Piracy explores the intellectual property wars from the advent of print culture in the fifteenth century to the reign of the Internet in the twenty-first. Brimming with broader implications for today’s debates over open access, fair use, free culture, and the like, Johns’s book ultimately argues that piracy has always stood at the center of our attempts to reconcile creativity and commerce—and that piracy has been an engine of social, technological, and intellectual innovations as often as it has been their adversary.
From Cervantes to Sonny Bono, from Maria Callas to Microsoft, from Grub Street to Google, no chapter in the story of piracy evades Johns’s graceful analysis in what will be the definitive history of the subject for years to come.

L’informatique est une science diverse ! Ce jeu est l’occasion de présenter des figures importantes qui ont travaillé et travaillent à façonner la discipline et à la faire évoluer au cours du temps.
Le format « jeu de 7 familles » permet de mettre en lumière 42 (+1) personnalités, et de montrer que l’Histoire de l’informatique ne se résume pas à celle des ordinateurs. L’informatique se développe à travers une communauté scientifique qui fait vivre la discipline et interagit avec d’autres. Nous proposons dans ce jeu de découvrir 7 de ses grandes thématiques.
Au travers de 12 portraits de chercheuses, enseignantes-chercheuses et ingénieures dans les sciences du numérique, croquées par le crayon de Léa Castor, CNRS Sciences informatiques a souhaité mettre en avant la diversité des recherches en sciences du numérique et contribuer à briser les stéréotypes qui dissuadent les femmes de s’engager dans cette voie.
Il n’est pas rare que les DSI se plaignent d’augmentations significatives des coûts de licences et des abonnements, sans réaliser que nous sommes victimes d’un système.
Tout, dans le marketing autour des outils informatiques et dans les choix stratégiques nationaux, incite à une augmentation de la dépendance vis-à-vis des fournisseurs : doctrine « cloud au centre », applications qui, du jour au lendemain, ne sont plus accessibles qu’en mode Software as a Service (SaaS), licences qui ne sont plus disponibles que sous forme d’abonnement…
The Timex Sinclair 1000 (ZX81) is a charmingly limited computer from 1982. It has one of the worst keyboards of all time, and it begs for you to DIY something better. Many people have have already created improved keyboards and cases, but I wanted to try my hand. I figured there are enough chunky, old computers out there though; I want to make something thin and sleek.

"As I had been unable to find a comprehensive list of #Apple II peripheral cards and given the evident interest in these cards (frequent Apple II family card sales on eBay and a growing Facebook Apple II Cards group), I wrote a program, called Card Cat, in Apple II Pascal and 6502 assembly language that scans peripheral card slots, determines if a slot contains a firmware equipped card and analyzes the card’s firmware."

Les passionnés d’informatique vintage le savent bien, chaque machine a ses secrets et ses mystères, particulièrement quand on parle des Macs des années 90.
Et justement, ça tombe bien, puisqu’une découverte plutôt insolite vient d’être faite concernant le Macintosh LC III d’Apple. La bestiole contient un condensateur monté à l’envers en usine ! Cette erreur de conception, longtemps suspectée par certains collectionneurs, vient enfin d’être formellement documentée.

I have lived in an apartment that caught fire, a house where the basement flooded, another basement apartment that suffered frequent flooding whenever it rained, and just when I thought I was safe in a 20th floor high rise the sprinkler system malfunctioned and flooded several floors.
I've been fortunate enough to avoid catastrophic data loss from these events, but I've been wanting to set up a 3-2-1 backup strategy before my luck runs out. This means having three copies of your data stored on two different forms of media (like an external hard drive or another ZFS storage pool) and importantly, one copy off-site.
This article will focus on the off-site portion, and I've settled on BorgBackup to a remote Raspberry Pi.
"The Windows 10 update cliff is coming in October 2025. We've explained why that's a big deal, and we have a comprehensive guide to updating to Windows 11 (recently updated to account for changes in Windows 11 24H2) so you can keep getting security updates, whether you're on an officially supported PC or not.
But this is more than just a theoretical exercise; I've been using Windows 11 on some kind of "unsupported" system practically since it launched to stay abreast of what the experience is actually like and to keep tabs on whether Microsoft would make good on its threats to pull support from these systems at any time.
Now that we're three years in, and since I've been using Windows 11 24H2 on a 2012-era desktop and laptop as my primary work machines on and off for a few months now, I can paint a pretty complete picture of what Windows 11 is like on these PCs. As the Windows 10 update cliff approaches, it's worth asking: Is running "unsupported" Windows 11 a good way to keep an older but still functional machine running, especially for non-technical users?"

Long before the Internet connected the planet and changed nearly evertying, there was a brave and pioneering band of computer users who spent their time, money and sanity setting up their home computers and phone lines to welcome anyone who called. They called these places "Bulletin Board Systems," or BBSes. And their collections of messages, rants, thoughts and programs became the way that an entire generation learned about being online.
Many computer users got their start with the #TRS-80, the #Tandy Color Computer, or the Model 100 portable computer.
