Explication des normes de cartes SD (ou micro SD, c’est pareil).
Quand une connectique s’étend sur 15 ans (comme l’a fait l’USB), pas de doute que les normes évoluent, mais restent dans le flou derrière un nom identique.
Explications pas trop mal que j’ai trouvé :

PS : La grosse différence à partir de l’UHS-2, c’est qu’il y a des connecteurs en plus (au dos), cela augmente la vitesse du bus (du transfert). Donc c’est assez visible. Pour le reste, il faut connaître tous ces noms barbares.

FOSDEM 2016 - Interview with Leah Woods<br/>Libreboot - free your BIOS today!. Free (libre) boot firmware based on coreboot.
▻https://archive.fosdem.org/2016/interviews/2016-leah-woods
Free boot firmware is as important as having a free operating system. The same arguments can be made about security, freedom and reliability that you can make about free operating systems. The struggle is much harder in the boot firmware level, because there are far less people working on it, and far less people interested in it. We also face much harder resistance from hardware manufacturers, especially Intel and AMD.
Free Software Foundation kritisiert AMD und Intel Intel Management Engine

Intels Management Engine steckt auch hinter der Funktion Boot Guard, die die Installation von Coreboot/Libreboot verhindert.
Die Entwickler der offenen BIOS-Alternative Libreboot warnen vor Intels proprietärer Management Engine und dem Platform Security Processor von AMD.
In einem Blog-Eintrag warnt die Free Software Foundation (FSF) vor Intels Management Engine (ME): Sie steckt in allen aktuellen Intel-Systemen, läuft mit proprietärer Software und hat Zugriff auf wichtige Teile des Computers. Intel realisiert mit der ME unter anderem DRM-Funktionen und ermöglicht es PC-Herstellern mit Boot Guard, die Installation von (UEFI-)BIOS-Alternativen wie Coreboot zu verhindern. Laut FSF ist die Entwicklung einer freien Firmware-Alternative für die ME „praktisch unmöglich“.
Die FSF lässt in ihrem Blog auch Leah Woods von minifree.org (früher gluglug.org.uk) zu Wort kommen, die Hauptentwicklerin, Autorin und Gründerin der Coreboot-Distribution Libreboot. Sie warnt: „Die ME bedroht Freiheit, Sicherheit und Privatsphäre“.
Libreboot ist seit Mitte Mai ein GNU-Projekt. Auf der FAQ-Seite veröffentlichen die Macher unter den Tags #intelbastards und #amdbastards harsche Kritik an den Herstellern von x86-Prozessoren. Demnach verweigern beide Firmen die Kooperation mit Libreboot, AMD wird darüber hinaus als inkompetent bezeichnet.
AMD baut mit „Secure Technology“ beziehungsweise dem Platform Security Processor (PSP) auf Basis eines ARM Cortex-A5 mit TrustZone und spezieller Firmware – wohl teilweise von Trustonic – Funktionen in alle aktuellen Prozessoren ein, die den DRM- und „Verdongelungsfunktionen“ der Intel-ME gleichen.
She (Leah Rowe) was also here in 2017 : ▻https://video.fosdem.org/2017/K.1.105/libreboot.vp8.webm

60 Free Film Noir Movies | Open Culture
►http://www.openculture.com/free_film_noir_movies
During the 1940s and 50s, Hollywood entered a “noir” period, producing riveting films based on hard-boiled fiction. These films were set in dark locations and shot in a black & white aesthetic that fit like a glove. Hardened men wore fedoras and forever smoked cigarettes. Women played the femme fatale role brilliantly. Love was the surest way to death. All of these elements figured into what Roger Ebert calls “the most American film genre” in his short Guide to Film Noir. In this growing list, we gather together the noir films available online. They all appear in our big collection 1,150 Free Movies Online: Great Classics, Indies, Noir, Westerns, etc.. You might also enjoy perusing our list of 20+ Free Hitchcock Films.
Les fichiers ne fonctionnent pas tous. J’ai testé seulement les trois premiers : le 1 ne fonctionne pas (vidéo retiré), le 2 m’envoie sur un site de streaming qui me demande mon numéro de téléphone, le troisieme j’ai le son sans l’image...
c’est un chouette lien quand même merci @hlc
Je n’ai pas eu le temps de voir les films eux-mêmes... mais l’idée de considérer les films noirs comme « un genre typiquement américain » me plaît bien. Je note aussi des repérages « pour plus tard » (en général avec le hastag #repérage que j’ai oublié ici)
