« Le présent document décrit un clavier informatique particulièrement adapté à la saisie de la langue française dans un contexte multilingue où le recours à d’autres langues latines est fréquent. Pour atteindre cet objectif, deux dispositions sont proposées qui laissent le choix entre deux dispositions de clavier : l’une très proche de la disposition AZERTY traditionnelle (qui n’a jamais fait l’objet d’une Norme française), et l’autre s’appuyant sur la disposition ergonomique BÉPO ».

Une solution simple si jamais : le clavier suisse (QWERTZ), qui est tout simplement excellent !

« Apps like Uber and Waze have been criticized for forcing users to grant them full access to a phone’s location status even when the app is not being used in order to operate. As we wrote last year, that raises the potential for them to quietly collect background information on users, even though Uber, for one, has played that suggestion down. Those days will soon be over for many users thanks to a new setting in iOS 11 that introduces the “While Using The App” location setting for all apps ».

« Today, with our partners at Environmental Defense Fund (EDF) and Aclima, we’re sharing the first results of an endeavor we started in 2015: to measure air quality using Aclima equipment mounted on Google Street View cars. You can now see maps for Oakland, CA, released by EDF, of nitric oxide (NO), nitrogen dioxide (NO2) and black carbon—pollutants emitted from cars, trucks and other sources that can affect our health and our climate ».
