Kalen DeBoer met with the media this week ahead of Alabama’s game with Oklahoma. The Sooners need to win one of their final two games to remain bowl eligible. The Alabama Head Coach spoke about the matchup in Norman. “Just the chance for us to go on the road and have to prove it again that we got what it takes...[they are] a physical football team all around. I think they are an extremely tough defense in all ways. What they do with their scheme and their personnel, they way they fly around. Just some skilled players...Each and every game takes on its own life. For us, all we’re focused on is the next play and the next game. And everything that goes into being our best. And that’s what the recipe for success has been here over the last month.” On ignoring outside noise and keeping the focus on Oklahoma Kalen: We don’t really talk about the outside because we know that if we don’t take care of our business, the rest doesn’t matter. It seems simple, I hope it’s simple.
Brussels, Belgium: EU rules requiring all new smartphones, tablets and cameras to use the same charger came into force on Saturday, in a change Brussels said will cut costs and waste. Manufacturers are now obliged to fit devices sold in the 27-nation bloc with a USB-C, the port chosen by the European Union as the common standard for charging electronic tools. "Starting today, all new mobile phones, tablets, digital cameras, headphones, speakers, keyboards and many other electronics sold in the EU will have to be equipped with a USB Type-C charging port," the EU Parliament wrote on social media X. The EU has said the single charger rule will simplify the life of Europeans and slash costs for consumers. By allowing consumers to purchase a new device without a new charger, it will also reduce the mountain of obsolete chargers, the bloc has argued. The law was first approved in 2022 following a tussle with US tech giant Apple. It allowed companies until December 28 this year to adapt. Makers of laptops will have extra time, from early 2026, to also follow suit. Most devices already use these cables, but Apple was more than a little reluctant. The firm said in 2021 that such regulation "stifles innovation", but by September last year it had begun shipping phones with the new port. Makers of electronic consumer items in Europe had agreed on a single charging norm from dozens on the market a decade ago under a voluntary agreement with the European Commission. But Apple, the world's biggest seller of smartphones, refused to abide by it and ditch its Lightning ports. Other manufacturers kept their alternative cables going, meaning there were about half a dozen types knocking around, creating a jumble of cables for consumers. USB-C ports can charge at up to 100 Watts, transfer data up to 40 gigabits per second, and can serve to hook up to external displays. At the time of its approval, the commission said the law was expected to save at least 200 million euros ($208 million) per year and cut more than a thousand tonnes of EU electronic waste every year. "It's time for THE charger," the European Commission wrote on X on Saturday. "It means better-charging technology, reduced e-waste, and less fuss to find the chargers you need."Michael Schumacher’s son Mick responds to sister Gina’s pregnancy: ‘So excited’
