The article is essentially nonsense. Entanglement cannot transmit arbitrary information. At best, it can provide remote synchronization. E.g. my photon collapsed to a 0, therefore I know my partner's photon is a 1. We will execute Playbook A.

Also, nothing teleported. The photon in question was sent via a laser.

Exactly. ELI5 is that quantum teleportation is (sadly) a marketing phrase. It is 2020 and such phrases as "teleported an object" are simply a mischief.
