Why deflecting from the implicit question? Why is european ASML incapable of finding fellow european buyers - among 27 strong nations and 500M people?

To state the obvious: Because Europe isn't adding any new fab capacity. That is crazy in the 21st century. They should be helping TSMC and Samsung build new fabs in Europe. What happened to the plan by Intel to build a modern fab in Europe?

Other comments mention: Ireland and Dresden (orders placed earlier probably)

> You don't have to be exclusively one race to be a unique country

You don't. You also dont have to NOT be a homogenous country to be a unique country. Or you dont event have to be unique to be a country.

Bhutan doesn't get as much flack for strict migration policies.

Bhutan is for almost all effects an autonomous state in India, making it part of a larger heterogenous country.

If they wanted to be a more independent country with an independent economy they'd need to revise some of their policies.

And ironically, not Japan.

If different words exists why insist in making "creative" use of the wrong word?

Your local monopoly of water provider charges a fee not a tax (although many collect taxes on behalf of the state that sanctions the monopoly)

Platform apps stores tend to be a monopoly (specially in iOS case) and that decreases incentive to provide a decent service/product to their customers who hate that fact - not because customer have no representation.

I never submitted an app to play store but knowing how Google handles app customers (or any customer of their services/products) its believable that app devs are shafted too. I personally wonder if there's any differentiated service level between an app that results in revenue for Google vs one that is 100% free. I'd be pissed if my 15% fee is not buying me priority over the latest adware filled flashlight app

"Representation" means ability to hire an alternative should the original relationship sour.

We don't need better support. We need a way to fire Google via a robust market full of alternatives.

True.. but now you have more devices to have to secure against attacks...

Edit: this "feature" did save me when my home hosted vaultwarden died due to hdd failure.

Surely it is a sign of societal decadence that the idea of "ai" welfare/rights is even being entertained anywhere outside of fiction or standup comedy

I'm curious that every time BS buys up some we hear about all the criticism of them and never the funding/management model thay has powered saas for the past 15-20years.

Its not like they are making high payout in the purchases. They are snatching assets off weak hands (management, investors) who has no interest or idea on how to make their operations work.

GTD, lifehacking, quantified self... all coolness of the 2000s biting us hard now

Is it a fact that when these devices come the process to unlock will remain the same?

There is little information available about the future devices. I think they are just extrapolating from prior unlockable Motorola devices. IMO it's not worth speculating until there is some official information or someone has actually tested on one of the devices.

At least there's still hope. It would be weird that this would be allowed to stand, with first-class GOS in the picture now.
