STANK FACE 4/3/24

some stuff on here that takes me back to stank face roots - pusha t young thug 03 greedo especially.

listening to 'whatever dude' and 'dizzy' back to back is a trip - so crazy as well as heartbreaking to hear how confident and charismatic ritchie and groggs were on their debut, and so much fun to hear the age, wisdom, confidence, and joy from riTchie now .

it's been 6 years and 'BERLIN' still makes me feel like getting hit in the head by a battering ram i love it so much. bearface chorus still an all timer for me. 'slug' is so great love how pretty it is while still sounding like its slipping and sliding everywhere. can't wait for whatever this project is.

played 'the climb' off of the cd and felt like an epic physical media wizard. that song is also still an absolute heater and so many quotable bars i can't even count.

anyway stank face bangers only etc.

warnings: minor injuries, vulgar language

author's note: okayyy, i know i said this was fluff & the warnings seem otherwise, but i swear there's fluff!!

_____________

matt breathed in deeply, looking at himself in the mirror before muttering, "final game of the season, you got this."

"stay calm." he added on, knowing that every time he was on the court he would get a little crazy.

but it's not like it was his fault, the referees were just blind as hell and didn't even know the difference between pivoting with the ball and traveling.

or maybe it was him. whatever, even if it was he wouldn't dare to admit it.

"hurry up, boys! gotta get you kids out there for some warm-ups," coach yelled, his voice echoing off the walls of the locker room.

matt sighed, closing his eyes and taking one more deep breath before throwing his jersey on.

04, under the number was the name of his school, WESTFIELD HS.

"matt!" chris's voice broke the brunette boy out of his trance, looking over his shoulder before turning around fully to look at his brother.

matt couldn't help crack a smile at the excited expression on his brothers face, his eyes bright and his smile big.

"what's up?" matt said, running a hand through his hair.

chris straightened our his jersey, number 03, before looking back up at matt and speaking, "oh. nothing, just wanted to check up on you, you nervous?"

matt nodded, "yeah, but i'm still hopeful. the other team isn't all that, either, but we still need to be strong. and aggressive."

chris nodded, his facial expression serious now, "yeah. hey, let's go to the team, give them a pep talk?"

_____________

"bring it in wildcats!" matt called, and the team was quick to get together, chris going over to matt's side immediately.

the players looked around at one another, giving knowing looks and muttering quiet encouragements.

"hey, today isn't any different than our other games. we always come to win, and what do we always do?" matt asked, and the team responded proudly:

"win!"

matt smiled, "yes, exactly! we need to play with energy and sportsmanship, no matter how pissed the other team gets you. and above all, we need to play aggressive and fast." chris nodded at his brother, his eyes scanning his other teammates.

"so, we're gonna play all the basics. 2-3, box, etcetera. now, everybody knows that the other team isn't that good, they've lost a majority of their games this season and the main reason for it was them not being on defense."

matt inhaled deeply, "some of us have a bit of a problem with that, too, so, we need to always, and i mean always be on our man. everybody just goes to the ball and leaves the other team open."

a boy on the team nodded, knowing that the comment was mainly directed to him.

"even if we don't win, we're still the wildcats, and we'll always have our confidence. no matter what." matt encouraged, giving soft smiles to his team.

"preach, matt." chris laughed, earning some smiles from his teammates.

matt rolled his eyes before putting his fist out, leading the whole team to do the same thing, "wildcats on three!"

"1, 2, 3, wildcats!" the team roared, voices echoing off the gym walls as they parted ways, some players going on the bench and some going onto the court.

coach smiled at matt, giving him a thumbs up before matt went to jog on the court.

matt's attention was quickly turned to the crowd on the other side of the court, his eyes immediately landing on you.

you waved, giving him a thumbs up with your free hand as he waved back.

chris was in the middle, his eyes never leaving the ball as the referee raised it in the air.

matt went into his defense position, getting low and in front of a player from the opposing team.

the tension was high as the gym fell silent, only the sound of quiet buzzing from the scoreboard heard.

then, the referee put the whistle to his lips, and blew. he dropped the ball, and chris swiftly smacked it behind the opponent and into his teammates hands.

"let's go wildcats!" was heard from the sidelines, and as matts teammate dribbled the ball up court and shot a lay-up, the crowd erupted in roars and screams.

well, this was gonna be an easy win.

_____________

this wasn't gonna be a very easy win.

matt groaned in frustration as the ref called a foul on him. he hadn't even touched his opponent!

the wildcats and sharks were neck and neck, 30-30, the scoreboard read.

the opponents coach had waited until they were losing by a lot to put in his best players, and now the wildcats were on the brink of losing a game.

"shit," matt muttered as number 08 on the other team ran up the court.

he pushed himself to run with all his strength, and as nunber 08 went to score, matt jumped up to try and block the shot.

number 23 on the opposite team pushed matt with all his strength, sending him flying onto the floor face first.

he landed on face, his knees sliding on the freshly waxed gym floors.

a loud roar of anger was heard from the wildcats, and the whistle blew many times before the gym was shut up.

"fuck, fuck, fuck!" matt groaned in pain, holding his nose as he breathed heavily.

nick, taking the pictures of the basketball team for school, quickly raced down the bleachers and to his brothers aid.

chris did, too, worry evident on his face as he patted matts back, "you're okay, matt, c'mon, get up."

nick helped matt to sit on his butt, carefully grabbing his chin and noticing his bloody nose.

"it's fine, you'll be okay. we're gonna get up on three, alright?"

matt nodded, groaning as he stood up on the count of three.

his knees ached and so did his nose. shit, there was no way he was going to be able to have more playing time.

sure, his teammates were good, but matt was the best player on the team.

nick and chris walked matt to the sidelines, letting him sit down on the bench before nick handed him his water bottle.

"you okay?" chris asked, tilting his head a bit.

matt nodded, his head fuzzy with frustration.

the game went on, and number 23 got benched & fouled. 1 more foul for the sharks and the wildcats would get two free throws.

1 more basket and the wildcats would win.

the game was getting heated, and people the opposing team were screaming at their teammates.

it had only taken a few missed shots from the wildcats to get matt stirred up, and he shot up from his seat, walking to coach with a passion.

"put me in." he demanded, and in any other circumstance, he would've crumbled in fear at the way his coach looked at him.

he cocked an eyebrow, "you're hurt, matt, we can't risk it."

matt grumbled, looking down at his feet as he balled his hands into fists. why not put him in? he was the best player, and the others were clearly not locked in. he needed to be in there.

"put matt in!" you and nick chanted from the bleachers, making the coach and matt himself turn their attention.

the chant caught on quickly with the rest of the wildcats, even the players that were on the court, currently on timeout.

matt smiled sweetly at you, and you just cheered for him, your heart melting at the way he looked at you.

the brunette boy turned back to his coach, not daring to break eye contact again. he took deep breaths, trying to control himself as he asked once more:

"can you put me in, coach? please." he asked, and this time, coach didn't hesitate to nod.

the people controlling the scoreboard wasted no time in subbing out a worse player for matt, and the brunette boy ran onto the court, determined to win.

the game started back up again quickly, and matt was quick to steal the ball when 06 on sharks were passing the ball in.

he ran down the court, his legs burning and his throat dry. the crowd cheered loudly, and so did his teammates.

even over all the other voices, the only one he listened to was yours, you were the only one he cared about.

he jumped up, the ball rolling off his hand and going up into the air.

matt drowned everybody out, his breathing heavy and his legs tired. the ball spun around the rim not once, not twice, but three times before it fell into the basket and dropped to the floor.

matts eyes widened, and he could finally hear everything. cheers erupted from the wildcats and the coach for the sharks threw his clipboard down.

"holy shit. oh my god!" matt yelled, the realization that he had won the game finally hitting him.

you didn't hesitate to scramble off the bleachers and onto the court, wanting to be the first one to speak to him.

you jumped into his arms, almost sending him falling to the floor, but he steadied himself and wrapped his arms around you tightly.

"you won, baby! im so proud of you." you muttered into his shoulder, and he smiled.

"thank you." he whispered.

_____________

matt and you sat at a booth in a local diner, drinking celebratory milkshakes.

you couldn't help but smile as he drank it, putting the cup to his lips before putting it back down, leaving whipped cream on his upper lip.

"what?" he questioned before licking his lips, and you couldn't help but laugh softly.

"nothing. just wanted to look at you. you literally just won the state championships, can i not be proud of you?"

matt smiled softly, hiding his face as he blushed.

"couldn't have done it without my favorite person." he praised, reaching his hand out to yours that was on the table.

   ❝No,❞ Rae muttered against his shoulder. She shifted slightly and looped her arm through Matt's bent elbow, loosely holding onto him. Her eyes tracked the movement of his hand as he sketched. ❝I'm just ... comfortable ...❞ a hesitant pause followed before she let out a soft sigh and added, much more quietly, ❝... and I miss you.❞

   She didn't exactly sound tired, but something more akin to relaxed, at ease. What they were doing was undoubtedly the right thing to do and she was thankful that she'd finally managed to break through the barrier of manipulation and belief his grandfather had been building into his mind since he was a child. Regardless, it was difficult — not only because moments like these now felt like they were stolen fleetingly, but because Rae knew there was nothing she could do to protect him.

   Matt could take care of himself, she knew that, but ... she couldn't stop herself from worrying about him. Her Da had warned them both how difficult this would be — it meant the world to her that her parents were helping them and Rae didn't think they'd be able to handle this without them, but ... on the bright side, she'd begun to see a side of Matt that she'd only caught glimpses of before. The parts of him that he kept hidden in order to please and to survive his situation.

   She loved watching him draw, too. Rae had rarely gotten to actually just ... sit and watch him and, truly, he was indeed mesmerizing to watch. A small smile curled at her lips and she nuzzled into his shoulder just slightly. While her left arm was looped through his, her right hand rested idly against the inside of his elbow. ❝Have you ever used paints or anything? ❞ Maybe she was asking because she'd had a passing thought once or twice about how good his style of the setting sun over Ketterdam would look if he'd painted it. It'd look incredible with his other mediums too of course, but ...

@esotericdescent said: “[ relax ] sender rests their head on receiver's shoulder while they talk ( from Rae, but - idk if I'm jumping too far ahead lmfao just ... *clenches fist* so cute ..... )" {♚ x PROMPTS FOR COMFORTABLE INTIMACY ||  Accepting x}

 There was no doubt that he was doing the right thing. Now. Finally. And no matter how difficult, Matt was determined to pull through with it. There were several sacrifices he had to make along the way, but he was willing to make them all in an attempt to right the wrongs he had done. In an attempt to refuse to become the monster he had been raised to be.

 The hardest sacrifice, however, was not being able to see Rae as often as he was used to. Sneaking out had always been difficult, but Matt was under more scrutiny now than ever before. So their meetings were few and far between. Having temporarily dropped out of University, they were lucky if they got to see each other once a week, in the middle of the night, preferably on the rooftops of Ketterdam where no one else would be able to see them.

 Tonight was one of those nights. And, as though the Saints were on their side, the sky was clear and the weather mild. The chimney they were leaning against gave off a comfortable heat as they talked about anything and everything. Well… Everything, but all the things currently weighing heavily on his mind. There was a time and place for that, but tonight wasn’t it. He just wanted to enjoy the time he got to spend with her, and he had no intention of ruining it by bringing down the mood.

 In his lap, Matt had a small bone light, as well as the well-worn sketchbook he always carried on him in case he got a chance to use it. He’d been mindlessly sketching in it, but was focused enough that it took him a few seconds to realize that Rae had stopped talking. Just as he was about to turn his head to look at her, he felt a weight on his shoulder and froze in place. He didn’t have to see it to know it was her head. His heart skipped a couple of beats at that realization and, for several moments, he wasn’t sure what to do. In the end, he simply exhaled and continued drawing. For Saint’s sake, chill out. She’s your best friend. She's comfortable around you. Don't ruin it.

 “Are you tired? We can wrap it up for tonight, if you want.”

«L’Ukraine est une machine à blanchir l’argent» du complexe militaro-industriel et de l’élite de Washington: le ministre de la Justice de Trump s’attaquera-t-il au clan Biden?

«Ce que veulent obtenir ces entrepreneurs de la défense, c'est vers une guerre à faible rendement, mais à long terme, d’avoir une guerre de 20 ou 30 ans», explique Matt Gaetz.

Et que si nous avions encore l'Afghanistan pour blanchir de l'argent, il ne serait probablement pas nécessaire de s'impliquer autant en Ukraine.

Selon un rapport du FBI (https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12320527/RELEASED-FBI-document-detailing-alleged-10M-Biden-bribery-scheme-publicized-Republicans-Burisma-CEO-Zlochevsky-called-Hunter-stupid-necessary-board-dad-Vice-President-Joe-Biden-protect-problems.html), la société pétrolière et gazière ukrainienne Burisma a versé à Hunter et Joe Biden chacun 5 millions de dollars en pots-de-vin.

Maybe Sam is in the US bc the $ ?? It could also just be an old photo he just added to. I hope 🤞🏻 he’s still in Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 for Mum’s Day with his adorable Mum!!! That’s the guy I think Sam is 😉 Happy Friday @p-redux and as always thanks for your humor in indulging us Sam fans 🤪

Yeah, that's definitely a dollar sign. But it could be an old pic. I'm barely waking up, but someone mentioned he was in NY not LA. But then someone said whatever pic people were basing the NY sighting on is an old pic. Here's the comment that was left on one of my posts. It's in French, but it translates as "old photo...same outfit (t-shirt jacket bracelet) as Nov-Dec 2021 with Josh and his post from 05/03 at the Chinesetuxedo restaurant." Meaning Sam is not in NY.

I'm barely waking up, so I haven't had time to check anything. But the L.A. Chateau Marmont sighting I got was from yesterday. If it's true, then he would still be in L.A....unless he already took off or Mexico to join Matt Neal and his girlfriend.

Let me know if there's other info and I'll post if I get more. Off to pour me a cup of coffee and set an Anon from a couple of days ago straight on some fandom history. I love when people come to me to correct me, bitch, I was in the thick of it. I know that I know what I know. History class will begin in just a bit. 👩‍🏫

My stomach hasn´t been so well in the last few weeks, so I´m loaded with work and drained of energy. All I could manage to eat at school was a chicken sandwich, which I love. I had a wonderful time yesterday, since I was feeling better and the sky was a clear deep blue. I will change my habits. I will get better. I am on my way. This is not over. I´ve also been reading How To Stop Time by Matt Haig, I am enjoying it.

Tom Ford (Fat Body)

There truly never can be enough Tom Ford figs in the world! So I was happy to scoop up these two little well-dressed men in this cute "fat body" style.

The inspiration for these figs of course is this epic picture:

I've written about the Tom Ford event before, so I won't repeat myself, but you can check out the prior Tom Ford figs I've posted about if you're interested here and here.

Here's some pics for fig outfit comparison purposes:

The background for these figs is a dual sided diorama that is based off of this background:

Let me get a full image of it -

There we go. Tom Ford's signature does look a bit like a stylized Junzhe, doesn't it?

The yellow lettering says (as always, poorly machine translated):

Orange Peel Civil Affairs Bureau Marriage Registry

I love it!

This diorama is actually the other side of this:

Which of course you've seen before. I realized my mistake when I bought these that I had only bought 1. I like both sides and I have figs for both sides! I had to snag a second one when the remainders came available so I can have both sides displayed.

These two are so nicely detailed! Please take a look at the dog and cats in their eyes, so cute!

Zhehan's whole outfit has just a wealth of wonderful little touches. For something as casual as this jacket, there's actually has a lot going on. There's the mesh layer to it, the hanging tag on his zipper, and of course the light tan edging setting off the light blue. We also have all this fantastic detail on his belt and shoes.

Haha I love them pointing at each other like this, it's so cute! We've got Junjun's normal slim silhouette and Zhehan's more curvy one.

The figs stand up just fine on their own, despite their even larger than normal heads. Quality fig engineering, and I also think the body style provides a sturdier base.

I know Gong Jun's flowered shirt has given factories difficulties before. It looks sharp and beautifully detailed here. This is also a great angle to see the mesh on the back of Zhehan's hoodie.

Oops! I missed an angle! I'll leave this as a placeholder and come back to it.

I like the slouchiness of the jacket riding up with Zhehan's hand in his pocket.

Their hair also looks great. We get Junjun's styled look and Zhehan's shorter sides / longer top artfully tousled hair.

And we're back around! This isn't their position in the pics, but I think it always looks a bit different to have them standing in different places. You can see that Junjun is just a smidge taller than Zhehan.

Zhehan's belt even has a bit of a 3-D effect. This is a really nice set of figs.

We can really see Zhehan's tousled hair here! I love it.

Here's a comparison of the fat body style next to the more typical fig style. I love all the styles! I have to say I wish all figs had the larger feet, it would really make it much easier for standability and / or fig stickers.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Alright, everything beyond this is a discussion not around the figs but around the actual lipstick our two faves sold. I'm retired as a beauty blogger (although I kind of miss it sometimes) but this is definitely beauty-blog adjacent. So click right out if that's of no interest!

For those of you sticking around, I'm going to start with these pictures:

Can I just say the photographer for this last picture is a genius?

Anyway, I take this side journey not just to post beautiful men advertising lipstick, but as I said, to actually talk about this lipstick for a few minutes. Lip Lacquer Luxe Matte in Lark 03 sold out everywhere. Like, globally. I tried to buy it too late, so despite everywhere I searched, including all my international beauty sites, I had zero luck. I mean, good for our boys, right? I'm so proud of them.

I did eventually manage to buy it from a reseller here in the US (and fairly recently, at that), but at this point of course the liquid lipstick is several years old, and I have to responsibly advise against using old makeup, no matter how pricey or beloved.

I've been checking in periodically at Tom Ford and various retailers to see if they ever plan to restock this color (why do people hate money???), and GUESS what? A couple weeks ago I searched on Sephora and I got a hit. I couldn't believe it! The item that came up was not, in fact, Lip Lacquer Luxe Matte in Lark 03 - it was the Liquid Lip Luxe Matte in Lark 121. I would actually research what the difference is between the two formulas, and do an analysis of the ingredients, but as I said, I'm retired from that (plus I have tomorrow's blog post to write!).

The color looked the same to me though, so into the cart it went. It arrived on my doorstep and sure enough, it's the exact same color.

The one on the left is the new one, and the right is the original one.

The original formulation is definitely less matte. It goes on creamy and smooth, it's really nice. It takes a little longer to dry down because of it, but that also allows you to blot it and get a nice diffuse color. The new version is slightly more liquid, sets very fast, and blotting only seems to get rid of the excess / reveal where I didn't apply evenly. I definitely like the original formulation better, but that's just my personal preference.

So this is a moon I made on my arm, with the original in the center and the new formula outside of it. You can see how even though I drew the interior moon first, it's still quite creamy, while the exterior outlines of the moon have dried down almost completely.

The color in real life is absolutely gorgeous. I'd say it's very true to the color on Gong Jun's lips in his photos. This is actually my perfect lipstick color, and I don't say this as a JZP. I have tried so many lipsticks, I can't even tell you. There's a reason I've been hunting this down so religiously.

I will say there's another red advertised in this video and it is definitely not my color at all. I wish it was! It's gorgeous:

There's two things I don't love. First, the price. $59 for a liquid lipstick is ridiculous. I searched Sephora's site by "liquid lipstick" and sorted by Price, Highest First, and guess what was at the very top of the list? Yeah, you got it in one. This literal product. Absurd. The YSL lines of lipsticks are some of my favorite and you get a gorgeous case for about half the price. For a quarter of the price (or less!) you can get an awesome formulation at Target or Ulta, or for that matter, Sephora.

Second, I also don't love lipstick as a product in general. I like to say it's because it's too fussy for me, but the truth is, I had terribly crooked teeth as a child and wore braces (twice), and I think I've never subconsciously gotten over wanting people to not look at my mouth.

Unfortunately, my lips lost the genetic dice roll and have very little natural pigment in them, and it brightens my face up to have a little bit of rosiness in my lips. So, it's nice to have a go-to color for work and going out. And I will say, I have found that it's true that there's something about putting on a fresh coat of lipstick, taking a deep breath, and going out to face the world when you have to but really don't want to.

Que se passe-t-il sur WordPress ? ☕️ Meta stockait des mots de passe en clair ! 😳 DevCafé 30/09

Après presque deux semaine ssans DevCafé, voici un épisode un peu plus long et qui revient notamment sur la polémique dans l’écosystème WordPress et qui fait s’affronter Automattic (la société du cofondateur et de WordPress.com) et de WP Engine (un hébergeur bien connu). On reviendra aussi sur une amende infligée à groupe Meta pour avoir stocké en clair des mots de passe d’utilisateurs sur Facebook et Instagram. On se parlera aussi de la sortie de HarmonyOS Next, du début du Hacktoberfest qui commencera demain, de la publication de recommandations de la CNIL pour les applications mobiles… 👉 Sommaire de l’émission du 30/09 : 00:00 Introduction 01:07 Le calendrier (OpenTechCon, Hacktoberfest, conférence Samsung…) 02:54 HarmonyOS Next : reporté ? 03:49 Le CNIL publie ses recommandations autour des applications mobiles 05:12 Commission Européenne : des nouvelles têtes 06:33 Meta sanctionné pour avoir stocké des mots de passe en clair 08:22 Wordpress (Automattic) vs WP Engine : que se passe-t-il ? 13:34 ⚡️ Les actus en bref 15:59 Conclusion 👉 Liens des actualités : OpenTechCon https://opentechcon.fr/ Hacktoberfest (mois d'octobre) https://hacktoberfest.com/ Conférence Samsung (03/10) https://www.samsungdeveloperconference.com/ Apple / Epic Games https://www.theverge.com/2024/9/28/24256684/apple-epic-lawsuit-document-production-delay-denied Deals https://promo.amen.fr/domaine-et-wordpress-avec-ia Où en HarmonyOS Next ? https://www.huaweicentral.com/native-harmonyos-is-ready-for-launch-confirms-huawei/ https://www.huaweicentral.com/harmonyos-next-public-beta-program-scheduled-for-october-8/ La CNIL et les apps mobiles https://www.cnil.fr/fr/applications-mobiles-votre-vie-privee-devra-etre-mieux-protegee https://www.cnil.fr/fr/applications-mobiles-la-cnil-publie-ses-recommandations-pour-mieux-proteger-la-vie-privee Que se passe-t-il en UE ? https://cafetech.kessel.media/posts/pst_d3b3f60fbb8c48e890eb9729e7f1ba8a/la-sherif-de-la-tech-la-volte-face-de-telegram-les-ambitions-de-qualcomm?ref=0359c678-2a62-41e5-81db-d81ee6cef8c7 Meta https://www.macg.co/ailleurs/2024/09/facebook-instagram-meta-ecope-dune-amende-de-91-millions-deuros-pour-avoir-sauvegarde-des-mots-de-passe-en-clair-146229 L'histoire WordPress (Automattic) / WPEngine https://techcrunch.com/2024/09/22/matt-mullenweg-calls-wp-engine-a-cancer-to-wordpress-and-urges-community-to-switch-providers/ https://www.theverge.com/2024/9/27/24256361/wordpress-wp-engine-drama-explained-matt-mullenweg ⚡️ Fermeture du site iMore https://www.imore.com/apple/one-more-thing-goodbye-from-imore ⚡️ Où en est le Journal du Hacker ? https://blog.journalduhacker.net/index.php?article498/down-de-juillet-et-avenir-du-journal-du-hacker ⚡️ L'Italie enquête sur le green washing de Shein + licenciements https://www.scmp.com/tech/policy/article/3279987/italy-opens-greenwashing-probe-shein-website ⚡️ Activision Blizzard licencie https://wccftech.com/activision-blizzard-lay-off-hundreds-of-california-workers ⚡️ Windows Recall pourra bien être désinstallé https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/microsoft/microsoft-windows-recall-now-can-be-removed-is-more-secure ⚡️ Figma relance son IA https://alternativeto.net/news/2024/9/figma-relaunches-ai-powered-first-draft-app-generator-after-initial-backlash-over-fraud ⚡️ Google a sorti le chéquier pour faire revenir un ancien Googler https://www.businessinsider.com/google-noam-shazeer-deal-ai-talent-hiring-star-quarterbacks-i2024-9 ⚡️ Android 15 commence à débarquer sur des téléphones https://www.androidauthority.com/first-android-15-updates-3485855 ⚡️ C'est fini pour le cache Google https://www.abondance.com/20240924-683095-cache-google-definitivement-supprime.html ⚡️ … et peut être aussi Google Meet ? https://9to5google.com/2024/09/27/google-meet-android-tv-app-shutdown-soon/ ⚡️ Un ordinateur avec du parfum https://www.tweaktown.com/news/100663/asus-adol-14-air-fragrance-laptop-features-amd-ryzen-ai-9-365-apu-built-in/index.html Mots clés : #wordpress #wpengine #opensource #hacktoberfest #facebook #cnil #harmonyos #automattic En Bref : En revanche, chez Microsoft, les chiffres sont tout autre, puisqu'Activision Blizzard King qui a été racheté pour 70 milliards de dollars voit à nouveau 400 personnes êtres laissées sur le carreau en Californie. Rapide coup d'oeil chez Figma, qui avait été obligé de débrancher en urgence son IA, car elle faisait du copié/collé de contenus sous licence. Elle est désormais à nouveau accessible, mais en bêta limitée et avec quelques ajouts au programme. Et maintenant chez Google, comme on dit, il y a à boire et à manger, puisqu'on a appris que pour faire revenir le PDG de Character.AI et qui était un ancien Googler, un chèque de 2,7 milliards de dollars aurait été mis sur la table. Ensuite Android 15 a beau être sorti depuis un moment, les smartphones de Google n'en bénéficient toujours pas et la marque Vivo vient même d'être plus rapide en le proposant sur un de ses téléphones.
