To remember in the news
The US Department of Commerce has just extended its "entity list" to 80 Chinese groups: these groups will no longer be able to source the latest generation of semiconductors. This constitutes a first measure by the Trump administration, which is continuing the policy pursued for years by Washington to stifle China's technological development. Note that a French company is also on this list.
Bouygues Telecom wants to improve wireless speeds at home. The internet service provider will permanently abandon Wi-Fi 5 technology, which is no longer really suited to the needs of connected homes: the entry-level white Bbox will soon be retired.
YouTube is testing two new features reserved for Premium subscribers: video suggestions that are added to your playlist and a new, almost superhuman playback speed.
Waze is abandoning Google Assistant on iOS in favor of a new voice system based on Gemini. The app promises smoother interactions for drivers.
By equipping its portable headset with all-magnesium speakers, Focal wants to improve it even further. At 1,200 euros, it still has a few flaws, but we'll gladly forgive them.
