As the name suggests, it ” will allow customers who feel able to carry out their own repairs by having access to original Apple tools and spare parts ”. “ Available first for the iPhone ranges 10 and iPhone 12, which will soon be followed by the range of Macs equipped with M1 chips, the Self Service Repair program will be offered from the beginning of next year in the United States, then extended to d ‘other countries throughout 2022 ”.
Apple will sell spare parts and tools necessary to perform repairs. “ People returning used parts for recycling will receive a purchase credit “, adds the maker. We will have to see the proposed prices … hoping that they will not be exorbitant and that it will not be ultimately more profitable to buy a device.
During the initial phase, the screen, the battery or the photo sensor of the phones will be available. A ramp-up with more components is planned from next year. More than 200 parts spare parts and tools will be offered.
In its press release, Apple does not hesitate to present itself as the white knight: “ Over the past three years, Apple has nearly doubled the number of repair sites with access to genuine spare parts, tools and Apple training ”. However, the manufacturer has spent years fighting against the right to repair across the Atlantic.
And it is also the evolution of the political context which accelerated the pace, the FTC having made a rather harsh report on the subject at the beginning of the year, the Biden administration having decided to act on this ground this summer. The repair community is thus welcoming the news positively, much like iFixIt, although waiting to see it put into practice. Many people call for a continuity of work aimed at setting strict and general obligations in this area.

Shortly after our test of its solution (and others), the service posted a thread on Twitter for “ give a brief technical update by centralizing some of our responses ”.
It indicates that it has corrected the first bugs, such as the speed of certain VMs which was too low “ due to a bug in ‘offloading hardware “, the reverse DNS record that was not consistent, or long VMs to create” at cause of a bad loop in house code ”.
Others still have to be resolved, such as the loss of connection of certain instances or the concern of provisioning the SSH key which requires waiting a few minutes or restarting the VM as we indicated during our test. “ Regarding information and technical details, we had many perfectly legitimate requests on this subject. A dedicated page is coming soon to our website ”, specifies the team.
She adds that she is waiting “ a little longer to tell you about our next projects We have read and listened very carefully to your requests for changes. Several trends are already emerging ”.
On the other hand, nothing has been said concerning the criticisms on the subject of the processing of personal data, or the DNS at Cloudflare by default (only on VM CentOS and Debian according to our findings).

In July 2020, if France was the first country to transpose the article 15 of the Copyright Directive, which enshrines the neighboring rights of publishers and press agencies, the transition to production has been difficult to say the least.
Google, accused in the past of hold-up or spoliation, first tried to turn the situation to its advantage by disabling extracts by default articles in its engine, it is up to press professionals to reactivate them free of charge. The case was then brought before the Competition Authority which first ordered in April 2018 Google to negotiate in good faith. Decision contested on appeal by the engine. In vain.
The digital giant was finally fined 500 million euros by the AdlC which, in July 2021, did not appreciate the non-compliance with several of its injunctions. Four months later, the hatchet is buried. Agence France-Presse and Google have just signed an agreement on these famous neighboring rights, which compensate the press for the resumption of articles, even by extracts, in particular on Google News. A partnership “ very soon to be completed by a program on the fight against disinformation “, announces the press release.
Sébastien Missoffe, CEO of Google France, preferred to greet this “ common ground with publishers and press agencies ”. For Fabrice Fries, CEO of Agence France-Presse, the agreement is above all “ a recognition of the value of information. Its product will contribute to the production of quality information and to the development of innovation within the Agency ”.
A product that will also sharpen this “ incredible” soft power “tool ”that is AFP, as the same Fabrice Fries described it in an interview with Le Monde in September 2018.
To simplify compliance, the committee has just published a repository on warehouses health data. Content classified in the category of sensitive data by the General Data Protection Regulation.
This publication, which follows a consultation launched in March 2020, will allow organizations to dispense with the imperative prior authorization of the CNIL. Thus, from now on, “ after checking the conformity of its warehouse project with respect to the repository, the organization can declare its conformity “.
” The warehouse standard only applies to health data warehouses based on the exercise of a public interest mission ”recalls the authority.
“ Certain warehouses, such as those based on the collection of the consent of the persons concerned or those which have the exclusive objective of dematerializing medical files are not subject to authorization ”. The CNIL strongly suggests that organizations follow the requirements.

With a power of 22, 2 PFLOPS for a consumption of 4, 96 megawatts, it went directly to the 14 e Top place 464 as we recently indicated. Features 12 829 EPYC processors 7763 (Zen 3, 55 C) and therefore of 829 440 cores, “ this is the largest High Performance Computing (HPC) system ever installed in the world using standard processors ”, explains Atos.
There are higher performance supercomputers in Europe – HPC5 in Italy and JUWELS Booster Module in Germany with 35, 4 and 42, 1 PFLOPS – but they run GPUs from NVIDIA (Tesla A 100 or V 100) in addition to the CPUs.
“ This new supercomputer is completely cooled by water thanks to Atos’ patented DLC (Direct Liquid Cooling) solution which uses lukewarm water at this effect. With an energy efficiency indicator PUE ~ 1 (Power Usage Effectiveness), EXA1 records the best performance on the market ”.
“ The development of such a high-level supercomputer is essential for certain defense programs that we are implementing within the CEA / DAM ”, indicates Vincenzo Salvetti, director of military applications at the Atomic Energy and Alternative Energies Commission.
More precisely, it responds “ to the needs of the Simulation program of the CEA Military Applications Department, the aim of which is to guarantee the safety and reliability of French nuclear weapons ”. For the moment, this is only the “ first partition ” of EXA1, referenced as CEA -HF in the Top 500. We do not have more details on the other upcoming scores.
