Bricolons.org : La communauté française dédié au bricolage et au Do It Yourself (DIY). 70 Things Every Computer Geek Should Know. The term ‘geek’, once used to label a circus freak, has morphed in meaning over the years. What was once an unusual profession transferred into a word indicating social awkwardness. As time has gone on, the word has yet again morphed to indicate a new type of individual: someone who is obsessive over one (or more) particular subjects, whether it be science, photography, electronics, computers, media, or any other field. A geek is one who isn’t satisfied knowing only the surface facts, but instead has a visceral desire to learn everything possible about a particular subject. How to become a real computer Geek?

Installer le firmware DD-WRT sur une fonera 2100 sous linux La fonera est le routeur utilisé par la communauté FON. Le routeur est livré avec un firmware réalisé par FON et basé sur OpenWRT. On peut reflasher un firmware alternatif sur le routeur, comme DD-WRT. Cet article a pour but de vous aider à le faire sur une fonera (version 2100 dans notre cas). On va voir comment le faire et cela sans ouvrir la Fonera (donc sans utiliser un cable série branché sur le port JTAG de la fonera). Pour réaliser cette mise-à-jour, on va se connecter directement sur la fonera. Il faut ensuite un serveur tftp. Il faut aussi un serveur HTTP (apache fera très bien l’affaire). sudo apt-get install apache2 Nous avons maintenant besoin de la dernière version du firmware de notre routeur que nous copierons à la racine du serveur TFTP (/var/lib/tftpboot dans le cas du serveur tftpd-hpa sous Debian). Il faut ensuite télécharger les logiciels suivants : - out.hex - openwrt-ar531x-2.4-vmlinux-CAMICIA.lzma Il faut se conecter sur la fonera en ssh ssh root@169.254.255.1 cd /tmp

Timo Récemment je suis tombé sur la marque de téléphones Wiko. C’est une marque qui fait des smartphones pour des prix plus que compétitifs (entre 80 et 200 €). Personnellement je me trimbalais avec un téléphone à clapet en plus d’un lecteur MP4-WiFi-GPS. Je cherchais un moyen de combiner tout ça en un seul appareil, mais je n’avais pas vraiment envie de perdre 600 € dans un Samsung ou autre Sony : c’est beaucoup trop cher. Pour mes besoins (téléphone débloqué avec les fonctions classiques pour pas cher et solide), je n’avais pas trouvé grand chose, sauf quand je suis tombé sur Wiko. Eux ils font tout ça pour moins de 200 €. Suite à quelques recherches, j’ai appris que certains modèles semblaient avoir des problèmes, mais des retours que j’ai eu, la grande majorité étaient très satisfaits. Les caractéristiques n’ont pas grand chose à envier aux autres marques : Pour ceux qui veulent un test complet, voici celui des Numériques, qui est assez précis et correcte.
