Ive noticed several posts here linking to politico articles, which I find strange for this community given their history and affiliations.

To everyone reading, just give the wiki page on them a read, follow the references cited in it, and make up your own mind on whether you want to trust it as a source for EU news.

To everyone who posts their articles in here, I hope its just because you weren't aware of all this, rather than anything else.

So i need some input.
I think to replace my unify gear for european / open source one.

And i heavily hesitate between an opensource router with opnsense (from eu).

Or a mikrotik router.

Can any #network or #mikrotik #opensense #pfsense user give me any input.

Also does the one you own provide update / system update to EU server (even as mirror).

i need multiple wifi AP that share the same network

Thanks

I had to buy my dad a work "flash-light" (he's a mechanic) as a present so bought this one and we're really happy with it, battery lasts for a long time and the whole light seems well built.

It's called Scangrip SLIM.

https://www.scangrip.com/en-gb/shop/work-light-range/handlamps/03-6211-slim EU company (Denmark), manufactures in China, 5 year warranty and has replacement parts.

The listing is 97 eur but I got it for 55 eur at my local shop.

Now it's 65 eur, they should be able to ship within the EU, but you should double-check :

We also explored Ledlenser (also EU company) one with those extra attachments but he doesn't need the attachments that much and it's a bit overpriced for what you get if you don't need them. Just putting this out there since some folks might find it useful and come across it while re-searching.

If you guys have any other companies or experience with these types of lights / flashlights please share.

European Union finance ministers agreed on Friday to set a 3 euro ($3.52) customs duty on low-value parcels arriving in the bloc, part of efforts to crack down on cheap Chinese e-commerce imports such as from online retailers Shein and Temu.

The duty will apply from July 1, 2026, and will be in place until a permanent solution is found to eliminate the "de minimis" duties exemption for online purchases below 150 euros, the EU's Council of its 27 governments said in a statement.

...

The bloc was due to remove the exemption in 2028 as part of an overhaul of its customs system, but pressure to act faster has grown amid concerns about Chinese goods being dumped in Europe.

...

The number of low-value e-commerce packages arriving in the bloc doubled last year to 4.6 billion, over 90% of them from China. Imports this year are set to be even higher.

The EU is also considering a separate handling fee, which the European Commission has proposed should be set at 2 euros per parcel. It is not clear when it would be imposed.
