Europe doesn't have the manufacturing capacity to arm Ukraine. It has the know-how but it just doesn't produce enough arms. Why? Because they thought they don't need it. Europe thought that in a case of any conflict US will help it so they just need to bare minimum of everything. Now that they realized USA is not a reliable partner (about 8 years too late if you ask me) they are trying to expand their capacity but it's really difficult and will take years. You have to build the factories, hire and train workers, find new sources of raw materials, figure out how to transport it... On top of that USA realizes what is happening so they are putting pressure on everyone to keep buying American weapons. The trade deal requires Europe to buy billions worth of arms from USA so now they have to invest money in local production while spending it in USA at the same time.

How did we get here? Shortsighted and corrupt leaders, especially in Germany.

What will tracking MACs give them? They will now that such and such MAC address connected to such and such WiFi router. What will they do with it? What is the risk here?

  • Not all internet traffic is chats

  • If they have backdoor access to chats it doesn't matter if you use their WiFi or not.

Can we just skip to the point where LLMs are just a bunch of preapproved answers and legal warnings? Maybe we could then hire experts to answer some of the questions? Organize it like some sort of a message board. Let people search previous questions. Wait...

I think this is mostly for non-EU tourists. You don't pay for roaming in EU anymore so you don't really need WiFi when traveling.

Because people know about HTTPS.

EU is a union (it's right in the name). It's as strong or as weak as all of it's members are combined. The people running it are selected by and follow orders of those members. Yes, some of the countries in EU are reasonable but EU as a whole is weak and/or naive.

Foto with bin Salman? The guy who ordered journalist to be brutally murdered and dismembered? And people are now angry at bin Salman because of the photo? I'm still confused.

Great decision. It will be interesting to see what they will get now. From what I've read the only options were F-35 or Eurofighters and they said they will not buy Eurofighters because they already have those and don't want to rely on a single platform that much.

This is only an issue for the Navy that has single light aircraft carrier. It currently launches Harriers but those will be decommissioned by UK soon and Spain will be last country still using them. Recently they announced plans to build two more light aircraft carriers and one full scale one. So they can try using Harriers a bit longer, wait for the full scale aircraft carrier or buy some Eurofighters just for the navy. Even if the navy will lose the ability to deploy fighter jets I don't think it will be a big issue for Spain. They are not planning any middle east invasions anytime soon.

Couple more studies like this and you will be able to substitute all LLMs with generic "I would love to help you but my answer might be harmful so I will not tell you how to X. Would you like to ask me about something else?"

There is a polish movie called "Debt". It's about a guy who unknowingly does some business with a gangster and ends up owning him some money. Throughout the movie he gives the gangster more and more money but the fictional debt only keeps growing.

This is exactly what happened here. EU folded on the trade deal so now US wants more. It was clear to anyone with a little bit of sense that agreeing to 15% tariffs will not stabilize the situation. EU is run by idiots.

So they are criticizing bin Salman? Because Epstein had his picture?
