What has to change to push large EU companies to EU clouds

Mistral have been quite vocal recently about pushing EU AI or falling victim to being a US "vassal state"which makes sense when you look at cloud providers...

https://www.reddit.com/r/technology/comments/1tfj3yc/mistral_ais_ceo_says_europe_has_2_years_to_stop/

For example I read this article regarding Carrefour having almost all there infrastructure being ran Google cloud. I would have thought they would have used a French cloud, are there any large unicorns/large company based in Europe which mainly use EU cloud providers?

Dont buy from Third Party Vendors on Otto.de

If you buy from Otto, make sure you’re not buying from third-party vendors.

I got completely screwed over. I bought something for around €1,500. The item arrived damaged, but I got a replacement in no time. Two months later, I noticed that it was no longer working as intended, so I contacted the vendor to ask for a spare part, but I never received a reply.

I then contacted Otto. First, they told me that they had ceased all relations with the vendor and instructed me to “contact the vendor via email or phone and send us proof that you did.”

today 5 months after my first email asking for a spare part Otto told me they can’t do anything because they are “only an intermediary” between me and the vendor.

What's a good corded (if compact) or battery powered beard trimmer? Ideally very long lasting

I had a Philips BT7220 for 10 years now. Battery is still ok, but it sometimes snags my beard and makes it so i have split hairs down the line (I wish i could find a replacement head + blade but so far no luck). I would ideally use something ONLY for the beard and not a multi groomer, if there is a multi groomer product that has some quality build then feel free to tell me.

I heard a lot about the Norelco, especially the 7900 series but the thing i hate about these products is the seventy different products with tiny differences. Most things i see online are geared towards Wahl, Brio in the US, but I wanted Braun, Philipps.

What do you guys think of these two i found?

Philips

Braun Series 7

Common EU charger law is not included in hair care devices

I am so sick of this tangle of cables. I have a few trimmers, and literally every single one uses a different size proprietary two-pin plug.
I know the EU mandated USB-C for phones and laptops, but personal care devices seem completely ignored. Does anyone know if there is an upcoming EU ecodesign regulation that will finally force these manufacturers to switch to USB-C?

Or one size for all those kind of devices

Fancy Bluetooth Speaker Made in EU

Hi all! I am looking for a high quality Bluetooth speaker that combines great sound with minimalist design. I really liked the idea of the B&O Beosound Balance. However, I reached out to their customer service to find out where it is being produced and unfortunately it’s made in China. Do any of you know about similar products made in EU? Thank you!

Apps.eu wants to bring more visibility to European software startups.

To boost visibility for European software startups, I launched Apps.eu, a review and marketing platform focused on software from Europe.

Give it a try, and I’ll appreciate your feedback.

If you have a software product, you can submit it now for free, but I’ll switch to a paid model later to maintain high quality.
