Jeff Bezos bought The Washington Post for $250 million in 2013. In the newsroom, Bob Woodward asked Bezos a simple question: Why? “I finally concluded that I could provide runway—financial runway—because I don’t think you can keep shrinking the business,” Bezos said. “You can be profitable and shrinking. And that’s a survival strategy, but it ultimately leads to irrelevance, at best. And, at worst, it leads to extinction.”

Beaucoup de bêtises partagées sur l’USB-C en Europe depuis hier. Plusieurs rappels importants : - l’USB-C est un connecteur, pas une norme. On peut faire de l’USB 2.0, de l’USB4, du MiniDisplay ou du Thunderbolt en USB-C. - l’Europe ne force pas l’USB-C, mais un connecteur universel. Si le consortium en charge de l’USB décide de faire de l’USB-D rond un jour, alors la Commission européenne prendra acte et entamera une transition (j’avais interviewé un député là-dessus en 2017). - l’USB-C n’est obligatoire que sur les produits qui se rechargent avec un fil. Si une marque veut créer un produit ultra-fin sans chargeur physique, elle peut faire du sans-fil total. - Les marques peuvent proposer deux câbles si elles le souhaitent, tant qu’un des deux est USB-C. Exemple : les ordinateurs qui supportent USB-C et propriétaire, parfois avec plus de puissance sur le propriétaire (indispensable sur le gaming). On peut critiquer l’Europe et son côté frein à l’innovation, je suis le premier à le faire, notamment sur le DMA ou l’AI Act que je pense être des aberrations à bien des niveaux. Mais critiquer pour critiquer, ce n’est pas constructif. Sauf preuve du contraire : tout le monde est content d’avoir un iPhone en USB-C. Et mêmes les marques ne s’en plaignent plus. La réglementation n’est pas parfaite, car elle ne force pas de l’USB rapide partout par exemple (et laisse des marques chinoises avoir des standards de recharge propriétaire). Ou elle n’est pas assez clair sur les chargeurs vendus avec les produits. Mais dire que forcer l’USB-C va ralentir l’innovation, c’est une mauvaise foi totale.

One port, one cable, one Europe. This holiday, unwrap the power of one: USB-C for all. Yes, not just phones, tablets, and laptops. In three years, every charger will be under the same tree. Because less waste, smarter choices, mean more for everyone, all year long. link.europa.eu/QDMFTh

Stuart Dowell@StuartDowell_·
A shocking part of the Trump–Russia "peace plan" isn’t just what it does to Ukraine. It is what it quietly does to Poland. Buried in point 9 is a sentence that looks harmless: European fighters will be stationed in Poland. On paper, that sounds fine. In practice, though, it looks like Washington and Moscow have agreed over Poland’s head to limit the presence of foreign forces on Polish soil, including US forces, and to put a ceiling on NATO air power over the region. If “European fighters” are explicitly named, the obvious Russian reading is simple: no US jets in Poland. And if Russia is co-signing language that defines who and what can be stationed here, it is also a de facto say over NATO air policing in the Baltics and the rest of the eastern flank. That is not “Pax Americana.” That is the US accepting a Russian veto over the security posture of front-line allies. For Polish politics this hits a very specific nerve. For years, Jarosław Kaczyński and now President Karol Nawrocki have built their doctrine on one core idea: forget Brussels, forget Berlin, our security rests on a direct, privileged relationship with Washington. For a country that has spent a decade telling itself that American power is the only real guarantee, that should be a brutal wake-up call.

In 2019, on Trump’s orders, a @USNavy SEAL Team snuck into North Korea to try to plant a device to monitor Kim Jong-un’s communications. A wild story about how the mission went wrong, leaving unarmed North Koreans dead, but no listening device in place. nytimes.com/2025/09/05/us/…

This week, Lithuanian engineers placed dragon’s teeth at unused border checkpoints with Belarus & Russia. Together with other national institutions, we will continue assessing key border areas where mobility will also be restricted in the future.
