It's odd to see such an article on Euronews, who are usually very reliable on their reporting. Here we have a mix of different things, mainly existing in the media sphere but less in reality.

1. Leaked recordings – That's the resort of Mr. Pistorius, the Minister of Defence. But even blaming Mr. Pistorius is a bit far fetched, as it was one officer on a trip in Asia not following any safety code by joining a secret online meeting via public wifi and his private phone. Mr. Pistorius already explained the case in the last days. So the blame should go to that person ignoring the safety protocol or their IT service company for failing to instruct properly. Nothing to do with Scholz at all, but some tabloids of course print those baseless calls from opposition politicians. I just don't get why Euronews would publish that.

2. loose-lipped press conferences – Completely made up 'scandal' about Scholz indicating why Taurus cruise missiles cannot be delivered to Ukraine. He didn't even directly say it, but it was a media interpretation, that France and the UK provide geodata for their missiles and the UK has personnel in Ukraine. And on top, that information was already in the news in October 2023. Everyone knows it, it's public for half a year. I feel like waking up in a parallel universe, where made up stories and the norm. It was publicly known and he didn't even say it, yet he gets blamed for leaking secrets.

3. confused policy – Since the beginning, Scholz was against sending Taurus, like very other country asked about 500km missiles as well. He never changed his stance. The article also doesn't go into detail what would be confused about his policy.

Yet, it's getting mentioned what threats Russia is throwing against Germany by supporting Ukraine further. I looked up the writer and it's a British journalist at BBC radio. This article sounds more like a rant on Sun on Dailymail and is not up to the standard that I know from Euronews.

This whole topic about the Taurus cruise missiles feels like a bad act anyway, as no country provided 500 km missiles. Every country said no. And no means no. Unless it's Germany, then the questions comes again and again and again and fingers pointing at Scholz for standing with the same policy as always and as every other country in the world: no 500km missiles.

In a selected port, with a crane. That's basically the tl;dr from the video Kalash posted at 4:23 time index.

But the Houthis didn't fire at warships. I know some outlets had similar sounding titles but they were clickbait and their own articles were contradicting their title. The Houthis were firing towards merchant vessels and within 20 km or so, there was also a warship, which then reacted.

There is no context and nothing specific, as the headline makes it seem. He is just putting out phrases in an interview:

"Wars develop in phases," Stoltenberg said [...]

"We have to support Ukraine in both good and bad times," he said.

"We should also be prepared for bad news,” Stoltenberg added [...]

[...] Stoltenberg said. “The more we support the Ukraine, the faster the war will end."

In a way kinda. It's problematic though that China is using Uyghur forced labour to produce cheap solar panels.

This of course allows them to undercut any other manufacturer, driving them out of the market. So the delivery chain is getting kinda small and the products have forced labour attached to them.

Lots of Islamic Jihad & Hamas missiles fail during flight and kill Palestinians. Israel had published videos in the past showing e.g. 8 launches at night, pausing the video and showing how 2 or 3 suddenly turn down to the ground to hit the Gaza strip. And of course the local terrorist groups accounted dead Palestinians to Israel striking those locations. It's sometimes easy to show, with visible rocket engines at night and sometimes harder.

In the 1st step, maybe a year ago or so, they updated the Kasa app (v 3?) to only function with account and while being logged in at TP-Link servers to use your devices. And in now the 2nd step, they integrate Kasa into Tapo, which was always account-bound. The 3rd step is then probably the discontinuation of the Kasa app.

Kasa was their more premium product line, that was usable without internet connection and without manufacturer account - which is why I paid more to get those instead of the cheap Tapo products. But now my 'smart' power outlets are in a box in the basement collecting dust and I cannot recommend anyone to spend money on TP-Link smart products, as they remove features after sale.

I would not call that a U-turn:

Instead, the government pledges to meet the 2 percent target on average over a five-year period, as already set out in the recently published National Security Strategy.

Seems more like the same direction, just on a parallel lane.

On the one hand debatable, as it doesn't come 100% in line with the wording of the NATO guideline. On the other hand a practical course to measure across 5 years, as in some years there are larger procurements required than in others and overall the 2% are still met.

The siren system was just not used, I didn't see any reports that it failed.

Already days ago right after the fire, it was reported the fire services communicated to the public they had the fire under control. So it makes sense to not use the emergency siren system in such a case. But then suddenly - according to media and fire fighter reports - the fire started spreading super fast and it was no longer under control. But then it was too late for many.

Some paragraphs for tl;dr:

The discussions with China, Saudi Arabia, and on climate issues with Russia had been "complicated", he added.

Major oil producers fear the impact of drastic mitigation on their economies, and Russia and Saudi Arabia were blamed for the lack of progress in Goa.

Reports of Saudi and Chinese resistance, he added, "fly in the face of their claims of defending the interests of developing countries".

I'm quite disappointed by most comments so far talking about RAID and data loss. That is not what RAID is for at all.

RAID is for uptime/availability. When a drive fails, the system will keep running and working. For companies, that would lose thousands of currency per hour with a downtime, this is super important that the system keeps running. At home, it's convenience that you can order a new drive and replace without hours of setting up and copying before you can watch the next episode again.

Backups are against data loss. If a single drive fails, a RAID fails or you get some encryption malware or an employee destroys stuff on purpose, then everything is destroyed. It doesn't matter if it was a single, any RAID, HDD or SSD. You order a new drive, make a new volume and restore the data from your backup.

Translation: "We don't want to approve Sweden but we also don't want to take any blame or consequences. Just leave us alone and go annoy Turkey about it."

It's the radar, lidar, cameras only story that's coming up every few months for the last years. A few years ago Tesla went cameras only to save money, assuming it would be good enough. Other manufacturers/cars have a higher certification for autonomous driving but they are also using more sensors than just cameras.
