Les contraintes sanitaires rajoutent du flou pour les participants et organisateurs, notamment des risques de forfaits pour les équipes qui compteraient des cas de covid dans leurs rangs. Les exemples du Munster et de Cardiff, impactés et qui ont dû s'isoler plusieurs jours en Afrique du Sud, risquent de n'être que les premiers d'une longue liste. Champions Cup. Face au Covid, l'EPCR prend une décision radicale pour le bon déroulé de la compétitionCette situation a eu l'art d'agacer Arthur Iturria. Chez nos confrères auvergnats de La Montagne, le Bayonnais de naissance ne mâche pas ses mots. \"La Coupe d'Europe dans ces circonstances ne devrait pas avoir lieu\" lance-t-il d'entrée. Il craint pour l'équité de la compétition ainsi que la santé des joueurs.\n Perdre ou gagner 28-0, ce n’est pas forcément équitable quand tu n’as pas joué[...] Même si c’est une compétition énorme à jouer et que je suis le premier à avoir envie de disputer des rencontres européennes, je ne vois pas trop l’intérêt dans les conditions dans lesquelles elles vont se jouer. Quand je vois comment les frontières se ferment, j’ai du mal à comprendre pourquoi on prend tant de risques.\nSon entraineur Jono Gibbes fait plus preuve de sagesse et considère que l'EPCR a trouvé un bon compromis. Finaliste l'an dernier avec La Rochelle bien que n'ayant joué qu'un match de poule, la perspective de 8ᵉ de finale en aller-retour le motive : \"Ajouter des matchs à élimination directe est peut-être une bonne chose et sûrement aussi un bon compromis pour les diffuseurs télé \". Désormais, \"il n'y a plus aucune marge. Chaque point est précieux et chaque point que l'adversaire n'empoche pas est précieux aussi. Cela exige d’être aussi performant qu’en phase finale\". \nLa compétition risque toutefois comme la saison dernière d'être biaisée par des forfaits et victoires sur tapis verts. On se souvient notamment de Toulon lors de la première journée à Llanelli et en huitièmes de finale au Leinster, ainsi qu'à Exeter contre Toulouse en poule. Clermont doit affronter les Irlandais de l'Ulster à Marcel-Michelin ce week-end, puis se déplacera chez les Anglais de Sale lors de la 2ᵉ journée.", + "title": "RUGBY. Marco Tauleigne, rugbyman le jour, streameur sur Twitch le soir : ''C’est un petit peu une échappatoire''", + "description": "Le troisième ligne de Montpellier Marco Tauleigne a une passion peu commune chez les rugbymen : il joue aux jeux vidéo en ligne sur Twitch.", + "content": "On le sait, beaucoup de rugbymen aiment les jeux vidéos. Et particulièrement ceux de football comme la série des FIFA ou encore les jeux de tir (appelés FPS) comme Call of Duty. En général, ils jouent tranquillement chez eux bien assis dans leur canapé. Mais certains ont choisi de montrer leur skills, comprenez leurs talents, en ligne via une plateforme appelée Twitch. C'est notamment le cas de Damian Penaud, que vous pouvez voir sur Warzone pour les connaisseurs. Mais aussi de Marco Tauleigne. L'ancien joueur de l'UBB, désormais à Montpellier, est ce qu'on appelle un \"streameur\". C'est-à-dire qu'il propose du contenu en ligne à sa communauté plusieurs fois par semaine devant une caméra. S'il fait ça avant tout pour le plaisir, il a pris le streaming au sérieux afin de proposer des lives de qualité à ceux qui le suivent. Une manière pour lui de penser à autre chose qu'au rugby et de rencontrer des personnes qui ne gravitent pas forcément autour de l'ovalie.\nQu’est-ce qui t’a amené à commencer le streaming ?\nÀ l’époque de Fortnite, il y a quatre ou cinq ans, je regardais des streameurs sur Youtube. Et je me disais “pourquoi toi tu ne le fais pas ?”. Mais je ne me suis pas vraiment lancé, car là où j’habitais avant je n’avais pas la fibre. Quand j’ai eu une assez bonne connexion, je m’y suis mis petit à petit. D’abord sur Youtube mais de manière assez discrète. Je faisais ça dans mon coin. J’osais pas trop le faire. Je ne voulais pas trop me faire chambrer. Je me faisais un peu petit par rapport à ça. Je voulais surtout que ce soit ludique. Je connaissais Twitch mais je n’y allais pas car je trouvais que la plateforme était très compliquée à gérer. Sur Youtube, je lançais le live en deux clics. Je faisais ça pour m’amuser et amuser les copains qui jouaient. Dès que j’ai voulu m’y mettre un peu plus sérieusement, je me suis tourné vers Twitch. Je me régalais au début à découvrir la manière dont on met en place un live avec les scènes, les sources, etc, à créer mes propres cadres de caméra. C’était vraiment du vite fait, mais ça me plaisait de m’en occuper. J’ai pas mal regardé de tutos pour avoir des bases parce que quand je lançais mes premiers lives, j’étais sur console avec la caméra de la Playstation 4. Mais j’ai eu envie d’améliorer ce que je proposais. Alors je suis passé sur un ordinateur de bureau avec une caméra, un deuxième écran, etc. J’avais envie que ce soit plus pro.\nEst-ce que le streaming est un passe-temps ou une passion ?\nUn peu des deux. Je le prends plutôt comme un passe-temps, quelque chose de ludique. Les abonnements et l’argent des dons, je ne le garde pas pour moi. Je fais des cadeaux que je fais gagner à mes abonnés. Je n’ai pas envie de me faire de l’argent par Twitch. J’ai envie de grandir sur la plateforme, mais pas pour la notoriété mais parce que ce que je propose est bien et plaît. J’ai la chance d’avoir un salaire à côté. Ce qui n’est pas le cas de tout le monde sur Twitch. Mais j’ai quand même envie que se soit carré avec notamment un planning régulier pour pourquoi pas continuer après le rugby si ça fonctionne. Pas forcément à temps plein mais à côté de mon futur métier, car c’est quelque chose que j’aime faire.\nQu’est-ce qui te plaît dans le streaming ?\nJ’aime échanger et déconner avec des personnes. Certaines qui sont là régulièrement et avec qui on discute et on échange ne savent même pas que je suis rugbyman professionnel. Et puis elles finissent par l’apprendre. Le stream et les jeux vidéo, ça me sort quelque part de ma routine du rugby, et de tout le temps parler rugby, vivre rugby. C’est un petit peu une échappatoire car ça me fait aussi rencontrer du monde hors rugby. On parle aussi rugby pendant les streams, et c’est top. Mais si on parlait rugby pendant trois heures en live, je serais content de répondre, mais ça m’ennuierait un peu quand même.\nComment est-ce que tu combines ton activité de streameur avec ta vie personnelle et professionnelle ?\nC’est pas simple car ça prend beaucoup de temps, surtout que j’ai un enfant et une compagne. Donc, il faut s’organiser en prévoyant à l’avance quand je suis en live et quand on a du temps pour nous. Ça lui convient et ça me convient aussi, car ça lui permet aussi d'avoir ces moments à elle le soir quand je stream. Elle m’aide également à prendre des décisions par rapport au contenu que je propose. J’aime l’équilibre que je commence à avoir. Même si après le rugby et ma vie de papa, je n’ai parfois plus trop de temps pour gérer les problèmes liés au stream. C’est parfois fatiguant, mais j’aime les gens avec qui je partage ça.\nAs-tu une pièce dédiée au streaming dans ta maison ?\nOui, j’ai un endroit uniquement à moi avec mes deux ordinateurs, les trois écrans, le fond vert. J’ai la chance d’avoir un salaire avec le rugby qui me permet de pouvoir investir et proposer quelque chose de qualité. Du coup, j’ai fait des investissements dans ce sens afin que les gens aient envie de rester et de communiquer. Je me suis fait un petit décor avec mon logo, etc. C’est une personne que j’ai rencontrée sur le live, qui s’appelle Julien, qui m’a aidé à ce niveau d’ailleurs. Il s’occupe de la page des Espoirs de l’UBB et il est graphiste. Sans que je lui demande quelque chose, il m’a dit qu’il voulait m’accompagner dans ma démarche. Je voulais que ce soit vraiment dissocié du rugby, qu’il n’y ait pas mes initiales dans le logo comme on peut le voir chez d’autres sportifs. Comme on me compare parfois à un ours, on a commencé à bosser dans ce sens. Il m’a envoyé des visuels avec des têtes d’ours, etc. C’est lui qui a commencé à habiller ma chaîne. Il ne voulait pas que je le paye alors je lui avais offert un maillot dédicacé de l’UBB. C’est ce que j’aime aussi dans le streaming. Ce côté entre-aide. J’avais des problèmes de son par exemple alors des mecs m’ont proposé leur aide directement.\nTu as été blessé pendant plusieurs mois. Est-ce que le stream t’a aidé à mieux gérer cette période sans jouer ?\nQuand je me suis blessé à la cheville l’an-passé, et que j’avais beaucoup de temps, c’est là où j’ai pu faire pas mal de lives. J’ai rencontré d’autres streameurs, des joueurs, etc, et c’est ce qui m’a donné envie de continuer, de partager. Quand je me suis blessé, je me suis fait opérer et ma saison était terminée. Je n’ai pas pu rejouer avec l’UBB. Ma copine a vu que j’étais dégoûté, mais elle a cette philosophie de dire que s’il m’est arrivé ça, c'est qu’il y a une raison et que ça pouvait me permettre de lancer la dynamique sur Twitch.\nEst-ce que tes coéquipiers à Montpellier sont au courant de ta deuxième vie en ligne ?\nOui ils sont au courant. Quand je suis arrivé à Montpellier cette année, j’ai fait une présentation où j’ai parlé rugby, de ma famille et du fait que je streamais. J’ai parlé du fait que j’avais eu la chance de faire des parties avec des sportifs connus comme Gaël Monfils et des gros streameurs. Ceux qui ne savaient pas l’ont appris à ce moment-là. D’autres le savaient déjà un peu car ils suivent des streameurs avec qui j’ai pu jouer. Je suis un peu le geek du groupe mais ça me convient d’avoir ce statut-là. Il y a en qui chambre, mais on en discute aussi. Même si c’était méchant, je m’en ficherais un peu car je prends plaisir à le faire. Il n'y a rien de ridicule à vouloir tester quelque chose et y prendre du plaisir.\nUn mot sur ton arrivée au MHR. Quels sont tes objectifs avec ton nouveau club ?\n(l’interview a été réalisée avant le match face au LOU le 30 octobre lors de la 9e journée)C’est un nouveau challenge. J’ai eu quelques pépins physiques, rien de méchant, mais ça t’éloigne quand même des terrains. Donc j’ai hâte de pouvoir enfin lancer ma saison, de pouvoir porter le maillot de Montpellier à plusieurs reprises. J’espère être épargné par les blessures.

Le LOU, l'équipe la plus puissante du Top 14 ?", + "description": "Après sa large victoire contre Brive, Lyon a impressionné les observateurs du Top 14 de par la puissance de son collectif. Et ce tant bien devant que derrière.", + "content": "Quatrième du Top 14, le LOU vit un début de saison prometteur. Les Lyonnais se positionnent clairement comme un concurrent aux phases finales comme cela est le cas depuis plusieurs saisons désormais. Larges vainqueurs de Brive le week-end dernier (41-0), c'est surtout par leur puissance que les hommes de Pierre Mignoni ont impressionné. De là à nous demander si Lyon n'est pas l'équipe la plus dense du championnat. Car les Rhodaniens possèdent quelques Golgoths dans leurs rangs. Décryptage. \nChallenge Cup. Saracens, Lyon, Edimbourg, Toulon... qui sont les favoris au titre ?\nAprès un retard à l'allumage de 25 minutes, ponctué par une série de maladresses en tout genre, les Lyonnais ont rapidement mis la marche en avant face à des Corréziens très vite submergés. Dans le sillage des charges dévastatrices de Demba Bamba ou Romain Taofifenua, les Rouge et Noir ont peu à peu libéré des espaces pour la cavalerie derrière, qui parachevait le boulot. On pense en premier lieu, à ce superbe essai de Charlie Ngatai. Car c'est ce sentiment d'écrasante puissance qui nous a frappé. Comme si les locaux avaient concassé pendant près d'une demi-heure les visiteurs, avant de prendre le large, face à une défense éprouvée, desserrant irrémédiablement l'étau et lâchant prise devant les incessants coups de butoir du paquet d'avant du LOU. Symboles de cette force de frappe impressionnante, les essais de Taufua après un maul porté et Saghinadze. Les solides troisièmes lignes, respectivement 1m85 pour 105kg et 1m92 pour 105kg, ont à chaque fois avancé sur leurs prises de balles. Le Géorgien est d'ailleurs une force de la nature. Mais les trois-quarts ne sont pas en reste. Que dire derrière de Joshua Tuisova, et ses innombrables charges qui ont mis sur les fesses les défenseurs brivistes. La saison passée, le Fidjien, ancien pensionnaire du RCT avait cassé 109 plaquages, le plaçant tout en haut de l'échelle de ce classement. Cette année, il semble encore partie sur de mêmes bases. Malheureusement, son carton rouge en fin de match viendra entacher une performance remarquée. Mais que dire de la domination de la mêlée lyonnaise ? Impériale tout au long de la rencontre elle n'a laissé que des miettes à son homologue briviste. À tel point que cela tournait à la démonstration. \n\nDe là à nous demander donc, si Lyon n'est tout simplement pas l'équipe la plus puissante du championnat. À titre comparatif, l'an passé, La Rochelle possédait un pack monstrueux, qui avait notamment concassé le Leinster en demie de Champions Cup ou bien Sale lors du tour précédant, pourtant réputée pour être l'équipe la plus solide de Premiership avec son fort contingent sud-africain, allégorie même de la puissance. Oui mais voilà, derrière, le Stade Rochelais excepté Levani Botia ne possédait pas des joueurs dotés d'une force de frappe similaire à celle des Lyonnais. Alors loin de nous l'idée de faire du LOU l'antithèse du jeu de mouvement. La formation rhodanienne possède dans ses rangs des trois-quarts virevoltants à l'image de Pierre-Louis Barassi, Toby Arnold ou Ethan Dumortier entre autres. Mais certains de ces arrières arrivent à mêler rapidité et puissance comme Charlie Ngatai, Joshua Tuisova bien sûr, Thibault Regard ou même Noa Nakaitaci. \nTOP 14. VIDÉO. Tuisova et le LOU mettent fin à la série du Stade Toulousain\nSi nous revenons à nos moutons et que nous comparons les packs, il est vrai que le Stade Toulousain a également forgé ses succès lors des années précédentes avec un huit de devant très solide. Mais force est de constater qu'avec les frères Taofifenua, Bamba, Sobela; Saghinadze, Taufua ou encore Matthieu Bastareaud avant sa terrible blessure, Lyon a de quoi répondre dans le domaine du défi physique. Preuve en est, c'est la première équipe à avoir fait tomber le champion en titre cette année, le 17 octobre dernier (25-19). Alors certes, la saison est encore longue, mais Lyon s'est clairement positionné comme un très solide prétendant au Top 6. Et ses adversaires devront répondre principalement dans le combat, l'un des points forts des coéquipiers de Dylan Cretin cette saison. \nTOP 14.

Celle du jeune demi de mêlée Aubin Eymeri qui a fait sa première apparition en Top 14.", + "content": "Avec la remontée dans l’élite de Perpignan cette année, c’est le retour du derby du Languedoc. Le dernier en date, celui de 2019, avait tenu toutes ses promesses. Après 15 journées pour autant de défaite, les Perpignanais se déplaçaient sur la pelouse du GGL Stadium. Un MHR en souffrance qui avait perdu 6 de ses 7 derniers matchs. L’USAP venait assommer le MHR sur sa propre pelouse. Les Catalans s’offraient la première victoire de leur saison 10 à 28 et enfonçaient les Héraultais dans les bas fond du classement. Une défaite qui avait sonné la révolte chez les Cistes. Auteur ensuite d’une folle remontada au classement, ils finiront bel et bien 6ᵉ et barragiste de l’édition 2018-2019. Cette année, c'est une tout autre histoire. Perpignan arrive en terres montpelliéraines avec déjà 4 victoires au compteur, et le MHR cartonne et colle au duo de tête UBB, Stade Toulousain.\nUne première mi-temps marquée par la domination du MHR mais aussi par son incapacité à concrétiser ses actions. L’USAP s’en tient à la botte de son international Melvyn Jaminet. Les deux équipes rentrent aux vestiaires dos à dos sur le score de 6-6. Il ne fallut pas longtemps après le retour sur le pré pour que les Cistes confirme leur domination. Un essai à la 46e puis à la 62e creuseront fortement l’écart. En revanche, le MHR a attendu la 77e pour obtenir le bonus offensif par l’intermédiaire d'Aubin Eymeri. Ce jeune demi de mêlée de 19 ans avait fait son entrée en jeu quelques minutes plus tôt. Il disputait ses premières minutes chez les professionnels.\nUne arrivée sur la pointe des pieds\nAubin fait ses premiers au rugby à l’âge de 5 ans du côté de l’Isère. Plus précisément au club de l’US 2 PONTS, dans la banlieue grenobloise. Il décide de prendre la direction du FCG à l’âge de 13 ans, où il fera ses classes jusqu’à sa première année espoir. Il quittera ensuite le club isérois pour rejoindre le centre de formation du MHR. Un départ justifié par l’ambition de jouer à haut niveau : « Au FCG je n’étais pas forcément dans les petits papiers. Le MHR m’a contacté par l’intermédiaire de Joan Caudullo, directeur du centre de formation. J’ai directement adhéré au projet du club et j’ai donc décidé de m’y engager pour 2 ans ». Fraichement débarqué de Grenoble au début de l’été, il prend part à la préparation d’intersaison avec le groupe professionnel. En profitant de l’absence des internationaux Reinach et Aprasidze ainsi que des pépins physiques de Paillaugue, il dispute les deux matchs amicaux, le premier face à l’USAP et le deuxième face au Stade Français, lors du stage de préparation en Corse. Il disputera ensuite le début de saison avec le groupe espoir. Mais, avec l’hécatombe au poste de numéro 9, il sera très vite rappelé avec le groupe professionnel. Avec les blessures de Paillaugue, Aprasidze et Doan, il figure par deux fois sur la feuille de match lors de la 10e et 11e journée. Malheureusement, il n’entrera pas en jeu sur ces deux rencontres, des choix dont il a su tirer du positif : « J’étais forcément un peu déçu, mais sur les 2 rencontres, les matchs étaient accrochés, j’ai compris que c’était compliqué de me faire rentrer dans ces circonstances. Mais j’étais déjà très heureux d’être dans le groupe à 2 reprises ». Il n'a pas fallu attendre longtemps pour le voir enfin fouler les pelouses du TOP 14. Remplaçant une nouvelle fois pour le derby du Languedoc face à l’USAP, ce match sera le bon. À un quart d’heure de la fin, alors que le MHR domine largement, mais n’a toujours pas le bonus offensif, Aubin Eymeri entre en jeu à la mêlée : « Un peu de stress au moment de rentrer sur le terrain. Durant le match, on fait abstraction et c’est que du bonheur. » C’était Noël avant l’heure sur la pelouse du GGL Stadium. Pour ses premières minutes en pro, Eymeri vient inscrire l’essai du bonus à 3 minutes de la fin du match. Un moment qu’il n’est pas près d’oublier : « Effectivement, c'était noël avant l’heure pour moi. Il y a eu une occasion, j'étais là au bon moment, j'ai su la saisir. Je ne pouvais pas rêver mieux et le fait que ce soit l’essai du bonus, c’est encore plus gratifiant. Et de plus, devant un beau public du MHR ». Ce week-end, avec 3 demis de mêlée toujours indisponible, Aubin Eymeri devrait découvrir la Champions Cup avec la réception de Exeter Chiefs.\nVIDEO. USAP. 100% cagade : Acebes et Deghmache offrent le bonus offensif au MHR\nUn demi de mêlée très offensif \nPourtant doté d’un physique plutôt longiligne, 1m82 pour 78kg, Eymeri colle très bien au ballon. Un demi de mêlée qui possède une très belle lecture du jeu et un jeu au pied assez efficace. S’il n’a pas encore eu la possibilité de montrer tout l’étendu de son talent au grand public, c’est autour des rucks qu’il est le plus dangereux. Très bon ballon en main et doté d’une belle pointe de vitesse, il sait peser sur les défenses adverses d’après son entraineur en espoir Anthony Floch : « C’est un 9 qui porte bien le ballon et pèse beaucoup sur les défenses autour des rucks ». Un demi de mêlée qui n’a pas peur d’entreprendre comme il l’a démontré lors de sa première rentrée : « Il ne doute pas et n’a pas hésité à engager et prendre les choses en main pour son premier match. Il a marqué et je ne suis pas surpris. » Même si ce jeune demi de mêlée présente beaucoup de qualité, il garde les pieds sur terre et sait que la route est longue pour espérer faire partie du monde professionnel : « Je dois perfectionner mon jeu et mon leadership. Il me reste également à travailler encore physiquement. Je dois encore progresser sur tous les aspects de mon jeu. Il y a encore beaucoup de chemin avant de prétendre à ce niveau-là. »\nPour y arriver, le jeune Montpelliérain essaye de s’inspirer de ce qu’il se fait de mieux dans notre championnat, notamment de Baptiste Serin, dont il apprécie particulièrement le style de jeu. Après ses débuts en pro, le jeune demi de mêlée espère pouvoir croquer le plus possible et réaliser quelque chose de grand avec le groupe espoir pour cette saison : « Sur le plan collectif, après notre bon début de saison en championnat, j’aimerais aller le plus loin possible avec le groupe espoir, et pourquoi pas décrocher le titre de champion de France. En second, sur le plan personnel, progresser au maximum et réapparaître sur des feuilles de match avec le groupe pro ». On devrait surement revoir le jeune ciste à l’œuvre dès ce week-end en Champions Cup, une nouvelle occasion pour lui de montrer toutes ses qualités au grand public.", + "category": "", + "link": "https://www.lerugbynistere.fr/news/rugby-mhr-il-a-fait-sa-premiere-en-top-14-decouvrez-aubin-eymeri-0912211353.php", + "creator": "", + "pubDate": "2021-12-09 15:21:00", + "enclosure": "https://www.lerugbynistere.fr/photos/aubin-eymeri-09-12-21-505.jpg", + "enclosureType": "image/jpeg", + "image": "", + "language": "fr", + "folder": "00.03 News/Sport - FR", + "feed": "Le Rugbynistere", + "read": false, + "favorite": false, + "created": false, + "tags": [], + "hash": "14a20bb952802ec9a772e062dfc28da9" + }, + { + "title": "RUGBY.

Le match à ne pas rater : UBB vs Leicester, un Choc des leaders aux allures de CrunchNorthampton-UBB : le poteau gagnant (12-16)\nPour son entrée en lice dans l’édition 2020-2021, l’UBB se déplaçait sur la pelouse des Saints de Courtney Lawes. Un match très serré, qui fut d’abord un échange de coup de pied entre Biggar et Botica. Jusqu’à la 74ᵉ minute, où après une tentative de Matthieu Jalibert qui échoue sur le poteau, l’Argentin Santiago Cordero s’empare du ballon au nez et à la barbe des Anglais pour inscrire le seul essai de la rencontre. Une réalisation décisive, puisque l’UBB, grâce à cet essai, repris l’avantage au score. Une avance qu’ils garderont jusqu’au coup de sifflet, et qui leur permettra d’entamer de la meilleure des manières leur aventure européenne.\n\nChampions Cup. Northampton, la pire équipe pour se remettre en confiance pour le Racing 92 ?Bordeaux-Bristol : une première gagnante (36-17)\nPour ses premières phases finales dans la grande Coupe d’Europe, les hommes de Christophe Urios recevaient les Anglais de Bristol, en ⅛ de finale. Après un début de rencontre assez délicat (3-8), le pied de Matthieu Jalibert permet à ses coéquipiers de repasser devant à la pause (15-14). Une rencontre engagée, qui voit l’ancien Bordelais Semi Radradra totalement muselé par la défense locale. Le second acte voit les joueurs de l’UBB repasser devant au score (22-17), grâce à un essai de l’ouvreur français. Mais voilà, Bordeaux est trop indiscipliné, et Kane Douglas reçoit un carton jaune à 10 minutes de la fin de la rencontre. Une sanction qui aurait pu coûter la victoire aux futurs demi-finalistes, mais, portés par une motivation sans faille, ces derniers reprendront les commandes du match, avec deux nouveaux essais (Dweba et Ducuing). Une victoire finale 36-17, qui fait office de revanche après l’élimination en demi-finale de Challenge Cup lors de l’année précédente, par cette même équipe de Bristol (37-20).\nVIDEO. Premiership. Semi Radradra (Bristol) prouve une fois de plus qu'il évolue dans une autre dimensionUBB-Exeter : Premières expériences anglaises\nAvant les affrontements face à Northampton et Bristol, l’UBB a joué une seule autre équipe anglaise en Coupe d’Europe : Exeter. Deux rencontres lors de l’édition 2015-2016, et 2 autres lors de celle de 2016-2017. Des matchs qui ont forgé l’expérience des Bordelais en Champions Cup, encore novices à cette époque à l’échelle continentale. Menée à l’époque par Raphaël Ibañez, l’UBB avait remporté deux matchs (dont un à l’extérieur, 7-13) sur les quatre affrontements entre ces deux écuries. Des succès qui portent à 4 le nombre de victoires de Bordeaux face à des équipes anglaises en Coupe d’Europe, pour seulement 2 défaites (la dernière datant de 5 ans).\nRugby. Top 14.

Voici les forces et les faiblesses de cette équipe !", + "content": "Là, derrière notre écran, on est désormais certains que les plus conservateurs de la communauté rugby sont en ce moment comblés par une chose : le renouveau d'un monument du rugby européen. Les Leicester Tigers, 20 titres majeurs dont 2 coupes d'Europe, sont après des années à dépérir, en train de se replacer au centre de l'échiquier anglais et qui sait bientôt peut-être, de l'Europe. Invaincus au bout de 4 journées de Premiership - et après une deuxième partie de saison dernière en boulet de canon - on avait déjà décidé de parler des Tigers il y a 2 mois de ça, histoire de ne pas faire passer ça pour un coup de pot, un rebond favorable ou un calendrier avantageux.\nCOUPE D'EUROPE. Futurs adversaires de l'UBB, les Tigres de Leicester ont retrouvé des griffes acérées\nBien nous en a pris. Loin de nous l'idée de s'autoproclamer précurseurs, mais force est de constater que le club des Midlands est toujours invaincu cette saison, avec 9 victoires en autant de rencontres. Exeter, les Saracens, les Harlequins... tous les cadors du championnat anglais y sont passés, concassés par un 8 de devant XXL. Justement, posons les bases des forces et des faiblesses de cette équipe !\nUn pack à la sauce sud-africaine\nNous l'évoquions déjà ce mercredi au travers d'un article présentant le choc du week-end face à l'UBB : les Leicester Tigers disposent d'un 8 de devant colossal. Composé d'une première ligne 4 étoiles (Genge - Montoya - Cole), d'une troisième ligne 100% sud-af' (Liebenberg, Van Staden, Wiese) et cornaqué par les anciens 2ème lignes de légende Steve Borthwich mais aussi Louis Deacon, celui-ci marche clairement sur tout le monde cette saison. Lors de la dernière finale de Challenge Cup et bien que dominés dans l'ensemble par Montpellier, les Tigers avaient déjà montré aux Héraultais de quel bois se chauffait leurs ballons portés. Mais au-delà de cette force de frappe énorme sur maul et d'une mêlée ancrée dans le sol comme de la roche, les hommes de Welford Road se plaisent à dominer physiquement l'adverse dans le jeu, là où ces hommes précédemment nommés adore marquer au fer rouge leur adversaire. Et au cas où celà ne suffirait pas, les Nemani Nadolo (137kg), Freddie Stewart (1m96 pour 102kg) et Matias Moroni finissent généralement le travail derrière... À la sud-africaine, quoi !\nSteve Borthwich, le gourou\nAu-delà des recrues intéressantes et du renouvellement d'un groupe marqué par les années récentes du club, un homme est clairement le symbole du renouveau des Tigers, Steve Borthwich. L'ancien 2ème ligne du XV de la Rose a repris les rênes de ce bateau qui tanguait pour en faire un navire de guerre. Comme Ellis Genge l'évoquait récemment pour RugbyPass, Borthwich est arrivé dans le centre de l'Angleterre comme il l'avait toujours fait durant sa carrière : avec humilité et générosité. \"Je n'ai jamais été le plus talentueux mais j'ai toujours énormément travaillé\", confiait-il à Gengy. Résultat ? D'après le pilier de 26 ans, il a su insuffler cette éthique de travail et cette mentalité de champion à tout les Leicestermen en très peu de temps. Emmené par le charisme et la science du jeu de son coach, c'est tout le club qui suit marche désormais dans ses pas. Et c'est aussi en ce sens que le duel à distance entre lui et Christophe Urios de samedi s'annonce si passionnant...\nUne équipe clinique et forte sur les bases\nOn l'a dit, Leicester possède donc un très gros pack et un staff avec des garçons parmi les meilleurs spécialistes du jeu d'avants. Est-ce dans ce sillage que les Tigers possèdent la meilleure défense de Premiership ? En grande partie, probablement. Car très organisés et durs sur l'homme, guidés par le Puma expérimenté (57 capes) Tuto Moroni derrière, le jeu sans ballon des hommes en vert pose de gros problèmes à tous ses adversaires cette saison. En plus de ça, menée d'une main de maître par la charnière de club la plus expérimentée du vieux-continent (189 sélections), cette équipe a su trouver une efficacité rare offensivement. Youngs et Ford jouent étonnamment ce qui semble être le meilleur rugby de leur carrière et Leicester, sans être géniale, s'avère être extrêmement difficile à bouger mais aussi capable de marquer des points presque à chaque fois qu'elle en a l'occasion. Ah le fameux flegme anglais...\n\nLa faille ? La vitesse, la vitesse, la vitesse ! \nEnfin, de ce que l'on suit d'eux, l'une des seules de cette équipe anglaise est la capacité à se déployer lorsque l'adversaire met beaucoup de vitesse. Pour l'exemple, Nemani Nadolo n'est pas le plus vif sur son aile et surtout, certaines formations ont trouvé des failles en attaquant très vite les extérieurs, les Tigers se révélant également relativement indisciplinés à chaque fois qu'ils étaient déplacés à outrance... Est-ce une solution pour l'UBB ce week-end ? Évidemment, surtout quand on connaît la capacité des Girondins à pratiquer un jeu fait de vitesse, à l'image de leur performance au Racing il y a 10 jours.

Northampton, la pire équipe pour se remettre en confiance pour le Racing 92 ?\n\n\n98%\n\n\nCette semaine, nous vous avons parlé des Saints comme une équipe très joueuse derrière. Mais ce qui attend les Racingmen, c'est aussi un gros combat devant. L'an passé, les Anglais n'ont perdu que 4 de leur 180 rucks. Soit un pourcentage de réussite de 98 %. Les Franciliens peuvent se rassurer en se disant que jamais ils n'ont été battus par cette formation anglaise en quatre confrontations. Néanmoins, ce ne sera pas un déplacement facile pour les hommes de Laurent Travers puisque leurs futurs adversaires peuvent se targuer de n'avoir perdu que 2 de leurs 12 derniers matchs à la maison face à des formations de Top 14.\n\n\nCardiff vs Toulouse\n\n\n\nTouché par des cas de Covid, Cardiff a fait avec les moyens du bord pour composer une équipe afin de ne pas avoir match perdu sur tapis vert à l'instar des Scarlets. Les Blues vont-ils pouvoir tenir tête au champion d'Europe mené par ses Tricolores récents vainqueurs des All Blacks ? L'histoire récente entre les deux formations nous montre que les Toulousains n'ont pas la vie facile face aux Gallois. En effet, lors de leurs derniers affrontements à l'occasion de la saison 2017/2018, Cardiff l'avait emporté 17 à 15 et 18 à 13. En cas de succès samedi, les Gallois égaliseraient à 4 succès partout.Toulouse. Ugo Mola : ''Le niveau de détestation du Stade Toulousain s'est amplifié ces derniers temps''\n\n\nUBB vs Leicester\n\n\n18\n\n\nL'UBB, leader du Top 14, affronte Leicester, leader de la Premiership, pour la première fois en compétition européenne. Un choc qui promet tant les Anglais impressionnent cette saison en étant invaincus en championnat. L'an passé, les Tigres avaient marqué le plus de points (204) et d’essais (24) en Challenge Cup. Ce n'est pas tout puisqu'ils avaient aussi dominé les classements de ballons joués à la main, mètres parcourus ballons en main, franchissements, plaquages et passes après contact. Voilà qui annonce la couleur pour les Bordelais.\n\n\nCHAMPIONS CUP. Le match à ne pas rater : UBB vs Leicester, un Choc des leaders aux allures de Crunch\nClermont vs Ulster\n\n\nAvec six victoires pour autant de défaites en Top 14, Clermont est loin d'être la machine offensive qui faisait peur à toute l'Europe il y a quelques années. L'ASM reste d'ailleurs sur trois revers en Champions Cup. Sa plus longue série. Mais son prochain adversaire, l'Ulster, n'a plus gagné en France depuis 2016 et une rencontre face à Oyonnax. Ce qui porte sa série à 6 revers. Ce samedi, l'une des deux séries pourrait prendre fin.\n\n\n3\n\n\nCastres vs Harlequins\n\n\nLe CO a domicile en Champions Cup, c'est du solide. En effet, les Tarnais n'ont plus été battus dans cette compétition depuis 2015. Ils restent sur cinq succès en sept rencontres, pour deux nuls. La coïncidence veut que leur dernière défaite à la maison remonte justement à la réception des Harlequins en janvier 2015. Les deux formations sont donc liées à plus d'un titre. L'ECPR nous rappelle que la plus large victoire du Castres Olympique et la plus lourde défaite des Harlequins en Champions Cup ont eu lieu lorsqu’ils se sont rencontrés en janvier 2005 (58-13).\n\n\n\nStade Rochelais vs Glasgow\n\n\n\nAttention à la discipline côté rochelais face à des Écossais qui ont remporté trois de leurs quatre déplacements chez une équipe de Top 14 en Champions Cup. L'an passé, les Maritimes avaient été la 3e équipe la plus pénalisée après l'UBB (77) et Clermont (56). Un homme avait notamment cristallisé cette indiscipline : Levani Botia. Personne n'a oublié son carton rouge reçu en finale face à Toulousain. Avec 8 pénalités à son encontre, le Fidjien a été le joueur le plus pénalisé de la compétition la saison passée.\n\n\n\nExeter vs Montpellier\n\n\nDétrôné par Toulouse l'an dernier, Exeter est un des gros morceaux de cette saison européenne. En particulier à domicile où les Chiefs n'ont plus perdu depuis 2018 avec cinq succès. Notamment face au MHR lors de l'édition 2017/2018. Cependant, le MHR a déjà gagné en Angleterre face à cette adversaire. Mais ça remonte à l'exercice 2010/2011. A l'époque, les deux formations jouaient la Challenge Cup.\n\n\n5\n\n\nConnacht vs Stade Français\n\n\n\nLes Parisiens font leur retour en Champions Cup après plusieurs années passées à jouer la Challenge Cup. On n'avait plus vu Paris dans cette compétition depuis l'édition 2015/2016. Cette année-là, les Soldats roses s'étaient déjà déplacé en Irlande du côté du Munster avec un revers 13-26. Le Stade Français a toutes les raisons de se méfier de son futur adversaire sur sa pelouse où il a gagné 14 de ses 17 derniers matchs européens. L'an dernier, le Connacht a gagné en moyenne le plus de mètres (575) et battu le plus de défenseurs (34) par match.Top 14. Stade Français.

On 20 November 1984, in the southern German city of Freiburg, two film-makers faced each other in court for the first day of a trial that was to last nearly two and a half years. The plaintiff, Leni Riefenstahl, had been Hitler’s favourite film-maker. Now 82, she showed up to court in a sheepskin coat over a beige suit, her blond hair set in a large neat perm framing a tanned face. The defendant was a striking, dark-haired 32-year-old documentary maker. Her name was Nina Gladitz, and the outcome of the trial would shape the rest of her life.
During the Nazi era, Riefenstahl had been the regime’s most skilled propagandist, directing films that continue to be both reviled for their glorification of the Third Reich and considered landmarks of early cinema for their innovations and technical mastery. Once the second world war was over, Riefenstahl sought to distance herself from the regime she had served, portraying herself as an apolitical naif whose only motivation was making the most beautiful art possible. “I don’t know what I should apologise for,” she once said. “All my films won the top prize.”

As of today, there’s yet another way to access YouTube TV. Google’s streaming television service is now available on Comcast’sXfinity Flex set-top boxes. It joins Sling TV and Hulu + Live TV as one of three alternatives to the company's own Xfinity TV service.
As with the other platforms where it’s available, YouTube TV offers access to more than 85 channels, including ones from ABC, CBS and Fox. It also comes with unlimited cloud DVR storage and support for three simultaneous streams. Outside of the app, you can access the service using the Xfinity Voice Remote. The announcement comes just one day after Google and Roku reached a multi-year deal to end a dispute that had seen the YouTube TV app removed from the Roku Store.

“We had to stop reservations we got so many,” he added. “We stopped at 200,000, and those are orders.

Farley noted during the show that full production capacity for the Lightning currently sits at “70,000 or 80,000 units."

"The introduction of women's national teams to NHL 22 as part of the upcoming IIHF content will be an important moment for the franchise in its continued effort to reflect the diversity of the hockey community," EA Sports vice president Sean Ramjagsingh told ESPN.
The move is long overdue. Other major sports games franchises have added women's teams over the last several years. Women players were introduced to EA's FIFA series in 2015, while NBA 2K20 was the first game in the 2K Games franchise to feature the WNBA.
Meanwhile, starting today, NHL 22 includes IIHF men's and junior teams. You can play through the IIHF World Junior Championship now and the IIHF Ice Hockey World Championship next month. The branding and jerseys for men's national teams will be updated in January too.

"The introduction of women's national teams to NHL 22 as part of the upcoming IIHF content will be an important moment for the franchise in its continued effort to reflect the diversity of the hockey community," EA Sports vice president Sean Ramjagsingh told ESPN.
The move is long overdue. Other major sports games franchises have added women's teams over the last several years. Women players were introduced to EA's FIFA series in 2015, while NBA 2K20 was the first game in the 2K Games franchise to feature the WNBA.
Meanwhile, starting today, NHL 22 includes IIHF men's and junior teams. You can play through the IIHF World Junior Championship now and the IIHF Ice Hockey World Championship next month. The branding and jerseys for men's national teams will be updated in January too.

To give you another way to reflect upon 2021, Instagram is rolling out a feature called Playback.
Starting today, the app will create a Playback using up to ten of your Stories. You'll be able to remove some of the Stories and add your own through the Stories archive. A message will appear on the feed that asks if you'd like to create or modify your Playback. Instagram says that if you see a Story with a 2021 sticker, you can tap on it to see and share your own Playback. The feature will only be available for a few weeks, so folks can "celebrate and reflect on 2021 ahead of the New Year," according to Instagram.
Over the last few years, many Instagram users have been using third-party apps to create a collage of their top nine most-liked posts of the year, which they can share in the main feed or Stories. Given how popular the top nice grid is each year, it would have been nice to see Instagram offer that feature in its own app. It seems Playback will have to suffice for now.

There are franchise-specific channels for Survivor, The Challenge, PAW Patrol and SpongeBob Squarepants too.
The other channels focus on themes and/or genres, including drama, comedy, adult animation, Black voices, crime and justice and reality shows. "Nostalgic Hits" showcases hit series from the '80s and '90s, including Cheers, Frasier and Wings. "TV Classics" goes a bit further back with episodes from the likes of I Love Lucy, The Love Boat and The Twilight Zone.
There are several kid-friendly channels too, such as "Animation Favorites," "Kids & Family Fun" and "Preschool Corner." Later this month, Paramount+ will add two more live channels: Movies and one focused on RuPaul's Drag Race. In addition to these channels, the platform offers live sports, breaking news from CBSN and, for Premium subscribers, a live stream of their local CBS station.
ViacomCBS says the live channels, which are available to all paid Paramount+ subscribers, were "inspired and informed" by Pluto TV, its free streaming platform. Pluto TV founder Tom Ryan became president and CEO of ViacomCBS Streaming last year.

If you've been on the hunt for a good deal on a large multi-cooker, Walmart has the 8-quart Instant Pot Duo Nova for only $59 right now. That's nearly half off the price it's going for on Amazon right now as well as the lowest we've seen in a long time.
Buy Instant Pot Duo Nova (8-quart) at Walmart - $59This particular Instant Pot is a Walmart exclusive, but it's almost identical to the standard Duo Nova aside from its front panel looking a bit different. It's an upgraded version of the Instant Pot Duo, adding a lid that automatically seals shut when you close it. It's a 7-in-1 device, combining a pressure cooker, yogurt maker, rice cooker, cake maker, slow cooker, egg cooker and sauté machine into one. You're also getting a number of different one-touch cooking programs for things like soup, meat and stew, porridge and more, taking even more of the guesswork out of preparing a meal for your family. And with the 8-quart model, you'll be able to prepare a lot of food — it's arguably the best size for large families and those who entertain often.
The number of Instant Pot models has grown over the years to the point that there's almost a confusing number of these devices available. Some are more straightforward than others, like the Duo Crisp, which includes an air-fry mode and comes with the appropriate lid for it. But the Duo Nova remains a solid option for newbies as it combines the convenience of a pressure cooker with a bunch of other functions in a relatively counter-friendly appliance. You may need to make a bit more space for the 8-quart model in your kitchen, but it's a small price to pay for all of the cooking time you'll get back while using it.

Kotakureports Masayuki Uemura, the lead creator of the Famicom and Super Famicom (aka NES and SNES), died on December 6th at the age of 78. He started working at Sharp, where he sold solar cell and light sensor technology, but he's best remembered for a long and highly influential run at Nintendo that effectively revived the video game industry following the 1983 crash.
Uemura first became involved with Nintendo after the company's Gunpei Yokoi asked about using Sharp solar cells to produce light gun games. The future console designer joined Nintendo in 1971, and the company released gun games that included a home-friendly game called Duck Hunt (yes, the predecessor of the NES title). Company president Hiroshi Yamauchi put Uemura in charge of the R&D2 division responsible for hardware, including consoles, and in November 1981 famously called Uemura asking him to build a machine that lets you play arcade games on your TV. The result was 1983's Famicom, the system that would become the NES outside of Japan.
You know at least some of what happened next. The Famicom and NES were wild successes, selling nearly 62 million units combined and rejuvenating interest in home consoles. Uemura then led work on the Super Famicom, whose global launch as the SNES further cemented Nintendo's reputation. He also produced some NES games, including Ice Climber and three sports titles. He retired from Nintendo in 2004, but continued to serve as an advisor and would go on to teach and research video games as a professor at Ritsumeikan University.
It's hard to overstate Uemura's influence. The video game business as it exists today arguably owes much to the skill of Uemura and his team when they designed their first TV consoles. He also helped grow Japan's overall tech industry by making Nintendo a global force in electronics. While he certainly wasn't the only star at Nintendo, he was one of the most directly influential.

The holiday shopping season is one of the best times of the year to look for a robot vacuum. Since many are quite expensive, you'll usually find good discounts during this time, and even some of the most budget-friendly models can be on sale. Today, Amazon has a one-day sale on a mid-range Shark robo-vac that brings the machine down to its lowest price yet. The Shark AV2001 robot vacuum with AI navigation is on sale for $300, or $130 off its normal price.
Buy Shark AV2001 at Amazon - $300Shark took the top spot in our budget robot vacuum guide, and this model is more advanced and has more suction power than the one we tested. It has a self-cleaning brush roll that will help it pick up debris and even pet hair more easily, and it supports UltraClean Mode, which lets you deep clean specific rooms of your home. It moves through your home in neat rows thanks to its AI laser navigation system and it should bump into furniture less than other robo-vacs thanks to its ability to detect and avoid objects four inches high or taller.
The AV2001 also has precision home mapping with LiDAR, which means it'll learn the layout of your home as it cleans the first few times. You can then use the companion mobile app to send the machine to clean your bedroom only, and you can also set "no-go" zones to block off certain areas. The mobile app also lets you control the robot from anywhere and set cleaning schedules, and since it's compatible with Alexa and the Google Assistant, you could do all that with voice commands if you prefer. While it doesn't have a clean base like some higher-end robot vacuums do, it does come with a dock that it'll automatically return to once it's done cleaning or when it's battery has run low. All of those features make it a pretty capable robo-vac and a good option if you've been holding out for a good deal on a mid-range device.

The idea is to help you find others that share your musical taste, according to Tinder.
The new feature requires that you link your account to Spotify and choose an Anthem song "that defines [you] inside and out," according to Tinder. If you've done all that, you'll be able to head over to the Explore section and find the Music Mode card. Once you enable that, it'll automatically play any member's chosen anthem when you swipe their profile.
Tinder and Spotify added the Anthem feature back in 2016, so Music Mode is a new way discovering users favorite songs. Tinder notes that "around 40 percent of all Gen Z members globally have already added Anthems to their profiles and when they do, they see a 10 percent increase in matches." Tinder said the Explore tab introduced this summer is the "biggest update to Tinder since the invention of the original Swipe feature," thanks to the interactive features.
At the very least, Music Mode could help reduce the awkwardness of realizing you and your date have nothing in common when it comes to music. "Songs are deeply personal, and Music Mode is a place to spark something new through music," Tinder VP Kyle Miller said in the press release. The new feature should launch "soon," according to Tinder.

The development doesn't come as a surprise: Novi co-founder David Marcus previously said that Meta will roll out Novi payments to all of its subsidiaries, namely Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp. For WhatsApp, sending money is almost as easy as sending a message — users won't even need to leave the application. It's also a simple way to send money without incurring fees. To do so, users will have to find their intended contact within WhatsApp, tap the paper clip icon on Android or the + icon on iOS in the text bar, select Payment and follow instructions on how to log into their Novi account.
Head of Novi Stephane Kasriel said on Twitter: "We often hear that people use WhatsApp to coordinate sending money to loved ones, and Novi enables people to do that securely, instantly and with no fees. Payments will appear directly in people’s chat."
Facebook has been teasing its digital wallet and the Diem (formerly Libra) cryptocurrency it was supposed to support for years. After facing pushback from regulators around the world, though, the Diem Association shifted its focus, and Novi ended up using a stablecoin called the Pax Dollar (USDP) that's backed by the US dollar. On Novi, 1 USDP is equivalent to 1 USD. People won't be buying cryptocurrency when they use it, and it's simply money transfers that use stablecoin as an instrument. While sending USDP via Novi on WhatsApp has extremely limited availability for now, Kasriel said the service will look to expand its reach after getting feedback from users about the experience.

This ties into Apple’s spare parts and self-replacement service coming in 2022, but the "unknown part" label might not thrill advocates for third-party component options. Apple clearly wants you to use its official parts. That said, it may help you catch shops lying about the quality of their replacements.

Five years since it ditched the chronological feed, Instagram might be bringing it back. Speaking to lawmakers at a Senate hearing on Instagram and teen safety, Instagram head Adam Mosseri said he supports “giving people the option to have a chronological feed.”
Instagram has confirmed this on Twitter, adding there would be the "option to see posts from people you follow in chronological order." The app is also adding a "favorites" feed to surface posts from designated friends higher in the feed. Both would be optional.
According to a report from Nikkei Asia, Apple was forced to cease iPhone and iPad production for several days when it was supposed to kick into high gear. Apple factories typically ramp up production during the Chinese holidays at the beginning of October, running 24-hour shifts so it can meet holiday shopping demands. This year, though, it reportedly gave its workers some time off instead, due to limited chip and component supplies.
You might recall me testing a real-world jetsuit from Gravity Industries earlier this year, but now researchers in Italy are strapping them to robots. They believe flying humanoid bots could one day serve as first-line of emergency responders.
YouTube TV is finally back on Roku streaming devices following a dispute between the two parties that has dragged on since April. Roku originally pulled YouTube TV because it said Google made anti-competitive demands, like more prominent placements for the apps and demanding Roku use certain chips in its hardware.

", + "content": "Apple’s incoming iOS 15.2 update includes a "parts and service history" section that indicates not only if the battery, camera and display have been replaced but also if they're officially sanctioned Apple parts. If something is listed as an "unknown part," it's either unofficial, malfunctioning or an already-used part from another iPhone.
This ties into Apple’s spare parts and self-replacement service coming in 2022, but the "unknown part" label might not thrill advocates for third-party component options. Apple clearly wants you to use its official parts. That said, it may help you catch shops lying about the quality of their replacements.
I’m intrigued to see how Apple’s self-repair service comes into being. What a nerdy reason to be excited for 2022.

Five years since it ditched the chronological feed, Instagram might be bringing it back. Speaking to lawmakers at a Senate hearing on Instagram and teen safety, Instagram head Adam Mosseri said he supports “giving people the option to have a chronological feed.”
Instagram has confirmed this on Twitter, adding there would be the "option to see posts from people you follow in chronological order." The app is also adding a "favorites" feed to surface posts from designated friends higher in the feed. Both would be optional.
According to a report from Nikkei Asia, Apple was forced to cease iPhone and iPad production for several days when it was supposed to kick into high gear. Apple factories typically ramp up production during the Chinese holidays at the beginning of October, running 24-hour shifts so it can meet holiday shopping demands. This year, though, it reportedly gave its workers some time off instead, due to limited chip and component supplies.
You might recall me testing a real-world jetsuit from Gravity Industries earlier this year, but now researchers in Italy are strapping them to robots. They believe flying humanoid bots could one day serve as first-line of emergency responders.
YouTube TV is finally back on Roku streaming devices following a dispute between the two parties that has dragged on since April. Roku originally pulled YouTube TV because it said Google made anti-competitive demands, like more prominent placements for the apps and demanding Roku use certain chips in its hardware. Google retorted that Roku's claims were "baseless," and it was focused on "ensuring a high quality and consistent experience for viewers."

On top of the Find N, Oppo is set to reveal other products, having teased a "cutting-edge" neural processing unit (NPU) and smart glasses.

Amazon holds a position of "absolute dominance" in the Italian brokerage services market, "which has allowed it to promote its own logistics service, called Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA)," the authority wrote in a (Google translated) press release.
According to the AGCM, companies must use Amazon's FBA service if they want access to key benefits like the Prime label, which in turn allows them to participate in Black Friday sales and other key events. "Amazon has thus prevented third-party sellers from associating the Prime label with offers not managed with FBA," it said.
The authority said access to those functions are "crucial" for seller success. It also noted that third-party sellers using FBA are not subject to the same stringent performance requirements as non-FBA sellers. As such, they're less likely to be suspended from the platform if they fail to meet certain goals. Finally, it noted that sellers using Amazon's logistics services are discouraged from offering their products on other online platforms, at least to the same extent they do on Amazon.
The AGCM said it imposed the steep fine as it considered Amazon's actions to be "particularly serious" given their duration and the effects they've caused. On top of the fine, it has demanded that Amazon grant the privileges enjoyed by FBA sellers to all third-party sellers, provided they respect other rules and laws. It will have to define and publish those standards within a year, and its actions will be enforced by a monitoring trustee.
In a statement to Engadget, an Amazon spokesperson said the company "strongly disagreed" with the decision and will appeal. It also noted that non-FBA sellers can use its Seller Fulfilled Prime (SFP) service, which gives them access to Prime benefits without having to use Amazon’s logistics services.
We strongly disagree with the decision of the Italian Competition Authority (ICA) and we will appeal. The proposed fine and remedies are unjustified and disproportionate. More than half of all annual sales on Amazon in Italy come from SMBs, and their success is at the heart of our business model. Small and medium-sized businesses have multiple channels to sell their products both online and offline: Amazon is just one of those options. We constantly invest to support the growth of the 18,000 Italian SMBs that sell on Amazon, and we provide multiple tools to our sellers, including those who manage shipments themselves.
Last month, Amazon and Apple were fined $228 million in Italy for unfairly restricting Beats sales by limiting them to select retailers. The EU also handed Amazon a record $888 million fine for violating the bloc's strict GDPR data privacy laws. Other tech giants are also under scrutiny in the EU. Notably, the EU recently opened an antitrust investigation into Apple's App Store rules, particularly over commissions related to in-app purchases.

So far this year, the office has received reports of 578 breaches, according to its database. That's fewer than the 599 breaches reported in 2020 (PDF), but last year's breaches only affected about 26 million people. Since 2015, hacks or other IT incidents have been the leading reason people have their health records exposed, according to a report (PDF) from security company Bitglass.
