This Linky meter affair could well set a precedent
This is a great first in the Kingdom of Linky: the Valencia court has just ordered Enedis to remove the meter from an octogenarian, who suffers from hypersensitivity. If she is not the first to complain about the effects of the device, it is the first time that several doctors have agreed on the origin of her ailments and, above all, that a court has ruled in favor of the complainant. A decision that could well be a landmark among the anti-Linky.

The Windows 11 Desktop gets a 3D makeover
What if the sacrosanct Windows 11 Desktop would soon be radically changed with the help of artificial intelligence? This is what this discovery made by the Windows Latest site suggests.

Boosted with AI and natively integrated, Microsoft’s method should not experience these little hassles.
