Frankreich verbietet ungefragte Telemarketing-Anrufe in einer "kleinen Revolution" für den Verkauf
Die Menschen in Frankreich müssen sich nicht mehr vor ständigen, unaufgeforderten Telemarketing-Anrufen von Unternehmen fürchten, da diese durch neue Gesetze verboten wurden. Alle Geschäftsbereiche sind von dem Verbot betroffen, aber einige erhalten möglicherweise trotzdem Telemarketing-Anrufe auf ihrem Telefon.
Ausnahmen von der Regel existieren. Kunden könnten angerufen werden, wenn sich der Anruf auf einen bereits abgeschlossenen Vertrag bezieht oder wenn ein Unternehmen in der Vergangenheit eine Marketingzustimmung beantragt und eingeholt hat.
"Es kann gar nicht genug betont werden, dass Frieden und Ruhe ein Recht sind und es an der Zeit ist, die Verbraucher nicht mehr unerwünschten Anwerben auszusetzen", sagte die Verbraucherschutzorganisation Que Choisir Ensemble (via BBC News). Die Präsidentin der Gruppe, Marie-Amandine Stévenin, ergänzte: "Diese Beobachtung gilt auch online und auf der Straße, die mit Forderungen nach Konsum durchdrungen sind... Das ist ein Sieg für die Verbraucher, von denen die überwiegende Mehrheit keine Verkaufsanrufe erhalten möchte."
Dieser Schritt ist jedoch nicht ohne potenzielle Kontroversen, da ein Regierungsminister glaubt, dass die Beschränkungen zum Verlust von bis zu 50.000 Arbeitsplätzen führen könnten. Obwohl 2025 festgestellt wurde, dass 97 % der Menschen von Telemarketing-Anrufen genervt waren, scheint dies ein Problem zu sein, das die überwiegende Mehrheit Frankreichs vereint.
Mourinho snakker om Casillas i Netflix-dokumentaren: «Jeg innså at de er bortskjemte
Netflix har nettopp sluppet en dokumentarserie i tre deler om den portugisiske treneren José Mourinho, akkurat idet han har gjort comeback i Real Madrid 13 år senere. Serien, som ganske enkelt har fått tittelen «Mourinho», skaper store overskrifter da treneren, som nå er 70 år, avslører at han ble tilbudt jobben som Manchester United-trener etter at Sir Alex Ferguson trakk seg tilbake i 2013 etter 26 år.
Mourinho ville ha vært «den utvalgte», et kallenavn som senere ble gitt til David Moyes, som var den som overtok rollen etter Ferguson… bare for å bli sparket etter ti måneder.
Mourinho sa imidlertid at han «trengte å føle seg elsket» etter et tøft siste år i Real Madrid, og valgte i stedet å vende tilbake til Chelsea. Mourinho endte opp i Manchester United i 2016, hvor han vant Europa League, men ble også sparket etter to og et halvt år.
Men den delen av dokumentaren som det snakkes mest om i Spania, er når han snakker om Iker Casillas, som var lagkaptein og regnet som verdens beste målvakt på det tidspunktet da Mourinho overtok laget.
Mourinho husker de tre første gangene han snakket med Casillas: første gang ba Casillas om mer ferie for landslagsspillerne, andre gang var det for å utsette treningen med en time fordi det var mye trafikk i Madrid, «og den tredje gangen fortalte han meg at de ikke ville dra til hotellet, at de foretrakk å møtes på kampdagen og dra direkte til stadion. På kort tid innså jeg at de var bortskjemte».
Mourinho satte som kjent Casillas på benken i en troféfri sesong i 2012/13, og hans offentlige konflikter med ham og andre spillere som Sergio Ramos førte til en anspent atmosfære og splittelse blant supporterne, og Mourinho forlot klubben. 13 år senere kan Mourinho stå overfor lignende problemer med store stjerner og store egoer i garderoben – vil han klare å oppnå bedre resultater denne gangen?
Word to the wise - if you're planning to wait for that leaked Zelda Switch 2, you'll have to contend with the price hike
Images of what appear to be a 40th anniversary Legend of Zelda-themed Switch 2 were shared online yesterday at ResetEra and later circulated across social media, and if it's real, it's an absolute beauty. Yet anyone now planning to hold off grabbing a Nintendo Switch 2 bundle in hopes of adding another Triforce-coated console to their setup is likely going to have to pay more.
From September 1 onwards, the Nintendo Switch 2 is rising from $449.99 to $499.99 in the US, though the official new UK price point has yet to be unveiled. Unless Nintendo decides to announce and roll out pre-orders over the next 20 days, it's going to be at least $50 higher than the basic standalone console. If you're a die-hard Zelda fan with cash to spare, that likely won't change your determination to grab one, but for anyone else, I recommend picking up the plain-Jane Nintendo machine now if your budget is anything but legendary.
looks like the Zelda 40th anniversary special edition console and controller have fully leakedfor anyone curious about the cryptic post I made in July"00840z::b,g,g"BEE-008 = SW2 Pro Controller model number40z = Zelda 40thb,g,g = black, gold, green https://t.co/iWmdRyOKWi pic.twitter.com/yWakcgtwjNAugust 11, 2026
Look, I get it. The leaked console looks pretty beautiful. The images of the flattened box, which were later re-posted by Nintendeal over at X (Twitter) today, depict not just a stunning Link tunic green console, but the best Switch 2 Joy-Con designs I've seen so far. I don't even have to imagine that'd be hard to ignore as a Zelda fan, as I'm someone who bought the Tears of the Kingdom OLED limited edition console despite there being absolutely nothing wrong with my original Switch. But I'd much sooner recommend that those who want a way to play the upcoming Ocarina of Time remake pick up the current system while it's still $449.99.
As this is still a leak, we don't even know for certain that it's an authentic Switch 2, nor do we know when it could be released if it were real. If you wait and it ends up not being a reality, you've squandered your chance to grab a cheaper console even more. There is a chance (though a very slim one) that Nintendo should surprise-drop a post of it with a pre-order link across its many social media channels over the next few days, meaning that it might stave off the incoming price markup, but I think that's a bit unrealistic.
Some X (Twitter) users like @NoRageQuit are re-sharing images of the leaked console packaging (and its matching Zelda Switch 2 Pro controller box) and stating that "Apparently it'll be coming out on November 12, 2026." That'd be long after the price increase would be in effect. Not to mention, as a limited-edition console, there's an extra hidden cost you've got to take into consideration.
Often Nintendo will inflate the cost of its special hardware as opposed to the usual iterations, and that was the case for the Tears of the Kingdom OLED Switch I mentioned earlier. While the original Switch OLED launched for $349.99, the Zelda-themed version was $359.99 when it hit US physical and online storefronts. With that in mind, you could be looking at $509.99 in total for the Switch 2, and that's likely without a game in tow.
Whereas, if you were to grab the Nintendo Switch 2 Choose Your Game Bundle now, you'd only be spending $499 at Amazon, and you'd have the choice of a download code for Mario Kart World, Donkey Kong Bananza, or Pokemon Pokopia. On the lead-up to the September price increases, online discount sites like Woot even dropped that exact bundle down to just $449.99, and there's every chance that deal could return.
If you're a collector and just want a fancy-looking console, I'm not going to stop you. In the end, it's up to you what you do with your cash, and as someone with a Zelda shrine of their own, I'm finding it hard to ignore myself. Yet, it doesn't take possessing the Triforce of Wisdom to know that if you want to be savvy with your cash, you're going to save the most by investing in the console sooner rather than later.

Brigid Kemmerer, welches ihrer Werke sie gerne adaptiert sehen würde: "Probably Defy the Night"
Während unserer Zeit in Asturien, Spanien, zum Celsius 232 Festival hatten wir die wunderbare Chance, mit vielen der aktuellen Top-Autoren weltweit zu sprechen. Ein Beispiel dafür ist Brigid Kemmerer, die vielleicht am bekanntesten für ihre Fantasy-Reihe ist, die mit Defy the Night beginnt, einer Geschichte, die Märchen- und reale Inspirationen aufgreift.
Im Gespräch mit Kemmerer in einem lokal untertitelten Interview, das Sie unten sehen können, haben wir gefragt, woher sie die Idee für Defy the Night hatte, und die Inspiration ist eine sehr fesselnde und bedeutende.
