>Inside ASML, the company advanced chipmakers use for EUV lithographyThe only company that manufactures and sells Extreme Ultraviolet (EUV) lithography systems, essential for producing cutting-edge chips, is ASML Holding
>ASML Holding N.V. (ASML) is a Dutch multinational corporation

Apparently, the EU wants to change that because of Trump. It's been talked about on a regular basis for weeks or months now, and almost never before that. I can't say that it will amount to anything, talk is cheap and all that, but it's something at least.

>>106296971
>It's been talked about on a regular basis for weeks or months now
And the results?...

>>106297244
Fair. But these things could take years, Europe has been completely dependent on US tech for a long time. Even so, it could very well just be empty talk.

>>106296971
>EU wants to change
>lets make it harder for companies to form
>lets fine tech companies billions for existing
>lets add more regulations to harass tech companies and delay them

>>106297304
Maybe that's about to change as well. Hopefully the backlash against the insane UK age verification nonsense will scare the EU to back off a little at least.

>Mandates USB charging
You have no idea how many drawer fulls of useless proprietary chargers the people gathered before Based EU Spoke Up.

>>106297339
>making a law about a charger is an innovation
sounds more like an import barrier and fine potential to me, see the EU is content to fine and tariff American tech, be it Android or Apple, instead of making their own tech giants

>>106297328
EU has an even stronger one with DSA and chat control that just forces companies to handover all data with threat of billions in fines for not censoring what they consider "misinformation" and offering privacy to users

>>106297427
Yeah, but that's why I'm hoping that the UK backlash will be strong enough, it actually has very significant consequences for the EU as well.

>>106297328
EU is irredeemable garbage built of communism, based EU meme is retarded.

>>106297452
UK doesnt have the backbone.

It also takes something happening.

You have done absolutely nothing apart from steal from us for the last decade+ there is no way you are receiving any sort of payment however long in court it will take.

EU rocks
go suck off Putins dick

But these are not the tech bubble companies that investors pump up every 10 or so years, so they are irrelevant

Preferable than starting companies with IP you absolutely do not own.

The only problem is the "brain leakage", top scientists like LeCun or basically any nobel price from the US get paid 1m a year there while yuropoors will give you 60k if you are a good boy, and you can dream of ever touching 100k as a researcher. That's why 40% of the chemistry and physics nobels are foreigners that'll never go back.
>t. PhD from France, got 42K in France vs 200k in the US kek

EU is a political system with comedic elements that should not be taken too seriously. It doesn't have any proper leadership and the only 2 great powers that exist within the EU (France and Germany) who are both shadows of their former self cannot even agree who is in charge so they just keep doing their own thing.

Other members also constantly violate the rules by which EU citizens can live and work anywhere and improvise restrictions to prevent slavs overflowing their countries, so nobody actually buys into the bullshit.

EU has so many laws and bureaucrats that it can't possibly keep track of all the shit they invent and they just focus on those laws and regulations that they consider to be more important than others and actually implement those. The unimportant ones like the ebike and scooter regulations are being actively shat on by chinese manufacturers making completely illegal vehicles and selling them all across Europe as the chads that they are.

They are doing their best to be relevant by teaming up with the UK to see who can get closer to 1984

Could have at least chosen a photo without a Russian flag in it. And have some pity for Norilsk, it's one of the most northern cities. Combined with the fact that it's most likely underfunded, no wonder people want to leave it.

>>106305466
Oh, and it's polluted to hell and back, and basically owned by a mining company. Those are also big factors.
