In vertraulichen Verhandlungen zwischen Union und SPD kursieren laut Berichten der Bild Pläne, die das Entgeltfortzahlungsgesetz radikal umkrempeln würden. Karenztag, verkürzte Lohnfortzahlung, einmalige Zahlungspflicht pro Jahr – was nach Wirtschaftspolitik klingt, ist ein Frontalangriff auf Arbeitnehmerrechte.

Zwei Amtsenthebungsverfahren hat US-Präsident Trump schon überstanden, nun drängt Obamas früherer CIA-Chef auf einen neuen Versuch. Sein Indiz: Trumps Agieren im Krieg gegen Iran.

Während andere Regierungschefs deutlich bessere Zustimmungswerte erzielen, liegt der deutsche Kanzler hinten. Experten machen nur nicht seine Politik sondern auch ihn als Person für die schlechte Stimmung verantwortlich.

What's it going to take, 'Murica?

The story originally surfaced on a Taiwanese forum similar to Reddit, before being picked up by tech outlets.

“When I was squatting in the toilet, I suddenly heard the cat keep screaming, and when I opened the door, I saw the smoke and smell of plastic,” the user explained.

While the cat’s alert likely prevented a worse outcome, the incident highlights an issue that has followed NVIDIA’s flagship GPU since launch.

The RTX 4090 has been plagued by reports of its 16-pin 12VHPWR power connectors overheating or melting under certain conditions. Investigations previously suggested that improper cable seating or uneven power distribution across pins could lead to dangerous heat buildup.

[A] recent analysis of 267 Chinese‑financed projects in Addis Ababa (Ethiopia), Kinshasa (Democratic Republic of Congo), Lagos (Nigeria), Luanda (Angola), Lusaka (Zambia) and Nairobi (Kenya) shows that while China delivers an impressive volume of infrastructure, it risks reinforcing Africa’s national government dominance in decision-making on urban infrastructure development.

...

Cities – their governments and residents – are excluded from the project planning and negotiation process.

...

The agreements were mostly negotiated and funded through national ministries or state agencies. This happens partly because many cities are legally restricted from taking on external debt, and partly because lenders prefer working with sovereign governments.

...

If African cities are to manage the rapid urbanisation and meet the needs of the roughly 1.5 billion people expected to live in urban areas by mid-century, they need more than new bridges and roads.

They need the fiscal power and planning capacity to plan, finance and govern infrastructure on their own terms.

...

These steps would be useful:

• rethink how urban infrastructure is discussed

• strengthen municipal revenue and financial capacity

• improve planning coordination across governments.

...

The challenge for African cities is not simply attracting more finance but gaining the authority and capacity to guide urban development. China will likely remain an important financier. But no external partner can substitute for strong city institutions, transparent financial systems, and coordinated planning.
