Another recall from Anker for powerbanks

It's more than just Anker stuff.

 
I don't understand why private companies should have an obligation to employ people. If there's a job to do, then there's a job to do. If not, then not.
And if there are not enough jobs to do anymore to go on relying on everybody can do one of those jobs to make a living, then how about taxing properly and introducing unconditional basic income? <- When everything that needs doing is covered, then providing everyone with acceptable living space and food and other necessities should easily be covered too! Otherwise not everything that needs doing has been covered.

Rumor regarding Chinese president Xi Jinping
: https://www.indiatvnews.com/news/wo...e-sparks-global-speculation-2025-07-05-997583
"Chinese President Xi Jinping's sudden disappearance from the public eye since late May has triggered a storm of speculation both within and outside China. His prolonged absence from state media, public events, and diplomatic engagements has raised serious questions about his health, authority, and even the possibility of a power struggle or coup within the Chinese Communist Party (CCP)."

Random thoughts:
The US isn't providing Ukraine with air-defense, and Russia is struggling with their economy while trying to continue the war.
I wonder if due to this both parties are preparing their country for the previously offered seize-fire, where Russia keeps the parts they already claim to be theirs just in time before the complete front-lines collapse for Russia.
Which could the escalation before (how long with is last, really) peace. Like we've seen in Israel vs Iran, and maybe same with Gaza to.

FDA reports updating covid vaccine warning label:
There is now a more explicit mention of the risk for younger males found on the warning label for the Covid-19 vaccine. A long ongoing discussion has now somewhat simmered to an explicit message on the label. Research showing the vaccine impacts a tiny group of people, but when rolled-out to billions of people still potentially impacted tens of thousands of people.
"The warning on myocarditis and pericarditis in the Prescribing Information for Comirnaty and Spikevax has been updated to convey that the observed risk of myocarditis and pericarditis following vaccination with mRNA COVID-19 vaccines has been highest in males 12 through 24 years of age..."

Oh. I hadn't heard this. I don't quite know what to make of it. On the one hand it says it disappeared from May 20th but then was seen with Lukashenko in early June and in some footage (if authentic) with the communist party in June 30th.
So has he disappeared or not?. The news of his father mausoleum being revoked official status is also odd. It would hint at some internal power struggle, because any external actors wouldn't likely care for something like this,
and any health issue wouldn't likely cause this. But at the same time, if it is a power struggle, why would they hint at it with such a kind of useless move ? They either stage a coup, or coerce him to cede power or something like it,
but a change of administrative status of a tomb doesn't seem very useful. If it was any health issue but he or their trusted circle maintained all power, nowadays fake appearances would be easy to set up.He's apparently 72 since
June 15tth, maybe it's just a long birthday party (preparations + hangover) ? :p. No idea.

Now Trump says he wants to provide Patriots, but then they say the US doesn't have many left, I don't know.
The problem is that China is increasingly publicizing its support for Russia, and even if so far I've only heard of a couple of Chinese being taken prisoner in the front by Ukrainian forces, the Russian hardware is full of Chinese components,
so the Russian economy collapsing really depends on China considering it more or less convenient (China has grown influence in central Asia, taking advantage of Russia weakness, but it might either decide he can't leave
Ukraine to Europe, or that it can and it can also take the chance to make Russia more dependent on China, basically whether it was to control Ukraine and Russia or just Russia).

I wish they had done it earlier. I'm not a doctor, and Trump's FDA is not very trustworthy (or any agency under Trump). I still guess this particular case is right, but it is sad that you can't believe it just because it comes from official sources.
