The last three times that Europe had a large independent military force(s), things didn't end so well for the world.
International commerce and business and shared democratic norms are a fscking good things. We have lost the people who learned that the hard way, and they are being replaced with people who have never read a history book.
The interesting thing is that there is a lot of evidence that Tesla is about to embed Carplay. Rivian has taken over the privileged insanely expensive EV car market, as the Model Y is the closest thing to the old Honda/Toyota dominance, just in the EV space.
This is completely infeasible in the age of mythos. The reality is that the velocity is just not going to feasible from a security PoV without leveraging these tools.
Or if you want something from a vendor butting running decade old hardware configs and trying to lock people into their drive ecosystem, UNas or many other options.
This is not a homelab replacement part. It’s enterprise with all the positive and negatives that come with that phrase. The second you start talking about old X hardware, it’s a different product class.
For that use case I recommend UNas from ugreen or the minis forum ryzen Ai stuff.
The market regulators don't give a fuck if companies screw over their customers privacy wise, as long as it's to the advantage of European companies and European customers.
This can lead to absolute insanity as companies try to satisfy both privacy and market conditions. It's not simple. How many years did google waste with Sandbox?
From personal, separate experience with Europe. It's quite common that the market watchdog and the privacy watchdogs are at odds with each other and make it impossible to achieve a solution that satisfies both of them.
Another example here is Google Chrome - which still allows third party cookies because even thought the privacy regulator wanted them gone, the market regulator required them to architect a solution that was unworkable to not take advantage of their gatekeeper advantages when others didn't have the same rights as them. Google finally said fuck it, and walked away from the privacy features in order to satisfy the anti-trust regulators.
Not shipping this feature in Europe is a common way to deal with satisfying the balkanized regulators there.
This isn't really true. AI laws in the EU mandate that Apple give full access to everythign on the device to third parties.
It's legit to be skeptical on the privacy front, but giving deepseek access to my entire phone. Or the TrumpAI at some point in a dystopian future seems... not great.
How many sales do that 1% drive? They also tend to be the evangelical users / YouTubers / tech bloggers that drive sales for the company.
Bambu is following Synology's footsteps here. And just like Synology, they will wake up to press at some point and common wisdom "don't buy Synology, the elite moved off when Green came out and now the rest are leaving too".
I own the most expensive Bambu (The H2C) - and even I am willing to admit that the snap maker is a great printer, and a better technical path in someways then the H2C vortek system for anyone who doesn't care about engineering filament
That's not true - that's a canary that Bambu through out there to distract from the thing that they absolutely took steps to force everyone into their ecosystem (which just happens to only sell their product, and to monetize prints directly for them).
As I recall, the features in the Selectric where what sank the Killian documents forgery a few years ago. Even the Selectric (which was the defense about claiming that the proportionally spaced document that was produced perfectly out of Microsoft word with default settings) couldn't do some of the existing things that word did by default, but it was still a technical marvel for its day.
It's also worth remembering that Ted Turner also funded and asked for editorial changes to the the movie version of Gods and Generals, which downplayed slavyer and embraced the Confederate "lost cause" ideology. Most historians consider that as denial-ism on the same order as holocaust denial and the "stabbed in the back" claim that Hitler's used to seize power in the first place. He also attacked his own employees because of their religious beliefs. He later apologized for much of this, but if you want to find some of the reason for the modern return of fascism, you have to consider this.
