David Noel Ng, un chercheur installé à Munich, en avait marre du pile ou face et des tirages de dés truqués par les ordinateurs, alors il a construit une machine qui pose directement la question à l'univers. Son engin, le Beam Universe Splitter, fabrique alors du hasard pur en laissant une particule de lumière choisir à votre place. Et la réponse n'est pas 42 ! ^^

Le principe c'est qu'un photon, un simple grain de lumière, fonce vers un miroir semi-réfléchissant. Au moment où il y parvient, il a alors 2 possibilités : Soit il le traverse, soit il rebondit. Et dans l'état actuel de la science, absolument rien au monde ne permet d'anticiper ce qu'il fera. Un détecteur attend bien sûr de chaque côté... Si c'est le premier qui capte le photon, ça donnera un 0 et si c'est le second, ça donnera un 1. C'est la nature qui tranche, sans algorithme.

Pour rendre tout ça palpable, David a surtout branché sa machine sur une sorte de boule magique en ligne (les fameuses 8-ball). Vous tapez votre question existentielle du moment, l'appareil fait défiler ses bits quantiques en direct depuis sa cave bavaroise, et il vous sort LA réponse (non, c'est toujours pas 42).

Et comme l'expliquent certains experts de la physique quantique, chaque possibilité qui s'offre à vous, arrive forcément quelque part dans un univers parallèle, vous ne faites finalement que tomber sur le votre. Oui, je sais c'est barré.

L'Univers m'a dit que Patreon , c'était mal barré...

Pour repérer ses photons, il a fait de la récup et a chopé deux photomultiplicateurs Hamamatsu sur du vieux matériel de labo d'analyse de protéines parti à la benne. Ensuite, c'est piloté via une carte FPGA Red Pitaya qui a pour rôle de trier les signaux des millions de fois à la seconde. En ignorant au passage les affreux rayons cosmiques qui viendraient parasiter la mesure.

J'adore ces histoires de physique quantique. Puis ça bouge dans tous les sens en ce moment, entre l'informatique quantique qui passe en open source et les physiciens du CERN qui fabriquent un qubit avec de l'antimatière . Mais là, avec sa 8-ball directement branchée à l'univers, il n'a pas eu besoin d'un labo à plusieurs millions mais juste d'une LED, d'un miroir et de pas mal de débrouille.

Après pourquoi se donner tout ce mal alors que votre PC sait déjà cracher du hasard ?

Hé bien parce que JUSTEMENT, le hasard de nos ordis c'est l'arnaque. C'est basé sur un algo qui imite très bien le chaos, mais qui reste prévisible si on connaît son point de départ. Tout le défi, comme le raconte David sur son blog , ça a été de prouver que ces bits sont du vrai hasard quantique et pas juste les ratés de son détecteur qui jouent les imposteurs. Mais bonne nouvelle, sa machine a passé tous les tests statistiques de référence du NIST sur 1 milliard de bits. Donc je pense qu'il est bon, y'a pas de schéma prédictible caché dans sa machine.

Après si vous voulez vous en faire une pour prendre toutes les décisions importantes de votre vie, sachez quand même que c'est lent de fou. On est à 2300 bits par seconde et comme ça tourne dans le labo de David, ça peut parfois se retrouver hors ligne.

Mais peu importe, c'est génial comme idée je trouve ! Bravo à lui !

Remote work has fundamentally changed how often people need access to devices they aren’t sitting in front of. The tools built for this, however, haven’t kept up. Software-based remote access drops the moment a device sleeps or the screen locks, traditional KVMs demand a tangle of HDMI, USB, power, and Ethernet cables, and phones and tablets have been left out of the picture entirely.

GL.iNet, the Hong Kong-based networking company behind a range of popular OpenWrt routers, has built the Comet Q to tackle all three of those problems at once. Officially designated the GL-RMQ1, it’s described as the world’s first browser-based, pocket-sized remote-control device built specifically for USB-C devices, covering laptops, phones, tablets, and Mac minis. You plug it in, open a browser, and you’re in.

What sets the Comet Q apart is that it operates at the hardware level, not through software installed on the target device. That distinction matters more than it sounds. Traditional remote desktop software relies on the operating system and an active network connection, failing the moment a device sleeps, locks, or loses Wi-Fi. The Comet Q keeps working through all of that, as long as the device stays powered on and hasn’t entered a hibernation state that cuts off its HDMI/USB output.

That control comes through a single USB-C cable that simultaneously carries video, data, and power, doing away with the HDMI dongle and USB hub that traditional KVMs require. Video output reaches up to 2K at 60 fps with two-way audio, and a built-in USB-C passthrough port means the device being controlled stays charged throughout the session. It’s a genuinely pocket-sized setup that actually earns that description.

Where the Comet Q breaks new ground is with mobile devices. No KVM was ever built for them, and if something went wrong remotely, there was no clean solution short of being physically present. It connects directly through the USB-C port, working with iPhones from the iPhone 15 onward (excluding the iPhone 16e and later budget models), iPads, and a wide range of Android phones and tablets, provided the port supports DisplayPort Alt Mode.

All of that also means the OS combination no longer matters. Users can control an iPhone from a Windows PC, a MacBook from an Android tablet, or an iPad from a Linux machine. Developers can manage test devices without being at their desks, IT teams can monitor a fleet of phones from one interface, and content creators can run a dedicated recording device from anywhere in the same room.

There’s a surprisingly personal side to this. If you’ve ever tried walking a parent through a tech problem over the phone, knowing you could take over their screen remotely would have saved everyone a lot of stress. The Comet Q makes that possible, and since Wi-Fi credentials can be preset before shipping the device, the person receiving it doesn’t need to set it up.

Accessing the Comet Q doesn’t require any downloads. From a laptop or desktop, any browser pointed to glkvm.com is enough to take full control, with no account creation needed. When controlling from a phone or tablet, the GLKVM app, available on Windows, macOS, App Store, and Google Play, handles touch gestures more precisely. A 1.8-inch circular touchscreen on the device also makes initial setup possible without opening a laptop.

Security runs through every layer of the design. Each session ends the moment the Comet Q is physically disconnected, leaving no residual access or background processes behind. Built-in support for Tailscale, ZeroTier, and WireGuard VPN keeps remote connections encrypted and firewall-friendly, while two-factor authentication adds yet another layer on top. Remote access that works through hardware rather than software has been a long time coming for phones and tablets.
