Do you think you’re capable of reading this entire article in one sitting, without checking your phone or getting distracted? If not, you are definitely not alone (hi!). Your brain is probably fried. You’re overstimulated. You can hardly think straight. Your attention span is wrecked. You can’t stop fiddling with your smartphone. And you don’t know what to do. All that endless scrolling on social media, excessive tech use, online shopping, juggling multiple screens, video game binging, watching TV, adult entertainment, doomscrolling the news, chatting with AI chatbots, and consuming ultra-processed food has left you feeling exhausted and soulless. You’ve been giving your body and mind too much junk food, both physical and digital. The ‘solution’ to your brain fog, lack of focus, and distractedness—you’re told online, repeatedly—is to go on a short dopamine detox to beat your addictions, rewire your brain, and reset your internal reward system.

It sounds tempting. It sounds like the shortcut you need. But it’s all a bunch of baloney grounded in pseudo-scientific marketing and lucrative wellness trends. Content creators, up-and-coming entrepreneurs, and companies are attempting to sell you their products and services. Dopamine detoxes and fasts—in the form of apps, courses, and products—are often suggested, rather ironically, in posts, videos, or ads while you’re mindlessly scrolling your social media feed. Basically, you’re being offered a solution to a problem while you’re already engaging in problematic behavior (too much compulsive screen time). So, it makes the idea of going on a digital or other detox particularly relevant and seductive. 

What you’re being offered is—surprise, surprise—packaged and presented as a magical hack and genius shortcut to fixing your life. Finally! If only you can ‘purge’ your ‘bad’ dopamine with a screen-blocking app, everything will be right as rain! But things aren’t that simple. The people pitching you these detoxes misinterpret and misrepresent addiction, habit-forming, behavioral triggers, and your brain chemistry. They are trying to get you to buy a product, consume their content, or sign up for their services. In short, it’s just another day in the business world for them: entrepreneurs pushing these ‘solutions’ are looking to make a quick buck on a trending topic and don’t care about the consumer’s outcome. But for you, it might sound like salvation that never comes.

In reality, though, dopamine doesn’t cause pleasure like you’re told. You are better off redirecting your energy and time (not to mention money!) in a different direction than this fad. Let’s dive into what dopamine actually does, why what you’re told online is wrong, how to actually develop healthy habits, and what to do to fix your ailing attention span.

Dopamine is linked more to curiosity, memory, and novelty than pleasure 

Let’s make a few things very clear right out of the gate. Dopamine does not work the way that wellness trend proponents tell you it does: you cannot ‘detox’ or ‘fast’ from a naturally occurring brain chemical. A dopamine detox won’t solve all of your problems, even though it might give you much-needed space to rest. Quick health fixes don’t exist. Expensive programs and apps that promise ‘secret’ shortcuts are scams. Regardless of scam products or addictions, you should focus on embracing healthy habits: regular exercise, a balanced diet, proper sleep, hydration, time in nature, and positive relationships. At the same time, you will most definitely notice improvements in your attention span and mood if you scale back your social media and internet use. However, this is going to be a much tougher, longer, and patience-testing journey than limiting your screen time for a few days. It’s a marathon spanning months instead of a sprint. 

Dopamine, a vital chemical messenger in your brain, is misunderstood. The short version is that it keeps you moving forward by making you want things, especially those linked to unexpected success. It drives motivation, learning, memory, behavior, cognition, mood, sleep, arousal, and movement by sending signals that something important or rewarding is about to happen. This, in turn, makes you repeat helpful behaviors. 

Broadly speaking, if you have the right amount of dopamine in your system, you will feel happy, motivated, alert, and focused. Low dopamine levels, on the other hand, result in feeling tired, unmotivated, and unhappy, and in mood swings, memory loss, sleep problems, concentration issues, and a low sex drive. Too much dopamine and you feel energized, euphoric, and highly aroused, but also aggressive, dealing with poor impulse control, and having issues sleeping. You can naturally increase your dopamine levels by regularly exercising, doing yoga, meditating, walking in nature, reading a book, playing with a pet, getting a massage, etc. Having a balanced diet helps, too. 

In pop psychology, dopamine is described as a ‘pleasure chemical.’ However, this relationship is complex. Chronic drug use and long-term smoking can lead to a dysregulated dopamine system and hamper your ability to experience pleasure, known as anhedonia. However, more broadly, dopamine is what fuels your desire for rewards and is more linked to ‘wanting’ than the actual pleasure you experience. Dopamine doesn’t actually cause pleasure. Rather, it helps your brain remember which actions led to success by improving memory retention. 

The downside is that unpredictability and unexpected success—not just any success—result in bursts of dopamine. This is why endless social media feeds and gambling are so addictive. What’s more, dopamine drives restlessness instead of satisfaction. On a positive note, dopamine forces you to be curious and take action when you are bored or dissatisfied, in the search for new sources of joy. This is great for survival! “Evolution favors the restless, the unsatisfied, the novelty cravers tormented by visions of more, because that keeps them from settling into place and, in the end, ensures their greater success,” neuroscientist Nikolay Kukushkin explains.

Entrepreneurs spot a chance to get rich quick thanks to a clickbaity wellness fad

The idea of a dopamine fast or detox was coined by neuroscientist and psychiatrist Cameron Sepah, PhD, who wanted to use cognitive behavior therapy to reduce addictive, problematic, impulsive, and unhealthy behaviors. “Dopamine is just a mechanism that explains how addictions can become reinforced, and makes for a catchy title. The title’s not to be taken literally,” he said. The idea is to be more mindful of your habits and to control them rather than letting them control you. And yet, the term ‘dopamine detox’ is very clickbaity, so it continues to go viral and be misinterpreted by influencers, pop psychologists, and entrepreneurs.

There is a clear financial reward to jump on wellness trends. The global health and wellness economy is worth a whopping $6.76 trillion. The mobile meditation app market size alone is projected to grow to $7.5 billion by 2029. 

As Harvard Medical School puts it, the modern wellness industry is so lucrative that new terms and clickbaity titles are coined for concepts that have been around for literal ages.

“The original intent behind the dopamine fast was to provide a rationale and suggestions for disconnecting from days of technology-driven frenzy and substituting more simple activities to help us reconnect with ourselves and others. This idea is noble, healthy, and worthwhile, but it’s certainly not a new concept. Most religions also suggest a rest day (for example, the Jewish Sabbath) or holidays without technological distractions, so that you can reflect and reconnect with family and community, Thousands of years of meditation also suggest that a mindful approach to living reaps many health benefits.”

Dopamine is a natural substance, not a harmful toxin, so talking about ‘detoxes’ and ‘purging’ makes no sense, emphasizes neuroscientist Adrian Jacques Ambrose, MD, MPH, FAPA, at the Columbia University Medical Center. What’s more, dopamine, while essential, is just one part of your brain’s super complex reward system, so you need a more holistic approach to wellness. 

Meanwhile, activities like heavy screen time and social media use, video game binging, online shopping, eating junk food, etc. are nowhere near as harmful as heavy drug use. So, as bad as the former are, they likely do not lead to a dysregulated dopamine system. At the same time, ‘blocking’ apps that limit phone, app, social media, and internet use won’t ‘reset’ your dopamine levels to ideal levels, even though they’ll probably make you more productive. 

According to psychologist Dr. Bijal Chheda, some of the most common habits to avoid while decluttering your life include junk food, online shopping, multitasking, doomscrolling, excessive gaming, cluttered environments, and too much caffeine. For example, online shopping platforms are designed to keep you engaged via “flash sales, countdown timers, and personalized recommendations.” This so-called “urge surfing” encourages you to browse, buy, and seek instant gratification. “One way to disrupt this cycle is to pause and observe the urge rather than acting on it immediately.”

Similarly, video games feel extremely engaging, which can make work or studying seem less interesting. “Change where you play. Keeping gaming confined to a specific room or device can help prevent it from spilling into work or study time. This creates a clearer boundary in the brain between spaces associated with focus and spaces linked to entertainment,” Dr. Chheda suggests. 

Excessive caffeine consumption is something that many of us struggle with, too. A good rule of thumb is to delay caffeine for up to an hour and a half after waking up. Moreover, you should avoid caffeine after lunch so that it doesn’t impact your sleep.

Attention spans are greatly diminished, but here’s how you can strengthen yours

The bad news is that your ability to focus and concentrate has likely diminished. The good news is that this isn’t irreversible—you can rewire your brain to have an increased attention span again. According to researcher Gloria Mark and her team, the average time people can stay intentionally focused on a specific task has dropped sharply from around 2.5 minutes a couple of decades ago to a mere 40 seconds now.

In other words, this is, on average, how long you can commit to a task before you switch to something else, like checking a phone notification, email, or message. The effect is more stress, more mistakes, and less productivity. Flip-flopping between tasks exhausts your brain and stretches its cognitive resources because you’re forcing it to switch between different ‘schema.’

No matter how good you think you are at multitasking, your brain is naturally wired to prioritize information and focus on one thing at a time. If you’re constantly shifting your attention between several screens and tasks, whether for work or entertainment, you are setting yourself up for exhaustion. People who think they are good multitaskers are actually weak at attention control, filtering distractions, and switching tasks efficiently.

“We only have one flashlight. So we can’t point it to multiple things at once,” says psychology professor Amishi Jha at the University of Miami. Rapid attention switching is a “terrible way to spend our attentional resources.” It can lead to a 40% decline in productivity. 

You’re not powerless to change, though. For one, you can plan your most important work during your natural “peaks of attention.” According to Mark, you should focus during those periods and minimize interruptions. Block your social media. Silence your notifications. 

Taking intentional breaks is important, too, especially when they involve physical activity and time in nature. The pomodoro technique, where you work for 25 minutes without interruptions, followed by a 5-minute break, is one strategy to try. 

Meanwhile, you can strengthen your attention by training it. 12 minutes of mindfulness practice at least 4 times per week can improve your attention, memory, and stress resilience. When you focus on your breath or notice your mind wandering, you strengthen your ability to (re)direct your attention to what you want to focus on, no matter the distractions.

“We all know that daily physical exercise is necessary for our physical health and now we also know that there is something we can do to exercise our mind,” Jha emphasizes.

Perseverance, consistency, and a supportive environment—that’s what you need to change your habits

One of the worst things you can do is overhype yourself about the speed of habit change. It is easy to motivate yourself at the start. But real, long-lasting behavior change takes months and years, not days and weeks. What’s more, your growth won’t be linear. There will be setbacks, but you can overcome them by thinking of failure as an opportunity. Moreover, replacing one habit at a time, incrementally, is easier than quitting all tech, entertainment, and junk food cold turkey. 

How quickly you can learn a new habit depends on the complexity of the behavior, the environment, your strengths, and your consistency. Research shows that it can take between 18 and 254 days to form a new habit, with an average of 66 days or two months. The simpler the action, the easier the feedback loop. 

Say you want to get more into fitness to improve your health and longevity and replace your screen time with something more productive. If you go to the gym 4 times per week, it would take you around 6 weeks to develop this habit. The more familiar your environment, the more efficiently you can repeat actions and reinforce them.

If you have a problem with junk food, constantly checking your phone, or gaming, you can physically change your environment to begin shifting your behaviors. Lock up or throw away your snacks; put your phone in another room; hide your console. Things that aren’t immediately accessible are easier to avoid. You can use this to your advantage with strengthening healthy habits, too. If you want to work out more at home, put your equipment where you spend the most time. If you want to improve your nutrition, place a bottle of plain water on your desk next to your computer and put some healthy snacks, like fruit, vegetables, and nuts, on your kitchen counter. If you want to start fixing your damaged attention span, make long-format articles, books, and videos more accessible than short-form content. Don’t assume that you will find the willpower to be better than you were yesterday. Set yourself up for success by crafting an environment that supports you.

You should strive for living in moderation, but don’t become a monk

Meanwhile, you have to be realistic about your lifestyle, wants, and needs. For example, the odds are that your goal is likely to have a healthy relationship with your smartphone and social media, rather than become a Luddite, give up all tech outright, and move to the middle of nowhere with no electricity. Tech helps you stay connected, keeps you up to date with important news, and you probably need it for work. Movies, video games, and TV shows can be a lot of fun, not to mention the artistic value they offer or their capacity to make you think and feel. Eating a hamburger or some ice cream from time to time is good for enjoying life and gives you an excuse to connect with others. 

So, moderating and redirecting your impulses rather than completely pruning them is ideal. You want to put yourself in the best possible position where you’re able to enjoy what life has to offer without becoming addicted to those behaviors that end up exhausting you if you overdo them. The difference between a healthy and an unhealthy relationship with any behavior is intent and control. If you can’t control your impulses to use screens, allow behaviors to dominate your life, feel compelled to do something, and struggle with daily tasks, work, school, or relationships, then you likely have a problem with dependence or addiction. That’s when you need to scale back, make some life changes, and potentially reach out to a therapist for support. 

A dopamine detox and a screen-limiting app won’t fix things for you except in the very short term. What you need, instead, is a long-term plan where you reduce harmful habits and replace them with healthy ones. 

The next time you spot an influencer or ad urging you to solve your problems with a detox, think about undertaking a far more difficult and long-term project. Choose to start building healthy habits that will last you a lifetime. A detox sounds quick, trendy, and sexy. But real change requires consistent, hard work—and the results are far more worth it, too. Now that you’re here at the end of the article, be honest: do you feel an itch to check your phone? Yeah, same here! But it’s a good thing I left my phone in my bag, halfway across the office. 

Are you tired of cute cat content? What a silly question – of course you’re not! Unless you’re a dog who somehow ended up on your human’s computer, there’s no way anyone could ever get bored of funny cats and the photos shared online.

Today’s collection comes from the Brazilian Facebook page ‘What Cats Are These?’, a community dedicated to spreading some kitty joy with funny and relatable cat photos.

So, waste no more time and scroll down to enjoy these hilarious felines. From ridiculous facial expressions to finding themselves in the strangest situations, these cats always seem to create moments worth sharing.

The internet has decided that four words from Kate Middleton were apparently enough to reveal the state of her marriage to Prince William.

A viral tweet online has viewers comparing the royal couple’s birthday tributes and noting that one was short and affectionate, while the other was longer and more sentimental.

“She only sees him as a wallet or dad, not as a husband,” one commented after the differences were pointed out.

An X user put the two birthday tributes side by side to highlight the differences in how Prince William and Kate Middleton publicly celebrated each other for their birthdays.

On the left was Kate’s birthday shoutout to her husband when he turned 42 in June, 2024.

She shared a sweet picture of the future King jumping with their three kids, Prince George, 13, Princess Charlotte, 11, and Prince Louis, 8.

“Happy birthday Papa, we all love you so much! Cx,” she wrote alongside the snap.

The second picture in the side-by-side comparison was William’s birthday tribute to Kate in January, 2025, which included a monochrome picture of her after her tumultuous cancer diagnosis and recovery.

“To the most incredible wife and mother,” the caption began.

“The strength you’ve shown over the last year has been remarkable. George, Charlotte, Louis and I are so proud of you,” the message continued. “Happy Birthday, Catherine. We love you. W.”

Netizens took the two birthday messages as windows into Kate and William’s marriage and claimed her tribute didn’t feel as affectionate as his.

“Clearly one of them doesn’t value the other a lot,” one said.

Another wrote, “The man is clearly being told that he doesn’t matter very much and can go to hell.”

“Yea she hates him. She only sees him as a wallet or dad, not as a husband,” said one. “I’m so tired of seeing men participate in the marriage humiliation ritual.”

Others claimed they were “both showing their love in their own special way.”

“Golden retriever energy vs. high-fashion editorial. 😂 Perfect balance!” one said.

Another wrote, “She captures the fun, he captures the strength. Beautiful.”

Many also pointed out the likelihood of both birthday posts possibly being the outcome of a PR team’s strategy.

“Are we forgetting they don’t manage their accounts?” one commented, while another wrote, “I doubt either one of them took either photo or uploaded them.”

“She hates him. She only sees him as a wallet or dad, not as a husband,” one commented online

“Do people really think royals manage their own social media pages?” one asked.

As standard practice, it is understood that William and Kate’s official social media accounts are not personal accounts that the couple manages themselves on a day-to-day basis.

The Prince and Princess of Wales have their own communications team, based at Kensington Palace, which also likely handles their digital presence.

This would mean posts can be planned, drafted, edited and published by members of their team.

However, Kate has publicly acknowledged personally contributing to social media content in some ways.

She apologized in 2024 after her Mother’s Day photograph sparked controversy over being digitally manipulated.

“Like many amateur photographers, I do occasionally experiment with editing,” she said on social media following the backlash.

“I wanted to express my apologies for any confusion the family photograph we shared yesterday caused,” she continued. “I hope everyone celebrating had a very happy Mother’s Day. C.”

Although she said she personally edited the photograph at the time, it doesn’t necessarily mean she uploaded it or captioned it herself.

Others defended the couple, saying they simply express their love in different ways

The Prince and Princess of Wales

William and Kate’s love story began when they were college students at Scotland’s University of St. Andrews.

Their friendship blossomed into romance when they became roommates, living off campus with their friends in their second year of university.

He proposed to her in 2010, and they tied the knot in 2011.

“The secret to the Prince and Princess of Wales’ marriage is support for one another throughout their roles as working royals and as parents to their three young children,” author Russell Myers told the Mirror this week.

princeandprincessofwales/Instagram

The William and Catherine: The Monarchy’s New Era: The Inside Story author said the couple does “everything” in “tandem.”

“What many people aren’t aware of is how invested Catherine has always been, not only in her role and the effect she can have as the Princess of Wales and as a future queen, but also in the monarchy’s future direction,” he told the outlet.

“Plot twist. She posted both,” one commented online

Depuis ce printemps, sachez qu'un git clone ordinaire peut maintenant récupérer un dépôt qui n'existe sur aucun serveur spécifique. En fait, le code est stocké dans Freenet, le réseau pair-à-pair qu'Ian Clarke a relancé en mars. Et comme y'a plus d'hébergeur, bah y'a plus personne pour fermer un compte ou shooter le dépôt.

Car Git est décentralisé depuis toujours et fonctionne très bien comme ça, puisque chaque clone contient l'historique complet, ce qui permet à 2 clones de se synchroniser directement. Ce qui lui manquait par contre, c'était l'hébergement, et c'est là-dessus que les forges que nous connaissons, Github en tête, sont venues capitaliser. Y'a bien des initiatives comme Grasp qui essaie d'en sortir grâce au protocole Nostr mais freenet-git lui range carrément le dépôt dans un contrat que les nœuds recopient, et se publie lui-même à l'adresse freenet::99TmCayXn6Tm/freenet-git.

Cloner ou publier du code exige donc le paquet freenet-git et un nœud qui tourne sur votre machine, ce qui fait qu'on ne supprime pas vraiment le serveur, mais on le ramène juste chez soi.

Charger la vidéo depuis YouTube Ce clic autorise une connexion à Google : adresse IP transmise et traceurs possibles. En savoir plus

Le socle compte plus que l'application dans cette présentation. Les contrats et les delegates forment la couche où une app tourne sans backend, et quatre tournent déjà dessus : River pour le chat de groupe, Delta pour les sites, Atlas pour la recherche, et freenet-git pour le code. Mail, Raven et Harvest existent aussi, à un stade plus jeune.

L'adresse du dépôt sort des 12 premiers caractères de la clé publique de son propriétaire, et à ce stade expérimental, lui seul peut pousser dedans. Y'a pas non plus de pull requests, ni d'issues puisque c'est le modèle du noyau Linux d'avant les forges, où chacun publie son clone et le mainteneur vient y piocher ce qui l'intéresse.

Reste le plus dur maintenant, retrouver un dépôt.

Car sans annuaire, un nœud doit deviner lequel de ses voisins mettra le moins de temps à trouver ce qu'on lui demande. Le réseau traite ça comme un problème d'apprentissage et parie sur le bon voisin à partir des requêtes passées grâce à Renegade, une bibliothèque open source sortie en 2021, capable de faire ce calcul.

Installer freenet-git

Il faut une chaîne Rust, et ~/.cargo/bin doit être dans votre PATH. Les installeurs du nœud sont sur freenet.org/quickstart.

curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh

Rust n'entre dans le PATH qu'au shell suivant, donc ouvrez un nouveau terminal avant la commande d'après. Elle dépose deux binaires, freenet-git et le remote helper que Git appellera tout seul.

cargo install freenet-git

Cloner un dépôt qui existe déjà

Aucune identité n'est nécessaire pour lire. La bibliothèque standard de Freenet fait un bon test, elle porte son historique complet et ses tags.

git clone freenet::96rknpy1GYhZ/freenet-stdlib

Publier le vôtre

C'est create qui publie réellement le contrat. Il affiche PUT confirmed by host et l'adresse du dépôt, dont le préfixe se recopie dans le remote. La phrase de passe voyage par une variable d'environnement parce que Git garde la main sur l'entrée standard durant le push.

freenet-git init-identity --name "Votre Nom" --email vous@example.com
cd ~/code/mon-projet
freenet-git create --name mon-projet
# -> URL: freenet:VOTRE_PREFIXE/mon-projet
git remote add freenet freenet::VOTRE_PREFIXE/mon-projet
export FREENET_GIT_PASSPHRASE='votre-phrase-de-passe'
git push freenet main

Et voilà ! Avec ça vous pouvez faire du vrai git décentralisé même si la vraie limite est ailleurs...

En effet, les nœuds gardent en cache ce qu'on leur réclame et évacuent le reste, donc un dépôt que personne ne clone finit au bout d'un moment par ne plus être clonable. Et ça c'est dommage... C'est pourquoi une commande (rescue), le remet en circulation depuis une machine qui a encore les données. Le projet ne présente toutefois pas ça comme un bug, mais comme son modèle de durabilité actuel.

Mais autant le savoir avant d'y déposer votre code.

Vous rentrez de soirée à moitié bourré, vous ouvrez Paramètres, Applications, Applications installées, et vous cherchez OneDrive Photos pour le virer... Mais il n'y est pas ! Rassurez-vous, ce n'est pas à cause des effets de l'alcool car l'application est pourtant bien sur la machine, avec son icône moche dans le menu Démarrer et son interface photo qui s'ouvre très bien quand on clique dessus... ALORS POURQUOI NE PEUT ON PAS VIRER CETTE COCHONNERIE ???

Hé bien Microsoft a reconnu avoir distribué cette nouvelle interface "photo" plus largement que prévu sur Windows 11 sans anticiper que des gens auraient envie de le virer. Le déploiement était involontaire, mais le résultat est quand même arrivé sur votre disque et vu la réputation de OneDrive côté dark patterns , l'envie de nettoyer tout de suite se comprend...

Mais rassurez-vous, je vais vous aider !

Étape 1 - Trouver ce qui est réellement installé

OneDrive Photos n'est pas une application séparée, c'est le binaire OneDrive.App.exe livré à l'intérieur du client de synchronisation OneDrive.

Voilà pourquoi Windows ne lui donne aucune entrée de désinstallation.

Son emplacement dépend en réalité du mode d'installation du client. En installation par utilisateur, il atterrit dans votre profil. En installation pour toute la machine, il va dans Program Files. Cette commande ci-dessous teste donc les deux et affiche la version trouvée.

Get-ChildItem "$env:LOCALAPPDATA\Microsoft\OneDrive","$env:ProgramFiles\Microsoft OneDrive","${env:ProgramFiles(x86)}\Microsoft OneDrive" -Filter OneDrive.App.exe -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue | Select-Object FullName,@{n='Version';e={$_.VersionInfo.FileVersion}}

Étape 2 - Supprimer les raccourcis

Ce que Windows vous laisse supprimer facilement par contre, ce sont les raccourcis. Ils se posent au niveau de la machine et dans votre profil, donc menu Démarrer et bureau. Par contre, ouvrez PowerShell en administrateur sinon, vous ne pourrez pas les virer.

"$env:ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs","$env:APPDATA\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs","$env:PUBLIC\Desktop","$env:USERPROFILE\Desktop" | ForEach-Object { Get-ChildItem $_ -Filter "OneDrive Photos.lnk" -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue } | Remove-Item -Verbose

Le script affiche alors chaque raccourci retiré. Tapez ensuite "OneDrive Photos" dans le menu Démarrer, et vous verrez plus rien ne remonte.

Pourquoi ça ne suffit pas ?

Mais vous l'avez compris, le binaire, lui, n'a pas bougé. Vous avez nettoyé le point d'entrée, mais pas désinstallé l'application. Un double-clic sur OneDrive.App.exe rouvrira l'interface photo comme avant, et une mise à jour du client peut très bien rétablir le raccourci...

Et non, il n'existe aucune clé de registre ni stratégie de groupe pour bloquer proprement cette application, même sur un parc géré. Pas d'interrupteur à débrancher comme avec RemoveWindowsAI face à Copilot . Les scripts qui circulent suppriment des .lnk, rien d'autre.

Alors comment on fait ? Hé bien on passe à l'étape 3 !

Étape 3 - Retirer OneDrive en entier

Car la seule suppression réelle aujourd'hui, c'est de désinstaller le client OneDrive en entier, ce qui n'a de sens que si vous ne vous en servez pas. Le dossier d'installation part avec, donc le binaire photo aussi. Avant de lancer quoi que ce soit, si vous utilisez les fichiers à la demande, faites donc un clic droit sur les dossiers qui comptent et cochez "Toujours conserver sur cet appareil".

winget uninstall --id Microsoft.OneDrive

Le même résultat s'obtient depuis Paramètres > Applications installées > Microsoft OneDrive > Désinstaller. La synchronisation locale s'arrête là, mais vos données restent en ligne et rien n'est supprimé côté Microsoft.

Pour vérifier le résultat, relancez alors la commande de l'étape 1. Plus aucun chemin affiché, le binaire a quitté les emplacements contrôlés. Si un chemin encore là, c'est qu'un client OneDrive traîne toujours, souvent dans un autre profil utilisateur.

Ensuite, pour revenir en arrière, il faudra réinstaller OneDrive depuis le site officiel de Microsoft. Mais si la synchro de vos fichiers revient, sachez que l'interface photo aussi. Les deux voyagent ensemble comme des bro incels soudés à la vie à la mort.

Alors que faire ?

Hé bien faudra attendre septembre..

Car oui, youpi, Microsoft annonce pour septembre 2026 un contrôle qui retirera OneDrive Photos seul, sans couper la synchronisation. Donc si vous tenez à OneDrive, attendre quelques semaines vous coûtera moins cher qu'une désinstallation complète.

Je m'intéresse à la sécurité mobile depuis un paquet d'années, et cette attaque-là, je ne l'avais jamais vue. Le point de départ n'est ni le réseau, ni un SMS piégé, ni une appli vérolée. C'est la carte SIM elle-même ! En effet, des chercheurs de l'université de Birmingham et de Fuzzware lui ont fait donner des ordres au modem qui l'héberge.

Le mécanisme s'appelle RUN AT et c'est une commande proactive puisque la carte ne se contente pas de répondre à l'appareil, mais elle lui demande aussi d'exécuter une commande AT. C'est ce même langage qui pilote les modems depuis le Hayes Smartmodem de 1981 donc autant dire qu'on a là, une vraie console générique dispo sur un bout de plastique.

Et sur une borne de recharge Autel, ça donne tout simplement une exécution de code. Le module Quectel qui l'équipe, fait passer le texte reçu dans un appel shell, avec une liste noire de caractères censée bloquer les échappements. Mais un simple retour à la ligne passe au travers... Et voilà comment 2 étapes plus loin, les chercheurs sont parvenus à faire tourner leur propre code, piloté depuis la SIM. Décidément, les bornes de recharge collectionnent les mauvaises surprises .

Autre exemple sur un smartphone OPPO Reno 14 F 5G, où une seule commande coince le téléphone en 2G... Son propriétaire ne peut alors plus revenir en arrière : ni le mode avion, ni la sélection manuelle du réseau, ni la désactivation de la SIM dans les réglages ne permet de restaurer de la 5G ou de la 4G. Or la 2G n'a pas d'authentification mutuelle, donc une fausse antenne redevient un facteur de risque sur ce genre de matos récent. Deux autres commandes éteignent même le téléphone ou tuent son modem.

Reste la condition d'entrée, et elle est lourde : la carte doit déjà être hostile. Cela passe au choix par un échange physique, un interposeur glissé sous la puce, un opérateur compromis, ou du sabotage en usine... Mais surtout, rien là-dedans n'exploite de bug exotique. En fait, cette capacité est écrite dans les spécifications cellulaires, ce qui fait dire au chercheur Marius Muench que ces attaques sont conformes au standard.

Maintenant sur votre téléphone perso, le scénario d'une telle attaque reste assez serré. Mais sur un boîtier 4G oublié dans un local technique, beaucoup moins. Sur 26 appareils testés, 9 exposent l'interface, dont 6 modems IoT sur 8, contre 3 téléphones sur 18. Par contre, ni iPhone ni Pixel ne sont faillibles et Qualcomm a préparé une configuration durcie qui la coupe par défaut. De son côté, Quectel travaille encore dessus...

Bref, si vous exploitez des équipements cellulaires sur le terrain, une seule question au fournisseur du module suffit : RUN AT est-il activé, et peut-on le couper ? Notez qu'aucune attaque de ce type n'a été signalée pour le moment.
