device blacklist; blacklist of devices: The use of the pair of terms "blacklist" and "whitelist" is sometimes viewed negatively. Some consider the use of the adjectives "black" and "white" in their figurative sense to have a negative impact on the cultural attitudes towards Black people due to a negative association with the adjective "black" and a positive association with the adjective "white." For this reason, organizations in the field of computer science are opting to use terms such as "blocklist" and "allowlist" as alternatives to the terms "blacklist" and "whitelist." 7, record 5, English, - device%20blocklist

liste noire d'appareils : L'emploi de la paire de termes «liste noire» et «liste blanche» est parfois critiqué. Certains considèrent en effet que l'usage des adjectifs «noir» et «blanc» au sens figuré a une incidence négative sur les attitudes culturelles envers les personnes noires en raison de l'association d'une idée négative avec l'adjectif «noir» et d'une idée positive avec l'adjectif «blanc». C'est pourquoi des organisations du secteur de l'informatique privilégient l'emploi de termes tels que «liste de rejet» et «liste d'autorisation» comme solutions de rechange aux termes «liste noire» et «liste blanche». 1, record 5, French, - liste%20de%20rejet%20d%27appareils

Le bus série universel (USB) facilite la connexion des périphériques parce qu'il n'est pas nécessaire d'ouvrir le boîtier de l'ordinateur pour ce faire. Il s'agit en fait d'une connexion standard port-fiche servant au raccordement des périphériques comme les imprimantes, les modems, les numériseurs et les appareils photo numériques. Il offre l'avantage de pouvoir facilement ajouter, supprimer ou déplacer des périphériques. 6, record 15, French, - bus%20s%C3%A9rie%20universel
