViewInFileExplorer policy is enabled, the View in File Explorer feature can be used in SharePoint document libraries. Microsoft Edge has updated the feature to enforce additional validation and restrictions when triggered by webpages to improve security.
Security Update Alerts in the Edge management service. Administrators can choose a severity threshold and receive alerts when a new Microsoft Edge update includes security fixes that meet or exceed that level, including zero-day fixes. This helps organizations quickly identify updates that may require attention while avoiding unnecessary notifications for routine releases. Note: This experience is in public preview and is available by opting in to Targeted Release in the Microsoft 365 admin center. For more information, see Monitoring dashboard.
Microsoft also shared some reminders about changes to Edge, including the Sidebar app list being retired.
Originally, Microsoft did not plan to integrate Google services into Microsoft Edge. But the company seems to have shifted its stance following feedback over the years.
You don't need a Microsoft account to use Edge, but until now, you did need one to sync your data. Supporting Google account sign-ins lets you have a fuller browsing experience without having to use a Microsoft account.
